Through the dim moonlight, you can see the shadows of the surrounding trees swaying gently.
There was the sound of insects chirping in the distance, but the low sound was clear in the night, as if it was ringing next to my ears.
Qin Zhong could rarely experience such a silent night in his previous life.
In this world, you can experience it all the time.
Although we are already familiar with it, every time I am alone and experience the quiet time under the moon, I feel comfortable.
A long time ago, Qin Chong often fell into deep sleep at night like this. I still remember that when he was a child.
At that time, there were not so many busy jobs and tedious things.
Qin Chong still lives in the countryside, an ordinary mountain village.
The night was very bright at that time, and the stars in the sky were the real sea of stars. Mr. Qin Zhong could not count how many shining stars hung in the sky.
The beautiful spots on the moon can still be clearly seen.
Under the moonlight, his parents told little Qin Zhong the ancient myths and stories passed down from generation to generation.
The patterns on the moon are laurel trees covering the entire moon, and there is a woodcutter under the tree.
As I grew up, I never saw the bright nights like when I was a child.
No one told Qin Zhong the story of that time again.
People are always busy and cannot stop and take another look at the things around them.
Qin Chong always thought that when he grew old, he would return to such a quiet and leisurely life.
Until, come to this world.
At that time, the goals I worked hard for and the good wishes I once had were like bubbles and could not be touched.
Close your eyes.
The lonely night around me seems to still be imprinted in my heart.
After a while, everything fell into a blur.
The past and this life are constantly entangled and mixed together.
Until everything around him became chaotic, and everything seemed to disappear.
The wind is still blowing.
The moon crossed a long distance in the sky until it disappeared in the faint morning light.
When I open my eyes, nothing around me has changed at all.
It's still this ordinary little yard.
Only the crowing of cocks not far away summons the vitality of the world that is about to begin.
Xu Yangzi opened the door and stretched.
It's another sunny day.
It would be even better if there were no things that we are about to face.
I moved my left arm and it was fine. It has fully recovered.
This is the benefit of practicing Taoism. If it were such a serious scratch yesterday, if it were an ordinary person, it would take five or six days to recuperate. However, as a Taoist, it would be as good as before after a sleep.
It's just that his face is still a little pale, but there's nothing I can do about it. This is the backlash caused by the damage to his natal magic weapon, and it will take a short period of time to recover.
But it doesn't matter. It's just a reason to go back to the mountain gate early and continue to stay at home. Now the master can't say anything about himself, right?
The only thing that didn't go well was the two fellow Taoists from Qingyun Sect, who insisted on finding the bear demon.
Alas, I can only suffer a little and look at them. Who calls me a good person?
Go out of the room, take a breath of fresh air in the yard, and stretch your muscles.
He raised his head and found Qin Zhong standing on the roof, motionless, looking at the bamboo forest in the distance in trance.
"Fellow Daoist Qin got up so early."
Xu Yangzi murmured: "The shameful morning exercise just now was not seen, right?"
Xu Yangzi felt a little embarrassed.
He greeted Qin Zhong: "Good morning, fellow Taoist Qin."
Qin Chong came back to his senses when he heard a voice calling him from the yard.
The genius had just dawned, and Xu Yangzi had already gotten up.
"Good morning, fellow Taoist Xu Yangzi."
Qin Chong smiled and said to Xu Yangzi.
After saying hello, Qin Zhong returned to the yard.
"Qindao friendship is very special."
Xu Yangzi smiled at Qin Zhong and glanced at the roof.
Qin Chong was stunned. Xu Yangzi seemed to have misunderstood him. He didn't explain, but just smiled at Xu Yangzi.
After all, it’s not easy to explain, so just misunderstand it. After all, it’s not too strange a hobby.
Two people were chatting in the yard.
Xu Yangzi was a little curious about Qingyun Sect and asked Qin Zhong about things in Qingyun Sect.
I didn't think so when we first met yesterday, but now after chatting for a while, I realized that Xu Yangzi talks a lot.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, when I was on the mountain, I heard Master mention that all the Daoist fellows of Qingyun Sect are very advanced in cultivation, especially Senior Brother Xiao Yicai and Senior Brother Qi Hao, who are the leading disciples of the present generation, are far beyond us.
Fellow Taoist Qin, can you tell Xiaodao about these two fellow Taoists in detail?"
"Senior Brother Qin, I am injured right now. Otherwise, if you and I are so close to each other, we will definitely have a good discussion with Senior Brother."
"Brother Qin, I heard that all Xiaozhufeng of Qingyun Sect are female disciples, is it true?"
···
This Xu Yangzi was still a familiar person. In just a few words, he changed his name to Qin Zhong several times.
He is always very interested and can always find topics to talk about.
At the beginning, Qin Zhong explained Xu Yangzi's problem in detail.
