The night in the wilderness is very cold, and the wind is biting.
A group of people gathered around the campfire to keep warm, listening to what happened to the middle-aged man and the mother and son.
After some conversation, they learned about the relationship between the three people.
The middle-aged man is a lone demon hunter named Chi Fengcheng. He travels around the world relying on his superb sword skills. He came across this mother and son who were being hunted by their enemies. Seeing their pity, he came to save them.
However, the enemies of the mother and son were too powerful, so they had to hide here and there. Unexpectedly, when they arrived near Blue Maple City, they were still bloodyly pursued by their enemies.
If it hadn't been for the help of the concealed weapon master today, the three of them would have lost their lives.
After hearing their experiences, the travelers all sympathized with them and donated money and clothing generously.
The mother and son burst into tears of gratitude and kept saying thank you.
The child in the woman's arms was about seven or eight years old, with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like head, dark eyes, cold eyes, and no emotion at all. He just stood beside the middle-aged man Chi Fengcheng with a calm face, silent.
The next day, the caravan set off as normal and headed towards Blue Maple City. Due to the large amount of goods escorted in the caravan, the progress was quite slow. At noon, it stopped at the foot of a high mountain and made a fire to cook.
In his free time, Qin Fengshan took Lin Qingyin to the river, admiring the mountains and flowing water, the scenery along the way, and feeling the natural atmosphere of the world. He felt comfortable and calm in his heart, and there were no other distracting thoughts.
After a while, they walked towards the caravan and unexpectedly found the middle-aged man standing under the shade of a tree, teaching the boy sword skills.
The little boy held a machete and practiced the sword skills in a precise manner, including vertical chops, horizontal cuts, upward lifts, diagonal thrusts, thrusts and other moves, all in a very formal manner.
After a while, the little boy's head was sweating and his face was red.
The scimitar in his hand weighs twenty or thirty kilograms. For a young man who has always been well-dressed and well-fed, he will be out of breath after practicing it two or three times.
Continuous practice consumes a lot of physical energy.
The boy gritted his teeth and waved the machete vigorously, his face looking very resolute.
Seeing this familiar scene, Qin Fengshan couldn't help but think of himself when he was a child.
The way to practice martial arts is long and arduous, and it does not happen overnight.
What is tested is not only talent, but also perseverance.
On the road to success, there is no shortage of geniuses and mediocre people, but there are very few warriors who can truly touch the threshold.
After practicing continuously for a full hour, the boy was obviously exhausted. He was sweating profusely, breathing like an ox, and could hardly stand still.
The middle-aged man Chi Fengcheng shouted from the side: "No rest allowed, keep practicing."
"I've only been practicing for a while and I've lost my energy. Do you think this is just playing house?"
"The most important thing in practicing martial arts is persistence."
“Talent, perseverance, understanding and other factors are all indispensable.”
When the boy heard the master's scolding, he straightened up and continued to practice swinging the sword with all his strength, not daring to slack off at all.
Brush! Brush! Brush!...
The light of the sword flashed, and the sharp whistling sound sounded continuously and distinctly.
Such a strange scene attracted many business travelers to watch.
When it was time to eat, Chi Fengcheng asked the boy to return to the team to drink water and eat.
In order to rush for time, caravans usually eat cold steamed buns, boiled sweet potatoes, potatoes and other whole grains for lunch. This food does not need to be cooked and can be swallowed with a pot of water.
While eating, Qin Fengshan came to the boy's side, handed him a piece of cooked beef with a smile, and said: "It is the time when you are growing up, so you should eat more meat. Practicing martial arts consumes your energy, and eating whole grains alone is not enough."
When the boy saw the unfamiliar face in front of him, and thought of the scene of being chased by his enemies during this period, he felt a little jealous in his heart. He was afraid that Qin Fengshan had other intentions and did not dare to reach out to pick him up.
At this time, Chi Fengcheng came over and said with a grin: "Xiao Wei, this master gave you delicious food. Take it quickly and remember to thank this master."
The boy turned his head and glanced at Chi Fengcheng, and said obediently: "Yes, master."
With that said, he took the cooked beef from Qin Fengshan's hand, bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir." After saying that, he took the cooked beef and started chewing it, looking like he was gobbling it up. It felt like he hadn't eaten like this in a long time.
It tastes like delicacies from mountains and sea.
