Volume 1 - The Beginning of Mind Cultivation Chapter 1 Chen Wa Lost in the Old Alley

On the cloud boat, Bu Fanchen had a faint reluctance on his face, he was going to the mainland, he heard that it was a strange world, he was a little expectant, and a little worried.

From his father, he learned that his hometown Nanguo is located in the extreme south of Nan Yuanzhou, where there are many geniuses and handsome people, and people's hearts are extremely complex, it is not difficult to survive, but it is not easy to live. He was not afraid of the dangers ahead, nor was he too excited.

Seeing his father's majestic figure standing on the deck, looking thoughtfully into the distance, a trace of hesitation flashed in Bu Fanchen's eyes, and finally shook his head, but he still walked over and stood side by side with his father.

In the past month, he is extremely untalkative, even if the other party is his father, but he is unwilling, you must know that once some emotions are mentioned, they will burst the embankment, and he is only a nine-year-old boy, although according to the time division of the dream called the earth, the extreme north star has thirty-six hours of day and night, according to this conversion, he is fourteen years old, but he can't control his emotions freely. In his heart, because he has always wanted to be a sensible and strong person, he doesn't want to show too much fear and worry in front of Bu Youkong.

"I'm about to go out of the Forbidden Sea, come and see this hometown where I grew up, and leave some thoughts, and it's good to feel comfortable. Bu Youkong turned his head and glanced at Bu Fanchen, and said lightly.

Bu Fanchen smiled slightly, gathered his thoughts, avoided his father's topic, and then stared at the wide sea in front of him, and replied: "Father, every daylight comes from the front window, does it mean that we are heading east." ”

"That's right, because our hometown is in the East, and its name is Nanguo, and there are many of your elders and brothers and sisters. Bu Youkong thought of his hometown that had been away for decades, the southern country in the extreme south of the Eastern Continent, and a wisp of remembrance rose from his eyebrows, and he said softly.

Bu Fanchen confirmed the conjecture in his heart, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but be a little sour, he couldn't hold back his sad emotions, and said slowly: "Mother, she is going to the West, right, I heard Uncle Ye say that Mother is from the Western race, and you sent her home, so Mother She is now living in the West? Speaking of this, Bu Fanchen paused for a moment before he said slowly: "I don't know how my mother is now, if she can't see me, her mother must miss me very much." “

Bu Youkong heard Bu Fanchen mention Anna, knowing that the child was a little sour in his heart, staring into the distance with heavy eyes, not wanting to pass on the sourness in his heart to Bu Fanchen, and then said sonorously: "Mother has her own things to complete, she must miss you very much, she also wants to grow up with you, but there are some things that have to be done, don't think too much." Just remember to try to be strong and wait until one day when you are strong enough to visit your mother. “

"Father, I never felt that I didn't love me if I didn't accompany me, on the contrary, I knew that my mother was for my good, and of course I would definitely work hard, and one day I would go and take my mother back to the south. Bu Fanchen said with a resolute expression.

Bu Youkong couldn't help but smile, patted Bu Fanchen's head with his thick palm, and said with a smile: "Haha, you kid, that's my daughter-in-law, my father will naturally pick it up by himself, so you don't have to worry." Your road is still far away, you have to take your time to know, climbing with your contemporaries, speed is important, but the footprints of each step must be deep and shallow, otherwise you will go up indiscriminately, and it is very likely that you will walk into a dead end halfway, and eventually you will not move forward. “

Bu Fanchen's dream experience has been integrated into his mind, and that person's life experience is extremely rich, he naturally knows how to live in the world, but in his father's eyes, he is still a nine-year-old child who has never seen people's calculations and human feelings.

The corners of his mouth raised a calm arc, and Bu Fanchen's eyes were blazing and he replied: "Fanchen obeys his father's teachings, and he should learn more, listen more, and do more." “

In his heart, he was thinking that the royal family in the book was full of comparisons of people's heights, and everyone had a reason to be involuntarily, but he didn't know what he would encounter, and he was a little afraid at the same time, but also faintly looked forward to it.

