The knife did not cut down directly as expected, but changed an angle and pierced the old man's heart, and immediately blood gushed like a spring.

Mo Chu, who had never seen a murderer, was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kept trembling, but when he saw his grandfather lying in a pool of blood, his grandfather still muttered "Don't hurt my grandson, please" Mo Chu saw his grandfather like this, and his fear disappeared, and he suddenly became angry, rushed forward and grabbed the murderer, tore the robber in his hand, and said, "Return my grandfather, you return my grandfather, I want you to pay for your life." ”

But where was the young Mo Chu's opponent of a strong bandit, he was overthrown to the ground by one of them. Mo Chu stood up and rushed towards the robber again, but the result was still the same. Maybe he didn't have much strength, this time Mo Chu didn't be able to stand up but crawled towards his grandfather.

He slowly picked up his grandfather, just looked at his grandfather, and grandpa said, "Child, don't live in hatred, live for yourself, be worthy of your heart" He raised his hand with difficulty, touched Mo Chu's cheek and said with difficulty, "The road in the future is for you to go by yourself, you are bitter child, you are still young, there are many possibilities, you will lose yourself in hatred, people can not be proud, but not without arrogance, remember?"

"Remember, grandpa, don't go, I'm going to pick immortal medicine for you! You want to become an old immortal, you can't go!" Grandpa" Mo Chu roared loudly, but grandpa's hand had fallen to the ground weakly.

"Grandpa, grandpa, Mo Chu remembers, Mo Chu remembers!" Mo Chu roared, tears like bursting embankments, and then he looked at the group of robbers and said, "I will kill you sooner or later to avenge my grandfather, blood debt and blood repayment, I want to make your life worse than death" The leader who had already turned around suddenly turned around when he heard this, turned around and walked towards Mo Chu, took out a steel knife and put it on Mo Chu's neck and said slowly: "Say it again"

"I want you to pay with blood, I want you to live better than to die, I want you to pay with blood, I want you to 。。。。。。。。 Mo Chu said loudly three times, and then said loudly to the robbers, "Do you hear clearly, you better kill me, otherwise I will send you on your way one by one." “

A strange color appeared in the robber's eyes, fleeting, and said slowly: "What is your name, I will wait for you to take revenge, I will give you time to grow" His hand trembled slightly, including other robbers. But Mo Chu, who was carried away by hatred, didn't notice this.

Mo Chu roared and said: "Okay, don't change your name, sit or change your surname, stretch out your dog's ears for me to hear clearly, my name is 'Taishang Mo Chu'"

"Okay, I'll wait for you to kill me, but can you find me?" and then turned to leave, and when he walked out of the courtyard and silently said, "You have a good grandson," and strode away.

"Shrunken Turtle"

After the robbers left, I looked at my grandfather like this. He remembered the days when he went up the mountain with his grandfather to collect medicine, remembered that his grandfather told him stories about immortals, and remembered the days when his grandfather taught him to read and write.

Mo Chu looked at his grandfather and said slowly, "I will never let any of my relatives be hurt in this life", but what relatives did Mo Chu have at this time? He remembered his parents who he had never met, he looked at his grandfather and cried and said, "Grandpa, you haven't told me who my parents are?"

Perhaps the saddest thing is the loss of a loved one! Physical pain is better than heart pain!

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Chen came to look for the old man, and found the old man who fell in a pool of blood, and Mo Chu, who held the old man tightly in her arms, was shocked, and immediately ran to find someone. Everyone looked at the old man and felt a sharp pain in their hearts.

"Let's separate Mo Chu from him first," someone said, but no matter what method everyone used, Mo Chu's hand was still tightly clinging to his grandfather's clothes, and he muttered, "Grandpa and grandson remember, don't go, don't go, I'm going to kill you, and pay for it with blood." Everyone's faces showed unbearable expressions.

Finally separated Mo Chu from the old man, everyone hurriedly lifted Mo Chu to the bed, Mo Chu was still unconscious at this time, Aunt Chen took care of Mo Chu, she looked at Mo Chu and said softly, "I hope you can come out as soon as possible!"

"Grandpa, grandpa" Mo Chu suddenly got up, Aunt Chen heard the voice and rushed over, Mo Chu saw Aunt Chen and asked, "Auntie, where is my grandfather?" Aunt Chen said to Mo Chu: "People can't be resurrected after death, you have to be strong." Hearing this, Mo Chu left tears again, and said slowly: "Auntie." You know what, I think it's a dream, and when I wake up, my grandfather is still there, and he hasn't left me yet!"

"Child, you have to cheer up, your grandfather doesn't want to see you like this when he is alive, you have to be strong, even if your grandfather is under Jiuquan in the future, you can rest assured. ”

"Auntie, do you say that people can be resurrected after death?" Mo Chu said calmly

When the eldest lady heard what Mo Chu said, she said to Mo Chu: "Maybe, maybe the most powerful immortal in this world can take his life from the hands of this Lord of Yama!

