Immortal Renegade
Chapter 1

Chapter 1 – Leaving Home

Tie Zhu was sitting on the side of a small street in the village, staring at the blue sky in a daze. Tie Zhu was not his real name, but due to having a weak body since he was a child, his father was afraid that he would not be able to keep him alive and gave him this traditional nickname.

His real name was Wang Lin. The Wang family is considered the name of a large family in the area, the carpenter's family. The Wang family is well known in the area, and has a number of shops selling wood products.

Tie Zhu's father was the second son of the family. She was born from a concubine, therefore, she could not take over the family business, so she left home after getting married and settled in this village.

However, since his father was a skilled carpenter, Tie Zhu's family was quite wealthy, there was no need to worry about food or clothing. They are respected in the village.

Tie Zhu has always been very smart since he was a child. He loves to read books and has many ideas. Almost everyone in the village agreed that he was a child prodigy. Every time his father heard someone praise Tie Zhu, the frown on his face would fade and he would reveal a happy smile.

His mother was very attentive to him. One could say that he grew up in the love of his parents. He knew that his parents had high expectations for him. Other children his age all worked in the fields, while he sat at home reading.

As one reads more, ideas become natural. He missed the world outside the village. Tie Zhu raised his head, looked to the end of the road, sighed, closed his book, got up, and walked home.

His father was sitting in the yard. Holding the pipe, he took a deep breath and said, "Tie Zhu, how's your lesson?" As Tie Zhu walked through the door.

Tie Zhu muttered a few words as he passed by. His father shook the ashes off his pipe, got up, and said, “Tie Zhu, you must study properly. Next year is a district exam. Whether you have a future or not everything will depend on this test, do not end up like me, who will spend my entire life in the village. ”

"Darling, you complain about this every day. If you ask me, our Tie Zhu will definitely pass the test! ”Mother Tie Zhu brought some food and put it on the table. He beckoned the two to come and eat.

Tie Zhu responded with a voice, then sat down and casually ate some mouthfuls. His mother lovingly looked at him and gave him a few pieces of meat.

"Dad, is Fourth Uncle almost here?" Tie Zhu asked, while raising his head.

“Calculating time, it should be in the next few days. Your fourth Uncle is more successful than your father. Hey, Tie Zhu's mother, have the mountain dishes prepared for Fourth Uncle been full? ”When Tie Zhu's father mentioned Fourth Uncle, there was a hint of sadness on his face.

His mother nodded and said emotionally, “Tie Zhu, your fourth uncle is a very good person. In these past few years, it was all thanks to him that your father's wood carvings remained precious. If you can achieve success, do not forget to pay your fourth Uncle. ”

When Tie Zhu's mother spoke, a horse's voice sounded outside the door. Following the sound of the horse carriage, a loud laughter could be heard.

"Second Brother, open the door!"

Tie Zhu was surprised. He immediately rushed to open the main gate. He saw a strong middle-aged man with bright eyes standing outside. He called out Tie Zhu's name, laughed, and rubbed Tie Zhu's head. Smiling, he said, “Tie Zhu, I just haven't seen you in half a year and you've grown taller yet. ”

Old man Tie Zhu immediately stood up. His father, smiling, said, “Fourth Brother, I think it is time for you to arrive. Quick in. Tie Zhu, why haven't you gotten a seat for your fourth uncle yet? ”

Tie Zhu happily agreed. He rushed back home, picked up a chair, and placed it next to the dining table. He carefully wiped it with his sleeves while looking expectantly at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man blinked his eyes at him and jokingly said, “Tie Zhu, since when have you been so diligent? I remember the last time I was here, you weren't like this. ”

Tie Zhu's father glanced at Tie Zhu and said,

”.This little B.A.J.I.N.G.A.N. is just asking when you will arrive. ”

The middle-aged man saw Tie Zhu blush and laughingly said, “Tie Zhu, your fourth uncle has not forgotten his promise to you. ”After he finished speaking, he took out two books and placed them on the table.

Tie Zhu happily cheered, then flipped through the book. He could barely contain his excitement.

