Chapter I
"Qianyunguan disciple Qianqing, Dao name Yun Hengzi, this woman is talented and intelligent, and her qualifications are extraordinary, but she does not follow the right path and deviates from the demon path, steals the forbidden art in the Guanzhong, and mutilates countless living beings."
The head of Qianyunguan stood with his hands in his hands, in the center of the dojo, solemnly and solemnly announcing the crimes of the criminals, and there was a faint exhaustion between the vicissitudes of life.
It was the dead of night, but at this moment, there were small whispers in the Qianyunguan Dojo.
In the center of the dojo, a man was tied to a wooden stake, the chain was deeply rooted in the flesh, and there was a pile of firewood around it. All around were sect disciples, dressed in snow-white robes, and their eyes looked at this person with surprise or suspicion.
This person was also dressed in a white robe, but he was so stained with blood that he could barely see the primary color, his breath was almost untouchable, and his head hung down, and blood dripped down the ends of his hair.
A little Taoist priest who came in a hurry stood on the periphery of the crowd, he had never seen such a scene, he was afraid and shocked in his heart, and asked with his mouth slightly open: "This, who is this?" β
"This is Senior Sister Yun Hengzi, the little disciple of the Great Elder, a thousand pours out." A young Taoist aunt answered him.
The little Taoist priest was shocked, his eyes widened and he said, "What, this is Senior Sister Tilting?" Why, how did it get to this?. β
A short Taoist priest with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks next to him snorted coldly when he heard this: "Yes, this is the famous Yun Hengzi Dao Chief, a genius young man who is only seventeen years old, and his Taoist name is far and wide in the world." Didn't you always rely on your cultivation to be pretentious and ignore us in the past, but now you haven't become this half-dead! β
The little Taoist priest said to him indignantly: "Senior Sister Qian Xu is not pretentious, she is very good!" β
The dwarf Taoist priest crooked his mouth and sarcastically said, "It's very good, it's very good." She was proud of her scenery before, so she was naturally very good. Now that she has committed something, hasn't the head locked her up and beaten her for a whole month, and now she is released and directly executed, hmph, is she still very good? β
The little Taoist priest couldn't tell him, turned his head angrily, and then anxiously asked the Taoist aunt: "This senior sister, what mistake did Senior Sister Qian Xu make, and why did the head of the sect take her life?" How could Senior Sister make a mistake, it's impossible. β
The Dao Gu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed and said, "You are still young, I don't know the depth of this matter." This time, the boss insisted on doing it, and she was bound to die. It's also strange that she is sharp and doesn't know how to be tactful, which has aroused the jealousy of many elders and disciples, so this time she ...... Alas, in the end, it is a person who stands too high and falls down and is crushed to pieces. β
Although the little Taoist priest didn't know anything, he also knew that this time he would not escape death, and his eyes were suddenly red, and he desperately wanted to push away the crowd and walk to the front, but he couldn't walk over, so he had to shout with a crying voice: "Senior Sister ...... Tilt Xu"
The man tied to the stake suddenly moved.
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then began to whisper again.
The head of the house glanced at the man, and when he saw that she did not react, he continued: "This woman has repeatedly violated the rules of the door, but she still does not repent, and now she is being burned at the stake, and her bones are scattered, so as to comfort the innocent lives of her hands." β
There was silence in the crowd again.
Then the man on the stake raised his head with difficulty, and his eyes swept around in disarray, as if he was looking for something. In the darkness, there was a little star-like sparkle in her hair, shimmering slightly. However, she was already physically exhausted, and her vision was blurred, and she only struggled for a moment before hanging her head again.
It's so dark at night.
Only the flames were so bright that they burned everyone's eyes.
A protΓ©gΓ© slowly approached the man with a torch.
"Execution!"
He woke up violently, panting like a dying fish.
This is not a dream.
It was something she had just experienced an hour ago.
Thinking of this, she was stunned for a long time, slowly sat up with a sigh of relief, her face was painful, and she was about to sigh, when suddenly a cold wind poured straight into her neck, which made her tremble into "sigh yo yo".
I couldn't help but look around, and found that I was in a dimly lit ruined temple, the roof without tiles was shining with shallow moonlight, the walls on all four sides were broken on three sides, and the remaining one had no door panels, leaving an empty door frame to reveal the night of the black hole outside. He clutched his blood-soaked robe and began to think in confusion.
Obviously he was already burned out in the fire, and it stands to reason that he should go to Naihe Bridge to report after a while, but why did he wake up in a broken temple?
Tempted for a while, he was not confused, because he was interrupted by a few "grunt" sounds.
It turned out that her spell was completely damaged, and the art of Bigu didn't work anymore.
