Volume II, Chapter 18 The Way to the World

It's been two days since Gu Xing woke up, his head is still a little groggy, he doesn't know what weird rune characters are in his head, all kinds of images are crowded with his little head melon seeds, looking around in confusion, the room is not big, only a simple small square table and a few stools, some birds are carved on the wall beams on all sides, the bed and the door are just separated by the small square table, and there are a landscape map and a figure on the walls on both sides, the picture is a little yellowed, it looks like it has been some time. He was just lying on a straw mat, and there was another straw mat next to him, but a quilt had been folded at the head of the bed.

"Mother, mother!" After Gu Xing's call, the empty room returned to calm, no one responded, feeling this silent atmosphere, even if he was naughty and mischievous, he would be a little scared for a while, and the feeling of grievance instantly invaded his nerves, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"Mother!" Gu Xing shouted loudly again, but still no one answered.

"Wow!", tears burst out of his eyes, howling and crying, his voice full of grievances.

After all, I am used to the feeling of having my mother by my side every time I wake up, and this awakening not only appears in a strange environment, but only has its own echo on all sides, for a two-year-old child, waking up at this age is looking for a mother.

Da there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, the steps were fast, but a little light, and he could feel the shaking from side to side, Gu Xing's ears moved, and the crying stopped instantly, he didn't know how he could suddenly hear such a sound, but the impact of this freshness still made him secretly happy, children are always like this, what comes and goes quickly.

"Crunch", the door was pushed open, the strength of the person who came should not be very great, otherwise the door would not make this sound, a small head poked in from outside the door, big eyes, a pouty face, a smooth and round bald head, curiously looking at Gu Xing sitting on the bed.

"You're finally awake, you've been asleep for two days!" the bald little boy came back to his senses, shouted at Gu Xing, and then stepped into the room with both feet, he was a little taller than Gu Xing, and he should be a little older than Gu Xing.

"Who are you?" Gu Xing asked curiously, perhaps because he had just cried, his voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't woken up.

"My name is Fan Chen, what about you?" replied the little bald head very casually, without the slightest sense of restraint, as if he was self-cooked.

"My name is Gu Xing, have you seen my mother?" Gu Xing's mind was now full of the shadow of the dark blue phoenix, after all, when he woke up at home before, he could always see his mother smiling at his first glance.

"Your mother, how could your mother come here? This is the third gate of the Ancient Dao Gate, and it is impossible for anyone from outside the Gu Dao Gate to come in!" Seeing Gu Xing's confused eyes and aggrieved look, the little bald head couldn't help but continue to say in an aggravated tone.

"Wow!" Gu Xing heard Fan Chen's words and began to cry again.

"What a crybaby, I won't always be in the same room with you in the future!" Fan Chen muttered.

Gu Xing didn't mean to stop crying, the voice became higher and higher, but Fan Chen didn't say anything to comfort him after muttering, there was no mockery in his eyes, but looking at Gu Xing's appearance at this time, it seemed that he had fallen into some kind of memory.

Seeing that his crying did not get the attention of all kinds of people in an instant like before, and there was no one else except the bald head in front of him, Gu Xing also gave up, stopped crying, and looked around curiously.

"Are you done crying?" Fan Chen had just thought of some kind of past, and Gu Xing's crying came and went quickly.

"Go, I really thought I liked to cry, it seems that my mother is not here, otherwise as soon as my cry comes out, she should come to me immediately, this trick was very clever before!" Gu Xing's eyes at this time were indescribably cunning, but at the same time he showed enough innocence, and he was a funny master at first glance.

"Damn, you can act!" The bald Fan Chen looked at this quirky little brother and couldn't help but raise his middle finger at himself.

"Little guy, you really don't want your mother?" Fan Chen came back to his senses from Gu Xing's changes in one drama after another just now, and asked curiously.

"Can you see it if you want to?" Gu Xing asked casually.

"No!" Fan Chen's answer was very categorical.

"Isn't that the end of it!" Gu Xing was even more simply.

"This" Fan Chen was choked, and he was very unhappy with Gu Xing's little guy who had no one in his eyes, but he had to admit that it was not disgusting.

