the first god

Chapter 512
When the first ray of sunshine shines on this quiet village in the morning, the mist floating in the air slowly dissipates.The willows sway in the wind, accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds, as if to cater to the washing of the sun.If you walk in it, it will give you a dreamlike feeling.

When the sun covered the whole village, people had already got up early and started a busy day. This is a village located in the northernmost part of the Wanling Continent, called Huangtu Village. It is separated from the Central Empire by thousands of mountains. Due to its remote location, So even if there is a war, it will not affect this peaceful small village.The villagers in the village have lived here almost for generations.

The black clouds hang low, the wind blows, the trees are uprooted, and the lightning and thunder continue in the black clouds, shaking the world, as if the end is coming; at this time, the people on the ground are as small and fragile as ants, crying ghosts and howling wolves. The surrounding mountains were smashed by lightning, and the rocks rolled down to the village below the mountain.

Among the panicked crowd, a child was yelling hysterically at his parents with a crying voice, but that fragile voice was powerlessly annihilated in this doomsday, and the child also fainted from exhaustion, and then more rocks rolled in
"Father, is it time for the empire to come to us to select villagers to join the army in a few days? I also want to participate this year." The boy followed his father with a hoe on his shoulders, and carefully expressed his thoughts to his father.

This kid is called Ma Yunteng, 17 years old, and he is a troublemaker in the village, but the villagers in the village are easy-going and don’t care too much about it. More often, what Ma Yunteng can bring to people is more laughter. Their boring life has added a lot of color. The uncles and aunts in the village even told Ma Yunteng that it was a joke to come to his house to be their son, but it can be seen that he is still very pleasing in the village. .

Walking in front was a man in his forties or fifties, of medium build, with slightly gray hair at the temples, a little stubble on his face, and dark and rough skin from years of sun exposure, but he should have been a handsome man when he was young , he is Ma Yunteng's father, Ma Tai.

Although his father has been very kind to him since he was a child, and he will rely on him for everything, but every time he talks about joining the army, he will be educated by his father.When I told my father about this last year, my father was so angry that he hit him with a willow stick. Fortunately, my mother stopped him in time, otherwise it would have been inevitable.

Ma Yunteng followed Chen Mo's hand and looked at the purple-clothed girl. His eyes lit up, and he felt that he was much more beautiful than Xiaoyue. Senior brother really has a vision.

Stealing money bags is naturally easy for Ma Yunteng, but stealing people's money bags for no reason, Ma Yunteng has no such hobby, so he asked: "Master, why did you steal her money bag? She doesn't seem to be showing off her wealth." Bar."

"Well, junior brother, look, the transparent veil she covered is equivalent to no covering. This kind of woman is too contrived, and I can't get used to it. You know I don't steal women, so I have to let junior brother do it for you." Yes, junior brother, you won't play tricks!" Chen Mo replied.

Hearing this was a bit confusing, it was not a reason, and he was not good at really playing tricks, so Ma Yunteng had no choice but to bite the bullet, thinking it was just stealing a purse, at worst, stealing it for the senior brother to see, no matter how clever Unknowingly went back.

Ma Tai turned around slowly, looked at Ma Yunteng who had grown up, and looked at his firm eyes, as if he saw the high-spirited and somewhat arrogant self.At that time, I also begged my father to let me join the army of the empire, hoping to stand out and make a big difference. At that time, my father was also very opposed to me, but in the end I ignored my father's opposition and joined the army.But when I saw the outside world, I realized how small I was and how naive my thoughts were.When I finally returned to the village and tried my best to be filial, all I saw was a tomb and an empty house.

Recalling the scenes at that time, I feel indescribably sad.

"Father, mother——" Ma Yunteng sat up straight from the bed, as if he had exhausted all his strength in sitting up, and fainted on the bed again in an instant, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"Hey, I dreamed about that disaster again. This is the seventh time in three days. I don't know if you can get through it." A man with a tired face beside the bed said to himself pitifully as if he hadn't woken up. language.

In the early morning of the next day, the tired man was helping Ma Yunteng wipe the sweat off his forehead when he suddenly saw Ma Yunteng's eyes blinking, as if he was about to wake up.

