Xuanmen little counselor only wants to complete the success KPI

It was a remote and quiet mountain village.The people in the village are hard-working and capable. Although they are not rich, they can still have enough food and clothing.The village is located in a remote area and few people have contact with the outside world.Every once in a while, a familiar salesman would come into the mountains pulling goods by horse and carrying a load, and exchange some mountain specialties with the people in the village.

Yes, specialty.This is one of the reasons why the village is so remote, but the people in the village can survive.A special medicinal material is produced here.It is a kind of grass that only grows in late autumn and early winter every year. It looks ordinary, but its vitality is extremely tenacious. It only grows in inaccessible places in deep mountains.

The locals call this grass Huandan.

It means that this grass, like ginseng fruit, has the powerful effect of prolonging life.

Caohuandan looks like weeds, but it is usually buried deep in the soil. It only emerges from the ground in a short period of ten days in late autumn and early winter. When the first snow falls in winter, the part on the ground will stick to the surface. , buried deep under the snow, hard to find.

There are a few mountain runners in the village who would risk their lives to go up the mountain during this season. As long as they can find a few grasses to return the elixir, they won't have to worry about other supplies this year.

The surname of the salesman who often comes here is Wu. He has made a small fortune by repaying grass with elixirs.For this reason, even though the journey to the mountains is long and arduous, Mr. Wu remains tight-lipped and refuses to tell anyone about this way of making money. He insists on going to the mountains twice a year.

Wu Guolang is in his prime, a good age to accumulate wealth. According to common sense, he will not tell outsiders the information unless it is his nephew.But it was strange that year. The person who came to exchange the grass for the elixir was a Taoist with a wide robe and long sleeves.

Guijia, who is now standing behind Miyou, was still an infant at that time.His mother's health was not good. Although the family secretly used Cao Huan Dan to help her take care of her health, the expensive medicinal materials could cure the disease but not keep her healthy. There was no good thing to take good care of her body in the remote mountains and forests. It was just drinking more rice soup. That’s all.

The little woman struggled to give birth to a boy. However, the boy was born with a large blue birthmark on half of his cheeks, and even his eyes were blue-grey.

"Isn't this child blind?"

The people in the village whispered.

But although the child's eyes seem to be sick, they can move according to people and movements, so they should be able to see.

This made the family breathe a sigh of relief.

"As long as you can see it, as for the marks on the face, it's just that it will be difficult to find a wife in the future."

Another year later, when the Taoist came to exchange grass and return elixirs, he saw a boy named A Qing.He was overjoyed.

"I think this child is born with good bones. It's a pity that he has such natural marks on his face. It's better to join my Taoist sect and make a good relationship. But this child is too young now. If your family has no objections, I will come to pick him up at this time next year. he."

For people in the mountains, people outside are naturally very capable.Ah Qing's family agreed without much thought.

It was just that the next year, Ah Qing's village did not wait for the Taoist to come.Bandits came from nowhere and the whole village was covered in blood, but Ah Qing, who was lying in his swaddling clothes, escaped.

The belated Taoist sighed and left with pity and compassion for Ah Qing and this year's Cao Huan Dan.

Miyou felt something was wrong inexplicably.

Why did the whole village die and only one child, no more than two or three years old, escaped?If we say we don’t kill young children, then why aren’t other children spared?
And why did this Taoist come so well-timed?If it had been a few days later, Ah Qing would definitely not have survived.If it had been a few days earlier, he would not have seen this disaster.

Miyou was so confused that she asked this question.

The ghost fairy behind him smiled softly, and said lightly: "Later, I learned that in that era, there were ancient and decadent rules spread among some evil sects. This rule was called - cutting off customs. edge."

Miyou was speechless.

She had heard of the idea of ​​​​killing common fate, but it was still in novels, and she had never thought that such a thing could happen in reality.

Guixian still has that light and airy tone, as if everything has become like the past clouds and smoke: "Haven't you heard that art comes from life and is higher than life?"

Miyou looked sideways.

Whether it is the perspective of the opening camera or the current words, this ghost fairy is too close to modern people.

"Keep pace with the times." It smiled and patted Miyou on the shoulder: "Just concentrate on it, the fun is yet to come."

The Taoist calls himself Wuya Taoist. "My life has limits, but my studies have no limits. It's a joy." He said with a smile while stroking his beard.At this time, Ah Qing already looked like a young boy. The birthmark on his face was still obvious, but his handsome outline could be vaguely seen under the blue birthmark.The other half of the face that was not covered in cyan was very delicate, but the pair of cyan-gray eyes looked very weird.

"You were born to be a member of our Xuanmen. Although your eyesight is poor, you can see clearly. It's a pity that this is not a birth defect, but caused by illness..."

