Chapter 21: Alarm Bells
Liu Yi sat in front of his house for a while, then went back to the house to rest, lay on the bed, and Liu Yi slowly fell asleep.
He sat in a dream, and that was the first time he learned to hunt with his father.
Liu Biao led him to the woods near the village, and at first Liu Biao asked him to try to hunt a hare in front of him.
Liu Yi slowly raised his arm and aimed the bow and arrow at the rabbit, this was his first hunt, and his father usually asked him to contact the stake.
Today, he was a little nervous in front of the living creatures, and the bow and arrow aimed at the rabbit trembled slightly, and his breathing was a little chaotic.
Liu Biao put his hand on Liu Yi's feather arrow and gave him a calm look, and Liu Yi calmed down.
He adjusted his breathing and aimed at the rabbit's head to pursue an arrow to kill, which was naturally taught to him by Liu Biao.
Rabbits are a good prey that are not a threat, but if they encounter large animals, hunters are likely to become prey.
Therefore, the pursuit of killing with one arrow is the safest choice, the arrow is aimed at the rabbit's head, and Liu Yi did not hesitate to shoot an arrow.
The feather arrow swished at the rabbit, and the arrow was inserted directly into the rabbit's head, and the rabbit fell directly, and its limbs twitched a few times before it was completely out of breath.
Liu Biao took Liu Yi to the rabbit, looked at the dead rabbit Liu Biao carried a rabbit leg and laughed and said to Liu Yi: "Good job, son, let's go back to eat rabbit meat today." ”
Liu Yi was also very happy, he shot so accurately the first time, and a feeling of confidence arose.
The two walked back to the mountain village, and at night, Liu Yi felt very different from before eating rabbit meat, thinking that this was the prey he had hit, and he felt satisfied.
In the days that followed, Liu Yi didn't go hunting with Liu Biao anymore, and the last time it was the nature of the child, and after the curiosity passed, he gave up when he became interested in other things.
In an instant, the world changed color and the scene around him changed, it was a rainy day, Liu Yi was in a broken mountain village, drenched in light rain.
Skylark, Fan Yan, Ji Yunxi, and several people surrounded him, and Liu Yi buried the big bow engraved with Biao characters in the soil, and he didn't know whether it was tears or rain on his face.
Suddenly it was pitch black, there was darkness all around, and there was nothing Liu Yi looked around in confusion.
Liu Biao appeared in front of him like a phantom, he walked step by step towards the darkness in front of him, Liu Yi quickly chased after him and shouted: "Dad, Dad!"
Liu Yi roared frantically, but Liu Biao didn't hear it, he walked straight forward, Liu Biao walked very slowly, Liu Yi was running wildly, but he couldn't catch up.
Liu Yi ran desperately and couldn't catch up, he ran for a long time, he seemed to be tired, his voice was hoarse, he couldn't hold on anymore, he fell to the ground, he stretched out his hand weakly, but he couldn't catch anything.
Liu Yi woke up from his dream in the early morning, opened his eyes and woke up, last night's dream made him think of the past and his family again.
The room was empty, and the window was not bright yet, Liu Yi was used to getting up early, and he was about to get up to practice, when there was a knock on the door.
Outside the door, the voice of a lark came: "Are you up?"
Liu Yi looked surprised when he heard this voice, and suddenly jumped out of bed and rushed to the door, he opened the door.
Opening the door, the lark stood outside the door and looked at Liu Yi with a smile, Liu Yi said with surprise in his eyes: "Master, you are back." ”
The lark nodded and said, "I came back last night, and I didn't look for you when I heard Qi Kun say that you had gone back to rest." ”
Liu Yi was a little excited at this time, and he asked, "Master, where have you been these days, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”
The lark said, "Since you are up, let's talk in another place, it's not convenient to talk here." ”
Liu Yi followed the lark to the locust tree, and it was very quiet in the early morning.
Sitting cross-legged under the locust tree, the lark opened his mouth and said, "Disciple, how have you practiced Bagua palm during this time?"
Liu Yi was a little depressed when he heard this, and said: "There are still many things I don't understand in Baguazhang, but Uncle Qi will guide me during this time, but the disciples are dull and don't make much progress." ”
Skylark said gently: "You don't have to be anxious, what you lack is an opportunity to practice hand-to-hand, you have watched the martial arts competition, what do you think of the strength of those disciples." ”
When Liu Yi heard this, his eyes flashed and he said, "Master, they are all so powerful, especially that Senior Brother Li Jinting, Senior Brother Jiang with so much strength can't beat him." ”
Skylark whispered: "Jin Court is not in the same realm as him, Jiang Kun is naturally not his opponent, Jin Ting's talent is not even as good as mine, and the master is still refining his body at his age." ”
Liu Yi's eyes flashed with a different color, and the lark continued: "For the teacher, go find a disciple to practice with you today, so that your exercises will progress faster, come and give the teacher a set of Bagua palms, and see how you practice." ”
Liu Yi snorted and fought.
