Rong Tianhan raised a trace of curiosity for the first time. "Then why did you enter the Xuantian Gate?"

Li Xingchen rolled over, lay on his back beside Rong Tianhan, and began to talk eloquently.

"I was originally a mortal, with a father, a mother, a brother and a sister, and although the family life was simple and ordinary, it was happy enough. My father farms, and my mother weaves. My younger siblings are still young, and my parents are too busy to take care of them. Sometimes children are naughty, eager to spank their butts, and sometimes they are very well-behaved, calling their brothers, and the hearts of sweet people melt. ”

Li Xingchen smiled slightly, but his smile was full of bitterness. "I knew I would never see them again, and I said I wouldn't beat them. Isn't it just a few pieces of sugar? My brother bought you ...... food," he covered his eyes with his arm, trying to push back the tears.

"To this day, I don't know why that man killed our family. My father and mother have been honest and loyal all her life, and she has never even had a red face, how could she have such a deep grudge with the monk? His mind drifted back to the bloody night at the end.

The moon was so round and bright on this day, no one would have thought that an ugly crime would be carried out unabashedly in such a clear moonlight. Lijia Village is a small village, and the villagers rest at sunrise and sunset, and so does Li Xingchen's family.

Father Li picked up firewood and trapped pheasants from the mountains, and planned to open a meat meal for his three children and daughter-in-law to replenish nutrition. After all, when the eldest son Xingchen grew up, he was yellow and thin every day for others to see, and he thought that he was abusing his children. Li also plucked vegetables from the yard and washed them, plucked the chickens and stewed them in a crockpot.

Li Xingchen is not very old, but he is also famous in Lijia Village, after all, there is no such handsome young man in ten miles and eight towns, and he goes out to give him fruit sachets from countless shy daughters. Others are envious and jealous to discuss how the Li couple gave birth to a son as good as Li Xingchen, who is smart and diligent, and maybe he can participate in the imperial examination in the future, and take the entire Li family village to ascend to heaven!

Li Xingchen helped his mother bring the crockpot with chicken soup to the table, and went out to call his younger siblings to come back for dinner. The two children pricked up their ears to hear their brother's cry and crawled out of the mud and trotted home. Li Xingchen saw that his younger siblings had mud on their faces and hands, shook his head helplessly, squatted down and wiped his palms with a damp cloth before calling them to the dinner table.

"Brother, brother, it's so fragrant~ What are you eating today?" My sister said in a milky voice.

"Brother, brother, it's chicken soup, right? I want to drink it~" My brother stretched out his hand and asked for soup.

"Wait!" Li Xingchen glared at his younger brother and slapped his hand away, "What was just served, aren't you afraid of hot hands?" Also, when my father and mother come, we can eat, do you know? ”

"Hmm!" The two little dolls nodded at the same time.

"Brother went to get chopsticks, don't touch the jar, be careful of burning your hands." Li Xingchen explained again, but he was still not very relieved and ran to the kitchen to get chopsticks.

When he came back, he saw the two dolls obediently holding their hands behind their backs, motionless, and he couldn't help but smile with relief. "The little fools have grown up and know to listen to their brother."

Daddy Li and Li also finished their work and came into the house, and the family sat around the table, which was very lively. Husband and wife are affectionate, father and son are filial, brothers and friends are respectful, and everyone sandwiches a few pieces of delicious chicken for each other.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Li Xingchen swallowed a big mouthful of chicken and exclaimed, "Mother's craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”

Li Shi just raised a smile, and suddenly became stern again, "It seems that there is a strong wind outside, and the crops in the field will be fine, right?" ”

Daddy Li put down his chopsticks and observed for a while, and said, "As long as there is no hail." ”

"No," Li Xingchen comforted his father, "it should just rain and water the ground." ”

Before the words fell, suddenly there was a scream outside, the voice was extremely poignant, as if someone was cutting flesh and bones and taking souls for life.

My sister was scared and cried at once, and tears flowed down her red cheeks.

"Don't cry, don't cry......" Li Xingchen hugged his sister and patted his back to comfort him.

The cry of the sister here did not stop, and there was a loud bang, and the roof collapsed and smashed into the family in front of her.

"Daddy! Mother! Li Xingchen shouted, only to see his father push his mother and younger brother out, and the whole person was instantly covered by mud and stones.

