Junyoko is gone, taking the monkey with her. The small mountain village was boiling, and the parents of the monkeys celebrated with wine and feasted all the villagers. The villagers have lived here for generations, I don't know how many generations, or the first time someone has been favored by the gods, this is definitely the biggest joy in the history of Daliang Village.

No matter what the villagers were thinking in their hearts, everyone who went expressed their congratulations, even Xiang Haishan and his wife, but Xiang Bin saw a trace of hidden loneliness from the expressions of the two.

At noon the next day, the hunters who had entered the mountains rushed back to eat, and the children played at the entrance of the village, giggling as if nothing had happened. Only Xiang Bin sat alone at the door of the blacksmith shop, his face full of disappointment.

The other children didn't understand, but Xiang Bin knew what he was missing. Who didn't have a dream of flying through the clouds when he was a child? There was no possibility in his previous life, but he saw hope in this life, but he passed by, and it really hit him a lot.

He thought of the words of Chunyangzi that "there is no spiritual root at all", and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that his luck was too poor, so that his previous life was short, and he had no spiritual root in this life?

Xiang Bin was in a daze, a fat boy who was half a head shorter than him, peeing and mud around him, and there were two big snots on his nose, and he was having a lot of fun alone.

This child's name is Tiedan, his parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by his grandmother with rice cereal. I don't know if it's because I didn't eat enough milk, this kid is a little stupid and doesn't have enough eyes. The children love to amuse him on weekdays, especially the monkey who was taken away by Junyoko, and I don't know how many times he has been harmed. Xiang Haishan and his wife saw that their grandparents and grandchildren were pitiful, and often helped them, and Xiang Bin was also very sympathetic to this child, and often gave iron eggs to eat. After coming and going, Tie Dan became Xiang Bin's only "playmate" in the village, often following him in a hurry.

Ding ding, suddenly a crisp sound sounded at the entrance of the village, Xiang Bin looked up, only to see an old monk wearing a coarse cloth monk's robe and a bare head walking into the village with a woman.

The old monk's eyebrows were gray and very long, and they hung down from both sides to his chin, and he held a black bowl in his hand and a dark golden Zen staff in his hand, and his treasure was solemn.

The woman next to her was wearing a plain gown, and she looked like a monk, but she had black and bright black hair, a white complexion, a slender and graceful figure, and a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, revealing agility. The corners of the eyes are slightly upturned, slightly charming, but there is a natural and clear temperament, which makes people admire and dare not blaspheme.

She wore a necklace made of a series of small round silver rings on her chest, and each small silver ring was tied with a red rope to a small golden bead, and the jingling sound was the collision of these small gold beads.

With yesterday's events, the villagers have already instructed them, and the children who were playing saw these two people, and they all surrounded them, kneeling on the ground decently, all of them learning from each other, and saying the words "fairy auspicious" in a milky voice.

The adults also knelt down with smiles on their faces, their expressions full of anticipation, Xiang Haishan hesitated at the door, and said to Xiang Bin: "Hammerhead, follow me over and have a look." ”

Xiang Bin agreed, but frowned.

He is not an ignorant villager in the mountains, and the memories of his past life, all kinds of explosive information and experience, are his greatest wealth and dependence.

The Qi Refiner Divine Dragon saw the head but not the end, and mortals didn't have a chance to see each other on weekdays, so it was a coincidence that one came, but this is another wave...... It's a little abnormal.

Could it be that this village is so extraordinary? The children here are all immortal cultivators?

Or is it...... Because of his inexplicable arrival, let these worldly masters notice?

Thinking of the legend that he had read in the novels of his previous life, the legend that the gods can pinch and calculate, Xiang Bin felt a little uneasy inexplicably, but he still stood up and followed Xiang Haishan over.

Tie Dan's grandmother hurried over with a cane, pulling Tie Dan's ears and walking there, Tie Dan wiped his nose, grabbed a handful of thin mud, and muttered unwillingly.

"Qinglian, it seems that someone came a little earlier than us. The old monk smiled at the woman beside him, and saluted the villagers with his hands folded.

