Chapter 3: Serendipity
"You're the only one here?" asked Weiyang.
The little boy lowered his head and played with the bamboo shoots without raising his head and said, "That's right." ”
"Where are your parents?"
"Dead".
"Dead! How did you die?"
"I was killed by the robbers, three years ago, a man with a scarred face broke into Qingyuan Town with a group of robbers and killed people when he saw them, and my parents died under the robbers' knives in order to protect me", the little boy's hands inadvertently pinched the bamboo shoots in half as he spoke, and Weiyang saw it in his eyes but his expression did not change in any way.
"Robbers, does the government care?"
The little boy listened to the question and looked at the bamboo shoots in his hand and reacted, his fierce eyes gradually regained his calmness and said: "Anyway, this incident also alarmed the imperial capital, at that time, the imperial capital sent many people to catch that group of bandits, but in the end it was still unsuccessful, I heard that many officers and soldiers died." ”
"Why didn't it succeed?" Weiyang had doubts in his heart, and he was also a little curious.
"I heard that the group of bandits can do evil magic, and the evil magic is very powerful, I heard the officers and soldiers who came back said in the inn, the heads of the group of bandits were cut to the ground, and they can still take them back by themselves, do you say their magic is powerful?"
Weiyang pondered for a moment and asked, "Where are those bandits now?"
"Thirty miles west of here, Burial Soul Ridge. The little boy looked at Weiyang suspiciously and said, "Why do you want to ask this, why do you want to go?" Then he waved his hand and said with a contemptuous look: "I advise you not to go, even so many people in the government can't do anything about that group of bandits, just with your current seemingly weak body, you don't look like people who can beat that group of bandits." Besides, why do you care about yourself when you're a poor showman?
"Poor Xiucai?!Xiaoyou, from which point does you see that I look like a poor Xiucai" The title of the little boy made Weiyang confused.
"What little friend, my name is Li Ergou, and everyone in the town calls me Ergouzi. Also, you passed out at the entrance of my hole, I helped you in, and I went through all over your body, except for this rotten book, you didn't have a single copper, and the sleeves were all tattered, and I personally fed the chicken soup that I had been reluctant to drink in your mouth. If you weren't a poor man and fainted, how could you have collapsed at the mouth of my cave? I'm your savior. Tell me how you will repay me from now on. Li Ergou said proudly while fiddling with the books that he took from Yang's hand.
Weiyang looked at Li Ergou with a smug and immature face, and walked down from the bed helplessly and said: "Li Shaoxia, I can't repay my great kindness, but the book in your hand is very important to me, please return it to me." Weiyang clenched his fists and said.
Li Ergou didn't think much about it and handed the book to Weiyang, just because Li Ergou often went to Wang Xiucai's house in Qingyuan Town to read all kinds of books since he was a child, and he saw that Wang Xiucai loved books like his life since he was a child, so Weiyang didn't pay too much attention when he asked for books.
When Weiyang took the book, Li Ergou said disdainfully: "There are so few words on this book, do you keep it with you?" Wang Xiucai's book is not known how many more words than yours, and I haven't seen him put it on his body."
"Such a few words?" asked Weiyang, puzzled.
Li Ergou replied proudly: "Yes, just when you were in a coma just now, I took a look at the book in your hand now, there are so few words, I only read it once and wrote it all down."
"You've written them all!" Weiyang asked, surprised
"yes, but it's only a dozen pages. ”
At this time, Weiyang's heart was not only surprised, but also a little surprised, although the number of words in this soul refining recipe is not much, but there are more than 3,000 words, the child in front of him, who seems to be only twelve or thirteen years old, can read it all once, and he can remember it all, which shows that his memory is amazing.
Weiyang slowly put away the soul refining technique, Li Ergou didn't care, just put the good bamboo shoots on the board and skillfully cut them into pieces with a kitchen knife, and said to Weiyang who was standing aside while cutting: "You." ”
Weiyang was stunned: "Call me."
"yes, I don't know your name for a long time?"
