Renegade Immortal

Tie Zhu sat on the side of the village road, looking at the blue sky, with a dazed expression. Tie Zhu was not his real name, but a nickname given to him by his father because he was thin and weak since he was a child.

His real name is Wang Lin, and the Wang surname is a common surname in the surrounding villages. His ancestor was a carpenter, especially in the county town. The Wang family is quite famous and owns several shops specializing in wood products.

Tie Zhu's father was the second son of a concubine in the family, so he could not take over the important affairs of the family. Instead, he left the county after getting married and settled in the village here.

Because of his superb carpentry skills, Tie Zhu's family is considered well-to-do, with no worries about food and clothing. Even in the village, he is respected by others.

Tie Zhu has been extremely smart since he was a child. He likes to read and has a lot of ideas. He is almost recognized as a child prodigy in the village. Every time his father hears praise from others, the wrinkles on his face will open and he will show a happy smile.

His mother is even more caring for him. It can be said that Tie Zhu has lived in the love of his parents since he was a child. He knows that his parents have high expectations for him, and other people's children have already gone to the fields to do farm work at his age. , but he is studying at home.

The more books he reads, the more thoughts will naturally come to him. He is full of longing for the world outside the mountain village. Looking up at the end of the path, Tie Zhu sighed, closed the book in his hand, got up and walked home.

Father sat in the yard, holding a pipe in his hand, took a deep breath, and said to Tie Zhu who pushed the door in: "Tie Zhu, how is your reading?"

Tie Zhu responded with a few words, his father knocked on the cigarette bag, stood up and said, "Tie Zhu, you have to study hard, next year is the county exam, and whether you will be successful in the future depends entirely on this time, don't Like me, I will stay in the village for the rest of my life, alas."

"Okay, you're nagging me every day. If you want me to tell you, our family Tie Zhu will definitely pass the exam." Tie Zhu's mother put the food on the table in the courtyard and called them father and son over for dinner.

Tie Zhu groaned, and after sitting down, he pulled out a few mouthfuls indiscriminately. The mother looked at her son lovingly, and gave him the few pieces of meat.

"Father, fourth uncle is coming soon?" Tie Zhu raised his head and said.

"Calculating the time, it's almost been these few days. Your fourth uncle is more promising than your father. Oh, my mother, have you wrapped all the wild vegetables for the fourth brother?" When the father mentioned the fourth son, his face showed a sigh color.

The mother nodded and said with emotion: "Tie Zhu, your fourth uncle is a good man. Thanks to his help these few years, the woodcarvings made by your father can be sold for a price. If you are promising in the future, don't forget to repay your fourth uncle."

Just as he was talking, the sound of a horse suddenly came from outside the door, followed by the sound of the wheels of the carriage pressing against the ground, and a hearty voice sounded outside.

"Second brother, open the door."

Tie Zhu was pleasantly surprised, and immediately ran over to open the gate of the yard, only to see a strong middle-aged man standing outside the door with piercing eyes, he laughed when he saw Tie Zhu, touched his head, and said with a smile: " Tie Zhu, I haven't seen him for half a year, and he has grown taller again."

Tie Zhu's parents stood up quickly, and his father smiled and said, "Fourth, I have an appointment, and you are coming soon, come in quickly, Tie Zhu, before you go get your fourth uncle a stool."

Tie Zhu responded happily, and hurried back to the room, took out a bench and put it beside the dining table, wiped it carefully with his sleeve, and looked at the middle-aged man expectantly.

The middle-aged man blinked at him, and jokingly said, "Tie Zhu, why are you so diligent this time? I remember that you were not like this when I came last time."

Tie Zhu's father glared at Tie Zhu, laughed and cursed: "You little bastard, I was just nagging you if you were coming soon."

Seeing Tie Zhu's blushing face, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Tie Zhu, your fourth uncle has not forgotten what he promised you." After speaking, he took out two linear books from his pocket and put them on the table.

Tie Zhu cheered excitedly, picked up the book and flipped through it, couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Tie Zhu's mother looked at her son kindly,

Said to the middle-aged man: "Fourth brother, your brother always talks about you, so please stay a few more days this time."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Second sister-in-law, there are a lot of things going on in the family these days, I have to go back early tomorrow morning, and I'll come to see you when I'm done with this time." After finishing speaking, he looked at his second wife apologetically elder brother.

