The scorching sun is in the sky, the sun is mercilessly scorching the earth, there are almost no people on the street, and occasionally one or two sweaty men hurriedly walk by, as if they want to drive some wind by walking quickly, so that they can become cooler and more comfortable.

At the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city were listlessly guarding the city gate, and their armor was also taken off from their bodies and put aside.

One of the soldiers said to the other soldier: "Fourth, on such a hot day, even a mosquito will not wander outside, how can you see people! Just let us guard the city gate here, the city lord will really torture people!!" When the other soldier heard this, he also complained, "Yes, yes! How can it be ...... on such a hot day."

When the soldier said this, he suddenly stopped and shouted to the other soldier: "Second one, second one, look, look, look, someone's coming!!"

The second child thought that the fourth child was lying to him at first, so he said listlessly: "Fourth child, you know nonsense, where can there be people on such a hot day!" But his eyes inadvertently followed the direction of the fourth child's finger.

Suddenly, the second brother showed his fierce side as a soldier, and a carp stood up and shouted to the fourth child: "Fourth, quick!!!! someone is coming!Ready!!"

The fourth child glanced at the second child with great contempt and said, "I saw it first, what are you shouting!!I don't need you to shout, I know!!"

I saw two figures appear in the distance, one was an old Taoist priest wearing a gray Taoist robe, and the other was a fourteen or five-year-old boy wearing a linen robe.

The reason the soldier was excited was because of these two men. Because in the past, this kind of dressed person was generally the kind of charlatan who claimed to be a fairy, relying on some tricks and claiming to be a fairy to fool others and cheat money.

And this kind of person generally cheats in order to be able to enter the city smoothly, and will always give these guards some "entrance fees" when they enter the city gate, so as not to be able to run out smoothly without being stopped when they escape from the east window incident in the future.

After all, there is always a risk in doing what they do, as the saying goes: "If you walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet." So this kind of person will not be stingy with this money, and it is worth spending some money to buy a way out. Therefore, the most happy thing for those soldiers defending the city is to be able to meet some such people while defending the city, and blackmail them well, so as to increase some spare income.

I saw the old Taoist priest and the young man walking towards the city gate, the expressions of the second and fourth children instantly changed from excitement to seriousness, tidied up their clothes, and stood straight at the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the old Taoist priest and the young man in sackcloth.

It's just that they didn't wear the armor that they should wear when defending the city, and they looked a little nondescript.

However, this did not seem to affect them from playing prestige in front of the old Taoist priest and the young man.

When the old Taoist priest and the young man came to the city gate, the second and fourth reached out at the same time to stop the old Taoist priest and the young man, and shouted at them: "What people!? What are you going to do!?"

At the same time, both of them felt a cool feeling, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts, "It seems that this business has come, and even the weather doesn't feel so hot!"

I saw that the old Taoist priest stepped forward and replied: "Official, I am a Taoist priest who travels around, and I happened to pass by Guicheng today, and I want to enter the city to find an inn to stay, stay for a few days, and rest." I also hope that the official can be accommodating and let us in. ”

After hearing this, the second and fourth children said to the old Taoist: "Oh, it turned out to be an old Taoist, so who is this young man?"

The old Taoist priest said: "Oh, official, this is my apprentice of the old Taoist, Lu Xiao, he follows me to travel all over the world. After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to the second and fourth children and handed over a bag of bulging things, and said to the second and fourth children: "On this hot day, it is not easy for the two officials to defend the city here, take this money to buy some wine to quench your thirst, don't be tired." ”

The second and fourth children took the bag of money handed over by the old Taoist priest, and said in a calm tone: "Yes, on this hot day, it is not easy for anyone, and you don't look like the kind of person who is a traitor." On such a hot day, you should hurry into the city and find an inn to stay. ”

When the old Taoist priest heard that the two city guards had let him go, he randomly turned his head to the young man and said, "Xiao'er, let's go." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the city without looking back, and Lu Xiao hurriedly chased after him.

Just after Lu Xiao left, the two second and fourth children guarding the city felt a burst of unbearable heat, which seemed to be even hotter than just now.

Lu Xiao caught up with the old Taoist priest and asked: "Master, those two people just now are obviously a martial artist, and they are not as powerful as you, why do you still want to do that when you enter the city, and give them money?" After finishing speaking, Lu Xiao looked at the old Taoist priest with a slightly angry expression and a trace of puzzlement.

