This was his hometown, the place where he spent the first few years of his life, just that time quietly passed, these eventually all became memories, leaving only this stretch of ruins, making one sigh.
But, what was the purpose of living?
Ghost Li observed everything around him and then slowly lifted his head, looked up at the night sky.
The curtain of night hung low, above the horizon, not knowing if there were really deities, demons and buddhas, who could hear the voices of the people?
The monkey Xiao Hui's mouth moved a few times, made a few sounds, turned over, rubbed its head on Ghost Li's thigh a few times and continued to snore.
Maybe, it dreamed of its favourite wild fruit?
Ghost Li looked away, looked at Xiao Hui, stretched out his hand, gently stroked its head, the fur on the monkey's head, soft to the touch, transmitted a trace of warmth.
A trace of a smile appeared on his lips, a gentle and pure smile, like that young man many years ago, in this once village, shouting and laughing loudly, running with all his might!
The night breeze rustled, there seemed to be someone whispering softly, the grass and trees moved with the wind, the wind carried the fragrance of grass.
He closed his eyes.
Such a quiet, tranquil night …
Suddenly, the monkey Xiao Hui's body quivered, its three eyes abruptly opened, its head also slightly left Ghost Li's thigh, slightly raised, as if listening to something. At the same time, Ghost Li's brows slightly frowned, the faint smile on his lips, quietly disappeared.
He quietly, opened his eyes again, reflected in his eyes, was this world again.
He stretched out his hand, gently patted Xiao Hui's head, Xiao Hui immediately calmed down, turned its head, its three eyes rolled around but it did not sleep, gently climbed up, used its hand to scratch its head and then with a slight push of its legs, jumped onto Ghost Li's shoulder, after which it kept looking around.
Ghost Li was still sitting in this secluded corner, in front of him, a broken wall happened to block his body, just that the cracks on the wall, allowed him to look out.
Such a desolate place, nobody would come in the day, could it be that in this dark and windy night, something unexpected would happen?
A strange aura, like appearing out of thin air, suddenly descended into this ruins, Ghost Li instinctively sensed something, his brows frowned even tighter.
The night breeze turned cold, like the legendary Yin wind from the Nine Netherworlds, bone-piercing cold, just that the cold was not on the skin, but an illusion of the cold entering the heart. In this strange and gloomy wind, a black figure descended from the sky, silently landing in the center of this Grasstemple Village ruins.
In the distance, through that gap, Ghost Li quietly watched that black figure but his heart was really shaken, this unknown person, the evil energy contained in his body was something he had never seen before in his life, even though they were separated by quite a distance but the moment the black figure landed, he could still feel the blood in his entire body churning slightly.
But, such a of highly skilled person, why would he come to this desolate and uninhabited Grasstemple Village ruins in the middle of the night?
Ghost Li could not figure it out, could only stare intently at that figure.
Very soon, he discovered something strange, he discovered that the reason why the figure was black, was not because he was dressed in black but his entire body, was surrounded by a layer of constantly churning strange black air, making one unable to see his real face.
Ghost Li was even more puzzled, carefully observed this person. But after this person landed, he did not move immediately, stood there strangely, not moving for a long time.
Just when Ghost Li was puzzled, that black figure suddenly moved and then slowly walked forward. Ghost Li frowned tightly, coldly watched that figure.
Looking at that black figure stepping on the grass, slowly walking past one after another ruins, Ghost Li's eyes stopped on him, also quietly moving.
This black figure did not seem to have any special purpose, looked like he was taking a stroll, Ghost Li grew up in Grasstemple Village and was extremely familiar with the village but he could not tell where exactly this person was heading to, only that this black figure seemed to be looking for something.
After a while, the black figure seemed to have discovered something and stopped in his tracks. Ghost Li was startled, quickly looked towards the direction where that person was facing, suddenly his heart tightened, the place where that person was facing, was that abandoned temple where not even a blade of grass grew.
That person was wrapped in black air, slowly walked towards the dilapidated temple but did not walk in, instead stood outside the temple. Ghost Li looked from the secluded corner behind him, saw that person assessing the temple from top to bottom, suddenly raised his hand, a sharp whistle was heard from his hand.
The next moment, one of the black air surrounding that person separated, indistinctly turned into a black sharp arrow in the air, responded and shot out, swiftly charged towards a broken pillar in the temple.
Ghost Li's hand involuntarily tightened, subconsciously clenched into a fist but he still endured, calmed his mind, quietly looked over.
This black Qi arrow seemed to be quite powerful. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, it collided with the broken stone pillar. With a muffled "boom", the originally broken stone pillar was immediately smashed into pieces. But what was even more strange was that at the same time when the stone pillar was smashed into pieces, four or five ghostly lights suddenly rose from the place where the stone pillar was originally standing. The Yin Qi was miserable, and surprisingly, it was actually a few ghosts.
For a moment, the Yin energy around the small temple surged, ghost cries resounded, Ghost Li who was lurking at the side immediately understood and then his face turned angry. The Grasstemple Village tragedy, implicated more than two hundred innocent lives, so many people died in vain, the depth of resentment, naturally it was not a small matter. Just that this place was after all under Qing Yun Sect's eyes, Qing Yun Sect had already sent people down the mountain to this place, cast spells to dispel the evil energy, let many of the spirits who were reluctant to leave return to reincarnation, it was considered as a compensation to Grasstemple Village.
Just that for some reason, until today, in this broken temple in Grasstemple Village, there were still so many spirits attached to it, no wonder this place had been abandoned for so many years, overgrown with weeds but not a single blade of grass grew near this temple.
Ghost Li was still thinking but the next moment, that strange black figure seemed to not care about these spirits that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, ordinary people would avoid them, on the contrary, he directly stretched out his hand and simply beckoned, these spirits seemed to know the danger, tried to escape but like an invisible force, they were all pulled to this mysterious figure, the next moment, in waves of despairing ghost cries, these spirits actually slowly merged into the black energy surrounding that person.
For some reason, this scene was seen by Ghost Li, his heart suddenly felt like it was on fire, the blood in his entire body seemed to be boiling. An inexplicable rage, instantly rushed up to his heart.
This was originally his hometown!
That Grasstemple Village, was originally his childhood playground!
The next moment, he had already dashed out.
That black figure immediately sensed the abnormality behind him, quickly turned around, when he saw the person and monkey before him, this mysterious figure, also seemed to be stunned.
Then, from that layer of rolling black energy, his strange laughter seemed to be heard. That voice was low and hoarse, completely inaudible.
Ghost Li coldly said, "Who are you, why did you come here, gathering spirits, this is a crime against Heaven and reason, are you not afraid of retribution!"
The black energy around that person surged, suddenly his entire body rolled, his entire body leapt up into the air.
Ghost Li was shocked, knew that although this person was strange but his skills were really not to be underestimated, quickly focused and prepared, unexpectedly that person was actually a feint, with a feint in the air, he turned and swept away.
Ghost Li coldly snorted, without any hesitation, also leapt into the air and chased closely. Looking at the direction of that person's escape, it seemed to be heading towards the southern wilderness of HeYang City not far away, Ghost Li pursued relentlessly, he wanted to see, who exactly was this strange person?
As for what was waiting for him, he had never thought about it.
But who would seriously think about it, and, even if you seriously thought about it, would it be of any use?
Maybe, this is like the future, no matter what, good or bad, in the end we have to face it!
