In Pingyun Mountain in East Vietnam, there is an isolated village called Ping'an Village.
This Pingyun Mountain has very thin spiritual energy and is not suitable for cultivation at all. Moreover, within a thousand miles radius, there is not even a single cultivator clan, city, or sect.
Some are just a few mortal towns.
On weekdays, not even a single monk can be seen. In a lower-level cultivation country like the Yue Kingdom, it is extremely difficult to have a mortal paradise.
More than a year ago, a young man in black came to Ping'an Village and stayed here.
More than a year later, the young man named Ning Gu has grown into a young man and lives an ordinary life here.
Work when the sun rises and rest when the sun sets. He hunts for a living, and his hunting skills are unmatched by some hunters who have been making a living for generations in Ping'an Village. Once upon a time, a tiger spirit accidentally entered Ping'an Village. The tiger spirit got some chance and developed a trace of demonic aura. It was extremely powerful and showed its ferocious nature. It often entered the village during the day, ate pigs and cows alive, and even bit and killed the villagers. Several hunters from the village went to hunt this tiger, but they all died tragically. Many villagers who have lived here for generations have even begun to wonder whether to leave the village.
At this moment, the lawless tiger spirit was shot to death by an arrow from the ordinary Ning Gu.
The tiger spirit has thick skin and has demon power to protect its body. Mortal bows and arrows are even more crude, how can they hurt it? But Ning Gu shot the tiger to death with an arrow from his forehead, piercing the bone to the tail... The power of this bow was too terrifying!
The villagers were saved, and Ning Gu's reputation was resounding in the small village, and even attracted the village chief's daughter to secretly fall in love with him.
It's a pity that Ning Gu doesn't like hunting. He only hunts to obtain necessary food. He doesn't like to see blood, doesn't like killing, and seems to have a shadow. What he loved most was growing camellias, one by one, blooming under the bamboo fence, taking root and sprouting, carrying his thoughts with them.
This year, he still couldn't remember Ning Fan... His thoughts were only placed in the camellia.
In the yard, he looked at the camellia plants swaying in the wind, and his cold eyes gradually softened.
Camellia is called sea pomegranate by the mountain people. The camellia grown by Ning Gu has a moving spirit. The enthusiastic mountain people help Ning Gu sell the excess camellia to the big city outside the mountain. Gradually, Ning Gu grows and sells flowers. With the money income, there is finally no need to hunt.
It would be best not to kill...
The autumn wind was blowing, and Ning Gu's black clothes were a little shabby, and from outside the fence, a girl's voice with a local accent came softly,
"Ning Gu, it's getting cold. Dad asked me to bring this wolf fur for you to wear!"
Outside the fence, a simple girl dressed as a mountain man pushed open the firewood door, holding a thick silver wolf fur in her hand.
This fur robe has pure wolf hair without a trace of stray hairs. Even if it is sold to a big city, it can be sold for a lot of money. But this girl gave it to Ning Gu in the name of her father.
This woman is the daughter of the village chief, named An Ran. Her appearance is not absolutely beautiful, but she is simple and clean. After seeing her, it is difficult to forget her appearance.
This girl has liked Ning Gu for a long, long time...
This wolf fur was something she ventured into the mountains, hunted, and made into clothing stitch by stitch.
This wolf fur is also a homophonic pronunciation, and it contains a trace of the girl's ignorance... Wolf fur, the man is begging for, all kinds of clothes, just asking for the husband's glance, the husband will know...
"Why are you here again?"
Ning Gu frowned slightly. His cultivation level did not dare to move, but the cultivation level of the tenth level of Pimai still existed after all. He could not be afraid of the cold weather and freezing ground like ordinary people.
He doesn't need this wolf fur!
"Humph, you are so young and have such a big temper. I made clothes for you out of kindness..." The girl seemed aggrieved.
"I don't need your kindness!" Ning Gu had a stubborn temper.
"You, you, you! Aren't you just better at shooting... I want to compete with you!" The woman ignored it and put the wolf fur on the wooden table in the courtyard, and took off the carved bow from behind.
"You can't compare to me!" Ning Guyi lost his temper and took off the long bow from the wall.
As a result, the mountain people passing by outside the fence started laughing and shouting.
"Oh, Ning Gu is quarreling with An Ran again... Their relationship is so good!"