"Father, your face is so ugly. If you really don't want me to go, then I will stay here with you and mother for the rest of my life." Ma Yunteng looked at the sad expression on his father's face and was a little worried.

"Father is fine, let's go." Ma Tai came back to his senses and waved his hand.

Although he said this on his lips, Ma Tai was full of contradictions in his heart. What kind of mood did his father have when he watched him join the military.

"Yunteng, I object to you joining the army. Do you know what war is? It's not a fight between you and the neighbor's kid." After walking for a long time, Ma Tai turned his head and looked sadly at Ma Yunteng who was following him.

Ma Yunteng, who was walking with his head down, heard what his father said, raised his head quickly, and said hastily, "I know you are all afraid that if I go, you won't be able to come back. Both you and mother are reluctant to part with me, but I have grown up now." When I grow up, I am a good man with ambitions everywhere, and I hope to venture out on my own, if it is said that I will always be under the wings of you and your mother without being tempered, how will I be able to spread my wings and soar in the future."

After making up his mind, Ma Yunteng stood up and walked quietly towards the purple-clothed girl in the eyes of several people who seemed to be watching a show. Ma Yunteng restrained his breath, like a cat, and walked silently. Unconsciously tense, Ma Yunteng felt that this girl was unusual.

When he could clearly smell the fragrance from the girl's body, Ma Yunteng reached for the girl's waist with his right hand in a thunderous manner, and at the same time used the method of "fetching objects from the air". Back, the speed was so fast that it brought up an afterimage.

After landing, Ma Yunteng found that what he was holding was not a money bag, but a woman's close-fitting handkerchief, and there was a burst of fragrance. Before he could be surprised, he saw the purple-clothed girl on the opposite side holding a pair of delicate and angry hands. He looked at himself with extreme eyes, his face was like eating people, obviously he was very angry.

"Hahaha... That's right, my Ma Tai's son will surely surpass the Nine Heavens, extraordinary." For some reason, at this moment, Ma Tai firmly believes that his son will one day be able to soar through the Nine Heavens.Perhaps all parents believe in their children from the bottom of their hearts, and believe that their children will be extraordinary.

"Father, did you promise me to let me join the army?"

My father had always been opposed to participating, so why does he support me now?Although Ma Yunteng had doubts in his heart, Ma Tai was able to agree, which surprised and delighted him.

"Yeah, maybe you can help Dad do what Dad can't do, let's go, let's go home, from now on I will teach you how to become a cultivator."

The man ran out of the door excitedly, shouting: "Master! Master! Junior brother is awake."

Ma Yunteng opened his eyes vigorously. It was the first time he felt that opening his eyes was such a laborious task. He wanted to sit up, but he couldn't sit up no matter what. The feeling of powerlessness came with a burst of black eyes, so he simply didn't move.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps approaching, and five people entered in a file. They came to this slightly small room, stood in front of the bed, and looked at Ma Yunteng with concern.

"Little brother, you are awake. Master decided to accept you as an apprentice last night; don't think about anything, just recover from your wounds, everything is over, and you will have good luck if you survive a catastrophe." The man who seemed to have not woken up Open the mouth first.

Ma Yunteng looked at the five people in front of him, and saw a heroic middle-aged man in the front, wearing a gray long coat, with gentle sword eyebrows, clear eyes, regular facial features, very handsome, and an elegant Lingchen breath all over his body, At this time, he looked at himself with a smile on his face. This should be the master in the mouth just now. Ma Yunteng also understood the current situation, so he said to the middle-aged man in a weak and eager voice: "Master, it is you Did you save me? Where are my parents and the rest of our village?"

Ma Tai turned and walked in the direction of home.His extinguished and decadent heart ignited again. He wanted Ma Yunteng to become a strong man looked up to by the world, and let Ma Yunteng pursue his dream.

Looking at his father's back, Ma Yunteng's father was a pessimistic and depressed person, but at this moment, his father felt so tall.He had never admired his father so much.

"Why is it so slow? You can't become a qualified cultivator like this. I've been waiting at home for a long time." Ma Tai waited for Ma Yunteng who came back at the door.

"Huh...huh...father, it was you...running...too fast."

Ma Yunteng put his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

"Put down the hoe. Go in and talk to your mother." The father and son walked into the house together.

