Chapter 5: Departure
Taking out the parchment map from the package, Old Man Zhang looked at the map in his hand for a long time, with vicissitudes in his eyes, as if he recalled something, and stroked the map in his hand for a moment, and then handed it to Yi Chen with some reluctance.
"Eh, I think when I was young, I spent all my possessions on the old man in order to get this map, and now, this thing is dispensable to me, child, take it, I don't know the place outside in the future, and it is always better to have this map on my body. ”
"Grandpa Zhang, this... It's too precious. I was shocked by Old Man Zhang's words, but Yi Chen didn't immediately take over the map, this is a priceless thing, extremely precious, if you take it out and exchange it with others, you can completely exchange it for ten thousand gold wealth, and for ordinary people, even three generations of children and grandchildren can't squander it.
"Take it, kid, you don't know when you'll be back, walking alone in a strange world outside, and being targeted by immortals, how can I rest assured that you......" However, Yi Chen didn't have time to refuse, and the old man Zhang stuffed the leather paper map into the hands of the former, and at the same time, there were some tears and reluctance in the old man's eyes, he and the child got along day and night for more than ten years, almost like a grandson, the depth of the feelings has long been engraved in the blood, he is alone, dying, to say that there is anything in this world that he has been concerned about and can't let go, except for this child, there is nothing else.
"Grandpa Zhang......" Hearing Old Man Zhang's words, Yi Chen clenched the map in his hand, and after a while, he finally couldn't hold it back, tears came out of his eyes, and his body threw himself into the arms of the former.
There is reluctance and fear in the crying, Yi Chen is not an extremely strong person, he is just a child, and at the same time he is just a mortal, where has he experienced this kind of change.
"Good boy, let's go, go find your own opportunity, now...... Just go. The dry palm gently rubbed Yi Chen's head, and the old man Zhang said reluctantly, the heat in his eyes became a little stronger, and suddenly tears overflowed, but after a while, he gently pushed Yi Chen away from his arms, and took out a rather delicate small cloth bag from the package, and stuffed it into Yi Chen's hand, and then forcibly restrained the reluctance in his heart and choked up.
Yi Chen didn't say anything with tears, nor did he look at the small cloth bag in his hand, just by the feeling of his hand, he already knew that it was a bag full of broken silver, after so many years, Old Man Zhang was reluctant to use it for so much hard life, but he gave it to himself at this moment.
Looking at the old figure in front of him for a long time, Yi Chen's eyes were full of reluctance, in his eyes, Grandpa Zhang, who was always energetic and always had a kind smile on his face, seemed to be much older at this moment.
After a while, Yi Chen gritted his teeth, wiped his tears in his heart, and no longer looked at the old man Zhang in front of him, he was afraid that if he looked at it a few more times, he would be reluctant to leave.
After stuffing the map and silver bag in his hand into his clothes, Yi Chen turned around and walked towards the outside of the tavern, but just as his steps were about to cross the threshold, an old call from behind him made Yi Chen's body suddenly tremble, and the footsteps that were already about to step out slowly fell back for a while.
"Chen'er, you must be safe......"
The old man's voice was full of reluctance and concern, and at the same time, there was a hint of expectation, and he gently instructed, but as if he had exhausted all his strength, Yi Chen turned back with difficulty, and the rickety figure of the old man Zhang, who was a little trembling and unstable because of his mood fluctuations, immediately came into his eyes, making his eyes that were still full of tears suddenly tremble.
The next moment, Yi Chen's legs bent, and he knelt down so stiffly, and then kowtowed deeply to Old Man Zhang.
didn't say anything, just kowtowed and knelt down, and it wasn't until nearly half of the incense was burned that Yi Chen stood up, but he turned around and left, without looking back, without the slightest hesitation, just disappeared into the noisy street outside the door in a moment.
Watching Yi Chen's back with a hint of firmness gradually disappear outside the door without blinking, Old Man Zhang's old face finally had a slight smile, although his eyes were still full of tears, but at the same time he also showed a trace of relief......
did not say goodbye to the people in the county one by one, and walked straight out of the county after leaving the tavern, until he walked hundreds of meters outside the city, Yi Chen stopped, turned around and glanced at the small county town silently, his eyes showed a deep reluctance, and then he knelt on the ground and bowed deeply in the direction of the small county town.
He was born here, grew up here, here is his roots, the people in the county treat him like a close relative, raise him as an adult, this grace, more important than Mount Tai!
Can you remember, who carefully sewed this dress on the body?
Remember, hungry, who brought the food?
