"Ah Dou, be careful this time. Remember, it's the hope of our whole village."
"I know. Don't worry. I will come back. I will come back then."
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of our parents. Don't worry."
"Well, I can go in."
In a small mountain village, a tall figure kept waving his hands behind him, carrying all his packages, and left here without looking back at the last sound of farewell and encouragement.
As the only gifted child in the village, ah Dou was lucky to get the guidance of an unknown elder when he was young, and he started the road of cultivation from then on.
Although they have their own handed down skills in their village, none of them have been given to him by his predecessors. Only he can practice better skills.
He has excellent talent in the village. In addition to some resources left by his predecessors and some resources accumulated by the village, his cultivation speed is fast. Others have to work to strive for a meager income. He is the only one
Of course, he has a goal, that is, to join those groups that are far away from him, so that he can further ascend.
Because with the improvement of his strength, his hometown has been unable to provide him with continuous cultivation, and all the resources left by his predecessors have been used up. Next, either go out to work to support himself, but also accumulate resources for cultivation.
Or you have to enter the sects founded by those big races to serve them. Only they have enough resources to train their subordinates. Of course, since entering them is equivalent to working hard for each other, and the other party will not treat them badly. Not to mention the cultivation resources, there is also a large settlement fee at home.
There's no way. Although everyone here can practice. Generally, there's no problem in cultivating the second and third levels, it's only like this, because most of the world can't continue to let them practice like this. They can only rely on the black core to continue to practice, or go to the small world that can bear higher.
But those worlds are all controlled by the hundred leagues, and they are also controlled by the big races. If you want to pass, you naturally need to join each other.
Those who really have status are called survivors, and ordinary people like them are called survivors. The difference is very clear.
With a vision for the future, ah Dou went to the nearest city. According to the news from the village head, the ten-year recruitment plan began again.
In just three days, ADU traveled day and night without any rest. He came to the only city nearby.
In fact, their whole village and surrounding villages serve the city. It is difficult to survive away from the city. Only those creatures who wander outside and have no mind are enough for them to have a headache.
People come and go in the huge city, and there are mottled traces of years on the tens of feet high wall.
A Dou didn't stop much and went straight to the center. Like him, many young people came here with dreams and hoped to be selected by the other party.
However, most of them come from hope and return from disappointment, because the other party's choice is very strict. It depends not only on your talent, but also on your specialty. In short, the more prominent it is, the easier it is to be selected, and those resources are not blown by the wind.
A person has only three opportunities in his life, and he can't exceed a certain age. All cities will choose at the same time. When he is miserable, he hasn't been selected for hundreds of years.
A Dou is very confident, because the elder who is optimistic about him now remembers that he is also a monster in the air. Watch him.
Moreover, his own talent is also good. He needs to be selected. Even if he can't be selected, he must also be selected into the spare tire plan, because the village has poured too much effort into him. If he fails, he really has no face.
The spare tire plan, that is, going to be a servant, is equivalent to an external disciple, but after a period of time, if there is no accident, they can only be repatriated.
Even so, some external doors also have counter attacks, which encourages others to want to go in. As long as they go in, they will have an exciting income.
In the center, there was a table that had been set up for a long time. A man with hair and shawl was already sitting there. There was a long line in front of him. He was winding around for several times and continued to queue honestly.
Because there are only three days in total, it's out of date. However, there is experience here, and everything is in order. Ah Dou quickly came to the back of the team, and soon there were people behind him.
When he came here, half of the first day passed. He was not in a hurry. Many people around him, like him, were wearing clean and shabby clothes, and those people with bright clothes had no intention of looking at them with alternative eyes.
When the sky was dark and the surroundings were lit up by lighting spells, it was finally his turn.
"Name?"
"Ah Dou."
"Accomplishments and age."
"Five steps, twenty-four."
"Go in."
The man simply looked at the other party, clicked on the other party's arm, identified him for the first assessment, and then waved the other party in.
There is a huge yard behind him, in which there is a man waiting for his arrival, and at the end behind him, there is a long stool on which a localized demon clan has been sitting.
There is a door to leave here in front, which is a channel for the losers. When ah Dou went in, he saw the man in front of him, who had left disappointed.
"Stand up quickly, block my blow, and then I'll judge." the person assessed was so grumpy. When he saw Ah Dou stop in place, he immediately drank.
A Dou quickly turned his eyes around and stood trembling in a designated circle, looking at the examiner barehanded.
Most of them were practicing. He came out only a few times. For a moment, he was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
The examiner doesn't ask the other party. After all, the other party's adaptability is also a kind of ability. When he sees the other party standing there, he directly blows it in one breath.
