Chapter 5 The shepherd boy rides an old ox
There is a small mountain village on the edge of the southern mountain forest, and the villagers of this small mountain village are very comfortable from sunrise to sunset.
This small mountain village is called Peach Blossom Village, Peach Blossom Village is different from the outside, it is like spring all year round, and the village chief is also a cultivator who has cultivated to a high level.
When Weng Qixian first came to Peach Blossom Village, he happened to encounter the demon clan in the mountains and forests entering the village to grab food.
So Weng Qixian solved this matter easily, but Weng Qixian did not take the lives of any demon clan.
In Weng Qixian's words, it is not easy for everyone to live, and those demon clans did not hurt the lives of the villagers, but only left the leader of the demon clan to take care of the safety of the small mountain village.
There is a small stream outside Taohua Village, and there is an old cow drinking water standing by the stream, and a cowherd baby is sitting on the back of the old cow.
"Hey, I really don't know when the village chief's grandfather will allow me to go out, I really want to know what the world outside the village is like now. ”
The cowherd sat on the back of the old cow, looked down at the stream, and muttered to herself.
Suddenly, a man appeared on the other side of the stream, dressed in tatters, and with a clean face.
The cowherd raised her head by chance and saw a person on the other side of the stream, and when she saw what the person was wearing, she couldn't help but exclaim.
The man asked, "Let me ask you, which is the nearest city?"
After hearing this, the cowherd baby thought to herself, maybe it was a lost person, it's really pitiful, but how do I know which city is the latest, all these years have passed, and I haven't gone out, besides, I don't know any etiquette, I don't know how to call people?
So Li Mutong patted the old cow's head, and the old cow raised his head and turned to walk towards the path.
"This is a monstrosity? don't understand me? shouldn't it, look at what he's wearing is indeed a Zhongzhou person's dress. ”
Seeing Li Mu's fairy tale and leaving without saying anything, the man was a little strange.
After walking for a while, Li Mutong always felt that something was wrong behind him.
"Strange, why do I always feel that someone is following me, old cow, you. ”
Li Mutong, who was riding on the back of the old cow, patted the old cow's head.
The old cow turned his head and looked at it, and then continued to walk along the path.
After walking for a while, the path came to an end, and there was a small mountain village in front of me, which was Peach Blossom Village.
After watching Li Mutong walk into the village, Li Taibai slowly walked out.
When he walked to the entrance of the village, Li Taibai suddenly felt that someone was watching him.
"It's kind of interesting, such a remote mountain village actually has such cultivators. ”
As he spoke, Li Taibai raised his feet and prepared to walk towards the village.
As soon as he stepped into the village, Li Taibai noticed that everything around him was vigilant against him.
Some villagers had already discovered Li Taibai, and when they saw Li Taibai dressed, they took it for granted that he was another lost beggar.
Therefore, some people even went home to get a few clean clothes, and some took a bowl of porridge and walked towards Li Taibai.
The atmosphere of Peach Blossom Village has always been simple, these villagers are not cultivators, and they can't feel Li Taibai's realm.
Just when the villagers were about to arrive at the entrance of the village, a group of birds and beasts suddenly ran out.
The group of birds and beasts stared at Li Taibai with fierce eyes, they were the demon clan guarding this mountain village.
"Huh, the demon clan?"
Li Taibai watched more and more demon clans surround him, so he released some sword intent.
When the group of birds and beasts felt the sword intent, they all looked at Li Taibai in horror, and a few of them even fainted.
"Why should the immortal master do this to this group of demon clans who are guarding the village. ”
An old man walked slowly forward with a cane.
The person who came was Weng Qixian, the village chief of Peach Blossom Village.
When Li Taibai followed Li Mutong to a short distance from the entrance of the village, Weng Qixian felt a very powerful aura slowly approaching.
"Are you?" asked Li Taibai, looking at Weng Qixian.
After bowing, Weng Qixian said, "The village chief of Peach Blossom Village, Weng Qixian." Also ask the daimyo of the immortal master. ”
Li Taibai said: "Li Taibai. ”
When he heard these three words, Weng Qixian's heart chuckled.
"Let me ask you, who is the sword master of the Sword Domain now?"
Li Taibai said.
"When the old man first came to Peach Blossom Village, the previous generation of sword master Yue Jiao had already passed away, and the current sword master should be Chen Yu and Chen Jian Master is the same. ”
Weng Qixian said calmly and slowly stretched his right hand into his sleeve.
