Chapter 2: Leaving the Village
Niu Wa was the last child to reach the ancestral hall.
At this time, the immortal had already walked most of the way, probably finding the child specially explained by his master, and with a wave of his hand, the child who was still at a loss with his sleeves rolled up and hurriedly flew away.
Those parents who watched their children being taken away by the immortals without exception secretly held silk cloths and held the tears in the corners of their eyes, trying not to let their children see themselves like this. After all, it was a piece of meat that fell from his body, and who was really willing to do it? Most of them were happy for their children without exception when they thought that their children would be like these immortals today.
When Niu Wa came, the people were almost gone, and only two men in blue robes and swords at their waists were left waiting for the old village chief. There are also the children who were selected as miscellaneous disciples.
For some reason, when the old village chief saw the two immortals, his originally somewhat bent waist silently straightened up, and he didn't let Niu Wa continue to support himself, and his old body quietly straightened. He was in a trance, as if he had returned to the old days.
With a hint of a smile, he walked towards the two immortals.
"Two, I've kept you waiting. Here's the kid I talked about. ”
"And the kids?"
The old village chief pointed to the cow baby standing at the door of the ancestral hall, and the two immortals turned their heads to look at the cow baby standing at the door of the ancestral hall.
It is not a so-called good fate for them to come here to recruit disciples this time, the elder Lu of his own sect and the person in front of him used to have a brotherly relationship, probably because the two of them had practiced under a master in the past, so there is this saying of "recruiting disciples".
Niu Wa was a little nervous when she saw the two of them looking at her, and remembered what the old village chief had told him on the road just now.
He hurried over, just about to kneel. Unexpectedly, the cold-looking young man on the left stretched out his hand to stop him, and he looked up at the young man, his face was puzzled, and he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart.
Like secular people, they all need to kneel down and worship the prince of heaven and earth.
"You don't have to kneel, our Guiyuan Sect is not like the Jianghu Sect. ”
The cold young man looked at Niu Wa with a hint of a smile, and in a moment, he had already used the spirit detector given to him by the sect to detect the spirit root of the young man in front of him, the five elements single earth spirit root. Although it ranks last among the five elements. But at worst, he is also a person who can cultivate, and the worst thing is that his cultivation speed is slow, but he is also much stronger than those miscellaneous disciples who don't have spiritual roots.
Unexpectedly, at this time, one of the miscellaneous disciples spoke up: "Immortal Elder, this person is the Heavenly Demon Lone Star, and he killed his father and mother!"
As soon as these words came out, the young immortal elder frowned and looked at the child, with a hint of displeasure, and said with a cold face: "The so-called Heavenly Evil Lone Star is just the imagination of you mortals, you must remember it carefully, and you must not say this nonsense again." Now that you are about to set foot in the sect, although you are just a miscellaneous disciple, as long as you perform well in the sect, it is not without a chance of promotion in the future. ”
Several of the children nodded excitedly, but did not speak.
Niu Wa bowed his head and fell silent when he heard the man's words, he didn't know what the Heavenly Evil Lone Star meant. Until half a year ago, an old Taoist priest came to the village.
At that time, it was still winter, there was a lot of snow in the mountains, there were often avalanches, and there were monsters in the mountains, it was not easy for an old Taoist priest to cross the mountains and mountains.
The old Taoist priest who claimed to be from Longhu Mountain was wearing a tattered cyan Taoist robe, and he looked very miserable. The old Taoist priest opened his mouth and asked the villagers to drink wine and eat meat, but one yard is one yard, and the old Taoist priest said that after eating, he would calculate the things they wanted to know in their hearts, which was also polite.
When the villagers were thinking about how to make their children get the favor of the immortals, there was an old Taoist priest who claimed to be a fortune teller, which made the villagers very happy, and under the flickering of the old Taoist priest, he hurriedly prepared good wine and meat at home and planned to entertain him at the same time.
At that time, Niu Wa didn't have anything to do at home, so he pulled a lot of cabbage from the ground, and stewed it in an iron pot with the jerky that he was reluctant to eat, and the meat was full of fragrance. However, the old Taoist priest came to his house on the last day, and the old Taoist priest had already eaten several full burps in a row, and the cow baby was already waiting for a hungry stomach gurgling.
Seeing that he had been waiting for him stupidly, the old Taoist priest picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Silly little baby, it's important to eat, you eat first and ask me." ”
Niu Wa saw that the old Taoist priest had come to the house, so she tore open her belly and ate bowl after bowl.
"Old Taoist, do you know what the Heavenly Evil Lone Star is?"
