There is a dilapidated house in the corner of the capital, the door is half-hidden and difficult to close, not to mention transparent on all sides, but it can't cover up much wind and cold.

Outside the door, Chen Wenshan straightened his clothes, cleaned up his emotions, and pushed open the door with a smile on his face.

"Mother, I'm back, look what I brought back for you!"

Chen Wenshan put the roast chicken and hot steamed bun in his hand on the only piece of furniture, looked around with a smile on his face, and saw the figure falling to the ground, and the smile gradually solidified on his face. Crazy, he ran over and hugged the figure in his arms, and shouted: "Mother, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, mother!"

The figure opened his eyes, looked at Chen Wenshan and smiled, and raised his hand with difficulty. Seeing this, Chen Wenshan put his hand on his cheek, and his eyes had begun to moisten......

"Shan'er, you're back, if your mother doesn't work, I won't drag you down anymore in the future!"

The sound was staccato and relieved.

Chen Wenshan's voice was a little choked: "Mother, don't say stupid things, you'll be fine, I'll take you to the doctor!"

"Shirt, don't waste your efforts, my mother is leaving, you have to live alone in the future!"

"No, mother, it'll be fine, let's go, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Chen Wenshan made a gesture and wanted to pick up his mother, but his mother touched Chen Wenshan's cheek and stopped him: "Shirt, my mother is really leaving, you remember that if you have a chance in the future, you must find your father, you have to tell him that your mother misses him!"

Chen Wenshan kept nodding his head and said, "I will, mother, I will!"

The mother smiled and said, "Shirt, don't blame your mother, your mother is very reluctant to you!"

After speaking, his arm slipped from Chen Wenshan's hand, Chen Wenshan hugged his mother, he finally couldn't help it, and cried loudly: "Mother, mother, don't leave me alone, mother......"

There was heavy snow outside, the sky had become dark, and every house began to set off fireworks, and the fireworks at night were the most beautiful, and the whole sky was gorgeous, making people want to stop......

Chen Wenxian tied his mother to his back, took advantage of the night to reach the city gate, and the soldiers on duty on Chinese New Year's Eve saw that Chen Wenxian's mother was dead, sighed, opened the city gate and let Chen Wenshan out.

There is a deep mountain in the south of the capital of Chu State, and there is a mass grave on the mountain, Chen Wenshan has no money to buy the tablet of the cemetery for his mother, so he can only be buried here......

The road was slippery in the dark, relying on the faint night, Chen Wenshan climbed the mountain road, and the body of the mother behind him became heavier and heavier, pressing Chen Wenshan to straighten his waist.

"Mother, we're almost there. ”

"Mother, are you cold?"

"Mother, talk to the child!"

"Mother, are you tired?"

Chen Wenshan's voice echoed in the forest, and the sound quality was soft, lest it disturb the mother who was sleeping on her back.

Chen Wenshan found a good position, gently put his mother on the ground, turned around and touched his mother's face and said, "Mother, don't be afraid, we have arrived." With that, he picked up a few slightly thick branches that had been folded on the side of the road and stuck them and pulled them over with his hand, and the cycle repeated......

The branch was broken, and Chen Wenshan didn't get up, but just threw away the branch with his broken hand and dug it with both hands. The cold and stiff soil in the cold winter wore out the skin of Chen Wenshan's hands, and blood mixed with mud stains dripped on the ground, staining the snow red. Tears and snot mixed with chin fell from the young man's teeth, not allowing himself to cry. This road is what he is afraid of in his life, this pit is the most difficult to dig in his life, he can't remember how many tears he shed today, in the past life, in this life, if there is an afterlife.

After the pit was dug, Chen Wenshan gently put his mother down, knelt on the ground and looked at his mother for the last time, and then buried the mound. One is a wooden tablet that Chen Wenshan used up the last silver to buy in the tombstone shop......

"Chen's Tomb"

There are a few small characters engraved below: his son Chen Wenli is standing.

Chen Wenshan knelt in front of the tomb, knocked his head three times, most of the flesh on his fingers was gone, and the whitish finger bones were faintly visible......

"Mother, forgive the child for not being filial and failing to fulfill his filial piety!"

"Mother, the child will definitely find his father, no matter what happened back then, the child will go and find out one by one!"

Chen Wenshan was silent, looked at his mother's wooden tablet and made a decision in his heart.

"Mother, I often hear the storyteller in the tavern say that there is an immortal mountain in the south of the Chu country, and the mountain has an immortal sect named Qingyun, and every three years in the spring will recruit disciples, so that you can seek immortality, turn yin and yang, and reverse life and death. Mother, as long as you become an immortal, the child will have enough strength to find his father and resurrect you!"

After speaking, Chen Wenshan stood up, bowed for the last time, left this mass grave, and walked towards the vast night.

In the capital of Chu State, in the dilapidated house, Chen Wenshan looked at the four walls of this house, there was no souvenir, and he picked up the bags around him with his hands wrapped in cloth tapes, walked out of the door, and walked out of the capital......