Li Xingchen picked up his mother and younger brother. "Mother! Wake up, Daddy—" He was about to dig up the stone when a fire burst out of the ruins and burned his hair.

He forced himself to whimper, hugged his mother and younger siblings, and planned to leave the house first to prevent it from collapsing. But it was not what he wanted, and the younger brother screamed, his legs and feet straightened, his eyes rolled, and a fire spat out of his mouth, and then the whole person burned into a ball of fire.

Li Xingchen was caught off guard and burned his hands, and subconsciously threw his younger brother to the ground. "No, no, no......" He took off his clothes and tried to extinguish the flames. But the flames burned bigger and bigger, until his mother and sister also spontaneously ignited inexplicably, and he finally couldn't bear it and fell to his knees, tears flowed all over his face instantly, but he couldn't cry out of his throat.

"Mother-little sister-" He ignored it, picked up his sister with his bare hands, and tried to extinguish the fire on his sister with himself. "Please, don't die, don't ......"

"It's useless."

A force swept Li Xingchen out and separated him from his sister who was burned to ashes. He looked up in a daze and saw a man in a Taoist robe standing on a sword out of thin air, condescending and contemptuous of him.

"Immortals, immortals......" Li Xingchen's eyes were glazed, and he knelt and kowtowed to the monk, "Please, save them, please!" Please! ”

"They can't be saved, they're dead." The monk's expression was indifferent. "Someone has set up a magic circle in Lijia Village, and none of you can escape. In the early years, I inherited the kindness of the villagers of Lijia Village, and today I have come to end this fate. Since you are the only one alive, I will save you alone. ”

"You lied to me! It's not true, it's all a dream! It's all a dream! Li Xingchen shouted hysterically, "Aren't you an immortal?" Save them! Pull their spirits back! ”

"You calm down," the monk's affection was not affected by the sea of fire in front of him in the slightest, and he calmly persuaded Li Xingchen, "I'm leaving soon, you will still die if you are left alone." I can give you some money to take you to a safe place. ”

Li Xingchen gasped for breath, his eyes widened, and his jet-black pupils seemed to have forgotten how to turn. "You know who killed them, don't you? You've beaten them, haven't you? I don't want this life, I want you to kill them to avenge my family! ”

The monk frowned: "I am qualified to save you, you are not qualified to order me what to do." I know who destroyed Lijia Village, but I have no reason to avenge you. If you don't want to live and want to die with your family, then it's better to die. As he spoke, he stepped lightly on his sword and was about to fly away.

"Immortal-" Li Xingchen was anxious and pounced forward. "Since the immortals refuse to avenge me, then I want to avenge myself, beg the immortals to accept me as an apprentice, and beg the immortals to accept me as an apprentice!!"

The monk was silent for a moment and replied, "If I want to take you as a disciple, it's not impossible, but those who cultivate the truth must have spiritual roots. ”

A glimmer of hope rose in Li Xingchen's eyes: "Then the immortal sees if I have a spiritual root?" ”

The monk looked him up and down for a moment, then lowered and put his hand on his forehead. Li Xingchen felt a strange force surging into his limbs, and then retreated like a tide.

He stared at the monk's face, not letting go of a single expression.

The monk nodded slowly: "Yes, yes, but ......" but it doesn't seem to be a good spiritual root, let alone a single or double spiritual root. He is an elder of Xuantian Sect, how can he casually accept a disciple who is not a good person? Forget it, it's better to leave him at the outer door and leave it to fate. If the talent is still good, he can stand out in the outer door, and then he will be included in his own door when the time comes. If the talent is not good, the outer door is enough for him to eat and live, and it will not be a problem to support him for a lifetime.

The monk made up his mind and said, "Very well, I will bring you to my door." ”

The flames in Li Xingchen's eyes flashed, and he knelt on the ground respectfully: "Xie Immortal is complete!" ”

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Li Xingchen is already a Jindan monk, drifting on the river paper with Rong Tianhan in the gentle and quiet night.

Li Xingchen finished talking about the long past and sighed softly. "I don't know what year and month I can find the enemy and take revenge."

Starlight covered Rong Tianhan's hair with a layer of noble mist, he raised his hand and covered Li Xingchen's eyes, and actually comforted: "There will be a day." ”

Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and a heartfelt smile bloomed: "Thank you, senior." ”

The stars follow the plains and fields, and the moon swells and the rivers flow.

