Midnight.
On the mountain road outside the village, three people walked quietly by the moonlight, and it was the three of Xu Ziyan's family. Looking back at the village that was gradually moving away, all three of them quietly exhaled at the same time, and their expressions relaxed slightly.
Since Xu Ziyan came to this world, it was the first time he had walked so far, and he didn't know anything about this world. At this time, he was already far away from the village, so he couldn't hold back any longer, and asked softly:
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Zhongdu City, which is the ancestral land of our Xu family and the center of the Xu family."
"Dad, will the village chief report our escape to the family, if that's the case, won't we fall into the net!" Xu Ziyan asked worriedly.
"Hehe......" Xu Guang laughed twice and said: "Where can anyone care about a little person like us, not to mention that the village chief may not dare to report it for this trivial matter, even if it is reported, no one will pay attention to it, and maybe he will be reprimanded by the above." ”
"That'...... Why do the people in the village endure the obscenity of the village chief like that and not leave the village? Xu Ziyan asked puzzled.
"Alas! Yan'er, you don't understand. It's easy to leave the village, but life becomes very difficult after leaving the village. Your mother and I don't have any skills, I really don't know how our family will live after Lu Dao leaves the village! Xu Guang's expression suddenly sank, and there was indescribable pain in his eyes.
"Her father, what will we do when we get to the middle capital?" Xu's face was full of sorrow.
"Dad, are you familiar with the Middle Capital?" Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Guang with hope.
"Familiar with it!" Xu Guang sighed lightly, his eyes regained some brilliance, and he said with memories: "I have lived in the middle capital city for fifteen years, in the family, as long as the fifteen-year-old has not broken through the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow, he will be driven out of the inner hall of the family, and go to the outer hall to do those miscellaneous work for the family, and those with worse qualifications will be sent to remote villages and left to fend for themselves." ”
"Daddy?"
"Dad is fifteen years old and hasn't broken through the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow, so ......, alas~~" Seeing that his wife and daughter seemed to be affected by his emotions, Xu Guang reluctantly smiled and said: "It's okay, I was too young to stand the ridicule of others at that time, so I gave up on myself, so I took the initiative to choose this place far away from the middle capital." Dad's house still has a very high status in the family, your grandfather is also the elder of the family, and some of my father's brothers broke through the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow, so many years have passed, and they must have a certain status in the family. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Ziyan saw through the moonlight that Xu Guang's face was obviously unnatural, extremely unnatural.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ziyan's family. Xu Ziyan was alert in his heart, and he was the first to react. When I looked up, it was the village chief standing in front of me with a mocking expression. Xu Ziyan couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, he was still too inexperienced, if he was more careful, with his cultivation at the first level of the Qi refining period, how could he not feel it until the village chief appeared in front of him.
At this time, Xu Guang and his wife also saw the village chief, Xu Guang was tight, and then strode forward to protect his wife and daughter behind him, and looked at the village chief coldly and was silent. And Xu Shi was already so frightened that his whole body was like a sifting chaff, and he was trembling. Xu Ziyan suppressed the tension in his heart, and secretly raised the cultivation of the first layer of the Qi Refining Period to the peak, and the hands behind his back gradually had gas fluctuations like water lines.
"Xu Guang, return to the village immediately, marry your daughter to my second son in three days, and then give up, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
When the words fell, the momentum of the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow suddenly exploded. Xu Guang's body leaned back slightly, and he immediately stood upright, and the momentum on his body also exploded with all his strength. Xu Ziyan's eyes froze, and he said secretly in his heart:
"It seems that my father has not given up cultivation, and he has even cultivated to the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow over the years."
The village chief glanced at Xu Guang unexpectedly, but when he saw that Xu Guang only had the cultivation of the seventh layer the day after tomorrow, his expression was relaxed, and he said sarcastically:
"What? Still want to resist? ”
As the words fell, he strode towards Xu Guang. Xu Guang looked stunned, and slammed a punch at the other party, and the village chief Huo Ran smiled and swung a punch at the same time. Just as Xu Guang staggered back, a graceful figure blew past Xu Guang like the wind, and under the moonlight, a slender jade hand was inserted into the throat of the village chief.
There was a "click" in his ears, and when Xu Ziyan's figure stopped, he saw the village chief holding his throat with his hands, blood bubbling out of his mouth, all the way backwards, his eyes releasing an unbelievable gaze, gradually becoming godless, and falling to the dust after the last moment.
Also unbelievable was Xu Guang, who looked at Xu Ziyan in a daze, as if the person in front of him was not his daughter. Suddenly, Xu Guang trembled with excitement, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and seemed to be a little scared, afraid that what was happening in front of him was illusory. Trembling, he took two steps forward and asked softly:
"Yan'er, have you entered the congenital?"
