Chapter 5: The Weirdos

Heaven and earth have been changing in recent years, and the most significant is the change in aura. In addition to this, it is the manifestation of the spiritual intelligence of the alien race outside the human race. All kinds of strange beasts seem to have opened their minds, and some beasts go to the mountains and hunt in the wilderness, and they need to fight wits and courage with strange beasts.

In his early years, a woodcutter once said that he met a big tree on the mountain that could speak, but no one took it seriously, and it was all a joke.

But since then, this has changed more and more, and some villagers say that their dogs have become very strange, and they will look at them with thieves, and often gather with the dogs of the same village, as if discussing things. The fisherman fished and found that the fish did not take the bait, but looked at him from the shore, as if he were laughing at himself.

There are also spiritual pets in the clan, who have high spiritual intelligence, and after the changes of heaven and earth, many injured and scratched their masters, opened their mouths, and then ran away.

In the mountains and wilderness, outside the gates, and in the western wilderness, ordinary people dare not set foot in it, and people are panicked for a while.

"The true multitude of nations is coming!" said a wise man among the people.

And if there is chaos today, it is also because of this. The top cultivators of Tianqi all felt that the opportunity to become a saint was probably coming.

The saint is the realm that Tianqi people dream of, and it is recorded in the history books that the saint who once created civilization was so powerful, when he raised his hand, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sky was thundering. Between the stomping of the feet, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the endless sea was a tsunami.

Some people speculated that Ling Yuhui of the Tianqi Ling family was the first to step into this realm, and when he shot an arrow angrily, the cultivators hundreds of miles away felt that vigorous aura! When someone stepped into this realm, the pattern of the great world was about to change, even if the Ling family did not have the intention of usurping the throne. Emperor Wenyang was old, his power was weakening, and he was unable to pursue the realm of saints.

The division of various places, in addition to protecting Mingzhe's life, is also for the ruler to pursue the realm of saints and not be interfered with by the Tianqi Kingdom.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Wei Shengfeng was speechless for a long time after listening to the words from the soldiers.

"What is Brother Ling's realm now?"

After a while, he came back to his senses, thinking that the young master of the Ling family was still here, and he might be able to see this old brother Ling in a few days.

"Report, Elder Nanming Valley asks to see you!"

"Hurry up, please. ”

Nanming Valley is a first-line force in the Southern Sect, close to the Endless Sea, far away from Zedu, and closer to this city. Among the Southern Sects, there are very few people who can compete with them, and their strength should definitely not be underestimated.

Among them, the equipment produced by the grain and the elixir produced by the medicine valley, and the army of Zeguo and Nanming Valley came and went frequently, and the trade was needed by each other.

In the stone temple outside the city, children were still chatting.

A little girl with a dirty face but clear eyes said on the side: "After those soldiers entered the city a few days ago, the city gate was opened, and Brother Big Bird took a few of us out of the city, and taught me to fight birds, and then roasted them. ”

This little girl's name is Xiaorou, and she has forgotten the name given by her parents, and everyone saw that she was soft and weak, so they gave her this name.

"We all say that the big bird is cruel and cruel to his own kind. The kids teased and giggled.

Ling Xu also teased: "I saw Xiao Rou tired of being with you all day long, don't be sorry for Xiao Rou in the future, but if you marry Xiao Rou, everyone will be a witness." ”

The other children all smiled and said yes, the little girl ran away shyly when she heard this, the big bird blushed, and pounced on Ling Xu,

"Don't you think that if you enter the City Lord's Mansion, I won't be able to clean you up!"

The big bird pressed Ling Xu to the ground to clean it up, and refused to stop until Ling Xu screamed loudly.

Ling Xu got up with a disgraced face, and greeted the children again, and laughter and laughter came from time to time in the stone temple, which was very harmonious.

After a while.

"What? There's a weirdo sneaking into the temple every night?"

"The strange man was dressed in a black robe, and I secretly opened my eyes and saw his face. The blue-faced fangs are terrifying! Still touching me!"

Ling Xu got goosebumps when he heard this.

"Nonsense, I also saw it, obviously he is a middle-aged man, but he has four hands!"

"No, no, he's..."

Children, you say a word to me, Ling Xu's head is big when he listens, he turned to look at the big bird, and said, "Brother Big Bird, do you know what's going on?"

After listening to what Big Bird said, Ling Xu faintly sorted out this matter. In the past two days, every night, a strange person sneaked into the stone temple, sneakingly, as if checking the physical condition of each child, and I don't know what to do. After checking a few children every night, they left in a hurry, and after tonight, the children in the temple were to be checked.

There were more than a dozen homeless children living in the stone temple, and when Ling Xu came, there were more than that, some of them were beaten to death by stealing food outside, and some left the small city and didn't know where to go. Now there are only so many people left in the temple.

Ling Xu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll stay tonight and see what that weirdo wants to do!"