There was a cramping pain in his abdomen, and when he gave up his previous thinking and began to think about whether to climb out and find something to fill his stomach, he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance. Tilt Xu suddenly became vigilant.
The sound came from the outside of the black hole. Someone's coming.
Could it be that someone from Qianyunguan has found it?
Looking around, there were broken bricks and moldy straw, and broken stone statues, and I really couldn't find anything to defend myself from.
Gritting his teeth, he limped behind the statue, leaning against the stone, holding his breath and listening intently to the movement outside.
A person walked in, his steps were unusually brisk, and he should have done a lot of light work. The man stopped in the middle of the ruined temple, put something on the ground with a bang, paused, and said, "If you are injured like this, you can still run?" β
The voice was low and soft, and it seemed to have a slight smile.
Tilt had never heard this voice before, and only hoped that he would leave quickly, and that he would not stay here to check carefully.
Unintentionally, his eyes swept over his feet, and his eyes froze, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
There was a man lying beside her, head at her feet, looking at her with an eerie smile in the moonlight.
Almost subconsciously, she slashed with her palm, and the moment her hand touched that person, the pain was incomparable, and she silently opened her mouth and screamed, and immediately retracted her hand.
Who the put this stone statue here!
The man in the temple seemed to hear the movement, took a few steps to this side, and said in a loud voice, "Who?" β
He raised his hands with difficulty, pinched his throat, and called vividly: "Meow-"
The man stopped and said with a smile: "In this kind of place, there are cats willing to come." β
She was silent for a while, listening to him before he left, and was about to learn another cat meow, when suddenly there was a rustling sound behind her, and she turned her head to see a large group of familiar mice running happily over the straw and broken bricks.
Tilt Xu's face suddenly changed greatly, and she took a few steps back to the point where she could not retreat, and when she was stiff and didn't know what to do, she was suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind her by a hand, and dragged her out from behind the stone statue with half arms and half arms.
The man said nonchalantly, "Wow, that's a big cat." β
Tilt: "......"
Pouring his attention, he slammed a backhand punch into the man's chin, who quickly avoided it, and then carefully hugged her firmly from behind, with a gentle movement that was not rude at all.
He was stunned for a moment and said, "Let go." β
The man didn't move.
He struggled twice, and then said, "Let go!" β
The man said: "Are you sure? β
"Otherwise." β
The man let go of her and took a step back.
"......??" β
The man said idly, "Mouse." β
When she looked back, she was horrified to find that the rats had run in front of her.
She hurriedly took two steps back, and the rats followed suit. The big rat in the lead stopped in front of her, sat and looked at her, with two small paws resting on his chest, and suddenly spoke: "Hello, Dao Chief." β
The rats in the back chimed in, "Hello. β
Tilt Xu's scalp was already numb, he was stunned when he heard this, looked at the big mouse, seemed not very convinced, squatted down and looked at it carefully for a long time, before he had an epiphany: "You ...... Didn't you come to trouble me this time? β
The voice of the big mouse was like that of a seven or eight-year-old boy, and he said childishly: "It turns out that the Taoist chief thinks so of me." It really makes me sad. β
A group of rats behind them said in unison: "It's so sad." β
Speechless: "It's obvious that you guys are too much, right?" Ever since my brother caught you from the small mountain village, you have been coming to me for revenge. Don't talk about the ten bitten robes, don't talk about the holes in the corner that have been repaired four times, last time I was sleeping, but suddenly the bed fell asleep, did you do it? β
The man behind him burst out laughing.
Ignoring him, he continued, "It's nothing good to see you every time, let's say, what are you going to do this time?" β
The big mouse waved his little paw solemnly and said, "We were justified in taking revenge before, but now we will write it off." Our rat clan has always had revenge and gratitude, and this time we came to repay our kindness. β
The group of rats in the back bowed and said, "Repay the favor." β
Poured out in surprise and said, "What kind of kindness?" β
The big rat said: "Last month, the two Taoist priests of Qianyun Temple came to kill us, and you stopped them at the last moment, right?" β
He was silent and didn't answer. But the man behind him spoke up: "Last month? Then you have repaid this kindness very early. β
The big mouse also seemed to feel embarrassed, scratched his ears with his little paws, and said: "Yesterday I met those two Taoist priests in the teahouse at the foot of the mountain, and I overheard them say, 'Although Yun Hengzi is famous all over the world, she is actually not a serious Taoist priest at all, and she has to stop us from killing a group of rat demons last month!'" 'I just found out that you saved us last time......"
