The boy woke up, and he was still in front of his familiar picture, a dilapidated bed, a dim candle flame, and a wooden table......

The boy remembered everything that had happened, who were those two people, why did the ghost-faced man hurt me, what was the festival, who rescued me, and a series of questions made him scratch his head.

After a while, his eyes were locked on his sleeping mother at the wooden table, and a warm current and distress surged in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a sharp heart-rending pain in his abdomen, and the young man took a breath of cold air, clenched his teeth tightly, and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing his mother's rest.

"Yao'er, you're awake. ”

The mother's surprised voice rang out.

"Mother, I'm sorry to worry you. Xiao Yao endured the pain and said with a smile.

"Silly boy, just come back safely. With tears rolling in her eyes, the woman gently touched her son's forehead and said softly.

"Knock knock~"

There was a knock at the door.

"Second Uncle"

Xiao Yao looked at the uncle in front of him who looked similar to his father and took care of his growth, and said happily.

"Little ancestor, you scared me to death, if you want to have three long and two short, I will run to the grave of my eldest brother and commit suicide to apologize. The middle-aged man was obviously in a good mood, made an exaggerated expression at his nephew, and said with a smile.

"Yu Teng, you look like you're about to be forty years old, why are you still like a child. ”

The atmosphere in the house was lively, and the woman's mood gradually improved.

"Second uncle, did you rescue me?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Of course"

Xiao Yuteng nodded, suddenly remembered something, and continued: "Why did you pass out on the edge of the forbidden land?"

Xiao Yao was slightly stunned, remembering that he had fainted in the forbidden land, how could he run outside the forbidden land, it was the old man who saved him.

"Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yuteng asked nervously when he saw his nephew in a daze.

"Oh~ nothing, I accidentally fell from a big tree on the edge of the forbidden land, so I fell and fainted. ”

When he came back to his senses, Xiao Yao made up an excuse to explain that he didn't dare to tell his mother and second uncle the truth, after all, the old village chief had already strictly ordered everyone not to trespass in the forbidden land.

"Seeing that your injuries don't look like they fell from a tree, take off your clothes and I'll give you a good examination. Xiao Yuteng scratched his head and said with some doubts.

"Uh~"

Xiao Yao's face was black, and then he remembered that the second uncle was an excellent hunter, and ordinary injuries could not be hidden from him.

"Yu Teng, can't you stop for a while?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm just ......"

"Yao'er's body is very weak, so don't toss him. ”

Xiao Yuteng stretched out his tongue, knowing that his sister-in-law was a little unhappy, so he simply said a few words and left under the pretext.

Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately his mother stopped him, otherwise he would have to strip himself off and check it out to be at ease with his second uncle's character.

Half a month later, Xiao Yao's body basically returned to normal, but he vaguely felt a trace of cold air running up and down in his abdomen, but he clearly remembered that the damn ghost-faced man poked this place with his finger.

"Knock knock~"

There was a sound of stumps striking in the courtyard.

At this time, Xiao Yao's expression was firm, and his fists swung straight towards the stump, and beads of sweat gradually flowed from his forehead.

The body gradually tired, and a feeling of powerlessness arose, Xiao Yao's heart was at a loss, when he practiced driving wooden stakes before, a similar situation had never happened, why was his strength weakened so much at once now.

"I started practicing so early. ”

"The second uncle is here. ”

"It looks like you're completely healthy. ”

"Second uncle, you came just in time, I have something I want to ask you. ”

Xiao Yuteng leaned against the stump and said with interest, "What is it that confuses Yao'er? ”

Xiao Yao blinked, hesitated, and said curiously, "Will the strength slowly disappear as you grow older?"

"Of course, not to mention that the power will disappear, as you get older, people will disappear. Xiao Yuteng said disappreciably.

"At what age can your strength reach its peak?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

Xiao Yuteng scratched his head, pondered, and said uncertainly: "It should be around thirty years old, like your age is the time when your strength is gradually getting stronger." ”

Xiao Yao clenched his fists, but there was a wave in his heart, could it be that he was aging before he was old, or that damn cold belly was at work.

Looking at the subtle changes in his nephew, Xiao Yuteng was shocked, rolled his throat, and said nervously: "You don't think about revenge, do you?"

"My father's revenge must be avenged, but with my current strength, it seems to be very slim. Xiao Yao was stunned and said with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuteng patted his chest, and secretly prayed in his heart that if the eldest brother's only incense was broken, he would really become a sinner.

"Why did you suddenly ask me such a strange question?" Xiao Yuteng said with some trepidation.

