Senior sister, don't be stubborn, you are already invincible.

In this peaceful little mountain village, whether it's good or bad, the days are still flowing by like water without any disturbance.

On this day, a quarrel sounded at the entrance of the village, attracting nearby residents to pay attention.

"Well, you old man Li, you can't feed your own sons, and you have to help that little beggar. Do you know that your two sons are starving to death now? People like you You don’t deserve to be a father at all!”

This was the voice of Old Mrs. Li, sharp and mean.

"Oh, it's just a mouthful of food. Qi Ping'an's parents are dead. As the head of a village, how can I watch him starve to death?"

Old Man Li was hunched over, his face full of vicissitudes of life.

"I didn't talk about you in the past few years, but in the past two years, there has been a severe drought. It is difficult to feed the whole family with just the harvest. Your son is almost starving to death!" Old Mrs. Li refused to give up.

"This……"

Old Man Li hesitated and stared blankly at the rice cereal in his hand.

Seeing Old Man Li's hesitation, Old Mrs. Li grabbed the rice cereal.

"He is now seven years old. He is not young anymore. He can go out and find some work. It is not okay to wait for nothing!"

Old Mrs. Li cursed while grabbing it: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. I won't give it to you in the future, otherwise you will let our family starve to death."

Old Li Tou had no choice but to give up.

And that day.

Qi Ping'an, who had no idea about the matter, knocked on Qi Jiang's door early in the morning.

It's still dark and Qi Jiang hasn't gotten up yet.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and asked, "Qi Pingan, why don't you sleep?"

Qi Ping'an carried a basket on his back and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, starting from today, I am going to go into the mountains to collect medicinal materials. There are more medicinal materials in the mountains. Can you give me some directions?"

"Into the mountains?"

When Qi Jiang heard this, he suddenly sobered up a lot.

He glanced at Qi Ping'an, who was less than half his height and had thin arms and legs, and shook his head: "Stop making trouble, there are many wild beasts in the mountains. With your small body, you will be torn into pieces if you are not careful. Why go into the mountain?" ah?"

"It doesn't matter, I will pay attention." Qi Pingan was confident.

Qi Jiang hesitated for a long time and said, "I'll go with you!"

After all, he lived in a village. Qi Ping'an was still too young to go into the mountains. If something happened, he wouldn't be able to explain it.

Therefore, he decided to accompany Qi Ping'an into the mountains.

"No no no—"

Qi Ping'an waved his hand quickly, "I heard that people from the Wuchen Sect will come to recruit disciples soon. Brother Jiang, you'd better stay at home. In order to safely join the sect, it's better to make more preparations!"

Qi Jiang thought for a while and found that it was indeed the case.

The Wuchen Sect is the most powerful sect in the northwest.

Unlike ordinary martial arts sects, the Wuchen sect has monks in charge!

Recruitment conditions are also much higher than other schools.

So he nodded, pointed him in the direction, and finally warned: "Be careful in everything!"

"Well, don't worry, I'm sensible, Brother Jiang, then I'm leaving!"

Qi Pingan waved his hand and jumped away.

......

In the mountains, there was silence.

Occasionally there is the sound of insects.

On a winding and rugged road, Qi Pingan looked around while walking.

This is a small valley surrounded by lush greenery and lush vegetation.

There are various trees and flowers planted on both sides of the path. From a distance, it looks green and beautiful.

This small valley is where Qi Ping'an wants to go into the mountains to collect herbs.

"Well, it seems that we are not far from the direction Brother Jiang mentioned."

Qi Ping'an looked around and assessed it secretly.

Then he quickened his pace and ran forward.

But under his feet, a vine suddenly tripped over, and Qi Pingan rolled downwards.

After thirty seconds passed.

With a "pop" sound, Qi Pingan landed heavily on an unknown object.

soft.

So that he didn't lose his life.

"hiss......"

Qi Pingan grimaced in pain.

He raised his arm and saw that the skin on his arm had been abraded, blood seeped out, and it stung a little.

There was even a burning feeling in the palm of my hand.

A gust of wind blew by, and he shivered, trembling all over.

He looked down at himself, his body stiffened, and he almost peed in fear.

Under him, a golden lion was lying on the ground with its arms and legs spread out, staring at him with a pair of eyes as big as copper bells, with a fierce expression.

Qi Ping'an is desperate

This was my first time in the mountains. How could I be so unlucky?

He wanted to run, so he used his hands and feet to crawl out.

But all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained out, and he was so limp that he couldn't exert any strength at all.

So that the whole person froze in place, and could only look at the fierce lion in front of him with frightened eyes.

The golden-scaled lion, which transformed into its original form, looked at the villain who appeared in front of him, licked his tongue, and revealed his cold fangs.

It opened its bloody mouth and exposed its sharp teeth, as if it wanted to devour people.

"Gudong!"

Qi Pingan swallowed.

I wanted to beg for mercy, but my throat seemed to be blocked by water-soaked cotton and I couldn't make any sound.

The golden-scaled lion calculated secretly.

This is the third month since he came to this main road.

The people in front of him were the second group of aborigines he had ever seen.

Thinking of the first batch of aboriginal people, when he proposed the conditions to accept them as disciples, he promised in words but actually violated them in secret.

Thinking of this, the golden-scaled lion became extremely angry.

When it saw another human coming to its door, it couldn't help it!

Sticking out his scarlet tongue, he gently licked his sharp teeth over and over again.

It wants to swallow the human beings in front of it into its belly and eat them clean!

As soon as this thought came up, the golden-scaled lion felt a warmth in his abdomen.

That's the wound healing.

The golden-scaled lion was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Could it be that the spiritual energy it has absorbed in the past three months has taken effect?

But it circulated around the body without any special changes.

This kind of change is really too strange.

Just when the golden-scaled lion was confused, Qi Ping'an's hand that was tightly clenched into a fist suddenly dropped a drop of blood.

The blood dripped on the golden-scaled lion, melted quickly, and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the golden-scaled lion felt a warm feeling in his abdomen.

What kind of blood is this that can help him recover from his injuries quickly? !

It's so useful, I wonder if my body will fully recover if I eat it.

The golden-scaled lion stared at Qi Ping'an with sharp eyes and licked his lips excitedly.

Seeing the hungry beast in front of him, Qi Pingan's heart sank to the bottom.

He could clearly see that the beast wanted to eat him, but he couldn't resist at all.

Qi Pingan closed his eyes in despair and let the beast bite.

But he didn't expect that the beast in front of him didn't bite his throat, but instead opened his mouth to speak.

"I don't eat you."

Eating him at once will not solve all the problems, and fishing in the lake is not a wise move.

Hearing the beast speak, Qi Pingan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the beast in front of him in disbelief.

Yaoshou, the beast... did it speak? !

Qi Pingan couldn't believe his ears.
