The two of them were crazy with hunger, ran to the back mountain, dug out the remaining roasted sweet potatoes like dogs, and ate them in large gulps, like starving ghosts reincarnated, a pot of water for two people, you take a bite and I take a bite, and eat very happily.

There is a forest in the back mountain, and through the forest is the place where the war has always been, it is a battlefield cemetery, many people have died, no one dares to approach there, the yin qi is strong, and the evil qi is hidden.

At this moment, the two old men stood in the forest, looking at Xu Daoyan and Wu Xiaobai.

One of the old men has a strong physique, surging blood and blood, dark skin, holding a hammer in his hand, with all kinds of mysterious veins on it, his eyes are shining, looking at Wu Xiaobai, and he smiled excitedly: "I didn't expect to go around with you, I really picked up a big living treasure, a good person for thousands of years, a golden lotus of merit, ninety-nine perfection, thousands of lives, flawless soul, is a good seedling!"

"His son, let's talk about a wicked person, I can't talk about it, let's say a good person, I can't compare with you, and my qualifications are average, but my heart is very firm, this is the only advantage, if I don't owe his father a favor, I won't accept such a disciple!" The person who spoke was the old beggar who had eaten Xu Daoyan's baked sweet potatoes just now, he was in a mess, his dry body was very thin, there were a few worms wriggling in his hair, and he had a black stick in his hand, he couldn't see anything powerful, and he couldn't compare with the old man next to him.

"No matter, anyway, I have to accept this Wu Xiaobai as an apprentice. The old man was very excited, and the blood in his body was surging and surging.

"Don't be in a hurry, go your separate ways. ”

Dusk is gradually falling.

Xu Daoyan looked at Wu Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, you go back first, I want to go to the back mountain alone, you tell my aunt, just say that tonight, I live at your house." ”

Because the relationship between Xu Daoyan and Wu Xiaobai is very good, the two of them have played together since they were children, and they often sleep in each other's houses, which is normal.

"I heard that there are ghosts in the back mountains at night, do you think the ghosts in our village will run out of the back mountains?"

"It's okay, I won't stay too late, I'm going to find out if there's anything else to eat besides sweet potatoes, you are timid to go back first, I will go back soon, remember to send the roasted sweet potatoes in the evening to my aunt, otherwise she will be hungry." Xu Daoyan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Daoyan, you have to come back early, I'll wait for you at home." Wu Xiaobai didn't care much about it and left, because since he was a child, he was relatively fat, he dared to do anything, and he didn't see anything.

Xu Daoyan looked at the sweet potato field alone, there were still a lot of sweet potatoes, which could last for a while, and he looked at the forest.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and suddenly he felt a little hairy in his heart, after all, he was only a twelve-year-old boy, but he really wanted to see what the forbidden place in the back mountain was like, so he began to walk into the forest step by step, and the sky slowly darkened.

Xu Daoyan looked at the gradually darkening forest, and faintly, there seemed to be a gust of yin wind coming, which made him shiver involuntarily, and he felt a tingling feeling on his scalp.

At the moment when Xu Daoyan was about to walk into the forest, a hand suddenly came from behind him and put it on his shoulder, this beat directly scared him out of a cold sweat, the hairs on his body stood up, and his heart was cold.

The moment he turned his head, he saw that it was an old beggar during the day, grinning on his dark face, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth: "Meet again, kid ......"

In the gloomy woods.

Xu Daoyan saw the old man behind him, his hanging heart suddenly fell, he breathed a sigh of relief, and instructed the old beggar, saying: "It turned out to be you, don't go this way, it is said that the front is a battlefield cemetery left behind when there is a war, and there will be dead ghosts at night, if you go to that road, it will be dangerous." ”

"Then why do you have to go forward?" the old beggar smiled, looking disbelieving.

"Because I want to find food to feed my mother, now the family is very difficult, I can't eat sweet potatoes every meal, if there is a pheasant, a hare or something, hit a few to make up for my aunt. Xu Daoyan looked ahead, very focused, looking for prey, because he felt that his mother's body bones were a little weak.

"Hehe, let me ask you, do you want to see the outside world?" the old beggar looked at Xu Daoyan and asked seriously.

"I want to, but I can afford to raise myself and my mother first!" Xu Daoyan knew that this old beggar had traveled a lot of places and must have seen a lot, but he couldn't be a little beggar with him, right?

"Do you want to hear about the outside world, eat a sweet potato from you, and I'll tell you what I saw outside. The old beggar looked at Xu Daoyan, grinned, sat cross-legged on the ground, and pulled him to tell a story.

"Okay. After all, Xu Daoyan was still just a child, and he was full of curiosity about the outside world, and immediately, the old beggar patiently told Xu Daoyan the story.

It turned out that the mountain village where he lived belonged to the Kyushu Divine Dynasty, a village under the jurisdiction of Shilong City on the northern edge of Youzhou.

Each of the nine states had 3,600 cities, and each city had a general, and the one in charge of one city was the general.

