Chapter 31: Apprenticeship
The flying snowflakes brought bitter cold and indelible pain.
Mu Feng didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he woke up, he found himself in a spacious and bright palace that resembled a legendary palace.
On the north wall of the house is depicted a fierce beast nearly two meters long, with curved horns on the top of its head, like an elk, and the eyes of a tiger, covered with scales like a python, and its tail slightly upturned, like the legendary dragon's tail, with a fist-sized ball of meat at the tip of the tail.
On the west side is a screen more than two people high, and in the center of the screen is also depicted an unknown beast, which looks the same as the beast on the north wall.
The windows and doors on the south side are made of wood with a faint scent, and the whole room is filled with a refreshing aroma.
This is a fragrance that can calm people's minds, Mu Feng wrinkled his nose, and the expression on his face gradually soothed.
"What kind of place is this!"
Everything in front of him was like a dream bubble, which was far beyond Mu Feng's imagination, he had never seen such a gorgeous and spacious house.
At this moment, he is lying on a bed nearly two meters wide and three meters long.
All kinds of strange ornaments hung around the bed, including sparkling jade, sparkling blue gemstones, and slender snake-like golden threads......
Even the quilt on his body was sewn from silk as smooth as the skin of a twenty-eight girl.
"Father! Mother!"
Everything in front of him made Mu Feng feel like a world away, but he was still awakened by the great sorrow hidden in his heart, he lifted the futon, jumped off the bed, and quickly rushed to the door.
The two wooden doors were very heavy, Mu Feng climbed one wooden door with both hands, his little face was red, his arms were protruding, and he used all his strength to open the door.
Crunch...... There was a soft sound, and the moment the door opened, a large area of dazzling golden light and a cold wind rushed from the front.
Mu Feng subconsciously closed his eyes, he stood in place for a long time before he dared to open his eyes slowly.
"Thisβthis is ......."
He was shocked beyond measure.
Outside the door is a large building complex like the fairy palace, ten steps on the first floor, one hundred steps and a pavilion, the corridor waist is manback, the eaves are high pecked, each hugging the terrain, hooking the heart and corners.
When the wooden wind stepped out of the door, a cold wind blew in his face, his long hair danced, and his clothes fluttered.
The tiger fur coat he had worn had long since disappeared, replaced by a long tunic sewn of purple satin.
The purple caftan is very thin, and it is very comfortable to wear, and whenever a cold wind blows, its surface will ripple with a trace of purple brilliance, which is very strange.
It was only at this moment that Mu Feng realized that the house he was in was very tall, thirty meters above the ground.
From here, he could see almost the entire complex.
As far as the eye can see, the corridors between each floor and each pavilion are more or less hung with all kinds of dazzling decorations.
The whole complex gives people a majestic, majestic feeling, which is daunting and chilling.
Outside the complex is a more vast and prosperous world, with palaces and buildings, low courtyards abounding, where the lanes are dense like cobwebs, vertical and horizontal, left and right, and the wooden wind is dazzling.
"Boy, don't shout, before the old body came here, your parents had already been killed......."
The cold wind howling all around made Mu Feng's expression flutter, and his mind gradually recalled the words of the woman with the black hat on her head.
"Father, mother, the child will avenge you!"
He looked at the sky, his little face was tense, his eyes were hidden with a cold murderous intent, and a pair of small hands crackled.
Mu Hu and Mingli were killed for no reason, Mu Xiaoyue and Mu Yuchen were nowhere to be found, and even he didn't know where he was.
On the horizon due east, a round of scorching sun, which was as flat as a palace lamp, gradually jumped out of the horizon and hung high above Mu Feng's head.
The dazzling golden light before was the sunlight cast by the blazing sun.
The whole building complex was very quiet, there was not a single noise to be heard, everything here was very unfamiliar to Mu Feng, he didn't dare to run around, he could only stay in place and look around.
Gollum...... There was a cry of hunger in his lower abdomen.
Mu Feng reached out and touched his shriveled belly, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by infinite sorrow and helplessness.
"Come on, my mother has made you your favorite tiger head meat. β
"Haha...... Wu'er is very talented, and he will definitely be able to get ahead in the future!"
"Second brother, this time you go into the mountains to hunt, you must bring me a young beast. β
"Second brother, it's freezing outside, you must be cautious. β
......
The voices and smiles of Mu Hu and his wife, Mu Yuchen and Mu Xiaoyue are still echoing in Mu Feng's mind, and they will last for a long time, which is the best memory in his life.
Originally, their family of five could continue to live in the ethereal town, but the appearance of "two groups of immortals" completely ruined their five-person world.
Life and death part, sometimes only in a moment.
