Volume 1 The First Entry into the Nine Realms Chapter 5 Trials
Although Zhang Shenyi understood Yun Fan's intentions, considering his physical condition, he opened his mouth to persuade: "Your current physical condition does not allow it, you have a good rest first, I will talk to the head of the regiment, and he will come to see you." ”
"I'm fine, Brother Zhang, let me go with you. Yun Fan still insisted on going.
"Okay, but don't push yourself too hard. Seeing that Yun Fan was very persistent, Zhang Shenyi did not continue to object.
Not far from the two of them, they saw a bustling group of people sitting in all directions, talking about something. Yun Fan followed Zhang Shenyi and slowly walked in front of one of them.
I saw that although this person was a little short, he was very strong, with a pair of eagle-like tiger eyes that were very powerful, he was wearing an earthy yellow cloth robe, and a layer of red animal skin was surrounded on the outside, and I couldn't tell what kind of monster leather it was made of. He sat on a rock, surrounded by several people in the center, looking a little unashamed.
He was Yin Dagang, the leader of this See-Wen Chivalry Troupe, and the people sitting around him were the young man Dabin from before and the person who shot Steppenwolf with arrows and was called Qi Quan.
"Commander, he's awake. Zhang Shenyi said to Yin Dagang: "My physical strength has not recovered yet, I have to come over in person to thank you for saving your life, but I am quite hearted." ”
Yin Dagang looked at Yun Fan, then nodded and said, "As a young man, the speed of recovery exceeded my expectations." ”
Yun Fan has been in a coma for less than three hours since he woke up, before they saw Yun Fan's state of physical exhaustion, it is estimated that there is no day and a night that will not wake up, but they didn't think that this is only such a short time, Yun Fan not only woke up, but also able to walk normally, although the state of walking still looks very weak, but even so, it is enough to surprise them with Yun Fan's recovery ability.
Yun Fan saw that Yin Dagang's personality was very bold, so he slowly bowed to him and said, "Boy Yun Fan, thank you for the life-saving grace of Captain Yin." ”
Seeing Yun Fan make this great gift, Yin Dagang's eyes narrowed, revealing a slightly appreciative smile, "There is no need to be like this, everything in the world has cause and effect, since God arranged for you to meet me, it means that your life should not be extinguished, and saving your life is just a gesture." ”
"If you really say that you will save your life, but it is Qi Quan's divine arrow that saved you, otherwise you will really die in the wolf's mouth, if you really want to thank him, thank him. Yin Dagang looked at Qi Quan on the side, and then said to Yun Fan.
"Thank you seniors for saving your life. Yun Fan bowed to Qi Quan on the side again.
Qi Quan didn't speak, nodded slightly to Yun Fan, and it was a response.
"Young man, you said your name is Yun Fan, where are you from, and how did you come to this Northern Desert?" Yin Dagang looked at Yun Fan and asked.
Myself...... How did you get here?
With Yin Dagang's question, Yun Fan's thoughts instantly returned to a month ago......
Life outside the world is monotonous and boring, except for frolicking with friends in the village, only in the desert can you find some new things to play.
It's dangerous, but it's tempting.
Unlike usual, on that day, my mother took the initiative to let herself go to the desert to collect some sand wattle grass, a rare material in the desert that can be used to make spices.
Since it is not very common in the desert, it is not uncommon to find nothing all day long.
And when he found the sand wattle grass and returned to the village, it was already evening. Usually at this time, every household in the village has already started to cook on the fire, and the smoke is curling.
But that day, the village was frighteningly silent.
Dogs barking at the east end of the village...... Grandpa Cha, who likes to watch the sunset under the big tree...... Ah Hong, Ah Ming and Ah Qiang, who laugh and play with Yun Fan on weekdays, run and play in the village...... Their parents were calling them home for dinner......
This familiar scene did not appear at this time.
Yun Fan ran into the village quickly, but was surprised to find that all the people in the village had disappeared......
He hurried back to his house, and his worst fears came true.
My mother is gone......
Yun Fan suddenly remembered that in the early morning, when his mother asked him to collect the sand wattle grass, his appearance was a little abnormal, although he also noticed it, but he didn't care.
Now that I think about it, my mother ostensibly arranged for him to collect sand wattle grass, but in fact, she had already foreseen some dangers and broke him out in advance.
But what exactly is the danger? Where did the mother go? What about the villagers?
All of this was like countless ribbons entangled in Yun Fan's thoughts, and he wanted to work hard to sort out these thoughts, but found that the more he reasoned, the more chaotic he became, and in the end he still found nothing.
And at this moment, a familiar cat meow, as if it was like the sound of soul suppression, pierced the haze in Yun Fan's heart.
"You're back?"
Yun Fan looked up and followed the voice, and a white kitten was lying on the haystack in the yard, looking at him with a smile.
It is the pet raised by the mother - Xiaofu.
Although he could understand Xiaofu's words since he was a child, he was nothing more than eating, drinking, and Lazar, and never thought about communicating with it. And now that Xiaofu actually said to himself, "You're back", Yun Fan was instantly shocked and speechless.
This seemingly harmless pet is not as simple as I imagined. And the expression on which it looked at itself was more like it saw everything.
As the only living creature left in the village, Xiaofu must know what happened. But no matter how Yun Fan asked, Xiao Fu never answered, just said that for Yun Fan's safety, he couldn't tell him what happened.
Until Yun Fan said that he was going to find his mother no matter what, Xiaofu seemed to see Yun Fan's determination, so he said five words.
Ninefold Human Realm!
