Anu walked to the courtyard and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his fifties dressed as a hunter.

Anu saw that this man looked very similar to Senior Brother Tieniu, and he had some guesses in his mind. Anu smiled and said: Hello, uncle, is this Senior Brother Tieniu's house?

I am his junior brother in Huoshen Mountain. My name is Anu and I am very familiar with him!

When he heard that this man was Tieniu's junior brother in Huoshen Mountain, he quickly said to Anu: Ah, you are Tieniu's junior brother, I am his father, my name is Tiezheng, come on, please come in!

After saying that, he led Anu into the house.

Anu came to the house and took a look and found that although the house was quite old, it was still very clean and tidy.

Tie Zheng saw A Nu looking at the house, and said to A Nu with some embarrassment: The house is a little dilapidated. Sit down and I will pour hot water for you. You must be thirsty. It's a long way here!

Anu quickly smiled and said: Uncle, you don’t have to be polite to me. I got along very well with Senior Brother Tieniu in Huoshen Mountain!

Moreover, Senior Brother Tieniu and I are still brothers of life and death who are bound by blood. Uncle, you really don’t have to be polite to me, you can sit down too!

Tie Zheng also sat down when he heard this. He said to Anu: I heard that Tie Niu came back and told me some things about him in Huoshen Mountain. Your name was indeed mentioned. Then why did you come all the way from Huoshen Mountain?

The sacred mountain has arrived in this remote place!

Anu said with a smile: I have been in Huoshen Mountain for a long time, and I am a little bored. Besides, Senior Brother Tieniu has been away from Huoshen Mountain for half a year, and I am a little worried about him, so I came over to take a look!

By the way, uncle, my senior brother is doing well now, is there nothing wrong?

Upon hearing this, Tie Zheng also sighed worriedly and said: He was quite good when he first came back, but when he came back he asked me if our Lishan tribe had any legends and inheritance in ancient times?

I don’t understand this either, so I just said I don’t know.

Later, he went out to the village to inquire with some elderly people. One old man said that there was indeed a legend in our village.

Legend has it that our back mountain, no matter how big it is, used to be a large swamp, and there lived a mythical beast in it. It could protect the area of ​​hundreds of miles of good weather and no disasters, and it could also help everyone avoid sword battles and plagues!

But later on, I don’t know why the mythical beast offended God. God kept raining down thunder and fire for three consecutive days, which evaporated all the swamps and cut off half of the mountain peaks!

After the thunder and fire from the sky passed, the mythical beast also disappeared without knowing whether it was alive or dead.

Daze was also filled up by the earth and rocks that collapsed from the mountain. After hearing this legend, Tieniu insisted on going to the back mountain to check!

I was still a little worried about him, but Tieniu reassured me that he was very strong now, so he went to the back mountain to check. Within half a month, the back mountain collapsed and cracked!

I don’t know what happened, but many unknown ferocious beasts and demonic beasts came from elsewhere and crashed and stayed near our village, almost trampling on our village!

Fortunately, these evil beasts were beaten away by Tieniu who came back from the back mountain in time. Tieniu stayed at home for two days and then went to the back mountain again!

He has not come back yet. Although I am worried, he said not to let me go find him. He said he will definitely come back!

Tie Zheng worriedly told A Nu what happened after Tie Niu came back!

Upon hearing this, Anu said: Uncle, don't worry, I think senior brother will be fine, he is still very strong!

I wonder if he is practicing or looking for opportunities in the back mountain. I will go to the back mountain tomorrow to see if I can find my senior brother?

Upon hearing this, Tie Zheng said quickly: My child, please don't go, it's too dangerous! I don't want you to be in danger too.

Anu smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I just went to take a look. If I am really in danger, I will still run very fast!"

Besides, I want to see how my senior brother is doing. I'm not too worried about his current situation.

When Tie Zheng saw that Anu was determined to go, he couldn't dissuade him, so he had to cook some hot meals for Anu first.

Wait for Anu!

Anu also took out the wine, dried meat and preserved fruits, as well as peanuts to go with the wine, etc. and started eating and drinking with Tiezheng!

This wine was originally given to Anu by Tie Niu. Tie Zheng was also very happy when he saw Anu bring out his home-brewed wine, and he and Anu kept eating and drinking until the evening!

When it was time to rest, Anu was arranged to live in the house where Tieniu used to live.

After a night of silence, Anu just got up and went out of the house the next day, and found that Tie Zheng had gotten up earlier than him, and he was frying pancakes by the stove!

Tieniu's mother died young, so Tiezheng hunted, cooked, and mended all by himself.

Anu also came over to help Tie Zheng make pancakes. The two of them had breakfast. Anu also said goodbye to Tie Zheng and went to the so-called back mountain to check!

When Tie Zheng saw that A Nu was about to leave, he wrapped the remaining cake in gauze and handed it to A Nu, saying: This is quite far from the back mountain, sixty miles away!

There is no food on this journey and your stomach will feel uncomfortable if you only eat meat. Take this cake with you to eat on the way!

Anu also took the cake and Tiezheng and said goodbye, heading towards the back of the village. This road can lead directly to the back mountain.

Anu walked along the farmland ditches on both sides of the road for a stick of incense and came to the back of the village.

There are also village gates built with wooden piles and big stones. The main purpose is to prevent wild beasts and monsters from entering the village to attack humans and harm the dealers.

Anu arrived under the village gate and found that there was a leaky thatched house. This thatched house was also too dilapidated!

Not only is there no ventilation everywhere, the door is broken, the windows are gone, and a group of birds are chirping on the thatched house!

