As the sun sets, the clouds in the sky are red, like a large ball of flames, forming various shapes. This is the famous fire cloud, which can be seen at the entrance of Daling Village.
Sometimes the clouds form animals, and sometimes they form objects. It is a wonderful sight, but unfortunately, no one in Daling Village has the time to watch it.
Their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they are not surprised. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset every day, working for a living.
Another sunset, a slightly darker figure appeared, with a long shadow behind him. This was a young man, wearing linen clothes, slightly darker in appearance. When he saw the villagers, he grinned, showing two big white teeth.
The young man held a woodcutter in his hand, which was sharpened, two hares and a pheasant tied around his waist, and a white fox on his shoulder. He walked towards the small village under the setting sun.
"Tatsuko is back!"
"Hello, Uncle Wang!"
"Hello, old man!"
The young man's name is Tatsuko, he is simple and honest, and he greets the villagers politely when he sees them.
"Tatsuko is so awesome. I killed so many little beasts today. Oh, let me take a look. There is actually a white fox with its fur intact. Okay, Tatsuko, this can be exchanged for a lot of money. Maybe I can exchange for a few more." Broken Yuan Stone.”
"Tatsuko, your skills are even better than that of Lao Zhangtou. When he hit the white fox, he damaged its fur."
Some villagers' eyes lit up when they saw the white fox on Chenzi's back.
"Lucky, lucky!" Chenzi smiled honestly.
"By the way, Tatsuko, you have gained so much today, are you going to the town soon?"
Chenzi nodded and said with a smile: "I'll go in a few days. Then I'll go from house to house and notify everyone and bring them along with me."
"Haha, Tatsuko is really sensible."
"Yes, Tatsuko is truly a blessing to our Daling Village!"
Hearing this, the smiles on the villagers' faces became even brighter. After that, Tatsuko smiled and walked towards the village.
"It must be going to Lao Zhang's house. Lao Zhang accidentally broke his leg when he went up the mountain last time. He can't hunt. Chenzi sends him his daily food."
"Tatsuko is a sensible child. He came to our village two months ago. In just two months, he has done a lot for us."
"Yeah, I really hope Tatsuko doesn't leave and stays in our village forever."
When Chenzi left, the villagers talked a lot. Chenzi was very honest, loved to laugh, was kind to people, and had extraordinary skills. That day, a group of villagers went hunting in the mountains and encountered a fierce tiger. At the critical moment, Chenzi jumped out and killed him with one punch. The tiger.
The last tiger skin was sold for a good price, but all was given to the villagers.
The villagers know that Tatsuko is not ordinary and will not stay in this small mountain village for a long time.
"If I guessed correctly, Tatsuko is probably a monk. How could he stay in our mountain village?"
"The outside world is the world for monks. How can a mere Daling village retain monks?"
Some villagers showed reverence and envy, but also endless disappointment.
The monks are very high-ranking. It is said that they can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and their magic power is boundless.
"Yes, every monk is aloof. We in Daling Village naturally don't expect to have monks. It's a pity that Lao Zhangtou's son was originally a monk. It is said that he is still in the eighth level. When he comes back every day, he is followed by a monk. With his care for the large group of young monks, our Daling Village has lived a good life for several years, but who knew that God was going to destroy our Daling Village!"
Some villagers began to sigh.
Chenzi did not go back to his home, but first went to Lao Zhangtou's house. Lao Zhangtou was a hunter who made a living by hunting. He had a son who was his pride before, because he was a monk and a disciple of Zhanwu Sect. , with a noble status, but half a year ago, his son went out for training and encountered a group of bandits. After a fierce battle, he was deprived of his Dantian. He was expelled by Zhan Wuzong and returned to Daling Village.
This is the pain in Lao Zhangtou's heart. His Dantian was destroyed and his son's life was ruined. He has been unable to recover since then and is confused.
When Chenzi arrived, he found Zhang Shui sitting on the big stone at the door, his eyes dull and confused. After hearing the footsteps, the other party turned around and looked at Chenzi with eyes full of contempt.
Tatsuko was a monk, he had already seen it, but he didn't care, because at that time, he was a powerful being in the eighth level of true energy.
"Chenzi, you're here." Lao Zhangtou also heard the footsteps. He was sitting in the yard with a long stick next to him as a crutch. Sitting there, he could just see Zhang Shui, so he was monitoring him and was afraid that he would not be able to think clearly. , committing suicide.
Seeing Chenzi's arrival, Lao Zhang stood up shakily with a cane in one hand.
"Old man, you don't have to get up. I beat a lot of things today and they broke at home, so I brought them here specially." Tatsuko's voice was deep and rich, and she held Old Zhang's head firmly.
"Oh!" Lao Zhang nodded with tears in his eyes. These words were almost what Tatsuko said every day after he broke his leg. Every day, he hunted a few more game animals.
After putting the things here, Chenzi chatted with Lao Zhangtou for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he stood up and left.
"Let's stay and eat." Lao Zhangtou persuaded him to stay.
"No, I've already eaten it when I came here."
