Chapter 1: The Chosen One
The sea breeze was gently blowing, the stars were shining brightly in the night sky, and a young man in a sackcloth shirt sat on a dark stone. The boy opened his eyes, his sea-blue eyes were like pearls scattered on the land, the boy stood up, stretched his waist, and let out a moaning cry, "I'll go, I'm overthinking again!"
The young philosopher, stroking his non-existent beard, stood on the black stone, and looked into the distance, "The world is so big, too big for me to see. ”
"Hee-hee, how do you know the size of this world?" a strange and obscene laugh seemed to come from the depths of the jungle.
The young man was so frightened that he jumped on the stone three times in a row, as if to avoid the demon in the jungle, "Yes, yes, who is it?" The young man no longer had the demeanor of the master just now, and was so frightened that he jumped up and down.
"Hmph, who am I? Is there only one in the world who can speak?" the voice sounded again.
No, it's not a person? The fear in the young man's heart suddenly exploded, "There are monsters!" The young man jumped down from the stone and ran in the direction of the village, "Grandpa, Grandpa, there are monsters in that forest!" The young man rushed into a small house in horror, and on the bed sat an eighty-year-old man who was sewing clothes in front of the oil-paper lamp.
The old man raised his head suddenly, "Youkai?"
"Yes! The youkai not only speaks human words, but also claims to be not human. The boy said in alarm.
"Xiao Ming, you must be dazzled, only human beings can speak in this world, and only we humans and you eat every day can move. The old man laughed.
"And what I eat every day?" Xiao Ming was surprised.
"Brute!" laughed the old man.
"Grandpa, you're not serious. Grandson didn't lie to you, I really saw a monster. Xiao Ming said, lying on the bed, thinking about life for a day and being frightened like this, he was a little tired.
After a while, Xiao Ming began to purre.
The old man extinguished the oil-paper lamp, did not go to bed, but got up and got dressed, picked up a cane and walked out.
Late at night, the stars are covered with thick clouds.
The old man walked unhurriedly into the depths of the forest, the air around him seemed to become slow, a cold cold air came out of the wet road, the sound was extremely reduced, since he walked into the forest, the old man's surroundings became extremely silent, and even the sound of the wind blowing the trees disappeared.
The old man approached the stone where Xiao Ming had been sitting for a day, and then stopped, "Who are you?" the old man looked at the stone.
"Hehe, it's not the Xiao family, even if they are demoted, they have extraordinary strength. The stone spoke, and a stone hand reached out from the angular stone, and then a gust of wind blew around the stone, and in an instant, the stone became a stone man half a man tall.
"I am the demon sent by Mr. Xiao to monitor Xiao Ming's growth, Shi Quan, I have met Old Man Xiao!"
"You mean Xiao Huang?" the old man asked.
"Exactly, Mr. Xiao is now leading our anti-army against the Eastern Alliance, and he really doesn't have time to see his son, so I can only ask me, who belongs to the Hidden Division, to monitor him. The stone man said.
"It's been like this for the past seventeen years?" asked the old man.
"Of course not, in order to ensure that he grows up without sorrow, Mr. Xiao specially asked him to come to see him only twice a year, and every time I turned into a stone, this kid sat on it every time. The stone man laughed heartily, he was doubting Xiao Ming's IQ, he hadn't noticed that he was sitting on the same stone every time he sat in a different place for so long.
"Then why did you let him find out this time? That kid was scared. The old man said, closing his eyelids.
"Could it be that Old Man Xiao has forgotten what Mr. Xiao said when he entrusted him to you?" said the stone man in a deep voice.
The old man shuddered, and his old eyes looked at the stone man, "I thought you forgot first. ”
"How come, Xiao Ming is the chosen son, and we are the weapon to attack the kingdom of heaven!" The stone man looked at the sky obliviously, and there seemed to be something charming above the heavy clouds.
