Chen Yu knelt on the ground, with a sad face, and threw the paper money in his hand into the pile of paper money burning in front of the grave.

His thin face was glowing with firelight, and he looked a little red.

Near the graves was uncultivated wasteland, and the lush thatch swayed gently in the breeze, leaving the surrounding area with only a small dirt road looming in the grass.

In front of the tomb was erected a two-foot-high bluestone tombstone with the inscription "Tomb of Chen Qiuyan." ”

"Mother, the child will go to the Spirit Sword Gate in two months, and I am afraid that there will be less time to accompany you at that time, I hope my mother will not be surprised."

Speaking of his joining the Spirit Sword Sect, a glimmer of brilliance appeared in Chen Yu's eyes, as if he saw his mother touching his head like before, looking at him with a relieved smile.

In fact, Chen Qiuyan is not Chen Yu's biological mother, but the grace of adoption is more important than Mount Tai, and Chen Yu has long regarded Chen Qiuyan as his own mother in his heart, and this kindness will never be forgotten.

That year, Chen Qiuyan found the abandoned baby in a stone cave and brought it home with him to take his surname. And for it to take the list word "encounter", that is, chance encounter is the meaning of fate.

Chen Yu muttered: "Although three years ago, for some reason, all my martial soul power disappeared, and I couldn't condense a trace of soul power, but my mother can rest assured that the child will definitely get rid of this predicament, live up to his mother's expectations and nurturing grace, and will not embarrass his mother." ”

He made an oath with a firm gaze, his fists clenched, and he kowtowed deeply three times against the tombstone.

......

"Chen Yu, you kid hurry up and give Lao Tzu out."

A shrill voice came from outside the grass, a hostile tone that shattered the silence around them.

Faced with the sudden shouting, Chen Yu did not get up, but burned paper money in front of the tombstone with a calm face as before.

A tall fat man outside the grass rushed to the grave with a fierce momentum, and after seeing Chen Yu, he glanced at the bluestone tombstone with disdain, and scolded angrily, "You kid let us find it, don't think that if you hide here, Lao Tzu won't be able to find you, say, what now?" ”

This person's name is Chen Huokun, he is the only son of the village chief, he is usually arrogant and domineering in the village, and he can't live a lifetime, for this kind of person, Chen Yu is too lazy to deal with it.

Chen Huokun is also accompanied by two small followers, and most of the forty or fifty families in this small Tongxi Village are from the family surnamed Chen, but even so, their blood relationship is very distant.

"What to do?" Chen Yu stood up and patted the dust on his hands.

He has never had anything to do with these powerful guys in the township, and I don't know what crazy they are today, so they actually went to his mother's grave to make trouble.

"Brother Kun don't talk nonsense with him, let him hand over his things and it's over." A tall man behind Chen Huokun said.

"Yes, hurry up and hand over the test-free card of the Spirit Sword Gate, otherwise we want you to look good." The other attendant pressed forward with a fierce look in his eyes.

"So, you guys were playing the idea of a test-free card?" In the face of the persecution of the three, Chen Yu smiled indifferently and did not quarrel with them, the villain's ugly face, he has seen too much in recent years,

"Nonsense, don't hand it over quickly, and then get out of our Tongxi Village." Chen Huokun said, "Otherwise, we will abolish you now." ”

The Spirit Sword Gate Exemption Card is given every three years to people under the age of thirteen within the jurisdiction who have stepped into the power of awakening the martial soul, so as to encourage everyone to cultivate hard, select talents, and let them be exempted from the examination and directly join the sect.

For the Spirit Sword Gate, this is just a small token, but for young people who want to get out of the remote village, it is the key thing for the carp to jump over the Dragon Gate.

As for letting him leave Tongxi Village, Chen Yu laughed even more, "Haha, three years ago, why didn't you dare to make this request?" ”

I remember that three years ago, Chen Huokun came to talk to himself like a pug, and asked himself for advice on the cultivation door, but he told the other party without concealment, but he didn't expect that after three years, the other party's progress was still slow, and now he actually played the idea of the Spirit Sword Gate test-free card.

As soon as he heard Chen Yu mention the past, Chen Huokun was angry, rushed to Chen Yu fiercely, grabbed the collar in front of Chen Yu's neck, and said angrily: "Don't think that you are still your former self, the power of the martial soul awakened at the age of twelve, and the triple martial apprentice at the age of thirteen, do you think you are very powerful?" That is already in the past, now you have no soul power, and you can't condense a trace of soul power, no matter how much you cultivate, there will be no hope. Three years ago, I was blind, so I came to talk to you about this kind of waste, I thought you could spread your wings and fly high, and also give us some benefits, but now, you look at your own waste, for our village, not even a dog and a chicken. ”

In the face of Chen Huokun's non-stop insults, Chen Yu said indifferently: "Even if I have no soul power, it won't be your turn." Besides....."

