Chapter 1 Grandparents and grandchildren
"It is difficult to go to Shu Road, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. "The mountains of Bashu, heavy mountains and mountains, clouds and mist, in nature, reveal a fantasy and mysterious color.
Deep in the mountains, in the unknown jungle, a large tree of ten people hugging each other is towering into the clouds, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of its full picture. However, it is such a big tree that is rarely seen for 10,000 years, but it is abnormally swaying slightly from time to time, and when you count it carefully, it seems to be quite rhythmic. "Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine," a slightly immature voice came from this inaccessible place. Looking for prestige, I saw a young man about ten years old at the bottom of the big tree, walking on a horse, shirtless, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. "There is still the last punch left, according to what Grandpa said, after fighting a hundred punches of Tongzi Boxing, you can enter the eightfold blood moving realm, and if you finish two hundred punches, you can enter the ninth layer of the blood moving realm. The boy looked at his fist and found that it was not red, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, thinking that when he just practiced this boy's boxing, a punch was a skin and flesh, and now it is a significant progress, and he will definitely be praised by his grandfather when he goes back.
"Then, Moving Blood Realm Yae, I'm here!" After saying that, the boy slammed his fist into the tree, and the big tree shook again. After this punch, the young man immediately regained his momentum, sat down cross-legged, put his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes slightly. After about a quarter of an hour, the boy opened his eyes suddenly, and a glint flashed through his eyes. "Hahaha, I'm also a master of moving the Blood Realm Eightfold. Hehe!" Thinking that he had finally broken through to the eightfold blood moving realm, the young man couldn't help but feel a little fluttery.
"However, I have been away from home for half a year, I really want to go back, I really want to eat the snow chicken stewed with cloud mushrooms made by my grandfather. Thinking that he had been away from home for half a year, the feeling of longing couldn't help but wells up, diluting the joy brought by the breakthrough in the realm.
"However, my grandfather hasn't come to pick me up yet, and he said that I won't be able to leave until he comes. What should I do, it's so tangled!" The boy picked up the scattered branches and slapped the ground in a boring manner.
"Forget it!" Suddenly, the young man seemed to have made a decision and broke the branch in his hand, "Anyway, Grandpa also said that it is okay to only cultivate here to the fifth level of the Blood Realm, and I have already moved the eighth level of the Blood Realm, so I should be able to leave, hehe." ”
"Let's go, let's go home. The boy got up, patted the dust off his buttocks, and ran out in the opposite direction of the tree, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground.
"Ah, I almost forgot!" The young man froze, turned his head, and looked at the big tree, "Uncle Shu, I'm leaving, I can't accompany you anymore, I promise to come to see you in the future, goodbye Uncle Shu!" With that, the boy walked forward without looking back. He didn't notice that the moment he turned around, the tree shook imperceptibly, and the scars from his half-year blow were gone.
......
"Idiot. ”
"Hey, grandpa?" the young man in the frenzy suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Grandpa, is it you?"
"Idiot, what are you doing so fast, grandpa can't catch up with you!" I saw an old man with a white beard and wrinkles on his forehead appear behind the young man, and the old man looked a little out of breath.
"Ah, grandpa, it's really you!" Seeing the old man, the young man felt that his nose was slightly sore, and he ran up and hugged the old man.
"Grandpa, I miss you so much!
"Okay, don't cry, grandpa misses you too!" the old man touched the young man's head dotingly.
"Grandpa. After a while, the boy held back his crying and looked up at the old man.
"Huh?"
"I'm going to eat snow chicken stewed with mushrooms. The young man looked at the old man with a look of hope.
"I knew you were going to say this, huh. I didn't see how the old man moved, and suddenly there was an animal with a snow-white body and a blood-colored crown on its head that looked like a chicken.
"Wow, thank you, grandpa!" Seeing the snow chicken, the young man hurriedly let go of the hands holding the old man and grabbed the snow chicken. However, the old man was obviously defensive, and his body flashed over the young man's hands slightly, and at the same time, the middle finger of his right hand was bent, and he knocked a shiver on the young man's head.
"Ah, Grandpa, why are you beating me?" the young man held his head in his hands and looked at the old man aggrievedly.
"You kid, I don't think you're thinking about grandpa, you're thinking about snowcock!" the old man said angrily.
"No, no, I didn't think about you first, I think I thought about you just now, so I thought about the snow chicken. The boy felt more and more aggrieved.
"You, forget it, catch it!" the old man smiled, he knew that the so-called snow chicken stewed fire cloud mushroom was just a specific image of himself in the young man's heart, and he knew how much this child loved himself. After saying that, the old man threw the snowcock into the distance. Seeing the flying snowcock, the young man tensed his legs and jumped seven or eight feet away......
"Grandpa, I caught it, I caught it!" the young man waved the snowcock in his hand to the old man, and his heart blossomed.
The old man nodded with satisfaction. Snow chicken, a first-order inferior spirit beast, the meat is edible, the crown can be used as medicine, although it does not have any aggressiveness, but the speed of this snow chicken is the best among the first-order spirit beasts, and the teenager can catch the snow chicken that was released by himself, which shows that the training results of this half year are not small.
"Let's go, go home, grandpa will make you snow chicken stew with mushrooms. The old man took the young man's hand, nodded backwards, and walked slowly in the direction of home, although the pace was slow, but it made people seem to have an indescribable rhythm. At the same time, the towering tree shook imperceptibly again.
.....
My name is Lan Haoxuan, and I picked it up by my grandfather. Grandpa said that when I was picked up, I had a jade pendant with a blue character on it, so my grandfather named me Lan Haoxuan. But grandpa likes to call me an idiot, and I like this nickname too, hehe!
