In the midst of the lush woods, in a forest path, a resolute-faced teenager walks in the front, introducing the surroundings to a man and a woman in the back.

The man and the woman also listened carefully, and asked a word or two from time to time, and the scene was quite harmonious.

"I've been walking for so long, and I haven't asked your name yet, what's your name?" Liu Li asked casually.

Hearing Liu Li's question, the young man stopped and said proudly: "My name is Wen Hao, how about Engong, it's good, this is our patriarch grandfather gave me a name." ”

After that, he also introduced the origin of his name quite stinkily.

Liu Li smiled and said, "It's very good, your patriarch grandfather is also very powerful." ”

Hearing Liu Li talk about the patriarch, Wen Hao became interested, and hurriedly said: "Of course, the patriarch's grandfather is not only powerful but also knows many things, and my skills are all taught by the patriarch's grandfather." ”

"Is your patriarch grandfather like you?" asked Liu Li casually.

Hearing Liu Li's question, Wen Hao, who was originally quite interested, his face darkened and became a little dull, but he still explained: "No, I am the only one in our family, this has been there since I was born, and I don't know what it is." ”

After a while, Wen Hao laughed again and said, "But fortunately, I met Engong, otherwise, I am afraid I would have died." ”

Liu Li smiled and did not answer.

"You like this boy very much?" asked Yinyue as she looked at the two of them who had questions and answers.

Liu Li nodded and said: "Knowing the grace and retribution, perseverance and courage, being able to put death and rebirth, and quite young, very malleable, it is indeed a manufacturable material." ”

"You don't think much of him, do you want to take him as an apprentice?" said Yinyue.

"I have this in mind, but it still needs to be investigated. Liu Li nodded and admitted.

At this moment, Wen Hao shouted in front of him: "Engong, we have arrived." ”

Liu Li looked over when he heard this, only to see Wen Hao shouting with his back to the portal formed by the two ancient trees.

The portal is as bright as the surface of the water, with faint ripples, making it seem quiet and quiet.

After a while, a crack slowly appeared on the mirror, and then, slowly expanding, a hunchbacked old man walked out slowly with a wooden staff, only to see that his beard was white, his eyebrows were kind, and he looked at Wen Hao kindly, but he exuded the aura of the peak of a true immortal.

When the young man saw the old man come out, he hurriedly ran to the old man's side, hugged the old man, and shouted, "Patriarch Grandpa." ”

introduced the two to the old man and told him what had happened to him, and the old man's eyes gradually became kind when he looked at Liu Li and the others.

Then he walked up to Liu Li and said, "See the adult, thank you for the adult, and go down to Xiaohao." ”

"It doesn't matter. Liu Li waved his hand and said.

"If the two adults don't dislike it, can the two adults enter the valley?" the old man invited the two.

Liu Li Yinyue glanced at each other, nodded, and directly agreed.

Wen Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Engong, our valley is beautiful, you must take a good look." ”

Then he led the two into the valley.

The two of them walked slowly across the barrier, only to feel that their eyes were bright, this valley was full of dense forests, countless colorful birds jumped on the branches, green vines, fairy grass, and exotic flowers, although the grade was not high, but it was everywhere.

There are also many shape-shifting Wen Birds who use the vines on the trees to build one after another places similar to houses for living and cultivating.

However, the aura here is slightly meager, and it can only provide cultivation to the True Immortal Realm, and this is also the reason why the patriarch has only reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm.

"The two of you are smiling. The old man spoke.

"It's okay, it's a nice place. Liu Li smiled.

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, a thin figure galloped from the valley, ran to the old man, and said a few words.

Suddenly, the old man's face changed, and he said to Liu Li and the others: "Two adults, I'm sorry, I have some urgent matters to deal with here, I want to deal with it, and I hope that the two adults Haihan." ”

"It's okay, you can deal with it first. Liu Li said.

Looking at the change in the patriarch, Wen Hao's expression also changed, and a trace of guilt swept through his eyes, but he didn't say anything after all.

And when the man saw Wen Hao, there was an indescribable sense of disgust in his eyes, which made Liu Li frown secretly when he saw this.

"Xiao Hao, you take these two adults around the valley first, and I'll deal with some things first. At this moment, the patriarch said.

"Okay, Grandpa Patriarch. Wen Hao replied when he heard this, with depression in his words.

The patriarch saw that Wen Hao agreed, and turned around and left directly.

"Engong, I'll take you around. ”

Liu Li nodded, and followed behind Wen Hao, listening to his introduction, but as time went on, Wen Hao's brows furrowed more and more, and he kept looking in the direction where the patriarch left.

"What's wrong?" Liu Li could naturally see Wen Hao's thoughts, and asked.

"Engong, do you think I can become stronger?" Wen Hao looked up at the sky and asked.

"Why do you say that?" Liu Li frowned slightly.

"When I was a child, since I can remember, I have been snubbed by them, and I have been looked down upon by them, and only the patriarch and grandfather have been good to me. As he spoke, Wen Hao's voice gradually deepened, and only when he talked about the patriarch would there be a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"I don't know why they hate me, so I just thought about cultivating hard, thinking that if I became stronger, others would agree with me. Wen Hao was still talking to himself, but his voice gradually became excited.

"But when I transformed, they were still like this, and even the disgust in their eyes was even stronger. Wen Hao's excited voice just now gradually became low again.

"But by chance, I heard the conversation between the patriarch and the other clansmen, and I learned that my father died to protect the clan, and they all knew it, but no one came out to speak for me, they all thought that my father caused all this, and blamed me for everything, is it really my fault?" But as soon as the tone of the words changed, the original low voice became excited again, and there was a trace of madness in the tone, and even, in the end, Wen Hao's words almost roared.

Seeing Wen Hao's performance, Yinyue on the side was secretly frightened, and turned her head to look at Liu Li, she never thought that this seemingly innocent young man would have such a mind.

At this moment, I saw that Liu Li still didn't change, and just asked, "What does that have to do with you becoming stronger?"

"yes, what does it have to do with them agreeing with me that I don't get stronger. Wen Hao muttered, confused.

"At the beginning, the patriarch's grandfather said that only by becoming stronger can he protect the clansmen, but his father guarded the clansmen, what did he get?" Wen Hao muttered.

Liu Li pondered for a moment and said: "When we cultivate, we must have a consistent goal, only in this way can we be transparent when we cultivate, this is called Dao Heart, your father's original intention is to protect the race and become stronger, but your race may be weak, so his fall is inevitable." ”

"Is it inevitable?" Hearing Liu Li's words, Wen Hao's eyes gradually brightened.

"Then what is my original intention for, the patriarch grandfather said, only the strong can protect the clan, this is the patriarch's grandfather's Dao heart, but my cultivation is just to make the patriarch grandfather happy, not for other people, what does it matter to me whether other people are dead or alive, as long as the people I care about can live. Wen Hao muttered, his tone almost ruthless.

At this moment, in the direction where the patriarch left, an explosion sounded, and I saw a huge mushroom cloud rising, its power could make Jin Xian move, and after feeling the breath from afar, Wen Hao was completely awakened, and ran in that direction madly, shouting in his mouth, "Grandpa Patriarch." ”