Weiyang was stunned for a moment and then said, "My name is Weiyang." ”
"Not .... Yang, look at you are also a down-and-out poor scholar and homeless, so you will be mixed with me in the future, and I will call you Lao Bai after seeing that you are white and tender, you will call me Li Ye, rest assured that as long as I have a bite to eat, you will definitely be indispensable. Li Ergou was full of confidence and patted his chest while promised, and at first glance he really looked like a boss.
When Li Ergou spoke, Weiyang couldn't believe what he heard, and these words still came out of the mouth of a milky little hairy child, Weiyang shook his head helplessly and was a little speechless, but then smiled and said, "Okay, Master Li." I'll mess with you from now on. ”
Li Ergou closed his mouth happily when he heard this, and said, "Come to Lao Bai, come and help me light the fire." ”
Weiyang smiled and said, "Okay, Master Li."
The dark hall
The waterfall formed by the blood in the mouths of the two dragon heads fell endlessly in the blood pools on both sides of the main hall, and the chairs formed by the skulls of hundreds of people in the center of the main hall. A man with a black mask said with no expression on his face: "The Four Slaughter Blood Killing Array, made of sacrifices made by five hundred boys and girls, not only did not kill Weiyang, but the formation was also destroyed, and the bloodthirsty beads were also lost, what do I want you to do with a group of waste?!" The masked man casually knocked the four people in the hall to the ground with four black lights in his hand, and a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, and they all got up and knelt down to beg for mercy.
The man at the head hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Sect Master, it's not that we are ineffective, but when the incident happened, no one expected that a sword qi would fall from the sky and directly shatter the formation." This kind of cultivation is necessary for the Great Perfection of the Immortals. It turned out that the masked man in front of the four of them was the Demon Sect Leader Li Xiangtian.
Li Xiangtian touched his chin and said, "Could it be him?"
Four people, you look at me, I look at you, and said in unison: "He !!."
"Yes, according to what you said, he must be right, and only he has the ability, boy, you wait for me, you destroy my magic circle and this revenge, I will let you repay it twice in the future. Then he waved his hand and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to pursue it, let's go down." ”
The four of them said: "Yes, the subordinates retired", and the guards who were guarding the side of the four people leaving the hall suddenly felt uncomfortable breathing, and their hands were stuck in their throats, and their whole bodies clicked, and after a while, they were motionless. Later, he stood motionless as if he was dead, and then said, "How are things going?"
Seeing this, Li Xiangtian quickly came down from the main hall and came to the guards and said, "Lord, we have failed. ”
"Defeated? The Four Massacres Blood Killing Array can't kill Weiyang?"
Originally, Weiyang had been unconscious from the bloodthirsty beads, but for some reason, a sword aura from outside the sky came and directly shattered the formation. When we came back to our senses, we were gone, and it was really unexpected."
"A sword penetrates, there are no more than three people in the Immortal Alliance who can have this strength, could it be him!".
"My subordinates also have such speculations, my lord, what should we do next?"
I saw that the black qi on the guard's body slowly disappeared, and the echo in the hall echoed and said: "From now on, don't act rashly, the deity has its own arrangements," the voice disappeared and the guard fell straight to the ground.
........
At this time, it was late at night, and after dinner, Li Ergou picked up some hay and leaves outside and slept on the ground not far from Weiyang's stone bed, and the snoring sound made people unable to sleep, but Weiyang did not fall asleep at this time, he slowly walked down from the stone bed, and pointed to a white light point in Li Ergou's Fengfeng acupoint. Li Ergou's snoring disappeared in an instant and he fell into a deep sleep, and Weiyang slowly walked out of the cave.
Looking at the stars in the sky, a white light shot directly into the sky and disappeared without a trace, and after about half a cup of tea, I saw a meteor from outside the sky coming rapidly towards Weiyang. After a while, the meteor fell at a distance of ten zhang from Weiyang, and the white light around him disappeared, and he looked at the white-clothed young man standing behind Weiyang outside the pavilion on the towering green peak.
The young man walked towards Weiyang with light steps, and the dead branches and leaves all over the ground did not make a sound, and the young man stopped at a distance of about ten steps from Weiyang and said, "Elder."
