Chapter 1: The child locked in the attic

Next Chapter

In the northwest region of Zhongzhou, on Shengyun Mountain, the mountains and rocks are stacked, and the clouds are reflected. As early as 1,300 years ago, there were countless cultivators who came here, and after years of fighting, the factions here gradually unified, forming a unique "Zhenzhen School".

The Truth-only School takes the meaning of "the Great Dao is true", and its cultivation realm is even more unique and outstanding. Therefore, the Zhenzhen sect will be less than a few decades, and at most a hundred years, and there will be people who have attained great successes and ascended.

But in the past hundred years, some Western Taoist sects have settled in Zhongzhou, bringing some evil demons and demon methods to confuse mortals, and many people who are not dedicated to their minds have given up the Zhenzhen sect and left Shengyun Mountain. Although there are still many members of the Truth Sect, their strength is not as good as before. Therefore, in the past three hundred years, no one has succeeded in ascending.

Twenty years ago, the Aoki Daoist who was in charge of the Enlightenment Sect failed to ascend, but he suffered a thunderstorm, fell from the top of the green clouds, and turned into scorched earth, which became a joke in the cultivation world.

It is said that twenty years ago, Aoki Daoren, the Taoist method was outstanding, he once went down to Shengyun Mountain alone, took out the Chixiao Sword from the Burning Mountain, controlled the sword with Xuanbing, and killed Yanjiao. This Yanjiao is a demon seed refined into a human form. Its whole body is full of fire, its tail can break mountains and stones, its claws can destroy plants and trees, it is unstoppable, and everywhere it goes, it will harm one party.

After Aoki Michito killed Yan Jiao, he got a round and clear red bead, which he named "Red Flame Bead". The Aoki Daoist who obtained the Red Flame Bead has greatly increased his strength, surpassing the Qingyu Daoist who has cultivated above him. On a lonely night of the lamp, the people of Aoki Dao integrated the scorching Chixiao Sword into their bodies and entered the realm of the unity of human and sword. Aoki Dao people were overjoyed, thinking that they would soon be able to ascend, but they knew that a catastrophe was coming.

After the death of Aoki Michito, the quarryman took his place as the head of the sect. Zhang Muzhi, the left protector of the Weizhen Sect, and the incense master Yan Chucheng resigned, and took half of the congregation to leave, and the Weizhen Sect declined from then on. The entire sect has plummeted from more than 1,000 to more than 100 in more than a decade.

Seventeen years ago, a torrential rain suddenly came on Shengyun Mountain, which had never rained or snowed, and the gilded spire on the multi-treasure pagoda of Qingluan Dian, the symbol building of the Weizhen School, was shot down by lightning, and the people of the entire Weizhen School were panicked. The quarryman cast a spell on the altar, and he said for a long time, this thunder and lightning is a reminder that the spirit boy of the only true school has been born, and the direction of the drop of this spire is the place where the spirit child of the only true school was born.

The spirit boy has always placed the hope of the Truth School, and the birth of the Spirit Child means that the future of the Truth School has taken a turn for the better. But many people don't believe in the spirit boy anymore, because the Aoki Dao people who were scorched by the thunder were once the twelfth spirit children who were selected.

After dozens of days, they finally found a peasant child with a birthmark on his forehead in a small mountain village called Sleepless Village. The child's name is Zhu Xingchen.

Xingchen is just an ordinary peasant child, there is nothing extraordinary, he doesn't like to talk, but he loves to laugh. Because he loves to laugh, he looks stupid. Awakening not only did not give hope, but almost brought disaster to the Truth Sect.

Many sects know that the only true sect has found the reincarnated spirit child, if the reincarnated spirit child awakens to the dust and is cultivated by the quarryman, and stimulates his potential, the only true sect can glorify the lintel and determine the first true cultivation sect in Middle-earth. If the Truth Sect cannot make a comeback, the reincarnated spirit boy must die.

The Motianism in the southwest region of Central Continent is a sect imported from the West, and its obscenity and viciousness are also called the Demon Sect by people in the outside world, and it is also the biggest opponent of the Truth Sect. The one who came to kill Xingchen is also the most powerful figure in the Ferris Sect, although he is very famous, but no one knows his real name, only that his name is Hades Rakshasa.

No one has ever seen the face of the Khashasa because he always wears a mask with the face of a child depicted on it.

The Hades Rakshasa came to kill the reincarnated spirit boy Xingchen, which was expected by the quarryman. The quarryman can calculate, he doesn't need to pinch his fingers, and he calculates very accurately, if he calculates the time of the child, it will definitely not be the time of the child for more than a moment. But it's useless to calculate, no one in the entire Zhenzhen sect can protect Xingchen.

At that time, Xingchen was already three years old. After the meal, the moon rose and illuminated the courtyard very clearly. Caishi looked at the smirking Xingchen and said, "Child, you are still laughing, I guess you won't be able to spend tonight." The moonlight is so bright tonight, the Rakshasa will definitely come. "Although the Rakshasa is a member of the Celestial Sect, he has never killed people in secret. Because, he believes in his own strength, and he has never missed.

The quarryman places the waking dust in a wooden basin and places it in the center of the pool. The yard is huge, the pond is also huge, and lanterns are hung around the pond. The moonlight shone on Xingchen's body, and Xingchen reached out to catch the moonlight. But Xingchen didn't know that he couldn't catch the moonlight, it was clearly the cold light on the Hades Rakshasa sword.

