Chapter 12: The Path of Darkness Begins

The Immortal Cloud Sect, located directly above the Five Great Spirit Master Sects of the Middle Realm, the apex of the 'Pentagon', is not too far away from the small village of Xiangdie Village, which is not very inconspicuous, but it is definitely not close.

The Middle Realm is vast, and the spiritual energy is abundant, and all kinds of spirit beasts have developed extremely rapidly with the help of this unique condition, both in quantity and quality. And the existence of these spirit beasts is also the biggest challenge that Xiaoqufeng has to face in this distance. You must know that the furious bear that Xiao Qufeng and Zhang Hao faced in the periphery of the Qi Lian Mountain Range before was just one of the more common spirit beasts, but it almost ended Xiao Qufeng's life, so you can imagine the danger of his journey.

...

"Mouse, I'm leaving soon, I can't play with you in the future, I can't fight with you, and I can't eat delicious food with you, don't worry, I'll miss you when I'm gone." ”

As the sun set obliquely, two and a half children lay quietly on the straw pile with their hands under their heads, feeling the residual heat of the sunset.

Zhang Hao glanced at Xiao Qufeng, with a little complicated emotions in his eyes, and said, "Are you going to leave so soon?"

Xiao Qufeng nodded and said, "Grandma has promised me, and I'm going to start chasing my dreams." ”

Parting is imminent, the two children have a lot of reluctance in their hearts, after all, the two have grown up together since childhood, have fought, quarreled, this most innocent feeling can often make people miss the most. Don't look at Xiao Qufeng, who always looks brainless on weekdays, and when it comes to this kind of parting, he is still like an ordinary child, although the tears have not flowed out for the time being.

Zhang Hao was silent for a long time, the sunset had gradually set on the mountain, and the sky was slowly darkening.

"Mouse..."Xiao Qufeng saw that Zhang Hao didn't speak, and muttered softly.

"Hey. Zhang Hao sat up, looked at Xiao Qufeng's immature face, and said, "I heard that in the way of the spirit, the supreme is the emperor. Aren't you always yelling that you want to be the most powerful spirit master? ”

The Spirit Emperor, not to mention being placed in the Middle Realm, even if he looks at the entire Dream Heaven and Land, it is definitely equivalent to the existence of legends. Reached the level of the Spirit Emperor, although it can't be called the strongest, but it's not far off, you must know that the latest rumor about the Spirit Emperor was twenty-four years ago, the man named Death, and it was just a rumor!

"Spirit Emperor, okay, I will definitely become a Spirit Emperor!" Xiao Qufeng thought for a moment, and then said with excitement on his face, but his tone contained an unusually firm emotion. At this time, if there is a spirit master present, maybe he can really slap Xiao Qufeng to death with a slap, Spirit Emperor? Is it something you can do if you want to! Who doesn't want to become a Spirit Emperor and become a legendary existence of the Dream Heaven and Land, but who can do it? Many people spend their entire lives and can't even break through to the realm of the Soul Master, which shows the difficulty involved in cultivation.

"But... I'm still reluctant to you, mouse. The excitement on Xiao Qufeng's face slowly faded, and the emotion of parting spread in his heart again.

Zhang Hao was stunned, and then said: "You kid, what is there to be reluctant to, I have always been much better than you, what you have to worry about should be how to surpass me, okay? Maybe the next time you see me, I will also be a spirit master, then we will see who is more powerful." ”

Xiao Qufeng was unconvinced after being damaged by Zhang Hao, and said: "Okay, then let's take a look at it then, who is more powerful, I will definitely not lose to your !!"

The immature children's voice, into the sky, with dreams, but also with firmness....

...

Three days later...

Xiao Qufeng is carrying a big package on his back, the package looks bulging, obviously not light, but Xiao Qufeng doesn't look uncomfortable, but the small body is carrying a package that is completely disproportionate to the figure, it looks a little cute, to be precise, it should be funny?

Compared with the current shape of Xiaoqufeng, Wang Po is more exaggerated, in addition to the bag on her back, both hands are also full, and the bent body looks really difficult to bear the weight of these packages.

Although the appearance of the two is very funny, their mouths are not free in the slightest, why, because the two have differences of opinion in some aspects.

"I said I didn't want you to go with me, why didn't you listen?" Of course, the person who said this kind of thing was not Wang Po, but our young people, but we always had to pretend to be old-fashioned little tunes. At this time, he was arguing with Wang Po about whether to let him go on the road alone or be accompanied by Wang Po.

"What is in your child's head, do you know how many difficulties you will have along the way, do you know how many dangers you will have along the way?!!" Wang Po looked a little excited, even a little angry, but because she was really relieved to let him a seven-year-old child face the unknown journey.

"I know that there are difficulties and dangers, but if I retreat if I know that there are difficulties, what kind of immortal cloud sect will I go to, and what kind of spiritual master will I go to, don't try at all, just give up." Xiao Qufeng said.

