My peak, Qianji Cave.
"Father, now that the boy from the Baima Hujiang family has been brought back, it has been seven or eight days. I wonder what the foster father plans to do with him?" asked a fat Taoist priest.
"Detain him in the cave first, don't touch him for the time being!" A middle-aged man in black robes with bone hairpins in his sparse hair sat cross-legged in the cave, with his back to the fat Taoist priest and said.
"My adoptive father had the good idea to hide the boy in this Thousand Machine Cave. Even the Supreme Elder would not be able to find him! After this period of time, the wind has calmed down, and naturally we have the final say in everything!"
"I heard that a new deacon elder has been promoted to the sect recently. He is not yet eighteen years old. You should keep an eye on him and don't let him ruin our good deeds."
"Okay foster father! This is indeed the case. I'm just wondering, how could he have such abilities at such a young age? Could it be that the second genius sent by the leader of the Tianzhu Peak Alliance can't do it carefully? He is really willing to give up. The little genius last time was killed by me not long ago and chopped into minced meat. Unexpectedly, he came to deliver food again, hehe."
"Go ahead and do what you have to do, don't let me down!"
"Don't worry, foster father, this matter will be easy to handle!"

The northernmost part of the Western Chu Territory, the Beiming Sea, is not a vast sea. This is because the mountains in this vast land are undulating, surrounded by deep clouds and fog all year round. There are swamps everywhere. There are many miasmas in the mountains, poisonous flowers, poisonous insects and fierce beasts. At the end of autumn, when there is no rain and drought, it is a barren land. Not to mention ordinary people, even those martial arts people with special skills who stray into it, there are few survivors. After winter comes, the miasma of clouds and mist dissipates a little. If an immortal rides on a crane in the clouds and looks down, he can see that there are islands looming in the sea of clouds. There are countless rare and exotic animals on the islands, as well as eight precious flying springs. It is really full of light. Colorful, just like the fairyland of Tianfu.
The thirty-six islands in the Beiming Sea are naturally famous all over the world because of this wonder. In fact, the Beiming Sea is not a real sea, and the thirty-six islands are naturally not real islands, but just thirty-six peaks. It is said that in the Beiming Sea Occasionally, there is an immortal who enters the world and calls himself the owner of the island. He can swallow clouds and smoke, and his methods are against the heavens. He kills people invisible. Few people can defeat him. Therefore, it is passed down by word of mouth. Thousands of years later, rumors are passed down. Thirty-six of Beiminghai The island has become the so-called island residence.
It was late autumn, the period when the drought and misfortune in the Beiming Sea was at its peak. There was no trace of anyone in the mountains, and there was no way to enter the mountains. But at this time, a boy who was only about eight years old suddenly emerged from among the rocks. The boy's body was covered with blood stains and his hair was unkempt. His true appearance could no longer be seen clearly. His height is no different from that of an ordinary eight-year-old child, but he has broad shoulders and a broad back, and his arms are very long, hanging naturally down to his knees. He was only wearing a rough linen jacket, with nothing to cover his lower body. He was holding a broad knife that was longer than his height in his hand, but his other hand was not free because he was still carrying a knife on his shoulder. A bloody hunk of meat. This piece of flesh and blood weighed at least hundreds of kilograms. After the little boy got out of the rocks, he walked as fast as he could, and disappeared deep into the woods in the blink of an eye.
"Eh? You succeeded so quickly?" At the end of the forest, the field of vision suddenly widened, and the sound of water could be heard in the ears. A waterfall flew down. The boy had just arrived at the waterfall and stood at the edge of the waterfall. Suddenly, a young man's voice came lazily from above.
"Elder, after a lot of effort, my disciple finally killed the saber-toothed ox and brought back so much meat, which is enough for us to eat for two meals." The boy put down the meat on his shoulder and the long knife in his hand. , took a deep breath, then straightened his back and spoke to the young man seriously and respectfully.
"The saber-toothed cow is an omnivore, but its favorite food is the little demon flower. This is not a good habit. Look at how beautiful the flowers are, but the peonies are chewed by the cow, which ruins the scenery. It's abominable!" The young man leaned against his back. On a boulder, he rested his arms on the back of his head and held a grass tip in his mouth. He didn't even raise his head when he spoke, and said: "It's impressive that you can kill an adult saber-toothed cow so quickly. The experience of following me down the mountain this time was not in vain. Oh, by the way, didn't I teach you to be low-key in life, why do you always call me "older" and "elderer"?"
