The Urban Legends of Monsters: The End of the World (2)

"Stay brother!"

"Stay brother! Where are you!"

"Stay... Oops, you really are a child, why are you standing here without saying a word to you! It's been so long for you to pick up a sniper, and everyone is worried." An earth wolf from a distance Calling Brother Liu's name, he hurried over, and before he finished complaining, he saw the snake corpse in Brother Liu's hands, and was startled again: "Turn the soil snake! It's still such a big one! Brother Liu, are you injured? Are you injured?"

"It's fine." Brother Liu shook his head.

At this moment, he has decided not to say anything about the harmless encounter. The Wushang was alone, and he was injured, so he should not bring danger to his family, and he could kill himself, but he didn't do that. Brother Liu didn't know that he understood his behavior as no Hostility, right? Forget it, if you say it, it will affect everyone, and maybe it will hinder this hunting. It is better to go home and discuss with father alone after the hunting is over. As for this snake, just take it as the reason why you didn't keep up. Brother Liu didn't wait to make up such a lie, the earth wolf who came back to find him naturally thought so.

"Drink, Brother Liu is amazing, he cooked such a big one by himself! It's amazing, the tiger father has no dogs!" Thumbs up.

"Hehe..." Brother Liu rubbed his head and laughed dryly.

The soil turning snake is different from the gopher and the ground python. He is also a monster rather than an animal. It is a very dangerous thing to deal with him. "Are you afraid of this kind of thing for the first time?" The wolf gang Liu brother put the snake into the bag and said.

"I'm afraid, my heart is still beating!" This is the truth. Brother Liu's palms were still sweaty, and his heart was beating all the time.

"Okay, you little guy has this snake, and you won't come out in vain today! Going back is enough for you to brag!" The earth wolf was very satisfied with Brother Liu's performance and kept praising him.

"How can this be counted!" Brother Liu blurted out, but fortunately he responded quickly, and immediately continued, "I'm here to hunt gophers, how can I count as a cross without gophers!"

"You're right, it's mainly the gophers!" The ground wolf patted Brother Liu on the shoulder, "There are already gophers ahead, let's catch up, there are you hunting!"

"Yeah!" Brother Liu was refreshed when he heard that he found the whereabouts of the prey, "Let's go!"

The Earth Wolf and Brother Liu disappeared into the depths of the earth in a blink of an eye, and where they left, the Wuhu reappeared from the void—he didn't escape at all, but used the Earth Wolf and Wuji to escape. The invisibility technique, which should not hurt this race, hid himself - he still covered the wound left by Brother Liu with one hand, and looked at the direction where the wolves were going...

The vanguard of the wolves tracked the gophers they found, and after turning around for more than half an hour, they finally came to their lair. Countless holes were punched in this place in a crisscross pattern, and it was crowded with gophers of different sizes and coats. A rough calculation showed that there were far more than the initial estimate of more than 40.

"There are at least six or seventy."

"Too many."

"A great harvest."

"But, our staff."

The wolves who were hiding behind a rock formation in the distance couldn't help but discuss it with mixed emotions.

"Everyone is silent." The leader of the team gestured decisively, "The more prey, the better, don't worry about it there. Our whole family is dispatched, how can we not deal with a few little mice! You, you, Go and inform the team behind, you and Brother Liu stay here to meet, others come with me, let's get closer and see clearly."

"Uncle Nong..." Brother Liu pouted, dissatisfied with being left behind.

"It's up to you to fight!" Nong patted him on the head, "I'll let you go first!"

"Really!" Brother Liu couldn't believe his ears. Uncle Nong really wanted to give this honor to himself?

"I've been a brother with your father for many years. It's no big deal to give you a chance. You have to show me well when you stay, and don't tell your little brothers to say that I'm biased." Nong always likes it Brother Liu, since he led the team this time, he will always have to give him a chance.

"Yes!" Brother Liu held back his strength, straightened his waist, and agreed loudly.

With the information passed by the front team, the warriors of the earth wolf clan slowly surrounded the gopher group. Some gophers have noticed the abnormality, stopped their original movements, looked up, and sniffed.

"Calm down!" Jing Shi instructed a few teenagers who were just about to move.

"Brother Liu, get ready to do it!" At the same time, Nong gave a completely opposite order to him. He pointed to a gopher nearby and said, "Go!"

Brother Liu jumped out, jumped on the gopher before everyone else, and inserted the sharp claws into the gopher's throat accurately. As the first gopher fell, the wolves rushed up one after another, and a fight started here. The wolves each performed their own martial arts and spells, but the gopher is also a fierce and good fighting animal, so the warriors were very fierce, and both sides suffered damage.

Brother Liu excitedly rushed to the left and right on the battlefield, but he didn't know that he was on him, and attracted the jealous eyes of several teenagers of the same age-Nong's kindness made Brother Liu stand out, and it also made these teenagers hate it. Brother Liu held even more hatred, and even the order that Jingshi gave out of concern for their safety was regarded as a conspiracy by Jingshi and his son to suppress everyone and make Brother Liu stand out.

Brother Liu doesn't know this.

The first time he participated in such a battle, he was in high spirits and was very excited. He specially picked up the huge gopher and shot. After a while, more than four gophers fell under his hands.

Leifeng had long forgotten that the elders had told him to take care of the newbies. He rushed to Brother Liu to fight.

"Liu Ge'er, Lei Ge'er, good work!"

From time to time, elders give them thumbs up like this.

Shen Zhu knows that his martial arts skills are not strong, and has been following several elders, attacking gophers with spells. He knows that he may not be able to kill a gopher in a whole battle, but his spells will be used by the elders. They helped a little - this can be seen from the approving eyes of the elders - this is enough for Shen Zhu, he does not have that kind of ambition and does not want to be the number one XX of the earth wolf clan, he I only hope that in the future, I can use my ability to help the real strong. He looked at Brother Liu's heroic demeanor in the battle - he was jumping in the air, cracking the head of a gopher the size of a foal with one paw, and knocking out another teenager who was thrown down by the gopher. Drag it out——Although Brother Liu participated in this kind of large-scale hunting for the first time, everything he showed was not inferior to his elders. In the future, he will stand behind him and help him with everything he has learned, and the enemy he will face at that time is not a few gophers, but a more terrifying, powerful, ruthless and harmless, right?

Shen Zhu was immersed in her own thoughts, and unknowingly pulled away a little distance from the elders in front of her. down.

Shen Zhu was stunned when she saw the **** mouth in front of her. He often eats gopher meat and wears gopher skin on his body every day, but it is the first time in his life that a large mouth of living blood has appeared in front of him. He threw all the spells he knew into the ground, and even forgot to raise his hand to resist.

"Shen Zhu!" Brother Liu had just carried the injured boy to the back, when he saw him in a daze, rushed over and dragged him aside before the gophers took a bite. "Why are you in a daze at this time? Are you not full?"

"Who hasn't eaten enough!" Shen Zhu gave him a white look.

Brother Liu dodged, dodged another collision from the gopher, and shouted to Shen Zhu: "Then don't hurry up!"

Shen Zhu took a deep breath and used his best spell. A flash hit the gopher that was blocked by Brother Liu with one hand. The gopher, who was already seriously injured, twitched a few times and fell down. Not moving.

"Success!" Brother Liu exclaimed excitedly, slapped Shen Zhu on the shoulder and slapped Shen Zhu heavily, and then jumped into the most intense battle.

Shen Zhu looked at the gopher beside her feet, looked at her hands, shook her head in disbelief, and showed a smile. In this way he completed his first hunt with the help of his friends.

Two hours later, the hunt was over, and the wolves walked around the battlefield to check their prey. It was a fruitful operation. About fifty-seven or eight gophers were loaded into their The sacks and others fled everywhere, and the ground wolves did not pursue them blindly, because these remaining gophers would form a new colony in the future, providing them with another chance to hunt.

Among the ground wolves who participated in the hunt, the one who got the most was still Jingshi. While instructing everyone and taking care of the teenagers, he also killed seven gophers, including the largest of the gophers in this hunt. One—a gopher almost the size of an elephant.

Among the participating teenagers, Jingshi's son, Brother Liu, was the best. He killed a total of six, only one less than his father in number, although the size of his prey could not match the size of his prey. Compared with his father's, he has already overwhelmed all his peers, and even the achievements of most elders have paled in front of him.

Leifeng was second only to Brother Liu. He carried the largest gopher (about the size of a camel) he had hunted and strode to Brother Liu. Both of them were humming songs excitedly. Among the new generation of the earth wolf clan, he is the best hunter.

Among the other teenagers, only five killed their prey, the most being two, and Shen Zhu was one of them.

"Great harvest, great harvest... la la..." Brother Liu carried his prey on his shoulders and walked in the middle of the team while humming a song with a proud look.

"What a kid, he is so happy after a hunt." Jing Shi shook his head with a smile.

"This kid is amazing. He didn't do as well as you did when you first hunted."

"Yes, at that time you hit three gophers in total, so you excitedly dragged us to drink with you all night."

"That's right, let's laugh at the kids now."

"I came to drink with you to comfort you guys who went home empty-handed! Not only did I not appreciate me, but I also exposed my shortcomings!"

"Haha, how many years have passed, the children have grown up, and we are getting old too."

While the elders were chatting and laughing, the team passed the rock formations that they passed on the way they came. Brother Liu couldn't help but stop. In my heart, I repeatedly recalled the situation at the time. Wushang did not use the sword hanging from his waist from beginning to end. He only used a few spells, and he was completely vulnerable to that Wushang subordinate... He stood in Wushang's hands. Where it disappeared, I was lost in thought.

"Brother Liu, let's go, why did you stop!" Leifeng called from a distance, "Go back for the celebration banquet!"

"This place..." an earth wolf remembered and said, "On the way to Brother Liu, we killed a soil-turning snake here. Isn't that right, Brother Liu? Show the snake to everyone. ."

Brother Liu smiled at everyone without making a sound.

"I'm still embarrassed! Hahaha!" The elders laughed together.

"Brother Liu, you really killed a snake? That kind of thing is more ferocious than a gopher, and its teeth are poisonous. You are really powerful." Gao'er walked beside Brother Liu, but he didn't gain anything by himself. But I'm so excited about my friend's record, I'm even more proud of my own victory.

Brother Liu didn't answer. After a while, he said far away from the topic: "Tomorrow I have to go to school on time!"

"What?" Gu'er was stunned by his words.

"I'm going to school tomorrow, and then I'll study magic seriously! I'm going to become more powerful!" Brother Liu said, clenching his fists, "Go home quickly, eat, bathe, sleep, and go to school tomorrow!" ran forward.

"Aren't you going to go to school seriously for a long time?" Not only Gao Er, but other friends rubbed their heads in confusion, wondering what was wrong with him, and quickly chased after him, "Brother Liu, wait a minute. Me, what are you thinking about!"

"Didn't you promise to compete with me tomorrow? Don't run!"

"Let's go for a drink, where are you going..."

"I want to become better! I want to become better!" Brother Liu waved to his friends and ran away without looking back.

Su Xin looked at Brother Liu sternly, and after a while said, "Go back!"

"Why?" Brother Liu blinked pitifully. He knew that he was truant from school all day, and that his husband was so angry that he wanted to pass the test in a pitiful and obedient manner.

"This is a school for adults now. You are still a child, you can either go to class with children, or you can learn the magic of becoming a human and come back!" Su Xin said coldly.

"I only have one spell that I haven't learned yet..." Brother Liu muttered in dissatisfaction.

"How dare you talk back!" Su Xin scolded.

Brother Liu was taken aback and stuck out his tongue in secret. It seems that Mr. is really angry with himself, "I will study hard in the future, so don't be angry, Mr."

Originally, the ground wolves no longer have to study in the academy when they are adults. They are willing to learn a little more, they are willing to go home and inherit the family business, and they are free to give up their studies. He came and arrived neatly, some were out of concern for his friends, some were purely for fun, and some were looking at his jokes with bad intentions. Everyone looked at Su Xin's attitude in silence.

"Hmph, I thought that by relying on a little bit of innate cleverness, everything could go well, and I could learn what I learned, but when I encountered a little setback, I would give up! I don't need such a lack of ambition here. If you come in, you will be spoiled. Others! You go back, you can't learn the spell to become a human being, don't come again!" After that, the door was slammed shut on Brother Liu's face.

Su Xin turned around and swept his eyes across the classroom. The students who were whispering to each other immediately quieted down, but some of them still had undisguised smiles on their faces-they were obviously thinking The much-loved brother Liu was reprimanded and gloated.

Su Xin secretly sighed.

