Baichuan Continent, Datang, Yecheng, Xiaojia.

Xiao Ding, the current patriarch of the Xiao family, the strongest man in Yecheng, was ambushed when he went out, and now he is dying and in danger!

Xiao Ding's face was sallow, the strongest man in Vertical and Horizontal Leaf City was now dying, and it looked extremely sad.

The arrow of the vest was more than five inches deep, and a black halo was oozing around it.

The surrounding pharmacists were sweating profusely, but they didn't know how to start.

He has two sons, one Xiao Li and one Xiao Zhen.

At this time, the Xiao family was like a frightened bird, and the top and bottom were heavily guarded.

Especially in the residential area of Xiao Ding, there are many sentry posts.

At this time, Xiao Zhen was pacing back and forth outside the residence, and suddenly saw Xiao Li coming back and hurriedly greeted him.

"Big brother, you came back just in time. Xia Hu's dog thief didn't lead the army to attack. ”

"It's fine. How's my father?"

"It's not good, the pharmacist is trying to dig out the arrows, you go and take a look. ”

"Let's go, let's go. ”

"No, my father commanded it. As soon as the eldest brother returned, he went to see him alone. ”

Xiao Li was a little surprised, and said, "Why is this?"

"Hey, big brother, you go in first. Father has his own reasons. ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll come out right when there's something. ”

After speaking, Xiao Li strode into the threshold.

About half an hour later, Xiao Li walked out.

His face was full of sorrow, his face was pale, and he seemed to be preoccupied.

Xiao Zhen asked in surprise, "Big brother, what's going on?"

Xiao Li dodged Xiao Zhen's gaze and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay." ”

Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask, but saw the chamberlain hurriedly coming and whispered: "Second son, the patriarch asked you to go in immediately." ”

didn't have time to think about it, Xiao Zhen hurriedly walked in.

Looking at Xiao Zhen's figure hurrying forward, Xiao Li's eyes flashed with fierceness, his right hand trembled slightly, and he said silently in his heart:

"Old thief, since you are reluctant to pass on the position of patriarch to me, the more I want to win the position of patriarch, to prove to you that I have the ability to lead the Xiao clan forward!"

The bedroom was empty, only the old patriarch and the pharmacist Xiao Ding were lying tremblingly on the couch.

The facial features that were not angry and self-righteous were now pale and flushed.

"Is it a poisoned arrow?"

Xiao Zhen was full of tears, but he did not panic in the slightest.

The pharmacist hurriedly nodded and said, "This is a secret wolf poison arrow, which is extremely poisonous and difficult to remove for a while. ”

"Can it be removed?"

"Arrows shot at close range, and the arrows were more than five inches deep, and they could not be pulled out. ”

The pharmacist shook his head and said helplessly.

At this time, Xiao Ding moved the big pillow to his chest, propped his elbows on the collapse, raised his head and said, "Xiao Zhen, come, sit down here, and listen to me say a few words." ”

Xiao Zhen agreed with a "yes", then pulled over a wooden pier and sat down in front of the collapse, and said, "Father, child Xiao Zhen, listen to the teachings." ”

Without the old patriarch's reminder, the pharmacist and the attendant bowed respectfully and withdrew.

"Zhen'er, my father's road has been completed.

The reason why I didn't make you the young master as soon as possible is because I want you not to make enemies too early. I was ambushed by the Xia family, and my life was short.

But the Xiao family can't be left without an owner for a day, I immediately order you to be the young master, and immediately take the position of patriarch....... Don't speak, listen to me. ”

Xiao Ding gasped heavily, his vast and profound eyes were firmly fixed on his son, and said, "I want to tell you four important things:

First, don't rush for revenge.

When I was here, the Xiao family dominated Yecheng. Now I was ambushed by the Xia family, and my life was short.

After I go, I'm afraid that this Ye Cheng will present a situation of checks and balances between the Xiao and Xia families. Although the Xia family is a rising star, but the Xia Tiger is scheming, ruthless and vicious, you must not be in a hurry to take revenge.

