On the willow tops of the moon, the long silence caused the birds to return to the branches and stop again.

Ji Dao Fei slowly opened his eyes, he felt something poking him in the back, so he reached out to touch it, but once again startled the birds behind him and fled. It turned out that it was just a bird pecking at his back, and he trembled and leaned on the branches, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, only the moon seemed to be close at hand, and the moon spots were particularly real.

I was still alive, and I took a deep breath, and my body eased a lot. He suddenly recalled the events of the day in his head, before he fell into a coma, he clearly remembered that he was playing with the black python, because of the reverse vein of the heavenly ribbon, the power of the five elements could not be sacrificed, and he could only wait to be devoured by the black python, but why would the black python let himself go at a critical moment? By the way, and that child, where is he now?

Ji Dao Fei glanced around, and in the shade of the trees at night, he could not see anything clearly by the weak moonlight. He stood up with his heart in his hands, and remembered the child's name, which should have been called "Youling" if I remembered correctly.

"Youling, Youling, where are you?"

Ji Dao Fei let out a faint cry, and his voice became more hoarse, and he found that his injuries were more serious than he had imagined, and the vitality in his body had decayed a lot, and his steps even began to stagger. But now he was only concerned about the child, and after he had repeated a few times, he could only hear the sound of the breeze beating the willow branches, except for startling more birds.

Suffered, could it be that the black python attacked this child?

Ji Dao Fei couldn't suppress this thought, so he walked from one branch to the other side to look for it, who knew that his legs were weak and weak, he tripped over the branch, and fell off the top of the willow tree at once, Ji Dao Fei was caught off guard, while climbing the willow branch, while his luck floated, but a violent cramp in his chest surged up, and his throat was jerky, but fortunately there were willow branches to slow down the force of the fall, but he still spit out a mouthful of blood when he fell to the ground!

"Wow..."

The fall from a height seemed to shake the injury again, but he was not at ease at all, because he suddenly found a person lying beside him, and by the sporadic moonlight, he recognized it as Lu Youling at a glance.

It's just that Lu Youling's face is facing down, and she is crawling on the ground motionless, not knowing whether she is dead or alive. Ji Dao Fei turned him over and gasped, and there was a scar on the left cheek of the child, from the corner of his eyebrow to the side of his cheekbone, and the wound ran through the upper and lower eyelids in a line.

Ji Dao Fei hurriedly probed Lu Youling's snort, fortunately, this little guy's life was saved, but I don't know how the injury to this eye is.

Ji Dao dragged Lu Youling to a slightly brightly lit position, unbuttoned his shirt, and then patted his right cheek with his hand.

"Youling, wake up... Wake up..."

After a few consecutive beats, Lu Youling's body squirmed a few times, and the eyelid of her right eye also opened a slit, but her left eye couldn't be opened, and the thick blood scab stuck the upper and lower eyelids together.

"God... Immortal, am I dead?"

Lu Youling opened her lips weakly, and shook her head.

"Snake, what about the serpent?"

"The black python didn't know where it had gone, and we were all safe and sound. ”

"Ah, my eyes... It hurts!"

"Don't move, the wound will burst out and bleed, I'll help you up first," Ji Dao Fei Lack itself was already very difficult, but his cultivation was extremely high, and after resting for a while, the vitality flowing in his body was slightly fuller, he helped Lu Youling up, carried one of his arms and dragged it forward, away from the shade of the towering willow tree, the brilliance of the moon was tilted like a note, as gorgeous as the day.

"Do your eyes still hurt?"

Extremely asked with concern, Lu Youling whispered: "It's still a little painful, but it's much better." ”

"Tell me where your home is, and I'll help you back first. ”

"It's not far from Guojia Village, but it's not my house, it's my Uncle Guo's house. ”

"Well, then I'll send you back first," Ji Dao Fei Que walked in the direction Lu Youling pointed out, and on the way to walk, Ji Dao Fei Que suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "When I fought with the black python just now, you saved me, right?"

"Yes, I remember that you said that its eyes were blind, so I sneaked close while you were fighting with it, and then shot it into the eye with the arrow in my hand, and after it was hit by the arrow, it stopped attacking you in pain, and turned to me, I quickly hung up the straw rope and climbed down, but it was very fast, and when I slid down, I heard the sound of a branch breaking, and then I was hit by its tail, and lost consciousness in an instant. ”

"It's really dangerous for you to do this, but it's also a mistake you've made. ”

"I was so scared that I thought I was going to die, but instead of taking the opportunity to eat me, the black python fled on its own. ”

"No wonder it suddenly stopped attacking me, thanks to you, otherwise I would have died here today. ”

"Immortal, what do you have to do with this black python, why did you wait for it here for three days and three nights? ”

"What can I do with this beast, except that I need something from it, and alas, it seems that I have not succeeded in it, and God does not favor me. ”

"What do you need on it?"

"I need one of its teeth to make a bucket for the other two things. ”

"It's actually made of black python teeth, and it should be filled with treasures, right?"

