The Thang Long River, the longest river that runs through the entire Yanhuang Continent.

Since the Martial Saint slashed the dragon, the boundless body of the holy dragon collapsed, leaving a huge deep pit, and with the passage of time, it gradually formed the largest river in this heaven and earth, the Shenglong River.

After that, Emperor Xiaoyao passed down the decree of the Heavenly Machine, and the great rivers passed through various countries, and the width should not exceed one kilometer.

Subsequently, various countries mobilized manpower to fill the river, and the Thang Long River was created today.

On the east and west sides of the river, there are two huge dragon claw-shaped branches on the north and south sides, which continuously lead the water of the Thang Long River to the East China Sea to the east.

There are two dragon claw-shaped main veins in the west, one in the north grips the Tianshan Mountains, one in the south holds the Kunlun Mountains, and the tail of the river originates under the Thang Long Mountains, and the three major mountain ranges continue to provide abundant water sources for the river.

On the main vein south of the Thang Long River, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with the character dog on his head was struggling to climb onto the shore of the Thang Long River.

The original bronzed skin was blistered by the river water, and it was obvious that it had been soaked in the river for a long time.

The boy lay on the snow on the shore panting heavily, his face was weak and tired, but his eyes showed a resolute and stubborn gaze.

This person is none other than the fire baby who escaped from Thang Long Village, Li Huoding.

More than two months later, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Li Huoding looked at Zhongnan Mountain, which was straight into the sky, and showed an expectant look.

Since Li Huoding learned from the storyteller, more than 100 years ago, after Emperor Candle was hit with seven arrows in his body, Wu Hui, the Southern Emperor, lived in seclusion here and did not ask about the world.

In the past, the incense in the Nandi Temple in the mountains was prosperous, but now it has also become cold and gloomy due to heavy snowfall.

There were no footprints on the snow, and the huge incense burner in front of the temple was also piled up with snow.

Li Huoding cleaned up the snow in front of the hall, and then waved the snow in the incense burner with his sleeve and lit three high incense sticks.

Hold the incense feet between the index fingers and middle fingers of both hands, hold the two thumbs against the tail end of the incense feet, raise the incense feet flat between the eyebrows, bow down to make an inquiry, bow three times in a row, and step forward to insert three high incense sticks into the incense burner.

Li Huoding bypassed the incense burner and walked into the main hall.

In the main hall, the statue of the Southern Emperor Wu Hui stands in the middle of the offering platform, the left hand side enshrines the statue of Suiren, the right hand side enshrines the statue of Zhu Rong, Li Huoding walks to the futon in the center of the main hall, gets up and walks out of the main hall after three bows and nine knocks, and continues to walk towards the mountain.

In the Nandi Palace on the top of the mountain, Wu Hui, who was dressed in a fiery red robe, and Ou Yezi, who was sloppy, sat down and tasted the immortal tea in their hands together.

In the void in front of the two, the scene of the Nandi Temple in the mountains emerged.

Everything Li Huoding did was seen by the two.

Ou Yezi opened his mouth and said, "Why did this son come here?"

Wu Hui said lightly: "Apprentice." ”

"This son's foundation and character are all the best choices, and he is the best candidate to accept apprentices, I don't know if my brother can move?" Ou Yezi smiled and said.

Wu Hui smiled slightly bitterly and waved his hand slowly: "Don't make fun of me, my Vulcan lineage is passed down from generation to generation, and only one apprentice is accepted in one generation, and the matter of accepting apprentices needs to be remembered for a long time, not child's play, besides, this son is a native of the Night Wolf Country, and it is inevitable that there will be taboo things in his heart, and the murderous spirit will inevitably be too heavy, and it will inevitably be implicated too much by worldly things in the future." ”

Ou Yezi disagreed: "It's just to accept apprentices, it's just about fate, and everything follows the rules, isn't it in vain to increase troubles?"

Wu Hui didn't answer, pointed to the chessboard and said, "Daoyou have been separated for many years, how many games can you and I play?"

Ou Yezi replied with a light beard: "I am very happy, Brother Dao, please." ”

When Li Huoding stepped on the last stone step, Wu Hui, who was playing chess, pointed in the direction of Li Huoding, and Li Huoding felt a sense of dizziness, and he was awake again at the foot of the mountain.

