The low roar of the jackals sounded in their ears, as if they were happy to see the food, or an ultimatum to their prey.

Xiao Tong closed his eyes tightly, he didn't dare to open his eyes, he was still young, he couldn't die generously, he just relied on his strength to lure away these jackals, he just knew that the person was very good to him, he just knew that he didn't want to see that person die.

But when it comes to life and death, he will still be afraid, he will still be nervous, he has always been curious about whether people will become ghosts when they die, but at this time, he found that his curiosity was gone.

He saw the jackals approaching through his fingers, and his head was in chaos, and he spread his hands, closed them, and began to cry out loud.

......

Xu Changan looked at Xiao Tong nervously.

His hand touched the trident, but suddenly closed his eyes.

Slowly, a layer of fine sweat was covered on the child's forehead, and Xu Changan's palm holding the burning hand was also sweating.

Although he already knew that this place was not the same as Yunmeng Mountain, and there was no news of Uncle Shi, he knew that even if it had nothing to do with Uncle Shi, he wanted to know how much his unmasked father and uncles had done for him.

That's why he had to move forward.

And Su Qing also stared at the little boy who had closed his eyes tightly, he had always been downbeat to the life and death of outsiders, and he was also slightly nervous at this time.

It's not because he is a member of the Confucius Temple, and it's not because the success or failure of this child determines whether he can go to the end.

After Ben Zida learned that this so-called shogun was not built by that person, he was slightly disappointed, although the snow wolf picture at the door attracted him, but to him, none of this mattered.

The most important thing for him is to be able to find his Abba and Grandma.

He stayed here because of Xiaotong, because he was just a child, a child who was ostensibly giggling and liked to eat rock sugar gourds.

But he could feel the loneliness and concern buried in the child's heart.

Just like when he was a child, he faced the leaders and generals of all sides alone, and if he didn't pay attention, those people would open their bloody mouths and swallow their Shuo and his subordinates.

Just like he has been waiting for Abba and Auntie to return, Xiao Tong is also waiting for that person's return.

It's not a pity, he thinks.

He thought about it, it must be a kind of sympathy for each other's situation! But this little guy was much luckier than him, he had a little gentleman who took care of him, and there was a temple of Confucius behind him.

Wang Zihan also looked at Xiao Tong nervously.

Although it is beneficial for him for the child to accept the inheritance, there is no harm in it. But what if it fails?

Although it is said that the general is known to the world. But he didn't know much about his generals.

There are rumors among the people that the general has several evil generals under him, which is one of the reasons why he is invincible and invincible.

Although it is an exaggeration to say that he is an evil general, no one dares to guarantee that there are no people with strange temperaments under him.

She had heard from her elders that some of the more withdrawn seniors would usually give up on those disciples who had not been assessed.

The so-called renunciation is not to let him go out and fend for himself, those seniors cherish their reputation more than their own lives. Giving up is to let them not go out and weaken his reputation.

Her palms were also slightly sweaty, she had always liked children, and she was still such a well-behaved and obedient child.

Women will always be like this, caring will be chaotic, and all kinds of messy thoughts will come out, but once those thoughts come out, they are like weeds, and under her cranky thoughts, they take root and sprout, and she will be even more messy.

Xu Changan glanced at Wang Zihan, who was staring at Xiao Tong tightly, and even Xiao Bai in her arms looked solemnly at the figure in the air.

Not to mention, the nervous appearance of this eldest lady who didn't have the temper of the eldest lady made him feel a little heartache.

Fan Bufu also stared at the small figure in the air tightly, as if he was asleep.

Fan Bushu's eyes were red, and his heart was very entangled.

Xiao Tong is an excellent seedling, but his own martial arts cultivation has its drawbacks, but there are rules. He didn't want to ruin the future of others, and he didn't want to lose this opportunity that might be the lintel.

If it had been before, he would naturally not have this kind of concern, he would not be able to break through the sea in his life, and he would not be able to dominate the Dao, so what? Because he was 100% sure that the little boy would at least become a little grandmaster.