"Where is this?" Gu Xing didn't pay attention to Fan Chen's expression that froze instantly, remembering that he was in this strange room after waking up, he couldn't help but ask.

"This is the third gate of the Ancient Dao Gate, the Dao of Entering the World!" Although Fan Chen is young, he has been in the Gu Dao Gate for a longer time than Gu Xing, so he still knows more about the Gu Dao Gate.

"I don't know!" Gu Xing pouted, once again directly hitting Fan Chen's enthusiasm.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, anyway, you'll know sooner or later, there are a lot of fun things in it!" After all, Fan Chen's heart is more mature, thinking that when he first came, the reason why he didn't feel too homesick was entirely because the elders would use diversion to comfort themselves, Gu Xing was still so young, and the only way to divert his attention was undoubtedly to play.

Sure enough, after hearing that there was something funny, my eyes, which were originally a little red from crying, instantly brightened.

"What's so fun!" Gu Xing got up from the bed and asked Fan Chen excitedly.

"Then what do you like to play?" Fan Chen saw that Gu Xing's attention was diverted, and he wanted to start with the things he was interested in.

"Pluck the feathers, pluck the feathers, pluck the big feathers!" After Gu Xing rolled his big eyes, the only picture that came to mind was plucking the feathers of the crane when he entered the mountain.

"Plucking?" Fan Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked with wide eyes, it seemed that it was still a little difficult to satisfy Gu Xing's hobby.

"Brother Fan Chen, I'm going to play plucking!" Gu Xing directly sprinkled Jiao.

"It's okay to play plucking, but Grandpa has an explanation, you have to go see him first when you wake up. Fan Chen smiled helplessly and said to Gu Xing.

"Master, who is that?" asked Gu Xing, scratching his hair.

"The master is the master of the master!" Fan Chen replied rudely.

"Who is that master?" Gu Xing once again played with his cute question of not paying for his life.

"This, you haven't apprenticed yet, who knows who your master is!" Fan Chen understood, the two-year-old little guy in front of him was a pure blank piece of paper, but how could he not know the word master when he was two years old, any family with a little power had already begun to accept the narration of certain skills when he was one year old. It seems that this little guy really hasn't started to learn anything.

"Let's go, brother, take you out to have a look!" Fan Chen saw that Gu Xing began to frown again, knowing that the child's heart was just like this, and it was just three minutes of heat, so he took Gu Xing out of the hut.

Walking out of the hut, the first thing that catches your eye is a row of neat and staggered like the hut you just lived in, each row is about dozens of households, from the bottom of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, in the way of stairs, there are about 1,000 households.

"Why are there so many houses?" Gu Xing clearly remembered that the first gate was just a few simple Daoguan River huts.

"There are thousands of senior brothers here, all of them are from different big cities, ranging from two to twenty years old! You are the oldest, the youngest, understand?" Fan Chen looked at Gu Xing's puzzled eyes and quickly explained.

"Then how many are you?" Gu Xing felt that he had suffered a loss, wasn't the youngest easy to be bullied, so he wanted to see if the person in front of him was suffering from the same disease as himself.

"I won't sue you, but you have to remember to call me brother!" Fan Chen said simply.

Along the path, meandering down, left and right, out is a huge platform, that is a square for practicing martial arts, the center of the square is surrounded by a high red wall, the big red wall encloses a circle, like a smoke in general. Around the big red wall, there were many children dressed in silver gray Dao sitting around, each child had a solemn expression, and there were words in their mouths, and the light appeared on their bodies faintly.

"What are they doing?" Gu Xing couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw this.

"Do your homework!" replied Fan Chen.

"What's over there?" Gu Xing asked in a muttered voice, pointing to the back of the square, the continuous hills, and several palaces on the mountains.

"It's not for us to go there for the time being!" Fan Chen replied speechlessly again.

Gu Xing looked around, in addition to the mountain behind the square, there were many younger brothers, they were sitting, walking, or lying everywhere, so many people of the same age appeared in an instant, Gu Xing was still blind, he didn't know that this was the pride of the sky from various cities, although the winding peak was on the winding city, but the ancient road gate has always been mysterious, whether the nine gates are all winding peaks, in fact, no one in the outside world knows, but the spirits have been accustomed to the mystery of the ancient road gate.

