"Uncle Zhou, is Brother Daodao at home?" A group of eleven or twelve children came to the gate of a courtyard and shouted.

"I don't know, I don't know, I'm not at home, I'm going to play." An impatient voice came from the room.

Several children stuck out their tongues and laughed and ran away.One of the little boys with a sharp camera said: "I know where Brother Dao Dao is, but I dare not go there." The other children shouted when they heard it: "I know, I know too."

"How about we go there to play?" one of the children suggested.

"No, no, no. My parents won't let me go, and besides, that place is gloomy and scary."

"I'm not going either. It's going to be dark soon, and I'm going home." After a while, a group of children dispersed.

This is a small village at the foot of the mountain, called Zhoujia Village, the village is not very big.I usually rely on the reclaimed mountain land to grow some crops, and sometimes I go to the mountains to hunt, and my life is considered passable, which feels like a paradise.

The back of the village leads directly to the mountain, and no one living near here knows how big the mountain is.Those who usually hunt do not dare to go deep.At most, I walked dozens of miles and came back.Going further in for fear of getting lost.

But there is a valley about ten miles behind the village. This valley is bare, and there is no grass in it.If you look from above, you will find a huge handprint in the middle of the valley, yes, it is a big handprint.But in the middle of the handprint lay a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.This young man is very thin, with an ordinary appearance and a thin face, but his eyes are very energetic.The boy looked up at the sky, and the moon was a little bit out.He muttered, "It's time to go home." Then he slowly crawled out of the fingerprints.After coming up, I looked at the valley again before turning around and going home.

In the eyes of the villagers, this is a very strange valley. There are deep pits, handprints, and fist prints in the valley. What's more outrageous is that a hill next to it seems to have been split by an axe, and a road in the middle has just been passed by.The old people in the village said that it was caused by a fight between the gods in the sky.It's best not to go, you will be haunted by ghosts and so on.Therefore, people in the village usually go around hunting.And don't let your kids go there to play.

As soon as the boy arrived at the entrance of the village, a group of children came up in order to "Brother Daodao is back", "Is that fun", "Is there a ghost?"

"Okay, okay, I'm going home, so what's wrong with that, and don't call me Brother Dao Dao, call me Brother Zhou Dao" "Got it, got it Brother Dao Dao, hee hee."

After Zhou Dao returned home, his father was reading a book. Zhou Dao’s father’s name was Zhou Wenshu, a very scholarly name. He was called a nerd by the villagers. It’s useless to read in the mountains. After the wife, the family even ate the last meal without the next meal.It can be seen from Zhou Dao's thin body, but Zhou Dao admires his father very much, because in his eyes, his father knows many things.At least know how to read, the villagers do not know;

Zhou Dao started to read and write since he was a child. He asked, "Why do you want to study?" His father said, "After you finish reading, you don't have to worry about it." But he was very puzzled by this sentence.Until Zhou Dao went to that valley, and when he came back, he asked if he could be as good as a god after reading the book, and then he was beaten up.Although he was beaten, Zhou Dao still went to play in the valley whenever he was free.But why do you want to read and never ask again.

After dinner at night, Zhou Dao lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Are those marks really caused by gods?It should be how can a person be so powerful? If only I were a god. . . . .Fell asleep in a daze.In the dream, I also dreamed that I became a fairy and punched a hole in the mountain.

Zhou Dao was awakened by the sound of rain, and it was already dawn when he got up.Looking outside the door, it was raining heavily, and I could only see 30 meters.At this time, my father should be in a daze with a book.He went to the kitchen and made some food, and brought a bowl of porridge to his father and put it on the table.Then I moved a stool and sat at the door in a daze.

The heavy rain did not stop until the afternoon, but it was impossible to go out.There is no way I have no place to play these days, so I can only go to my father to get some books to read.Zhou Dao didn't like to read books taught by his father, and often read some wild history essays when his father was not at home.

After two days, Zhou Dao was called to play by the children when he was almost done on the road.In the afternoon, Zhou Dao thought: I haven’t been to the valley for a long time, I’ll go and have a look in the afternoon.By the time we reached the valley, the sun had already set.As soon as Zhoudao entered the valley, he felt that this place was different from usual, and he couldn't tell what was different, which felt weird.When Zhou Dao came to the place where he usually played, he found something different on the opposite mountain wall as soon as he sat down.

