Chapter 1 When it rains at night in a broken temple
It is the autumn equinox, and the cold wind is like a knife.
In a mountain temple that has been in disrepair for a long time, a young man with a weak expression sits in the temple to take shelter from the wind.
"Have I traveled into this world for three days.........."
Raising his cloudy eyes and looking at the endless forest sea in the distance outside the temple, Su Ming showed a trace of bitterness on his face.
"Others are either surrounded by beauties or beauties, but why don't they give me anything as soon as they come to me, and let me end up like this?"
Skimming his weak body, Su Ming muttered again: "Alas, the online article mistook me!" ”
"Boom!"
As soon as Su Ming's words fell, a loud and deafening thunder suddenly came from outside the temple, which frightened Su Ming all over.
"This thief is ....." scolded in his heart, Su Ming didn't dare to say more, for fear of causing some thunderstorm.
As the thunder outside the temple intensified, the sky gradually became darker, and a dark cloud obscured the glow of the sky, followed by a heavy rain.
"It's over, I'm still thinking about getting out of this mountain today, how can I hurry when it's raining."
Heavy rain poured down outside the temple
In the forest outside the temple or in the surrounding weeds, there will be a rustling sound from time to time.
At the same time, those uneasy noises will also be mixed with some uncomfortable gazes.
Something seems to be dormant out there!
Tightening the only thin blue shabby robe on his body, Su Ming looked out of the temple vigilantly, and said to himself:
"Since I crossed here, those "things" have been with me for three days, and they have not retreated even though it is raining heavily outside the temple, which is really commendable........
Three days ago, Su Ming's soul penetrated into this mountain, and the first time he woke up, he found something hidden in the dark staring at him.
And as he walked through the mountains for a few days, the sight of those shadows gradually increased.
From the beginning, he felt that there was only one line of sight, and now the countless eyes hidden in the dark outside made him shudder in his heart.
But what made him feel strange was that those things hidden in the shadows had not done anything other than to follow him secretly these days.
This also caused Su Ming to dare not sleep too hard these few nights, for fear that after he slept to death, something beyond his cognition would suddenly appear around him.
Because he could vaguely feel that what had been following him outside was neither a human nor a beast...........
.............
Soon, the sky was getting darker, and the night was gradually swallowing everything in the mountains.
Not far from the mountain temple, a group of several people wearing robes, each carrying a large basket behind their backs, walked forward in the heavy rain.
There was a relatively young man with a black donkey in his right hand, caught in the middle by several other people.
"Boss, we're definitely going to send it this time!"
"Hahaha, Fengzi, don't get too excited, hold him well, if you let him run away, then our trip will be in vain."
"The boss is right, the mountain road is very slippery on a rainy day, Fengzi, you can hold him well."
A group of people were talking and laughing, and the black donkey was constantly screaming and struggling with his mouth open all the way.
Xu was bored, Fengzi's expression was evil, and he stretched out his hand and hit the donkey's head a few times: "Damn it!" Be honest with me, or I'll slaughter you later!" Then there will be no one to redeem you! ”
The black donkey seemed to be human, and he glanced at Fengzi with a very frightened look, and suddenly quieted down.
"Okay brothers, there seems to be a mountain temple in front of us, let's go there to take shelter from the rain first!"
The leading man found the mountain temple not far away, and a group of people quickly walked in the direction of the mountain temple in front of them.
When he came to the dim mountain temple, the leading man first counted the number of people, and after finding that none of the five people in the team were left behind, he rushed into the temple.
The mountain temple is very dilapidated, as if it has been abandoned for a long time, but there is no rain leakage.
The temple was full of spider webs and animal droppings, the incense burner and candlesticks on the incense table were all turned to pieces, and even the clay statue of the mountain god enshrined in the middle of the temple was so broken that even the head was gone.
"Whew, fortunately there is no rain here, brothers, let's rest in place for the night, and we'll ........... tomorrow No, there's still something in this temple! ”
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the leading man ignored the half-stripped coat on his body, and hurriedly took out a sharp nine-ring broadsword from the basket he was carrying behind his back, pointing to the darkness ahead!
"Fuck! What evil is in the dark! Dare to do it under the nose of your grandfather Zhang Lin! ”
Zhang Lin's roar made the hearts of the other people around him instantly tighten, and they also took out their weapons from the basket behind them.
"Don't be nervous! I'm human! I'm human! A weak, agitated voice came from the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, a delicate young man with a pale face and a weak expression appeared in Zhang Lin's eyes.
Su Ming's sudden appearance startled Zhang Lin and exclaimed, "Grandma's!" I have heard that there are many spirits and monsters in Qiyang Mountain, but how can there be a sick ghost here! ”
As he spoke, the big knife in Zhang Lin's hand slashed towards Su Ming!
The latter's body trembled, and his body subconsciously twisted to the side, easily dodging the attacking long knife.
"A few big brothers! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I really am human! ”
Seeing that Zhang Lin and his party wanted to attack collectively, Su Ming hurriedly shouted loudly to reveal his own identity.
"You're human?"
