night.
The fire was lit and crackled.
"What's your name?" Lin Changfeng chewed his meat and asked vaguely.
"I don't have a name yet." The boy shook his head and said.
The mountain wind blows.
Behind him, the firelight casts a flickering lone figure.
Lin Changfeng's eyes flickered, and he raised his head and took a big gulp of wine.
——Only about three years old, probably have some nicknames, but no official name.
Only when they were five years old, they were taken by their family members to the Immortal Gate, and after being seen by the disciples of the Immortal Gate, would they be given corresponding names according to their talents.
This little guy's relatives are all dead, so it's not certain whether he will be able to get a name in the future.
Thinking of this, Lin Changfeng handed over a steak.
"Eat it, it's delicious," he said.
The child shook his head and said, "I'm already full, but the water in your gourd can gather the power of many spiritual beings?"
"This is called wine—spiritual wine, I made it myself."
Lin Changfeng handed the gourd over and asked the child to smell it.
The child praised: "It's really good, can I have a drink?"
"Of course not, you are too young to bear the aura in this wine." Lin Changfeng said hurriedly.
He took the wine gourd back and asked, "What's your nickname?"
"I'm thinking about it too, but I can't think of it." The child said.
"Shall I think of one for you?"
"Tell me one and listen."
"Dog-left-how?"
"no."
"Dog?"
"No, can we change to another animal?"
"You look down on dogs?"
"That's not true, it's just detrimental to the majesty, and it will not be conducive to doing things in the future."
"Heh, you already want to be a fairy at such a young age?" Lin Changfeng teased.
Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew.
Lin Changfeng's expression changed, he waved out the fire, and said in a low voice, "Stay here and don't move, I'll go and see the situation."
Before the words fell, the person had disappeared from the spot.
The child sat in the dark, thought for a moment, and took out the rattle.
—When he arrived in Honghuang, he entered the body of a three-year-old child with such a toy hidden in his arms.
Although it's just a toy, it can exert some power for me.
that village...
Who exactly did it to kill everyone
The child stood up slowly, holding a rattle, and walked into the darkness.
Time passed slowly.
Breeze floats.
Lin Changfeng landed quietly, calling out in a low voice, "We're leaving, little guy."
He paused, and suddenly said anxiously: "Little guy? Where did you hide?"
The next moment.
Four men in black robes came out of the darkness and surrounded him.
The leader of the group looked at him and read: "The Tiger of Cangnan, Lin Changfeng..."
Lin Changfeng puffed up his chest, and said with a nonchalant expression: "It's my uncle, who are you?"
The four looked at each other.
The leader said humanely: "You have a good reputation, and some of the things you have done recently are really eye-catching. I heard that you have attracted the attention of the Daoist sect. It won't be long before you have the opportunity to receive an invitation to practice."
Lin Changfeng was startled, and murmured, "Why don't I know?"
The man smiled and said: "How can you, a little casual cultivator, be able to inquire about the affairs of the disciples of the saints?"
Lin Changfeng said: "Since you have heard my name and know that I will enter the immortal gate to practice, what are you doing around here? Asking for a reward?"
The man shook his head and said, "I didn't want to trouble you, but we checked the population of the last village and found that there was one person missing from the corpse."
"You guys are massacring the village?" Lin Changfeng's voice became gloomy.
The man sneered and said: "Don't pretend to be confused, we have always done this kind of thing—we checked some traces and found that it was a child, who should have escaped with you."
Lin Changfeng shook his head and said, "I haven't seen any children."
He suddenly drew out the two knives around his waist, and slashed behind him without looking back.
I saw thousands of heavy sword lights shining in the gloom, hitting an ax and a sword.
The sound of continuous clashes echoed through the ears, endlessly.
Suddenly, both the sword and the ax were swung away, and the two of them couldn't stand it, and they retreated dozens of steps to stabilize their figures.
A deep ravine appeared in the ground.
Lin Changfeng's figure was slightly bent, his hands clenched the long knife, and a murderous intent emerged from his body.
"Good knife skills!"
The person at the head applauded.
"Having killed countless people, it is naturally a good sword technique." Lin Changfeng said hesitantly.
The leader thought for a while, and said: "How about this, you only point us in one direction, and we will retreat immediately, even if we have never seen you."
"really?"
"really."
