Smack...... Thundered!

Dark clouds obscured the sky, making the night come early. Mortals, who had been busy all day, hurried home, closed the doors and closed the windows, and took shelter from this terrible thunderstorm. In the distant sky, lightning tore through the void, reflecting the outline of the entire mountain range in people's hearts.

Such a frightening night, the vast, silent mountains, like a sleeping beast. In this extremely brilliant thunder, you can only see a corner of it. The heart of a mortal, throbbing with the thunder. The thunder in the sky could not wake up this ancient mountain range that had been sleeping for thousands of years.

Thunder roared, stratus clouds gathered, and heavy rain fell on every corner of the mountain. In the distance, under a lonely peak, there is a group of people facing each other in the face of thunderstorms. Many forces gather here, but they are in their own camps, and they are wary of each other.

The royal family of the four kingdoms of Dongzhou, the monks of Xichuan Xiaoleiyin Temple, as well as the Taoist monks from Sanqing, Zixiao and the Daomen of Creation, and the mysterious ancient inheritance from the Holy Emperor Peak and the Ethereal Peak. Such bad weather has attracted the most powerful forces in the entire Eastern Territory, and earth-shattering events are bound to happen!

Suddenly, lightning flashed, stinging eyes. Immediately afterward, there were several thunderstorms, shaking the void and causing the mountains to shake. After a moment, there was silence again. There was a glimmer of light in the heavens. Everyone looked up and saw a few leaves shimmering with crystal light slowly falling from the lonely peak.

At this time, I don't know who let out an exclamation: "Lonely Immortal Tea!"

In an instant, all directions moved. The monks offered their magic weapons and collected tea leaves. An old monk shouted the Buddha's name and offered a golden bowl. Another veteran shouted and offered a bronze treasure furnace. On the other side, a friar also offered a purple gourd......

High in the sky, a total of seven pieces of light fell, but dozens of treasure lights flew up. Everyone has their own minds and fights hard. Some people are happy, and some are secretly anxious. That's when something happened. Suddenly, a miserable green poisonous mist erupted from the ground and enveloped everyone. Some people avoided it, inhaled it into their bodies, and suddenly became cold and unable to move.

"It's corpse poison, everyone be careful, there is a demon in the dark!"

Someone shouted, but it was too late. One by one, the pale ghost hands broke through the ground and grabbed everyone's legs. The shadows in the jungle flickered, and in an instant, a group of corpse demons pounced out, biting people when they saw them. Several strong men hurriedly sealed the meridians, avoided the ghost claws, and were about to launch a counterattack.

Roar!

Two more corpse demons came from afar, and in an instant they came closer. Several strong men were hit before they could react, and in an instant, they only felt a sharp pain in their necks and necks, and blood was splattering. This change came too quickly, and in a panic, only one person was heard to say angrily: "It's the Ancient Corpse King, quickly withdraw!"

Everyone is afraid, but nothing is done. Seeing that the general trend was gone, several monks led by them did not dare to fight to the death, and even their disciples could not take care of them, so they fled away with serious injuries. The rest of the people were even more panicked when they saw this scene, some drew their swords and killed themselves, some fought back desperately, and some killed each other.

In any case, it only exacerbates the deaths. The two primeval corpse kings did not pursue, but just took the Lone Immortal Tea and quietly retreated. The rest of the monks were devoured by the group of corpses. Soon after, the corpse demon also retreated. Beneath the lonely peak, a bloody soil.

............

Dagu Mountain is extremely majestic and majestic, and the whole mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles from south to north, and is more than 1,000 zhang high. In this mountain range, there is a waterfall that rushes straight down from the mountainside and flows out of the mountain to form a large river called Gushui. The water flows along the mountain range, winding eastward. On the waterfront, there is a small town with a radius of more than ten miles, called Guxian Town.

There are more than 100 families in Guxian Town, who have lived here for generations. The years are the most ruthless, but these more than 100 families are also up and down in this long time. Some people are in the middle of the road, and some people are extremely wealthy. Some people sit in the palace, and naturally there are people living on the streets.

Chen Xiaoyi and Acropolis are the latter.

Both were orphans and had been living on the streets since childhood. Chen Xiaoyi is thin, skinny, and silent since he was a child, and he never spoke even when he was bullied. The Acropolis is stout, with an extraordinary physique. Despite his thin physique, he has a lot of strength. On weekdays, he also relies on him to maintain the thin Chen Xiaoyi.

The two lived in a dilapidated temple in the south of the town on weekdays, and each shared the begging food. Sometimes he couldn't get a little food for most of the day, so Chen Xiaoyi could only return to the broken temple and lie in the corner starving. At such times, the Acropolis would go out into the streets alone, stealing or robbing to get food. Chen Xiaoyi always ate the food with tears in his eyes, looking at the acropolis covered in scars, but he blamed himself for being too incompetent.

It can be said that Chen Xiaoyi is the big one pulled by the Acropolis. For Chen Xiaoyi, the Acropolis is like a brother and a father.

The rainstorm on this day came very quickly, and Acropolis and Chen Xiaoyi took advantage of the chaos to steal a few buns and fled back to the broken temple. At this time, Chen Xiaoyi had grown to the age of fifteen, and this was the first time he had stolen something. Thinking of Fang Cai's panic and trembling, Chen Xiaoyi had a little more admiration for the Acropolis in his heart.

In the past few years, in order to survive, the Acropolis has done many such things. Many times he came home with a broken head and bleeding, but he still smiled and gave him food.

Bang......

