The two old cows mooed from time to time, the sky was blue, Wu Ergou watched a few clouds floating over his head, breathing the refreshing breath of the mountains, and couldn't help but raise his voice and sing loudly: "Nanshan gangue, white stone rotten, life is not Yao and Shun Chan." The short cloth is suitable for the first half of the night, and the long night is long?......"

When Wu Ergou was singing loudly, a strong wind suddenly blew in the quiet valley, and this wind came suddenly, which caught Wu Ergou off guard. Just as he was about to leave, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the sky, and the dazzling light pierced people's eyes.

Wu Ergou immediately covered his eyes, and at the same time, the two cows suddenly let out a heart-rending scream. When Wu Ergou felt that the strange light was gone, he tried to let go of his hand.

The strange light did disappear, Wu Ergou was a little frightened and a little curious, he looked back at the two cows beside him, but found that the eyes of the two cows were bleeding.

The two cows stopped screaming, but they staggered and fell to the ground at the same time, and died so strangely.

Wu Ergou didn't dare to stay any longer, so he ran away.

On the other side of the mountain, a rotting corpse slowly rose from the ground, with a beastly roar in its throat, its pupils glowing with an evil red light, and a fishy stench emanating from its body, like a beast that had lost its mind. With a slow pace, he slowly walked down the mountain.

Linfeng Village is located at the foot of Wolf's Head Mountain, south of Wolf's Head Mountain. Wu Ergou ran sweaty and finally returned to the village.

There are only 21 families in the village, and it is a small village.

At this time, the white-haired old man who was walking slowly on the path was the eldest person in the village, and people respected him as Hu Lao.

When Hu Lao saw Wu Ergou running back to the village in a hurry, he beckoned to him and called him to his side.

"What's going on, look at your panicked, why did you run back when you didn't herd cattle in the mountains?" Hu Lao stroked his thick white beard, like an old immortal, with kind eyebrows on his face, and always kept smiling.

Wu Ergou gasped rapidly, stroked his chest with his hand, and said while calming his emotions: "A strange light suddenly appeared in the sky just now, didn't you see it?"

Hu Lao said with a puzzled face: "I just came out for a walk, and I haven't seen any strange lights?"

"That's ......"

Wu Ergou briefly recounted what happened, and Hu Lao's face instantly gloomy after hearing it, and instructed Wu Ergou to inform the people in the village to be vigilant at all times, while he left the village alone, not knowing where to go.

To the east of the village, there is a natural stone forest with stones of various shapes. At this time, Hu Lao almost trotted to this stone forest, and called out loudly: "Immortal, please get out of the mountain quickly." The demon light you predicted has already descended into the world, and the legendary demon has probably also entered the world!"

After finishing speaking, a figure flashed in front of Hu Lao like lightning and stood aside.

He is the immortal that Hu Lao said, but he is not as elegant and chic as people imagine. On the contrary, he was wearing a tattered dress, with a string of beads around his neck, and a beard on his face, which was tall and powerful, and full of size. But he has a pair of small eyes like mung beans, which are extremely inconsistent with his strong and tall body.

The so-called "immortal" smiled roughly, and said to Hu Lao: "You don't have to worry, the immortal has already seen the demon light descending into the world, and he has also sensed the breath of the demon. You just have to go back to the village now, and I will subdue the demon. ”

"Okay, then there will be Lao Xianren, the old man will take his leave. Hu Lao wiped the sweat from his face, and now that he had the promise of the immortals, he was relieved, so he slowly walked in the direction of the village.

Watching Hu Lao slowly leave, the "immortal" who was still swearing just now looked disdainful at this time, looked up at the sky, and said to himself: "What kind of demon light came to the world, it was just a random concoction to fool that old guy, I didn't expect this group of stupid villagers to really believe it." ”

He muttered to himself for a while, then left the place, and his figure slowly disappeared into the depths of the stone forest.

Hu Lao returned to the village, he told the villagers that the immortals would personally subdue the demons, and the villagers believed it, but they still did not dare to go up the mountain again, and all stayed in the village.

After a few days, the village was calm and there was no disturbance on Wolf's Head Mountain. The villagers thought that the immortals had subdued the demons, so they gradually forgot about it. People are starting to return to normal life again, with men farming and women weaving, carefree.