Looking at Weng Qixian's movements, Li Taibai was a little helpless.
After that incident happened back then, the name of evil cultivator was completely deducted from his head.
Even some of the people who usually drank and had fun and practiced their own things cut off from him, and some of them even followed the group to kill him.
"Sure enough, Weng Jushi, can you give me some clean clothes?"
Hearing Li Taibai's words, Weng Qixian took out a few pieces of clothes from his belongings bag and handed them to Li Taibai.
"The old way of Quenching Dream Valley has not yet soared?"
Li Taibai asked suddenly.
Weng Qixian handed over the clothes for a moment, and then replied: "Not yet." ”
Li Taibai thanked him after taking the clothes, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the village.
Looking at Li Taibai's distant back, Weng Qixian felt a little complicated in his heart.
。。。
"Hey, old cow, old cow, when will my illness get better? ”
On a plain, Li Mutong rode an old cow and muttered to himself.
"Eh, isn't that the same person that day? ”
Just when Li Mutong was looking for a place where the old cow could drink water, Li Mutong suddenly saw the person he had met last time by the stream.
"Hey, Hanako, why are you still here. ”
Li Mutong shouted loudly at Li Taibai.
On the other side of the plain, Li Taibai was watching the colorful butterflies in front of him fluttering in the air.
"What a coincidence. Li Taibai chuckled and said to Li Mutong.
"Hey, your clothes seem familiar. By the way, why are you still here?"
Faced with Li Mutong's question, Li Taibai said: "I am lost on the road of life. ”
Li Mutong pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Cut, you're still confused, I think you're lost." ”
"By the way, I'm not called a cowherd baby, I have a name, my name is Li Mutong. ”
"Oh, what a coincidence, my surname is Li, and my name is Li Taibai. ”
On that day, the breeze on the plain gently rubbed the grass, and the cowherd baby riding the old cow and the evil cultivator who was once famous all over the world officially met on that plain.
。。。
There is an ancestral hall in Taohua Village, which is specially used to worship ancestors and hold village meetings.
Bypassing the ancestral hall, you can see a small house behind the ancestral hall, which is where the village chief Weng Qixian lives.
Originally, the villagers wanted to build a larger house for Weng Qixian, but Weng Qixian stopped them.
Weng Qixian said: "What a cultivator cultivates is to explore the unknown, pursue the path of ascension, and enjoy so much work. ”
In fact, it was said that it was so, but only Weng Qixian knew.
When he came out of the Quenching Dream Valley, it was because he didn't want to be like his master in order to ascend, it would be too boring.
So he left the Quenching Dream Valley and traveled around, and finally settled in Peach Blossom Village.
There is no other reason than the beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Village. For Weng Qixian, who has been practicing in the Quenching Dream Valley since he was a child, everything in the world is beautiful after traveling for so many years.
"Hey, confused, confused, if I had been decisive that day, perhaps the shepherd boy's illness would have been cured. ”
A sigh came from the hut behind the ancestral hall.
Many years ago, when Weng Qixian went out of the village to Chen Liucheng, he picked up a child on the way, and this child was the grown up Li Mutong.
At first, I didn't notice anything wrong, but when Li Mutong grew up, when Weng Qixian inadvertently asked Li Mutong about his pulse, he found that the veins in Li Mutong's body were particularly delicate, and this was not a vein suitable for cultivation.
But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Weng Qixian found that Li Mutong's veins were filled with an extremely strange sword intent.
Weng Qixian had never seen such a strange sword intent, so he didn't dare to move.
Later, as time passed, Li Mutong's body began to show some strange symptoms.
For example, after a while, I will feel that my whole body hurts like being pricked by needles, and for example, my body is often inexplicably cut out.
Whenever Li Mutong's illness attacked, Weng Qixian could only irrigate Li Mutong's whole body with gentle internal qi.
As he grew older, the interval between the onset of Li Mutong's illness became shorter and shorter.
Weng Qixian has visited many places, and even visited Kunlun Divine Palace and Medical Valley, and everyone said that they had never seen this strange disease, and they were not sure that it could be cured.
Later, someone said that since it was sword intent, you might as well go to the sword domain to have a look.
At that time, the sword master was already Chen Yu, but after Chen Yu saw it, he also said that there was no way.
The last life-saving straw was also cut off by that dangerous sword intent, and Weng Qixian had no choice but to take Li Mutong back to Peach Blossom Village.
