- Chapter 13: A Dream -

Lixian Inn-

In the dark, Liu Shiming only felt that he was in a small village, this village he was very familiar with, it was the Liujiazhuang where he grew up, there was a loving father, a gentle mother, and those aunts and uncles who doted on him-

Liu Shiming saw that he was still ten years old and followed his father to practice the martial arts of the Liu family in his own courtyard, and Liu Shiming still remembered that although the Liu family could not be compared with those big families and the sect of cultivating immortals, it was also a well-known martial arts family in the town. Liu Shiming saw the familiar loving and resolute face of his father in his memory, and couldn't help but burst into tears, ran over at the moment, and said to him loudly: "Dad, the child misses you so much." But no matter how loud he shouted, his father couldn't hear him, and no matter how hard he tried to run towards his father, he would always be so far away from his father—

"Ming'er, stand up, the man bleeds without tears, but the pain of practicing, how can he easily shed tears. Liu Wanjun shouted at Liu Shiming when he was a child-

"But, Dad, Ming'er just wants to study and be admitted to the imperial examination, and come back as an official to support you and your mother well. Koyanagi wiped his snot and tears and said-

"Nonsense! How can the people of my Liu family not practice martial arts? Besides, although I, Liu Wanjun, am only a martial artist, I also understand the principle that a fledgling bird should fly, and I don't want you to restrain your future because of us! Get up and practice again!" Liu Wanjun shouted.

I saw Xiao Yanagi Shiming standing up again with a bitter little face, practicing the martial arts of the Liu family, and his little face was red-

"Master, Ming'er has been weak since he was a child, and practicing martial arts is a bit reluctant for him, in fact, I hope that Ming'er will be able to be admitted to the imperial examination with his ability, be named an official, marry a daughter-in-law, and accompany me. "A beautiful woman came out of the door, still holding in her arms a little girl with double pigtails, who was asleep in her mother's arms, humming twice from time to time, and so lovely-

Liu Wanjun walked to his wife's side, took the little girl and held it in his arms, and rubbed the little girl's little face as white and tender as milk with his face full of scum. The little girl seemed to be shaving from the scum, and she actually cried "wow" -

"You reckless man, take away your stinky face, look, it's all made Niu Niu cry. Ye Wanyi scolded her husband who was still like a child, and then hugged Niuniu back. Leaving Liu Wanjun with an embarrassed face-

Looking at the warm and harmonious family, Liu Shiming has burst into tears-

"Father, Mother!" Liu Shiming screamed in the wing room of the inn and woke up, he put his hand on his face, only to realize that his face was already full of wet-

"Dreams. Liu Shiming wiped away his tears, shook his head, and then looked around, only to find himself lying in the inn-

"Squeak", the door was opened, only to see Yuan Hongdao probe into the house, saw Liu Shiming sitting on the bed, and immediately smiled: "Yo, little brother Liu is awake, recovery is fast!"

Liu Shiming stood up, clasped his fists and bowed down at the moment: "Thank you Brother Yuan for saving me, otherwise I will not be able to escape death this time." ”-

Yuan Hongdao hurriedly jumped away, waved his hand, and said, "Little Brother Liu, don't be like this, it's not my son who can save you." ”-

Liu Shiming was puzzled and asked: "I'm ashamed, that monster cultivation is powerful and extraordinary, and he was invincible, and after being bombarded by it under the wall, he didn't know what was going on, it wasn't Brother Yuan who saved him, I must thank that person." "I'm going to get out of the wings now-

"Hey, little brother Liu, don't move, although you are recovering now, you still need a few days of rest before you can act like a normal person. Besides, the person who saved you has already left, where are you going to find it?" Yuan Hongdao hurriedly supported Liu Shiming and lied-

"Then please ask Brother Yuan to tell me the appearance of that person below, and when you meet you next day, you can recognize each other. Liu Shiming said-

"This, that, the person who saved you is extremely powerful, how dare I come out at that time, their battle is not something I can participate in, I only saw the master in the distance, the whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of cyan gauze, and then I saw that the senior used two moves to easily defeat the monster, and then the monster fled, but unfortunately I never saw the front of the senior, you know, the masters are elusive. Yuan Hongdao continued to talk nonsense-

"I heard the master say that only the immortal cultivators in the psychic period can cast clothes with spirits, presumably that master is one of the masters of the eight sects of cultivation, if you have the opportunity to meet at the sword conference in three months, you must thank you in person." Liu Shiming said-

"Well, then you may not be able to meet you, so I won't go to the sword tasting conference of Na Raushzi. Yuan Hongdao said in his heart-

"Brother Yuan, since that demon has been defeated, have Nali County and those disappeared youths ever found it?" Liu Shiming asked-

"Little Brother Liu, don't worry, I was following behind that senior at the time, do you guess where the monster hid those people? It turned out to be hidden in the dry river in Lixian, but the monster cast an enchantment, and we couldn't see it, so we thought those people had disappeared. Thanks to that senior's magical power, he broke through the barrier and rescued those people. Yuan Hongdao said-

"It's just that what is that monster doing with so many young men?" Liu Shiming said strangely-

"I vaguely heard what kind of body or something was mentioned when the monster was fighting with his senior, and I don't know what it is?"

