Chapter 8 Missing
The night is dark and the stars are sparse, and the night wind by the sea is very strong and cold.
Waves wave after wave, never stopping beating the coast, making waves of impact.
In the dark, a figure stood by the seaside, motionless, as if waiting for something.
"Woo..." There was a sound of a conch in the distance, as if calling something.
In a short time, a figure in the dark flew to the seaside like lightning. When he arrived at the seaside, he looked around and came under a stone. Suddenly, he found a figure standing there, which made his heart tight. This man stood in the dark and could not see the other party's face with his skills. He quickly thought of something and then relieved himself.
"The junior was delayed due to something and came a little late. Please forgive me." After the figure arrived, he said very respectfully to the person standing there. Listening to the sound, he is also very old.
"All right. Just wait a little more, it's nothing serious. This is what you want." The figure in the dark threw out a burden.
The figure reached out and didn't look at it. He hugged his fist and said, "Thank you, senior."
"Don't be so polite. We are just returning the favors of your ancestors. In the dark, the man said.
Just as the figure wanted to leave, the man suddenly shouted, "Wait."
"I don't know what else the senior has to tell you?" The figure stopped and asked doubtfully. In the past, when he came to pick up things, the other party put them under the rock. This time, he actually saw the other party himself. He was a little confused at that time, and now he is called by the other party, and he is also a little uneasy.
"The reason why I appeared this time is that I want to ask you for help?" The figure in the dark said.
"I don't know what's difficult for you, let me help you." The figure pondered for a while and suddenly asked. As the other party, you have to let yourself help. Can you, an ordinary martial artist, help?
"Don't worry, it's not difficult. I have a child, and his mother is one of my nieces. But unfortunately, his mother died a few months ago. His father sent the child to me for revenge. Originally, with the child's qualifications, I really wanted to stay. But there are some secrets involved, and he can't stay. Therefore, I want to give him to you so that you can raise him well. The figure in the dark said sadly.
The man hesitated for a moment, looked at the hands stretched out in the dark, and involuntarily stretched out his hands to take the baby over.
"This child is so well-bred. He has a ring on his neck, which was left to him by his mother before he died. Oh, by the way, this child is called Gongsun Xuan. The man in the dark suddenly remembered that he had not said the child's name.
"Gongsun Xuan." The figure muttered. He looked down at the sleeping baby in his arms. When he looked up, he found that the figure in the dark had disappeared and seemed to have left.
He sighed helplessly and had to hold the child back into the darkness.
······
The sea is boundless and vast, and I don't know the bounds.
In the sea far away from the mainland, there is a wide island surrounded by fog. There are many people living on this island.
An old figure quickly passed through a vast forest to the center of the island. In the center of the island is a wide basin, the center of which is an extremely magnificent mountain. The mountain, towering into the clouds, has ninety-nine peaks.
The figure is like a monkey, quickly crisscrossing between the mountains. A jump is dozens of feet away.
Before long, he came to a steep peak. Looking at the fog, he looked at the child in his arms and took care of it carefully.
A jump on a steep cliff as if flying. In the middle of the mountain, the wind between the peaks was very strong and cold, so he had to give a little skill to resist the mountain wind for the child in his arms.
Half an hour later, he climbed to the top of the mountain.
At the peak, there are 99 steps, and behind the steps, there is a tall stone hall.
As soon as the figure reached the peak, it immediately made a long roar, echoing between the peaks.
For a while, there was a long roar in response from everywhere. When the figure entered the stone hall and rested for half an hour, nine figures broke in.
"Ah ha ha, old man Xue is back." An old man with a long beard came over with a laugh. When he saw that old man Xue was still holding a child in his hand, he was immediately surprised and grabbed the child and asked, "Old man Xue, where did you pick up a baby back? Well, this child's bones are so good. Ah ha ha, this is a good seedling."
The old man with a long beard suddenly glowed in his eyes and seemed to find the treasure.
"Jiuyan, quiet, the child is asleep. Don't wake him up. It would be troublesome to wake him up. Old Xue listened to Jiuyan's high voice and frowned and said. These days, he has been taking care of the child, but he knows well that the child is powerful.
"Ah, yes, yes." After the old man Xue reminded him, Jiuyan quickly lowered his voice.
Other people also gathered around and looked at the children in Jiuyan's hands one by one. When they found the baby's bones, their eyes were shining as if they had picked up a baby.
"Old Xue, you picked up a treasure this time. This child's bones are much higher than ours. If ** is good, maybe he will be another warrior who steps into the fourth step after Huoyun Laozu. A middle-aged man's eyes showed a hot light. For him, the fourth step is like becoming an immortal.
"With this child's bones, passing through our **, it is the most promising step into the fourth step." Another person echoed.
"Old ghost. Where on earth did you pick up this child?
"Well, speaking of which, this child's coming from is also very big. I went to get the medicine this time and saw the elder himself. This child was given to me by the elder. His mother is a niece of an elder. A few months ago, his mother was killed, and his father went to seek revenge and couldn't take care of him. And his parents wanted him to become an ordinary person, so the elder gave him to me so that I could raise him well. Old Xue slowly said the origin of Gongsun Xuan.
"Ah!" These people were slightly surprised to hear that the baby's parents were actually practitioners.
"Does this child have a name? If not, I'll help him get one." Jiuyan suddenly thought that he didn't know the child's name.
"Of course, this child has a name. His name is Gongsun Xuan. All right. You guys take away your elixir and go to practice. It will take at least two years for the child to practice martial arts. At that time, we will** him together." The old man waved his hand, took out a bottle of elixir from the burden behind him and gave it to everyone.
These people all led their own elixir and left reluctantly.
Finally, a middle-aged man who left was full of cold air. He looked at the baby in the old man's arms, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. However, he never said a word. After getting the elixir, he turned around and left the hall.
After getting the elixir, the old man Xue looked at the baby, put him on the futon, and sat up to practice. He is more than 100 years old, and there are few Shouyuan left. If he can't break through in the last time, he can only regret.
Shortly after the old man closed his eyes and practiced, a figure suddenly came into the hall. It was the last man who left. As soon as he appeared, the temperature in the hall immediately dropped. He picked up the baby lying next to the old man Xue and turned away.
When the old man Xue woke up from practice, he found that the child in front of him had disappeared. He thought that it was an old man who liked the child and took him away. At that time, he didn't care. It was not until later that I learned that the child was missing. Unfortunately, by the time he knew it, his longevity was also nearing the end.
In a small sea-facing village in the north of the island, there is a stone house on the peak of the sea-facing mountain. The owner of the stone house is the only master in the village. When he was practicing this night, he suddenly heard a child crying outside the house. He opened the door and saw a crying baby lying by the door.
Looking at the baby crying in the night wind, he looked into the night for a long time before taking the baby back to his room.
