A gurgling sound woke up the sleeping Ye Ran. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I looked up, my vision gradually became clearer.

In a barren forest, the sky is hazy and snowy, and the sky is always dull, and it is impossible to tell the hour.

Under a huge old tree, a large iron pot with missing corners was boiling a pot full of mushrooms, and the soup was mixed with meat and chili peppers.

The pot was bubbling and bubbling, and there were two people squatting next to him.

The old man's hair was unkempt mixed with many gray hairs, his old face was full of wrinkles, and he was tinkering in the fire with a spoon in one hand and a burning stick in the other.

The boy added firewood to the side, occasionally sniffing the smell of food and pursing his lips.

Ye Ran leaned against the trunk of the tree, a complete black animal skin, covering him, the plush animal skin made people feel very warm.

"Ahem!" Ye Ran coughed.

The boy immediately noticed it, looked back and shouted happily: "Big brother, you are finally awake!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly brought a bowl of water and handed it to Ye Ran.

Ye Ran took the gray porcelain bowl, drank a bowl of water, and said, "Thank you." ”

His voice was a little hoarse, his short black hair still had a lot of dirt and wood chips left, and his face was covered with a layer of dust, and he looked very embarrassed.

The little boy heard him say thank you, and hurriedly waved his hand: "If it weren't for you, I would have been killed by those beasts, you are my benefactor, my name is Qianwang, eldest brother, you can call me Xiaoqian!" ”

Qianwang, a boy in his teens.

Ye Ran put down the porcelain bowl, looked up at the leaves like an umbrella cover, there were snowflakes falling outside, he lowered his head, barely showed a smile and said, "I didn't expect my life to be quite big, and I survived again." ”

"Yes, grandpa said you were the hardest person he'd ever met." Qianwang said with a grin.

The old man next to him put down the burning stick, picked up a dry tobacco pouch on the ground, inhaled hard, puffed out a puff of smoke, and looked back.

"Young man, thank you for saving my grandson." He took another sip of dry tobacco and said, "Old man Qianqiu, I don't know your surname? ”

When he spoke, his voice was calm, his face was very calm, and the whole person gave people the feeling of being unwavering.

"Ye Ran, thank you for saving my life." After saying that, Ye Ran half-squinted his eyes and said no more.

The old man waved his cigarette stick, "I didn't save you, you saved yourself." ”

Ye Ran looked puzzled, and the old man said slowly: "Your physique is very special. ”

As he spoke, he pondered for a moment, "Born to die, Nirvana Flame." After that, he looked at Ye Ran and said firmly: "Are you a descendant of Xuanniao?" ”

What Xuanniao? Ye Ran slowly recovered his spirits, and his face became more and more puzzled.

The old man looked at Ye Ran as if he didn't understand, and said in his heart, could it be that this kid didn't know his origin?

He immediately explained: "There is a purest Xuanniao bloodline hidden in your body, and the so-called Xuanniao is what the world calls the Vermilion Bird, Phoenix, or Qingluan. The Xuanniao clan has a saying that they are reborn from the ashes, and that ability, by some kind of coincidence, can bring people who are about to die back to life, and even awaken unknown abilities in the bloodline. ”

The premise of Nirvana is to be near death, but it must not hurt one's own vital points and death points, let alone be injured by sharp blades and powerful sword qi.

If you are transported by a master with a strong internal force, shake up the internal organs, defeat the meridians around the body, fall into a state of near death, and then be taken to a safe place, you only need to wait for twelve hours, and Nirvana will complete it on its own, repair all injuries, and even awaken your inner potential.

According to legend, Nirvana has a total of nine times, and if you can be reborn nine times, you can realize the ancient legend of the Xuanniao family, the phoenix dance for nine days!

"You know quite a bit!" Ye Ran hugged the animal skin and smiled faintly.

I was injured by the giant last night, and I only felt uncomfortable at that time, my chest seemed to be hollowed out, and my whole body was full of chaotic energy, and my life was worse than death.

And when I woke up today, except for some faint scars on the outside of my arms, there was no abnormality on my body, and even the sword wound I suffered a few days ago had healed.

Could it be that this is the so-called power of Nirvana, which has incredible power and brings the dead back to life?