The old Taoist priest heard Lu Xiao's question, and said to Lu Xiao: "Xiao'er, we are now in the world, we should follow the rules of the world, just like the two just now, what they want to have is just the yellow and white things of the world." And just like us cultivators, the last thing we care about is these worldly yellow and white things, so just let it be, and you don't need to care too much. ”

The old Taoist priest looked at Lu Xiao's still somewhat puzzled eyes, paused, and continued: "In the past, when we entered a city, we were always invited by others, and we never encountered this kind of thing, so it is not surprising that you have such a reaction when you encounter it for the first time, but in the future, you don't need to care too much about these things, and even the yellow and white things of the world, just let it be!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Yes, master, the apprentice knows." ”

Afterwards, the old Taoist priest said to Lu Xiao: "Xiao'er, the reason why we came to this world this time and couldn't return to the cultivation world is because of your strong sensing ability to the wind element, which makes others feel threatened, and wants to strangle your genius in the cradle. Although I rescued you from the sect, there is no way to return to the sect, but you don't have any resentment against the sect, because the person who is jealous of your talent, even the sect can't offend, and the sect has to sacrifice you in order to keep the foundation of the sect, even if it wants to help you. And you are the genius of the sect, and you are my apprentice, so I rescued you, and I hope that you can help the sect in the future, and there will be no regrets if the teacher dies at that time. ”

When Lu Xiao heard the old Taoist's teachings, a trace of anger and fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he said to the old Taoist priest randomly and respectfully: "Master, I know who harmed me, and I won't have any resentment in the sect, I will take it back sooner or later if it belongs to me, and I will let him get the corresponding retribution for the person who harmed me!!"

After listening to Lu Xiao's words, the old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Well, it's good that you can be clear." But I also hope that you will not be blinded by hatred in the future, and that you will be able to distinguish clearly which is more important than the other, so as not to delay your cultivation. You are a once-in-a-century genius, with your inductive affinity for the wind element between heaven and earth, if you practice hard in the future, you will definitely step on the peak of heaven and earth, and if you want to make the person who harmed you pay, no one can stop you! Therefore, the most important thing for you now is to practice hard, and then think about revenge. ”

Lu Xiao replied respectfully, "Yes, master." ”

The old Taoist priest nodded with satisfaction, then flipped his hand, and a small bag appeared in his hand.

Then he said to Lu Xiao: "Xiao'er, you have also been in the cultivation world for a while, although you have not started to practice, but you also have a certain understanding of the cultivation world, I think you also recognize the things in my hand, this is the storage bag, there is a self-contained space in it, you can put things that you can't use for the time being, basically every cultivator will wear one to reduce their burden." Because you haven't been in the cultivation world for a long time, you haven't been able to own this storage bag yet. Originally, the sect was going to give you one when you started practicing. But before he could give it to you, you left the sect because of such a thing. ”

Saying this, the old Taoist priest sighed again, and then continued: "But the sect master also sighed about your talent, so just the day before I rescued you, he found me and handed over the storage bag that was originally going to be given to you in advance, so that I could hand it over to you after I left with you." However, I think that you are vulnerable to danger if you carry a storage bag before you officially start practicing, so I will hand it over to you when you start practicing, according to the original intention of the sect. ”

When Lu Xiao heard the words of the old Taoist, he felt a little uneasy in his heart!

Sure enough, the old Taoist priest didn't seem to notice the change in Lu Xiao's expression.

Then he said: " But now I'm going to leave to do some things, maybe I'll come back soon, maybe I'll never come back, so I'm going to hand over this storage bag to you now, there are some cultivation resources in the storage bag for you to use, in addition, there are also some wind attribute genius cultivation experiences that appeared in the sect before, although their talents may not be comparable to you, but after all, they are predecessors who have cultivated for many years, and their cultivation experience is still very helpful to you, you must not be pretentious and don't know how to learn from the experience of your predecessors, if you are like this, even if you are talented, you will take a lot of detours in your cultivation。 Also, if I don't come back within three days, you should leave the city quickly!!Don't stay here!Remember!Remember!!"

When Lu Xiao heard the old Taoist priest say this, he couldn't help but feel surprised and frightened in his heart! He said to the old Taoist priest: "Master, what do you mean by this, what are you going to do? Don't you care about Xiao'er? Xiao'er still knows little about cultivation, and how can I start practicing without you as my guide?"

