The old man looked up at the Wolong Mountain in front of him again, the road was rugged, and in this rainy weather, the potholes and stagnant water surface, people stepped on it, splashing with mud, not to mention, the shoe sticks were still wrapped in heavy mud.

"Inform everyone, let's go, I always feel a little uneasy, and I'll talk about it after crossing this Wolong Mountain."

The group began to move towards the mountains, perhaps because the road was boring, and these mountain walkers sang a minor tune when they walked the mountains, some like the dialect of the Kanto region.

The singing voice is majestic and agitated, echoing in this mountain, but it is quite uplifting.

At the end, two young people dressed as scholars followed the team silently, but their eyes were a little disdainful.

"These foot merchants are too long-lived, but they are singing in this Wolong Mountain, and they are not afraid of attracting evil spirits." A young man with a slightly short head and somewhat gloomy eyes spoke.

"Haha, the first time the junior brother went down the mountain to practice, but I didn't know, this mountain up and down, in fact, there are rules, whether it is demons and monsters, or mortals under the mountain, they have some kind of means of self-protection, you don't look at the singing of this foot merchant is useless, the foot merchant walks the mountain all the year round, and there is only a so-called 'qi' on his body, which can avoid evil spirits." Another, slightly older young man spoke.

"Then why do you need the people on the mountain to slay demons and defend the way? Anyway, these mortals can prevent disasters on their own! The young man said.

"Senior Brother Lin, how long have you been in Maoshan Mountain?" The longer man spoke.

"About 10 years." Young man.

"Ten years, what did you do before you entered the mountain?" Another humane.

"Before I entered the mountain, I worked as a guy in a restaurant."

"That guy in the restaurant, is he a mortal?"

Forehead?

year

The light man was suddenly suffocated, his face turned a little red, and after a while, he clasped his fists and said: "Senior Brother Xie's teachings, Senior Brother should not despise these mortals." ”

The older people smiled when they heard the words, but they didn't speak, and their own cultivation depends on understanding, but the heart is extremely important.

Cultivation is extremely difficult, how can it not be that every mortal goes against the sky, but this junior disciple has only been practicing for ten years, but he seems to regard himself as a person on the mountain.

Sure enough, it's young.

He smiled lightly, and no longer spoke, but began to speed up his pace, and finally parallel to the old man who was in the lead, and took the initiative to talk: "This way, my brother and sister, I have entrusted my husband to take care of me. ”

The old man turned his head and smiled slightly, and said, "I can't say it, I will need two people to take care of it in the future." ”

Well?

Faced with the old man's narrow smile, the young man was stunned, and then smiled a little awkwardly.

"I don't know which immortal disciple of the Immortal Mansion it is?" The old man got straight to the point.

"Xianfu doesn't dare to be, Liu Chengdong, the third-generation disciple of Maoshan, has seen the old man!" When he said this, he actually bowed, and then said with some doubts: "My senior brother and sister, I think I cover it up very well, but I don't know how my husband can see through our identity?" ”

"Nuo, look at your junior brother, I just didn't write that I am a monk in my head, I shouldn't have any experience in entering the mountain, he doesn't know this..."When the old man said this, he suddenly stopped his mouth, and stopped what he was talking about, but shook his head and changed the topic: "The old man has been walking this Wolong Mountain for many years, and there has never been an accident, in fact, the danger of this Wolong Mountain is just a false rumor, if there is a big insect that does not open his eyes, he will not dare to provoke it easily."

I'm waiting for mountain walkers, is it not good to bully the old and decayed big ring knife? ”

As he spoke, he had already taken care of himself and walked forward.

And this monk surnamed Maoshan Liu frowned slightly, this old man's words seemed to contain other meanings.

It seems, there is some yin and yang weirdness?

Wolong Mountain is huge.

The group walked for several hours before they could climb halfway up the mountain, but the sky was a little dark, and Wolong Mountain, which was already drizzling, was shrouded in fog, but it was a little cool.

"I can't cross the mountain tonight, I remember that there is a broken temple in the mountain, which was built by the villagers in the village under the mountain after the natural disaster many years ago, and it is also a place for pedestrians to rest when they can't cross the mountain, today the rain is a little heavy, and it is not safe to go over the mountain at night, so we will go to the broken temple to rest for one night." The old man at the head spoke, and then led the crowd and began to speed up his pace.

At this moment, a cyan figure seemed to flash through the forest, and the branches shook.