And although he is not familiar with this strange world, he still has no hesitation, even if it is full of danger, he must move forward.
"The place you are going to is far more dangerous than you imagined, and you may even sacrifice your own life, are you sure you want to go?" asked Xiaofu.
"I'm going!" Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Fan's eyes were full of determination.
"Okay, I can take you to find your mother, but you need to promise me three things......" Xiaofu said.
"I'll promise you everything!!" Yun Fan nodded in response.
He didn't even need to listen to what the three things Xiaofu proposed, as long as Xiaofu could take him to find his mother, even if it was a hundred things, a thousand things, he would agree without hesitation.
"First, to enter the Nine Realms, you need to cultivate hard, because the enemies you have to face are powerful beyond your imagination......"
Yun Fan nodded and promised, "I will definitely practice hard!"
"Second, don't ask me about your mother's whereabouts, because it won't do you any good to know this too soon...... When you're strong enough to fight them, I'll tell you all about it......"
Although he was reluctant in his heart, Yun Fan still nodded in response.
"Third, cherish your own life and live well...... For this is not only what I promised to your mother, but also what she hoped for......"
"Mother's ......" felt his mother's entrustment to Xiaofu, Yun Fan closed his eyes lightly and nodded heavily with tears.....
In the end, after making many promises to Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu finally agreed to take Yun Fan to the Ninefold Human Realm to find Yu Ning.
So Yun Fan took the purse left by his mother, enough dry food and water, and some so-called "pots and pans" to defend himself, and then followed Xiaofu and started the journey of the Nine Realms with one person and one cat.
Since Xiaofu has always claimed that he is the same as Yun Fan's father, Yun Fan has to call him Dafu instead.
And those "pots and pans" made by Fan Tie were barely able to deal with coyotes outside the realm, but after Yun Fan entered the Nine Realms, when he dealt with the first steppenwolf, he had already been caught......
After that, he was lost in the desert......
Later, he encountered the Steppenwolf pack and the Warrior Troupe......
And the question Yin Dagang asked was also expected by Yun Fan, from the very beginning, when he saw Zhang Shen, he had already made up his life experience in his heart, because no matter what, he could not reveal his identity as a barbarian.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shenyi did not ask about his life experience, but very enthusiastically introduced to him the situation of the Seeman Group, at this time he also had some of his own judgment on Yin Dagang's temperament, so he opened his mouth to talk about his origin:
"Captain Yin, I am indeed not from this Northern Desert. Yun Fan said. "I originally came to this northern desert with the people of my clan, but I never expected to encounter a group of robbers to plunder...... My people have been slain by robbers...... Only me and Daifuku escaped......"
"Meow!~" At this time, Dafu beside Yun Fan meowed very cooperatively, looking very cute.
"It turns out that you have been robbed, I said why didn't I find a name tag on you, I thought you kid would be a barbarian!hahahahaha......" At this time, the young man who was called Dabin by Yin Dagang on the side spoke.
"Hahaha......" With Dabin's joke, the members of the surrounding chivalrous group also laughed.
Although the Ji Yuan Realm is the outermost realm of the Ninefold Human Realm, the probability of encountering barbarians in this northern desert is even lower than encountering high-level demonic beasts.
The first time Yun Fan heard this name, he didn't know what it was, but he didn't express it, for fear that the other party would be suspicious.
"This group of hateful robbers......" After hearing what happened to Yun Fan, Yin Dagang clenched his fists with a look of envy and hatred.
Thinking of Dafu's words, Yun Fan raised his head and met Yin Dagang's gaze eagerly: "Head Yin, I want to join the Warrior Group!"
Hearing Yun Fan's words, Yin Dagang was very surprised, he narrowed his eyes, looked at Yun Fan quietly, and did not speak. It seems to be thinking about Yun Fan's purpose.
"Why do you want to join us?" asked Yin Dagang after a moment.
"I want to be strong. Yun Fan met Yin Dagang's gaze without flinching in the slightest.
"How old are you?" asked Yin Dagang.
"Fifteen years old. Yun Fan replied.
"If the reason why you want to become strong is to avenge your people, then I advise you to give up the idea of becoming stronger, if I let you join us, it will hurt you. Yin Dagang watched a fifteen-year-old child say that he wanted to become stronger, and his first thought was that Yun Fan wanted to avenge his parents.
If a person's heart is clouded by hatred, then the rest of his life will be branded with the shadow of hatred. When is the time for retribution, what is the point of a cultivator who is burdened by hatred and blindly pursues to become stronger? If Yun Fan is caused to embark on such a path because of his own intake, this is not the result he wants to see.
"I want to become strong in order to protect my important people, if what I have lost has become the past, then I don't have enough strength in the future, how can I protect what I cherish?" Yun Fan replied.
If the strength is not enough, one's own destiny must be in the hands of others, and only with sufficient strength can one's own destiny be controlled by oneself.
"Being able to say 'guardian' at such a young age really makes me look at it differently. Yin Dagang's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and then he said calmly to Yun Fan: "But...... Our team doesn't raise idlers, you only have the cultivation of the first realm now, and if you want to join our team, you must prove your ability. What can you do?"
Yun Fan saw that Yin Dagang did not directly refuse, which meant that he had the possibility of joining them, and he had to seize this opportunity no matter what.
"I hope that Head Yin can give me a chance to prove myself, I can do anything, and I can endure any hardship. Yun Fan said firmly, he didn't know how Yin Dagang wanted him to prove it, but as long as there was a chance to prove it, he firmly believed that he would be able to grasp it.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance!"
