The southern border of Xinjiang, the small village of Yuer, the village of the sunset.

The green mountains lean on the green, and the lonely bird casts into the forest. The meandering stream is sparkling, like a jade belt hanging from the sunset village. Sunset Village is named after the wonders of the sunset, and it is said that in the early years, occasional wandering poets wandered here, chanted poems against each other, and entered the world to experience life. There are a lot of poems and prose sentences left on the two steles at the entrance of the village.

This is a pure land of the human race, accepting some people who are desperate in the wasteland to avoid being devoured by wild beasts, and gradually gathering people into villages, small scale. It is like an inn in the vast wasteland, lighting up a bright light for the human race.

It's just that in recent years, there have been few people entering this wilderness inn, and those who have gone out have never returned. Under the growth of the other, the people gradually withered, and Sunset Village, as its name suggests, is being swallowed up by the afterglow of dusk.

Sunset Village is sparsely populated, located on the border, and is often infested with fierce insects and beasts, which is extremely grim for human survival.

Surrounded by mountains and ravines, there is only a small amount of farmland that can be cultivated for food, and most of the food needs to be hunted. During the day, the villagers of Sunset Village go out hunting together to make ends meet.

At this moment there was a young boy dancing by the stream, holding his trousers, squatting, and splashing his hands at an old buffalo with crooked horns on the shore.

The old buffalo's hair was as smooth and shiny as silk, and it shook its huge head and made a cheerful "moo" cry from its mouth.

"Little one, Grandpa Mo said that there are beast patterns in the body of the beast, and these beast patterns are amazing. How come I have never seen your animal print?" the child stopped playing, and put his hand up and down on the old buffalo, and touched it to look at it, with a look of curiosity.

Suddenly, a misty cloud floated in the originally clear sky, and the sound of thunder and lightning faintly came out.

The child looked at the sky in astonishment, and the old buffalo with crooked horns seemed to notice something strange and turned his head to look.

"Little one, that cloud looks so strange. The child muttered to himself.

"Moo," the old cow whispered, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with the boy's name or the child's response to the child's question.

At this time, in the midst of that strange cloud, there were three people standing in the air. One of them, an old man, with his hair draped in a sword, his white eyebrows flying obliquely into his temples, his eyes were blazing, and he glared angrily at the two opposites.

This person is a strange thief who is famous in southern Xinjiang - there is no trace of his clever hands, and he is super windy. A stealing skill, superb, coming and going without a trace, and the gods and ghosts are difficult to prevent.

"Qu old monster, hand over the things, I, the two immortals of Xuanshan, will not be embarrassed with you. Otherwise, don't say that you are a good hand, you are a gust of wind, and you have to obediently put it in our pockets today. The old man of Huajia had words in his mouth, and another old man of his age was holding floating dust, his eyes were shining, and he stared at Qu Chaofeng directly.

"Haha, Xuan Lei, Xuan Yun, you two old horsemen have a good wishful thinking, I sacrificed my life to enter the tomb of the Southern Emperor, stole treasures, broke through many obstacles, killed all the way, and fell here after exhaustion.

What are the two immortals of Xuanshan, you two are only spiritual realm monks, the spiritual platform has not been built, and you are also worthy of being called immortals. In my eyes, it's just a young mouse who takes advantage of the fire to rob, a fly camp and a dog!" Qu Chaofeng said coldly.

"It's useless for my junior brother to talk to him more, Qu Lao Wei is now trapped by us in this cloud and thunder array, if he is in his heyday, you and I have to be afraid of him a little. Now, hehe..."Xuanyun stroked the dust in his hand, and the wind and thunder around him became more and more dense.

"Yes, I see that he has now fallen to the level of Qi Cultivator cultivation, but he is just holding on to the two of us. The old man in the green robe looked at Qu Chaofeng without scruples like an eagle's gaze.

"Do it!"

Turning into a dragon

Wind Strike

The two immortals of Xuanshan made a loud noise, intercepting and attacking left and right, the wind was fierce, and the rain and thunder followed. Shoot furiously with a thunderous speed.

