After listening to the vivid descriptions of the defeated soldiers, the peace-loving tribesmen were frightened, and the son of the mountain god saw this, and then recalled that all the way to the east, the road was far away, many tribesmen lacked food and clothing, and the sick and injured lacked treatment, and it was difficult to continue to advance, so he ordered to stop the eastward advance, and the tribesmen stopped in place, and took in this group of defeated soldiers, and everyone occupied a fertile pasture, and lived by raising sheep.

After the days settled down, everyone felt that they were not the heirs of the authentic tribe, so they no longer used the name of the Queen Mother of the West, and turned to raising sheep - Qiang.

After spending two years in the Qiang tribe, the son of the mountain god passed the position of patriarch to others and left on his own for the far east.

He went all the way, through the desert, into the Qin State, along the Wei River across the Guanzong, the defenders of Hangu Pass did not take a second look at him, they let him out of the pass, the son of the mountain god did not stay longer, did not linger for the wealth of the Central Plains, turned south, crossed the Huai River, and entered the Chu State.

The dusty young man came to the capital of the Chu king and walked in the bustling crowd queuing up to enter the city.

In the early morning, the sun has not yet appeared in the east, and every leaf tip of the roadside weeds is hung with dewdrops, which hide the night air, and the gray-black city walls and pheasant moats faintly reveal their tall silhouettes in the mist.

The young man slowly moved with the people queuing up to enter the city, and gradually approached the city gate, and looked around, only to see a wanted notice hanging at the city gate, and a loud palace man stood below, explaining the content of the wanted notice to the illiterate Chinese, which stated that the king of Chu offered a reward for a young man with broad eyebrows, but anyone who could provide clues or offer a human head would be rewarded with a thousand gold and crowned king.

The son of the mountain god looked at the wanted notice drawn on the silk cloth, which was painted like an abstract portrait, everyone looked like it, no one looked like it, he shook his head slightly, and entered the city silently.

The son of the mountain god inquired casually in the city and learned that the king of Chu would go out on patrol in three days, so he found a place to hide and waited quietly.

Three days later, the king of Chu went out on patrol, and the people of the royal capital who had already received the news gathered one after another and flocked to the direction of the palace, and people crowded densely on both sides of the avenue, just to see the royal family.

Suddenly, the people in front of them all knelt down one after another, and in the distance there were two horses running side by side, and then there were warriors with wooden sticks, ge, knives, bows, crossbows, and banners, and the yellow dust was rolling all over the road, and a four-horse cart came, and a group of people sat on it, beating bells and drums, so it was not lively.

Then there was a group of knights with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, all dressed in armor, and the horse's hooves were trampling, this was the attendants of the king of Chu, and the chariot that appeared on behalf of the king arrived immediately, and the inner eunuch who walked in front raised the dust, and shouted in a sharp and high voice, and the kneeling people all fell down when they heard this.

The son of the mountain god stood behind a straw mat by the side of the road, and he saw a big chariot with a yellow cover speeding up, and in the middle sat a fat man in painted clothes, with a white beard, a big head, and a strange ugly face, but a sword hilt was exposed on his back, which seemed out of place with the gorgeous clothing, and the others were accustomed to it, and they did not find it strange.

At this moment, a man lying on the side of the road suddenly stood up, stretched out one hand to the hilt of the sword exposed at his waist, and was about to rush forward, the son of the mountain god smiled, and stepped forward, pressing down his body that had not yet stood upright, and holding him down, so that he could not move, and only when the cavalry walked over with the yellow cover cart and the crowd began to disperse, he pulled his men away.

"What are you doing?"

The son of the mountain god grinned, "I'm here to help you." ”

"Help me, then you should have let me rush up instead of holding me back, what the hell are you trying to do?"

The person in front of him looked only a teenager, stunted, and looked very thin, but his eyebrows were very broad, and his voice was full of anger, and his eyes were not good, as if he wanted to vent his anger on the son of the mountain god at any time.

The son of the mountain god continued to look like an indifferent hanger, and smiled, "Don't be stupid, just by your appearance, you can't even pass the outermost foot soldiers, and you still want to kill the king of Chu?"

This sentence successfully angered the young man, he snorted, grabbed the hilt of the sword and wanted to pull it out, the son of the mountain god moved faster than him, shot with an afterimage, pressed on his right hand, the young man felt that his right hand was like being clamped by pliers, and he couldn't move at all, but he didn't give up, raised his foot, and the whole person pounced on him, unfolded a punch, and kicked indiscriminately.

The son of the mountain god let go, flipped his wrist, and buckled the young man's vein, and the young man's vein was restrained, half of his body lost his strength, and he fell limp and collapsed, and was dragged to a secluded place by the son of the mountain god.

"I have a very strong temper, and I didn't answer my question before I did it, but unfortunately I didn't know what I could do, and I still wanted to kill the King of Chu?"

The young man snorted, ignored the ridicule of the son of the mountain god, stopped talking, turned around and left, but was pulled by the son of the mountain god, "Don't go, I can guess if you don't say it, are you called the ruler between the eyebrows?"

The young man's face showed horror, "You, how do you know?"

"Since I know that you want to kill the King of Chu to take revenge, I naturally know your name. ”

"So you want to take me and claim the reward?"

The arm between the eyebrows was slightly raised, and he was about to draw his sword again.

The son of the mountain god turned a blind eye to this, and he turned around, bent his legs and kicked against the wall, looking indifferent, "Where did this sword come from?"

