C2 Yanyun past

At this moment, a young and clear voice came from the foot of the mountain: "Brother Stone, Brother Stone, Blacksmith Uncle said he wanted you to go."

It was Ye Er, shouting at him from far away at the foot of the mountain.

Liu Di replied loudly with his hands cupped around his mouth. Then, he turned around and hid most of Xi Meng Si's body under a pile of straw. He patted off the dust on his body and started walking down the mountain.

Blacksmith Uncle's home was at the east end of the village.

When Liu Di first saw Blacksmith Uncle a few days ago, he was standing by the stove beating a piece of unformed iron.

Although Blacksmith Uncle was standing by the fire calmly, he looked like a blacksmith with his thick arms and his unshaven and unswerving face. But in the eyes of the 40-odd years old man, Liu Di, the gentleness and elegance between Blacksmith Uncle's brows could not be concealed.

Liu Di thought, this Blacksmith Uncle is not only a blacksmith, he should also be an intellectual.

When Liu Di came down the mountain to Blacksmith Uncle's house, he was sitting on the doorstep of his furnace room in a daze. Only when he saw Liu Di approaching did he finally come to his senses.

Ye Zichen looked Liu Di up and down with squinted eyes. After a while, he said lightly, "Follow me."

The two of them made seven turns and arrived in front of a stone house. This was one of the few stone houses in the village.

Blacksmith Uncle gently opened the door and a faint scent of books drifted out. It was indeed a study room, Liu Di thought. An intellectual.

He was confused. There were many books in the study room, and he himself was an intellectual. Why would the village invite him over to teach the children in the village how to read and read?

The moment Blacksmith Uncle entered the study room, the firm expression on his face softened a lot.

He greeted Liu Di and told him to sit down opposite the tea table by the window. Then, he looked at Liu Di quietly, and Liu Di also looked back at him quietly.

After a long while, Blacksmith Uncle smiled and said, "You are much calmer than I thought. You are not curious at all when you see so many books. You have reached your twelfth grade this year, right?"

Liu Di replied, "Yes, it was just full last month."

"Yes." Blacksmith Uncle nodded and said: "The time has come, I have some things to explain to you clearly. Even though you are still young, you are mature and calm. We should know how to act. "

Liu Di picked up the teapot on the tea table and poured a cup of tea. He held it with both hands and passed it to Blacksmith Uncle. He respectfully said: "Please inform me, Uncle."

Blacksmith Uncle took the cup but did not drink it. He seemed to be recalling the past, or perhaps he was trying to find the right words to use.

Liu Di was neither impatient nor anxious. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

When Liu Di drank his third cup of tea, Blacksmith Uncle finally spoke: "You grew up in the village and haven't seen the outside world. In this world, there were a total of six countries. They were Yan, Chu, Qi, Lu, Yue, and Bai. We are Yan Country. "

"Our Yan Country region has a vast population, because the land is fertile, the people are rich, and it is often coveted by the neighbouring countries. Although the country is prosperous and well, the border is still filled with wars. "

"Our biggest battlefield is the Western Region, and our enemies are Qi Country."

Blacksmith Uncle took a sip of tea, his eyes were full of reminiscence, "At that time, the one guarding the Western Regions was the mighty Great General Liu Tianxing's Yan Yun Army."

"The entire legion has a total of two hundred thousand soldiers, and each of them is a very strong and vigorous man. Guarding the Western Regions for more than ten years and experiencing hundreds of battles of all sizes, without a single loss! "

At this point, Blacksmith Uncle's eyes lit up and his cheeks flushed.

After a moment, Blacksmith Uncle calmed down and said faintly, "I believe you can guess that I am one of the subordinates of Yan Yun back then."

After a pause, he continued, "The reason why I've come today is not for the glory of the day, but because I have something else to ask of you."

"Back in the army, the soldiers all practiced martial arts. In fact, there is another kind of person in this world who does not cultivate any martial skills, who possesses Spiritual Root and cultivates the way of the Immortal. "

"Immortal dao?!" Liu Di could no longer maintain his composure and cried out, "Could there still be immortals in this world?"

The blacksmith forced out a smile and said, "In fact, I didn't believe it at the beginning, but I've seen it many times since, so I know that there are people who can cultivate immortality."

Liu Di was silent. It was already absurd for him to be transported to this world. What else could he not believe?

Blacksmith Uncle continued: "Those people who possess Spiritual Root s to practice the Immortal Cultivation Dao, we are called Spirit Master."

