The Broken Mountain Sect is a little-known fourth-rate sect in the Canglan Empire, like other small sects in this world, yearning for the strong, yearning for ascension, yearning for great freedom, this is the ideal of the cultivator, and it is also the ideal of every aspirant.

It was May, the spring was strong, not cold, but a little cool, the gentle spring breeze gently swept across the earth, flowed into the rivers and seas, climbed the mountains, and finally stirred up a little bit of fog and dust, returned to the clouds, with the dream of every cultivator, went to the vast upper realm that was difficult to glimpse the true face.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, there was a young man with a focused expression, holding a cloth bag in his hand, squatting in the forest, concentrating on the various plants and trees in front of him, occasionally stretching out his arm, forcefully and simply pulling out a herb, and putting the soil at the root into the large cloth bag that had been filled.

The young man's physique was very strong, and at first glance he knew that it was the result of doing physical work all year round, and he was dressed in a clean coarse linen robe, and he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, he was not tall, his skin was a little pale, and his face was not handsome, but it gave people a pleasant sense of comfort.

Cheap but neat clothes, messy but not messy black hair, a pair of extremely clear eyebrows and eyes with an abyss-like tranquility, but the frowning brows at the moment make the calm and clear eyes a little more tired.

The boy raised his face, squinted at the sunset, which had sunk two-thirds of the way to the west, patted the dust on his body, got up and slung the bag on his shoulder, and took a steady and powerful step towards the distance.

Counting the herbs picked today, in addition to paying this month's rent, the Xuanjing in exchange for some can be left, which can almost add a new piece of jewelry to Sister Yun.

So the boy was a little happy.

Luo Tian, who had just walked to the foot of the Broken Mountain Sect, slowly stopped, looking at the cloud marks in the sky like meteors.

Today is his seventeenth birthday, and his biggest wish is to buy the small courtyard that he has rented for more than ten years before he is twenty years old.

The reason why the young man has such a dream is very simple, he doesn't want to be wronged after Sister Yun gets married, and he doesn't even have a place to come back.

For the teenager, Sister Yun is the most important person in this world.

If it weren't for the fact that in the cold winter of sixteen years ago, Sister Yun, who was only five years old, passed by the grass and picked up Luo Tian, who was still in swaddling clothes, he might have left this world at the age when he had just opened his eyes to see the world.

Luo Tian worked as a handyman in the Broken Mountain Sect, and endured a lot of hardships, and when he was just able to walk, he had to sort herbs and carry things, and when he was five or six years old and had some strength, he was sent to the mountain, and he had to hand in ten herbs a month before he could continue to live in that small courtyard.

Everyone thinks that Luo Tian will not live long, after all, he has been working since he was so young, and his monthly food money is not enough, how long can he last if he is hungry and full?

Fortunately, with Sister Yun, Luo Tian was like a weed, breaking through the ice ballast all over the ground and thriving.

Deacon Zhao of the outer gate of the Broken Mountain Sect said that he should remember more kindness and less grudges.

Luo Tian didn't care.

He knew that Deacon Zhao was not a good person, but he just wanted to bribe others to do things for him with small favors.

Luo Tian doesn't like the Broken Mountain Sect, everyone here is too impatient, too indifferent, too unpleasant, and the entire Broken Mountain Sect Luo Tian only likes two people, Sister Yun and Wang Fatzi.

Although Wang Fatzi is called this name, he is actually not fat at all, and even because of the perennial coolies, his body is still a little thin, but he said that the rich people he has seen are all white and fat, so he gave himself such a name, and said that when he is rich in the future, he must eat Wang Fatzi, who is worthy of his name.

After listening to this, Luo Tian just replied casually, since you want to be rich, why don't you just call Wang Youqian?

Wang Fatzi suddenly realized, like waking up from a dream, his intestines were repentant, and he muttered about his mistakes, sighed for two or three days and didn't come back to his senses, saying that if he really lived a poor ghost for a lifetime in the future, he would definitely blame himself for not having a good name.

At this moment, Wang Fatzi, who was carrying a basket of freshly dug herbs, ran over from a distance and slapped Luo Tian on the shoulder: "Tian'er, why haven't you gone back when the sun has set?" I see that there are quite a lot of herbs in your place, according to your speed, you can finish work in about four hours." ”

Luo Tian didn't move, just stretched out his finger and pointed to the long cloud mark in the sky.

