Chapter 1: Young Qiao Yuan
Qingfeng Village is located in a dense jungle in the west of Chushui Kingdom, built by the mountains and living by the water. The name of the mountain is Qingfeng Mountain, and the name of the water is Qingfeng River, which is a branch of Chu Water that runs through the Chu Water Country.
Eighty miles east of Qingfeng Mountain, there was a jungle with no one in sight.
Dozens of trees in the jungle cover the sky and the sun, weeds and thorns are dense, and the intertwined roots look like hideous pythons, and there is no sound here except for some birds chirping and small beasts roaring. The silence was broken by a very piercing laughter.
"Haha...... Boy, you can't run away. ”
"Huh...... Little brother, if you honestly go back with us, I will definitely report to the master, and I will definitely let you join the sect when the time comes. ”
Two young men stood on the branch of an old tree, one smiling wildly, the other smiling gently, both staring at a figure fifty feet away from them who was running away.
The man on the left is wearing a black shirt, with thick arms and thighs exposed, short black hair, a hideous scar on his left cheek, and a fierce and impatient look in his eyes, which makes people be frightened by his fierce appearance at first sight.
The man on the right is handsome, his face is as white as jade, he is wearing a white robe, and his right hand is gently shaking a folding fan. Although his words were polite and his smile was gentle, there was contempt in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"Who the hell are you guys, and why are you arresting me?"
It was the figure that was running away quickly. The figure was not strong, even a little thin.
On closer inspection, it was a fifteen-year-old teenager. The young man was wearing a white shirt, no more than five feet three, his long black hair was scattered to his shoulders, and his arms were slender and dark with some striped scars, which looked like he had been shuttling in the mountains and forests all year round. His face is very delicate, his big eyes are bright, and he looks like an extremely clever and intelligent person, but at this moment his eyes are full of anxiety.
The boy's name is Qiao Yuan, who lives in Qingfeng Village, and wants to hunt two pheasants this time when he goes down the mountain. Unexpectedly, Qiao Yuan had just shot a pheasant, and was running over with an excited face. But he saw a rope flying towards him in front of him, the rope was as fast as a poisonous snake pounced on its prey, and it was in front of Qiao Yuan's eyes in an instant.
Fortunately, Qiao Yuan has been shuttling through the jungle all year round, and he has long been accustomed to the attack of poisonous snakes. Qiao Yuan's footsteps quickly stopped, his body turned to the right side, his hands immediately grabbed the rattan on the right side, and his footsteps swung three feet away, stepping on a tree branch.
Qiao Yuan stood on the branch of the tree and looked at the direction in which the rope was flying, but in a moment, two young men galloped from a distance. The two young men stood on top of the tree trunk, their faces playful, and they looked at Qiao Yuan as if they had seen prey caught by their hands.
The two youths did not speak, as if they felt the need to talk nonsense with a prey that had been captured. The scholar young man directly took back the rope that had just been struck empty, smiled slightly, and threw it towards Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan saw that the rope looked like a living poisonous snake, and he actually flexibly avoided some tree branches.
He secretly said in his heart that the one who came was not good, and the good one did not come, he had never met these two people, and these two people almost met without giving a chance to speak, it was unreasonable, and he was going to capture himself directly.
Qiao Yuan didn't have time to think much about the identities and origins of these two people, and turned around and galloped away into the distance.
With his familiarity with the jungle, Qiao Yuan shuttled between the thorn trees very flexibly.
The two young men in the back were obviously coming to this jungle for the first time, although the speed was faster, they had never been able to catch up with Qiao Yuan, and as they chased farther away, the trees and thorns became more dense, and in some places they could not pass at all.
Qiao Yuan fled in front, and the two young men followed closely behind, and the distance was always kept within a hundred zhang. Qiao Yuan couldn't get rid of the two youths, and it was difficult for the two young people to catch up with Qiao Yuan, so there was the previous scene.
"Huh...... Little brother, don't be afraid, we are disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, do you want to become an immortal. If you go back with us, I will definitely recommend you to the master, and then you will be able to join the sect and become an immortal. ”
The young man with the scar was about to scold, but was stopped by the young scholar who raised his hand. The scholar young man waved his fan, shook it gently, showed a gentle smile on his face, and slowly said some words, his appearance looked very easy to make people feel good.
Qiao Yuan's expression changed greatly when he heard the words of the scholar young man, his body and mind were shocked, and his eyes were full of strong shock.
Cultivating the disciples of the Immortal Sect and becoming immortals. These words, every sentence made Qiao Yuan's heart already set off turbulent waves, these things only appeared in his dreams, and even several times he dreamed that he had become an immortal, soaring between the heavens and the earth, and doing whatever he wanted.
