Roster of Demons

"Hmm..." Gu Zhen rubbed his chin, "You think, if I go to find Little Crow, will I offend his brother?"

The tortoise boy showed a terrified expression: "Don't be overthinking it. He will eat little monsters and children. If he is an adult, he will beat him to death if he is happy, and torture him to death if he is not happy."

Gu Zhen couldn't help shivering: "... Where did you get the news from?"

"Everything uploaded on the forum is going crazy!" Said the tortoise seriously.

"I think," Gu Zhen said, "it's better to stop visiting that non-mainstream forum of yours. Give me the addresses of their brothers."

Tortoise Boy didn't even think about it: "I don't."

Gu Zhen didn't believe it: "Do you not know or don't want to say?"

"I don't know." said the tortoise boy.

"Okay." Gu Zhen patted his butt and got up, "Anyway, the little crow won't come back for a while, I'll go and change the wifi password first, the speed will not work if there are too many users..."

"The top of Tianyin Mountain on the other side of Yuanshan Lake." Guizi said quickly, "I have seen monsters in that area and it was uploaded on the forum. I don't know if it's true or not, that's all I know about it, Brother Miscellaneous Mao."

"Tianyin Mountain, right?" Gu Zhen nodded, "It's better to say no. I'm leaving, you can climb back slowly by yourself."

"Don't change the password, Brother Miscellaneous!" said the tortoise boy.

Early the next morning, Gu Zhen turned on the navigation and located the address at the foot of Tianyin Mountain.

Tianyin Mountain is a scenic spot in Yanyang City. There is a temple at the foot of the mountain, which is full of incense all the year round.Going further, there is a group of unknown hills, and there are other temples built on each hill, and there are always five or six temples in total.

Gu Zhen bought a ticket to enter the mountain, and walked all the way in along the mountain path.

It is strange to say that the temples at the foot of the mountain are full of incense, but the temples on the top of the hill are very deserted.Especially the recent bird infestation, the more people go down the mountain, the fewer pedestrians, Gu Zhen turned over two hills, almost no one can be seen on the path, only some people who take pictures, they will go down the mountain after taking pictures in a hurry, and they won't stay for long.

Gu Zhen sat down on the stone bench by the side of the road and added some water.

In the mountains, there are towering trees and birds chirping.In the green shadows of the green mountains, you can only hear the sound of layers of sounds but can't see the shadow of the birds. It's scary.

The sign shows that there are two forks in the road ahead.One end on the left is a resting pavilion, and there is a path in the opposite direction to go down the mountain after reaching the top; the other is a dead end road, with a small temple on the top, and there is no way in the end, and you have to turn back if you want to go down the mountain.

If the little crow brothers really lived on the mountain, they would probably choose the temple on the right.Gu Zhen threw the empty water bottle into the trash can, got up and continued walking.He walked along the road on the right for a while, and it was blocked after that.

Two piles of big stones blocked the way, with bamboo railings on top, and a notice board nailed up, which read in crimson, "Mountain road maintenance prohibits entry, violators will bear the consequences."

Gu Zhen avoided the roadblock and turned to the other side.

There is no trace of ground breaking along the way, and the road condition is good, it doesn't look like it is being repaired.The more Gu Zhen walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he stopped suddenly, rolled on the spot while calling out the bone knife, leaning his back against a big tree, and being vigilant about his surroundings.

The noisy birdsong disappeared at some point.

The woods were eerily silent.

Suddenly a shadow ran across the forest, Gu Zhen quickly adjusted his position, and then another shadow ran in the opposite direction, Gu Zhen adjusted his figure again, and as soon as he took half a step with his left foot, a mysterious air came from behind him flow.

Gu Zhen turned around quickly.

"Crash!" A large group of birds rushed towards him, and a pair of powerful wings slapped him in the face, making him dizzy and dizzy.Gu Zhen could only drive away with a knife, covered his face with his arms, and ran towards the gap.

The flock of birds chased after him, Gu Zhen cursed inwardly, and ran wildly in the woods.

The fallen leaves on the ground were so thick that it was difficult to distinguish the road conditions. He stepped on the ground and rolled down the mountain.

"What did you catch him for?"

"Try the depth? Has anyone tried this? Look at how his face has been scratched!"

"There are cuts all over your body, where did you put your medicine?"

"Why are you staring at him? What's so interesting about a sacrifice?"

"Don't worry about it, you are my brother and not my father, don't keep talking about me."

"Alright, alright..."

Gu Zhen lay dizzy, and heard a familiar voice talking to himself incessantly, and then he felt a slight tingling sensation as the cold ointment was applied to his skin, and he couldn't bear it. He snorted lightly.

A finger rested on his head, poked it, and asked stiffly, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm." Gu Zhen opened his eyes a little, struggling to sit up.

"Lie down honestly." The person in front of him pushed him back to sleep on the bed.

Gu Zhen was lying in a slightly dilapidated monk's dormitory at the moment. The little crow was sitting on the bedside, holding a wound medicine jar, and glared at him: "Who told you to come?"

"No one." I haven't seen the little crow for a long time, but when I saw the little crow, all the bird warnings were forgotten, Gu Zhen only felt happy, and he put his hands on the little crow's waist very naturally, "It hurts me to death." gone."

"What are you doing!" The little crow was taken aback, slapped his hand away suddenly, and staggered back.

He stiffened his body and wanted to turn around but didn't dare.

Gu Zhen didn't raise or release his hand: "I..."

The little crow was startled and angry, his face changed several times, and finally he straightened his expression, and said coldly: "This is my sacrificial ceremony. You can see as much as you want."

