In the south of Kyushu, the main altar of the Xuanling Sect, the rows of buildings are hidden among the peaks, the green fields are surging, beautiful, but in the warm breeze, there is a bloody atmosphere everywhere, and it lingers for a long time.

On the top of a strange peak, there is a stone henge, and in the center there is a person sitting cross-legged, that person looks to be middle-aged, with a shawl, sword eyebrows and black hair, and is exercising his skills, and his anger is endless.

A sharp eagle's cry tore through the silence of the sky, but when he saw an eagle hovering in the sky, the meditator opened his eyes, got up and walked to the edge of the cliff, and with a wave of his left hand, the falcon fell on his shoulder.

I saw him skillfully take off a letterbox tied to the eagle's leg, take out the letter paper and unfold it to look at it, his brows were relaxed, and he said again: "The hard work pays off, and finally I found him." ”

He raised his arm and let the falcon fly, and the eagle flew off into the distance. Not far away, a young girl in a purple dress looked up, and the falcon crossed above her, but she stood still, and there was no expression on her face covered by a light veil.

She said in a voice that couldn't hear joy and anger: "The beings of the six realms who have been suppressed for a long time are about to have a new change, this baptism of blood and fire, I don't know-"

Behind her, an old servant stroked his beard thoughtfully, also looked at the sky, and slowly took her words: "How many ghosts sigh!"

In a nameless mountain range, a child in coarse linen clothes is running wildly, he is running wildly, he is vigorous with his short flowing green hair, chasing a wild boar in front of him who is desperately fleeing. The boar seemed clumsy, but its speed was not inferior to that of the child, and it flickered and fell, left and right, stopped and stopped, jumped up and down, and escaped with great flexibility.

But the boy was still with him, and he was not left behind by it, and no matter how the boar got rid of him, he followed him.

Between the jungle, the branches are luxuriant, the ants and insects are all over, the birds and beasts are singing together, the chaos is endless, the towering branches of the sky are luxuriant, and the vines and grasses are leaning over the knees, if people walk in the middle, they must feel uncomfortable, but for this spiritual creature, it can be called a place of rest, paradise, comfortable and comfortable.

Seeing that the branches in front of him were thinning and there was no place to hide, the boar knew that his skills were poor, but he did not want to fall into the hands of the enemy, so he had to rush forward. The child was overjoyed, the wild boar had been disorganized before, which made him very troubled, but now he saw it running forward, not dodging like before, unwilling to miss the opportunity, and launched a pounce, and made up his mind to catch him, otherwise how could he be worthy of the physical strength consumed after this long pursuit. Seeing that the boar was not far away, he jumped up and threw himself at it, and as soon as he touched the pig's body, it stimulated the boar's desire to escape even more, and he snorted a few times, and slipped faster than before, and slid through the child's hand like a fish, and fled forward.

The child threw himself into the air, fell to the ground and gnawed on the mud, and his head was dizzy, but he felt that his hands were empty, and his anger was high, and he scolded: "You brute, you dare to tease me, see that I don't burn you into a fragrant and crispy roast suckling pig." At this point, the child's previous anger was fleeting, revealing a cute attitude, and smashing his mouth, as if reminiscing about the realm of food.

The boar had fled far away, and the child did not slack off, but got up and chased after him, and the boar had aroused the anger in his heart, how could he let it escape?

Soon after the chase, but I heard the sound of flowing water in front of me, the momentum was majestic, and it seemed to be fast and turbulent. The boy screamed with joy, and it seemed that he had cornered the boar, and could easily capture it.

Sure enough, a mountain stream appeared in front of him, and the sound of flowing water came from the bottom of the mountain, and there were cliffs on both sides, which were unclimbable. Surrounded by green trees, competing to grow in the rock crevices, the boar is not like an ape, it can climb straight up, and it cannot escape from here. Now the boar has fallen into a desperate situation, stunned on the spot, and then screams wildly, spinning in place, looking ridiculous.

The child also smiled and leaned back, stroked his palm and said quickly: "It's useless to shout again, quickly become my lunch!"

The boar screamed incessantly, glaring at the child as if it were an enemy, and the child was not angry but rejoicing, and slowly approached it. The boar was terrified when he saw the child's smile, his limbs trembled violently, and his cry became more and more timid.

