100,000 mountains, ancient caves to suppress demons.

After the resurrection of the beast demon, the scene of the ancient cave of demon suppression is very different from the appearance of the black clouds pressing down and the yīn wind whistling before, although the sky is still dark, but the black gas gathered at the entrance of the cave has dissipated, and the yīn wind that blows out from the ancient cave all year round has also disappeared without a trace.

In addition to the mountains that were still barren, only the stone statue woman standing at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave was still standing there rain or shine. And in front of it, dressed in bright silk clothes, was actually an extremely handsome young man, and it could even be said that he had a hint of charm.

On a face that is fairer than an ordinary woman, with thin eyebrows and eyes, thin lips and pointed jaws, if you look closely, this face is faintly similar to the stone statue woman.

It's just that the temperament of the faces of the two people is completely different!

This young man is the beast demon who was resurrected from the ancient cave of demon suppression, no one could have imagined that the demon that frightened countless people in southern Xinjiang was such a handsome young man.

From the day of his resurrection, for some reason, he did nothing, neither killing nor roaring in ecstasy, but just stood silently in front of the stone statue of the delicate shrine maiden, staring in silence.

A dark shadow flashed, and the lich floated silently from a distance, behind the boy.

"Lord Beast God. ”

The young man remained motionless, did not look back, and said, "How is it?"

The lich stared at his back and said, "The Thirteen Demon Kings have subdued all the remaining barbarians in the 100,000 Great Mountains and obeyed the orders of the Beast God together. ”

The young man's body moved, slowly turned around, and said lightly: "How many clans are left?"

The lich said, "There are only thirty-seven now. In the past 100 years, the dragons in the 100,000 mountains have no leader, and the barbarian tribes have killed each other, and many tribes have been wiped out. ”

The young man smiled coldly, and there was no disappointment on his face, but on the contrary, there was a sense of rebellion that emanated faintly from the depths of his heart, and his gaze was like lightning, and he turned around the black veiled face of the lich.

The lich suddenly felt as if his face had been burned by flames.

"Actually, it should be from the Thirty-Eight Clans," the young man said leisurely, "Isn't there still you, the last descendant of the Black Witch Clan!"

The lich bowed his head, silent.

The young man slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on the face of the stone statue of the Linglong Witch again, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Kuroki." ”

The lich's body shook, and the name seemed to him like a wound carved into his heart, and every time he called, he would be hurt once.

I only heard the young man staring at the Linglong stone statue, and suddenly there was a little more vicissitudes in his tone, and said: "After so many years, in front of Linglong, have you ever regretted it in your heart?"

The lich was silent for a long time before whispering, "Yes." ”

The young man didn't look back, a pair of eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said quietly: "In this world, except for your eldest brother who has become a fierce spirit, only you know the relationship between me and Linglong." Back then, a group of eight of you chased me through thousands of mountains and rivers, and now that I think about it, it seems like it was just yesterday. ”

The body under the black veil of the lich suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if he remembered the past vividly.

It's just that the young man didn't pay attention to the lich's reaction at all, and what he said was not so much to the lich as to the stone statue to whisper to himself, and in his eyes, there was only the stone statue of the delicate witch at the moment.

"You," his voice slowly revealed a bit of sadness, a bit of sadness, and a bit of indignation, "what are you for?"

The statue was speechless and stood silent.

"In your heart, what kind of worldly beings, what destiny creation, are all so important?" The young man's voice suddenly became a little excited, and slowly became louder.

"If you think those are heavier than me, so you want to get rid of me, right?" The expression on the young man's face appeared with a strange and cold smile in it, "But you know what, I don't care at all!"

"What bullshit providence, what beings in the world, what is that?" His expression became more and more poignant, and the strange thing was that although the expression in his eyes was extremely terrifying, his appearance became more and more bewitching and beautiful, almost not like ordinary people.

"You want me to die, just say a word, you know? You know?" he snarled at the stone woman, and then, slowly, his voice fell,

"But why...... You actually see those things as more important than yourself, more than your own life......"

Slowly, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the face that had been eroded by countless years of wind and frost and gradually roughened, and brushed the once gentle face in his deep memory!

The cold feeling, without a trace of warmth, slowly came from the palm of the hand.

