.

There was silence everywhere, except for the sound of branches bursting from the fire from time to time. Neither the strange boy nor Gui Li spoke anymore, and the flames stretched and contracted, burning between them.

The color of the surface of the roasted pig gradually turned golden, and a slight burnt smell emerged from the rich aroma. At this time, the entire surface of the roasted pig was covered with a transparent layer of light oil droplets. Gui Li finally roasted it

The pig turned a few times and said, "That's it, you can eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hui and Taotie rushed forward at the same time. Xiao Hui screamed "Zhi Zhi" and stretched out his hand to grab one of the hind legs of the roasted pig. The pig skin that was being roasted seemed to have no feeling at all in its hands.

It seemed like that. But the Taotie was even more powerful. He opened his huge mouth without using his hands, feet, and claws. Regardless of the fact that the pork was still above the flames, he stuck his head in and took a bite.

When Taotie opened his mouth, his already huge mouth became even bigger and scary. A huge roast pig was actually bitten by this monster, leaving only one hind leg caught by Xiao Hui and left outside.

Xiao Hui was furious, and the monkey had an angry expression on his face. He held on to the pig leg in his hand and jumped to his feet and screamed at the same time. The gluttonous beast didn't care about it. The sharp teeth in its mouth "cracked" and bit it, and it was like destroying everything.

Biting the delicious pork into two pieces, Xiao Hui was caught off guard. He fell backwards with too much force and rolled twice on the ground. When he stood up, he only held a pig leg in his hand.

As for most of the delicious roasted pig, it was now being bitten into the mouth by the glutton, chewing it loudly. It seemed that the remaining pig bones were also directly bitten into pieces and swallowed into the belly. The food was like a wind and a cloud, sweeping away thousands of troops, especially

The four eyes on the face were squeezed to both sides of the face by the bulging mouth, but they still shone brightly. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the meal.

"Squeak, squeak..." Xiao Hui saw that most of the delicious food that originally belonged to him was snatched away by this evil beast. How could he not be angry? However, after shouting a few times, he lowered his head and started to eat.

It's fast, but I've eaten most of a pork leg in a while.

"Roar..." Taotie's deep roar sounded again. He slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Hui. Such a big roast pig was eaten clean by it in just a short time.

After swallowing it, not even the bones were left. And it was obvious that the gluttonous appetite was not yet exhausted. His eyes were shining, staring at the last meaty bone in Xiao Hui's hand.

Xiao Hui viciously ate the last piece of meat, and his three eyes widened at the same time, looking at Taotie. Taotie's mouth was salivating, and he walked towards Xiao Hui step by step. Xiao Hui waved fiercely, and the remaining bones in his hands moved in another direction.

He threw it from a distance, with a look of gloating on his face. Unexpectedly, Taotie's figure flashed like lightning, and in the blink of an eye he soared into the air and caught up with the flying bones, biting them in one bite, and made a twist in the air.

, flew back and landed next to the young man. But at this time, Taotie seemed to know that this was the last thing, so he didn't swallow it in one bite. Instead, he looked at it with great care, sticking out his tongue to lick the meat and bones.

Xiao Hui was frightened by Taotie's appearance. After a while, he turned to Gui Li and suddenly danced and squeaked. Gui Li looked at it for a while, then suddenly his face changed and he said, "You said it looks like rhubarb?"

Xiao Hui nodded immediately, and then looked at Taotie. The anger on the monkey's face gradually faded, replaced by a strange but warm look. It looked at Taotie who was licking the meat bones for a while, and then moved over carefully.

He slowly stretched out his hand, looking as if he wanted to touch Taotie's ferocious head. Taotie's ferocious head turned and let out a low growl in alarm. Xiao Hui immediately jumped back, but then he let out two low-pitched screams.

Approaching Taotie again, Taotie's attention seemed to have temporarily left the bones and was placed on Xiao Hui.

After a moment, Xiao Hui's hand stretched out again. Taotie made no move, but all four eyes were looking at Xiao Hui's hand, while Gui Li and the boy remained silent, especially the boy's eyes had a strange light.

, silently watching the exchange between these two strange beasts.

Xiao Hui's hand touched Taotie's head and touched it gently. Taotie growled twice in his mouth, but he no longer had any objection. His attention returned to the meaty bone in front of him, and Xiao Hui then slowly

He slowly approached this strange beast and gently stroked Taotie's body with his hands. A happy look appeared on the monkey's face.

Gui Li slowly lowered his head and vaguely remembered that many years ago on Dazhu Peak, Xiao Hui and Da Huang seemed to have become close like this. Time is like water, and it turns out that Xiao Hui still remembers that time...

The young man suddenly broke the silence and said with a slight smile: "I didn't expect that the two of them are very destined, right?"

Gui Li glanced at Xiao Hui and Taotie, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, and said, "Not bad."

The young man turned his head, added a small branch to the fire, and fell silent again. After a long time, he suddenly smiled and said: "This Taotie has been following me for I don't know how many years. I always thought that I was taking care of it. No.

