Li Ji let out a sigh, a bitter smile remained at the corner of his mouth, and slowly closed his eyes, looking forward to the moment when the sharp claw pierced into his chest, and his heart suddenly changed.

Just as the centipede was ready to attack, jumped up, and wanted to dismember Li Barrier, there was a sudden sound of 'buzzing ......' metal breaking through the air in the distance, and a long sword, sticking to the ground, flew quickly towards the centipede that jumped high.

The centipede immediately sensed the flying long sword, and wanted to dodge, but the body was already in the air, and it couldn't retract the momentum, so it could only flip its body and use the back carapace to resist, and the 'bell', the long sword hit the carapace, and the carapace shattered a section in response, and the centipede screamed 'chirp', and flew out three feet away before stopping, and the pain was unbearable for a long time.

The long sword flipped and flew back, and a Taoist in a soapy yellow robe flew over, caught the long sword that flew back, turned over and fell, the long sword was horizontal, and looked down at Li Barrier who fell to the ground.

The man said, "Child, it's all right!"

Li Jian opened his eyes slightly, only to see this Taoist, with silver hair tied with hemp rope, silver beard floating on his chest, yellow eyes and thin body, just about to speak, he couldn't support it anymore, and fainted.

The Taoist leaned down to check the injury, frowned, stretched out his fingers to quickly seal Li Barrier's acupoint, and stopped the bleeding wrist.

The man shouted: "Demon, where to escape!" Carrying the sword, he stepped on it, and went out more than a foot away, and caught up with the galloping centipede from behind in a few steps, jumped up, waved the long sword, and flew above the centipede, the long sword went straight down, stabbing at the carapace of the centipede's back, and with a 'poof' sound, it pierced into the gap between the carapaces, penetrated the body of the centipede, and plunged directly into the ground, the centipede's body immediately trembled, and wanted to stop, but it was too late, and the carapace and body of the last three sections were divided into two halves by the long sword, and the blood spurted out, and the centipede' Chirp' scream, angrily reversed the body, more than a dozen sharp feet grabbed the Taoist, the Daoist's long sword bent, took advantage of the momentum to fly, the body jumped, swept a sword, the centipede's body was erected high, the 'swish' sword, the head of the beetle was cut off, the blood was like a fountain, gushing out, the body was crooked, and he fell to the ground and convulsed.

This person's body is brisk, and his swordsmanship is free, and he killed this huge centipede with two swords, but he couldn't dodge, and the Dao robe was splashed with dirty blood, which was slightly embarrassed.

The man waited for the centipede to stop twitching, walked to the centipede's corpse, lifted the sword, cut the centipede's abdomen, picked it with a sword, picked out a black sphere the size of a bird's egg, caught it with his hand, walked to the stream to wash it, put it in the package, untied the robe, soaked it in the water, showed a thin and tough body, washed his face and hands with stream water, washed his neck and armpits by the way, washed the sword again, put it aside to dry, washed the robe and hung it on a tree to dry, took out another clean soapy robe from the package and put it on, then put away the sword, came to Li Barrier's side without hurry, squatted down, took out a strip of rags from the package, and bandaged Li Barrier's wound, picked up Li Ji's other hand, pressed his three fingers lightly on the vein, put his pulse, suddenly "Huh", frowned, paused for a long time, stroked his beard and said: "Strange, how can there be such a pulse!" took out a white vial from the package, poured out a small red pill, put it into Li Ji's mouth, and after helping him take it, he frowned and pondered.

......

Li Barrier woke up by the warm bonfire, and saw that he was in a cave, covered with a Taoist robe, and the white-haired Taoist sat by the bonfire and saw Li Barrier wake up, and said kindly: "Child, you are awake!"

Li Jian coughed lightly and said weakly, "I'm not dead yet?"

"Of course you're not dead, but your pulse is strange, I've never seen a person with such a pulse still alive, when did you get this disease?"

Li Jian reluctantly sat up and said softly: "I was born with it, those people said that I shouldn't have lived in the world, and I was born with a wicked obstacle." ”

"Then it shouldn't be said that there is a reason to be alive, everything goes naturally, by the way, why did you meet that centipede spirit in the wilderness, your family?"

