Chapter 1: Chen Qingniu

Next Chapter

Niu Wa is the evil star of the village, when his mother gave birth to him, it caused heavy bleeding, and before he could explain, he died.

Without a mother, Niu Wa still survived tenaciously. But his father doesn't know if it's because he can't accept the reality of his wife's death, he is a little mentally disturbed on weekdays, and often talks nonsense, but he only seems to be very sober when taking care of his children.

Niu Wa grew up eating the milk of his own big yellow cow when he was a child, which is also the origin of his Niu Wa's nickname, and the villagers don't know his name, so everyone just keeps calling Niu Wa.

His father was one of the best carpenters in the village, and he was recommended by anyone in the village who wanted carpentry work. However, because of his indirect mental disorder, he inadvertently had several disputes with the villagers, and later the villagers became independent of him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Until Niu Wa was fifteen years old, his father died, and on a night of lightning and thunder, he jumped into the river.

No one knows why such a man who usually doesn't know the bottom can be willing to ignore the teenage children in his family and plunge into the river, and he can't even find the body afterwards.

Later, the village began to intentionally or unintentionally spread that Niu Wa was a lonely star, and they all warned their children behind their backs not to have a relationship with Niu Wa, otherwise it would be a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots when they went home. Even the villagers who used to be very good to Niu Wa on weekdays didn't know when they started to treat them coldly, for fear of getting into trouble.

When autumn came, the sixteen-year-old cow girl pulled up her trousers and stood in the field with a sickle to harvest the wheat. Although he was only a young child, his face was already resolute. With skillful skills, he quickly finished harvesting his own wheat.

He sat on the edge of the field and looked at the busy figures of the villagers in the distance.

After resting for a while, Niu Wa beckoned the big yellow ox to come over, and the wheat in the field had been tied up by him with rattan bundles. The big yellow cow got up from the water slowly, raised his head and walked slowly towards him.

The big ox has been in his house for as long as he can remember, and the villagers said that the cow had been there when his parents had fled to the place.

Niu Wa quickly put all the wheat on the back of the big scalper, he touched the head of the big scalper, and said with a smile: "Big scalper, now you are the only one who accompanies me every day, my father is no longer there, although I seem to be used to it now, but in fact, sometimes I seem to have a very strange feeling in my heart......"

He patted the scalper on the back again.

The big scalper screamed, as if in response to him.

Niu Wama carried the remaining three sheaves of wheat on her back.

He may have walked too fast, and did not notice that the big scalper had not moved, and was still in place. However, he always habitually turned his head, and found that the big yellow ox was looking at him in the same place, pointed to the deep mountains in the distance, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, if we go slowly and reach the evening, we will be filled with the beasts coming down the mountain." ”

The ox looked at the cow baby who was bent over by the wheat in the distance, and ran towards the boy with a "moo" cry. It is also strange to say that the bundle of wheat on the back of a big scalper cow that was not very strong when it ran did not fall.

After his father died, he did not leave him anything of value, only a tattered house made of grass and mud, which looked dilapidated, and the only thing that could be worth it was probably the ox.

At first, when it rained, the house would leak badly, but then Niu Wa persuaded the village chief to go up the mountain with the villagers to hunt and pick a lot of banana leaves, which could be mixed with mud and paste on the roof, so that it would not leak. It is also strange to say that although most of the villagers respect Chen Qingniu, there is still a little human touch in it, and everyone will always see if he is in the crowd when he goes down the mountain.

In a few days, when the immortals came to the village to select apprentices, the villagers began to carefully "dress" their children, and no matter how they spoke, they had to let the immortals take a few more looks.

The immortals are monks on the mountain.

A few days ago, when Niu Wa followed the village chief and them up the mountain, they were attacked by a group of demon beasts, and thanks to the rescue of several immortals passing by in the sky, they were spared. And later, the immortal who was the leader had a very happy conversation with the village head, so he smiled and said that he would come here in half a year to select disciples for the sect, so that the children in this village could have a future and a way out.

