Chapter 283: Ye Beichen, Nian Shangxie, Li Linglong! I am the Human Tai Sui
Blue sky like a mirror, sun light flowing.
Good spring scenery on Mount Zhongnan, a peach tree fighting for freshness.
The boy was barefoot, leaning under the tree, drinking cola while watching the novel in his hand with relish.
In the distance, another boy was practicing martial arts with concentration. He was dressed in cloth, his expression serious and focused, as if isolated from the world.
"Little Nian, I heard that a little junior sister came to the sect. Do you really not want to go and see?"
The barefoot boy drank cola and talked to himself, but the other party had no response.
"I heard that the little junior sister's talent is amazing. Several old guys from the back mountain have come out..."
The barefoot boy put down the novel in his hand, looked up, revealing a look of thought.
"She... what was her name?"
"Li Linglong!"
"Right, Li Linglong!"
Suddenly, facing the crisp voice that came suddenly, the barefoot boy regained his senses, the cola in his mouth sprayed out, he jumped up, and turned his head back.
At this time, even the cloth-dressed boy not far away slowly opened his eyes.
Both of their gazes fell on the peach tree involuntarily.
A bright girl sat on the tree, her legs dangling, shaking playfully. The ponytail she combed swayed with the wind, and a cunning smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"Who are you?" The barefoot boy was incomparably vigilant.
"This is Mount Zhongnan, you are not a tourist?"
Ordinary tourists couldn't get to this place.
"My name is Li Linglong!" The girl smiled lightly.
"You are the newly arrived junior sister?"
The barefoot boy looked up, the bright sunlight falling on the girl, as if putting a layer of radiance on her, like a fairy falling into the mortal world.
He was stunned for a moment.
"Junior sister?" Li Linglong revealed a playful smile: "Only those better than me can call me junior sister, those weaker than me..."
"Can only call me senior sister!"
As soon as this was said, the barefoot boy and the cloth-dressed boy looked at each other, revealing strange looks.
Such a newcomer who had just entered the sect was actually so rebellious and spoke such wild words.
"Little junior sister, it seems that today senior brother has to tell you about the rules of Mount Zhongnan." The barefoot boy became interested and put the novel in his hand aside.
Rumble...
A loud noise fell, accompanied by the crowing of crows.
A moment later, Li Linglong was still sitting under the peach tree, while the barefoot boy and the cloth-dressed boy were bruised and swollen, kneeling on the ground, looking up at the incredible girl.
"Be good, now tell senior sister, what are your names?" Li Linglong hooked her fingers and smiled lightly.
"My name is Ye Beichen." The barefoot boy looked up at the bright figure and said dazed.
"Nian Shangxie!" The cloth-dressed boy groaned.
The years in the mountain were like water, two years passed in a flash.
Under the peach tree, a streak of thunder light rose, separating the two figures.
"Little Ye Zi, how old are you, actually starting to secretly practice thunder methods." Li Linglong let out a long breath, her gaze toward Ye Beichen's eyes rising with a bright brilliance.
"Senior sister, in two months... you will have to call me junior brother." Ye Beichen was proud.
"Explode!" Li Linglong whispered.
"Explode what?"
Ye Beichen was slightly stunned, subconsciously looking down. That faint fire light became more brilliant at his waist. The next moment, a roar echoed, and Ye Beichen was like a kite with a broken string, directly shaken away, falling to the ground.
"Little ghost, practice more." Li Linglong smiled lightly.
Ye Beichen sat on the ground, looking at Li Linglong who was smiling, but his eyes were full of obsession.
"Ye Zi, it's burning."
Just then, Nian Shangxie's reminder came from the distance.
Ye Beichen only then discovered that his hair was burning, emitting green smoke. He jumped up high like a rabbit and jumped directly into the water pool beside him, a wisp of green smoke vanishing.
"Little Nian, you sit like this every day and will never improve."
Li Linglong turned to look and smiled lightly: "Do you want to practice with senior sister?"
"I don't have your talent." Nian Shangxie lowered his head and whispered: "In fact, I have nothing."
Li Linglong remained silent.
Nian Shangxie was an exception among the disciples of Mount Zhongnan, only because his luck was too bad, and he was regarded as a disaster star.
When he was very young, a fire in his home burned everything clean, his parents were buried in the sea of fire, and not long after being brought back to the mountain by a Daoist of Mount Zhongnan, that Daoist also died due to an accident.
Later, the years of practicing in the mountain completely confirmed his title as a disaster star.
