Haotian Continent, the southwest corner of the border, Xiaoqingzhou, the foot of Daqingshan Mountain.

"Three hundred and fifty-nine, three hundred and six, three hundred and sixty-one......," a childish voice came from a grove at the foot of the mountain. When I looked closely, I saw a child of eight or nine years old cutting down trees with a serious face.

The child was dressed as a warrior in strong clothes, with a snow leopard skin wrapped around his waist, and was holding a half-human tall stone axe at this time. The stone axe weighs about forty or fifty pounds, and it spins freely in the hands of children. As the child rhythmically reported the number, the stone axe slashed into a big tree hugged by six or seven people with a powerful force. This big tree is also strange, and a forty or fifty pound sharp blade stone axe can only leave a shallow white mark.

"Eight hundred and ninety-nine, nine hundred ......", the child was already drenched in sweat at this time, and in the mountains and forests in early autumn, bursts of white mist appeared above his head. At this time, although the pace of his cutting down of trees had slowed down slightly, he still looked resolute, as if in this child's heart, only this tree existed, and there was only one thing to do.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand! Phew~~, it's finally done!" the child sat on the ground and gasped for breath. He looked up at the sky and said to himself, "It's getting dark, and today I finished all my cultivation before my father came back." I caught a big fish when I was swimming in the water beforehand. It is estimated that my mother is about to stew, and when my father and brother come back, I will surprise them, hehe!"

Just as the child was thinking like this, a cheerful shout suddenly came from the mountain: "Lin Jiushan, Jiushan。。。。。。 Come and see what we've caught today!"

"Brother!"

It turned out that this nine-year-old child was called Lin Jiushan. I saw that he got up and ran towards the mountain, and when he was far away, he saw two figures, one large and one small, galloping towards him. The figure of that little dot is Lin Jiushan's elder brother Lin Jiuyan. I saw that he was eleven or twelve years old, wearing a dark blue warrior suit, with a black spear pinned to him, and he was struggling to wave towards Lin Jiushan at this time.

The tall figure behind is the child's father, Lin Dingyuan, who has deep eyes and also carries a big gun, carrying some mountain prey behind the gun. Lin Jiushan immediately greeted him, first nodded to his father, and was about to say hello, when he was pulled over by Lin Jiuyan: "Silly brother, what did we catch today?"

"Ah, isn't this the White Spirit Mink?" Lin Jiushan asked with a look of surprise. "Haha, brother, you remember it too. This white spirit marten is worth a lot of money, and we saw it in the county town last year. I'll tell you, this thing is very fast, and it's like an afterimage when it runs through the mountains. Now we can make a fortune! We will go to the county town again for the New Year's Festival this year, and we will ......."

"Okay, isn't it just an ordinary demon beast, useless for cultivation, and can only sell for some money. At this time, his father, Lin Dingyuan, stepped forward and said lightly: "Jiushan, have you completed today's cultivation?"

"It's done, Daddy. "Yes, okay. You are a little less spiritual than your eldest brother, and if you want to achieve something, you need to cultivate even harder. Gifted mediocre fathers have also seen a lot, and I want to 。。。。。。 back then Hey, forget it, let's go home. "Yes, father. The brothers looked at each other, spat out, and followed their father into the village.

Less than half a pillar of incense walking, a mountain village appeared in front of you. This village is called Gujia Village, the villagers are mostly surnamed Gu, their ancestors live at the foot of Daqing Mountain, rely on the mountain for a living, there are more than 30 families. At this time, it was already dark, and it was the scene of dinner, and it was a peaceful scene with smoke curling from all over the village.

"Haha, brother of the Lin family, did you go up the mountain to hunt again today?" Before entering the village, I heard a middle-aged man's deep voice coming from the entrance of the village. Lin Dingyuan smiled slightly and said, "Third Brother Gu, you are on duty at the entrance of the village today." I have some extra prey, you can bring it back. "Hi, man. My family is prosperous, there is food and drink, and there is no need for these. "That's okay, Third Brother Gu, I'll give these to those families." ”

After speaking, I saw Lin Dingyuan's big gun pick up, and a few prey fell from the head of the gun. The third brother Gu looked at the prey and didn't know what to remember, and sighed again and again: "Hey, Brother Lin, it's because you came to this Gujia Village a few years ago and drove away the demon beast." Otherwise, I don't know how many more men will die. You have taken such care of those widows who have lost their strong men all these years, hey, it is really the virtue accumulated by Gujia Village for many years. ”

When Lin Dingyuan heard this, he suddenly said with a serious face: "Third Brother Gu, where are you talking about this." When I came to Gujia Village more than ten years ago, I was seriously injured and confused. If it weren't for the relief of the villagers, it would have been gone a long time ago. I even got married with Yan'er here under the witness of the villagers, raising children, what are these trivial things?"

