Wearing Books as a Demon

Ying Changlou's frightened heart softened instantly, although he didn't understand what was going on, he hugged the boy tightly, patted him on the back, and said softly, "Don't cry, I've been waiting here for you. "

"Really?" The young man raised his head timidly, tears streaming down his eyes in disbelief, his fragile appearance was very distressing.

Probably because Ying Changlou wanted to protect the other party because he was different from his usual strength and indifference.In the past, he always felt that as a man, it was useless to cry.Seeing Yao Bai's pitiful look now, as if he was afraid of being abandoned by others, he felt a little distressed.

"Really, I know you will definitely come back to me, so I've been waiting here for your return." Ying Changlou repeated it again, with an unprecedented seriousness on his face, and seriousness in his eyes. Convincing power.

Yaobai sniffled and called softly, "A Lou."

The sweet and soft voice made the corners of Ying Changlou's mouth twitch, wanting to change the boy's mouth, and seeing the fragile appearance of the man, he hesitated several times and finally acquiesced to the title temporarily.

Being called a nickname by a boy younger than himself, which is only used by elders, this strange feeling is very awkward and makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Yaobai, you should call me Brother Alou." Seeing that the crying had stopped, Ying Changlou secretly heaved a sigh of relief.After all, I still can't pass the test in my heart, so I carefully put forward a compromise opinion.

"A Lou, you should call me Brother Yao." Yao Bai stood up with a serious face, as if he wasn't the one who was crying just now.

The boy's demeanor changed instantly, faster than his face, and Ying Changlou couldn't react in time.He didn't even know whether he should explain that his brother Yao was just a joke.Judging from the current situation, the boy is serious and feels good, otherwise he wouldn't insist on it.

"I'm older than you..."

Before Ying Changlou could speak, a sword lay across his neck.Yaobai looked down at him coldly, the contempt in his eyes was obvious, and he repeated lightly, "Alou, you should call me Brother Yao."

"..." Ying Changlou wanted to curse.

Today's Yaobai is very wrong, he looks different every now and then, like a schizophrenic, which makes him terrified.

"If you want to scold me, scold me in your heart. If you say it, don't blame my ruthless sword." Yao Bai raised a disdainful arc at the corner of his mouth, and pulled out a beautiful sword flower in his hand.With the sound of the sword swishing, the big tree that Ying Changlou was leaning on fell down in an instant, leaving behind a creaking sound, as if it was complaining of pain.

Being seen through his thoughts, Ying Changlou felt a little embarrassed, and secretly rolled his eyes.Thinking about the age of the person in front of him, he silently consoled himself.

Fifteen or sixteen is the time of rebellious adolescence, Yao Bai's capricious behavior should be caused by youth hormones.After a period of time, when people grow up, they will naturally get better.

Constantly doing self-education, the more Ying Changlou thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he automatically ignored Yaobai's vicious and intimidating aura that didn't fit his innocent age.

"Brother Yao, how far is the ancient sword gate from here?" Calculating the time, they walked for at least an hour and a half.The soles of his feet have already started to feel sore. If he walked with the snake tail, he would definitely not suffer from this pain.

Yao Bai heard the question and looked back.The young man's knees were slightly bent, his hands were on his thighs, and his whole body was arched, as if he was very tired.The road ahead was full of pebbles, which made it even more difficult to walk. Presumably this person couldn't stand it.

"Come here, I'll carry you on my back." Yao Bai put down his sword, knelt on the ground half-kneeled, looked ahead, and kept his back straight.

Ying Changlou's eyes lit up immediately, and he unceremoniously climbed up his back, clung to the person with his limbs, and sighed comfortably, "As expected of a young man, his physical strength is good."

After hearing these harsh compliments, Yao Bai didn't reply.Carrying the person on his back, he walked steadily through the rugged path, then passed through a dense forest, and finally stopped in front of the unforgettable stone steps.

"After walking the 99 steps, you will arrive at the Ancient Sword Gate." Yaobai put the man down and looked into the distance without any disturbance in his eyes.

"It's still so far away?" Ying Changlou felt his legs go weak just looking at it, and sat there unwilling to move, deliberately changing the subject, "We're going home, why aren't you happy?"

"If you want to enter the ancient sword gate, you must walk through these 99 steps." Yao Bai said sternly, ignoring Yu Wai's topic, "No one can help, otherwise both the recipient and the helper will be kicked out. "

Back then, there were no less than a hundred of them participating in the trial, but less than ten of them finally reached the mountain gate.

Some gave up at the beginning, others ignored the rules to be good, and many more gave up hope halfway through.

Either way, there is only one outcome.

was mercilessly turned away.

The little Yaobai saw that there were fewer and fewer people around him, he gritted his teeth, and with hatred in his heart, he was the first to reach the finish line.Obviously his talent and understanding are among the best in that group, but the old man only let him be an outer disciple.

