night.
The fire was lit and crackling.
"What's your name?" Lin Changfeng asked vaguely while chewing meat.
"I don't have a name yet." The boy shook his head.
The mountain wind blows.
The firelight cast a swaying shadow behind him, adding to his loneliness.
Lin Changfeng's eyes flashed and he raised his head and took a big sip of wine.
——Only about three years old, he probably has some nicknames, but no official name.
Only when he was five years old, his family took him to the Immortal Sect, and after being seen by the Immortal Sect disciples, he would be given a corresponding name based on his talent.
This little guy's relatives are all dead, so it's not certain whether he will get a name in the future.
Thinking of this, Lin Changfeng handed over a piece of steak.
"Eat it, it's delicious," he said.
The child shook his head and said, "I'm already full, but how come the water in your gourd can gather the power of many spiritual beings?"
"This is called wine—spiritual wine. I brewed it myself."
Lin Changfeng handed the gourd over and let the children smell it.
The child praised: "It's really good. Can I have a sip?"
"Of course not, you are too young to bear the aura in this wine." Lin Changfeng said hurriedly.
He took the wine gourd back and asked, "What's your nickname?"
"I'm thinking about it too, but I can't figure it out," the child said.
"Shall I think of one for you?"
"Tell me something and listen."
"How about the dog-left-over?"
"no."
"Goudan?"
"No, can you change it to another animal?"
"You look down on dogs?"
"That's not true. It just damages the dignity and is not conducive to future actions."
"Ha, at such a young age, you already want to be an immortal?" Lin Changfeng joked.
Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew.
Lin Changfeng's expression changed, he waved his hand to put out the fire, and shouted: "Stay here and don't move, I'll go check on the situation."
Before he finished speaking, the person had disappeared from the place.
The child sat in the dark, thought for a moment, and then took out the rattle.
——When he arrived in the primitive world, he entered the body of a three-year-old child with such a toy hidden in his arms.
Although it is just a toy, it can exert some power for myself.
That village...
Who was responsible for killing everyone?
The child slowly stood up, holding a rattle, and walked into the darkness.
Time passes slowly.
The breeze floats.
I saw Lin Changfeng descending quietly and calling in a low voice: "We are leaving, little guy."
He paused and suddenly said urgently: "Little guy? Where have you been hiding?"
The next moment.
Four men in black robes came out of the darkness and surrounded him.
The leader looked at him and said: "The Tiger of Cangnan, Lin Changfeng..."
Lin Changfeng puffed up his chest and said with a nonchalant expression: "It's me, who are you?"
The four of them looked at each other.
The leader said: "You have a good reputation, and some of the things you have done recently are really eye-catching. I heard that you have attracted the attention of the Taoist sect. I think it won't be long before you have the opportunity to receive an invitation to practice."
Lin Changfeng was startled and murmured: "Why didn't I know?"
The man smiled and said: "How can a small casual cultivator like you be able to inquire into the affairs of the saints' disciples?"
Lin Changfeng said: "Since you have heard of my name and know that I will enter the Immortal Sect to practice, what are you doing here? Asking for reward?"
The man shook his head and said: "I didn't want to trouble you, but we checked the population of the last village and found that one person was missing from the body."
"Are you massacring the village?" Lin Changfeng's voice turned gloomy.
The man sneered: "Don't pretend to be confused. We have always done this kind of thing - we checked some traces and found that it was a child, and he should have escaped with you."
Lin Changfeng shook his head and said, "I haven't seen any children."
He suddenly drew out the two swords from his waist and slashed behind him without looking back.
I saw the light of thousands of swords lighting up in the gloomy darkness, colliding with an ax and a sword.
The sound of continuous fighting echoed in my ears continuously.
Suddenly, the swords and axes were swung away. The two men couldn't resist, and they took dozens of steps back to stabilize their bodies.
A deep ravine appeared on the ground.
Lin Changfeng's body was slightly bent, holding the long knife tightly with both hands, and a murderous intention emerged from his body.
"Good sword skills!"
The leader of the group praised.
"Having killed countless people, he is naturally good at swordsmanship." Lin Changfeng said happily.
The leader thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. You just point us in one direction, and we will retreat immediately, even if we have never seen you."
"really?"
"really."
Lin Changfeng pondered for a moment, held the knife and pointed in one direction.