As if thinking of something, Bu Fanchen asked, "Father, it has been more than three months since we set off, does that mean that we are already far away from the island." "Well, it's true that we've been off the island for more than three months, and we've flown 1.6 million miles. ”

Noticing Bu Fanchen's expression, Bu Youkong looked at Bu Fanchen with a little playfulness, and quipped: "What, do we Fanchen think of the island, or who do we think of?"

Bu Youkong guessed the central thought, Bu Fanchen's face rose a touch of red, smiled, twisted his head aside, clenched his hand into a fist, and hurriedly said: "No, I just looked at the sea for so long, and I didn't meet the land in my heart, so I asked, it is impossible to think about red rain at all." “

Bu Youkong didn't dismantle the son whose name he said, and pretended to be serious: "Oh, I see, it's almost fast, and you will be on land in a few hours." ”

Bu Fanchen was at war with his own heaven and man in his heart, thinking: Let you ask, ask a fart, oh, there are still a few hours to go to land, and now completely leave the sea area, isn't this farther away from the red rain!

However, thinking that he and his father had been walking on the cloud boat for so long, a little loss flashed in Bu Fanchen's eyes, such a long distance, and he didn't know how long it would take him to find him after the red rain, and he didn't know if there was a cloud boat on Uncle Ye's island that was as fast as his feet.

If not, she would be very tired from flying.

When Bu Fanchen felt nostalgic, Bu Youkong pinched a magic decision in his empty hand, and the huge white sails on both sides of the Yunzhou battleship they were riding on slowly stood up and moved closer to the middle. I saw that the cloud boat in the sea of clouds gradually sank to the sea below, but in a moment, the cloud boat floated on the sea, and when the white sails on both sides also stood high, the cloud boat became the sail of the sea.

Because Bu Fanchen has never been in contact with the human world in the real sense, Bu Youkong plans to return to the south from the Luodong City, which is closest to the edge of the forbidden sea, so that he can take Bu Fanchen to know the human world and initially feel the customs and customs, and secondly, he will not swagger and cross the border.

Near the coast, there is a huge ferry, and since the cloud boat has been lowered into the sea, Bu Youkong plans to go ashore from the ferry according to the worldly merchant ship. Both sides of the ferry are filled with all kinds of boats, a few of which are inscribed with strange patterns, and most of them are just ordinary cargo boats.

As Bu Youkong sailed into the ferry, a dark-skinned child, who looked about the size of Bu Fanchen, was holding a small wooden boat and approaching them with swift movements. The man held a black wooden basin full of large lobsters, and the child shouted at them from afar.

Bu Fanchen couldn't understand what he was saying, but he roughly guessed that this was the dialect of the city, of course, his hopeful eyes, coupled with the lobster raised high, Bu Fanchen understood that he wanted to sell lobsters to himself.

For the shouting of the swarthy child, Bu Youkong has long been accustomed to seeing it, no matter how affectionate, he is also a strong man who has stepped into the realm of respect, many small things in the world to his cultivation, there is no mood to care, after all, every strong person's Dao heart is so strong, if those great monks, every little thing has to be managed, then this world will really be a mess.

Seeing that the adults on the boat ignore themselves, the child still did not give up, he has been begging for a few years at the ferry, he saw this luxurious ship from afar, although there are many rich people at the ferry, but many are ordinary people, because those immortals who can fly away from the sky, almost very few take the sea boat, even if there is, they will not take the crowded ferry, most of them are close to the ferry, and they will gallop away, leaving no trace, so when he sees the dark sky, he knows that the time has come, and the big deal is close at hand.

Most of the rich people are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they don't buy a lot of their own things, so the target of the children is some non-locals. For example, the ship in front of him, at a glance, he knew that it was a fairy ship, and the people living on it must be immortal masters, as long as he could sell a little to them, maybe they would be happy and reward themselves with a little gold, which would be worth their expenses for a year.

