Chapter 2 Late Night, School, Grove

Previous Chapter

Hey, don't scare yourself, I wiped a cold sweat that didn't exist, and thought to myself, although I have heard from people in my hometown since I was a child that the hundred-year-old locust tree at the entrance of the village turned into a small willow sapling overnight, and that the willow tree often has supernatural events such as female ghosts haunting the tree when it grows up, but I am not interested in these things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info jokes, now is the age of technology, who would believe these non-existent things. However, the cat... Phew, it's impossible, it's all just fiction, well, that's right, fiction... And the most important thing now is to think about how to get back to school, so I walked in the direction of the school......

But what I didn't know was that there was such a conversation going on in the store at this time-

"Is it really okay to give him the Star Ring? He's a member of the Qi family! Sensing that I had left, Xiaohuai struggled out of the shopkeeper's arms and asked worriedly.

"Of course it's no problem, they all said that they were returning his sister's favor, and," the shopkeeper smiled slightly, stretched out his slender index finger and drew two words on the counter, "He is not the 'Qi' family, but the 'Qi' family." ”

"Oh? Is that the 'Qi' family you said was 'horizontal and vertical'? Xiaohuai smiled.

"That's right," the corners of the shopkeeper's mouth curled slightly, revealing an old fox-like smile, and his index finger tapped lightly on the tabletop, "It is the side branch that was expelled by the Qi family, the head of the 'Five Demon Exterminators' - the 'Qi' of the 'Qi'!" ”

In ancient times, the demons disturbed the earth, harming the world, the people were not able to make a living, and everyone was in danger. Humans are powerless to resist monsters, and even if they form a human alliance "Zhou", they will not be able to resist the demon regime "Yin Shang". So people can only pray, but how can they pray? To whom should I pray? As a result, the word "gods" came into being, and in the imagination of human beings, gods are more powerful than demons, omniscient, omniscient, and omnipotent. People have always believed that the "gods" are real and will definitely save them from fire and water, as long as they keep praying and praying, the "gods" will definitely come to the world and destroy the evil.

The words spoken by the people are powerful, and the endless supplications and prayers have nowhere to be digested, and finally coalesce into a thickening and anonymous book. Then one day, a young man surnamed Jiang stumbled upon the book and got a blank page in it, and when he accidentally added his name to it, he found that he had the power to fight and even defeat demons. So after an epiphany, he soaked the blank pages in the unsullied water, placed them in the top of pure gold, quenched them with thunder and burning fire, and mixed them with the wood of the beginning, after eight nine hundred and seventy-two years, with the sun of sunrise and the yin of the moon setting, he made it into a book that can give the named person the power to resist demons and absorb the essence of heaven and earth for self-improvement. On the day the book was completed, it coincided with Ji Chang, the leader of the human alliance, who came to invite the old man surnamed Jiang, who was also a young man surnamed Jiang, to help in the war. So, the old man surnamed Jiang recorded the names of a cadre of generals on the first page of the god list, giving them different anti-demon powers. Then, under the leadership of the old man surnamed Jiang and Ji Chang, he led the human alliance army named "Zhou" to counterattack the demon regime known as "Yin Shang", and won the victory after twists and turns, and established the human regime - the Zhou Dynasty.

After the war, the demon clan scattered and fled, still making chaos in various places from time to time, so for the sake of the common people in the world, the old man surnamed Jiang split the list of gods into one large, four small and five books, leaving the big book in the central place, controlled by his own generation, and scattered the remaining four books in all directions, and gave them to the people who were destined to subdue the demons, so that the world gradually stabilized.

As for the Jiang clan being sealed in Qi, and some of the clansmen changed their surnames to Qi to be in charge of the capital, that is a later story.

At night, on the moonlit branches, the grove on the west side of the school, by the wall, was silent, except for the faint sound of the creek separating the grove from the teaching area.

"Knock—" A black shadow clumsily rolled over from outside the wall, and fell to the ground with one foot in the air, grinning in pain but not daring to make a sound. This clumsy figure is exactly me who skipped school in the afternoon and returned to school at night.

"Sizzle-" I gasped and rubbed the place I had just fallen to my feet. His eyes adjusted to the darkness around him a little, and he was relieved to see that there was no one else nearby. That's right, how can you meet others in a place where you rarely see people during the day.

