Chapter 1: Ren Xiaochen
The sunset is over, and the crescent moon caresses the world. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The breeze is cool, and the leaves are falling and yellow. The torrent rushed through the mountain stream, like the roar of a dragon, and like its wailing and pouring voices, it drifted in all directions. The low mountains on the banks of the Heihong River stretch and rise for hundreds of miles, and there is the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom over the mountains. The Jin Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom and the Jiang Kingdom are both bounded by the Heihong River, which can be regarded as a natural barrier, and they are safe and sound. On one of the shortest hills, not far from the mountain stream, there is a small village, scattered with only a dozen households. In the small courtyard of the fence of the earthen house, the smoke of the cooking is curling at the moment.
A six- or seven-year-old boy dressed in burlap ran away from the fence yard of his house. Then a woman's anxious voice came from the courtyard: 'Don't run around, 'Don't run around. Come back early',,
The original name of this little boy was Ren Daring, between the poor mountains and bad waters, here have been hunters for generations, and no one knows the big characters. The name Ren Xiaochen. It was the work of a gray-haired old man. The old man is also an outsider, and he was still rescued by a big fart and came back.
The old man knows everything and can do anything. He also has a fairy-like ability, so the people in this small village call him an old fairy.
Ren Xiaochen didn't reply, only shouted 'I know', and ran away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
At the edge of this small village sat a thatched hut, and on the small wooden pier outside sat an old man with gray hair, dressed in a shabby blue shirt, with clear and bright eyes, and a folding fan in his hand. His face is full of wrinkles, but it can't hide his young handsomeness and chic.
'Grandpa Jiang, Grandpa Jiang' Ren Xiaochen gasped and sat on the wooden pier opposite the white-haired old man. Ren Xiaochen gasped and just wanted to say something. The old man looked at Ren Xiaochen with an expressionless face and interrupted his words, 'silent'
'Ah,' Ren Xiaochen swallowed what he wanted to say. Adjusted his heavy breathing, moved his little ass from side to side, pouted, and wrote this unhappy all over his face. A small hand reached into the bosom of his burlap coat and pulled out a black speckled gray egg the size of a duck's egg. Carefully, hold it in both hands, and look at it carefully.
The old man looked at the egg in Ren Xiaochen's hand again, and his expression became serious, "When it's okay, don't take it out easily in front of outsiders, the husband is not guilty." Although no one here recognizes what this thing is. But if you're going to be known by someone who knows it. You've caused a catastrophe, and the whole village will die.'
When Ren Xiaochen heard this, he was so frightened that he wanted to cry, and hurriedly stuffed the gray eggs into the old man's hand, "Grandpa Jiang, I don't want the eggs, I will give them back to you" After speaking, he got up and was about to leave.
The old man took the gray egg and let out a sigh, and said slowly, "Why don't you want to learn skills, you don't want to go out of this Bolian Mountain Range to see the breadth and prosperity outside."
As soon as Ren Xiaochen heard that he had learned his skills, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly strode back to the place where he was sitting. Excitedly, he said, 'Then I'll apprentice now.'
'Don't be in a hurry, sit down and listen to me, if you can listen to what I have to say.' You can do one thing. Then I will take you as an apprentice. However, I am very strict with my apprentices, but they have to suffer a lot, you have to think clearly. Even if you can't do it, after all, my life was saved by your little doll, and I will pass on some other skills to you, so that you can worry about food and clothing in the future and don't need to be a master and apprentice. After speaking, the old man stared at Ren Xiaochen with sharp eyes, waiting for his answer.
Ren Xiaochen listened to the old man's words, looked at the old man's sharp eyes, but his heart became apprehensive, and he felt a little scared. The small face is also a little hard to look at.
Just when Ren Xiaochen was thinking crankily in his heart and didn't know what to do, he saw the old man's face and said coldly, "You're afraid."
Ren Xiaochen seemed to be talking about the central matter, and stammered loudly, "No, no, I am afraid of anything, the big black fish in the Heihong River, I dare to go into the water, hit it on the head with a stone, the black fish is the biggest fish in the river, bigger than me" At this point, Ren Xiaochen thought that he was learning from the teacher anyway, what he could learn, no matter what he agreed to talk about first. Big eyes turned left and right, looking at the old man, "Grandpa Jiang, I must listen to your teachings well, what do I do, Grandpa Jiang will accept me as an apprentice?"
The old man took Ren Xiaochen's expression in his eyes and smiled expressionlessly. The little doll has a big breath and is bold in her words. Okay, okay, take the egg' said and handed the gray egg to Ren Xiaochen, looking at him, 'dare not'
Ren Xiaochen's heart also jumped up, hesitated, and still took it head-on. Actually, I came here today to ask how this egg is and it hasn't hatched yet, I've been holding it for months, and this egg hasn't changed at all.
The old man stood up silently and walked back and forth a few steps, and suddenly pointed at the gray egg in Ren Xiaochen's hand with a closed folding fan in his hand, and threw it out. The gray egg came out of Ren Xiaochen's small hand and flew straight to a mountain rock more than ten meters away. Shocked, Ren Xiaochen's face was full of astonishment, and he shouted "My bird's egg", and if he didn't care about anything, he would chase the gray egg that was about to hit the rock. Hearing a dull bang at the rocks, Ren Xiaochen was dumbfounded, and the old man also watched the fragments of the rocks splash everywhere and create a small piece of dust. But his hand pointed to the rocks that had become rubble, 'Go and take the eggs and pick them up.'