He thought to himself, "If that strange man has bad intentions, then we are not in danger, should we find some of the general's guards?"

After that, Ling Xu stayed in the stone temple for a while and left, he came out early in the morning, and it didn't take a few hours to go out of the house to the stone temple after watching the teenagers practice in the morning, at this time the scorching sun was in the sky outside, and it was not long after noon, he thought about it for a while, and then returned to the city lord's mansion.

Then he went back to the room, happily took out the forging body, and began to study carefully. It records a variety of methods of cultivating the body, the most important of which is the method of strengthening qi and blood, which is the most fundamental practice of a martial artist.

Ling Xu was fascinated by the study, and many of the body refining methods in it were very itchy, but his body had not healed, so he could only try it in the future.

"I have never been able to awaken the spiritual vein, could it be because of my body?

Ling Xu thought about it, but he had just started his cultivation path, and he was still ignorant of many things, so it was not appropriate to try it rashly.

It is also written in the book that if you cultivate martial arts to the extreme, you can easily run thousands of miles on foot without effort, you can easily shake the mountains with your bare hands, kill giant beasts, and your blood is vast, and you may not be able to become a saint and become a god.

But these were all ideal realms, and Ling Xu had never heard of anyone who could reach this realm. In the eyes of the world, martial arts cultivation is inferior to spiritual cultivation, and spiritual cultivators are omnipotent in heaven and earth. And the martial arts cultivator is just brute force.

Time passes, and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Before he knew it, it was getting dark, and Ling Xu came out of the world in the book, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The person who wrote this book is also a genius, although the descendants are perfect, but there is no road of ancestors, and it is really amazing to open up a road that no one has walked!"

"I don't know what time it is?"

Then he saw that it was already dark outside, and remembered that he was going to the stone temple tonight, so he immediately got up and went out of the room.

The small town is quite peaceful, so there are not many guards in the mansion, and only a few guards were met on the way, but they all knew him, Ling Xu told the guards about the homeless children in the stone temple, and asked him to tell the general, and then left the mansion.

Wei Shengfeng was about to go to bed, and when he listened to the guard's report, he wondered, "What did this kid do when he ran out at night?"

But I didn't think much about it, after all, it was in this city, even if I went out of the city, even a few cities nearby were the territory of Zeguo, and I was not afraid that this little young master of the Ling family would get lost.

It didn't take long to reach the stone temple, and there was a faint yellow light flashing in the stone temple. As a group of homeless children, they naturally can't afford to buy a complete candle, and this faint light is also a leftover wax torch from other people's homes that the big guy collects, and it will be blown out before going to bed.

Although the light is weak, it is enough to warm everyone's heart.

When Ling Xu entered the stone temple, he saw a group of beggars chatting and chatting, Ling Xu went in lightly, ran behind a few children and pretended to be scary, and was cleaned up by everyone laughing again.

Everyone laughed and made a fuss, and the big bird looked at the temple and saw that there was no one outside, and asked strangely: "Xiao Xu, didn't you tell the general when you went back? Why didn't you send someone to protect you?"

Ling Xu lost his strength, lay on the ground, and said, "No, Vice General Tiger gave me a forging body duel today, and I have been seeing it since I went back, and I didn't have time to tell them." ”

Big Bird hesitated a little and said, "We don't know who that strange man is, if he has bad intentions..."

Someone laughed and said, "How powerful will such a sneaky thief be? If he dares to have bad intentions, so many of us will surround him and beat him together!"

Everyone laughed and made jokes, which temporarily dispelled the worries in Dalong's heart, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but he could only press it down.

The night was getting darker.

The candle did not blow and extinguish itself, for it had burned to the end, and the people were ready to rest and lie down in their beds. It is said that it is a bed, but in fact, there are some dry straw on the bottom, and the quilt on the top is just a "blanket" sewn from a few rags.

Facing a strange person who didn't know the purpose, Ling Xu was also a little flustered, he was just over eight years old this year, and spent his birthday with these homeless children, inserted a branch on a big steamed bun, lit a fire, and then blew it out, maybe the wish, everyone was very happy, because many people didn't even know their birthday, Ling Xu also felt very satisfied.

The big bird slept on his side, and seemed to sense that Ling Xu was a little nervous, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You have also slept here for several months, why are you still not used to it?"

Ling Xu shook his head with a smile, and also calmed down, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.

There was a slight snoring sound in the stone temple, it should be that some stray children had already slept, Ling Xu thought, that strange man was afraid that he would not come tonight. Then I also felt extremely sleepy, and slowly fell asleep.

"Crunch..."

Ling Xu, who was almost asleep, was awakened, it was a sound from the gate of the stone temple, his eyes opened and he saw that there was a faint moonlight spilling in, and he didn't see anyone.

Just as he was about to look around, a distorted and dark face suddenly poked into his eyes, close at hand!
