"What is a disciple of the Ling Xiao Sect?"

At this point, the old white monkey asked very plainly, and his gaze looking at Shen Shi was also calm, but in Shen Shi's ears, it seemed like a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky.

He looked at the old monkey demon silently, his body was old and his expression was withered, no matter how he looked at it, he was already close to running out of oil, even if he was from a demon clan that had always been known for his physical strength, but at this point, the old white monkey could no longer pose any threat to him.

But Shen Shi felt a tremor in his heart inexplicably, and even felt a trace of fear under his gaze.

Before you know it, it's been three years......

He thought to himself in a daze, speechless.

The old white monkey took another sip of wine, I don't know if it was because of this human wine, his old eyes were a little more confused and dazed, sighed softly, and said in a low voice:

"Stone, what is a Lingxiao Sect monk?"

Shen Shiqiang laughed and said, "I said it casually, it was just to escape for my life at that time, ...... was half explained, and under the gaze of the old white monkey, his voice gradually lowered. Shi Zhu stood aside, looking unable to understand why the two of them suddenly began to say strange things, while the little black pig squatted at Shen Shi's feet, looking a little bored and yawning.

In the woods, the atmosphere gradually became cold and somewhat subtle.

The old white monkey stared at him deeply, silent for a long time, and when the atmosphere here became more and more cold to make the stone pig a little uncomfortable, the old white monkey suddenly said lightly: "I just thought about it carefully, since I met you three years ago and took you back to the Azure Snake Demon Clan, until today, I still didn't expect you to do anything unfavorable to the Green Snake Clan." ”

Shen Shi didn't speak.

The old white monkey also fell silent, the two of them used to have a close friendship, especially the old white monkey admired Shen Shi very much, but at this time, they both found that they were suddenly much stranger to each other, and they had a feeling of having nothing to say.

The wind rustled through the trees, the leaves rustled, and the sky grew dark.

The old white monkey muttered in his mouth, and didn't know what he was saying to himself, then looked up at the top of his head, which was covered by branches and leaves, and looked at the night sky outside the gap, sighed, and said:

"It turns out that at night here, it looks similar to the demon world. ”

"Whew...... Whew......" A low snoring sound, but at this time, came from the side, breaking the awkward and cold atmosphere, the two silent people turned their heads to look, only to see that the stone pig had fallen on the ground next to him at some point, in the shadows of this forest, fell into a deep sleep.

Before escaping from the demon world, the stone pig had been severely injured under the hands of the demon general blood wolf, and was directly cut off an arm, and after coming to the Guiyuan realm, he was running around again and again, and there was almost no time to rest, even with his strong body, at this time he was a little unable to support it, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

Looking at the past, this pig demon slept very peacefully and calmly, even if his face was hideous and vicious, but at this moment, it looked like he was sleeping, but it was strangely quiet and gentle, as if he was so relieved and assured, perhaps in his simple mind, the people around him at the moment were his most reliable friends.

It is worth entrusting a friend who is in danger.

So he slept peacefully, sleeping so soundly, as if it were like a ...... Years ago, that pig that was born in the Black Hell Mountains, liked to sleep and was greedy.

Shen Shi looked at the stone pig silently, in the past three years in the demon world, he didn't know how many times he had been on the battlefield with this pig demon, between swords, swords, blood, fire, life and death, even if the stone pig was just the most ordinary and ordinary pig demon in the demon world, but for him, the stone pig was still different from others after all.

Looking at the sleeping stone pig, a trace of warmth passed through Shen Shi's eyes.

"I picked him up too. Suddenly, an old but calm voice came from beside him.

Shen Shi turned his head and looked at the old white monkey, after the night fell in this forest, the surroundings gradually darkened, and the old white monkey's face seemed to be stuck in a shadow at the moment, and it looked a little blurry. But his words still came very clearly, with a little memory, but also with a little confusion, and said lightly,

"It was a long time ago, when I saw him in the forest of Black Prison Mountain, a litter of stone-skinned pigs was besieged by a pack of blood-devouring wolves, and the big pigs and small pigs were all bitten to death, and he was the only one left. I chased away the rest of the wolves, and found him shivering from under the sow's bleeding body, well, he had only been born at that time, but I could see some signs of blood mutation in his body. Perhaps this is also the reason why the blood-devouring wolves who have always walked alone will besiege them in groups, after all, demon beasts have always coveted the bloodline of mutations. ”

"Later, I took him with me, and when I grew up, he followed me until now. ”

Shen Shi sat quietly beside the old white monkey, listening to his old voice reminiscing about the past, listening carefully word by word, without the slightest impatience.

