Chapter 5: Lingyuan Valley
Li Chen followed his master and brother into the sky, although he seemed to be only three years old on the surface, in fact, his mind was much more mature than that of children of the same age.
He watched himself gradually fly farther and farther, and his father's figure gradually blurred, looking at the valley where he was born from afar, he clearly saw the reluctance in his father's eyes, and a kind of sourness arose in his heart.
Kuishan gradually faded out of his sight, and he looked at the master and senior brother next to him, they all turned their backs to him, and the three of them were speechless.
Tie Zhongjian spoke first: "Little junior brother, my name is Tie Zhongjian, I am your senior brother, you can tell me if you have any difficulties in the future, you will follow the master at a young age, and we will take good care of you." He smiled innocently.
Although he said this, he clearly remembered the terrifying scene when this little junior brother was born, and his own palpitating coercion.
Li Chen hurriedly said: "Thank you to my senior brother in advance, you will be my senior brother and my brother in the future, and if you don't understand anything in the future, you will have to ask my senior brother for advice." ”
Tie Zhongjian said again: "You still have two senior brothers, the second senior brother is Wang Shixiong, he was once the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and he came out of exile and was accepted as an apprentice by the master; ”
The four major demon clans of Kuishan are the green cow, the white elephant, the golden-winged Dapeng and the ice wolf, although the four demon clans have friction from time to time, but they are basically friendly, and there has been no major struggle in the past few years.
The Lingyuan Valley of the Lingyuan Immortals is independent of these forces, and never participates in the battles of these parties, and the Lingyuan Valley of the Lingyuan Immortals is located in the depths of Kuishan Mountain, which is a pure land and a place where spiritual energy gathers.
Originally belonging to the jurisdiction of the Qingniu clan, Lingyuan came here a few years ago, and later the land of Lingyuan Valley also had a dispute with the patriarch of the Qingniu clan, Niu Yibiao.
Later, because of Lingyuan's high mana, Niu Yibiao lost to him, and it was because he didn't fight or make a deal, and the friendship between the two became deeper, and later the Niu patriarch directly let his son worship Lingyuan as a teacher, that is, Lingyuan's third disciple Niu Mu.
Shangxian also spoke: "Li Chen, as my fourth disciple, you are also my closed disciple, and the four of you are my apprentices, and you must be like brothers." ”
Tie Zhongjian and Li Chen both hurriedly said, "Follow Master's teachings." Lingyuan looked into the distance and stopped talking, and the three of them were silent all the way to Lingyuan Valley.
After flying for about an hour, a secluded valley appeared in the endless mountains, and Tie Zhongjian turned around and said, "Little junior brother, there is Lingyuan Valley in front. Li Chen looked at it from afar, this valley hidden in the mountains looked inconspicuous from afar, but it was extremely quiet.
After approaching, he found the mystery, in the early spring, the vegetation is only spitting out green shoots, and most places are still barren, but at this time, the Lingyuan Valley has already bloomed red and willow green, and the flowers are blooming purple and red.
After they landed, Li Chen felt that the aura of this place was strong, although he had just arrived, he felt refreshed when he was surrounded by this aura, and his limbs and hundreds of bones were slowly baptized.
There is a beautiful peach blossom planted at the door, this peach blossom is not like an ordinary peach blossom, exuding bursts of floral fragrance, and the fragrance of flowers is also mixed with this burst of aura.
Sure enough, it is a blessed land, no wonder Lingyuan Shangxian will choose to build his own mansion here, slowly walk to the depths, and what catches his eye is a thatched house, and there is a plaque hanging on the thatched house, which reads three words: Lingyuan Zhai.
Ling Yuan approached the door and opened automatically, the light in the door turned on as soon as it turned on, and there was a straw mat on the top of the house, and there were two rows of meadows on both sides, and nothing else.
Ling Yuan sat down cross-legged at the top, and then the two brothers also sat cross-legged on both sides, and Ling Yuan said, "Go and call Shixiong and Niu Mu." ”
Tie Zhongjian listened, and hurriedly said, "Obey." He got up and went out. Ling Yuan looked at Li Chen and said, "Since you worship me as a teacher, I will definitely do my best to teach you, and I will take you to meet a few other senior brothers today, and I will definitely devote myself to cultivation in the future." After hearing this, Li Chen hurriedly got up and said, "I will definitely cultivate seriously and follow the master's teachings." ”
After a while, Iron Backbone and the others returned. The first to come in was Wang Shixiong.
