A gust of mountain wind blew, and little Hai Ren slowly woke up. He staggered towards the entrance of the Three Rocks Crossing. At this time, the sky was already bright. Little Hai Ren arrived at the place where he had parked the boat last night. There were only a few bloodstains on the beach by the river. A few pieces of broken wood from the boat floated on the blood-stained river bank. A blood-stained tiger pillow was placed on the water caltrop vine.
That was the tiger pillow that his sister often hugged. When Little Hai Ren saw this, tears flowed down his face. He swore to himself," Just you wait, I, Nan Hai Ren, will personally destroy you one day.
It did not matter that he swore this oath. From today onwards, the Emotional Severing Sect's future was destined-destruction. He picked up the tiger pillow and washed it carefully with the river water, as if he was afraid of damaging it. Then, he placed the tiger pillow on a stone by the river to dry. He sat down facing the Yangtze River and looked at the Yangtze River, crying silently.
Little Hai Ren sat by the river and thought for a long time. He thought of his mother's love for him, his father's teachings, his little brother and sister's mischievousness when they played together... All of this was because the Emotional Severing Sect had left him overnight. What was left were endless memories and endless hatred. Her father was thousands of miles away in the capital, and she had no relatives. What should she do? His stomach began to growl. It was already noon, so he should fill his stomach first. Little Hai Ren put away the tiger pillow, reached into his pocket, and took out the Universe Bag, putting the tiger pillow inside. Then, he kept the Universe Bag close to his body and walked towards the small town not far away from his head.
When they arrived at the town, they found a noodle stall and sat down. Little Hai Ren ordered a bowl of noodles and started eating. The owner of the noodle shop was a woman in her thirties with a four or five-year-old girl. She said to Little Hai Ren,"Little brother, why are you eating noodles alone? Where are your parents?”This question immediately made little Hai Ren sad. He put down his chopsticks and tears fell unconsciously."Aunt, mother and I went to the capital to seek refuge with father. We encountered robbers last night and both mother and sister were killed.”After saying that, Little Hai Ren started crying. Because he was blown by the mountain wind after fainting last night, plus the sun by the river in the morning, he was in an excited state. When he met the woman's kind question, Little Hai Ren only felt the sky spin and fainted.
The woman quickly picked up Little Hai Ren and touched his forehead. It was very hot. She immediately pinched his philtrum to wake him up. She turned to the stall owner next door and said,"Brother Li, please help me look after the noodle stall. If someone comes to eat noodles, they won't be selling them. Just say that the stall owner has something to do.”With that, she carried Little Hai Ren and led her daughter home.
In the blink of an eye, Little Hai Ren had been staying at the woman's house for three days. During these three days, the little girl Duan Qiushuang and Little Hai Ren were inseparable. They called each other big brother and short brother. Little Hai Ren seemed to have returned to the time when he played with his sister.
Little Hai Ren already knew that it was Aunt Duan who had saved her. Her husband was a boatman who had died in a storm two years ago while fishing. Now, the mother and daughter were making a living by selling noodles. Little Hai Ren's condition had improved, but his body was still a little weak. He would recover in a few days. In order not to affect Aunt Duan's family, Little Hai Ren went to the noodle stall with Aunt Duan every day to help take care of it.
On this day, two scholars were talking about keeping their word while eating noodles at a noodle stall. Little Hai Ren felt his heart light up. That's right, mother also said this to me. Since I promised the old grandpa to send his sect's things back, I should overcome all difficulties to do it. At the same time, he could also learn a unique skill to seek revenge from the Heartless Sect. Little Hai Ren did as he thought.
That night, after returning to Aunt Duan's house, Little Hai Ren said to Aunt Duan,""Hai Ren thanks aunty for saving me and taking me in. Now that I've completely recovered, I plan to leave Sanyan Crossing and go to the capital to find my father. Thanks to aunty and Qiushuang's care, I feel like I'm at home again.”After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Aunt Duan.
Aunt Duan quickly went forward to help Little Hai Ren up and said,""Hai Ren, you don't have to thank me. This is just Auntie's duty as a human. I believe that one day, when Auntie is in trouble, you will also help her. This place is far from the capital. How can a child like you go there? It's better to wait until you're older before going."
Little Hai Ren said," I can't repay you for your kindness. If you don't mind my stupidity, I'm willing to worship you as my foster mother. In the future, I'll be filial to you."”
