Yu Hongchen

At the moment when it touched Shang Lixing's forehead, Xie Liuchen's sea of ​​consciousness was shaken, and countless memory fragments poured into his mind following the touching place. After the bewildered white light faded away, what came to mind was a mountain village with lush mountains and forests scene.

There were overgrown weeds beside the gate, and several domestic dogs lowered their heads and sniffed. He felt that this place looked familiar. After looking carefully, he realized that it was the entrance of Zhoujia Village.

However, compared with the Zhoujia Village that fell and withered later, the Zhoujia Village seen at this time is surrounded by lush green trees and green hills, and it is a bit more prosperous.

There are four or five low wooden houses scattered around the entrance of the village, and a few small stools are placed in front of one of them. On the stool is a boy about eleven or twelve years old, wearing soap and green linen, looking down at the I was fascinated by reading a book, shaking my head from time to time, and reciting in a low voice.

In the afternoon, the warm sun shone brightly on his immature and pretty face, and it was faintly recognizable that it was Fu Changning when he was young.

Xie Liuchen suddenly remembered, no wonder Fu Changning said that he had seen his young self in the grave that time, it seems that he was also a child who grew up in Zhoujia Village.

At this time, a young and handsome man came in from the village gate.

When Xie Liuchen suddenly saw the figure of that person, his heart trembled, and he was elicited with the deep nostalgia that had been hidden in his heart for many years—that young man was none other than Master Nan Xing who single-handedly raised him.He was covered in dust and dust, with a tired expression, holding in his arms a little baby carved in powder and jade, sleeping peacefully.

Nan Xing hugged the child, looked around blankly, walked into the village cautiously, came to Fu Changning's side, leaned down, and asked in a gentle voice: "Little brother, is this the Zhou Family Village?"

Without raising his head, Fu Changning casually pointed to the gate not far away: "Yes, isn't that written?"

Nan Xing turned around, only to find the words Zhoujiacun hanging on the gate behind him, nodded and said: "Oh, I was in a hurry just now, but I didn't bother to look at it, it seems that this place is indeed Zhoujiacun. Excuse me, little brother , is there any extraordinary person living in the village?"

Fu Changning finally raised his head and asked, "What kind of extraordinary person?"

"That's right, um," Nan Xing thought for a while, and then changed the way of saying, "He doesn't look like an ordinary person at first glance."

Fu Changning said: "There is a very strange outsider living in our village. He is tall and tall, and has a weird temperament. I just don't know if he is the person you are looking for."

Nan Xing said: "Can you take me to find him?"

Fu Changning said: "Sure, but he is very ugly, so don't be frightened by him then."

"Well, it's okay, thank you little brother." Nan Xing nodded slightly, and followed him to the small road in the village with the child in his arms.

The path in the mountain village was repaired very flat, and the children in the village were always shy of strangers. When they saw their figures, they hid aside, kept silent, and looked at them curiously.Fu Changning is reserved by nature and considers himself a scholar, so he can't get along with these kids who only know how to play with mud.

He did not forget to hold the half-read book in his hand, and led Nan Xing away, asking in front, "Where did you come from? Why are you still holding a child in your arms? Is he your son?"

Nan Xing shook his head and said, "No, he is my master's son. Before his master died, he entrusted his newborn son to me."

Fu Changning asked again: "Are you looking for that strange uncle to avenge your master?"

Nan Xing said: "No."

Fu Changning asked curiously, "What is that for?"

Nan Xing shook his head and didn't reply to him again.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Fu Changning felt bored, so he didn't ask any more questions, and said in his heart: "Well, this man is mysterious, and he is holding a half-dead baby, so there must be something weird."

Children at this age are the most sensitive in nature and often want to participate in the topics of adults. Besides, Fu Changning has been reading and writing since childhood. Compared with other dull children in the village, he has a superior temperament. With the appearance of being willing to speak clearly, there is a bit of curiosity in my heart.

Xie Liuchen followed them with his eyes, but thought in his heart: It turns out that Fu Changning was not born a treacherous and evil person. He was also innocent and ignorant of the world when he was a child. Become distorted and selfish?

Walking to the foot of the mountain, Fu Changning yelled towards the white mountain, "Uncle Weird, someone said he wanted to find you."

Before the words were finished, a tall and burly man with a hideous face suddenly appeared from nowhere from the foot of the mountain.He glanced at Nan Xing, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Where do you come from?"

Nan Xing said: "He came under the guidance of the destiny."

The ugly man paused, looked at him coldly for a while, and nodded: "Well, you come in with me."

Nan Xing nodded, and followed him with the child in his arms. Fu Changning wanted to follow, but he stopped him: "Little brother, thank you for helping me lead the way. I don't need to trouble you for the rest of the way."

Fu Changning glanced at the two of them, said "oh", turned and left.After Nan Xing followed the ugly man into the mountains, his figure flashed out again.

He didn't go far, but hid in the shady bushes, quietly watching the actions of the two.He watched the ugly man embrace the child in Nan Xing's hands, murmured something, and said a few unclear words, the child in his arms seemed to have received some induction, and suddenly burst into tears, Nan Xing cried with joy: "God bless! He really can be saved!"

Fu Changning became more and more curious, but he didn't dare to come out to ask where the sorcery was. He just watched the actions of the two quietly for a while. At sunset, a few hunters who had returned with a full load came down the mountain. He was afraid of being discovered. He quietly slipped away with the book in his arms.

