Chapter 1: Crying

The night is coming, the daylight becomes gradually dim, the green forest around the vines gradually disappears, and the deep night will slowly envelop the entire sky, without warning. The clouds and mist are peaking, but I don't know that this is only the scene of the day, and when the night comes, the scene is changed, in the night, the whole thing and the scene will lose its brilliance and vitality, a thick fog with blood will attack, the night fog will be full of unknown strange screams, the cry is like the demon ghost in hell, making people pierce the bones, trembling, it will invade the whole earth.

Let's go, the things in this fog must be coming out, a middle-aged man shouted in a panic, it is not difficult to see that his eyes are anxious, and he is very afraid of the things in this fog.

The middle-aged man turned around and shouted to everyone: Everyone put out the torches in their hands, follow the plank road, and quickly retreat to the stone cave, and today's task will be canceled.

Patriarch, a young man came forward and shouted: But what about the things in that Yakou, we finally have to get close to him, and now evacuate, wouldn't it be too much of a loss, you let me stay in Dongzi, go and find out, and bring the crying baby back, I am not afraid of the monster in the fog.

The young man who spoke was named Ye Dong, with a straightforward temperament, a big personality, full of fierceness and wildness, everyone in the clan called him Dongzi, but in the face of the patriarch's order, he challenged, and now he is looking at the patriarch with anticipation.

The middle-aged man's eyes sharpened, and he said sharply: Nonsense, and then he changed his tone and said: Dongzi, you have to remember that no one can deal with this ferocious monster, including you, don't retreat quickly.

As the patriarch of the clan, the middle-aged man has a very high prestige in the clan, and his words are more respectful to everyone and dare not disobey.

The young man was not excluded, and in the face of the patriarch's reprimand, he had no choice but to look aggrieved and join the evacuated crowd, but when he turned around, he also looked in the direction of Nayakou with a little unwillingness, shook his head, and disappeared into the crowd.

Seeing that everyone had retreated one after another, the middle-aged man's face was a little relaxed, but there was still a trace of melancholy on his face, and the fog in the night was getting thicker and thicker, he looked in the direction of Nayakou, just sighed roguely, and said to himself: May God bless you to escape this catastrophe.

At this time, an old man stepped forward and reminded: Shangqing, listen.

The old man's temples were as silver as silver, with well-defined contours and sharp black eyes, like an eagle in the night, revealing an unstoppable strength.

Under the prompting of the old man, the middle-aged man and everyone vaguely heard the cry of a baby, the sound came from the direction of the mouth, the immature cry seemed to be getting louder and louder, and everyone's faces became dull, showing a trace of scoundrel, but they did not stop evacuating, because they knew very well how dangerous the things in the fog were, and they also knew very well what was about to happen.

The middle-aged man turned around and shouted to everyone: Everyone quickly retreat to the entrance of the stone cave and temporarily ambush, the monsters in the fog are about to haunt, and there is no time.

Then he turned to look at Yakou and sighed: It's not that I'm not sympathetic to the common people and refuse to help, it's just that this monster is really cruel and no one can cure it, the old man has to focus on the overall situation, and I hope that this poor baby can forgive and forgive my clan.

After speaking, he turned to look at the old man and sighed: Let's go.

The old man glanced back, as if he was slightly contemplative, but said nothing, turned around and followed the middle-aged man out of the plank road and towards the cave.

It turns out that this middle-aged man is called Shangqing, is the patriarch of the Xuan clan, he has led the Xuan clan in this East Xuan Realm has been for decades, the East Xuan Realm is vast and boundless, there is no end, but here only the Xuan clan survives, when the Xuan clan was born, no one knows, only know that the times are long, and there are any strange people in the Xuan clan, it is the gathering place of all living beings, and I also know that the ancestors of the past generations have guarded this stone cave and continued, it is strange to say, there have always been evil spirits and monsters in the Xuan Realm, not legends, but facts, when night falls, as long as the thick fog begins to spread, it must be when this monster is infested, these fierce spirits and monsters devour all living beings, flooding the entire earth, but he was afraid of a boulder and did not dare to approach, this boulder is the stone cave that the patriarch Shangqing refers to.

