My Taoist Companion Thumb Demon

As night fell and the cold wind howled, the teenagers hid in the grotto and huddled together to keep each other warm.

Ye Yan leaned against Ye Lin's side, her stomach growling.

"Brother Lin, I'm hungry." He licked his lips.

Ye Lin touched his head. "Be patient, let's talk after dawn."

"We're not..." Ye Yan touched the storage ring on Ye Lin's finger.

"Not right." Ye Lin refused cruelly.

The night before leaving the village, he made a lot of dry food and put it in the storage ring.If there was no matter of clearing the burden on the cliff, everyone would bring dry food, and he could take out food from the storage ring while no one was paying attention, but now, everyone lightened the burden, and there was no surplus food, so they could only hunt and gather wild fruits.In this case, if he took out the food, it would definitely attract suspicion.

Ye Yan was helpless, took out the bamboo tube on her waist, and drank water to satisfy her hunger.After a while, he asked softly: "Brother, is... Mr. Su helped us?"

After the bamboo raft entered the river, it was almost overturned by the turbulent waves. When they were desperate, the weather suddenly calmed down. When they reached the other side, the river rolled again.If it is not God's help, how to explain this abnormality?

"...Mmm." Ye Lin responded.

"Alas—" Ye Yan sighed.Only two days after he left the village, he began to miss him, missing the days when Mr. Su was around.Mr. Su not only treats people gently, but also teaches them a lot of things. The food he cooks is full of flavor and taste, which is endless aftertaste. What surprised him the most is that Mr. Su can sew clothes.

That day, when he was chasing a prey on the mountain, the last piece of his clothes was torn off by a branch, and he returned home blushing, staring at the big hole at the buttocks, with a sad face.When Mr. Su saw it, he picked up the clothes and compared them, and smiled and said to help them make a few sets of clothes. He and brother Lin were shocked when they heard this.

Immortals can sew clothes?

In their impression, only women can make clothes. The clothes they wear were made by the village head's wife for them a long time ago, and they are all short now.

Mr. Su wants to make clothes for them, and the two brothers are flattered.They actively hunted down a bear, and exchanged the best linen with the aunts and aunts in the village.Mr. Su only took one day to make three sets of robes for each of them. His skills are exquisite and wonderful.

Don't mention how happy and touched you are when you wear new clothes.

Now, in addition to the clothes on their bodies, they also put two sets in the package, which is their only luggage.

The stomach growled again, Ye Yan slipped into Ye Lin's arms, and fell asleep on her stomach.

Ye Lin gently touched his younger brother's cheek, his eyes were gentle.Why doesn't he miss Mr. Su?However, there is always a banquet in the world, and their fate with Mr. Su is over.

After dawn, the teenagers came out of the cave. Their stomachs were so hungry that their eyes glowed. They searched for small animals in the forest, including hares, pheasants, mice, and even birds. Finally, they had a full meal and had the strength to continue on their way. up.

Following the direction pointed by Liu Xin, Ye Lin walked all the way south after crossing the river. After walking for two hours, the teenagers cheered when they saw the official road.

The official road is wide and flat, there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, horse riders gallop past, the horse carriages are huge, occupying half of the road arrogantly, and some skinny boys in ragged clothes like Ye Lin are huddled on the side of the road, trembling dodge.

The teenagers who came out of the mountains looked around, curiously, and looked enviously at the teenagers in Chinese clothes riding horses.

"Brother Lin, there are so many people, it's so lively." Ye Yan said excitedly.

"Are these people going to Fengtian City?" Zhang Yi asked.

"I'm so hungry, can I go to Fengtian City at noon?" Liu Ran stroked Qianbian's stomach.

"Have you brought any money?" Long Yi asked.

"Uh..." The teenagers touched their bags in unison.Although life in the mountain village does not require money, occasionally people from outside the mountain come in and exchange money with the hunters for mountain treasures. Every family has saved some money.When they left Dashan this time, the parents were afraid that their children would suffer outside, so they took all their savings with them.

Except for the two Ye family brothers.

They have no father, no mother, no money, completely forgetting that it costs money to leave the mountains.

"Brother..." Ye Yan tugged at the corner of Ye Lin's clothes with a worried look on her face.

Ye Lin didn't panic at all, he held Ye Yan's hand and said to the others: "Hurry up."

More than a dozen teenagers dressed up and set foot on the official road, walking in twos and threes, talking and laughing while walking, so lively that other people on the official road frequently looked sideways.

Ye Lin turned a blind eye to other people's scrutiny, he urged everyone to speed up their pace, only when they reached Fengtian City could they relax.

Perhaps there were many of them, and some youths who looked like civilians secretly followed behind them on the road. Unknowingly, the team grew stronger.

"Brother Lin, why are they following us?" Ye Yan asked in a low voice, puzzled.

Ye Lin glanced back and said, "Don't worry about them."

"Huh?" Although Ye Yan was confused, she listened to her elder brother.Brother said no matter what.

Ye Lin clenched Ye Yan's hand tightly with a solemn expression.

