Chapter 35: The monster is amiable, and the old man is suspicious
"Is what I just saw real?" Zhang Xiaoxian looked up at all this in disbelief.
But then the monster let out a wild roar, which made the mountain here tremble, and the tree in front of him trembled even more, and even some branches with the big mouth of the bowl were shattered and smashed down.
Zhang Xiaoxian sensed the danger, and suddenly jumped away from the body hiding under the tree.
He had just stood still, not to, when a sharp cry piercing the sky was heard in mid-air, which was the voice of a big bird in a life-and-death struggle with a monster.
This voice almost burst Zhang Xiaoxian's eardrums.
At this time, the mountains were shining for a while, and in the middle of this incomparably dark mountain, it was actually a piece of snow illuminating, Zhang Xiaoxian was shocked, looked up and looked closely, but saw that the huge bird, at this time the body was actually covered with ten thousand rays of light.
Seeing this, the monster hidden in the black fog did not flinch, but sprang up again, slammed sideways, and flicked the five long whip-like tails behind it, and struck in succession in the direction of the glow.
Seeing this, the big bird flew high into the air again.
The tail of the monster did not touch it, but it landed on the trunk of the tree in the forest one after another, and the ancient tree, which had experienced an unknown number of years of wind and rain, fell down one after another after being struck, and one of them was broken by the waist.
Just as the monster was trying to chase the light again, suddenly a very fast, multicolored light struck at the monster's body.
The monster was hit hard in the tail and let out a loud roar.
Immediately, it was about to jump up again to attack its opponent, but at this moment, an old but majestic cry came from nowhere: "Stop, evil obstacle!"
With this reprimand, the battle between the two hovering in mid-air, hidden between a black mist and colorful clouds, suddenly stopped and landed on the mountain rocks.
"Evil beast, you have repeatedly run from the back mountain to get into trouble, and now, you are still fighting with Bend, it seems that you will not be able to get rid of the demonic energy on your body without some punishment. ”
At this point, a sudden wind blew and went directly towards the monster, although the monster was not much frightened, it was still very unconvinced.
But the strange thing is that in the blink of an eye, its huge body turned into the size of a wild cat, if it weren't for the long tail with as many as five behind it and the horns on its head, Zhang Xiaoxian really couldn't believe that the little guy in front of him who looked very cute was the fierce monster of Fang Cai.
"Hum ......" retracted his huge body at this time, and the guy who had already turned into a little stupid bird let out an incredible cold snort like a human.
"Bend, you have just formed a form, and you have to practice more to consolidate your own skills, and from time to time you are here to fight with this evil obstacle, what is the reason!" the mysterious voice sounded above their heads again.
The little stupid bird, which was called the crooked, raised his little head a little unconvinced, and said a lot in one of the directions, and was finally stopped.
"There is a visitor, you haven't noticed it yet, or don't argue about anything, go to the back mountain and think about it, otherwise don't blame me for putting you in the regeneration furnace......"
The two guys, who had changed from huge birds of prey to wild cats and stupid birds, did not dare to make another attempt when they heard the mysterious man say this, and jumped to leave.
Unexpectedly, the monster, which had already become smaller in size, suddenly sniffed hard, as if it smelled something, and suddenly became excited.
It turned its body quickly, sniffing vigorously for something, and then paused for a moment, and actually came towards the trunk of the tree where Zhang Xiaoxian was evading.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxian had already understood that his whereabouts had been exposed, so he no longer dodged, strode out from behind the trunk, and stood straight in front of the two strange guys.
When the little stupid bird saw that there was a stranger, he snorted twice in displeasure, and there was no other expression.
On the contrary, this monster, when he first saw Zhang Xiaoxian, he was stunned, and then stared at him step by step, raised his head and sniffed Zhang Xiaoxian's body.
looked like he had to sniff out something, but then it seemed that there was no result, as if he was confused, he squatted down and looked at Zhang Xiaoxian in a daze.
"Let's go, go where you need to go......" With that mysterious old voice, the monster and the little stupid bird disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Such a dazzling scene made Zhang Xiaoxian dumbfounded, he went up to the Nameless Mountain again today, and encountered too many magical things, and he couldn't explain these things by his own understanding alone, so he fell silent.
The two guys who fought for a long time, and finally turned from giant monsters into wild cats and stupid birds, suddenly disappeared, and the mysterious voice did not sound again.
It seems that although the man saw the existence of a strange boy, he was not interested, so he ignored Zhang Xiao's idleness.
I don't know why Zhang Xiaoxian felt a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe......
From this time on, Zhang Xiaoxian did not climb up again, and he finally knew why there were no wild beasts and birds on this nameless mountain.
