Chapter 23: Departure

In the early morning in the mountains and forests, there is a faint mist, like a white gauze dancing on a fairy's body.

Rays of sunlight shone through the cracks in the trees and shone through the woods, turning the mist a brilliant golden yellow.

"Coo, coo" surrounds the trees of Coo, the lush leaves look particularly delicate in the sunlight, and the birds chirp happily in the branches.

"Why haven't you come yet?" said a good-looking boy who looked to be about fourteen years old, frowning impatiently.

He was carrying a backpack on his body, his eyes were firmly fixed on the narrow loess path in front of the village, and his left foot was gently raised, and his toe touched the ground, rubbing the dust on the ground.

This boy is none other than Li Mengchun.

Today is still a month away from the city of Naning, and Li Mengchun informed Yun Yuan in advance half a year ago, and the two of them agreed to meet at the entrance of the village today, and then set off.

But Li Mengchun had been waiting at the entrance of the village for almost half an hour, his face was red from the hot sun in the sky, and there was no figure of Yun Yuan.

"Brother, don't worry, Brother Yunyuan is not the kind of person who will be late casually. A silver bell-like voice suddenly sounded behind Li Mengchun.

This voice came from Li Mengli.

She touched the ground with her feet on the ground, a pair of white hands behind her back, and smiled at Li Mengchun, and the morning glow was reflected on her smile, which looked particularly moving.

"I didn't expect to be discovered by you. Li Mengchun exhaled softly and said embarrassedly.

He didn't want the villagers to run to the entrance of the village in order to see them off, so he decided to leave quietly with Yun Yuan and go to Ningcheng.

"Ahem. An old man with an old dragon bell coughed dryly, and walked out of the village slowly on crutches, "It's not just Meng Li who found out. ”

This old man is the village chief of Gugu Village.

Li Mengchun was shocked, and hurriedly turned around, only to find that many figures had gathered at the entrance of the village.

"Haha, Meng Chun, this time you want to win glory for our Gugu Village!" shouted an amiable uncle.

"Yes, it doesn't matter what kind of young master they are, just fight. Another middle-aged man replied.

"That's right!"

"That's it, beat them up to the ground!"

"We're not afraid of them!"

"Come on!"

More people cheered for Li Mengchun.

"Hmm..." Li Mengchun was very moved, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak.

The village chief ignored everyone's shouting and walked towards Li Mengchun.

"Meng Chun, if we really can't compare to others, then don't brace hard, if you can bend and stretch, you are the real husband!" the village chief patted him on the shoulder, revealing a peaceful smile.

"Hmm!" Li Mengchun nodded heavily, "I'll do my best!"

At this moment, a voice came.

"Heyβ€”I'm coming!" a figure suddenly appeared on the small hill next to Gugu Village, raising his hands and waving at the people at the entrance of the village.

After Li Mengli saw that figure, he was overjoyed and waved at him.

Dressed in a black robe, he leaped down the hillside and landed firmly on the ground.

There are gold threads on the edges of his black robe, and golden clouds are embroidered on the robe, which looks very gorgeous.

On his left and right hands he wore a bright silver arm guard engraved with mysterious patterns, which shimmered with silver light.

He carried a pure black long sword on his body, and the sunlight shone on the sword's body, emitting a faint dark purple light, which was particularly eye-catching.

The young man was full of spirit, with a silver bun on his head, which made him even more extraordinary.

He ran quickly towards them and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

This young man is none other than Yun Yuan, who is already ten years old.

After a year, Yun Yuan's appearance has become more and more handsome, there is a heroic spirit that cannot be concealed between his eyebrows, and his height is also outstanding among people of the same age.

In the past year, Yun Yuan has been training his physical fitness every day that is unimaginable to ordinary people, and at the same time, he has been working hard to cultivate Xuan Qi and reach the peak of the Origin Realm.

Not only did he adapt to the weight of the four silver armors on his body, but he also successfully cultivated more than fifty bones in his arms into dark gold, and often used the evening break to meditate, cultivating the exercise "Turning Void", which made his soul power also improve, reaching the peak of the middle stage of the Spirit Realm.

"What did you do, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Li Mengchun looked at Yun Yuan and complained.

"I can't help it, my old man grabbed me, told me something, and kept telling me to pay attention to safety, look, he also gave me a lot of things. After Yun Yuan finished speaking, he raised his hand and shook the black ring on his finger.

"Don't resist. Yun Yuan said to him, and a white light suddenly shot out from the black ring, taking the burden on Li Mengchun's body.

The corners of Li Mengchun's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly: "The rich and noble are different." ”

The village chief standing next to Li Mengchun smiled, patted Yun Yuan's arm gently, and said, "Xiao Yuan, don't blame us old men for being verbose, this time we must pay attention to safety on the way to Ningcheng." ”

"Okay, Grandpa Village Chief!" Yun Yuan nodded, stared at the village chief, held his hand, and continued, "We'll pay attention." ”

Although Yun Yuan looked like a hanger in front of Yan Ge, he had also learned etiquette and knew how to respect the elderly.

