Chapter 1: The Failed Traverser
Sunset on the West Mountain, the ancient city under the afterglow of the sunset looks tall and majestic, and the three-character ancient plaque of 'Changping City' hangs on the platform of the city tower.
And the pedestrians and traders coming and going under the city gate are endless, all of them, all of them are busy with life.
A group of city guards checked pedestrians' packages for prohibited items in front of the city gates.
"It's been ten years!" A young man in cloth with a sword hanging from his waist, riding on a horse, looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar city wall, his eyes showed a complicated color: "I didn't expect that one day I would come back, my hometown in this world!" β
is the so-called homesickness is more timid, and he feels it the most at this time.
Thinking back then, he knew that he was reborn in a fairy world, he was excited, and vowed to become the emperor, stepping through the nine heavens, looking down on the world, standing proudly between heaven and earth, eternal and immortal!
When he was just able to speak, he pointed to the sky and the earth, shouting: "My life is up to me, not to heaven, heaven and earth are the only one!" β
His words stunned his parents, stunned his grandparents, and shocked the heavens, thinking that God had given them the Qilin child of the Zhao family, so Zhao Qingshan became the most special existence of the Zhao family, enjoying the best resources, and the library was also open to him, and the exercises were at his disposal.
Even Zhao Qingshan asked him to invite a body refining master to guide him to exercise, and his grandfather took the trouble to invite a great master of body refining from thousands of miles away to teach him, so that he could exercise in a planned and orderly manner from the age of two.
At the age of six, he underwent the Spiritual Root Test.
The spiritual root is the root of a person.
Only those who have spiritual roots can cultivate. The better the quality of the spiritual root, the better the talent and the faster the cultivation.
The lower grade spiritual root is the most basic requirement for cultivating immortals!
In that spiritual root test, Zhao Qingshan's parents, grandparents invited relatives and friends to watch the ceremony, and they couldn't wait to show off their unicorns to relatives and friends.
It's a pity that the results of the spiritual root test are unsatisfactory, Zhao Qingshan has the spiritual root, but he only has a low-grade spiritual root, which can reach the minimum threshold for cultivating immortals.
If it's just like this, disappointment will be disappointment, but after all, if you can cultivate immortals, you won't be able to become a foundation building period monk in the future, but there is still a Qi cultivation period monk, and if you are lucky, you may be able to reach the ninth level of Qi training!
What made Zhao Qingshan's parents and grandparents desperate the most was that Zhao Qingshan had four kinds of spirit roots, commonly known as miscellaneous spirit roots, and they were also miscellaneous spirit roots among the miscellaneous spirit roots.
The spiritual root pursues singleness and purity, so the monk only needs to concentrate on cultivation.
And if there are two spiritual roots, then the spiritual roots are not pure, and they are regarded as the spiritual roots are polluted, and the monks have to cultivate the two spiritual roots at the same time, and the time and energy spent will increase exponentially.
You must know that human lifespan is limited, and human energy is limited.
Cultivating immortals is a matter of fighting against the heavens, there are many difficulties, and the monks in the Qi cultivation period are actually not much different from ordinary people, the limit of life expectancy is a hundred years, and there is only one life when they are 100 years old.
The vast majority of monks have difficulty in building a foundation in their lifetime and become a foundation building monk.
As for Zhao Qingshan's four-line miscellaneous spirit root, it was simply desperate, and everyone could imagine how difficult it would be to cultivate!
At that time, Zhao Qingshan was high-spirited and ambitious, he shouted loudly: "My life is up to me, I don't have to do it, there are many people in the world who have no way to go, there is a way, others can't just mean that he Zhao Qingshan can't, he wants to walk out of a road to heaven!" β
Zhao Qingshan's bold words and ambitions aroused the confidence of his parents, grandparents, and raised their expectations again.
But it turns out that so many people have hit a wall before, and Zhao Qingshan can't avoid it.
The four systems of miscellaneous spirit roots, his qualifications are ordinary, his cultivation speed is outrageously slow, the family has smashed so many resources, and as a result, when he is thirteen years old, Zhao Qingshan can reach the first level of qi cultivation.