The man clasped his fists and said, "See you later."
He turned around and left with the other three people.
Lin Changfeng stood there and waited quietly for a while.
"brat?"
he whispered.
There was a slight drumming sound from the towering trees overhead.
Lin Changfeng suddenly said: "It turns out you are smart here."
He flew up to the branch and looked at the child.
In the darkness, a child stared at him with bright eyes and said, "Why are you lying?"
Lin Changfeng said: "If I don't lie to them, you will die."
"Who are they?" asked the child.
"They are all killers," Lin Changfeng showed contempt. "They massacred nearby villages and killed countless old, weak, women and children. They are not considered human beings at all."
"Killer, why do you want to kill defenseless ordinary people?"
"As long as you give them money, they will do anything."
"Life should be more important than reward - didn't it say that the innate saint would come near Mount Buzhou? How dare they kill so many people?" the child asked again.
This question stopped Lin Changfeng.
"Yes... this is at the foot of Buzhou Mountain. The saints have also announced to all directions that the innate saint will come." Lin Changfeng murmured.
The child opened his clear eyes and said calmly: "Since the saints want to welcome the innate saint, why do they let these killers massacre one village after another? Ordinarily, as long as they take action, they will be able to stop it all."
Lin Changfeng was stunned.
He suddenly shuddered.
Even though he had always been careless, he finally understood something at this time.
The water on this matter is too deep.
——It is definitely not something that a casual cultivator like him can get involved with.
Lin Changfeng looked solemn and jumped down from the tree with the child in his arms.
"Let's go - we have to go quickly, otherwise it will be very troublesome for them to turn around and catch up."
He chose the opposite direction to the killers and flew away with all his strength.
Time passes slowly.
The sky is turning white, and the morning light is getting brighter.
Lin Changfeng took the children to a ferry.
There happened to be a boat crossing the river at the ferry, but there was no one inside.
"Huh-huh-as long as we cross this river, we will be out of the area surrounded by iron mountains. We should not encounter those killers again." Lin Changfeng gasped.
River?
The child looked up into the distance and found that he could not see the other side of the river.
This river is like an ocean, with waves like tides, rolling and flowing endlessly.
Standing at the water's edge and looking down, I could see the current flowing rapidly, and an unknown huge body appearing and disappearing in the depths of the water.
Xu Shi saw his expression, and Lin Changfeng said: "This river is about 80,000 miles wide, with thousands of aquatic species, Dragon Palace and Yaochi, countless rare treasures, and water saints guarding it. Ordinary people are not allowed to fly across it, and they need to cross it by ferry. , don’t exceed the etiquette.”
"Those are the water tribe?" the child asked, pointing to the giant creatures in the river.
"It's the water tribe, don't mess with them - don't worry, they won't mess with the ferry, there are rules." Lin Changfeng said.
He took out an extremely transparent jade coin from his pocket, counted eight coins and handed them to the boatman.
The boatman counted the money carefully and motioned for the two of them to board the boat.
Lin Changfeng lifted the child, put it on his shoulders, and got on the boat together.
A moment.
The ship sailed.
The ferry gradually left the shore and drifted towards the rapids of the river.
Only then did Lin Changfeng let out a long sigh of relief and slumped down in his seat.
The child sat quietly beside him, looking back towards the water bank, all the way to the towering Cangshan Mountain that touched the sky.
——Buzhou Mountain.
Lin Changfeng thought he was sad and said:
"Don't look at it. When you grow up, in twenty or thirty years, you can come back to pay homage to your family."
The child said in a daze: "I was actually thinking that I really need a name so that you can call me."
"Oh? Do you want to name yourself?" Lin Changfeng asked with interest.
"It's a waste of energy to come up with a name. I happened to be looking at this Buzhou Mountain - I'll just call it Gu Qingshan."
Lin Changfeng smiled and shook his head: "Little guy, only immortals are qualified to give people names. You are too ridiculous."
Suddenly a voice sounded from the other end of the boat:
"Yes, naming yourself after Buzhou Mountain is too presumptuous. Children like this should die early."
Lin Changfeng's expression changed.
I saw eight men in black standing across from the boat.
"meet again."
The leader cupped his fists.
——It is the killer leader who was deceived by Lin Changfeng before.