Tie Zhu's mother kindly glanced at her son and said to the middle-aged man, “Fourth Brother, your elder brother is always thinking of you. This time, you should stay for a few days. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, “Second sister-in-law, there are a lot of things to watch out for in the family these days. I have to go home tomorrow morning. After this busy time, I will come back and see you. "He looked at his second brother regretfully.

Tie Zhu's father sighed, saying, “Don't listen to my wife. Pack the goods properly tomorrow. Family matters are more important. We can meet next time. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Tie Zhu's father and asked, "Second Brother, Tie Zhu is 15 years old, huh?"

Tie Zhu's father nodded and said, “After this year, this little one will be 16 years old. In an instant, more than 10 years quickly passed. "He looked at his son with great attention.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, in a serious tone, "Second Brother, Big Brother-in-law, I have something to tell you: The Heng Yue Sect accepts disciples. This year, the family had three recommendation slots and I accepted one of them. ”

Tie Zhu's father was stunned and said, with a pale face, “Heng Yue Sect? But the Heng Yue Sect was full of immortals. ”

The middle-aged man smiled, nodded, and said, “My second brother, a very immortal sect! Our family still stands out in this area and has the qualifications to recommend prospective pupils. You know my son, he can't really learn, but is good at using swords and knives. I doubt the immortal sect will take my son. This place is precious. I know Tie Zhu is very smart ever since he was a kid and always happy to learn. He might have a chance. ”

Tie Zhu's mother was delighted and said, "This Fourth Brother …"

The middle-aged man rubbed Tie Zhu's head and said, “Second brother-in-law, in my view, let this matter be resolved. Let Tie Zhu try; if he is truly accepted, it is his fortune. ”

Tie Zhu puzzledly looked at his parents and his fourth uncle. He couldn't understand what was going on. "Abadi? Is it eternal? ”Tie Zhu asked gently and hesitantly.

The middle-aged man's face turned serious. Looking at Tie Zhu, he said, "Tie Zhu, the immortals are those who can fly in the sky, and are simply not something that can be understood by humans. ”

Tie Zhu was getting curious about the immortal creature.

Tie Zhu's father excitedly got up, pulled Tie Zhu's mother, and bowed to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man quickly pulled them over and sincerely said, “Second Brother, what are you doing? My mother died early. If it wasn't for Second Brother's mother taking care of me, I wouldn't be here today. Tie Zhu is my nephew and this is the most I can do. ”

Tie Zhu's father started crying. He heavily patted the middle-aged man on the back, nodded his head, and resolutely said to Tie Zhu, "Remember, Wang Lin, nod his head, never forget what your fourth uncle has done for us or I won't consider you my son!"

Tie Zhu's heart trembled. Even though he was stupid towards immortality, he could tell from the expressions of the parents that they viewed this matter with great importance. He knelt down in front of his fourth uncle and kowtowed several times.

The middle-aged man pulled Tie Zhu and praised him. "Good child . You get ready and I'll pick you up at the end of the month. ”

That night, Tie Zhu went to bed early. He could still hear voices from his father and fourth uncle. Dad was so happy. Although he rarely drank, he had to drink a few cups with Fourth Uncle today.

Gods, what are they? Tie Zhu's heart was very excited. He knew in his heart that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to see the outside world!

Fourth Uncle left early the next day. Tie Zhu and his parents saw him at the entrance of the village. On the way back, he notices that his father looks much younger. His eyes were filled with hope.

The hope in his eyes was much greater than when he wanted Tie Zhu to pass the district examination.

There is no secret in the village, even if it is how many puppies give birth. Everyone in the village will hear the news. Soon, everyone in the village knew the news from Tie Zhu's mother and all the neighbors came to visit. Everyone's eyes were different from before when they looked at Tie Zhu with envy and jealousy.

“The Wang family gave birth to a good child. He had been accepted as a disciple of the Heng Yue Sect. ”

“I have watched this boy, Tie Zhu, as he grows up! He's been very smart since he was a kid. Now he was a disciple of the Heng Yue Sect. He has a very promising future. ”

“Tie Zhu, you have amazing talent! When you are successful in the future, do not forget to come back and visit. ”

This talk filled Tie Zhu's ears, acting like Tie Zhu was already a disciple of the Heng Yue Sect. Whenever his parents heard him, they couldn't stop smiling. The wrinkles on their faces had already been greatly reduced.

