Desolate ancient road, in the hot summer, the sun in the sky has become a scorching fireball, hanging in the sky, constantly spreading its light and heat in all directions.

The scorching sun scorched the world, the earth was like a steamer, and the mountains, the water, the flowers, trees, grasses and leaves, and even the mountains and rocks on the side of the road seemed to be steaming with endless heat.

The air was excessively dry, with no wind blowing and no moisture, as if someone had cast a spark at random, and a boundless sea of fire would immediately arise.

On this day, it was too hot, under the scorching sun, I couldn't walk a few steps, I was already sweating, and I just finished wiping this side, and the sweat couldn't stop seeping out from the other side.

Even the cicadas that like to chirp "know, know" in the summer don't call at this time, like they can't bear the high temperature, and secretly rest in the shade of the leaves.

This ancient road from Middle-earth to the Western Regions has always been extremely hurried and prosperous, with merchants from the Western Regions going to Middle-earth, and merchants from Middle-earth going to the Western Regions, and the two sides coming and going, transporting strange goods from the East and West to various places.

Today, the caravan carriage on the ancient road is nowhere to be seen, but in a tea shed on the side of the road, it is full of many people, drinking tea one by one, chatting with each other, occasionally looking at the sun outside, complaining a few words about the hot weather, and this batch of goods is afraid that it will be difficult to deliver on time.

On this hot ancient road, a figure walked in the distance, and in a short time, the person had already walked to the front of the tea shed.

This is a very strange young man, and the people in the tea shed have only seen it for the first time, and they can't help but feel the same way.

It's strange, it's not because of the young man's appearance and clothing, this young man is dressed in blue and has black hair, and for ordinary people, if it is special, it may be that the blue clothes look good.

What really made people feel strange about him was that the young man was holding a jade egg with ice blue and black stripes in his right hand.

In such a hot weather, coming from afar on the ancient road, while walking, holding a strange egg in his right hand that he doesn't know where? Isn't it strange, but what?

The young man stood in front of the shed, his eyes swept into the shed, and when he caught a glimpse of two men and a woman beside a dilapidated but very clean wooden table, he walked towards the three of them step by step.

The three of them look at the similar clothes, although there are different men and women, they are all blue and white clothes, and the patterns on the clothes are also the same, obviously the three of them are together.

Seeing the young man coming over, the three of them had a tea bowl in their hands, and watched this strange young man sit in the remaining empty seat by himself, and put the ice blue and black jade egg on the table.

"Shopkeeper, two bowls of tea."

The young man knocked on the table, smiled and shouted, and the three of them were all strange, why did he want two bowls of tea when he was the only one?

The three of them thought thoughtfully, their eyes met, their eyes stared at the jade egg that was placed on the table by the young man, and looked back and forth at the young man, as if they wanted to see through the young man and the jade egg.

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper was a sixty-year-old man, hunched over, carrying a pot of tea and two rough but clean tea bowls.

Behind him was a little girl about six or seven years old, with two pigtails, pulling the corners of the shop's clothes, and following him step by step.

"The guest officer wants two bowls of tea?"

The shopkeeper put down the tea bowl, looked at the young man, and then looked at the other three people who already had tea, and couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't care too much, people came and went, lived to his age, he had seen a lot of strange things, and this young man's behavior was far from special.

The shopkeeper shook his head lightly and poured the tea from the pot into the two clay bowls, at this time, someone on the other table shouted to add tea, and the shopkeeper had to reply first, "Okay!" He turned his head to the young man and smiled: "The guest officer drinks slowly, if you need to add tea, call the little old man." ”

The shopkeeper turned around and wanted to leave, but the little girl pulled the corner of the shop's clothes, and said in a glutinous and soft childish voice: "Grandpa, grandpa, look at it, look at it, Dandan's tea, Dandan's tea." ”

The immature and curious children's voice spread in this small tea shed, which aroused everyone's curiosity, and they looked over when they heard the words, and at first they thought it was a child's lying and eye-catching play, but when they really looked at it, the young man put a tea bowl in front of the egg, and a thin tube stretched out of the egg, and he was sucking the tea in the bowl.

