Zhuxian Ertianhuo

Yan Hui did not forget to remind him: "Xiao'an, the most important thing for this trip is to protect yourself, remember not to reveal your wealth, so as not to attract the attention of bad people. Also, the exercises I teach you must not be on the right path. in front of people."

"Ah, I see." The uncle kept caring, and he should be happy in his heart, but at this moment, he felt indescribably uncomfortable and even a little bit helpless.I don't know what's wrong with my uncle in the past few days. He has changed his usual appearance and is always nagging. I have said these things about three times, and I can only listen to the teaching seriously every time.

But who knows, how can any parent not worry about their children?

"The dry rations and silver are already in the package, don't lose them, or you will have to fight the autumn wind all the way in the future." Yan Hui hung the package on Yan Xiaoan's body, and patted it lightly.

He took out a golden bell from his bosom and hung it on Yan Xiaoan's waist. Yan Xiaoan looked at it and felt very strange. He tiptoed twice and walked a few steps. 'Voice.

Yan Xiaoan smiled but seemed a bit reluctant, took the bell in his hand and shook it for a while, but it could be seen that he still liked it very much.

Yan Hui habitually touched his troubled head, his eyes were gentle and far-reaching, as if he saw something memorable in his figure.

After a while, Sui Sheng said: "It seems a bit like a little girl again."

"Ah!" Yan Xiaoan was taken aback, thinking it was true. "Hahaha" But then it also made him laugh.As soon as he moved, the bell swayed, and the melodious sound followed.

The sad atmosphere of parting seems to have been eased a lot by the melodious bell and a burst of laughter.

"This bell is regarded as a token, and it is given to the person from Qing Yun Sect."

"Oh..." Yan Xiaoan lowered her head again, fiddling with the bell, looking a little lost, not sure if it was parting or something else.

Yan smiled back, and after a while, took out three objects from her arms and put them on the table.Pass one of the letters to Yan Xiaoan.

"This is a letter for that person. Remember, his name is Gui Li, and he is also called Zhang Xiaofan. He lives in Dazhu Peak of Qingyun Mountain. You must deliver it to him in person. There must be no difference." Yan Hui's expression was serious, and his voice was extremely solemn. .

Yan Xiaoan nodded heavily, took the envelope, and put it close to her body.Although Yan Hui has given too many instructions recently, and his language has become a little pale, but Yan Xiaoan still knows that this matter is definitely not trivial.

Uncle is a member of the Demon Cult, since the person named Zhang Xiaofan knew Uncle, he might also be related to the Demon Cult, and Qing Yunmen is the leader of the righteous way, although he doesn’t seem to be a member of the Demon Cult, once the news is leaked, just relying on Anyone who has the inheritance of the Devil's Cult must die without a whole body.

After Yan Xiaoan put away the envelope, he touched it again, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned his attention to the other two items.

Yan glanced back at Yan Xiaoan, smiled slightly, waved his right hand, a black light flashed on the table, and flew straight to Yan Xiaoan.

Yan Xiaoan was startled, took a step back, and found that black light stopped in front of him, and took a closer look.It was an animal tooth that was less than a foot thick and gleamed with black light. It was bent into a terrible arc as a whole, tapering gradually from the end to the tip, just like a curved needle.

With sharp eyes, Yan Xiaoan immediately recognized the fangs of the ancient golden flower python, and immediately grabbed them happily.

"When you go out, you always need one or two things for self-defense. It won't be long before you can reach the repellent realm. This is the poisonous fang of the golden flower ancient python you brought back. Now it has been sacrificed and turned into a magic weapon. It’s very high, but the snake venom on it is still very powerful, and you can be completely immune to it, so it’s perfect for self-defense.”

Yan Xiaoan was overjoyed, and finally had a magic weapon of her own. Before, she always envied her uncle flying to the sky, but now she is almost ready.

Yan Xiaoan didn't test the magic weapon of fangs right away, he knew his own realm the most.Although we are approaching the state of repelling objects, this state is quite different from the previous state, and it is an important watershed and hurdle. Only after passing this state can one be regarded as a real practitioner.There are many people like Yan Xiaoan who have just arrived at the Exorcism Realm and have been stuck for several years, ten years, or decades, so Yan Xiaoan is not in a hurry.

Yan Xiaoan carefully touched and touched, looked and looked, and reluctantly put it in the sleeve, the size was just right.When I looked up, my uncle handed over another green medicine bottle.

"There are three elixirs in here, both for detoxification and healing, they are the best, let's take them together."

Yan Xiaoan was startled, and said in surprise, "Uncle, you haven't eaten any!"

"My injury has healed a long time ago." Seeing his appearance, Yan Hui didn't touch his head, maybe because it was too prickly, instead he pinched his pink face.

