Chapter 2 Beatings and Immortal Chief's Visit
At the moment, this panel that can disappear at any time is not all worth worrying about, and the imprint on the door of his head gives him a headache, and there are a bunch of chores and errands in the house every day, how to go out with it?
Just as he was leaning his face on the bucket and studying how to erase the mark, as soon as he heard the panicked and hurried footsteps outside the door, the door of the room was slammed open, and a petite and pretty figure flashed in, and he was so frightened that he quickly covered his forehead with his rag again, and raised his body to look at the visitor.
A long blue robe hung down above the knees, wrapping her slender figure. Although the color of the clothes is a little dull and there are a few patches that are quite eye-catching, they are not spotty. The girl's breath is as beautiful as a lark, but at this time she looks anxious and crying, and her depressed expression has lost the agility that a girl should have.
"Brother...... What to do, what to do! They ...... They're looking for me again!"
Du Ningyu's words sounded like they had no beginning or end, but for Du Rong, he already knew the meaning of this sentence, his expression became solemn, and a little anger appeared on his peaceful face. I didn't care about the mark on my forehead that I didn't know where to start, so I resolutely put down the hand used to cover it.
The expected stunned expression of the younger sister did not appear, and her anxious appearance did not change in the slightest, and her gaze did not even look at Du Rong's forehead that much.
"Can't anyone else see it except me?" all of them couldn't help but smutter, and turned their heads sideways to confirm their reflection in the water, the pattern was still there, and it was not until this moment that it slowly dimmed.
I don't have to think about it anymore, since Du Ningyu can't see it, it means that the probability of this mark being seen by outsiders is not very high. There was no time to hesitate, so he grabbed his sister's wrist and ran out the door.
The two siblings ran in the area where the next person lived, running all the way in the corridor, stepping on the wooden floor with four legs and making a muffled crunchy sound of "oo
From time to time, there were people working along the way, and these two still thin figures quickly shuttled to avoid the people who came and went, causing bursts of exclamations.
Even though Du Rong had already run with all his strength, if it weren't for his strength, Du Ningyu behind him would have been unable to keep up with the strength of his feet, and he stumbled a few times and almost fell down when running, but there was still a force on her wrist from time to time that made her barely able to keep up.
But this is far from enough, Du Rong knows how many pounds and taels he has, he is just a martial artist who does not enter the acquired realm, if it is about foot strength, it is far from being able to come up, but he is desperate to leave one step earlier, hoping to get rid of the search of the pursuers and find a hidden place to hide for a while.
And it backfired, and there is also a sentence in his memory that reality is far more skinny than ideal. And the commotion behind him made him frown and make a decision in his heart.
"You all get out of the way, I still don't believe I can't catch that Nizi today!" full of violence, but with some childish voices echoing in the rear, the people working behind him spread out to the side like a tide, and Du Ningyu's little face, which was red from running, also turned white with fright.
The two siblings had rushed to a certain side gate of the Yan Mansion, and near an arch, Du Rong made an emergency stop and pushed his sister to the door, urging: "You hurry up from here to the adults, they also have some scruples when there are many people, go quickly!"
"Brother you ......"
"Don't talk so much nonsense, or they'll both be caught, quick!" Du Rong yelled at his sister.
Facing that resolute look, Du Ningyu's eyes showed emotion and worry, but she still gritted her teeth and ran away with the little strength she had left.
After watching his sister's figure disappear into the rockery corridor, Du Rong finally had a look of relief on his face, and he had already seen three figures running towards him quickly, and the corners of his mouth grinned helplessly, and he still turned around to block the arch behind him with a resolute look......
"Du Rong, it's your waste that spoils our good deeds! Yan Sheng, Shanguang, don't chase after the two of you, just beat him up as a pastime today!"
At this time, the four figures were already entangled together, and they were already lying on the ground, pulling a person's arm with his left hand, wrapping his right hand around a person's thigh, and his legs tightly wrapped around the waist of the last person.
The whole person is stuck in this doorway, and several people are not allowed to pass. Even though his hands and feet were maliciously picked and covered with blood, he didn't say a word, he just knew that he couldn't let go.
The three teenagers who were chasing saw that the girl had long since run away, so they simply didn't look for her, and turned around and punched Du Rong in the face, followed by punches and kicks the size of sandbags and wantonly beckoned to him.