If the war starts now, it is impossible to say that it will fall into the trap of the Xia family again.

Now that the Xiao family is in danger, they can't take another wrong step. You have to lie down and taste the guts, keep your light and keep your eyes on it, and slowly weaken the strength of the Xia family.

Second, be kind to your clansmen. Especially some elders of the Xiao family, don't anger them easily.

Third, let your son Xiao Xuan come back.

Fate has been very unfair to him, and the last thing he deserves is condemnation, indifference, and ridicule. It was also for this reason that he was allowed to grow up in the countryside, and soon you will take over as the patriarch and take him back to take good care of him.

Although the Tang Dynasty established the country by force, civilian officials and ministers were also indispensable. If his progress in the path of martial arts is still slow, then let him abandon martial arts and follow the literature.

Fourth, and most important, is the most important one. Let the brothers be of one mind, and not evil.

We have brought him in because I want him to assist you with all my might. It's just that your eldest brother is very thoughtful, and he may not be willing to listen to me, so I will ask the elders to come and personally instruct them...... Don't be busy prevaricating, you have a calm bearing, and your cultivation talent is not bad, put the Xiao clan in your hands, I can rest assured. Although your eldest brother's strength is not weaker than yours, he is impetuous, and if he is allowed to inherit the patriarch, it is really worrying. ”

The child Xiao Zhen remembered his father's teachings: Taoguang is obscure, treat the clansmen well, brothers are of the same heart, and take care of Xiao Xuan. If he is entrusted by his father, the child will have no shame to see his ancestors and ancestors!"

Xiao Ding looked at his son quietly, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Father will wait for you under the Nine Springs.......

Before he could say anything, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Xiao Ding threw his hands on the big pillow and passed away suddenly!

......

The cold wind is like a knife, and the snow is flying for thousands of miles.

The snow will stop, the wind is unsettled, and a carriage comes from the north, and the rolling wheels crush the ice and snow on the ground, but it cannot crush the loneliness between heaven and earth.

Sitting in the room was Xiao Xuan, the son of Xiao Zhen who heard that the old patriarch had died and hurried from the countryside.

The carriage was so dilapidated that even the felt that covered it was broken. The cold wind pierced through the hole and stabbed the young man inside in the face.

Xiao Xuan lay on the carriage, shivering from the cold.

In the dark eyes, there was a faint loneliness.

I wanted to block the entrance of the cave, but the entrance of the cave was too big, and it was still useless to toss for half a day.

"If Xiao Lin comes back from the countryside, it won't be a broken carriage to receive him. ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan shook his head and said with a wry smile.

He was quiet and quiet in the countryside, and he didn't know how happy he was.

But his father's edict summoned him back.

Although his father is here, although the conditions of the Xiao family headquarters are superior, he is reluctant to come back.

He was born with a cultivation speed like a turtle because of his muscles and veins, and his physique was extremely poor, and in the Xiao family's headquarters, he would only get endless ridicule.

Many years ago, it was precisely because his father could not bear that he was hurt by his peers that he sent him to the countryside.

Now that he has returned to his hometown, he is still the same person, and he has not changed in the slightest.

Thinking that the dry food on his body would not last long, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would run out of food, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, and poked his head out from time to time to see if there was an inn or tavern on the side of the road.

It wasn't until I walked for another hour that I saw a small shop on the side of the road, stretching the cloth cover diagonally into the air.

The horses were also so hungry that they tacitly stopped. Xiao Xuan hurried over, and saw that this small shop was indeed simple, supported by wooden pillars and covered with thatch. There are some tattered household items in the house, and there are only a few broken tables and broken stools outside the house, which are reserved for passers-by to rest and eat.

This small shop in the wilderness has finally seen a little popularity.

Xiao Xuan shuddered, ran outside the house and shouted: "Man, make a cup of hot tea first, do you have a broth cake? ”

A pockmarked face poked out of the half-hidden window, which seemed to be the owner of a small shop. The shopkeeper looked Xiao Xuan up and down through the window, and saw that he was dressed luxuriously, thinking that he was the son of a certain family, and stared at him for a long time before responding: "Where did you get the broth to drink? Here, those who can eat meat are all immortals." ”

When his head was choked, Xiao Xuan frowned slightly, and said, "What about other meals?

