Zhang Tong stood on the roof of the building, his tall body as motionless as a stone tower, allowing the strong night wind in the early winter of northern Jiangsu to blow the military coat to the sound of hunting. Darkness embraced the whole world, and the vast forest sea outside the base rose and fell in the gloom, like a gathering of countless monsters, and the wind blew through the treetops and screamed like a ghost, adding to the horror of the night.

However, Zhang Tong didn't care about this, he just stood quietly, waiting for an old friend he hadn't seen for decades.

A flash of white light flashed in the distance, and Zhang Tong caught it in an instant. In just a few breaths, a figure had arrived in front of him, and it turned out to be a white-faced and beardless young Taoist priest, stepping on a flying sword with cold light.

The Taoist priest landed in a dashing manner, and with a slight move of his hand, the sword flew into the sword bag behind his back on its own.

Zhang Tong looked at the Taoist priest and said jokingly: "The old cow has a nose, and he is still pretending to be tender?" ”

"You don't understand, the beautiful girls now eat cream babies." The Taoist priest retorted, at this time he saw the epaulettes on Zhang Tong's military uniform, and said with a smile, "Yo ho, okay!" There is one Venus, all of them are major generals. ”

Zhang Tong smiled slightly, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to the Taoist priest, and lit it himself with a match, and two red dots lit up in the dark. The Taoist priest took a deep breath, the cigarette immediately became a big shortener, he held his breath to let the smoke fully soak his lungs, and only after a few days did he slowly spew it out, shaking his head comfortably and smiling: "I have been thinking about this treasure for decades!" How do you say that, a cigarette after a meal, a race over a living immortal. ”

Both of them laughed out loud at these words and shook hands vigorously.

"I haven't seen you in over forty years, right?"

"Yes, there are no years in the mountains, close your eyes and open them again, a jiazi is almost over." The Taoist priest sighed lightly, "I miss the days when we fought side by side to fight devils!" ”

This sentence opened up the dusty memory, and more than ten years of war were all their eventful years.

A meteor pierced the sky, cutting the pre-dawn darkness in half, and the two stopped chatting and looked up in unison. The number of meteors in the sky began to increase, and after a while, the sky was covered with thin white lines, and the scene was particularly spectacular.

"That's what you're here for, aren't you?" Zhang Tong broke the silence.

The Taoist priest stared at the meteor shower intently, and replied: "There shouldn't be this meteor shower, the star map was a mess, I calculated a hexagram when I came, the hexagram is chaotic, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, I only know that the cause and effect of this reincarnation will be fulfilled in this Zhuolu land, so I specially rushed over to take a look." ”

"When the stars first started to get messy, I was waiting for this meteor shower." Zhang Tongdao, "The stars are not trivial, let's wait and see." ”

As he spoke, an unusually dazzling red meteor broke through the meteor cluster and appeared in the field of vision of the two, followed by another, and another! Three red meteors, in the shape of a pint, glide slowly in the night sky.

The two were shocked, and the three stars descended at the same time, which no one expected. The Taoist priest recited a mantra in a low voice, sealed his hands, shouted "swoop", his eyes were full of green energy, and two blue lights shot straight into the night sky.

"Kui wood wolf in the west, fire monkey in the west, and golden dragon in the east. Fortunately, it's not a demon star..."The Taoist priest finally saw the three mortal stars clearly, but people still couldn't relax, "Three stars are in the world, auspicious and unpredictable, and the fate of countless people will change because of them, I'm worried, I'm afraid that this peaceful world is..."

"The world can only be fought for by itself." Zhang Tong interrupted the Taoist priest's words, with a domineering spirit in his words, and the momentum of the whole person was as sharp as a blade, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while." Even if it's really a demon star, how did it come about, just give me how to go back! ”

"Hehehehe, Lord Man, Chunyangzi, good evening."

Both turned their heads at the same time, looking at the person who was speaking. Behind them stood an old man with white hair and a slender figure, but with an innocent smile like a child on his face, and his eyes behind his glasses shining with wisdom.

Zhang Tong retracted his momentum, bowed slightly to the old man, and said solemnly: "Sure enough, my blinding method is ineffective for Old Man Li." ”

The Taoist priest also regained his relaxed and freehand demeanor, bowed to the old man, and greeted him with a smile: "Forty years have passed, and Uncle Li's face is still full of peach blossoms, and his demeanor has not diminished at all~!" ”

"The little Taoist priest is still so naughty." The old man didn't think it was wrong, and after greeting the two with a smile, he also began to stare at the three big stars.

The meteor shower gradually stopped, and only sparse star debris remained in the sky. One of the big stars flew to the east and landed behind the horizon first, while the other two turned to the west and disappeared from the field of view of the three of them in a short time.

"I wonder what the old man said about this meteor shower?" Zhang Tong asked.

The old man still smiled and said, "I don't know much about the myths and legends of your Chinese people, but I have a hunch that these three stars will bring extraordinary surprises to the world." Seeing what the two of them wanted to say, he quickly stopped, "Enough talking, I'm an observer, not a prophet, what do you keep asking me for." With that, he waved his hand and went downstairs to leave.