Occasionally, a few people who walked by here with food and washed clothes saw this scene and quickly bowed their heads, walked quickly to the side, and saw everything.
The teenagers who committed the violence were all the sons and daughters of the direct elders of the Yan family, especially the one who was the leader, Yan Gong, the second son of the patriarch, who was notoriously arrogant and stubborn, and the people of the Yan family were afraid to avoid it.
silently bearing the punches and kicks inflicted on his body, Du Rong could only blindly protect his head with both hands and did not fight back. His family's status in the Yan Mansion is low, and the Yan family is the heaven here in this remote town, and getting rid of a few subordinates is no different from stepping on a few ants.
In the face of these abusers whose cultivation is much higher than their own, especially Yan Sheng, who has crossed the threshold of ordinary martial artists and entered the acquired realm, it is not necessarily useful to resist.
It's just that Yan Sheng and the others saw that they didn't have any resistance moves, and a few of them were not too old and not so ruthless, so they didn't dare to use internal force and martial arts to make a dead move, otherwise they would not be able to hold it even if they were strong.
As if they were tired, several people stopped their hands and feet, Yan Gong squatted down, and lifted up Durong's bloodstained, weak but still not humble and arrogant face.
He slapped it a few times hard, and sneered: "You kid, you are a cheap bone, as a house slave, do you know what obedience is? ”
Lifting his scarred face, he grinned a disdainful smile, as if the beatings and injuries on his body did not cause him much pain. "People my sister doesn't like, I'm a brother, at least I have to guarantee her wishes. ”
As if he had heard some big joke, several young masters of the Yan family looked at each other stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly unscrupulously, and the young man named Yan Shanguang sneered: "Hahahahaha, just with your cheap billet, you don't pee to see how many catties and taels you have, but it's just a dog in our Yan family, and it's still a waste in martial arts, and you haven't opened your internal strength to reach the acquired realm for nine years." What exactly right do you have to say no?!"
Yan Sheng, who looked obscene, interjected with an evil grin: "Now there is no room for you to choose, you also know that our eldest son, that is, Yan Gong's eldest brother Yan Zhen." But I fell in love with your sister, although the family discipline is still strict, and we are not allowed to forcibly occupy the handmaid on the surface, but with the status of Brother Yan Zhen in the eyes of the patriarch and the elders, a handmaid will be rewarded to him with one eye open. And the eldest son, the woman who is tired of playing, will naturally have a book of resignation, and after the break, it will be for our fun, hahahahaha!"
Several people laughed wildly, ignoring the squatting teenager in front of them as if they were nothing.
"I might as well tell you that my eldest brother has become the youngest martial artist to break through the innate realm from the Yan family's creation clan, and after the martial arts meeting in a few days, it will be the day when your sister becomes my eldest brother's concubine, cherish the day of the reunion of your parents and siblings in these few days!" Yan Gong's eyes were cold, as if he was making a fateful judgment on this peer who was about the same age as himself.
Du Rong's shoulders trembled, and he was about to burst out and fight with the three people in front of him, even if he hit the stone with an egg, he had to fight hard, but the body that was about to move suddenly stopped when he thought of the sudden mark on his forehead.
The figure did not move, but his eyes were fixed on the three of them without saying a word, the angry light in his eyes erupted like substance, and there was a not weak momentum slowly brewing in that weak body.
was a little stunned by Du Rong's desire to choose people, and Yan Gong said angrily: "Okay, you son of a bitch, you dare to look at me with this kind of eyes, but you can't do it!." It seems that the previous attack was still too light, you two work harder, and I will carry something wrong!"
One by one, the punches and kicks of sandbags fell on Du Rong's body again, and unlike before, with killing intent and a little internal strength, I am afraid that no one will stop Du Rong's life today.
At this moment, the side door that usually no one enters or leaves was opened, and a few people walked in in the dust, the first few people were all the head of the Yan family and several other family elders, and walking side by side was a Kongwu man, dressed in a black suit, wearing a black and gold shoulder armor, every step was as light as a weight, at a glance, it was a practitioner, even a layman could detect its profound internal cultivation, this wave of people should be led by it.
The origin of this position is also big, the deputy master of the first big gang in Wulin Town, Yu Yan, stomped on the local martial arts, and the ruthless corners of the three shocks were needed.