"Yes, Dad, I'm already at the first level of the Qi Refining Period." Xu Ziyan pressed the churn in her abdomen, for the first time in two lifetimes, she killed someone, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Really?" Xu Guang strode forward and grabbed Xu Ziyan's shoulders with both hands, and because of excitement, he grabbed Xu Ziyan's shoulders painfully.
"Dad, you're scratching me." Xu Ziyan said with a wry smile.
Xu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then let go of his hands embarrassedly, but his eyes were still fixed on Xu Ziyan, hoping to get another positive answer from her mouth. Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Guang's eyes of gain and loss, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, and said softly:
"Dad, it's true."
"Show me your luck!" Xu Guang still said uneasily.
Xu Ziyan smiled helplessly, stretched out a hand, and carried the cultivation of the first layer of the Qi Refining Period, only to see that the water on that hand was sparkling and fluctuating. Although Xu Guang had not broken through the innate nature, after all, he had lived in the family for fifteen years, and he still had basic knowledge, and he recognized at a glance that this was a water system exercise at the first level of the Qi refining period. After confirming that his daughter had a spiritual root, Xu Guang could no longer hold back the agitation in his heart, and looked up to the sky and smiled:
"Haha......"
This long laugh seemed to have laughed all the stuffiness in his heart for decades, and Xu Guang only felt that he had never felt happy in his heart. After calming down from the excitement, Xu Guang asked questioningly:
"Yan'er, when did you know that you have a spiritual root? Where did you learn the exercises? ”
Xu Ziyan said slowly: "My daughter met a fairy by the river outside the village three months ago, and it was she who discovered her daughter's spiritual root and taught her the exercises. ”
"What else did she say to you?" Xu Guang asked anxiously.
"I didn't say anything, I just said that I had a fate to see you again, and then I went away."
Xu Guang's face revealed disappointment, but he immediately became happy again. Said with a smile:
"Anyway, my daughter is a person with a spiritual root, and she has broken through the innate nature, and we can return to the middle capital city in a bright and bright way."
"Dad," Xu Ziyan hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want to join the family immediately, I want to wait until I have achieved cultivation before thinking about this matter." ”
Xu Guang was stunned before he said, "What are you doing?" ”
"I don't know about the family, I want to wait until I have the ability to protect myself, or I have an understanding of the family."
"......"
"Daddy is worried about life after arriving in the middle capital?"
Xu Guang didn't speak, but the embarrassment on his face had already been expressed. Xu Ziyan chuckled and said:
"Daddy, don't worry, that fairy also taught me alchemy and talisman making, although I have only learned a little bit now, but there is no problem in maintaining our family's life and cultivation."
"Really?" Xu Guang's eyes lit up, and his expression couldn't contain the excitement.
"Really, Daddy." Xu Ziyan nodded affirmatively.
At this time, the original worry and unnaturalness on Xu Guang's face were swept away, and his spine straightened unconsciously. The voice was also much brighter, and the tone was full of pride and hope for the future, and he waved his hand:
"Let's go, let's go back to Zhongdu."
The middle capital city.
Xu Guang spent three taels of silver in the slums of the city to rent a small room, and there was a small courtyard of a few square meters around it. Now Xu Guang has seven taels of silver left in his hand. He had worked hard for decades, but he had only saved ten taels of silver. After settling down, Xu Ziyan went out with the five taels of silver given by her father, she wanted to go to the pharmacy and the talisman shop to have a look, buy some alchemy and talisman materials, and improve the life of the family.
After walking for nearly a morning, Xu Ziyan drooped his head and walked down the street in a depressed mood. She went to many pharmacies and talisman shops, and found that her five taels of silver were scum at all, if it was a life, she could buy rice and vegetables for a year, but if she wanted to buy alchemy and talisman materials, she couldn't afford it, even a piece of talisman paper or a taste of herbs.
Hanging his head, he walked aimlessly. Suddenly, he hit a person's body, and the man on the opposite side was very angry, Xu Ziyan staggered all the way back, and almost sat on the ground. When you stand firm and look up,
But I saw a young man looking at him with a smile, a well-fitting white shirt against his well-proportioned figure. Tall and straight, with sword eyebrows. The edges and corners of his face are as sharp as a knife, and he releases a heroic and chic temperament.
Xu Ziyan's eyes couldn't help but light up, handsome guy! is definitely much more handsome than those stars on the earth in his previous life!
The young man looked at Xu Ziyan, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he was surprised by Xu Ziyan's beauty. Although Xu Ziyan is dressed very plainly, she still shows the potential of a beauty. The different color in the young man's eyes flashed, and he returned to his original appearance, looking at Xu Ziyan lightly.
There was also a younger girl standing beside the young man, who was pinching her waist and shouting at Xu Ziyan:
"You didn't have long eyes when you walked, and you still deliberately hit my brother Lin."
After the words fell, seeing Xu Ziyan's beauty, a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, he took a step forward, shook his hand and slapped Xu Ziyan's face.