"It is said that those who possess Spiritual Root are extremely rare, and thus, Spirit Master is also extremely rare. However, there are two Spirit Master s in our army of two hundred thousand. "

"That is the mighty General Liu Tianxing. The other is his Junior Brother Wang Yi. It was said that the general was a level seven Qi Refining Spirit Master. Although he could not fight against ten thousand people, he was more than enough to fight one against a hundred. Often can play a role of turning the tide at a critical moment in the battle

"Especially the general, who is not only a Spirit Master. He is also a fighting general! From what I've seen with my own eyes, the general has taken the enemy's head more than a dozen times in an army with thousands of men and horses. Warriors all worship heroes, so the general's prestige in the legion is unparalleled. "

At this point, Blacksmith Uncle's face was full of respect.

He took a sip of the tea and continued, "However, ten years ago, the general suddenly became seriously ill in the military camp and after being in a coma for ten days, he finally passed away."

"At the same time, Qi Country attacks with all our might. After fighting for seven days and seven nights, it was finally defeated and scattered. "

"At that time, I was one of the three greatest think tanks that the general had by his side. After the defeat, he had luckily escaped this calamity. "Then, they spent a year to gather all the men they could find, and they all stayed in seclusion until today."

At this moment, Blacksmith Uncle's face showed shame. "In the Great War of the past, all the soldiers bravely took the lead and fought to the death. As a scholar, I am powerless. I can only watch as my comrades fight one after the other to create a path for me to escape. They will protect this lowly life of mine. "

"Every time I think about it, I can only feel regret. After that, I became a blacksmith, practicing his physique and strengthening his physique! I hope that there will be a day when there will be a war and I don't have to hide behind other warriors to keep myself alive. "

Liu Di comforted him, "Blacksmith Uncle, everyone has their own merits, they are just doing their job. "You let the civil officials kill the enemy while the military general plotted against them from the back. Isn't this a mess? Why do you have to blame yourself?"

Blacksmith Uncle scratched his head and said, "I understand that, but I just saw them die for me. Sigh." How can I forget! "

After a moment of silence, Blacksmith Uncle continued, "Afterwards, we lived in seclusion here, making a living out of hunting and mountain goods. Using the opportunity of hunting and trading furs, we scoured everywhere for information regarding the Yan Yun Army. Mainly to find out what happened to the general and to avenge him. "

"One day, we accidentally received news of the general's wife. When we confirmed the news, we hurriedly rushed over. "Unfortunately, we were still a step too late. By the time we arrived, Madam had already been sick for more than ten days."

"Only one boy was left behind. He was only two years old." Fortunately, with the protection of the kind people in the village, he didn't starve to death. So we took the child back to the village. "

Liu Di said softly, "I'm afraid that child is me."

Blacksmith Uncle nodded slightly, "That's right. You are the only son of the mighty General Liu Tianxing. Your name is Liu Di. Just in case, there are very few people in the village who know your name.

After a pause, he continued, "When we brought you back to the village, we wanted to teach you martial arts from a young age so that you could lead us to avenge the General."

"However, after everyone agreed on it, they felt that you were the blood and bones of a general. You might even have a Spiritual Root like a general. In the future, you will be an immortal cultivator! If we were to teach you martial skills, wouldn't we be wasting your talent? "

"It's a pity that we are all martial artists, how can we tell what Spiritual Root is. After the decision is made, we will send someone to look for the Spirit Master and ask him to come to the village to verify it for you. After going through three years, only then did you find a Spirit Master to come to the village to verify your Spiritual Root's aptitude. "

"After the Spirit Master checked us out, he told us a good piece of news. You do have a Spiritual Root, you can become a Spirit Master like your father! "

"Just when everyone is celebrating the fact that the general has an heir, that Spirit Master said that you have a hidden Spiritual Root that is one in a million. This kind of Hidden Spiritual Root requires a special medicinal pellet to be activated in order to reveal the road of cultivation for the Spiritual Root. "

"This kind of pill is very rare in the human world. It is only circulated among cultivation Spirit Master s. Moreover, there were very few people who refined it. It was extremely rare. The Spirit Master also said that for cultivators with Spiritual Root, it should be best if they could cultivate it before the age of fifteen. Once we pass this age, our meridians will have fully formed. Even if we can cultivate, it will be difficult for us to advance in the later stages! "

"Therefore, in the following years, we searched everywhere for this spiritual herb called the Hidden Breaking Pill. We want to find this pill before you turn fifteen, so that you can become a Spirit Master. We will definitely not allow the descendants of our generals to do nothing, and live a mediocre life! "
