I stopped, looked behind me in the moonlight, there was no one behind me, and the footsteps were gone.

Am I misheard with only a few trees scattered along the road, and no other shelter at all?

I continued to walk forward, under the moonlight, there was a fork in the front two or three hundred meters, one road was on Pudu Peak, and the other road was the canyon on the right, which was the road to Yaowang Cave.

I continued walking, and when I approached the fork fifty meters away, I faintly saw that there were two small pavilions over there.

I crept forward, and finally came to a small pavilion more than ten meters away, next to the pavilion were two rooms, and the entrance to the canyon was covered by barbed wire, completely blocked. There is a sign in front: Forbidden land in the back mountain, no entry.

How did this pass? The barbed wire fence is about two meters high, and if I climb over it, it will definitely make a noise, and if someone lives here, they will find me.

I'm hesitating. Suddenly, the lights in the room came on.

Worst!

There's someone here!

What to do!

If I find out, I'll die!

Even if I can subdue the people here and startle the snakes, this is the Shaolin Cabinet, and the masters are like clouds......

I was about to go around the back of the house when suddenly. A figure appeared on the right, a large hand grasping my right arm.

To my right was a masked man in black, and I was taken aback, but I didn't make a sound.

"Shh......h

The man in black grabbed my shoulders and quickly swept towards the location of the barbed wire, and with a jump, I was pulled up by the black shadow and jumped over the barbed wire.

The shadow dragged me to the ground, lurking in a large patch of grass.

Everything happened so fast, only two seconds.

My heart was beating wildly, more than two meters of barbed wire, and with a person, I jumped so easily?

And after jumping over, it landed smoothly, who is this black shadow? Why help me?

Through the cracks in the grass, I saw two monks coming out of the room, with cautious faces, searching around for a moment.

"It must be a night bug."

"That's right, senior brother, maybe it's the night worm from the depths of the canyon running over again."

"Sleep."

"Let's be careful, as mentioned above, there have been many forces thinking about the gate of the demon world recently."

"Senior brother, it's okay, even if someone comes, this is the Shaolin Cabinet, and no one dares to make trouble here."

The Gate of the Demon Realm? What the heck?

The surrounding road is a gravel road, and there will be no footprints, otherwise I will definitely be discovered.

After the monk entered the house, the shadow man got up and whispered, "Follow me." ”

What a familiar voice, it turned out to be Cao Yantao!

After walking a few dozen meters along the road overgrown with weeds, I couldn't help but say, "Cao Yantao, what are you doing here?" ”

Cao Yantao turned around and stared at me, "I'm also curious, why are you here?" ”

I said, "I heard footsteps behind me just now, is that you?" ”

"Yes." Cao Yantao nodded, "I found you a long time ago, and I was very curious, so I followed you all the way, but I didn't expect you to be so careless and almost discovered." ”

"You come out to do things at night, and you don't even prepare your night clothes? It's easy for you to be exposed, but fortunately I'm not from Shaolin, otherwise, you'd be in big trouble now. ”

I didn't prepare a night suit, I had planned to become a lay disciple, but the plan failed. Besides, preparing for the night walk to be discovered by others is not a good thing.

"Also, you were eliminated today and didn't leave, do you think, you're still gone? Can you swagger away tomorrow? ”

I took a deep breath, I had already weighed the pros and cons, but I had no choice, I had to get the job done.

"Thank you for helping me just now." I said, "Why are you helping me?" ”

Cao Yantao smiled: "I'm very interested in you, didn't I say it after the previous competition, I want to make friends with you, of course I want to help you, am I watching you being found and taken away by the people of Shaolin?" ”

Want to be friends with me when you see me? I don't know the purpose of my coming here, just help me, I'm curious about what kind of person this Cao Yantao is.

I asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Cao Yantao smiled: "I helped you just now, and I don't need to return this favor, so you just tell me the purpose of your coming here." ”

I said lightly, "Do you think I'll say it?" ”

Cao Yantao said: "Don't you say that I also know that there are many masters here this time, isn't everyone's purpose the same?" ”

"Same purpose?" I was stunned, is it all for the secret of the Medicine King Cave?

No way, only I know the secret.

Cao Yantao looked at me with some suspicion. "The Demon Star came to the world, didn't you come to investigate the gate of the Demon Realm?"

Exploring the Gates of the Demon Realm? Just now the monk mentioned the gate of the demon world.

What the hell is going on?