"Wait!" It was the person behind him who interrupted, and he said in a tone of great surprise, "So you are Yun Hengzi?" β
Before he could answer, the big mouse asked him puzzledly, "Hey, didn't you know that she was Yun Hengzi when you saved her?" β
Shocked: "What?!" Did he save me? β
In the face of the shock, the man didn't say anything, suddenly turned around and walked away a few steps, and didn't know what to do in the dark. Tilt Xu was still in shock, and muttered, "So he didn't come to catch me?" β
The big mouse said: "I heard those two Taoist priests say that you will be burned at the stake tonight, originally we came to save you, but I happened to see that person carry you out of the flames with one hand, and then repelled the Taoist priests around with one hand, and fled here." β
"And then?" β
The big mouse said: "Then he put you unconscious here first and then went out, probably to find ointment and firewood or something." β
This is too different from what I thought before, and I was stunned, and I couldn't react for a while.
Suddenly, a blazing flame appeared in the darkness, so bright that she couldn't help but close her eyes, and when she opened her eyes after a while, the torch was already in front of her. Behind the blazing and bright flames was the man's face.
His face was like a natural jade, like a grinding, and it was hazy and soft in the firelight. The eyebrows are like distant mountains, like ink outlines, the lips are thin like water, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised. There is a faint sense of lightness in his expression, elegant and lively.
The most important thing is his eyes, those bright eyes are like the bubbling lake water in early spring, reflecting the vivid appearance, focused and gentle.
Qian Xu didn't know why he suddenly blushed a little, looked away and said, "I didn't know that it was Your Excellency who rescued me before, and I was so offended." β
The man's hand with the torch was raised back, and the torch landed firmly on a pile of wood behind him, and a bonfire was lit in an instant.
Seeing the flame, he remembered the previous burning, and his heart trembled a little, and he turned his head. The man thought she was shy, stepped forward and smiled: "Why, haven't you seen such a good-looking person as me?" β
"No, I've seen a lot of people who are better looking than you." β
Man: "......"
The big mouse suddenly covered its mouth with its small paws: "Ahem." β
The group of rats in the back covered their mouths and said, "Ahem, cough, cough." β
Tilt turned his head and said to the mice, "Thank you for your kindness today, I'm fine now anyway, so you don't have to worry too much." β
The big mouse looked at her and said seriously: "I can't forget the Dao Chief's life-saving grace, I didn't help the Dao Chief this time, if anything happens in the future, the Dao Chief only needs to report the name of my Rat King Mo Changchai, and all the mice will help you." In the future, we will not change the green water and say goodbye! β
A group of rats in the back clasped their fists and said, "Farewell!" β
After a while, the rats were quickly gone.
He shook his head, looked back at the man, and said with his fists clenched: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving me this time, I can't repay you in the future." β
The man said: "Since there is nothing to repay, why don't you make a promise with your body?" β
He paused and said with a smile: "Your Excellency knows that I am a Taoist priest, so naturally I can't make this joke." β
The man hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Doesn't Taoism also have double cultivation?" In the following name is the words of the words, the words of the words, the sparse of the dense. A person from the rivers and lakes, a little bit of strange magic, the family has not yet married a wife, there is no old and no young, it is suitable for marriage. β
A smile froze at the corners of his mouth.
Yan Shu took a step closer and said deliberately: "Why, Lord Yun Hengzi doesn't look down on my identity?" β
He waved his hand and said, "No, it's not ......."
Yan Shu said "oh" and said, "That's what you can see?" β
He waved his hand again: "It's not and it's not ......."
Yan Shu leaned over, put his face in front of her and said, "Is the Taoist chief marrying or not, am I marrying or not?" β
Growing up in the Taoist temple since childhood, how could he have seen such a brazen person, his face turned white with shock, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Yan Shu laughed, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Daoist Yun Hengzi really can't afford to joke, why is he scared like this?" Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. β
He laughed dryly: "Yes, yes." β
The two sat down around the fire, handed her a roll of bandages and a few steamed buns that they had found out of nowhere, and were busy eating and bandaging their wounds, and were speechless for a while.
After pouring Xu finished eating the steamed buns after wrapping up the injury, he was silent for a while, wanting to ask him why he wanted to save himself, but Yan Shu preemptively spoke: "Why did the Taoist save those rat demons?" You Taoists, haven't you always seen demons and eliminated them? β
For some reason, through the firelight, he faintly felt the coldness when Yan Shu said this. She pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I used to think that monsters in the world were born to do evil. But then I learned that it wasn't. β
Yan Shu glanced at her in surprise, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Daoist Yun Hengzi is really extraordinary from ordinary people. β
He lowered his eyes and said softly for a while: "There is no more cloud hengzi in the world." β
The fire crackled and burned, and by midnight, it was already dead.
