Many years ago, the new generation of Xuanzi generation of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain had just entered the mountain.

It was March when the grass was growing and the warbler was flying, and there were still some harsh winters on the mountain that had not been cleaned.

The weather, which was not very good, was even worse in the dripping spring rain.

Several small figures ran out of a medicine garden in a panic, covering their heads with their hands, and stepping over the quagmire with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

By the time they all reached the eaves of a building to take shelter from the rain, their trousers were already covered with fine mud spots.

The youngest Li Xuanshan was the most embarrassed, he was already fatter, his movements were not as flexible as other clan brothers, and he lost one of his shoes in a panic.

Li Xuanshan has only entered the mountain this year, and now he has just entered the first layer of qi refining, even if he talks about his age, he is only six or seven years old.

He lost a shoe, which seemed to him to be a great thing, and he wanted to go back and pick it up, but the rain outside began to fall heavily, and the rainwater that collected from the eaves fell and became a line.

"Boom", that's spring thunder!

The dazzling thunder light instantly lit up the entire sky.

The appearance of Chunlei completely dispelled Li Xuanshan's idea of going out to pick up shoes.

Several children of the Li family's Xuanzi generation stood under the eaves like this, first their clothes were soaked by the rain, and then there were bursts of cool breezes blowing behind them, which made them choke on the cold.

Li Xuantian, who ranked second in the Xuanzi generation, looked behind him, this is a family's abandoned wooden building, the inside is very dark, and it is very messy, and from the outside, it is still a little eerie.

He asked the rest if they wanted to take shelter from the rain, and the other children stuck their heads out and looked inside, then shook their heads in unison.

Li Xuantian entered the mountain three years earlier than them, and now he is now at the second level of qi refining, and he thinks that as the second brother, he should take on the responsibility of taking care of the rest of the clansmen.

So he cheered himself up in his heart, and then rushed in with the feeling of seeing death as if he were at home, and picked up some wood and came out.

With a fire-based spell that he had just learned not long ago, Li Xuantian successfully used these pieces of wood to build a fire under the eaves.

The trembling Xuanzi clansmen gathered around one after another, stretching out their little hands to roast by the rising flames.

When the temperature of the flame reached their bodies, it was as if the cold in their bodies disappeared in an instant.

They talked and laughed, and their immature little faces were in a circle, reflected in the firelight, and they were all red one by one.

Li Xuantian stood outside the circle, looking at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, at this moment he felt very majestic.

The warmth brought by the flame made Li Xuanshan forget about losing his shoes for a while, and he used his hands and feet at the same time, stretching his chubby feet to the side of the fire, so that he could also share this warmth.

Li Xuantian noticed this scene, and he asked:

"Xuanshan, where did your shoes go?"

The second brother's inquiry brought Li Xuanshan back to reality, he looked down at his pink feet, and then raised his head to look at Li Xuantian.

was stunned for a moment, and then his expression gradually collapsed, as if he had been wronged, and he cried in an instant.

"Second brother, I'm ...... I lost my shoes. ”

.......

On the edge of a cliff in Taiqiu Mountain, Li Xuanshan, who had already refined qi at the ninth level, quietly looked at his second brother Li Xuantian, who was only a few steps away, from behind.

I have always felt that I have been a majestic figure since I was a child, but now I feel a little rickety!

"Second brother...... Do you really want to leave?"

Li Xuantian, who had failed to impact the foundation building realm in retreat, slowly turned around, and the quiet starlight sprinkled on his body, a little desolate.

"Xuanshan, do you remember the shoe I picked up for you when you first entered the mountain?"

Li Xuanshan didn't know what it meant, and was silent for a moment without answering.

Li Xuantian took the opportunity to sit down on a stone next to him, he raised his head slightly, and looked at the galaxy in the night sky.

After a long time, he said lightly:

"I don't have the ability to pick up your shoes anymore!"

Li Xuanshan was a little sad, and he also remembered the picture of his second brother helping him pick up his shoes in the rain many years ago.

Obviously he was afraid of the wooden house, too!

Obviously, he is also afraid of those scary spring thunders with loud voices!

Li Xuanshan, who had always been a talkative in front of the ninth brother Li Xuangang, was silent and speechless at this time.

"Since the death of my eldest brother, I have taken on the responsibility of being the elder brother of the Xuanzi generation, I thought I could bear it, but now I am afraid that I will disappoint you. ”

Li Xuanshan walked over, still didn't speak, just sat down next to Li Xuantian.

He knew how hard the failure of the impact on the foundation building realm was to the second brother Li Xuantian.

