There is a small town in the northern mountains at the junction of Zhenwu Kingdom and Ten Thousand Beast Kingdom. There are not many residents here, only a few dozen families, and most of them are hunters in the mountains. The reason why they live in the mountains is not by choice.
The main reason why the land is more fertile in the valley and plain is that it is not far from the Kingdom of Beasts, and strong beast tides will break out in summer and winter of the year.
Those ferocious beasts from the Kingdom of Beasts are extremely ferocious and different from the ordinary beasts living in the mountains and wilderness. Moreover, they are always led by one or two beast kings. You must know that the intelligence of those beasts that have absorbed the true energy of heaven and earth is no longer than that of ordinary beasts.
The person is bad.
“Old Chen, winter will come in a few months! Why haven’t you prepared food for the winter?” an old hunter carrying a crossbow said to another old man beside him.
The old man surnamed Chen sighed slightly and looked at the gray mountains to the north. There had been a light snowfall at this time, and the withered and yellow weeds on the mountains had long been buried underneath.
“Xiaosi went to Daocheng some time ago, and he calculated that he should be back last night. But it’s already noon, and there’s still no news.” Old Chen said worriedly.
The old man carrying a crossbow took a breath of white mist and frowned: "Which way did Xiao Si take to Daocheng at this time?"
Old man Chen's expression froze slightly and he muttered: "Let's go, take the Nanshan Road..."
The old man carrying a crossbow widened his eyes and said anxiously: "What? Nanshan Road! You are confused, Old Chen! What if... what if you encounter a pack of wolves?"
This small town is located in the mountains on the border of Zhenwu Kingdom. To be precise, it is the northern mountains adjacent to the border. The Nanshan Road that Old Man Chen mentioned naturally refers to the southern mountain road in the mountains, which is less than ten miles away from the junction with the Kingdom of Beasts.
"Hey! Old man Sun, stop talking! I'm anxious too. I don't want them to come back earlier. Who would have thought..." Old man Chen was very anxious, but he had no choice but to squat there and twitch.
He picked up the dry cigarette he wore in his waist.
Old Man Sun, who was carrying a crossbow, saw that the other party was so worried, so he said: "There will be no place to go out to search. Besides, we have a bunch of old bones. We can hunt rabbits, pheasants and so on.
But if we really have to fight against the ferocious beast, I’m afraid it will be in vain.”
How could Mr. Chen not understand these principles? He couldn't do it just by letting things go and waiting like this.
Just when the two of them were at a loss what to do, Old Man Sun, who was carrying a crossbow, suddenly thought of something.
“Hey Ya! By the way! Instead of worrying here, why not go find that little Taoist?”
When Old Man Chen heard this, he raised his head and looked at his companions beside him. He still had a dry cigarette in his mouth, but naturally he forgot to smoke it at this moment. He asked with some emotion: "Is this... is this reliable?
?”
Old man Sun raised his eyebrows, waiting for his big eyes to ask: "Then tell me, what else can you do?"
Old man Chen sighed, stood up from the ground, and walked towards the north of the town.
This town is called Daoxiang Town. If you have never been here, you will definitely think that this is a prosperous town with fragrant rice flowers and fertile fields. In fact, Daoxiang Town does not produce rice, but grows a variety of rice.
The grain grown in the mountains is called mountain barley.
This cereal is a grass plant that grows in the mountains and has a small yield. It tastes sweet but has a grainy texture, but it is one of the most important crops in the mountains.
This kind of mountain barley cannot be eaten directly. It needs to be ground into powder first and then made into pancakes. Therefore, the supplies in Daoxiang Town are not very rich, and they all rely on the town not far to the east, Daocheng. The hunters in the town will pick it.
Things such as medicinal herbs or hunted prey will be transported to Daocheng for sale, and then replaced with sweet rice.
Daocheng's biggest obsession for the residents of the town is rice. This is also the fundamental reason why the county residents named the town "Daoxiang". It is also their yearning for a better life.
