Chapter Twenty-Six: A Visit from the Deceased
More than a month has passed since the day of Xiao Chuan's apprenticeship, and during this period, Liang Tiance did not really teach Xiao Chuan anything about cultivation, he just told Xiao Chuan to follow his little senior brother, that is, to climb up and down on Cuiwei Mountain, to be familiar with the environment, and by the way, to harvest some prey every day to open meat for his old man.
Could it be that this old man saw that my talent was not good, so after accepting me, he asked me to learn to be a hunter with my little senior brother? Xiao Chuan secretly speculated about his master's intentions, and was a little dissatisfied with Liang Tiance's current arrangement, he went up the mountain every day to collect medicine and go down the mountain to hunt, when will he be able to officially cultivate?
"Little brother, do you usually only collect medicine and hunt in the mountains?" This day, the two senior brothers came out to collect medicine again, and Xiao Chuan felt tired of doing it, so he chatted with Meng Meng.
After Xiao Chuan and Meng Meng came into contact for a while, he felt that although he was not good at words, he was straightforward and cute, without any shelf and crooked thoughts, and even more terrifying, he made up his mind to hug this senior brother's thighs and mix with him in the future. And Meng Meng has always been silent before, but Xiao Chuan's lively true temperament makes him like it very much, and he talks more and more with Xiao Chuan, and his silent and ungood speech temperament is also subtly changing.
"Before you came, I would practice with the second senior sister on weekdays, and I only came occasionally to hunt and collect medicine. Meng Meng replied truthfully.
Dare to love the little brother or accompany me to do these things? Xiaochuan was a little embarrassed. So he quickly diverted the topic, "Little Senior Brother, I saw that you were on par with my mother that day, what realm are you in now?"
"Actually, I don't really understand, I just heard from Senior Brother that it's the late stage of Xuanming. Scratching his head violently, he usually just buried his head in penance, and for his own stage, maybe a few senior brothers and sisters in the First Pavilion knew better than him.
"That's the same realm as my mother...... "So how old are you now, senior brother?"
"According to the senior brother, it should be sixteen years old. Meng Meng said.
"Ten or sixteen years old, in his previous life, he was just a middle school student, and the little senior brother was already about to break through the spiritual ascension realm......" Xiao Chuan was dumbfounded.
"Little Senior Brother, how do you usually cultivate, and you have reached such a high level at such a young age!" Xiao Chuan was convinced from the bottom of his heart.
"Kill a lot. He raised his head violently, looked in the direction of the Xinghai Grassland under the mountain, and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Chuan knew that he had said the wrong thing, which reminded his senior brother of his bloody life in the grassland, and he regretted it a little. However, Meng Meng suddenly turned his head and smiled at Xiao Chuan, and said, "Senior brother, I think when you are sixteen years old, you must be stronger than me now." ”
Xiao Chuan was surprised at this time, the little senior brother has always been silent in the pavilion, and he has never slapped his beard, why did he suddenly say such encouraging words today?
"Senior brother, don't make fun of me, a person with only one spiritual vein, it would be a miracle if I could reach your current height in my life" Xiao Chuan laughed self-deprecatingly.
"The spiritual vein is important, but I think you seem to have a very strong power in your body, and it will definitely be very strong in the future. Meng Meng said with a serious face.
I have a very strong strength in my body? Xiao Chuan looked at himself in some surprise when he heard this, except for the fact that his body was strong and well-proportioned, he didn't find anything, and in front of his junior brother, this little muscle was not worth mentioning at all.
He thought that the little senior brother was comforting him, and suddenly said with a hippie smile: "Since the little senior brother said so, then borrow your auspicious words." But if I don't become stronger in the future, you will have to protect me, senior brother. ”
"Good. Meng Meng said calmly, but the feeling to Xiao Chuan was so unquestionable, as if he was a general who had fought a hundred battles and accepted orders.
Xiao Chuan was worried that his senior brother would take the joke seriously, so he hurriedly continued to put aside the topic, "Senior brother, we are almost done with the medicine today, or go back?"
Meng Meng glanced at the herbs in the basket of the two, and felt that they had picked about the same, so he nodded, and the two walked back.
The two of them returned to the first pavilion along the winding mountain road one after the other, but found that there was no one in the pavilion. "Why is there no one?Didn't I hear that the senior brother and sister are going out with the master today?" Xiao Chuan asked Meng Meng with some confusion.
