Silence all around, only the occasional crackling of branches could be heard from the fire. That strange young man and Ghost Li did not speak again, the fire expanded and contracted, burning between them.
The colour and lustre of the roasted pig gradually turned golden, in the midst of the rich aroma, at the same time a faint burnt smell emerged, the entire surface of the roasted pig was covered by a transparent layer of faint oil droplets, Ghost Li finally turned the roasted pig a few times, said, "It's done, all of you can eat!"
He had just finished speaking, Xiao Hui and the TaoTie pounced forward at the same time, Xiao Hui [Zi zi] called out, stretched out its hand and grabbed one of the hind legs of the roasted pig, the pig skin which was roasted hot did not seem to feel anything in its hand. Just that the TaoTie was even more powerful, it did not move its limbs or claws, directly opened its bloody mouth, disregarding the fact that the pork was still above the fire, directly stuck its head in and bit down.
The TaoTie's mouth, which was already huge, became even more frightening, such a huge roasted pig, was actually bitten by this strange beast, leaving only one hind leg which was held outside by Xiao Hui.
Xiao Hui was enraged, its monkey face revealed an angry expression, its hand grabbed the pig leg and refused to let go, at the same time jumping and shouting. The TaoTie evil beast did not care so much, its mouth full of sharp teeth bit down, immediately like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, it bit the delicious pork into two, Xiao Hui was caught off guard, for a moment it used too much strength and fell backwards, rolled twice on the ground, when it stood up, its hand was only holding onto a pig leg.
As for the majority of that delicious roasted pig, right now it was in the TaoTie's mouth, chewing loudly, the remaining pig bones were also directly crushed and swallowed into its stomach, like a tornado sweeping away the clouds, sweeping away an army of a thousand. Especially the four eyes on its face, squeezed to the sides of its face by the bulging big mouth, the four eyes were still shining brightly, obviously it was eating to its heart's content.
[Zi zi, zi zi …] Xiao Hui saw that half of its delicacy was snatched away by this ferocious beast, how could it not be angry but after calling out a few times, abruptly lowered its head and also started to chew, it ate extremely fast, in a short while, it had already finished half of the pig leg.
[Hou …] The TaoTie's deep roar sounded again, it slowly turned its head to look at Xiao Hui, such a huge roasted pig, in just a short while, it had already eaten it cleanly, swallowed it whole, not even the bones were left. And very obviously, the TaoTie was not satisfied, its four eyes were glowing, staring straight at the last piece of meat bone in Xiao Hui's hand.
Xiao Hui ferociously ate the last piece of meat, its three eyes widened at the same time, staring at the TaoTie. TaoTie's mouth was full of saliva, drooling with desire, step by step walked towards Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui fiercely waved his hand, the remaining bone in his hand was thrown far away in another direction, at the same time his face revealed a gloating expression. Unexpectedly TaoTie's figure flashed, like lightning, in a blink of an eye it soared up, caught up to the flying meat bone, bit it, made a turn in the air and flew back, landing beside that young man. Just that right now TaoTie also seemed to know that this was the last thing, did not swallow it in one mouthful, instead it looked like it cherished it very much, stuck out its tongue and kept on licking the meat bone.
Xiao Hui was startled by TaoTie's actions, after a while it turned to Ghost Li, suddenly waved its hands and feet, calling out. Ghost Li looked at it for a while, suddenly his expression changed, said, "You said it looks like Da Huang?"
Xiao Hui immediately nodded and then looked at TaoTie, the anger on its face gradually faded, replacing it was a kind of unfamiliar but warm expression. It watched TaoTie for a while and then carefully moved over, slowly stretched out its hand, looking like it wanted to touch TaoTie's hideous head. TaoTie's ferocious head turned, warily growled in a low voice, Xiao Hui immediately jumped back but then called out twice quietly, again approached TaoTie, and TaoTie's attention also seemed to temporarily leave the meat bone, on Xiao Hui.
After a while, Xiao Hui's hand again stretched over, TaoTie did not move but its four eyes were watching Xiao Hui's hand, while Ghost Li and that young man remained silent, especially that young man's eyes had a strange glint, quietly watching the interaction between these two strange beasts.
Xiao Hui's hand touched TaoTie's head, gently stroked it, TaoTie quietly growled twice but did not have any intention to object, its attention once again returned to that meat bone in front of it, Xiao Hui then slowly approached this strange beast, using its hand to gently stroke TaoTie's body, its monkey face revealed a happy expression.
Ghost Li slowly lowered his head, vaguely remembered many years ago at Big Bamboo Valley, Xiao Hui and Da Huang seemed to have become close like this. Time flowed like water, so Xiao Hui still remembered that time …
That young man suddenly broke the silence, said with a smile, "Didn't expect both of them to be so fated, isn't it?"
Ghost Li glanced at Xiao Hui and TaoTie, a trace of warmth in his eyes, said, "That's right."
The young man turned his head, added a small branch to the fire, and then became silent again, after a long time he suddenly laughed and said, "This TaoTie has followed me for who knows how many years, I always thought it was me who was taking care of it, didn't expect to discover today, that it is actually much happier than me." The smile on his face seemed to have an indistinct bitterness, said, "Other than eating and drinking to its heart's content, even if it is not of the same kind, there is still you, this monkey, who is willing to be its friend."
Ghost Li looked up at this young man, saw his desolate expression, as if there was an indescribable loneliness, indifferently said, "If you are lonely, just go find a friend."
