The sun came out, and the sky soon brightened.

The mountains and forests shed their cold and heavy dead air, and began to wake up.

Gao Ming stood quietly in the forest holding a gray ball. The forest is so quiet that you can hear the sound of countless insects and birds coming out of their nests. This is the joy of the sunrise of a new day, this is the sound of life.

Ah Zi stepped forward and gently patted Gao Ming's shoulder: "Festival mourning." ”

Gao Ming replied calmly: "It's okay, little senior sister rest assured." ”

Ah Zi nodded.

Ah Zi glanced at him carefully with concern, and suddenly there was some surprise in his eyes: "Huh?"

Gao Ming asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's fine. You seem to be getting a little more handsome. ”

Gao Ming smiled faintly and said, "Senior sister said that she was laughing." ”

Ah Zi smiled and said, "You are indeed different from before. You seem to have made some progress in your cultivation. ”

Gao Ming was a little surprised. However, at the moment, I didn't feel much joy, and I didn't take it to heart.

"Daoist, can I trouble you and cremate my sister-in-law. ”

He Zhengyang nodded.

Gao Ming said again: "But be careful, there are too many trees in this forest, don't catch fire." ”

Ah Zi smiled: "Yes, can you still think of such a thing now?"

Gao Ming looked at the blood-stained clearing and said, "My eldest brother taught me that no matter what, what should be done, what should be done. The people are gone, but the living have to live. ”

Gao Ming lowered his head and rubbed the ball in his hand stupidly, and muttered, "You have to live better." ”

Ah Zi glanced at Gao Ming silently, turned his head to He Zhengyang and said, "Daoist, even if you burn it, I will circle the fire." ”

He Zhengyang nodded and started the fire talisman.

The flames were blazing, beating and rising. The white silk, the bright red blood, the empty skin, and the hideous head all turned into green smoke and drifted in the wind.

The pure white, the scarlet, the pure, the dark, the past fades away with the wind.

It can only remain in the memory of the living.

"Let's go down the mountain. Gao Ming said as he looked at the flames.

"Wait a minute, there's something in the fire. Ah Zi's eyes are sharp.

The fire burns vigorously and goes out quickly, just like the things of this world.

In the ashes, there was a touch of bright white, as bright as jade.

Gao Ming carefully brushed aside the hot embers and took them out.

It's a batch of white silk. Holding it in your hand, it is as smooth as a breeze. Twist vigorously between your fingers, and the flexibility and refinement will not show a trace of wrinkles.

Ah Zi stepped forward, looked at it carefully, and said, "This should be carefully woven by her, it is very precious, and it should be well collected." ”

Gao Ming nodded.

Ah Zi said again: "If you can trust me, you can let me here first, and when we meet in the capital, I will return you." ”

Gao Ming suddenly said, "Senior sister, you take me to the capital with you, okay?"

Ah Zi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not impossible. It's just that I'm afraid that you will be in danger with me. ”

"Dangerous?"

Ah Zi said: "To tell you the truth, I stole other people's things, so I was worried that someone would chase and kill me on the way." ”

Gao Ming asked strangely, "Your senior sister of the Jingshi Academy, still doing such a part-time job?"

Ah Zi kicked him: "I stole it for the Heng Sun Empire." ”

"Oh. Gao Ming's eyes showed a look of thought: "It turns out that you still have this heavy identity and occupation, so my baby ......"

"Whatever you want!" Ah Zi rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

Gao Ming hurriedly caught up: "Senior sister, I'm joking." Please also ask my sister to take it away for me. ”

Ah Zi took it, shook his hand, and put in the space magic weapon.

"What about this?" Ah Zi pointed to the gray ball.

"I've got this with me. Gao Ming carefully hugged the inconspicuous ball tightly.

Gao Ming continued: "Please also ask Senior Sister to take me back with me." ”

Ah Zi asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" I can remind you in advance that that thing is still a bit important, and people will have to chase it desperately. You're not afraid of being hunted down?"

Gao Ming said: "You are not afraid of a woman being born and dying, how can my dignified man shrink his head?"

"Cut, say it as if you're of some use. ”

Gao Ming's skin is thin and tender, but his skin is still thick: "Maybe you can use it?"

Ah Zi nodded: "Okay, then let's go together." ”

After speaking, he turned back to He Zhengyang and asked, "Daoist, what are you going to do?"