Thinking of this, the swarthy young man shouted more and more sincerely, lifted the basin above his head, and humbly bent down the thin waist.

Bu Fanchen turned his eyes to look at his father, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, hoping that his father could give him a little money, after all, he had never used the currency in this world, of course, it was said in the book, but it was still very different from the actual operation.

Bu Youkong felt the inquiry of his son's gaze, and immediately understood, searched for a long time in the ring, found six three-grade yuan stones with a faint vitality, and said to Bu Fanchen at the same time: "For money, the conversion of yuan stones, you must be familiar with it, but the way to buy and sell, it is not as simple as just giving money, there is also a high level of bargaining in the middle, you don't have to master it at once, you can learn it slowly." ”

Holding those six yuan stones, Bu Fanchen couldn't help but feel a little excited, just like a child who got permission from an adult for the first time and took the money to buy something, even if it wasn't to buy a favorite toy, but it was also somewhat accomplished.

Passing a happy expression to his father, he turned his head, ran to the railing, and said in the common language of the Extreme North Star East Continent, which was not particularly familiar: "Hello, I want to buy your seafood, I don't know what the price is." After speaking, he looked at the swarthy boy who was bent over with a kind face.

The boy heard a childish voice replying to himself, and hurriedly raised his head, and saw that it was a child about the same height as himself, lying on the railing and talking to himself, listening to the other party's accent, not like a local, and the language used was also more jerky, but there was no doubt that the other party wanted to buy his own lobster. Thinking of this child's heart, he was overjoyed, and then said with surprise in his eyes, three taels of silver, afraid that the other party would not understand, so he held the wooden basin with one hand and gestured vigorously with the other hand.

Bu Fanchen didn't understand what the other party said, because of the dialect used, but when he saw that the other party drew a three, he roughly guessed what the other party meant.

This price is also a concession Fan Chen was a little stunned, thinking that this bit of seafood, at most two three-grade yuan stones, you are a bit of a big bully compared to three. Could it be that you are bullying me Xiaobu Ye who doesn't know the market, how can it be reasonable, see that I don't cut your price hard. Bu Fanchen stared at that look, just shook his head slightly, and pretended to turn around to leave.

Sure enough, the swarthy young man saw Jin mainly leaving, he was a little anxious, and he held Bu Fanchen in his eyes, which meant that he could bargain, Bu Fanchen was secretly proud in his heart, he was a genius in buying things.

For the swarthy boy, the total price of his seafood is about 400 copper coins, but the unspoken rule of this big ferry port is that the lowest price should be eight times higher, that is, about three taels. You must know that compared with other people's bidding of thirty taels, your own three taels are not too dark.

Just when the swarthy young man ruthlessly changed his gesture to one and was about to compare again, Bu Fanchen preemptively compared two fingers and shook it above the swarthy young man, his expression was extremely serious, as if to say, it's just two, no more than one point, it's a big deal to buy and sell yellow, the master's temper can't get used to you.

The swarthy young man, who was going to make less money, saw that the rich boy gestured two fingers and reaped the unexpected joy, the swarthy boy thought to himself, this boy is a good person.

Although the young man was happy in his heart, his face was still the same, take it, take it, I don't make money to sell it to you. At the same time, the young man was also thinking about his mother's medicine money, and these two taels were not enough.

Along the stairs along the edge of the boat, he leaned over and picked up the wooden basin in the hand of the swarthy young man, and by the way, handed over the two third-grade yuan stones that had just been packed in a small black bag by himself to the young man, and Bu Fanchen turned around and prepared to dock with his father to board the boat.

The young man took the small bag, felt the weight coming from it, and was a little puzzled, he remembered that two taels of silver were not so heavy, and this bag was about four taels, could it be that the boy brother, gave two taels more?

