Nie Feng didn't know how far he had run, and he only had one thought in his heart: "The farther I run, the safer it is, I must live well, save my great-grandfather, and avenge my family." ”

At this time, Nie Feng's clothes were soaked with sweat all over his body, and he felt thirsty. So he walked down a hollow in the jungle to see if he could find a drink of water.

Walking carelessly, the foot slipped, and the whole person rolled down the mountain hollow. Suddenly, Nie Feng felt his body hanging in the air, falling all the way. Nie Feng thought to himself, "Am I going to die like this?" Before Nie Feng came back to his senses, his whole body fell to the ground fiercely; And I didn't have anything to do. I just felt like I was lying on the soft mud, and it was a little sticky.

After a while, a fishy smell choked Nie Feng. When Nie Feng opened his eyes, there were thousands of bats hanging above his head. Nie Feng thought to himself, "Could it be that I fell into a bat cave?" ”

At this time, Nie Feng felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

It's too late, it's too soon. Just when Nie Feng felt that he was about to suffocate. Suddenly, a white shadow flew over and lifted Nie Feng up with one hand; With a tap of his toes, he flew away from the pool of.

"In the end, it's a human or a ghost, how can you have such good kung fu." Nie Feng thought to himself, and involuntarily opened his eyes and looked.

I saw an old man with gray hair, a gray beard, a ruddy face, and a white robe. He carried Nie Feng for a while, and then arrived at a large cave hall. The old man gently put Nie Feng down and asked, "Young man, are you not injured?" Go to the pool over there and wash the bat droppings off your body. Without waiting for Nie Feng to answer, the old man muttered again: "If it weren't for the bat dung more than a meter deep under the entrance of the cave, your little life would have reported to Lord Yama earlier." ”

Nie Feng now understood why he didn't die, it turned out that he fell on bat dung; And at the critical moment, it was the old man who saved himself.

Nie Feng didn't care about the smell on his body, and hurriedly bowed down to the old man and said, "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the seniors; Please bow down to me Nie Feng. ”

"Oh, your name is Nie Feng, right? It's a little thing, go and clean your body; Do you want to smoke the old man to death? The old man said with a smile.

Nie Fengjun's face was slightly red, he smiled, and hurriedly walked to the edge of the pool; Wash your body well.

"Put it on, see that your figure is similar to the old man's, it should also fit." The old man brought some clothes and threw them to Nie Feng and said.

Nie Feng got dressed and asked, "Senior, where is this?" How do I honor my seniors? ”

"You can just call me Mu Qiyun or Old Man Mu. I haven't interacted with people in more than a decade. Mu Qiyun then replied: "I don't know what this place is called, just think it's a bat cave!" ”

When Nie Feng heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Mu, have you always lived here?" ”

"yes, where do you think I should live?" Mu Qiyun said with a happy smile.

Nie Feng looked at the kind Mu Qiyun, and couldn't help but think of his great-grandfather, his grandfather and parents who died tragically; Tears fell 'whoosh'.

Seeing this, Mu Qiyun hurriedly asked, "Is Xiaofeng homesick?" ”

Nie Feng nodded slightly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to another cave hall to have something to eat, and we will talk while eating." After speaking, he took Nie Feng's hand and walked inside.

This cave hall is where Mu Qiyun lives, and there is only a stone bed, a stone platform, a small stove made of stones, a few daily clothes, and so on.

Nie Feng asked curiously, "Senior Mu, what do you usually eat?" ”

"Wild game and wild fruits in the mountains sometimes eat bats at the entrance of the cave." After speaking, Mu Qiyun pointed to the bat meat in the pot.

"Xiaofeng, why did you come here?" Mu Qiyun asked curiously.

Nie Feng took a sip of the soup and told Mu Qiyun what happened at home. After saying that, tears fell involuntarily.

Mu Qiyun comforted softly: "Feng'er, remember, men don't flick when they have tears." Mu Qiyun then said: "Feng'er, since we are destined, you will live here from now on, and I will teach you all my life's kung fu." At my age, I can accept you as my only heir; It will also help you get revenge later. I've lived my life in vain. ”

When Nie Feng heard this, he knelt down excitedly and said, "Master, please accept the apprenticeship, I must learn my skills seriously and diligently, and avenge the tragic death." ”

Mu Qiyun picked up Nie Feng and said sternly: "Good boy, this is like an ambitious man." Then Mu Qiyun said kindly: "Feng'er, come and eat a piece of bat meat, the bat --- the cloud of "Li's Materia Medica", that is, the heavenly rat; Youyun often eats a small amount to calm the liver and eyes, detoxify, relieve cough and asthma. ”

Nie Feng asked while eating, "Master, how long have you been living in this bat cave?" ”

Mu Qiyun took a bite of meat and slowly talked about his past.

It turned out that Mu Qiyun was the last group of imperial guards in the last years of the Qing Dynasty. Ten years before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Mu Qiyun was unaccustomed to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, and lost power and humiliated the country. Therefore, it was decided not to assist the Qing regime. He took the opportunity to leave the palace.

Back then, the one who was called the 'Jade Flute Scholar' was Mu Qiyun, and the weapon he used was a white jade flute.

After leaving the palace, he looked for secluded places everywhere to live in seclusion, and one day, when he passed through the mountains and forests, he found that there were many hares here; Wanting to catch one to eat, he chased the hare; As he was about to shoot at one of the hares, suddenly, the hare disappeared without a trace.

Mu Qiyun searched carefully, but he didn't see the shadow of a hare, but he accidentally found a hole. He flew in and found that the cliff wall at the entrance of the cave was covered with bats. The hare had fallen on bat droppings and was struggling with it.

Mu Qiyun jumped over the bat dung pit and entered the cave with a trick of 'dragonfly water', only to see that there was a dark river inside, and the water quality was clear.

At that time, Mu Qiyun fell in love with the Bat Cave and decided to live in seclusion here. In his spare time, he practiced and played the flute in the cave. When he was hungry, he used the vines hanging at the entrance of the cave to fly out of the cave and look for hares and wild fruits to eat. Sometimes bat meat is also eaten.

Who knew that fifteen years had passed since he lived, and Mu Qiyun had changed from a little old man in his fifties to a white-haired grandfather in his seventies now.

After Mu Qiyun finished talking about his past, he flew to a big rock, only to see his jade flute wave, and in a flash, the surface of the big stone was flat. A new stone bed was made.

Nie Feng was dumbfounded, and secretly decided: "One day, I have to be as powerful as my master in order to avenge my family." ”

Mu Qiyun smiled and said, "Feng'er, you will sleep in this bed at night." ”

At night, Nie Feng lay on the stone bed, tossing and turning, thinking of his great-grandfather's uncertain life and death, and thinking of his grandfather, Uncle Wang and his parents who died tragically. How can I learn the skills to avenge them! I feel sad and blamed myself.

At this time, the master interrupted his thoughts and said, "Feng'er, don't think too much, go to bed early, right?" ”

Nie Feng answered the master, slowly closed his eyes again, and thought of his cute and charming cousin ------ Bai Lin'er in a daze.
