Chapter 1 The Book of Things
The Haohan universe is full of countless stars, and various galaxies exude brilliant colors, competing with each other, reflecting the continent below mysteriously and beautifully. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the middle of a village in the southernmost part of the mainland, a relatively large house stands quietly. I don't know what kind of stone is made of the outer wall, which is connected in a ring shape to form a circular house, and the roof is covered with golden straw, which looks antique and has a primitive tribal flavor.
A young man of about twenty years old was sitting cross-legged in the room, a pencil in his hand fluttering, and various patterns were drawn in his notebook. As his hands rise and fall, the various buildings, people, animals, and plants in the pattern turn into entities and continue to manifest and derive around them, and finally burst into shining points of light, and then return to nothingness.
"What is your origin, and why did you bring me here?" the young man looked puzzled, observing the pencil and book in his hand.
The young man's name is Lin Xiao, born in a scholarly family, with bronzed skin, a firm nose bridge and charming and deep eyes, two sword eyebrows slightly curved, adding a bit of arrogance to the handsome face, the corners of the mouth are always slightly curved, always giving people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling, and countless girls have fallen for it.
As for why it's here, it all started a day ago!
Lin Xiao is a soldier of a combat base in country Z, although he was born in a scholarly family, he chose the profession of a soldier, and in addition to training and tasks all day long, he went to the library of the base.
On this day, Lin Xiao was wandering around the library, and inexplicably walked into a space full of vicissitudes and gloom. Rows of decaying wooden bookshelves, cobwebs and dust, and yellowed strips of cloth hung in the air, giving a sense of loneliness and desolation.
"Hey~!What kind of place is this?How come no one has ever heard of it?" Lin Xiao looked at the scene in front of him and took a deep breath.
"Is there anyone?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Rao is Lin Xiao had to be cautious no matter how bold he was.
Seeing that no one answered, Lin Xiao walked around, his hard military boots stepping on the wooden floor, making a creaking sound.
"Huh?" When Lin Xiao walked to the corner of a bookshelf, the scene in front of him became empty, a bookstand more than one meter high was isolated in the center, and a book was lying quietly on the desk.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao walked over, brushed the dust off the skin of the book, and observed it carefully.
This is an unfinished painting, purple and gold throughout, and the finished pages seem to be suppressed by a mysterious force, and they cannot be opened, as if they record secrets that cannot be revealed, and there are only two words in the whole book, "the past".
After careful observation, Lin Xiao found that there was still a black pencil in the spine of the book, which was engraved with two large gilt characters: "Future".
Suddenly, the book was filled with golden light, and a line of handwriting appeared abruptly on the blank page.
"There is a lot in the book, there must be a wonder where the brushstrokes are, and those who get this thing are fateful, and if you want to get it, leave a word to take it!"
"Qiankun? What can be in the book? I guess it's a trick of a charlatan!" Lin Xiao pursed his lips, then waved his pen and signed his name.
"Whew!"
As Lin Xiao's last stroke fell, a whirlwind blew on the flat ground in the entire space, and the rotten bookshelves were blown to pieces, and dust was everywhere, making people blurry and unable to see anything clearly.
"Boom!"
A muffled thunder sounded, smashing into Lin Xiao's chest like a heavy hammer, shaking him into a coma in an instant, and strangely disappeared from the spot.
......
In the middle of summer, the cicadas chirp and the thin wisps of sunlight pour down through the gaps in the branches and leaves, giving the shade to the people under the trees.
This is a village called Pothos, the village has a small population, but it is a vast area, surrounded by the sea in the east and the sea in the south, and two high mountains in the north, like a natural barrier, separating the outside world from the village. A large road runs straight through the middle of the mountain, which is the only way to keep the village from the outside world.
At the southern end of the village, there is a wooden altar with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside, two meters high and five meters in diameter. Hundreds of people stood in front of the altar, led by an old man, holding a sacrificial ceremony, praying for the protection of the gods and the blessing of the village from war and banditry.
"Almighty God, I beg you to bless the village, bless the people, and bless the prosperity of the pothos!" the old man was Arnold, the head of the pothos village, who was holding a bone staff in both hands and praying with devotion on his face.
Hundreds of villagers behind him all performed three bows and nine bows, prostrate on the ground, with great awe, praying to the gods in their hearts with the highest etiquette.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a scream accompanied by the sound of objects falling to the ground sounded, and a puff of smoke rose from the altar, and a young man in strange clothes was lying on the altar on all fours.
"Damn!
This is Lin Xiao, who was swept here by the whirlwind, who was rubbing his aching body at this time, looking at everything in front of him.
"Well, where is this?" Lin Xiao sat up and looked at the people and things in front of him, only to see that not only the people here were dressed differently, but also the customs of people and land, the buildings and vegetation, etc., were completely different from the earth.
"It's... This, won't it, cross!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this kind of bloody bridge that only exists in online novels will also appear on him. I really don't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Forget it, if you come, you will be safe. Thinking of this, Lin Xiao "rubbed" and stood up, and walked quickly to the village chief.
His sudden move startled the village chief and a group of people, after all, Lin Xiao's way of coming was too different, and everyone looked at him with vigilant eyes.
