A horse-drawn carriage slowly approached from the mountain road.

The cart is not large, the decoration is very simple, and the cart is pulled by a thin black horse with little spirit, and the four hooves are the size of a bowl, and it can be seen that although this horse does not sell well, the pedigree is precious.

But the most peculiar thing is that this carriage does not have a coachman.

The thin horse "has to go" trotting on the mountain road, every time it encounters a fork in the road, in the air above the horse's head, there will be a faint light, condensed into a sini, a slight turn, pointing to a certain intersection, the thin horse will obediently walk up.

The inside of the carriage was surprisingly spacious, which did not match the size of the carriage.

There were only two Taoist priests in the car, the older one meditated cross-legged, and the younger one was a little irritable, and from time to time he lifted the curtain of the second chapter of the immortal master to look out. The scenery in the mountains is good, but the Taoist priest has seen too much and is not interested.

On such a bumpy mountain road, the car is even more stable than a boat.

"Senior brother, did a natural disaster really befall Lianhuatai Village two years ago, but why haven't you heard that this village has suffered a disaster?"

The meditating senior brother slowly opened his eyes: "The news I got from the door should not be wrong. It's wrong, it's nothing if you and I run for nothing. If it is true, then it may be possible to gain a genius disciple, and the credit of you and me is not small. ”

The young Taoist priest suddenly sneered: "Hehe, no one thought two years ago that that natural disaster would actually bring so much gold and jade to the cultivation realm!"

The senior brother also sighed: "Indeed, in the place where every meteorite landed, a good seedling with a Huigen was found, and there may not have been a top ten Huigen in the past ten years, how can there be seven or eight this time, no wonder those old-timers from various sects and factions are trying their best to search every place where the meteorite fell." ”

"No one thought that a disaster would become an opportunity for the entire cultivation world, and they didn't expect that the demon cultivator would send a supreme master to infiltrate the Great Sui and secretly collect those good seedlings of cultivation Chapter 2 Immortal Master Comes West. ”

"Yes, I heard that the seven major factions have sent people to snipe the demon cultivators, but the results are not very good. ”

"Hmph, the demon cultivators sent out are all strong people in the realm of real people, and the seven major factions can only make up a few real people in total......?

The two chatted in the car about what they had seen in the cultivation realm, and they were not worried at all about how to win the trust of the villagers of Lotus Terrace.

The young Taoist looked outside the car: "Senior brother, it seems to be almost there." ”

The senior brother nodded slightly, poked his two fingers into the void, and a yellow paper spirit rune appeared out of thin air, with a cloud painted with bright red cinnabar.

He pinched the mantra in his hand, recited the incantation silently in his mouth, his fingers shook suddenly, and he shouted: "Go!"

The yellow paper spirit rune suddenly exploded into a cloud of light, and after expanding, it enveloped the entire carriage and rose into the sky. The lean horse twisted its neck and neighed, its hooves flew in the air, and the carriage flew towards Lianhuatai Village with a whistling wind.

......

Just as the young Taoist priest Chongpu and his senior brother Chongzhao expected, the carriage of the two flew to Lianhuatai Village, and sure enough, the foolish people in the mountains and fields were afraid, knelt down to greet them, and respectfully invited the two to go down.

In the mansion of the Tamura chief's family, Chongzhao sat still, and Chongpu simply said what he meant.

Hearing that the "immortals" were going to choose successors in their own village, the village chief and several old people in the village were so excited that they almost fell ill.

The whole village exploded: this is an immortal apprentice, if he can be selected, it will be a step to the sky, and it is much more promising than participating in any imperial examination!

Therefore, in less than a meal, all the men and women under the age of fifteen in the village gathered outside the door of the village chief's house.

Before this, Chief Tamura personally held a good wine, poured it for the two immortals, and asked with a smile: "Two immortals, this ...... Xiao Lao'er has a reluctant request, I wonder if the two of you can see how Xiao'er is first?"

Chongpu Daoist didn't dare to make decisions on his own, and looked at his senior brother. Chongzhao Daoist asked, "Before we came here, we heard that there was an outstanding talent in the village, but I don't know whose child it was?"

