Chapter 1 I Don’t Want to Be a Beggar ()

Linfangyuan, in front of the most famous brothel in the Great Chu Dynasty of the Xianmeng Continent, a skinny child was holding a shabby porcelain bowl and begging for a fat middle-aged man who had just come out of it, a drunken face and a beard.

"Uncle, give me some charity!" The child raised his ill yellow age who was seven or eight years old, and looked at the nouveau riche businessman who had just satisfied his desire with hope. The emerald ring, a few gold teeth, a dress of silk and satin and a slutty mouth in his hand, keenly told the boy what to do to get a few days of rations.

"Get away, little bastard." The middle-aged man kicked away the thin child hard and scolded loudly. The porcelain bowl fell down. The only livelihood of the beggar orphan was broken. The child obviously encountered such a thing more than once, so he was very calm, but the begging louder and more miserable.

"Master, please, please give me some small rewards." At this time, there is no dignity, and you may be able to endure the beating to get the money for the next few days.

"Genggu, I'm not saying that I didn't. I started to be a beggar at such a young age. I deserve to be a beggar for the rest of my life!" The bearded nouveau riche was obviously tired of this kind of little beggar coming up and kicked him again. He threw down two copper coins and left.

"I usually endure a few kicks and it's a dozen copper coins. I've lost a lot in a few days, but it's not enough to have a meal." The young man's miserable expression disappeared when the man turned around. He said viciously to the man's shaky back, then turned to find the next target, and tried to make up for a few days of meals.

The child's name is Zhou Liang. The history of a professional beggar is five years old for him, a seven-year-old child. The Xianmeng Continent has never lacked war. Although the Great Chu Dynasty is the sea in the east, it is adjacent to the Daliao, the most brutal nomadic country in the Xianmeng Continent, and to the south is one of the branches of the endless mountains of monsters. Therefore, although the Great Chu Dynasty is wide in territory, many young and middle-aged people die every year due to war and monsters. The Great Chu Dynasty's political decay, and the emperor's family's surname has lasted for thousands of years. This is entirely due to supporting the Immortal Cultivation Sect of Dahu that can maintain equality with the Daliao and nearby countries. In the Immeng Continent, everyone's dream is to be able to fly over the clouds and fog like the immortals they see in their lives and seek the way to immortality.

Zhou Liang was no exception. Zhou Liang's parents were small merchants in Tokyo. Later, they fought with the Liao Dynasty. As soon as the conscription order was issued, Zhou Liang's father bid farewell to his wife and two-year-old son and never came back, without even a bone. Zhou Liang's mother wanted to raise the child alone, but there was an unexpected situation. Zhou Liang's mother Dou was originally weak, and she was even more ill after working hard. After lying in bed for two months, she left the two-year-old Zhou Liang and left.

Children who started eating a hundred families at the age of two and started begging at the age of five have experienced the pity of others, abuse from others, and even kicked a few times with bad tempers. From the initial childish crying to the current dull endurance, for Zhou Liang, who was illiterate, there is no value for the poor and dignity. This is the first truth he learned. Zhou Liang's dream is to become an immortal, an immortal that everyone admires. From what he remembers, he first heard an old beggar telling him that the immortal flew to the sky and escaped and could do anything. This is his lifelong dream of Zhou Liang, a seven-year-old orphan beggar. I remember that I was young and ignorant at the time, and I even told this dream, despised by those old beggars and ridiculed by his beggar playmates. Since then, I have never told others again. He buried his wish deeply in his heart.

Back at the City God Temple, where beggars gather at night, his house had long been declining!

"Xiao Liangzi is back." An old beggar in his seventies made a place to greet Zhou Liang.

"Grandpa Qin, Xiaoliang got another steamed bun today, give it to me!" Zhou Liang bought a steamed bun for the two copper coins he had obtained from the fat and huge man. Grandpa Qin has been here for several years. I heard that Grandpa Qin's two sons were all killed in battle, and the government did not send any pension money. He must have been corrupted by those corrupt officials again.

Since I remember, Grandpa Qin has taken care of Zhou Liang a lot. Sometimes the two of them would go out to beg together. No matter what happened outside, Zhou Liang felt warm when he returned to the City God Temple to see Grandpa Qin. All the humiliation and grievances disappeared. To him, Grandpa Qin was no different from his real grandpa, and even closer than Grandpa Qin. "Didn't you say don't give it to me anymore? I begged for a few copper coins today and I've eaten it long ago. Look, I brought two more because I'm afraid you're hungry, come over quickly!" Zhou Liang's nose was a little sour, but he didn't cry!

"Thank you, grandpa, I really ate it." In fact, in addition to the bearded man, Zhou Liang did have more than a dozen copper coins today. This steamed bun was specially brought to Grandpa Qin. Unexpectedly, Grandpa Qin gave him his food for the day. Grandpa Qin, who was full of yellow face and in a bad shirt, was relieved to eat a steamed bun when he was sure that Zhou Liang was really full. The other two steamed buns said they wanted to keep it for breakfast for Zhou Liang. Zhou Liang refused. The two beggars of old and young argued for a long time before they decided to sleep with one person, one old and one young hugged each other.