"No matter what you say, I have to send you to the Immortal Cloud Sect, I won't let you little guy mess around so much. Wang Po said, there was no room for maneuver.

"Yes, Xiaofeng, I also think it's too dangerous to let you go by yourself, you better let Wang Po follow, there is a little bit of care on the way. It was Village Chief Li who spoke, and after learning that Xiao Qufeng was on the road today, he came to Xiao Qufeng's house. From an objective point of view, his opinion this time is consistent with Wang Po's.

"Grandpa the village chief, why do you say that. Xiao Qufeng muttered dissatisfiedly.

Village Chief Li smiled, came to Xiao Qufeng, squatted down and touched his little head, and said: "You kid, although you are not afraid of heaven and earth, but you don't think about the consequences, you are only seven years old, you don't understand anything, and you can at least take care of you with Wang Po by your side." ”

"I'm grown up and don't need much care. Xiao Qufeng said, in the small room, the atmosphere fell into a stalemate for a while...

"Grandpa the village chief, a few days ago, in the small grove on the outskirts of Xiangdie Village, there were many big trees that broke off at the waist, do you know about this?" said Zhang Hao, who had been standing aside without making a sound after a long silence.

Village Chief Li was a little confused, and after thinking for a while, he said: "There is such a thing, the residents on the outskirts of the village said that they heard a lot of movement that day, so I went out with a few young men in the village to see. ”

"Then do you know why these big trees are falling?" Zhang Hao continued.

"How thick those trees are, I guess it should be some spirit beasts that came out of the Qilian Mountains and broke the trees, except for spirit beasts, I really don't know any animal that can have so much power. Actually, I'm also quite worried, for a long time, our Xiangdie Village and Qi Lian'an Mountain Range are two different worlds, this time it's just the trees that suffer, who knows if those spirit beasts will enter our village next time. Speaking of this, Village Chief Li's face couldn't help but feel a little more worried, it was rumored that the boundary river had been enchanted by a spirit venerable, judging from this incident, it couldn't help but make Village Chief Li think that it was because the power of the enchantment was slowly disappearing, if the rumored enchantment really disappeared, then Xiangdie Village was estimated to be unable to exist. However, it is worth mentioning that whether the harmony of Xiangdie Village is really related to the enchantment laid by Lingzun is actually just a legend of Xiangdie Village, and of course there will be no historical records in a small village like Xiangdie Village, so this question is naturally impossible to verify.

"Hehe" Zhang Hao listened to Village Chief Li's words, and suddenly laughed, Xiao Qufeng on the side was just about to drink a glass of water to make up for the saliva that had been consumed with Wang Po before, and after hearing Village Chief Li's words, he squirted out the water that had just been poured into his mouth. Who is the murderer who caused the mess in that grove, isn't it Xiao Qufeng himself, I didn't expect him to let people treat him as some fierce spirit beasts. After 'spitting water', Xiao Qufeng coughed and clutched his stomach and laughed.

"What the hell are you two little guys doing, what we are talking about now is a major matter related to the lives and safety of our whole village, we must treat it with a serious and serious attitude, you know!!! If it is really the power of the enchantment that disappears, then we may have to relocate!!" Village Chief Li said angrily.

"Grandpa the village chief, you should rest assured, there should be no problem with the legendary enchantment. Zhang Hao barely stopped laughing and said.

"How do you know?" said Village Chief Li in confusion.

"Because I happened to be right next to those trees when they fell. Zhang Hao said.

"What? you're next to you?" Village Chief Li was quite surprised.

"Yes, Grandpa the Village Chief, those trees were not broken by some spirit beast, but by this guy. Zhang Hao said, his eyes glancing at Xiao Qufeng, who was still laughing on the side.

After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Village Chief Li could stuff an egg in his mouth, but he was a person who had been to the 'crime scene', so he naturally knew how messy it was, but... Can Village Chief Li believe it, if you want to put it aside, the answer must be no, but Zhang Hao, this kid has always been more stable, and he shouldn't tell such a lie.

"Xiaofeng has such power, what else do you have to worry about. Zhang Hao said.

At this time, Wang Po said: "No matter what you say, I won't let Xiaoqufeng go alone anyway." ”

"Grandma, what do you think you can do for me if you come with me?" Xiao Qufeng stopped laughing, and said with a slightly sinking face, and there was even some disdain in his expression.

"Uhh ”

"Hey" Xiao Qufeng's mouth rose slightly, and he said with disdain: "Take care of me, to put it nicely, you walk slowly like a turtle, your cooking is unpalatable, and you don't know anything when you sleep, you still say to take care of me? In addition to slowing down my speed to reach the Immortal Cloud Sect, what else can you help me? I also know that the spirit beast is dangerous, if I can't deal with it, will you be able to deal with it again? When the time comes, you can only slow down my escape." Speaking of which, you're just a burden to me. ”

"Cumbersome?" muttered Wang Po, tears rolling in her eyes, and she was extremely disappointed with what Xiao Qufeng said. Although Xiao Qufeng is not related to her by blood, she really regards Xiao Qufeng as her grandson, and now in exchange for it, it is a burden...

