chapter Five
Hua Tingxuan didn't care about being knocked on the head. On the contrary, he raised the corner of his mouth in a helpful way - he enjoyed the intimate little gestures with his senior brother so much.
So the man named Hua, whose actual soul is hundreds of years old and has already accomplished the feat of dominating the three realms of humans, demons, and demons, followed Chu Danfeng on his short legs and asked in a coquettish voice as he walked:
"Senior brother, is that Ban Li the evil person who harmed you?"
Chu Danfeng: "...how do you know?"
Hua Tingxuan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he casually said: "Listen to what Fang Qingya said."
Chu Danfeng said sternly: "The elders and younger ones are in order. That's your fourth senior brother. How can you call him by his first name?" But he silently complained in his heart: Fang's mouth is really big, but that incident caused a lot of trouble.
Everyone knows it, and it's not a secret.
Back then, when Chu Danfeng was a young man who had formed a pill, he was the leader among the younger generation of disciples of the Shuangji Sect. He was at the peak of his power and led a team to eliminate evil spirits. Among the team was Li Ban.
It was a demon monster with a much higher level of cultivation than expected, equivalent to a Nascent Soul monk. However, it was impossible to escape before the battle, so everyone decided to work together to form an array to compete with it.
Everything was ready, but unexpectedly, there was a flaw in Li Ban. The arranged formation was missing a corner. Chu Danfeng, who was in the center of the formation, had to concentrate on making up for it. In the end, although he could barely maintain the formation, Chu Danfeng failed.
He also suffered a backlash, his cultivation retreated a great level, and his golden elixir shattered on the spot.
After returning to the sect, Li Ban argued that he did not do it intentionally and that it was all his fault that he was not good at studying and was willing to be punished.
But whether this kind of thing was deliberate or powerless, it was just because of his mouth. Although Li Ban was punished in the end, Chu Danfeng was unable to recover - Dantian is the foundation for practitioners to mobilize the true energy of the sea.
The destruction almost ended the path of cultivating immortality, and there was no future for it.
"Brother, do you hate him?" Hua Tingxuan pulled Chu Danfeng back from his memories.
Do you hate it? It would be false to say that you don’t hate it at all, but that is actually a plot arranged by the system. Without Ban Li, there will still be Ban Zhang, Ban Wang, and Ban Zhao... However, it really hurts when the golden elixir is broken.
Now that I think about it, I can still remember the tearing pain in my lower abdomen, as if an invisible big hand was grabbing all the internal organs in one place, and then crushing them one by one. Even the system used the highest authority to block the pain by 5%.
It didn't help, he was still in pain and passed out.
It’s so difficult to do the task, tsk, adult. There is no such thing as easy in the human world.
However, Chu Danfeng didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic with a child, so he avoided the important point and said lightly: "It's because Ban Li hates me. Every time I meet him, I feel weird and angry. I don't know where I offended him."
Hua Tingxuan suddenly said: "Senior brother, does Li Ban have a direct senior brother named Liu Yanbai?"
When the name was mentioned, Chu Danfeng's expression immediately changed, and he obviously didn't want to talk more. When asked again, he just said, "He is a pervert."
After thinking about it, Chu Danfeng added uneasily: "If you meet him, stay away from him."
Hua Tingxuan seemed a little happy when he heard his senior brother scolding Liu Yanbai as a pervert, but then he frowned worriedly, with a complex expression on his face that he hesitated to speak. If this look were placed on an adult, he might be solemn.
It's deep, but when a little baby like a baby makes such an expression...it's so in need of a slap, it makes people want to pinch his chubby little face.
Chu Danfeng felt itchy for a moment and really took action.
Xiao Hua Tingxuan's face was pinched so hard that her voice was distorted: "Senior brother, whoever bullies you, I will avenge you!"
Chu Danfeng let go and used all his strength to rub the little boy's knot on his head, and then said "Tsk", "I don't need you to support me, I just don't repay you with kindness in the future."
What does "never repay kindness with enmity" mean? Why did senior brother suddenly say such a thing for no reason?
Hua Tingxuan was particularly sensitive because of the guilt in his heart. He swallowed the words and chewed them over and over again. He suddenly thought of his senior brother's abnormal behavior since his rebirth. It seemed that some answer was ready to come out, but he didn't dare to think deeply. He stood there blankly, with his hands and feet.
A moment of coldness.
Senior brother...could he be the same...no! Absolutely not! If he still remembers the mistakes he made in the past and all the humiliations he has done to him, he will never forgive himself!
