Chapter 40: A History of Suffering
Ah Huang didn't understand the last few words, what it means to marry Ah Jin to a sparse woman from the side branch, that is, he thinks that he is not a talent that can be created, so he wants to kick him away.
Ah Jin shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Let's put it this way, the words in the lingua franca of the star field, each has a separate meaning, and there are few double words to form a phrase, just like the names of people are all one word, the so-called family actually has two meanings, the family refers to the main family, but the clan refers to the side branch, so the main family has a family head, the side branch has a patriarch, and the Xie family is also its so-called."
"The origin of the Xie side branch is like this, the original side branch is mainly attached to the relatives, all named Xie clan name, and then gradually evolved into the so-called 'outer Xie', only relative to the main family 'inner Xie', but the daughter of the outer Xie is not married, can only recruit into the household, even if the man of the main family marries the daughter of the foreign relative.
"For so long, the people of the main family are getting stronger and stronger, survival of the fittest, the family can not be strong, there are more and more people in the side branches, only marry or not, how can there be not many people, but as the years go by, the problem of bias comes one after another, the main family Xie is more and more strong, but the number of people is getting smaller and smaller, many family houses on the cotton mountain have been empty, but the side branch Xie can only live around the mountain, more and more people, the place is becoming more and more insufficient, no matter how many houses are built, there must be a good location, who wants to live in remote and remote places?
"Although the qualifications of the people who recruit others are not good, but their descendants still have a lot of good seedlings with good roots and bones, although no one has ever formed a Yuan Baby, but there are not a few people who have formed a Dan, just like the Xie Zhong seen in the image, he is one of the best, he was able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Danhou Dacheng back then, and in the end he was only stuck in the breakthrough of the Great Perfection for many years.
"When the family history developed to my generation, the main family and the side branch finally had irreconcilable contradictions, the side branch relied on the population advantage, the quality of the descendants appeared frequently, the number of people who entered the innate is increasing, and the number of people who have the best qualifications Xie Zhong advanced to the Dan, the number of people above the side branch Jin Dan also exceeded the main family, the only Yuan Chu monk of the main family died, and the highest cultivation was only one Danzhong Dacheng, so Xie Zhong began to make difficulties, requiring that the side branches of the main family be separated, and the high-ranking people should live on the mountain, and the poor ones were expelled from the periphery to live.
"Of course, the master will never agree, the two sides will eventually evolve into a war against each other, just at that critical moment, I have an adventure, quickly cultivate and advance, and finally marry a baby, and I will naturally stop this ......riot after I have succeeded."
Ah Jin's words that intended to outline the outline made Ah Huang frown when he heard it, and he couldn't help but interject: "Hey, you are far away, saying that you were proposed by your uncle to a woman from the side branch." ”
"Uh," Ah Jin was choked by Ah Huang's words, and his voice suddenly suffocated, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, "Having said that, my adventure has to start from being proposed by my clan uncle and going to the door upside down to the woman of the side branch, thus suggesting that I am a waste of the eggs-
"At that time, there were capable people in the main family, who would go to the side branch to insert the door, only those who wanted to kick out, the kind of self-proclaimed hopeless, shallow foundation and poor roots, just like me at that time, in the eyes of the clan uncle, he proposed to me like this, saying that a side branch is still a sparse woman, let me enter the house and drive me out of the master's house The intention is obvious.
"When I was over 20 years old, I heard the proposal of the clan uncle, and refused on the spot, and said angrily that I wanted to leave the clan uncle's house and return to the old house that had been vacant for many years.
"When I returned to the old house with four walls, I couldn't advance to the fusion period after cultivating for more than ten years, and the first dilemma I encountered was that I was hungry, and the cultivators who could stay in the main house were all strong, or strong people in the future, who would be willing to give alms to a person who didn't even have a congenital hope of entering, I had no source of food, I didn't dare and couldn't go out to beg and steal, so I could only take advantage of the night to dig some potatoes and roots in the field that could be eaten raw.
"This thing is easy to have stomach trouble if you eat too much raw, and when it is serious, it can pull you dizzy and dizzy, and your limbs are weak, the main house is all on the cotton mountain, and the path up the mountain is very steep, and my family lives in the middle of nowhere, just near the edge of a cliff.
"One day, I was so hungry that I couldn't go and went to find something to eat, or ate a belly of wild sweet potatoes, and I had already achieved success on the way back, and I couldn't get home to go into the latrine, so I had to squat on the edge of the cliff and have diarrhea on the spot, and finally I couldn't even walk, and sat on a stone slab on the edge of the cliff for a long time to rest, and then I could stand up, and suddenly felt dizzy, and I was unsteady on my feet, and I suddenly rolled down the steep ravine near the left.
"At that time, a chilling feeling of suspension made my limbs cold, my abdomen twitched, and the blood in my whole body seemed to rush straight to my brain...... The shudder passed quickly, and I suddenly felt as if I was flying upwards in the air, but in fact, I was falling headfirst.