Tie Zhu's father sighed, and said, "Don't listen to your sister-in-law, fourth son, pack the goods tomorrow, family matters are the most important, and it's the same when we get together later."

The middle-aged man looked at Tie Zhu's father and said, "Second brother, Tie Zhu is fifteen years old, right?"

Tie Zhu's father nodded, and said with emotion: "After the new year, this little bastard will be sixteen. Alas, more than ten years have passed, so fast." As he spoke, he looked at his son with doting eyes.

The middle-aged man pondered for a while, his face turned serious, and he said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, I have something to tell you. The Hengyue faction is recruiting disciples this year. The family has three recommendation places, and I have one for them."

Tie Zhu's father was startled, and turned pale, and said, "Hengyue faction? But that Hengyue faction is full of immortals?"

The middle-aged man smiled, nodded and said: "Second brother, it's the immortal sect. Our family is considered a famous family nearby, and we are eligible for recommendation. You know my kid, he can't read, but he is good at wielding swords and swords. The conference accepts my kid, this quota is precious, I think Tie Zhu has been smart since he was a child, and likes to read, maybe he can do it."

Tie Zhu's mother was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, this... this..."

The middle-aged man touched Tie Zhu's head and said, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, I think this is the way to go. Let Tie Zhu try it. If he is really charged, it will be his blessing."

Tie Zhu looked at his parents and fourth uncle in confusion, he couldn't understand what they said, immortal? What is a fairy? Tie Zhu hesitated for a moment, and asked softly.

The middle-aged man looked serious, looked at Tie Zhu, and said: "Tie Zhu, immortals can fly around in the sky. Each of them has supernatural powers, which are beyond the reach of us mortals."

Tie Zhu was in a daze, and became curious about the immortal.

Tie Zhu's father got up excitedly, and pulled Tie Zhu's mother to bow to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man quickly helped them up, and said sincerely, "Second brother, what are you doing? My mother died early. If it wasn't for Erniang who took care of me when I was young, I wouldn't be where I am today, Tie Zhu is my nephew, I should do what I do."

Tie Zhu's father burst into tears, patted the middle-aged man heavily, nodded, and then said to Tie Zhu sternly: "Wang Lin, remember, no matter what, don't forget your fourth uncle's kindness to our family. Otherwise, I will not have your son!"

Tie Zhu's heart trembled. Although he was still ignorant of immortals, he could tell from his parents' expressions that they attached great importance to this matter, so he knelt down in front of his fourth uncle and kowtowed heavily.

The middle-aged man pulled up the iron pillar and said appreciatively: "My good boy, clean up these few days, I will pick you up at the end of the month!"

In the next night, Tie Zhu went to bed early, and he could still hear the voices of his father and fourth uncle in the yard. His father was very happy today, and he seldom drank, so he wanted to have a few drinks with fourth uncle no matter what.

"Immortal? What exactly is it?" Tie Zhu was very excited in his heart. His young mind vaguely knew that this would be his chance, a chance to go to the outside world!

Early the next morning, the fourth uncle left. Tie Zhu's parents took him all the way to the village entrance. On the way back, Tie Zhu could clearly see that his father seemed to be much younger all of a sudden. expectations.

This kind of expectant look in his eyes is much stronger than when he was asked to take the county exam.

There are no secrets at all in the small mountain village, even if a dog gives birth to several cubs, it can spread throughout the village in an instant, and soon everyone in the village knows the news from Tie Zhu's mother, and they come to visit one after another. The eyes are different when looking at Tie Zhu, there is envy, there is jealousy...

"The Wang family gave birth to a good baby, and he was accepted as a disciple by the Heng Yue sect."

"I watched Tie Zhu grow up since he was a child. This child has been smart since he was a child. This time he has become a disciple of the Hengyue Sect. He will definitely have great achievements in the future."

"Tie Zhu is capable. Don't forget about our village when you're successful in the future. Come back and see more often."

Words like these poured into Tie Zhu's ears one after another, and gradually he said that he had become a disciple of the Hengyue Sect. Every time his parents heard it, they couldn't keep their mouths shut, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be much less.

Whenever Tie Zhu walked alone in the village, all the villagers who saw him would enthusiastically pull him to ask questions, and what's more, they even set Tie Zhu as an example to teach them in front of their children.

Half a month passed quickly, and the news that Tie Zhu became a disciple of the Hengyue Sect spread quickly. Villagers from all over the world came to congratulate him one after another. Their main purpose was to have a look at Tie Zhu.