The child had already approached with open arms, and was about to be captured in one fell swoop, when the boar cried again, knowing that it was useless, and retreated again. Stepping on the air, he screamed in panic, and climbed up again, but there was a deep stream behind him, there was no way to survive, and there was no room to move. He was so anxious that he kept howling, so that all the birds in the forest were startled, and their wings flapped and scattered, and the forest was empty.

The boar seemed to know the end of the road, so he gave up howling and paced slowly towards the child. This kind of sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger, the child is the first time to encounter it, and he is overjoyed, so he is not surprised, and he wants to grab his hands, how can he give up such a lunch delivered to the door.

When the boar was about to approach the child, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the deep stream behind, and the child suddenly woke up and chased after him.

It turned out that the child had guessed the intention of the boar, and he had already secretly observed the topography of this place, although there was a cliff trapped, but there was a sheep intestine trail on the opposite side of the deep stream, the torrent was turbulent, and the white waves flowed under the cliff, which seemed to be very thrilling. And this place is more than two or three zhang away from the opposite side, it is extremely difficult to cross, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the stream and die. The boar knew that he could not escape the child's pursuit, so he gave up breaking through, feeling that there was still a chance of life on this road.

The boar ran to the edge of the cliff, bent its forelimbs, kicked its hind legs hard, and swept up into the air, straight to the opposite flat ground. The child also jumped with all his might, and actually got up and came first, jumped above the boar, knowing that the opportunity was rare, and did not think too much, and sandwiched his fat body under the crotch. Seeing that a man and a pig were about to fall into the deep stream, and at this time there was still a distance of four or five zhang from the opposite place of landing, the children were not afraid at all, and with a clamp of their legs, they jumped up several feet and swept to the opposite grass together.

"Plop", the boar has been planted in the mud, but there is no trace of howl, fortunately the boar is at the bottom, although the child also fell, but did not feel pain. Therefore, without waiting for the boar to escape, he untied the rope on his waist, tied it with flowers, carried it on his shoulder, hummed a small song, and returned with a full load.

The boy came to a house, a house made of bamboo, which was simple but elegant. In front of the house is a large medicine garden, which grows luxuriantly and vibrantly. He did not enter directly through the main entrance, but went around the house to the pond at the back, threw the boar aside, plunged into the water, and washed his body indiscriminately, and his hair was moistened and washed by the pool water, which was even more verdant and eye-catching.

"Wind—" An old voice came from inside the room. The boy dried his hair with his sleeve, went into the house, called "Daddy," and found a clean set of clothes to change into.

When the sky was getting dark, and the room was very dark and dim, the child lit the oil lamp on the table, and he could see an old man sitting cross-legged on the bed, with gray hair, crane hair and goosebumps, and the bones of his thin face were clearly visible.

He hurriedly said, "Dad, why are you up, lie down, I'll cook." ”

This person is Ling Ziyang, whose lifespan has been eroded by the wind and snow, and that child is naturally Ling Feng, the son of him and Bi Ling'er.

Ling Ziyang said: "No need, Feng'er, you come to talk to your father." ”

"Good. Ling Feng went over and sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Ling Ziyang carefully.

"For my father I want to talk to you by candle, talk about the things when I was young, before I was twenty years old, life was bleak, there is nothing to say, I started to talk about when I met your mother, those things now I think about it, it's like a dream, a wonderful and sad dream, people can't stop, I went to Cangyun Mountain to collect medicine in order to save a person······"

It was late at night when Ling Ziyang finished speaking, and when he talked about his emotions, he couldn't help but burst into tears. After hearing this, Ling Feng showed a look of joy and yearning, and secretly thought, "Is this the outside world?"

Ling Ziyang calmed down his emotions for a while, and then said, "Feng'er, you have to listen to what you will tell you next, it will be related to you in the future. ”

Ling Feng nodded and listened carefully.

Ling Ziyang said: "This world is far bigger than you think, as the so-called heaven outside the sky, there are immortals, demons, ghosts, people, demons and all worlds, and there is the realm of your mother's hometown Qingluo Linggu, among which the three worlds of immortals, demons and ghosts are all ethereal, or above the nine heavens and blue falls, or under the nine secluded yellow springs, no one knows their existence, but their legends have been passed down to future generations. Generations of cultivators from mortals have all wanted to be in the immortal class and swim in the sky, but how can it be so easy to become an immortal, and the same is true for becoming a demon. It has been recorded for thousands of years, and only one person has attained the Tao and ascended to immortality, and another person has cultivated to become a heavenly demon, but there are no exact legends and deeds handed down.