Qu Chaofeng was secretly bitter in his heart, knowing that he had run out of oil and dried up, and it was really the end of the crossbow, and the two of them could only die in vain. But the color on his face does not change, and he sighs in his heart, and his hands are like butterflies wearing flowers. Then the five fingers opened, and suddenly tore open to the left and right.

Tyre!

With a soft drink, I saw the void shake like a water wave, and a white light merged into the "water" at a speed beyond his eyes, and rushed out of the wind and thunder array in the blink of an eye.

The children saw that the clouds were getting bigger and bigger, and the sound of thunder and lightning was getting louder and louder. The top of the hill that surrounds the upper reaches of the stream circles sharply, forming a strange whirlpool. There was a boom, the wind and thunder, and the torrential rain poured.

The child was startled, and was trying to lead the old cow to hide from the rain, when suddenly, the clouds exploded, the rain stopped, and the wind disappeared.

The sky is blue, the grass is secluded, and there is no cloud in the boundless blue sky.

"Xuanshan Ergou, don't chase after you quickly, haha. Qu Chaofeng laughed arrogantly outside the wind and thunder array, and disappeared into the sky in a flash.

The attack of the two immortals of Xuanshan fell into the air, but there was still the shadow of Qu Chaofeng. I couldn't help but look at each other in a daze, and I was dumbfounded.

"I'm careless, I didn't expect Qu Chaofeng to have such magical means. Chase!" After Xuanyun reacted, he swept away the wind and thunder array with a wave of floating dust and turned into a streamer and chased after him.

After the three of them disappeared, a leopard with scorched scalp and only three legs poked its head out of the bushes, its eyes showing deep fear, and then shook its head anthropomorphically and disappeared without a trace.

An old man with goosebumps stood under the village monument, he was holding a wooden stick, bending his waist, hunched his back, looking up at the sky at this time, and the earthworm-like wrinkles on his face were layered and criss-crossed, drowning his expression.

"Could it be that there are great supernatural monks fighting the Fa..."

There is an old wooden house at the entrance of the village, there is a leaky grass hut outside the wooden house, and there is a bamboo pole next to the grass shed, and the tea is displayed on the bamboo pole, and a big "tea" word is written.

There are a few old wooden tables and seven or eight long-legged wooden benches randomly placed in the grass shed. Inside, there are some old people from the village who have come to enjoy the coolness.

"I think I heard thunder just now, did you hear that?" said an old man.

"Didn't hear it. The old men shook their heads.

"Hey, people are getting old, blind, deaf, auditory hallucinations, and they are becoming more and more useless. ”

An old man with a rag on his shoulder and a copper kettle with a long mouth turned his head to look at the sky as he walked out of the wooden house.

"Cripple Wang, serve tea, why can't you move the pestle. ”

"I said that you don't want to ask Carpenter Li to make you a wooden prosthetic leg, you have to Mu the iron leg made by the blacksmith. How heavy the iron is, you can't take your old arms and legs, haha. ”

"What are you fooling about, my iron leg encountered a fierce beast outside, and it was able to break two of its teeth. Lao Wang retracted his gaze and limped with a copper kettle to pour tea for the old people.

"It's a strange cloud, and it's gone. The boy looked at the sky again for a long time, but found nothing unusual. Return to the stream and continue to splash around. One person, one cow, having a lot of fun.

"Moo," the old buffalo made a low cry. Two eyes the size of brass bells stared above the stream.

"What's the matter, don't you like to play in the water?" the child pouted, and turned to look up the stream.

"Huh, did someone's clothes fall into the water?" the child looked at the shadow floating down the stream, looking like a piece of clothing, but a little unsure.

Just as he was about to step forward to take a closer look, the shadow suddenly disappeared, like a strange cloud in the sky just now, disappearing without a trace.

The sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun is like gold covering the small village.

The villagers who had returned from hunting gradually walked towards the village. I saw three or four strong men in coarse linen clothes, with blood stains on their weapons still dry, carrying or carrying the corpses of all kinds of wild beasts.

An old man stood at the entrance of the village with a wooden stick, he looked like a village keeper, and smiled kindly at everyone who returned to the village.

"Da Nian, have you ever seen traces of human activities around you when you go out this time?" the old man stood beside the village monument, looked at everyone, and asked slowly.

