Chapter 1 Ignorant Youth
The sky was overcast, and large dark clouds hung overhead, as if the sky had fallen.
In the Great Middle Empire, a small city in ancient Asia, the young man stood motionless in the courtyard, his feet buried deep in the snow, his hands grasping the fence, his handsome face was white and red because of nervousness, and his clear and bright eyes were staring ahead.
Darkness swallowed the earth in circles, and the road leading to the outside of the city was covered with snow, and there was no one but white.
When night came, the boy reluctantly withdrew his gaze, raised his wrist to glance at the time, and walked back into the house three times in steps, creaking under his feet, leaving a long row of footprints behind him.
"Is the sun coming out of the west today, our family Tianxun is starting to worry about my sister. ”
A woman's voice floated from the room, soft, calm.
"It's dark, okay, where does the sun come from? The boy muttered, stomped off the snow on his feet, walked into the house, looked at the woman, and said in a rough voice, "And Daddy." ”
The woman is the mother of the teenager, young and beautiful, from which part can be seen less than thirty, the teenager is fifteen years old this year, he once suspected that the woman is not his own mother.
"It's not completely dark yet, maybe my sister has already entered the city. ”
The woman smiled, put the dish on the table, turned back and pulled a towel from the wooden shelf, and wiped the water droplets raging in the boy's hair.
The young man hung his hands on his chest, drooping his head and letting the woman rub it on his head, like an angry bag.
He didn't quite understand why his mother didn't seem to be worried at all, even though his sister had already woken up, but Dad's leg was not good, and it would be very bad if he couldn't come back before it was completely dark.
"Okay, okay, mom is going to find someone to pick up my sister, don't worry. ”
The woman seemed to see what was on his mind, gently tugged at his little earlobe, smiled and turned into the kitchen, and came out with a steaming pot, and the boy sniffed, knowing that it was his favorite carrot stewed braised pork.
"Mom, I'm coming. ”
He hurried over and took the pot from his mother's hand, held it on the table, and put it away.
"Tianxun, if you are hungry, you eat first, and your mother will go back when she goes. ”
The young man looked back at his mother, if it was usual, it would not be just to eat first, he stayed in the kitchen in the morning, in the name of helping his mother, but in fact, he was looking for an opportunity to eat, but at this time, he had no appetite.
"Mom, I'm going with you?"
"You're in charge of the house. ”
Mother's answer was expected, the boy knew very well that as an ordinary person, if he wanted strength or not strength, speed or speed, many things could not help, he reluctantly shrunk his shoulders, bit his lip, and looked at his mother blankly.
Mom took some money from a coffee-colored metal box, counted it and threw a few back, put the box on the dresser, took out a gray trench coat from the closet, and put it on it and came out of the room.
"It's okay Tianxun, don't worry, ordinary monsters can't hurt my sister, believe my mother. ”
Mom put on her clothes, grabbed a long black hair from her back, cut it a few times, stared at him, and said with a smile: "Mom found that Tianxun's hair was messy like a chicken nest, but it was very beautiful and more handsome." ”
As she spoke, my mother turned around and went out, leaning slightly and tapping her toes, like a wild goose "flying" out of the fence.
The young man looked in the mirror, grabbed his head and came to the courtyard, staring at the direction where his mother disappeared and was stunned, he patted his chest, he didn't find a sense of relief, but his heart became more and more depressed, fear, this feeling is very bad, I haven't had it in my previous life, and I haven't in this life.
The boy's full name is Mu Tianxun, who came to this era three years ago, and suddenly has a father and mother who love him, and a sister who is like a flower to protect himself, and the first thing he wakes up every day is to pinch his ears.
Three years have passed, he has already woken up himself, the real life makes him feel extremely illusory, his father goes to sea to fish, his mother takes care of the housework, he and his sister go to school, while practicing, while helping his mother pick up some wild vegetables, collect some firewood, simple, happy, not too happy.
But he knows that this happiness is the result of his father's struggle for many years, and his mother's countless days and nights to operate, of course, in his heart, his sister's credit is the greatest.
Because they won't wake up, they will inevitably be bullied by their peers, and after some young people who realized it hindsight were taught by their sisters, they figured out that Mu Tianxun was Mu Qianxue's brother, and then ...... No then.
Half a month ago, the small town of Guya, which has always been calm, made waves, six people died overnight, and then people disappeared in a row, people judged by the remains of the corpses found in the back mountain, there were demon beasts into the city, the city lord organized personnel to conduct a carpet search in the mountainous area, and found nothing, the city guards patrolling the mountain reported that they did not find anything abnormal, tossing for a few days, the city lord had no choice but to announce: go out of the city less during the day, don't go out when it's dark.
It's okay not to go out of the city, but Dad wants to go back to the city, and my sister insists on picking up Dad, as usual, my sister goes out of the city early in the morning, and under normal circumstances, she must come back before dark, but tonight ......
"Don't get into trouble, don't ......"
There were forty-four steps from the courtyard gate to the house gate, and the young man walked back and forth while praying, and he stepped out of a black waterway in the courtyard, but his mother had not yet returned.