The woman nodded and spoke. The sound is extremely beautiful, revealing a smart silence, like a clear mountain spring flowing into the heart, which makes people feel refreshed.

"Uncle Shi, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the yuan power is abundant, which is very extraordinary. It's normal for someone to come here...... I just don't know if they got ahead of it. ”

The old monk glanced at the woman, and his expression was slightly solemn: "Qinglian also feels that this place is extraordinary? As soon as the old man entered this mountain, he had a whim, so it seems that the person who should be in the world may be here." ”

As if no one was talking to the two, the villagers didn't dare to talk more, Xiang Bin knelt behind Xiang Haishan and listened carefully to their conversation. Hearing the 'man of the world', his heart moved slightly, but he lowered his head a little deeper.

At this moment, Tie Dan, who was squeezed in with his grandmother, suddenly giggled, and the villagers looked over in amazement, Tie Dan held the mud in one hand, and pointed at the old monk with the other and said loudly: "Big bald head, big bald head! Old man, why don't you have hair?"

The old monk was slightly stunned, looked at Tie Dan with a smile, folded his hands and said kindly: "Looking for tranquility." ”

Tie Dan blinked his eyes, and he didn't know if he understood, but he pointed at the woman and said, "Then why does she have hair?"

The old monk glanced at the woman, the two looked at each other and smiled, the old monk turned his head and continued to reply gently: "Be calm." ”

Tie Dan's big eyes blinked again, and his brows furrowed slightly. The villagers looked at this usually silly boy in amazement, and their expressions gradually became complicated.

Many people intuitively felt that something was wrong in their hearts, and quietly pushed their children forward, but the children also seemed to be surprised by the iron egg, and they all stared at him with wide eyes, unmoved.

Xiang Bin looked at Tie Dan in surprise, he intuitively felt that this stupid boy seemed to be suddenly different at this moment, but as for the specific difference, he couldn't say.

At this time, Tie Dan did something that stunned and shocked everyone! He even tilted his grandmother's head in fright and fainted on the spot.

He actually threw the mud in his hand on the woman's clothes, staining the hem of the plain gown, as if throwing a bubble of on a clean lotus flower, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

The old monk and the woman were stunned, but Tie Dan blinked his eyes and asked, "Is it still quiet now?"

Before the two of them could answer, Tie Dan squatted down, grabbed a handful of wet soil, and threw it out from the crowd, and smashed it on the old monk's bare head again.

Now the villagers fryed, thinking that this kid had gone mad. Several adults jumped up and held him down, but the old monk waved his hand and motioned for the villagers to let go of him.

Everyone was stunned and then retreated, looking at the iron egg worriedly, and then looking at the old monk with pleading eyes.

Who knew that Tie Dan was unconscious, so he giggled twice, ran to the old monk and the woman, wiped his little muddy hands on each of their clothes, wiped them clean, and then raised them up and said ostentatiously: "I'm quiet, I'm quieter than you!"

After a short silence, the old monk folded his hands, pressed against the wet soil on his head, and said slowly: "Amitabha." ”

......

The iron egg was taken away, and no one thought that the silly boy on weekdays would have such a great blessing. Before leaving, this kid seemed to have opened his mind, and asked Xiang Bin to help him take care of his grandmother like a little adult, and told him to play with him in the future. Xiang Bin smiled and agreed, but he didn't know how many thoughts had turned in his heart.

That night, Xiang Haishan and his wife set up wine for Tiedan's grandmother to celebrate, and everyone drank from the sea again. During the banquet, some villagers joked, saying that it would be the luck of Daliang Village, and maybe there would be immortals to collect apprentices tomorrow. The villagers laughed and laughed at him for dreaming, but everyone's expressions also revealed a trace of enthusiasm and hope that could not be concealed.

Who would have thought that for several days, Qi refiners from different sects came to Daliang Village and took away a child through various so-called chances. To Xiang Bin's surprise, there were blonde and blue-eyed aliens among them, who looked like foreigners he had seen in his previous life.

