Chapter 4: Departure

The next month or so was the most "fulfilling" period of time for Xiao Yu on the Ferris Ridge, and under the earnest teaching of the master, Xiao Yu practiced the master's secret unique technique "Ferris Heart Method" more thoroughly, and it can be said that it has reached a bottleneck period. Correspondingly, Xiao Yu's swordsmanship and skills have also achieved a qualitative leap, the flying sword can fly as far as seven zhang away, and the skyscraper swordsmanship is also more exquisite, and the Dao Qi tree is slowly growing quietly。。。。。。

More importantly, in the course of a month, Xiao Yu gradually found a suitable method for himself to expand the source of the Dao and store the Dao Qi. As the master said, there are thousands of avenues, and everyone's path to cultivation is different, but the common denominator is that they all need a sincere heart.

But the sensitive Xiao Yu still felt that something was wrong with the master, and the master seemed to be in a hurry, and gave himself most of what he had learned in a short period of time, which made Xiao Yu feel faintly uneasy...

Was it because of the mysterious man that day?

I don't know, but with my understanding of the master, Xiao Yu knows that his master has changed, and the seclusion life with the master may have to end...

On this day, it is a rare good weather in the year in Motianling. In the early morning, standing on the Sky Ridge, although the cold is pressing, the east shows a trace of warm sunshine. The sun shines on the snow, casting a dazzling white light; The sunlight shines on the ice, folding colorful lights, like the bright feathers of the Ferris bird, adding a bit of charm to the year-round cold Ferris Ridge.

As soon as the master and apprentice had breakfast, the Ferris monk sent Xiao Yu to the town to buy some salt. In the past, Xiao Yu would go to the town every few days to exchange hare meat, roe tee skins and other things for daily necessities such as salt. may have considered that Xiao Yu had rarely been to the town since he opened up the source of the Dao, but today the master actually allowed him to come back in the evening, which really made Xiao Yu happy for a long time.

"Master, the apprentice is gone, don't worry, before dinner, the apprentice will definitely come back." Xiao Yu once again straightened the hare meat on his back.

"Okay, Yu'er, you go, the teacher is here and waiting for you to come back." The Ferris monk straightened Xiao Yu's clothes, patted the dust on his clothes and said, "Don't forget to send a few roe deer skins to Aunt An's family in the town, there are no men in the family who go up to the mountains to hunt, I don't know if the winter clothes are made." ”

"Okay, master, you've said it several times", Xiao Yu bowed to the master, "Master, the apprentice is gone." ”

After speaking, Xiao Yu hummed a little song and jumped down the mountain road.

The Ferris monk looked at Xiao Yu's figure and smiled, "Alas, it's a child's heart after all." ”

"But, Yu'er, for the teacher, for the teacher, for the teacher", the Ferris monk choked up, just now Xiao Yu was there, and the Ferris monk who had been enduring the fairy wind bones actually choked up, "Yu'er, let the teacher take a look at your back again。。。。。。 ”

Although he had known it for a long time, he still couldn't let it go.

"Yu'er, you can, you can, you must be good." At this time, the Ferris monk completely lost the touch of a master, and cried out in a whisper.

Except for Xiao Yu, only the Ferris monk himself knows how many stories are contained in this cry......

Sui'an town.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen, enough, enough, oops, my master and I can't eat so much salt in a month."

A swarthy old man with a weathered face was constantly filling Xiao Yu's cloth bag with salt.

"Little Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for so long, how is your master? Last time, thanks to your master, I was cured of a stubborn headache, what is this, it should be my heart. Uncle Chen pretended to be salt, but his mouth did not stop.

"Uncle Chen, you will see the outside, this is my master's effort, you are too polite." After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he glanced at An Luo Meng, who was munching on dried sweet fruits, so that she could help him leave this place quickly, Uncle Chen is a good person, but he is too talkative, and he finally came out all day, but he didn't want to waste it.

An Luo Meng smiled, her big eyes rolled, she pursed her small mouth, and shook her five fingers towards Xiao Yu, with a smug expression on her face.

Five sweet dried fruits!

Oh my God, how can this little girl be so edible, I just bought 2 and want to buy it, Xiao Yu feigned anger, and was just about to bargain with An Luomeng, just listen...

"By the way, Brother Xiao, you're about to lose the crown, do you have a favorite girl, how about introducing you to the daughter of my neighbor's neighbor who worships my brother? Oh, that little girl Shui Lingyou, at first glance, she looks like a wangfu, and ah, last time..."Uncle Chen finally finished filling the salt, but the kung fu in his mouth still did not stop.