After the news was transmitted back to the village, the villagers were like ants on a hot pot, they couldn't sit still, those who had children were okay to say, and those who didn't have children were a little disappointed that their mother-in-law didn't give birth to a big fat boy, but they were ridiculed by their own mother-in-law for their inability, and the big and strong young man couldn't help but blush, and he exerted a little more strength when he worked hard at night.

Who doesn't want their children to be able to become immortals on the mountain one day, after the villagers who witnessed the group of immortals returned to the village that day, they would talk about how majestic the immortals were, just a little glance at the demon beast and scared the monster to run away with its tail between its legs.

Niu Wa, who has always been unsociable and has little interest in anything, became interested in the immortal for some reason, and sneaked to the old village chief's house at night, and asked the immortal if there were any rules for accepting apprentices, which made the old village chief a little surprised. And it is strange to say that on weekdays, the people in the village respect him, but only the village chief will say a few words for him, which is why he secretly carries a hoe to the old village chief's field at night when he is busy with farming. Although Niu Wa is only a sixteen-year-old child, she is already very mature in nature.

That day, Niu Wa, like other children, raised her head with wide eyes and looked curiously at the group of immortal monks flying with the sword. Later, on the way back to the village, the old village chief told Niu Wa, who was walking behind the buttocks of the crowd, what kind of people were they.

When the cow came home, he put the wheat into his own hut made of mud and grass. He lit the oil lamp in his house, and looked at the flames the size of a spark, his eyes filled with sorrow.

He turned his head and looked at the stars outside the window, a meteor suddenly flashed in the starry sky, and Niu Wa quickly folded his hands and made a wish in his heart. Because he heard that after seeing a meteor, the wish he made was particularly effective, and it is said that the meteor falling from the sky was the next life of the immortals, and if you sincerely made a wish at that moment, it would be very effective.

The big scalper looked at the cow baby outside the window, and his brows were as spiritual as a human being. If a monk saw this scene here, he would inevitably think that this ox was a powerful goblin.

Niu Wa lay down on the straw mat early after eating, and his daily routine was very regular, getting up at dawn and sleeping in the dark. Because he didn't have anything to do, and his own field didn't have a few acres, every day he went to the field to remove insects and weeds, that is, to fish in the streams and rivers, and sometimes he would light an oil lamp to catch field chickens in the field at night.

And just as he fell asleep, the scalper who usually accompanied him turned into a woman outside the window, and all this happened by a very coincidental coincidence, just as he was sleeping. The woman was wearing a long yellow skirt with two small horns on her head, and she really looked like a scalper when you looked closely. The woman quietly walked into the house, as if she was very in control of her footsteps, and there was no sound of footsteps. She cautiously walked to the bed, stared at Niu Wa carefully, pondered for a while and muttered: "You and I are destined, since you want to be a monk on the mountain, I will help you all over." ”

Because Niu Wa often works in the field, her skin is a little tanned by the sun, and her palms are covered with a thick layer of calluses, but the same as children of the same age is the face that looks a little childish.

The woman put her hand on Niu Wa's forehead, and a green aura slowly appeared from her palm, she controlled the aura to be transmitted into Chen Qingniu's body, she didn't directly help the young man in front of her directly step into the monk's avenue that mortals dreamed of, she felt that it was not good. At the same time as the green aura was instilled, her figure began to fade gradually, and she finally just smiled: "Although I found you, it seems that you are not you yet, right?"

After a while, only the cow baby lying on the bed was left in the room, and the woman had disappeared without a trace after being instilled with aura. It doesn't seem to leave anything for the cow baby.

The rope that used to tie the ox outside the window is now just a rope.

Niu Wa slept very peacefully this night, and he had a dream.

In the dream, a very beautiful woman asked him if he really wanted to be an immortal, and Niu Wa smiled shyly and replied without hesitation. The woman pulled out a green aura from herself and poured out of Niu Wa's body, and she told Niu Wa not to tell anyone about it.

Finally, she smiled and said "goodbye", and disappeared without a trace.

The awakened Niu Wa had a feeling of loss in her heart, rubbed her eyes, yawned and greeted, "Big Scalper, guess what, I dreamed last night that you became a beautiful fairy sister." ”

There was no sound to answer him, he was a little panicked, he was a little surprised to get up every morning with a "moo" call, worried that the ox was bitten by the demon beast that came down the mountain at night, and hurriedly ran out of the house barefoot without putting on the straw sandals, looking at the hay where the big ox slept every day, he was a little flustered. For the big scalper who has always accompanied him, Niu Wa is like treating it as his own relative, and this emotion is even stronger after his father's death.

