Twenty-two Ranger

Cough cough cough...

The two were having fun chatting, suddenly, Mr. Lin covered his mouth and coughed violently, and a sickly red color appeared on his waxy face.

"Young Master!" Xiaodie, who was standing beside him, quickly picked up the teacup and brought it to Mr. Lin's mouth, and said with concern: "The cold wind in Jiang Feng is too strong, which will aggravate your condition. Mr., you should go back to your room!"

Mr. Lin took a sip of hot tea, stopped coughing, looked at Huo Xuan, and apologized: "Brother Huo is laughing!"

"Brother Third, your illness seems to be not bad?" Huo Xuan asked with concern.

"I was too eager to achieve success in my early years. I was not careful for a moment and got the root of this disease." Mr. Lin sighed, felt better, and said, "Where did you talk just now... let's continue!"

"Young Master!" Xiaodie shouted softly. Her anxious eyes looked at Huo Xuan, with the intention being obvious.

"It's windy outside. Third brother, you'd better go back to your room to rest. Let's talk about it another day!" Huo Xuan immediately persuaded Mr. Lin and asked him to go back to your room to rest quickly.

After he and Xiaodie persuaded him, Mr. Lin couldn't resist and had to get up and leave. Before returning to the room, he specially greeted Huo Xuan, saying that if you have any needs, he would give Xiaodie no polite instructions.

Seeing Xiaodie holding Mr. Lin, her face full of tenderness and sweetness, Huo Xuan sighed for no reason. A noble young man and a humble maid blocking them is an insurmountable chasm. Will they have a bright future? No one knows...

Before noon the next day, the giant ship arrived in Beicangcheng successfully. After docking at the pier, Huo Xuan got off the boat with Mr. Lin and his party. At the pier, someone had already prepared a carriage and horse to come to pick him up.

Mr. Lin’s ancestral home is Heishui Town, twenty miles away from Beicangcheng. Everyone got into a carriage and arrived at this town within a few hours. Heishui Town is not large in size, but it is very prosperous and lively. Mr. Lin’s ancestral home is located on the side of the street in the center of the town. It is the most prosperous place in the town, with endless vendors coming and going, which is very lively.

He agreed to Mr. Lin in advance and had some time to play in Heishui Town. After Huo Xuan arrived, he did not rush to Cangmang Mountain and lived in the Lin Mansion's ancestral house. Three days later, he said goodbye to Mr. Lin. He was very happy to meet this third brother Lin, brother Yan Fei and sister Xiaodie. However, he was responsible for heavy responsibilities and could not delay the time here. He had to set off as soon as possible and rushed to Cangmang Mountain to find the old man with poison.

Mr. Lin was kind enough to keep him, but when Huo Xuan left, he had to give up. He ordered Yan Fei to prepare a fast horse for Huo Xuan, prepare dry food, and have thoughtful ideas. Huo Xuan was very moved.

Before leaving, he told Huo Xuan to be careful on the road. If he had free time, he would come to Heishui Town to meet. He would stay in his ancestral residence for three years and welcome Huo Xuan as a guest at any time.

Huo Xuan nodded and agreed. Then, Mr. Lin also stuffed him something, a piece of light yellow talisman paper.

Evil-repelling talisman!

Huo Xuan saw this thing clearly and was shocked and quickly refused. The talisman refined by Xuan Master was so valuable that it goes without saying that he had already received great favor from the other party, but now how could he be embarrassed to receive such a valuable gift again!

"Brother Huo, you and I will fall in love with you at first sight. This evil-proof talisman Quan is a little bit of my heart. You have to go to Cangmang Mountain to find people, and it is very dangerous. With this spiritual talisman, the third brother can let you leave with confidence!"

This is what Mr. Lin said before he left.

After hearing this, Huo Xuan felt nothing but moved. He couldn't help but feel kindness. He accepted the evil-repelling talisman and made a secret decision in his heart that he would repay him in the future.

Being rewarded by someone with a water supply is a spring of water. This is Huo Xuan’s purpose of being a human being. What’s more, Mr. Lin, Brother Yan Fei, and Sister Xiaodie also have life-saving grace to him. This friendship has been deeply engraved in his heart and will never be forgotten!

…………

Dada dada...

A sound of horse hooves echoed in the empty mountains and forests. After a while, I saw a 14 or 15-year-old boy riding a white horse and walking slowly from the rugged road.

The young man looked handsome, and although his bones were thin, he had a heroic face. He was wearing a long white silk robe, with a golden crown, and his clothes were luxuriously decorated. The white horse under him was also extraordinary, and he was obviously from a wealthy man. The only disadvantage of his beauty was that he carried a six-foot stone stick, which looked extremely strange.

Needless to say, this young man was Huo Xuan.

He bid farewell to Mr. Lin and his party, set off from Heishui Town in the early morning and set off for Cangmang Mountain. From Heishui Town, it is less than a hundred miles away from Cangmang Mountain. Logically speaking, with the foot strength of the horse given by Mr. Lin, he could reach around noon. However, because the stone stick behind him was about 200 pounds, it almost added to the weight of two people. Under the weight of the horse, the foot strength was naturally greatly reduced. It took more than two hours before he arrived at the foot of Cangmang Mountain.

