As soon as the little boy walked out of the main entrance of the school, he heard a girl's voice behind him: "Tang Xin'er, slow down, wait for me!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a girl dressed in a luxurious silk dress with two pigtails, and a girl of the same age as the boy named Tang Xin'er trotted up and chased after her.

Tang Xin'er originally had a smiling little face, but after hearing this voice, he immediately became a little angry and a little distressed, turned his head and glared at the little girl who had arrived in front of him, raised his voice and said angrily: "Gongxi Zi'er, how many times have I told you, don't call me Tang Xin'er, don't call me Tang Xin'er!"

The little girl who was called Gongxi Zi'er was yelled at by Tang Xin'er, and immediately said in a slightly cunning voice with an aggrieved face: "But Mr. has always called you like this!"

Looking at Gongxi Zi'er's innocent face, Tang Xin'er was angry, but she was a little helpless, so she simply didn't dwell too much on this issue, her immature little face put on a serious look, and pretended to be mature and asked: "What's the matter with stopping me?" If you still go to play your boring little game, I won't accompany you, and I won't be free today!"

For Tang Xin'er's contemptuous little eyes, Gongxi Zi'er directly skipped it, took Tang Xin'er's arm with two little hands and dangled it, and said with a smile: "My mother asked me to go home early after today's assessment, saying that she prepared a lot of delicious food for me, to celebrate my passing of the assessment, do you want to come." ”

Hearing that there was something delicious, Tang Xin'er, who was still old, immediately revealed her true form, licked her lips, swallowed her saliva, and shook her bare little head quite painfully: "Not today, my father asked me to go home as soon as I finished the assessment." And your mother is so sure that you can pass the assessment today, and she has prepared so many delicious foods in advance? You won't deliberately lie to me with food, right?"

After speaking, Tang Xin'er stared at Gongxi Zi'er with unkind eyes, but she was obviously still thinking about the delicious food on her table.

Seeing that Tang Xin'er actually doubted herself, Gongxi Zi'er was very dissatisfied, raised her head and chest, patted her small breasts, and said confidently: "You don't look at who I am, Gongxi Zi'er!

Tang Xin'er consciously took care of the loss, touched his little bald head, smiled at Gongxi Zi'er, and then suddenly broke free of the little hand that was holding his arm, pulled his legs and ran towards the outside of the school, and said loudly as he ran: "Don't forget to tell your mother to let her prepare more tomorrow after eating, and I will go to play with you tomorrow!" Before the words fell, Tang Xin'er's figure disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the empty school gate in front of him, Gongxi Zi'er stomped his little feet and muttered in a low voice: "Eat you big-headed ghost, I can't kill you!" and then pouted and walked in the direction of his house, two small pigtails at the back of his head with the steps left and right.

Tang'an Carpenter's Shop, a small shop in the ancient city that makes and sells wooden household utensils.

The shopkeeper Tang An, a slightly chubby man who is nearly forty years old, but he is old, he looks like he is fifty, he has a son when he is old, and his wife has a difficult birth, and he only keeps one of the two, and has a superb wooden handiwork.

The largest family in Guzhong City, the Gongxi family, provided all the wood products needed by him, so the living standard of Tang An's family was much better than that of ordinary people, and his son Tang Xin'er also became a playmate with the little princess of the Gongxi family.

Today, Tang An closed down early, pacing back and forth at the door of the store, his face was very anxious, and he looked at the end of the street from time to time. Because today is the day when his son Tang Xin'er turns eight years old in the academic assessment, whether he can turn into a dragon once depends on this day.

After a long time, Tang Xin'er's small figure finally appeared at the end of the street, bouncing quite leisurely along the way. As soon as he saw Tang Xin'er's figure, Tang An hurriedly greeted him, took his little hand and rushed home, because the speed was too fast, Tang Xin'er even stumbled and almost fell.

Seeing that his father was different from his usual slow and leisurely temperament, Tang Xin'er naturally knew the reason in his heart, and there must be no parent who was not nervous at this time.

Entering the house, Tang An closed the main door, pulled Tang Xin'er to the backyard bedroom, and as soon as the door was closed, he eagerly lowered his voice and asked, "How is the assessment, what does Mr. say?!"

Faced with a father who had a sense of sneakiness and behaved strangely, Tang Xin'er began to be confused, feeling that his father's behavior did not seem to be normal, but as soon as he heard his father ask about the assessment, his doubts were thrown aside, and his face immediately showed smugness, and when he was about to show off loudly, he saw his father's dark face, and immediately shut up, and replied in a proper manner: "Mr. commented that I am missing two of the five elements,...... Ahh

As soon as Tang Anshi heard "the five elements are missing two", his face was overjoyed, and he hugged his son in his arms, and kept muttering "the five elements are missing two, the five elements are missing two", and the excitement was overflowing.

The father's sudden hugging action scared Tang Xin'er into a loud "ah", and the words that followed were scared into his stomach, in his memory, this was the first time his father hugged himself.

