8 Mourning (1/2)

After finishing his conversation with Gold, Zao Tian prepared to leave the forest and return home.

Looking around, Zao Tian again thought that Gold had done a magnificent job in preserving that place, there hardly was such a beautiful place in the world.

”This place ... Is he going to be okay? Since you will be leaving with me, who will protect the forest? ”Zao Tian asked worriedly, he feared that now that Gold would not be there any day, people would find out he was gone and would foul this spotless spot.

”Do not worry. The ”Monkey King of the Blue Winds” is a demonic beast extremely strong and faithful to me. Very few people on this continent are capable of defeating him. With him guarding the forest no one will dare approach. ”Gold explained.

He realized that Zao Tian was indeed worried about the forest, a part of him was also, after all he always preserved that place. However, if someone invaded the forest, the ”Monkey King of the Blue Winds” would destroy it, so the rumors about the devil would continue to spread and no one would dare to return.

Gold: ”Boy, I'll teach you some martial techniques. However, to learn the simplest techniques I will give you, you must at least stabilize your spiritual energy and control it freely. ”

Zao Tian: ”I understand ... I have in my memories some basic and low-level techniques, I can apply them until my energy and cultivation stabilize.”

Gold: ”Interesting ... So I'm going to take a nap, do not bother me.”

”Right”. Zao Tian replied as he looked back as if he were saying goodbye to that place. He looked at the ”Monkey King Of The Blue Winds” and nodded down. The ”Monkey King Of The Blue Winds” waved back as if saying goodbye.

After turning his gaze forward, Zao Tian sought in his memory a technique of movement called 'Fast Steps', it was an extremely basic movement technique and Zao Tian was already fully familiar with the principles of it. ”Come on”. Zao Tian concentrated his spiritual energy and a wave of Qi enveloped his body; after that stabilizing Qi, Zao Tian concentrated him on the soles of his feet;

he jumped forward and started to run.

* Swooosh *. Zao Tian's speed of movement increased at least three times, every step he took seemed like a leap, at that speed he would quickly come home.

Several thoughts passed through Zao Tian's head. According to what Gold said, Zao Tian was in the forest for about 14 days. How were your father and brother? And the people of the village? Almost everyone in the village cooperated with each other and liked each other, getting over that life alone was something no one could do. Although he had blood ties only to his father and brother, Zao Tian had affection and considered everyone in the village his family.

-----------------------------------

The village of Zao Tian did not have a specific name, it was only called the village ”Eight”. A simple number was how they defined the place. It was evident that the people of the village of workers were no better than animals in the eyes of others.

The entire village, which had about 300 inhabitants, was in a state of mourning. People really lamented the disappearance of Zao Tian.

It was almost night, the full moon was slowly taking the place of the sun and appearing in the sky.

Zao Xin and Zao Rei, stayed at home these days. At first, they carried the hope that Zao Tian would return home. However, after the seventh day without news of Zao Tian, ​​they decided that they would keep mourning for a whole month.
