The land of Shenzhou is fertile for thousands of miles, and there are countless races living in this ancient land. The history of the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info is constantly changing, and today, all the races in the world are headed by the four tribes. One is the "human race" that occupies the southeast of Shenzhou; the second is the "Spirit" tribe adjacent to the territory of the human race, occupying the land in the northeast of Shenzhou; the third is the "demon" race, which is also adjacent to the human race, dominating the southwestern territory of the Shenzhou continent; As for the fourth, it is the "demon" clan adjacent to the spirit and demon clans, which are entrenched in the northwest of Shenzhou.

The Terran territory is divided into several major regions, among which the entire southern part is collectively called the "Southern Regions", occupying about a quarter of the area of the Terran territory. In the middle of the Southern Regions, there is a river that runs through the two tribes of people and demons, from west to east, I don't know how many thousands of miles, until it flows into the East China Sea, and then ends its winding and long body. This river, known as the "Yangtze River" since ancient times, is indeed worthy of its name. No one remembers how long it has flowed, but it never dries up, accumulating powerful energy forever and witnessing the endless stories of this ancient land.

Nowadays, in the central and eastern part of the southern region, south of the Yangtze River, there is a huge city covering an area of hundreds of kilometers standing here, and its tall and thick city walls often amaze people who have just arrived. To the west of Nanyang City, on the other side of the Heishui River, there is the famous "Foggy Valley", one of the five major sects in the Southern Regions.

Nanyang City, most famous for commerce, this city is the most prosperous city in the Southern Regions, and it is also the most vast city, some people say, Nanyang City is magnificent in scale, prosperous in commerce, and has a large population, which is comparable to the imperial capital of the human race. The streets of Nanyang City are wide, and even five of the highest horse-drawn carriages are not an exaggeration, and there are many small stalls and vendors in the city, and there are all kinds of storefronts.

The congested industry agglomeration of Nanyang City was not eased until the center of the city, because it was firmly occupied by several major business giants, but it appeared more orderly. Among these leading bosses, Zixuan Building is among them, and it is most famous for eating, drinking and having fun.

At this time, in the Zixuan Building, there was still a lot of people, and there was an endless stream of distinguished guests.

"Boy! Come here! A bold man, calling the guy in Zixuan Building, saw a young man in his teens greet him with a lovely smile, his smile was like a spring breeze, and he asked in a respectful tone: "Boss Li, what do you need me to serve?" ”

Boss Li said a little unpleasantly: "Lao Tzu likes to see the girl dancing now, Lao Tzu wants to sit in the front position!" You're a good kid, so I'll leave it to you! As he spoke, he also pointed to the second floor, where the four sides of the second floor were singing and dancing, and on the side that Boss Li pointed to, there was a bewitching woman dancing on it.

The young man squinted and said with a gentle smile: "Boss Li, wait a while, I will definitely arrange it for you." ”

Boss Li laughed with satisfaction, and just escaped a huge amount of silver ticket and handed it to the young man. The boy excused himself slightly, and gladly accepted.

The young man walked to the side of the lobby of Zixuan Building, looked at its full seats, and frowned slightly, as if he was pondering something.

With a sweep of his eyes, he saw two middle-aged people eating wine in front of a table, and the corners of the young man's mouth were smiling again, and he walked up and sat down at the table.

"Yo! Isn't this Ran Xiao's butler! One of them looked at the boy and smiled.

The young man smiled back and said very kindly: "Boss Zhang, Uncle Duan, some time ago you asked me for the best wine in Zixuan Building, I thought about it again and again, and then I thought of the few jars of wine that Uncle Deng buried in his yard. ”

The eyes of the two middle-aged men lit up, revealing a look of extreme eagerness, and they grabbed the young man's hand and said, "Xiao Ran, did you say that it was prepared for us?" ”

The young man smiled mysteriously and nodded slightly.

"Good!" One of them slapped the table and said, "If there is such a good wine, I will pay you ten times the price!" ”

The young man shook his head with a smile and said, "Come with me." After saying that, he took the two of them to the courtyard at the back.