He didn't go on, he didn't want to deal too much with this group of people who were rampant in the countryside and now wanted to take away his free card.

"What did you say?" Chen Huokun was extremely angry, but he didn't expect that to this day, Chen Yu, who was like a waste in his eyes, still dared to talk back to himself, his anger was like a burning flame, and he instantly rushed to his head, his eyes were fierce, his fists were clenched and raised high, and he was about to teach him a hard lesson, and then take away the test-free card from him.

At this time, a voice came crisply, "Brother Yu, it turns out that you are here!" ”

A slender and petite figure walked along the small dirt road, she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, slender, fair-skinned, with long black hair draped over her thin shoulders, and a long sky-blue dress, with a gorgeous appearance, like a fluttering butterfly in a flower.

"Ning'er."

"Chen Ning'er, why are you here?" Chen Huokun's eyes were round and he said in surprise, and he couldn't understand why Chen Ning'er, who had always cultivated hard, appeared here, but since she came, Chen Huokun quickly suppressed the anger in his heart and let go of the hand that grabbed Chen Yu's collar, he didn't want today's matter to be known by others, especially in front of Chen Ning'er, who was now a seven-fold martial artist.

What's more, Chen Ning'er is the owner of another test-free card, where does he dare to offend.

Chen Ning'er saw the tense posture of several people, gently pursed her mouth, and snorted coldly at everyone, "What do you want to do?" She ran over and grabbed Chen Yu's arm, "Brother Yu, ignore them." ”

Chen Yu glanced at her, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, this little girl who used to pester herself everywhere she went, has now become a fresh and gorgeous girl, "Ning'er, I haven't seen you grow taller again for a long time." ”

"You haven't come to see me for a long time, brother, if I hadn't come to you, you would have forgotten about me a long time ago."

"No," Chen Yu shook his head, patted her head lightly and said, "How could I forget Sister Ning'er." Over the years, Chen Ning'er has been like her own sister, the two have practiced together, eaten together, and often accompanied her lonely mother to sit in the courtyard and look up at the starry sky, each talking about the secrets in their hearts. It was not until recent years that Chen Ninger entered her girlhood, and the discipline in her family gradually became stricter, not allowing her to run around in the village as a woman, and the time for the two to contact slowly decreased, but this brother-sister relationship has never changed.

"Then why didn't Brother Yu come to see me?" Chen Ning'er said dissatisfied, "I still have a lot of cultivation questions to ask my brother." ”

Chen Huokun on the side said: "Chen Ning'er, he is a waste now, he has no soul power at all, and if you ask him, it is equivalent to asking in vain?" ”

"Brother Yu is not a waste," Chen Ning'er turned her head sideways, looked at Chen Yu's angular face, and said confidently, "I believe that one day, my brother will be as dazzling as before, and people should not be looked down upon." ”

A sharp light flashed in Chen Yu's eyes, even if he had no soul power for three years, and he couldn't condense any trace of soul power, he still insisted on cultivating, and believed that he would one day get rid of this situation, but by his side, he hadn't seen this kind of trust like Chen Ning'er for a long time, on the contrary, he saw more endless ridicule and ridicule.

"Thank you Ning'er for your trust." He thanked from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, why are you so polite to my brother and me?"

Then, the two ignored the angry Chen Huokun, pushed aside the lush grass, and walked out along the small dirt road while chatting about homely things.

Chen Huokun, who was ignored, was angry, his teeth were clenched, and he wondered very much, "Don't Ning'er know that that guy is already a waste?" ”

"Brother Kun, what now?" The tall man asked.

"It's okay, don't rush it, and let the test-free card stay with him for a few more days. If it was him three years ago, we naturally couldn't do anything about it, but now, can't we still deal with a piece of waste? His eyes were cold, Chen Huokun seemed to have made up his mind, and the fat in the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, "Within a month, as long as you take away his test-free card, it will naturally be easy to enter the Spirit Sword Gate, and when the time comes, you will definitely be indispensable." ”

"Thank you, Brother Kun."

"Thank you, Brother Kun."

The two attendants immediately thanked each other, their eyes shining with greed.
