The villagers were still kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, not daring to get up.
Qin Tiexin raised his hand and took a few metal ingots left over from the construction of the bridge.
Flame was wrapped in the palm of the hand, the metal was slowly pulled apart and flattened in the fire, and then quenched in the stream not far away.
Soon, five axes fell at his feet.
The handle of the ax is made of hardwood whittled out by Qin Tiexin. The head of the ax is green and black, and the blade has a cold light.
Although it is far inferior to the Law Artifact in his storage ring, in the hands of mortals, it is already an extraordinary object.
Qin Tiexin took out a handful first and handed it to Sun Daniu.
"I'll trade this ax for your dagger."
"Hey! Hey!" Sun Daniu was stunned at first, and then nodded in response hastily, as if he was afraid that the immortal would regret it.
"This ax is good, this ax is good! I can chop trees and chop wood with ease!"
In fact, ever since Qin Tiexin showed his hand just now, Sun Daniu had no hope of getting the dagger back from the immortal.
But now I have got an ax with better quality and easier to use, so there is no reason to disagree.
Looking at Sun Daniu's reaction, Qin Tiexin nodded slightly.
Although Sun Daniu wouldn't be dissatisfied even if he didn't give the ax to Sun Daniu, Qin Tiexin still thought it would be better to give him some compensation.
It's not a troublesome thing.
Qin Tiexin Put the dagger into the storage ring and put it away.
Lin Feng was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he left here seven years ago. What could he have on him?
There is just such a dagger, which was given to him by his brother Lin Chuan.
A young man took out one of his most valuable things and gave it to a mortal farmer who saved his life. Qin Tiexin naturally would not let his good brother down.
When you see Lin Feng later, return the dagger to him in person.
There were four axes left, Qin Tiexin picked up three and handed them to the village chief.
"Village Chief, these axes are a thank you gift to the village."
The village chief waved his hands repeatedly. "You can't do it, you can't do it! The immortal built the bridge for us, it's already a huge kindness, how can we still accept it!"
"Take it, this thing is useless in my hand." Qin Tiexin put the ax into his hand, "It will save some energy when cutting the wooden planks to build the bridge."
The village chief was holding three axes, his hands were shaking, and he was speechless for a long time.
Finally, he bowed deeply to Qin Tiexin. If Qin Tiexin hadn't supported him, he would have kowtowed a few more times.
"Thank you, Immortal."
"It's all gone." Qin Tiexin waved his hand.
After finishing the things here, it's time to go do Sun Aji's things.
Qin Tiexin jumped down from the big bluestone and walked to her.
At this time, Sun Aji still had his mouth open for a long time and could not close it. He was still shocked by Qin Tiexin's "miracle".
"Sun Aji."
The girl suddenly came back to her senses. "Yes!"
"Let's go." Qin Tiexin said, "Go to your house."
"Ah?" Sun Aji was stunned for a moment, "Why are you going to my house?"
Qin Tiexin glanced at the little girl's face.
"Tell your parents about your affairs."
Sun Aji's home is at the east end of the village.
A mud house and a small courtyard.
Herbs are drying in the yard and firewood is piled in the corner.
Qin Tiexin When he walked into the yard, a man in a coarse cloth jacket was chopping firewood. When he saw him, the ax fell to the ground.
"S-Son!"
The village chief made it clear that too many people should not gather in front of the immortal for fear of disturbing the immortal.
So we made a rule: no more than one person from a family can come out.
Since Sun Aji followed Qin Tiexin, her family naturally did not follow, and they did not see Qin Tiexin's "miracle".
However, he could still recognize Qin Tiexin's appearance. The man hurriedly wiped it on his clothes and was about to kneel down.
"No need." Qin Tiexin said, "Call all your family members."
The man responded, turned and shouted into the house.
After a while, a room full of people came out.
A middle-aged woman who must be Sun Aji's mother, two elderly people, and three and a half-year-old children were looking around.
Qin Tiexin let go of Divine Sense and scan them one by one.
They are all ordinary people, clean and without any trace of Spiritual Qi.
He glanced at Sun Aji again.
The girl stood behind her mother, clenching her clothes nervously, as if she realized what was going to happen next.
Qin Tiexin turned around and asked the man, "Sun Aji is your biological child?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the man replied quickly, "My wife gave birth to the first child in our family. The next three are all boys, and this is the only one."
Qin Tiexin nodded.
Neither my parents have Spirit Root, nor my grandparents, and my three younger brothers are all clean.
Only Sun Aji has the aura of Spirit Root about him.
It seems that something strange has happened.
"My name is Qin Tiexin." He didn't explain much, looked at the man and said directly, "I'm attracted to this girl of yours."
The man was stunned and hurriedly bowed and said, "Immortal, my girl is still young..."
"That's not what I mean." Qin Tiexin raised his forehead and said in a different way, "Sun Aji is destined to be an immortal. I am willing to take her away and teach her how to practice. It depends on whether you agree or not."
The yard was quiet for a moment.
The man opened his mouth and didn't close it for a long time, and his wife's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Immortal, Immortal..." The man's voice was trembling, "This girl from my family, can she also be an immortal?"
"Yes."
"I... I am willing!" The man knelt down with a plop, "The immortal is willing to take her away. It is a blessing she has earned in eight lifetimes!"
"Don't rush to respond yet." Qin Tiexin raised his hand to help him up, "I said it before. Come with me, not to go to the town to study, but to a far away place. This journey will take at least several years, or even more than ten years, and there is a possibility that... you will never come back in your lifetime."
They don't know that Qin Tiexin has seen the cruelty in the world of immortality. To be honest, the level of cruelty is no less than that of mortal war.
Hearing this sentence, the man was stunned for a moment.