Yan Xiaoan chuckled, "That's great." Putting the medicine bottle in his arms, he glanced around and found something on the table.It turned out that Yan Hui took the medicine bottle out of his sleeve.So what is this third thing?There was an uncle with half of his body blocking Yan Xiaoan, who couldn't see clearly, Yan Xiaoan was curious, so he stretched his head to look.

Yan Hui reached out and brought it in front of Yan Xiaoan, even shaking it.Yan Xiaoan was surprised when she saw it, it was actually a pendant. The pendant was a strange red jade ring in the shape of a dragon with simple lines. A red thread just passed through the dragon's eyes to form a pendant.After receiving it, Yan Xiaoan looked up at his uncle suspiciously, "This..."

"Hehe, that's right, it's the jade ring you brought back."

If I didn't take out Yan Xiaoan today, I would almost forget it. At that time, I just brought it back from the ruins of Shiwan Dashan. I planned to give it to my uncle, but I didn't expect to pass out before I came back. Basically forget about it.

"Uncle, don't you like jade? You can keep it for yourself." Yan Xiaoan handed it back again.

"I already have something to play with, so I don't need this. You brought it back, so I leave it for you to wear." As he spoke, he took the pendant from Xiaoan's hand, and put it on his neck with his own hands.

Yan Xiaoan touched the jade ring through his clothes, and could vaguely feel its unevenness.

Yan Hui took a deep breath, looked at the gloomy weather outside, and after a while, suddenly said: "It's getting late, let's go quickly."

Yan Xiaoan was shocked, and instantly widened her eyes, the momentary happiness and joy just now were swept away, and the sadness that had been lurking for a long time surged up, and said in a low voice: "I'm leaving soon! …”

The voice was choked with sobs.

Yan Hui patted Yan Xiaoan on the back, caressed his back, and half pushed and half pushed him outside the door, "Let's go, come back earlier, don't cry all the time, act like a man."

The autumn wind outside the door blew Yan Xiaoan's mind, and felt even more sad.

It has been a few days, although I have been prepared in my heart, but when I left, I could no longer restrain the sadness of parting, sobbed softly, and looked back at my uncle reluctantly, two lines of tears could not stop falling down.

"Let's go, someone will take you away after crossing the stone bridge." Yan Hui's voice was gentle, not as severe as Yan Xiaoan expected, he could still feel the warmth contained in this voice in the cold autumn wind.

Yan Xiaoan gritted her teeth, turned around and left, wiping away her tears with her sleeve.I was so scared that I didn't dare to look back.

Yan Hui stood at the door, watching Yan Xiaoan go down the steps step by step and walk away.

A cloudy sky is like a low mood in a person.The cold wind made Yan Xiaoan tighten her new clothes unconsciously.

The first time Yan Xiaoan left home for a long trip, he was going to a rich place, a place with countless caves and blessed lands - Zhongzhou.And the final destination was the famous Qingyunmen, he had to leave, in order to prolong his life, and even to return to his hometown in the future!

Xiao An wiped away her tears and left without looking back, walking toward the stone bridge in a dazed manner according to her uncle's instructions

I don't know when I raised my head suddenly, and I have already reached the edge of the stone bridge.

Sure enough, across the stone bridge, even though the sky was gloomy, I could see a carriage on the other side of the bridge from a long distance away.

But when he saw the person waiting for him clearly, he was stunned.

A carriage was parked behind the two-foot-wide stone bridge, and the carriage was densely packed with baskets of various sizes. The baskets were covered with sackcloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside the baskets.The horse is quietly grazing with its head down.On the contrary, the owner of the carriage was standing tall and greeting Yan Xiaoan vigorously.

The more enthusiastic this person is, the more afraid Yan Xiaoan is!

This person is in his 40s, tall and tall, with a rough face, five big and three thick, and a big wine bag hanging on his waist.Seeing Yan Xiaoan from afar, he kept waving for Yan Xiaoan to come over, with a high voice, and the horses pulling the cart looked up with eager and startled expressions.

Yan Xiaoan's expression was very strange, and he thought: Uncle's careful instructions are enough to prove how dangerous the road ahead is, but how come such a "dangerous" thing happened before we left Qilidong...

This person is none other than Uncle Long!That grumpy Uncle Long who was stolen by Yan Xiaoan to eat the black heart fruit!

Yan Xiaoan secretly groaned in his heart.Unexpectedly, my uncle entrusted his first stop to this person, and he was 120 unwilling in his heart.

I don't know how he will treat himself.

Yan Xiaoan stepped forward, took a deep breath, and said timidly, "Hello, Uncle Long."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Long laughed and looked very hearty, and said: "Okay! Why are you here, hurry up and get in the carriage." He pointed to the carriage, "Find a seat for yourself."

