Chapter 1: Serendipity
The red sun hung in the west, the heat on the earth had not yet dissipated, and the lush leaves on Baiyun Mountain seemed to be unable to stand the temperature and curled up slightly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under a big tree beside the rugged mountain road, the young man raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat that kept flowing from his forehead, frowning at the mountain road winding all the way under the scorching sun.
The boy was dressed in old clothes, with some holes in them. But if you look closely, you will find that the clothes are all made of fine silk, and they are well-made, which is not as good as what ordinary people can buy. The boy muttered, rubbed his face, stood up, and walked out of the shade of the tree towards the mountain road.
It turned out that this young man's name was Li Haoran, and he was a native of Xuanhuo. His father, Li Qingxuan, was originally the governor of Shenmu Prefecture in Xuanhuo Country, so how could this Li Haoran, a good son of Zhizhou, be alone in this barren mountains and mountains?
This started more than a year ago, when Li Qingxuan found clues that the six princes of Xuanhuo Kingdom had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country in a homicide case, and when he wanted to continue the investigation, he was warned not to continue the investigation.
But how could Li Qingxuan stop there, he named his son Li Haoran just to make him have a heroic spirit and be upright, which shows that he himself is also a person who adheres to the right path. So he followed the clues all the way, believing that evil cannot prevail over good. However, when he took the family back to the countryside to celebrate the birthday of his wife, Lin Yun'er's father, who was also his father-in-law, the disaster began. When the group of people reached the halfway point, they were intercepted by a large group of black-clothed people. Fortunately, Li Qingxuan is an honest official, fights righteousness and squanders money, and has also made some heroic heroes in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and he guessed that he might encounter some accidents when he went out this time, so he invited some friends on the rivers and lakes to accompany him, so he was not succeeded by the man in black.
But this group of black-clothed people not only has a large number of people, but also a few people in it are extremely strong in martial arts, and several of the people in the rivers and lakes who helped Li Qingxuan knew that they were invincible, so they asked Li Qingxuan to leave quickly with his family, and several of them broke off. Li Qingxuan didn't want to involve others, and he also knew that this group of people was here for him, so he implored a few heroes to protect their wives and children and leave, and they went to lure away the group of people in black. But Lin Yun'er insisted on not leaving, just begging to take Li Haoran away, and Li Haoran insisted on not leaving, but he heard that his mother wanted him to pass on the Li family's incense and then take revenge, so he left in tears. And Li Qingxuan took Lin Yun'er to flee on a horse to another road, but there were also more than a dozen black-clothed people chasing after Li Haoran and others, and it seemed that they were determined to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
This escape was more than ten days, and the martial arts people who protected Li Haoran all the way also died one by one, and finally fled to a big city to hide in the bustling crowd before escaping the pursuit. At this point, Li Haoran has been standing alone and walking alone. While he was not knowing where he was going, he saw a notice at the gate of the city, which made him frightened, angry, and grief-stricken.
"After investigation, Li Qingxuan, the governor of the original Shenmu Prefecture, ate the king's Lu and did not repay the king's kindness. During his tenure as the governor of Shenmu Prefecture, he had close contacts with Jinyun State, and sold many military defense maps in my country to Jinyun Country to obtain countless money. However, the sky is mighty, and there is nowhere to hide, and now the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and there is a judgment to remove his post as the governor of Shenmu Prefecture, raid the house, and raze the nine clans. Now a criminal has been ambushed, only his son Li Haoran is at large, such a vicious and vicious person please pay more attention to the righteous people in the world, if you find it, quickly report it to the yamen in various places, and give a reward of 3,000 taels of silver if the clues are true. The portrait of the offender is as follows......"
Li Haoran looked at the portrait on the notice and recognized that it was the portrait when he participated in the township examination last year, but at this time, he was in rags and his hair was scattered, and he was very different from the handsome appearance on the portrait. Li Haoran clasped his hands tightly, listening to the people around him scolding Li Qingxuan or laughing about how he got three thousand taels and couldn't help but redden, he just wanted to knock everyone down in front of him, and then loudly declared that his father was innocent. However, thinking that when his mother left, he had tears in his eyes, and he wanted to live well and find a chance to take revenge, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and endure it.
