Brother, why is he like this?

It was already dark, and the rain was getting worse, knocking on the eaves and roofs.The gloomy wind whimpered and blew through the treetops, the grass was luxuriant outside the house, and the fire inside the house was extinguished.

On such a miserable night, it is naturally very suitable for telling ghost stories.

Zong Lan is a master at telling ghost stories. His deliberately low voice is mixed with the sound of rain and is not clear, making the audience have to concentrate on listening.

"I also heard it from others. It is said that 19 years ago, at the beginning of the Great War between Righteousness and Demons, there was a pair of Taoists and a few fellow disciples who chased and killed a monster from the demon race. The monster fled into the Obscure Forest..."

Qing Yu thought indifferently: It seems to be true.

However, the young disciples liked it very much, and felt that the stories that happened in the real time and place background were also very real.

"...the female monk among the Taoist companions got separated from the others. She walked alone in the Obstacle Forest for seven days before seeing several fellow disciples, but she did not see her Taoist companion. The fellow disciples told her, On the first day she was separated, her Taoist companion died unfortunately!"

"Ah!" Xue Yi and Ning Shuang both exclaimed, their eyes revealing sadness.

"They thought that the soul of the senior brother might come back to find her, so they waited together in the Obstacle Forest until midnight. It was a rainy night like tonight, the rain was pouring down, the wind was blowing. Now, no one dares to speak..."

Just when a gust of wind blew, everyone felt a chill down their backs.The erratic light of the fire cast shadows on everyone's faces, and they didn't even look like familiar faces.

Xin Yan held her breath and leaned tightly on the senior brother beside her.

"Suddenly!" Zong Lan suddenly raised his voice.

Xinyan yelled "Ah", and buried her face in her brother's arm, and the others also looked shocked.

Zong Lan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and continued to lower her voice: "...the female monk's Taoist companion appeared covered in blood, grabbed her and ran away. The female monk was terrified and kept struggling. At this moment, she The Taoist told her that in fact, on the first day she left, everyone died, only he was still alive..."

"If it were you, who would you trust?"

For a while, no one spoke, only the sound of the rain and the sound of his own heartbeat like a drum.

So the little disciples who have not gone down the mountain to eliminate the ghosts were frightened by him.For example, Qing Yu and Shen Lingyuan have seen dozens if not hundreds of souls, so how could they be afraid of such childish ghost stories.

Qing Yu was about to call everyone to rest when Ye Tan raised his head and turned towards the door.

There was a noise in the heavy rain, as if something was wading through the water.The sound is getting closer...

A moment later, the door of the palace was pushed open with a "bang".At the right time, a bolt of lightning strikes, the light is bright, and the torrential rain hangs down like dense silver threads.

A figure stood in the shadow of the door, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Ah—" Xinyan and other young disciples screamed frantically.

Shen Lingyuan frowned slightly.

The lightning was fleeting, and the outside of the temple was once again plunged into darkness, with the shadowy figures still seeming to be there.The man took a step forward, stepped out of the darkness and stood in the firelight, only then did everyone see clearly that it was a man in black.This man came in the rain, but there was no moisture all over his body, obviously he was also a monk.

But with the eyes of Shen Lingyuan and Qing Yu, they couldn't see this person's cultivation.

The man scanned the hall with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It is inconvenient to travel on rainy nights, and I hope you can rest here."

Shen Lingyuan and Qing Yu looked at each other, and said: "You are welcome, you are welcome."

Zong Lan has already started to greet enthusiastically: "This fairy friend, come and sit here."

The screaming young disciples found out that it was not a bloody ghost, so they felt embarrassed and moved away from the fire in embarrassment.

The man glanced warily, then found a corner and sat against the wall without saying a word.

Zong Lan and the others looked at each other.

This person suddenly appeared in the rainy night, his identity is unknown, his cultivation level is unknown, and he is quite guarded against others, Shen Lingyuan dare not be completely at ease.He and Qing Yu arranged for the little disciples to find a place to rest, but he sat near the door with his sword in his arms, intending to keep watch at night.

The man looked up at him calmly for a moment, then closed his eyes.

The voices of people in the temple gradually became quieter, and finally became silent.It seems that everyone has fallen asleep in the silence, only the flames are dancing.

In the middle of the night, the rain weakened, the fire had gradually been extinguished, and the fine charcoal that had not been burned showed a dark red color in the grayish-white embers.There was a slight sound of cloth rubbing in the temple.Shen Lingyuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly. In the faint light, he saw that the weird stranger had got up and walked out without saying a word, as if he was in a hurry.

"Friend Xian, are you leaving now?"

The man seemed taken aback, and suddenly turned to Shen Lingyuan.

