Feng Yu walked against the wind without any delay. Now that he has cultivated the seven paths of Tao Qi, he is faster than before, so he leaves the desert before the night completely falls.
And with Feng Yu's departure, the rather turbulent desert returned to silence again.
The green mountains in the distance have a slightly steep outline, and the slightly dim flowing clouds are like an elegant outline in the ink-stained pale yellow sunset, glowing with a heart-stopping splendor in the intoxicating sky.
Such beautiful scenery was reflected in Feng Yu's pupils, and the fatigue that was not visible in his brows was dissipated a lot. The corners of his mouth finally raised slightly, and he said with a slight smile: "A two-day trip in the desert is nothing compared to I have been practicing on Qingshan Mountain for several days. Now that I am back, I can take a rest. I wonder how Ah Qing and Uncle Niu are doing..."
For him, perhaps only when facing Ah Qing and Uncle Niu could he truly let go of the burden in his heart. He also knows that these two people have no blood relationship with him. He has understood this since he was adopted by Uncle Niu when he was young. And he knew nothing about the identity of his real biological parents. But even so, he had already regarded Uncle Niu and Ah Qing as real relatives, whether it was the former's upbringing or the latter's companionship.
Now, under the guidance of Uncle Niu, he has embarked on the path of spiritual practice. Even though the reason why he agreed to practice in the first place was just to hunt more wild beasts in the back mountains and deserts, so that Ah Qing and Uncle Niu could survive better. Later, when he thought of Uncle Niu's irritated attitude of blowing his beard and staring every time he mentioned this matter, he would smile sheepishly, even though the smile was full of cunning and fun.
In the early days of their cultivation, he and Ah Qing had used a lot of resources from the bodies of beasts, but fortunately they did not waste these resources in vain. As their physical fitness improved, their sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also increased day by day. , and successfully sensed Tao Qi one after another, and officially entered the first realm of cultivation.
During this period, Feng Yu was also very aware of Uncle Niu's efforts for this purpose. The quality of those resources is not low, and the beasts they come from are also unusually kind. When Uncle Niu dealt with them, he didn't know how much he paid at a price they didn't know. But every time Feng Yu asked, He was carried away in one easy stroke and never said a word.
"Uncle Niu, thank you for your hard work. You will no longer have to hunt wild beasts alone in the future, because Mr. Yu... uh no! I will soon enter the second realm of Yuxuan, and I will be able to share the burden for you then. Already..."
Feng Yu whispered, with a rare softness in his eyes.
And just as he was thinking like this, the scene of green mountains and white mist in front of him became clearer and clearer. At the same time, the infinite darkness was unknowingly shrouded again.
…………
"You guys, please go home early tonight and be sure not to expose any flaws."
On the dark mountain top, a deep old voice suddenly sounded.
In the place penetrated by darkness, a figure wearing a black robe could be seen standing stooped. Due to the double darkness, it was impossible to see his face clearly.
Not far away from the black-robed figure, there were dozens of figures standing in the darkness, including various numbers of men, women, old and young. But at this time, their faces were full of confusion and helplessness like puppets. Even the look in their eyes was completely empty, and their expressions were even more terrifyingly stiff.
After a while, they suddenly twisted their bodies in an extremely weird posture, stared at the man in black robes with their gray eyes, and uttered an unpleasant sound like sandpaper: "Yes..."
…………
The dark night did not affect Feng Yu's speed at all. He looked at the rock cabin in front of him and eagerly opened the door.
Just as Feng Yu was about to step in, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Brother Yu, you are finally back!"
Ah Qing in the room looked at Feng Yu, whom he hadn't seen for two days, and couldn't help but feel a hint of joy from the bottom of his heart on his cheeks.
Feng Yu also stepped forward, with the dusty look on his face slightly gone, and he hugged Ah Qing with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Brother Yu, your breath..."
Ah Qing felt the surging aura in Feng Yu's body and couldn't help but exclaimed.
When Feng Yu saw this, he no longer concealed it. With a thought, seven rays of Tao Qi flashing with dazzling white light flashed out of his body at the same time, jumping and rising around him, which was very mysterious.
The sudden appearance of a powerful aura caused Ah Qing's clothes to flutter, and his steps stomped back. The shock in his eyes showed almost instantly.
"This is the Seven Paths of Dao Qi!?"
Ah Qing covered her lips with her small hands, disbelief lingering on her face.
Seeing this, Feng Yu touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and then took it back into his body. Just as he was about to answer, he frowned, and then asked doubtfully: "Where is Uncle Niu? I didn't see him when I first entered the door."
Ah Qing was startled for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and the exclamation on his face gradually dissipated, and he said without thinking, "I said he was cutting firewood in the back mountain."
"Chopping wood?"