Lin Changfeng drew out his long knife and stood in front of the child.
He looked towards the stern of the boat and saw that the boatman had been split in half and was too dead to die.
The killer leader looked at Lin Changfeng quietly and said in confusion: "Lin Changfeng, ever since you deceived me, there is one thing I can't understand."
"——You have a great future, why would you save a child you don't know? Or even offend us for it?"
Lin Changfeng said: "If you bump into it, you have to take care of it."
"No one forces you to act like this." The killer leader said.
Lin Changfeng held two swords in his hands and said with a big smile: "As cultivators of our generation, if we see injustice but do nothing, what kind of practice are we doing?"
The killer leader slowly drew out his weapon and said in a slow voice: "Some trivial things are not worth paying too much for, not to mention that they will die."
"You think it's a small thing, but this small thing is my way, and this is what I cultivate." Lin Changfeng said in a deep voice.
All the killers drew their weapons.
"What a pity, go to hell!" The killer leader shook his head.
In an instant, the sky turned completely dark, and the entire ship was enveloped in violent wind and rain, as if it had entered a completely different world.
boom!
Thunder rang out.
In the heavy rain, eight killers turned into skeletons wearing armor and flew back and forth.
They alternately interspersed, sometimes disappearing into the rain, sometimes appearing from the void, gradually approaching Lin Changfeng.
Lin Changfeng opened his eyes wide and shouted: "The art of the world - no, Gu Qingshan, go and hide in the cabin!"
As soon as the words fell, three skeletons suddenly flew out of the void and slashed at Gu Qingshan with their swords in three directions.
Gu Qingshan remained motionless.
He stared blankly at the rattle in his hand, seeming to be muttering something in a low voice.
"shameless!"
Lin Changfeng shouted, unfolded his swords, and thousands of swords struck in all directions.
The three skeletons were immediately knocked out and disappeared into the heavy rain again.
The voice of the killer leader sounded from the depths of the rainstorm: "The talent is good, but after all, he is a wild kid. He doesn't know where his flaws are. How can he stop eight of me?"
The void moved.
The eight-headed skeleton surrounded Lin Changfeng in the middle and took action at the same time.
Lin Changfeng roared angrily and raised his two swords——
In an instant, the swords, lights, and shadows were layered upon each other, like mountains and seas, densely distributed everywhere, making rapid clashing sounds like a rain shower.
One breath has passed.
All visions disappear.
Lin Changfeng fell to his knees, his body covered with scars.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that I would die under the sword of a group of killers." He laughed self-deprecatingly.
The killer leader said: "You stubborn person, do you know that you could have become a member of my sect..."
Lin Changfeng's expression changed.
The leader of the killer also felt that he had made a mistake, raised the weapon in his hand and said: "I will chop off your head and let everything end here."
Lin Changfeng had only one breath left. Although he guessed many things at this time, he also knew that his life had come to an end.
He couldn't help but look in the direction of Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan's face turned pale, he slowly raised the rattle in his hand and shook it hard.
Boom——
Drums sound.
"Kill them." Gu Qingshan said.
Lin Changfeng's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he saw the eight killers frozen in place, motionless, as if restrained by something.
good chance!
Lin Changfeng inspired the last bit of strength in his body, and swung his swords with all his strength to emit a ray of white light.
Swish——
Eight heads rose into the sky, flew out and hit the deck, making a heavy "bang bang" sound.
Just a moment!
The outcome suddenly turned 180 degrees!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lin Changfeng vomited blood and laughed wildly.
But he saw Gu Qingshan trembling all over, moving over step by step, and said sadly: "I'm sorry, it took me a while to activate this technique, but I still haven't caught up."
Lin Changfeng opened his eyes and stared at the child in front of him.
"Innate Saint?" he asked.
"So." Gu Qingshan said.
Lin Changfeng grinned and said, "Let's discuss whether you can give me a better identity in the next life."
"You save me once. Your merits are enough to do this, but there is still more." Gu Qingshan said.
Lin Changfeng thought for a while and said, "Then do me one more favor."
"What?"
"Let me take care of the killers in the next life - lest they always kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"Merit can help a little bit, but more of it requires your own efforts." Gu Qingshan said.
"Okay, then it's settled?"
"deal."
Lin Changfeng nodded, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
He hung his head and died.