Watching others practice thunder methods, he attracted heavenly thunder and died on the spot.
Helping elders in the sect refine medicine, the furnace exploded, and he was the only one who survived.
Even helping senior brothers send toilet paper at night, the senior brother fell into the dung pit and was suffocated into a vegetable.
Because of this, Nian Shangxie was a disaster star in Mount Zhongnan. Except for Ye Beichen, it seemed that no one wanted to get close to him.
Everyone was afraid of being cursed by him.
"Only he is heartless." Nian Shangxie's gaze narrowed, looking at Ye Beichen who crawled out of the water pool.
"Little Nian, I'm not afraid either. My life is much bigger than Little Ye Zi's."
Li Linglong appeared beside Nian Shangxie like a ghost and shook her feet violently.
"Look..."
"Look at what?" Nian Shangxie was stunned.
"I'm wearing Nike." Li Linglong smiled.
"..."
"Wait until senior sister makes a fortune, I'll buy you a car, then others won't be afraid of you." Li Linglong comforted.
"What car?"
"Buick!"
"..."
"Senior sister, I'm going back to change clothes."
Ye Beichen was soaked, his hair scorched black.
"It's getting late, it's time to go back." Li Linglong looked at the sky and then at Nian Shangxie.
"You guys go back first, I want to practice for a while longer."
Nian Shangxie whispered.
"Then go back early, I'll save you a bun."
Ye Beichen was used to it and walked away slowly with Li Linglong.
The sun set behind the mountain, echoing in the sky.
The world was vast, as if only Nian Shangxie was left. He watched the clouds gather and disperse, and couldn't help but rise a trace of sadness.
"Perhaps, I am destined to be alone."
He knew that his talent could not be compared with Li Linglong and Ye Beichen. No matter how hard he tried, the gap would only get bigger and bigger, and sooner or later they would become people of two worlds.
By then, the world is vast, who else in Mount Zhongnan would be willing to get close to him!?
"Life in the world, cannot escape the four words of life, death, disaster, and blessing..."
"There is still huge potential hidden in your body... power enough to make everyone dim..."
Just then, a faint voice echoed on the empty mountain, like a whisper in the depths of the human heart, echoing in Nian Shangxie's ears.
... Rumble.
Lightning tore through the sky, heavy rain fell in the deep mountain and wild forest.
Nian Shangxie slowly opened his eyes, only feeling a sharp pain coming from his leg.
Every year, the Daoists of Mount Zhongnan travel the mountains, subdue demons and eliminate evil, and bring peace to all directions.
This time, Ye Beichen and Li Linglong were not there. Other fellow disciples regarded him as a disaster star and were unwilling to form a team with him. Nian Shangxie, who was alone, accidentally fell into a hunter's trap in this barren mountain. Although he avoided many vital points of the mechanism with his skills, his right leg was still caught by the animal trap.
Crack...
The sound of firewood cracking was in his ears, the rising fire light spread before his eyes.
Nian Shangxie looked at a pile of bonfire in front of him, somewhat dazed. He looked at the surrounding environment. He was in a ruined temple. A fox was actually sitting cross-legged in front of him, its fiery red fur shining with a metallic luster like brocade, looking at him with complex emotions like a human.
"Monster!?" Nian Shangxie's expression changed slightly, and he was about to move, but it affected his wound.
"Don't move around, otherwise you will have hidden illnesses."
Just then, a fluctuation came from the fox's body, the Nascent Soul manifested, and Nian Shangxie naturally understood the other party's words.
!
"You saved me?" Nian Shangxie's expression was strange.
They went deep into the barren mountain to slay demons and eliminate evil, and kill these monsters.
Yet now, he was saved by a monster.
"Is there anything strange?" The fox squinted, as if seeing through Nian Shangxie's thoughts.
"Your life or death had nothing to do with me, but since I saw it, if I didn't save you, it would be like I killed you."
The fox's words shook Nian Shangxie's heart. He suddenly saw a trace of Dao charm from this mountain spirit and wild monster.
"Are you a Daoist?" The fox looked at Nian Shangxie.
"Hmm!" Nian Shangxie lowered his head and whispered.
"So furry beasts shouldn't save people."
"Only you can practice Dao, we can only harm people." The fox's words were a bit cold.
Nian Shangxie was stunned and speechless for a while.
"Heaven gives birth to all things, where is there any high or low, where is there any right or wrong... You can practice, we can also practice, what is the difference?" The fox looked at the rising fire light and said quietly.
