Chapter 1: Visions
It's late at night, and the world is dark.
At this time, the south of the Nine Shadows Divine Prefecture was in the barren mountain known as the forbidden area of heaven and earth.
Whew-whew!
Whew-whew!
The birds and beasts left over from the primeval flood era began to roar unscrupulously, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and the huge roar made the mountains and ravines all exude a terrifying aura to the surroundings.
The trees and rocks in the mountains shook awe-inspiringly, and some had even been uprooted, crackling and rolling in the air.
The shaking of the mountains was endless, and the desolate mountains that had been undulating and vast as far as the eye could see seemed so small and powerless at this time.
It used to be the place where God was, but now it's bleak.
This endless secret mountain range is called "Laifeng", which is the habitat of the "Colorful Divine Phoenix" at the beginning of the primeval chaos, but then after tens of thousands of years of evolution, until 30,000 years ago, due to the sudden appearance of a mysterious broken void over the Laifeng Mountain Range, the miracle here finally disappeared.
No one knows what happened here, but all the descendants know that there are still countless unsolved mysteries hidden in this endless and mysterious Laifeng Mountain Range......
......
......
In the early morning, the early dawn sun was warm and warm, sprinkled on all things on the earth, dyed a piece of gold.
There was a bleak silence all around, and the mysterious thunder and the roar of wild beasts that had appeared last night had receded, and there was a brief return to the place.
At this time, at the southern foot of the Laifeng Mountains, Qingshi Village.
Early in the morning, the people gathered at the head of the village early before they had time to wash, and gathered around a huge willow tree in front of the village that had been nearly 300 years old, looking at each other, and discussing the incredible scene in front of them.
No one knew what had happened in the nearby valley last night, let alone why the supposedly thriving willow tree in front of them had become so strange.
The leaves of the willow tree have withered, and the willow leaves are empty and blown off by the breeze.
The leaves are tumbling in the air, and they are gloomy.
There was already a thick layer on the ground, completely submerging the appearance that was supposed to be here.
And not only this willow tree, which had survived for more than three hundred years, but even the surrounding leafy forests began to become languishing and dead, just like the towering willow tree in front of them now, without any life.
......
"Strange..."
"That's weird!"
"This huge willow tree has been around since the beginning of the village, and it has never withered for hundreds of years, but how did it become like this now?"
"Could it have something to do with last night's unusual beast roar and thunderbolt?"
The people chatted with each other, and blamed all the unusual sight they had seen on the strange thing that had happened in the middle of the night.
"Hey... What's the matter with us lately, it's the beast infested and the lightning and thunder, is it the same as the one that appeared sixteen years ago, is it the disaster brought by the coffin?" At this time, among the many clansmen gathered around the willow tree in front of the village, a thin, hunched and silver-haired old man with a long beard standing at the front sighed heartily.
The old man wrinkled his brows and pondered, the gray cloth robe that he wore with an ancient atmosphere almost wrapped his entire body, and his right hand clutched the bronze wooden staff that was almost as high as him, for fear of falling to the ground if he was unsteady on his feet.
"The Great Elder is right! I think it must be him!" a bearded man behind the old man spoke bluntly without thinking after the elder finished speaking.
"That's it, since that coffin seed came to our village, do you think about how many strange things have happened in our village in the past ten years!?" Another man next to him also scolded stupidly.
"yes... Great Elder, since that child was sent here by that person sixteen years ago, this unusual vision has occurred in our village one after another, although there have been no accidents that have hurt people's lives over the years, but it is because of the appearance of these visions that the elixirs we are responsible for planting for the Heavenly Star Pavilion are all withering day by day, and the harvest is also decreasing year by year. In the long run, if he stays in the village any longer, I am afraid that sooner or later it will bring terrible disasters to our people..."At this time, a thin middle-aged man who was following the old man spoke the heartfelt words of the villagers.
"Great Elder, let's get rid of him quickly!
Although he didn't finish his sentence, the people present knew in their hearts what he wanted to say.
"That's it, drive him away!"
"That's right! Immediately let him get out of Qingshi Village!"
......
The clansmen rushed to scold each other, and it seemed that in the hearts of each of them they had a grudge against the so-called "coffin seed", with an indescribable disgust.
"That's it... That's it... For the sake of the whole village, I had to do that......"
The old man trembled slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he had to nod silently, agreeing with everyone's opinion.
......
At the same time, near the foothills of the bamboo forest in the east of Qingshi Village.
Crackling!
In the dim cave, a pile of dry wood on the ground was suddenly ignited by a pillar of fire bursting out from the depths of the darkness, making a crackling sound.
A young man was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed with his eyes closed, and a red halo gathered around his body, and there were faint flames in the halo, although it was not so dazzling, but it quickly enveloped the entire cave.
The boy remained motionless in this position, and the entire cave was silent except for the snorting of flames.
After he had been doing this for about half an hour, the crimson halo that had gathered around the boy's body gradually began to fade, and slowly disappeared along with the flames that had grown from the dry wood on the ground, until finally the originally bright cave fell into darkness again, leaving only a pile of black ash mixed with scattered sparks.