Even if it's just a little grandmaster, as long as it's stained with the word grandmaster, the world is so big, where can't you go?

But now, he is very entangled.

Zhao Tianhao, he has met once, that majestic general, he held this trident in his hand back then, even if the peak of the grandmaster came, they were not afraid of the iron-blooded thirteen horsemen.

The group of young generals with bright eyes like the bright moon, the biggest one at that time was just a young man!

When it comes to medical skills, he can proudly look up and say, "Lao Tzu is the second in the world", and no one dares to come out to recognize a first.

Can...... He remembered the damn woman he hadn't forgotten.

"If you are strong enough, who in the world can hurt you in the slightest, then what is the use of this medical immortal!"

Although this is arrogant enough, he has to admit that there is some truth in it.

Late at night, although Chai Xintong was injured and injured, with his deep foundation, although he was still weak, he woke up quickly.

He touched his hand and looked down to see that Fan Jiuxian was lying on the edge of the bed like a kitten and sleeping soundly.

Taking advantage of the candlelight, he leaned down slightly, for fear of waking her up.

He adjusted to a comfortable angle, just in time to be able to see her cheeks, which still had some pot ash on her face.

"It would be nice if I could look at you like this for the rest of my life. ”

The thought was like a seed buried deep in his heart.

When the wind blew, his face changed, and an indescribable sense of fear hit him in his heart, Fan Jiuxian was woken up by his movements, looking at him nervously, helpless.

As soon as his heart hurt, he returned to normal, and Fan Jiuxian also breathed a sigh of relief.

He frowned, and suddenly remembered something.

"Are they in danger, children?"

......

When the boy woke up, he was plunged into darkness, a suffocating, terrifying darkness.

As far as the eye could see, it was dark, there was no wind, and there was no life. It was like a prison of darkness, with no door and no way out.

The boy touched his face, and without any perception, could it be that this is the end of the gathering of souls - the ruins?

It is rumored that those souls that refuse to dissipate will be forcibly sucked into the ruins after death, where there is no daylight, only those indifferent and cold souls, and when those souls dissipate, they will turn into black water.

All the water in the world gathers in the ruins, just to assimilate the water that those dark souls have turned into, so that their evil spirit is reduced.

The boy hugged his legs and did it, but he didn't dare to move, he didn't know if there were cliffs around, or if he stepped on it, he would become those black waters.

He rubbed his eyes, isn't this a ruin?

In the distance, there were red dots of light flickering and flickering.

Those points of light slowly gathered, perhaps because he had been in the dark for too long, his eyes were blurred, and the little boy suddenly realized: He didn't seem to be dead?

He closed his eyes and rubbed them vigorously, finally seeing what he was seeing.

A masked man stood in front of him with a candle in front of him, and he was in a stone house.

"How's the darkness going?"

The little boy felt his heartbeat and cold hands and feet, let out a long sigh, and glanced at the mysterious man with the mask.

"I thought I had arrived at the ruins. ”

The mysterious man with the mask snorted coldly: "Do you really think that anyone can go to the ruins?"

"Get up!" the mysterious man said fiercely, kicking the boy with a kick.

The boy rubbed his numb legs and stood up.

"I'll kill all the wolves. The mysterious man said lightly.

Xiao Tong's eyes showed joy, so the little gentleman is okay?

The mysterious man snorted coldly: "What are you laughing at!" The little boy immediately suppressed his smile.

The corners of the mysterious man's mouth pulled a trace of arc: "I helped you solve the wolves and saved your life, how can you repay me?"

Xiao Tong scratched his head: "As long as I can do it, it's okay!"

"Alright, kill someone for me. The mysterious man said lightly, as if killing people was a common thing.

Without waiting for the boy to refuse, he continued: "Out of this stone house, three miles ahead, there is an old man who buys tofu, you help me kill him." ”

"Is he a wicked man?"

