Sixty years ago, Emperor Daqing was enthroned.

The crown prince ascended the throne, the four seas were leveled, and the whole world celebrated. Choose the year name, Tianjia.

In this year, the emperor ordered all the people of Daqing to provide a method for prolonging life. Extend your life for ten years, reward a mansion in the capital, prolong your life for 20 years, and you can drink wine......

Extend life for a hundred years, and allow it to enter the white jade building to watch the flying map.

……

The early years of Tianjia.

A fog filled the territory of the Daqing Dynasty, shrouding the hearts of those "cultivators".

A piece of news that has gone far and wide has made the world crazy.

There is immortality in Mobei.

On this day, Emperor Qing ordered the dynasty qi refiners and battlefield warriors to go to Mobei to find the secret scroll of the Book of Heaven.

On this day, a middle-aged Taoist man in a green shirt with a sword on his back walked down on Shu Mountain, fell in ten steps, and had already dispersed his cultivation at the foot of the mountain.

……

……

Qingzhou, Baiyu Town.

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the town of Baiyu at night is also brightly lit, and all kinds of stalls and vendors are also shouting hard.

Many adults take their children to enjoy the lanterns, and some people gather together to do the legal thing - lighting the lanterns and offering to the Buddha.

Countless candles illuminate the clay Buddha statue with great brilliance and brilliance, like a living Buddha in the world.

In the market, a little beggar with dirty hair and messy hair sat in the corner of the wall with his head bowed, his face could not be seen clearly, and no one would look at such a small beggar.

"Little thief! You dare to steal my sugar gourd! In the distance, an angry voice rang out.

The little beggar raised his eyelids in confusion and looked at the place where the sound came, but saw a thin black figure rushing away from his eyes carrying a large string of sugar gourds.

Turning his head again, several middle-aged men also rushed here.

"Look, there's a little beggar there, it must be his accomplice, up!" One of the strong men shouted.

The little beggar's eyes widened, do you want to be so unreliable, Lao Tzu, I have been sitting here for a day, and I haven't moved my buttocks, why am I an accomplice?

He didn't have to think about it, the group of people with wooden sticks was about to approach, and the little beggar immediately stood up and ran in the direction of the black shadow just now.

Although the little beggar looked tattered and languished, his leg strength was not ordinarily good, and the men were thrown off in the blink of an eye.

The little beggar's eyes widened, trying to find the location of the shadow.

Running to the river, the little beggar suddenly stopped and looked around, his eyes fixed on a reed, and he ran into it with determination.

By the time the crowd arrived, the little beggar had long since disappeared.

"This little rabbit cub belongs to a dog, it's skinny and bones, and it's running so fast, damn it!" One of them gritted his teeth.

"You're unlucky enough to have that little thief steal something that big on the street." Another said.

"I'm just going to go to the toilet, who knew the fuck would do this!"

"Okay, okay, no one can be found, go back. After all, it's a little kid without a father, and it's also a way to live......"

“……”

The crowd slowly left.

In the reeds.

The little beggar crawled back some distance, reached somewhere, got a string of sugar gourds, and bit it.

The black shadow suddenly stopped the movements of his hand, and in the darkness, he looked at the little beggar in amazement and said, "This is mine!" ”

The little beggar looked at him disdainfully and said, "You stole it." ”

"That's what I stole with my skills!"

"I was mistaken for your accomplice by that group of people, since I didn't find you, I chased me for a few miles, and ate a few strings of sugar gourds from you, and you still feel distressed?" The little beggar spit out a few hawthorn seeds and said.

The black shadow was silent and took a bite of the sugar gourd in his hand.

He asked vaguely, "How do you know I'm here?" ”

"I have a very sharp nose, and I chased after the aroma of sugar gourds." The little beggar replied nonchalantly.

The black shadow also spat out a series of hawthorn seeds and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Xu Qing."

"My name is Song Qiyun."

The little beggar frowned slightly, "Song Qiyun? Your father got it for you? ”

"I took it myself."

The little beggar raised his eyebrows, "You still know how to read?" ”

"The old gentleman who went to school in the town was very nice, I eavesdropped whenever I had time, and he never pushed me away, so he also recognized some words."

The black shadow bit down a sugar gourd, and said: "When I was very young, my father and mother left me and left, I don't know where I went, I went in such a hurry, I even forgot to give me my name." ”

The little beggar whispered and asked, "Then why did you choose this name?" ”

The black shadow bit off the last sugar gourd, lay down with his hands behind his head, he looked at the stars in the sky, and said softly: "Because I will often be unhappy, when I am unhappy, I will imagine myself lying in the white clouds, and when I look down, there are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, so I don't need to see those people." ”

The little beggar Xu Qing turned his head, and also learned to lie down in the appearance of a black shadow, looking at the sky full of stars around the moon, there were stars in his eyes, and stars falling.

