"Daddy of Heavenly Bitterness", Pat gave a salute to Heavenly Bitterness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Daddy, we're listening to Uncle Pat talk about him leading his squad of spirit soldiers to slay demons. Yang San tugged at the corner of Daddy's clothes and said, "Uncle Pat is really powerful, he killed three big demons at one time, have you ever seen a big demon?" Yang San looked at the bitter father with wide eyes, for fear of hearing something, if it was before, the one who told Yang San the story of demons and monsters, Yang San thought it was a trick to deceive people and coax children, but in the realm of half a sky, monsters exist, as long as the people on the Wasteland are over forty or fifty years old, and they will go to the dark demon realm with the Demon Punishment Expeditionary Force in the Heavenly Pivot Country to punish demons like the village chief of Pat, Yang San is very worried, maybe a monster jumped out of the mountain stream that day and ate himself.
"Gua'er, Daddy can compare with Uncle Pat", Daddy Tianku kindly touched Yang San's little head and said: "Your Uncle Pat is Bingxuan, the most powerful genius in our ten miles and eight towns, Daddy is just an ordinary mortal, so there is a chance to see the demons of the Dark Demon Realm."
"By the way, the village chief will have a market in the town tomorrow, and I will go to the town market tomorrow to sell some farm tools, if you need anything for me to help you bring some things back," said the bitter old man to Pat. The mountain people have a simple personality and love to help each other, which is extremely similar to the mountain people in the mortal world.
"Daddy has a heart, and I'll go to town tomorrow." The village chief Pat glanced at a group of children in the village who were listening to the story, and said to the bitter father, "Daddy, I have something I want to tell you."
"Gua'er, go over there with your friends to play for a while, Daddy has something to talk to Uncle Pat for a while."
"Daddy, I'm going to the market with you tomorrow." Yang Sanyan tilted his head and looked at Tian Kudao.
"Gu'er is so good, Daddy will call you early tomorrow morning. Tianku gently pushed Yang San's shoulders: "Let's go play."
"The Demon of Heaven is gone." A group of children similar to Yang San blasted away.
"Tian Ku Dad, Tiangua is also six years old this year, the town also informed our village that the children who need to go to school this year are ready to sign up tomorrow, you see if Gua'er will also report to him, in a few days I will take a few of their children to the county town to experience the soul, the soul needs 10 silver spirit coins, if you need 20 silver spirit coins for heart testing, you have to prepare in advance."
"Ahem, village chief, you know, our family's fruits, vegetables, grain and rice are all bitter, and we can't carry them to the market to sell some money like others, so we can only make some farm tools and sell some in the market tomorrow to make up a little. The bitter father said with an embarrassed face.
"That's the case, it's not in the way, how much can be made up, if you need to measure the heart, I'll tiptoe some first, hehe, if the melon can measure the heart of heaven, we all have to take the light of the melon." Pat made a joke to resolve the embarrassment of the bitter father.
Tiangua is the name given to him by Yang San's father in the realm of half-heavens, Yang San thinks it is very difficult to hear, but he can't be a little kid, anyway, it is better than the earth and their village is called dogs, dogs, and Gazi, and they recognize it as soon as they grit their teeth.
The children of the half-heavenly realm will be sent to the town to study at the age of six, the Tao is similar to the earth, the difference is that you need to go to the county to check the body and experience the spirit, if they are all mortals, they must measure the heart, and the required expenses must be paid by themselves, and the price is expensive, which is equivalent to the income of a rural farmer for two years. If you test the physique that can cultivate the soul power of the Dan Spiritual Force, you will go to the county to study in the spiritual school to learn the methods of primary spiritual cultivation and simple combat techniques, all of which are free, and the half-heavenly realm attaches great importance to spiritual cultivation, especially the monks who have returned from participating in the battle of demon punishment, they can find a career with a good income, if they do some small things to sell and buy, but they are tax-free.
In the realm of Half Heaven, ordinary people have to pay poll tax and farming tax every year, and the operation and demon collection fees of each divine kingdom are obtained through the collection of taxes on ordinary people and large merchant houses, and the tax payment of high-level monks running large commercial houses is less than half of that of similar commercial houses, which is an incentive mechanism for cultivators in the realm of Half Heaven, and it is also a symbol of social status.
And those who are found to be unable to cultivate their spirits in the county's physical examination pavilion, such as farming physique, grazing soul physique, and forging physique, will enter the ordinary school in the town to receive various education based on their physical strengths, such as business physique, and will teach some ways of business.
Early the next morning, the bitter father pushed a wheelbarrow, pulled some farm tools and bamboo baskets, and Yang San carried a small bamboo basket of wild fruits from the mountain streams picked yesterday, some bitter fruits in his own yard and some bitter gourds in the garden, and a small piece of grass lotus for swinging the beach. Yang San is going to the beach to subsidize the family, and yesterday he heard that the family did not have enough money to pay for his soul test, so he started a small abacus to set up the beach, and the children of the poor family were already in charge.
"Melon, the bitter fruit is too bitter, no one will buy it."
"Daddy, it's not, the bitter fruit is cold and good for illness, whoever is on fire will sell it." Yang San said a folk saying about the earth.
"By the way, Daddy, is it true that Uncle Pat said that you are the Spirit King who has been sealed with spiritual power and has been sent here?" Yang San stared at the bitter father with his cerebellum. Although Yang San has the memory of thirty or forty years on the earth, he is affected by the body becoming an infant and young child, and his mind is only six or seven years old, and his speech is simple and direct.
"Hmm", Tianku's father was slightly stunned, stopped the wheelbarrow, and then said happily: "Gu'er listened to Uncle Pat's story with you again, when your grandma and I came to Tianku Village 500 years ago." Your Uncle Pat hasn't been born yet, and in fact, your grandma and I are also because of .........."
Tianku's father and his wife never told anyone a story before they came to Tianku, and sometimes the same is true in heaven and mortal: it is better not to know some things than to know, and all lies are false, but some lies are called white lies.
Coming to the bazaar, Yang San said goodbye to the bitter father, came to the bazaar to sell fruits and vegetables, found a very small place to spread the grass lotus, and put a small pile of their specialties: Tianling bitter fruit, bitter gourd and mountain stream wild fruit, and then the tender voice and tender voice shouted: "Bitter fruit cold medicine to go to the fire, not cold, not bitter, no money, one spirit copper coin a small pile, two spirit copper coins three piles." As a result, Yang San came to the half-heaven realm for six years, and finally adapted to the living environment of the half-heaven realm, the memory and shadow of Yang Dada, who had fallen on the earth and created brilliance, were gradually leaving him, and the story of the child named Tiangua in the half-heaven realm gradually came to him as the little Tiangua grew up day by day.
