An ordinary hill, a pinch of loess, a simple tombstone, in front of which a lonely figure knelt.

The breeze blew, and the blades of grass on the grave danced lightly in the wind, as if secretly observing the figure kneeling in front of the tombstone.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you. Xiao An knelt on the ground, kept taking out some memorial items from his arms, and finally took out a yellow-skinned gourd.

This is the yellow gourd that grandpa used to hold wine when he was alive, this is his grandfather's favorite object, and Xiao An has always carried it with him. Later, after learning to refine the gourd, he treated the gourd with refining methods, so that the surface of the gourd did not look like there was any change, but it could already withstand the erosion of time.

"I rescued an old man some time ago, who looked quite like you, and I also carried a wine gourd with me, almost exactly like yours, and when I first saw that man, I thought I would see you again. ”

The corners of Xiao An's eyes were a little moist, and when he remembered that he was secretly crying that night, he felt a little hard to believe that one of his old men would cry like an angry little daughter-in-law.

"Grandpa, this is your favorite wine, I have called you a lot from the town, you can drink more, you don't need to save me any more money to marry my daughter-in-law, I am not short of this money now." "In the past, when my grandfather was alive, even if the herbs were sold for a lot of money, he was reluctant to make some good wine, but kept drinking the cheapest turbid wine in the town, saying that he wanted to save money for Xiao An to marry his daughter-in-law.

"Don't worry, when I have a good match, I will bring it over to you as soon as possible. Speaking of this, Xiao Anxin remembered the scene of sitting on the Moon Peak with the woman that day. At that time, he didn't understand the tenderness of the other party, but when he reacted, Yiren was already in a faint spirit, which made Xiao An's heart feel a little more melancholy.

"Ah, by the way, I also brought a lot of wedding wine today, of course it wasn't my own wedding wine, it was from a good friend of mine when I was in the sect. I had planned to go and see him, just in time for his big day, and he had a troublemaker there, but fortunately I went that day, otherwise my friend's whole family would have been in danger. ”

Where could Xiao An, who was nagging in front of the grave, realize how much a trivial matter in his eyes had a great impact on this world.

"How about you taste this wine!" Speaking of this, Xiao An took out a wine jar from the storage bag, and after opening the mud seal, a fragrance immediately wafted out, Xiao An directly put out two bowls, and after they were full of wine, he drank one bowl himself, and the other bowl was sprinkled in front of the grave.

When Xiao An took the wine, a jade box densely covered with complex spiritual patterns was also taken out along with the wine jar, which was the item that the fake head Tuo was trying to get.

Xiao An didn't want to take the other party's life that day, but no one expected that the wisp of black smoke from the evil sect emitted by the fake head would actually take the life of the fake head tuo.

Moreover, the news of the fake head Tuo coming to his friend's house to rob the treasure has been spread, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, so that everyone believes that the Chen family has no treasures. In the end, Xiao An pretended to be Toutuo, left the town in a high-profile manner, and made a scene where Toutuo was satisfied after getting the treasure.

Fortunately, he pretended that Toutuo was wearing a mask when he came, and outsiders didn't know that Liu Xiu'er's second uncle had come to the Chen family, so Xiao An borrowed his costume to go out, and he was not afraid

Goofs.

None of the neighbors of the Chen family would have thought that as soon as this "false head" left the town, he quietly returned to Chen Yang's house on the back foot, and was warmly welcomed by the Chen family.

When Xiao An was leaving, Chen Yang took Xiao An's hand and gave the jade box to Xiao An alive or dead, and when he saw that Xiao An didn't accept it, he said helplessly: "Brother Xiao, if there is no matter of Toutuo, I am reluctant to give this thing to you." As you have seen today, we will not be able to protect this treasure at all, and leaving it in our hands will only bring us disaster. ”

Xiao An's happiness with Chen Yang's family deeply touched Xiao An, and after leaving Chen Yang's house, Xiao An took a few more detours and returned to Huangpo Town to visit his relatives.

Xiao An held the jade box in his hand and observed it carefully. This kind of jade box is used in the cultivation world to preserve important items, each jade box has a specific opening method, if you can't open the jade box according to the preset method, the jade box itself will be stimulated, destroying the items in the jade box.

Fortunately, Chen Yang's wife still remembered the method of opening this jade box, and the fake head Tuo also opened the jade box that day, so Xiao An opened the jade box very easily. When he saw the contents clearly, Xiao An's face was full of surprise, and inside was a book of imperial envoy flying sword exercises: "Psychic Sword Technique".

Since stepping into the world of cultivating immortals, Xiao An has heard the legend of the sword immortal the most, and although he has "Palm Floating Thousand Heavy Waves", "Glimpse of Light", and "Heavenly Thunder Condensation Technique", he does not have the practice of using magic weapons. Although when facing the enemy, he will also use daggers and long swords, but they are all basic moves such as stabbing, slashing, and slashing, not only have no rules, but the moves and spiritual power are very poorly coordinated, and they can't play much role at all.

