Chapter 1: Sending Letters
In the crisp birch forest, an ox cart walked slowly, this is the village chief of Luzhu Village, Chongsan, and his son Chongao rushed back from a relative's house ten miles away. The road is not far, but the speed of the ox cart is not so fast, Chongao wants to pee, Chongsan pulls the ox cart. Chongao immediately ran into the depths of the woods, and then came out screaming. "Dad, there's someone in there. ”
"What?" Chongsan hurriedly jumped down from the ox cart and went to the birch forest with his son, where a middle-aged man dressed as a merchant was lying on the ground, and although a dozen long arrows on his body did not hit the vital point, there was no doubt that the middle-aged man was seriously injured. Some looked at the man who fell to the ground with fear, tried his snort with his hand, and was still alive. "Hey, wake up. Chongsan pushed the man with his hand, but it was clear that the man was still unconscious.
"Dad, what should I do?" Fourteen-year-old Chongao was still very young, and he didn't know what to do with it.
"You can't die without help. Ao'er, help Daddy, carry this man into the car, and put it here, if a wild beast comes, this man will definitely die. ”
"Hmm. Chongao nodded, and together with his father, he carried the injured man to the car. Back in Luzhu Village, Chongsan quickly found Qi Langzhong in the village to come over for diagnosis and treatment, and shook his head while diagnosing and treating Qi Langzhong, "The patient is seriously injured, and he has also been poisoned by a strange poison, which I can't cure." Moreover, this poison greatly hinders the healing of the patient's injuries, and if it weren't for his strong physique, I'm afraid he would have died long ago. ”
"That's it," Chongsan also frowned, bringing a dead man back for no reason, he originally wanted to do a good deed, but it wasn't unlucky for a person to die in his own home.
"Village Chief, who is this person?" Qi Langzhong asked with some curiosity.
"On the way back from Ao'er and I, Ao'er went to the birch forest to relieve his hands and found him, fearing that he would be seriously injured and eaten by wild beasts in the jungle, so I brought him back. I didn't expect ......."
"The patient's coma is caused by excessive weakness, and he should wake up with some physical strength. Prepare something to eat for him. If he could wake up, he might still have a chance to live. ”
"But Qi Langzhong, didn't you just say that you can't solve his poison. And if the poison is not solved, his wounds will not recover. How can you say that he still has hope?"
"Although his injuries are quite serious, his body is very capable of repairing, if I guess correctly, this man can do kung fu, even spells, if he can summon his companions, maybe he can save his life. Qi Langzhong prescribed some prescriptions to replenish qi and stabilized the patient's injuries with acupuncture. Yao Tai woke up, and after communicating with Chongsan, Chongsan figured out Yao Tai's origin. Yao Tai is the elder of Qingfeng Gate, this time he encountered the conspiracy of the steel door, his spiritual power was sealed, and he had no ability to fight against the steel door at all, this time he could not escape his life, but he definitely wanted to repay the grace of saving his life, Yao Tai used his spiritual power to inject the two jade slips into the content and instructed Chongsan and his family to send the jade slips to the Qingfeng Gate after his death. Yao Tai died of illness three days later, and after Chongsan buried Yao Tai in a low-key manner, he let his child Chongao take Yao Tai's jade slip as soon as possible. Send it to Aoshan Qingfeng Gate. Chongao left, and within three days, a large number of martial arts people entered Luzhu Village, and after many searches, they returned in vain.
Chongao is already fourteen years old this year. Although young, he is very witty. Chongsan's education since he was a child has been about giving grace and not expecting reciprocation, but Chongao is too eager to cultivate immortals, imagining how pleasant it is for people to gallop in the sky like birds. So this time they made an exception. While humming a small song, Chong Ao in coarse cloth clothes walked along, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. A tea stall was set up on the side of the mountain, and Chongao was a little thirsty. I sat at the tea stall and asked for a cup of tea, and while resting, I listened to several other tables talking about the things in the rivers and lakes and the cultivation realm.
"Have you heard, a few days ago, Lietao, the treasure of the Flame Gate's town faction, was stolen. The gray-clothed warrior said to the tea drinker next to him as if he knew everything.
"Lietao is the treasure of the Flame Gate, and without that thing, it is estimated that the Flame Gate will be disbanded. The similarly dressed young man sitting at the same table said with some schadenfreude. "At the beginning, I asked the Flame Gate to help me refine my weapons, but they resolutely disagreed, and said that they would definitely not agree to help them refine their weapons if they didn't agree to help them refine their weapons for a few years. ”
"The martial arts and reputation of the Flame Gate are very average, if it weren't for the Fierce Waves who could refine their weapons, they would have been disbanded a long time ago, but with the Fierce Waves Flame Gate, there are also more than a dozen monks guarding it, how can it be so easy for people to steal the treasure of the town faction. ”
"This thing is a bit weird, to say that the role of that Lietao is very chicken, and those who are strong enough to defeat those monks don't need Lietao to refine their weapons, and those who need him are people who have just cultivated immortals. It can't deal with a dozen cultivators at all. ”
"That's the case," the people at the same table also came back to their senses, "I said that the strength of the Flame Gate is not strong, how can the treasure of the town faction still be able to keep the treasure, it turned out to be a chicken rib, no wonder ......"
