Chapter 4: Reminiscences of the Past
----------------
Ye Bai was born in the city of Jiangzhou in the Song Kingdom, his family is well-off, he can be regarded as a rich child, and because he is the eldest son in the family, he is even more favored.
Ye Bai's father was poor when he was young, and he was still a single person, and then he met a nobleman and came into contact with the private salt business, so he gradually started a family, and since then he has been out of control, and he married the daughter of the nobleman as his wife. The family fortune is getting bigger and bigger, and the heart is becoming more and more wild, and the concubine begged for room after room, so Ye Bai has two younger brothers and five younger sisters.
There are more people in the family, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts, Ye Bai's mother has been handling these trivial things all the year round, and her body has always been weak, so she couldn't afford to get sick, and in the spring when Ye Bai was fifteen years old, she left her hands.
Since that day, Ye Bai suddenly felt the fragility and impermanence of life, the sun and the moon rise and fall, the four seasons go and come back, and the lost life never comes back, so where is the meaning of life?
Ye Bai has since adopted his heart and cultivated his nature, concentrated on reading, and wanted to find an answer from the book, but unfortunately the Song Kingdom has never been famous for its prosperous literary style, Ye Bai studied for more than half a year, but did not get an answer, but he was interested in the immortal Taoism recorded in the book.
Since then, he has been wandering around the countryside and Taoist temples to seek immortals and ask, but in the red dust, where are the real cultivators, who have been in the middle of the exhibition for half a year, and the Tao has not been cultivated, but he has been cheated of a lot of money.
And the bad luck of the Ye family is not over here, doing private salt business, after all, is a livelihood to pin his head to the waistband of his trousers, Ye Bai's father was framed by competitors, and offended the officialdom, and was finally arrested by the government, the family property was confiscated, and he lost his head, not to mention, his wife and children were all sent to the frontier and displaced.
The sudden change in his family path, even his friends in his youth, all regarded him as a plague, and hid from afar, making Ye Bai change from a cheerful teenager to gloomy and silent, revealing a maturity that did not match his age.
On the way to exile, he was accustomed to seeing the sadness of life and death and the helplessness of saying goodbye, and his aunts and young brothers and sisters couldn't bear the hardships and died on the road one after another. In order to survive, Ye Bai had to compete with other prisoners almost every day for a little poor food, warm clothes, and a cynical heart became hard, cold, and ruthless.
Shijie showed this boy its hideous and cruel side, and Ye Bai only faced this shijie with a more hideous and cruel heart.
The flame of the Dao in Ye Bai's heart was burning under such circumstances.
The place where Ye Baifa went was Sanhe Town, a border town in the north of the Song Kingdom, and he had to pass through the Lianyun Mountains along the way. Of course, the team only marched on the outskirts of the mountain, but the treacherous terrain was scary enough.
On a stormy night, Ye Bai stabbed to death the drunken old soldier who was guarding with an iron chisel broken off from the candlestick, plunged headlong into the boundless Lianyun Mountain Range, and began the first wild run of his life.
In Lianyun Mountain, there is no road, Ye Bai is like a stupid boy wandering around in the mountains, drinking mountain springs when he is thirsty, eating wild fruits when he is hungry, and he has not been taken by wild beasts, he has already taken the luck of a dog. The most amazing thing is that he really wandered to the immortal road in front of the mountain gate of Lianyun Dao Sect in ignorance.
I have to say that in the dark, there is a providence.
The mountain gate of Lianyun Road is naturally not something that can be entered casually, Ye Bai walked over and over again, but he was always sent to the end of the road to seek immortals. Since then, Ye Bai has known that he is afraid that he has encountered the immortal family formation mentioned in the book. But the fairy fate is in front of you, if you can't get in, you won't be willing to die.
Ye Bai used the most stupid and direct method, kneeling on the stone slab at the head of the road, Ye Bai believed that on the other side of the mountain gate, someone must be watching him.
