Chapter 1 Encounter

The catastrophe began in the spring and summer of that year. Thousands of years later, people in the world still remember the horrible and crazy days clearly.

In the extreme south of southern Xinjiang, among the hundreds of thousands of mountains, countless monsters and aliens suddenly swarmed out. Countless, all of them are bloodthirsty, regardless of men and women, old and young. They kill them when they see people. There are also many evil beasts greedy for human flesh, and the places they pass are terrible

The catastrophe broke out from the southern Xinjiang region near 100,000 mountains, and quickly spread to the whole southern Xinjiang. The five ethnic groups in the southern Xinjiang, Miao, Zhuang, Tu, Li and Gaoshan rose up to resist.

But in the face of countless monsters and aliens, especially among the countless fierce monsters and aliens, there are more than a dozen strange monsters with particularly strong magic power and witchcraft. The resistance of the five clans is like a car, which is defeated in a blink of an eye. The southern Xinjiang is full of life and corpses are everywhere.

This incident immediately shook the world and spread all over the world. The people of Middle-earth were shocked and panicked all day long. Some Middle-earth people near the southern region dragged their families and fled to the north, hoping that they would be as far away from this catastrophe as possible.

The monks in the world were shocked. Even the two paths of demons, who had always fought in secret, stopped for the time being, watched the movement of the south secretly, and began to calculate their own countermeasures.

The Zhengdao School in the south burned the incense valley, because Yun Yilan, the owner of the valley, happened to lead most of his disciples to Qingyun Mountain to visit Daoxuan Zhenren, and he actually escaped the disaster.

After the rumor that the incident, the owner of Yunyilan Valley in Qingyun Mountain heard about the misery of the people in southern Xinjiang. He beat his chest and was in pain. He said that if he was there, he would never allow demons to poison the people. Yan Xia was very sad and blamed himself. He had committed suicide to thank the world. Fortunately, the left and right disciples held it, and there were good words of the elders of Qingyunmen. Only then did the Lord of Yungu calm down and vowed to burn the whole valley to avenge the people of southern Xinjiang!

In a few days, Yun Yilan told the world's practitioners in Qingyun Mountain, which showed that today's catastrophe was actually set off by a beast demon. This demon method is high and powerful, and the nature is ferocious, which is not irresistible for the joint attack of the world. In view of this, the Burning

The next day, Tianyin Temple, who received the news, officially responded, agreed with the call of Qingyun and incense burning, and immediately sent people to the alliance.

Zheng Dao hurriedly raised the discussion, and sent several groups of excellent disciples to the south to explore the details of these monsters and aliens. After all, only by knowing yourself and knowing the enemy can they be invincible.

However, the three arrogant sects of the Demon Sect, Ghost King Sect, Wandumen and Hehuan Sect, all suddenly calmed down, as if they were watching each other and not in a hurry to do anything. It was in this situation where the wind and rain were coming, Middle-earth temporarily fell into a strange calm.

This strange calm was finally broken the day before the arrival of the summer solstice, and the strange aliens in southern Xinjiang were finally killed in the middle of the earth.

However, at the beginning, the casualties of the people were not very large, because as early as a month ago, the people near the south had already run clean. It's just that the number of these monsters seems to be increasing and spreading more rapidly. Seeing that they are about to be forced into the hinterland of Middle-earth, it is time for the whole world to be reduced to a miserable place.

It is not clear whether it is amazing news or true or false rumors, but the shocking news does come one after another. Yesterday, it was said that a village was washed with blood, and today it is rumored that the whole city has turned into ruins, spending every day in panic and fear. For everyone, it's so uncomfortable and panicked.

It's just that for those who are heartless, even if the whole world is dead, it seems that it is none of their business. Gui Li has been staying with Zhou Yixian, Xiaohuan and wild dogs for more than a month. Even he doesn't know why he has been following them all the time. Maybe he has long felt that there is no place to go, and it's natural.