Shen Lingyuan smiled kindly.

The man nodded expressionlessly, walked out of the ruined temple, and gradually disappeared into the night.

Shen Lingyuan watched the man go away, then closed his eyes again.

"Brother."

A whisper came from beside him.Shen Lingyuan turned his head to look, and saw Ye Tan's back was straight, and he didn't know if he hadn't slept or was awakened by his own voice.

Ye Tan asked softly: "Is it dawn?"

Shen Lingyuan said: "Not yet, you can sleep a little longer."

Ye Tan was slightly stunned, and had the illusion that he was still in Songxue Residence.When he woke up, he asked his senior brother, "Is it dawn?" The senior brother said softly, "Not yet, you can sleep a little longer." Count your brother's breathing.

He shook his head and said, "I can't sleep. Brother, rest, let me watch the night instead."

Shen Lingyuan didn't move.After a while, he hesitated and said: "If one day I leave Jianzong..."

Afraid of waking up others, his voice was inaudible.

Ye Tan said lightly: "Of course I follow senior brother."

He answered it without any hesitation. Obviously, he had thought about this question countless times in his mind, and at this moment he blurted it out without thinking.

Shen Lingyuan was stunned for a moment.It is false to say that he is not moved, but this is not the result he wants.He said with difficulty: "If I leave, don't look for me."

Ye Tan pursed his lips, not saying yes or no.

Shen Lingyuan knew that although he didn't speak anymore, he must still insist on his own ideas in his heart.This child has been like this since he was a child. He never refuted what Shen Lingyuan said, and he obediently agreed, but he had already made his own decision in his heart.

Seemingly well-behaved, but in fact very stubborn.

Looking at the entire Lingxu Continent, there are no more than ten Nascent Soul Venerables.If you want to transform into a baby, you need talent, opportunity, and diligence. You may not be able to transform yourself into a baby. It's too early to say these things.

Gradually, birds chirped in the treetops, and the sky turned from dark to bright.The blue sky was as blue as washing, the rain and dew rolled on the grass blades, the grass blades were bent, and the gathered rain and dew crashed to the ground, throwing off thousands of golden lights.

Everyone laughed and got up to tidy up their appearances, and the strange guests from last night were discussed for a while and then forgotten.The world is so big for them, and there are always new things attracting their attention.

A group of 16 people continued to march towards Luzhou.

In order to avoid trouble, Shen Lingyuan tried his best to choose mountain paths, but he still had to pass through towns from time to time.The mortals in the bustling streets were amazed when they saw such a group of teenagers and girls in white clothes with swords in their hands.At this time, all the disciples of Jianzong held their heads high and held their chests high, showing the demeanor of an immortal.

Even Xinyan imitated Boss Bi Xiaochang and put on a face, walking past various stalls of clay figurines and pastry and snack shops without looking at him, showing no interest at all.

When they arrived in Tangzhou that day, there were still ten days before the opening of the secret realm.Tangzhou is a town next to Luzhou, only half a day away from Luzhou.Shen Lingyuan and Qing Yu discussed, instead of hurrying on their way, everyone stopped here to rest.

After Shen Lingyuan and Qing Yu arranged for everyone to stay in an inn, it was still early in the morning, so they announced that everyone was free to move around and set off for Luzhou early tomorrow morning.

There are limited rooms in the inn, so two people share one room.Shen Lingyuan is naturally in the same room as Ye Tan.

Xin Yan walked around the room excitedly, looking here and touching there.Suddenly hearing the yelling of people selling sugar fried Ma Yuan downstairs, his eyes lit up, and he shook Zong Lan's arm and said, "Senior brother, let's go shopping."

Zong Lan has completed the foundation building now, and it is the critical moment when Wu Dao hits the golden core. He is not interested in everything around him, crosses his knees and closes his eyes, saying: "I won't go."

Xin Yan pouted resentfully, and began to meditate and adjust his breath.

However, the more I meditate, the louder the cries downstairs seem to be, and my mind is full of "sugar fried hemp yuan", and I can't calm down at all.He suddenly opened his eyes, ran out and knocked on Shen Lingyuan's door: "Senior Brother Shen!"

The door opened with a "squeak", and Ye Tan appeared at the door with a cold face, asking, "What's the matter?"

"Uh..." Xin Yan's words were blocked in his mouth, and he said awkwardly: "It's all right." Then he turned and walked away dejectedly.

Inside the room, Shen Lingyuan, who was meditating, opened his eyes and asked, "Is it Xinyan? What's wrong with him?"

Ye Tan said: "It's nothing. I've already left."

Shen Lingyuan was at a loss, said "Yes", and continued to close his eyes and fall into samadhi.