Mazi waved his hand impatiently, and was busy in the house with some work, and after a while, he quietly poked his head out, and saw that Xiao Xuan had not left, so he frowned and came up with a bowl of rice.

Xiao Xuan stretched out his hand to touch the rice and said with a wry smile: "I said shopkeeper, what do you mean by letting me eat cold rice on such a cold day?"

The shopkeeper was unmoved, standing aside with his hands on his chest, looking like he loved to eat or not, and he didn't eat quickly.

Xiao Xuan looked at the other party with an impatient face, thinking that it was not easy for him to have a seizure when he was alone at the moment, and said nonsense: "I said that the shopkeeper is in a bad year this year? ”

"It's a good year!" "Mazi said with a righteous face, "The Ming monarch is in the court, the good ministers are in power, the wind and rain are smooth, and the night is not closed." What a year!"

Seeing that Xiao Xuan was listening with interest, he snorted and continued: "People are starving to death, of course there is no need to close the door. There's nothing at home, who's going to steal?"

"This rice is swishing!"

A mouthful of rice went down to his stomach, and a sour smell came to his nose, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, slammed the bowl on the ground, and said angrily: "What are you using to fool me!"

Xiao Xuan couldn't hold back anymore and became angry, but suddenly felt that things were a little weird.

The shopkeeper opened a shop on the side of the road, and his eyes should be there, seeing that he was wearing luxurious clothes, he looked like the son of a big family, and he was waiting for it, and silver was indispensable.

But why did he neglect himself so much?

Xiao Xuan took a few steps back and looked around. I saw that at some point, a group of scrawny people appeared in the snow, holding hoes, forks and other things, slowly approaching him.

The reddened eyes looked directly at Xiao Xuan, as if he was watching a good meal.

"This, this, this ......"

Xiao Xuan was taken aback, thinking of what the shopkeeper had said before, and suddenly understood in his heart that this group of extremely hungry villagers was afraid that they were going to treat themselves as food!

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Xuan came up with two countermeasures in his mind:

One, quickly run back to the carriage and drive away.

However, the idea was quickly rejected by him.

Because the villagers had completely separated him from the carriage.

Second, the coachman drove the carriage and rushed towards the crowd. Maybe you can break up the crowd and save yourself.

However, Xiao Xuan looked from afar, and the coachman, like the mentally retarded, was stupidly stunned and indifferent.

Xiao Xuan scolded angrily in his heart, and pointed to the people who gathered around: "I am a member of the Ye Cheng Xiao family, everyone has something to say! If you need food, I will let the clansmen bring it when you go back." ”

Although there is a suspicion that my father is Li Gang, it is also forced to do so.

The villagers ignored his seductive and threatening words, and just stared at him and continued to slowly surround him.

Xiao Xuan looked around at these red-eyed hungry people and suddenly realized.

The reason why this neighborhood is sparsely populated must be due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, which forced the simple villagers to have nothing to eat, and had to block the road in order to survive.

Now that it has fallen into their hands, looking at their blood-red eyes, Xiao Xuan's heart trembles. He could imagine what the gang had done before. I can also guess what kind of consequences I will face once I am defeated.

This situation of being outnumbered must be immediately established to scare these starving people. But his physique is extremely poor, how can he be the opponent of these big men?

Xiao Xuan took out the dagger, had to take a few steps back, and gradually retreated to the place where his back was against the hut.

The crowd that rushed up did not rush to chase and kill Xiao Xuan, but first pounced on the table where Xiao Xuan had sat above, and dozens of hands reached over and snatched the puddle of rice on the table.

The person who didn't grab it hurriedly lay on the ground to find out if there were any fallen rice grains, this scene Xiao Xuan saw in his eyes, he couldn't believe it, and muttered: "How can this be......?

