Chapter 4: The Mystery Man

"Smack!" In a dark purple weird space, a crisp slap sounded, Ji Rumeng was knocked to the ground by a palm fan, she shrunk into a ball, and looked at the person in front of her in fear, no, to be exact, a black shadow nine feet long.

"Lord......" Ji Rumeng's cheeks hurt from this sudden slap, and her stomach was full of grievances, but she only dared to call carefully at the black shadow.

"When did I allow you to do it yourself?!You almost ruined my big deal today!" The dark shadow was furious.

Ji Rumeng unwillingly defended: "Lord, I am also for your good, we finally found her, if you can get her heart, then you can leave this ghost place!"

"If it's that simple, why should I wait so many years, if you're so reckless next time, I won't save you again!" warned.

"Yes...... But just let her go?She is now seventy percent gone, such a good opportunity......" Ji Rumeng obviously refused to give up.

The black shadow sneered twice, and said: "Even if she doesn't have any mana, it won't be your turn to do it!" I just ask you to watch her for me, find a way to get to her, whether you are yourself, or find someone else, in short, lead her out of Zhonghuang Mountain." You don't understand?"

"If you understand the dream, you won't dare to act rashly in the future, please give me another chance. Ji Rumeng got up from the ground, knelt in front of the black shadow, and begged for his forgiveness.

"If you spare your life, don't make a second mistake, all right, go down. ”

Ji Rumeng nodded in fear, and was about to leave, when the voice of the black shadow sounded behind him.

"Wait, is there any news from Lin Ge?"

Ji Rumeng paused, turned around and whispered, "Not yet, please give me a little more time......

The black shadow was silent for a while, and his tone couldn't hear any ups and downs: "Keep looking." ”

After Ji Rumeng left, there was only boundless darkness left in the purple space, and the black shadow gradually revealed a human figure, the black military uniform outlined a tall and long body, the tight waist and abdomen were clasped with a red gold double dragon belt, the slightly curly long hair was faintly close to black red, the pointed ears were wearing two silver earrings, and the earlobe of the left ear was wearing a red earring in the shape of a crescent, which was very bewitching. And a face is even more handsome than ordinary people, but his body exudes a cold aura as strong as this space, which makes people dare not approach easily.

The man picked up the Xun in his hand, put it to his mouth and played it gently, the deep and endless Xun sound echoed in all directions, the sound was sad and quiet, like crying and complaining, but no one listened.

"What are you playing, it's so good!" the girl in purple opened her curious eyes and stared at the instrument in the man's hand.

The man stopped playing and replied, "It's called Xun." ”

"Can you teach me?" the girl was full of anticipation, her aura eyes filled with a desire for something new.

The man glanced at the girl and said mercilessly, "You are so stupid, you can't learn." ”

The girl was not convinced, glared at the man, and said, "Where am I stupid, the master said that I am very smart, and I can understand a little." You see, I don't need any guidance, I can easily come here to see you, and in return for telling you stories these days, do you want to show it?"

"I didn't let you come to see me, you were talking about it yourself. I didn't rush you, it's already the greatest patience. The man's tone was still cold.

But the girl didn't give up, "But didn't you laugh yesterday? Why laugh when it's not good? You can teach me, okay?"

The man didn't promise her, he left on his own, and coldly dropped a sentence: "Don't come back in the future, this is not the place you should come." ”

But the girl did not leave immediately, but followed closely behind the man, and said, "If I don't come, who will talk to you in the future? Who will listen to you play tunes? You are here alone, how lonely!"

The man paused, looked back at the girl for a long time, and then put his hands on his chest, "I don't think so, but you are here, I think it's very noisy." ”

The girl grinned and smug on her face, "Are you bothering me because you didn't eat me like everyone else?"

Although she couldn't see the man's expression, the girl guessed that he must have rolled her eyes, "You are so confident, I just won't do anything to a child, lest I be called a bully." If you grow for a few more years, it will probably become my meal. Go back to your place, this is my last warning. After the man finished speaking, he turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Later, when the girl was 16 years old, the man still did not eat her, and the girl said, "You have broken your promise." I knew you wouldn't hurt me, not before, not now, I don't know in the future, but even if you change your mind, you won't have a chance. I liked a guy who was so nice to me and I probably won't come here again in the future. This time, I want to say goodbye to you and thank you. Thank you for not taking me for all these years, for listening to me for so much, and for being there for me when I was frustrated, thank you very much. Without you, I don't know if I would have been able to make it this far. ”

The man remained silent, and the girl thought he was angry, so she explained apologetically: "You also know that I will consume a lot of energy when I come here, and if he finds out here and knows your existence, it may not be good for you......"

"Let's go, let's go, what are you doing so much, wait until I change my mind and eat you now?" said the man impatiently.

The girl stood behind him, a little hesitant, and the man glanced at her and sneered, "Don't you leave, do you really want to be eaten by me?"

The girl shook her head helplessly.

"Then why don't you go?"

"We've known each other for so long, we've been friends, but I haven't seen your true face yet, are you really just a shadow?"

The man smiled, "Do you think you can touch me?"

The girl plucked up her courage and reached out to touch the man's body, and sure enough, as he said, the girl's hand passed directly through, and she grabbed the black shadow with her hand without being discouraged, but still grasped nothingness.

"Okay. The girl withdrew her hand in disappointment.

