V1.Chapter 64

Cang Xu nodded slightly and remained silent for a while, as if considering his words.

Then, in a bleak tone, he said, "my name is Cang Xu. I was born in a farmer's home and was originally the son of a farmer."

"When I was five or six years old, I began to work. My main job is to clean up horse dung. We have a short legged horse in our family, which is mainly used to pull plows."

"Once when I was cleaning up horse dung, the nag suddenly became angry and kicked me with its hind hoof. I fell down in the dung and nearly suffocated. Although I was saved by luck, such a close contact with death filled my young heart with fear, which I couldn't let go for a long time."

"I became very timid, afraid of any kind of horse, even things similar in shape. I didn't even dare to get close to the stable. My parents arranged other work for me, and I was also timid. If there was any trouble, I would hide."

"Such me is naturally laughed at and alienated by my playmates and disgusted by my parents. Everyone in the village is not optimistic about my future."

"After a long time, I learned that my fear might not be fear of horses, but fear of life itself like farmers."

"Shame makes me lonely, and loneliness makes me think. The gift of fate is bitter before sweet, which makes me afraid that I will live a lifetime as a farmer."

"Luck has come. When I was eight years old, I saw the dawn of fate. A priest of horse God sect came to our village and wanted to build a church. There was no church in the village, and the whole village hoped to have a priest to treat when they were sick. Therefore, the villagers organized a horse God Church spontaneously, and the priest of free status built a horse God church. Among all the volunteers, I was the most hardworking one. I tried my best to please the priest , desperately showing faith in the horse God and trying to win the favor of the priest. "

"The priest hopes that children of my age will gather more than a dozen children, including me, to teach us arithmetic, writing and other knowledge after a day's work."

"Spring has passed and autumn has come. When the church was successfully built, a message was announced among the priests."

"He wants to select several volunteers to become fellow workers. He even wants to recruit two children to become trainee priests."

"No one is stupid, and the villagers flock to it. The status of clergy is much higher than that of farmers. Families with school-age children are almost crazy."

"I really want to become a trainee priest. I know this may be the only chance to change my fate in my life. For this reason, I can even spare my life!"

"The competition is very fierce."

"With my hard work and previous hard work, I stayed for the final selection. There were four people in total, but only two trainee priests were recruited. The other three people were all rich families in the village, and one of them was the village head. In order to increase hope, they used their own power and wealth to bully my family, force my parents, and let me admit defeat."

"My home was so crowded that it was almost impossible to survive, and it became a torment every day. My parents persuaded me, but of course I refused, and I almost broke with them."

"I went to the final examination with the attitude of becoming benevolent if I didn't succeed. However, I failed."

"The shadow of childhood still envelops my heart. I fear horses. For the horse God, I have only fear, but no respect."

"I can't believe in him, even if I try my best."

"The priest of the horse God is wise, wise and ruthless. Although I knelt on the ground and begged him, he still eliminated me."

"I was so frustrated that I felt that the whole life was dim and irrelevant. That evening, I walked in the street in a daze, surrounded by villagers' mockery of me. I didn't know how to get home, and I couldn't eat any food at all."

"For a period of time after that, my father beat and scolded me, and my mother scolded me for being too selfish. Although my family is a free people, because my father had a serious illness, resulting in poor family conditions, I had to farm other people's farmland and then pay rent because of my father's serious illness. In fact, this is no different from serfs. However, because of me, no villagers rent the surplus land to us."

"In order to punish me, my parents gave me a heavy workload. Every day, I slept on the haystack with my body almost falling apart."

"Punishment and failure didn't make me admit defeat, and ridicule and exclusion didn't make me despair. I became more and more unwilling, and this unwillingness gradually turned into a kind of resentment. Although I was depressed for many days, I soon cheered up. The best way I tried was to review what I learned from the priest."

"I only have time at night. During the day, I have to get up early. If I can't finish the work my parents told me, I won't even have a piece of black bread."

"Although I am very tired every day, I never give up studying at night. I memorize the things the priest taught me and engrave them deeply in my heart. Until now, I remember every piece of knowledge very clearly. I cherish them and love them, just like cherishing the hope of my life. They are my resistance to my own destiny!"

"One night, the horse God priest quietly came to the haystack and woke me up."

"I was surprised and happy, thinking that there was a turn for the better. I immediately knelt on the ground and swore loudly to the priest that I would try my best to believe in the horse God and eliminate all the fears in my heart."

"But the horse God priest shook his head and said: the horse God did not insist on faith. The reason why he found me was that he found my life state and had secretly observed it for a period of time. I worked hard and was full of desire for knowledge, which moved him."

"Pastor Ma Shen gave me a new choice. If I were his slave, he would teach me the knowledge I want. As for the future, it all depends on my own efforts."

"I persuaded my parents to sell myself."

"Of course, it's mainly pastor Ma Shen who spent a lot of money to buy me."

"The priest didn't deceive me, and even treated me much better than I thought. He even kept the deal secret and let me serve as a servant in the church. I served the priest's daily life with my heart and soul, and he also taught me valuable knowledge. I knew more about arithmetic, literature, astronomy and geography."

"Among all the gains, I think the most precious is the horse God priest's curiosity about knowledge and hard-working attitude. This attitude has affected my life."

At this point, cangxu paused. The long narration made him a little out of breath.

