Tie Zhu sat on the side of the road in the village, looking at the blue sky, looking in a daze, Tie Zhu was not his real name, but because he was thin and weak since he was a child, his father was afraid that he would not be able to support him, so he called it according to custom.

His real name is Wang Lin, and the surname Wang is a big surname in several surrounding villages, and his ancestors were born as carpenters, especially in the county seat, and the Wang family is also quite famous, with several shops specializing in selling wood products.

Tiezhu's father was the second son of the family, and he could not take over the family affairs, but left the county seat after marriage and settled in the local village.

Because of his superb carpenter's work, Tiezhu's family is also well-off, and he does not have to worry about food and clothing, even in the village, he is also respected.

Tiezhu has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, likes to read, has a lot of ideas, and is almost recognized as a prodigy in the village, and every time his father hears a compliment from others, the wrinkles on his face will bloom and reveal a happy smile.

His mother cared for him even more, it can be said that from childhood to adulthood, Tie Zhu lived in the love of his parents, he knew that his parents had high expectations for him, and other people's children had already gone to the fields to do farm work at his age, but he was studying at home.

The more books he reads, the more ideas naturally follow, and he is full of yearning for the world outside the mountain village. Looking up at the end of the path, Tiezhu sighed, closed the book in his hand, got up and walked home.

My father sat in the courtyard, holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, took a deep breath, and then said to Tiezhu, who pushed the door in, "Tiezhu, how are you reading?"

Tie Zhu coped with a few words, his father knocked on the cigarette pouch, got up and said: "Tie Zhu, you have to study hard, next year is the county exam, whether you have any future or not, but it all depends on this time, don't be like me, stay in the village for the rest of your life, alas." ”

"Okay, you talk every day, if you want me to say, our iron pillar will definitely be able to pass the exam. Tie Zhu's mother put the food on the table in the courtyard and beckoned the father and son to come over for dinner.

Tie Zhu sighed, sat down and pulled out a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, and the mother looked at her son lovingly, and gave him a few pieces of meat.

"Dad, Fourth Uncle is coming soon, right?" said Tie Zhu, looking up.

"Calculate the time, it's almost these days, your fourth uncle is better than your father, alas, the child and mother, the wild vegetables prepared for the fourth child are all wrapped, right?" When the father mentioned the fourth child, his face showed a sigh.

Mother nodded, and said with emotion: "Tiezhu, your fourth uncle is a good person, thanks to his help in the past few years, the wood carving made by your father can be sold for a price, if you have a future in the future, don't forget to repay your fourth uncle." ”

As he was talking, suddenly there was the sound of horses outside the door, and then the rumbling of the carriage on the ground followed, and a hearty voice sounded outside.

"Second brother, open the door. ”

Tie Zhu was pleasantly surprised, and immediately ran over to push the gate of the yard open, only to see a sturdy middle-aged man, standing outside the door with blazing eyes, he smiled when he saw Tie Zhu, touched his head, and said with a smile: "Tie Zhu, I haven't seen it for half a year, and he has grown taller again." ”

Tiezhu's parents hurriedly stood up, and his father smiled: "Fourth, I'm about time, you're coming soon, come in, Tiezhu, don't go and get a stool for your fourth uncle." ”

Tie Zhu happily responded, hurriedly ran back to the house, took out a bench and put it next to the dining table, wiped it with his sleeve seriously, and looked at the middle-aged man expectantly.

The middle-aged man winked at him and quipped, "Tiezhu, why are you so diligent this time, I remember the last time I came, you weren't like this." ”

Tie Zhu's father glared at Tie Zhu, and scolded with a smile: "This little rabbit cub was just talking about whether you were coming soon." ”

The middle-aged man saw Tie Zhu's little face blushing slightly, and said with a smile: "Tie Zhu, your fourth uncle hasn't forgotten what he promised you." After speaking, he took out two thread-like books from his arms and put them on the table.

Tie Zhu cheered excitedly, picked up the book and flipped through it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Tie Zhu's mother glanced at her son kindly, and said to the middle-aged man: "Fourth, your brother usually talks about you, let's stay a few more days this time." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Second sister-in-law, there are a lot of things in the family these days, I have to rush back early tomorrow morning, and when this time is over, I will come to see you again." After speaking, he looked at his second brother apologetically.