That young man snorted, proudly said, "In this world, who is worthy to be my friend, and who dares to be my friend?"
Ghost Li frowned, this young man's tone was really exaggerated, he felt a little disgusted but the young man seemed to recall something, his face dimmed, quietly muttered to himself, "But, there is actually one person, I sincerely believe her …"
Ghost Li looked at him through the burning fire, indifferently said, "How?"
That young man's face suddenly turned cold, sneered and said, "Later on, I then discovered that she was lying to me, not only that, she also made me so miserable, almost consigned to eternal damnation!"
Ghost Li was silent, from that young man's expression, he unexpectedly recalled that buried deep in his heart ten years ago, that benevolent monk's face, seemed to appear before his eyes again …
He suddenly shook his head fiercely but exerted strength in his hand, the branch that was being added to the fire, made a slight hoarse sound, turned into powder, scattered all over the ground.
The young man glanced at his hand, suddenly said, "You also have such a sad past?"
Ghost Li's face was gloomy, did not speak, that young man looked at him, a glint in his eyes, suddenly said, "If you are going to die now, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Ghost Li was surprised, a wave of confusion in his heart, in that instant thousands of thoughts came flooding in, this question that he had never thought of, suddenly placed in front of him, deep enmity, great hatred, ten years of long-cherished wish, lingering white clothes, in this life of wind and rain, he had never thought that deep in his heart, what last wish did he have?
It should be to save BiYao, if he could save her, even if he died, he would be willing! This thought, in the countless nights of these ten years, he did not know how many times he had thought about it. Just that there was still that frosty face, in the end he could not give it up, in the secluded corner of his heart, gently drifting …
For a moment he was dazed, the night wind whistled, not knowing how much time had passed, when he woke up with a start, that young man had already disappeared, the TaoTie on the ground seemed to have just soared up into the sky, merging into one with the darkness of the night, its deep deep roars were heard from afar.
Xiao Hui scurried up his shoulder, called out twice, Ghost Li slowly looked up at the sky, suddenly quietly said, "Xiao Hui, I still have to see her one more time, right?"
Xiao Hui did not seem to understand and was too lazy to bother, its monkey head also looked up at the sky, seemed to be still searching for the TaoTie.
The embers of the gradually extinguished bonfire, gradually turned into a wisp of smoke, gently drifted away, Ghost Li and Xiao Hui stood quietly in this deep forest, for a long long time, in the night wind, only faint low sounds could be heard.
"... still have to see her one more time …"
This world catastrophe, with the passing of time, the situation became more tragic, the strange beasts had already killed their way into the Central Plains, the common people suffered heavy casualties, the Good Faction disciples who were sent out to investigate had mostly disappeared, a few of them with slightly higher skills came back, all of them were wounded and when they reported to the various Good Faction teachers, they spoke of the horrors of the strange beasts.
The people in the world were plunged into misery and suffering, the Good Faction were helpless, at this time the news of Qing Yun Sect, TianYin Temple, FenXiang Valley three big Good Faction sects meeting at Qing Yun Hill and inviting the world's Good Faction to join hands to deal with this calamity, immediately the world's cultivators started to gather at Qing Yun Hill. In just a few days, the vicinity of Qing Yun Hill had an unprecedented number of people, and most of them were Central Plains common people who had fled here, in their eyes, these immortal-like cultivators at Qing Yun Hill, were already their last hope.
Qing Yun Sect who was in charge of reception was extremely busy, more and more fellow cultivators and common people came to Qing Yun, very soon Qing Yun Sect TongTian Peak's guest rooms were not enough, they had to ask the other branches to also open their guest rooms. Fortunately Qing Yun Sect was after all a thousand years big sect, with deep roots and great assets, in the end they still accommodated. But the Small Bamboo Valley branch of the seven branches, because it had always been female disciples, and because ShuiYue Master's temperament was strange, it was not opened to the public, many of the young disciples who had admired it for a long time felt it was a pity.
But no matter what, although the calamity was before them but this was still an unprecedented Good Faction big gathering, Qing Yun Sect as the host, their reputation was even more than before, indistinctly the world already had the intention to follow Qing Yun Sect's lead, and Qing Yun Sect Head Reverend DaoXuan, right now even more firmly sat on the world's number one person position.
At night, Qing Yun Hill Range up and down the peaks were brightly lit, it was really a grand occasion that had not been seen for thousands of years, far below the mountain, following the mountain breeze, one could almost hear the people's loud chatter and laughter, the people who were afraid because of the calamity, under such circumstances, seemed to feel much more relaxed. After all, even if the sky collapsed, wasn't there still Qing Yun Hill above their heads?
And right now the quietest place on Qing Yun Hill, was probably Small Bamboo Valley. After Qing Yun Sect's kind explanation, all the sects strictly restricted their disciples, strictly prohibited them from going near Small Bamboo Valley, after all in the current situation, if there was still a farce of lecherous prodigal son, most likely no one would look good.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the other peaks, Small Bamboo Valley appeared much quieter, occasionally two or three beautiful Small Bamboo Valley female disciples would pass by, the mountain breeze blew gently, the tears bamboos all over the mountain swayed together, making rustling sounds.
This night the moonlight was clear and cold, shone on the Small Bamboo Valley mountain path, the bamboo shadows danced, the shadows wavering on the mountain steps. From afar, four or five Small Bamboo Valley female disciples walked over, the one in front was WenMin. These female disciples, including WenMin, all looked gloomy, their brows frowning, seemed to be troubled.
