Demon

Cen Guan first met Yu Ya 20 years ago.

He was still young at that time, he had just been brought to Xuxuan Mountain, and was accepted as a disciple by the head of Xuxuan Mountain.

He has a eccentric temperament and is indifferent to others. He seems to be very out of the crowd at a young age. Although he is the youngest junior on Xuxuan Mountain, he is not very popular.

There is an even more important reason, that many people under Xuxuanshan's sect were trying to perform this apprenticeship ceremony, but they were taken advantage of by a thin boy who came from somewhere, so naturally they felt very resentful.

Cen Guan was really too young at that time, and he still had expectations for many people's sophistication. He was not as indifferent as he is now, and he would feel sad in the face of those malice and isolation.

There is a forbidden area at the back of Xuxuan Mountain. In the center of the forbidden area is the barrier-free tower. Only the head master and five elders can enter this tower. It is said that all the vicious monsters are locked inside.

The barrier-free tower is full of evil spirits. Even passing outside the forbidden area will make people feel uncomfortable. There are always few people around, and everyone avoids this place on weekdays.

Cen Guan liked it very much.

He spent most of his free time in the woods of the back mountain, sometimes looking at the barrier-free tower not far away, more curious than frightened, after all, no monsters have ever escaped from this tower.

The first monster to escape was met by Cen Guan.

It was a fine afternoon, and Cen Guan was meditating.The head said that he is making progress very quickly, he is a rare natural monk, and he will make great achievements in the future.

The senior brothers and sisters next to him sneered disdainfully, Cen Guan avoided their sight, and came to the quiet and deserted place on his own.

There was a muffled thunder in his ears, Cen Guan opened his eyes, and found that his hands were still covered with brilliant golden light, and the sun was still shining in the sky. He was puzzled for a moment, then raised his head to look in the direction of the barrier-free tower in horror.

I saw a layer of pale golden enchantment rising from the edge of the originally empty forbidden area, and the muffled thunder kept falling, and the roaring one was a snow-white giant beast, its wings spread out, covering half of the forbidden area, and The golden color on the enchantment has already cracked...

When Cen Guan saw a monster for the first time, he was terrified, hoarse and wanted to shout loudly, but found that he couldn't make a sound, so he could only collapse on the spot, watching in horror as the crack grew bigger and bigger, and finally shattered. Make a rift.

This seemed to Cen Guan an extremely long process, but in fact it was just a matter of a moment.

The monster easily stepped out from the edge of the forbidden area, and Cen Guan's eyes blurred, only feeling that his vision was completely occupied by a vast expanse of whiteness.

He finally got up, turned around and staggered to escape, but before running a few steps, his footsteps softened and he rolled down a steep slope.

Sharp stones rubbed against his flesh, and broken wood and branches pierced his head and face. A sharp pain came from his leg. Cen Guan lay down in embarrassment on the slope, watching the monster pass by above him, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. Stop crying out loud.

The pain and fear made him tremble all over, and his voice was hoarse, which sounded terribly miserable.

The monster squinted at him from above, the red light in its eyes faded and turned into warm black.

It continued to move forward without stopping, but stopped in the midst of Cen Guan's increasingly mournful cries, it seemed to have struggled a bit, then turned around and walked back.

Cen Guan's voice was hoarse from crying, and his eyes were blurred. He watched the approaching monster trembling all over, and the blood on his legs seeped into the soil, staining it black and red.

A wing protruded from above, and golden sunlight danced on the snow-white down feathers. Cen Guan heard the voice of the monster, but it was not frightening. It was like the breeze blowing by, gentle and warm.

The monster said: "Don't be afraid."

Cen Guan's fear was miraculously soothed, his sobbing and trembling gradually stopped, but the pain in his leg became more and more unbearable.

The wings protruding from above waved at him, Cen Guan subconsciously tightened his body to hide, but the tip of the wings only gently caressed his face.

The whole mountain trembled, and a lavender mist rose in the distance. The monster flinched for some reason, its wings drooped feebly, then lifted up again, and placed it in front of Cen Guan.

The monster pulled him up from the slope, and Cen Guan saw its appearance clearly. It was an extremely beautiful and holy beast. A monster, more like a divine beast.

The monster looked towards the east, a hint of disappointment and helplessness flashed in its eyes, and pushed Cen Guan with its paws. Although it was a complaint, Cen Guan no longer felt fear.

"It's all your fault."

Cen Guan clutched his leg, his tears hadn't been wiped clean, he choked up and asked tentatively, "You, are you going to run away?"

The monster shook its head, but it was lying in its place safely: "Now it can't run away."

Before Cen Guan could say anything, it suddenly grabbed Cen Guan's leg with its paws, stuck out its tongue and licked his leg amidst Cen Guan's screams, and said in distaste, "What are you shouting for?"

Cen Guan was surprised to find that the wound on his leg had healed.

The monster stretched its waist and said to Cen Guan: "Although we can't escape, it's not bad to see the sun and the breeze again. I've healed your wound for you. Go and pick some fruits for me."

Cen Guan got up, ran two steps, then turned around and asked, "Do you have a name?"

The monster didn't seem to expect him to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yu Ya."

Cen Guan recited the name silently in his heart, and replied, "My name is Cen Guan. Wait for me!"

"and many more!"

Cen Guan turned around strangely, only to find that the huge monster had disappeared, replaced by a man leaning on a rock.

He was dressed in a white robe, and his eyes were picturesque, even the sunlight was a little pale because of it.

Cen Guan was stunned for a while, only to hear Yu Ya say: "I want at least five kinds of fruits, red in color and uniform in size, and each fruit should be paired with two stalk leaves, not ugly ones, remember? "

Cen Guan nodded numbly, and ran away in a panic when he came back to his senses.

Cen Guan saw that the surrounding area of ​​Xuxuan Mountain was purple, like an invisible solid barrier, which Cen Guan had never seen before, and wondered if it was because of this that the monster said it couldn't escape.

He was extremely flustered, and ran around to pick the ripe berries, but Yu Ya's request was really tricky, and the more flustered Cen Guan became, the more he couldn't find it. In the end, he couldn't care less, gathered his robe, ran back, and fell down. I ignored it twice.

He felt strange about his behavior in his heart, the thing he was so afraid of just now, but now he wanted to run to it again as soon as possible.

Cen Guan didn't know how long he had been there, but when he returned, Yu Ya had disappeared, leaving a pool of bright red blood on the ground, and the fruit slipped to the ground, stained with blood.

There was a buzzing sound in the barrier-free tower, and Cen Guan saw the headmaster standing in front of the tower from a distance, with blood still shining on his sword.

His tears were pattering on his chest, he felt fear for some reason, and quietly hid behind the tree.

A monster escaped and ended with the head of the sect suppressing it with his own power, and the barrier around the forbidden area was strengthened a lot, and it was a peaceful and peaceful day again.

As he grows older, Cen Guan is no longer the cowardly and crying child, but he will never forget the monster that stretched out its wings towards him.

He began to understand many things, and the actions that he had no time to think about and did not understand when he was young gradually became clear.

Cen Guan probably knew that he was the one who caught the monster from fleeing. If it wasn't for saving himself, it might be stretching its body freely under the shadow of a forest somewhere, bathing in the natural breeze.

Guilt fermented into concern, and gradually twisted into an invisible dark desire.

That snow-white beast, that man, gradually became a delusion he couldn't let go of, invading his dreams, his thoughts, and every inch of his flesh and blood in the unknown dark place.