These students don't understand their painstaking efforts, do they understand Liu Ge? Brother Liu is a very gifted child, and he is naturally eager to learn. It is false to say that he does not work hard. On the contrary, he is a child who can learn and forget everything, but this has also become his shortcoming - once he If you are attracted by one thing, you can't be distracted and take care of other things - recently, this child is too addicted to martial arts, and throws spells cleanly. I hope that his aggressive methods will allow him to use more spells. achievement.

However, he is a strong boy. When I say that, he will definitely take his heart back to magic. Su Xin thought of this, and Fubei smiled.

Brother Liu stood outside the closed door of the school. It took a long time before he raised his head, with anger flashing in his eyes. "Relying on innate cleverness"? "A little setback and retreat"? He has heard similar words a lot, but it doesn't hurt or itches in his ears. He knows how hard he works, so he doesn't want to pay attention to these boring words, but now, the one who said these words is the one who respects him the most. teacher.

"Mr. Su Xin..." Brother Liu murmured.

He respected and respected this gentleman since childhood, obeyed his words, and believed that he understood himself and did not attribute his achievements to the word "genius", but now, in his mouth Even said such a thing.

"Even if you're trying to provoke me, I can't forgive you!" Brother Liu murmured, "I won't treat you as my most respected teacher anymore." Brother Liu was outside the academy, giddy in his heart. Having said that, he took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Brother Liu's appearance is carefree, kind, courteous and thoughtful, seemingly informal, but in his heart, he is more clean than anyone else. His informality is for things he doesn't care about, and for Everything he loves, he demands more than anyone else. The same thing happened to outsiders and to his parents, friends, and respected and beloved elders. He could laugh at the former, but he would find it unbearable for the latter.

From this day on, Brother Liu never took the initiative to ask Su Xin any questions, because in his mind, although he didn't really no longer respect Su Xin, he could no longer regard him as someone he trusted wholeheartedly. "Sir".

"Alas..." Brother Liu threw the book on the ground and lay on his back on the bed, "Humans... have a nose and two eyes, no tail or hair, but it's not surprising, why can't I change? ?" He threw out all the books at his side in every possible way, sighing. Gengniang came in with tea and stepped on a thick book in one step, "Oh, brother Liu, are you throwing things around again, do you want to trip mother?"

"I'm working hard, don't disturb me." Brother Liu said confidently.

"For the past few months, you have been sleeping in all day long and making excuses not to tidy up the house." Gengniang unceremoniously exposed his lies.

"I didn't sleep in, I just couldn't learn, so I was a little upset."

"Didn't your father say, don't force yourself to learn what you can't learn, don't be too **** yourself, don't rush for success."

"I'm eager for success..." Brother Liu pouted and said, "I've been practicing for so many years, and if I go on like this, I'll never be an adult. Your wishes for a daughter-in-law and a grandson will never be fulfilled in this life. !”

"Want a daughter-in-law? Stay brother, why are you so interested in this matter? Come, tell your mother, do you like someone's girl?"

"No! I just said that." Brother Liu squinted at his mother, "Why are you so excited?"

Geng Niang didn't listen to what he said. She put the tray on his stomach, rushed out of the door and shouted to Jing Shi: "Xianggong, Xianggong, did you hear? Brother Liu just said that he wanted to Marry a daughter-in-law and have grandchildren for us!"

Brother Liu carefully removed the tray - the bowls and dishes on it were full of food and soup, and they would spill with a little movement. I really don't understand how my mother never spilled things like this every day - he got up When I wanted to explain that I didn't mean this at all, I heard my father shouting excitedly: "Really? Which girl does he have a crush on? I'm going to ask someone to propose a marriage! Now, prepare your brother's Geng Tie. Well, and..."

"Huh..." Brother Liu let out a long sigh at the door and lowered his head. If he went out now, he would probably be forced to ask questions until morning, and then he would have to make up a so-called "favorite girl", and then his parents would If he goes straight to propose a marriage, he will become a pitiful earth wolf who will marry a certain woman as soon as he learns the spell to become a human being. In order to avoid the possibility of such a tragedy, he decisively grabbed his coat, stuffed his pockets with snacks made by his mother, and ran through the wall before his father entered his room with a drink. Sure enough, I heard my father shouting: "Brother Liu, when are you going to get married... Brother Liu? Where is Brother Liu?"

Brother Liu ran wild, not daring to turn his head back.

After running for a while, he slowed down, turned his head and wondered, "Where are you going?" It's not good to go to someone else's house so late, and he can't go home. If he goes to his grandfather's house, he will probably be taken back Leave it to my parents... just find a secluded place to practice spells. Brother Liu planned, "How hard I work! It's really touching." He took out the spell book from his arms without blushing at all, and turned to the place he used to go.

"That brother Liu, everyone always treats him like a treasure! I don't believe he is really that good! Brother, are you all right?" This was Zhike's voice.

"Nothing... Grandpa's stick is really heavy." This was Zhigui's voice.

Brother Liu heard these conversations, so he hid and looked over there quietly.

Sure enough, their brothers were there, and Zhigui had a large bruise on his head, and Zhike was smearing him with ointment. From their next conversation, Brother Liu understood what happened to his injury.

Zhike said: "I just said a few words about that boy, but grandpa actually beat you like this! I have written down all this debt, and one day I will make him look good." (Brother Liu sighed in his heart: "I never I didn't offend you, why do you have to speak ill of me behind my back?")

Zhigui said, "I don't dare to resent my grandfather, but that kid!" As he spoke, there was a voice of grinding his teeth.

Brother Liu was busy and shrank back. He didn't know if his brother had eaten dinner, if he didn't, if he found himself again, from the loudness of his teeth grinding, he might not have enough. They eat.

Zhike said again: "Didn't you find out, Mr. has been disliking him more and more lately! Hmph, he also has such a day." His tone was full of excitement.

Zhigui sneered: "But haven't you seen those warriors take him to the sky? His father is Jing Shi, and one day he will naturally become the number one master. Does the magician like him? What influence does it have on him, like us, no matter how hard we try, we still have nothing!"

The two brothers were silent for a while, and Brother Liu didn't even dare to breathe.

After a long while, I heard Zhike say fiercely, "Why don't he die! Why didn't the gophers eat it last time!"

Brother Liu suddenly widened his eyes. He knew that the Zhigui brothers hated him, but he could understand all of this. After all, their father was killed by his own father, and they have grown up with the reputation of "traitor's son" since then. Their mother left them for remarriage and lived in their grandfather's house. Their grandfather and uncles were also very indifferent to them. This kind of life made them strange in temperament. What are they supposed to hate in order to live? So they killed their father's uncle, your son, who was supposed to be a cousin, and the happy and much-loved brother Liu became their target. Brother Liu always thought that they hated him because of this, but they actually wanted to die!

What did I do to make them hate it so much?

Is it just **** better to be better than them? Or, can they tolerate anyone else being good, but not themselves?

Brother Liu cautiously stepped back and left Zhigui for a distance before turning around and running again.

Why?

Some of my blood relatives have such thoughts about me, which makes Brother Liu really uncomfortable. Listening to their tone just now, if they were given a chance, they would definitely kill themselves without hesitation.

Brother Liu walked aimlessly, his mind was in a mess.

The division of killing the father is also the revenge of killing the father, because the father is a traitor and can't take revenge, but they must have hatred in their hearts, they can't admit that they hate Jingshi, because Jingshi is a righteous hero who kills his relatives. If they hated their uncle who loved them so much, it would be like standing on the father's side and having a second heart for the earth wolf clan. "So you put the hatred on me, right?" Brother Liu muttered to himself, this was the only reason he could think of.

Brother Liu sighed and decided not to mention this to his parents or others, just beware of them in the future.

"Hey, I've been hiding more and more things from my parents. I know the cause of my uncle's death, I've met innocent people, and I hate Mr. Su Xin... This thing will change soon. You've become a bad boy." Brother Liu shook his head helplessly.

He ran underground without a purpose. Now, when he looks back, he finds that he has come to a place very high (that is, very close to the ground), and he can see the roots of trees tangled in the ground around him. Some small animals are busy in their respective burrows, some insects are asleep in the mud, and several seeds are trying to germinate.

Brother Liu put his hand into a rabbit hole, clicked on the sleeping rabbit, and then laughed "giggling" as he watched a family of big rabbits rush to the ground in a panic.

"It's fun." He scratched his head, "Let's go up and have a look." Maybe you can observe humans, which is also helpful for learning spells. He gave himself an excuse for violating the clan rules that children were not allowed to go on the ground alone, and slowly emerged from the ground.

It is night on the ground, the bright moon is in the sky, the season is early spring, the grass and trees are green, and there is a freshness in the air. Not far away there was a babbling brook, gleaming silver in the moonlight, and the stars blowing in it. The breeze was gentle, and there were bursts of sento. It was a charming night.

Brother Liu, who was only on the ground for the second time, certainly couldn't understand all of this. He looked around in a silly way, distinguishing these things that he had only seen in books and pictures: trees, grass, streams, The moon, the stars, the sky... The surroundings are very quiet, unlike the chaos and chaos in the human town last time. The moon in the sky is soft and clear, and it is much better than the fiery sun. Brother Liu's feeling on the ground is much better than last time. He slipped around for a while, and finally sat down under the tree, ha, the grass is soft to sit on, much more comfortable than the underground rocks and ground. It's not bad to come here, to ensure that the clan can't find him, Brother Liu thought proudly.

The air is filled with unfamiliar smells, and from time to time, the "wind" that is impossible to appear under the earth blows past my ears. Brother Liu remained calm in a leisurely manner, and he was wary of this unfamiliar situation. There are hazards that may arise in the environment.

"Moo..."

A loud cry made Brother Liu jump straight up. He turned around and saw a huge animal standing not far away from him. The animal, with a pair of big and round eyes shining brightly, let out another long cry and walked towards Brother Liu.

Brother Liu bowed his waist and assumed an attacking stance.

"Moo..."

The animal's cry was so loud and scary that Brother Liu felt hair on his body, ready to pre-empt the call and stab the opponent's throat.

"Stop!" A voice sounded beside him, and said in a reproachful tone: "The children of today are really, so good, why would they bully a cow!"

"Cow?" Brother Liu tried very hard to take his eyes away from the animal in front of him, and looked in the direction of the voice, "You said it was a cow?! I have eaten beef, and I have seen pictures. How can the cow be so big! Isn't that an animal like a rabbit!" Brother Liu believed 100% that the owner of the voice was lying to himself.

"Hehe, it turned out to be the child of the earth wolf." Brother Liu laughed when the owner of the voice saw it clearly. He also walked from behind the tree to the moonlight so that Brother Liu could see him clearly. This is a famous human old man, with a clear face, pale hair loosely tied into a bun, tied with a wooden hairpin, a white beard, wearing a blue robe, walking towards Brother Liu with a smile, "Child, is this your first time on the ground? Haven't you seen a cow before?" He walked over to the cow and petted it, and the cow gave a meek cry. "I don't know whose cow got lost, go home quickly." The old man tapped the cow's head with his hand, the cow nodded obediently, and walked slowly out of the woods in the direction he pointed. Brother Liu felt that he used some kind of spell to allow the cow to find a home by itself.

"Child, don't move!" The old man suddenly said to Brother Liu again, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Brother Liu, and a red light rushed over, touching Brother Liu's shoulder, and it disappeared instantly.

Brother Liu opened his mouth in surprise.

Of course he won't "obedient" when a stranger uses a spell on him, but the old human man didn't give him any room to "move" at all. He hadn't had time to help him, and the spell had already hit him. on him. Brother Liu hurriedly looked at himself up and down, not knowing what the other party had done to him. He found a tiny insect (insect?) on his shoulder, and the eight-legged little thing had shrunk to death. Brother Liu's shoulder moved slightly, and he rolled into the grass in the ground.

"Spider?" Brother Liu still recognized this animal and called it by its name accurately.

"That little thing is different from a cow. It's poisonous," the old man told Brother Liu with a kind smile. "It's poisonous—it won't kill you, but it will make you red, swollen, itchy, and sore where you were bitten. Several days."

"Oh, I've read in books that some spiders are poisonous." Brother Liu lay on the ground and began to look for the spider, "What kind of spider is it called? What is the way to distinguish it?" After he had no malice, his curiosity and thirst for knowledge suppressed everything, and he was eager to know more about the things on the ground.

"Hehe," the old man stroked his beard and laughed, patted Brother Liu's shoulder and asked, "Little boy, would you like to come and have a drink with me?"

"Have a drink?" Brother Liu's mind automatically added the word "wine" after "a drink". It is rare to have a chance to drink good wine on the ground, and the elders are invited, how can the younger generation refuse? He immediately found an excuse for himself to drink, and nodded with a grin.