Tamura couldn't help but laugh, and arched his hand at the two: "Haha, it's the dog." ”

"Oh?" The two glanced at each other, Chongzhao didn't dare to hold it up, bowed slightly, and said, "In this way, naturally invite the son to come in first." ”

"Okay...... good" Tian Mura Chang agreed again and again, and soon led his son Tian Yingdong in.

Tian Yingdong is no longer the lazy appearance of two years ago when he was pulling a group of idle village teenagers and making fun of Sun Li's name.

With great wisdom and the great name of a talented man, he is now quite generous in his gestures.

Seeing the two of them, although he knew that the two of them were extraordinary, he also advanced and retreated, and bowed slightly: "Student Tian Yingdong, I have seen two masters. ”

Chong Pu looked at his senior brother expectantly, Chong Zhao's hands in the sleeves of his robe, pinched a magic trick, and in the pupils of his left eye, a circle of golden light turned, faint and almost imperceptible.

"Senior brother, how is it?"

Chongzhao showed a smile on his face, was extremely polite to Tian Yingdong, and got up to greet him: "Tian Gongzi, please take a seat, I'm afraid that we will have to talk about each other in the future." ”

Tian Yingdong and Chongpu were surprised together!

"Two masters, so my family Yingdong passed?"

Chongpu also asked, "Senior brother, what is going on?"

Chongzhao said: "Tian Gongzi naturally passed. And he is full of aura, but he is also one of the top ten wisdom roots. However, my Qi Observation Technique is still shallow, and what kind of wisdom root it is will only be known after a detailed examination. ”

When he said this, he answered the questions of Chief Tamura and his junior brother together.

Tamura was overjoyed, and he pulled his son and was about to kneel: "Yingdong, come and thank the two masters for their great kindness." ”

Chongzhao and his junior brother hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up: "Don't do it, this can kill our senior brother." ”

Tian Yingdong has already determined that he has ten great wisdom roots, no matter which kind of wisdom root, as long as he enters, he will definitely be a personal disciple in the future, and his status is still above Chongzhao and Chongpu, and the two of them will never dare to hold up in front of Tian Yingdong at this time.

Tian Village Chief pulled Tian Yingdong to toast the two of them again, and the two of them didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to drink together.

At this time, Chongzhao and Chongpu seemed to have forgotten the people outside the house, and they talked to Tian Yingdong very enthusiastically about various stories in the cultivation realm.

The two had a good friendship with Tian Yingdong, so they naturally lowered their figures. Tie up Tian Yingdong, the future personal disciple, and do it without a trace, which leaves a good impression on Tian Yingdong, but does not appear to be a philistine, and his methods are extremely clever.

......

Sun Li stood in the middle of the crowd, followed by his younger brother Sun Chun.

Like everyone else, they had been waiting outside the house as if they had been forgotten.

After the time of the meal, some people became impatient, and gradually let out some dissatisfied voices. Sun Chun tugged his brother's hand: "Brother, what are they doing inside, it sounds like they are very happy." ”

Sun Li still stood still: "Don't worry. ”

If you want to say what is the biggest change that the voice in his head has brought to Sun Li in the past two years, it is calmness, which far surpasses the calmness of his peers - if it weren't for this, I am afraid that I would have been tossed crazy by that voice a long time ago.

He can suppress Sun Chun, but he doesn't have to care about others.

The criticism grew louder and louder, and finally the people inside were aware of it.

The Chongzhao brothers and the Tian father and son had already drunk the hot noodles, and when the two felt that the relationship with Tian Yingdong was almost stretched, they slapped their heads and said: "Oh, let Elder Tian laugh, and Senior Brother Tian hated to see each other late, but it delayed the business." Let's go, Senior Brother Tian will go out with us to see if there are any other materials that can be made in this Lianhuatai Village. What kind of Huigen is Senior Brother Tian also happened to check out together. ”

Tian Yingdong was extremely excited in his heart, although he was very confident in himself, but he had also heard people say that cultivating immortals was an ethereal thing. It's not that if you're smart and clever, you'll definitely be able to cultivate immortals, it seems that immortals have some harsh requirements.

In fact, when he came in, his heart was far from being as calm as it seemed on the surface. And after learning that he was selected, he was even more ecstatic, and after a long talk with the two Taoist brothers, he drank a little too much unconsciously.

The four of them went out, and the two Taoist masters were fine, and after a moment of luck, the wine was steaming, and they had returned to normal. Tian's father and son were blushing and thick-necked.

