In a small village about ten kilometers away from the outermost city of Tianfu City, a handsome young man with glasses in a school uniform walked on the path between the villages.

The young man's face was a little gloomy, and he also ignored the villagers passing by, and walked towards the other end of the village. When he passed by a small courtyard, there was a small plaque carved with a very thin knife outside the door - Qingjia carpentry.

"Haven't I seen you, young man? It's not from this village, it's coming from the city, do you want to come and sit down?" In the courtyard, a dark-skinned old man with an old smoking gun sat on a very long wooden chair and greeted the young man who passed by his door.

The boy paused for half the night, thanked him very politely, and went on his way. The old man in the courtyard squinted his eyes and looked at the back of the young man in the distance, and after the young man left, he stood up and walked back to his bungalow.

It didn't take long for the boy to stop in front of a huge plane tree.

This huge plane tree seems to be quite old, and is basically the largest tree in the area. The boy crouched down and found a small fist-sized hole under the plane tree, but it was only an outline, and it seemed to have been filled with a regrown trunk.

The boy sent Zhang Chen to the hospital and came here to Xiaobai. Standing in front of the trees without waves, it seems that he is thinking about something from a long time ago, and his eyes are full of hesitation.

"Haha, more than 80 years ago, I heard that a group of village children here found a newborn little white snake in the tree hole, blocked it with fire, and was rescued when it was dying." The source of the sound was none other than the old carpenter who was sitting in the courtyard before.

Who knows, more than ten days later, two adult white snakes discovered that this tree hole had the smell of their own children, but only the burned black and charred tree hole was left at the scene. That night, two white snakes sneaked into the village in search of the smell and bit to death a child who had set fire to life. Then, every two days, they would sneak into the village in the middle of the night and bite the next child to death."

"The angry villagers were fully prepared, and when the two white snakes infiltrated the village for the third time, they beat them to death on the spot, and threw their bodies outside the village, where they were corroded by the wind and sand and turned into white bones."

Xiaobai didn't turn around, and his expression didn't change at all, just staring at the sycamore tree quietly.

"You are the little white snake that was rescued that day, don't you have anger in your heart after knowing this? Don't you want to seek revenge on the villagers in the village?"

Xiaobai turned around and said softly

"My parents have made mistakes, should I continue to make them? The so-called revenge is nothing more than not being able to let go of the obsession in my heart, and I have cut off the obsession in my heart as early as seventy years ago. I'm just going to go with my past wishes."

"Haha, well said. Cut off the obsession, if this thing is really so easy to cut off, then the people in the world will be able to live a real stable life. I wonder if you can come and sit down now?" The old man laughed and invited Xiaobai to his house again.

Xiao Bai's red and green eyes looked at the plainly dressed old man in front of him, with traces of time on his forehead and a kind face. Although I can feel a little bit of aura that ordinary people don't have, I can't see anything at all when I look closely.

"Then bother you." Xiaobai bowed very politely.

"Haha, you've learned a lot of human etiquette, let's go." The old man walked in front with his hands behind his back and a pipe in his mouth.

Villagers passing by will greet the old man politely, and it seems that the old man is very famous in the village.

"Come in, just find a place to sit." After the old man walked into the bungalow with Xiaobai, he pointed to the wooden bench in the room and motioned for Xiaobai to sit down.

However, Xiaobai, who had just stepped into the door, was shocked by the situation in the room. In this simple 50-square-meter bungalow, all the chairs, bookcases, tables, etc. are carved from woodwork.

"Master, are you making all these things yourself?" Xiaobai asked in surprise.

"Haha, am I, an old carpenter, going to buy something made by other carpenters? Let's have a cup of black tea." The old man made a cup of black tea for Xiaobai with a wooden cup.

After Xiaobai thanked him, he took it, and took a sip of tea, which actually produced a warm current in the depths of his body, which made the fatigue of fighting and rushing before disappear.

And sitting on this ingenious wooden chair, there was a trace of righteous qi similar to a relic coming out from the inside of the wooden tool, and began to dip into Xiaobai's body to repair the injuries formed by last night's battle.

"I don't know if the master can take me as an apprentice." Xiaobai suddenly knelt on his knees, and wanted to worship this old man as a teacher.

"Haha, it's funny, I've never accepted a disciple in my life, I didn't expect that the first one to become my disciple would be a snake. But first I have to ask you, do you want to learn this carpentry trade with me or do you want to learn the Tao?" The old man didn't refuse, but just asked Xiaobai a question.

"The master's carpentry is pregnant with Taoism, and the Taoism is derived from carpentry, isn't it the same to learn which one?" Xiaobai returned to the road.

"Haha, that's a good answer. I'll accept you as a registered disciple for the time being, and one day I'll be satisfied and then I'll make you a personal disciple." The old man nodded in satisfaction.