I just realized today that it turns out to be much happier than me." The smile on his face seemed to have a hint of bitterness, and he said: "In addition to eating and drinking, even if we are not the same kind, there is still a monkey like you who is willing to be with it.

Be friends.”

Gui Li looked up at the young man and saw that his face was desolate, as if he had an indescribable loneliness. He said lightly: "If you are lonely, just find a friend."

The young man snorted and said proudly: "This world is so big, who is worthy of being my friend, and who dares to be my friend?"

Gui Li frowned. The young man's tone was really exaggerated, and he felt a little disgusted. However, he saw that the young man seemed to have remembered something, and his face became sad. He whispered to himself: "But, it turns out there is a person. I really believe her."

of……"

Gui Li looked at him through the burning flames in front of him and said calmly: "How?"

The young man's face turned cold and he sneered: "Later, I found out that she was lying to me. Not only that, she also made me miserable and almost beyond redemption!"

Gui Li was silent. From the look of the young man, he unexpectedly recalled the past that was buried deep in his heart ten years ago. The face of that kind monk seemed to appear in front of him again...

He suddenly shook his head violently, but with force in his hands, the branches he was adding to the fire made a slight hoarse sound, turned into powder, and scattered all over the ground.

The young man glanced at his hand and suddenly said: "Do you also have such sad past events?"

Gui Li looked gloomy and said nothing. The young man looked at him, his eyes flickering, and suddenly said: "If you are going to die now, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Gui Li was startled, feeling confused for a moment. In an instant, he was flooded with thoughts. This question he had never thought about was suddenly placed in front of him. Deep hatred, great hatred, ten years of long-cherished wishes, lingering white clothes, this life is full of wind and rain,

But I have never thought about what is the last wish in my heart?

It was time to save Baguio. If he could save her, he would be willing to die! He had thought about this thought many times in his mind during countless nights in the past ten years. But he still had that frosty face, after all.

Unable to give up, floating gently in a quiet corner of my heart...

He was crazy for a moment, the night wind was blowing, and he didn't know how much time had passed. When he woke up, the young man had disappeared, and the gluttonous food on the ground seemed to have just soared into the sky, blending into the dark night, and came from afar.

Its low roaring voice.

Xiao Hui jumped up to his shoulder and squeaked twice. Gui Li slowly raised his head to look at the sky and suddenly whispered: "Xiao Hui, I always want to see her again, right?"

Xiao Hui didn't seem to understand and was too lazy to pay attention. He raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he was still looking for Taotie's figure.

The gradually extinguished embers of the fire gradually turned into a wisp of smoke, gently drifting away. Gui Li and Xiao Hui stood silently in the deep mountain forest. For a long time, only a low voice could be heard faintly in the night wind.

.

"...always have to see her..."

As time goes by, this catastrophe in the world becomes more and more tragic. Monsters and alien races have entered the middle-earth, and the people have suffered heavy casualties. Most of the disciples sent by the righteous way to investigate have disappeared. The few disciples who are slightly higher in the way have returned, and all of them have been killed.

When I reported to all the decent teachers and commanders, I said extremely how terrifying the monster was.

The world is in ruins, but the righteous people are helpless. At this time, the news comes out that the three major righteous sects, Qingyunmen, Tianyin Temple, and Fenxiang Valley, have formed an alliance in Qingyun Mountain and invited the world's righteous people to jointly deal with this catastrophe. Suddenly, the world's cultivators are

People flocked to Qingyun Mountain one after another. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people gathered near Qingyun Mountain as never before, and most of them were people from China who had fled. In their eyes,

, these god-like monastic figures in Qingyun Mountain are already their last hope.

Qingyunmen, who was responsible for the reception, was very busy. More and more Taoist friends and people came to Qingyun. Soon, the guest rooms on Qingyunmen’s Tongtian Peak were no longer enough, so other branches had to open their rooms. Fortunately, Qingyunmen

After all, it is a thousand-year-old sect with deep roots and great achievements, so it was finally accommodated. However, the Xiaozhufeng branch among the seven branches has always been a female disciple, and Master Shuiyue has a strange temperament, so it has not been opened to the outside world, which has left many

The young expatriate disciple who had long admired his reputation was very sorry.

But no matter what, even though the catastrophe is approaching, this time is still an unprecedented gathering of righteousness. Qingyun Sect is the landlord, and its reputation has increased even more than before. The world has vaguely looked to Qingyun as the leader.

Meaning, Daoxuan Zhenren, the head of the Qingyun Sect, is now firmly seated as the number one person in the world.

At night, the peaks up and down the Qingyun Mountains are brightly lit, a spectacle that has never been seen in thousands of years. Far away at the bottom of the mountain, with the mountain wind blowing, it seems that you can also hear people talking and laughing high on the mountain, because

People who were frightened by the catastrophe seemed to feel much more relaxed under such circumstances. After all, even if the sky fell, wouldn't there be a Qingyun Mountain above their heads?