Now Wolf's Head Mountain and the surrounding villages next to the mountain are as calm as ever, but the cultivation sects in various parts of the world are secretly fluctuating.

The Antarctic Immortal Palace is located in the extreme south, and it can be regarded as a true cultivation sect, but it is a sect that only accepts female disciples. But because of the topography and environment, now the disciples are withering, and there are only a handful of eight people in the entire sect.

In addition to the palace master of the Antarctic Immortal Palace, which is the current head of the eight people, three of the remaining seven are Dharma protectors, three are elders, and there is only one disciple, and this disciple is only six years old and is still a child, but she is not an ordinary child.

The Far South is an ice field that stretches as far as the eye can see, and the whole ice field is like a mirror, reflecting all the ups and downs.

Now the palace master of the Antarctic Immortal Palace is a woman who has just turned twenty years old, called Bingqing. Counting the current cultivation realm, Bing Qing can be regarded as the least famous head.

The name Antarctic Immortal Palace sounds very magnificent, but there is no palace here, and the disciples in the sect all live in ice caves, but the name of the sect sounds very sacred.

Bingqing and her little apprentice stood on the cold ice field, with the howling cold wind in her ears and the boundless snow-white world in front of her. Behind them, one older and one younger, stood six other people. Three of the younger ones are the current Dharma Protectors, while the other three older ones are the three elders.

Bingqing held the little apprentice in her arms, she turned around and looked at the six people in front of her, revealing a look of reluctance.

"A few days ago, the vision from the sky was exactly the same as the scene that the ancestor said when he was dying, and today I took Yue'er to the Central Plains to find the legendary opportunity, everyone take care. ”

Bingqing was dressed in white, and her tone of voice was very soft, like an ice and snow fairy, with tears in her eyes, which looked touching and pitiful.

"Go, don't be nostalgic for us, when the time comes, we will go to the Central Plains to find you. "The one who spoke was the Great Elder of the Antarctic Immortal Palace, and he was also the oldest person in the sect today.

Bingqing nodded, although he was still reluctant, he still turned around strongly with teardrops, did not look back, and walked forward step by step.

"Bai Yujing in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor. The immortals caressed my top, and my hair was immortalized.

Mistakenly chasing the happiness of the world, quite poor and chaotic. Ninety-six Holy Monarchs, floating clouds hang empty names.

Heaven and earth gambled, but did not forget the war. Try to get involved in the overlord strategy, and will be crowned with glory.

The fate of the time is a great fallacy, and it is abandoned to go on the sea. Learning the sword to turn over himself, for the text to be how to become. ”

Wu Axiu, Wu Ergou's elder brother, is a scholar, and returned to the village from the capital after this literary exam.

Today, the Central Plains is under the jurisdiction of Emperor Zhou, and the country name is Zhou.

The Zhou State attaches great importance to literature and martial arts, and as long as there is a plan, it can have a foothold.

Because it takes half a month to a month to announce the list after each scientific examination, and this Wolf Head Mountain is not far from the capital, so Wu Axiu returned to the village and took care of the elderly lady with his younger brother, doing his filial piety.

Walking on the narrow mountain path, between the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green grass, the sound of his recitation of poems echoes.

Wu Axiu sighed while reciting. When a scholar becomes a literati, the purpose is to gain fame and career. But he is a little frightened of his career, he doesn't like to deal with people, and he hates the style of officialdom today. If he had a choice, he would rather be a businessman than a scholar.

In his heart, even the younger brother who can herd cattle is more useful than himself, at least the younger brother can always be by the old lady's side and do his best.

Halfway through the journey, there was still half the way to enter the village, and standing here, Wu Axiu could already see the outline of Linfeng Village.

Wu Axiu, as his name suggests, is very fair-skinned and delicate, looks weak and impervious, thin and small. He was now halfway up the mountain, and he was too tired to walk, so he stopped and rested in the shade of the tree.

Behind him was a dense wood, and there were occasional noises in the woods. Wu Axiu only thought it was some pheasants and hares running, and didn't think much about it.

Wu Axiu's physique was already weak, but at this time, it was noon, and the scorching sun seemed to be hanging above his head, making him extremely tired and unable to muster a trace of energy.

