Chapter 1: The One-Eyed Boy
Cangbei Mountain, on the Jiuzhen Peak.
Overgrown with weeds, wildflowers dotted the grass but not a decadent landscape.
It used to be a holy place, but as the years went by, even ordinary people didn't bother to go up the mountain to collect medicine, because at this time, the most weeds on this mountain were the most, and even some wild beasts were very rare.
"I'll go, isn't that my rabbit?" But at the top of the mountain, a depressed voice sounded.
The speaker, a young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, wearing a coarse cloth robe, was at this time full of depression, and his snow-white teeth were constantly grinding.
It's a pity that although this young man was born beautifully, he only had one eye, and the other eye was covered with a black blindfold, and he looked blind for a long time.
"Ahh
There was a bamboo skewer on the campfire, and although the roast rabbit still smelled like a faint smell, most of it had been eaten, and only a skeleton remained.
"Master, you, you are too much of a bully, do you know how hard I have gone to catch this rabbit?"
"Stinky boy, Lao Tzu has raised you for sixteen years, taught you skills, gave you food and drink, didn't he eat you a rabbit?
"I ...... I remember that I have been busy supporting you all these years, right?" The young man widened his only eye, this old man was really talking nonsense with his eyes open!
"Okay, okay, you also have a lot of trouble with me at this point, what do we have to do with it? Don't forget, it was Lao Tzu who raised you kid to adulthood!" The old man waved his hand impatiently, gnawed the rabbit's legs to the brine, threw the bones, and then rubbed his greasy hand on the dirty burlap clothes, and then licked his lips, looking unsatisfied.
"You called me over, didn't you just show off that you roasted my rabbit?" the young man grinded his teeth, but he shook his head helplessly: "I'll go back first if there's nothing to do, there is still a knife on the stove that hasn't been drilled!"
"What's the hurry?" the old man burped, but then tore off a piece of rabbit meat, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it: "Zhang Chao, you are sixteen years old, don't you always ask me, who are your parents and where have they gone?"
"Why are you mentioning this?" Zhang Chao frowned: "Didn't you tell me that you didn't know, I picked it up in the garbage heap?"
"Hey, you really believe it!" The old man put the rabbit meat in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then put on a very serious look, shook his finger and said: "No, no, no, your parents just left for some reason, and now that you have grown up, I won't keep you old man, do you want to go to them?"
"Hmph, people who haven't cared about me since I was a child, what am I looking for them?" Zhang Chao pursed his lips and hugged his arms, looking unhappy.
"Don't be hard-mouthed, I'm not afraid to tell you, the last time I saw them, that is, when they handed you over to me, was in Cannes, although sixteen years have passed, I guess you can still find some clues, if you want to find it, look for it, young man, go out for a walk, broaden your horizons, see the world, what does it mean to follow me all day long?" the old man sighed.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Zhang Chao looked at the old man suspiciously: "Why did you suddenly say such a thing? If I leave, can you live by yourself?"
"Bah, are you really too old to move?" the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, then put his hand into his arms, groped for a long time, and took out a fingernail-sized, black thing: "Come here!"
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Chao immediately put on a fighting posture vigilantly.
"I don't beat you, look at you little coward, it's really embarrassing for me to say that it is my master's apprentice!" The old man took a sip, and then beckoned: "Come here quickly!"
"I'll go, how can you be sure? Say it's training me, and beat me up at every turn, thanks to my experience ten years earlier!" Zhang Chao cautiously approached the master.
But when he was still two feet away from the master, the master suddenly reached out and grabbed it forward, and vaguely, as if an invisible big hand reached out, directly clamped Zhang Chao's wrist, and dragged him in front of the master.
"Let's go!" Then, the master's palm holding the thing flipped over and slapped it directly on Zhang Chao's blindfold!
"Ahh
The master let go of Zhang Chao, let Zhang Chao stagger back a few steps, squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand to cover the blind eye, and kept panting heavily.
The pain was so sharp that his head went blank and he screamed "buzzing".
"I rely on your old mallet, you're really crazy, it hurts me to death, what are you doing?" Zhang Chao relieved himself after a long time and roared angrily.