"Okay, Brother Lin. You are a master, it is our blessing to be able to stay in this Gujia Village all the time. Haha, don't delay you going back to dinner. I'm going to deliver something to them. ”

In the south of Gujia Village, on a high ground by the river, there are several wooden houses, a courtyard is surrounded by a fence around the wooden house, a few vegetable fields in the yard, and there is a martial arts training ground about 20 steps long and wide on the side of the vegetable field, which is Lin Jiushan's home. If you look closely, these wooden houses are built with the kind of giant trees that Lin Jiushan practiced axes on.

The father and son walked into the courtyard, and before they entered the door, they heard a childish voice chattering endlessly in the house: "Mother, you don't care about them." Daddy is coming back late, and I'm dying of hunger. Lin Dingyuan laughed and pushed the door in: "I'll see, who dares to orchestrate me behind my back." ”

Outside the door, Lin Jiushan and Lin Jiuyan looked at each other, and they also showed smiling faces. "See, brother, or sister is favored. Your elder brother and I are born and die every day to hunt for the family, and you also follow your father's requirements to work hard every day, but you can't compare to a few coquettish words from my little sister, which can make my father happy. ”

Lin Jiushan scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, but said, "Brother, father is not like this, let's hurry in." "Hehe, silly brother, you are so ordinary and serious when you are not yet nine years old, be careful that you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future." As he spoke, the brothers also entered the house.

Inside, a woman in her thirties helped her father change his clothes and wipe his face, while telling the children to sit down and prepare for dinner. This person is Lin Jiushan's mother, Chu Huiyan. Although she is just an ordinary peasant woman, her skin is white and fine, her face is not wrinkled, and her appearance is excellent, just like the aunts in Gujia Village sigh every time they come to the Lin family: Mrs. Lin is like a fairy who has gone down to the mortal world, with a fairy look.

The wooden house suddenly became lively, especially in recent years. There is a little sister Lin Feiyu in the family, don't look at it now, she is only six or seven years old, but she is a big ghost, and she is very clever, just like a chatter, as long as she opens her mouth, she will click and click. Lin Dingyuan also had a smile on his face.

"Yan'er, today I found a white spirit marten in the mountains, and the fur of this thing is the warmest. It's going to be cold, so I'll go to the city in a few days and buy you a robe, and use it to make a robe's collar, so you won't have to be cold again this winter. During the banquet, his father Lin Dingyuan said with a happy face.

When her mother Chu Huiyan heard this, she sneered and said, "Brother Yuan, I am also a person with cultivation, how can I be afraid of the cold." This thing happened to be sold, and it was only right to buy more strong herbs for the children. ”

Father Lin Dingyuan listened to his mother's words and sighed: "But Yan'er, I remember that you liked to wear these clothes the most in the past. It's just, hey, I've lost you all these years. The mother smiled quietly and said: "Brother Yuan, I can find you at the foot of Daqingshan Mountain, and accompany you every day, raising children, is the greatest happiness, what else is it." ”

Lin Dingyuan smiled at this time and said, "We won't always be in this mountain, and when the foundation of the children is laid, we will go out! ”

When Mother Lin heard this, her eyes lit up, and she asked hurriedly: "Brother Yuan, are you going to break through?" The father nodded and said, "Although I was seriously injured because of that incident, I lost another arm and delayed my cultivation for a few years. However, over the years, there has been less fame and fortune, but I have been able to calm down and re-sharpen my marksmanship. Recently, I feel that I have an opportunity to make a breakthrough in my cultivation. One day, I, Lin Dingyuan, will go out to find those people and ask why it was back then!"

Lin Jiushan was silently eating dinner while listening to his parents' narration, when a mosquito-like voice came from his sister Lin Feiyu: "What is this? Is this the sprinkled dog food mentioned in the play? and ...... in front of the children" When Lin Jiushan heard this, he almost choked on one breath and didn't dare to speak.

Father paused and continued: "Mourning, your marksmanship has already entered the realm of integration, and I have asked you to hunt with me in the past few months, hoping to let you understand the true meaning of marksmanship in the life-and-death struggle with demon beasts, and reach the realm of supernatural as soon as possible." Now that you have attained perfection in your cultivation, you are still far from breaking through to the acquired realm. In the future, you don't have to hunt anymore, you can retreat and cultivate the mental method, and strive to enter the early stage of the acquired realm as soon as possible. ”

Lin Jiu heard his father's command and replied, "Yes, father." ”

"You've been aura-like since you were a child, just like when I was younger. It's just that your physique is not good, in the final analysis, it was because you were just a few years old, and your father didn't have the energy to help you lay a good foundation, which delayed you. However, your sword is on the sidelines, relying on your spiritual energy to pass through the veins, and taking a smart path, but it is also your own creation. ”

"As for Shan'er and Xiaoyu, although they are young, they need to lay a good foundation. The first point of this foundation is to refine the body when it is in the realm of martial arts. The body is the foundation, and only when the body is strong can it be natural. Today, it's time to take the strengthening medicine again, and after nine weeks of running the mental method, you will take the medicine. ”

"Yes, Father. "Hee-hee, got it, Daddy. The three brothers and sisters replied in unison.