Mu Feng's mind is far beyond ordinary people, and the great sorrow does not make him completely lose his mind.
He glanced at the complex behind him, hesitated, and finally chose to turn back into the house.
He knew in his heart that only by living would he have the opportunity to find out the real culprits who killed Mu Hu and his wife, and find Mu Xiaoyue and Mu Yuchen.
Boom......
After closing the two wooden doors, Mu Feng took a step, rushed to a square table in the room, waved his hand to pick up the melons and fruits on the table, and began to gobble it up.
After a while, Mu Feng stroked his bulging belly, stretched his waist left and right, and felt the strong strength in his body gradually recovering, and he had a trace of confidence in his heart.
"The pain can be endured, and the chaos can be quiet...... You really deserve to be the chosen host of this seat!"
Mu Feng was about to scrutinize the surroundings of the room when a hearty sound suddenly echoed in his ears.
He froze in place, mechanically raised his right arm, fixed his gaze on the palm of his right hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Front...... Senior, you're awake!"
Airplanes!
The void roared softly, and a pale golden light surged down the palm of Mu Feng's right hand, suddenly turning into a golden figure on the ground in front of him.
This is an old man with gray hair, a rickety figure, no more than eight feet tall, draped in a pale gold robe, his left hand tied behind his back, and a palm-sized diamond-shaped beast bone in his right hand, walking slowly towards Mu Feng.
"Senior, you...... You can conjure up entities!"
Mu Feng felt his heart beat wildly, and even his tongue was a little knotted.
The white-haired old man in front of him was the same golden figure he had met at his home in the ethereal town a few months ago.
Moreover, the "black beast bone" in the other party's hand was the beast bone that Mu Hu had given him.
With a faint smile on his face, the white-haired old man paced to Mu Feng, waved his hand and handed the black beast bone to the latter, and said:
"Boy, you have already used your divine sense to probe the surroundings, if this seat is not mistaken, this place should be the mansion of the Xiao family, the first major cultivator of the Divine Dragon Empire. β
"The Xiao family?"
Mu Feng looked surprised.
He subconsciously took the black beast bone, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Senior, please take me out of here, my parents were killed, and as a son of man, I must immediately return to the Ethereal Town to wake their spirits. β
At the end of his words, tears welled up in his eyes, he knelt on his knees, and respectfully kowtowed to the white-haired old man.
"Creation makes people, the world is impermanent, if I had woken up earlier, I would not have let your parents be robbed of their lives by thieves. β
The white-haired old man sighed lightly, and immediately waved his right hand, and a faint golden beam of light flew out from his cuffs, rushing straight towards Mu Feng.
Mu Feng only felt a huge force surging under his feet, and the whole person involuntarily stood up.
"The seniors have great powers, there must be a way to take me out of here!"
The white-haired old man was surrounded by a faint golden beam, and golden light surged between his gestures.
This thrilled Mu Feng, and the more mysterious and unfathomable the former's expression, the greater his hope of getting out of the complex and returning to the ethereal town.
However, the white-haired old man's next words made his mood fall from the sky to the bottom in an instant.
"Boy, there's nothing I can do about it!"
"......Senior! How is this possible, you are an immortal. β
"Immortals, you have lived in an ethereal town for a long time, far away from the chaos of the world, and you don't know that the so-called immortals in this world are actually just a group of poor insects who compete with the heavens and the earth for luck. β
The white-haired old man scoffed at what Mu Feng said.
Mu Feng was disappointed, and the whole person sat on the spot like soft mud, his eyes were dim, and his purple shirt was sprinkled with tears.
Looking at Mu Feng's dejected appearance, the white-haired old man's eyes revealed a touch of unbearability, and he immediately stretched out his right hand, put it on the latter's shoulder, and said in a deep voice.
"This seat once told you that this world is the same as the law of the jungle in the Red Leaf Mountains, the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and only the strongest can control their own destiny. β
"The strongest?"
Mu Feng raised his head, his face thoughtful.
At this moment, a golden ray of sunlight quietly reflected through the gap between the two wooden doors to the open space in front of him.
"Father, why do we have to kill to hunt for food? β
"To live!"
......
A question from the past quietly came to mind, Mu Feng waved his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, straightened his body, knelt on the ground, crossed his hands, bowed to the white-haired old man, and said loudly.
"Senior, please take me as an apprentice!"
"You are the host chosen by me in this life, and it is reasonable to accept you as a disciple, so from today on, you are the personal disciple of my dragon pride."
At this moment, the white-haired old man's expression became very solemn, he stretched out his right hand, slowly placed it on top of Mu Feng's head, and continued.
"What is the pain of life, what is the sorrow of death, may you get rid of the sorrow in your heart as soon as possible and understand your own heart. β