"But An Ran will definitely cry in anger again later... Her shooting skills are always inferior to Ning Gu."
The scenes of gossip among the mountain people did not disturb Ning Gu's thoughts at all, but made the girl secretly embarrassed, but in her heart, she was sweet.
In the courtyard, there is a rock with many holes on it.
The girl bent her bow and nocked an arrow, and hit the tip of the bluestone with an arrow, which was more than half an inch into the stone.
This woman's shooting skills are constantly accurate, and her strength seems to be strong.
But before she could be proud, Ning Gu nonchalantly took an arrow and split the girl's arrow in half with one arrow. Without losing any momentum, the whole arrow sank into the stone edge!
Outside the fence, there was a sound of applause, and the girl left in tears.
"Ning Gu, you bully and bully others! I will never get along with you again!"
Ning Gu, on the other hand, calmly put away his bow and arrows, as if he were a piece of wood, and did not chase the girl.
...
On the top of Pingyun Mountain, among the clouds and mist, a young man wearing white clothes and a black cloak stood in the clouds and wind. With his mind gone, he knew everything about Ping An Village.
Ning Gu is living a good life, and his complexion seems to have recovered very well due to more than a year of cultivation.
What makes Ning Fan most happy is that this silly boy actually has a woman admiring him.
But the only thing that Ning Fan cares about is that Ning Gu, who is like a lump on an elm tree, not only can't coax girls, but on the contrary, everything he says and does makes girls disgusted... But that girl, up to now, has not yet... It's so rare to dislike Ning Gu...
"An Ran, this name is very good, better than Ning Gu... You need An Ran's life. This is the life you yearn for. Cultivation Blood Shadow is not suitable for you..."
Ning Fan's eyes showed an inexplicable color, and with a flash of light, he disappeared on the top of the mountain.
...
At the village chief's house, An Ran cried all the way home. When he got home, he was still scolded by his father.
"Stinky girl, I've just given you a wolf fur, so I'm giving it away like this. Do you know how much money this wolf fur could fetch if sold to Pingcheng?! A woman's heart is outward, she's really... I'm really pissed off! I'll give it to you later. I want the wolf fur back!"
"Just give it away, I hunted it anyway! You can't control it!" An Ran twisted and retorted.
His father is the village chief. The villagers are usually polite to him. No one dares to talk back to him. Even An Ran does not dare to contradict his father.
Perhaps he was in a hurry today and said the wrong thing, and immediately his father became furious.
He usually has a fierce temper, but when he is in a hurry, he slaps the girl.
As soon as he made the move, the village chief immediately regretted it. With all his strength, he was afraid that he could fight tigers and bears with his strength. If he slapped his daughter on the face, he was afraid that her petite body would not be able to bear it.
But when the palm is released, the force is achieved, and it is not easy to take it back in the middle way.
But at this moment, a breeze blew by, which was enough to repel the tiger and leopard. However, the breeze blocked it slightly, and the palm force was gone.
At the same time, an indifferent voice sounded outside the house, and immediately, a young man in white clothes and a black cloak entered the door.
This young man was thin and pale, and he was obviously deficient in vitality and blood. But when he met his gaze, the village chief, a seven-foot tall man, immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
He has hunted countless tigers and leopards throughout his life, and has seen the cold glare in the eyes of countless beasts, but he has never seen the eyes of any beast more terrifying than the young man in front of him!
Under this gaze, he trembled all over and couldn't control himself.
If this young man were a mortal, he would definitely be a master of one against a hundred. And if he is an immortal, he must be...a demon who kills mountains of people!
The village chief couldn't see clearly the reality of the young man, but with one look, he understood that this young man must not be provoked, never!
This is the intuition he has cultivated through countless trials of life and death!
This feeling only arose in the heart of the village chief, but it did not bother the girl in the slightest.
The girl didn't realize it and secretly opened her eyes. She was surprised to find that her father didn't hit her. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned her eyes to the young man at the door, feeling strange.
Who is this young man and why did he enter his home directly? Doesn't this young man know that her father hates rude people and dislikes villagers entering his home without saying hello?
With a slight smile, the young man withdrew his pressure, and something that surprised the girl happened immediately.
Not only did his father not blame the young man for being rude, on the contrary, for the first time in his life, his face turned cold, he forced out a somewhat ugly smile, and said with a smile.