Seeing the two immortals come out, the discussion finally quieted down.

Chongzhao and the others are approachable in front of Tian Yingdong, but they don't have to pretend in the face of these mountain children. The two glanced around lightly, Chongzhao still had the technique of dark luck and qi observation, and he already knew it, and he couldn't help but be surprised lightly.

Chongpu asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Chongzhao shook his head slightly: "I didn't expect there to be another person here who can be cultivated." Although the qualifications are average, you can also enter the immortal gate. ”

Chongpu was also surprised: "Really? It's such a coincidence." In a small mountain village, there are two people who are qualified. ”

In the past, the sect chose disciples, not to mention a small mountain village, even a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it may not be possible to find a qualified one. In a small mountain village with hundreds of people like Lianhuatai, there were actually two at a time, no wonder they were surprised.

Chongzhao waved his hand: "If you are willing to participate in the test, line up first and come one by one." ”

Chongzhao and the two asked the village chief Tian to send someone to bring a table and put it in the courtyard, Chongzhao had the intention to deter these village children, and still raised his hand, and grabbed a jade Ruyi from the void.

Sure enough, the previous criticism disappeared, and all the people showed incredible looks on their faces.

Sun Chun was also dumbfounded, the little guy who had never even been out of the village, how could he have ever seen such an immortal method?

But a voice suddenly popped out of Sun Li's mind, full of disdain: "The lowest storage bag, I'm embarrassed to take it out and show off." ”

Sun Li wondered in his heart: "Storage bag?"

The voice immediately said: "The full name should be 'Little Mixed Element Void Formation Independent Storage Space', the storage bag and storage ring are just shapes, and the specific principle is to use the formation to grab an independent space that drifts in the endless void......"

The voice was extremely detailed, but unfortunately Sun Li couldn't understand it at all.

After a while, the voice seemed to understand, and he complained in disappointment: "Play the piano to the cow!"

The other voice, who was always arguing with him, burst into a gloating laugh.

"Ahh

There was an exclamation, Sun Li looked forward, and in front of the long line, Tian Yingdong had already started the test first. He was sticking the jade ruyi to the center of his eyebrows, and a brilliant light was projected from the jade ruyi, condensing into one to four colors in front of him!

Chongzhao hurriedly said: "Red, blue, white and green! This is ...... Among the top ten Hui roots, the Bao Liuhui root that focuses on magic is congratulated! Congratulations to Senior Brother Tian!"

Baoliu Huigen is among the top ten famous Huigen, and it is also at the top. Chongzhao Daoist changed his words directly in front of everyone.

Chief Tamura was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. Tian Yingdong pretended to be calm and made the genius full of style, but persuaded his father: "Dad, although he has Huigen, his future achievements still depend on the efforts of Hai Boy." ”

Chongpu was happy and envious, but he glanced at the rest of the people coldly, and they let Tian Yingdong take the lead in the test, so that these people could understand that Tian Yingdong was qualified to let them wait outside!

At this time, Tamura Chang remembered the people around him, and said, "The two immortal masters, are you starting to test for others?"

"Good. Chongzhao waved his hand at the first person: "You come, do what Senior Brother Tian did just now." ”

The boy was only eleven years old from the Li family in the east of the village, and he was extremely nervous and full of expectations. stepped forward and put Yu Ruyi on the center of his eyebrows, but Yu Ruyi did not react at all.

After a while, Chongzhao impatiently ballized: "Failure, next!"

The Li family kid retreated in great disappointment.

Next, there was no one who could make Yu Ruyi shine, and before he knew it, Sun Li was almost there.

His younger brother Sun Chun was behind him, clenching his little fists nervously: "Brother, do you think I can do it?"

Sun Li smiled, but did not answer.

Finally it was Sun Li's turn, but the people around him didn't pay much attention.

These children are all clever, and they can vaguely guess from Tian Yingdong's performance, but I am afraid that the smarter the person, the greater the possibility of passing.

Sun Li has been unknown since he was a child, and no one in the entire village will pay attention to him except for his father and mother, and the master's evaluation of him has never been high, how can such a person pass the test?

Their attention was on the third child of the Li family behind Sun Chun.

