Fengyuan Country, Long Province, west of Nan Dan County, Inkstone Valley.
"Ah? Why does my head hurt so much? "
With a soft groan, Luo Ping slowly raised his head. However, his eyes were slightly squinted and his vision was blurry.
"Where is this?"
As he slowly opened his eyes, his surroundings gradually became clear.
All he could see were tall trees that reached into the clouds. The trunks of the trees had spiral patterns from the bottom to the top. The leaves were as black as ink.
These leaves were connected together, blocking half of the space above Luo Ping's head. The other half was still enough for him to see the light of the sun.
"Iron Spiral Tree? Isn't this a plant unique to Inkstone Valley? Why am I here? Let me think … "
"Right, I originally came out to look for black ink stones. However, after searching for four hours, I still couldn't find any. I originally wanted to climb over a mountain to get to the other side, but I lost my footing and fell down."
Thinking of this, Luo Ping once again turned his gaze towards the direction of the light.
A small mountain that was only a hundred feet tall stood there. There were some rocks on the mountain that extended all the way to his side.
"Looks like I really fell down from here. I'm so useless. I'm already twelve years old and I still haven't become a Martial Disciple. I even fell down from such a small mountain when I came out to dig for black ink stones. Ah … God, you're too unfair. "
Men don't cry easily, only when they're deeply hurt.
Thinking of all the things that he had experienced in the past ten years, Luo Ping could no longer suppress his emotions. He immediately shouted towards the sky.
Just like this, he shouted and shouted until he fell asleep. Even though he was mentally and physically exhausted, he still slept soundly.
When he woke up again, he found that the sky had already darkened.
"No, it's already dark. I have to go back. It's not safe to stay here. If I encounter a wild beast, I'll be in trouble."
When he slowly got up, he found that his entire body was sore and there was a wound on his leg that was bleeding.
Although he couldn't cultivate, he never stopped training his body. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just a wound on his leg.
"Looks like I need to bandage the wound. Otherwise, the smell of blood will attract wild beasts."
Unfortunately, he didn't have anything with him, so he could only tear a piece of cloth from his clothes and bandage it first. He would deal with it carefully when he got back.
When Luo Ping finished bandaging his leg and was about to leave, he heard a rustling sound coming from afar. It was obvious that something was approaching him.
At this time, there was nothing but wild beasts. It was too late to hide now, so he did not hesitate to take out all of his weapons.
"Even if it's a wild beast, I won't back down. Rather than waiting for death, I might as well fight. Who knows, maybe I'll have a chance to live."
The reason why he thought this way was because he didn't need to use his physical strength. Furthermore, the forest was flat ground. As long as he lured the wild beasts into the forest, he still had a chance. Furthermore, the newly bought weapon made him feel very relieved.
In just a moment, Luo Ping was able to clearly see the enemy in front of him. It was actually a wild boar that was five feet tall and ten feet long.
Two fangs extended from the corners of the wild boar's mouth, shining brightly at him. The gray hair on the wild boar's body stood up, as if it was about to attack.
Roar! Roar!
After the wild boar roared twice, it pounced on Luo Ping like an arrow released from a bow.
Seeing that it was about to reach him, Luo Ping moved his feet, using a strange footwork to dodge the attack. Then, without hesitation, he took out the "Lotus Dagger" and stabbed the wild boar's eyes. The wild boar's body was rough and thick, so only its eyes could hurt it.
"Puff!" The wild boar was caught off guard, and one of its eyes was already dripping with blood. Having no time to think, Luo Ping immediately turned around and ran towards the forest.
At this time, the wild boar was also enraged and chased after him. After running for about ten feet, Luo Ping quickly turned around, took out an iron cylinder, and pulled the fuse behind it with all his strength. Nearly a hundred glittering flying nails shot out. Then, without looking at the result, he once again changed direction and dashed away.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of flesh being pierced continuously came from the wild boar's body. In the blink of an eye, the front half of the wild boar's body was covered with flying nails, and its forward speed also came to a halt.
Roar! Roar!
After the wild boar roared a few times, it once again chased after him.
But at this time, Luo Ping was standing about ten feet in front of it, waiting for it. How could the wild boar think? Seeing that its prey was in front of it, it did not hesitate to rush over.
However, just as he was about forty to fifty feet away, he suddenly fell to the ground. Furthermore, his two front limbs had been neatly cut off and fell to the ground.
The wild boar finally let out a deafening roar. Then, it lay on the ground, unable to move.
Seeing this scene, Luo Ping finally felt relieved.
Previously, taking advantage of the time when the wild boar was blocked by the flying nails, he quickly wrapped his other weapon, the "Cut Throat Silk", between two trees, hoping that the wild boar would not be smart enough to make a sharp turn, so he could use this to seriously injure it. Now, it seemed that this method was very clear.
Now that the wild boar did not have the advantage of taking the initiative to attack, it could only be slaughtered. However, Luo Ping did not relax his vigilance. He first took out the "Left and Right Arrow", and once again shot at the wild boar.
