The Story of the Fourth World (42)
There is a Su family in Jinta City, which is the only big family in this Jinta City, although the Su Mansion has a large family business, but Master Su is willing to give, and has a very good reputation in Jinta City, and often helps the poor. But it is also the blessing that Master Su has been doing well for many years, although he is old and has a son, but he gave birth to a little prodigy, because he is the only seedling of the Su family, Master Su named Su Hang, a unique one.
This Su Hang was born rich and noble, but he did not show his intelligence far beyond ordinary people since he was a child, but he had read hundreds of books at the age of fifteen, and Master Su felt that his baby son might not be able to gain a reputation in the future, so he bought many books for Su Hang to study.
On this day, Su Hang went out of the house early in the morning, and he didn't let his subordinates follow. "I'll go to the bamboo forest for a walk, you don't have to worry about me, tell my dad I'll come back at noon." Su Hang likes to read in a quiet place, and there is a book house built for him by Master Su in the bamboo forest, and Su Hang usually reads here.
"Hey, I don't know if there is martial arts on the rivers and lakes, and the nursing home at home is just physically strong, and I haven't seen any martial arts, but this book says that there should be." Su Hang closed a yellowed book in his hand, and there were many types of books that Master Su bought, mixed with one or two books that talked about the rivers and lakes, which made Su Hang full of curiosity about this mysterious field.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the bamboo forest.
"Young Master, run away!" I saw a man with a bloody face stumbling into this peaceful bamboo forest.
"Fu'an, who injured you like this, don't you know that you are from my Su Mansion?" Su Hang saw that the person who came was a subordinate from his own house, and hurriedly left the book house and asked.
Fu'an was relieved to see that his young master was fine, and hurriedly said: "Young master, a group of people from the rivers and lakes came to the house, saying that they wanted the master to hand over the treasure and honor them, but the master refused, so they fought and killed the house and shed a river of blood. The master saw that those people were so cruel, so he asked me to find the young master, and the master said that let you go as far as possible, and leave incense for the Su family. ”
Su Hang is only fifteen years old, although he is young and intelligent, he is a famous little prodigy in Jinta City, but after all, he is a child, and he was stunned for a while, "That... What about my parents? What about them? ”
"The lord and the lady should have been killed by the thief, young master, run away, I'll go and lead them away, the lord asked me to tell you, I can't protect you in the future, the world is sinister, let you be more careful when you are out alone, don't avenge him, just continue the incense for the Su family." As he spoke, he took out a small money bag from his arms and handed it to Su Hang, turned his head and ran back the way he came.
Su Hang sat on the ground, his home was gone, he didn't doubt Fu'an's words, because his father was the life-saving benefactor of Fu'an's family, and he had nothing now.
Thinking of his father's last words, Su Hang knew that he was his father's last hope, and he must not give up on himself, and if he does not avenge this revenge, he should not be a son of man.
Picking up the money bag next to him, Su Hang turned over and ran, he was tired of reading in the bamboo forest, so he would go around the bookstore, and accidentally found a place unknown to outsiders, so he could temporarily avoid these enemies.
Running along the mountain road, the sky has begun to darken, and it is not easy for the enemy to search for him at night, but he can't rush at night, first of all, he has to find Xiaoqing, and only by finding Xiaoqing can he have a little self-preservation.
Xiaoqing is two years ago Su Hang picked up an injured bamboo leaf in the bamboo forest, when he found Xiao Qing Su Hang was startled, Fu'an wanted to ride a snake injury to kill it, Su Hang stopped Fu'an and asked him to take Xiaoqing home, begged his mother for a long time before his mother found a doctor to treat Xiaoqing, after Xiaoqing's injury healed, Su Hang put it back in the forest, and then what he didn't expect was that this bamboo leaf Qing seemed to be very spiritual, because Su Hang saved it, he often put the captured mice in the bamboo forest, at first Su Hang was still very distressed, Later, he tried to communicate with the snake he named Xiaoqing, and found that Xiaoqing was very intelligent, and the two became friends after going back and forth.
