There is no master in the view, there is no treasure town hall, there are no pilgrims to patronize the Hanyang Temple, for five years at the beginning of the day by selling talismans for a living, a person is struggling to maintain the Hanyang Temple, while going down the mountain to help the people collect ghosts and look for clues to the devil.

After several years of hard work, the beginning of the day finally re-established the hall of the Hanyang Temple, although it can not be compared with the original hall, but it is much stronger than the original side hall, and the Hanyang Temple also has the appearance of a Taoist temple, and what makes him even happier is that there are occasional pilgrims to visit, donate some money or something, and the days are finally better.

Despite the endless suffering and bitterness of life, Tianchu never gave up the idea of finding the thunder and lightning demon, as long as he saved enough to go on the road, Tianchu would go down the mountain to hunt ghosts everywhere, while serving the people and earning some money by the way, while looking for clues to the evil ghost.

Three years ago, he took in a four-year-old orphan as an apprentice on his way down the mountain, and named him Yunzhen, and since then he has finally had another companion on his journey.

At the beginning of the day, I vaguely remember that the winter of the first encounter with Yunzhen came very early, just at the end of September, the sky was sprinkled with snow, and at the beginning of the day when Chen Yuanwai's house had just finished doing white things, he went home with heavy snow, who knew that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and he lost his feet and necks after a while.

The snow was still flying in large patches, accumulating thicker and thicker, and Tianxin was anxious, thinking that if the snow continued to fall like this, he might not be able to go up the mountain before dark, and then he would be trapped halfway up the mountain and starve to death if he didn't freeze to death.

At the beginning of the day, he was facing a violent storm and snow, wading through the knee-deep snow, squinting his eyes and struggling to climb the mountain, and the howling cold wind carried the snowflakes on Tianchu's face, and it hurt like a knife.

The snow was so thick that it was impossible to see where the pit was and when it was the bag, let alone the road, and the beginning of the day groped forward completely by feeling.

"Ouch, what's it?!"

At the beginning of the day, he was full of thoughts about the snow, and he didn't pay attention to his feet, he tripped over something soft under the snow, and his body was crooked and he didn't stand firmly, and he rolled down the mountain road at once.

The beginning of the day howled, the sky dizzily rolled down the steep slope, rolling into a big snowball, the snowball rolled faster and faster, the beginning of the day thought, it's over, this time it's miserable, Bai has climbed for so long and this time is going back to the foot of the mountain.

It may be that God has pity on Tianchu, or it may be that the ancestor has manifested his spirit, so that the snowball rolled at the beginning of the day was reversed when passing through a mountain bag, and finally hit a big tree and smashed the snowball, and Tianchu finally stopped.

"Why are you so unlucky today, you must have been unlucky in that stinky man's house, hum! For the rich and unkind, the family is a bastard, and he was given a few copper plates in a busy day, and he didn't even care about food, and he even had to climb the mountain twice, which was really infuriating! ”

Tianchu struggled to stand up, patting the snow on his body angrily, looking at the traces of his own rolling down all the way and the place where he tripped halfway up the mountain, Tianchu climbed up while cursing Chen Yuanwai's whole family, even his dog.

Finally crawled back to the place where he had just tripped, and at the beginning of the day he angrily peeled off the thick snow on top to see what had tripped over him, but he was surprised to find that a bare dirty little foot was exposed under the snowdrift, which was already red from the cold.

Startled at the beginning of the day, he hurriedly went to pick up the snow, and after a while, a small skinny little boy came out from under the snowdrift, looking two or three years old, wearing tattered clothes, not even shoes, black and thin little face, eyes closed, stubborn face, a messy hair that had not been washed for a long time, and the oil was all one by one.

Tianchu tried the little boy's snort and found that he was still angry, Tianchu hurriedly took off his cloth robe, wrapped the little boy tightly, and then tied the little boy to his back with a belt, no longer complaining about the slippery snow road, and crawled in the direction of Hanyangguan with his hands and feet against the heavy snow.

The sky gradually darkened, the snow was still falling, and the wind swept the snowflakes wantonly tore at the thin body of Tianchu, who was only fourteen years old at the time, Tianchu gritted his teeth, sweating profusely and crawling on the steep mountain road, and he kept repeating: "Hold on a little longer, it's coming soon, it's coming soon!" He kept encouraging himself and the skinny child behind him.

Even Tianchu feels unbelievable when he thinks back now, with such weather and such a road, he actually climbed back to the Taoist temple with a child on his back.

Finally returned to the Taoist temple, Tianchu almost climbed into the door, he had no strength at all, but he still forced the little boy behind him to untie down, rubbed his body warm with the snow on the ground, and then carried him into the house again, covered it with a quilt, Tianchu was so tired that he was about to fall apart, he just took a short rest, and then cheered up to boil hot water and heat some leftover porridge.

He boiled the bath water and carried the little boy into the wooden bathtub to soak it, while he was so tired that he fell asleep with the edge of the large tub.

