Wang Duozhan held the book, raised his head, looked at the sky, and swore solemnly, "One day, I will also go to every corner of the Tianshou Continent and be a great hero who stands up to the sky." ”

Zhou Qian, that is, Zhou Tianshen's father, was dealing with the red-haired pheasant, and after hearing the little boy's bold words, he poured cold water and said, "Your father will not agree to you going outside." ”

"Why?"

"Because it's dangerous outside. ”

The woman placed the bucket in the kitchen and took out a cauldron and an iron rack, which was made from scrap iron from the blacksmith's shop and could be used as a barbecue grill.

The cauldron was filled with firewood, and the flames rose to the ground, grilling the chicken until it was golden brown.

Zhou Qian tore off two chicken thighs and gave them to Zhou Tianshen and Wang Duozhan respectively.

Wang Duo took the chicken leg and took a bite hard, eating with a mouth full of oil.

A week ago, a bowl of chicken soup was served for two children, and there were a few pieces of green vegetables floating on the chicken soup.

After eating the chicken legs and drinking the chicken soup, Wang Duo wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, thanked Zhou Qian, and turned around to leave.

Zhou Tianshen was still holding the chicken leg that had not been eaten in his hand, and hurriedly called out to Wang Duozhan and asked, "I haven't finished eating yet, why do you have to go home in such a hurry?"

Wang Duozhan stood in place, turned his head and said, "My father said that everything must be touched by one more point, but only one more point, otherwise it will be disliked." ”

Zhou Qian sat on the chair he woven with bamboo strips and laughed, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, when you come to your uncle's house, you will treat it as your own home, you can eat as much as you want, don't be taboo about these." ”

Wang Duozhan held the green cloth bag in his arms, and said in a tone that could not be refused, "No, this is my principle." ”

After that, he walked out of the courtyard gate without looking back.

Zhou Tianshen looked at Wang Duozhan's back and muttered in a low voice, "You left the sugar cake behind." ”

The little boy who walked around the corner opened the cloth bag, took out a piece of orange sugar cake from it, and threw it into his mouth, with a snickering face.

After dinner, Zhou Tianshen held a wooden sword and waved it in the courtyard in an orderly manner according to the moves in the novel.

Zhou Qian was lying on a rocking chair, holding a pu fan in his hand, fanning slowly, driving away the surrounding mosquitoes from time to time.

Sun Tiancian stood at the doorway, chatting with a woman with a hoe in her hand.

Zhou Tianshen, who was sweating, put down the wooden sword, went back to the house to rinse it with cold water, changed into a refreshing clothes, moved a small bench, and sat next to Zhou Qian.

Zhou Tianshen said, "Dad, I'm going to go to Huangzhao Academy to study, and by the way, I'll take a look at the scenery of Tianshou Continent." I always read books about how the elves of Feiyu Prefecture soar in the sky, how fierce and invincible the cave beasts of Nanzhou and Kunzhou are, and how terrifying and terrifying the dead Yazhou is. But listen to it, I have never seen it, I think that since I was born as a human being, I can't live in one place all the time, only go out for a walk and experience a different life, it is worth the trip. ”

Zhou Qian closed his eyes, and after a long silence, asked, "When are you going to go?"

Zhou Tianshen replied without thinking, "Three years later, Huang Zhao Academy has a rule that they only recruit people over the age of fifteen and under the age of twenty-five. I plan to reach the Renkui realm before the age of thirteen, and then spend five years starting from Cunzhou, passing through Xiancaizhou, Heziyang, and Fucaoyang, to Zhongzhou, at that time, my realm should still climb upward, enough to pass the admission assessment of Huang Zhao Academy. ”

Zhou Qian listened to Zhou Tianshen's plan, his fingers pinched his eyebrows, his brows furrowed, "Three years to reach the Renkui realm? You must know that you have not been exposed to anything related to cultivation now, from an ordinary person to a cultivator, the transformation between the two is the most laborious, not to mention that it takes three years to reach the Renkui realm, and the hardships required to do so are not something you can imagine." Although there is no precedent on the mainland, it is only for a very small number of people among the famous factions of the Gao clan, where do you get the confidence that you can reach the realm of Renkui within three years? Not to mention whether you can do it, just like our small village, we can produce Lu Anshi and Meng Ruhan, two genius teenagers, at the same time. ”

Zhou Tianshen ignored the cold water in front of Zhou, raised his head, and said stubbornly, "Lu Anshi can reach the Renkui realm within four years, why can't I?"

