Duanling was ordered by his teacher to go down the mountain and walk all the way to Beimang. He saw many people who moved their families and fled famine with their families.

The senior brother once told him that now the imperial court has internal and external troubles, wars and famines all the year round, and the people are in dire straits.At that time, he hadn't been down the mountain yet, so he didn't know what it was like to "people living in dire straits". When he went down the mountain with his luggage on his back, he realized that his brother hadn't sighed enough that day.

The word "the people are in dire straits" is not enough to describe it. Instead, "the people's livelihood is in dire straits, the people's lives are in dire straits, and the people are devastated."

On the first day Duanling went down the mountain, all his savings were stolen by someone. He later realized that it was the sheep that was taken by the waiter who came in to change the hot water while he was meditating in the inn.

The clerk in the shop is as thin as a stick, and there is a seriously ill old mother at home, who is wailing to feed the child, and his wife is blind and has no livelihood.Duanling walked to the gate of the courtyard with his sword in his hand, turned around and walked back when he saw this scene.

And this kind of scene, from north to south, from Tianshan to Luoyi, it is not uncommon to see everywhere.

Even when passing through a closed cottage, Duanling once saw someone change their sons to eat.

He thought that the famine in the north was due to years of severe drought, and that no one would starve to death in Luoyi. However, Luoyi, which is just across the river from Jinling, was even more serious.

Everywhere Duanling went, there were many people starving to death at home or in the streets and alleys.Yamen servants in twos and threes came over, wrapped a mat casually, and carried the body to the mass grave on the nearby hill.

He walked all the way, only sighed.

When he arrived at the top of this mountain, Duanling originally wanted to spend the night with a local farmer, but left at dawn.Unexpectedly, just after nightfall, a gust of dark wind blew away the village chief's little granddaughter.

Naturally, he couldn't stand by and watch something like this happen in the village.After carefully questioning the village head and his wife, Duanling, wearing a dusty cloak, went up the mountain by himself facing the moonlight.

That's how the opening scene started.

It took only half a cup of tea to feed the medicine, and the faces of the elderly and children lying on the straw mat gradually improved.After the big man kowtowed, he said a few more words of thanks, then turned and went back to take care of the adults and children.

People in the world keep promises, promises are worth a thousand dollars, and people often lose their lives because of a promise.Although Duanling saved his family, he never thought of asking him to go through fire and water to repay him.

He turned and walked towards the temple gate.

There were crows circling or crashing against the window outside the door, when Xie Sheng saw his slender and flawless hand resting on the latch, his heart skipped a beat, "Brother Duan, no!" In his desperation, he even forgot the word "Young Xia" up.

Duanling paused and tilted his head, "Sleep, don't pay attention to me."

"It's late at night, where are you going, brother Duan?" Xie Sheng asked subconsciously, "There are crows all over the place, I don't know what's going on, let's wait until the crows disperse before leaving."

Duan Ling looked at him and was silent for a while, "They are chasing me."

When Xie Sheng came back to his senses, Duan Ling was no longer there.He looked at the door and window, and the crows that looked like immortals circled away outside, like a cloud of black mist in the night sky of the dense forest.

Their red eyes are dotted in the black mist, like ferocious ghosts.

The crow chased after Duanling, even more terrifying than the "immortal" posture just now.

The female ghost who followed Xie Sheng all the way came out from the grave of the mass grave, and patted her chest with palpitations.Scary ghosts, where did the young people come from, the aura of the whole body is more dazzling than the sun in the daytime, and the lonely ghosts on the grave are frightened and scurry around.

She almost died, but fortunately she was witty and hid in the cemetery in time.

Duanling didn't know that the spiritual light on his body frightened away the ghosts on the top of the mountain. It was his first time to go down the mountain, and he was inexperienced in finding people and checking news.

He stopped and walked in the dense forest, observing the silver moon in the night sky. Crows landed on the branches one after another, turning their red eyes, and they never took their eyes off him for a moment.

The ancients trained pigeons to convey information between the two places. I don't know if these crows were born like this or they were trained by someone, but they stared at Duanling as if they had received some orders.

Follow wherever you go, but don't dare to disturb each other.

The silver sword worn by Duan Ling's waist began to quarrel for no reason, and a few firefly-sized lights slowly rose from the hilt, and fell affectionately on his shoulder.

"Awake?" Duanling was not surprised, he stopped and tilted his head slightly.

The dots of light blended into an orange halo, rubbing against his graceful jaw vigorously.

"Be quiet." Duanling rubbed it lightly twice, and the light circle rested peacefully on his shoulder.

This is his yet-to-be-formed sword spirit. Although he has opened up his intelligence, he is still an ignorant, lively and active child.Duanling has always doted on it, compared with Youhe who usually keeps up and down, he prefers it.

After getting off the slope of the mass grave, he walked along the path in the forest to another hilltop.I didn't mention a few mass graves that I passed by during the period, but the wild ghosts who came out to wander at night were frightened to death.

Duanling realized later, and withdrew the aura from his body.

Seeing his figure disappear into the darkness, several blue will-o'-the-wisps ignited spontaneously out of thin air, whispering together.

"Which family is this youngster? The aura is really powerful."

"Yeah, I was so frightened that I died of fear. I thought it was the monster catcher who came again."

"Is this the young man that Se Se said?" Se Se is the female ghost who followed Xie Sheng all the way.

"The slave family saw him coming down from the mountain, there is no doubt about it."

A few will-o'-the-wisps were talking, when a crow landed on a branch beside it, and its red eyes rolled coldly, scaring the will-o'-the-wisps into fleeing in all directions.

The shadows of flowers intertwined, and the silver moon in the night sky slowly rolled into the corner of the mountain.

The moonlight was pale, and where ordinary people couldn't see, there was a faint blood-red light on the edge of the silver moon.The pole of light will be hidden, and Duanling can only see it when he walks all the way north. If he walks the wrong way or walks back, he will definitely not see such a scene.

The mountains are rolling and rolling, and the silence in the night seems to be able to hear the heartbeat.The shadows of the branches, leaves and flowers are all intertwined, coated with a layer of light red light, contrasting with the black mountains and white waters, it is as silent as a cold painting.

At a broken valley, Duanling stopped.

The old tree with withered vines, he stood quietly by the stream, the moonlight fell on the water, and his figure was reflected on the water, the cirrus sleeves fluttering in the wind against the long black hair hanging down his waist, he was so beautiful that he did not look like a real person.

The crow that landed on the branch looked down at him, half frozen.In its red eyes, there are no black mountains and white waters, no dead vines and old trees, only Duanling who takes off his veil and looks at the moon quietly.

What kind of face is that?

It makes people toss and turn, dreaming and fascinated.

Chang'e in the Moon Palace, who is so beautiful in the world, is as unbearable as muddy water in front of him.

No wonder he is tightly wrapped up all day long, if someone takes a look at him, he may never have a peaceful day in this life.

"Crow" sighed like this, but no one knew what was going on in his heart.It's just that the crows that were chasing after him returned to their habitat one after another as if they were ordered by someone.