Zhou Dao got up and looked wherever he went, it seemed to be a hole.I didn't find it many times before, but this time, the heavy rain washed away the mud and rocks a few days ago, which exposed the entrance of the cave.

Zhou Dao stepped forward and took a careful look, thinking: there will be no snakes.Picking up a stone and carefully throwing it in, it seemed that nothing happened.Then he went forward and carefully opened the hole, and found that the hole was not small, similar to the gate of his own house.Glancing at the dark hole, I felt a little scared for no reason.After hesitating for a while, he gave up the plan to go in.Then he left the valley step by step and turned his head three times.Lying in bed at night wondering what's inside?There will be no immortals?Yes, it may be a god, otherwise how did Xiaogu's traces come from.Thinking that tourists can be gods, Zhou Dao became excited psychologically.I wanted to go and have a look, but it was so late and the sky was so dark, I was afraid just thinking about it, so I had to wait until tomorrow.

The next day I didn't eat breakfast, so I hurried to the kitchen to get flint and set out on the road, and made another torch at the door.Only then did I trot all the way to the mountain road under the suspicious eyes of the villagers. When I entered the valley, I still felt the same as yesterday.Come to the entrance of the cave.Light the torches.Step by step carefully walked into the cave while the heartbeat accelerated.After walking in, I realized that the cave is very shallow, and you can see the end at a glance.Zhou Dao was very disappointed.Just as I was thinking of exiting, I saw something in the corner of the cave. When I got closer, I ran out of the cave in fright. When I came outside the cave, I took a few deep breaths and felt much better.After thinking about it in my heart, I went in again with a torch.

It turned out that there was a skeleton inside the cave. I don't know how many years, and there was nothing around it. It probably rotted into ashes after a long time.

Zhou Dao stepped forward and kicked carefully, feeling his body go numb, and seeing the skeleton turn into ashes.Zhou Dao's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to leave when he noticed that there seemed to be light scattered in the ashes, then he walked forward cautiously, jumped with the torch, and found that it was a small bead.

Zhou Dao took the bead and walked out of the cave, only to see clearly from the outside, it turned out to be a small purple round bead, about the size of a thumb.Looking at the sun, the whole body is purple. After looking at it for a while, I feel nothing. I was about to put it in my pocket. I kept looking at the beads and didn’t pay attention to my feet. I was kicked by a stone on the ground. I didn’t find my knee A layer of skin was wiped off, and blood streaks came out.Zhou Dao wiped it with his hand and didn't care anymore.Picking up the bead that fell on the ground, he was about to go home, but as soon as his hand touched the bead, the bead gave off a dazzling purple light, and Zhou Dao fainted in the light.Then I saw the purple light getting brighter and brighter, until finally the whole valley became purple, and even the sky was reflected purple. After about an hour or so, the light gradually weakened until there was no more purple beads. , only Zhou Dao was unconscious on the ground.

At this time, [-] miles away from Xiaogu, there is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles. There is a world-famous sect in the mountain range: Wangxing Pavilion.A middle-aged man sat cross-legged in a cave in the forbidden area of ​​Wangxing Pavilion. This middle-aged man closed his eyes and remained motionless like a stone statue.At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his closed eyes, and there seemed to be two divine lights flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, Qi Lianqi Villa, Wuxingmen, Zen, Xuanyinjiao, and other major sects, as well as some casual practitioners, all set their sights on the place emitting purple light.For a while, all the sects were talking about it, guessing what happened.

And Zhou Dao felt as if he had entered a dream the moment the purple light came on.And it was an extremely chaotic dream, Zhou Dao felt like a dream he had once when he had a high fever when he was a child.It feels like something is slowly becoming brighter. At first it seems to be round, and then it changes into various shapes and colors. It is so gorgeous that it makes people feel dizzy.It seems that something is squeezing me around again, and there seems to be something in my mind that is getting bigger and smaller!Thick and thin, the oppressed head is very uncomfortable.

