The land of Yunmengze is covered by clouds and fog all year round, and the peripheral area is swamps and primeval forests, with many poisonous insects and beasts.

It is also recorded in the book "Kyushu Realm" that there is a nightmare beast unique to Kyushu here, which often swims in the swamps and deep forests at night, and encounters human beings who turn back into their brains, causing them to fall into the most frightening dream scenes until they die of madness.

Because of this, no large cities have been formed around Yunmengze. However, on the other hand, the sparse population has also led to the precious medicinal materials growing in Yunmengze, and the furs of some rare beasts, which make many people willing to pay a high price for them.

Over time, a canyon formed by the mining of minerals in the east of Yunmengze became a habitat for merchants selling medicinal herbs and furs. Over time, a village has been formed here.

On the side where the canyon is in contact with the primeval deep forest, a stone wall is built with mountain rocks, and three layers are stacked on top of each other, which is unimaginably strong. When the minerals were first excavated, the canyon was carved into a slope shape, and the surface of the ground is all hard mountains, and the continuous rain of Yunmengze in all seasons will also flow down the slope and enter the primeval deep forest outside the canyon.

Soon after the sun rose, the horizon of the eastern sky was still a hazy fiery red, and the disc-shaped red sun was blurred in the thick mist.

The light shines through the clouds in an oblique direction on the higher parts of the canyon. The moist water vapor sticks to the human skin, and the wind that seems unkind is blowing, and the cold breath makes the whole person feel relieved.

The bare-armed boy climbed up from the uneven rocks below the canyon with the medicinal herbs in a wooden box on his back, sweat leaving on his face. But he still gritted his teeth and climbed up with an unusually resolute look.

As he was about to reach the carriage on the flat road above, his right foot suddenly stepped on a sharp stone shaped like a diamond, and the tip of the stone instantly pierced into the sole of his bare foot, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"Ugh!"

Rao is a young man is strong, and the pain also makes him cry out. The worst thing was that his box slid from his back to the ground. The box was full of extremely precious medicinal materials, and if he fell like this, there would be some damage, and he couldn't afford such a loss.

Just as he watched in horror as the wooden box fell to the ground, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of his eyes. When he came back to his senses, a young man in white with a luxurious gold mask was delicately placing the box on the ground and smiling at him.

Seeing his reassuring gentle smile, the young man couldn't help but be dizzy, even dazzling. The young man smiled at him and said, "Are you alright?"

The boy came back to his senses, let out a "uh", and lowered his head with a red face.

The young man didn't care, took out a small piece of silver, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Even if you want to save money, you still have to buy a pair of shoes, and your body is important." Well, goodbye. ”

After the young man handed him the money, he turned away without asking his name or asking for thanks, and then turned away with a beautiful woman holding a painting that appeared at some point.

The young man looked at the young man's back in a daze, and waited until others called him back to his senses. He involuntarily picked up the wooden box and continued to climb up, and suddenly he found that the foot board that had been poked to the bone just now had healed at some point.

He turned to look at the young man who was walking calmly towards the inn, and at the same time there was a look of adoration on his face, as if he had made up his mind. He lifted the wooden box on his back, let out a low roar, hunched over and ran towards the carriage diagonally above him.

In the inn.

Yin Fan put a piece of silver on the cabinet and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, come to the two houses, it's not bad for money." ”

The shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus in his hand, and ignored him when he heard him speak, and did not stop until he finished settling the account in his hand, and his eyes shot out from the gap between his glasses and his forehead, looking at the two of them.

The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw Yin Fan's golden mask, but he quickly returned to normal, lowered his head again and continued to settle the accounts, and said lazily: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, there have been a lot of people recently, and even the firewood room has been full. ”

Yin Fan was stunned, he never expected this result, seeing that the shopkeeper didn't want to deal with it anymore, he could only shake his head helplessly, turned around and walked out.

I walked three or four inns next to me in a row, and the results were all like this, all of them were full.

Yin Fan shook his head helplessly and said, "This is a headache." He turned to look at Suo Bing and said strangely: "Miss Suo, why haven't you raised the bar with me since just now?" ”

Suo Bing seemed to be thinking about something, and only then did he come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "What, Childe misses me?"

Yin Fan said lightly: "No, I just feel that the world is a lot quieter." ”

Suo Bing snorted coldly, but in an instant, he showed a curious look and asked, "That young man is just an ordinary person, what are you helping him do?"

Yin Fan was stunned and said, "What's unusual, what's wrong with pulling him by the hand?"

Suo Bing looked at Yin Fan's eyes, suddenly turned his face away, and was silent.

