Chapter 2: Hunted and killed
Let's talk about Lu Xiao, after Lu Xiao left the old Taoist, he looked for an inn in this unknown small city and prepared to stay, so that he could wait for the old Taoist to come back to find him, and then leave together.
Lu Xiao searched in the city and soon found an inconspicuous inn.
Lu Xiao walked in, and after a while, a person who looked like a little second came up and greeted Lu Xiao: "Oh, guest officer, please inside, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
Lu Xiao smiled at the little second, and then said, "Little second brother, open a room for me, don't be too good, just an ordinary room." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Er said to Lu Xiao: "Okay!!Guest officer, please inside!!"
Then he felt inside: "One ordinary guest room!" After shouting, he said to Lu Xiao: "Guest officer, you come with me." Then the shopkeeper took Lu Xiao and walked upstairs.
When he got upstairs, Xiao Er took Lu Xiao to an ordinary guest room and said to Lu Xiao: "Okay, guest officer, you can live in this room." ”
Lu Xiao looked at this room, nodded and said, "Well, this room is not bad, I will live here." ”
Xiao Er heard Lu Xiao say this, so he asked Lu Xiao, "Guest officer, do you have any other orders?"
Lu Xiao replied: "Okay, it's nothing, you go out first." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Er said to Lu Xiao: "Okay, guest officer." If you need anything else, just call me and we'll do our best to help you out. If you have nothing to do, I'll go down first. ”
After Xiao Er left, Lu Xiao closed the door. Then Lu Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the storage bag that the old Taoist priest gave him before leaving, and his spiritual power penetrated into it, and he saw that the old Taoist priest left him in the storage bag, which contained a large number of jade slips, a long flute, and three ancient books.
When the long flute was taken out of the storage bag and brought to Lu Xiao's hand, suddenly Lu Xiao remembered the voice of the old Taoist priest in his mind, and said: "Xiao'er, don't be surprised first, and don't speak, this is a spiritual sense that I deliberately left on this long flute." Now I'm going to tell you something you didn't know before, but don't think too much about it and don't get excited. ”
When Lu Xiao first heard the words of the old Taoist, he couldn't help but be excited, and just wanted to shout: "Master", but when he heard what the old Taoist said later, he resisted the urge to speak and continued to listen to what the old Taoist said.
The old Taoist priest continued: "First of all, don't worry about the danger of being a teacher, although what I am doing now will make me suffer a little, it will definitely not be life-threatening. ”
Lu Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the old Taoist priest's life would not be in danger!
At this time, the old Taoist priest continued: "And then there are those jade slips, which are the comprehension and cultivation experience of the genius predecessors of the wind attribute who appeared in the sect in the past, I hope you can understand it well, or that sentence, remember to be pretentious!"
What the old Taoist priest was most worried about was that Lu Xiao was arrogant and arrogant because of his peerless talent, and no one was in his eyes, which also delayed his cultivation!
Therefore, the old Taoist priest is also reminding him at all times, so that Lu Xiao can understand the truth!
Lu Xiao did not disappoint the old Taoist, he always treats people with courtesy in dealing with people!
The old Taoist priest also understood Lu Xiao, and after reminding him a little, he continued: "There is also this pipe long flute, which was obtained by a senior of the sect in the remains of a peerless powerhouse who cultivated the wind attribute, and this pipe long flute has a characteristic, that is, the stronger the talent of the wind attribute, the greater the power of this pipe long flute." The sect master and the elders in the sect all think that this pipe flute is more suitable for you, the sect master originally wanted to wait for you to reach the Yuan Spirit realm before handing it over to you, but now I have to borrow my hand to hand it over to you in advance. ”
When Lu Xiao heard the words of the old Taoist priest, he couldn't help but look at the long flute, but he didn't see any difference between this long flute and the long flute played by those literati and in the world when they had nothing to do.
However, since the old Taoist priest said that this pipe flute has something special and is the most suitable for him, Lu Xiao did not have any contempt for this pipe flute because of this!
The voice of the old Taoist priest still sounded in Lu Xiao's mind, "The wind attribute genius predecessors in the sect who have used this pipe flute before have not fully exerted their maximum power, and now they are in your hands, I hope you can exert their greatest power." There is also a long flute equipped with a music book, which is one of the three books, which records many kinds of music scores, and you can attack, heal, cultivate, and even manipulate others by playing those songs. However, the ability to manipulate others is quite evil in the eyes of the world, and it is not recognized by the cultivation world or even the secular world, so it is better not to cultivate. ”
The old Taoist priest slowed down and continued: "As for the remaining two books, one is for you, and it is an introductory exercise, which is the most advanced of our Star Pole Sect Wind Attribute Introductory Exercises, although you have only entered the cultivation world for a month or two, you have already reached the peak realm of the Yuan from an ordinary person, and you are only one step away from being able to break through the peak realm of the Yuan Sect and reach the Yuan Master realm. Although you can feel the breeze around you every moment in your daily life, it is only caused by your strong ability to sense the power of the wind element between heaven and earth, not that you can use the wind element between heaven and earth. ”
When Lu Xiao heard the old Taoist priest say this, he couldn't help but feel a little suddenly enlightened, and at the same time he felt a little ashamed in his heart. In the past, Lu Xiao only knew that he had a strong ability to sense the wind element, so when he felt that there was a breeze around him all the time, he always thought that he was using the power of the wind element.