"Su Ti! I wondered that the monster didn't seem to have **, it turned out that I wanted to take those young men away!" Liu Shiming said suddenly.

"What is that?" Yuan Hongdao scratched his head and said-

"Most of that monster is looking for a suitable body for his spirit to live in, no wonder he has captured so many men. Liu Shiming said-

"Huh, it's good that Ben Gongzi's wit didn't come out, otherwise Ben Gongzi is so handsome that I'm afraid that I will be taken by that monster. Yuan Hongdao patted his chest in fear and said-

Liu Shiming shook his head, accustomed to Yuan Hongdao's crazy words, and asked, "Are all those men safe?"

"It stands to reason that after being locked up for so long, they should all be dead, and I don't know what means that monster used to make those people into a state of suspended animation, I only saw the long sleeves of the senior man, and those people came back to life. Yuan Hongdao said-

"I'm afraid that the monster wants to take away the living, and it's really cruel. "Liu Shiming hated and hated-

"That, little brother Liu, don't you really remember what happened after you fell into a coma?" Yuan Hongdao said with a deep meaning-

"I only remember being shot down by that monster Jin Mang to the city wall, and I really can't remember what happened next, Brother Yuan, what's wrong?"

"No, no. Yuan Hongdao waved his hand and said-

Liu Shiming looked at him strangely, and then a voice sounded outside the door: "Yuan Gongzi, is Liu Gongzi awake?"

"Ah, he's awake, come in. Then I saw the shopkeeper and his nephew and many young people enter the house-

"Thank you for the lives of the people in our county, please accept our worship from above!

Liu Shiming was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to help these people up, but he didn't think that his physical skills had not fully recovered, and his actions were shaky, Yuan Hongdao hurriedly helped him sit on the bed, and said, "Don't be reluctant if your body has not fully recovered." Besides, you also saved them, and it is right for you to be worshiped by them. ”-

Liu Shiming ignored him and said to those county citizens: "Everyone hurry up, I don't deserve everyone to be like this, I am a person who cultivates immortals, and it is my duty to eliminate demons and defend the way, everyone hurry up, otherwise I will be uneasy in my heart." ”-

When the people heard this, they stood up, and then they heard the shopkeeper say, "Young Master Liu, please rest first, and I'll go find something to eat and drink." ”-

Liu Shiming said: "When I just came, didn't the store say that there was nothing to eat?"

"Please forgive Xiao Lao'er for his previous rudeness, at first Xiao Lao'er suspected that Liu Gongzi could not defeat the monster, plus there was not much food left, Xiao Lao'er was selfish, so he lied to Gongzi and said that there was nothing to eat, now Gongzi is desperate to defeat the monster, we can work normally, how can we be so selfish, Liu Gongzi wait a while, Xiao Lao'er will go and get food for the two of you-

"Old Han, I still have a pig at home, I'm going to slaughter it and make meat for the two sons, haha. A man laughed-

The other residents expressed their gratitude one by one, and then left-

Liu Shiming and Yuan Hongdao were eating, Yuan Hongdao took a sip of wine, and said regretfully: "Hey, I didn't want to come here to find wine, but I didn't find the wine, but I encountered something strange." ”-

Liu Shiming hugged his fists and said, "Brother Yuan, I dragged you down." ”-

"Huh. This is not right again, I and Little Brother Liu hit it off at first sight, we are brothers, why do you need to say these stupid things, but, Little Brother Liu, this matter is over, what are your plans?"

"I'm going to go to see Senior Brother Changfeng first, inform me about this, and then go back to the sect to resume my life. Liu Shiming said-

"Eh, little brother Liu, please forgive me for saying more, your senior brother is greedy for life and afraid of death, now I'm afraid that I will hide back in the sect first, I don't know what your senior brother will say to slander you in your sect, I think it's better for you not to go back for the time being." ”-

"How can this be? I think the sect leader and elders in the sect and my master will definitely forgive me after knowing the details of this matter, so why don't I go back. ’-

"Eh, little brother Liu, the villain's words should not be underestimated, eh, little brother Liu is going to participate in the sword tasting conference in three months?"

"The kid's cultivation is low, and I'm afraid that he is not qualified to participate in the Sword Tasting Conference. Liu Shiming said regretfully, with a hint of unwillingness between his eyebrows, and it could be seen that he also wanted to participate-

"Then your senior brother is a candidate for the participant?"

"Senior Brother Changfeng is a candidate. Liu Shiming said-

Yuan Hongdao slapped his leg and said loudly: "Yes, Little Brother Liu, I have a way for you to participate in the Sword Competition!"