After a while, the young man walked out alone, went to Boss Li, and said, "Boss Li, it has been arranged for you, now follow me to enjoy the beautiful dance of that girl!" ”

Boss Li patted the table, stood up, laughed twice, seemed to be in a good mood, and sat down as the boy arrived at the position of the two just now, and did not forget to give the boy a few more silver tickets.

The young man walked back to the counter on the side with a smile, nodded to Deng Manquan who looked at him, and saw that there were guests waving to him again, so he hurriedly walked forward with a smile to greet him.

This young man is none other than Ran Hanchuan.

It has been three years since Ran Hanchuan came to Nanyang City and Zixuan Tower.

This year, Ran Hanchuan was thirteen years old. Now he no longer runs outside in tatters, no longer grabs food with his hands, no longer knows anything about the things around him, and he will not interpret his "wife" as a very old mother-in-law. In the past three years, Ran Hanchuan has learned a lot of things, and the first thing Deng Manquan taught him was to smile at people and tell him not to reach out and not hit smiling people. For three years, Ran Hanchuan also read a lot of books, and since his uncle taught him to read, he has a particularly strong interest in books. Of course, in the past three years, he has not fallen behind in terms of swordsmanship proficiency or physical training, and his mind has also grown slowly in training.

In three years, Ran Hanchuan worked for Deng Manquan in Zixuan Building, his ability to learn to imitate is really not small, and he soon learned how to entertain guests, and a year later, Deng Manquan asked him to be a little steward. But Deng Manquan also instructed him to learn to ponder the thoughts of the guests, know how to observe words and colors, how to be exquisite, how to be flexible, and in the remaining two years, Ran Hanchuan also learned.

There was only one thing that made Ran Hanchuan feel a little uneasy, in the past three years, whenever he was alone, he always felt that someone was watching him. Although he found nothing when he searched around, he firmly believed in his instinct to be in the company of wild beasts, and he would always be on his toes when he was alone. At first, the feeling was with me, then it faded away, but it remained.

Ran Hanchuan was serving a dish to a diner, when he suddenly heard a voice at the door of the building: "Is there anyone to say hello?" ”

Ran Hanchuan turned his head and saw that there were two young people standing at the door of Zixuan Tower, the two of them were not outstanding in appearance, but they had a different temperament from ordinary people, they were all dressed in the same gray-white robe, and one of them was carrying something behind him, which was tightly wrapped in white cloth.

"Two guest officers, what do you need?" Ran Hanchuan immediately greeted him with a smile and walked up very enthusiastically. Ran Hanchuan has also grown a lot taller over the years, but after all, he hasn't grown up yet, and the two of them in front of him are taller than him, squinting at him, and said lightly: "We are here to find someone." ”

Ran Hanchuan's bearing has obviously grown a lot, and he didn't show any displeasure at the contempt of the two, but asked more enthusiastically: "I don't know who the two big brothers are looking for?" I'll definitely introduce you to both. ”

"Chuan'er!" At this time, Deng Manquan's voice sounded behind him, Ran Hanchuan turned around, and saw that Deng Manquan had walked to his side, touched his head, and said, "They should be looking for me." ”

The two young men looked at Deng Manquan carefully for a while, and one of them stepped forward and said, "This must be Deng Manquan, Uncle Deng, right?" ”

Deng Manquan snorted and said lightly: "Uncle Shi doesn't dare to be, which of you two are the disciples in the Foggy Valley?" ”

It turned out that these two young men were actually disciples of one of the five major sects in the Southern Regions, Foggy Valley. When Ran Hanchuan heard this, he looked at the two curiously on the side.

"We are disciples of Master Xu Wanqing, and now we have important matters, so we have come to visit Uncle Deng." One replied with a clasped hand.

Deng Manquan pouted and said: "There is nothing important, that guy will not let you come to me, although I and your master are not from the same sect, the relationship back then was not bad, if there is anything I can help, I will help." Please, both of you. As he spoke, he pointed his palm in the direction of the courtyard behind the lobby and led the two of them over.

Ran Hanchuan hurriedly took the first step, walked into the courtyard, and said to Zhang and Duan, who were intoxicated by the aroma of wine, with a smile on his face: "Boss Zhang, Uncle Duan, my Uncle Deng has some urgent matters to handle now, and he wants to use this courtyard, can you two come back another day, I will definitely invite you two to drink!" ”

The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and the two of them were also well-informed people, so they didn't do much entanglement, nodded and got up to leave.

