Run!
At this time, apart from fear, the only words left in Shen Qinglan's heart were these two words.
However, she is still a ten-year-old child, how can she outrun a three-eyed red fox!
In less than a few breaths, when he was less than a foot away from her, the three-eyed red fox jumped towards her!
The instinctive reaction he had learned from hunting in the mountains with his father and brother since he was a child. The moment before he fell to the ground, he turned sideways and chopped off the fox's head with the dagger in his hand.
However, the three-eyed red fox was not the ordinary fox she encountered in the mountains. The dagger only left a blood mark on the opponent's jaw.
The demon fox has killed too many people today, and its eyes are now red. I didn't expect that this mortal with no magic power would dare to attack it!
It pressed Shen Qinglan under its claws and roared at her, as if to vent its anger, then opened its mouth and bit her entire arm.
Severe pain spreads throughout the body, are you going to die?
Will his heart be ripped out by the demon fox like everyone else?
Poof, when she was desperate, she heard a very subtle and familiar sound, which was the sound of a sword piercing the prey's body.
When he opened his eyes again, the demon fox in front of him had a sharp blade on his chest, and a long sword pierced it from behind. The lingering green color on the tip of the sword shows that it is unique!
Her arm was still bitten by the demon fox, and the two long fangs pierced deeply into her flesh, causing severe pain.
As the man pulled out the long sword, the fox demon's body fell down and lay on the ground heaving violently.
Shen Qinglan wanted to pull out her arm, but couldn't get it free for a moment. There seemed to be something caught in her hand while she was pulling.
"Ah!" He let out a scream as his palm was burned by a strong burning heat!
The rescuer quickly opened the three-eyed red fox's mouth and pulled her arm out.
"It's okay, don't be afraid." The man's voice was gentle.
After saying that, he stuffed a pill into her mouth, "Take it and it will save your life."
Before she could refuse, the pill had already slipped into her abdomen, the bleeding from the wound quickly stopped, and the pain was relieved a lot.
But the burning heat in the palm is still there, and nothing unusual is seen when I push it away!
Although she was doubtful, she couldn't care less at this time. She hurriedly grabbed the strange man and begged, "Please save my family! My parents and mother-in-law are still at home."
Following the direction of her finger, the man sighed in his heart, there was no breath of living people there!
Before the other party could answer, Shen Qinglan had already climbed up and said, "Right in front."
She yelled as she ran towards her home, while her savior sighed and followed her.
The corpses scattered on the road were all familiar faces, and her heart sank all the way.
When he saw the tragic scene in his courtyard, he couldn't help but be filled with grief, "Aniang!!!"
With just this sentence, something seemed to explode in his chest, and his vision went black and he fainted!
…………
Three days later.
When Shen Qinglan opened her eyes again, the unfamiliar environment around her immediately made her sit up vigilantly.
"Are you awake?" It was that gentle male voice again.
She turned around and saw the corner of the room. The man who saved her before was sitting cross-legged on a futon. His facial features were ordinary, but together they gave her a sense of intimacy. The smile on his face was the same as his voice. mild.
Seeing her defensive look, the other party said, "Little girl, don't be afraid, this is Tongjian Sect, and I am Zhou Huai, a disciple of Tongjian Sect."
"Tongjianmen? Why am I here? I want to go home. My father and mother are still at home. They, they..." Recalling the tragic scene, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and tears fell down.
Zhou Huai was a little at a loss when he saw this, "Little girl, don't cry, don't cry!"
Shen Qinglan, who originally wanted to hold back, heard him tell her not to cry, but her tears started to fall even more fiercely!
Zhou Huai was dumbfounded now. He had been practicing in the sect since he was a child. He was asked to kill enemies and monsters, and he was asked to coax children. It was really difficult to be a human being.
"That, that." Zhou Huai said that for a long time. He really didn't know what to say, so he turned around and ran out. It seemed that he was looking for help.
