Volume 1 When I Was Young Chapter 1 A Horse Walking Through the City of Immortals

The territory of the Han Empire was vast, the immortal roads were prosperous, there were many sects, and there were many sects, and there were more than 3,000 sects recorded in the register.

Immortal City.

On the bustling streets, the afterglow of the early sun falls on the eaves of the buildings with blue bricks and white tiles, and the dew drops on the white tiles of the pavilions in the early morning reflect the crystal glow.

On a crowded street, a young man dressed in white is leading a horse slowly.

February 13 is the day when the "Kunlun Ten Thousand Soldiers" held a trial, and the young man in white came to the Immortal City this time to participate in the "Kunlun Ten Thousand Soldiers" once in a hundred years in the Han Kingdom.

"The son wants to immortalize and cultivate Kunlun!" The young man in white once read a Taoist scripture when he was a teenager, and this is one of them. The contents of the book have gradually been forgotten with the passage of time, but only this sentence, although many years have passed, he can still remember it clearly.

According to the records of the Taikoo Chronicles, Li Yiqi, one of the three sages of the Taikoo, petitioned for the monks of the world and preached the Dharma to all beings in the world, and opened the era of great cultivation of immortals.

In Li Yiqi's era, cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao was only the right of a small number of people, and the cultivation of immortals, secret books, and treasures were firmly controlled by those cultivation families and famous sects, and it was almost impossible for mortals to get the opportunity to cultivate immortals.

After a catastrophe called "Qingyun Tribulation", the mortals in the world were almost dead, Li Yiqi had a great wish of compassion, in that passing years, he used his own strength to fight against all the Taoist inheritances in the world, and vowed to die to let all the living beings in the world get the opportunity to practice; I wish that tens of millions of mortals in the world, everyone can participate in the Fa and cultivate immortals, and then I hope that future generations of cultivators can be crowned gods and ascend to heaven!"

Because of Li Yiqi's request to heaven, the aura of heaven and earth frantically poured into this world, and countless exercises fell from the heavenly pillar to all directions, so that all living beings and all things had the opportunity to cultivate immortals.

With the death of Li Yiqi, it also announced the end of the Xiuzhen Gate Valve in the ancient era, and later generations created the trial of Kunlun Wanren in order to commemorate Li Yiqi's righteous deeds back then.

The young man in white walked to the eaves of a roof and paused slightly.

He looked sideways at the few small objects on the ground, and then stooped down with interest, not paying any attention to the wet ground in the early morning.

Because he bent down, the young man in white could only hold a sword and stand on the ground, his full head was tied up with a gold silk hair band, and the hem of a white robe had to rest on his legs because of the squatting posture.

The merchant is an old man with a wrinkled face, wearing thin clothes, his hands unconsciously shrunk in his sleeves, and the tip of his nose is still hanging with clear water; the cold wind in February blows his bones; with the thin body of the old man, he can't bear the cold air of this early morning, and when the young man in white led the horse slowly, I watched your old man shiver in the cold wind from afar.

Seeing the guests, the old trader immediately showed a smile and asked, "I don't know if the son has taken a fancy to that?"

The young man in white looked at the three hand-woven small objects on the ground, looked at the old trader with a bright smile, and asked, "Old man, I want these three, how much do you calculate in total." ”

The old trader stretched out his frozen hands and said, "One piece of four wen, three pieces of a total of twelve wen, and the son can give ten wen." ”

The young man in white looked for it on his body, then took out one or two pieces of silver from the sachet on the right and handed it to the old man.

The old merchant looked at the silver tael handed over by the young man in white, showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "I don't have so many copper coins on me, this silver is too big for me to find, if the son likes it, these items can be taken first, I will be here every morning, and when the son has the copper coins in a few days, it is okay to pay the ten cents." ”

The young man in white stuffed the silver into the old merchant's hand, and said with a smile: "You can take it first, you can prepare more copper coins in the past two days, and when I come back in a few days, you can give me the remaining ninety wen." ”

The old merchant thought for a while, took the silver from the young man in white, and said, "Then when the son comes next time, I will give the boy another object." ”

The young man in white nodded, got up and led the horse away. The young man's surname is Li Chang'an, when he went out, he brought a few thousand taels of silver tickets, along the road to see roadside stalls, or begging old and weak women and children will send some over, from his hometown all the way to the city of Qixian, just half a month away, thousands of taels of silver tickets were sent clean; just now the last one or two silver, also half bought and half given to the old trader.

Li Chang'an is a famous family with strong roots, he studied under the great Confucian Su Wu of the Imperial City, and for the character of this disciple, the great Confucian who studied the imperial capital also persuaded him several times: "Although the gentleman is virtuous, if you are too gentle and pure, others will only think that you are weak and deceitful, and everything needs to be appropriate." ”

At that time, Li Changan was ten years old, and he would nod seriously every time for his master's earnest teachings, but the result was that when Old Master Su went to the street the next day, he saw those people who were deliberately wearing shabby clothes and asked the young man for money, and the young man would still smile and hand over some broken silver.

Later, Master Su Wu couldn't help it, so he asked the young man: "Why, don't you think those people are cheating you of your money?"

The young man was afraid that the master would blame him, so he lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes, and whispered with teary eyes: "I also listened to the master's words, but I think they must also have difficulties, otherwise how could they deliberately lie to me." ”

In the end, Su Wu, a famous Confucian in Kyoto, commented on his disciple very pertinently - "Goodness is like water, and jade is golden." ”

In fact, there are some things that Su Wu doesn't know, and most of the reason why Li Changan has this kind of character is because of his deceased parents.

Li Changan's parents died one after another when he was not yet a month old, and his family had no uncles and distant relatives, so he could only live in his grandfather's house in Diyang City since he was a child.

The young Li Changan was ignorant, and at the age when he just remembered, he could hear the maids and servants in the house talking about him behind his back, saying that when he Li Changan was born, there was a bad omen in the sky, that he had a shallow fortune, that he was the legendary Tiansha Lone Star, that he killed his parents just after he was born, that the Nine Heavens Sword Sect killed 8,000 disciples because of his battle, that because he was outside the Great Wall, because he buried the bones of 800,000 Han soldiers; and some people even said that his crimes were monstrous, and it was difficult to stop even after the death of his parents, and he wanted to go to hell to suffer to atone for his sins。

For such false words, almost no one believed it, but the young Li Changan believed it, so he could only run to a corner where no one was alone and choked in a low voice.

Leading the horse out of the street slowly, Li Changan looked up at the sky, the sun shone obliquely on his slightly green face, and at the end of the street, one person and one horse were extremely lonely.

Sun-facing flowers and trees, pure sincerity.

He raised his hand to cover the sun, smiled gently, and muttered to himself: "There is a debtor who has been wronged, please God bless, bless my parents not to suffer for me anymore, and bless them with the good results this time." ”
