Chapter 1: The Sword Comes from the Clouds
The demon disaster is coming, the earth dragon turns over, and the wolf smoke rises everywhere in Kyushu, and the land is devastated everywhere.
Trees fall and boulders fall in the dark mountains. An embarrassed young figure walked through it, running and turning back, as if being chased by something terrible.
In the roar and vibration that resounded in the sky, Chang Xi's contracted pupils reflected the raging fire that rose into the sky in the distance, and the blood-covered iron willow in his hand trembled uncontrollably.
"Dad, you must be fine!"
Chang Xi tried his best to take a step forward and wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Even at this point, Chang Xi still couldn't believe in his heart, why did the demon clan that should only appear outside the extreme north suddenly appear in Huizhou? Niangqin and more than 20 families in Wanghui Village were killed by the cruel and bloodthirsty demon clan while they were still asleep, and only the father who patrolled the night happened to find out, and he won a glimmer of life to cover his escape from the village.
Just when Chang Xi was sad and angry in his heart, a burst of forest crackling suddenly sounded behind him, and several pitch-black beast shadows with a body larger than a zhang Xu jumped over the toppled giant trees and slashed overhead. Chang Xi hurriedly stopped, only to feel that the flower in front of him, in the shadow of the giant tree in front of him, there were three terrifying demon wolves slowly pacing out.
The huge body that was more than a zhang Xu, the hard fur like steel casting was pitch black, and there was no reflection in the moonlight. There were black flames rising all over his body, and a pair of blood-soaked wolf eyes slowly twisted, looking at Chang Xi who was trembling. As if feeling the fear in Chang Xi's heart, the huge wolf's mouth actually pulled out a terrifying grin like a human, and blood dripped from the hideous fangs exposed at the corners of the mouth. The wolf's head the size of a millstone flicked violently, and a broken body smashed in front of Chang Xi, and blood splashed in the air sprinkled on Chang Xi's pale cheeks.
"Daddy... Daddy, no, it's impossible..."
The cold body lying at his feet was blurred with flesh and blood, and the scene in front of him was like a hammer bombarding his fragile mind.
Chang Xi's head was buzzing at this time, and the tears that came out of his eyes were mixed with blood and flowed down his pale cheeks, and the iron willow bow in his hand fell to the ground. His knees slammed into his knees, trembling and holding his father tightly in his arms, whose flesh was blurred and long gone. In the past, the burly figure was like a mountain, and on the warm palm of the hand that tirelessly taught archery day after day, the temperature from his father gradually became cold.
Suddenly, something seemed to be awakened in the depths of my heart. The memories of playing with his father and mother in the past kept coming to his eyes like a marquee, and he trembled and stretched out his hand to keep it, but he couldn't stop it.
"It's me who is useless, it's me who hurt my father and mother. ”
Chang Xi muttered to himself, tears in the corners of his eyes, but the fear of Fang Cai was gone. The burning village in the distance and the surrounding sand and rocks all receded to both sides like a tide at this moment. Now in his world, there is only the demon wolf in front of him, and there is nothing else.
There is only endless killing intent full of life!
Chang Xi angrily picked up the iron willow bow that fell at his feet, pulled an iron feather arrow behind him, pulled the tenacious bowstring, and pointed directly at the demon wolf not far away.
"Beast, death!" Chang Xi burst out, and the tears in the corners of his eyes suddenly burst into a cloud of mist. In the scarlet eyes, Chang Xi's not thick right arm pulled the iron willow bow into a full moon. As the young man's right hand loosened, the pitch-black iron feather arrow struck the demon wolf's right eye like a black lightning bolt.
Looking at the arrows that shot at him, the mockery in the demon wolf's eyes became even stronger, and his feet did not move. Even if you stand here and shoot hundreds or thousands of arrows at this mortal, you won't be able to hurt it in the slightest.
But how did he know that the black iron feather arrow shot into the demon wolf's eyeballs, and the red and white things mixed with blood and unknown liquid splashed everywhere, and the demon wolf's mouth let out a terrible scream. It was frightened, it was dazed, it couldn't figure out why the arrow shot by this ant-like mortal in front of it was so terrifying?
The Iron Feather Arrow pierced through the back of the wolf's head and disappeared into the night sky. The heavy body of the demon wolf fell to the ground with a bang, his huge eyes were full of lingering fear, and a large pool of black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he was already out of breath.
Chang Xi, who was not far away, was still holding his bow and shooting arrows, and he hadn't recovered from the shock of the demon wolf being killed by an arrow, and the murderous demon wolf just died like this? The killing intent in Fang Cai's chest seemed to disappear with the arrow. He pinched his face fiercely, unable to believe it.
