Chapter 3 The Fall of the North of the City

This mountain in the north of the city is called Luohuangling, the legend is the place where the ancient god Huang fell, and there is a thatched house at the foot of this Luohuangling Mountain, which is the home of Jiang Cheng and the old beggar. The thatched hut is not big, the old and the new are mixed, it seems that it is often sewn and repaired, there is a garden about ten square squares and a quaint well in front of the thatched hut, there are no vegetables in the garden and there are a lot of medicinal herbs, and the medicinal fragrance fills the whole garden.

It was getting dark, and the two of them also returned to this humble home, and Jiang Cheng was also the only one in the world who dared to eat the old beggar's elixir under the coercion and temptation of the old beggar.

As soon as Jiang Cheng got home, he lay down next to the well and tried hard to clasp his throat, but even when the bile was about to be pulled out, he couldn't pull out the dark five poison pills, and couldn't help but sigh to himself, "The way of the world... The way of the world..."

There were two straw mats spread on the ground at the edge of the house, and in the middle of the house there was a square table made of bamboo strips, and there were cups made of bamboo on top of it.

The smoke curled up, and the sporadic firelight became a bright light in the darkness of the sky, "The old man's meal is ready", saying that Jiang Cheng put the rice exchanged for the immortal yuan deceived by the old beggar during the day in a broken clay pot and served it hot,

"Old man, you eat first,"

The old beggar smiled and said, "It's really good, Cheng'er, today is my day to open the valley, go and bring me the medicinal materials in the garden, and I will eat the medicinal materials today, you can eat it yourself." "After that, send Jiang Cheng to get the medicine.

Jiang Cheng found a wrist-thick branch to repair the front into a shovel shape, and found a bamboo basket, and put the medicinal materials into the basket, the medicinal materials can not touch the metal, once touched, the medicinal effect will be lost, and the metal will transmit the medicinal effect to the surface, and then lose the essence. This was taught to him by the old beggar, so he was extra careful.

Speaking of the medicinal materials in this yard, even Jiang Cheng himself couldn't help but sigh about the methods of this old beggar, obviously a poor old beggar who couldn't even wear underwear, but he didn't know where to get the medicinal herbs of such a precious elixir to plant, and sometimes even moved the whole medicinal herbs from where to plant, but these medicinal materials, The seeds were all fed by him, and Jiang Cheng thought about the glittering medicinal materials in the yard: these medicinal materials are full of colors, swallowing fairy energy, and he said that this old beggar said that the plant called the nine-leaf Shenghua Lotus is similar to a lotus, but there are nine leaves on each plant, and the nine leaves are connected to each other and float on the ground, and the flowers stand there like virgins, the bright red ones are about to drip out the juice, and the stamens are still swinging up and down in the middle of the flowers, and Jiang Cheng is also stunned for a long time, the medicinal materials in this garden are extraordinary, where did this old man get itAt the beginning, I still wanted to exchange these medicinal materials for some immortal yuan food and clothing, and I didn't have to live this kind of prolonged life, but I didn't expect to be rejected by the old man in one bite, hey, I really found guilt, poor Jiang Cheng, who was famous in my life, also suffered from this, and Jiang Cheng also learned from the old beggar to stinky fart.

"Cheng'er is not okay yet?"

With the old beggar's question, Jiang Cheng also retracted his thoughts, "It's fine" Jiang Cheng put a few medicinal herbs dug up into a basket, washed them by the well, and took them into the house.

In Jiang Cheng's opinion, the old man seemed to swallow without chewing, and in one breath, the old beggar ate all the medicinal materials in the remaining basket, and landed on the straw mat, and from time to time there was a snoring sound of "huhuhuhu". Jiang Cheng was speechless when he saw it, and after cleaning up, he ate the meal he had exchanged for the day, and then rested early with the croaking of frogs and cicadas.

Three more ten, the sleeping Jiang Cheng was awakened by a dazzling light, Jiang Cheng opened his eyes and was also startled by the scene in front of him, the old beggar was lying on the straw mat with a glow, the golden light was shining like a god, and there were all kinds of halos around him, looking at it and feeling really incredible. Jiang Cheng looked at the old beggar for half an hour, but he didn't react, and he didn't dare to move him in case of accidents, and watched Jiang Cheng also fall asleep.

This sleep was not until the third o'clock of the day, Jiang Cheng woke up and saw that the old beggar was also awake, sitting next to him and watching, he couldn't help but be startled, "The dead old man scared me to death, why don't you sit next to me and watch me sleep, my privacy is seen by you this morning," (Of course, as a beggar, he has not been hungry since he was a child, let alone dressed, so he has always slept naked, and some characteristics of men will also appear in the early morning, like ...... "Hey, little rabbit, you still have privacy, I'm going to get up," the old beggar said. At this time, Jiang Chengqi thought about what happened last night and asked suspiciously:

"Old man, I saw you glowing all over your body last night, and I woke me up with the thought that you were on fire, or I wouldn't have slept until now today, it's all your fault, what happened to you last night?"

said that the old beggar's expression changed as if he was coping, "The child is sleepwalking, it must be thinking about some big girls during the day, and he sleeps in a trance at night, and he doesn't study well" After speaking, he left in a hurry, and before leaving, he told Jiang Cheng not to enter the city, and it is estimated that he went to the city to cheat and eat and drink again.

Jiang Cheng saw that he had no intention of answering, and he would not be able to do it. Get up and wash up, although he is a beggar, he has no fine clothes and food, but cleanliness and integrity have always been Jiang Cheng's principles in his heart, not seeking a gorgeous appearance but a clean and innocent heart, both inside and outside.

Jiang Cheng hastily packed up and ate the leftover steamed buns from yesterday, forgot the old beggar's instructions, and went straight to the main city of the Jiang family, because today is the day to select disciples in the clan once every four years, but the old beggar just didn't let himself enter the city today, "No matter, you must go."

The vast sea of people is not something that everyone can cultivate, and it is probably divided into two kinds of people, one is that Jiang Cheng is not physically qualified, and the other is that ordinary people are not qualified, and in the Jiang clan, only those who are selected through competition with the disciples in the clan can be qualified to become disciples in the clan and can cultivate and shoulder the burden of protecting the clan and defending the family. Those who are also selected can accept the guidance of the seniors in the clan and obtain the cultivation exercises and various cultivation resources in the clan. Therefore, becoming a disciple in the clan has become the goal of every teenager, and that is an honor.

This competition is a rare opportunity, once every four years, Jiang Cheng also wants to witness it, why don't he want to sign up. But when he thought of cultivation, there was a bitterness in his heart, and then there was a touch of firmness in his eyes, which overshadowed everything, and he was ready to go to the main city.

"It's hard to waste oneself for the destiny of heaven, and the foolish heart is full of sunrise."