"Hehe, this... the elder has been very kind to me. My mother always taught me to repay the kindness before she was alive. How can I be disrespectful to the elder? Besides, you don't think I'm stupid or young. You don't mind that I am holding you back, and you often teach me and give me so many benefits, so I will obey you!" The boy grinned innocently and scratched the back of his head. His face was covered with dirt, but his white teeth were thin and beautiful. Dense and very neat.
"Tch, you are not stupid. Have you ever heard of 'Great Wisdom Ruo Fool'? Moreover, your boy has excellent bones. He is a good seedling and will definitely have great achievements in the future. Forget it, let's not talk about this. I don't like your stubbornness. I appreciate it very much. When one day your brain opens up, you will understand what I said to you before. There is nothing wrong with repaying kindness, but it is not a superficial thing. Just remember it in your heart. Your thoughts cannot be framed by pedantic concepts, otherwise it will become a major obstacle to your practice. When you understand this, it will be okay for you to call me Brother Li or Li Xiu." The young man was annoyed. Said, but still did not hesitate to teach Chun Chun.
Hearing this, the boy had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Yes, I will remember it this time."
"It's boring, boring, really boring, wooden fish head!" The young man Li Xiu stood up and patted the dust on his clothes, and said: "It's a pity that the few elixirs I went down to look for this time still lacked the 'Fairy Soul-Breaking Grass', otherwise there would be no merit." It's complete. Huzi, go and clean yourself in the water. I'll come and barbecue myself. After we have a meal, we have to go back to the mountain gate immediately."
"..." The boy Huzi was obviously stunned for a moment. He had only been out for a few days, why did he go back? But he only obeyed Li Xiu's words, so he didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and went to the mountain spring downstream to wash himself clean. He also took a pair of rough linen shorts and shorts from his backpack and changed into them. When he came back, he saw Li Xiu. More than half of the saber-toothed beef has been processed. Huzi did not see the process, but he knew that Li Xiu's barbecue was not very good. He just washed it randomly, put some simple seasonings on it, and then put it on the grill. .
Huzi was already hungry, and he was not a refined person either. At this time, his mouth was full of saliva, his eyes were shining, his Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and waited hard. But this time Li Xiu was obviously in a hurry to get back, and he even spared no effort to use a palm technique that Hu Zi had never seen before. His palms were actually breathing fire.
"Haha, I see that you are both greedy and greedy. Come on, I can't stand you being like this. I will teach you this skill later." Li Xiu glanced at Hu Zi, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a half-smile: "But if you want to achieve something with my 'Flame Palm', it won't happen overnight. You have to work hard."
Huzi's eyes were bright and he was overjoyed. He quickly clasped his fists and bowed, wanting to kneel down and say thank you. "Huh?" Li Xiu raised his brows. This move did not make Li Xiu feel the slightest favor. A light flashed in his eyes. Before Hu Zi could kneel down, he waved his sleeves and Hu Zi flew out like a straw man. , fell into the pool with a pop. Because the force was too strong, Huzi sank to the bottom of the water, and his forehead suddenly hit the rocks at the bottom of the pool.
"Ugh!" Huzi felt like he was struck by lightning. Even though he was familiar with the properties of water, he was inevitably choked by the severe pain. After he climbed ashore, blood was already flowing from his forehead, but he didn't even dare to breathe out. , came to Li Xiu, lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
"Do you know why I beat you?" Li Xiu asked.
"I... know."
"Oh? Tell me?"
"The elder...the elder said that red tape is like tying one's hands." Huzi's throat seemed to be stuck with a mouthful of phlegm, and he could not speak clearly. After saying this, a trace of blood actually spilled from the corner of his mouth, which showed that he had just been One sleeve flew away and he suffered some internal injuries.
"Very good. Originally I wanted to give you some time to understand this truth, but I just received a message from Fei Ma. Those old guys asked me to rush back quickly. Something big may happen next, and even I may not be able to do it by then. To protect yourself, you should take a warning today and always remember my teachings. Only after you understand this, can I teach you unique skills and enhance your ability to survive." Li Xiu's tone was still very indifferent, as if it didn't matter. Himself, but Huzi understands that this young elder has always had this kind of temperament, and it is unfathomable. Otherwise, there are so many masters in the sect. How can a young man, who is only a few years older than himself, occupy the position of elder?
"Yes, I remember it." Huzi's eye circles suddenly turned red and he said: "I understand that the elder is here to take care of me, but I don't understand what's wrong with red tape, let alone what's good about red tape. In short, you If it’s not good, it’s not good.”
