Chapter 4: Black Clouds Blow
In the early morning, Huo Xiaofan will be called Huo Xiaofan for the time being, waking up in the gentle mountain breeze, and the wind is still blowing the window of the rear window and creaking gently. Last night, there was another mountain rain, the fresh air came to the face, and the green hills outside the window were green and spotless. It was also last night that grandpa finally told himself that the transmission was finally over, and when he woke up this morning, he felt that he had increased some strength, but it was just that the strength had no feeling of internal strength. He walked out of the house and saw that his grandfather was still making breakfast as usual, and he couldn't help but blame himself a little in his heart, why did he sleep so dead, and let his grandfather get up in the morning to work, he looked like his waist was bent a little more, and his hair was all white.
"Grandpa. . . ”
"Well, get up, let's go wash it first, eat some food later, and then go to the mountains to get some firewood, just to go and scatter our energy. ”
"Grandpa. . . Huo Xiaofan's face was ashamed, "You said last night that you passed on all the nine success powers to me, but I can't feel it, is it that I didn't pick it up... “
"Hehe, you have never practiced internal strength, you must not feel it, these skills are only contained in your seven meridians and eight veins, as long as you learn a good internal strength in the future, these skills will naturally converge into your dantian, let you sway freely. Now you might just be a Hercules. I started practicing martial arts when I was a teenager, and now it's almost forty years, and now I have about 30 years of skill to pass on to you at a discount, I hope that when you start practicing, I can help you practice a thousand miles later, and the big revenge in the future is not to take revenge, and it should also allow you to protect yourself. ”
"Oh, I said. Huo Xiaofan seems to have understood.
"Well, but the child's grandfather wants to tell you two things."
Grandpa, please say... ”
"Well, throughout the ages, people who practice martial arts are all starting from scratch, practicing every day, studying hard, so all those who can reach the peak in martial arts are all people who are incomparably smart and persevering in character. Today I pass on your skills is really helpless, I know that time is short, and I am very worried about how you will go alone in the future, but in the later practice, you must not cut corners, you must study hard, concentrate on cultivation, and you can't live up to your parents' reputation, let alone waste yourself. The second is, although you have gained my skills for decades, but you must not be complacent, no one in your eyes, even if you learn martial arts from Tianjian Gate in the future, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky in the rivers and lakes, and there are people outside the people, you must act in a low-key manner, and it is best to often pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. The more low-key you are, the better, so that others will not pay attention to you, and if you don't pay attention to you, there will be fewer people targeting you, you know?
"Kid knows, grandpa. Children should take it to heart. The boy must be a stupid pig to eat all the tigers, but grandpa, don't say anything about the running out of time, okay? If you're not here, I won't have any relatives in this world, what's the point of living on my own?"
"Hmm" The old man Huo Zun knew that he would inevitably feel a little sad if he continued to speak, so he beckoned him to eat.
Huo Xiaofan quickly grabbed a few mouthfuls of food, and then rushed out of the door with the rope and machete on his back, jumping all the way, his body seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and he felt like a bird that could just fly for a whole day, eager to fly to the highest and farthest place immediately, never stopping. In the past, it took most of the day to cut firewood, but today it was quickly done, and he played in the mountains for a while, and only went back in the evening, and on the way, he also ran into Zhang Ergou digging birds' eggs there.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that my grandfather was very nervous, and he completely lost his usual freedom. "What's wrong? Grandpa has happened?"
"Well, a group of people came to the entrance of the village, it seems that it should be people from the Demon Sect, eighty percent are coming at us, I don't know where the news leaked or I went to the town before to leak my whereabouts, it's too late to think about it, you now immediately hide in the secret hole we dug behind the house before, there is enough water and food in it, remember that you can't come out anyway, do you hear, you have two or three more inside, the sky hears no movement outside, you can come out, if I'm not here anymore, you go out of the mountain to find the Heavenly Sword Gate, quickly.
"Grandpa, what about you, shall we hide in there together?"
"I'm fine, don't worry, I have to cover up the entrance of the cave outside, they can't do anything to me as an old man, hurry up or it's too late" Grandpa took Huo Xiaofan's hand and hurriedly walked to the back of the house.
