Chapter 1: A Boy in the Mountains
"Hey, old man, get up and eat!" said a young man in the mountains, in a simple but sturdy bamboo hut, beating the wooden stick in his hand, grinning at the old man lying on the bed.
The boy was dressed in a linen shirt, and the chest of the shirt seemed to have been scratched by the claws of a wild beast, revealing his strong muscles. And then there was a smug expression on his slightly immature face.
The old man on the bed opened his eyes a little tiredly and looked at the young man in front of him, a smile flashing in his cloudy eyes. The young man in front of him is also more and more satisfying to him.
"It's coming!"
Watching the old man get up, the young man smiled, and jumped out of the bamboo house with an arrow step.
The old man moved slightly, slowly got out of bed, and followed the boy out of the bamboo house. A ray of sunlight shone through the rich trees on the old man's face, revealing a somewhat gentle color.
Raising his slightly dull eyes, the old man yawned and looked around at the woods that he was familiar with.
It has been two years since he entered this Soul Burial Mountain Range, and after these two years of tempering, his apprentice finally has the appearance of a normal person.
Looking at the busy teenager in front of him, the old man stroked his beard, and a smile appeared on the wrinkled old face.
"It's time. The old man said in his heart.
"Give!"
Just as the old man was in reverie, the young man raised a wooden stick with a pork leg in his hand and handed it to the old man, and the other hand did not forget to gnaw on the pork leg in his hand. Looking at this scene, the old man reluctantly took the pig's leg, shook his head, and gnawed it up.
"How is it?" There was a hint of anticipation in his voice, and the young man looked at the old man who was gnawing on the pork leg expectantly.
"Hmm... It tastes good," the old man said with a little surprise as if he had heard the boy's expectation.
"Hehe!" Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and laughed, because the old man in front of him was extremely picky, and he didn't suffer less. Although the young man was picky in his mouth, he had been practicing barbecue skills for more than half a month.
Looking at the young man who was proud of his evaluation, a trace of relief flashed in the old man's eyes. Some of the former's temperament has been honed in the past few years, and they are also hidden in their bones and are not easily revealed.
"Kong Xuan, there is no need for you to stay in this mountain range, go down the mountain. The old man looked at the pork leg that he had eaten in his hand and said.
"Down the mountain?"
Hearing this, the young man was slightly stunned, and his deep eyes stared at the old man, waiting for the latter's answer.
"Everything I can teach you has been taught. But there are no more eagles under the wings of the eagle. Although you have been tempered a lot over the years, you are still under my arms. Now it's up to you to go on your own, explore on your own, and then get stronger and prove what you want to prove. The old man said lightly.
"Indeed, over the years, everything has been arranged by the master, with the protection of the master, so that there will always be some support in the heart, and after a long time, it will become dependent. It's time to face it yourself..."Hearing this, Kong Xuan clenched his fists, and decided to have something in his heart.
"This...", as he spoke, the old man groped around his body a few times, took out a piece of jade pendant, flipped it in his hand, and threw it to Kong Xuan. "Going down the mountain from here, it should be Mocheng, Mocheng is the border city of Gujia Kingdom in this Soul Mountain Range, and entering Mocheng is Gujia's territory. This jade pendant, it is a token of the Jun family, the Jun family is the super family of the Gujia Kingdom, there are some things, you can rely on this, go to them for help. ”
The old man said a lot, and Kong Xuan only listened to a rough idea. Jun Jiakong Xuan didn't care too much, after all, looking at the old man's performance, this jade pendant seems to be some years old, and after such a long time, who knows if people still take it seriously...
"Hey, hey, later. It's your own business, old man, I can't help you. Remind you that from the moment you leave the mountain, everything is up to you, and no one will give you advice. Looking at the contemplative emptiness, the old man's face was full of banter.
"It's not a stupid boy who doesn't know anything, there are really not many people who can make you suffer. But I really want to thank that little girl, I don't know who it is, Xuan'er can change because of her, otherwise Xuan'er's inner world will be frozen forever, and even if she grows up in the future, she will kill ruthless people and lose her heart. Thinking of the little guy's helpless and happy expression at that time, as well as the reluctance to part, even I was surprised. Hehe, it's really a thing to a thing. As he spoke, he sighed again in his heart, and at last the old man laughed.
