[comprehensive] not human

"Are you going to the capital?" Yan Bai raised his eyebrows. Considering that he has nowhere to go, it's okay to send him all the way. The most important thing is that he doesn't know where the capital is, so he can go with a guide to see the bustling at the foot of Tianzi. place.

It was only then that Zhu Juren realized that there was Yan Bai beside him, and he was overjoyed when he heard that the other party showed the intention of traveling together, and asked, "Mr. Yan is going too?"

When he first knew that the other party was a monster, he was very scared, but in the past three days, after getting along with the group of monsters in the mural, he felt the simplicity of the monsters.Not to mention cannibalism, those monsters don't even eat much meat. All the vegetarians are more exaggerated than ordinary people, and all of them are simple and honest in nature.Zhu Juren has only been with them for a few days, and he can't help feeling that even monsters are much cuter than humans these days.Before coming to this temple, he had seen many bandits and thieves who killed people at will, alas, troubled times are coming.The saddest thing is that even in troubled times, he still has to take the exam.

"kindness."

Hearing Yan Bai's nod and answer, Zhu Juren came back to his senses and was very happy: "That's great, brother Yan is here, and I feel much safer." There is a thousand-year-old snake demon beside him, and the bandits and robbers are so rampant. Can he survive such a monster?Zhu Juren felt that he was the lucky one who was hit by a pie falling from the sky after starving for many days.

Zhu Juren carried a bamboo book basket, which contained books and some necessary clothes, and supported a piece of almost useless cotton cloth on top of his head to keep out the wind and rain. When walking, the bamboo tubes and dry food bags hung on both sides of the bamboo basket collided with each other. Bang straight.As a scholar, he displayed his handlessness to the extreme. When climbing a relatively steep mountain, Yan Bai had to slip his back collar with one hand and forcefully lift him up.

"I'm so sorry, Brother Yan, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get up at all." Zhu Juren wiped the sweat from his forehead, found a clean stone to sweep and sat down, pulled out the bamboo tube from his back with his backhand, and poured it After taking a few sips of water and wiping off the sweat with his sleeve, he was relieved and had time to look around.

After leaving Hongshi Mountain, they turned a corner and headed north. After walking for two days, they passed a small town to replenish their dry food, and then continued on the road without stopping.After walking for four days in one breath, I didn't see a single family. The two villages I passed by on the way had long since declined.The walls are crumbling, the thatched huts are collapsing, and through the wall that lacks bricks and tiles, we can see that the weeds in the yard are growing wildly to the height of half a person, and there are not even mice in the yard.The house where they stayed at night had wind leaks in all directions, and they could see the sky full of stars when they looked up.Yan Bai didn't have much feeling as a monster, Zhu Juren was miserable, and he didn't bring much clothes, wrapped all the clothes around his body and shivered in the corner.

The weather was abnormal, extremely cold at night and extremely hot during the day, and there would be heavy rain from time to time with dark clouds from the north covering the sky.Whenever this happens, Zhu Juren will sigh with emotion: "Before the troubled times come, there are visions, and the ancients can't afford to deceive me."

Now he is looking at this desolate mountain range where he is resting. Looking down from the top of the mountain, there are deep gullies washed out by the rain everywhere, large and small black gravels are all over the ground, and there is no vegetation on the mountain, at most near the edge of the cliff. Several low and sparse shrubs.Zhu Juren watched for a long time and couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it's another barren mountain. I don't know when I will reach the capital."

Yan Bai stood not far away and didn't speak. He took a few steps to the left and looked down, looked up, and then walked a few steps to the right, looked down, looked up, and finally kicked a stone with his foot.

Before Zhu Juren had time to tease him that his childlike innocence was still there, he saw his face change, and he quickly turned around and strode towards him: "Go!"

Knowing Yan Bai for so long, Zhu Juren has seen his face change drastically from a crisis, even when facing his wife who has the power of the entire mural fairyland, he can keep his face unchanged and calm.Now his face was so serious that Zhu Juren jumped up at once, frantically packing up his things and carrying his upper body, the bamboo tube banged and clanged.

He hurried to Yan Bai's side and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Yan Bai didn't have time to explain to him, so he immediately walked down the mountain, and Zhu Juren had no choice but to follow behind him with a heavy bookcase on his back.

As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult, but Zhu Juren was exhausted when he went up the mountain, and now when he goes down the mountain, he feels that his legs are trembling with every step he takes.Yan Bai in front not only walked extremely fast, but also deviated from the route down the mountain from time to time, deliberately making a circle.

After walking for more than ten minutes at a stretch without seeing halfway, Zhu Juren couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Yan Bai's sleeve, and asked out of breath, "Yan, brother Yan, you, why do you have to go around in circles?" Let’s go, just walk along the trail.”

Yan Bai frowned and glanced at him, then shook his head: "It's late."

"What's late?" Zhu Ju was puzzled.

Yan Bai silently pointed to where they came from, and Zhu Juren turned his head.Turning around this time, he was shocked.Because they're back on top of the mountain again!

"This, how is this possible!" Obviously they have been walking for so long, it is impossible for them to stay on the top of the mountain!Even the big black stone that Zhu Juren rested on was still placed there at the same angle as before.Looking at it this way, they walked for more than ten minutes just now, and they only walked a few steps away!

