After Xia Chengyi's brothers and sisters finished solving a pot of bacon and bamboo shoots, Xia Yao ran into the inner room to rest, while Xia Chengyi put away the dishes and chopsticks and moved the brazier to keep the New Year. Xia Chengyi looked up at the sky and looked up at the starry curtain, the stars were shining.

The young man had nothing to do, so he ran into the house and took out the rusty piece of iron that Xia Yao gave him, and took it in his hand to study it carefully. The texture of the iron sheet is extremely smooth, as if holding a piece of clotted agarose, smooth and delicate. Xia Chengyi was very surprised, if there was any difference between this iron piece, the young man couldn't see it at all, it was no different from ordinary rusty iron pieces.

At this moment, the iron piece in the young man's hand suddenly rose up, and flew in front of the young man with a whoosh, like a flying sword, the sword intent was majestic, the momentum was magnificent, and the tip of the sword was invincible.

The boy was startled by the sudden movement. I thought it was a ghost, so I hurriedly shouted, "There are ghosts!" ”

Xia Yao was also woken up by the young man's movements, and walked out of the inner room in a daze, looking at the young man sleepily, "What's wrong, brother?" ”

"Yes...... Ghosts! ”

The young man still looked frightened and frightened, the young man had never seen such a strange scene, at most, he knew from the words of the old people that there were ghosts and ghosts on the mountain, but now he really faced it with the heart of a teenager, and he was naturally frightened.

Xia Yao frowned slightly, looked around and saw no trace of it, and said with some doubts: "Where is the ghost?" ”

Xia Chengyi wanted to point out the piece of iron that flew into the air to Xia Yao, but found that the piece of iron was lying quietly in his hand at this time, without the slightest hint of the rainbow-like momentum just now.

"Huh?"

Xia Yao yawned and glanced at the piece of iron in Xia Chengyi's hand, "Brother, are you confused, how can there be any ghosts?" ”

Xia Chengyi was undecided.

In the end, Xia Chengyi only thought that she was confused, and Xia Yao continued to go into the house to rest, and she had to go to the school tomorrow morning.

The piece of iron that was placed on the table trembled slightly when Xia Yao entered the room, as if he saw a god.

Xia Chengyi sat by the brazier and chanted the words: "The sky is clear and the earth is spiritual, and the gods and Bodhisattvas are about to appear." You and I are innocent and innocent, and there is a debtor and a master, you can go to the person who has a grudge, and I am a little ......Bodhisattva here."

It's dark at night.

The young man lit an oil lamp in the middle of the room, took out a yellowed book, and began to read the words according to the annotations drawn on it, this book was brought back to him by Xia Yao from the school, in Xia Yao's words, that is, as the first female master in the future, if his biological brother is an illiterate person who can't read a single word, what if it is good?

After hearing this, the young man just grinned and said What's wrong with being illiterate, didn't being illiterate teach a female master? Besides, your brother and I can't use literacy, and I won't come to Tianba in the future to go to Tianba.

Seeing this, Xia Yao resorted to the technique of killing and coquettishness, and in the end, Xia Chengyi couldn't resist Xia Yao, picked up this "literacy book", took it out when he had time, and followed the annotations drawn by Xia Yao for him, learning to read words and texts.

Xia Chengyi flipped through this "literacy book" page by page, and while reading it, he wondered if he should buy Xia Yao a bookshelf dedicated to storing books in the future, so that it would reflect the identity of the female master, right?

But the young man is a little sad again, if his father and mother have knowledge, he will be very happy, right? It is not easy for a helpless teenager to pull his sister alone since he was a child, but the boy never complained, he was only afraid that his parents would worry about him and Xia Yao underground.

The brother and sister had a very hard time when they were children, so Xia Chengyi's annual wish is to live a good life, the young man is not afraid of hardship, he is afraid of Xia Yao's hardship.

The young man is a very practical person, just as the young man will tell Zhong Quan at a glance that he can keep his own one-third of an acre of land if he can't cultivate.

People live for a lifetime, and they live in a thousand ways.

The young man lay on the table and looked at the book in a daze, confused, as if he was asleep, like a dream.

While the boy was asleep, the yellowed books that he had pressed under his elbows suddenly bloomed with golden brilliance, and the piece of iron on the table suddenly rose into the air, glowing with brilliance.

Xia Chengyi seemed to have had a long dream, in which he walked a long way, and the road was pitch black, only the white road under his feet stretched out.

I don't know how long I walked, at the end of Baimang Road, Xia Chengyi stepped out, and the sky and earth suddenly shone brightly.

A snow-white cloud climbing long staircase appeared in front of Xia Chengyi, the long staircase went straight to the sky, full of radiance, containing a sublime and pure majestic atmosphere, like a god in the sky, tall and vast, its blooming light was dazzling and dazzling, Xia Chengyi wanted to open his eyes but was stinged to tears.

"Xia Chengyi, open your eyes and take a look."

At this time, a mellow voice sounded in Xia Chengyi's ears.

Xia Chengyi slowly opened his eyes and found that Mr. Lu, who was dressed in white and snow, was standing beside him, with fluttering clothes and two snow-white sleeved robes fluttering in the wind, but his figure was ethereal, like a god.

