It is said that this morning, the two brothers of Yanxing and Yanxing were chatting in the main hall:

"Senior brother, over the years, under your wise leadership, our Tianshan sect has developed rapidly, and now it has become the fourth largest sect of rivers and lakes after Shushan, Kunlun, and Penglai. Senior brother, junior brother, I have to admire you!" he said, and bowed deeply towards Senior Brother Yanxing.

Yan Xing didn't think so, stroked his beard, and said: "Senior brother, it's not that I said you, but just like this, you are proud and complacent!

Yan Shi couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Little brother, I don't have your ambitions, so naturally I don't have you to see the long term." It's just that the junior brother doesn't know, what are the plans of the senior brother in the future?"

Yan Xing stroked his beard and said, "Well, I don't have any land to fight, just do my best! I only hope that in my lifetime, I can develop the Tianshan Sect into the number one sect in the rivers and lakes!"

"What?" Yan Shi couldn't help but be stunned: "Senior brother, what you said is too unrealistic! You know, the three factions of Shushan, Kunlun, and Penglai have a history of hundreds of years, and my Tianshan faction has only been established for more than 30 years, so how can this be achieved by casually talking?"

Yan Xing smiled and said, "This is also the reason why your senior brother and I are looking for Chu Ping today!"

Yan Shi felt even more puzzled, and asked, "Senior brother, do you want to count on him to help you realize your grand ambitions, this, how is this possible?"

Yan Xing glanced at Yan Xing and said with a smile: "What? You don't believe it? Okay, then you might as well wait and see!"

At this time, Chu Ping came to the main hall, knelt on the ground, and saluted upward: "Disciple Chu Ping, bow to Master and Uncle." I wonder if Master summoned his disciples to come here, what exactly do you have to explain?"

Yan Xing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Ping'er, you better get up first!"

"Yes, disciple, thank you, Master. Chu Ping stood up and stood there respectfully waiting.

Yanxing frowned slightly, and said with a little seriousness: "Ping'er, the teacher called you here today, there are indeed some things that need to be explained to you, I wonder if you are willing to take a hard trip for the teacher?"

Chu Ping saluted: "The master treats the apprentice as kind as a mountain, if there is a life, the apprentice will definitely go to the soup and the fire, and he will never give up!"

"Okay, that's good! That being the case, the teacher will be straightforward. Yan Xing got up and walked down the steps, came to Chu Ping, and continued: "Ping'er, now that you have achieved cultivation, the teacher wants you to go down the mountain to have a good experience, increase your knowledge, accumulate practical experience, and by the way, find a treasure for the teacher!"

"I don't know what kind of treasure it is, please let Master make it clear!"

"Mixed Yuan Beads. Yan Xing responded.

As soon as he heard Yan Xing mention the Mixed Yuan Bead, Yan Xing's heart couldn't help but "chuckle", and he only felt a bad premonition surging into his heart.

Chu Ping didn't know what the Mixed Yuan Bead was at all, so he made a gesture to Master Yan Xing and asked, "Dare to ask Master, I don't know what kind of treasure this Mixed Yuan Bead is, what are its characteristics? ”

"That's nature!" Yan Xing paced back and forth and continued: "This Mixed Yuan Bead is a treasure used to assist in cultivating internal strength, the shape is the size of a bowl, it was left to your master back then, that is, the master of the teacher, Yufeng Zhenren left it for the teacher. Unfortunately, just because of the teacher's negligence, this treasure was stolen by a group of thieves twenty-four years ago, and its whereabouts are still unknown, which has become a problem for the teacher.

The night before yesterday, the teacher unexpectedly found that something strange appeared in the southeast direction, and the teacher faintly felt that it was a sign of the reappearance of the mixed yuan bead. It's a pity, now that the teacher is old, this leg and foot are not as good as before, so how about the teacher want to ask Ping'er you to run an leg for the teacher?"

Chu Ping knelt down again and saluted: "Master, please rest assured, the apprentice will do his best to find the treasure for the master, in order to repay the master's kindness to the apprentice!"

Yan Xing smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay! Very good! The teacher is on this Tianshan Mountain, waiting for your good news! Remember, during the training, it is best to advance on foot, and you must not use this sect technique as a last resort, you know?"

