Chapter 1 The foot of Yazi Mountain
The spring breeze gently blows the tender willows, bringing news of early spring......
At the foot of Yazi Mountain, smoke curls from a village, and it is clear that families are preparing dinner
"Dog's father, the meal is almost ready, call the dog to come over for dinner"
"Come on, let's go, dog, continue to write after eating"
A simple man chopping wood in the courtyard heard the greeting of his daughter-in-law, wiped the sweat on his head, and waved to the seven or eight-year-old boy who was writing calligraphy not far away
"Dad, you and your mother eat first, I'll come right away"
When the child heard the cry, he didn't raise his head, but coped with two sentences, still concentrating on writing his notebook
"Hehe, this kid, really competitive, so hard-working, he will definitely be able to be admitted to Xiucai in a few years, then my old Du family is really glorious, hehe......"
The son didn't pay much attention to him, and Boss Du was not angry, but felt that his son was working hard, and he was happier in his heart, so he smiled, and really turned around and entered the house by himself
"What about the dog?"
"Still writing there, you see, so hard, in a few years, you will definitely be able to show off your talents, maybe you can also take the exam, when the time comes, our old Du family will also be considered a famous family, haha"
"You, my son has been studying for a day, and he won't let him rest when he eats."
Sun Yan looked at her son so hard, and her eyes were full of distress
"Daughter-in-law, wronged! You don't know the dog's temperament, you can't pull it up, nine cows can't pull it, besides, he is practicing calligraphy there, I can't get angry......"
"Hmph, it's not up to you, your old Du family is so virtuous!"
Sun Yan glanced at Du Dazhuang and sighed
"Hey...... These children in the village are all making a lot of noise, and the adults are chasing after them to study, our dog is good, and he can't do without this book every day......
"Daughter-in-law, this is a good thing, it shows that our dog is angry! Everyone in the village envies us! Okay, let's go to dinner first, and then come back to call this kid, you see, what is being written is fascinating, and it is not good to interrupt him now."
Sun Yan looked at her son's serious appearance, so she had to nod and go into the inner room with Du Dazhuang to eat......
Du Xin is already addicted to his own world at the moment, splashing ink ......
There has always been a custom in the village, the cheaper the child's name, the better it is to feed, so Du Xin's milk name is called Gouzi
Du Xin has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and when he was three years old, he had a serious illness inexplicably, and even a trace of vitality remained
Du Xin's parents have never had children, until they were nearly forty years old, and they begged Langzhong for dozens of miles to get a prescription and give birth to Du Xin, and they also understood that in this life, Du Xin is only one child
It is conceivable that the only only son suffered from this catastrophe, Du Xin's parents were even more crazy, seeking medical advice everywhere, and Xue Langzhong, who prescribed home remedies back then, forty miles away, was also invited to consult, but after seeing Du Xin, he just shook his head helplessly and sighed
"There is no way to return to the sky, there is no way to return to the sky......"
After saying that, he left
The couple who fell into despair could only watch Du Xin's vitality fade away little by little......
Just when the husband and wife were about to prepare for Du Xin's funeral, a Taoist suddenly visited Du's house, and after looking at Du Xin's condition, he told Du Dazhuang and his wife
"Your son has a fairy root, but he is born with four elements of life, and he only lacks gold in his life, so he suffers from this strange disease, since this son has a fate with me, he will give him this thing, which can help him survive this catastrophe"
After speaking, he handed Du Dazhuang a sword-shaped pendant
"Wear it on this son's body, and after seven days, he will be healed"
After speaking, Lao Dao turned and left
Sun Yan listened, snatched the pendant from Du Dazhuang's hand, and hurriedly put it on his son's neck
When the pendant touched Du Xin, the dark gold pendant gradually became hot and turned red in an instant
Looking at Du Xin again, his face was a little ruddy, and he even had more strength to breathe
"Dog's father!Dog's father!Look!look!"
Seeing that Du Xin's breath gradually became stronger, Sun Yan shook Du Dazhuang's arm excitedly
Du Dazhuang's eyes were also red, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned around and walked out of the door
rushed to the courtyard, only to see a slightly rickety Taoist robe figure slightly blurred in the distance
Du Dazhuang didn't care about anything at the moment, and chased frantically towards the figure, shouting as he ran
"Shangxian! Shangxian!Can my dog worship in the immortal gate?"
The faint voice came from a distance, but it echoed clearly in Du Dazhuang's ears
"If you have a fate, you will enter the fairy gate, and you can enjoy the glory without a fate, by the way, don't call it a dog, your life is short of gold, a single word Xin, you ...... Let's go back."
As soon as the words fell, Du Dazhuang felt a gust of wind blowing, and when he looked again, he had returned to his door after chasing dozens of meters
Du Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, fell to his knees in an instant, bowed deeply to the place where the old Taoist figure disappeared, and muttered
"Thank you Shangxian for saving the dog's life!"
............
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the village has already spread that the little dog of the Du family was rescued by the immortals, so every time they see Du Dazhuang's family, the people in the village are very envious, after all, they can get the mercy of the immortals, this is the fate of the immortals
Eight-year-old Du Xin, because of his illness that year, was a little thin and looked like a five- or six-year-old child
Du Dazhuang has not forgotten the proverb left by the old Tao, even if his son can't enter the immortal gate and can't live forever, he can still enjoy the glory
Therefore, he and his wife saved a sum of money by eating bran and sent their son to the county to study in a private school
Du Xin really lived up to his parents' expectations, studied hard and worked hard, and was repeatedly praised by Mr. Private School, but also because he felt that Du Xin had great hope of being a talent in the examination, and he was exempted from Du Xin's tuition, which made Du Dazhuang and his wife happy for a long time
In two years, Du Xin's words are even more extraordinary, and there is a trace of everyone's demeanor
Of course, these people are interested in Du Xin's future potential
Ten-year-old Du Xin is still thinner than his peers, looking the same as seven or eight years old
Since Du Xin came into contact with calligraphy, there is an inexplicable sense of intimacy, not for calligraphy, but for the process of writing
At this moment, his parents called him to eat, which was the critical moment when he felt that his calligraphy skills were about to break through to another realm
Try different strokes again and again, write the same font again and again, but it is always a little worse, just like a film, seemingly thin as cicada wings, but full of toughness, if you can't master that trace of strength, poor life, I'm afraid you can't break through that realm
"Hoo ......"
Chang breathed a sigh of relief, Du Xin rubbed his eyebrows, concentrated the energy of the day to try, stopped at this moment, felt that the world was spinning, and he was extremely tired
"Still no, hey, just a little, just a little...... What's missing?"
Du Xin thought secretly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he picked up the pendant hanging on his chest
"This ...... I see!"
