"Dad, are you better" Zhuo Ren just entered the room, moved the stool with a happy face, sat on the edge of the bed, and said. On the dilapidated bed, Zhuo Gang was half-squinting, half-lying on the bed, this man who could be forty, due to perennial fatigue, his skin was dark and rough, the wounds on his face had begun to scar, and the bruises and swelling had also dispersed a lot, but his eyes were slightly sunken, and he looked like he had no energy.

"Ren'er is back, I'm fine, don't worry" Zhuo Gang raised his eyes to look at Zhuo Ren, nodded and smiled. After speaking, he asked Zhuo Ren to help him get up and go to the ground, although it was not very natural, and he touched the wound from time to time, which made Zhuo Gang's brows furrow. Zhuo Ren helped his father walk a few steps, Zhuo Gang waved his hand to signal Zhuo Ren to let go, and staggered out of the house alone...

A simple dinner, a family of three was happy, and pieces of laughter filled every corner of the yard. Zhuo Gang said a lot of happy things, but he didn't say a word about what happened yesterday, although Zhuo Ren's mother and son were full of doubts. Zhuo Gang also asked Yu Jing to take out a few taels of burning knives that had been treasured for a long time, poured a small half of Zhuo Ren, and stuffed a small cup himself, which caused Yu Jing to nag on the side for a while...

The night in the small mountain village has a different kind of beauty. In a few moments, the moonlight poured down from the sky like a lake, silently pouring down in the fields, streams, farmhouses and courtyards.

Zhuoren's family of three sat on the bamboo chairs in the courtyard casually, no one spoke, and the short silence was very contrary to the sound of frogs and crickets...

"Ah Gang, what happened yesterday, who injured you, is it that Li Zhu, the head of the village, bullied you again" Yu Jing asked cautiously.

Zhuo Ren also pricked up his ears and looked at his father. Yesterday, Zhuo Gang, like many young adults in the village, worked for Lao Li's family. Except for the busy farming season, they spend most of their time working at Lao Li's house in exchange for some odd pieces of silver to subsidize the family. It's already July, and the crops have been planted, so it doesn't take much time to take care of them. Lao Li's house has many large and deep mines. Zhuo Gang, like Liu Sheng's fellow villagers, usually digs some red mud and raw iron in the mine, and then uses a wooden cart to push these materials out. At the end of a day, you can change ten copper plates, and in a year, it is a few taels of silver, which is already a good income for a small local villager like Tianxi Village. The old Li family is one of the richest families in the village, although the old lady Li Chengfeng is old, he is also in good health, and he is a delicate person, and he will not be too harsh on Zhuo Gang and his fellow workers. It's just that Li Chengfeng's eldest grandson, Li Zhu, because his father Li Yun was lucky to worship an immortal sect called Tianyangmen shortly after his son was born. Li Zhu was pampered by his mother and grew up, his eyes were empty, and he was flying and domineering, and no one except Mrs. Li could say anything. Li Zhu often teased Zhuo Gang and them. Li Zhu Da Zhuoren is two years old, although he just reached adulthood last year, he is still as naughty as a child, and often causes trouble for Mrs. Li. During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Li Zhu secretly released croton in the water source of the mine, and the villagers in the entire mine were tossed with smoke. In the end, he was grounded by Mrs. Li for a month before he relented for a while. This year is not out of the ordinary, but from time to time the food in the mine is salty or sweet sticky, and the chef in the mine is a good hand at cooking for more than ten years, so it stands to reason that he will not break his craft from time to time. Gradually, news came out, and every time the meal was difficult to swallow, there was Li Zhu's figure.

Zhuo Gang straightened out his thoughts, and said, "This thing is quite evil to think about, and in recent times, there will be strange noises in Qingyang Mountain every noon. Sometimes it's a whining cry, sometimes it's a giggling scream, it's very weird. Speaking of this, Zhuo Gang's soft face began to stiffen little by little, faintly turning into a slightly frightened look. "Yesterday, the voices grew louder and louder, at first muddled and then shrill and harsh. It hasn't stopped since noon. When Mrs. Li received the information, she called the escort team to come to the mine and look for the source of the sound. I searched through all the mines and found nothing. Just when everyone gathered to discuss, a gust of wind blew, and suddenly a fog appeared, and then all of us fought each other uncontrollably, until the sun completely went down, the sky was dark, and the fog dissipated, and everyone recovered" Zhuo Gang continued with a worried face, "We are all very sober, knowing that it was our own villagers and friends, but we still beat up uncontrollably, fortunately, the guards did not use blades when they started, otherwise..."

