Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Qin Xiao didn't say anything, and Dong Muqi smiled happily.

"Qin Xiao, right? Because you arrived late, we have to speed up our journey." Dong Muqi spoke slowly, thought of something, said "Oh", and added.

"In fact, someone followed you after you left home. According to him, you went the wrong way 36 times, turned 22 times, and went the wrong way 10 times when you asked for directions..."

Dong Muqi couldn't help but burst out laughing as he spoke: "So actually you are almost a week late."

Qin Xiao: ...

Blame me?

Since someone was following you, why didn't you say anything?

Dong Muqi seemed to see what he was thinking, and replied with a smile: "We have a rule that you can only show up when your life is in danger. Although the place you are going to is very dangerous, your life is not safe for the time being."

Dong Muqi said this and smiled even more happily as he thought of something.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes slightly. He didn't feel anyone following him. It seemed that his vigilance and sensitivity had decreased.

But he said that he would only show up when there was a life-threatening situation...

Could the vine that night belong to that person?

Qin Xiao remained calm, thought about it, said nothing, and just nodded.

"But we are going to that place now." Dong Muqi said, walking towards the edge of the cliff.

Qin Xiao didn't understand why and didn't follow him immediately. He just stood there and watched him take a step in the air and fall into the cliff.

...Are we going to the underworld?

Qin Xiao couldn't help but complain, walked to the edge of the cliff, and leaned over slightly to look.

This mountain is quite high. Standing here, there is fog and clouds below and it is impossible to see the man's whereabouts clearly.

Qin Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank as he saw something moving quickly towards him from below. The air currents around him began to change, and it was obvious that the thing was quite large.

In order to prevent himself from being blown away by the wind, Qin Xiao stood up, took a few steps back, and looked at the edge of the cliff with a frown.

Suddenly, a huge creature jumped out from the bottom of the cliff, with a pair of huge wings spread out, and its reddish-brown feathers sparkling in the sun.

Qin Xiao raised his head and sized up the bird-like creature, and discovered that it was a magical beast.

Magic beasts are a kind of creatures unique to this world. They are divided into three types: high, medium, and low. There are great differences between the three types. High-level magic beasts are few and powerful, and there are many medium-level magic beasts, but the difference between them can also be regarded as a world of difference. Low-level magic beasts are not strong in combat and have a gentle personality. Compared with the first two, they are easier to be tamed.

Qin Xiao saw the full appearance of the bird: its whole body was covered with long and soft feathers, and the reddish-brown feathers were draped over its body, looking very soft, and on its head there was an inverted teardrop-shaped blue crown.

The cuckoo bird has a long gray beak and long, colorful feathers on its tail, which makes it look particularly flashy.

Qin Xiao had seen Qin Jinyi mention it when he was studying. He said it was called Guji Bird, a low-level magic beast. This magic beast was huge and docile, very friendly to people, but its cry was sharp and strange, sounding like "guji guji", so it was called Guji Bird.

This name is really random. Qin Xiao calmly watched the big bird slowly descend and stand firm in front of him.

The docile orange eyes stared at Qin Xiao, as if curious.

Qin Xiao saw Dong Muqi on the back of the bird. The guy nodded his chin, motioning him to get on, and looked like he was watching a show.

It seemed as if he was sure that Qin Xiao couldn't get up there alone.

Qin Xiao looked at the Cuckoo Bird and had to admit that the bird was indeed very large. He estimated that it was more than 10 meters high from the ground to its back, which was indeed a bit difficult to climb.

Qin Xiao put the two knives on his back and observed the bird carefully.

This bird is not like a wall or cliff where you can insert a knife to gain leverage. Moreover, its feathers look very smooth, so it would be difficult to control. Moreover, birds usually shed feathers severely. It would be really embarrassing if you struggled for a long time and got a mouthful of feathers but still couldn't get up.

Qin Xiao thought for a moment, and resolutely used the simplest method - he raised his head, looked at Dong Muqi on the bird's back, and said with full energy: "I can't get up."

Dong Muqi raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "You were not very skilled just now? Can't you find a way to get up by yourself?"

Qin Xiao didn't feel embarrassed at all: "I didn't expect it."

Dong Muqi: ...

Aren't you too honest?

Dong Muqi saw that he was still calm and wanted to tease him, so he smiled and said, "Then beg me, I will help you--"

"Please, take me up."

Before Dong Muqi finished speaking, Qin Xiao had already spoken without any hesitation or hesitation.

