When Li Haoran walked outside the cave, he found that the clouds and mist on the cliff had dissipated. The golden sunlight in the morning was quietly scattered at the entrance of the cave. A breeze blew, and Li Haoran couldn't help but yawn and stretched. However, his stomach started to scream. He looked around and found that the cave was on a small mountain peak, surrounded by steep mountain walls and no roads. Li Haoran had to find a relatively gentle direction to slowly climb the rocks and trees down.

After about a cup of tea, the mountain gradually calmed down. Li Haoran saw some pheasants and rabbits in the forest. However, he had no intention of hunting and killing them. He picked some wild fruits in the forest and put some in the bag. Then he looked at the direction of the sun and found a direction to walk down the mountain.

After touching the bone book in his arms, he silently recited the "White Cloud Sutra" decision in his heart. Li Haoran's heart was even more anxious to join Ruihua Sect. Now he has the method of practicing and Dharma, and he is only one person who guides himself to feel the vitality of heaven and earth. At that time, he will be able to embark on the road of cultivation and then avenge his parents. Thinking of this, Li Haoran felt that his whole body was hot, and he could no longer bear it, and ran in the forest.

The journey was so happy that he ran until the road he had walked yesterday, Li Haoran stopped and sat on a big rock on the side of the road and kept breathing and resting. At this moment, Li Haoran suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves, and Li Haoran couldn't help but feel a little happy. After all, it was good to see other people in this deep mountain forest, at least he wouldn't feel so lonely. He looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves, and only the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. After a while, more than a dozen riders brought a wave of yellow dust in their sight. Looking around, they felt very imposing. From a distance, they all looked men on the horse, and each of them was carrying a big cloth bag on their horses. I guess they were some merchants! Li Haoran thought so, and I wonder if he could take me some distance.

Li Haoran stood on the big stone and watched the horse team get closer, but the strong sunshine made him a little dazzled. When the horse team got closer, he couldn't help but fall on the stone when he saw the person on the horse. No matter how much Li Haoran was just a sixteen-year-old child, and it was really hard for him to accept the great sorrow after being overjoyed.

It turned out that this person was Wang Tianhu who chased Li Haoran yesterday and finally forced him to jump off the cliff. Wang Tianhu was stunned when he saw Li Haoran, then laughed, pulled out a long sword from behind, flew down from the horse, and slashed towards Li Haoran in front of his head. Although Li Haoran was unacceptable to what happened in front of him, he subconsciously rolled to the side to avoid the long sword that Wang Tianhu had slashed.

"When" the long sword looked at the big stone, the stone chips splashed. When Wang Tianhu saw Li Haoran dodged, hey" sounded, and the long sword in his hand was slashing towards Li Haoran's shoulder. At this time, the two were already very close, and Li Haoran had just rolled to the side, just when the old force was exhausted. Before the new force was born, he could never escape this sword. When he saw the long sword slashing, he could only instinctively raise his hand to block it.

"Brother, show mercy!" He heard a loud shout, and then a long spear reached out to hold Wang Tianhu's big knife. The big sword was barely stopped above Li Haoran's arm. Li Haoran survived from death and couldn't help but burst into cold sweat. Looking forward, he saw a middle-aged man holding a spear to block Wang Tianhu's big knife. At this time, everyone else rode his horse over to surround Li Haoran.

Wang Tianhu was stopped by this man and was not angry. He took back the big knife and looked at the middle-aged man with a little strangeness and said, "What's wrong? Second brother, do you know this kid?"

The man shook his head and looked at Li Haoran and chuckled, "I don't know him, but I guess he should be the boy I mentioned yesterday!" Wang Tianhu carried a big knife and said, "It's this boy. I thought he was dead yesterday when I saw him fall off the cliff, but I didn't expect that he was so lucky, but he still hit me in the hand." As he said, he smiled proudly, and then asked, "But second brother, why did you stop me from teaching this hateful boy a lesson?"

