Chapter 37: Tuoba Stone

More than 190 years ago, the steppe at the northern foot of the Li Kingdom on the Eastern Zhan Continent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info here is a bitter cold land, poor resources, scarce aura, Shangxuanmen is eager to open up fertile soil to the south, the demon cultivators in the north have long hid in the extreme north spiritual realm, the prairie has become a happy land, the young Tuoba Stone and his father Tuoba Tian live here.

They did not migrate back and forth like the nomadic herders of the steppes, but settled on a hill near the country of LĂŞ, where they made a living by grazing grassland sheep, and were inhabited by more than a dozen herdsmen.

Tuoba Shi is a smart young man, but in this inaccessible and difficult place to make a living, his father Tuoba Tian can only ensure food and clothing for the family, and cannot give him a good education.

When he was eleven years old, he kindly rescued an injured teenage girl while accompanying his father to graze.

This little girl's name is Lu Zhen, she is beautifully dressed and has a very beautiful appearance, not to mention her origin, but only that she was separated from her family by robbers and homeless. Seeing that he was pitiful, Tuoba Shi begged his father to leave her behind. Because of this kind take-in, Tuoba Shi began his tortuous life.

Tuoba Shi and the little girl Lu Zhen are very good, and the herdsmen often joke that Lu Zhen is his little daughter-in-law, and Tuoba Shi is always embarrassed to laugh.

The little girl seldom spoke, and every morning she took out a small piece of stone like a tree from her bosom and bowed down reverently, chanting words.

Tuoba Stone has outstanding intelligence, and after a long time, he has memorized all the prayers, and the boy finds it fun to read along. The general purpose of this prayer is to praise the Lord of the earth, and the believers are willing to offer their devotion to the Lord of the earth.

Two years later, three middle-aged men in black cloaks found here, bowed to the little girl, and gave his father Tuoba Tian a large sum of money to take the little girl back. ”

When Tuoba Tian heard this, he felt that this was his son's opportunity, and he was worried about his son, so he went with them.

Climb over the Great Snow Mountain, where there is an endless mountain forest. Deep in the mountains and forests, there is a small walled city, which is the location of the branch of the Earth God Cult. The little girl Lu Zhen was the only saint here, and Tuoba Shi became one of the hundreds of candidates for the Holy Son. His father, Tuoba Ten, helped with chores here.

The daily work of the hundreds of candidates for the Holy Son here is to bow down and pray in front of the huge statue of the ancient tree, and when they are tired, they recite the "Sutra of Mending Heaven" to restore their spirits.

It didn't take long for Tuobashi to realize that something was wrong. Although the food was abundant, the simple prayers were extremely draining on his physical and mental strength. In less than half a year, his body was so thin that his bones burst out, he felt that this was not a good place and wanted to leave, but when he saw the tragic scene of the candidate Holy Son who had escaped being beaten to death, and thought that his father and Lu Zhen were also here, he had to endure it silently, but fortunately, Lu Zhen always secretly gave him some pills, and his increasingly thin body did not collapse.

It wasn't until one day that someone from Shangxuanmen broke through here, and Tuoba Shi fled from the back mountain with his father.

The city was on fire, and Lu Zhen had already escaped with the backbone of the sect. At this time, it was late at night, and Tuoba Stone escaped only to find that this snow-covered deep mountain forest was hell, although Tuoba Shi's magic clothes could drive away fierce beasts, but the mountains and forests were extremely cold and lacked food.

A week later, his father Tuoba Tian died of high fever and starvation, Tuoba Shi cried bitterly and couldn't bear to leave, and a pursuing Shangxuanmen martial artist saw Tuoba Shi's eye-catching clothes on the snow, came to grab him, knocked him unconscious and took him away.

When Tuoba Shi woke up, he was already in a cage, and there were many candidates for the Holy Son who were imprisoned with him. Tuoba Shi was so sad that he contracted the wind and cold, and one of the candidates, the Holy Son named Zhu Wen, took out the best pills hidden in his body and cured Tuoba Shi's cold.