The pockmarks behind the crowd stomped his feet in a hurry, and shouted: "Don't grab the food! Kill him first! If this person escapes, the Xiao family will retaliate, and we will all die! Kill him, I will ensure that you have food and drink!"

Hearing this, the villagers behind suddenly became bolder, and suddenly stepped forward and bit Xiao Xuan's arm.

Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people.

The pain in Xiao Xuan's hand did not disappear, and his calf was hugged again, and he couldn't shake it off, so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Seeing that Xiao Xuan is about to become a meal on a plate, eating in his mouth—

Dada.

There was a sound of horses' hooves.

In the snow, an iron cavalry of about ten people came from far and near.

The leader was dressed in black, and carried a sword on a prancing horse.

When he got closer, he slashed Mazi's face to the ground with a horizontal knife.

When everyone saw the iron rider rushing towards them, their faces changed greatly, and they were all shocked.

Desperate to escape in all directions.

The black-clothed man at the head waved his right hand backwards and said coldly:

"Not a single one remains. ”

"Yes!"

When the nine men heard this, they carried knives and killed the villagers.

After a few moments, all the heads of the villagers fell to the ground, and no one survived.

At the same time, the black-clothed man led by him turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Xiao Xuan, knelt on one knee, and said:

"It's too late, young master forgiveness. ”

Xiao Xuan hurriedly helped him up.

"It's not too late, it's quite a coincidence. ”

Xiao Xuan quipped.

He recognized this person, this was his father's subordinate Xiao Wu.

"Let's go. ”

Xiao Xuan's heart palpitated, and waved his hand at everyone.

At this moment, a sound of breaking wind sounded. When they looked up, they saw a huge meteorite falling from the sky. The meteorite is so huge that if it hits, there will be no bones left!

"Disperse!"

Xiao Xuan roared.

With his roar, everyone came to their senses and immediately dispersed to the side.

Xiao Xuan hurriedly spread his legs and ran towards the carriage.

When the coachman saw that Xiao Xuan was surrounded, he was anxious.

Just as he was about to draw his knife and kill, he suddenly saw the Xiao family coming in time, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, immediately after, I saw a big stone fall from the sky, and when I was dumbfounded, I saw Xiao Xuan running towards the carriage, and I was suddenly ecstatic.

"Young Master, get on the horse!"

“....... I know that. ”

Xiao Xuan trembled, shivered from the cold, climbed into the carriage, thought about the situation, and suddenly felt afraid.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the coachman's voice almost tremble:

"Less....... Young master, the meteorite is coming!"

"What?"

Xiao Xuan didn't understand what he meant for a while, and hurriedly poked his head out of the window, it was okay not to look at it, but after looking at it, his complexion changed suddenly:

Instead of smashing vertically into the ground, the boulder smashed towards his carriage as if it were a target!

"Big ...... Big brother, you're smashing it!"

Xiao Xuan scolded angrily, his heart was like 10,000 peach and plum horses galloping past, and he yelled at the coachman: "What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly throw up the whip and let the horse run!"

Hearing this, the groom reacted, waved his whip, and shook the peach and plum horse violently, thinking that it was because he was too hungry, and the horse did not move at all!

"Less...... Young master, the horse has no strength to run, how is this good!"

Seeing that the meteorite was getting closer and closer, the horse shook itself with the whip, not moving at all, like a trembling m.

Looking at Tao Li Ma's more and more warped ass, Xiao Xuan's face was cold, he pulled out the dagger and poked it at the buttocks!

The peach and plum horse was hit in the buttocks, went crazy in pain, stepped up the horse's hooves, and galloped forward!

"Young Master, your trick is really amazing!"

Seeing that this trick worked, the groom smiled and said to Xiao Xuan courteously.

Xiao Xuan glanced at him, too lazy to pay attention to this pig teammate.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he glanced back, intentionally or unintentionally, but saw that the meteorite turned around again like a lock-on target, and smashed towards the carriage like an unstoppable one!