Tiezhu's father sighed and said, "Don't listen to your sister-in-law, the fourth child, Ming'er will pack the goods, the family's affairs are the most important, and we will get together again in the future." ”

The middle-aged man looked at Tie Zhu's father and said, "Second brother, Tie Zhu is fifteen years old this year, right?"

Tiezhu's father nodded and said with emotion: "After the New Year, this little rabbit cub will be sixteen, alas, more than ten years have passed, it's really fast." As he spoke, he looked at his son with doting eyes.

The middle-aged man groaned a little, his face was solemn, and he said: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, tell you something, the Hengyue faction accepts disciples this year, and the family has three recommended places, and I have one here." ”

Tie Zhu's father was stunned, and said colorlessly: "Hengyue faction, but that Hengyue faction, which is all immortals?"

The middle-aged man smiled, nodded and said: "Second brother, it is the immortal sect, our family is also considered a wang clan in the vicinity, and there are recommended qualifications, my kid you know, you can't read, but he is good at dancing and making swords, I wonder if the immortals are not likely to accept my boy, this place is precious, I see that Tiezhu has been smart since he was a child, and he likes to read, maybe he can do it." ”

Tie Zhu's mother was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Fourth, this ...... This ......"

The middle-aged man touched Tie Zhu's head and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, I think this matter is so decided, let Tie Zhu try, if it is really collected, it will be his blessing." ”

Tie Zhu looked at his parents and fourth uncle in confusion, he couldn't understand what they said, immortals, what is an immortal? Tie Zhu hesitated for a moment, and asked softly.

The middle-aged man looked at the iron pillar with a serious face, and said: "Iron pillar, immortals can fly around in the sky, and each of them has great powers, not something that we mortals can ponder." ”

Tie Zhu was ignorant, and he had a trace of curiosity about the immortals.

Tie Zhu's father got up excitedly, pulled Tie Zhu's mother and was about to bow to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man hurriedly helped them up, and said sincerely: "Second brother, what are you doing." My mother died early, if it wasn't for Erniang taking care of me when I was a child, I wouldn't be where I am today, Tiezhu is my nephew, I should do this. ”

Tie Zhu's father shed tears with emotion, patted the middle-aged man heavily, nodded, and then said to Tie Zhu fiercely: "Wang Lin, remember, no matter what you do in the future, don't forget your fourth uncle's kindness to our family, otherwise I won't have you as a son!"

Tie Zhu's heart trembled, although he was still ignorant of immortals, but he could see from his parents' expressions that they attached great importance to this matter, so he knelt in front of the fourth uncle and kowtowed a few times.

The middle-aged man pulled up the iron pillar and said appreciatively: "Good boy, you clean up these days, I will pick you up at the end of the month!"

The next night, Tie Zhu went to bed early, and he could still hear the voices of his father and the fourth uncle in the yard, his father was very happy today, he rarely drank alcohol, and he said that he would have a few drinks with the fourth uncle.

"Immortal, what is it?" Tie Zhu was very excited in his heart, his young mind vaguely knew that this would be an opportunity for himself, an opportunity to go to the outside world!

The next morning, the fourth uncle left, Tie Zhu's parents pulled him all the way to the entrance of the village, on the way back, Tie Zhu clearly saw that his father seemed to be a lot younger all of a sudden, and his eyes were full of expectations.

This kind of expectant look is much heavier than when he was asked to take the county exam before.

There are no secrets at all in the small mountain village, even if a dog gives birth to a few cubs, it can spread throughout the village in an instant, and soon the whole village knows the news from the mouth of Tiezhu's mother, and they have come to visit, and everyone's eyes are different when they look at Tiezhu, some are envious, some are jealous......

"The Wang family gave birth to a good baby, and they were accepted as disciples by the Hengyue faction. ”

"I have watched Tiezhu grow up this kid since he was a child, this kid is smart when he is young, and this time he has become a disciple of the Hengyue faction, and he will definitely have a great future in the future. ”

"Tiezhu has the ability, don't forget our village when you come out in the future, come back and see it more." ”

Words like these poured into Tie Zhu's ears, and gradually said that he had become a disciple of the Hengyue Sect, and every time his parents heard it, they couldn't close their mouths with laughter, and the wrinkles on their faces seemed to be much less.

Whenever Tie Zhu walked alone in the village, all the villagers who saw him enthusiastically pulled him to ask questions, and even took Tie Zhu as an example and taught him in front of his own children.

