Hu Xu was an orphan whose parents starved to death in the turmoil of war when he was very young. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In order to survive, he did everything, stealing, asking for food, doing child labor, etc., as long as he could survive, he even grabbed food with dogs, and stole the corpses of refugees who starved to death on the side of the road, at that time there was only one wish in his heart, that is, to live.
In a remote town in Qinglanzhou, because of a chance encounter, Hu Xu met Song Jin, who also made a living by stealing and begging. Since then, they have become inseparable companions, stealing together in the town during the day, and sleeping together in a broken grass house outside the city at night.
Later, Zheng Xingshan, Qiu Zhiqiang, and Zhang Shijun also joined one after another, and they became a small group. Covering each other, with a clear division of labor, and each performing its own responsibilities, slowly they became masters of thieves and robbers, and the days of starvation were finally over, although they still lived in the broken grass house that could no longer be broken, but they felt that they had found a way out, a way to live.
But one night, the earth rolled over for no reason, and the whole town was like a toy, ravaged by a big invisible hand, and in a moment it became fragmented, and everything was scattered everywhere like tiny dust. The attic houses, with their tens of thousands of residents, were buried in a short period of time by several feet of rocky soil. The five children, who were shocked, looked at all this stupidly, they didn't know what was going on, why the invisible hand was destroying the town so much, and they didn't know how they would live in the future.
When they came to their senses from the shock, something strange happened, and an old man with a ragged white beard fell from the sky. The five children were frightened by the sudden scene, they huddled together, their bodies trembling, their hearts beating violently, and they could blurt out at any moment.
After a long time, Hu Xu, who thought he was the most courageous, slowly leaned over under the embrace of the other four children, and slowly turned over the white-bearded old man who had fallen into a human shape, and saw that his hands were covered with blood, clutching a few books, a few books that were somewhat dark brown.
Tremblingly, he pulled out the books from the old man's hand, and before Hu Xu could open them and take a look, a creepy feeling immediately made him cold. Suddenly, I turned around and saw a pair of eyes in the dark sky, staring coldly at this place. These eyes are like heaven, people can't help but kneel and worship when they look at each other, these eyes are like hell, and the cold gaze makes people feel that everything in the world is full of ants in front of it, and it can be easily killed.
The eyes disappeared after a short flash, and the frightened five children didn't care too much, after all, they still survived, and no matter how terrible the cold eyes were, it didn't matter if they didn't hurt them. Subsequently, they divided the books equally, and Hu Xu got two copies because he was the head of five children, and the other children each got one each.
A year later, they were in another town. In order to survive, they took out one of the books and sold it to a poor Xiucai who made a living by writing, exchanged it for twelve copper coins, and ate a hot steamed bun. However, the smart Hu Xu saw extraordinary shock and excitement in the eyes of poor Xiucai, an expression that seemed to be happier than getting gold. Although Poor Xiucai covered it up well and bluffed the five children at that time, the delicate Hu Xu still found the problem when he was eating steamed buns. How could a poor showman, who couldn't even eat enough to eat, spend a day writing and earn a few copper coins at most, how could he so generously take out twelve copper coins and buy a book that he couldn't understand at all from five big children? Thinking of this, Hu Xu took his brothers and returned to the place where Poor Xiucai was writing, but it was already empty, and Poor Xiucai didn't know where to go for a long time.
Whether it was a chance or a coincidence, the five people who were stealing at the city gate that evening suddenly found that Poor Xiucai was carrying a burden and sneakily went out of the city. Hu Xu took his brothers and hurriedly followed, and stopped him in the woods. After a period of beating, Poor Xiucai finally told the truth, this is a book of immortal arts that can make people immortal. After a not-so-long shock, the clever Hu Xu reached an agreement with Poor Xiucai, and the book was given to him, but they were to live together for the next three years, the five children were responsible for eating and drinking, and Poor Xiucai was only responsible for teaching them literacy.
From that day on, Hu Xu and his five children embarked on the road of cultivating immortals. Poor Xiucai had no spiritual roots, and three years later, he was brutally killed by five people who had learned something. The five children all have spiritual roots, and each of them has cultivated the immortal art technique that they have been assigned to, and they are officially worshiped as brothers with different surnames. Hu Xu got two books, one of which was sold to Poor Xiucai, but these two immortal arts exercises contained a huge secret, a secret that could rely on taking the essence of immortal cultivators and make his cultivation progress by leaps and bounds.
Three hundred years later, Hu Xu and the five of them officially joined a third-rate immortal cultivator sect in Qinglanzhou. At that time, they had all reached the foundation building period, and they all successfully became the elders of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, with the power they could use and the convenience of doing whatever they wanted.
After another three hundred years, relying on that perverted method, their cultivation reached the stage of knotting, and they very smoothly eradicated the dissidents in the sect, seized power, and officially established the Five Poison Sect.
