In the dead of night, Xuantian didn't go to rest, and after being reprimanded by Xiao Hongfei, the burning heart in his heart was aroused. He held a wooden stick in his hand, exuding fiery red true qi all over his body, and sat motionless on the rock, feeling the point where his true qi connected with the wooden stick.

The moon was exceptionally bright that night, accompanied by so many dazzling stars, so Xuantian didn't feel lonely and still persevered. Xiao Hongfei saw that Xuantian was still cultivating there at the entrance of the cave, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This kid really didn't disappoint me." ”

Xuantian had been sitting on this rock for more than two hours, and how many times he wanted to stand up and walk, or look up to the sky and shout, but he couldn't help it. He silently said in his heart: "I must persevere, I must endure loneliness, endure my temperament, and I can't let Master down." ”

Xuantian sat motionless until early in the morning, and Xiao Hongfei saw that Xuantian had not moved, so he walked towards Xuantian lightly, wanting to help him. But what Xiao Hongfei didn't expect was that when he was about to walk to Xuantian's side, he suddenly heard Xuantian shouting, all the true qi on his body disappeared, and a jumper jumped into the air. Xiao Hongfei saw Xuantian holding a wooden stick wrapped in red true qi in his hand, and threw it at this rock, only to hear the bang, this rock was beaten in half by Xuantian with a stick and flew to both sides.

One of the gravels was being smashed towards Xiao Hongfei, but Xiao Hongfei easily dodged it, Xiao Hongfei saw Xuan Tian kneeling on the ground panting, and immediately ran to his side, sending the true qi of fire into his body.

After transporting the true qi of fire, Xuan Tiancai slowly eased his breath, looked at Xiao Hongfei happily and said, "Master, I succeeded, I succeeded." ”

Xiao Hongfei gave Xuantian a thumbs up, "It is worthy of being my apprentice." ”

Just when Xuantian was practicing desperately, Yu Yi was also on his way back to Huasheng Temple. Along the way, Yu Yi thought a lot, he never thought that it was not those demons and monsters who slaughtered his village, but humans, humans like him. He couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with his father when he was a child.

At that time, Yu Yi was only six years old, and this night was the busiest time in every family in Taoyuan Village, because tonight was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was the day when the family gathered together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Yu Yi's family is no exception, and the family eats together happily.

After a while, Yu Yi suddenly heard a crackling sound outside, although Yu Yi was still young, but he vaguely remembered that at this time of year, he would hear this sound. Yu Yi saw his father walking out the door with a lump of red things in his arms.

Yu Yi ran over, hugged Yu Laohan, and said with a smile: "Dad, what are you going to do?" I'm going too. ”

Old Man Yu touched Yu Yi's head and said kindly: "Dad is going to scare the monsters, just stay at home for a little child, and the monsters will eat you children." ”

"Youkai, what is a youkai?" Yu Yi pouted and looked at Old Man Yu.

"I'll tell you when Daddy comes back, if it's any longer, the monster will rush into our house."

After hearing this, Yu Yi's heart trembled, and he immediately let go of Yu Laohan, "Dad! Then go and scare the monster away, and don't let it burst into our house. ”

Yu Laohan smiled and said to Yu Yi: "Okay! Daddy, I'm going. After saying that, Yu Yi immediately walked out the door.

After a while, Yu Yi heard the crackling sound at the door again, Yu Yi climbed to the window to take a look, only to see the fire outside the door, very dazzling, "Is this what can scare away monsters?" Yu Yi said to himself.

Yu Laohan walked into the room and saw Yu Yi climbing on the window looking at the firecrackers outside, and laughed twice: "How is it, is it beautiful?" ”

Yu Yi turned his head, and when he saw his father coming back, he ran over excitedly, "Dad! What does that youkai look like! ”

"Daddy, how does Daddy know what that monster looks like?"

Yu Yi pouted, a lost expression on his face, "Didn't you go to scare the monsters?" ”

Old Man Yu smiled and hugged Yu Yi on his lap, "This is a legend." ”

"Legends, what legends!"

"Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a monster called "Nian", which was bigger than a cow and more fierce than a tiger, and would wake up every thirty years of the Chinese New Year's Eve and go to the world to eat people. But that youkai has a weakness and is afraid of the sound of red and firecrackers, so every year during the festival, firecrackers are fired, and when the youkai hears it, he doesn't dare to come to the village.

"Why does that youkai eat people!" Yu Yi looked at Old Man Yu suspiciously.

"Yi'er, you have to remember that the hearts of those monsters are made of stone, and they can do anything. So if you encounter a monster in the future, don't hesitate, just run away, remember! ”

"Where did all those youkai come from?"

Old Man Yu smiled and touched his beard, "Those monsters are all made by those livestock, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and cultivating for many years. But don't worry, those demons are now blocked from the west, and they can't reach us. ”

Thinking of this, Yu Yi sighed deeply and said to himself: "The heart of the demon is made of stone, hurting and eating people everywhere, what about our hearts?" Just for the sake of a sword, killing so many people indiscriminately, how is this kind of behavior different from those demons? ”

When Master Kongdu Chan heard Yu Yi's words, he was very happy in his heart, "This kid has a clear distinction between good and evil, I must guide him well, and don't let him go astray."

Zen Master Kongdu didn't say anything along the way, because he felt that the time was not ripe enough, and Yu Yi didn't ask anything, just thinking about it in distress alone.

Time was like an arrow, and Yu Yi felt that it hadn't been long before he had returned to the Huasheng Temple.

As soon as Yu Yi and Zen Master Kongdu entered the temple gate, they saw another small monk running towards them in a hurry. The little monk ran to Master Kongdu, clasped his hands together and said, "Abbot, you are back, a female benefactor has been waiting in the temple for many days. ”

Zen Master Kongdu frowned slightly, "Oh! What's the matter with that benefactor? ”

"She said she came to find Senior Brother Yu Yi."

After hearing this, Yu Yi hurriedly asked, "Where is the female benefactor now?" ”

"Rest in the guest room!"

"Take me there." Yu Yi pulled the little monk and hurriedly ran to the guest room.

The little monk brought Yu Yi to the door of the room, and Yu Yi wanted to rush in immediately, but after thinking about it calmly, it was too impolite. So he knocked lightly on the door, "Please come in!" A familiar voice came into Yu Yi's ears.

Yu Yi pushed the door open, and a familiar figure entered his eyeballs. The girl turned around, dressed in black, with long hair, and her skin, although not very white, could not hide her beautiful face.

"Xinyan!" Yu Yi looked at the girl in front of him and screamed lightly.

"Brother Yi!" Xinyan saw Yu Yi standing in front of her alive, tears of relief flowed from her lovely melon seeds, and she threw herself into Yu Yi's arms like the wind.

"Brother Yi, I knew it would be fine."