He Zhengyang said: "There is still one thing that Poor Dao wants to invite the teacher's sister. ”

Ah Zi said, "You say." ”

He Zhengyang said: "Senior sister said before, and she also sensed another demonic qi?"

Ah Zi nodded and said, "I'm coming from the west, and I just have to hurry all the way." It does seem to sense a demonic aura on the way, but it is very weak, and I am not particularly sure. ”

He Zhengyang nodded, and then said, "Since that's the case, I won't be with Senior Sister." Senior sister will take the first step, and I'll find out. If there is really a demon, after this demon is removed, I will go to the Beijing Normal School to find my senior sister. ”

Ah Zi said: "Okay, when you arrive at the Jingshi Academy, you will directly say that you are looking for Senior Sister Ah Zi, and they will know." ”

He thanked Zhengyang and said goodbye: "In this way, then don't say goodbye." I'll go west, take care of the two of you, and we'll meet again in the future. ”

Ah Zi nodded: "Let's go east and wait for you at the academy." Be careful, the injury is not healed, don't be reckless. Definitely, don't die. ”

He Zhengyang nodded: "Senior sister, don't worry." ”

Gao Ming said: "Daoist, take care! Go to the academy well, and I will avenge your point." ”

He Zhengyang replied: "Okay, Gao Ming Daoyou." Take care, and we'll do it again. ”

The two sides said goodbye and followed the road to the west with Zhengyang.

"Let's go. Ah Zi said, "Is there anything important that you need to go back to the village to clean up?"

Gao Ming asked, "Why don't you go back to the village to rest and make up for sleep?"

"......" Ah Zi was a little speechless: "Make up for you! Hurry up, if the enemy chases after you, won't you harm those villagers? Your senior sister and I are a scourge from time to time, and whoever causes trouble suffers." ”

Gao Ming pursed his lips and said casually: "It doesn't matter, except for that lady and a few ignorant children, there are not many good things in the village anyway." ”

Ah Zi curled his knuckles and knocked on the door of his head: "It doesn't matter what it is, those are all my people of Hengday!"

Gao Ming asked rhetorically, "Then you didn't help them get rid of the demon before?"

Ah Zi suddenly put away her joking attitude, looked at the round of Tong Sun rising in the sky, and said, "Actually, the monster is also my child of Heng Day. It's just that they've been abandoned. ”

Ah Zi stopped talking, and just buried his head in the road first.

Gao Ming touched the ball in his arms through his clothes, stopped talking, and quickly followed.

The two of them went down the mountain together. After walking eastward for a while, suddenly, I looked up and saw a ruined temple standing on the side of the road.

Gao Ming smiled bitterly, this is the Eight Dragons Niangniang Temple last time.

"Eight Niangniang Temple. Ah Zi said.

Gao Ming was surprised and asked, "Little Senior Sister knows about this temple?"

Ah Zi said: "There are countless classics in the academy, and I happen to be the kind of person who loves to read stories, and I happened to read a record of this temple in a classic. ”

"Oh?" Gao Ming asked curiously, "Who is this Eight Lady Niang?"

Ah Zi replied, "A monster, a wise and psychic monster. ”

"This mountain was not originally called Eight Worm Mountain, and there was no Eight Worm Niangniang Temple. A few decades ago, there were monsters that appeared everywhere in Hengday, some did evil, but there were also those who lived in peace with mortals, but mortals couldn't recognize them. It is said that even the palace of King Shin is infested with monsters. ”

Saying this, Ah Zi paused. Gao Ming's heart moved, but he didn't move.

"At that time, the monks of Heng Sun were just like the people in the rivers and lakes in the past, scattered and mixed. Later, the government worked hard to organize them and twist them together. But there are also those who preach so-called freedom and chivalry, and they unite to confront the government. But in any case, whether it is in the compilation or in the opposition, these rabble can be regarded as regulated. ”

"And slaying demons and demons is something that both sides are doing. It has even become an indicator of the contest between the two sides. As a result, there are fewer and fewer monsters in Hengday. ”

And at this time, there was a big demon suddenly appeared in the corner of this barren mountain, this demon was powerful, dominating one side, and had its own rules, almost no different from being a king by himself. Some monks came to destroy the demons, but they failed several times, and there were even dead and wounded. ”

"Later, it was the secret military unit of my Heng Ri who killed him. ”
