Following.

The sky was slightly bright, it was raining lightly, the streets were sparsely populated, and Chen Changan rushed back from outside with a stack of reeds on his back on the muddy road.

Walking to the corner of the street, Chen Changan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the thatched house.

The sobbing of a woman was heard in the house, which was gradually drowned out in the wind and rain, and then turned into a wailing and wailing. Chen Changan's heart twitched fiercely, and his face turned pale for a while. The woman inside was holding the man's body, and not long ago, the couple had a child!

In Penglai City, whoever gives birth to a child and can't afford to pay heavy taxes is often forcibly broken in by werewolves and snatched away the newborn baby, after all, the werewolf's favorite thing to eat is newborn baby meat.

Seeing this tragic scene, Chen Changan's eyes were red, but he was helpless, this kind of thing has become commonplace in Penglai City, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and they can only accept their fate.

Chen Changan gritted his teeth, his clenched fists were slightly hideous, and in the end, he could only leave with his head down.

When he returned to the small temple in the west of the city, Chen Changan looked at the small temple full of people again with a solemn face, and a bad premonition arose. Several guards of the Xie family looked solemn, standing at the gate of the temple with cold eyes, Xie Yu looked arrogant, and walked into the temple with a sneer on the corner of his mouth

In the temple, Du Lao burned incense expressionlessly. Chu Xiaonan didn't have that much patience, and said impatiently to Xie Yu: "What kind of strong wind is blowing today, and it blows Young Master Xie to our broken temple again? Young Master Xie, who is high above, usually doesn't even look at us dirty, why do you still want to dwell on yesterday's events?"

Chu Xiaonan narrowed his eyes, and there was a faint sarcasm in his words.

Xie Yu played with two walnuts in his hand, raised his eyebrows, he didn't get angry on the spot, his eyes stayed behind Du Lao for a short time, and sneered: ", Young Master Ben's temper is very bad, you'd better not try to challenge my bottom line." ”

When the guards saw that the young master did not show any movement, they did not move, and when their eyes looked at the girl again, they turned into pity.

", this is the funniest joke I've ever heard, the way of the world, dogs ......," the girl said without hesitation. Before the latter sentence could be spoken, it was interrupted by a cough from Du Lao, who said, "Xiao Nan, don't talk nonsense." ”

Xie Xuan's eyes stared at the girl like a hungry wolf, as if he could eat people. But Xie Shu restrained the emotions in his heart very well, his father said that he was not allowed to offend the old man in the small temple in the west of the city, if it weren't for his father's warning, with the girl's words, Xie Shu would have ordered someone to chop her up. He laughed angrily, and said coldly: "Very good, you have succeeded in making me feel sick, Young Master Ben can't do anything else, but the ability to torture people is okay." I've heard that the surname Chen treats you like a sister, and the surname Chen should be equally important in your heart......"

The girl was stunned and said coldly, "What do you mean?"

Xie Shu crushed the walnut in his hand, and laughed out loud: "All the flies that are noisy in front of me will not end well." Just like Chen Chang'an, I came here today to tell him that the ghost and demon queen above the demon city had taken a fancy to the words he wrote. When the queen was in retreat yesterday, she said that within a year, she needed to devote herself to refining the magic weapon of the ghost lamp, and when she came out, she ordered me to take Chen Changan to see her, haha...... I can now imagine that kind of scene, Chen Changan licked the queen's leather shoes like a dog in order to live, the kind of life that is not even as good as a dog. Ha ha...... Hahaha......"

Xie laughed maniacally.

When Du Lao heard this, the movement of burning incense in his hand was stagnant, and if someone stood in front of him, he would see the old man's hand trembling slightly.

Chu Xiaonan's heart tightened, she almost couldn't stand steadily, the sudden news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, inadvertently, her eyes passed through the crowd, and stayed on Chen Changan with a broken hat, her heart twitched suddenly, and her face turned pale in an instant.

As a party concerned, Chen Changan was stunned like a thunderbolt, and muttered and repeated, "Ghost Shadow Demon ...... Queen......"

She is an extremely terrifying and cruel banshee, she is simply a living demon, and her reputation is a terrible ghost from hell for people living in Penglai City.

A few years ago, in order to sacrifice the magic weapon of the ghost lamp, the ghost shadow demon queen brought thousands of men to the demon city and sacrificed blood by cruel means. Extracting their souls, it burned for forty-nine days, and at that time, hellish ghosts and wolves often howled from the demon city......

Her evil deeds are terrifying in Penglai City, the ghost shadow demon nature likes to suck the essence of human beings, over the years, the ghost shadow demon queen has absorbed the vitality of countless young men, I heard that there are more than a thousand skeleton soldiers in her palace, that is after she sucked the essence of young men, refined into skeleton soldiers.

Her various evil deeds, in Penglai City, as long as she talks about her name, it will give people goosebumps, if any child cries in the middle of the night, as long as she says the ghost and demon queen, she will be able to scare the child to stop crying.

When one after another turned his gaze to the boy in the rain, either with surprise, or pity, and a hint of schadenfreude, all kinds of surprised eyes stayed on him.

Chen Changan raised his head slowly, his pupils were scarlet, although his face was expressionless, there were already monstrous waves in his heart, if anyone could see the trembling figure, they would definitely see the ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Chang'an, come in, don't catch the cold. Du Lao said.

