A small hillside not far from Qingzhu Town is overgrown with weeds, withered trees everywhere, and there are scorched marks on the ground.

The sky was gray, the air that had just rained and there was a faint mist, it was a little cold to inhale in his mouth, Xiao Lin stood quietly in front of a mound of earth, in front of the mound was a stone tablet, which was engraved "Grandpa Yun's tomb." ”

Old man Yun was buried a day ago, and no one in the town attended except the old doctor, no gongs and drums, no paper money wreaths, and the old man lay quietly in the sarcophagus and was buried in this desolate land.

Xiao Lin sat down in front of Old Man Yun's tomb, his eyes looked into the distance without focus, and he whispered softly: "Grandpa, you have told me since I was a child that all suffering and blood and tears are fate, and the curse is a poison that cannot be escaped and can only be endured, I don't understand, but you are gone, I don't know where to go, let alone what my fate is." ”

"It is everyone's destiny to live with pain, and it is also everyone's innate curse. Su He didn't know when he came to Xiao Lin's side, sat on the ground and said softly.

"I don't know what fate is all about, but I don't believe it!" Xiao Lin's thin body was a little trembling and a little stubborn.

"Then what are you going to do?" Su He tilted his head to look at Xiao Lin, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Revenge! Not only grandpa, but also me...... It's revenge anyway. Xiao Lin's eyes were full of flames, and his hands were clenched tightly.

"What about after the revenge?" Sukh asked softly.

Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment: "After revenge?" He paused as if he was thinking, but then shook his head irritably, "I don't know, if there is really a fate in this world, then revenge is my fate." ”

Su He sighed: "Then what are you going to do, do you know who the opponent is?"

Xiao Lin stared at Su He: "Tell me, who are you, and why do those people deal with you?"

Su He looked at Xiao Lin and didn't speak, and after a long time, he said slowly: "To be honest, I don't know who they are, judging from the current intelligence, they are a mercenary group, specializing in war money, just ......" He frowned, and there was a hint of gloom on his face.

"Just what?"

"It's just that their figure of this mercenary group has appeared countless times in history, from the time of the first emperor of the Tianxiang Empire to the present, they have never disappeared for thousands of years, and their existence can be seen in every war, just like fate. ”

"Like fate?"

"I mean, it's as if they've been controlling the wars between empires, giving the feeling that they started all the wars. Su He's face was solemn, this mysterious mercenary group is definitely not as simple as it seems, the water in it is very deep.

"At the end of the day, you don't know anything. Xiao Lin was quite dissatisfied with Su He's answer, what was the difference between this and not saying anything. "What else do you know?" he asked condescendingly.

Su He looked at Xiao Lin blankly, he felt like he was a follower, reporting to his boss.

"What is the origin of this baby? Sukh muttered to himself.

Whether it is Old Man Yun who recognized his identity, or Xiao Lin, who manipulated the flame summoning giant gate, revealed a mystery from beginning to end, but Old Man Yun was dead and couldn't tell any secrets, Xiao Lin was obviously still blaming himself for killing his grandfather, and it was impossible to tell him.

Su He shook his head, drove some messy thoughts out of his mind, looked at Xiao Lin and said: "My name is Su He, I must already know that I am the field executor of the Tianxiang Empire's military department, and I will take care of you in the future, whether you want to or not." ”

"What is the ability?" Xiao Lin asked as he looked at Su He with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"You don't even know what a capable person is?" Su He was dumbfounded, a child who can burst out with powerful destructive power would not know the capable person.

"I should know?"

"Ahem, there are four types of abilities, elemental, spiritual, change, and mechanical, and people like you belong to the elemental ability. ”

"And what are you?"

"I ...... I don't have those abilities. ”

"And what will you do?"

"Swordsmanship. ”

"It's too weak. ”

“......”

Su He looked at Xiao Lin's disgust and disdain speechlessly, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak, what is this, he was despised himself, which really made him cry and laugh.

"Then you can teach me swordsmanship. Xiao Lin looked at Su He and said, as if he had made up his mind.

"You want to learn swords?" Su He was stunned, this kid just looked disgusted, how to say that he would change.

Xiao Lin's expression was serious: "No matter what it is, as long as it can make me stronger, I will learn." Then he paused, and then mended the knife: "Anyway, you are not a capable person, what else can you do except teach me swordsmanship?"

Su He laughed awkwardly and touched his chin: "Okay, but I'm strict." ”

"Yes. Xiao Lin nodded solemnly, "Tomorrow we will leave and go to the imperial capital." ”

"To the imperial capital?"

"Grandpa is gone, what are you doing in this place, going to the emperor has more opportunities to make me stronger. Xiao Lin clasped his hands on his chest and lowered his head and muttered, "By the way, you can help me pack my luggage again." ”

"What's that?"

"Pack your bags. ”

"Do that for me?"

"You said you would take care of me, of course I'll have to take advantage of it. Xiao Lin looked taken for granted, looked up at Su He with slanted eyes, and had an expression of "why don't you go to pack your luggage" written on his face.

"What are you rubbing, go quickly!"

