wind and snow

Xiao Qi will always remember the first time he met Ji Xian, as if it was engraved on the annual rings of time. Even though the two of them have experienced so many people and things later, this memory is still clearly and well preserved in the In Xiao Qi's mind, it was as fresh as ever.

At that time, Xiao Qi was being hunted down by a fierce and terrifying tiger demon. He didn't know where he was or why he was being hunted down. He only knew that he had to keep running. When you get down, you will be overtaken by the monsters behind you.

Xiao Qi's nerves have always been highly tense, and this simple and brutal pursuit and escape seems to never end.

I don't know how long it took before Xiao Qi was forced to stop, staring desperately at the towering cliffs in front of him, with a chill in his heart.

I don't know why, but he ran to a dead end!

Soon, the terrifying tiger demon chased after him, and Xiao Qi turned around in horror, trembling all over his body uncontrollably.Xiao Qi wanted to escape, but his body seemed to be frozen, he was stuck in place and couldn't move, he had to watch helplessly as a huge sharp claw with many spikes came straight towards his cheek——

At the moment when Xiao Qi was about to be hit, he woke up suddenly, sat up and gasped for breath, before he fully recovered, he heard a gentle and strange voice, "Are you awake? "

Xiao Qi was startled, subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and at the same time curled up into a ball, shrinking back in fear.

"Don't be afraid, it's all right." Ji Xian smiled softly and comforted him softly.

Xiao Qi looked around warily, and found that the two of them were staying in a cave, the cave was very dark, only a few rays of moonlight came in from the entrance of the cave, sprinkled on Ji Xian's face, illuminating his soft and peaceful outline.

And Ji Xian's voice was more like possessing magical power, like a trickle flowing through his heart, making Xiao Qi relax unconsciously.

Even though it was just a stranger meeting for the first time, Xiao Qi felt inexplicably at ease.

Xiao Qi opened his eyes wide and asked cautiously: "Who are you? Why am I here?"

"Do you remember what happened before?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qi thought about it carefully, but his head was very dizzy, as heavy as if his whole body would be crushed.Xiao Qi rubbed his temples painfully, and some cruel and bloody memory fragments flashed through his mind.

After a while, Xiao Qi finally remembered what happened before.

It turned out that it was not a dream just now!But what actually happened!A group of monsters broke into their village, plundered and burned everywhere, and the last scene before he lost consciousness was a bloody sharp claw rushing toward his face.

Xiao Qi grabbed Ji Xian's sleeve excitedly, and asked eagerly, "You saved me? Where are my parents?"

Hearing this, Ji Xian fell silent for an instant.Xiao Qi looks to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. Although his facial features are beginning to look handsome, he still carries the childishness and heroism unique to his age. He should be at the age of high spirits, but he...

Ji Xian looked at the frail young man in front of him, turned his head a little unbearably, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, when I arrived, the whole village had been slaughtered, only you survived..."

Xiao Qi had an ominous premonition in his heart, and when he heard Ji Xian's words, he felt as if he had been sentenced to death. He froze and froze in place. His lips parted slightly, but he couldn't utter a complete syllable for a long time. Come.

"My condolences." Ji Xian patted Xiao Qi's shoulder and said in a low voice.

Ji Xian thought Xiao Qi would cry, but the young man in front of him just bit his lips tightly, his eyes were red, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

Ji Xian sighed, walked to the entrance of the cave and sat down with his back to Xiao Qi, leaving enough personal space for him to digest this huge and unfortunate news.

But what Ji Xian didn't expect was that this thin boy was far stronger than he imagined.

Ji Xian was meditating at the entrance of the cave when he suddenly heard a series of footsteps.Xiao Qi went to him and knelt down, raised his head and asked: "Are you a god? I remember that I was seriously injured before I fell into a coma, but now I am fine except for some soreness... It is you Did I heal?"

Ji Xian's gaze was as calm and gentle as the moonlight in the middle of the night: He smiled, and replied softly: "The trauma on your body was indeed healed by me, but I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary cultivator. Gao, it's not as powerful as you imagined... the technique of Qihuang is only superficial."

Xiao Qi was silent for a while, and then said: "My name is Xiao Qi, and I pray for blessings."