The night in the mountains came very early, it was already completely dark, the group of people outside the village, all in black clothes and black pants, and even rode black horses, the two people led by black cloaks, sitting on the horses and not moving, the others went door to door to arrest people, they were all strong in martial arts, and most of the villagers, old and young, who were still eating, drove to the threshing field at the entrance of the village. Many men in the village are good hunters, and they are also powerful, and some of them are hot-tempered and resist, and they are directly injured or killed on the spot by this group of black-clothed people. For a time, the village was in chaos, and men, women, and children were terrified, not knowing what these demons from hell wanted to do.
The black-clothed men who dismounted stood in the shape of a fan, surrounded all the villagers, and a raging fire was lit at the entrance of the village, and everyone's faces were blood-red, and a man in black ran to a man sitting on a horse and said a few words, and then stood aside. At this time, the obedient man kicked the horse's belly and led the horse forward a few steps, only to see him untie his cloak and lift his hood, but he did not expect to be a big fat monk, this monk is very ugly, or simply too ugly, with a big mouth, and one eye is so big that it almost occupies most of the face, and one eye is small and seems to be invisible, and it looks like a one-eyed demon in the distance. Before the "one-eyed monk" could speak, he first rattled a few times, which seemed to be a crow-like voice, and it was like a night owl's strange cry, which made people shudder and get goosebumps all over their bodies. I finally stopped laughing, and only listened to him say: Folks, old and young, I'm sorry, I'm bothering you, our brother is presumptuous to come, please Haihan Haihan, we are just here to find a friend surnamed Huo, he has a boy, we haven't seen him for many years, and we came to look for him. If you know something, please help me point it out. As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers unconsciously looked at Huo Zun in the crowd, which immediately attracted the attention of these black-clothed people. The "one-eyed monk" just wanted to ask another question, when a strong man came out of the crowd, he was the new patriarch of the village, because of his huge strength and skilled hunting skills, he was highly respected by the villagers, and he was just elected as the patriarch not long ago.
He pretended to be bold and took a step forward and asked loudly the "one-eyed monk," "You came to us with great momentum, just to find someone, if you are looking for someone, why do you want to kill and injure our people, do you still have a royal law?" The monk glared at the one-eyed man, and said to the black-clothed minion next to him, you tell him what the royal law is, the man said yes, and suddenly flew towards the patriarch. The patriarch has been hunting for more than ten years, and he has also encountered many evil beasts, knowing that this person is not easy to deal with, and he is trying to save up enough strength to block, but his body suddenly seems to be covered by something, and he can't move, he watched the man, stabbed him in the chest, and watched his blood spurt out, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up again, and his eyes were still wide. All the people in the village didn't expect these people to be so cruel, and they killed people without saying a word, and the children and women were immediately frightened and cried. The one-eyed monk said slowly, seeing that this is not the royal law, what I said is the royal law, and whoever dies next to be unconvinced is you.
Old man Huo Zun knew that he couldn't hide anymore, and he couldn't hide but would affect so many villagers, so he pushed aside the crowd and walked forward, and said to the one-eyed monk: "The one-eyed Venerable of the dignified Lich Palace, attack on the ordinary people of a mere area, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if you spread it?"
"Ohaha" The guy began to laugh again, "This must be the old man Huo Zunhuo who has a lot of money in his sleeves, he has heard of the name for a long time, and he is polite." This time our brother didn't run in vain, he finally met his seniors, please advise more, please advise more, I don't know which little master you are, is it also here?' After saying that, he looked around in the crowd, as if looking for it. “
"I don't know what your intention is for the first major sect of the Demon Sect, you came to this ravine to find me, if you look for our young master, I'm sorry that he has been picked up by the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect. You're late. I'm the only old man here. Tell me anything. The old man regained his former composure.
'You're here alone?, why don't I believe it?' "He turned his head to look at the names of the other villages, and those who were seen by him were all uncomfortable, and they didn't dare to look at him squarely, but he said again, fellow villagers, this old man is actually a criminal of the imperial court, and we are ordered to take it, and you live in the same village with him as an accomplice, and you should take it away together to ask for the crime, but if anyone provides the whereabouts of the child in their family, I may be able to spare him from dying, who knows how to say it quickly!" He suddenly raised his tone, startling the people who were originally in panic again, and after a moment of silence, someone in the crowd suddenly ran out and said, I know where Huo Xiaofan went, I just ask you not to kill me.
Old man Huo Zun was shocked and looked back, it was actually this bastard.