Wang Fatzi looked at his fingers and said with emotion: "This is Senior Brother Xu of the inner gate, he has reached the seventh order of the first Xuan, and he was given a mysterious weapon by the sect master, and he can fly before he reaches the Lingxuan Realm, which is really enviable." ”

Then he patted Luo Tian's arm and urged: "Come on, let's go quickly, if you delay the time to hand in the herbs, you will be scolded by Deacon Zhao again." ”

Luo Tian nodded, followed the footsteps of Wang Fatzi, and walked on the mountain path of the Broken Mountain Sect, surrounded by strange stones and strange trees, between green mountains and green waters, luxurious buildings in the clouds and mist, as if the tiles were paved with green and white jade, if others saw it, they would definitely sigh again and again, but the two of them were old people in the sect, and they had already seen it.

The Broken Mountain Sect, located in the territory of the Canglan Empire in the north of the vast continent, was once one of the five major sects of the Canglan Empire, even if the entire northern territory was quite famous, but now it is declining, and it has long lost its former glory, and now in the Canglan Empire, it is at most a last-rate sect.

In fact, the Broken Mountain Sect was not originally called by this name, but a thousand years ago, there was a Xuan Xiu who caused a sensation on the entire continent, and forcibly changed the name of the sect to the Broken Mountain Sect, which was rampant and domineering, and broke through 100,000 mountains with his own strength, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while.

It's just that now the vicissitudes of life, things are people, and the ancestor of the Broken Mountain Sect has been missing for more than 600 years, and his life and death are uncertain. If it weren't for the fact that there was no evidence to confirm this person's death, I am afraid that it would have been annexed by other sects long ago, and the current Broken Mountain Sect has fallen into Pingyang, and it is difficult to even open a sect and accept disciples, so it can only rely on the herbal medicine Xuanjing handed over by these miscellaneous servants to barely survive.

"Tian'er, this time I dug up three first-grade herbs on the west side of Dashan, as well as a second-grade dragon pattern grass, and I can exchange some more Xuanjing, and when the time comes, I can save money to buy a big house, marry a bunch of wives, and give birth to ten big fat boys, isn't that more comfortable than Xiu Xuanlai?"

"Tian'er, it's not that I'm talking about you, your temperament should be changed, like a stuffy gourd, you can't let out a fart for a long time, let me tell you, that rich man must be able to speak well, talk about business without giving people a dizziness, how can it be done?"

Luo Tian listened silently all the way, without being impatient or interrupting, and walked to the foot of the Poshan Sect, revealing several rows of flat houses, there were seven or eight teenagers wearing the same coarse linen clothes, sitting outside the house tiredly one by one, and also noticed Luo Tian and the two, but they ignored them.

It wasn't until half a pillar of incense had passed that Luo Tiancai whispered a word.

"Senior Brother Zhang is here. ”

Wang Fatzi's body trembled suddenly, his eyes showed strong fear, and he hurriedly covered his mouth, not daring to make the slightest sound.

On a mountain rock not far away, there was a young man wearing a light white robe, this person had a rough face, a fierce expression, his clothes were obviously more luxurious than Luo Tian and others, his expression was cold, Luo Tian took Wang Fatzi, who was already a little scared, and slowly walked to the rugged man, and saluted respectfully.

"Meet Senior Brother. ”

Seeing that the fat man was still stunned like a wooden chicken, stunned in place, Luo Tian slapped his arm quietly, the latter shook his spirit, came back to his senses, bowed down tremblingly, and said to meet his senior brother.

The rugged man sat down cross-legged and glanced at Luo Tian and Wang Fatzi coldly.

"You two, why did you return to the sect so late? Don't you want to escape halfway and betray your promises!

Wang Fatzi's body trembled even more, and his eyes showed despair, Senior Brother Zhang was notoriously brutal in the sect, if he caught him, how could he take off a layer of skin.

Luo Tian's expression was very calm, and he bowed his body and said in a deep voice: "Back to Senior Brother, in order to be able to contribute more to the sect, the two of us went deep into the 100,000 mountains to collect herbs, and forgot the time, so we missed the time. There is a reason for the incident, and I ask my senior brother to let us go once. ”

As he spoke, Luo Tian took out a white spar from his arms and quietly sent it to the rugged man.

