Chapter 1: In the Spring
The season of the peanut tree.
There are more than a dozen families scattered in the valley, and the bamboo fence courtyard is hidden in the verdant and exposed corner of the eaves, which is picturesque.
Under an old elm tree outside the village stood a young man, seventeen or eighteen years old, born with phoenix eyebrows and starry eyes, and a clear face, which complemented the beautiful scenery of the grass growing and the warbler flying.
It's just that the young man's eyes didn't linger in the bright spring.
In the grass lay a shocking jujube red horse, half of its head had been grabbed by a sharp object, and its body had been dug out of a bowl-sized hole in blood.
It was his mount, and he walked hundreds of miles all the way, but he didn't expect to be attacked and killed by an unknown monster after a moment of going to the river to get water, what a ...... Troublesome......
Mo Feimo raised an eyebrow.
It's past noon, why hasn't the person who was waiting for come yet?
The bored Mo Feimo walked towards the hideous jujube red horse, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a piece of dark purple fluff from the horse's hoof.
He suddenly sensed some dangerous aura, and immediately his face changed, and his body jumped backwards at an incredible speed, jumping out of more than a dozen feet.
However, before he could see the figure of the demon beast clearly, he saw the purple light move and disappeared. He was so clever that he immediately took out a blue sword and swung it in all directions, forming a barrier with no loopholes.
There are really many strong people in the world, is it possible that today in this poor and remote place will use the means of pressing the bottom of the box?
Mo Feimo smiled bitterly, folded his hands, and the green sword flew upwards with a "buzz......
"Evil animal, run out again in broad daylight to hurt people, see if I don't smoke you to death today!"
The crisp sound like a silver bell seems to fall from the sky.
Mo Feimo's eyes flickered, but out of nowhere, a red-clothed village girl ran out, sitting on a big yellow cow, dancing a small leather whip and running over.
"Leave, there are extremely powerful monsters here!" Mo Feimo didn't care about the black lines on his head and shouted at the village girl.
"That's why I'm here to save you! Huh......" The indifferent tone of the red-clothed village girl suddenly became a thousand turns after seeing the young man's appearance clearly.
The aura of the demon beast disappeared, and Mo Feimo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Goo-dong"!
What was that? It was as if something was swallowing.
Could it be that the monster is back? Mo Fei was alert, and took the cyan long sword to flick around in the grass, but did not find anything unusual, and then walked towards the village girl.
"This girl ......"
"My name is Zhen Zhen, I am seventeen years old, and I live in the village over there." The girl in red rubbed the corners of her clothes nervously, and quickly began to introduce herself, seeing Mo Feimo coming over, trying to straighten up, holding her head high, and looking at him with her eyes blank, "What's your name?" Why come to our village? ”
Vera?
Luck is not bad, as soon as I come out, I will meet the person I am looking for.
"My name is Mo Feimo, and I was entrusted by your aunt to come to the village to pick you up."
"Mo ...... Not...... ...... Ink "Zhen Zhen lengthened her voice, repeating the boy's name, and looked at him with a sparkling gaze.
Mo Feimo was stunned by her eyes, but fortunately, he was a high-quality beautiful man who was used to seeing battles, and he still looked cold and stern on his face, and only looked at Zhen Zhen coldly.
The little girl looks quite delicate, but unfortunately there is an ugly scar on her forehead, which should be natural.
"And what about my aunt, didn't she come with you?" Zhenzhen's voice is crisp, like the first bite of a crisp peach in spring.
Mo Feimo took out a jade pendant from his waist, the whole body was emerald green, and a strange eye was engraved in the middle. It's obviously a dead thing, but it exudes a coldness that can see through the ugliness of the world.
"Auntie's stuff!" Zhen Zhen recognized the jade pendant, jumped off the back of the cow, and took the jade pendant from Mo Feimo's hand.
At the same time, the whip hanging from the horns of the bull "buzzed", as if sensing something.
"What's wrong with you?" Vera turned to remove the whip and put it to her ear, as if listening attentively to the whip. Even the big scalper "mooed" beside her several times and got no response, and finally ran away in anger.
Weird! Weird village girl, weird scalper, weird whip!
But at this point, Mo Feimo has no choice.
If he hadn't met the mysterious middle-aged woman at the night market and accepted her conditions to come here to pick up a girl named Zhen Zhen, he would not have been able to get the Enlightenment Jade of the Guiyi Sect.
"Where did my aunt go? Isn't she coming to pick me up? Zhen Zhen finally smiled and looked at Mo Feimo.
"She asked me to take you to Guiyi Sect to apprentice."
"Returning to the Sect of Apprenticeship? Are you going too? ”
He had always been taciturn, nodded slightly in affirmation, and replied lightly, "Let's go together." ”
"Together? Do you do everything together? ”
Mo Feimo's face twitched slightly, and then nodded: "All together!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big red flower blooming on the face of the little girl on the back of the cow.
My aunt was so kind to her, she actually recruited such a handsome companion for her, although it didn't seem very friendly, but Aunt Li next door said that such a man is not easy to have an affair.