Chen Changan put the reed under the corner of the wall, untied the hat, and walked into the temple under everyone's eyes. When he passed by Xie Yan's side, he didn't even look at it, and then said to Chu Xiaonan: "Xiao Nan, when the weather is good, I will dry the reeds and make you a pair of beautiful straw sandals." ”

Chu Xiaonan's heart was sour, and his eyes were red.

Xie Yu hated the feeling of being ignored, especially Chen Changan's expression, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, why could he be calm? Only he is different, giving people the feeling that even if the mountains collapse in front of them, they can be as if nothing happened.

"Hehe, surnamed Chen, you still have a year to live, cherish it, don't try to escape, within this year, I will monitor you well." Xie sneered.

Chen Changan didn't turn around, his back was to Xie Xuan, and he suddenly roared. "Get out!"

The young man's roar almost made the audience explode, who would dare to roar at the young master of the Xie family in Penglai City?

Several guards were furious, drew their swords one after another, and made a gesture to kill this unknown young man.

"Tell you to get out, didn't you hear?" said Du Lao indifferently.

Xie Shu gritted his teeth, threw the walnut in his hand to the ground, then crushed it, and pointed at Chen Changan, "Leave your dog alive for the time being, after a year, I see if you can still be so arrogant." ”

After a short time, Xie Yu left with a few guards, and the onlookers left one after another.

Chen Changan went to change his clothes.

Only Chu Xiaonan and Du Lao stayed in the temple.

"Du Lao, it seems that Penglai City can't continue to stay. Chu Xiaonan said quietly.

"You want to kill Xie Xuan?"

"I do want to kill him if you allow me. Just now I really couldn't help it, even if I fled again, it would be a hundred times better than being angry here. Chu Xiaonan said angrily.

"Last time, it was because of your willfulness that we were forced to flee. Du Lao glared and said, "Yongzhou has become the world of the demon clan, and I can't help myself! After all, to me, your life is the most important thing." In fact, Chang'an is not as simple as it seems, at his age, he has such a strong courage and mind, it is really not simple, sometimes even I can't see through. ”

Du Lao remembered the scene when he first met Chen Changan five years ago. At that time, there was a small town outside Penglai City, and because there were books hidden in the town and some monks lurking in it, it was brutally bloodbathed by werewolves.

That night, Du Lao took Chu Mengnan through the town, and saw the burning town, in Du Lao's opinion, there could be no survivors, and it happened that at that time, there was a young man wearing a wet quilt, step by step, and miraculously came out alive.

Du Lao was very surprised, how could there be survivors in a town that was bloodbathed by werewolves? Moreover, it was a fifteen-year-old boy, how did he escape the clutches of werewolves and survive?

A fifteen-year-old boy who knew that under the thick smoke, he covered himself with a wet quilt and waited until the werewolf had withdrawn before he was willing to escape from the fire.

In the temple.

Chen Changan changed into clean clothes, looked at the mirror for a long time, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Suddenly, he slammed the table and smashed the mirror with a punch.

"Thank you, one day, I will ask you to pay back more. ”

The broken mirror cut Chen Changan's hand, but Chen Changan couldn't feel the pain.

Inadvertently, Chen Changan saw the face reflected in the mirror fragments, which were a pair of unfamiliar eyes. Just when Chen Changan thought it was an illusion, the broken lens condensed on its own, and in a short period of time, a mirror that was intact suspended in front of Chen Changan, and he was extremely strange in the mirror.

Those eyes gave people a deep sense of fear.

"Looks like you need my help, little one. The man in the mirror said to Chen Chang'an.

Chen Changan was startled, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he pointed to the mirror tremblingly: "Who are you a demon and a monster?"

"Haha, you're the first person to dare to say that this seat is a monster. The man in the mirror laughed, "You see, I am not a demon or a monster, but your shadow." ”

After finishing speaking, the person in the mirror suddenly disappeared, and then Chen Changan was surprised to find that his own shadow gradually appeared on the ground, and it began to stand up, but it had more than enough strength to stand up, and when it was halfway up, it fell down with a bang.

My shadow?

Chen Changan was incredulous.

The face resurfaced in the mirror, and he said helplessly: "You can also see that I am too weak to even stand up." ”

Rao is Chen Changan's concentration is strong enough, and he was also frightened, and he said after a long time: "Why have you become my shadow?"

"I just woke up, my memory is too bad, I only remember that I fell, but there is a power in the dark to guide my soul, I woke up again in a daze, and I became your shadow. Thanks to you for nourishing my soul with the Heaven and Earth Vitality over the years, otherwise I don't know how many years it would take to wake up. The shadow said indifferently.

Chen Changan was splashed with a basin of cold water on his body, and he was stunned for a few minutes, and at this moment, he finally understood.

"It's no wonder that I have been able to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi over the years, but I can't cultivate, and it turns out that I have been absorbed by you. ”

"Holy. Chen Changan was furious and swung his fist at the person in the mirror. The emotions that have been pent up for many years, and the anger in my heart erupts like a volcano.

However, this punch did not hit the mirror, Chen Changan gradually calmed down, so many years of experience, his own determination, binding force is incomparable to ordinary people.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Chen Changan took a deep breath and said, "How can you help me?"

"I know your situation very well, it will take a year for the Ghost Shadow Demon Queen to refine the magic weapon of the Ghost Lamp, for the time being, you are still safe, within this year, I will help you cultivate and make you strong enough." The shadow said calmly.

"You help me cultivate, do you have top-level spells?" Chen Changan asked excitedly.

"I am a dragon, once the noblest race in the world, and I can teach you the supreme secret arts?" said the shadow proudly.
