Chapter 2: Orphan Zhang Qiankun

Zhang Xiaoyao had a long, long dream, as if his name in the dream was Zhang Qiankun, he was an orphan, he didn't know who his parents were, and he was picked up by Grandpa Zhang in a baby basin by a small river and brought back to the village at the age of one. I only have a piece of jade pendant with me on the front and a piece on the back, and I grew up in a village called Wagang Village.

There are about 100 families in the village, all dressed in coarse linen clothes, and only one elderly grandfather, Zhang, lives with his brother Zhang Tianqi, who is a year older than him, in a dilapidated thatched hut.

There is a small temple next to the thatched house, called Yiyuan Temple, the temple is dedicated to the Yiyuan Xianjun, the statue of the Xianjun holds the yin and yang in both hands and sits cross-legged, every time there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the people in the village come to worship the Xianjun to bless the village with a good harvest.

The people in the village are poor, there is no income, they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, they basically rely on hunting and farming for a living, the fields have to pay a certain amount of taxes to the government every year, and the remaining grain is barely surviving, there is not much surplus, if there are natural disasters such as drought and floods, the field harvest is basically gone, and you can only eat dried game jerky and wild vegetables to satisfy hunger.

There is only one person in the whole village who can read and write, and Grandpa Zhang writes good characters and paintings, so many children in the village will come to the small thatched house of the Qiankun family to learn to read and write with Grandpa Zhang in front of the Qiankun Apocalypse.

The village chief said: "If you don't know how to read, you will suffer a loss, and you don't even think about entering the sect, if you want to be promising, you must know how to read and quench your body, and only when you go out of the mountains will you have a chance to get ahead." "So the adults in the village respect Grandpa Zhang very much, and by the way, they are also good to both Tianqi and Qiankun, and occasionally Grandpa Zhang's family will receive wild meat and wild vegetables brought by the villagers.

Since the age of five, Qiankun has practiced calligraphy with Tianqi, learned to paint, practiced boxing, piled up, and quenched the body, and the consumption used is basically the lowest level of medicinal materials that Grandpa Zhang bought by writing and selling paintings and game meat to the county seat dozens of miles away every month, and sometimes he will go deep into the mountains to collect some, but the mountains are more dangerous.

Grandpa Zhang is also very strict with Qiankun and Tianqi, every day to practice calligraphy, learn to paint, pile, practice boxing, sometimes I want to faint, but under the strict requirements and encouragement of my grandfather, I also persevered, and finally when the time for exercise came, they would return to the grass house and jump into the medicinal herbs to boil and soak into the big wooden barrel, which was to quench the body and discharge the impurities of the body.

When the liquid medicine was quenched, it was Zhang Qiankun's most enjoyable time, every day was a dusty yard, and the two children didn't know how many wooden stakes they had broken together, just day by day, year by year, without a day of slacking.

In the blink of an eye, Qiankun was ten years old, this day Qiankun went to the top of the mountain under a waterfall to exercise his physical strength according to his grandfather's requirements, standing on the edge of the impact of the waterfall, Qiankun hummed a punch and practiced boxing underwater, but the ten-year-old child grew to a height of one meter five, with yellow muscles and thin muscles, and looked a little malnourished, but the bronze body was covered in a faint energy surrounding, and the muscles were full of explosive power.

Qiankun still punched the waterfall, the waterfall hit the thin body, Qiankun gritted his teeth and persisted, a momentum of not admitting defeat, and gradually moved forward step by step towards the center of the waterfall, adapting to one step at a time, and only walked twenty steps in half a day.

Grandpa Zhang, who was standing under the tree from a distance and watching from afar, sighed and said softly: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, seeing that I don't have a few years left, the root of the disease that fell at the beginning is getting more and more serious, insist until you are older and can take care of yourself, don't die early when you go out of the mountain, I will be relieved." At such a young age, this kind of training can be regarded as strict training in the sect, but without the help of good medicinal materials, the progress is far less than that of the disciples of the sect, but my efforts can only be like this. ”

Gradually, Tianqi and Qiankun became the child king of the village, today take a group of children up the mountain to catch hares, hunt pheasants, and occasionally hunt a mountain deer is also considered luck, because Qiankun and Tiankun have been trained under the teaching of their grandfather since childhood, so every time they go up the mountain, they can hunt twice as much game as other children, which is really enviable.

After another two years, when Qiankun was twelve years old, Tianqi accompanied his grandfather to the county seat to buy medicinal herbs, and Qiankun entered the mountain alone.

The periphery of the mountain is a place where children hunt, the more wild beasts are more powerful, you may encounter bears blind and tigers and other fierce beasts, with Qiankun a good bow and archery, and so many years of refining and practicing boxing, the bold Qiankun entered the inner circle of the mountain, and the more game he encountered, Qiankun was too lazy to hunt small things such as hares, and it was time-consuming to hang on the body trouble, Qiankun walked cautiously to the mountain, and encountered poisonous snakes far away, and occasionally shot one or two with a bow and arrow.