On weekdays, Xiaoqing lives by herself in the mountains, but Su Hang knows the secret cave where Xiaoqing lives, and hiding there should not be discovered for the time being. The sky was getting darker, and there was silence in the forest, only the wheezing of Su Hang. It's coming, it's coming.
Finally escaped to the bottom of the mountain where Xiaoqing was, this mountain has no name, the grass is lush, the entrance of the cave is very hidden, covered by grass, you don't need to test it with your hands, you can't notice that there is a hole here, and it's very small, even Su Hang has to bend down to climb in.
There is a lot of space inside, the first time I came here, I brought him here after Xiaoqing and his relationship became closer and closer, the black rumbling couldn't see anything clearly, Xiaoqing didn't seem to be there, Su Hang dragged his tired body against the side of the cave, "boom", a thunderbolt crossed the night sky, and it rained heavily in the sky, Su Hang couldn't bear it anymore, the blow of losing a loved one was too big for a fifteen-year-old child! He hates! Hates those who killed his parents, hates that he can't do anything about all this, if he can have the strength of those martial arts masters in the book, he can protect his parents, if he is strong, he won't be able to look at the enemy outside and not be able to go up to take revenge.
There was a sound of blades of grass being scratched at the entrance of the cave, it should be Xiaoqing who came back, and then a cold object crawled on his shoulder like a ribbon around Su Hang's arm, and the cold touch made Su Hang shiver. Stretched out his right hand and touched his face indiscriminately, wiped away his tears, touched Xiaoqing's head and muttered: "Xiaoqing, my relatives are gone, only you and I will be with you in the future, but I still don't know who the enemy is!"
Xiaoqing didn't make Su He's sound, and wrapped her cold body in Su Hang's arms, as if she was silently comforting Su Hang.
Gradually, Su Hang curled up and fell asleep! The rain was still falling, the wind was still blowing, and the flame of revenge was burning in the boy's heart. Xiaoqing was lying at the entrance of the cave staring at the inky sky outside the cave, the wind and rain, but it didn't scare Xiaoqing, who was only two feet long, and the snake letter swallowed and spit out, and there were some points of light in the air that slowly merged into Xiao Qing's green body, if Su Hang saw it, he was afraid that he would call it hell.
Half an hour later, the light spots in the air slowly disappeared, and the faint green glow emanating from Xiaoqing's body also converged into his body, as if nothing had happened.
The next day, Su Hang was awakened by the cold, this was the first time he experienced the taste of spending the night outside, with the help of a little light at the entrance of the cave, he saw a mouse that had been dead for a long time in front of the young man, although he knew that this was Xiaoqing's kindness, but he still waved his hand and refused, "Xiaoqing, you eat, I don't eat mice." ”
Xiaoqing bit the mouse and swallowed it.
Seeing this situation, Su Hang's stomach also began to "growl".
"Xiaoqing, do you know where there is fruit, can you take me to find it?"
Su Hang explained to Xiaoqing with his hand and mouth, Xiaoqing seemed to understand at once and turned his body out of the hole, he hurriedly climbed out, the early morning dew wet his clothes, he couldn't help it, after all, he was no longer the young master of the Su family, and what qualifications did he have to pick and choose.
was about to chase Xiaoqing's figure, but Su Hang looked back in the direction of Jinta City: Father, mother, I leave this time, I will definitely join the martial arts faction, learn the top martial arts, and after I finish learning, I will avenge you.
Then I thought of what Fu'an said that the gang of thieves plotted against their own treasures, so they wanted to kill their whole family, but they didn't hear from their father that they had any treasures for their own family, it was really a disaster.
At this moment, Su Hang understood what the rivers and lakes mentioned in the book were, not happiness and enmity, but the law of the jungle!