The old man had placed a pot on a flowery lawn, on a rock under a lush weeping willow, and was drinking alone against the moon, that's why he saw the scene of Liu Ge's bullfighting. He led Brother Liu over and let him sit on the stone. There was a small brass stove beside the stone, burning fragrant wood blocks. Brother Liu glanced at the wind stove greedily, wondering why this warm wine had no taste at all?

The old man looked at the fire and asked Brother Liu, "Son, what's your name? Are you a child of the Earth Wolf clan? Why did you slip on the ground alone?"

"My name is Brother Liu, and I am the son of Jingshi of the Earth Wolf clan. I... just walking, walking, haha."

The old man didn't seem to know that the children of the wolf clan did not come to the ground without being led by adults, and of course he didn't understand what Brother Liu's embarrassed laughter represented, he just asked: "You rarely come to the ground, right? ?"

Brother Liu felt that he was holding back a smile when he asked this sentence - he probably wanted to get rid of the appearance of confronting a cow - so he lowered his head a little dejectedly and said, "This is the second time."

"Come on, you can drink." The old man didn't continue to ask the topic. He picked up the small clay pot, filled a small cup not much bigger than the belly of the thumb with "wine", and stretched out his hand to Brother Liu. Make a gesture of invitation.

A light, plant-like smell rose in the air. Brother Liu was not sure if the smell was from the surrounding trees or the glass of "wine". His nose was not too familiar with the various smells on the ground. I can tell the difference, but if "wine" is this kind of taste, it won't taste good, right? Brother Liu looked at the glass of wine, picked it up and poured it into it.

"Ugh!" Brother Liu's eyes suddenly popped out, and he froze there with a mouthful of "wine" in his mouth. He really couldn't swallow this kind of thing, but in front of the elder, he couldn't rudely put the drink in his mouth. When the thing came out, he pursed his mouth hard, and it took a long time to squeeze a little bit into his stomach. After finally being able to open his mouth, he immediately called out to the old man: "Senior, why are you giving me medicine?!"

"Medicine?" This time it was the old man's turn to widen his eyes, "Have you ever had tea?"

"Tea?"

"This is a good tea my friend just brought me, come and have another cup."

Brother Liu shook his head vigorously, and said with a bitter face, "It's hard to drink."

"Hehehe," the old man stopped forcing him, and poured himself a drink.

One old and one young, one man and one wolf sitting by the stream under the moon and in the breezy forest, drinking a few cups of tea, sitting silently, a quite picturesque scene.

Brother Liu gradually got used to this kind of openness, being in the air, between heaven and earth, the grass and trees smelled more and more comfortable, not even a wisp of flowers that drifted into his nose from time to time. So weird.

"Have another cup?" The old man poured tea for him again.

Brother Liu licked his lips, grabbed the tea cup with determination, raised his head, and swallowed it with a "gu dong" like drinking medicine, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "How can a human being Are you used to drinking this kind of thing? I read in books that humans drink it every day, right?"

"Drinking tea is not tasting tea," the old man poured it for him again, "Humans drink tea every day, and tea tasting depends on the time, place, mood, and the other person."

"Eating and tasting are different, right..." Brother Liu understood.

"Hahaha," the old man laughed, "you are so interesting," he said while tasting the tea in the cup, "you probably haven't learned to become a human, have you?"

"Hey, how do you know?"

"Hehe, if you could become a human, maybe you wouldn't think so."

"I... I can't learn that spell..." Brother Liu blurted out for some reason. Maybe it's because I live in an environment where everything is unfamiliar, and the old man in front of me is so amiable, so Brother Liu can't help but feel close, so I suddenly tell me what my parents are unwilling to tell. came out.

"You can't learn, because you don't know what a human being is, right?"

"Of course I know, one nose and two eyes, no tail and no hair..." Brother Liu immediately read out the human formula he wrote.

"Hahahaha, you kid..." The old man smiled and leaned back and forth. He finally stopped laughing, shook his head and said, "Child, you can't just look at one thing from the outside."

"I only need to become a human in appearance, not the whole person." Brother Liu pouted, he always believed that the creatures with a gorgeous thick layer of fur were the most beautiful.

The old man drank another cup of tea, looked at Brother Liu and asked, "Son, do you know why a monster or a living being has to learn to 'be' a person if he wants to achieve a positive result?" He emphasized that it was "do" instead of Not "change".

"I don't know," Brother Liu replied honestly, "I don't want to be successful at all."

"Because human beings are the most complex and elusive creatures in the universe, as long as we understand human beings thoroughly, there is nothing that cannot be understood, understood or accepted."

"Really, according to this argument, not all human beings can achieve success." Brother Liu said unconvinced.

"Child, do you know everything about the earth wolf?"

"Of course!" Brother Liu raised his voice.

The old man said nothing, looked at him with a smile, Brother Liu became cramped under his gaze, thought for a while and then said, "I was originally an earth wolf, now I'm still young, wait until I grow up. When I'm older, I'll..."

The old man still didn't speak, the smile on his face deepened.

"Well, I remember Mr. said, 'Knowing people is easy, but knowing oneself is difficult', so... so..."

The old man nodded: "You seem to understand something."

"Are you just trying to tell me this?" Brother Liu spoke more respectfully to the old man.

"You probably haven't seen human beings a few times, but you think of spells that become human beings. At first, the wolf tribe didn't have the rule that they only become adults after they learned people. It's to inspire future generations to work hard to cultivate positive results, right? It's just now. All the intentions of the ancestors have been forgotten, and the child will only be forced to become something that only looks like a human being, huh, putting the cart before the horse!"

Although Brother Liu thinks what he said is very reasonable, the old man is criticizing his family, so of course he won't talk about it.

"Son, let's hear it, why can't you learn the magic of becoming a human being? Isn't it much easier to become a human by appearance than to become a real human?"

"It's because..." Brother Liu unknowingly had full of trust in this old human being. He lowered his head and slowly learned that he used to learn spells very quickly, but after learning the spell to transform into a human being, When he encounters a problem, he can't learn it no matter what. After more than ten years, his partners have learned it one by one, and he still goes straight. He said that he pretended to be nothing on the outside, but he was actually very anxious, and he even had an unpleasant relationship with his husband recently...

The old man had been listening attentively, nodding his head from time to time, until Brother Liu had finished speaking, then stroked his beard and asked, "So that's what happened, so you ran to the ground and wanted to see with your own eyes what a human being is like. , is indeed a very clever way."

Brother Liu was ashamed and looked away. He couldn't explain that he didn't sneak out of the house for the sake of magic, but to escape the terrible incident that his parents wanted to force him to be engaged.

"Child, can you show me the spells you have learned?" the old man suddenly asked.

"Ah," Brother Liu was stunned, "Okay, what do you want to see?"

"Show me the 'Earth Shaker' first."

"Okay!" Brother Liu immediately stretched out his finger and swiped in the air, chanting his favorite incantation. Suddenly, the ground shook, the earth and rocks rolled around, the branches on the trees swayed, and the birds that had already returned to their nests were thrown out of their beds. The tea set that had been shaken to the ground returned to the table intact. He praised, "As expected of an earth wolf, it's amazing." Brother Liu himself was also sticking out his tongue secretly. He didn't expect this spell to be used on the ground and used underground. There is so much time difference, and the spells are not very good in the ground (for the races living in the earth, the shaking caused by the earth shake is like the spell using the wind on the ground, after all, the messenger that can attract the 'hurricane' is not so it's just a general spell), used on the ground to cause such a mess.

"Then, use another wind spell to see."

"Wind!" Brother Liu shouted without hesitation, a small whirlwind formed at his fingertips, swept over his shoulders, brushed some dust for him, and then disappeared into nothingness.

Brother Liu opened his eyes wide and looked at his fingertips: "No?" He said unconvinced, "I'll try again!"

"No need, you can show me the magic of thunder."

"Thunder!"

Following Brother Liu's shout, several lightning bolts fell from the sky, hitting around him and the old man, splashing a lot of clods and grass clippings, making a few small holes on the ground, "It's okay, Brother Liu heaved a sigh of relief, "There is no problem with this spell." Brother Liu looked at the old man smugly.

"Hehe, good. Would you like to see my spell?"

"Okay, okay!" Brother Liu nodded expectantly.

"First of all, the spell of the wind!" The old man stretched out a hand and read the same spell as Brother Liu just now. A gust of wind blew by, rolling up Brother Liu's body and taking him around in the air for a while. After the lap, he was put back in place.

Brother Liu held his own throat, panting hard, trying to recover the loss he had just suffered when he had difficulty breathing due to the strong wind. He looked at the old man with a look of admiration.

"Below is thunder." The old man shouted, "Ji!"

Several giant thunders fell into the dust, and when they touched the ground, they made a deafening loud explosion. The earth and stones splashed everywhere, and it hurt a little when they hit the face. Brother Liu hurriedly covered his face with his arms, only listening to the surrounding like rain. The sound of falling earth and stones stopped, and only then did he put his hand down. Before he could even beat the dust on his head, he excitedly shouted to the old man, "It's amazing! It's amazing! Senior, your spells are simply amazing. God!"

"Oh, in fact, as long as you stay on the ground for a longer time, these spells will naturally improve."

"Stay on the ground longer?"

"I'll show you one more thing, don't panic." After speaking, the old man stretched out his hand to the sky and recited a few words in his mouth. After a while, there was a loud wind in the forest (this is not a gust of wind caused by magic, but a Moist breath, the wind of nature), the clouds in the sky tumbled, and in the blink of an eye, the bright moon and stars were completely obscured. The world that originally seemed to be immersed in azure glass suddenly became dark without any light, and the five fingers could not be stretched out. Brother Liu felt hair in his heart - he wasn't afraid of the dark, the underground was much darker than here, day and night, and the wolf's eyes could still see everything - but in the wind, in Lin Tao, in the chirping of birds, and in the roar of beasts, there was a tinge of darkness. An early warning of something about to change that he couldn't comprehend. He involuntarily clenched his fists, his hair stood upside down, and a low growl came from his throat.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning pierced the sky, and the thunder rolled over in the clouds. The thunder rang, and there was a brief silence between the heaven and the earth. However, this silence lasted only a few seconds, and the pouring rain fell. The old man grabbed Brother Liu who jumped up and wanted to get into the ground, and said something that made him believe that he would not be drowned: "It's raining."

The only sound left in his ears was the "rushing" of the heavy rain. Brother Liu started to do his best to wipe the rain off his face, but he gave up when he found that he couldn't wipe it dry. He watched the rain fall from the clouds, on the trees, on the grass, on the rocks, on himself, and then roll down, down to the earth, where it converges on the ground as a stream, and it flows into the creek, and the flow of the stream increases, Galloping forward... The rain curtain shrouded the whole world, and when I looked up, I saw a vast expanse of white. The electric light that flashed from time to time briefly illuminated the earth, but it always came with deafening thunder.

This is the spirit that nature sweeps over everything. Brother Liu, who has lived underground for a long time, sees it for the first time, and his heart trembles when he sees it.

The old man used the magic of the Tathagata to make the rain come and go quickly. After a quarter of an hour, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, the bright moon appeared, and little drops of water flickered in the grass, and the entire mountain forest became more and more beautiful.

Brother Liu stood there, looking up at the sky, looking lost.

The old man stretched out his hand and waved, making himself and Brother Liu's body drenched in water immediately dry, "This is the first time I saw rain? Did you see real thunder?"

Brother Liu nodded.

"Let me assume, when you are learning spells, is it the easiest to master the earth-related spells of the Five Elements? Even the most difficult earth-based spells do you think are the easiest to learn from other earth wolves at once. Simple wind spells and thunder spells are simple?"

Brother Liu couldn't help but ask: "How do you know?"

"Because you can't learn to deceive yourself, you haven't seen the real thunder, the real wind, so you can't follow the teacher's teaching in the same way, and you won't change if you don't know people well. Human spells. Even if your mates can become human in appearance, if they walk into a crowd at this time, humans can still tell that they are alien and changeable. And you have intuitively realized this, I think, this That's why you never learned that spell."

Is it? Brother Liu didn't know if he was right or not. Is it really the reason why you can't learn this spell yourself? He felt that what the old man said seemed to make sense, but there seemed to be something wrong.

"You saw it just now, what the real Thunder Curse should look like. This is a mystery that can only be experienced in this vast world. If you are interested, I have a point to tell you." /

"Really, really?" Brother Liu couldn't believe it. Daoist people, especially those with powerful spells, would not easily give pointers to others, not to mention why a human would be willing to teach an earth wolf when they met by chance?

