Cross catastrophe

Chapter 3 Overseas There Are Imaginary Mountains
When Ye Luo woke up again, she found herself in a very strange environment.

She was covered with a soft quilt, and the ceiling above her head was painted with exquisite patterns, which were vivid and beautiful.

"Am I... dreaming?"

Ye Luo still remembered that before she passed out, it was...

Thinking of that scene, tears flowed from Ye Luo's eyes, and the silent crying made people feel even more heartbroken.

The tears streaming down the face of this immature eight-year-old child are particularly distressing.

"I... am not dreaming!"

"As much as I wish, it's a dream now."

"But it's definitely not a dream!"

Ye Luo was crying. An eight-year-old child should be innocent, but at this moment, the eight-year-old Ye Luo suddenly, as if overnight... grew up!

Although that face was still immature, there was a palpitating power in those originally pure eyes.

This power is called hatred!
Squeak!

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, Ye Luo didn't have time to wipe away the tears on his face, when he saw a little girl in a green skirt, bouncing in.

"Oh, brother, are you awake?"

When the little girl saw Ye Luo sitting there, an excited smile appeared on her face.

But the smile quickly settled down.

Because she saw the tears on Ye Luo's face.

"Little brother...why are you crying?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Yu'er heard from grandpa that only girls are allowed to cry, boys...not allowed!"

Ye Luo hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes a few times, wiped away the tears on her face, then took a deep breath, and said, "Your name is Yu'er? I'm Ye Luo! Can you tell me where this is?"

"This is Jiulong Island!" The little girl leaned over with an innocent face, and looked at Ye Luo curiously: "Grandpa said you came from the outside world, little brother, can you tell me what the outside world is like?" Does it look like it?"

At this moment, Ye Luo's heart was in chaos, how could he have the heart to coax a little sister to play?
Although he is far more mature than children of the same age, in the final analysis, he is still an eight-year-old child.

For other children of the same age, if they encountered such a thing, they would have cried and yelled endlessly.

Ye Luo took a deep breath, trying to calm down her heart.

It has to be said that Ye Luo's mentor, Mr. Taohua, has taught Ye Luo well in the past two years.

Ye Luo glanced at the little girl who called herself Yu'er, and said, "I'm a little tired now, can you let me rest for a while?"

The little girl tilted her head, glanced at Ye Luo, and seemed to feel that this little brother who was not much older than herself was a little different from other little brothers.

Talk like grown-ups,
"That's good, but you have a good rest, remember to come and play with Yu'er!"

The little girl looked at Ye Luo expectantly.

Although Ye Luo was very upset, he could only bite the bullet and nod.

Yuer got the promise and ran out happily.

In the room, Ye Luo was left alone again.

Taking a careful look at the room she was in, Ye Luo could make several judgments.

"This is a very strange place, but the owner here must be very powerful!"

"This is obviously the decoration of the guest room. It is so luxurious. What will the room where the host lives in look like?"

"Sister Yu'er just now was very curious about the outside world, which means that this place called Jiulong Island should be a place isolated from the world!"

"And I've never heard of the place Jiulong Island...so here, it's even possible, it's not in Datang anymore!"

"My home... should no longer exist, and my family members should all be dead, too."

Thinking of this, Ye Luo felt a piercing pain.

Tears flowed down again unknowingly.

This time there were no outsiders around, Ye Luo didn't rush to wipe the tears off his face, because it would make him feel better.

"I don't know how the teacher is doing now. He must be looking for me everywhere, and even... he will think that I am no longer here, so he must be very sad!"

"And Uncle Xue Yamen, he must be very sad too!"

"My Ye family has been in business for generations. From the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, I have always been kind to others. In times of famine, I broke fast to help those refugees."

"And doing business pays attention to being kind to people, and never making enemies with people."

"What kind of hatred does it take to make such a frenzied act and destroy my Ye family?"

"If I hadn't been having dinner with Uncle Xue, I'm afraid even I would..."

Ye Luo sat there, carefully analyzing every detail he could think of, and finally, he came to a conclusion that he didn't want to believe... but had to believe.

That is, this incident is very likely... related to that Hou Liang!

Only that Hou Liang has this ability!

After all, there are dozens of people in the Ye family, so it is not easy to let a big family with dozens of people be wiped out silently!
Without a large number of strong people, it is simply impossible to do it!

"Could it be that it was me who killed my family?"

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Luo was filled with anger, sadness, and more, endless self-blame.

"The teacher once said that hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Without solid evidence, don't make random guesses and wrong others casually."

"Hou Liang... If my family is really wiped out by you, don't say you are Hou Junji's distant nephew, even if you are the crown prince... I will never let you go!"

Ye Luo put away the tears on her face, got off the bed, and completely hid her fragile and immature side.

