Celestial Celestial Calendar, 1739, October 17.

The east of the Tianxing Continent, Qingliang Country, Fengwen Prefecture.

In the whistling north wind, the late autumn sun shone on my body, and I only felt a little warm.

A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old was walking slowly along this country road with an ox cart.

He wore a hat, a blue cotton robe, and a black ribbon around his waist, and sat cross-legged on the frame. Holding a slippery branch in his hand, he didn't shout, and let the old cow walk slowly with four hooves.

On the frame lay an old man with a withered face, lying peacefully on a haystack, looking at a small lark flying in the sky.

But it was Su Wenlie and the people of Zhifeng Dao.

Su Wenlie found a small village at the foot of Mangshan Mountain, and originally planned to buy an ox cart for the road at several times the price, but he didn't want to be recognized in the village.

In the past few years, he often insisted on his father to go to the small village at the foot of the mountain to collect fruits and give them to him, but he didn't remember the villagers, but the villagers remembered him. found out that it was the son of the Su family, and the old and young of a village rushed up, invited them to the village, and asked them to keep the way in and out of the village, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and they also took out the best food and drink.

After a period of panic, Su Wenlie learned that this village was actually exiled from other places, and because of the Su family's reception and care for several years, they survived steadily in this mountain.

Su Wenlie had never seen such a formation, and under the advice of the master, he comforted everyone with red eyes, telling them that the Su family's great revenge was about to be avenged, so that they could live with peace of mind and not dwell on this matter too much.

Before leaving, the small village forced out this ox cart and gave it to their master and apprentice for two substitutes, and they would rather die than receive a penny.

Su Wenlie was helpless, secretly wrote down this kindness, and at the foot of the winding mountain, slowly embarked on the road to Qingliang Kingdom.

It's just that in this short period of more than 100 miles, the two of them never expected that they would rush for more than half a month to enter the territory of Fengwen Prefecture, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, it is really difficult to walk.

In addition to eating, drinking, and resting along the way, Su Wenlie sat on the ox cart and almost kept running the exercises, and occasionally changed to practice the Blood Flame Mantra.

Although he had almost no chance to test his strength along the way, he could clearly feel that his current self was only about twice as strong as before, and his hearing and eyesight could obviously feel more sensitive, and he didn't feel anything about speed and reflexes.

"Wen Lie, how far have you come now?"

Hearing Shizun's question, Wen Lie stopped exercising, estimated in his heart, and replied: "Back to Shizun, we have walked almost three miles from Pingqing Village, if the blacksmith master is right, we should arrive a mile and a half ahead." ”

Su Wenlie and the others rested at the place called Pingqing Village not long ago, bought some food, drink and dry food, inquired about the way ahead, and continued on their way.

Now it has taken an estimated two quarters of an hour to walk three miles.

The people who simply folded the wind had already said before, there was no need to be in a hurry for this trip, let Su Wenlie just let the old cow do and practice.

The little lark above his head suddenly squeaked sharply and landed on Su Wenlie's shoulder.

Su Wenlie turned his head to look at it and found that it was shaking its body slightly, as if it was in extreme fear.

"Su Jump, what's wrong with you?"

Su Jumping is the name Su Wenlie gave to the little lark.

Because the little lark may have regarded himself as his father, Su Wenlie let it take his surname, and he always jumped around on the ox cart all day long, so he simply took the name Su Jumping.

When the Folding Wind Daoist heard Wen Lie's words, he turned his body and looked at Su Jumping on his shoulder, also with a puzzled face.

Before Su Wenlie had time to think about it, he felt a huge wind rushing overhead, followed by a hot pain in his shoulder, and in Su Jumping's panicked scream, it had been grabbed by a pair of sharp claws, and was about to turn to fly towards the sky.

There was no chance to be stunned at all, Su Wenlie subconsciously stretched out his right arm and grabbed the bird's leg.

He didn't even know how he did it, as if his mind had just thought of the idea, and his body followed suit.

A burst of power that did not match the size of the body was transmitted from that leg, and Su Wenlie was almost about to restrain it, so he hurriedly stretched out his other hand in fright, and dragged the giant bird with both hands.

After pulling it down hard, Su Wenlie saw the bird's appearance clearly.

