Nanlin Bamboo Demon

Juechen lowered his head and picked up the body that had floated down from nowhere, and turned him around so that he was facing up.

Gu Nianran took a close look at it with a lantern. The person lying down was dressed in black with sea wave patterns embroidered on it.

"Official clothes?" Wei Fu said while looking at the other two people.

"Could it be that this is an official sent by the imperial court to the stubborn city?" Wei Fu asked further.

Gu Nianran squatted beside the deceased, opened his eyes to look, and touched his arm, "I've been dead for almost a day..." After finishing speaking, Gu Nianran checked other places of the deceased and found that There were no wounds, no signs of poisoning, and no signs of suffocation. He turned his head to look at Wei Lin wonderingly: "Could this be... again?"

He stood up slowly, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked Wei Lin, "Young Master Wei, I forgot to ask, did you come here because you knew something was going to happen in the city from the beginning? And... You want me to go on the road with you... what are we going to do? And... I've been meaning to ask, what are you..."

Wei Fu: ...I thought to myself, this Mr. Nianran is really big-hearted, he dared to agree to Mr. without knowing what to do, should he be called stupid or... simple?

Looking at Gu Nianran, he felt that he was curious about too many things, so he was embarrassed to continue asking, so he took his words and said directly: "We are members of the Wei family who are in charge of the order of the three worlds of humans, demons and immortals. I am the eldest son of the clan. Well, Wei Fu is my father's adopted son, that is, my younger brother. I also have a younger sister named Wei Mu. If you have a chance, you will meet her in the future. Wei Fu is the youngest of us. As for why I came to The reason why I decided to come here is because I felt the demonic aura here when I was wielding a sword, and this is our first stop."

Gu Nianran opened his mouth to ask something, but Wei Lin stopped the conversation and continued, "I can tell who is a monster, and I can also sense monster aura, so I knew from the beginning that you are not human." Gu Nianran, who came back slowly, smiled, "I said Mr. Nianran, I asked you if you were Uncle Gu Bo's child, didn't you realize that I had discovered your identity? You are not surprised that we will resist you." Jian, we will fight the snake demon, aren't you surprised at the strange things your brother said to us at the inn at the beginning?"

After listening to a series of questions, Mr. Gu Nianran began to enter a slow memory and thinking mode.It’s not that Gu Nianran’s reaction is slow, it’s just that he has been alone in this forest for so many years, no one talks to him, and the only ones who can “talk” to him are the surrounding bamboos and the occasional birds flying past the eaves .He really doesn't know the status of the Wei family like other monsters in the demon world, and he is not curious about Wei Lin's status. Come out and transform into a demon in human form.

As for the day when Wei Lin asked him if he was Gu Bo's child, he was actually a little confused for a moment.But after thinking about it, he thought that the rumor that he was a "scourge" might have spread too far, so everyone knew that Gu Bo had a son named Gu Nianran who killed his own mother, so he asked Wei Lin about it. That sentence was taken as a matter of course, without even thinking about it, he had already seen that he was a demon.Mr. Gu Nianran, who lived in Nanlin for a long time, thought that the Great Thousand World was just that big, and thought that Wei Lin might be a "neighbor" who lived not too far away, so it was natural for his father to know his own father, but he Didn't know that his father was the God of the Earth back then, it's not his fault, no one told him...

As for Yujian, he regards Wei Linweifu as an ordinary cultivator... so he doesn't find it strange... It seems that he really thinks the art of Yujian is too simple. .....

Wei Lin stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Gu Nianran who was engrossed in thinking, "Are you confused?"

"No...I...then you...then where are we going in the future?" Gu Nianran wanted to try to explain that it wasn't because he was weak that he didn't notice those problems, but he felt that It would be superfluous to explain, so I simply asked him this question that he was very curious about.

Wei Lin suppressed a playful smile, and said seriously, "Since ancient times, there have been tree gods connecting the earth and the heavens and the earth. They are the guardians of the families that maintain the peace of the three worlds, and they are also the guardians of the earth. Most of the fairy worlds that are based on the two worlds of humans and monsters At that time, it was through the god of the earth to understand the situation in the world. Since your father left, the new god of the earth 'Tingyuan' has just taken office. There have been frequent changes in recent days, but his cultivation is far inferior to your father, so I couldn’t perceive what went wrong. My father and the elders were worried that there might be a catastrophe coming, so they sent me down the mountain to investigate.”

"My father?....'Earth God'?"

"You don't know, Mr. Nianran! Your father was so heroic back then. I admire him so much. The fierce battle a hundred years ago devastated the lives of the Three Realms. Thanks to your father and mother, everything slowly recovered. Back to the right track, back to everything full of vitality!" Wei Fu said suddenly with staring eyes.