Lin Changfeng pondered for a moment, held the knife, and pointed in one direction.
The man cupped his fists and said, "There will be a period later."
He turned around and left with the other three.
Lin Changfeng stood where he was and waited quietly for a while.
"brat?"
he whispered.
From the towering tree above, there was a slight drum sound.
Lin Changfeng suddenly said: "It turns out that you are smart here."
He flew up to the branch and looked at the child.
In the darkness, the child stared at him with bright eyes and asked, "Why are you lying?"
Lin Changfeng said: "If I don't lie to them, you will die."
"Who are they?" asked the child.
"They're all killers," Lin Changfeng showed disdain, "They massacred villages nearby and killed countless old and weak women and children. They are not considered human beings at all."
"Killer, why do you want to kill unarmed ordinary people?"
"They'll do anything for money."
"Life should be more important than reward, right? Didn't the innate sages come near Mount Buzhou? How dare they kill so many people?" the child asked again.
This question stopped Lin Changfeng.
"That's right... this is at the foot of Mount Buzhou, and all the saints have announced that the innate saint will come." Lin Changfeng murmured.
The child opened a pair of clear eyes, and said lightly: "Since the saints want to meet the innate saints, why do they allow these killers to slaughter one village after another? It is said that as long as they take action, they will be able to stop all of this."
Lin Changfeng was stunned.
He shivered suddenly.
Even though he had always been careless, he finally understood something at this moment.
The waters in this matter are too deep.
— It's definitely not something that he, a casual cultivator, can mix in.
With a solemn expression, Lin Changfeng jumped down from the big tree with the child in his arms.
"Go—we've got to go fast, or they'll have trouble turning around and catching up."
He chose the direction opposite to the killers, and flew away with all his strength.
Time passed slowly.
The sky is white, and the dawn is getting brighter.
Lin Changfeng arrived at a ferry with the children.
There happened to be a boat crossing the river at the ferry, and there was no one in it.
"Huh-huh-as long as you cross this river, you will leave the area of Buzhou Mountain, and you should never meet those killers again." Lin Changfeng panted.
River
The child raised his eyes and looked far away, but found that he could not see the other side of the river at all.
This river is just like the ocean, the waves are like tides, flowing endlessly.
Standing at the edge of the water and looking down, I saw the rapid flow of the water, and an unknown huge body appearing and disappearing in the depths of the water.
Xu Shi saw his expression, and Lin Changfeng said: "This river is about 80,000 miles wide, with thousands of aquatic species, Dragon Palace and Yaochi, countless rare treasures, and there are water saints guarding it. Ordinary people are not allowed to fly over, they need to travel by ferry. , cannot exceed the etiquette."
"Those are the aquariums?" the child asked, pointing to the huge monsters in the river.
"It's the aquarium, don't mess with them—don't worry, they won't mess with the ferry either, there are rules for this," Lin Changfeng said.
He took out an extremely transparent jade coin from his pocket, counted eight and handed it to the boatman.
The boatman counted the money carefully and motioned for the two to board the boat.
Lin Changfeng lifted the child up, put it on his shoulders, and boarded the boat together.
for a moment.
The boat sailed.
The ferry gradually left the shore and drifted towards the rapids of the river.
Only then did Lin Changfeng heave a long sigh of relief, and slumped in his seat.
The child sat beside him quietly, looking back towards the water bank, and kept looking at the majestic Cangshan Mountain touching the sky.
— Buzhou Mountain.
Lin Changfeng thought he was sad and said:
"Don't look at it, wait until you grow up, in twenty or thirty years, you can come back to pay respects to your family at that time."
The child said in a trance: "I'm actually thinking, I really need a name so that you can call me."
"Oh? Do you want to name yourself?" Lin Changfeng asked with interest.
"It's a waste of energy to come up with a name. I happened to be looking at this Buzhou Mountain—my name is Gu Qingshan."
Lin Changfeng shook his head with a smile and said, "Little guy, only immortals are qualified to give people names. You are too foolish."
Suddenly a voice sounded from the other side of the boat:
"Yeah, it's too presumptuous to name yourself after Buzhou Mountain. Such a child should die soon."
Lin Changfeng's expression changed.
I saw eight men in black standing on the opposite side of the boat.
"meet again."
The leader clasped his fists and said.
——It was the killer leader who was deceived by Lin Changfeng before.
