The Tianti Mountain Range is located in the southeast of the Dongzhou Continent and belongs to the territory of the Qixia Kingdom. The mountains stretch for thousands of miles from east to west, like a natural barrier separating the land from the sea to the north and south.

In the depths of the Tianti Mountain Range, the large and small peaks are stacked on top of each other, the cliffs are innumerable, and the clouds and mist are shrouded all year round, and the people are rarely visited.

Its main peak, the Ethereal Peak, is the highest peak among all the mountain ranges in the Dongzhou Continent.

Due to the high terrain, the snow and ice on the summit of the mountain do not melt all year round. According to secular legends, there are countless exotic beasts, elixirs and fairy herbs, and there is a palace, which is magnificent and beautiful, and is the place where the gods live.

However, because the Heavenly Ladder Mountain Range was too steep, and there were many fierce demon beasts guarding the depths of the mountain range, it was difficult for even a powerful monk to go there!

On the south side of the Ethereal Peak, there is a beautiful canyon. The ethereal peak is too grand, and this canyon seems to be long and unfathomable! The world does not know that due to the topography, the climate in the canyon is like spring all year round, and it is full of greenery, birds and flowers, and a vigorous scene at all times.

It was early in the morning, and the newborn sun was rising in the east. The soft sunlight flowed down obliquely with wetness, and through a tall alder tree, two figures, one large and one small, were reflected under the tree.

"Master!" A crisp and immature child's voice sounded in the mountains and forests, and the girl sitting under the tree opened her mouth.

The girl looks quite small, only five or six years old, with two buns on her head, a pair of smart eyes looking at the sky, and her white and tender little hands are waving upwards with a small shovel, looking smart and cute!

"Hmm!" a man in a green coat with a bamboo basket on his back not far away, with his head bowed and an identical shovel in his hand, was digging a plant on the ground.

"You say, where did all these things in this world come from?" asked the girl with a frown, as if she was extremely troubled by this question at the moment, and her immature voice and this little adult-like expression were even more endearing!

The man stood up, put the plant in his hand into the bamboo basket, and slowly turned to look at the girl.

The soft sunlight illuminated his handsome face. His eyebrows are like light ink, his eyes are like stars, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned to reveal a smile, his skin is fair and delicate, and he looks like he is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy!

There is a white plum blossom-shaped mark at the center of this young man's eyebrows, shining like jade in the sun, although he is only wearing an ordinary cyan shirt, but his whole body is full of aura, as if the brilliance of heaven and earth is gathered with this body!

It is really strange for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to be called "Master"! However, looking at the age of the girl, it is also reasonable. It's just that such a young "master" can teach that girl?

"Legend has it that at the beginning of all things, chaos was not opened, and the universe was like a chicken egg, giving birth to the first god 'Pangu clan'. When Pangu first woke up, he saw the vitality of his body, so he split the heaven and earth, distinguished the turbidity, and transformed all things with his own flesh and blood. However, although all things are incarnated by Pangu's body, only a small part of them are nourished by its essence and blood, and then gradually derive into various races such as demons, demons, spirits, and monsters, and all laws in the world are prosperous. ”

As soon as the young man spoke, his voice was like a forest and a spring, and it was refreshing to listen to it. It's just that the tone doesn't seem to be preaching, but rather like repeating something.

It seems that she has long been accustomed to the tone of the master's speech, and the girl does not show too much entanglement. I didn't understand it, but I heard the general idea. Originally, it was just a casual question, but at the moment, it was interesting, so he widened his two bright eyes and asked with great interest: "So, the two of us turned out to be the meat of that Pangu?"

The boy was choked by her words and replied, "These are just legends. Legends have been passed down from generation to generation, and for all things in this world, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. Besides, it is very old, and it has long been lost in its original truth. What the truth is, I don't know for a long time!"

The girl was even more ignorant by her master's words, and her brows furrowed tightly together. After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, so I finally gave up and asked in a different way, "Master, where did I come from?"

"You were born of your parents, of course. The boy replied.

"Is it like a doe giving birth to a fawn?"

Hearing the analogy of the girl, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Yes." ”

"Where are my parents?" asked the girl again.

"Master doesn't know. When the geese migrated, they saw that you were left at the foot of the mountain wrapped in a small quilt, so they brought you here. That's why you're called 'Yan Yin'. The boy knew what she was going to ask next, so he explained patiently.

"Why did they bring me here?"

"I guess I can't bear to let you suffer from the cold at such a young age, or I want you to accompany me!" said the young man, leaning down and removing the leaves from the girl's head.

The little girl is still young, although she is smart, but her mind is not thick. His eyes flashed by the plum blossom mark between his master's eyebrows, and then he changed his path: "Master, why do you have a beautiful little flower on your forehead, but I don't?"

"Because Master is a demon. ”

"What about me?"