"Boy, all the hustle and bustle in the world is for gain, and all the bustle in the world is for gain. If you know how to repay your kindness, you should hide it in your heart. Appearance is a trick to deal with outsiders. Do you understand? If you want to kneel to me, is it true? Do you want to kneel down to me?" Li Xiu rarely became serious. Seeing Hu Zi's thoughtful look, he felt that his efforts were not in vain this time and he had listened.
The two then had a hearty meal, and Li Xiu applied medicine to Hu Zi to heal his injuries, and then set off back to the mountain gate. Along the way, Li Xiu taught Hu Zi a set of "Fire Palm". After several explanations, he taught Hu Zi step by step. Therefore, the trip was delayed a lot, and by the time we returned to the mountain gate, night had fallen.
This tiger's original name was Lu Xiaohu. He was originally a handyman in the outer kitchen. He came from a humble background and was the son of a villager at the foot of Wufeng Mountain. He lost his father when he was young. His mother also died of illness two years ago. Lu Xiaohu was only six years old at that time. Years old, relying on the help of villagers to survive. Because of his special physique, he was selected by the collection team that came down from Wufeng Mountain and was accepted as his disciple. Later, one time, Li Xiu thought the food was not to his liking, so he brought some game meat and went to the kitchen to try it himself, but he fell in love with one. The cook is undoubtedly Lu Xiaohu. This boy's physique is not only special, he is simply unique, so he takes him with him to teach him. In fact, there are still many aboriginals in the inner area of the thirty-six islands of the Beiming Sea. However, due to the complex terrain of the Beiming Sea, there are countless poisonous insects and beasts, and there is a miasma shrouded in it. The climate is even more unpredictable, making it difficult for outsiders to enter, and ordinary people Can't get out at all. The value of these aboriginal people is an important way to provide personnel and supplies to Thirty-Six Islands. Food, herbs, farmers, livestock, etc. are almost all collected from these villagers. Occasionally, if they find good seedlings, they will bring them to the mountain gate. This cyclical pattern has been going on for generations for thousands of years. To be honest, almost every village is related to the Thirty-Six Islands. Therefore, the competition between villages is also extremely fierce. Over time, many villagers have also become Gradually, I learned some superficial methods of breathing and speaking, which became a common practice among the people.
On Wufeng Mountain, Li Xiu led Lu Xiaohu all the way without any hindrance. Li Xiu sensed along the way that he noticed that the number of people on the hillside had increased significantly, at least three times as many as usual. He made an estimate in his mind, Wufeng Mountain was the northern One of the thirty-six islands in the Underworld, the island known to the outside world is Wufeng. Its strength is ranked in the middle, but it cannot make it into the top ten. There are about a hundred servants on my island, not counting servants and maids. Above them are two hundred outer disciples, eighteen disciples, five deacons and elders, one great elder and one supreme elder. There is no so-called Door owner. The outer disciples are all talented disciples. After they have completed cultivation, they will be sent down the mountain to manage business in the secular world. While supporting the master, they are also protected by the master. The inner disciples are the disciples of the elders. They have outstanding talents and abilities. Extraordinary; as for the five major deacons and elders, they are: Chuan Gong, Chuan Dharma, Punishment, Alchemy Room, and Tibetan Sutra. They are in charge of the five major areas within the gate. The Great Elder sits at the center of the main peak, while the Taishang Elder practices behind closed doors in Liuyun Cave. , at the critical point of life and death, he has not cared about worldly affairs for a long time, and he is a god-like figure who eats offerings to ensure peace.
Since Li Xiu entered our island, he has performed extraordinary feats and intimidated those old guys. With great credit, he made an exception and became the sixth deacon elder. Because his medical skills are really shocking, he became the second alchemist. Elder Fang, but Li Xiu did not manage the alchemy room. When he returned to his residence, he erected a stone tablet in front of the courtyard door with the word "clinic" engraved on it to express his position and specialize in treatment. It's just a difficult and complicated disease. When practicing medicine, I don't want to offend the elder of the alchemy room. After all, he knows that in a sect, a location like the alchemy room can be said to be the best place to make money. Sure enough, after a little digging, he found out that the interests of the alchemy room were related to the great elder, and the great elder was said to be the eldest grandson of the supreme elder. Li Xiu settled here just to find a place to rest and had no ambition to fight for power. He once said that he took the name of an elder just for convenience. If it wasn't a matter of personal cultivation, Li Xiu didn't want to sit here. Those old guys who are much older than my grandfather are shitting and peeing on their heads, so it is much more convenient to give them the title of Supreme Elder, in order to dispel many of the worries of the old guys. What is strange is that it is so treasonous. When the words came out of Li Xiu's mouth, the first elder and the five elders could only smile bitterly in addition to looking embarrassed.