Liu Yi's steps and the angle of the palm were a little problematic, the lark pointed him out one by one, and the time slowly passed, and the two went to have breakfast together, and Liu Yi had to go to the field to be busy again.
The lark went to a room, which was above an attic, and the lark pushed open the attic door and went up to the third floor.
There was a long table on the third floor, and there were already six people sitting on the edge of the table, the five elders, and Zhang Minghao, the head of the Taiji Sect, the senior brother of the lark.
Seeing the arrival of the lark, Zhang Minghao said: "Senior brother, you are here, sit down." ”
The lark nodded to a few people and sat on Zhang Minghao's right.
Zhang Minghao saw him sit down and said, "Senior brother, how did you go out to investigate?"
The lark said with a solemn face: "I didn't find anything useful, I only know that there are people missing in the rivers and lakes one after another without a trace." ”
The lark clenched his right fist and continued: "I won't give up, I don't believe that this group of guys is so special in their clothing and there is no trace. ”
Zhang Minghao looked at the lark and said, "Senior brother, why don't you send Xu Feng to help you check." ”
The lark said: "No, you can't send him out now, I'm afraid that if that group of black-clothed people find out and attack the disciples in our sect here, Xu Feng will let him follow the disciples who are going out just in case." ”
"It's good that this can also protect the safety of the disciples in the sect, but it's a pity that we old guys are also old, otherwise we will find out those who dare to attack our sect even if we turn it upside down. The person who spoke was an elder with a fiery temperament, but they had already passed the age of 100 years and still had not made progress in their cultivation, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
The lark said: "Elders don't have to be like this, the lark believes that a few elders will be able to condense the golden pill further. ”
The elder's face was a little depressed and said: "How can it be so easy, now there are only 10,000 people in the entire Jiang Kingdom who have cultivated the Golden Pill, it can be seen how difficult it is, the future of the sect is still in the hands of the younger generation, Li Jinting has reached the level of qi refining at a young age, and the future is immeasurable." ”
At this point, the elder's face became bright.
Zhang Minghao also had a look of relief on his face, and his disciples were also happy to be praised by him, but he naturally couldn't show his integrity at the meeting: "A few elders rest assured that I will cultivate Li Jinting into the pride of the Taiji Sect." ”
The elder nodded with a sigh, and then all five of them stood up, and one of them said, "You can arrange the affairs of the sect, and a few of us old guys will not participate." ”
Zhang Minghao and Skylark stood up and sent the five of them away with fists in both hands.
After seeing the five elders leave, Zhang Minghao asked, "Senior brother, how is the cultivation of that young man Liu Yi you brought back?"
The lark said: "Liu Yi is not talented but he is extremely diligent, but he has hatred at a young age, alas, senior brother, I am ashamed that Liu Yi will definitely teach him well, don't worry." ”
Zhang Minghao looked at the lark and knew that he had a knot in his heart, but he couldn't help him resolve it, Zhang Minghao sighed and said, "Senior brother, remember to tell me any questions, I will help you." ”
The lark looked at him gratefully and said, "I remember Senior Brother. ”
Zhang Minghao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you go and arrange for Xu Feng to protect the disciples of the sect." ”
The lark nodded and walked down, the lark looked at the back of the senior brother at the top of the stairs, he looked at the scenery of the entire Taiji Sect from the attic, he knew that he also carried a lot, so he would do his best not to let the senior brother worry about his affairs.
Shen Shi Liu Yi was busy in the field, he was deworming the vegetables in the field, and suddenly "dang, dang, dang," a bell rang through the sect.
Master told him that this was the alarm bell of the square, and that it would only ring in times of emergency, and when he heard the bell, he would go to the square and assemble.
He quickly put down the tools in his hand and ran to the square, at this moment everyone from the entire sect had gathered in the square, and saw Zhang Minghao standing in the center of the ring with his hands behind his back, and the two were waiting for everyone to gather.
At this moment, there was a blank look on everyone's face, and I didn't know what was going on, Liu Yi walked into the crowd and walked over when he saw Shen Ling.