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard Ye Ran's words, continued to smoke dry cigarettes, and said, "Haven't you heard of the Thousand Nights Tribe?" ”

Ye Ran had a bad feeling, he stretched out his hand and waved, "Don't talk too much, I don't want to cause trouble anymore." After that, Ye Ran looked at his hands blankly, these hands were stained with several lives.

It shouldn't be like this, the world shouldn't be like this.

The old man smiled, "You have a good nature, you can't see others doing evil, how can a person like you have the luxury of peace?" ”

"There is no absolute right and wrong in this world, killing is a sin in itself, what do you want to escape?"

The old man seemed to be doing homely things, and his tone was very casual, as if he had already looked down on life and death.

"You must be right to take the life of someone else with what you think is justice?"

"That's just hypocrisy, hypocritical kindness!"

Hypocrisy!

Ye Ran was shocked, the pupils in his eyes dilated, as if someone had revealed the ugliness he had covered, which made him at a loss, and all his beliefs were collapsing.

"At least, at a certain moment, you are cruel and evil!" The old man said lightly, "So, don't put yourself in such a noble position. ”

Ye Ran thought of the soldiers killed in the canyon, for a moment, he was excited by the killing, depriving his life without any scruples, looking down on the despair of others, and ignoring the life and death of others!

"Shut up!" Ye Ran got up suddenly, the blood-stained monk's robe agitated, his face was painful, angry and remorseful, and the animal skin was shaken away by an invisible wave of qi.

"Big brother!" Qian Wang was so frightened that he rolled to the ground all of a sudden, staring at Ye Ran with a frightened expression, not understanding how he could be like this.

Ye Ran froze, and the sudden anger was uncontrollable. "What the hell is wrong with me?" He muttered to himself, covered his face, and sat down weakly.

The old man was unmoved, still so calm, "You have to learn to control your own power, don't be dominated by it, otherwise, you will fall into the devil sooner or later!" ”

Enchanted!

Ye Ran trembled, put down his hand, looked at the ground in despair, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I ......" He clenched his fists with a painful face.

"Hey!" The old man sighed, shook his head with a complicated face, put down the cigarette stick and walked to Ye Ran's side.

Ye Ran raised his head, and the strength of his body subconsciously condensed.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions." ”

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his withered hand, put it on Ye Ran's shoulder, and said gently: "You keep this breathing method firmly in mind, it can keep you self at all times!" ”

Ye Ran only felt a gentle force flow into his shoulder, controlling the flow of his blood, followed by controlling his heartbeat and breathing.

Ye Ran involuntarily followed that way to adjust his breath, a new way of breathing began to change his blood flow, heartbeat speed, and every rhythm was spreading a layer of invisible ripples, soothing the irritability in his heart, and clearing the complicated thoughts in his mind.

That breath is as thick as a thousand mountains, and wide as the sea.

The whole person became quiet, his eyes gradually cleared, his sharp edges converged, and his thoughts were cleared one by one.

After a while, the old man withdrew his hand, looking a little tired, returned to the fire and sat down, looked up and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Ye Ran was still immersed in that kind of tranquility, his heart was not worried, he was close to heaven and earth, feeling the world around him, in the stillness and movement, the white clouds flowed, the mountains were condensed, and the snow flew like a waterfall.

His eyes suddenly widened, his eyes were as bright as a torch, as if he had woken up in the twilight, and he raised his hand to wipe his forehead.

What does all this have to do with me? As long as I keep my heart, why change myself for those things?

Changing one's nature is painful!

As if he had put down his burden, Ye Ran lazily leaned under the tree, yawned, and said with a smile: "Thank you, you have helped me a lot." ”

The old man took a bowl of mushroom broth and put it on the ground, "Don't be in a hurry to thank you, I help you, naturally I think you can help me too, not to mention that you also saved the little cub once before." ”

Ye Ran smiled, "You can't be asked for by others for this kind of ability, and I guess you won't give it to me cheaply." ”

At this time, the demons in his heart had disappeared, and Ye Ran was no longer entangled in the past, as if many things had been figured out.

The old man motioned for Ye Ran to come over to eat, and handed him a pair of chopsticks with broken branches.

Ye Ran picked up the bowl and took the chopsticks, blew the hot air, and tasted it in small bites.

The old man filled two more bowls, and the three of them sat around the fire.

"No matter how good the skill is, it is equal to waste, and it is not as practical as a bowl of food." The old man said.