It is rumored that in the ancient Xuan Realm was originally a peaceful and pure place, all creatures originated and bred here, but I don't know when, the entire Xuan Realm suddenly thundered and thundered, and there was a strange celestial phenomenon, and then the sky gradually darkened, and the spread of the thick fog invaded the entire earth, and the hellish demon-like howl came from the thick fog, at this moment, the Xuan Realm became a gathering place for demons and strange spirits, these monsters infested and slaughtered living beings, and all the places they passed were destroyed, at that time there was no Xuan clan in the Xuan Realm, and the people and beasts living in this pure land, Even the elves of human nature, in order to avoid this catastrophe there is nowhere to escape, these demons have lost their nature, hidden in the fog, the speed is so fast, no one has seen the whole picture of this monster, only feel that this monster has a lot of tentacles and strange feet, everything with the breath of life, are the object of their devouring, when everything is desperate, in the east of the Xuan Realm, but there was a sudden sound in the sky, a boulder smashed through the fog, the huge energy produced by the boulder with the light of the fire reflected the entire sky, where it passed, the fog dissipated, and what was even more strange was that there was a strange scream in the dissipating fog, obviously this monster was very afraid of the boulder, so it reacted。

The boulder smashed down in the Xuan Realm, the loud noise caused by the collision, as if the earth was shaking, the boulder smashed the ground out of a deep pit, this pit surprisingly created a natural cave, forming a large space, but the monster in the fog was not reconciled, although it was jealous, but still launched a violent impact on the boulder, the thick fog quickly attacked the boulder, but approaching the boulder made the monster pay a terrible price, countless terrifying screams, A low roar came from the fog, and the monster in the fog was killed as if it were self-destructing as soon as it touched the boulder, leaving only the thick blood floating in the blood mist.

In the end, the power of this boulder let the demon flee in a hurry, this catastrophe was temporarily peaceful, it is said that the demon was killed by the mysterious symbol on the boulder, until now there are ancient symbols engraved around this boulder, it is said that the symbol is more like the ancient text, but this strange phenomenon all shocked everyone, feeling that this is the protection of the gods, so under the leadership of an old man, he lived in this naturally formed cave, temporarily avoiding the encroachment of evil spirits, and said that the old man who took the lead was nameless and surnameless, white-haired crane, able to understand the benevolence and harmony of heaven and earth, was a master of cultivation, under his leadership, there was the origin of the Xuan clan and the stone cave, and then the boulder came from the east and fell in the Xuan world, it is called the East Mystic Realm.

The old man became the founder of the Xuan clan, and also the first patriarch of the Xuan clan, with the passage of time, this person will understand some of the secret texts on the boulder, and pass on the way of comprehension to the clan, so he will hide and become a legendary strange person in the clan, so the clan relies on this way of the Xuanmen, temporarily able to deal with the monster in the fog, but can never surrender it, can rely on the shelter of the stone cave, in order to pass it down from generation to generation, this middle-aged man Shangqing is the patriarch of the Xuan clan from generation to generation, specifically for several generations, he himself and the people in the clan have been blurred, but as the patriarch he knows very well the monster in the fog, he has to retreat to the stone cave first, and then wait for the opportunity。

The night with the stars was originally full of stars, with the flooding and invasion of the fog, making the entire starry sky instantly become dull and lifeless, such a solemn and tense atmosphere is not the first time for the people of the clan, but today's heavy and complex heart seems to be engraved on everyone's faces, making everyone silent.

Not long after the patriarch Shangqing under the leadership, everyone finally withdrew to the stone cave, as soon as they returned to the cave it was safe, the people in the cave came out to greet them, Shangqing arranged for several older men to let everyone go back to their residence to rest, and warned: No one is allowed to haunt the cave at will.

After arranging all this, he turned to look at a few good players in the clan and said: "You guys go to the entrance of the cave to be on guard, remember, don't take half a step out of the hole, if there is any situation, come and report immediately."

Several young men led the way to the entrance of the cave, but it was just a tall young man, who rushed to the front eagerly, and as soon as he took a few steps, he was shouted by the patriarch Shangqing: Dongzi, you stay.

The young man who was stopped was the previous wild winter, and after being stopped by the patriarch, he scratched his head and walked back reluctantly, his eyes glancing out of the cave from time to time.

Ye Dong stepped forward with a depressed face and said: Patriarch, you just let me Dongzi go, I promise not to take half a step out of the stone cave, you let them go, let me be idle, I, I am tickling in my heart.

Shangqing glanced at him, and said without changing his face: It's not that you won't let you go, you are impatient, the most willful, and it's okay on weekdays, but today is different, I'm afraid that you will cause trouble, so you will treat me honestly, and wait for this wind to pass.