Qin Fengshan squatted down and said with a smile: "Little guy, what is your name?"
"My name is Wei Jinhu, I am seven years old this year." The boy said with a cold expression.
Qin Fengshan continued to ask: "Why should I practice swordsmanship if I know it is so hard?"
"Kill the bandits and protect your loved ones." Wei Jinhu said vaguely.
"You are so young, how can you protect your mother?" Qin Fengshan said in a serious tone.
Wei Jinhu gritted his teeth and said, "I have to protect him even if I risk my life." After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Qin Fengshan.
Chi Fengcheng, who was on the side, touched Wei Jinhu's head and said in a deep voice: "This little guy is quite pitiful. He comes from a famous family. He has been well clothed and well-fed since he was a child, because his father offended a big shot when he was doing business.
This will lead to the disaster of annihilation."
"Fortunately, his mother escaped by taking him out to play, but his family's enemies had no intention of letting the mother and son go, and sent a large number of killers to look for their traces."
"In order to avoid their enemies, the mother and son hid in the open and in the open all the way. They were very embarrassed."
"I also met them by chance. After learning about their tragic situation, I risked my life to help them."
"But I have something important to do and I can't guard them all the time, so I taught him some self-defense sword skills so that he can protect himself."
When Qin Fengshan heard this, he suddenly realized: "Oh, that's it."
"I learn swordsmanship and will definitely avenge my dead father and family." Wei Jinhu said with a fierce look on his face as he bit into the cooked beef.
Qin Fengshan praised: "It is really rare to have such determination and perseverance at such a young age."
Who would have thought that Chi Fengcheng patted Wei Jinhu on the head and scolded: "Xiaohu, do you still remember why the master taught you the sword technique?"
"Is it to get you revenge?"
Wei Jinhu was scolded by Chi Fengcheng, and his face suddenly turned red. He hesitated and said: "You want me to learn martial arts to strengthen my body and protect the most important people around me."
"Huh, you still remember, I taught you so many days in vain." Chi Fengcheng hummed and nodded.
"Remember, your enemy has a deep background and huge power. In this Great Xia Empire, no one can shake him except the seven extraordinary families."
"Don't say it's you. Even if I face your enemy, I have to stay away and swallow my anger."
"Teaching you swordsmanship is not to get you revenge, but to protect your most important relatives."
"Killing will only blind you to reason. You must remember that the sword in your hand is used to protect your loved ones, not for you to kill."
Qin Fengshan on the side was shocked when he heard this.
Yes, there are thousands of types of weapons in the world, but many people practice martial arts just to kill, but they ignore its other most important aspect.
"The sword has two sides, one is to kill, the other is to protect!"
Qin Fengshan stood up, looked at the mountains and flowing water not far away, and murmured to himself: "But the vast majority of people who practice martial arts are born to kill, but they ignore their original nature."
"As a warrior, you should not only have eyes for killing, but also have the original intention to protect the loved ones around you."
"Although killing can make you stronger and stronger, you will gradually lose your true nature and become a madman who lives only for killing."
"Only by protecting your wife, children, and children, and protecting your relatives and friends, can people unleash greater potential and will."
"My previous direction was wrong. I understand. I finally understand."
Qin Fengshan had a conversation with Chi Fengcheng, and seemed to be inspired. A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind, like an enlightenment, enlightening his mind and his nature.
At this moment, he felt that the confusion hiding in front of him quickly dissipated, like a wave of clouds seeing the moon.
He finally understood why he couldn't improve his spiritual power after practicing martial arts before.
Because he has always been obsessed with the path of killing, but it went against the spirit of learning martial arts and guarding his people.
The killing is a fog that never ends.
If you don't get out of it, you will trap yourself forever and lose yourself.
After thinking about this, Qin Fengshan suddenly became enlightened, there was no longer any confusion in his eyes, and he was very excited in his heart.
After a while, the caravan took a rest and set off again.
When night fell, we finally arrived at Blue Maple City safe and sound.
Lanfeng City is a small city, located in a county in the northwest corner of Longyang Province. Although it is not as prosperous as Yanjing City, it has also been famous for a long time. At night, it is even more crowded.
After paying the entrance fee, the caravan stopped in front of a restaurant. Everyone gathered together for a meal and then went their separate ways.
The night in Blue Maple City is beautiful. The streets are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, as if a grand festival is being held. There are also various painted boats drifting along the river, attracting countless passers-by to watch and laugh constantly.