"This gentleman came to our village to rest?"
The girl could see the respectful attitude of the village chief, and she was extremely surprised. Could it be that this inconspicuous young man in front of her was actually a big shot? How could he make his father, who had only a little experience of the world, be so afraid?
But the girl looked left and right, but she couldn't tell what was different about the young man in front of her. He seemed to be extremely weak and not as strong as herself...
"Village Chief, there is no need to be polite... I heard every word of your lecture to Ling Ai just now... I am Ning Gu's brother. Since the wolf fur was given to my brother, there is no way I can get it back. And I, There is no money to pay for the wolf fur..."
The young man spoke with a smile, but when the smile fell in the eyes of the village chief, he became even more sweaty and his smile became even bigger.
Good guy, it turns out that this young man is Ning Gu's elder brother. It seems that he is several times more powerful than Ning Gu.
Ning Gu can kill a tiger spirit with one arrow, which is extremely impressive. It's good that Ning Gu's brother is an even more powerful ruthless person...
Moreover, there was a bloody smell on the young man's body, which made the village chief complain secretly.
There is no doubt that this young man is really a murderous demon... No matter whether he is an immortal or a mortal, he cannot afford to offend him.
Wolf fur... If he had known that Ning Gu had such a ruthless brother, the village chief would never have blamed his daughter, let alone have the slightest intention of getting the wolf fur back.
As for the young man who stopped him when he taught his daughter a lesson...the village chief did not dare to blame the young man for meddling in his own business.
As the village chief, he finally knows how to be diplomatic. With the simple villagers, you can dominate and dominate, but if you dare to say a harsh word to the young man in front of you, you will be in endless trouble!
"Haha, it turns out that the little brother is Ning Gu's elder brother, okay, okay..." The village chief smiled, but even he himself didn't understand the meaning and benefit of cheering him.
On the contrary, it was the girl whose bright eyes flashed, and the look she looked at the young man suddenly softened.
It turns out that this person is Ning Gu's brother. Ning Gu is a stinky idiot who doesn't give a good look no matter how he tries to please him. His brother is quite easy-going...
Since he is brother Ning Gu, he naturally has to be polite.
"Brother Ning, do you want to take a rest in the humble house? I'll boil water for you to make tea..."
The girl's enthusiasm made the village chief feel miserable.
What is in front of me is an evil star. Please don’t leave me, but you still want to keep him!
Stupid daughter, stupid daughter, stupid daughter!
Seemingly sensing the village chief's fear, the young man smiled slightly, shook his head, and rejected the girl's kindness.
"No need to bother, I'm not thirsty...my daughter, is her name An Ran?" The young man's eyes flashed, as if he had made a decision.
"Yes, this name was given to her by her mother, who is uneducated, poorly named, and..." the village chief said with a bitter smile.
"No, this name is very good."
"Yes, this name looks bad, but it's actually very good, very good..." The village chief himself didn't know what he was talking about. In short, everything the young man said was right.
"An Ran, Ning Gu, they match each other very well, don't they..." The young man seemed to be saying to himself.
When the village chief heard this, he was stunned like a thunderbolt.
It's over. Is this young devil here to propose marriage? Or are you going to directly steal your daughter and make her his brother's wife? !
not good! Wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for my daughter to become the wife of a demon brother?
Although he is snobbish, pompous and stingy, he really cares about his daughter and is unwilling to push her into a pit of fire.
However, he couldn't muster the courage to say no in front of the young man.
At this moment, the girl put down the firewood and entered the house, her bright eyes twinkling.
"Brother Ning, do you really think Ning Gu and I are worthy of each other?" She naturally heard the hidden meaning in the young man's words.
"Well, it's a good match. If you were asked to be Ning Gu's wife, would you be willing to..." the young man smiled.
"I do!" the girl said happily, but immediately sighed, "But he doesn't want to..."
"No, Ning Gu actually likes you too... From what I know about him, if he doesn't like something, he won't even look at it. He just doesn't know how to make you happy. He hasn't been able to speak since he was a child. , I can’t please people, I always make trouble...” Memories flashed in the young man’s eyes.
Then, he patted the storage bag and took out a crystal hairpin and an emerald elixir bottle.
The village chief had never seen the storage bag before. When he saw the young man taking out two items like magic, his face was immediately filled with horror!
