Chapter 1 Lingshui Town
Under the mist-shrouded peaks, a continuous line of buildings is arranged like a dragon lying on the ground, and the smoke of cooking rises, and a rich smell of rice wafts from the head of the town to the end of the town.
All the men, women and children in the town stopped what they were doing, wiped off the beads of sweat on their foreheads, breathed a sigh of relief, washed their hands by the river, and with a happy smile on their faces, they entered their doors and started their meals with a smile.
But outside a humble hut at the end of town, a young man dressed in coarse linen was diligently chopping wood.
At this time, it is noon, the hot day seems to be a flame scorching the earth, pedestrians walking on the road, the whole body is soaked with sweat, even under the shade of the trees, you can still feel the boiling heat, the river of the town, the breeze blows, not feel a trace of coolness, but like a wave of heat floating over.
At this time, everyone in the town was already eating in the house, and they were enjoying the shade in the house when they were not eating, but by the river facing the heat wave, a young man dressed in coarse linen was chopping wood seriously with a huge axe in his hand. The passers-by were already soaked in clothes, but the young man under the scorching sun did not even have sweat on his face.
The young man has a handsome face, delicate facial features, especially his eyes, which are deep and blurry, as if they are bright stars in the dark night. The boy's upper lip was slightly upturned, and he looked quite kind, as if he was smiling all the time.
"Hua'er, it's time to eat, the food is cold!"
In the hut, the head of a beautiful young woman poked out, and that face was seven points like a young man, and the years had carved small wrinkles on her forehead, but they could not hide her beautiful appearance.
"Wait a minute, mother, I'll finish splitting these woods, and I'll come!"
The boy beckoned and smiled slightly in the direction of the hut. With both hands, he raised a huge axe almost half the size of his body, as if it was endlessly chopping at the wood around him.
The front of the hut was not large, but it was now full of neatly cut timbers inside and out.
"Three thousand trees, finally finished!"
The boy clapped his hands, stretched his waist, smiled with satisfaction, swept around the cut wood, and entered the hut satisfied.
The room was filled with the rich aroma of rice, the beautiful young woman, sitting on the table dignifiedly, skillfully and flexibly helping the young man to add good food, looked at the young man's red and swollen hands a few times distressedly, and the cherry-like little mouth pursed slightly, wanting to say something, but the words were in the mouth, and changed again, chopsticks pointed to a table full of sumptuous meals on the table and said: "Hua'er, eat more, these are what you love to eat." ”
"Hmm!"
The young man already had a large amount of food, and the three little ones wiped out the dishes on the table like a storm, and hiccups with satisfaction. At this time, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps outside the door.
The young man has great strength since he was a child, and his senses are sharper than ordinary people, and when he listens to the sound of rapid footsteps, his expression is immediately solemn and he enters a state of alertness.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the mayor took the lead, and a large wave of people poured into the already narrow hut. The face of the dignified and beautiful young woman in the hut changed slightly.
"Yuehua, Yang Xianling, this is a wish from the villagers of Lingshui Town, I hope you two are not too little!"
The mayor glanced around the hut, his eyes were reluctant, and he gently put down a bag of spirit coins on the table, shook his head and sighed.
"Mayor Mare, what are you?"
Yang Xianling stood up in confusion, her beautiful eyes wrinkled slightly, and she was holding the heavy bag in her hand, at a loss.
"Fairy, you and Yuehua, have lived here for more than ten years, we all regard you as a member of the town, especially Yuehua, well-behaved and sensible, keen to help others, grew up in our Lingshui Town since childhood, we like it very much, but just yesterday, the official document was issued, whether it is a man or a woman, young or old, there must be a record of identity, and the whole town will be searched after three days, if there is an unknown person, it will be severely punished!"
After speaking, the villagers surrounding behind the mayor turned around reluctantly, and couldn't bear to look at Yang Xianling and Yuehua. Yuehua and Yang Xianling came to Lingshui Town sixteen years ago, when Yuehua was just born, she was white and fat, everyone liked it very much, when she grew up, Yuehua had great strength, a keen sense of hearing, and often helped everyone move things, catch thieves, Yang Xianling is also ingenious, can sew clothes and mend cloth, someone in the town has broken clothes, or to make a dress, she is enthusiastic to accept, the mother and wife are quite loved by everyone.
"I understand!"
Yang Xianling held the heavy bag in his hand, bit his lip lightly, lowered his head, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without asking anything more, he turned around and went back to the house to pack his things.
The villagers of Lingshui Town, who were surrounding in a circle, shook their heads helplessly.
"Mayor of the town, in times of peace, why did you suddenly send an official document to check people, did something happen?"
Yuehua is different from Yang Xianling, at his age, if he doesn't figure things out, he feels uncomfortable. When Yang Xianling went back to the house to pack up his things, Yuehua couldn't help but ask the mayor with curiosity in her heart.
"Alas, I don't know how, overnight, Lord Spirit was seriously ill, the seal of the demon clan was loosened, and some demon characters invaded our Divine Spirit Continent, and the Spirit Emperor ordered that the whole continent should be strictly investigated, and those who are found to be unknown should be severely punished."
The mayor shook his head and sighed, gently touching Yuehua's head, his eyes were full of doting, as if he was looking at his grandson. The mayor of the town has no grandson at the moment, only one granddaughter, Xue Tingting, who was sent to the Spirit King Academy in Tianling City to practice spiritual power as early as six years ago. In the early years, Yuehua and his granddaughter, the two had no guesses, they were inseparable, especially their granddaughter, the food at the idle house was not delicious, and it was said that the craftsmanship of the fairy was good, and they often went to Yuehua to eat. In the blink of an eye, the former little hairy children have all grown up, and they have to stay away from Lingshui Town.
"What kind of bullshit demon seal is loose, I see that it is the Spirit Emperor who is searching for the spirit axe......"
A young man behind the mayor pouted and said with disdain on his face, if it weren't for the mayor's sharp eyes, he would have continued.
"Spirit axe?"
Yuehua narrowed her eyes slightly, hearing this thing for the first time, and said silently curiously. At this time, Yang Xianling, who had finished packing up his things, came out with a kettle, ready to pour a cup of tea for the villagers. When he heard the spirit axe, his body trembled, his hand loosened, and the kettle fell to the ground, splashing water.
Yang Xianling hurriedly bent down and picked up the kettle on the ground, and added: "I have been living in Lingshui Town for more than ten years, and if I want to leave all of a sudden, the whole person seems to have no soul, and if I take a kettle, it will fall to the ground!" ”
The mayor and the others didn't care, and they understood Yang Xianling's mood at this time, and they all went up to comfort him.
Yuehua's senses are so keen, when Yang Xianling's kettle landed, he understood a lot, but he was sensible since he was a child, and when he saw his mother's lost soul, he didn't continue to ask.
Seeing that Yang Xianling had packed up his things, the mayor's lips moved slightly, and he beckoned to the people behind him to exit the door first, and after everyone withdrew from the door, the mayor took out a crystal clear jade plate from his arms, handed it to me Yuehua, and said seriously:
"Xianling, Yuehua, you two have lived in Lingshui Town for more than ten years, I don't see Yuehua and his father, there must be something unspeakable, Yuehua has been sensible since he was a child, and some things should be let him take care of some things for you, this jade plate is my granddaughter Xue Tingting asked me to give it to Yuehua, with this jade card, you can enter the Lingwang Courtyard to practice, you two left Lingshui Town this time, and then it is difficult to find a place to live, if Yuehua can enter the Lingwang Courtyard and become a spirit, with the protection of the Lingwang Courtyard, it will not be a problem to settle in Tianling City!"
