It's like having a long, long dream—

Vague but painful, sad but long

It's the blurred back of the man when he leaves,

It is a steamed bun that is hard to choke on, and it is the cold rain leaking from a broken house

It's the red that blurs the vision and covers the eyes

It was the moonlight that sloped down in front of the dirt slope.

No, neither,

In a long, long dream, what I dreamed was-

The boy opened his eyes, a strange and ordinary room, wrapped in a quilt, and a fire burning in the center of the room.

The boy sat up from the bed, and found that his clothes had been changed, the thin linen clothes had long been changed, and there was a cotton dress many sizes larger than his body, the gray cotton clothes were very ordinary, unpretentious, but they gave people a sense of peace of mind. The fire in the room was burning, the wound on the foot had stopped bleeding, and the medicine was applied and tied with strips of cloth, not very delicate and even a little rough to some extent, but it could be seen that the process of applying the medicine was very serious and skillful.

"Squeak"

The sound of the wooden door opening sounded in the boy's ears, and it seemed that the owner of the room had returned, and the boy hurriedly lay down, closed his eyes, and pretended that he had never woken up, but in fact he was squinting and secretly observing.

This is a man in his thirties and forties, wearing almost the same gray cotton clothes as his body, and his hair and beard all over his body, I don't know how long he has not taken care of it, sloppy, this is undoubtedly everyone's first impression of this man. Holding a long-used wine gourd in one hand and a paper bag in the other, he took a sip of wine and placed it on the table in the room, then sat down, turned his back to the boy, and added two more pieces of wood to the stove so that it could burn more vigorously.

"Now that you're awake, don't sleep. ”

The sloppy man said, although he never looked back at the boy on the bed from beginning to end, but where could the young man's small movements escape his eyes?

"Hot. ”

Just when the young man was still thinking about how to open his mouth to solve the embarrassing situation, the sloppy man spoke first, and at the same time handed him a steaming big steamed bun, I don't know how many days I haven't eaten a full meal The young man couldn't hold it when he saw the big steamed bun, and quickly said thank you and then took the steamed bun, took it in his hand and ate it in a big gulp.

"Slow down, no one is robbing you. The sloppy man looked at the young man's appearance of eating steamed buns, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a chuckle, and then he paused and said:

"It's better than I imagined, it's okay to change your leg medicine again, where is your home, I'll send you." ”

When he heard the word "home", the young man stopped gobbling up, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in his eyes, but the reason forced him to endure it, and the teardrops never fell.

Home, gone, whether it was never there or whether it was lost or not, he didn't know.

"What's your name. The sloppy man sensed something from the thin boy's reaction, and turned his head to the side to avoid seeing the tears rolling in the young man's eyes as much as possible, but he couldn't let go of his heart, and said slowly for a long time.

“...... My name is Ye Chaoxiao. ”

"Towards the hero, it's a good thing. The sloppy man's pupils fluctuated slightly, but then he returned to his old self, and after a while, he said:

"At the age of thirteen, the True Yuan Force is only at the fifth level, although there are acquired factors in it, but the innate weakness of the constitution is the most fundamental reason. Not to mention how strong your cultivation is, even among your peers, you are at the bottom, and the injuries on your body are probably also beaten by other peers. ”

Young man, no, Ye Chaoxiao's pupils suddenly constricted, and the middle-aged sloppy uncle in front of him, who didn't look good, actually saw through himself easily in such a short period of time, and his situation would actually be understood clearly.

"When you change the dressing, you can infer your age from your bone age, and when you probe the true yuan power, you can also probe the meridians of your whole body by the way, people with a higher level can do it, you don't need to be surprised. The sloppy man looked back at him gently, although it was still so unkempt, but at this time the man gave people a different feeling.

"You...... Do you have a way for me to cultivate?" Ye Chaoxiao heard a little mystery from the sloppy man's words, and immediately became excited, and even the address of the sloppy man was instantly changed to "you". The innate true yuan power is only half a level, which is almost an uncultivated qualification, which is undoubtedly one of the knots in his heart that he can't let go.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have saved you, and I would have been in so much trouble. ”

The sloppy man ignored Ye Chaoxiao's surprise, and just looked at the ceiling and said as if talking to himself. Then he stood up, walked to Ye Chaoxiao's bed, and covered Ye Chaoxiao's eyes with his thick and powerful hands, and before Ye Chaoxiao could react, he heard the man's voice:

"Test you, let's talk about it, what you know about cultivation, say it well, I might consider it. ”

Ye Chaoxiao paused for a moment, then reacted, and said unhurriedly:

"When everyone is still in the womb, there is a mouthful of true vitality contained in the body, and after birth, the level is determined according to the true yuan power transformed by the true vitality in the body, half to ten levels. The level of true yuan power determines the future of cultivation, and the day after tomorrow can also improve the level of true yuan power through condensation and purification, and when the true yuan power reaches the tenth level, you can officially cultivate, combining your own innate true yuan power with the heaven and earth aura of the outside world to form a battle qi.

Cultivating battle qi is the beginning of cultivation, and it is also the only way, from the beginning of the war to the nine stages of the battle number fight, the real powerhouse ......"

"I know a lot, you're barely qualified. ”

Ye Chaoxiao kept talking, and did not stop until he heard the sloppy man's voice, and the sloppy man also took his hands away from Ye Chaoxiao's eyes. When Ye Chaoxiao saw the scene in the room, he was stunned the moment -

No more, no less, exactly nine corpses.