It was not Huo Xuan who wanted to carry the stone stick on his body. There was no way. His ring space was only five feet in radius and could not accommodate this six-foot-long stone stick, so he could only carry it all the way.

"burden!"

Sitting on the back of the horse, Huo Xuan saw the stone stick stretched out from behind from the corner of his eyes and muttered dissatisfiedly. Even though he was a warrior and still had a horse to carry the heavy and stupid stone stick, he would have been unable to bear it. If he hadn't been interested in the guy inside the stone stick, he would have thrown away the broken thing.

After tying the reins, the white horse slowed down its pace. Huo Xuan looked at it and saw all the mountains and ridges and undulating peaks. The vast mountain is vast and stretches northward for thousands of miles. Looking for a person in such a large area is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

He thought about it and decided to ask someone for information first. It would be better than a headless fly, who would rush around and wander around after entering the mountains. Then he rode his horse forward and looked around.

I...

Not long after walking, a woodcutter appeared on the path ahead. Huo Xuan quickly tied the reins, and the white horse immediately stopped.

"Uncle, I have something to ask you for advice!" Huo Xuan jumped down from the back of the horse and came to the woodcutter. Although he was carrying a stone stick weighing more than 200 pounds, he was still quite agile.

The woodcutter was in his thirties and dark skin. He looked at Huo Xuan with a look of surprise, and he might have felt a little strange. How could he meet such a rich young master in this wilderness? Also, the stone stick on his back also made him feel strange. After looking at him for a while, the woodcutter came to his senses and replied with a smile: "What's wrong with this young master?"

"I would like to ask, is there an old man who poisons lives in this Cangmang Mountain?" Huo Xuan asked politely.

"Old Man with Medicine Poison..." After hearing this, the woodcutter was confused and scratched his head. After thinking for a long time, he slapped his head and made a sudden realization and replied: "Young Master, you said that the old man with Medicine Poison is not that weird!"

When Huo Xuan heard that there was a door, he asked quickly: "Freak? What weird guy? Where is he..."

"There are poisonous miasma everywhere in this vast mountain, and ferocious birds and beasts are everywhere. It is very dangerous. No one dares to go deeper, let alone live inside. Even the people in our village chop wood and hunt, they are only near the periphery. There is a strange man who often comes to our village to buy some rice and grain. The villagers ask where he lives? The strange man pointed to Moyun Peak and said he lived there..." The woodcutter was very enthusiastic and told Huo Xuan that he had all his knowledge.

After hearing this, Huo Xuan became calculating. If it was probably right, the weird guy mentioned by this woodcutter should be the old man whom he was looking for.

"Uncle, where is Moyun Peak?" he asked again.

"Just there, the highest mountain is!"

The woodcutter turned around and pointed to the northwest. Huo Xuan looked at him and saw a steep peak among the undulating mountains. It must have been Moyun Peak.

"Thank you uncle!" He was happy to get the whereabouts of the old man with medicine poison. He thanked the woodcutter, then turned over and prepared to enter the mountain to go to Moyun Peak.

Just as he was about to ride a horse, the woodcutter came to the horse with a warning tone and said, "Young Master, you can see that you are also a martial artist, otherwise you would not come here alone. However... This Cangmang Mountain has not been peaceful recently. A demon python often appears in nearby forests and specializes in eating people. Several hunters in our village have disappeared after entering the mountain and never returned. It seems that it is a great disaster. You are young, don't take risks with yourself!"

"Demon Python!" Huo Xuan was shocked after hearing this, but then he felt at ease. There were two evil-proof talismans to defend himself. No matter how powerful the demon python was, he was not afraid.

"Thank you for your advice!" He bowed to the woodcutter with a smile and said, "You have your own way to defend yourself. If you really meet that demon python, you might be able to destroy this evil beast and eliminate everyone's harm!"

Seeing that he was calm and composed, he looked confident. The woodcutter was amazed, thought for a while, and asked, "Young Master, can you... are you also a great ranger?"

"Ranker?"

Huo Xuan smiled after hearing this. The so-called rangers are also warriors. They do not have the support of sects and family forces and are warriors living at the bottom. Generally, they either walk alone or go around in groups, traveling around the world under the banner of chivalrous and righteousness. Therefore, they are respected as rangers by some ordinary people who do not understand martial arts.

Huo Xuan knew that there were also good and bad among the rangers, and the quality was mixed. Some bandits who robbed families and specialized in accusing people and money often used the banner of the rangers. Once upon a time, several bandits were entrenched on the Li River, specifically robbing merchant ships. These guys also claimed to be bandits, but they did all kinds of evil. Finally, the Huo family and many forces in Lijiang City surrounded and suppressed them, and the bandits were eradicated.

However, real rangers are all chivalrous and righteous, open and honest. No matter how hard life is, they will not do evil things that harm the people.

"I... am right!" Huo Xuan nodded. He was free and unruly by nature and had no resistance to the ranger, so he admitted it calmly.

"That's great!" The woodcutter was full of joy after hearing this, "In order to deal with the demon python, our village chief specially invited several rangers from Heishui Town, and now the people are in our village. If the young master wants to go into the mountain to find people, it is better to go with them together. This will make people safe, and secondly, if you encounter the demon python, you can work together to eradicate the disaster!"