It didn't take long to discover that Xu Yangzi just asked whatever he thought of on a whim.
Qin Chong began to mutter a few perfunctory words.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yangzi didn't care at all and was still happily chatting with Qin Zhong.
Fortunately, although Qin Chong usually doesn't talk much, he is not unfamiliar with this kind of situation, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to cope with it.
Not long after, Lu Xueqi also came out.
The old mayor and his family also got up early.
The family is cleaning up and making breakfast in the kitchen.
Lu Xueqi just stayed quietly beside Qin Zhong, listening to the two people talking without interrupting. Although the expression on her face was plain, she didn't have the indifference that usually kept people away from thousands of miles away.
When Xu Yangzi saw Lu Xueqi coming over, he automatically put aside some more in-depth questions.
After saying hello to Lu Xueqi, he also tried to talk to Lu Xueqi.
However, the expression on Lu Xueqi's face did not change at all, and she only occasionally replied with simple syllables such as "um" to Xu Yangzi's words.
This made Xu Yangzi a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, my junior sister usually has such a temper. Brother Dao, please bear with me."
Qin Zhong explained to Xu Yangzi.
"nothing."
Xu Yangzi smiled.
After that, I no longer took the initiative to talk to Lu Xueqi, lest others ignore me and I would be embarrassed again.
After chatting for a short time, the old mayor invited several people to have breakfast.
After breakfast, the three of them parted ways with the mayor and his family.
Under the leadership of Xu Yangzi, we walked towards the bamboo forest outside the town.
"Brother Qin, Junior Sister Lu, not far ahead is the mountain peak where the bear demon is, so be careful."
Qin Chong looked ahead. After leaving Black Bamboo Town, there was a sea of bamboo in the distance, with no end in sight.
We marched for dozens of miles through the bamboo forest and passed two small hills before we arrived here.
In front of it is a mountain peak that is obviously much higher than the surrounding mountains. Here is a dense black bamboo forest.
Perhaps because no one has been here for a long time, the black bamboos on this mountain peak are much taller and denser.
Looking forward, there are dense bamboos everywhere, and you can't see too far away.
In this kind of environment, if you are not careful, you can easily be attacked in secret.
Qin Zhong nodded to Xu Yangzi.
As Xu Yangzi walked forward, he said: "I came here yesterday and found the bear demon halfway up the mountain. The bamboo forest here is too dense and the sight is not very good. When I saw the bear demon, it was 30 meters away from the bear demon.
The distance was also very close. At that time, we could no longer distance ourselves. In addition, I saw that the bear demon was not in good condition, so I attacked it. Unexpectedly, the bear demon was so powerful that I was injured.
"
"Brother Qin, Junior Sister Lu, you must be careful. Don't get too close to the bear demon. Once I find the bear demon, I won't be able to take action. If the magic weapon is attacked by the bear demon again, it will be seriously injured.
It couldn’t be any harder.”
"clear."
Qin Zhong said to Xu Yangzi: "Brother Dao, don't worry about us two for a while. Just retreat. We all have the means to protect ourselves."
"That's good."
Xu Yangzi also felt relieved.
The three of them continued walking towards the mountain.
Not long after, Qin Chong heard a faint sound coming from the mountain.
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
Xu Yangzi looked at Qin Zhong in shock. He didn't hear any sound. Apart from the footsteps of his three people, what else was there nearby?
"It seemed like the sound of someone fighting on the mountain."
Lu Xueqi said to Qin solemnly.
"Well, it seems that the situation has changed."
Qin nodded and looked towards the mountain. Is there anyone else here to eradicate the bear demon?
Seeing the change in their expressions, Xu Yangzi tried hard to listen to the movements on the mountain, and after a moment he looked at Qin Zhong and the two.
"I didn't hear anything, what's going on?"
I wanted to ask the two of them, but I also felt that everyone had heard me, but I didn't find anything by myself. Doesn't it make me look useless?
So he followed behind silently.
Qin Zhong summoned the Sky Thunder Sword and flew above the bamboo forest to see who might be fighting with the bear demon.
Lu Xueqi and Xu Yangzi both followed Qin Zhong and headed towards the direction where the sound came from.
Not long after, Xu Yangzi also heard the noise going up the mountain, but the noise that could be heard at this time was already loud, and he could also see the light coming from the distance on the mountain.
Xu Yangzi couldn't help but look at the two people in front of him and realized that his cultivation seemed to be a little behind them.
"Are all the disciples of Qingyun Sect so powerful? It turns out that Master didn't lie to me."
Suddenly he felt a little discouraged. The less famous disciples in Qingyun Sect were all much stronger than him. Did he seem too weak?
Not long after, Qin Zhong and the others arrived at the scene of the battle.
