Chapter 131 Immortals and Mortals, People and People

Spring goes and autumn comes, the four seasons alternate, time flies by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it has already passed quickly.

Ping'an Village.

In the center of the village, under a banyan tree that blocks out the sun.

Two figures are running constantly, raising clouds of dust.

After a long time, Lu Yuan stopped and climbed up a branch of the banyan tree that was not high from the ground with agility.

Then he lay quietly on it, resting his head on his hands, and slowly closed his eyes.

This big banyan tree has no history. It has existed since the establishment of Ping'an Village.

Its body is so huge that it is as thick as three adult men hugging it.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes and thought about the happy time in his childhood.

Now he is thirty-five years old.

This tree is the same as his childhood memory, and there is no change.

Listening to the noise made by Lu Ping'an, Lu Yuan has a lot of thoughts.

It has been five years since he got married.

Lu Ping'an has also been his apprentice for five years.

This kid is miserable, not only in his background, but also in his experience.

According to Lu Pingan, his father died unexpectedly when he was three years old, leaving behind his seriously ill mother and young self.

At that time, Lu Pingan was still like a normal child, safe and healthy.

However, since the pillar of the family was gone, the lives of the mother and son have changed drastically.

The mother could not work to support the family, but needed expensive medicine to treat her illness.

For his mother, Lu Pingan took on the responsibility at the age of three.

However, no matter what he did, no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the current situation of this family.

He could not change his mother's ending either.

Just like that, two years later, his mother passed away.

She was plagued by illness and suffered a lifetime, and it seemed to be the luckiest thing that she brought the healthy Lu Pingan into this world safely.

In two years, Lu Pingan has become skinny and his skin is tanned, just like what those children said that year and that night.

He is a skinny black monkey.

After Xiao Ping'an's mother died, the villagers occupied his house and land and drove him out.

They didn't even leave him a bite of food or a piece of clothing!

The villagers in the same village didn't dare to say a word when they saw this.

Because that family was the village tyrant, and there were many men in the family.

How dare ordinary villagers provoke them, how dare they stand up for Xiao Ping'an.

Therefore.

They could only give Xiao Ping'an some food as much as possible.

That year, Xiao Ping'an wandered alone, wandering in several villages around. Some villagers felt sorry for him and gave him food.

Some villagers saw that he was exposed to the wind and rain, and gave him a set of worn-out clothes.

In this way, Xiao Ping'an persisted for several months.

He survived by eating food from hundreds of families.

That year, the cold winter was like hell, and the cold wind was like a beast.

The five-year-old, thin, and thinly dressed child was wantonly ravaged and bitten!

No one knew how he survived until New Year's Eve.

That day, he knew that the New Year was coming, so he returned to his village and wanted to see his parents.

But he was driven away by the village tyrant and his family and was not allowed to enter their village.

"Bang!"

Little Ping'an was kicked to the ground, on the solid ground frozen in the cold winter, on the ground without any temperature.

His head was bleeding.

The devilish voices rang out, insulting and mocking this five-year-old child.

"Get out."

"You little beast without parents, dare to come back?"

"Hahaha, look at him, he looks like a dog."

"Eating leftovers to survive, isn't he just a dog? Hahaha."

That day, Little Ping'an walked alone, walking and walking, walking and walking.

He walked until dusk, until dark, and he didn't know how far he had walked.

Unconsciously, a village in the distance appeared in front of him.

It was a strange place he had never been to.

There were a lot of lights there, and it looked so warm.

There were also some children's laughter, and there was so much joy.

…………

Lu Yuan withdrew his thoughts, opened his eyes, and looked at Xiao Ping'an not far away.

Today he is ten years old.

Although he has been in the Lu family for five years, his appearance has not changed much.

He is thin and his face is dark.

His height has changed. Although he is not as tall as normal people of the same age, he is not much different.

The marks left on him by those two years have not disappeared in five years.

"Xiao Ping'an, when will you grow fat and white?"

"Otherwise, how can you marry a wife like this?"

"Only if you look like me, the master, will you not be bullied."

Lu Yuan whispered to himself, with a silly smile on his face.

Three years ago, Lu Yuan brought his father, his wife's father, and his brother.

There were also a few men from the same village who volunteered.

They came all the way to Xiao Ping'an's home.

His apprentice was bullied like that?

If he, as a master, did not seek justice for him, wouldn't it be unforgivable?

That day, the small village was in chaos because of a dozen big men.

The village bully, whether male, female, old or young, was beaten black and blue.

No one could escape, young or old!

Not only that, they tied them up, and let them go after three days of thirst and hunger.

Just to let them have a taste of what it feels like.

After this torture, the village tyrant's family obediently returned all the houses, fields and profits they had occupied from Xiao Ping'an's home in the past few years.

This matter ended there.

For Lu Yuan, the relationship between him and Xiao Ping'an was more like that of a father and son than a master and apprentice.

"Time flies so fast. Before I knew it, I'm getting old."

"Ping'er, Xiao An'an, Xiao Ping'an, you three must live a safe, carefree and happy life."

"With me here, you won't have any accidents."

Lu Yuan lay on the tree branch, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Born as a human being, although you have great ambitions, your life is thinner than paper. Even if your heart is higher than the sky, what does it matter?

No matter what you do or what you work hard for, your fate has already been determined.

In the end, it's just a relief.

"An ordinary, ordinary life is enough..."

Lu Yuan will not force his children and Xiao Ping'an to do anything.

When they grow up, it's all up to them to choose.

Now the matter of training Xiao Ping An is just for his health.

Xiao Ping An is too weak, and he can only recover to normal level by eating more and exercising more.

Like his own parents, Lu Yuan is not competent, but he is also an open-minded father.

Just as Lu Yuan said, as long as he is there, the little guys will not have any accidents.

…………

Time flies.

Unknowingly, two years have passed again.

On this day, a piece of news spread throughout Xingfu Town.

An immortal is coming to Xingfu Town to select disciples for the sect.

As soon as the news came out, it was like a light, illuminating the entire Xingfu Town in an instant.

The immortal was the legendary immortal who fell into Xingfu Town by coincidence 22 years ago and was rescued by the mayor.

Originally, people in Xingfu Town thought that the gossip that year was false.

But unexpectedly, it was true.

This news was issued by the mayor's mansion, and there was no need to think about whether it was true or not.

Therefore, the cognition of countless people was collapsed, and the worldview changed.

It turns out that there are really immortals in this world, and they can really cultivate immortality!

It is said that the immortals who practice Taoism have more status in the sect and their status has risen.

Therefore, I came here to repay the life-saving grace of that year.

In Xingfu Town, including the village, any child under the age of twelve can have a chance to test the immortal roots.

Success is immortal, failure is mortal.

On this day, Lu Yuan in Ping'an Village heard the rumor.

He was originally calm, but his face suddenly changed, his pupils contracted violently, and his heart pounded.

It turned out that the news was true?

But now I am thirty-seven years old.

I have no chance to become an immortal.

But...

Suddenly, Lu Yuan stood up, his eyes shot out light, wild and unrestrained, and his laughter spread throughout the Lu family.

He wanted to take the three little guys to try it out. Whether they are immortals or mortals depends on fate.