Tokyo City at night is so prosperous, with traffic, great officials and nobles. The City God Temple at night is so quiet, with only a few subtle snoring sounds. Each beggar's face is sleeping peacefully. All he is waiting to win is not hungry tomorrow. Grandpa Qin looked at Xiao Zhou Liang who was sleeping soundly and smiled with relief. He didn't know how long he, an old beggar, could accompany Xiao Liang.

Things in the world are really impermanent, or God is really ruthless. The second year of Tokyo was particularly cold, and it snowed heavily for seven days and seven nights. Even in the Great Chu Dynasty, it was a heavy snow that never happened in a century. Grandpa Qin, this thin-dressed old man, left on the sixth night of the snow due to hunger and cold.

"Don't cry, Xiaoliang, live strongly, Grandpa Qin is watching you in the sky." This is Grandpa Qin's last words. That night, Xiaoliang cried and cried all night. The next day, Zhou Liang asked an old man to ask for a broken mat, buried Grandpa Qin, and left Tokyo City and started the life of a wandering beggar. Just like a wandering wild cat with no relatives or friends, he was only himself in the world, Zhou Liang himself.

He wanted to find an immortal, he wanted to cultivate immortals, and Zhou Liang decided at the moment Grandpa Qin died! Zhou Liang should not be a beggar for the rest of his life! He wanted to be an immortal cultivator! Be a free and easy person!

"I started to be a beggar at such a young age. I deserve to be a beggar for the rest of my life!" The bearded man's words deeply hurt Zhou Liang and also aroused his unyielding intention. Zhou Liang may be just a beggar, but he does not want to be humiliated or trampled on him. If he was an immortal or an immortal's disciple, Grandpa Qin would not die! He would not be humiliated all day long!

Zhou Liang wanders around each city, and the fairy dream continent has a strong wind of cultivating immortals. Whether it is the dynasty, nobles, to the people and poor and poor people, they all yearn for cultivating immortals and long for cultivating immortals. Zhou Liang is going to the Monster Mountains in the south, because once he heard that the Monster Mountains in the State of Chu had the strongest immortal cultivation sect in the Great Chu!

The seven countries of the Xianmeng Continent, Chu, Wei, Han, Liao, Zhou, Song, Wu, and the seven countries coexist for a long time, and were controlled by the seven largest immortal cultivation sects. The mortal dynasty was just their spokesperson.

These seven major sects are Tianjian Gate, Bajian Gate, Beast Control Sect, Wanfu Gate, Formation Sect, Baihua Valley, and Qingdan Gate. The two sects of these seven major sects are sword cultivators. The sword cultivator's cultivation is all on the sword he practices. There are no external objects, so the sword cultivator is extremely powerful. Among them, the Tianjian Gate and Bajian Gate are stronger!

The Beast Control Sect is famous for its beast control, and there are all women in the Baihua Valley! It is a veritable female sect. The formation sect has two simple words, including the ten thousand formations of the world, and the Qingdan Sect has countless magical pills. This is also the foundation of the Qingdan Sect!

In addition to these seven major sects, there are countless sects such as the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Corpse Yin Sect and other sects! On the East Sea to the east of the Great Chu, there are many large and small sects, the three major forces in the East Sea, the Sanxian Alliance, the Fantasy Demon Dao, and the Wuqing Sect, which are even more powerful in the East Sea!

Zhou Liang actually didn't know that if he wanted to enter the Immortal Cultivation Sect, what he needed was to cultivate the immortal spirit roots, and it was hard for anyone in thousands to cultivate the immortal spirit roots! Zhou Liang was about ten years old at this time! What he thought in his heart was that Zhou Liang should have starved to death when he was two years old, and it was a great luck to survive until today! Zhou Liang wanted to have a big fortune, and he was on the road to seeking immortals even if he died!

Walk west from Tokyo City, begging all the way to the largest city nearest the Monster Mountains to the west!

The mountain city is different from other cities in Dachu. The mountain city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with monster beasts on the northwest and south, and the east is leading to the capital of Dachu. Zhou Liang begged for tens of thousands of miles before he came to the mountain city to get close to the gods and immortals who can fly and escape from the earth. He thought that such an opportunity would be greater!

This is the simple desire of a little ordinary young man. When he comes to the mountain city, many great officials come here every year, and many civilians come here. Major immortal cultivation sects will recruit immortal cultivation disciples here regularly every year. Regardless of origin, only spiritual roots are the foundation that major immortal sects value. Every July, a large number of parents and teachers will come here, in order to let their children cultivate immortality. The spiritual roots are divided into basic attribute spiritual roots and mutated spiritual roots. The basic attribute spiritual roots are five major spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. A single spiritual root is the best. The more mixed attributes, the worse the mutated spiritual roots. The mutated spiritual roots have ice attributes, thunder attributes and other spiritual roots. The mutated attributes are even more unparalleled in the spiritual roots. Not to mention the rapid practice of cultivation, it is even smoother than ordinary spiritual roots in the process of cultivation, whether it is cultivation or heavenly catastrophe.