And in the end, the style of the people who followed was very different from the previous ones, dressed as a Taoist priest in a dark blue pigment clothes, who seemed to be over sixty years old, and his steps were frivolous, and there was no trace of martial arts at all.
However, the first few martial arts masters seemed to have deliberately slowed down for the sake of the old way, and they gathered around him step by step.
Several other elders of the Yan family, as well as even influential figures such as Shan Yuyan, looked flattering at this seemingly weak old man.
This scene, not to mention the Yan family, even if anyone in Wulin Town saw these big people sneakily entering and leaving from a side door of the Yan Mansion for the first time, and flattering an inconspicuous Taoist priest, they were afraid that their jaws would drop.
Shan Yuyan looked at the patriarch of the Yan family, who had a close conversation with Lao Dao, his eyes were full of envy, and he pulled Yan Weijian, another elder of the Yan family, next to him, and asked: "Although my family and your Yan family have always had a good intersection, I didn't expect that your family actually had a relationship with the immortal master, but I don't know if I can introduce it to the contemptible people later." ”
"The head of the single deputy sect said seriously, this immortal master is not a friend of our generation, but a family ancestor who traveled and knew it when he was young, and I don't know much about the specific situation. Seeing that this deputy sect master with a strong cultivation took the initiative to talk to him, this Yan family elder was also a little flattered, and responded with a fist.
Then he said: "I only know that this immortal chief is under a certain immortal sect, and this time he came out to select a suitable immortal disciple, and he just traveled to the vicinity of Wulin Town to settle in my mansion." Other specific details, the immortal master himself did not disclose, and we don't know much about it. As for the introduction, with the relationship between the innocent door and our mansion here, the patriarch will definitely say it in front of the immortal chief, and the single deputy door master does not have to worry. ”
Shan Yuyan's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hugged his fists and said, "Then there will be labor!"
"The deputy door master is polite."
Yan Tengliang, the patriarch of the Yan family, took two steps back, walked to the side of the old road, bowed down and said: "Why don't the immortal elders go to the front door, but they want to go through the back door, how can we not greet them well?"
Yan Tengliang and the Taoist priest talked all the way, but he said a lot, and the Taoist priest's reaction was relatively indifferent.
"I have something important to do this time, I was going to go to the capital of Yunfeng Country, not to mention that there are many disputes in the world of you ordinary people, and we are not too peaceful, and there is a shortage of people. There is still one person left behind the number of people appointed by the sect, and if there is no one of you here, I will have to find another way. ”
"I also have some friendship with your deceased grandfather, and I want to recruit people when I think of old feelings, so I might as well come here to have a look, maybe there are one or two seedlings, but since it's a private matter, you have to keep a low profile. Lao Dao replied unhurriedly.
"Yes, everything is according to the meaning of the Taoist, as long as you don't dislike us for being sluggish. This time, please take a look at the roots of our dogs, and see if they have the blessing to follow you into the immortal spirit. Yan Tengliang smiled flatteringly on the side.
Lao Dao glanced at the Yan family patriarch with disdain: "Let's just say that you are poor and remote, although the immortal path is a little ethereal to mortals, but the spiritual root must know, forget it, it is not much benefit to tell you this, and the detection of the spiritual root is also quite laborious, but there are still other signs that can be seen." ”
"I don't know what kind of sign it is, I can see that the human body has spiritual roots, and I ask the Taoist to give advice. Yan Tengliang asked expectantly.
"For example, have you ever seen a child in your clan display the power of vision in a crisis or a sudden change in mood, or have you ever told you that there is a precedent for perceiving other heaven and earth primordial forces when you are practicing internal strength?"
Yan Tengliang frowned, thought hard in his mind, did not find any clues in his memory, looked back at the opinions of several of his brothers who were asked for advice, and was also replied by shaking his head blankly, so he had to try to say: "I haven't seen what you said, I don't know if you are born with more strength?"
The old way of describing great strength is interested: "Unless it is born with divine power, the kind that can be lifted at the age of five, do you have it in your house?"
The faces of several members of the Yan family were stiff, Ding Yue Qianjin, are you kidding, this is something that a martial artist can only do with the blessing of strong internal force at least when he has reached the realm of acquired perfection, if a five-year-old child can do it easily, what do they need to work hard to practice martial arts?
