Tian Yuan Continent, West Continent, East.

Towering mountains, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, towering over the vast earth.

Stretching for tens of thousands of miles, there are three major sects of immortal cultivation, which are in charge of tens of thousands of miles and tens of thousands of villages.

Gujia Village, a village of thousands of people, is surrounded by rows of stone houses in a dense jungle, surrounded by huge boulders like castles.

In front of a stone house, an old man with white eyebrows in a gray robe, standing under a big tree, looking into the distance, hearing the roar of the beasts nearby, his emaciated face appeared a little sad, and he whispered to himself: "During this time, the beasts in the mountains have been roaring, and I want to come to the frontier to start a war with the demon clan again!"

"Patriarch, it's only been more than ten years since the last time the demon clan attacked the human race, why is there another war?"

A thin old man, walking past the gray-clothed and white-eyed old man, couldn't help but ask with a worried expression when he heard the words.

Before the gray-clothed and white-eyed old man could answer, as soon as the thin old man's voice fell, bursts of black fog suddenly floated into the originally clear sky, covering the sun like smoke after a fire.

"Rumbling ......"

A heart-shattering drum beat came from the black fog from far and near, startling the beasts around them, and they fled in panic.

"The drums of war are beating. ”

When the white-eyed old man heard the sound of the drum, he was dressed in gray clothes and had no wind, and he exclaimed, but his exclamation did not fall, and an old voice, accompanied by the sound of the drum, resounded for hundreds of miles.

"The wolf smoke rose, the war drums sounded, the human race obeyed the order, and each village sent out three hundred men above the middle stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, sixteen to fifty years old, gathered in the Sunset Sect three days later, and went to the frontier to resist the invasion of the demon clan. ”

The old man's voice, accompanied by the sound of drums, echoed in the air over and over again, shaking people's hearts and making every village within a radius of a hundred miles swell with depression and sorrow.

In the mountain behind Gujia Village, in a quiet valley, a young man with a ** upper body sat by the fire, with a pair of big snowy eyes, staring at the golden hare roasted in his hand, and his lips involuntarily chirped a few times.

Suddenly, bursts of black smoke floated from the sky, and an old voice sounded along with the sound of drums.

"The Sunset Sect has recruited people to go to the frontier, I want to go to the frontier, I want to leave here and see the outside world. ”

Throwing away the fragrant hare in his hand, the boy hurried out of the valley and rushed home.

"Gujia Village obeys orders!"

After being in a trance for a while, the white-eyed old man calmed down and said to the sky with his fists in his fists.

At the same time, within a radius of a hundred miles, the patriarchs of the various villages under the jurisdiction of the Sunset Sect all looked solemn and replied to the sky with their fists clenched.

The old man's voice and drums, after receiving the replies of the village chiefs, as the black fog gradually dissipated, Gujia Village, a strong man, ** upper body, hugged his fist at the white-eyed old man, and looked at him without words.

"Gu Man, let the villagers disperse, what is there to talk about tomorrow. ”

The white-eyed old man looked at the trembling clansmen, and then looked at the strong man who stopped calling the ancient barbarians, waved his hand, and let everyone disperse with a solemn expression.

In the west of Gujia Village, in the courtyard of three stone houses, a middle-aged man showed a trace of sorrow between his two sword eyebrows.

"Brother Ming, what are you worried about, you were conscripted to the frontier more than ten years ago, so this time you recruited people to the frontier, and you couldn't recruit our family, what are you worried about?"

In the courtyard, a woman who was weaving cloth saw the middle-aged man walking around in the courtyard with a restless attitude, and the beautiful melon seeds shouted at the strong man with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

The Tian Yuan Continent is divided into five continents, the West Continent is millions of miles wide, mainly mountains and jungles, and is the territory of the demon race, while the human race does not have much living space in the West Continent, only tens of thousands of miles.

Every few decades, the demon clan will attack the human race on a large scale, and catch the human race back to be a pet in captivity, so in order to survive, the human race in Xizhou basically cultivates.

Every time the demon clan attacks the territory of the human race, the three major sects of the Xizhou human race will go to the villages under their respective jurisdiction to recruit people to resist the demon clan, each village according to the number of people, each family will take turns to send one person to two people to participate in the war, if the family that has been conquered last time, then there is no need to be on the levy, and when all the families in the village have been recruited, it will be the turn of the family that has been recruited.

"What do women and Taoist people know, every time they go to the battlefield, it is nine deaths and one life, no matter who they are recruited, it is not good, I am saying, this attack of the demon clan and the last attack are only more than ten years apart, I am afraid that this time the war will be more tragic than before. ”

Hearing his wife's words, the middle-aged man couldn't help but scold his wife with a heavy heart, and the woman saw that her husband's face was gloomy, and she didn't say much, and continued to weave her cloth.

Seeing that his wife was not talking, the middle-aged man stood in the courtyard, looking into the distance, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he fought with the demon clan in the frontier, and suddenly a stream of blood boiled in his body.

But thinking that he is now your husband and adult father, the boiling blood in his body can't help but gradually calm down.

"Abba, Grandma, I'm going to the frontier. ”

Just when the middle-aged man was looking at the sky in a daze, an excited voice came into the hospital, so that the middle-aged man in a daze instantly came back to his senses and looked outside the hospital.

At this time, I saw a sweaty teenager outside the courtyard, running towards the courtyard excitedly, shouting excitedly.

"What are you talking nonsense about, this time to recruit people to the frontier, and there is nothing to do with our family. ”

When the boy ran into the courtyard, the woman scolded with a bad face.

"Grandma, the demon clan has captured the human race, as a son of the human race, don't come forward at this time, wait for when. ”

When the boy heard his mother's reprimand, he straightened his waist and replied with a handsome face.

