Chapter 1: The Stray Child

A gust of wind blew, rolling up a piece of wind and sand, hitting the branches, and the whole forest swayed incessantly, pulling the whole shade of the tree, and there was no ray of sunlight in sight.

Ye An, who was sitting on the lawn, opened his eyes and looked at the withered yellow in front of him with a sour and weak body.

After a long time, Ye An lay down again, with his guts, he didn't dare to risk facing the officers and soldiers of the imperial court at all, not to mention that Ye An didn't know the way back at all.

He looked at the sky in a daze, and the heavens never seemed to favor him.

Since he was a child, he has wandered alone in Mengguo, stolen chickens, touched dogs, and naturally been beaten. Courage is such a thing, after the plague in the north of Meng, gradually filled his head, I thought that I could follow the mountain bandits to eat for two days

"The officers and soldiers are really powerful, if I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have been exterminated to death like those mountain bandits. Ye An gritted his teeth, and it took a lot of effort to make himself stagger to his feet.

Ahead, the breeze struck, and the reflection in the creek staggered and began to shatter, Ye An endured the soreness of his feet and stepped forward.

Drinking a large mouthful of river water, the coldness stimulated Ye An's somewhat trance-like spirit, and after a while, the feeling of discomfort gradually dissipated, and Ye An picked up a handful of clear water again.

Half of the dirty sleeves wiped his face indiscriminately. Calming down, he couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at his feet.

"I ran in a hurry last night, and I didn't even notice that one of my shoes fell off. It was the only pair of cotton shoes I've had in 14 years. ”

Ye An was stunned for a while, and after feeling sorry for his cloth shoes, he lowered his head and began to look for some dead grass, preparing to weave a new pair of straw shoes by himself.

In the middle of the night, Ye An put on his straw sandals and stood up, looking at the river that seemed to be getting more and more turbulent.

He subconsciously grabbed the grass in his hand and sighed.

"The way of the world...... It's hard to be alive......"

Ye An couldn't help but feel upset when he thought of this, and wanted to pick up a stone and throw it far away into the river, but now he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

Ye An lay beside the river as if he was resigned to his fate, and the scenes since he had memories flashed in his mind, all of which were how he was crawling and rolling in these fatherless and motherless years.

The afterglow of the sunrise was sprinkled on the young man's face, full of loneliness.

"Wow~"

"Wow~"

Suddenly, a column of water like a human face protruded from the water, and it was slowly rising.

Where did Ye An know such a scene, his heart immediately trembled, and he didn't know where he got the strength to stand up, and subconsciously moved behind him.

In the blink of an eye, the water column finally dissipated, but Ye An was still in place - he really didn't have the strength to run anymore.

He looked intently and saw a strange black carp with fangs and four legs floating in the air, grinding its teeth from time to time. Although his eyes didn't move, Ye An always felt that this thing was looking at him!

Monster.

This is the only word Ye An can think of at this moment. His mind was blank at this moment, and his face was extremely pale. The sound made by the monster was like a requiem from Jiuyou, beating Ye An's heart fiercely, obviously frightened.

Not to mention that Ye An is just a fourteen-year-old boy, even if he is an adult, he should be glad that he didn't faint and waited for the fish.

While Ye An was still frightened, the terrifying four-legged carp monster had already come ashore.

The size can't be considered big, not even Ye An's two slaps.

But that fish face looked extremely hideous in Ye An's eyes. The sun had risen at this time, but there was a gust of wind shining on Ye An, as if the temperature around him had dropped.

Ye An couldn't lift a trace of strength on his body, and he had heard a lot of stories about monsters eating people when he was a child, but he didn't expect that now he was going to become the ration of this monster.

Ye An knew that he was powerless to resist, closed his eyes and waited for his soul to return to the Nine Shadows, the only thought in his heart was that he was still hungry, but he didn't expect to become a monster's food for a while.

