Chapter 12 Recalling the Past
On the island, it is very windy at night.
The trees were blown to the east and west, and the leaves were blown to shake.
In the sky, the bright moon shines on the head, and large pieces of silver light are shining.
At the bottom of the woods, the moonlight passes through the branches and leaves, sprinkled on the dead leaves, and it looks very beautiful.
Shu, Shu, Shu.
Three black shadows were swiftly passing through the woods.
These three figures are Xuan Zi, Hu Zi and Xiao Yu. The three of them quickly ran towards the depths of the island.
The reason why the three of them chose to steal wine at night was because the monkey had to sleep at night. Xuanzi was not so arrogant and ran to steal wine during the day. In broad daylight, that wasn't it because he was looking for death. I was afraid that he would be surrounded by the monkey group before he got close. Then he tore him into slices of meat and ate it.
In this dark woods, if it weren't for the spots of moonlight shining on the road, Hu Zi and Xiao Yu would have probably bumped into the tree for many times.
There are countless trees in the woods and there is no way to find them. If you are not careful, you will hit the tree.
Because of Xuanzi's deep skills, even in the dark woods, his vision could blur the five-meter range around him. Xiaoyu and Huzi would not do it. Especially Xiaoyu, he was the one with the lowest skill among the three. Along the way, I don't know how many trees he bumped into. His nose and face were swollen. If Huzi hadn't seen it in the dark, he would have laughed out loud.
The three of them did not travel very quickly, and they walked for three hours in a journey of three hundred miles. With Xuanzi's speed, one hour was enough. However, Huzi and Xiaoyu were not capable enough, so they were not that fast. In addition, they were rushing to travel at night, so the speed of the three of them was naturally much slower.
The three of them stopped at the foot of a mountain and looked at the endless woods in front of them.
"Have you arrived?" Hu Zi asked in a low voice when he saw Xiaoyu shouting.
"Yeah." Xiaoyu responded.
"You are sure you remember correctly." Hu Zi asked worriedly. If you remember wrongly, the journey will be in vain.
"I can't make a mistake. I remember the scene around me very clearly. Look, isn't there a large area of fruit trees in front?" Xiaoyu said, pointing to the mountain ahead.
Under the moonlight, looking over, it looked like a large fruit forest. Is it? Just get closer and check it out.
"Okay, you guys are waiting for me here. I'll go and have a look." Xuanzi said to the two of them.
"Be careful!" Hu Zi whispered to alert Xuan Zi.
"Yes." Xuanzi nodded. Just as he was about to rush out, he was suddenly pulled down and turned around and looked over.
"Brother Xuanzi, be careful." Xiaoyu bit his lip and said.
Xuan Zi patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
After saying that, Xuanzi rushed forward and crawled into the woods in front.
"Brother Xuanzi, don't have anything wrong!" Xiaoyu prayed silently in his heart.
Originally, he had a great prejudice against Xuan Zi. For nothing else, it was because Xuan Zi was the apprentice of Old Monster Han. Moreover, the talent shown by Xuan Zi compared everyone in Wangjia Village. This made him very uncomfortable. Since he was a child, he had a flexible mind and was particularly smart. However, the villagers said that he just likes to be clever, and compared to Xuan Zi, he was just from heaven and underground.
Xuanzi entered the acquired world half a year ago, which made him even more unhappy. He felt that Xuanzi was able to enter the acquired world because he had the guidance of a good master, and the village chief also favored him and gave him the Diyuan Dan to take so that he could enter the acquired world.
Xiaoyu didn't know about this earthly Yuan Dan before. Once, when he eavesdropped on his family's speech, he realized that the earthly Yuan Dan is a reward for each village in the holy land. Only after the 20-year martial arts competition will the earthly Yuan Dan be distributed based on the number of people selected into the holy land and the rankings in the village. This earthly Yuan Dan is very precious and is of great help to those who learn martial arts. A earthly Yuan Dan can increase a person's true energy for three years. In other words, a earthly Yuan Dan can be as good as a person's three years of hard work. When you want to break through to the acquired day, taking the earthly Yuan Dan can help people easily break through.