"Even the stars have a home......

Xu Qing muttered.

He thought he had experienced enough, seen enough, and thought that he had become accustomed to the "unfairness" and "difficulty" of this world.

Everything was just what he thought.

He thought he could work hard to find a way out for himself, but the man saw him as a child, and when the day came to pay him, he began to pay his debts.

He thought he could beg for a living, and there would always be good Samaritans in the world who would be willing to give him some money, but he hadn't eaten for three days.

This world was extremely ugly in Xu Qing's mind.

……

"What about you? Why is it called Xu Qing? Song Qiyun asked.

Xu Qing was speechless for a while, and after a moment of silence, he said lightly: "Maybe my father and mother want me to be innocent all my life." ”

"Real soil." Song Qiyun pursed his lips.

The breeze blew into the reeds and through the young man's heart.

The reeds fluttered, as if they were wiping the starry sky for the moon. A gust of wind blew, and the reeds in the reeds swayed up and down together, just like a woman nodding her head and smiling like a flower.

The two teenagers became a pair of good friends on this night, and in Song Qiyun's words, it was a "fateful" friendship.

After that, the two built a simple wooden shed out of dead wood in the reeds, and the rain leakage was inevitable, but at least they had a home.

"Lao Xu, it's not good, it's not good, our house has been stolen!"

Song Qiyun came running from a distance and shouted.

Xu Qing, who was basking in the sun at the entrance of the market, was startled, opened his eyes with difficulty against the dazzling sunlight, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" You speak slowly. ”

"I came home from work today, and as soon as I arrived at the reeds, I saw a strange uncle in a blue robe, holding a wooden sword, cutting our reeds there, and by the time I arrived, I had already cut down a lot!" Song Qiyun said anxiously.

"Let's go back and see."

The two of them ran to the reeds as fast as they could.

There is a small stream in Baiyu Town, which runs through this town, and the water of the town comes from this stream, the water of this stream is very clear, and even the swimming fish at the bottom of the water can be clearly seen, Xu Qing and Song Qiyun sometimes come to this creek to touch the fish, but neither of them seems to be very good at it, and occasionally they can only touch one or two, or small fish.

Reeds are common next to this stream, and Xu Qing and Song Qiyun's reeds are near the only stone bridge in the creek.

Xu Qing and Song Qiyun rushed home non-stop, and found that there were indeed a lot fewer reeds, but there was still a piece still there, the breeze was blowing, and the reeds nodded.

At this moment, the strange uncle suddenly came out of the reeds, holding some dry branches in his hands.

Song Qiyun pulled Xu Qing and ran over, shouting, "Old bastard, give your grandfather Song a stop!" ”

The green shirt turned his head to look at the two of them suspiciously, but saw Song Qiyun pounce on him like a vicious dog, and he turned slightly sideways and dodged.

Song Qiyun threw himself into the reeds and ate a mouthful of soil.

Xu Qing looked helpless, looked at the green shirt, and asked, "May I ask why you cut down our reeds?" ”

The green shirt looked at Song Qiyun with interest, then looked at Xu Qingxiao and asked, "The reed is a natural thing, the earth makes it grow, and the sky makes it grow, why did it become your reed in your mouth?" ”

Xu Qing was stunned and speechless for a while.

Song Qiyun hurriedly said: "This place came first to us, of course it is ours!" You broke in indiscriminately and cut so many! ”

Xu Qing nodded and said, "That's right, it's true that reeds are natural things, but why did you cut them?" ”

Tsing Yi looked at the aggressive appearance of the two, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I surrendered, I just took off the reed to make a fire primer and used it to grill fish." ”

"Grilled fish?" Song Qiyun immediately pricked up his ears, and his eyes were straight on the top of the green shirt.

Tsing Yi shook his head with a smile, he pointed to the fish that were still jumping on the ground not far away, at least five or six!

Song Qiyun immediately ran over, like a treasure.

The eyes are like ink-colored gems, and the scales on their bodies are like armor, which is really powerful, vivid and lovely, extremely fat, and very greedy......

Xu Qing couldn't cry or laugh, he looked at the green shirt and continued to ask: "But even if you make a fire primer, you can't use so many reeds." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, that little wooden shed inside is your residence, it's too basic. It is inevitable that when it is windy and rainy, it will have no effect at all. So I took a reed and mixed it with dirt and repaired it. Tsing Yi said gently.

