But as soon as the village chief took two steps, he saw a middle-aged man rushing to the child's side and tying the baby's umbilical cord with a thin rope. With a slight strain, the child's bleeding umbilical cord shortened, he took off his coat, supported the child's back with one hand, and tucked the clothes under the child with the other. Fold on the left, fold on the right, and drag it down, although it is very clumsy, but very careful, for fear of hurting the child.

In a short time, the striped baby was tightly wrapped by him. Holding his back with his left hand and supporting his buttocks with his right hand, he held the child in his arms as soon as he exerted his strength.

The village chief asked differently: "Dumb, do you want to adopt this child?"

The man dotted the small brain into a line.

The village chief ordered the men to bury the family, and called the mute to his side.

The village chief looked at the mute man holding the child in his arms in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while. After thinking for a long time, the village chief said: "In the future, you will be responsible for raising this child, and if you have any difficulties, you will come to the village." ”

The mute told the village chief with a resolute gaze, "I will raise it."

The village chief waved his hand and ordered: "Okay, you go back first, remember to boil some hot water and bathe the child." ”

The mute nodded slightly, and turned back to his house. After taking a bath, Fang Ze fell asleep quickly, sleeping very soundly and sweetly.

That night, when the whole village fell silent, a man appeared above the village. This person was dressed in a purple robe, with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the front end of the robe, and a golden silk gossip Taiji diagram embroidered on the back. The body of 1.90 meters is stepping on the colorful auspicious clouds. His hair was draped behind his back, and his face was neatly covered with a black beard. There was a Tai Chi sigil in the center of his eyebrows, and his eyes were shining with light. He looked at the house where Fang Ze lived, and the depths of his eyes revealed an imperceptible murderous aura.

This person is a Golden Dragon Dao person under the command of the Lord of the Great Thousand Realms, and he is a nine-star peak cultivator. This time I came here because the domain lord ordered him to kill the outsiders. The Golden Dragon Daoist stretched out his fingers and pinched the law decision, wanting to attract the heavenly thunder to kill Fang Ze. In fact, for a scumbag like Xiang Fang Ze, who lacks combat power, he only needs to attract a trace of spiritual power to kill. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky are condensing, and a thunderbolt is brewing.

It was originally a kill without suspense, but what the people of the Golden Dragon Dao didn't expect was that a sudden wind blew away the condensed dark clouds.

The Golden Dragon Daoist looked confused, but he also knew that this wind was not simple. There must be a master standing in the way, so he asked loudly: "Why is Daoist friend so leisurely and Yaxing come here to watch the excitement?"

The voice of the Golden Dragon Daoist traveled far away, but the other party did not reply.

Jin Long continued to ask: "Daoist friends can break my spells unknowingly, which shows that Daoyou is not an idle person. I am the Great Thousand Domain Lord, sit down and be a member of the Golden Dragon Dao, and I dare to ask where Dao Friend is sacred? I will also go back and report to the Domain Lord. After speaking, the Golden Dragon Daoist arched his hand in the direction where the wind came.

After waiting for a long time, there was no sound coming from that direction, and the golden dragon was very annoyed. I thought to myself, "You, you have nothing to do." I'm in a dilemma now, and I can't continue to attack. If I leave now, then I'm not going to be laughed at by others?

Just when the Golden Dragon Dao people were in a dilemma, a voice came from nine heavens away. "Xiao Jin, go back, there's nothing for you here. ”

As soon as the Golden Dragon Daoist heard the voice, he knew that this was his own domain master, and thought: "It seems that the other party is not small, and there is no need for me here." Before leaving, the Golden Dragon Daoist glanced at the house again, then turned around and flew away

Nine days away, two golden carriages met head-on. The two of them did not get out of their carriage, but only communicated with each other.

A middle-aged man's voice asked, "Haven't you been in retreat, why are you so interested in meddling in things?"

An elderly person's voice replied, "It's been too long to retreat, come out and see what the world has become like for you." ”

"That's not what you should be in charge of, you're not the domain owner anymore. The middle-aged man's voice continued to be heard.

"Yes, I'm not a domain master anymore, but I'm still a cultivator of the Great Thousand Realms, isn't it?

"You can help and help, but this soul must be destroyed, he does not belong to this world. The middle-aged voice was resolute and cold.

"I can't imagine that after so many years, you are still so stubborn. Although he does not belong to this world, he has the ability to help the world. The old voice said with emotion.

Middle-aged: "What kind of mortal is this? The path of cultivation is life and death step by step, how far can he go? Besides, he is still a spy in the underworld, I will not keep him." ”

Old man: "Hahaha, I didn't expect your pattern to have not grown much." Whatever he is, all you have to remember is that he can help us get back to the top. ”

Middle-aged: "So you're going to protect him?"

Elderly: "I'm just giving us a good relationship with the world, just give me a face, I'm also old." ”

Middle-aged: "You are an old immortal, I will give him twenty years to see how far he can go." ”

Old man: "That's the old man, thank you here, Lord Domain, hahaha." ”

Middle-aged: "Old thing, it's probably not good to be with you." ”

After speaking, the Lord of the Great Thousand Domains ordered his servants to drive away.

And the old man glanced at Fang Ze, talked and whispered: "I have won a glimmer of life for you, and the debt owed to you in my previous life has been paid off." You're on your own in the future, take care. As the voice weakened, the old man's carriage also drove away to the other side of the sky.

The morning sun was still so bright, and a resolute and thin figure walked in the glow of the sunrise.

The mute came to the village chief's house and rented two dairy sheep from the village chief with most of his savings. The lease was for three years, and the mute thought, "Even if the child can eat again, two goats will be enough." "This is what he thought about last night, and a big man can't solve the problem of feeding. Without milk, the child will starve to death, and with this goat's milk the child can live.

