Chapter 3: The Mysterious Man
The people of the conference hall dispersed. Only the Great Elder and the Third Elder remained. After a long silence, the Great Elder took the lead in breaking the silence: "Why are you doing this?" Seeing that the Third Elder was silent, it seemed that he didn't want to explain anything about this matter. The Great Elder continued: "Our Xu family is an ordinary family, how did we provoke this kind of trouble? Do you really think that the old man is afraid that the Li family is too young? But don't you forget! What is his identity! If he abolishes his martial arts cultivation today and makes him a mortal for a lifetime, what if he knows about the events of the year, how to deal with it?"
Hearing this, the Third Elder snorted coldly: "In this way, it is the old body who misunderstood you and cost you a good heart? Although the reason of the old body blocking your own old body today is different from that of the people of that place, you must not forget whose descendant he is! If something happens to him and is known by that person, it will not be such a simple matter at that time, and a great disaster will definitely come!" When the Great Elder heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while, and then he sighed: "Alas...... If he hadn't been entrusted by him to take this son in that day, he wouldn't have gone out of such a way, and let's see how he is created in the future!" said the Great Elder, and walked away, leaving only the three elders alone in the cold meeting hall.
"Xiao'er, be careful when you go to Pear Blossom Valley. The Li family's child is insidious and vicious, and he is not allowed to intercept and kill on the road, so I will let Steward Xiao walk with you and protect your safety. When you arrive at Pear Blossom Valley, go directly to the Pear Blossom Valley Valley, and he will arrange for you. Xu Mao said while helping Xu Xiao pack his bags. Xu Xiao, who returned to his residence from the conference hall, was speechless all the way, listening to Xu Mao's words, Xu Xiao suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at Xu Mao: "Father, two years later, on my ** day, I hope you can tell me about my mother, I have known that I have no mother since I can remember, but I should always know who my mother is" Xu Xiao's firm words were engraved in Xu Mao's heart word by word, his eyes were full of sympathy, looking at Xu Xiao. This child who has been carrying the reputation of wild seeds for sixteen years, he is really too bitter, it's not that he can't bear it, it's just that whose child can have this kind of mind? Sixteen years of insulting Xu Xiao has no complaints, and now that he is about to leave the Xu family, Xu Xiao's mind has never been disturbed. In his eyes, warmth and coldness are in people's hearts, how can a place without warmth be called home?
Xu Mao said movingly: "If you cultivate to the peak of a ninth-order boxer or an eighth-order boxer after two years, I will inform you at that time." After listening to Xu Mao's words, Xu Xiao didn't say anything, after all, his father gave a promise, so what's the harm of waiting for another two years?" The child said goodbye, and his father took care of himself. Watching Xu Xiao turn around and leave, Xu Mao's seriousness was full of complicated emotions, and it seemed that he was not just facing Xu Xiao alone. After a long time, he looked at the sky and said slowly: "In two years, maybe everything will be different from what you think, silly boy." Too white, too white, they all say that ruthlessness is not too white, I hope your original decision was right, otherwise for a child of this size, is it really wise to let him suffer so much?"
Outside Icevalley. An old man and a young man face the city gate, the old housekeeper has a kind face, this person has reached the peak of foundation building with a single body of cultivation, and he can be regarded as a small half of the master in this side of the water and soil, at least in this small Ice Valley City, he can be called a master, but he still has a deep emotion for the people of the Xu family, and immediately said to Xu Xiao: "Second young master, let's go?" Xu Xiao glanced at the two ancient edges of the ice valley above the city gate, and his eyes were full of disdain and coldness: "Sooner or later, one day, I will come back to level your Li family, but whoever tramples on me, I will get it back one by one!" Xu Xiao thought about it and said to the old housekeeper: "Grandpa Xiao, you go back, I will go to Pear Blossom Valley alone, if my father asks, you will answer him I insist on asking for it." When the old housekeeper heard this, how could he agree, and immediately refused: "How can this be done? Before leaving, the old man told him that he must not be too far away from the young master, and the young master did this, how would it be good for the old man to go back? Even if the old man did not explain, the second young master was still young, and his cultivation was no more than the fifth order, if Li Shen secretly made a mistake, how could he deal with it? Although it is not far to go to Lihua, it is not close, how can the young master go alone with a distance of more than 200 miles? There are thousands of demon beasts on the way, how can it be done?"