"Uncle Mo, every time I go out hunting over the years, I will pay attention, but I have not found any traces of human activities. ”

There was a look of disappointment in the old man's cloudy eyes, Sunset Village was getting old day by day like him, and he didn't know where the road to Sunset Village was.

"I'm going to the martial arts arena to see those naughty kids. Chi Danian said.

"You've worked hard, sacrifice Lord Leopard, go home early and rest. The old man said.

Next to the village stele stone is a statue of a leopard's head, which is the totem beast of Sunset Village. It is precisely because of its existence that Sunset Village has been on the border for many years to be protected from the attacks of other fierce insects and beasts.

Chi Danian walked to the statue of the leopard's head, placed the beast's corpse under the leopard's head, and then bowed respectfully.

"Lord Totem, please receive our humble offerings. The crowd bowed their heads and spoke.

Chi Danian left the largest of the prey in place and took the rest of the prey into the village.

"Lord Leopard, what do you think of today's events?" the old man asked.

"They're just passing by and they're gone, and it's okay. The sound of the leopard's head totem reached the old man's ears.

"Sunset Village is now withered, showing the appearance of decay, and there has not been a single person in the past few years. ”

"I've often gone out to explore over the years, and there are indeed no signs of human activity within a radius of thousands of miles, but a few small beasts outside have now become the climate. A few years ago, most of the people who went out in the village were buried in their mouths and stomachs, and ordinary people encountered them dead and alive. You ask Xiao Nian to narrow the scope of the hunt as much as possible to avoid provoking them. ”

"The people in the village are withering, and there are groups of beasts looking around, and it is difficult to walk and stay. The old man's uneasiness grew stronger, and it was not a pity that he was dying of old age, but what about the rest of Sunset Village.

"Difficult! dilemma!" Leopard Totem mused.

At this time, a little shepherd boy and an old buffalo with curved horns slowly walked towards the entrance of the village.

When the shepherd boy walked to the village monument, he respectfully bowed to the leopard's head totem.

"Mu Feng, are you going to herd cattle again today?"

"Hello Grandpa Mo. ”

"Do you want to practice martial arts, if you want to practice martial arts, I will go to the unenlightened Mu blacksmith and say. ”

"Grandpa Mo... I'll go home first, and I'll listen to your story in the tea shed another day. Mu Feng snorted.

"Hey, this kid is as tough as his father. The old man shook his head helplessly.

Mu Feng rode the old buffalo with curved horns, walked into the village, walked through the grass shed where the tea was fluttering, and the four hooves of the old buffalo stepped on the bluestone path, causing a series of kicking and tapping sounds, which echoed endlessly for a long time.

When the old man was far away, the leopard head statue suddenly opened its eyes, and the corpse of the beast on the ground turned into a dry bone at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly, the dry bone collapsed and became a puff of dust.

"The power of the sacrifice is getting weaker and weaker, and it can't match the speed of my decay, and if it continues like this, I will die in a few years. What should you do in Sunset Village?Master, will you come back?" the leopard head suddenly closed his eyes.

"Little one, you wait for me here. ”

After hesitating again and again, Mu Feng couldn't help but stop, stroked the old cow's corners, jumped off the cow's back, and slowly walked towards a bluestone wall. As his footsteps drew nearer, the child faintly heard the familiar and longing voices of him.

"You have to train hard and bring out your potential. This will be your capital to survive in the wasteland. ”

"Uncle Chi, I've run 100 laps, can I rest?"

"I squatted for three hours, and my waist was weak. ”

"The iron rod is too heavy for me to wield. ”

....

Mu Feng's heart was hot, standing on the stone pier in the corner, stretching his head, stalking his neck, and looking at the scene inside the wall with his eyes, revealing a longing light.

It was three children his age, and they were all kinds of movements around a bearded middle-aged man. or draw a bow and shoot arrows, or march on foot, or wield an iron rod, or lift a stone pier.

"Uncle Chi, look, Brother Mu Feng has come to see us practicing martial arts again. The two little girls with their buns on their heads put down the iron rods they were waving, crossed their waists with one hand, and gasped for breath, and their little goose eggs were red and fluttering like ripe apples.