"It's all there. He raised his hand violently and pointed in the direction of Donghua Building. "Like, one more person, a very strong person. Meng Meng said.
"So someone is here, so let's put down the herbs and go take a look." After Xiao Chuan finished speaking, he pulled and walked towards the pharmacy.
The two put down the herbs and came to the door of Donghua Building, Xiaochuan gently buckled the door and said respectfully: "Master, I came back from collecting medicine with my little brother." ”
"Come in first," Liang Tiance's deep voice came from inside the room.
Hearing this, Xiao Chuan pushed the door violently and entered, and after entering the door, Xiao Chuan found that not only everyone in the First Pavilion was there, but there was also an old man sitting side by side with Liang Tiance in the first place. Xiao Chuan felt that the old man was very familiar, so he took two steps forward and found that it was Bai Li.
"Grandpa Bai!" Xiao Chuan exclaimed in some surprise.
"Xiaochuan, I haven't seen you grow taller again in a few months," Bai Li smiled kindly at Xiaochuan.
"Grandpa Bai, why did you come to the First Pavilion?" Xiao Chuan has been chatting with Bai Li since he was a child, and the two have almost more contact than Qingluan and Mu Jun, so he was a little excited to see Bai Li.
"Well, to meet an old friend. Bai Li turned his head and looked at Liang Tiance and said.
"Grandpa Bai, I don't know if you and Uncle Bai Chong have any new clues about what happened that night?" Xiao Chuan stared at Bai Li's eyes and suddenly asked. He expected that after the incident in Baijia Village, Bai Li would not be able to come out so leisurely, and there must have been some major discovery on the mountain this time.
"I can't hide you from a casual lie. Bai Li smiled helplessly.
"Xiao Chuan, do you know the West Pole Island outside of our Arctic Ice Sheet?" Bai Li suddenly asked Xiao Chuan with some seriousness.
"West Pole Island, is the coldest place in the legendary Arctic Ice Field?" Xiao Chuan's mind suddenly flashed some anecdotes that he had heard from Mu Jun back then, and he couldn't help but look at his mother.
Qingluan should have learned more information before, her expression was a little complicated, but she still nodded at Xiao Chuan's gaze.
"Yes, we've recently found some clues on West Pole Island that have something to do with that night's events. Bai Li said.
"What kind of clue can you find my father?" Xiao Chuan asked Bai Li excitedly.
"I can't give you a clear explanation yet, the environment of West Pole Island is extremely harsh, and it is impossible to conduct a thorough investigation by relying on the current strength of Baijia Village, so I came this time to use the power of Yishi Pavilion to find out again. ”
"Is that so......" Xiao Chuan was slightly disappointed, but he quickly cheered up again, "Grandpa Bai believes that you will definitely find more next time you go." ”
"Little junior brother, don't worry, this time your second senior sister and I will accompany Uncle Bai to go again. Even if we dig three feet into the ground on the West Pole Island, we have to find out the truth. Yang Wenxue said to Xiao Chuan.
It turns out that the senior brother and the second senior sister are going, so it seems that there will be all the gains this time, right?
"Senior brother, I'm going too. Before Xiaochuan could reply, Qingluan on the side suddenly spoke.
Hearing Qingluan's words, everyone was a little silent. Yang Wenxue opened his mouth and said: "Little junior sister, we can all understand your feelings, but your current strength and state are not suitable for you. You can rest assured that I will follow Uncle Bai with Xiaoyi, just wait for our news in the pavilion with Xiaochuan. ”
"Senior brother, for those who ruined Baijia Village and our family, I hate to drink their blood and eat their flesh, now that I have a clue, how can I sit in the pavilion? As for my strength, although I am not as good as my senior brother and sister, I am not an ordinary peak of the Spirit Ascension Realm, senior brother, you should know my ability, at least on the West Pole Island, I have the power to protect myself. Qingluan's words were resolute and decisive, and there was no doubt.
"But ......" Yang Wenxue hesitated. "Go ahead, the four of you will go together, and there will be no accidents if you think about it," Liang Tiance said.
"Then it's decided, I'll see if those people are three-headed and six-armed. The hot-tempered Yin Xiao slapped the table one by one and stood up.
Now that the master had spoken, Yang Wenxue also nodded in agreement, so everyone planned again, and decided to embark on a plan to return to the Arctic Ice Sheet the next day.