Qin Fengshan took Lin Qingyin and two followers to the street to enjoy the night view of the city.
Feeling the sounds of children playing around him, the cries of vendors and footmen, the whispers between lovers, bursts of laughter, and the noisy and prosperous scenes in front of him, made him feel unprecedentedly happy.
"This Blue Maple City is so lively!" Lin Qingyin walked aside, looking at the pairs of lovers leaning on each other and supporting each other, with envy in her beautiful eyes.
Qin Fengshan praised: "Yes, the sky is as cold as water at night, so I can lie down and watch Altair and Vega!"
"It's really rare to see such a night."
Lin Qingyin said calmly: "Master, why don't we stay a few more days and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Blue Maple City."
"Since you want to see it, then I'll let you do it." Qin Fengshan pinched Lin Qingyin's nose and said with a doting look on his face.
Lin Qingyin's pretty face turned red, her face was full of shyness, and her heart was like a deer bumping around, so sweet.
Late at night, a group of four people entered a restaurant. In order to prevent others from disturbing them, Qin Fengshan took over half of the floor with a wave of his hand, showing his wealth.
The restaurant owner was naturally overjoyed when he learned that the distinguished guest was here.
It was late at night, Qin Fengshan was staying in a superior guest room, and he couldn't sleep. He didn't know why, but he felt restless, so he opened the window to get some air.
A gust of cold wind blew in and poured directly into his chest, making him feel refreshed and refreshed.
The moonlight is bright and clear, and the misty light shines down, coating the earth with a layer of silver gauze, making it look very beautiful and moving.
At this moment, everything is completely silent.
On the criss-crossed streets, it is rare to see people walking around. Most civilians have already returned to their houses to sleep and have fallen into sweet dreams. There are only some patrols walking around on the streets, and occasionally there are a few dog barks.
, everything seems so dreamlike.
Raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to miss your hometown!
After coming to the world of divine fire for so long, the other soul in Qin Fengshan's body couldn't help but think of his wife, children and parents who were far away.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly leaped from outside Blue Maple City. Like a ghost, it transformed into a shadow on the eaves of high-rise buildings and leapt forward, covering tens of meters in a flash, at extremely fast speeds.
During the movement, a blurry shadow can be seen.
"What is that?" Qin Fengshan opened his eyes wide and looked at this scene in surprise.
I saw that mysterious shadow moving from far to near, and soon rushed into the city from the outskirts of the city. After several consecutive leaps, it arrived at a nearby street.
His identity is extremely strange, like a shadow, appearing and disappearing, and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The guards on duty on the streets patrolled the alleys, watching out for thieves with bad intentions who might steal property or do some shameful things.
However, when the black shadow flew over their heads, it did not cause the slightest movement.
Qin Fengshan noticed this strange scene and was filled with doubts.
He thought for a while, then rushed out and chased the mysterious black shadow.
Lin Qingyin was protected by Cao Jin and Xia Houxiong. He was not worried that anyone would harm her, so he ran out boldly.
Otherwise, he would not worry about leaving Qingyin alone in the restaurant.
Whoosh!
Qin Fengshan, carrying a sword, rushed out of the restaurant and chased the black shadow.
The mysterious figure jumped up in the city, flying through the air like a bird, then suddenly swooped down and darted into a dark alley very nimbly.
Qin Fengshan's eyes were extremely sharp, like an eagle's eyes, locking onto the opponent's figure.
If they were ordinary warriors, with the movement of this mysterious shadow, it would be like a ghost. Even if it passed by in front of them, they would not be able to detect any movement.
After the mysterious shadow ran into the dark alley, it quietly hid in the darkness, seeming to be waiting for something.
Qin Fengshan felt very strange when he saw this scene, so he quietly touched the corner of the house not far away and observed quietly.
At this time, a drunken man with a red face stumbled from the alley, stumbling along the way, humming an unknown ditty in his mouth, smiling and looking very happy.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a black shadow came over, strangled the drunk man's neck in an instant, and hit the wall next to him.
The drunk man woke up as if from a dream. He was frightened by the scene in front of him and shouted vaguely such words as "let go, let go".
It's a pity that he was strangled by the neck and no matter how much he screamed, it was of no avail.
The mysterious black figure took off his hood, revealing a face covered with strange lines, and his expression was as ferocious as a demon.