"Huh...... It seems that you really didn't come to investigate the gate of the demon world, let's say, what are you doing here? ”

I just hesitated slightly, Cao Yantao had already seen that I had other things.

"What? Don't you say? Cao Yantao smiled: "Your friend is too uninteresting. I have no ill intentions, if you have other things, maybe I can help, with your means and way of doing things, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

Do you want to set me flowers? I said, "Why are you helping me?" We only have one side. ”

"I said, I'm interested in you." Cao Yantao smiled: "Since I left the school. You're the first person I can't see through, and I found out that you don't have any martial arts background, and you don't seem to know the Dao, only brute strength, and you're here tonight. I'm more interested in you. ”

At this moment, Cao Yantao grabbed me by the shoulder and said, "Someone is coming, hide." ”

Someone? I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary.

Cao Yantao grabbed me and jumped. Twice in a row, I came behind a big tree more than ten meters away.

Seven or eight seconds later, a dark figure sped in and suddenly stopped near where we were hiding.

This person, who was also dressed in black and masked, searched around for a moment, checking the footprints left by me and Cao Yantao. There are also traces of stepping on grass.

The shadow examined it for a moment, and without lingering, it swept forward.

After the black shadow left, Cao Yantao said: "Look at this footwork and figure, if I am not mistaken, it is Bai Yangsheng." ”

I asked, "Who is Bai Yangsheng?" ”

Cao Yantao said: "No. 8." The eighth of our competition during the day. ”

I'm stunned, Eight?

Cao Yantao is here, and the eighth is also here?

Cao Yantao said: "It seems that No. 8 is also to survey the gate of the demon world, which is really interesting." ”

I couldn't help but ask, "What do you do to survey the Gate of the Demon Realm?" ”

Cao Yantao looked suspicious, "You don't know the gate of the demon world??" ”

I shook my head slightly, confused.

Cao Yantao's gaze became even more strange. "It's not a secret that this matter is not a secret, the Demon Star is closely related to the seal of the Demon Realm Gate, the Demon Star is born, and the Demon Realm Gate will be abnormal, everyone is here to confirm it. Is the magic star really born? ”

"And Shaolin is the land of Buddhism, no one is welcome to come to the forbidden place, and Shaolin will not make this answer public, so people who want to know the answer will come to investigate and prove it."

"If there is really an abnormality in the gate of the demon world, and this news spreads, I am afraid that the entire mage world will be in chaos."

I see.

I am the Demon Star, and I have been born for twenty-two years.

Of course, this matter must have been after the Dao Society promulgated the Forbidden Demon Record on the grounds of the birth of the Demon Star. Many forces want to know the answer, so they secretly come to check it out.

I said, "So, more than 20 years ago, the Demon Star was born, did the Gate of the Demon Realm move?" ”

"Yes." Cao Yantao said: "More than 20 years ago, I heard the elders say it. At that time, there was a crack in the seal of the gate of the demon world, and there was a tendency to break it, and finally the Dao Society and the strong people of Bailong Mountain came to Shaolin, killed the demon star, and joined forces to bless the seal. ”

I asked again, "What's behind the Demon Gate?" Why seal? ”

Cao Yantao was very surprised, "The gate of the demon world." Everyone in the mage world knows that before anyone cultivates, the master will explain the duties of cultivation and explain the war between the demon clan and the human race, but you don't even know? ”

I was very embarrassed, "I'm sorry. I'm not a mage, and I'm not here to explore the gate of the demon realm, but to do something else. ”

"Not a mage?" Cao Yantao looked at me in surprise, "No wonder I can't see through you, I see, it turns out that you are not a mage, now I understand, you are not a mage, of course I can't see through you, it seems that you are just born with divine power." ”

The two of us walked forward, talking as we went.

Cao Yantao told me that more than 2,000 years ago, the Demon Star descended into the world and led the demons of the mage world to fight against the mage world.

In the end, the Shaolin monks washed the demon nature of the demon star with supreme Buddhism, and the imperial court and the five major sects of Bailong Mountain joined forces to kill the demon star, and the demons were sealed in a place of death. That is, in the middle of the Mt. Shomuro.

And the seal is the gate of the demon world.

After that war, almost nine out of ten demons in the world were sealed at the gate of the demon world.

According to the history books of the mage world, when the demon star descends, the gate of the demon world will open again, and the monsters inside will descend to the world again.

The gate of the demon world is closely related to me?

It turns out that the magic star is a disaster for the world. It's not the Demon Star himself, it's the demon behind the gate of the Demon Realm.
