Time flies, like the Chu River flowing eastward, never to return.

Ye Ling's life has become the same, and no one disturbs him, but what happened a few days ago is still vivid, which makes him feel as if he is in a different world.

It's been four days since the Yokai Bazaar.

During the day, he goes to and from school on time, and his cute table mate helps him write his homework, and he doesn't want to listen to the class in class, so he squints his eyes and takes a nap, and there is no teacher who is idle and bored to care about him.

On the way out of school in the afternoon, I went to the restaurant to order an old hen to replenish my body, and after a full meal, I returned home to eat some white rice.

In the evening, I practiced swordsmanship.

It's not been so boring these days, two small things have happened.

One is that Lingbi Middle School held the last monthly examination of the third semester of high school, and the students were full of energy and enthusiastically participated in the exam.

Ye Ling didn't care, he wrote each paper in the examination room for half an hour, and then fell asleep.

The second thing happened a bit unexpectedly.

One day at noon, Ye Ling sat in the corner to eat as usual.

Then, a shadow came to Ye Ling's opposite, and the middle-aged Taoist priest Sun Huaiyi sat down with a dinner plate.

"Hello, classmate. ”

Ye Ling raised his head when he heard this, and looked at the middle-aged man eating vegetarian dishes opposite him suspiciously.

This Taoist priest named Sun Huaiyi has been wandering around Lingbi No. 1 in the past few days, and he has passed by several coincidences.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Ye Ling asked with a smile.

Sun Huaiyi didn't answer the meaning, but asked rhetorically: "Do you believe that there are monsters in the world?"

Ye Ling stared at him and suddenly grinned indifferently.

"I don't believe it. ”

Sun Huaiyi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is that really the case?"

The smile on Ye Ling's face became heavier and heavier, and he nodded slowly.

Sun Huaiyi suddenly laughed, got up and patted Ye Ling on the shoulder: "If you don't believe it, the scholar is upright, what kind of ghosts and gods do you believe, those are fallacies to confuse the public, nonsense, and will only poison people's hearts." ”

Hearing this, Ye Ling looked at him silently and did not speak.

Sun Huaiyi picked up the dinner plate and said: "Poor Road has eaten, go first, by the way, after the college entrance examination, you can come to Qingcheng Mountain in Poor Road to play, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, and it is a good summer resort...... Maybe it will change some of your minds. ”

When he saw this young man that day, he favored Ye Ling, and he had extremely strong yang energy on his body, and he was the best onmyoji seedling.

In fact, he didn't know that Ye Ling had traded out Yang Qi a few days ago, and this moment was the most empty time, but even so, after a few days of rest, the Yang Qi in his body began to gradually become dense again.

Ye Ling's eyes were weird, looking at Sun Huaiyi's departing back.

"I don't eat two bites of rice, and I chirp and say a lot of crooked things...... Qingcheng Mountain?Heh, are there monsters on the mountain?"

He picked up the plate with a spoon and devoured the food in front of him in a few bites.

......

On the evening of the fifth day.

Ye Ling still practiced drawing his sword in his bedroom, and he practiced for four hours a day, which was 2,400 times to draw his sword and collect it.

In the first four days, he practiced a total of 9,600 times.

At this moment, with the sword in his hand, he already has a feeling like an arm and a finger.

This is not an illusion, the same action will be proficient if you do it dozens of times, and it will become a habit if you do it thousands of times.

After practicing drawing his sword four hundred times tonight, Ye Ling made up ten thousand times, and then he felt his body heat up slightly, as if those cells and muscles had woken up, and he stopped.

"Ye Ling, you can take the second lesson of swordsmanship, draw the sword with your left hand ten thousand times...... Want to start?"

Gu Xuanniao whispered in Ye Ling's mind.

Ye Ling shook his head, pinched the muscles on his arm, and said with a smile.

"Tonight, go out and have some fun. ”

......

Gray moonlight, ruined temples, yellow mud paths overgrown with weeds.

In the distant night, the group walked to the mountain temple of the black hole.

The leader is an old man who is over the age of six, his face is full of ravines, but he is very kind, wearing a black tunic and cloth shoes.

The old man's name is Jiang Liyang, he was a thief for a few days when he was young, and he counted his life for a few days, and then he felt that life should not be so wasteful, so he went up to a deserted mountain with few people, ready to be a Taoist priest, far away from the world, and died of old age.

However, the providence is unpredictable, and there is a monster hidden on that mountain.