Good guy, rich people are different, they are generous, just with this hand, in the young man's heart, he added a jade tree Linfeng to the boy's brother, as for the situation that the bag is not money, but stones, basically don't think about it, in the words of their retail shrimp sellers, except for a few perverts, those gods will not dirty their hearts to make fun of them.

Thinking of having a full four taels of silver, the young man was very pleased, no, in addition to the medicine money tonight, he can also buy a greasy scallion pancake for his sister to eat.

The young man took out the contents of the bag while thinking, thinking that there was no heavy silver in sight, only two milky white stones, the young man was struck by lightning for the first time, he felt cheated, and suddenly felt a little panicked, so he wanted to find the rich boy who had no conscience to theorize. But at the same time, I don't dare, after all, many of the sons and brothers who have unique interests don't take human life seriously, especially cheap lives like them.

So he had to burn in place, and the more he thought about it, the more angry the boy became, he had to throw the stone away and deflat, and secretly said that he was unlucky.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the story of a local rich man who made a fortune, and then a touch of shock and incredible thoughts came to his mind, and he looked at the rich boy's luxury ship again, and the young man who was originally uncertain became more and more determined in his inner guess.

Thinking of this, he finally mustered up the courage to catch up, ready to return it to the boy, for the boy, although I am somewhat black-hearted, and the price is eight times higher, but it does not mean that I have no conscience, that little lobster, I definitely dare not take two of these stones, so at least one must be returned, you have money is your business, I will take one is enough, hehe. Of course, conscience and greed do not conflict, not to mention that this is indeed the income he made from selling shrimp.

However, in the time when the young man hesitated, Bu Fanchen had already stepped on the solid land, and Bu Youkong had just put away the battleship.

Just when the swarthy boy looked up and wanted to catch up, he happened to see the boat that the rich boy was riding on, turning into a streamer, as if it was gone. This scene caused a lot of commotion at the ferry, and they hadn't seen the fairy boat before, but there were very few such magical fairy boat ferries.

When the swarthy boy saw this scene, he hurriedly threw the two stones into the crotch of his trousers, where there was a very secret inner purse, which was a good place for him to hide his money, and then he hurried to the boat to the nearest fairy pawn shop to the ferry, and when the boy left, several fierce figures followed.

The reason why he didn't return the stone to Bu Fanchen was because Chen Wa knew that the master of that kind of immortal ship was definitely not bad for money, and he had a weird personality, so he didn't dare to bother.

Bu Youkong originally thought that Bu Fanchen would be pitted with three or four yuan stones, as long as Bu Fanchen handed it out, as a deal, no matter whether he lost or earned, Bu Youkong would not say half a point. Of course, Bu Fanchen gave it, and whether the young man could catch it or not depended on his own blessings.

For Bu Youkong, there are only a few third-grade Yuan Stones, if it weren't for the fact that there were still a few third-grade Yuan Stones left in his storage ring, otherwise he would take two second-grade Yuan Stones and let Fan Chen practice his hands. In the end, seeing that Bu Fanchen would bargain, he only used two, he was still relatively happy, as a royal prince, he seemed to be known for being rich. If you don't know how to hide your thoughts, you can't communicate with others, and you can't get along with others on an equal footing, then it's a little bad, but fortunately, this kid performed very well for the first time.

Bu Fanchen didn't know that the young man's seafood was not worth two third-grade yuan stones at all? He had bought something, but he knew that one tael of silver could be exchanged for a thousand copper coins, one tael of gold was worth ten taels of silver, and a three-grade yuan stone was enough to be exchanged for one hundred taels of gold, a second-grade could be exchanged for ten third-grade stones, and one was exchanged for ten second-grade stones. And it has always been a big change for a small one, and a small one for a small one.

The young man's pot of seafood could not last more than half a tael of silver, but the sparkling look in the young man's eyes was similar to the Bu Fanchen in the dream who would be self-reliant early and live under the eaves of others.

In the dream, his winter and summer vacations are too similar to the young man, and he fantasizes almost every day that he can be rich, so as to repay his uncles and fellow villagers who treat him as his own.

