Cheng Wen walked alone on the roadside bored, thinking in his heart that he couldn't even touch the north. In fact, since he left school, he had regretted it because with his learning ability, it would be easy to get into a key high school in the future, but things in this world are not something he can control. When you run in one direction, what is waiting for you may not be the sunshine, but the thorns are densely packed. Therefore, in this world, as a person, you must first learn to give up, just like you gave up learning at the beginning. Cheng Wen has a deep feeling about this. As he gets older, he sees this matter more and more thoroughly.

"Don't go forward any longer, I'm not polite to go." Just as Chengwen kept walking forward, a muffled voice came from behind. He subconsciously looked back without seeing anyone's existence. He didn't care and continued to move forward.

"Hey, what about you, boy, didn't you hear it? Let me tell you, boy, if you go forward and don't listen to me, be careful that my century-old ancestor is rude to you. I haven't seen you a fresh doll like you in a hundred years, haha." There were another gloomy voice behind Chengwen.

Chengwen couldn't help but stop curiosity in his heart, and slowly turned around and looked back. There was nothing else except a tall tree. This time he did not continue to move forward, but kept watching around with his eyes wide open. He wanted to find out where the sound came from, but after searching all the grass and trees around him, he did not find anything special. Could it be that he had seen a ghost in broad daylight?

"What are you? Why can't I see you? If you don't come out, I'll leave." Cheng Wen spoke. To be honest, he didn't believe that there would be ghosts and gods in this world.

"I said I wouldn't let you go, you can't leave. If you don't believe me, you can go." The voice came again.

Chengwen didn't believe what he said. He tried to step forward with his left foot. When he raised his foot, he found that he could not move. He used all his strength to get rid of the situation where his foot was fixed on the ground, as if something was stuck on it. He looked down and found that there was something like a vine wrapped around his feet. He bent down to try to untie the vine, but when he reached out to touch the vine, the vine seemed to be tighter, so he simply couldn't understand and sat on the ground, waiting for the sound to come again.

"Haha, aren't you going to leave? Now I won't stop you, leave, I see how capable you are, and I don't even listen to my words. Do you know? I can kill you if I don't come out, do you know? I haven't seen someone like you for a hundred years. Every day in front of me is rabbits, rats, etc., hey, such days are really boring." Sure enough, not long after, the voice came again.

Chengwen was more careful now. He listened carefully and found that the sound came from the big tree. His first judgment was a century-old tree spirit. Chengwen was not afraid, but he wanted to see what games this old tree spirit wanted to play with him.

"But don't worry, baby, I won't let you die. I've been waiting for a hundred years and finally waited for someone like you. If I miss you, maybe I will never see anyone again in my life. Besides, you are such a handsome young man, and I will not let you die, haha." After speaking, he was too busy to say anything else.

"Hey, don't leave, can you let me go? It's getting dark, it's time for me to go home for dinner." Cheng Wen shouted loudly.

"Boy, you listen to me the most, otherwise I will not let you have good fruits. Since I have come to me, I must pass my first level first. I will not let you eat a little bite of water for three days. If you are not dead by then, I will continue to test you until I am satisfied, hahaha." After saying that, a few laughs gradually faded away.

Ah, I don’t eat for three days and don’t drink water. How can I bear it? Isn’t this intention to kill me? Cheng Wen was just about to shout, but when he thought, it’s useless to shout, it’s better to calm down and save some effort, hey, how could I come here? How could I meet this old tree spirit? He said that he hadn’t seen anyone for a hundred years. Is this true? Cheng Wen’s mind was full of questions, and as he thought about it, he fell asleep in a daze.

Three days passed quickly. On the morning of the third day, Chengwen slowly opened his eyes and woke up. He looked at the blue sky without a trace of clouds, and from time to time, birds flew around in the air. He wanted to sit up, but felt that he had no strength. He suddenly thought that he had not eaten for three days, and that he had only a little breath left at this time. Are he really going to die here? Thinking of this, Chengwen's eyes flashed with a trace of despair. He didn't want to die, at least he didn't want to die yet. He had not enjoyed the passion of love between men and women. He had not fulfilled his filial piety as a son. The family he had finally formed had not yet enjoyed the warmth. Are he really going to die here?

"Boy, are you not dead yet?" Just as Cheng Wen was thinking about it, an old man's face appeared on his head.

"Do you hope I will die so much?" Cheng Wen suddenly gained his spirits when he saw hope.

"Of course not. To be honest, I don't want you to die, because if you die, no one will collect my body." The old man said affectionately.

"I, why did I collect your body? I don't know you." Cheng Wen said.

"Boy, remember, now you listen to whatever I say. If you dare to refute, I will let you suffer a little."

When Cheng Wen heard the old man say this, he immediately didn't dare to speak.

"Boy, you have passed my first level successfully. The second level is to get my three big crutches." After saying that, the old man waved the crutches in his hand and beat Chengwen.

Cheng Wen now figured it out. It turned out that the sound coming from the tree was made by the old man in front of him. No wonder it sounded so familiar. But why did he test himself? Is it just to collect the body of himself? It shouldn't be that simple.

Just as Chengwen was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a pain on his body. It turned out that the old man's crutch had hit him. He didn't dare to think about any questions at the moment, and enjoyed these three crutches obediently.

Just after the old man's three big crutches were beaten, Chengwen was lying half dead on the ground. He felt that his soul had left him and he had no strength to get up.