In the following two hundred years, on the one hand, they fought in the east and west, under the slogan of righteous words, annexed a number of small sects, and on the other hand, they secretly refined those captured immortal cultivators into Jingyuan Dan that could greatly improve their cultivation, until their cultivation reached the Yuan Infant Stage, and the Five Poisons Sect also became the top gate sect in Qinglanzhou at that time.
During this period, Hu Xu also dreamed many times, dreaming of those eyes that frightened him, and always felt that there was some secret hidden in them, but he had been stunned by the ensuing harvests, and he completely lost his mind. Raising his arms and shouting, he raised the rod, stirred up the entire Qinglan Continent's immortal cultivation world, and launched a life-and-death battle with the monks of Luyang Continent, but because of the wrong decision, the three brothers were killed on the spot, and he could only launch the secret technique and escape Yuanying.
It was also night, and those eyes appeared again in the dark air, still so terrifying, still so cold, when looking at themselves, it was still like looking at ants, nothing had changed. This made Hu Xu disheartened, and he had the idea of retiring, and living peacefully and steadily became his goal again.
However, it was very fortunate that in the process of escaping, he found the head of the Baicaomen Qinglong who was also seriously injured. The effortless relinquishment, the unusually smooth return to the mountain, and the impeccable performance made the once silent mind come alive again. This time, though, he was careful. First, he arranged for his henchmen and disciples to find his separated brother, and then personally went to Qinglanzhou to discuss with those sects that had once attached to him, and then sent a large number of people to inquire about all kinds of news, and at the same time constantly assassinated immortal cultivators and refined Jingyuan Dan. In just a hundred years, he not only completely recovered from his injuries, but also directly reached the peak of the early stage of Yuan Infant from the beginning of his cultivation, and various arrangements and deployments in other aspects were also interlocking, and there was no leakage.
However, in the face of everything in front of him, he suddenly found that the experience of thousands of years was nothing more than a farce, and he was a self-proclaimed clever clown who was trying to perform joys, sorrows, and sorrows. After the purple-clothed old man realized it, the moment he opened his eyes, Hu Xu understood that the eyes that looked at him in the dark thousands of years ago belonged to him, and the eyes that looked at him in the dark a hundred years ago also belonged to him, from the day he got the immortal exercises, he and his brother have become the dolls of the owner of these eyes, everything was deliberately arranged by him, and even the destruction of that remote town and the fall of the white-bearded old man were all part of his strategy, in order to make his immortal cultivation go further.
It took a thousand years to plan for this small step, killing countless people, including disciples, friends, and relatives. This is the cruel world of cultivating immortals, the weak eat the strong, strength is supreme, when you can't control everything, you are someone else's pawn, you can play you how you want, but when you dominate everything, you find that there is no one else around you, because this process is too difficult and painful. Disciples, friends, relatives, if you don't sacrifice them, your plan will not succeed, you will not be able to control the situation, let alone succeed.
Yan Xiaoyi, the Supreme Elder of the Luoyun Sect, the descendant of the three major disciples of Shennongzi, he sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of immortal cultivators in Luyang, the lives of his own disciple Qinglong, and the life of the white-bearded old man who should be his closest relative, so he won, and he had the last laugh. As for what the process is, it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, the result is already in front of you.
Hu Xu glanced lightly at Li Liang, who was squatting on the ground and holding the hind legs of the donkey, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. This silly boy who trembled when he saw each other and crawled to the ground and kowtowed, is trying to survive. When he was very young, he also used to beg for mercy in order to survive, but that was not shameful, but human nature, a gift from heaven. If you hadn't separated those books at that time and left directly, maybe life would still be hard, but it would never make people calculate, nor would you let your good brother die in vain, let alone let these dark eyes become your nightmare.
"No wonder, no wonder he doesn't want to cultivate immortals, no wonder he only wants to farm, it turns out that he has already seen through it. Xiuxian asked, Hehe, it's just a nightmare, I hope that in the next life, I can become an ordinary person, guarding a few acres of thin fields, watching my daughter-in-law and children, spend my life in peace, and don't struggle in this bloody world of cultivating immortals. Hu Xu's shocked expression completely subsided, and was replaced by a resolute, mighty spiritual pressure constantly emanating from his body, even exceeding the limit of his cultivation.
"Old friend, you can go, you don't have to avenge me, find a remote place to live the rest of your life honestly. Hu Xu looked directly at the eyes of the old man in purple, and said to Song Jin with an indifferent face, he had already made up his mind, and this time he must not let those eyes harm people again.
However, Hu Xu didn't notice that the Lotus Dao people of Phoenix Valley were staring closely at Tang Jian, the Flame Gate who had failed in the fighting method and fled in the wilderness with the same eyes at this time, and in the darkness, when the thunder and lightning were shining, those eyes looked very cold and terrifying.
