Volume 1: The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 12: Parting

The late autumn is cold and windy, but the warmth is still around the campfire, the dead branches are burning, and the fat from the roast lamb is constantly dripping, splashing a little spark.

"Xu Xiaogui, after eating this meal, you will go back to the sect with this seat to practice, if you have anything to explain to Liu Xiaozi, just say it quickly" The middle-aged man wiped his mouth indiscriminately after eating, and his voice was like a bell, looking at Xu Yan.

When Xu Yan heard this, he still had a hippie smile on his face, only a trace of reluctance flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he smiled at Liu Chen

"There's nothing to say, you work hard, although we brothers will no longer practice together for a period of time in the future, don't forget to cultivate hard. When we see each other again in the future, our brothers will join forces and continue to accomplish the goal of laughing at the entire cultivation realm! ”

"Definitely! I hope that the day of goodbye, you and I have achieved something, don't forget our agreement: build the road, and accompany each other, live and die together, alone! ”

Liu Chen's face also pretended to be relaxed, and he bowed his hand to Xu Yan, and there was a hint of reluctance in his smiling eyes. After all, living together for a few years, it is a lifelong friendship, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is better than brothers.

"Uncle, it was Liu Chen who led me into the cultivation world and gave me a lot of help. Our brothers are about to separate, don't you give Liu Chen some magic treasures, don't you mean it? ”

Xu Yan couldn't stand this sensational moment the most, so he casually turned his head to the big man with inch hair, his eyes rolled wildly, he grinned, and asked with a shy face.

The middle-aged man glared at him and said, "Stinky boy, don't scream, call the master." Liu Xiaozi discovered your talent, and I naturally prepared some good things for Liu Xiaozi. ”

Turning his head to look at Liu Chen, the middle-aged man did not have the arrogance of a high-ranking monk, and his face was full of smiles.

"After all, your cultivation is low, and the high-level magic weapon rune seal is useless to you for the time being, and if you give it to you, it will only increase the disaster of killing yourself. This Black Crow Daoist's storage bag is for you, but I will take the contents and deliver them to the sect. ”

Dahan picked up the storage bag in front of him, and a stream of red aura poured out of his palm, wrapping around the storage bag like silk threads.

There was a black glow on the bag to fight against the red silk, but after all, after losing the owner, the spiritual power on the storage bag was like a rootless ping, and a few breaths were quickly disintegrated by the red silk.

Red Silk successfully got into the storage bag, and after a while, Dahan opened his eyes, looked disdainful, and muttered, "There are no good things, most of the scattered cultivators are really poor ghosts." ”

He casually stroked the jade wrench on his finger, red light flowed on it, and pressed the jade wrench finger against the storage bag, a ray of light burst out, and disappeared in an instant.

Immediately afterward, he withdrew the red silk wrapped around the storage bag, and with a big hand, the storage bag seemed to become an ordinary small sachet.

Just as he was about to throw it to Liu Chen, he paused, as if he had thought of something, and then docked the jade wrench finger with the storage bag, and the red light flashed. After doing all this, he threw it to Liu Chen.

"Boy Liu, this seat has erased the spirit mark from this storage bag, and now this is yours. However, with your current cultivation, you can't leave your aura from your body, and you can't leave your mark on this storage bag, so naturally you can't open it. ”

"But you don't have to be in a hurry, you can leave a mark on it when you step into the forging realm. This seat has put some gadgets in it, which are not very valuable, as a small gift from the elders to you, don't dislike it. The middle-aged man smiled heartily

Liu Chen's eyes flashed with surprise, and he hurriedly bowed his hand to the juniors, and thanked him, "Thank you seniors for the gift, the great grace is unforgettable!" ”

"Eh, it doesn't have to be like this, I want to thank you for finding a little ghost who is so talented in the way of the knife in the vast sea of people, hahaha"

The middle-aged man waved his hand, full of care, stood up, patted the dust on his body, and smiled at Liu Chen. Turning his head to look at Xu Yan who was still gnawing on the leg of mutton, he kicked it and scolded with a smile.

"Eat, ready to go, this seat still has important matters, can't be delayed here for too long."

Xu Yanyan's body stiffened slightly, and returned to normal in an instant. After a few more bites of lamb leg meat, he stood up, wiped his mouth, looked at Liu Chen, no longer had a hippie smile like usual, and bowed to him.

"Precious!"

"Precious!"

Liu Chen also returned the salute and faced Xu Yan squarely.

Dahan didn't say anything more, with a wave of his hand, a Tang knife was suspended in the air, this is not an ordinary soldier, Liu Chen looked at his qi and understood that this must be an extraordinary magic weapon.

The big man made a seal with one hand, and the Tang knife instantly became several times larger, and it could accommodate two people before stopping. The Tang knife descended in height, and the big man grabbed Xu Yan's collar and flew to the blade.

"Liu boy, I almost forgot, the name of the sect where this seat is located is Badao Mountain, in the middle of Yunzhou, if there is any trouble in the future, just come to this seat for help."

"Liu Chen, take care!" Xu Yan's voice went from near to far, and Tang Dao turned into a streamer and flew into the distance.

"It's a long time coming!"

Liu Chen watched Tang Dao gradually disappear from sight, drumming up the aura around him, and stood in the direction of departure, with a long roar.

……

The town at the foot of Hupo Mountain has been less lively in the past two months, and the disappearance of hiking hunters has made the residents here panic.

