On a high mountain, there is an old man sitting on the ground, with loose hair and stars in his eyes.

His eyes were like bright stars, looking like he was full of life, dressed in plain white robes, calmly, and muttered to himself:

"Old man Lu Wu, who has practiced for countless years, although he has already attained perfection, he has never been able to move forward.

And in the dark, I suddenly felt that the limit was approaching, and there seemed to be no life to exist, although there was no way to live forever, but it didn't hurt.

But there is still regret in my heart, I don't know the reason of this heaven and earth, and I can't find out where else is outside this world.

Although I didn't have the opportunity to live forever, I relied on my brilliant understanding to create my own technique today.

The idea of this technique had already been born in my heart, but even I didn't know what the consequences would be, so I never dared to use it lightly.

Today, there is no other way, and I have to give it a try. ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man's eyes were full of determination, and he raised his right hand to pinch the trick in the air.

"The way of heaven is vast, the path of immortals is insignificant, and now there are three thousand Dao seeds, scattering the heavens and the earth, cultivating them one by one, and melting my Dharma body.

Dividing the soul of heaven and earth to plant the Dao technique, the long years to the long spirit, the art of the Dao, up!"

I saw countless milky white lights emerge from his body, floating in the air, but in the next moment, they roared away, flying in all directions, dissipating between heaven and earth.

In a few breaths, this method has been completed.

The old man seemed to have been drained of all his energy, and he hung his hands weakly, and his whole body was stiff.

His face was wrinkled and furrowed, and his hair was gray, as if a gust of wind could blow him to ashes.

After a long time, he raised his head again, and his eyes were dull and empty.

"Heaven and earth here respect me, and today I am known as the world by my surname.

In the name of "land", it is self-generated.

In order to calculate the years of this technique in the future, in order to ensure the longevity of the aura in the world.

From this day on, the year of heaven and earth is called "Changling".

The deity will sleep for 100,000 years, and I will help me to achieve it with my longevity.

The day I wake up, it will be the time when I melt my soul and break through the boundary, and achieve the supreme avenue. ”

After saying this, he seemed to remember a helpless thing, and said to himself as if he were laughing at himself:

"Maybe I shouldn't have killed him back then.

I don't know that the road is my body, or maybe there is no road ahead.

My name: Lu Wu~"

The figure of the old man faded away with the mountain peak, and the breeze blew by, as if nothing had happened here.

The 36,000-year-old of Changling Era, the border of Chu State, Chenjia Village.

On this day, the scorching sun was in the sky and the sun was like fire.

Although Chen Laosan is fifty-six, he can't be idle at noon.

Dressed in coarse linen clothes, he ran around, called a few villagers to go down to the field together, and was sweating to hoe the fields.

A few people were in full swing, but suddenly heard the sound of gongs sounding from the official road in the distance.

He looked around, and saw a group of people coming from the west, with tall horses in front of them, and the people on horseback were all wearing red ribbons.

Carrying a red lantern to open the way, followed by a mighty group of people.

The lanterns are colorful, the gongs and drums are beaten, and it is not lively.

Chen Laosan and they took a look, and there was a red sedan chair in the middle of the team.

Immediately, someone rubbed his hands excitedly, opened his mouth and said:

"Hey, which big family is this married?

With so many people and such a big show, how much money does it cost?

The life of a big family is magnanimous. ”

The man said enviously.

Chen Laosan answered: "Maybe in the town next to this, someone has reached the year of marriage."

But this is really the first time that people have passed by in our village. ”

A few people chatted with each other, thinking about joining in the fun.

It's been a long time since the village has been so festive, and standing on the official road watching the group get closer and closer.

Halfway through the procession, they saw that the sky suddenly darkened and dark clouds were thick.

"Why is it changing so fast this day, it's going to rain, don't look at it, let's go quickly.

Go back and rest, it seems that the rain will not stop for a while and a half, and the darkness is scary. ”

Not only a few of them, but also the marriage team on the official road also found that the sky suddenly darkened.

Suddenly, a torrential downpour of rain fell from the sky.

It is like a thousand threads, vowing to stitch heaven and earth together.

There was chaos on the official road at this time, and I could only hear the boiling here.

People shouted and neighed, the wind and rain were fierce, and the thunder was gusting.

In a short time, it was completely dark, and the gloomy clouds obscured all the light, like a moonless night.

At this time, I saw a blue lightning flash in the sky, reflecting the people, as if their faces had turned blue.

"Mom~There's a ghost~" One person shouted in fright.

Lightning and thunder roared, and a loud rumbling sound pierced the heavens and the earth, and the torrential rain came very quickly.

The wet crowd was scared like headless flies, pushing and shoving and treading in the muddy water to find their way in the dark.

At this time, if you take a closer look at the change in the sky, you can see where is the cyan lightning.

It was clear that the clouds had turned cyan, as if they had been splashed with cyan dye, and lightning was pouring through the cyan clouds.

From time to time, it flashed out, and for a moment the light made it impossible to tell whether it was the cyan of clouds or lightning.

The wind was howling, the rain was pouring down, and a thunderstorm lasted for nearly half an hour.

The people on the official road have long since run away, and there is no trace of them, only a muddy place remains.

The torrential rain gradually dissipated, and I saw that above the sky, it was like a golden sword, piercing the clouds, dividing the black sky, and seeing the sun.

In about a cup of tea, the sky was clear, and a rainbow of rays hung between heaven and earth.

Although the fields are in a mess, the fragrance of the grass, trees and soil after the rain comes to the nose, which makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.

"Everyone is gone, forget it, don't go today, come back tomorrow when the weather is better.

What is the guts of these people? ”

Chen Laosan muttered and walked straight home.

As he walked through the woods to a clearing, he was horrified by the sight of his eyes.