Suddenly there was a commotion ahead, several hares scattered and ran around, Qiankun hid behind a big tree, quietly looking ahead, and in front of him were two black blind men, one large and one small.

Qiankun heard from the villagers that two years ago, a group of eight people in the village went into the mountains to hunt and hunted a black blind man, and four others were injured.

The black blind man's four feet and palms are very valuable in the county, and a bear skin is also a good thing, and the meat can also be exchanged for a lot of food and medicinal materials, which can be described as a treasure all over the body.

But Qiankun didn't dare to move and hid behind the big tree, eight adults can be half injured, not to mention Qiankun alone, at this moment Qiankun hid in the big tree there is a colorful pit viper tail wrapped around the branch, the Qiankun as a prey, is spitting the core, self-rushing Qiankun head, at this critical moment, there is a bear blind in front, there is a poisonous snake in the back, Qiankun found a poisonous snake, it can be described as a dilemma.

Zhang Qiankun hurriedly picked up the bow in his hand and blocked the poisonous snake's blow, and by the way, he threw the downward rushing poisonous snake in the direction of the bear blind, the poisonous snake was caught off guard and bit down, but it happened to bite the little bear blind, the bear blind man whimpered in pain and lay on the ground, and the poisonous snake slipped into the grass and escaped in an instant with a bite.

At this time, the blind bear lying down happened to have poisonous hair, and looked at the blind bear with a whining, so that he had the intention of asking for help, and the blind bear was stunned and saw that his child was injured at the same time, and roared angrily.

The blind man of the big bear happened to see the arm of Qiankun retracting the bow after picking the poisonous snake behind the tree, and rushed directly to Qiankun behind the tree like crazy, walking with strong four hooves, a burst of earth and stones flew behind him, and he pounced towards Qiankun with his mouth open, Qiankun panicked, and was thinking of a way to escape, retreating after running out of the tree, while looking at the surrounding available environment and shelter.

Zhang Qiankun looked at the big black blind man rushing towards him with a big mouth, and resolutely threw the bow in his hand that had accompanied him for several years into the black blind man's mouth, and the black blind man instantly bit off the bow body and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Qiankun rushed towards the body of the little black blind man lying there, and the moment he picked up the little black blind man, the big black blind man struck with a big mouth, and the clothes on the thighs that were pierced and scratched also hung up a layer of skin and flesh, and suddenly Qiankun's thighs were dripping with blood, Qiankun endured the severe pain, and threw the little black blind man he picked up to the big black blind man with a scream, the tiger poison does not eat children, and he didn't believe that the black blind man dared to bite his child.

This throw really worked, the big black blind man rolled over and hugged her child with his front paws, and put it on the ground, but these pauses gave Qiankun precious time to escape, Qiankun ran towards the periphery of the mountain, leaving leaves flying all the way, Qiankun hid in a cave that he usually found in the mountain, and by the way, he dragged some branches and weeds to cover the hole, and then gently gasped, listening to any sounds that might be found in the distance.

After a long time, Qiankun could no longer hear any sound before he carefully came out of the cave, looked at his bloody legs, quickly tore off the pants on the other leg and wrapped a long strip of cloth around the bleeding leg, and then limped towards the direction of the village under the mountain.

At this time, a light voice came out, and then he said: "Whose doll is this, how did this doll faint at the bottom of the mountain? The leg was also injured, this bandage is too rough, it seems that he is bleeding too much, fainted, even if he goes out and touches it once, it is fate, treat it, and then send him home." ”

Zhang Qiankun, who woke up slowly, found himself lying on a big stone next to a small river, but on another big stone nearby, there was a big sister in blue clothes fluttering like a fairy, and the big sister was sitting cross-legged on the stone.

The soft black hair is tied by a blue ribbon at will, the smart eyes look very energetic, the deep and translucent eyes embellished with a pair of thin eyebrows are even more dusty, the small mouth with thin lips and a delicate nose is more fairy, and the pink and snow-white skin with the pink lips set off her spotless, like a fairy outside the sky.

There was a sword beside the fairy, her slender hands holding the scabbard, and she was turning her head to look in the direction where Qiankun was, Qiankun was instantly stunned, is there such a beautiful fairy sister in the world? I feel that the most beautiful peach blossom in the village is less than one percent of the sister in front of me.

"Are you awake?" the fairy sister's smart and gentle voice sounded in her ears.

"Uh... Well.. Zhang Qiankun replied awkwardly.

Zhang Qiankun then said: "Sister Fairy, did you save me? I only know that I fainted as soon as my head sank, and then I don't know anything, Sister Fairy?"

