Lying in the arms of the senior brother wantonly

The forest under the night is like a sleeping monster, and the white mist turns into a mysterious veil, hiding unknown dangers.

Ants with white light like a drop in the ocean, flickering on and off, and the cool night breeze rolled up the remains of leaves.

The flickering white light in the dark forest is just the light of the flying sword under Zhuang Su's feet illuminated by the moonlight.

The moonlight is round and round like a moon disk, suddenly close at hand, merging with the sky and the earth.

The night wind blew the blue silk by his ear, Shen Gu Nian raised up with the flying sword under Zhuang Su's feet, his eyes filled the huge full moon into his pupils.

The moon tonight is especially big, so big that it seems to be able to accommodate both of them.

Under this full moon, he and Zhuang Su looked as insignificant as sparrows.

"Wow, the moon is so big today." Zhuang Su came out of the cramped forest, the silver light of the moon dispelled the darkness, and also dispelled his nervousness and fear.

Shen Gunian felt that the moon was too big, so he asked, "Are all the moons at night in the world like this?"

Zhuang Su scratched his head: "I, I don't know, it seems to be the same as in Zongmen, right? The moon is a bit big tonight."

Shen Gunian frowned lightly, stopped talking, and signaled Zhuang Su to hurry back and hand in the task.

Although Wangyue City is a town where mortals live, there are also many monks. After all, apart from the monks who joined the sect and hang the title of disciple of the sect, there are also many casual cultivators and mortal cultivators.

The so-called mortal cultivation means that mortals have weak spiritual roots and practice some skills to defend themselves.

According to ordinary people, he just knows some martial arts.

Therefore, even when night falls, Moon City will not close its gates, but will only open the night barrier to prevent some monsters from breaking in and hurting people unintentionally.

From a distance, Zhuang Su and his two swords saw that the whole Moon City was brightly lit, the streets were decorated with lanterns and festoons, and every family gathered in their yards.

Shen Gunian looked at the bustling and bustling scenery under his feet, and seemed to have entered the New Year's Eve of the prosperous dynasty in a trance.

"Ah, I see." Zhuang Su's eyes lit up suddenly: "This is a festival in the mortal world, it seems, it seems to be called the Reunion Festival."

Shen Gunian showed it clearly, and asked: "Today is August [-]th?"

Zhuang Su nodded, put away his flying sword at the city gate, and walked into the city gate.

The street is brightly lit, with all kinds of lanterns hanging on both sides, the laughter of children, the lively conversation, and the cheers of guessing lantern riddles.

Liven up this peaceful world with liveliness.

"Senior brother Shen, we handed in the task, so come here to play too?" Zhuang Su looked eagerly at the busy street.

They came to Wangyue City at noon. Senior Brother Shen originally said that he would take him to play first before doing the task, but for some reason he changed his mind temporarily.

Now that the task is completed, can we go to play?

Shen Gunian withdrew his absent-minded gaze, looked into Zhuang Su's expectant eyes, and nodded: "Yes..."

Zhuang Su was so happy that she almost danced with her arms and legs, and hurriedly quickened her pace: "Let's go, Senior Brother Shen, let's hand in the task quickly."

That lively figure looked like a child.

Shen Gu Nian shook his head amusedly, but the original body seems to be about the same age as Zhuang Su, right?

Also only 16 years old.

The requester of the mission is an elderly old woman, surnamed Liu, who lives in a relatively remote corner of the eastern district of Wangyue City. The surrounding houses are relatively scattered and deserted.

When Shen Gunian and He Zhuangsu arrived, the old lady Liu was waiting for the two of them in the courtyard.

"You two elders, you are back." The old lady Liu walked over staggeringly, her face was covered with wrinkles and age spots, her rough hands had nowhere to rest, and she nervously opened the yard door.

"Grandma, we caught you the chicken you asked for." Zhuang Su raised the cage around his waist to show her, smiling very cutely.

Old lady Liu didn't seem to have recovered her senses, her eyes were flushed suddenly, and she was so excited that she knelt down to kowtow to the two of them.

Even Shen Gunian, who took it indifferently, was so stunned that he couldn't react. When he recovered, the old lady Liu had kowtowed a few times, and quickly helped her up: "Grandma, get up quickly, this can't help .”

Zhuang Su was also frightened by this scene, her eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, "Grandmother, what are you doing? Why do you want to kowtow to us?"

Granny Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, greeted the two of them to enter the house and serve rough tea, and then explained hastily and timidly.

It turned out that among mortals, some people were injured or got certain diseases, but it was easy for monks to heal them.

But they all need to pay a high price, but these prices are almost impossible for most mortals to pay.

The reason why the ten sects exist is to protect the lives of the people on one side, and on the other hand, they will set up teleportation stone tablets for help in the towns under their jurisdiction.

These requests for help only need to be written on the task card, and then the task card is placed on the stone tablet for help, and it will be sent to the poor family's task bar.

As long as there are monks who accept the task, they will be rewarded with points.

However, such a lowly wish like the old lady Liu has almost no points, and it can't even bring any experience to the monks. Therefore, there are almost no monks who will receive this kind of task.

Most importantly, even if the task is not completed, there will be no penalty.

Therefore, when Shen Gunian and Zhuang Su really caught the "jumping chicken" and sent the monster to her home, the old lady Liu thought she was dreaming.

"So that's how it is." Shen Gu Nian lowered his eyes, no matter in any era, it is simply a fantasy to be willing to help unconditionally for things that are not beneficial.

Zhuang Su listened, with sad eyes, clenched his fists and said seriously: "I see."

In the future, he can go down the mountain alone, and he must help those in need without any return.

Shen Gunian glanced at him, like Zhuang Su, well, there are definitely no more than five in the world of cultivating immortals.

"You need this jumping chicken, what is it for?" Shen Gunian asked Zhuang Su to put the cage on the ground.

Old lady Liu explained awkwardly.

Shen Gunian understood that Tiaotiaoji's fresh blood could heal broken bones, and the old lady Liu only asked for help for her grandson.

"But mother-in-law, you can't kill it by yourself, right?" Zhuang Su looked at the enlarged half-meter cage with worried eyes.

Tiaotiaoji glared at the two of them with provocative corn eyes.

Shen Gunian took out the dagger expressionlessly: "I'll..."

After completing the task, the task reward given by the old lady Liu was a low-grade spirit stone.

When Shen Gunian saw this bean-sized spirit stone, he knew that it was the only valuable thing that Old Lady Liu had saved in her life.

"Woo..." Zhuang Su's eyes were red, she sniffled and said with a sob: "She, she is so pitiful."

Shen Gunian clutched his forehead, okay, anyway, he didn't plan to take this spirit stone, and finally proposed that staying here for one night would be a reward for completing the task.

Old lady Liu wanted to kowtow again, but after being stopped by the two, she begged them to have a simple meal in the yard.

Shen Gunian noticed that Zhuang Su frequently stared at the moon in a daze, and rubbed his eyes from time to time to show sleepiness, so he said: "Since you are sleepy, why don't you go to sleep?"

Zhuang Su yawned, nodded, obediently entered the simple house, pulled out the headband that tied her hair, and lay down on the bed.

Shen Gunian looked up at the full moon, entered the house after a while, lay down on another broken wooden bed, and closed his eyes.

The night is deep and everything is still.

Moonlight spilled from the dilapidated window sill into the curtains on the bed.

Suddenly, Shen Gunian opened his eyes.

A black figure stood beside his bed, looking down at him.