There are also Qi Refiners who are gloomy and cold, and they don't look like good people. Although the family who was taken away from the child was very happy, Xiang Bin was secretly thinking in his heart, there is good and evil, I am afraid that it will be taken away by some demonic way, if you don't die for a lifetime, you can still laugh.

There were not many children of about the same size in the village, and these Qi Refiners who came were all children under the age of six, and when no one finally came, there were only two children under the age of six, and one of them was Xiang Bin.

When the villagers looked at Xiang Bin again, their eyes were a little strange.

Some Qi Refiners have repeatedly tested the children when selecting people, and Xiang Bin is naturally among them, and no matter what sect or sect, the final result of the test is that Xiang Bin has no spiritual roots at all and cannot practice.

According to these Qi Refiners, the strength of the spiritual root determines the future achievements on the path of cultivation, but all people have some spiritual roots, and those who have no spiritual roots are still the first time they have seen them.

The villagers who didn't know anything about cultivation didn't understand that it was just a matter of innate physique, and it had nothing to do with whether they were intelligent or not, and they looked at Xiang Bin with a look like they were looking at an idiot.

Xiang Haishan and his wife's mood can be imagined, but neither of the two of them blames Xiang Bin. Moreover, Xiang Haishan often goes out to purchase iron-making materials, and of course he has seen more of the world than the villagers, and he intuitively feels that suddenly there are so many "immortals" who come to Daliang Village to accept apprentices, some of them are not normal, and Xiang Bin was not selected, maybe it is not a bad thing.

As the days passed, everything had been gradually erased by the passage of time, but as the children who failed with Xiang Bin were admitted to the town's official school, the forgotten Xiang Haishan family was quickly remembered by the villagers.

The sister-in-law of the Zhang family will chew her tongue with the aunt of the Liu family, saying whether the kid of the Xiang Haishan family is an idiot or not. Uncle Liu would chat with Uncle Zhao and suspect that Xiang Haishan's family had done something wrong in their previous life...... Although these villagers do not harbor any great malice, in the face of clear contrasts, people's minds often unconsciously go to extremes and suspicions.

Xiang Bin was innocently branded as an "idiot" by the villagers, although Xiang Haishan and his wife did not treat Xiang Bin badly because of this, and still loved him incomparably, but Xiang Bin clearly felt that the two of them were laughing less and less, and they were more and more reluctant to go out.

After lunch on this day, Xiang Haishan was forging a firewood knife, Xiang Bin slowly paced in, stood at the door, and did not speak.

Xiang Haishan stopped moving, looked at Xiang Bin in surprise, and asked, "Hammerhead, what's wrong?"

"Dad, I want to learn martial arts. Xiang Bin said calmly but resolutely.

Xiang Haishan was stunned, his expression changed several times, and finally sighed, as if he had aged many years in an instant.

Xiang Bin had already made up his mind that he wanted to practice martial arts, which had nothing to do with the shame of his neighbors, since God let his life continue in this way, he couldn't just waste it in a mess, he always had to do something, and did something.

Since there is no hope of cultivating immortals, there are only two ways left: learning literature and practicing martial arts.

The scribes and warriors of this world are also different from Xiang Bin's cognition in his previous life.

The art of economics learned by the scribes is not just a way of poetry and songs, nor is it a trick of power and trickery after familiarizing themselves with a subset of scriptures and histories, but a method that can gather the minds of thousands of people and unite the strength of thousands of people.

And the Qimen Dunjia technique they learned has the powerful power of changing the heavens and the earth, attracting the power of heaven and earth to kill the enemy.

Therefore, in the battle array, the reader is often the key to victory or defeat. If there is a well-educated Confucian who leads the troops to the battle, even if he is a qi refiner with great magical powers, he must avoid his edge.

As for martial artists, although they practice martial arts to the extreme, they can also be like qi refiners, who have the power to turn over rivers and seas and open up the world, but the way of practicing martial arts requires great perseverance and perseverance, and it is even more difficult to reach a very high realm. Moreover, in order to improve martial arts, a large number of pills and extremely clever martial arts cheats are required, and these things are usually in the hands of imperial families or famous families, and ordinary people are rare to see.