While Zhou Dao was still in a coma, a man in black came quickly from afar, and came to the valley within a few breaths.After coming to the valley, I searched around, but found nothing except a cave and a boy lying on the ground.The man in black first looked at the child on the ground, then entered the cave again, and came out again after a while, picked up the child on the ground and looked around, but disappeared for several hours.

When Zhou Dao woke up, he found that he was lying on the bed at home, and his father was lying beside the bed, apparently already asleep.Zhou Dao sat up, touched his head feeling very confused, and felt that he was different from usual.

Zhou Dao just wanted to get out of bed, but his father woke up. Seeing Zhou Dao woke up with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and touched Zhou Dao's head: "Are you okay?" "Are you okay?" Zhou Dao was very confused. "Stinky boy, you still said it's okay, I told you not to run around, don't go to that small valley, now it's okay, something happened." Something happened, Zhou Dao was still in a daze. "Okay, okay, just wake up. You don't know that you have been asleep for three days. If you don't wake up, I'm going to die of anxiety. I'm hungry. Come and eat something quickly."

After Zhou Dao got up, he went to the door of the room to look outside and felt that something was wrong. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, and found that he could see farther and more clearly than usual.Even the small hills in the distance felt closer than usual, "Hey, what's going on, am I dreaming?"

"By the way, father, how did I come back?" Zhou Dao asked during the meal. "Well, an old gentleman sent you back. After sending you back, he went out. It seems that he will come again in a few days." Just after Zhou Dao finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the door.Zhou Wenshu looked at it and then stood up in surprise: "Ah, the old man is here, please sit down quickly, have you eaten yet?" Hehe, I have eaten, I have eaten, Mr. Zhou, you are welcome. coming? "Zhou Dao looked curiously at an old man in black who came in. He had a kind face, a thin face, a long beard, and piercing eyes. At this time, his eyes were looking at him without blinking.

Zhou Daozheng felt a little embarrassed, but he heard his father say: "It was this Mr. Lu who carried you back from the valley, and if you didn't get up quickly to thank you, you really are not polite at all."

Zhou Dao hurriedly stood up: "Thank you, old man!" "Hehe, don't be polite, don't be polite."

The old man glanced at Zhou Dao and said to Zhou Wenshu: "Mr. Zhou, I want to accept your son as an apprentice, what do you think?"

"Being an apprentice?" Both father and son were very surprised.

"That's right, the old man sees that your son's bones are exquisite and his face is extraordinary, which is a good material for martial arts training. I wonder what Mr. Zhou will do?"

"Practicing martial arts?" The father and son were full of doubts again.

"Yes!" The old man thought for a while: "Come and follow me."

Then three people came to the yard. "See that stone?" The old man pointed to a big bluestone in the yard and said.This stone is one meter long and half a meter wide. "I see." The father and son looked blank, isn't this just a rock? "Look at it!" The old man raised his hand and waved at the stone, feeling very casual and chic.

"Bang" the father and son's eyes widened.Zhou Dao was stunned for a moment, and then ran forward to stare blankly at the place where the stones were placed.A big rock that was fine just now was shattered, and it was still so broken that it couldn't be broken any more.

"Hehe, how can this kind of kung fu be okay?" Seeing the expressions of the father and son, he laughed.

There is nothing to say. In this case, of course the master-student relationship has been established.According to the old man's narration, his name is Lu Ziming, and he belongs to a sect called "Tianlongmen".And it seems to be an elder in it.The old man was a little proud when he said this.In the end, the father and son heard that they would go back to the mountain gate to practice martial arts in the future, and sometimes both father and son hesitated when they could not go home for many years.

Seeing this, the old man said: "Does a man want to stay at home all his life? Does Mr. Zhou want to see his son nest in a ravine all his life! You must know that the outside world is very big, and although you can't live forever after learning martial arts, you can't live forever." There is no problem in living a few hundred years.”

"Hundreds of years old?"

"Yeah, I think Xiaodao is very talented. If you are an ordinary person, you may not have a chance. Besides, you don't want to leave now. You should stay here for a while, so you can practice your basic skills first." Zhou Wenshu didn't say in the end. What.He just looked at his son with reluctance and kindness on his face.

In this way, Zhou Dao embarked on the road of martial arts.