Embarrassed at last, Yan Xiaoan bit the bullet, stepped into the car, squeezed a seat among the baskets, and sat down quietly with her bundle in her arms.

Seeing that Yan Xiaoan was sitting down, Uncle Long didn't say anything, so he collected the fodder.Sitting in the carriage, he whipped his whip and set off.

The carriage bumped for a while, heading north all the way, and it was time to leave the hometown where I had lived for 11 years.Yan Xiaoan swayed in the carriage for a while, but he has cultivated Taoism since he was a child, so he doesn't care about these small things.His eyes swept over the rows of baskets, he lifted the sackcloth, and looked in through the holes in the baskets, it should undoubtedly be black hearts.Yan Xiaoan couldn't help wondering: Isn't it the season for the black heart fruit to mature long ago?Moreover, the black heart fruit is soft and perishable, why is Uncle Long's fruit still not rotten?I poked it with my finger, and it turned out that the fruit was still in the best period of ripeness.

Yan Xiaoan looked at the sky and counted the days. According to this speed, it would take at least three or four days to reach Longhu City in Youzhou.He didn't want to maintain such an embarrassing atmosphere all the way, so he hesitated and asked, "Uncle Long, why are your fruits almost ripe now? Are you going to sell fruits today?"

Unexpectedly, Uncle Long laughed again, and said: "Of course, I'm going to Longhu to sell it. As for why the fruit hasn't spoiled until now, it's all thanks to your uncle?"

"My uncle?" Yan Xiaoan was startled, and even more confused.

"Haha, when I went to your house that day, your uncle lent me two stones, and asked me to pick off the black heart fruit and put them together with the stone. Needless to say, the stone looked like ice, and it looked like ice. It’s okay to use a piece of ice, and it’s frozen all the black hearts, no, it’s not broken until now.” He couldn’t hide his laughter as he spoke.

Yan Xiaoan was speechless for a while, and thought: How could you go to my house with such good intentions? Most likely, you asked your uncle to settle the blame for me stealing the fruit. Fortunately, my uncle gave it away with two 'Xuanbing stones'.But thinking of my uncle felt sad again.

"This time, when I go to Longhu, Youzhou, I am the only one who sells black heart fruit, and I will definitely sell it at a good price, hahaha." It was difficult to hide the excitement in my tone.

It seems that Uncle Long's attitude has changed so much because of this incident.Speaking of which, it must have been my uncle who first went to my house to find the trouble, otherwise A Lei and Zhuang Zhuang would have told me a few days ago how they were beaten.

Thinking of his playmate Yan Xiaoan, he couldn't help feeling ashamed, and he just left like this, and he didn't know when he would come back.And he didn't even know the real names of A Lei and Zhuang Zhuang.Maybe even I wouldn’t believe it when I said it, Ah Lei’s so strong is just her pet name.Uncle Long, Yan Xiaoan only knew that his surname was Long.

Now that the five clans are in a chaotic period of reform, the great wizard wants the people of the five clans to fully integrate into the Central Plains and abandon some customs that were almost primitive before.And since the five ethnic groups communicated with the Central Plains, intermarriage is not uncommon, so the name of the child becomes a problem.So the great wizard encouraged everyone to transliterate their original surnames into Chinese characters and choose Chinese names for better integration.Of course, the words of the great wizard are forbidden, but because this situation appeared late, it caused a big confusion of names.Perhaps it is impossible to improve without dozens or hundreds of years.

Because most of the five ethnic groups are originally Miao people, and even the great wizards were originally the great wizards of the Miao ethnic group, so the Miao ethnic group has the most customs among the five ethnic groups.Even Yan Hui gave Yan Xiaoan a seedling name, each seedling name has only one word, and Yan Xiaoan's seedling name is "An".

It was still very uncomfortable to leave the house just now, and at this time, being disturbed by Uncle Long's appearance, Yan Xiaoan's loss and sadness of parting were finally diluted a little.

So many years later, Yan Xiaoan recalled this incident and insisted that Uncle Long took him to Youzhou was deliberately arranged by his uncle.Because even though my uncle has been telling me not to go on the road alone to attract the attention of bad guys, I can still walk alone from Qilidong to Youzhou.

As the carriage moved forward, the familiar scenery on both sides gradually faded away.One tree, two trees, a building on stilts, and finally passed by an adobe house, and finally left Qilidong.

Day, still not sunny.

Yan Xiaoan hugged the bundle and looked at the dark sky, hiding in the middle of the basket, shaking back and forth, still so small.

Along the way, the mountain road is bumpy and winding, and it is not wide. It is said that only one person can pass through the mountain pass in the past.This new mountain road was built decades ago, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources. During the process, the mountain cracks and rocks are probably indispensable for practitioners.This road leads all the way to the residence of the five ethnic groups in the north, and is also the gateway to the five ethnic groups and the Central Plains. The first transit point this time is Tianshui Village.