He opened his arms and hugged him gently, holding the stone statue in his arms, and the young man's expression gradually turned into a strange gentleness. The lich stood behind, silently watching the eerie scene.

"I know that it was the people of the world who harmed you. The young man half-closed his eyes and said softly like a dream, "Don't worry, I will let all the Yiqiē come to your funeral, and then I will come to you again......"

"You're waiting for me......"

The low voice quietly fell and finally disappeared. The bewitching boy hugged the cold stone statue, the black-clad lich stood tall, the dark clouds in the sky thundered, and raindrops fell from the sky.

The rain fell in the wind, turning the world into a hazy one, and faintly, the lich looked at it in a daze, and the raindrops fell on the face of the stone woman, and slipped silently.

Like tears!

※※※

Three thousand miles east of Qingyun Mountain, by the ancient road that extends from Kongsang Mountain to the southeast, the lonely wilderness is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies.

The small shop of the He family, which is one rì away from Xiaochi Town, is also the same as in the past, standing alone beside the ancient road, welcoming passing travelers. Boss He, the owner of the small shop, naturally doesn't remember how many customers he greeted and sent away, and the people passing by naturally looked like anything. But in the course of three days, he became sure that, despite his age, he would remember such a guest.

In fact, it is not very accurate to say that it is a guest, in fact, it should be a guest with a strange monkey. And for Boss He, what impressed him was that the strange-looking monkey with three eyes had a bigger effect.

Three years ago, Boss He, who was standing outside the store next to the ancient road to solicit customers, saw this dusty-faced man walking from the ancient road, with a three-eyed monkey lying on his shoulder, and somehow, he felt a little familiar. At that time, he stepped forward, and wanted to say that he would pull the guest into the small shop to rest for a while, but he only said one sentence:

"Guest, there is hot tea and wine in our store, why don't you go inside and rest......"

Before the words could be spoken, the man who looked very haggard suddenly disappeared from his eyes, and the next moment, when Boss He came back to his senses, the man was already sitting at the wooden table in his small shop. And on the table, there was a silver ingot, enough to eat and drink three rì in this small shop.

Boss He was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly served wine and food, but to his surprise, this guest and this monkey really stayed in his small shop for three nights, and until today, it seems that there is no intention of going on the road.

The man's jīng god was obviously very bad, and between the three of them, Boss He didn't even see him say a word or laugh once. Every time he brought the food to the table, the man just looked at the flask silently, and then drank slowly.

It's just that the amount of alcohol this guest officer seems to be extremely poor, every time he drinks a little, Boss He estimates in his heart that it is less than half a pot, and the whole person falls on the wine table, unconscious. Contrary to the owner, the three-eyed monkey brought by this man made Boss He stunned in surprise.

To be honest, Boss He opened a store here, although the place is remote, but because there are many merchants in the past, he can be regarded as a somewhat knowledgeable person, but in the past three days, he has sworn countless times in his heart that he has really seen the monkey who can drink the most and drinks the most in his life.

It was just a night's work, and all the fine wine in Boss He's shop, including a jar of daughter's red liquor that he hid under the old locust tree behind the shop, was drunk by this monkey.

And this monkey is obviously still looking unfinished, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking around, jumping for a long time, and "squeaking" at Boss He. Although Boss He doesn't understand monkey language, a fool can also see the meaning of this monkey, and he didn't pay attention to it, but unexpectedly, this monkey was as clever as a ghost, and actually secretly stole the silver that Boss He put away, and dangled it in front of Boss He.

Boss He was helpless, not to mention that others had already paid enough money, so he had to send a guy to deliver wine here overnight from Xiaochi Town. At first, he was quite annoyed, but after a while, he gradually fell in love with the monkey. And this three-eyed monkey in addition to loving to drink, but also has no other bad places, but often in the store to play and frolic, when the mood is good, even play a few juggling, such as out of thin air can give birth to a bunch of flames in the hand of things, not only Boss He's eyes straightened, the other merchants who passed by, all of them were elated, and stayed in Boss He's store for a long time, so that he earned more silver.

And the owner of the gray-haired three-eyed monkey, but the lively monkey diametrically opposite, most of the time is drunk servant sleeping, occasionally waking up, but only looking around with blank eyes, occasionally the monkey runs back to the side, his eyes are a little bright, lazily stretched out his hand to touch the monkey's head, and then seemed to think of something sad, picked up the flask and drank again, after a while, then indulged in sleep again.