Still the lowest kind.

Every time he thinks of this, Yaobai's heart is filled with anger and unwillingness.

The boy's eyes suddenly became fierce, and there was a bit of twisted madness on his handsome face.

Ying Changlou didn't know what happened, but his intuition was not good.Sure enough, his hunch was right.

"If you can't walk the 99 steps today, you will die." There was no room for negotiation in Yao's vernacular, and there was a piercing coldness in his eyes.Although he looked like a sunny boy, he looked very gloomy and terrifying.

Ying Changlou sighed silently, stood up slowly, and then twisted left and right to move his muscles and bones.

Yao Bai frowned at the ridiculous action, and asked impatiently, "Are you ready?"

"Don't worry." After doing ten leg bends, and doing upright splits for a while, Ying Changlou felt his body move, "Let's go."

Yao Bai walked in front, and Ying Changlou followed behind, panting.As the two walked, it became dark.Ying Changlou's footsteps also became slower and slower, and finally stopped altogether.Then his limbs were wide open, and he lay limp on the stone steps without any image, closed his eyes and began to mutter, "I can't walk anymore."

He thought the young man would say a few words, but he didn't expect the man to stand aside and watch, silent.After a while, I felt someone throw something on my back.Then the boy's cold voice sounded, "The dew is heavy at night, if you don't want to be frozen to death, get up immediately.

Ying Changlou opened one eye and caught a glimpse of the impatience on the boy's face. He pouted secretly, then picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on quickly.

He has learned to be good now, so you don't have to be polite with Yaobai.

When a boy treats someone well, he must enjoy it in time, because the person may change his face in the next second.At least they treat each other with cold eyes, and at worst they draw a sword to threaten.

"After walking for so long, I still can't see the end. I clearly counted that I have already passed level 99, but why am I still halfway up the mountain?" Ying Changlou sat up, shrunk his shoulders and arched his head to look around.There are lush pine trees on both sides of the stone steps, standing tall and straight in the cold wind, with the same arrogance as a boy.

From the outside, the path is hidden in the dense woods, and the path can only be discovered when you are in it.If Gu Jianmen had a little more money, they wouldn't have to build only two feet wide steps.It wasn't enough for him to stretch his legs, barely allowing two people to walk side by side.

Ying Changlou sat for a while, then lay down again, looking up at the sky, his feet trembling non-stop on the steps.

"Don't shake your legs." Yao Bai stood upright at the side, and finally couldn't see the sound to remind him.However, the man didn't stop, so he kicked him over and kicked him sideways.

Ying Changlou was glad that he reacted quickly and grabbed the steps without being kicked down.As soon as he stabilized his body, he turned his head and cursed, "It's so late at night, why are you so nervous?"

Then seeing the opponent's movements, he quickly made a small fuss, "Brother Yao, don't draw your sword."

"Get up and keep going." Yaobai held the sword, urging people to move forward like ducks on the shelf.

Ying Changlou was forced by the opponent's momentum, so he had to continue walking despite the severe cold and hunger.If he had used the body of a snake, he would have slipped through this step long ago.He walked absent-mindedly, but his eyes were not idle, looking around, he found something interesting.

"Brother Yao, what are those glowing things?"

"The fireflies in the ancient sword gate are specially used to monitor people who don't obey the rules. If it flies on you, it proves that you are not qualified to enter." Yao said with displeasure in his vernacular, as if he hated these things.

"No wonder I always feel that there is something nearby during the day. It turns out to be these fireflies." Ying Changlou suddenly realized.

Gu Jianmen doesn't send special people to monitor, but it does these things that are invisible and hard to guard against.Presumably many people think that there is no one to supervise, so they feel that they can ignore the rules and be a good person, but in the end they are rejected for no reason.

what a pity.

Ying Changlou sighed and shook his head, making tsk tsk tsk sounds.

"Instead of sympathizing with others, it's better to think about whether you can pass this test yourself." Yao Bai said, with worry and concern in his eyes.It's a pity that Ying Changlou was in front of him, so he couldn't see this scene, only heard the sarcastic voice.

"Even if I climb, I can climb up." Ying Changlou was so irritated that he walked forward more than ten steps in one go, and finally saw a roof, so he shouted excitedly, "I see the house."

He lost his composure in joy, as if he was entering the city for the first time.Speaking of which, he has not actually seen much of the world. He has been practicing calligraphy on the top of the mountain for ten years, and he has not had much contact with this world.

"Just go a little further." Yao Bai heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and then said coldly, "Give me back my clothes."

"What?" Ying Zhang downstairs consciously hugged himself tightly, as if he was unwilling to return it to the death.

Then Yaobai drew out his sword, and he automatically took off his clothes, standing shivering in the cold wind.