Starting today, he, Ye Luo, will transform into an avenger!
Now, it's time for him to figure out the current situation.

Ye Luo didn't know how long time had passed, but she was extremely confused about why she appeared on Kowloon Island.

Because no matter what, he shouldn't be here.

Therefore, he must first find out who brought him to Jiulong Island.

Pushing open the door, the dazzling sunlight directly shines on Ye Luo's face.

Ye Luo's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

Then, a gust of wind blew.

Ye Luo couldn't help frowning.

Because the wind carried a fishy smell that he had never smelled before in the wind!

"This smell..." Ye Luo murmured, "Why is it so similar to the smell from the fish seller in the market? Could it be... Could it be that this is on an island in the sea?"

"Hahaha, my little friend is young, but his IQ is admirable! He can actually judge the environment he is in directly from the smell of the air, amazing! Really amazing!" With hearty laughter, A tall and vigorous old man, about fifty years old, appeared there.

There seemed to be something wrong with his legs and feet, and he limped towards Xu Luo not far away.

On the body of the old man, a big bow was carried on his back, his upper body was exposed, and a tiger skin skirt was wrapped around his waist.

His skin was dark and shiny, and the muscles on his arms and legs were like horned dragons.

It seems to be full of explosive power!
The old man has long hair, loosely loose, looking very wild.

There was a bit of a smile on the sharp-edged face, but this smile also gave people a huge pressure.

Because his eyes were too sharp, when he looked at people, it was like looking at a prey.

The old man looked at Ye Luo: "How is it, little baby, how do you feel about this place?"

Ye Luo gave the old man a wary look, not to mention him, even an adult would definitely feel a little scared when seeing this old man.

The old man's aura is too full, even if he has some inconvenience in walking, it will not affect his aura at all.

"Haha, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I'm an old hunter on Kowloon Island."

"Hey, if the old man hadn't been shot in the knee by an arrow... How could Li Tang Jiangshan be like today?" The old man said seriously, not sure if he was bragging.

Walking over, stretched out a big hand like a cattail fan, and touched Ye Luo's head: "Little baby, it is your blessing to be able to come to Jiulong Island. From now on, you can stay here with peace of mind. Don't think about other things." too much!"

"If you need me for anything in the future, just call me!"

"Even though I was shot in the knee by that damn thief...but my old hunter survived the catastrophe, and my glory remains the same, hahahaha!"

With the eardrum-painful laughter, the old man walked away with the big bow on his back.

The corner of Ye Luo's mouth twitched, and there was only one impression of this old hunter in his heart: this old man looked very domineering, but in fact, he seemed a little...unreliable!
At this moment, the little girl Yu'er appeared again, and when she saw Ye Luo, she said cheerfully, "Ye Luo, let's go, I'll take you to see my grandpa!"

"Your grandfather?" Ye Luo thought of what Yu'er said when she saw her just now.

"Grandpa said you came from the outside world..."

From this point of view, Yu'er's grandfather should know something.

"That's right, my grandpa is the owner of Jiulong Island!" Yu'er was innocent, without any precautions against Ye Luo, and casually sold her grandfather's details.

"Island owner?" Ye Luo couldn't help being surprised.

The old hunter just now gave people a huge pressure. I am afraid that even his teacher, Mr. Peach Blossom, is not his opponent.

How could he be an ordinary person if he could be the owner of the island on such a person?

"That's right, grandpa is the owner of the island. He heard that you woke up and asked Yu'er to take you there to talk." The little girl came over and took Ye Luo's hand: "Let's go, why are you hesitating?"

Just as Ye Luo wanted to break free, she wanted to say whether men and women could kiss each other...but she held back.

Because he figured it out, this Yu'er had never been out of Jiulong Island, and she was so innocent that there was almost no defense between men and women.

Not to mention, she was only six or seven years old... No one taught her anything, how could she know that?
Just like that, for the first time in Ye Luo's life, she was held by a woman other than her mother's maid, and ran all the way towards an old house over there.

Ye Luo's mind far exceeds that of his peers. To be precise...he should have the wisdom of a young man of eighteen or nineteen, but his body...is only eight years old!

A full ten years behind!

This also led to the fact that it was actually difficult for him and his peers to play together.

This is also the fundamental reason why, in the academy, Ye Luo is the most favored, but those friends are still willing to surround him.

He is so mature!
Now, Ye Luo, who has experienced a huge change, has become more mature.

If we say that the original Ye Luo still has a bit of childlike innocence, and occasionally has some foolishness that only a child would have.

So now Ye Luo doesn't seem to have changed in appearance.

But all the innocence and childishness... have been completely far away from him.

Suffering makes people grow.

In Ye Luo's eyes, this Yu'er was really an ignorant and unsophisticated child.

Soon, Yu'er took Ye Luo's hand and came to this ancient house.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I brought you someone."