Tianchu was woken up in a daze, he looked up and saw that the little boy in front of him had washed himself white, he was still a very delicate child, his thin face made his eyes look extraordinarily large, and he was staring at himself flickeringly, looking at his poor little appearance, Tianchu couldn't help but reach out and want to touch him.

The little boy was frightened and avoided Tianchu's hand, shrunk into a small ball like a wounded bird, shivering, Tianchu got up and went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of steaming porridge, brought it to the little boy, he scooped up a spoonful and blew it, then sniffed it, smacked his mouth and said, "Oh, this porridge is so fragrant, soft and smooth, it must be delicious, huh...... It's so fragrant. ”

The little boy saw the food and seemed to let down his guard, his eyes stared directly at the porridge in the bowl, swallowing saliva, his stomach rumbled, Tianchu handed a spoonful of porridge to the little boy's mouth, the little boy hesitated, swallowed the porridge in one bite, and then leaned forward to Tianchu, after Tianchu fed a few more mouthfuls, the little boy was not afraid of him at all, snatched the bowl in Tianchu's hand, held the bowl and drank the rest of the porridge with his head up, and then licked the rice grains in his mouth and handed the bowl to Tianchu, and said the first sentence.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you wait."

Tianchu was going to be a half-pot of leftover porridge for dinner was eaten by this kid at all, Tianchu touched his hungry flat stomach, with a smug smile on his face, he did a great good deed today, saved a life, what is it to eat less.

Tianchu took the little boy out of the bathtub, dried him, changed into clean clothes, looked at the little boy's arms as thin as small wooden sticks and protruding ribs, Tianxin asked painfully: "Little brother, why did you fall on the mountain road by yourself, what about your family?" ”

The little boy hesitated, then looked up and asked Tianchu: "Brother, I said, don't you drive me away, okay?" ”

Tianchu said in surprise: "How come? You say, I promise not to drive you away. ”

The little boy took a long breath and said, "I don't have any family, and I don't know what my name is, but everyone in the village calls me a broom star, and they say that everyone in my family has been killed by me, and they all bully me." ”

"It's too much, how can you treat a child like this, then how did you survive alone?"

"There is a land temple in the village, and I steal tribute to live, although I will be beaten every time I am found, but it is better than starving."

At the beginning of the day, tears came down when I heard it, I always felt that I was lonely and miserable, but I didn't expect this child to suffer so much at such a young age.

"Then why did you pass out here, where are you going?"

"I'm four years old, and when I'm older, I want to leave that village and go somewhere else to earn a living."

"Ahh You're four years old! Tianchu looked at the little boy in surprise, obviously only the height of a two-year-old child, but he was already four years old, Tianchu sighed, and felt even more pitiful for this child.

"Would you like to stay here and live with your brother, worship your brother as a teacher, and revitalize the cold sun concept together in the future, okay?"

The little boy happily took Tianchu's hand and said, "Really? Brother, don't you dislike me as a broom star? ”

"What a broom star, it's so ugly, I'll give you a nice name, I want to think about it...... Let's call it Yun Zhen. ”

"Yun Zhen, Yun Zhen, it's so good, great, I will have a name in the future!"

Under the care of Tianchu, Yun Zhen slowly gained a lot of weight, but he was still thinner than children of the same age, and every year at the beginning of the day, he would take Yun Zhen with him to collect ghosts, and slowly Tianchu found that Yun Zhen was really a special child, especially easy to cause trouble, and had nothing to do, and took Yun Zhen out of the mountain, at least the probability of seeing ghosts was many times higher than the original, but this also had a bit of a benefit, that is, the ability to descend demons and eliminate demons at the beginning of the day was getting stronger day by day, and the income was much better.

Thunder at the beginning of the day, Yun Zhen beckons disaster, such two people live together every other time they will fall into the frieze, and each time the loss is only one person at the beginning of the day, Yun Zhen is a clever ghost, since he knows that the master recruits thunder, every time it rains on a cloudy day, Yun Zhen hides far away from the beginning of the day, for fear that it will affect himself.

But I still didn't dodge it, once it was a moonlit and starry night, in the middle of the night, it suddenly rained heavily while the two were asleep, and a thunderbolt suddenly clicked down, and Yun Zhen was hit by Tianchu Lian before he even had time to escape.

Yun Zhen's split was really not light, the whole person exploded at once, Yun Zhen's whole body was black and mushy like charcoal, his hair was all blown up, he stared at the big eyes, spit out a puff of black smoke, and the person fell.

This frightened Tianchu, Tianchu was fine, although Yun Zhen fainted, except for blowing up a black body, it didn't seem to be much, but Tianchu gradually found out that Yun Zhen grew slowly, although I don't know if it has anything to do with being struck by lightning, but Tianchu still didn't dare to tell Yun Zhen, afraid that Yun Zhen would blame him, so Tianchu always blamed Yun Zhen for not growing up on his picky eater, fortunately, Yun Zhen also thought so.
