Chapter 14: The Meeting of Fates
Just when Yi Han was asking famous doctors to treat his wife's injuries, two people with babies came to the Qingming Inn. One of these two people is an old man from Qingming Mountain, while the other is a mysterious middle-aged man. Although I don't know why the mysterious middle-aged man rushed with a baby, the reason why the old man took the baby down Qingmingshan all happened three days ago.
Three days ago, Qingmingshan was still the building where the old man lived in Qingmingshan. In one of the spacious courtyards of the building, there was a burst of joyful laughter.
"Hehe! Come on. "At this moment, in this courtyard, two special little tiger beasts, an ordinary little tiger beast, are chasing and playing with each other. Next to the three tiger beasts, a baby who had just learned to walk was also trying to catch up with the three playful tiger beasts. As for the one who just resigned, it was a playful girl with long blue hair. She was crouching and teasing a baby boy in front of her.
"Walk slowly, come to my sister. As she spoke, the blue-haired girl held out her hands to the baby boy. And when she stretched out her hands, the baby boy in front of him babbled as if she was saying something to him.
A few little tiger beasts happily ran around the baby boy, and just as the little tiger beast with five tails ran past the baby again. One of its five tails swept onto the baby's leg, and the boy fell to the ground from his unsteady standing.
When the baby boy fell, the three little tiger beasts pounced on him and began to play with the baby.
"Hahahaha, hehehehe!" The baby who fell to the ground did not cry, but grabbed one of the little tiger beasts in his small hands and played with it. Although the baby boy who was the person concerned was not doing much, the blue-haired girl next to her didn't do anything when she saw the baby boy being thrown to the ground.
"Little caracal, little caracal, Xiao Lan, you are not allowed to bully Tianxing. With that, the blue-haired girl quickly stepped forward and separated the three little tiger beasts, and picked up the baby boy on the ground.
Seeing the blue-haired girl protecting the baby boy like this, a young and tall handsome young man behind her said loudly, "Avril, you are too spoiled, this is not good!"
Glancing back at the young man behind him, the blue-haired girl stuck out her tongue at him and said, "Hey.....! After making a grimace at the boy, the blue-haired girl raised the baby boy with both hands and teased him, "Our Tianxing is so cute, Tianxing is quick to call sister." ”
"It seems that the fourth sister really likes our little junior brother! But I'm curious why that sword saved this child. What do you think, second brother?" spoke up as a handsome young man with blond hair, and next to him was a grim-faced young man. The blonde boy's question just now was for this teenager.
"I don't know" simply said three words, and the boy had no extra words. Looking at his grim attitude, the blonde boy shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Alas! It's still so cold!" Just as a few people in the courtyard were chatting about the baby, the old man's voice also came out of the room.
"Tian'er, Ying'er, Geraint, Avril, you four bring Tianxing in. Hearing the old man's voice, the three teenagers quickly rushed to the room. Avril walked behind the three of them with the baby boy in her arms.
After entering the room, the four of them stood in turn, and the old man who called them in sat cross-legged on the bed in front of them. At this moment, the old man was holding a piece of paper in his hand, and on this piece of paper was a sentence written on it.
Seven days ago, after the old man returned to Qingmingshan with the baby and a few little tiger beasts, he handed over the baby and a few little tigers to his four apprentices to take care of. After resealing the remnants of the abyss on the previous mountain, the old man returned to his room and studied the Rongkong Stone that the tiger had given him.
In the previous time, the old man had already found that the Rongkong Stone was forbidden. After careful observation, the old man found that two very strong prohibitions had been placed on the Rongkong Stone. If it is forcibly lifted, the entire Rongkong Stone will shatter. In this way, the old man had to be patient, and it took seven days to unlock the first prohibition. And after unlocking this heavy prohibition, the old man took out a letter with only one line inside, which was the paper that the old man was holding in his hand now. After reading the contents of the letter, the old man also directly gave up the second prohibition of unlocking the Rongkong Stone.
The letter is very simple, "Experience the world, feel the world, see the world." Although the content of the letter was very simple, the old man's brows couldn't help but wrinkle when he saw the word 'green' in the lower left corner of the letter.
After staring at the letter in his hand and pondering for a long time, the old man heard laughter coming from outside the house. After coming back to his senses, the old man muttered to himself, "Aotaki, you really aren't a man who will die simply! Let me see how far your will will go!" After thinking about it in his heart for a while, the old man called a few apprentices into the room.