A day later, Yan Xiaoan arrived at Tianshui Village as scheduled. Tianshui Village has close contacts with Youzhou people, and a quarter of the residents are from Youzhou people.

Perhaps it was because Uncle Long was too eager, Yan Xiaoan and Uncle Long did not stay in Tianshui Village for long, they only rested for one night, prepared enough dry food and water, and continued to set off.

※※※

To the west of Qilidong, I don't know how far away, beside a hill.

The wild flowers and herbs have long been ruined. There are no tall trees over a century old nearby, only a few pines and cypresses that are still young. However, the young and tender trees are also starting to turn yellow in this season. When a gust of autumn wind hits, pieces of yellow leaves fall one after another.

A tall and lonely figure stood silently beside the hill, with his hands behind his back, and opposite him was a lonely tomb without a tombstone!

Maybe the world is not benevolent, but the vegetation seems to be sentimental, rustling in the merciless cold wind, clustering into a sad elegy.Time passed like water, and soon the sun was westward, and the afterglow fell.

His hair and Tsing Yi fluttered with the cold wind, he just silently faced the lonely grave, intoxicated by the setting sun alone.Like the surrounding trees, motionless, without any words, like a permanent monument.

The setting sun pours down quietly through the burning clouds, and the picture seems to be frozen forever.

Suddenly, the rustling sound of feet stepping on dry grass came from behind this person, breaking the tranquility at the moment.

The person seemed to be startled, raised his brows, and turned around with his head turned. His eyes were calm in the setting sun, and he looked at the visitor quietly.

The person who came was none other than the Great Wizard in black robes. Before anyone could speak, the Great Wizard said, "Brother, just as Xiao An left, I knew you would be here."

Yan Hui smiled slightly, turned around completely, and said, "It's all after the sacrifice."

The great wizard also smiled, stepped forward, and stood side by side with Yan Hui.Then he looked at the lonely grave, with a sad expression on his face, and sighed softly.Also fell silent.

"Originally you didn't come to look for me, I still wanted to look for you." Yan Hui suddenly turned his head and said with a smile

The great wizard frowned, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Yan Hui took out two pieces of paper that had been folded in half several times from his bosom. The quality of the paper was not very good, and the ink on the front of the paper could be vaguely seen from the back.He turned sideways and handed it to the Great Wizard.

The great wizard took it and opened it without thinking too much.At the beginning, his face was quite calm, but as time went by, his complexion became more solemn, his brows were deeply furrowed, his eyes flickered, and sometimes the brows were raised, making him look very shocked.

After looking back and forth several times at the several sheets of paper, the hands of the usually steady great wizard trembled a little at the end.

Yan Hui kept looking at the great wizard, waiting calmly.

After a while, the great wizard took a deep breath, as if he had just calmed down from the shock, slowly raised his head, and said in a deep voice, "Where did this... come from?" The obvious voice of the great wizard also All trembling.

Yan replied: "Xiao An brought it back from the ruins of Shiwan Dashan." After a pause, he said again: "I was too eager at the time, and I thought it was the place where the priests of my holy religion were. Now that I think about it, Xiao An hid The place should be the altar of the ancient Wu tribe!"

The great wizard was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not wrong, this is the general outline of the inheritance of the ancient witch clan, and it has the same origin as the inheritance I have received."

Yan replied: "Originally I just wanted him to dabble in witchcraft, but there was such a coincidence that he brought back a volume of heavenly scriptures."

The great wizard frowned again, and said: "If according to what you said, most of the world's well-known cultivation methods, regardless of sect, are all derived from the heavenly scriptures handed down by your demon sect, it is only my ancient witch clan and your demon sect What does it matter?"

"It should be related," Yan Hui thought for a while, and then said: "But it probably dates back to the age of mythology, and there is no evidence for it."

The great wizard nodded and said: "Yeah, what does this have to do with us? I'm just worried about Xiao An. According to this, there are four heavenly books for him to practice alone. The heavenly books are no different from the others. I taught him so at such a young age. Much, can he handle it?"

Yan Hui smiled softly, and said: "He, he didn't take it seriously at all. He folded these two pieces of paper and used them as bookmarks. If he hadn't casually mentioned something to me a few days ago , Today I went to tidy up his room again, maybe it will be rotten in the book. Besides, how can he understand such abstruse things. "

The corner of the great wizard's mouth twitched, and then he shook his head. Well, he was just a child.

"Taoism has long said that 'the house is full of gold and jade, and nothing can keep it.' These are things outside the body, and what he can learn is his." Yan Hui looked into the distance, and the vast sunset was about to enter. "The content of the book is to It is learned slowly in life, not to mention that the things that have been handed down are the insights of the predecessors."

"The scriptures are not important, people are important."