"It's not. ”

"Why should I go?"

"You owe me my life. ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Tong also felt reasonable, nodded and said, "Then he offended you?"

"Yes, I passed by his stall and he spat on my shoes. Although he apologized, I still wanted to kill him, for no reason. ”

"But I'm just a child. The boy thought for a moment and replied.

"He likes children the most, he won't guard against you, and if you stab this dagger into his lower abdomen at once, the poison on it will kill him. The mysterious man said lightly, then took out a dagger and handed it over.

"Then why don't you go yourself? You can kill the wolves, and you need a kid to help you kill people?"

"What am I? His life is not worth it. ”

When the little boy heard this, a smile appeared on his pale face.

"Is there no other way?" the mystery man nodded.

The boy stretched, stretched his arms and closed his eyes.

"What do you mean?" asked the mystery man.

"Mr. Xiao said that a gentleman has something to do and something not to do. You saved my life, I should help you, but if you want me to kill an innocent person, don't say I can't do it, even if I can do it, I won't do it. In that case, you might as well take this life back!"

Xiao Tong said softly: "This is the way of a gentleman taught me by Mr. Xiao, and it is also the gentleman's way that my father has always asked me to uphold." ”

The mysterious man looked at him in surprise, why did this little guy seem to be brought out by the old poor sour?

But he didn't talk nonsense, and pulled out the dagger, which had a strange purple halo on it, and thought it was poison.

The dagger was pressed against his neck, and the boy felt the pain in his heart, and his body curled up, as if there were thousands of insects crawling inside.

"It's too late for you to regret it. ”

The boy gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

A crisp sound came, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed, and a general wearing armor and holding a trident stood in front of him, and he returned to the bank of the river where he had met the little gentleman.

The boy stood up, touched his neck suspiciously, and looked at the somewhat familiar general.

"I didn't expect that my inheritor was actually a child. He smiled and continued, "There is more than loyalty, but not enough bravery." ”

The boy has not yet recovered from the shock.

"Don't look at it, everything before was an illusion, I don't want to give my skills to a person who has no virtue and no deeds. ”

The little boy put away the curious expression he had just put away and looked at the familiar trident in his hand.

"I am Zhao Tianhao, I have the mercy of the general, I have been fighting for more than ten years, the battle will be won, and the people will be safe. Everywhere he went, he never killed a general or a common man, which was the greatest achievement of his life. ”

"However, the situation changed abruptly, and my thirteen brothers went to sea to find medicine for the son, and I was poisoned by the evil Jiao, and there was no medicine to cure it, so I settled in this mountain, left a legacy, and waited for someone to inherit my will!"

Zhao Tianhao said in a deep voice.

"I have three aspirations: first, my inheritor needs to pass the follow-up test, get the medicinal materials we prepared for the son, and do my best to give it to the son, this is a wish, so that I am worthy of the general!"

"Second, our thirteen brothers came here, encountered a great enemy, and my brothers were separated, and my disciples need to find their whereabouts, and if anything happens, they will be buried with the gift of their teacher. These are two wishes, so that I am worthy of my brother!"

"Third, what I have learned, domineering abnormal, my disciples need to swear, not to kill, not to disturb the people, stand up and do the right way, if you violate this oath, the wolf halberd pierces the intestines and dies! This is my third wish, so that I am worthy of the world!"

Zhao Tianhao's waist was straight, and his voice was loud.

"If you want, prostrate to the teacher!"

When the child heard this, a warm blood in his heart was stimulated. Immediately knelt down, raised his hand and swore an oath.

"I, Chen Liangtong, swear! I would like to worship General Zhao Tianhao as a teacher, and after learning the arts, I will look for the descendants of the general, find the whereabouts of my uncle, and never bully the weak, and never bully the weak.

Anyway, I knocked my head three times!

......

Xu Changan and the others stared at the little boy in the air, becoming more and more impatient.

Suddenly, the boy opened his eyes and grasped the trident!
