Black Myth: You and I are both destined

Princess Halloween and Tianming wandered in the valley for a whole day. They saw many stone spirits and also encountered a monster holding a shield and a spear.

After beating him to death, the Shadow God Map said that his name was 'Creepy'.

Their stories were also written in the travel notes.

[The great witches of Dingfeng Manor are all proud warriors. They always like to hold shields with tiger gods painted on them, wield crescent-shaped spears, and shout and scare away ghosts. Especially during funerals, they beat their shields and walk in the front, calling themselves generals who clear the way.

The great witches enjoyed a relatively high status, and even the lesser demons were often rewarded with wild game to ensure their safety and avoid being expelled.

One day, some villagers found that there were many more monsters in the mountains, so they went to consult the witches. The witches said disdainfully: "The monsters live in the same mountain with us, so it is inevitable that we will run into each other. Since they have offered a reward as a guarantee, let's spare them."

A few years later, a strange wind suddenly blew in the mountains, and the demons that had been peaceful became rampant and often caused trouble. The great witches dressed neatly, raised their shields, and rushed out of the village to fight with the troublemakers.

But the monsters were not afraid of them. The spears and shields that the great witches were always proud of could only stop a few small monsters and were soon surrounded. The red-robed rat monster in the lead laughed evilly, "Because the Bodhisattva is practicing in the mountains, I gave you some face before. You mere mortals, don't you really think you have the ability to fight monsters?"

Seeing that the witches were unable to repel the enemy and instead aroused the anger of the demons, the villagers locked the village gates and demanded that the witches drive away the demons before returning.

These great witches finally died in battle in the mountains. Now they are still in fighting postures, looking for trouble everywhere.]

[Human nature is not cold or hot, and the world is not timid. The spear tip is full of vigor, and the shield is cold and proud.]

Three things revealed in this travelogue.

First, there is a little demon king of rats in red robes.

Second, a Bodhisattva who cared about the life and death battle of the human race had come here before.

In the end, Tianming was right. The nature of all living beings in the world is to seek benefits and avoid harm, without exception. Betraying their own people and fighting for spiritual essence is something that can never be changed.

At this moment, two merchants carrying loads on their shoulders came over from the distance.

Tianming recognized them immediately. They were the pair of brothers he met when he first arrived here.

Leaving Princess Halloween behind, Tianming went up to chat with her alone.

"Two travelers, please wait a moment. I want to ask for directions."

The shorter, stockier man turned around, fanned himself twice with a big fan, and said.

"Although you have some skills, it's not safe to be with a young lady in a place like this."

Tianming frowned slightly. He left Princess Halloween far away and did not appear in the sight of the two, but he was discovered.

The tall bearded merchant noticed Tianming's vigilance and tried to smooth things over.

"Don't be afraid, young man. My second brother is just trying to scare you."

"He has a very good nose. You still smell like that little girl's rouge!"

Tianming once again felt the extraordinaryness of the two people.

It would have been fine if they had just relied on the smell of rouge to discover that he was with a woman. They were also very good at reading people's minds, and they could tell at a glance that he had some skills and was definitely not an ordinary businessman.

"I am indeed bringing a woman with me, but we have been wandering around here for a day and can't find a way out. May I ask where this is?"

"Have you been wandering around here all day? You guys are pretty fast!"

The short and fat merchant pointed to the way they came.

"I met you at Yellow Wind Ridge this morning, and now we are at Cangfeng Valley. You are not traveling, you are flying!"

"Zangfeng Valley!" Tianming was surprised and looked around hurriedly.

According to the traveling merchants, they first arrived at Huangfeng Ridge, then went around from Jiaohun Cliff, then to Zhenshiping, and now they have arrived at Cangfeng Valley!

This is the wrong way to go!

"You two, I'm not familiar with this place. Can you tell me how to get to Buji Valley?"

The tall merchant shook his head and looked at the fat merchant.

"Brother, do you know?"

"I just got here, how would I know? But the monsters in this mountain must know. We can find out if we catch one and ask."

Tianming also thought of this method, but the stone monster cannot speak.

"You two, I'm afraid the stone monster here is not a normal monster. It was harmed by a demon and has become unable to speak."

When the fat merchant heard this, he sniffed hard with his big nose.

"Ah! I found it!"

"Young man, look in the direction I'm pointing."

"There's a different stone monster over there. Go and catch it. It will definitely be able to talk."

"Thank you."

Tianming was still preparing to talk to the merchants, but the bearded merchant urged him.

"Second brother, let's go back first. They're going to urge us over there."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Is there someone in front of him who is his father or his mother? Hurry every day!"

The fat merchant followed the tall man back reluctantly, still cursing.

"They hurt their own people, what does it have to do with him? Isn't this like crying over a coffin in your own home?"

"Brother, brother, please stop talking. It will be terrible if someone hears you!"

"Third brother, stop scaring me. The boss is afraid of him because he has thousands of descendants. If he is not careful, they will be affected. I am not afraid of him. There are only a few people in my village!"

……

Tianming silently noted their direction and decided to go back to find them after visiting Buji Valley.

Watching the two people walk away, Princess Halloween came over. She held her left hand and her right hand across her chest, looking a little nervous.

"Holy monk, they both have the aura of my dragon clan."

"Again?" Tianming never guessed in that direction.

“Holy monk, I am not saying that they are from the dragon clan. They are stained with my dragon clan’s aura. As a fellow dragon clan member, I can sense that even if we are hundreds of meters apart.”

"I see. They seemed to be talking about something hurtful just now. After we finish our business, we should go check it out."

Princess Halloween stroked her hair, her eyes sparkling.

"Doesn't the holy monk hate getting involved in trouble? Why would he take the initiative to check on this kind of thing?"

Tianming led the way in front, moving towards the direction of the big monster, and answering the questions of Princess Halloween by the way.

"I'm curious about those two people."

"They can tell there's a monster over there just by smelling it."

"The old monk used the treasures here to lure me here, but his purpose was to let me see the second story. I think it might be related to these two people."

……

The two men passed through the dry and tangled trees and found a mountain stream hidden behind a huge rock.

The sunlight shines through the cracks, dappling on the rocks.

Tianming heard a faint and sad call. The voice seemed to come from the depths of the mountain stream, carrying an irresistible magic.

"Kid, kid!"

"Where are you looking?"

"Come here, come here!"

Tianming turned to look at Princess Halloween, and she nodded to indicate that she had heard it too.

The language coming out of the stone is clearly Chang'an dialect!