In such a vast plain, a river 100 zhang wide seems to flow slowly. There were only one boat or two people on the entire river. After a few days and nights of being alone at close range, Li Xingchen sensitively noticed that Rong Tianhan was gradually relaxing, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes occasionally exuded a lazy and leisurely atmosphere, diluting his seemingly innate nobility and coldness.

"Senior, go past the previous section of Jiuqu Bay, and we will arrive at our destination." Li Xingchen bent into the cabin and said to Rong Tianhan.

"Hmm."

Li Xingchen was accustomed to Rong Tian's cold reaction, and continued, "The uncle who sold us the ship said that there is a difficulty in the boat ahead, what do you think we should do?" ”

"It's up to you." Rong Tianhan handed over all the decisions of everything to Li Xingchen.

Li Xingchen smiled: "The fisherman finds it difficult to get through, but Xingchen thinks that Xingchen can still make the boat pass safely." And this section of the water is turbulent, maybe you can reach it in a day. ”

Rong Tianhan closed his eyes and nodded: "I have already sensed the Spirit Mansion. There are quite a few people who came early. ”

"Yes......" Li Xingchen was not in a hurry, he was very relaxed, "It's useless to come so early, when should the Spirit Mansion be opened or when should it be opened, they are so anxious, can they grab a front row or be burned by the fire?" ”

As soon as Rong Tianhan's long eyelashes moved, Li Xingchen knew that what he said was very pleasing to Rong Tianhan.

"You don't have to be in a hurry to laugh at them, there is no shortage of Jindan monks in this group. You don't necessarily have an advantage head-to-head. Although Rong Tianhan smiled slightly at Li Xingchen's words, he still beat him.

"I know, senior. There are so many of them, they are very red when they meet on a narrow road, and if they don't agree with each other, maybe they will fight, don't we have a lot of opponents in vain? ”

"That's not a decent idea." Rong Tianhan was slightly surprised, he would have such a dishonest and evil thought.

"Hey, senior, you've wronged me. I'm just giving a reasonable guess based on the reality of the situation. As for whether they will do this, I have nothing to do with it. There are fewer people, and the rest are powerful people, and I won't take advantage of anything. Speaking of which, it's all them who are unlucky, and the odds of whether I can get the spirit treasure or not are not bad. "Li Xingchen is the Tao, and he is reasonable.

Rong Tianhan snorted lightly: "Speaking of which, it's all your reason." ”

Li Xingchen approached him, grabbed the corner of his sleeve and shook it while saying, "Senior, Xingchen's reason is you." Ask Xingchen to come alone, let alone rob the spirit treasure, if you don't get the spirit mansion, you have to say otherwise, and when you meet a female devil on the way, she will fold it in her hand, so can she still save her life? ”

Rong Tianhan didn't move: "I said a long time ago, it's not that you can't fight that person with your strength." They all think you're a foundation building monk, and you know where you've cultivated. Now, all you lack is experience. ”

Li Xingchen bent his round black eyes: "Senior, then you teach Xingchen some experience, right?" ”

Rong Tianhan slapped his dog paws away and said softly: "You have to comprehend the experience yourself, how can others teach it?" ”

Li Xingchen lay down on the deck and began to roll around and play with Laipi, humming and chirping, not knowing what he was muttering.

"Click." Suddenly, there was a clear sound from the bottom of the boat. Li Xingchen turned over and sat up neatly: "Senior, it seems that you have arrived in a place with many reefs." You sit back and I'll go out and have a look. ”

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have changed his appearance, from a coquettish teenager to a reliable young man.

Those stupid looks are only in front of Rong Tianhan and make him happy. And only Rong Tianhan can make him change his alienated temperament and take care of Rong Tianhan wholeheartedly. Even if his spiritual power is so much less than Rong Tianhan's, as long as it is something he can do, he will definitely spare no effort.

Rong Tianhan looked at Li Xingchen's back as he opened the blue curtain, and his mind was rarely distracted. With such a good talent and such a good temperament, it's hard to be tempted. He lowered his eyes, raised his hand, and gently covered the thumping of his heart on his left chest, his long eyelashes like a fluttering butterfly.
