Northern Jin Dynasty, Northern Liang region.
It is located in the far north of the world, and its spiritual energy is very thin. It is difficult to produce a mid-level master in a hundred years. What's more, in this world, the world respects martial arts and seeks the immortal way. If there is any obstacle to the cultivation of the immortal way, it will be a wasteland.
But in this wasteland, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and most people can live their lives peacefully.
In order to explain why there is such a situation of national peace and prosperity, in addition to the large army stationed on the border in the Northern Jin Dynasty, the four forces in the Beiliang region also contributed a lot.
Leifu Town is to the west, Linjia is to the east, Lujia is to the south, and Linfu is to the north.
These four forces each guarded one place, occupying the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest respectively.
In the middle of Beiliang Territory, there is a sacred tree of unknown age.
What is a sacred tree? That's because its trunk has reached straight up for an unknown number of miles, and its end cannot be seen at all. Its trunk is so thick that it would take nearly a hundred people to wrap around it.
In the north of the city, there is a green peak that goes straight into the sky, called "Qifeng Mountain". There are many ferocious beasts on this peak, and many beasts have even developed spiritual intelligence and advanced to become monsters. Most people will never know how to do it. We have only taken half a step, but at this time tonight, the mountain is bustling with activity...
It was night, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, but fierce collisions kept coming from the supposedly silent mountain forest, which made the birds and beasts in the mountain unable to rest. They could only spread their wings helplessly, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
The culprit of all this was the young man in green shirt running around in the forest, and the huge wild boar chasing behind him.
The young man recalled the "advice" given by the drunken man at the foot of the mountain today, and became even more angry. Well, we didn't encounter the tiger, but we can't afford to offend this wild boar!
Just like this, there was a man and a pig, one behind the other. The man was running towards death, and the pig was chasing after him desperately, turning Qifeng Mountain into dust in the middle of the night. But this man is, after all, smarter than this ignorant beast. The young man in green shirt deliberately lured it towards the trees and boulders, and it also bumped into them without hesitation. Look, those exposed fangs One has been broken off.
The two of them kept chasing each other for nearly a quarter of an hour, and they were almost chasing each other from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The young man in green shirt running in front was already sweating profusely. He took the opportunity to look back. , realizing that the wild boar was still chasing after him, he rolled his eyes to himself, and then jumped forward with all his strength, jumping about half a foot away.
I thought it would be a graceful landing, but the reality was cruel. The young man in green shirt could not stand firmly, so he knelt down on his knees and relied on his hands to support himself in order to avoid this great ceremony.
If anyone saw this scene now, they would probably have laughed out loud. However, although there was no one at the scene, there was a pig behind him. Although this beast didn't understand what it meant to be funny, it was at least surprised and curious. No, it had stopped not far from the boy and was constantly looking at the boy's buttocks.
After removing his strength for a while, the green-shirted boy stood up and dusted himself with some embarrassment, then turned around with a warm smile, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Zhu, you see you have sent me so far away. Let's go today." Just send it here. Not far ahead is my little brother's simple couch room. You can stay here. Come and drink tea another day. I see that the frown between your brows is definitely bad luck today, so I won't stay with you any longer. Please stay here. , stay!"
After talking to himself, the young man didn't even look at the wild boar's expression behind him. He turned around and prepared to leave with his hands behind his hands.
But how could the wild boar understand what he meant? Even if he did, he couldn't let him run away. He finally bumped into a precious fruit that exuded spiritual energy. If he just slipped away from his eyes, what would spread to the outside world? There’s no place for this pig’s face!
As soon as he thought of this, the wild boar was filled with rage. He gasped through his nostrils and suddenly exerted force on his hind legs, rushing towards the young man.
On the other hand, looking at the young man who was walking away with his hands behind his back, the heavy footsteps behind him had already reached his ears, but he was still walking leisurely, whispering in a low voice: "Three, two... .one!"