Yes, in one breath, although his cultivation is also very low. He was promoted only in the early stage of the ghost, and has not been promoted for decades, but those guys who don't even have a black soul are really afraid of killing each other accidentally.
It was a breath for him when he came, but for ah Dou, it was like a hurricane blowing on the ground in front of him, whistling towards him, and his whole body wanted to float.
At this time, he reacted. He grabbed it from the inside of his hand. A long stick formed of soil broke the stone below and held it firmly in his hand. It seemed that the whole person was constantly fluttering in the air, like a raised flag.
"Yes, the reaction was OK." the examiner flashed in his heart, and then stamped his foot on the ground before the strong wind in the air fell.
Just under ah Dou's body, he began to shake quickly. This time, ah Dou could no longer support. When he saw that the whole body was about to fly, suddenly a force in his body came out on the surface of his body. The whole person firmly grasped the stone pillar again. Compared with before, now it is a ship anchor fixed in the air, motionless.
At this moment, the examiner showed a trace of surprise in his eyes, then took a closer look, nodded slightly, and then his feet moved slightly. Ah Dou's body over there was immediately thrown out and fell on the ground in a hurry.
Ah Dou, who was lying on the ground, didn't get up for the first time. His eyes were filled with tears and tried to keep it from flowing. It was so close that he could stick to it for a while, but he didn't stick to it in the end.
At the thought of this, his heart was like a knife. It was even more painful at the thought of his failure to go back. When he came out, he vowed how to go back to face his relatives. The tears in his eyes finally burst the embankment and stopped the monster in the air.
After a little wiping, ah Dou stood up and walked towards the road he left in order not to let the other party see him.
"Hey, why are you going? Come back!" when the examiner saw the other party leaving, he quickly called the other party.
"Didn't I fail?" ah Dou turned his head in surprise when he heard a different voice behind him. The mess on his face was clearly seen by the other party.
"You failed, but I think you are OK. As a candidate, if you can work hard in it, it is not impossible to enter it." the examiner saw the other party's appearance, knew what the other party was thinking and spoke directly.
This boy is OK, but his cultivation has some unstable foundations and needs to be polished, so he will be listed as a candidate.
"Really? I'm really selected," ah Dou was stunned and asked again in disbelief.
"Of course, you go to the back room. Naturally, someone will receive you. Leave quickly. I have to continue other examinations." the examiner pointed to the room not far from the side and said.
"Oh, oh, thank you, thank you, my Lord." ah Dou immediately turned sad and happy, but his eyes still shed tears. It was a surprise.
After a while, ah Dou came out of the side door with a big package. He never felt the sky so beautiful, even if it was dark.
After receiving a generous settlement fee, ah Dou immediately rushed home. He had to come back within a week, or he wouldn't wait for him. The man he saw before also passed the test, but the other party asked the people who came with him to take him back and he stayed there.
When he left the city, he did not know that a figure also followed behind each other.
Four days later, after resting at home, ah Dou left here again. He knew that after this separation, he might never see people he knew, even his parents and brothers, when he came back.
If he can have a future, their hometown will be at least much better, and with this settlement fee, they don't need to save as before for hundreds of years.
"Goodbye."
A Dou took a final look and then quickly left here.
"Bang"
Not long after he left his hometown, suddenly there was a vibration in the distance, which immediately attracted his attention. After a little hesitation, ah Dou went to see what had happened.
Not far away, he saw a small pit on the ground. A little closer, he saw a strange creature lying in it.
It seems to be a kind of fish. The reminder is about the size of the palm. The whole body is light green, but the outside is dark blue, reflecting wisps of light. There is a long line like a fish line at the top of the head, and a super mini lantern is connected at the end. The faint green light flashes, indicating that the owner's situation seems to be not good.
Ah Dou has never seen this strange creature. It looks very strange. He can only feel the weakness from each other's body. He seems to be injured. Look around. There will be no one in the empty field. Then he came forward and brought up the little fish.
"Woo woo"
The little fish opened his eyes weakly, and his mouth made a sad sound, which made people feel the pain of the other party. He showed a trace of struggle on ah Dou's face, and then took out a golden pill from his arms.
This is also what the other party gave him to protect his life. This one can heal the black soul below the peak.
At this time, he left all the things he had to leave in the village, but after hearing the little fish groan in his hand, he didn't hesitate to send the only pill to the little fish's mouth.
When the little fish of this pill looks much more stable, ah Dou puts each other in his arms and lets each other have a good rest and hurry on his way again.