Now there is a person who told Qiao Yuan that as long as he goes back with them, he will be able to become a disciple of the Immortal Cultivation Sect and become an immortal. This temptation made his heart thump, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, feeling a little dry.
Qiao Yuan stood in place in a daze, and the scene of himself soaring through the clouds unconsciously appeared in his mind.
"Whew......"
Just when Qiao Yuan was immersed in the fantasy of becoming an immortal, the young man with scar grinned and let out a piercing grin, directly took out a dagger the size of a palm, and threw it at Qiao Yuan.
The dagger was extremely sharp, its speed was extremely fast, it broke through many branches that stood in front of it, and went straight to Qiao Yuan's thigh, it seemed that it was going to waste his legs and feet, leaving a living mouth.
At this time, Qiao Yuan was looking down and fantasizing, and scenes appeared in his mind. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a dagger breaking through the air, and immediately looked up ahead, only to see a palm-sized black dagger coming straight for his thigh.
Qiao Yuan's expression changed, and his eyes showed an anxious look, but it turned decisive in a moment.
Qiao Yuan thought that it must be too late to dodge at this moment, it was better to fight, he must not let his leg be injured, otherwise he would definitely not be able to escape this time.
So he directly stretched out his hands in front of him, and it looked like he wanted to block the dagger with his bare hands.
"Haha...... What an idiot!"
When the young man with scar saw this scene, he laughed even louder, his eyes revealed a thick contempt, and he said with great disdain.
Qiao Yuan saw that the dagger had penetrated a waist-thick tree trunk very simply, and he sighed in his heart, knowing that he had underestimated the sharpness of this dagger, and at this time, it was too late to make other moves.
"It's over, I'm only fifteen years old, and I'm going to be crippled for the rest of my life. ”
Qiao Yuan's eyes showed despair, and his heart was extremely anxious, looking at the dagger that came to him, as if he had seen the next scene of his hands and thighs being penetrated, and blood was gurgling.
Just when the dagger was still an inch away from Qiao Yuan's hands, the palm-sized dagger suddenly stopped in mid-air, quietly suspended in place, as if being pulled by a strange force.
"This ......"
"Impossible......"
Qiao Yuan's eyes were already full of despair, but the moment the dagger stopped, his eyes first showed an incredible color, and then turned into a color of excitement and joy, just stayed for a moment and withdrew dozens of feet away.
And the dagger had been parked there, as if frozen in mid-air.
When the young man with the scar saw this scene, his eyes immediately widened, and his eyes showed disbelief. He was still smiling a little longer, and when the dagger was still, his smile immediately stiffened, and his face twitched out a few words.
When the scholar young man saw this scene, his face suddenly became solemn, and the gentle smile on his face had long since dissipated.
The scholar looks weak on the surface, but he is scheming and extremely cautious. In the process of chasing Qiao Yuan, he has always released his divine sense to pay attention to the surrounding situation, and also left marks along the way, if there is an accident, he can escape with his whole body.
Before and after the dagger was still, the scholar's young senses had not detected anyone within a radius of several miles, but he believed that there must be a mysterious person hiding in the shadows.
There was silence all around, and only a few birds and birds could be heard. The scholar had an extremely bad feeling in his heart, and he could almost hear the sound of his own pounding heartbeat.
"He Fang's master is here, a disciple of the Yuan Sect in Xiatong, and he came here to test on the order of the master Yang Yan Zhenren. If there is any offense, I hope to see in the face of the real person of Tongyuan Sect Yang Yan, and bear with me. ”
The scholar young man took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, and hurriedly opened his mouth to carry out the name of the sect and its master, hoping to suppress this mysterious person.
"Humph......"
After the scholar young man finished speaking, he heard a cold snort from the distance, and then he felt a strong wind coming towards him. The wind made him feel irresistible, and swept him and Scar Youth straight into the sky, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Yuan stood on the trunk of the tree and witnessed this scene with his own eyes, his eyes were opened to the maximum, and the shock on his face had reached the point of no return. When he saw the two of them being swept away by the wind, he also reached out and rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe this scene.
"Xiaoyuan!"
Qiao Yuan saw the two disappear into the sky, his eyes still staring at the direction in which they disappeared. After a while, Qiao Yuan suddenly heard an extremely soft call behind him,
"Grandpa Xiao, it was you ...... just now"
Qiao Yuan suddenly turned around when he heard the voice, and saw a gray-robed old man with white hair and white beard standing not far behind him.
The old man looked seventy or eighty years old, although there were wrinkles on his face, there were not too many wrinkles, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he had a kind and kind smile on his face, which looked very easy to give rise to a sense of intimacy.
When Qiao Yuan saw the old man not far behind him, he immediately jumped and came to the old man's side, with an extremely happy expression on his face, but his eyes showed a look of surprise.