"It was so hot and I was so thirsty. ”

Wu Axiu muttered to herself, stood up, and prepared to walk through the woods to the nearby creek to wash her face and drink two sips of water.

Walking into the woods, I heard the sound of a wild beast running closer. So he stopped, turned around, and was about to leave the woods.

He quickened his pace, and the voice behind him grew closer.

"Roar~"

Suddenly, a low roar came from behind him. Frightened, Wu Axiu panicked and ran away.

However, as soon as he started running, he accidentally tripped over a tree vine, causing him to fall to the ground in pain.

"Ah, youkai!"

Wu Axiu saw what was chasing her, and her face turned pale with fright.

It was a human-like monster, with scarlet eyes, a mouthful of fangs, half of his head hairless, his limbs showing white bones, and his body full of rotting and stinking rotten flesh. It was disgusting and scary to be able to see maggots crawling around his body.

"Ah~huh~"

The monster roared in front of Wu Axiu, and it didn't look like it wanted to attack people, but it seemed to be communicating with Wu Axiu.

Wu Axiu knew that he was weak, and he couldn't fight away the monster in front of him at all, so he tried to stand up and looked carefully into the monster's eyes, and the monster was also looking at him.

They all stood still, looking at each other motionlessly.

Looking at the monster's eyes, Wu Axiu felt that the other party's eyes contained very complicated feelings, and it seemed that there were many things that could not be said, very helpless and sad.

"Were you human before?" Wu Axiu asked, feeling that only a human could reveal such a complicated look.

The monster nodded, and its eyes softened. However, in an instant, the monster suddenly roared, like a mad beast. It raised its arm that exposed its white bones, and attacked Wu Axiu with its mouth open.

But he only took a step, and then crouched on the ground with his head in his hands, screaming frantically and in pain.

"You don't want to hurt me, but you can't control yourself, can you?"

Although Wu Axiu is not good at interacting with others, his biggest characteristic is that he observes words and feelings, and sometimes he can even see through other people's eyes. It's his innate ability.

Hearing Wu Axiu's question, the monster let out a low roar, as if in response.

"Look at your miserable appearance now, what a wretched person. I'll take you back to the village. Wu Axiu stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, but the monster suddenly stood up and quickly stepped back, looking at him with frightened eyes.

"Why didn't you let me touch you?"

Hearing Wu Axiu's inquiry, the monster shook his head vigorously.

Just when Wu Axiu was puzzled, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the forest, and soon a group of people walked in. Among this group of people is his younger brother Wu Ergou.

Wu Ergou and this group of people were all armed with sticks and axes, and when they saw the monster, they all surrounded them violently.

Wu Axiu saw his younger brother and wondered, "What are you doing here?"

"Big brother, aren't you taking the exam in the capital, why did you come back?" Wu Ergou asked rhetorically when he saw his brother with a surprised look.

"Ah Xiu, come here, stay away from this monster, he is poisonous, and he has killed many people in the surrounding villages, we are here today to kill him!" It was Hu Lao who spoke, Hu Lao looked at Ah Xiu and said anxiously, for fear that the monster would hurt him.

Wu Axiu turned around and faced this group of people, these people were from Linfeng Village, and there were also people from other villages, and it seemed that there were about a hundred or ten people.

Wu Axiu shook his head and said to everyone: "He's not a monster, I've met him for a long time, and he didn't hurt me, which shows that he still has reason, and he is also human!"

"Big brother, don't be deceived by him, I don't have time to explain to you now, we have to kill him today!" Wu Ergou forcibly pulled his brother to Hu Lao's side, and then followed everyone to surround the monster.

People were a little scared at first, but when the first person took the initiative, everyone picked up their clubs and swung at the monsters.

The monster let out a burst of screams, Wu Axiu was extremely unbearable, and shouted: "Don't fight, don't beat him, everyone don't beat him, he is the same as us, he is also a human!"

Hu Lao patted Wu Axiu's shoulder and sighed lightly: "Axiu, don't be too kind-hearted. Even though the monster used to be human, he's not human anymore. In the past few days, he ran like a wild beast to the village near Wolf's Head Mountain, not only wounding many people, but also drinking human blood. The wounded also later died, and it was speculated that the monster was poisonous, which is why it killed people. ”