"Yes...is it..." Gu Nianran lowered his head sadly, and said in a low voice, "I don't know about these..." After speaking, he quickly raised his head and looked at the Wei Fu, "Tell me more in the future! About them..."

Wei Fu glanced at Wei Lin's unfriendly eyes, smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah...well...haha...haha...but the young master is better than me Know more about your parents, especially about your parents, haha... right, my lord!"

"Um......"

Wei Fu looked at Wei Lin who looked normal and thought, what time is it, Mr. Nianran is so sad, this person still wants to fight for favor?

"Wang Wang!"

When Hui Ao called out, the three realized that they almost forgot about this person whose cause of death was unknown.But Hui Ao's cry was not to tell them to take the corpse seriously, but that there were people in the forest!

The people in the woods who were startled by Hui Ao's cry suddenly started to run around, the movement was too loud, Wei Lin easily caught their tracks, and quickly chased them, thinking about how he came into this woods and walked to Right in the middle of the woods!Is it about the corpse?

Soon Wei Lin could see clearly that the dodging one jumping up and down was not a human being, but a squirrel demon!

As expected, the little squirrel was caught by Wei Lin, and Wei Lin slipped back with the clothes behind his neck.

"Child?" Wei Fu asked in surprise, looking at a childish-looking boy with a reluctant face and a hint of embarrassment in Wei Lin's hand.

Nianran next to him also stepped forward to take a look, it doesn't matter, "Xiaoyi?"

I just heard the little boy muttering unhappily, "Second Brother..."

Wei Lin, "..." No wonder he was able to find his way in the woods!

Wei Fu: Pfft, young master caught the wrong person this time.

"He is..." Wei Lin immediately let go of his claws as if he had touched a fire.

Gu Yiqiu, who was "untied", ran to Gu Nianran's side in comfort, hugged Nianran with both hands, and said coquettishly, "Second brother, who are they?"

Gu Nianran touched Gu Yi's head with the hand that was not holding the lantern, and said softly, "They are my friends, this is Wei Lin, this is Wei Fu, this is this elder brother, then I just found out that your puppy is called Hui Ao, and this beautiful horse is called Juechen." After introducing him in a hurry, he smiled and said to the four stunned creatures, "This is my younger brother, Gu Yi, is it? I rescued him in the woods when I was a child, and he was accepted as the third child in our family."

After speaking, she patted Gu Yi's hand, signaling him to let go.

Gu Yi reluctantly let go.

"Why do you say you saw your brother sneaking around? What if you really treat you like a monster by accident?" Wei Fu crossed his arms and asked, looking down at Gu Yi, who was a head shorter than him.

"Hmph!" Gu Yibie didn't look at him at first.

"You have a temper! Kid!" After finishing speaking, Wei Fu stretched out his hands and rubbed Gu Yi's head indiscriminately.

Gu Yi slapped his hand open angrily.

"Yo, some strength!"

"Xiao Yi also left not long after his brother left"...Gu Nianran walked to Wei Lin's side and said to Gu Yi as he looked at Wei Fu who was fighting. "At that time, he said that he was going to learn his own skills before coming back, and that he didn't want to hear anyone say that I was..." Gu Nianran didn't continue, and smiled slightly, "I've been there for so many years, I almost didn't recognize it just now. Let him out...he really grew up...back then, he was just such a small child," Gu Nianran put his hand on his knee and compared it.

"It's so high in the blink of an eye..."

Hearing that Gu Nianran took the initiative to come over and talk to him about himself, Wei Lin felt a trace of indescribable satisfaction, indescribable joy, and indescribable desire to show off.

"Xiao Yi, why did you sneak a peek in the woods just now?" Wei Lin seemed to want to use this title to place himself in the same area as Gu Nianran, as if deliberately emphasizing that he knew Gu Nianran very well. !

Hearing this call, Wei Fu's hair stood on end more than one meter high. Looking at Wei Lin's deliberate smile, he felt secretly happy that he was not Gu Yi.

The reaction was the same as his, no, it should be said that Gu Yi himself reacted more strongly than him, he almost vomited when he heard the call, "Did you call Xiao Yi? Only my brother can call Xiao Yi! You can't!"

"Xiao Yi, you can't talk like that. I have been weak for the past few days. Thanks to Mr. Wei Lin's care, I was able to recover."

Wei Fu: Isn't it me who guards your bed every day? !What is the law of heaven!

Gu Yi heard it, "Are you injured? Why are you weak? Don't you have this to defend yourself?" Gu Yi grabbed Gu Nianran's hand wearing the "Eternal Life Knot" and asked, "Second brother, are you... ...."

Needless to say, everyone knew what he was going to ask next, and seeing that Gu Nianran didn't intend to explain, Gu Yi shut his mouth clearly and didn't ask any more.Let go of Gu Nianran's hand, staring at the "Eternal Life Knot" and muttering, "At that time, you were only young and didn't have much spiritual power, but you wanted to use it to cure me who was dying... .I survived...but you only have half your life left, you lay down for more than half a month before recovering...now you..."