He was far from being as tall as the iron backbone, his long dark hair was untied and untied over his shoulders, there was a faint black shadow under his slightly drooping eyelashes, and his cheekbones were a little high and abrupt, which made his whole face even more skinny and bony.
In particular, the dull-skinned hands were a little dry and thin, like almost withered branches, which made people unbearable. Dressed in white, he looked a little loose on his thin body, and he looked rather like a weak scholar than a cultivator.
He glanced at Li Chen lightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he went to sit cross-legged on the straw mat on the left.
After a while, he heard the voice of someone talking in the distance: "This little junior brother is also from the human race...... How could he be brought by the master as soon as he was born, and he was pregnant for three years......? The master is not an ordinary person, I can meet this little junior brother......"
Li Chen, who was far away, heard a strong voice chattering outside.
The footsteps slowly approached, Li Chen saw its third senior brother Niu Mu, as soon as he came in, he looked at Li Chen, and said: "You are the little junior brother, I heard that your name is Li Chen, my name is Niu Mu, you are your third senior brother, you will have multiple companions in the future, you should not be as boring as the senior brother and the second senior brother, we should talk more, I am more ......"
He was about to go on, when Ling Yuan spoke: "Come and sit down." Niu Mu hurriedly stopped his cannon-like words, and sat obediently behind Wang Shixiong, and Tie Zhongjian also hurriedly sat behind Li Chen.
At this time, Li Chen noticed Niu Mu sitting on the side, he didn't seem to be very old, with a strong body, bulging chest muscles, big shoulders and a round waist, like a strong bull.
With a round face, well-defined facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and two small horns on his head, he should not have fully cultivated his human nature.
When Li Chen was looking at him, he also looked at Li Chen, and smiled at him honestly, Li Chen felt in his heart that this senior brother should be the best among the several senior brothers.
After everyone sat down, Ling Yuan spoke: "I called you all here today, first of all, to let you know my junior brother Li Chen, and the other is to tell you that I will not accept any more apprentices from now on, Li Chen will be my last apprentice, you senior brothers must help each other, and there are the rules of cultivation." ”
At this time, he looked at Li Chen and said: "I will reiterate the rules of cultivation when you just came, in the future, you will get up at midnight to practice, you must not be lazy, and you will retreat and practice for the last ten days at the end of each month. With that, he left.
Niu Mu on the side hurried over and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, the master is like this, he never procrastinates after he finishes speaking, you have to get used to it." ”
Tie Zhongjian on the side smiled and said nothing, while Wang Shixiong, who was in the corner, left the room directly.
Niu Mu looked at Wang Shixiong's back, sighed lightly, and said: "The third child has a sad background, so his personality is relatively withdrawn, and he rarely talks to us, he spends most of his time practicing, just for revenge in the future." Little junior brother, I'll take you directly to the side room, rest early, and talk about other things later. ”
Tie Zhongjian also said: "It just so happens that the two rooms of you are relatively close to each other, so you can go with him, and I will go back too." Niu Mu took Li Chen's hand and walked outside, and Tie Zhongjian also returned to the side room on his right.
This is what Li Chen noticed that in the middle of these thatched huts is the main room where the master lives, and there are two partial rooms on each side, on the left side are the senior brother Tie Zhongjian and the second brother Wang Shixiong, and on the right side of the two rooms one is the third senior brother Niu Mu and the other is his own.
Niu Mu sent him all the way to his room, only to see that his room was small, with a wooden table in the middle and a few wooden chairs next to it, and a bed on the right side of the house, and a bed on the bed.
Niu Mu said: "Little junior brother, life in the valley is relatively simple, if you can't stand it, I will take you to our clan to eat delicious food, and I will wake you up tomorrow morning." After saying that, he was about to go out, Li Chen hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior brother, then you should rest early." ”
Niu Mu said as he walked: "Don't be polite to me, you can rest early." ”
Li Chen was lying on the bed, thinking about everything today, from coming to this world, and then to Lingyuan Valley, seeing his parents, and seeing his senior brother and master.
He doesn't seem to be a stranger to this world, as if he has experienced many springs and autumns, although he is only a three-year-old child outside, but he is not just a three-year-old child, maybe there is energy in his small body that shocks the world.