"Then where are we going?" asked Gu Xing, looking ahead.

"We're waiting here!" Fan Chen replied, taking out a piece of jade pendant from his hand, the jade pendant was pale yellow, a trace of light circulated on the surface of the jade pendant, a red light flashed from Fan Chen's hand, the pale yellow jade pendant burst instantly, a point of light suspended in the air, and finally turned into a few words, dissipating in the sky.

"Boom !!" three screams came from the sky, Gu Xing only felt that there seemed to be a huge dark cloud above his head, looking up, a huge crane flashed its wings, constantly hovering in the air, and finally landed in front of Gu Xing and Fan Chen, only to find that there was a person standing on the back of the crane, that person looked like he was in his early twenties, there was only a handful of red hair on the top of his head, thin eyes, wide mouth, and red light from his ears, which did not seem to be a normal person.

"See Daohuo Senior Uncle!" Fan Chen saluted respectfully.

"Get up!" the man replied in a deep voice, and then looked sideways at Gu Xing, only to find that the little one's eyes did not rest on him, but on the crane at his feet.

"Big bird, it's big bird!" Gu Xing excitedly pointed at the crane and shouted.

"Ahem, ahem!" the young man who was called Dao Huo coughed dryly. only to find that Gu Xing still didn't seem to pay attention to him.

"What a funny little guy, isn't it?" said Daohuo's calm face squeezed out a smile.

Gu Xing walked towards the crane very excitedly, stretched out his hand to pluck the hair, and Fan Chen next to him trembled nervously.

"I actually dare to ignore your Dao Huo Uncle, get out!" Dao Huo saw Gu Xing's movements, and kicked out in an instant, but at the same time of kicking, he retracted a lot of force, which looked very powerful, but in fact, he simply touched it with his foot, but he ignored Gu Xing's age, so Gu Xing was still kicked away.

After landing, Gu Xing was surprisingly quiet, he didn't call, he didn't cry, just at that moment, he only felt a warm current suddenly surging in his chest, but he didn't know why.

"You are Gu Xing?" Dao Huo's voice was rough.

"Yes!" Gu Xing replied.

"Why pluck the feathers of the crane!" Daohuo really didn't understand why this little guy would behave like this.

"Because it's fun! haven't you played?" Tong Yan Wuji, thinking of what to say, with an innocent look, an innocent face, who can bear to blame.

"Come on!" Dao Huo didn't ask again, and shouted directly to Gu Xing.

Under the waterfall that fell from the sky, in the courtyard where Yuan Daozi played chess, in addition to Yuan Daozi, there was another person, this person looked not young, his beard was silver, and his eyes were also silver, and the whole person stood like that, but it felt like a peerless sharp sword.

"Dao Jian, the teacher summoned you this time to let you accept a disciple on behalf of the teacher!" said Yuan Daoren.

"Isn't the master going to take it himself?" asked the man named Sword respectfully.

"I had this plan before, but if I want to leave here for a while, the outside world is no longer peaceful, and it seems that the seals in several places have been loosened!

"Senior Brother already has experience in teaching disciples, why don't you let Senior Brother accept it? If you can, the disciple is willing to follow Master to the outside world!" Dao Jian said proudly.

"No, this disciple, you will like it, remember to teach him well!" Yuan Daozi also understands the character of his disciple, there is no need to say too thoroughly, he does things, he is still very relieved, glanced at the Dao Sword, Yuan Daozi continued: "He has a seven-star soul locking array on his body, don't talk about other teachers, I will be a little long away, you have to pay more attention to the outside world!"

"Yes, Master!" Dao Jian was still respectful, he knew what extraterritoriality meant.

"This child's talent is difficult to identify, I believe that you can do a good job as a teacher, let's let him start with the Dao of Entering the World first!" Yuan Daoren said slowly, with hesitation in his tone, but finally firm.

"Yes, Master, the apprentice will retire first, Master take care!" After Dao Jian finished speaking, he waved his sleeves very neatly, and the whole person disappeared in place as if he were in the air.

"Hey, hey!" Yuan Daozi suddenly laughed.

"I don't believe it, no one can cure you!" Yuan Daozi muttered to the place where the Dao Sword had disappeared just now, with an inseparable emotion in his tone.
