Chapter 1 Forced to the Immortal Mountain
The story takes place in a place called Taixuanguo. It's a huge place, and no one knows how big the country is. It's just a rumor that this is too Xuanguo, from the south to the north, the four seasons are different.
There are a whole hundred and eight states in Taixuan, and our story starts from Jingzhou in the south of Taixuan.
......
In a low, small mud hut, there was a loud noise, including a high-pitched female voice, the sound of smoking a dry cigarette, and the crying of several little dolls in fright
First of all, the female voice is the most attractive, there is a feeling of playing with life, the female voice said:
"Tian Laoba, if Tian Qing doesn't leave today, my mother won't live with you this day!"
As Tian Laoba is a middle-aged man, he squatted on the ground, holding a cigarette stick in one hand and smoking, the other hand clenched into a fist, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.
The female voice is a young woman around twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a slightly more beautiful face, but the Yin Tang is extremely narrow, and the cheekbones are exposed, this is a scathing face, she saw Tian Laoba's silent appearance, and her heart was even more angry, thinking about what happened to her two years after marrying him, and suddenly this nest of fire became the "three hangings" in the "one crying, two troubles, and three hangings"!
"Okay, you're an old killer! Pretend to be deaf and dumb with the old lady! Marry a man, dress and eat, the old lady married you at a young age, until now, you use your fingers to make a gesture, the old lady has eaten a few decent meals! And the clothes on your body don't dare to go out of this broken door to see people! In front of you, you also gave birth to three bloodlines in front of your Lao Tian family. You have no conscience, my mother is not alive!"
After that, she tore off her belt, climbed onto the table with her feet, and hung the belt on the beam, condescendingly, looking at Tian Laoba with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression. The three full moon-old dolls lying on the bed also seemed to feel their mother's mood, and their cries became even more awe-inspiring.
The middle-aged man, who had been silent for a long time, took a puff of dry tobacco and finally spoke: "Qing'er will be able to participate in the examination this autumn to gain the fame of Xiucai, and Mr. Teaching said that Qing'er has great talent and will definitely be able to take the test." Zhenzhen, my Tian Laoba promises that smashing the pot and selling iron can also make you eat."
"You old killer, who believes your nonsense, this kid has clearly grown up to be like you, a farmer! Mr. Teaching said this in order to coax you with money! Besides, how could Wen Quxing be blind and give birth to this little bastard! Tian Laoba, don't daydream! The old lady will hang herself and die in front of you!" Seeing that the middle-aged man still refused to agree to her request, the young woman jumped up and scolded, and then plunged into the hanging rope and glared at Tian Laoba fiercely.
Tian Laoba's face turned red for a while when he heard this, this had completely touched his manly dignity, he finally couldn't hold back the stuffy fire in his heart, shouted, stood up suddenly, slashed down the sickle on the wall, his hands kept shaking, obviously he was so angry that he couldn't do it, he held the sickle in his left hand, and the cigarette stick in his right hand kept trembling and pointed at the young woman and said: "You want to die, okay, then I will fulfill you!
The young woman was shocked, how could she have the idea of really dying, it was better to die than to live, she was just pretending to be dead. Unexpectedly, her husband, who was obedient to her on weekdays and never angry with her rudeness and willfulness, wanted to change someone today, and he really wanted to kill her!
It seems that you can't drive honest people to a dead end, don't die in silence, kill people in silence......
Tian Laoba's honest face was distorted to the extreme, looking extremely hideous, step by step close to the mean young woman, the young woman was so frightened that she fell off the table, 'poof' fell to the ground, because of the fright, she couldn't care about the pain caused by the fall, she lay on the ground, kicked the ground with both feet, and kept curling back.
And Tian Laoba, he is pressing step by step, the sickle is raised above the top, and he is about to cut it down.
A family tragedy is about to happen.
In the earth house, there is also a young man who is silent with Tian Laoba. The boy was fourteen years old, with a fair complexion and a slightly delicate appearance. Oh, and the bookish smell that comes with reading for a long time.
Tian Laoba is the father of the teenager. When the young man saw his father's actions like this, he was in a hurry, and jumped up quickly, blocking between the two.
"Dad, Erniang is in a hurry, you must not act recklessly!"
"Don't interject, let me chop this slut first," the middle-aged man yelled.
"Dad, follow that group of Taoists, it's a big deal to return to the vulgar after four or five years, and you won't be able to delay the examination for fame."
