Chapter 1 Origin
A piece of Huze, surrounded by countless small springs flowing, soft grass and flowers, birds and insects, full of harmony, a young man stood by the lake, he raised his hand and flicked his fingers, the surface of the lake rippled, splashed a drop of water, and flew into the sky.

"Dry spirit, help it to enlightenment. ”
Thirteen rays of light followed the drop of water through the darkness to a new world, which was collapsing, and the thirteen rays of light were sucked and scattered, and the drop fell to the ground.
Its appearance caused the remaining world to shatter at an accelerated rate, but it didn't take long for the entire world to stop crumbling completely, and only one of the thirteen lights remained in this world, and the rest disappeared into the darkness of the endless universe.
On the edge of the desert in the Western Regions, there is a small village called Luoxian, the origin of the name is no longer remembered, except for this small village, there are no people within a radius of 100 miles.
Behind an ordinary stone house in the village, there stood two people, one big and one small, the younger one was a child, who looked to be four or five years old, and the older one was a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest.
"People are born with two souls and seven souls, but three souls and seven souls are complete, and seeking immortality is actually looking for the third soul. ”
"Boy, do you understand?"
"Hahahaha, of course you don't understand, and a few more people do. The child looked dazed, and the man didn't look at the child.
The child blinked, only to find that the middle-aged man was gone.
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the child is already fifteen years old.
"It's over, it's over, what should I do, it's really a mouthful. Xiaochen lingered in front of the dark entrance, his expression uncertain.
To his left was the way back, brightly lit, and to his right was the entrance to the second level, which was dark.
"Admit it, don't joke with your life. Xiao Er immediately opened his mouth to propose.
"Don't cowardice, pretend to be forced out, splash out of the water. Xiao San immediately objected.
"Heaven to the left, let's go. Xiao Er didn't give up, and walked to Xiaochen's side with a solemn expression.
"The warrior to the right, can't be cowardly. Xiao San continued to disagree with Xiao Er.
Xiaochen shook his head, "At this point, there is no other way but to use the last treasure." ”
After saying that, Xiaochen took out a delicate small bag from his arms, his expression was solemn, his movements were careful, looking at the bag in his hand, he showed a hesitant expression on his face, for a long time, Xiaochen closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes opened suddenly, and he reached out and took out a copper plate from the bag.
"Go in the head, go in the back. Xiaochen gritted his teeth and spit out a few words, holding the copper plate tightly in his hand.
Xiao Er slapped the door in the face, "Death will not change." ”
When he saw this scene, Xiao Er had completely given up the hope of going back, he and Xiaochen had known each other for more than ten years, but all the problems that needed to be solved by throwing copper plates finally became unsolvable problems.
Sighed secretly, seeing Xiao San's expectant eyes, although it was not an expectation of him, he admitted that he lost again, and he could not go back, so he had to go down.
Xiaochen is the eldest brother of Xiao Er and Xiao San, the three of them are good friends, Xiao San likes Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen doesn't like Xiao San, Xiao Er likes Xiao San, but he never said it, and he never let others know, Xiao Er is willing to risk his life to come because he knows that Xiao San will definitely come.
The copper plate was thrown up by Xiaochen, and looking at the copper plate in the air, Xiao Er couldn't help but think of yesterday.
In a vacant lot in Luoxian Village, a group of children were coaxing around, I don't know why it was noisy, but I heard a boy's voice spread far away.
"When the time comes, I'll take the second and third children down. ”
When he heard this, Xiao Er's face changed dramatically, "Big brother, this can't be pretended." ”
"It's okay, the eldest brother just cares, and the younger sister supports you. Xiao San's reaction was completely different from Xiao Er, "Wait, Xiao Er, what did he say, 'Bring Xiao Er and Xiao San' together? ”
Xiao Er looked at Xiao San, who was full of red hearts next to him, and Xiaochen, who was carried away in the crowd, and felt that the whole world was a little darker, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by a burst of laughter.
"Okay, that's what you said, whoever doesn't go will be a grandson in the future. ”
The crowd dispersed and left, leaving only Xiaochen, Xiao Er and Xiao San.
"I didn't say I was going ******!" Xiao Er roared in his heart, but he didn't say a word.
"Tomorrow is the day of sand mining, and it is our first sand mining, so let's go home and get ready, and we will go directly to the second layer when the time comes." Xiaochen walked to the side of the junior and said with a smile, and patted the junior who was still sluggish.
Xiao Er wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Xiaochen blankly, and didn't speak faintly until Xiaochen left, "I...... I don't want to go. ”
The village is not big, Xiaochen soon disappeared from the field of vision of the two, and at this time Xiao San finally returned to normal, "Xiao Er get ready, tomorrow my sister will take you on an adventure, don't be too excited, sleep well." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao San also staggered home.