Among the group, Zhou Yixian is the most opposed to Gui Li's people around him. Not to mention that there is one more guy eating free food, but he can't do some chores like a wild dog Taoist. He either drinks or sleeps all day long, and on the contrary, he often needs people to take care of him.

When it comes to white food, Gui Li is just drinking a little wine. Zhou Yi Xian's biggest thorn now is the three-eyed monkey following Gui Li. Xiao Hui not only eats an amazing amount of food, but also far from Gui Li, a drunk person who is drunk. Compared with a large bag of strong wine, the monkey's face If it hadn't been for Xiaohuan's insistence on taking this person and a monkey anyway, Zhou Yixian would have run as far as he can.

As for the wild dog Taoist, since that night, he suddenly wanted to plot against the ghost, but was found and stopped by Xiao Hui. In the end, he was spared by the ghost. Since then, the wild dog Taoist has been more silent and often did not say a word for several days.

However, in the past few days, whether it is Zhou Yixian or Xiaohuan, who is nagging and complaining, including the silent wild dog Taoist, they have gradually found that there seems to be some changes in Gui Li. Although it is difficult for them to say it clearly, Gui Li has indeed gradually woken up. The most obvious manifestation is that he began Come on, sometimes he didn't drink all night, but his behavior was also very strange - Gui Li often sat with Xiao Hui, facing the north, stunned, as if he was thinking about something.

The news of the catastrophe in the south gradually spread as the people fleeing to the north to the north, and Zhou Yixian and others also knew about it.

Among the crowd, Zhou Yixian was stunned when he heard the news, then meditated for a long time, shook his head, and then sighed all day, saying where to escape?

As for the others, they are not as worried as him. Gui Li and the wild dog Taoist are both worried, and Xiao Huan doesn't seem to pay attention to the crisis that sounds relatively far away. For her, she usually plays with Xiao Hui, occasionally takes care of Gui Li to talk to him, and her life is also enjoyable.

However, under the insistence of Zhou Yixian, this group of people finally went north. According to Zhou Yixian, the farther away from the south, at least it is easier for people to live. But with more and more refugees coming from the south along the way, the situation in the news seems to be getting worse and worse. The monster aliens coming out of the 100,000 mountains are like broken bamboos. They have eaten wildly all the way and have gradually been forced into the hinterland of Middle-earth.

A few days ago, there was even a lot of news that the monster aliens had killed a city hundreds of miles behind them, which scared Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan and others to hurry. Although they soon learned that the news was a rumor, people's fear can be seen from this.

Late at night, the group of people slept in the wild, made a fire on a small hill, sat around the fire, and only the ghost sat in the distance.

Xiaohui jumped out of the darkness and held a lot of wild fruits in his hand. I don't know where he picked them. He jumped on the ghost's shoulder two or three times. After sitting down, he ate a lot.

Zhou Yixian looked over there, pondered for a while, looked at the little ring and the wild dog Taoist next to him, and said, "I have something to tell you. "

Xiaohuan was a little strange. He looked at Zhou Yixian and said, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yixian just wanted to open his mouth when Xiao Hui, who suddenly sat on Gui Li's shoulder, seemed to find something and shouted loudly. Everyone was shocked. They didn't know what was going on. They stood up one after another, walked behind Xiaohui, and looked in the direction of his hands and feet dancing. In the dim light, on the ancient road under the hill, there was a group of people, men, women and children. They all looked exhausted, but they still staggered forward.

Zhou Yixian looked at it for a long time, sighed and said, "The escapees from the south."

Everyone was silent and no one spoke. Zhou Yixian was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, that's what I want to say. At present, I don't know what's going on in the south, but suddenly many monster barbarians kill people when they see people. This can't be wrong. In the past few days, we have seen many people fleeing to the north. I think we will speed up our journey and run to the north.