Soon the two old men came to a hut at the north end of the village. More than a month ago, a young Taoist priest came to the village. He wore a moon-white Taoist robe and a Taoist bun on his head. He looked very
He is handsome and clean, with a height of about 7 feet 5 inches and 177 centimeters, but he is not that old, maybe fifteen or sixteen, or seventeen or eighteen. Although this young Taoist priest talks a little old-fashioned,
But he still shows a kind of youthful vitality in every move he makes.
This young man came to the town via a small road and repaired a shabby hut at the northern end to live in. On weekdays, he did not stay in the town, but went out to the mountains. The villagers knew that there were many Taoist priests in the mountains.
Looking for various herbal medicines, it’s not surprising.
Although Daoxiang Town is a border town in Zhenwu Kingdom, it is no stranger to Taoist priests. After all, the Zhenwu Dao Hall, the state religion of Zhenwu Kingdom, is the ancestral home of Taoism. There are many Taoist sects in Zhenwu Kingdom, and there are endless Taoist priests at each mountain gate.
Therefore, the people in the town gradually accepted this young Taoist priest. Occasionally, hunters would return from the mountains and talk about their experience of encountering this young Taoist priest. It was just a coincidence that this mysterious little Taoist priest seemed to be born
I just love to join in the fun.
A few days ago, in the mountains to the north, there was a strange beast king, the Spirit Bear King, and a golden eagle with a wingspan of ten feet in a mountain spring.
The wild beasts in the mountain stream were naturally frightened and caused quite a commotion. Naturally, it also attracted the attention of the hunters in the small town.
However, the Orion naturally knew how much he weighed, so he only dared to watch from a distance to see if there were any leaks that could be picked up. The two kings of strange beasts probably fought over a genius treasure in the spring mountain stream.
. And that time, the hunters were surprised to find that the young man wearing a moon-white robe also appeared there. He didn't seem to be very afraid of these two strange beast kings.
Later, the Bear King and the Golden Eagle fought, and all the hunters were afraid of being affected, so they withdrew one after another. No one knew what the final result would be, but the young man Xiaodao came back intact the next day.
From then on, the hunters in the village knew that this little Taoist priest might not be simple.
The reason why Old Man Sun advised Old Man Chen to find the other party was because he was sure of this, so he was treating a dead horse as a live doctor!
…
Both of them were born as hunters, so their hands and feet were naturally light and they walked without making any noise. It wasn't that they could do it, it was mainly because they did it subconsciously. After all, this little Taoist priest was very mysterious in the hearts of the townspeople.
People are naturally afraid of unknown things, so the two of them subconsciously slowed down their pace.
They passed through the not-high fence and discovered the figure of the young man Xiaodao. He was not wearing the moon-white Taoist robe, but a dark vest of unknown material with strange buckles all over it.
The young man was wearing this vest, and he was shirtless underneath. He was currently holding a dark dagger, and he kept repeating the action of drawing the sword and putting it away.
The two looked at each other and saw shock in their eyes. It was not that they had never seen Taoist priests before, but the image of Taoist priests in their impressions was mostly middle-aged and elderly Taoist priests with beards and holding a curtain.
.On this hanging curtain, there is often written "xxx Banxian'er approves fortunes, reads fortunes, and calculates fate" or simply draws a big gossip picture.
It is extremely rare for a Taoist priest like Young Xiaodao who constantly wields a sword to practice martial arts.
"You two are here, do you have something important to do?" the little Taoist priest asked calmly, and at the same time he put away the dark sword blade in his hand and put it on the stone table beside him.
Old man Sun pushed the old man surnamed Chen next to him. The old man surnamed Chen laughed twice and said, "I'm disturbing the immortal master's practice!"
Yi Xifeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am not a Taoist priest, let alone an immortal master, so why bother? Since we all live here, we are fellow villagers, so if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
Old man Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself: What? He is not a Taoist priest? Then...then isn't this a dirty thing?