Su Hang doesn't know where he is now, he only knows that this mountain range is called Danxia Mountain Range, every day the mountains will be filled with white fog, the most experienced hunters will get lost, Xiaoqing should not be confused by this white fog, just can use this white fog to evade their search, through Danxia Mountain to Youzhou, Jinta City belongs to Qiongzhou, and when you get to Youzhou, those enemies can't find themselves if they want to.
It's been half a day since I left Xiaoqing's secret cave, and Su Hang, who has been running around since yesterday, is physically and mentally exhausted, and his stomach is hungry with acid water, but there is no fruit along the way, and the surroundings are white, "Poof!" Su Hang's feet were weak, he fell to the ground, and he didn't get up after holding on several times.
"Could it be that I am going to starve to death in this deep mountain before I avenge my revenge? I'm not reconciled, I don't want to die! ”
Xiaoqing saw Su Hang fall to the ground, crawled out with a smoke, and soon crawled in front of Su Hang with a dead vole wrapped in his tail. Su Hang stared at Xiaoqing's eyes, smiled, grabbed the vole with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and tore off the fur of the vole with his teeth, just like tearing the flesh and blood of the enemy.
"If I can live, sooner or later I will pay for the blood of the people who killed my relatives!" A vole didn't have much meat, and it entered Su Hang's belly in three or two clicks, and his body seemed to be relieved a little. It was difficult to support his body with both hands, and under the leadership of Xiaoqing, he came to a small stream, the stream water was very clear, he held a handful of water in both hands, and rinsed the blood stains on his face, and the stream reflected the delicate face of Su Hang, but there was no original innocence.
There are few people in this mountain range, there is no road, it is very slow, and the white fog is diffuse, if it is not for Xiaoqing to lead the way, Su Hang may not be able to walk out of this Danxia Mountain until he dies.
Suddenly, Xiaoqing rushed out, with a clear goal, and crawled quickly into a huge hole at the foot of the mountain. Su Hang thought to himself, I am afraid that there are bears living in such a big cave, Xiaoqing is not asking for a dead end when he enters, but Su Hang can't sit idly by, he looks left and right, and picks up a tree trunk as thick as a baby's arm, which looks like it has been broken for a long time, but it is still very strong, and he waved it twice in the air, which is quite handy.
Then he chased after the cave that Xiaoqing entered, and when he entered the cave, he found that there was really a bear in the cave, Xiaoqing really fought with the big bear, Xiaoqing was small, fast as lightning, the bear was taller than the book described, and the action was much more clumsy than Xiaoqing.
It couldn't touch Xiaoqing, it was crazy with anger, just saw Su Hang who had just entered the hole, and rushed to Su Hang with a roar, Xiaoqing seized the opportunity to bite the bear's hind leg, and the venom was injected into the big bear's body without money.
Even Su Hang didn't expect that Xiaoqing, who was usually gentle when he got along with him, would be so powerful with the venom at this time, and the crazy bear fell to the ground before he could run a few steps, unable to move. How could Su Hang let go of this opportunity and rush up to the bear's head is a stick! But his body was still too weak, his arms were numb from the shock, and the wooden stick bounced out of his hand.
Xiaoqing followed up and took a bite on the bear's neck, no matter how unwilling this big bear was, he could only drink hatred under Xiaoqing's fangs!
Seeing that the big bear was not moving, Su Hang sat on the ground with his butt on his back, and the cold sweat on his back soaked his clothes. "Xiaoqing, why did you suddenly fight with this big bear, it's too dangerous, you can't do it next time." Xiaoqing ignored Su Hang's words, and the snake body twisted and crawled towards the depths of the cave, and Su Hang had no choice but to get up and follow.
The zigzag cave ended in a large cavern with a glowing bead inlaid at the top.
"Is this the Pearl of the Night?" Although Su Hang has never seen such a treasure, he has also seen the description of the overnight pearl from the book, which is priceless!
Such a priceless treasure was used as a lamp, with the help of the light of the night pearl, Su Hang saw a fruit tree growing on the ground, three or four leaves hanging on the thin branches, and there were actually two small fruits, the fruit was black and white, just looking at it, Su Hang couldn't hold back his desire to eat, swallowed his saliva, and Su Hang moved his gaze to the side.