Xiaohuan frowned and said, "Grandpa, it's right to go north. Anyway, we have always been wandering around, but the north is so big. I heard that those monsters and aliens move very fast. Do you have a good place to hide?"

Zhou Yixian stared at her and said, "Didn't you listen to the rumors these days? Some of those monsters have some skills, some have smart noses, and some have good hearing. Whether you hide in a tree, hide in the cellar, or even run to the deep mountains, you will be found and eaten. Where can I find a place to hide when I encounter such a monster?

Xiaohuan looked bitter and said, "Then what should we do? Will we be eaten by those monsters sooner or later?"

Zhou Yixian snorted and said, "Nonsense, how can I die in the mouths of these beasts? I have calculated it for a long time. At this moment, there is only one place that is the safest.

Xiaohuan was shocked, and the wild dog Taoist next to him and even the ghost's body moved. He looked at Zhou Yixian. Zhou Yixian felt a little proud. "Hey hey" smiled twice. Xiaohuan was surprised and happy and said, "Grandpa, is there such a place? Tell me!"

Zhou Yixian coughed twice, and then said solemnly, "Qingyun Mountain."

The face of the wild dog Taoist changed, and Gui Li turned his head. Only Xiaohuan was a little surprised and said, "I know that Qingyun Mountain is where Qingyunmen is located. There are many monks, but after all, it's just the power of a faction. When you meet those strange beasts, it's good to protect yourself

Zhou Yixian laughed and said, "You don't know that. Although there is no news yet, I expected that the Fenxiang Valley and the schools of Tianyin Temple will definitely meet in Qingyun, because the old man Yun Yilan is in Qingyun at this moment. In addition, in the battle of Qingyun ten years ago, Qingyunmen's "

Gui Li heard these four words beside him, and his body trembled violently.

Zhou Yixian did not pay attention to him and continued to say happily, "The Jade Dynasty sword of Qingyunmen is in the limelight. Everyone knows that the sword array has earth-shaking magic power, so if it is in Qingyun, there will be at least one more level of security. I think the righteous people in the world will probably go to Qingyun in a few days to fight against this unprecedented disaster. If we get to Qingyun, we will naturally reach the safest place. With so many monks, they won't watch us ordinary people die!" After saying that, the more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help laughing.

A cold snort suddenly came out in his laughter. Zhou Yixian was stunned and looked at it with Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist. He slowly stood up from the shadows, but did not turn around and said coldly, "I'm afraid that your righteous people will not only see you die, but also kick you behind your back."

Zhou Yixian was mocked by him in front of him, and his face was a little embarrassed. He said angrily, "Bah, anyway, you are a crooked demon, and you will be kicked out if you go..."

The little ring suddenly shouted, "Grandpa!"

Zhou Yixian took a look at Xiaohuan and knew that the words were heavy. He stopped his mouth. Xiaohuan turned to look at Gui Li and hesitated, but finally said, "You, don't listen to what my grandfather said. He is so open-mouthed..."

Zhou Yixian was furious and interrupted, "How dare you say that your own grandfather is unobstructed!"

Xiaohuan ignored him and said to the ghost, "But the situation is really bad now. You'd better go with us. After all, it will be safer than other places..."

Without waiting for Xiaohuan to finish speaking, the ghost said lightly, "No, the world is so big that I have my own place to go."

After saying that, he moved his body and walked forward.

Xiaohuan was shocked, and an anxious look appeared on his face. He said anxiously, "Zhang...you, where are you going?"

Gui Li did not answer. The figure moved forward slowly and faster. Xiao Hui, who was lying on his shoulder, turned his head and looked at the small ring standing on the hill overlooking in a stern, grinned and raised his hand.

Xiaohuan looked at the figure that quickly became smaller and disappeared, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that his heart was suddenly empty, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears.

"Shh!"

The sound of breaking the sky sounded softly, and the ghost figure passed through the night sky. The sky was dark, and there was no starlight. It seemed that even the sky was affected by the southern catastrophe, which seemed gloomy and did not give people any hope.

