The weather in October is really fickle.

It was still a sunny day at noon, but when it was approaching dusk, the sky suddenly became dark, and after a while, it began to rain.

At first the rain was not heavy, just light rain, Yuxiu put on a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, and took the radishes that were drying in the open space in front of the firewood house into the house.

As soon as he entered the house with the last bunch of radishes on his front feet, he heard the rain suddenly intensified on his back feet.

The rain curtain blocked the last light of the sky, and it was only [-]:[-], and the room was already too dark to see the ground under our feet.

Yuxiu groped in the dark to put the radish on the table, then groped to the wooden cabinet, opened the top drawer, and took out a candle.

Soon, the dim yellow candlelight filled the small room.

This was originally an empty room next to the firewood house, it was used as a warehouse by their master and apprentice before, later Yuxiu moved out all the unnecessary things, cleaned the house from inside to outside, and it took a lot of effort With a lot of strength, I moved in all the wooden cabinets, tables and chairs that will be used.

Since then, Yuxiu has been living in this room.

It's a pity that his bed was too big and heavy, and he couldn't move it after several attempts. In desperation, he had to make a bed in the corner of the room.

The left side of his house is the firewood room, the right side is the dining room, and the opposite side is the kitchen room. The four rooms just form a small courtyard.

This small courtyard has been Yuxiu's main area of ​​activity for the past two years.

It's not that he likes living here, but it's close to the center of Qinghuai Temple, and behind the largest Buddhist hall of Qinghuai Temple, it should be a relatively safe place.

Yuxiu took down the rain-stained bamboo hat and coir raincoat, shook the rainwater by the door, and hung it on the wall. He glanced at the opposite stove that was blurred by the rain curtain, and couldn't help sighing.

He no longer remembered how many rains this was since the beginning of autumn.

Anyway, in his memory, the weather has become more and more capricious, especially this year, not long ago, there were four or five days of hailstorms in a row, so that he had to hide in the house and stay at home, relying on the remaining A couple of roasted sweet potatoes to satisfy your hunger.

It feels like the rain won't stop for a while, and it seems that he won't be able to eat dinner again today.

But even if it wasn't raining, his dinner was nothing more than two small dishes fried in the kitchen, not even rice.

He was trapped in the temple for two full years, and the rice and noodles had already been eaten. If it wasn't for the self-sufficient living habit of cultivating land and growing vegetables, he might not be able to survive now.

Yuxiu closed the door, and put all the radishes on the table into bamboo baskets by candlelight.

He simply tidied up the house, then blew out the candles, walked to the corner bed in the dark and sat down.

He didn't dare to sleep soundly, didn't even take off his coat, just wrapped the quilt on the spot, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

I don't know how long it has been raining outside.

Yuxiu had many dreams intermittently.

He dreamed that two years ago he was still in Jiangfu at the foot of the mountain, sitting on the corridor outside the evil spirit's house, eating, resting, and chatting with the evil spirit. They took out all the magic tools and set up formations in the temple to hide their aura and prevent the monsters from outside from entering.

There are all kinds of things, piles of piles.

These things are still clear in the dream two years later.

When Yuxiu woke up, his eyes were empty, and he was dazed in the darkness for a long time before he realized what he was doing after a while.

At this time, he couldn't help recalling that the two senior brothers didn't stay in the temple for long, they had already planned to settle him down, and then secretly went down the mountain to find Huaishan.

They seemed to have guessed that this trip was going to be a bad one, and after leaving at night, they left a letter telling him not to run around at will. Without their protection, he would only become a meal for monsters all over the mountain.

If they and Huaishan survived this catastrophe safely, they would come back after the incident. If they died unfortunately, he could only spend the rest of the time alone in the temple.

In fact, the two senior brothers knew that this was quite cruel to Yuxiu, the food stock in the temple was limited, there were not many candles left, and the formation they set up did not know how long it would last.

If they didn't come back in time, maybe the fate waiting for Yuxiu would be to starve to death in the temple, or be eaten by a monster that broke in suddenly.

