Qixia Village is a small seaside village in Qingjiao Town, on the southeast border of the Demon Country, most of the villagers make a living from fishing, even if there are a few hunters in the village, there is no shortage of fishing tools at home.

The sea that the villagers of Qixia depend on for their survival has a beautiful name - Qinhai. The sea is as beautiful as her name suggests, especially when the sun sets, and the blue sea shines like countless broken pearls.

In early autumn, as the sun sets, a light rain wafts through the air to bathe this beautiful fishing village, and in this simple Qixia village, there is a dilapidated blue-gray hut. At this moment, a clever little head poked out of the dilapidated hut, greedily inhaled the fresh air outside the door, and felt the beautiful coolness of the early autumn drizzle.

At this time, Qixia Village is full of cooking smoke, this dilapidated cottage is no exception, the kitchen stove is "crackling" burning firewood, there are two large and small iron pots on the small stove, the small pot inside is stewing porridge, and the big pot outside is boiling water.

The little head poking out of the door is a delicate-looking little boy, a pair of Danfeng eyes are shining, this angry kid is called Qi'er, eight years old this year, and he has been dependent on his grandfather since he was a child.

Qi'er knew when he was very young that he was an abandoned child picked up by his grandfather on the way to the market, when he was still ignorant, when he saw that other children were accompanied by their parents, he asked his grandfather curiously, and his grandfather told him frankly.

Maybe it was because he was young, Qi'er didn't feel uncomfortable at the time, but when he saw other children laughing and playing with their parents, he felt a little sour in his heart, and a bright smile appeared on his face. The reason why Qi'er laughs is only because she is infected by the happy picture in front of her.

Qi'er came to the house and stood at the intersection, looking in the direction of the village entrance with the brim of his hat with his left hand, his immature little face looked a little disappointed, and he didn't see the figure he expected his grandfather to come back. Qi'er's grandfather's surname is Bai, and everyone calls him "Bai Tiaoer" or shouts "Old Man Bai", as for the real honorific name, it is estimated that even the grandfather himself has forgotten.

Grandpa Bai Tiaoer went to the town early this morning with the neighbors to catch up with the market, and tomorrow is the day of the opening of the town's Qingjiao College and enrollment, which is an important day for this quiet and simple fishing village.

Like most children in the village, Qi'er began to go to school in the village's private school at the age of five, teaching an old gentleman with a goatee, the private school has no classroom, that is, teaching under the big jujube tree in the village, the children are with their own stools, when it is windy and rainy, the old man is uncomfortable or something, naturally the class will be suspended, the old man is to teach the children to use the official language to read.

Private schools don't have classes and holidays like Qingjiao Academy, and the old gentleman doesn't ask for how much tuition he has to pay, and those who have money can give some money, and those who don't have money can give food.

The minimum age standard for recruiting new students in Qingjiao Academy is seven years old, and the knowledge of new students when they sign up for the assessment is not difficult. Qingjiao Academy is the same as ordinary regular colleges, only a six-year teaching system, to be precise, as long as the student is over the age of twelve, you can graduate at any time, even if you come to school at the age of ten, of course, if you are willing to spend money to continue to study for six years, then the college is also very welcome.

After that, for most ordinary students, there is no college where they can continue their studies, and if they want to gain fame, they can only teach themselves to be a hard-working scholar. Wealthy families also find highly knowledgeable gentlemen as personal tutors to help their children gain fame and glory as soon as possible. In addition to gaining fame, another option is to become a soldier and a soldier of the country when he reaches the age of sixteen, hoping to become a general one day.

However, the ideal is always beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and most of the children of ordinary people still inherit the fate of their parents and poor people.

Whether it is to gain fame or hope to become a general or dream of becoming rich overnight, these ideals are just a helpless choice after the failure of life at the age of twelve, even if it is a prince and nobleman born with a golden key!

Not only the country of demons, for this world, becoming a god is the highest life ideal, and if a person can't awaken and appear the "Holy Word Divine Seal" in his body before he reaches the age of twelve, then it is basically impossible to become a member of the god line.

Even if someone suddenly awakens after the age of twelve or the Divine Seal appears by chance, then he will not achieve anything in his life, and it will be difficult for him to break through even the first order of the Divine Seal, and he can only become the lowest-level Divine Seal Fighter of the Divine Descendant.

The Divine Descent - the noblest, most powerful, and rarest profession in the world!

Whether a prince or a beggar, there is no one who does not want his children to have great achievements in the future. Qi'er often heard the adults in the village say that his children will be the demon masters of Xuanyuan Mansion in the future. Where is Xuanyuan Mansion? What is it doing exactly? Qi'er didn't know, and she felt very powerful in her heart!

As for the "Demon Master", he generally knew in the casual chats of the adults that it was the name of the gods in their demon country, and he didn't know if it was right or not, anyway, it seemed that the people in Xuanyuan Mansion were called "Demon Master".

"Become the demon master of Xuanyuan Mansion", just the words of the adults in the village in a joking tone, are the best expectations for their own children, as long as the adults think about it seriously, they will feel that this is an almost impossible dream to achieve.

The Divine Descendants are not only one in a hundred, but almost half of the Divine Descendants appear in the families of the princes and nobles, and the total number of all the princes and nobles in a country is far less than one percent of the total number.

