Volume 1: The Top of Qinglong Mountain Chapter 5: Death
"Ah, zombie!" Seeing Cui Houqing, Bai Sheng remembered the pair of blood-colored eyes before fainting, and suddenly cried out in panic.
Cui Houqing's eyes flashed with a touch of sadness, and he said in his heart that there are still people who treat me as a monster!
Lin Haoran shook his head in astonishment and said, "Immortal, he is not a zombie, he is my friend, his name is Cui Houqing!"
Bai Sheng looked at it for a while, then retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Look at me, it must be because I have been too nervous these days, and everyone is a zombie." I remember you saved my life in a tense moment, and I should thank you!"
"Don't thank me, evil demon, everyone will be punished!" Cui Houqing shook his head and said. Suddenly, for some reason, he thought of the demon in the dark air that night. Could that man in black be him? Yes, it must be, Cui Houqing suddenly had this idea in his heart, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had caught something, but this point was faintly lost, so he was stunned.
"Okay! Well said!" Bai Sheng said too fiercely, and coughed violently, a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"It's getting late, why are you two here?" Bai Sheng asked, holding back his cough, wiping away the blood from the corners of his mouth.
Cui Houqing didn't speak, staring at the sky blankly, distracted!
After a while, Lin Haoran said: "I went up the mountain to chop firewood and got lost, and Houqing didn't know why he was there." ”
Speaking of this, Bai Shengcai took a good look at the qualifications of the two, the young man who was talking in front of him, the root bone Qijia was actually a good qualification to learn the Tao, but it was another teenager, but the qualifications were not very good, with the current degree of strictness, it may be difficult to enter Penglai Mountain.
Bai Sheng looked up and asked, "What's your name?"
Lin Haoran saw the immortal asking him, and hurriedly said, "Immortal, my name is Lin Haoran!"
"What about you?" Bai Shengfu asked again.
Cui Houqing didn't hear it, and he went straight to his senses!
Lin Haoran shook him twice and said, "Cui Houqing, Cui Houqing, the immortals are asking you!"
Cui Houqing woke up and said apologetically: "Hmm, my name is Cui Houqing!"
Bai Sheng didn't mean to blame, and said with a smile: "You also want to go up the mountain to cultivate immortals?"
Cui Houqing hesitated for a moment before nodding!
There was a hint of gloom in Bai Sheng's eyes, and he suddenly stopped talking. He was originally ordered by the master to chase down the zombie with long hair, and yesterday when he was in an emergency, he hurriedly resorted to a secret method, causing his spiritual power to be exhausted and self-harming, and he had no worries about his life, but he didn't want to be bitten, if it wasn't for Cui Houqing's shot, he would definitely die on the spot, not only could he not complete the master's life, but maybe he would also suffer endless harm. But he was still poisoned by the corpse, he would rather die than become that zombie monster, in order not to insult the Xianmen Dao, so he was already ready to die. The fanatical eyes of these two children regard him as a fairy, everyone in the world thinks that the immortal cultivators are immortals, chic and splendid, with infinite scenery, but they don't know the cruelty and helplessness behind it, just like they ended up like this, but they don't regret it.
Bai Sheng retracted his eyes, he felt that his right hand and half of his body were cold, stiff and numb, he knew that the corpse poison was about to spread to his whole body, and time was running out.
He stretched out his left hand and put it on Cui Houqing's wrist, and shook his head for a long time, this kid is really not qualified, in addition, there is a faint violent aura in his body, which can be regarded as congenitally bad.
"You two, do you really want to join my Bishan faction?"
Cui Houqing and Lin Haoran glanced at each other and nodded.
"Well, although I am about to die, you still have a sword with me, and I will help you. I have a piece of jade trick here, you wear it on your body, I think it will be easy to get started!"
Cui Houqing took the jade plaque, thanked him, and then handed it to Lin Haoran. He has already worshiped his teacher, and Qinglong Temple is really his teacher.
Bai Sheng suddenly twitched, his face was black, and it was very scary.
"Ah, what's wrong with you?" Lin Haoran said worriedly.
After a while, Bai Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed it, and said, "I was bitten by that monster, and I was already poisoned by zombies, I'm afraid time is running out." He glanced at the long sword in Cui Houqing's hand and said, "I don't want to become that walking corpse, junior brother Cui Houqing, you can kill me!"
This call was to treat him as his own person and call him to his heart!
"Is there really no cure?" Cui Houqing looked up at the sky, his heart was surging, mortals could not escape the fate of doom, why are even fairy-like characters so pitiful? What is wrong with this world?
Bai Sheng nodded, closed his eyes and said, "Let's do it! Don't tell others that you've seen me! Don't let them worry about me." ”
Cui Houqing slowly raised the sword, put it down again before it reached the top of his head, and then picked up a stone on the side of the road and smashed it at the back of his head.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, a gust of wind sweeps by, the dark clouds in the sky are scattered, the dark gray sky is dotted with stars, the Milky Way crosses by, the moonlight pours like water, and this land is as bright as day.
Cui Houqing looked up, and there were stars in the sky, and it was a full moon!
Not far away, a white shadow jumped and jumped and gradually faded away, submerging into the darkness ahead, looking like a white dog from a distance!
"Why didn't you kill him?" Lin Haoran complained a little.
Cui Houqing looked at the darkness in front of him and said, "Do you say he really wants to die?"
Lin Haoran lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "That's trying to die, right?"
Cui Houqing turned his head to look at him, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Then why didn't he do it himself?"
Lin Haoran didn't speak, Cui Houqing turned around and walked towards the village, muttering in his mouth: "I think he still wants to live, no matter what it becomes, he still wants to live." Anyway, he still wants to live..."
