Chapter 135: Qu Kai I
Han Yuan Dao Chang calmed down and said in a low voice: "Since the year I was seven years old and sensible, I secretly swore that I must get ahead when I grow up, and I must not live this kind of poor and hard life again." I'm fed up with other people's cold words, I'm fed up with other people's fingers, I must surpass them, so that those who once underestimated me are trampled under my feet.
When I was four years old, I was taken to Yangzhou by a long-bearded Taoist man, saying that there was a relative of mine there, and asked me to defect to this relative, study hard in Yangzhou, and be a clean and self-righteous literati.
I was ecstatic, and from the day I went to Yangzhou, I secretly made up my mind that I must be the top student in high school and return to my hometown. I get up five watches a day, sleep in the middle of the night, others sleep and eat, I am reading and writing, others are playing in the mountains and rivers, I am reading and writing, I know that if you want to get ahead and be superior to others, you have to pay much more effort than others.
By the time I was a teenager, I was already familiar with poetry and books, and I was not my opponent even with ordinary private school teachers. After a long time, my reputation as a talented man has spread, and I don't know about it.
At the time of the township examination, I was the first in high school with the first grade in the township examination, so the whole Yangzhou city knew my name, everyone felt that the next year will be examined, I will definitely be the first place, I myself feel that even if I can't get the champion, a top three in high school, that is also a matter of course.
However, I never thought that when I would try, I felt that I was playing normally, and when I posted the list, I searched all over the list, but I didn't see myself, and I knew that I was named Sun Shan, and there was no name on the list.
Not only me, but even my friends in the neighborhood at the time thought it was incredible. Although I couldn't believe it, I quickly recovered and wanted to continue to study hard and fight again for the next year. Unexpectedly, within a few months, someone spread that the examiners worked together to cheat in the examination that year, and the people on the list were all the children of some official eunuchs, and their names were bought with money. Some people also say that they will try to be like this every year, and they don't want to be on the list if they don't have the money.
After listening to it, I was just angry at first, I only felt that the officialdom was dark, and I slowly calmed down, and suddenly, a strong feeling of uncontrollable and frustration came to my heart.
In fact, at this time, I already knew that the home I lived in was not a relative's house, but the long-bearded Taoist who sent me to Yangzhou to spend money to let me stay, and deliberately concealed it from me.
The officialdom is dark, and I can't bear it anymore. A person is disheartened and only thinks about getting tired of the world and leaving this red dust world full of profit.
After leaving Yangzhou City, I was aimless, and I didn't know where to go, only to leave the world. Just like that, walking, walking, walking for a few days and nights, I don't know where I went, I just feel tired and thirsty, and I can't walk anymore, but I have made up my mind in my heart, even if I am tired and die in the mountains and forests, I don't want to return to this world of profit.
At night, I could no longer walk, and fell into a bush, trying to chew some grass leaves to quench my thirst, when I looked up, I suddenly found that all around me was a green light, which was very scary.
I was startled, scared to move, and I didn't know what it was. After a while, the moon came out, and by the light of the moon, I saw that there was a group of wild wolves around me, dozens of them, and those flashes of green light were their eyes.
The wolves stared at them tightly, approaching step by step. I was so frightened that my legs went limp, and I couldn't stand up at all. I can only crawl and run step by step.
The wolves were getting closer and closer to me, and I could even smell the foul smell in their mouths. I didn't have the strength to climb anymore, so I fell to the ground with my head down, and sighed, not expecting that I would die in the belly of a wolf.
Seeing that the wolf closest to me had opened its mouth, Bai Sensen's fangs were exposed, and its long blood-red tongue was coming towards me, and I couldn't dodge, so I could only close my eyes and wait for death.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a 'rush' next to me, and a gust of wind sounded in my ears. The wolf closest to me snorted, and fell straight to the ground, motionless. I didn't hear it right, so I hurriedly opened my eyes, only to see a vast white sword qi, a white light flashed a few times around me, and more than a dozen vicious wild wolves were all lying on the ground with their stomachs open.
I was shocked and frightened, I didn't know what more powerful demons and monsters had come, and they were much more powerful than a dozen hungry wolves. But after thinking about it again, I am a death anyway, and it is much better to die under the long sword than to die in the belly of a wolf.
I didn't speak, I looked at it in a daze. A flower in front of me, suddenly there is a long beard old road, I looked at it, and immediately became happy, it turned out that this old way was not someone else, but the Taoist who sent me to Yangzhou City. Moreover, I already knew at that time that it was the silver taels he gave me to live in Yangzhou City.
I suddenly regained my strength, sat up at once, and asked aloud, who the hell is he and why is he following me?
