Jiang Chen

【Smoke and Dust】

Jun Chensheng is an orphan.

When the old Taoist picked him up, the little baby was wrapped in a dilapidated swaddle and remained motionless.

The old Taoist said that if the horse running nearby hadn't splashed dust and made the baby in his arms choke, he probably thought the baby was out of breath and would find a place to bury him.

Because of a well-timed blow of dust, Jun Chen survived.

So the old Taoist named him Jun Chen Sheng, Jun was born of dust.

As long as Jun Chen can remember, he has been running around with the old Taoist, making his home all over the world, wandering with nowhere to go.

The old man never stays in one place for too long, just as he never forgets to drink under any circumstances.

Jun Chen was born... Maybe he was born without all the emotions and desires of a normal person, no matter what he encounters, he will always look cold.

No terror, no fear, no joy, no sorrow.

The old Taoist said, Ah Sheng, you have very good roots, and you are the most suitable child I have met to inherit my mantle.

Jun Chen can't deny it.

Every time the old Taoist met an orphan, he would say that he had the best bones he had ever seen, and Jun Chensheng's ears were almost calloused when he heard it.

However, the old way does not accept disciples, and no one can become his disciple except Jun Chensheng.

Even if that person was covered in blood and struggled to crawl to his side bit by bit, kowtowed to beg with all his strength, and continued to beg when he fainted and woke up, Lao Dao's young face of 40 years old would always be calm and unwavering , The only thing that was said was that plain and unchanging sentence.

You are not suitable.

Later, when Jun Chensheng thought about it, he vaguely understood why the old Taoist always said that he was the most suitable child he met to inherit his mantle.

They're a lot alike, the kind of emotionally apathetic, almost heartless people.

There is neither joy nor sorrow, nor fear nor love.

In Jun Chensheng's memory, he only saw the old man who seemed to be omnipotent lose his temper once.

Before he will die.

At that time, the old man was still in his 40s and [-]s, but his temples were gray and his gray hair lost its luster at that time.

In fact, before that day, the old Taoist seemed to be a little bit wrong. He would always sit at the door of the house, his eyes were slack, and he looked into the distance, and he could sit like this for a whole day.

Then that night, Jun Chensheng, who was sleeping peacefully, was suddenly woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the old Taoist sitting quietly beside him, his expression was softer than ever before.

woke up?The old Taoist said that his voice was also hoarse like never before, which was different from his usual dullness.

Later, the old Taoist talked a lot, saying that Ah Sheng should pay attention to things in the arena, and remember to practice hard so as not to be bullied.

What he talked about the most was the past that he himself never mentioned.

Jun Chensheng listened quietly, without a hint of impatience.

He had a premonition of something...

At dawn the next day, the old Taoist died, sleeping on the bed with a peaceful look.

Jun Chensheng calmly took care of the old man's funeral, calmly rejected the kind invitation from the neighbor next door, and then calmly left there, the house where he lived for many years.

The moment he packed up his things and stepped out of the house, Jun Chen thought that he would not come back.

Maybe... can't come back.

【Jiuzhong City Pagoda】

After stepping out of the protection of the old Taoist wings, Jun Chensheng finally felt what it meant to be on the line of life and death.

Chasing and killing all the time, endless calculations.

However, these did not cause Jun Chen any emotional fluctuations at all. It was time to eat, sleep, and kill.

Occasionally hunted down by others.

Like this time.

The black figure walked quietly through the jungle, and a cold light flashed on half of the silver-gray mask.

Blood was dripping from the tip of the knife as thin as a cicada's wing, and bright red liquid was oozing from the large and small cracks in the black clothes Jun Chensheng was wearing.

It's just that the one on the knife belongs to someone else, while the one on him belongs to him.

He didn't care about such a serious injury, just lurking in the depths of the dense forest, like a hunting beast, patiently waiting for his prey.

The blade cut across the defenseless neck silently, and the warm blood splashed out, which was a kind of poignant beauty of the loss of life.

However, even if Jun Chensheng has such a top-notch hunting technique, he still can't kill more and more enemies.

Now, he killed one person, but at least three people saw his tracks.

So there was another scar on his body.

Jun Chensheng retreated to the depths, to the edge of the cliff, to...there was no way to retreat.

No one would have thought that there would be an abyss filled with mist behind the tall and lush woods, just as no one would have thought that Jun Chensheng would jump off the cliff without hesitation when he had nowhere to go.

Without the slightest hesitation.

The rapidly falling body tore through the drifting mist, Jun Chensheng did not close his eyes, and the dark pupils were indifferent and calm.He plunged the knife into the cliff suddenly, slowing down the speed of his fall.

Golden sparks erupted from the contact between the knife and the cliff, and Jun Chensheng's falling figure left a long scratch on the misty cliff.