The man quietly accepted it, and paid more attention to Luo Tian, he has been here for many years, I don't know how many chores he has cleaned up, such as Luo Tian in front of him is so calm and sensible, it is really not much, he coughed dryly, and said slowly: "Well, forgive you for the sake of the sect, and make up for the merits, I won't worry about you more." In the future, you must practice diligently, if you can cultivate the Xuan Power and reach the first order of the first order, you can be promoted to an outer disciple, and you don't have to be a miscellaneous servant anymore. ”

Luo Tian saluted again, and then pulled Wang Fatzi to walk up the mountain.

It wasn't until he walked to the mountainside that Wang Fatzi dared to open his mouth, gasped for breath, raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations: "Senior Brother Zhang went to our miscellaneous servant to collect protection money again, I heard that just yesterday, he beat a miscellaneous servant who was half a quarter of an hour late to death, fortunately, you are smart and quick-eyed, otherwise I would have to lie in bed for a few months before I became a rich man......"

Maybe it was really too frightened, Wang Fatzi chatted with Luo Tianxu for a long time, and gradually moved away from the miscellaneous servants, walked on the path of the mountain gate, and walked farther and farther towards the mountainside.

There are three main peaks in the Broken Mountain Sect, and the periphery is surrounded by 100,000 mountains, and there is a miscellaneous place at the foot of each peak, such as where Luo Tian is located, it is the miscellaneous servant office in the northern district, but it can only end up on the mountainside, and then there is a formation to block it, if there is no disciple Yu Jian, you can't go up at all.

Coming to an attic on the mountainside, Luo Tian stopped, knowing that as a handyman, he could no longer go up.

As soon as Luo Tian and the others approached, the attic door opened silently, and a middle-aged man with a thin torso walked out, wearing a dark blue robe, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of the shrewdness of a philistine.

Luo Tian familiarly took out a wooden plaque engraved with the word "miscellaneous", handed it over with the cloth bag, the man reached out and grabbed it, and the thing in Luo Tian's hand flew into this person's hand, and after he glanced at it, he said weakly.

"Luo Tian, fifteen first-grade herbs and three second-grade herbs can be exchanged for twenty-five white Xuanjing, and after deducting the rent of ten first-grade herbs, there are fifteen white Xuanjing. ”

The blue-robed man flicked his right hand, and immediately a black pocket fell into Luo Tian's hand.

Luo Tian put away the wooden cards and pockets, saluted and said, "Thank you, Deacon Zhao." ”

Wang Fatzi followed, handed over the herbal wood card, and after exchanging it for Xuanjing, the two walked to the foot of the mountain.

Wang Fatzi looked around and found that no one was following, so he carefully took out a white spar full of faint mystical power from his pocket, kissed it fiercely, and caressed it lovingly.

If you are seen by outsiders, you will be pointed at as an idiot if you can't prepare it.

Luo Tian and Wang Fatzi lived not far away, and after saying goodbye to him, they walked towards the small courtyard not far away, the courtyard area was not large, and it was stuffed into two wooden houses, and a small warehouse with sundries, and there was no extra place.

Walking to the door, Luo Tianzheng straightened his clothes, pushed the door and stepped in.

"Sister Yun, I'm back. ”

The sound was not loud or small enough for the people in the room to hear.

"Xiaotian is back, go into the house, and you can eat immediately. ”

This is a woman's voice, which is not very pleasant, neither the crisp and agile voice of a girl, nor the charm of a, but it is like a bowl of sour plum soup in the hot summer, or a cup of hot tea in the cold winter, which makes people relax and settle down from the bottom of their hearts.

Luo Tian turned around and closed the courtyard door and slowly walked into the house.

The room is not big, except for a small bed and a table, there are no other items, although it is simple, but it is very clean, Luo Tian put the Xuanjing pocket in his hand on the table, sat cross-legged on the bed, and made a starting gesture.

If Wang Fatzi sees it, he will definitely exclaim.

The Xuan Power fluctuation that Luo Tian possessed at this time had obviously reached the Primal Xuan Realm, and even had the strength of the third or fourth order.

Since he has already cultivated Xuanli, why do he still have to work as coolies in the miscellaneous labor department, instead of choosing to cultivate Xuanli to be promoted to the outer gate?

A quarter of an hour later, a gentle voice came from outside the house.

"Xiaotian, the meal is ready, eat it quickly, otherwise it should be cold. ”

Luo Tian opened his eyes, and the Xuan Power fluctuations on his body instantly returned to nothingness, as if everything that happened before was an illusion, and after getting up and getting out of bed, he walked to the room on the left.

In the middle of the room, there is a woman wearing an apron and laying out dishes and chopsticks.