But they have no choice, they definitely can't take Yuxiu down the mountain and let Yuxiu go to meet the evil god.

At the end of the letter, the elder brother wrote a series of apologies.

There was nothing they could do.

It's a pity that two years have passed, and Huaishan and the two senior brothers have not heard from each other.

Even though Yuxiu was looking forward to it every day, he already had a vague answer in his heart - Huaishan and his two senior brothers were probably in danger.

And what about evil gods?

I don't know how the evil god...

Thinking of the evil god, Yuxiu suddenly felt as if his heart had been squeezed hard by a hand, the pain made him even tremble a little while breathing.

He wrapped the quilt tightly around his body, curled up slowly, and hugged his knees tightly, but doing so didn't make him feel any better.

The weather in October has cooled down, and with the recent rain, the ground is always wet. Even in the house, the moisture in the air is too much for him to suffocate.

The floor he laid was not thin, but it was always cool.

Before, he only felt that his body was cold, but now he was affected by the dream just now, and he seemed to be cold even in his heart.

He is cold.

His hands and feet were so cold that his body was shaking.

Although he couldn't see his appearance at this moment, he could guess that his face must be terrifyingly ugly.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was not until two or three o'clock in the morning that the rain gradually became lighter.

Yuxiu couldn't fall asleep, so he got up to get the bamboo hat and coir raincoat. He wanted to see if the vegetable field was damaged. If it was damaged by the heavy rain, he had to take remedial measures earlier.

Unexpectedly, just as he pushed open the door, he suddenly heard a strange noise from outside—as if someone accidentally kicked something.

Yuxiu was shocked, she hurriedly retreated to the room, and took advantage of the situation to gently close the door.

He put the bamboo hat on the ground, wrapped his coir raincoat and leaned against the wall, covering his mouth with his hands and trying not to make any noise.

But the roaring heartbeat seems to overflow down the throat.

someone is coming.

No, it shouldn't be a person... Besides him, how could there be other people here?

After he moved here, he placed many unused instruments on the ground outside, and the sound just now came from kicking those instruments.

That is to say-

He is not the only living creature in this courtyard.

The formation formed by the senior brother has failed so quickly?Obviously they said they could last for ten years, and he didn't find anything unusual during his inspections during the day.

While thinking this way, Yuxiu really heard a burst of deliberately light footsteps.

Originally, the sound was extremely soft, but it was still raining lightly outside, and the ground was covered with water, and it was inevitable that there would be movement when the feet stepped in the water.

Yuxiu held her breath, and heard the voice getting closer and closer, as if it was coming straight here.

Immediately, his scalp was about to explode, and he quickly touched the wooden stick that had been placed behind the door in advance, gripped the wooden stick with both hands, and slowly backed away facing the door.

There are not many decorations in this room, not even a place to hide.

He felt his back hit the table, so he stood still and stared in the direction of the door for a moment in the darkness.

then.

Just a click.

The door of the house that had been bolted was pushed open so easily? !

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuxiu rushed forward pre-emptively and swung Gao Yang's wooden stick with all her strength.

However, before his wooden stick fell, he was firmly grasped by one hand.

"Yuxiu?" A strange and old voice sounded, the next moment, a flash of fire flashed in the corner of my eye, and the lit fire pocket was handed to Yuxiu.

It was only then that Yuxiu could see clearly that standing in front of him was a monk who looked a little older, but this monk was very faceless, and was wearing brown robes that were quite different from theirs in Qinghuai Temple.

Seeing him stunned, the monk put down his stick and asked, "Are you Huaishan's little apprentice Yuxiu?"

Although monsters have the ability to deceive people, they are not strong enough to conjure a person he has never met out of thin air.

Yuxiu was stunned for a long time, but when he realized it, his whole face was instantly covered with surprise, he nodded quickly: "Yes."

The monk said: "Clean up, we will take you down the mountain tonight."