Aunt Duan said,"To be able to have such a son is really a blessing from my previous life. My dear son and mother can't ask for more."”
Little Hai Ren knelt down and kowtowed nine times to Aunt Duan again. He changed the way he addressed her and said,""Mother, son will first go to the capital to find father. After finding father, he will come back to bring mother to the capital to enjoy life.”As he spoke, he took out a Dust-avoiding Pearl from his Qiankun Bag and handed it to Xiao Qiu Shuang,""Little sister, this is from big brother. This is the Dust Avoiding Pearl. After little sister wears it, the dust won't be on her. Then little sister will be clean and fragrant every day.”
Little Qiu Shuang took the Dust Avoiding Pearl and said," Thank you, brother. I'll bring it with me. As long as I miss you, I'll take it out and take a look."”
Little Hai Ren insisted on leaving, and his foster mother, Aunt Duan, couldn't stop him, so she gave him some money to cover his travel expenses to the capital. He just had to wait until tomorrow morning to send Little Hai Ren on his way. Little Hai Ren took out most of his belongings from his bag and stuffed them under his bed while his foster mother was not paying attention. He then wrote a short message under the moonlight.
The next day, Little Hai Ren tearfully bid farewell to his foster mother, Aunt Duan, and his younger sister, Duan Qiushuang. He then walked along the river and walked for a long distance. When Little Hai Ren looked back, he could still see his foster mother and younger sister Qiushuang waving at him. Little Hai Ren knelt down and kowtowed to his foster mother in the distance before striding forward. Little Hai Ren asked around as he walked. When the money his foster mother gave him was spent, he begged all the way. He stayed in the temple at night and headed for Kongtong Mountain. Sometimes, he wrote letters on behalf of others to earn some money. She had experienced the cold and warmth of the human world at such a young age. Every time she could not sleep at night, she would think of her mother, her younger sister, and her adopted mother. It was as if she had endless strength.
In the blink of an eye, Little Hai Ren had been out for more than two months. It was already winter, and the weather was getting colder. Little Hai Ren had grown taller and stronger, and the clothes on his body had become a little small. In order to resist the cold, Little Hai Ren wore all the clothes in his bag, but he still felt cold. In order to keep out the cold, Little Hai Ren jogged on the road after asking for directions every day, except for asking for a day's dry rations in places with people.
At noon, Little Hai Ren was tired from running. He wanted to find a place to avoid the wind and eat some dry food. He opened the bag and saw that there was not much dry food left. It was only enough to fill his hunger. He suddenly remembered that when he asked for directions in the morning, the uncle told him that there was no one within a hundred miles of the small village. Little Hai Ren gulped and wrapped the bag again, thinking that he should endure it until dinner. Little Hai Ren tightened his belt and quickly walked forward.
As they were walking, suddenly, a whoosh came from the side of the mountain road!”A rabbit jumped out of the ground. When Little Hai Ren saw it, he immediately became energetic. It was good to be able to catch a rabbit to eat. Little Hai Ren excitedly chased after the rabbit. The rabbit ran towards the top of the mountain in a panic. Little Hai Ren kept chasing after the rabbit until it reached the top of the mountain. The rabbit plunged into the mountain wall covered by a pile of grass and shrubs and stopped.
Little Hai Ren came closer and opened it with his hand to take a look. Behind the thatch and shrubs was a one-foot-tall cave. There were obvious signs of piling up around the cave. Little Hai Ren pushed around the hole with his hands and found that the traces of earth and stone sealing the hole were obviously loose. With curiosity, Little Hai Ren used his hands to expand the hole by one foot, just enough for one person to easily climb in.
Little Hai Ren took out a luminous pearl from his Qiankun Bag and climbed into the cave with one hand. The cave was very dry and the deeper he went, the wider the cave became. Finally, he could stand up and walk. About 200 meters in, Little Hai Ren smelled a fragrance. After smelling it, he felt refreshed and relieved. Little Hai Ren wondered what the smell was. It was too good.
There was a sudden turn in the cave. With the light of the luminous pearl, Little Hai Ren saw that there was a space of about 100 feet in front of him. There was a five-foot-wide pool near the mountain wall. The water in the pool was dark green, but strangely, it was so deep that it could reach the bottom. It was also emitting white steam. In the middle of the pool was a three-foot-tall strange tree. On the tree were nine fiery red fruits the size of luminous pearls. The fragrance was constantly emitted from the fruits. There was a skeleton next to the pool, and next to the skeleton was a pile of bones of an unknown animal.