Half a month passed quickly, and the news that Tie Zhu had become a disciple of the Hengyue Sect spread quickly, and the villagers from the surrounding ten miles and eight towns came to congratulate one after another, and their main purpose was to take a look at Tie Zhu.

When everyone came, they would prepare gifts, and Tiezhu's parents couldn't shirk it, so they accepted it. However, when these people leave, they will prepare a heavy return gift for them, according to the words of Tiezhu's father, our baby will be a high immortal in the future, and he can't let him owe so many human debts, all the visiting villagers, we will give him a return gift.

At this time, the clansmen of the Wang family gradually knew about the fourth child giving up his baby's place to Tiezhu, and they came to say goodbye one after another.

Tie Zhu's father attaches great importance to the clansmen of his family, many of these people looked down on him before, and even forced him out of the family many years ago, and now these people come to his house one by one, making him feel that the grievances of many years have been swept away.

He discussed it with Tiezhu and his mother, and was ready to entertain him, so he spent a lot of money and asked the village teacher to write an invitation and send it to the clan.

Mr. Teaching said that he didn't charge any money, but he just asked Tiezhu to admit that he had been studying here since he was a child, and Tiezhu didn't say anything about it, which is the truth.

After the invitation was delivered, most of the relatives in the Wang family came to celebrate, and because there were too many people, Tie Zhu's father chose the place of reception in the square in the center of the village, and set up hundreds of tables for the banquet.

The residents of the village helped to entertain themselves, and when they talked to each other, they all admired and praised the iron pillars.

As for Tie Zhu's father, he took his wife and children to greet him at the entrance of the village in person, and introduced the identity of his relatives to Tie Zhu one by one.

"This is your third grandfather, when my father left the family, your third grandfather secretly helped a lot, Tiezhu, you will remember the reward in the future. Tie Zhu's father supported a gray-haired old man and said to Wang Lin.

Tie Zhu hurriedly and obediently agreed, the old man looked at Tie Zhu, and said with emotion: "Second child, time is so fast, your dolls are so big, your baby is very good, better than you." ”

Tie Zhu's father was full of red light, and said with a smile: "Third grandfather, this kid Tie Zhu has been smart since he was a child, and he is designated to be better than me." You go slowly, child, and help the third grandfather over. ”

Tie Zhu's mother hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old man to the banquet.

After seeing the old man leave, Tie Zhu's father snorted and said to Tie Zhu: "This old guy, I didn't look down on your father at the beginning, so I had to force me away, but now Tie Zhu is out of breath, and you come to say hello again, this relative, that's it." ”

Tie Zhu nodded ignorantly and asked, "Dad, is the fourth uncle here today?"

Tiezhu's father shook his head and said, "Your fourth uncle has sent a letter, he can't come back from other places, and he can't rush back when he picks you up at the end of the month." ”

At this time, another carriage came running, and after stopping at the entrance of the village, an old man in his fifties walked out, he looked at Tiezhu's father, sighed lightly, and said, "Second child, congratulations." ”

Tiezhu's father had a complicated face, and after a long time, he said, "Big brother ......"

The old man swept his eyes, looked at the iron pillar, and said with a smile: "Second brother, this is your kid, yes, maybe he can really be selected this time." ”

Tiezhu's father frowned, then stretched out and said: "Tiezhu's kid has no advantages, he is smart and willing to study, and he will be selected this time." ”

"That's not necessarily, the Immortal Sect accepts disciples, the requirements are very strict, and it pays attention to whether there is a fairy fate, I think this kid is stupid, and it is useless to go. An arrogant voice came slowly, and a young man of sixteen or seventeen stepped out of the carriage.

The young man was handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like a crown of jade, and a look of contempt in his eyes.

Tie Zhu's father glared angrily, but Wang Lin looked at the other party deeply and did not speak.

The old man's face was pale, and he shouted: "Wang Zhuo, why are you so rude, this is your second uncle, this is your younger brother Wang Lin, and he is not polite." After speaking, he said to Tiezhu's father again: "The dog speaks ugly, don't mind the second child, but ......" Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "But the second one, this immortal accepts apprentices, it is not such a simple thing, you need to pay attention to fate, this time it is the Hengyue Sect Daoxu Shangxian who values the dog, which is why he is interested in my Wang family and gives three places, including the dog." ”

Tiezhu's father snorted and said, "Since your baby can do it, my baby will definitely be selected!"