"It's annoying. ”
shouted inexplicably, Mu Tianxun went to the firewood room to pick up two pieces of firewood, went back to the house and threw them into the stove, turned around and ran into the night.
Out of the courtyard, he came back with a quick stop, rushed into his mother's room and picked up the iron box, his eyes turned a few times, and he raised the box with both hands and pushed it to the top of the wardrobe, and almost smashed the iron box off his hand.
Alas......
Impartially, the iron box hit his head, and his fair and smooth forehead instantly turned purple a lot, and it hurt to look at.
He snorted, opened his teeth and claws and hurriedly grabbed the box, his movements were very stupid, and he finally caught it, but in the next second, the lid of the box was loosened, and the money inside was scattered all over the ground.
Mu Tianxun was stunned for a moment, flipped the box over, hurriedly put the money in, pushed it with his hand, and the iron box slid into the bottom of the cabinet with a "bang", he lay down to take a look, got up and rushed out.
The cold wind tore his clothes mercilessly, and Mu Tianxun jumped forward like a wounded kangaroo, one leg high and one foot low.
Neighborhoods, bright lights.
On a snowy night when the cold air hits, it is a very pleasant thing to drink a few sips of wine, the music of large and small bars is melodious, the most noisy and lively, Mu Tianxun came to a bar, patted the residual snow on his body and walked to the door.
"Good evening, do you want to drink and talk about life, or do you want someone to help you talk about business?"
At the door, a young girl in a red uniform greeted her with a spring breeze on her face, reading skilled lines in a crisp voice, Mu Tianxun flashed a glance at the beauty, and asked politely: "Hello, may I ask if there is a woman who has come here to invite the demon slayer......
"Yes, a big beauty, the business has not been negotiated. The young girl interrupted Mu Tianxun and replied lightly.
Mu Tianxun frowned slightly, caught a glimpse of the smile on the beauty's face was fading, and asked stubbornly, "Why didn't it work out?"
"Five thousand yuan to go out of the city to pick up people, and return the two, to tease us, it's not enough to buy a bottle of wine. ”
He shuddered, turned and ran away from the bar towards the next house, but his mother didn't find anyone to pick up his sister.
There are five bars in Guya City that have the qualification to slay demons, and three of them are engaged in security business, Mu Tianxun did not go to the third one, he stood on the street, his mind was messed up, his fists were clenched tighter and tighter, and there was an urge to blow his head in his heart.
Going home, out of town?
There were two roads right now, tangled for a few seconds, and after glancing in the direction of home, he pulled out his legs and ran wildly towards the south of the city.
Although he did not awaken, but after three years of cultivation, his physical fitness was okay, and he ran to the exit of the south of the city in one breath, on the high city post, the flickering lights were like ghost fires, he glanced around, and dodged and dived out from the mountain road on the right.
About five miles away from the city is a forest, Mu Tianxun came to the edge of the forest, and suddenly found a black shadow sweeping towards this side, he was frightened, flashed into the woods and stuck to the giant tree, looking up at the sky.
The black shadow swept over his head and stopped on the branch, as if it was not coming at him, and secretly rejoiced, another black shadow swept away.
"There is martial law in the city, and I suspect that someone is on night patrol and rarely comes to me. ”
"Let me inform you from above, just take care of the bottom, and ignore the top. ”
"Do you still put it in below?"
"You do it yourself, don't forget who you are. ”
"Understood. ”
A dark shadow swept through the treetops, and as if nothing had happened, the conversation ended.
Mu Tianxun heard clearly, but he didn't understand what he said, he felt weird, after the black shadow left, he turned around and ran out of the forest.
Whew......
He ran out of the woods as hard as he could, and before he could catch a breath, a terrifying roar came from behind him, and he fell into the snow with a twitch of his legs.
A rhinoceros beast came over, put its mouth on his head and sniffed it, stretched out its front hooves and patted it, and he flew up and rolled dozens of meters away.
When he got up and wanted to run, but before his feet moved, the rhinoceros beast appeared in front of him and looked at him, as if to say: You are too weak to run.
Yes, it's too weak, but you have to run, Mu Tianxun glared at the rhinoceros beast and continued to run in a different direction.
The rhinoceros seemed to be upset, and with a kick out, he flew again, this time higher, and the rhinoceros rolled on the ground and came underneath him, waiting for its prey to fall into its mouth.
Seeing the blood-red mouth under him, Mu Tianxun was so frightened that his seven souls fell out of six spirits.
"Is it just like this, confused, coming and going, it's really sad!"
When he went out of the city, he still wanted to die, and he didn't die, but he really faced death, his heart was not desolate, such a beautiful life, it would be a lie to say that he was not nostalgic.
A few tears fell silently, and he closed his eyes and let his body fall.
Dizzy!
It's uncomfortable!
Is this what it feels like to die......
Falling into the mouth of the rhinoceros beast, Mu Tianxun's body seemed to have an earthquake, his internal organs turned over the river and the sea, roaring, followed by a sky-shattering roar, the rhythm of his head about to explode, and then, he was spit out by the rhinoceros beast.
What's going on?
Am I that unpalatable......
Turning over and getting up, Mu Tianxun was covered in mucus, smelling and wanting to vomit, but he swallowed and spit, staring ahead in amazement.
