Chapter 1: Early Winter

"South of the West Sea, Quicksand Coast, After the Red Water, Before the Black Water."

In the reckless mountains, countless plants and trees reign, and in the early winter, birds and beasts also disappear without a trace, hiding in various places beyond the sight.

This silence lasted for a long time, and it was not until the arrival of two figures, one large and one small, in the distance, that this long silence was broken.

The two of them talked and laughed, the short one was clearly a child of seven or eight years old, but he was not afraid of the inconvenience of walking in the deep mountains and old forests, his red face was full of excitement, and he did not see the slightest tiredness, and the sticky man just laughed happily.

After a while, the boy spoke:

"Daddy, winter is coming, the little finches and beasts have already hidden, what are we going to play in the mountains?"

"You know how to play. ”

The handsome man smiled, took the child's hand and continued:

"We came to the mountain this time at the request of your master, and your master asked the priest to inform me that it was the white-clothed swordsman who came to visit us yesterday. ”

"Master, is it Daddy, your master? Why have I never seen him, Daddy is so powerful, Daddy's master must be even more powerful!"

The child's eyes were bubbling with little stars, obviously looking forward to it.

"You little guy, your father and I don't have any skills, the most useless of the master's apprentices is me, how can I compare with the master. ”

Speaking of this, the man sighed a little embarrassed, he hadn't seen his master for many years, and he was a little excited in his heart, but he didn't know how his old man's health was.

A child is a child, and the child shifted his attention in a blink of an eye, and slowly thought about what kind of person this master he had never met, and whether he would give him a gift, just like the brother of the father who came to visit yesterday.

The boy followed his father while he was thinking,

Suddenly, the boy raised his head, furrowed his thin eyebrows, and looked ahead with big eyes and a little puzzlement, but seeing that he looked at the man who was still in a good mood with some timidity, he spoke:

"Daddy Me"

"What's wrong, tired?" the handsome man in a white shirt smiled unconsciously as he looked at his child's cramped appearance.

The child's other hand pinched the hem of his garment, and as if he had mustered some courage, he suddenly pointed to an inconspicuous bush not far away.

"Daddy, there's someone, two. ”

As soon as these words fell, the whistling wind sounded immediately, and at this moment it seemed that the world was quiet, only the whistling wind and his own breathing and heartbeat.

The man in the white shirt immediately raised his vigilance, and his heart was shocked.

The white-shirted automatic, surging energy instantly covered the man's body, and the man was not in a hurry to make a move, he was ready, and said to the grass:

"I don't know where my friend is? What advice does Zhang Du have for me? Why are you afraid to see each other?"

Two lines of purple smoke drifted faintly from the grass, and a sneer seemed to come from the void, and it was hard to find.

"Crossing the water step Zhang? It is rumored that your footwork is superb, and you can borrow strength from the void to cross the water like flat ground? ”

The two lines of purple smoke quickly condensed, turning into two tall figures shrouded in black robes.

Zhang Du was just about to reply, when the ridicule suddenly rose high, and a faint wave of air swept by, blowing the grass and trees, and bowing his head.

And that Zhang Du picked up his young son, snorted and stopped talking.

Both sides were speechless for a moment, until a deep voice rang out from another man in black.

"Zhang Du, we're not here for you. If you listen to us, you will be safe. ”

Zhang Du was silent, just hugged the child in his arms, his momentum was slowly increasing, like a tiger with strength, the child was also shocked by this sudden change in atmosphere, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.

The black-robed man with a deep voice seemed to squint his eyes, and the entire air seemed to freeze.

"Zhang Du, I know what you're thinking, but this time we're prepared, so you don't have to pretend to be fighting for your life and wait for your life. ”

Zhang Du was seen through his thoughts, his heartbeat accelerated a lot, and the child in his arms didn't dare to make a sound, just hugged Zhang Du tightly.

The sneering man snorted impatiently, and the shrill voice seemed to come from all directions, and the figure turned into a phantom and ran towards Zhang Du, a few flickers, and slowly disappeared without a trace. "My comrades-in-arms always remind me to be careful that your speed is extremely fast, even if I shoot with all my strength, you can also escape with the child, hum, today my dead old ghost will try it!"

Zhang Du had been prepared for a long time, and with the help of his feet, he disappeared without any fancy in an instant.

All of a sudden, the whole open field of grass seemed to be left with only a man in black standing quietly.

There was a slight popping sound in the air, and between the slightest flash of light, leaves and dead branches were tossed to pieces by the whirlwind.

"This Zhang Du's light body exercise has actually reached the point of entering the holy state, this kind of realm, it is probably difficult to find a hundred people among the tens of billions of people in the entire Yun Dynasty, although he has made sufficient preparations, but he still underestimates Zhang Du, and the footwork cultivation is simply incredible. Although the old ghost's phantom step has made a breakthrough recently, in comparison, Zhang Du is still a lot more powerful, but although his skills are not high, he has practiced the exercises deeply, has a deep foundation, and is difficult to shake, otherwise he is also a good candidate. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man who was constantly laughing suddenly appeared, and in the middle of the howl of the wind, he was kicked hard and smashed into the grass, not knowing whether he lived or died, leaving only a string of blood marks.

"I thought that the person who dared to come all the way to arrest me would have what ability he would have, you take him and leave quickly, and I will spare your life. ”

Zhang Du reappeared in the same place, panting, not embarrassed, but there was an extra short sword in his right hand, his child was still holding him, trembling slightly, the child had a few more strips of cloth tightly on his body, and he didn't know when Zhang Du did it.

The man with a deep voice was not angry, he clapped his hands and said, "Niansheng sword? This is a good thing, if I didn't have this sword, my old ghost friend wouldn't lie on the ground so quickly, right?" Also, you said both wrong. First, we're not here for you, and second..."

"I believe that it is not us who should be spared. When the man had finished speaking, he smiled innocently and disappeared without warning.

Zhang Du's heart was shocked, he frowned, held the short sword in his hand, and his eyes showed a hint of cowardice, but he still looked at the bleak scenery in front of him, and was not ready to escape, because he couldn't escape with his child, and he had only the choice of fighting against the water.

Mingjian Niansheng seemed to feel the rare firmness of his master, and became more and more restrained and cold, and one more glance would make people shudder.