"Thank you two uncles for your understanding, I'm really sorry!" Ran Hanchuan hugged the two of them.

"Haha! It's okay, Xiao Ran, remember your words! The remaining half pot will also be taken away by the two of us! ”

"Hmmm! No problem! ”

As soon as the two walked out of the courtyard, Deng Manquan walked in with two young people. Glancing at Ran Hanchuan, Deng Manquan nodded and beckoned the two to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Uncle Deng, let me introduce myself first, my name is Chen De," one person said, "My name is Hu Tu" the other person continued, his tone was a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, don't be embarrassed, life is rare and confused, Hu Tuxian's nephew's name is not bad!" Deng Manquan said with a smile.

The Foggy Valley disciple named Hu Tu sneered, nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Deng." ”

Deng Manquan shook his hand and said, "What, is that guy Xu Wanqing in trouble?" ”

Chen De shook his head and said: "Master, he is not in trouble, but the two of us need to trouble Uncle Deng." As he spoke, he smiled a little embarrassedly.

"What, do you need any help from the two good nephews?" Deng Manquan looked at the two of them.

"Uh-" The two looked at each other and nodded, and Hu Tu explained: "That's the case, this year it's time for the various sects to accept apprentices, and the master and one of his relatives' children are also old enough to accept apprentices this year, so they sent me and the two of us to pick him up to participate in the test, but..." Hu Tu's face became a little ugly, "But after arriving in Nanyang City, the two of us went out to buy something to take back to the valley, but when we returned to the Chengdong Inn, we found that the child was gone!" ”

"Huh?" Deng Manquan frowned when he heard this, "Gone?" When was there a child trafficker in Nanyang City? That's not right! He pondered in his mouth, and then reprimanded the two: "You too, a teenager, should at least be left under personal care!"

"Yes, yes, the juniors know that they are wrong!" The two of them bowed their heads with shame on their faces.

"Forget it, let's talk about the child's physical characteristics first."

"Well, the kid was dressed in brown, about the same height as the kid next to you, and there was a small mole under his left ear, um... There is also a peace charm hanging from his waist. ”

"Ahh Hearing this, Ran Hanchuan suddenly screamed, and the three of them looked at him together, Ran Hanchuan coughed dryly twice, and said, "Uncle Deng, I'll go to the next room." So saying, he walked briskly to his room, and soon came out again, still holding something in his hand.

"Isn't that it?" Ran Hanchuan stretched out his palm, it turned out to be a peace charm, the two of them stared, as if they saw a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked, "Little brother, where did you pick it up?" ”

"It's the woods east of the city, which I picked up outside the woods this morning when I went to chop wood." Ran Hanchuan replied to the words of the two.

"The woods in the east of the city..."The two of them looked at each other, both wondering, how could a child run there by himself? Could it be that someone took him? So who is it, and why do you have to take this child?

Deng Manquan pondered for a while and exclaimed, "Hanchuan! ”

"Hey!"

"You just take these two brothers to the location where you picked up this peace charm and go and investigate!"

"Good!" Ran Hanchuan replied briskly.

"Thank you Uncle Deng, thank you little brother!" The eyes of the two were full of gratitude, and they said to Deng Manquan and Ran Hanchuan.

Nanyang City, on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city is a dense forest. Nanyang city north and west of the water, south is a beautiful plain meadow, the east of the city is a quiet forest, it is said that the scenery is very beautiful.

Outside the woods, Ran Hanchuan took Chen De and Hu Tu to the side of the woods, stopped a few steps into the forest, pointed to the ground and said, "No! Here it is. ”

When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and investigated carefully.

Looking at the two people pondering on the ground, Ran Hanchuan frowned slightly and pondered, stepped forward again to take a closer look, and squatted down to play with the surrounding weeds for a while, looking at it very carefully.

"Someone must have gone this way!" Ran Hanchuan suddenly pointed in one direction of the woods.