"Yes! Chu Ping said.

Yan Xing returned to his seat and instructed his junior brother Yan Xing: "Senior brother, please go to the account room to get a silver ticket of one thousand taels and hand it over to Chu Ping as his food and lodging on the road. ”

"Okay, senior brother, junior brother, I'll do it!" Yan Xing exited the main hall and went straight to the account room.

In less than a pillar of incense, Yan took the silver ticket and returned to the hall, Chu Ping took the silver ticket, and then took the certificate of descent from the master Yanxing, thanked the two masters, and left the hall directly.

When Chu Ping left, Yan Xing asked Senior Brother Yanxing, "Senior Brother, I don't know why you said those words to Chu Ping just now, is it ......?"

"That's enough!" Yan Xing said, "I said, junior brother, in the future, you just need to assist senior brother and me to manage this Tianshan Mountain and do your part well, as for other things, you don't have to worry about that idleness." ”

"Yes...... , the junior brother's note. At this moment, Yan only felt that the bad premonition in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.

After turning the day, Chu Ping was about to go down the mountain with his luggage and baggage, and the second senior brother Ji Lei and the little junior sister Xiao Zining came to see him off. Ji Lei took the lead and said: "Third junior brother, after going down the mountain, you must be more careful in everything, remember, no matter what happens, you must ensure your own safety!"

Chu Ping nodded and responded, "Second Senior Brother, please rest assured, Senior Brother's note has been made." ”

Xiao Zining was a little reluctant, pouting and said, "Third Senior Brother, I don't know when you will come back when you go down the mountain this time, and I don't know who you will meet when you go down the mountain." Third Senior Brother, you, don't forget my little junior sister!" As soon as the words came out, a faint flush appeared on his cheeks.

Chu Ping stretched out his hand, patted her shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, how could I forget you, a smart, beautiful, lively and lovely little junior sister! ”

Xiao Zining smiled with satisfaction and said, "Really, don't lie to me, otherwise, I will never pay attention to you again." ”

Chu Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't lie to you, otherwise I'm the ......" As he spoke, he learned to make a "Wang Ba" crawling gesture with his hands. Xiao Zining couldn't help laughing.

Seeing her smile, Chu Ping said reassuringly: "Okay, little junior sister, it's not too early, you and the second senior brother will go back first, and I will go down the mountain." With that, Edgeworth flew away from the Tianshan Sect. Looking at Chu Ping's back as he gradually moved away, Xiao Zining was still reluctant to leave.

After Chu Ping Yujian flew down the Tianshan Mountain, he went straight to Xiaohua Village, preparing to go to the cemetery to pay respects to his parents.

When he came to the grave, Chu Ping first burned some paper money for his parents, and said softly: "Father, mother, please forgive the child for not coming to worship you for so long." Father, mother, the child has grown up, and you are under the Nine Springs, so you don't have to worry about the child anymore. Father, mother, you say, am I very unfilial, in the child's mind, everything about you, is so vague, child, child, I can't even remember the appearance of my father and mother. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Ping couldn't help but shed tears. Chu Ping wiped his tears with his sleeve and continued to choke up: "Father, mother, the child hopes to be your son in the next life, when the time comes, I only hope that God can take pity on me and give me a chance to support you two elders, so that our family can live happily together forever and enjoy the joy of family......"

After worshipping his parents, Chu Ping walked aimlessly. Somehow, I came to a long-abandoned house, only to see that it was already a ruined wall, and the yard was overgrown with wild grass more than half a person high. Chu Ping vaguely remembered that there was once a young child here who kept chasing his father, shouting while chasing:

"Daddy is bad, Daddy is bad......" and the father turned around and smiled: "Ping'er, hurry up and chase after you, catch up with Daddy, Daddy will buy you candy to eat." Soon, a woman came out of the house, and while scrubbing the dishes in her hand with a rag, she beckoned to the courtyard: "Ping'er, brother Quan, don't make trouble, hurry, come to the house for dinner!"

......

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Chu Ping couldn't help but murmur: "Dad, mother, the child is back, but where have you gone? Dad, mother, the child misses you so much! I really miss you! Dad, mother, where are you now......?" and couldn't help but shed tears.