"Yaya, practice carefully and don't be distracted. Chi Danian looked at the little head emerging from the bluestone wall and said.

"Hmph, Uncle Chi, don't call people by their nicknames, I've grown up. In the future, you will call me Mo Xiaoyu. The little girl puffed out her cheeks, pouted, and said dissatisfied.

"Boom"

Chi Danian smashed his fist on the stone pier, and the stone pier cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, and shattered with a bang.

"One day if you can crack the stone pier with one punch like me, I won't call you Yaya anymore. The future of Sunset Village needs to be guarded by you, and you are not serious about training now. Chi Danian kept a straight face and restored the majesty of the martial arts instructor.

"And you, Chubby Dun, shoot arrows well, if you can't shoot 100 bullseyes today, you can add 500 laps of running. Chi Danian stopped the child who was about to talk with a look.

"I don't know what Blacksmith Mu thinks, if a good seedling is not sent to practice martial arts and strengthen his body, he will go to herd cattle and chop firewood, and do some women's work. If I encounter a strong man and a beast in the future, I think it will be difficult to save my life.

When he came to Sunset Village, he neither hunted nor practiced martial arts, and a good man had to run to learn to make iron, and he really had a father and a son. I don't know how Uncle Mo agreed to let him strike iron. Chi Danian forgot to glance at the little head popping up from the wall again, and said.

Everyone who comes to Sunset Village must go to the village chief to register with them. Then the village chief will arrange the things, and the young men will be assigned the task of hunting.

After all, Sunset Village is barren, with many old and weak women and children, and needs to rely on a lot of hunting to make a living. And Mu Ze, who was supposed to be arranged to hunt back then, was arranged by the village chief to work on iron.

According to the words of the village chief at that time, it also takes young people to strike iron, and with high-level weapons, they can be invincible in hunting, which is the principle of sharpening knives and cutting wood.

At first, some people were not convinced, but Mu Ze was indeed very talented in the way of blacksmithing, and the weapons he forged were all high-quality, which greatly improved the efficiency of the villagers' hunting, and gradually people accepted this blacksmith.

Ran Mu Blacksmith is now middle-aged, and he wants to hand over the business of ironmaking to Mu Feng.

As the martial artist of Sunset Village, Chi Danian wants to train young people with hunting ability for Sunset Village, and when the people of Sunset Village wither, of course he doesn't want Mu Feng to strike iron, but to practice martial arts with him.

When the last light of the sunset dissipated, Mu Feng, the little head that emerged from the wall, left with him.

"Little one, why don't you say that my parents don't want me to practice martial arts with Uncle Chi with Yaya Fat Dun'er?" Mu Feng muttered to himself riding on the back of a cow.

"It's a man's responsibility to protect the village, and my parents won't know it. Then why don't you let me practice martial arts? ”

"Do you think I'm too young? ”

"Or my father thinks I'm not suitable for martial arts. ”

....

Every day, these questions would linger in Mu Feng's mind, hovering like clouds, and he could only confide in the old buffalo.

The two immortals of Xuanshan chased all the way, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Qu Chaofeng, and they were overjoyed. Suddenly, Qu Chaofeng, who was galloping in front of him, turned into a streamer and disappeared without a trace like a punctured balloon. Only the two Xuanshan with gloomy faces were left.

"What a golden silkworm out of its shell! ”

"I didn't expect him to have such a supernatural power of an out-of-body incarnation, and use an incarnation to lure us away. ”

At the same time, in a cave on a cliff somewhere, an old man's eyes were like electricity, staring at an object in his hand. It was a palm-sized piece of swarthy stone with faint handwriting on it.

"Haha, providence, providence. "Taixuan Sutra" is famous in southern Xinjiang, how could it be easily obtained by me. It turned out that I fought for my life in exchange for "Taixuan Jing" at all. It's just this ordinary method of practicing qi and mind.

Ay... The old man, I have been agitating all my life, hunting geese all day long, and finally being pecked blind by geese. Lingling, grandpa can't take care of you anymore..."The old man laughed maniacally, with tears in his laughter, and his face was full of dryness.