Then, he took out a short knife and went forward to slash at the wild boar. However, the wild boar's skin and flesh were too hard. With Luo Ping's strength, the wild boar was completely dead after slashing for half an hour.
At this time, he was once again exhausted, and had to sit down to rest. Looking at the blood all over his body, he did not care, only a firm belief.
"No matter what, I will embark on the path of martial arts and become the strongest. I will not let anyone bully me, even if it is a wild beast."
After resting for a while, feeling that his strength had recovered, Luo Ping once again walked to the periphery of the valley. Because during the day, he had climbed over a small mountain to reach the forest. Now that his leg was injured, he could not climb the mountain again. He could only take a long detour and leave from the junction between the forest and the valley.
"I guess I won't be able to return home tonight. I can only go to the periphery of the valley and think of a way."
In this way, Luo Ping walked for four hours before reaching the entrance of the valley. Before he had time to be happy, he immediately made defensive preparations again.
It turned out that under the moonlight, there was a grey-haired old man sitting cross-legged in front of him. His robe was already tattered and dirty.
There was a gourd hanging from his waist, but he did not know what it contained. At this moment, the old man's back was facing him. Suddenly, he reached out and picked up the gourd to drink.
"Haha, good wine, good wine. Little doll, why are you here alone in the middle of the night?"
After drinking for a while, the old man still did not turn around, but asked about Luo Ping's situation.
"Why should I tell you? Why did an old man like you come here so late at night instead of staying at home?"
Luo Ping did not want to answer this old man. His intuition told him that this old man was not simple. Otherwise, why would he come to the wilderness instead of dancing in the county government's square at night?
"Haha, you have character. I like it. Little doll, you are lucky to have met this poor Taoist. You should know that I have been meditating here specifically to wait for you."
"Waiting for me? I don't know you. How did you know I was in the valley? Don't tell me you want to scam me? "
Luo Ping suddenly had a terrible idea.
In recent years, there were often some old people in the county government who would lie down in the middle of the road for no reason. They would then accuse the owner of the carriage of hitting them and use this as an excuse to extort money.
Now that he saw this white-haired old man sitting here, Luo Ping thought of this situation.
"What, little brat, you dare to associate me with those people? You … you … you really have no taste."
The old man suddenly stood up and turned around. He was so angry that his beard was blowing and his eyes were glaring.
At this moment, Luo Ping finally saw the old man's face clearly. Although his hair was gray, the skin on his face was as smooth as a baby's. At this moment, his face was flushed with anger.
His long beard reached his chest, but it was covered with dust and wine. His deep eyes were as clear as water, as if they could see through people's hearts.
Luo Ping looked at him and felt that he had no secrets to hide. However, he would not compromise and did not care about the old man's reprimand.
。
"Are you a human or a ghost? Don't come near me. Otherwise, you will die very miserably, just like …"
"Just like that wild boar from before, right?"
The old man did not wait for him to finish and interrupted him.
"How do you know?"
Luo Ping finally showed an astonished expression. He felt that this old man was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Haha, you don't need to know how I know. You just need to know that I am a good person and will soon be your master."
"How about it, little doll? Are you willing to take me as your master? If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life. "
The old man drank a few more mouthfuls of wine. He actually circled around Luo Ping and sized him up.
His mouth kept muttering words like 'Not bad, not bad at all', 'What a good seedling', 'Rarely seen in ten thousand years'.
Hearing the old man's words, Luo Ping felt relieved.
"So the old man was waiting for me here to take me as his disciple. It seems that there is no danger. Otherwise, he would have already attacked me."
"Although I don't know what level of martial artist he is, he seems to be older than Grandfather. He shouldn't be too weak. But what exactly does he see in me that he wants to take me as his disciple? I can't cultivate. No, I must ask clearly. "
Luo Ping was indeed smart. In the blink of an eye, he had figured out many problems.
"Stop, stop circling around. If you want me to take you as my master, you have to tell me what level of martial artist you are. Also, you have to tell me about your origin. I can't just take a person of unknown origin as my master for no reason, right?"
Hearing this, the old man stopped circling around. However, he jumped around and said, "So you intend to take me as your master. Well, I will tell you that your master is not a martial artist …"
"Not a martial artist? You dare to take me as your disciple if you are not a martial artist? Old man, are you out of your mind? "Before the old man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Ping.
He now felt that this old man was either out of his mind or an empty nest old man who had been lonely for too long. He was simply looking for something to talk about.
Who didn't know that the Hong Tian Continent was a place where martial arts were respected and strength reigned supreme? Those who could become a high level martial artist were bound to be revered by countless people.
And if one was unable to cultivate, they could only be ordinary people for the rest of their lives, living the life of an ordinary person.
He originally thought that this crazy old man was a hidden high level martial artist. Who would have thought that he was actually an unreliable loafer.
After saying this, Luo Ping planned to leave without looking back. However, before he could take two steps, he found that his body was bound, unable to take another step.