Yin Fan didn't know what she was thinking, so he said helplessly: "Miss Suo, there is no place to live now, what are you going to do?" I'm afraid that your bath water will not be found." ”

Suo Bing glanced at him and said, "You just find someone to beat him away, anyway, with your strength, I don't believe that you can lose alone." ”

As soon as Suo Bing said this, Yin Fan instantly felt that in the inn, in the tea shop, in the inexplicable corner, countless eyes fell on himself and Suo Bing.

Yin Fan's eyelids jumped, coughed dryly, and said: "I'm sorry, my cultivation is still low, I have to rely on you to help me here, where do I dare to fight with others, this kind of mighty thing, I have to come to Miss You." ”

Suo Bing sneered, the person in front of him showed a ninth-level appearance of the Spirit Realm, and he really couldn't fly. If you hadn't gone with him, I'm afraid that even I would have to be deceived by him.

Suo Bing said: "I'm really embarrassed, I didn't eat or take a bath, and I didn't have the strength to do it." ”

Yin Fan smiled: "That's easy to say, let's go find food to eat, find a place to take a bath, don't go find someone to be beaten." After speaking, Yin Fan turned around and walked forward.

Although it is a village, it is home to thousands of people because of its compact architectural arrangement. Eventually, the two finally found an ordinary guest room in a remote corner.

There was no way, there had to be a place to rest, so the two of them only opened one room. Although this was already two hours ago, Yin Fan still couldn't forget the envy and sinister look on the faces of those business travelers who were eating in the lobby.

Lying on the roof of the building to bask in the sun, from time to time you can hear Suo Bing yelling and rolling, followed by the sound of jingling bells. Yes, another fault finding reimbursement has been made.

Yin Fan shook his head helplessly, and suddenly felt that the light was dimming. Looking up, the clouds that appeared at some point gathered and blocked the sun, and a cold wind blew in the canyon for a moment.

-- It's going to rain again.

As soon as this thought appeared in Yin Fan's mind, a rumbling thunder sounded in the sky, and raindrops fell in response. Yin Fan opened the "Xiaoxiang" umbrella with his hand, and stood on the roof of the building and looked at those people running around in the rain, which was a lot of fun.

Suddenly, a young man appeared in Yin Fan's sight. With his bare arms and not caring about the rain, he hid in the corner of an alley, and looked at the inn where Yin Fan was. His face seemed to turn red with excitement and self-oppression.

The boy suddenly plucked up the courage to walk to the inn, but turned back halfway, and after a while he came again, and walked over again. I am afraid that there will be no less than seven or eight times back and forth like this.

Yin Fan was a little curious about this young man, looked at his face fixedly, and found that it was the young man he helped in the morning. As soon as Yin Fan's body moved, he disappeared in place.

Yin Fan stood behind the young man with an umbrella and said, "What are you doing?"

"Uh!" The young man was startled by the sudden sound, turned around and saw that it was Yin Fan, first stunned, then turned into a look of surprise, and was about to make a move, when he happened to encounter a complete thunder that shook the sky, and everyone was almost stupid.

Yin Fan smiled, channeled a trace of true yuan into his body, made him come to his senses, and said, "On a rainy day, go home quickly." ”

The boy quickly returned to normal with the support of his true yuan, and he made a quick gesture with his hand while making a "uh-uh" sound.

Yin Fan was stunned, only to find out that he was a mute. Seeing that he didn't understand what he was saying, the dumb man suddenly knelt on the ground, pointing to the sky for a while, pointing to the ground for a while, and then pointing at Yin Fan with his right hand, and then pointing at himself.

Yin Fan watched it for a long time and still didn't understand what he was talking about.

Seeing that he still did not understand, the dumb man became even more anxious, and suddenly kowtowed on the rocky surface, and smashed his forehead in just one moment.

Yin Fan was startled, and quickly used Zhenyuan to hold him up, frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

The mute blushed and looked like he was about to cry. Yin Fan's eyes flickered, and the blood talisman reappeared, and the mysterious power wandered from his whole body, not only his forehead, but also his throat.

Yin Fan withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "You should be born dumb, you should know how to pronounce it, right?"

The mute was stunned by what he said, and quickly pointed to his throat, and then waved his hand. It's just that when he didn't expect it, it wasn't a "uh-uh" sound came out of his throat, but an accurate one: "I can't speak......"

With just a few words, he was like an electric shock, and his whole body stiffened there. In just a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and tears flowed involuntarily. Seeing that he was about to kneel and kowtow, Yin Fan hurriedly stopped him.

Yin Fan smiled: "You just said that I would help you treat your illness of not being able to speak, right?"

The dumb man quickly shook his head and said, "I, I want, worship, apprentice." He didn't speak for a long time, stammering, but he still made his meaning clear.

Yin Fan was stunned for a moment and repeated: "Apprenticeship?"

The dumb man ignored Yin Fan's obstruction, and knelt on the ground again, only afraid that his knees were rotten, he said firmly: "Please go up, go to the immortals, accept me as an apprentice!"