Tatsuko's residence is a small, deserted courtyard. All the previous families have moved away, leaving the place empty and unoccupied.
There are only a few simple furniture in the house, which is very simple. Among them, a long sword with a red light is placed beside the bed, which is very eye-catching.
The long sword is bright red, like a burning flame. There is a firebird carved on the hilt. This sword is the Fiery Sword.
And Chenzi was naturally Zichen. Everyone thought he entered the depths of the quiet forest and thought he was dead. Unfortunately, he arrived at Daling Village, which is not far from Zhanwu Sect and falls within the scope of Cangli City.
After Zi Chen had a fierce battle with an innate monster that day, he turned around and ran away. Fortunately, although he was not strong, his speed was not slow. He ran towards the depths of the quiet forest, but halfway through, he threw away the monster. After the beast, he turned around and ran in the other direction. There was Lop Nur, which was thousands of miles long. It was like a big dragon flowing out from the depths of the quiet forest. Zi Chen did not hesitate, dove in, and went down the river. .
This was his previous plan. He had already set his sights on Lop Nur. Today's quiet jungle is just to divert the attention of the three parties.
Lop Nur is huge and the water is fast. If you want to survive here, in addition to strength, you also need some luck. But no matter what, the vitality of Lop Nur is much greater than that of the secluded jungle. In the midst of bumping and bumping, you can drift for thousands of miles. , Zi Chen was seriously injured, with a strong physique, scars everywhere, bruises and bruises, and finally arrived in Daling Village.
The villagers here are all mortals, not very powerful, but very simple. They were kind enough to take him in and find him a place to live.
It has been more than two months since Zichen arrived in Daling Village. Zichen went to the mountains to hunt during the day and came back to practice at night. His life was very comfortable.
During this period of time, he also realized the Qingfeng Slash and Qingfeng Seal, and gained a lot. Moreover, because of the lightning energy in his body, once used, these two techniques are also very powerful.
During these two months, Zi Chen often went to a small town hundreds of miles away. When he went there to sell furs, he also got some useful information.
A few days later, the furs that Zi Chen hung to dry were already dry, so he took the furs and went from house to house to collect the furs and sell them in the town for a good price. Although he had only been here for two months, the villagers believed in Zi Chen.
Selling fur is false, but seeking information is true.
A journey of hundreds of miles might take several hours for ordinary people, but Zi Chen ran all the way and arrived in less than half an hour.
After disposing of the fur as quickly as possible and at the cheapest price, Zi Chen came to a tavern.
In the same tavern, in the same location, Zi Chen ordered two side dishes and a bottle of wine, and sat quietly.
This place is not far from Zhan Wuzong. Many disciples of Zhan Wuzong come down the mountain to eat, drink and chat.
Zi Chen arrived early, and it was not until noon that disciples appeared one after another.
"The sect's core assessment is about to begin again, and I don't know who can get in this time."
"Entering the core can be regarded as reaching the sky in one step. You have endless resources to practice. Unfortunately, I am only at the eighth level and I am not qualified at all."
The disciples of Zhan Wuzong were all talking about unnutritious things. Zi Chen's face was deliberately darkened, and his eyebrows became thick. Although he was a little different, he was not conspicuous. He had already recognized a person opposite him, whom he had met in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. Yes, if the other party had taken one step later, he would have died in his own hands.
"Senior Brother, you are a member of Senior Brother Lingyun. You did a big thing with Senior Brother Chenchen. Although you failed in the end, you are still considered a member of Senior Brother Lingyun. Could it be that he doesn't even give you this power?" asked a disciple.
"Give them back the power, just don't kill me." The senior brother glared and said: "Do you know how big that thing was back then, success is just a matter of success. If you don't succeed, everyone will be silenced. Senior Brother Lingyun stood up for it. a lot of pressure."
"Let me tell you, even senior brother Ling Yun was punished when he came back. He faced the wall for half a year before he showed up."
"What, Senior Brother Ling Yun was punished to face the wall, so he won't hold any grudge after he comes out?"
"That was decided by the elders. How can senior brothers hold grudges? However, those disciples who luckily survived the attack on us that day received the punishment they deserved."
One of the disciples' eyes lit up and said: "I've also heard about this. It's said that many of the surviving senior brothers from the Spiritual Medicine Garden group either disappeared innocently or died suddenly. Some went out for training and were killed. Killed, crippled. Could it be all of these!"
"Huh, just know it yourself, keep your mouth shut." The senior brother snorted coldly, "Those who dealt with us back then were severely punished. That Zhang Shui was so arrogant before, how about now, he is not a useless person, Mom Yes, he almost killed me with a knife in the elixir garden, but now it’s better, not only has his strength been destroyed, but he can’t even save the mountain village he lives in.”
"And that Zi Chen, he is really damned. Even the Lingwu Sect has been wiped out, and he made such a big fuss. He deserves to die."
"Senior brother, is this Zi Chen from the Lingwu Sect who understood the Thunder Finger? The Lingwu Sect was destroyed, isn't he still alive?" a disciple asked.