There are three surnames in the village: Tian, Li, and Sun. Before Tian Yingdong, the third child of the Li family had always been the first disciple in the eyes of the master. If there is anyone else who is likely to pass the test, it must be the third child of the Li family.

Sun Li stepped forward, Chongzhao's face was flat: "Let's start." ”

Sun Li picked up the jade Ruyi and pasted it on his eyebrows.

Just when everyone was waiting for him to be drunk and it was the turn of the third child of the Li family, a ray of light suddenly appeared on Yu Ruyi. The light is not strong, and there is only a faint gold, which is far less than the momentum of Tian Yingdong's four-color rainbow, but Yu Ruyi's is indeed lit up!

"Ah......h

The children were surprised, and even the village chief didn't expect that Sun Li, who had always been inconspicuous in the village, would be able to pass the test.

Chongzhao and Chongpu were not surprised, and nodded lightly: "Pass the test." ”

"Brother, you passed, haha, you passed!" Sun Chun was overjoyed, and threw himself into Sun Li's arms and shouted.

The first few who were brushed down couldn't help but be jealous in their hearts, but they were all in the same village, so it was hard to say, but they felt in their hearts that these two brothers were compared with Tian Yingdong and made a judgment.

In fact, it's just that Sun Chun is happy for Sun Li, but Sun Li himself is really calm, and this result is not surprising to him.

Sun Li touched his brother's head: "Don't make trouble, it's your turn." ”

"Hmm!" Sun Chun went confidently, but the result was disappointing. And in the later tests, no one was able to pass.

If only Sun Li passed the test in Lianhuatai Village, such a harvest would be acceptable to the Chongzhao brothers. In that case, Sun Li will become the focus of everyone. But now, Chongzhao just nodded at him lightly: "Go back and prepare, we'll leave tomorrow." Then he went into the house with a smile on his face and Tian Yingdong and his son to talk.

The children dispersed in twos and threes, still because of Tian Yingdong's radiant light, and Sun Li, who also passed the test, did not attract people's attention, and no one came to talk. It's just that his younger brother Sun Chun is happy for him one by one, and he keeps talking on the road.

Sun Chun said something, and Sun Li didn't listen to it at all.

After passing the test, Sun Li vaguely felt that he seemed to be following an invisible trajectory and embarking on the road that seemed inevitable to him.

After the initial faint joy passed, he suddenly realized: this time, I don't know when I will come back. The sound and smile of his parents came to mind, and his nose suddenly became sour. He grabbed his younger brother, and Sun Chun looked at the somewhat fierce brother who was solemn with some surprise: "Brother?"

"Second brother, my brother is gone, and my father and mother will be left to you to take care of!"

Sun Chun suddenly grew up all of a sudden, nodded vigorously, straightened up and was still a little thin: "Brother, don't worry!"

Sun Li habitually rubbed his younger brother's hair, and suddenly realized that maybe for a long time in the future, he would not have the opportunity to be so intimate with his younger brother.

Sun Chun walked home first, and Sun Li sighed quietly behind him.

Suddenly, a voice exploded in his head: "Boy, why are you cultivating?!"

Sun Li was slightly stunned: Why do you want to cultivate?

The voice continued, "Do you know that tomorrow is gone, and I don't know when it will be returned." It is very likely that by the time you return to your hometown, your parents and relatives will all be a piece of loess, and even this Lianhuatai Village will be turned into rubble. ”

"Why are you cultivating, do you think it's worth it?"

Why do I cultivate?

Sun Li was also thinking. Recalling that when Chief Tamura went door-to-door to inform everyone to go to the test, Sun Li was not excited or ecstatic at that time, but felt very plainly: It's coming.

What's coming?

He couldn't explain it clearly.

He has been neglected since he was a child, and it seems that no one other than his parents and brothers will pay attention to such a teenager. However, Sun Li has always known that deep down, he is different from those children in the same village!

Is it worth it to practice away from home?

He looked at his younger brother who was trotting along the narrow road in the village in front of him, and suddenly smiled:

I have my own path.

Here's the answer.

"If you can achieve something in the future, you can bring your family with you, it's better than letting them just be mediocre people in this life, and then fall into the six realms of reincarnation, and I don't know if it's a human or a ghost in the next life, right?"

"I just want to practice. ”

There was a stiff stubbornness in his voice.

There was only silence in my mind.

