In the early morning, the villages at the foot of the mountains welcomed the first rays of the morning sun. Thick white mist draped over the mountains and villages like a veil. The red sunlight penetrated the white mist, glowing with
Shining like rubies.
The sound of cockcrow has been heard many times, and the village began to become noisy in the early morning.
Li Xiaoyao rubbed his eyes that had not yet woken up, and sat up from the bed reluctantly. The disturbing rooster crow seemed to not stop until it woke up everyone here.
. And Ye Yinfeng was sitting upright, sitting quietly on the wooden bench next to the bed. He did not lie down on the bed to sleep, but meditated on an old wooden bench, exercising and adjusting his breath for nearly an hour.
Although martial arts practitioners have internal support, they must also have proper sleep and self-cultivation. No, Li Xiaoyao didn't know what he chatted with Li Erniu last night. His face was full of excitement, and the rooster crowed several times without being disturbed.
Finally, coupled with the noisy noise outside the window, I woke up reluctantly.
Next to him was Li Erniu, who was snoring like a cow. He was sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up. His thick and strong muscles were exposed, and he was only wearing a Xiaoma Gua robe.
.Breaks of cold air came in from the broken wooden window, and the cold wind rushed in. Li Xiaoyao couldn't sleep anymore after a quickie, so he had to climb down from the dilapidated bed.
As soon as the little fat man got off the bed, he found that Ye Yinfeng had opened his eyes. He found that there was something unfamiliar to him in the other person's eyes, like twinkling stars and as deep as an abyss, but there was something else he couldn't name.
The temperament was contained in it. He couldn't help but walk up to Ye Yinfeng and look at him a few more times, and circled around him a few more times.
"Why, there are flowers on my face." Seeing the other party's weird behavior, Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said displeased. Because he always felt that there was always some weird look in the other party's eyes, so
The look in his eyes seemed to be looking at his little daughter-in-law, which made Ye Yinfeng feel a chill in his heart. He quickly jumped down from the wooden bench and ran out of the door like a frightened rabbit.
Li Xiaoyao was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party didn't want to see him so much. His face suddenly became angry and he chased after him with a roar.
In the end, Li Erniu didn't wake up on the bed. He turned a deaf ear to the old man's words last night and did not get up to send the two of them out of the village.
Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao washed themselves up and decided to leave the village. The village, which was supposed to be idle for farming, would be very peaceful and quiet, but at this time, there were men and women of all ages standing in front of the houses everywhere.
Groups of people. They did not come forward to speak to the two men, but watched with silent eyes as the young men left the village quietly.
At the entrance of the village, the old man suddenly appeared in front of them, accompanied by several strong young men they did not recognize. The old man's frosty hair and silver beard were like a thin layer of frost on the ground, and his stooped body became even more bent.
These young and strong men from the village came to see him off. The lonely old man stood in the cold wind, and the silver frost on the ground was like the first snow, tearing away the vicissitudes of life.
Li Xiaoyao noticed that the waists of these young and strong men were all hung with shining flying knives, like the silver frost on the ground shining dazzlingly under the red sunlight.
"I hope you two friends will keep everything about this village a secret. As for the things about this hidden clan, you two will meet again when the opportunity comes. Please take care of yourself along the way."
Before leaving, the old man didn't say much and repeatedly asked them to keep the secret of this village.
Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng saluted and said goodbye to the old man and several young strong men. They felt the frightening halo of the gleaming flying knives on the waists of those young strong men, and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. If these flying knives were
If you feed the knives to them, how miserable will your death be?
They didn't know what the old man meant by bringing such strong men with flying knives hanging from their waists to see him off. It was a threat or a warning. Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng had the same idea in their minds. They couldn't help but feel that this trip was really a big loss.
After making a fortune, I didn't get any benefits, but instead offended a killer inexplicably.
At a glance on the mountain trail, one could see a vast expanse of frost covering the ground, as if it were covered with a fine layer of sea salt. A cold wind like a razor blade blew directly into the base of the ears, causing them to ache.
