The dry and cracked ground was full of kneeling people, all of them yellow-skinned and ragged.

The huge sun hung low over their heads, swaying with a vicious heat.

The devout people prayed in unison against the scorching sun, hoping to appease the wrath of the gods.

However, their voices did not reach the heavens.

Purple lightning tore through the sky and rained down like a torrential rain.

Desperate people wailed and turned into char in the lightning;

Mountains and rivers shattered and collapsed in lightning;

Until all things are reduced to powder in this never-ending lightning.

Then, the whole world returned to the darkness of chaos.

............

"Ah~" Lin Xiuyuan exclaimed, opened his eyes, and the scorching stench of the charcoal black corpse in his dream seemed to linger on the tip of his nose, making him almost nauseous. Taking two breaths and shaking his head vigorously, he sat up and looked around, finding himself in a bamboo hut.

The bamboo house is not big, and the furnishings are very simple, except for the bamboo bed under Lin Xiuyuan, there is only a table and a few chairs in the bamboo house. However, what is special is that all the furniture in the house, including the entire room, is made of a kind of crystal-like turquoise bamboo. The warm yellow sunset shone in through the open window, reflecting the room in a magnificent golden red, so beautiful that it was as unreal as a dream, so that Lin Xiuyuan could hardly tell whether he was awake or in another dream.

Lin Xiuyuan looked at the head of the bed, and the jade box containing Lingzhi and the jade talisman given by Zheng Ping were placed next to the pillow. He picked up the jade talisman and held it in the palm of his hand, wondering a little in his heart: Where is this? How did he get here? Could it be that Uncle Zheng finally defeated that bad guy and then found himself, this is Ziyun Mountain?

Just as he was guessing, the door creaked open, and a man walked in with a bowl.

The man looked about thirty years old, handsome, with a rather cold eyebrows, and no expression, the whole person seemed to be exuding a chill. He was wearing a fiery red robe, which was embroidered with intricate patterns with gold thread, looking solemn and elegant.

"Let's eat something first. The man handed the bowl to him, his voice as cold as his expression.

Lin Xiu couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that it was not Zheng Ping, but although he didn't know this man, he was indeed hungry. Just when he wanted to take the bowl, Lin Xiuyuan suddenly smelled a choking burnt smell coming from the bowl, he looked at the slimy thing in the bowl carefully, but he couldn't tell what kind of ingredients it was made of. The terrible sight and smell of the food in the bowl reminded him of the charred corpse in his dream, and he couldn't help but feel sick again.

The man said coldly with an expressionless face: "You have slept for three days, you must eat something." ”

Lin Xiuyuan was a little frightened by this strange and cold man in his heart, seeing that he had been looking at him with the bowl, he had to reach out and take it, but he didn't dare to put the suspicious thing in the bowl into his mouth.

Against the man's gaze, Lin Xiuyuan sat holding the bowl for a while, and finally couldn't stand the atmosphere, and broke the silence: "Where am I? Who are you?"

"This is Shangxuanzong, my name is Li Zhenghai, three days ago I found you unconscious by the lake below the mountain, so I brought you back. The man seemed to see that he didn't want to eat, but was just resistant to the smell of the bowl, so he took the bowl back from his hand and turned to walk out, "I'll go find something else for you to eat." ”

Lin Xiuyuan saw that he said to go, so he hurriedly leaned over and grabbed him, and just as he wanted to speak, he felt a sudden pain in his chest, and couldn't help but let out an "ouch", and fell to the ground.

"You are injured, you should not move, you need to recuperate. Li Zhenghai helped him up, saving him from falling into a mouth full of mud. It's just that although he said words of concern, he still had that cold tone, making it difficult for people to detect his kindness.

"I just want to ask, when you found me down the mountain, did you see anyone else?" Lin Xiuyuan took a breath and rubbed his chest and asked.

"Nope. ”

"What, you, are you sure?" Hearing the negative answer, Lin Xiuyuan was a little anxious, and he was very worried about Zheng Ping's safety.

Li Zhenghai frowned slightly when he looked at his anxious appearance, and said coldly: "I said that you are injured and need to recuperate." ”

"But how can I calm down?Uncle Zheng, he may be in danger, Uncle Kunjia, he is trying to save me......" Lin Xiuyuan remembered the gentle eyes of Kunjia he saw at the end, and couldn't say any more.

"That was three days ago, and it's useless for you to be in a hurry now. Li Zhenghai pointed out the crux of the problem to the point.

Lin Xiuyuan was speechless, although on the surface Li Zhenghai's words were not wrong, Lin Xiuyuan still felt that he was not right to say that. But he couldn't think of how to refute it, so he had to bite his lower lip and get secretly angry, worried and anxious in his heart, and even his chest hurt even more. But even though the pain in his chest was terrible, he still gritted his teeth and endured it without saying a word.

Li Zhenghai listened to his breathing becoming more and more rapid, and trembled all over, knowing that he was suffering from an injury, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, urging his mana to regulate his injury.