At this moment, the quietest place on Qingyun Mountain is probably Xiaozhu Peak. After the Qingyun Sect’s kind explanation, all the sects strictly restrained their disciples and strictly prohibited them from approaching Xiaozhu Peak. After all, under the current situation, if there is still trouble, If there is a farce about a prodigal son, no one will look good.

Compared with the bustle on the other peaks, Xiaozhufeng seems much cleaner. Occasionally, two or three beautiful female disciples of Xiaozhufeng pass by on the mountain road. The mountain breeze blows, and the tear bamboos all over the mountain sway together, making rustling sounds. the sound of.

The moonlight was cold that night, shining on the Xiaozhufeng mountain path. Bamboo shadows were whirling, and the shadows were swaying on the steps of the mountain path. Four or five Xiaozhufeng female disciples came from a distance, and the first one was Wen Min. I saw including The female disciples, including Wen Min, all had gloomy expressions and frowned, as if they were very worried.

The cold wind blew through the bamboo forest, and there seemed to be black shadows flickering.

The youngest girl next to Wenmin looked to be only about thirteen years old. She was quite timid. She glanced at the darkness, her face was a little pale, she came close to Wenmin, grabbed her clothes, and said softly: "Big, senior sister ,Then, there seems to be someone there!"

Wenmin and the others were suddenly startled, and looked over together. After a moment, Wenmin showed a smile on his face, patted the little girl's face, and said: "Little poem, that is the shadow of the bamboo branches swaying when the mountain wind blows them." , it’s like this every night, you just went up the mountain not long ago, you’ll know it after a while.”

The girl named Xiaoshi breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little scared, but she seemed to remember something again, and suddenly turned around and glanced at the back mountain, saying: "Sister, there is not even a human figure around the moon viewing platform in the back mountain. There are people everywhere." These are these spooky things. If we leave Senior Sister Xueqi there alone, will she be afraid?"

Wen Min's face turned gloomy, and he sighed and said: "It was the head master who asked you, Senior Sister Xueqi, to reflect there. There is nothing we can do, but Senior Sister Xueqi shouldn't be afraid!"

Another woman standing behind Wen Min suddenly snorted, with a sense of injustice, and said: "I really don't understand, why does the head master treat Xue Qi like this, just because she refuses to agree to Fenxiang Valley's marriage proposal? "

"Pa", deep in the bamboo forest, there seemed to be a slight low sound, like some small animal stepped on the bamboo branches. However, all the women's attention was attracted at the moment, and they did not hear the sound. Only the youngest Xiao Shi She seemed a little suspicious, but she glanced deep into the bamboo forest and saw shadows shaking. She couldn't help but her face turned pale again, and she quickly turned her head away.

Wen Min sighed and said: "Actually, Brother Li Xun is really not bad. He is a talented person and has a good background. In the future, the position of the owner of Fenxiang Valley will probably be passed to him. And judging from his appearance, he also cherishes Xue Qi very much. , but the word love really cannot be forced."

Another woman suddenly complained in a low voice: "Master, it's true, knowing Xue Qi's temper, why didn't he help her intercede with the head master?"

The original woman shook her head and said: "I don't think it's right. Xue Qi turns out to be the most obedient to Master and respects the leader, Uncle Daoxuan, but this time she openly contradicted the two of them on Tongtian Peak. I don't think... "She suddenly lowered her voice and whispered: "Could it be that Xue Qi already has someone in mind..."

"Shut up!" Wen Min suddenly shouted in a low voice. Everyone was shocked. Wen Min's face relaxed slightly, but his tone was still very stern. He whispered: "We must not talk nonsense about this kind of speculation, otherwise if it reaches the head master

In the ears of Bo and Master, I am afraid that the consequences will be disastrous."

Everyone was silent. The woman standing behind Wen Min was silent for a moment and whispered: "Senior sister, in fact, from my point of view, I'm afraid we can only think of what kind of people the master uncle and master are, how could we not think of them?

This time, the headmaster and the master deliberately agreed to propose marriage in Fenxiang Valley, probably because they knew that Xue Qi had something in her heart..."

Wen Min turned his head sharply and stared at her. The woman's face changed slightly, she sighed, and stopped talking. Wen Min heard her sigh, and was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Junior Sister Lin, in fact, how we all feel

It's all the same. Although Xueqi and the rest of us started at different times, over the past ten years or so, we have become like sisters. No one wants to see her become like this. But... alas, neither do I.

I know what to say, anyway, I think Master always loves Xue Qi the most, so he won’t embarrass her too much after all.”

The other female disciples walked away slowly, talking in low voices, and there were faint sighs, and they gradually walked away.

The shadows of the bamboo forest swayed, and suddenly a black shadow seemed to float out from the deep darkness and landed on the mountain road. It was Gui Li. In this place surrounded by mortal enemies, his face looked pale and he was silent for a long time, then slowly turned back

Looking at the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak. Behind the bamboo forest, the moonlight is as clear as frost. Legend has it that this is the viewing platform of Xiaozhu Peak, one of the six scenic spots in Qingyun.