It's just that no one notices.

The monk named Liu Chengdong suddenly stopped, his eyes turned to the forest, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?" The junior brother surnamed Lin behind him said with some confusion.

Liu Chengdong shook his head and didn't speak, just now, he seemed to sense a deep demonic aura, but it was only for a moment, and he couldn't sense it anymore.

"Maybe it's because of distracting thoughts in my heart that I am a soldier everywhere."

Liu Chengdong didn't care either.

In the evening.

The rain showed no signs of stopping, but seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

After about half an hour or so, a mountain walker suddenly stopped, turned around and walked towards the old man who was in the lead, and said, "Old Li, maybe it's today."

The rain was a bit heavy and the road ahead collapsed. ”

The old man frowned slightly and stepped forward.

But I saw that the sheep intestine trail, which was originally only able to be crossed by one person, was now washed away by the heavy rain, and the mountains here were steep, and the road that was suddenly cut off blocked everyone's footsteps.

The old man's brow furrowed even tighter.

A moment later.

He said to the people around him: "I can't get through here, let's change the route, although I go around a little, but I can finally get to the broken temple before dark, so that I won't sleep in the mountains, this rainy weather is not convenient."

The mountaineers nodded and began to divert their course.

Liu Chengdong, a monk from Maoshan Mountain, walked over at this moment, looking carefully at the mountain road that was washed away by the rain, but his brows were a little furrowed.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?" The junior brother behind him spoke.

He felt that this senior brother seemed to be a little too cautious, didn't it just that the heavy rain had washed away the mountain road!

"It's fine!"

Liu Chengdong suppressed the doubts in his heart, and his face was silent, but he accelerated his pace and wanted to walk in front of this group of people.

"Elder Li, it's not good, it's raining too much, and the road ahead is blocked by an ancient tree, and it needs to be cleaned up to pass."

Someone started coming from the front again.

Liu Chengdong rushed to the front with an arrow step.

I saw that a big tree with a few people's talents was blown down by the wind like this and lay across the road.

His brow furrowed even tighter.

Suddenly, I felt something, and I turned around in an instant, as if I saw another cyan figure flashing in the forest.

At this moment, he understood that there seemed to be something that was stopping them from moving forward.

He unfolded his body and ran towards the forest.

He walked through the forest with great speed, relying on his senses

, chased a few miles away, but found that the mountain wind here is gusting, rainy and continuous, and there is nothing abnormal.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?" The junior brother surnamed Lin chased after him.

"It's okay, let's go back!" Liu Chengdong didn't say much, but returned the same way.

When we got back to the group of mountain walkers, the road had been cleared.

The old man walked over, looked at the two brothers, and chuckled: "It's getting dark, don't leave the two of you behind, it is said that the night in this mountain is not peaceful." ”

Liu Chengdong nodded, but didn't say anything.

The old man left first.

Liu Chengdong turned his head to the junior brother surnamed Lin beside him and said, "Senior brother, don't leave me too far at night, this place is weird." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the junior brother surnamed Lin to reply, so he left first.

Night.

But the rain is getting heavier.

The crowd walked through the mountains, and some of them were even soaking wet.

"This ghost weather, why did it suddenly rain so much, I have walked the mountains and waterways for so many years, and I have never encountered this situation." Someone shook his soaked clothes and complained.

"It's not once or twice that I go out to do business, all kinds of situations will appear, just get used to it." Someone spoke, but he didn't think so.

"Hurry up, don't bother, let's rest for the night in the ruined temple in front." Someone urged.

After a while, a ruined temple appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and in this rain, it seemed lonely.

Sure enough, it was a ruined temple.

The beams collapsed, and even the foundation stone in front of the temple was broken a lot, covered with moss, and apparently, no one had passed here for a long time.

"Let's go in and raise the fire, go a few people, and sprinkle lime powder around this ruined temple to prevent some insects or snakes or whatever."

Someone instructed that these mountain walkers were extremely strong in execution, and it was not the first time they had done these things, and some people were doing their jobs at the moment.

After a while, a bonfire was lit in the ruined temple.

This ruined temple is just one, and there is a collapsed stone statue in the middle, and I don't know who it enshrines, and I can't see the original appearance clearly.

It's quite spacious, because it has not been inhabited for a long time, it is a little moldy, and there are some straws in front of the stone statue, which are obviously left by the last group of mountain walkers.

They sat down by the fire in front of the statue, baked their soaked clothes, took out their own dry food, and munched on it.