In recent days, the probability of Li Mutong's illness has changed from an interval of one week to an interval of two or three days, and just when Weng Qixian felt that Li Mutong's time was running out, the genius disciple Li Taibai, who was famous all over the world and was known as a rare person in the Sword Domain for thousands of years, appeared in this remote place.
Why did he hesitate in the first place, Weng Qixian regretted it.
Maybe Li Taibai has the ability to cure it radically, even if he can't cure it, maybe he knows who the owner of this sword intent is.
Just when Weng Qixian was annoyed, a small short sword flew over outside the ancestral hall.
After the short sword flew in front of Weng Qixian, Li Taibai's voice came.
"Weng Jushi, please come to the plain seven miles away, there is a lake next to it, and it is easy to find. ”
Hearing this, Weng Qixian was shocked at the moment.
Li Mutong rode the old cow out, and the direction was the plain.
I just didn't realize it because of my chagrin.
Weng Qixian directly sacrificed the Ten Thousand Miles Talisman and pinched a magic duel in the direction where the flying sword came from.
Suddenly, Weng Qixian appeared beside Li Taibai, and at this time, Li Taibai frowned and looked at Li Mutong who fell to the ground.
Li Mutong's whole body was blue and purple for a while, as if he had been poisoned by some kind of poison.
At the same time, Li Mutong's body also showed some wounds.
When Weng Qixian saw this, he immediately sat down and prepared to use his internal qi, but when he wanted to treat Li Mutong as usual, he was stopped by Li Taibai.
"Wait, don't move. ”
Li Taibai looked at Li Mutong calmly, and stretched out his hand to stop Weng Qixian.
Before Weng Qixian could say anything, Li Taibai said, "If you forcibly treat him with the unique internal qi of the Quenching Dream Valley, he will not be able to hold out a few times, and he will be torn apart by those sword intents." ”
After speaking, Li Taibai summoned the flying sword and hung the flying sword above Li Mutong's head.
"The sword intent in his body is familiar to me, it was done by some rebel swordman. ”
Li Taibai put his hands together and silently recited the sword technique.
Hearing what Li Taibai said, Weng Qixian was overjoyed, so he watched quietly.
The time of a cup of tea has passed, and the sword intent in Li Mutong's body has slowly calmed down.
"You didn't take him to the Sword Domain?"
Li Taibai asked after putting the sword in his sleeve and standing up.
"Naturally, I have been there, but Jian Master Chen is helpless. ”
Weng Qixian said helplessly.
"That's right, he happened to be absent when the master talked about the unity style, but when he came back, the master said that each had its own fate. ”
Li Taibai said while carrying a soft sword intent and dragging Li Mutong's body.
"Layman, this kid is not suitable for practicing the Tao of your Dream Valley, but he is quite suitable for inheriting my swordsmanship. ”
Li Taibai stood up and said to Weng Qixian.
Weng Qixian asked worriedly, "But the sinister sword intent in the shepherd boy's body..."
Li Taibai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, my unification form can soften the sword intent in his body, and if he cultivates it himself, the effect is even more significant." And I've been hunting down that rebel for years. ”
Hearing this, Weng Qixian was relieved, but he thought that the grandson he picked up was about to go out with someone, followed by Li Taibai, who was fighting together in the world, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Li Taibai naturally saw Weng Qixian's thoughts, but he didn't say anything.
"In that case, then please go to Peach Blossom Village to settle down for a few days, and let the shepherd boy follow you on the road when he is almost well. ”
Weng Qixian thought about Li Taibai's seniority in the sword domain, how could he still shout at his junior brother.
Li Taibai didn't care about these red tapes, but nodded.
After Weng Qixian picked up Li Mutong, he thought about sacrificing the Wanli Fu and took Li Mutong's body into account, and then accepted the Wanli Fu.
There was no word all the way, only the occasional mooing of the old cow.
Thinking back on all this, Weng Qixian felt more and more like an ordinary person who could practice.
will worry about everything around you, and your emotions will be more obvious.
That's pretty good, because no one is born a cultivator by nature.
Thinking about the decision to come out of the Quenching Dream Valley in the first place, this decision was really good.
Anyway, there is no hope of ascension, so it is better to take a look at the scenery that I have never seen before, which is also good.
It's just a pity that he has lived longer than the people in Peach Blossom Village, so he has also seen a lot of joys and sorrows.
Life and death can't be controlled, so why not enjoy the process.