There is also a simple thatched shed in front of the thatched house, and under the thatched shed there is an old table and a few small stools that have been repaired several times.

A lame old man in his eighties with gray hair, wearing a gray robe that had been sewn, mended and patched, was limping with a rag and wiping the table and stools.

Anu walked up to the old man and saw that the old man hadn't noticed him yet. Maybe he was too old and couldn't hear the footsteps!

Anu coughed loudly and walked around in front of the old man. Only then did the old man discover Anu's existence.

Anu smiled and shouted to the old man: Old man, should we follow this road to get to the back mountain?

The old man looked up at Anu and found that he was not from the village. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Little young man, you are not from our Lishan tribe, are you?"

Anu nodded and said: Well, I'm not from this village. I'm here to find someone. Have you heard of my senior brother Tieniu?

I heard his father say that he came to the back mountain. I was afraid that he would be in danger, so I came to the back mountain to look for him. Have you seen Tieniu?

The old man's reaction was still a bit slow. After Anu finished speaking, he organized his words and said: Ah, you said that boy Tieniu, he did go to the back mountain!

But the back mountain is very dangerous, and monsters often appear there. There are tigers, leopards, wolves and insects. Are you not afraid?

Anu said: I am very powerful and I am not afraid. Do you know which way to go up the mountain?

When the old man saw that Anu was determined to go to the back mountain, he pointed to the path to the left without blocking it and said: Keep going along this road and you will be there sixty miles away. That mountain is very special. The top of the mountain is covered by clouds and mist.

Thunder often hits near the top of the mountain, which is easy to spot. Do you really want to go?

Upon hearing this, Anu nodded and said: Don't worry, old man, I'm very strong, it's okay, just go ahead and do your work, thank you!

By the way, I still have some dry food and dried meat here. Uncle, I think it’s not easy for you to be alone, so I’ll save it for you!

After saying that, he put the food on the table and walked in the direction pointed by the old man.

Seeing Anu leave, the old man shook his head and said: These young people are very confident now!

However, the young eagle also needs to be beaten by wind and thunder before it can become an eagle. Let’s see if it is the nine-day eagle!

He muttered and dragged a lame leg

Sit on a stool and rest.

Anu walked out of the village gate and walked forward in the direction pointed by the old man. As he walked, he said, "It's really not easy for this old man. He doesn't know if he has any children, grandchildren or descendants!"

Looking at him like that, he has only a few days left to live. Alas, life is not easy! He is so old and he doesn’t know who will take care of him. What will he eat every day?

Anu shook his head and walked away quickly. At this time, the man watching the door smiled in his mind: Don't you really want to go on a pilgrimage? Are you thinking that if you can be valued by some saint, you can reward him with some treasures? That's the old man just now.

Where is the great sage of the demon clan!

When Anu heard this, he quickly paused and asked in surprise: What did you say? Did you say he was a saint or a great sage of the demon clan? Is it true or false? You are not teasing me, are you teasing me?

The man looking at the door smiled and said, "When did I tease you? Haven't you never seen a saint? I didn't want to tell you what a saint looks like!"

As soon as Anu heard this, he turned around and ran back.

When the gatekeeper saw that Anu was going back, he immediately shouted: What are you going back for?

Upon hearing this, Anu said anxiously: Of course I have to worship him, this is a saint, my God, my God! I actually met a saint!

After saying that, he ran back.

The man watching the door said silently: How do you tell him when you go back that you know he is a saint? What if he finds out that I told you, and he gets angry and kills us?

When Anu heard this, he stopped and said: Saints also kill people?

The man watching the door said: They hid it here on purpose. At first glance, they didn’t want others to know!

If he finds out that you know he is a saint, he might kill you when he gets angry!

When Anu heard this, he was also troubled and said: Did I just pass by the saint like this? This is so unacceptable! I want to see the saint in my dream!

I still thought that when I saw a saint, I would be rewarded with some treasures by the saint. Even if I was given a holy weapon, it would be good. If not, it would be fine if I was given a divine weapon! Oh, this is such a pity!

Anu polished it in place, hoping to return to the old man.

The gatekeeper said: "Let's go. You have no chance to meet him. If he likes you, he will naturally give you advice!"

When Anu heard this, he said: Then don't you ask others for advice, then they will give you advice? If you don't ask for advice, why will they rush to give you advice? I'd better go back!

When I got back, I didn't say anything and just hung around in front of him, what if he understood what I meant?

Looking at the door, Anu chuckled in his mind and said: What if he gets impatient and kills you? Besides, I can give you advice, why do you have to risk it and ask him?

Anu said angrily: Didn't you see the saint, and you always want to get some favors from the saint? No matter how bad it is, you can give me some advice!

Or point out my shortcomings, these can motivate me to practice. What a pity to miss it in vain!

Kan Damen said jokingly: Didn't he inspire you, didn't you hear?

Anu was confused when he heard this and asked: When did he say anything to inspire me?

Kan Damen jokingly said: When you two met, didn't he call you a junior? This means he recognizes you!

Do you think you can catch up with him in your future achievements? That’s why I call you a junior!

Anu was speechless when he heard this and said: That doesn't matter. Do you understand that this is polite?

The man watching the door sneered: Do you think the saint will be polite to you?

Anu was speechless when he saw the door and had no choice but to leave angrily!

The old man in the hut in front of the thatched house looked at the direction in which Anu disappeared and said: What a keen boy, you actually noticed me!

But was this Guawazi really taught by the two people from Huoshenshan? I feel like this guy is in much better shape than I was back then!