Sometimes Boss He also secretly thinks that this man should not be a madman. It's just that although he is just an ordinary shopkeeper, he still feels that this man is different from other passers-by. Not to mention anything else, the three rì that the man stayed in this small shop, the most mosquitoes at this time of year, suddenly disappeared, and even more, every night in the middle of the night, the sound of ghosts crying that often echoed in the wilderness of the ancient road outside the small shop disappeared as if he was frightened by something. So much so that Boss He was used to hearing these ghosts crying wolf, and suddenly it was so quiet in these three rì that he couldn't sleep.

At dusk, Boss He stood behind the counter of the small shop, closed the account book that had just been calculated, and sighed. Then he looked into his shop.

Outside the window, the remnant sun and the faint afterglow of the sunset in the west illuminated the sky, and at the same time, it also shone in from the window of the small shop, stretching the tables and chairs here and reflecting them on the ground, as if time was also quietly passing by here.

Boss He's mood suddenly changed a little, and he was confused for a while, even if he was over fifty. Although the guy who helped always said that he looked only about forty, he knew that his body was still gradually failing.

The years are not forgiving, so just live a lifetime?

He stared at the shadows of the ever-lengthening tables and chairs on the floor, and when he looked up, he saw the mottled marks on the four walls of the small shop.

The lonely remnant sun, shining on his face, has a bit of inexplicable vicissitudes of life.

He sighed and shook his head, don't think about these things. Boss He smiled bitterly, picked up the ledger and walked towards the only customer in the small shop and his monkey at the moment.

The guest was always sitting at the very back table, and at the moment, as usual, was drunk and unmoving. And his monkey squatted on the table, holding a wine jug in his left hand, and grabbing the delicacy from several plates containing dishes on the table with his right hand.

Boss He walked up to the guest, coughed, and cleared his throat, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the monkey first, only to see that the three-eyed monkey obviously didn't care about his arrival, only glanced at him, and then focused on the wine jug in his hand. Boss He sighed, this monkey is really the only animal he has seen in his life who is so addicted to alcohol, and he sees that it is carrying a big wine bag on its back, although it has dried up, but it can be imagined what it is inside.

Boss He retracted his gaze, but somehow, he was a little nervous in his heart, even he couldn't say it clearly, and coughed a few more times before he said cautiously: "This ...... Sir. ”

The man in front of him didn't move.

Boss He was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "Uh, guest officer, that's the case, the ingot silver you paid three years ago has now been used up, and the store has a small profit, isn't it ......?"

The man didn't know if he was really drunk, but he lay there, but there was still no movement.

Boss He sighed and said, "Actually, the ingot of silver you paid is indeed a lot, not to mention eating three rì in the small shop, even if you eat five rì, it is enough." It's just that...... It's just that the expensive animal is too powerful, and the amount of wine is too large, and only these three rì efforts have drunk all the wine stored in the small shop, not to mention, and the four jars of wine sent by the other people in two times have actually been drunk by it......"

When Boss He said this, he looked at the monkey three more times, but saw the monkey glaring at him and grimacing.

Boss He said in a low voice: "Can you please pay some more silver, uh, by the way, the ingot of silver you paid three years ago was stolen by the precious animal, and it has not been returned so far, I ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "ding" sound, and a silver ingot jumped twice on the table and appeared in front of Boss He. Boss He looked at it, but the monkey didn't know where he took out the silver stolen by the ingot and threw it in his face.

Boss He hurriedly put it away and received it in his arms, but hesitated for a moment, glanced at the monkey, took out the silver again, opened the placket, and put it in his underwear.

Just as he had collected the money and was about to speak to the man again, a voice suddenly came from the door of the shop:

"Is anyone there?"

Boss He was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw three people standing at the door, two men and one woman, led by an old man, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, with a white cloth hanging on it, and the words "immortals guiding the way" written on it; beside him, there was a girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful face and a smile on her face.

These two people, the old one is the fairy wind bones, and the few are beautiful and delicate, and behind these two people, there is a middle-aged man standing, holding all the packages, but he is born strangely, his body is more than a head taller than the previous two, but his face is like a wild dog, and he is disgusted.

