The Legend of the Immortals

Er Rangzi opened his eyes wide and looked straight at the black roof made of thatch and mud, covered with the old quilt, which was dark yellow, could not see the original face, but also, if not, emitted a faint smell of mold.

　　In his side next to another person, is the second brother Han cast, sleeping soundly very sweet, from time to time from his body came the light and heavy burst of snoring.

　　About half a dozen feet away from the bed is a yellow mud wall, because of time, the wall is cracked with a few long and inconspicuous mouths, from these cracks, faintly came Han's mother's nagging complaints, occasionally interspersed with Han's father, smoking a dry tobacco sticks, "pop," "pop "The sound of sucking.

　　Erroneous slowly closed his eyes which had been somewhat astringent, forcing himself into a deep sleep as early as possible. He knew very well in his heart that if he did not sleep honestly, he would not be able to get up earlier tomorrow, and he would not be able to go into the mountains to pick dry firewood with his other promised companions.

　　Er Rangzi surnamed Han Li, is such a decent name, his parents can not come up with, this is his father with two coarse grains made of the nest, begging the village old uncle Zhang to give him the name.

　　Old Uncle Zhang, when he was young, once worked with the rich people in the city for a few years as a companion schoolboy, is the only reader in the village who knows a few words, the village children's names, but more than half of the names he gave.

　　Han Li was called "Er Rongzi" by the village people, but he was not really stupid, but was one of the most intelligent children in the village, but like other children in the village, he seldom heard anyone formally call him "Han Li" except for his family. The name "Er Rongzi" "Er Rongzi" has been accompanied by today.

　　The reason for the nickname "Er Rangzi" is simply because there is already a child called "Rangzi" in the village.

　　This is not much, the other children in the village are also "dog child" "two eggs" and so on has been called, these names are not necessarily better than the "two rashes" where to go.

　　Therefore, although Han Li does not like this name, but also can only be so self-satisfied all the time.

　　Han Li's appearance is very inconspicuous, with dark skin, and is an ordinary peasant child look. But deep inside, he is much more precocious than his peers, he grew up yearning for the richness and prosperity of the outside world, dreaming that one day, he could go out of this palm-sized village to see the outside world that old Uncle Zhang often talks about.

　　When this idea of Han Li, has not dared to talk to others about it. Otherwise, the village people will certainly be stunned that a little kid who is not yet dry will have such a thought that even adults do not dare to think easily. You know, other children about the same age as Han Li, are still only chasing chickens and dogs all over the village, let alone will have to leave the homeland, such an odd idea.

　　Han Li's family of seven, there are two brothers, one sister, and a little sister, he is the fourth in the family, just ten years old, the family's life is very hard, a year can not eat a few meals with meat, the whole family has been hovering on the line of subsistence.

　　At this time, Han Li is in a daze, and seems to sleep between the annoyance that has been residing in the thought: up the mountain, must help his beloved sister, pick more of her favorite red berries.

　　The next day at noon, when Han Li with the hot sun, carrying a half-high pile of firewood, with a bag full of berries in his arms, from the mountains to home, did not know that home has come to a guest, will change his life fate.

　　This noble guest is a close relative of his blood, his third uncle.

　　I heard that in a nearby small town restaurant, to people as a big boss, his parents talk about the great man. The Han family for nearly a hundred years may have produced a third uncle so a relative of some status.

　　Han Li only met this third uncle a few times when he was very young. His elder brother in the city to an old blacksmith as an apprentice job is this third uncle introduction, this third uncle also often entrusted his parents to bring some food with things, and is very careful of their family, so Han Li to this third uncle's impression is also very good, know that although the parents do not say, the heart is also very grateful.

　　Big brother is the pride of the family, I heard that as an apprentice blacksmith, not only food and housing, there are 30 coins a month to take, until the official master was hired, earn more money can be.

　　Whenever his parents mentioned his elder brother, they were soaring, like a new person. Although Han Li was young, he was also envious and had the best job in mind early on, which is to give the small town craft master to see, to accept as an apprentice, and from then on to become a decent person to eat by craft.

So when Han Li saw Third Uncle, who was wearing a brand new satin dress, with a fat round face and a mustache, he was excited.

　　After putting the firewood in the back of the house, he went to the front room and coyly saluted Uncle San, called out "Good day, Uncle San", and stood honestly to the side, listening to his parents chat with Uncle San.

　　The third uncle looked at Han Li with a smile, looked at him, praised him with a few words like "obedient" and "understanding", then turned his head and talked to his parents about the purpose of his visit.

　　Although Han Li is still too young to fully understand Uncle San's words, but he also understood the general meaning.

　　It turns out that the restaurant where Uncle San works belongs to a Jianghu sect called the "Seven Mysteries", which has an outer and inner sect, and not long ago, Uncle San officially became an outer disciple of this sect, able to nominate children between the ages of 7 and 12 to participate in the Seven Mysteries' test for inner disciples.

　　Once every five years, the "Seven Mysteries Sect" will begin its inner discipleship test next month. The third uncle, who has some shrewdness and no children of his own, naturally thought of Han Li, who is of the right age.

　　Han's father, who has always been honest, heard words such as "Jianghu" and "sect" that he had never heard of before, and was a bit indecisive about his decision. Then pick up a dry tobacco sticks, "bar" "bar" a few mouthfuls of fierce smoking, just sitting there, not a word.

　　In the mouth of the third uncle, "seven Xuanmen" is naturally hundreds of miles around, remarkable, one of the major sects.

　　As long as you become an inner disciple, not only can you practice martial arts for free in the future and eat and drink, but you can also have more than one tael of loose silver a month to spend. And even if you don't make the cutcute a chance to become a member of the outer clan like Uncle San, who will take care of the business for the Seven Mysteries clan.

　　When he heard that he could get one tael of silver per month and have the chance to become a decent person like Third Uncle, Han's father finally made up his mind and agreed.

　　The third uncle was very happy to see that Han's father had accepted. He left a few taels of silver and said that he would come to take Han Li away in a month, and in the meantime, he would make more delicious food for him to replenish his body so that he could cope with the test. Then Uncle San and Father Han said hello, stroked Han Li's head, and went out to the city.

　　Although Han Li did not fully understand what Uncle San said but can enter the city can earn big money or understand.

　　He was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights in a row.

　　The third uncle came to the village on time a month later to take Han Li away. Before leaving, Han's father repeatedly told Han Li, to be honest, be tolerant, and not argue with others, while Han's mother asked him to pay more attention to his health and to eat well and sleep well.

　　In the carriage, looking at his parents' fading figures, Han Li bit his lips tightly, forcing himself not to let the tears in his eye frame flow out.

　　Although he has been more mature than other children since childhood, after all, he is still a ten-year-old child, his first trip away from home makes his heart a little sad and indecisive. His young heart secretly made up its mind to come back as soon as he earned big money and never be separated from his parents again.

　　Han Li never thought that the amount of money had lost its meaning to him after he went out this time, but he embarked on an immortal career path that was different from that of mortals and walked out on his immortal cultivation path.
