The next day, it was noon.

In the village, the houses made of green bamboo are divided into separate houses, and several large residences occupy each other, enclosing a large open space. The central part of the clearing is paved with bluestone bricks into a small square, and several paths spread outward, also paved with bluestone bricks, leading to various places.

On the west side of the square, there is a stone well, and several young women and grandmothers are sitting around the well chatting from time to time, and the needlework in their hands is also interspersed.

In the middle of the square, the children were trotting and laughing and playing games, shouting the nursery rhyme in unison, "Becoming an immortal cliff, ten thousand feet, once you enter the clear clouds, your sleeves are light, and you will become an immortal without ten deaths!"

A peaceful, joyful atmosphere emanates from here and spreads to every corner of Bamboo Village.

A teenager in a black vest and trousers squinted his eyes and walked slowly through the square, and he couldn't help but feel wonderful when he heard the children happily chanting nursery rhymes. It's just that leisurely, it seems that the words and sentences of the nursery rhyme have changed slightly, and I can't help but listen carefully.

"Little Dingzi, high ambitions, looking at the sky before becoming an immortal cliff, I want to be a fairy in the clouds~!

Little Dingzi, high ambitions..."

Between his ears, Ding Yan felt a slight itch on his cheeks, turned his head and rushed over there to greet him, "Lianbao!

The girl who was called Lotus Treasure had her hair tied up, her facial features were delicate, her face was round, she was only a year younger than Ding Yan, but she was not afraid, and she replied in a loud voice, "Brother Ding Yan, this is what I just changed in the morning, how about it, it's good! The children are waiting for you to really become an immortal and come back to teach you spells!"

"Ahem..." Ding Yan cleared his throat and said, "Okay, okay, Lianbao, don't go crazy with them, today is the old man's birthday, don't be tired of playing, go to sleep at night and miss it." 」

"Hey, little dingzi, you're here, that's great!" a woman's voice sounded in the distance.

"Aunt Li, what's wrong?" Ding Yan asked.

"Hey, since last night, my little flower has been screaming non-stop, I'm almost at the end of the hour before I finally fell asleep for a while, but when I opened my eyes, the little flower was gone, and I didn't find it in the village, so I wondered if I should run to the mountains and forests, hey, my worrying baby..."

This little flower is a yellow and white raccoon cat raised by Aunt Li, and she only plays in her yard on weekdays, in contrast, she is a stable and obedient child, and this time it is rare to run out, but Aunt Li is in a hurry.

"Xiao Dingzi, you are familiar with the bamboo forest, help Aunt Li find it, hey, I'm not afraid that he will go out into the wilderness, but there are many cliffs in the forest, I'm really afraid that he will accidentally fall down and become an immortal..."

Ding Yan was also anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly responded, "Aunt Li, don't be anxious, I'll go and see, Xiaohua is very clever, and she will be fine." With that, he took three steps and made two steps along the bluestone path to the depths of the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest surrounds the southeast, west and west sides of the village, and it is quiet and deep, and the forest is clear. Unconsciously, it was already waning, but Ding Yan was still running all over the mountains, and there was a rush of panting and shouting from a certain side.

"Big brother, big brother, where are you!"

"Well, little tiger, why are you here? Hearing that it was Xiaohuzi's voice, Ding Yan also turned around and raised his voice.

"Oh, you can kill me. Xiaohuzi, who had just sat on the ground, stood up with a "poof" and pulled Ding Yan to a random direction, and ran away, "Big brother, run! My sister is chasing me." 」

"Wow, Xiaohuzi, what are you messing with your sister, why are you pulling me, Sister Xiulin can't stop me if she starts a rush, and I still have something, Aunt Li's little flower is lost, I'm looking for it." 」

"Hey, don't care about the little flowers and greens, I have a big deal this time!" Xiaohuzi pulled Ding Yan out a lot more, and then stopped and gasped fiercely, then looked around again, and smiled at Ding Yan thief, "Hehe!"

"What the hell is going on?" Ding Yan said with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe!" Xiao Huzi didn't speak, still smiling mysteriously at Ding Yan.

"Say it quickly!" Ding Yan patted Xiaohuzi's head and said.

"Hey, hey!"

"Hey hey, I'm leaving. Ding Yan pinched the vest on his chest and shook it a few times, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and ignored Xiaohuzi's desire to leave.

"Oh, big brother, don't go, look what this is!" Xiaohuzi saw that Ding Yan no longer asked himself, and quickly took out a somewhat old book from his shorts and shook it.

Looking at the things in Xiaohuzi's hand, Ding Yan grabbed it, and when he saw the three words printed on the book, he couldn't help but say, "Zongying Gong?!, Xiaohuzi, why did you get it, hasn't this booklet been on your grandfather all the time!"

Looking at Ding Yan's hands that were shaking with excitement, Xiaohuzi smiled proudly, "Hehe, that old man didn't know what was crazy yesterday, he was drunk alone, I drew a turtle on his face, he didn't even know." I touched this booklet when I helped him change his clothes in the morning, and now the old man is still sleeping, and I am afraid that I have forgotten it on my birthday. 」

"But it looks like my sister found out, and she's chasing me now. 」

"Zongying Gong", it is said that this booklet is a volume of exercises compiled by Ding Siguo back then, and it is also said to be an evil book, Ding Siguo wanted to destroy it, but when he did it, he was a little reluctant, and he tossed and turned a few hands and went to Xiaohuzi's grandfather, Ding Yan has been talking about it since he heard Xiaohuzi talk about it, but he has never had the opportunity to see it.

Every time I mentioned this thing to the old man, it would cause a lot of anger, and the scolded dog was bloody, saying that this was one of the three prohibitions in the village, and Hugh would mention it again.

"Hey, hey!" This time it was Ding Yan's turn to be silly.

