Soul Master.
In everyone's eyes, they are extremely noble beings, the most respected profession on the continent, without a doubt.
However, in Tang San's view, the commoners respect the soul masters more out of awe and longing than admiration.
Everyone longs to become a soul master.
Ever since Tang San became sensible, he has been studying the knowledge of becoming a soul master.
Where does the knowledge come from?
Naturally, it is from the famous "Blind God King" in various fanfictions: Su Yuntao.
This person, every year, would come to the Holy Spirit Village.
It was easy to contact him, Tang San just found him and talked to him.
At first, Su Yuntao didn't want to pay attention, but when Tang San offered to help him chase girls, Su Yuntao stopped.
Then, the next year, Su Yuntao was very enthusiastic about Tang San and brought him the "Soul Encyclopedia" which introduced various soul beasts, as well as the elementary meditation method issued by the Spirit Hall.
After that, Tang San also proposed to go to the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City to read books, Su Yuntao saw Tang San's intelligence moved a little compassion and agreed.
Therefore, now Tang San and Su Yuntao can be said to be old acquaintances, so he wanted to ask Old Jack, whether Su Yuntao really came in the afternoon.
"Grandpa Jack, I'm leaving."
And after getting Old Jack's affirmation, Tang San waved to Old Jack and went to the hill near the village, where there was a forest, which was Tang San's firewood place.
Arriving at the familiar forest, looking at the blue silver grass everywhere on the ground, Tang San was used to it, but at this time, he sighed faintly, and muttered: "This is also one of the reasons why I started to study early. Those fanfictions are not credible. In this real world, hunting is not so easy. Without experience, you can hit prey, you can only rely on luck, and hunting itself requires luck, it's better to pick up firewood."
Hunting, theory and practice, are completely different things.
Anyway, Tang San didn't have that ability.
Besides, there is not even a mouse in this place, what can he hunt?
Although there are birds in the woods, they are very small, similar to sparrows, and there is no rubber or something, so they can't make slingshots, and they are not big.
As for making traps with baskets.
There is not enough rice at home, how can it be used to lure birds?
Too wasteful.
However, he once asked Old Jack why there were no large prey in the woods.
Then he was told that the location of the Holy Spirit Village was good, located at the junction of the two empires, and the merchants of the two countries often came and went, and the Holy Spirit Village had a large area of arable land, so it was more prosperous than other villages, and there would be no famine.
But then again, the so-called prosperity is only compared with other villages, and the people in the village can only eat a meat meal during the holidays.
Twenty years ago, there might have been rabbits and other common animals in the woods near the Holy Spirit Village, but now, they have been caught long ago.
In this way, naturally it is not his turn to cross.
There is a small stream near the Holy Spirit Village
.
But, Tang San has no fishing experience.
If it is not cheating, it is impossible to hook up with one rod, that is not a fishing rod, a fishing line, a hook, and an earthworm can catch fish.
It's better to pick up firewood in that time.
This is the only way for the poor to cash in immediately.
Two hours later, Tang San carried the firewood that was taller than him by a lot, wiped the sweat from his face, and went to the Holy Spirit Village, and first returned to the broken house.
Put the firewood in the small shed at the door, Tang San divided it evenly into two parts, one part was left at home, after all, the fire for ironing, living and cooking also needed to burn firewood.
The other part, later, had to be sent to Old Jack's house, which was the cost of the eggs, and Old Jack would give him two eggs later.
A bundle of firewood, for four eggs.
"Ha~"
Tang Hao lifted the curtain and walked out of the bedroom, yawning, and walked out of the house, ready to wash, and saw Tang San dividing the firewood, and asked: "Have you been to Old Jack's?"
"Um."
Tang San nodded, and then was silent, obviously not wanting to have too much communication with him.
Although compared with the original, this one in front of him cared more about him, but maybe it was because he only started to practice Xuantian Gong this year.
What Tang San wanted to see if he didn't practice Xuantian Gong, Will Tang Hao would be better to him?
How can you joke about your talent?
It's just that he inherited the memory related to the secret book from Wuxia Tang San, but he didn't get the relevant cultivation experience, that is, he didn't know where the meridians of the internal force operation were.
He didn't understand these, he dared to practice indiscriminately?
That's joking about his life, who knows if he makes a mistake in cultivation, he will die, and whether he can cross back to the real world.
After dividing the firewood, Tang San took out an egg from his pocket, put it next to Tang Hao who was washing his face, and then carried the firewood to Old Jack's house.
At least, Tang Hao raised him for a year or two when he was a baby.
Although it was just that year or two, he was in a half-dead half-flat state afterwards...
Tang Hao, who had washed his face, picked up the egg, didn't peel the shell, threw it into his mouth, chewed it three or five times, and swallowed it directly, eating very wildly...
...
He came back to Old Jack's house and put the firewood in the backyard.
"You kid, grandpa doesn't lack firewood." Old Jack pretended to be angry, "It's just a few eggs. Really, why are you so serious?"
"Grandpa Jack, this is what I should do, after all, I always eat yours for nothing, and other people in the village will gossip." Tang San smiled, took out another egg from his pocket, smashed it, peeled it, and ate it while saying, "And, I have to be self-reliant."
"If your dad had your idea, how could the family be so poor? That body, when you are free, go to Nuoding City to find a job, moving bricks can earn enough money for you to marry a wife." Old Jack sighed Tang San's sensibility, and complained about Tang Hao's fault, "I don't know what he is thinking in his head."
Tang San didn't comment on this.
Dong dong dong!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a man wearing a white suit, wearing a white cloak, and a blue badge on his left chest smiled at Tang San and Old Jack in the house: "Old village chief, I'm here."
This person is Su Yuntao.
Because of Tang San's sake, Su Yuntao's attitude towards Old Jack has become more respectful in recent years, which is a kind of respect for the old man, not awe of strength.
Perhaps in Su Yuntao's view, being able to raise such a smart child as Tang San is Old Jack's credit.
"Brother Tao, I haven't seen you for a while, I hope you are well."
Tang San quickly swallowed the egg in his mouth and greeted Su Yuntao, "Grandpa Jack said, you seem to be coming in the afternoon, did you come early?"
"According to the original schedule, I should come in the afternoon, but today I have a date with Sisi, so I set off at three in the morning." Su Yuntao explained, "And, you kid, you kid, after reading our Spirit Hall's collection, you haven't been there for a while, Master Ma Xiunuo has been nagging about you recently."
"Who made Sister Sisi spoil me so much? I would be embarrassed, and, aren't you afraid that Brother Tao will be jealous?" Tang San shyly said with a face.
Although Tang San at this time, the soul master did not awaken, the blue-silver emperor bloodline was even more distant, and his appearance was ordinary, but he couldn't stand his lively temper. Outgoing children are always likeable.
As for going to the Spirit Hall to read books... this is the real world, he must understand the soul beasts deeply, and he can't believe those fanfictions, otherwise he will pit himself, and there will be no place to cry.
If he really let those netizens analyze, Tang San felt that he would become more unreliable than Yu Xiaogang.
"Master Su, I have to trouble you this year." Old Jack bowed slightly and said to Su Yuntao, "The children of the right age, I have already asked their parents to take them to the center of the village in advance, shall we go now?"
"Okay, finish early, and you can date Sisi earlier." Su Yuntao also wanted to end quickly, although he was happy to see Tang San, but helping people awaken their soul, master, it is indeed a boring thing, not only to travel, but also to consume soul power.
He is just a great soul master, and his soul power is not much, and it is consumed quickly.