On the whole, it should be a huge eagle, with a curved upper mouth, a pair of eyes that are unusually sharp, and brown feathers neatly attached to its body, but the roots of its wings are glowing with a hint of fiery red, and there is a little brilliance between the tail feathers. A pair of thick claws are clutching Su Jumping at the moment and refusing to give up.

It was still occasionally spreading its wings and fluttering, trying to struggle out of Su Wenlie's hands, but found that it couldn't break free, and slammed towards the top of Su Wenlie's head.

Su Wenlie tugged at its legs, pulled it away a little, and tilted his head sideways to avoid the swoop of one of its wings.

"Master, why is this thief old eagle so strong?"

The man squinted at the scene in front of him, his face a little serious.

"This is not an ordinary old eagle, this is the Lei Yan Eagle, also known as the Wind Chasing Lei Yan Eagle, it is the most sold pet demon beast of the Miscellaneous Demon Sect, this Lei Yan Eagle appears here, and it is likely that there are monks nearby. ”

As soon as the words of the people who folded the wind road fell, they saw a cloud of smoke and dust appear on the hill not far from the road, and it seemed that a huge beast was rushing towards it.

Su Wenlie was secretly a little wary, and the master on the frame also slowly sat up, laboriously pulled out Su Jumper from Lei Yandiao's claws, and carefully held it in the palm of his hand.

Fortunately, Su Yueyue was only frightened, trembling in panic, but he was not hurt, but Su Wenlie's shoulder was broken a few holes, and there were faint traces of blood seeping out.

"Master, what should I do?"

Seeing that Shizun rescued Su Jumping, Su Wenlie was a lot relieved, but seeing from a distance that the giant beast was coming from far and near, he felt a little bottomless in his heart, and hurriedly asked Shizun.

"Let this Lei Yan Eagle go, now we are just mortals, and the other party will not be entangled with us too much. ”

"Good. Su Wenlie has always been obedient to his master, and when he heard what his master said, he immediately let go of his hands.

The thunder flame eagle was free, and he cried angrily, fluttering his wings upwards and flying a few feet high, but he refused to leave, hovering back and forth in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, with a large cloud of flying dust, the giant beast stopped not far from the ox cart.

Su Wenlie quickly stretched out his hands, grabbed the reins with all his strength again, and struggled to stabilize the old cow who was about to turn around and break free.

It seemed that it was the situation that had been discovered, and a loud whistle was remembered above the beast, and then a pretty girl jumped off the beast's back.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, and Su Wenlie looked closely, only to realize that the giant beast sitting firmly behind the girl was a giant beast in the shape of an earth dragon, but the sense of patchwork in its entire body was extremely strong.

Look at the girl in front of me again, but see that she is wearing a sky blue cardigan embroidered with plum blossoms, with a layer of moon-white smoke on the outside, and a piece of animal skin tied to her left arm is very abrupt.

She has a standard-sized almond face, phoenix eyes like autumn water rippling with layers of seductive ripples, a pair of starry eyes dotted with a small nose, and a slightly pursed mouth, looking up, the white and red face is really not powdered and the color is like the morning glow reflecting the snow. Her thick black hair was simply pulled up, and the rest hung down to the side of her neck, and a small turquoise gem hung from her forehead, which was just rightly embellished. Two brass bells hung from their waists, making a tinkling sound as they moved with their footsteps.

Lei Yandiao, who was hovering in the sky, heard the whistle, and reluctantly fell down and stood on the girl's left shoulder, stalking his neck, and rubbing it on the top of the girl's head very closely.

The old cow seemed to sense that the giant beast would not come any closer, and calmed down a little, staring there at a pair of large bull's eyes.

The girl on the opposite side stepped forward with an embarrassed face, learned the etiquette of the people in the rivers and lakes, and clenched her fists nondescriptly.

"The little woman is domesticating this stupid eagle, but she didn't expect to be accidentally flown so far away by it to mess around, this little brother seems to have been scratched by it?"

Putting down his hands, as soon as he looked up, he saw the hole in Su Wenlie's shoulder oozing blood.

The girl continued to walk forward and took out a jade bottle from her bosom.

Su Wenlie casually looked at the shoulder injury, but he didn't feel much pain.

"It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin. ”

Looking at Su Wenlie's indifferent appearance, the girl didn't think much about it, and directly stuffed the jade bottle into the young man's hand.

"I have some medicine powder here for the treatment of trauma, little brother, please accept it. ”

The moment a small jade bottle appeared in his hand, a small crystal jade hand touched his palm, making Su Wenlie's entire body feel like it was overpowered, and his delicate face turned red to the base of his neck in an instant.