Taoist Wuya sighed.Miyou heard the ghost fairy next to her sneer.

Ah Qing now has his own name, and Taoist Wuya named him Qingkui.

"The leader is the star." Taoist Wuya looked like he had high hopes.

Ah Qing... no, it's Qing Kui now, with a look of admiration and trust.

To be honest, Taoist Wuya was not bad to Qing Kui. It could even be said that he took good care of him.But I don’t know if it’s because of the preconceived bad idea of ​​​​Zhan Suyuan, Miyou just has a bad impression of Wuya Taoist, and always feels that he has evil intentions.

Facts have proved that no one who engages in metaphysics will have sensory warnings for no reason.

During Qingkuiman's year, Taoist Wuya finally revealed his true face.

A sect that would use the opportunity to take away the child it likes is definitely not a famous and decent sect.Naturally, the Taoist from such a sect would not be a kind person.

What Taoist Wu Ya valued was not Qing Kui's talent, but his physique.

Heaven and earth are all born to be members of the Taoist sect, with extraordinary talents.What makes Qingkui even more coveted by Taoist Wuya is that his birthday happens to be exactly the same as Taoist Wuya, but there is a difference of 48 years.

Qingkui's Kui is not the leader's Kui, nor is it a constellation.The name Taoist Wuya really wanted to give him was Qingpuppet, the puppet's puppet.

Qingkui is the puppet he found for himself, a sacrifice to enhance his talents and prolong his life.

"It's a pity that it's just a lack of land. If I was crippled, I could extend my life for another ten years, but now... it's barely enough." Taoist Wuya looked at Qing Kui who was tied to the chair with a bright smile, and a pair of His ricket eyes shone with a light that did not suit his age: "My good disciple, I have raised you for 16 years, and finally it's time for you to come in handy. Just for the sake of being a teacher, you should take the first step."

Qingkui sighed softly.

"Since you don't really want to accept me as your disciple, why do you want to take me away by cutting off the common fate? Didn't my parents already agree to you?"

He was really confused.

Taoist Wu Ya narrowed his eyes and looked Qing Kui up and down: "Do you even know this? Sure enough, I can't keep you. No wonder it is said that there is no one in the world. I haven't said anything in these years, and I haven't taught you anything. How do you know these things?”

"But it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Taoist Wuya very carefully checked the rope on Qingkui's body, and after confirming that he could not break free, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Destroying the common fate is a nice way of saying it, the grass-returning elixir is so precious, how can it be buried in the hands of your village. Without that village, I am the only one in the world who knows where the grass is worth the elixir. That’s a huge amount of money, and it’s more elixir than the grass. You’re just an extra.”

Discovering Qingkui, a baby with the same birthday as himself, was an unexpected surprise for Taoist Wuya.

He went for the grass to return the elixir.

When searching for the grass-returning elixir, he first found the salesman Wu who went to the mountain twice a year and made a business without capital.Relying on the threat of evil magic and the temptation of money, Taoist Wuya obtained the path from Wu Merchant, and naturally he would not fulfill his promise afterwards.Wu Guolang's family became his new victims.

"I originally wanted to take action that year, but I didn't expect that the collection of the Grass Returning Pill had already passed. In that case, I kept you for one more year. When I was about to take action the next year, I discovered you..."

In the early winter of that year, Taoist Wuya braved the light snow and went up the mountain.He originally wanted to use poison and spells to deal with the entire village, so he asked the villagers for a bowl of water and took the opportunity to observe the distribution of water sources in the village.Just when the medicine bag on his sleeve was about to fall into the water, he saw Ah Qing from back then.

The child looked over with a pair of blue-grey eyes.Half of the face is white and tender like an ordinary child, and the other half is blue and black like a ghost or Rakshasa.

At that moment, Taoist Wuya felt something. He took back the medicine bag and pinched his fingers, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"What a pity for this child." He sighed in a pretentious manner: "He is like this because he has good qualifications, but he can't bear it, so he is jealous of God. If you can trust me, why not let this child follow me to practice Taoism? , suppress the evil spirit in him, and he will probably be fine in a few years."

Taoist Wuya was a bit mean-spirited when he said this.He valued Qing Kui's physique very much, but he was afraid that the people in the village would be ignorant and not take good care of Qing Kui, who had a birthmark and strange eyes, or simply treat him like a monster and cause him to die young by accident, wouldn't that mean? It ruined his business.

He didn't know that although people in rural areas were feudal, they lived far away in the mountains and didn't have so many twists and turns. Apart from the fact that it was a pity that Qingkui would have difficulty marrying a mother-in-law in the future, they did not discriminate against him, nor did they ever think of harming him.

After leaving the message in advance that he would accept a disciple, Taoist Wuya did not attack the village, but changed his plan and went down the mountain. (End of chapter)
