Chapter 1 Shuangquan Village
Shuangquan Village, an inconspicuous village in a small country in Yunyang, has many springs in Yunyang, and Shuangquan Village is no exception. There is a sweet spring in the south of the village, which is as sweet as syrup, and a bitter spring in the north of the village, which is bitter like Coptis chinensis, and is not suitable for drinking. Over time, the villagers slowly settled in the south of the village. The bitter spring in the north of the village is deserted. But the name of Shuangquan Village has been continued.
At this time, the sun was setting, and several children were walking home with their cattle playing around.
"If I become an immortal, each of you will be given an elixir first, so that you can also become immortals. ”
"If I become an immortal, I will marry Erya and let her be my wife. ”
"If I become an immortal, I will build a big house for my family, as big as Jiang Wangba's family, no, bigger than his family. ”
"It's just you, don't dream, it's good to build a big house and have a small hut to live in. ”
"Hello, I still want to marry Erya, Erya will marry me, and I won't marry you. ”
"Why, you're not convinced, you want to fight. ”
"Hit it, I'm afraid of you. ”
"Okay, okay, this is home, go back and eat enough, so that I can participate in the immortal selection conference tomorrow." ”
"I'm too lazy to take care of you, I listen to Brother Bolt, and when I choose tomorrow, I'll let my father go to Erya's house to propose. ”
"Okay, let's compare and see who can be chosen. ”
The "Immortal Selection Conference" referred to by the children actually refers to the Qingquan Sect's five-year disciple selection meeting, which is held every five years to select true cultivators among children between the ages of 12 and 15.
On the continent of Donghong, cultivators and mortals live side by side, and a large part of the cultivators are from mortals, so even children are not too unfamiliar with immortal cultivators, and they know a little bit about it.
Cultivators and mortals have their own ways and have intersections, but they won't have much impact. Because there is an iron law among cultivators: "Those who interfere with the normal life of mortals will be killed." "Remember, it's not words like hurt, slaughter. It's interference. It is this iron law that guarantees the normal life of mortals.
Qingquan Sect, the kind of inferior sect, it is said that its sect was established in the Qingquan Valley of the Wurime Mountains, there is a cold pool in the Qingquan Valley, the aura is rich, and the five springs emerge from the bottom of the spring, so it is named "Qingquan Sect".
But all this is too far for the children of a small village.
The children's fighting, Lu Tong didn't hear it, he also likes Erya, Erya is the best-looking girl in the village, and many boys like it. Lu Tong is not very good at talking, but he has a good temper, he is not afraid of hardship and tiredness, and he is full of tenacity, so he is very popular, although he is young, few children dare to bully him. At this time, he led his own cattle to follow the back of the team, bowing his head and thinking about cultivating immortals, what is cultivating immortals.
"Ergoudan, what do you want to do after you become an immortal?" asked the child's headbolt.
Dog Egg is Lu Tong's nickname, Lu Tong has three sisters, once had two elder brothers, but they all died when they were three years old, so their parents were very afraid of breaking the Lu family's incense, and in line with the principle of cheap names to make a living, they took a dog egg. But there was already a child in the village named Godan, four years older than him. Therefore, the children call him Ergoudan. Ergoudan is twelve years old this year, and there are two younger brothers below, both of whom are very healthy, so his father is very happy and thinks that this is the blessing brought by Goudan, so he named it Lu Tong, a hundred passes, and everything goes well.
"What can you do to become an immortal?" Lu Tong asked rhetorically.
"Let me tell you, after becoming an immortal, you can eat fragrant food, drink spicy food, live in a big house, marry several wives, glorify your ancestors, drive the clouds, and ...... , by the way, you can live forever, you can live forever!" The plug is 15 years old this year, older than Lu Tong, he has been to the town, and he has some knowledge, Lu Tong admires Brother Plug very much, and thinks what he said is right.
"Then, what can you do after being immortal?" Lu Tong asked again.
"Can you ...... after immortality Yes...... , why do you ask so much, it's a good thing anyway. The plug replied casually.
"You're home. Bolt said.
"En," Lu Tong agreed casually.
"What can you do if you are immortal? Is it better than being a king?" Lu Tong asked himself. His greatest dream is to one day establish his own country and become the king of a country. This was what he thought from the bottom of his heart, but he never mentioned it to anyone.