When everyone came, they would prepare presents, and Tie Zhu's parents couldn't avoid it, so they accepted it. However, when these people leave, they will prepare a heavy gift for them. According to Tie Zhu's father, our baby will be a high-ranking fairy in the future, and he cannot be allowed to owe so much debt of favor. Villagers, let's give him a gift in return.

At this time, the members of the Wang family gradually came to know that the fourth child had given up their child's place to Tie Zhu, and came to congratulate him one after another.

Tie Zhu's father attaches great importance to the members of his family. Many of these people looked down on him before, and even forced him out of the family many years ago. The aggrievedness was swept away.

He discussed with Tie Zhu's mother and prepared to entertain them well, so he spent a lot of money and asked the teacher in the village to write an invitation card and send it to the clan.

The teacher didn't charge money for anything, but only asked Tie Zhu to admit that he had been studying here since he was a child, so Tie Zhu didn't have anything to say about it, it was a fact.

After the invitations were delivered, most of the relatives of the Wang family came to celebrate. Because there were too many people, Tie Zhu's father chose the square in the center of the village for the reception, and set up hundreds of banquet tables.

The residents of the village helped entertain them by themselves, and when they talked with each other, they all praised Tie Zhu very well and praised him endlessly.

As for Tie Zhu's father, he brought his wife and children to welcome him at the entrance of the village, and introduced Tie Zhu's relatives one by one.

"This is your third grandfather. When Dad left the family, your third grandfather helped a lot in secret. Tie Zhu, you must remember to repay him in the future." Tie Zhu's father said to Wang Lin, supporting a white-haired old man.

Tie Zhu quickly obediently agreed, the old man looked at Tie Zhu and said with emotion: "Second brother, time is so fast, your baby is already this big, your baby is very good, more promising than you."

Tie Zhu's father blushed and said with a smile: "Third Grandfather, Tie Zhu has been smart since he was a child, so he must be better than me. You always walk slowly, motherfucker, help Third Grandpa pass."

Tie Zhu's mother hurried forward and helped the old man to the banquet.

Seeing the old man leave, Tie Zhu's father snorted, and said to Tie Zhu: "This old guy, you didn't like your father at the beginning, and insisted on forcing me to leave. Now that you are promising, Tie Zhu, he came to congratulate you again. This relative, that's it."

Tie Zhu nodded ignorantly, and asked, "Father, is fourth uncle coming today?"

Tie Zhu's father shook his head and said, "Your fourth uncle sent a letter saying that he can't come back from other places, and he can only come back when he picks you up at the end of the month."

At this time, another carriage came rushing up, and after stopping at the entrance of the village, an old man in his fifties walked out. He looked at Tie Zhu's father, sighed softly, and said, "Second brother, congratulations."

Tie Zhu's father had a complex expression on his face, and he said after a long time, "Brother..."

The old man swept his eyes away, looked at Tie Zhu, and said with a smile: "Second brother, this is your kid, right? That's right, maybe he can really be selected this time."

Tie Zhu's father frowned, then stretched it out, and said, "This kid Tie Zhu has no good qualities, he is just smart and willing to study, so he will be selected this time."

"That's not necessarily true. The Immortal Sect has very strict requirements for recruiting disciples, and they pay attention to whether they have immortal fate. I think this kid is stupid, and it is useless to go." An arrogant voice came slowly, and got off the carriage. A boy of sixteen or seventeen.

The young man was handsome, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, a face like a crown of jade, and a look of contempt in his eyes.

Tie Zhu's father glared at him, while Wang Lin took a deep look at him without saying a word.

The old man looked serious, and shouted: "Wang Zhuo, why are you so rude, this is your second uncle, this is your younger brother Wang Lin, and you are not polite." After speaking, he said to Tie Zhu's father: "The dog's words are ugly, Don't mind my second son, but..." Having said this, he changed the subject and said again: "But second son, it is not such a simple matter for an immortal to accept disciples, it needs to pay attention to fate, this time it is Heng Yue sect Daoxu Shangxian valued Quanzi, so he became interested in my Wang family and gave three places including Quanzi."

Tie Zhu's father snorted and said, "Since your child can do it, my child will definitely be selected too!"

The young man sneered, he didn't care about the old man's scolding, and said contemptuously: "You are the second uncle, I advise you not to think better, this system of cultivating immortals is almost the same, it is impossible for this silly boy to be like this Young master, this young master is a disciple appointed by the immortal master, can he compare?"

