Chapter 555

Xiaofan

The old man's body was hunched, and his wide robe could not cover his skin-like body, as if a strong wind could blow him up. A crutch made of dead wood seemed to be like his master, as if it was on the verge of disintegration. When he arrived a hundred feet in front of the village, the old man slowly raised his head. This was a weather-beaten face, with the spotted old face wrinkles and gullies, his eyes were turbid and could not see any vitality, as if thousands of sharpening had wiped away all the edges and hopes in his heart...

Everyone in the village looked at the old man with vigilance. When the old man raised his head, the vigilance in everyone's eyes slowed down a little. Old Luo took Xiaofan's hand and walked in front of the old man with a slim step. Old Luo looked at the old man carefully before asking, "Fellow Taoist, I don't know what's going on here?"

"I heard that there is a place to spend my old age in peace. I wonder if it is this place?" The old man said hoarsely.

Old Luo's expression moved and he pondered for a while. He said, "Senior, we gathered here with low cultivation, which is also a place to spend our old age. I wonder if you want to live here?" Old Luo found that he could not see through the old man's cultivation. He must be a master above the second level of Tao. He naturally wanted to keep him. For Luojia Village, his highest cultivation level is only in the Heavenly Man Stage.

The old man nodded slightly, looked at the man and woman standing in the village with a turbid gaze, and his eyes fell on Xiaofan who was curiously looking at him.

"I don't know... what do you call a fellow Taoist? Is there an enemy outside?" Old Luo hesitated for a moment and asked. Seeing the old man's expression remained unchanged, Old Luo couldn't help but say: 'Fellow Taoist, don't mind, Luojia Village cannot withstand any attack from any strong man. So... for their safety, I have to find out clearly.'

"I am named Lie Di. I have been alone in my life and have not provoked others." The old man said slowly. This old man was Lie Teng who followed him! Xiaofan's words made Lie Teng feel very intimate. He urgently needed to understand the affection of his family, so he followed him here and felt the cohesion of the entire village. Lie Teng sighed in his heart that although such a village is at risk of destruction at any time, his feelings are much deeper than those disciples of those sects.

When Mr. Luo heard this, his eyes lit up. He raised his right hand and said loudly: "Children, take out the treasured wine and serve fresh barbecue to welcome the new members of our Luojia Village, Mr. Lie!!"

At this point, Mr. Luo was truly happy to accept Lie Teng. In his opinion, Luojia Village only had cultivators with low cultivation. Even ordinary strong people were lazy to kill people, so he was not afraid that Lie Teng would like to see anything here. Moreover, with the addition of the second-level master of Taoism, Luojia Village's defense has undoubtedly improved for several stages again.

"Grandpa Lie, I am Luo Fan, Grandpa Lie can call me Xiao Fan." Xiao Fan was extremely happy, and there was no barrier because of Lie Teng's wrinkles and almost ugly face.

Lie Teng smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face were even more twisted into a ball. He nodded and smiled kindly.

"Li Dawei has met Mr. Lie."

...

As Lie Teng entered Luojia Village under Xiaofan's guidance, the strong man and the female cultivator greeted each other in a friendly manner, and did not seem very unfamiliar.

As Lieten listened to Mr. Luo's introduction to the 87 cultivators in the village, smoke rose up, and the unique fragrance of fresh meat spread throughout the village as the fire was baked. If these people had not had high cultivation, they thought they had come to an ordinary village in the secular world, without intrigue, no mutual competition, and some were harmonious and laughter.

Seeing this scene, Lie Teng's turbid eyes showed a strange light. At this moment, he truly felt that while he was pursuing strength, he had lost so many things worth pursuing? A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Lie Teng's mouth. The smile fell in Xiao Fan's eyes, who had been staring at Lie Teng, but it was a little sad. Xiao Fan thought Lie Teng was thinking of something sad, so he hurriedly sat in front of Lie Teng, grabbed Lie Teng's dry old hand with his little hand, and raised his head and said, "Grandpa Lie, you have Xiao Fan, Grandpa Luo, and so many uncles and aunts now, so Grandpa Lie should not think about the sad things he had in the past."

Lie Teng turned his head slightly to look at this extremely tender face, but his eyes were filled with vitality. His bright eyes looked at Lie Teng, feeling Lie Teng's smile. Not only did the corner of his mouth grin, he couldn't help but smile. Xiao Fan scratched his head and said, "Grandpa Lie, Xiao Fan is still young now. I will protect you when Xiao Fan realizes it in the future." Seeing Lie Teng's old and weak look, Xiao Fan actually wanted to protect Lie Teng.

Lie Teng's body shook, and a warm feeling brushed across his heart. Although it was just a child's word, it made Lie Teng feel extremely comfortable. He smiled and gently stroked Xiaofan's head and said, "Then Xiaofan grow up quickly, grandpa is old, but Xiaofan is still young and has a lot of time to realize the truth."

"Grandpa Lie is not old. I heard from my grandfather that he said that he would almost be eternal in the end. Therefore, Grandpa Lie must seize the time to realize the truth. At that time, Xiaofan will be able to realize the truth with Grandpa Lie and grandfather." Xiaofan said with a smile.