The old Taoist priest didn't know what Lu Xiao was thinking, and continued to say: "When you reach the realm of the Yuan Master, you can start to use the elemental power between heaven and earth to achieve preliminary communication with heaven and earth. Therefore, this introductory mind method is the best cultivation method for you to cultivate when you enter the realm of the Yuan Master. There are also two remaining books, one is "Strange Tales on the Mainland," which records the strange stories and strange things on the mainland, the customs and customs of various places on the mainland, all kinds of dangerous places, and scenic spots and rivers, as well as some miscellaneous notes! If you walk on the mainland alone, you will definitely be unable to do without such books. ”
After Lu Xiao heard the words of the old Taoist priest, he took out the three books from the storage bag, and on the covers of the three books were written "Wind Flute Song", "Wind Fight", and "Mainland Strange Conversations".
Lu Xiao opened the opening chapter of "Wind Flute Song", only to see that it read" I used the strength of the person I loved the most in my life, and finally created this ancient and modern music, but I lost the love of my life because of my favorite in a joint war, although I finally killed the enemy, but I also lost my fighting spirit, since then I am disheartened, do not want to forge ahead, all day long to borrow wine to drown sorrow, but one day, I heard that there may be a strange flower in the world can save my favorite, I went to find this flower, but this journey is extremely risky, I do not want to lose my music between heaven and earth, so this book, in order to spread to the world. "Looking further back, there's a lot of sheet music.
After opening the second book, Lu Xiao took a general look, and it was written that after entering the realm of the Yuan Master, how to communicate with heaven and earth, as well as the method of communicating with heaven and earth. Lu Xiao took a general look at it and put it aside.
Picking up the third book, Lu Xiao couldn't help but be attracted by the gonzo in it, and slowly became fascinated by it.
But the old Taoist priest's words sounded in his mind again: "Xiao'er, remember one thing, when you don't have strong strength, don't come to me." Only when you reach the realm of Emperor Yuan, you will talk about looking for me! Remember!!" After finishing speaking, the old Taoist priest's voice completely disappeared from Lu Xiao's mind.
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, Lu Xiao couldn't help but secretly decide in his heart: "Master, I will definitely reach the realm of Emperor Yuan!!! I will definitely go to you and your !!."
The voice of the old Taoist priest no longer sounded in Lu Xiao's mind, and Lu Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and discomfort.
Lu Xiao has been an orphan since he was a child, and he never knew who his parents were, and it was the old Taoist priest who adopted Lu Xiao when he was six years old, but he didn't think about letting Lu Xiao practice at that time, because in the old Taoist priest's view, Lu Xiao has always been a worldly person, and he should live a life in the world, so he has been taking care of Lu Xiao like a father in the world, so that Lu Xiao will not feel the warmth of home.
But when Lu Xiao was fourteen years old, it seemed that his talent had awakened, and the old Taoist priest suddenly discovered Lu Xiao's powerful ability to sense the wind element between heaven and earth.
So the old Taoist priest changed his original idea and decided to bring Lu Xiao into the cultivation world. But it was precisely because of the old Taoist's decision that the current situation of their master and apprentice being hunted down and killed.
For Lu Xiao, the old Taoist priest is also a master and a father, and the old Taoist priest is a very important person in Lu Xiao's life, just like his father, which makes Lu Xiao feel the warmth of his family. But when I thought that the old Taoist priest would not be able to guide his cultivation by his side in the future, and he would not be able to help him answer his doubts about cultivation, but would leave him from now on, he couldn't help but feel sad again.
At the same time, Lu Xiao faintly felt in his heart that the old Taoist seemed to be in some danger, and his current strength couldn't help him at all, so the old Taoist priest would not go to him when he didn't reach the realm of Emperor Yuan.
But Lu Xiao never thought that the old Taoist priest left because of himself, because he hoped that he could be like a young eagle, have the courage to spread his wings, fly to the wide sky, and soar into the sky from then on.
However, when Lu Xiao faced this fact that had become an established fact, he didn't dwell on anything in his heart, but secretly swore in his heart that he must cultivate to the realm of Emperor Yuan!
After all, his master will not lie to himself, he let himself reach the realm of Emperor Yuan and then go to him, naturally he has his reason, what he has to do now is to cultivate hard and reach the realm of Emperor Yuan, I believe that with his cultivation talent, maybe he can go to the old Taoist in a few years, after all, strength is everything in this elemental continent!!