Afterwards, with the help of the ugly man, Nan Xing built a house in Zhoujia Village and lived in it with the baby.The ugly man ran to Nan Xing's house from time to time, closed the door tightly, and rescued the baby with Nan Xing, every time he came over, the baby's face became better.

The mysterious actions of the two outsiders in Zhoujia Village aroused Fu Changning's curiosity even more. Every time the ugly man entered Nan Xing's house, he would climb under the window behind the house and eavesdrop on their conversations. I don't know what kind of magic was used to isolate the external sound. Fu Changning eavesdropped on it for more than ten days, but he couldn't hear any useful information.

He didn't give up, and continued to squat in the corner to eavesdrop every day. No. After 20 days, maybe the two people in the room relaxed their vigilance and didn't set up an isolation circle, and finally he heard a clear conversation.

I just heard the ugly man in the room say: "What's his name?"

Nan Xing said: "I didn't think about it."

The ugly man said: "We must give him a name. When he grows up in the future and returns to the tribe, it will not be too late to change his name."

Nan Xing paused for a moment, and said: "I brought this child here since 300 years ago, in order to seek a way to change the destiny, but now I have failed to achieve anything, my heart is stagnant, and the medicine is dead, but I have a desire to miss the world of mortals. Leave him alone."

The ugly man said: "The names of their human children are all a surname and a first name."

Nan Xingdao: "Well, our two races don't have such rules for naming names. Presumably the surname is not very important. Let's follow the rules of the human race and choose the most common one."

The young Fu Changning was baffled when he heard it, and thought to himself: "Why do they talk about the rules of the human race, why don't they have a surname? Aren't they human?"

The next day, the ugly man came to Nan Xing's house as usual, and Fu Changning, who became more and more curious, also went to the corner to eavesdrop as usual.

After a while of silence in the room, the ugly man said: "This is the last healing, as long as a drop of my blood is poured into his body, it will completely repair his damaged soul and make him grow up healthy."

Nan Xing said: "Okay."

When Fu Changning heard that it was the last treatment, he put aside the danger of being discovered, slowly straightened his back, and poked a small hole in the window paper with his index finger.

He saw a scene that he will never forget in his life - he saw the brilliance in the room twinkling, Nan Xing and the ugly man were around the baby, with their hands in a strange posture, a strand of red thread slowly flowed down the two fingers to the baby. Among them, the half-dead baby's body was full of light, and began to glow with vitality.

Is that red light?Is it white light?Why can the baby float in the air?

Is it witchcraft?Is it witchcraft?Why can the red thread save the dying baby?

What he saw in front of him broke through all his cognition in the past 12 years.

It turns out that they are not humans, they are monsters!

Fu Changning suddenly took a breath, and was noticed by Nan Xing who was casting a spell: "What sound?"

The ugly man also stopped his movements, Nan Xing said: "I'll go and have a look." Then he opened the door and walked towards the back of the house.

Fu Changning, who was still in a state of mind, knew that it would be useless to run away, so he decided to sit on the ground, took out the book in his arms, and pretended to read it seriously.

Nan Xing came to the back of the house and said in surprise, "It's you."

Zhoujia Village has lived on hunting for generations. Most of the villagers are illiterate, rough and barbaric. Only Fu Changning is a reading material. I met him studying hard at the entrance of the village, and I liked him quite a lot, so when I saw him squatting in the corner and burying his head in flipping through the books, he didn't think about it in the wrong direction, but asked: "Why did the little brother come here to study? "

Fu Changning's heart thumped, but his face didn't show anything, he just put on a troubled look and said, "Home, there are guests at home, it's very noisy, here, here is quieter."

Nan Xing thought he was a mortal with little knowledge, so he was not on guard, and just asked politely: "Little brother, is he going to get fame?"

Fu Changning nodded indiscriminately and said, "Well, but I'm still young now. After I pass the provincial examination in a few years, I can go to the capital to participate in the general examination."

Nan Xing nodded slightly, and said a few words to let him go home as soon as possible, don't worry the elders in the family, then turned around and re-entered the room, unexpectedly during this short conversation, the ugly man had repaired Xie Liuchen's mind It's all right.Nan Xing's slightly surprised voice came from the room: "Huh? The repair was completed so quickly?"

There was something wrong with the ugly man's voice, and he replied vaguely: "Yes, he is fine."

Fu Changning, who had just escaped a difficult situation, did not dare to listen any longer. He was terrified beyond words, stuffed the book into his bosom, and fled in a hurry.

Seeing this, Xie Liuchen understood in his heart: the Beastmaster took advantage of the moment when Master Nan Xing was talking with Fu Changning, and deliberately poured a drop of blood essence with the Beastmaster's inheritance into his body, so that everyone in the Demon Race thought that he was the successor Beastmaster. , turn the target to yourself.

He sighed: "It turns out that this is the so-called truth. In order to eliminate the catastrophe calculated by Master Wu Nian, Master Nan Xing took me to 300 years later, but he did not expect that it was because of his arrival that this catastrophe was brought about." occur."

Shang Lixing said: "Yes, Nan Xing and the beast king worked together to use the supernatural powers of the monster and beast races to save you who was dying when you were a child, but you didn't know that you were watched by a mortal. Knowing that there are such supernatural powers that do not belong to ordinary people in the world, from now on I will never forget the art of longevity, and I will breed demons, and I will never recover."

Xie Liuchen said again: "Then what did he experience later? How did he cultivate such evil skills?"