Xu Qing walked over, pushed aside the reeds, and saw that the original wooden shed that was leaking on all sides was now a little refined. Three sides have been completely sealed with earth, and one of them is a gate for access.

Xu Qing turned his head to look at Qingshan, "Thank you." ”

Qingshan laughed, waved his hand, and motioned for Xu Qing to go over and eat grilled fish together.

The night is like lacquer, and the moonlight is bright.

Beside the reeds, three people ate grilled fish around a campfire.

"So, you came out of Shushan to explore the rivers and lakes?"

"yes."

"At first glance, you haven't made a name for yourself, how old are you, and you still tie a wooden sword......" Song Qiyun said disdainfully.

"Actually, I suddenly felt that you were a good person, and I was wrong to blame you before." Song Qiyun said with a serious face.

Qingshan's face was black, and he remembered that Song Qiyun called him an old bastard before.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xu Qing, and his name is Song Qiyun."

"Well, my name is good, I chose it myself." Song Qiyun said proudly.

"Sounds good."

"Where's your home? Why live here? ”

“……”

The three of them talked until late at night, and the bonfire had been extinguished, and only a little bit of burning remained, and a few sparks splashed out from time to time.

"Uncle, do you know martial arts?"

"Yes."

"How high are your martial arts?"

"It's about seven or eight years tall."

"It's so high, then you can teach me to practice martial arts, so that it will be more convenient for me to work in the future, and I can throw them away without a trace with a few light strokes."

……

"Uncle, we don't know your name yet?"

"Chen Qingshan."

"Qingshan, Qingshan, uncle, you really know how to choose a name."

……

For several months, Chen Qingshan stayed with the two teenagers, and their feelings for Chen Qingshan were also enriched.

"Lao Chen, don't you know martial arts? If you let me see and understand, will you be like that, the kind of ability to cut off the river with one finger and ride the clouds and fog? ”

"I'm in a good mood today, you kid has shown me a good look."

Chen Qingshan slowly drew out his wooden sword, swung it lightly towards the sky, and then turned to leave.

"Lao Chen, you ......"

Song Qiyun was about to complain, but he was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him and couldn't speak.

The sky was layered with thick clouds, and a line was cut open, and this line was not known to be tens of thousands of miles long.

Sunlight shines through the cracks, a wonder of the world.

"Lao Chen, teach me!"

"Lao Chen, I want to learn too!"

Xu Qing and Song Qiyun hurriedly caught up with Chen Qingshan.

……

"Lao Chen, do you think I'm handsome with this sword?"

Song Qiyun held a wooden branch and slashed towards the stream, and in an instant, the stream was briefly cut in two, and then returned to its original state.

"Boy, you're still far from it."

……

"Huang Hua said that every year is good. Also take advantage of the autumn to get old. The green sideburns are not shocked, if you fight in front of the honor, people are so good that they are laughing......"

Late at night, Song Qiyun had fallen asleep, and Xu Qing sat alone on the stone bridge and read softly.

"How much do you know about the peach knot. He lives on Sanshan Island. When the day crosses the return to Luan, the sea flies dust, and the world is karma. ”

“……”

Not far behind Xu Qing, the green shirt silently watched Xu Qing's back.

……

"Lao Chen, why are you in such a hurry to call us over?"

"They'll find that place soon, I've been here too long, it's time to go, and before I go, I'm going to tell you something."

Song Qiyun couldn't react a little, he looked at Xu Qing in amazement, Xu Qing's face was calm.

Chen Qingshan looked at Xu Qing and said slowly:

"Ah Qing, you have a maturity far beyond your peers, which is not necessarily a good thing, when you are a teenager, you have the best youthful spirit. I don't know what's going on in your heart, but you just need to understand that what comes is what you are comfortable with. In my opinion, when you step into the path of cultivation, you are suitable for Confucianism and Kendo, but I have never heard of anyone practicing both, so you still have to make a choice when it comes to safety. ”

Then Chen Qingshan turned his head to look at Song Qiyun, and said softly: "Qiyun, your kendo talent is not as good as Ah Qing, but you have a pure heart and perseverance, after I leave, don't slack off, you need to practice your sword every day." ”

"You have been alone since you were a child, you shouldn't have established a word yet, today I will think of a word for you in advance, just call Yunzhuang, okay?"

"Also, after I'm gone, if you hear anything about me, don't come to me, remember to ......"

On this day, Uncle Tsing Shirt left the reeds.

On this day, Xu Qing and Song Qiyun seemed to have lost their elders again.
