The stars in the sky reflected the earth, and the moonlight rained down a silvery gray frost on the earth.

A thinly dressed young man walked down the mountain with a bundle of firewood on his back.

Behind him are endless mountain ranges, and the endless roar of tigers and apes from the mountains always reminds the boy that he should go faster.

The boy tightened his clothes, and his pace couldn't help but quicken. Listening to the older generation, there are not only ordinary fierce beasts in the Tianlan Mountains, but also legendary demon beasts. It is said that each one can turn over the river and the sea, chase the stars and the moon, which is not at all imaginable by ordinary people.

Of course, the boy didn't believe it. Not to mention anything else, I make a living by chopping wood in this mountain range, and I have seen a lot of tigers and leopards. I haven't seen a single of those legendary monsters.

Even so, the boy trotted up. It's already night, and even if there are no legendary monsters, a leopard or something like that will be doomed. Strange to say, these fierce beasts have been listless these days. During the day, you can make a trap to catch one or two, but only at night. It was as if their strength would all be doubled, and the spirit was unusually vigorous. And as if on patrol. I've been walking around this mountain forest. Sometimes they can be seen outside the mountains and forests, and more than once, I have seen tigers, and leopards have seen each other on the ground and then walked away as if they had nothing to do, as if those fierce beasts were living in peace. This strange thing happened right in front of my eyes. After being surprised, I can't help but think of the legends handed down by the older generation from time to time.

The strength of those demon beasts, as well as those legendary immortals. I can't help but be fascinated.

Shaking his head, I don't think about it anymore. It's better to go back quickly, go back early, and have time to review the article taught by the old master yesterday after dinner. Compared to those legends, it's still the current life that matters. I have always been a good student in the village private school. You must study hard, and you will also go to the imperial capital in the future. Go and take the exam and come back. When the title of the gold list is reached, he will be a horse stepping on mountains and rivers. A glance at the scenery of various places can make this trip worthwhile. Thinking of this, the young man Tianhe couldn't help but hehe twice, and then looked around. I hope no one will see the scene of the future champion smirking. But apparently, he was overthinking it.

At this time, this location. Not to mention people, there are not a few ghosts. However, when he subconsciously turned his head behind him, the whole person froze there. His eyes widened, and his mouth opened involuntarily. His eyes were filled with a blinding glare of bright light, and his eyes were already in tears because he couldn't stand it. He was still reluctant to close his eyes, because he saw a demon beast, it should be a demon beast! The demon beast had four legs, but the legs were covered with a layer of scales, shining in the moonlight, and the smell of pig iron was terrifying. He had a pair of antlers on his head and a horse-like face. The hair on its body rolled down like a black waterfall, but the tail behind its ass twitched back and forth like an iron whip, harvesting stubble after stubble of grass beneath it. In the center of the two horns on the top of the head, there is a diamond-shaped diamond-shaped crystal. It was it that emitted a blinding glare of light. It's just that it's just too small. It is only as tall as Tianhe's knee, and the length is no more than Tianhe's leg, only a little more than twenty centimeters. It's not much bigger than the little dirt dog in the village. Tianhe's tearful eyes flashed with an inexplicable look.

"Whew"

A childish roar with horror came from the mouth of the little beast.

It turned out that Tianhe grabbed the diamond-shaped crystal between the two horns of the little beast.

"Hey, hey, hey"

Unlike the little demon beast's fright, Tianhe is very happy now. I didn't expect to go back, and there would be unexpected gains. As for why this little beast looks like this? Tianhe doesn't care about this. Even if you're a legendary monster, you're so short.

"Hey, hey!"

Who's afraid of whom, it's not certain.

However, he obviously underestimated the strength of this strange little beast, Tianhe had already used all his strength, not only was this strange little beast not pulled by Tianhe, but with the resistance of the strange little beast, Tianhe obviously felt a little unsupportable.

"No, I'm going to be dragged here by this little thing if I continue like this. It looks so strange, nine times out of ten it is a legendary demon beast, and it looks like a juvenile at first glance. Who knows if its parents are nearby, if two adult monsters see that they are bullying their young sons. .... Forehead..... It doesn't feel good!"

After making up his mind, Tianhe immediately let go of his hand and glanced at the diamond-shaped crystal between the two horns of the strange beast with nostalgia. Turn around and run.

Speaking of it for a long time, it was actually just Tianhe's brain spinning. And after losing the pull of Tianhe, the strange little beast couldn't retract its strength and sat on the ground. The small eyes clearly reveal anthropomorphic confusion. After being stunned for a moment, he raised his front paws like a kitten raised at home and wiped his face. He stood up slowly, sniffed on the ground, and walked down in the direction where Tianhe had run. Wait until Tianhe and the strange little beast have left one after another. Suddenly, where Tianhe was standing just now, a gust of wind blew. After the wind ended, a pair of middle-aged men and women appeared in place. The man had a resolute face, wore a dark robe, and carried a long sword at his waist. The woman's face was gorgeous, with only a hairpin on her head, and there were no other accessories on her body, wearing a long green dress, and a small three-legged stove floating in her hand, and sometimes a trace of cyan flame could be seen flashing in the woman's hand.

"Senior Brother Li, why didn't you let me touch that child?"