Half a month passed quickly. The news of Tie Zhu becoming a disciple of the Heng Yue Sect quickly spread. All the nearby villagers came to meet Tie Zhu.

Everyone who comes brings a gift. Old man Tie Zhu couldn't refuse them, but when they left, old man Tie Zhu planned a gift back. According to Tie Zhu's father, our “Son will become immortal in the future, so he can't be indebted. We will prepare a gift for all visitors. ”

Soon, the Wang family learned that fourth uncle Tie Zhu gave his son's place to Tie Zhu. One by one, they came to congratulate him.

Tie Zhu's father placed great importance on visiting relatives, as many of them had looked down on him in the past and expelled him from the family many years ago. Now that they had all come to visit him, he swept away his grief.

He and Tie Zhu's mother discussed a little and decided to cheer everyone up. They spent a lot of money to hire village teachers to write invitations to send to their relatives.

The village teacher did not want money, but wanted Tie Zhu to admit that he grew up learning in his care. Tie Zhu did not mind as this was the truth.

After the invitation was sent to most of the Wang family members, there were so many people that Tie Zhu's father had to move the party location to the village square and throw a party.

The villagers helped entertain the guests. When they talked to each other, they would praise Tie Zhu nonstop.

Tie Zhu's father brought his wife and son to the village entrance to personally greet the guests and introduce each relative to Tie Zhu.

“This is your third grandfather. When Father left the family, your third grandfather secretly helped a lot. Tie Zhu, you must remember to repay his kindness, ”father Tie Zhu said, when he helped a white-haired old man.

Tie Zhu quickly agreed. The old man looked at Tie Zhu and said, “Lao Er, time passes so quickly. Your son is this big! He has a better prospect than you.

Tie Zhu's father's face was filled with light. He smiled, and said, "Third grandfather, Tie Zhu has been smart since he was a child. He must be better than me. Take your time . Wife, help support Third Grandpa. ”

Mother Tie Zhu quickly helped the old man walk towards the party.

Seeing the old man leave, Tie Zhu's father snorted and said to Tie Zhu, “This old man looked down on your father and forced me to leave. Now that you have a good future, he came to congratulate me. He's just that kind of relative. ”

Tie Zhu subconsciously nodded and asked, "Did Fourth Uncle come?"

Tie Zhu's father shook his head. “Your fourth uncle sent a letter. He will not be able to return until the end of the month. ”

At that moment, another carriage arrived at the entrance of the village. A 50-year-old man is out. He looked at Tie Zhu's father and said, "Lao Er, congratulations!"

Tie Zhu's father's face turned complicated and said, "Sister!"

The old man's eyes swept over and looked at Tie Zhu. She smiled . “Lao Er, so this is your son? Not bad! Maybe he'll really be chosen. ”

Tie Zhu's father frowned, wriggled, and said, "Tie Zhu may not have much merit, but he is smart and likes to read books. It is bound to be chosen. ”

"That's not entirely true . When immortal sects sought disciples, there were extremely strict requirements. I see this kid as stupid. Going is a waste of time, ”said the haughty voice of the train, when a 16 or 17 year old boy stepped out.

That boy looks so pretty. He had eyebrows like a sword, a face like Guan Yu, and eyes full of contempt.

Tie Zhu's father glared at him and Wang Lin looked at him, but did not say anything.

The old man's face changed color and shouted, “Wang Zhuo, how can you be so rude ?! This is your second uncle and your younger brother Wang Lin, why don't you greet them ?! "He turned to Tie Zhu's father and said," My son's speech was ugly. Lao Er, don't mind him, but .. "When he spoke, he suddenly turned around and said, "But Lao Er, you know, you know, but Lao Er, it was not a simple matter for these immortal people to accept a disciple of — this was a matter of fate. This time, it was because the Heng Yue Sect was so interested in my son that our Wang family was given three places, including his. ”

Tie Zhu's father snorted and said, "If your son can do it, then my son will definitely be chosen!"

The young man laughed, unconcerned by the old man's words. In disgust, he said, “So, you are Second Uncle. I suggest you not be too optimistic. The way of cultivation was very complex, and only one in ten thousand people could learn it. How could he compete with me, who, despite not being an official disciple yet, was personally chosen by an immortal master? ”

The old man's face sparkled a color of pride, “scolded the young man, and brought him to the party.