"Boy, you have passed two levels, and there is the last level. As long as you pass, you have passed my test. This last level is to let you dance with the snake. Boy, I am looking forward to the good results you give me. You won't let me down, right? I hope you won't be eaten by the snake." I saw that the old man waved the crutch in his hand, and a snake crawled from endless places.

I saw that the snake seemed to have been trained. As soon as it appeared, it crawled towards the written word, and it seemed that it did not see the old man next to it.

Cheng Wen watched the snake crawl towards him with a blood-red mouth, but he was not in a hurry. Because he had just been hit by the old man's three big crutches, he still had a lot of pain all over his body, so he had no strength to get up at all. He could only wait until the snake crawled to him before talking.

The snake crawled to Chengwen's side and opened its mouth and bit it. Chengwen was dodged left and right, but was finally bitten by the snake. Chengwen endured the pain and still used all his strength to avoid the snake's attacks again and again. Just as the snake bites Chengwen, Chengwen didn't even think about it, and he felt the blood flowing down his throat. Chengwen suddenly felt his whole body full of strength. He turned around and rode on the snake's body, but the mouth that bit the snake's neck still did not release it. At the same time, he grabbed the snake's head with both hands. He was afraid that the snake would bite him again. In this way, he drank a lot of snake blood until the snake stopped moving. He slowly let go of his hand, gasping for a big mouth, sitting on the ground, looking at the snake on the ground without blinking, for fear that it would wake up again.

"Good boy, you killed my snake, you really have it. Do you know what kind of snake it is? This snake is older than me. If you drink so much blood, you won't worry about losing too much blood and getting shocked in the future. The blood of this snake is regenerating blood. You can look at the snake now." The old man said.

After listening to the old man's words, Cheng Wen quickly moved his eyes to the snake, and saw the red blood flowing rapidly in the snake's body. In a short while, the snake would slowly crawl.

"Boy, from now on, you call me Master, and you can do whatever you want. Don't refute, just agree. Besides, you have no room for resistance under my hands."

At this time, Chengwen, let alone resisting, even the strength to speak, could only be at mercy.

When Chengwen saw the old man lifting his crutch under his mouth with a crutch, he got up easily and hit his leg lightly. He knelt down with a snap. The old man still kowtowed Chengwen three times with a crutch, so that he would become a disciple.

"Slowly, it will no longer hurt you, because your blood contains its blood, and you will be its owner in the future." Just as Chengwen got up and went to hit the snake again, he was stopped by the old man.

"Okay, boy, you have passed my many tests. Now you are my apprentice. I think as an apprentice, you should know how to do it. You must listen to your master in everything. You must learn what your master teaches. Don't not learn it, understand it, right?" the old man said sternly.

Chengwen nodded. He didn't want to suffer any more losses under this old man. When he experienced the old man's second level, he was completely scared. The old man in front of him could not afford to offend him. Since he could not afford to offend him, he had to obey him and make him happy. Maybe he would let him go when he was happy.

"Boy, since you have entered our territory, it means that you are my destined person, it means that you and I have the fate of master and disciple. In order to make me have no regrets in this life, I will pass on all my life's abilities to you. I hope that after you have learned, you can serve all mankind. I have this heart, but I don't have this ability. Because I made a big mistake when I was young, I was spelled by God. From then on, I can only stay in this place and can't go anywhere, until I meet a person who is destined to me, and this has to go through my many tests. After all, I will pass on all my abilities to him. After he settles me, he will go to the world to clear out some evil forces."

At this time, Chengwen was exhausted from using all his strength. He stood up and said slowly: "I was the son of a farmer, so how could I take on this important task? Besides, all I want is a plain life and a warm home."

"You kid still doesn't listen to me, okay, if you insist on doing this, I won't make things difficult for you, but I'll explain it to you first. If you really don't listen to me, you only have one way, and that's to wait here to die, believe it or not." The old man said the last thing.

Cheng Wen fell into deep thought. Could it be that he must be the old man's apprentice? But he has no ambitions, can he fulfill the old man's wish? Alas, forget it, in order to leave here early, I have to agree to him first.

"Okay, I'll listen to you in everything." Chengwen finally got out of trouble.

"This is like my good disciple." The wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to be blooming.

"Come here, I will impart my abilities of a hundred years to you," the old man said, and then he hit Chengwen on the ground with a crutch. The crutch kept turning around to Chengwen's back. Chengwen only felt a wave of strong strength coming into his body, making himself sometimes as if he was bathed in the spring breeze, sometimes as if soaked in the hot summer, sometimes as cool as autumn, and sometimes as cold as winter.

When everything was still, Chengwen looked back and saw that the old man was already lying on the ground. Chengwen hurriedly stood up and helped the old man up, calling out, "Master."

"Silly boy, you finally called me Master. I have only you, the disciple in my life. I just want you to remember my century-old life. I sealed that snake on your chest. In your most dangerous moment, it will appear before you and make you safe. Don't worry, as long as you bury me well, you will walk out of this forest. Okay, it's time for me to leave, I heard the call of God." The old man closed his eyes after saying that.

Cheng Wen looked at his chest and there was indeed a small snake coiled there. He didn't look closely. It was the most important thing to deal with the old man's funeral at the moment.

Cheng Wen found a good place, dug a hole, put his master in it, and then he grew another good tree, split it, inserted it in front of the grave, used it as a tombstone, bit his finger, and wrote on it: The tomb of the master's century-old till he was born. Then he bowed three times and left.
