In the room, Zhong Qing placed the lamp that was originally placed next to the cabinet on the table. The light in the corridor was too dark before, and he couldn't see the child's appearance clearly. Now, looking at the child by the candlelight, he found that it was a very handsome boy. The child, or teenager, is about twelve or thirteen years old, very thin, wearing shabby but clean black clothes, his face has not yet opened because of his age, but his eyes are very dark and bright, reflecting golden light under the candlelight , It's too bright.

Because of a pair of eyes, the spirit of the whole person is different.The child didn't speak when he entered the room, so Zhong Qing discussed with him: "I'm sorry to rob your room, but there is only one bed in this room, the two of us are half of each other, right?"

Yun Jue said: "I can sleep on the floor." Then he said to Zhong Qing: "Thank you." He could see that this person just wanted to help him, and the matter in this room had nothing to do with this person, and he would not vent his anger to innocent people Although he came in, he didn't want to disturb Zhong Qing too much.He took out a thin black oilcloth from his bag and spread it on the ground. During the days when he came out from eight thousand miles, he couldn't find a place to stay on the road, so he covered this piece of cloth and slept in the mountains overnight. It was coated with tung oil and was not wet by rain.

When Zhong Qing saw that he had laid the floor mat skillfully, he couldn't help but look at him again.At first glance, this child is the kind of person who does things neatly and has his own opinions. Once he has made up his mind, he will not change it, so he didn't say much.However, he was a little curious. At such a young age, he went out alone without anyone else to accompany him?Parents in this fairy world have big hearts.

Zhong Qing asked a few simple questions, and learned that the child was helping someone out to buy things, and would leave the place early tomorrow morning. Since he was not familiar with him, he sat back on the bed without asking any further questions.

After tidying up, Yun Jue fell asleep on the floor, the burden with a broken corner was put aside, he blinked slowly, then leaned against the burden and closed his eyes.

Zhong Qing noticed that the child's clothes were still draining and his hair was wet. Seeing him just sleeping with his clothes on, he felt inexplicably obsessive-compulsive, as if he was the one who was sleeping on the floor soaked through. Finally he said, "Your clothes are all wet from the rain. Wearing them to sleep is not good for your health. Take off your outer shirt and go to sleep." He picked up a clean cloth and put it beside Yun Jue, Said: "Wipe your hair too."

Yun Jue had already closed his eyes, but opened them again when he heard the sound, and he said after a long time, "Thank you."

Zhong Qing felt that the child spoke coldly, or maybe it was because of his personality. When Yun Jue packed up and went back to sleep, he didn't know what to say, so he said, "Okay, go to bed early." He raised his hand and put it out. Turning off the lamp on the table, he went back to bed and lay down.

In the darkness, Yun Jue glanced in the direction of the bed, then he raised his hand and grabbed his bag, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Half an hour later, the house was silent, the night rain outside the window had stopped, and the moonlight shone in through the gap in the window.Zhong Qing didn't know when he stood on the floor, he looked down at Yun Jue who was already asleep, he reached out his hand to touch the child's hair, it was already dry, he raised his hand and gently touched the quilt he was holding. Covering the child's body, he lifted his head and put a pillow under his head, and then he felt comfortable, the obsessive-compulsive disorder was finally comfortable, and he went back to bed to sleep.

What he didn't know was that just as he lay back down, the motionless Yun Jue suddenly opened his eyes, obsidian-like eyes, silently flickering in the dark night.One hand slowly grabbed the quilt on his body, Yun Jue lowered his eyes and did not make any sound.

It's a safe night.

When Zhong woke up the next day, the child had disappeared.The golden lights on both sides of the street shone into the room like the morning sun. A quilt was neatly folded and placed next to the cabinet like a piece of tofu with a knife. On it was the pillow, which was also square. Zhong Qing He had never seen such a neatly folded quilt in his life, he looked at it for a long time, and smiled inexplicably.

That kid was quite interesting.

Zhong Qing didn't care, he went downstairs, today is another day to search for the legendary Baqianli Village.There were only two guys working at the counter, and the fat boss was missing. These two guys must have been ordered. As soon as they saw Zhong Qing coming downstairs, they immediately went up to meet him and asked him if he wanted something to eat.

Zhong Qing was indeed hungry, so he ordered something to eat. When he was eating, the two guys stood aside and looked at him. Zhong Qing was eating and found that the two were still looking at him. Qingxin thinks this is absolutely impossible.He and the two guys inquired about Xiabaqianli Village. The two guys were very enthusiastic, but when they heard about Baqianli, they turned into bewildered faces. Obviously they had never heard of this place, but they told Zhong Qing, "If you want to inquire about something, you can go to the teahouse in the town to inquire. The boss there knows everything."

"Okay, then I'll ask later." He said to the two of them again: "You don't have to stand and watch me eat, I will pay for it."

The two guys hurriedly said: "Okay." Then they didn't leave, they still stood there.

Zhong Qing had no more thoughts in his mind, and he asked casually, "Why didn't you see your boss today?"

The faces of the two guys finally changed when they heard the sound, and after a long time, one of them said: "Our boss is sick."

Zhong Qing was taken aback, "Didn't you be fine yesterday?"

