It was not until dawn that I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, the sun was almost climbing above my head. It felt like it was almost noon, but the surroundings were still quiet, without any movement.

I only realized during dinner last night that this big man's house was passed down by the old man's ancestors. It's obvious from this scale that their family was a prosperous and famous sect back then, but now it has declined. Because there are few people, they all live in this yard, and the rest of the house is abandoned. Only after I came here did I get a table of mahjong people.

However, at that time, I was all my energy on seafood and I was not surprised at all. Now I felt that there were only four people living in such a large house. It was indeed incredible. This kind of thing happened in the backward ancient times. If it were modern society, it would have long become an island resort.

I was thinking about pushing open the door of the house, thinking about what the old man told me last night, and pointed one by one. This room was owned by the old man, this room was owned by Uncle Gu, this room was owned by Kang Bo, this room was stored in the storage room, this room was the kitchen, and when you turn right after the yard door, you will see the toilet.

Thinking of the toilet, my stomach immediately felt like a volcanic eruption. There was no way for anyone to eat too much last night, so I ran away. After a shocking loud noise, I walked out of it. I felt refreshed and relaxed. I couldn't help but stretched, but suddenly a voice came from my ear, "You are finally willing to get up! You can eat and sleep, I really believe you."

I don't have to think about who the person I was talking to, so I immediately turned my head and pretended to be surprised, "Oh! Isn't this Master Wentian? It's such a coincidence that I met here. It turned out that Master Wentian also had to go to the bathroom in person." "Hmph!" The old man ignored me, just snorted and hurried into the bathroom, and then covered his nose and rushed out from it at a faster speed. "What did you eat last night? Why is it so smelly!" "Seafood, how is it taste different from eating corn cakes." I said with a smile, and left quickly without waiting for the old man to speak.

Life on the island began like this. Because the old man and Uncle Gu were busy making medicine with jade cups and fruits, and Kang Bo was busy doing housework, I wandered around the island alone, and occasionally helped Kang Bo do something, mainly responsible for seafood.

The first few days felt very novel. It turned out that the sunrise and sunset on the sea were so beautiful. Sitting alone on the top of the mountain, blowing the sea breeze, watching the white waves on the sea and sea birds foraging, I was fascinated by the sight of the seafood we ate was not bought, but picked up by the beach at low tide, and we could pick up as much as we wanted. Sea cucumbers, which are regarded as luxury goods in our hometown, are worthless here. As long as we are willing to bow, you can pick them up.

The process of fishing crabs and prawns is even more interesting. Use a large bamboo basket with a hole in the lid, put some fish internal organs in it, tie a rope and throw it into the sea for a night. When it was pulled up the next day, the bamboo basket was basically filled with these two things. Then Comb would pick out some big and fat, and put the rest back into the sea.

More than ten days passed in a flash, and my interest in the island scenery was gradually declining, and my interest in seafood was declining even more. I wanted to eat meat, eggs, and vegetables. As long as it was not seafood, I could eat anything.

In fact, there are not many of these things on the island. The fish maker is purchasing the daily necessities for us. He will come every three or four days, but the premise is that the weather is sunny. In the past ten days after I went to the island, there was a strong wind on the sea. In such weather, the fish maker's boat naturally cannot go to the island, so we even ate seafood for more than ten days.

Most people may not be able to understand what it feels like to have sour water in their stomachs after seeing seafood. They can’t even feel the feeling of crabs and prawns in front of them, but they want to eat corn cakes. Now I know all about seafood, but I want to strangle them all to death to save them from appearing in front of me.

Eating has become a torment for me, especially the old man would say from time to time, "Hey! Why do you eat so little?" "I lose weight, no," I always fight back hard, and then the old man would look at me with a smirk, which made me grit my teeth with hatred but helpless.

More than ten days later, Uncle Gu's medicine was finally prepared. After taking the medicine, Uncle Gu stayed in peace for two more days. After breakfast that day, the old man and Uncle Gu did not let me go out for a stroll, but kept me in the house with a serious expression. First, the old man told me about Uncle Gu's identity. After listening to it, I realized that Uncle Gu and the old man were not a family. I always thought they were classmates or relatives.