Xiao Yu's head grew big when he heard this, he no longer hesitated at the moment, nodded violently at An Luomeng, and looked at An Luomeng pitifully, hoping to leave here quickly.

"Haha", An Luomeng covered her mouth with her little hand, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, Brother Yu, did you pull the thick cotton boots you bought for your master at my house, it's going to be dark later, let's hurry up and get it." An Luomeng winked mischievously at Xiao Yu.

When Xiao Yu heard this, he was happy in his heart, this little girl, there are a lot of ghost ideas, and she patted her head at the moment, "Look at my memory, oops, no, let's go to Luo Meng, let's go get it, it's too late when it's dark." ”

Xiao Yu didn't care about greeting Uncle Chen, and dropped a sentence as he ran, "Uncle Chen, I'll leave first, let's have time to chat." ”

"Hahahaha", next to An Luomeng's silver bell-like laughter...

"Alas, I finally escaped, but unfortunately I took five dried sweet fruits." Xiao Yu was secretly depressed, while looking at An Luomeng, who was happily feeding the skyscraper sweet dried fruits.

"It's over, the skyscraper also eats sweet and dried fruits, and I'm going to buy double portions in the future."

"Hehe, Brother Yu, look at my skyscraper is getting bigger again." An Luomeng asked as she stroked the feathers of the Ferris bird.

The Ferris Bird locked its neck and let An Luomeng stroke her feathers, looking very enjoyable, and opened her eyes from time to time to look at Xiao Yu as if she had a spirit.

"What's your Ferris bird, it's obviously my goodness." Xiao Yu thought in his heart, but he didn't have a war of words with An Luomeng, who he regarded as his sister, and carefully looked at the skyscraper.

After An Luomeng's reminder, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be stunned, this skyscraper seems to be really much bigger than the last time, and now An Luomeng can only hold it in his arms, and he can no longer hold it in the palm of his hand like before.

"Well, it's a lot bigger." Xiao Yu muttered to himself while looking at it.

"yes, yes, haha, I knew that the Ferris Bird was not your average bird."

"I've seen it a long time ago, this is definitely not an ordinary bird, it can eat the same as you, 5 dried sweet fruits, you eat two, it eats two, haha, it's all rice buckets." Xiao Yu suddenly became childlike.

"You're the rice bucket, you! You! Hmph, ignore you anymore. An Luomeng pouted, her little face flushed, and she turned her head away from Xiao Yu.

"Ga, ga, gah." The skyscraper opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yu, as if refuting what Xiao Yu said.

"Hahahaha."

"You, you're still laughing!"

"Haha"

A long time later, Xiao Yu burst into tears every time he thought of today, because his master Ferris Monk had already left Motianju and left Motianling for some reasons that he didn't know at the time。。。。。

The sun is so warm today, the Ferris Monk finished reinforcing the last formation on the Sky Ridge, and looked at the Sky Keeper on the mountain in the distance and thought blankly.

"It's been a long time since I've left Ferris Ridge, and the comfortable days are finally over, and now it's time to go, but...

After all, the skyscraper can't rest assured that Xiao Yu is at ease.

"I was originally a person with a strong personality, why am I such a mother-in-law today?" The Ferris lay man laughed at himself.

Forget it, what should come will always come, and Xiao Yu will be blessed by God.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go, the determined skyscraper never looked back again, and embarked on an unknown journey on this warm winter day.

"Master, master, master!"

Xiao Yu, who returned to Motianju and couldn't find his master, went crazy and ran around Motianling.

Master! Master!

Xiao Yu, who was crying while running, fell again and again, stood up again and again, and ran again, but the master who looked at himself with a smile and called himself "Yu'er", or looked at himself majestically and called himself "Xiao Yu" is no longer in Ferris Ridge, only the echoes on the ridge continue to echo...

Xiao Yu, who had finished venting, sat on the ground at the door of the master's room, holding the letter left by the master in his hand, and looked at the few big words directly opposite, "Go for the teacher, don't worry, don't be sad."

Xiao Yu, who had dried his tears, silently opened the letter left by his master and read, reader, his heart seemed to be hit hard by a heavy object.

Over and over again, Xiao Yu didn't know how many times he had seen the heart left by the master.

Finally, Xiao Yu neatly folded the letter, put it on his chest, and covered it with both hands, as if he was afraid that the letter would fly away.

"Don't worry, master, Yu'er will no longer be a relative woman, no matter what, I will definitely follow your instructions to go down the mountain to sharpen, and the day when our master and apprentice will meet will not be too far away!."

Xiao Yu wiped away his tears, clenched his fists, wiped away his tears, and solemnly kowtowed three times to the place where the master was meditating.

