Chapter I. Phoenix-perched sycamore
The ancient mountains are endless, the mountains are majestic and upright, among the mountains and ravines, wild beasts and monsters are rampant, and there is a faint green smoke rising in this vast and uninhabited mountain range. Looking at the place where the smoke rose, a huge towering plane tree stood in the middle, and the branches of the plane tree were luxuriant, like a big umbrella guarding the whole village under the tree, and a thin mist floated around the tree, making the whole village look like it was bathed in a fairyland.
It seems that there are only about 20 households in the whole village, and the houses are all built of sturdy giant trees, which are integrated with the entire plane tree, and bursts of beast roars come from afar, but they dare not step into the vicinity of the plane tree for half a step, as if it is just a forbidden place, prohibiting all demon beasts from entering.
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky over the village, the wind raged, the ground shook, and the strong air pressure made the monsters on the ground tremble. The sky that had been darkened was now pitch black, and a whirlpool as wide as a hundred miles was formed in the black clouds, and the ground in the center of this whirlpool was a huge plane tree. A huge black object slowly emerged from the whirlpool, and as the black object slowly revealed its true face, it was a black tower as big as a mountain, the body of the tower was black and smooth, exuding a luster like moonlight, this luster seemed to come from the Yellow Spring, which made people look frightened. It turned out that this huge whirlpool and strong pressure all came from this black tower, the ground was turned upside down by this powerful suction, and the birds and beasts within a hundred miles were swept into the air by this huge suction, and the birds and beasts in the sky struggled desperately in the wind, but no matter how they struggled, they were sucked like flies like black towers, but the huge plane tree on the ground did not move at all, and then a fire light rose from the plane tree with a crisp birdsong. A ten-foot firebird floats in the air, full of colorful flames.
"It's worthy of a phoenix perched on a sycamore!" a deep voice came from the clouds.
"It's really worth it, this beast belongs to me. Then another voice came from the air. Then, a giant hand that covered the sky reached out from the black clouds and grabbed the giant bird that was in flames all over its body.
The giant bird kept waving its wings, and spit out a flame from its mouth to hit the giant palm, and the scorching flames printed the entire sky into blood red, but the giant hand seemed to be unaffected in the flames, and grabbed the fiery giant bird, only to hear a miserable birdsong.
"Boom... There was a loud bang, and the fire rained down all over the sky.
"Hey... A long sigh.
"Hehe, the wild beast has its own arrogance, and would rather expose itself than be convinced, forget it! ”
"That's it!"
Another giant hand poked out of the black cloud, and this time the two giant hands struck left and right around the hundred-foot-high giant tree.
"Boom... In the huge earthquake, a hundred-zhang high plane tree rose from the ground, and the huge branches and leaves covered the sky and the sun, but it was such a huge plane tree that shrank smaller and smaller in front of the black tower, until it was completely sucked into the black tower.
A few months later, somewhere in the forest, two women, three men and five young boys and girls were hunting demon beasts. "Let's go a little further inside! here are just some of the lowest-level black demon pigs. A teenager said.
"Senior Brother Rong, this wild forest is extremely dangerous, and the master has repeatedly instructed us to only enter the outer circle for a hundred miles. The woman who spoke was a woman with beautiful appearance, bright eyes, a slender figure, and black hair and a shawl, and the woman looked fifteen or sixteen years old, although she was still an adult, but her budding breasts had risen high, and she already had a bit of the charm of a mature woman.
"Senior Sister Mu is too worried, we have the life-saving magic weapon given by our master, even if a third-order demon appears, we can escape, and we are only entering fifty miles, and we will be fine. ”
"Yes, how can there be something wrong with Senior Brother Rong!" A handsome woman next to her echoed, this woman was slightly shorter than the woman who spoke just now, looking at this handsome senior brother surnamed Rong, her eyes were full of affection, and she was fascinated.
"Yes, Senior Sister Mu, Shizun let us come out to practice, it's been three days, except for beating two black demon pigs, there is nothing to gain, and this place has already been cleaned up. The other two teenagers chimed in.
"Okay! With our cultivation, we can only enter fifty miles at most, so be careful. The woman had no choice but to agree to continue to go deeper.
As it continues to go deeper, the probability of encountering demon beasts is also increasing, and there are more and more first-order demon beasts such as black demon pigs, mountain spirit deer, and horned wolves.
