Chapter 1: Blood Debt
The remnant sun is like blood, hanging between the two green mountains.
Under the mottled old acacia, a dark-skinned old man was rolling up his sleeves, and his mouth was spitting at the surrounding villagers about the scenes of the immortal battles he had seen in the past.
I saw that the immortal put his fingers together, and the flying sword behind his back instantly turned into a flying dragon and rushed into the sky, where the flying sword passed, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the green mountains in the distance were instantly cut off by ......the flying sword. ”
Speaking of the highlights, there was an instant burst of cheers around him.
For these mountain people who have only wandered between Beishan Village and Beiguo Town all their lives, such a shocking immortal battle is not to mention seeing it. I haven't heard it a few times.
So even if I've listened to it countless times, when I hear something important, I still burst out with unusually high emotions.
However, in the crowd, there was a young man who behaved differently from everyone else from beginning to end, not only did his face not have the curiosity and excitement of the people around him, but on the contrary, there was a touch of vicissitudes that did not match his age.
Perhaps noticing the difference between the young man, the old man's eyes paused slightly, but he quickly hid it again, and continued to tell his unfinished story.
The boy stood in the crowd and listened for a while, then quietly turned to leave.
The slanting sun was still there, pulling the young man's thoughts far away, like the long shadow behind him.
A dream in ten years, whether it is Zhuang Zhou into a butterfly, or a butterfly into Zhuang Zhou.
Even the boy himself didn't know.
I'm afraid that the world called Earth will never go back.
Relatives, friends, classmates, as if it was yesterday, but it seems to be separated by thousands of mountains, so hazy.
As the saying goes, those who forsake me will not stay yesterday.
Ten years have passed, and even a drop of water through the stone may have been worn.
What's more, in this life, I already have concerns.
The mother who was only in her early thirties was already full of silver hair and faltering.
Ten years of hard work, even a piece of iron has been melted, not to mention a mother and son who are intertwined.
Thinking of his skinny mother who had been tormented by illness at home, Tang Yuan's face became more and more solemn.
I don't know if the immortal thing that Zhang Yi said is true. If it is true, even if you go all over the green mountains, you must find the elixir and cure your mother's evil disease.
has been a human being for two lives, except for the mother who has been taking care of his 'dumb' child for ten years, Tang Yuan has already been like iron.
The breeze blew and blew away Tang Yuan's long hair that was tied behind him at random, and with the face that looked silly in the past, it actually looked a little elegant.
I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a sound of soft footsteps behind him.
Without looking back, Tang Yuan knew that it was Zhang Yi who had come over.
It's right to think that anyone who listens to a sound for three years will become familiar
Unless he was a fool, it was obvious that Tang Yuan was not a fool, he just didn't want to speak.
Zhang Yi saw Tang Yuan waiting for him by the Qingqiao, and his face was not much surprised, but slowly walked to Tang Yuan's side and stopped.
Turning his head to look at Tang Yuan, those bottomless eyes looked back and forth on Tang Yuan's face, as if he wanted to find some clues from that immature face.
However, after a long time, it can only turn into a sigh.
It's been three years, is it really that he has lost his eyes, this Tang family kid is really a fool as the villagers of Beishan said?
But what is the explanation of the words I heard that day?
Could it really be that he had auditory hallucinations, but for Peiyuan-level cultivators, he couldn't even dream, let alone auditory hallucinations.
But if it wasn't auditory hallucinations, why hadn't the Tang kid said a word since that day.
Maybe the Tang kid is really a fool!
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Yi finally let out a sigh
Although the life of a monk is longer than that of ordinary people, it does not mean that he will live forever, and Zhang Yi is still burdened with the hope of inheriting his master. Three years is already a big price for him.
Once my heart is shaken, the thought of leaving comes to my mind in an instant.
With another long sigh, Zhang Yi turned his head to look at this face that he had seen countless times in the past three years.
"Well, since you and I have no chance, it's okay to leave, sometimes it's not a good thing to be a fool. ”
After speaking, he stopped beside Tang Yuan for another moment, and continued to walk forward.
Before he took two steps, he was stopped by a crisp voice behind him.
"Is there really an immortal in this world?"
The sound was like thunder, instantly making Zhang Yina's steps freeze in the air.
The voice fell for a long time before I heard Zhang Yi say quietly
"You're not stupid. ”
Tang Yuan didn't answer, but continued to ask
"Is there really an immortal in this world?"
Zhang Yi didn't expect Tang Yuan to ask this in the first sentence he spoke, he was slightly stunned, and then looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "Of course, the small people in the mountains don't know the immortal law, that's because of short-sightedness." ”
After speaking, seeing that Tang Yuan was silent, he knew that Tang Yuan was doubting what he said.