"Yes, yes!" the village chief smiled with satisfaction.

"Brother Yun Yuan, come on!" Li Mengli quietly walked to Yun Yuan's side, pulled his sleeve, blushed, and said softly.

"Okay!" Yun Yuan's heart warmed and he smiled.

Li Mengchun, who was on the side, naturally heard what his sister said, and couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart.

And after Li Mengli found out about Li Mengchun's small movements, he also said perfunctorily to him: "Brother also have to come on!"

Hearing this, Li Mengchun's heart was somewhat balanced, but he still shook his head lightly and said secretly: "Alas, this Nizi..."

"It's not too early, it's time for you to go, this is the contest token, you can participate in the city competition with this brand. The village chief looked at the sun in the sky, took out two quaint signs from his sleeves, and said slowly.

"Hmm!" Yun Yuan nodded lightly, let go of the village chief's hand, put the two brands into the ring, said goodbye to everyone at the entrance of the village, and walked towards the loess path in front of the village.

Li Mengchun also slowly followed Yun Yuan, but stopped not far from the entrance of the village, turned around and looked back, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, and turned around and walked again.

At this time, a woman who was hiding in the crowd and couldn't cry suddenly rushed out, crying, and shouted loudly to Li Mengchun who was far away: "Meng Chun!

Li Mengchun's eyes lit up when he heard this shout, and he hurriedly turned around, and when he saw his mother, tears rolled in his eyes, "Well, I will, and so do you!" His words were choked with a hint of choking.

Six years ago, after his father fell off a cliff while collecting medicine in the mountains and lost his life, he has been living with his mother and sister.

At that time, although life was hard, there was often laughter.

Although life gradually improved later, a dependence has long been formed between them.

Now that he is away from home for the first time, and for the first time away from his mother for a long time, he will definitely not be able to let go of his mother who remains at home. His mother was also worried about him and didn't want to see her son leave, but she couldn't help but run away.

Li Mengchun felt that the tears in his eyes seemed to be about to fall, gritted his teeth, and shouted to Li Mengli: "Meng Li, take care of your mother!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran quickly, and a tear welled up from his eyes and spilled on the ground.

Looking at Li Mengchun in the distance, his mother couldn't hold back any longer, her legs were weak, she sat on the ground, covered her face and cried bitterly.

Li Mengli looked at his mother, and involuntarily felt a pang of sadness in his heart, squatting next to her and gently patting her on the back.

Seeing this, everyone also felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

But he still didn't forget to look at the two figures that were gradually moving away, and shouted one after another: "Victory!"

When Yun Yuan heard this, he turned around, raised his right hand high, and swung it left and right at them, shouting in his mouth: "Everyone just wait patiently for our good news!"

And Li Mengchun couldn't bear to see his mother's appearance, so he just waved his hand behind his back.

The village chief looked at the two departing backs, and couldn't help but look forward to it, and muttered in a low voice: "What kind of achievements will you achieve..."

Two hours later, Yun Yuan and the others were already far away from Gugu Village, and the sun was high above their heads, reflecting shadows on the soles of their feet.

"Brother Meng Chun, do you know where Naning City is?" Yun Yuan wiped the sweat from his head and asked Li Mengchun.

Li Mengchun was stunned for a while, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I haven't been to Ningcheng, so I don't know how to go." ”

Yun Yuan showed a disgusted expression, as if he was very disappointed in him.

After Li Mengchun saw the expression on his face, he laughed dryly and said, "But the village chief's grandfather gave me a map. ”

Yun Yuan's face was instantly filled with hope again, and a trace of soul power poured into the black ring on his finger, and he found a brown drawing in his baggage, which then appeared on his hand.

Li Mengchun took the drawing, opened it on the ground, looked around, the corners of his mouth twitched, and asked Yun Yuan embarrassedly, "Which side is the north?"

Yun Yuan shook his head helplessly, injected a trace of soul power into the black ring again, and found a wooden plate with a carved direction from the ring.

On the wooden plate is written a line of large characters "Infused with Xuan Qi".

Yun Yuan picked up the wooden plate and carefully injected a trace of Xuan Qi into it, and the center of the wooden plate suddenly emitted a bright light and formed a soup spoon.

As soon as the soup spoon was formed, the wooden plate in his hand flew up on its own, and slowly rotated, and when the wooden plate stopped rotating, it slowly fell into Yun Yuan's hand.

Yun Yuan looked at the direction of the spoon on the wooden plate with the word "north" written on it, so he pointed in that direction and pretended to be calm and said, "This is north." ”

Actually, he didn't know if this thing would work, but now there was no other way but to believe in this wooden plate.

"Okay, let's go this way. Li Mengchun waved the map, looked at it for a while, and pointed in another direction with his right hand and said.

"Well, let's go, then. Yun Yuan said lightly, then with a wave of his hand, he put away the map and wooden plate, and walked towards the east.