The two goats moved inexplicably, and the dumb man built a simple sheepfold out of mud and sticks.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Fang Ze woke up from his deep sleep again, and only then did he know that this mute man was his adoptive father. Fang Ze couldn't help but show disgust and disdain, and thought: "The one who raised me is actually a dumb person, looking at the furnishings at home, it's a poor mess." ”

The mute lives on the west side of the village, and since the mute is unable to communicate with the villagers, it is far away from the village housing complex. The village did not allocate the corresponding ration land to the mute, because the mute's cousin usurped the ration land that belonged to him. And in every possible way to drive him out of the village, the dumb man is also helpless about this.

This is a house made of mud and straw, and it is more than 40 square meters. A master bedroom, a kitchen, a warehouse. The master bedroom has two chairs, a table with lots of wooden cutlery on the table. The master bedroom has no bed, but there is a kang that can warm the whole house when winter comes. The kitchen has a stove with a large black cauldron on it, which stands next to the stove when not in use.

The home of the dumb was clean and spotlessly clean. The mute's hands were very skillful, and it took a day and a night to make a small cradle for Fang Ze. This is a problem for mutes who have not coaxed a child, and when the child cries, he puts it in the cradle and waits for the child to fall asleep peacefully.

During the day, when the mute man wanted to work in the fields, he carried the child on his back and led the two goats. The sheep are tended while farming, and if the child is hungry, let the child suck the milk of the ewe. The land cultivated by the mute was the poorest in the village, not the village ration land to be exact. It was the mute who cultivated it himself at the foot of the mountain, and in the village the mute had a cousin, but they had not been in contact for many years. For his cousin, when he divided the property, had embezzled the land of rations that belonged to the mute. At one point, the mute had to be driven out of the village, but he had no choice but to move to a farther part of the village.

Fang Ze, who was full of food and drink, lay on the mute's back, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

"I am not dead in this calamity, and I will have a blessing in the future. Anyway, it's nothing, so it's better to start cultivating first. It is estimated that no one will start cultivating in their mother's womb, and if the progress is fast, it is possible to reach the nine-star level before the age of twenty. ”

Thinking of this, Fang Ze flipped through the "Treasure Book of Heaven, Earth, Ghosts and Gods" in his mind.

Most of the cultivation techniques recorded in this treasure book are first-order and second-order cultivation techniques, and with this cultivation method, you can at most cultivate to the level of the early three-star stage, and if you want to advance again, you need to change to a higher level of exercises. There is a sixth-order exercise, which can be cultivated to the middle stage of the six-star. The name said: "Hundred Ghosts and Gods", but the cultivation method is too terrifying, and Fang Ze doesn't want to practice.

In the entire universe, the cultivation levels are divided into early and late stages. The early stage can be divided into nine star levels, and each star level has three stages. Above the consummation of the nine stars is the return of all sources to the truth, and after entering the realm of returning to the truth, it is divided into: earth element, heavenly element, astral body, five souls, eight lives, and white sun ascension. As for the realm after the ascension, no one knows, and it is incomprehensible to mortals at that level.

And in the universe, there is also a hierarchical distinction between cultivation exercises. The early stage is divided into nine levels, and the star rating corresponding to each level is different. The ninth-order exercises can make people grow from the beginning to the nine-star, and for the fourth- and fifth-order exercises, the five-star realm is already the limit. However, there are also those who are amazing and brilliant and can create their own exercises to break through barriers. But that's not easy to say, not one in a million.

Before the First Star Realm, cultivators needed to feel the existence of the aura of heaven and earth. Only by feeling the aura of heaven and earth can the aura be introduced into the sea of dantian qi. Before this primordial stage, it is also divided into three levels: the first element, the middle element, and the return element.

Chu Yuan felt the existence of the aura and pondered the nature of the aura.

Zhongyuan feels the changes in the aura and can override the aura of the outside world.

Guiyuan incorporates the aura into the body, refines the muscles and bones, warms the soul, and uses it for his own use.

For cultivators, aura is only one aspect, and a truly powerful person needs to cultivate realm, spirit, and qi at the same time. The realm and perception determine the achievement of cultivation, and the soul power condenses the divine stone to conceive and nourish the primordial spirit, and masters the use and storage of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If you can't practice the three realms together, it's okay to cultivate the aura alone, but that kind of achievement won't be very high.

Just like the golden cicada at the beginning, if he can't understand the realm of smiling flowers, he will choose to re-enter reincarnation and practice again. In order to be able to improve the realm and make the cultivation improve again.

After a painstaking search, Fang Ze chose an exercise called "Xuanling Shangfa". This is the only exercise that can give him his expectations, and it is also the last exercise. This exercise was created by a great power in ancient times. There are thirteen articles in total, divided into: spiritual recipe chapter, star recipe chapter (one star change, two star change, three star change, four star change...... ), return to the truth, spiritual change, and mystical true self. Although this exercise is only a fragment, it only writes about the two star changes of the star recipe chapter. But it is not difficult to see that if this is a complete exercise, then its value will be immeasurable.

The reason why Fang Ze chose this exercise was because it had high requirements in the early stage and a good foundation. Compared with other exercises, he does not pursue rapid ascension in the early stage, but pays attention to the height of the realm and the warmth of the soul. Even if the cultivation fails, the soul will not easily dissipate. And the more you cultivate to the later stage, the faster you will improve. Besides, this is a remnant exercise, and there will definitely be a chance to complete it in the future.

Maybe that's how people are, the hope of the unknown is always so tempting compared to the known despair.
