Volume 1 There are many troubles in Xianmen at the beginning Chapter 1 My name is Li Shan
Tai'e Lake is located in the northwest of Zhongzhou, is the largest lake in Wei State, more than 800 miles of Haohao soup, the sky covers the sun, it is very magnificent. The Tai'e Mountain, which is adjacent to Tai'e Lake, has a reputation throughout the Wei State because of the existence of the Tai'e Gate of the Xiuzhen sect, and is even more named "Tai'e Immortal Mountain" by people. The so-called mountain is not high, there is a name for immortals, every year there is an endless stream of people who go up the mountain to seek immortals, but the ones who are really included in the courtyard are rare, very few. Even so, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of mortals to seek immortal immortality.
At this time, the morning sun begins to bloom on the surface of the lake, and the brilliant morning glow reflects the turquoise water into a gorgeous satin. On the surface of the lake, people are in the midst of the rippling, gulls and herons are singing, spreading their wings, fluttering and splashing, it turns out that these water birds can't bear the excitement, and hurriedly get into the water to look for fish and shrimp.
Such a beautiful scenery is naturally wonderful for those dignitaries and scholars. But for those fishermen who work at sunrise and return at sunset, all this seems too commonplace, they are not in the mood to enjoy this so-called beauty, they have already braved the early morning mist to drive the boat to fish, their wish is very simple, they only hope to catch more fish, pick up some firewood, rice, oil and salt in the market of Tai'e Town, and feed a wife and children.
"Whew" Li Shan blew off the blood blisters on his hands, the first time he sailed a boat to fish, he finally knew how the thick calluses on his father's hands were formed, and he felt more and more guilty when he thought of this.
"Let's learn how to fish so that we can feed our families in the future." Li Shan secretly swore in his heart.
There are many villages on the shores of Tai'e Lake that rely on fishing to earn a living, and Lijiatun is one of them. Li Shan was born in Lijiatun, and his parents lived by fishing all their lives.
Li Shan, who has been wooden since he was a child, actually has an extremely flexible mind. When I was a child, I studied in a private school in the village, and I was always the first. His parents also have high hopes for him, hoping to be a talent and fame, and he no longer has to be a fisherman who goes out early and returns late.
"Shan'er, why are you stunned, why don't you hurry up and cast the net?" Li Kui scolded his son, in fact, as a father, how could he not know what his son was thinking!
Secretly, Li Kui sighed, he knew that Li Shan, a kid with a smart mind, was also valued by Mr. Wang in the private school. However, Li Kui was just a poor fisherman, and he had no money for his son's education, so he dropped out of school after only one year.
"Alas, if you want to blame it, blame your father for not having the ability! This is Shan'er's life!"
Li Shan didn't say anything, he knew his father's hardships, in order to provide for his own education, his father was reluctant to eat or wear, and almost all the family's savings were used on himself. Therefore, Li Shan felt sorry for his father, so he could only put down his mind to study and learn to fish from his father.
Soon it was noon, and the fishermen were all rocking home.
Li Shan also helped his father pull up the fishing net, and the harvest of this net was really not small, with big fish and small fish jumping all over the cabin.
The two went home full of joy, and as soon as the boat landed, Li Shan jumped ashore and rushed home, while his father packed up the fishing nets on the boat.
"Eldest sister, we're back!" Li Shan stepped into the house with a fresh fish, ready to let his sister stew fish for the family at noon, and put the rest into a bamboo basket after eating.
"I'm tired from fishing on the first day today, right? Come, wash your face, I'll take the fish to the kitchen to cook." "Sister Li Huer has always loved her younger brother Li Shan, and this kind of love makes Li Shanda, who lost his mother when he was a child, feel warm in his heart. However, Li Shan did not take the towel handed by his sister, but walked straight to the kitchen with the fish.
"Sister, you're tired all morning, let me do this kind of work!"
Li Hu'er smiled with satisfaction when she saw her brother so sensible.
"Today is lucky, this fish is just right to replenish my father's body. Li Shan said happily.
In Tai'e Lake, Zhenyu is a kind of fish with delicious meat and high nutritional value, which is rarely caught in ordinary times, but today I happened to catch one, and Li Shan left it without making up for his father. Of course, my father didn't know about this, otherwise he would have reprimanded him a long time ago.
Li Shan pulled out a sharp knife from his waist, this knife was the reward he gave for helping the blacksmith Zhang in the village to make iron, the blade is sharp, it can't be said to be blowing hair, it can also cut gold and jade, but today when the blade cut through the fish belly, the knife was stuck.
Li Shan was stunned, he knew the sharpness of the knife, let alone cutting the fish, even if it was cutting iron, it was not a problem, it was obvious that there was something in the stomach of the fish.
Slowly, the belly of the fish was cut open little by little, and a black piece of something that looked like an iron or non-iron token was deducted from the belly of the fish.
"There's this thing hidden in the belly of the fish!"
When Li Shan was studying in a private school, he often saw the ancients borrowing the habit of hiding things from the belly of a fish, which was generally done to hide people's eyes, thinking of this, he wiped the blood stain on the token with his hand, wanting to see what words were engraved on the token? Unfortunately, this swarthy guy had nothing but rough lines. Li Shan shook his head in disappointment, casually threw the black guy into the firewood and straw stack, and handed the disemboweled fish to his sister.
At lunchtime, as expected, Li Kui looked at a pot of fish meat and began to complain about Li Shan. Li Shan just lowered his head to eat, did not speak, and when he finished eating, he hurried back to his room. Seeing that his son was gone, Li Kui sighed and lowered his head to eat. After all, her sister Li Huer couldn't rest assured of her younger brother, so she took a bowl of fish soup and sent it to Li Shan.
On the road leading to Lijiatun in Tai'e Town, an ox cart is slowly moving along the road.
"The eldest brother's baby has always been smart and clever, in fact, it's okay not to study, people like us can have a few people who have been admitted to the exam, this time the immortals of Tai'e Xianmen came to the town to accept apprentices, the opportunity is really rare, it is better to let Shan'er try it, and try the opportunity. Li Yong sat on the ox cart and thought to himself.
Li Yong is Li Kui's cousin, and now he is in charge of a family surnamed Lin in Tai'e Town, and he is also a big man who has seen the world in this Li Jiatun. Although he married a wife and had children in the town, they were all daughters, and he had no sons, so he simply treated his cousin Li Kui's son Li Shan as his own child. In the past few years, he has also helped this cousin, especially Li Shan, a child who is sensible and smart, and studious, so he likes this cousin even more.
This time, he heard that the Tai'e Immortal Sect had sent immortals to Tai'e Town to recruit disciples, and the eldest son outside the forester had been recognized by the immortals as a spirit child with a spiritual vein, and he wanted to be admitted to the Immortal Sect. This news greatly stimulated him, you must know that the rumored immortals fly to the sky, the sword rides the wind, omnipotent, if you are really lucky enough to become an immortal, the family can ascend to heaven, and the dignity of its identity is that the emperors and generals in the world are also beyond the reach of the dust, and Li Yong also heard that the immortals of Tai'e Xianmen only stayed in the town for two days, and the time was not long, so he hurriedly drove the ox cart and rushed to Lijiatun.
