The autumn sunshine is like a mother's hand, warm and gentle, gently shining on Tietou's body. Tietou sat at the door of the blacksmith shop, his eyes a little confused, not knowing what he was thinking.
Tietou's parents left this world when he was very young, leaving him alone and helpless. He was only five years old that year, and the world in his memory was full of hunger and cold. It wasn't until he met Li Tie and his wife that his life changed. Li Tie and his wife had no children of their own. Seeing Tie Tou shivering in the cold wind, they felt pity in their hearts and decided to adopt him.
As a result, Tietou became a child of the Li family and took the surname Li from Li Tie. Li Tie and his wife cared for Tietou meticulously, and even asked their third brother, who had read books, to name him. The third brother felt that Tietou was a child with a tough life, so he named him Li Changsheng, which meant that he could live a long life. From then on, Tietou had his own name, and Li Tie and his wife still affectionately called him Tietou. .
Li's surname is also considered a common surname in the village. Li Tie and his wife have a blacksmith shop in the village that was inherited from their father's generation. Although their parents were all marginal figures with the surname Li, Li Tie and his wife relied on hard work and wisdom to run the blacksmith shop in a prosperous way and live a prosperous life.
Li Tie and his wife regarded Li Changsheng as their own son. They not only provided him with education and literacy, but also hoped that he would pass the exam this year and become the ancestor of the Li family. In order to realize this wish, Li Tie and his wife made arduous efforts to send Li Changsheng to school and receive a good education.
Although it was best for Li Changsheng to study in the village, after all, he only received education in the village, and the gap between him and the outside world can be imagined. Sure enough, God failed, and Li Changsheng failed this year's college entrance examination. After failing the exam, he felt depressed and could only help out in the blacksmith shop.
However, Li Tie and his wife did not give up. They encouraged Li Changsheng not to be discouraged if he could come back in three years if it doesn't work this year. Li Changsheng nodded silently, secretly making up his mind to continue working hard.
While they were chatting, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Brother, I'm back to see you." Li Changsheng looked up and saw that it was his third uncle who was here. The third uncle looked at him and said with a smile: "Well, the young man is good. He has grown a lot." His eyes were full of appreciation and encouragement.
Li Tie and his wife shouted enthusiastically: "Tietou, why are you still standing? Go and get your third uncle a glass of water!" Li Changsheng agreed, and after a moment he came out with a water glass and handed it to his third uncle.
The third uncle looked at Li Changsheng and said with a smile: "I have not forgotten what I promised you. I originally wanted to take you to the town for a few days. It just so happened that the Li family industry in the town needed an accounting apprentice. The third uncle felt that you were very good at Changsheng. It's appropriate. You know how to read and write, unlike my useless son who doesn't know anything."
The third uncle paused and then said: "After all, our family is quite famous in the town. Changsheng, if you can go to the town to see the world and get close to the core members of the family, you will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. What’s more important is that you can be an apprentice while studying in the town, and the teachers in the town will definitely teach better than the teachers in the village.”
Li Changsheng listened to his third uncle's words, and his heart was filled with gratitude and expectation. He knew that this was a rare opportunity for him to get out of the village and see the outside world. At the same time, he also understood that this required more effort and sweat on his part. However, he is willing to do it for his own future and not to disappoint his parents.
Just as Li Tie and his wife were about to say thanks, the third uncle waved his hands and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, this matter is settled. Changsheng is a scholar and will definitely make a difference in the future." His tone was full of firmness and trust. It was as if he had already seen Li Changsheng's future glory.
At this time, Li Changsheng would not have thought that with such a decision, his life would embark on a path of cultivating immortality. At this moment, his heart was filled with expectations and longing for life in the town.
A few days later, Li Changsheng said goodbye to his parents with tears in his heart, filled with gratitude and reluctance. Although he is not his biological child, under the love and care of Li Tie and his wife, he has regarded this place as his own home.
Li Tie took Li Changsheng's hand and warned, "Tietou, when you get to town, you must learn more, do more, and talk less." Li Changsheng nodded, silently remembering his father's words in his heart.
The third uncle raised his whip and slapped the horse on the buttocks, and the carriage sped away. Li Changsheng looked back and saw that his mother's face was full of tears, and she cried: "The child's father, Tietou has never been away from us for so long. He has been away for several years. I am afraid that he will be bullied."
Li Tie sighed softly and comforted his wife: "When the children grow up, their children and grandchildren will have their own blessings." He knew that this was a necessary process. Children need to grow up and face the wider world. Although he was reluctant to give up, he also understood that this was for the sake of Tietou's future.
The carriage gradually moved away, and Li Changsheng's heart was filled with anticipation and reluctance. He knew that this was a new beginning and a road full of challenges and opportunities.
Li Changsheng had just arrived in the town and was full of curiosity about everything around him, looking around. The third uncle looked at him, smiled, took him around the town and bought him some food. In the evening, the third uncle arranged for Li Changsheng to stay in his guest room and told him that he would take him to his property to study with the big accountant tomorrow morning.
However, the next morning, while Li Changsheng was still sleeping, he was awakened by the shouts of his third uncle. He vaguely heard his third uncle saying that his plans had changed. Before he could react, his third uncle had already hurried out.
Li Changsheng sat on the bed, a little at a loss. He didn't know why the plan had changed or what to do next. He wanted to go to his third uncle to find out, but he didn't know where to find him, so he could only wait.
In the evening, the third uncle returned home and said to Li Changsheng: "I will find someone to pick up the eldest brother and sister-in-law first. We must discuss this matter together. You will wait at home these days." Li Changsheng nodded in agreement, his heart full of doubts and confusion. expect.
About ten days later, the third uncle came with Li Changsheng's parents. As soon as he entered the house, the third uncle said: "Brother and sister-in-law, it's like this. This year, the Yunmeng Sect is recruiting disciples, and there are two places in the family. Originally, it wasn't my turn, but something happened to one of the families with the places. The spot fell into my hands.”
"Yunmeng Sect?" Li Tie said excitedly, "Is it the Yunmeng Sect with all the immortals on the mountain?"
The third uncle nodded and said: "Yes, it is the Yunmeng Sect you mentioned."
"Brother, you also know that my son was born weak, sick, and illiterate. In contrast, Li Changsheng is different. He has studied hard for many years. Although he did not pass the exam this time, he is still young after all. In time, he will definitely become a The best among people. Let him try, maybe he can do it. I really don’t want to give up this hard-earned spot to other tribesmen."
When Li Tie and his wife heard this, they were so excited that they were speechless. Their faces were full of shock, awe and anticipation, as if they had seen the moment when Li Changsheng became an immortal.
Li Changsheng looked at his excited parents, filled with doubts and curiosity. He didn't know what his third uncle and his parents called an immortal, nor did he know what kind of person could be called an immortal.
The third uncle saw Li Changsheng's doubts and explained: "Immortals can use their magic to fly around in the sky, move mountains and seas, and are omnipotent. They are not comparable to us mortals, so we must respect the immortals , can’t offend them.”
Li Tie and his wife excitedly took their son's hand and warned: "Tietou, you must remember that now you have the opportunity to become an immortal, you must seize it and work hard! And no matter whether you can or not in the future, Even if you become an immortal, you must never forget your third uncle's kindness."
The third uncle waved his hands and said, "Brothers and sisters-in-law, don't say that. If you hadn't provided for me to study, I wouldn't have the food and clothing I have today. This is what I should do."