Zhu Juren was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat.Clothes stuck to his back, and he turned his head to look around in horror.There were still gullies everywhere, desolate mountain scenery, a gust of wind blew across the top of the mountain, and the small stones on the ground rolled to Zhu Juren's feet.

Yan Bai snorted coldly, stepped forward to block Zhu Juren, and said calmly, "Come out."

There is silence in all fields, only the sound of wind and rolling stones.

Zhu Juren hid behind him and poked his head out: "Brother Yan, is it a monster? What monster?"

Yan Bai crushed a piece of gravel with his foot, bent down to pick up the broken piece of stone and weighed it in his hand: "Mountain demon."

troll?There is not even a single animal here, where is the mountain monster?Just as Zhu Juren was about to ask for clarification, he felt his feet shaking.

Under his panicked gaze, the entire mountain began to shake violently.It turned out that the stone that had rolled to his feet began to roll back in the opposite direction, rolling all the way to the edge of the cliff and falling. The big black stone was also pushed by an invisible force, and fell down the cliff immediately after.

A puff of black air emerged from under the cliff, the black air rose higher and higher, the mountain trembled more and more violently, and the last person walked out of the black air.

The other party was also dressed in a black robe, his hair was disheveled and scattered behind his head, his face was terribly pale, and after glancing at Zhu Juren coldly, he focused all his eyes on Yan Bai in front of him.

Zhu Juren secretly let out a breath—when he was being targeted just now, the cold air shot up from the soles of his feet, and went straight through his body into his head. He was clearly a dead man in the eyes of the man in black!

"Mountain demon? Hmph, I'm not that lowly monster." The man in black's voice was hoarse and low, with a sneer on his face, "Snake demon, get away, I only want the man behind you, who looks like a demon For the sake of class, you can get out."

Yan Bai remained motionless: "Since you are a monster transformed from the whole mountain, what is it if you are not a mountain monster? You can't eat this human being."

The man in black looked even colder: "You're looking for death!" As soon as he waved his hand, a large piece of stone flew into the air, roaring, and threw it at Yan Bai and Zhu Juren behind him.

Zhu Juren felt his body was pushed back vigorously, and he staggered a few steps back only to hear Yan Bai shout: "Hurry up and go down the mountain!" Then he was completely wrapped in stones, forming a stone cocoon in the shape of a human.

Zhu Juren was stunned, and just about to go up to help, he heard Yan Bai's voice muffled through the stones: "You will slow down here! Go down the mountain first!" Although the words were blurred, it could be heard that he was still very nervous. calm.

Thinking of the power he showed in the fairyland of the murals, Zhu Ju felt certain that before he had time to thank him, he turned around and ran down the mountain, avoiding the stones blocking the way and shouting: "Brother Yan, I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain! "

The descent went smoothly this time, probably because fear gave Zhu Juren strength, he rushed to the foot of the mountain in one breath, and when he recovered, he was already standing by the road.He originally wanted to follow the agreement with Yan Bai and wait at the foot of the mountain, but he was hit by the falling stones and had to stay away from the rocky mountain.

The mountain was still shaking, more violently than before.From such a distance, Zhu Juren could still see the dust rising from the top of the mountain, and the flashes of light from time to time, which lasted from afternoon to evening.When the western sky was dyed rose red by the setting sun, the shaking of the stone mountain finally stopped.

Zhu Juren jumped up from the resting tree, rubbed his hands on the spot and waited for a long time, but he didn't see half a figure appearing from the exit of the downhill path.He hesitated, wondering if he should go back and see the situation.It's fine if Brother Yan wins, but if he loses... Isn't he a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

He decided to wait a little longer, and wait for another stick of incense, and he would go back if he couldn't wait for a stick of incense.After all, brother Yan fought that monster to protect him, he couldn't escape by himself so ungrateful.

After burning incense, Zhu Juren checked his equipment: a bookcase, half a bag of dry food, and half a bamboo tube of water. After searching all over the ground for a long time, he found a fist-sized stone as a weapon and packed it tightly in his hand. ——There is a bigger one, but unfortunately he can't move it.

Just a few steps up from the exit of the downhill path, a black figure came out from the corner of the path.Zhu Juren was so nervous that the wind was jittery, and when he saw someone, he shook his hands and closed his eyes in fright, and was about to throw them up.He raised his hand high before he was caught by someone.

"It's okay." Yan Bai's calm voice sounded like fairy music in Zhu Juren's ears at this moment, he opened his eyes to confirm that there was no wound on Yan Bai's body, and there was nothing abnormal except for some dust on his sleeves. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.

He let go of his hand, and the fist-sized stone fell on the gravel road: "Where's the monster?"

Yan Bai smiled slightly, turned his head and glanced at the top of the mountain: "He's fine now."

He didn't know each other without fighting, but he and the monster started admiring each other and became friends.The world of monsters is very simple. If I like you, we are friends; if I don’t like you, you can either get out or fight with me. If you win, I get out. If you lose, you get out. In the process of fighting, life and death depend on your own ability .Compared with the common intrigue between human beings, the more powerful the monster, the simpler the mind.From this aspect, monsters are indeed much stronger than humans.
