Chapter 4: Red Eye
From the grass hut to the south, through the ten miles of jungle, the terrain will be undulating, at first it is a few mountain packs, and then it becomes more and more precipitous, and when you look up, you can see that there are thousands of peaks inserted into the sky.

Yun Yisui pointed to the highest mountain in the distance and asked, "Master, is that Jiding Peak?"
Zhao Liren raised his eyes, nodded and said, "Exactly, your ancestors used to practice at the top of the peak, but now we can only look at the scenery and think about it in vain." ”
"You said that Jiding Peak is four hundred miles away from here, why don't I think it looks like it? ”
"When you look closer, you will know when you walk, and you will say that this inconspicuous hill in front of you, turn over it, and it will be dark. Zhao Liren knew that the apprentice had never been far away, so he patiently explained.
Yun Yisui carried a large bamboo cage on his back and wore a hat, and slowly walked along the wild path to the mountain. When he first came to the wilderness, he was curious about everything. On the day of midsummer, the layers of forests are stacked and green, full of vitality, the hugging wood, you can see it with your eyes, the bare mountain rocks, the rugged, and the stream, the sound is like a quiet piano, drink a sip, refresh people's spleen and lungs. The young man was extremely cheerful, dancing happily, infected with six petals, and the flower demon also swayed from side to side with the breeze blowing.
"Master, you said in the morning that you can find treasures in this desolate land in the south, but is it true?"
"Praise you for being smart, why is this not bright?" the old man said, "Think about it, since ancient times, the southern flood was originally a blessed land for cultivating immortals, in addition to Jiding Peak, there are several mountains, all of which are occupied by sects, extracting the essence of heaven and earth, only in recent years, there has been a big disturbance of demons, and there are no traces of people." Take this sect as an example, when the goblins are troubled, except for a few people who escape, most of the master disciples are desperately defending, and in the end, the cheats, magic weapons, blades, pills, and collected utensils, money, are all left on the mountain, those monsters, at most, will only eat some pills, and the rest do not know anything, how can there be no treasures? It's just that the descendants want to take it back, and it is difficult. ”
"Oh, I see. The boy nodded, feeling that what the master said made sense.
Zhao Liren's expression darkened, and he sighed: "It's a pity that my cultivation at that time was too low to contribute to my own sect, so I had to follow a group of low-level disciples and escape." ”
"Don't blame yourself, then it's no wonder you, master, do you remember the way to escape? Go home and draw a map for me, and when I have achieved the exercises, I will come to hunt for treasures." ”
The old man was taken aback and said: "Nonsense, you think lightly, I'm not telling you, even if you are a great heavenly master in the Jindan period, you can't reach Jiding Peak, your little cultivation, practice for a lifetime, you will also be sent to death." Don't do this in the future, it's better to live an ordinary life and live a few more years. ”
"On weekdays, I may not have the guts, but after drinking the yellow soup you poured out, my heart will be publicized, and I feel that I can't live forever, maybe my mind is hot, and I will come to subdue demons and explore the secrets, so you should persuade me to eat less in the future, otherwise something big will happen, and no one will give you a companion for the elderly. Yun Yisui's head is the Tao.
Zhao Liren smiled: "You have made a big detour, you just don't want to eat and drink, it's good, if you don't eat, you won't eat, I don't dare to persuade in the future, you yourself don't want to be a good man, no wonder others." ”
An old man and a young man walked for a few hours, the sky gradually darkened, the west was full of red clouds, reflecting the grass and trees, there was a touch of golden red, and the scenery was beautiful.
Yun Yi gathered the single clothes on his body, feeling a little chilly, when he just left the house, he only felt sweaty, and the master did not let him wear short-sleeved shorts, which would be realized that it was the night wind cold. The more I walked, the more I felt, a chill of the forest, straight to the tip of the heart, it seems that it is not caused by the night cooling, but some strange feelings.
"Master, don't you feel cold, why is there a strange evil aura in my heart?" asked the young man.
"You haven't seen a monster yet, so you're scared?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm hairy. ”
"Hair is afraid, this place where monsters accumulate, the yin qi is dignified, the deeper you go, the more uncomfortable you feel, but you have also practiced the introductory exercises for a few years, and you have absorbed a little yang yuan between heaven and earth, if not, I will not take you here, you can try it, make a move with the wind, let the yang energy in the body agitate, and you will feel much better." Zhao Liren began to induce his apprentice to mobilize the Yang Yuan in his body to accelerate his progress.
Yun Yi raised his arms half-bent, turned his palms outward, and hooked back to his chest, back and forth a few times, a hot current in his lower abdomen was stirred, slowly spreading all over his body, and he suddenly didn't feel cold.
"It worked. The boy described his feelings.
"Yes, yes, the talent is better than the master, if you are more diligent, you will soon be able to enter the second realm. Zhao Liren was very pleased, praised a few words, and reminded, "After this mountain bag, monsters may appear, especially after the time, their activities will be more frequent, you have to be careful, when you see monsters, don't shout, alarm more spirits, then it's troublesome." ”
Yun Yisui clenched his fists and said: "Master don't worry, I just bite my lip and don't make a sound, you just catch demons, don't worry." ”
Zhao Liren took the apprentice, turned over the mountain bag, sat down to rest in a flat place in the mountain col, the old man took out the vegetable cake in his pocket, handed it to Yun Yisui, and persuaded him to eat, it is best to sleep.
Yun Yisui also carried a small gourd with stream water in it, so he ate something, but when he closed his eyes, he couldn't sleep.
The mountain wind gradually became fierce, through the stones, making a whining sound, like a woman whimpering and crying, for a long time, the young man heard it, and imagined many scenes, all related to ghosts, how could there be a trace of stability in his heart, but he forced his composure, did not say a word, pretended to be nothing.
Zhao Liren is naturally leisurely, in his life, most of the time, are spent in the mountains, demons and monsters, but also see a lot, now dying, no wave, just see the appearance of the young man, feel pity, recall when he was a child, a little emotional, break the lid of the gourd, drink a few sips of rice wine.
The old man didn't dare to eat too much, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to deal with the little demon if he was drunk, although the first-order monsters were not powerful, most of them could only show their teeth and claws, and they didn't have any real skills, but if they weren't careful, it wouldn't be worth it. Just as he was closing the lid, he heard a terrible scream, like a cat but not a cat, so it was not terrifying.
Yun Yisui suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the source of the sound, and saw a black shadow slowly moving on the tree, and among the black shadows, there were two red lights, which were particularly obvious in the night.
The six petals were also afraid, and all the petals were put away, shrunk into a small ball, and lay on the ground without moving.
When the young man saw the master, he gently pulled out the iron sword on his back, pinched a sword trick in his fingers, and said easily: "Heh, it's a cat demon, red-eyed." ”