"Revenge, revenge, revenge......" Li Haoran kept silently reciting these two words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. He knew who he was avenging against, but the other party's power and force were out of reach for him. And now that he is wanted again, it is even more difficult to take revenge.
"Bell, bell, bell......"
At this moment, a bell suddenly rang, and Li Haoran followed the reputation, but it was the bell in the temple on the mountain outside the city that rang. Li Haoran's heart moved, remembering the scene he saw when he and his father went to the capital when he was five years old.
That year coincided with the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Xuanhuo Kingdom, and a huge celebration was held in the capital, which was very lively. At that time, Li Qingxuan was still an official in the capital, so he took Li Haoran to watch the celebration together. The most impressive thing about Li Haoran in the celebration was that when the two of them stepped on the clouds in the air during the ceremony of worshipping the heavens in front of the palace, everyone including the emperor knelt down to greet them. Later, the two of them cast spells on the altar and called for wind and rain, which made Li Haoran yearn for it. Later, Li Qingxuan told Li Haoran that the two of them were cultivators, from the Ruihua Sect more than 10,000 miles away.
At the time, I just thought it was fun, but now that I think about it, it's different, even the emperor has to bow down to them in front of everyone, and they can walk in the air, which shows how powerful they are. Then, as long as he can join the cultivation of the Ruihua Sect, then it will be much easier to take revenge, so thinking like this, he embarked on the road to the Ruihua Sect.
has been walking like this for more than a year, and there have been many ups and downs along the way, and Li Haoran has also changed from the gentle and elegant son of Zhizhou to a country boy with a dark face. Fortunately, the people in the rivers and lakes that Li Qingxuan knew since he was a child taught Li Haoran some martial arts, so that he was not killed by the robbers. Along the way, the cold and summer were pressing, and the wind and food and sleeping in the open never made him discouraged and retreated.
Picking up the kettle and taking a sip of water, Li Haoran continued to walk forward, sweat still kept flowing down his cheeks, Li Haoran didn't know if he could reach Ruihua Sect and whether Ruihua Sect would accept him, but he knew that only by keeping moving forward would there be hope.
"Boom ......"
Li Haoran was walking when he suddenly faintly heard the sound of water in front of him, Li Haoran was shocked, and walked forward quickly, walking under such a scorching sun to be able to take a bath in the clear stream, it is no better. The further you go, the louder the sound of the water, and when you turn a corner of the mountain, you can see a white stream of water flowing down from the top of the mountain in the distance, the sound is huge, the water is splashing, the water mist is filled, and the sun shines on the waterfall to form a seven-colored rainbow. Li Haoran was overjoyed, although the waterfall was blocked by trees, but looking at the huge momentum of this waterfall, there must be a big pool washed out below. Looking at the splashing waterfall, Li Haoran only felt that the sun was not so hot, and walked quickly towards the bottom of the waterfall.
Walking into the woods, I only felt refreshing and pleasant, and listening to the rumbling of the water made Li Haoran can't help but speed up his pace and walk forward. Walking to the edge of the woods, Li Haoran only felt that his eyes were wide, such a big pool, such a spectacular waterfall!
"Heaven and earth have their great beauty, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent!"
A silvery-white waterfall cascades down into the turquoise pool below. The splashes of the water, the sparkling blue waves, and the dazzling brilliance of the sun shining on the water, seem to isolate this place from the outside world and evolve into a cool world itself.
Li Haoran was dizzy, and was about to take off his clothes and pants to go down to the pool to enjoy the rare coolness of this summer day, when he saw a black thing slowly rising from the pool. Li Haoran was startled, but when he looked closely, he saw the black thing popping out of the water with a "bang", and then a white jade-like body jumped out of the water. Li Haoran was stunned at this time, this turned out to be a beautiful woman, with long hair as wet as ink draped over her shoulders, Qiong's nose was erect, her small mouth was red and moist, her eyebrows were picturesque, and then down were her shoulders that were as clear as jade with a little drop of water, and then down was a plump and smooth woman, Li Haoran's cheeks were red and his head was buzzing. What's even worse is that the woman also looked at him dumbfounded like Li Haoran, and then retracted into the water with a scream of "Ah!"