The patriarch Shangqing knows Dongzi's character very well, and he is afraid that he will be eager to make meritorious contributions and be able to do it for a while, so he will go alone to save the baby at the mouth of the cliff, once something goes wrong, how can he explain to the clansmen, as the patriarch has to think about it.

The old man on the side was thoughtful, and he also came over and patted Dongzi on the shoulder and said: The patriarch is right, now is the time for this monster to infest, everything will be arranged by the patriarch, and it is not good for anyone in the clan to have an accident, as for that... At this point, he didn't say anything, just shook his head and sighed lightly: Everything depends on the will of heaven.

Speaking of this, the three of them were silent for a while, and Shangqing and Dongzi both knew the meaning of the old man's words.

In the silence, Dongzi suddenly had an inexplicable sadness and indignation, he had a simple brain, although his personality was big, but he was honest and simple, he said excitedly to the old man: Uncle Xuanying, that's a living human life, if we don't save him, we just watched him being eaten by monsters, you don't care, but I Dongzi can't do it.

With a brute spirit, he turned around and walked out.

Seeing this situation, Shangqing hurriedly said: You come back with me.

He turned to look at Dongzi who was scolded by him in the same place, with a slight anger on his face, and said in a deep voice: You think that only you Dongzi have a good heart and can save people, other people's hearts are iron and stone, when do we say it doesn't matter, you are willful, you let me say that you Dongzi is good, you can't change your temperament, and you won't come back to me.

Dongzi was speechless by what he said for a while, but listening to what he said just now, things took a turn for the better, so he scratched his head again, turned around and said with a smile: What the patriarch said is that Dongzi will change it in the future, and then he looked at the old man and said: Uncle Xuanying, Dongzi didn't like what he said just now, he was reckless, and I ask Uncle Xuanying to forgive me, you should treat Dongzi as a rectum, and he is stubborn.

Dongzi smiled again: Uncle Xuanying, you are resourceful, there must be a way, right?

The old man, known as Xuanying, didn't get angry with this Dongzi, but he was stopped by him for a while, and he didn't know where to answer, so he fell into contemplation again.

The patriarch on the side also revealed the light of inquiry to the old man, frowned and said: Mage, there is a countermeasure.

Although Shangqing is responsible for the clansmen, taking care of the overall situation, but in the face of this humble life but seeing death is not saved, in his heart is a sad hurdle, from the moment he heard the baby crying, in fact, his heart has already trembled, as if he also took the attention, back to the cave he ordered people to guard the entrance of the cave, let people monitor all the actions in the direction of the cliff mouth, is to discuss this matter with the mage, but the cliff mouth is the most mysterious and most dangerous mountain in the Xuan world, although it can be seen from the stone cave, but it is also separated by a distance, if it is good during the day, but at night when the night fog comes out, nothing can be done, just now he led the people along the mountain road to dig the shortcut, I didn't want to arrive before the night fog came, so I had to retreat to the stone cave, and he was even more panicked at the moment, so he had to ask the mage.

In the face of the patriarch's inquiry, the old man pondered: Don't worry, patriarch, I think the origin of this baby is not simple, it can fall intact in my eastern Xuan Realm, and it is just at the cliff mouth of the top of the mountain, which makes people feel very strange and weird, but it must be a lot of creation, I think he will be able to turn evil into good fortune and escape this catastrophe when he faces this monster, why don't we wait and see the changes for the time being, and wait for the time to move, it is really a last resort, with the Tao of the two of us can also maneuver one or two, the old man is to take this old life and try desperately.

At this time, Na Dongzi stepped forward with a lot of enthusiasm and shouted: Yes, and I, Dongzi, kill it first without leaving a piece of armor.

Shangqing stared at Dongzi, and said: Don't be reckless, let the mage finish speaking.

Dongzi had no choice but to shut up and glared at the old man with wide eyes.

The old man said: The patriarch is right, this operation must not be reckless, Dongzi, you have to remember that everything is only to rescue the child first, and you must not be brave for a moment and ruin the big thing.

At this point, Dongzi just nodded honestly, indicating that he had written it down.

Patriarch Shangqing also echoed: Yes, everything is arranged by the mage.

Then Shangqing said: Without further ado, let's go to the entrance of the cave first to see the situation, and then discuss, and then the three of them went towards the entrance of the cave one after another.