Ren Xiaochen reflected at this time, and trotted to find the gray egg. I also feel very sorry and the atmosphere in my heart, the stones are broken, and there are still bird eggs. I don't believe it, but I'm going to check it out. was completely shocked by the old man's exposed hand. The sky was dark, in the bright moonlight. Ren Xiaochen searched among the rocks, and sure enough, he found the gray bird's egg. In disbelief, Ren Xiaochen picked up the bird's eggs and wiped them on his coarse linen clothes, and looked carefully left and right, and it was intact. Only then did the heart that he carried be stable. There was also a look of surprise on the little face. Ren Xiaochen pondered for a moment with the bird's egg in his hand, and said to himself, "How can it be okay? Ren Xiaochen rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, raised the gray bird eggs with both hands and smashed them on the stone next to him, and he heard a bang, and the gray bird eggs rolled down from the stone. Since it's okay. This big discovery really made Ren Xiaochen's child's heart rise. I tried to smash left and right several times. It's a lot of fun.
The old man looked at Ren Xiaochen not far away, smashing left and right, and smiled slightly. He walked over to the wooden pier, and Daniel's clothes sat down again. pondered. He seemed to be convincing himself, 'Well, after all, I owe the life of the little doll, and the little doll dragged me ashore from the river.' That's a lot of strength. Alas. It is enough for me to live for eight or nine years, and since my life is like this, even if my qualifications are not good, it depends on him how much he can learn.
After trying a few times, Ren Xiaochen rubbed the gray bird eggs on the coarse cloth clothes again, and carefully checked them again. Only then did he happily run to the old man and blinked his big eyes, "What kind of bird's egg is Grandpa Jiang, why can't it be broken by such a hard stone?"
This is a very precious fourth-level demon beast, the young egg of the golden-clawed thunder eagle, this eagle is very powerful, spreading its wings for dozens of miles, the eagle is tough and soft with black feathers, and the eagle's claws are golden and can be opened The stone is extremely sharp, and the mouth spits lightning. Your eyes can still see through illusions, and you want to worship me as a teacher, on the condition that you hatch this little golden-clawed thunder eagle. Ren Xiaochen's face was full of embarrassment, and he asked, "How can the young eggs of this golden-clawed thunder eagle hatch when they are harder than stones?"
The old man froze, "Well, there is always a way" Ren Xiaochen was very happy when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "What is the way for Grandpa Jiang?"
The old man looked at Ren Xiaochen and said with a smile: "One word is warm."
Ren Xiaochen wilted as soon as he heard the idea, but he still accepted it hard.
'This golden-clawed thunder eagle hatched, I will let it recognize you as the master, it will be of great help to you in the future, and it can also take you to soar in the sky. This can be regarded as a life talisman that you gave you after your apprenticeship.
Ren Xiaochen listened to it with amazement, worthy of the name of a curious doll. The old man also patiently explained sentence by sentence.
In the middle of the night, Ren Xiaochen lay on the old wooden bed, unable to sleep, and held the young eggs of the Golden Claw Thunder Eagle in his arms tightly, recalling all kinds of bizarre and mysterious things and stories narrated by Grandpa Jiang. Unconsciously, my heart began to yearn for it. The Golden-Clawed Thunder Eagle can hatch, but now the environment is trapped, and it can only be used in the most clumsy way. I don't know how long I've been thinking about it. In a daze, Ren Xiaochen fell asleep. Ren Xiaochen knew in his young heart that maybe he would have a new start from tomorrow.
The early morning sun shone through the window on Ren Xiaochen's face. Mother hugging her three-year-old brother. Wake up, still asleep, Ren Xiaochen. My father went out hunting with a few neighbors. Although the family is poor, they can still have enough food and clothing. Ren Xiaochen had breakfast. I said hello to my mother and went out. A few children from the village frolic and play on the low mountain pass at the head of the village. came up and dragged Ren Xiaochen to play with them, and there was no reason. went straight out of the mountain village and down the mountain,
On a boulder on the bank of the Heihong River, the old man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and told Ren Xiaochen next to him about the benefits and precautions of cultivation. When Ren Xiaochen understood that he would have the opportunity to become an immortal after cultivating, he was very excited, and he was almost about to fall down and have to apprentice. This also made Ren Xiaochen even more fearless of hardships, and began to study and exercise day after day, year after year. Ren Xiaochen sometimes shook his head next to the boulder with a bamboo slip in his hand. Sometimes, they had to find a flat stone in the riverbed, and find the largest stone they could move to another low hill. Six years have passed in a hurry. Ren Xiaochen learned the basic knowledge of identifying medicinal herbs, cultivating true texts, cultivating true texts, and having the simplest method of spitting and running. At this time, Ren Xiaochen was strong and strong, strong and vigorous. The stones that were carried up the mountain had long been built into stone houses by him, and they were paved all over the top of the mountain. Become his training ground.