Chen Wenshan walked all the way south, thirsty to drink snow, hungry to gnaw on the bark branches and leaves, if he was lucky enough to find a few fruits, he could have a big meal.

On this day, there was a young man standing in front of Baimo City, with ragged clothes, a clear face, and the corners of his dry mouth looked at the big words on the city gate and smiled, and then stepped into the ......

"Hey, hey, what's going on?

"Don't you know that you can't go in without paying the money to enter the city?"

In front of the city gate stood two soldiers guarding the city, one for inspection and the other for collecting money. At this time, the soldier who collected the money grabbed Chen Wenshan, who was about to enter, pointed to a sign beside him, and said: "Look at it! Anyone who enters the city needs to pay the entrance fee and ten copper coins." ”

"I don't have any money!"

Chen Wenshan looked at the soldier who collected the money coldly, patted his deflated bag and said.

The soldier looked at Chen Wenshan with a disgusted face and said, "No money, no money, what kind of city are you going to enter, go away, don't delay the people behind you to enter the city!"

Chen Wenshan looked at the long queue behind him and scratched his head: "I don't have any money, but I need to go into the city." ”

"No, you're deaf or blind! You can't go into the city without money, you know?"

The soldier who inspected him was a little unbearable when he saw Chen Wenshan's appearance, and said, "Otherwise, forget it, this little beggar is quite pitiful, so let him go into the city to beg for food." ”

When the soldier who collected the money heard this, he said: "Lao Wang, don't be kind, when he enters the city, you will have to pay for this money again, don't forget what your sister-in-law said about you last month!"

The soldier who inspected hesitated: "This ......"

Thinking of the fierce wife at home, he was really a little frightened, he looked at Chen Wenshan in front of him, and said after a while: "Child, don't go into the city, I'll go to the house to prepare some food for you in a while, you can go!"

Chen Wenshan leaned over and bowed to the inspecting soldier and said, "Thank you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar behind the crowd, and the three of them looked curiously, only to see that everyone was looking up at the sky, and one of them stretched out his hand and said, "Look, it's an immortal!"

Chen Wenshan looked in the direction that the man was pointing, and saw a young man in a fancy costume flying over the city gate with a flying sword on his feet, without looking down at the worshipping crowd below.

"It's the young city lord!"

The soldier who collected the money said.

"Yes, our city lord is really blessed, there is a son who follows the immortal chief to practice. ”

"Who's to say it's not? Why don't you have such good luck!"

"It's you, pull it, hurry up and collect the money!"

The two elder brothers of the soldiers were about to continue guarding the city gate, but found that the little beggar who was in front of them was nowhere to be seen.

The soldier who inspected looked left and right and said, "Hey, where's the little beggar?"

"Whatever, maybe he'll leave without any money, right?"

The soldier who collected the money looked indifferent, and when he saw the legendary young city lord today, he was very happy, and he didn't want to care about such a trivial matter.

"Hey, it's ......."

Chen Wenshan sneaked into the city when everyone was still amazed, he chased the young city lord all the way, the young city lord's flying appearance of the sword made Chen Wenshan very envious, he knew that the young city lord had obtained the entry qualification to seek immortality and turn yin and yang, and it was very likely that he would become an immortal in the future, and truly have the right to determine life and death.

Chen Wenshan thought of this and stopped, the poor food for days had exhausted his physical strength, and the chase just now made him almost tired, panting, he clenched his fists, and looked at the back of the young city lord with a longing expression.

"Haha, another fool who wants to live forever!"

An old man with a wine jug on the side of the road kept pouring wine into his mouth and said.

Chen Wenshan bowed to the old man and said, "Old man, are you talking about the young city lord who just flew over?"

The old man put down the flask in his hand and said with a playful expression: "No, I'm talking about you?"

"Old man, I ......"

The old man waved his hand to interrupt Chen Wenshan, and said, "Little doll, listen to my advice, go home early, don't pursue Lao Mozi Immortal Dao, it's just a big lie used to deceive the world!"

Chen Wenshan's expression was sad: "Old man, I ...... I don't have a home anymore. ”

"Oh, hehe, it turned out to be a hard-working person in Hongchen, interesting, interesting. Haha......"

The figure of the old man disappeared quickly in Chen Wenshan's eyes, as if he had never appeared, Chen Wenshan rubbed his eyes and thought that he was hallucinating, and said secretly: "Sure enough, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that before I find Qingyun Sect, I will have to die first, pay more attention in the future, or maybe I'll be cheeky and ask for something to eat in a while!"

At this moment, the old man's voice came into Chen Wenshan's ears again: "It's been a long time since I've met such a polite descendant, you and I meet is fate, there is an immortal city a hundred miles away here, and in ten days the Qingyun Sect will recruit disciples there."

This opportunity is in front of you, and it depends on your ability to seize it......"

Chen Wenshan was shocked in his heart, knowing that he had met a living immortal, he leaned over and bowed to the void and said, "Thank you, old man......"

A string of ethereal laughter was heard, then faded away......
