Chapter 1 The He Brothers

Next Chapter

Qinglong Continent, Wuling Mountains, Kanglong County, Xuzhou, and Dongshi Mountain.

In the late autumn of this year, the weather cooled down quickly. Although it was only the beginning of October, people were already wearing warm clothes. One day, in a large manor at the foot of Dongshi Mountain, the lights were colorful and jubilant. Servants and maids were busy going back and forth in the village. It turns out that today is the only son of He Yundui, the lord of the villa, and He Tianxiao's 100-day joy.

Speaking of He Yundui, it can be called a generation of martial arts celebrities. This person has been extremely intelligent and talented since childhood. Born in a prominent scholarly family in Xuzhou, he was guided by a good teacher since he was a child, he could recite at the age of five, chant at the age of seven, and had a gentle temperament, so he was placed high hopes on his parents.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Yunwan was eight years old, he once fought with the children of the neighbor's official eunuchs and was bullied because of the age gap. After returning home, the adults saw that it was okay, so they did not pursue it, and they were allowed to play with each other. But He Yundui's heart has changed greatly since then, abandoning literature and martial arts, and strengthening his body in the courtyard every day. The family couldn't persuade them, so they simply let them go.

No, this person is also quite talented in the way of martial arts, without the guidance of a good teacher, only relying on daily hard training of the body, it only took two years to practice a brute strength, and the height of ten years has grown to more than seven feet. His parents saw that his martial arts practice was effective, so they spent a lot of money to invite a martial arts master to teach Xiao Yundui carefully.

When He Yunwan was twelve years old, he was already eight feet tall, his body was extremely strong, and his martial arts were also very strong. Unexpectedly, a plague suddenly broke out in the city, and both parents fell ill and died. He Yunwan was a young man, because of his slightly withdrawn personality, so he sold the house in the city, and used the money from the sale to build a magnificent villa at the foot of Dongshi Mountain outside Xuzhou City, and named it after himself. This is now Twilight Villa.

Dongshi Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles from north to south, and is the closest mountain to Xuzhou City in the Wuling Mountains. The Wuling Mountains almost run through the entire Qinglong Continent, and further east is the vast East China Sea. To the north of the continent is an endless ice field, and the further north you go, the colder it becomes, and naturally there are no people. The Wuling Mountains are densely packed with jungles, during which there are countless fierce beasts and bandits. As for the East China Sea, no one has ever seen the whole picture. The deeper you go in the East China Sea, the thicker the fog becomes, and if the ship gets bogged down in the fog, it will lose sight of the light of day and lose its way. As a result, most of the ships that sailed into the fog never returned. In the long run, no one will risk their lives again.

To the west of the Wuling Mountains, there is a large expanse of plains, mostly plains, interspersed with low mountains and hills. Two large rivers originate from the Wuling Mountains, the Lanyue River and the Qinxue River. One south and one north stretches for tens of thousands of miles to the west, flowing into the sea of stars. The Starwind Sea is extremely vast, I don't know its edge, close to the Qinglong Continent, there are countless small islands. But all are desolate and unexplored.

If you want to talk about prosperity, it belongs to the fertile land nurtured by the Lanyue River and the Qinxue River. The Qinglong Continent is divided into seven counties, each of which has dozens of large states, and the villages and towns outside the city are dotted around, and the residents in the city are bustling.

He Yunwan did not settle in the city, but built his own villa under Dongshi Mountain, where there were many bandits and beasts. The beast is still good to say, and the walls of the mountain are strong and thick enough to resist, but the walls are useless against the bandits on the mountain. He Yunwan was only twelve years old that year, and he was a young boy. Many bandits on the mountain saw that the manor was built elegantly, and knew that it must be a wealthy family with a lot of oil and water to be fished, so after the villa was built, they came to rob it in waves.

I didn't want He Yundui to easily kill the bandit leader among dozens of bandits four times with his own strength, which scared those bandits out of their guts, and they never dared to invade Yundui Villa again.

