Chapter 478, Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots

This narrow path turned around and finally ended in front of a tall cliff, and Jueyuan stood in front of the rock wall with complicated eyes, his eyes clearly flashing with crystal tears!

"Senior Jueyuan, ...... you," Helianno asked in a puzzled whisper.

"It's nothing, I'm just touching the scene! It's been decades, I've been away from the village for decades! I didn't expect that even if I was forced to move here, the setting of the forbidden land still hasn't changed in the slightest, it's just that things are not people, and the people who once entered the forbidden land with me are no longer around!" , Jueyuan wiped his eyes with a wry smile, slowly stretched out his right index finger, and gently scratched on the cliff wall, after a while, there was a roar, and the huge cliff wall was split in half, revealing a giant door several meters high, Jueyuan flicked his fingers, and a red flame burned directly on his index finger, through the light of the flame, several people vaguely saw the road under their feet, Jueyuan took a deep breath, and walked in first.

This cave hidden in the mountain is not as damp and cold as the general cave, on the contrary, after entering the cave inside, a wave of heat will come to the face, Jueyuan used the flame on the index finger to light a few oil lamps hanging on the wall, under the light of the oil lamp, everything in the cave is presented in front of everyone without reservation, the area of the cave is not large, on the left side of the cave, hundreds of spirit cards are neatly inserted on a flat rock, the spirit cards are all fire red, with a black pen written on the name, Jueyuan knelt down on his knees in front of the spirit card, and bowed respectfully, Heliannuo and others quickly knelt down when they saw this, The patriarchs of the Xuanhuo clan are enshrined here, and they are worthy of worship by everyone present!

After worshipping three times, Helianor suddenly stood up, took out a narrow wooden box from the heaven-given space and put it on the ground, gently opened the wooden box, and a complete human bone appeared in front of everyone, seeing this corpse bone, Jueyuan instantly became excited, he threw himself in front of the human bone, kowtowed desperately, the tears in his eyes finally couldn't bear it anymore, like a spring flowed down, at the same time, the burning flame also bowed and worshipped with red circles under his eyes, although Xiaohuo didn't know why, but also obediently followed the kowtow, not long after, his smooth forehead broke a layer of skin, but this little guy didn't seem to feel pain, still kept knocking!

After a long time, Jueyuan finally calmed down, his forehead was already blurred with flesh and blood on the rocks, his face was full of blood, and his expression was complicated to stir up flames and small fires, Jueyuan asked softly, "Child, what's your name?"

"My name is Xiaohuo!", Xiaohuo replied timidly, because of the pain, tears rolled in his eyes, and the tears kept rolling in his eyes, but they didn't flow after all!

"Small fire...... Yes, very good! And you, Burning Flame, seeing you, I seem to see the hope of the Xuanhuo clan, only those who know how to respect are qualified to be respected by others, I have never married in my life, and I have never officially accepted apprentices, you two...... Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?", Jueyuan patted Xiaohuo's shoulder with relief, and suddenly his expression was solemn.

"Yes, yes!Apprentice to meet the master!", Burning Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt on the ground without hesitation, Xiaohuo was at a loss, Burning Yan grabbed him and let him kneel beside him, although Jueyuan had made a big mistake, but this return saved the Xuanhuo clan from the time of the collapse, anyway, as soon as the burning sky died, Jueyuan would definitely become the best candidate for the next patriarch, and Jueyuan's own cultivation was unfathomable, and it was naturally a great opportunity to worship him as a teacher!

"Okay, okay, I feel that Yuan has been lonely all my life, and it is a pity to be able to accept you two good apprentices!", Jueyuan choked up the burning flame and small fire, and turned his gaze to Heliano, "Young patriarch, thank you for your great kindness, you let my father return to his roots, and this kindness will always be remembered in my heart!"

"Jueyuan's predecessors don't need to be polite, it's better to let the old patriarch enter the earth as soon as possible!", Heliannuo nodded, and winked at Burning Flame, being able to worship Jueyuan as a teacher, Burning Flame's future is naturally worry-free, seeing that his friend can have a home, Heliannuo is naturally in a good mood!

"Entering the earth for peace, that is the practice of the Holy Land clan, my clansmen of the Xuanhuo clan, naturally want to end their lives in the flames!", Jue Yuan shook his head, his right hand shook slightly, and a blue flame ignited with a pop, and after reluctantly looking at the old patriarch's corpse for the last time, Jue Yuan closed his eyes and gently put the flames on the bones!

It stands to reason that it is impossible for such a small flame to ignite the cold human bones, but the strange thing is that as soon as the faint blue flame touched the bones of the old patriarch, the whole corpse burned with a thud, and the white bones shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, but did not turn into ashes, but quickly condensed into a crimson spirit card!