In the place ahead, large tracts of bamboo forest have long been destroyed.
In the center of the ground is a huge black and white bear. The giant bear roars angrily in the center, standing on its hind legs supporting its body. It is ten meters tall. The dense bamboo forest growing not far away seems to be as tall as it is in front of it.
waist-high grass.
The giant bear roared angrily at this time, and kept waving its two front paws to attack several magic weapons surrounding it.
However, the situation at the scene was obviously unfavorable to the giant bear. Those magic weapons were very flexible and caused wounds on it from time to time as they surrounded it.
Although the giant bear was very angry, he could not touch those magic weapons at all. He could only let those magic weapons inflict continuous wounds on himself. As the wounds increased, the black and white fur of the giant bear was dyed blood red.
Looking at the current situation, the ferocious giant bear can no longer hold on for much longer.
Looking at the huge bear demon in the field, Qin Zhong was a little stunned.
It was really difficult to connect the image in front of me with the creature in my memory that seemed to only be able to act cute.
"I didn't expect that the ancestors of these silly guys have such a powerful image."
Qin Zhong murmured.
"Brother Qin, what did you say?"
Xu Yangzi asked.
"This bear demon can't stand it any longer."
Qin Zhong reacted and said.
"Senior brother, he is from the Demon Cult."
Lu Xueqi was staring at the people who were besieging the bear demon at this time, with the desire to fight in her eyes. The Tianya Sword was trembling gently, thinking through the master's thoughts.
Qin Zhong followed Lu Xueqi's gaze.
One of the leaders of the people who besieged the bear demon was wearing a green dress, which made him look eye-catching even in front of this huge and mighty bear demon.
"Ghost King Sect, Baguio!"
"Why is she here?"
The arrival of Qin Zhong and the others was naturally noticed by the crowd below.
Baguio attacked the bear demon while watching the three people in the sky.
Some time ago, I wanted to look for traces of Qin Chong, but I didn't expect to find him now.
Although he suffered a loss at the hands of Qin Zhong, Baguio also caused heavy losses to Qin Zhong on Liupo Mountain.
Now that we meet again, although we are a little caught off guard, we can just see who can gain the upper hand this time.
Everyone below has noticed the arrival of Qin Zhong and the others.
Several of them had also been to Liupo Mountain and had seen the power of Qin Zhong and Lu Xueqi's actions.
While continuing to besiege the bear demon who was about to end his life, he gathered around Baguio and looked at Qin Zhong and the others with vigilant eyes.
The people around Baguio were all extremely powerful, and Qin Zhong looked solemn.
"Brother Dao, please retreat first, leave this place to us."
Xu Yangzi looked at Qin Zhong, and then at the Demon Cult people below.
With his strength, he can't even break through the bear demon's defense. Any one of the demon sects below can easily leave wounds on the bear demon's body.
Xu Yangzi also understood that there was a huge difference in strength between himself and these people. Logically speaking, when encountering such a strong demon sect, he would naturally run as far as he could.
What's more, Qin Chong also asked himself to leave.
"Brother Qin."
Xu Yangzi opened his mouth to Qin Zhong. Seeing the appearance of Qin Zhong and the others, he had no intention of leaving. If he retreated now, wouldn't he risk the death of his fellow Taoists?
"The demon sect is so powerful that it's better to take a long-term approach."
Qin Zhong looked at Xu Yangzi, whose face was a little pale but stood there without retreating at all.
He smiled and said: "Brother Dao, my junior sister and I have some grudges with these lowly people. Brother Dao was injured yesterday. It is not convenient to take action now, so we can just stand back and watch."
"We are not reckless people, please rest assured, Brother Dao."
"On the other hand, Brother Dao, his injuries have not recovered yet. If he were there, he would inevitably be injured if he used his hands later."
Looking at Qin Zhong's calm eyes, Xu Yangzi took a while to react.
I originally thought that the two people who were similar to me were far superior to me in strength, otherwise they would not be so calm now. Looking at Lu Xueqi next to me, she now looks even more motivated to fight.
Xu Yangzi's face turned red, and he said to Qin Zhong with some shame: "I'm really ashamed that I can't help Brother Qin."
He glanced at the demon sect below and felt dissatisfied with his own strength. He used to look at the sky from a well and thought he was not much worse than the disciples of the Qingyun Sect. But now he realized that the gap was really too big.
In this situation, he didn't even have the qualifications to take action.
Leaving far away is all I can do now to prevent myself from becoming a drag.
After Xu Yangzi left, Qin Zhong and the two looked down again.
The giant bear now has no strength to stand up anymore, and a large area of land around it has been stained red with blood.
The giant bear has a strong look of unwillingness and sadness in its eyes, but now it cannot make any changes. It understands that its life is coming to an end.