"Xiaofan, from now on, you should call Grandpa Lie the grandfather. Grandpa Lie is much older than Grandpa." Old Luo smiled and said, he didn't know how old Lie Teng was, but his cultivation level was higher than him, which meant that he had experienced more years than him! Moreover, in the cultivation world, strength is the most respected, and it would not be an exaggeration for Mr. Luo to call Lie Teng a senior.

Fan lowered his head and pretended to be thinking, then grinned and raised his head to look at Lie Teng and shouted intimately: "Grandpa"

"Yeah!" Lie Teng nodded.

"Okay! Xiaofan will have two grandfathers in the future, two grandfathers who love Xiaofan!" Xiaofan stood up and said loudly with some dancing hands. The villagers who were busy with dinner all smiled, and some even joked: "Then from now on, the heart of the spirit beast will be eaten for Xiaofan and practice early."

Half an hour later.

Lie Teng and the 89 people from Luojia Village were together, tasting fresh barbecue and good wine. The dining table was filled with laughter and the surrounding mountains. Everyone was talking and laughing. Xiao Fan held a thigh in his hand and bit his face with oil stains. He sometimes took a sip of the strong wine. Whether he was hungry or what, he did not speak, but his eyes were back and forth on everyone, and there was an innocent smile on his lips.

"You guys say, will Xiaofan become a famous enlightened person in the Forgotten Realm in the future?"

"Of course it can? In the future, Xiaofan will also step on Lei Tian, ​​the first genius of the Thunder God Sect in the Thunder Region..."

Before the big man finished speaking, Mr. Luo's expression changed and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop talking, be careful that disaster will come from the mouth."

Li Dawei also reacted, his face turned red, scratched his head, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, I said something vague for a moment."

Mr. Luo nodded slightly, looked around, and whispered: "It's better to say less of this. If you don't worry about ten thousand, just be afraid of something."

This unintentional act did not affect everyone's interest. After taking a sip of the strong wine, Xiaofan smiled and said with a red smile: "Xiaofan will be a person who stands tall in the future. At that time, Xiaofan will be able to protect Luojia Village. There are enough elixirs for uncles and aunts to practice."

The villagers looked at each other with a far-fetched expression, showing a stiff smile, nodding one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange. The old meat on Old Luo's face was a little jumping. After drinking the strong wine, he didn't say anything. Lie Teng quietly sipped the strong wine, his face full of smiles, making the face full of ravines appear more.

Fan felt the atmosphere was strange, and the redness on his little face quickly faded away. It seemed that there was no innocence on his face in an instant. He drank a big gulp of wine, and his eyes were filled with mist and said, "Grandpa, uncle, great god, Xiaofan actually knows that he can't practice. Last time, an old man in Lei Zhen City said that Xiaofan's qualifications are ordinary and difficult to realize." As he said that, rolling tears flowed out of Xiaofan's eyes. He didn't dare to look at anyone, but just stared at the big bowl he drank.

"Nothing!! Who is the immortal saying that Xiaofan cannot practice? Xiaofan, don't believe others' words easily!" Mr. Luo felt ache in his heart when he saw this and quickly shouted in a low voice.

"Yes, why can't Xiaofan practice? Xiaofan is so young and will definitely be able to realize the truth after eating more hearts." Li Dawei also continued to comfort Xiaofan.

Everyone couldn't bear it and scolded the old man in a few words. Xiaofan's tears became even more. He choked and said, "Actually, Xiaofan asked more than just an old man. Every time he went to Lei Zhen City, Xiaofan asked, they all said that Xiaofan could not realize the truth. Xiaofan knew that his grandfather and uncle were for Xiaofan's good, but Xiaofan was no longer young, and he was already nine years old. An old man said that ordinary people were able to kill spirit beasts at the age of nine, but Xiaofan still couldn't do anything."

Everyone's expressions changed, and their eyes looked at Xiaofan more surprised. They didn't even realize that Xiaofan already knew everything. Judging from Xiaofan's qualifications, it would be difficult for him to embark on the road to enlightenment. If Xiaofan was born under a major force, he could still realize the truth even if his qualifications were poor. However, at this time he was just in the small village at the bottom of the Forgotten Realm, his life would be difficult, let alone using elixirs to force his cultivation to pile up.

Old Luo's face was a little ferocious. He drank a large bowl of strong wine in one sip and whispered: "Xiaofan, remember, no matter what, grandpa will let you practice and enlighten you, even if you have fought for this life!!"

Lie Teng picked up the big bowl, took a sip of the liquor, and slowly said, "Xiaofan, what if you can't realize the truth? What you have now is something that many people who realize the truth cannot get. You have grandpa, you have uncle, and you have aunts! It's enough for you to have them, isn't it?"

"Well! So, Xiaofan needs to grow up faster. Xiaofan doesn't believe it because he cannot practice qualifications! Even if he cannot realize the truth, Xiaofan must go on firmly! Because Xiaofan wants to protect his relatives!!" Xiaofan clenched his fists and said firmly. At this moment, everyone was not treating Xiaofan as an innocent child.
