The hay was on fire, and the raging flames immediately soared into the sky, this was the request of the King of Ten Thousand Years to Liang Hu, and the red thread wound around its body was almost impossible to clean up because of the passage of time, so it was simply turned into ashes with a fire. As for the body of the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King, it will inevitably be injured under the burning fire, but as an earth-based plant spirit, it can take advantage of this opportunity to be reborn, as long as it is far away from this place and finds a safe and hidden place, the Ten Thousand Years Ginseng King can continue to absorb more sun and moon essence to make up for this loss.

A gust of mountain wind blew, but the towering flames did not move with the wind, but quickly retreated inward, as if something beneath the ground was desperately trying to attract them. The flames swirled and swayed shorter and thinner, and after a moment the entire pillar of fire disappeared without a trace, leaving only a shallow pit half a meter in diameter, and the cheerful whispers in the air, which were the joy of the Ten Thousand Years Ginseng King who had been trapped here for decades after regaining his freedom, although its body surface was burned by the flames and became miserable, but with this opportunity to be reborn, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Liang Hu, who was standing nearby, felt a pure and powerful earth-based aura slowly disappear into the depths of the ground, raised his hand and swung a few times in the direction where the King of Ten Thousand Years was gone, which could be regarded as seeing off the other party. After the flame was extinguished and the temperature dropped, Liang Hu picked up a handful of branches and began to dig the deep pit left by the departure of King Wannian San, just now the other party sent the last message to his mind, saying that he had left a gift to thank Liang Hu for his kindness, which couldn't help but make Liang Hu feel a little curious, Wannian King was trapped here for so many years, what can be left?

It didn't take Liang Hu a few minutes to dig open the pit it it left behind, and the branches struck on a hard object, making a reverberation, and Liang Hu bent down and pulled a fist-sized stone out of the dirt. When Liang Hu grabbed the stone, he immediately felt the surging aura contained in it, which was no less than the movement made when the King of Wannian Ginseng left, Liang Hu was shocked at first, and then immediately overjoyed, he originally thought that it might be a souvenir, but he never thought that it could be valued by the King of Wannian and left to himself, it was such a treasure.

Liang Hu cleaned the stone and found that it was a grayish-brown color similar to that of earth, and a rhizome was wrapped in the center, which looked very much like amber stone, except that the essence of the earth aura emanated from it was not the gold aura. Liang Hu took a closer look, and felt that the rhizome wrapped in the middle of the stone was somewhat similar to the root of ginseng, reminiscent of what happened to the King of Ginseng decades ago, Liang Hu estimated that this should be the part left after being cut off by the ginseng pickers.

Liang Hu carefully put away this "Samwang Stone", and then walked towards Liang Shan, who was standing silent not far away. What happened today in the Dry Grass Valley was too impactful for Liang Shan, a 15-year-old child, who saw someone shoot for the first time, the corpse of the dead for the first time, and the first time he saw Liang Hu show his skills in front of him. Among them, there is a black fog and golden light that I can't understand at all, and it looks like a trick.

Especially just now, Liang Shan's cousin sat there nodding and raising his hand, as if he was talking to someone, but Liang Shan, who was hiding from afar, couldn't see anything, just felt a gust of breeze blowing on his face, and later Liang Hu summoned himself to help him light a pillar of fire, but the way the flame burned was completely beyond Liang Shan's understanding, when did the flames not go up, but disappeared into the ground? As for Liang Hu digging something from the burned fire pit next, it is not surprising.

Liang Hu didn't say anything more to Liang Shan, whether the latter's psychology can adapt to what happened today is related to whether Liang Shan can get in touch with Liang Hu's most important secret in the future, if Liang Shan really can't get rid of the psychological shadow brought by the current situation, Liang Hu has no choice but to give up the previous invitation, and then use a lifetime of rich life to compensate for his cousin.

Liang Shan's psychological endurance seems to exceed Liang Hu's expectations, which may be related to the fact that he often goes up the mountain to hunt and is used to killing, but it may also be because he is too young to think so much, he followed Liang Hu as if there was no one and dug three shallow pits, and carried the three corpses here into them. When the two of them were busy, Xiao Xue, who was sitting in a daze, also joined in, and she didn't say a word just mechanical digging and buried the buried body.

In addition to the Miao man and the old Taoist, the third corpse is the black shadow that first appeared to attract the attention of the old Taoist, this is a corpse that has just died not long ago, Liang Shan does not know him, he can only guess from the clothes It should be the mountain people in this vicinity, most of them were hired as guides by Miao men like Liang Shan, but they embarked on a road of no return to Huangquan.