Xiao Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "What does this mean? Let me rush back in the ice and snow, forget it! I was almost torn apart, but I endured it." But what does this relentless meteorite mean? If it's a test, can I make the meteorite a little smaller? Such a big piece, let me block it with my head!"

He was really angry, such a meteorite with a length and width of several feet was clearly going to kill him!

And as soon as he finished speaking, the meteorite seemed to become a little smaller.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan's heart moved, and he rubbed his eyes, for fear of hallucinations, and muttered tentatively: "You can be a little smaller." ”

This time, he saw it very clearly, and the huge meteorite suddenly became much smaller.

"This ......." was surprised, and didn't have time to think about it, Xiao Xuan continued: "It's a little smaller." ”

The meteorite became smaller and smaller as far as the eye could see, and finally, it formed a black ring, flew into the carriage, and put it on Xiao Xuan's right hand.

Just for some reason, I suddenly saw an interface pop up in the black ring:

Name: Xiao Xuan

Realm: Three layers of foundation

Martial Arts: None

Equipment: None

Constitution: 1

Body: 1

Chivalry: 0

(Average data of the same realm: physique: 3 body method: 3)

Yes, his physique and body style are so bad that they can't be worse.

The old patriarch died, and the new patriarch took office and asked him to return to the Xiao family.

But he was unwilling to return to the family.

His cultivation talent is not good, and his physique is extremely poor, and now he is thirteen years old and has just reached the third layer of foundation building, and he is afraid that he will have to stay in this realm for the rest of his life.

However, he doesn't have much pursuit in his heart, in his opinion, it is good to study in the countryside and be an ordinary person.

Back in the family, maybe you will be subjected to some inevitable ridicule.

After all, this is a world where individual strength is extremely important.

Here, the monsters are vertical and horizontal, the heroes compete for hegemony, the dynasties are numerous, the masters are like clouds, the families attack the lords, and the sects compete with each other.

Here, personal force is amplified without limits.

Here, there is an energy called spiritual power between heaven and earth. The level of one's strength depends on the cultivation of spiritual power.

Li Bai crisscrossed the continent, raised his pen to fight the world, retreated from thousands of enemies, and the Qinglian sword was determined, proving with poetry that its strength was unfathomable.

Lu Dongbin Huashan enlightened, purple qi came from the east, and finally realized the sword intent, and created the first force of the Tang Dynasty - Chunyang Palace.

The dynasty in which he lived was called the Tang Dynasty. In the southern part of the Baichuan Continent. There is Tianyi Sect in the west, Dongying Ronin in the east, Nanzhao Palace in the south, and as for the north, Fang is the core of this continent!

There, it's called Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou has four major families: Tangjiabao, Changgemen, Badao Villa, and Tibetan Sword Villa.

In the core area of Zhongzhou, the two major forces have fought for territory and resources for thousands of years: Haoqi Alliance and Valley of the Wicked.

One is the world-famous and decent and righteous league, and the other is a demon organization in the world's mouth.

However, the black and white of good and evil in the world are originally the same source of water, and there will be a time when turbidity, good and evil will flow together. The so-called good and evil are just a vague hexagram, and the so-called good and evil are just different positions.

In addition, there are many secluded forces other than transcendent things: Xia Ke Island, Wanhua Valley, Qixiufang, Five Poison Sect, Ming Sect......

The Five Poisons Sect lives in seclusion and generally does not involve the Central Plains. But once you provoke them, there is no other way than to die, otherwise the five poisons will hunt you down to the ends of the earth, coupled with their unique corpse control and bone refining poison making techniques, they often kill people invisibly.

Xia Ke Island, according to legend, has countless martial arts cheats and panacea that are difficult to see in the outside world. The men on the island are smart and handsome, and the women are as beautiful as flowers, and all of them are powerful. Any person on the island can be famous all over the world. There are also those who are not convinced to go to Xia Ke Island to find out, but those who have been to Xia Ke Island not only abandon their cultivation after coming back, but also do not say a word about the things on the island......

The carriage slowly drove towards the most prosperous Lanling street in Yecheng.

Along the way, you will see some famine-stricken villagers, desperate in this cold winter.
