The Yaoguang Continent is surrounded by the sea on all sides, but it is so vast that many people will not be able to see it in their entirety throughout their lives.

In the southeast of the mainland, there is a country named Morning Star, although Morning Star is small, there are all kinds of things, there is a small city named Ling Tian in its southeast corner, there is a small village dozens of miles outside Ling Tian City, people call Banyan Village. It is said that when the ancestors built the village, they saw that there were many banyan trees growing here, so they gave it this name.

Here is open on all sides, from time to time there is a banyan tree dotted among them, not far away Qianmo vertical and horizontal, a small stream, flowing through, a square pond in the banyan tree like a shadow. Here, the adults live a life of male farmers and female weavers, although it is hard, but because of the proximity to the city, there are no thieves, no beasts, and life is very peaceful and happy. There is only one word in children's lives: play.

"Chen Jing, come here, there are more fish here. A slightly obese little boy shouted as he stood by the pond. The pond was dug by hand, and a banyan tree stretched out its lush branches obliquely towards the pond, and several houses sat side by side next to it, when a thin boy ran out of the alley between the two rows of houses, dressed in a short linen coat, barefoot, with a bamboo fishing rod in his left hand and a worn-out fishing basket in his right hand, and said as he ran: "Here it is, here it is." ”

"Be quiet, don't scare the fish away. ”

"Oh. Chen Jing nodded, looked in the direction pointed by her little friend, and saw that the water was rippling, and from time to time fish surfaced, picking up the branches and leaves fallen by the banyan tree, and the trees, "Little fatty, it's okay, this place is good." After speaking, he stretched out his thumb to Chubby.

"That's, and don't look at who I am. Xiaopang said proudly, "Don't talk nonsense, I have inquired, the owner of this pond, Lao Wang, went out, and came back after dark, let's hurry." After speaking, he took out his fishing rod, which was made of bamboo like Chen Jing's, but carefully smeared with a layer of wax oil, so that it would not be damaged so easily.

"I'm so tired, I'll rest first. ”

"I'm tired of walking like this, my father told me that the strong in this world are respected. How can you do without a good body? Chubby patted his chest proudly and said.

"If you don't blow it, you'll die, as long as you're still strong, wash and sleep. Chen Jing looked at his round belly and said disdainfully. "It's nice to have food and drink. ”

"It's not easy to eat and drink, like our older generation, with the protection of the state, it couldn't be simpler to be self-sufficient. If you want to be successful, you have to cultivate immortals. Look at those who cultivate immortals and practice the Tao, which one is not very powerful. I plan to go to Xuanzong to apprentice after finishing my private school in a few years, learn a trick and a half, and I am also the number one person in our village, haha. "My friend Chubby is immersed in his own imagination and can't extricate himself.

Xuanzong was the only sect in Ling Tiancheng and was quite famous in the vicinity. Legend in the village said that the sect master of Xuanzong was a master of Taoism, who could fly to the sky and escape to the earth, and once single-handedly took on a whole group of robbers. In addition to cultivating talents for his own sect, Xuanzong also cultivated elites for the country, and his status in Ling Tian City was second only to the City Lord's Mansion.

It took a long time for Chubby to come back to his senses and say, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”

"Hmm. Chen Jing responded, took out his fishing rod, and carefully hung the earthworm on the hook. Looking left and right, I caught a glimpse of the banyan tree being carefully cleaned up in a clean place. What a place, Chen Jing thought and walked there.

"Eh, what are you doing. Just as Chen Jing walked to that position, the little fat behind him said, but his voice was a little hurried because of nervousness.

"Hee-hee, of course I'm sitting here. Chen Jing didn't wait for Chubby to say anything, sat down in the clean position, and then turned to smile at his friend.

But if you look closely, it feels different, Chubby is really nervous.

"Chubby, what's wrong?" Chen Jing asked strangely.

"You don't know, this place was actually told to me by my neighbor Xiao Wang, he sat down when he saw that it was clean, how did he know that it was a place with no money to spend, and he was beaten and is still lying at home. ”

No money to spend the original name Huatong, his father Hua Fugui was very young with his parents to go out to make a living, and then I don't know what good luck he bumped into, made a fortune, went back to the village to buy the boss a piece of land, built a big house, nearly half a hundred years old gave birth to a son, that is, Huatong, because it is an only son, Hua Fugui is extremely doting on it, resulting in Huatong's bad nature, causing trouble everywhere, almost everyone in the village has been beaten by his subordinates, but his father is rich, domineering, plus helped the village build a few roads, built a few temples, everyone has to get by, but the children in the village secretly gave him a nickname"There is no money to spend".

"He said that what was his was his, and I said it was mine. Chen Jing said unhappily after listening to Xiaopang's words. "Isn't it just that his father has a lot of money, what's the big deal? ”

"That is, if I enter Xuanzong and learn immortal arts, I will definitely give him a good look. When Xiaopang heard Chen Jing's words, Xu was a child's heart, and he also had the courage to say a cruel word.