Three days later, his grandfather was buried, Mo Chu saw his grandfather buried inch by inch of loess, he couldn't help crying, he didn't want his grandfather to know that he was a coward, but when the last inch of soil was covered, Mo Chu couldn't help it, he cried heartbreakingly, the weather was quite sunny, and suddenly it began to drizzle. Maybe God doesn't want to see such a result, and weeps for him!

Mo Chu didn't know how long he cried, everyone didn't know how long he stood there, and finally Mo Chu fainted, and everyone carried Mo Chu back to the courtyard. After returning home, Aunt Chen said: "How will this child live in the future!"

"Why don't you take it back?" said someone.

"Yes, yes, but I don't know if this kid is willing, let's wait for him to wake up and ask his opinion, and I'll take care of him for the time being." The crowd nodded

After everyone left, he looked out the window and said slowly, "I hope you can hold on." ”

"Water, water," Mo Chu said weakly.

Aunt Chen saw Mo Chu wake up and hurriedly walked over and handed Mo Chu a bowl of water, after Mo Chu drank it, she looked at Aunt Chen in front of the bed and said, "Auntie, go back, I can take care of myself, I have grown up." ”

Aunt Chen listened and said, "Child, if you go back with me, Auntie will take good care of you, I don't worry about you alone." ”

"No need for auntie, I can, I can take care of myself, there is a shadow of my grandfather's life, I don't want to leave here, believe in my aunt. Mo Chu said calmly.

"Child, the eldest mother believes in you, the eldest mother boiled porridge for you, you drank the porridge after you got up, you have to get better as soon as possible, then the eldest mother will go back, if you have any difficulties, you must come to me, the eldest mother will definitely help you" After speaking, he looked at Mo Chu on the bed and turned to leave.

Mo Chu sat on the bed alone, looking at the empty room, and felt sad again, but this time he didn't shed tears, because he didn't want to disappoint his grandfather, he wanted to be strong.

Maybe in the face of life and death, we will always be so powerless.

Then he took out the box that his grandfather had given him and opened it gently.

As the box slowly opened, he seemed to suddenly remember something and closed it again.

"I promised my grandfather that I couldn't open it until I was eighteen years old, and I had to keep my promise. He whispered.

Then he found a lock from his grandfather's medicine shelf, locked the box, and then found a small bench and stood on the stool to put the box on the top of the medicine shelf. It's just that Mo Chu is young at this time, and he is not very tall, how difficult it is to put it at the top, he can only think of a way, if it doesn't work once, then find a way again, there is a kind of stubbornness that will not give up until the goal is achieved.

"Finally put it on, I'll come back to open you when I'm eighteen years old!" Mo Chu's face showed unprecedented firmness.

"Let's clean up the room!" Mo Chu muttered.

The whole yard is laid out very simply, and there are no superfluous objects, two thatched houses, one grandfather's, one Mochu's, in addition to a grass shed, used for living and cooking, which is piled up with wood picked up by Mochu and grandpa, grandpa never logged "Everything has its own life, the so-called animism, no matter how powerful, must fear heaven and earth." This is a sentence that grandpa often says, and sometimes Mo Chu will come to say, "But why do some people always say that 'man will conquer the sky'?"

"Because of their great ambitions, when some people's abilities are strong to a certain extent, there will always be some unrealistic ideas, thinking that people will conquer the sky, so they wantonly plunder their lives, and when the retribution comes, they don't know what they have done wrong, thinking that the will of heaven is so, so there are people who will conquer the heavens, Mo Chu, you remember, you must not wantonly plunder the lives of weak creatures, but you must not bow to powerful creatures, do more good deeds, understand?" grandpa said solemnly.

"Mo Chu remembered"

The bits and pieces of the past flowed through his mind, and Mo Chu stood there quietly.

After a while, it began to be cleaned again, and the house, grandpa's room had two shelves, one for medicinal herbs, and the other full of collected books, some of which had been read, some of whom had not, some of whom could understand it, and some of whom could not understand it.

There are all kinds of medicinal materials on the medicine shelf, although they are miscellaneous, but they are clearly organized, some of them can be called by name, some are not named, some are collected by grandfather, some of them have been placed since Mo Chu was a child, and they have never changed, and even after a few years, the medicinal materials have not changed, as if they have always been the same, which makes Mo Chu feel very puzzled.

"It's a big treasure on this medicine shelf, it's a big creation! You'll understand when the time comes."

After that, he packed all the things that his grandfather had used in a large box, and he would take them out from time to time in the future, so that he might feel a little warm in the long night!

Mo Chu sat on the steps and looked at the clean and tidy yard, recalling the bits and pieces of the past, and sat like this until dark.

Five years

"Aunt Chen, I brought you a fish, just caught, fresh. ”

"What kind of fish is this kid, the rabbit he brought over last time hasn't been eaten yet?" said Aunt Chen with a smile.

"Are you going to be like your grandfather all the time, collecting medicine for a living?"

Mo Chu did not deny it.

