Chapter 2 Back Mountain
A few people stopped in front of the hut, Xiao Se stepped forward to push the door to welcome the four people, at this time an old woman came out of the house, heard the sound of the door and thought it was Xiao Se coming back, and casually shouted: "Child, come into the house and eat!"
Suddenly, the old woman saw the four people of Mu Yunzong, hurriedly pulled Xiao Se over, and asked in a low voice, "Child, ...... are they?"
Before she could finish asking, Xiao Se took two steps back and knelt in front of the old woman, "Mother, they are the people of the Mu Yun Sect, the leader of the righteous path today, and among them, this great elder is the master that the child just recognized!"
"Oh, you can talk as you speak, what do you do on your knees. The old woman hurried forward to pick up Xiao Se, when an old man also came out of the house.
"you, what's going on?"
"I don't know, this kid came back with these four people, what else did he say about Muyun Sect...... By the way, he also said that this great elder is his master, you see him kneeling here, but I can't pull it, you come and talk to the child. The old woman pulled the old man to her side with her hands, which had been rough for many years.
Ling Feng stepped forward with a smile, leaned over slightly, and said respectfully: "Old man, I am Ling Feng, the Great Elder of the Muyun Sect, today we came to Xiaofeng Mountain to do some things, seeing that Xiao Se has excellent qualifications and a good surname, in a hurry, I will accept him as an apprentice before I can explain it to you, and I hope to forgive me for the offense." ”
The old man understood the reason for the matter, turned his head to look at Xiao Se's firm face, and said in his heart: "This kid is also willing!"
After sighing lightly, the old man stretched out his hands and helped Xiao Se up, the wrinkled eye circles were already red, but he still smiled, touched Xiao Se's hair with caresses, and said softly: "Child, although my old couple has no children under their knees, I have found that you are by no means an ordinary person since I beat you to be sensible, and at the same time, I also told you about your life experience without the slightest concealment." ”
Speaking of this, the old woman next to her also seemed to understand, and stepped forward to hold Xiao Se tightly, "Child, are you going to go with them?"
The old man patted the old woman's shoulder and continued: "Although I can't bear to be separated from you with your mother, my father will never stop you. It's just that if you succeed in cultivation in the future, remember to do more good deeds, and don't waste my wish and your mother's wishes. ”
After hearing these words, Xiao Se was already in tears, and knelt on the ground again, "The child remembers the teachings of his father, but I don't know when I will be able to come back to honor the second elder, and I hope that the second elder will take care of his body." ”
The old woman stepped forward, wiped away the tears from his face, and said gently, "Child, don't worry about us, go!" After speaking, she threw herself on the old man, and the tears had wet her wrinkled face.
The old man pulled Xiao Se up from the ground, and at this time Ling Feng stepped forward and said solemnly: "Second elder, don't worry, I, Ling Feng, will definitely regard Xiao Se as my own and teach him well!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction, this was the promise he wanted most, then smiled, patted Xiao Se and said, "Child, go quickly!"
Xiao Se said goodbye to the second elder and was about to turn around and leave, when the old woman caught up, grabbed Xiao Se's arm and said, "Child, there is something that should be brought to you, and I won't be able to meet your biological parents in the future." With that, he walked into the house quickly.
At the same time, these words shocked Mu Yunzong and his party, who were willing to let the children they had raised for many years find their biological parents, what a mind at this time.
Ling Feng nodded again and again in appreciation, it was really one side of the water and soil to support the other side.
When she was young, the old woman came out of the hut, holding an emerald green cloth in her hand, walked to Xiao Se and opened the cloth, a piece of jade pendant lay quietly in it, and the old woman carefully wiped it with the cloth, as if she was wiping away the vicissitudes of life on the jade pendant.
After she thought that it was clean, she reached out and put the jade pendant around Xiao Se's neck, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "My child is already handsome, and bringing this jade pendant adds a bit of luxury." ”
At this time, Ling Feng not far away was surprised, the jade pendant was full of true qi, and if you looked closely, it was two completely different true qi, one was deep and mellow, which was the characteristic of the righteous path, and the other was fierce and violent, but it was very similar to what the demon sect had learned, what surprised him the most was not this, but that these two true qi were not excluded in the jade pendant, and they depended on each other. Although surprised, Ling Feng did not say anything, but secretly felt in his heart that Xiao Se's biological parents were by no means ordinary.
Xiao Se lowered his head and looked at the jade pendant carefully, the whole body was emerald green, natural, and the words were engraved on both sides, one side was "Xiao" and the other side was "Se".
The old man patted Xiao Se on the shoulder and said, "Child, this time you know why you are named Xiao Se!"
Xiao Se paused, looked at the second elder, and said solemnly: "No matter whether the child can see his biological parents in the future, I will never forget the nurturing grace of my father." ”
"Good boy, don't say more, your master still has something to do, don't delay the hour. The old man glanced at Xiao Se deeply and urged.
Xiao Se looked at the second elder with reluctance in his eyes, imprinted these two old men who had raised him for fifteen years in his heart, and then resolutely turned his head and walked towards Xiaofeng Mountain with Ling Feng and the four of them.
Only two sad old men remained, helping each other into the house.