The two of them stepped on the frost on the fallen grass, like two small insects moving on the white cloth.
"Why do you have a beard?" Li Xiaoyao looked at Ye Yinfeng with an exaggerated expression, and then said strangely.
Ye Yinfeng accidentally touched his chin subconsciously, and he felt that there were some prickly, fluffy stubble. He felt that his chin began to become hard and rough, and was no longer as smooth and soft as before.
He felt like he had grown up overnight. He only had the body of a fifteen-year-old boy, but after experiencing too many tribulations, his mind had begun to mature gradually, and he could no longer be the carefree Ye Ye.
The young master of the family.
"Miss Nangong has taken notice of her, and she has begun to mature. It's not bad." Li Xiaoyao touched his chin, which was as smooth as jade, but there was only smooth fat, and then nothing.
He couldn't help but joked.
"Just you, little brat, stop thinking about adult matters and think about how to unify your Taoist sect and become the supreme Taoist saint in the world. This is your first priority."
"Yes, I will be the Supreme Taoist Saint who will unify the Taoist sects in the world in the future. How can I get caught up in the common things in this mortal world? In the future, after I unify the Taoist sects, I will assign you a protector. How about it? That's enough.
Let’s be loyal.”
"What a devil, I don't care about your Taoist guardian. I'd better sink slowly in my mortal world."
"You have little potential, I have such a great goal in life, but you are just like this, without any goal in life. From now on, don't say that you are my disciple, or that you know this Saint."
"By the way, fat Taoist priest, if you unify the Taoist sect, what will happen to that person? You are not deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors in disguise. You will be punished by God."
"Bah, bah, bah, the crow's mouth is here to curse this Taoist saint. Master, how can he care about this mere door in the mortal world? His old man's heart is not in this mortal world. Besides, this Taoist saint is his descendant.
The Taoist sect will not insult his reputation, so how can it be said that he deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors."
"Don't be complacent. Wait until you reach that day. It would be nice if you had a horse to ride on."
"Where are the horses in this wilderness? It's early in the morning, so don't daydream here."
After all, the two of them are still young at heart. Although they have experienced a lot and have matured a lot, their simple nature has not changed much. Along the way, the two of them walked in the wilderness on the rustling silver frost.
Behind them is a stretch of majestic mountains shrouded in clouds and mist. The green mountains are covered with a layer of gauze and are quiet and quiet, just like a meditative old man watching the two teenagers leave.
The two of them didn't know how far they had walked. They just felt that the sun was gradually rising from the east to the high sky like a big pancake, and white clouds were running around in the blue sky like sheep.
It's good-looking.
They passed through a mountain canyon and walked on an official road. At this time, they did not know where this place was, so they could only walk in the northeast direction based on their feelings.
Although the winter sun is high, it can't hide the thick bone-chilling cold that is raging wildly on this land. The cold wind is as biting as a knife, blowing, and the solemn and solemn feeling with nowhere to hide is only facing the two of them.
Go away in time.
Along the way, they also talked about the ancient and mysterious Hidden Clan. Although the old man did not give them very satisfactory information, the unhappiness in the two people's hearts gradually disappeared. After all, everything cannot be had.
The perfect answer is the real existence if there are regrets.
There is one long pavilion for ten miles, and one short pavilion for five miles. Outside the long pavilion in front, the flag of a wine shop flutters in the wind, making a "huohuo" sound under the winter sun.
The wine shop was bustling with people. There were porters, peddlers, and official servants in official uniforms coming and going. Several horses with bright and plump coats made long neighing sounds in the stables of the wine shop.
.
This is a wine shop in a rural village. It is not large in scale. Because it is located next to the official road, it takes several hours to walk to the city in front. Therefore, the business here is very good. The business on the official road passing by is very good.
Merchants, pawns, and officials all chose to stay here, and then set off again after having enough food and wine.
Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng came to this wine shop with tiredness as if they were tired from the journey. They couldn't help but smile bitterly when they looked at the crowded wine shop. At this time, they even scolded the old man in their hearts.