Judging by the ferocity of those two big guys just now, there really is no possibility of survival for any creature on this mountain except for trees and stones.
In this way, it makes no sense to force yourself up the mountain.
With a little regret, with the surprise of the bizarre and shocking battle he saw by chance, Zhang Xiaoxian turned around and walked down the mountain.
The cool breeze in the forest, the towering trees are shady, Zhang Xiaoxian has been in a reverie all the way, and unconsciously has come to the only path up the mountain.
When he arrived here, Zhang Xiaoxian knew in his heart that he should not be far from the foot of the mountain.
After another journey, Zhang Xiaoxian was busy bowing his head and hurrying, thinking that it was gradually getting afternoon, and it was best for him to rush back to the small calligraphy and painting shop on Changxi Street before dark, where Zhang Linzi was still waiting for him.
"Young man, are you finally back intact?" the little old man thought that something had happened to you!" An old man's voice suddenly came.
Zhang Xiaoxian looked up, he couldn't help but smile at this look, this old man was the one who stopped him with kind words when he first went up the mountain.
"Old man, are you still here?" Zhang Xiaoxian said aloud, but he frowned again: "What did you say that something happened to me?
The old man paused: "Didn't you go to the mountains and meet monsters......
Zhang Xiaoxian listened, but nodded honestly: "There is a monster, but it didn't eat me!"
He then remembered the strange monster again, and when he saw himself, he looked at him with a fluttering look, and then laughed.
When the old man heard that the young man had obviously encountered a monster on the mountain this time, he didn't see any fear in his expression, and he even laughed.
I couldn't help but raise my hand and stroke the long white hair under my chin, and asked: "This is strange, in the past, every time the little old man met the people who did not listen to persuasion and stubbornly went up the mountain, there was no one like you who saw a terrible monster, and the expression of the person who was not frightened changed greatly, but the young you, only different, could it be that you have something to do with that monster, so you have never been afraid of it?"
After the old man's question, Zhang Xiaoxian was also inexplicably a little puzzled in his heart, remembering that when he first saw the terrifying beast, the feeling of unusual closeness he had was indeed a little unusual.
But the monster he really didn't know, and it was impossible for him to have anything to do with it.
"Old man, you are really good at joking, Xiao Xian is an outsider who has just arrived in the capital for a short time, how can he have anything to do with the monsters here, it's just that it looks a little new. ”
When the old man heard this, he carefully looked at Zhang Xiaoxian from beginning to end again, then shook his head slightly, and then changed the topic and said, "Young man, you should feel a little tired when you come down from the mountain, you might as well go to my grass house to rest for a while." ”
"This ...... Okay!" Zhang Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment, then calmly responded.
When the old man heard this, he was very happy, so he took Zhang Xiaoxian to a small grass house not far away, in a mountain forest clearing.
The grass house is very simple, the tea stove is incense, the book is fragrant and ink, but it is elegant.
The old man put Zhang Xiaoxian on the low couch on the side, handed him a cup of tea that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, watched him raise his head and drink it, and nodded with a smile.
So the old and the young chatted casually.
At the beginning, he was still talking about what kind of monster was on the mountain, and when he heard the old man say that it seemed to be called the Heavenly Monster, Zhang Xiaoxian suddenly felt that this thing seemed to be heard somewhere, and it seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
His expression, naturally, did not hide the old man's deep gaze, seeing this, the old man couldn't help but shake his head, and then his eyes flashed with a slight strangeness.
The topic of monsters was very short, and no one mentioned it again.
Because Zhang Xiaoxian knew that the thing had been transformed into a wild cat-like thing, and if it was imprisoned, it would probably not be encountered in the mountains in the future, so he didn't think about it.
The old man was silent for a while, and then asked about Zhang Xiaoxian's background and when he came to Lin'an City.
Zhang Xiaoxian did not shy away from it, so he told his origins, and finally said: "Originally, I just came to join my relatives, who knew that the family was a family that would hate the poor and love the rich, and seeing that our two brothers had no money, and there was a lot of burden, so they also drove us out......"
"Hey, the things of the world, due to fate, you can't enter the Zhumen Xiuhu, maybe relying on your own ability, you will be not bad!"
"This old man is right...... Zhang Xiaoxian said very approvingly after hearing this: "Even if we two brothers don't recognize that relative, we still don't earn enough silver!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoxian turned his head to look at the old man's slightly shabby grass house, frowned and said: "Old man, you are alone here, it must be very weekdays, so let's do it, since you kindly reminded me that there is danger on the mountain, and left me to drink tea when I went down the mountain, you are very kind to Xiaoxian, so in order to repay you for what you have done, I will bring you some silver tomorrow, even if it is just to let you buy some good tea to entertain your guests!"