At the same time, a young girl sounded, "Father, you lie to me, this tea is not delicious." ”

Everyone was shocked, the egg can actually speak? And call this young man his father?

Although it is a hot summer weather, the people who sit in the tea shed and drink tea all have a cold back, "Mom, there are monsters", and I don't know who shouted first, and the rest of the people are also shouting, making birds and beasts scattered, regardless of the sun outside the shed, the temperature is high, and they scatter and flee.

But in an instant, there were only six people in the tea shed of these dozens of people, plus a talking and strange egg.

"Look at you, scared them all away."

The young man touched the jade egg, and his tone was slightly reproachful, like a father caressing his lovely daughter.

"Father, what is a youkai? Can you eat it? ”

There was a child's voice in the egg again, but the little girl was not afraid, stretched out her little hand, and wanted to touch the jade egg, so frightened that the old shopkeeper hurriedly took her away, and the grandfather and grandson hid behind a firewood stack.

Demons, demons, and ghosts, in the stories that circulate in the world, are often representatives of evil, hurting, harming, and eating people, which is the only impression that many people have of them.

"In a sense, you can eat it, but some youkai are made of stones and trees, and you may have a toothy taste and diarrhea. Are you sure you want to eat it? ”

The young man thought for a moment, replied very seriously, the egg was silent, as if thinking, and then said, "That, that, father, let's go find those monsters who can eat them, and don't eat those who can't eat them." ”

"Poof."

As if he couldn't stand the conversation between the young man and the egg, the beautiful woman among the three couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The egg was talking to the young man while rolling around on the table, like a child coquettish and cute.

It's clear that you're a monster yourself, but you're there to discuss whether youkai can eat it?

The first time the woman encounters it, she divides the youkai into those who can eat and those who can't. Youkai with big trees and stones are very toothy to eat, and they will have diarrhea. This subverted the perception of monsters told her by the elders of the sect, and the more the woman thought about it, the more interesting she felt, and she couldn't help laughing.

When the two men saw the woman laughing, they turned their heads to look at her, and the man whose hair was scattered and untied was almost stupid, as if he was intoxicated by the woman's smile, and smiled, which moved his heart and fell into his heart.

The other man, apparently the head of the three, sat there with his hair tied up in a bun, dressed in blue and white clothes, with a handsome face and a little mark on his eyebrows, and looked arrogant and very strong.

"You're a youkai?"

The man suddenly stood up from the table and questioned the young man calmly, in an indifferent tone, with a kind of pride and oppression.

The young man smiled faintly, glanced at him, picked up the pottery bowl, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Yes or no?" How are you staying? ”

"If it's a demon, you have to die!"

The man's hair was windless, his body seemed to be burning with the breath of flames, and his right hand was held in the sleeve of his robe, and a long sword with a unique shape was held in his hand.

The long sword has no sword grid, the hilt is held by the man, the sword body is like a stone of lava in the ground, and the breath of the scorching sun is endless, as if it is burning forever.

"Senior brother!"

Another man and a woman hurriedly shouted, the woman was beautiful and slightly weak, and she was shaking her head at the man holding the sword, signaling no.

The sword-wielding man looked at her, and the sword in his hand pointed diagonally at the earth, "Ask again, is it a demon?" ”

The young man looked at him with a smile and said, "At a young age, there is a Jin Dan cultivation." It is indeed a talented immortal cultivator with vertical and horizontal talents, no wonder you are in charge of Xihe and she is in charge of Shu. It's a pity ......"

"What a pity?"

"I admire some of your attitudes, but I don't like the way you act. What if I'm a demon? Isn't it? ”

"I'm a little disappointed; We'll see you again. ”

The young man smiled mysteriously, his body sat and slowly faded away, and the jade egg was also like a young man, like a phantom, and gradually disappeared, leaving only the three people who looked at each other blankly and confused.

"Bang"

An object fell from the void and slammed on the table, and the three of them looked at it, and a piece of silver remained in front of the place where the young man had sit. (To be continued.) )
