Lin Xuan took a closer look and found that it was actually a seven or eight-year-old girl. Her body was thin and her skin was sallow. She looked like she had been malnourished for a long time and there were some scars on her arms.
In the current chaotic Chu Zhou City, this kind of homeless and starving orphan was not rare.
But what made Lin Xuan feel strange was that when he first saw the little girl, he actually felt a faint sense of fear. This fear had nothing to do with strength, it was a very mysterious feeling in his heart.
Lin Xuan curiously activated his luck observation divine ability and carefully looked at the little girl.
"Eh! This … "
He was surprised to find that the little girl's entire body was wrapped in a ball of black luck. Above her head, the black luck had already condensed into a huge ocean that covered a radius of several thousand meters.
Moreover, this black luck was not an external transformation, it was spontaneously produced from her thin and weak body.
The surrounding villagers, because they were too close to the little girl, the faint luck above their heads was already contaminated by the black. It seemed that this little girl was not an exaggeration to call her a calamity star.
"This is the legendary Body of Disaster!"
Lin Xuan's heart was moved as his eyes lit up slightly.
Since ancient times, there were all kinds of strange physiques in this world, but the Body of Disaster was the most peculiar one.
Lin Xuan had once seen a record of the Body of Disaster in an ancient record. It was said that people with this physique were born with luck path dao marks and could continuously produce bad luck. Anyone who got close to such a person would not have a good ending. However, their fate was extremely strong and no one dared to provoke them.
"Sir, I wonder what you need from us? This lowly one is the village chief and will do my best to satisfy sir's request. "
A middle-aged man wearing a long robe knelt a few steps forward and said to Lin Xuan in a trembling voice. Intimidated by Lin Xuan's power, his forehead was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale.
"No need."
Lin Xuan waved his hand and pointed at the little girl. "Who is she? Why are you chasing her away?"
The middle-aged village chief said with a bitter face, "Sir, you don't know, but this woman is a well known star of calamity. She carries an ominous aura around her. Wherever she goes, there will be disasters. Thousands of people have been killed by her. Even wild beasts don't dare to eat her. Everyone within a hundred miles knows about her! In order to save our lives, we had no choice but to chase her away. "
"No, it wasn't me. I didn't hurt anyone …" The little girl shook her head in panic. She was about to cry, looking very pitiful.
Lin Xuan jumped off his mount and slowly walked towards the little girl. He crouched down and asked with a warm smile, "What's your name?"
The young girl looked at Lin Xuan with fear in her eyes and said timidly in a tender voice, "My, my name is Qing Zhi."
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person."
Lin Xuan smiled and asked, "Qing Zhi, where's your family?"
Qing Zhi whispered, "They were all eaten by wild beasts."
Rumble — —
A light sound came from the little girl's stomach.
Lin Xuan smiled and asked, "Are you willing to come with me? I can let you fill your stomach so you don't have to starve anymore. "
The little girl was stunned for a moment. Her dirty little face showed some hesitation. When she heard that she could fill her stomach, she couldn't help but show some hope in her eyes.
However, she had been wandering the world since she was young and suffered a lot. She was still wary of Lin Xuan, a stranger.
At this time, the middle-aged village chief's eyes flashed and he advised, "Qing Zhi, this kind sir is willing to take you in. This is your great fortune! This sir looks like a powerful martial artist. He's definitely not a bad person. If you follow him, you won't have to suffer anymore. No one will dare to bully you. Hurry up and kowtow to thank him! "
Qing Zhi looked around and found that everyone was looking at her with envy. She hesitated for a moment and looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Sir, I, I'm willing to go with you."
"Alright, get up."
Lin Xuan helped the little girl up and held her little hand as they turned and left.
"Sir!" The village chief knelt on the ground and braced himself, "This lowly one's son is thirteen years old this year. He especially loves martial arts. I don't know if sir can take him with you. This lowly one doesn't expect you to take him as a disciple. Even if he serves you as a servant, it's fine …"
"I don't need anyone to serve me."
Lin Xuan said without looking back. He slowly walked away with Qing Zhi.
The village chief sighed in disappointment.
"That jinx is so lucky! A martial artist actually took a fancy to her! "
"Yes! That sir is riding a ferocious beast, right? It's so scary! He must be a big shot … "
Seeing that Lin Xuan had walked away, the villagers gradually stood up and whispered among themselves.
The sky was about to darken. Dark clouds covered the sky and the faint sound of thunder could be heard. It was about to rain.
Lin Xuan didn't go far with the little girl. They temporarily stopped at a rundown temple a few miles away from the village.
He went out for a stroll and quickly returned with a wild boar. After washing and skinning it, he cut off a fat hind leg, sprinkled some seasoning on it, and roasted it on a fire rack.
In a short while, an enticing meat aroma filled the air. The little girl, Qing Zhi, was drooling at the side.
After roasting it, Lin Xuan handed over the whole boar leg.
Qing Zhi hesitated for a moment. She looked like she wanted to accept it but didn't dare to.
"Eat." Lin Xuan smiled.
Qing Zhi looked at Lin Xuan before taking it and wolfing it down. As he ate the fragrant pork leg, his wariness towards Lin Xuan lessened.
Lin Xuan looked at the girl who was wolfing down the boar leg and smiled slightly.