Lin Haoran didn't understand it, turned around and followed, but saw that in front of him, Cui Houqing fell on the side of the road with a "poof", his face was full of sadness and tears!
The cold wind blew, and the icy rain wet Cui Houqing's face. Cui Houqing woke up slowly, I don't know how long he had been asleep, the fairy sword fell a foot in front of him, and there was no trace of Bai Sheng in front of him. Cui Houqing shouted in a low voice: "Senior brother." He walked to the door, and the rain flowed down the eaves, blocking the view, and the cold wind and the showers washed everything wildly. In the distance, a white shadow jumped into the darkness. Senior brother, is that you? Cui Houqing's heart trembled slightly. When Cui Houqing came back to his senses, he turned around and looked at where there was still a long-haired figure, and he didn't know when he woke up and when he secretly escaped. Cui Houqing had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and looked towards the village in the rain curtain. Suddenly, his eyes tingled, and a touch of blood red flowed out of the village in the distance, Cui Houqing felt anxious in his heart, rushed into the rain frantically, and ran towards the village.
It didn't take long for Cui Houqing to feel strange before coming to the door, at this time, the villagers were already busy, but the door of his house was still closed, and his parents had already gone to work in the field at this time.
"Dad, mother, open the door quickly! I'm back...." Cui Houqing stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no matter how hoarse he was, it was as quiet as late at night. He looked through the crack in the door, and the door was still wide open, but there was no one in the dead silence.
The door is bolted on the inside and cannot be opened on the outside. He had no choice but to climb to the courtyard wall by the small tree by the wall, as he had done in the past, and jump into the courtyard. Looking at the blood in the courtyard, Cui Houqing was stunned for a moment, a bad premonition came to his heart, and the blood rushed up in an instant, and there seemed to be a few deer in his heart, "coo-dong-coo-dong" bumping around.
Following the bloodstains, he walked forward step by step, until he walked into the door, and the bloodstains extended to the bedside in the room, and two dark figures were still lying on the bed.
"Dad, mother" Cui Houqing screamed softly, his feet were as difficult to move as lead, his heart was about to jump out, and he thought in his mind: Daddy, you must not have anything to do, or what should I do? But God is like fighting him, the flies on the bed buzzed, a trace of liquid dripped down from the side of the bed, and the ground was dark, it was blood!
Cui Houqing's mind was like a madness, and he rushed forward, "Dad, mother" A terrible cry, his eyes were dark, and he fainted like this!
I don't know how long it took, Cui Houqing suddenly woke up, sat up suddenly, gasped for breath, and his hands trembled slightly. When he fell asleep, his mind was full of blood, and his face was vicious, and he had nightmares.
When he calmed down and looked around, it was an ordinary house, just like his own home, and the furnishings were somewhat similar, two wooden beds, a table, surrounded by a teapot, covered with several tea bowls, and a few stools randomly placed around the table on the ground, simple and quiet.
On the wall directly above the table, there was a portrait of an immortal holding a sword and fighting with people, and below the portrait was an incense burner made of clay, in which were inserted three incense sticks, and the incense had been burned for most of it, and there was green smoke rising from it. Cui Houqing knew that the portrait was painted from the Penglai Mountain faction, and the villagers regarded them as immortals and worshiped them at home, hoping to bless their families with safety. On the wall of Cui Houqing's house, there is also a portrait that looks the same.
Cui Houqing knew in his heart that he must have slept in someone's house, and he sat on the bed for a while, and when he recalled it, this day was like a dream, and he couldn't believe it! A thought suddenly arose in his heart: Maybe everything last night was a nightmare, right? Maybe he had been sleeping here all along? His mother must still be at home with shoes, and when she saw her, she would laugh and scold him as usual: "You little lazy worm!" Dad would put him around his neck and ride a big horse.
He slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked towards the door.
"Squeak", Cui Houqing was like a frightened rabbit, and he was shocked and trembled.
The door opened, and a boy of the same kind entered.
"Well, Cui Houqing, you're awake! I thought you were going to sleep for a while! I didn't scare you, did I?" the boy smiled apologetically.
Cui Houqing shook his head and asked, "Lin Haoran, how long have I been asleep, why are I at your house?"
Lin Haoran is the only and best playmate in Cui Houqing's village. Lin Haoran's eyes flashed with sadness, and he said in a low voice: "Cui Houqing, you slept for a day and a night, and you had a terrible fever in the middle, and the fever only subsided this morning." Our two families are neighbors, and yesterday my dad heard your shouting and rushed in to find you lying on the ground, and found... Discovery..."A mist flashed in Lin Haoran's eyes, and tears rolled in his eyes.
"What did you find, what did you find, Haoran, say it quickly?" Cui Houqing was shocked, and hugged Lin Haoran's shoulders with both hands and shook vigorously.
Lin Haoran glanced at Cui Houqing, turned his eyes away, and said after a while: "Cui Houqing, don't be too sad, the people in the village have already helped bury your uncle and aunt yesterday, although there is no Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui, but you still have me, my family will not leave you alone." ”
Cui Houqing let go of Lin Haoran as if he had been struck by lightning, took two steps back, and his hands hung down weakly. Really! Everything is true! My father and mother are dead, what should I do? Cui Houqing only felt that the sky was spinning, blood was gushing up, and his throat was sweet, and he squirted out in one gulp.
"Cui Houqing, Cui Houqing, you have to hold on. Seeing this, Lin Haoran hurriedly took two steps forward to support Cui Houqing, tears welling up. Two children, you look at me, I look at you, my eyes are full of vicissitudes and helplessness, and the two hearts are intertwined like this.
Two lines of tears, just like that, silently, slipped down.
The two children, just like that, silently, looked at each other.