"Rotate vigils according to shifts, rest in shifts, don't be careless, although this Wolong Mountain is a deep mountain and old forest, but there may be strongmen haunted..."The leading old man said.

"Ah, there's someone here!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, as if startled.

Hearing this voice, the big ring knife in the hands of many people also suddenly came out of its sheath.

And at the door, observing the terrain of this broken temple, Liu Chengdong, heard the sound, and ran to the temple in three steps and two steps.

Next to the stone statue, among a pile of straw, lay a young man, who looked to be in his twenties, without a shirt, revealing his bronzed skin.

He had a dark iron heavy sword on his head, a bamboo sword next to him, and two wine gourds, one yellow and one purple, hung from his waist.

Looks like a charlatan.

At this moment, the boy was sleeping soundly, and occasionally a slight snoring sound was heard.

"It's... Who is this person, he is not very old, but he is a person in this ruined temple, and he is not afraid of being eaten by the tigers in the mountains. ”

"This person is so sleepy, we have made such a big movement here, and we have not reacted at all, we are afraid of dying in the tiger's mouth

I don't know, but it's also a big heart. ”

"It seems that it should be a Jianghu guest, and he will rest here when he travels here."

Liu Chengdong looked at this young man, and was slightly surprised, this young man was breathing steadily, not like he was seriously injured, but he was so noisy, but he hadn't woken up yet.

It's a little weird, really.

"Hey, brother, wake up!"

A mountain walker called, but the young man did not respond, and even turned over as if he was a little impatient.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Maybe he just fell asleep, but I don't know where to come, but I'm not very relieved, this person doesn't look like a strong man, just leave someone to pay attention to him."

After the old man in the lead finished speaking, he seemed to remember something again, and instructed the people around him: "This rainy day, it's a little cold, this person looks like a practitioner, but this weather is also afraid of catching a cold, cover him with a dress." ”

Someone covered the young man with a dress, and then the old man instructed that the group of mountain walkers should pay attention to him, and they would not care.

"Senior brother, where did you come from?" The young man surnamed Lin asked.

"I can't see through it, there is no fluctuation of the monk's breath, maybe, it's just an ordinary Jianghu guest, it should be a martial artist." Liu Chengdong said.

It's just that he muttered inexplicably in his heart, only feeling as if something was wrong, and he couldn't say it.

I simply didn't think about it anymore, sat by the fire with peace of mind, and listened to these mountain walkers talk.

The leading old man put things in order, told the night watchman to pay attention to the movement outside, and went to the fire, took out a packet of dried beef, and took out a jug of wine out of nowhere, and drank it from the jerky.

"The weather is a little cold, brothers drink some wine to warm up."

The old man took a sip, then handed the flask to the person next to him, who also took a sip and passed it on to the next person.

Until the wine jug passed around, and finally the mountain walker handed the wine jug to Liu Chengdong.

"Rude, it's all your dogs who have drunk it, how can you give it to your son." The old man reprimanded, and then said apologetically: "Don't blame the son, we and other foot merchants, also known as mountain walkers, have always acted informally, drinking wine together, and eating meat together, but it is abrupt to the child." ”

Liu Chengdong also smiled slightly, in his early years, when he had not yet entered the mountains to practice, he had also wandered the rivers and lakes for a few days, and knew that these mountain walkers were actually similar to the people in the rivers and lakes, uninhibited, and had a bold atmosphere.

"It's not in the way, I just happened to beg my husband for a glass of water and wine, and I was thirsty."

Liu Chengdong said, but he took the wine jug, took a sip, and exclaimed: "Good wine!" ”

The old man saw that Liu Chengdong was acting informally, not only did he have a good impression, but said: "It's just an ordinary bad wine in the market, it can't be called good wine, it's just wine, depending on when to drink it and who you drink it with, this taste is different." ”

"It makes sense, the so-called wine is less than a thousand glasses of confidants, which is probably what it means." Liu Chengdong said.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Wine... What wine, I just fell asleep, who is gluttonous with me? ”

Suddenly, a voice sounded, but the accent was authentic Daling official dialect.

Liu Chengdong and the old man raised their eyes at the same time, but saw that the front of him, who was originally asleep, sat up suddenly.

Everyone was stunned for a while.

Then I couldn't help but laugh, this young man was a little interesting, he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed just now,

Just as he said the wine, Liu immediately woke up.

Haha, it turned out to be an alcoholic.
