Xifeng City has a special geographical location and is surrounded by Meridian Ridge on three sides.

The people in the city, in addition to farming and labor, the biggest source of income is to enter the Meridian Mountains to collect mountain medicinal materials.

The six major Xifeng City forces that set up a card next to the White Tiger Stream were exchanged for payment.

Although these remunerations are less than one percent of the value of mountain medicinal materials themselves, this is enough for ordinary people to support their families.

The White Tiger Stream is the only mountain road into the Meridian Ridge, and it is not impossible to enter the mountain from other places, but it is steep to dodge, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, unless the martial arts cultivation is extremely high, otherwise there is no entry and exit, not to mention that there are six major forces around the mountain patrol disciples, if they are caught, it is a trivial matter to confiscate something, and it is a big matter to lose their lives.

The White Tiger Stream is quite spacious, three zhang high and about ten zhang long. The guards sent by the six major forces every year live nearby.

Next to the White Tiger Stream is the entrance to the mountain pass, on the side of the small mountain road, there are a few tables and chairs, at this time the three young disciples of the Lingnan sect are chatting, and the weapons they carry are put aside at will.

"Senior Brother Xiao heard that after you complete this year's mountain guarding mission, you will be accepted as a registered disciple by Elder Feng, learn from my junior brother, I will congratulate Senior Brother here first. ”

One of the three was a handsome disciple who was not very old and said to the young man sitting in the middle.

The young man is in his twenties, and his appearance is ordinary, which is the senior brother Xiao in the mouth of the handsome young man, and he is also the three generations of disciples of the Lingnan faction, in addition to the three major personal disciples, there are several genius disciples with a good reputation.

Xiao Feng also sighed after listening to the words of his junior brother, he was born in a family of ordinary people, and there were five brothers and sisters in addition to Xiao Feng himself.

The Xiao family has only one laborer, Xiao's father, who relies on a few acres of thin land at home to make a living, and it is common for the Xiao family to not have enough to eat.

When Xiao Feng was twelve years old, in order to increase his income, Xiao's father followed several veterans of medicine collection to collect medicine in Ziwuling, but in the end, he never returned.

The departure of Xiao's father was a catastrophe for the Xiao family.

Relying on Xiao's mother alone, she can't maintain the expenses of the Xiao family at all, and Xiao Feng, as the eldest son in the family, can only risk going into the mountains to collect medicine.

I didn't want to almost die in the mountains for the first time, but fortunately, at the last moment, I was saved by a young disciple of the Lingnan faction in the meridian collar.

The other party saw that Xiao Feng was young, so he asked Xiao Feng why he entered the mountain, and Xiao Feng immediately told what happened to his family.

After thinking for a while, this Lingnan sect disciple actually returned to the Lingnan faction with Xiao Feng, and in the end, I don't know what means the other party used, and the Lingnan faction accepted Xiao Feng as a disciple for three generations.

After becoming a disciple of the Lingnan faction, the problems of the Xiao family were also solved.

Xiao Feng is already extraordinary, and his personality is extremely resolute, and he is carefully helped by the young disciples who brought him to the beginning.

However, in just eight years, he has already become a master of the middle third-rate period, second only to the three personal disciples among the younger generation.

And this young disciple who has been helping Xiao Feng for many years is Ren Pingsheng, one of the three major personal disciples of the Lingnan faction.

"Senior Brother don't want to make fun of me, if it weren't for Senior Brother Ren's repeated pleas with Elder Feng, Elder Feng, who has not accepted apprentices for many years, would not let go," Xiao Feng said with emotion.

"Who doesn't know that Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Brother Ren have had an extraordinary relationship since they were children, and they are like brothers, who does Senior Brother Ren help if Senior Brother Xiao doesn't help" Senior Brother Thin said to Xiao Feng with a smile.

"Yes! Thanks to Senior Brother Ren's care for me over the years, I, Xiao Feng, have long regarded him as my biological eldest brother. Xiao Feng thought of Ren Pingsheng, and said solemnly in his heart.

At this time, the handsome junior brother suddenly said, "Master Xiao, someone is here." ”

When Xiao Feng heard this, he looked towards it, and saw that on the official road connecting the Meridian Collar and the West Wind City, two men in Xuanxi Jin pretended to be carrying long swords were rushing over.

"It's my Lingnan faction's communication disciple stationed in the city," the emaciated junior disciple on the side said loudly after seeing the two of them.

"Let's go up and take a look" Xiao Feng guessed in his heart that something big had happened, otherwise the communication disciple, who had always been known for his stability, would not be so urgent.

Xiao Feng took the two of them to pick up their weapons, strode towards the two, and soon met the two messenger disciples.

"Two junior brothers, why are you so alarmed" Xiao Feng saluted the two of them and asked aloud.

When the two communication disciples saw that they were from their own sect, they breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be Xiao Feng, who was quite famous.

At that moment, one of the communication disciples hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother is polite." ”

"I've seen Senior Brother Xiao," another messenger disciple also spoke up.

"The two junior brothers don't have to be polite, I don't know if something important has happened, if it doesn't involve the secret in the door, can you tell the brother" Xiao Feng asked with a gentle expression.

The two communication disciples glanced at each other, their expressions hesitant, but they didn't answer for a while.

The silence between the two made the atmosphere between the two sides awkward.

In fact, according to the rules of the Lingnan sect, disciples in the sect are generally not allowed to inquire about the news from the disciples of the sect.

However, in life, it is always inseparable from the sophistication of human feelings, and some important news is revealed in private, and these disciples have not done it before, and of course, it is natural to collect some benefit fees.

"What a big boldness, you still want to accept Senior Brother Xiao's silver, I see that you arraisment disciples are becoming more and more blatant, believe it or not, I will report to the Law Enforcement Hall and detain you for a year and a half. At this time, the emaciated junior brother beside Xiao Feng said angrily.

"There is no need to be like this, the two messengers also act according to the rules of the door, so why bother them. Xiao Feng on the side patted his shoulder and reassured.

Seeing Xiao Feng's misunderstanding, the two interrogation disciples glanced at each other, and one of them said. “

"Don't misunderstand, the two brothers don't want to ask Senior Brother Xiao for benefits, but this matter is related to Senior Brother Xiao, so I don't know how to speak." ”

"Oh! has something to do with me? As soon as Xiao Feng heard the other party say this, he actually looked at the two of them sincerely at the moment when he had something to do with him.

"It's okay to tell Senior Brother Xiao, but Senior Brother hopes that Senior Brother Xiao will not be impulsive, and everything will be said after the two of us report to the head. Another messenger reminded cautiously.

"Don't worry, Xiao Feng will never affect the two of you. ”

Seeing that the other party was like this, Xiao Feng flashed a hint of ominous premonition in his heart, and assured in a deep voice.

"In this case, the two of us will not hide it from Senior Brother Xiao, today the two of us received news that one of my disciples was killed. ‘’

The two of us immediately rushed to collect the disciple's body and send it back to the door to report, but we didn't want to go only to find out that the dead person was actually Senior Brother Ren. The first messenger disciple looked at Xiao Feng cautiously and said.