"Don't ask more, in short, my meridians are seriously injured, and only when these three things are collected can I recover. ”

"The gods don't want to say it, forget it, if it's an ordinary Dou Hu, I have more in my family, but if you want to take it from that monster, I think it's better to forget it." ”

Ji Dao shook his head noncommittally, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged in his heart, this black python is quite human, and it will definitely not appear here again if it is hit hard today, and it needs to find some clues, but the next time they meet, they can no longer fight with it like today, the reverse vein of the heavenly ribbon has been extremely serious, judging from the situation during the day, their cultivation seems to have retreated another layer, and there is absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on battle with it.

Unconsciously, the two walked back to Guo Qingquan's house, the house was dark, Lu Youling pointed to the courtyard door and said, "My Uncle Guo is not at home, he may have gone out to look for me, let's go first and talk about it." ”

Ji Dao Fei Fei helped Lu Youling back to his bed, Lu Youling told him that there was a well in the backyard, and Ji Dao Fei Fei came over to clean the wound on the left side of his face.

"How do you feel, can you open your eyes and see?" asked Ji Dao Fei anxiously, forgetting to wring out the square towel he was holding in his hand, and sweat was dripping down his arm.

"Uh, really...... It doesn't hurt anymore" Lu Youling thought that he couldn't let the gods see his cowardly appearance, so he had to lie, but he couldn't disguise it on his face, he bit his lip, his face was blue, and the beads of sweat on his forehead kept flowing. After a long time, the eyelids barely opened, and a dark and clear eyeball swirled back and forth in the eyes, "I seem to be able to see things clearly." ”

"Oh," Ji Dao Fei slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a blessing in misfortune that your eyes are safe, but I'm afraid this scar on your face won't go away." ”

"What does it matter? My father once left a scar on his right hand when he was guarding the border of Yundu, and I was quite envious. ”

"You little hairy boy is really more open-minded than I am, by the way, what's your father's name?"

Lu Youling hesitated for a moment, then said: "My father's name is Lu De. ”

"It turned out to be Situ Hongyuan's subordinates. ”

"How do you know my daddy?"

"I have never met, but your father is a fierce general, and he has heard a lot of brave and good deeds back then, so you are really from Yundu. ”

"Well, my dad sent me here, but he told me not to tell me about my background. ”

"In that case, then you still say it to me?"

"Naturally, there is no concealment of the fairy's question, by the way, the fairy, I am already dizzy with hunger, and the bird eggs you helped me dig out in the morning have been placed on the stove. ”

"You little hairy boy, okay, you lie down, I'll get it for you. ”

Looking at the child in front of him, he suddenly remembered the previous years, when he had not yet achieved cultivation, but just entered the realm of the 'Void Valley', he met a woman, this woman's face was like smoke and dust, and now in retrospect, it is like a drizzle in the twilight of winter and spring, and like the flying flotsam from the end of summer to autumn, which can be seen but cannot be grasped, and it makes people fascinated but secretly sad.

How could a trace of melancholy arise out of thin air when he had long since left the world? Ji Dao Feiqi smiled secretly, perhaps it was really wrong to choose the path of cultivating the fate and abandon the disturbances of the red dust.

Ji Dao made a bowl of egg custard for Lu Youling, and he ate a little bit of it. Although he didn't need to eat grains after reaching the Tianshou realm, Lu Youling let him taste it, he said that this nest of bird eggs was also bought by himself, and it was a comfort after being injured, and he should enjoy it together.

He was not tired of him, so he reluctantly agreed, and after he finished eating, he helped him clean the wound on his face, he intended to urge the flame to stop the bleeding wound for Lu Youling, and he was afraid that he would not be able to endure the torment, plus his vitality had not yet recovered, so he had to give up, sit cross-legged by himself, close his eyes and recuperate.

The next day, the roosters and dogs in the field were barking incessantly, waking up the two, and the wound on Lu Youling's face improved slightly, so he searched every room, but Guo Qingquan was still nowhere to be seen. The ten-year-old child sat on the ground at a loss, his parents did not come to pick him up, and now Uncle Guo was nowhere to be seen, and he was left alone.

"It's over, Uncle Guo didn't return all night, and I don't know where I went. ”

"What is the name of Uncle Guo in your mouth?"

"Guo Qingquan is my father's old acquaintance. ”

"We might as well go to other people's houses in the village and ask. ”

After the two said that, they went out to inquire together, and Guojia Village was already ten rooms and nine empty, but all the villagers who stayed here replied that they did not know.

"Did your Uncle Guo say where he went before leaving?"

"He said that he would go to the city to sell vegetables, and let me wait at home and come back in the evening, who knows who still can't find where the others are. ”

"In this way, maybe he is in Hazuki City, we can go there to find out the news, and by the way, we can help you buy some herbs for your face. ”

"But Uncle Guo didn't let me go out, I just waited at home, if I didn't listen to him, he wouldn't take me back to Yundu. ”

After hearing this, Ji Dao Fei laughed and said: "This kind of talk can only deceive you, a child, with feet on your own body, where can't you go where the world is so big?"

"But..."