Xu Xiao smiled indifferently when he heard this: "Grandpa Xiao, you don't have to care about this." Although this trip is a long way, there are many ways to reach Pear Blossom Valley, not to mention that Li Shen doesn't know which path I take, even if he knows, how can he know when and where I will start? Besides, I was born in Ice Valley City for sixteen years, and the surrounding demon beasts naturally know a little bit about their natural weaknesses. Ordinary monsters can't help me. As for my father, you said to him, 'If you depend on someone else within two years, even if you meet the requirements, it will be someone else's work.' 'Cultivating this kind of thing, if you don't do it yourself, how can you kill yourself with the sky? Grandpa Xiao doesn't need to say much, I'll go on the road. Xu Xiao said, turned around, and walked forward resolutely, getting farther and farther away from the Ice Valley City. This sixteen-year-old boy has brought too much shock to the old butler today, is this the mind that a sixteen-year-old boy should have? Is this still the determination that an ordinary teenager should have? Watching Xu Xiao go farther and farther, the old man at the city gate sighed helplessly, and when he came back to his senses, Xu Xiao's figure had already disappeared on the horizon, and the old man could only helplessly return to Xu's mansion to resume his life.
Not long after Xu Xiao walked, he came across a cedar forest, because Yanzhou was almost in a frozen state, there were hardly any plants to be seen, except for the cedars, there was no green to be seen. Xu Xiao slowly walked to a cedar tree and sat cross-legged, taking out the topographic map of Kyushu from his baggage. According to the map, there are three roads from Ice Valley City to Pear Blossom Valley, the first is the Ice Valley Outer Avenue, which leads directly to Pear Blossom Valley, although this road is fast, but it is the longest one. If Li Shen set up an ambush on this road, it would inevitably meet, Xu Xiao ruled it out at the moment. The other road is the cedar forest, passing through the cedar forest outside the city, and then crossing two icebergs, you can reach it, but there are many monsters on this road, according to Xu Xiao's current strength, this road is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. There is also a road that passes through the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain and goes straight to the mouth of the Pear Blossom Valley. This 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountain has existed since the birth of Kyushu. Since no one knows how long it has existed, it was named Wannian Snow Mountain to highlight its majesty.
There is a record of the "Cave Meditation Record" written by the predecessors: "There is a dragon Xu melon, one foot long, the flower red leaf element, born in the ice valley, there are immortals who pick and eat it, then there is no thirst for a thousand years, and the cultivation of a hundred years is increased." So this snow-capped mountain has become a mysterious place in Yanzhou. There is also a record of "Kyushu Strange Chronicles": "Traveling to Xichuan's Dead State, encountering beasts, named Poor Qi, poor strange people are like tigers, and they like to eat Neidan." "I don't know which powerful immortal wrote the book. It is possible to depict such a ferocious beast in such detail. The road may seem treacherous, but there are many adventures. And although the Poor Beast is ferocious, it has no interest in ordinary monks, but any monk who does not have a knot in his body is not beneficial to the cultivation of demon beasts. For Xu Xiao, this road is currently the safest. At that moment, Xu Xiao was on the map, and said with a light smile: "Millennial Ice Valley, 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain, why is it so mysterious, I want to break through." ”
The sun was shining brightly overhead, but there was a glacier under your feet, and even the wide road was frozen by the cold weather, and there was no feeling of softness. Xu Xiao had just climbed a small hill and looked down at the Ice Valley City not far away, which was no more than the size of his fist at this time. "One day, I will be above the Nine Heavens!" Looking at Ice Valley City in the distance, Xu Xiao couldn't help but sigh. However, looking at the peaks one after another in front of him, Xu Xiao couldn't help but laugh at himself: "How can it be so easy? If you don't work hard, it's completely wishful thinking, and a mountain is still high!" Xu Xiao thought about it and walked straight to the next peak.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Xiao finally walked to the Great Rift Valley in the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountains, which is what people call the thousand-year-old ice valley. The reason why it is called the Millennium Ice Valley is that more than a thousand years ago, the two peerless immortals did not know what level they were. I only know that the two of them fought that day, and the immortal qi was all over the place, tearing apart the originally complete mountain peak, and dividing it into two from the middle, there is today's thousand-year-old ice valley. Xu Xiao walked slowly in this thousand-year-old ice valley, and under his feet was the abyss. The sound of rubble rolling is terrifying. For monks who can't fly with them, if they fall on their feet, there are no bones left. It's just that it's rarely visited here all year round, and I've hardly heard of anyone missing here. Suddenly, Xu Xiao heard a low roar coming from the cliff, it seemed to be a beast but it was a human voice, there were few people here, it shouldn't have been anyone, hearing this, Xu Xiao originally thought it was a killer sent by Li Shen, but there was no movement after a sound, which made him wonder. Following the source of the sound, I'm afraid it's coming from the cliff.