After pondering for a moment, he said loudly to Tang Yuan, "You are optimistic." ”
Then he said something in his mouth, and then stretched out his left hand, and swiped lightly in the air, only to see that the cuffs that were still shriveled suddenly swelled and rounded, and the cuffs were fiercely windy.
Zhang Yi shook it violently, and the next moment Gangfeng hit the bluestone slab not far away, only to see that the bluestone slab, which could not be injured by the sword, was actually smashed into powder in an instant.
Even though he was a human being in two lives, Tang Yuan's eyes were still wide in shock by the scene in front of him.
Zhang Yi on the side saw Tang Yuan's reaction, knowing that Tang Yuan was suppressed by his own means, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I can't even get started, if I really understand the immortal law, with the help of the power of the magic weapon, it is not a problem to move mountains and reclaim the sea." ”
Zhang Yi had just said half of his words when he suddenly heard a plop, and when he looked up, he saw that Tang Yuan was already kneeling in front of him.
"Ask the immortal master to save my mother from the anointment with the immortal method. ”
As soon as Tang Yuan's words came out, Zhang Yi, who had originally used magic to scare Tang Yuan, suddenly stiffened his face.
After a long time, he sighed faintly: "Even if it is an immortal technique, it is difficult to achieve a dead wood spring, and besides, your mother is already terminally ill." ”
Tang Yuan's body couldn't help shaking when he heard this, and tears suddenly rained down.
"There's really nothing you can do. ”
Seeing Tang Yuan's desperate face, Zhang Yi struggled in his heart for a long time before he spoke
"If there is no way, I don't know how much you can give?"
Hearing this, Tang Yuan shook slightly, pounced on Zhang Yi, and dragged Zhang Yi to him
"As long as I can save my mother, I am willing to pay whatever the price. ”
Facing Tang Yuan's devouring expression, even Zhang Yi, who was in the body of the immortal law, couldn't help but take two steps back.
After settling down, Zhang Yi stared at Tang Yuan with his eyes and said slowly:
"You can think about it, there are some things that you can't go back on once you've decided. ”
"No regrets until death. ”
"Even if you live your life upside down, will you not hesitate?"
"Whatever you want!"
I didn't expect Tang Yuan to answer so decisively.
Zhang Yi looked at Tang Yuan in some surprise, and only after a while did he smile to himself
"That's right, a person who can be silent for ten years has a mind that ordinary people can compare. ”
After that, he paused and continued:
"Now that you've decided, I'll help you. If you wait for me for a while, at least ten days, or more than a month, I will take the elixir, and I dare not say that it will definitely be able to make your mother healed, but it is still possible to prolong your life for one or two decades. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Tang Yuan to speak, he pressed his hand lightly
"But then you have to keep your promises. ”
After speaking, two sharp rays suddenly burst out from a pair of starry eyes, shooting towards Tang Yuan's face.
Facing the coercion in Zhang Yi's eyes, Tang Yuan raised his head and stared at Zhang Yi and said: "The eldest husband has made a word, it is difficult to do anything, as long as I can cure my mother's illness, I will agree to any conditions." ”
Zhang Yi laughed out loud after hearing this
"Okay, you're waiting, I'll go and come back"
After speaking, he turned around and strode into Tang Yuan's eyes.
......................................................................................................
Beishan Village, in the dilapidated courtyard of the Tang family.
Two bearded men lifted a scrawny woman to a man in a dress, with eagle-nosed harrier eyes and a gloomy face.
The surname of the prince of Huafu is Wang, and the double character Xuanyi is the second son of the Wang family of the first family of Beiguo.
"Tang Clan, tell me quickly, where is your Tang family's Black Tiger Fist Sutra?" At this moment, Wang Xuanyi said with a gloomy face staring at the woman in front of him.
"Wang Gongzi, our family really doesn't have the Black Tiger Fist Sutra you said," Tang begged bitterly.
Seeing that Tang was unwilling to tell the whereabouts of the Black Tiger Fist Sutra, Wang Xuanyi's face sank suddenly, and he grabbed Tang's hair fiercely with one hand, and pulled it outward suddenly, and the hair that was already extremely thin was pulled off in an instant.
The red blood trickled down Tang's cheeks, and in just an instant, half of Tang's face was red with blood, reflecting in everyone's eyes, like Shura crawling out of hell.
The sharp pain made Tang's eyes widen subconsciously. However, in the eyes of the two bearded men, the taste changed
"Shout, you slut still dare to stare at our son, it seems that you are really impatient. ”
As soon as the words fell, one of the bearded men smashed Tang in the abdomen.