With his head resting on his father's broad shoulders, Tang Xin'er's face showed a hint of happiness, and then he said before the unfinished words: "Medium qualification, art is good at calculation, qualified!" At this time, Tang's father still kept chattering "Five elements are missing two", Tang Xin'er's words, whether he heard it, or whether he cared, but it is unknown.

After so much, Tang's father recovered from the excitement, praised his son again and again, and then began to pace in the bedroom again, as if thinking about something.

I don't know how long it has been, just when Tang Xin'er was bored and was about to sneak out to play, Tang's father seemed to have finally thought about it, and said to Tang Xin'er: "You just stay at home, you are not allowed to go anywhere, I will go out to do something, and when I come back for lunch, we will go back to my hometown and village, and go to your mother's grave to burn some paper money, such a happy thing must be told to her." ”

Not long ago, on a nameless country road outside the ancient city, an old horse pulled a two-wheeled carriage with a carriage, crawling slowly forward on the potholed dirt road, and after a while, a small bald head stretched out from the carriage, and said to the slightly chubby man driving in front of him dissatisfiedly: "Father, this is too slow, at this speed, we will definitely not be able to come back before midnight tomorrow morning." Mr. repeatedly emphasized that he wants us to gather at the academy on time tomorrow and take us to Luoyun Academy to report!"

"We're not going back, and we probably never will. Listening to his son's anxious words, Tang's father didn't care, and came out with a sentence without hurrying, which scared Tang Xin'er a lot.

"Why! Doesn't my father plan to let me enter Luoyun Academy and not learn the method of cultivating immortals? But isn't this your lifelong expectation!?" Being able to have the opportunity to step into the path of cultivating immortals is not only the expectation of my father's life, but also the thing that I dream of, suddenly hearing such a sentence, Tang Xin'er felt that his chest was very tight now, his mind was very messy, and he couldn't accept it for a while, but he just asked his doubts mechanically, looking for even half a bit of hope!

"Because our ancestral surname is Mo, not Tang. A seemingly unrelated but earth-shattering sentence completely made Tang Xin'er's eight-year-old head unable to turn around, and sat in the carriage in a daze, looking at his father's broad and somewhat curved back, not knowing how to answer.

Later, Tang's father didn't care whether his son could accept this information, or he was talking to himself, revealing the secrets in his heart in front of his son word by word.

"Our family's surname is Mo, and you and I were originally directly related to the Mo family, but later because of the three successive generations of descendants, the descendants were either inferior qualifications with all the five elements, or inferior qualifications with one of the five elements, and finally demoted from the direct line to the side branches, perhaps because they felt that they had no place to be ashamed, and they really had no shame to face other clansmen, and at that time, the head of our family decided to lead our clan out of their own family and go out to find another way to make a living.

Maybe the bloodline of our clan is really withered and thinned to this point, since leaving the family for countless years, there has never been a clansman with intermediate or above qualifications, and even regressing, and it will take several generations for the inferior qualifications of the five elements to appear, but unfortunately the qualifications are really limited, and there is nothing to achieve in the end.

Although each generation of patriarchs still takes returning to the direct family as the goal of their lives, as time goes by, everyone in the clan gradually loses any hope for returning to the direct family, and even the sense of belonging to the Mo family is weakening day by day, and all of this has changed dramatically with the sudden arrival of the patriarch of the Mo family's direct family one night, but I don't know whether all this is fortunate or unfortunate for the last clan like us. ”

In this way, the carriage swayed towards the goal, and the father and son listened to each other, and before they knew it, the destination was close at hand.

At that time, in the ancestral house of the Mo family, which was the ancestral house of the Tang family in Wenliu Village, Tang Xin'er and his father, who had finished worshiping their mother and other trivial things, were sitting at the dinner table eating and chatting.

Because on the way back in the afternoon, his father was basically saying that he was listening, due to his curiosity about such secrets and his brain was indeed a little confused at that time, although Tang Xin'er had a stomach full of questions, he did not interrupt his father's words at that time, and Tang Xin'er, who had already recovered from the chaos and horror at this moment, took advantage of the free time of dinner to ask his own questions.

"Father, according to what you said, the Mo family at that time was one of the best families in the entire Immortal Twilight Continent, and the head of the family at that time even stepped into the realm of immortals with one foot, but when she found our vein, she was injured by someone, and her life was in danger, and she even said that the Mo family Manchu was destroyed, I really can't figure out who has this strength?"

"This is not recorded in the ancestral home of the Mo family, and I am not very clear. ”

"According to what my father said, our whole clan has avoided disasters for nearly 10,000 years, how big is this?"

"I don't know. ”

"Then why do you have a feud?"

"I don't know. ”

"And how many of our people are there?"

"I don't know. ”

After thinking about it, Father Tang added: "Maybe there are still scattered outside, maybe only you and I are left." ”