At this time, an old woman quietly walked over, looked at Chu Ping, who was crying, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Young man, what's wrong with you, why are you standing here crying alone?

Chu Ping wiped away his tears and looked at the old woman in front of him carefully, but he also knew it. She is none other than the woman who insisted that she would be a human trafficker. Chu Ping smiled reluctantly and said, "Auntie, don't you know me, I'm Xiao Pingzi, I'm Xiao Pingzi, the son of the Chu family!"

"Xiao Pingzi, are you really Xiao Pingzi?" the old woman carefully looked Chu Ping up and down, and kept asking.

"Yes, auntie, I'm really Xiaopingzi!" Chu Ping replied resolutely.

It turns out that since Chu Ping grew up, although she went down the mountain every once in a while to worship her parents, she had never returned to the village, and naturally the old woman had never met Chu Ping. The old lady took a closer look, but found that Chu Ping was really a little similar to Chu Fangquan back then, plus she found that Chu Ping's clothes were somewhat similar to those of the past, which determined Chu Ping's identity.

The old lady smiled in surprise: "Oh! You are really Xiaopingzi." Xiao Pingzi, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, I can't imagine that you have grown into a young man now, no wonder my mother didn't recognize you! By the way, Xiao Pingzi, how have you been doing all these years?"

"It's good, thank you for your concern. Chu Ping nodded in response, and then continued to ask: "May I ask my aunt, I don't know what happened in our village, how did it become so desolate?"

"Ahem!" the old woman sighed and said, "In this world, officials have meat to eat, but people in this kind of land can't even drink porridge. As long as they don't come to harm us poor people, that's very good, where can you expect them to protect us!"

Hearing her words, it seemed that she was full of resentment towards the official, and Chu Ping couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Auntie, what happened, is it ......?"

The old woman then sighed and said: "Ahem! It's hard to put it into words! Xiao Pingzi, you don't know, some time ago, there was a military disaster in our area, and I don't know where a bunch of thieves and soldiers came from, and they took whatever they saw and robbed whatever they saw! As long as someone resists a little, the guys in their hands don't recognize anyone! Many people have given away their lives in vain. In addition, they have robbed us of a lot of yellow flower girls here! I guess they won't survive. After that, I couldn't help but shed tears.

"Damn! these brutes, they're so mad, so inhuman. Chu Ping was so angry that the three corpses were exposed, and the seven orifices were smoking, and he scolded angrily. Then, he asked the old lady, "Auntie, why don't you people flee to other places?"

The old lady shook her head helplessly and said, "Ahem! Those who can escape have already fled, and only we old and weak are left here." Besides, we've been living here for most of our lives, so how can we be willing to leave! But then again, these bunnies have already come here to make trouble, and they probably won't come back, and it's safe here. Isn't that reasonable, you say?

Chu Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "That's the same." ”

The old lady took Chu Ping's hand and said, "Let's go, Xiao Pingzi, it's rare to go back to the village, go with the eldest mother, go to the eldest mother's house to sit down, and drink tea!"

Chu Ping hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need for aunt, I still have important things to do, so I don't need to trouble your old man so much." ”

The old lady then spread her hand and said, "Since this is the case, then the eldest lady will not force you to stay." It's just that after you finish your work, you must come again, and when the time comes, I will treat you well. ”

Chu Ping nodded, and responded: "Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely come when the time comes." Shall I go first?"

The old woman nodded and said, "Well, let's go, be careful on the road." ”

"Got it, auntie, take care of yourself in the future!" Chu Ping turned around and left the village.

Looking at Chu Ping's fading back, the old woman muttered to herself: "Brother Fang Quan, Sister Qianru, your son has grown up now, if the two of you know it underground, you can also look at it." ”

Leaving Xiaohua Village, sleeping in the open air along the way, crossing the mountains and mountains, crossing the river and crossing the river, after several days of hiking, on this day, Chu Ping came to a mountain road sandwiched between the two mountains, only to hear the sound of shouting for help in front of him, Chu Ping suddenly felt bad, and exclaimed: "Not good, someone must be in danger!"

I don't know what happened before?