The sunlight slowly poured in through the cracks in the leaves, and the young man, who had not been active for a long time, opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief, his broad forehead was already covered with a little beads of sweat, but before he could wipe it, he heard a rush of footsteps from outside.
Rustling!
Rustling!
The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and the steps were slight, and the shriveled leaves on the ground kept making a non-stop sound.
"Xiao Lin, your Flame Killing Technique is one level closer!"
Just as the boy raised his head slightly to look at the entrance of the cave, a young girl in Tsing Yi, who was slightly older than the boy, with a bamboo basket in her hand, walked in gently.
"It turned out to be Sister Shi Qing!" The young man's sudden vigilance was finally relieved after recognizing the person in front of him.
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who was not handsome and sitting on the stone platform was named Chu Xiaolin, and the young girl named Shi Qing in front of him was the granddaughter of the elder of Qingshi Village.
In the past sixteen years, since Chu Xiaolin's memory, only the girl in front of him in the entire village has taken care of Chu Xiaolin in every way, teaching him to read and write and cultivate spiritual power, which also made Chu Xiaolin, who had never felt family affection, feel a trace of warmth from this girl who regarded him as his own.
In fact, strictly speaking, Chu Xiaolin cannot be regarded as a person from Qingshi Village.
Because he is the "coffin seed" that the villagers of Qingshi Village said brought them countless disasters. It is precisely because of this that the people of Qingshi Village all squint at him, and every time they see Chu Xiaolin, they will drive him away mercilessly, and they can't wait to drive this coffin that has brought countless disasters out of Qingshi Village.
Faced with the cold eyes of the villagers, as a child who was just sixteen years old, Chu Xiaolin himself didn't know why. But in order to survive, he can only endure the abuse of others, and stay alone in this cold and dark cave to live a life of "living in secret".
As for his life experience, Chu Xiaolin only knew that he was born in a coffin, and the rest of his memory was even more blank in his mind, and he had no thoughts at all.
Chu Xiaolin also tried to find some clues about his life experience through the things left around him.
But in the end, all that was found was a purple wood box and an amethyst pendant that he had been wearing around his neck since he was born.
There was nothing superfluous in the purple wooden box, except for a beast bone engraved with a strange pattern and a book of "Secret Fire Recipes" that recorded spiritual power cultivation.
......
"How is the wound you were beaten by Shi Yun and them, does it still hurt?" the girl named Shi Qing asked with concern as soon as she came in.
Chu Xiaolin smiled innocently, and after touching the blood spots on his forehead that were still slightly bruised, he responded: "En, thanks to these elixirs, the wound is much better now." ”
"That's good, these are the larks that I secretly picked up early this morning, so it's like I sent them to you while I didn't find out by others!"
Shi Qing habitually placed the bamboo basket filled with some lark grass on the stone table beside him, and turned his bright eyes to Chu Xiaolin, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform opposite.
"I just saw your cultivation, I didn't expect that your spiritual power cultivation has improved a lot, and you can actually reach the level of the second order of spirit disciples! It seems that the lark grass planted in our village is really effective for the cultivation of spiritual power!"
Shi Qing's clear voice seemed to be interesting, which made the entire originally gloomy cave suddenly become a lot more interesting, and Chu Xiaolin also jumped off the stone bed after listening to Shi Qing's words, and the corners of his mouth glanced at the simple and simple laughter.
This lark grass belongs to the mortal-level second grade among the elixirs.
Although the grade is not high, because it has a good effect on both healing and cultivation, the local clansmen will carry out large-scale planting to meet the needs of Tianxing Pavilion.
...
"Sister Shi Qing, you have lost me again, although I have made some progress in the past two years, and my spiritual power cultivation has finally reached the level of the second order of the spirit disciple, but it is still far from you, Sister Shi Qing, who has reached the level of the fifth order of the spirit disciple. ”
Shi Qing smiled softly and indifferently, as if comforting Chu Xiaolin, and said, "Xiaolin, although your physique is poor, I believe that as long as you practice diligently, you will definitely catch up with me one day." ”
"Hmm!"
Chu Xiaolin nodded innocently, "In the future, I will have to rely on your guidance and secretly help me go to the Medicine Valley to pick elixirs, otherwise with a body like mine, I am afraid that I will never reach your current level if I rely on myself." ”
Chu Xiaolin's voice revealed indescribable gratitude and admiration for Shi Qing
After all, Shi Qing's cultivation from the first order to the second order of the spirit disciple when he was a child only took a year's work.
Although the secret of his spiritual cultivation relied on himself according to the records in the "Secret Fire Technique" and Shi Qing's guidance, it took Chu Xiaolin a full ten years to go from the first order to the second order of the spirit disciple.
In the past ten years, for a person with cultivation talent, he may have already broken through the physical limit of a ninth-order spirit disciple and reached the quenching spirit realm that can truly be called a strong person, but for Chu Xiaolin, due to the special situation of his body, those are just unattainable reverie.
......
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Qing blinked his clear and translucent eyes and sighed, and there seemed to be a gloomy sadness in those bright eyes.
"Hey, this may be the last time I've been here to see you in this time..."