"Don't worry about scolding the streets, aren't you going down the mountain, I don't have anything for you to take, and you know that we are both destitute, so I can only give you a gift!" the master waved his hand and continued to catch rabbit meat to eat.
After squatting for a long time, the pain slowly disappeared, and Zhang Chao took his hand away.
Immediately after, a glimmer of light appeared in front of the eyes of the blind man who had been blind since childhood!
"Eye...... My eyes...... Can my eyes see?" he was stunned, then shocked, then ecstatic!
"Remember, you can slowly experience the magic of these eyes, but remember, don't tell anyone that your eyes are fake, otherwise...... There are endless troubles!" the master reminded leisurely.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Chao nodded hurriedly, and then said to the master solemnly: "Master, since you are so good to me, I will also tell you one thing, the rabbit you eat, I was scattered yesterday, but seeing that your old man's body is so strong, he shouldn't be pulled to death, take care!"
"Ah, what is it?" the master was stunned, and there was still a piece of rabbit meat in his mouth that he hadn't swallowed, but then there was a sound in his stomach, which made his old face change color in an instant.
"I'm relying on you little rabbit cub, what kind of medicine are you putting into the rabbit?"
"Poof...... "There was an earth-shattering fart sound, followed by a thousand miles of stink!"......
"Little cub, come back to me, I can't spare you!" The angry roar echoed in the mountains, accompanied by a heart-rending feeling, like circling the beam for three days, and it did not disperse for a long time......
At this time, Zhang Chao had already packed his bags and hummed a little song and went down the mountain.
"This kid is definitely a scourge, it's better to leave early, whoever is harmed by him, then ask for more blessings!" After a long time, the master walked out of the woods with his trousers and weak legs.
The staggering, trembling appearance was obviously a little prostration.
But before he could take two steps, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in his stomach again.
"Holy!" he gritted his teeth and hurried into the woods again......
"Alas, Master, Master, I didn't expect you to have this ability, you can cure my eyes, I thought you were just an old man who doesn't repair iron!" Walking down the mountain, Zhang Chao muttered with some 'guilt': "Oh, he shouldn't be pulled to death, right? Well, it shouldn't be, don't look at his age, he is stronger than a cow, then I don't have to go back to care about him!"
Although he had a hard mouth before, he missed his parents every day who he had never met.
He wanted to know why his parents left him back then, and he also longed for the same way that he could give other children, with their parents' shoulders to rely on, and a warm embrace to use as a haven from the wind.
However, he had long wanted to go down the mountain to break through, and it happened that this time it was the master's initiative to propose it, so why not?
But in what direction is Kancheng, he vaguely remembers that Cangbei Peak is quite far to the south, and he seems to have been there with his master once when he was six or seven years old, but the years are too long, and he is really a little uncertain.
"If I knew I had just asked for the way, forget it, if I go back and ask now, I will definitely be killed by that old fellow, I'd better take a look first, and then say hello if there are passers-by!" he scratched his head, and walked towards the south first.
After walking straight for more than half an hour, he finally saw a figure flickering in front of him.
"I'm going, but it's someone, this Cangbei Peak is really, there is no grass within a radius of dozens of miles, why did the old man of the master make a mistake in his head, and chose such a place where birds don't for sixteen years, and he still took me with him!" He sighed depressedly, and quickened his pace a few times towards the figure.
But just as he was about to get closer, he saw dead bodies on the ground, blood flowing in all directions, there were seven or eight corpses, and the death of each person was very miserable, almost being split open by a knife, and the internal organs were scattered, accompanied by a pungent smell of blood.
And behind a large stone, there was a trace of Yuan Force fluctuations emanating from it.
Moreover, a woman's crisp shoulders were exposed outside the stone, and she had no clothes!
"Yuan Force Fluctuations, here are cultivators? This is ...... Cultivator did it?" he gasped, it couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
What I just encountered when I came down the mountain was the scene of the murder?
But what about that woman?
And the slightest fluctuation of Yuan Force can prove that the person behind the stone at least has the strength of the third layer of the Kaiyuan Realm!
I am in the past...... Or stay away?