Those teenagers who followed were almost all alone, and they were in a state of distress, as if they had experienced a catastrophe of life and death.If he guessed correctly, these teenagers, like them, came from remote mountains or other areas. In order to participate in the immortal test meeting in Fengtian City, they had to go through untold hardships and narrowly escaped death.

Why are most of them alone?

There is only one possibility.

Their partners died on the road one after another.

Ye Lin raised his head and looked at the sky, with joy in his eyes.If it weren't for Mr. Su's help, they would have died in the rolling river.

When the gorgeous sunset glow gathered in the sky, the group finally saw Fengtian City.Hundreds of meters apart, the teenagers stared straight ahead, stunned by the towering majestic city wall.

Nine beams of light soared into the sky, colorful phoenixes danced in the sky, like a dream, and countless beads, like bright stars, floated outside the city wall, shining brilliantly. The youths from the mountains were too intimidated by the majestic momentum to move forward.

"Clack clack..."

The rhythmic sound of horseshoes approached from far away, and the young man in Chinese clothes on the horse held his head high and held his chest high. When he encountered civilians blocking the way, he waved his whip mercilessly and shouted to order them to make way.

The carriage was even more domineering. The coachman drove four horses, occupying most of the road, and all pedestrians gave way.

"Be careful." Ye Lin pulled Ye Yan down to avoid the waving horsewhip. Ye Yan hid in his brother's arms with a look of fear.

"Ouch!" Someone was hit by the horsewhip, and his skin was torn apart.

"What's the matter with these people? Why are they so arrogant!" Zhang Yi shouted angrily.

"Shh, they are sons of the gentry, don't provoke them." Someone came over and whispered.

Ye Lin turned his head and looked at the strange young man in Tsing Yi.This person is just one of the teenagers who followed up on the road. Compared with other people's desperation, he is dressed in plain clothes, with white face and clean ears, not like a mountain dweller.

"Children of the noble family?" Ye Yan asked curiously, "Can the children of the noble family be so domineering?"

The young man in Tsing Yi said: "The status of the nobles is higher than that of others. After the Immortal Trial Conference, they can directly become beginner disciples, and even those with extraordinary talents will be selected by the immortals as closed disciples."

"So powerful?" All the teenagers were surprised when they heard this.

"What about us?" Zhang Yi asked.

The young man in Tsing Yi shook his head and smiled wryly. "It's still a question of whether we ordinary people can pass the Immortal Trial Conference. Even if we pass, we can only become outer disciples."

"What? Why is there such a big difference?" Someone asked dissatisfied.

The youth in Tsing Yi said: "Aptitude."

"Aptitude?" The boy from the mountain village was puzzled.They don't know a few big characters, and they have no one to guide them. How do they know what qualifications are?

Ye Lin and Ye Yan understood.They practiced with Mr. Su for two months, and had a preliminary understanding of cultivating immortals.

Aptitude determines the long-term path of cultivating immortals.

The young man in Tsing Yi sighed and said: "The ancestors of the gentry are all immortals, and their descendants are naturally too many to enumerate. How can we compare?"

"Then...can we pass the Immortal Trial Conference?" Someone asked in a low voice.

The teenagers who were full of longing for Xianmen, after seeing the world for the first time, showed worried expressions, worried about their future.

Ye Lin frowned, and said in a deep voice: "We came to Fengtian City after trekking across mountains and rivers to participate in the Immortal Trial Conference. Regardless of his aptitude, as long as he enters the fairy gate, everything is possible. Aptitude is not a factor that determines everything. "

The others were startled, and looked at Ye Lin with a firm expression in surprise.

"Brother Lin is right!" Ye Yan resolutely defended her elder brother.

Zhang Yi thought for a while, and suddenly realized. "That's right! You're timid before you try it, you're not Hao Erlang from Dashan!"

The youngsters in Hening Village were full of energy and fighting spirit, which made others dumbfounded.

The young man in Tsing Yi was startled, looking at Ye Lin intently.

Ye Lin glanced at him, and said to everyone: "Let's go, it's getting dark later."

"Let's go! Find a restaurant in the city and fill your stomach first." Zhang Yi and others yelled, and the group accelerated.

The closer they got to Fengtian City, the more unbearable the suffocating oppressive feeling. Bearing the pressure, the teenagers gritted their teeth and approached, and finally reached the city gate. They raised their heads and let out admiration.

"Amazing!"

Twenty or thirty civilian youths stood at the gate of the city, shaken by the majestic aura of Fengtian City.

"Untouchable! Get out!" A shout rang out above their heads, accompanied by the frightened neighing of a horse.

"Ah—" Several teenagers were beaten to the ground by the horsewhip, rolling in pain.

Ye Lin pulled Ye Yan to quickly hide aside and escaped unharmed.

The person waving the whip was a middle-aged man. Behind him was a row of well-dressed young men riding horses. They stared proudly at the civilian youth standing at the gate of the city, with contempt on their faces.

Seeing his friends being beaten to the ground, Zhang Yi couldn't help shouting at them: "You guys are too much!"