I saw dozens of corpses lying in the open space in front of me, dripping with blood and flesh.

Puddles of blood flowed from puddles on the ground, and it looked as if I had seen the pitted pools of blood in the slaughterhouse.

In the middle of the pile of corpses, there was a spherical object wrapped in strips of red cloth.

Quietly resting there, because the distance was too far, Chen Laosan didn't know what it was.

Although he often says that others are timid, in fact, he himself is a little better than others.

But when an ordinary villager has seen such a bloody scene, how is he not afraid.

Immediately, his legs became weak, he couldn't move his feet, he trembled, and he endured his fear and did not faint.

He didn't last long and sat down on the ground all at once.

Panting heavily, cold sweat trickled, goosebumps all over his body.

After a while, he felt a little more relieved.

Barely standing up, he was about to take a detour home.

But suddenly a baby's cry came from the corpse, and his spirits, which he had managed to muster up, were almost frightened again.

He stretched out his hands and grasped the small branch next to him, supporting his body hard.

Close your eyes and let yourself stop paying attention to the cry and try to hide and go home.

But the baby seemed to have spirituality, as if he felt Chen Laosan's fear, and stopped crying at the moment.

Just let out a slight snort, and Chen Laosan came back to his soul.

Now he seemed to be bold, as if he was obsessed.

I felt that this little doll was very pitiful, and I thought that I and my wife had lost their son at an early age, and there was no one under their knees, so they wanted to take him back to raise him.

He shifted slowly and walked towards the baby wrapped in strips of red cloth.

As he passed by the corpses, he glanced at the wounds of the corpses.

They all had a piece of flesh bitten off their necks, and some of the blood seemed to be drained.

But judging by the size of the wound, it is not like a wild beast.

Seems...... It's like a child's bite, small and neat.

He stopped thinking about the dead man's questions, went to the baby, and looked at the child's face.

Suddenly, it was as if there was a force suppressing his extreme fear, and the whole person instantly calmed down.

The baby's face was also covered in blood, and the strip of cloth that wrapped around him was oozing red.

I can't tell if it's from the kid or if it's contaminated.

"If you don't live for a few days, you can't blame my poor family.

Just because the world is not good, the person who gave birth to you left you here, and he didn't care about life or death.

Today, you and I are destined, and I will take you home.

In the future, I will raise you. ”

The baby looked at him as if he had seen someone he liked very much, and his face was full of smiles.

He looked at Chen Laosan, his appearance was extremely cute.

Thirteen years later, the cold winter wax moon.

Dozens of men, women and children gathered at the head of Chenjia Village, as if they were saying goodbye.

They all gathered together in twos and threes, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

Some of them were young men, carrying ropes, dry food and iron tools on their backs, eager to try.

In recent years, although there has been a lot of food growth, there have been many grass-eating beasts in recent years.

They come out of nowhere, and they spoil crops.

Although it does not eat people, it is in good shape, extremely fast, and difficult to deal with.

As a result, the food is not enough to eat every year, so the people in the village go together.

went to the mountains not far away to hunt game and come back to eat, which is why there is this scene at the head of the village.

Chen Laosan was also preparing at home, originally at his age, he didn't have to follow the big team to go out and take risks.

Many people in the village persuaded him, after all, when he was old, he was not as sharp as a young man, and sometimes he would even become a burden to his feet.

"Madam, I'll go with them to the mountains today.

If you catch game, you can eat it again for a few days, you and Yun'er are waiting at home!"

Chen Laosan said while neatly sorting out dry food, hemp rope, and weapons.

"The third child, don't go, I heard them say that in recent years, there have been spirits in the mountains over there, and many people have gone and never come back.

It's very dangerous, you're old, it's better to do something else at home, don't go, be safe. ”

The answer was an old woman, also nearly seventy years old.

She is Chen Laosan's wife, named Xu Zhuer, the two had a child in their early years, but unfortunately died young, and never gave birth again.

But she has read books, and she has a strong personality, soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

So even though the family environment is not good and food and clothing are difficult, he has never cried and complained like other women.

When all the women became women, they tied up their hair, but she cut it herself.

The people in the village were puzzled, and even scolded her behind her back for being unfilial.

She also ignored her neighbors' opinions, but claimed that it was convenient for her to work.

Chen Laosan also let her, and the relationship between the two was much better than that of other people's families.

"Grandpa, it's freezing today, I'll pour you a glass of wine, warm up, and go out again!"

The child who spoke was called Qingyun, and Chen Laosan picked him up from the pile of dead people at the beginning.

Now he is twelve or thirteen years old, with a simple appearance, but he is very clever and intelligent, mature and sensible, and he is deeply liked by the two old people.

When he saw that his grandfather did not agree to the request, he knew that persuasion could not be met, so he took out a small jar of home-brewed wine from the house.

opened the mud seal, poured a bowl, looked at Chen Laosan and said:

"Grandpa, you only drink one bowl this time.

The rest of the wine, when you come back from hunting game, burn it and eat it together. ”

"Okay! Listen to our Xiaoyun, wait for us to come back, and then we will eat soju together." ”

Chen Laosan drank a bowl of wine and reached out to touch Qingyun's hair.

His eyes were full of love, and then he quipped:

"Drink Yun'er's bowl of wine,

It's full of courage and majesty.

Don't hesitate to go to the cold mountains,

Just for the winter food to come home.

Haha......"

Half an hour later, the team was finished, and the elderly and children were seen off at the head of the village.

Watching their group each take their baggage and farm tools, they set off singing mountain songs.

Xu Zhu was also in the crowd with Qingyun in hand, watching them drift away into the distance.

Until she disappeared, she turned her head to look at Qingyun and whispered:

"Xiaoyun, go home. ”

"Hmm. ”
