"Master, why are you so disgusted with General Nanyun?" On the way to Nanzhou after leaving Dilin City, Li Huanzhen asked curiously about Fuyaozi and Nanyun Hao's past.
"Nan Yunhao was originally a casual cultivator in Yundu Mountain. Back then, when I traveled there, he was being chased by a Guishui Ice Bear in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, so I rescued him... and he wanted to Apprenticeship, I accept disciples based on fate..." Fuyaozi squinted his eyes and recalled, "What a boy! If you meet him in the future, you have to be more cautious. Nan Yunhao can be said to be a person with seven orifices and exquisite heart. , He clearly knew in advance that Emperor Xuanrong’s daughter would be in conflict with the Second Prince Xuanrong’s subordinates, and he used this to win me over. Alas, after joining the world, Nan Yunhao was fascinated by the power of joining the world. He tried his Taoist heart and remembered You’re such a good boy, no matter what happens in the future, you must keep your Taoist heart!”
"Disciple understands!"
. . . . . .
After a day's journey, Fuyaozi and Li Huanzhen gradually got closer and closer to Li Huanzhen's hometown village. As the saying goes, the feeling of being close to hometown is more timid. At this time, Li Huanzhen's mind was full of thoughts and familiar faces. circulating in my mind.
On the way to dawn in the early morning, the wilderness at the foot of the mountain was unusually silent. The closer to the village, the more deadly silence there was. Li Huanzhen's heart tightened.
Going further, you can occasionally smell the smell of charcoal mixed with earth. In the early morning, fog has gradually begun to rise in the wilderness. As the morning approaches, the white fog joins and stretches out, and you can see the faint appearance of a village in the fog ahead.
The master and apprentice fell down from the flying wine gourd. There was no sound of people in the village. In the small stream surrounding the village, there was a not wide stone bridge in front of it. Moving forward from the stone bridge, the scenery further ahead gradually became clearer, and what appeared in front of them was It's a piece of ruins.
No one alive.
Some houses ahead have collapsed. The road through the village was also blocked. The master and apprentice walked silently around the village. In the floating mist, ashes were scattered in the ruins of the nearby village. As they walked by, there were also decayed houses that collapsed. The village with dozens of families is now as dead as hell. Li Huanzhen came to the place where Yunping's family used to be. At this moment, only collapsed rubble and collapsed beams and columns were left. A large number of ruins stood out among the waist-deep thatch. The desolation, as long as a cold wind blows, a ghostly cry will immediately come from those crumbling houses!
"Ah..." Li Huanzhen collapsed on the ground with tears in his eyes, and kept mumbling, "Why is this happening, why is this happening!"
Fuyaozi also looked gloomy, stepped forward and patted Li Huanzhen on the shoulder.
A light rain began to fall in the sky, as if he was crying for it too. The tears on Li Huanzhen's face were mixed with the rain. The master and the apprentice just stood in the rain. .
After a long time, a figure holding an umbrella slowly walked up from the distance and asked with a slight hesitation: "Is this the boy from the Li family really a baby?"
Hearing this voice, Li Huanzhen raised his head and called out, "Grandpa Village Chief!"
He rushed over and grabbed the village chief's sleeve and asked: "What happened in the village? Where is Yunping, the village chief's grandfather!"
"Huan Zhen baby, that was the night not long after you left..." The village chief held Li Huanzhen's hand and recalled the horrific scene that night with lingering fear.
"On the third night after you left, a group of men in black robes came to our village. They were like death-seeking Yamas from the underworld. They killed people from a distance, and they could set fire to houses just by talking!"
"They are monks!" Li Huanzhen said through gritted teeth.
"After they killed the old and young in the village, they captured seven or eight young people. Yunping was among them. My wife and I managed to escape by hiding in the grain pile. My poor child, you Brother Da Qiao was... killed by them!" At this point, the village chief couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Grandpa Village Chief, do you know who they are from?"
The village chief shook his head, "They were dressed in black and didn't speak from the beginning to the end."
"Sure, where have you been all these years?" The village chief wiped away his tears, "None of you who entered Southern Wilderness will come back. I thought you were all in Southern Wilderness..."
"Grandpa Village Chief, Brother Erniu, and the bold ones died in the Southern Wilderness. Later, I met an immortal cultivator by chance and saved my life. Now I have learned the art of cultivating immortals. This is my master, Fuyaozi!" Li He actually introduced Fuyaozi to the village chief.
"Great Immortal Fuyaozi." The village chief saluted Fuyaozi.
Fuyaozi helped the village chief up, and with his playful character, he really couldn't say any more comforting words.
They paid homage to the dead villagers and bid farewell to the village chief.
Li Huanzhen and Fuyaozi's master and apprentice left the village silently. The place where he grew up has turned into the dust of history. Only the old village chief and his wife's rickety figures are left. A vague reminder that this was once a quiet and peaceful village.
"Master, although the world is big, I must find Yunping and avenge my fellow villagers!"
"Then you have to work hard to improve your cultivation. You can't do it with your current cultivation!"
"Then wait until I am as strong as you, Master!"
"There are many people in the world who are better than me. What you have to do is to keep improving!"
"Disciples, remember to stick to the Tao and keep improving!"
"I read you right, you are such a young man. Let's not rush back to Xuanji now. Let's go to Southern Wasteland!"
"Master, why are you going to Southern Wilderness!"
"I'll give you special training and throw you into the deep mountains and forests of the southern wilderness to compete with those monsters!"
"Master, why are you so cruel!"
'Snapped'
"Strict masters produce great disciples, do you understand? Let's go quickly!"
A year later, in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, a young man in blue robe was moving through the jungle using his energy. The young man in blue robe raised his leg and walked a short distance before he touched a nearby restriction and was blocked by a white light.
However, he did not panic. He raised a jade sign and looked forward. A green light suddenly shot out from the sign and flew into the restriction. Then he waited patiently.
"Come in!" A drunken voice came from inside, as if ringing in the ears of the blue-robed young man. Then all the restrictions in front of him disappeared like ice and snow melting.
Seeing this scene, the young man in blue robe hurriedly walked in.
Following the path in front of him, the young man in blue robe stopped in front of a courtyard with a plaque that read "Zui Xian Second Courtyard". The courtyard was very large, several acres in size. Before others entered the courtyard, a strong aroma of wine came out from inside, which cheered up the young man in blue robes who were worn by the world.
"Boy Lu, why are you standing outside? Come in quickly, I'm going to bed!" The young man in blue robe was startled, but he immediately obeyed and walked in.
Standing inside, the young man in blue robe could really see the situation in the courtyard clearly.