"You seem to be the same age as my grandson, so just treat it as a small gift from me to give you a chance to meet." The old man said with a smile.

The words of a human boy? Brother Liu figured out how much older he would be than a human teenager, thirty years old? Forty years old? Fifty years old...

"Come here, child." The old man greeted him, "I'll tell you the main points of Yulei first."

"Ah...really, are you really going to teach me?...Yes, yes." Brother Liu hurriedly bowed to the old man and walked quickly to his side.

"Thunder control techniques are usually widely used in five thunder spells and thunder spells..." Under the starry sky and moonlight, the old man began to tell Brother Liu and the spells that Brother Liu had learned before were very different in terms of emphasis and skills. , Spells that the wolves may never be able to touch.

…

Brother Liu slipped home, and after lying on the bed, his heart was still beating. It was the first time he was exposed to such a spell. The feeling of the tree is still in my heart, I did it myself, such a big tree...

Liu Ge pulled the quilt over his head and spent the night with the old human. His enthusiasm for magic seemed to have completely recovered all at once. Go to school tomorrow, hehe, learn all the powerful spells! Hey..." When he fell asleep, there was still a smile on his face.

"Aunt Geng, is Brother Liu here?" A group of teenagers rushed into Brother Liu's house.

"Let's see..." Gengniang opened the door and looked into the room, "I'm back, but I'm in bed again, this child..."

"Don't worry, Gengniang, we are here to cure his laziness today!" Shen Zhu, Gao'er, Yu, and Lei Feng, and several other teenagers with weapons rushed "ping ping pong pong". After entering the house, some people lifted the quilt, and some went to pull brother's hind paws (yes, it is the hind paws, he is used to sleeping with a dog).

"Slacker! Get up!"

"If you sleep like this all day, one day you will wake up and find yourself a worm!"

"Ah..." Following Shen Zhu's words, the cake that was dragging Brother Liu let out a scream - Brother Liu under his hand responded to the sound and turned into a line as big as Brother Liu himself, squirming softly. of bugs.

"Don't try to fool around like this!"

"Get up and become a worm!"

The teenagers rushed up, picked up the worm from Brother Liu, and placed it on the table. Everyone dragged their chairs and sat down, and began to lecture on the worm around the table.

"Brother Liu," Shen Zhu cleared her throat and started the speech, "About your recent behavior, we think it's okay to talk about you!"

"Yes, yes!" The other teenagers nodded in unison.

"You've been too lazy lately. You're just sleeping. Even though Mr. Su Xin has scolded you a few times, you don't have to do that, right? Think about us, how about being scolded by Mr. Su almost every day, and we're not like you. Yes!"

"Even if you don't want to learn spells anymore, you have to concentrate on practicing. If you don't move, your kung fu will regress."

"Yeah, you can't sleep every day, do nothing!"

The worm started spinning silk to make a cocoon, wrapping itself up.

"Gu'er, do you think 'fried silkworm chrysalis' is delicious?" Leifeng asked maliciously

"Delicious!" Pa-da, Pa-da, drool dripping down.

"Hand over the oil lamp, I'll try to burn a little!" Shen Zhu held the oil lamp in his hand. Seeing that Brother Liu still didn't respond, he moxibusted him without hesitation.

"Ah...Shen Zhu, you are too blackhearted!" Brother Liu jumped up, clutching his butt.

Shen Zhu threw down the oil lamp, clapped her hands, and waved to the teenagers: "Everyone continue!"

The teenagers swarmed up and began to give Liu Ge'er a face-to-face order.

"Brother Liu, there is a saying that an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time..."

"The ancients said: learn and practice (?) Learn it, not also..."

"Brother Liu, the boss is sad, why? Because the little ones don't work hard..."

"Brother stay..."

"Brother stay..."

"Brother Liu..."

…

A few hours later, Brother Liu found himself sitting cross-legged tied to the table and unable to move. Leifeng and Yu moved him off the table, each of them held him by one leg and swayed for a while, and it was difficult for him to stand up.

Brother Liu swayed like he was drunk, then climbed up the chuang to get under the quilt.

"Brother stay!!!" The teenagers roared together.

Geng Niang was bringing snacks and drinks in, but she saw a group of teenagers carrying the bed and carrying the Liugejia people out with the quilt.

"You..."

"Aunt Geng, don't worry, we will immediately throw this unworthy son into the crater for you."

"Mother, help~"

"Go to the one over there in the West Valley."

"No, go closer to the south side!"

"Mother~"

Brother Liu shouted for help, but was carried away by his friends.

"These kids are really..."

Jing Shi also came out of the room, smiling at the young boys like a gust of wind...

"I swear, I'm not slacking off, I'm practicing every day! Woo~~~wow~~~~Don't leave me alone~~~~" Brother Liu grabbed the edge of the bed and begged for mercy. Below him, in the depths of an underground rift, the magma of the volcano was churning, and Brother Liu's order was suspended above it.

"You're going to bed tomorrow!"

"I really have practiced diligently~ Help~~~~"

The teenagers were dubious and pulled the bed back again.

Brother Liu took the initiative to climb down from the bed, wiped his cold sweat and said, "Let me try it for you?"

"Try it!" The boys folded their arms, squinted and looked at him with a dubious expression.

"Hehe~~~" Brother Liu let out a series of malicious sneers, "I'm going to try it..." He stretched out his hand and shouted: "Lei Lai!"

The thunder was loud, and a dozen lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere, hitting the group of teenagers. He deliberately controlled the power of the spell and let the lightning strike his companions by an inch or so, but the power of the electric light still caused the fur of several companions to burn up, giving off an unpleasant smell, and then hit the earth and stones beside them. fly around.

"Wow!" The partners exclaimed together.

Brother Liu looked at his hand, "It's amazing! It turns out that I'm also amazing." He raised his head and looked at everyone with a sneer: "Hum hum hum... Who was going to throw me into the lava just now? Go... hum hum..."

"Wow..." Everyone turned around and started to run away.

"Don't run! It's what you want to try! Come and try!" Brother Liu shouted, waving his arms and launching a series of powerful spells that were completely useless, chasing after his companions.

The companions fled, grimacing, sticking out their tongues and rolling their eyes at him.

"Stop! Eat me a thunderbolt..."

The friends screamed, laughed, ran forward, and put a stone in their hearts - Brother Liu really has a lot of energy, and he didn't waste his training... It's been a long time since everyone was as indulgent as when they were young. Having fun, they ran as much as they wanted.

"Sir, sir?" As soon as Brother Liu came up to the ground, he looked around.

The old man was still sitting under the tree, lightly pulling out the fire in the copper furnace, and nodded to him with a smile, as a greeting.

"Sir, today I..." Brother Liu told him the process of "teaching" his comrades, "...I use minecraft underground, and it's very powerful...Sir, if If I learn from you seriously, will all spells become more powerful?"

"As long as you have perseverance, a talented child like you can do anything." The old man praised him with a smile.

He was not called a genius but was praised for his talent, but Liu Ge suddenly blushed and smiled "hehe".

"Today, let me tell you some tricks for humans to use spells." The old man stroked his beard and said slowly, "You also know that the life span of humans is much shorter than that of monsters, so that in order to survive in the limited time To speed up the progress of training in time and achieve the purpose of prolonging life and longevity, human beings have used a lot of mind and spent a lot of hard work and sweat of their ancestors, adding a lot of changes to the same spell, making the training of spells more direct, Faster, this is why human mages have only five or sixty years of cultivation, but they can often fight against monsters who have lived for hundreds of years and thousands of years. I will tell you some cultivation methods for human beings. It may be difficult for you to understand these, or you may never learn these methods, but it is good to learn more about the jade, and to listen to more things.”

"Yes, sir!" Brother Liu clenched his fists nervously, his heart pounding - before this, he had never thought that there were other ways to practice besides Earth Wolf.

"Hehe, sit down first, don't be so nervous and solemn, we are not teachers teaching students." The old man comforted Brother Liu.

"Yes, sir!"

"You kid. Actually, I can't accept you as a disciple, so we treat each other as if we were learning from each other. You're so serious, it's not good."

"Ah... Yes, I understand." Brother Liu suddenly thought that if the elders of his own clan were to point out the youth of the foreign clan without authorization, it would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the clan, and presumably this old man was also in the same situation. In this way, I insisted on calling him "sir" respectfully, but I was afraid that it would cause him trouble. So he sat down obediently and said at a loss: "Then, you, you..."

"I have a grandson who looks about the same age as you. If you don't want me to make you cheap, you might as well call me 'grandpa'."

"Of course, in my heart, I always treat you like an elder, so I'll call you, your grandfather... Grandpa..." Brother Liu held his head embarrassedly after saying "Master" for a long time. , "To tell you the truth, my grandfather died very early, and I never said the word 'grandfather' when I grew up, so I can't say it. Why don't I call you grandpa? My grandfather loves me very much, and so do you. Like him, so good to me!"

"Grandpa..." The old man was slightly surprised.

"Can't you..." Brother Liu stuck out his tongue, "Then I'll still be called Ye, Ye, Ye... I'll practice again and call me Ye..."

The old man looked into the distance and seemed to lose his mind for a moment. He muttered something in his mouth. He didn't come back to his senses until he heard that Brother Liu was practicing hard and could call out the word "Grandpa" naturally. He smiled and said, "Just call me grandpa. My daughter died early, and I didn't even see my grandson. God knows, let me meet you by myself... just call me grandpa." Tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.

"Grandpa." Brother Liu called sweetly, and he was the best at getting old people from his grandfather's generation to like him. He grabbed the teapot, poured a cup, and put his hands in front of the old man, "Grandpa, drink tea."

Although Brother Liu made the tea with unopened water, the old man still drank it with a smile.

"By the way, grandpa, I don't know your name yet?"

The old man seemed to ponder for a while before saying, "My surname is Ren, Ren Shang."

"Ren...shang..." Brother Liu tried to write these two words on the ground using the human script he had learned.

"...Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about human spells..." The old man Ren Shang began to narrate the characteristics of human spells. One young master spent another peaceful afternoon in this forest...

"Liu Ge'er, tomorrow is Grandpa's birthday, are you ready for the gift?" After dinner, while Gengniang packed up the dishes and went into the kitchen, Jing Shi poked his son and reminded him kindly.

"Of course I'm ready, but I'm not you... Did I 'remember' it after being taught by my mother?" Brother Liu said to his father with a "hehe" smirk.

"I kindly remind you, the dog bites Lu Dongbin! Don't go out and run around today! Be careful if you're late!"

"I know, I'll go to my grandpa's house after dinner." Brother Liu swallowed the rice from the bowl and said, "I'll help entertain the guests."

"Huh, are you so good? Are you looking for an opportunity to steal alcohol while you're in a mess?"

"...How can you misinterpret my filial piety like this!" Brother Liu said aggrievedly, "Of course, such a filial child, I went to celebrate my grandfather's birthday, but by the way..."

"Liu Ge'er," Gengniang called from inside the room, "After you finish eating, take a shower, and then change into new clothes..."

"Mom, I'm going to my grandpa's house first." Before she could finish speaking, Brother Liu had already run out - he hated taking hot baths the most, which made the fur wet.

"Brother Liu, how could you go to the banquet dressed like that..." No matter what Gengniang called after her, Brother Liu had disappeared.

"Alas..." Geng Niang shook her head and sighed and turned around, "When will this child grow up?"

"He has hardly gone to the martial arts field recently, nor has he gone to the school. He heard from his friends that he seems to be hiding somewhere alone to practice spells..." Jing Shi said, looking in the direction where Brother Liu disappeared, "This child practiced and practiced, but still prefers spells..."

"It's good to like anything, don't get it and you can't learn anything later."

"Also..." Jing Shi and his wife looked at each other and smiled, clasping their hands together.

"Grandpa, Grandpa! Are you here?" Brother Liu shouted loudly, and began to rummage through the bushes (Is there a place for Ren Shang to hide~~~~~)

"Brother Liu, didn't you say today is your grandfather's birthday? Why are you here again?" Ren Shang walked out of a cave and was surprised by Brother Liu's arrival.

"I took a detour on the way to my grandfather's house." Brother Liu ran and panted, "I bought a gift for you when I bought a gift for my grandfather. I want to give it to you today." He took out a small box and opened it to Ren Shang. Box Chen is a small gem, about the size of a finger, but it shines with colorful rays of light. "This kind of gemstone is only found in the deep underground. It is difficult for even our wolves to obtain it. Humans may rarely see it. It is very rare, right?"

"Yeah..." Ren Shang squinted at the unusual gem, "I have never received such a gift..."