Leaving Zhou Yixian and others, Gui Li flew south alone for a period of time, but in the night sky, under the dark clouds, but there were gloomy and dark places in all directions. Under the sky, the wilderness was full of mountains, and it was cold and lonely. People were also empty in the air, and they didn't know where to go

Xiaohui, who was lying on his shoulder, suddenly shouted twice. Gui Li glanced at him and saw three eyes in front of him. Xiaohui grinned. For him, it seemed to be happy most of the time. Gui Li's rare face showed a smile and pity. He gently touched the monkey's head, sank and fell to the ground.

The place where you land is a wilderness mountain with dense forests. Seeing that the vegetation is lush, the shrubs are dense, and there is no place to step on in the forest. Thinking of this wilderness, no one has ever come to this mountain or forest. Gui Li's face was pale and fell into the forest. Before he fell, his right hand trembled, and the soul-eating magic wand flew out of his sleeve. He circled under his feet without hearing any strange noise. In a blink of an eye, in this six-foot radius, all the trees, shrubs and thorns suddenly withered and turned into

And with the soul-eating flying back into his hand, Gui Li clearly felt a wisp of thin cold breath swimming in the black stick. Xiao Hui shouted happily, jumped off his shoulder and ran to the depths of the forest. Gui Li looked up at Xiao Hui's back. Since he went to southern Xinjiang, especially Xiao Hui's transformation, his food began to grow rapidly and he always wanted to eat.

The night was dark, and the night wind blew from the field. It blew over the mountain forest, and the woods made a wave-like sound, and countless shadows shook together. Gui Li slowly sat down on the ground and slowly closed his eyes. The shadows of the trees around him flashed on his face. In the dark, he was like a silent ghost.

I don't know how long it took, a low roar faintly came from the distance, and then disappeared. Gui Li frowned slightly and opened his eyes, but his body did not move. Sure enough, after a moment, there was a shaking in the nearby bushes, but the monkey Xiaohui ran back.

For Xiaohui, sharp and annoying thorns, it seems that he doesn't pay attention to it at all. Many times, he stepped on it directly and ran close. Gui Li saw it clearly. He saw Xiaohui put one hand on his chest. Sure enough, he was holding a few wild fruits, but the other hand was dragging behind him, as if

Gui Li couldn't help but feel a little strange. He looked behind him and was shocked. In the shadows, Xiaohui actually ran back with an animal-like thing. It was not small, much bigger than Xiaohui, but it was very easy for Xiaohui to drag it up. After a while, Xiaohui had already run closer, smiled, first put down the wild fruit, and then waved his hand, "Bun"

With a muffled sound, a large piece of thing fell in front of him.

It was an adult wild boar, very big. I'm afraid it would stand up taller than Xiaohui, but at this moment, when I saw a hole in the wild boar's head and bleeding, it was already dead. Gui Li looked at the wound and saw that the wound was still fresh. He was stunned and said to Xiao Hui, "Did you catch it?"

Xiaohui grinned and pointed to the wild boar at the same time, and then to the ghost.

Gui Li sighed and said with a smile, "I'm not hungry."

Xiaohui grabbed his head, blinked his three eyes together, and then pointed to the wild boar and then to himself. Gui Li was teased by it and couldn't help laughing. For a moment, the heavy meaning in his heart went away a lot. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you."

Xiaohui immediately smiled happily. Obviously, he knew that Gui Li's craftsmanship was not small, and it was his favorite. Gui Li rolled up his sleeves and pointed like a knife. He gently scratched the wild boar's belly and immediately scratched the tough pig's skin away. He was skillful. He peeled and boned the wild boar two or three times, and then flew up to find a place with spring water to wash the pork back, set up the wooden frame to make a

The fire was gradually shining, and Xiaohui and Gui Li's faces were a little red by the flames. Xiaohui had eaten a few wild fruits for a long time. At this moment, his eyes were staring at the roast pigs that were gradually coming out of the flame. Gui Li slowly took out all kinds of homemade seasonings from his waist and added some to the meat, then found a small bottle of sesame oil, and began to drip gently on the pork. The sesame oil flows slowly along the pork, is roasted by the flame below, and slowly penetrates into the meat. Soon, the surface of the pork began to turn a light golden yellow. The pork itself oozed transparent oil droplets, and the attractive fragrance then drifted away.