The boy was still vigilant, "Why are you asking this?"

The son of the mountain god stared at him sideways, "I can help you get revenge!"

"Just you?"

The son of the mountain god smiled slightly, "Do you hear that?

The young man was stunned for a moment, not knowing what this person like a big brother in front of him was talking nonsense, and a female voice suddenly screamed in front of him, and the scream stopped in the middle of the day, as if he had been cut off by a knife.

Heavy objects fell to the ground and chickens barked.

The young man's face changed, and he turned around to escape, but was grabbed by the son of the mountain god, "You can't run away." ”

A group of swordsmen, wearing tunic robes, appeared at the entrance of the alley, and the young man seemed to hear the whisper of the person in his ear, "Do you have to rely on the natives of the earth to protect yourself?"

The boy was still chewing on what the earth meant, and the people around him had already moved.

The weather is gradually cooling, and the edamame leaves that stretch to the edge of the fence have shown their withered yellow color, white wild chrysanthemums, clumps of heads from the grass, and small yellow flowers trembling in the cool autumn wind, and the blood flowers in the sky splash the foreground into a brilliant red, like the sunset on the horizon is broken and sprinkled in front of you.

A group of swordsmen who chased and killed him didn't even resist under the son of the mountain god, and they all died, and the young man only saw him snatch a sword and kill into the crowd.

The boy let the son of the mountain god take him out of the city, "My life is yours, what do you want to do?"

The two entered a dense forest outside the city, it was autumn at this time, and the autumn scenery was very beautiful, the sky was particularly high, especially blue, and very clear; There were a few feather-like clouds, particularly white and soft.

The overlapping late autumn mountain forests, the red oak forests, the purple urin, the yellow poplars, the green pine forests, and the white silver pine forests are like colorful clouds hanging down from the sky, and like gold velvet studded with precious stones, shining and shining, and strange and colorful.

A winding village path cut the yellow-green plain in half, stretching towards the manor village in the distance.

In the farmland on both sides of the road, there is a scene of early autumn, some of the early crops are about to ripen, exuding an intoxicating aroma, and some of the late crops are growing late, and the green ones are still growing vigorously! On the cliff slope on the side of the road, all kinds of wild flowers are blooming, yellow, white, purple, red, clusters, patches, accompanied by green grass, spraying fragrance.

For the pair of flower butterflies, attracted by these flowers, flying in circles, dancing, grasshoppers, jumping or flying, sometimes landing on people's bodies, the children who ran out of the village giggling, trying to catch it, it flew away again.

This sight seemed to remind the boy of something, and he stood there dumbfounded, no longer speaking, and the son of the mountain god took a step back and leaned against the trunk of the tree, "I want to know about your past, about your parents. ”

The boy was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on the mysterious man in front of him, his deep eyes full of complicated feelings, and finally his lips moved, and he began to tell the story he had heard not long ago.

"I'm called the Ruler Between the Eyebrows. ”

The boy said that he lived with his mother in a far away mountain since he was a child, and tried to avoid people wearing official clothes, and life in the mountains was very hard, and he had to do all kinds of work since he was sensible, cutting wood, picking wild fruits, laying traps, and picking mushrooms...... It's also hard to fall asleep after a tiring day, because there will be uninvited guests to disturb you at night.

As soon as the ruler between the eyebrows fell asleep, the mouse came out to bite the lid of the pot, which made him annoyed to hear, and he smacked softly, which at first had some effect, and then he simply ignored him, and he did not dare to rush loudly, for fear of waking up his mother, who was tired during the day and fell asleep at night.

It seemed that after a long time, the owl outside stopped crying, the mouse calmed down, and the boy breathed a sigh of relief, and he also wanted to sleep.

Suddenly, there was a thud, and he opened his eyes again, and at the same time he heard a rustling sound, the sound of claws grasping at the earthen vessel.

"Good! damn it!" he thought, very happy as he sat up gently.

The ruler between the eyebrows stepped out of bed, walked behind the door by the moonlight, touched the fire driller, lit the pine, and shone into the water urn, and suddenly showed joy.

Under the light of the fire, sure enough, a very large mouse landed there, and there was water in the water urn, but there was not much water left, and the mouse could not climb out, but only along the inner wall of the water urn, grasping, scratching, and turning in circles, trying to climb out.

"Well deserved!"

When he thought of biting furniture every night, it was the one who made him unable to sleep peacefully, and he felt very happy in his heart, and his sleepiness disappeared.

He stuck Songming in the small hole in the earthen wall, half-crouched beside the water urn, and watched with interest as the mouse struggled in the water, and the mouse tried his best to float and sink in the water, but the small round eyes kept staring at the ruler between his eyebrows, which made him feel a surge of anger and hatred in his heart, and he reached out and pulled out a reed wood, put it against the mouse's head, and pressed it straight to the bottom of the water.

A few blisters erupted on the surface of the water, and a happy feeling rose in his eyebrows, and after a while, he let go, and the mouse also floated up, still holding on to the wall of the urn and turning in circles, but the grip was no longer as strong as before, and his eyes were also submerged in the water, revealing a little pointed red nose, and gasping for breath rapidly.

This pitiful look made the ruler between his eyebrows suddenly soften, and he suddenly felt pitiful again, so he used the reed wood again, stretched it out to its belly, and the mouse left its limbs to grab the reed wood, and after a rest, he climbed up along the reed.
