Chapter 2 The boy gave up his hand for ten years

On a flat land. But there are a mess of green creatures, and in the middle of these green creatures, there is a faint path that is not wide. The path zigzagged forward, as if it didn't know where it was and then quietly disappeared.

On the path, there will be laughter from time to time, and a pair of brothers and sisters are walking slowly.

Finally, the path stretched with difficulty to its end, a simple bamboo house.

In the bamboo house, a pair of old people sat facing each other. One of them had a sheep's whisker, while the other was a younger old man, whose hair was white, but still mixed with a few strands of green silk, and she combed all her hair to the side, and then tied it with a red strip of cloth, and looked kindly at the two children who were getting closer and closer...

"Grandma Xu!" Leng Yue immediately shouted when she saw Grandma Xu.

"Hey, come in, come in," Grandma Xu replied with a smile.

"Grandma Xu, look, this is given to us by Grandpa Lang. As she spoke, Leng Yue raised her hand, and immediately a white halo appeared on her wrist.

"It seems to be a good thing," replied Grandma with a smile, "and tomorrow you will be gone, and you must go and say goodbye to your grandfather." Growing up here, they can't bear you!"

"We know that all of you have been to your grandfather's house. Don't worry, grandma. Leng Yang said.

While they were talking, the old man with the sheep's beard in the house slowly walked out of the room, glanced at the bracelet in the middle, and said

"That old thing is so willing, you two come out with me. ”

The old man with a sheep beard spoke in a calm tone, and walked steadily to the bamboo forest next to the bamboo house. Leng Yue and Leng Yang brother and sister immediately followed the old man. Grandma Xu didn't come over, just looked at them with a smile on her face at the door.

"Look at it!" As soon as Grandpa Gu finished saying this, he saw that the wind around him, which was originally very calm, suddenly became violent, and a small wind vortex gradually formed with Grandpa Gu as the center. As soon as Grandpa Gu grabbed the void, a sickle made of wind blades appeared in his hand, and with a slight step on his feet, his whole body jumped into the air with the power of the wind, and with a light wave of his arm, the wind seemed to be thrown out, and one after another wind blades hit the bamboo wood. As the wind weakened, Grandpa Gu gradually fell to the ground, and at the same time, there were three rows of neat bamboo tubes, stacked on top of each other from top to bottom, with exactly the same size and thickness.

Leng Yue Leng Yang on the side widened his eyes and looked surprised.

"That's amazing, am I wrong? That was done by Grandpa Gu? Why have I never seen it before!"

"Grandpa Gu, where are you?" Leng Yang asked.

"This is called the Wind Law Demon Scythe, a kind of wind source technique, it is not too difficult to learn, but it is not too easy, as for its grade, you will naturally know it in the future, but you were still young before, and you lived a peaceful life, so you didn't need these things. Now that you are grown up, you have to go out. You should learn more skills for self-defense. Saying that, Grandpa Gu threw two identical scrolls to the brothers and sisters, "This is a very detailed record, you must practice diligently after you go out." Remember, it's not very safe outside, you have to be careful when you do things, think more before you do anything, and you must not cause trouble and deliberately do nothing. Do you understand?" said Grandpa Gu in a serious tone.

"Grandpa Gu, don't worry, I will definitely protect her well!" said Leng Yang and patted his sister's shoulder.

"What are you doing to protect me, you don't have to beat me, huh!" Leng Yue retorted.

"Okay, you're amazing, you can protect me. Leng Yang looked at his sister's stubborn face and said with a smile.

"You try to take all our abilities out, and although they are not on the stage, it is much better than being taken to the soil by us. I remember that after going out, the famous mountains and rivers, historic sites and scenic spots, have a good experience, and the danger outside is dangerous, which is also quite exciting!" Grandpa Gu encouraged the brother and sister.

"It's not all skills, can't I take my best skills with me?" Everyone looked into the distance, and an old man in a yellow shirt with white hair and eyebrows slowly walked towards the bamboo house.

"Grandpa Dai, you're here!" Leng Yang stepped forward to greet him.

"What are your skills, do you play chess, or teach ants to fight?" Leng Yue said and couldn't help but snicker.