Jiang Liyang met by fate, and devoured a drop of demon's true blood without dying, and as a result, he was lucky enough to get a mountain and sea technique, and he became an onmyoji.

After that, his life changed greatly, and he went down the mountain at the right time and broke into a big family business.

Now he has two newly recruited apprentices, preparing to subdue demons here.

"Gu Mountain, Gu Shui, this place is full of demons, no one is inhabited, and it is the best place for monsters to live. ”

Jiang Liyang turned his head and explained to the young boy and girl behind him.

Gu Shan and Gu Shui are a pair of cousins.

Gu Shansheng's jade tree is in the wind, extremely handsome, Gu Shui's eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and his temperament is dusty, the two walk together, they are really a pair of golden boys and girls who envy others.

It was the first time for the two of them to follow their master Jiang Liyang to the mountains and seas.

Gu Shan smiled and asked, "The temple is a little demon, master, do you say that there is a thousand-year-old white fox in this temple, or is there a mountain and water god who has stolen and eaten passers-by?"

The girl Gu Shui hurriedly replied: "Cousin, this temple is dripping on rainy days, the sun is leaking, there are few people, monsters can't find anyone to eat, and if there are monsters, they must just be incompetent little demons, and the master can suppress them with a raised hand." ”

The girl Gu Shui carried a cute backpack on her shoulder, and her big black eyes looked around, feeling very novel, not like she was going to subdue demons and subdue demons, but like a tourist who was climbing a mountain.

Jiang Liyang laughed when he heard this, and said: "I suppressed that demon today, practiced true blood, and gave it to you, if you are lucky, you can comprehend the mountain and sea arts, and you can become a transcendent onmyoji tonight." ”

One of the easiest and most common ways to become an onmyoji is to take the true blood of the monsters, and those with good talent will have a chance to comprehend the art of mountains and seas, while those who are poor will eat the true blood, and at most improve their physique.

And cultivating the art of mountains and seas requires more true blood, so whether it is those onmyoji sect families, or "lonely people" like Jiang Liyang, they all love to walk between mountains and rivers to subdue demons and subdue demons.

A flash of joy flashed in Gu Shan's eyes, and he said: "If the disciple can really comprehend the mountain and sea arts and become an onmyoji, he will definitely repay the favor and give all the worldly properties in his family to the master." ”

Seeing this, Gu Shui also thanked him again and again, and made a generous promise, although they didn't really get anything yet.

Jiang Liyang smiled and waved his hand: "It's good if you have a heart." ”

The three of them stepped into the mountain temple.

Gu Shui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a corner in the broken temple and shouted in surprise.

"Master, there's a monster!"

Jiang Liyang's body stiffened, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "What a fuss, that's just an ordinary young man." ”

In the corner of the temple of the mountain.

A short-sleeved teenager sat on the ground, about the same age as Gu Shan and Gu Shui's cousins, with a large thermos cup resting at his feet, and a cup of hot water soaked with wolfberries in his hand.

Seeing the three of them enter the door, the young man was not so frightened, just raised his head and smiled slightly, and then continued to take a sip of wolfberry tea.

Gu Shan glanced at Jiang Liyang cautiously, and Jiang Liyang nodded slightly.

Then, Gu Shan stepped forward with his hands behind his back, pretending to talk casually and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing in the temple in the middle of the night?"

Ye Ling glanced up at him: "I'm here to play." ”

Gu Shan was puzzled by this answer, playing, what is the fun in the broken temple, and the strange people.

Oh, this young man must have been playing in the mountains during the day, but he forgot the hour, and at this moment he was going down the mountain to Lingbi City, passing by the broken temple and coming in to rest.

"When you're done, go home quickly, there are wolves and tigers in the mountains. ”

The girl Gu Shui came over and kindly admonished.

Gu Shui thought to himself that it was fortunate that we were here today, otherwise when the monsters in this mountain temple came home, they would inevitably eat your young man's belly. Your luck is really good, go home and burn incense and worship the Buddha.

Ye Ling looked at them curiously, shook his head and said, "This hill is desolate and low, and there are no wolves. ”

Gu Shui pulled the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "I'll make an analogy, it's not good for you to fall down when the road is slippery in the dark, so let's go home quickly after resting." ”

"I know you're making an analogy. ”

Ye Ling shook his head again, raised his head and took a sip of hot water and said.

"I mean there are no wolves in this mountain, but there are tigers. ”