The thunder outside became more and more alarming, and the two of them had long been accustomed to such cold darkness. I swallowed a few buns with the occasional thunder, and then leaned against the corner and looked out the window. There was something strange about the thunder tonight, and it was coming from the same direction several times. This thunder was very messy and rapid, as if it was the wrath of the Nine Heavens Thunder God.

Although these two men were thin, their ears were extremely spiritual. This ability to hear and distinguish is much better than other children of the same age. The children of other families may have been hiding in their mother's arms at this time, but they are not afraid of it. The thunder was still so chaotic that they had gradually fallen asleep.

In the middle of the night, the torrential rain stopped, the thunder disappeared, and the whole world was extremely dark. Outside, rainwater was still flowing down the eaves, dripping onto the bluestone slabs, making a ticking sound. The two of them curled up in the corner, wrapped in a thin quilt, woke up one after another.

The night came so early that they slept so early that they woke up before dawn. Suddenly, my stomach rumbled. Chen Xiaoyi touched his belly and buried his head in the thin quilt in shame. Even in the dark night, where he couldn't see his fingers, it was difficult to hide his heart.

At this time, Acropolis stretched out his big hand and touched the back of his head as a sign of comfort. Chen Xiaoyi chuckled shyly a few times, and then leaned his body towards the Acropolis.

Bang!

Suddenly, the temple door was slammed open. A black yin stumbled in. The two stared at the dark shadow and took a cool breath, and broke out in a cold sweat. I saw that the black shadow was floating in vain, and he staggered to the front of the idol, and fell to the ground at once, and never moved again.

The two of them shrank in the corner and didn't dare to move, and Chen Xiaoyi even tightened the thin quilt and trembled. Soon, a smell of blood spread in the ruined temple, Chen Xiaoyi pinched the thin quilt, blocked his face, and only showed a pair of eyes, staring at the figure in the dark.

Suddenly, Acropolis felt Chen Xiaoyi's body freeze. Just when he wanted to grab Chen Xiaoyi's arm to comfort him, he felt a chill. Chen Xiaoyi actually lifted the thin quilt and rushed towards the man on the ground. Acropolis exclaimed: "Xiao Yi!"

I wanted to hold him, but I caught him.

The acropolis was immediately stunned, he didn't expect Chen Xiaoyi, who was usually silent and cowardly, to have such courage. At this time, no longer caring about anything else, the Acropolis hurriedly got out of the thin quilt and followed. He was very worried about Chen Xiaoyi, afraid that he would be injured by that person.

If a wounded beast is approached easily, the other party is likely to regard those who approach as mortal enemies and fight back desperately. The same is true of people sometimes, and the wounded are like wild beasts, easily unable to come near. In case the other party desperately attacks, let the two children of them have no power to resist.

Although the Acropolis is young, it is older and more stable than Chen Xiaoyi. Fortunately, there were no accidents, and when the Acropolis approached, it was found that the man had passed out. The two of them are like fish in water in such an environment, even in such a dark environment, they can barely see the situation clearly.

The man lay motionless on the ground, blood pouring from his neck and through his clothes. The eyes were blurry, and the wound could not be seen clearly. Chen Xiaoyi was trying his best to turn the man over, but he lacked strength and could not move a bit.

The Acropolis hurriedly took a hand, and the two quickly turned the man over. Then, Chen Xiaoyi brushed away the messy hair around his neck with his hand, wanting to see the wound. The Acropolis fumbled around the man, and soon found the fire fold.

The flames flared up, and the two finally saw the wounds. On the left side of the man's neck, there was a tooth mark that looked like it had been bitten by a wild animal. The tooth mark was not big or small, but I didn't know what it was bitten by. By this time, the bleeding had stopped, and the wound had scabbed, but the blood had stained half of his neck red.

At this time, the two of them saw the appearance of the man clearly, and it turned out to be an old man. This old Taoist wore a gray and black robe, his beard was gray, but his face was wrinkled, and he wore a boat-like Taoist crown on his head. This old man obviously lost too much blood, his face was pale, and he looked like a dead man.

The two of them tried their best to drag the old road to the corner of the wall and wrap it in a thin quilt. At this time, there was still some time before dawn. The two exchanged glances, then found hay in the ruined temple, found some rotten tables and chairs, and lit a fire.

The hay is flammable, but it is not burned, and the rotten tables and chairs, although they are resistant to burning, are not easy to ignite. The two tossed and turned for a while before the fire was lit, and they leaned against the wall until dawn.

A ray of morning light entered the ruined temple, and the two of them went to the corner of the wall to carefully inspect it. The old man was still breathing faintly, and he didn't die.

At this moment, the Acropolis also felt empty in his stomach, and his hunger was unbearable. Chen Xiaoyi proposed to go out and beg for some food, but Acropolis lifted the thin quilt and rummaged back and forth on Lao Dao's body, trying to find some money. The Acropolis searched the old road again and again, but only turned out a palm-sized jade pendant, and there was no half of the silver.

Acropolis held the jade pendant in his hand and said to Chen Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, you are here to guard, in case that old Taoist wakes up, get him some water, I will go out to find a pawnshop to exchange this jade pendant for some silver money first, and then buy some food back." ”

Chen Xiaoyi looked at the unconscious old dao, stared at the jade pendant in the hand of the acropolis, and said shyly: "If we do this, will we ...... Not very good?", Acropolis rolled his eyes and said, "It's just a jade pendant, we saved his life, besides, when I exchange this jade pendant for silver money, I will buy food and share it with him, and then buy him some medicine, so that he can live." ”

Chen Xiaoyi couldn't say anything, after all, he was also very hungry. Besides, he was very clear about the temperament of the Acropolis, and it was useless to refute it at this time. The Acropolis really didn't allow him to refute anymore, patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the temple gate, and soon walked away.