The man smiled bitterly and said, "We must find one hundred boys and girls within three days. I just think this kid can meet the requirements, but he can use it to make up the numbers! If we find one hundred within three days, then this kid will naturally be dealt with by you. If there are not one hundred, it would be a big problem! When it comes to the fact that one is the one more, it will be counted."

Wang Tianhu slapped his head and suddenly realized, "I forgot this, thanks to my second brother, you remind me! I am worthy of being the great military advisor of my "Tianwang Village"." The man said modestly and stood aside. Wang Tianhu then turned his head and said to Li Haoran, "Boy, you better be honest. Otherwise, you will suffer." After that, he turned to a thin man and said, "Brother Wu, come and take him."

Li Haoran heard that a few people decided their destiny in just a few words. He didn't take himself seriously and was furious in his heart. However, he also knew that the situation was stronger than others, and it was good that they would not easily take their lives. Let's be tolerant for the time being, and find opportunities to escape. Only by living can there be hope.

The old fifth rode his horse over, and the whip in his right hand stretched out toward Li Haoran. Li Haoran did not move, and just let him roll it around. He suddenly felt his body rise in the air and flew towards Lao Wu. Lao Wu approached Li Haoran's left hand and quickly stretched out Li Haoran's body and tapped him a few times, then grabbed the robe on Li Haoran's back and lifted him up and placed it horizontally behind him. Fortunately, the old fifth man was relatively thin, so this horse could accommodate a large cloth bag and two people.

When Wang Tianhu saw Lao Wu grabbing Li Haoran, he said, "Let's go back to the village!" After that, he rode his horse forward, and the rest followed one by one. Li Haoran felt that after being called by Lao Wu several times, he was extremely moved. He knew that this person was using acupuncture techniques in the martial arts world, and he was not very scared. But his body was so straight that it was very uncomfortable, especially when the horse was running on this rugged mountain road, his bones were shaking so hard that his whole body was scattered, his stomach was shaking. What's even more, his head kept shaking up and down as the horse's body was rising and falling, and slowly he fainted.

There is no light, only a darkness, or complete nothingness. Forgot this world, forget this life, forget me... I just feel that something is approaching, or is it approaching something, what is crying, and what is whispering? Or is it the resentful ghost of the boundless hell? Or is it the wandering soul of the endless abyss? I don’t know! Because everything is nothingness, there is no end...

Suddenly I felt a little chill on my forehead, maybe it was my forehead! This chill came so suddenly, and it made people feel real and no longer empty, and I couldn't help but "um" comfortably. But the chill suddenly disappeared like a frightened. Li Haoran frowned in dissatisfaction and opened his eyes.

In front of me was a little girl wearing a white double-breasted skirt, about thirteen or fourteen years old. She sat on the ground with her knees in her hands and looked at Li Haoran timidly. Seeing Li Haoran suddenly opened her eyes, she was delighted, then lowered her head with a slightly red cheek. The sunlight from some unknown place was quietly spreading on her hands, with some crystal clearness.

"You are finally awake." A slightly joyful voice came from beside you.

Li Haoran turned his head and looked at him, but he was a boy in black who was about the same age as himself. When the boy saw Li Haoran turn his head and smiled and whispered: "They all said you are dead, they are far away, but my sister insisted that you are not dead, and she dipped your hand in water and touched it on your head. I didn't expect you to wake up." Li Haoran turned his head to look at the little girl and said: "Thank you." His voice was a little hoarse.

The little girl lowered her head and whispered: "It's nothing. When I was sick and felt like I was dying, I did that."