Su He shook his head and got up, suddenly feeling a little sorry for himself, he seemed to have an ancestor, he was not only a teacher but also a nanny, and sometimes he had to perform the duties of a thug, and his future life was simply not bright, he couldn't help but wonder if he could be more relaxed if he died at that time.

Xiao Lin turned his head and kowtowed three more times to Old Man Yun's tomb: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will avenge you." After speaking, he got up and walked towards Qingzhu Town.

The whole hillside was completely deserted, the wind was whining, the fallen leaves were fluttering in the air, the occasional gravel was rolling down the hillside, and a tomb stood bare on the top of the hill, with a hint of desolation.

Suddenly, two figures slowly emerged from the shadows, like two ghosts wandering in the mountains, floating in all directions.

"Why don't you just take the little master away?" a figure suddenly spoke, half of his cheeks were exposed in the sun, it turned out to be the officer who had chased Su He before, the sleeve on his left side was dancing in the air empty, and his eyes were always staring at the direction of Xiao Lin's departure, "The door has appeared, shouldn't the organization firmly control it in its own hands?"

"You can rest assured that everything is under control. Another figure said with a smile.

If Xiao Lin was here, he would definitely be shocked and his hair stood on end, and the top of his head was numb, that figure was not someone else, it was the old man Yun who died for him.

It's just that Old Man Yun is now in good spirits, with a tall figure, with a gentle smile on his face, no longer wearing that linen coarse robe, but a flowing cyan robe, with a white jade belt tied on the robe, a paper fan inserted in his waist, and a blood-red rune painted on the back of the robe, with a trace of murderous aura permeating.

"Sukh didn't notice it, it wasn't easy to hide from him. The officer was a little worried, and if he was aware of it, this time the plan would be a complete failure.

"The Qingshuang Sword is worthy of its reputation, how much loss?"

"Su He wiped out more than 100 of my people with one person and one sword, dragging his seriously injured body for thousands of miles alone, this is simply ......" The officer shook his head, although he hated itchy, but he had to accept Su He's ability.

"Don't care about these little things, our goal has been achieved, and Xiao Linzi's future has already been determined. ”

"I still insist on bringing the little master directly back to the organization, in case something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome. ”

Old Man Yun looked into the distance, and the robe on his body danced: "The pointer of fate has begun to move, the curse of Shura will come to the world again, the curtain has been opened, and no one can stay out of it." ”

The officer was silent and no longer spoken, and the two figures gradually disappeared after a while, leaving only a mound and a tomb, and a gust of wind on the yellow leaves.

"Where are we going?" Xiao Lin walked in the forest with a bag on his back, a little struggling. The next day, they quietly left Qingzhu Town in the dark of night, and walked into the mountains behind the town, and before they knew it, they had been on the road for two days.

Xiao Lin didn't show any nostalgia or reluctance, the whole person left resolutely, didn't even look back, didn't talk to anyone, and didn't go to say goodbye to his friends, as if he had never appeared in this town.

Old God Suhe walked in front of him, holding his head in both hands: "Of course you are going to cultivate, otherwise how can you become stronger." ”

"This thing should be on your back. ”

"It's part of cultivation, exercising your mind. ”

"Before that, I was also mindful of cooking. ”

"Ahem, this nature, trust me, is good for you. ”

"Liar. ”

“......”

The forest was quiet, with the occasional chirping of insects, except for the rustling of the breeze and the crumbling of leaves on the ground.

Two people, one big and one small, walked in the woods, and there was very little talk between the two people, and no one took the initiative to speak unless it was necessary to communicate, each with his own thoughts.

"That's it. Sukh walked to a flat place and said, "Set up a tent here, and we'll have our first lesson." ”

"You ride. ”

"This is the ...... of cultivation"

"Get out. ”

“......”

Su He shook his head helplessly, the little kid can't be reasonable, who can withstand this, he can't help it, people are not in a high mood now, so he should just be a little bit.

After a stick of incense, the two people sat cross-legged in front of the tent, Su He held the Qingshuang sword in his hand, and said solemnly: "Remember, the swordsman should be brave and cut all things, including fate!" After speaking, he got up and danced with the sword.

In an instant, the sword light in the forest flickered, the sword qi flew, and the long sword in Su He's hand seemed to have life, dancing a pleasing dance in the air.

Xiao Lin looked at it in a daze, and was stunned for a while, and the bright light occasionally passed by his side, with a cold breath.

After a while, Su He exhaled and put away his sword, glanced at Xiao Lin, and casually threw over a wooden sword, which he made with a tree trunk along the way: "Hold the sword for an hour first, and then change the left and right hands." ”

Xiao Lin glared: "Why?"

Su He said angrily: "If you don't practice the basic skills, what skills will you learn." ”

"Then what were you doing with the sword just now?"

"Let me show you off, and prove that swordsmanship can also be very powerful. ”

“......”

"What are you rubbing, go quickly!"

Xiao Lin glared and picked up the wooden sword, stood still in the forest, and began to practice the basic skills with the sword in his right hand.

Su He held a weed in his mouth, leaned against the tree with his head in his hands, and watched Xiao Lin practice with great enjoyment, and then he looked down at the communication compass in his hand, and the three points of light on the map displayed by the compass were flashing constantly.

Su He smiled, and he was relieved that he finally came.
