"Xiaofan is back, why is it so late today? I'm hungry, my mother will give you a hot meal." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" An old woman whose face was covered with vicissitudes was washing her clothes in the yard, and when she saw Gu Fan come in, she immediately wiped her hands on her body, and said with a kind smile on her face. Next to him, an old man with gray hair was fetching water from a well.

"No need mother, the child has already eaten. Gu Fan's slightly tired heart calmed down after seeing his mother's smiling face. Quickly snatched the rope from the old man's hand, pulled out a bucket of water from the well, and poured it into the wooden basin beside his mother.

"Xiao Fan, what's wrong with you, are you fighting again?" After getting closer, the mother quickly saw the tattered clothes and bruises on Xiao Fan's body, and asked nervously.

"It's okay mother, don't you think this is good?" Gu Fan hurriedly patted his chest fiercely, and then said happily: "The fairy of the Hundred Medicine Gate has already given me medicine, just sleep." And to tell you the good news, I was recruited by the Hundred Medicines Gate, and from then on I will be a disciple of the Hundred Medicines Gate, and my father will no longer have to endure hardships and farm. In the future, my son will let you live a good life!"

The old woman was pulling away Gu Fan's hand and patting her in distress, rubbing Gu Fan's chest, and after hearing this, her eyes widened and asked, "Xiao Fan, what you said is true?" The old man also looked at his son in surprise, although his son never lied to the second elder.

"Well, today we have made a contribution to helping the Hundred Medicine Gate collect medicines, and as soon as the fairy of the Hundred Medicine Gate is happy, they will recruit the three people who have collected the most medicine as disciples as rewards. Skinny Monkey and Shanzi went in with me. Gu Fan explained to his parents with a smile.

"Hehe, that's really good, our Xiaofan will have a future from now on. The old woman smiled, and then remembered something, turned back to the old man and said: "Old man, Xiaofan is not young now, and now he can be regarded as a career, it is time to tell him a daughter-in-law." ”

"Yes, yes!" the old man, who had not spoken before, was also full of happiness.

"Ah, mother, I'm still young, don't worry about this, don't worry. Gu Fan looked at the old mother with a kind smile on her face, and suddenly exclaimed, I didn't expect the good news to attract such a "surprise".

"It's not small, it's not small, don't learn from that Hou Tian as a whole shouting something, 'The big husband hasn't established a business yet, why should he be a family', you see that the two boys of your Uncle Wang's family are as old as you, and the children are all full moon. The old woman looked unimpressed by Gu Fan's words.

"Ah, that mother, I'm a little tired today, I'll go back to sleep first, and I'll get up early tomorrow to report to Baiyaomen." Gu Fan was really frightened, and quickly found an excuse to sneak towards his own hut in the west of the courtyard.

"Haha, this kid is still embarrassed. The second elder looked happily behind him, a good son who had finally grown up.

Gu Fan lay on his simple wooden bed, and the bright moonlight sprinkled his face through the window lattice. He stared at the wooden beams on the roof with wide eyes, remembering what had happened that day, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Even when I was twelve, the shock of what my father told me was nothing compared to what happened today.

Entering the death forbidden area of the fog area and successfully coming out, he collected a lot of elixirs beyond his own cognition, helped Shanzi find a medicine that could cure his mother's illness, joined the Hundred Medicine Gate and became an outer disciple, and finally had the possibility of learning spells for cultivation, but this joy did not last long before it was ruthlessly shattered...... Yes, and I got to know the old dragon who seemed to exist only in dreams and minds. Hmm, what about the old dragon, why is it so quiet?

"I'm here. The old dragon responded in a timely manner. Ever since it confirmed the fact that Gu Fan couldn't cultivate spells, it had been silent. Although he was really depressed when he was tossed by Gu Fan at the beginning, he still didn't understand his situation, but when he saw Gu Fan not hesitate to let go of his chance to realize his dream and leave it to his brother, he suddenly felt that this young man was not bad. Is it really impossible to cultivate?The old dragon wanted to help Gu Fan, but even though it desperately searched for its chaotic memories, it didn't seem to be able to find a similar situation or a possible solution.

"Old Dragon, talk to me, I said you can listen. Regardless of whether the old dragon promised him or not, Gu Fan rolled over, quietly slipped out of the house, climbed onto the roof, sat on the beam in the middle, and looked at the stars. This roof is also the place where Gu Fan has been most frequented since he was a child. In the dead of night, he likes to climb up and watch the starry sky.

"Old Dragon, have you also heard of the places I told Senior Sister Qingluo today?" Recalling Lao Long's request during the day, Gu Fan asked directly in his mind.

