After a while, his mother brought a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickles and two steamed buns, and Xu Hao was lying on the kang in the side room crying silently!

The mother put down the food and touched the back of Xu Hao's head in distress, and said: "Hao'er, don't be sad, all the things that make you sad will one day be compensated for in another way, I believe that my son will always be the best!"

"Mom!" Xu Hao buried his head in his mother's arms and cried: "Why did my face become like this? Why did everyone dislike me, why did you let you bear these cold words for me? Why did even my father hate me?"

"Silly boy, you are our own son, how can we not love you? Your father loves you very much, but his way of loving him is different, don't hate him, he is already very difficult!"

"Well, how can I hate my father, I only hate my fate, I only hate this damn birthmark on my face!" Xu Hao said with a sob.

Xu Hao's mother seemed to have made up her mind, and she said: "Until now, there is still a way for you to go, which may save you from this tragic fate!"

Xu Hao rubbed his eyes and asked in surprise: "What road, as long as it allows me to raise my head and be a good person from now on, let me do anything!"

"Practice, participate in the sect's once-in-a-decade general election!" Xu Hao's mother said with a determined look in her eyes.

"Can I really do it?" Since Huangmu Village and the more than ten surrounding villages have lived at the foot of Qingniu Peak for generations, the people in the village naturally know what cultivation is, and there are very many monks in this world, even the village head of their village is a Dongtian level monk!

"But if you want to become a monk, you must have extraordinary talents, and I heard the village chief inadvertently say that only one out of ten thousand people can become a monk!" Xu Hao whispered unconfidently.

"How do you know if you can do it if you don't try, my mother believes that my dog will not be worse than others, as long as you become a monk, no one will dare to say a bad word about you!" Xu Hao's mother touched his head and said.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try, but the conditions for signing up need to double the tribute within a month!" Xu Hao said.

"Bang!" the door of the room was slammed open, and a tall and drunken figure said: "Double the offering is not something you should consider, tomorrow learn to strike iron with me, we will open the furnace in the morning to make iron, and go to chop wood in the afternoon, isn't it just double the sacrifice of Jiagong!"

"Okay, father!" Xu Hao said excitedly, in his impression, this was the first time his father had been so good to him!

"Hmm!" Xu Daniu nodded, turned his head and went back to the main house, but his change in attitude towards Xu Hao still made Xu Hao very happy!

In the next month, Xu Hao can be described as happy and painful!

I am happy that this is one of the few people who has been taken by my father to work since I was a child, and my father will cut it separately from him when he usually chops wood!

They turned on the furnace in the morning to strike iron, and went to cut trees outside the village in the afternoon, the fire in the yard has not been extinguished, the firewood has been piled high, and the people in the village are a little surprised, what is wrong with this family, why is it so diligent all of a sudden!

And when they learned that Xu Da Niu was going to send Xu Hao to the Qingniu Sect to practice, there was a burst of words about self-estimation in the village, but their rumors did not stop Xu Hao's family, because Xu Hao's father was the only blacksmith in the village, so he didn't have to worry about selling what he made at all, so the life of the family gradually improved, at least meat began to appear on the table, and the porridge slowly became thicker.

This is one of the happiest times in Xu Hao's life, although he is tired every day and can't lift his hands, even when he eats and takes chopsticks, his hands tremble, because he picks up the hammer and smashes it in the morning, and he has to cut a lot of firewood in the afternoon.

The days passed day by day, and a month and a half passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Xu Hao was still in his sleep when he was screamed by Xu Daniu.

Xu Hao rubbed his eyes and looked at Xu Da Niu suspiciously, Xu Da Niu pointed to the firewood in the yard and the beaten iron tools and said, "Hurry up and carry these things to the threshing floor in the south of the village with me, someone from the sect has arrived!"

"What? they've arrived so soon?" Xu Hao was still a little reluctant, he was reluctant to leave the home he had never left since he was a child, and he was reluctant to let his parents, especially this long-lost father's love made him intoxicated!

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and memorize!" Xu Daniu glanced at him and said.

"Okay!"

Those materials that need to be paid tribute are enough to fill a courtyard, Xu Hao and their father and son carried it for most of the day, Xu Hao's mother made a meal of dumplings in the evening, and the family sat at the dinner table for the first time, Xu Hao was a little uncomfortable, and Xu Daniu didn't know what to say.

Xu Daniu took a sip of wine and paused and said: "Dog, work hard, if you become an immortal, our family will really glorify our ancestors, my father has had enough of it for so many years, and he has no fatherly love for you, Dad wants to open it, no matter what your face is, you are my son, and my father will not treat you like before in the future." ”

"Dad, don't worry, the child will definitely be selected and live up to his father's expectations!" Xu Hao's face was red, he was very happy, this was the happiest day he had since he was a child!

The large birthmark on his face looked a little strange in the candlelight.

Xu Daniu took a cup, he filled the two cups, then pushed one of them in front of Xu Hao and said, "Take a sip!"

"Huh, drinking?" Xu Hao said with his eyes wide open.

"Yes, drinking, how can a man not drink?" Xu Daniu pushed the wine glass forward again.

Xu Hao looked at it and then raised the wine glass and took a sip of it, and suddenly his face turned red, and the wine flowed through his throat like a knife, a little spicy, but then he slowly felt a little warm.

"How's that?" Xu Daniu asked!

"It's delicious!"

"Well, it's my son, born in the wine jar. Xu Daniu looked at the ugly son in front of him and didn't seem to be as upsetting as before, he picked up the wine jug and poured it full for Xu Hao and said, "Another glass!"

"Okay, don't let a child drink so much!" Xu Hao's mother said as she snatched the wine glass, she was also very happy today!

"Okay, dog, you remember, my father has no ability in this life, he can only strike iron, this month I have passed on my craft to you, you learn fast enough, it will be good to be more skilled in the future, but if you want to become an immortal, you don't need these, you are now the hope of our family!"

"Well, Dad, I'll work hard!" Xu Hao was a little wooden and couldn't say anything else, only this sentence!

Xu Daniu suddenly thought of something, paused and said: "But if you don't choose, it's okay, Dad taught you to strike iron, it's not bad to be an ordinary person for the rest of your life, Dad once saw those monks, although they are powerful and can call the wind and rain, but they are not happy!"

Xu Hao didn't say anything, but secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must work hard to be selected, and Xu Hao ate more than 20 large plates of dumplings alone, this may be the last time he eats at home!

Early the next morning, the people of the Qingniu Sect came to the village, and it was still the threshing floor.

Xu Da Niu took Xu Hao and waited in the threshing floor early, and there were many families in the same village with them, but those people were not willing to stay with Xu Hao's family, they all hid far away, Xu Hao and Xu Da Niu didn't care after all, they were all used to it!

It was two men in cyan robes, who looked to be in their thirties.

The two of them saw that everyone had almost arrived, and one of them took a step forward and said, "I am Wang Meng, a disciple of the Qingniu Sect!"

The other said, "I'm Li Ping, a disciple of the Outer Refining Sect!"