At this moment, there was a sudden whispering sound, and Ye An subconsciously followed the sound.

I saw a middle-aged man standing in mid-air, lined up in green clothes, with an indescribable calmness in his eyes, but it gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

And the monster suddenly opened its bloody mouth at this moment, let out a strange scream, its protruding eyes glowed with a hint of red, and walked towards Ye An step by step.

Ye Anxin shuddered, subconsciously took a few steps back, and didn't know where the strength came from, grabbed a few fist-sized stones in his hands, and smashed them at the monster in a panic.

But although one or two pieces of the stone smashed on the monster's body, it didn't even cause a trace of damage, and it bounced away from the body.

Ye An's face was even more horrified, and a look of despair swelled in his heart.

The man in the sky looked at Ye An for a long time, and then faintly forgot about the monster, raised his right hand slightly, and with a flick of it, a spiritual light instantly emitted from his fingers and disappeared into the monster. The monster screamed and fell to a pool of blood.

Ye An stared blankly at this monster that had just brought infinite fear to himself, and was actually put to death by the man in the sky who lightly popped out a ray of light. His breathing was a little rapid, and his mind went blank. "Child, what's your name?"

He looked at the frightened Ye An, and a hint of strange color flashed on his face.

"Immortal Immortal?" Ye An didn't hear Tianque's inquiry at all, and just muttered to himself.

"Xiao'er, why didn't you answer what you said?" the middle-aged man seemed a little impatient.

Ye An did not answer immediately, but knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed three times very respectfully, and then said timidly:

"Back to the immortals, the little one's name is Ye An, who was chased by the strongman last night and fled all the way here. I just met a monster, and I thought I was going to die like this, but I was fortunate to be rescued by the grace of the immortals. The small one will definitely set up an immortal tablet for the immortals in the future, and hope that the immortals will tell him the law number. ”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled dumbly and said: "It is the fate of you and me to rescue you, as for cutting off the carp essence that is not a good way, it is only my hand, you don't have to do this." ”

Ye An didn't say anything more after hearing this, but just kowtowed three more times in silence.

At this time, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and a blue light flew towards Ye An. In the blink of an eye, Ye An suddenly felt that his energy had increased greatly, and he was no longer as powerless as before.

"Ye An, let me ask you, do you have a place to go?"

"If you return to the immortals, Xiao'er has been wandering in the city of Mengguo since the day he can remember, and his family is only himself. Speaking of this, Ye An's eyes did not show any frustration, but looked more determined. If not, how could he be alone, struggling to survive in this world without relatives?

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face was still indifferent, and suddenly he had a faint hint of expectation in his eyes, and said: "Since you have nowhere to go, I think your kid is very pleasing to the eye, why don't you go back to the sect with me." But the mountains are hard, the practice is far away, and it is even more rare to have the opportunity to go down the mountain after entering the sect, so you can think about it. ”

When the words fell, Ye An nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation. In his opinion, if he hadn't met this immortal today, he wouldn't know where his soul would be, and for the moment, it would be the same wherever he went, not to mention the opportunity to practice with the immortal?

You won't go hungry with the immortals.

Ye An only felt that his body was light, and when he turned around, he was already sitting in front of the immortal, and the wind gusted, and his face was painful.

He tried to open one eye and sneak a glance at the immortal, only to see that he looked indifferent, as if he didn't care at all, or didn't care at all.

"Turn around, don't get hurt by the wind. The voice of the immortal came from his ears. Ye An couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, and hurriedly turned around, and watched the place he had just left gradually turn into a black spot, and he yearned for the sect of immortals even more.

At tea time, Ye An felt that his speed slowly began to decline until he stopped completely. The immortal ignored him at this time, and began to walk towards the front on his own.

Ye An straightened his hair that was blown by the wind, and then hurriedly followed the pace of the immortals.

And the immortal, at this time, his eyes showed a trace of sadness and excitement.