“Tie Zhu, don't worry. Even if you're not selected, it doesn't matter. There's always a district exam next year. "Dad Tie Zhu said solemnly, after suppressing his anger.

Wang Lin confidently whispered, “Dad, don't worry. I will be chosen! "

Tie Zhu's father gently patted his son's shoulder. His eyes were filled with rays of hope.

One by one, they greeted many relatives. Tie Zhu's father brought him back to the party. In front of them was a scene of many people celebrating.

Tie Zhu's father shouted, "My dear relative, my fellow villager, I, Wang Tianshui, am not a very cultured person and do not talk much, but today, I am, I am very happy that my son has the opportunity to become a disciple of the Heng Yue Sect. This is the happiest moment of my life. I won't say more, but thank you for coming. "He lifted his cup and dried it from the wine inside.

“Lao Er, your son has been very intelligent since he was a child. He would definitely be chosen like Wang Zhu's son and become immortal. ”

“Second Brother, having a son like Tie Zhu, you have not lived life in vain. In the future, all you have to do is wait to enjoy the good fortune. ”

“Tie Zhu, you must make your father proud! This time, no matter what happens, you must enter the Heng Yue Sect! ”

There are lots of bright scenes everywhere. The sound of celebration came from all sides, but there were many people, like Wang Zhuo's father, who on the surface gave congratulations, but in his heart always looked down on his brother and his brother's son. He looked at his son, and then at Tie Zhu. He felt very dissatisfied. The Fourth Brother's actions were beyond his expectations, but since the immortal beings were not blind, there was no way Tie Zhu would be chosen.

People passed by, one after another. Tie Zhu's father pulled Tie Zhu from table to table to toast and introduced various unknown relatives to him.

Today, Tie Zhu's father drank a lot of wine. He was never considered this high. The party lasted until it was too late and everyone started to go home. Before leaving, and still with a look of disdain, Wang Zhuo, while no one was paying attention, whispered to Tie Zhu, "Stupid, you will not be chosen. You have no ability. ”

He left with his father as he showed a contemptuous smile.

After returning home, Tie Zhu lay on his bed. He secretly decided in his heart that he should be chosen no matter what!

Half a month passed quickly. Today, fourth uncle Tie Zhu arrived with a carriage.

Old man Tie Zhu quickly greeted him inside. The middle-aged man washed his face and hurriedly said, “Second Brother, Sister-in-law, I can't stay this long. I took Tie Zhu and left. Heng Yue Sect will arrive to pick up a potential disciple tomorrow morning. ”

Tie Zhu's father was stunned. A trace of sadness appeared on his face. He firmly said, “Good. Tie Zhu, follow your fourth uncle. If you are chosen, study obediently at the Heng Yue Sect. However, if you are not selected, do not worry and return home. ”

Tie Zhu, not wanting to leave his parents, nodded heavily. His mother took out a parcel from the room and lovingly said, “Tie Zhu, listen to your fourth uncle and do not cause trouble; the outside is not the same as the house. You must have patience. I've prepared some new clothes for you. Also, there are some of your favorite roasted sweet potatoes. Mommy will miss you. If you are not selected, go back. "When Tie Zhu's mother spoke, tears began to appear in her eyes.

Tie Zhu had never left the village since he was born. This was the first time he had left.

Fourth Uncle emotionally said, “Tie Zhu, you should be chosen to make your parents proud. Second Brother, Sister-in-law, the family will have a big celebration in a few days, so I am too busy today. Tomorrow, I'll pick you up. The results for the three candidates had to come out by then. ”

He quickly pulled Tie Zhu onto the carriage, whipped his horse, and set off.

With tears in their eyes, old man Tie Zhu stared at the carriage as it quickly disappeared into the distance.

“Tie Zhu has never left home before. Will he be disturbed? "Tie Zhu's mother said, biting her lips. His eyes were filled with sadness.

“He has grown up and has to deal with his own wealth. "Dad Tie Zhu took his pipe and took a deep breath. More wrinkles appeared on his face.