Liu Chen carried a big basket on his back and two bags of hemp, and walked into the town with a sway. Rao is based on his cultivation, bearing such a weight, walking all the way back to the town from the main peak of Hupo Mountain, it is really unbearable.

Looking at the small town in front of him, Liu Chen smiled from the bottom of his heart. Anyone who has spent nearly a month in the barren mountains and forests will be so relaxed and happy when they return to the town full of smoke and fire.

Late autumn is desolate and pedestrians are scarce. Walking on the main road of the town, which was not long, Liu Chen recovered his calm from the joy, and he was a little suspicious in his heart.

Although the weather is cold and the flow of people is decreasing, this time it is much less than the fireworks displayed in the town last time.

On a main road, only three or two shops are scattered open, and occasionally I meet a few pedestrians, looking at Liu Chen carrying large bags of things, pointing curiously.

Liu Chen walked for a while before he found a shop that dealt with wild things and miscellaneous things. You know, the most of these shops in this town are these shops, but now most of them have closed their doors.

"Anyone, shopkeeper?"

Pushing open the half-hidden door of the store, Liu Chen glanced around, but found no one, so he had to shout a few times towards the back room.

"Hey, someone, someone, I'm sorry, this stove is too hot, it's warm, old man, I took a nap."

There was no movement in the back room, but from behind the half-height counter sat a sleepy-eyed and yawning old man. tremblingly got out of the rocking chair, walked to Liu Chen, and laughed across the counter.

"It's okay, I have some mountain goods to deal with, you can help me count them, the price is negotiable." Liu Chen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

But when the old man heard this, he instantly sobered up, his eyes widened, he looked at Liu Chen, and said with a shocked expression.

"Little brother, don't be kidding, this Tiger Mountain has been flooded with hunters to hunt in the mountains since two months ago, and no one dared to enter a month ago, where did you get the mountain goods?"

"It's no wonder I see that the town is more than half less crowded than usual, and most of the shops are closed." Liu Chen's doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared for the most part.

The old man nodded, sighed, and said, "Who said no, it looks like it's about to come to the end of the year, and this time in previous years was a good time for autumn hunting, and the villagers were running around to save some extra money for the New Year." ”

"And this year, most of them stayed at home and had nowhere to go. There is no money, naturally there is no transaction, and our kind of store lives on Orion, and there is no business for most of the month, and most of the shops are closed. ”

When Liu Chen heard this, the cause and effect were clear. This must be the chaos caused by the Black Crow Daoist. He had escaped capture two months earlier and had come here.

Caught a lot of hunters who were hunting in the mountains, and tried to take them, but all failed, as evidenced by the pile of dry bones in the cave.

A month ago, no Orion dared to enter the mountain again, he and Xu Yan were estimated to be the last team, if Xu Yan was not saved by his mysterious wooden card, the two of them probably would not have escaped the same fate as those Orions.

Fortunately, good and evil are rewarded, and this crow Taoist probably wouldn't have guessed that he would be planted in the hands of two young men with shallow cultivation until he died. The soul is destroyed, and it can be regarded as comforting the spirits of these hunters in the sky.

You must know that most of the Orions are in the prime of life, and they are the pillars of the family, and this Black Crow Daoist has destroyed one after another happy families, and he has died innocently.

"Little brother, you are really mountain goods, where did you get them?" The old shopkeeper walked out of the counter tremblingly, and roughly looked through the bulging sacks and back baskets of the bottoms, interrupting Liu Chen's thoughts.

"Naturally, I can't take a vacation, I went to the mountains for a month to hunt, I didn't encounter anything strange, and I gained a lot. I didn't see the missing hunters either, so I guess something happened to me. ”

"It's safe in Hupo Mountain now, those tragedies may be the evil done by the spirits and monsters, I guess I have been accepted by the immortal master of the Lingxi faction when I go."

Liu Chen's face did not change and told a small lie. But it is true that Hupo Mountain should be very safe now, after all, most of the demon beasts and spirits have either been sucked by the Black Crow Dao people, or they have become Liu Chen's prey.

Without further ado, the old shopkeeper began to count the mountain goods provided by Liu Chen. I don't know if I don't know if it's counted, and when I count it, the shopkeeper can't close his mouth in surprise.

The mountain goods stored in Liuchen's bag are usually placed, and any one of them is a rare boutique. In such a bleak business situation, it is even more precious.

The bag is full of precious furs, teeth and claws of some fierce beasts, rare herbs, and strange jade. Let the shopkeeper be amazed again and again, and boldly purchase the required mountain goods.

Emptied the cash cabinet of this store and was sent off by the shopkeeper with a smiling face, Liu Chen went to several treasure shops that opened one after another, and only then did he sell out most of the mountain goods in his hand.

In the end, Liu Chen was left with a bulging backpack. This bag is full of spirit grass, the fur minions of demon beasts, and even the treasures of the cultivation world such as Neidan.

No one in this town could buy this kind of cultivation resources, so Liu Chen dispelled the idea of trading these here, and planned to return to Guangping City to find a large shop to make another transaction.

Liu Chen walked on the streets of the town, checked the bulging money bag tied around his waist, his heart was full of joy, and now he is a small person with a family.

"Have fun in time and eat something good!" Walking to the most luxurious and tallest restaurant in the town, Liu Chen stepped into it with excitement.