"Don't do it, as a man, how can you do things like your mother-in-law, if you don't go, then I'll go alone. "Jidao is not lacking in pretending to be stunned, and no longer pays attention to Lu Youling.

"That's right, anyway, I'll go wherever the gods go, and I'll pack up my baggage and enter the country together!"

Ji Dao Fei changed into a set of Guo Qingquan's coarse linen clothes, and then took Lu Youling to Yeyue City one after the other. Yeyue City is located in the place where Yundu borders Rizhao Country, belongs to the land of Rizhao Country, it leads to Yichuan in the west, Chenshui in the east, the city is dangerous and the people are abundant, and Hengyang City, the capital of Rizhao Country, is only forty or fifty miles away.

Yeyue City has always been the location of the Rizhao country's troops, and it is also a place that advocates the supremacy of cultivation. It's just that twenty years ago, Situ Hongyuan conquered Yeyue City, and the army approached the national capital Hengyang City, and the monarch of Rizhao was forced to cede the land and sue for peace, handed over the cities of Yeyue City to Yundu, and finally dismissed the sword soldiers. In the next fifteen years, the two countries became friendly, and Yundu returned Yeyue City to Rizhao as a sign of reconciliation. It's just that five years have passed like a white horse, and the current Yeyue City has long been a matter of people, and the extreme way has been here more than once, but every year will have a different feeling.

When Ji Dao Fei led Lu Youling into the city, the soldiers at the sentry asked in great detail, and Ji Dao Fei only lied that he and Lu Youling were a pair of peasant father and son, and they accidentally cut their eyes when harvesting wheat a few days ago, and specially entered the city to treat their injuries.

The soldiers personally examined Lu Youling and confirmed their injuries before letting them into the city. After entering the city, the street vendors in the city did not know the orientation, and the large and small curtains hung for business were gone, replaced by soldiers who appeared back and forth on the streets, most of them were young, wearing bamboo armor and Fan Yang hats, and their cultivation was not enough, and some of them had not even entered the path of cultivation.

Ji Dao Fei seemed to be aware of the strangeness in the city, and deliberately grabbed Lu Youling's hand, avoided the bustling streets, and went straight to the Mengze Villa in Yeyue City.

"Immortal, where are we going? Didn't you say that you were going to find my Uncle Guo?" Lu Youling was bumped all the way by the extreme way, and when he saw him frowning again, he couldn't help asking.

"I'm going to see an old friend. ”

"Is your friend in the middle of town?"

"His surname is Dong, his name is Taiping, he is a native of our Yundu country, he has practiced medicine all his life to help the world, he has the skill of Hua Tuo's recreation, and the art of resurrecting the dead, whether it is Yundu, Rizhao or Luo Shengguo, he is regarded as equal, and he is dedicated to treating the sick, and the world calls him Taiping Bodhisattva. ”

Lu Youling said in an uproar: "Bodhisattva, it's actually an immortal again!"

Ji Daofei smiled bitterly: "I have told you many times, there are no immortals in this world, and Dong Taiping and I are nothing more than ordinary people." ”

"Then I don't call you an immortal, how about calling you Master?"

"You little ghost!" Ji Dao Fei pretended to be angry, and raised his hand to scare him, but he secretly liked this child in his heart, and the fairy screamed non-stop along the way, originally intended to let me take him as an apprentice. If his clever mind is used in cultivating fate, he may be able to achieve a climate, and he also sacrificed his life to save his life, so it is natural to promise him. It's just that his own Tianshou rebellion is getting worse and worse, and he has no time to teach him at all, not to mention that he has not participated in the sacrificial ceremony, and reluctantly teaching him will only get twice the result with half the effort.

"Do you want to worship me as a teacher, do you know my true identity?"

"I don't know, I just know that your skills are higher than my father's, and you will definitely be able to compare to those bad people in Yundu. ”

"Oh, are there any bad people in Yundu City? ”

"The bad guys in Yundu City are naturally those in the Jiali Temple. ”

Hearing this, Ji Dao's face began to darken, "Who told you these words?"

"As my father said, he used to say that those people in the temple were all bad people. ”

"That's enough!" Ji Dao reprimanded angrily, his handsome face was black and blue, and there seemed to be a dark tide surging on his arms.

The angry expression didn't last long, and it was sunny after a while, but the angry appearance just now really scared Lu Youling, and it was not a few days to follow the extreme path, even if he encountered the danger of being devoured by the black python, he had never seen him angry, just said it casually, and he didn't expect him to have such a big reaction.

Lu Youling didn't dare to say a word more, but Mu Mu followed behind Ji Dao.

Passing through an alley, you will come to a large mansion with green houses. Hang a plaque on the gate of the courtyard, write 'Mengze Villa', hang a pair of door couplets on the left and right, and nail it symmetrically on the door post in turn. A couplet said: Jun asked the return date is not due, and another couplet wrote: Mo Xun is a medicine picker.

"This door is still hanging here, what a stubborn old man. ”

Ji Dao said with a smile, and then stepped forward to knock on the courtyard door.