No, this is impossible. There is only one Soul Bead, and you need to carry your spirit body through the time and space gate. But at that time, my senior brother was clearly gone...
"Why are you in a daze?" Chu Danfeng held a fan bone in his hand and tapped the child's head. "We are on our way. If we go faster, we might still have time to go to Zhang Ji's shop in Huayang Town to buy some preserved fruits."
Hua Tingxuan raised his head and saw Chu Danfeng blinking at him heartlessly, and said boldly: "Don't worry about money, your senior brother, I am a frequent visitor to his house, and I can pay on credit!"
...No matter how you look at it, you don’t have the bitterness and hatred that a reborn person should have. Maybe it’s because I’m unfounded.
Li Ban, Tang Yingdong and other junior fellow apprentices were traveling together, but they took another route. They headed straight to Huanyi Mountain with their swords. The major sects and aristocratic families also divided their territories. They looked after the ordinary people in their respective territories and exorcised and subdued demons for them.
, to ensure the safety of one party, and accordingly, to enjoy the resources in the territory.
Although Huanyi Mountain is not as rich in spiritual energy as the Shuangji Sect, it stretches for thousands of miles. There are countless exotic flowers and plants growing in the deep mountains. It depends on whether you have the ability to pick them.
Li Ban originally only came forward to cause some trouble for Chu Danfeng, but actually he regretted it when Tang Yingdong was assigned the task of 'Looking for Sagittarius'.
But after he actually hit the road, his intestines were almost broken.
This task was as trivial and troublesome as expected. The huge Huanyi Mountain was searched with only a compass. After walking for half a day, I still found nothing. I had to listen to the gossips of the female nuns, and the target of the gossip was still him.
Chu Danfeng is not waiting to be seen.
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Chu would look so handsome after changing out of that jet-black cassock."
"It's not just a matter of clothes. He looks much better and can even smile."
"Maybe it's because his mood has changed. When I saw him this time, he seemed to be more open-minded. Hey, everyone said that Senior Brother Chu had an unpleasant personality. In fact, he was also unlucky. Who else would he have encountered something like that -"
Before she finished speaking, her arm was pulled hard by her companion. The female cultivator immediately stuck out her tongue and shut her mouth. Several junior sisters from Kunduan Peak looked at Li Ban with a guilty conscience.
There are still rumors in the Shuangji Sect that "Li Ban deliberately framed Chu Danfeng". After all, the two have always been at odds. To be precise, it was Li Ban who couldn't stand Chu Danfeng unilaterally.
Li Ban did not shy away from it, and said bitterly: "Chu Danfeng's ignorant thing, apart from being able to see through a skin, what else does it have to offer?"
Tang Yingdong couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Li, why do you hate Chu...Chu Danfeng so much?"
A fellow junior sister who was traveling with her eloquently added: "Is it because he is a loser? Or is it because he is ignorant of the world and only knows how to cultivate, which is too utilitarian?"
But Li Ban shook his head, with a complicated look in his eyes, "Because he doesn't know how to praise, he is not worthy at all... In addition, I also hate his big girl-like skin, the appearance of a boy and a girl, disgusting!"
Tang Yingdong couldn't agree, and said bluntly: "Senior Brother Chu is handsome, but not feminine. It's unfair for Senior Brother Li to say this -"
But before he finished speaking, a strange-looking giant beast suddenly jumped out of the dense forest, its roar shook the forest. If you look closely, you will find that its eye sockets are empty, with only two masses of lingering black air, staring at it with eagerness.
The ground blocked the way for a group of people.
"It's a beast! It's something from the demon world. How could it appear here?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhh this level of difficulty is not an elementary task at all!"
"Huanyi Mountain is nourished by the spiritual veins of the Shuangji Sect, so how can there be monsters from the demon world? What could attract it?"
At this moment, Li Ban suddenly screamed in pain, and his body swelled as if it was inflated. His disciple uniform was instantly burst, revealing an arm filled with black air. The aura was exactly the same as that of the monster. Several female disciples
They all screamed uncontrollably.
Chu Danfeng failed to buy preserved fruit because he was carrying a bottle of oil. The little guy was slow in walking and would start to scream and couldn't walk without being coquettish and wanted to be held by Chu Danfeng.
Although Chu Danfeng is a monk, he only has foundation-building cultivation now. It is unrealistic to use the Zhenyuan Pinch Technique to hold a child throughout the whole process. And his junior brother doesn't know what to eat when he grew up. He doesn't look fat, and he is also small.