After saying that, there was a huge noise behind the young man. When he heard the sound, the young man didn't even bother to turn around, he walked back backwards, counting every step he took. When he counted to about At the age of fifteen, he turned around and squatted on the ground. I saw that a huge deep pit appeared out of thin air on the previously flat ground, and the wild boar also fell into it, screaming "oh oh oh oh" in the pit. It seemed that someone had set a trap here early in the morning.
Looking at the wild boar at the bottom of the pit, the young man shook his head helplessly and said: "You tell me, I asked you to stay and you still insist on following me. If you don't listen to the advice given to you, you will suffer a loss. Now you will fall into the pit. It’s up to you what to do, take your leave!”
After saying that, the young man stopped lingering, got up and walked quickly towards the outside of the forest.
When the young man in green shirt walked out of the forest, he reached the top of Qifeng Mountain. As the bright moonlight shone on his body, he finally saw the young man's appearance clearly.
The young man was about five feet tall, with a relatively young face that looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. His long black hair was tied high on the back of his head and hung down to his neck, with two strands of black hair floating in front of his forehead. He looked quite handsome, but his face was a little unhealthy and sickly white. However, there was a little red on both sides of his cheeks at this time, probably because he was too tired from running.
Looking at his clothes, he was wearing a simple old loose green shirt. I wonder if it had been washed too many times and turned white. There is also an ordinary stone tied with a black rope hanging on his waist, and there are no other accessories.
He is such a young man who looks very ordinary, to the point of saying that he is a sick man.
The young man walked under the moonlight, or he was a little tired from running. He squatted down with his hands on his knees. He shook his head vigorously and carefully took out a round red fruit as big as an orange from his arms. Under the background of the moonlight, the fruit looked a bit coquettish in the young man's hands.
"Fortunately, I didn't encounter any monsters, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save this thing," the young man said to himself.
Seeing that the fruit in his hand was safe and sound, the young man fell backwards as if he had lost all strength. He just lay on the ground, not caring about the dust rising around him. Although his cabin was not far ahead, he really had no strength left.
After resting for about half a moment, the young man lazily lifted his upper body from the ground and placed the red fruit in his Qiankun sleeves. He looked up at the bright moon and suddenly said: "You have seen a great show all the way. What, is it possible that you still want to watch me bathe and sleep before you leave?"
I don’t know who the young man was shouting to. Anyway, his voice fell for a long time and no one answered.
The young man seemed to be dissatisfied and took a breath, whispered "I'm not polite", then moved his gaze to the forest behind him, and shouted: "It's dangerous to stand on the tree, come down."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter from a middle-aged man in the mountain forest where there was originally only the howling of wild boars. At the same time, a black shadow suddenly jumped up from a place, stepping on a few leaves and leaping in the direction of the young man.
Seeing people coming out, the young man did not intend to continue sitting. He stood up and casually dusted himself a few times, then turned around to "welcome" the guests.
By coincidence, as soon as the young man turned around, the man hiding in the forest also happened to fall down. When he stepped on the ground, he stirred up a lot of dust, which made the young man frown in dissatisfaction.
Reluctantly, he rolled up his sleeves and covered his mouth and nose. The young man looked this person up and down and said, "It seems that you are not a master. You can still engage in such a big battle after landing."
The visitor was wearing a black loose hooded robe. Not a single piece of skin on his body was exposed to the air. Even his head was hidden deep under the hood, and his face could not be seen at all.
The man in black ignored the young man's teasing and did not respond first. He slowly circled the young man a few times, and finally stopped a few steps in front of him. He said with a smile: "Little brother, I was facing that boy earlier." What the wild boar said was aimed at me?"
Judging from the voice, it was a middle-aged man, but he probably used Lingqi to change his voice when speaking.
When the young man heard this, the pair of tricks started to click involuntarily. He put down the hand covering his mouth and nose and put it behind his back. He said with a smile that was unflattering: "It would be pointless to say it."
