Chapter 1 Leave home

The iron pillar sat on the side of the road in the village, looking at the blue sky, looking in a daze. Iron pillar is not his real name, but the nickname called according to the custom because his father was afraid of being unable to keep him alive because of his thin body.

His real name is Wang Lin. Wang's surname is regarded as a big surname in several villages around. His ancestors were born as carpenters, especially in the county. Wang's family is also quite famous and has several shops specializing in selling wood products.

The father of iron pillar was the second son of the family. He could not take over the family's priorities, but left the county town after the marriage and settled in this village.

Due to the exquisite Carpenter's work, the family of iron pillar is well-off, and it is easy to eat and wear. Even in the village, it is more respected.

Iron pillar has been extremely smart since childhood. He likes reading books and has many ideas. He is almost a recognized child prodigy in the village. Every time his father hears praise from others, his wrinkles will bloom on his face, showing a cheerful smile.

His mother cared better about him. It can be said that from childhood to adulthood, iron pillars lived in the love of his parents. He knew that his parents had high expectations for him. Other people's children had already worked on farm work at his age, but he was studying at home.

After reading too many books, thoughts naturally followed. He was full of yearning for the world outside the mountain village. Looking up at the end of the path, the iron pillar sighed, closed the book in his hand, got up and walked towards home.

Father sat in the yard with a cigarette bag in his hand. After taking a deep breath, he said to the iron pillar pushing the door and entering, "Iron Pillar, how is the book reading?"

The iron pillar dealt with a few words. My father knocked on the cigarette bag and got up and said, "iron pillar, you have to study hard. Next year, the county will take a big exam. If you have any promise in the future, it depends on this time. Don't stay in the village like me, alas."

"All right, you talk about it every day. I want to say that our iron pillar will definitely be admitted." The mother of the iron pillar took the food and put it on the table in the courtyard to greet their father and son to come over for dinner.

The iron pillar made a sound. After sitting down, she pulled out a few mouths casually. The mother looked at her son lovingly and put a few pieces of meat into him.

"Dad, is the fourth uncle coming soon?" The iron pillar looked up and said.

"Calculate the time, it's almost these days. Your fourth uncle is more promising than your father. Alas, his mother, have you packed all the mountain dishes prepared for lao si?" When my father mentioned the fourth, his face showed a sigh.

Mother nodded and said with emotion, "Iron Pillar, your fourth uncle is a good man. Thanks to his help in recent years, the wood carvings made by your father can only be sold for money. If you have a promising future, don't forget to repay your fourth uncle."

As he was saying, suddenly there was the sound of horses outside the door, and then the sound of horses rolling down the ground followed, and a bright voice rang outside.

"Second Brother, open the door."

The iron pillar was surprised and ran to push the gate of the yard immediately. I saw a strong middle-aged man standing outside the door with bright eyes. He smiled and touched his head when he saw the iron pillar. He smiled and said, "iron pillar, I haven't seen it for half a year. I am tall again."

Iron Pillar's parents quickly stood up, and his father smiled, "fourth, I'll make an appointment, and you're coming. Come on in, iron pillar, and don't go to get a stool for your fourth uncle."

The iron pillar responded happily and hurried back to the house. He took out a bench and put it beside the dining table. He wiped it carefully with his sleeves and looked at the middle-aged man with hope.

The middle-aged man blinked at him and joked, "Iron Pillar, why are you so diligent this time? I remember the last time I came, you didn't do this."

Iron Pillar father glared at the iron pillar and scolded with a smile: "This little rabbit, just now he was talking about whether you are coming or not."

The middle-aged man saw the small red face of the iron pillar and smiled, "Iron Pillar, your fourth uncle didn't forget what he promised you." After that, take out two linear books from the arms and put them on the table.

The iron pillar cheered excitedly, picked up the book and looked through it, delighted.

Tie Zhu looked at his son kindly and said to the middle-aged man, "fourth, your brother always talks about you at ordinary times. Stay for a few more days this time."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "second sister-in-law, there are many things in the family. I will go back early tomorrow morning. When this time is finished, I will come to see you again." After that, he looked at his second brother apologetically.

