Chapter 1 Miaotou Village
"There is a mother, there is no father, Fenghuo Forest, Yan Nanfei, Lin Shier, quack..."The two little girls clapped their little hands and hummed the well-known 'nursery rhyme' in Miaotou Village.
Not far from the little girl, several eleven or twelve-year-old teenagers pressed another teenager of the same age.
"Beat him up as a motherless wild. ”
After a burst of punches and kicks, the leading fat boy felt that the stuffiness in his heart had been relieved, and clapped his palms, and then led the other children to swagger away.
After a short while, the beaten boy staggered to his feet, and instead of checking his injuries, he eagerly opened the large pockets in his robe, which seemed to contain something extremely precious.
"Fortunately, it wasn't crushed, this is my sister's favorite mountain fruit. The boy muttered, remembering his little sister, and he smiled, revealing his white teeth.
The young man's facial features are upright, and his eyebrows are clear, but his skin is slightly dark, and his body is a little thin. Lin Shi'er is his alias, which means a child picked up from outside. His full name is actually Lin Nan, Fenghuo Forest, Autumn Goose Flying South, an injured and lonely wild goose screaming, which made Lin Laogen, who was hunting, see this abandoned child.
Lin Nan's family made a living from hunting, but this was before he was five years old, since that time Lin's father was attacked by a wild beast and bit off the meridians when he entered the mountain, the pillars of the family were crossed, and he could only rely on Lin's mother to weave some handicrafts to survive. And he also has a younger sister at home, named Lin Xun'er, who was also picked up by Lin's father in the Fenghuo Forest the following year.
After an interval of one year, a man and a woman were found, for the childless and daughterless Lin family is tantamount to a manifestation from heaven, the Buddha blesses, Lin's father, Lin's mother smiles every day, they think this is burning incense to worship the Buddha, pious prayer, the gods in the sky heard their prayers, and specially kicked the Lin family men and women a. For this reason, Father Lin also spent a few copper coins to let Uncle Li, the most literate person in Miaotou Village, name these two children.
As everyone knows, Uncle Li's Mobao waved, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced a few big characters, but it created an extraordinary life for the two children.
Lin Nan wiped off the dust on his little face and walked quickly towards the Maple Fire Cliff. And he had already said that he wanted to give his little sister a surprise, for this, he got up and went to the mountains to pick Lin Xun'er's favorite wild fruits, but on the way back, he accidentally met a few little overlords in Miaotou Village.
The fat boy in the lead is the grandson of the village chief of Miaotou Village, everyone calls him Huwa, and the rest of the people are his followers, dogs, Erniu and the like. In the countryside, they are worried that the name is too good, and it is easy to attract the jealousy of ghosts and gods, and they are afraid that ghosts and gods will take away children too soon, so they all choose another name in this way.
The bruises on Lin Nan's face made Lin Xun'er discover it when he saw it.
"Brother Lin Nan, Tiger Baby, are they bullying you again?" On the edge of the Maple Fire Cliff, a young girl combed two small pigtails, she blinked her big eyes, and her cheeks bulged slightly, looking a little angry.
"I accidentally bumped into them, I'll take a detour next time. Lin Nan shook his head and smiled wryly, not caring much.
"Hmph, next time they bully Brother Lin Nan again, I will definitely not let them go. Lin Xun'er clenched her little fists, looking a little indignant.
"Huh. ”
Seeing Lin Xun'er's little adult appearance, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh, and immediately, as if doing a trick, he handed the big bag full of mountain fruits from his arms to Lin Xun'er.
"Give. ”
"Mountain Fruit. ”
The moment it appeared in the pocket, Lin Xun'er cried out happily.
Lin Nan touched Lin Xun'er's head dotingly, and he felt very satisfied if he could make the latter happy.
Now in late autumn, there are many maple trees growing in the Maple Fire Cliff Valley, and the breeze blows, and the maple leaves are scattered, like clusters of flames falling in the air. On top of the boulder, two figures sat on their backs, laughing and laughing, reverberating lightly in the sky from time to time.
In the evening, an oil lamp in the thatched hut was hanging on the beam of the low house, and Mother Lin was serving rice on a square table.
Lin Nan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, and today he said that he has his favorite fried meat with bamboo shoots, which is already a rare delicacy for families who don't see meat a few times a month.
"Shi'er, are you fighting with the children of the village?" asked Father Lin, who was sitting opposite, at this time.
"It's not about Brother Lin Nan, it's the tiger babies who bully Brother Lin Nan. Lin Xun'er pursed her lips and took the first step to fight the grievances, afraid that her father would blame her.
Lin Nan held the bowl of Lao Gao, he grilled the rice hard, and his eyes did not dare to look directly at Father Lin.
"Xun'er, we don't blame Brother Lin Nan. Seeing Lin Xun'er on the side pursing her lips and not eating, Mother Lin spoke.
"The mouth grows on people's faces, and they say what they want to say, and it is their ability to be productive when they grow up. Father Lin reprimanded, and then was silent, Lin Nan's surname he knew quite well, obedient, honest, and never caused trouble. Since his meridians were torn, Lin Nan has been half a man in the family, holding up half of the sky, chopping wood, carrying water, and other heavy work.
This is really in response to the old saying, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early.
After a while, Father Lin suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, he seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed with a faint luster, and he looked a little excited.
"Tomorrow is the day when the immortals come to our village to select disciples, and both of you will go to the ancestral ancestral hall, you know?"
"Oh. ”
Lin Nan and Lin Xun'er responded, and then continued to pick up the shredded meat in the bowl and ate it with relish.
The immortal in Father Lin's mouth is actually the Qingxuanmen cultivator.
Don't look at the fact that there are only a few dozen families in Miaotou Village, there was a great figure hundreds of years ago, who was the founding patriarch of Qingxuanmen. It is said that this patriarch used to help people look at feng shui in Miaotou Village, occupy the hexagram, and later, occasionally got a strange book, he retreated at night to study, the red and white things in the village called him to calculate the son, he resigned, most of the villagers thought that he was evil, and over time everyone also forgot about this person. How do you know, decades have passed, this patriarch suddenly broke through, with a childish face and crane hair, long hair fluttering, he relied on his profound cultivation in the Central Plains martial arts to set off a blood rain, and then stood in Shu Mountain, founded Qingxuanmen, known as Qingxuan Zhenren.
When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Qingxuan Zhenren became an immortal, and once told that after ten years, Qingxuanmen would go to Miaotou Village, select Linggen children, and enter Qingxuanmen, and the rules he set have continued for hundreds of years. However, since then, there has been no Linggen Tongwa in Miaotou Village.
This year, Lin Nan is twelve years old, and Lin Xun'er is ten years old, just meeting the conditions for inclusion in Qingxuanmen.
Lin Nan didn't pay attention to tomorrow's big words, but the immortals in the mouths of adults made him a little curious. What do the immortals look like? smiling, with long beards and wide cuffs... He imagined the appearance of immortals in his mind.