The fifth order of condensation, the power of a punch is as heavy as a thousand pounds, not to mention the Tang family, who has been tormented by illness all the year round, is a bull that is alive and well, and I am afraid that he will also be dying after being punched by this bearded man.
I saw that the Tang clan, who was hit by the big man's fist, flew more than ten meters away like a kite with a broken string, and smashed heavily on the ground.
Originally, after being punched by the bearded man, Tang's ribs had been shattered by seven or eight pieces, and at this moment, he fell to the ground heavily, and all the remaining dozen ribs were broken.
Without the support of his ribs, his body and internal organs were instantly squeezed together, and the pain in his heart made Tang's face twist together.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't let go of Tang Yuan, the stupid boy who hadn't returned home yet, I was afraid that he would have whined on the spot immediately.
At the moment, the Tang family has more gas out and less air intake.
But Wang Xuanyi had no intention of stopping. In a few days, it will be the day of the selection of apprentices for the Heavy Sword Pavilion.
Wang Xuanyi also wanted to get the Black Tiger Fist Sutra that had been on his father's lips before the selection of apprentices in the Heavy Sword Pavilion, practice it, and give the eldest brother's senior brother Liu Shaodian, who had eyes above the top, to see some color on the day of the selection of apprentices. See if he dares to point fingers in front of him in the future.
Isn't it just that he entered the Heavy Sword Pavilion two years earlier, what is arrogant, and he is not a dog at the feet of his uncle. Don't think that cultivation is great when you reach the pinnacle of concrete.
Lao Tzu wants you to know that even if Lao Tzu doesn't practice the Heavy Sword Pavilion Immortal Method, he can still beat you to your knees and beg for mercy.
Of course, it would be better if he could beat Liu Shaodian to his knees and beg for mercy in front of that magnolia fairy.
By the way, there is also the magnolia fairy, what is pretending to be high, no matter how high, it is not to be slept with by Lao Tzu, my father has promised himself, as long as he can successfully enter the Chongjian Pavilion this time, he will personally go to ask his uncle to be a matchmaker and promise Xiao Zhiyue to be his wife.
Thinking of the delicate carcass of the Magnolia Fairy, Wang Xuanyi couldn't help but throb.
But before that, Wang Xuanyi had to personally beat her nosy Senior Brother Liu all over the ground in front of the Magnolia Fairy.
So that the Magnolia Fairy can see who is the real pride of the sky.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Xuanyi's idea of getting the Black Tiger Fist Sutra became stronger and stronger.
The two bearded men glanced at their son-in-law, and when they saw that their son-in-law did not signal to stop, they were ready to step forward again to pull the Tang clan, who was already lying on the ground and dying.
Just as he was about to make a move, a black shadow rushed over without warning.
The shadow came so suddenly that it knocked one of the bearded men to the ground.
The instinct of the martial artist made the big man subconsciously swing his right fist and smash it towards the black shadow.
The next moment, an iron fist smashed against the black shadow.
With a bang, the black shadow that was hit by the fist, like a bead with a broken thread, flew out more than ten meters away, fell heavily to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust.
The three of them followed the prestige, only to see a half-grown boy on the ground with red blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, panting heavily. But it was the young Tang Yuan who was listening to the book under the old locust tree before.
"Yo, isn't this the fool of the Tang Qing family?" After Wang Xuanyi saw the black shadow that fell to the ground, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said to the bearded servant beside him in a playful tone.
Wang Xuanyi has heard of the stupid son of the Tang family, but he has become a fool since Tang Qing's death, and he can't say a word.
So after seeing the person clearly, I started to joke.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he slammed on Tang's face with one foot and said, "I said Tang, you don't want to hand over the Black Tiger Fist Sutra even if you die, you won't expect your second fool to fail to cultivate." ”
The two bearded slaves next to him laughed loudly when they heard their son-in-law's words: "A lowly fool who can't even let out a fart still wants to practice the exercises, it's just a fool's dream." ”
"Yuan'er is not a fool" Hearing Wang Xuanyi and the two bearded family slaves laughing at Tang Yuan, although his viscera was already painful and he couldn't make a sound, Tang still hissed desperately.
Almost every time he said a word, a large mouthful of blood spilled out of his mouth.
Tang Yuan, who was on the side, looked at his mother, who had been stained with blood, and suddenly burst into tears. The atrium in the left chest was like a thousand ants biting, and I couldn't speak in pain.
At this moment, Tang Yuan had only one thought in his heart, that is, to protect the thin figure that had protected him between his arms for ten years in his arms.
Tang Yuan exerted all his strength to get up from the ground, but he was only halfway up when he was trampled on the top of his head by a big foot, and then Tang Yuan felt a huge force coming from the top of his head.
