The old national highway, before eight o'clock in the morning, was still filled with a cold thin mist that had not dispersed.

Although it is like an arrow to return to the heart, the bright road cannot be walked, and even needs to be detoured.

In this chaotic time, demon hunters are still demon hunters, but demons are not necessarily still like that, they form groups, form forces, and even collude with careerists among humans.

While hunting demons, demon hunters also have to prevent being hunted by demons, this is the reality.

I'm here, what's the use? We know more about the strength of the demon clan than before, and some of the big demons who 'crawled' out of that world, once they let go of their strength here, I am not sure that they will win.

Just like the promise of many years ago, didn't I do everything I could to get a victory that was not too bright? Maybe it's better now, right? But where is Funuo the strongest?

So, only hide.

"Family master, how much is the difference between our strength and those demons?" There was a young demon hunter in the car who asked me, the young demon hunters in the elite group, it is inevitable that they are young and vigorous, and they can't wait to compare themselves with God, these years of demon hunting are actually not facing a big role, and the demons from that world will not easily leak their whereabouts at all, I have already said that today's mountains and seas are definitely not omnipotent.

Taking a step back, what can I do if they leak their whereabouts? Let the older generation of the human race do it? Come to think of it, if they all make a quick move, things will only heat up dramatically.

I can't afford to be sacrificed, and on the other hand, these young demon hunters don't really know what brutal fighting is.

So, I don't know how to answer his question, and it's even a puzzle in my mind? Just like I have always believed in the balance of heaven, but I don't understand why God wants to set today's demon hunters and demons against each other. The balance of strength is more than a star and a half apart, even if you add the help of cultivators and relevant departments, is there another meaning?

"The head of the house?" Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, the young demon hunter couldn't help but call me in confusion.

I smiled, just glanced at him, then yawned in a sleepy way, latinated the cap on my head, leaned lazily back in my chair, and closed my eyes.

Seeing that I was tired, the young demon hunter didn't want to ask any more questions, in fact, they were used to me doing this occasionally, not giving any answers, and being very silent.

Besides, I'm really a little tired, I was tired from yesterday's demon hunting operation, and I was half drunk in the middle of the night, and I really fell asleep after closing my eyes for a while.

In the midst of the shaking, I dreamed of Brother Masakawa's appearance when he was young, as if he was the day I first entered the mountain gate, with long hair to his neck, wearing a slightly loose white shirt on his body, looking at me lazily and smiling, handsome like a person who came out of the painting.

How good the years? He took me to his room, the bed was given to me, he slept on the floor, and I laughed and talked a lot.

I seem to have known a lot of things in my dreams, and I want to tell him something, especially that he should not fall in love with someone who makes him miserable and should not be loved, but he seems to have never given me a chance to speak, and I myself hesitated. Or will Brother Zhengchuan let things happen in advance because of curiosity?

So, in such a situation, I never interjected, and inexplicably at dawn, when Brother Zhengchuan, who had been talking all night, looked up at me again, he was suddenly so old.

Sandwiched between strands of gray hair, the hair suddenly became thin and appeared slightly higher cheekbones, and the outline changed from the abundance and handsomeness of his youth to a kind of vicissitudes of profundity, and even if the stubble hung up, it left blue and black marks on his face. Isn't this what Brother Zhengchuan looks like now? How did it take so much time to be a teenager at that time overnight?

"Brother" I didn't panic in my dream, but sadness came from it, looking at such Brother Zhengchuan, my throat choked to the point of pain.

"Third child, in fact, I know everything you want to say. But I'm very uncomfortable, you know? Once, the most important person in my life was only Master, and then there was you. Later, there was another woman. It's just this woman who makes me walk in the cracks, she wants to kill you, and I love her. I can die for you, and I can give my life just like her. If I give my life in exchange for the dissolution of the enmity between you, why should I die? There were tears in Brother Zhengchuan's eyes.

"Brother, don't say that." I can't say anything comforting, am I not in a dilemma? Just because this woman is a former friend, and she wants to kill me, I can't necessarily kill her. What's more, Brother Zhengchuan loves her deeply. Do you want to hide for the rest of your life? I do not know.

"I can't forget to love her. Therefore, I am a wicked obstacle who has lost Master and you. Let me go, as long as she still wants to kill you one day, I will stay by her side one day, and if she has murderous intentions, I will die for you first. It's fair to exchange a life for a life. As he spoke, Brother Zhengchuan stood up, patted his slightly wrinkled white shirt in front of me, and then walked out of the room without hesitation, very fast.

I got up from the bed with a grunt, I wanted to catch up with Brother Zhengchuan, but unfortunately I couldn't catch up, I could only shout: "Brother Zhengchuan, will you take a lifetime for this matter?" Do you want to revive the mountain gate? Have you forgotten? ”

At this time, Brother Zhengchuan's figure was already very hazy, and when he heard my words, he stopped, smiled at me with sadness in his eyes, and then turned around and left again.