The father of iron pillar sighed and said, "Don't listen to your sister-in-law in the fourth year. It is the most important thing for the family to pack the goods tomorrow. It is the same for us to get together later."

The middle-aged man looked at the father of the iron pillar and said, "second brother, is the iron pillar 15 years old this year?"

Iron pillar's father nodded and said with emotion: "after a year, this little rabbit is sixteen. Alas, it's so fast that more than ten years have passed." As he said, he looked at his son with a spoiling eye.

The middle-aged man was a little silenced and looked like a little, saying, "second brother, second sister-in-law, tell you something. Hengyue sent to collect disciples this year. The family has three recommend places, and I have one here."

Iron Pillar's father was stunned and said, "Hengyue school? But is that Hengyue school full of immortals?"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded and said, "second brother, it is the fairy family. Our family is also a wanggong in the vicinity, and has recommend qualifications. You know, my boy can't read, but he is good at dancing knives and swords. I think the immortal will not accept my boy. This quota is precious. I think the iron pillar is smart since I was young, and I like reading. Maybe it can be done."

Tiedzhu's mother was very happy and said hurriedly, "Fourth, this... This..."

The middle-aged man touched the head of the iron pillar and said, "second brother, second sister-in-law, I think this matter is settled. Let the iron pillar try. If it is really collected, it will be his blessing."

Iron Pillar looked at his parents and his fourth uncle puzzled. He couldn't understand what they said, fairy? What is a fairy? The iron pillar hesitated and asked softly.

The middle-aged man looked serious and looked at the iron pillar and said, "Iron Pillar, fairy can fly around in the sky. Each of them is full of magic, which is not something we ordinary can figure out."

The iron pillar was ignorant and had a little curiosity about the fairy.

The father of Iron Pillar got up excitedly and pulled the iron pillar. His mother would bow to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man quickly picked them up and said sincerely, "second brother, what are you doing. My mother died early. If it wasn't for my second mother to take care of me when she was a child, I wouldn't have today. Iron pillar is my nephew, and I should do so."

Iron pillar's father cried with emotion. He patted the middle-aged man heavily, nodded his head, and then said sharply to iron pillar, "wang lin, remember, no matter what happens in the future, don't forget your fourth uncle's kindness to our family, otherwise I won't have your son!"

His heart trembled inside the iron pillar. Although he was still ignorant of the immortal, he saw from his parents' expressions that they attached great importance to this matter, so he knelt in front of his fourth uncle and made several loud noises.

The middle-aged man pulled up the iron pillar and said with appreciation: "Good boy, you tidy up these days, I will pick you up at the end of the month!"

In the evening, the iron pillar slept early, and the voices of his father and his fourth uncle in the yard could be heard in his ears. His father was very happy today. He seldom drank, and he wanted to have a few drinks with his fourth uncle.

Fairy? What is it?" Iron Pillar was very excited in his heart. His young heart vaguely knew that this would be an opportunity for himself and a chance to go to the outside world!

The next morning, the fourth uncle left, and the parents of the iron pillar took him to the village. On the way back, the iron pillar clearly saw that his father seemed to be much younger at once, and his eyes were full of expectations.

This kind of expectation is much stronger than when he was asked to go to the county for a big exam before.

There is no secret at all in the small hill village, even if a dog gives birth to several children, it can spread all over the village in an instant. Soon all the people in the village knew the news from their mother's mouth and visited one after another. Everyone looked at the iron pillar differently, with envy and envy...

"Wang's family gave birth to a good baby, and they were accepted as disciples by Hengyue."

"I have seen him grow up since I was young. This child is smart when he is young. This time he has become a disciple of Hengyue school again, and he will surely have great achievements in the future."

"The iron pillar is capable. Don't forget our village when you are promising in the future. Come back and have a look."

Such words poured into the ears of iron pillars one after another, and gradually said that he had become a disciple of Hengyue school. Every time his parents heard it, they couldn't close their mouths with laughter, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be much less.

Every time the iron Pillar walked alone in the village, all the villagers who saw him enthusiastically pulled him to ask questions. What's more, they even took the iron pillar as an example and instructed him in front of their children.