This is a woman who looks about twenty years old, wearing a pale white long dress, which sets off the already quiet and gentle face more brightly, ruddy lips are bright and dripping, delicate Yao nose is delicate, and a pair of crystal spring water eyes, seductive soul, clear and transparent, Chu Chu is moving.

The woman's smile seems to have some kind of magic, just a slight glance can make people calm down, forget all the tiredness and troubles, and only be comfortable.

The woman turned her head and saw Luo Tian walking into the house, smiled quietly, raised her snow-white wrist, and her jade-like slender jade hand swept through her temples, curling a wisp of green silk to the back of her head, her expression was more relaxed, and she said happily: "Come, please take our big birthday star to take a seat." ”

Luo Tian said helplessly: "Sister Yun, I'm only seventeen years old, how can I become a big birthday star." ”

Xiao Yun walked to Luo Tian's side, stretched out a soft wattle on his forehead and lightly touched it, and said with a straight face: "Today is your birthday, then you are the big birthday star, is what I said wrong? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm wrong, I shouldn't talk back to Sister Yun, I'm the big birthday star today. Luo Tian scratched his head and kept responding.

"Hee ......" Xiao Yun's face suddenly collapsed, and she smiled dotingly, stretched out a pair of snow-white and delicate hands to smooth his upturned collar, "Our Xiaotian is a year older again, and he is about to become a man." It just feels so fast, it seems that you were only so old yesterday, and today you are even taller than your sister Yun......"

Luo Tian lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yun, who was in a trance, and his eyes were rarely a little confused.

He appeared in this world alone, without relatives and no reason, without home and friends, and the only people who are really good to him in this world are Wang Fatzi and Sister Yun in front of him.

When he was young, Xiao Yun was like a piece of kraft candy, wherever he went, Xiao Yun followed him, like a shadow, and he couldn't get rid of it if he wanted to. When Xiao Yun was ten years old, her father went deep into the 100,000 mountains and never came back, Xiao Yun seemed to grow up overnight, she knew that she was in this sect, only Xiao Tian could rely on, so she began to cultivate Xuanli, just to protect her only relative.

Luo Tian really knew how extravagant and precious Xiao Yun's kindness to him was.

He is the light in Luo Tian's life, and he is also the reverse scale that others must never touch.

Luo Tian walked to the table and sat down, and when he saw two bowls of longevity noodles with white gas bubbling on them, one large and one small, and a small and delicate jade slip next to the big bowl, he was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Yun walked up to Luo Tian and said playfully: "This is Sister Yun's birthday gift to you, a Xuanjin Cave Mansion, I don't need it now, you can go and live here." ”

Luo Tian picked up the jade slip, pondered for a long time, and did not speak.

Xiao Yun bit her lower lip lightly, observing the change in Luo Tian's expression, looking a little nervous.

Luo Tian put the jade slip on his chest, looked at Xiao Yun and said softly, "Got it, thank you, Sister Yun." ”

"What does a family say about two families. ”

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and after seeing Luo Tian accept this piece of jade slip, she smiled leisurely, sat opposite Luo Tian, took the small bowl of longevity noodles, and ate it in small bites, with a smile between her eyebrows.

Although Xiao Yun ate very slowly, there were not many noodles in the bowl, so she ate it after a while, she supported her cheeks with her right hand, and looked directly at Luo Tian, who was eating the noodles in the bowl meticulously, and suddenly smiled.

Luo Tian raised his head and looked at the other side with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Yun opened a pair of good-looking big eyes, her lips were slightly raised, and she asked with a smile: "Xiaotian, we've known each other for so long, and I haven't seen you smile much." Why? You're going to look good when you smile. ”

Luo Tian put down the chopsticks in his hand, pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yun and replied seriously: "Cowardice is the cause of anger, and ecstasy is the embodiment of inferiority. Human beings, like any living being, must have some kind of certainty about the future, and my management of my emotions is to give myself a relatively clear certainty. I know what kind of person I am, what I do, and I don't change because of the outside world, and I don't get manipulated by emotions. ”

"It's a gift I gave myself and one of the things I cherish. ”

"Hey......" Xiao Yun sighed, her face full of amazement, "You said that your temperament, if you don't change it, which girl's family dares to marry it?"

"I don't need another girl to marry me. Luo Tian picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few plain white noodles, and the moment before eating the noodles, he said slowly: "Because as long as I have Sister Yun, it is enough." ”