Zhou Qian had already closed his eyes, turned over, turned his back to Zhou Tianshen, and said angrily, "Whatever you want, as long as your mother agrees with you to go out, I have no opinion." ”

Zhou Tianshen pouted, made a childish grimace at Zhou Qian's back, got up and returned to the house.

After Zhou Tianshen left, Sun Tianchan also ended chatting.

She locked the wooden door, sat in Zhou Qian's arms, and asked softly, "What did you and Tianshen just say?"

Zhou Qian sat up, put his arms around Sun Tianciao, looked at the willow branches in the yard, and said, "He wants to go out and see the world, I don't agree." ”

Sun Tiancian wrapped his hands around Zhou Qian's neck and pressed his face to his chest, "Didn't you support him to go out before, why did you change your mind at this time." ”

Zhou Qian sighed deeply, his tone was slightly worried, "Senior Kou came to me a few days ago and told me about some things outside the village, as well as the changes in power in the mainland. Recently, there have been some changes in the pattern outside the village, the original mountain land occupied by the eight rooms and the twenty-three caves, there have been new changes, and last year four new rooms were added, and the strength of the four homeowners is very unusual, not at all comparable to other homeowners. This was what Tie Liu had seen with his own eyes, and Senior Kou suspected that it was the group of people who had discovered our traces and wanted to come and snatch the treasure again. Moreover, the treasure gate of Xiancai Prefecture has discovered a secret realm, which has attracted the greed of many people, and there may be some chaos. ”

Sun Tiancian raised his head, looked at Zhou Qian's side face, and said in disbelief, "If this is true, then we have no reason to trap him here, he must leave here, this is what you promised me before." Even if it is at the cost of our lives, we must send him out safely. ”

Zhou Qian hugged Sun Tianchan's shoulders hard, rubbed her long hair with his face, and said softly, "This is just our speculation, we haven't decided yet, I hope we think too much." If we really die, whether he will avenge us, and whether he can avenge us, these things need to be carefully considered. ”

"It's getting late, let's go to bed. ”

The next day, it was slightly bright.

Zhou Tianshen walked out of the door with a small bamboo basket on his back.

Sun Tiancian shouted behind him, "Come back early at noon, don't forget the time." ”

"Got it. ”

At this hour, the villagers in the village had not yet gotten up, Zhou Tianshen walked on the empty street, breathed a breath of refreshing air, and the whole person became relaxed and happy.

There is an old locust tree in the center of the village, and every summer, the village will float out a smell of locust flowers, inhaling it into the body, making people feel light.

There is a crossroads in the center of Laohuai Village, where the towering old locust tree is rooted.

Bounded by the intersection of the village center, the village is divided into five parts, which are northwest, southwest, northeast, southeast, and the village center.

The entrance to the village is to the north, and a half-man-high fence encloses the entire village, leaving a path.

There is no inn, the Sanyang Medical Hall is in the northwest, the Ma family's grocery store and the forest shop are in the northeast, the martial arts hall, the blacksmith shop, and Zhou Tianshen's house are all in the southwest, the abacus house and the carpenter shop are in the southeast, and the residents of the village live in all corners of the village scattered.

There is a field of crops outside the village, and there are no shops in the village, all of them are croppers.

When he walked under the locust tree, Zhou Tianshen saw a big black-haired dog standing in the shade of the tree, standing straight on four legs, and behind it, there was an old man with a long beard sitting on the ground.

The old man leaned against the trunk of the locust tree, holding a black wooden cane in one hand and a book in the other, which was the "Tianshou Diary" compiled by Ju Baishui, which was sold in a forest shop.

Zhou Tianshen walked up to the old man, patted the old man's shoulder gently, and asked, "Grandpa Kou, why are you asleep here?"

The old man Mu Ran opened his eyes, looked around, didn't see a figure, shook his head, and said vaguely, "I got up early in the morning today, and I was still a little sleepy, so I fell asleep here." ”

Zhou Tianshen put away the books for the old man and helped the old man to stand up, "There is no class in the private school today, why are you getting up so early?"

