Chapter 1 A Quiet Town
Ruofan Continent, a continent that is almost barren.
The barrenness here has lasted for thousands of years. In addition to the sunshine and rain given by the heavens, all that was left here was a little thin Xuan Qi for the cultivation of the ascendants.
No one knows why this place is so desolate......
......
Gangzhen, a small town located deep in the mountains of the western regions of the mainland.
Inside a wooden house on the edge of town.
"Grandma, on such a hot day, there is not much water left, how can people live?" asked a young child.
"Child, bear with me, in a few days it will be the Avan Festival in the town. When the time comes, Grandma will go to the sage in the town to ask for a heat charm, and with that we will be much better off in the house. Grandma said.
"Grandma, what the hell is this anti-heat charm, our family only has two months a year to use. And when this thing first came to ask for something, the effect is getting worse and worse in less than two weeks, and you can only take advantage of the Avan Festival once every three months to get a pair like a saint. I don't want to live like this anymore, grandma......"
"Good grandson, grandma can't stand it, your father and mother left early. This kind of life is really hard for you......" Grandma shook her head, looked at the yellowed charm on the doorbeam, and said sadly.
"Hey, Grandma, who the hell is the Sage? Can I become like him and make such a spell so that we don't have to suffer from the heat? ”
"Silly grandson, do you think that a sage is so good? How many years have there been such a sage in our village, when grandma was young, she couldn't even experience the coolness for two weeks!"
"I don't care, I'm going to be! Good grandma, take me to the Avan Festival to see it! I've never seen a saint look like before, I want to see how he is different from us. The little grandson jumped up from the ground, grabbed the sleeve of his grandmother's coat and shook it desperately.
"Okay, well, my old bones are about to be shaken apart by you. The day after tomorrow, grandma will take you to the Afan Festival to meet this sage, okay, Xiao Jinyan?"
"Grandma is so nice~ I'll go to the forest to find something to eat. ”
......
Two days have passed in a flash, and today is the March Afan Festival in Gangzhen.
Every time the Avan Festival comes, the adult people in the town will come to the only Brahma temple in the town to worship here.
When noon came, the crowd of worshippers in the temple had already assembled.
Hearing the bell ring, a golden-robed man in the main hall slowly stood up from the stone bench.
"Thank you for the gift of Emperor Ruofan, today is the March Avan Festival......"
The golden-robed man began his prayer, and after a prayer he took out a plate of food and respectfully placed it at the foot of the stone statue in the main hall.
"Well, the service is over. Thank you for the gift to me from Emperor Ruofan, now is the time for the Holy One to serve the vast number of fathers and fellow villagers, if you have any needs, please put forward them, and the Holy One will help you as much as possible within the scope of his ability. ”
After all, grandma is old and has some prestige in the town, so she walked out first with Xiao Jinyan.
"Honorable Sage, the old man came with his little grandson to ask for a heat charm. I wonder if the Sage can make one for the old man and his grandson?"
The golden-robed sage smiled and said, "Minor question." ”
"Thank you for the grace of the Sage! Grandma took the heat charm given by the sage, took Xiao Jinyan's hand and prepared to walk outside the hall.
"Uncle, I also want to be like you! I also want to be able to make my own heat-suppressing charm, so that grandma doesn't have to endure the heat of the scorching heat!" Jin Yan's big eyes blinked as he looked at the Sage.
The golden-robed sage smiled and said, "It's good for the little doll to honor her grandmother, but it's not easy to become a person like me!"
Grandma pulled Jin Yan and said, "Silly boy, grandma has half of her body in the coffin, it's enough for you to have this heart, and when you grow up, grandma will find you a good daughter-in-law." Grandma will die without regrets in this life. Let's go. ”
Jin Yan nodded, and although he followed his grandmother, he still looked back at the golden-robed sage in ten steps. Obviously, it is very reluctant.
The grandfather and grandson slowly walked out of the main hall. Holding Xiao Jinyan's hand, Grandma asked, "Child, do you really want to be an Ascendant?"
Jin Yan looked at her grandmother with big watery eyes, with a hint of puzzlement, thought for a while and said: "Grandma, I want to be a person like him, I just want to make our lives better." Able to be fed and clothed without being tortured by the heat. ”
When Grandma heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She remembered what happened more than thirty years ago......
"Let's go, kid, let's go home......"