Outside Sui'an Town, an official road leading to Xiangping City, Liaodong County.

"Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da."

The sound of the car rumbled, and a chaotic sound of horses' hooves shook up a cloud of dust from far and near.

Following the prestige, it turned out to be an ordinary caravan of merchants. There are more than a dozen cars in the convoy, and the eight or nine at the back should be wagons, and each wagon is surrounded by three or four strong men with weapons, and there are more than a dozen people riding horses to serve outside a carriage in the middle, and it seems that there should be some big man inside, and the handsome man who leads the way in front of the convoy is dressed in a bearded suit, with tight sleeves and a small mouth, and his face is full of vitality.

As if something important was going on, the riders waved their whips and the wagons roared away.

Xiao Yu was braving the cold to walk alone on the official road, and he had already decided to go to Xiangping City, Liaodong County, to find a master's old man in Xiangping City, Liaodong County, according to the instructions of the master in the letter. Xiao Yu plans to complete this matter first and then make plans.

Xiao Yu was wearing a thick padded jacket made by Aunt An herself, but the scene of Aunt An and Luo Meng sending him back echoed in his mind.

"Yu'er, you must be careful when you are out alone, come back when you are tired, Aunt An's house will always be open for you" Aunt An said with red eyes.

"Brother Yu, you must, you must come back to see me, see me and the Ferris Bird." An Luomeng, who was holding the skyscraper, had already cried into tears.

"Quack, quack, quack." Even the Ferris Bird cooperated and called a few times, not knowing whether it was worried about Xiao Yu's safety or comforting An Luomeng.

It was not very convenient to go out to sharpen and take the Ferris Bird with him, and after thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Yu decided to temporarily entrust the Ferris Bird to An Luomeng.

I must become stronger, I must become stronger, so that I can be worthy of the cultivation of my master and Aunt An and Luo Meng's care for me, and only after I become stronger can I have the ability to protect them, I must become stronger, Xiao Yu secretly made up his mind.

"Hey, little brother in front, quick, dodge, dodge!" An eager voice came from behind to break Xiao Yu's thoughts.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he looked back when he heard this, and a loose horse behind him didn't know what to be frightened and came straight towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu had seen a horse at Uncle Zhang's house in Sui'an Town at the bottom of the mountain, but where could that kind of domesticated horse compare to the horses in the merchant group that traveled south and north all the year round. The horse, especially this frightened horse, has an indescribable momentum, and for a while, Xiao Yu was stunned, standing motionless.

"Alas, the kid in front, hurry up and get out of the way, I'm afraid it's not a deaf person." A few horsemen rushed out of the caravan and chased after the loose horses, fearing that Xiao Yu would not understand the rhyme, so he shouted again in Goguryeo.

"Da da da", the loose horse was about to crash into Xiao Yu, and the people chasing behind were too far away, but Xiao Yu finally reacted.

Xiao Yu immediately rolled to the side of the horse.

In the moment when Xiao Yu dodged away, the loose horses rushed over with a "whoosh" like arrows, and the wind that blew on Xiao Yu's face hurt.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yu didn't take a closer look in his eagerness, and there happened to be a muddy puddle where he flashed, and he couldn't react for a while, and rolled straight over.

After Xiao Yu rolled down and stood firm, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he looked at it, if the horse just now hit him, I am afraid that he will be seriously injured if he does not die, after taking a closer look at his whole body, he is angry, and before leaving, Aunt An just gave him a new padded jacket, and now it has become tattered, and there are muddy stains everywhere.

At that moment, Xiao Yu pulled out the Xingyun Sword, "Huh, Huh, Huh", slashed a few times into the air, and with a finger of his left hand, the sword of the Xingyun Sword rushed out.

Afraid that Xiao Yu's Xingyun Sword would cause some unnecessary trouble when he walked and sharpened it, the Ferris Lay Man cast a spell on the body of the sword, so that Xiao Yu's dazzling white light disappeared when he made the Xingyun Sword, and the sword light on the tip of the sword also became without a trace, and repeatedly told Xiao Yu that he must not use the flying sword unless he had to. Therefore, although the Xingyun Sword is still leaking, from the outside, it is no different from an ordinary sword.

Xiao Yu just wanted to make a move to directly kill the horse that almost injured him, but after thinking about it, the other party was outnumbered, and besides, this horse was frightened for some reason, and it was very inappropriate for him to kill it rashly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu put away his sword, performed skyscraper footwork, and quickly chased after him.

At this time, the power of the Ferris footwork was displayed, and Xiao Yu chased after him little by little.

Among the riders who were chasing after him, the handsome man in the lead let out a surprised "huh" and quickly chased after him.