Dong Muqi: ...

Fine.

This kid is obviously not an ordinary person. Both his skills and his brain circuits are not something an ordinary child can do.

Dong Muqi did not go down as Qin Xiao imagined, but made a gesture and raised his hand.

Qin Xiao felt as if there were suddenly invisible things around him, dragging him up into the air, his feet off the ground, as if he was being held by an invisible big hand. Qin Xiao did not struggle, and just relaxed as Dong Muqi pulled him into the air and put him beside him.

As soon as Qin Xiao landed, his feet slipped and he sank directly into the soft feathers of the Cuckoo Bird, with only his head exposed. He was still sinking deeper and deeper, as if he was wrapped in quicksand.

Qin Xiao had no way to gain leverage, so he could only try to relax his body and reduce his sinking speed.

Dong Muqi grabbed Qin Xiao's collar, lifted him up with one hand, and put him back on the back of the Guji Bird.

Qin Xiao sat down gently, felt the big bird's back feathers, found a suitable posture and maintained it carefully.

"Weren't you quite amazing just now? How come now you're like a disabled person and can't even sit properly?" Dong Muqi teased.

Qin Xiao remained calm: "Please don't insult the disabled."

Dong Muqi: ...

you win.

Dong Muqi didn't say anything else. The Guji bird flapped its wings and flew high. Watching the surrounding scenery change and feeling the surging air flow around it made people unconsciously feel a little excited.

Even in his previous life, Qin Xiao had rarely been to the sky, and most of the time he was walking on the road with his feet on the ground. So when he saw this moving scenery on the Guji Bird, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Dong Muqi felt the emotional changes of the child around her and was a little surprised, but she could understand it. After all, he was still a child. Even if he behaved maturely, he was only about six years old.

I have to say, flying is fast. It took less than two hours to reach the destination.

This is a very hidden village sandwiched between several mountains. It is very large. Qin Xiao looked around and saw waterfalls, trees and other things. This place even has a barrier.

Qin Xiao and his companions "crashed" in from the cliff of a mountain. When entering the barrier, Qin Xiao clearly felt the shackles, as if restraining something.

While in the air, Qin Xiao also saw a few sparse cuckoo birds flying in, with people sitting on them.

Finally, the Cuckoo Bird landed in a large area that looked like a training ground. There were many children who looked the same age as him nearby. There was also an adult man with an extremely gentle appearance standing in the field.

The man looked at them with a smile, and his gaze made Qin Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.

Qin Xiao frowned calmly and followed Dong Muqi to the ground.

Dong Muqi looked at the man, nodded at him, and pushed Qin Xiao in front of him: "Yuhuarong City, Qin family."

The man nodded, looked at the notebook in his hand, picked up a pen and wrote something on it: "Yes."

The man turned his head to look at Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao met his gaze and couldn't help but frowning.

This man looked more than gentle, he looked almost like a demon. His narrow phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, his eyes were raised, and his nose was straight, giving him a kind of androgynous beauty.

The man was dressed in red, as if he was on fire. Although he had a slender figure, the aura he exuded could not be underestimated.

Dong Muqi greeted them and waved his hand: "I've sent you off, it's time to go." As he said that, as if he didn't want to stay here for a moment, without any pause, he nimbly jumped onto the back of the cuckoo bird and flew away.

The man watched Dong Muqi leave, then turned to Qin Xiao: "Name?"

"Qin Xiao."

"How many brothers and sisters are there in your family? Which one are you?"

"Four, third."

The man narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Really."

Qin Xiao didn't understand what he meant and looked at him in confusion.

"Hello, my name is Feng Yaoshan. From today on, I will be your mentor. Go and stand with them first." The man's smile was very gentle, but Qin Xiao felt uncomfortable as if he was being pricked by needles.

Qin Xiao didn't show anything unusual. He nodded and walked towards the group of children.

"There are quite a lot of children this year. I wonder how many of them will survive..."

Feng Yaoshan's murmuring voice fell into Qin Xiao's ears. Qin Xiao paused slightly, but did not stop.

Qin Xiao looked here and there. Children usually like to talk to people they can talk to. He was a few days late, which meant that some children had arrived a few days ago. They gathered in such a short time. Either they hit it off at first sight, or... they saw something different and couldn't help but gather around to watch the fun.

"Why is your skin white? It's different from ours?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"Ah? Is this disease contagious?!"

"This... let's stay away from him. It would be bad if we get infected."

“But he’s so handsome!”

