Chapter 2: The Legends
Xianle Town, a small town located in the southernmost part of the Imperial Dynasty, is surrounded by mountains, the plants in the mountains are lush, and there is only a small road to the outside world. There are about 80 households in the town of Pen & Fun & Ge www.biquge.info each of which grows a variety of fruits and vegetables, and chickens and ducks can be seen everywhere on the muddy paths, happily eating the grains spilled by people on the ground. Dogs and children are playing in the streets, hawkers are shouting and selling on the streets, and the golden sunset is sprinkled on people's faces, making for a peaceful and harmonious scene.
On the way to the town, there were six children, supporting each other, moaning, and slowly walking into the town, somewhat inconsistent with this beautiful scenery, these six people were the six Xie Xuan who had just been taught by Jinbao by the small river outside the town.
"Xie Xuan, let's go home first, you go back by yourself, we don't want to see your grandfather, in case your grandfather sees us like this, maybe he will beat us together."
"Okay, when the pain on my body is no longer there tomorrow, I'll go to you, let's go to the back mountain to steal honey." Xie Xuan said
"Forget it, last time I found a beecomb, saying that I secretly took out the honey, but the result was good, you hit it with a stone, and we all suffered. A little friend looked at Xie Xuan with resentment.
"Haha... Last time it was an accident, who knew that the hornets were all in the nest and didn't go out! Okay, I'll go back, see you another day!"
After speaking, Xie Xuan left by himself, and everyone walked towards home. Being young is so innocent, even if you are beaten, but when you think of other fun things, the previous haze will immediately dissipate. But after walking a few steps, Xie Xuan sighed again, how can grandpa get over there for a while?
"Grandpa, I'm back"
Xie Xuan glanced at his grandfather, then lowered his head with both hands pulling at the corners of his clothes. Xie Xuan's grandfather is over seventy years old, he doesn't have much hair left, but he has a lot of beard, and he is gray and gray. Hunched back, the wrinkles on his face were like being cut by the dagger of time, many and deep.
"Enxuan'er is back, what's wrong with you?" Xie Xuan's grandfather was startled when he saw Xie Xuan, who was bruised and had blood at the corner of his mouth.
"I went out to play and accidentally fell. Xie Xuan lowered his head and whispered
"You fell, even if you rolled down the mountain, the injury on your body is not so serious, hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise I will use the family law!" As he spoke, Xie Xuan's grandfather took out a broom and looked at Xie Xuan, it was very easy to see through the child's lies.
"Uh... I said, I said, don't hit me, grandpa. I went to the river to play, and I saw the second son of the Jin family and stole his fish, and then his eldest brother came and beat me."
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, his back was covered with sweat, and he thought that his grandfather would definitely beat me if he was miserable, but after waiting for a while, grandpa just sighed, so he raised his head curiously
I saw that grandpa watched Xie Xuan slowly sit on the chair in the small courtyard, put the broom aside, looked at Xie Xuan with love in his eyes, and said slowly, "Grandpa won't beat you, come here, our family is poor, but if you want to eat fish, just tell grandpa, grandpa will catch it and bring it back for you to eat, why do you bother?"
Xie Xuan slowly walked to his grandfather's side and knelt in front of his grandfather. "Grandpa, I just can't get used to the young master of the Jin family, he robs me and Erdan every day, you said that his family is so rich, why do you still rob us of things? “
Grandpa pulled Xie Xuan up and hugged him to his lap, and looked at Xie Xuan with love, "Xuan'er, there is nothing wrong with what you did, but as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, the Jin family is flying in the town and doing whatever they want, and the government is colluding with them, what can we ordinary people do about it? In case you really anger the son of the Jin family, what happened to you in charge of the Jin family, what can you do to your grandfather." After saying that, grandpa's tears flowed, for him, Xie Xuan was all the motivation for him to survive, and he didn't dare to think about whether he would continue to live if Xie Xuan was gone, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person.
"Grandpa, don't cry, Xuan'er promises not to cause trouble for you in the future, let's eat, I'm hungry" Xie Xuan wiped his tears for his grandfather, his heart was sour. A ten-year-old child doesn't understand the worries and concerns of adults at all, but when he sees his closest people crying, he wants to cry too.
"Okay, okay, let's eat," Grandpa laughed.
Xie Xuan helped his grandfather walk towards the house. There was only a bed, two stools, a stove and a few iron basins in the room, and nothing else, it could really be said that there were four walls of the house, and the mattresses on the bed were all blackened, and I don't know how long it had not been washed, and each iron basin had one or two iron patches on it, and two of them had been deformed.