Soon, the door was opened again, and a young man came in.
Shen Qinglan looked up and found that he was the son of a teacher in the village. What was his name, Wu Yongen?
She has been following her father and brother to the mountains to hunt or kill pigs and sell meat. The Wu family boy studies at home all day long and rarely shows his face outside. The two of them have no interaction on weekdays.
Wu Yongen spoke first, "Are you from Butcher Shen's family?"
Although she didn't like the contempt in his tone, she still replied, "Yes."
Wu Yongen continued, "Several three-eyed red foxes broke into the village. Except for you and me, everyone else in Xiaochi Village died. Uncle Zhou from Tongjianmen saved us. Now I have detected the double spiritual roots of gold and wood. I will keep them in the future." It’s up to you to practice magic here.”
Shen Qinglan looked at him straightly. She didn't like Wu Yongen's tone when he said that all the people in the village were dead, as if he was talking about other people, and there were no parents among those people.
And what about the twin spiritual roots and the practice of immortality? Didn’t farming change into cultivating immortality?
Wu Yongen didn't care about her gaze, "You were too seriously injured and no one could take care of you, so Master Zhou took you back to the sect. Now that you are awake, think about where you can find relatives to seek refuge with. Master Zhou agreed to send you You go over."
Shen Qinglan clenched her fists. Her father, mother, and brother were all gone, and she had no other relatives to seek refuge with.
But at this time, she wanted to figure out another thing, "Our ancestors have been guarding Xiaochi Village for generations, and we have never heard of three-eyed red foxes. Do you know why they suddenly appeared in Xiaochi Village?"
Wu Yongen didn't expect that she would ask this, and he was a little speechless for a moment. He did know something, but what could he do if he told her? There was nothing he could do. What could this little village girl from the Shen family do?
"You can't stay in this sect for a long time, and I don't understand the matter of seeking immortality. Think of a place to go quickly. I still have to practice, so I'll go back first." After saying this, Wu Yongen went out without looking back. .
Shen Qinglan stared at Wu Yongen's leaving figure. She always felt that this man knew something. Isn't it unusual for a demon fox she had never heard of to appear in the village?
Naturally it is abnormal!
There must be a monster when something goes wrong, there must be something she doesn't know about!
But the biggest problem now is how to survive with this ten-year-old body?
When Zhou Huai entered the room, what he saw was Shen Qinglan standing there in a daze with his hands down. He couldn't bear it. It was really pitiful to experience this at such a young age.
Seeing Zhou Huai, Shen Qinglan hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to say thank you, "Thank you Master Zhou Xian for saving your life!"
If the other party is a monk, it is natural to call him an immortal master.
"Don't take it to heart. Did your fellow countryman tell you? Are there any relatives or friends at home who can take refuge?"
Shen Qinglan said truthfully, "My father and mother have no brothers or sisters, and there are no other relatives or friends in my family. I have followed my father and brother to the mountains for hunting since I was a child, and I am familiar with killing pigs and selling meat. Can you send me back to Xiaochi Village? I can take care."
Originally, she had yet to repay her life-saving kindness, so she shouldn't bother Zhou Huai anymore, but Shen Qinglan didn't know how far away from home this place was, and it would be difficult for her to go back by herself.
Zhou Huai sighed. No matter how talented a teenage girl is, she can only help her family. Now that Xiaochi Village is empty, how can she live by herself?
Seeing Shen Qinglan pretending to be strong, Zhou Huai became softer and softer, "How about I help you find a place to live in Shanxiafang City, and then I will send you to the mortal world when you become an adult? The gate really cannot accommodate ordinary people without spiritual roots. "
"Master Zhou, how do you know if you have spiritual roots?"
This question directly reminded Zhou Huai that before he tested her spiritual roots, she fell asleep for a few days, but he forgot about it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huai took out a palm-sized stone and said, "Miss Shen, put your hand on the spirit-testing stone and let me see if you have spiritual roots!"
