Chapter 1: Guojia Town
At all times, the streets are crowded with people, and the sound of selling is endless, and the voices of people are boiling, which is the most lively time of the day.
In the distant streets, a thin and weak figure was suddenly seen walking slowly, and at this time, the people selling hip-hop on the street involuntarily made way for his figure, and many of them had a trace of panic on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost, and they were frightened away from this weak man;
It was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years of age, whose clothes were so tattered that his whole body was as thin as dry bones, and if he had been seen by someone he did not know at night, he might have suspected that he had encountered a dried corpse.
The young man's scorched face was almost dry, and since there was still a skin on it, one would not suspect that it was just dry bones. The sleek, scorched hair is like weeds that have dried up in autumn, and the eyes are hollow and stagnant like stagnant water, and they look lifeless.
His eyes were always fixed on the stone path beneath his feet, and he didn't have much strength to twist it, and his legs were moving mechanically, as if he was carrying a boulder, very heavy. The young man turned a blind eye to the talk of the pedestrians on the street, and allowed them to accuse and curse, as if he had become accustomed to it.
It is a small town with a population of about 1,000 people, and the Guo family is located in this town. Because the Guo family has a huge influence in the divine capital, it is also called Guojia Town.
The Guo family is an ancient and long-standing big family, with a long history and very ancient history, and is as famous as a few ancient families such as the Chen family, the Xia family, the Ouyang family, and the Nangong family in the Shendu Continent. Such a big family almost has thousands of members, and most of them are cultivators. There are countless cultivators with powerful power, and the head of the family is even more unfathomable. Each family occupies one side and has unique cultivation resources.
With such a big family, even the Xuanshen Kingdom, which rules the Shendu Continent, has to be polite and dare not provoke.
The Guo family has a transcendent status in the entire Xuanshen country, and in the vast Xuanshen country, almost no one knows about this ancient family, in the long history, the Guo family will appear every once in a while to cultivate to an extremely strong cultivator, and its power can shock the entire Shendu! From this, the Guo family has been prosperous for a long time, standing on the Shendu continent, and there is a faint tendency to despise the Quartet.
Guojia Town, originally just a barren grass land under the Yunwu Mountains, but because the ancestors of the Guo family took a fancy to Yunwu Mountain, and then established a home in this mountain, after countless years of growth, the Guo family became stronger and stronger, and gradually began to sell some medicinal materials or weapons and other things, and there were more and more people coming and going, and some businessmen moved here to do some business, and over time, Guojia Town was formed.
Although Guojiazhen has also experienced countless years of history, it has not grown much. Mainly because for many years, most of the people who come and go are some monks, almost all of these people come to the Guo family's medicinal materials or weapons, not many people will stay here for a long time, except for a few inns, some restaurants and some scattered merchants selling daily necessities and other commodities in the town, there are no other shops, no one dares to sell medicinal materials and weapons on the territory of the Guo family, so Guojia Town has only maintained the appearance of more than 1,000 people for a long time.
And this Cloud Mountain Range is actually the Guo family's private mountain, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter. Standing in Guojia Town, you can vaguely see the ethereal houses of Guo's family standing between the mountains, giving people a sense of nothingness and etherealism, which is like a fairyland on earth, and like a heavenly palace, which makes many people yearn for it.
The Cloud Mountain Range is composed of five peaks, the peak is only four or five hundred meters high, and for many years it has been shrouded in clouds and mist around the mountain, making it difficult for people to see through. Yunwu Mountain is more like a fairyland on earth, beautiful and magnificent, very charming, and the aura in the mountain is compelling, which can be described as a treasure land of feng shui. But for ordinary people, they can only look far away, and they can't go deep into it to feel the natural aura inside.
......
"Look, that's the eldest son of the four heads of the Guo family...... Hehehe...... It's a pity that it's been abandoned!hehe...... "A few young people gathered in a heap, looking at each other with their eyes talking and laughing, and looking very happy.
"The scourge is coming, go away, go home quickly!" some women nervously ran home dragging their children.
"Alas...... What a poor child, it seems that the prophecy is about to come true, this child's life breath is becoming more and more fragile, I don't know if it will last until twenty ......," some old men sighed.
......
Looking at this thin figure, some people ridiculed, some sympathized, some people watched the excitement, and some people seemed to be avoiding Wen Shen...... The warmth and coldness of the world may not be cared about at all, and he doesn't have much strength to care, because he has lived and grown up in this environment since he was a child.
A straight avenue was given way by the crowd, and the young man walked along it as if he had been instructed, his eyes always looking at his feet, without the slightest color. Many people wondered if he had really seen the road under his feet, and maybe not, but he had walked and walked back in this way and along the same path since he was a child, and few people had ever seen him go anywhere else, for few would accept and sell to him for fear that he would bring misfortune upon his own family, and no one of his age would play with him.
From the beginning to the end, most people only saw him walking down this road, which ended in a tofu shop at the end of the street. Perhaps even if he closes his eyes, he can walk this road that has been walked for more than ten years, since he was three years old and sensible, he has often walked along this seemingly close but long road, which can be called his special passage.
The rising sun stretched the figure so long that it seemed as if it was the only figure moving slowly along the street.
In front of the tofu shop sat an old man, with gray hair and a wrinkled face. He was over half a hundred years old and in his last years, and at this time, he was looking at the young man walking towards him with infinite pity with his eyes full of endless mulberry.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman flashed in front of him, and the middle-aged woman looked at the young man who was walking, and felt pity in her heart. She turned around and said, "Lao Yu, give me a piece of tofu." ”
The old man came back to his senses, took a piece of tofu and handed it to the middle-aged woman, but did not answer. The woman then said, "Lao Yu, you are so close to this child every day, aren't you afraid that you will also be infected with that strange disease?" The woman's words carried infinite melancholy, and it sounded like this was not her intention.
The old man who sells tofu is called Yu Changnian, he is an orphan since he was a child, has no relatives and no reason, and makes a living by selling some tofu, bean curd and other food, and now he is in his seventies, time is in a hurry, seventy years have passed, and now he is still lonely.
"Huh...... The old man is alone, and he is still afraid of this disease! I would rather the child's illness be transferred to the old man! Alas...... It's a pity that this kid ......" Yu Changnian didn't want to say any more, at this time, a trace of mist appeared in his muddy and old eyes, he looked up at the Yunwu Mountain in the distance, and sighed silently in his heart: "This child should be the pride of the sky, but it's a pity that ......"
"Alas...... This kid has been getting weaker and weaker lately, and he doesn't know what to do...... Alas, Lao Yu, you will give him this little rice, and I will go back first. The woman put a bag of rice on the tofu shop for Yu Changnian, turned and left, unable to bear to look at the young man in the distance again.
This young man was originally born in the Guo family, but due to an incurable strange disease, he was abandoned by the Guo family, and then his surname followed his adoptive mother's surname, named Su Chenfan.
"Uncle Yu!" The voice was low, as if it had taken a lot of effort to come out of my mouth.