After resting almost, Chongao continued to hurry, and the journey was quite smooth, and soon he arrived at the mountain gate of Qingfeng Gate, and the guard in front of the gate was easy to dismiss. In order to give his son the opportunity to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect, Chongsan spent a lot of money, plus Chong Ao was very clever, so no one noticed that this child was full of treasures. After giving a dozen taels of silver to send the guards away, Chongao was taken to the meeting hall of Qingfeng Gate, and more than a dozen elders sat in the hall, looking at Chongao menacingly.
"Who are you, what happened to Elder Yao!" Qingfeng Sect Leader You Lingdao knew that this person was just an ordinary person, so he didn't use spiritual power to coerce, but this also made Chongao a little reluctant to kneel down and worship.
"I ...... I...... I am Chongao, a few days ago we rescued a seriously injured man on the road, he also fell into a strange poison, no one in our village doctor could save him, he asked me to give this to you. Chongao shuddered and took out the jade slip that Yao Tai had given him from his arms. As soon as You Ling's mind moved, Yu Jian broke free of Chongao's hand and flew into You Ling's hand, You Ling's divine thought entered Yu Jian, and quickly scanned the contents of Yu Jian, "Damn!" You Ling slapped the table fiercely, shouted angrily, and Chongao sat directly on the ground in fright.
"Senior Brother Zhang, what's wrong with Senior Brother Yao?" Seeing You Ling's angry appearance, everyone didn't care about Chong Ao's performance, but asked You Ling.
"The abominable stainless steel door, the one who dares to assassinate our Qingfeng Gate. You Ling said indignantly, and then handed the jade slip to the others, and Yao Tai's words in the jade slip were quickly seen by all the elders.
"Brother in charge, the stainless steel door is not divided between right and wrong, because of unknown reasons to the cultivators wantonly kill, although the junior brother is not proficient in learning but can not see the stainless steel door so wanton, so he took action to stop it, but was conspired by the steel door, the poisonous steel arrow of the stainless steel door in the body, the spiritual power is difficult to operate, although all the people who are chasing and killing are eliminated, but they are also unable to escape their lives. The foolish brother will not ask the sect for revenge because of his own personal grudges, but the action of the stainless steel gate has robbed countless living beings, and I hope that the senior brother will take the common people as his thoughts, punish this cancer, and return the world to a clear mind. The foolish brother's life will be suspended, but the grace of saving his life must be repaid by the foolish brother. The foolish brother has promised to let this son practice the immortal law, and he also hopes that the head of the family will become Yucheng. The foolish brother can no longer take care of his wife and children, so he begs the senior brother to take care of him. Yao Tai is the first to be killed!"
"The stainless steel gate is so hateful, you actually dare to do something to our elders, what do you say, senior brother?" Elder Hu, who had the biggest temper, was furious, "Someone else has already ridden on our heads, are you going to endure this breath?"
"This matter is currently just Senior Brother Yao's words, let's rely on this jade slip alone to find trouble with the Stainless Steel Gate, I'm afraid it will be true, Senior Brother in charge should let people go to the territory of the Stainless Steel Gate to investigate-" Elder Ba Zhi said that Yao Tai has always been strong in his work, and he is unforgiving, and he is a little suspicious of what Yao Tai said.
"Senior Brother Ba, do you think what Yao Tai said is false? Do you think he will tell this lie with his own life!" Hu Lou stopped saying this, and immediately became angry.
"Listen to me!" Balu hurriedly interrupted Hu Lou's words, according to his train of thought, I am afraid that there will be infighting in the sect again. "We can't just rely on Yao Tai's words as evidence in this matter, but also check the facts, and with the facts as the basis, we have enough reasons to do it, so that it will not be said to be a revenge. ”
"Hu Lou makes sense," You Ling nodded, feeling that this method was very safe.
"And what about this child?" Someone finally remembered the pride that had fallen to the ground.
"Although Yao Tai promised to give him the opportunity to cultivate immortals, but this person's qualifications are average, and I am afraid that there is no future for cultivating immortals, so it is better to give him some money and send him away. Hu Lou looked at Chongao and was very unoptimistic.
"Although the qualifications are only average, I think this kid still has some aura, so let's give him this chance. Balu also looked at Chongao carefully, although the child was frightened and fainted by a word from the master, but this kid's courage and wisdom to run here from a hundred miles away are also outstanding.
"What do you think?" You Ling thought it would be better to let everyone raise their hands to vote.
"I think it's better to let him stay here, he could have traveled so far to deliver our letters, but we can't let a child run back from this far away. If this thing gets out of the way, it won't be very good for our sect's reputation. Elder Chen thought about it for a moment, "Besides, with the fact that the people of these small villages have the opportunity to have a child who can cultivate immortals, it is absolutely known to the world in less than half a day, if you don't accept him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve it, even if you give him more gold, silver and jewelry, staying in the village will be just a joke, which is a bit cruel for a child." ”
"Yes, that's a real problem. As soon as this question was spoken, You Ling also felt that it was not as simple as he imagined, "In this way, let him cultivate in the outer gate first, if he really has a talent, the sect can consider including him in the inner gate." (To be continued......)