"Oh." Li Haoran responded, and then began to look at the place he was. This was a very simple house made of huge rocks. There was only a door in the middle of the front wall and there were no windows, but there were many gaps between the surrounding rocks. The sunlight shone in through the gap on the left side of the wall, making the house a little hot, especially the twenty or twenty children in the room, which seemed even more hot. Fortunately, there were buckets of clear water in every corner of the room, which slightly lowered the temperature. The twenty or twenty children may not be more than fifteen years old, and the younger ones were only seven or eight years old. Now they were all squatting on the ground, some were confused, and some were crying in a low voice. This should be Tianwang Village. I wonder what they wanted to do when they caught so many children?

Li Haoran struggled to sit up, but found that his whole body was sore. The boy in black next to him quickly supported him and let him lean against the wall. Li Haoran nodded to him and bowed, "Thank you, my name is Li Haoran, I didn't ask my brother Taigui's surname."

Seeing that Li Haoran knew Wen Xiaoli so well, the boy in black suddenly felt close to him, so he sat upright and bowed and replied, "I dare not take the surname of you. My surname is Su Chi, and his name is Yuanping." Then he pointed to the little girl next to him and said, "This is Su Qingqing, the first one is Qing, who is 'lippery eyebrows and turns her sleeves like snow flying, and is so beautiful that the city is independent in the world', and the second one is Qing, who is 'sparse shadows slanted across the water'." As he said that, he squeezed at Li Haoran and said, "I called him 'Yixing Jushi'."

"Brother!" Su Qingqing opened her eyes wide and looked at Su Chi and exclaimed. Seeing Li Haoran and his two people turning their heads to look at her, their pretty faces turned red and extended to their ears. With a "ah", they buried their heads on their knees, leaving a black hair hanging down.

Li Haoran and Su Chi looked at each other, and then chuckled. Li Haoran knew that this should be the words of the brother and sister when they were playing. Now Su Chi said it to him, a strange boy who had first met, which naturally made Su Qingqing feel ashamed. So he coughed and said, "'Everyone is full of energy and prosperity, and wants to fly, and want to embrace the bright moon.' I also yearn for such a state." Su Qingqing gently moved his head and did not raise his head.

"I wonder how Brother Su and Sister Ling got here?" Li Haoran saw that Su Qingqing was very shy and turned around and asked Su Chi.

Su Chi said with a gloomy face: "Qingqing and I live in Qingfeng Village, east of Baiyun Mountain. Three days ago, we were studying in a private school, and a group of people rushed in and brought us a dozen of our students into sacks. "As he said that, his eyes turned red and he started sobbing. Su Qingqing next to him even trembled and cried out loud.

Li Haoran thought they were scared when they remembered the scene at that time, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, your parents haven't seen you go back for so long, they will definitely report to the officials, and the officers and soldiers will definitely come to save you." But the brother and sister cried even more violently after hearing Li Haoran's words.

Li Haoran was at a loss when he saw the two of them. He didn't know what he said wrong, so he had to look at the two apologetically. Seeing Li Haoran's appearance, Su Chi wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves, and said with a choking: "It's rude, but my father and mother have been killed by these bandits."

"Ah! Why... I'm sorry." Li Haoran could understand the feelings of the brother and sister at this time, and couldn't help but feel a feeling of being in the same condition.

Su Chi took a breath and stopped crying and said, "That private school was set up by my father and mother. It was so harmful to prevent the robbers from running away to protect the students in the private school. Li Haoran was shocked and stood up with pain all over his body. Su Chi didn't know what he was going to do, so he hurriedly supported him. Su Qingqing also raised his head slightly and looked at him. Li Haoran waved his hand gently, indicating that Su Chi would not need to help him, then stood up straight, clasped his fists and bowed to the brother and sister, "Lingzun, Brother Gaoyi of Lingtang admired him inexplicably. This world is evil, but it is precisely because of people like uncle and aunt that justice is not over."

The two brothers and sisters of the Su family were originally confused by Li Haoran's actions, but after hearing his righteous words, they couldn't help but feel warm. Su Chi sighed: "I didn't expect that Brother Haoran would have such knowledge at such an age, but I was inferior. My father often taught me and my sister to do something and not do anything in life. They don't want to live for a hundred years, but to return to the world with righteousness. If he meets you alive, you will definitely be your lifelong confidant."