Xia Chengyi asked blankly, "Lu ...... Mr. Lu? ”

Lu Ran smiled kindly.

This is the first time Xia Chengyi has seen Mr. Lu smile, in the impression of the teenager, Mr. Lu is a strict and old-fashioned, unsmiling teacher, but at this moment, Mr. Lu is like a spring breeze, like a spring breeze.

For some reason, Xia Chengyi's hanging heart also relaxed when he saw Lu.

Lu Ran said softly: "Xia Chengyi, the avenue is at your feet, the opportunity is rare, don't miss it." ”

Xia Chengyi's eyes were blank, and then he shook his head, "Mr. Lu, I am stupid by nature, and I am not the material for cultivation, so I should leave this opportunity to others." ”

Lu Ran smiled gently: "Do you remember what I said to you that day?" If God does not take it, it will be blamed; When it doesn't work, but suffers from it, you might as well try to take a walk? If it fails, then find someone else. ”

Xia Chengyi scratched his head, "Then take a look?" ”

Lu Ran responded with a wink and said humorously: "Then let's take a look!" ”

After the young man got Lu Ran's instructions, he stepped out and stepped up the steps, but he didn't expect that his legs were like being filled with lead, and he was struggling. The boy gritted his teeth and reluctantly took a small step up the steps, and when he stepped on the steps, the heavens and the earth suddenly shone brightly.

"Xia Chengyi, if you dare to take another step, you will not be reincarnated in your life!"

A voice sounded in the boy's ears through the layers of heaven and earth.

And above the clouds, a woman's voice sounded in an extremely spicy tone, but the voice was particularly immature.

"Fuck you! Do you make a try? ”

This spicy energy is a bit like Xia Chengyi's daughter-in-law in their town. The boy couldn't help but laugh and continued to take the second step upward.

The heavens and the earth suddenly exploded with a loud sound, like the drums of gods and men, endlessly.

The boy kept walking upward, step by step, until he reached the end of the steps, and looked back to see that he had already walked ten thousand steps.

A sigh came from heaven and earth.

And I don't know when Mr. Lu in white is already standing side by side with the young man.

The young man turned his head to look at the green-shirted Confucian who was already frosty as snow on his temples, "Mr. Lu? ”

The white-clothed Confucian with his temples already frosty as snow replied with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Mr. Lu, have I succeeded?"

"One last step to go."

I saw a small seal in front of the haggard white-clothed Confucian priest, and the divine light was shining.

Lu Ran put his fingers together to make a sword, and used his sword qi to engrave the word "benevolence" on the seal, and then with a wave of his sleeve, the seal slowly fell into the young man's hand.

After doing all this, Lu Ran's face was tired, but between his eyebrows was satisfaction, Lu Ran smiled with relief: "It's foolproof to think about it." ”

Xia Chengyi looked at the small and delicate seal on his palm, which was no different from what he usually saw in the shop, Xia Chengyi was a little curious: "Sir, this is?" ”

Lu Ran explained: "For a gadget, if you buy a favorite book in the future, you can put a seal on the tree. ”

Xia Chengyi said shyly: "Mr. said it was funny, I am still reading and learning to read and write, let alone encountering my favorite private books." ”

Lu Ran laughed heartily, "It's okay, as long as you have a heart, there is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid that people with a heart will travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books." ”

Lu Ran remembered that he was traveling to study back then, and a book was so ripe that even the pages were turned over and over again, but Lu Ran was reluctant to lose it, because this was the only relic that his husband left him in the world back then, and Lu Ran missed his husband a little.

Lu Ran looked up at the sky and said loudly: "I am willing to lose the bet, since I lose, I will hand over another item to this young man." ”

Heaven and earth are silent, and there is no noise.

Xia Chengyi was a little puzzled about who Mr. Lu was talking to, there were only him and Lu Ran in this world, and there was no one else.

It didn't take long for a cold snort to sound between heaven and earth, majestic, with a little suppressed majesty.

A silver light appeared, piercing the sky, with a rainbow sword light suddenly came, a three-foot long sword suspended in front of Xia Chengyi's eyes, and there were bursts of ancient and suppressed majestic sword intent from the sword, and the sword body was glowing with a trace of cold light. Then a flash of golden light flashed, which instantly disappeared into the long sword, and then dissipated without a trace.

Lu Ran shouted in a deep voice: "Xia Chengyi, reach out and hold it!" ”

Xia Chengyi reached out and held the long sword out of instinct, the long sword was cold and piercing in his hand, like holding an ice pick, if it weren't for the firmness of the young man's heart, I am afraid it would have been thrown out long ago.

The young man trembled all over, and his teeth chattered: "I can't cure you if I don't believe it!" ”

And the long sword also let out a slight trembling sound.

The young man roared, his eyes fierce staring at the long sword in his hand, as if he wanted to crush it to ashes! And the young man's palm was already blurred with flesh and blood, and white bones could be seen.

A moment later, the sword recovered and fell into the young man's flesh and blood blurred palm. The young man held the hilt of the sword and gently waved the long sword, the sword light was like snow, dragging out a silver light, like a milky way waterfall flying out.

Lu Ran smiled and quipped: "Yes, I have the demeanor of a hero." ”

The boy grinned, and then a tingling pain in his palm made the boy gasp.