"Ghost, evil ghost...!" When the drunk man saw this scene, he was so frightened that his face turned blue, with a look of horror on his face.
A smile appeared on the corner of the mysterious man's mouth, his eyes lit up with a strange green light, and then he opened his mouth and took a breath.
A strong breath of essence and blood emerged from the drunken man's mouth and nose, turning into a mist and slowly entering the mysterious man's mouth.
"Ah!" The drunkard struggled wildly, letting out waves of painful low roars, but after a while, his breath became weaker and weaker, and his flesh and blood shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, like the bark of a tree that had been drained of moisture.
.
The mysterious man took a deep breath, then showed an intoxicated smile, threw away the mummy in front of him, and disappeared into the alley.
Qin Fengshan, who was not far away, was shocked when he saw this scene: "Extracting human bones and blood and absorbing human essence, isn't this the method of the demons?"
"Damn it, that mysterious shadow is clearly a spy of the demon clan."
"Even if it isn't, it probably has something to do with the demon clan."
Thinking of this, Qin Fengshan jumped up and came to the mummy. After checking the condition of the corpse, it turned out to be exactly what he had guessed.
A murderous intention suddenly grew in his heart, and he saw his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and he cursed in a low voice: "This guy's blood essence has been drained completely. That guy has such a strong demonic aura all over his body, he must be
The scum of the demon clan.”
"You dare to kill creatures in the human world and act recklessly. I will not spare you."
Qin Fengshan turned around and chased after the mysterious black shadow.
After about a while, the mysterious man in black avoided the patrol and quietly entered a courtyard.
The courtyard is quiet, with a large locust tree growing next to it.
With a whooshing sound, the mysterious black figure quietly came to the yard. After observing around for a while, he locked on the aura of the owner of the house, and immediately tiptoed closer, then quietly opened the door and rushed in.
Qin Fengshan leapt forward, arrived at the house, sensed the breath of the mysterious shadow, then uncovered a few bricks on the roof, and saw the scene inside at a glance.
It was quiet inside the house, and a couple was sleeping.
The mysterious black shadow quietly walked over, grabbed the man's head with his right hand, and grabbed the woman's head with his left hand, and swallowed them fiercely in his mouth like an evil ghost.
hiss!
Strange blood mist suddenly emerged from the mouths of the middle-aged man and middle-aged woman, and quickly penetrated into the mouth of the mysterious black shadow like smoke.
Within a short time, the couple's bodies shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then they died quietly in their sleep.
When Qin Fengshan saw this scene, he became furious and roared: "Stop!"
With a brush, a snow-white sword light lit up and struck directly at the mysterious black shadow.
The sudden loud shout made the mysterious black figure jump in fright, and immediately retreated violently.
With a bang, the entire house was immediately split in half, and countless rubble and bricks were shot in all directions.
"Who!" The mysterious black figure made a hoarse voice, staring at the collapsed ruins ahead.
Qin Fengshan, dressed in a white robe, walked out of the dust and fog, staring at the mysterious black figure in front of him with a fierce expression: "Are you a human or a demon?"
Hearing this, the mysterious black shadow was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "So what if it's a human, so what if it's a demon?"
"How dare you use the secret skills of the demons to extract human essence and blood and harm living creatures. You are so powerful and so courageous." Qin Fengshan said with a cold face, and his whole person was filled with murderous intent.
The mysterious black figure took off his hood and revealed a pale face. There were countless strange lines on his face, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying, like an evil ghost.
On a night like this, if ordinary people saw the other party's appearance, they would probably frighten three souls and seven souls.
Even Qin Fengshan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the other party's venerable appearance.
The other party exudes a strong demonic aura and dares to do such a heartbreaking thing in the human world. As a core member of the temple, Li Feng will naturally not let the other party go.
"No matter what, a mere mortal dares to mess with me. I'm tired of living." The mysterious shadow said hoarsely. As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person turned into an afterimage and flew towards Qin Fengshan.
The moment they met, a sharp claw clawed at Qin Fengshan's door, trying to crush Qin Fengshan's head.
Qin Fengshan's eyes were like lightning, and he waved his hand and struck with a knife.
The sharp claws and the sword collided together like lightning. There was a clang, sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of steel clashing spread throughout the countryside.
A strong force rushed over, instantly knocking the demon warrior upside down.