"You're reading and reading your brains, right! Those Taoist people will take you away with a hundred taels of silver, and such a good thing can also be put on our stall? These people are Jianghu warlocks, and they want to use the parts on your body to refine evil medicine! Qing'er, you can read your book at ease, now I have slaughtered this slut first, and I can still carry this family!"
Seeing that his father insisted on this, the young man knelt down in front of him with his knees bent, and said, "Dad, how can you read a bad brain, it is a blessing or a curse, it is a curse that cannot be avoided, if these people are really legendary warlocks, how can you stop them! Not to mention that we ordinary people, even if we cut our bodies and sell meat, it is impossible to be worth a hundred taels, not to mention that you really killed Erniang, and you can't hide from the lawsuit, how can I study with peace of mind and gain fame?" Now that the three younger brothers are breastfeeding, Qing'er knows that the year is not good, I want to go to study again, how can you support them at the same time!"
Tian Laoba saw that his son said these words, his heart was not good, he was stunned for a long time, and threw the sickle on the ground in a somewhat decadent manner, he re-lit the cigarette stick, took a slow breath, and then said very weakly: "Go! It's my father's inability,"
After the man finished speaking, he slapped himself twice.
The boy felt so uncomfortable to see his father do this, he went to the bedside and touched the little heads of his three half-brothers, and then went into the back room and packed his luggage.
To tell the truth, the young man didn't have any luggage to pack, he had a total of two clothes, one in summer and one in winter, and it was the beginning of spring at this time, wearing winter clothes, and summer clothes were also set inside. These two clothes were bought by his father for himself in order to make himself study in the county seat decently, and the only books he packed were the two books he regarded as his life.
The boy stopped staying, glanced at his father in a daze, and turned his head to leave.
Seeing that the young man was about to leave, Tian Laoba stood up from the ground suddenly, grabbed the young man's arm, and said word by word, "Qing'er, you must be careful of these people, they can't give us silver for nothing!"
The boy glanced back at his father, nodded, gritted his teeth, pushed open the door and walked out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The boy's name is Tian Qing, and when his mother gave birth to him, he died of dystocia. His father, Tian Laoba, sent him to a private school in the county seat to study since he was a child. It wasn't until Tian Qing was twelve years old that Tian Laoba married another woman. Tian Laoba was in the prime of life, and the family's food and clothing were not a problem, but they never expected that this woman would give birth to three sons and triplets, and the family that could still have food and clothing instantly became overstretched.
But though the woman complains, she will not be forced to die.
Until two hours ago, it happened.
On this day, Tian Qing came back from the county school to help his father plough the fields, and at noon, Tian Qing went home thirsty to get water.
Unexpectedly, on the road in the village, there was a large group of people gathered around, as if they were watching something interesting.
Tian teenagers are naturally curious and get into the crowd.
It turned out that the three young Taoist priests who were surrounded.
They claimed to recruit disciples for the sect, and promised to accept them as disciples and give thirty taels of silver to subsidize their families, but they needed to accept disciples with the condition that they had to drip their blood on a small mirror-type object in their hands, and only those who met the conditions could worship in the mountains.
Those Taoist priests saw Tian Qing squeezing in, and said to him, "Little brother, your age is just right, why don't you try it?"
Tian Qing had never been in contact with these people, and although he was on guard, he couldn't help the urging of curiosity, he gently bit his fingertips and dripped a drop of red blood onto the small mirror-like object.
I saw that the blood dripped onto the mirror, and it seeped into it instantly, this mirror was unusually smooth, it should be impermeable, how could the blood seep in? Tian Qing was curious, and suddenly the mirror lit up with a burst of white light, and then a small lightning-shaped pattern appeared in the center of the mirror.
When the three Taoist priests saw this pattern, they were shocked, and hurriedly pulled Tian Qing aside, saying that they would let Tian Qing follow them as Taoist priests.
Tian Qing was extremely stunned at the moment, and he was in a fog.
He didn't take the test, why did he become a Taoist?
Tian Qing hurriedly refused, but the three Taoist priests were willing to let him, holding down Tian Qing and not letting him go.
The people in the village who were watching the excitement hurriedly ran to the ground, found Tian Laoba, and told him about it.
Tian Laoba was also shocked and hurriedly found Tian Qing.
The three Taoist priests tried every means to dissuade them, and even raised the subsidy fee of thirty taels to one hundred.
And Tian Laoba is an honest farmer, he knows that there is no merit and no luck, and the world can't easily smash the pie on his head, so he recognized that the Taoist priests in front of him are charlatans who are abducted and deceived, no matter how the Taoist priest persuades, Tian Laoba just doesn't agree.
