It was a clear morning, the warm sun shining through the dark leaves on the land, and everything was so peaceful.

On the edge of the Great Wilderness Mountain, a mountain range full of black iron trees is called Black Wind Ridge.

In the distance, there are a few small black wooden houses on the hillside in the middle of this barren area, and there are faint signs of human activity.

In this barren area, only some hunters and cultivators looking for materials will come to the place, and the time to come will be very short, because the spiritual power here is very poor, only these trees that are as hard as iron need to be used when the great family needs to build, will there be people in the edge of the place to cut down some black iron wood back, but only in the edge of the area.

At this time, in front of the largest wooden house, surrounded by four thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, two of whom were very anxious, and two of them were sitting next to the big rock in front of the wooden house, and there was a faint look of anxiety on their faces.

"Alas, is Xuan Yu in trouble again?" said a little fat man anxiously.

"Isn't it that it hasn't come out yet? A young man with inky eyes said, but he couldn't hide the anxiety in his eyes......

Inside the wooden house, an emaciated young man stood in front of an old man in a red and black cloak, whose face had been covered by the cloak he had grown.

The old man's name is Shen Lao, everyone calls him like this, no one knows his name, standing in front of him is a thirteen-year-old boy named Xuan Yu, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his emaciated body has not erased his extraordinary temperament.

These wooden houses are inhabited by a mysterious old man and five teenagers.

The five teenagers have not had their parents by their side since they were children, except for Xuan Yu, the other four are all called Shen Lao's father-in-law, they have been trained by Shen Lao since they were children, and it has been eight years now, and Shen Lao is more like a master to them.

But he will always be the most strict with Xuan Yu.

Because during this period of time, Shen Laojiao exercised their bodies, and those who disobeyed would be severely punished, so they laid a solid foundation for cultivation, and often found a bunch of ancient books to teach them to distinguish fonts and practice.

The clever and emaciated green-eyed young man is called Qingmo, the little fat man is called Huang Ting, the cold expression is called Dark Thorn, and there is a sturdy man named Liu Qing.

Qingmo, Huang Ting, and Assassin were originally abandoned babies in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and they were discarded when they were young, but the demon beasts in the mountains did not harm them, but miraculously fed them for a few years.

It was also a chance that Xuan Yu saw them and wanted them to take them back to the wooden house, and Shen Lao also agreed.

Later, they grew up together, and Xuan Yu always regarded them as brothers, so the relationship has been particularly good since he can remember.

Among several teenagers, Xuan Yu has the most ghost ideas, so he became the boss, and often violated Shen Lao's rules and took everyone to be punished together, but everyone was very happy, although he was still very young, but he often drank and talked happily, and the young man in the martial arts world performed the blood to the fullest, and he also met together to break into the continent.

Now that they have grown up and the time has been long, they naturally realize the benefits they have obtained, except for Xuan Yu, who is unable to cultivate, since the other people opened the Qi Mansion at the age of ten, they have all entered the Sixth Strength Inner Realm of the Day After Tomorrow in this area where the spiritual energy is poor, so everyone has great respect for Shen Lao.

Early this morning, Shen Lao suddenly called Xuan Yu to the house, and everyone felt a little strange, because usually Shen Lao didn't let people get close to his house, only he came out to find Xuan Yu and them.

Shen Lao sat in a chair made of black iron and wood, and there were some wine jars on the table next to it and on the ground.

As if knowing Xuan Yu's arrival, he suddenly stood up, walked in front of Xuan Yu, took out a jade pendant, and handed it to Xuan Yu.

The whole process made Xuan Yu's heartbeat suddenly beat, thinking that he was going to be punished again.

"It's yours, take it!" But then there was no familiar scene before, but Shen Lao made a familiar vicissitudes of life.

Xuan Yu was a little puzzled, but he still took the jade pendant, the turquoise jade pendant had a hint of warmth on it, and he just wanted to ask.

Shen Lao said again, "You go out and say goodbye to them, I'll take you and Liu Qing to a place in a while, haven't you always wanted to know why you can't cultivate, and the situation with your parents? ”

Shen Lao's voice was majestic and a little sad, Xuan Yu knew that he had no chance to ask, squeaked, and could only slowly walk out of the door of the wooden house and close the door gently.

"What's wrong with the boss, you're causing trouble again?" The little fat man saw Xuan Yu come out, stepped forward and asked, and the eyes of the others were also staring at him with a vague horror.

"Poof, why are you looking at me like this, I'm not causing trouble, okay?" Xuan Yu smiled, these people must have thought that they had caused trouble and caused them to be punished together.

"That's okay!" the fat man breathed a sigh of relief, because Shen Lao's punishment was too terrifying, and they felt scared when they thought about it.

Xuan Yu's face was a little heavy after laughing.

"What's the matter? Qingmo asked if she felt that something was wrong.

