chapter 6 ready to go

At noon, Charles carried two bundles of dry firewood to the small town, changed the grain stones, bought steamed buns, walked through the complicated alleys, and came to the Xiucai Gate.

The young man raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but quickly retracted it. He lowered his head, made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand, walking back and forth, and for a moment, he was a little unsteady.

The young man knew in his heart that entering this door meant that he would say goodbye to the small town, leave the brothers he had known for many years, and embark on a new path of cultivation.

At only eighteen years old, he could not live an ordinary life like ordinary people after all. If it were ten years ago, he would have knocked on the door without hesitation, but now, he hesitated.

On the one hand, there is the worry that has "taken root" in the heart for many years, and on the other hand, there is the brotherhood that transcends life and death, which stumps this young man with strong willpower and never admits defeat.

Charles hesitated outside the door for a long time, his feet suddenly stopped, and his clenched fists gradually loosened, as if he had made a decision.

The seaside outside the town

Damian sat cross-legged with the empty fish basket on his lap, folded his arms on the mouth of the fish basket, and rested his chin on the animal's paw, quietly looking at the unusually calm sea.

On the other hand, Adonis was sitting on the edge of the trestle, letting the sea breeze blow over her face, her closed eyes never opening.

Gulu! Gulu!

Bubbles appeared where the fishhook was, ripples appeared on the silent water surface, and the fishing rod in the silver-haired boy's hand shook a few times.

His eyes suddenly opened, he raised the fishing rod, stood on the edge of the trestle, and swayed greatly from side to side to wear down the fish's strength and prevent the big fish from breaking away from the hook and escaping, which is called "fish slipping".

Damian stood up, looked at the fish flipping repeatedly in the water, and cheered: "Slip, slip it."

After a few breaths, the big fish that had been struggling for a long time finally stopped and was slowly dragged to the shore. Adonis used both hands to throw the fish on the shore, sprinkling thousands of crystal clear water drops in the air.

The fish rolled on the ground a few times and then didn't move again. Adonis eyes widened and she shouted to the boy: "Damian, come and see, come here quickly."

The young man held the fish basket and stared at the dying fish, stunned. You know, the fish Adonis caught more than ten days ago was only six inches, but the current one was even bigger than the last one, measuring seven or eight inches.

Adonis threw the fish into the fish basket and said with a smile: "After waiting for so long, I finally got something."

"We have fish soup again tonight." The young man reached out and stroked the greasy fish scales, the smile on his face never stopping.

Since the last time, Adonis has never caught a big fish in more than ten days. She is ridiculed by Charles every day and dare not reply. This time she finally feels confident.

After putting away the big fish, the silver-haired boy didn't stop there. He returned to the previous position and did the same action. Damian looked at the fish in the fish basket and touched the scales from time to time.

The scholar's home in Wu Zheng Town

Iker stood by the window sill with his hands behind his back, looking straight at the vast sky in the distance. The warm sunshine shone on his face, illuminating a somewhat sad look.

"It seems that you don't want to help me anymore."Charles looked at the scholar's back with a somewhat unkind tone.

When Old Man Yang left, the "flow basin" in his body was blocked, preventing him from condensing the flow of surrounding gas. The flow basin would not open, and he would be unable to practice for the rest of his life.

Watershed is the first step in starting cultivation. With a watershed, you can control the flow of gas, referred to as "flow force", to enhance your own strength.

Some monks, favored by God, will create some kind of "divine palace" in the river basin when they open up the river basin.

The divine palaces are divided into ten types: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, light, and darkness. Through one's proficiency in the divine palaces, one can have different abilities.

Of course, most cultivators do not have a divine palace. Those who possess the ability of a divine palace can be said to be the chosen ones.

Now, among the people Charles knew, only scholars could help him. Seeing Iker remained silent, he snorted coldly and raised his feet to leave.

Just as he was about to walk down the stairs, the scholar turned around and said helplessly: "Think clearly, once you set foot on this road, I don't need to say more about what kind of enemies you will face in the future."

The young man turned his back to him, gritted his teeth, and said seriously: "I want to go my own way. Even if I die on this road halfway, I won't have any regrets."

The scholar sat on the wooden chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and said calmly: "I can help you solve the problem of the watershed."

After saying that, he stood up suddenly, pointed two fingers at the young man's back, and an invisible wave of air swept away. The tables, stools, doors and windows in the room were shaking back and forth, but the tea in the tea cup was not spilled.

The shackles that restrain the young man are disintegrating little by little.

After a while, the scholar retracted his arm and sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said expressionlessly: "Since you have made a choice, then go ahead and do it."

There was wind at the young man's feet, and he came to the stairs in the blink of an eye. With a plop, he knelt down in the direction of the scholar and said slowly: "She'll just ask her."

The tea cup in Xiucai's hand fell to the ground, and there was a crisp sound that made him stand up quickly. The corners of his eyes were red, and he forced a smile and said, "Aren't you going to see her?"