After saying this, a chuckle came from under the black robe. I don't know if it was amused by the young rogue's words, or was it a disdainful taunt?
The young man looked at the black man in front of him, sighed for no reason, and said: "If you want to kill me, just do it, why bother talking to me here."
As soon as these words came out, the two of them fell into silence for an instant. I wonder if the wild boar in the pit was also tired of howling. When the two of them were silent, they closed their mouths, and the top of the mountain also returned to its usual silence.
The two were silent for a few breaths, and the young man also put away his playful attitude and looked at the black robe in front of him with a serious face.
"Why kill you? I can't..."
The man in black robe was the first to break the deadlock, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the young man.
"You have been following me since the Immortal Tree. If you want to grab this Weeping Blood Fruit, there are many excellent opportunities along the way. Why wait until now."
Looking at the young man with bright eyes, the black robe suddenly raised his hands and laughed. It didn't last long. He looked down at the young man and said, "As expected of Lin Shangnan's son. He knew he was in danger but still... Thinking of testing me, he has the courage he had back then."
At this moment, the young man clenched the palms behind him tightly, but his expression remained as usual. He said as if he had heard some joke: "Senior is joking. Who doesn't know that Lin Shangnan's son is now the second son of the Lin family? A mountain boy like me cannot step through the door of Lin Mansion."
Nodding as if in appreciation, the man in black robe crossed his arms and smiled: "It is very rare for you to have such a character at your age, but it is a pity that you have not entered the spiritual level and cannot control many subtle changes in your body. "
Before the young man could speak, the black robe seemed to have forgotten a word and added: "By the way, loosen your fist. No matter how tight you hold it, you can't beat me."
These words did not make the boy loosen his clenched fists, but instead clenched them harder. He tried his best to calm down and said with a faint smile: "I wonder which force sent you to kill me, the Lei Family? The Lin Family? The Lu Family? Or... the Lin Family?"
When the young man mentioned the Lin Mansion, his tone became much more serious, and his lazy aura disappeared. At this moment, he seemed to be a different person, staring at the black robe in front of him expressionlessly.
The black robe did not answer the boy's question, but said bluntly: "Can I think that the little brother has acquiesced? You are Lin Shangnan's son, Lin Yuan."
The corner of his mouth curled up with a cold arc, and the young man's words without any emotional tone came out of his mouth:
"Whether I am Lin Yuan or not has nothing to do with you. You, on the other hand, can easily pass up the guards of the Lin Mansion at the foot of the mountain and go up the mountain. I'm afraid you are a fifth-grade man. Could it be that you are an unknown boy who came to kill me?"
Now that this was said, the man in black robe seemed to be no longer pretending. He slowly took out a steel knife from his sleeve robe, raised it, and pointed it directly at the young man.
"Since you have pierced this layer of window paper, I have no choice but to accept your life today!"
After saying that, the black robe stepped forward directly, picked up the steel knife and slashed at the young man.
The steel knife drew a silver half arc in the moonlight. Just when it was about to reach the boy's heavenly spirit, it stopped the knife in time, because the boy under the knife made a stop motion with his hand. gesture.
"What? Are you scared?"
The black robe did not take back the steel knife because of this, he just hung the knife half an inch above the young man's head and asked.
The young man raised his hand to move the knife, but found that he couldn't move the steel knife even half an inch, so he put down his arm helplessly, suddenly put on a playful smile and said with a smile: "No, you are not willing to kill someone like me." It is beneath your status to be a junior at the spiritual level, so why bother? Why don't you give me this Weeping Blood Fruit? Can we make friends?"
"Kill you, and I'll take it away as well." Black Robe still said with a chuckle.
Spreading his hands helplessly, the young man said, "It's unlucky to see blood at night."
The black robe didn't answer, just looked at the young man.
"forget it......"
"Then can I take action now?"
After saying that, the black robe raised the steel knife again, but before he could drop the knife, the young man in front of him shouted towards the forest: "Help!"