Half a month passed quickly, and the news that Tiezhu became a disciple of Hengyue school spread rapidly. Villagers from ten miles and eight townships around came to congratulate one after another. Their main purpose was to have a look at Tiezhu.

When everyone comes, they will prepare gifts, and their parents can't push them off, so they will accept them. However, when these people left, they would all prepare a heavy return for them. According to the words of the father of tizhu, our baby would be a fairy in the high place in the future, and he could not be allowed to owe so many human debts. We would return all the villagers who visited him.

At this time, the members of the Wang family gradually knew that the old four gave their children the quota to the iron pillar, and they came to say hi one after another.

His father attached great importance to his family. Many of these people looked down upon him before, and some of them forced him out of the family many years ago. Now these people came to his house one by one, making him feel that many years of depression were swept away.

He discussed with tizhu his mother and prepared to entertain her well, so he spent a lot of money and asked the teacher in the village to write down the invitation and send it to the family.

The teacher said nothing to collect money, but asked the iron pillar to admit that he had studied here since he was young. There was nothing to say about the iron pillar. This was the truth.

After the invitation was sent, most of the relatives in the wang family came to celebrate. Because there were too many people coming, his father chose the place of reception in the square in the center of the village and placed hundreds of tables for banquet.

The residents of the village helped to entertain themselves. When talking to each other, they all praised and praised the iron pillar.

As for the Iron Pillar's father, he met his wife and children in person at the village entrance and introduced the identity of relatives to the iron pillar one by one.

"This is your third grandfather. When your father left the family, your third grandfather secretly helped a lot. Iron Pillar, you will remember the reward in the future." Iron Pillar's father helped an old man with white hair and said to Wang Lin.

The iron pillar was so clever that the old man looked at the iron pillar and said with emotion, "second child, the time is so fast. Your doll is so big. You are very good and more promising than you."

The father of the iron pillar turned red and smiled, "three grandfathers, the child of the iron pillar was smart since childhood, and he was designated to be better than me. You must walk slowly, son and mother, holding the third grandfather to the past."

Iron Pillar mother hurried forward and helped the old man to the banquet.

After seeing the old man left, his father snorted and said to the iron pillar, "this old man, he didn't look at your father at the beginning and had to drive me away. Now the iron pillar is promising and you are happy again. This relative is like this."

The iron pillar nodded unconsciously and asked, "Dad, is the fourth uncle coming today?"

Tiedong's father shook his head and said, "your fourth uncle came a letter. He couldn't come back in other places. He couldn't get back until he picked you up at the end of the month."

At this time, there was a carriage coming. After stopping at the entrance of the village, he walked out of an old man in his fifties. He looked at his father, sighed softly and said, "second child, congratulations."

Iron Pillar father had a complicated face and said a long time later, "Brother..."

The old man glanced at the iron pillar and smiled, "second child, this is your boy, not bad, maybe he can be chosen this time."

Iron Pillar's father frowned and then stretched out and said, "Iron Pillar's child has no advantages, but he is smart and willing to read. This time he will be chosen."

"That is not necessarily the case. The immortal sect collects disciples. The requirements are very strict, and whether there is a fairy fate or not. I think this boy is stupid, and it is useless to go there." A arrogant voice came leisurely, walking from the carriage to a sixteen-seven teenager.

The young man was handsome in appearance, with sharp swords and eyebrows. His face looked like jade and his eyes showed contempt.

Iron Pillar's father glared at each other, while Wang Lin looked at each other deeply and did not speak.

The old man looked clean and shouted, "Wang Zhuo, why is it so impolite? This is your second uncle, this is your brother Wang Lin, and there is no gift yet." After that, he said to the father of the iron pillar again, "the dog speaks badly. Don't mind second child,..." Speaking of this, he turned his head and said, "but second child, it is not that simple to accept this fairy. It is necessary to pay attention to fate. This time it is hengyue paidao that immortals value dogs. This is why he is interested in my wang family and gave three places including dogs."

Iron Pillar father snorted and said, "since your baby can do it, my baby will definitely be selected!"

The young man laughed with shame and didn't care about the old man's censor at all. He despised and said, "You are the second uncle. I advise you not to think about it. This immortal system is almost the same without saying anything. This silly boy can't compare with this young master. He is a disciple appointed by the immortal teacher. Can he compare?"

