not a monster

Chapter 2 This cultivator is a shame
Under the locust tree in the mountain village, where the wind used to sit unreasonably, a crow and a pair of peasants squatted there.

In the eyes of the villagers passing by, it was the 'juvenile' sitting under the locust tree dumbfounded.

A person came out of the room, and the crow saw that it was the girl who beat them with the broom that day.

My cousin saw that Feng Wuli was sitting there and walked over: "Come in and sit, it's so cold outside."

The crow kept shaking his head, and felt that the boy would not make such a big movement, and the speed of shaking his head slowed down.

In the eyes of my cousin, Feng Wuli first shook his head in a hurry, then suddenly stopped, and then slowly shook his head in an old-fashioned manner.

In short, refused to enter the house to sit.

She sighed and went back to the house helplessly, when she suddenly heard Feng Wuli make a strange coughing sound behind her. She turned to look and found that her cousin had been looking at a pile of peanut shells on the ground.

"Do you want to eat peanuts?"

'Feng Wuli' nodded kindly with an old hatred on his face, and he wanted to tell him more, but he thought that his tricks could only deceive the eyes, but not the ears, and the sound that ordinary people heard was just a quack. , and shut up again.

"Speak whatever you want..." The cousin muttered softly, and went back to the house to get him peanuts.

……

Between the mountains and forests, everything boils.

Countless beasts and birds escaped into the mountains and forests in the early years. With the harsh living environment, wild animals are not as rampant in the deep mountains and old forests as they were in ancient times.

Less, does not mean no.

There was a long whistle from the forest, like a tiger and an eagle, but the whistling of the large carnivores was very shrill, and there was no top predator to frighten one's soul.

Outside the mountain forest, a mountaineer holding an old shotgun, wearing a straw hat and a scorpion heard the scream, and the cigarette butts in his mouth fell out. He stared at the white-capped deep mountains and old forests. His solitary figure was infinite. Zoom out.

"Eidi Nianglie, what the hell is this thing calling?"

Although the roars were far apart, he decided to take the gun and run away.

I was struggling to hit a bird with my old shotgun, and the roar of the beast just now was so frightening that it was a tiger.

And why is that thing called so badly?

There are so many strange rumors in the mountains. The old people in the village often say things that frighten melons and wazis.

slip away.

It wasn't just the old hunter who heard the neigh of the beast.

In a dry cold pool, two people were sitting opposite each other, and a chessboard was placed between them.

It should be said that there are two humanoid creatures, one male and one female.

The man looked in his thirties, dressed in the dark gray Confucian shirt of an ancient village master, wearing a hat, and a translucent drapery that covered the whole body hung down beside the hat. Eye-catching blue vertical pupils, like a smile but not a smile.

The woman has a beautiful appearance, dressed in the dress of many female students before liberation. This new school uniform at that time combined Western clothing and traditional Chinese style. The leather shoes tightly wrapped the lilac feet.

As far as the overall style is concerned, the pair of leather shoes and lace-trimmed socks may not match this dress, and the female student should have a pair of plain small cloth shoes.

It doesn't matter though.

People just need to dress nicely.

Simple and elegant, but fair skin is a little sick.

If in that era, the tops were often plain and quiet, the female students were extremely high-level, and they were very eye-catching in the school. Unfortunately, people like them lived for too long as if they lost the concept of time, and they always slowed down. In the impression of women, everyone wore this way last year. In fact, this 'last year' has passed almost a hundred years.

When it comes to the reaction, even the word "fashionable" will become very earthy.

Hearing the movement, the man stopped while holding the chess piece, looked up in that direction, frowned and said:

"If you continue to make trouble like this, it will affect the village. In the end, you will still have to attract people from the Taishi Bureau. Why don't you report it now and let someone help you catch that evil thing?"

The woman held the chess piece between her green and jade fingers, slapped it, and said, "It's not called the Taishi Bureau anymore."