Therefore, ordinary people's families, if the heirs can be selected to cultivate immortals, it is naturally the creation of eight lifetimes of cultivation. If you don't have this kind of blessing, most of you still hope that your children can read and learn the art of Jinglun, and only if you really don't have the talent to read and have no choice, you will let your children learn martial arts.

Although after becoming a high-level martial artist, you can also have glory, wealth and superhuman status, but the premise of practicing martial arts is to have good exercises. Powerful martial arts are mastered in the family of Jiangmen or the profound martial arts sect, in the general martial arts hall and the army, only some basic martial arts are taught, and the poor who have no foundation want to come out, only by accumulating military merits, relying on their lives to fight for their lives, in exchange for rewards, if they are lucky enough to get one or two good martial arts cheats, they can be regarded as having the hope of getting ahead.

Therefore, choosing this path is equivalent to choosing the day of licking blood with a knife, being accompanied by danger all day long, and dying for a lifetime.

Therefore, in comparison, unless it is a rich child or a poor family, the difficulty of learning martial arts to achieve success is far greater than learning the art of Jinglun.

Xiang Haishan threw down the forging hammer and looked at Xiang Bin silently, for a while he seemed to have an illusion, although his son was not big, but his eyes at this time were like an adult who had experienced life and death, with a clear firmness, clear beliefs, and knew what he wanted.

"I don't want to...... Do you want to learn literature?" Although he already knew the answer in his heart, Xiang Haishan still asked.

Xiang Bin shook his head and said: "I don't want to learn literature, no matter how good I learn, I need someone to protect me, a good man doesn't need to be protected by others, I want to learn martial arts well and protect you!"

After speaking, he kept silent, no matter what Xiang Haishan said, he didn't refute it, just shook his head.

He thought about it, with his current age, it was just right to say these words, if it was really like a river of mouths, I was afraid that his parents would really be suspicious and afraid of whether he was a monster.

After a while, Xiang Haishan finally gave up, he looked at Xiang Bin who was determined without saying a word, sighed and shook his head: "Your temperament, it's really up to me, stubborn! Let me think about it, you are still young, don't worry." ”

Xiang Haishan's mind is very simple, the child is still young, maybe because of the recent rumors of the neighbors, he understands something, so he has such an idea. When this momentum passes, it will be fine.

Although he also wants the child to get ahead, he doesn't want the child to fight for his life, which is really not possible, even if he is allowed to inherit his blacksmith skills and make iron all his life, he does not want him to take risks.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Xiang Haishan thought that Xiang Bin would be able to give up the idea of learning martial arts, but who knew that he had asked several times in the past six months, but Xiang Bin insisted on his own views and did not relax. Xiang Haishan also gradually understood that his son was afraid that he had really made a decision, and ten cows would not be able to pull it back.

In the evening of this day, a carriage came from the village and went straight to Xiang Haishan's house.

Xiang Bin was sitting at the door, the carriage was near, and the driver was a burly man, with a tall body and muscles all over his body, like pieces of iron lumps. Xiang Haishan was already a tall and strong man, but if he was compared with the person in front of him, he was more than a little bit worse.

And there was an invisible momentum around this person, although his expression was calm, and he smiled at him when he saw Xiang Bin, but Xiang Bin shivered for no reason, feeling like he was being targeted by a fierce tiger, and a cool air rose from his back.

When the carriage stopped in front of the door, the big man in the carriage jumped down, landed steadily, and asked Xiang Bin with a smile: "Are you a hammerhead?"

Xiang Bin's eyes showed a hint of vigilance, and he asked carefully, "Uncle...... Who are you?"

Dahan stepped forward and touched Xiang Bin's head with a smile: "It's really polite, much more sensible than my tiger! I'm your second uncle, I don't know if your father has ever talked about it?"

Xiang Bin was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had indeed heard his father say it. I have a second uncle named Xiang Haidong, who lives far away from here, and receives letters from him every year. And he vaguely remembered that this second uncle seemed to be a martial arts master.

The sound of talking attracted the attention of the house, Xiang Haishan walked out of the door in surprise, and when he saw this big man, his face immediately turned happy, and he said loudly: "Second brother! Why are you here! Hurry up, come into the house!"