"I intuitively know that I might even have been to these places, but you know I can't remember a lot of things about the past now. "Getting this question, the old dragon fell into a headache again, that damn memory.

Gu Fan seems to have gotten used to the old dragon's "confused" state, maybe the old dragon is really old, after all, I haven't heard of anyone who has ever seen a real dragon in reality, although he has only seen it in a dream.

Regarding Gu Fan's "speculation", Lao Long seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to it, and let him think wildly. Just silently spewing white smoke in the dark, looking for those remaining memory fragments.

"Do you know why I want to go to these places?"

"Oh, why?" Old Long was also curious, how could Gu Fan, an ordinary peasant boy, have those unrealistic ideas.

"Because these places are related to my background. Oh, I can't say anything about it, but I have to mention my background when I talk about these places. ”

"Your background?" Old Long was really a little confused at this moment, wasn't the courtyard Gu Fan's father and mother?

"Actually, it's not a secret, I picked it up from my parents' doorstep. My mom and dad never had children, so they adopted me. Because I carried a bag embroidered with Gu Fan's name, my father was grateful to God for sending me to their second elder, so he didn't change my name, and even refused to let me follow his surname, saying that he wanted not to forget his roots, and when he grew up, he would recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Thinking of the second elder's nurturing and loving love for him for so many years, Gu Fan's heart was full of warmth.

"On my twelfth birthday, my dad told me everything he knew about me. On the day I was picked up, it was snowing heavily, and there was nothing with me except a pouch with my name embroidered on it containing the copper coin I am wearing. Gu Fan struggled to remember everything his father had told him about his background.

"My parents thought that someone had accidentally forgotten me at my doorstep, and they waited anxiously for a long time and no one came to claim me. Later, a great monk appeared, saying that according to the bag, no one should want me, and the bag was embroidered with my name. Then he said something similar to picking up the good deeds that I usually do for the second elder, which is the fate of God. Thinking of that monk, Gu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh yes, that monk sang a song before leaving: The end of the world, the abyss of the sky, the top of Kyushu to the highlands. The heart of the ocean, the eye of the sea, the source of the abyss to the depths of things. I can't see through life and death in time and space, the demons and immortals and Buddhism are still chaotic, and the joys and sorrows are hard to break! My father guessed whether it could be the song of the great monk hinting at something, or maybe it had something to do with my life experience, so he tried to write it down. Later, my father asked the teacher at the head of the village, and he couldn't explain it, but guessed that the four sentences sung at the front door might be four place names. Recalling the story he heard on that birthday four years ago, he changed his trajectory since then, and Gu Fan thought it happened yesterday.

"Could it be that you are the illegitimate son of that monk, and you are not at ease when you are left here, come back to fool your father and mother, and then sing a mysterious song to confuse your father and mother?"

"Huh?" Gu Fan was stunned for a moment, since he heard this story, he had never thought about it. Then he smiled, thinking that the old dragon was playing tricks on himself. "Actually, I don't care who my biological parents are, because my father and mother raised me since I was a child, although I can't follow my father's surname, but when I grow up, I will definitely send the second old man to repay the kindness of parenting. ”

"Then why do you want to go to those places?" The old dragon suddenly found out how Gu Fan, this kid, always played cards not according to common sense.

"Because I want to go. ”

"What is the reason!"

"Isn't this reason enough?" Gu Fan wondered, shouldn't he just do it if he wanted to? Gu Fan recalled that when he was a child, although most of the villagers in Yaowang Village were relatively simple, there had been other children who laughed at him for being a wild child since he was sensible, and Gu Fan's way of responding was also very simple, directly solving it with his fists. When he fought all over the village, at least no one of the children of his age dared to make fun of him, and he won his place among his friends with his fists - there were younger brothers like Wang Shan who always followed him closely, and older children like Hou Tian who were willing to take him to play with him.

Gu Fan's father and mother gave him a warm home, and he also liked the village and the people here who raised him. However, every time he looked up at the fog area of Yaowang Mountain, he couldn't suppress his curiosity, what did the top of the mountain look like? What was there in the distance behind the mountains? Well, there should be a town as big as Yaowang Town with so many people. Also, there are a lot of delicious things to eat......

"When I was 12 years old, when my father told me about my background, the only thing I was interested in was the song that the monk sang. My first reaction after my dad finished saying it sounded like the ends of the earth. The furthest place I knew before was Bodhi County, oh, Zhongzhou if I knew it. Now that I suddenly know a few names that no one else knows, I wondered, where are those places? So I had the idea that I wanted to go to these places so that I could live up to my life. Gu Fan's face was filled with a bright smile, and it was this sudden thought that made him really understand what he wanted to do.