It wasn't until she was about to push open the door of this ancient house that Yu'er let go of Ye Luo's hand, chirping and shouting like a swallow flying happily.

Seeing Yu'er's happy appearance, Ye Luo couldn't help but think of her parents and relatives. Before yesterday, when she came home from school every day, she was as happy as her.

but……

Days like this will never happen again.

Ye Luo let out a sigh in his heart.

In the sigh, there seemed to be a mournful cry like weeping blood.

Silently!

But it's deafening!

In front of his eyes, he couldn't help reappearing that horrific scene:

The dripping blood, the burning flames, the parents who lost their breath in the flames...

It took him a long time to recover with difficulty.

But there were already tears in his eyes.

After all, he was still an eight-year-old child.

But the maturity beyond his age made him stop his tears abruptly, and then he looked up at an old man sitting on a sandalwood wicker chair in the room.

This old man should be Yu'er's grandfather.

That is, the owner of Kowloon Island.

This old man was wearing a navy blue robe, his face was ruddy, there was no wrinkle around his eyes, and his face was full of immortality. If his beard and hair were not all white, it would be impossible to tell that he was actually an old man.

And the sandalwood and rattan chair under him, I don't know how long it has been, and the black lines tell the vicissitudes of time.

Perhaps it is because of the frequent touching of the armrest that it looks abnormally smooth, but this smoothness is different from the surface of the bronze mirror, giving people a sense of thickness after the precipitation of history.

Looking at the other utensils in this ancient house, they are all things of a certain age, and there is a sense of simplicity and clumsiness everywhere.

At this moment, the old man's eyes are drooping slightly, and he is holding a horned dragon crutch in his hand, as if taking a nap.

"Boy, Ye Luo, a person from Chang'an City, has met the old man." Ye Luo bowed with the courtesy of a scholar.

The old man hadn't spoken yet, but Yu'er had already started giggling, sitting beside her grandpa, hugging one of his arms and said happily, "Grandpa, this brother's posture is so strange, this is the Confucian etiquette you mentioned." ?"

At this time, the old man seemed to have woken up, stretched out his hand fondly to touch Yu'er's head, and nodded with a smile.

Then he set his eyes on Ye Luo's body, a light flashed in his eyes, and he sized him up carefully.

At this moment, Ye Luo only felt like a newborn baby, presented naked in front of the other party, without any secrets anymore, being seen clearly.

He was taken aback immediately, but he didn't dodge.

Because he knew that this old man was not an ordinary person, and it was useless to dodge.

A moment later, a strange light flashed in the old man's eyes.

Among them, there is a hint of appreciation.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Young man, although I don't know who left you on this Kowloon Island, there are no more than one slap in the world who can land on my Kowloon Island alone. There are two people who know me well."

"So, I can basically deduce who this person is. And I can roughly guess his thoughts. And your kid's outstanding aptitude is the only one I have ever seen in my life. However, I will not accept you as a disciple."

Ye Luo fell silent after hearing the words, and did not speak.

In his heart, he silently digested the old man's words.

"Who sent me here? That person wants you to accept me as an apprentice?" His eyes were extremely clear and bright, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

The admiration in the eyes of the old man was even greater, and he nodded: "The boy is really very clever, and he guessed the old man's intentions in no time."

"It's just that the secrets of heaven must not be leaked."

"So, I won't tell you who he is. You will meet him later."

"But, you said you wouldn't accept me as an apprentice?" Ye Luo looked puzzled.

Yu'er was also pouted at this time, holding the old man's arm and shaking it non-stop: "Grandpa, grandpa, I finally got a playmate, do you want to drive him away from Kowloon Island? If you really do this , I will ignore you from now on!"

The old man laughed, stretched out his hand and stroked Yu'er's head, with a kind face on his face: "Good granddaughter, I just said that I won't accept him as a disciple, but I didn't say that I won't let him stay here to practice."

After hearing this, Yu'er nodded in satisfaction, and kissed the old man's face forcefully with her probe, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Then she turned her head again and said seriously to Ye Luo: "Big Brother, don't worry, Grandpa won't drive you away."

At this time, Ye Luo suddenly thought of the many rumors about the sect of the immortal family, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and blurted out: "Is this the holy land of the immortal family?"

Rumor has it that on the mainland of Kyushu, there are quite a few sacred places of immortal families, where idlers cannot enter at all. Only those who are truly related to the immortal family can step into them and cultivate the ability to become immortal.

Such legends spread everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, and Mr. Taohua once told himself some.

And on the mainland of Kyushu, in addition to the holy land of the immortal family, there is also a place for the cultivation of the demon sect, which is occupied by the demon clan.

"This can't be called the holy land of the fairy family, it's just a wild place." The old man shook his head lightly.