Tuoba Shi learned from Zhu Wen that the Earth God Cult they joined was a cult, and Shangxuanmen broke through there and arrested them, and convicted them of being the backbone of the cult and vainly attempting to overthrow the country.

Tuoba Shi thought of all the sins he had seen in the Earth God Cult, and thought of the cause and effect of the incident, and realized that everything was his own fault, if it wasn't for Lu Zhen, how could he and his father suffer this ordeal. Thinking of his father's death, he felt even more guilty and hurt, and only wanted to die. Zhu Wen tried hard to persuade him, but because he really couldn't figure out why Lu Zhen harmed him like this, he wanted to ask her to understand, so he survived.

These holy sons were originally capital crimes according to the crime, but fortunately, when they went to Xuanmen to find out that most of them were deceived into it, there was no great evil, and the guilt was reduced a lot, and the Xuanmen was extremely poor and good workers, because the holy sons were extremely talented, and all of them had spiritual roots and wisdom roots, so Shangxuanmen reduced them to slaves and punished them with 30 years of hard labor.

These laborers are all land cars, the core components of the flying boat are welded and assembled, and the ordinary people's divine consciousness is too poor to be competent, and these convicted holy sons have been reciting the Heavenly Sutra for many years, which consumes the body's origin to gain divine consciousness, and they all have the strength of the divine consciousness above the intermediate level of Qi training, which is enough to be competent for this kind of work.

Tuoba Shi is extremely intelligent, in order to go out as soon as possible to hold Lu Zhen accountable but the cause and effect of this life, he seriously studied technology in the service, and created several ways to improve efficiency, which alarmed the factory director. He was given a 10-year sentence reduction, and Tuoba Shi was released at the age of 30.

Tuoba Shi got out of the cage and found that he was already in Hanshui City, a big city in the south of the Li Kingdom, isolated and helpless, and his body was in a difficult situation, where could he afford to go to Lu Zhen, so he had to take a letter of introduction from the factory director to Hanshui City Feizhou Factory to work as a senior technician.

Tuoba Shi developed a hobby of specializing in technology in prison, although he was born as a criminal, but his skills were so good that he was valued by the director of a large factory, and he became a technical director in less than five years.

When he accompanied the supervisor to receive the general office of Hanshui City in Shangxuanmen, the general office saw that Tuoba Shi Linggen was outstanding, and he was Yuanci Gao Linggen, although he was too old, his basic knowledge was very solid, and he thought that his master entrusted him with the task of helping to find research talents, so he recommended Tuoba Shi to be a refining researcher from his master.

The general office teacher is an old man in his sixties in the middle of foundation building, named Duan Ming, who is one of the directors of the Shangxuanmen Outer Gate Refining Research Institute, and is responsible for improving and transforming the advanced flying boat technology brought by Shangxuanmen from the outside of the sky and applying it to actual production.

He admired Tuobashi's seriousness and comprehension, carefully taught him the basic rules, and asked him to help him in various studies.

Tuoba Shi has no relatives, and he is very grateful for being treated like a father by Duan Ming, plus along the way, he has been enthusiastically helped by many people, and he has some hope for life, and his heart to seek death has gradually faded.

In order for him to have a deep understanding of the rules, Duan Ming reported to the sect to accept him as a personal disciple and passed on the Yuan Magnetic cultivation method. It's a pity that Tuoba Stone obtained the Fa too late, and the early encounters caused a lot of loss to the body's origin, so it was not until he was over seventy years old that he cultivated the foundation.

At this time, he had already taken over the position of his mentor Duan Ming and became one of the five directors of the Outer Gate Refining Research Institute. Tuoba Stone has become a high and powerful person from the body of a prisoner, and he has never forgotten the cause and effect of his childhood.

After his cellmate Zhu Wen was released from prison, he took care of him as a senior technician, and now he is retired and enjoying his old age. Wu Xiu of Shangxuanmen, who captured him back in his early years, died on the battlefield more than 30 years ago. Only the grievances and hatreds with Lu Zhen have not been resolved.