The old white monkey raised his head, as if he had taken another sip of wine, and then said faintly: "But after all, he is just a pig demon, his head is very stupid, he has been bullied by other demon clans since he was a child, so for so many years, he only believed in me, until he ...... later" The old white monkey smiled and said, "Until later, when you came, Shi Zhu was regarded as a second friend." ”

Shen Shi lowered his head slightly, still silent.

The old white monkey stared at the sleeping figure of the stone pig in the darkness, and said: "You don't know, since he made friends with you, how happy the stone pig is, although he is stupid and can't speak, but I can see it, because every time the tribe fights and fights, he will stand in front of you." ”

"He won't say nice things, he'll just block the sword for you. ”

"If there is going to be blood, he thinks it should come out of him. ”

"If he were to die, he would think he should die before we did. ”

"Am I right, stone?"

Shen Shi was in the dark shadows, his body seemed to be trembling slightly, and after a while, he said softly but forcefully:

"Yes!"

A soft sound echoed, as if the old white monkey laughed, but in this forest that gradually began to become cold and gloomy, his voice sounded so lonely and empty, after a while, only to hear the old monkey demon quietly ask:

"So, you're actually the same as those Terran monks, aren't you a demon or a ghost, but a human race?"

This time, Shen Shi was silent for a long time, and the old white monkey waited quietly, until in the dark, the figure who seemed to have completely blended into the dark shadows because of a black robe at the moment passed an answer, calm, calm, vaguely apologetic, but with that resoluteness, facing him in the dark, and said:

"Yes!"

※※※

In a small village outside the forest.

A few torches were lit in the night, and in the light of the fire, a large number of people from the Gray Lizard tribe could be seen lying in the open space of the village, most of whom were now bound up, and all of them looked depressed and dejected, with a look of despair on their faces.

Outside the door of the largest house, the four Terran monks of the Xuanjian Gate were all standing here, while Nangong Ying, who had an extraordinary identity and family background, was gone, and he didn't know where he had gone.

At this moment, the four of them gathered together, as if they were discussing something with each other.

One of them said to Senior Brother Geng, who was the leader: "Senior Brother Geng Cheng, Senior Sister Nangong said that she would go back to the Broken Moon City and use the secret method to contact the Heavenly Sword Palace to verify whether there is such a person like Shen Shi under the Lingxiao Sect, and how long will it take to come back?"

Geng Cheng shook his head and said, "How can I know about the secret techniques of the sect." ”

Qian Yi next to him suddenly sneered and said, "In my opinion, most of that Shen Shi is fake, even if there is really such a person under the Ling Xiao Sect, who can prove that he is not counterfeiting the name of Shen Shi?"

Geng Cheng glanced at Qian Yi, suddenly sighed, and said: "Senior Brother Qian, I know that your parents unfortunately died at the hands of the remnants of the demon clan, but I am a cultivator, a firm Dao heart is also indispensable, every time you meet the demon clan, you are so angry, for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be good for your avenue." ”

Qian Yi was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the senior brother, and the junior brother will remember it in my heart." After finishing speaking, the expression on his face suddenly became a little colder, and said, "But it's not that I deliberately have a prejudice against these demon clans, or against that guy who calls himself Shen Shi, there is really one thing, I think Senior Brother Geng and the two senior brothers may have forgotten." ”

Geng Chengyi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

Qian Yi said lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, the Lingxiao Sect, which is ranked among the four righteous in the world, has a door rule, and the disciples under the sect are not allowed to go to Jinhong Mountain or walk the world unless they enter the Ning Yuan Realm. ”

Geng Cheng pondered for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "It seems that there is indeed such a one." ”

Qian Yi sneered: "That guy who calls himself Shen Shi, the Jade Mansion has not opened the dantian and has not yet been completed, and it is a high-level realm of the Qi Refining Realm even if he reaches the sky, such a waste claims to be a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, and he also walks to this remote Guiyuan Realm at will, is this credible?"

Geng Cheng nodded slowly, it seemed that he had already believed a little bit in Qian Yi's words, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Senior Brother Qian is reasonable, but since things have come to this point, we must not act rashly. At present, the first thing for us is to send these gray lizard demon clans to the spirit crystal mine first, so as to dig the spirit crystal with coolies, which is a big deal. As for Shen Shi and the remaining two fugitive demons, let's wait for Senior Sister Nangong to come back, but it's better to leave one person to keep an eye on ......."

Speaking of this, his gaze swept over the other three, and when he seemed to be a little hesitant, Qian Yi suddenly stood up and said, "Senior brother, let me go." ”

Geng Cheng frowned, a little hesitant in his heart, this Senior Brother Qian has always hated the demon clan very much because of his parents' accidents, and his temperament is also a little extreme, but in addition, the relationship between everyone is excellent on weekdays, and Geng Cheng is inconvenient to refute his face too much, so after pondering for a while, he still nodded and said, "Since Senior Brother Qian volunteered, then you can stay." But you just need to go to the forest and keep an eye on those people, everything is still waiting for Senior Sister Nangong to come back, and everything is up to her. ”

Qian Yi smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and then turned around, but walked in the direction of the forest outside the village.

