"Master, you lied to us? I said why the knife and the black wolves were so afraid of Lao Wang. Chiaki deliberately pretended to be very angry, hoping that the master could feel his anger after being deceived.

"You?" the master asked with a smile and looked back.

"I'm still silent. Chiaki really said.

"Who is silent?" the master asked him angrily.

Qianqiu looked at the smiling master and knew that she was starting to tease herself again: "The name of the little beauty I sent back today is You Buyu." ”

"It turns out that you have asked for everyone's names, so will I prepare some dowry for you in a few days? Let you marry the little girl home?" The master couldn't stop laughing and continued to tease Qianqiu.

"Oh, master, don't tease me!" Qianqiu, who had no experience in the world, blushed again.

"Okay, I lied to her, that little girl is a nobleman in the demon, isn't it good for her to not be able to figure out my skills?"

"I see, that master, what level of spirit beast is Lao Wang?"

"Level five. The master said lightly.

Qianqiu said "wow", and the doubts in his heart instantly became clear: "No wonder the knives are afraid of Lao Wang, so they roared, and those black wolves didn't have time to run." A fifth-level spirit beast, that master is at least ...... Sorcer, oh!"

"It turns out that you rely on Lao Wang? I thought you were really good at it, and you contracted a blade horse by yourself. The master pretended to be surprised.

"Lao Wang only helped me a little, and I still relied on my own contract knife. You say, right, knives. Chiaki slammed Nunu's mouth towards the knife.

As soon as the knife heard Qianqiu's words, the horse's head turned and ignored him.

The master watched the performance of the two and sighed: "Okay, okay, don't think about colluding with it." This is for you, start tomorrow, hang this up and cultivate. After saying that, he handed Qianqiu a string of small brown rattans, and in the middle of the rattan was a small colorful bead.

Qianqiu took it, put it in his hand and fumbled for it, hanging it around his neck, the small beads just hung down to his heart, he looked at this string of small things, and asked, "Master, what is this?"

"Heart Beads. It is one of the magic weapons of my master's sect, and wearing it to cultivate can make your cultivation not split into five, which means that you can cultivate and grow five attribute spells at the same time. However, forging hurts, so you have to be prepared. ”

"Master, you finally gave me a treasure, then if I practice hard, wouldn't my cultivation be able to improve by leaps and bounds in a short time! Why didn't you give it to me before?" Qianqiu was so happy that she kept kissing the little bead, not realizing that a brain melon was whizzing behind her.

"Oh, master, you hit me again!" Chiaki kept stroking her head with a sad face.

"Earlier, you didn't even see the threshold of a junior magician, I gave you the Heart Demon Bead, can I watch you forge your body alive and die?"

Qianqiu nodded helplessly, feeling that what he said made sense, and asked again: "Master, I already have the cultivation of a junior magician, you said that the heart demon bead can forge the body, it will hurt very much, how much does it hurt?"

"It hurts a lot. ”

......

Early the next morning, the sound of a pig-killing howl came from the Luoxia slope into the dense forest, startling a burst of birds.

Qianqiu, who had just been cultivating for a quarter of an hour, had already soaked his clothes with pain, and he endured it while screaming.

The master sat on the side and hit him with a wooden stick: "Don't howl!

"Yes!" Chiaki shouted!

"Then endure it! The reason why the teacher let you use the magic beads to assist in cultivation is that the teacher wants you to overcome the demons in your heart. You are timid, easy to be proud, thin like a bamboo pole, and the ability to resist can be said to be nothing, and when you enter the WTO, the monster will beat you up with a slap, and the master can protect you for a while, but he can't protect you for a lifetime. From now on, practice for five hours a day until you are promoted to an intermediate magician. The master said sonorously with Qianqiu.

"Got it, master!" Chiaki shouted the last sentence, and then said no more. At this moment, he felt as if his body was about to crack, and the magic cultivation he had cultivated had been impacting the five cultivation pools, and the pain he usually felt from his cultivation had increased by five times in an instant. The majestic power from the heart bead seemed to tear open every muscle in his heart, and under such pain, he still chose to endure and persevere, because he knew that the master must be doing this for his good.

Since I was a child, I didn't doubt the longevity of every word my master said, and my belief was very firm.

The master looked at Qianqiu, who was sweating profusely and looking at Qianqiu with bared teeth expressionlessly, but in fact, he was unwilling to do a hundred or a thousand in his heart. Qianqiu was raised by her since she was a child, and she has been by her side for more than ten years, so she can be said to be her dearest person. I can protect myself when I encounter any danger, but the child always has to grow up and go out. What's more, with his identity, he has his own mission, and in the future, there will be many dangers, and I am afraid that I will not be able to protect him when the time comes.

"Come on, boy. The master silently cheered for Qianqiu in his heart.

....

Two years later.

The mountain wind was still the same as usual, slowly caressing the faces of the mountains, and the dead leaves falling from the mountains gently fell on the young man who was meditating and cultivating.

After two years of training and forging the heart of the demon bead, now Qianqiu has not only grown a lot taller, but his figure is even more magnificent, and the baptism of the sun for a long time has made his complexion a healthy bronze, with his broad shoulders open and powerful, and his long facial features are clearly defined, although he is not very handsome and chic, but his manly spirit is fully revealed.