In the early morning of the next day, the entrance of the village was full of men and women, this kind of scene in Luoxian Village, at most once a month, will only appear once, but compared with the past, there are a few more guys, and once a month, there is also a storm.
The storm appeared at most once a month, and the gold sand was brought with it as scheduled, and the ancestors of Luoxian Village have been like this for generations, and there has never been a mistake, which is also the reason why Luoxian Village can still exist in the desolate desert where they cannot be planted or grazing, and it is also the reason why they have never thought of leaving here.
The village chief walked to the front of the crowd, "It's not early, we have to leave quickly, it's too late, this sandstorm doesn't recognize people." ”
The villagers had arrived, and at this moment the village chief had no opinion, and they all moved, and embarked on a road that only the villagers knew, to go to a place that only the villagers knew, and to do something that anyone could do.
After about half an hour, the villagers came to a huge mound, although it was not full of yellow sand, but it was also bare, without a trace of life at all, this huge mound was the destination of their trip.
Beneath the mound, to be exact.
"Needless to say, let's do it quickly, finish it early and go back early. The village chief shouted and led the people down from a huge hole in the mound.
Seeing that the village chief had gone in first, the rest of the villagers also followed him and walked underground together, and a group of young men walked at the rear.
This was the first time they had participated in the village's sand mining activities, because the ancestors had a saying that they could not enter the place under the age of fifteen.
No one knows why, no one dares to disobey it, because those who have tried it have stayed in it forever.
Villagers are not surprised by this kind of weather, and it happens almost every month at the same time, and when it happens, it also means that the huge mound called the Golden Sand Tomb by the villagers will overflow with gold sand.
This kind of gold sand is actually not real gold, the value is not as good as real gold, it is a good addition to make jewelry, the villagers take the gold sand to the town every month to sell, and then exchange it for the necessities of life, and plant some windproof and sandproof plants around the village, no need to plant grazing, and life is not bad.
The life of Luoxian Village has been like this for generations, and the gold sand under this golden sand grave has been collected for countless years, but it is still every month and has never been broken.
No one in the village knew how the gold sand came from, perhaps it was so old that even their ancestors had forgotten it, or it was so mysterious that even their ancestors didn't know why, but they told them as they do now to their descendants, and they could survive by doing so.
Although these red gold sand are lovely, they are not a priceless thing, and the financial income from collecting gold sand every month is at best enough for the villagers of Luoxian Village to live a normal life without working every day, and it is precisely because of this that no one has cared about them for so many years, and they can live a stable life.
"A bumper harvest, this time everyone has picked more gold sand than last month, which is great, you can eat a few more meals of meat." It was a strong man standing next to the village chief who spoke.
"Yes, yes, at first we were worried about whether we would empty this golden sand grave one day, but it seems that we were really worried. The village chief was also happy on the side, and the gold sand he mined this time was 60% more than last month.
The village chief touched his beard and smiled, he walked in front, "Don't be busy and be happy first, go back and talk about it, I see that this cloud is so dark, don't plant it." ”
Everyone understands what the village chief means, and they all take the gold sand they have harvested to the village, because of the special geographical location, there is never sand accumulation near Luoxian Village, and the storm often passes by here with sand and dust, and the houses can withstand strong winds, no matter how big the storm has not destroyed Luoxian Village, the villagers firmly believe that as long as they return to the village, no matter how unusual this storm is, they will not be in any danger.
"Wait, village chief, there aren't enough of them. Everyone was about to walk back when a strong man spoke.
Hearing this, the village chief turned his head and glanced at the crowd, and soon found that Xiaochen, Xiao Er, and Xiao San were missing.
"You go to them, the others go quickly. "The wind is blowing strongly, and the sandstorm is coming, and the village chief doesn't dare to let the villagers stay longer, but he can't just ignore a few children and let the big man who speaks stay.
Underneath the mound is a large space, which seems to be a mine, and the huge torches on the walls illuminate the whole space as if it were daylight, and the gold sand appears on the first floor, and there is a long passage in a corner of the first floor, and you can see an entrance through it, which is the entrance to the second floor.
And just as children under the age of fifteen could not enter here, the same clear warning, no one could enter the second layer, the same people tried, and the same never returned.
And at this moment, Xiaochen and a few people happened to be in front of this entrance, and the copper plate had been thrown up by Xiaochen, and when it fell, it was the time when he made a decision, and maybe it was also the time to decide life and death, but no one knew what the result was.
"Ding"
The copper plate falls to the ground.
The copper plate rotating on the ground became slower and slower, and within two breaths, the result was clear.
