"Shopkeeper, this is when you were resting just now, Uncle Niu and Grandpa Jin Zhu sent a few freshly collected herbs, tell me what the name of this herb is!" A boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a messy hairstyle, jumped in and out.

The young man held several paper packets in his hands, which contained herbs sent by the two herb pickers.

"Can't you speak quietly? I'm not deaf yet." A middle-aged shopkeeper with a belly three points larger than a pregnant woman in labor rubbed his ears and reprimanded the young man in front of him.

The boy smiled embarrassedly and scratched his hair with his hand, making his already messy hair even more messy.

"Tell me which one is the herb collected by your Uncle Niu first, and which one is collected by your Grandpa Jinzhu?" the fat shopkeeper glanced at the paper bags wrapped in the herbs and asked casually.

"Oh, I'm confused, what can I do?" After the young man finished speaking, he was so anxious that he began to circle around the room, and after two circles, he looked at the fat shopkeeper pitifully.

Looking at the young man's anxious and annoyed look, the fat shopkeeper was amused and laughed.

"You go to the back storeroom and pick up the stack of books, and you walk with some eyes, and you break something. After the fat shopkeeper finished laughing, he instructed the boy to go to the back to get the book, intending to teach the boy how to identify the herbs himself.

This little guy is a child of a poor family in the town, and his parents call him the second baby on weekdays, and he has never had an official name. Two months ago, his parents carried two pheasants and begged them to take the boy as a shop boy in the hope that he would learn some medicine.

Although the little fellow was frizzy and scolded a lot by himself every day, within a quarter of an hour the little fellow would be smiling again.

I like this little guy in my heart, and I plan to pass on all my medical skills to him in two years. Now that his health is getting worse and worse, he may not have a few years to live, and this young man may be his last apprentice.

While the fat shopkeeper was leisurely waiting for the boy, the door of the shop was kicked and shattered.

A diminutive man appeared outside the shop, with a large head and a hat covering his ears, looking like a monkey in clothes.

At this moment, a large hole was suddenly knocked out of the walls on both sides, and two more people walked out of the hole.

The fat shopkeeper could see at a glance that these three were all monks, the one wearing the hat was an eighth-level Qi refining cultivator, and the other two were all seventh-level Qi refining cultivators.

The other party is not good, and there are ordinary people around his shop, if there is a conflict with the other party here, it is likely to accidentally hurt the lives of the people around him, thinking of this, the fat shopkeeper took a deep breath.

The next moment, a thin sword struck the hat-wearing monk like lightning, forcing the monk to take a few steps back and get out of the way of the shop.

Then the fat shopkeeper also ran out of the store quickly, and his fat body was extremely flexible, and he ran out of the town almost in the blink of an eye.

At the foot of a hill more than a dozen miles away from the town, the fat shopkeeper was surrounded by three monks, and the diminutive monk, who resembled a monkey, stood by and looked at the fat monk proudly.

"Shen Zheng

Qing, I didn't expect you to enjoy more than 20 years of happiness at the foot of the mountain, and you haven't forgotten to practice, but it's a pity that no matter how much you practice, it's useless!" The monkey-like monk was pointing his finger at the fat shopkeeper, who was the Shen shopkeeper who introduced Xiao An to the Cangyue faction.

"Who are you, why are you dealing with me?" Shopkeeper Shen gasped sharply, and there was a long scratch on the chest of his clothes, but fortunately, there was not much bleeding, and the injury should not be serious. At this time, the only remaining bit of spiritual power in Shen's body had been exhausted, and an abnormal pale appeared on his face.

At this time, Shopkeeper Shen was secretly glad in his heart that Xiao An had been giving him spirit stones in the past few years to maintain the lowest spiritual power in the dantian, otherwise he would not be able to leave the town today.

He has been away from the sect for more than 20 years, and the monkey-like monk in front of him is only in his thirties, and when he pushes forward more than 20 years, this person is only about ten years old, how can he have a deep hatred with himself? The shopkeeper Shen thought to himself in his heart, but this person did look a little familiar.

"Who am I?" After listening to the words of the shopkeeper Shen, the monk in the hat was a little speechless, as if his full strength had hit the cotton, and he didn't know how to vent his resentment.

"Let me remind you, how did you get your injuries?"

"Are you from Whirlwind Village?" asked Shopkeeper Shen in surprise.

More than 30 years ago, a group of robbers named "Whirlwind Village" appeared in the territory of the Cangyue faction, and this group of robbers wandered around the territory of the Cangyue faction for nearly ten years, causing the death of dozens of sect monks, and was listed as the number one target of the attack by the dark hall. But this bandit is extremely cunning, and its tracks are erratic, and it is difficult for the dark hall of the Cangyue faction to seize the opportunity to annihilate them all.