Li Haoran was frightened by this scream and came back to his senses, turned around and kept whispering in his mouth: "Don't look at incivility, don't look at incivility...... Li Haoran panicked in his heart and said: "This...... That one...... I...... Not on purpose!"
The woman hid under the water, but there was no response. Li Haoran thought to herself that she was too embarrassed to come out here, and was about to leave when she heard a loud roar coming: "Lady, what's wrong?" Then there was a sound of footsteps, this person came so fast, listening to the sound just now was still a hundred meters away, and it was within twenty meters in a moment.
Li Haoran heard the voice and secretly screamed in his heart: "Bitter!" However, he remembered that it was his fault after all, so he stood in place and waited for the person to come over, so that he could explain it clearly.
After a while, I heard a person come to the waterhole and ask, "Lady, what's wrong?"
Li Haoran felt bitter in his heart, and it felt really bad to be wronged! He stopped and turned around and said loudly: "The sun is scorching, Xiaosheng is just passing by here, and when he sees the gurgling water here, he wants to come and wash it. ”
"Passing by, hum!" I heard the man say in a cold voice: "What a coincidence, you don't pass by in the morning, you don't pass by in the evening, but you pass by when I go to dry my clothes outside the woods for my wife." You must have been hiding by the side for a long time. I didn't expect you kid to have such a lustful heart and lustful guts at such a young age!" The more the man spoke, the more angry he became, and finally shouted, "Boy, take your life!"
Li Haoran was about to explain a few words, but he heard the strong wind behind him, and knew that the other party had already made a move, he didn't want to die here so unjustly, and reflexively punched his right hand towards the man's palm. Li Haoran only felt that a powerful internal force spread from his fist towards his arm, this man was actually a top master! Li Haoran reacted very quickly, retracted his strength at once, and flew backwards with the man's strength. Li Haoran only felt that his right hand had lost sensation and kept spasming. Li Haoran was horrified in his heart, knowing that it was not his opponent who reflexively ran towards the woods in front of him.
"Do you want to run away if the idea hits my Wang Tianhu's wife!" After the man finished speaking, he strode after him, and in a few steps, he had already chased behind Li Haoran, and with a palm of his right hand, he hit Li Haoran's vest. Li Haoran knew that the wind was powerful, and now was not the time to be a hero! Immediately he rolled towards the ground, turned over, grabbed the foot of a tree, kicked it and ran forward.
"Click"
It turned out that Wang Tianhu's palm had already used all his strength, just asking for a blow to kill Li Haoran under his palm, but he didn't expect Li Haoran to roll away so shamelessly towards the ground. It was too late to take back this palm, so he had to slap it on a nearby tree, although the big tree was broken and his chest was swelling. After a slight breath, I saw that Li Haoran had run into the distance, and suddenly the tiger roared and flew after him, if I saw Li Haoran young just now, I just wanted to solve it easily, but at this time, I was really angry, and I just wanted to catch this kid and torture him well and then kill him.
Li Haoran heard the movement behind but didn't dare to look back, so he could only desperately flee forward, flee forward. He still has to save his life to avenge his family! How can he die here? But how could things in this world change because of a momentary unwillingness? I only heard the sound of the wind behind me, and after a while, Wang Tianhu's voice came from my ears: "Hey, I want to run! Is it that easy?"
Li Haoran only felt a pain in his back, and his body fell forward. Li Haoran stabilized his body, did not fall to the ground, swallowed a mouthful of blood back into his stomach with the surging of qi and blood, and continued to run forward, this time he flashed left and right in the woods to avoid being caught by Wang Tianhu.
Li Haoran's heart suddenly moved, and he laughed loudly and shouted loudly as he ran: "Haha, Wang Tianhu is in vain for you to be smart, your lady has been captured by my brothers, it's ridiculous that you are still here to hunt me down." Sure enough, Wang Tianhu was stunned, turned around and ran towards the pool.