"Father, the unfilial son Yanyuan has returned! I can't see the last face of your old man, Yanyuan will regret it for the rest of my life! Don't worry, I have got rid of the traitor Burning the Sky, the Xuanhuo clan, and will never fall into the hands of traitors again!", Jueyuan's voice choked, and he bit his right index finger violently, and sketched it on the spirit card, and after a while, three strong black characters appeared on the spirit card: Burning Yuan Mountain! This is the name of the patriarch of the previous generation!

Carefully inserted the spirit card on the huge stone slab, Jueyuan bowed down again, and solemnly bowed three times, this time Xiaohuo was also a lot smarter, and he didn't need to be reminded by burning the flames, so he knelt down and worshipped, Heliannuo also pulled Niu Chong to bow to the old patriarch's spirit card, which was able to make the old patriarch Ye fall back to his roots, which was also a matter of his heart.

After getting up to wipe the tears from his face, Jueyuan walked to the right side of the cave, which was different from the left side, the right side of the cave was empty, without any furnishings, and it looked very deserted.

"Big man, are you bold?", after hesitating for a moment, Jueyuan suddenly turned around and asked Niu Chong.

"I ...... Of course I'm bold! I want to make a bet with the children in the village when I was a child, and I even slept in the cemetery by myself for one night!", Niu Chong was stunned when he heard this, and then he patted his chest and boasted to himself.

"In that case, then in this world, I'm afraid nothing can scare you!", Jueyuan nodded with satisfaction, his right hand scurried in the void, outlining an extremely mysterious pattern, as the most important stroke on the pattern fell, the ground on the right side of the cave suddenly slowly separated, revealing a fiery red hole, at the same time, the temperature in the cave instantly rose a lot, Helianor and Niu Chong couldn't help but take a few steps back, and then got rid of the invasion of the heat wave!

"Big man, since you said you have a lot of guts, then jump into this lava cave!", Jueyuan beckoned to Niu Chong, the expression on his face full of anticipation.

Hearing this, Niu Chong cautiously stepped forward, looked into the cave, and saw that in the fiery red lava cave, the churning magma was like the blood basin of a giant beast, and it seemed to be able to devour everything!

"Isn't it just a magma cave, let alone jumping in, I can still take a bath in it and come out!", Niu Chong laughed confidently, took out a small red grass from his arms and swallowed it into his stomach, rolled up his sleeves and was about to jump down!

"Wait, big man, don't be clever, if this lava cave is something that the red grass can defend against, why should I ask if you're bold enough? To tell you the truth, the magma in this lava cave is not ordinary magma, it's hot enough to melt everything, and your red grass can't play any role in this lava cave!" Jueyuan smiled, took out an identical red grass from his arms and threw it into the cave, only to hear a soft sound, when there was still some distance from the lava in the cave, the red grass suddenly burned, and it turned into ashes in a moment!

Seeing this, Niu Chong swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, involuntarily took a few steps back under his feet, and muttered: "I can't come, I'm not a fool, you better find someone else to jump!"

"Big Niu, jump down!", seeing Niu Chong retreating, Helenor, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Helian, you...... Don't you see how scary that magma is, don't say it's me, even a lump of iron will be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye!", Niu Chong's voice carried a hint of crying, Jueyuan could not do the same thing, but Helianor was different.

"Remember what you once said, as long as I give you meat to eat, you will not disobey my orders! Now, my order is for you to jump down the lava cave!", Helenor's face was cold, and he didn't pay attention to the begging in Niu Chong's eyes, and his words were full of irresistible majesty!

Niu Chong was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word after all, the biggest difference between him and Lei Shuo is the hopeless stubbornness and persistence in his mind, as long as it is something he recognizes, it will not change no matter what, compared to Lei Shuo, Niu Chong has a little less wisdom, but a little more cute stupidity!

"Helian, since you made me jump, then I just jumped! Don't forget...... Don't forget to bring more meat and throw it into this lava cave, I will be hungry and scared in this life, even if I die, I will be a full ghost!", Niu Chong glanced at Helenor with a choked voice, and then jumped into the lava cave without hesitation, and was swallowed by the fiery red magma in a blink of an eye!

"This son has a good heart, it's rare, it's rare! But it seems that you don't feel sorry for his death at all!", Jueyuan sighed and shook his head, while Burning Flame and Xiaohuo looked at Helenor dumbfounded, with undisguised disappointment and anger in their eyes, they didn't expect that Helianor would actually order the loyal Niu to rush to his death!

"I'm sorry, I should be happy for him! I believe it won't be long before he will impress us!", Helenor smiled calmly, looking at the terrifying lava cave with great anticipation, in his eyes, the fiery red color not only means death, but also hope!
