Exorcism

There are clouds and mist above the head, and occasionally the mountain wind blows, revealing a corner of the main hall on the top of the mountain. You need excellent eyesight and a certain amount of luck to see it clearly.

Shen Hao sighed, used his last strength to throw himself on the stone steps, wiped the sweat on his face, and asked, "How many more steps did you walk today?"

"Fifty-level one." Xiaoqiu was also sweating profusely. She put one foot up and one foot down, pressed her hands on the ground, and used all her strength to finally step onto one more stone step. Then she also sat down and grew In one breath, "It's too difficult. The higher you go, the greater the resistance."

It's been almost a month, and there are fewer and fewer children climbing together, and it's getting harder and harder to make progress.

"Are the Mengdu Cult kidding us? I heard that a Taoist priest without inner elixir will never be able to climb Laozu Peak."

"I don't think Meng Dujiao can joke." Xiao Qiu looked at the top of the mountain and recalled what he saw and heard on it.

Shen Hao stood up and made one last attempt, but it didn't work. He couldn't move up one level. "Brother Xiaoqiu, go down the mountain. You won't even be able to catch dinner later."

Below thirty or so stone steps, they met Fangfang and stupid Mu Feihuang. The latter collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. Fangfang leaned against the cliff, breathing heavily, her cheeks flushed, and she smiled when she saw Xiaoqiu coming down.

"Where's Erliang?" Xiaoqiu still used to call Shen Xiuwei by his nickname in private. Usually Erliang would be with Fangfang and Mu Feihuang, and he was one step ahead of Fangfang, but today he was nowhere to be seen. .

Fangfang was speechless for a moment. Mu Feihuang replied: "His brother called him down halfway. I don't know what happened."

The four of them went down the mountain, their backs and legs ached. It was no easier than going up the mountain, so few of them spoke. On the way, they met other teenagers from Yelin Town one after another. As soon as they saw Xiao Qiu and Shen Hao, they immediately stopped climbing and turned around to go down the mountain together.

After hundreds of stone steps, the teenagers returned to a mountainside platform where they usually rest, and unexpectedly heard the cheers of Erliang Shen Xiuwei.

The platform is seven or eight steps wide and more than twenty steps long. It is sunk several feet into the cliff and can barely block the wind and rain. Several teenagers are shouting happily around a bonfire.

"Grilled fish!" Xiaoqiu smelled it all at once. This was the familiar aroma of cooking food with his friends when they were grazing in Yelin Town.

As expected, Erliang Shen Xiuwei turned around and waved, "Come on, there's a big dinner today, and I'm going to be vegetarian every day. I'm going to be starved to death."

"Isn't there meat in the food?" Daliang Shen Xiuming corrected his younger brother, but the look on his face was also salivating. The food in Jinghu Village is bland, and there are only three or four pieces of meat in a large bowl of food. Although the two brothers are poor The children of the family, but Yelin Town is close to the river, so they eat a lot of fish and clams, so they are not used to the food here which has very little meat.

A dozen fish had been grilled. Erliang Shen Xiuwei was already impatient with waiting. He immediately grabbed one and tore off a large piece with his mouth. While chewing, he said: "Everyone is here, can I eat it? Really?" Luckily, I didn’t throw away the salt packet or anything.”

The teenagers swarmed up, the quick ones grabbed one, while the slow ones just scratched their heads and waited for the next batch.

It wasn't until she finished eating half of the grilled and tender fish that Xiaoqiu noticed that there were three teenagers sitting across from them. Before, they were just familiar faces, and they didn't even know their names. They seemed to have just arrived in the building not long ago.

"Where did you catch so many fish?" Shen Hao asked while eating.

Erliang Shen Xiuwei only ate the fish, holding the second one in his hand and staring at the third one being roasted on the fire. Daliang Shen Xiuming said: "There is a pond at the foot of the mountain, and there are many fish in it. They told me Yes, I asked Shang Erliang to catch him together.

Very relaxed. "

The teenagers of Yelin Town nodded their thanks to the three newcomers and continued to chew. They now needed meat far more than friendship.

Fangfang was holding a piece of grilled fish that Erliang Shen Xiuwei had given her. She had just eaten half of it and said, "You just came to the library five days ago, right? It seems you came together."

The three children don't look too old, one girl and two boys. They all have round faces and big round eyes, showing intelligence and cunning, but their postures are extremely upright, as if they are sitting in front of their elders.

"I have an impression of you." Xiaoqiu looked at a teenage boy opposite, "Your stick skills are very good. Meng Dujiao praised you yesterday morning and said that you are very organized.

The boy's eyes immediately turned into crescent moons with laughter, "I can't compare to you and Shen Hao. Everyone says you two are the strongest."

It's always a pleasure to be praised. Xiao Qiu also smiled, but Shen Hao accepted it calmly and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Pei Zihan, this is my cousin Pei Ziqi, and this is my cousin Pei Shurong. We are all from Furong Mountain in Xijie Kingdom. By the way, you can call my cousin Xiao Qingtao, this is her nickname. "

The girl named Xiao Qingtao looked more immature than the two boys, but she was the older sister. She smiled and nodded along with her two cousins.

Little Qingtao Pei Shurong finished eating her little fish, clapped her hands, and startled her new friends as soon as she spoke.

"Brother Xiaoqiu, everyone calls you that, right?"

An extremely ordinary question came out of this little girl's mouth, but it felt like she had a big piece of candy in her mouth, so sweet that it made her sick. After she finished speaking, she didn't immediately jump into Xiaoqiu's arms and act like a baby, which made the teenagers feel... Accident.