The remaining two demon wolves exploded all over their bodies, and they were about to pounce on them and tear this strange Terran boy to pieces, but they suddenly stopped in mid-air, and their huge wolf eyes were full of fear, and they were about to turn around and flee!
"You read that right, it's your arrow. A slightly magnetic voice sounded leisurely from behind Chang Xi.
"Who?" Chang Xi heard this unfamiliar voice and hurriedly turned around in surprise.
A man in a pale blue robe stepped out of the shadows.
The man's appearance is very handsome. A head of hair shining with the color of black jade was casually draped over his shoulders, two sword eyebrows flying obliquely, especially the pair of eyes as deep as the night sky, just one glance, Chang Xi felt as if he was about to be sucked into the whirlpool hidden in those eyes, and he was so shocked that he quickly turned his head and turned his gaze away. With this flick of his head, Chang Xi found that the two demon wolves had not run a few steps before they were slashed through their necks by two long swords that fell from the sky, and in an instant, the wolf's head fell to the ground, and there was no longer any life.
Chang Xi was horrified, but at the same time, he also realized that the handsome man in front of him could kill the demon wolf so cleanly, which was absolutely extraordinary.
Chang Xi gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart. Without hesitation, he knelt down in front of the handsome man, kowtowed three times, and when he reached the third knock, Chang Xi's forehead was already full of blood, but he didn't realize it, buried his forehead deep in the dirt, and choked up.
"Please... Please ask the immortal master to avenge our village!Chang Xi is willing to be a slave and a servant, before and after the saddle!"
The handsome man looked at Chang Xi who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, smiled and nodded somewhere in the sky, and a faint sound of breaking the air suddenly flew into the distance of the fire. The handsome man then turned his head to look at the small mountain village where the monsters were entrenched not far away, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The Demon Removal Guardian Dao is the perseverance of my generation of monks, stand up." The handsome man's right hand was raised lightly, and then the two long swords flashed with white light, cutting through the night sky and rushing towards the mountain village like two white swords. I saw a dazzling sword flash suddenly in the mountain village, and the roar of the monsters in the mountain village suddenly stopped.
Chang Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, also got up from the ground in shock after hearing the roars of the monsters in the village disappear. The handsome man in front of him just moved his fingers and instantly strangled these raging monsters. It's really a stream of immortals!
The handsome man walked up to Chang Xi's father, and by this time the burly man had lost all his life with blood drained.
"What a man who stands up to the sky. You should be proud to have such a father. This is the soul crossing technique, a spell between monks, used to surpass the soul of the dead, you can rest assured. ”
The handsome man raised his hand and struck a golden spell, and the burly man's body suddenly turned into little by little spots of light floating in the wind. Chang Xi looked at the flecks of light flying in the sky around him, undulating around him, as if telling endless concerns. Chang Xi's eyes were moist, his knees slowly knelt down, and he trembled with his hands and covered this little spot of light on his chest, as if he wanted to cover this spot of light into his body, tears rolled down to the ground, and a choked sobs like beasts came out of his throat to make people understand what kind of pain this child who was only twelve or thirteen was suffering.
After a long time, the little spots of light dissipated. Chang Xi fell to his knees and looked into the distance, feeling dazed.
Dozens of miles away, the city of Huizhou was full of wolf smoke, and a large number of monks rushed in the sky, and the flames that soared to the sky were gradually extinguished in the overwhelming legal decisions of a group of monks. The monsters that were originally raging in Huizhou City were defeated by the monks and quickly cleared up. It's just that who can know that the mortals in Huizhou City who can wait for tomorrow's dawn can have geometry.
The handsome man stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the whiteness of the fish belly gradually rising in the distant sky, and slowly closed his eyes, as if he had made some decision.
"Boy, are you willing to cultivate immortals?"
When this voice echoed in Chang Xi's ears, he couldn't believe it.
The word immortal cultivation was so far away for him. It is a great blessing for ordinary people to be able to see immortals with their own eyes. But now, the path of cultivating immortals that he dreamed of was already right in front of him! As long as he could become an immortal, his parents' blood feud would definitely be avenged! Thinking of this, he felt that the blood in his body was boiling at this moment.
Chang Xi was excited, sat upright and bowed respectfully to the handsome man: "The master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." But when he was about to bend down, he found that there seemed to be a gentle force in his chest, and he could not bend it no matter what.
"I'm not your master yet. The handsome man looked at Chang Xi who was in a strange posture, although he couldn't help but feel funny, but the expression on his face was still indifferent: "This seat has checked your body, to be honest, your spiritual root is very bad, and it is not suitable for cultivating immortals." With your spiritual root level, you will not have the slightest chance to participate in the preliminary examination of the sect. ”
When Chang Xi heard this, his originally restless heart also calmed down.
