The father and son both came out of Mu Cangshan's house with a worried look on their faces, and walked towards their own wooden house.

A powerful big hand slapped on Mu Qing's shoulder, which was not thick, and Mu Zhenping's deep voice came, saying, "Qing'er, you did a good job today, Dad is very ...... Happy!"

Mu Qing snorted, but she was preoccupied, thinking that she would leave home in three days and face unknown dangers, maybe...... I can't come back, but this is my own choice, not regret, but thinking that my fate is in the hands of others, and this depression and boredom really can't be discharged.

After walking a few more steps, Mu Qing suddenly said, "Dad, you go back first, I want to be alone." ”

Mu Zhenping put a pair of big hands on Mu Qing's shoulders, patted him vigorously, and said, "Go, don't go far, your mother made your favorite five-flavor crispy cake, and your father and mother are waiting for you to come back to eat." ”

Mu Qing snorted, turned around, and walked towards the small river in the hazy moonlight......

Mu Zhenping watched his thin figure gradually disappear into the moonlight, with a look of relief, and said to himself: "Qing'er has grown up, she has such courage at a young age, if she can open her spirit before the age of fifteen, her future achievements will definitely be extraordinary...... After speaking, there was a trace of helplessness and sigh on his face, but he shook his head, as if he was suddenly full of confidence again, and walked towards home with firm steps......

......

At this moment, Mu Cangshan came to a hut alone that enshrined the tablets of the ancestors of the past dynasties, knelt on the ground, his face was haggard, he bowed to those tablets three times, and said to himself:

"The ancestors of the past dynasties, the younger generation Mu Cangshan did not learn and did not know, and insulted the name of the ancestors, and now I have to rely on Qing'er to block the disaster in front of my Mu family, it is really unscrupulous, the ancestors of the past generations have knowledge under the spring, and they will bless Qing'er safely, and when the spiritual thing is born, the younger generation will revive the majesty of my Mu family......"

With a "pop", the wooden window was blown open by the mountain wind, and the oil lamp on the table was suddenly blown bright and dark.

Mu Cangshan's expression tightened, he looked at the hundreds of tablets in a daze, and said in his heart: Could it really be that an ancestor has appeared?

After a while, Mu Cangshan shook his head, slowly got up, and closed the wooden window again.

......

Mu Qing walked along the river, listening to the gurgling water, he couldn't help but feel sad, tears finally fell down, he walked faster and faster, going up against the river, and muttered: "Don't cry, I don't cry, I'm a man, I didn't cry......"

I don't know how far I walked, and then I reached the source of this small river, he sat down, hugged his knees, and finally couldn't suppress the grievances in his heart, and cried out with a whimper.

For a fourteen-year-old boy, he was carrying a lot of burdens......

"It's not good to be a hero!"

Suddenly, a deep, deep voice sounded in my ears, as if a person was whispering to my ear!

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked, under this bright moonlight, where was there anyone?

Turning around again, Mu Qing almost exclaimed, and a white shadow ghost appeared in front of him, wrapped in the rising water vapor, and he couldn't see clearly for a while.

In an instant, Mu Qing thought that it was Bai Wuchang from the underworld who came to lock his soul, and he got up in fright, and ran away.

A strong force surged from all directions, Mu Qing only felt that the strength of his whole body could not be used at all, and the next moment, his body slowly floated up, and he was dragged back again, and he turned over, straight towards the white shadow.

Mu Qing hurriedly closed her eyes tightly and shouted: "My yang life is not over, you have caught the wrong person!"

When this shout came out, the white shadow on the opposite side suddenly froze, and then let out a hearty laugh, and said, "Little doll, open your little eyes and take a closer look." ”

Mu Qing had the courage to open his eyes and look at the white shadow in front of him, this time he saw clearly, the opposite side was not white impermanence, no high hat, no red tongue was spit out, but an old man in white clothes and white hair, slender and tall, his face was full of wrinkles, a wisp of white beard was over the waist, and the white hair and white beard were not miserable white, but a kind of silver white full of vitality, which emitted a faint fluorescence under the moonlight.

Mu Qing let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm scared to death, I thought it was ...... I guess my luck isn't that bad. ”

The old man in white chuckled again, and said, "Luck is indefinite!" As he spoke, there was no movement in his hand, Mu Qing only felt that his body was loose, and the force that he was holding on to suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his body fell to the ground with a pop.

Glancing at the old man, thinking back to the force that trapped him just now, he was sure that the old man in front of him must be a monk, and his cultivation was not weak. Mu Qing said respectfully: "Grandpa, who are you?Is there something to do here?Can I take you to see my grandfather?"

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "I'm here to see you." ”

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and said, "See me, what's the matter, do we know each other?"

The old man said: "You don't know me, but I know you, your name is Mu Qing, your performance today surprised me." ”

Mu Qing smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at the river, and said with a decadent face: "What's surprising, I can't open the spirit, I can't cultivate, and I have to be a hostage, you are so old, aren't you here to laugh at me?"

The old man in white smiled again and said, "Anyway, you are already extremely miserable, so it doesn't matter if you are more miserable." ”

"No matter how miserable it is, how miserable is it? Could it be that you are really the white impermanence of the underworld?" Mu Qing said angrily.

The old man solemnly got up and said, "I'm an alchemist, I refined a pill a few days ago, and I want to find someone to help me try it, I think you're good, do you dare to help me try it." ”

Mu Qing's expression changed, and he suddenly remembered several legends in the immortal cultivation world that his mother had said, saying that some monks were favored by their predecessors and gave them elixirs, and their cultivation rose sharply, and the old man in front of him looked kind, and he wanted to let him try the elixir when he came up, could it be that he wanted to help himself?