The female monk turned her head in surprise to look at the male monk standing beside her.

"It's useless to touch him, but it will startle the snake. Mortals don't know us and other cultivators, let alone what Taoist treasures are. Although this son has the breath of the wind bead on his body, Lin Ma did not entangle him too much, and your wind disk did not move. Apparently he had only come into contact with this treasure, or with people associated with it. All we need to do is follow them and find someone with the Wind Bead. Then fulfill the wish of the master back then. ”

As he spoke, there was a strong glint in the male monk's eyes, as did the female nun beside him.

Under the cold moonlight, Tianhe hurried to the village with firewood on his back, and then crossed a mountain and returned to the village. Tianhe just wanted to rush back as soon as possible now, he didn't feel anything when he grabbed the beads of the strange little beast just now, and now he felt a little afraid. It's really a touching fortune, just a bead makes yourself evil to the side of the guts, it looks so strange, it must be a legendary demon beast, and he dares to rob the demon beast. Tianhe couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, patted his chest with his hand, and walked a little faster.

"Senior Brother Li, look at the direction of this kid's journey, his destination should be the village ahead, you and Linma follow behind him, how about the little sister go in first to investigate?"

A man and a woman appeared in the sky, and it was the two strange people who had just appeared.

"Okay, junior sister, you go first, and I'll arrive later. ”

In the blink of an eye, there was only that Senior Brother Li left in the sky. I saw that Senior Brother Li's eyes flashed, as if he had made some decision, and disappeared.

With a creak, Tianhe pushed open the dilapidated door.

"Grandpa Zhang, I'm back. ”

Tianhe shouted towards the house, and he didn't care when he heard that there was no response from the house. After putting the firewood in the fire room, he began to cook, and by the time Tianhe had cleaned everything up, it was already late at night.

"Grandpa Zhang, it's time to eat. ”

Tianhe went to the courtyard and shouted, then went back to the fire room to serve dishes and chopsticks. After Tianhe took out the porridge and chopsticks, there was still no movement in the house. Tianhe couldn't help but be surprised.

"Grandpa Zhang?"

There was still no reaction in the house, what was the situation? Did Grandpa Zhang sleep? Tianhe thought to himself. No, because in the past, he would come out after he had prepared a meal and called him, and then helped him review his textbook after eating, which has not changed in the past few years. Thinking about it, Tianhe moved to the door of the house. I knocked on the door, but it was still pitch black. Tianhe pushed lightly, only to hear a squeak, and the door opened. Tianhe stepped into the house and shouted in a low voice: "Grandpa Zhang?" and then Tianhe looked sluggish.

Because there was no one in the house at all, Grandpa Zhang also left. Gone, all gone. Tianhe's tears flowed involuntarily, since his parents left, he has followed Grandpa Zhang for five years now, from the beginning Grandpa Zhang took himself to the Houshan Mountains to chop firewood to now he can be self-reliant. It's been so long, I didn't expect Grandpa Zhang to disappear all of a sudden. Tianhe never thought that Grandpa Zhang would go to other villagers' homes, this is impossible. Since I followed Grandpa Zhang, I haven't seen him go out for two years. Thinking of this, Tianhe was at a loss for a while, and his stomach, which had just felt unbearable hunger, didn't seem to be hungry anymore. By the moonlight Tianhe climbed onto the straw mat in a daze, and soon the voice of the young man in his sleep came:

"Grandpa. ”

I saw that two crystal tears crossed Tianhe's face, leaving two tear stains on his face.

After a long period of exertion and such a heavy blow, Tianhe's thin body finally couldn't resist, his body exuded amazing heat, and he had a fever!

The desolation outside the style of the late night was bleak and violent, and two strange figures suddenly appeared outside the door of Tianhe, one large and one small. It was the monk surnamed Li and the strange little beast known as the Lin Horse. But at this moment, the bead between the two horns of the horse's head trembled, as if it had encountered something that made it very excited. The monk surnamed Li couldn't help but get excited when he looked at Lin Ma's strange appearance. Immediately, he turned his gaze to the room, and immediately frowned. He had seen the child in the house, and he had not found the Wind Bead on his body, but when he appeared here at this time, it was obvious that he had a good relationship with the owner of the Wind Bead, or that the child was the owner of the Wind Bead? But none of this is that important, just wake this kid up.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the monk surnamed Li frowned, his eyes turned to a piece of paper on the corner of the table next to the door, and he didn't see any movement before he saw the paper fly, and the paper was painted with an old man and his beads that cherished life, the monk surnamed Li flashed in his eyes, stretched out his hand and shook it forward, and saw the Tianhe floating in the air. Then he reached out and wiped it on his waist, and a pill bottle appeared in his hand, and then he took out a dark green pill from it and put it in Tianhe's mouth. Then you can feel that the heat in Tianhe's body is rapidly subsiding. Then he saw Tianhe's body standing upright, and Tianhe rubbed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw a middle-aged man in a dark robe and the strange little beast beside him, and after being stunned for a moment, before he could react, he heard the middle-aged man ask, "Do you know the person on this portrait and this bead?"

"The portrait is of my grandfather, and the bead he regards as life has always been in his arms. It's just that 、、、 grandpa is gone. ”

Tianhe said in a deep voice.