"Hahaha!" Suddenly the two voices laughed together, Sun Li was in pain, and his head seemed to explode.

"What do you think?" the two voices asked together.

The third being remained silent, silent as a silent void.

The other two voices were used to it, and when they saw that there was no response, they began to talk to themselves.

"Although the qualifications are average, the Dao heart is as solid as a rock, okay. ”

"Dao Heart?" Sun Li was puzzled.

Among the two voices, one of them said lazily: "Luo Huan, you explain to the little guy what Dao Heart is." ”

Luo Huan was furious and scolded: "Phew, Wu Yao, you don't know how thick the sky is, why do you order me?"

Wu Yao was like a cannon fight, and he became angry as soon as he teased him: "You are a good teacher, what's wrong with you to explain? You still have to quarrel with Lao Tzu about this bit of......

“......”

"Boy, what is the Dao Heart? After you get started, remember, don't listen to those fools fooling you. What bullshit Taoism is actually very simple, it just depends on whether your cultivation heart is firm or not. You kid, your qualifications are a big problem, but Daoxin, it's absolutely fine. ”

Sun Li Moran: Is this a compliment or a denunciation?

......

When Sun Li entered the door, Sun Chun had already told the good news.

Sun Li's father and mother looked happy, and the father patted his son on the shoulder: "Good boy, Dad knows that you must be promising! Over the years, Dad has always told the people in the village that my son has the ability, but they just don't believe it, haha, what's the matter, now I'm dumbfounded!"

The mother was also beaming: "Ali, you passed the test, but you gave our grandparents face." When my mother went out later, when she saw those concubines, her waist could stand up......"

The father dragged Sun Li: "Go, go and put incense on the ancestral tablet, thank the ancestors for their blessing!"

"Yes, yes, Ali, go. If you want me to say, it's all good feng shui for our ancestral tomb......"

Worship ancestors This kind of thing mother can not participate, Sun Li father and son lit incense, kowtowed piety, father chanted words, and his face was still a little red, obviously Sun Li was able to be selected by the immortals, and his father felt that the lintel was glorious, and he raised such a son, worthy of his ancestors.

After the incense, the father's calloused hand waved: "Mother, but tidy up for the child and bring some delicious food." ”

"Okay. ”

Mother said yes and hurried away.

It was nothing more than a few clean clothes, and after his mother finished packing up her clothes, she hurriedly boiled eggs and bacon to bring them to him.

My father moved a ladder up to the beams of the hall and pulled out a small, locked box from a hole in the bricks. When I took it down and opened it, there was a silver ingot weighing ten taels and some broken silver.

The father gritted his teeth, stuffed the ingots to Sun Li, and left them in pieces.

"Bring it, I don't know if it works, it's better than nothing. ”

Sun Li was stunned for a moment, and his father waved his hand casually: "Most of it is also the money from the sale of the medicine you picked, collect it quickly." ”

The fragrance wafted out from the kitchen, and Sun Chun was on the side, drooling greedily.

The mother was busy adding firewood to the stove and pulling the bellows. A puff of smoke came out, and the mother's eyes turned red, and she quietly wiped a handful of tears.

I didn't want to stop crying, so my mother covered her mouth and hid behind the stove and cried.

"Mother, why are you crying, didn't you tell your father that this is a great event for our family?" Sun Chun asked ignorantly.

In the hall, my father slapped the table angrily: "What are you crying for! useless girls! How many people in the village can't hope for it, you wait, those who have returned to our family will regret it......"

The father waved his hand vigorously, and his eyes were already red with a brass bell-like squint, but he just endured it.

Sun Li knelt down and kowtowed to his parents three times. I only felt choked in my throat, like a ball of wet cotton, and I wanted to say something, but there was something wrong with my mouth. He quickly turned around and rushed back to his house and closed the door.

Wiping away a handful of tears, his hand inadvertently touched the three stone figures in his pocket.

In the past two years, he has always carried the three stone figures with him, and when no one is around, he takes them out and rubs them, and the surface of the stone figures has been extremely smooth.

"Boy, you have thought about it, if you want to cultivate the Tao, there will be many such partings in the future. The two ways of immortals and mortals may be the eternal separation of heaven and man!"

Sun Li gritted his teeth fiercely, and for a long time, he said with difficulty: "I understand." ”！！！