"Disciple to meet Master." Xiaobai immediately bowed respectfully.

"However, the disciple can't learn the skills from Master you in the near future, and there is one more thing to deal with." Xiaobai's eyes flickered

With a complicated look, afraid of the old in front of him. [,！ People will be unhappy.

"I don't like disciples who have concerns in my heart, even if you go, I guess one of the purposes of your apprenticeship is also for this." The old man suddenly pointed out what Xiaobai was thinking.

"I ......"

"Get up, and take me the long knife in your belly." The old man took a puff of his pipe and whispered.

"Yes." Although Xiaobai didn't know what the old man was going to do with his natal weapon, he still spit it out of his mouth without hesitation and handed it to the old man.

The blade seems to be psychic, and the moment it leaves Xiaobai's body and reaches the old man's hands, the cold air rises, wanting to freeze the old man's calloused hands. However, the old man stretched out his fingers and gently brushed the slender blade of the knife to wipe out the cold.

"It's a very good knife, but it's never opened, it's a little too blunt." The old man took down the pipe with his right hand and gently shook the tobacco on the surface of the knife. Then pinch the tip of the knife with your right index finger and thumb and slide it down all the way to the end.

This knife was originally a natal weapon that evolved in Xiaobai's body after becoming a demon, and the knife killed people. While the old man pinched the knife surface and slided, Xiaobai's heart became more and more aggressive.

"Wouldn't that be much better. Then, it's going to be a gift for you." The old man threw the slender one back to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai held the knife in his right hand, his eyes were fixed on the blade, and he felt a fierce aura attacking, and it complemented his heart. After taking it back, he quickly bowed deeply.

"Master, I'll come to you when my matter is settled, and now I'll go back first." Xiao Bai said respectfully, and turned to walk towards the door.

"Let's give you these two things together, for the sake of you being the old man's founding disciple, haha." Xiao Bai turned around and caught the two wood carvings thrown by the old man.

"This is ......" Xiaobai's face showed a different look on his face that was not surprised.

"I took back the bones of the two white snakes, and carved these two wood carvings based on their skeletons, I believe it will be of some benefit to you. Be careful about things in the city, the world is not as simple as you see." When the old man had finished speaking, he turned and picked up his pipe, and went back to his room.

Xiaobai, who walked out of the door, looked at the wood carving in his hand, and exchanged ......

…………

"What about the little white people? Why didn't I come with you?" Yi Zhi asked.

"I don't know, that guy didn't go to class and don't know where he went. Don't worry, I guess he must have lost last night, so he's going out to practice today." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"How can there be a friend like you, when I went to exchange with Xiaobai to take care of you this morning, I saw that his face was not very good, and he seemed to have something on his mind." Wang Yizhi responded.

"Then it's no problem, Xiaobai has been in my body for a long time, if something happens to him, I will definitely feel it immediately." Hearing Zhang Chen say this, Wang Yizhi was relieved.

"Huh? Where's our seat?" Wang Yizhi looked around for the position she had occupied.

"You didn't have an order, did you?"

"I've got all the food on the table, that's why I'm waiting for you. There are so many people in the cafeteria, and I sit there alone and don't eat, it's stupid."

"Do you see that table?" Zhang Chen pointed to a table with three boys sitting and said.

"yes, that's it. How did they remove our dishes? I'll go up to you and theorize." Wang Yizhi ran up angrily.

Although the No. 5 Middle School is a prestigious school, most of them are excellent students, but there are also a very small number of parents who spend money to buy them, such as Xi Xingming, who died on the fourth floor of the cafeteria last time. And these three are no exception.

"Where did you come from, shrew, did you say that this position is yours and yours? Lao Tzu still said that this canteen belongs to Lao Tzu? It's funny." A man with a school uniform tied around his waist said in a fierce tone without raising his head.

"You ......" Wang Yizhi is also a very powerful little girl and wanted to continue the theory, but was stopped by Zhang Chen.

"Yizhi, you let me try."

"Huh? Don't do it, I know you're good, but it's not good in this school." Wang Yizhi said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm very eloquent."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he walked slowly to the dining table, sat down in the middle of the three of them, and put his hand on one person's shoulder, and said slowly

"I said, this is our location, can you please go to another place to eat?"

When the three of them turned their heads viciously, their eyes suddenly became confused, and they first stood up and kept saying to Zhang Chen, "I'm sorry." After that, he took the initiative to take the rice bowl to another place, and then ran back with a shrunken head to help Zhang Chen put the food that had been removed before, and then left very respectfully.

"Alright, come over for dinner."

After Wang Yizhi and Worm Firefly came over, Worm Fly naturally saw the doorway, covered her mouth and snickered. But Wang Yizhi could only be confused, and it took a long time to say a word

"Did those guys owe you a lot of money before?"

Zhang Chen smiled slightly: "Probably......"