Now that I have also obtained a copy of the Imperial Envoy Flying Sword Technique, I am so happy. It's just that after Xiao An briefly looked at the exercises, his expression became surprised.

This sword trick can only be used with a special flying sword, but fortunately, there is also a refining method and materials required for this special flying sword in the jade box. It's just that there are too many rare materials needed for refining this magic weapon, and Xiao An roughly estimated that even if refining the flying sword of the lowest grade, the materials alone would cost three or four hundred spirit stones.

After quickly reading the sword technique, Xiao An solemnly received this exercise into the space bead along with the jade box, and finally bowed to his grandfather's grave before leaving and walking towards the barren slope town under the mountain.

......

The town of Barren Slope is located in the immediate vicinity of the Lost Mountains, and at the beginning of its existence, it faced an almost endless number of beast attacks from the mountains.

The city wall outside the town is about three zhang high, and the surface of the city wall is pitted, and there are still dark red blood stains in many places. It's just that the city wall has not been maintained for many years, and there are signs of collapse in many places. A smell left over by the long years seemed to be blowing in his face, silently telling the tragedy of the past and the vicissitudes of the present, making Xiao An, who was staring at the city wall, silent.

The town of Huangpo was founded about 300 years ago, and this wall was built with countless manpower at the beginning of the town. Back then, this place was still a place where wild beasts were rampant, and the mortals who moved here stood on this wall and fought with the beasts that rushed up to it. In the past few decades, I don't know how many warriors have died, and I have resisted many waves of beasts to attack the city, and only then have mortals gained a foothold here.

Now that there are no large-scale beasts in the vicinity of this place, there is no need to worry about beast sieges.

The walls that sheltered mortals also decayed.

Xiao An carried a pack of spiritual tea purchased from Fang Market in his hand and walked towards Uncle Shen's "Ji'an Hall". Xiao An has been away from Huangpo Town for more than ten years, and he has only come back a few times during this period, in addition to going to his grandfather's grave to burn paper, he is here to visit Uncle Shen, if he still has relatives, this person is the only one.

As soon as Xiao An stepped into the street where Uncle Shen's shop was located, he saw more than a dozen people gathering outside a shop from a distance, and the location where he was standing happened to be Uncle Shen's Ji'an Hall.

"I was sorting out the fabrics in my shop when I suddenly heard a scream from the Ji'an Hall next door, followed by the sound of the hospital collapsing. When I walked out of my shop, I saw a few vague figures running out of the town, and they were running so fast that they seemed to be flying, and they were out of sight after a few flashes. The speaker was Aunt Xu, who was next to Ji'an Hall, and was introducing the scene she saw to the neighbors around her.

Aunt Xu is a tailor who runs a shop selling cloth next door, selling cloth and making clothes. After Mr. Xiao took Xiao An in, he took Xiao An to this store to order new clothes whenever the Chinese New Year was over.

"Shopkeeper Shen is usually kind and charitable, how could he encounter such an unfortunate thing, alas!" many people in the crowd sighed.

Xiao An stepped forward and saw that the medical hall had become a ruin, and a man who was only a teenager had fallen in a pool of blood and was no longer breathing.

"Aunt Xu, are you sure that those figures are running in that direction?" Xiao An walked closer to the front and back, squeezed through the crowd, and after confirming the man's injuries first, he walked straight to Aunt Xu and asked, ignoring everyone's puzzled gazes.

After Xiao An checked, he found that this guy died at the hands of the monk, and as Aunt Xu just described, the shopkeeper Shen should have been a monk who was invincible, so he escaped.

"Yes, Shopkeeper Shen and those figures seemed to be flying, and in the blink of an eye, they went directly from here to the outside of the town. Who are you?" After Aunt Xu finished speaking, she realized that she didn't recognize this young man.

"You, you, are you Xiao Anzi?" After asking, Aunt Xu looked at Xiao An with familiar eyes, and only asked with some uncertainty after a while.

"Yes, auntie, it's my little Anzi, please report the matter here to the old folks, and I'll save Uncle Shen. After Xiao An finished speaking, he was going to chase Uncle Shen through the crowd.

"Those people are dangerous, don't go. After the death of Old Man Xiao, the shopkeeper Shen claimed that he introduced Xiao An to the city to make a living. Aunt Xu hurriedly instructed Xiao An, for fear that if he was impulsive, he would put herself in it if he couldn't save people.

Xiao An was taken in by his grandfather at the age of seven, and went to the mountains to learn the Tao at the age of ten, and only had three years to collect medicine with his grandfather. Although he came back a few times after learning the Tao, he quietly came to sit with Shopkeeper Shen after going to the grave of his grandfather, and did not let others know.

Xiao An hugged his fist to Aunt Xu, and hurriedly ran in the direction that Aunt Xu pointed, and after a few flashes, he crossed the low city wall of Barren Slope Town and disappeared into the distance.

"Immortal, Xiao Anzi knows how to be an immortal, he is an immortal!" When he saw Xiao An as if he was an immortal, he took a few steps and walked several miles, and everyone present was shocked.