Cang Xu continued, "the competition of belief is sometimes more intense than war. Horse God originated in the wild continent and is the God of ORC belief. On Shengming continent, his influence is too small. Therefore, when the life sect spreads, horse God's belief immediately wavers and quickly collapses, without any competitive power."

"Pastor Ma Shen was forced away. Before he left, he released me from slavery and announced that I was free again. Moreover, he suggested that I continue to study."

"I went to Yinqiao college and took part in the examination. Pastor Ma Shen's professor gave me a solid academic foundation, so I successfully passed the examination and became a very poor student in the college. Three years later, I graduated from the college and became a scholar."

"I taught in Yinqiao College for three years. After that, relying on the contacts of the college, I became the steward of a little aristocrat."

"Later, I transferred many nobles to hold small positions in territory management."

"I'm not an aristocrat, nor a servant trained by aristocrats since childhood. More importantly, I don't have the ability to practice. These reasons have made me despised and excluded repeatedly, and my position has never been high."

"After five years like this, there is an opportunity in front of me."

"There was a riot in a village, and the tax collector was killed. The manager in charge of Taxation lied to the upper and lower levels, and was afraid of being discovered by the Lord, so he offered a heavy reward to those who could successfully levy taxes."

"I knew the villagers of that village well, so I thought this was an opportunity and volunteered."

"I was hung up and beaten, locked up in a cell and tortured constantly."

"Just when they were going to kill me, ask me if I had any last words."

"I laughed loudly, just shook my head and didn't speak."

"This confused the villagers."

"I told them that I was their friend and had never been hostile. I came to save them. If they were obedient and paid taxes, the steward would treat everything as if it had never happened. If they were unwilling, then knights would come to destroy them."

"The villagers were afraid and knew that the whole village could never resist the Knights. But after paying taxes, they would collect all their grain reserves, and they would starve to death."

"I pretended to tell them that the steward had secretly reduced taxes. After paying them, the villagers would still have grain reserves and survive. But as a condition, the villagers need to keep it strictly confidential, otherwise other villages and towns will follow suit."

"After discussing with the villagers, they agreed. I secretly filled in the missing tax and resumed my life."

"In this way, I got the favor of the manager and was finally promoted."

"I was in an important position, and at first no one thought highly of me. They thought I was powerless, just a simple scholar, and an assassination could end my life. But in fact, I worked in this position for more than 30 years."

"The position I am in gives me an opportunity to perform. My knowledge allows me to show my value, and the Lords are gradually impressed with me."

"In this process, I never give up the pursuit of knowledge. It is precisely because I continue to acquire new knowledge that my value becomes greater and greater."

"Although pastor Ma Shen left me very early, his spirit of pursuing knowledge has been integrated with my blood."

"I thought I would serve the LORD until I die, but fate has arranged a new path for me."

"As time goes by, I am getting older and older, which makes many people see opportunities. At the same time, I pursue knowledge more than the love of power, try to avoid factional fights within the Lord, and also make the authorities dissatisfied."

"They instigated a young man."

"His name is Lan Tu, who daydreams of becoming a knight all day. He is my most trusted deputy. The Lord's third lady seduced him with love, and finally made the young man decide to betray."

"He denounced me, claiming that I was a dangerous criminal who had been hidden for many years, and had always harboured evil intentions and hidden conspiracies against the territory and the Lord's family."

"In order to save my life, I had to flee. The young man successfully accepted my position and was recruited by the third lady."

"The act of absconding from guilt undoubtedly confirmed the young people's allegations. At the beginning of the escape, I was very sad and angry, addicted to all kinds of negative emotions and couldn't extricate myself."

"After a long time, I finally figured it out."

"It is fate that gives me a new way."

"I asked myself, how should I spend the rest of my life when I am so old and have little time? Finally, I decided to pursue what I really want, that is knowledge. Of all the knowledge, I am most interested in biology. I want to achieve something academically, and I want to finish a book and try my best to explain the mystery of life."

"Soon, a wanted notice about me spread. I'm not surprised. I serve the Lord's family, occupy an important position, and know many secrets. The Lord's family will not let me go easily."

"I can't continue to stay in Shengming continent, so I can only go to the orc continent by boat. It happens that the wilderness continent has many unique ecosystems, which will be very helpful for me to complete my academic works."

"Lord Zhen Jin, I'm an old guy with a wanted notice. If you want to recruit me, you will undoubtedly be an enemy of the Miansha family. That's why I rejected your solicitation before."

"The reason why I have mastered the taming method of the explosive hoof horse is that most of the technology comes from the horse God priest. I spent more than 30 years experimenting with the rest."

"This is my story."

"It's wonderful." Needle gold admired.

Cang Xu smiled: "thank you for your praise. It's my lifelong honor to be listened to by you. Half of my academic works have been completed, and they are hidden in my mind, but at the same time, I also secretly hide a copy in the territory of Miansha."

"This half of the book is hidden in a cell in the ruins of a village. That's where I was tortured. It's in a brick under iron shackles."

"My last wish is - if I die here, please give half of my works to LAN tu. of course, adults can read and collect them. If they can also be used by you, it is also my great honor."

Zhen Jin frowned and felt puzzled.

"Lan Tu?" Zidi didn't know when she woke up. "If I heard right, Lan Tu is the young man who framed you?"

"Yes, miss Zidi, you heard me right."

Cang Xu's face showed a complex expression, desolate, sad, with a trace of pain and hope.

He then said, "because this young man is my son."
