In The Dream Mortal Realm.
Xian Li opened his eyes only to see fire burning a village. He looked around that people were running around like crazy and ther were some people who looked like bandits running behind them with some weapons.
He suddenly felt himself moving but not by his legs. It was at this moment that he realized that he was a very small boy. He noticed his bone age, which was only 3 months.
He was picked up by a middle aged man who had an anxious expression on his face. He was running towards the forest with him with as much strength he could gather is his body to run.
When they reached the starting of the forest, the man was suddenly attacked from behind with knife which was thrown towards him. This caused him as well as Xian Li to fall.The man fell at the same place but Xian Li was thrown ahead and fell on the ground with his head which made him unconscious.
After that....., he did not know what happened. If he was in his previous body, he wouldn't even have fallen in the first place, but this time, he was in the body of a mortal. That too, a new born kid who couldn't even talk let alone survive a fall. His body was weak as hell!
An unknown time later.
Xian Li slowly opened his eyes as he found himself in a soft, comfy..... bed?
He looked at his surroundings with his small little face, and even this took a consoderable strength to do. He noticed that he was in a wooden hut.
There was nothing and no one in the hut except for two chairs, a table and ssome kitchen utnsils, and a fire too. The rest of the hut was empty. But it seemed like that it was very crowded with things because it was a very small hut. Most of the space was occupied by the bed.
But these things were not worth any attention. As he looked towards the broken door, a shadow appeared and got inside the hut.
As the shadow went inside, Xian Li immediately closed his eyes and pretended as if he was asleep. For a while, he stayed like this. Then, he slowly opened a small portion of his right eyes to secretly see who that shadow was.
But when he opened his eye, the shadow was sitting in front of him. It started laughing and spoke-
"Stop acting kid. I know you are awake, don't try to fool me."
From what Xian Li heard, it was an old man's voice which he somehow felt like.... he had heard it somewhere. Just that, he can't remember it yet.
It seemed like a lost memory in his mind. When he opened his eyes to see the face of that old man, his mind got upside-sown. He was shocked to hihs core. His heart was racing inside. He didn't knew what to say.
His eyes began to shed small tears. He opened his mouth to say something bu couldn't due to his unability to speak as his body was still too young.
Before he could do anything else, that old man stood up and went towards the fire and took out something from it.
It was food, the old man had left there, in the fire, to get cooked!
He took it out, got a spoon and came back towards Xian Li. He used the spoon to feed Xian li. Xian Li didn't resist and swallowed the food which was being fed to him, though his eyes were still watery and were shedding tears.
After he finished feeding the food to Xian Li, he kept the plate aside and looked towards Xian Li with a smile on his face and said something-
"Should we get to work now, kid?"
Xian Li nodded, still in tears but a lot better than before.
Becouse the onew feeding him in front of him, that old man was none other than-
HIS MASTER!!!!
The Great Ancestor Of Swords.