"Thank you. After burying the three corpses, Xiaoxue lowered her head and said to Liang Hu: "Although he plotted against me, after all, he raised me for more than ten years, and now I don't owe him anything." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture. Liang Hu replied, "It's not early, let's go!"

Liang Hu and his entourage left the Dry Grass Valley and walked on the mountain road when they came, Liang Shan was familiar with the terrain and walked in front, Xiaoxue followed closely behind Liang Hu, and he looked like he was about to become Liang Hu's shadow. Liang Shan saw that Liang Hu was still naked, so he took off a piece of his own clothes and handed it to his cousin, and when Liang Hu was getting dressed, he asked in a low voice: "Brother, if the family asks about her, what will I say?"

Liang Hu knew that the person Liang Shan was referring to was Xiaoxue, he shook his head and said, "No, Xiaoxue doesn't go to our house." After saying this, Liang Hu saw a frightened expression on Xiao Xue's face, and he quickly explained: "I took Xiao Xue to the town and temporarily lived in her former residence. Xiaoshan, after you go back, if someone asks about me, they will say that I will go to a friend's house for a few days. ”

Liang Shan glanced at Xiaoxue and felt that this girl was wearing her cousin's clothes, if she brought it back like this, the family might not know how to think about it, so he nodded and agreed. He walked a few steps, and finally couldn't help but turn around and ask a question: "Brother, what if...... If I hadn't met you today, would I have turned into a corpse like that person?"

"You say it's what if, but the truth is that you met me today, so don't think about things that haven't happened. Liang Hu patted Liang Shan on the shoulder and said to him: "Xiaoshan, in short, as long as I am here, I will not let you be hurt." ”

"Brother, you told me that you would see a lot of things and hear a lot of things, is this what is the situation today?" Liang Shan didn't get the answer he wanted, and asked again a little unwillingly.

"As you can see today, because I have a little different ability, so I have come into contact with a world that ordinary people can't imagine, this world is indeed the law of the jungle, but it is not what you imagined, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood are endless all day long!" Liang Hu said this, paused slightly, gave Liang Shan some time to think, and then continued: "Many times it is not that we want to kill, but that the beast wants to eat people, and we can only use this means to protect ourselves. Think about what you did when the boar rushed at me, do you think you're doing something wrong?"

Looking at Liang Shan with a thoughtful look, Liang Hu waved him goodbye and walked towards the outside of the mountain with Xiaoxue. Liang Hu thought a lot about this girl's arrangement, the old Taoist priest cultivated Xiaoxue as a Ding furnace for a long time, which means that her own qualifications are not bad, and Xiaoxue saw the "Golden Light Talisman" cast by Liang Hu in the fight, which can be regarded as a person who is destined, in this case, Liang Hu decided that as long as Xiaoxue is willing, he will accept her as a disciple and teach some real cultivation methods.

Liang Hu originally planned to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with Xiaoxue in the town, but Xiaoxue fell ill the next day, Liang Hu knew that it was mostly because of the impact that the old Taoist priest brought to her by revealing his true face, so venting it was not a good thing for Xiaoxue, at least it would not continue to be depressed in the chest, and it would bring any aftermath in the future.

This kind of heart disease comes and goes slowly, but fortunately, there is nothing left and right, and Liang Hu stays by Xiaoxue's side to take care of her. After six or seven days of illness, Xiaoxue finally slowly recovered. At noon of the Lantern Festival, Xiaoxue made a large table of food, saying that she wanted to thank Liang Hu for taking care of her some time ago, Liang Hu suppressed the beer that Xiaoxue saluted, and said to her in a very strict tone: "Xiaoxue, I won't say much about the past, what are your plans in the future?"

"I didn't think about it. Xiaoxue's answer sounded a little decadent, but the next sentence revealed her true meaning: "I will follow you in the future, where you go, I will naturally go!"

Liang Hu asked again: "Then are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

"Okay!" Xiao Xue clapped her hands and said, "This is more justifiable for you to take care of my food and accommodation, but I have one condition!"

"It seems that this sentence should be said by me, right?" Liang Hu looked at Xiaoxue with some tears and laughter, and said to her: "Forget it, you can tell me what the conditions are first." ”

"I can apprentice, and I should listen to your orders, but I must not call you master!" Xiao Xue looked at the "Maoshan Authentic" middle hall hanging behind Liang Hu, and did not explain anything in detail.

Liang Hu immediately guessed Xiao Xue's thoughts, and he understood that Xiao Xue was unwilling to mention the old Taoist priest again, so he agreed.

Xiaoxue bent down and bowed four times under Liang Hu's guidance, Quan Zuo knelt down four times, and said, "Disciple Ling Bingxue greets my brother!"