Weiyang didn't make any response to the behavior of the young man in white, but said calmly: "Bai Ling, thirty miles west of the town, there is a village, and there is a big flag in the village, and the word burial is written on the flag, this is the Burial Soul Ridge. It's full of demons who kill innocents indiscriminately, and you need to get rid of this scourge right away. The young man in white didn't speak, just nodded, and then turned into a streamer and disappeared in front of Weiyang's eyes.
Seeing the streamer in front of him disappear into the sky, Weiyang walked into the cave and returned to the stone bed to sit cross-legged, and just about to close his eyes and breathe, he saw that Li Ergou, who was sleeping like a dead pig, actually yawned, stretched his waist, turned over, and continued to sleep.
This move really surprised Weiyang, and he was accidentally surprised: "This kid can actually unlock the sleeping hole so quickly?!" Weiyang's gaze couldn't get off Li Ergou's body for a long time.
transferred, and after a long time, Weiyang said in his heart: "Soul refining technique....", then let go of the frowning brows and said with a smile: "Okay, maybe this is the will of heaven, you have the grace to save my life, maybe this is the opportunity for you and me." Then he came to Li Ergou's side and pressed his two fingers against Li Ergou's eyebrows, and countless sword moves and phantoms continued to enter Li Ergou's head, and Li Ergou's fingers were also unconsciously drawn in his sleep.
After a long time, Weiyang slowly withdrew his hand, and said softly with a satisfied smile on his face: "Yes, it's the same as I expected." ”
In the early morning, everything is silent, the sky is bright, the night is about to disappear, the dawn of the dawn slowly awakens the sleeping creatures, the breeze blows, a fresh, fragrant, elegant earthy smell is coming, Li Ergou stretched his waist and jumped up from the ground with an excited face to Weiyang on the stone bed and said: "Lao Bai, I want to tell you a great news." ”
Weiyang's pretended not to wake up, turned to his side, and said lazily to Li Ergou with his back: "What are you doing, Master Li? It's not dawn yet, let me sleep again." He yawned and went back to sleep.
Li Ergou saw that he was not angry, and shouted loudly: "Get up, Lao Bai." ”
A spirit in Weiyang jumped up from the bed and said, "Master Li, what's the matter?"
Li Ergou said excitedly: "Lao Bai, let me tell you, you Li Ye and I will fly from now on!"
Weiyang pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Master Li, what makes you so happy?"
Li Ergou said proudly: "Yesterday, the dream fairy taught me a set of incredible swordsmanship, and no one will dare to bully me from now on. ”
"Is it really that powerful?!"
"Don't you believe me?, wait, I'll show you. I saw the second dog walk out of the cave, picked up a branch and practiced the swordsmanship learned in the dream on the spot, although Weiyang who was standing on the side was expressionless, but he still nodded secretly in his heart in response.
After a stick of incense, Li Ergou came to Weiyang's side with sweat and panting after the drill and said, "How is it, do you believe it?"
Weiyang smiled and said: "I believe in Li Ye, Li Ye will be mixed with you from now on", Li Ergou jumped on a big stone and patted Weiyang's shoulder with his right hand and pretended to be old and said: "Don't worry, Li Ye will not treat you badly",
Facing Li Ergou's move, Wei Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Li, you have the swordsmanship taught by the immortals, which is a great joy." Why don't I have a treat today, and invite Li Ye to go to Qingyuan Town under the mountain to celebrate?",
Li Ergou stared at Weiyang with a suspicious expression and said, "You have a treat! Do you have money? Where did you get the money to treat you to a poor and sour talent?" ”
Weiyang smiled and said, "Master Li, what do you think this is?" As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and dragged it in front of Li Ergou with his palm.
"Gold," Li Ergou barked with straight eyes.
"How about Master Li, now we can go, right?"
Li Ergou calmed down and said, "You wait, I'll take a shower and change my clothes and leave" Saying that, Li Ergou ran into the cave quickly.
Weiyang nodded with a smile and said, "That's very good." ”