This kneeling is nine days and ten nights, for a teenager, this is really an unimaginable thing, but he used a strong will to survive until he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was already lying on the peak of the old tree, and he became the disciple of the "Imperial Sword Student" Buyuan among the seven sons of Lianyun.
Thinking of this, a self-deprecating smile flashed on Ye Bai's face, and he said to himself: "This is my way of being, I am ruthless enough to myself, and I must be ruthless to this shijie, because I want to live and live well." ”
The days of Lao Shufeng were not always very happy, after being identified by the teacher as having extremely poor qualifications, his perception of the vitality of heaven and earth was quite low, and the future of cultivation was extremely bleak, Ye Bai sank for a while. Fortunately, a few of his fellow disciples were still friendly, of course, except for the gentleman, the others encouraged him, and gradually made him come out of the shadows. After all, to be able to step into the immortal gate, it is already the ancestor who burned high incense, if he is greedy, it is time for thunder and thunder that day.
With a correct mentality, coupled with the teacher's careful teaching, and he was diligent enough, he continued to cultivate day and night, Ye Bai finally embarked on the right path on the road of cultivating immortals, and in three years, he cultivated the Lei Yuan Technique, which was passed down by the master, to the fifth level of qi refining.
Compared with the geniuses in the door, this speed is naturally much inferior, but it can be regarded as barely passing. In Bu Yuan's original words after hearing such a result, "Lao Tzu can finally go down the mountain and walk, and he no longer has to be afraid of being laughed at!"
Ye Bai's efforts were not in vain, the cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining also made him take the last train to the place of trial, this trial once every ten years is the most popular among the low-level disciples of Lianyun Dao Sect, everyone knows that in this independent space, there are countless heavenly and earthly treasures, and being able to get one or two kinds of refining pill magic weapons will be of great benefit to future cultivation, even if you can't use it, you can get a lot of rewards by handing it over to the master. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't get anything after entering, there is still a guaranteed harvest, that is, the unusually abundant heaven and earth aura, cultivating here has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
If it weren't for the fact that there were countless demon beasts rampant in this strange space, the successive generations of the Lianyun Dao Sect would even send all the disciples to experience it. It's a pity that according to the personal experience of the disciples of the past generations, at least the cultivation of the fifth level of qi refining must be required to be worthy of saving his life in it and giving it a chance.
After thinking about it again, Ye Bai finally made up his mind to sign up, since entering the Lianyun Dao Sect, he has seen countless high-ranking geniuses, he is no longer willing to be a person who is only a person, and has an almost fanatical desire for the improvement of strength, such an opportunity is definitely not to be missed.
After the door of the Thunderfall Abyss Realm was opened and all the disciples entered one after another, Ye Bai realized that he was outrageously wrong, there were indeed many blind spirit stones and spirit grasses, but in the blink of an eye, they were divided up by the genius senior brothers who used the law enforcement weapon, and a low-level disciple like Ye Bai was just cannon fodder to attract the attention of demon beasts. Ye Bai personally saw several outer disciples, and was forced to test those unknown places, but was devoured by demon beasts one by one, if it weren't for his name as a personal disciple of "Yu Jian Sheng" Bu Yuan, and with the support of his senior brothers, I am afraid that the end would be nothing more than this.
Every day, the resentment in Ye Bai's heart intensified, except for a few herbs of low efficacy that the senior brothers of Benfeng deliberately gave him, he didn't get anything more. Until the occurrence of the swamp accident, Ye Bai's fate finally ushered in a change.
Recalling all the previous events, Ye Bai was now almost certain that the huge change must have been caused by the thunder vitality cultivated in the bodies of the six of his senior brothers, maybe there were the corpses of Lao Shufeng's predecessors in the white bones around him, but unfortunately, no one had ever spread the news. It is even more unknown why this great change occurred.
Ye Bai's thoughts now are only one moment, survive and go out.