The two heads gradually came together, and as Ding Yan trembled his fingers to open the somewhat yellowed pages, the ink-colored handwriting was also revealed.

"Zongying Skill, the strongest spiritual slave in the world, peeking at the aura of other Xuantian, the source of this realm, it is difficult to cultivate. Although it is unpredictable, it is like the power of hell, and it is vicious and abnormal. This skill was cultivated during his lifetime, and he was accomplished after his death..."

Ding Yan read word by word excitedly, but he was suddenly stunned, "After death, Dacheng, that is still a fart of cultivation, messy, little tiger, you say." 」

"I think so, it shouldn't be that the old man is going crazy and writing nonsense... It's also a chatter, what are the three forbidden..."

Just as the two were talking, a strange voice sounded behind their heads.

"What are you two talking about?"

The two heads twisted back slightly at the same time, and they saw Xiulin's squinting eyes, smiling lightly but close to her beautiful face.

"Oh!" the two exhaled in unison, and then ran off into the distance without looking back.

"Stop! Little Huzi, you're so bold! I have to teach you a good lesson this time! Little Dingzi, didn't you say that you wouldn't fight this volume again! I really believe your nonsense, and I know it's unreliable! Look at it again, I... I—" Xiu Lin couldn't think of anything that could threaten Ding Yan for a while, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"I'll ignore you again!"

The two of them ran with all their might, but they both felt their shoulders sink, and a pair of slender jade hands were placed on them without warning.

"Sister Xiulin, you run... It's really fast..." Ding Yan's facial features twisted for a while, and his face became a little ugly.

"Just take one last look..."As he spoke, Ding Yan turned a page suddenly, staring intently at the small words on it, and the sparkle in his eyes kept flowing, "The abyss of the abdomen is breaking through the clouds, and the sun is turning into silver frost in the heart. The door of the Qiongguang Star is open, and the illusion of the virtual and the real is also boundless. The shadow will come, the shadow will move, and the shadow will disappear!"

Ding Yan's eyes were secluded, a ray of dazzling sunlight sprinkled down, the shadows became a forest, and a subtle air flow gathered and surged, and then slowly condensed on Ding Yan's body.

"Whew!" Xiu Lin only felt the lightness of her hand, how could there be a figure of Ding Yan in front of her! Flowing bright eyes looked around again and again, only to see a dark shadow swimming in the surrounding forests, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.

It wasn't an afterimage that turned out to be so fast, but a ghostly figure that emerged in the darkness of the ground in the shade of each shadowed bamboo!

"Big brother... It's amazing..."Xiao Huzi was dumbfounded, and even forgot to run away, looking at the weird and inexplicable Ding Yan in front of him stupidly.

Ding Yan, who turned into a shadow, the frequency of the phantom movement became faster and faster, and with the shouting and clapping of Xiaohuzi, Ding Yan struggled to squeeze out a voice from his throat, "I... Stop... It's down..."

I don't know how long it took, Ding Yan's posture gradually recovered from the dark shadow, and finally stopped moving in front of a somewhat thick long bamboo.

"Bang!"

Ding Yan's body leaned straight back, slamming heavily on the ground, startling a few fallen leaves and a touch of dust, and then, there was no more movement.

"Little Dingzi!"

"Big brother!"

... ...

... ...

When Ding Yan woke up slightly, he was already lying on a soft couch.

"Little Dingzi, you're awake!"

Ding Yan, who wanted to get up, felt that his body was inexplicably a little heavy, and after twisting a few times with difficulty, he leaned on the side of the soft bed.

"Get up and do it, lie down, do you know that you scared me and Xiaohuzi to death just now!" Xiulin said hurriedly.

"Sister Xiulin... I'm in trouble again... What time is it now. Ding Yan's voice was a little weak.

"It's been less than an hour. After you passed out, Xiaohuzi and I carried you back, this is my room... By the way, little tiger, call grandpa!"

"Hey!" the little tiger replied and ran out.

"Crunch. The sound of the wooden door turning was the first to sound, and then a calm and deep voice came.

"Boy Ding, you're awake. 」

The person who came was wearing a scarlet robe, tied his hair, beard, thin cheeks, full of heaven, and slightly protruding cheekbones, and he looked like he was over half a hundred years old, but the momentum of not being angry and arrogant all over his body was impossible to underestimate.

This person is the grandfather of Xiulin and Xiaohuzi, and he is also the head of a village, with the surname Shou Ming dialect.

"Grandpa Fang Yan..." Ding Yan saw someone coming, and actually stood up.

"Can you move?" Shou dialect's voice was cold and flat, making it impossible to hear the tone.

"Uh... Well. 」

"Then you go. 」

Hearing this, Xiu Lin hurriedly said, "Grandpa! Xiao Dingzi just woke up, let him rest again!

"He's fine!" Lin Fangyan's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Ding Yan. Then he said, "Ding Yan, you can understand the meaning of my words!"

「！」

"Old man, what do you mean, just say it, the gods are chattering, what's wrong with the eldest brother!" Xiao Huzi, who had not been silent, spoke.

"Hmph, what do you mean, I mean let him get out of here, don't come back!" Lin Fangyan shook his hand, turned around, and glared at Xiaohuzi.

Xiao Huzi was not afraid of the old man's sharp eyes, and pulled his neck and said back, "Old man, it's just that I took a few glances at your broken book, and you're going to get rid of the eldest brother, narrow-minded! Narrow-minded! Then you can drive me away with me!"

Looking at the little tiger who contradicted him, the old man was not angry, but smiled.

"Three prohibitions! There is a reason for the three prohibitions, he has already violated the two prohibitions in less than ten years, what do you say!"

The subtle atmosphere in the room gradually solidified, one was angry, one was cold, one was sluggish, and one was dumb.
