The human world

The fallen leaves are scattered, the birds and insects are silent, it is already dusk, and the already bustling Qingyu Town is even more sparsely populated, and there are occasional pedestrians, and they are also in a hurry and don't know where to go. On the side of the street sat a few beggars under the eaves of thatched huts, with broken bowls beside them, and a few copper plates in them. In the corner, several stray dogs scrambled for food, huddled together and heard each other's voices.

A little farther away, under the big willow tree, there was a young man, dressed in simple clothes, slightly thin, his hair was naturally tied into a bundle and hung down at the back of his neck, his angular face was quite handsome, and there were a little more vicissitudes between his eyebrows, about fifteen or sixteen years old, towards the sunset, dragging his back, and moving forward steadily.

The Meng family, a big family in Qingyu Town, the two big characters of Meng Zhuang on the door plaque are particularly dazzling under the reflection of the sun's afterglow, and there are two sturdy men standing on both sides of the door. The young man who passed by deliberately looked twice, and walked towards the woods behind the house with his head down.

There is an indescribable rhyme in autumn in the north, especially this maple forest, the red leaves all over the ground reflect the withered yellow, the young man sat on the ground, leaned on the trunk, picked up a fallen leaf, looked at it for a long time, slowly closed his eyes, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Six years ago, when he woke up, he found himself lying under a large pear tree on the Forgotten Soul Cliff, and he didn't know anything about the past. All he remembered was that when he woke up, there was a woman by his side, and at this point, this woman became his only friend in the world.

Meng Lu, the eldest lady of the Meng family and the only daughter of the owner of the Meng family, met the comatose Li Wei by chance six years ago. may be because the child's curiosity is heavier, and after looking at it twice, the two of them gradually changed from friends to lovers with the change of age and the coincidence of fate.

Her appearance appeared in his first memory space, and her experience was in his first opening of his eyes, but he didn't know that it was not waiting, just the world.

Just three days ago, Li Wei received a message from Meng Lu, see you in the old place this evening, and discuss something with him. Li Wei was only eight or nine years old when he met Meng Lu, and his memory was blank, he had nothing to do except the instinct of life, and Meng Lu was hungry on the street for several days after his first acquaintance, but fortunately, the blacksmith Chen of Qingyu Town saw him pitiful and took him in.

The sunset gradually faded, the black clouds covered the bright moon, and a gust of wind rose, Li Wei not only shivered, but also rubbed his arms up and down.

"Are you Li Wei?" This sudden voice made Li Wei tremble, and when he looked back, four or five middle-aged men were standing on the road where he came in the distance, the night was too dark, and he couldn't see his face clearly, the only thing that could be seen was the Pu knife in his hand, scattering cold light.

Li Wei had no choice but to answer, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you, how can you recognize me?"

This is the back mountain of the Meng family, except for the people of the Meng family, ordinary people do not dare to stay here so late, and the relationship between himself and Meng Lu is extraordinary, so he dares to meet late at night, obviously it is Meng Lu's own person, and time has passed for a long time, but these uninvited guests came, from the other party's fierce voice, it is by no means good, but there are all kinds of doubts in my heart, what happened to Lu'er?

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't care who we are, our brothers borrow something from you in exchange for some wine money. One of the men replied.

"What is it? I don't have any silver taels on me, this is the territory of the Meng family, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself if I am discovered." Li Wei's first reaction was to meet a robber, and he pretended to say this calmly, the Meng family is one of the best in Qingyu Town, not to mention robbers, even the government has to give three points.

When those people heard Li Wei's words, they laughed strangely again, "Big brother, let's not sell him Guanzi, he can't understand the words of such a little doll." After speaking, one of them turned his head to Li Wei and said: "Boy, we naturally know what kind of place this is, let's make it clear, our brothers are entrusted by others to take your life." ”

Before Li Wei could ask, one of them had already rushed over with a Pu knife.

Since Li Wei followed the blacksmith, he has been burning the furnace and striking iron every day, where is the sin of whom? was shocked by this sudden scene, and his first reaction was to run away.

"Damn, dare to run, stop for Lao Tzu, otherwise you will die later. This run, the few people behind him became even more angry, chasing and scolding fiercely.

Li Wei may have been carried away by this sudden scene, and he didn't know the direction in which he escaped, which was the place where he came to this world: the Forgotten Soul Cliff in the mountain behind the Meng family.

On weekdays, the Meng family is guarded day and night, and the mountain is only a few kilometers away, so much movement is said to have been discovered by someone a long time ago, but tonight, there is no one, this forest Li Wei and Meng Lu do not know how many times, and because the night is too dark, for a while those people have not been able to catch up, they have always maintained a distance of dozens of zhang between them, every time when the distance is close, Li Wei can always turn left and right to get rid of those people.

