Immortal Renegade

Chapter 1 Leaving Home
Tie Zhu was sitting on the side of the road in the village, looking at the blue sky with a dazed expression. Tie Zhu was not his real name, but his nickname because of his thin body since childhood, and his father was afraid that he would not be able to support him, so he called him by custom.

His real name is Wang Lin, and the surname Wang is considered a common surname in the surrounding villages. His ancestors were born carpenters, especially in the county seat. The Wang family is also quite famous and owns several shops specializing in selling wood products.

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

Because of his superb carpentry work, Tie Zhu's family was considered a relatively well-off, and he was not worried about food and clothing, and even in the village, he was much respected.

Tie Zhu has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. He likes to read and has many 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 took good care of him. It can be said that since childhood, Tie Zhu lived in the love of his parents. He knew that his parents had high expectations for him, and that children from other families had already gone to work in the fields at his age. , but he is studying at home.

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

Sitting in the courtyard, his father took a deep breath and said to Tie Zhu, who pushed in the door, with a smoking bag in his hand, "Tie Zhu, how is your reading?"

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

"Okay, you talk about it every day and ask me to tell me that our family Tie Zhu will definitely pass the test." Tie Zhu's mother, carrying the food on the table in the courtyard, called their father and son to come over for dinner.

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

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

"Calculate the time, it's almost been these few days. Your fourth uncle is more promising than your father. Alas, my mother, are all the mountain vegetables prepared for the fourth child ready?" When the father mentioned the fourth child, his face showed a sigh of sigh. color.

The mother nodded and said with emotion: "Tie Zhu, your fourth uncle is a good man. Thanks to his help in the past few years, the wood carvings your father made can be sold for a price. If you have something to do in the future, don't forget to repay your fourth uncle."

Just as he was talking, suddenly there was the sound of horses outside the door, followed by the clattering of the carriages, and a hearty voice sounded outside.

"Second brother, open the door."

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

Tie Zhu's parents stood up quickly, his father smiled and said, "Fourth, I have an appointment, you are coming soon, come in quickly, Tie Zhu, don't go get a stool for your fourth uncle."

Tie Zhu answered happily, hurried back to the room, took out a stool and placed it by the dining table, wiped it with his sleeves, and looked at the middle-aged man with hope.

The middle-aged man winked at him and said jokingly: "Tie Zhu, why are you so diligent this time? I remember when I came last time, you weren't like this."

Tie Zhu's father glared at Tie Zhu and scolded with a smile, "This little bastard was just talking about whether you are coming soon."

The middle-aged man saw Tie Zhu's blushing blushing and said with a smile: "Tie Zhu, your fourth uncle has not forgotten what he promised you." After speaking, he took out two linear books from his arms and put them on the table.

Tie Zhu cheered excitedly, picked up the book and flipped through it, unable to help himself.

Tie Zhu's mother looked at her son kindly, and said to the middle-aged man, "Fourth, your brother always talks about you, so let's stay for a few more days this time."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Second sister-in-law, the family has a lot of things these days. I have to rush back tomorrow morning. When this time is over, I will come to see you again." After speaking, he looked at himself apologetically. elder brother.

Tie Zhu's father sighed and said, "Fourth, don't listen to your sister-in-law. Pack the goods tomorrow. Family matters are the most important, and it's the same when we get together in the future."

The middle-aged man looked at Tie Zhu's father and said, "Second brother, is Tie Zhu 15 years old this year?"

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 in a flash. It's really fast." He looked at his son with a doting look in his eyes.

The middle-aged man pondered a little, his face became solemn, and said: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, let me tell you something, Hengyue sent disciples this year, the family has three recommended places, and I have one for me."

Tie Zhu's father was stunned for a moment, then said with a pale face: "The Hengyue faction? But the Hengyue faction, which is all immortals?"

The middle-aged man smiled, nodded and said, "Second brother, it's the immortal sect. Our family is considered a prestigious family in the vicinity, and we are qualified to recommend. As you know, my boy is not good at reading, but he is good at dancing with knives and swords. I wonder if immortals are not. The conference will accept my boy, this is a precious place, 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, this... this..."

The middle-aged man touched Tie Zhu's head and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, I think this is settled as it is. Let Tie Zhu try it out. 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 were saying, 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 great powers, and it is not something we mortals can ponder."

While Tie Zhu was ignorant, he became curious about immortals.

Tie Zhu's father got up excitedly and pulled Tie Zhu's mother to bow to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man hurriedly lifted them up and said sincerely, "Second brother, what are you doing? My mother died early. It wasn't that Erniang took care of me when I was a child, and I couldn't be where I am today, Tie Zhu is my nephew, so I should have done it."

