"Liu Chang, you hurry up, or you'll have to sleep in the wilderness again tonight. ”

On an official road, two fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers were walking one after the other with a burden on their backs, when suddenly the teenager in front stopped and shouted to the teenager behind.

The young man in the rear, who was also called Liu Chang, immediately walked a few steps quickly, caught up with the young man in front, took a few breaths, and said, "Du Kang, haven't you been tired after walking for so long? Why don't we take a rest on the side of the road?" ”

That's right, the young man in front is Du Kang of Anxi County, he was sent to the school by his father Du Ming since he could speak, because of his talent, he was recommended by the master of the school to study at Donglin Academy in Deshun Mansion, another young man called Liu Chang is the only son of Liu An, the only son of Liu An, and his knowledge is not bad, he accidentally heard that Du Kang's family has a very good relationship with Mo Chen, so he asked his son to have a good relationship with Du Kang, and heard that Du Kang was recommended to go to Donglin Academy, Liu County Ling also gave his son some relationship, and also went to Donglin Academy to walk with Du Kang。

Du Kang looked at the sun in the sky, it was hanging in the middle at this time, it was the hottest time of the day, he looked at the left and right and there were no inns, knowing that no matter how he hurried today, he couldn't find a place to stay, so he nodded, the two walked to the side of the official road and found a tree to block the sunlight and sat down, Liu Chang took out a water bag and poured a few mouthfuls of water, and then complained: "Alas, at that time, my father said to find a carriage for us, you have to walk, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and I don't know when you can get to Donglin Academy?"

Du Kang also took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Mr. said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. ”

When Liu Chang heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Which gentleman said this, why haven't I heard it?"

Du Kang replied, "Mr. Mo told me. ”

"Is that the gentleman who told you Journey to the West?"

Du Kang nodded, did not speak, and touched the burden in his arms, which contained a monkey wood carving wearing gold armor.

I haven't seen him for a long time, Xiao Du Kang no longer has the childishness and introversion that Mo Chen had when he first saw him, maybe because he read the book, at this time he already has a bit of the style of a reader, at this time he is sitting on the side of the road without an image, and he also has a little bit of elegance, and he can vaguely see a trace of Mo Chen's shadow in his gestures.

"Du Kang, I heard that your dumb disease was cured by Mr. Mo who gave you a peach?

When Du Kang heard this, he sighed helplessly, there is no impermeable wall in the world, he has suffered from dumb diseases for many years, and once he was cured, many people naturally had doubts, and in the end he didn't know who spread the news, anyway, most people in Anxi County knew that he had eaten the peaches on the peach tree planted by Mo Chen's family.

Seeing Du Kang nodding, Liu Chang was even more excited, and kept asking about Mo Chen, Du Kang's eyes were empty, and Mr. Qingyi sat on a recliner slightly lazily in his mind, although he was lazy, he had his own elegance, as if he was not a mortal, and his every move was extremely natural, as if he was one with heaven and earth.

To say that Mo Chen is also a celebrity in Anxi County at this time, first Mingyuexuan's door plaque will shine, and then a peach cured Du Kang's dumb disease, and later someone broke the news that he saw Mo Chen and the city god standing together and discussing, and it was rumored that it was mysterious and mysterious, which pushed Mo Chen to the forefront.

To say that there was a strange thing at that time, at that time, the people of Anxi County heard that Du Kang was cured of a dumb disease by a peach, and many people went to visit Mingyuexuan, trying to get a peach, but Mo Chen was not at home, these people naturally did not even enter the gate, and after waiting for a long time, Mo Chen did not come back, so naturally some people had bad intentions and wanted to forcibly go to the yard to steal peaches.

But every time someone takes action, they see the person who is going to steal lying at the door of Mingyue Xuan the next day, motionless, and when people ask, they will shout and say some nonsense that they will never dare to do again, and later it is rumored that those who want to steal peaches have seen two mighty generals, who are the two red-faced generals and black-faced generals posted on Mr. Mo's door.

Du Kang thought of this, turned his head to look at Liu Chang, watched the curious light flash in the latter's eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo is actually just like the rumors, although I have studied with Mr. Mo for a few days, I don't know a lot, and I feel the same as ordinary people." ”

Du Kang is lying here, he has been with Mo Chen for a long time, how could he not have seen something supernatural? At least more than once, he has seen the scene where Mo Chen stretched out his hand and the firewood set himself on fire without fire, but he didn't want to say more about Mo Chen, so as not to violate Mo Chen's taboo.

"Alas, I still want to hear you tell me about Mr. Mo, when I asked my father at home, he always told me not to ask more, and once he even slapped my palm. After Liu Chang finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and gestured, and a painful look appeared on his face, as if he recalled the scene of being beaten in the palm of his hand.

Du Kang watched it amusemently, drank another sip of water, felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot, stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and said, "Let's continue on our way." ”

When Liu Chang heard this, he immediately made a bitter face and said, "I really don't know why your physical strength is so good?"

Saying this, he also stood up and followed behind Du Kang, Du Kang saw him crying with a sad face, and said, "I'll continue to tell you the story of Journey to the West, distract yourself, and you won't feel tired." ”

Liu Chang hurriedly walked to Du Kang's side and said, "Last time, I talked about three dozen white bone spirits, so let's continue talking." ”

Du Kang gave him a funny look, cleared his throat, and began to talk again from the three dozen white bone spirits.

The two walked for a long time, and finally found a dilapidated small temple in a hill near evening, and the two of them lit the dry firewood they picked up on the road with a fire breaker, Liu Chang shook off the burden and said: "Tonight finally don't have to sleep in the wilderness anymore, although this small temple is broken, it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

Du Kang nodded, did not speak, took out a book by himself, and read it by the light of the fire, Liu Chang was lying on the ground, stretched comfortably, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Du Kang flipped the books, occasionally added firewood to the fire, the surroundings were extremely quiet, except for the sound of the books turning, that is, the burning dry wood made a crackling sound, after a long time, Du Kang felt a wave of tiredness hit, put down the books in his hand, added a few dry firewood to the fire again, walked to the side and wanted to sleep, but suddenly felt a gust of wind hit, and the flames on the fire also shook a few times.

Du Kang glanced around suspiciously, although this small temple is dilapidated, but there is no leakage around it, how can it feel that there is a wind blowing, then his eyes looked ahead, his gaze was slightly condensed, there seemed to be two figures flashing by just now, Du Kang pretended not to see it and walked to Liu Chang's side, shook the latter, and said softly: "Liu Chang, wake up." ”

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Liu Chang woke up in a daze, opened his eyes and looked at Du Kang, but his eyes suddenly widened, only to see that behind Du Kang, a figure dressed in white and with a cloak floating in the air, was clapping an arm on Du Kang's shoulder.

Du ...... Liquor...... There's a ghost!"

When Du Kang heard this, he felt a cold body, and felt an arm on his shoulder, and just wanted to look back, but suddenly thought of what Mo Chen said.

"If you're walking down the road at night and someone shouts your name behind you or taps you on the shoulder, don't look back!"

Thinking of this, Du Kang resisted the urge to look back, thinking about how to break the game, but there was no thought in his mind.

At this moment, in Du Kang's baggage, a dazzling golden light lit up, and then an arrogant voice came out.

"Monkey King is here, where did the little ghost come from, and dare to be presumptuous?"