"The stars change, the vicissitudes of life, human beings are all reincarnated in birth, old age, sickness and death, the so-called immortal cultivators only live a little longer than other mortals, and in the end they still can't transcend life and death. Even so, there are still many immortal cultivators who come forward one after another, wanting to prove the Great Dao, and spend their whole lives on cultivating immortals, and in the end they have not become a dry bone.

"Today, people cultivate immortals not only for the sake of immortality and longevity with the sky, but also to eliminate demons and defend the Tao for the benefit of the world. The sect of cultivating immortals in the human world is prevalent, especially the five pillars of Yaoji Palace, Luoxian Gate, Xuantian Sect, Guyue Mansion, and Biyunxuan, which are the most famous.

"Among them, the Yaoji Palace has been established for more than 800 years, with tens of thousands of disciples, it is the first major sect in the world of cultivating immortals, with a great reputation, and the mountain gate is located in a piece of land suspended in the sky, far above the clouds, extremely majestic, and is the head of the righteous sects recognized in the world. The sect second only to Yaoji Palace is Luoxian Gate, it has a long history of building, most of the disciples are practicing in seclusion, among which the disciples are masters like clouds, deep in the mountains and deep ravines, the mountain peaks are numerous, isolated from the world, the most important ones are Luoxian, Wuyu, Yaoguang, Luoxia, Fuyao, Lingxiao, Medicine King, Tianzhu Eight Peaks, each palm and a vein.

"Although the remaining three sects are far from the peak of the incense of Yaoji Palace and Luoxian Gate, they can be regarded as the leading sects in Kyushu. Although the prestige of Xuantian Sect and Guyue Mansion is not as good as that of Yaoji Palace and Luoxian Gate, they have always been indignant and strong, and after more than 500 years of development, they are also famous in the land of Kyushu. There is one remaining sect, Biyunxuan, although it is ranked last, but because the number of people is much smaller than that of the four major sects, and they are all women, and the establishment of the sect is not long, but it can be ranked among the five major sects of the righteous path, it should not be judged by the number of people, and the strength should not be underestimated.

"Located in the west of Kyushu is the power of the Demon Dao, where there are many sects, there are countless large and small sects, among which there are four sects with the greatest power, namely the Kui Star Palace, the Demon Palace, the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Xuanling Sect. Among them, the Kui Star Hall and the Demon Palace are the main sects that have only emerged in the last few hundred years, and they have been developing rapidly, which is quite worrying to the righteous path. The Heavenly Demon Sect and the Xuanling Sect were split from the Heavenly Xuansheng Sect thousands of years ago, and the two factions have been fighting endlessly for thousands of years, and it is difficult to get along.

"In addition, it is worth mentioning that there are three major sects of the hidden world, the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Demon God Gate and the Floating Dream Island, there are very few disciples under the sect, and there are very few disciples who walk the world, so I don't know much about them, I only know that the Heavenly Dao Sect belongs to the Xuanmen Righteous Path, and the Demon God Gate belongs to the Demon Dao, and the Floating Dream Island does not ask about the world, it is too secretive, and I know very little about it. ”

Ling Feng was stunned when he heard this, completely attracted, his eyes blazing, staring at his father tightly.

Ling Ziyang touched his head and continued: "It is said that a great war between the righteous and the demons broke out a thousand years ago, and all the sects at that time ceased to exist except for the Luoxian Sect. The Demon Sect is not much better, once their forces were unprecedentedly unified, known as the "Tianxuan Holy Sect", their strength was unprecedentedly strong, so that all the factions of the Righteous Path felt uneasy, but because of that big war, they were divided into two, their vitality was greatly damaged, and their strength was greatly reduced, and they were no longer able to compete with the Righteous Path, so they had to be in a corner of peace, and they were obscure. ”

After Ling Ziyang finished speaking, Ling Feng still couldn't help asking, "Daddy, why haven't I heard these legendary stories from you before?"