The man raised his hand, looked at his palm and said, "There is no substance, no pain, no warmth and cold, I am no different from a wandering spirit." ”

Although the man spoke very plainly, even as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, the girl felt a little sad for him.

"No, you're different from them, you laugh, you get angry, you raise the bar with me, you encourage me, you have so many feelings, how can you be a wandering spirit? In my heart, you're a living person!" said the girl eagerly, as if that would make her feel better.

After hearing this, the man couldn't help laughing and said: "It's so good, but the result is not that your lover abandoned me, it's just that we are not a Taoist person after all." You go, don't come back. ”

"Before I go, I have one more question for you. ”

"What?"

"At the very least, let me know your name, it's not too much. The girl looked eagerly at the shadow in front of her.

"Oh, no one has called me by name for a long time, I have long forgotten. If you really want to ask for a name, you can call me Shadow. Didn't you tell me your name? You always tell me that the world is full of flowers, and when I leave this place one day, I will definitely go to see the prosperity you speak. I'll go to you then, so girl, what's your name?" the man showed some tenderness for the first time.

The girl stuck out her tongue and said, "You are so cunning that you gave me a false title, then, if you give me this thing, I will tell you." The girl pointed to the man's waist and blinked.

The man looked down, a little surprised, "That's what you want?"

"Well, looking at this, I will think of you, although you said that you have long been forgotten by the world, but even if everyone in the world forgets you, I will still remember you!" The girl had a serious expression, and her childish eyes seemed to be full of starlight.

Perhaps wanting to satisfy the girl's simple and simple wishes, the man did not hesitate to give her his only thing, and said: "Well, it's useless for me to keep it, so I'll give it to you, it's worth changing your name ......"

The girl took Xun with a smile on her face, and before she could answer, there was a sudden loud rumbling sound in the distance, shaking the entire space, and the girl couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and this exclamation made the surrounding space distort instantly, and the girl's body became blurred, as if it was about to disappear at any time.

"Something is approaching outside, the space here is becoming very unstable, you hurry up!" the man said, and raised his hand to cast a spell, forcibly sending the girl out of the spatial turbulence.

Vaguely, the man seemed to see the girl's lips squirm, but he couldn't hear it......

After the song is played, he is still the only one left in this world...... No sorrow, no joy, alone.

The man turned his head to look at the side, the figure of the girl in his memory disappeared, and all the past disappeared like a phantom......

Ji Rumeng returned to his cave mansion, sat on the trunk of the tree angrily, kicked his boots at will, and scolded: "I'm really angry, this Ling Huayin, I will be scolded by the lord! One day I will make you kneel under your aunt's skirt and beg for mercy!"

"Yo, my aunt, why are you so angry, who made you angry?" A yin and yang strange voice sounded from the entrance of the cave, and I saw a young Taoist priest walking in slowly, his clothes were very similar to Ling Huayin's, it should be from the same sect of Taoist clothes, but this person's eyes were dark blue, which was a little different from ordinary people. When the man saw the boots on the ground, he hurriedly bent down and picked them up, walked in front of Ji Rumeng, carefully dressed her, and then said with a smile: "I've never seen you like this, could it be that this mission is not going well?"

Ji Rumeng glanced at him and said, "Who is that Ling Huayin of your Xianze Palace, why is her spiritual power so strong? And she still has a helper, so she was almost accepted by her!"

The young man was surprised, "You were originally looking for her! She is the sword elder of Xianze Palace, and she is now cultivating in the Great Wilderness Mountain. If I knew that you were looking for her, I would definitely stop you, she is not easy to mess with, and the disciples are afraid of her. ”

Ji Rumeng picked the corner of her eyes, "Afraid?"

"She is the apprentice brought back by the former head of Xianze Palace, Heng Wei Zhenren, who is very high, and the other elders have to respect her for three points, and she doesn't like to deal with people, but she is ruthless when she punishes people, and the disciples don't dare to get too close to her. ”

"Since she is an elder, why is she not in Xianze Palace, but in the Great Wilderness Mountain?"

"I also heard from other disciples, I heard that decades ago, the Demon Emperor led the demon army to invade Zhonghuang Mountain, stealing the holy relics of the Great Wilderness Map, the head Hengwei Zhenren and Ling Huayin pursued the map thief together, and then not only did not recover the holy relics, Hengwei Zhenren also died, Ling Huayin came back with the corpse of the head of the house to ask for guilt, and volunteered to go to the Great Wilderness Mountain to think for a hundred years, and was responsible for guarding the immortal holy weapon Ink Soul Sword, and never stepped out of the left near the enchantment of Zhonghuang Mountain. ”

Ji Rumeng's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "There is such a thing, no wonder Venerable asked me to lead her away from Zhonghuang Mountain." What will happen if she leaves Zhonghuang Mountain?"

"I don't know much about that. But I can inquire for you. ”

Ji Rumeng smiled and said, "No need, I have my own way, what fun is there to get the news from you." Don't meddle in Ling Huayin's affairs, go find someone for me. ”

"Who are you looking for?" the man looked up at Ji Rumeng.

Ji Rumeng suddenly put away her smile and said listlessly: "Lin Ge, Demon Spirit Lin Ge." I don't know what the Venerable Lord has to do with this Lin Ge, so anxious to find her. Although Ji Rumeng was reluctant, she didn't dare to disobey the lord.