Just after finishing speaking, a few people came over quietly. They were all wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats. They couldn't see their figures and appearances clearly, but they could feel their haste from their behavior.

"Master Jinghui, have you found someone?" The leader said, "Then we have to leave quickly, the formation has been broken, and it is not suitable to stay here for long."

The monk hummed, then turned to Yuxiu and said, "Go and tidy up."

Although Yuxiu had lived here for two years, he had nothing to pack. Seeing the anxious looks of those people, he was even more ashamed to waste time, so he casually stuffed a few clothes into his bag and followed them away.

The road down the mountain is very long, and it has just rained, and the ground is muddy, which is very difficult to walk.

Jinghui led the way in the front, Yuxiu walked in the middle, and the rest followed behind him, probably because they were worried about attracting monsters, so no one spoke along the way, and they all focused on walking.

Yuxiu was full of doubts, and at this moment she could only hold back.

They didn't walk for long, Jinghui suddenly stopped in a relatively spacious place, he raised his hand to gesture to everyone, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid we will have to walk for more than two hours to reach Qinghuai City , everyone has been walking for a day, let's take a rest first, recharge our batteries, and we will set off again after dawn."

The others were already exhausted, and because Jinghui didn't speak, they kept holding on. At this moment, they all responded well to Jinghui's words.

Lighting a fire in the wild is easy to attract monsters. If they want to rest here, they can't even use a fire pocket, so they can only take out a few clothes in the dark to cushion them.

Yuxiu didn't bring many clothes in her luggage, so she couldn't bear the toss, so she simply found a slightly dry place under the tree.

Looking back, Jinghui was also sitting under a tree not far from him.

There is no starlight tonight, but the moonlight is brighter, as if a layer of silver veil has fallen, they are all shrouded in the veil, and each other's faces can't be seen clearly.

But Jinghui still noticed Yuxiu's eyes from time to time. He knew what Yuxiu wanted to ask, so he opened his mouth and said, "Your master left two years ago, but your two senior brothers were rescued by us, and only a few days ago After waking up from a coma, he is still recuperating in Mr. Li's mansion, but fortunately, he is fine."

Hearing this, Yuxiu froze all of a sudden: "You said my master..."

"Dead at the hands of the evil god."

Yuxiu was stunned, her mind went blank.

In any case, he never thought that Huaishan would die in the hands of the evil god one day. The key is why the evil god wanted to attack Huaishan?Isn't the evil god's target only the Jiang family?

During the two years he was trapped in the temple, what happened in Qinghuai City...

"Then..." Yuxiu opened her mouth, and it took her a long time to find her shivering voice, "Where's the evil god?"

Jinghui was silent for a while, as if she was sighing: "You will find out when you go down the mountain and have a look."

After all, Jinghui didn't seem to want to bring up this heavy topic again, he told Yuxiu to sleep for a while, then turned his head to the other side.

But when Yuxiu found out about this, how could she be able to sleep?

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the woods in front of him, his heart could not be calm all the time - because of Huai Shan's death, but also because of the change of the evil god.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was too simple and naive in the past, thinking that the calm on the surface of Jiangfu could be maintained forever, but he didn't realize that there was already a dark tide under the calm.

only……

It's just that the change was so huge that he was caught off guard.

It's as if he just blinked and the world has turned upside down, and everything around him has changed.

Yuxiu sat stiffly for a long time, until Jinghui turned her head back again, Jinghui hesitated, and then said: "If you want to know more, come with me."

"Ah?" Yuxiu glanced at the others, saw that Jinghui had already got up, so she could only get up, and asked in a low voice, "Master Jinghui, where are we going?"

Jinghui didn't look back, and walked straight behind the tree.

Yuxiu hurriedly followed.

He thought that Jinghui would stop after walking a few steps, but Jinghui didn't intend to stop at all, she just went deep into the woods.

"Master Jinghui?" Yuxiu stopped, and subconsciously amplified her voice, "Just talk here, otherwise they will not find us if we go far away."