Hearing the voice, the woman in the room put down the clothes she was knitting, turned her head, looked at Ma Yunteng and Ma Tai, and said in doubt: "Why did you come back after just walking for a while, look at the sweat on Yunteng's head, quickly ask mother to give you Wipe."

The woman was dressed in plain clothes, her hair was draped behind her back, and some wrinkles appeared on her delicate and elegant face with the years.This is Ma Tai's wife, Ma Yunteng's mother, Lu Ling.

The middle-aged man's face froze, and he said calmly again: "Just wake up, don't talk, don't think about anything else, let's talk about the injury, okay." Then he turned sideways and said to the man who didn't wake up, "Youth Shu, I think your little brother is also hungry, you go get a bowl of porridge to warm his belly, I will leave it to you here, let's go out first, let him rest well." After finishing speaking, without waiting for anyone to answer, he turned and went to Go outside.

The middle-aged man just turned around, and a girl with an innocent and lovely face suddenly approached Ma Yunteng, and said excitedly, "Little brother, I am your senior sister!" It seems that being a senior sister is a very satisfying thing , She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the middle-aged master who had just walked to the door with his eyes back, and she stuck out her tongue at Ma Yunteng and ran outside.

For this girl's behavior, Ma Yunteng can only smile wryly at this time
Everyone went out, and the room seemed dead silent. Ma Yunteng stared at the roof in a daze, thinking of the experience a few days ago, suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and tears could not help but flow down his cheeks.

"Mother, Father said that I can go to the military gate of the imperial capital. When they come to select candidates, I want to participate in the selection."

While talking, Lu Ling had already picked up a towel to help Ma Yunteng dry off his sweat, then put down the towel, and asked Ma Tai in surprise, "Did you promise him?".

"Uh...after all...a child can't be by his parents' side forever. He has to learn to grow up. As a parent, you should trust him and support him."

Ma Tai could hear Lu Ling's teasing. After all, he used to hold opposing opinions, but Lu Ling always supported his son to go. He even quarreled with Lu Ling about this matter, and now he is somewhat embarrassed.

"Yun Teng hasn't learned any decent martial arts until now. Look at the daughter of the Liu family at the head of the village. She has been learning since she was six years old. It's all because you have always opposed it. Yun Teng is now 17 years old. How can he catch up?" People." Lu Ling complained.

Not long after, the sleepy-faced man came in with the porridge. He seemed to see that Ma Yunteng was crying just now, and said warmly: "Little brother, the porridge is a bit hot, let me blow it for you; by the way, I don't know your name yet." What name, my name is Lan Tian, ​​this name is easy to remember, you can just call me Second Senior Brother from now on."

Looking at Lan Tian's tired face, Ma Yunteng couldn't help but feel grateful, and he rarely squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother. My name is Ma Yunteng, and I want to know, where are my father, my mother, and the rest of our village?"

Lan Tian knew that this matter was cruel to a child, but he had to face it after all. He looked at Ma Yunteng and said, "You still have us."

Hearing this already affirmative answer, Ma Yunteng was neither sad nor happy, and lay on the bed and continued to look at the roof.

There is no unparalleled path in the sky. When there is a catastrophe and apocalypse, there will always be a glimmer of life. This may be the so-called way of heaven.

And Ma Yunteng is the lifeline that survived the catastrophe.

"For Yunteng, one week is enough. I believe in my son, besides, he should pursue what he wants to do when he is young. Otherwise, when he is old, he will look back on his life and find that his life is wasted What's the point of such a life." Ma Tai looked at his wife and comforted him.

"Mom, I have grown up, I want to become stronger, I want to protect you and dad, I want to pursue my own ideals, I firmly believe that I have the ability to protect myself and my family." Ma Yunteng hugged Lu Ling, buried his head on Lu Ling's shoulder, and wanted to let his mother know that he was no longer that kid who could only make trouble.

Lu Ling wiped his wet eyes, and said: "Since your father has promised you, what else can mother say, mother is afraid that you are not deep in the world, what should you do if you meet bad people outside, natural disasters and man-made disasters are the most difficult It’s still people’s hearts that are predicted.”

"Mother, don't worry, if there is a bad person, I will become stronger and defeat him." Ma Yunteng patted his chest and smiled at Lu Ling.