Standing in one place, the girl, who was obviously half a head taller than Su Wenlie, looked at the young man's flushed face curiously, and before she could ask, she heard Lei Yandiao on her shoulder cry a few times.

The car behind the boy was followed by a "poof" laugh.

Zhifeng Daoren looked at this pair of young boys and girls with a smile, and he was also helpless about his apprentice's temperament, but when he remembered the existence of a little aunt, he could only shake his head secretly and didn't think about it anymore.

"Which one are you from?" Seeing that the girl stretched out her hand to appease Lei Yandiao, Shizun asked with a smile.

The old master had been hiding behind the young man and was silent, but then he suddenly showed his head and asked such a sentence, which surprised the girl. Could this master be a cultivator?

"The younger generation of the instrument is a Situ dream, dare to ask the seniors?"

"Situ girl, how is the little old man of your Situ Liang doing? I see that your earth dragon puppet is fierce and majestic, and the girl in last year's puppet competition must have won a good ranking, right?"

This unsightly old master actually knew the name of his grandfather Situ Liang, and listening to his tone, he seemed to be very familiar with his grandfather Situ Liang, and he also knew that the secret book of the sect of the Instrument Sect, also called the puppet competition, was held every ten years, because only the Instrument Sect participated, and few people in the outside world knew about it.

It seems that this old-timer must have a deep relationship with the Instrument Sect.

At this time, Su Wenlie, who was standing opposite her, moved to the side embarrassedly.

Standing in front of such a girl with a red face, although he doesn't have any weird thoughts, he just feels very uncomfortable. And listening to Shizun's words, he seemed to be familiar with the elders behind the girl, so he quietly let Shizun out.

The girl took half a step back, and formally saluted the two of them with monk etiquette: "The junior miscellaneous instrument is a Situ dream, I have seen my seniors and my junior brothers. ”

Shizun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Situ girl, you don't need to be so polite." ”

Su Wenlie, who was on the side, was flustered and also returned the salute to the girl Situ Meng, "I've seen senior sister." ”

"Tell me, what ranking did you get last year?"

Shizun once again asked about Situ Meng's ranking in the competition, which made Su Wenlie also curious.

Shizun only told himself the information of the Miscellaneous Sect Sect, and as for the Instrument Sect Sect, it was the first time he had heard of it.

As for what that puppet contest was, he didn't know anything about it.

"Back to the seniors, the juniors only got a mere thirty-six. ”

Situ Meng lowered his head a little embarrassed.

Su Wenlie stood beside him with a stunned expression, stretched out his hand and gently took Su Jumpy from his master's hand, and gently comforted him. Anyway, he doesn't understand what these things mean, so he just honestly be a listener.

"Thirty-six? Thirty-six is a very good result, let alone more than 10,000 people participating in the competition, right?

Hearing this, Su Wenlie suddenly realized that he seemed to have received more than 10,000 critical hits.

But thinking that he had just cultivated, he was relieved.

The people of the Wind Folding Dao looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise, and they really didn't see that this girl was able to win the thirty-sixth place at such an old age.

You must know that although there are only three inheritance families of Wu, Situ and the eldest grandson, because it is a family of cultivation, it has been spreading over the years, and there are one or two thousand people in the first layer of disciples, plus the number of foreign disciples who do not know how many, the number of participating disciples may exceed 10,000.

In particular, the maximum limit of this puppet contest is fifty years old, even if it is estimated that the monk's appearance is generally younger than the actual age, this girl will not exceed fifteen.

She competed at such a young age, but she was still able to win thirty-six places among more than 10,000 people, which had to surprise the people of Orifudo.

"But my brother finished eighth, and I'm thirty-six. ”

The girl pursed her mouth, with a look of pity and hatred.

"Huh, is your brother so powerful? The master can't help but ask again, how old is your brother?"

"Hmph, my brother is sixteen years old, and he still has to compete with me for a place, and he doesn't know how to be ashamed. ”

It turned out that her brother was sixteen years old. Su Wenlie's heart was a little balanced, but suddenly it seemed like something was choked in his throat.

Perhaps, God thinks that 10,000 critical hits are not ruthless enough, so let's have another 10,000 points.

Her brother is sixteen years old, so what about this girl?