I don't know who my parents were, but for as long as I can remember, my grandfather and I have lived deep in the mountains. According to my grandfather, the planet I live on is called the Earth, which is one of the nine planets in the solar system, and as for what the planet is and what the solar system is, my grandfather didn't say. And this mountain is called Shu Mountain, and the place where my home is located is called the Cave of the Immortal Destroyer. Grandpa told me that a thousand years ago, a strange demon invaded this planet, causing the spiritual power of this planet to become scarce until it dried up, and then ushered in the era of the end of the law, and no one could cultivate anymore.
However, why can I still cultivate, my grandfather told me, it is because there is a special object in the place where we live, and this object still maintains some aura in the immortal cave. But what exactly this object is, grandpa said he will tell me later.
Grandpa also told me that the earth was relatively lightly injured, but its spiritual power was depleted, and far away, there was a planet called Hades that had been completely overrun by aliens, and the people there were living under the rule of cruel aliens, and life was worse than death every day. Grandpa told me to work hard to cultivate, and strive to have strong strength before the next invasion of alien demons, protect the people I want to protect, and keep the earth from being enslaved by alien demons. I want to protect my grandfather, so I'll definitely work hard to cultivate.
......
"Grandpa!" Lan Haoxuan raised his head to look at the old man.
"Huh?"
"Grandpa, when will you give me a space ring!" Lan Haoxuan looked at the old man's right index finger, unable to hide the envy in his eyes.
"What do you want a space ring for? You don't have anything to pack. The old man looked at the boy curiously.
"I'm going to load something. Grandpa, I've moved to the Blood Realm Eightfold now. Therefore, in the future, I will catch snow chickens and find fire cloud mushrooms, and grandpa, you only need to be responsible for stewing. Hee-hee!"
"You kid, don't you think your grandfather is old!" The old man hooked the middle finger of his right hand, and made a gesture of knocking Lan Haoxuan again.
"Ah, grandpa, I don't want it!" Lan Haoxuan shrunk his neck and instinctively covered his head with his hands.
After waiting for a while, and finding that the expected loud tremor had not arrived, Lan Haoxuan glanced at the old man curiously and found that the old man was looking at him seriously.
When the four eyes met, Lan Haoxuan lowered his hands, looked at the old man, and said seriously, "Grandpa, I don't want to see you work too hard, I want to help you do what you can." I want to protect you!" The boy's voice resounded through the jungle, a little immature but unusually determined.
Hearing Lan Haoxuan's immature words, tears appeared in the old man's eyes, but there was a slight imperceptible guilt and self-blame in the depths......
"Grandpa got it. Bang!" Just when Lan Haoxuan thought that his grandfather must have been moved by him, a shudder slammed on the top of his defenseless head.
"Ah, it hurts, grandpa!"
"Hahaha, idiot, I'll go somewhere with my grandfather tomorrow. ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Pick a ring. ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, will grandpa still lie to you?"
"Wow, yes, I know, grandpa is the best, long live grandpa!"
"Hahahaha......" The laughter of the grandfather and grandson spread through the jungle.
"Why, I regret it!" At this moment, a voice sounded in the old man's heart. The old man was silent for a while, "Don't worry, I will complete the task as agreed, and I hope you can also keep your promise." ”
"That's good, don't worry, your family is doing well over there, but if you break the agreement, what will happen to your family, I can't guarantee it. Hahahaha!"
"Grandpa, grandpa. Lan Haoxuan shook the old man's arm.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Suddenly you don't leave, your face is still dark, didn't you make you angry?" With years of experience, every time I make my grandfather very angry, my grandfather's face will turn black. Lan Haoxuan, as always, thought that he had done something wrong and made his grandfather unhappy. The communication between the old man and that voice was carried out through spiritual power, so Lan Haoxuan didn't hear it.
"Grandpa, I really didn't do anything wrong!" Lan Haoxuan's lips gradually deflated, as if he was about to cry.
"Ah, it's not about the idiot, it's the grandfather who is distracted. The old man touched Lan Haoxuan's head, with a little complexity in his eyes.
"Grandpa is still distracted?" Lan Haoxuan felt very curious, he had never seen his grandfather walk through his mind for so many years. But he didn't ask.
"Hehe, that's the case, then, grandpa, let's go! I'm hungry!
"Haha, good, good! In order to celebrate the success of the idiot's cultivation, grandpa added a dish today - roasted green eagle wings. ”
"Oh, yes, yes, long live Grandpa!"
After dinner, it was late at night, and the old man watched Lan Haoxuan enter the bedroom and fall asleep.
Standing outside the house, looking at the starry sky, the old man took out a ring from his arms. The ring as a whole is royal blue, there are five patterns on the surface of the ring, the pattern is thunder and fire, it looks magnificent and abnormal, and there is a "condensation" word on the inside of the ring.
"Ning'er, this ring of yours will be handed over to the idiot for you as a father. He's a good boy, with a good heart, just like you. I don't think you'll object either. The father is incompetent and failed to protect you and Junruo, but now, he wants to do such a heinous thing, and the father has no face to see you. I hope that the man will keep his promise and spare you. At some point, the old man burst into tears.
"Ning'er, you must protect the idiot, you owe him too much for your father, I hope he can meet a noble person when he goes out and resolve that thing. The old man's hands trembled and stroked the five thunder sparks on the ring.
Before he knew it, it was already four and ten minutes, and the old man sighed and turned to leave. "We're going to separate tomorrow, idiot, grandpa can't bear you!"
Under the moonlight, the towering tree still towered into the clouds, as if it was about to compete with the moon. "Alas, poor man. ”