However, the young man's shout was of no use, but it frightened several birds and beasts in the forest.
"Who do you expect to save you, the guards of the Lin Mansion at the foot of the mountain? Or the wild boar?" Black Robe said with a bit of joking.
"Then I'm not sure, maybe a kind-hearted monster will come to fight against the injustice?" The young man said nonchalantly.
"It's a pity that you don't have the chance to meet this kind-hearted monster!"
It seemed that the man in black robe had had enough fun and stopped talking nonsense. The steel knife he raised fell directly on the young man's head.
But the young man saw the blade getting closer and closer to him. He had no intention of dodging, and there was no fear in his eyes. Just when the blade was about to hit the boy, a sound pierced through the air rang out from the mountains and forests, directly hitting the steel knife in the black robe's hand.
There was a sound of "ding", and the steel knife in the black robe's hand flew out and landed a few feet away. The black robe only felt that a fiery red figure appeared in front of him to protect the young man behind him, and he subconsciously suddenly Slap forward.
Obviously, the black robe reacted correctly. As soon as the red shadow stabilized his stance, he punched him with all his strength. Unfortunately, facing this full force punch, he was not prepared enough and was ultimately defeated.
Careless!
"Bang!"
The two fists faced each other, creating a gust of wind. The black robe was directly knocked away by the force of the fist, and he had to use all his energy in the air to land safely.
Looking at the fiery red figure who had just punched, he stood in front of the young man without moving at all, staring at him expressionlessly. His eyes were filled with chilling murderous intent. They were not so much human eyes as they were eyes. , more like the eyes of a beast.
After calming down the surging spiritual energy in his body, the man in black robe straightened up and looked at the troublemaker. He was dressed in fiery red clothes. He should be about the same age as the young man behind him. He was holding a strange blood-red slender long knife and examined it carefully. His strength is actually a fourth-grade perfection, but this is not the point. The point is his appearance, but it does not mean that his appearance is outstanding, but that this person is the nominal second son of the Lin family, Lin Yuan.
Under the moonlight, three people faced each other.
"Lin Yuan" in red who had just entered the game protected the young man in blue behind him. His eyes were fixed on the black robe in front of him. When he saw that he didn't make any movement, he turned to look at the young man behind him. He cast a concerned look.
Scratching his forehead helplessly, the young man in green stretched out his hand and patted "Lin Yuan" on the shoulder, then took the initiative to step forward and stand with him, and said: "Tsk, look, we could have had a good time over wine, so why bother?" It’s so stiff.”
After brushing the dust on his robe a few times, there was a hint of joking in the black robe's voice, and he pointed at "Lin Yuan" in red and said: "Boy, let's open the skylight and speak openly. The person next to you should be blocking it for you. The puppet of the sword."
Hearing the word "puppet", the young man in green's eyebrows almost knitted together. He said seriously: "His surname is Lin and his name is Sanli. He is my brother, the upright second son of the Lin family. He is not you." What kind of puppet is that in your mouth?"
"Lin Sanli" the black robe muttered the name of the boy in red in a low voice, and then said with a smile: "No wonder Lin Weiyang, after that girl returned to Beiliang and destroyed the Liu Mansion, she only announced that her younger brother would be the second son of the Lin Mansion from now on. Young Master, he never mentioned the names of these two Young Masters."
"Even so, I'm afraid not many old foxes in this city believe it." When the young man in green shirt said this, he intentionally or unintentionally drifted his eyes to the shadowy mountain forest, and then lowered his eyes and looked up. head, letting the moonlight shine on his face.
"Sanli has lived under Lin Yuan's name for me for nearly five years, and I have also been an unknown person for five years. But since so many people want to see who Lin Yuan is, then I will satisfy you. Require."
As soon as the sound fell, the young man in green robe opened his eyes and looked at the black robe. He took a step forward and faced the forest behind the black robe.
"I'm down there, Lin Yuan!"