Boss He hurriedly greeted him, after all, it was obviously impossible for the guests with monkeys to sneak away, so it was better to greet the guests who had just arrived first. I saw him greet him and smile: "Yes, yes, three guest officers, may I ask if you are going to eat or stay in the hotel?"

The old man at the head smiled, squinted his eyes and smiled: "What, Boss He, don't you know us?"

Boss He was stunned, and carefully looked at the old man for a while, but he couldn't remember that he was doing business on the side of this ancient road, and there were so many passers-by in the past, how could he remember them one by one, so he had to shake his head in embarrassment, and said: "I'm sorry, guest officer, I'm getting older, and I can't remember xìng." ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity, most of the mortals in the world are like this, there is a fairy fate in front of them, but there is no discernment to know." ”

Boss He was shocked in his heart, and he was a little in awe, and looked at the old man carefully, only to see that his white beard was fluttering, and he was a crane bone fairy wind, most of whom were masters of Taoism. Although he didn't know why the master looked like a gentleman, and the girl next to the old man looked disapproving, but he thought that since he was a master, he naturally couldn't understand it to mortals like himself.

Thinking of this, Boss He already had a little more respect on his face, and said respectfully: "Yes, yes, this guest officer...... No, master inside please. ”

The old man agreed, and swaggered in with the bamboo pole of the immortal guiding the way, and the girl behind him shook her head with a wry smile, turned her head to the man behind him with the package and said:

"Wild Dog Daoist, let's go in and rest for a while. ”

The man answered, and followed, and the three of them sat down at a table, and the dog-faced man wrapped his body on the chair next to him, making a "bang" sound, which seemed to be not light.

These three people are naturally Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan's grandson, and as for the dog-faced man, he is the only remaining wild dog Taoist in the Blood Refining Hall. Since the end of the Battle of Death, the Wild Dog Daoist has followed Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan to wander the world and make the four seas their home.

At the beginning, Zhou Zhou Xian didn't like the wild dogs, and he picked the wild dogs for three days, and he made sarcastic remarks from time to time, and the wild dog Taoist somehow, as if he had changed his mind and changed his face again, he actually listened to it and followed it all the way, and Xiaohuan was kind-hearted, couldn't see it, and had a lot of words to defend.

Although she is young, she has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, even though Zhou Zhou Xian is an old Jianghu, she is often speechless, and finally has to accept this fact. Fortunately, after a long time, he gradually discovered that wild dogs are not useless, such as the heavy packages that he usually needs to carry, but now he can throw them all to this "coolie", and the "coolie" in Xiaohuan's slightly apologetic eyes, there is not the slightest disgust, but a very happy look.

As for other benefits, such as walking in the wild and encountering wild beasts, walking to see ghosts, crossing the mountains and meeting strongmen, etc., etc., naturally this wild dog "hero" was also sent to settle down, all the way down, Zhou Zhou Xian only felt extremely comfortable, the end of the world has walked a lifetime, and has never been as comfortable as these few months, hating only to hate not to meet the wild dog earlier.

During this time, the three of them revisited their hometown, anyway, they were wandering the world, they could go anywhere, and they walked back to this ancient road. It's also a shame that Zhou Zhou Xian is like a jīng ghost, and he still remembers that Boss He, a person who opened a small shop on the side of the road, came up and pretended to be a master, and Boss He was shocked.

Seeing that Boss He must be respectful to himself, Zhou Xianda was proud, and ordered a few dishes in a big way, and when Boss He walked away quickly to prepare, he turned around and bragged to Xiaohuan and the Wild Dog Daoist, but suddenly saw that Xiaohuan and the Wild Dog Daoist had an incredible expression on their faces for some reason, and their eyes were straight to the ground.

Zhou Xianqi said: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The Wild Dog Daoist raised his arm, which seemed to be a little heavy, and pointed to the depths of the small shop: "See for yourself." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian glared at him, turned his head to look, and suddenly his body was also shocked.

In the afterglow of the twilight sun, the last rays of light fell from the window, and in the dim corner of the deep shop, there was a figure of a man, and above the table, in the shadow of yīn, a three-eyed monkey was looking at them.

Xiaohuan was stunned and shouted in a low voice:

"Ash?"

，