There is also a skeleton shelf on the ground, and looking at the dust on its clothes, it is estimated that it is a person who has been dead for many years. The deceased is the biggest, Su Hang thought about burying this skeleton, as soon as his hand touched the skeleton, the skeleton actually flew out of a green light and went straight to Su Hang's head, and before he could react, he didn't enter Su Hang's heavenly spirit cover.
"Hahaha! How could I die, when I occupy this body, and cultivate for another hundred years, I will definitely make the miscellaneous blood debts of the Heavenly Sword Sect pay for it! ”
And Su Hang only then found that he had turned into a small green ball of light and appeared in a dark space, and opposite him was a blood-red light cluster countless times larger than himself, could this red light cluster be the skeleton? If I knew that, why would I do that good deed?
The blood-red light group vented his emotions and then faced Su Hang, "Little doll, thanks to you and I have a chance to live again, I will take good care of your body, you can go with peace of mind!" With that, he rushed towards Su Hang's small ball of light.
"Ahh Why? Why can't I eat you? What other treasures do you have on you, which can actually resist the damage of the divine soul? Only then did Su Hang realize that although he was still that little ball of light, he would feel very hard, so that he was surrounded by this symbol. It was this symbol that allowed Su Hang to block the attack of the Netherchild.
At this time, the outside world, Su Hang's chest also emitted a faint light. The light ball of the Netherchild is still trying to eat Su Hang, but Su Hang can only defend passively. At this time, Xiaoqing outside was in a hurry, and suddenly, Xiaoqing seemed to think of something, and immediately climbed up to the small tree next to him, rolled up the white fruit with his tail and put it on Su Hang's mouth, the fruit turned into a liquid by itself and flowed into Su Hang's body, and suddenly Su Hang's dark sea of consciousness was illuminated by a white light, Su Hang felt warm all over his body, just basking in the sun, and the soul of the ghost was like snow under the sun, which was slowly melted.
"I'm not reconciled!" With the screams of the ghost, Su Hang came to his senses, not only did he feel more energetic, but his body seemed to be a lot stronger, and when he saw that there was only one black fruit left on the tree next to him, he knew that it was Xiaoqing who saved him. "Xiaoqing, thank you for saving me, this fruit is so amazing, you eat that one, you can become stronger!"
Xiaoqing saw that he was fine, so he climbed the tree and ate another black fruit, and then Xiaoqing's body was frosty, and his body was motionless, Su Hang had never seen this kind of thing, and there was no such description in the books he had read before, but Xiaoqing was supernatural, and he should not eat harmful things, so he had to believe that Xiaoqing could do it himself.
Recalling what he encountered today, Su Hang couldn't help but be afraid, whether he had met a ghost or a fairy, so many things had happened, could there really be a god in this world?
"Fortunately, Xiaoqing helped me, what kind of natural treasure is this white fruit, I feel that not only does I not have Su He's fatigue on my body, but I also feel that my thin body has become stronger." Su Hang saw that his body was stronger than before, just this white fruit was not ordinary, it must be the treasure of heaven and earth mentioned in the book.
He thought of these strange things he encountered today, the self-proclaimed Netherworld actually wanted to invade his body, and that Heavenly Sword Sect, could it be some kind of immortal sect that could defeat such an evil ghost, and he thought that it was also a famous sect, if he could worship the Heavenly Sword Sect, it would be just around the corner to avenge his parents.
If there are really immortals in the world, then Xiaoqing is probably the demon beast mentioned in the book, no, Xiaoqing is so close to herself, she will never harm herself, it should be a spirit animal, if there are really immortals, then I must think of worshipping my subordinates, and when I become an immortal, I should take revenge! Su Hang thought so. Su Hang remembered that when he was about to be devoured by the Netherworld, there was a white light that protected him, and when he lowered his head again, sure enough, the jade pendant that had been hanging on his chest was gone.
