"Sit down, kid. I haven't seen your master for a hundred years, and I'd love to hear how he's doing. The master said.

Long Yuan sat down as he said, but he was still a little restrained for a while. After all, he had never seen a human rat who could speak human words, and he had sat and talked with him.

A few little rats also sat down, they hadn't seen humans much, so they were also quite curious about Long Yuan. The rat stood beside the master, while the second rat was far away, pouting from time to time to express his disdain for Long Yuan.

Long Yuan told the master about his impression of the master since he was a child, and when he talked about the place where the master died when the little sister was five years old, Long Yuan felt sad in his heart.

The master also frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect Ling Jiutian's wife to die early, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After that, Long Yuan told the master about the matter of Longyin Villa.

When he heard Long Yuan say that he had caused trouble for the villa many times, and that his master had not punished him, the master could also feel Ling Jiutian's doting on several disciples.

Long Yuan then told the master that the master was injured for no reason and let him come out to refine and find the "Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas".

When the master heard that Ling Jiutian was injured, he also felt a little incredible.

"With his talent, if he has been cultivating, at least he is a cultivator of the Qi Spirit Realm, and he may even have stepped into the Mind Realm, how could he be so seriously injured. The master muttered.

"Senior, he has never told us about Master's previous deeds, I only know Master's situation in the past twenty years. Long Yuan said.

The master nodded and said, "Your master didn't mention that the past was mostly related to the death of your master." ”

"Probably. When the master was fine, he went to sit in front of the grave of the master. ”

"You just said that your master asked you to find the Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas?" the master asked.

"Yes. Uncle Shi said to me that the book could help Master heal his wounds. ”

After hearing this, the master thought to himself: "The Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas cannot be consulted without a divine vein, how can it be used when Nine Heavens is injured? And isn't it a joke to let this kid go to find the treasure book." The master thought about it and guessed that Ling Jiutian was most likely deceiving Long Yuan, so that this kid could come out and hone his skills and have a head.

"Child, do you want to know what your master experienced back then?" said the master. He looked at the current Long Yuan, as if he was Ling Jiutian back then, so he was in a very good mood, and he also wanted him to not be too restrained here. After all, he and Ling Jiutian were both teachers and friends, and he would naturally take good care of Ling Jiutian's disciples.

Long Yuan nodded again and again, he only knew that the master treated them very well, like a master and a father, but he didn't know the master's past. Especially the rumors that the senior brothers heard that his master had been to the fairy mountain, had an immortal relationship, and the immortals touched my top, and the hair was immortalized. Therefore, Long Yuan was still very interested in his master's past, after all, he was the person he loved the most.

"I can only tell you that your master was able to break into Fusang alone at your age, defeated countless heroes of his peers in Fusang, and won the treasure of Fusang as your master's dowry, so your master is willing to hand over his precious daughter to your master. The master laughed.

"Master, this ...... Is this true, is my master so powerful?"

"Hmm. I almost made a colt for Fuso. The master continued.

"Ahh......h

The master laughed.

"What else, what else?" asked Long Yuan eagerly.

"Hmm...... Without. You stay here for a while, and I'll tell you later. The master laughed.

"Master, go on. Long Yuan urged.

"You kid, I told you that you won't be able to keep your mouth shut when you go back. Your master probably doesn't want people to mention the past, so I won't say more. The master shook his head.

"This ......" Long Yuan was speechless for a while, he thought that he would definitely tell the fifth senior brother and the little junior sister about the master's deeds when he went back, but the master was silent at the beginning of what he said.

"What else can there be, which means that your master is much stronger than you at your age, and even his character is ten thousand times stronger than you, and your master has never stolen our food when he came here. The two rats on the side couldn't help but tease when they saw Long Yuan shouting.

Long Yuan was poured with this basin of cold water, and sure enough, there was no sound.

"Master, there is a sentence that juniors don't know whether to ask or not. ”

"You say. "The master had a kind face, like a kind old man.

"Why did the master's disciples steal the hard-earned grain of the people in the city?" Long Yuan asked. After a short time with the master and a few rats, Long Yuan could feel that the masters and others were by no means evildoers, but they went to steal the food of the people in the city, which made Long Yuan always feel a little worried in his heart, so he asked.

After listening to Long Yuan's question, the master's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "Young man, let me tell you about the history of our Shuo Rat Clan. ”

Long Yuan sat upright and looked at the master with both eyes. This is the etiquette that he only learned after reading the "Book of Rites" given to him by his senior brother.