Zhang Tong and the Taoist priest looked at each other, and they both saw a light of relief in each other's eyes. They had known this mysterious old man decades ago, but they couldn't tell what kind of existence this old man Li was. He may appear anywhere, just to witness the changes in this world, he comes and goes without a trace, and all the laws and laws of this world are not valid for him.

"Well, Lao Li Tou said so, I still have something to worry about." The Taoist priest said to Zhang Tong, "Besides, with you guarding this country with ~big~ people, why am I doing so much in vain!" ”

Zhang Tong restrained his smile, walked to the fence, looked down at the military base at his feet, and said lightly: "The name of Lord Man, I will not mention it again in the future." ”

The Taoist priest still looked at Zhang Tong, his eyes reflecting the starry sky, equally dazzling.

Zhang Tong snorted lightly and lit a cigarette to himself, "Over the years, there have been strange visions in various places, and this time the three stars of the astral chaos went down to earth at the same time, and they must have come here to meet the catastrophe." What you may not know is that the number of paranormal people worldwide has been increasing exponentially every year for nearly 100 years. Therefore, what you just said is not entirely correct, this is not a disaster for our country, but a catastrophe that may affect the whole world and even the entire universe!

... I once promised him that I would stand for him for a hundred years, before that, there was only the iron general Zhang Tong in the world, and there was no Manchurian adult. ”

The Taoist priest sneered, and then said with a hippie smile: "Interesting! There are actually people who can subdue the unruly son of the wolf~~ Hey, I said, we have such a good relationship, can you also help me guard the cave, now people who travel really dare to go anywhere! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, who can enter your secret realm."

The two laughed and scolded for a while, and when they saw that the vision of the sky was all gone, the Taoist priest said goodbye to Zhang Tong, he came with a lot of excitement, and returned with a sword, one person and one sword rushed to the sky in the night sky, and it was far away in just a moment.

Zhang Tong smiled slightly, stepped on the cigarette butt, and turned to leave. Behind him, the light on the horizon grew brighter and brighter.

A round of red sun jumped out, and in an instant, the vast land was dyed with extraordinary distinction.

......

Twenty-seven years later

......

Chinese New Year's Eve is the most lively day of the year, no matter whether the family is rich or poor, on this day, there will be lights to celebrate the Spring Festival. Everyone had a smile on their faces, they congratulated each other, children laughed and played in the streets, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance.

When it's time for Chinese New Year's Eve, adults bring their children home, close the door, and enjoy their own warm moments. Outside gradually quieted down, but the festive atmosphere grew stronger.

He just stood in front of the window, looking at the night scene outside, and the fireworks rising in the distance reflected his eyes, but they couldn't illuminate his hidden figure in the dark room. No festival belongs to him, but he has been alone for many years, and he has long been used to it, and every day is the same for him, going to work - getting off work - practicing - sleeping.

After watching the night scene for a while, he closed the curtains and stripped off his clothes, revealing his cheetah-like body. If an outsider sees it, they will be surprised that this thin-looking young man in front of him has a well-proportioned and strong muscle. His legs were crossed and his knees were folded, the soles of his feet were upward, his arms were naturally drooping, and he was silently reciting the inner strength in his heart, and after a while, his consciousness slowly sank, and his five senses gradually disappeared. At this time, he is the only one in the entire void, there is no heaven and no earth, no east and no west, no self and no other.

The dantian under the umbilicus began to heat up, and he felt the familiar heat flow gradually surging, so he used his mind to control it to move between the limbs and bones around his body, and the place he passed was as comfortable as being scalded by hot water, and the acupuncture points were unobstructed and the pores were wide open. It didn't take long for his whole body to be steaming.

There was a strange tattoo on his back, like a dragon and a tiger, simple and mysterious, at this time the golden light was in full bloom, and a trace of energy erupted from it, flowing slowly around the youth, reflecting his whole person like a golden statue. Although he was the only one in the room, there seemed to be countless monks chanting in low voices, and the Sanskrit sound was indescribably solemn.

Four hours passed quickly, only to hear the young man's low shout, and the energy released from the outside exploded into a room full of golden rays, and then was sucked back into the body through the tattoo like a long rainbow. The moment he opened his eyes, two rays of brilliant light burst out, which could be breathtaking, and with two blinks of his eyes, the essence of light disappeared.

He glanced at the clock on the wall, it was 0 o'clock in a few minutes, and his body was very dirty after every practice, so he had to take a shower and go to bed quickly, and he wanted to go to pay respects to his deceased grandparents early tomorrow morning. Thinking of this, he rolled over and got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

At this moment, a loud "boom" came from the window, and then the roar came one after another, and the whole city was submerged in a sea of fireworks, and you could see the brilliant light outside through the curtains.

2015 has arrived.

For him, it was just a so-called festival that had passed, and the lonely days would continue in the future.

Little did he know that in this very year, his life would be turned upside down.