The firelight moved gently, illuminating the faces of monkeys and people, as well as the small open space trees around. The reflection of the tall forest was shaking, as if the wind was roaring. The ghost looked at the burning flame in front of him and gradually came to his mind, while Xiaohui looked at the roast pig with a coveted look, touched his ears and cheeks, and ran to the side from time to break some wooden branches and add them to the fire.

In the silent air, there is a strange and seductive fragrance.

Deep in the woods, a low roar suddenly came from: "Roar!"

The roar was low and powerful, which seemed to be far away, but it still spread clearly, and a sense of killing quickly spread. Gui Li suddenly woke up from his meditation and frowned slowly. His body did not move, but his eyes gradually deepened, looking in the direction where the roar sounded. Xiao Hui jumped on Gui Li's shoulder, and there was no fear on his face. He also looked back.

There was a crack in the flame, a branch burst, and the fragrance of the wild boar became stronger.

Three feet away, there was the dark forest. The wind in the forest seemed to suddenly rise and sounded. After the low roar, it was silent, but the cold and solemn intention of killing almost leaned over here quickly with a tangible nature.

The pupils in Gui Li's eyes contracted slightly, and his eyebrows frowned more tightly.

"Crack!" Another twig finally burst out.

Suddenly, the roaring wind lost its sound, and the whole forest seemed to be still in an instant, and there was no sound. In front of the dark, the dense forest and the entangled thorns suddenly fell to both sides, and a narrow passage that could be walked alone.

A teenager in bright silk clothes, with a handsome face and almost a charming feeling, came out of the darkness step by step. In the night, he was so conspicuous, as if he was shining because of him. Gui Li didn't get up or move. He still sat on the ground and looked directly at the teenager.

The teenager looked at the ghost, and then his eyes fell on Xiaohui, slightly stunned, "Wow"

said, "Three-eyed monkey!"

Gui Li didn't say anything, but Xiao Hui suddenly "squeaked" and looked very angry.

Almost at the same time as Xiao Hui shouted, the low roar just now sounded again. The difference is that this roar sounded directly from behind the teenager.

"Roar..." With this deep and powerful roar, behind the calm teenager, a ferocious strange head slowly rose from his shoulder, four eyes, two pairs of faces up and down, as thick as a copper bell. The mouth is very large, almost as wide as the face. Between the opening, it can be seen that the mouth is full of sharp teeth, especially the six sharp tusks extending outside the mouth, which are even more terrible. Under the tip light of the flame in the field, it can be faintly visible that a drop of saliva drips from the teeth and falls on

Gui Li's face finally changed. He slowly stood up and said coldly, "Gao Yu?"

The teenager had not yet answered, and his eyes were still looking at the ghost. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something. In a blink of an eye, he looked at the gluttony (Note 1) and couldn't help but be stunned. He saw that the fierce eyes of this evil beast had been very greedy at this moment, but the goal was not the ghost

There is a seductive smell of barbecue everywhere in the air.

The teenager suddenly smiled and said to the ghost, "Your craftsmanship is good! I said why I'm restless tonight. I didn't expect to be attracted by you.

Gui Li said lightly, "Although the glutton is an ancient beast, fierce and fast, it has always been greedy, and a roast pig is nothing. "

The teenager shook his head and said, "Otherwise, my glue is different. I haven't paid attention to ordinary food for a long time. I didn't expect to be so greedy by your seemingly rough barbecue."

