Chapter 14: The Third Uncle's Past
"That... Father... You don't seem to have said what the training task is", Xiao Daochen said carefully, now that his father is not in the right state, Xiao Daochen does not dare to talk nonsense.
"Oh, yes, yes" The father smiled awkwardly: "This experience is your first time going out, and the task is not difficult, the right is to let you go out for a walk, relax and adjust your mentality, so that you can wash the essence of the second time, this second time is much more painful than the first time."
"It's okay, Chen'er knows, I think it's still painful, the biographies of those big people in the book, none of them haven't suffered hardship, Chen'er is prepared."
Zhang Tianxin nodded and continued: "You know that your father has two sworn brothers, your second uncle Xiao Fengliu and your third uncle Zeng Jiabao, the second uncle is from the Xiao family, and it is a first-class family, but your second uncle has a jumpy temperament, and he does not want to be tied up by the family, so he refused the appointment and reward of the family, and got mixed with your father and me."
"And your third uncle started at the end of the micro, his parents are hard people, old to get a son, in your third uncle was 10 years old unfortunately killed, when he was alive to your third uncle was very strict, yes, and your third uncle is only 6, 7 years old to help the family farm, 10 years old can go up the mountain alone to pick medicine and pick fruits, but fortunately this escaped, but strict to severe, the second old man is very concerned about this son, do his best to eat and raise well, for fear of teaching bad and afraid of breaking it, can only teach by word and deed, everything to be an example, will be instilled in the way of people, no matter whether your third uncle has understood, but your third uncle is full of understanding, and he is grateful for the love of his parents”
"Clinker has no eyes, when I was ten years old, your third uncle went up the mountain to collect medicine as usual, and was busy until noon, but he saw the black smoke in the distant village, and at first he wondered why there was more cooking in the stove today, but after a while, he saw the smoke in the village, and he could see a fire burning in the mountains, and he knew that something was wrong with him, so he hurriedly pulled the axe to open the mountain, carried the herbs he found in his arms, and ran to the village after dropping the bamboo basket."
"Afterwards, your third uncle laughed at himself, even then he didn't forget to bring herbs, after all, the family depends on these herbs to survive, and the poor children are in charge of the family early."
"When your third uncle ran wildly for an hour and returned to the gate of the village, he was tired and out of breath, but he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that his breath stopped."
"There is a memorial arch at the entrance of the village, which says Zengxi Village, but at this time the memorial arch is soaked in blood, and there are 5 corpses hanging on it, your third uncle can save it, it is the strongest in the village to play five, and there are dozens of corpses lying under the archway, all of which are the young adults in the village and the pillars of each family."
"This includes your third uncle's father, a father who is nearly 50 years old but has pale temples."
"Your third uncle rushed over with a loud shout, picked up his father's corpse with trembling hands, cried and shouted, he didn't know what to say, your third uncle recalled, his brain was clouded at that time, his teeth chattered up and down, and he wanted to ask his father what happened, but he bit his tongue several times, except for shouting, he couldn't utter a complete sentence."
"After a few minutes, I calmed down a little, and saw that my father was slashed to death from the front, and there was still anger and worry in his eyes before death, your third uncle closed his father's eyes tremblingly, and shook the other corpses around him one by one, and after more than ten minutes, I was sure that none of them survived."
Then, a shudder, remembering his mother, and I don't know where the strength came from, I struggled to re-enter the village, at this time the fire in the village still existed, and there were charred corpses everywhere, your third uncle forgot to cry, and found a home according to memory, but only saw a ruin after being burned, and regardless of the heat of the residual fire, he re-entered the ruins and shouted mother, mother... ”
"Little by little, I turned over the ruins, and after a while, I found my mother hiding in the cellar, but she was already out of breath, thinking that the smoke from the fire had turned the cellar into a dead place, and his mother was suffocated to death."
At this time, Zhang Tianxin saw Xiao Daochen's face full of tears, and paused and skipped the follow-up, he just wanted to tell him the cruelty of this world, maybe it was a little too much.
"I won't talk about how your third uncle spent this time, the fire attracted a monk from a nearby sect, and found the only surviving third brother, looking at the tragic situation, more than 200 people in the village except for your third uncle have no life left, moved with compassion, accepted your third uncle, and taught him to practice."
"Since then, your third uncle has gone crazy in cultivation, but he has a humble background, no family resources, and ordinary qualifications, and he was only promoted to the next level in the first few years, which made the person who accepted him also disheartened, and he was bullied by his peers, and his realm improved slowly."
"Your third uncle talked about this period of time, saying that he never slept every night, every time he felt sleepy, he scratched his arm with his hand, and stimulated himself with blood, although the progress of cultivation was slow, but he was never expelled from the sect, and then cultivated to the 3rd layer of Qi training, but he could go down the mountain to practice, and he was fortunate to get a few chances, and his qualifications were improved, and he was killed by the same sect several times, but he was killed, but he rose straight up, and finally succeeded in building a foundation at the age of 24, in remote areas, this is also a good result."
"The first thing after building the foundation is to carry a sword, return to the village, find the nearby bandits, at this time the mountain bandits have developed to a thousand people, in order to prevent people from slipping through the net, your third uncle shouted to the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers did not dare to encircle and suppress, listen to your third uncle said only need to kill the fish that slipped through the net under the mountain before gladly going."
"That night, until dawn, thousands of bandits in the bandit village were killed by your third uncle with one person and one sword! Then he took the corpses of 5 or 6 of the bandit leaders, took them to the entrance of the village and burned them, wept for three days, and once again paid tribute to his parents and villagers before returning to the mountain."
"At that time, the officers and soldiers under the mountain only dared to look at it from a distance, and did not dare to look at your third uncle, your third uncle was like a demon king, and the murderous aura on his body was like a substance, and since then, he has also achieved the famous reputation of your third uncle."
"A month later, it will be the death day of your third uncle's parents. Your third uncle grew up in the mundane world, was filial to himself, and felt ashamed of his parents, and he would strive to return to his hometown to worship when he had time, a habit that lasted for nearly 600 years, but this time he didn't have time."
"Because in half a month, the thousand-year-old God Tomb Realm is about to open!"
"Your second uncle and third uncle are going to go, and they have been preparing since this time last year, and I am also helping them prepare this year, they are already waiting at the space crack, and they are too late to come back, and this year is not a big festival once in ten years, so I want to send you to pay tribute to the second elder on behalf of your third uncle, what do you think?"
"The father has a life, and the child should go on his own. What's more, the third uncle is my elder, and it is natural to go to pay tribute to the second honest", Xiao Daochen replied happily, and after listening to the third uncle's past, he didn't feel tears, and he also wanted to go and see.