When he returned to the assessment site in the city, all the assessments had been completed. To his surprise, within the whole three days, that is, he and the man he first met were qualified. The other party passed directly and determined his status. He had to go in and investigate. If not, he had to be beaten back.
At this time, there was still half a day to leave. At the gathering place, there was only the young man. He looked a little arrogant. When he saw Ah Dou coming in, he just glanced at him. He didn't mean to talk to him at all. Ah Dou didn't ask for trouble. He talked to each other and went straight aside to wait for the examiner to come over.
As soon as he got there, he felt a move in his arms, put his hand in and took out the monster in the air on the way. He saw that the other party had completely woke up. When he saw Ah Dou, he jumped out of his palm with joy, swam around him happily, and even swept his tail across ah Dou's cheek.
The latter felt the itch and couldn't help laughing. He had never seen such a lovely guy.
His voice attracted the attention of the man next to him. He turned his head and looked at this side with some dissatisfaction. He was ready to tell the other party that it needed to be quiet here, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw the strange creature, which made his eyes almost fall off.
Although he didn't know what the creature was, he knew at a glance that this unusual little thing should be a rare beast.
As a transit, this little thousand world has a large scope. It has not entered its old age, but it is about to leave its middle age. Some strange animals will still be born, but they are rarely seen. I didn't expect that this guy who doesn't know from which wilderness can get such good luck.
At this time, he was already jealous. He was rich at home in this small world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough resources to practice, but he didn't have such good luck.
"You look better. You leave. I'll leave here later."
When he was looking at this side with envy, he suddenly heard the silly boy speak loudly. He stood up and walked straight towards each other. However, his good cultivation still made him refrain from yelling when he walked into each other.
"What are you doing?" instead, ah Dou looked at each other and said.
"Meet me, my name is Mingxuan. You are another candidate." Mingxuan stretched out his hand and said.
"My name is ah Dou. Nice to meet you." ah Dou also said happily. This should be his first friend.
Mingxuan shamelessly pulled back his hand and decided not to get angry with this guy who didn't know anything, and didn't say anything politely. Otherwise, I'm afraid the other party didn't understand what he said.
"Where did this come from? I remember you didn't bring it out of your house when you came a few days ago?" Mingxuan said, pointing to the small fish flying around.
If you took it last time, I'm afraid you can do core guidance like him without more tests.
"Oh, this is not from my house, but I picked it up on the road when I came over, but the other party was injured." ah Dou was very honest and told the story without any concealment.
Hearing the other party's usual complaint, Mingxuan felt that the other party was deliberately angry with himself, repeatedly suppressing the ups and downs in his heart, so he continued to ask.
"If I heard you right, you just said you were going to drive the other party away, right?"
"It's not rush, it's to let the other party go back where it should go. I'm so sad when I leave my hometown. The other party must be unhappy if I leave, and I'm leaving here. I don't know when I can come back, so I let it leave." ah Dou said again with a natural look.
"In that case, give me the other party. It seems that the other party's injury is not all right. I'll take charge of it and let it recover completely. It's better than following you. I'll put the other party back at that time." Mingxuan stopped and said immediately.
"Good."
Ah Dou's answer made him overjoyed. Although he couldn't help scolding the other party as a fool, he was too simple, but his face looked like what the other party thought.
A Dou stretched out his hand to catch the fish, but the flexible swing of the fish in the air made him unable to catch it. He also made a pleading voice in his mouth. He seemed unwilling to leave, which slowed down his action and hesitated to say to Mingxuan.
"The other party doesn't want to, or you'd better stay with me first. When it leaves, let it decide."
As soon as his voice fell, Xiaoyu turned excited. His small cold mouth was for ah Dou's cheek, as if he understood each other's words.
What else did Mingxuan want to say? At this time, the examiner had come and wanted to take them away from here. Looking at the little fish, a strange flash flashed in his eyes. Of course, he asked curiously. After learning the whole story, he was also praised.
"This spirit thing really depends on fate. Others can't take it away by force. If you can stay with you for a long time, it will be a monster in the air."
His words made Mingxuan completely eliminate the idea in his heart. This is the fate of others. No one can take it away. He just envied each other for such good luck and couldn't help saying.
"Why don't I have such good luck."
"Hey, hey"
Ah Dou also knows something. He teases the fish with his hands. It seems that there is a feeling between them,
"Well, let's go now. I'm telling you some rules on the way. I'm lucky this time. There are two." the examiner said to the two people.
The three people leave here together towards the final meeting point, where they will meet and leave with others.
