At night, the sky was dark and starry, Liu Yi and his party lived in Liu Yi's house, a cluster of firelight flickered in the courtyard of Liu Yi's house, and several people sat around the bonfire.

The whole village was basically beaten to tatters, and they did not take any of the belongings left by the deceased villagers, and all of them were buried in the dust.

For example, the bow of Liu Yi's father's relic was also thrown away by the white-masked man when he fled, and Liu Yi buried it with his mother.

Liu Yi learned that the empty phase and the others had come here from Jijia Village, so Liu Yi asked them if they had seen their father.

But the empty phase just sighed and said, "There is nothing left in that village, only a sea of fire. ”

The empty phase didn't say it explicitly, but Liu Yi understood what he meant, Liu Yi just clenched his fist when he heard this, and then let go and went to the house to collect some things that could be taken away.

Liu Yi only took some necessities such as fire folds and the like, and the rest remained in the house without moving, and he had nothing to take with him.

Several people in the courtyard sat together, and there were four horses tied to the horses of Lin Qingchen and others outside the door.

There are a few rabbits roasted on the fire, which were called by Ji Yunxi and a few people, and several big men and teenagers are all a little the same and can't cook.

So I found some spices and hunted these rabbits, one for each of them for their dinner.

Watching the rabbit meat slowly become cooked red, exuding a moist oily shine, and the fragrance slowly emanated.

Of course, a few people don't care about eating these alone, Fan Yan and a few people go out to travel with dry food and wine, and they can be regarded as a full meal with rabbit meat and water and wine.

The rabbit meat was still roasting, everyone was speechless, and the atmosphere was a little dull, so the lark asked: "This place is surrounded by mountains and is remote, I don't know why a few people came here?"

The lark has always had this question in his heart, and now An Ning threw out the question in his heart.

Lin Qingchen said: "That's the case, a few of us don't know each other, because of some misunderstandings in the tavern, the inn was beaten to a tattered and later the misunderstanding was resolved, and they became friends and traveled everywhere together, passing by Jijia Village, and followed the footprints to this place." ”

"At that time, a wallet was stolen by a thief, and the kid was mediocre, and I didn't even get on him because of his unusually fast foot strength, and then he ran to the inn, and I chased after him, and as a result, I overturned Ji Yunxi's wine and food, and Ji Yunxi and I quarreled and fought, but I couldn't ignore the thief, so I didn't have a few tricks with him, so I went to chase the thief and smashed Lin Daochang's table, and Lin Daochang's meal was not served and he was also added to fight, so we fought back and forth, but the thief didn't care about it and almost let him run, but fortunately, the empty phase monk helped me catch the thief and we resolved the misunderstanding, became friends, but seeing that the inns around them have changed beyond recognition, only after losing money, they traveled together and came here," Fan Yan said the reason for the incident with a somewhat embarrassed face.

"If it weren't for your reckless collision at that time, how would you hum like this," Ji Yunxi said with a cold face, Fan Yan looked embarrassed.

At this time, the plane came out to relieve the siege and said: "Oh, the few donors of the Buddha are frank and honest, and disputes are inevitable, but there is no need to mention it again after the matter has passed, eat first, eat well, sleep well, and send a few little guys back to the sect to settle down tomorrow." ”

After the empty phase finished speaking, he picked up the dry food and gnawed it, the monks don't eat meat, and the same is true for the empty phase, so it is enough to eat some dry food and water.

"You monks really can't figure it out if you don't eat meat, it's really hard for yourself to not be able to eat such delicious things, if I don't have wine and meat, it's really boring. After Fan Yan finished speaking, he took a big bite of rabbit meat, and the rest of the people laughed when they heard Fan Yan's words.

The void said: "Amitabha Buddha's Buddhist cultivation pays attention to compassion, killing is also a great transgression, all sentient beings are life, a worm and a rabbit are like this, if you eat meat and fish, the mouth karma is not pure, and the six roots are impure, and the demonic obstacles hinder the meditation and practice for nature, and it is difficult to travel............

The empty phase was about to continue to say that eating meat is an obstacle to the practice of Buddhism, and he should also persuade everyone to eat less meat and do less killing, but before he finished speaking, Fan Yan interrupted him.

"Yes, yes, master, you are right, master, don't continue to talk about it, I haven't eaten for so long, master must be hungry, eat bread quickly," Fan Yan's straightforward temperament directly interrupted the empty phase.