"Ding Dong" fought for a while, this senior brother surnamed Rong became more and more courageous, he held a sharp long sword majestic, so he was not angry.
"Brother Rong is awesome. ”
"Senior Sister Wan has won the award, but fortunately, there is this Bing Shangfeng Spirit Sword given by the master, otherwise I would have to waste some hands and feet. "The spiritual artifact is divided into heaven and earth Xuanhuang, which are divided into low-grade, medium-grade and high-grade.
"Senior Brother Rong is really envious of you, we still only have a low-grade spirit weapon, if anyone can give me one, I can do anything. The woman surnamed Wan said with a hint of hint in her words, and everyone looked at this senior brother surnamed Rong with envy.
Looking at the envious eyes of everyone, this senior brother surnamed Rong gained a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Senior Sister Wan, as long as you cultivate well, when you reach the late stage of Qi refining, the master will definitely reward you, if not, Senior Brother will give you a handful. ”
"Really! Then Wan'er thanked her senior brother first. ”
"Senior Sister Mu, you're about to be in the late stage of Qi refining!" the young man looked at the tall woman surnamed Mu with admiration on her face.
"Ah, it's almost time to go back to this experience, and you should be able to break through to the late stage. The girl replied lightly, and there was no joy or sorrow on her face.
"Whew!" a loud roar startled the hearts of the few people who were chatting, and then the ground trembled slightly.
"Hurry up, this roar is unusual. The girl surnamed Mu reminded everyone that they suddenly woke up and retreated, but it was too late a blue-faced and fanged two-headed wolf had come to the front, the two-headed wolf was different from the horned wolf, the horned wolf is a group of monster beasts, generally in groups of three or five, and the combat power is relatively low, and the two-headed wolf is several times the size of the horned wolf, usually likes to act alone, and it is its nature to kill, looking at the two-headed wolf with sharp teeth and drool, several people were cold, this is an adult two-headed demon wolf.
"Third-order demon beast, it's over. ”
"Senior Brother Rong, let's block this demon beast, and you guys hurry up and run separately. The girl surnamed Mu said that she had pulled out two two-foot short swords, and this girl actually used double swords.
"Okay, you guys go quickly, senior sister, let's go. The senior brother surnamed Rong said so on his lips but he already had a retreat in his heart, and his steps had slowed down when he drew his sword and rushed forward, at this time the girl surnamed Mu had already rushed to the double-headed demon wolf with her arms facing back, this action was the sword technique "cross strangulation" used by the double sword cultivators, and the girl's wrist turned and the double sword cut off one of the heads.
"Senior Brother Rong, hurry up, I'll leave the other one to you. "The girl is in a hurry.
"Senior sister, you take it first, I'll go back and call someone. The young man surnamed Rong quickly retreated into the forest behind him.
"Whew... The double sword of the woman surnamed Mu was bitten by a wolf's head, and the two pairs of red eyes of the two-headed wolf stared at the prey in front of her, and her eyes were full of playfulness and disdain.
"Bang... Another wolf flicked its head and knocked the girl directly to the ground, and the girl spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the distance, the young man surnamed Rong heard the beast's roar, glanced back, and continued to flee.
"Senior sister, don't blame me, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, these third-order demon beasts are not something we can deal with. ”
The girl surnamed Mu clenched her silver teeth, she was hit by the two-headed wolf and her internal organs were shattered, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out, it was clear that the injury was not light, the girl was lying on the ground weakly, she stared at the two-headed demon wolf. "Looks like I'm going to die here," the girl said secretly
The two-headed wolf walked slowly towards the girl, saliva flowed from his mouth, the third-order demon beast already had quite a lot of intelligence, it was fooling, mocking, and intimidating the other party, it liked this process very much. The girl closed her eyes helplessly, waiting for her death.
"Boom... However, what was waiting was a loud noise, and I saw the two-headed demon wolf lying on the ground and dead, and could not die anymore. On the body of the demon wolf stood a burly man, a very tall man, with dark skin, brown hair, brown eyes, and a child in one hand.
"Hands, no, this is clearly a bear's paw, a big demon, a shapeshifting demon, the woman was shocked, why, why is there a shapeshifting demon on the periphery. The girl held her breath, knowing that this burly man could kill himself with the touch of a finger.
The man ignored her, he put a hand into the head of the two-headed wolf and pulled out a white object the size of a small egg, the girl knew that this was a third-order demon beast's demon pill.
