Start from the old nine gates

Chapter 88 Wumeng Mountain 1
In the blink of an eye, it was already five days later.

"Master, let's rest here for the night."

Chen Yuan looked up, and the last rays of the setting sun were slowly fading away.

In front of you, there is a dense jungle. Under the gradually darkening sky, countless branches stretch out their teeth and claws, which makes people feel frightened.

Looking forward, high mountains, canyons, and mountain ranges are criss-crossed and continuous. Under the reflection of the low and dim yellow light of the mountains, they appear more mysterious and magnificent.

"Yunnan is here."

It took three days, the two traveled thousands of miles, and finally entered the border of Yunnan.

Looking in the direction Gong Ruomei said,
It was a flat place at the foot of the mountain, and there was a small village, not very big, only hundreds of households.

"it is good"

Glancing at Gong Ruomei, who looked a little tired, the journey has been busy these few days, and she didn't have a good rest, and indeed she should have a rest.

Then he walked towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

With the disappearance of the last ray of light, the sky lost its vigor and vitality, and became cold and silent, the water vapor permeating the air.

The breeze blew slightly, and a coolness soaked into the skin.

Soon the hazy mist rose, and spread quickly, covering everything around.

"Sure enough, the weather in Yunnan is really changeable."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, and turned into a protective cover to isolate the surrounding water vapor from the two of them.

After 10 minutes, I came to the village, which was dark and deserted. This was everyone's first impression.

"Master, this village is a bit weird."

"Ah."

Walking in the village, the sound of footsteps is very clear, and even the sound of breathing in the mouth can be heard.

Bright eyes scanned the surrounding room.

This incomparable silence is like being in a ghost.

If it wasn't for the dim and yellow candlelight shining through the window, and the slightly shaking figure, Chen Yuan would have been surprised that there was really no one here.

After walking for a while, I finally stopped in front of a house that was bigger than the surrounding area.

Boom, boom, boom, there was a knock on the door.

"It's that bastard who dares to come out at night."

After a few breaths, a suppressed and hasty voice came from the room, as if he was afraid of something.

With a bang, the wooden door was opened, revealing an old man with white hair and dimples on his face, came out cursing, and then saw Chen Yuan and Gong Ruomei.

As if his throat had been choked, he stopped suddenly, and looked at the two strangers in front of him.

"who are you?"

The old man asked with a look of vigilance. Judging by the way they were dressed and behaved, they usually came from other places.

"Old man, we are here from other places to find relatives."

Gong Ruomei took a step forward and explained, "Look, it's getting late now, we plan to spend the night here."

"Father, who is it?"

One was shirtless, with all his tendons exposed wantonly, and walked over with a machete in his hand.

When they all arrived at the door, the moment they saw Rong Ruomei, they couldn't move their eyes away.

Cold, noble, and with a sense of heroism, Ada, who has lived in the mountains for a long time, has seen such a woman there, and Ada fell into it just by looking at her.

"Guests coming from other places, hurry up and get out of the way to give way to the guests."

The old man patted Ada to wake him up.

"Oh, good, good, good, girl, please come in."

Looking at his son who seemed to be stupid for a moment, he couldn't help but help his forehead.

"This guest, please come in."

"Ah."

After the two walked in, the old man poked his head and looked outside. After confirming that there was nothing else, he breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door tightly.

But what the old man didn't realize was that the moment the door was closed.

Countless scarlet eyes suddenly opened, and the pale red light covered the boundless thick fog in an instant.

Cold, indifferent, without a trace of emotion.

colder than ever,

The thicker fog covered it up again.

inside the house,
introduced each other,
The old man who just opened the door is the village head of this village, and that Ada is his son.

"You guys are so brave, you dare to go out in the dark first."

"Oh, village chief, why are you afraid of the dark night?" Chen Yuan sat on the mat and asked with a hint of curiosity in his expression.

"You don't know."

Hearing Chen Yuan's inquiry, the village head explained with some emotion: "There has been a legend of a monster circulating near our Xiashan Mountain."

"That monster is only present in the boundless night. It has a huge body and countless bloody eyes. Anyone who has been watched will surely lose blood and dry up to death."

"Even if there are rumors, why should the village head be so panic-stricken? He looks at the whole village, afraid of making a big noise. Even the candlelight is extremely dim, afraid of monsters appearing."

Rong Ruomei, who was at the side, asked a little puzzled.

"Girl, don't you guys know this? It's indeed a legend, but that monster seems to have appeared again. Over the past few months, a dozen people in our village alone have been killed by that monster."

"You guys are lucky, you didn't run into that monster."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the old man said with some embarrassment: "Two guests, there is only one room in this room, I'm afraid I will wrong you."

"It's okay, village chief, we are already very grateful for the preparation of a room."

Hearing this, Gong Ruomei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a bit, and a rare faint red color appeared on her fair cheeks.

Ada on the side kept his eyes on Gong Ruomei, seeing the change in her face, as if she had been shot twice in the heart, her face was devastated.

The village head took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and walked back to his house slowly on crutches.

The two came to a room,
"Master, do you think that monster really exists?"

"Existence." Chen Yuan smiled faintly, remembering the look back when he entered, and said: "Existence is existence, it's just that what they described is a little different."

Coming to the bed, he picked up a quilt and spread it on the floor.

"Go to sleep."

Chen Yuan made a meditation posture, and slowly closed his eyes.

Gong Ruomei looked disappointed. Although she had guessed it long ago, she gave Chen Yuan a vicious look.

As time passed, the sky became darker and darker.

Chen Yuan who was meditating slowly opened his eyes, stood up, looked at Gong Ruomei who was sleeping soundly, and sighed softly, Chen Yuan would also be aware of the other party's affection.

But that is not necessarily love, power, strength, or the righteousness shown to save the common people, or the charm brought by the high spirit.

Even if it is really love, Chen Yuan will put eternal life first.
