In late autumn, the flowers are gone. Outside the window, the wind rustles and the drizzle is mixed with a few snowflakes, which is a sign of the cold winter before the onset of winter.

A young man curled up in the corner of the bed, enduring the cold, the boy had no sleep, so he had to shrink into a ball, and the cold wind gradually took away his body temperature.

The young man's name is Xu Feng, his ancestors were once a family in Wuzhen, and later his family fell into the middle of the road, and in his generation, he was already a family with four walls.

The sky was cloudy, and the cold wind was still outside the window. The boy endured the pain, lit the coal lamp at the bedside, and took out a tattered book from under his pillow, which he had paid ten copper coins from a Confucian scholar before March.

The young man looked at this "Hanshan Sword Book" with fascination,

Holding a wooden stick, he made a gesture according to the sword move on the sword book. Unfortunately, the young man was illiterate and difficult to comprehend the mystery.

"You rebel, what's the use of practicing this sword-breaking technique, it's better to study hard, gain fame as soon as possible, and revitalize the Xu family." Father Xu pushed the door and scolded.

"Yes, yes, study hard, our family is broken, do you have the ability to provide me with education?"

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be illiterate, and I wouldn't even be able to understand this sword book."

"That's it, I'll do as you wish, so that your mother can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

"But this cold winter is coming, you and I have to plan early."

"Besides, there is not much food left at home, so we have to pick some elixir for some silver, and then hunt some prey to survive this long winter." Father Xu sighed with a sad face.

"Is that going to Wumeng Mountain again?" Xu Feng's face was full of worry.

"Nonsense, where else can I go?"

"But I heard that there are dozens of people in the Lin family, and they met a flaming tiger in Wumeng Mountain, but none of them survived, and even the bones were never found."

"Those are all rumors, can rumors be true? Besides, if you really meet that Flame Tiger, you and I will have two lives, and it is not impossible to feed that Flame Tiger. ”

"There is such an unreliable father in this world." Xu Feng scolded secretly.

"Feng'er, take the guys."

Xu Feng listened, put a bamboo basket on his back, and hung his shiny knife on his waist. Brought some dry food, water.

"It's not too early, let's go." Father Xu said.

The two of them left the dilapidated wooden house and walked towards Wumeng Mountain.

Wuzhen is named because it is located at the foot of Wumeng Mountain, which is the first mountain in the Southern Dynasty and is located at the junction of the Southern Dynasty and the Liang Kingdom. It is famous all over the world for its steepness, danger and towering. There are countless precious medicinal materials in the mountains, countless spiritual plants, and countless birds and beasts.

Wumeng Mountain used to be a barren land, a radius of 100 miles is the habitat of demon beasts, and later the ancestors of Wuzhen opened up the territory and slaughtered the demon beasts, leaving only a few hidden in the deep mountains, so there is today's Wuzhen.

Winter is coming, but the streets of Wuzhen are extremely prosperous, because the heavy snow is about to close the mountain, if you want to enter the mountain, you can only wait until next spring. That's why a large number of businessmen gather here, and every year when the cold winter is approaching, a ten-day trade conference is held, and today is the first day.

The two of them walked on this bustling, busy street.

"Two of you stay." The old man at a medicine stall said.

"You two are going to the Umeng Mountain."

"Exactly, I don't know what to do." Xu Tianji replied.

"If you can find the fire mushroom, can you sell it to us, and I am willing to buy it at a high price."

"Senior, aren't you joking, this Huozhi grows on the cliff, extremely rare, don't say that we rough men, even the swordsmen who can fly with the sword, it is very difficult to get a Huozhi."

"Having said that, I still believe in both." The old man looked helpless.

"If the two of us are lucky enough to get Huozhi, it is not impossible to trade with our seniors." With that, the two walked towards Wumeng Mountain.

"Dad, what is this Huozhi, and why is it so valuable?" Xu Feng asked.

"It is said that when Pangu opened the world, its body turned into mountains and rivers, its blood turned into rivers, its hair turned into trees, and its bones were fossilized, and this Huozhi was transformed into a few drops of Pangu's essence blood."

"Dad, you are my three-year-old child, you don't believe it yourself."

"Don't play with you, this fire mushroom is the same size as the Ganoderma lucidum you see on weekdays, the whole body is fiery red, and from time to time it will emit red flames, which is so weird that it can be used as medicine, can be alchemy, and it is a high-quality medicine that people who practice martial arts can not find. If it is refined with the remaining nine kinds of elixirs, there are also miraculous effects such as anti-aging and rejuvenation, resurrection of the dead, etc. ”

"How do you know this?" Xu Feng asked puzzled.

"I learned from an old man."

"Oh, you're not going to lie to me again."

"You slippery head, don't believe it."

"Dad, what is in your wooden box, can you show me?" Xu Feng's face was full of doubts.

"It's nothing, it's just old things, and you'll know when the time comes."

The two left Wuzhen and walked on a mountain trail to Wumeng Mountain.

Today's Wumeng Mountain, full of fog, there are endless weirdness.

Soon, the two arrived at Wumeng Mountain, which is divided into the outer mountain and the inner mountain, the inner mountain monsters are rampant, dangerous to reach, and the outer mountain is relatively peaceful, although sometimes there are demon beasts infested, but they are some low-level demon beasts.

The two of them walked to a river valley.

"You and I will separate here, don't go far, and meet here in three hours." Xu Tianji said.

"Oh, I know." Xu Feng looked extremely excited.

The father and son of the Xu family have also come to this Wumeng Mountain dozens of times. Therefore, Xu Feng is also very familiar with this Wumeng Mountain, if he can find an elixir that is hundreds of years old, the two of them don't have to worry about this food for the winter.

"I'll give you something, and if it's in danger, blow it, and I'll come at once."

Xu Tianji put a bone whistle into Xu Feng's hand.

Xu Feng couldn't help but blow the bone whistle, and suddenly, a pleasant sound resounded through the valley.

"Hehe, it's pretty loud, it's a nice thing."

"If you lose this bone whistle, if you are in danger, or if you are swallowed by the flaming tiger, don't blame me."

"I don't blame you, I don't blame you, besides, if I really meet that flame tiger, what's the use of blowing this bone whistle, I don't have to die in the tiger's mouth. Then I will go down to the earth and tell my mother thy words. ”

"You kid......"

The two of them in the vast Wumeng Mountain, like a drop in the ocean, are extremely small.

In this prosperous town, the father and son of the Xu family seem out of place, and the two of them are like two copper coins in a pile of silver in this Wuzhen, so the two of them rely on this Wumeng Mountain to have a place in this Wuzhen. Every time he goes to Wumeng Mountain, Xu's father hunts, Xu Feng collects medicine, and the division of labor is clear. It's a passable day.

Xu Tianji knew that he was wrong, so he secretly scolded in his heart: "It seems that I am usually too kind, this child, more education." But now do the right thing first, and hunt more prey, otherwise you won't be able to survive this cold winter. ”

"If I can find some elixir and exchange it for silver, I will go to Qiaotou Lao Dao and buy a few more sword books, and my sword law will be able to go to the next level, and at that time, I will be the number one swordsman in the world." Xu Feng's face was full of excitement and he rushed towards the deep mountain.