The young man smiled bitterly, shook his head, and walked down the stairs.

The scholar hurriedly walked to the stairs, grabbed the railing beside the stairs with both hands, swallowed the words he blurted out, and said calmly: "You may be right."

The young man looked up at him, his dark pupils showing no emotion, and warned in a deep voice: "I hope you won't tell them about me, I don't want to involve them."

"Otherwise! I will never forgive you." After saying that, Charles left quietly.

Click! Click!

The scholar stood there in a daze, with some sharp sword energy flowing out of his body. He clenched the railing with both hands, and veins suddenly appeared. The railing broke with a sound, and the pieces fell from his hands.

He shook his head and said with a smile: "Can't we change this family's competitive, affectionate and righteous temper? It's really uncomfortable to have everything in your arms."

"Charles, even if you hate me all your life, if my words or actions can bring you peace, then you can just hate me."

Iker hands were covered with debris. He walked to the window sill, stared at the clouds that were about to set in the west, and smiled lightly.

In the small town, the commoner old man bought a coir raincoat and put it on his body. The difference between the honest young man and him was that he had a fish basket and a fishing rod in his hand.

The two stood on the steps outside the store, watching the people coming and going. A jumping girl wearing white clothes and a ponytail passed by them.

The old man stretched out his hand to stop the girl, leaned down and asked kindly: "Girl, I want to go fishing at the beach, but I'm afraid I'll go the wrong way. Can you take me there?"

Phoebe blinked her clear and smart eyes and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa wants to go fishing at the beach?"

She was stopped by a strange old man for no reason. She was very panicked. She didn't hear what the old man said clearly. She only heard a general idea. Then she saw the honest young man holding fishing gear, and then she thought of going to the beach to fish.

The old man glanced at the young man behind him, then turned his head and said kindly: "Yes, although he and I are outsiders, we are not bad people. You don't have to be afraid."

"I'm going to the beach right now, and I can show you the way." The girl nodded and smiled.

The old man stood up, looked around, and happened to see a man selling candied haws, and immediately said to the young man: "Go and buy a bunch of candied haws for the girl."

The honest young man had just taken two steps when the girl hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you don't have to buy me candied haws. If you have to buy it for me, can you buy two bunches?"

The old man asked in confusion: "Why do you have to buy two skewers? Can you finish it by yourself?"

The girl bit her finger, a little embarrassed: "I have a friend waiting for me at the beach. If possible, I would also like to bring him a bunch of candied haws."

"So that's it." The old man rubbed her head, looked at the honest young man, and said, "Go and buy two strings for the girl."

The girl grasped the old man's big hand with her two small hands and said gratefully: "Thank you, grandpa, thank you, grandpa."

"It's okay, it's okay." The old man said with a smile.

The girl held two bunches of candied haws in her hands and led the way. As soon as she left the town, her speed gradually slowed down, and finally she stopped walking.

"Girl, what's wrong? Are we going the wrong way?" Looking at the aggrieved girl, the old man asked doubtfully.

The girl pouted, slowly raised her head, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, if you saw a person with an animal paw, would you think that person was a monster? Would you bully him?"

"Why did you say that?" Without waiting for the old man to answer, the honest young man behind him raised his eyes and thought it was interesting, so he spoke first.

The old man glared at him, as if to say, "I'm talking to the girl, why are you interrupting? What does this matter have to do with you? It's getting more and more outrageous."

The honest young man hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, glanced at the surrounding peaks, and said in his heart, "I'm just asking for you. What's so great about it? I won't ask anymore. I won't ask anymore. Isn't it okay if I don't ask anymore." "

The girl hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said, "Because, my friend has an animal paw. People in the town hate him and often beat him."

The old man asked: "Then why do you want to be friends with him? Aren't you afraid of him?"

The girl shook her little head like a rattle and said seriously: "He is not a bad person. I want to help him heal that arm, but now I can't find any clues."

The old man nodded slowly, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "Girl, the reason why you want two bunches of candied haws on a stick is to give them to your friend."

The girl's arms drooped, she didn't dare to look up at the old man, she just kept nodding.

"Girl, you are very warm-hearted at a young age." The old man looked at the sensible and well-behaved girl and said casually: "I don't know which brat I will take advantage of in the future."

The girl's mouth was slightly open, her face full of astonishment, and she stared blankly at the old man.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh." The honest young man rubbed his throat hard.

The old man blew his beard and glared: "If you have something to say, just say it! Is what I just said wrong?"

"Yes, yes, my throat feels uncomfortable. If you are angry, please don't take it out on me. I am not a punching bag." The honest young man complained.

"Hey?! Are you still reasonable?" The old man rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to hit him.

When the girl saw this scene, she immediately regretted it and took them to the beach to fish. The honest young man protected his head with both hands, glanced at the frightened girl from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly winked at the old man.

After that, after the old man tried his best to persuade, the girl agreed to take them to the beach. However, one thing was that she could not bully her friend with the beast's paw, let alone look at him coldly.