"Hey, Amitabha," sighed emptily, stopped speaking, and concentrated on eating bread.

"The village of Jijia Village has become a sea of fire, presumably it must have been done by this white-masked man and his group, we extinguished the fire, the corpse has been burned beyond recognition, and we can't distinguish the original face, these demon sects have harmed people's lives and killed innocents indiscriminately, and they should really be uprooted to avoid the scourge. Lin Qingchen said angrily.

Liu Yi didn't say anything when he heard this, but just looked at the rabbit meat in front of him and quickly gnawed on it, as if he was holding a man with a white mask.

After eating, Liu Yi and a few little guys have been called to the room to rest, while a few of them are resting outside.

It is also necessary to take turns to keep vigil to avoid the white-masked man in the day from bringing people back to kill him, and the fire in the courtyard is beating, and several people are sitting around and breathing cross-legged.

The lark looked at a few people and said, "Today's incident started because of me, those little guys saw the death of their relatives with their own eyes today, and they already have the seeds of hatred in their hearts, whether they embark on the path of cultivation in the future, it will not be beneficial to them after all, the lark is here to ask you to lead a few of them to the right path, don't go astray because of this matter." ”

The lark clasped his hands into fists and asked a few people, Lin Qingchen said: "This is natural, although we are not a big sect, we still know these truths, but these things cannot be rushed, we can only take them slowly, guide them, and let them get on the right path in the future, and not be controlled by hatred." ”

"I hope I can teach them well," said Lin Qingchen, but the lark couldn't help but be a little worried............

At sunrise in the early morning, there were no villagers in Huanshan Village, and only 50 graves stood behind the village.

The sun also rose slowly, and Liu Yi and the others simply ate some dry food in the morning and set off.

Huanshan Village is surrounded by mountains, only take the mountain road, the mountain road is narrow, it is difficult to move forward, Liu Yi and several people are also cautious on horseback.

If the horse accidentally misses its front hooves, it will fall off the cliff and there will be no bones left.

On the mountain road, Fan Yan, Ji Yunxi, and Lin Qingchen each sat on horses with the little disciples who were newly admitted to the sect yesterday and walked in turn.

The empty phase walked in front alone, this empty phase got up early to do morning classes, and recited the Buddhist scriptures in the courtyard, there was no wooden fish, no bell ringing, but the voice was as loud as a bell.

Everyone was dragged from their sleep, so some of them packed up and set off early.

Several people rode forward, Liu Yi and Skylark were very different, they were not horses but a black bear.

The black bear walked slowly to the end with the lark on all fours, and the black bear was called out of the cave by the lark.

I don't know how he domesticated this beast, and the others don't want to ask deeply, after all, this may be someone else's secret method.

Liu Yi and the others were naturally not surprised to see Xiao Hei, and Lin Qingchen and the others were also a little surprised, so they were no longer curious, after all, there are so many talented people in this river and lake.

But when their horses saw this, they panicked, so they each comforted their own horses, which is the nature of animals.

The four horses were about to break the rope that tied them, and they finally calmed the horses down, but they didn't dare to let the horses see the black bear that stood up as big as Fan Yan, so they had to let the lark walk at the end.

After Liu Yi got on the bear's back, he carefully looked at the scenery on the mountain road, and looked down at the emerald green mountains and forests, birds flying and crying in the forest, faintly monkeys flickering and moving in the forest, and wild beasts roaring.

Liu Yi remembered that he used to sneak away to play in the forest, and adults always said that the forest was dangerous, but the child was naughty by nature, and he ran out by himself, although he went home safe and sound.

But he was also beaten by his father, and now from a high place, this deep forest is indeed dangerous, not to mention the beast, he is afraid that he will not be able to find his way back if he walks away alone.

Liu Yi retracted his thoughts, retracted his eyes, and no longer looked at the mountain forest or the mountain village under the mountain forest.

Looking down at this big bear, Liu Yi showed a curious look.

On the back of the black bear, he was completely excited and a little scared, after all, this is a fierce and abnormal beast that Mr. has taught, and today he actually rode on its back, and Liu Yi felt very incredible.

Liu Yi looked at the black bear's undulating back, looked back at the lark and asked, "Can I touch it?"

"Yes, as long as it doesn't hurt him," the lark replied with a smile.