Little Hai Ren bowed to the skeleton and said,""Senior, please forgive this junior for disturbing you. This junior is really starving and chased wild rabbits here. After this junior picks the wild fruits, this junior will bury senior's bones in peace.”After saying that, he took out the Water Repellent Pearl and walked into the pool to pick nine fruits from the strange tree. As the fruits were picked, the strange tree became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.
Looking at the fiery red fruits, Little Hai Ren couldn't stand the fragrance anymore. He picked one up and put it into his mouth. The fruit immediately melted into his body fluid as soon as it entered his mouth. It was really fragrant. Then, Little Hai Ren ate two more fruits in a row and put the remaining six into his Universe Bag.
After walking out of the pool and keeping the Water Repellent Bead, Little Hai Ren came to the skeleton. At this moment, Little Hai Ren felt a warm current rise in his lower abdomen. His originally cold body no longer felt cold. He definitely couldn't be greedy in the future. It seemed that this fruit was poisonous. Little Hai Ren dived into the pool and felt a cool breeze rise from the top of his head. His body was soft and he fell asleep unknowingly. Little Hai Ren's body turned pink in the pool. A black sticky liquid was flowing out of his pores. As the sticky liquid flowed out less and less, the color of Little Hai Ren's body turned from pink to as tender as jade. The green liquid in the pool was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, there was not a single drop left, leaving only a three-foot-long stone pit.
Little Hai Ren was sleeping in the pit.
After an unknown period of time, Little Hai Ren woke up.
Little Hai Ren felt refreshed after waking up. He had an endless amount of energy in his body. He felt that the cave was very bright, and he could see things more clearly than when he first entered the cave with the help of the night pearl.
Little Hai Ren quickly put on his clothes and put away the Universe Treasure Bag and the Night-Luminescent Pearls that had fallen to the ground. He came to the skeleton and kowtowed. Then, he took out a small sword from his Universe Bag and dug a pit three feet long, two feet wide, and two feet deep near the mountain wall. Then, he put the bones into the pit one by one. When he was cleaning up the bones, he found that there was a piece of paper and silk under the bones. It was covered with words.
The content is as follows: I am a first-rank loose cultivator, already in the Mahayana Realm. I was about to ascend when I found this cave. There is a Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Tree in the Xuantian Kongling Cave. It is originally a treasure of the Immortal World. It blooms once every 30,000 years, bears fruit once every 60,000 years, and matures after 90,000 years. When it matures, its fragrance wafts. Eating one can increase your lifespan by 40,000 years. At the same time, a cold dragon was accompanying the Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Dragon Fruit to protect the Nine Heavens Dragon Fruit. When I arrived, I saw that the dragon fruit was still 2,000 years old. I planned to open a cave abode here to cultivate. I wanted to use the spiritual energy of the Mysterious Sky Spirit and the Nine Heavens Dragon Fruit to ascend to the Upper Realm as soon as possible. I didn't want to wake up the Cold Dragon. This divine beast thought that I was spying on the Nine Heavens Dragon Fruit and attacked me. I fought with the cold dragon for half a month and finally killed it, but I was also heavily injured. My Dao foundation was completely damaged and my vitality was gone. He left behind a copy of the Daluo Heavenly Divine Technique, a bottle of Heaven Seizing Pills, a high-grade immortal sword, a Cold Dragon Inner Core, thirty-six dragon balls, and a high-grade immortal storage bracelet. He gave them to the fated person, Patriarch Yuan Shi.
Little Hai Ren finished reading Patriarch Yuan Shi's message and found a palm-sized ancient sword with a sheath, a bracelet that was neither gold nor jade, a jade bottle, a jade slip that was sparkling with spiritual light, an egg-sized white pill-the inner core of the Cold Dragon, and a pile of walnut-sized transparent beads. They must be the Dragon Balls of the Cold Dragon. After Little Hai Ren buried the bones in the pit, he bowed three times at Patriarch Primeval Stone's grave. Then, he put the items mentioned by Patriarch Primordial Stone into his Universal Treasure Bag.
Little Hai Ren came out of the cave and found that it was snowing. The north wind was blowing, but he didn't feel cold at all. He identified the direction and strode forward.