A hundred cities and one prince, and he who is in charge of a hundred cities is a prince.

Six hundred and one princes, and he that is in charge of six hundred cities is a prince.

A state is a county king, and the one who governs a state is the county king.

Each city covers an area of at least 100,000 li, and the maximum is 360,000 li, that is to say, it is conservatively estimated that there will be at least 360 million li in one state, and the largest is 1,296 million li.

And people are divided into nine classes, at this moment Xu Daoyan is the ninth class of people, people are the most humble existence, and above the first class, there are people who are superior.

"Do you want to be a subordinate, or do you want to be a superior?" the old beggar asked Xu Daoyan very seriously.

"Of course it's a master!" Xu Daoyan felt mysterious and mysterious when he heard it, and when he was asked this question, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he answered very firmly.

"Do you know how people are graded?" asked the old beggar again.

"What?" "By strength. The old beggar began to explain.

The man was eight years old, with full kidneys, thick hair, and replacement teeth.

At the age of sixteen, the kidney qi is vigorous, the Tianqi is mature, the essence is sufficient, the yin and yang are combined, and children can be born.

At the age of twenty-four, the kidney qi is calm, the muscles and bones are strong, the wisdom teeth are growing, and the body stops growing taller.

Thirty-two years old, with strong muscles and muscles.

At the age of forty, his kidney qi declined, his hair began to fall out, and his teeth withered.

At the age of forty-eight, the upper part of the human body has failed the Yang Ming meridian qi, his face is haggard, and his sideburns are white.

At the age of fifty-six, the qi of the liver failed, the muscles and veins were also weakened, and the movement lacked flexibility.

At the age of sixty-four, the heavens are depleted, the essence is low, the kidneys are failing, and everything has begun to slowly reach its limit.

This is the ninth.

Xu Daoyan frowned, indeed, there are often people in the village who say that life is rare for seventy years, and if some people live to be seventy years old, it will be considered a joy and mourning.

"What is Tianqi?" Xu Daoyan was curious.

"It is the innate essence contained in the body of human birth. The old beggar laughed.

"What are the eighth-class people like?" Xu Daoyan asked again.

"Eighth class of people, it is equivalent to the false Taoist priest in your village, he can rely on his wealth, he can eat some things that replenish his essence and increase his lifespan, but it is not much better, with his current strength, he can live to be a little more than a hundred years old, it is already the limit. The old beggar grinned.

"Fake Taoist priest, our village is really haunted. Xu Daoyan frowned and said suspiciously.

"The ghost is real, but this Taoist priest is fake. The old beggar laughed.

"How do you know?" Xu Daoyan was puzzled, knowing that he was just an old beggar, how could he suddenly become like a master of Taoism.

"You don't have to ask, kneel down for me, kowtow three times, and I'll take you as an apprentice." The old beggar laughed.

"My aunt said that men have gold under their knees, and they can't easily kneel to others, if you say a few words casually, you want me to kneel down to worship you, it's just a dream!" As soon as he talked about this problem, Xu Daoyan was very repulsed, and he felt that kneeling to others was a particularly shameful thing.

"Well, that's fine? The old beggar was a little surprised by Xu Daoyan's performance, thought for a while, took out a wine gourd from his body, put it to Xu Daoyan's mouth, and said with a smile: "Come, take a sip." ”

"What is this?" Xu Daoyan frowned, looking at the old beggar with a slight hostility.

"It's wine, why don't you dare to drink it?" said the old beggar excitedly.

"Hmph, what's not to dare to drink? Isn't it wine? Although I haven't drunk it, I've heard it!" Xu Daoyan immediately snatched the wine gourd, and the moment he opened the gourd stopper, a smell of wine flowed out, just a light smell, he felt that his whole body was comfortable, and his strength increased a little.

Although Xu Daoyan was a ninth-class person who didn't know anything, he also knew that this was a good thing, so he immediately tilted his head and took a big sip.

Wow......

From Xu Daoyan's body, a stream of heat rushed to the limbs, and on the surface of his body, layers of black and thick things were forced out of the body, and the smell was incomparable, and the strength of the wine came out from the pores on his body, shaking the impurities in this layer of body into nothingness.

Xu Daoyan felt that he was full of energy, as if he could see farther, his eyes were very bright, and his whole body strength had increased a lot, he felt as if now he could easily pick up a cow and punch it out, and he could break a tree!

This is a leap growth, he looked at the skin on his body but it was very delicate and smooth, all the dead skin fell off, and now Xu Daoyan, even if he released a fart, it would be fragrant.

Xu Daoyan was shocked and looked at the old beggar: "What kind of wine is this?"

"Haha, this is the wine that the gods drink, the wine of the gods. The old beggar laughed, very proud: "Can you kneel down now?" Drink my sip of fairy wine, you will have no problem living to be one hundred and twenty years old now, and if you break through to one hundred years old, you will be considered an eighth-class person!"

"Don't kneel!" Xu Daoyan shook his head.

The old beggar's face was green, and this dead boy was not short of mouth at all.