Hearing this, Feng Yu suddenly became more confused. It would be no exaggeration to say that wild beasts are rampant in the hills behind the town at night. Even if you are strolling through the streets of the town as usual, there is a lot of gloomy atmosphere, which makes people feel frightened. And Uncle Niu went out to chop wood at this time?
Thinking like this, Feng Yu also felt uneasy and wanted to rush to the back mountain to investigate.
"Ahem, no need to look for it, I'm back."
Feng Yu paused in his steps and suddenly looked in the direction of the door, only to see a familiar figure standing there before he knew it. It was Uncle Niu.
Seeing Uncle Niu appear, the uneasiness in Feng Yu's eyebrows also dissipated, but the doubt in his eyes did not weaken at all.
"Uncle Niu, it's so late, so there's no need to chop wood..."
Feng Yu looked at Uncle Niu who was carrying bundles of firewood and couldn't help but say.
"Hey, you kid, you are not very capable, but you can teach me how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip to the desert."
Uncle Niu glanced sideways at Feng Yu, but anyone could tell that there was a hint of relief in those words.
Ah Qing could feel the extraordinary aura in Feng Yu's body before, and most of it could be attributed to the unstable Tao Qi fluctuations when he first came back. After a brief rest, his Tao Qi fluctuations became silent again, so even if Uncle Niu didn't sense it, Feng Yu wasn't surprised.
Feng Yu looked at Uncle Niu's unknown appearance and felt a little gloating. This time, it will definitely surprise him!
"Hmph, in just two days, two more Dao Qi have been added, can you believe it?"
Feng Yu raised his head slightly, his nostrils pointing upward, his eyes arrogant, looking domineering.
Uncle Niu's figure suddenly stagnated, and then he seemed to sigh, shook his head, and said: "It is indeed good, but it is a pity that your talent has not been recognized by the outside world."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Feng Yugang was about to "criticize" Uncle Niu's indifferent attitude, but he was immediately attracted by the last sentence and couldn't help but ask.
Uncle Niu glanced at Ah Qing, who also scratched his head, and then said quietly: "You must still have an impression of Shu Yuan who came here a few days ago. During the days of your cultivation, he also came here again. After seeing Ah Qing's talent that was even better than yours, I immediately felt a sense of appreciation for his talent, and proposed to me the idea of taking him away from the town. In the past few days, the five major families in the outside world were also holding that event. The so-called fundraising meeting, so I wanted Ah Qing to give it a try. If he succeeds, his future will be limitless."
"Five major families? Fundraising meeting?"
Feng Yu frowned. He had not left Qingshan Town for so many years and knew nothing about the situation in the outside world, so he was keenly aware of the problem.
Ah Qing also came over. He also didn't know anything about the so-called five aristocratic families.
There was a trace of sadness in Uncle Niu's eyes, and then he said: "Sooner or later, you have to know about the outside world, so I will let you know the details today. Our Qingshan Town is located in a corner, but it is the Yangguan Domain that belongs directly to the outside world. The Yangguan Domain is vast. , there are as many large and small forces as stars, and there are countless strong ones, and the most famous ones are the five great families."
Uncle Niu paused, and then continued: "Among the five major families, the Linchuan family is the most powerful, followed by the Donghuang family, then the Shuli family, the Juekong family, and the most mysterious Tanmo family, and so on. . However, despite this apparent ranking, there is not much difference in power between them. Moreover, because they have many conflicts in private and restrict each other, there has never been a situation where any power has become stronger. But this also invisibly prevented the Deyangguan Territory from forming a unified situation, which made the overall cohesion of the Yangguan Territory weak and its strength ranked last in the entire far west.
"The land in the far west that I refer to is relative to the entire East Continent. Yes, although Yangguan Domain is large, it is only an inconspicuous and small place in East Continent. Dongzhou, the full name is Dongsheng Xuanzhou , together with Xihe Tianzhou, Nanyuan Beast Continent and Beijiang Yazhou, are collectively called the four continents. The four continents are all vast and boundless, and the powerful people, resources, and secrets they possess are even greater than you can imagine."
Looking at Feng Yu and Ah Qing's entranced expressions, Uncle Niu also sighed: "For me, my whole life is a restricted area that I cannot step out of. With you, there may be infinite possibilities. And the premise of all this is, It all depends on your strength."
When the two heard this, they nodded slightly. For them, living in Qingshan Town since they were young, facing things that are deeply imprinted in their minds every day is quite boring. As for the familiar people in the town, they have not changed much in the past ten years. They can identify everyone with incomparable accuracy a few years ago.
Hearing Uncle Niu say this, they looked forward to the so-called outside world even more. The two looked at each other, understanding each other's thoughts, and immediately smiled at each other.