As soon as he yelled, the others immediately showed panic expressions.Do you want to die?Actually yelling at the gentry?

The middle-aged man glanced sharply and glared fiercely at Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi's legs trembled and he instinctively hid behind Ye Lin.Ye Yan groaned secretly, raised her eyes and took a sneak peek, and sure enough the sharp eyes of the middle-aged man had already shot over.

The tall horse took two steps forward, and the other teenagers involuntarily retreated to both sides to make way. The horse stopped in front of Ye Lin, and two puffs of air came out of its nose. Yan pulls behind.

The middle-aged man held a horsewhip and looked at Ye Lin coldly.

"Untouchable, don't you want to live? Dare to disrespect the young masters of Weitian City?"

Ye Lin's hands hidden behind his back trembled slightly, but he didn't lose the battle. He straightened his back and pretended to be calm.

"We are all mortals participating in the Immortal Trial Conference, no matter whether they are nobles or ordinary people, we may be brothers from the same sect in the future, please forgive me and don't make trouble in front of the gate of Fengtian City, so as not to anger the immortals in the city."

The middle-aged man was startled, as if he had heard a big joke, he opened his mouth and laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha—you untouchable—hahaha—you actually want to become brothers with the gentry?"

Hearing this, the youths in Chinese clothes on the horse laughed ironically.

Zhang Yi and the others dared not speak out, and humiliatedly endured their ridicule.

The middle-aged man stopped laughing, his face was ferocious, and his whip was raised high. "Untouchables, do you think you will become immortal disciples after passing the Immortal Trial Conference? Dreaming! You are just handymen, don't even think about becoming immortals for the rest of your life!"

Under Ye Yan's horrified gaze, he slammed down the whip.

"Brother Rin!"

"Be careful--"

Ye Lin's face was pale, and he couldn't dodge it in time, so he could only raise his hand to block it. Suddenly, the horse neighed, and the middle-aged man was thrown off the horse with a scream.

Everyone stood there in shock, at a loss.

Ye Lin maintained a blocking posture with a look of surprise on his face.

Just now, what happened?

He blinked, trying to remember.

The middle-aged man's whip was about to hit him, and he was about to use his aura to resist it, but a dazzling light suddenly lit up on his clothes, which not only blocked the whip, but also startled the horse, throwing the middle-aged man to the ground.

Why do clothes suddenly glow?

He lowered his head and looked at the totem that was gradually disappearing on the hem of his clothes.

This is……

There are a lot of tadpole-like characters on the clothes Su Gongzi made for him?

"Rune Formation!"

A black horse stepped out from behind the youth in Chinese clothes. On the black horse was a man in a sandalwood robe. He wore a bronze mask on his face. There was no decoration on the mask, but there was a cold light on it, which made people shudder.

When he appeared, those gentry youths saluted him in unison.The middle-aged man got up from the ground with a single bone, and bowed his head humbly.

"Disturbing the Immortal Lord, a small crime deserves death." He trembled.

The man in the sandalwood robe waved his hand and didn't care. He approached Ye Lin, condescending, his eyes pierced through the mask, as sharp as knives.

The terrible coercion made the ordinary boy's legs weak, and he knelt down uncontrollably, but Ye Lin and Ye Yan stood fearlessly, stubbornly refusing to give in.

The coercion of this person is indeed frightening, but compared with Mr. Helian, it is nothing.

"Huh?" The man in the sandalwood robe was slightly surprised.These two mortal teenagers didn't kneel down and beg for mercy like other pariahs, but dared to look at him without fear of death?

Is it too long?

That being the case, they will leave their lives here.

The man in the sandalwood robe slowly drew out the knife from his waist, pointed at Ye Lin, and sneered.

"No!" Ye Yan closed her eyes in fear.

Ye Lin was sweating profusely, regretting endlessly in his heart. However, the gleaming knife would not give him time to regret. His legs seemed to be rooted, and he could not move at all, and his body was too stiff to move.

Is he going to die here today?

He has not yet participated in the Immortal Trial Conference, has not yet entered the Immortal Gate, and has not found his parents.

"You should feel extremely honored to be able to die under the knife of this fairy."

Ye Lin's eyes didn't blink, staring at the sharp knife, he swung it down unstoppably——

"boom!"

A rune formation like a net of light suddenly appeared in front of Ye Lin. Bai Sensen's knife slashed at the formation like a hard object, and was bounced back forcefully. The man in the sandalwood robe shrank his pupils and controlled his fright. horse.

Ye Lin took a few steps back sweating profusely, looking in surprise at the huge array that was shining with light.

"Who dares to ruin the good deeds of this fairy?" the man in the sandalwood robe shouted.

A golden light descended from the sky, and everyone on the official road looked up in shock, only to see a handsome man in a vermilion robe and black hair walking out of the golden light.

"Fellow Daoist, as a cultivator of immortality, is so reckless about human life, how is it different from the way of the devil?"

The ice-cold voice fell in everyone's ears, like the sound of a cold sword unsheathing, making people tremble with fear.