Just as I walked to the edge of the grove in the dark, intending to sneak back to the dormitory through the stone bridge, I found a dark shadow curled up by the river, obscured by the shadows of the branches and leaves of the trees, so I couldn't see what it was, and I could only faintly see the outline of the human form.

As if sensing my approach, the dark figure moved, and must have turned its head to look at me. I thought of the weird cat I saw during the day, and said that this could not be the senior who once drowned in this small river, and now turned into a water ghost and went ashore to find a substitute to return to the yang? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel my scalp tingle, and I wanted to turn around and run away, but my legs couldn't move as if they were filled with lead. At this moment, the "water ghost" spoke, but a female voice came out: "You are... Qi Chunhui? Is it Qi Chunhui? It made me feel a little hesitant in a familiar voice, as if I didn't believe I was in such a place. And I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground, at least to make sure that the other party was not a demon.

"Huh?! Are you okay? Seeing that I fell to the ground suddenly, the "water ghost" couldn't sit still, and asked worriedly, while running towards me, until the "water ghost" came to me, I saw her appearance clearly through the faint moonlight: a red and white school uniform was slightly wide, collapsing on the girl's delicate body, and the soft moonlight was evenly sprinkled on the girl's neck-length short black hair, and also sprinkled on her beautiful white face, and a pair of clear black eyes were full of worry at this time.

I sat up straight and smiled, "It's you, Muxia." Don't worry, I'm fine, I was just scared by you. "Squatting next to me at the moment is none other than my classmate, Mu Xia.

"Is it really okay? Just scared by me? Haha~ Your guts are so small~" Hearing my answer, Mu Xia put his mind at ease and sat next to me and quipped.

"Ahh I scratched my head, and had to change the subject to resolve the dilemma, "Why is Muxia here?" Three watches in the middle of the night, and there is no one here, don't you think it's very eerie and terrifying? ”

"That's not the case!" Mu Xia shook his head and continued, "The plants here are all chatting with me~ Huh?! Oops! Mu Xia quickly covered his mouth as if he had revealed some secret, his expression slightly annoyed.

"Communicating with plants?" I wondered.

Mu Xia sighed, his eyes were a little gloomy, and said, "Sure enough, no one will believe that you can communicate with plants......"

"No, I'm just curious, it's not that I don't believe you," I smiled at Mu Xia as I began to reminisce, "Actually... I've always thought I could communicate with cats, because almost all cats don't run away when they see me, but approach me slowly and cautiously, so I wonder if these cats can communicate with me. So when I was a kid, ......"

In this way, I talked a lot about Mu Xia, from kindergarten to elementary school, from elementary school to junior high school, and then from junior high school to the present, Mu Xia listened quietly beside me, and from time to time he would smile or sigh because of my story.

Until many years later, I didn't understand why I was able to tell Mu Xia everything about me at the beginning, perhaps, this is what people often say, at the right time, in the right place, I met the right person......

And the picture at that time will still come to my mind from time to time: in the secluded dense forest, the girl quietly watched the young man's side face softened a lot in the moonlight, listening carefully to every word the young man said, not far from the river from time to time came the chirping of frogs, there was a breeze blowing, blowing the branches and leaves "rustling", the girl moved in the direction of the young man, leaning closer, the girl's faint tea smell mixed with the smell of damp earth came to the face, making the young man's ears slightly hot, The boy pretended to be calm and continued to tell his story, but his face turned red uncontrollably, the girl smiled because of the shyness of the girl, but the boy fell into a stupor because of the amazement of the girl's smile, and told the story mechanically at the urging of the girl, but it took a long time to barely move his eyes off the girl's face, but the boy didn't know that after he removed his burning gaze, the girl's face also revealed a few imperceptible redness.

In a few birdsongs, I gradually woke up and found that it was early in the morning, and there was no trace of Mu Xia beside me, only a few lines of beautiful small words on the mud floor: "Good morning~ I had a very happy chat last night, because I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't wake you up, and, thank you for believing in me." ”

The memory of last night was a little blurry, and I thought I must have been drunk, drunk with that beautiful smile.