Can you remember, in the middle of the night, who covered him with a quilt?
Although he has no father or mother, the people in this county are all his family!
"I, Yi Chen, swear here, if I can escape this catastrophe, he will definitely return one day!" A trace of firmness that was extremely inconsistent with his age appeared between his eyebrows, and Zheng Zheng's cold words popped out of Yi Chen's mouth, and when the previous handsome young man's figure resurfaced in his mind, the fear in his heart was much less, but a coldness that had never been seen before appeared!
The palm of his hand touched his chest again, and he could vaguely touch the token and booklet hidden under the clothes through his clothes, Yi Chen's expression showed determination, and he turned around and left without hesitation.
This time to Qingxuanzong, it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape in the end to bump into that handsome young man, Yi Chen knows that the person's killing intent towards him is strong, even if he has the protection of Qingxuanzong, he will not be able to escape his poisonous hands.
After all, he is just a mortal, even if he relied on the Qingyu token to enter the sect by luck, but after all, he is still a mortal, and it is impossible to attract the attention of Qingxuanzong.
"If you can have the power to compete with the immortals in the future, I will kill you!" In his mind, the unreserved gaze of the handsome young man who looked at his killing intent when he left still lingered, Yi Chen's hatred for him became stronger and stronger, this person, forced him to leave his hometown, and even wanted to take his own life, and the killing intent towards him in his heart was already deep to the extreme!
"I don't believe that Yi Chen will be a mortal for the rest of his life!"
The figure of the young man gradually walked towards the distant mountain, although the pace was small, but it was unswerving, at the end of the heavy mountain, there, a huge sect was waiting for him!
The young man didn't know that the road ahead was unknown, or an opportunity, or a dangerous road? What he knew was that this trip was only going forward, and there was no way back!
Life and death, fight here!
And at this moment, in the middle of a vast mountain range a hundred miles away......
Qingxuanzong, this is a behemoth that makes the land of Kyushu tremble, and this behemoth is hidden in this almost endless mountain range at a glance!
The immortal gate is ethereal, it cannot be traced, mortals may not be able to enter even if they are all their lives, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, resulting in the whole mountain range is usually rare human tracks.
However, today, in this ancient mountain forest, where you can't usually see any human figures, there are nearly dozens of figures inexplicably!
Many figures are divided into various parties, or in the woodland, or on the branches, and some of them actually stay in the sky, and the figures all have extraordinary momentum emanating from their bodies, and the momentum seems to condense into a stream of invisible fluctuations and spread, which actually makes those fierce beasts in the mountains and forests show fear one after another, and dare not approach within a hundred zhang.
These figures are all immortals who are rarely encountered in the mundane world!
Some of the figures sat and rested, while others sat around and whispered to each other, making the whole mountain forest seem relatively quiet, but after a while, this silence was suddenly broken by the sharp sound of breaking wind in the sky not far away.
Disturbed by this movement, the whispered conversation in the forest immediately stopped, and those figures who closed their eyes and recuperated also opened their eyes, and looked up in the direction from which the sound of the breaking wind came, and after a while, several ethereal figures slowly walked out of the sky behind the trees under the gaze of everyone.
The appearance of these elegant figures suddenly made everyone in the mountains and forests show surprise, these people are all flying in the air, if it is not a foundation monk, then everyone has a precious magic weapon that can fly, these two, no matter which one, is enough to show the strength of the comer.
Just when everyone was surprised, one of the two or three old figures that had stayed in the sky suddenly smiled and spoke.
"Hehe, it turns out that the geniuses of the Wang family have arrived. ”
The person who spoke seemed to recognize the identity of these elegant figures, and the words seemed to be accompanied by a trace of mighty momentum, hovering in the sky, making this mountain forest seem to tremble a little.
Among the several elegant figures, the person in the first place in the green shirt slowly walked out when he heard this, the mysterious mist on his face dissipated, revealing a rather calm and handsome face, and arched his hand very politely towards the few figures staying in the air opposite, and said with a smile.
"A few seniors laughed, the genius called my Wang family disciple is really not daring, I heard that Qingxuanzong has recently opened the mountain gate to recruit disciples, so I will also come to try my luck, but I came in a hurry, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
After speaking, the figure in the green shirt waved his hand behind him, and the few people behind him also waved their hands to disperse the mysterious mist covering their faces, and then bowed to the old figures in front of them.
If Yi Chen must recognize it here, these people are definitely the immortals who passed through the small county town before!
Because, for the first time in his life, the beautiful young man who made his heart swell with murderous intent was among them!