And more than 20 years ago, he led a few people out on a mission, and on the way back to the sect, he encountered a group of robbers robbing passing monks in the Cangyue faction. After the gang of robbers was captured, it was discovered that they were members of the "Whirlwind Village" after interrogation. After learning about the temporary foothold of several main personnel in Whirlwind Village, he used the transmission note to report the matter to the sect in detail, and placed a ban on these captured bandits, hid them in a small cave, and also arranged a formation next to these people to prevent these people from escaping, and also to prevent outsiders from rescuing these robbers.

Then he led several team members to rush to the foothold of the bandit leader, at that time he had just been promoted to the ninth layer of qi refining, and he thought that even if he couldn't catch this group of robbers, at least he could delay the support of the sect monks.

A few of them successfully blocked this group of robbers in the valley, and as a team leader, he fought with the robbers, who were also the ninth level of qi refining. When the reinforcements from the sect arrived, these robbers could not escape death, and they were very proud at that time, plus today's merits, they could be exchanged for a spiritual object that could be used after the foundation building period.

Unexpectedly, he underestimated the ferocity of the robbers, and he was a little lax in his heart, and the other party directly detonated the spiritual power in his dantian when there was no hope of escape, so that he who bore the brunt of the injury to the foundation, and only a small amount of spiritual power could be stored in the dantian, and there was no possibility of further cultivation.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Later, when he was healing, he learned that when the monks of the sect went to arrest the robbers who were imprisoned in the small cave by themselves, they found that these robbers had been burned to charcoal, and all the prohibitions he had left before had been destroyed.

Judging from the traces at the scene, none of the robbers survived.

After hearing the news, I regretted it for a few days. Because one of the robbers imprisoned by himself was a teenager, he thought that this person was taken captive by the robbers and was forced to join the robbers. This kind of thing is relatively common, when the bandit encounters a young monk, he will usually force him to join the bandits, and under his influence, within half a year, he will change a simple child into a murderous bandit without blinking.

It has been more than 20 years since these things happened, and it was not easy for me to forget about it, and after being mentioned today, it came to my mind clearly, as if this incident happened yesterday.

Looking at the monkey-like monk, Shopkeeper Shen unexpectedly found that this person was very similar to the child who was only a teenager back then.

"Are you the kid who was only a teenager back then?" asked Shopkeeper Shen in an uncertain tone.

"Do you see that?" Hearing Shopkeeper Shen's words, the monk who looked like a monkey knew that Shopkeeper Shen had remembered what happened back then, but he didn't expect Shopkeeper Shen to still have an impression of him.

Seeing that the other party admitted his guess, Shopkeeper Shen was still very puzzled in his heart. Before imprisoning several bandits in a small cave, he first placed a ban on the robbers, so that these people could not mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies. And his own formation outside the cave is not something that ordinary monks can crack, and it is already surprising that a teenage child on the other side can escape from it, and the other party still comes to seek revenge on him more than twenty years after this incident.

Back then, the matter of these monks being confined in a small cave was full of suspicions, but they didn't want to pay attention to this matter after they were seriously injured, and now that the other party came to find him, it was an opportunity to find out the truth of the year.

The doubts in the shopkeeper Shen's heart didn't last long, and he heard the monkey-like monk say: "Shen Zhengqing, don't you think it's strange that I was just a teenage child at the fourth level of qi refining back then, why would I hold such a grudge. If you know me and who I am, you wouldn't be surprised. ”

"Let me tell you, I'm the young master of Whirlwind Village, if it weren't for you, I would still be living a life of spending days and drinking. It was because of you that my family was ruined and I suffered a lot in the future. ”

Speaking of this, the monk became irritable, took off the hat on his head, and pointed to his head and yelled at the shopkeeper Shen viciously: "See, it's all because of you!"

After the other party took off his hat, a provocative ear that stretched outward was immediately revealed, which was particularly eye-catching, while the ear on the other side of the person's head was empty, and it looked very awkward.

"Back then, in order to break the ban you left behind, I used up several precious treasures, but I didn't expect that one of my ears was cut off by the hand you left behind. (This ear was cut off by other bandits)"

"After the stockade was destroyed, I also thought about being an ordinary monk, but after you destroyed the stockade, why didn't you carefully inspect and search for it?

"Do you know what happened to me when I was caught by a few Whirlwind Monks who escaped the tragedy when I rushed back to the village?"
