The sky was getting brighter, and the bright sunlight poured into this small hotel on the second floor for the first time, and a little man with a small blue hat walked out with a small basket of vegetables with a smile.

The little man wore a slightly wide blue shirt, dark linen trousers tucked in the hem of the shirt, and a belt of hemp rope was tied around his waist, and a clean rag hung from it.

"Xiao Chen'er, go and come back quickly, grandpa is still waiting for dinner. An old man's voice came from the shop. Xiao Chen'er turned sideways, replied loudly, and ran out in a hurry, not running a few steps, the obviously bigger shoes suddenly fell, Xiao Chen'er was extremely flexible to collect his feet, single foot, Xiao jumped to the shoes, bent down, put down the basket, dusted off the non-existent dust with his hands, and put them on again.

When he set off again, Xiao Chen'er was obviously slower, but after not going far, Xiao Chen'er began to jump again, as if there was an inexhaustible joy in his small body.

Xiao Chen'er has gradually become accustomed to the fact that she no longer instinctively dodges when she encounters the street guards, but walks past them casually, and is also accustomed to buying the dishes needed for the day every morning on behalf of the old and frail grandfather.

I am more accustomed to the safety and warmth of having a home and relatives......

Some people say that it takes a long time to develop a habit, but the habit itself is the most fragile, and it may be broken into a residue at any time due to various external and internal factors.

Red, thick as the plasma spurting out of the neck artery, filled Xiao Chen'er's eyelids, and the flames were raging, but Xiao Chen'er, who was already surrounded by a sea of fire, could not feel a little scorching breath, the burning flames had already burned his soul, along with the people in the small hotel, into charcoal, and it would be completely reduced to ashes with just a touch of external force.

The sky was gray, it was not God who was sad for the fire in the hotel, nor was it mercy for those who lost their lives in the fire, God had never been so leisurely and leisurely to sigh at its almost empty emotions for this little thing that was the size of a sesame mung bean. The gray sky was nothing more than the smoke that had never dissipated from the fire in the morning.

Not even a few pieces of formed wreckage remained, and it burned so thoroughly that a pile of burnt charcoal replaced the dilapidated inn, and in the twilight, it looked like a natural grave.

The crowd of people who were busy fighting the fire had dispersed, and only a few nearby households, while repairing their affected houses, occasionally cast their eyes at the little man who was sitting in front of the ashes, let out a sigh of pity, and went back to his own business.

Xiao Chen'er's clothes were ragged, almost blackened by thick smoke, looking at the ruins in front of him, for a moment, he wanted to laugh out loud, but an unknown thing choked his throat, and two lines of tears flowed incessantly, leaving two clear white marks on his dark face. But he still smiled hard.

The Jingjie guard came, took away Xiao Chen'er, who had been orphaned again, this time he didn't want to run away again, he had seen the light dust and was tired of the fetters in the dark, the cold and sharp blade pierced into his chest, he could still calmly watch the sharp red blood fountain spurt out of the wound when the blade was pulled out of the chest, and then showed a peaceful smile at the smiling murderer.

"Youkai, you're a youkai!"

"Help, the youkai has killed someone!"

......

Fear, despair, wailing, screaming, endless red, thick as a sea of blood, the sun hanging high in the sky is also eroded by blood, becoming a round of strange blood sun. When the blood sun was in the sky, a white figure was like a pure white lotus flower walking in the sea of blood, holding Xiao Chen'er in one hand and a light blue long sword in the other, elegantly walking out of the dark underground and facing the strange blood sun, and the hidden evil place behind him had completely turned into a dead field.

"Long time no see, little dust. ”

"Who are you?"

"It's so ruthless, I hugged you when you were born, and you unceremoniously urinated on me, so much so that I felt disgusted with my favorite purple and never touched purple again. ”

"Who the hell are you?"

"Why are you so serious, I'm Mu Chen, you are my Mu Chen's inner disciple, it was already settled at the moment you were born, who knew that soon after you were born, there was an accident in your family, I searched for so many years, and I finally remembered this rotten old soil, come in and take a look, sure enough, you ended up here." Now it's time for us to get out of here, and the smell of decay is disgusting. ”

"Leaving here, where are we going?"

"Of course, it's back to your fiefdom, your family patrols the Tianxun family on behalf of the Great Zhou Tianzi, and now your family is the only one left, you are naturally the Tianxun of this generation, but before that, you have to learn the basic skills with me first, and then go to the Great Zhou Tianzi to inherit the title. ”

The dawn came as always, and it was not delayed or advanced because of the departure of Mu Chen and Xin Chen, so at the dawn moment, Mu Chen and Xin Chen stepped on the morning light, and the ghosts entered a light gate directly.