The two were stunned for a moment, and Hu Tu asked, "How do you know?" ”

"I've been hunting in the mountains and forests since I was a child, so I'm quite familiar with the tracks of wild beasts, and I just looked at the traces on the ground, although they are very small, but I can still see that someone is going this way!" Ran Hanchuan said with a smile.

The two glanced at each other, and Chen De hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, little brother." As he spoke, he hurriedly got up and looked in the direction that Ran Hanchuan was pointing. Ran Hanchuan hurriedly followed and said, "I'll go too!" I grew up in the woods, and I'm familiar with this environment, and I've been here for three years, so I'm familiar with the road. ”

Chen De and Hu Tu looked at him and said, "It's hard work!" ”

Ran Hanchuan smiled, he seemed to be very happy, in fact, he was more interested in the two disciples of Foggy Valley, and he had heard for a long time that the disciples of Foggy Valley were good at all kinds of strange techniques, and he really wanted to see it.

The woods are quiet, the birds are singing, and the shadows of the trees and the sunlight are intertwined.

Walking in the forest, Ran Hanchuan was very enthusiastic to guide the two of them, but after about half an hour, Ran Hanchuan suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Chen De and Hu Tu asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Ran Hanchuan turned his head, pointed to the front, and said, "Two big brothers, look at it, why is it so strange?" ”

Chen De and Hu Tu stepped forward to take a closer look, the woods in front of them were still woods, and the grass was still grass, but as Ran Hanchuan said, it didn't feel right. Ran Hanchuan relied on his familiarity and intuition with the woods, while Chen De and Hu Tu relied on their own cultivation experience.

"It's supposed to be a trick!" Hutu said with a frown.

Chen De nodded and said, "Senior brother, you are more familiar with the formation than me, so it's up to you to crack it." ”

Hutu said "um" and went up to take a closer look, only to see his hand touch the trunk of the tree beside him, and then put it on the ground as if he was feeling something, then he stepped back and took a closer look, and began to move and observe laterally.

After a while, Hu Tufang nodded confidently, and took out a yellow piece of paper with some strange patterns drawn on it, which Ran Hanchuan had seen in the book, such a piece of paper was called "Fu".

Hu Tu held the talisman between his fingers, and suddenly a white light flashed on the talisman paper, wrapping the talisman paper, and then, a tangible arc of light suddenly flew out of the white light, touching a big tree in front of him, and the tree actually broke when he heard the sound and fell to the side. Hu Tu concocted another piece of talisman paper in one hand, and two more big trees fell one after another.

Ran Hanchuan's eyes lit up, and he was very interested in watching this scene. The next moment, he was stunned by the sudden change in front of him.

I saw a small forest in front of me, which was originally a lush scene, but in the blink of an eye, it became full of dead grass, and several big trees actually lost their vitality.

Chen De and Hu Tu's faces were solemn, looking at this small piece of woods with weak vitality, the two turned their heads to look at Ran Hanchuan and said, "Little brother, there may be danger ahead, so don't come with you." ”

Ran Hanchuan was not afraid at all, the two of them didn't know that when they were ten years old, Ran Hanchuan had seen a lot of mysterious and gloomy things, shook his head and said: "Two big brothers, I'm not afraid, and I'm very interested, I don't know if the two big brothers have swords?" ”

The two frowned, and Chen De asked, "Do you know how to use swordsmanship?" ”

"Hmm!" Ran Hanchuan nodded.

"Good!" Chen De took out a long sword out of nowhere, handed it to Ran Hanchuan, and said: "Little brother, since you are interested, it doesn't hurt to come along, but if you encounter danger, you can flee, if you don't see me and the two of you coming, go back to find Uncle Deng, he will have a way!" ”

Ran Hanchuan agreed "um", but his own heart was full of blood at the moment, he has always treated others as he treats him. Seeing that these two people cared so much about their comfort, they were suddenly full of righteousness.

The three of them walked cautiously to the forest, and after a few steps, they suddenly saw a small wooden house in front of them. The chalet is quiet, as if no one is living in it, but it gives it an ominous feel. The three of them stepped forward to take a closer look, and suddenly found that in front of the wooden house, two children fainted on the ground. One of them was very pale, and the other was fine, but when they saw this child, Chen De and Hu Tu looked excited.