Zhuo Ren stared at his father, stunned for a while, then raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Didn't Old Lady Li's son Li Yun worship under the Immortal Sect, Old Lady Li will definitely ask him to come back to help deal with it, it must be a demon doing evil."

Zhuo Ren is already fifteen years old, next year will be an adult, in Tianxi Village, after adulthood, you can marry a wife and start a family, many things in the village Zhuo Ren has heard, the raw iron mined in the Li family's mine, red mud is also transported to Tianyangmen, in exchange for the protection and support of Tianyangmen.

When Zhuo Gang heard this, his frightened look dissipated a lot, "Yes, I almost forgot, Li Yun is an immortal, Old Lady Li will definitely send a message to Tianyangmen, and when he comes back, he will definitely be able to deal with those messy things" Then he remembered something and said with a straight face, "I'll go to Lao Li's house to see what the situation is now, if it is dealt with, I will go to work in the mine tomorrow, and I haven't received my salary yesterday" After speaking, he got up and changed into clean clothes, picked up a broken lantern, shook it, and walked to Lao Li's house at the head of the village...

Zhuo Ren watched his father's slightly staggering figure go out of the courtyard, gradually turning into a faint fire in the night until it disappeared, and sighed lightly.

Zhuo Ren retracted his gaze and swept his mother Yu Jing without a trace, and her mother also stood up, looking at the direction in which Zhuo Gang disappeared, her eyes staring outside without blinking, her dim eyes were full of worry...

Zhuo Ren knew that his father was a tendon, and even if his mother didn't let him go just now, he couldn't stop it. After a moment of silence, "Mother, I will also follow my father to take a look, my father's injury has not fully recovered" Zhuo Ren looked at Yu Jingdao tentatively.

"No, you're still a child, what's running around in the dark light, go back to sleep" Yu Jing refused with an undoubted face.

Zhuo Ren went back to the house stupidly...

Zhuo Ren sat quietly in the room, recalling the strange things his father said, the more he thought about it, the more unreasonable it became, "Forget it, let's sleep", shook his head, and just wanted to blow out the candlelight in the room, the window passed through a figure, and then a hand gently poked open the window, revealing a blurred outline in the moonlight. "Lin Feng"

Look at each other without any words. Zhuo Ren got up and got dressed. In the moonlight, two and a half old children sneaked out of the yard.

"Villain, have you heard? Li Yun came back this afternoon, Old Lady Li summoned Tianyangmen overnight last night, that's an immortal, you don't want to see the means of immortals" As soon as he got out of the courtyard to make sure that he was not discovered by Zhuo Ren's mother, Lin Feng couldn't wait to speak, and while the foam was flying, the admiration and yearning on his face were vividly displayed...

Zhuo Ren looked up at the sky, the night was getting thicker and thicker, the moonlight was getting brighter and brighter, his mind moved slightly, and he silently said "It's already time" in his heart

Lin Feng skimmed Zhuo Ren for one night, and found that he was not listening to himself at all, but looked at the sky blankly, and couldn't help patting Zhuo Ren's shoulder and said, "What are you looking at, I heard that Uncle Liu, Uncle Zhang, they went to the Li family at the head of the village in the evening, this will be estimated to be watching Li Yun slay demons in Qingyang Mountain, Uncle Zhuo should be fine, my grandfather said that he is fine, as long as he recuperates for a few days."

Zhuo Ren turned his head to look at Lin Feng and said, "My father also went to Li's house an hour ago, but his injuries have not healed, and it is still a little inconvenient to walk, my mother and I are a little worried" Zhuo Ren squinted his eyes and thought about it and said, "Crazy, I also want to see the methods of immortals, let's sneak over and have a look, but we can't let my father and mother know"

Lin Feng and Zhuo Ren are the same age. The two are similar in shape and size, but there is a small black mole between Lin Feng's eyebrows, Lin Feng is happy and lively, but Zhuo Ren likes to be quiet. Although their personalities are somewhat different, the two have been inseparable for most of the time since childhood, growing up together, and their feelings for each other are as solid as a rock. Lin Feng's parents passed away early, and he has always been dependent on Lin Songye, Lin Feng has been yearning for the path of martial arts cultivation since he was a child, although Zhuo Ren is not so obsessed, but he is also very moved. I heard that Li Yun worshiped Tianyangmen in the early years, but it was all by mistake, and ordinary peasant boys like Zhuo Ren and Lin Feng had never thought of becoming immortals.

The two figures, by the moonlight, touched in the direction of Qingyang Mountain...