The sun rises in the east, on the top of Baiyun Mountain, two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appear, looking from afar, the rising sun is like a huge portal, Mu Chen holds Xin Chen's little hand, like a god step by step from the sun into the mortal dust.

At noon, a trace of mist rose from the mountains and forests, and Baiyun Mountain seemed to be covered with a thin veil. The rain, followed by a burst of wet and cold mountain wind, drifted towards the foothills from the far reaches of the mountain, and the white clouds and the world below the mountain were gradually connected.

At the northern foot of Baiyun Mountain, the forest gradually thinned, and the jade water was diverted from then on, flowing from the southeast to turning a big bend and diverting to the northeast. Across the jade water, more than 100 families are built by the water, vaguely forming a small village.

The village is called Xujia Village, and the villagers also have some blood relations, in this era, there are countless villages like this where one surname and one family live together, and not far from Xujia Village, there are several other villages with different surnames, and everyone also has a connection with each other's in-laws.

These villages nominally belong to the Great Zhou, but for many years, the people in the village have rarely had contact with the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou does not pay attention to this side at all, leaving Baiyun Mountain to the east for more than 100 miles to have a small unspeakable city, that is, Qixia City, which is almost regarded as a place for exiled prisoners.

Therefore, for a long time, these surname villages have long been accustomed to a self-sufficient lifestyle, and they have almost no concept of the Great Zhou, but for Baiyun Mountain, there are some legends in the village.

However, legends are legends after all, and living on the ground is the right thing. Around the village, vast tracts of reclaimed land are scattered along the jade water, the snow has melted, and the spring rains have begun to fall, and the villagers are already toiling in the fields in their robes.

The playful children, regardless of the rain falling in the sky, happily galloped and frolicked in the fields, and the children's cries and the laughter and scolding of the adults, coupled with the sound of the Yushui River's 'whooshing', intertwined into a cheerful music.

"Second son, where is the place you are talking about, we are all so far away from the village, what should we do if we meet a big guy?"

"Dog, shut your crow's mouth, we haven't gone deep into Baiyun Mountain, how can we meet those big guys? ”

There are some naughty little guys in the outsole, who can't bear the loneliness of being confined to the house in a winter, so, when the adults in the family are busy with spring ploughing, Xu Erzi, who has always been the most daring in Xujia Village, took his little brother Xu Goudan, escaped everyone's eyes, and got into Baiyun Mountain.

Both of them are in their early tens, and Xu Erzi is the grandson of the village chief, the second oldest in the family, and has always been the most noisy child king in the village. And Xu Goudan is the son of the most powerful hunter in the village, but compared to his Lao Tzu hero, Xu Goudan is weak, and he is looked down upon by the children in the village. However, it is strange to say that these two little guys with very different personalities are born to play, and they have always been blessed and enjoyed.

No, since Xu Erzi discovered that place a year ago, he naturally had to tell his little friends, and this is why the two of them made this trip to Baiyun Mountain.

The two of them walked all the way, and soon came to the edge of the cliff, but the scene in front of them made Xu Erzi stunned, because the stone forest with the pattern painted before had disappeared, replaced by a flat open space, and a small wooden building that was built at some unknown time.

In the small building, Xin Chen was wearing a set of clothes exactly the same as Mu Chen, sitting cross-legged on the futon. The white silk is delicately cut and hand-stitched with the finest hand, and the intricate stripes of the skein are just right to decorate the cuffs and placket, and the white boots underneath the feet are faintly corresponding, but the color is plain but not monotonous.

"When your father was alive, all the monks in the entire Great Zhou, regardless of the righteous path or the demon path, rarely had the courage to violate the laws of the Great Zhou, and with Ye Hou being plotted seven years ago, the Heavenly Scanner Mansion suffered a catastrophe, and when I got the news and rushed over, the Heavenly Scanner Mansion had been burned to ruins, but I found that the teleportation array I left behind showed signs of activation, so I am sure that there are still people in the Heavenly Scun Mansion who have survived, and the biggest possibility is my lovely apprentice Xiao Chen'er. ”

Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Xin Chen opened his eyes and looked at the rain outside the window: "I don't remember it at all." ”

"It's not surprising that you were only four years old at the time. But it's all in the past, and now the most important thing for you is ......"

However, at this moment, there was a little noise downstairs, it was actually two ordinary children, but the two of them could appear here, which was the most unusual place in itself, if it was ordinary, how could they silently break through the barrier laid by Mu Chen?