When he thought of this, the last glimmer of hope that had been ignited was extinguished in his heart. Suddenly, the old man's face became very pale, and his lips began to tremble.
When Old Man Sun, who was carrying a crossbow, saw this, he sighed secretly and said: "It's Old Man Chen's mistress. He went to Daocheng a few days ago. Logically speaking, he should have returned last night, but he still hasn't come back yet."
Not home...so..."
At this point, Old Man Chen finally came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "So, please tell me when will my son come back?"
When the young man heard this and thought of the previous conversation, he immediately understood the intention of the two people. He smiled slightly and said calmly: "I just said it, I am not a Taoist priest, I am a fortune teller.
No one knows this skill..."
Hearing what he said, the two old men were also very frustrated. Just as they were about to leave, the Xiaodao continued: "However, I can generally help you find out if there is any news about your son around, but I dare not
I guarantee you’ll find it.”
As soon as he heard this, Old Chen suddenly became excited and said quickly: "I hope my little brother can help me!"
Young man Xiaodao closed his eyes and saw no movement from him, as if he was in trance. The two old men Sun and Chen did not dare to disturb him.
After about five breaths, he suddenly asked: "How many people did your son go out with?"
…”
Old man Sun poked Old Man Chen who was still in a daze.
“Oh, oh, my mistress went with the Zhao brothers. There are seven of them in the group.”
The young man frowned and continued: "Are you taking the Nanshan Road?"
When Old Man Chen heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I came back from Nanshan Road!" Apparently he was shocked by the other party's "supernatural power".
The young man opened his eyes and said calmly: "That should be right. Thirty-five miles away from here, there is a convoy coming this way. They should be coming from Nanshan Road, but they are not taking the right way. I guess
They were attacked because they were moving very slowly and there are only four people left."
"What?! There are only four people left? Then, the fourth guy..." Old man Chen stood there blankly as if he had been struck by lightning.
The young man shook his head and said: "I only know this, don't be stunned, hurry up and take people over to rescue you! If you go early, people may save you."
Hearing this, the two of them suddenly woke up and immediately bowed to thank them. The young man informed the two of them of the specific location, and they immediately gathered their troops and rushed over.
Looking at the two people leaving in a hurry, and the shouts of the hunters gathering from outside not long after, the young man sighed, sat down at the stone table in the thatched cottage, where there was a sapphire-colored wine gourd, and drank.
stand up.
…
“Five years!”
Young man Xiaodao said slowly.
This person is none other than the former fair boy, Yi Xifeng! For more than five years, he has been practicing exercises in the Zhenwu Dao Hall and learning all the useful things he came into contact with. Finally, a few months ago, he met the trial requirements.
.So he took the outer disciples’ trial mission from Zhenwu Mountain and came down the mountain.
In five years, he has changed a lot, the most obvious of which is the growth of his physical body. The once ten-year-old boy is now fifteen years old. Due to the constant feedback of alcohol on his body, his height has also increased.
In the past five years, it has increased by seven or eight centimeters, reaching the standard of one meter and seventy-seven meters.
Due to the characteristics of the skill, although he often performs weight-bearing training, the meridians and major points throughout his body will experience the process of tearing and breaking every day, but they will be restored to the same state the next day. His super physical recovery ability makes his physical body and meridians
It has become extremely tough, and there is no exaggerated bulge.
Even though he was bare-armed and wielding a sword just now, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know how to do it, Yi Xifeng is still very capable, and they can't see that this body that is not strong contains such huge power!
When he left Xiaoyuan Academy, the four of them sent to various sects naturally went their separate ways. He took a boat to go north to the Kingdom of Beasts, and spent more than half a month on the boat before crossing from south to north.
Traveling through the entire Kingdom of Beasts, he entered the Kingdom of Zhenwu.