Looking at the smoke coming out of the thatched hut in front of him, Lu informed that it was the eldest sister cooking, and her parents were very hardworking and busy with farm work all day long, so the task of taking care of Lu Tong since childhood was taken over by the eldest sister, and in Lu Tong's eyes, the eldest sister was like a mother. The eldest sister is about to get married, and she will marry his brother. The condition of the emboli home is quite haode. Therefore, the parents were very happy about this marriage.
Lu Tong shook his head and thought: What are you doing with this, I haven't eaten yet.
"Eldest sister, what kind of food are you cooking, I'm hungry. Lu Tong said as he walked towards the house, wanting to see what the eldest sister cooked.
"Mother, why did you come back early, Dad?" but ran into my mother who was walking out.
"Dog, your father is waiting for you in the house, as well as your uncles. ”
"What are they doing here?"
"Come into the house!" Lu Tongniang said as she walked with a plate of dishes.
Lu Tong walked into the house and saw that the uncle, father, uncle, and second uncle were all sitting around the dinner table. The elder sister hugged the younger brothers and sat on the other side to play, and when she saw the arrival of the eldest brother, the younger brothers looked at Lu Tong, looked at the good dishes on the table, rubbed their fingers together, and seemed to have something to say in their mouths.
"Dog, come and sit. Without waiting for Lu Tong to speak, the uncle pointed to the vacant seat next to him and said.
Seeing the dog standing there, his mother gently pushed him forward, pointed to the empty seat with her eyes, and then walked to the side and took the younger brother from the eldest sister's hand.
Seeing that the dog was still standing there, the second uncle said while pulling him: "If you are told to sit, you can sit, what are you afraid of." ”
Somehow, Lu Tong sat in the empty seat, his head bowed, his feet rubbing each other, and his hands shrunk between his abdomen.
"Dog, you must also know that this year's fairy selection meeting is held in the town, all children between the ages of twelve and fifteen can participate, there are a total of thirteen eligible children in our village, although you are young, you are also old enough to participate. Tomorrow, let your father take you to the town to participate in the selection, if you can be selected, it will be a matter of honoring your ancestors, you must choose well, and strive to let people choose you. Did you hear it?" The uncle's voice was very heavy, and Lu Tong was full of excitement.
Then, the two uncles said something like running for the election, honoring their ancestors, and they left without even eating.
Looking at his father, who never said a word, Lu Tong sat dumbfounded, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Dog, don't be stressed, tomorrow my father will go with you to participate in the selection, it doesn't matter if you can't be selected, we can still live a good haode, our village has only heard that the old Jiang family has had an immortal since your grandfather can remember, and it is true that the ancestors have been glorified for a while, but there has been no response for many years, I heard that he died outside a long time ago, and it may not be a good thing to be selected, don't take this matter to heart, we have to live a good life if it doesn't succeed." Mother, you make the food hot and tell the children to eat, and tomorrow's business will be talked about tomorrow. Lu Tong's father said as he got up and walked out.
"Why are you going, not eating together?"
"Eat, I'll go out for a walk. "Before Lu Tong and his mother could say anything, Lu Tong's father had already arrived outside the door.
After eating, just as Lu Tong couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the bed, his mother walked to his bed with her sleeping brother in her arms.
"Mother" Lu Tong shouted.
"Dog, don't think about it, go to bed early!"
"Mother, how is the immortal selection conference, can you really glorify your ancestors if you are elected?"
"Mother doesn't know what you're talking about, in short, no matter what you do, live well, be a good person, there's always nothing wrong with it. Go to bed early, you'll have to get up early tomorrow and get on your way. After speaking, Lu Tongniang walked out slowly with her little brother in her arms.
After his mother left, Lu Tong looked at the roof with his eyes, "What is the purpose of the immortal selection conference? Can you glorify your ancestors if you are elected? What can you do after being immortal? Is it better than becoming the monarch of a country?" Thinking about it, Lu Tong closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep, in his sleep, Lu Tong dreamed that he became an immortal, built a big house, married Erya, soared through the clouds, and flew over the mountains outside the village with Erya, dreaming of ......