"What's the point of looking good? Would you be happy if you accidentally got sick?"

"You... why are you glaring at me?! I didn't say anything wrong... Aren't you just different from us?"

"That's right! You're acting like a monster, and I didn't say anything—"

"..."

I have to say that children are pure in everything, including malice.

But it's normal.

Qin Xiao looked at the white-haired child who was suddenly moved away, and had no intention of going forward, even though it seemed that he had reached his limit.

Mo Hanyu stared coldly at the boy in front of him.

Here it is again...

He had known it long ago, and sure enough, nothing had changed.

The noisy sounds around me continued to pour into my ears.

The complex emotions of rejection, uneasiness, disgust, etc. from his peers kept coming into his ears amidst the chatter, making him feel irritated and uneasy.

Mo Hanyu was wearing a hat, but even so, the obvious physiological differences still caused surprise among those who were around.

Originally he was staying quietly aside, but with a scream from an unknown person, he successfully attracted the attention of others. Seeing this group of strange children pointing and talking at him, Mo Hanyu felt extremely uneasy.

This made him feel like a wild beast that had strayed into the human world, being attacked by different people with the same strange looks and the same harsh words.

Mo Hanyu closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down his pounding heart, and controlled himself not to do anything to hurt others.

Suddenly, as if a flash of inspiration came to him, Mo Hanyu seemed to have caught some information. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw that familiar figure.

Mo Hanyu seemed to have found a life-saving straw and wanted to push through the crowd to find him. But the children around him were uneasy and excited at the same time when they saw his sudden action, and started to push him.

Mo Hanyu was suddenly pushed, and the emotions in his heart were like a cup full of tea, which was shaken suddenly and the tea spilled out.

At that moment, he couldn't control his violent temper.

In just a moment, the attribute shone brightly without warning, and the biting cold swept across the entire training ground. Before anyone present could react, the crowd around them had already been frozen.

Mo Hanyu only felt a chill passing through his body, and when he looked again, he was surrounded by ice sculptures.

Mo Hanyu didn't expect that he did such a thing just because he lost control of his emotions for a moment.

What happened to Mo Hanyu naturally attracted the attention of all those who were not frozen.

Feng Yaoshan's pupils shrank slightly, and surprise flashed across his eyes: "Evil cultivator? Or is he born that way?"

Qin Xiao turned around and was a little surprised to see that the group of people around Mo Hanyu were frozen.

This kid really has talent.

Qin Xiao looked at the ice sculpture beside Mo Hanyu. Qin Xiao would not think that the elders of other children had not told them how to practice, as they had also experienced awakening. Obviously, the child next to him had also practiced. Although he did not know whether he had worked as hard as he did, he did not even react to Mo Hanyu's sudden attack. And until now, he had been frozen for dozens of seconds and had not yet thawed the ice on his body.

Mo Hanyu succeeded in making the place quiet all of a sudden, and everyone looked at him blankly.

Those gazes were like searchlights, making Mo Hanyu feel hot on his back. He quickly dodged left and right, carefully trying to get out of these ice sculptures and ran towards Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao:……?

Won't you come over? ! !

Qin Xiao's cry in his heart obviously could not be transmitted to Mo Hanyu, and he could only watch the child running towards him happily.

By the way, all kinds of eyes rested on him.

Feeling that he was also being baptized by all kinds of gazes, Qin Xiao could only sigh helplessly and could not blame Mo Hanyu.

"Qin Xiao." Mo Hanyu looked at him with sparkling eyes, his excitement and happiness visible to the naked eye, "You are here too?"

Qin Xiao: "...Isn't this nonsense? If I'm not here, is the person in front of you a ghost?"

Although Qin Xiao's tone was not right, Mo Hanyu was still very happy, no matter whether it was Qin Xiao as a person or his attitude.

Although he did not express Qin Xiao's attitude towards him, he was very happy about it in his heart. Qin Xiao did not regard him as a patient, nor did he regard him as an alien. In Qin Xiao's eyes, he seemed to be the same as other people of the same age, and there was no difference.

This realization made Mo Hanyu feel very comfortable and excited. This was the first time he had this feeling on a person. It made him feel warm involuntarily and want to get closer.

Especially when compared with those little brats just now.

So Mo Hanyu smiled embarrassedly without any dissatisfaction.

Feng Yaoshan looked at the expressionless Qin Xiao, then looked at the children who were frozen into ice sculptures by Mo Hanyu. He squinted his eyes and smiled with interest.