"Okay, it's worthy of my son, Abba supports you, and a good man should be ambitious in all directions and have the world in mind. ”

The middle-aged man on the side, hearing his son's bold words, the blood that had gradually calmed down boiled up.

"No, you're still young, I don't agree. ”

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, the woman put down her work and objected with a strong expression.

"Grandma......"

The boy was still debating, but he saw his father secretly giving him a look, and when he saw the situation, the boy knew it in his heart, and suddenly stopped abruptly, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

"Ancient ......"

As soon as the boy walked out of his yard, a simple voice came from the side, and the young man looked sideways at a big tree next to him, only to see a young man of the same age as himself, chubby body, hiding under the big tree, fleshy face, eyes narrowed into a line to call himself.

"What's wrong, fatty?"

The young man's name is Gu Feng, and when he saw the young man hiding under the big tree, he was calling himself, so he couldn't help but walk over and ask.

"Gu Feng, do you really want to go to the frontier to fight?"

The boy hiding under the tree is called Gu Cheng, because he is fat, the people in the village call him fat, at this time, seeing Gu Feng coming over, he narrowed his eyes into a line, and tried to open his eyes Gu Feng and asked.

"Fatty, the demon clan has always bullied our human race, if we don't come forward, then who will defend our homeland. ”

The fat man's heart rippled when he was overturned by Gu Feng's words, and he couldn't wait to follow him to the frontier to fight with the demon clan, but then he thought of his cultivation, and his heart was like a deflated balloon, and he drooped his head and said: "Gu Feng, listen to your words, I also want to participate in the war, but my cultivation is only in the early stage of gathering qi, and I am not qualified to participate." ”

"Who told you not to work hard to cultivate in normal times, but to cultivate well in the future, if we die on the battlefield, you will be on top. ”

At this time, Gu Feng's heart was full of pride, since he was a child, he listened to his father talk about the outside world and the demon clan, and he never had the opportunity to go out, but at this moment he saw that he had the opportunity to go to the outside world, and he didn't know the dangerous nature, so he had already flown outside.

"Gu Feng, you are the first genius in our village, and there are a few people who can compare with you. ”

When the fat man heard Gu Feng's words, he pursed his lips and said with some jealousy in his heart.

"Not only do I have to go to the frontier to participate in the war, but I also want to join the Sunset Sect, and in the future, I will kill demons and demons to ensure the peace of Gujia Village. ”

Anyone who goes to the frontier to participate in the war, as long as he can come back alive, there will be a quota to join the sect under his jurisdiction, Gu Feng ignored the jealousy in the fat man's eyes, and continued to say proudly.

As an ancient style who was a genius on the first day in the village, his cultivation was already in the late stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, far surpassing his peers, which also made him very arrogant in his heart.

At sunset, the sky gradually became dark, a bright moon hung high, and in a stone room, a bright lamp emitted a faint light, shining in the stone room.

"Xiuyun, I know that you are reluctant to venture to the frontier, but when the child grows up, you should let him go out and break through. ”

In the stone room, a middle-aged man hugged a woman in his arms and said in a soft tone.

"Brother Ming, I know your thoughts, but Feng'er is only seventeen years old this year, you have also been to the frontier to participate in the war, you know where the danger is, so let him go to the frontier to participate in the war so early, I really don't worry!"

The woman looked beautiful and moving in the faint light, and in the man's arms, the reddish melon seed face showed a worried look.

At this time, his father Gu Ming saw that his mother Wang Xiuyun was still worried, and couldn't help but kiss the beautiful face of his wife in his arms, and continued to say softly: "Feng'er is a good jade, it needs to be constantly tempered to become a weapon, his qualifications are better than others, and his cultivation far exceeds that of his peers, if he doesn't temper the arrogance in his heart as soon as possible, let him know that there are mountains outside the mountain, it will be a waste of his qualifications." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xiuyun hesitated for a while, looked up at her husband and asked, "Brother Ming, aren't you afraid that Feng'er will have any accidents on the battlefield?"

Hearing his wife's words, Gu Ming was silent for a while and said: "Life and death are fate, if Feng'er can break through the cruel trial, then he will soar into the sky, if he can't break through, it is also his life!"

Gu Ming's words made the stone room a little depressed, and after being silent for a long time, Wang Xiuyun looked at her husband and asked, "Brother Ming, do you still want Feng'er to join the Sunset Sect?"

His wife's words reminded Gu Ming of the past, his wife Wang Xiuyun is a native of Wangjiazhuang near Gujia Village, and the two have been childhood sweethearts since they were children, and they are secretly determined for life.

More than ten years ago, the night when the twenty-year-old Gu Ming was going to go to the frontier to participate in the war, the two met by the small river, secretly ate the forbidden fruit, and three years later, when Gu Ming came back alive from the same village, he learned that he had a two-year-old son, and decisively gave up the opportunity to enter the Sunset Sect and accompanied his wife and children to live in the village peacefully.

"At the beginning, I was reluctant to let you and the child go, so I gave up the opportunity to enter the sect, so I hope that Feng'er can enter the Sunset Sect, and in the future, I can also let Gujia Village get more resources, so that the cultivation of the people in the village can be improved. ”

Thinking of the difficulty of living in this land and the clansmen who lost their lives on the battlefield because they had no resources and could not improve their cultivation, Gu Ming was sad in his heart.

Wang Xiuyun felt the grief in her husband's heart, but she couldn't help her husband, and her heart was full of sorrow.

"Brother Ming, you are in charge of Feng'er's affairs!"

The nature of the mother, on the one hand, hopes that her son can become a weapon in the future, and on the other hand, she is reluctant and worried, after saying this, Wang Xiuyun has burst into tears.