Tie Zhu's father sighed with emotion, patted the middle-aged man heavily, nodded, and then said sharply to Tie Zhu: "Wang Lin, remember, no matter what in the future, don't forget your fourth uncle's kindness to our family, Otherwise, I won't have your son!"

Tie Zhu trembled in his heart. Although he was still ignorant about immortals, he could see from the expressions of his parents that they attached great importance to this matter, so he knelt down in front of his fourth uncle and kowtowed a few times.

The middle-aged man pulled up Tie Zhu and said admiringly, "Good boy, clean up these days, I'll pick you up at the end of the month!"

Later that night, Tie Zhu went to bed early, and he could hear the voices of his father and fourth uncle in the yard. Father was very happy today. He rarely drank, so he would have a few drinks with his fourth uncle no matter what.

"Immortal? What is it?" Tie Zhu was very excited, and his young mind vaguely knew that this would be an opportunity for him, an opportunity to go to the outside world!
Early the next morning, the fourth uncle left. Tie Zhu's parents took him to the entrance of the village. On the way back, Tie Zhu clearly saw that his father seemed to be much younger all at once, and his eyes were full of expectations.

This look of expectation is much stronger than when he was asked to take the county exam before.

There are no secrets at all in Xiaoshan Village. Even if a dog gives birth to a few cubs, it can spread to the whole village in an instant. Soon, everyone in the village learned the news from Tie Zhu's mother, and they came to visit one after another. When they look at Tie Zhu, their eyes are different, with envy and jealousy...

"The Wang family gave birth to a good baby, and they were accepted as disciples by Hengyue."

"I've watched Tie Zhu grow up since he was a child. This child is smart since he was a child. This time he becomes a disciple of the Hengyue School, and he will definitely have great prospects in the future."

"Tie Zhu has the ability. Don't forget our village when you are successful in the future. Come back and have a look."

Words like this poured into Tie Zhu's ears, and he gradually said that he had become a disciple of the Hengyue School. 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 and ask questions, and some even took Tie Zhu as an example and taught him in front of their own children.

Half a month passed quickly, and news of Tie Zhu becoming a disciple of the Hengyue Sect spread quickly. Villagers from the surrounding ten miles and eight townships came to congratulate him one after another. Their main purpose was to take a look at Tie Zhu.

When everyone came, they would prepare a gift, and Tie Zhu's parents couldn't get rid of it, so they accepted it.However, when these people leave, they will prepare a heavy return gift for them. According to Tie Zhu's father, our baby will be an immortal in the future, and he cannot be allowed to owe so many human debts. Villagers, we all give him a gift in return.

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

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

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

The teacher didn't charge anything for anything, but only asked Tie Zhu to admit that he had studied with him since he was a child, and Tie Zhu didn't say anything about it.

After the invitation was delivered, most of the relatives in the Wang family came to celebrate. Due to the large number of visitors, Tie Zhu's father chose the reception venue in the square in the center of the village, and set up hundreds of tables for banquets.

The residents of the village helped to entertain themselves, and when they talked to each other, they all praised Tie Zhu and praised him a lot.

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

"This is your third grandfather. When your father left the family, your third grandfather helped a lot in secret, Tie Zhu, you will pay back in the future." Tie Zhu's father supported a white-haired old man and said to Wang Lin.

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

Tie Zhu's father was blushing and said with a smile, "Third grandfather, Tie Zhu has been smart since he was a child, and he is designated to be better than me. You always walk slowly, my mother, and help the third grandfather over there."

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

After seeing the old man gone, Tie Zhu's father snorted and said to Tie Zhu: "This old guy, he didn't look down on your father at first, so he insisted on forcing me to leave, but now Tie Zhu, you are very successful, come here again to congratulate you, This relative, that's it."

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

Tie Zhu's father shook his head and said, "Your fourth uncle sent a letter. He can't come back when he is out of town. He can only come back when he picks you up at the end of the month."

At this moment, another horse-drawn carriage approached, and after stopping at the entrance of the village, a more than 50-year-old man came out. He looked at Tie Zhu's father, sighed softly, and said, "Second brother, congratulations."

Tie Zhu's father looked complicated, and after a long time said, "Big brother..."

The old man swept his gaze, looked at Tie Zhu, and said with a smile: "Second child, this is your boy, yes, maybe he will be selected this time."

Tie Zhu's father frowned, then stretched out, and said, "Tie Zhu, this child has no merit, he is just clever and willing to study, this time he will be selected."