This jade pendant is what he has brought with him since he was a child, and his father has told him many times to keep it, is this the treasure of his family, and those people came to his house for this jade pendant? Su Hang had never heard his father say that there was any special treasure in the family, but after experiencing this today, he didn't know that this jade pendant was the treasure that those people would snatch even if they didn't hesitate to kill his whole family. It's just that now this jade pendant is gone, and it should be gone after resisting the attack.
Su Hang was thinking about the cause and effect of the jade pendant, and suddenly found that he had turned into a small green ball of light again, and he had come to that black space again. But this time, there was no Netherchild, only himself and the jade pendant that had disappeared.
He remembered that there was a book that recorded that people's souls live in their own sea of knowledge, so this black space should be his sea of knowledge, but he didn't know why this jade pendant was also in his sea of knowledge.
Thinking of this, he used his consciousness to let his small ball of light slowly approach the jade pendant, and the moment he touched the jade pendant, the jade pendant emitted a soft light, Su Hang woke up suddenly, and found that he had come out of the sea of knowledge, and his body was actually on a piece of land, surrounded by a thick white mist, and he couldn't see what was around.
Su Hang was a little surprised, could this be the mystery of the jade pendant? I don't know what a fairy baby is, there is no sun, but the white mist around emits a faint light, allowing Su Hang to see the environment clearly.
I don't know what is in the white mist, Su Hang was about to walk over and touch the white mist that shrouded the land here, but he found that he just had such a thought in his heart, and his body reached the edge of the land, and he was surrounded by the white mist, and he couldn't see what was inside the white mist.
Stretching out his hands, he found that there was a strong resistance to stop Su Hang's touch, and Su Hang suddenly became a little anxious.
How to get out of this place when you come in, the thought arises, and after a trance, Su Hang found that he had returned to the cave,
I see, this baby only needs to think in his heart to be able to enter and exit freely.
Next, Su Hang began his own experiment, and after many times of entering and exiting, Su Hang found that he didn't seem to have entered this treasure physically, but he could take out the things in the jade pendant space.
Su Hang grabbed a handful of soil on the ground in the space, and when he returned, he found that a handful of damp soil really appeared in his hands sitting in the cave, but this place didn't seem to be of much use? However, Su Hang found that this space was the size of two of his own family yards, and he could put some things in it at that time, and others would not find out.
After going back and forth many times, Su Hang suddenly felt dizzy, and it seemed that the jade pendant could not be used much.
Back in the cave, Su Hang saw the skeleton in front of him, his heart was nameless, he was kind enough to help you collect the bones, but you wanted to murder me, thinking of this, he was angry, and kicked the skeleton on the ground, before Su Hang ate the white spirit fruit, not only refreshed, but also strengthened the body, the bones on the ground have been dead for a long time, where can I stop this kick, and suddenly scattered, but a small cloth bag fell out of it.
Seeing this cloth bag, Su Hang thought that this person was chased to death by the Heavenly Sword Gate, but there was still this cloth bag hidden on his body, could it be some kind of treasure, so he quickly picked it up and tried to open this cloth bag, the cloth bag seemed to be light and fluttering, but no matter how hard Su Hang tried, this cloth bag could not be opened, Su Hang felt more and more magical, but he was helpless, so he put the cloth bag into the jade pendant in his mind.
At this time, the frost on Xiaoqing's body was slowly melting, and Su Hang found that the small tree that had borne black and white fruits before had withered.
Su Hang saw that Xiaoqing's body was still moving slowly, and the color of his body had also turned blue-black, but he didn't know if it was more toxic, "whoosh", before he could see Xiaoqing's movements, Xiaoqing had already wrapped his body around his arm, Su Hang couldn't help but shiver, Xiaoqing's body became colder.
Get up and prepare to continue on your way, there are too many things encountered in this cave, so Su Hang just wants to get out of here as soon as possible.
