"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. ”

Ning Caichen was a scholar who returned to the village from the capital after the literary examination.

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.

Ning Caichen 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, he had entered Montenegro.

Ning Caichen was fair-skinned and delicate, looking thin. 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. Ning Caichen just thought it was some pheasants and hares running, and didn't think much about it.

Ning Caichen's physique was already weak, and 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. ”

Ning Caichen muttered to himself, stood up, and prepared to walk through the woods to the nearby creek to wash his 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, Ning Caichen 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!"

Ning Caichen saw what was chasing him, and his 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 Ning Caichen, and it didn't look like it wanted to attack people, but it seemed to be communicating with Ning Caichen.

Ning Caichen knew that he was weak, and he couldn't beat 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, Ning Caichen 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?" Ning Caichen 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 bone-revealing arm and attacked Ning Caichen 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 Ning Caichen 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 Ning Caichen'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. Ning Caichen 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 Ning Caichen's inquiry, the monster shook his head vigorously.

Just when Ning Caichen was puzzled, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the forest, and soon a group of people walked in. Among these people was his younger brother Ning Er.

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

Ning Caichen saw his younger brother and wondered, "What are you doing here?"

"Big brother, aren't you taking the exam in the capital, why are you back?" Ning Er asked rhetorically when he saw his brother with a look of surprise.

"Ning Caichen, come here, stay away from this monster, he is poisonous, and he has killed many people in the surrounding villages, we are chasing him here today to kill him!"

Ning Caichen 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.

Ning Caichen shook his head and said to everyone: "He is not a monster, I have met him for a long time, and he has not hurt me, which shows that he is still sensible, 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!" Ning Er 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, Ning Caichen was extremely unbearable, and shouted: "Don't fight, don't beat him, everyone don't hit him, he is the same as us, he is also a human!"

Hu Lao patted Ning Caichen's shoulder and sighed lightly: "Ning Caichen, 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. ”

Hearing Hu Lao's story, Ning Caichen remembered the way the monster hugged his head and screamed in pain just now, and knew that the monster was restraining himself. Otherwise, Ning Caichen would have been attacked by monsters a long time ago.

Upon learning of this, Ning Caichen showed a complicated look, and finally shook his head and sighed lightly: "He is also a poor person, what is it that makes him what he is now?"

It took some time for the people to stop beating, and everyone threw sticks on the ground for fear of getting poison on the monster.

Ning Caichen followed everyone towards the bottom of the mountain, he glanced back at the monster and found that the monster was lying motionless on the ground, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.

The wind blows the leaves, and it can't hide the lonely desolation.

Time passed little by little, the sun was setting, and it was already evening.

He lay in the woods, letting the leaves bury his body.

At this moment, time seemed to be a long time, as if it had been a long, long time, before the moon on the horizon broke through the clouds and stood out in the starry night.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the earth, and softens the world.

The lonely rotten bones can no longer enjoy this soft moonlight.

The moonlight is as gentle as water, but it is also a pity for this beautiful scenery. After all, this injury is to the bone, even if the moonlight is difficult to repair, and it is in vain to suffer this autumn moon.

Late at night, the moonlight dimmed, and he moved.

Slowly getting up from the ground, it seemed so lonely in the night.

He looked up at the night sky, let out a low roar, as if he was confronting the sky, he didn't admit defeat, he wanted the sky to see, he could still stand here with his chest up.

"Why is it up to you to decide my fate?" a low roar came out of his throat, his stubbornness, his strength, was revealed at this moment.

"I'm not going to fall down so easily!" he said, holding his decomposing corpse, struggling to walk.

Ning Caichen's hometown is in Linfeng Village, Linfeng Village is dozens of miles away from this black mountain, and the people of the village have been chasing the monster so far, and they are really determined to kill.

This night, Ning Caichen followed the villagers to Lanruo Temple. Monkey and Yan Chixia were talking face to face with their eyes closed, and only the voices of the two of them were in the empty room.

Tang Xuansong couldn't help it, and said, "Can you two not speak, you don't have the feeling of sleepiness in the first place, and it will be dawn after being argued like this by you for a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the temple, and it was the villagers who came to the gate of Lanruo Temple.

Ning Caichen walked in the front, and as soon as he pushed open the gate of Lanruo Temple, he saw a figure standing in the courtyard, which frightened him into an exclamation.

It was Yan Chixia who was standing in the courtyard, Yan Chixia heard the footsteps, so she got up and came outside, looked at the people in front of the door, walked over quickly, stretched out her head to look at the group of people standing outside the door, her eyes blinked, the mud on her face was condensed, and she looked like a beggar.

"Big brother, you're too timid, one is just Hanako, what's so scary. Ning Er stood beside Ning Caichen, looked at Yan Chixia with a dirty face, and said disapprerovingly.

"I don't have a good time, how can there be a handsome and dashing beggar like me in the world? It's not safe here, you should go down the mountain quickly, or I won't be able to save so many of you if I fall into the devil's way." Yan Chixia boasted narcissistically, and kindly persuaded the group of villagers to leave.

Ning Er's temper was a little impatient, pushed away Yan Chixia, who was blocking the door, and broke into the temple, and then the villagers rushed in.

"If you stinky for food, don't pretend to be a ghost here. We just killed an evil cult, how can you be scared with just a few words?" Ning Er walked in front and said disdainfully.

At this time, Ning Er pushed open the temple door and saw four people standing upright in front of the door, which made him scream in fright, but it made everyone laugh.

"I tell you not to talk big on weekdays, it's a shame now. Ning Caichen shook his head and smiled, walked forward, and looked at the four people carefully, when he saw the appearance of the monkey, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he was scared twice in a row this day, and his legs were weak at this time, and he fainted directly.