And this is already the result of Zhao Qingshan's rain or shine and diligent cultivation!
"Qingshan, accept your fate, you have average roots, there is no hope of building a foundation in this life, and the family resources are limited, you should still die!" The words of my parents that night are still ringing in my ears.
Zhao Qingshan was not convinced, he did not accept his fate!
He shouted loudly, 'My life is up to me', he will never succumb to fate, he will fight against fate!
Fighting with the sky, the fun is endless; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; It's a lot of fun to fight with people!
That night, after pouring a few bowls of chicken soup for the soul in his room, he resolutely packed a suitcase, held a sword, and ran away from home over the wall in the middle of the night.
He believes that there is a great terror between life and death, and he has to sharpen himself between life and death!
He wants to walk the rivers and lakes, walk chivalrous and righteous, and walk the world with a sword!
When he just left 'Changping City', he regretted it!
After all, this is a fairy world, not only monks, but also demon beasts! He is unfamiliar with the place and has never left the city, how can he survive?
But his pride was troubled, and after struggling outside the city, he took heavy steps and left Changping City with three turns.
In the past ten years, he has endured countless hardships, experienced countless lives and deaths, seen all the splendid rivers and mountains of the Jin Kingdom, experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, and then looked at his own cultivation, which is the second layer of Qi training.
"Actually, it's pretty good to lie flat!" Zhao Qingshan smiled self-deprecatingly.
Once upon a time, in the previous life, he was heartbroken by young people who chose to lie down, thinking that young people should work hard and struggle, and there is no sweetness if they don't endure hardship!
But in this life, the facts tell him that he is still too stupid and naΓ―ve!
He has been working hard for more than 20 years, he has shed an unknown amount of sweat, shed an unknown amount of blood, and experienced many difficulties when he left his hometown.
Compared to ordinary people, he is naturally much stronger, but compared to those monks, he is just a bottom.
Looking back, I have worked hard for more than 20 years, and the result is no different from myself from being a millet worm since I was a child.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qingshan was disheartened.
Since no matter how hard you work, it's better to choose to lie down completely.
Anyway, with the Zhao family's family assets, it should be no problem to ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
"I should be the worst from the traverser, if you want the old man to have no old man, if you want the system to have no system, it's a typical negative teaching material!" Zhao Qingshan smiled self-deprecatingly, he felt that he had disgraced the traverser and the reborn.
He doesn't deserve to be a traverser!
He doesn't deserve to be born again!
What he learned, watched, and worked in his previous life, and all the memories of his previous life, were completely useless to him in this life, but a burden!
"No wonder traversers need to have a system, without the help of the system, it is simply difficult to move an inch, and they can't play the natives at all!" Zhao Qingshan dismounted, led the horse through the inspection of the city guards, and entered Changping City.
As soon as you enter Changping City, the main street is full of pedestrians, prosperous and lively.
The sound of hawkers, and the sound of some inns and restaurants pulling customers, are bustling. On both sides of the street, there are also various shops, inns, restaurants, and so on.
......
Walking all the way, looking at the familiar shops and restaurants, the familiar river stone bridge.
Finally, leading the horse, they came to the outside of a mansion.
This mansion covers a large area, about two or three hundred acres in size, and the gate looks very magnificent, the wall is high, and the vines are crawling all over. There are two big stone lions squatting in front of the mansion, three beast-headed gates, and more than a dozen people in gorgeous clothes sitting in front of the door.
The main entrance was not opened, and only the east and west corner doors were entered. There is a plaque above the main entrance, and the plaque has two big characters of "Zhao Mansion".
As soon as Zhao Qingshan arrived with his horse, someone stopped him and said, "This is Zhao's Mansion, don't get close to the idlers, lest you get into trouble!" β
Zhao Qingshan glanced at this person: "I am the eldest son of the Zhao family 'Zhao Qingshan', why don't I report to my wife and master quickly and tell them that my son is back!" β
"The eldest son!?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You little white face, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be a liar!" β
"It's just a matter of going to other places to cheat and eat and drink, and you actually came to my Zhao Mansion to cheat, and I have to break your legs today!" The man's eyes suddenly showed a fierce expression, and he grinned with his teeth.
