Chapter 7: First Encounter
This is a dense mountain forest, no one passes through on weekdays, in order to save time, Liu Xiangsheng chooses to pass through this uninhabited mountain forest alone every time he goes down the mountain to sell firewood, which can save half an hour's time.
But this time he encountered a massacre, an old man covered in blood stumbled into Liu Xiangsheng who was hurrying, the old man glanced at him and realized that it was not the group of people who were in ambush, and he wanted to continue to hurry, but at this moment more than ten masked people dressed in black surrounded him from all sides.
There were still undried blood stains on the swords of each of them, and it seemed that although the old man had broken through their encirclement, he was still caught up by them after all.
Liu Xiangsheng looked at the old man and the killers around him, and instinctively leaned against the old man.
"If you want to live, don't meddle in your business, hurry up", one of the men in black spoke in a suppressed voice, as if he was afraid of being recognized by others.
"Little brother, you better go quickly, these people are not something you can deal with", the old man seemed to be injured a lot, and he endured the pain between his words.
Although Liu Xiangsheng is not very old, he also knows right and wrong, he glanced at the old man and blocked in front of the old man, "In broad daylight, why should this old man be killed by you for no reason?"
"And do you know that there is Luoyang Mountain near here, and there are some fairy characters in it, aren't you afraid of being known by them?"
"I didn't expect you to be a poor boy to teach me a lesson", the man in black led by the opposite side obviously wouldn't waste too much time on this hairy boy,
"Since you don't value your life, I'll help you"
The man in black was about to make a move, but he heard the old man sigh, "Stop it, I'm willing to offer Neidan, I just ask the hero to spare the life of this young man and my granddaughter."
The old man looked into his arms, his eyes were full of sadness and regret, "She is still young and has not yet cultivated the Inner Dan, and it has no effect on the hero, I just ask you to reward her with a way to live."
There were a few mournful screams from the old man's arms, but the milk added a bit of sadness.
The old man looked at the man, and then said, "As long as you agree to my conditions, I am willing to cut myself off and offer Nedan both hands, if you don't promise me, even if you destroy Nedan and you won't let you get it."
The man looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes hesitated, and after a while, the man made up his mind, "Okay, I promise you"
Then the man let out a low groan, waved his hand, and the man in black behind him took the initiative to give way to a road.
The old man looked at Liu Xiangsheng and was very loving, "Little brother, the old man still wants to trouble you to take my granddaughter to a safe place and then release her to life, and the old man will pray for you to live a long life after he dies", and then took out the thing in his arms, a little fox with a blood-red body.
Liu Xiangsheng was duty-bound, but after seeing that the old man's granddaughter was actually a little fox, he hesitated slightly, and dared to love the old man in front of him.
In the past, when he was in his hometown, he often heard people mention the story of the fox demon turning into a beautiful woman to seduce scholars, but he didn't expect to meet a real fox demon today.
may have seen Liu Xiangsheng's hesitation, and the old man said in a deep voice, "Little brother, please."
Liu Xiangsheng also understood that it was not the time to dwell on these things now, so he had to take the little fox and said suddenly, "Don't worry, my Liu Xiangsheng will do what he says."
The little fox seemed to know what this meant, and struggled unwillingly, and let out a mournful cry.
"Xiaoyu, let's go, let's go, we must live", looking at Liu Xiangsheng and the little fox who were slowly moving away, the old man whispered, "Grandpa can't accompany you anymore"
After he could no longer see the young man, the old man regained the arrogance of the Spirit Fox Clan, and said solemnly, "The old man is about to die, can you tell me which faction you belong to, so that I can die blindly."
Who knew that the man in black was disdainful, and deliberately said in a hoarse voice, "Since you are going to die, don't worry about it so much, when you go to the underworld, just remember to reincarnate in the right life in the next life."
With that, he threw a dagger in front of the old man.
The old man pulled out his dagger with a sneer, "If the way of heaven exists, it will not let the blood of my clan drain in vain", the internal force is so deep that the leaves on the trees are falling in a row, and he killed himself after speaking.
The black-clothed man at the head had no mercy, and when he saw the old man kill himself, he stepped forward alone and stretched out a hand to exert a little effort, only to see a blood-red Neidan flying straight from the old man's body to his hand, and left here after sneering a few times.
......
A moment later, Liu Xiangsheng, who was on his way to death, was caught up by these black-clothed people, it seems that cutting grass and eradicating the roots is not only the practice of the gangs in the rivers and lakes, but also the consistent principle of these black-clothed people who practice spells.
Liu Xiangsheng hugged the injured little fox and stepped back, he felt the pressure of the person who came, the blood all over his body seemed to be coagulated in front of this murderous aura, and the bloodthirsty desire enveloped his whole person.
"What, scared?"
"I just gave you one more chance, it's too late"
After speaking, the man in black was about to make a palm, if there was no accident, this palm could definitely kill Liu Xiangsheng under the palm, who knew that suddenly a sound of breaking the sky suddenly came, and its momentum was staggering.
The man in black hurriedly flew out to dodge, but half of his arm was still cut off from his body by this blow in the air, and the man in black immediately stopped the acupoint to stop the bleeding with a strong will.
But even this great pain made him unsteady and painful, but fortunately two companions helped him in time.
"Dare to ask what kind of person your Excellency is, why... I'm going to get involved in this matter too," said the man in black, gritting his teeth in pain.
An old man wearing a black cloak, white hair and silver hair stood straight in front of Liu Xiangsheng like an ancient pine, "Why do you want to go back on your word when you have promised others?"
"This", the man in black was speechless.
"I hope you can learn to keep your promises in the next life", the man in black was shocked, and before he could react, he was cut in two by a wind blade turned into an internal force, and more than ten accomplices and the surrounding trees fell down together.
Although this mysterious person had deliberately controlled it, Liu Xiangsheng was a mortal after all, and the aftermath of the wave still stunned him to the ground, and the blood-red little fox also took the opportunity to escape from his hands.
"I know you're not an extraordinary thing, this world is not a place for you, so why don't you travel with me," said the mysterious man, looking at the little fox.
The little fox chirped a few times and nodded, then ran to the man in black who was split into several pieces to find an elixir, and ran back to the fainted Liu Xiangsheng and fed him with his mouth.
"Your grandfather's Neidan has been working for hundreds of years, you feed it directly to this mortal's mouth, do you know that this will hurt him", the mysterious old man shook his head,
"That's it, for the sake of your kindness, I'll help him", he said and stretched out his hand and spent a few spells on Liu Xiangsheng's body.
"In this way, he can slowly digest Nedan and not be filled with it and die, let's go, someone will come in a while"
The little fox glanced at Liu Xiangsheng, who had fallen to the ground, and jumped onto the arm of the mysterious old man, and the fox left the forest, leaving only the unconscious teenager.
But even the mysterious old man didn't know that the little fox had secretly stored the smell of the fallen boy in his memory......