The little boy who cried when he learned of his father's death, a year later, the only big scalper who accompanied him as a family member also quietly left. He cried hysterically, as if he couldn't stop the tears, and he regretted a little what he had said in the dream, which he thought was just a dream. He roared loudly, "Sister Scalper, I don't want to be a monk and immortal, you come back, okay?"

Niu Wa didn't know how he was lying on the bed in the village chief's house, he only remembered that when he was crying sadly, his eyes were dark, as if he had fainted. touched the dry tear stains in the corners of her eyes, and Niu Wa was a little lonely.

At this time, the village chief's family is cooking, and the washed rice and dried meat are put into the bamboo tube at the same time, and the rice is steamed for a while, and the rice is full of fragrance.

Niu Wa, who woke up, got up and got out of bed and walked to the village chief, but he didn't speak. And they sat down by the fire together.

In the end, it was the village chief who spoke, and he said to Niu Wa while smoking a dry cigarette: "What's wrong with you, kid? ”

The village chief touched Niu Wa's head with his hand, and Niu Wa silently added a few pieces of new firewood to the firewood, seeing that he did not speak.

The old village chief said again: "Although your parents are gone, you still have to take good care of yourself, you are still young, don't be too sad." People, why don't they all have to die, but it's just who comes first. ”

Niu Wa said something that surprised the old village chief.

"I must become an immortal!"

The lost can't be recovered, so cherish the present, Niu Wa has always been such a person, since Sister Ox also helped herself and said that she must have no problem being that immortal, then he has no reason to give it a try.

The old village chief smiled kindly, picked up the bamboo tube that had been almost steamed and handed it to Niu Wa, and said, "You can have such confidence, and I also believe that you can be a god." ”

On the second day, Niu Wa held a board made of bamboo at home and hit the wheat on the ground, just enough force to separate the wheat. Before noon, Niu Wa finished his work, and he put away all the wheat stalks, tied them with rattans, and put them in the house where he usually kept his farm tools.

The weather was very hot, and Niu Wa had no intention of having lunch, so she dug up a few small sweet potatoes from her backyard. White potatoes are the same as sweet potatoes but the taste is very different, white potatoes can be eaten directly after washing after removing the skin, there is no relatively hard taste like sweet potatoes, and it is very thirst-quenching.

"Niu Wa, Niu Wa, today is the day when the immortals come to the village to choose disciples, why don't you go?" the old village chief shouted to Niu Wa from a distance.

The old village chief's house is at the head of the village, but Niu Wa's house is in the ass of the village, and few people choose to build a house here, I heard that what feng shui is not good.

Niu Wa looked up and saw that it was the old village chief who was coming, and a few white potatoes that had just been dialed were hurriedly placed on the wooden table, and ran over to support him.

"Grandpa Zhang, are they gone now?"

The old village chief sat down on a chair made of wooden piers with his support, and Niu Wa hurriedly asked.

The old village chief smiled, stretched out his hand to take the sweet potato that Niu Wa had dialed, and said with a smile: "Not yet, no, I specially came to ask you to hurry over, but now there are already seven or eight people selected." ”

Niu Wa couldn't help but be surprised, but she didn't expect that most of the children of the same age in the village would be selected. But he wanted to speak again, he was still a child after all, and he still muttered a little in his heart, afraid that he would not be chosen.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be chosen. The old village chief touched Niu Wa's head, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, now that he can still touch his head, in a few years, I'm afraid he won't be able to reach it.

Finally, Niu Wa helped the old village chief to the ancestral hall in the village.

At this time, the ancestral hall was already full of people, and today no one in the village went to work in the fields or go out to hunt, so they specially waited for the immortals here.

At this time, eleven or two people had already been selected to be qualified, and the other seven or eight people had become miscellaneous disciples under the bitter pleas of the villagers. Although those seven or eight people do not have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, it is also a way out to be able to work under the hands of immortals.