It turns out that Guitian Dao was really famous in ancient times, which was equivalent to being the boss of the fortune-telling world. However, they would not easily calculate for others and would only take action when disaster was approaching. The "Demon-Destroying Battle" back then was calculated by several ancestors of Guitian Dao, which allowed the monks in this world to be fully prepared and robbed and killed as soon as the monster appeared, and then they won. If all the demon army was allowed to land safely, history would probably be rewritten.

However, this kind of divination calculation for major events in the world requires consuming the source of the divination calculation's natal life, which will reduce the life of the divination calculation. The greater the matter, the greater the damage to the divination calculation. When the divination calculation is "The Battle of Subduing Demons", several ancestors who peer at the Heavenly Dao thought that this matter was too great, so several people joined forces to fight this damage, but they did not succeed. In the few days after the calculation of this divination, these ancestors passed away one after another.

After the victory of the "Battle of Subduing Demons", in order to thank the ancestors of Guitian Dao and to protect Guitian Dao, the cultivation world at that time set a rule that the four most powerful families at that time were responsible for protecting Guitian Dao. Gu Shu's family was one of them, but their cultivation path was rare at that time, and they entered the Tao with martial arts.

It has been countless years since then, and the cultivation sects in this world have declined. Among the four families that protected the Tao of Peeping Heaven back then, two of them have broken their inheritance. The other one has descendants, but they no longer abide by the ancestral teachings. Only the family of Gu still adheres to the rules set by their ancestors. However, until now, they have only Uncle Gu left in their family, not only without children, but even without disciples.

After talking about these things, the old man and Uncle Gu looked a little lonely. After a while, the old man continued to express his plan and asked me to take Uncle Gu as his teacher. On the one hand, it would prevent Uncle Gu's family from cutting off the inheritance. On the other hand, the world is no longer suitable for cultivation. However, the impact of practicing martial arts is smaller than that of practicing. It is impossible to enter the Tao with martial arts, but at least it can strengthen the body and at the same time it also has an additional means to save your life.

Of course, I am willing to practice martial arts in one thousand percent! This is something I have always dreamed of since I was a child. Although there are no hidden masters in our place, there are two young martial arts classes, but the adults at home don’t agree to me. Their reason is: Even when I didn’t practice martial arts, I would have climbed trees all day long and got into trouble everywhere. If I practiced again, it would be a big deal.

So my dream of practicing martial arts was strangled. Now God has opened the door to me again. Of course, I rushed in at a speed of 100 meters. So I immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Uncle Gu, and called "Master" respectfully. This action made the old man sitting next to me shine with a look of jealousy. Thinking that the old man was really good to me, I turned around and knelt down to the old man, kowtowed three times respectfully, and called "Master" again.

My actions made the old man and Uncle Gu so happy that they couldn't find each other. Especially the old man, whose eyes were not big, now they were smiling and narrowed into a slit. If it weren't for the crystal tears on the corners of his eyes, I would have thought it was a pair of double eyelids that had just been cut.

I feel very moved when I see them. The happiest thing in the world should be to make the people who love you feel happy. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand this before, and always made my parents and grandparents angry and worried. Now I finally understand, but I may never have the chance to compensate again.

"Xiao Zheng, according to the rules, since you call me Master, then the master should give you a meeting gift." Uncle Gu's words interrupted my thoughts. When I looked over, he had already picked up a knife on the table. He looked at it affectionately for a while, then reached out and touched the knife before saying to me, "I am alone now, and there is nothing to do around me. This 'Lieyang Knife' has been with me for many years. I will give it to you now. I hope you can use it well and not let the master down for your expectations."

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely use it well." While solemnly agreeing, I reached out to take the knife handed over by Uncle Gu, but I was a little confused. From the appearance, the scabbard of this knife is straight, and the hilt is not long. It can only be held with one hand. It looks like a sword no matter how you look. But why did Uncle Gu say that this is a knife? Moreover, the appearance of this knife looks very ordinary, and even feel a bit worn. The scabbard is a little damaged. It should not look very precious. I don't understand why Uncle Gu has such a deep affection for it.

But the old man's reaction made me change this idea immediately. He looked at Uncle Gu in shock, "Agu, do you really want to give the 'Lieyang Sword' to Xiaozheng?" Uncle Gu smiled faintly, "Xiao Zheng is my apprentice, this knife will be passed to him sooner or later."
