Chapter 1: The Beginning
On a rainy night, there were no stars or moons in the sky, and it was dark everywhere, and a little girl who looked thirteen or fourteen years old was rushing to the night road with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She didn't have an umbrella, she looked nervously at the lonely light in the distance, the hair on her forehead was already wet, and the rain ran down her delicate face.
From the perspective of others, there is only one little girl who is walking alone, but only she knows that there are two "things" behind her.
She looked nervous and kept an eye on her back.
"Oops!" Still accidentally stepped on a stone, and she fell to the ground.
The two things circled in front of her, grimacing with teeth and claws, "You can see us, right?" Don't pretend! You can see us. ”
The little girl rubbed her feet and did not dare to look up.
"Don't pretend, you've been able to see us since you were a child, say it, say it and we'll take you to a fun place!"
Large drops of sweat flowed down the corners of the little girl's forehead, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she didn't even dare to raise her eyes.
The night was cold and cold, just when the stalemate continued, she suddenly found that the rain had stopped, and she didn't know when she held up an umbrella on her head, and in the haze, she only felt that the owner of the umbrella had a clear face, and her eyes were calm and gentle, as if there was a calming power.
"It's raining, why don't you go home yet?" He lowered his head, only to see the long eyebrows flying obliquely into the sideburns, his eyes were like cold stars, the green silk behind his head was flying, and the shadows on the bridge of his nose and lips could be vaguely distinguished, and it was actually a handsome face.
The owner of the umbrella was dressed in white, and in the dark night, his body was blooming with a glow as warm as moonlight, and the little girl opened her mouth slightly, stunned. And the two "things" seemed to be afraid of the light on the owner of the umbrella, and hid in the distance, not daring to approach.
Seeing the little girl looking at herself blankly, the umbrella owner smiled slightly, and there seemed to be starlight shining in her eyes: "Little sister, are you okay?" ”
"Ahh The little girl came back to her senses, "Thank you, brother, I, my house is in front, and I forgot to bring an umbrella when I went out." ”
The owner of the umbrella raised his eyes and looked at the lights in the distance in front of him: "Can you stand up?" I'll send you back. It's too dangerous for you little girl to walk at night. ”
He stretched out his hand, and his hand was so warm! The little girl tried hard to get up, but as soon as her injured foot hit the ground, it bounced up again.
"You've got it." The owner of the umbrella was keenly aware of everything, and he bent down, "Come, I'll carry you." ”
He looked thin, but he didn't expect it to be very powerful, and he easily carried the little girl behind him.
His back is also warm.
The little girl's hand was around his neck and she held the umbrella, and she was completely oblivious to her fear by having such an older brother with her all the way. After walking for a short while, she looked back and saw that the two "things" were gone!
"Brother, you have light in you!" She looked from the side at his cheeks that were not as delicate as mortals.
"I'm not an immortal, how can there be light," he smiled lightly, his breath was very steady, "You should be talking about my qi, I'm a disciple of Yuxu Mountain." ”
"Wow! It turns out that brother, you are a person who cultivates immortals, so powerful! Where are you going? ”
"Go to Beijing to take the exam."
"Huh?! Aren't immortal cultivators Taoists? How do you want to be an official? ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was smiling: "Not necessarily all Taoist priests." I ask you, have you ever read a book? ”
She was a little embarrassed: "I've read a little bit, but I'm stupid, I can't read well." ”
"There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. Let me ask you again, do you think it is difficult to save people, or is it difficult to save the world? As he spoke, his eyes kept looking straight ahead, as if neither the rain nor the mud could stop him.
"Salvation?" She wasn't old enough to understand much.
"It's to save many, many people, not just one or two in front of you." He smiled softly.
She replied without thinking: "Of course, it is difficult to save many, many people." But how hard is that! ”
"I just want to do the hardest thing in the world." His voice was sonorous and powerful.
The little girl tilted her head to look at the dew hanging from his eyelashes, although she couldn't understand his words, the firmness in his eyes and the calmness at the corners of his mouth all flashed with shocking power.
"Brother, your wish will definitely come true." She blurted out.
He turned his head and smiled: "Accept your noble words." By the way, what about your family? How can you be left alone to travel at night? ”
"I only have one master, and he is a medicine man. My house is in a grass hut in front of me in the bamboo forest. ”
The two of them had already walked along the river to a bamboo forest, and a small fence and three thatched cottages appeared in front of them.
He put her down: "You should be safe now, can you walk in by yourself?" ”
"Yes." The little girl tried to land on her feet, and wondered, "Brother, do you still have to go at night?" ”
"Hmmm! If you go out late, you are afraid that you will not be able to catch the exam, so you have to walk at night. Besides, the rain has almost stopped. He looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh of relief. The dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and a few stars were revealed. He tilted his head, his face was carved like a craftsman, and his whole body was long and jade, his clothes fluttering, and his long hair was flying, as far away as the independence of a green mountain; Although he was a little thinner, his posture was as steady as Mount Tai, and his wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, like a lonely hermit.
Oh, my God! This brother is also too good-looking! The little girl's face couldn't help but turn red.
"I'm leaving." He said softly.
"Well, thank you, brother! Have a safe trip. Be sure to make your wish come true! ”
He smiled slightly, his eyes as bright as stars. He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed it on the top of her head: "Go back, you have to work hard!" ”
"Hmmm! I will. ”