The old man's face flashed with pride, scolded a few more words, gave a fist to his father, and took the teenager to the banquet.

"Iron pillar, don't have pressure. It's nothing if you really haven't been selected. It's the same if you go to the county for a big exam next year." Tiedong's father held back the weather for half a day, then relaxed after a long time, said earnestly.

Wang lin looked firm and whispered, "dad, don't worry, I will be chosen!"

His father patted his son's shoulder gently, and his eyes showed his expectation.

Many relatives were welcomed one after another. Iron pillar's father finally took him back to the banquet. At this time, his friends were full of people, and the scene was very lively. Everyone celebrated each other and was bustling.

"Relatives in the family, parents and villagers, I don't have any culture and can't say any words in Wang Tianshui, but I am happy today. My baby has the chance to be chosen by Hengyue school this time, which is the happiest thing in my life. I will not say anything more. Thank you for coming here to say hi, thank you!" The father of the Iron Pillar said loudly and picked up the wine glass completely.

"Second child, your doll has been smart since he was a child. He will definitely be selected and become a fairy like Wang Zhuo's child."

"Second Brother, you have the child of iron pillar. It's not a waste of life in your life. You can wait for happiness in the future."

"Iron Pillar, give your father a sense of contention, this time I will enter Hengyue faction anyway."

The scene was full of glory for a while, and the celebration was full of noise. But secretly, many people were holding the mood of watching the scene. For example, wang zhuo's father was like this. On the surface of his congratulations, he never looked down on this second brother in his heart, especially for his children. He looked at his kid and looked at the iron pillar again. He didn't think too much about it. Although he was unexpected, but as long as those immortals are not blind, it is impossible to choose iron pillars.

Life was in a variety of ways, and everyone here could see it one by one. His father took the iron pillar, toasted each table, and introduced one strange relative after another.

On this day, Iron Pillar's father drank a lot of wine. He had never been so beautiful. Until very late, relatives left one after another. When he left, the young wang zhuo still looked down on his expression. He whispered in the ear of the iron pillar while people didn't pay attention: "silly boy, you won't be chosen. You don't have that material."

After that, he smiled contemptuously and left with his father.

Back home, the iron pillar was lying on the bed, and the heart secretly decided that no matter what, it would also be chosen!

Half a month passed by in a hurry. On this day, the fourth uncle of iron pillar came with a carriage.

Iron Pillar's parents hurriedly welcomed him into the room. The middle-aged man washed his face and said in a hurry, "second brother, second sister-in-law, I can't stay for a long time this time. I will pick up the iron pillar and leave immediately. Hengyue will send to pick up people tomorrow morning."

The father of the iron pillar was stunned, and there was a hint of unwillingness on his face. He Said decisively, "OK, the iron pillar, follow your fourth uncle, you... If you are selected, you will be steadfast in Hengyue school, if... If you are not selected, don't have any burden and come back home."

Iron Pillar looked at his parents reluctantly and nodded heavily. His mother took out a package from the room and said lovingly, "Iron Pillar, go out and listen to the fourth uncle's words. Don't make trouble. Outside is not more patient than home. When things happen, mother has prepared a few new clothes for you and your favorite baked sweet potato. Mother will think of you. If you are not selected, she will come back..." Iron Pillar his mother said and said, tears flowed down.

The iron pillar has never been out of the village since he was young. This time, it was his first time to leave.

The fourth uncle sighed and said, "Iron Pillar, give your parents a sense of contention and must be chosen. Second brother, second sister-in-law, the family will have a large celebration party in a few days. Today, I am anxious. I will pick you up tomorrow. The three dolls of the family will be recommend. Then there will be results."

After that, he took the iron pillar and hurried onto the carriage. He took a whip from the horse and drove away.

The parents of the iron pillar have been looking at the fast-disappearing carriage, and tears have flowed.

"His father, the iron pillar has never left us. Will he be bullied when he goes out this time." Iron pillar his mother bit his lower lip, and her eyes showed no choice.

"When the doll grows up, it has its own blessing..." Iron Pillar father picked up the cigarette bag and took a deep breath. The wrinkles on his face suddenly increased a lot.