The little boy Qianwang also nodded, Ye Ran finished eating a bowl of mushroom broth, and the old man served him another bowl.

"What do you want me to help with?" Ye Ran looked at the old man with the bowl, "Let's talk about it first, I'm not very capable, I'm stupid, and I'm always in trouble, you'd better not report too much hope!" ”

The village was destroyed by the half-demons of Yunman Mountain, and the surviving villagers fled to Black Mountain City to seek the protection of the city lord Black Mountain Wolf King, and the old man of Qianqiu revealed a big secret.

Someone in Yunman Mountain is using human blood to sacrifice demons, to put it more thoroughly, that is, to raise demons with living people, so as to obtain the power of demons.

Such a means of exterminating humanity appeared thousands of years ago.

It is said that when the dragon city of Kyushu was destroyed, Princess Haoyue cast a sword with her body, and when the sword was completed, she used the dragon's blood to open the blade to sacrifice the sword, and the sword channeled into demons, killing countless enemies, and sacrificed a peerless demon sword with the blood of the living.

Hearing this, Ye Ran was suddenly shocked in his heart, and asked, "That sword, is it called Dragon Tooth?" ”

The old man of Qianqiu was surprised, he didn't expect Ye Ran to hear of this sword, he nodded, "That's right, it's the dragon's tooth, it's a cursed sword, but whoever gets it will eventually become a murderer and fall into a situation from which he will never recover." ”

No one knows where the demons come from, just like the ethereal gods in legends.

According to the records of Kyushu, in ancient times, the Emperor of Kyushu was appointed by the heavens to rule the human world, and a large number of sacrifices were offered to the gods every year.

Later, an emperor tore up the agreement and killed the god realm, and then there was no record, and the primeval kingdom appeared, but it didn't take long for the primeval kingdom to be destroyed by the tribes uniting thousands of sects.

I often hear those monks and Taoists brag, saying that the gods and spirits above the nine heavens exist, and under the Yellow Spring, the soul is reincarnated.

The monk said reincarnation, and the Taoist priest said that the return to the Yuan is one. In short, they all have their own theories, but they just can't come up with any evidence.

"It's hard to say anything else, demons, they do exist." The old man of Qianqiu swore solemnly, he groaned for a while, and then said: "To say something unpleasant, the nine major tribes may all be the descendants of the primeval demon gods!" ”

Ye Ran almost squirted out a mouthful of soup, and said cautiously: "Old man, just talk about what we two boys say, don't spread it around, otherwise we are afraid that we will be killed by the tribe!" ”

The old man nodded, understanding the truth that trouble came from his mouth.

"It's someone's business to sacrifice demons, don't you want me to kill them?" Ye Ran chewed slices of meat, looking like a ghost.

The world is so big, people die every day for various reasons, Ye Ran finally understood a truth at this moment, are you not a savior, and you don't have the ability to worry about it, the sky is falling, let's just do our best in a down-to-earth manner.

I suddenly realized that my former self was so naïve, and many unrealistic ideas were like jokes.

Plain and bland, it doesn't necessarily mean living like all ordinary people.

People always grow up inadvertently, so fast that by the time you react, you are already old.

……

The old man shook his head, "That's not our business, I just want you to escort us to Sky Wolf City and take Xiao Qianwang to participate in the tribe's awakening ceremony." ”

Ye Ran was stunned, just now he thought that the old man was a great master, but at this time, as soon as the old man explained, he realized that the old man did not have any cultivation except for the breathing technique with one hand.

There is a ceremony in the tribe every year, so that the underage boys and girls of the tribe can get some inheritance through that ceremony, and those with good qualifications can be favored by some dignitaries, and those with bad qualifications have no hope, of course, those who are more powerful can be directly guided by famous teachers sent by the royal family.

These are all later words, and they have little to do with Ye Ran, but they have something to do with Qianwang, because he is only fourteen years old this year, and he is still early in adulthood.

I don't know where the old man got the news that the ceremony would be held in the middle of November. Seeing that the day was coming, the village was full of Yunman bandits, but fortunately, Ye Ran passed by and saved Qianwang's life.

In fact, Ye Ran just delayed for a while at that time, as for the old man of Qianqiu, he happened to be no longer in the village, and it was his fate, otherwise he might not be able to escape bad luck at that age.