The old Taoist priest showed a comforting smile to Lu Xiao, and then the voice of the old Taoist priest suddenly sounded in Lu Xiao's mind: "Xiao'er, you don't have to worry too much, although this thing I am doing is a little dangerous, but after all, there will not be too much danger to my life, so you hurry up and leave here now, find an inn to stay for a few nights, wait for me for three days, and then see if I can come back, and then make plans." If I don't come back after three days, you don't have to look for me, get out of here. ”

After saying this, the old Taoist priest said: "Okay, Xiao'er, don't worry, you can leave here first." ”

Lu Xiao couldn't help but cry out a little sadly: "Master.........!!, you .................."

At this time, the old Taoist priest suddenly spoke: "Okay!Xiao'er, don't say any more, get out of here quickly!!"

Lu Xiao wanted to say something more, but when he saw the old Taoist's stern eyes, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he said to the old Taoist: "Master, you must come back!!"

The old Taoist priest made a comforting smile to Lu Xiao again, and then watched Lu Xiao leave in reluctance, and said to the sky: "Okay, senior brother, come out." ”

Immediately afterwards, the figure of an old man appeared in the sky, dressed in a snow-white robe, although he looked old, but he invisibly revealed the momentum of a superior person.

I saw the old man in the sky walking step by step from the void, and he arrived beside the old Taoist priest in an instant.

Fortunately, in this hot day, there are very few pedestrians on the road, otherwise they will definitely be regarded as gods by others. But the old Taoist priest knew very well in his heart that a person who could reach the realm of flying in the air in the cultivation world was undoubtedly a very powerful existence, at least to reach the realm of Yuanzong.

On the entire continent, the realm is divided into the ten realms of Yuanzhi, Yuanshi, Yuanling, Yuanwang, Yuanzong, Yuanhuang, Yuandi, Yuansheng, Yuanzun, and Huadao.

And the peak realm of the Yuyang Ziyuan Sect was already a peak existence in the Yanyang Kingdom where their sect was located.

This is the sect leader of the sect where the old Taoist priest is located, Yuyangzi, it is precisely because of the existence of Yuyangzi that the Xingji Sect, the sect where the old Taoist is located, is one of the top ten sects of the Yanyang Kingdom, and it is the only powerful force in the Yanyang Sect, the great sect that protects the country in the Yanyang Kingdom.

Moreover, the reason why the Star Pole Sect is second only to the Yanyang Sect is not that the top strength is not as strong as the Yanyang Sect, but that the foundation is not as strong as the Yanyang Sect, so it has been suppressed by the Yanyang Sect in this Yanyang Kingdom.

But even such a powerful sect has times when it is forced to do things that it doesn't think is right.

I only heard that Yuyangzi say to the old Taoist: "Senior brother, have you already explained everything that should be explained to Xiao'er?"

After hearing this, the old Taoist priest did not answer Yuyangzi's words, but asked, "Senior brother, do you still want to arrest me and Xiao'er this time?"

Yu Yangzi's expression froze, and Zhengse replied: "Yes, I am here to take you back, but after the joint efforts of me and the elders of the sect, they finally promised that we only need to bring you back alone." ”

After hearing this, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but say angrily: "What are they doing when they only brought me back alone, do they want to use me so that Xiao'er can throw themselves into the net?! They are too despicable!!Xiao'er has already left the sect, why do they still want to kill Xiao'er!!"

Yuyangzi saw the old Taoist's excited expression, and said to the old Taoist: "Senior brother, you calm down first! I know that you want to protect Xiao'er, a peerless genius like Xiao'er, I also want to give him a space to develop, but the helpless thing is that he is jealous of others, so that people who can't be offended are worried, this is also the end of his life, if he can escape, he will definitely fly for nine days in the future!" It's you, you just blindly want to protect Xiao'er, but let the sect fall into a predicament, don't you want to think about what you're doing right now!? the people there have given us an ultimatum, and given certain relaxed conditions, if you are still as stubborn as before, where are you going to put the sect in place! Senior brother, go back with me, you have done enough for Xiao'er, now you should think about the sect. Xiao'er's life and death depend on his creation!"

After hearing this, the old Taoist priest's face showed a look of pain.

In the end, the old Taoist priest gritted his teeth and said to Yuyangzi: "Okay, senior brother, I can return to the sect with you, but you have to promise not to reveal Xiao'er's whereabouts to them, otherwise I will die and escape from the sect!!"

After hearing this, Yuyangzi said, "Okay, I promise you!"

Then, the old Taoist priest finally reluctantly followed Yuyangzi and quickly left into the distance.