Mo Feimo didn't say anything to Zhen Zhen, who was full of peach blossoms.
In the past, those girls who liked him, the timid ones just blushed when they saw him and didn't dare to speak, and the bold ones were to send pastries, love letters and sachets, with his 10,000-year-old iceberg face, no one dared to tease in front of him!
"It's not too early, let's leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the opening ceremony of the Guiyi Sect." If it weren't for Mo Feimo, who was too poor to pay enough spirit stones to buy a place to participate in the opening ceremony, he wouldn't have fallen into the situation of being a bodyguard for the village girl.
Although there are all kinds of indications, Zhen Zhen is not an ordinary village girl.
"What is the Rite of Enlightenment?" Zhenzhen's crunchy peachy voice sounded again, and she looked at Mo Feimo with a blank eye, if she had a tail, it would definitely swing from side to side with her brisk voice.
Mo Feimo felt that the end of the world had come, and he said more today than he usually said in a month: "Guiyi Sect is a sect of cultivating immortals, and they select disciples through the Guò Enlightenment Ceremony, and the jade that your aunt gave me is the voucher for participating in the Enlightenment Ceremony." ”
Zhen Zhen listened quietly, and her clear eyes reflected Mo Feimo's clean face: "Then will we become immortals in the future?" ”
"You ......" Mo Feimo looked at her eyes and paused, this girl looks quite aura, but she has no cultivation, she should not be able to pass the test of the Guò sect's spiritual opening ceremony, but he didn't know what evil he bumped into today, so he actually asked more, "Zhen Zhen, why does your aunt want you to cultivate immortals?" ”
Although the path of immortality is good, I don't know how many years of loneliness I have to endure, how many times I have to go through the torment, my mother said on her deathbed that she wants him to be a mortal, if it is not for the hatred that cannot be let go, Mo Feimo is still willing to be a mortal.
The Enlightenment Ceremony alone kills countless mortals every year.
Isn't it good for a girl like Zhen Zhen to be a simple village girl?
Zhen Zhen raised her honest face and covered the scar on her forehead with her hands, "I was sick, my aunt went to the mountains to find medicine, she said that she would definitely find a way to cure me, and when he was cured, I would be the most beautiful girl in the world." Maybe I go to cultivate immortals and find a panacea to cure my illness. ”
Her little face was flushed, and her two hands were tightly covering her forehead, Mo Feimo felt that if it weren't for that scar, Zhen Zhen was indeed a good-looking girl.
The opening ceremony is not something that anyone who wants to participate in can participate, all major sects have a limited number of places, and will send messengers to find young people with spiritual roots in the mortal world, and send jade to invite them to go up the mountain to participate in the opening ceremony.
Mo Feimo is going to the Guiyi Sect, which has repeatedly been at the bottom of the sect competition in recent years, so it is stipulated that anyone can buy a place as long as they pay enough spirit stones.
Zhen Zhen's aunt can buy two places at such a large price, she should be very confident that she can cure her illness.
"Let's go......" Mo Feimo didn't finish his words, and saw the girl in red running towards the village with a smoke.
Just as he was stunned, there was a tinkling sound in his ears.
"I've packed my things, I'll go quickly, when I'm cured and then go back to the village, my aunt will be very happy!" Zhen Zhen's face flushed, and she threw the burden on the ground with a "bang", revealing the pots and pans inside.
Mo Feimo held back his questioning, supported his forehead, and adjusted the expression on his face, "I don't know when I will be able to come back this time, have you packed your luggage?" ”
Zhen Zhen hesitated for a moment, and pointed to the big scalper behind her, "Ah Huang has been following me for a long time, why don't we ride it to Guiyizong?" ”
"No way!" Mo Feimo refused.
Although the Guiyi Sect has declined, it is still a major sect in the Qianyuan Continent, and many children of the big families will go to participate in the spiritual ceremony, although he is not vain enough to sit on the flying spirit weapon in the scholar's house, and he does not want to ride a scalper into the mountain gate like a hillbilly.
Zhen Zhen touched the horns of the big yellow cow with tears in her eyes, "Ah Huang, you have to eat grass obediently when I am not there." When my aunt came back, I told her to come back to the sect to find me. ”
The big yellow cow mooed in response, seemingly reluctant.
"Let's go." Mo Feimo took the lead in walking out with a cold face. Therefore, he did not see a purple shadow silently burrowing into Zhen Zhen's sleeve.
Zhen Zhen clenched her sleeves, let out a deep breath, and quickly chased after the package on her back.
"The jade given by your aunt just hired me to pick you up, and you have to pay for the food and lodging expenses along the way."
"Can I choose to make a personal promise?"
“……”
"Don't stare at me, I'll listen to you."
"From this day forward, you will listen to my commandments, and I will let you go east, and you shall not go west."
"Can I go south and north then?"
“……”
"Don't stare at me, I'll listen to you."
"And, most importantly, you can keep an eye on me, but you can't swallow while looking at me!"
"It's not something I can control, whoever told you to look delicious!"
“……”
"Don't stare at me, I'll listen to you."