The young man smiled shamefully, he didn't care about the old man's scolding at all, and said contemptuously: "You are the second uncle, I advise you not to think about it, this immortal cultivation system is almost the same, this stupid boy can't be compared with Young Master Ben, Ben Shao is a disciple who has been appointed by the immortal master, can he compare?"

The smug look on the old man's face flashed, and he reprimanded a few more words, hugged his fist at Tiezhu's father, and led the young man to the banquet.

"Tiezhu, don't be pressured, if you really don't get selected, it's nothing, and it's the same if you go to the county exam next year. Tie Zhu's father held back for a long time before he eased up and said earnestly.

Wang Lin's eyes were firm, and he said in a low voice: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely be selected!"

Tie Zhu's father patted his son on the shoulder gently, with an expectant look in his eyes.

Many relatives were greeted one after another, and Tiezhu's father finally took him back to the banquet, which was full of friends at this time, and the scene was very lively, and everyone celebrated with each other, bustling.

"Relatives in the clan, fathers and fellow villagers, my Wang Tianshui has no culture, and I can't say anything, but I am happy today, my baby has the opportunity to be selected as a disciple by the Hengyue faction this time, which is the happiest thing in my life, I won't say more, thank you for coming to me to say hello, thank you!" Tiezhu's father finished loudly, and picked up the wine glass.

"Second child, your doll has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she will definitely be selected to become an immortal like Wang Zhuo's child. ”

"Second brother, you have the child Tiezhu, this life is not in vain, just wait for happiness in the future. ”

"Tie Zhu, fight for your father, this time you have to enter the Hengyue faction no matter what. ”

The scene was very prosperous for a while, and the celebrations were everywhere, but secretly, there were many people with the mentality of watching the excitement, such as Wang Zhuo's father, that's the case, he congratulated on the surface, but in his heart he never looked down on this second brother, and even more so for his children, he looked at his own kid, and then looked at the iron pillar, and his heart was quite disapproving.

Life is varied, everyone here can be seen one by one, Tie Zhu's father pulled Tie Zhu, toasted from table to table, and introduced him to strange relatives one after another.

On this day, Tiezhu's father drank a lot of wine, he had never been so beautiful, until late, and his relatives left one after another. Before leaving, the young man Wang Zhuo still had that contemptuous expression, and whispered in Tiezhu's ear while people were not paying attention: "Silly boy, you won't be chosen, you don't have that piece of material." ”

With that, he smiled contemptuously and left with his father.

Back at home, Tiezhu lay on the bed, secretly deciding in his heart that no matter what, he would be chosen!

Half a month passed in a hurry, and on this day, the fourth uncle of Tiezhu came with a carriage.

Tie Zhu's parents hurriedly welcomed him into the room, and the middle-aged man washed his face and hurriedly said: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, I can't stay long this time, I will pick up Tie Zhu and leave immediately, and the Hengyue faction will come to pick up people early tomorrow morning." ”

Tie Zhu's father was stunned, his face showed a trace of reluctance, and he said decisively: "Okay, Tiezhu, follow your fourth uncle, you ...... If you are chosen, you will be in the Hengyue faction in a down-to-earth manner, if you are...... If you don't get chosen, don't be burdened and come home. ”

Tie Zhu looked at his parents reluctantly, nodded heavily, his mother took out a package from the room, and said lovingly: "Tie Zhu, go out to listen to the fourth uncle, don't make trouble, the outside is not better than the home, more forbearance in case of trouble, my mother has prepared a few new clothes for you, and your favorite baked sweet potato, my mother will miss you, if you are not selected, come back......" Tie Zhu's mother said and said, tears flowed.

Tie Zhu has never been out of the village since he was a child, and this is the first time he has left.

The fourth uncle sighed on the side and said, "Tiezhu, fight for your father and mother, you must be selected." Second brother, second sister-in-law, the family will have a large celebration in a few days, today is in a hurry, I will pick you up tomorrow, the three dolls of the family who were recommended to go up, there will be results at that time. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly got into the carriage with the iron pillar, whipped the horse, and drove away.

Tiezhu's father and mother kept looking at the vanishing carriage and burst into tears.

"His father, Tie Zhu has never left our side, will he be bullied when he goes out this time. Tie Zhu bit her lower lip, and her eyes showed reluctance.

"The dolls have grown up, and they have their own blessings......" Tiezhu's father picked up the cigarette pouch and took a deep breath, and the wrinkles on his face suddenly increased a lot.