At this moment, as the teenager said, the glutton seemed to have a special preference for this roast pig. The saliva flowed wildly between his mouths and teeth flowed down the teeth. Suddenly, with a roar, the glutton jumped out of the teenager's shoulder, turned into a dark shadow, and rushed to the flames. Unexpectedly, the gray shadow flashed, and the "squeak" sounded of anger, and the little gray came out of the air, blocking the roast pig.

With a low roar, he fell to the ground and showed his real body. He saw four sharp claws, and his body looked at least four times bigger than that of the wild boar. The strangest thing was that his neck was extremely long. He rose up and almost doubled his body.

Xiaohui is simply pitifully small compared with it, but somehow, Taoism seems to be a little afraid of Xiaohui and dare not be careless, but he is reluctant to give up the delicious food in front of him. At the moment, he roars in a low voice, and his expression gradually becomes ferocious.

Gui Li looked at the two strange beasts who were angry and confronted for roasting the pig, and suddenly said, "This wild boar hasn't been roasted yet, and the taste is not hot enough. Why are you fighting?"

He said this inexplicably, and even the teenager couldn't help looking at him more, but the two opposing foreign beasts reacted. The four eyes stared at Xiaohui, and Xiaohui opened with three eyes round, and the two strange beasts stared at one with seven eyes bigger than the other. After a moment, Xiaohui "squeak The sound, revealing his teeth, then ran back a few steps, sat next to the ghost, staring straight at the roast pig.

The four eyes of the glout swayed with the action of Xiaohui. When Xiaohui sat down, the beast shouted "roar, roar" twice, and unexpectedly slowly walked to the other end of the flame. The hind legs were put away, the front legs swung gently, and even lay down in front of the flame, but the saliva It flowed out, and it looked terrible, but it was still a little funny.

The teenager looked at the glour and slowly came over. He didn't care about the dirty on the ground. He sat down beside the glour. Looking at the ghost, he smiled and said, "Who is your excellency? I didn't expect that there was such a means to temporarily suppress the ferocity?"

Gui Li didn't look at him. He sat down, his eyes were light and returned to the flames. He said, "You and I met by chance in the deep mountains. Why do you need to know his name? It's just a roast pig, just a stomach."

The teenager looked at the ghost for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly, which shocked countless night birds in the distance.

"That's right, that's right." He hit his leg gently, with unexpected praise on his face, and said, "It's just a good one. Speaking of all sentient beings in the world, they are busy all day long. Isn't it just for the fruit? In this way, don't you say that the so-called "people" are just like me, and there is no difference?

Gui Li gently turned over the roast pig, and the taste of the sesame oil on the pork suddenly became thick, which made the glutton on the opposite side restless, but I don't know if it was to taste delicious or something. In addition to being fierce, this strange beast, which is also known for its greed, actually endure He gave him a fierce look.

The flame burned quietly and reflected on the ghost's face. He said slowly, "People are still different."

The teenager said, "What?"

Gui Li said, "Love and hatred, people have feelings."

The teenager laughed and said, "Don't you know that all the beasts also have feelings? If you kill this wild boar, you should know that the wild boar is painful and afraid. If I kill you, you are also like a pig. All sentient beings are equal. How can there be a difference between humans and beasts?

Gui Li raised his eyes, looked at the teenager, and said, "There is a difference."

The teenager's eyes were fierce and he said, "What's the difference?"

Gui Li said, "I have a great regret in my life. It is engraved in my heart day and night. Life is not as good as death, but I can't live without life. There are still expectations in life, and death is a timid person. How can a pig have such a hatred?

When the teenager was stunned, the sharp color in his eyes gradually faded, and then a strange look appeared on his face.

Note 1: Taoist: The Strange Gods and Demons. "The Alien Beast": There are evil beasts in the extreme south of China, with four eyes and black skin, long neck and four feet, fierce and extremely greedy. It's as fast as the wind, and it's a disaster.