From childhood to adulthood, for decades, the second brother Li Xuantian has always been the pride of the entire family, whether it is his brothers of the same generation or the elders of the clan, they all have high hopes for him.

are waiting for him to enter the foundation building realm, and then provoke the pillars of the family. But when he came out of the cave of retreat in decadence, all these expectations were shattered.

The two of them sat quietly all night, until the sky began to whiten and the stars began to reced.

......

Early in the morning, Li Xuantian came to the top of Taiqiu Mountain.

When he expressed to his fifth uncle Li Changqing that he wanted to leave the family and go outside to find the next opportunity to break the mirror, the latter did not object to him, but instead handed him a storage bag with some spirit stones in it.

There are often many things that a monk can't ask for in his life, and the most difficult of them is to break through the realm.

Leaving from the top of Taiqiu Mountain, Li Xuantian solemnly bowed to the patriarch Li Changqing, said his final goodbye, and presented his family token with both hands. Said:

"Fifth uncle, I've let you down!"

Li Changqing took it, as usual, there was no emotional fluctuation on his face, just looked at him lightly.

His eyes were full of complicated emotions, which made Li Xuantian a little frightened for a while.

However, Li Xuantian is a determined person, and since he has made a decision, he will not change it easily.

He turned and walked out of the barrier at the top of the mountain with a hint of determination.

The moment he stepped out of the light curtain, a pale pink spirit peach blossom petal slowly fell from the sky and floated in front of Li Xuantian, he paused his figure and stretched out his palm to let it fall on his palm.

Looking at this peach blossom, he suddenly felt a little sad, he turned his head and took one last look at the vigorous third-order spirit peach tree on the top of the mountain.

Then, he resolutely walked down the mountain.

Li Changqing looked down at the familiar black family token in his hand, and there was an aura that belonged to Li Xuantian on it.

He casually put it into his storage bag, and then faintly said to Li Xuantian, who was gradually moving away from his sight: "This token, I'll help you keep it first, and if you have a chance in the future, remember to come and get it back." ”

Li Xuantian held the petals in his palm tightly as he walked, and after hearing the voice of his fifth uncle Li Changqing, his footsteps paused. It seemed that he was hesitating something, but after a slight choking, he didn't make any other movements, and continued to walk down the mountain.

And Li Changqing, who stayed at the top of the mountain, just looked at the departing figure indifferently and did not stay.

After standing in the mountain wind for a while, he also turned around and entered his cave.

......

Li Xuantian was going to the north, not the Immortal Yuan Sect in the north of Taiqiu Mountain, but the extreme north land that was much northerth.

I heard that there is snow all year round, and there is no daylight all year round.

Li Xuantian believes that only such a Jedi can regain his lost confidence, and he must re-shoulder the responsibility of the family's rise.

His departure did not alarm any of the tribesmen, and even when they saw him go out of the mountain, they thought that he was just going out on an ordinary mission.

Li Xuanshan is now the leader of the family's tortoise beast caravan, and when he saw the figure of his second brother Li Xuantian leaving Taiqiu Mountain, he stopped the caravan that was about to leave for Mangshanfang City, and ordered the rest of the clan to suspend the departure first.

He caught up with Li Xuantian and walked side by side, Li Xuantian turned his head to look at him, and did not speak until the two of them were far away from the mountain range of Taiqiu Mountain.

Feeling that the distance was almost over, Li Xuantian stopped, turned around and looked at Taiqiu Mountain in the distance, and then silently took off the black black Xuanyi of the family on his body and changed into a gray robe.

After Li Xuantian finished changing, Li Xuanshan took out a storage bag from his waist and handed it over.

"Here are some elixirs I collected, I heard the ninth brother say that it is very effective for alchemy, the second brother went to the extreme north this time, and sometimes he will be able to use it. ”

Putting the black Xuanshan clothes he had taken off into the storage bag and putting them away, Li Xuantian looked at Li Xuanshan's chubby round face, barely showed a smile, and took the storage bag from his hand.

Seeing this, Li Xuanshan also laughed, and the laughter of the two of them spread all over the wilderness for a while.

After a long time, Li Xuantian patted Li Xuanshan on the shoulder, and finally instructed him about his cultivation.

Li Xuanshan, who was already in tears, nodded vigorously with a crying voice, and let the tears pass across his face.

When Li Xuantian left, the bright sun shone on his body, dragging out a long shadow, and he habitually raised his right hand and shook it.

This is not only a farewell to Li Xuanshan, but also a farewell to Taiqiu Mountain.

Li Xuanshan stayed in place, quietly watching the figure of his second brother Li Xuantian gradually disappear in his sight.

After waiting for a long time, it was not until the sun set, until the night was full of stars, that he turned around and left.

......

Li Xuantian left, it is possible that he will come back one day, it is possible that he will ...... He'll never come back!