But the old man didn't answer my question, looked me up and down several times, and then said, 'Do you have a wife and children?'
I was stunned, I didn't know what he meant, and said loudly, 'I was just a weak crown year, and I couldn't be famous, where did I come from, my wife and children. ’
He nodded, and then asked, 'If you don't have a wife and children, do you have relatives and friends?'
I saw that he was rude in questioning, and said loudly, 'I am alone, and I have no relatives or friends. ’
He shook his head and asked, 'If you don't have relatives or friends, do you have parents?'
When I heard this, I couldn't help but get angry and said loudly, 'Who is born without parents in the world.' ’
He also said, 'Since you have parents, then you don't say goodbye, you are disgusted with the world, and you are worthy of your parents?'
Although he asked extremely rudely, I was ashamed of myself, and I couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
He saw that I was speechless, and said loudly, "I didn't repay the kindness of my parents, and I only thought about the misanthropy of the world, which is unfilial piety." It is unrighteous to leave one's relatives and friends without regard for them, leaving them to worry and be afraid. What is the use of an unfilial and unrighteous man like you?'
When I heard this, I was even more ashamed, and I sat on the ground without saying a word.
He stood beside me, and after a while, he suddenly said, 'The world is hot and cold, have you really seen through the red dust and are tired of this world of profit?'
I nodded and didn't speak.
He asked, 'And what are you going to do?'"
I pondered for a moment and shook my head, I really didn't know where I was going now.
The long-bearded elder said loudly, 'In that case, I can take you to a place where you are far away from the world, where there is no fame or fortune, no eating the fireworks of the world, just painstaking cultivation, are you willing?'
I was overjoyed, and these were the things I wanted the most. I exclaimed, 'Well, I'd like to go with you, I've got my wish for life in such a good place!'
The long-bearded Taoist nodded and said, "However, although there is no worldly fame and fortune there, you still need to concentrate on cultivation to stay there, are you willing?"
I said loudly, 'I want to stay away from the red dust and devote myself to cultivation in this life, and what you say is exactly what I think in my heart, and I am 12% willing. ’
The long-bearded Taoist nodded, set up his sword light, and took me to Wudang Mountain. I became his last disciple, Han Yuan. ”
"Sure enough, it's Zhengyuan, the bull-nosed old man!" Hearing this, Yuan Gang said hatefully: "Zhengyuan, this old boy, turned out to be his illegitimate son to Wudang Mountain. ”
Ye Boyu was getting more and more surprised in his heart, and he only felt that now the Shuiyue Daoist and Hanyuan Daoist had been talking for a long time, but in the end, they all had something to do with the Zhengyuan Daoist, and felt that the Zhengyuan Daoist was the big devil behind the scenes, but the Zhengyuan Daoist was just committing all kinds of rules and precepts, and until now, he has not said what collusion he has with the Demon Realm. It seems that there must be a lot of news about this matter.
Thinking of this, Ye Boyu couldn't help but secretly glanced at Tianhong Zhenren next to him, only to see Tianhong Zhenren's face calm, sitting there quietly, unable to see anything.
Daoist Shuiyue also sat quietly on the side, without interjecting a word, listening to the words of Yuan Gang Lao Dao, he didn't say anything, just quietly waited for Yuan Dao Han to continue.
Han Yuan Dao Chang continued: "After I went to Wudang Mountain, I knew that this long-bearded old Dao was actually the current head of Wudang Mountain, Zhengyuan Dao Chief, and I couldn't help but be in awe, I just wanted to follow him to practice well, and I didn't want to ask anyone about anything in the world."
After practicing for a few years, I have achieved a little success, and I slowly forgot my bitter past. Once, I followed my brothers down the mountain. There is a rule in the Wudang faction, that is, Wudang disciples should go down the mountain once every few years, at least a month, at most half a year, just to subdue demons and catch monsters.
I followed a few senior brothers down the mountain, they hunted monsters and showed their skills, I followed them, and I also learned a lot of things. On this day, we went all the way to the outside of Xiangyang City. I remembered that my home was in Xiangyang City, and I still had my own mother at home. I couldn't help but be moved, and told my brothers that I was going to visit friends in Xiangyang City and would come back in a short time.
They were not surprised, taking advantage of the opportunity to go down the mountain, it was common to go home to visit, and they told me a few words to go back to them as soon as possible, and let me go.
I went all the way into Xiangyang City and found the small alley where I lived when I was a child. When I asked my mother's name, she was dumbfounded. I had no choice but to inquire door to door, who knows, everyone said that after I went to Yangzhou City, my stepfather died of illness within a few years, and my mother moved out of this alley a few years ago, and no one knows where she went. ”