Lin Xiuyuan was sweating profusely and enduring the pain, when he suddenly felt a warm current coming from Li Zhenghai's hand on his back. The warm current slowly flowed in his body, and the place he passed through was comfortable, and even the pain in his chest was much lighter, and after a few laps, Lin Xiuyuan only felt that his whole body was like soaking in warm water, and it was indescribably comfortable, and he couldn't help but hum twice, his eyelids sank, and he sank into a dream again.

This time the dream is messy and disorderly, in the dream, one will be staying at the bedside of the seriously ill and dying Bai Da Niang and crying quietly, one will be Zheng Ping flying in Huangxia Mountain with his back, and then Zhao Dazhuan will force himself to study, and so on, as if he is living his life again in a dream. By the time he opened his eyes again, it was completely dark. Although he dreamed a lot, Lin Xiuyuan felt that he slept very comfortably this night, and after waking up, he was a little hungrier, but his spirit was very good.

Sitting up and looking around, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he didn't see the ice-like man waiting for him with any strange food. He got out of bed and walked to the table to pour a glass of water, and as soon as he took a sip, his eyes were drawn to an oil lamp on the table.

The oil lamp looks like it is made of bronze and has a simple shape, but there is neither lamp oil nor wick in the oil lamp, but a small flame is lit out of thin air, and the whole room is reflected incomparably bright. Lin Xiuyuan tilted his head, leaned over to study the candlestick carefully, and then was surprised to find that no matter how he moved, even if he blew hard at it, the flame was still burning steadily.

If it had been placed in the past, Lin Xiuyuan would have shouted and marveled. But now he is just curiously studying the oil lamp, and he doesn't feel very strange in his heart. Because he already vaguely understood that this Shangxuanzong was mostly the same as Ziyun Mountain, a sect of cultivation.

Just as Lin Xiuyuan was concentrating on how to extinguish the flame, the door was pushed open. When he turned around, he saw Li Zhenghai walking in with a food box. Thinking of the bowl of blackened unknown food during the day, Lin Xiuyuan's scalp couldn't help but tingle.

"Let's have a bite to eat. Li Zhenghai put the food box on the table, opened the lid of the box, and took out a large bowl of white porridge and a few plates of light side dishes from it.

This time, Lin Xiuyuan finally smelled the aroma of normal food, and looked at the table, all kinds of food in the dishes looked normal, and the heart he had been hanging on was put down. Swallowing his saliva, Lin Xiuyuan found that he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his stomach began to rumble, he rubbed his stomach with a blushing face, pulled a chair and sat down, picked up the bowl and devoured it.

It wasn't until he drank the second bowl of porridge that Lin Xiuyuan noticed that Li Zhenghai was just standing on the side and watching himself eat quietly, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He smiled and shook the bowl in his hand, "Ice ...... Uncle Li, let's eat together?"

"No, I don't. Li Zhenghai refused with a cold face.

"Oh. Lin Xiuyuan put a cold ass on his hot face, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he stopped talking, and just ate with a dull headache.

"Senior brother, it's okay if you keep a straight face with us all day long, how can you treat people and children like this, aren't you afraid of scaring people?" A man dressed very fancy, said and walked in from outside the door.

"Senior brother. Li Zhenghai glanced at him and said hello lightly.

This man is none other than Li Zhenghai's senior brother, Master Qingyuan.

He is similar in size and age to Li Zhenghai, and he is not handsome, but the slightly raised corners of his eyes add a bit of ostentatious luster to his slightly ordinary facial features. The robe on his body is a dazzling azure, embroidered with a large pink peach blossom, a bright woven gold belt is tied around his waist, and he wears a small crown of agate with exquisite workmanship on his head, although the weather is not hot, but he holds a purple sandalwood fan in his hand.

"Tsk, it's really disappointing to see Senior Brother so cold every time!" Qing Yuan said this, but there was no disappointment on his face.

He shook his fan and came to the two of them, and looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a kind face, "You are the child that my junior brother rescued from the bottom of the mountain, right? He covered his mouth with a fan with an exaggerated face, and exclaimed, "Oh, if you look closely, this kid looks so clever and smart, it's really attractive! Especially these eyes, they are so beautiful!"

He had never been praised so bluntly, Lin Xiuyuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and returned a shy smile to Qingyuan.

Qingyuan nodded at him with a smile, then leaned into Li Zhenghai's ear, unfolded his fan to block his mouth and whispered: "Senior brother, have you probed his meridians? His eyes are so strange, it can't be a little monster, right?"

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, although Qingyuan lowered his voice a little, it was not to the level of whispering, and he was standing between Li Zhenghai and Lin Xiuyuan, so these words all reached Lin Xiuyuan's ears word for word.

After Lin Xiuyuan heard these words, the smile on his face froze.

Who knew that Qingyuan actually laughed after seeing his expression, pulled Li Zhenghai's sleeve and shouted: "Senior brother, look, the different color in his eyes is even more conspicuous when he is angry! Hmm, maybe he is really a little monster!"
