Chapter 10 Purple Jade Pendant, the Mystery of Origin
Saying goodbye to Tang San, Xu Ran went straight home.
Although he tried his best to cover up the wounds on his body after returning home, he was still bumped into by Old Jack during a dressing change, and saw the blood-stained cloth strips crisscrossing Xu Ran's body, Old Jack was shocked.
Under his constant questioning, Xu Ran could only tell the ins and outs of the matter.
Carefully stroking the wounds on Xu Ran's body, Old Jack half-squatted on the ground and silently shed tears.
"Xiao Ran, it's all to blame grandpa for being incompetent and failing to give you a better living environment, even such a thing as hunting soul rings can only be done by a six-year-old child alone, and I, an old guy who walked into the coffin with half a foot, can't help at all."
Hurriedly helped Grandpa Jack up, wiped his tears with his hand, and comforted him, "Grandpa, you don't have to blame yourself, if you hadn't picked me up at the beginning, maybe I would have turned into a handful of loess by this time, let alone successfully obtained the first soul ring." You raised me with great painstaking efforts, which can be regarded as giving me a second life, so you are absolutely indispensable to me in getting this soul ring. ”
"Besides, cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if I am timid, pursue comfort, and waste my martial soul talent, I guess this is not what you want to see, right?"
"That's the way it is, but grandpa...... Alas! ”
Sighing deeply, Old Jack didn't finish the words in his mouth after all, he first helped Xu Ran change the dressing and bandage again, and then killed an old hen to restore Xu Ran's body.
Looking at the pot of hot chicken soup on the table, Xu Ran was moved in his heart.
Although the three old hens in the family were usually raised by Old Jack, the eggs laid by the wicked woman were taken away by the wicked woman, and if she knew that Old Jack had killed the chicken and stewed soup for herself, she would be furious.
The wicked woman doesn't dare to do anything to herself now, but when she is not there, she may treat Old Jack badly.
Although Old Jack couldn't say it to himself, he could think of these questions.
"It seems that you must beat that wicked woman before leaving."
The meal ended quickly, the grandfather and grandson were very full, and a large pot of chicken soup was drunk by Xu Ran at all, and Xu Ran expressed his next plan at the dinner table.
To his surprise, old Jack was stunned for a moment when he heard that he was going out on an adventure alone, and then nodded his head in agreement.
Just told him to pay attention to safety outside, protect himself, and come back when he is homesick.
After tidying up the table, Old Jack took out a cloth bag from the hole in the inner room and carefully blew the dust off it.
When opened, there was a purple jade pendant and a yellowed note.
"Xiao Ran, these are the only two things you had around when I first found you, it may be related to your life experience, I didn't want to give it to you so early, but since you're going out for a wandering, I don't know when I'll be able to come back, I think it's better to take it with you."
"My background?"
With curiosity, Xu Ran took the two things in his hand, although the note had been yellowed, but the handwriting on it was indeed very clear, and I saw that the two delicate small characters of "Xu Ran" were very neat, and they were from a woman's hand at a glance.
Look at the jade pendant again, the shape is like a small arch bridge, the surface is smooth, the hand is cold, the inside is crystal clear, there are no impurities, even in the dim light, the surface of the jade pendant is faintly fluorescent, and it is not ordinary at a glance.
Although Xu Ran had also thought about who his biological parents were before, he only remembered it occasionally when he was bored, and he didn't get too entangled, at this moment, the jade pendant was in his hands, and a feeling of blood connection traveled all over his body, as if this jade pendant was a part of his body.
This not only reminded Xu Ran of his life experience again.
Judging from this jade pendant alone, his family should be very extraordinary, and combined with the small note, it is not difficult to speculate that something should have happened to his family, and his mother was forced to abandon himself at the entrance of the village.
"This plot is really familiar, but I have to say that my parents who have never known each other make me very curious."
"The enemy is chasing and killing? The family was destroyed? ”
"Heh, I'm such a cold-blooded animal, and I don't have much turmoil in my heart."
Maybe it's because of the reason that he came over, Xu Ran has no memory of his parents in his impression, so now he thinks of these things just curiously.
As for family affection, he didn't have too deep feelings about it.
The only concern in my heart is the old Jack who raised himself.
Putting the jade pendant and the note into the storage ring, Old Jack had already entered the inner room to rest, empty his mind, and Xu Ran began his meditation practice all night.
A week later, the wound on Xu Ran's body was healed, because he was worried that Old Jack would not give up, early in the morning, before dawn, Xu Ran left ten bags of gold soul coins at the head of Old Jack's bed.
It's just that he didn't know that not long after he went out, Old Jack stood at the door in his coat, looking at the direction he was leaving with a look of loss.
"I knew there would be this day for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly."
"Xiao Ran, grandpa is waiting for you in the Holy Soul Village, waiting for the day when you will be famous in the Douluo Continent."
"Ahem, ahem, my old bones, I hope to wait until that day."
……
Noah's Forest is located outside Deacon City, which is adjacent to Notting City, the area is not large, and there are no strong soul beasts, but because of the fertile water and soil here, the climate is suitable, and the forest is densely packed with spiritual materials, and the number of soul beasts is surprisingly large, and the types are very rich.
The attraction of precious spiritual materials coupled with the relatively small danger when hunting for soul rings, naturally, Noah's Forest attracted a lot of soul masters, and some family young masters and college students even regarded it as their own back garden, whenever they needed to break through the soul power level, they would be led by elders or teachers, and low-level soul rings were simply easy for them to obtain.
December 18 is the city's own festival, the annual Snow Fall Festival arrives, and the men, women and children of all cities come out of their homes, dressed in costumes, and throw snowballs at each other to express their heartfelt wishes.
It was also on this day that a young man in a black robe stepped out of the south gate of Deakin City, stepped on the thick snow, and walked towards Noah's Forest.
Time flies like a white horse, spring goes to autumn, and six years have passed in a blink of an eye......
On this day, in the heart of Noah's Forest, a shirtless teenager sat cross-legged on a towering tree.
The boy was slightly dark-skinned, 1.7 meters tall, with short hair swaying gently in the breeze, and there were three obvious scars on his upper body, one on his right chest, one on his waist, and one almost through his back.
Slowly opening his eyes, the boy treated the wounds on his body briefly, then changed into clothes and jumped lightly from a ten-meter-high tree.
He pushed aside the grass, and in front of him lay a middle-aged man with a broken head, without any scruples, as if facing a dead pig, the boy groped around the corpse for a while, and soon found a copper token.
The token is only half the size of a palm, the shape is a rectangle with rounded corners, there is almost no weight to start, there is a big killing word on the front, a butterfly with wings spread on the back, and a string of numbers at the bottom of the token, which reads "0048".
Looking at the bronze token in his hand, the boy immediately took out another token from the storage ring, except for the number at the bottom, the two tokens were exactly the same.
"Heh, Li family, the last account hasn't been settled, I really can't be bullied."
Putting the token away, the boy's eyes erupted with a gleam.
The boy was twelve-year-old Xu Ran, and the two tokens he got were from the same organization.
blood butterfly,
A killer organization spread across the continent.
