Above the source of Tao

Three days later...

Inside the Zuixian Tower.

The storyteller on the stage was still telling the strange things that happened in the past few days, and the diners in the audience listened with great interest.

At the round wooden table in the southwest corner of the second-floor restaurant, a group of children in their teens were sitting, one of them was sitting in the main seat facing north and south. The main seat was occupied by a boy about ten years old.

The boy was fanning himself with a fan in his hand, dressed in rich clothes. He was leaning back in a chair, squinting his eyes as he listened to the storyteller telling the story of Zhou and Lin's Kaiyuan bones, with a smug smile on his face. Next to his chair was a large yellow dog, panting with its tongue hanging out.

The lackey at the side said flatteringly, "Nowadays, everyone in Shanglin City knows that the young master's eldest brother has opened his Yuangu and his life span has exceeded his limit. From now on, people in this world can only look up to him."

At this time, the others around him also echoed. The Zhou Mansion was already a large family business in Shanglin City. The courtyard of the Zhou Mansion was even more luxurious than the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Now there was a genius boy in the mansion, and the future was limitless.

Zhou Yuanba took out several dozen taels of silver from his pocket, threw them on the table and said, "Hahaha, this is a reward for you."

"Thank you, Master."

As they spoke, the men divided up the silver coins, each with a flattering smile on their face.

Soon, a man ran into the restaurant, looked around, and walked towards the stairs to the second floor. He walked up to Zhou Yuanba, panting, took a sip of tea and said

"Master, I saw the boy from the Yun family in the east of the city."

Ok?

Zhou Yuanba looked at the visitor with a puzzled look, then said with a happy expression

"Really? Where did you see it?"

After saying that, Zhou Yuanba touched the big yellow dog beside him with his left hand and showed a playful smile.

"Take a few people with you and bring that little creature over to me. I want to have some fun with him."

Humph...

That person walked out of the restaurant with a few people...

Before a stick of incense...

Yun Changan's home...

Finally the bath was over, Yun Changan was panting, sweat dripping from his head, wiping the sweat with his hands. Three more times, and the bath would be over.

After soaking in the medicinal soup for a few days, Yun Changan clearly felt the changes in his body. He was stronger than before, and his body was not as skinny as before. The outline of his muscles could be clearly seen. He felt full of strength.

After bathing, he tried to lift the village millstone. He lifted it effortlessly and had a general sense of the five elements. This was unimaginable before.

Fairy Shichen once told him that bathing in this skin-tendon and bone-refining soup can make your body very strong and powerful, and you can lift several hundred kilograms. However, now he can only lift a maximum of 100 kilograms, and he needs to persist in this bath.

For a ten-year-old child, it was a miracle.

"This skin-tendering and bone-refining soup is truly extraordinary. However, the pain is unbearable for ordinary people."

Yun Chang'an nodded, a look of delight on his face.

goo goo...

At this time, Yun Changan's stomach growled.

Ever since taking this bath, Yun Changan's appetite has increased. Normally, three buns a day would be enough for him, but now he still doesn't feel full even after eating nine buns a day.

"Forget it, let's go get something to eat first."

Yun Chang'an took some money and went to a bun shop in the east of the city. He ordered two baskets of big buns and a bowl of corn soup and started eating.

At this time, Zhou Yuanba's men came over and sat beside Yun Chang'an's table. They stared at Yun Chang'an, who was holding a bun in one hand and chewing it in his mouth, with an amusement on their faces.

"My young master wants to treat you to a meal."

Yun Changan was eating a bun while looking up and asking in confusion, "Young Master? What Young Master? I don't know any Young Master, and I won't go."

"My Master Zhou invites you to dinner because he thinks highly of you. Please don't be ungrateful."

When he heard it was Young Master Zhou, he was a little confused at first, because he had never known any Young Master Zhou. Then, he suddenly realized and felt a little angry, thinking that this Young Master Zhou must be the murderer who beat my grandfather to death.

Thinking of this, he swallowed the bun in his mouth and said, "I'll go with you."

I saw someone saying, "That's right, you are smart."

There was a flash of disdain in the eyes of the group of people. It turned out that this guy was also a flatterer. When they heard that it was Master Zhou, they hurried over.

Thinking of this, the group of people felt even more disdainful of Yun Chang'an.

After half an incense stick...

Those people then led Yun Chang'an into the restaurant.

Before Zhou Yuanba could even open his mouth to speak, Yun Changan asked with a cold look in his eyes, "Are you the one who had my grandfather severely injured?"

Zhou Yuanba was still lying on the chair, looking at Yun Changan with squinted eyes and said, "Humph, your grandfather was sneaking around in my study that day, and I happened to find him. He actually broke my golden glazed cup. It was obvious that he wanted to steal something."

"You fart!"

Yun Changan clenched his fists and stared at Zhou Yuanba with resentment. Grandpa was a loyal and enthusiastic person. Whenever there was a problem in the village, he would always be the first to rush forward to help everyone solve it. How could he be the kind of person who steals?