Although the little crow faced Gu Zhen, what he said was not to Gu Zhen.He put the wound medicine jar on the bed and left the room in a hurry.

The monk's dormitory without one person is much more spacious, revealing the rattan coffee table and chairs that were originally blocked by the little crow.

Only then did Gu Zhen notice that there was another person in the room.

"Hello." Gu Zhen got up and sat upright on the edge of the bed, baring her teeth slightly because of the wound involved.

The other party nodded gently.

"My name is Gu Zhen. You... belong to Little Crow," Gu Zhen hesitated, "Brother—brother?"

The other party nodded again.

Gu Zhen was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury her face in the mud.

Just now he hugged the little crow's waist in front of his parents, no wonder the little crow would blow up.

"I didn't expect you to be so young." Gu Zhen laughed dryly, "Hahaha."

Not only young, but young at all.

The young man sitting on the chair with a straight posture was wearing a well-pressed shirt with short sleeves and suit trousers. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of a little crow, and he exuded the bookish air of a nobleman from an aristocratic family.It can't be connected with the cold-blooded madman who killed people without blinking an eye and ate little monsters in the non-mainstream monster forum.

Gu Zhen believed that he was the little crow's relative, but it was a little hard for Gu Zhen to accept that he was the little crow's brother.

The boy's stature is thin, male and female, his facial features are soft but childish.Gu Zhen dared to bet with a month's pocket money that the person in front of him was at most one.

The young man made a few gestures slowly.

"Sorry, I can't read sign language." Gu Zhen said.

The boy picked up the erase board on the table and wrote three lines.

——My name is Feng Jue, and I am Feng Yu's fifth brother.

—Thank you for taking care of my brother during this time.

-take a good rest.

After confirming that Gu Zhen had read everything, Feng Jue said goodbye, and walked out of the room with the eraser in his arms.

Gu Zhen's mind froze for a second.

Dumb, brother?

The sound of footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, Gu Zhen quickly jumped out of bed, leaned in front of the door, and opened it cautiously.

This is a small temple hidden in the mountains, a little dilapidated but cleaned very well.

The little crow sat on the eaves at the opposite corner, and glanced at the room where Gu Zhen lived from time to time.When Feng Jue went out, he quickly turned his gaze, silently counting the clouds in the sky one by one.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside again, Gu Zhen sneaked out, and tiptoed towards the main hall.

The little crow picked up a broken piece of rubble, aimed at his back and threw it.

Gu Zhen dodges subconsciously.While dodging, he saw the little crow.

"Why are you sitting there?" Gu Zhen looked up at him, wanting to laugh at the thought of the oolong just now, "Your brother is gone."

"Well, I see." The little crow responded, and raised his chin at him, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Gu Zhen shook her head.

The little crow jumped down from the eaves, grabbed his arm and pulled him back into the house.

"Hey, take it easy." Gu Zhen yelled, "You pinched my wound."

"You still have the face to cry out for pain?" The little crow pushed him down on the bed, picked up the wound medicine jar, "A few birds can't escape, just forget about the pain." He said and smeared the ointment heavily on Gu Zhen's chin.

"Ow~"

The little crow snorted coldly, moved lightly, and wiped a line on Gu Zhen's cheek: "What did my brother tell you just now?"

"Is that really your brother?" Gu Zhen still couldn't believe it, "He's so young, is he eighteen?"

"You don't understand even if you tell me." The little crow said, "Take off the clothes."

"Your brother said thank you for taking care of you and let me have a good rest." Gu Zhen took off his shirt directly, "It's gone."

"Cut." The little crow whispered, "It's good not to cause trouble."

"Your brother is... huh?" Gu Zhen pinched his throat and gestured.

"Don't talk nonsense, Fifth Brother is neither deaf nor dumb." The little crow gave him a white look, "But he can't speak."

"Huh?" Gu Zhen didn't understand.

"Fifth Brother Tianni's destiny, words will come true." The little crow said.

"That's amazing." Gu Zhen said, "Every wish comes true."

The little crow said unhappily: "What's the matter, I didn't see him... In short, no matter what happens in the future, don't let him speak."

"Understood." Gu Zhen said, "Your brother will stay in Yanyang City from now on?"

"Mind your own business." The little crow said, "I haven't asked you yet, why didn't you listen when I told you not to come back? Don't you think I'm not annoying enough?"

"I came back from a mission." Speaking of business, Gu Zhen turned over and sat up, thought for a while and said, "Let me ask you in the meeting, what's the matter with the bird."

Needless to say, the little crow also knew what Gu Zhen was referring to, and he said simply: "I don't know."

"The bird problem has had a serious impact on the normal operation of the city." Gu Zhen said, "If it doesn't return to normal before Wednesday, the city will take coercive measures..."

"If you say you don't know, you don't know. What do you mean? Do you think I did it!" The little crow said, "I've been with those spiritual successors for a long time, and they mean what they say?"

Gu Zhen: "I didn't..."

"Still saying no!" The little crow became more and more annoyed, "You would rather listen to their orders to return to Yanyang than to listen to me not to come back! Do you know how dangerous it is outside now..."

"I don't!" Gu Zhen became anxious, and shouted while holding the little crow's hand, "I don't! If you say it's not, I'll believe it!"

"...What are you yelling at?" The little crow was stunned for a while, and all the anger in his stomach suddenly disappeared, "I said it wasn't me, and you don't believe it."

Gu Zhen hugged him into his arms and said, "I believe it."