He Yundui became famous because of this. Then, at the age of twenty-five, he married Li Yuru, the daughter of Li Yuanxiao, the largest immortal cultivator sect in Kanglong County, the sect leader of Taiqing Sect. However, due to the early death of his parents when he was young, He Yunwan was a little withdrawn and did not interact with people very much, so he missed the last year of cultivating immortals and building a foundation - eighteen years old. Later, He Yundu's martial arts reached the peak, and he became famous far and wide, becoming a generation of martial arts masters.

Li Yuru originally followed her father to live in the sect, but she had no choice but to have poor roots and had no chance to cultivate immortals. After getting acquainted with He Yundui, he admired his heroism, so he married into the He family. However, He Yundu and Li Yuru had no children after marriage, until thirteen years after marriage, when He Yundu was thirty-eight years old, his wife Li Yuru became pregnant with a child, and three months ago the He family gave birth to a son, named Tianxiao. On the day He Tianxiao was born, He Yunwan sent red stickers and invited celebrities from all walks of life to come and drink 100 days of wine on the 100th day of his son.

"Congratulations to He Daxia for his happy son! I just saw Ling Lang in the inner hall, he is really clear and beautiful, and his appearance is extraordinary, it seems that he will become a great weapon in the future!" a sturdy old man with a gray beard congratulated He Yundui.

He Yunwan smiled and arched his hand: "Mr. Xie Wang Ji Yan." I also invited Elder Wang to the table, and I will not get drunk today. ”

After Elder Wang turned to leave, He Yunwan looked back at his wife behind him, shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a low voice, "Madam...... This person is sophisticated, and I still have such a headache to deal with. If it weren't for the sake of the sky this time...... Alas!"

His wife, Li Yuru, pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Look at your bitter gourd face! I have been in the name of a martial arts master for so many years, and I am still the same as the hairy boy back then...... You don't like to socialize yourself, but you also have to think about it. The son of our martial arts family, if he can't cultivate immortals, then he will inevitably practice martial arts in the future, and this person is indispensable. It was up to you to get married back then, and this time you can't make do anything for our precious son. Okay, husband, the guests are almost here, I'll go and bring Tianxiao out, after all, he is the protagonist of the Hundred Days Wine. With that, Li Yuru turned around and walked into the inner hall.

He Yundui listened to his wife's words, and also laughed self-deprecatingly, and said to himself: "Walking the rivers and lakes, my son Tianxiao, I hope you don't disappoint your father......"

After a while, Li Yuru walked out of the inner hall, and in the big red swaddling clothes in her arms, there was a fat baby like a dough ball, he was He Yundui and Li Yuru's baby son.

He Yunwan took his son from his wife's arms, looked at the child's big black eyes and looked at him curiously, couldn't help but kiss his red little face, and then strode to the table of the eight immortals in the middle of the hall with his son in his arms, and said aloud to the celebrities from all walks of life sitting on both sides of the hall: "Today, everyone comes to participate in the children's 100-day wedding wine, and the Yundui Villa is full of brilliance, I hope you will eat and drink well tonight, and you will not return if you are not drunk!"

Suddenly, there was a large sound of congratulations. After all, most mortals in the world, with the status of He Yundui's generation of martial arts celebrities, who dares not to give three points of face? It is not so much to drink He Tianxiao's 100-day wedding wine, but to slap in with He Yundui.

Among the many guests, there is also He Yundu's father-in-law, Li Yuanxiao. He was the sect master of the Taiqing Sect, the largest immortal cultivation sect in Kanglong County. This time his grandson was 100 days, and he also took time out of his busy schedule to come to eat and drink, firstly, to test how his grandson cultivated the roots and bones of the immortals, and secondly, to take a look at his long-lost daughter and son-in-law.