Hearing this, Zhang Lin stopped what he was doing, then stepped back with the others, and looked vigilantly at Su Ming, who was thinly dressed and had a weak and pale face in front of him.
"Boss, in this wilderness, you can't easily believe his words."
"I know."
Nodding, Zhang Lin took out a yellow paper talisman from his arms: "This is the evil charm I asked for in Master Wen's hand before, it can drive away spirits and wild ghosts, try it first!" ”
As he spoke, Zhang Lin quickly threw the evil charm in his hand forward.
"What are they trying to do?" Seeing Huang Fu flying, Su Ming showed a hint of puzzlement on his face.
However, looking at the long swords and broadswords held by Zhang Lin and his group, he still didn't say anything after all, and let the yellow talisman fall on his head.
No way, people still have to be careful.
Taking this opportunity, Su Ming borrowed the faint moonlight to see clearly the faces and clothes of Zhang Lin and the others.
Zhang Lin and the others had a somewhat dark complexion, as if they were often sunburned in the sun, and the clothes they wore under their robes were like the linen shirts often worn by the ancients in Su Ming's memory, which were by no means modern clothes.
Coupled with the weapons in their hands and the previous act of slashing people without saying a word, a wry smile flashed in Su Ming's eyes, confirming one thing again.
Looks like I've really crossed over.
"The evil charm didn't work on him, it seems that he really is human."
Seeing that the evil charm fell on Su Ming's head and there was no response, Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to take the evil charm back, and put it back in his arms.
"Boom! Boom! ”
Suddenly, the body of the black donkey held by Fengzi began to struggle violently, and kept roaring loudly in the direction of Su Ming.
This donkey...........
Su Ming subconsciously turned his head to look, but the next moment he seemed to see an incredible scene, and his pupils shrank suddenly!
The faint moonlight outside the temple shone in, and the black donkey turned into a naked teenager on all fours in Su Ming's eyes!
At this moment, the naked boy was looking at himself with a frightened expression, and he was shouting with his mouth open!
This scene made Su Ming's scalp numb, and goosebumps burst all over his body.
"Fucking noisy! Shut up! ”
Fengzi raised his leg impatiently and kicked the black donkey in the lower abdomen.
When he landed, the black donkey cried out miserably again, and a few tears the size of soybeans even flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing that the black donkey was still struggling wildly, Feng Zi showed the long knife in his hand and put it against its neck, and said, "Hurry up and shut up Lao Tzu!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you directly and roast you! ”
Feeling the killing intent on Fengzi's body, the black donkey was afraid and no longer struggled, and could only stare at Su Ming with two teary eyes.
Seeing this, Su Ming first glanced at Zhang Lin and the others, and then tried his best to suppress the horror in his heart, and asked with a suspicious face: "This big brother, who is this donkey?" ”
"Oh, it's such a little brother, we are foot traders, and this donkey is something we bought to run the mountain."
Zhang Lin smiled indifferently and said: "But this donkey has a stubborn temperament, please take care of it, little brother, we will rest in this temple for one night and leave tomorrow morning." ”
Seeing that Zhang Lin didn't say anything, Su Ming didn't ask much, turned his head around, and no longer looked at the "black donkey".
Soon, Zhang Lin and his entourage skillfully lit a fire in the temple.
The orange-red fire shone brightly, dispelling the chill of the heavy rain that hit outside the temple.
"It's so cold, little brother, you can also come over and bake the fire to take off the warmth."
"Okay, then thank you, big brother."
Dressed in thin clothes, and whether a gust of sleet was blowing in outside the temple, Su Ming couldn't stand the cold anymore, so he hurriedly sat on the edge of the fire and rubbed his hands to keep warm.
Seeing this, Zhang Lin glanced at the others by the fire, then looked at Su Ming and asked, "By the way, little brother, why are you here alone in the wilderness of Qiyang Mountain?" And it depends on your condition.......... Are you sick? ”
After thinking quickly for a moment, Su Ming replied: "I'm sorry big brother, my head is a little unconscious, I just remember that I came to the mountains with a few friends to play a few days ago, and then I seemed to accidentally fall under the cliff while resting." ”
"After that, I wandered around the mountains alone, because I hadn't eaten for days, and my body became like this, not because I was sick."
"I see." Zhang Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then do you remember where your family lives?" ”
Su Ming's expression was dazed, and he pretended to be amnesiac and said, "I'm sorry big brother, I'm ..... I seem to have lost my memory, and I can't remember where my family lives, but my friends will definitely come to the mountains to look for me. ”
The matter of crossing over can't be talked about with anyone, Su Ming can only find an excuse for amnesia to fool the past.
At the same time, he was also wearing a tiger skin on a donkey, making up a few "friends", trying to deter Zhang Lin and them, he was not alone.
After all, no one knows what the idea is in anyone's heart.
And Zhang Lin, how many of them......... It's not like a good person.
Skimming the sword that Zhang Lin and they had placed in the basket with his spare light, Su Ming felt a trace of vigilance in his heart again.
There is a group of things hidden outside the temple that are not human or beasts, and there are a few foot merchants in the temple who are not like good people............
Oh, this thief really treats me well!