"It's great if you like it! I gave my grandfather a human wood craft - that's how gifts should be exchanged, right!"

"Yes, yes, you are a very caring child, I really like it." Ren Shang said excitedly.

"Then I'm taking my leave, I have to go back before my mother finds me turning the corner." Brother Liu saluted and ran underground.

Ren Shang had been holding the gem, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh, his eyes showing a sad look...

Perhaps at this moment Ren Shang and Jing Shi and his wife are thinking the same thing. I hope Brother Liu will never grow up...

Unconsciously, three years have passed, and it has become a habit for Brother Liu to come to the ground every day to learn spells from Renshang.

"Grandpa, drink tea." Brother Liu skillfully poured the brewed tea for Ren Shang.

"Have a drink yourself."

"Hehe..." Brother Liu made a fool of himself with a haha. He has been allergic to tea since the first time he drank tea three years ago and left the impression of "drinking medicine". For the past three years, he watched Ren Shang make tea every day, and he helped him to make it, but he would never drink it himself.

"After cooking tea for so many years, your craftsmanship is getting better and better," Ren Shang praised after taking a sip, "You really don't want to try it?"

"Hey..."

Ren Shang stopped trying to force him and asked, "Have you read the book I recommended last time?"

"I read, I don't understand a few things, about..." He put down the tea stove and began to ask questions about cultivation. Ren Shang stroked his beard, nodded while listening, and began to answer him one by one. Time passed little by little, and when the old and the young put down their books, it was already half-set.

"It's getting late, grandpa, I'm going back."

"Let's go after a cup of tea." Ren Shang poured him a cup of tea.

"Ah..."

Ren Shang looked at him persistently.

"Okay..." Brother Liu rarely disobeyed the elders' wishes, took the cup with a bitter face, and was about to fall down holding his nose.

"You have learned so much about human beings in the past few years, and you have been cooking tea with your own hands. Now you should not feel bitter when you drink it again."

"Will..."

"Hehe, you already know human beings very well, and of course you can appreciate the taste of tea."

"I won't become human yet."

Ren Shang laughed and didn't answer.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just for tea." Brother Liu bravely raised the cup to his mouth, licked it first, and tasted the taste, "Well..." He tried another sip. , take another sip, "Bitter is bitter, but there is a fragrance that wine does not have... It seems that I can drink it..."

"Do you understand?"

"Understand what?" Brother Liu poured himself another glass and was sipping it slowly.

"Life is like tea, you know the joys and sorrows."

"...Grandpa, are you trying to tell me..."

"Go back today, think about my words, think about the taste of this cup of tea..."

"Yes." Brother Liu bowed and silently turned around and walked out of the ravine. He looked at the verdant mountains and forests outside, the water was like a silver belt, the setting sun was like fire, a small village at the foot of the mountain was wafting out of smoke, and there was a faint sound of **** and dogs...

"I understand!" Brother Liu shouted, "I figured it out!"

When Ren Shang came out after hearing the sound, seeing Brother Liu turning around, he excitedly greeted him and said, "Grandpa, I finally figured it out!" He held Ren Shang's hands, Ren Shang felt that, then It's smooth, hairless and clawless hands, and his face, his eyes, his ears...

"Have I become a human?" Brother Liu asked nervously.

"Yeah, if you walk into the crowd now, no one will see that you are an outlier - if you change your tail too."

"The tail? Why is the tail still..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, take your time..."

"Tail, tail, tail... wow, grandpa, how come the ears have grown too!"

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

"Wow, even claws..."

…

"Mother, guess who I am!" Geng Niang's eyes, who were mending her clothes, were suddenly covered.

"Who else can call my mother besides Brother Liu!" Gengniang smiled and pulled his hand down, but saw Brother Liu standing in front of her in a "human" appearance, "Brother Liu, You..."

"Look, I can become a human!" Brother Liu turned around to show his mother, "No tail, no ears, no long nails, it's perfect!"

"..." Geng Niang looked him up and down and stroked his shoulder, "My son has grown up."

"By the way, where's Dad?... I went to the practice room again... No, I'm drinking with Uncle Nong and the others? I'll change it to him!" Brother Liu said with a crackle, and he rolled out like a gust of wind. Go to the door.

Within half an hour, the whole clan knew that Brother Liu could become a human being.

Brother Liu's adult banquet was much more lively than the other children. Although they didn't have many relatives, Jingshi and Gengniang were very popular. Brother Liu had many friends of his own, plus the family who cared about Brother Liu's growth. People, elders... Dozens of wolves crowded the small house of Jing Shi's house.

"Didn't Zhigui and Zhike come?"

"I went to call, and I can't tie them up if they don't come, right?" Brother Liu has been on guard against them since he heard the conversation between the Zhigui brothers a few years ago. Of course, their father's orders were not so sincere when they invited them.

"Go ask them again."

"Don't go!" Brother Liu categorically refused, "If love doesn't come, why don't you put on a pretense to invite over and over again!" .

"Alas." Jingshi sighed, he knew that he shouldn't force his son to accept the Zhigui brothers, after all, in terms of the attitude of the two brothers towards Brother Liu, Brother Liu was polite enough to them. Iliu-ge's personality has always been polite when others are so cold and slow, that's the result of listening to his father's words. "I'll go and call those two brothers," Jing Shi explained to Gengniang, "you greet the guests first."

"Okay," Geng Niang said softly, "but if they really don't want to come, don't force the children."

"I know." Jing Shi bowed his hands to the surrounding guests and hurried out.

"Where is Uncle Jingshi going?"

"Isn't the banquet going to open soon?"

"Yes, Brother Liu..."

The friends asked Liu Ge together.

"He said he was going to call Brother Zhigui." Brother Liu couldn't hide the displeasure on his face no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

"Why did you call them!" Gu'er was about to jump with a bang.

"Gu'er," Shen Zhu said reproachfully, "anyhow, they are also Liu Ge'er's cousins, so it is appropriate to invite them."

"But they have been so arrogant in the school recently, thinking that if their brother doesn't come to class, they will be the first, and they are always arrogant."

"Yeah, I always say bad things about Brother Liu, intentionally or unintentionally!" Lei Feng slammed his fist on the table. After he became a human, he was a burly and frightening man with extraordinary aura, and he had already beaten him. The two brothers had a plan.

"Always make small reports in front of Mr."

"And..."

"And..."

The partners began to express their dissatisfaction with the two brothers, Shen Zhu wanted to say something nice for them, but was given a sentence: "Last time you didn't get punished by Mr. "It didn't make a sound.

"Anyway, Brother Liu has learned to become a human being, so he can come back to the school soon."

"Yes, wait until Brother Liu comes back to see if they are still arrogant!"

"Let's go talk to Mr. right now."

"Sir..."

The buddies couldn't help but say that they ran over to Su Xin with Liu Ge'er in their arms, shouting in a mess, "Sir, sir, can Liu Ge'er come back to school?!" Liu Ge actually didn't think about going back to school at all. He wanted to learn from Ren Shang all the time.

"Brother Liu, you've finally learned it. I've said it long ago that with your talent, there's nothing you can't learn with a little effort." Su Xin smiled so much that her mouth couldn't close. With his usual serious look, he lovingly patted Brother Liu on the shoulder and said.

"Hey hey hey." Su Xin, who was rarely praised as a student, became very proud of his praise in public, and some of his original dissatisfaction with Su Xin disappeared immediately.

"Come back to class tomorrow, and let me see if your studies are down."

"Of course I didn't pull it down." Brother Liu said confidently.

"With such a smart child as Brother Liu, of course we can honor our ancestors. Let's open the banquet and have a good drink." A group of Jing Shi's friends shouted, interrupting the conversation between Brother Liu and Su Xin. .

"Wait a second, everyone. Brother Liu's father will be back soon." Geng Niang hurriedly stepped forward to comfort everyone.

"Where is the head of the family?"

"Why did he disappear after such a big happy event?"

"Leaving my sister-in-law alone to deal with such a big occasion, this guy is really not a thing!"

"Who said that, who doesn't know that the sister-in-law is the head of the family here, right, sister-in-law, punish him to kneel on the washboard at night!"

“…”

Complaining, teasing, adding fuel to the fire... All kinds of well-meaning pranks filled the whole room, Geng Niang was around generously, always smiling, while Liu Ge secretly pouted.

When everyone was tired of waiting and the house started to be noisy, Jingshi finally came back, and followed the Zhigui brothers - he really brought them.

"I finally invited the 'immortal' to come down to earth..." Gu'er muttered dissatisfiedly.

Shen Zhu pushed him: "Get in quickly, so that the adults won't scold him."

Gu'er was so full of anger that she threw a sentence when she passed by Zhigui's brother: "Let the elders and others be embarrassed to sit in chief."

Jing Shi insisted that Brother Zhigui be the chief, and sit with the patriarch, Su Xin, and brother Liu's grandfather.

"Everyone, today is the big day for Xiaoer Liuge. You can appreciate the light to make our family bright and splendid. You are quiet and clumsy, and you can't speak eloquent words. I'll give you a toast first!" Shizuo raised his head and took a toast.

"Done!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Have a good drink today!"

"No drunk, no return!"

…

The moment of silence that had just been caused by Jing Shi's speech suddenly became noisy inside and outside the house. Toasts, fists, and congratulations were heard one after another. It was like opening a pot. Brother Liu who turned into a human figure blushed. Down to the table toast. Most of the guests had their cups drained, and everyone in the whole banquet was smiling, but only two people clearly showed their unhappiness.

Zhigui kept drinking, while Zhike didn't even move his chopsticks and sat at the table. The two brothers were assigned to the chief, and everyone could see their every move clearly. The second time it falls on them, there will be a surge of anger in their hearts: either they won't come, but they will act like this when they come, which makes people angry.

"Brother stay!" Jing Shi's voice was a bit stern, "Toast your cousin."

"I know." Brother Liu smiled, he was a well-mannered child, he didn't show his emotions in public and be disrespectful like Brother Zhigui.

"Big brother, second cousin, let me toast the bar. Come, I will do it first." Brother Liu came to Brother Zhigui with a smile on his face. Bright.

Zhigui forced a smile on his face and raised his glass. However, Zhike sat there still, staring straight at the food and drinks on the table, as if he hadn't heard Brother Liu's words. The people sitting on the chief looked at him all at once, and the atmosphere fell silent.

"Cousin, let's have a drink!" Brother Liu still had a big smile on his face, holding up the wine glass on the table and handing it to Zhike.

"When!!"

Zhike waved his hand, and the cup in Brother Liu's hand flew out and shattered on the ground.

The eyes of the whole room were focused on him.

"I'll do it first as a respect!" Brother Liu raised his head and drank his glass, took a look at the bottom of the glass to Zhike, took a clean empty glass in his hand, and poured it with a jug in his hand. One cup, and handed it to Zhike with both hands, "Cousin, please."

Zhike stood up suddenly and looked straight at Brother Liu.

"Zhike!" An elder rebuked.

"Let's go!" Zhike tugged at Zhigui, turned around and walked out the door. Zhigui seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still followed. Although Zhigui was the elder brother of the pair of brothers, it was obviously the younger brother Zhike who had the final say. They walked out the door one after the other. , leaving a room of guests staring at each other.

"Everyone continue to eat, you're welcome." Jing Shi reassured the guests and looked uneasy in the direction where the two brothers disappeared outside the door. Gengniang understood her husband's intentions, and quietly walked out the door when no one was paying attention.

"It's so annoying! Brother Liu, how can you bear this breath!"

"That's right, just swallow this breath and you are willing!"

"Brother stay..."

When Brother Liu came to the group of friends to toast, these children immediately became noisy and tricked Brother Liu to teach the two brothers a lesson.

"I'm here to toast everyone!" Brother Liu smiled, "Come, come, cheers!"

"Brother Liu, you are too much for them!"

"Yes!"

“…”

Brother Liu squinted and glanced around, seeing that his father and elders were far away from him, he lowered his voice and whispered: "I have already avenged them - the more polite I am, the more they will The more you are scolded by the elders, do you believe it or not!"

"Oh, so that's how it is..." The partners nodded in understanding together, "As expected of Brother Liu, you have a bad heart..."

Jing Shi heard all this clearly, just looking up to see Geng Niang coming in from the door, shaking his head slightly at him, the original joy on his face suddenly subsided, showing a worried or even sad look in his eyes . Although he immediately regained his smile, this moment's expression still fell into Brother Liu's eyes.

Brother Liu didn't speak for a while.

My father paid too much attention to the Zhigui brothers. Why? Something that I was about to forget suddenly came to my mind - my father killed the uncle with his own hands...

At this joyous and festive banquet, Brother Liu felt a sense of unease in his heart that he couldn't explain...