A flash of pride flashed across the old man's face, he reprimanded a few more words, clasped his fist at Tie Zhu's father, and led the boy towards the banquet.

"Tie Zhu, don't feel pressured. It doesn't matter if you don't get selected. It's the same when you go to the county exam next year." Tie Zhu's father held back for a long time, and then he calmed down after a long time, and said earnestly.

Wang Lin's eyes were firm, and he said in a low voice: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely be selected!"

Tie Zhu's father gently patted his son's shoulder, with expectant eyes in his eyes.

Many relatives were greeted one after another, and Tie Zhu's father finally took him back to the banquet. At this time, the house was full of guests and the scene was very lively. Everyone celebrated each other and was bustling.

"My relatives in the family, fellow folks, I, Wang Tianshui, don't have much culture, and I don't know how to speak, but I am happy today. This time, my baby has the opportunity to be selected as a disciple by the Hengyue Sect. It is the happiest thing in my life. I won't say anything more about it, thank you all for coming to my place to say congratulations, thank you!" Tie Zhu's father finished speaking loudly, picked up the wine glass and cleaned it up.

"Second child, your doll has been smart since she was a child, and she will definitely be selected to become a fairy like Wang Zhuo's child."

"Second brother, you have a child like Tie Zhu, so this life is not in vain, just wait and enjoy the blessings in the future."

"Tie Zhu, to give your father some credit, this time, no matter what, you must join the Hengyue Sect."

The scene was full of excitement for a while, and there were lots of celebrations, but secretly, there were also many people with the mentality of watching the fun, such as Wang Zhuo's father, that was the case. He congratulated on the surface, but he never looked down on this second brother in his heart. This is especially true for his child. He looked at his boy and then at Tie Zhu, feeling rather disapproving in his heart. Although it was beyond his expectation that the fourth son of Xindao gave up his quota this time, as long as those immortals are not blind , it is impossible to select the iron pillar.

The various states of life, everyone here can see one by one, Tie Zhu's father pulled Tie Zhu, toasted table by table, and introduced him to strange relatives one after another.

On this day, Tie Zhu's father drank a lot of wine, he had never been so happy before, until very late, relatives left one after another. Before leaving, the young Wang Zhuo still had that contemptuous expression, and whispered in Tie Zhu's ear while no one was paying attention: "Silly boy, you won't be selected, you don't have that piece of material."

After speaking, he smiled contemptuously and left with his father.

Back home, Tie Zhu was lying on the bed, secretly deciding in his heart, no matter what, he must be chosen!

Half a month passed by in a hurry, and on this day, Uncle Tie Zhu came driving a carriage.

Tie Zhu's parents hurriedly welcomed him into the room, the middle-aged man washed his face, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, I can't stay for a long time this time, I will leave immediately after picking up Tie Zhu. Coming to pick someone up."

Tie Zhu's father was taken aback, with a hint of reluctance on his face, and he said decisively: "Okay, Tie Zhu, follow your fourth uncle, you... If you are selected, you will be in the Hengyue faction steadfastly, If... If you are not selected, don't have any burdens and come back home."

Tie Zhu looked at his parents reluctantly, nodded heavily, his mother took out a package from the room, and said lovingly: "Tie Zhu, when you go out, you have to listen to your fourth uncle and don't cause trouble. Outside is no better than at home. You are more tolerant when you encounter problems." , mother prepared some new clothes for you, and your favorite baked sweet potato, mother will miss you, if not selected, come back..." Tie Zhu's mother said, tears flowed down.

Tie Zhu has never left the village since he was a child, and this is the first time he has left.

The fourth uncle said with emotion, "Tie Zhu, you must be selected to win the praise of your parents. Second brother, second sister-in-law, the family will have a large celebration banquet in a few days. I am in a hurry today. I will pick you up tomorrow." Let's go together, the three recommended dolls of the family, then there will be results."

After speaking, he pulled the iron pillar and hurried into the carriage, whipped the horse, and drove away.

Tie Zhu's parents kept looking at the disappearing carriage, crying unceasingly.

"His father, Tie Zhu has never left our side, will he be bullied when he goes out this time?" Tie Zhu's mother bit her lower lip, with reluctance in her eyes.

"When the babies grow up, they will have their own blessings..." Tie Zhu's father picked up the cigarette pouch and took a deep breath. The wrinkles on his face suddenly increased a lot.