After Liu Yi got confirmation, he stretched out his right hand and tentatively touched its neck with his fingertips, and the black bear turned his head to look at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked at the black bear's dark brown eyes and was a little scared, but the black bear just glanced at it and turned it around all of a sudden, seeing this, Liu Yi put down his hanging heart, exhaled, and put his whole palm on it and stroked it gently.

The black bear also let out a low roar similar to enjoyment.

Liu Yi showed a happy smile on his face, and the corners of the lark's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile when he saw Liu Yi being so happy.

"Master, where are we going?" Tie Zhu asked as he looked at Fan Yan.

"Of course, it's back to the sect, let's go to Shaocheng first, and then go to the sect, and then we will be separated, after all, the location of our sect is different. ”

"Shaocheng, I heard the village gentleman say that it is a very big city, where the houses are as high as a hill. Liu Yi made a stroke with his hand, looked at the lark, and asked expectantly.

"Haha, there are houses as high as a hill," the lark replied with a slight smile, and Liu Yi was even more looking forward to entering Shaocheng after hearing this.

The mountain road is rugged, the road down the mountain is very difficult, you need to be careful, after walking for an hour, I finally walked down the mountain and walked out of the mountain village.

Then the group began to accelerate, Liu Yi and the others had never sat on a horse, let alone a fast horse, Liu Yi began to feel a little uncomfortable and hugged the hair on the back of the black bear's neck.

Later, I slowly got used to it, and I began to raise my head and slowly experience the feeling of the wind blowing on my cheeks.

The lark saw it in his eyes, and since he saw him, he felt that this child had great courage, and it was unknown what effect it would have on him in the future.

The lark looked at the other teenagers, Zhao Tiezhu was lying on his stomach and hugged the horse and didn't dare to raise his head, Haowei and Zhenghao were slowly adapting to the acceleration process, looking at the children of different shapes, the lark thought that they still had too many things to adapt to and learn.

After about ten minutes of walking, the group stopped, because in front of them was a dark and burned village with nothing left.

Several people got off their horses and saw a big stone carved in front of the village with the words Jijia Village.

This is the Jijia Village that the white-masked men came to before entering Liu Yi's village, and it is also the place where Liu Yi's father, Liu Biao, died.

Everyone dismounted and walked as they looked at the burned village, the corpses were no longer visible, all the bodies had turned into pitch black, and the houses had collapsed and were not intact.

The group could not bear to see these people left out like this, so they dug a pit and made a grave for each of them.

Standing in front of the finished tomb, everyone lowered their heads and felt a little uncomfortable, and there were dozens of people in the tomb of the village chief.

Lin Qingchen said: "Let's go, the deceased is like Si, they are all gone, and there is no need for us to stay any longer." ”

After Lin Qingchen finished speaking, he pulled Zhenghao on the horse, Liu Yi didn't know where his father's body was, so he knelt down in the village and kowtowed three times, then followed the others to get on the horse and continue to set off.

Leaving the village, several people ran away for a long time, Liu Yi and a few children were silent, it seemed that the scenery of Jijia Village made everyone a little depressed.

After walking for another two hours, there were no villages or towns, only forests, which showed that Liu Yi's village was really very remote.

Finally, not long after, an inn appeared in front of them, and when they saw the outline of the inn, several people decided to rest here first, so everyone stopped.

"Liu Yi, you come down first, the old man is going to let Xiao Hei return to the mountains and forests, and then go forward is a crowded and dense place, so it is inconvenient for Xiao Hei to go forward with us." ”

After listening to the lark's words, Liu Yi walked down from Xiao Hei, looked at the huge and sturdy black bear, touched its body, and whispered, "Goodbye Xiao Hei," and stepped back and stepped away.

Several other teenagers also touched the black bear and said goodbye to him.

Then the lark leaned into Xiao Hei's ear and said: "Xiao Hei has troubled you these days, go back, you can return to the mountain forest by yourself, and if you have a fate, the old man will go back to see you in the future." ”

The lark didn't know how, this black bear actually understood human speech, and it roared in a low voice, and then turned away.

Liu Yi watched Xiao Hei leave for a long time until he couldn't see his back.

The lark looked at Liu Yi and didn't say anything, until Liu Yi looked at the black bear's figure and disappeared, then touched his head and said, "Let's go, let's go to the inn to eat something, buy a horse, and then go on the road." ”

The group walked to the inn, and the horses of the others except Skylark and Liu Yi were led to the stable to graze and rest.

A few people looked up and saw that the words Laifu Inn were written on the door plaque on the inn, and several people walked in front and back.
