It has been a few days since we set off, and the weather today is gloomy. The trees on both sides of the road are listless, as if they are asleep. The forest is also very quiet, with less noise from the birds.
The carriage rocked slowly, but Jiang Tian was extremely excited about the outside world. He looked left and right. It was no wonder that Jiang Tian had never left his hometown before.
Therefore, he always maintains a sense of freshness about the new environment outside, and Jiang Tian himself will not feel tired.
At this time, there was a black spot beside the road ahead. As the carriage approached, it turned out to be an old man with white hair.
His hair looked messy, his face was sloppy, his clothes were in tatters, and there were blood stains on his body. He looked like he was about to die, and he was lying motionless on the roadside.
Although he was lying down, he still felt like an immortal. Fortunately, his heart was still beating.
Jiang Tian also kept paying attention. When he got closer, he discovered an injured old man. Jiang Tian was about to ask his uncle to stop the car, but his uncle said.
"Tian'er, it's best not to meddle in other people's business, so as not to get into trouble."
"But he is just an old grandfather who is about to die! We'd better save him."
The uncle couldn't resist Jiang Tian, so he called the carriage to a stop and stopped beside the road. Then he and Jiang Tian got out of the carriage. Jiang Tian immediately ran to the old man's side, helped the old man up and shouted.
"Grandpa! Wake up, grandpa!"
Finally, the uncle came over and pressed the old man's button, and the old man made intermittent sounds.
"Water...water...water..."
Jiang Tian quickly ran back to the carriage, brought a kettle over, unscrewed the spout, supported the old man, and fed him some water before the old man recovered a little.
Jiang Tian brought some more dry food pancakes. This was the dry food prepared by his mother for him. The old man said, "Thank you." He ate it quickly without asking any questions.
"Now that you're awake, Tian'er, let's go."
The old man watched the two of them get up and leave, and kept saying: "Thank you, benefactor, good people will be rewarded."
As the horse neighed, the carriage gradually moved away, leaving only the old man standing there. When he saw Jiang Tian go away, he muttered to himself.
"This is a narrow escape from death!"
Then it flew away in one direction, and the sun gradually moved westward. The mountains in the distance were covered with golden gauze. The sun walked carefully along the other side of the distant mountains, not wanting to disturb the world, just like a cultivator of immortals.
It’s like not showing up easily around the world.
"Uncle, why didn't you let me go down and save that old grandpa just now!" But the uncle looked at Jiang Tian with a weathered look, without saying anything, and finally said, "Tian'er, the sun is about to set, after passing this mountain road
, let’s just find a place to take a rest, we’ll be in the city in about one day.”
Seeing that his uncle didn't answer directly, Jiang Tian changed the subject, and he knew what was interesting and didn't ask further questions.
"Well, uncle, what is the outside world like? Are there gods in this world?"
"The outside world is very big and exciting. There are some places that some people will never be able to visit in their lifetime. If you can, go and explore as much as you can. There are gods. I have never seen them."
"But in one of our cities there seems to be a station where the Immortal Sect recruits disciples, but there is no one there all year round."
"And I heard it from some old people. Most of those old people have turned into loess. I heard that it has been a long time since I last recruited disciples. In this world, it is estimated that only gods can destroy the land where we live.
Let’s walk around.”
"Are there really gods? Uncle, have you ever seen any gods?"
"Silly boy, I have never seen it before, and the Immortal Sect is not that easy to get into. I heard that the land we live in belongs to a sect called Shengyang Sect. I don't know if it is true, but the Immortal Sect is
It usually doesn’t appear easily, and even if it does, you wouldn’t know it if it passes by you!”
"But I heard a long time ago that there was an event for the Immortal Sect to recruit disciples. I heard it was very grand. It was in the city we are going to - Muyang City."
"But according to some old people who are still alive, the most recent time was about seventy years ago, and the requirements are particularly strict. Spiritual roots, understanding, soul power, great willpower...etc. are all indispensable."
"It is said that nearly a hundred children were taken away by the immortal envoys. However, most of the children who went to practice immortality never came back. Even those who came back only stayed for a few days without leaving much news, and then left in a hurry.
go."
"For some families, this is also about honoring their ancestors and blessing their descendants. Therefore, there is a saying in the world of immortality, 'Once you set foot on the path of immortality, you will never look back.' It's not because the management of the immortal sect is very strict."
"I heard that the Immortal Sect has very high requirements for cultivation, and it also depends on the progress of cultivation. Only when you reach a certain level are you allowed to visit your home and return to your hometown. This path alone has troubled many people. They say that the Immortal Way is ruthless, and who doesn't want to have feelings."
"Could it be that what the silly old man in our village said is true, but why did he become so stupid?" Jiang Tian thought to himself.
As Jiang Tian chatted with his uncle, it gradually became dark, so he found a safer place near the water source.
I set up the tent, found some firewood, lit a fire, sat down around the fire, prepared some food for tonight, and started eating.
After eating, we went into the tent to rest. My uncle and the driver took turns on duty, and we had no words all night.
The sun rose slowly the next day, and the weather became warmer. At this time, my uncle called Jiang Tian, and the three of them ate some and continued on their way.
Finally, we arrived at Muyang City before the sun set. As we approached, we saw three powerful characters "Muyang City" carved in the center of the city gate. The three characters seemed to be witnesses to the history of the entire city.
.
Although it was evening in the city, there were still people coming and going, and it was very lively, with shouts coming one after another.
Jiang Tian also curiously stuck his head out of the window to look at the city. After a while, Jiang Tian and his uncle arrived at his uncle's house.
Jiang Tian's elder brother, whose real name is Jiang Yun, comes home almost once a year. His elder brother cooks delicious dishes in a big restaurant in the city.
Jiang Yun also lives with his uncle, and the yard is not very big. Jiang Yun said when he saw Jiang Tianhou.
"I've grown taller again. I've been here for a long time. In a few years, I'll catch up with you soon, haha."
Jiang Yun was particularly happy when he saw his younger brother.
"Come on, let's go in and chat. You must be tired after traveling for such a long time! How are you at home? It's getting dark, so I'll cook and prepare some dishes today."
Jiang Tian's brother kept asking Jiang Tian, and Jiang Tian didn't know what to reply first.
In this way, Jiang Tian and his uncle rested in the room for a while, then the hot and fragrant food was served, and several people chatted and laughed.
Jiang Yun also asked about the current situation of his parents and his hometown. After dinner, the two brothers chatted for a long time that night. For a long time, they mostly mentioned the bandits. This chapter has been completed!