"Slowly withdraw the qi, and then feel the fluctuations in the depths of the cultivation pool. The temperament of the master on the side is still undiminished, guiding the thousand autumns of meditation.

"Whew!" Qianqiu exhaled, slowly stood up, and said slowly, "Master, I have completely established myself in the realm of intermediate magicians. ”

The master looked at the young man in front of him carefully and nodded: "It's not bad, and it doesn't waste your Five Elements Body." It's just that there is a lack of some actual combat exercises, otherwise the progress should be faster. ”

"It's okay, master, I'll go to the mountains with the knife now to find monsters and spirit beasts. Qianqiu pretended to be bland, but in fact, she couldn't wait to go to the mountains to let go of herself.

"No need. The master waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "Clean up and go down the mountain tomorrow." ”

When Qianqiu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "Master, Qianqiu doesn't know what he did wrong, even if you punish him, I will never complain, please don't drive me down the mountain." ”

The master helped up the kneeling Qianqiu: "The master has no opinion on you, but two years ago, the master said that you need to go down the mountain to do something you should do if you learn the art of contract, and now that the time is ripe, I will also give you the heart magic bead, and you should also go down the mountain." ”

"Master, but I don't think I'm enough. Chiaki hurriedly replied.

"It's not a question of enough, in the past eighteen years, I have taken you to collect medicine and catch demons, and you must have seen a lot of evil demons. Chiaki nodded. "Over the years, the world has become more and more chaotic, demons have become more and more rampant, and there are still so many evil demons in our deep mountains, have you ever thought that there should be many monsters in the ordinary world that plague the people. ”

"Master, I understand. ”

"You may be the only one of the five elements in the human race, in fact, I don't know how high your ceiling is, I used to fight you for the teacher, I was afraid that you would be proud and complacent. Now that you are much more mature, it should give you some confidence. With such a high ceiling, if you only live in this mountain forest for the rest of your life and don't do something, are you willing?"

"Master, Chiaki understands!" Chiaki clenched his fists and knelt on the ground.

"Understand what?"

"Enter the world to ambush evil demons, and return peace to the world!"

Day 2.

Qianqiu packed her bags and stood on the edge of Luoxia Slope, Lao Wang and the master stood aside.

"Old Wang, goodbye, I'm leaving, I can't ride you to play anymore. Qianqiu said sadly while holding Lao Wang's tiger head.

"Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, this thing is for you. The master couldn't stand it, and handed Qianqiu a small gray bag, with a few red silk threads wrapped around the mouth of the small bag.

Qianqiu opened the bag, and there was nothing in it: "Master, there is nothing." ”

"Fool, this thing is called the Qiankun bag, it's very valuable, if you use a little magic to urge it, you can shrink it to accommodate all kinds of things, of course, there is no air in it, you don't want to put the knife in it." The master looked at Chiaki and reminded him.

"Thank you, master!" Chiaki said happily, thinking, finally no longer have to carry luggage. "Master, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"After you go down the mountain, you are not allowed to tell anyone that I am a master, and from now on you will be a wild boy with no sect and no sect. After descending the mountain, you can go to the east, and after March, the Oriental sect will accept apprentices, and you may be able to go there to learn something new. ”

"Got it, master. Qianqiu knew her master's strange temper, and she must have a reason to tell herself to do this, when this kind of seriousness, he would not talk too much, and obey orders.

Qianqiu sat on the bladed horse and looked at the master: "Master, when can I come back to see you?

The master patted the knife on the back, urging it to go on the road, and then shouted to Qianqiu: "Wait until you are promoted to the master of magic, and you can come back with a powerful spirit beast, the master is waiting for you in Luoxiapo!"

"Got it, master! I will definitely work hard, and I will not disgrace you! Definitely!" the young man's firm promise floated in the wind, and the master standing in the wind heard it.

Under the veil, a smile of relief appeared on the beautiful face.

【Misty Forest】

Descending the Luoxia Slope, Qianqiu has always been thinking about the master in his heart, he has never left the master since he was a child, and he has mixed feelings in his heart at this time.

After running for more than 100 miles, Qianqiu finally came to the misty forest on the east side of the Shenshan Mountain.

It is covered with gray fog all year round, which looks eerie, and it is better to have sunlight during the day, and at night, the fog is together, which is really terrifying and scary.

After noon, the weather was bad, the clouds were thick, and the fog of the misty forest was thick early.

At this time, it was already sunset, the swing looked around, every tree was basically the same, the fog had risen, roughly estimated the itinerary, and thought: "The misty forest is estimated to be impossible to get out today, and it will be better to rush again tomorrow morning." ”

Having made up his mind, he looked around for a place to rest for the night, thinking that it would be better to find a ruined temple or a thatched hut than to sleep in a tree for the night.

After searching for a while, it was completely dark.

Chiaki lit a torch and rode a bladed horse over a small mound of dirt, when suddenly a few women's cries were heard: "Help, help!"

He followed the sound and found a small ruined temple, and the cry for help came from this ruined temple.