"I'm exhausted!" Brother Liu lay down heavily on the bed, spread out his limbs, and let out a long breath. Recently, he has resumed going to school in the morning. In the afternoon, he practiced martial arts with his father, and then slipped to the ground in the evening. Ren Shang was studying magic, and his life was so tight that he could hardly breathe, but these days, both magic and martial arts have made great progress, and even many things that were hard to understand have suddenly become clear.

"I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted!" Brother Liu rolled around on the bed, complaining.

Although he spins like a spinning top every day, these won't make Brother Liu feel tired, but make him feel full and refreshed all day long. matter.

Sure enough, after a while, Gengniang pushed the door and walked into his house, sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Brother Liu, what do you think of this child Qiao Gu? She made the meal tonight! Good workmanship, right?"

"No...wrong..." Brother Liu lengthened his tone.

"Then what about Qin'er yesterday, she's really a handsome girl, right? And Xiao Chan'er, the second girl of Brother Nong's family, her embroidery skills are among the best in the clan." Gengniang said more and more vigorously. , lifted the sheet covering Brother Liu's face, dragged him up and asked, "Brother Liu, do you have any ideas for yourself?"

"Mother, what can I say, I see several different girls every day, how can I remember who is who..." Brother Liu was about to cry.

"That's right, you can't rely on your child's vision for such important matters, marriage matters, parents' orders, or the words of a matchmaker. It should still be decided by me and your father. I have to discuss it with your father! "

"Mother!" Brother Liu jumped up, "You are too worried about this!"

"Silly child, it's right for your mother to worry about you. This is your lifelong event. Who cares if your mother doesn't worry about it? I don't expect your father who only knows how to drink?"

"Mother...I beg you not to worry about me so much..." Brother Liu pleaded with tears.

"When Liu Ge'er becomes a family, has a wife and a house, and has children in a few years, if she wants to worry about you, she won't be able to worry about it..." Gengniang looked forward to the future infinitely, "At that time, I will Your brother Liu will become the head of the family, a manly man, your wife will naturally take care of you, and your mother will take care of the housework for you and take care of the children..." The more she talked, the farther she went, after making Brother Liu a grandfather life is arranged.

"Mother..." Brother Liu felt like he couldn't cry, "You really want to sell me to women you don't know..."

"Sell? It's so ugly! Mother is hiring for you!"

"Today's housework and three meals, a full set of embroidery, leather and jewelry..." Brother Liu twitched his fingers, "Which one wasn't given to you by those women! He clearly wanted to sell me for these gadgets! "He said angrily, "You are using your son to 'price gouging' to sell me at a high price!"

"You child!" Gengniang gave him a white look, "Of course I'm choosing a daughter-in-law who is both wise and virtuous. If I marry someone who can't do anything, then I'll end up serving you and your father-in-law. Wait for your daughter-in-law outside!"

"Why do you serve our father and daughter-in-law..." Jing Shi pushed open the door and came in. He was drunk and asked while drinking.

"Dad, at whose house did you go to drink again?" Brother Liu greeted listlessly.

"You crazy uncle's family!" Jing Shi slapped her thigh, "I tell you, Brother Liu, Kuang's little daughter, she is beautiful! Very beautiful! You must know her! She is very beautiful! A hundred years younger..." He pointed his fingers excitedly, but he didn't notice Gengniang's dangerous gaze at all. Brother Liu winked and snorted at him, but he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, how could he notice these little gestures. Brother Liu sighed and closed his eyes resignedly.

"...I told you to stay brother..." Jingshi continued, "That little girl is so beautiful..."

"How beautiful?"

"Very beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful girl!"

"Really?"

"Of course! I tell you, if I were a hundred years younger, I..."

"How about a hundred years younger?" Geng Niang gently rubbed her husband's shoulders.

"Geng...Geng...Sister Geng..." Jing Shi finally found out that his son was not alone in the room, meeting his wife's gaze, half awake.

"Xianggong, who's girl did you verbally assign your son to today?"

"No, I didn't agree."

"I didn't agree? Would you agree with others after a few glasses of wine?" Gengniang patted Jing Shi with a handkerchief. If you are a hundred years younger, you don't want a handsome girl like me!"

"Miss Geng, I'm drunk and talking nonsense! How dare I have that kind of mind!"

"Really?"

"Don't you know me, I have the heart and the guts! I..."

Brother Liu covered his eyes under the quilt—how on earth was he born by such a stupid father!

"There's that thief's heart... so that's what it is..." Gengniang nodded.

"Miss Geng, don't look at me like this..." Jing Shi let out a whimper, "Brother Liu, tell your mother now, I never..."

"Don't bring your son in, come back to my room!"

"Sister Geng..."

Geng Niang gave him a white look, and walked out with great demeanor.

"Ms. Geng, Brother Liu..." Jing Shi held his hands and looked around for a while, but still followed him obediently.

"Gu Gu Gu..." Brother Liu covered his head with a quilt and rolled around laughing.

Since Brother Liu held his coming-of-age ceremony, he has become the best son-in-law in the eyes of families with girls. Those who asked a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage are not counted. The parents personally came forward to tell Jingshi and Liniang, and the girls themselves came to the door in an endless stream. Jingshi was busy eating outside all day, and she didn't know how many times she sold her son on the sprinkle table, while Gengniang dealt with the mothers of the girls and the girls themselves, and collected a lot of embroidery. , jewelry, every day analyzes which daughter is better in craftsmanship and more congenial in temperament.

Brother Liu also knows that marriage matters are of course up to his parents to decide, and he shouldn't intervene too much, but he really doesn't want to get married so early at all. He felt awkward when living with the girls he had passed.

"Hey... I hope my parents are too picky, don't make a decision for a while." Brother Liu got up from the bed, put on his shoes, and walked out of the house quietly - even now his parents knew that he was alone every day After going out to practice spells, he still couldn't help but go out by sneaking.

It has just rained on the ground, and the air is moist and fresh, with the smell of grass and trees. Brother Liu took a deep breath of this air, which was completely different from the ground, and stretched his limbs. Having been on the ground every day over the years, he's completely used to it and loves everything on the ground.

He looked up at the stars to determine the time in the same way as a business teacher, and then jumped and ran to the caves where he lived.

"Grandpa, I'm here, we..." Brother Liu shouted and ran into the cave, only to find another old man sitting with Ren Shang sipping tea in the cave, so he stopped.

"Brother Liu, come here," Ren Shang beckoned to him and said to the old man, "Look, this is the child I'm talking about."

"Oh..." The old man stroked his beard and looked up and down Brother Liu, "Children of the Earth Wolf..."

Brother Liu didn't know what was going on here, so he walked up to Ren Shang and stood with his hands down.

The old man looked at Brother Liu for a while, and said to Ren Shang, "Looks like a smart kid, but..."

"Brother Hu, don't force it, I just mentioned it casually, forget it." Ren Shang said with a smile, "I know that the nobles' illusions are never passed on."

"It's not that it can't be passed on. There are no rules in the clan that can't be passed on. It's just..." The old man pondered over and over again. He and Ren Shang had been in a relationship for hundreds of years. On a whim a few days ago, he blurted out that Ren Shang could mention anything. I asked myself to agree to it as a birthday gift for Ren Shang, but he didn't expect that Ren Shang would immediately put forward such a request that it was not difficult to say, but it was very troublesome for him. "It's just some of our spells, which are not learned by outsiders, not even a mature wild fox, the child of this earth wolf..."

"Hehe, don't underestimate this kid, his brain is so smart."

"Illusion?" "Can't foreigners learn it?" "Can't even a mature wild fox learn it?" These conversations entered Brother Liu's ears line by line. His heart was pounding, could this old man be... Could it be that what he and his grandfather were talking about—he stared nervously at the thinking old man, for fear that he would spit out the word "no".

"Alas, a gentleman," the old man finally sighed and said, "Who told me to say it all! Well, I'll teach it!"

"Really!" Brother Liu blurted out, he had a kind of excitement that he wanted to jump to the top of the cave.

Ren Shang glanced at him with a smile and asked, "Do you know what we're talking about?"

Brother Liu nodded.

"Tell me."

"I guess this senior must be a nine-tailed celestial fox, and what my grandfather asked him to teach me was the illusion of the nine-tailed celestial fox." Brother Liu confidently expressed his guess.

"Hehe, really smart." The old man laughed, "Okay. Now that you have guessed it, do you have the confidence to learn from me?"

"Yes!" Brother Liu straightened his waist and answered loudly.

"I will only give you five days. I will teach you carefully during these five days. If you learn it in five days, I will teach you another spell as a reward. If you can't learn it within five days. , you'll never have a chance."

"I can learn!"

"Haha, Brother Ren, your grandson has a good tone!"

"Don't underestimate him, I see, you have to teach him two spells."

"Then let's start from tomorrow, it's too late today." Ren Shang wanted to buy more time for brother Liu, he instructed brother Liu, "From tomorrow, you will come here to learn from brother Hu, and cherish it. This opportunity, I have something to leave for a few days, come back and check how you are doing."

"Grandpa is going out?" Brother Liu felt a little uneasy that Ren Shang was not around.

"There is something in my clan, go back and have a look." Ren Shang's face restrained a smile.

"Where to go back?" Elder Hu obviously had some dissatisfaction, and put the cup down heavily, "What are you going to do in that kind of place!?"

Ren Shang bowed his head and said nothing.

"In short, after Qiu Niang's death, you should understand why you still treat them as..."

Ren Shang looked at Brother Liu beside him, but didn't answer.

"Son," Elder Hu waved to Brother Liu, "you go back today, come on time tomorrow, I will teach you! I have something to talk to your grandfather!"

"Yes." Brother Liu knew that the two old men were going to say something that he couldn't hear, so he hurriedly agreed, bowed to the old man Hu, walked out, took a few steps and looked back at Ren Shang. , I can't help but feel reluctant to think that he will not be here tomorrow.

"Go, I'll be back in three or two days." Ren Shang waved to Brother Liu, "Don't forget to work hard, I'll wait and see."

"Yes." Brother Liu got the exact time of his return, let out a sigh of relief, and left with a smile.

"Brother Ren, this child..." Elder Hu said a few words but didn't go on. Like Ren Shang, he stared at the door where Brother Liu was leaving.

"La la la, la la, tomorrow I'm going to learn illusion..." Brother Liu hummed a little song proudly, and ran back with joy, he really wanted to give himself the opportunity to learn the illusion of the nine-tailed fox It was a pity that Ren Shang had repeatedly warned him that he was not allowed to mention himself to anyone, so over the years, even his parents did not tell him where he learned his spells.

It's a bit disappointing not being able to show off, but thinking of the pride in showing illusion in front of his clan makes him more excited.

"La la la, la la la..." Brother Liu sang all the way over, but he didn't notice that there were two pairs of eyes staring at him.

"He came down from the ground..." Zhike walked out of the hiding place and said to Zhigui behind him.

Zhigui also opened his eyes in disbelief: "He dared to go to the ground alone."

The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, and Zhike said decisively: "Let's go, let's go up and see what the **** he's up to!"

The next day, Brother Liu was immersed in excitement all day. After dinner, he slipped out of the door early before his mother noticed.

"Miss Geng! Sister Geng!" Jingshi cried anxiously as he rushed into the house, but Brother Liu had left early.

"Where is Brother Liu! Where is Brother Liu!" Jingshi shouted loudly, pushing the door "ping-ping-pong-pong".

Geng Niang came out of the room and asked inexplicably, "What's the matter? You left brother to go out, what are you doing?"

"Did he go to the ground again?" Jing Shi asked with a pale face.

"The ground?"

Jing Shi looked at his wife with a bloodless face: "He, he has been with... I'm going to chase him back recently!" After speaking, he turned around and ran wildly, disregarding the etiquette of the earth wolf clan, and got out from the ceiling.

Geng Niang stayed in the room, thinking silently: "On the ground, Brother Liu went to the ground...'He has been with'...with what? With whom...what happened...could it be... ..." She thought of the most terrifying thought, and she couldn't help trembling, "No, brother Liu is my son! No! Brother Liu is my son!"

Brother Liu stood uprightly, showing his most respectful appearance under Elder Hu's scrutiny. He could see that the nine-tailed fox old man was far from being as easy-going and amiable as Ren Shang, so he didn't dare to make trouble at all.

"Your name is Brother Liu, right?"

"Yes, sir, it's Brother Liu."

"Brother Liu..." Elder Hu seemed to be savoring the name, and Brother Liu couldn't help but think - he wouldn't stop teaching me because he didn't like my name?