Niu Wa asked casually during the meal, he didn't know what this meant. Every time he walked through the village road, someone would shout from afar, "The Heavenly Evil Lone Star is coming." "There will also be children of the same age who will take pebbles and hit him in the back.
The old Taoist priest burped again, drunkenly let Niu Wa stretch out his hand, and when he saw Niu Wa's palm, he couldn't help frowning, and murmured: "There is a mole in the palm of the palm, and it is still in the center......
"What's your name?" the old Taoist priest put down his hand and looked at him again, at this time the smell of wine in his body disappeared completely, and he said with a straight face.
Niu Wa was a little puzzled by the old Taoist priest's actions, but she still said calmly: "I only know that my surname is Chen, and my father didn't give me a name." Because it was a scalper at home who accompanied me later, I named myself Chen Niu. ”
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he waved his sleeves and sat cross-legged by the fire. Press the palm of your left hand on the lower dantian, and press the palm of your right hand on the back of your left hand, and start to calculate in your heart with a Taoist technique.
It didn't take long for the old Taoist priest to open his eyes and say: "Although the Heavenly Evil Lone Star is a great omen, it will not affect you, but it will have a fierce effect on the relatives around you, and your parents must have been killed by you." ”
Chen Niu couldn't accept it, and looked at the old Taoist priest in a daze. He didn't expect that he had hurt his parents, and he finally understood why the villagers usually treated him like that, and his mind was blank at the moment.
The old Taoist priest then said, "When I climbed the mountain a few days ago, I found that there was a problem here, and I thought it was the extremely ferocious demon beast here, but I didn't expect it to be your baby." Well, listen, I'm going to help you once today, and if you meet me in the future, I'll help you get rid of it completely. Everything I do needs fate, don't complain that I don't help you solve it. ”
Let's talk about it. The old Taoist priest pinched the trick with both hands, and the momentum was magnificent, and he pointed at Chen Niu's forehead with that finger very hard.
"I can help you suppress this fortune for a maximum of twenty years. ”
"From now on, your name is Chen Qingniu. ”
"In half a year, someone will come here to recruit disciples, and it is an opportunity you can't miss to get rid of this fate......
"Then the gourd will be given to you......"
"Goodbye, I love to help others the most, and I slipped away. ”
I don't know what the old village chief said to those two, Chen Qingniu easily became the middle-aged man's junior brother. The children who were accepted as miscellaneous disciples were a little dumbfounded, but they didn't expect that the cow baby, who they called the Heavenly Evil Lone Star on weekdays, would end up with such an opportunity, and they couldn't help but feel jealous in their hearts.
It was the first time for Chen Qingnian to leave the village, and he felt a little sad and uneasy in his heart. He didn't have time to go home to tell his parents the news at the grave of his parents, because the two immortals wanted to return to the sect in a hurry, and now that the sect had started the selection of disciples, they had to hurry back to the sect to try their luck to see if they could compete for a chance to break through to the foundation building period.
Chen Qingniu didn't say anything if he didn't get his wish, but he felt a little regretful in his heart, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back. He didn't have anything of value at home, so he simply gave it all to the old village chief when he left.
The children also failed to do so, they thought they would be flying with Edgeworth like those children in the ancestral hall, but they turned out to be riding in a carriage, and the bumps along the way shook these children who had never been far away, and they were warned by the middle-aged man to be called and thrown back.
The middle-aged man's name is Long Yue, who has cultivated qi at the tenth level, and is the second disciple of Elder Sun. And that young man's name is Zhang Yuan, who is also a tenth-level Qi cultivator, and is a disciple of Elder Lu's friend Elder Lei.
"Brother Long, let's pass through this mountain, and when we reach the Qingshui River, we can use the long-distance boat, and the aura absorbed in it is enough for us to return to the sect. Zhang Yuan looked at the big river not far away, and said loudly, he looked at the children who were looking curiously outside the car at this time, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You bunch of rabbits, you can sleep well, and you are not afraid that there will be monsters behind you to follow you and steal you to eat." Wake me up quickly, I'm about to take a boat back to the sect. ”
A group of children in the carriage were frightened when they heard this, and the carriage did not know how far it was from the village. They were suddenly a little depressed, and each of them was thinking about their parents.
Although he had already been comforted by his parents when he was in the ancestral hall, after all, it was the first time he left his hometown, and it was inevitable that he would have some emotions.
Chen Qingniu kept leaning on the corner of the carriage and looking out the window. He used to wonder what the world outside the village was like, but now the scenery that came into his eyes made him more and more curious about this world. In the past, when he was free, Chen Qingniu would lie on the grass and look at the mountains in the distance when he was herding cattle, because he heard the old village chief say that there were monsters in the mountains, but he had never seen them, and he was a little regretful.