Along the way, Ling Shan'er kept saying some interesting things, which eased the sadness in Xiao Se's heart, and Ling Feng next to him looked at the two people who got along well, and a smile rose on his face After a while, several people stopped at the foot of the mountain behind Xiaofeng Mountain, Ling Feng paused, looked at Xiao Se and said, "Xiao Se, since I have accepted you as an apprentice, you need to worship now." ”
Xiao Se was stunned, and the third elder Huang Yi beside him said with a smile: "Silly boy, what are you doing in a daze! Don't kowtow quickly!"
Xiao Se hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed indiscriminately, causing Shan'er around him to laugh.
Ling Feng stepped forward to help him up and introduced him to Xiao Se, "This is Huang Yi, the third elder of the Muyun Sect, you should call it the third uncle, and this is the law enforcement elder of the Muyun Sect, Senior Uncle Qi Wenqi." ”
Xiao Se respectfully saluted the two of them, "I've seen the third uncle, the third uncle!"
At this time, a dissatisfied voice came from Xiao Se's side, "Grandpa, why did you forget me!" Then, Ling Shan'er came to Xiao Se and smiled mischievously, "Don't come and see Senior Sister yet." ”
Xiao Se looked at Ling Shan'er, who was a few years younger than herself, and held back for a long time, blushing and squeezing out the words, "Senior sister." ”
"Hahahaha!" The three next to him burst into laughter.
After laughing, Ling Feng said to Xiao Se: "Although Shan'er is my granddaughter, she has been practicing with me since she was a child, and it is normal to call her senior sister, and when we are done with our business, we will take you back to Muyun Sect and let them see my apprentice Ling Feng." ”
A gust of wind swept across everyone's cheeks, Ling Feng's expression became serious, and several people around him seemed to have a silent tacit understanding, and they all solemnized their faces, even Ling Shan'er, who was usually lively and jumpy, consciously calmed down, just opened a pair of eyes and secretly looked at Xiao Se.
Ling Feng looked at the back mountain of Xiaofeng Mountain, then looked at Xiao Se and asked, "Xiao Se, is there anything unusual about this back mountain of Xiaofeng Mountain recently?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Se couldn't wait to say: "Master, this back mountain has not been very peaceful recently, and you used to go in to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms, but since the disappearance of a few uncles who cut wood half a year ago, the people who walked into this back mountain have never come out, and the people in the village say that the goblins are doing strange things......
"Hmph!" Ling Feng snorted coldly, his face rose with anger, and said: "Sure enough, it was the demon fox who was doing it, thinking that after it was seriously injured by the senior brother in charge, not only did it not repent, but it actually hurt innocent people here, and it must not be spared this time." ”
Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Master is really a master, even what kind of goblin is doing something here, if he can really get rid of this demon for Xiaofeng Village, it will be great." ”
"Xiao Se!" Ling Feng interrupted his thoughts and said solemnly: "Since you have entered my Muyun Sect, I will tell you the reason for this, there is indeed a demon in the mountain behind this Xiaofeng Mountain, called 'Xuanhuo Heavenly Fox', this demon fox is a scourge on the world, and it will kill at every turn, causing misery in the misty peak." Half a year ago, Mu Yunzi, the head of my Muyun Sect, thought of the common people in the world, and beat the demon fox to a serious injury with his own strength, I wanted to capture it, and after thinking about it in a forbidden place, I spared its surname, but unfortunately the demon fox demon method was too weird, and it escaped. Senior Brother Mu Yunzi is profound, and the slightest trace of Xuantian innocence penetrates into the demon fox meridians, even if he is not dead, he only has half a life left. In the past six months, we have been searching for the traces of demon foxes, and some time ago we came to the town of Youyu at the foot of the mountain, and saw that the demon spirit of the mountain behind Xiaofeng Mountain was smoky, so we looked for it. Today, a battle is inevitable, and the demon fox is very high, so you and Shan'er must not get close. ”
Xiao Se looked at Ling Shan'er beside him and nodded heavily, Ling Shan'er was also surprisingly obedient, and responded obediently: "Got it." ”
Ling Feng turned around and glanced at Huang Yi and Qi Wen, and said, "This time, even if you fight for the cultivation of these two Jiazi, you will ambush that demon fox here!"
After speaking, the group continued to march towards the depths of the mountain behind Xiaofeng Mountain.
Gradually, as they went deeper and deeper, the tattered fur and bones of some beasts appeared in front of several people's eyes one after another, most of them were deer and wolves.
After walking more than three miles into the back mountain, after a turn, a natural cave appeared a hundred zhang away, the demonic aura was extremely heavy, and the fishy smell almost made Xiao Se dare not breathe.
Ling Feng stopped, looked at Ling Shan'er and Xiao Se, stretched out his hand and pointed to a big rock nearby, and said, "You two will hide behind here, don't come out no matter what happens!"
Xiao Se knew the danger ahead, and opened his mouth to say, "Master, you have to be careful!"
"Hmm!" Ling Feng patted Xiao Se on the shoulder, nodded, and then turned around and shot towards the cave with Qi Wen and Huang Yi.
Looking around, there were a few rusty firewood knives, a medicine hoe and a few back baskets, all of which seemed to be left behind by the dead and injured villagers of Xiaofeng Village.
Ling Feng was furious, and scolded angrily towards the entrance of the cave: "Demon fox, don't come out and die!"
The cave then came, "Who should I be, it turned out to be you, this old guy!", as the words fell, a person walked out of the hole, and looked at it, it was a beautiful girl, a smile and a charming to the extreme, a purple dress is not stained with dust, which looks like a demon fox, but like a beauty in the city.