Ji Xian raised his eyebrows, quietly waiting for the other party's next words.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi knelt down in front of Ji Xian in the next moment, staring straight at Ji Xian, his eyes were black and bright, like the shining stars in the night sky, and his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, "Xianjun, please accept me as your servant." only."

Ji Xian was shocked, and quickly leaned forward to help Xiao Qi up, but was dodged by the other party.

Xiao Qi's gaze was full of determination, and he repeated loudly, "Xianjun, I want to learn magic from you."

"You get up first." Ji Xian pulled Xiao Qi up, and the two sat facing each other. After pondering for a moment, he asked seriously, "Why do you want to learn magic?"

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes, without any hesitation, he gritted his teeth with deep hatred and said: "I want to avenge my parents."

Ji Xian frowned slightly, "What else?"

Xiao Qi froze for a moment, then said again: "I want to become stronger."

Hearing this answer, the image he saw Xiao Qi for the first time flashed through Ji Xian's mind. Xiao Qi was lying powerlessly on the ground, blood was all over his body, his face was completely blurred, but he held his breath. Fainted to death, he still struggled to crawl forward, trying in vain to avoid the fatal blow from the monster behind him.

Such a strong willpower, as well as that strong desire for life, moved Ji Xian, but at the same time made him feel a little uneasy for no reason.

Ji Xian sighed slightly, "Sorry, I can't accept you."

Xiao Qi asked in astonishment: "Why?"

Ji Xian didn't answer Xiao Qi's question directly, but patted the other person's shoulder gently, and said: "You want to learn magic, I can teach you some simple self-defense moves, but I can't take you as an apprentice..." Ji Xian His voice was soft and soft, but with a hint of irresistible firmness, "I'm used to walking the rivers and lakes alone, and I'm not used to having people around me."

Ji Xian is not lying. Over the years, he has never accepted an apprentice. Firstly, he finds it troublesome, and secondly, he has not met the right person because of his lack of fate.

Well...he still prefers the kind of well-behaved and obedient children, like Xiao Qi, who is very troublesome at first glance. It is okay to be small now, but when he becomes stronger in the future, it is easy to be unruly.

Xiao Qi bit his lower lip tightly and called out uneasily, "Xianjun, I—"

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Ji Xian's soft voice, "Don't call me Xianjun, it's too embarrassing for me. My surname is Ji, and my character is Zixu. I'm just an unknown Taoist priest." What are your plans? Do you have any other relatives? I can take you to him and teach you some self-defense spells along the way."

Ji Xian has a unique temperament, gentle and elegant, which allows Xiao Qi to easily let go of his guard and trust him unconditionally.But at this moment, Xiao Qi also clearly felt a faint sense of alienation in Ji Xian's whole body, like the bright full moon behind him, the light emitted quietly sprinkled every inch of land, but it would never elusive.

Thinking of being separated from Ji Xian again soon, Xiao Qi couldn't suppress the uneasiness and fear in his heart, but he tried to pretend to be very calm on the surface, not wanting Ji Xian to see his fear.

Xiao Qi looked straight at Ji Xian, and after a long time, he replied coldly: "I have no family anymore, and I have nowhere to go now." After thinking for a while, he said again: "I want to go to Nanyeling, you can Take me there?"

Ji Xian asked in surprise, "What are you doing there?"

"The group of monsters who killed my parents live in Nanyeling, I want to seek revenge from them!"

"..." Ji Xian was speechless for a moment, "Why are you seeking revenge on them? Obviously you are going to die."

Xiao Qi replied stubbornly: "I just want to go there. If you don't take me there, I will go there myself in the future."

Although Xiao Qi looks much more mature than the boys of the same age, he is still a child after all, and he thinks that he hides his emotions very well, but Ji Xian can't guess the little thoughts in his heart.

It's just that this kid's temper is too stubborn. Would you bet that he will soften his heart?Bet he won't die?How could he be threatened so easily by others, Xianyun Xianjun?

Ji Xian sighed helplessly, and said, "That's all, I happen to be going to Nanyeling too, so you should follow me these few days."

Hearing this, Xiao Qi was overjoyed, showing his first faint smile after meeting Ji Xian, "Thank you, Xianjun."