"The only difference is the prejudice in the heart..."
"Prejudice is a great mountain in the human heart..."
Speaking, the fox slowly lay down, lowered its head, and actually fell asleep in front of Nian Shangxie.
This kind of lack of defense, this kind of pure heart, made Nian Shangxie feel a feeling he had never had before.
Rumble...
Lightning crossed the firmament, the dilapidated ancient temple had already turned into a ruin, and scattered fire light could be seen everywhere.
That fiery red fox lay in a pool of blood, the last look toward Nian Shangxie, who was collapsed on the ground, shedding a line of clear tears.
"Why? Why kill it?" Nian Shangxie said dazed.
"What are you going crazy about? It's a monster, it's an evil spirit..."
In the distance, a group of Daoists fiddled with the fox's remains, seemingly confirming its death.
"Hehe, I said it, whoever is with you will have no good end!"
Just then, one of the Daoists grinned.
"Nian Shangxie, meeting you, this fox is destined to die..."
"So, we still have to give him credit when we go back?"
Everyone said one thing and another, laughing loudly, and immediately picked up the fox's corpse and turned to leave.
"Haha... haha..."
Just then, a wanton and crazy laugh slowly sounded above the ruins.
"Hmm!?"
A group of Daoists were stunned, stopping their steps one after another, turning around, looking at Nian Shangxie who was laughing with his head down, and couldn't help but look at each other.
"What are you going crazy about?" One of them scolded.
"You are right... as long as people are with me, there is no good end, destined for great disaster..."
"However... Dao... originally has Yin and Yang..."
"Blessings and disasters depend on each other, good and bad luck coexist..."
Nian Shangxie slowly stood up. The clothes around his body moved without wind, and a terrifying and mysterious aura slowly rose.
"Their great disaster, my great fortune!"
Under the ghastly moonlight, Nian Shangxie's nearly distorted face revealed a ferocious smile. That smile seemed to hide despair for human nature, and near-extreme madness for the human red dust.
"Nian... Nian Shangxie... what are you doing?"
A terrified voice sounded in the night. Before the words were finished, screams were endless, and scarlet blood stained this cold night.
I don't know how long it had been.
The bright moon set, and the darkness before dawn was both cold and intense.
Broken corpses lay in the pool of blood. Not far away was the corpse of the fiery red fox.
Above the ruins, the fire light became more vigorous, like human anger, as if wanting to burn everything to ashes.
When Ye Beichen and Li Linglong arrived, it was such a scene like purgatory.
"What happened? What happened?"
"Little Nian... Little Nian..."
Ye Beichen's eyes widened, shouting in loss of voice.
Just then, he was pulled by Li Linglong. Following the latter's trembling gaze, he looked...
Ye Beichen was stunned. He was like an electric shock, a look of horror rising in his eyes. Where his gaze reached, Nian Shangxie sat on the ruins, just like he practiced martial arts on weekdays, only this time, his aura was completely different. Even the sun and moon lost their light, even the wind and thunder had no sound.
"Little Nian, what's wrong?" Ye Beichen's expression changed abruptly, and he was about to rush over, but was stopped by Li Linglong.
Such a subtle action, falling into Nian Shangxie's eyes, a light smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Li Linglong, you are not only beautiful, but also smart."
"Ye Zi, movies all say that the more beautiful a woman is, the less she can be trusted. You must be careful of our senior sister, this counts as my last advice to you."
"Last advice?" Ye Beichen's brow wrinkled.
"Did you kill all these people?"
Li Linglong asked in a deep voice. As soon as this was said, Ye Beichen's face trembled, revealing an incredible look.
Nian Shangxie said noncommittally. He raised his head, looking at the black sky curtain, whispering.
"Look, how bright the Year Star is tonight."
"The Year Star has mastered the good and bad luck of the world since ancient times..."
"Yes, great disaster, there must be great fortune... rotation back and forth, life and death without extinguishing..."
"There is good and bad luck in the years of the world, today I know I am me!"
A long sigh fell quietly, melting in this blood-colored moon night. Nian Shangxie slowly stood up, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his pupils. Behind him, a fire seemed to shoot into the sky, time rotated, holding the good and bad luck.
"Little Nian..." Ye Beichen's heart trembled. He suddenly felt a strange feeling. From then on, there was no longer the Nian Shangxie he knew in this world.
"Ye Beichen..."
"From now on, I am this human..."
"Tai Sui!"
The words fell, and that figure stepped out and disappeared into the vast night.
