"The End" 007. (Prologue) Dilemma

Bonfire, lit in the night. From time to time, there is the crisp sound of crackling dry wood, with a rich meaty aroma, which is mellow and intoxicating.
This night of fragrant fire and light is really out of place for this cliff in a cliff with almost no trace of human beings. However, food, since ancient times, has possessed the most unique kind of magic.
The red light of the bonfire gave the calm lake a mysterious and fantastic color. At the same time, it also illuminated Qing Yan, who was devouring food beside the campfire.
I don't know what politeness means, and Qing Yan's appearance is really embarrassing. Following the old man's sitting posture, Qing Yan crossed his legs, but they moved unnaturally. A pair of hands that had obviously just been forced to be washed by the old man. There was no dust, but at this time they were covered with oil. The mouth that was biting into a large piece of cooked wild meat was also covered with oil, and at the same time, there was a deep satisfaction in the corner of the mouth. However, compared to Qing Yan, who also didn't know what laughter was, this smile, I have to say, was a bit ferocious.
As the saying goes, to get a man, you must first get his stomach! The charm of food is so magical, not to mention a beast boy like Qing Yan, who is so simple that he has no ability to think.
Obviously, just a meal has completely formatted Qing Yan's hostility! Moreover, this desire for food actually made Qingyan feel cordial to the three old men!
However, there are always some problems that need to be solved...
"This child, I dare to rely on this red fire dragon." The deep old man looked at the red fire dragon tightly protected by Qing Yan behind him, frowned, obviously helpless, and after a long time he continued, "This red fire dragon The meaning behind it is obviously important enough for us to pay attention to. However, in this hurry, with the strength of the three of us, it is really impossible to carry its huge body. However, without the red fire dragon, this disciple..."
Old man Shumo also thought deeply. Thinking about it, he stroked his silver beard for a long time and said: "This child must never be left alone here again. This time the old lunatic from the Shiquan family was also ordered to come out. If he knew about this child's cultivation seedling, maybe his madness would rise again. Crazy six relatives You guys who don't recognize it, we saw it with our own eyes. I'm afraid I'll have many nightmares if I stay here any longer!”
“But this kid has lived here for so many years, so why should he be so worried?” The old man Hongguang asked suddenly.
"Do you think that the Shiquan family will not have any news about the Qingyan Divine Gourd's escape?" The old man Shumo glanced at the rotten-headed second brother, asked in reply, and then said, "After the Shiquan family came out of the Gourd Secret Realm, Since then, they have been obsessed with the Qing Yan Divine Gourd Thief and have been keeping track of our Mugong family. This escape incident is equivalent to giving them the best opportunity. How can they ignore our strength? Let the old madman take action directly, and although our whereabouts are quite hidden, he can always guess the approximate location. Therefore, the old madman will definitely not be too far away from us now, and with his strength, he can search all the way down this valley. With his unique position, he will definitely be the focus of care. "
"So, once this child is kept, it is entirely possible that he will do a huge favor to that old lunatic Shi Quanshen," the old man Hongguang thought of the importance and murmured.
"However, the current facts are really a dilemma. Idling it like this is not an option, and right now, the Qingyan Divine Gourd is also missing. What should we do?" The deep old man said deeply with a deep frown that did not fade away.
The old man of Shumo stood up, pondered and paced back and forth. After a long time, he raised his head and said slowly: "The terrain at the bottom of the cliff is single and the area is not large. With the strength of the three of us, we spent a whole day and got nothing. It seems that this Qingyan Divine Gourd has already gained strength." With wisdom, we have gained a lot from this trip. Although this Qingyan Divine Gourd has a mysterious color, it has no real value at all. I believe that Kimiya Hiroshi will not conflict with us because of this Qingyan Divine Gourd. The current problem must be dealt with first. The problem of the child and the red fire dragon. Moreover, you must not have any negotiation with this lunatic Shi Quan Shen. "
...
"Ah..."
The deep old man wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Qing Yan's voice. He saw Qing Yan waving his hands. The meat in the middle of the meat was chewed to the point of no bones. He smiled helplessly, handed the meat to Qing Yan, and said with a smile: "Really, you little guy, you will really give us problems." There was no words all night, and the three of them were quietly thinking about countermeasures. Seeing it, the warm morning light began to cover the earth with a warm golden color.
Rhythm is the life of a city. Even a small and remote town like Lingyun City will not lose its breath of life because of its poverty. Early in the morning is the beginning of the rhythm of this city. Along with the morning light and the rising sun, vendors gradually began to sell; shops and inns also opened their doors to welcome customers. A kind of noise unique to the city began to fill the air.
With this rhythm, even this full-time inn in the city center, Yun Keju, seems to be injected with a new enthusiasm.
On the second floor of Yun Ke's residence, at the wooden table facing the window, a white-haired old man in plain robes was drawing something on the plain paper with a pen and ink. A black iron long sword was placed across the table, with three large characters deeply engraved on the hilt:
Shi Quan Shen!