The location of Baiyun Mountain is extremely special, it is a special area connecting the human world and the foreign space, because of the mixed atmosphere, so few powerful forces appear here. On Baiyun Mountain, there are three non-inflow sects that are not very mixed in the power of monks, and they occasionally appear in the villages here to try to collect some disciples, and inadvertently, they have left legends of immortals in several villages.

It was because Mu Chen discovered the existence of these three sects that he laid an enchantment around Xiaolou to prevent it from being detected by these three sects, but now, with the appearance of these two children, the enchantment laid by Mu Chen did not react at all. Xin Chen didn't know what level of monks Mu Chen's enchantment could block, but Xin Chen knew that he couldn't break through Mu Chen's enchantment anyway.

"Xiao Chen'er, don't be nervous, these are just two ordinary children, I saw them coming in this direction, so I let go of the enchantment and let them in, you have been practicing hard in the past few days, although you have cultivated one after another to break through, but it is always tense, after all, there is a hidden danger, so the appearance of these two children is just the right time." Mu Chen explained to Xin Chen with a smile.

"Are you children from the village under the mountain?" Xin Chen thought slightly, and showed an innocent smile at Xu Erzi and Xu Goudan.

Xu Goudan was already timid, although Xin Chen was talking to the two with a smile, but Xin Chen's dress was obviously not at the same level as them, plus Xin Chen had already embarked on the road of cultivation, and inadvertently there would always be an invisible momentum, which always had a deterrent effect for ordinary people, so Xu Goudan didn't dare to answer at all, and even involuntarily shrank behind Xu Erzi.

"That's right, we are from Xujia Village under the mountain, I am Xu Erzi, he is Xu Goudan, who are you? How can you be here? Wasn't this a stone forest before?" Xu Goudan didn't know if it was because he had less roots in his head, or if he was really bold enough, in short, Xin Chen's momentum had no effect on him.

After listening to Mu Chen's words, Xin Chen had plans to make friends with these two people, no, it was a bit too much to say that the friendship was too much, and the three children in their early teens played together, what kind of friendship was made? So I didn't hide it, and said: "I am Xin Chen, there was a fire at home not long ago, and my grandfather was buried in the fire, and I was rescued by Mu Chen, so I came here, and the stone forest here was cleaned up by Mu Chen and this small building was built." ”

Xin Chen didn't lie, and answered Xu Erzi's question one by one, although he hid his identity as a marquis, but at present, he still has to follow Mu Chen to practice, and he has no idea of inheriting the title for the time being.

When he mentioned his grandfather, Xin Chen was inevitably a little sad, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little red. Xu Erzi and Xu Goudan are not as precocious as Xin Chen, not to mention that Xin Chen is also emotional, so their attention quickly changed from asking about Xin Chen's origin to comforting Xin Chen.

Children's communication has always been very direct and fast, come and go, there is no unknown identity and strange origin of the estrangement, soon mingle, Xin Chen took the two of them to visit the small building, and the two of them were ready to take Xin Chen home.

When the figures of the three disappeared into the mist in the mountains, Mu Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of the door of the small building, the golden light flashed in his hand, a silver wine jug appeared in his hand, and he took a sip at the spout, Mu Chen turned around, flicked his sleeves, and strode into the small building. Behind him, a cyan boulder broke out of the ground like bamboo shoots, and in a blink of an eye, it grew into a stone tablet with a height of a zhang, and two quaint characters were deeply imprinted on the stone tablet, which was clearly the word 'Qinglin'.

"Just like this passing green forest, when the wind and clouds meet, gather and scatter, a few prosperous piles, fate, but what a day!"

The small building closed the door, and after the drifting rain, the trees in the rain turned blue at some point, and the wind and rain were faint, like clouds and smoke that would disperse at any time.

Xin Chen, who was walking on the mountain path with Xu Erzi and Xu Goudan, suddenly felt a little depressed for some reason, looked up at the slowly moving rain clouds in the sky, and always felt that behind the impenetrable clouds, something seemed to be brewing.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Xu Erzi and Xu Goudan had already started to run down the mountain with Xin Chen. At first, they were worried that Xin Chen might not be able to keep up, but when they found that Xin Chen's speed was no less than them, the two finally tore off their feet and ran wildly. Xin Chen naturally reined in speed, and specially suppressed the vitality in his body to prevent the vitality from protecting his body and bouncing the rain away, so Xin Chen inevitably became a soup chicken.

However, after running wildly in the rain for a while, the mentality of the three little ones also changed, the rain was heavy and cold, but the three who had run away no longer felt as uncomfortable as they did at the beginning, but gave birth to a kind of unbridled pleasure.
