The stout young man screamed strangely, and his free hand was still restlessly gesturing, as if he fantasized that he suddenly had earth-shaking power.

Ah Ran looked at his unambitious companion and couldn't laugh a little, and secretly complained to himself, could it be that you are bent on cultivating the Dao, just to carry the stone more easily?

Shaking his head, Ah Ran persuaded in his mouth: "Don't think about it, Cheng Xian asked this kind of thing, it is destined to have nothing to do with people like us." ”

It's true...... Missed out?

Pulling a heavy cart full of stones, the muscles on Ah Ran's sturdy body tensed one by one, and his eyes looked at the road ahead as if he were looking into the distance, his eyes were full of confusion.

I used to have such an opportunity!

It's just that...... A Ran's face showed a self-deprecating wry smile: Compared with the high-ranking immortal masters, he is just like an ant, and the casual promise he made at the beginning, presumably the nobles have long forgotten it.

At this moment, the companion next to him suddenly staggered, and the uneven strength made Ah Ran stumble under his feet, he frowned and looked at the side, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The sturdy young man didn't look at him at all, pointed to the air, and said in surprise: "Ah, Ah Ran, look, the immortal master ......."

Ah Ran followed the young man's point, looked into the air, and saw that under the clouds, a young man with an outstanding demeanor was slowly descending, looking in that direction, it was actually coming straight towards them.

After coming out of Wuyin Village, Chen Yuan flew all the way in the direction pointed by the village elder, and it didn't take long for him to see a mountain range that looked like a lying cow, presumably this was the bluestone mountain that the village old man said.

It's just that this mountain range seems to be quite extensive, so where should we go to find the children of those days?

Chen Yuanzheng hesitated, saw two people coming in a hurry, and thought to himself, just right, ask this local maybe you can get something.

Chen Yuan didn't have the stinky fart attitude that ordinary monks regarded the people as ants, and after the sword fell to the ground, Chen Yuan bowed and asked, "May I ask ......?"

However, at this moment, Chen Yuan's words suddenly stopped, and he looked at the two people opposite him with some doubts: Why did one of them look so familiar?

After Chen Yuan landed, the sturdy young man tugged at the corner of his companion's clothes and couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Ah Ran, have you seen it? Immortal Master, it's the first time I've seen a living monk when I've grown so big, you see, he also saluted us." ”

The young man's mouth could not suppress the excitement, he thought in his heart, I don't know what luck I have today, I actually saw a living monk, and this monk actually saluted them, this experience is enough for him to go back and show off, and blow it for a few years.

However, his companion did not seem to be affected by his excitement, and the stout young man looked back and saw that his companion was just standing there dumbfounded, without saying a word.

The young man whispered a little apprehensively and uneasily: "Ah Ran?"

Chen Yuan also looked at the younger boy in front of him with some confusion at this time, and asked, "...... are you?"

Although Chen Yuan's question was light, it was tantamount to a spring thunder exploding in Ah Ran's ears.

Ah Ran woke up suddenly, his whole body seemed to tremble because he was too excited, and even his voice trembled a little: "Immortal Master, have you finally come to me?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and asked in surprise: "Are you Tao, Tao Ran?"

Can't blame Chen Yuan for being clumsy, eight years ago, Tao Ran was just a child, but now that he has grown into a teenager, his appearance has changed greatly, and only a trace of the outline of the past has been left between the corners of his eyes, so even with Chen Yuan's eyesight, his identity cannot be confirmed for a while.

However, the situation on Tao Ran's side was a little different, due to his cultivation, Chen Yuan's appearance had basically not changed from eight years ago.

In addition, this figure appeared in his mind day and night, so as soon as Chen Yuanfu landed, Tao Ran recognized him.

The young man on the side was also completely stunned: This, what is the situation, listening to their conversation, it seems that this companion who has been with him for several years actually knows this immortal master?

Seeing that the immortal master was dressed in white and floating out of the dust, and the chest of the placket was embroidered with the pattern of distant mountains and clouds, this young man had also heard of it and knew that this was the unique symbol of the Holy Land Sect Ying Tianzong.

The question is, how did his companion recognize the big man?

It's just that no one will answer these doubts in his heart.

After confirming Tao Ran's identity, Chen Yuan's words were a little unnatural, and he said guiltily: "I'm sorry that I'm late, but the promise that should have been fulfilled three years ago has been delayed to this day due to some accidents." ”

Seeing the scene that he had been thinking about day and night appearing in front of him, Tao Ran was already so excited that he couldn't speak, but he just shook his head again and again.

"You...... What about my mother?" In fact, seeing Tao Ran's current appearance, Chen Yuan already had some kind of guess in his heart.

Sure enough, I only heard Tao Ran say gloomily: "My mother died three years ago. ”

Next, in Chen Yuan's inquiry, Tao Ran told his experience over the years.

Originally, Tao Ran and his mother were arranged by Prince Su to be supported by the nearby city lord, but unfortunately the city lord died of illness more than three years ago.

The new city lord didn't know about this festival, Tao Ran's motherly arrogance, coupled with the fact that he knew that his fate was not long, he didn't want to trouble others more, and insisted on moving back to Wuyin Village.

Tao Ran begged hard, so he had to agree to his mother's request.

After the mother and son moved back, Tao Ranniang didn't last long before she died, leaving Tao Ran alone.

In the last half a year of Tao Ranniang's life, because she was looking forward to a miracle, Tao Ran secretly sold her house and land just to let her mother last for a while longer, but unfortunately she was unable to return to heaven in the end.

Coupled with the burial expenses for his mother, Tao Ran not only sold all his family funds, but also owed a lot of money to the villagers.

It is said that he is the only one left in the world, and Tao Ran can walk away.

But he didn't choose to do this, but came to this bluestone mountain to do the hardest and most tiring work, just to be able to pay off the arrears of the villagers at night.

After Tao Ran's experience came out, Chen Yuan was also full of sighs.

He could imagine how many hardships he had to endure three years ago, when a thirteen-year-old boy had to keep his promise to take on those debts.

Chen Yuan sighed, and had secretly decided in his heart that he would rush to Tao Ran's character, even if his qualifications were not suitable for cultivation, he would accept him as a disciple.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan asked softly, "I came today to fulfill my promise." ”

"Tao Ran, can you follow me to cultivate and be my disciple?"

Tao Ran was overjoyed and fell to the ground.

But when he was about to bow his head and bow to the teacher, he suddenly stopped.

Gritting his teeth, Tao Ran hesitated, but finally said: "It is a great honor for the disciple to be favored by the immortal master, but there is one thing, the disciple does not dare to deceive ......."