"Hey, stinky old man..."
The young man pursed the corners of his mouth, his eyes focused on the jade pendant in his hand, and the jade pendant came with a hint of warmth in his hand, only to see the word "Jun" in the middle of the jade pendant slowly generated... There are thunder and lightning fluctuations in the words!
"Huh?" This gentleman was obviously not there just now, and a trace of surprise flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes.
"This jade pendant is carved from a warm heart jade, and the influence of temperature will change the inside of the jade, and the Jun family is famous for its strong thunder attribute spiritual power, and this Jun character also represents the unique thunder spiritual power of the Jun family, since it is a token, it naturally has its characteristics. I had some friendship with the ancestor of the Jun family back then, and this jade pendant was also from him. Sensing Kongxuan's surprise, the old man said lightly.
Hearing the old man's words, Kong Xuan looked at the jade pendant in his hand again, and this time, Kong Xuan vaguely felt that this jade pendant might have other functions...
"Tomorrow, you will go out of the mountain..."After speaking, the old man silently turned around and walked towards the bamboo house, but the back was a little lonely.
"Are you leaving?" Looking at the old man's lonely back, Kongxuan's nose suddenly swelled with a sourness, blinked his slightly reddened eyes, and took a deep breath: "Teacher, I won't let you down..."
Early the next morning.
In the bamboo house, Kong Xuan finished washing, ate some spare dry food, and packed up the things to bring out in the bamboo house.
Stepping up his backpack and touching the spear standing in the corner, the young man smiled slightly: "Old man, it's time to go." With a flick of his wrist, he put the spear in the pouch behind his back.
The old man looked at the busy young man, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, no matter what, he accompanied him for ten years, and he ran for him for ten years.
Kong Xuan stepped out of the house, turned around and bowed deeply to the old man in the house: "Teacher, take care!"
Looking at the young man who was gradually disappearing, the old man's face was full of smiles..."I've grown up... The teacher believes in you, and there will be a day when you will become a strong man", after seeing the changes in the teenager, he never doubted it.
.........
The sun was scorching in the distant sky, and looking down from the sky without the slightest cloud, in the middle of a quiet forest, a huge black lizard like the trunk of an ancient tree was crawling slowly, and everywhere it went, the trees were staggered and broken, like the traces left by a giant python after crawling over the grass....
Just as the lizard was crawling, suddenly, a black shadow mixed with heavy force plunged into its head almost devastatingly, and after receiving a fatal blow, the lizard's body trembled violently a few times, and then stopped moving.
At this time, a young man dressed in linen clothes and carrying a huge burden slowly walked into this dense forest, casually pulled out the red tassel gun inserted in the lizard's head, and continued to walk around without looking back to the ground, with a little irritability in the young man's dark eyes.
"Stinky old man, you should show me the way..."
The young man scolded for a while, he had been away from the bamboo house for more than half a month, and there was not much dry food left on his body, if he hadn't caught some game here, he would probably starve to death here. In the past two years, I have been cultivating in the mountains, and the scope of cultivation is all pointed out by the old man. At this time, Kong Xuan once again realized that he lacked independence.
He thought that he was going in one direction, all the way down to Mocheng, but he went all the way for half a month, and he didn't go out, but he had a feeling of going around in one place all the time.
The Soul Burial Mountain Range is outrageously big, no one knows how big it is, Kong Xuan only knows that his location is the outer circle of the mountain range, and there are few high-level demonic beasts in its periphery, so for Kong Xuan, it will not be too dangerous, but these Sky Xuan also found that there seems to be something in this mountain range, which affects his sense of direction.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the young man's ears moved, and a small voice came into the empty ears.
"It's a human voice! Hahaha, it's a human voice!"
Knowing this sound, Kong Xuan's eyes lit up, he laughed loudly, inserted the spear in his hand into the gun pouch on his back, and his body bent slightly, quickly swept out in the direction from which the sound came.
As he approached the source of the sound, Kong Xuan slowed down, leaned himself against a nearby tree, tilted his head sideways, and looked at it with a little curiosity.
In Kongxuan's field of vision, I saw two groups of people confronting each other in a messy clearing...