The two laughed and patted their shoulders and walked into the house. Xiang Haishan ordered Xiang Bin to call his mother, clean up the food, buy meat and wine. That night, the two drank until midnight and drank four or five jars of old wine. Xiang Haishan was already dizzy, but this second uncle was not red-faced, his heart was not beating, and he was not drunk, it was really massive.

After the drink, the two gossiped. Although Xiang Bin had already gone into the back room to sleep, he was lying on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy, and the words of the two of them clearly penetrated into his ears.

"Big brother, I came this time, do you know what's going on?"

"Hehe, I wonder if you're in trouble! Otherwise, you won't be able to come and see me. ”

"Big brother, why do you talk like that, didn't my father make such a decision back then, wasn't it to protect you?

Xiang Haishan was silent for a while and didn't speak, but Xiang Bin in the house was in a heartbeat, his father never told him about his grandfather, but just said that he died early, and he didn't expect that there seemed to be some hidden feelings.

"Big brother, I'm here this time for one thing. The Xiang family school is going to re-enroll the heirs of the side line, and I plan to take the hammer head to try, I don't know if you want to. ”

I don't know who knocked over the flask. After being quiet for a while, he heard Xiang Haishan's hoarse voice trembling: "Clan, the clan school is going to recruit heirs again?" Yes, is it a liberal arts or a martial arts?"

"Naturally, it's martial arts, how can we, the descendants of the side branches, be qualified to study liberal arts? But even so, it's an opportunity! Big brother, are you willing?"

After a short silence, Xiang Haishan said, "I don't want to...... I am just such a son, and I am reluctant to let him leave! Besides, when my father expelled me from the house, I was no longer a member of the Xiang family, so how could my son go to the Xiang family's clan school?"

"Big brother...... Don't you still understand what happened back then? Dad felt guilty about you all his life, and he was chanting your name when he was dying! You were the person with the best qualifications when the Xiang family entered the school! But now, ...... Look at you! Do you really want the hammer to be like you, to strike iron all your life?!"

Xiang Haishan's voice was full of Xiao Suo: "What's wrong with striking iron? At least it can be safe...... Even if I go to the Xiang family school, I am just a foil for those direct children, and I don't want to repeat my mistakes again! I have made up my mind, you don't have to mention this matter again, let's leave tomorrow. ”

"Hehe, big brother, do you think that if you let the hammer learn to strike iron, you will really be safe for the rest of your life? Do you know why the Xiang family school began to recruit the children of the side branch again? This world, it is going to be chaotic......

Xiang Haidong's voice suddenly lowered, and Xiang Bin vaguely only heard words such as "Chen Win", "Wu Kuan", and "tyranny" and "rebellion......

"Big brother, after the death of the old master, he is now the head of General Xiang Purlin of Pingxi. General Xiang Ling is eloquent and strategic, fair, and has clear rewards and punishments! He is the best person to follow! You believe me, if you let Hammer Head stay at home like this, he will hate you in the future! Isn't Dad an example?"

After a while, I didn't know what Xiang Haishan had thought, so I heard him say in a low tone: "You're right...... I can't mistake the hammer, my father was there to protect me, but I hated him all my life...... Let him go, and you will take good care of him for me. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely train the hammer head to become the strongest martial artist in the Xiang family!" Speaking of this, Xiang Haidong's voice suddenly lowered: "Big brother, Xiang Yi's son is about to enter the clan school." You believe me, you pressed him back then, and now I will let the hammer crush his son! Let their father and son be defeated by your father's men. ”

"No!" Xiang Haishan was taken aback: "Isn't this the same as I did back then? The children of the side branch will be jealous if they are pressed on the head of the lineage! I don't want the hammer head to be suppressed like me, if he can learn a little thing plainly, I will be satisfied, you must not ......"

"Big brother, it's different now than back then, General Xiang Ling acts, appoints people on the basis of merit, if the hammer head really has potential, not only will it not be suppressed, but it is also very likely to soar into the sky from now on, so you should hope that he can come out, not afraid that he is too good to be ......"