Li Huoding was secretly depressed and didn't know why, but he didn't hesitate to climb the mountain again.

I have a deep blood feud, I can't worship Nandi as a teacher, how can I take revenge? I can't see Nandi, and I will never give up.

Just when Li Huoding climbed to the top of the mountain again, the dizziness came again, Li Huoding appeared at the foot of the mountain again, and without hesitation, Li Huoding went up the mountain again.

This time, Li Huoding stood on the penultimate stone steps and did not move forward, and was about to open his mouth to shout into the main hall, but he was sent back to the bottom of the mountain again.

Li Huoding was overjoyed, the situation in his heart was definitely not the work of the formation, it must have been done by the people in the Southern Emperor Palace.

It is rumored that the Southern Emperor lived in seclusion here, never accepted apprentices, and had no heirs, and the person who shot it was most likely the Southern Emperor.

It seems that he is not sincere enough, and in order to be recognized by Nandi.

Thinking of this, Li Huoding knelt on his knees, climbed the mountain again, and bowed down every time he went up the stone steps.

Ou Yezi, who was playing chess, smiled slightly: "This kid is very bright." ”

Wu Hui was silent and concentrated on playing chess.

When Li Huoding climbed to the top of the mountain again, in exchange for being sent down the foot of the mountain, Li Huoding did not give up kneeling on Biden Mountain again.

Dozens of days later, Li Huoding no longer knew that this was the first time he had been sent down the mountain.

Heavy cold cotton pants, the knees have been worn and broken, the knees are exposed, the blood has wet the exposed cotton, the palms of the two hands have been frozen and cracked, and the blood on the forehead is constantly flowing, and the appearance is very miserable.

Exhausted, Li Huoding's eyes were dilated, he had not eaten or drunk for several days, and he had relied on the falling snow on the stone steps to quench his thirst, and now he was unable to climb to the top of the mountain again.

In the past few days, he had given up more than once, but he persevered after thinking of the bloody feud against the village.

Li Huoding took out the dagger in his sleeve and cut the artery in his left hand, and blood gushed out.

Li Huoding gulped down the blood and regained some strength, but his mind was even more blurry.

Tearing strips of cloth from his clothes and wrapping the wounds, but there was still blood coming out, Li Huoding climbed to the top of the mountain with his hands and feet again, supporting his body with a single thought.

An hour later, Li Huoding finally passed out.

In the Nandi Palace, Ou Yezi shook his head and sighed: "If Brother Dao really doesn't want to accept apprentices, why don't you tell him early, and cut off his thoughts?" I look at this son's character, etiquette, foundation, qualifications, and perseverance are all excellent, and I have moved my heart to love talents, if Brother Dao allows, I am willing to accept this son and pass on my mantle!"

Wu Hui still smiled and said, "Daoyou's words are wrong, when did I say that I won't accept this person?" After speaking, Wu Hui disappeared in place.

The reappearance has already arrived at Li Huoding's side.

Ou Yezi smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and said, "It's really troublesome for the big man to act on the dominant side. ”

When the fire baby woke up again, it was already noon the next day, and her body was not as weak as she imagined, and the wounds on her knees and wrists had scabbed.

Li Huoding struggled to get up and pushed the door out, and when he saw Wu Hui and Ou Yezi sitting in the main hall, playing chess, he rushed over and knelt on his knees, kowtowed heavily and said: "Please two immortal masters accept me as an apprentice, pass on my immortal law, and the kid is willing to follow the immortal master forever, like his parents." ”

Li Huoding knelt too quickly, and the knee that had just scabbed over burst again and overflowed with blood.

Ou Yezi lightly wisped his beard and smiled slightly: "Xiaoyou, this is your master." After speaking, he lightly pointed at Wu Hui.

Li Huoding was overjoyed and hurriedly turned his head to bow back to Wu, "Master is here, please accept the disciple's worship." Li Huoding spoke nervously.

At this time, Wu Hui also nodded slightly with a kind face, and gently supported the sleeve of his left hand, helping Li Huoding up and said: "Since you are willing to join my fire god lineage, you will come with me to worship the ancestor and the ancestor, since Ou Yezi is also there, it is better to go together to be a witness." ”

Ou Yezi shook off the dust and said, "It's easy to say." ”