The Body of Disaster was a true jinx to everyone. Whoever encountered it would be unlucky.
With the power of Qing Zhi's bad luck now, even if someone was within five miles of her, they would be affected by it. Even some martial arts experts might not be able to avoid it. It was extremely terrifying.
Lin Xuan still remembered that a year ago, Zhuo Yichen of the Keelung Sect had used a Bad Luck Talisman to deal with him. That talisman could turn a person's luck into bad luck.
Qing Zhi's Body of Disaster was equivalent to an endless supply of Bad Luck Talismans. She was simply a human-shaped killing machine.
However, Lin Xuan wasn't afraid at all.
Because all his martial arts fate had been stored in the Spiritual Rhino's Horn, the Bad Luck Talisman couldn't do anything to him. Now, Qing Zhi's Body of Disaster also couldn't do anything to him.
In this world, he might be the only one who could get close to Qing Zhi.
If he used it well, this could become one of his trump cards. It was really a pleasant surprise.
The sky completely darkened and it started to rain heavily outside.
Through the door of the ruined temple, Lin Xuan saw a group of cavalrymen in messy armor galloping on the road in the rain outside.
This was a typical group of bandits. When they passed by the small village, the group of horses paused for a moment before charging into the small village. Soon after, a wave of miserable screams and pleas for mercy sounded, accompanied by waves of coarse and evil laughter.
Qing Zhi looked outside in horror and couldn't help but lean closer to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan knew that Qing Zhi had a lot to do with the calamity in the small village.
He picked up a stone, gathered strength in his palm, and threw it out fiercely.
Whoosh —
The stone flew through the air with an ear-piercing sound. It flew a thousand meters and accurately hit a bandit who had drawn his sword to kill someone.
Bang!
There was an explosion!
The burly body of the bandit leader instantly exploded into pieces of flesh that filled the sky, and blood splattered everywhere.
"First Master!"
"Who did this? Come out! "
The bandits couldn't help but be shocked and angry. They drew their swords and looked around.
"Get out if you don't want to die!"
A mighty voice rang out from all directions, causing the entire world to buzz and tremble.
The bandits' expressions couldn't help but change greatly. They understood that they had encountered an expert. After looking at each other for a while, they all hurriedly mounted their horses and fled out of the small village, rushing into the curtain of rain with a rumbling sound.
The villagers who had survived the calamity all walked out of their houses and worshipped the gods and buddhas in the sky, shedding tears of gratitude.
In the ruined temple, Qing Zhi stopped eating meat. Her dirty little face looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief. Her eyes were filled with shock and worship.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Do you want to learn martial arts?"
Qing Zhi hesitated for a moment. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up, and she nodded her head heavily.
She looked like she was seven or eight years old, but in reality, she was only ten years old because she had been cold, hungry, and malnourished for a long time.
She had been wandering outside since she was six years old, begging everywhere. She was hungry and full, and she often fought with wild dogs for food. She had been treated coldly and bullied by the people of the world.
She had seen many powerful martial artists kill and tear apart tigers and leopards.
In her young heart, she had also fantasized that if she became that strong, perhaps she wouldn't be bullied anymore, and she wouldn't have to go hungry anymore.
Now that she heard that she could learn martial arts from this expert, her heart was filled with hope.
"Kneel down and acknowledge me as your master," Lin Xuan said.
"Mas … Master."
Qing Zhi was stunned for a moment. She clumsily kowtowed to Lin Xuan, confusedly acknowledging him as her master.
Lin Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Get up and eat first. There's no rush to learn martial arts. There's plenty of time in the future."
"Okay."
Qing Zhi smiled innocently. She hugged the pig leg and continued to wolf down her food. Her big eyes looked at Lin Xuan from time to time, as if she was afraid that this master would abandon her and run away.
… …
Northern Wilderness, in a side hall of the Magic Lotus Sect.
A few groups of martial artists sat in their seats and looked at the door from time to time. Their faces were filled with anxiety, as if they were waiting for someone. Some of them walked around impatiently, their faces filled with anger.
"Elder Wu, when will your Lord Lin see us? We've already waited for three days. How long more do we have to wait? "A dignified elder with a gloomy face said in a deep voice.
Wu Huan said indifferently, "Sorry! Our Sect Leader has been very busy recently. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer! If you don't want to wait, you can come back another day. "
"You!"
The old man was so angry that he almost choked. "Is this how your Saint Lotus Dao treats your guests?"
Wu Huan laughed coldly. "Haha! That depends on what kind of guests they are! If they're important guests, the Divine Lotus Sect will naturally welcome them. If they're bad guests, we're already giving you face by not chasing you out! "
The elder's expression changed. In the end, he didn't dare to do anything. He snorted and kept quiet.
This elder was the Chief Steward of the Daqian Dynasty's King Huan Residence, Zhou Jing.
He came to the Northern Wilderness Magic Lotus Sect to ask for the captive Crown Prince Yu Changfeng.
King Huan Residence wasn't the only one who came. Sword Maste's Lian Shisan, Chaos Temple's Xie Jian, Lu Chan and the rest came as well.
However, other than Zhou Jing's overbearing attitude, both Lian Shisan and Xie Jian were relatively restrained.
