Chapter 1: Demons

Next Chapter

Thirteen years ago, Tangshan, who was still in infancy, was rescued from the mouth of a demon beast by a warrior and adopted by a well-wisher family, but his adoptive father and adoptive mother died one after another after taking him in.

The people of the town were angry with him because of this, and regarded him as a demon, a bad star, and an ominous person who had killed his parents.

As soon as the children playing with him provoked him, he would become uncontrollable, his eyes would turn red, and he would lose his mind, like a fierce beast that only knew how to kill, and it took several adults to subdue him, and confirm his name as a demon.

Over time, naturally there were no children of the same age to play with him, only one grandmother was willing to take him in, bringing the only remaining trace of warmth to this child who had suffered in the world, and the two depended on each other, which also made Tangshan a lot of sensible and never caused trouble to grandma.

In the past thirteen years, Tangshan has suffered from the eyes of countless adults and children in Lingshi Town, and even evil children will throw stones at him when they see him, but in order to reassure his grandmother, he never cares about these and does not quarrel with them.

But now, grandma's health is deteriorating, and if there is no interference from external objects, I am afraid that time is running out. Even the cheapest life-sustaining elixir, a century-old spirit ginseng, has to be exchanged for spirit stones, and ordinary currency can't buy it at all.

"Grandma, don't go, don't leave me, I can't bear you. Looking at his seriously ill grandmother, Tang San couldn't help but choke up.

"Silly boy, grandma can't bear you, but mortals will always experience birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the fate of mortals, and there is no way to avoid it. "Grandma said weakly.

"Why, those cultivators can live for three or five hundred years, they can live forever, why am I just an ordinary person, why can't I cultivate, why can't I get the elixir. Why can't I keep my grandmother?" Tang San gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart.

After frying a pair of herbs for his grandmother and feeding his grandmother to drink, Tang Shan ran to a pharmacy in the town in disbelief and looked at the ginseng that could increase longevity.

It's not that he doesn't have the idea of robbing, but he has already tried several times, but every time he is beaten all over his body, and no one is willing to give him a plant, even if he makes a vow that he will return it a hundred times in the future, but in exchange for only severe beatings and merciless ridicule, no one believes that a person like him can afford to pay back the spirit ginseng, let alone a hundred times the return, it is ridiculous.

After packing up the tableware, Tang Shan went to the Liu family's ore vein to carry the spirit stone as always, and he had to carry it for four hours a day in exchange for a day's food for himself and his grandmother.

"He's coming, that demon is coming again, let's go over there, don't touch that monster. Seeing Tangshan coming, the other slaves hurried to the side as if they were hiding from the plague.

Seeing their dodging movements, Tang Shan took the basket and walked to the corner.

He is the little bully here, and many people have bullied him, but none of them have been able to beat Tangshan, so they isolate him.

Lingshi Town, where Tangshan is located, is controlled by four major families, namely the Mu family, which is the strongest, followed by the Li family and the Yuan family, and finally the Liu family, which is at the bottom.

And this vein is the property of the Liu family, and the spirit stone is a necessity for cultivators, so the Li family also attaches great importance to this vein, and the third in command of the Liu family, Liu Tian, the chief manager of the Liu family, is responsible for taking care of it.

There are special people in charge of the mining of spirit stones, and they will count the mined spirit stones one by one, and then hand them over to coolies like Tangshan to be responsible for moving to a designated place.

In addition to Chief Liu, who was in charge of the care, there were also many warriors with whips in their hands and staring at them, and coolies like them didn't even think of snatching the spirit stone.

Looking at the crystal clear spirit stone that had just been handed over to him, Tangshan couldn't help but have a thought, with this spirit stone, he could exchange for spiritual ginseng for his grandmother, and his grandmother's longevity would be increased by thirty years, and he would be able to stay with his grandmother for a while to repay his grandmother's nurturing grace.

Tang Shan glanced at Chief Liu, who was sitting on a square stone, and Chief Liu was closing his eyes at this time, as if he didn't take these slaves to heart, and he didn't have the courage to steal.

On the contrary, the other warriors frowned angrily one by one, staring at the slaves who received the spirit stones, and the whips in their hands kept waving, making those slaves who dared to have different intentions fearful.

Tang San carefully observed the state of Chief Manager Liu and the warriors, and when he confirmed that no one was staring at him, he quietly hid a spirit stone in his arms....