"Okay, I'll teach you illusion from today, you come out with me." Elder Hu motioned Brother Liu to follow him out of the cave.

"I'm about to learn illusion, soon..." Brother Liu was nervous and excited, his palms were sweating.

"You..." Elder Hu was about to ask something, but suddenly changed his words and asked, "Brother Liu, have you told others about me?"

"No!" Brother Liu hurriedly shook his head.

"Really?" Elder Hu nodded, but turned around suddenly and waved his hand. A gust of wind blew the bushes behind Brother Liu tossing and turning, revealing a ground wolf hiding behind him. The man came, "Humph!" Elder Hu snorted coldly and asked Brother Liu, "Your clan?"

"Mr. Su Xin..." Brother Liu murmured while looking at the wolf man.

Su Xin's face was embarrassed, she patted the grass and dust on her body and walked out embarrassed. He has been quietly following Brother Liu, and when he saw Brother Liu entering the cave, he approached. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the old man Hu. When he saw the old man Hu clearly, he seemed startled, and he quickly stepped back a few times. He took a step and gave a deep salute to Elder Hu: "It turned out to be a nine-tailed celestial fox. I'm really disrespectful." He had already recognized the identity of Elder Hu.

"Don't be too polite." Elder Hu said indifferently.

"Below is Su Xin of the Earth Wolf Clan. Dare I ask the honorable name of Your Excellency Tianhu?" Su Xin's tone was full of respect.

"Hu, Hu Lisheng."

"Puchi." Brother Liu couldn't help laughing beside him - the name of this nine-tailed fox old man was actually "Fox Sheng". Two sharp eyes fell on him together. He was busy trying to withdraw his smile, his face turning red.

"Brother Liu, since all your elders have come to pick you up, you should go back today and come back tomorrow." Hu Lisheng was obviously very unhappy and said coldly.

"Oh. Got it." Brother Liu knew that he couldn't learn today, so he agreed bitterly.

Hu Lisheng ignored Su Xin and Brother Liu who were saying goodbye to him, and turned back to the cave.

"I could have learned the illusion that only nine-tailed foxes can do today." After stepping out of Hu Lisheng's line of sight, Brother Liu finally couldn't help but began to grumble and complain.

"Of course, of course, it's your husband's fault, you shouldn't follow you, stay brother, don't be angry with your husband." Su Xin laughed stupidly, her face flushed with excitement, "So you have been Why didn't you tell me earlier when I was learning magic with this fox? It made the elders worry about you."

"Don't let me speak." Brother Liu was vague.

"Of course, of course, don't tell me if you don't tell me, Mr. Liu is a hundred people at ease, haha, the illusion of the nine-tailed fox, the illusion of the nine-tailed fox, they have never been rumored. Yes, Brother Liu, great work!" He patted Brother Liu **** the shoulder, and he seemed more excited than Brother Liu himself that Brother Liu was going to learn the illusion of the nine-tailed fox.

"Sir, what do you think the nine-tailed fox's illusion is like? Mr. Hu only gave me five days, saying that if I couldn't learn it, he would never teach it again, but if I learned him Just teach me another spell as a reward! I'm a little worried, such a difficult spell is only five days away, and I've never seen such a spell with my own eyes."

"I've only seen it once..." Su Xin recalled, "It was more than a hundred years ago, and that nine-tailed celestial fox was so young—a little older than you at most—but fighting alone. A large group of monsters, it is really free and easy, like an understatement, after he used the illusion, alas, I can't describe it... Anyway, brother Liu, what you got like this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it. "

"I know it's a rare opportunity to learn spells that I haven't seen before, and I'll seize it."

Jing Shi ran towards him and saw his aggressive appearance. Brother Liu jumped to the side smartly, and finally escaped the disaster, but Su Xin and Jing Shi collided with each other again. Everyone fell on all fours. Jingshi's martial arts practitioner, with strong muscles and bones, immediately bounced off the ground, grabbed his son, and shook and asked, "Brother Liu, are you okay? Are you okay?"

"Father..." Brother Liu cautiously pointed at his feet, "Mr. he..."

Su Xin was hit by Jing Shi firmly in the chest, she was hiding on the ground and moaning, unable to get up for a long time.

"Mr. Su Xin, are you alright? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Jing Shi picked up Su Xin and swept away the dust for him with his hands, making a "puff" sound. Brother Liu opened his mouth and took a breath.

"No...no...thing..." Su Xin finally caught her breath and strongly rejected Jing Shi's kindness.

"Father, why are you here?" Brother Liu asked in confusion. What's the matter today, how did Mr. and father appear on the ground together? And they all seem to have made a special trip to find themselves.

"Brother Liu, how are you? Have you been deceived? That person..."

"Brother Jingshi, the one who taught Brother Liu's spells is a celestial fox." Su Xin interrupted him.

"Tian... fox..." Jing Shi opened his mouth wide, "Teach Liu brother spells?"

"Brother, your son is really amazing!" Su Xin said proudly, "I will soon give up my position as the first mage of the whole family."

"Tianhu..." Jing Shi was still in shock, "Brother Liu, go and learn spells from others, don't you lose the face of our earth wolf clan?"

"Of course not!" Brother Liu pouted, "Why did Mr. come and you come too, what happened today?"

Jing Shi was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said, "I heard that you ran to the ground yourself, don't worry, come and take a look, you know the ground is very dangerous, haha..."

"I'm not a child anymore, I won't get lost!" Brother Liu stomped his feet to make the child angry.

Jing Shi sighed in her heart. It's better not to let Brother Liu know the truth. Su Xin looked at the father and son, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Why do you frame Brother Liu for dating Wushang!" In the afternoon class, Su Xin angrily walked up to Zhigui and Zhike, waved and slapped each of them hard.

"I'm dating Wushang!" Brother Liu jumped up and rushed in front of Brother Zhigui, "Why are you talking nonsense like this!" Only then did he understand why his husband and father followed him, why The father would be so anxious and worried, and why did the husband do such sneaky things that did not match his identity, "Associating with Wushang!" This kind of slander made him shudder, and he stared viciously. Brother Zhigui roared, "I'm sorry for you guys! I've given you all my respect since I was a child, and I have endured everywhere.

Brother Zhigui took Su Xin's slap, and they all bowed their heads in fear, but when Brother Liu questioned them, the eyes they aimed at Brother Liu were still full of resentment.

"You'd better be careful. From today, I don't care if you are my uncle's son or not. As long as you fall into my hands, I will never be polite! Do you hear me? Be careful!"

"Brother Liu, it's alright," Su Xin patted him on the shoulder, not only did he not get angry when Brother Liu made such a fuss in the school, he comforted him with kind words, "It's no wonder you're angry when something like this happened. , but Zhigui and the others are also confused for a while, and it’s enough to figure things out.” He looked at the students and announced loudly: “Tell everyone, Brother Liu really sneaked to the ground these days, but he communicated and gave advice. His spell is not harmless, but a senior nine-tailed fox."

"Nine-tailed fox,"

"Nine-tailed fox?"

"Did you hear that? Mr. said yes..."

"Brother Liu, is this true?"

"Oh my god, that's amazing!"

There was a sudden discussion among the students, and everyone couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.

In the land of Qingqiu, the Nine-tailed Fox clan is regarded as an auspicious symbol by the residents here, and has a very high status among many races.

Moreover, the nine-tailed fox clan is proficient in spells, and there are many people who have cultivated their hearts in the past dynasties. They are a race that lives as a small family unit and are extraordinarily united with each other. There is no race in the country of Qingqiu that can compare with them.

The residents of the country of Qingqiu respect them so highly, and the nine-tailed fox also thinks highly of themselves. This race rarely interacts with foreigners. When they are invited to participate in any major domestic event, they also send a few messengers to deal with them politely. No matter how much intervention, the residents of the Country of Qingqiu usually don’t have many opportunities to meet or communicate with them, let alone learn spells from them.

"And..." Su Wen Su Xin watched everyone continue to announce, "This fox will also teach Liu Ge'er illusion."

"Illusion!"

The students' mouths are getting bigger and bigger.

The magic of the illusion of the Nine-tailed Fox clan is well known to the world.

"This is the luck of staying with my brother, and also the luck of our family!" Su Xin sighed. As long as Brother Liu learns the illusion, it will last a long time. As time goes by, more and more people of the earth wolf clan will naturally learn this spell. After a few hundred years, perhaps the earth wolf clan will become the second largest after the nine-tailed fox. They are a race famous for their illusions, and they will be harmless at that time, and even the gods on the ground may not be the opponents of the wolves. The more Su Xin thought about it, the more complacent she became, and "hehe" laughed. The students also thought of this possibility one after another, discussing with each other, showing unconcealed excited smiles.

"School is over today," Su Xin announced loudly, "keep your brother back and have a good rest, so that you can prepare to learn illusions tomorrow—don't go to practice martial arts today, you know?" He added another order.

"Yes." Brother Liu hurriedly agreed, he knew that his husband was always dissatisfied with his spending a lot of time on martial arts, just like his father didn't like spending a lot of time on magic. Why can't they understand themselves like their grandfather, understand that they are studying for the thirst for knowledge and academics, and respect their own interests? When is grandpa coming back? Brother Liu began to count his days, thinking that he would face the serious Hu Lisheng studying alone, and he was really a little nervous.

"Brother Liu, what does a nine-tailed fox look like?"

"Is there really nine tails?"

"It must be majestic and imposing, right?"

"No, I guess he must be immortal, floating out of the dust. Brother Liu, are you right?"

"That's not it..." Brother Liu poured cold water on the group of guessing friends, "It's almost like Yu's grandfather - just a little old man."

"Alas..." The companions sighed in disappointment.

"Then the spells he teaches are very good?"

"Amazing, the nine-tailed fox's magic." Brother Liu had never learned Hu Lisheng's magic, so he was biting the bullet.

"Then you have learned illusion, can you come back and teach us?" Shen Zhu asked expectantly.

"As long as Mr. Hu doesn't say that I don't allow me to spread it, of course I will teach you first. If he says that, then..."

"Of course, people don't allow you to teach you, of course you can't teach, but if you do, you have to be the first to teach me!"

"Me too."

"And me."

The partners signed up one after another to participate in Brother Liu's illusion teaching class, but Gu Er Nuonuo said, "I don't think I can learn it, and Brother Liu doesn't have to work hard for me."

"If you quit before you learn, you are too useless!" The buddies fired at him together.

"I think it's not that he is not promising, nor that he can't learn, but that he has no time to learn!" Yu shook his head and said, "You don't know yet, the family cake has already been booked, and the new year will be welcomed next month. The lady went to the church, and even the dowry was paid."

"What! No way!" The boys shouted together.

"Why not, he ordered the niece of my fourth uncle's brother-in-law, and if he is fooled, others will be able to hide it from me!"

"Gu'er, is it true?!" Everyone immediately surrounded Gu'er in the middle.

"No, no, no... it's not fake." Gu'er finally didn't dare to lie under the stern gaze of this group of partners, "It was ordered by my parents, and I don't even know anything about other parents. I don't know."

"When you become a relative, you won't know until you worship."

"The bridegroom can be anxious, why don't we accompany you to take a peek at what your future sister-in-law looks like?"

"I didn't expect, ah, I didn't expect that among us, it was you who had family affairs first! I recently proposed a marriage proposal to my brother Liu so vigorously, I thought he would be the first to marry a daughter-in-law!"

"Why are you dragging me in again! I'm not a cake, I just hang on to what the bride looks like all day long."

"Where am I hanging like this."

"I just said it myself, but I'm still stubborn!"

"Die stay brother, you are begging for a beating!"

"No shame, no shame, Gu'er is thinking about his daughter-in-law!"

"Don't run!"

“…”

Su Xin said that he wanted to leave his brother to rest early, but he still fought with his friends for a few hours. He didn't step into the house until dinner time. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jing Shi and Geng Niang both sitting at the table waiting for him.

"Father, mother." Brother Liu knew that his parents must have something to say to him, so he walked over obediently.

Jing Shi and Gengniang looked at each other a few times and sighed. Gengniang spoke first: "Brother Liu, this incident really scared me and your father into pieces, you know?"

"I know I was wrong."

"It's not your fault to learn magic, it's just that you should discuss it with your parents first. Even if it's not harmless, there are still people with sinister intentions in the world. Do you understand that if you don't come back and tell me, you'll be fine? I really don't say, in case, in case... if you make a mistake, how can you tell your mother to live..." After speaking, he began to wipe away tears.

Brother Liu is not afraid of the sky and the earth. He is most afraid of seeing his mother crying. He knelt down on his knees, hugged Gengniang's legs and said, "Mother, I will not dare in the future."