The wound on his body burst in this violent movement, and bright red blood sprinkled from the air.The pain of bursting wounds all over his body caused Jun Chensheng, who was not very old, to shrink his pupils suddenly, and the hand that was holding the knife tightly showed signs of loosening.

Lost for a moment, when Jun Chensheng woke up, he had reached the bottom of the cliff, and the hand holding the knife was numb for a while.

Surrounded by cold water, Jun Chensheng saw the mist on the water surface, saw it getting farther and farther away from him, and the blue color he saw in front of him was getting darker and darker.

He even saw the blisters spit out from his mouth, and the traces of blood mixed in them.

He fell into the water and was sinking.

Jun Chen thought that he might die here.

With heavy injuries and exhausted body, he has absolutely no ability to struggle.

Unfortunately……

What a pity?

Between life and death, Jun Chensheng suddenly discovered that he had nothing to miss in this world.

So, that's it.

Jun Chensheng said to himself, and then closed his eyes.

But he didn't find that in the depths of the deep lake, there was a vortex appearing, stirring the calm lake water, causing the undercurrent in the lake to surge.

When Jun Chensheng woke up again, he saw the mist that he thought he would never see again, and smelled the fragrance of medicine that he hadn't smelled for a long time.

woke up?The unfamiliar voice made Jun Chensheng's pupils shrink subconsciously. If he hadn't been unable to move at the moment, he would have jumped up and killed the speaker immediately.

He turned his head to look at the speaker with difficulty, but the person didn't avoid it, but let him look indifferently.

This is a boy in white clothes, with extremely long hair, casually scattered behind him.Although his face is immature, it can be seen that he is somewhat clear and beautiful, with a tall and straight figure, carrying a basket made of rattan, and his eyes are always faint when looking at people, with a feeling that he is not far but not close.

Jun Chensheng was silent for a moment, then whispered, thank you.

He felt that the wounds on his body had been carefully bandaged, and he could smell the faint smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of medicine on the young man in front of him, and he could also see the remaining blood on the young man's fingertips.

But by the way, no need.The young man's tone was indifferent, your injuries are too serious, I can't cure them all, since I have a chance to meet you, I will leave a bottle of wound medicine with you.

The young man put a jade bottle in Jun Chensheng's hand, hesitated for a moment, then took out a package of pastries, and said, I made this for myself, let me make dry food for you.

Jun Chensheng watched the boy put down his things and leave. A white bird landed on the boy's shoulder with an emerald green fruit in its mouth.At that time, there were some fluorescent lights floating in the mist, and the young man walked slowly away with the bird, the fluorescent lights under his feet mixed with the mist and scattered, as if he was stepping on the light.

At that time, Jun Chensheng thought he had seen a fairy.

……

The injuries on his body did not affect Jun Chensheng's hunting. When his body recovered some strength, he stood up and went hunting.

He ate a piece of the pastry that the young man gave him, it was delicious osmanthus cake, Jun Chensheng was a little reluctant to eat it, so he put it on his body carefully.

This is the first time he has felt reluctant to part with foreign objects.

Later, Jun Chensheng learned how to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes by himself, and the cakes became better and better, but he couldn't make the taste that he remembered.

Not that smell, not that feeling.

He created a killer organization called Shadow.He believes that the killer is the shadow of the night, silently taking the lives of others.

Shadows in the dark night are naturally those who have been abandoned by the light of day.So Jun Chensheng always picks up people, picks up those desperate people, picks up those abandoned children.

The shadow became bigger and bigger, and Jun Chensheng didn't want to interfere with the shadow thing more and more.He threw everything to the two killers he picked up first and vigorously cultivated, and he was completely idle.

However, the development of shadows hindered the purpose of some people, such as Murong Rong.

Bingding has never betrayed, and all his actions are the plans of Jun Chensheng, who is aware of Murong Rong, a potential threat.

The previous life and death chase made the original boy grow up and learn to calculate.

Jun Chensheng was not in a hurry to eradicate Murong Rong, a threat with great potential, but secretly investigated the distribution of power under this person.

In order to let the nail he planted completely penetrate Murong Rong's power, Jun Chensheng even took the poison brought back by Bing Ding at the expense of using himself as a bait.

For safety's sake, Jun Chensheng didn't tell anyone about his plan, so when Bai Shuang came to visit and found that he had been poisoned, he became anxious immediately, and forced Jun Chensheng to detoxify.

Jun Chensheng is not worried about the poison at all, as long as Bingding is successful, the antidote is not a problem.

But couldn't stand Bai Shuang's nagging, and Jun Chensheng really valued this childhood friend, so he followed Bai Shuang to the valley where it is said that those who have tokens can renew their lives.

But I didn't expect to see him.