Gu Yi's voice started to choke, and he raised his head to look at Gu Nianran, "Second brother, don't save people so desperately in the future, how much strength, how much time, how many lives do you have to withstand this torment, Although it has cured others, it has been killing your life!" After speaking, he began to vent in tears, "For so many years, I... I have been seeking teachers everywhere... I want to learn a good kung fu Okay... so I can come back to protect you... But, I haven't found a good master... I changed one after another... Didn't I just plan to find a new one... but I heard Something happened in the stubborn city. I...I'm worried about you...I'm afraid you will be affected too...I'll be back right away...I've been thinking on the way, if you What should I do if something really happened, then I will regret it after leaving you for so many years!"

For so many years...I haven't found a good master...this child...is also an inch.A trace of sympathy rose in Wei Fu's heart.

Gu Nianran gently patted Gu Yi who was wiping away tears, "Okay, okay, am I okay? It seems that you haven't had an easy time outside all these years, are you tired?"

"No... I'm not tired!" Gu Yi smiled through his tears, showing his "strong" face to his second brother that he was not tired, and suddenly remembered something, eh?His eyes seemed to catch something just now.

Gu Yi subconsciously looked around, and saw the lying corpse on the ground, this person looks familiar!

He walked forward slowly, stood directly above that person, and looked at him left and right, "I just saw this person yesterday! What's the situation? Why did he die here?" Gu Yi turned his head and looked at Gu Nianran suspiciously. asked.

"He didn't die here, he floated along the creek." Gu Nianran replied.

"Have you met him? Where did you meet him? Are you sure it's the man you met?" Wei Lin asked.

Gu Yi didn't want to answer Wei Lin's question as Wei Lin wished, but seeing his second brother also looked expectant, "Ahem, yesterday, when I went to the outskirts of the city, there was still a long distance from the city gate. place, I heard a large group of people driving behind me on horseback. So I stood aside and waited for them to pass. He was the first person to come over, and I will not forget it! He was wearing an official uniform At first glance, it looks like the clothes of a senior official, and I will never forget it once I saw it. And the group of people was in a hurry, only he was wearing an official uniform, and the others were all wearing coarse linen clothes. They don't look like ordinary people either, they must all be martial arts masters." Gu Yi said confidently with his chin in his hand.

"Oh? Why do you know that?" Wei Lin asked desperately again, "Because each of them has a sword, and their expressions look as cold as killers, and it's impossible for such a high-ranking official to be surrounded by martial arts masters!"

"Oh...that's it, Xiao Yi is really smart and witty." Wei Lin teased again, and laughed together with Wei Fu.

Gu Yi: ...

Gu Yi, who didn't want to talk to them anymore, turned around and looked at the man on the ground again, "How did he die?"

"He was not poisoned to death, there were no wounds, no strangulation marks, and no signs of suffocation. I don't know..."

"I know! His soul must have been eaten!" Before Gu Nianran finished speaking, Gu Yi punched out this sentence as if he had discovered some big secret.

"Eat...soul?" Gu Nianran asked.At this moment, Wei Fu and Wei Lin also stopped their troublesome laughs, and became quiet as if they had heard something novel, curiously wanting to hear how the young man would explain it.

"One of my masters told me that in the wilderness, there are nine monsters with human faces and bird bodies, called ghost cars. They only enjoy eating human souls, and after people are sucked into their souls, it is said that there are no ghosts all over their bodies. A little scar, like falling asleep," he said and pointed to the ground, "isn't that the case?"

"My lord, wasn't the ghost car killed by the father of Mr. Nianran a hundred years ago... Could it be that it didn't die?" Wei Fu's scalp was numb when he heard the word "ghost car" Well, he is not afraid of anything, but this kind of crooked monster.

"Go to Emperor Yan...bring Hui Ao with you..."

"My lord, do you want to go back and tell Elder Wei?"

"I don't need it for the time being... I'll talk about it when I'm sure..." Wei Lin finished speaking, staring at the expressionless corpse on the ground: I'm afraid... Zhuang Bo's worry... .

The moon was dark and the wind was high, Wei Fu and Hui Ao quickly disappeared into the night.What they didn't realize then was that since they went down the mountain, it meant that there would be no more peace... no, maybe it started earlier...

The author has something to say:

The death time of the corpse, Baidu said that the corpse will ossify 9-12 hours after death, and soften after 30 hours, so after Mr. Gu Nianran touched the arm of the corpse, he roughly confirmed that the death had been more than one day.

"Among the wilderness, there are nine monsters and beasts, with human faces and bird bodies, called ghost cars." . (Ghost car also known as Jiufeng)

Another: Except for the name and appearance borrowed from Shan Hai Jing, the others are all from my nonsense.
