The shops lining the streets are also in tatters, but they are also a testament to the old days, with wild cats and dogs fleeing through the dilapidated doors and windows, vying for the arms of black-faced men, who often eat the flesh of monks, and over time become more tyrannical and wild, and their thinking intelligence is also evolving.

Their eyes are red, their teeth and bodies are also mutated with the continuous eating of spiritual flesh, they are like evil wolves, they will eat in groups when they see the old and weak women and children, there is a young man in front of him who is fourteen or fifteen years old, ragged, holding wooden sticks with both hands, his body is a little trembling, behind him there is a middle-aged woman slumped on the ground, skinny as wood, the body has traces of wild dog scratches, but the injury is not serious, it should be caused by physical illness, pale face, eyes are scattered, and she is dying.

The young man comforted the woman, and seemed to encourage himself, "Mother, hold on, I'll see you to see the doctor in a while!" The young man's cultivation is to refine the qi perfectly, and he has just broken through, and the breath is still unstable, and the wild dogs around him are all in the realm of qi refining, and two of them have already completed the refining of qi, and these wild dogs look at the young man and the woman like a meal on a plate, and saliva is dripping from the corners of their mouths.

The young man was forced to press step by step, but he couldn't retreat, his mother was the hope of the young man, and it was also his home, the young man bit his lip, his resolute eyes swore to die, and his mother said weakly behind him: "Jian'er, I know that you are filial to my mother, but I can't drag you down, you have to live well, and my mother is blind when she dies!"

The boy didn't seem to hear his mother's words, or the vigilant watch of the wild dog group, finally two of them couldn't bear it, and pounced on the boy, the boy struggled to shake the wooden stick and smashed the wild dog, now the situation is evenly matched, the old dog led by the old dog barked again, and jumped next to the two wild dogs to the boy pounced, at this time the boy was already struggling, and he insisted on holding on with a breath, the four dogs scuffled together, the boy was not very strong, and finally after a few rounds, he rolled to the ground with the wild dog, the situation was at a disadvantage, and his ragged shirt was completely bitten by the wild dog in the fight, and there were more scars on his chest。

Then the old dog at the head took the opportunity to rush towards the middle-aged woman, and the young man was pressed to the ground by four wild dogs at the moment, unable to move, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was hideous: "Beast, don't hurt my mother, have the courage to come and eat me!"

The young man couldn't stop it, and his heart was discouraged, so he could only watch his mother being eaten, and secretly swore that as long as he lived, he would slaughter these man-eating dogs.

Just when the boy closed his eyes, the situation reversed, the wild dogs wailed, between a few breaths, the young man opened his eyes, the wild dogs have been seriously injured and fractured, there is no attack power, in front of him, there is an amiable big brother, look at the face, it is a few years older, Ling Xiao smiled and stretched out his hands to the young man, the young man took advantage of the situation, stood up from the ground, and immediately knelt down, was pulled by Ling Xiao,

said: "When the road is uneven, help each other, you don't care about your own safety to protect your mother, filial piety is also the first, filial piety is the first, it is commendable!"

The young man looked at Ling Xiao with a grateful face and said, "Thank you to the immortals for saving me, my mother and I are grateful, but there is nothing around us to repay!"

Immediately the young man lowered his head, looking shy, Ling Xiao looked at the young man's mother again, the woman was already terminally ill, ordinary pharmacies could not cure her, Ling Xiao took out a few pills from the Qiankun bag and handed them to the young man, and said: "This is the Qi Replenishing Pill, which can make your mother breathe smoothly and nourish the vitality, take it three times, one pill each time, and it will get better after that!"

The boy and his mother thanked each other, and Xia Siyao whispered beside him: "Although you are nosy, I support you very much!"

Ling Xiao touched his nose, and always felt that Xia Siyao spoke strangely, but finally Xia Siyao's personality became cheerful and took the initiative to speak.

The young man looked at Ling Xiao and was a little embarrassed, Ling Xiao saw this and said: "Since I saved you, it is also fate, if you have any requirements, just say it, I will try my best to meet you!"

"Immortal, I want to know your origin and name, and when I succeed in my studies in the future, I will go and repay my kindness! Let me be a cow and a horse!" said the young man with a firm look in his clear eyes.