Lin Changfeng drew out his long knife and stood in front of the children.
He looked towards the stern of the boat, and saw that the boatman had been split in half long ago, and he couldn't die anymore.
The leader of the killer looked at Lin Changfeng quietly, and said with difficulty: "Lin Changfeng, ever since you lied to me, there is one thing I can't figure out."
"—You have a bright future, why do you want to save a child you don't know? Even offend us for this?"
Lin Changfeng said: "If I bump into it, I have to deal with it."
"No one forced you to act like this." The killer leader said.
Lin Changfeng held a pair of knives and laughed loudly: "My generation of practitioners, when we see injustice but do nothing, what kind of practice is it?"
The killer leader slowly drew out his weapon, and said in a slow voice: "It's not worth paying too much for some trivial things, let alone death."
"You think it's a trivial matter, but this trivial matter is my way, and this is what I cultivate." Lin Changfeng said in a deep voice.
All killers draw their weapons.
"It's a pity, go to hell!" The killer leader shook his head and said.
In an instant, the sky was completely dark, and the whole ship was shrouded in violent wind and rain, as if entering a completely different world.
boom!
Thunder rang.
In the torrential rain, the eight killers turned into skeletons in sharp armor and flew back and forth.
They intersperse alternately, sometimes hiding in the rain, sometimes appearing from the void, and gradually approaching Lin Changfeng.
Lin Changfeng opened his eyes wide, and shouted in a low voice: "The technique of the world—not good, Gu Qingshan, go hide in the cabin!"
After the voice fell, three skeletons suddenly flew out of the void, drawing their knives in three directions and slashing at Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan remained motionless.
He stared blankly at the rattle in his hand, as if he was muttering something.
"shameless!"
Lin Changfeng yelled, and stretched out his two knives, suddenly there were thousands of knives slashing in all directions.
The three skeletons were immediately knocked out and disappeared in the rainstorm again.
The voice of the killer leader sounded from the depths of the rainstorm: "The talent is good, but after all, he is a wild man. He doesn't know where his weakness is, so how can he stop the eight of us?"
Void moves.
The eight skeletons surrounded Lin Changfeng and shot at the same time.
Lin Changfeng let out a roar, raised his two sabers—
In an instant, swords, lights and swords were layered upon layers, like mountains and seas, densely covered everywhere, and there was an urgent clashing sound like a shower.
The breath is over.
All visions dissipate.
Lin Changfeng fell to his knees, his body covered with scars.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that I would die under the knives of a group of killers." He laughed at himself.
The killer leader said: "You stubborn person, you know, you could have joined my sect..."
Lin Changfeng's expression changed.
The killer leader also felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, raised his weapon and said, "I'll cut off your head right away, and everything will end here."
Lin Changfeng had only one breath left. Although he guessed many things at this time, he also knew that his life had come to an end.
He couldn't help but look in Gu Qingshan's direction.
Gu Qingshan's face was pale, he slowly raised the rattle in his hand, and shook it vigorously.
Boom—
The drums sounded.
"Kill them." Gu Qingshan said.
Lin Changfeng's eyes widened suddenly, but he saw the eight killers froze in place, as if they were restrained by something.
good chance!
Lin Changfeng aroused the last trace of strength in his body, and swung his two sabers vigorously, releasing a ray of white light.
swish—
Eight heads soared into the sky, flew out and hit the deck, making heavy "bang bang" sounds.
Just for a moment!
The outcome suddenly turned 180 degrees!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lin Changfeng vomited blood and laughed wildly.
Seeing that Gu Qingshan was trembling all over, he moved over step by step, and said sadly: "I'm sorry, it took me some time to activate this technique, but I still haven't caught up."
Lin Changfeng stared at the child in front of him with his tiger eyes open.
"Innate saint?" he asked.
"It is." Gu Qingshan said.
Lin Changfeng grinned and said, "Let's discuss, can you let me go to the next life—at least give me a better status."
"You save me once, the merit is enough to do this, there is still more." Gu Qingshan said.
Lin Changfeng thought for a while and said, "Then do me another favor."
"What?"
"Let me take care of the killers in my next life—so they don't always kill innocent people."
"Kindness can help a little, but more needs your own efforts." Gu Qingshan said.
"Okay, so it's settled?"
"deal."
Lin Changfeng nodded, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
He bowed his head and died.