This young man is truly an immortal! Who can conjure a treasure for no reason other than a fairy!
The crystal hairpin was crystal clear. The village chief had never seen such precious jewelry in his life.
And the elixir bottle wafted out a hint of fragrance. When the village chief smelled it, he immediately became energetic. Unexpectedly, it contained elixir! Even just the jade bottle containing the elixir could be sold for thousands of taels of silver in the mortal world!
Baby, everything is baby!
"This hosta is given to you. If you wear it, you will be safe and sound for the rest of your life. This elixir is called 'Fulu Dan'. If a mortal takes one, he can extend his life for ten years and be free from illness and disaster... Give it to You, you can take it to whomever you like... You don’t have to worry about someone taking these treasures away, anyone who dares to take them will definitely die!"
The young man's eyes flashed, his sword energy moved, and several sword thoughts flashed into the crystal hairpin.
"These gifts are in return for your love for Ning Gu... I will be away for a while, and I will help you take good care of Ning Gu..."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of him...even if he doesn't like me..." the girl said with determination.
"That's it, that's good." The young man smiled slightly, as if he was extremely satisfied with the girl's answer, and looked out of the house with something as if he felt something.
Then he smiled inexplicably at the girl, "Look, he's here, he really cares about you."
Immediately, a black light flashed around the young man's body, and the energy of heaven and earth swayed, and he disappeared out of thin air in front of the two of them!
The girl was finally stunned. Is the eldest brother who loves Ning Gu not a mortal, but a god?
As for his father, after the young man left, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Tired, so tired! Just by staying in front of that young man, the village chief felt as if half of his life was gone.
Recalling the treasure given by the young man, the village chief's eyes suddenly brightened.
He didn't understand the crystal hairpin, but the elixir might be what the young man said. Taking one pill can increase your life span by ten years!
Lifespan is the most important thing for mortals! Even the emperor on earth cannot escape death!
A pill can increase your life by ten years. This is a priceless treasure!
But after receiving these gifts, the village chief sighed in his heart. This gift is too valuable. It is enough as a return gift from Lang Qiu, and even as a betrothal gift for Ning Gu to An Ran!
The young man gave the gift without giving the village chief any room to refuse, even though the village chief himself didn't want to refuse...
It seems that he can no longer interfere with the matter between Ning Gu and An Ran... Let his daughter deal with it...
...
The girl was holding a crystal hairpin and an elixir bottle in her hands, and was stunned. Ning Gu's familiar voice came from outside the door, still indifferent, but with a hint of concern.
Huo Di pushed the door open and broke into the house. Ning Gu didn't even look at the village chief. His cold eyes relaxed slightly when he saw that An Ran was safe and sound.
"Are you okay?" He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Pfft... What can happen to me? Are you caring about me?" An Ran burst out laughing, feeling sweet in her heart, while Ning Gu's face suddenly darkened and he almost walked away with a puff of sleeves.
He didn't like to see the girl looking proud, but he didn't want to see the girl get into trouble...
The monk's aura just now was too overbearing. What was going on...
He was about to leave, but his eyes fell on the hosta and the pill bottle in An Ran's arms.
That jade hosta turned out to be a top-grade magic weapon, and it contained several extremely powerful divine thoughts. Each of them seemed to be able to easily kill the old monster of the golden elixir!
And the elixir fragrance coming out of that elixir bottle is stronger than the second-level elixir...the third-level elixir! Even the peak quality of the third level!
What concerned Ning Gu the most was the familiar aura on the hairpin and elixir bottle.
"This is, this is..." This breath felt so familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it at all. It only stirred up huge waves in his heart.
"Your eldest brother gave this to me..." The girl turned pale when she saw Ning Gu for the first time, and even more proudly showed off the baby in her arms.
"Show me?!" Ning Gu said anxiously.
"No, unless you catch me!" The girl winked slyly and slipped out of the house, while Ning Gu, with all his wits, chased after her.
"If you don't show it to me, if I catch you, I will naturally see it!"
Boys and girls chased each other in the mountain village.
And this scene, in the eyes of the old people, turned into knowing smiles.
"Ning Gu is like a hedgehog in the mountains. His thorns are just a way to protect himself... His heart still likes plainness, camellias, and safety... But these little guys, today Isn’t it too noisy?”