"You're human. ”

The young man saw that Yan Yin's eyes were shining at this moment, and he knew that she was going to ask again, so he took her up from the ground and said first: "It's been so long, you've been hungry for a long time, go back and eat something first." ”

As he spoke, the young man picked up the bamboo basket beside Yan Yin. There were only a few plants in the basket, which was really light compared to the basket he was carrying behind him. However, he didn't let Yan Yin carry it on his back again, but put it on his shoulder and led her back.

After a while, Ruan's child's voice sounded again: "Master, have you ever been out of this valley?"

"Been to the periphery. ”

"Have you seen any other people or demons?"

"Demons have naturally seen them, aren't there many of them in our valley?"

"What about people?"

"People, except for you and your master, the others have only seen it from afar. ”

"Master, where is he now?"

"I don't know. ”

......

Yan Yin took her master's hand, and her ruddy little mouth chattered endlessly, as if there were countless doubts to solve, and one question after another, she never tired of it.

The two figures, one large and one small, gradually drifted away along the bright mountain road, slowly becoming blurred, and finally disappeared......

Another year.

The quiet valley has just been bathed in a new rain. The birds flew out of their nests and stood on the branches, pecking at their fluffy feathers and chirping happily. The dew rolls down the green leaves, making it look more and more crystal clear in the sun. The valley is filled with fresh wetness.

The former smart and lively girl has grown into a girl, but her master is still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, as if the passage of time has not had an effect on him!

Yan Yin looked at the man with the bamboo basket in front of him, and the expression on his face was not as innocent as before, but full of grievances: "Master, do we really want to leave here?"

"Yes. The man's voice was still as heavenly as heaven: "Didn't you want to go out of the valley a long time ago? You are now fourteen years old, and one day you will leave this valley!"

"Why? Can't I stay with Master in this valley all the time?"

The man seemed to have been pestered by her many times, and let out a sigh helplessly: "Didn't Master say it a long time ago, I am also going to leave here! Besides, not to mention that you have long been yearning for the outside world, just because you are a human race, and your lifespan is only a few decades, do you want to be in this valley all your life?"

Yan Yin saw that her master seemed to have guessed her thoughts a long time ago, and even the words of the question poked at the bottom of her heart, blushing a little, but she still said stiffly: "What's wrong with being here all your life!"

The man always looked at Yan Yin gently, and said gently: "There is nothing wrong with it, but the master does not want to see this." Master doesn't know how to practice as a human being, and you're fourteen years old now, and if you don't practice again, you'll grow old very quickly. Of course, there are many ordinary people in this world who do not practice, but even if they just follow nature to live, grow old, get sick, and die, they will have their own ordinary and happy lives. Therefore, whether you are practicing or being an ordinary person, you have to go back to the human race to experience it, so that this life will be in vain. Growing old in this mountain forest is not the life you should live as a human race!"

The man paused for a moment, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes: "Besides, since you arrived, watching you grow up from a baby day by day, Master has long thought in his heart that one day he will send you out of the valley. Master has lived in this valley since childhood, accompanied by the breeze and the bright moon, and has never had contact with outsiders except your master before you, and has never had the intention of leaving the valley. I have been transformed for thousands of years, and although the life span of the demon clan is long, it will eventually come to an end. Before leaving, your master warned me that if one day my cultivation is no longer progressive, I will have to enter the world to practice in order to break through the bottleneck, and now is the right time. ”

"Then we don't have to go our separate ways! Don't you often say that the outside world is sinister? The two of us can take care of each other when we go together!" Yan Yin knew that the master was thinking about her in everything, but after all, she had never been out of the valley, and when she thought of the master's plan, she naturally had the intention of retreating.

The man naturally knew what was on her mind, and said warmly: "You grew up in the valley with me since you were a child, you have eaten a lot of spiritual grass, and your body is already different from ordinary people, if you can practice, it will be very smooth, so I will send you to Yuxian Peak, where it is a famous and decent family, it should be a good place." ”

Yan Yin had also heard from the demon cultivators in the valley that the Jade Immortal Peak was on the periphery of the Tianti Mountain Range, and even so, it was a hundred miles away from the nearest northern edge. There is a sect on the Jade Immortal Peak called the Jade Immortal Sect. Although the Jade Immortal Sect only accepts female disciples, its strength is not bad, and it can be regarded as a second-rate religion in the Qixia Kingdom.

Yan Yin deflated his mouth and said: "The 'big brown bear' doesn't often say that human beings are despicable and cunning, according to him, where is there any 'famous and decent'!"

The man knew that she was still timid, shook his head and said: "'Despicable and cunning' is aimed at our demon clan, didn't he also say that the Jade Immortal Sect has a good reputation among the human race?

"They're all hearsay! I don't know if they're reliable!" Yan Yin's voice lowered, knowing that the master had made up his mind, and he didn't want to force it unintentionally, so he didn't argue with him anymore.

The man looked around at the crisp and dense valley, and then shrugged the bamboo basket on his shoulder upward, and then left step by step with the goose lead......
