Chapter 1: Children of the Desert
In the long course of history, "lotus" has always symbolized holiness. There is a saying that the carrier of the soul is conceived.
It's a land that no one cares about. The desert is full of desolation and depression, but it is in such a deserted place that there is an oasis of great vitality. It is overgrown with lotus flowers, straight and proud. It seems that no matter how much the outside world is, it can't affect this group of extreme greens in the slightest. The day-to-day storms in the desert are normal and insignificant. But today, when the storm came, there was a slight thunder, and the sound was like the roar of a group of ghostly soldiers, but mixed with some crying. When the storm stopped, a golden light flashed and landed on the largest lotus flower in the middle of the oasis. When the halo dissipated, I found that it was a baby lying on it, but it was embarrassing. The baby had no right arm and his eyes were closed, as if he were a dead baby.
Time is passing day by day, everything has a spirit, not to mention the high-quality lotus flower that survives in this environment, the baby's arms are magically growing out slowly under the nourishment of this group of extremely green day by day. Water in the desert is hard to come by. The 7-year-old boy who holds the baby's big lotus, feeds all the dew gathered to the baby, drinks only the dew to live enough to walk on the ground, and lives by catching desert scorpions and digging some plants, with no name and no surname.
As usual, the boy clutches the scorpion. Happily coming to the oasis to drink, he raised a small turtle with excess scorpion meat. He always goes to feed and cares for it. "Little turtle, you have to grow up quickly, you have to learn to forage for food by yourself, otherwise it will be difficult to survive", as soon as the words fell, "Hurry up, hurry up, there should be water ahead" A rapid sound of horses' hooves came.
The boy then found a sand dune and hid. Thinking to himself, "How can anyone come here," he quietly looked at everything in front of him, a group of people who were hungry and thirsty in the desert to a certain level, walked to the oasis, where did they care about the image, the environment, men and women, buried their heads in grabbing water to drink. "These lotus flowers have aura, how can you do this, Wang Feng!" This Wang Feng picked most of the lotus flowers at this time, "Hey, senior sister, I don't know what the danger is ahead, our realm is low, we haven't survived without food, let you kill horses and eat meat, you are reluctant"
What Wang Feng didn't know was that his behavior, and even his face, all fell into the eyes of the little boy behind the dune. For the little boy, only he knows what these lotus flowers mean. For the first time in his youth, he clenched his fists and held them all the time. Silently looked up at the sky,,,
"Okay, senior sister, hurry up and let's go, we must catch that guy, how capable can he be a monk in the Red Leaf Realm? The boy is very familiar with this desert, and has lived for 7 years, and he wants to hide it unless he can find it in the high realm. "Let's go, Senior Brother Wang, what's crazy, there is no ghost here" This group of people may not know that they are followed by a child, but this child has made their group of people deadly,,,,
The little boy and the little turtle followed them silently, how could he not hate the previous oasis being ruined by these people? The lotus flower that raised him has changed dramatically. Of course, this is all an afterthought, and after eavesdropping and tracking all the way, the boy learned. It turned out that this group of people came from a sect called "Zuo Lintan". He was going to chase a wounded man deep in the desert, and it was the first time he had heard the term "monk".
At this time, he found a hole to hide, at least 10 miles away from this group of people, these are the habits he usually developed in the desert to catch prey. Observation has become his instinct, and he often can't catch his prey. He didn't notice that the little turtle was catching a scorpion at this time, and suddenly the little turtle was on all fours. The scorpion took on a human form and stood in front of the boy, covered in blood. "If you want to live, don't scream," the man collapsed in front of the boy.
"Forget it, let them go, this desert, I don't believe I can't keep up with them" So, the little boy, 9 to 5, went out to look for scorpions, cacti, plants, etc. Come back and feed the man. But the man didn't react at all. It was really like dead, he sighed helplessly and sat on the side and said to himself, "Uncle, there is only so much I can help, you are so good to rest in peace" was about to take the little turtle away, grabbed his leg with one hand, and the boy didn't dare to look back and said, "Don't be, uncle, there is no merit and hard work, I haven't hurt you, the food is hard to find for you"
The man laughed, and the boy turned his head slowly, relieved to see that the other party seemed to be in much better spirits. "Boy, what's your name?" the boy said tremblingly, "I don't have a name, just call me a boy, I have lived here since I was a child, without a father or mother, and a turtle, lotus as a companion, but the lotus was destroyed by some people, I was looking for a chance to take revenge, I ran into your uncle" After speaking, he pointed to the little turtle on the side. The man, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, can see that the boy is not lying. Then he said, "My name is Lin Yong, and it's okay to call me Uncle Yong." How about we work together to kill that group of people?" The man always paid attention to the boy's facial expression, and then said, "That's it, that's it, I'll figure it out myself, you're still a child." "The boy who was silent for a long time. Looking up, "Uncle, I promise you, but you have to tell me what a monk is, I want to go to the outside world, you have to take me"
As the days passed, Lin Yong's injuries were also recovering day by day, "Boy, kill people, you can't use your bare hands, I have a few weapons here, do you like which one?" Immediately, with a wave of his big hand, he appeared out of thin air, a bunch of weapons, the boy couldn't open his eyes, bows, swords, knives, guns, but to Lin Yong's surprise, this kid didn't choose anything. Far away, the most inconspicuous stick and whip "Uncle Yong, I want these two" "Oh? tell me why?" Lin Yong was full of interest. The boy replied with a smile, "I think it's comfortable to take these two things, I believe I will be a good hunter in the future" Lin Yong was silent for a long time after listening to it, his eyes stared into the distance and said to himself, "Zuo Lintan, you have to suffer, dare to chase me Lin Yong to the desert? I want your life with this little son of the desert, wait and see" After getting along for a while, Lin Yong liked this kid more and more,,,