"Hehe... I've already redressed the wound for you, I've been medicated, it's fine, and I'll be able to walk soon. The gentle and agile voice sounded in Zhang Qiankun's ears again.

"Sister fairy, you are the most beautiful and moving fairy I have ever seen. Zhang Qiankun said stupidly.

Zhang Qiankun continued: "That black blind man is crazy, very powerful, and bit me, that's why... Sister fairy, have you seen it?"

The fairy sister said: "Do you mean that little black bear? I can't bear to hurt it, otherwise it will die under my sword if it can't move a move, where is your home? ”

Zhang Qiankun was stunned again and thought: "What? Die under the sword in one move? How powerful is this, and you have to go back to the sect? Does this mean that you want to leave? Every family in the village dreams of letting their children worship in the sect and learn martial arts, so that they can glorify their ancestors, and if they can't do it, they can enter the state government and have a good future, no, the fairy sister is gone, my opportunity is right in front of me, if I meet the big black blind man again, what if the tiger is injured again?" If you die, no one will happen to save you, I will be as powerful as the fairy sister, and I will also cut the black blind man under the sword with a sword, so that I am not afraid of being injured again, and the people in the village will no longer have to be helpless when they encounter the black blind man. ”

Zhang Qiankun has been very smart since he was a child, because he is an orphan, so he can exercise hard enough, and he thought of a good idea.

Zhang Qiankun didn't care about the injury on his leg, jumped up from the big stone suddenly, hugged the fairy sister's thigh, the pain made Zhang Qiankun's eyes full of mist, and then cried and said: " Sister fairy, don't leave me, I have no parents since I was a child, I am an orphan, I was picked up by Grandpa Zhang in the village at the age of one, how I hope to have a mother who loves me, and a father teaches me, but seeing that other children can live happily with their parents, I want to cry every time, and I can only cry secretly, Sister Fairy, you take me back to the sect, I learned martial arts with Sister Fairy, I am not afraid of the black blind, and I can protect my Grandpa Zhang and my brother, I am very diligent, I am not afraid of hardship. ”

Ay... The fairy sister sighed, and said softly: "That's it, if you don't want to go back, you don't want to go back, I don't know if it's right or wrong to take you back to the sect, what happens in the future, it depends on your creation." ”

When Zhang Qiankun heard the fairy sister say this, he cried with joy in a blink of an eye, and cried again, thinking that he would have to separate from Brother Tianqi and Grandpa Zhang in the future, he felt a little sad, but when he thought that the fairy sister could kill the black blind man with one sword, his heart became firm again.

Then Zhang Qiankun accompanied the fairy sister back to the village and saw the thatched house at the entrance of the village, Zhang Qiankun shouted loudly: "Grandpa Zhang, Brother Tianqi, I will bring the fairy sister to see our home." After shouting two sentences, no one responded, obviously Grandpa and Brother Tianqi have not come back yet.

The fairy sister glanced straight at the Yiyuan Temple, slowly approached the statue of the Yiyuan Immortal King, and walked straight into the temple, and suddenly a bead hanging on the chest of the fairy sister suddenly shot a blue light to the little finger of the right hand of the god who no one cared about, the fairy sister found this change, reached out and touched the little finger, and then trembled all over, and the beads on the chest flashed blue and yellow, and then returned to normal.

Zhang Qiankun glanced at the abnormal fairy sister and said worriedly: "Sister fairy, are you okay?" This small temple The children in our village often lie in the temple to sleep and hide and seek, and the fairy monarch will not blame, the fairy sister made up her mind, turned around and walked out of the Yiyuan Temple with Zhang Qiankun.

Zhang Qiankun took out the pen and paper he carried with him, and was writing a letter on the stone table in front of the thatched house, ready to leave it to Uncle Wang next door, and asked him to pass it on to Grandpa Zhang when he returned.

The letter reads: "Grandpa Zhang, Brother Apocalypse, I met the fairy sister of the big sect at the bottom of the mountain, the fairy sister can kill the black blind man who can only be hunted by eight people in the village with a sword, I want to go to the sect to learn art, and I can also kill the black blind man with a sword in the future, then I will be able to protect Grandpa Zhang and Brother Tianqi well, the people in the village dream of worshipping the big sect, this opportunity was touched by me, they must be very envious of me, if I can, I will often come back to see grandpa and brother, I don't want grandpa, you will work so hard to sell calligraphy and paintings to us to change medicinal materials and quench the body, I must study art hard, and become a big hero in the future, return to the village and let grandpa you and Brother Tianqi live the life of people in the county, Grandpa and brother, take care of you, I'm not here, Brother Apocalypse, you have to take good care of grandpa for me, don't read it, don't be filial to your grandson, leave a word. Since then, Zhang Qiankun and the fairy sister have gone to the sect thousands of miles away.