In the end, Jinghui didn't even answer his words, she turned her head back in a somewhat distorted posture, and murmured: "Come over here, and I'll tell you."

Now, Yuxiu clearly saw that Jinghui's eyes were shining green in the night, staring at him greedily and directly.

"..." Yuxiu gasped, turned around and ran back, shouting at the top of her voice, "Master Jinghui!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden rustling sound behind him.

The monster chased after him extremely fast.

Yuxiu was really in pain...

How did he know that he was so unlucky that he bumped into a monster the moment he stepped out of the temple, and was even taken away from Jinghui by the monster blatantly.

He didn't dare to look back, and shouted while running wildly, for fear that he would be caught by the monster if he lagged behind.

But Jinghui and the others seemed to be unable to hear his shout, and there was no response.

What was even more frightening was that he had only walked a few steps when he came, but that section of the road was suddenly stretched infinitely, and the trees shrouded in the moonlight were so densely packed that he couldn't tell the direction.

The rustling sound behind him was getting closer.

Just when Yuxiu thought she was about to be overtaken by monsters, the woods in front of her were covered by a piece of blackness that could not penetrate a bit of light.

It was a black mist with claws and claws, tumbling and surging crazily, as if it had life force.

Yuxiu was caught off guard and plunged into the black mist.

The black mist instantly engulfed him.

Yuxiu doesn't know when she fell asleep, nor how long she fell asleep.

He had a long dream.

He dreamed that he returned to Jiangfu again, and lived in the same courtyard with the evil god again.

The evil god in his dream was still so good-tempered, let him toss around in the courtyard, and was still lazy, didn't like to walk around, and sat in a daze beside the vase in the corridor when he had nothing to do.

The only difference was that the evil god in the dream didn't wear that white mask, which was strange to say, Yuxiu knew that the evil god had fair skin and handsome facial features, but she couldn't see the evil god's appearance clearly.

As long as he opened his round eyes and looked carefully, the face of the evil god would immediately turn into a ball of holy light, which made him have to look away.

After so many times, he gave up unwillingly.

Forget it, anyway, I didn't know what the evil god looked like before, so long as the nose and eyes are the facial features of a normal person, otherwise one day the evil god will take off the mask on a whim, and it will really scare him.

Unexpectedly, the evil god sensed his resentment, took the initiative to bring his face closer, and asked him if he saw clearly.

Yuxiu's eyes were sore and swollen by the holy light, she simply closed her eyes and yelled that she didn't want to watch it.

The evil god chuckled twice, lowered his head to hold Yuxiu's lips, and vaguely said that he should not watch it if he didn't want to, feeling is the most important thing.

Yuxiu didn't refuse, but she was still wondering what to feel?

Immediately after...

He felt weird...

Something was coming in and out, the eyes were sore and swollen a second ago, and now it was the turn of some indescribable place to be sore and swollen.

Yuxiu's dream was pierced by this strange feeling, he slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was an unfamiliar face, but this face was extremely beautiful, the features were clear and tough, his thin lips were tightly pressed, The smooth jaw line looks familiar.

As for how familiar——

Yuxiu had just collected some thoughts, but the next moment she was smashed to pieces.

I just had a vague feeling in the dream, but now that I wake up, this feeling is instantly magnified and becomes extremely clear...

Yes, that's the feeling of soreness and swelling.

When Yuxiu realized what he was doing with the strange man above him, his brain went blank again for a long time, and he even thought that he had timetraveled for the second time.

The strange man didn't stop, his curly long black hair fell down on Yuxiu's chest.

This man's skin is extremely fair, in stark contrast to his black hair, his eyes are fixed on Yuxiu's face without blinking, his face is expressionless, but his eyes are full of moisture.

After a while, Yu Xiucai pulled his thoughts back with difficulty, and he said in a daze, "Jiang Enlin?"

"Yeah." Jiang Enlin kissed his lips, "It's me."

"..."

Yuxiu's feet were faster than her brain, and she lost control of one of them, kicking this evil spirit out of bed.