The titles of the nobles in this world are not obtained by the commoners' cloth to become famous and become officials, or to become generals, but by the number of gods in a family, so these families have mastered most of the resources and power in this world early, and they have been passed on as deeply rooted as branches, so these high-ranking nobles call themselves "gods".

Although only one-third of the children of nobles appear in the gods, this is already a terrifying existence, not to mention the royal families of various countries.

For the civilian families of Qixia Village, the appearance of a god descendant in eight hundred years is the smoke of the ancestral tomb, not to mention the most noble Xuanyuan Mansion in the Demon Country, which is the highest combat power directly under the command of the emperor. Maybe Qi'er often heard adults say that the great ideal of "becoming a demon master of Xuanyuan Mansion" had become a matter of course in his young heart, and his real ideal was the "Holy City".

The Holy City was inadvertently mentioned by the old gentleman of the private school during his lecture, and the old gentleman himself knew very little, but our little Qi'er just remembered - the Holy City is a place where only very powerful gods can live!

The Holy City is a vague and illusory image in Qi'er's heart, an ethereal and beautiful dream!

The sky gradually darkened, grandpa and the group finally came back, in the morning they were all together with Liu Orion's donkey cart to go to the market, grandpa brought over half of the goods brought back, it seems that the market is not ideal. It is no wonder that Qingjiao Town is located in Linqin Sea, and there is no shortage of seafood in Qixia Village, and the salted fish and dried shrimp brought by my grandfather are the same as those of several other seafoods, that is, they are cheap and difficult to sell, only the fur and meat brought by Liu Orion are very popular.

Bai Tiao'er muttered and sighed, Qi'er hurriedly went over to pick up the salty goods from his grandfather, put them away, it rained lightly for a while this evening, and he had to dry it again tomorrow, although it was not easy to sell, but this is also the inventory accumulated at home, even if it can't be sold, it can be used to worship the five internal organs temple in the belly.

It's not good on a rainy day, it's already dark outside. Bai Tiao'er patted the clothes on his body, but he was a little damp, so there was no need to change his clothes. He went to light an oil lamp and brought it to the table, which was an earthen oil lamp made of animal fat, emitting the light of green fireflies, not only not bright enough but also had some unpleasant smell, but if you get used to it, you won't feel anything.

Qingying's light illuminated the "sumptuous" meals on the table, including roasted salted fish, salted rabbit shreds, boiled dried shrimp and a dish of wild vegetables, which was already very hearty for Qi'er's family. This "big meal" was made by Qi'er before cooking porridge and boiling water, in addition to the "big dish" Qi'er also set up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and also warmed a pot of old wine brewed by his grandfather.

Although Qi'er didn't drink much, she didn't think that the turbid wine made by her grandfather was anything good, but she must accompany her grandfather to have a good drink tonight to make her grandfather happy.

Bai Tiao'er looked at the "big meal" prepared by Qi'er and smiled with satisfaction, although this child is a little naughty, he has been very sensible since he was a child. Bai Tiao'er deliberately sniffed his nose, gave Qi'er an exaggerated smile, and said, "The dishes cooked by my little Qi'er are fragrant!"

At this time, Qi'er had already put the salty goods, went to the basin and took out the hot pot of old wine, because the grandfather came back a little late, he was afraid of being cold outside, so he put some hot water in the basin to keep the wine warm. Qi'er poured a full bowl of wine for her grandfather, brought herself half a bowl, and sat opposite her grandfather.

Bai Tiao'er couldn't wait to take a sip of the old wine, smacked his mouth comfortably, looked at Qi'er and smiled: "This rabbit meat was given by Aunt Liu, right?"

Aunt Liu is Liu Orion's mother-in-law, and her wife marries her husband to become the Liu family. Qi'er nodded at her grandfather and said, "This is the rabbit leg that Aunt Liu sent before, it is still cooked, I just tore it." After speaking, he also took a sip of old wine, learned from his grandfather to smack his mouth, showing a very satisfied look, and then picked up a chopstick of salted rabbit silk and stuffed it in his mouth.

Bai Tiao'er looked at the cute appearance of this clever ghost, laughed happily, and said to Qi'er: "My good grandson, take another sip with grandpa." After speaking, he took a big sip of "coo-dong".

Qi'er secretly stretched out his little tongue, he didn't dare to drink so much at once, pretending to take a sip suddenly, in fact, he just drank a small sip, and when he was done, he deliberately wiped his mouth, looked at his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, how many copper coins were sold in the market today?"

Bai Tiao'er pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "Guess." ”

Qi'er blinked smartly, quickly estimated in his mind, and then raised a young hand, spread four fingers and said, "Forty, almost forty." ”

"No, my good grandson, you guess. Bai Tiao'er smiled lovingly.

"Hmm...... Thirty pcs. ”

"No, it's too far off. Bai Tiao'er shook her head proudly.

"Grandpa, Qi'er can't guess, just say it!"

Bai Tiao'er laughed happily and said, "It's ninety-three copper coins." ”

Qi'er opened her mouth wide in shock, and said excitedly: "Why are there so many? That's almost a silver coin!" and then wondered: "There are so many fish and shrimps, but even if they are all sold out, there won't be so much money, right?"