"Whether it's a chess game, an ant board, it's endless, Grandpa Dai and I control it well, it's also fun!" The old man in the yellow shirt felt his own feelings, and his words were a little mysterious and a little proud.

"You can just have fun with yourself, anyway, I don't want to stare at the ants day by day!" Leng Yue said honestly.

"Haha" The old man in the yellow shirt said to Leng Yue with a smile, and patted her head with his hand, "When you grow up, you will understand everything, if you regret it, it will be too late to cry......"

"Okay, stop talking, come and eat. Grandma Xu shouted to everyone in front of the door of the bamboo house.

"Okay, let's go over..."Saying that, Leng Yue and Leng Yang quickly ran towards the bamboo house.

The two old men were still standing in place, the bamboo leaves that had been knocked down by the wind blades were floating in the wind, stubbornly refusing to admit their fate to the land......

"I've worked hard tonight. The old man with a sheep's beard arched his hand at the old man in the yellow shirt.

The old man in the yellow shirt didn't answer, he smiled and walked towards the bamboo house, strangely, not a single bamboo leaf fell on the road he walked, as if all of them were frozen in the air...

In the bamboo house, three elderly people and two children sat around the dining table, chatting happily, and the atmosphere was very lively.

"Leng Yang's talent is okay, but it is still a little worse than Leng Yue, in the future, I still have to practice hard, and if I can really achieve some cultivation, the future will be bright!" Dai Lao looked at the brother and sister and said.

"Thank you Grandpa Dai for your advice, it's a pity...... I'm a refiner...... I'm afraid it's not talented. Leng Yang shook his head helplessly.

"Haha, it's inevitable to encounter some setbacks, but it's too early to say that you can't do it, if not, Old Man Lang won't accept you as an apprentice. Dai Lao smiled and comforted Leng Yangdao.

"That's it, brother, I believe that your refining weapon will never stop at the fire thought!" Leng Yue said with a stab in the arm.

Dai Lao glanced at the two brothers and sisters, and then at the two old men sitting on the side, lowered his head, as if looking for something in the sleeve robe, and after a few words, he took out a hammer from his arms, and with a "bang", he threw it lightly on the table.

"You guys bring it!"

"How can this be ......", before Leng Yang and Leng Yue could react, Grandma Xu opened her mouth to stop her.

"There's nothing that can't be done," Dai Lao was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Some people shouldn't be remembered, but some things can't be buried, and this hammer should also play its role." ”

Grandma Xu wanted to say something, but Dai Lao waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to say any more, and turned to Leng Yang and Leng Yue: "You don't have to ask me what it's for, bring it, it will definitely be useful in the future." ”

"Leng Yang (Yue) wrote down ......," the brother and sister replied in unison.

Dai Lao nodded lightly and said to the old man with a sheep's beard: "Old Gu, it's time, let's go!"

"Good!" the two old men then got up and walked out the door......

"Where are the two grandfathers going?" Leng Yue asked Grandma Xu.

"Before you go, there are still some things to do, so you can rest in peace and rest alone!"

The brother and sister saw that their grandmother did not mean to tell them, so they did not ask any more questions.

The moon hangs on the night, before the cliff......

The seven old men sat quietly with their eyes closed, and under each old man there was a disc of light patterns, slowly spinning.

At this time, two old men walked slowly, one in a yellow shirt and the other in a sheep's beard, which was Dai Lao and Gu.

"Are you really going to let them out of the hammer?" asked the ancient.

"Isn't it proper?" Dai Lao asked rhetorically, with a glance raised.

"I don't have a problem, just be measured!" the old man smiled.

Just as he was speaking, an old man who was sitting quietly suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The moon is in the middle of the month!"

"Let's go!"

I saw the old yellow shirt fluttering, and the halo under his feet was swinging one after another, and the vast spiritual power continued to converge towards him.

For a time, the wind was chaotic, and the pneumatic universe was ......

When the yellow moon has not yet receded from the night sky, and the darkness has not yet returned to the sky. The sun is already shining on the horizon, and although there are only a few wisps, it has passed through thousands of clouds and reached the sky!