"Because I feel the strength in my body is getting stronger. ”

Xiao Yao punched the stump "dong", and then his eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"I think I should find a place to be quiet. ”

The sudden scene startled Xiao Yuteng, swallowed and spit, turned around and left quickly.

"Xiao Yao, the old village chief has something to look for you. ”

Not long after Xiao Yuteng left, a teenager from the village came to the courtyard.

"Looking for me?"

"Hmm~"

"Do you know what's going on with me?"

"I don't know, but when I went, I happened to see the old village chief talking to a Taoist. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao shuddered, could it be that he rescued his Taoist, if it was really this person, then some mysteries would naturally be solved, and maybe he could cure his hidden dangers by the way, thinking of this, he raised his leg and ran towards the old village chief's house......

After a while, Xiao Yao came to the room, and when his eyes fell on a young Taoist, he was suddenly like a deflated ball.

"Xiao Yao, why don't you come and meet the Taoist of Shangguan. Seeing Xiao Yao's decadent expression, the old village chief said unhappily.

Xiao Yao shrugged his shoulders, hurriedly bent over, and greeted.

The young Taoist nodded, then opened the portrait and confirmed it again.

After a while, the young Taoist put away the portrait, showed a friendly smile, and said, "Congratulations to Village Chief Xiao, this little brother is the person I have been looking for. ”

Hearing this, the old village chief's slightly rickety body trembled slightly, his cloudy eyes swelled with excitement, and he looked up to the sky and said in a trembling voice: "Yushan, did you hear it? Your son has been accepted as a disciple by the Wudang faction." ”

"Can you make it clear?" Xiao Yao was confused, when did he get involved with the Wudang faction.

"Stinky boy, you didn't tell it earlier if you had an encounter with the head of the Wudang faction, which made my old bones so excited that they were about to fall apart. The old village chief scolded with a smile.

"You mean that old man?" Xiao Yao exclaimed.

As soon as these words came out, the young Taoist's face was slightly gloomy, he coughed lightly a few times, paused, and then said: "The head of the sect is middle-aged, how did you become an old man in your mouth?"

"It's an old man, how could I be mistaken. Xiao Yao believed that his intuition was not wrong, except for having a relationship with that old Taoist, he really couldn't guess anyone else.

The young Taoist's face became more and more solemn, obviously angry with the young man in front of him, the head of the dignified Wudang Sect was so humiliated in his mouth, if this was spread out, it would not make the Jianghu people laugh off their big teeth.

"Don't be rude, hurry up and apologize to the Taoist. Seeing that the situation was not good, the old village chief had a gloomy face and scolded.

"Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Yao said with a blank expression.

"You~" The old village chief slammed the cane in his hand to the ground, and pointed at Xiao Yao tremblingly, unable to speak.

"It doesn't matter"

The young Taoist's face changed, and he smiled kindly, but he had made up his mind in his heart, and he was slowly cleaning up when he was brought back to the sect.

"The children in the mountain village are used to being wild, and please don't blame the Taoists. The old village chief stood up and said respectfully.

"I am a person in the Daomen, I have already been pure-hearted, Village Chief Xiao does not need to blame himself, since the task is completed, I will take him back to Wudang Mountain tomorrow. The young Taoist said politely.

"Wait a minute" After speaking, the old village chief walked to the cabinet and slowly opened it......

A moment later, three silver ingots were placed on the table.

"Is this ......," the young Taoist asked in surprise.

"The journey is tiring, this is a little bit of the old man's heart. The old village chief said.

"Please also ask Village Chief Xiao to put it away quickly, if you let the head know about it, it will be troublesome. The young Taoist said as he stared greedily at the ingot.

"How could the old man be so unreasonable, just accept it with confidence. The old village chief smiled.

The young Taoist shirked one or two, and finally put the ingots into his arms with satisfaction.

Xiao Yao watched coldly, on the one hand, he despised this sanctimonious guy, but on the other hand, he was full of gratitude, after all, these were the belongings that the old village chief had saved by frugality, and now he took them out so selflessly for himself.

Looking at the back of the young Taoist leaving, the old village chief sat on the chair a little tiredly.

"I haven't discussed this matter with my mother and second uncle, is it a little too abrupt?" Xiao Yao said.

"Do you still want to refuse this pie that fell from the sky?" asked the old village chief rhetorically.

"It was so sudden, I just wasn't mentally prepared, and besides, my mother was not in good health, so I couldn't bear to leave. ”

"I will arrange someone to take care of your mother, a good boy has ambitions in all directions, you should put your heart on the future. ”

"Before leaving, I have one thing I want you to tell me truthfully. ”

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Yao clenched his fists slightly, but there was no fluctuation on his face, and then said lightly: "Whose knife did my father die in?"