"That's not necessarily the case. The immortal sect has very strict requirements for accepting disciples. It pays attention to whether there is immortality. I think this kid is stupid, and it's no use to go." An arrogant voice came from the carriage. A boy of sixteen or seventeen.

The young man was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his face was like a crown of jade, and his eyes showed contempt.

Tie Zhu's father glared at him, while Wang Lin took a deep look at the other party and said nothing.

The old man looked solemn and shouted: "Wang Zhuo, why are you so rude, this is your second uncle, this is your younger brother Wang Lin, and I'm still rude." After speaking, he said to Tie Zhu's father: "The dog speaks rudely, Second child, don't mind, but..." After saying this, he changed his words and said: "But second child, this immortal accepting disciples is not such a simple matter, it needs to pay attention to fate, this time it is Hengyue School Daoxu Shangxian valued Inuzi, that's why he was interested in my Wang family, and gave three places including Inuzi."

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

The young man laughed and didn't care about the old man's scolding at all, and said contemptuously: "You are the second uncle, I advise you not to think about it, this system of cultivating immortals is similar to nothing, this stupid boy can't be the same as Ben The young master compares, this young master is a disciple appointed by the immortal master, can he compare?"

A look of pride flashed across the old man's face, he reprimanded a few more words, clenched his fists at Tie Zhu's father, and led the boy to the banquet.

"Tie Zhu, don't be under pressure. It's not a big deal if you're not selected. It's the same thing when you go to the county exam next year." Tie Zhu's father held back the weather for a long time, and then calmed down after a long time. He said earnestly.

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

Tie Zhu's father gently patted his son's shoulder, his eyes showing hope.

He welcomed many relatives one after another, and Tie Zhu's father finally took him back to the banquet. At this time, the place was full of friends, and the scene was very lively. Everyone celebrated each other and was bustling.

"Family relatives, elders and villagers, I, Wang Tianshui, have no culture and can't say anything, but I am happy today. My baby has the opportunity to be selected as a disciple by Hengyue, which is the happiest thing in my life. I won't say more about it, thank you for coming here to congratulate me, thank you!" Tie Zhu's father finished speaking aloud, and picked up the glass to clean up.

"Second child, your baby is smart and clever since she was a child. She will definitely be selected and become an immortal just like Wang Zhuo's child."

"Second brother, if you have Tie Zhu as a child, your life will not be in vain. You can just wait and enjoy the happiness in the future."

"Tie Zhu, give your father a fight, this time you will enter the Hengyue faction no matter what."

The scene was full of excitement and celebratory noises all over the place, but secretly, there were also many people with the mentality of watching the fun, such as Wang Zhuo's father, who was like this. This is even more so for his children. He looked at his own boy, and then at Tie Zhu. He was quite disapproving. The fourth child in his heart gave up his place this time. Although it was beyond his expectations, as long as those immortals were not blind , it is impossible to select Tiezhu.

There are various situations in life, and everyone here can see them one by one. Tie Zhu's father pulled Tie Zhu, toasted from table to table, and introduced him one unfamiliar relative after another.

On this day, Tie Zhu's father drank a lot of wine. He had never been so beautiful. Until very late, relatives left one after another.Before leaving, the young Wang Zhuo still had that look of contempt, and whispered in Tie Zhu's ear when he was not paying attention, "Silly boy, you won't be selected, you don't have that 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 that he would be selected no matter what!

Half a month passed in a hurry. On this day, Fourth Uncle Tie Zhu came with 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 long this time, I will pick up Tie Zhu and leave immediately, tomorrow morning Hengyue dispatch will be there. I'm coming to pick someone up."

Tie Zhu's father was stunned, with a hint of reluctance on his face, and said decisively: "Okay, Tie Zhu, follow your fourth uncle, you... if you are selected, you will be in the Hengyue faction. 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, go out and listen to the fourth uncle, don't make trouble, outside is no better than at home, be patient when things go wrong. , Mother has prepared some new clothes for you, as well as your favorite baked sweet potato, mother will miss you, if you are not chosen, come back..." Tie Zhu's mother said, tears flowed. down.

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

The fourth uncle sighed with emotion and said: "Tie Zhu, give your parents a fight, you must be selected. Second brother, second sister-in-law, the family will have a large celebration party in a few days. I'm in a hurry today, I'll pick you up tomorrow. Go there together, the three dolls of the family are recommended to go up, and then there will be results."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Tie Zhu into the carriage in a hurry, whipped the horse, and walked away.

Tie Zhu's parents kept crying as they watched the carriage that disappeared quickly.

"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.

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