Immortal Sword Cultivation

Chapter 1: Troubled times and youth

The setting sun slowly sets, and the whole world will slowly change between white and black.

   On the ground, there is a well, and there is a boy by the well.

  The boy was dressed in coarse linen, with fluffy hair, dressed as a beggar. But occasionally from the eyes leaking from the hair, you can see the helplessness, sadness and deep determination of the young man, hope...

  "Cuckoo" The boy picked up the water from the bowl and drank it in one gulp. There was a ruin beside the boy, and the ashes from the fire were still visible. Looking everywhere, there are the same ruined walls. Occasionally, a plume of cooking smoke, the weak voices of a few people are mixed with a few miserable crows, which makes people feel a sense of desolation from the bottom of my heart. . . . .

   As the surrounding silence slowly fell, the boy finished the last bit of hard black steamed bun on his hand, and licked the scraps on his hand before walking to the "bed".

   said it was a "bed", but it was made up of two black wooden sticks and a plank leaning against each other with some weeds underneath.

   But the boy is very lucky to be alive in this troubled world.

   In the middle of the night, the sound of insects is no longer as powerful as summer, it is already late summer and early autumn. Above the weeds, the boy did not fall asleep, with a pair of confused eyes looking at the stars in the sky, it was destined to be another sleepless night...

   This young man is called Wang Chen, and his family background is considered wealthy. It is said that Wang Chen was born with stars falling. The husband said that Wang Chen was a fairy who descended from the sky, so he named Wang Chen.

Wang Chen was even more intelligent since he was a child. At the age of four, he studied poetry with the only literate gentleman in Wangjia Village. He could read "Hundred Family Names" and "A Thousand Characters" in three months. He is a well-known little prodigy. It's worthy of the immortal's downfall.

   time back to more than a year ago. It was a scorching hot afternoon. Eight-year-old Wang Chen secretly ran out of her husband's school to play on the mountain a few miles away. He waited until he was tired from playing and returned to the village when it was getting dark.

However, everything changed when returning to the village: the original quiet small village was gone, the original simple villagers were gone, leaving only the flames, ruins, corpses... the young Wang Chen found the corpses of his family and husband and was there. With the help of dozens of survivors in the village, they were buried. On the second day of the disaster, the young Wang Chen embarked on a miserable escape journey because he heard that several survivors said that the war was about to begin...

   In a chaotic world, human lives are not as good as dogs, and the army is like robbers!

   Nine months ago, Wang Chen picked up a dead domestic chicken on the way to escape. It was just roasted and was snatched by two middle-aged people who fled at the same time and beaten severely.

   Seven months ago, because of dozens of copper coins, Wang Chen was beaten again.... Wang Chen's heart was full of bitterness, sadness, and unyielding. After all these things, Wang Fan, who was young, understood a truth: good things cannot be let others know, unless you have the strength to protect...

   Six months ago, Wang Chen was on his way to escape. There are homeless refugees everywhere... The grass roots are rarely seen, and the bark is not much. A group of yellow-faced refugees are driven by hunger to grab money from a young man on horseback...

Wang Fanchen remembered clearly that he was a gorgeously dressed young man with a sword on his back. He cast a few contemptuous glances at the refugees, and then drew the sword. The sword shadow raged, and seven or eight refugees died without a few swords. The rest also hurriedly ran away...

Wang Chen was shocked. For the first time, he had an idea of ​​learning martial arts and wanted to become stronger... That night, during a conversation with refugees, he heard about three gangs in Cangzhou: Dragon Tiger Gang, Giant Whale Gang, and Jindao Gang. door. At the same time, he also heard that because of the strength of the three major gangs in Cangzhou City, even the fighting troops on both sides would not dare to enter...

   This is a chaotic world with the decline of imperial power and the rise of gangs!

   Cangzhou City is one of the twelve state capitals of the Great Xia Kingdom, ranking eighth among the twelve cities of the Xia Kingdom. As the capital of Cangzhou, Cangzhou City has a history of thousands of years. The flow of people, bustling wine shops, and gorgeous clothes all show the prosperity and prosperity of Cangzhou.

   The sunshine of early autumn sprinkled softly on the earth, no longer so venomous in summer. Outside the city of Cangzhou, a young man stood under a big tree in the distance outside the city, looking towards the city of Cangzhou, which was within easy reach.

   The tall city wall is more than ten meters long, and it is all made up of boulders. Occasionally, you can vaguely recognize the traces on the city wall stones, or knives or swords. This is the traces of war and warriors. Anyone who sees it can't help but sigh, it really is an ancient city with a long history and rich heritage.

This boy is Wang Chen. After six months of wandering, Wang Fan has faded away from the shyness of a boy of this age, and he has gained the stability and deepness of an adult. It is just that his low figure and the heroic spirit between his eyebrows make it easy. Found that this is still a child.