Speaking of the combination of his daughter and He Yundui back then, Li Yuanxiao can be said to be helpless. It stands to reason that the lifespan of ordinary cultivators is longer than that of mortals, because cultivating immortals is the process of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to transform the body and soul, so the lifespan of immortal cultivators is generally about 14 or 50 years, and the longest can be 160 years. And even a martial arts master like He Yundui is only a little longer than the lifespan of ordinary people of seventy or eighty years, only about ninety years.

Li Yuanxiao has been cultivating immortals for nearly 50 years. More than 30 years ago, he and his wife double-cultivated and gave birth to their daughter Li Yuru. Li Yuru's mother was killed by the enemy shortly after giving birth to her daughter, and later Li Yuanxiao killed his wife and enemy with his hand and brought up his daughter in the sect. It's a pity that Li Yuru has a very poor root and bones and has no chance with cultivating immortals, and then He Yundui, whom her daughter likes, has long passed the latest age of cultivating immortals and building a foundation, so when her daughter married from the Immortal Cultivation Sect to the martial arts family, Li Yuanxiao did not interfere. However, this has always been an insoluble regret in Li Yuanxiao's heart. Last year, he suddenly received a letter from his son-in-law He Yundui saying that Li Yuru was happy, and nine months later, his son-in-law sent a red post to report that Li Yuru had given birth to a son. Li Yuanxiao was overjoyed, and on the first day of his grandson's 100th day, he handed over the affairs of the sect properly, and then immediately flew to the Yundu Villa.

At the beginning of the banquet, He Yunwan hugged his son He Tianxiao, toasted table by table, and chatted politely with the guests. The guests also pinched Tianxiao's chubby little hand and touched his pink little face, this one gave a pearl jade pendant, and that one gave a long-lived golden lock. After a while, He Yundui held a large number of mascot ornaments in his hands.

Finally, He Yundui finished the last table of guests. Seeing this, Li Yuanxiao couldn't wait to pull his son-in-law into the courtyard and looked at He Tianxiao in his arms: "The most important thing for me to come here is to test the bones of my grandson." I haven't been tested yet, and I've always been relieved, where can I eat alcohol? Why don't I ...... early?"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud baby cry suddenly came from outside the wall. He Yundui and Li Yuanxiao were both stunned, because the outside of the wall was clearly a wilderness, where did the baby cry?

He Yundui handed over the swaddling clothes in his arms to his father-in-law, came to the wall and jumped out, easily jumping out of the wall. It was already night, and in the faint moonlight, following the cry, He Yundui saw that there seemed to be a black mass in the grass by the wall. When he got closer, it turned out to be a baby wrapped in rags!

He Yundui picked up the baby and looked around, but there was no one nearby. This is the wilderness below the mountain, and there are hardly any people in the daytime, let alone in the dark night.

He Yundui held the baby in his arms, walked around to the gate of the manor, and walked back to the courtyard from the main gate.

Li Yuanxiao was also stunned when he saw the baby in He Yundui's arms, and asked suspiciously: "Whose baby is this, why are you crying outside the wall?"

He Yunwan shook his head: "I don't know. There was no figure in the barren mountains and mountains outside the walls, and I feared that he would be injured by wild beasts, so I took him back. Just on the road, it was a baby boy. Father-in-law, what do you think of this?"

Li Yuanxiao frowned, and then twisted his beard and laughed: "Haha, Yun Dusk, this is God's favor, I think you have been childless for many years, and I will send you two at this time! I think this child is destined for you, anyway, Tianxiao is lonely, why don't you let them grow up together and be brothers, isn't it great?"