Although he had never been far away before, he often read books, and Su Hang also knew that the Jinta City where he was located was just a remote town in Qiongzhou, and Qiongzhou was only the third and last in the Kyushu of the Great Qian Empire, and across the Danxia Mountains from Qiongzhou was the rich Youzhou.
Su Hang thought that if there was really information about the immortals, most of them would only be able to find out the news in Youzhou.
Danxia Mountain Fierce Beasts and Poisonous Snakes are infested, inaccessible, Suzhou and Hangzhou have never heard of anyone being able to pass through here before, but their own home was murdered, and the thieves may be waiting for the rabbit, and they can never go from the official road, so they can only rely on Xiaoqing's protection to take a walk in this Danxia Mountain.
Danxia Mountain is often shrouded in dense fog, Suzhou and Hangzhou can only rely on the noon fog dissipation barely to discern the direction, although I have not been to Youzhou, but listen to my father said, from Jinta City into the Danxia Mountains need to go all the way to the southwest, the official road because to bypass the Danxia Mountains so the direction is not consistent, I hope to arrive safely.
After walking in the mountains for two more days, when I was thirsty, I drank the water of the stream, and when I was hungry, I ate wild fruits, and all the wild beasts I encountered on the road were solved by Xiaoqing, and I was safe.
Suddenly, Su Hang's eyes were attracted by a plant in the shade of the woods, it seemed to be the ginseng he had seen in a miscellaneous book before, but Su Hang had really never seen what ginseng looked like in the soil before, and he didn't have a pharmacy business at home, so he wasn't sure.
But with the idea of not letting go of the mistake, Su Hang stepped forward and decided to dig it out to see if it was what he thought, there is wild ginseng, if it is really ginseng, you can remember it well, and you can pick more ideas on the way, and you can exchange it for money when you get to Youzhou.
After all, he didn't have any money when he came out, and Fu'an only had five or six taels of gold in the money bag he gave himself.
Just as Su Hang was about to reach out to dig the soil, Xiao Qing, who had been shrunk in Su Hang's sleeve, burst out, a black shadow flashed, Su Hang didn't find anything wrong, Xiao Qing didn't fall into the shadow under the tree, at this time, he found that there was a poisonous snake more than three feet long in ambush in the shadow, although it had been killed by Xiao Qing, but it still made him break out in a cold sweat!
I lost my vigilance in such a dangerous mountain forest, if it wasn't for Xiaoqing to protect me, I'm afraid I would have lost my bones a long time ago, but I can't rely on Xiaoqing for everything, if I die, I can't avenge my parents!
After Xiaoqing swallowed the poisonous snake, Su Hang came back to his senses, and after careful observation, there was no danger, so he slowly dug up the soil around the plant.
The result made Su Hang very happy, it was indeed ginseng, but the first time he dug ginseng, he was in a hurry, although he was very careful, but this ginseng was still cut off by Su Hang, and the broken ginseng whiskers were stuffed into his mouth, which could not be wasted.
Su Hang suddenly thought that he had traveled a long way and couldn't save this ginseng, but the jade pendant space had planted this ginseng in it, and he didn't know if it could survive.
Thinking of this, Su Hang instructed Xiaoqing to protect himself, after all, his body was outside after his soul entered the jade pendant space, and he would not be able to protect himself when he encountered danger.
Entering the space, according to the experience of many attempts, Su Hang found that he could move at will as he thought in the jade pendant space, and he could also control the land inside.
At this time, the surrounding white mist actually separated a wisp of itself into this ginseng, Su Hang found that after the white mist entered the ginseng, the ginseng leaves were actually more vibrant, could it be said that this jade pendant space is a place for immortals to grow medicine? It's really amazing, although Su Hang doesn't know how to grow medicinal herbs, but after the white mist of the space is submerged, the ginseng seems to be more vibrant, as for whether this space can grow medicine, Su Hang decided to find more medicinal materials to try later.
As the so-called husband is not guilty, he is guilty, it is precisely because the news of his family treasure leaked out, but he did not have the strength to protect it, which led to such a thing in his own family, and this jade pendant baby must not let others know.
