Chapter 8 Missing

The night is dark and the stars are sparse, and the night wind by the sea is very strong and cold.

The waves were wave after wave, slapped the coast without stopping, making waves of impact.

In the darkness, a figure stood by the sea, motionless, as if waiting for something.

"Woooo..." A conch sounded like a conch in the distance, as if calling for something.

Soon, a figure in the darkness came to the beach like lightning. When he arrived at the beach, he looked around and came to a stone. Suddenly, he found a figure standing there, which made his heart tight. This person stood in the darkness, and with his skills, he could not see the other person's appearance. He quickly thought of something and then felt relieved.

"I've been delayed for some things. I've come a while later. Please forgive me." After the figure arrived, he said respectfully to the person standing there. He was very old when he heard the sound.

"Okay. Just wait a little longer, it's nothing serious. This is what you want." The figure in the dark threw a burden.

The figure reached out and took it, but didn't check it. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior."

"Don't be so polite. We are just repaying your ancestor's favor." The man said expressionlessly in the darkness.

Just as the figure was about to leave, the man suddenly shouted, "Wait."

"I wonder what else do you have to give me?" The figure stopped and asked with some confusion. In the past, when he came to pick up things, the other party would put them under the rock. This time, he actually saw the other party himself. He was a little confused at that time, but now he was called by the other party, and he felt a little uneasy. After all, what he was facing was people who were beyond ordinary people.

"The reason I showed up this time is because I have something to ask for your help?" said the figure in the dark.

"I don't know what is difficult for seniors, please let me help." The figure pondered for a while and suddenly asked. As the other party, he wanted to ask himself to help. Can an ordinary warrior help me?

"Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing. I have a child, and his mother is one of my nieces. Unfortunately, his mother died a few months ago. His father sent the child to me for revenge. Originally, with the qualifications of this child, I really wanted to stay. But his parents wanted him to live a normal life. So, I want to hand him over to you so that you can raise him well." The figure in the dark said sadly.

The man hesitated for a moment, looked at the hands that were stretched out in the darkness, and involuntarily stretched out his hands and took the baby over.

"You are so well educated in this child. There is a ring on his neck, which was left to him by his mother before he died. Oh, by the way, this child is called Gongsun Xuan." The person in the dark suddenly remembered that he had not yet spoken the child's name.

"Gongsun Xuan." The figure murmured. He lowered his head and looked at the sleeping baby in his arms. When he raised his head, he found that the figure in the dark had disappeared and seemed to have left.

He sighed helplessly and had to carry the child back to the darkness.

·········

The sea is boundless and vast, and it is unaware of the boundaries.

In the sea far away from the mainland, there is a large island surrounded by fog. There are many people living on this island.

An old figure quickly passed through a vast forest and came to the center of the island. At the center of the island is a wide basin. The center of the basin is an extremely grand mountain. The mountain is towering into the clouds and has ninety-nine peaks.

The figures are like monkeys, lying across the mountains quickly. A jump can be dozens of feet a distance.

Not long after, he came to a steep mountain. Looking at the fog, he glanced at the child in his arms and took care of him carefully.

He jumped onto the steep cliff like flying. When he reached the mountain, the wind was very strong and cold between the peaks, so he had to share a little skill to resist the mountain wind for the child in his arms.

Half an hour later, he climbed the peak.

At the top of the peak, there are ninety-nine steps, and behind the steps is a tall stone hall.

As soon as the figure reached the top of the peak, it immediately let out a long roar, echoing between the peaks.

Soon, long roars came from all over the place. When the figure entered the stone hall for half an hour, nine figures broke in.

"Ah haha, Old Man Li is back." An old man with a beard laughed and walked over. When he saw Old Man Li holding a child, he was immediately surprised and snatched the child over. He asked, "Old Man Li, where did you pick up a baby from? Hey, the root of this child is so good. Ah haha, this is a good seedling."

The old man with long beard suddenly had his eyes shining, as if he had discovered the treasure.

"Jiuyan, whisper, this child is asleep. Don't wake him up. If you wake him up, it will be a troublesome." Old man Li frowned and said, listening to Jiuyan's tall voice. These days, he has been taking care of this child, but he knows how powerful this child is.

"Ah, yes, yes." Old man Jingli reminded him, Jiuyan quickly lowered his voice. But those eyes still couldn't hide the heat in his heart.

The others also surrounded him and looked at the child in Jiuyan's hands. When they found the baby's root bone, their eyes shone, as if they had picked up a baby.

"Old man Li, you have picked up a treasure this time. This child's roots are much higher than us. If he was well trained, he might have followed the fourth step of the warrior after the Huoyun Ancestor." A middle-aged man's eyes showed a hot light. For him, the fourth step was like becoming an immortal.

"With this child's roots and bones, after our training, we have the most hope to enter the fourth step." Another person echoed.

"Old ghost. Where did you pick this child up?" Seeing that the baby's roots were so wonderful, someone couldn't help asking about the baby's background.

"Hey, this child is also very big. This time I went to get medicine and met the old senior himself. This child was handed over to me by the old senior. His mother was a niece of the old senior. A few months ago, his mother was killed, and his father went to seek revenge and could not take care of him. His parents hoped that he would become an ordinary person, so the old senior gave him to me and let me raise him well." Old man Li slowly told Gongsun Xuan's origin.

"Ah!" These people were slightly surprised to hear that the baby's parents were actually cultivators.

"Does this child have a name? If not, I'll help him pick one." Jiu Yan suddenly thought, not knowing what the child is called.

"Of course this child has a name, his name is Gongsun Xuan. Okay. You guys take away their elixirs and go to practice quickly. It will take at least two years for this child to practice martial arts. Then we will train him together." The old man Xue waved his hand, took out a bottle of elixirs from the bag behind him, and distributed it to everyone.

These people all took their own pills and left reluctantly.

The last one left was a middle-aged man with a cold air all over his body. He looked at the baby in the old man Li's arms, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. However, he had never said a word from beginning to end. After getting the pill, he turned around and left the hall.

After getting the pill, Old Man Li glanced at the baby, put him on the cushion, and sat upright and prepared to practice. He was over 100 years old and his life span was not much left. If he could not break through in the last time, he would have to leave regretfully.

Not long after the old man closed his eyes and practiced, a figure suddenly came into the hall. It was the man who left the last time. As soon as he appeared, the temperature in the hall immediately dropped. He picked up the baby lying beside Old Man Xue and turned around and left.

When Old Man Li woke up from his cultivation, he found that the child in front of him was missing. He thought that some old man liked the child and took him away, but he didn't care at that time. It was not until later that he realized that the child was missing. Unfortunately, when he found out, his life span was approaching the end.

In a small village near the sea in the north of the island, there is a stone house on the peak of the sea. The owner of the stone house is the only master in the village. While he was practicing that night, he suddenly heard the crying of a child outside the house. When he opened the door, he saw a crying baby lying beside the door.