After knowing that Xuanzi had entered the acquired realm, his first reaction was that the village chief gave him the Diyuan Dan. This made him very jealous and angry. Why didn’t the village chief give him a pill? With his talent, can’t he break through to the acquired realm? He has always hidden his jealousy and anger deep in his heart. Usually, he is with Xuanzi like nothing is wrong.
This evening, he realized that Xuanzi was able to enter the acquired realm. He did not rely on the effects of elixirs, but entirely on his own abilities.
When he saw Xuan Zi being dropped on the cliff and punished, he also secretly asked himself if he could survive like Xuan Zi if he was dropped on the cliff like that.
He asked Xuanzi why he could survive. Xuanzi then told him and Huzi about the training he received since childhood. Only then did he realize that Xuanzi grew up in these seemingly cruel trainings since childhood.
When he saw Xuan Zi's indifferent smile, he understood that a person's success is not talent, but hard work.
When he saw Xuan Zi taking risks for his own business, his heart ached. He wanted to stop Xuan Zi, but before he could say it, Xuan Zi stopped him with his eyes.
Only then did he realize that he knew what he thought about Xuanzi. However, he didn't say it out loud. He had always been very kind with him and patiently taught his light skills.
At this moment, he let go of his jealousy and dissatisfaction with Xuan Zi.
Now, he only hopes that Xuanzi can come back safely. As for whether he can steal Monkey wine, it doesn't matter anymore.
If he chooses between drinking and friends, he will choose friends.
"Hu Zi, do you remember the first time I saw Xuan Zi?" Suddenly, Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Hu Zi and asked.
"Yes." Hu Zi was a little stunned, and then fell into the memory.
··········
"Hey, why are you fighting?"
"My name is Xuanzi, and I live on that mountain."
“Can we be friends?”
"Friends should help each other, and they should not fight."
··········
"The first time! Remember. Of course I remember. It was at the beach. We were only eight years old at that time, and we picked up shells on the beach. At that time, you said something to annoy me. I beat you to the ground. Are you still not convinced?" Hu Zi had a smile on his lips.
"You said, you were as strong as a cow at that time. I was thin and I could not beat you." When talking about the past, Xiaoyu couldn't help but complain.
"You still say to me. Whoever told you that you are so powerful, I can't tell you. I can only compare my advantages with your disadvantages."
"Haha, don't tell me. At that time, Brother Xuanzi suddenly appeared in front of us and pulled you away. I thought he was from another village?"
"Yes. I was also shocked at that time. I grew very strong. Unexpectedly, Brother Xuanzi grew stronger than me. He was only a few months older than us."
"Yes! I later found out that he is also from our village. He actually lives on Nulang Peak."
"Haha. You said at that time that there was an old monster on Nulang Peak, and now another little monster has emerged."
"Did I say that?"
"Of course. I still remember it now."
"Well. He is indeed worthy of being a monster." Xiaoyu raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky through the dense branches and leaves.
"Yes. Since then, Brother Xuanzi has left us all far away. Over the years, I have been practicing hard, but I still can't keep up with Brother Xuanzi. Today, I understand. It turns out that Brother Xuanzi is harder than us." Hu Zi also sighed.
"Well. Starting tomorrow, Brother Xuanzi will be the target I pursue in my life." Xiaoyu's eyes showed firmness.
"Is that so? Our Xiaoyu has actually grown up. I know I have to practice martial arts hard!" Hu Zi said with some quips as if he had suddenly become a different person.
"Go." Xiaoyu cursed, "Huzi."
"Um."
"Do you think we and Xuanzi are real friends?"
Hu Zi was stunned and looked at Xiaoyu. After a long time, he sighed: "Xiaoyu, if you can really let go, then you and Xuanzi are real friends just like me and Xuanzi. Xuanzi are all so kind. No matter who he can help us, he will do his best to help us." Although Hu Zi usually acts stupid and a bit tidy, he is not stupid. He is very clear about the subtle relationship between Xiaoyu and Xuanzi.
"Yes! Xuanzi is really a friend. Having a friend like him is the luckiest thing in my life." Xiaoyu smiled at the corner of his mouth.