※※※

This cold and dark night looked extraordinarily long.

The wind, blowing stronger and stronger, with an endless chill blowing through this forest, made all the birds and beasts in the forest curl up in their nests, quietly looking forward to the beginning of a new day when the sun rises tomorrow.

How much darkness will there be before then?

How much more cold and gloomy to endure?

The old white monkey fell into a long silence, and he shrunk in the darkness, as if his withered body could no longer withstand the bitter cold of the night. He quietly glanced at the sleeping stone pig, listened to the steady and peaceful breathing, and suddenly became very envious.

He really wants to fall asleep peacefully like this, without all kinds of worries, will it be a happier place when he is asleep?

But he knew he couldn't sleep.

He felt that his body was very cold, he felt that this strange place was far colder than the demon world, but his reason clearly told him that in fact, this place was not particularly bad.

Maybe it's because the heart is cold?

Maybe it's going to die?

Fingers and toes, every inch of skin is so cold, the slightest coolness seems to penetrate into his body desperately, like a frozen old ice monkey. But fortunately, the old white monkey suddenly smiled in the dark, with a bit of self-deprecation.

Fortunately, at least, at this moment, there is still a jar of flower carving wine.

He burst out laughing, then grabbed the jar of wine, opened his mouth, and drank it to his heart's content.

From the corners of his mouth to the tip of his tongue, from the throat to the stomach and intestines, every inch of these beautiful drinks flowed made the old white monkey feel warm.

The wine dispelled the chill and warmed his heart, and the old white monkey couldn't help but indulge in this heavenly feeling, and kept drinking it with a little **, sighing from the bottom of his heart in his heart:

This is the real wine, and it is in vain what I have been looking forward to all my life, even if I die at this moment, I really have no regrets.

Until Shen Shi, who found that something was wrong, jumped up, rushed over and snatched the wine jar, the old white monkey's body was crooked, as if he had choked on wine, and he coughed against a big tree with his back, and the coughing sound gradually became more frequent, and then there was a faint heart-rending pain.

Shen Shi half-squatted beside him, lowered his voice, and said angrily: "Are you crazy?

The old white monkey's body was trembling violently, and suddenly, he stretched out his trembling palm and grabbed Shen Shi's arm. Shen Shi subconsciously stepped back, but then he saw the old white monkey staring at him in the dark.

It was a look of pain, disappointment, struggle, and confusion.

His body suddenly seemed to freeze, unable to move anymore, and even a little afraid to look directly into such eyes, and bowed his head slightly.

In his ears, there was the rapid wheezing sound of the old white monkey, and then when the coughing sounded a little calmer, the old monkey demon finally spoke: "You...... Is it still that stone?"

Shen Shi was silent, looked up at him, the old and wrinkled face was not far in front of him, and the palm of his arm that he was holding seemed to be trembling slightly at the moment.

Shen Shi didn't say anything more, just nodded.

The old white monkey took a deep breath, stared at Shen Shi in the dark, and said, "Tell me, what those people said during the day, is it true?

There was silence in the darkness, as if this darkness had reached the deepest and thickest time, as if the answer was like a terrible hand dragging them into hell at the end, but under the gaze of the old white monkey, Shen Shi couldn't say anything against his heart after all, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yes." ”

The old white monkey Mu Ran, a look of despair finally flashed in his eyes, and slowly let go of his palm, his eyes gradually became a little hollow, and muttered: "How can this be, how can it be like this......"

Shen Shi saw that his body was faintly shaking, and he seemed to be a little unstable even sitting down, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him.

When he hugged the old white monkey's shoulders with both hands, he suddenly found that the old monkey's body had been thin to this extent, and it turned out that under those clothes, it was already a skinny body, and the original feeling of running out of oil and lamps had never deceived him.

He sat blankly, just hugging the old white monkey who was trembling tightly, only feeling that the night was so cold and long, and only felt that the old monkey in his hand seemed to be dying at any time.

And he couldn't do anything, all he could do was barely hold the trembling and desperate old monkey demon tighter, hoping to make him a little warmer.

Suddenly, as if in the boundless darkness, a low and hoarse singing voice suddenly sounded, it was an old song, with the vastness of the distant years:

Open the world...... Breaking the Hongmeng ...... The Demon Comes Out ...... Wan Shining......

Laughing at the world...... Ant ...... But I am a demon...... Immortal......

Phi Jianjian...... Behead the enemy...... Blood gushing...... Thirst will drink......

Every word, every word, with endless rebelliousness and recklessness, echoes under this strange and cold night sky, as if telling the glory of the ancient demon clan in the past
