Chapter 4: First Hearing Practice
Shen Qi's Anran Village is in a remote area, there is a peculiar phenomenon within a radius of millions of miles, its nights are often much longer than other places, and it is called "the place of the sunset" by outsiders, and because this place is close to the forbidden area, no one wants to live here for a long time, and over time, there are only a few small villages like Anran Village that have no ability to migrate.
Perhaps because of the proximity to the forbidden area, in addition to the local villagers, there are few outsiders in Anran Village, and the villagers do not care, although the life of male farmers and women weaving is ordinary but also happy, only the young children listen to the older generation talk about the life of working outside, and they can't hide their longing, Coco Li is one of them.
Another year later, there were guests in the village to visit, this is Uncle Yang from the nearby Lonely Village, he was entrusted by the head of the Lonely Village, to bring a good news to An Ran Village, Shen Qi clearly remembered, when he watched the bearded uncle carry the wolf king who had not been hunted for a long time in front of everyone, this was the first time that the old people in the village threw out the concept of "cultivation" to their group of children.
After Uncle Yang left in Shanluo Village, Shen Qi realized in the words of the village chief's grandfather that most of the stories told by the elders to Shen Qi and other juniors when they were children really happened to themselves, and most of them had enemies outside, but they couldn't make an inch of cultivation by themselves, so they had no choice but to find this remote village and live this life, and some villagers chose to escape the world because they were tired of fighting and killing in the world.
The village chief mentioned that the highest cultivation among these people is the second master of the village who strikes iron, more than 30 years ago, when the second master of Wang had not joined Anran Village, the realm is to reach the Yuan realm that the world is in awe, and now no one knows how high the realm is.
The village chief said that he was an old man who had never cultivated, but he had also heard of the horror of the Yuan Realm, and every Yuan Realm cultivator was a big man who could stir up the storm in the outside world, even if it was the Qingshan Sect not far away, there was no such person.
As for the Qingshan Sect, the village chief said, "The entire radius of 100,000 li is its territory, which includes the two villages of An Ran and Shan Luo, if you don't count your second master, it is the absolute control of this territory." "As one of the people who went to Anran Village to escape the world, not many people knew about it, and since it was a retreat, it was natural that the distribution of power in this place would not be easily changed.
After hesitating again and again, the village chief still told Shen Qi that if he wanted to ask about cultivation, he could ask Second Master Wang, and as for whether Second Master Wang was willing to say it, it was not something that outsiders could influence.
Looking at the huge wolf king still placed in front of him, although he died, but its long gray hair made its momentum undiminished, it is completely conceivable that the majesty of this wolf king before his death, but the wolf king who was so majestic was beaten to death by the uncle from Shanluo Village, for children, such things undoubtedly ignited his desire to practice.
Shen Qi, who was full of curiosity about all this, naturally couldn't bear it, and ran to the second master's house at the head of the village that afternoon, the village occupied a small area, and it didn't take long for Shen Qi to see a blacksmith shop standing not far away.
A tall flag danced in the wind, and the word "king" on it was very eye-catching.
Shen Qi got closer and closer, and a scene gradually occupied his field of vision.
"Bang ~ bang" rhythmic sound of striking iron, there is no imaginary noise, with a huge hammer striking down, a piece of iron that was originally burned red, almost transparent splashed a large number of sparks, the shape of the iron kept changing. As if sensing someone approaching, the hammer became faster and faster under the urging of a large hand, and the iron became thinner and thinner, and gradually began to become regular......
"Oh?" The blacksmith who had already finished his work looked at the little kid in front of him who had not yet come back to his senses, and couldn't help but have some differences, "Do you understand something, your understanding is good", the blacksmith muttered to himself, he moistened the cotton cloth prepared in advance with water and wiped it on his face, and then a rough face appeared in front of him, and the traces of a few wrinkles faintly outlined at the corners of his eyebrows were particularly obvious, this is the second master Wang in the mouth of the village chief, although he is over eighty years old, but his advanced cultivation has allowed him to maintain his middle-aged appearance.
After a while, Shen Qi finally came back to his senses from the scene just now, "Grandpa Wang, you swung the hammer so fast just now, I looked at you like you were dancing"
"Do you see what's so nice about the hammer wielded by grandpa that little naughty little naughty one?" Second Master Wang raised Shen Qi above his head with thick arms, and said with a smile, "By the way, the little naughty has a name, Shen Qi, you are not allowed to make trouble when you come to me."
"Grandpa, I feel that the hammer you wield is faster than a hammer, but the force used is lighter than a hammer, so just now I saw you hammer faster and faster, but it is more and more like dancing, don't worry, grandpa, I don't make trouble, the little naughty has a name and has stopped making trouble" Shen Qi's eyelashes blinked and blinked, as if he thought of something, he quickly ran into the house, and after a while, he walked in front of Wang Erye with a cup of tea, "Grandpa, please use tea!"
"Hey, Shen Qi is indeed different from before, good, really sensible" Hearing this, Shen Qi instantly made a big red face, and he hesitated, "It's not, I... I used to too... It's also very sensible."
As if thinking of something beautiful, Second Master Wang stretched out his bony palm and gently pinched Shen Qi's little face, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, Shen Qi is very well-behaved, why did you think of coming to see me today, say, what is my idea of beating your grandfather?"
Second Master Wang is an old man, how could he not see Shen Qi's half-grown thoughts after coming back to his senses, his tone changed, "Of course, if you really come to visit the old man, I will also be very happy."
Shen Qi blinked vigorously and didn't continue to play sloppy, "Grandpa, I heard the village chief grandpa say that you are the most powerful person in the village, and you are also a master of the Yuan Realm, can you tell me how to practice, I will also become a master like grandpa and you in the future, and protect the relatives in the village" Shen Qi's words were earnest, and his tone of tone was particularly impressive.
"Oh, although Shen Qi is young, he is ambitious, Grandpa is very satisfied, but Grandpa doesn't want you to embark on this path of cultivation" Second Master Wang obviously didn't expect Shen Qi to say such a call, but he also answered him as soon as possible.
Looking at Shen Qi's puzzled look, Second Master Wang didn't coax him as usual this time, only to see Second Master Wang's expression becoming more and more solemn, he continued,
"Child, cultivation is not as simple as you imagined, every step of cultivation is extremely difficult, and the cultivators struggle with the heavens and all things to survive, and the danger in this is not at all what I can describe for you. ”
"Child, from the time you appeared in the village, I could already see that you have excellent roots and bones, and you are a good seedling for cultivation, but the path of cultivation is not something that can be easily followed by some innate advantages. ”
"Child, think about it, you have to know that even if you don't practice for the rest of your life, it's not a big deal, grandpa can always cover you"
Shen Qi was obviously a little touched when he heard Second Master Wang's words, his thoughts kept flying, and one thought after another flashed through his heart,
"Grandpa, I still want to try! Shen Qi wants to be a cultivator, Shen Qi doesn't want to stay under the protection of his grandfather all the time, just like my grandfather told me when he was a child, young eagles will not grow up in the shadow of their ancestors forever. ”
"Grandpa, just tell me about cultivation, Shen Qi will protect you in the future", Shen Qi's childish face was particularly inconsistent under these words, a little childish, but it had a different flavor.
Second Master Wang didn't give Shen Qi's reply at the first time, his eyes gradually became deeper, "Shen Qi, I'll give you another night to think about it, if you still insist tomorrow, come to me again" Shen Qi happily agreed.
......
Shen Qi was looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow, and trotted all the way back to Aunt Xue's house, and after eating, he fell asleep very happily.