"Brother Zhengchuan, Brother Zhengchuan" I yelled at him in a sweat, but Brother Zhengchuan's footsteps never stopped.

"Brother Zhengchuan." I woke up from my dream, the car was still driving on this section of the old national highway that was not in good condition, the fog of the early morning had long since dissipated, the sun was mild, but it was also slightly dazzling, my eyes were astringent, and I couldn't help but close my eyes again.

"Head of the family, do you miss Brother Zhengchuan?" At this time, Ye Lang poked his head out and looked at me with concern.

I turned around a little lazily, and saw a cart of demon hunters looking at me inquiringly, and I said angrily: "There is this space, think about the improvement of soul power." I think my brother, that's normal, right? ”

The young demon hunters all smiled at me flatteringly, but there was some slight concern in their eyes, but this was what I couldn't stand the most, so I simply looked back and didn't bother to look at it again.

I wanted to continue pretending to sleep, but after such a dream, my mind was so uneasy that I simply took off my hat and put it on my face, allowing the emotions I had been controlling for more than two years to completely overflow.

I began to miss Brother Zhengchuan, the person who was second only to Xin Yi in my life, who had been with me for the only time he had with him.

But the recurring image in my mind is the scene of parting.

It was early summer more than two years ago, and in the evening, the mountain gate was quiet and the oil lamps were dim.

Brother Zhengchuan sat opposite me, and in front of me was the familiar small table that the three masters and apprentices used to eat, and there were a few small dishes on the small table, except for a steamed fish, the rest were vegetarian dishes, which were slightly shabby.

But I understand that if these dishes were put in the mountain gate more than ten years ago, they would already be very good dishes for our masters and apprentices, after all, vegetarian dishes are precious, and rice grains are not easy to obtain. This is the style of eating at the mountain gate.

A slightly cloudy wine was poured into the cup in front of me, but it was the most familiar taste, and Master drank this kind of wine.

I was a little tired, so I took the wine glass and drank it all, and then used chopsticks to pick up a few grains of bad soybeans, chewed carefully, the wine in the mouth was not dissipated, with the special sauce aroma of bad soybeans, people have a soothing and addictive sense of happiness, I put down the chopsticks, looked at Brother Zhengchuan and smiled: "I have become more and more aware over the years, why Master likes your bad soybeans so much, why do you put on such an addicted look to drink the turbid wine in this mountain gate." I'm also becoming more and more obsessed with them. ”

Maybe it's because when people grow up, they love to remember. It may not be the familiar smell that is indulged in, but the quiet years that cannot be traced.

Brother Zhengchuan smiled gently, the years have changed his face, but the eyes that belong to him alone will not change, he also poured himself a glass of wine, and just took a sip: "Third child, I should have eaten this meal with you a long time ago." It's a pity that you've been on the move all these years, and I'm going to wait for you to eat this meal, and I'll have to wait until you come back. ”

I didn't care, buried in the vegetables, stuffed into the mouth, thinking about leaving home at a young age, the most familiar and accustomed meal turned out to be the taste of this mountain gate, I said vaguely: "If you like it, when we are old, no, let me shoulder the current responsibility, I will accompany you to eat every day." ”

Life is like that, there are people who exist, and you take it for granted that they will always be in your life until the day you leave the world, and you don't assume that you will be separated at all.

Brother Masakawa is such an existence for me.

Brother Zhengchuan looked at me and smiled, put down the cup in his hand, and said to me: "Actually, every time you go out, I am afraid, afraid of hearing something bad about you." I never thought about how old we were or anything, because what are you going to face, I don't know? But I also understand that some things are useless, and what should come will always come. God is fair, right? I used to worry about you, but now you're worried about me, okay? ”

Brother Zhengchuan looked at me, his expression gradually became solemn, but he was a little sad.

I was stunned, Brother Zhengchuan's words were inevitably a little upside down, as if he was talking about my feelings, and seemed to want to calm me, but the important thing was that he seemed to tell me what to decide.

I put down my chopsticks, and the food that had not yet been swallowed in my mouth seemed to be a little difficult to swallow.

"Third brother, have you forgotten what I said to you after the end of the previous war? I'm leaving the mountain gate! Brother Masakawa looked at me, as if reminding me, more like strengthening his determination.

I reluctantly pretended not to care and said, "Oh, when are you coming back?" ”

"Come back? Look at her mind, right? If one day I die, you must remember that I have no regrets, and you are not allowed to avenge me. Otherwise, everything I do will be meaningless. Brother Zhengchuan said to me word by word.