Xie Xuan helped his grandfather sit on the stool, took out two hard buns from the pot, and scooped out a little vegetable from a jar next to the stove, which was celery soaked in salted water, basically there was no other fragrance except for the salt. Xie Xuan gave his grandfather a bun, then divided his bun in two, gave half of it to his grandfather, and took half of it and nibbled on half of it, smiling at his grandfather while gnawing on it.
After eating, Xie Xuan took the broken bowl with vegetables to the well in the courtyard and washed it, and his grandfather sat on a chair in the courtyard and looked at the sky. In the imperial dynasty in March, the flowers were in full bloom and everything was recovering, but the sky was still a little cool, Xie Xuan took out a coat from the house, draped it on his grandfather, and then moved out a small bench and sat down next to his grandfather, looked at his grandfather with his chin in his hands and said, "Grandpa, continue to tell me stories"
Grandpa looked at Xie Xuan and smiled, and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you the story outside our town." It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, there were no human beings on the earth, the great god of Pangu held a giant axe to open the world, Nuwa Niangniang saw such a vibrant earth whim, then created human beings, and endowed human beings with intelligent wisdom, and later praised the father day by day, Hou Yi raised a bow to shoot the golden crow, the five major Rui beasts and the four fierce beasts appeared in the sky, the divine beast Qinglong, the white tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu were well known to everyone, and many chivalrous warriors and sects in the rivers and lakes were looking for their traces in various places. Legend has it that when these ancient gods and ancient beasts perished, the hair and teeth on their bodies turned into thousands of peerless divine soldiers scattered all over the world, and aspiring heroes and masters have set foot in various dangerous places to find, even if they just get one, they can stand between heaven and earth and become the king of the world, but there are also many people who have died because of this, because there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, who can dare to say that they can be invincible in the world after having a peerless divine weapon? Therefore, many people are looking for the great sect and religion in this world, hoping to be fated to enter the secret book of practicing martial arts, coupled with the power of divine weapons, in order to become a real hero."
"Then grandpa, where are the divine soldiers left behind by these ancient gods? I also want one, and I can protect you by becoming a big hero in the future. “
"Hahahaha, Xuan'er really has great ambitions. Legend has it that these divine weapons are scattered in various places on the earth, lakes, and oceans, and if you want to encounter and possess them, you still need a coincidence, and you can't just walk around the mountains to see them, the more dangerous the place, the more likely you are to have these powerful weapons. “
"Grandpa, have you ever seen a divine soldier?"
Xie Xuan's grandfather narrowed his eyes after hearing this, as if he had fallen into a deep memory, and only opened his mouth after a long time: "The old man has lived for more than seventy years, and has experienced countless flowers blooming and falling, and he has only seen one, which is a gilded ancient knife that your father got by chance, the blade exudes a faint black light, and the handle of the knife is a black crystal, your father waved it a few times at will, everything was shocked, there were flocks of birds in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the powerful sword power made it difficult for ordinary people to breathe." Grandpa Xie Xuan said as if he saw Xie Xuan's father wielding a knife, his eyes were full of passion and shock, and even his voice trembled slightly.
"What happened to Grandpa, where did my parents go?"
"Hey, then your parents disappeared, I don't know where they went, it's been ten years, and there has been no news. As he spoke, Grandpa's eyes slowly darkened, and he felt ten years older in an instant.
Seeing this, Xie Xuan immediately changed the topic, he didn't want to make his grandfather sad, "Grandpa, after listening to the story, let's sleep." ”
"Well, well, it's late at night, and it's time to go to sleep. “
Xie Xuan immediately stood up and helped his grandfather to go back to the house, when suddenly the people in the yard were beaten a few times, and someone outside shouted, "Hurry up and open the door! Don't blame me for smashing the door open!"
Xie Xuan heard that the secret saying was not good, and this voice was the voice of Jin Bao, the eldest son of the Jin family during the day. So his face turned cold, and he slowly walked over and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Jin Bao, Jin Ruiwan, and more than 20 family members rushed in with torches. Jin Ruiwan, who was the leader, laughed and said, "Xie Xuan, I said, let you guys stay in this town for no longer! Do you think you'll be fine when you come back? Tell you, this is just the beginning! Hahahaha!"
Xie Xuan stretched out his hands and protected his grandfather, looked at Jin Ruiwan viciously and said, "What do you want to do!?