Seeing their reactions, he knew that there was no play, and Lao Dao shook his head and sighed: "That's it, it seems that it will take me some effort to know......"
The words were suddenly interrupted, and the few people behind him were a little puzzled, but following his gaze, the faces of the patriarchs of the Yan family suddenly darkened.
As far as the eye could see, it was a few Yan Jiajinyi disciples who beat their subordinates, and when they saw that the young man who was beaten, he couldn't hold it anymore, and he had more breath and less breath.
"I didn't expect it, the young men of the Yan Mansion are so strong-blooded, I have seen it today. Although the Taoist priest said to himself, his voice was not small, and several people around him could hear his sarcasm.
Yan Gong and the others were still having a lot of fun, but they suddenly felt that the atmosphere around them was not quite right, and when they looked back, they were suddenly frightened and froze in place, and their hands and feet raised in the air also listened.
"Daddy," several teenagers shouted in unison to several clan elders. In addition to Yan Gong, Yan Sheng and Yan Shanguang looked at Yan Tengliang cautiously, and shouted like gnats: "Patriarch ......"
"Hmph!" seemed to lose interest after being disturbed by the scene in front of him, Lao Dao waved his sleeve robe and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Yan Mansion by himself.
Several elders of the Yan family were shocked and hurriedly followed.
Yan Tengliang hurriedly explained to the Taoist priest: "The discipline of several children in the house is not strict, which makes the Taoist master smile. Please also ask the Taoist chief to rest in the inner hall, and then test a few children in the house when it is convenient for you to see if they have this blessing to worship you in the fairy gate. ”
"There is no one in ten thousand spiritual roots, don't expect too much. Obviously, the Taoist priest was disturbed by the previous scene, and he didn't want to say more.
Several elders resignedly agreed, and Yan Youwu, the third elder of the Yan family who was walking behind, gave a color to the few Yan family youths who were in place, waved his hand, and motioned for them to follow.
Yan Gong and the others recovered from their uneasiness, and hurriedly trotted a few steps behind several elders and kept a distance, while also cleaning up the stains and blood stains on their bodies in embarrassment.
It's just a blink of an eye Everyone walked away, Shan Yuyan glanced down at the young man lying on the ground, although he was still alive, but his breath was weak.
The people who can reach the high position of the martial arts sect are all climbing up step by step from the killing, and they naturally don't care about the life or death of the Yan family's subordinates, they just take a simple look and follow from a distance, without the slightest intention of interfering.
Shan Yuyan just held his chin thoughtfully, and said to himself: "Immortal Master actually came to this kind of place, I haven't heard of it for decades, is there something going on over there?"
The rustle of footsteps slowly faded away, leaving only Du Rong alone, lying on the ground in a semi-conscious state. He heard everything that had been said by the people who had been here before, but he couldn't lift a finger except for his mind and consciousness.
At this time, a thin figure ran over, also a young man, but he was dressed in coarse linen clothes and Du Rong.
The visitor glanced at the embarrassed Du Rong on the ground and sighed helplessly. Then he carefully lifted him up and carried him on his back. Walk to a remote corner of Yan Mansion, that location is where the people of Yan Mansion live.
It's just that the young man who carried the person was too thin, and the weight of the two of them was a little overwhelmed, step by step and faltering, walking very slowly.
"...... With goodness, you ...... You'd better put me down, be seen, and be ...... It's not good for you. ”
Durong's faint and somewhat slurred voice came from behind the young man's ears.
"Don't talk, I need to go back and bandage you quickly, if you don't deal with it well, there will be some sequelae. This place has made a fuss for them, and the others have already scared away, and no one can see that I can help you, don't worry. The boy replied.
The young man who rushed over to save people was named Cui Yishan, who was also a subordinate, and he was the only friend of Durong in the huge Yan Mansion.
It seems that on the back of his friend, Du Rong can finally let down his guard and fall asleep deeply.
The pale blue light, which gathered from all around the courtyard into a glowing blue spot, was ingested by his forehead, and under the radiation of the light, the appearance of his forehead also became hazy and unreal. The skin wounds on Du Rong's body were all quietly healed little by little, except for the residual blood scabs, the ferocious beating seemed to have never happened.
It's just a beautiful dreamscape that was temporarily generated, and Cui Yishan under him didn't notice it, so he staggered towards the destination with a piece of starlight on his back.