He turned to look at his wife.
His wife stood there, tears falling uncontrollably, and held Sun Aji tightly in her arms.
"... Immortal." Her voice was hoarse, "A Ji is a good boy. He will stay like this for the rest of his life in our village. It's a good thing that the girl can follow you."
She touched Sun Aji's head. The tears of mother and daughter had already wet the clothes on their chests.
"It's just... it's just that the road is too far and we can't see her. I hope the immortal can take more care of her."
After saying that, Sun Aji's mother was about to kneel down again, but was supported by Qin Tiexin's spiritual power.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
The farewell was at the door of their small courtyard.
Sun Aji's mother packed a small baggage for her, two changes of clothes, and a bag of dry food.
Her father took the bundle and put it on his daughter's shoulders. He put his hand on the top of her head and said nothing.
The three younger brothers tugged at the hem of her clothes. The youngest was only five years old. He raised his head and asked, "Sister, you have gone to become a fairy. Will you come back to catch grasshoppers for me?"
Sun Aji squatted down and straightened his collar for him.
"When you grow up, my sister will come back." She said, "When my sister comes back, I will grab a big basket for you."
Grandma moved over the threshold with a cane and stuffed two boiled eggs into her hand.
"Take it with you and eat it on the way."
Sun Aji took the egg and burst into tears. She raised her head and blinked hard to hold back the tears.
Her mother was wiping her tears beside her, but she refused to let her daughter see it.
Qin Tiexin stood at the entrance of the courtyard without urging him. Maybe the teacher and the others felt the same way when he left Ink City.
Sun Aji put the bag on his back, turned around, and took two steps towards Qin Tiexin.
Then she stopped.
Qin Tiexin thought she wanted to say a few more words to her parents.
As a result, she lifted up her clothes, "plopped" and knelt on the ground.
"Boom."
"Boom."
"Boom."
Three times, I knocked my head in the dirt yard, causing dust to fly up. When I raised my head, my forehead was a little red and swollen.
"Meet Master!!" The voice was clear and loud.
Qin Tiexin was stunned.
He originally wanted to take her back to the Flowing Cloud Sect and hand her over to the sect, or find a suitable elder to teach her.
He never thought about recruiting disciples himself.
This girl is mistaken.
He opened his mouth, originally wanting to explain a few words.
But he lowered his head and saw Sun Aji kneeling on the ground, his head buried low, his hands nervously pressed on his knees, and the tips of his ears were red.
She is serious.
Qin Tiexin was silent for a while.
He knelt down and reached out to help Sun Aji up from the ground.
"Get up."
Sun Aji looked up, his eyes full of tears.
"From today on," Qin Tiexin said, "You are my first disciple."
The girl's mouth suddenly became deflated, and tears almost fell again.
She nodded vigorously. "Yes!"
After helping Sun Aji up, Qin Tiexin took out a small porcelain bottle from the storage ring.
He poured out a little powder of the elixir and dissolved it into a bowl of water. The bowl of water glowed slightly, then quickly dispersed.
He handed the bowl to Sun Aji's father.
"As a family, let's drink together. Don't drink too much. Each person can only drink one sip."
"This..."
"After drinking it, you will get sick less often, and your body bones will be stronger than before." He paused and added, "It's not an elixir, it's just a little supplement, the effect will be better."
The man's hands were shaking a little as he held the bowl of water.
As a family, you took a sip and I finished the bowl of water and felt warm all over.
Qin Tiexin handed the last ax to the man again.
"I'll give this to you. You can use it to chop wood later."
The man did not refuse this time. He took the ax and, together with his wife, bent deeply towards Qin Tiexin.
Qin Tiexin turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Sun Aji Hurry up and pick up your baggage and follow.
She took two steps and looked back at her parents.
Her parents stood at the entrance of the courtyard and did not move until her figure turned the corner and was no longer visible.
Half a month later.
Welcome Immortals Village For the bridge, the villagers cut down planks, laid them on, and nailed them firmly.
Once the bridge is open, the road will be open.
People from several nearby villages all crossed this bridge, and Welcome Immortals Village gradually became the distribution center in this area.
There are more people going to the market, more people doing business, and life in the village is getting better year by year.
The medicinal materials on Fallen Immortal Mountain, because Spiritual Qi is more abundant than elsewhere, grow exceptionally well, and even have much better medicinal effects.
When I picked it up in the town, the herbal medicine dealer fell in love with it at first sight. Later, it spread all the way to the prefecture and then to the capital.
Welcome Immortals Village's medicinal materials gradually became exclusive to the royal family.
The people in the village are not ungrateful.
The village chief took the lead and the whole village pooled money to erect a monument at the head of the bridge, with three words engraved on it:
Immortal Qin Bridge.
The bridge body has been used for decades, and the iron cables have never rusted or broken.
The planks were replaced batch after batch, but the iron cables remained the same.
The old people said that this was something left by the immortals and could be used for a thousand years.
A few years later, Thorn Fairy returned home.
She Wood Element is extremely skilled in magic. She looked at the four iron ropes and smiled.
She raised her hand, and the vines climbed up from the bridge head, wrapping around the four iron cables in a circle, wrapping the entire bridge into a long green dragon.
From then on, there was no need to replace the wooden planks, and the vines had already been firmly planted on the bridge.
The vines are strong and soft when stepped on.
Tiny little flowers bloom all year round on the bridge. When the wind blows, the fragrance of the flowers floats half a mile away.
This bridge has become a wonder in the northwest border.
People passing by said that it was Thorn Fairy who added a green layer of green clothing to the bridge left by her master.
The monument at the end of the bridge was polished by the villagers.
The words on the stele are still clear after hundreds of years.