The guy's face seemed a little strange, but he finally talked to Zhong Qing.The thing is like this, it turned out that after Zhong Qing and Yun Jue returned to the house last night, the innkeeper couldn't get angry, so he kept scolding Yun Jue in the backyard, calling him a broom star bastard, a son of a bitch , Cursing and cursing, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit him on the head, and he was knocked unconscious at that time.After finally helping him to the steps and waking up, the boss felt that it was evil, and cursed again. It was too late and then another lightning struck down. In the terrified eyes of the boss who had escaped in a hurry, there were suddenly countless thunderbolts crackling. Hit the ground in the yard, as if chasing the boss and hacking.

When the two guys said this, they seemed to recall the miraculous scene they witnessed yesterday, and they were amazed.

Zhong Qing didn't speak for a long time, and finally said: "Your boss...are you okay?"

"There is nothing wrong with the person, but he fell down while running and broke his leg."

Zhong Qing looked at the two guys, and couldn't tell whether this was a joke made up by the other party.

On the other side of the street, Yun Jue bought lamp oil and bought books in a shop. He left Luoxia Town, the golden candle light shone on the young man's face. He looked at the trees and lamps along the way, but there was no second place in his heart. The excitement when I saw these things for the first time, it turns out that the world outside the mountain is no different from the world in the mountain. At first glance, it looks colorful, but there is nothing special about it. There are all kinds of people, and the scenery is similar to that of his imagination. It's different in the picture, but he can't tell what he imagined the world outside Zhongshan looks like.

He didn't see a monk like a fairy, nor did he see those magical spells. He had already learned that those can only be seen in the distant Fangzhen, so he thought, maybe he should go further afield .Yun Jue thought of the person he met at the inn last night. That person must have come from a farther place. He looked different from everyone he had seen before, in terms of accent, dress, and temperament. They are different, Yun Jue thought, that person is a good person, he has no parents since he was a child, and no one has ever covered him with a quilt since he grew up.

When he was a child, he often envied those children with parents. When they fell asleep, their parents would cover them carefully with quilts. It turned out to be such a feeling, and for some reason, it made him want to escape for no reason.

Maybe one day, he and that person will meet again, maybe.

Yun Jue took lamp oil and books back eight thousand miles, but because of the heavy rain on the road, he was delayed for a while, and he walked for more than ten days before arriving.He thought about going to Uncle Cheng first, but as soon as he entered the village, he suddenly found that today seemed different from usual.Because the long night lasts for three months, lamps are always lit in Baqianli Village. Even when the villagers are sleeping and resting, the lamps and candles at the ancestral hall and the entrance of the village are still burning.

But today, there is no light in this mountain.

Yun Jue felt a little strange in his heart. He stood on the mountain road and looked at the two mountains in front of him. He didn't think how high the mountains he was used to climbing were before, but looking at them today, the two mountains are really like two huge tombstones. Standing like this in the dark and silent long night, a strange smell wafted in the wind, like the smell of freshly decomposed animal corpses mixed with the smell of grass mud in the mountain forest after a heavy rain.He stood there for a long time inexplicably, and then he walked towards the village with the dim lamp in his hand.

Yun Jue walked very slowly, and the sound of footsteps resounded in the mountains.

The corpses of several men fell into the mud, and the severed heads rolled down by the mouth of the spring in the distance. Their faces could not be seen clearly, only their unkempt hair.

The familiar floral dress was soaked in black blood and became hard, split in half from the middle, and the little girl named A Chi had one hand hanging from the beam, and the other was on the ground.

On weekdays, there were several corpses hanging from the long poles where the villagers hung their clothes to dry.

The originally quiet and secluded village has become a hell on earth, with blood, stumps, rats and small animals eating corpses, Yun Jue walks in it with a lamp, a little strangely calm, not like seeing it for the first time The 12-year-old child in such a bloody massacre scene, he raised his feet and walked over the corpses on the road. He couldn't see what kind of force caused it. A series of thousand-year-old trees were directly uprooted, leaving behind huge black The place where the house used to be was razed to the ground, the road that he usually walks was plowed to pieces, and the water came from nowhere when he stepped on it, Yun Jue suddenly thought of what Uncle Cheng told him about Monk things.

"Those monks are as omnipotent as the gods in the sky. Whenever there is a disaster in the world, they will stand up to save the common people from the water and fire. They wave their hands, and the flood stops. They wave their hands again, and the mountains and seas are destroyed." It's flat and smooth, as if a real fairy descended from the sky."

At the same moment, the group of people in white robes with swords on their backs that he ran into when he was descending the mountain that day began to appear in his mind.

In a ditch under a hillside, Yun Jue found Cheng Bo's body, which was stuck between two rocks. The water flowed over him quickly, and it could be seen that he wanted to jump down to escape, but fell to his death. In this ditch.Yun Jue jumped down and pulled the corpse up, turned over to look at the face that had swelled three or four times, it was white and terrifying, and one eyeball fell out of its socket.Yun Jue held the lamp to shine on that face for a long time, but did not make a sound.

The wind blew past the dead mountain village, the mountains and forests, and the distant sea of ​​clouds. There was no ripple in the red pool, and a rare blood moon was reflected.