Li Jian knew that his life was saved by this white-haired Taoist, and he wanted to tell his life experience, but when he saw the Taoist robe on his body, he had a problem with it, and said lightly: "The family of the younger generation starved to death in the escape, and only I was left, and I was left with the barren mountain by mistake, and I met the centipede, if it wasn't for the grandfather's rescue, the younger generation would definitely be buried in his belly, and I am grateful to my grandfather for saving me." After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed.

The white-haired Taoist smiled and said, "No need, just raise your hands, hurry up, are you hungry?" Pick up the roasted pheasant meat next to the fire and hand it to Li Zhan.

Li Jian looked at the roasted brown chicken, nodded heavily, "um", took it and ate it, although this was not the best food he had ever eaten, but at this time he felt that this was the most fragrant food, and after a while, the whole pheasant was eaten only to the bones, which was cleaner than that of the weasel.

The white-haired Taoist watched Li Jian finish eating the pheasant, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are really hungry!"

Li Jian said ashamedly: "The younger generation is out of shape, only caring about himself, but forgetting his grandfather." ”

The white-haired Taoist smiled: "Poor Dao has already eaten, if you don't have enough, there is still there." He pointed to the three plucked pheasants lying under the stone wall.

Li Jian exclaimed: "How did Grandpa use to call so many pheasants?"

The white-haired Taoist picked up a stone, "Just use this stone!" said him, with a flick of his wrist, the stone flew out and embedded in the stone wall with a 'pop'.

When Li Jian saw this hand, he remembered the scene when the Qingpao Daoist used the flying locust stone to shoot down his mother's dagger, and said in his heart: "This Dao person is equal to the strength of the Qingpao Daoist, I don't know if it is a person all the way, I better be careful." His eyes widened and he was surprised: "Grandpa actually has such a divine skill, I don't know how this magic skill is refined?"

"This is not a magic skill, as long as the internal force reaches a certain level, it will naturally be refined. ”

"Where did Grandpa learn this stunt?"

The white-haired Taoist sighed and said: "The poor Dao was learned from the master, the master of the poor Dao, the Dao name is Withered Willow, is a real person who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, does not ask about the world, is unknown, and has been immortal for many years!"

Li Zhan apologized and said: "I'm offended, I hope grandpa will forgive me, I don't know if grandpa has a respectful name, is there still a fellow disciple?"

The white-haired Taoist said: "The master has passed on alone, and the Taoist name is red sandalwood." ”

After Li Jian heard this, his heart was half lowered, but he was still wary of the Taoist priest in front of him, "Xie Zitan is really gracious, grandpa's honorific name, and the younger generation will always remember it!"

"Where is the real person, the poor Dao is just a wandering Taoist, passing by here, subduing demons and eliminating demons, it is a matter of duty, by the way, child, what are your plans, where are you going in the future?"

Li Barrier's eyes were dim, "The younger generation is suffering from an incurable disease, and if you live one day, you will go wherever you go!"

The Purple Sandalwood Daoist looked at the child in his early tens, and actually said such old words, and felt pity in his heart, "The poor Dao is more than half a hundred years old, the body is weak, and he is gradually tired when he travels all over the world, and you are a child, in this chaotic years, where can you go, it is better to stay here, I will meditate and enlighten, and you can live here." ”

Li Jian immediately understood what Zi Sandalwood meant, knelt on the ground and bowed again, "Grandpa Xie took it in, if the younger generation lives for one day, he will accompany his grandfather for one day!"

Rosewood Daoist smiled and said: "That's good, that's good, you don't have to be depressed, although you are suffering from a strange disease, but you may not live long, as you said, you were born with this disease, didn't you live for more than ten years?"

Li Shuxin said: "I have lived for all these years, exhausted all the savings of my mother, eaten all kinds of medicinal materials and endured all kinds of pain, so that I can support it until now, if I didn't have my mother, I would have died a long time ago!"

Zi Sandalwood said: "People always think about some beautiful things when they live, so that they can have a direction in life." ”

"The younger generation has been taught!"

"Poor Dao looks at your pulse, presumably you must have suffered a lot, although you are not good at medical skills, but you also know that you are lacking in qi, so you took the 'Qi Condensing Pill' when you were asleep, how do you feel now?"