As if noticing the strangeness of everyone, Lin Xiao hurriedly bowed lightly to the village chief.
"I'm a hunter and I was caught by a giant eagle while hunting. After a struggle, he broke free from the talons of the giant eagle and fell here. Can I live here first?" Lin Xiao looked at the village chief who was still stunned, knowing that the way he had arrived was a bit shocking, so he casually made up a pretense.
"Hey!" Seeing that the village chief did not react, Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and shook the village chief.
"Oh... Ahh
"Warrior! You are a warrior from God to my clan! Our village is saved! Save us!" With that, the village chief knelt down suddenly, bowed down and bowed, making Lin Xiao at a loss for a moment.
After some conversation, Lin Xiao probably figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
The world where Luluo Village is located is called the Green Mang Continent, there is no unified country, there is no unified law, the weak eat the strong on the continent, tens of thousands of large and small forces, according to the number of population, resource reserves, and the intensity of force, are divided into villages, villages, forts, ministries, states, and cities. It is like a warlord occupying different areas, and violence, bloodshed, killings and wars are staged on a daily basis.
At first, although the continent was chaotic, it was limited to the strength strength of all races and would not cause much damage. But somehow, since hundreds of years ago, the metal aura of the continent has been extremely strong, affecting the reproduction and evolution of the continent races from generation to generation, and some humans and beasts are born with metal genes or abilities, which makes them grow rapidly and become stronger day by day.
As human beings continue to grow in strength, their ambitions are becoming greater and greater. For a time, the mainland was full of heroes, and the ups and downs of forces were rising, declining, and changing, and the common people on the mainland were in dire straits.
And Luluo Village is a small village with weak force and scarce population and resources.
Originally, although the villagers of Luluo were ordinary, they were also blessed with a unique geographical location, far away from war and strife, so they did not have to worry about survival.
But who would have thought that just a few days ago, a village named Wuyan took root near the pothos and sent strong people to harass it several times. Its village chief, the black bear, is so powerful that he has raised a mutated giant eagle, which hovers above the village from time to time, threatening the safety of the villagers at all times.
Therefore, when the village chief heard that Lin Xiao could fight the giant eagle, he was extremely excited, and then Lin Xiao was arranged to the best house in the village, and he continued to worship every day, hoping to get Lin Xiao's help at a critical moment.
"Alas, bragging is also dead!" Lin Xiao sighed secretly while observing the book and pencil, he originally wanted to make up a reason, but who would have thought that there was really a giant eagle. Now the cowhide is blowing up, and if you don't do it, you have to put your life into it.
Just thinking about it, Lin Xiao slowly fell asleep.
However, just as he was asleep, the pencil in his hand shimmered faintly, and it rose from the air, drawing a hexagonal pattern on the book. A ray of golden light shot out from the pattern and connected to Lin Xiao's forehead, like a golden channel, constantly injecting something into his mind.
In her sleep, Lin Xiao seemed to be in a white space, surrounded by nothing, and the whole space was quiet and terrifying, as if the senses were deprived, which made people extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and a crisp and pleasant voice sounded, which lifted Lin Xiao's spirit.
"Hello, Lin Xiao, don't be afraid, this is my spiritual world, right in your mind. You can call me Catherine, I brought you into this world. A soft voice sounded, as if meeting a friend you like, and the voice was extremely close and soft.
"You mean, you brought me the book, but why?" Lin Xiao slowly let go of the uneasiness in his heart and asked with doubt.
"I don't mean anything, it's just my instinct to bring you here, and I don't know why I'm doing it! I've been in this book for as long as I can remember, and I've been in a mess, but since I met you, I know my calling. Catherine whispered, a sense of excitement and a hint of loneliness in her voice.
"Catherine, can you come out? Let me see you. Hearing Catherine's voice, Lin Xiao felt like she had found her relatives in another world, after all, she was from the same earth as herself.
"I'm sorry! I can't let you see me, I'm just a soul, no body! Actually, I envy you, I know what I look like, and I can move freely. Catherine's voice looked a little sad, which made Lin Xiao feel very uncomfortable.
“.........”
"Well, all right, I have brought you here, so I want to give you some gifts!" Catherine changed her voice, and her tone became agile and cheerful again.
As Catherine's words fell, four fruits of different colors appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Xiao, emitting four kinds of light, red, blue, green, and yellow, and they were suspended in front of Lin Xiao's eyes.
"What is this?" Lin Xiao stared at the four strangely shaped fruits in front of him, feeling that his body was about to move, and there was an indescribable longing.
"This is my gift to you, called the Four-Colored Fruit. It can greatly improve your strength, agility, physique, and wisdom, transform and sublimate your body genes, and make your foundation and cultivation speed far beyond ordinary people. ”
From Catherine's words, Lin Xiao could feel the extraordinariness of the four-colored fruit, no wonder when the fruit first appeared, he had a feeling of extreme longing. That's the smell of the fruit, which resonates and quivers from the body's cells.
"It's really a good thing!" After speaking, Lin Xiao directly reached out and grabbed it all and stuffed it all into his mouth.
"Ahh......h