   Disaster makes people grow, which is not bad at all.

   A month ago, some survivors who had just wandered settled down in the towns they passed by. Wang Chen did not stop. After seeing that young man's swordsmanship, Wang Chen decided to come to Cangzhou City. Because he found out that he had to learn advanced martial arts and become an awesome martial artist.

   At the gate of the city, there was no strict inspection, and a few guards were standing lazily, and they entered the city smoothly without any disturbances. As soon as he entered the city, Wang Chen realized that the inside of the city was different from the outside. There was a crowd of people on the street, everyone was dressed in luxurious clothes, and Wang Chen was surprised by the cries everywhere. After waiting for a while, the contemptuous eyes of the people in the city made him come back to his senses.

   "It's still too tender," Wang Chen thought to himself, blaming himself for acting like a child. Hurry up to the no one's corner, but he didn't think that this kind of idea should be something such a young boy should have!

   To enter a gang, you must first inquire about the gang's news. Naturally, to inquire about the news, you must go to a restaurant.

   Hongfu Restaurant, a slightly tacky name, Wang Chen squatted against the wall, slightly raised his head and looked into the restaurant. There is noisy chat and laughter in the restaurant, and guests come in and out one by one. It took nearly two hours for Wang Chen to hear useful news.

   "Li Wanfu, the day after tomorrow will be the day after the three major gangs recruit gangs. Your son is already twelve years old this year. This year's gang selection, your kid still can't make it through."

"Don't worry, my son can't get along. Even if your dog goes, it's no use. The three big gangs can't get in with all kinds of goods." A middle-aged man with a straight stomach looked sullen as if his words hit his sore spot. Show no weakness.

   "I don't know how many people can join the gang this year and learn martial arts"

  ...

  Wang Chen knew the whole story after just a few words. He did not listen down, bowed his head and left.

   Chengnan, a ruined temple, often has a few beggars living in it. Wang Chen can only live here today. Although Wang Chen has hidden more than 30 yuan in the wanderings, he obviously can't spend it just for accommodation.

   At night, in the ruined temple.

A middle-aged man dressed in brown deciphering reprimanded these three ten-year-old beggars, "Tomorrow you three will go to the test of the three major gangs. If you can pass, you don’t have to suffer with me. I can become a Jackie Chan. In your light, don't come back if you can't join the three major gangs." The middle-aged man was full of expressions and the three children were terrified. After a while, the middle-aged man encouraged the three children again. Wang Chen fell asleep slowly as he listened.

   The next day Wang Chen spent five cents to buy a suitable coarse cloth short coat. Although it is not gorgeous at all, it is much better than the rags worn when entering the city. After that, I bought steamed buns and was full, and went to sleep slowly to wait for the test on the third day.

   The three big gangs are the Cangzhou three tyrants. They recruit a gang once a year, and they must be children between the ages of eight and twelve. It is difficult for ordinary children to learn advanced martial arts. To get ahead and earn a lot of money, it is the only way to enter the three major gangs through screening. Especially in troubled times, martial arts are the foundation of standing and enter the three major gangs. As long as you can live, you can eat everything you like. Most people can't afford it, so many people are willing to send their children into the three major gangs.

  Cangzhou city north, here is a square about a hundred meters long and wide. When Wang Chen arrived here, there were already hundreds of people. The crowd is clearly divided into three parts, each part has dozens of carriages with pennants on them.

   Wang Chen has learned Chinese characters and recognized the characters on the banner. The dragon and tiger, the golden knife, and the giant whale are embroidered with a dragon and a tiger, a golden knife, and a big-headed monster respectively. The pennant was waving in the wind, and there were strong men guarding it all around, which was very mighty.

  Wang Chen thought for a while and then floated towards the dragon and tiger pennant.

   In front of the Dragon Tiger Gang banner, there is a copywriter horizontally. In front of the copywriter sits a gentleman-like person wearing a long-sleeved brocade. On both sides of the copy, there are big guys with strong costumes, very mighty.

  Wang Chen lined up. After a while, it was his turn. The middle-aged gentleman asked without raising his head:

   "Name" "Wang Chen" "Age" "Nine and a half years old" "Hometown" "..."

   In less than half a minute, Wang Chen finished his answer. The man with strong clothes next to him buzzed: "Come here." Wang Chen hurried over. There were already a few teenagers behind that person, and Wang Chen hurriedly stood behind. Not long after, there were eight people standing behind the four men with strong costumes, and Wang Chen got into the carriage at their orders.

   The gurgling carriage sound is not unpleasant at all, Wang Chen stayed quietly, closed his eyes and didn't speak. After hearing the voices of other people talking, Wang Chen turned his head and looked at the people in the car. One was a child of the same coarse cloth, with a naive appearance, and no one spoke.