Jing Shi had been sitting next to him without making a sound, and then he said slowly, "Brother Liu, how did you know this fox?"

"I..." Brother Liu opened his mouth and swallowed the words back - to tell the truth, it was said that it was introduced by Ren Shang, so who was Ren Shang? How did you meet again? Wait, wait... There will be a lot of problems involved, and I have also promised to be a businessman and not tell anyone about him. Among these "anyone", naturally his parents are included, right?

"I was in a bad mood when I learned not to become a human being. I ran around on the ground and met him." - Brother Liu didn't specify which "he" it was.

"And then keep learning spells from him?"

"Hmm."

"For so many years, I haven't shown any words in front of my parents..." Jing Shi sighed heavily.

"Because I promised not to tell anyone about him, didn't my father always teach me to do what I say and do what I promise." Brother Liu hurriedly defended himself.

"I know, I didn't say you were wrong..." Jing Shi looked very tired, looking like he was a few decades older. Obviously, the incident of "Brother Liu and Wu Shou" had hit him hard. Jing Shi said slowly, "Brother Liu, you have grown up too, so parents shouldn't interfere too much in your affairs, but in the same way, you shouldn't be as reckless as you were when you were young. This time Maybe you just smiled and passed, but have you ever thought about how serious it is! Interacting with Wushuang... You can't bear such a crime on your small shoulders."

"I'm not afraid of shadows! I haven't done anything wrong with my conscience!" Brother Liu replied confidently.

"You don't understand the seriousness of the incident at all!" Jing Shi slapped the table heavily and yelled.

The teacup and bowl jumped high, and then slammed onto the table again. Brother Liu was so frightened that he shivered and looked at his father with wide eyes. In his memory, his father had never lost his temper at him like this.

"...You don't understand, you don't understand..." Jingshi lowered his head and said, "You don't have to do anything to make you feel sorry for your clan and your conscience, as long as you have the name Wushang on it... Brother, what is he? He didn't do it, he pointed to the ground and swore to me that he didn't betray the clan... and there was no evidence, no evidence, just no injuries, that's enough... enough..." Jing Shi's voice Lower and lower, two lines of turbid tears slid down his cheeks.

"Uncle, what did he do?" Brother Liu summoned the courage to ask.

Jing Shi raised his head, his eyes met his son's, father and son looked at each other for a long time before Jing Shi sighed: "I should have thought that you are so old, and that incident is so famous, you can't ignore it. to the wind."

"..." Brother Liu didn't know how to explain why he knew what happened.

"It's okay if you know, it's time to let you know..." Jing Shi said slowly, "How much do you know about Big Brother?"

"I know that the uncle used to be one of the best mage in the clan. Later, he secretly communicated with Wushang behind the back of his clan's back, and later, later..." Brother Liu bit his lip and couldn't continue.

"In the end, I forced the big brother to death..." Jing Shi choked.

Brother Liu listened carefully, what Jingshi said was somewhat different from what he had heard - what he heard was that Jingshi killed his relatives righteously and killed Wakaishi himself, and what Jingshi said was that he "forced" Wakaishi died.

Seeing her husband choked and unable to speak, Gengniang took it over and said, "At that time, there were successive conflicts between our clan and Wushang, and we suffered a series of losses and many casualties. The clansmen all suspected that it was because of a traitor. That's it. At that time, the uncle often lived on the ground and never came back, and there were rumors in the clan that he had contacts with Wushang." Speaking of which, Gengniang sighed. When he was young, like all the wolves, his parents were engaged to him by his parents, but after they got married, their relationship between husband and wife was very discordant. It was his wife who reported to the elders of the clan about his relationship with Wushang on the ground.

"The uncle was ordered to come back immediately to explain it to the elders of the clan, but the uncle refused these orders again and again, and claimed that he had lived in the dark underground and had **** with the innocent people. In the days of endless slaughter, he will break away from the wolf clan and the earth, and live the life of an ordinary monster on the soil."

"Ah! He's crazy!" Brother Liu blurted out--leave the earth and live on the ground? This kind of thing is good for my brother, or for other earth wolves, I don't even dare to think about it.

"Yes," Gengniang said, looking at her husband, "the clansmen's reaction was the same as yours, they all thought he was crazy, but your father didn't think so. He should have suddenly become so crazy, so he went to his uncle and said..."

Jing Shi covered her face with her hands, sobbing hard: "If only I hadn't gone to Big Brother... I'm so stupid! I'm so damned! Woohoo..."

Brother Liu had already heard that Ruoshi was killed because his father went to him this time. He looked at his mother nervously, waiting for her to tell the details.

"Your father went to the ground to find the uncle, and found that he had set up a home for himself on the ground, with a wife and a newborn son..."

"He married a race on the ground?" Brother Liu understands why the uncle insists on living on the ground. If he marries a human or a woman of another race, he cannot let him live underground like a wolf. Bar?

"He asked for a woman from a foreign race, but that woman is not a race on the ground, but an innocent..."

"Bang!" Brother Liu hit the ceiling because his head bounced off the ground too high. "Is he really crazy!" Saying this word made Brother Liu's mane stand on end. If you want another woman like that to be a bedside person - this kind of thing can only be done by a lunatic. Uncle Ruo Shi may not really be a traitor, he is a complete lunatic!

...I can't understand why the eldest brother did this. He would abandon his wife, young son and the whole family for the sake of a harmless one...

"Then what?" Brother Liu could almost guess what happened next.

"The clansmen went to the ground and wanted to take the uncle back for disposal, but the uncle's mana was strong, and the innocent woman's kung fu was not weak, so the clansmen injured many good players again and again, and they were finally subdued. The uncle protested repeatedly. , said that he just didn't want to live the old days, that Wushang woman, like him, had betrayed the Wushang family, so he did not, and could not possibly collude with the Wushang family."

"Do the clansmen not believe him?" Brother Liu asked.

"No, at first the clan people would rather believe him, because the uncle is a cunning person in the clan after all, and he has made a lot of credit for the clan, and everyone is willing to believe that it was a battle from the bottom of their hearts. Misunderstanding, I hope the uncle can clear his name and return to the clan."

"Then how could the uncle die?"

"Alas..." Geng Niang sighed, "At that time, the clan wanted to **** the uncle back, and what was to be done with his wife, the innocent woman? Everyone was reluctant to bring an innocent person, and I also believe that the uncle left the clan because he was tempted by this innocent cup, so at that time a clan member cut off the head of the innocent woman with one sword without waiting for everyone to stop..."

"Ah..." Brother Liu opened his mouth wide.

"Originally, the uncle had already stopped resisting, but when he saw that the woman was killed, he suddenly broke the rope and rushed up like crazy, biting the clan's throat with one bite."

"Ah!" Brother Liu exclaimed again.

"Although the uncle injured a lot of clansmen in the previous resistance, he never killed a single person. At this time, he became extremely ferocious, and he started killing several people. After killing several people, he rushed in. A small baby was picked up from the house, and then ran into the woods..."

"Your father didn't mention the child to the clan, so the clan did not expect that the uncle and the innocent woman had been together for so long, and even the child was born. Second, the child was too quiet, and most of the fighting outside He didn't even cry for an hour, so when everyone saw the uncle came out with a child, they were all stunned. The child born without injury, Yuan Wu did not believe that the uncle was a traitor, and all the clansmen believed that the uncle betrayed the wolf clan. It was dispatched and chased and intercepted on the unfamiliar ground for seven days, during which I don’t know how many people died, and it was not until the seventh day that your father caught up with the uncle who had not slept his eyes and had no food or drink for seven days and seven nights…”

Following his mother's description, Brother Liu remembered the nightmare many years ago: Ruo Shi was running away on the ground, running away, and finally Jing Shi stopped him... Thinking of that vivid dream, Liu Ge hit shivered.

...Your father asked his uncle to come to plead with him, but your uncle categorically refused, because our tribe and him have a hatred for killing his wife, so he will never come back...

Hearing this, Brother Liu trembled again. Before that, he only cared about what happened next and the result of his uncle, and he didn't care about the death of the innocent woman at all. "But for Uncle, that's his wife, not someone who deserves to be slashed with a thousand cuts." Brother Liu instantly understood Uncle's mood. If he gets married in the future, and if he is as harmonious as his parents, no matter who kills his wife, he will go crazy.

"...At that time your father wanted to use force to force your uncle to come back. Your uncle was already exhausted and could no longer fight against your father, so after a few moves, your father restrained him. At this time, your uncle suddenly kneeled Kneel down to your father and beg him to spare them father and son in brotherhood..."

Brother Liu's heart sank happily. Although his mother hasn't said the result yet, he already understands how Ruo Shi died...

"Your father and the uncle's father died early, and the two brothers and the old mother depended on each other for life. Of course, he is willing to let your uncle survive. He estimated at the time that if the uncle would repent and add him to save his life, The clan may be able to spare the uncle, but that child..." Geng Niang said about this tragic past, her face became bloodless, "Your father thinks that child can't stay..."

"That child..." Brother Liu's heart tightened.

"When your father said this to the uncle, the uncle suddenly kowtowed a few times to your father and said, 'My son's name is Ning Ge'er, I will ask you to brother in the future,' and he grabbed your father after saying that. The sword, thrust into his own chest..."

"That's how the uncle died..." Brother Liu's lips trembled, "What about that child? That elder brother Ning..." He pondered, could that be one of Zhigui Zhike's brothers? his own cousin.

"Dead, the child is also dead." Jing Shi sat there and said.

"What? Killing your parents doesn't count, not even a baby! He's still a child, he doesn't understand anything!" Brother Liu angrily exclaimed, "Father, you are always so nice to Zhigui and the others. , why don't you think about it, this child is also your nephew and the blood of your uncle! Uncle, he used his own life in exchange for you to save his son, but you..."

"Crack!" Gengniang raised her hand and gave Brother Liu a slap in the face. She pointed at Brother Liu with a pale face and scolded: "You little beast, what do you know! Do you know how much effort your father put into keeping that child? His hair was half white that night. You even said this to hurt his heart! That child is too young, too young, he was born with insufficiency, and his life was hanging by a thread. No matter what, he can't be saved... Poor child, I hold him When I was with him, he became cold a little bit, and he still grabbed my fingers with his hands, my poor child..." She burst into tears, "He's only a month old, he just went like that... Poor child..." Jing Shi sat next to her, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Mother, father..." Brother Liu regretted it too much, he clearly didn't know anything, but he blurted out such excessive words, his eyes reddened and he burst into tears.

"Brother Liu, when that child died, Mother's heart was broken. Mother's baby is only you. No matter what happens, let mother die again." Gengniang hugged Brother Liu. In their arms, the mother and son cried together. Jingshi stretched out his arms, wrapped his wife in one hand, and his son in the other, holding them tightly to his chest—this was his rare treasure in this world, and it was his last life sustenance.

"Son, today my parents told you these unwilling past events, just to let you know that things are often not as simple as the parties thought. Did you know that after the eldest brother died, the clan only found out that it was a collusion between the Wushang clan Some snipers approached my clan from scratch like an incarnation of a gopher, stealing and eavesdropping on my clan's information~IndoMTL.com~ All of this has nothing to do with my big brother. Big brother, he is innocent, but he is dead. He is still called a traitor, a traitor by the clansmen! This is how things are in the world, no one thinks about why the elder brother killed the clansman, only remembers that he married an innocent woman and escaped from the family. Even calling him a traitor is wrong, you don’t understand when you are young Weigh the weight and take one wrong step. Even if you have no intention of harming others, you can't stand a hat on your head! This time the Nine-Tailed Fox is nothing. Discuss with your parents, understand?"

Brother Liu was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep tossing and turning, the words of his father kept echoing in his mind.

Over the years, he thought the uncle was a traitor just like the clansmen. Although he deeply sympathized with him, he was a traitor who colluded with Wu Huo after all, and it was all his own fault. After listening to the truth of the matter from his parents, Brother Liu began to be unable to judge whether the uncle was wrong. Say he was wrong, he really didn't betray his clan, he just wanted to live a strange life on the ground that was chosen by himself. Shouldn't everyone be free? Whenever someone in the clan wants to travel far away and build their own new home in a distant place, wouldn’t they be blessed by the clan people? Why can't uncle? Saying that he was right, he really had contacts with Wushang and married a Wushang woman as his wife. Is it a crime to associate with Wushang but not betray the wolves? Brother Liu can't figure this out.

Although he has been warned by his parents, Brother Liu is not worried about his own affairs at all. Anyway, he will never go out with Wushang. On the contrary, it is the uncle's affairs that worries him even more. He rolls in the bed. Rolling around, he finally fell asleep with his tail in his head.