"Why, you still want to beat me? In that case, I'm in a good mood today. As long as you can beat my dog, I'll let you go."

After saying that, without waiting for Yun Chang'an to answer, he ordered the big yellow dog beside him to go forward and bite him.

woof woof...

The people behind Zhou Yuanba also laughed. This yellow dog was the young master's favorite pet. It was usually fed with raw meat of top-quality mountain elk. It had a ferocious temperament and was more than capable of dealing with a child.

Instantly, the big yellow dog rushed up without a word, opened its mouth wide and bared its fangs, wanting to bite him. Yun Changan clenched his fists and threw them hard, throwing the yellow dog aside.

He shouted loudly, "You beast! How dare you!" The yellow dog Ao barked, jumped up from the ground, shook his body, and tried to pounce on Yun Chang'an again. At this time, before the yellow dog could come forward, Yun Chang'an took a step forward and ran towards it with his fist raised. He made a fist with his right hand and punched the yellow dog. With the other hand, he opened his five fingers and pressed on the yellow dog's head, pinning the yellow dog to the ground. The man and the dog lay on the ground and started to fight.

Punching the yellow dog again and again, after hitting him more than a dozen times, he was a little exhausted, and seeing this, the yellow dog took advantage of Yun Chang'an's breathing time and bit Yun Chang'an's right arm.

Yun Chang'an stood up immediately in pain and wanted to shake it off, but the beast stuck to Yun Chang'an like a dog-skin plaster and could not be shaken off no matter how hard he tried.

"Good! Dahuang did a great job, bite him to death!" Zhou Yuanba had already stood on the dining table, waving the fan in his hand excitedly, and the group of lackeys were also shouting excitedly.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Yun Chang'an was so anxious that he began to bite the yellow dog's abdomen with his teeth. In an instant, the big yellow dog loosened its mouth in pain, rolled on the ground, took a few steps back, and whimpered.

Yun Chang'an's right arm was bitten and bleeding. He stared at the big yellow dog with an angry face.

I thought that it would not work. This big yellow dog was really ferocious. I didn't have enough physical strength now. It would be a bad idea to fight it with force.

After a few breaths, Yun Changan suddenly remembered that there was a short knife tied in his trouser leg. This knife was exactly what he had brought out from the cave under the cliff a few days ago. He had been carrying this short knife with him since he brought it out of the cave, just for self-defense. Now was the right time to use it for self-defense.

Seeing that Yun Chang'an was stunned, the yellow dog was about to pounce on him again.

"Beast! Damn it!"

As he spoke, he bent down and pulled out the dagger from his left leg.

This short knife has a two-inch handle and a four-inch blade. One side is sharp, and the tip is pointed and slightly curved.

Seeing the yellow dog rushing towards him, Yun Changan thrust his left hand forward, and the timing was just right, stabbing the big yellow dog in the neck. The big yellow dog suddenly fell to the ground in a slump, and died.

Pah! Yun Changan spat out the dog hair in his mouth.

"How dare you kill my dog! Come on, beat him to death!" Zhou Yuanba was vindictive at this time and shouted loudly to the people around him.

Zhou Yuanba rushed forward first and took advantage of Yun Chang'an's weakness to beat him.

"Rebellious son, stop it!"

I saw a man coming down the stairs and shouting loudly.

That person was Zhou Yuanba's father, Zhou Ying, the head of the Zhou family. He was wearing a light blue brocade robe, and behind him were several people, including the city lord Lin Gujun, his youngest daughter Lin Yuaner, and Zhou Yuanxiong, the eldest son of the Zhou family.

These people were originally talking in the restaurant about the immortal coming to recruit disciples in three days. When they heard the sound of fighting outside, they came out to take a look. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be their youngest son beating up someone else.

So he came down angrily.

When Zhou Yuanba heard a familiar voice, he trembled all over, and quickly ordered his men to stop, then turned around and said tremblingly.

"father."

Although Zhou Yuanba appears to be somewhat overbearing and domineering outside, in his heart he is most afraid of his father.

"You rebellious son, how dare you commit a crime in public! Go back home and I will teach you a lesson when I get back." A hand hit Zhou Yuanba hard in the face.

"Wait, stay here. You were the one who fought fiercely just now. I have something to ask you." Lin Gujun waved his hand and pointed, keeping one of them.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuanba covered his face and wanted to say something, but seeing his father's angry expression, he dared not speak. He just ran out of the restaurant in a panic with his men.

"Someone, go find a doctor quickly." Lin Gujun said.

Then I asked the person who stayed behind and found out what happened.

"It's him!" Lin Yuan'er moved forward and said inwardly when she saw the person lying in a pool of blood.

About a year and a half ago.

Lin Yuan'er secretly ran away from the City Lord's Mansion to play because she was too playful. She was playing by the moat and accidentally fell into the river. She was about to drown in the water. At this time, he broke into her world like a ray of light in the darkness and saved her with all his might. When Lin Yuan'er woke up, she was already in her home, but she didn't see the man who saved her. However, that face was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Today, I recognized him the moment I saw him.