Xiaoqiu's hair stood on end, and a mouthful of fish stuck in his throat. He coughed several times before swallowing it. He has never heard such a soft and waxy voice in his whole life. The mother in his memory did not have such a voice, and Fangfang did not. There is none in the entire Yelin Town.

"Only...they call it that." Xiaoqiu pointed at the surrounding teenagers from Yelin Town.

Xiao Qingtao protracted her voice, as if she was reciting an ancient poem with ups and downs, "Brother Xiao——Qiu." When she said the last word, she suddenly stopped, "I will call you that from now on."

Xiao Qiu felt waves of cold air radiating out from his pores. He really hoped that Xiao Qingtao wouldn't call him "Brother Xiao Qiu", at least not in such a voice, "Uh..."

Just as he was thinking of a reason to refuse, Xiao Qingtao asked curiously: "Brother Xiao Qiu, have you really been to Laozu Fengtai Courtyard twice?"

"I got into trouble and was taken there by others."

In the following time, Xiao Qingtao kept pestering Xiao Qiu, asking about every detail of the Ancestor Peak. The other teenagers were chuckling, and Xiao Qiu could only muddle through without saying a word, feeling like eating grilled fish. All the children were gone. When Shen Hao suggested going down the mountain and back to the library, he was really relieved.

But Xiao Qingtao was still not satisfied, and kept asking questions around Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu had to wink to her friends one by one for help, but no one was willing to help. They all thought the little girl's voice was ridiculous, and Xiao Qiu's embarrassment was also very interesting.

Xiaoqiu had no other choice but to cast a pleading look at Fangfang. Fangfang covered her mouth and smiled. After a while, she approached Xiaoqingtao and asked about the situation of Furong Mountain, successfully attracting her attention.

It was already dark when we returned to the library. Everyone had missed their meal. After eating the grilled fish, they no longer envied the simple meals in Jinghu Village. Only Erliang and Shen Xiuwei ran into the dining room and were disappointed after confirming that there was no food left. Go back to your room.

It was an extremely pleasant day. Although the fatigue of climbing the mountain has not been completely eliminated, Xiaoqiu still insisted on practicing bone-forcing boxing in the yard for a while. Erliang Shen Xiuwei had quit for several days, and Shen Hao was not as active as before. So Xiaoqiu was the only one left who was still boxing hard.

He returned to his room tiredly and was surprised to find that the other three were not asleep.

Shen Hao and Daliang Shen Xiuming moved back again. At this time, they were sitting on the kang with Erliang Shen Xiuwei, silently.

Xiaoqiu was stunned, thinking they were quarreling again, "You haven't gone to bed yet?"

Shen Hao said in an overly solemn tone: "Brother Xiaoqiu, there is something you need to know."

"Um."

"The Pei siblings from Furong Mountain are not ordinary people. We shouldn't make friends with them."

Shen Hao paused for a moment and wanted to emphasize his tone, but was overtaken by Erliang Shen Xiuwei, "The Pei siblings are not monsters."

"Flying monster? Flying monster?"

"It's right and wrong." Shen Hao regained the right to speak, "It is said that there are three types of monsters in the world: the first is the beast monster, just like the snake monster we have seen, but it is bigger and more unique than ordinary beasts. ; The second type is half-demon, which is half human and half animal, and can only be found in the land of monsters in the extreme north; the last type is non-demon, which is not a demon. They have demon blood, but they are born with The human form is almost the same as ours. The Pei family in Furongshan is a very famous non-demon family, so no one is close to them. I heard Xin Youtao say it when I passed by the study just now. Although this kid is timid, he knows a lot. "

Erliang Shen Xiuwei interrupted again, "Do you still remember what Meng Dujiao said? 'There are some demons that are very hidden, no different from you and me.' Aren't they talking about non-demon?"

Yelin Town is a peaceful border town. Xiaoqiu has heard the legends of monsters, but wwanh.c knows nothing about classification. The books in the library rarely talk about these things. "Monsters who are not monsters." He said Repeat, "What is this? If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not."

"No." Daliang Shen Xiuming said angrily, "No matter what kind of monster it is, no matter how human it looks, Pangshan should not recruit it."

"But they look..." Xiaoqiu still found it hard to believe that the Pei siblings had demon blood. They looked timid and enthusiastic, like three pampered children from a rich family. How could they have any demonic qualities?

"Brother Xiaoqiu, don't be stupid just because someone calls her sweet. Her voice makes my skin crawl all over. It's obviously a sign of a demon." Erliang Shen Xiuwei advised.

"I'm not stupid." Yelin Town disappeared because of the demon species, and the bald man died at the mouth of the snake demon. Xiaoqiu has no good impression of demons, "Just don't deal with them in the future."

Thinking of Xiao Qingtao's long-drawn-out "Brother Xiaoqiu", Xiaoqiu was even more grateful that she no longer had to be friends with the Pei siblings.

Daliang Shen Xiu Ming was regretting going fishing with three non-monsters, and the fear on his face could not be concealed even by the darkness of the night. Xiao Qiu comforted him and said, "There is no need to be afraid. Since Pangshan has accepted them as his disciples, there is no danger." "

"Don't forget to tell Fangfang." Shen Hao reminded, "She had a great time chatting with the little witch, don't be fooled."

As a result, Fangfang had other ideas.

When Xiaoqiu found the opportunity to tell her about Feiyao the next day, Fangfang was not surprised at all, "I already know that they are good people. Xiao Qingtao moved into my house last night, and we are friends."