The few people standing in front of the old man are all the disciples that the old man has accepted so far. The handsome young man who always has a kind smile at the head is the first disciple of the old man named Qiongtian. The handsome young man is a second disciple named Qiu Ying. The blonde boy is the third and his name is Chris Gerant. And the playful girl with blue hair used to be the youngest disciple, but now she is in fourth place, named Jeremy Avril. As for the baby who was now held in Avril's arms, he was now the youngest disciple of the old man, and the old man named him 'Tianxing'. In the words of the old man, how the heavens act is not something that people can speculate. So the little baby has the name it is now.
Raising his head and looking at the few disciples in front of him, the old man stood up and said, "I have decided to send Tianxing down the mountain to see if I can find a suitable person to adopt." During my absence, the four of you have to take care of Qingmingshan. ”
"Master, why did you send your little brother down the mountain? I don't agree with this. Hearing that the old man was going to send Xiao Tianxing down the mountain, Avril immediately quit.
Look at the old Gao Avril who pouted, and then look at the little Tianxing who was held in her arms, the old man said meaningfully, "The road Tianxing has to take is in the outside world, maybe this is the reason why the remnant abyss saved him!"
"Playing high and deep again. After listening to the old man's words, Avril whispered dissatisfiedly.
Hearing Avril's obvious contradiction to the master's words, Qiongtian, as the first apprentice, said in a solemn voice, "Avril, how can you talk to the master like this? ”
"Hmph, who's talking, why can't I hear anything?" Avril deliberately said such an annoying sentence, and Avril turned her head to the side, ignoring the sky.
"Hehe!" smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Avril's forehead, and the old man said with a smile, "Don't worry! And in the future, he will definitely come back here again. ”
"Oh!" whispered to the old man, Avril handed the little Tianxing in her arms to the old man, and then lowered her head without saying a word and stopped talking.
After instructing the four apprentices about something, the old man took Xiao Tianxing down the mountain. Seeing that Xiao Tianxing was taken away, several little tiger beasts immediately chased after him from behind. Seeing this situation, the people of Qiongtian hurriedly hugged a few little tiger beasts.
Lying on the old man's shoulder, Xiao Tianxing stretched out his little hand and kept waving it towards his back, as if saying goodbye. And at this time, behind the old man, there was also Avril's crying voice.
"Little junior brother, you must remember to come back in the future!"
On the first day of going down the mountain, because he was worried that Xiao Tianxing's body would not be able to bear it, the old man went directly to an inn to rest after walking a short distance. When he rested that night, looking at Xiao Tianxing, who was still alive and kicking, the old man's heart was completely relaxed.
Early the next morning, the old man took Xiao Tianxing and continued on the road, and at this moment the direction of the old man's progress was the direction of Qingming City. Although Qingming City is next to Qingming Mountain, the distance between the two is more than two hundred miles. And this is exactly what people deliberately did when the city was first built. As for the reason, it is that he is afraid that the noisy city will affect the quiet life of this mysterious old man.
At this moment, the old man held Xiao Tianxing and walked slowly on the mountain path. And Xiao Tianxing's two little hands grabbed the gray beard on the old man's chest, and his two bright eyes kept observing the surrounding scenery, as if he was full of unknown curiosity about everything.
After walking under a big tree, the old man stopped and came to the bottom of the big tree to do it. Smiling and looking at Xiao Tianxing in his arms, the old man took out a palm-sized jade bottle from his Rongkong Stone ring. After opening the bottle, the old man handed the jade bottle to Xiao Tianxing in his arms.
Stretching out two small hands to hold the jade bottle handed by the old man, Xiao Tianxing pointed the mouth of the jade bottle at his mouth and began to drink the light green viscous liquid in the jade bottle. The liquid in this is the food specially made by the old man for Xiao Tianxing, in order to make Xiao Tianxing have a good growth space, when making these foods, the old man used a lot of precious ingredients and medicinal materials.
While Xiao Tianxing was drinking the food, the old man also took out a larger gourd bottle, opened the bottle and drank it himself. And just as the old man was resting and eating, a middle-aged man in a black cloak also walked over with a month-old baby in his arms. And after seeing this middle-aged man, the old man's face also showed a hint of an intriguing smile.
