As darkness approached, the daylight dimmed, the green forest around the vines faded away, and the darkness of the night was about to envelop the entire sky without warning.

In this vast wild mountain and wild forest, although there are beautiful mountains and rivers, clouds and mist peaks, but I don't know that this is only a scene of the day, and when the night comes, this scene changes, and the whole thing and scenery will lose its brilliance and vitality.

A thick fog and blood will come in the night, and the night will be filled with strange screams that will pierce the bones and shiver like the ghosts of demons in hell, and it will invade the whole land.

"Let's go, the things in this fog must be coming out", a middle-aged man shouted with a panicked expression, 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 shouted to everyone again: "Everyone put out the torches in their hands, follow the plank road, and quickly withdraw to the stone cave, and today's task will be canceled." ”

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

The young man who spoke was named Shen Ling, with a straightforward temperament, a big personality, full of fierceness and wildness, in the clan, everyone called him Shen Ling, in the face of the patriarch's order, he put forward a challenge, and now he is looking at the patriarch with anticipation.

The middle-aged man's eyes sharpened, and he said sharply: "Nonsense," and then changed his tone and said: "Shen Ling, 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, 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.

At the suggestion of the old man, the middle-aged man and everyone vaguely heard the baby's cry, the sound came from the direction of the mouth, the immature cry seemed to be getting louder and louder, and everyone's faces became more and more dull, showing a trace of scoundrel, but they did not stop evacuating, because they knew very well how dangerous the things in the night were, and they also knew 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 make an ambush for the time being, 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, and the old man has to focus on the overall situation. ”

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 turned out that this middle-aged man's name was Shangqing, he was the patriarch of the Xuan clan, and he had led the Xuan clan to resist demons in this Eastern Xuan Realm for decades.

When was the Xuan clan born, no one knows, only knows that the times are long, and there are any strange people in the Xuan clan, it is the gathering place of all living beings, it is strange to say, there have always been evil spirits and monsters in the Xuan world, not legends, but facts, when night falls, as long as the fog is thick, it must be when this monster is infested, these fierce spirits and monsters devour all living beings, flooding the entire earth, but they are afraid of a boulder.

The boulder is engraved with a mysterious symbol, so that the monster in the night does not dare to approach, saying that it is a symbol but more like words, so far it is also a mystery, until the appearance of an old man, only to understand a little bit of the mystery of this symbol, the old man is nameless, white-haired crane, can understand the benevolence of heaven and earth, is a master of cultivation.

Under his leadership, there is the origin of the Xuan clan and the stone cave, and then the boulder comes from the east, and there is a name for the East Xuan Realm, and the old man has become the founder of the Xuan clan.

Therefore, the clansmen rely on this way of Xuanmen, temporarily able to deal with the monsters in the fog, but they have never been able to surrender it, but they can rely on the protection of the stone cave, in order to pass it on from generation to generation, this middle-aged man Shangqing is the patriarch of the Xuan people 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 that the monster in the fog has to retreat to the stone cave first, and then wait for the opportunity.

The night with the stars turned lifeless in an instant, and such a solemn and tense atmosphere was not the first time for the people of the clan, but today, this heavy and complicated heart seemed to be engraved on everyone's faces, making everyone silent.

Not long after, under the leadership of Shangqing, everyone withdrew to the stone cave, and once Shangqing returned to the cave, he arranged for the good hands of the clan to guard the entrance of the cave in case of accidents. ”

Several young and strong young men led the way to the entrance of the cave, but a tall young man rushed to the front eagerly, and as soon as he took a few steps, he was shouted by Shangqing: "Shen Ling, you stay." ”

The young man who was stopped was Shen Ling before, 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.

Shen Ling's face was full of depression, and he stepped forward and said: "Patriarch, you just let me Shen Ling go too, I promise not to take half a step out of the stone cave, you let them go, let me be idle, I, I feel itchy 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." ”

Patriarch Shangqing knew Shen Ling's character very well, and he was afraid that he would be eager to make meritorious contributions and be able to do it for a while, so he went alone to save the baby at the mouth of the cliff, once something went wrong, how could he explain to the clansmen, as the patriarch, he had to think about it thoroughly.

The old man on the side showed deep thought, and also came over to pat Shen Ling 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..." ”

The three of them were silent for a while, and both Shangqing and Shen Ling knew the meaning of the old man's words.

In the silence, Shen Ling suddenly had an inexplicable sadness and indignation, he had a simple brain, although his personality was arrogant, 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 it, we will watch him being eaten by monsters, you don't care, but I, Shen Ling, 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 Shen Ling, who was being held in place by him, with a slight anger on his face, and said in a deep voice: "You think that you Shen Ling have a good heart and can save people, and other people's hearts are iron and stone, when do we say it doesn't matter, you are angry, you let me say that you Shen Ling is good, you can't change your temperament, don't give me back." ”

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

He said to the old man again: "Uncle Xuanying, you are resourceful, there must be a way, right?"

The old man, known as Xuanying, didn't get angry with this Shen Ling, 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, and frowned: "Mage, there is a countermeasure." ”

Although Shangqing is responsible for the clansmen and takes into account the overall situation, but in the face of this humble life, he will not be saved, this is a sad hurdle in his heart, from the moment he heard the baby crying, in fact, his heart has already trembled, as if he had also paid attention, and when he returned to the cave, he ordered someone to guard the entrance of the cave, and let people monitor all the actions of the cliff mouth, which was to discuss this matter with the mage.

Facing 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 into my Eastern Xuan Realm, 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, we still wait and see what happens, and wait for the opportunity to move. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Ling stepped forward with a lot of enthusiasm and shouted: "Yes, there is also me Shen Ling, kill it first and leave no piece of armor." ”

Shangqing stared at Shen Ling, and said with a straight face: "Don't be reckless, let the mage finish speaking." ”

Shen Ling 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, Shen Ling, you have to remember that everything is only to rescue that child first, and you must not be brave for a moment and ruin a big thing." ”

Shen Ling had to nod honestly, indicating that he had written it down.

Patriarch Shangqing also chimed in: "Yes, everything is arranged by the mage. ”

Then the old man 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." ”