At dawn, on a high hill, two people stood silently. Next to it is a stone tablet that has some damage, on the stone tablet, there is no word written, but Leng Yang and Leng Yue are clear, clearly and deeply remembered, this is their mother's grave!

Their mother died not long after giving birth to Leng Yue. Since childhood, Leng Yue and Leng Yang were raised by several old people in the village. For his mother's impression, Leng Yang only has a few simple pictures, each of which is so profound but blurry. An indescribable towering tree, a mysterious valley full of red flowers, and a woman crying silently under the tree. A lonely, helpless mother who is scattered everywhere!

The grandparents said that the mother came to the village by accident and did not want to go out again. But they could see that their mother was thinking about the people outside all the time, but she was always warning themselves not to go out!

Leng Yang didn't know what his mother was thinking at the time, but he knew that his mother's choice had her reasons.

Now that he and his sister are about to leave here and go to the outside world, I wonder if my mother's spirit in the sky agrees. The grandparents said that young people like us should not just live in such a small village. We should go through our own lives, make our own friends, fall in love with our lovers and finally come back here.

For Leng Yue, she has only had one relative from her brother and a few old people who care for her since she was a child.

"Brother..."Leng Yue called out to her brother who was staring at the stone tablet in a daze.

Hearing his sister's call, Leng Yang's distracted gaze finally retracted, "Let's go, Grandma Xu is waiting." ”

"Hmm!" replied Leng Yue.

At the foot of this high hill, an old man with blue and white hair tied with a strip of red cloth, holding a wooden box, stood there quietly.

"Grandma, we've gone to say goodbye. Leng Yang said.

"To you. The old man handed over the wooden box and said, "This is what your mother left for you, and she told her on her deathbed that if you leave here one day, you must take it with you." ”

Leng Yang nodded, took the wooden box, opened it and saw that there were two pieces of white jade lying quietly, one with the word "no" written on it, and the word "regret" written on the other.

"This is the last thing your mother left for you. Grandma Xu said.

After listening to this, Leng Yang took out these two pieces of white jade, handed one of them to his sister's hand, looked back at the stele again, smiled cheerfully, and said, "I don't know what she did, and she won't regret it until she dies." ”

After hearing this, Grandma Xu did not answer, but said, "Go, I'll send you out." ”

"What, are you the only one who sent us? What about the grandfathers?

"You grandfathers won't come, they're so old, don't let them be stimulated like this, it's hard to let those old guys go

Can you cry in front of you?" said Grandma Xu.

"Well, we understand!" Leng Yang said.

"Follow me...", as she spoke, Grandma Xu led the two children away to one side. I came to an extremely remote place, and I couldn't get closer to the cliff section.

"Shall we climb up?" Leng Yue looked up at the cliff with no end in sight.

"Do you want to go up by the birds?" she asked again.

Grandma Xu shook her head with a smile and said, "None of the birds that flew to Huanya Village were able to fly out again..."

"That's not it, there is no reason in this world that they can only get in and not leave, if they want to, they can always go out. The old man with a sheep's beard who was gradually approaching said with a smile.

"Grandpa Gu, you're here to see us off..."Leng Yue shouted happily.

"Grandpa Gu" Leng Yang bent down slightly and nodded slightly.

"Why are you here..."Grandma Xu showed a worried look, but she hid it very well and did not let the two siblings find out.

"It's okay, I just want to send them..."Grandpa Gu said, pointing with his hand, signaling Leng Yang and Leng Yue to look in that direction.

The brother and sister followed the finger and found that there was a crack between the impregnable cliffs. The crack was not large, just the width of a person's side.

"You can get out there. Grandpa Gu touched his beard and said.

Before the brother and sister came to the cliff crevice, they were surprised that there was such a thing between the cliffs, and they were also surprised that they had never seen such a gap before. But it is also said that there should be such a thing, otherwise how would my mother get in?

"Remember, you have to be mindful when you're outside, and it's always important to save your life. But if you find something more important than your life, then cherish it. When you don't have the ability, don't be strong, don't be a hero, when you reach the ability, you must also act when you need to do something, don't be a coward, don't be a selfish villain who only cares about self-preservation! Well... A thousand words, a word, remember to come back and see..."Grandpa Gu said that he realized that he was a little chattering, and hurriedly concluded.