So he said with a little vigilance: "Old man, can you tell me what kind of pill you have?"

The old man said proudly: "My elixir melts into the abdomen, turning into a fiery Xuanxi, a thousand blades, and it is painful!"

"Ah, this is poison!" Mu Qing exclaimed.

The old man chuckled and continued, "Yes, it's poison, but this poison has a nice name. ”

"What's it called?"

"It's called—Dadao Dan!"

The name Dao Dan is indeed domineering, but even if it is domineering, it is also poisonous domineering.

Mu Qing couldn't help but shake her head, and said solemnly: "I can't help you test the medicine, I'm not afraid of death, it's just ...... I promised my grandfather that he was going to be a proton, and if I died, I would have to choose another person in the family, and if I chose Ling'er, it would be troublesome. ”

The old man looked at Mu Qing with a serious look, nodded slightly, and said, "In addition to asking for people's lives, my Dao Dan also has another effect, do you want to hear it?"

"Poison is poison, what other effect can it have?" Mu Qing asked.

The old man twisted his long hair in his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "To ordinary people, it is poison, but for people like you whose physical body and meridians are far beyond ordinary people, it is an opportunity. ”

Mu Qing was stunned when he heard this, although he couldn't open his spirit, and he seemed to be very thin, but it was also true that his body was far stronger than others.

I remember being naughty when I was a child, there were many bumps, and once I fell from a tree, and it turned out that there was no. Now this old man can see at a glance that his physical body is strong, and his cultivation must not be weak, and when he heard that this Dao Dan is an opportunity, he can't help but be interested, and asks, "What is the opportunity?"

The old man leaned in towards Mu Qing, and said in a mysterious voice: "A chance to open the spirit!"

What? Opportunity for Enlightenment?

Mu Qing's whole body trembled, her eyes stared at the old man, and her heart beat wildly uncontrollably.

A chance to open the soul! A chance to become a monk!

The dream that has haunted my heart for many years, soaring between the sky and the earth like a bird, piercing the clouds and fog, overlooking the earth, holding a long sword, looking at the people!

Mu Qing naturally didn't know that the old man in white watched the battle in the clouds during the day, and observed everyone in the Mu family in the dark at night, and found that although this child was not enlightened, he was smart and clever, and what was more valuable was that he was arrogant, very heroic, and couldn't help but like it a little, seeing him crying by the river alone, he was a little pitiful, so he appeared and wanted to give him a chance.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that this Great Dao Pill was extremely powerful, and there was a ninety percent chance that it would explode and die, so he said it so tactfully.

Mu Qing's mouth was dry, and he swallowed his saliva before saying, "Grandpa, is what you said true?"

The old man said, "How old am I, and I would still lie to you as a child?" As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a milky white pill appeared in the palm of his hand.

This pill is the size of a thumb, the surface is densely covered with delicate patterns, in the reflection of the moonlight, it seems that countless small snakes are swimming, the surface of the pill is glowing with layers of luminous light, and at the same time, a pungent spicy rush to the face.

Mu Qing was stunned for a while, and then said, "Grandpa, senior, you said that this poison can make people enlightened, how many chances are there?"

The old man didn't answer, but said unhurriedly: "Mu Qing, do you know why you have eaten the Enlightenment Pill, it seems that you have eaten a lot, but you can't enlighten the Spirit?"

Mu Qing shook her head, looking dazed.

The old man continued: "People, before the age of fifteen, the meridians have not developed and formed, under the stimulation of some external forces, they will trigger the resonance of their own six roots, and these six roots will be transformed into spiritual roots, which is enlightenment, but once the age of fifteen, the meridians develop and take shape, although it is not completely impossible, but it is difficult, which is also the reason why your family will send you away after the age of fifteen to live a mortal life. ”

Regarding the six roots, it refers to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and the corresponding six senses are color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and law.

However, this external stimulus is not 100% successful, only about 1 or 2 percent of the success is successful, and more people will not be able to open the spirit no matter what. ”

Mu Qing's face was sad again, and he said, "My grandfather said that I had nothing to do with cultivating immortals. ”

The old man smiled again and said: "As for you, your body and meridians are a little different from ordinary people, much stronger than ordinary people, especially the meridians, which are several times that of ordinary people, so those shoddy pills, when they reach your stomach, are like jelly beans, they can't stimulate your six roots at all, and no matter how much you eat, you can't open the spirit." ”

Mu Qing's eyes bulged out when she heard this.

What? The elixir I ate was jelly beans, which were shoddy? It almost cost the family decades of accumulated resources in exchange.

However, when I heard the old man say that the strength of his body and meridians was several times that of ordinary people, he was a little proud in his heart, and said in his heart: It turns out that I am so talented!

I only heard the old man continue: "Those elders in your family naturally know that your physical body and meridians are special, but they don't know that for this special situation, no matter how much you eat the Kailing Pill, it is ineffective, only my Dao Dan!" The old man's voice raised a few points, and he continued: "With the power of the mighty medicine, you can find a little vitality in the realm of death, and you will die for a lifetime, once you succeed, the benefits will be endless, and the effect of washing the essence and expanding the meridians is more than ten times that of the ordinary Kailing Pill!"

Ten times more effective than ordinary Kailing Pill?

Mu Qing was stunned when she heard this. His eyes were shining. For a moment, I couldn't leave the beautiful and strange-smelling elixir. I repeatedly said in my heart: Nine deaths, nine deaths!

The old man just held the pill like that, squinted his eyes at Mu Qing, and said for a while, "How is it?"

Mu Qing's mind came to mind the soft sigh of his father, the helpless eyes of his grandfather, and the contemptuous ridicule of those younger brothers and sisters......

Finally, he turned his heart on the side and said firmly: "I'll try!"