Although Li Haoran was so passionate that he was a little sad when he heard this, he suddenly said in his heart: "Why not let's be sworn." Su Chi was stunned at first and then applauded, and a glimmer flashed in Su Qingqing's eyes. Li Haoran used to be like-minded with the heroes of the Jianghu in the plays and was very eager to become sworn brothers and sisters. Although he was in prison now, after a few words, he felt that his temperament was very similar. Moreover, the experience of Su Chi's brother and sister was similar to that of him, so he naturally felt close. In addition, for more than a year, he wanted to have some people close to him so that he would no longer be so lonely in this world. So he made such a suggestion and was very happy to see Su Chi agreeing.

The three of them didn't know what to do, so they learned to watch the play and knelt on the ground and raised their right palm together under the surprised eyes of the children around them.

"I, Suchi, are seventeen years old this year."

"I, Li Haoran, are sixteen years old this year."

Su Qingqing also said frankly: "I, Su Qingqing, are fourteen years old this year."

After looking at each other and smiling, they said together: "Today we will become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, and we will support each other in the future, share blessings and share difficulties!"

The three of them slapped their high-highs, stood up with their hands together, and Li Haoran called out, "Brother!" Su Chi also said happily, "Second brother." Then Li Haoran shouted to Su Qingqing again, "Little sister." Su Qingqing's cheeks were slightly red and said, "Second brother." Li Haoran responded with a smile.

Su Chi took out an emerald green inkstone from his arms and handed it to Li Haoran, saying, "Brother, my family is poor, there is no good thing to give to you. This is an inkstone carved by my father. I will hand it over to you now." The so-called "The elders give it, I dare not refuse!" Although Su Chi is not an elder, the inkstone is now a ceremony for the mercy, and Li Haoran is not able to refuse, so he has to hold the inkstone in his hands with both hands.

I felt a little heavy when I started, and a cold breath was transmitted from the inkstone to my palm. The whole inkstone was square and slightly elliptical. I saw a few green bamboos carved with relief techniques, which looked lush and green. Below the bamboo was a pond as an ink pond. The blank space on the left of the bamboo was engraved with the poem "The cultivation tips are very good, and the words are humble and unwilling to go together. There is a straight look in the inkstone, but there is no intention to be a Taoist and empty." Looking at this inkstone, Li Haoran couldn't help but yearn for Su Chi's father and asked: "I didn't ask for my uncle's name." Su Chi said: "My father Su Shouzheng." Li Haoran bowed to respect him.

Li Haoran was embarrassed to take Su Chi's inkstone and took out a white jade pendant tied with a thin red rope in his arms. He walked to Su Qingqing and said, "Little sister, I don't have anything good to give to you. This jade pendant was brought by me since I was a child, so I will give it to you now." Su Qingqing's face turned red. He didn't know what to do, so he looked at Su Chi at a loss. Li Haoran looked at her expression in his eyes, and smiled and stuffed the jade pendant directly into her hand. Su Qingqing was so scared that she almost let out the jade pendant. Fortunately, she reacted very quickly, and took the rope on the jade pendant back with her palm and looked at Su Chi pitifully.

Li Haoran is still young, and he is the only boy in the family. Although he is knowledgeable and polite, he does not take men and women seriously. However, Su Qingqing is different. Although she is younger, because she is a woman and has an older brother at home, her father, who is upright, naturally conveyed to her the concept of men and women not being able to get along with each other since she was a child. So at this time, he was naturally shocked by Li Haoran's intimate action. Su Chi naturally knew the reason for this and knew that Li Haoran had no malice. He was about to ask his sister to take the jade pendant, but suddenly found that the jade pendant was very extraordinary, not like an ordinary family could have, so he pondered: "Second brother, this jade pendant..."