"Auntie, I'll go back if there's nothing to do, you're busy!"

Aunt Chen looked at Mo Chu who was far away, with a complicated expression.

Eighteen-year-old Mo Chu, dressed in black, with sword eyebrows and eyes, makes people look a little good. His eyes are firm, and his face is full of maturity and vicissitudes that do not belong to this age.

For so many years, Mo Chu has been inquiring about the whereabouts of that gang of robbers, but that group of people has disappeared from the world.

The second day of the second lunar month

Today, the troupe came to the city, which was invited by the city lord from other places, one is to celebrate the founding of the city, and the other is to have a good harvest in the coming year

Mo Chu walked alone on the street, shuttling through the crowd of people coming and going, and his figure was slightly thin. At this time in previous years, it was his grandfather who took him to watch the play, but this year he is the only one left.

"Steamed buns, freshly baked buns"

"Do you want to buy candy? It's delicious, it's sweet, kids have one." ”

"Mo Chu, where are you going. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy saw Mo Chu come out and asked.

I'll take a look at it.

"That's right, come here and give you something. The shopkeeper said.

Mo Chu was puzzled and walked in.

The shopkeeper took out a wooden box from under the counter and handed it to Mo Chu. When I opened it, it was full of money. Mo Chu was shocked.

"This is your grandfather's medicine money, last time your grandfather gave me a century-old ginseng for me to sell for money, this is not yesterday a rich businessman took a fancy to it, this is asking for money, I have already deducted the commission, you take it back, these are enough for you to live." The shopkeeper explained.

"Okay, then I'll take it," Mo Chu said to the shopkeeper with a smile.

Seeing Mo Chu accept it, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then it's okay, I'll go first. Mo Chu said to the shopkeeper.

Seeing Mo Chu walking out, the shopkeeper said to the guy: "Seeing that he is far away, close the door, I should rush over too." The man nodded, and then the shopkeeper suddenly disappeared into the drugstore.

"It's all out of the way, it's all out of the way. A soldier with a knife shouted outside on horseback, and behind him four horses drove side by side, pulling a carriage. The four horses were tall and mighty, the carriage was graceful and luxurious, and a woman sat on the carriage, wearing a veil on her head, and her face could not be seen clearly, dressed in white, her skin was like congealed fat, and she could be broken by blowing. The fairies above the Nine Heavens are nothing more than that.

"Who is this man?" asked one of them.

Everyone looked at each other.

"At first glance, it's not an ordinary person," there is humanity. In the blink of an eye, I looked over again.

The carriage slowly walked in front of Mo Chu, the woman in the car was the same age as Mo Chu, and when Mo Chu looked at the car, he happened to see that the woman was also looking at him. The woman showed an imperceptible little figure and muttered, "Is that you?"

The carriage walked slowly until it reached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion before stopping.

Mo Chu followed the road he came and returned to the small courtyard.

At this time, the city lord's mansion.

"I saw him. "The mouth of the city lord

"Well, but he hasn't... It was the woman in the carriage who spoke.

"It will be soon, and when he leaves the nameless city, we should go too, and hopefully we will have time to do all this. A middle-aged woman walked in through the door. It was Aunt Chen, and a few people walked in one after another, including the pharmacopoeia shopkeeper, the blacksmith Uncle Zhang, the general Hua, and the old beggar。。。。。 , Soon the room was full of people, and Mo Chu would be surprised to see that people who had no contact on weekdays were all sitting in the same room.

"It's all there, let's get started. The lord of the city was the first to speak.

"The situation is dire," the shopkeeper began.

"Isn't there anything he can do?" said Commander Hua.

"There is one, the city is closed, and when that child grows up, since Mr. has confidence, we should also have confidence, and we have no way to ask for help, and now the strongest in that place is only the Saint King Realm, and no one has broken into the Emperor Realm at all, I have no choice but to gamble." There was a hint of helplessness in the shopkeeper's voice.

"He's eighteen years old, and hopefully he'll grow up as soon as possible. The city lord spoke.

"The Taishang family has paid too much for this world. Someone sighed.

"Seniors, there must be something you brought me here, right?" asked the woman in white.

"We want you to tell him the truth when he grows up, his grandfather... "Aunt Chen was a little sad.

"Don't let anyone other than us know about these things, including your parents, understand?" the woman in white nodded, she knew the seriousness of the matter, but she didn't understand why she was chosen.

She was puzzled, but knew that the people in this room wouldn't tell her.

The people in this room can go out at will。。。。。

"I know what you're thinking, and you'll understand later, I hope we can all live. The shopkeeper said calmly.

"Also, if he doesn't break the king and enter the emperor realm, don't bring him back, remember?" the city lord said slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

After saying that, the woman got up and left, and everyone in the room looked at her departing back, not knowing what to think.

"Let's all go back and prepare, where should we go. After a long time, the city lord slowly spoke, then turned around and walked into the apse, and everyone left one after another.

The hall fell silent for a moment.