The man threw the demon pill directly in front of the girl's eyes with a flick of his hand. The girl looked at this demon pill full of spiritual power, and looked at the man in front of her with a puzzled expression.
"Terran female cultivator, how about the deity want to make a deal with you?"
"Before, the seniors could tell me anything, and the little girl would do her best if she could do it. ”
The man looked at the child in his hand and held it to the girl, who hurriedly held it in his arms with all her might.
"Well, you're much kinder than those little dolls just now. ”
Hearing the man's words, the girl's heart sank: "Could it be that this big demon was already here just now! What does he want to do?"
"This boy, please bring him to live with the Terrans!"
"Brought to the Terrans, could this child also be transformed, if so, this is a great sin of colluding with demon beasts!" the girl said as she looked at the eight or nine-year-old boy who was in a coma.
"Rest assured, he's a child of your Terrans. The man seemed to read what the girl was thinking, and continued.
"Terran child, why is he in this wild forest, his parents!"
"Dead. ”
"I see, senior rest assured that I will take good care of him. ”
"You just take him away, and it has nothing to do with this seat whether he is dead or alive in the future. ”
"It's seniors. ”
"This fruit is for your journey. The man didn't know where to find a green fruit and threw it to the girl.
The girl caught the fruit, it was a turquoise fruit shaped like a small gourd, and the girl could feel the faint spiritual power emanating from the fruit in her hand.
"This, is this the Bihu fruit, the spirit fruit that is said to be able to wash the marrow and veins, this kind of legendary thing really exists. The girl's excited jade hands kept trembling.
"Alright, that's it, let's leave it at that!" said the man, who was about to leave.
"Senior!" the girl suddenly shouted.
"What?"
"What's the child's name?"
"I don't know," the man walked a few steps and then stopped.
"His surname is Wu," said the man, and he never looked back.
"He knows the boy," the girl said secretly. The girl checked the boy's pulse and found that he had just fainted from hunger.
In the distance, the man watched the girl carry the boy away step by step.
"This girl is very smart, and she actually tempted me, but she is kind-hearted and accepted my gift, so she should take good care of him! ”
A month later, a girl from Xuantian Sect broke through to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, and a year later, the girl broke through the Qi Condensation Realm and directly became an inner disciple, becoming the fastest disciple to advance to the Qi Condensing Realm in a hundred years, which alarmed the top level of Xuantian Sect.
At the same time, a ten-year-old boy in the secular Mu family was reading and learning with an old man, and the boy was very serious in learning, and he had gradually adapted to the life in the outside world over the years.
"Third young master, look, this wild boy really regards himself as a young master, and he has eaten and drunk nothing in the Mu family for the past year. ”
"Hmph, isn't it the wild boy who picked it up, Mu Linger actually gave him one of her recommendations, I really don't know what is good about this kid. "The master and the servant who spoke were Mu Yufan, the son of the three elders of the Mu family, and Liu Quan, the housekeeper, Mu Yufan was thirteen years old and refined the fifth layer of the body, and he was already a genius in the same year.
"Young master, why don't we find someone to give him... Liu Quan made a clicking gesture.
"No, if you let Mu Ling know about this, you have to peel my skin. ”
"Then this quota is over?"
"Count, of course not, anyway, there are still three years to go, as long as he is allowed to "have a good time" in these three years, he will naturally leave by himself. ”
"The young master is wise, and the admiration of his subordinates for the young master is like a surging river... ”
"Okay, don't be a sycophant, let the teacher not come from tomorrow, you can arrange some sundries for him to do, remember to take your time, don't rush too much. ”
"Come on, young master, just look at it!"
The next day, Liu Quan dismissed Mr. Teach.
"Wuyi! You see that you have been in the Mu family for a long time, the Mu family has never raised idlers, even the young master has to practice martial arts every day, you will go to the backyard from today to help fetch water, chop wood or something. Wu means that Mu Linger got the name for the boy, and when the shapeshifter demon said that the boy's surname was Wu, she named the boy, which means strong will, implying that the boy should live strongly, even if he is alone. In order not to make people suspicious, Mu Ling sent the boy to Mu's house to take care of, when he first arrived at Mu's house, Wuyi didn't understand what the other party said, and he didn't understand what the other party said, people thought he was talking nonsense, and didn't care that Wuyi said an ancient language, people thought he learned the words of beasts, plus he was picked up by chance in Mu Linglin, so secretly people said that he was a wild man.