"yes... Cultivating immortals is the dream of many people, how can it casually fall on their heads..."Chang Xi muttered, although he didn't know what the so-called "spiritual root" in the handsome man's mouth was, but it must be a very important thing.
"But cultivating immortals, talent is only one of them, and it doesn't represent everything. Cultivating immortals is a matter of rebellion, if you give up cultivation just because of a mere talent, how can you talk about going against the sky? If the talent is not enough, then you will pay ten, hundred, or even a thousand times more effort than others! Chang Xi! Do you understand?" There seemed to be some kind of strange power in the handsome man's loud voice, allowing Chang Xi to comprehend the subtlety.
When Chang Xi heard this, his originally lowered head was raised suddenly. The frustration in his eyes was swept away, replaced by a raging fire and a desire for cultivation!
"yes... If you don't suffer hardship, how can you be a master? Didn't you teach me the same way?" Chang Xi secretly clenched his fists, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
When the handsome man saw Chang Xi like this, he was also extremely satisfied. The right hand was raised, and a gentle force supported Chang Xi, who was kneeling, to stand up.
"The rules of sect selection are insurmountable, so this seat will give you a special trial. As long as you pass, those pedantic guys in the sect will have nothing to say at that time," the handsome man stood beside the cliff and whispered. Chang Xi stood quietly behind the handsome man, waiting for the next word.
"Twenty thousand miles north from here is Qingyun Mountain. Chang Xi, if you can overcome the hardships and dangers of 20,000 miles along the way to the foot of my Qingyun Mountain in three years. At that time, you were my disciple of Qingyun Mountain. The handsome man turned his head to look at Chang Xi behind him, with a hint of indescribable meaning in his eyes.
Chang Xi's heart was shocked. Qingyun Mountain, as the most prestigious sect of cultivating immortals in the territory of Huizhou at its feet, is naturally known to everyone. I heard that Qingyun Mountain is full of sword immortals holding three-foot Qingfeng, who can drive the flying sword to take the head of the enemy general Xiang Shang and thousands of troops, and even fly the sword to travel above the nine heavens.
However, 20,000 miles is an unimaginable number for Chang Xi. The farthest door he had ever gone out of was only Huizhou City, which was dozens of miles away from the village, and he was startled when he suddenly heard this number. Twenty thousand miles... Will it come to the end of the day?
"20,000 miles, for a twelve-year-old child, can be said to be very far away. You may die in the belly of an animal, or you may die of a stubborn disease, or you may fall into some unknown mountain stream and die alone. Do you dare?" the handsome man seemed to see what Chang Xi was thinking, and asked in an indifferent tone.
"Why don't you dare. Chang Xi raised his head and looked directly into the handsome man's eyes for the first time, and there was a determined fire in his eyes.
The handsome man's eyes when he looked at Chang Xi became fierce in vain, and Chang Xi, who was watching, felt as if his whole body had been peeled clean under this gaze, and all the secrets were exposed. Under the pressure of a powerful momentum, he couldn't even move a finger, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks. But even so, he still stubbornly raised his head and looked at the handsome man in front of him without fear.
The fire in his eyes burned brightly.
The handsome man's fierce momentum was fleeting, and a smile of approval finally appeared on his indifferent face. Flipping his hand, he took out a delicate wooden plaque and handed it to Chang Xi. "Okay, putting oneself in the place of death and being born after oneself is the foundation of cultivation. You put away this wooden card, this wooden card has my Qingyun Mountain's sect sigil left, all my Qingyun Mountain disciples, all of them know. If you can bring this card to me within three years as agreed, you will pass the trial. ”
As soon as the wooden sign was started, Chang Xi felt a faint warmth coming from the wooden card. Look closely at this wooden plaque is indeed finely carved, the front solemn and simple two words "Qingyun" appear particularly majestic and majestic. Turning over the back, it is a rather beautiful landscape painting.
"It's not too early, the demon calamity in Huizhou has been basically controlled. So Xiao Changxi, I hope you and I can see you again in three years. The handsome man looked at the early sun that was about to leap out of the horizon in the distance, and his figure gradually became blurred.
"Immortal Master, haven't asked your name yet?" Chang Xi saw the handsome man's gradually blurred figure, and hurriedly said.
"Qingyun Mountain, Qinglan. ”
As soon as the words fell, Qinglan's figure dissipated in the early morning sun.
The warm morning sun shone on the young man's shoulders, as if to dispel the cold of last night, Chang Xi carefully stroked the wooden card in his hand, and his eyes slowly closed.
The conviction in my heart has never been stronger.