"Yes, it's a burden. Xiao Qufeng still said unceremoniously.

"Well... Good... Then you can go by yourself, I don't care about you. Wang Po said angrily, sat down, turned her face and wept silently.

"It's for the best. Qu Feng said with a smile, then took a deep look at Wang Po, straightened the package on his back, and walked out of the house. However, the moment she walked out of the house, tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, but Wang Po didn't see it...

And after Xiao Qufeng walked out of the house, Wang Po ran to the door quickly, wanted to say something but couldn't say it after all, she could only look at the petite figure that was gradually moving away, and the old tears were full of tears.

"Xiaofeng, you must come back to know, grandma will always be here waiting for you. Wang Po muttered to herself, her thoughts tumbling.

Since childhood, Wang Po grew up alone, although she was married once when she was young, but her husband died early, and she had no children and no daughters, so she can be said to be very unfamiliar with the word "home".

Since Qu Haotian and Yun'er moved to Xiangdie Village, Wang Po has something more in her heart, it is a feeling that is difficult to describe in words, and since this feeling appeared, Wang Po has learned what happiness is.

And the birth of Qu Feng made Wang Po's feeling of happiness infinitely magnified, and she knew what 'home' was.

But... Haotian is gone, Yun'er is gone, and now Xiaoqufeng is gone, so what is left of her life? maybe... There will be some expectations left, that is, the small song style has become the existence of the peak of the dream Tianlu, appearing by his side....

"Okay, it's all far away, don't look at it. Village Chief Li said.

"Hey..."Wang Po sighed heavily, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "It seems that I am really old, and even Xiaofeng dislikes me as a burden." ”

"Hahahaha......" Village Chief Li suddenly laughed.

"It seems that Xiaofeng dislikes me, you are very happy, aren't you?" said Wang Po weakly.

"Do you really think that Xiaofeng dislikes you? Village Chief Li said.

"What do you mean? Tell me clearly...... Tell me clearly, isn't Xiao Feng disgusting me?" Wang Po asked excitedly as she grabbed Village Chief Li's collar.

....

"Why do you insist on not letting Granny Wang send you there, and let me be a lobbyist too?" asked Zhang Hao, walking on the road.

Qu Feng's expression was a little sad, and tears poured out again, but he bit his lip stubbornly and said, "Grandma is so old, I can't let her go so far with me, her body will not be able to stand it, and it will be very lonely if she comes back alone, isn't it!"

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Hao said, "Then, you must come back." ”

Xiao Qufeng wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and nodded heavily, saying, "Hmm." I will definitely be back!"

Xiao Qufeng and Zhang Hao walked to the entrance of the village, only to see that the entrance of the village was already densely packed with people at this time, all of whom were villagers of Xiangdie Village. Although Xiaoqufeng is lively and active by nature, he is also very cute, and naturally he is loved by many villagers.

"Xiaofeng is leaving, come, this is your favorite pine cake, bring it." Remember to come back and see Uncle Li. Uncle Li walked over and squatted down and said to Xiao Qufeng, and touched Xiao Qufeng's head lovingly after speaking.

"Okay, Lao Li, don't give Xiaofeng so many pine cakes, he still has to bring my honey cakes. A woman said, then wiped the corners of her eyes and continued: "Xiaofeng, you must work hard, and you must give us the face of the head of Xiangdie Village when you go out!"

"That's it, Xiaofeng must be able to do it. ”

"Take care of Xiaofeng...."

"Take care of yourself..."

Xiao Qufeng silently took the things handed by the villagers, and unconsciously, his eyes moistened again...

....

After the repeated bombardment of the villagers, Xiao Qufeng finally walked out of Xiangdie Village, standing at the entrance of the village, he turned his head, stubbornly bit his lip to prevent tears from flowing out, and choked up: "Goodbye, my home." ”

Zhang Hao, who was standing next to Qu Feng, gave Qu Feng a bear hug, took out a delicate-looking knife from his arms and handed it over to Xiao Qufeng, and then said: "This knife was given to me by an old man when I went to the county seat, and I will give it to you now." Take care of yourself, I'm going back, remember to eat well. After finishing speaking, Zhang Hao turned around and left, and at that moment, the pretended indifference disappeared instantly, replaced by only tears. The purest feelings of childhood often go into the deepest part of the heart, don't they?

Xiao Qufeng held the knife wrapped in the scabbard tightly, and his heart was full of reluctance for a while. Closing his eyes slightly, after opening them, he picked up all kinds of food sent by the villagers, carried a large package on his back, and walked out of his first step with tears in his eyes.

The villagers behind Xiao Qufeng waved their hands at Xiao Qufeng's back with tears in their eyes.

Behind a tree not far away, Wang Po quietly looked at Xiao Qufeng's petite body, suddenly smiled, and muttered, "Xiao Feng...... Grandma believes in you. ”