It was a ball, but the frame was very strong, and the weight was really strenuous. Chu Danfeng still had the energy to hold the child and walk at first, but his strength gradually ran out, and finally Hua Tingxuan shouted tired, and the two of them rested on the spot.
Exhausted, Senior Brother Chu let his child climb up and kiss him, hugging him and acting like a baby with no expression on his face. His resigned spirit was like a young parent whose edges have been smoothed by life.
Therefore, we were delayed a lot of time on the way down. It was already dusk when we could see the smoke of Taohua Village in the distance.
"Fortunately, I didn't miss Sutou. If it had been a little later, we might have to find a cave to spend the night." Chu Danfeng let out a long sigh of relief. He was about to ask the child to take two steps quickly, but suddenly stopped.
Holding Hua Tingxuan's little head, he whispered: "Control your breath and don't move."
After another moment, Chu Danfeng let go of his hand, and Hua Tingxuan asked, knowingly: "Brother, what's wrong?"
"There is a demonic aura," Chu Danfeng frowned, "but for some reason, that thing seemed to be afraid of something. It ran away without a trace as soon as it appeared. It couldn't be that it was afraid of us..."
Today's Hua Tingxuan is still a little kid who has not introduced Qi into his body, and he is only building a foundation. Chu Danfeng does not believe that he can frighten monsters to such an extent.
Hua Tingxuan, who had just scared the monster away, hugged Chu Danfeng's legs in a grandiose manner and said in a trembling voice: "Xuan'er is scared."
Chu Danfeng sighed silently. Even the male protagonist is just a baby now. How can he not be afraid? After all, it is the child he has raised for two lifetimes. Chu Danfeng felt a softness in his heart and hugged the little junior brother's back.
, patted twice: "Don't be afraid, senior brother is here. Now that thing is gone, let's take the opportunity to change clothes and enter Taohua Village again."
Hua Tingxuan hugged her thighs and was enjoying herself, so she asked casually: "Why?"
Although it's a bit shameful to think like this, what if? Chu Danfeng coughed lightly: "If the monster realizes that we are disciples of the Immortal Sect and becomes afraid, I'm afraid it won't show up. Let's conceal our identity first and restrain our aura.
Don’t alert the enemy.”
Hua Tingxuan nodded obediently: "Remember, restrain your breath."
Chu Danfeng thought in her heart that I had restrained my aura. You are a little brat. What can you do to restrain yourself? However, he did not dampen the child's enthusiasm. He took out the regular clothes from the mustard bag and the two of them changed into them, and then they entered Taohua Village.
It seems that they arrived not too late, and the monster has not yet started to cause trouble on a large scale. Peach Blossom Village is still peaceful and bustling with people. Under the peach blossom trees, there are villagers in twos and threes who come out to cool off after dinner, but most of them are women, children and the elderly. Almost all of them are women, children and the elderly.
Young and strong laborers are nowhere to be seen.
Seeing an outsider visiting, several children gathered around them curiously. Even though they had changed into regular clothes, they were both very handsome. One had red lips and white teeth, and the other had pink and jade sculptures. They were very different from the people in the village. The children had never seen such handsome figures before.
Not daring to speak, just staring eagerly, Chu Danfeng smiled and said, "Does anyone know where the village chief is?"
A little boy about the same age as Hua Tingxuan, dragging his nose with runny nose, pointed at the old man enjoying the cool under the tree: "That's him!"
The old man was also looking at them, so Chu Danfeng came forward and bowed kindly: "Old man, we missed Sutou on the way, can we stay overnight at your place?"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at him, thinking that this young man was an aristocratic young man from some family who was out for fun. He shook his head and said: "We, who have a simple life, cannot entertain noble people."
Chu Danfeng: "I just want a place to rest, my father-in-law, please be accommodating."
"It's not that I don't want to keep you. Peach Blossom Village has not been peaceful recently. Evil things have caused trouble and several men have died. Especially for a young young man like you who is so innocent and tender. I advise you to go back where you came from.
, leave quickly!”
Chu Danfeng pulled Hua Tingxuan's child out and pushed him in front of the old man. He said in a good temper: "I'm a grown man and it's nothing, but the dog is young and I'm afraid I can't bear the trouble. Please give me a favor. I have a lot of money for you."
of."
Hua Tingxuan raised his head in shock, his dark eyes widening.
Dog?