Xu Xiao cautiously found a barely walkable path from the edge of the steep cliff and slowly touched it to the cliff. When he climbed to the top of the cliff, he found a stone tablet standing in the ice and snow, and the stone tablet was as smooth as jade, without any writing. Beneath the stele stood a man, his white armor covering his body, blending into the snow and ice. He carried three long swords on his back, and there seemed to be blood stains on his scabbards. "Why is there anyone here? I'm afraid this dress is not an ordinary person, right?" Xu Xiao couldn't help but muttered to himself when he saw such a scene. "Little ghost, do you know why the handwriting on the stele here is missing?" The man raised his head, his long hair covering Xu Xiao's vision, and he could only see his mouth moving. Xu Xiao was about 20 zhang away from this person. He actually heard his own whispers. "This person's cultivation is absolutely unfathomable to me!" this is the conclusion Xu Xiao reached.
"Hey, little ghost, ask you something. The man seemed to be impatient, stood up and walked slowly towards Xu Xiao. The man was getting closer and closer to Xu Xiao, and at this time, he gradually saw the man's face clearly, on his dark yellow face, a very long scar spread from the bridge of his nose to both sides, and the eyes under the two sword eyebrows were full of essence and bright. Facing Xu Xiao, who was speechless, the corners of his mouth were also playful.
"Senior, junior Xu Xiao. It's my first time here, and I only crawled here when I heard a loud noise. The questions asked by the seniors are unknown to the juniors. Xu Xiao saw this person coming to him, and hurriedly saluted.
"I don't seem to have asked what your name is, right?" the man asked rhetorically after listening to Xu Xiao's words. There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth. But the surrounding air dropped instantly, and the aura gathered around it became denser and denser, directly pressing on Xu Xiao's surroundings. Xu Xiao's body naturally can't be subjected to such a strong aura, but any cultivator in the mortal realm, before reaching the foundation, although the rich aura can have great benefits for his own cultivation, if the concentration is too high, then the cultivator's physical body will be strongly squeezed, and finally explode and die.
In the face of the sudden threat of death, Xu Xiao had a bitter face, even in such a severe cold, he was sweating like rain, but he did not ask the mysterious man for mercy. I don't know how long it took, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour, in short, in Xu Xiao's opinion, this time was simply torture, and the aura around him suddenly returned to normal. Xu Xiao immediately lay on the ground and gasped for breath, the cold air directly entered his throat, and at this time, he didn't care about gathering his aura to his internal organs, but instinctively enjoyed the happiness of returning from the brink of death.
"It's funny, and you're kind of funny. The mysterious man actually laughed, squatted down and said to Xu Xiao, and then Xu Xiao remembered that there was another mysterious man. "Senior, you ......" Xu Xiao just wanted to speak, but was stopped by the mysterious man. "For so many years, you are still the first mortal to hold a cup of tea in the state of my true qi, which is rare. Listening to the mysterious man, it turned out to be just a cup of tea, and I thought it was a few hours later, which was really ridiculous. "Boy, why don't you beg me for mercy, aren't you afraid?" said the man with a laugh.
"Ahem...... Ahem...... When I go back to my seniors, I am not afraid that it would be a lie, but I have never known my predecessors, and I have never had a holiday, and the strength of my fifth-order boxer is even more unlikely to have any grudges with my predecessors, so I believe that my seniors will not kill me. Besides, even if the seniors really wanted to kill me, they didn't need to be so careful. Senior, do you say so?" Xu Xiao said calmly.
"Interesting, but also honest, hahaha, the yellow-mouthed son actually has such insight and courage, he will definitely not be a young person one day. So you really don't know the reason for this stele?" the mysterious man laughed. "The younger generation really doesn't know. After listening to Xu Xiao's words, the mysterious man fell into deep thought, Xu Xiao stood aside for a while, and didn't know what to do, and wanted to step forward to ask the mysterious man's origin, but he didn't dare to interrupt this person's thoughts, just afraid of another aura pressure. After a long time, the mysterious man sighed, turned around and saw that Xu Xiao was still moving, "You kid has been here?"
"Yes, Senpai. Xu Xiao had to reply when he saw that person talking to him. "I didn't let you stay, why didn't you leave?" Hearing this, Xu Xiao was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer. "Are you afraid that I'll do what I just did? Do you have anything to say, for the sake of the fact that you have lost me here for so long, you can just say it. The mysterious man laughed.
"Yes, senior, juniors do have a question for juniors. Who are the predecessors, and what is the matter with this Ice Valley?" Xu Xiao said his questions in one breath. "You don't need to know what I'm talking about here, but who I am, hehe...... In that place, they all called me Breaker. The mysterious man glanced at the sky and said lightly.