   The other five people were chatting together, and they obviously got acquainted with each other very quickly. Three teenagers in Chinese clothes, one young man in costume, and one girl with a peach-faced face.

   "We need to help each other in this gang test!"

"Of course"

"sure"

  ...

   At the end is a girl in the corner of the car with a frosty face, with a beautiful face, but the strange atmosphere on her body makes several teenagers very uncomfortable. Wang Chen didn't talk to anyone, and fell asleep after waiting for a few hours while the carriage was still walking.

   When the carriage stopped, Wang Chen dumbly heard someone shouting: "Get up, get up", opened his eyes, and saw the simple boy shaking his body. "Thank you" Wang Fan replied, and the young man scratched his head embarrassedly, then pulled Wang Chenbian and got out of the car.

When    got out of the car, they found that they were at the foot of the mountain. It was the afternoon. There were dozens of horse-drawn carriages around, and hundreds of teenagers whispered in the surroundings. Wang Chen and the silly boy also communicated with each other. In a few words, he knew that the boy was called Zhang Tie, a child from a poor family near Cangzhou City. Maybe they had the same background. The two talked very happily, and they soon got acquainted with each other.

   waited about two quarters of an hour, and a few more carriages came. When the teenagers got off the carriage, the old man in costume in the middle of the crowd snorted again. The young man at the scene stopped talking and looked at the old man.

The old man looked around for a week before he said loudly: "Go ahead along the mountain road in front. You can only enter the outer door when the three-pillar incense reaches the mountainside. Otherwise, hum, don't waste the Dragon Tiger Gang." The old man's voice was very powerful and sound. Hong Zhong. After the voice, a few elders disappeared.

   All the young people looked at the quick figure of the old man in awe. The Dragon Tiger Gang was really powerful. Thinking that they might join such a gang soon, the young people immediately rushed to climb the mountain.

  Longhu Mountain, named after the Dragon and Tiger Gang here, is lush and wooded, and the gurgling streams can be seen from time to time, and the scenery is very beautiful. Unfortunately, due to the strength of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, no one dares to visit.

   But the teenagers at the moment are not in the mood to look at the surrounding scenery. Heavy gasps and drops of sweat prove that the teenagers are tired.

   It looks very close from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. In fact, it is very hard to get up. Adults with poor health, Sanzhuxiang, may have some reluctance to get up, let alone these children.

  Wang Chen was already dizzy as he walked, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, as if he would use all his energy without taking a step. Looking up, the destination was almost here, and Zhang Tie followed Wang Chen closely behind him. Wang Chen looked at Zhang Tie tired and wanted to sit down and rest, and said quickly: "Hurry up and go, the time is about to come," Zhang Tie reluctantly stood up after hearing these words, but was unable to walk, Wang Chen hesitated when he saw this. He picked him up and walked back together. Zhang Tie gritted his teeth as if inspired by his actions and walked forward.

   Next to him, there are a few teenagers in the same car with Wang Chen.

   "Wang does not say it is good to be together? How can you leave first by yourself"

   The young man in front of the costume walked forward without returning, and a few screams came from behind. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm

Wang Chen ignored the scolding of several people, but unknowingly produced an inexplicable emotion in his heart. This emotion is called caution. Although it hindered Wang Chen's cultivation several times, it also saved his life several times. , This is something I will not mention for the time being.

   After a while, Wang Chen and Zhang Tie finally reached halfway up the mountain.

The talking old man in Chinese clothes stood motionless at the foot of the mountain. There were already more than a hundred teenagers behind him. Wang Chen was already too tired to stand it. He wanted to sit down immediately. Seeing these people quickly pulled Zhang Tie and walked back. . Wang Chen walked to the back to find a stone and sat down, gasping for breath.

After less than a cup of tea time, when Wang Chen didn’t breathe very loudly, he heard the voice in front of him, “Trash, I haven’t come up after so long. The most important thing in learning martial arts is to endure hardship. Can't eat it, hum! Get out of the people behind."

   Wang Chen heard this voice and secretly said that it was the old man, and he was lucky it was a while earlier. Then Wang Chen stood up quickly, pulling Zhang Tie and standing behind the crowd. The old man turned around and glanced at the young man, his eyes were like swords, and the young men bowed their heads. The words just now seemed to suggest to them.

After   , the teenagers were arranged to rest. At night, in the room on the mountain, Wang Chen, Zhang Tie and the other two people couldn't sleep in the room excitedly, discussing the future life in the rivers and lakes with excitement...

   Late at night, the other people in the room went to sleep after a while.

   Wang Chen leaned against the window, outside the window was the sky full of stars, like pearls. Wang Chen remembered the life with his parents when he was a child, and the wandering life for more than a year...Finally, he fell asleep in anticipation of the future, with a firm smile on the corner of his mouth.