"You must run away, Lu'er must have been captured by them, I must hurry up and inform the Meng family!" Li Wei thought as he ran, because Meng Lu had known him for six years and had never missed an appointment.

Suddenly a sudden stop, Li Wei realized that his escape was meaningless, in front of this is a cliff, the first place he came to this world is here, the familiar pear tree is not far away, Li Wei turned to face a few people, subconsciously took half a step back, a few broken stones were kicked down by the moving feet, there was no echo for a long time under the cliff, panting heavily, sweating profusely, and his heart seemed to jump out.

"Hehe, you keep running. You little bastard, you hurt the old men who ran for miles, you really damn it. The men, all panting, stood six or seven feet away from him, and surrounded Li Wei from three directions, and one of them yelled.

I thought in my heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to run away this time, but I regret that I want to die here in such an unknown way, and in the face of life and death, I can't calm down even if I am anyone.

"May I ask, who is going to kill me?" took a deep breath and asked a few people, he knew that begging for mercy and other methods were useless at this time.

One of them said impatiently: "Death is going to die, why do you ask so much." You can leave a last word, but we don't have anyone to help you deliver it. ”

Li Wei took a deep breath, and suddenly noticed that there was a figure under the big pear tree in the distance, which was a figure he was very familiar with, he just wanted to speak, but he only felt a cold heart, a pain piercing the heart, a bloody smell rushed up his throat, his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud, he stretched out his hand to the figure in the distance, trying to grab something, but it seemed to be illusory, out of reach.

"Lu ......" reluctantly uttered such a syllable in his blood-mixed throat.

The abyss ahead, the hell behind you. Since Li Wei came to this world to remember things, he has never been so sober at this moment before he died, as if he had been in the world for ten thousand years, but for him, it was a change in the world.

The jade dew withers the maple forest, the deep cold light disperses Xiao Sen, the reluctant feelings on the Soul Cliff are surging, the single clothes urge the knife ruler, and the wind is grounded in the shade.

Another gust of wind passed, and the bare branches of the pear tree in the distance let out a whistling wave.

On the Forgotten Soul Cliff, lost in the incense, under the big pear tree, a teenager.

"I dreamed of my dream in my previous life and wished in this life, but I had no choice but to send the autumn cold, but the old man forgot his heart, and in the next life, you crossed me, but I would like to ......" A strange and familiar sentence flashed through his mind.

"Third child, go see if you're dead. One of the men in black said.

"Big brother, we're angry! The third child walked over and probed his breath with his hand.

The one at the head turned to the woman in the distance, muttered a few words softly, and walked back: "Third brother, deal with it cleanly, don't leave any traces! ”

"Don't worry, big brother, this little thing is wrapped up in me, hehehe", the third laughed strangely.

After a while, the third child picked up a pile of dry firewood from all around. He said to himself: "If it weren't for the strict laws of this Qingyu Town, I wouldn't be too lazy to toss so much, and push directly down from this cliff, cleanly, even if someone finds it in the future, it will be a pile of bones." Hey, my life is so hard, and I have to work so hard to burn you with firewood. "I'm going to light it when I'm done.

The third child was about to make a move, when suddenly a gust of wind rose, rolled up the residual leaves on the ground, and roared away at him, the third child didn't even have time to react, the residual leaves were like psychic swords, piercing the throat piece by piece. In an instant, the third child had returned to the West.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem. "A few old coughs came from nowhere.

"My emperor used to say, in today's world, anyone who dares to cultivate the Tao privately should be punished, cough cough cough..."

The old man continued to talk to himself about Li Wei's corpse: "After death, the soul will not return to the Nine Shadows, and it has violated the order of my emperor. With that, he stretched out his hand violently, and grabbed Li Wei's heavenly spirit with five fingers, and a phantom shadow separated from Li Wei's body.

"What about the Dao? They killed people and you didn't show up, I just shot and killed this wicked person, but you came to make trouble, what is the reason? You can't take away this young man's spirit today. A woman's angry voice rang out in the air.

At the moment when the phantom left the body, a white light flashed on the pear tree, and the moment the white light appeared, the phantom and the big pear tree suddenly disappeared, as if they had never existed in this world.

"The old decay has long been peaceful in this world, and there is no evil spirit, but I don't want to have your evil obstacle, you can hide it from my eyes, this is the first time since I was ordained, but I want to save people from my hands... The old man continued slowly, his tone was not hurried or slow, his originally dark gaze became deeper, looking at the direction where the white light disappeared in the dark night, his eyes seemed to change time and space, hundreds of millions of stars fell, and then, he struck the sky with a palm.

There was a muffled grunt from the depths of the sky, as if there was the sound of some porcelain breaking.

"Huh, ran away, this ......."

The old man narrowed his eyes: "I'm not here? ”

With a long sigh, the old man's body began to become illusory, and he disappeared in place, and the night was still very dark.