Suddenly, a stone shot out from Chief Liu's hand, and accurately hit the little hand that Tang Shan had not yet taken out of his arms, followed by those martial artists lashing violently.

"Dare to steal spirit stones under the nose of Manager Liu, Manager Liu is a strong man in the Kaiyuan Realm, and the wind and grass around him cannot escape the eyes of Manager Liu, I think you are impatient. ”

The guards' resentful voices reached Tang Shan's ears, but the whip in his hand was swinging harder, ignoring that Tang San was only a thirteen-year-old child.

Tang San silently thought in his heart, "Kaiyuan Realm, Kaiyuan Realm, if I am stronger than him, if I am stronger than everyone in the town, I will be able to keep my grandmother." In the blink of an eye, Tangshan lost consciousness.

"Dare to steal the spirit stone, take it back, tie it to a pillar over there, and hang it for a day to warn those who have the idea of stealing. Manager Liu announced the result lightly.

Tangshan was hung on a pillar until late at night, when he was let down by an old slave he had helped. When Tangshan woke up, his whole body was hot, his back was even more open, and there was no intact skin on his back.

Tang Shan lay on the bed and endured severe pain, but he didn't say a word, because he was afraid of waking up his sleeping grandmother. Tang San did not resent Mr. Liu and the warriors who whipped him, but was thinking about the magic of the warrior, Mr. Liu obviously did not open his eyes, but he could sense his movements, and every time the realm of the martial artist entered the realm, the longevity could increase, and after reaching the extremely deep realm, he could even obtain eternal life.

Tang Shan's heart is desperately eager to become a martial artist, because power can allow him to have everything, can be respected by everyone, and will not be discriminated against by others, even if they have this meaning in their hearts, they must also be respectful, dare not be noticed by him, and no one will look at him blindly, this is the benefit of strength, and the boy's desire for power at this moment has reached the extreme.

Tang San fell asleep with a thirst for power.

The next day, although Tangshan was scarred on his back, he still got up very early, this is Tangshan's habit for many years, no matter how late he slept he would wake up on time, the wound on his back was still hot and stinging, but it was much better than yesterday, his wound had scabbed.

This is the second point that Tang San is unusual, his self-healing ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and it can even be comparable to the recovery ability of those Forging Body Realm martial artists.

Endured the stinging pain from the wound in his back, and after a period of busyness, he and his grandmother's meals were busy. Tangshan decided to go to the Liujia vein because there was only one place to make a living.

Looking at the immature back of the departing young man, grandma said silently in her heart.

"O hard-working child, he has not enjoyed a trace of happiness since birth, and he has to be dragged down by my old lady. ”

When he arrived at the mine, the supervising warriors were no longer yesterday's group, but Chief Liu was still sitting on the stone platform. He didn't act because of his coming, nor did he stop him because of yesterday's stealing, perhaps because he felt that he couldn't make waves, or maybe he was punished yesterday. As long as Mr. Liu does not interfere, then today's labor is effective.

Tang San didn't have the idea of stealing again today, and he already knew the power of the martial artist. Although Tang Shan's body doesn't look strong, there is an explosive power hidden in this thin body. The clothes were already soaked with sweat, and before I knew it, the four hours were over.

"Do you know? The demon beasts over there in Fengyun Ridge have been very dishonest recently, and many martial artists who hunt demon beasts have been in bad trouble. ”

"Who knows what kind of madness these demon beasts have, do you think there will be any treasures born, usually those demon beasts don't have such a big movement. ”

"Don't think about it so much, with the strength of our Forging Body Realm, even if there is a baby, it will not be our turn, and those demon beasts are not easy to mess with, and they are just cannon fodder. Why risk your own life for those unwarranted treasures. ”

"Yes, treasures are such things, and more importantly, fate, if there is no fate, those old monsters can kill us even if they die for a long time. ”

The two guards chatted with each other.

Listening to the chat between the two guards, Tang San had an idea in his heart, if he stayed in the town like this, didn't look for opportunities, and didn't make some changes, then his whole life might be like this. It is impossible for his fate to change, and my grandmother's longevity may not last long. You have to make a change and give it a go.

When I returned home, I lied to my grandmother, saying that I was going to the periphery of Fengyunling to look for spiritual ginseng. Grandma has been at home for a long time, so naturally she will not know that Fengyun Ridge is now rampant with demon beasts, and many warriors in the ridge dare not go.