Ling Ziyang's face was gloomy, calm again, and he said eloquently: "Today, you have not come back from your outing, I accidentally found that a falcon appeared in the sky, every move is very abnormal, the prey is on the side, and I don't take a second look, you should be well-trained, when someone domesticates it, if you don't leave, you will get into trouble, so there are many important things entrusted to you." ”

Ling Feng exclaimed, "Daddy, aren't you leaving?"

Ling Ziyang shook his head and said, "My limit is approaching, and I can't go." You departed before dawn, and when you were leaving, you set fire to the house and burned it with me. ”

"Huh?" Ling Feng exclaimed.

Ling Ziyang slowly exhaled a breath and said: "We are hiding in this isolated deep mountain and dense forest, just to prevent that thing from appearing in the world, if it is obtained by the gangsters, it will definitely endanger the common people, and a catastrophe is inevitable." A fire can not only burn the clues and make them nowhere to be found, but also allow me to return to heaven with the light smoke and go to meet your mother. ”

When Ling Feng heard this, his face showed a sad expression, and he muttered, "How can this be?"

Ling Ziyang said with relief: "You are also studying medicine, you should know your father's physical condition the best, the flowers bloom, life and death, the way of heaven dictates, there is nothing to blame, you don't have to be too sad." The medical skills I taught you are the ancestral skills of our Ling family, and no matter what you do in the future, you must not forget your roots. ”

Ling Feng had tears in the corners of his eyes, wiped them and said, "Okay father, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely carry forward our Ling family's medical skills." ”

Ling Ziyang smiled slightly, took out two things from his arms, a scroll and a jade pendant, handed them to him, and said solemnly: "After your father leaves, you must rush to Luoxian Gate as soon as possible to participate in their entrance examination for accepting apprentices once a year, you are talented and intelligent, and you will definitely live up to my expectations." When you get there, hand over the scroll and the jade pendant to an elder named Wan Tianshu, who is worthy of his father and brother, and will take good care of you when he sees the token. Remember, this scroll must not be opened without permission, otherwise there will be endless trouble. ”

When Ling Feng heard him say this, he didn't dare to be careless, and tied the jade pendant around his neck, sealed the scroll with a bag, and hid it in his arms. Only then did he say: "Dad, don't worry, what you explain, the child will also be completed when he goes to the soup." ”

Ling Ziyang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Feng'er, I thought about it again and again, I feel that your blood is extraordinary, your talent is extraordinary, he will not be a thing in the pool, and his future achievements are immeasurable, you must not be buried in such deep mountains and old forests, the outside world is still waiting for you to break into." Although you inherited your mother's appearance, born very handsome, but the temperament is very similar to me, walking in the world can not let yourself suffer, encounter resentful things, can endure it, if you can't bear it, let it go, the world is troubled, it is better to do it casually, but it is to be worthy of yourself. What you think is right, no matter what others think, as long as your heart thinks it is right, you can go on with confidence. ”

Ling Feng said: "The children have remembered. ”

Ling Ziyang continued: "For my father's cultivation, there is nothing left for you, only the soul blade that has been sealed for many years at home, it is transformed by the wood essence of ten thousand years, it is very rare, after you apprentice to Luo Xian, you can learn the method of refining weapons, you can stimulate the potential of this sword, it is said that if it can be refined, it is a peerless artifact." I have nothing to worry about my father's life, I just want to pursue your mother as soon as possible, but I can't rest assured that you are twelve years old this year, just in time for the age when Luoxian Gate will recruit disciples a month later, plus you have been very well-behaved and lovable since you were a child, and I can rest assured that I will act in the future. ”

After speaking, a trace of sadness appeared on the old man's face, and he said slowly: "I don't regret the scriptures, I just hate being too hurried." A pair of eyes suddenly looked far away, as if seeing a blue-haired woman smiling in the midst of thousands of flowers, as if in a different world.

Ling Feng listened to it in his ears, only felt that the words were full of inexplicable desolation and sadness, seeing his father's smile frozen on his face, he didn't speak for a long time, so he called "Daddy", but Ling Ziyang didn't react, he didn't move, he shouted softly again, it was still like this, and he stretched his finger under his snort, without breath, it turned out that he had passed away for a long time.

Ling Feng finally couldn't hold it anymore and threw himself into Ling Ziyang's arms, tears streaming out of his eyes.