He didn't even give them breakfast, so he drove them away in a hurry, as if he was chasing away the god of plague.
Several tables placed next to the official road were full of people, and the crowds were lively. The visitors chatted from all over the world, and they didn't pay much attention to these two young people who had come from all walks of life.
There was no one sitting at a decent table. Feeling their stomachs that were already growling with hunger, the two of them walked towards the table without hesitation.
After the two of them were seated, the attentive waiter immediately stepped forward and tried his best to satisfy the customers with a smile, then stepped forward and shouted: "Two guests, what do you want to eat? The store will try its best to meet your requirements."
The waiter in the shop did not look down on these two people because they were young teenagers. Instead, he greeted them as enthusiastically as ever. This shows that the waiter in the shop has a unique vision and must be a person who has experienced many accidents in relationships.
"Let's have some side dishes, I'm starving to death." Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and said in an old-fashioned way, still looking like an old man.
After the waiter left, they sat and looked around at the customers. They were also secretly surprised. They didn't expect that there were so many people here. There were not only hawkers and servants, but also official servants, but there were fewer people from the world. At most
They were still hawkers, and one or two government officials in official uniforms were sitting at a table not far from them. They also carried a bag on their backs, and a pair of hands pulled the bag on their backs from time to time, which showed that there was a
There must be some important documents or something.
At this time, a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats came from far to near, and appeared in front of everyone in a moment.
But I saw several strong men in fine clothes on the official road riding high-headed horses and surrounded by a richly dressed fur-robed young man coming from north to south. There were eight of them and eight horses.
When this group of people were approaching the wine shop, they couldn't help but slow down their horses. Seeing that the wine shop was full of people, they couldn't help but frowned, but they still reined in their advancing horses and glanced at the wine shop intently.
A pair of sharp eyes shot out a sharp light, and after looking at the wine shop for a moment, the group of people quickly jumped off the horse and went straight to the door of the wine shop.
The sharp-eyed waiter had long seen this group of people dressed in extraordinary clothes, especially the man who looked like a young master in a white fur robe. He was very majestic and an extraordinary person. He was about to go up to him, but in the end he hesitated and did not go up.
In front of me, the guests dining in the restaurant also stopped talking. They all raised their eyes to look at this group of people. When their eyes met the sharp eyes of those strong men, they all felt shuddered in their hearts and quickly withdrew their gazes.
.
At this moment, all the tables belonging to this place are full of people, except for Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng, whose table is empty and stands out.
The young master Bai Qiu glanced around and found that the place was already crowded. His sword-shaped eyebrows above his star-like eyes were frowned tightly, with a displeased look on his face. Seven men in well-dressed clothes followed closely behind him.
There was a solemn look on his face, and he looked around with vigilant eyes.
"Guests, do you want to give me a tip?" The waiter still greeted him. He also knew the situation at this time, but he couldn't lose the business at his doorstep.
The displeased look on the young man's face became more intense, and he said lightly: "Are all the tables in your shop here? There are no private rooms or anything like that."
"I'm sorry, Sir, why don't you wait a little longer? Some tables are almost used up and there will be free tables soon." The waiter tried his best to use his attentive smile and flattering words to retain the business, feeling in his heart
I also secretly cursed those customers who only ordered a few cheap side dishes and occupied the space.
The young man in white fur robe glanced around and saw the conspicuously empty table with only two people at it. When he saw clearly that there were only two young boys sitting at the table, his eyes couldn't help but flash.
Flashed.
Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts. The other party's intentions were obvious. Although there were seven or eight people on the other side, they had no reason to be afraid. They could only wait and see what the young master would do next.
Sure enough, the young master arranged for four people to lead the horse to the stable, and then led three well-dressed men, ignoring the waiter, and walked towards the table of Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao.
The young man in white fur robe came to their table and did not say anything. Instead, he took out a piece of silver from his fur robe and threw it on the table. He did not say anything, but looked at An Ran with condescending eyes.