Li Haoran didn't dare to look back to see if Wang Tianhu was still chasing, and he could only run away as much as possible now, only begging Wang Tianhu to remember that his wife didn't have so much patience to chase after him.
Running like this is the time for a meal, but Li Haoran ran to the foot of a mountain, groaned, and climbed towards the mountain, he didn't dare to go around in the woods now, it would be bad if he ran into Wang Tianhu again. He didn't believe that Wang Tianhu would run to this mountain with his wife.
The road is bumpy, and the higher you go, the thicker the trees become, full of antiquity, and the dense branches and foliage sprinkle a large area of shade. The more you go up, the cooler it becomes, and then it actually becomes foggy, stepping on the soft dead leaves on the ground Li Haoran also feels a little tired, if it weren't for the fact that he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has been rushing non-stop every day for more than a year, he may not be able to persevere in such a desperate escape today. Seeing a big bluestone in front of him, Li Haoran walked over and sat on it, intending to rest for a while before leaving.
When you look up, there are huge trees, locking people's eyes and making it difficult to see far. Li Haoran couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "I don't know where this is going, it seems that I can only wait for Wang Tianhu to leave and return the same way." I don't know what kind of person this Wang Tianhu is, with such martial arts, he actually lives in this deep mountain. ”
After resting for a while, Li Haoran saw the sunset on the western mountain, so he decided to walk down the mountain, return to the road, and continue to walk towards the sect of the Ruihua Sect. But as soon as he stood up, he heard a voice behind him and said coldly: "It's really a way to heaven, you don't go, there is no door to hell, you break in!" Li Haoran heard this voice and suddenly burst into the dead, this is Wang Tianhu's voice, he never thought that Wang Tianhu would chase after here. I don't want to run in one direction in so much panic at the moment.
It turned out that this Wang Tianhu was the owner of the bandit gang "Tianwang Village" in Baiyun Mountain. In the afternoon, Li Haoran bluffed that his wife had been taken away, and he ran back in shock, but when he returned, he saw his wife dressed and in a well-groomed room. He was so angry that he couldn't stay away from his wife, and how could he find this vast green mountain hiding in it? After going back, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I went to the back mountain of the cottage and punched indiscriminately, and then I wanted to go to the "Tiger Roaring Cliff" and shout a few times to relieve my mood. But seeing Li Haoran, who made him grit his teeth for a long time, suddenly surprised him, and his mood became extremely good. Seeing Li Haoran flee without saying a word, Wang Tianhu also laughed and chased after him. Fortunately, the trees here were dense and huge, so Wang Tianhu's speed advantage could not be brought into play, but he still slowly approached Li Haoran.
"My life is on hold!" Li Haoran looked at the misty cliff in front of him, and couldn't help but scream in his heart. Turning to look at Wang Tianhu, who was smiling lightly and walking slowly not far away, he asked loudly: "I have no grievances with you, but I inadvertently passed by your wife's bathing place in the wild, why are you so aggressive!"
Wang Tianhu was stunned, since he had been a robber for more than ten years, he had seen that the people who were killed were either begging or cursing loudly, but he had never seen such a reasonable person, and he never thought that he would see the two of them in just a few days, and then he laughed and said the truth he believed in all his life and said: "Why? With my fist bigger than you, if you can't beat me, I can only accept my fate!" After speaking, he flew towards Li Haoran and attacked.
Li Haoran didn't expect Wang Tianhu's answer to be so simple and to the essence, and when he saw his attack, he knew that he was not his opponent, and sighed softly: "That's it, that's it! I, Li Haoran, can't be despised even if I die, so let's go and meet my parents!" Wang Tianhu was startled when he saw Li Haoran jumping down the cliff so resolutely and resolutely, and hurriedly walked over to look down the cliff, but saw the clouds and mist drifting and couldn't see anything. I felt a little admiration for Li Haoran acting so decisively at such a young age, and sighed and turned back to the cottage.