So when he saw the young man, he was willing to give him a chance, which could be regarded as filling a regret, of course, he didn't know the truth of blessing and misfortune in his dreams, but he just thought that giving was the greatest good deed, but he didn't know that for the young man, giving is not necessarily a good thing, just like Bu Youkong thought, the young man may not be able to catch the two yuan stones.

The swarthy boy's name is Chen Wa, which means that like those old rubble, it will still shield the house from a touch of wind and rain until it is broken. After going ashore, the boy did not drag in the slightest, and with all his strength, he tried to run towards the pawnshop called Junrong, for he knew that the pawnshop was very famous and had an excellent reputation.

Of course, Chen Wa also heard that he had never been in, after all, their family was an ordinary person for generations, and there was nothing to go to the immortal pawnshop to pawn, and the pawnshop looked so atmospheric, he estimated that people who did not have a hundred taels of gold would be embarrassed to step on the threshold of fragrant wood.

Kicking these two treasures worth a thousand gold in the purse of the crotch, Chen Wa did not have a trace of joy on his face, but a solemn face, because he did not turn into real gold and stored in the pawn shop, his heart was hanging, and whether this stone was the legendary Yuan Stone, no big man was sure, he was never at ease. Because of this, after getting Yuanshi, he didn't rush home to tell his mother and sister the news of the explosion, but went straight to the pawn shop.

When he ran into an alley, his heart rose to his throat, and he would stare at every dim place in the alley, for fear that as usual, those street tyrants would always stop him on his way to buy medicine, and then ask for money, if not, he would inevitably be beaten.

Therefore, every dim and unsightly place in the alley now crawled on his back like a demon, and he was terrified. One, two, three, finally, there was a touch of light in front of him, and Chen Wa's hanging heart was also like winning a touch of light, as long as he ran a few more steps, he could pass through the alley, and it would not be far from the Junrong pawnshop, of course, he could also choose to take a detour to the pawnshop. It's just that it will be a few hours away, he doesn't want to make a fuss, he doesn't believe that his luck is so bad, he wants to gamble. But when he was less than two meters away from the mouth of the alley, a big hand stretched out from a branch of the alley, gently grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and threw him towards the wall of the branch.

was attacked, Chen Wa didn't know where the courage came from, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and climbed up with difficulty. I saw three people in front of me, but they were not the group of gangsters of the same age who used to rob here, but several adult men of more than one meter and eight meters, and they all exuded a fierce aura on their bodies. Thinking that they were asking for their own silver coins, Chen Wa hurriedly picked out the hundreds of copper coins in his arms, endured the pain, crawled towards the big man, and gave the silver money to the big man headed by him. It's a pity that the big man at the head ignored him, and the big man behind him kicked him in the back again.

Chen Wa was kicked and flew up and lay down in the middle of the alley, when he saw a few people wearing pawn shop clothes outside the alley, and was about to call for help, but he was punched on the head by the big man in the lead, and he fell into a coma. It wasn't until he closed his eyes that he remembered that the three big men were the sailors of the ferry, and when Bu Fanchen gave him the Yuan Stone, the three big men happened to return to the ferry from overseas and saw that Yimu.

At that time, the three of them just guessed that Chen Wa had received something good, such as silver ingots or broken gold, and they didn't pay much attention to it at that time, but later when Chen Wa was in a daze with the yuan stone, the three big men looked at him not far away and recognized the thing, and their minds also made a decision at that time. It's just that they didn't go far at that time, and the big man didn't dare to make a move, so he followed all the way.

Before Chen Wa fell into a coma, he neither blamed the ruthlessness of the big man, nor did he resent the boy brother for giving him such a valuable thing, he didn't say anything in advance, he was just a little sad, he didn't know what to do with his mother and sister in the future, he just blamed himself for betting wrong, he shouldn't have taken this road, but he didn't know that from the Yuan Stone that Dahan saw him, whether he gambled or not, it didn't matter much to the ending.