"Hundreds of years ago, we all lived in a high mountain and lived in caves. The place where we live is full of fish and birds, fruits and vegetables are all over the wild, and the rats live in the mountains without worry. ”

The master paused, and then continued, "I don't know when there were traces of people in the mountains and forests, and gradually human activities became more frequent, and the birds, fish, vegetables and fruits in the mountains decreased sharply in batches. With the scarcity of food in the mountains and forests, our haunts were discovered by humans. When human beings saw that our rats were grabbing the fruits and vegetables of birds, beasts, and animals in the mountains and forests, they wanted to drive our race out of the mountains and forests. Fire after fire burned the caves where we lived, and the water in the mountains and forests was poisoned by humans. The rats are unable to resist the drive and slaughter of humans, and can only find a wild and hungry place to survive. ”

The master had a sad look in his eyes, and continued: "Young man, you only say that we rats steal the food of the people, but you are a human being, and you observe the various actions of the rats from a human perspective. The hometown of the Shuo Rat clan was taken away by human beings, and they struggled to survive in this desolate cave. Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, as long as human footprints go, those resources are regarded as forbidden by human beings. We rats are as spiritual as humans, but wherever we live, we are expelled and killed as soon as humans find out. ”

"Alas......" the master sighed.

"Master, your clan was expelled by the human race, but isn't there a similar martial artist among the Shuo Rat Clan, why didn't you go to protect the clan?" Long Yuan was also angry when he heard these histories.

"Although we also have a few geniuses who can cultivate martial arts, we also follow the rules of the martial arts and cannot harm ordinary humans. Otherwise, the strong warriors of the human race will start a war with us, and in that case, our Squat Clan will have no choice but to perish. Therefore, we had no choice but to move our clan to the barren land, and then rely on the able-bodied people of the clan to go to the city to steal food for the only needs of the clan. The master explained.

The master's words were not slow, but he only lightly recounted the historical facts. But his words were already beating Long Yuan's ears like a drum.

Long Yuan was silent for a long time, he very much wanted to solemnly apologize to the master and his people on behalf of his own clan. But after thinking about it, Long Yuan still didn't do that meaningless thing, he was a disciple of the martial arts, and he could only represent the martial arts, not the people in the world. His apology would be lighter than Hongyu's, meaningless.

"I will feel angry when the rat steals human food, and dare to draw my sword against it, but what kind of attitude should I take towards the human rat taking away the home of the rat?" Long Yuan asked himself in his heart, and at the same time felt ashamed, when he didn't know the cause and effect, he recklessly carried the banner of righteousness and criticized others.

If it weren't for the master's presence today, I'm afraid that he and the second rat would inevitably cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Slightly apologetically looking at the second rat who was far away from him, Long Yuan suddenly felt that he seemed to understand his master's painstaking efforts to let him come out to practice.

Success is right and wrong, black and white, thinking before leaving.

As if he had figured out something, the estrangement between the two rats in Long Yuan's heart evaporated like a sunny mountain.

Seeing that Long Yuan's face was a little ashamed, the master approached and said, "Young man, your master also heard about this period of history back then, and he sighed just like you. However, these are all in the past, and there is no way for history to change again, let alone ask who is right and wrong, just pass the past. ”

Long Yuan could only nod, after listening to the master's words, he was very sympathetic to the situation of the Shuo Rat clan, but he couldn't care about such a thing, even his master couldn't take care of it.

"Now we go to the city to steal food, but we also choose those rich and unkind and rich Zhumen big families, the rat clan needs to survive, and we have to do it as a last resort. The master said with a wry smile.

Long Yuan got up and bowed to the two rats and the rat and said, "Fang is the reason why I don't know why, there are many offenses and offenses, please forgive me." ”

The rat smiled and nodded.

The second rat pouted and said, "It's still his disciple." ”

"Have you seen my master, are you over a hundred years old?" Long Yuan heard the meaning of the second rat, and it was clear that he knew his master.

"Shuo Rat is old, I am not yet twenty years old in terms of your human age, why, am I very old?"

Long Yuan also knew that misunderstandings were easy to solve, and he didn't touch the moldy head of the two rats.

The master said to Long Yuan, "Young man, I'll take you to the place where your master went back then. ”

Long Yuan bowed down and said, "Thank you, senior." ”

Then the master and Long Yuan walked out along the deep cave and turned to the third fork at the fork. At the end of the fork was a flat and wide field, and suddenly it opened up.

The broad ground is facing the stone wall at the entrance of a strong and powerful word "qi", which makes people suddenly feel that the breath around the body can't help but wander away in the blood of the limbs, and an inexplicable power is majestic in the universe. There are several weapon racks displayed under the stone walls around it, and a few rather old weapons are sparsely placed on the shelves. This is the place where the disciples of the martial arts sect practice.

"In the years since we were separated from the clan, I and a few disciples have been practicing martial arts here, and when your master came here, these disciples were less than half of their current size. The master pointed to the two rats and the three rats, and then jumped into the middle of the martial arts field, and the nanmu cane in his hand swirled like the wind.

"Come on, kid, let me see what the qualifications of the disciples who have been trained in nine days are. "Master Yanbi is short, and he is like a defender.
