After a few days of flying, Zhang Xiaofan finally arrived at Mount Kongsang. The mountain was still empty and steep, and there was no sign of life within a hundred miles.
This was the first time he came here.
The second time was the same.
The third time…
The mountain was still the same as before, but the people were different.
What could move his expression? And what could hurt people more invisibly than Daoist techniques?
Was it a memory?
Or the person in his memories?
The mountains were still the same, the water was still the same, but that person's shadow was missing…
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his cloud and saw the sun setting in the west. The empty mountain looked desolate, terrifying, and ancient.
He landed at the foot of the mountain and walked up…
As night fell, the area within 100 miles of Kongsang Mountain was completely silent. It was shrouded in black shadows and no one was there. If an ordinary person stayed there for half a day, they would probably go crazy.
However, at this moment, a pile of flames and some words unexpectedly appeared on Mount Kongsang.
" Haha, Fat Chicken, you're unlucky today. Sacrifice yourself for me. When I become famous in the future, I'll definitely erect a monument to burn incense and sing your heroic sacrifice…"
"Haha, after talking for so long, you should just let me fill my stomach.”
A young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, had delicate features and elegant manners. He had the bearing of a rich family's young master, but he was dressed in civilian clothes. He was alone, looking at the rolling roast chicken and gloating.
"As expected of a genius. Nothing has ever stumped me. Haha, I spent three days alone in this mountain, and the deeds I created can be said to be unprecedented…"
"Squeak squeak…"
The young man was shocked when he heard that. He hurriedly turned around and felt relieved. It was just a monkey holding its belly with its paws. It was pointing at him and giggling. It was very funny.
This was the first time the young man had seen an animal other than bats since he came here. He was surprised, but he pretended to be relaxed and waved at Monkey kindly.
The monkey stopped barking and rolled its eyes. It suddenly jumped up and passed the young man to grab the roast chicken. While the young man was still panicking, it jumped away again and raised the roast chicken with its claws, squeaking proudly.
The young man was shocked. He pointed at Monkey and shouted,""You thieving monkey, give it back to me, or I, I, I…"
"Squeak squeak…"
"Hai, I'm afraid that there isn't much food in this Kongsang Mountain. If you're hungry, eat it.”The youth suddenly sighed and sat on the ground, looking at Monkey.
The monkey was obviously stunned. It imitated the youngster and sat on the ground. It sniffed the roast chicken and started eating.
"Hey, you're not really going to eat it, are you? Then can you give me half? It took me half a day to roast it…"
"Squeak…"
"Hey, just a little. Leave me a little. Hey, don't eat it all!”The young man stood up abruptly, his eyes stern and his aura fierce.
Monkey wiped his mouth and stood up abruptly, unwilling to be outdone.
"You…huh? Three eyes?" The youth was shocked. He suddenly saw a third eye between the monkey's eyebrows.
"Xiao Hui is naughty, I'll pay for the chicken he ate.”A cold voice rang out, and a figure on a pair of stilettos appeared in the endless darkness. Xiao Hui's figure flashed and jumped onto the black shadow's shoulder, making a face at the youth.
The young man was shocked again. After calming down for a moment, he said,"Xiao Hui? That three-eyed monkey of yours?"
The black shadow walked toward him. The light from the fire revealed his face. Needless to say, he was Zhang Xiaofan.
"How can I compensate for that chicken just now?”Zhang Xiaofan approached the young man and asked.
The young man's heart was pounding as he looked at Zhang Xiaofan. He took a few deep breaths and his expression slowly relaxed. He smiled and said,""It's just a chicken. It's not a big thing. I have some dry food here.”
Zhang Xiaofan was slightly surprised. He smiled and said," You're quite open-minded. I want to rest here for a night. What do you think?"”
"Sure." The young man agreed readily, but he seemed to have thought of something and added,"You should be a cultivator. I won't say much about the dangers of Kongsang Mountain. I have a quilt here to cover your body. You must not open the quilt after night falls, and you must not leave the surrounding firewood, understand?”
Zhang Xiaofan's smile widened as he looked at the pile of firewood that surrounded them.""Ten thousand bats appear at night on Kongsang Mountain. Are you going to light the firewood around you and wrap your body tightly with a blanket to avoid the bats?”
The young man was delighted and said to Zhang Xiaofan in admiration,""You're really smart. I thought for a long time to come up with a solution, but you saw through it at a glance.”
Zhang Xiaofan's expression returned to normal. He sat down and said calmly,""I don't need your bedding. You can help yourself.”
The young man looked at Zhang Xiaofan and didn't say anything. He sighed to himself that he had finally found someone, but he was so cold that he had nothing to say.
Xiao Hui scratched the back of his head and looked at the two of them before running away, as if he was looking for food again.
The young man was bored, so he took out two pieces of dry food from his bag and handed one to Zhang Xiaofan.""You haven't eaten yet, right? You have to eat something to have the strength to do things.”
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the dried food for a long time before he took it and took a bite.""If you're not a cultivator, what are you doing here?”
The young man's smile froze. He paused for a moment and then said resolutely,""Because I want to cultivate Dao. I want to become a powerful person.”
" Although you're very smart, your aptitude..." Zhang Xiaofan glanced at him and said,""But it's in the middle and lower grades."
"Is it wrong to have poor aptitude?" The young man was furious and yelled at Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment before he started eating his rations.
The wind blew gently, ruffling her thin clothes as an old voice sounded.
Poor aptitude?
What a nostalgic memory.
For those who wanted to cultivate, was it really wrong?
Maybe? Or maybe not?
Who could tell?
"I'm sorry." The young man darkened and said sadly," I…I was too excited just now, so I lost control for a moment. I'm sorry."”
"Because of your poor aptitude, you should have encountered many difficulties.”Zhang Xiaofan chewed on his rations and added,""I'm also a person with poor aptitude.”
The young man was stunned for a moment before he shouted excitedly at Zhang Xiaofan,""Really? Then how did you overcome this difficulty?”
"Why are you here?" Zhang Xiaofan asked coldly.
The young man fell silent and sighed. He sat on the ground without saying anything, as if he was asleep.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't ask any more questions, and the entire place quieted down. The only sounds were the whistling of the wind and the crackling of firewood.