This lightning-like sword seemed to be intercepted by an invisible sword aura, and the water surface of the pond instantly formed a layer of ice. The Dark Rakshasa smiled slightly, he knew that this was the Xuan Ice Array of the Quarryman, only to see him soar in the air, and as soon as he turned around, the sword in his hand flew out of his hand, shooting straight at the Quarryman hiding behind the tree. Quarryman's heart was startled, and he dodged the sword.

The quarryman only listened to the sound of clattering ice, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and the waking dust had fallen into the ice cave along with the wooden basin. The Dark Rakshasa also slipped away because his purpose had been achieved.

After Xingchen was rescued by the quarryman, he didn't die, but he was already dying, he had a big bloody handprint on his chest, and his face was frozen purple. The quarryman carried Xingchen into his room, and after a night, Xingchen was completely fine, and he was able to walk on the ground.

Others asked Xingchen what was going on, and Xingchen only said that he was forced to swallow a red bead by the quarryman. Undoubtedly, this child must have swallowed the red flame beads left by the Aoki Daoren. This matter passed like this, and the Hades Rakshasa never came again, not even the Ferris Sect, and no one mentioned the Hades Rakshasa as a person.

Fourteen years have passed, Xingchen is seventeen years old, he is taller than all his uncles, his face is not ugly, but he has a black birthmark on his forehead, and he doesn't like to talk, so he doesn't like girls.

There were also many girls in the Enlightenment School, some of them came from their own farms, and there were also children of wealthy merchants. Most of them are on the side of the Pill Pavilion, because these pills will be sent to the folk medicine shop for money. Because Xingchen is a reincarnated spirit child, he can't get close to these girls, so he can only watch from a distance in the attic.

When spring comes, the girls will gather by the pond to wash their clothes. Of course, they also noticed the young man in white who was watching from afar.

"Look, is the boy in white in front of the window the reincarnated spirit child?" a delicate woman in pink looked at Xingchen and suddenly said to the woman next to her.

"Well, he's also sorry for being so old, and he's been locked up in that attic. The woman in green next to her lowered her head and said while rubbing her clothes.

"But I heard that this reincarnated spirit boy is a waste, after so many years, he can't even collect qi, let alone refine his body......"

Xingchen saw them laughing, there was a feeling of being pricked by needles in his heart, he frowned, closed the window, and turned around and bumped into a girl's arms. The girl was a little younger than Xingchen, and she was also wearing a pink dress. She had a lovely smile.

"Brother Xingchen, why are you unhappy?" The girl's voice was very crisp and nice.

"Xiaotong, tell me, am I a waste?" Xingchen grabbed the hand of the girl named Xiaotong. Xiaotong is an orphan relative left behind by Aoki Daoren, a little granddaughter, and the person closest to Xingchen.

Xiao Tong was also at a loss when she heard Xingchen ask this, she didn't know how to say it, in her eyes, Xingchen had been working hard, but in cultivation, there was no progress, she just said: "Brother Xingchen, you have to work hard to cultivate, otherwise that red flame bead will be wasted." ”

Xingchen pushed Xiao Tong away and said, "Even sister, do you think I'm a waste of the Red Flame Bead?" I was so young at that time, who wanted to swallow that bead." If I had known that was the case, I would have died then. ”

Xiaotong sat on the ground, very aggrieved in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Xingchen, I didn't mean that." ”

"What, Xingchen, are you bullying Xiao Tong?" a bearded Taoist priest walked into the attic, pulled Xiao Tong up, and asked jokingly. He is a Jiuye Taoist, and he is also the oldest Taoist priest in this Shengyun Mountain, and many young Taoist priests respect him.

"I don't want to study anymore, I don't want to refine qi, you let me go, I'm not a spirit child, I'm nothing!" Xingchen pushed all the books on the bookcase to the ground, he had read all those books, but he couldn't use them, he felt like a fool.

"Silly boy, why are you so old and not sensible, you have to persevere, don't you know that your master will set up the altar and fly up tomorrow!" said slowly with a smile on his face.

"Ascension?" Xingchen dusted off the tears that had just flowed out, and asked happily, "Are you saying that my master quarryman can ascend?"

"Well," the Nine Leaves Daoist put his hands behind his back and looked at the Qingkong Dao outside the hall: "Twenty years, your master has been waiting for this day for twenty years, if he succeeds in his ascension this time, there will be eighty-one Daoists who have succeeded in our True Sect." If he had Chiyan Zhu, he might have soared more than ten years ago, how could he wait until today, it's all for you. ”

Xingchen's face was flushed with shame, he thought of the red flame bead in his body, and his heart was unspeakably uncomfortable, why was such a magical bead in his body, but there was no reaction at all?

The Jiuye Daoist had already walked out of the room, and he turned back to Xiao Tong and said, "Xiao Tong, let Brother Xingchen calm down for a while." ”

"No, I don't, I want to be with Brother Xingchen. Xiao Tong said with a small mouth, squatted down, and helped Xingchen pick up the books on the ground.

After a while, Xiao Tong heard Xingchen whisper: "Xiao Tong, can you help me get out of here?"

Xiaotong was shocked: "Brother Xingchen, what are you thinking about, how can you escape if there are so many guards here." Xiao Tong stretched out his head and looked at the tiger-eyed guards, these guys are not vegetarians.

Xiao Tong attached to Xingchen and whispered, "If you want to escape, you have to wait until the quarryman in charge of the quarryman ascends." ”