With the support of Zhou Tianshen, the old man walked out of the shade of the tree, felt the sunshine, and stretched a frightening lazy waist, "I heard that Xiao Anshi came back in the past few days, and I haven't missed him for a year, so I accompanied Blackfoot here to wait for him." Oops, my waist. ”

Zhou Tianshen rubbed the old man's waist, hugged him, and put him on the back of the black-footed, that is, the big black-haired dog.

The old man rubbed his head and said with a smile, "It's really embarrassing for me as an old fellow, at such an old age, he still has to carry me from trip to street, and I don't see any complaints from him." ”

"You have made a good friend. ”

"Good, good. ”

The old man opened his eyes, glanced at the bamboo basket Zhou Tianshen was carrying, and asked, "Are you going to enter the mountain again today?"

Zhou Tianshen replied, "Anyway, there is nothing to do at home, so I want to go to the mountains to have a look." You might just run into something good. ”

The old man stroked his beard and looked ahead, "It's not very peaceful in the mountains recently, you shouldn't run too far, if you are taken away by the cave beast, you will be in trouble." ”

"Got it, then I'll go first. ”

The old man nodded slightly, looked at Zhou Tianshen's departing back, and then raised his head, the sunlight was not very dazzling.

The old man patted the big dog on the head, and the big dog let out a whimper.

The old man scolded with a smile, "Didn't you just feed you a chicken bone, as for keeping it in my heart like this, Xiao Tianshen used to bring you food every day, and I didn't see you look at him with your eyes, let's go." ”

The big black-haired dog reluctantly turned away.

The old man carried the black wooden cane horizontally, put it on his lap, and kept nagging, "I know that you have the deepest relationship with him, deeper than the relationship between the two of us, but he is going to go out after all, and we can't tie him to him for the rest of our lives." Besides, you don't know Xiao Anshi's strength, although it is not enough to enter Huang Zhao Academy, but it is also a genius boy that the six major factions have to compete for, and no one dares to bully him. Besides, isn't he still with you? Don't worry, nothing will happen, at most you will suffer more, but it is better to suffer now than to suffer later, you say, is this the reason..."

"Why are you not close to Xiao Tianshen, or don't you dare? Your previous achievements are so high that you may look down on the children in these villages, but don't forget, you are just a lost dog now, anyone who comes can kill you, and you don't dare to say anything else, right here, if you dare to do it, it won't agree." Xiao Tianshen's life experience is indeed worth figuring out, but it's been so long, and no one is willing to mention it for a long time, even if those people do it deliberately, it's been seven years, and it's time to close the net. ”

The old man muttered as he patted the big dog's head.

The big dog carried the old man straight, and his limbs were never bent in the slightest.

Zhou Tianshen, who said goodbye to the old man, carried a bamboo basket on his back, and saw Wang Duozhan also carrying a small bamboo basket from a distance, standing at the door of the shop in the forest, stretching his neck to look inside.

The owner of the shop in the forest was not surnamed Lin, but surnamed Tie, named Tieliu.

Just because when I opened the store, I picked up a strange piece of wood in the mountains and forests, and the whole body of the wood glowed pale green, and there were two colorful butterflies floating on it.

Tieliu picked up the wood and handed it to Kou Huai, the most respected person in the village, for identification, and only after coming to a conclusion did he learn that this was a tree spirit that was about to cultivate into a human form, and the two colorful butterflies were attracted by the spiritual power fluctuations emitted by the tree spirit when he cultivated. Therefore, once the tree spirit cultivates into a human form, those two butterflies will also compete for a great opportunity that is not inferior to the tree spirit because of the protection work, which is far more cost-effective than concentrating on cultivation.

At that time, Kou Huai patted Tie Liu on the shoulder and solemnly told him that although this tree spirit had just attained the Dao and had a lot of shortcomings in strength, as long as it could concentrate on cultivation, it would definitely be able to reach the Tiankan realm or a higher realm, so he warned Tie Liu to cherish this opportunity and not miss the opportunity because of his carelessness.

Since then, Tieliu has gone to the forest to visit the tree spirit every now and then, hoping to have a good relationship with it and win an opportunity for his little daughter's future path of cultivation.

Zhou Tianshen quietly walked behind Wang Duozhan and slapped him on the buttocks, causing the little boy to jump forward in fright, and his head just hit the threshold of the shop in the forest.

The little boy sat on the ground, touched the red and swollen part of his forehead, the pain was hot, and he cried out with a 'wow'.