Leng Yue couldn't help crying after hearing this, hugging Grandpa Gu and Grandma Xu tightly.

"Yue'er, you have to listen to your brother in the future, do you know?" Grandma Xu smiled and rubbed Leng Yue's head and said, "Take care of your own ......"

Leng Yang forcibly suppressed his emotions and said slowly: "Please rest assured, grandparents, we will definitely take care of ourselves." ”

Grandpa Gu looked relaxed, touched his sheep's whiskers and said, "Yes, they are all so big, how can there be a full-fledged eagle nesting in the nest, how can there be a whistling tiger afraid of blood......? Let's go!"

As she spoke, Leng Yue came out of Grandma Xu's arms extremely reluctantly and stood next to her brother.

"Yue'er has always been a reassuring child for you, isn't it? No matter how dangerous it is outside, Yue'er will try her best to face it, no matter how tempting it is outside, Yue'er will never forget here. "On Leng Yue's poignant face, a pair of firm eyes are extremely moving...

"Grandparents, take care of your body, let's ......" Leng Yang said to the two old men.

Gu waved his hand and signaled Leng Yang not to say any more, and Leng Yang also understood what Grandpa Gu meant, so he immediately pulled his sister and bowed deeply to the old man, turned around and walked towards the cliff crevice......

When the brother and sister were about to sink into the cliff crevice, Grandpa Gu shouted again: "The last word, if you go out, there are still demon beasts in this world, don't hesitate when you should make a move!"

"Leng Yang understands!" said the two brothers, sisters, and disappeared into the darkness of the cliff.

"This kid..." Grandpa Gu was just about to say something, when he suddenly knelt on his knees, and a dark red blood stain flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Grandma Xu on the side hurriedly went over to help the old man up, and her face showed a little worry, but also a little resentment: "At such an age, what else can I do..."

"I just want to send them off, I'm not like those old guys..."Grandpa Gu stiffened his body, "If you open a slit, you have to lie down for ten days and eight days..."

The cracks were not wide, revealing a narrow ribbon of sky, and from time to time there was rubble rolling down between the split cliffs, as if a small stone could fill the gap.

At the bottom of the cliff crevice, there were no more rays of sunlight left, and a pair of brothers and sisters struggled to move sideways.

"Sister, don't be afraid, there's a brother. Leng Yang said to Leng Yue.

"Whoever is afraid, hurry up and leave yours. Leng Yue urged from behind

"No, ordinary sister, shouldn't you be quite scared at this time, hold your brother's hand tightly," Leng Yang said with a smile as he looked at his sister.

"Less nonsense, hurry up. Leng Yue pretended to be very vicious, but her eyes, which were as bright as the stars in the night, made people roll up layers of ripples, and they didn't dare to have bad intentions.

"I saw the light. Leng Yang looked ahead and said to his sister, "I'm going out soon." ”

"Hmm" Leng Yue followed her brother closely and crawled towards the bright light...

Out of the cliff, the field of vision became broader, the cold moon and the cold sun, and then I realized that the other side of the cliff was actually a forest.

"Brother..."Leng Yue quickly lowered her body.

Leng Yang took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and said, "It's okay, there is no breath of demon beasts around here, it should be the human realm." ”

After hearing this, Leng Yue relaxed, "Then where are we going now?"

"Let's wait a minute, let's not go in a hurry," Leng Yang said, looking back at the cliff crack, standing silently for a long time, suddenly knelt down and slammed his head on the ground,

"Thank you grandparents for raising my brother and sister! Ten years, ten years, we will definitely return. Outside, the teachings of your grandparents. Leng Yang remembered it in his heart, and he would never dare to forget it, so he said goodbye and took care!" Leng Yang said very slowly and gently.

When Leng Yue saw her brother's move, she also knelt down, and together, she thanked her.

"Leng Yue, let's go. ”

"Hmm!"

Standing up and patting the dirt on their bodies, the young men and girls dressed in black disappeared into the forest, and disappeared, leaving only a huge cliff, straight into the sky, boundless. And the cliff crack was actually converging and restoring at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a while, it could no longer be found, but the figures of seven old people were reflected on the complete cliff wall......