"I said why is it so windy here, it turns out that someone is bragging. Just as Chubby finished speaking, a shrill voice came from behind, and the two immediately turned to look. I saw the little fat man with a round head and a round face appear behind him, his hair was tied diagonally, his feet were wearing silk boots, and the silk clothes on his body were very incongruously attached to the protruding belly. Next to them were two children of the same age, but the clothes on their bodies were a little shabby. However, they each held a golden fishing rod in their hands, and one held a very ornate fish basket, which was estimated to be expensive. There are two big men who are two people tall, and they look panicked. Why did you come here with no money to spend this thing, and you are going to be beaten, the two friends thought at the same time.

"Who said they wanted me to look good. After speaking, he glanced at the two of them, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, and said, "Well, I'm in a good mood today, I only hit one, whoever moves first, I will let him go." ”

Chen Jing guessed in her heart that Huatong was trying to sow discord, so cunning. Later, it turned out that Hua Tong's decision was really because he was in a good mood, but someone thought too much.

Chen Jing glanced at the little fat next to her. Xiaopang has moved to their village in the past two years, and the two have a good time, he really values this friendship, and thinks about planning to resist it. was about to speak, but he heard his partner next to him speak, "It was him who said it, it was him, it wasn't me who said it, no." After speaking, he pointed in Chen Jing's direction. Anyone could hear the trembling in his words, he was really afraid of the flower boy, but his words were like a thorn that pierced into his partner's heart. Chen Jing glanced at Xiaopang, sighed, turned his head and walked towards the three of them around the corner.

"That's what I said, whatever. "Maybe it's a lack of nutrition, maybe it's innate. As a farmer's child, Chen Jing is thin and small, and his parents rarely let him work in the fields, and if he does, he only does things such as pulling weeds and removing insects. So let him devote himself to studying, so that he could find an easier errand in the future. He knows his own situation, although he usually insists on exercising, running, and waving his fists like an adult, but the effect is not great. But the personality is very strong, and when the anger comes up, it doesn't matter if you are a human or a ghost.

"Yo, boy, it's okay, it's amazing, I'm so scared. Saying that, he pretended to be scared, which made the four people behind him laugh, "It's a pity that I'm better than you." After speaking, he waved his hand at the two servants next to him, and the two big men knocked Chen Jing to the ground, fortunately, they were sure of the strength, otherwise a child would not have beaten two adults to see the king of Hades early, Chen Jing only felt that he had been beaten for a long time, and then heard a shrill voice coming, "Don't fish, go home." Haha, the weather is nice today. After speaking, he led the two servants away, looking at their distant backs, Chen Jing's eyes were full of resentment, if I am rich and powerful, if I have the ability, if I ..... Will it still be like this? He never had the same thirst for power as he did now. looked at his former friend who was standing beside him, smiled bitterly, and struggled to get up and walk home step by step.

Flower family compound.

An old man with gray hair sat on the stairs at the edge of the lobby, occasionally looking up at the sky. At this time, there was a noise at the front door, and a teenager walked in and casually called, "Dad, I'm back." ”

"Tong'er, I'm back. After speaking, Hua Fugui looked at Hua Tong, "Are you beating people again?"

"No, no. Hua Tong said in a hurry.

"Bastard, how many times have I told you, it's all from the villagers, don't think about beating people at every turn. Hua Fugui said angrily.

"A boy who doesn't have long eyes, occupies my fishing place, I can't teach it a lesson. ”

When Hua Fugui heard this, he immediately stood up, "Where is you, if your mother hadn't died early, I would have slapped you to death right now, and now, you will go back to my room and stay." You are not allowed to come out without my order. After saying that, he didn't wait for Hua Tong to say anything, maybe he knew that it was useless to say anything, and Hua Tong threw off his sleeve robe and walked back to his room.

Chen Jing's home.

"Silly boy, why do you have nothing to do to provoke that thing, fortunately it's just a skin injury, it's already good, you don't know, Xiao Wang next door was beaten last month, that's a miserable one, and now he's still lying at home. ”

"I told you a long time ago, study hard, study well, get a good job in the future, you can have no worries about food and clothing, marry a wife and have children in two years, and the family will be happy, isn't it?"

"When you see that thing in the future, how far away and how far you hide, you don't know how badly Xiao Wang was beaten next door, his mother's eyes are swollen from crying. ”

After a language bombardment of her mother, Chen Jing habitually chose to filter. Then I looked at my father, although my father was a farmer, he was also well-informed and old.

"Dad, I want to cultivate immortals, I want to become very powerful. A simple, direct and immature sentence blocked my mother's words, and my father was embarrassed when he heard his words. He walked around the house over and over again. He was deliberating how to express himself to him. After waiting for a long time, he said: "Child, my father has been in Ling Tiancheng, and the people who cultivate immortals have seen a lot, although the cultivation can be prosperous and rich, but it is also full of dangers, maybe when he will be in a different place, and his wife and children will be harmed, listen to his father's advice, suffering losses is a blessing, ability is important, but no matter how high the ability is, what is the use of worrying all day long? Where can it be compared to living a peaceful life." It sounds like a bit of reason, Chen Jing hesitated, a 10-year-old boy has little ability to think in the face of this kind of life choice. The matter is over.

With a little injury on her body, Chen Jing successfully stayed in bed at home for a week, and was finally driven back to the private school by her father to study.