Ling Xiao recalled his previous middle-aged friend Wang Yi, who once met friends with martial arts in Tianbao Auction House, and gave Wang Yi the secret book of Gongfa to return to Haifu to practice, I don't know what the current situation is in Haifu, how Tianxiu has been, Tianxiu is a very sensible woman, never increases pressure on Ling Xiao, everything is carried by herself, although she is a weak woman, but she has a tough personality, she is a fierce woman, Ling Xiao fell deeply into memories at this time.

The young man didn't dare to speak, feeling that what he had just said was very abrupt, his mother also tugged on the young man's sleeve and motioned for the young man to apologize, Ling Xiao reacted and said to the young man: "Everything has cause and effect, and one of your decisions can go out of a different way." My name is Haidong, Dao number Lingxiao, the young sect master of the Luoyun Sect in Heitu Prefecture. ”

When the words fell, Ling Xiao took out a high-grade treasure knife, entered Ling Xiao's mark in it, handed it to the young man, and said: "This treasure knife is for you to defend yourself, protect your mother, and when you are free in the future, come to Luoyun Sect to find me, they see the knife as if they were people! Also, don't expose it easily, now people's hearts are sinister, beware of killing people and taking treasures." ”

"I remember the name of the immortal, when I settle down my mother, I will come to you to learn art, my name is Zhang Jian, please be worshiped by the benefactor!" Zhang Jian spoke loudly, full of righteousness, although he was not born with a Taoist backbone, and his heart was clear, but the young man was surrounded by righteousness, which was richer than Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao secretly thought that this son's achievements in the future are limitless, if he does not die young, he will definitely do something!

Ling Xiao accepted Zhang Jian's bow, thought for a while, and said: "Zhang Jian, perseverance, but your personality is too upright, just too easy to break, and you will be conflicted with your life, if you don't mind, I will give you the alias "Zhang Bairen" to walk the rivers and lakes in the future, think more about everything, and be more patient, so that you can become a great tool!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jian and his mother thanked Dade, and his mother signaled to Zhang Jian, since he was given a name, it is better to recognize Ling Xiao as a teacher!

"The immortal gave him a name, because he could afford Jian'er, and asked his benefactor to take him as an apprentice! Give guidance, I am Jian'er's mother, but I know my son better, although Jian'er does not know how to be flexible and upright, but he is loyal and kind. Please take him as a disciple!!" The woman was frail, and it seemed difficult to kneel, but she was also an upright person.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao hurriedly helped Zhang Jian's mother up, and said: "Jian'er is very good, with a little training, there will be results, I am not a top master now, accept him as an apprentice, I am afraid of misleading people's children!"

After Ling Xiao finished speaking, Zhang Jian's mother and son just knelt on the ground, Ling Xiao was helpless, sighed lightly, and said: "Zhang Jian, you are at a carefree age, how can you have a rough fate, you first settle your mother, and then come to Luoyun Sect to apprentice! You are my first disciple!"

After Zhang Jian heard this, he was extremely happy, it was really a blessing to be able to become the first disciple, not only could he get the best cultivation and cultivation resources, but in the future, in addition to Ling Xiao, his status was Zhang Jian, which could be said to be the first to get the moon near the water.

The faces of the mother and son were happy, and Zhang Jian was about to kowtow to Ling Xiao, but was stopped by Ling Xiao and said, "Wait for the teacher to come back to the Cloud Sect, and make up the apprenticeship ceremony for you, remember it first!"

"Thank you for the name! Zhang Bairen remembered! When I settle down with my mother, I will go to Shizun to learn the arts!" Zhang Jian said excitedly.

Ling Xiao took out some spirit stones and pills from the Qiankun bag, and took out a book of Qi Refining Perfection Exercises, so that Zhang Bairen had time to cultivate, and he couldn't slack off, Zhang Bairen took it with both hands.

Then he told the mother and son to be careful on the road and take care, and then said goodbye. Ling Xiao watched the mother and son go away, and turned around to find Xia Siyao looking at him with a smile, Ling Xiao saw Xia Siyao's smiling face for the first time, and said, "You look so good when you smile, like a spring flower!"

Xia Siyao immediately regained her cold expression and said, "Congratulations on accepting the apprentice, Master Ling Xiao! Let's continue to hurry!"

Ling Xiao nodded, and walked deeper into the city.