Lu Xiao casually swept through those jade slips, and found that all the records of these jade slips were the experience of breaking through the realm of the Yuan Master, how to integrate into heaven and earth after reaching the realm of the Yuan Master, and making full use of the power of the elements between heaven and earth, as well as the experience of cultivation in the realm after the realm of other Yuan Masters. Although these are a great spiritual wealth for Lu Xiao, they are of little use to Lu Xiao now.
So Lu Xiao put the things out of the storage bag back into the storage bag one by one.
Then Lu Xiao calmed down, and looked outside, the sky had already darkened, and Lu Xiao prepared and prepared to rest. He planned to leave here tomorrow, because the old Taoist priest had already determined that he would not come back, so it was better to leave early, so as not to be discovered by those people again, and then the gains would outweigh the losses.
There was nothing to do all night, and Lu Xiao came to the inn hall early the next morning to settle the room payment for yesterday's night.
Then Lu Xiao walked out of the inn, and spent half an hour all the way to the city gate.
The second and fourth who guarded the city had a deep memory of the old and young man they met yesterday, but today they saw Lu Xiao leaving the city alone, and they couldn't help whispering there, "This old man and young man must have been caught when they were cheating! The old one definitely didn't escape, only this little one ran out!!"
After finishing speaking, he sighed and sighed: "Alas, it's not easy to do anything in this world now." Anyone like them can be caught in a small town like this!"
When Lu Xiao heard the words of the two of them, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't care about anything. Because Lu Xiao had been taught by the old Taoist priest to know that he was no longer a person of the same world as them, there was no need for him to deal with their baseless remarks with worldly people like them.
Lu Xiao gradually moved away from this unknown small city, leaving the people in the small city with a backdrop of the dust.
Lu Xiao walked aimlessly in the wilderness, not knowing where to go. In the past, it was the old Taoist priest who led him, so he didn't think about how to walk in the outside world. Now that the old Taoist priest has left him, he can no longer think about surviving alone outside. But he didn't know what to do, so he was now walking aimlessly alone in the wilderness.
Lu Xiao wanted to cultivate, but he didn't know what to do when he had reached the peak of the Yuan Master, the refining of the physical body had reached the peak, and now he was about to break through with the perception of heaven and earth, but the jade slips left behind could only be used after reaching the Yuan Master realm, and they would not play a role in the current Lu Xiao.
At the beginning, the sect originally planned to wait until Lu Xiao reached the realm of Yuan Shi and could use the power of the wind between heaven and earth before handing it over to him, but in the end, it was not successfully handed over to him because of the jealousy of others. Therefore, in the storage bag, there will naturally be no experience of the previous comprehension and cultivation of the Yuan Master realm. Although Lu Xiao is talented, for him now, there is a lack of an opportunity for him to make a breakthrough.
However, just when Lu Xiao was wandering aimlessly, he suddenly felt a trace of abnormality in the wind, as if someone was hiding in the wind, wanting to give Lu Xiao a fatal blow at the right time.
Lu Xiao felt this abnormal fluctuation, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "This person hidden in the shadows has at least reached the Yuanshi realm, although he is the peak realm of the Yuanshi, but when facing the Yuanshi realm, it is like a baby facing the big man, the Yuanshi realm can already make initial use of the elements of heaven and earth, if he goes head-to-head with him, there will definitely be no chance of winning." But now Lu Xiao clearly felt that the person hiding in the shadows obviously had no intention of making a move. ”
So Lu Xiao continued to pretend to walk aimlessly, but in fact, he distanced himself from the place where he felt dangerous. One step at a time, slowly moving, when Lu Xiao felt that the person hidden in the air seemed to feel out of control of Lu Xiao's action of leaving step by step, and was about to continue to keep up with Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao suddenly accelerated his speed and rushed into the distance.
Lu Xiao relied on his strong affinity for the wind element between heaven and earth, and ran forward at a fast speed. And that person seemed to be like a cat and mouse, hanging behind Lu Xiao, and he was not in a hurry to make a move.
Lu Xiao didn't have time to think about what the man thought, he just ran fast with all his heart, and with the help of the power of the wind, the speed had reached the limit, but the man kept hanging behind, as if he was playing Lu Xiao.
Slowly, Lu Xiao gradually felt that his physical strength was exhausted, and his speed gradually slowed down, while the person behind him was still slowly hanging behind. Until Lu Xiao's physical strength was exhausted, Lu Xiao was also heartbroken, and said secretly:
"Manly man, dignity is trampled on like this! It's not a manly man's doing!!"
The man saw Lu Xiao stop, and also stopped, seeing that Lu Xiao's physical strength was exhausted, so he slowly showed his figure, and under the background of a black robe, a young and gloomy face came into Lu Xiao's eyes.