"Liu Qing and I may be leaving, my parents shouldn't be dead yet, I'm going to find them. Xuan Yu looked away and said.

"Why you and Liu Qing, we can be together. We'll all help you. The fat man said a little nervously.

Although Xuan Yu had also talked to them about this issue before, and Xuan Yu also went to ask Shen Lao, but he didn't get a positive answer.

"You can't enter that place, that's what I told you before, the people on this continent have been banned, I can't even enter, only the two of them can enter, and what can you do with this strength. Shen Lao said that he had already appeared outside the house at some point.

Hearing the ban, the fat man already knew what was going on. "Then didn't you let them in to send them to death?" said the fat man, looking at Shen Lao's back.

"Fatty, Elder Shen must have a reason for letting us in, you cultivate well, don't cultivate a lot higher than you when I come back, and I won't clean you up at that time. Xuan Yu put his hand on the fat man's round shoulders and said.

"You and I will make other arrangements, the two of them will come back in a year at most, and they won't die. Shen Lao explained it rarely.

The fat man seemed to want to say something, but held back.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go, don't forget the Shenzhou qualifying race in four years, when you see me take the first place. Qingmo saw that his father-in-law had decided, and things did not turn around, and said.

"Can you still take the first place with your hammer?" asked the fat man, "the first must be mine." ”

The two of them have not dealt with each other since they were children, and they have been looking for each other to provoke trouble.

"You little fat man, you will be the first to fight when you eat, you might as well forget it. Qingmo continued.

Then fell into a war of words, and the people on the side of the gang seemed to have gotten used to it, and at this time, Dark Thorn and Liu Qing came over.

There is a scar on the face of the dark thorn, which looks particularly hideous. I heard that it was scraped by the wolf in the forest at the beginning, but he was only three years old and did not make a sound, and finally shocked the demon wolf, and only raised the three of them for more than a year.

"Be careful, we'll be waiting for you in qualifying, and we'll help you save your parents when the time comes. Dark Thorn looked at Liu Qing and Xuan Yu and said.

The dark thorn is like this, which looks cold on the surface, but it is very warm inside, and it talks less and does more.

Xuan Yu stepped forward and gave the dark thorn a hug.

"You too, remember that we will always be brothers. Xuan Yu's eyes were red, and he held back tears.

This is the teenager, although he is still young but he is already full of enthusiasm, and they all know in their hearts that this parting, seeing each other again will definitely go through a lot of ups and downs.

At this time, Huang Ting and Qingmo had also stopped, and also came up to give Xuan Yu and Liu Qing a hug, although Liu Qing didn't like to talk, but he was the most obedient among them, and he was like an older brother.

"It's time to go, I'll take the two of you away first, and then I'll come back to arrange for the three of them. Shen Lao said to Xuan Yu.

At this moment, Shen Lao stretched out two wrinkled fingers in front of his mouth and recited a string of incantations, and suddenly the red light flashed, and the calm hillside suddenly shook violently, and the clear sky above suddenly became dark, and a spatial crack appeared.

At this time, the young Xuanyu's face was less childish and more mature, and after saying goodbye, he walked to Shen Lao's side with Liu Qing.

"I'll protect him. At this time, Liu Qing said a word to the three people behind him.

I don't know when Xuan Yu became their core, and Xuan Yu couldn't cultivate, so he was always protected, especially Liu Qing, who basically followed Xuan Yu inseparably.

"Whoosh!"

The three teenagers smiled slightly, watching their brother and stepfather disappear in front of them, and then the cracks in the sky also disappeared, and the Black Wind Ridge returned to calm.

Xuan Yu and Liu Qing were taken by Shen Lao and flew into a chaotic gray passage, which was full of hurricanes and lightning, if it weren't for Shen Lao's protection, Xuan Yu believed that he would turn into flying ashes in an instant.

"This place was asked by your father to send you in, I don't know what dangers there are, your father is a very great person, I am one of the eighteen generals under your father, my name is Shen Tu, I should have called you young master, but your father thinks you can't be a flower in a greenhouse, we all respect him very much, so we won't disobey his wishes, the jade pendant was left by your mother, your father should have a clue on that jade pendant, you go to find it yourself, I don't know when you will grow up after you go in, but you have the will of the emperor, even if you die in battle, you must not be subservientDon't awaken your soul until you find your father, and you'll have to find it yourself. Shen Lao said to Xuan Yu with a voice transmission.

The first time Xuan Yu heard this kind of transmission, his heart was a little fluctuating, but he was soon covered up by the content of the transmission, for a teenager who had already deduced his life experience thousands of times, this amount of information was still a bit large, and he quickly sorted out the context of the matter in his heart.

At this time, Xuan Yu had more new questions in his heart and wanted to know the answers.

After hearing these voices, he finally looked up to see Shen Lao's face clearly, but only saw a vague shadow, and then he lost consciousness until he woke up in a wood.