After hearing this, He Yunwan also smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement: "Father-in-law's method is very good. Yuru and I have both entered middle age, and after a few years, we will leave, and with this child and Tianxiao, it will be ......" Saying, He Yundu suddenly exclaimed: "The light on the road is weak, and I haven't seen it clearly." There is also a white scarf in this swaddling cloth, which reads 'Ugly time on June 26, 507 of the Qinglong calendar', which must be the baby's birthday. It's a coincidence, it's only an hour older than Tianxiao. ”

Li Yuanxiao thought for a moment, and then proposed: "The two children are so close to each other, like twin brothers, this son really has a relationship with your family." In this case, why don't you give the name of 'Tianxiao' to this son, and the grandson will be renamed 'Tianyao' by the old man?"

He Yunwan was very satisfied: "This name is very good. The sky is free, the sky is far away. Haha, He Tianxiao, He Tianyao!" Afraid that the baby would freeze, He Yunwan entered the house and threw away the rags wrapped in the baby, and wrapped the baby in the new swaddling clothes.

He Tianxiao, who is in blue swaddling clothes, has a slightly darker complexion than He Tianyao, and he also has a pair of big black eyes, and his delicacy is no less than He Tianyao. The more He Yunwan looked at it, the more he liked it, and said to Li Yuanxiao: "Father-in-law, please also test Tianxiao's root bones in a while." ”

Li Yuanxiao smiled: "Of course. The old man will start from Tianyao now. ”

The so-called examination of the root bone is actually to infuse a little spiritual power into the baby's body to see how wide its dantian and meridians are. Ordinary immortal cultivators have a poor level of spiritual control, so it is not appropriate to test the root bones of the baby, because it is very likely that the slightest negligence will break the baby's fragile meridians, but for immortal cultivators like Li Yuanxiao, testing the baby's root bone is really a piece of cake.

Li Yuanxiao carefully controlled the spiritual power in his body to gather in the palm of his hand, and poured it into the navel of the little baby to test the dantian and meridians in his body. While testing, he showed a surprised expression, withdrew his spiritual power, and laughed: "The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes! I didn't expect Yuru to be so bad, but I gave birth to such a grandson with wonderful bones to my Li family, hahaha!"

When He Yundui heard this, he was also overjoyed: "Father-in-law, how good are his roots and bones in Tianyao?"

Li Yuanxiao rewrapped the baby's swaddling clothes, touched his beard and said, "It's so good that it surpasses the most talented disciple of my Taiqing Sect in recent decades." That disciple is the grandson of my friend, and I also tested him when he was a baby, and his dantian is not as spacious as Yao'er's, and the meridians are also thinner! I dare to assert that as long as a good student is cultivated, Tianyao's future achievements will be limitless, haha!"

"Daddy, husband, what are you laughing at here? Li Yuru heard her father's laughter and walked over, in fact, she had already roughly guessed it in her heart.

He Yundui said, "Madam." There are two great happy events. First, my son's roots and bones are wonderful, and he will become a great weapon in the future; second, I have just found our other son outside the courtyard wall! My father-in-law has changed my son's name to Tianyao, and has given the name of 'Tianxiao' to this son. ”

Li Yuru was overjoyed and surprised: "Tianyao, well, this name is not bad." It's really good, Tianyao can cultivate immortals......! Husband, you mean, you picked up this baby from outside?"

He Yundui said: "This son is related to my He family, since I don't know who my parents are, then include him in my He family, we will bring him up with Tianyao, regard him as our own, and we will be with Tianyao in the future." ”

Li Yuru happily took the blue swaddling clothes in He Yundu's arms, looked at the white scarf in the swaddling clothes, and then looked at the baby's cute little face, and muttered: "Tianxiao, Tianxiao, just one hour older than my son Tianyao, from now on, you will be Tianyao's brother!"

Li Yuanxiao handed He Tianyao over to He Yundui and said to his daughter: "Yuru, quickly give me Tianxiao, let me also test his bones!"