Li Jian felt that his body seemed to be a little lighter than before, "I feel that my body is much lighter!"

"That's right, this 'Qi Condensing Pill' is to raise the middle qi, it is refined by the master of the poor Dao to help me cultivate, but unfortunately his old man went early, and the poor Dao failed to inherit, only the three that were not necessary to take at that time remained, if his old man was alive, he would definitely be able to refine the 'Qi Condensing Pill' that you can't eat, but it can be inferred from this that the source of your illness is the non-condensation of qi, so no matter what tonic you take, it is difficult to absorb, just like fishing through the net, no matter how many fish there are, you can't catch one!"

Although the doctor who has seen Li Barrier also knows that the qi and blood are insufficient, the pulse is weak and disordered, and the prescriptions prescribed are all drugs that replenish qi and blood, the price is not only expensive, but also has little effect, and there is no problem at all, Li Barrier has been ill for a long time and has become a semi-doctor, and the inference of Rosewood, Li Barrier has never heard it, and it feels like this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Grandpa, you have a unique eye, can you cure the younger generation?"

Zi Sandalwood stroked his silver beard in his hand and said with a smile: "Poor Dao thinks, if you can practice the Tao and condense qi in your body, maybe you will make up for the lack of middle qi in your body and get rid of this disease." ”

Li Jian couldn't hear what Zi Sandalwood meant, knelt down again, and begged: "I beg grandpa, accept the younger generation as an apprentice!"

Zi Sandalwood smiled: "Okay, good, but I don't even know your name yet!"

"Apprentice, Li Barrier. ”

"Why did you take that word?"

"The name of the apprentice was given by his father, saying that I was born with a wicked obstacle and spent a lot of money on the family, so I named it Li Barrier. ”

"Hehe, your father is very interesting, he was born thinking that his child was a wicked obstacle, hehe, then you don't hate your father?"

Wuji's heart was sour, "How can the parents who are destined to be hated." ”

"Well, okay, since the teacher accepts you as an apprentice, I need to give you a Taoist name, so let's do it, there is an obstacle in your name, just keep the word your parents gave you, in order to show filial piety, add the word 'none' in front of the teacher, I hope you can eliminate the disease, and have a smooth road in life, how about you call it 'no obstacles' in the future?"

Li Jian said gratefully: "The name that Master chose is good, and that disciple will be called 'Wuji' in the future!"

"Well, cultivators should follow the Dao Dharma, go with the flow, purify their hearts and desires, and cultivate their self-cultivation, but you don't need it, you just need to strengthen your body and prolong your life. ”

"The disciple obeys the teacher's orders. ”

"This mountain is called Cangyan Mountain, legend has it that someone has seen Canglong on this mountain, so it is named, for the teacher to find this cave on the mountain, the ground is good, it is estimated that this place must be warm in winter and cool in summer, our master and apprentice will live here in the future. ”

Li Barrier, who has always been very indifferent on the outside, couldn't hide the joy in his heart at this time, and he was already relieved at this time, and his beautiful eyes flashed with hope.

"Okay, you're injured and need to cultivate, and when your body recovers a little, I'll teach you the Qi Condensing Mantra again. After speaking, he lay on the straw mat that had been laid out and rested sideways with his eyes closed.

......

Wuxian has not slept for a long time, lying by the fire, it seems that in the near future, he will lose this weak body, no longer suffer from the physical torture, and can live a healthy life.

"Alive, my mother has been supporting me to live, she is so strong, she left me. ”

"Living, my father who has always regarded me as a hindrance, and in the end, in order to keep me alive, he gave up everything and was plotted by others. ”

"And my brother, he died so tragically. ”

"All they left me with was 'alive'. ”

"Whether their bodies will be buried, where they will be buried, dare not think. ”

"The way they left, I was scared when I thought about it, and my heart hurt terribly. ”

"Who to report that kind of hatred, I cultivate hard, will my cultivation be stronger than that Qing-robed Daoist, can I kill him?"

"What if I kill him, my parents and brother won't come back, there is no way to change it. ”

......

The dry wood had burned out, and the cave was dark, leaving only warm soot and faint sparks.