That big foot was like Mount Tai at the moment, pressing Tang Yuan so that he couldn't move in the slightest, Tang Yuan's face was close to the ground, and he had even been deformed by stepping on. The sharp pain had already contorted Tang Yuan's face together.
But Tang Yuan didn't realize it at all, because at this moment, Tang Yuan's heart was all tied to the thin figure opposite.
"Hey, these two fools still want to struggle, but this strength is really too small, not even an ant. ”
The bearded man who trampled Tang Yuan under his feet sneered loudly.
The other bearded man echoed, raised his fist and beckoned to Tang again. Poor Tang had already used all his strength to shout that sentence just now, and no matter how the big man tortured him at this moment, there was no other sound in Tang's mouth except for the sound of 'poof' spurting blood.
In the eyes of the bearded man, Tang's cheap life is not as good as a chicken of the Wang family, if it weren't for the calculation of killing the son who was ruined, the bearded man would have smashed Tang into mashed meat with one punch.
After a few more punches, Tang's breathing was already inaudible.
Outside the courtyard of the Tang family, a hurried voice suddenly sounded.
"Childe, the master asked you to go back immediately, saying that the immortal disciples of the Heavy Sword Pavilion are coming, so let you hurry up to meet you. ”
"Didn't you say that you will come in ten days, why do you come now? ”
Wang Xuanyi couldn't help but scold when he heard this. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still decided to go to greet the immortal disciples of the Heavy Sword Pavilion first, after all, worshipping the Heavy Sword Pavilion was the most important thing, and as for finding the Black Tiger Fist Sutra to give that Liu Shaodian color or something, it was only secondary.
And looking at the appearance of the Tang family, the Tang family probably doesn't have any Raushzi Black Tiger Fist Sutra at all. Otherwise, a little Tang clan was tortured by himself, and he would have already confessed the whereabouts of the Black Tiger Fist Sutra.
I knew that this would be the result, so I didn't come to the Tang family, and I soiled my clothes for no reason.
Glancing at Tang Yuan's mother and son lying on the ground like dead dogs, Wang Xuanyi scolded loudly, and then said viciously
"Count your fate, today and spare the lives of your mother and son dogs, if you don't hand over the Black Tiger Fist Sutra next time, this son will chop you up and feed the dogs. ”
After speaking, he didn't look at Tang Yuan's mother and son, took the reins handed by the little servant, jumped on the horse, and shouted at the two bearded men on the side
"Let's go ....... ”
The next moment, three big horses galloped out of the dilapidated courtyard of the Tang family, and the horses' hooves passed by, and the dried vegetables that the Tang family had originally dried in the courtyard were trampled everywhere.
Without the suppression of the bearded man, Tang Yuan endured the sharp pain from his body and jumped up from the ground.
rushed to Tang Clan, hugged Tang Clan, who could barely touch his breath, in his arms and cried loudly.
"Mother...... Wake up, mother, don't sleep ....... ”
Maybe he was holding on to his breath and waiting for his son to come back, but after being shouted by Tang Yuan, the Tang clan, who was already almost out of breath, woke up faintly.
It's just that because the ribs are broken, I can't exert my strength, so I struggled for a long time before a word popped out of my mouth.
Looking at his mother, who was full of fresh food in his arms and couldn't even say a whole sentence during the blood period, Tang Yuanzhi felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife. I had a thousand words in my heart, but I couldn't say a single word at the moment.
"Mother, it's okay, my son has already asked for the elixir for you, as long as you hold on for a while and take the elixir, you will definitely recover." ”
Perhaps because he was happy that his son could finally speak, the corners of Tang's mouth, whose faces had been twisted together because of visceral colic, actually pulled out a smile.
But the next moment, the smile twisted together
Perhaps feeling that he was about to die, Tang's body, which was originally lying in Tang Yuan's arms, suddenly slammed into his arms. Struggled with the best strength of her life
"Yuan'er, my mother can't do it, I can't take care of you in the future, and the rest of the way depends on you alone.
"Originally, my mother was worried that you couldn't speak, and you couldn't live alone, but now it's okay, you can speak, and your mother can go to see your father with peace of mind."
Speaking of this, Tang's voice was obviously much lower, but he still struggled to breathe his last breath
"Yuan'er, you now listen to my mother, there is a secret compartment under my mother's dressing box, which is our family heirloom, take it and leave here as far away as possible, my mother doesn't want you to take revenge, I just want you to be safe... Safe. Tang's voice became lower and lower, and finally it was completely lifeless
"Mother......
A mournful sound came out along the courtyard of the Tang family, resounding throughout the sky.