Li Yuanxiao took the baby from Li Yuru, opened the swaddling clothes, and put the palm of his hand on the baby's abdomen again. After inputting the spiritual power, Li Yuanxiao's eyes widened suddenly, and after carefully controlling the spiritual power to swim around the baby's body, he withdrew his palm, and said in surprise before he had time to wrap the swaddling clothes: "This sub-root bone is on par with Tianyao, this is also too ......" Li Yuanxiao was so surprised that he didn't finish his words. He hurriedly rewrapped the swaddling clothes, looked at his daughter and son-in-law who were also very surprised next to him, and said solemnly: "Cultivating immortals has quite high requirements for root bones, so my sect must have excellent roots and bones to accept disciples. Eleven years ago, when I examined my friend's grandson, I thought that his qualifications were rare for decades, and I didn't want to be better than today's Tianyao and Tianxiao. Over time, as long as they are carefully cultivated, Tianyao and Tianxiao will definitely become geniuses. You should take good care of them, and don't forget to let them exercise from the age of five, which will be good for the foundation in the future. When they are twelve years old, I will come and bring them into the sect, how about I?"

He Yundui and Li Yuru both responded: "It's all up to my father-in-law (father-in-law) to arrange." ”

......

Time flies, and it is the late autumn of the year. In a garden at the foot of Dongshi Mountain, two delicate children are laughing and chasing. A woman followed behind with a smile and shouted, "Xiao'er, Yao'er, be careful not to fall under your feet!"

These two children are He Tianxiao and He Tianyao in infancy. They are all five years old now. Because their bodies were too soft to strengthen their bodies when they were young, they were not suitable for physical training, so He Yunwan and his wife only taught them to recognize knowledge words on weekdays. He Tianxiao and He Tianyao are really smart, and they are both unforgettable. It's just that He Tianxiao is a little more naughty, and He Tianyao is relatively quiet.

According to He Yundui's words, it was a tiger father without a dog. Whenever the husband and wife talk about this pair of precious sons in private, He Yunwan will be extremely proud: "I think back then, my He Yundui's literary style was also famous. These two sons are with me, and they will be as civil and military as me in the future, haha!" For the first time, Li Yuru also laughed at him: "Yao'er is like you, but what about Xiao'er? He is not your own child, are you still so proud?" He Yunwan was so happy that he ignored that set at all: "Xiao'er is also my son, what's wrong if it's not my own child? It's not my own child, it's better than my own child." Anyway, they are all my sons of He Yundui, and I am happy that they are smart. Li Yuru smiled and shook her head, and then let He Yundui be proud.

On this day, the autumn is high and cool, which makes people feel particularly comfortable. He Yunwan called He Tianxiao and He Tianyao to the courtyard, and said to them with a smile: "Xiao'er, Yao'er, from today onwards, you can't always play." I want to exercise with my father and prepare for the future cultivation of immortals, understand?"

Tianxiao tilted his head: "Exercise...... Isn't it fun? Brother Yao is in Zhuangzi every day, and he has been shopping all over the village for a long time, and he is bored to death. Daddy, can we go outside Zhuangzi to play?"

Although Tianyao didn't speak, he also looked at his father expectantly.

He Yundui looked at He Tianxiao and said with a smile: "Xiao'er, do you know how dangerous it is on the mountains outside? There are tigers, wolves, bad people, maybe there are mountain ghosts, witches, aren't you afraid?" Almost all adults in the world are the same, and scaring children is inseparable from mountain ghosts, witches and the like.

He Tianxiao pursed his lips: "I'm not afraid." The book doesn't say what the mountain ghosts, witches or anything look like, it's all my father deliberately scaring people. I haven't seen tigers, wolves, or other beasts, even if they exist, and maybe there aren't any in the vicinity, they were all made up by my father. ”

He Yunwan smiled and shook his head: "Daddy won't let you go out to play, that means it's really dangerous." Well, if you want to go out and play, you need to exercise with your dad first. When you're done, Daddy will agree to let you go out and play, how about it?"

Tianxiao, Tianyao glanced at each other, and replied in unison: "Okay!"