"I didn't fall high for a while, only a process of hanging in the air and falling more than ten feet, suddenly I stopped in the air, as if to freeze in some situation, looked down at the waist that was suddenly fastened, there was a long alloy chain of Cheng Liang, encircled me and couldn't fall, and then the long chain was retracted horizontally by a violent force, and I automatically flew into a breathable window on the edge of the cliff like a gallop.
"When I finally looked up when I collapsed into the air window, I saw a familiar but rarely seen middle-aged man's face, looking at me suspiciously, and opening his mouth to say, 'Tse, you're only looking for death now, aren't you a little late?'
"I didn't know why he asked like this at the time, so I honestly replied that I was not looking for death, but that I was weak and fell down the cliff and ditch, and he didn't believe it and asked again: 'Can a low-level cultivator like you have a weak body?' I had to go to the field to dig and eat when I had no food, and I told him all the reasons for this, because he was the Danchu Monk of the main family, Elder Haze, and the elder Zhuyu was in front of him, so I couldn't help but tell the truth.
"Elder Hazy looked very strange when he heard this, stared at me and looked at me, and only after a while did he say, 'It is a shame for the Lord family that the people of the main family have fallen into such a field,' and then went to fetch some simple food for me, and when I gobbled up food, he secretly looked at the stone room in front of me, which was actually not a stone room, but a hidden room made of steel sand mixed with rock and soil.
I quickly finished eating these foods, my stomach was round, and I stood up and was about to say thank you again to Elder Hazy, who had already walked back to the futon to meditate, when I suddenly found that beside him, there was a scroll with a very familiar appearance, which was an unknown object collected by my parents, and when it arrived in Elder Hazy's hands, when I left home when I was young, I did not see this scroll.
"I remember that my parents had picked it up from outside, saying that it had been thrown away by a tomb robber, and that my parents were passing by and that it was going to make their hearts skip a beat, so they picked it up and took it home to see what it was.
"I was still very young at the time, once I saw them holding the scroll upside down and looking through it, I felt very strange, just wanted to get closer to the past, I didn't think about it, the scroll suddenly vibrated in my father's hand, and flew straight towards me, so panicked that my parents and parents at the same time grabbed the scroll tightly, and then took out a few talismans, sealed it, and hid it in an iron box, and then thought that this thing would endanger me when I was young, so I never opened the iron box again.
"I was less than ten years old when my parents died, it is said that they died accidentally when they went to dig and collect materials for the family, and their parents' qualifications were average, and it took a hundred years to barely advance to the foundation after both building the foundation, and there was no progress since then, so they gave birth to me, and then they often went out to find raw gold materials for the family, and most of the time they fostered me in the clan uncle's house.
"At this time, I was in the hidden room of Elder Hazy, and when I saw the scroll again, I stood up in a trance, and walked over step by step, not even hearing what Elder Hazy said in surprise, until I felt a cold piece of metal stuck to my navel, and the feeling of coolness made me wake up.
"I opened my eyes wide and saw Elder Hazy circling around me, looking me up and down suspiciously, and I didn't dare to move, not knowing what was happening, when he suddenly stopped, leaned close to my face, and asked word by word, 'T, you answer me, is this scroll from your family ancestral or picked up?'
"I could only reply: 'Elder Hazy, the scroll was really picked up by my parents from outside, and I heard that it was thrown away by tomb robbers, and it is certainly not my family's ancestral heirloom, Elder, is it presented to you by my parents?'
"I saw Elder Hazy vaguely answer yes, and then I heard him mutter: 'Since it is a foreign thing, how can it be attached to your lower abdomen as if it is a foreign thing, it is really strange and ......', at this moment, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in the meridians of my whole body, and after a while, I fainted unconscious, I don't know how long it took to wake up, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Elder Hazy's surprised face.
"After all, I am a person who has been cultivating for more than ten years, and soon after I woke up, I found that I had advanced to the innate level, and I was overjoyed, although the advancement was inexplicable, at least I was no longer a waste, and I would not be hungry in the future, whether it was eating Bigu Dan or absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, it would allow me to live.
"Seeing that I suddenly had an inexplicable vision of building a foundation, Elder Hazy sometimes sat cross-legged on the futon and twisted his eyebrows to think about something, and sometimes came over to touch my pulse, I listened to his instructions to take a bath, and when I came back to the hidden room, I meditated beside him to consolidate the realm.
"Elder Hazy kept chanting in his mouth, 'Pure metallic, it turned out to be pure metal, providence or chance encounter?' After a day, I realized that my realm had been completely consolidated, and at the same time, I also found that there were some secrets inside, which were not suitable for outsiders to know, so I thanked Elder Hazy again, intending to say goodbye and leave, but Elder Hazy suddenly offered to accept me as a disciple!"