"I know, it's called Qin Tianjian. I still go out occasionally, but I haven't changed my mind for a while."

"It's not called Qintianjian either. The Taishi Bureau was from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Qintianjian was the name of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Now the one who manages these matters is called Tonglian Communications Group Co., Ltd., you can call the company."

The man was a little melancholy, sighed and fell down, his voice was much more lonely.

"What year is tonight?"

"Twenty-five."

Afraid that he didn't understand, the woman explained again: "This is the new calendar. In the year of AD, it is probably the year of the new dynasty of Duke An Han. Using this as an anchor point, we can calculate 5000 years before and after."

The man's heart is filled with emotion, his memory is like a torrent, he has too many thoughts, and he knows it is too sudden.

"Across the universe, the sky is full of stars, and the stars and the moon shine at the beginning of the year. In the past, I thought they would always exist, but now..."

He raised his head and glanced: "There are no stars and no moons, where are we still."

"There have been several pottery factories nearby in the past few years, and the pollution is a bit heavy. If you want to see the stars, you can fly higher... If you can control the sky."

"Should I go out for a walk?"

"It's best to report first. If the company's communication base station detects that a big monster like you that has not been registered in the file suddenly appears, all departments in Lingnan will be busy in an hour. You can go to the north and get close to humans. Disperse your spirit in the town, let people know of your existence, and then wait in place for a while, someone should come to hand over to you, the current government power is the strongest in history, if there is chaos, the immortal will also be beheaded Get off your horse."

"I'm not a monster, I'm an elf," the man corrected.

"It's just an argument. When did you care so much about human names?" the woman wondered.

The man didn't say a word. Back then, when chasing Journey to the West was serialized, those monsters were described as ugly and bad, with green faces, fangs, and sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks. They lost their identity.

It was Wu Cheng'en's fault for smearing the image of their monsters. Later, the big monsters with heads and faces were reluctant to say that they were monsters.

Shameful.

"You haven't answered me yet, why don't you let Taishi... let the company send someone to help you catch that demon?"

"After all, it's the basket I poked out by myself, so I'm embarrassed to trouble others." She dodged her eyes.

"Don't bother others, just let it go like this?"

"It's too vigilant now. As soon as I get close to you, it runs away. It's not easy to catch, but it's growing very fast now. After a while, it will swell enough that it thinks it can eat me, and it will come back."

The man asked again: "I haven't asked yet, what is that thing?"

The woman focused on playing chess, and threw the dice in her hand. The dice rolled in a circle and the number displayed was four. She grinned and put the last small blue plane upside down on the tarmac.

"Ha! I won!" The two little braids fluttered.

"Finally let you win a game."

"There's no way, you can't play Gobang, you can only try flying chess."

The man laughed: "Humans are really interesting creatures, they are really different from other animals."

"Sometimes it's about the same."

The woman stood up, sensing that there was a very strong spirit approaching here.

So soon you feel that you can eat your own master?What monster is attached this time?It gave him so much courage.

The woman looked at the edge of the dry cold pond, where there was movement from the bushes, the man on the side frowned, and the green vertical pupils under the curtain stared at that direction.

A human boy pushed aside the grass and trees and walked out, covered with fallen leaves and snow and mud, with an evil smile on his face, looking at the two of them in front of him, his eyes curved into crescents and shooting white light, and the corners of his mouth cracked his ears with laughter.

It hurts to look at.

During the period of the Republic of China, the face of a student pretending to be a woman sank: "That's not a monster in the mountains, it's a person, this guy is attached to a person."

"What the hell is a demon?"

The woman was silent for a while, but answered his question.

"my shadow……"

Under the sun, she really had no shadow, and thought that this person was a practitioner who had practiced some kind of secret technique, but it turned out that it was the shadow that ran away by herself.

No wonder she didn't report to the Taishi Bureau for someone to assist her.

This cultivator is really a shame.