The three Taoist priests stalked and beat each other, Tian Laoba's face was horizontal, and without saying a word, he dragged Tian Qing home.
Seeing this, the three Taoist priests were very helpless, took out a crumpled piece of yellow paper, and whispered a few words to the yellow paper, but the yellow paper flashed and turned directly into ashes.
The Taoist priest who took out the yellow paper was not disappointed when he saw that the yellow paper was burned, but was overjoyed.
Then they followed Tian Laoba and Tian Qing's father and son closely, and did not stop until the gate of Tian Qing's courtyard.
The three then remained motionless, as if waiting for something.
This matter should have ended, but in a blink of an eye, Tian Laoba's wife knew, this is a terrible thing, a hundred taels of silver!
So there is the scene at the beginning of the story, "one crying, two troubles, three hangings"
Back to the point.
Tian Qing packed his luggage and pushed open the wooden door of his yard, only to see three faces come up at once, looking at Tian Qing with a grin.
These three faces are the three Taoist priests. The three Taoist priests were also very young, the younger one was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the eldest was only in his early twenties.
Tian Qing originally hated these Taoist priests very much, and when he saw their expressions, he was immediately furious, and said with a cold face: "Have you heard enough of the jokes?"
Seeing that Tian Qing was angry, the leading Taoist priest still smiled and said, "Where, where, the three of us are going to go in to save people, we can't make trouble in my brother's family because of recruiting disciples!
"Then the hundred taels of silver you promised," Tian Qing said coldly.
"Hehe, I forgot about that," said the leading Taoist priest.
I saw the Taoist priest pat the pocket on his waist, reversed it with one hand, and suddenly a big silver bump appeared in his hand.
Tian Qing was stunned by this trick-like technique, and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Take it quickly, take it quickly" The Taoist priest was not surprised when he saw Tian Qing's actions, and said with a nonchalant expression.
Tian Qing carefully took the silver, carefully observed it for a long time, and finally confirmed that this piece of pimple was really silver, and gradually let go of the heart that was originally hanging. Tian Qing was originally worried that these people were charlatans, but since it was determined that the silver was true, this conjecture would be self-defeating.
Judging from the fact that the person in front of him did not hesitate to give him the silver, and there was no trace of pain on his face, it seems that he may really have the talent to be a Taoist priest.
"Forget it, just take it, it's a big deal to sneak out of the Taoist temple in a few years, and you can still continue to gain fame and fame, and glorify your ancestors" Tian Qing calculated his future plans in his mind, he didn't want to stay in the Taoist temple for a lifetime.
Tian Qing returned to the house and handed over the silver to his father. Walked out.
The head Taoist priest said to Tian Qing, "Since the elder brother has agreed, then we are the same brothers, and the elder brother will call you Senior Brother Tian, you can call me Senior Brother Sun, the elder brother has notified Uncle Ma, and Uncle Ma will personally come to pick you up for a while, and I will wait for a while at the entrance of the village." ”
The four of them came to the entrance of the village. Waiting is most of the day,
Tian Qing began to be impatient in his heart, glanced at Senior Brother Sun, and was about to ask how long he would have to wait, but Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Sun's face showed a little excitement, and he looked up at the sky in the distance.
Subsequently, a scene that made Tian Qing stunned appeared.
I saw a small black dot appear in the sky in the distance, and the small black dot went from far to near, from small to large. After a few breaths, Tian Qing finally saw the appearance of the small black dot clearly.
This is actually a small boat made of white jade, floating in the air.
On the boat stood a white-haired old Taoist, who held a simple dust, his eyes were blazing, his expression was elegant, and he was on the top of a turtle.
What a Daoist immortal!
"You, you, are you immortals?" Tian Qing grew his mouth,
"Haha, we are naturally not immortals, but in the eyes of ordinary people, we are almost the same as immortals!" Senior Brother Sun snorted and said.
As soon as he spoke, the boat landed, and the old fairy on it walked out of the boat and said to Senior Brother Sun with some eagerness: "This is that child from Lei Linggen?"
"Uncle Qiyu, this is the son!" said Senior Brother Sun with a straight face.
"Okay, you wait for the wisdom to recognize the talent, the old man has a bottle of Qi Gathering Disperse here, you can take it and divide it!" The old fairy took out a small bottle from his arms, threw it to Senior Brother Sun, and said.
"Uncle Xie" The three of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and said.
"Okay, the old man will stay for a short time, you can continue to complete the task of recruiting disciples in the door! If you meet Lei Linggen's disciples again, continue to use the transmission note to inform the old man," the old fairy said.
"Yes!" replied in unison.
