The sun shines in all directions.

In the Yuxi Palace in the center of the sun, on the Sumeru seat, there is a three-legged golden crow, he is the sun god Xihe.

Since the Great War of the Ancients, he has been seriously wounded, so he has separated into several clones, wandering in the void, and his body sleeping in the sun. Now, however, a hint of uneasiness had once again awakened him from his slumber.

This feeling of uneasiness is both familiar and unfamiliar, and can only be felt when fighting with chaos and the occult.

It's called -

Death!

Reluctantly, Xihe walked down from the Sumeru seat and flew to the side of the railing, observing the various gods scattered throughout the heavenly realm, as well as the countless creatures in the lower realm.

From Jin Wutian to Gou Chentian, from Mingshen to Unknown God, from Tianli Tiantian to Pangu Tian's goblins, he finally searched for the source of his uneasiness.

The snow-capped, thousand-year-old Kunlun Mountains are towering above the clouds, standing in the far north of Pangu Tiandongshengshenzhou.

At the foot of the mountain, the snow flowing from the mountain moistens the endless forests, birds, animals and swimming fish, and gradually merges into the common source of the four great rivers of Dongsheng Shenzhou, Chishui.

A one-zhang high white stone lies quietly by the Chishui River, and with the sunlight, fine cracks gradually appear.

With an explosion, the white stone cracked and shattered into a pile of dust, and a crisp baby cry came out of the white dust.

In the white dust, a croaking baby appeared!

"It's the third time. ”

Xihe retracted his thoughts and sighed uncontrollably.

The favorite place for his doppelganger to travel is Pangutian, where mortals and goblins live. There are two reasons, mortals were not created by Xuan Ming, but evolved naturally, and Xi He has an inexplicable affinity for this creature.

And the more important reason is that the primordial god of Xuan Ming is sealed here!

A god who looked like an elderly mortal came to Xihe's side and said respectfully, "You noticed his presence?"

Xihe sighed and said weakly, "Yes, he appeared again." ”

"Once he appears, my divine power will be weakened by one point. Now, I can't even search the periphery of the Golden Crow. ”

"Taixu, are you really going to abandon me?"

Xihe's sad sigh was like an interrogation of the universe, and it was like talking to himself, he lowered his head, turned around and flew back to the Sumeru seat, and fell asleep again.

Seeing this, the old man cautiously asked, "What do you want to do with this mortal born from the stone?"

Xihe opened his eyes and said decadently: "Kill? Every time he appears, he is destroyed by you, and his divine form is destroyed, but he is still reborn again and again, and my divine power is gradually weakening." ”

"Maybe it's too empty to identify with my avenue anymore. ”

The old man stood there respectfully, silent with a sad face.

Xi He sat cross-legged on the Sumeru seat, buried his head in his wings, and said stupidly: "This time, let's deal with him according to your ideas." Perhaps, we should all accept our fate. ”

"I have accepted my fate, it is you who have not given up. The old man said calmly.

"Yes, from the moment you decide to give up eternal life, you have chosen the fate of mortality. Xi He looked at the old man with pity. "But I can't, I've witnessed the death of too many gods, and I still can't face it calmly. ”

"Go ahead, go deal with that kid, according to your method. ”

The old man silently agreed, and respectfully withdrew from the Jade Seal Palace.

The vast Kunlun Mountain, the rolling Chishui River.

The baby who had just been born from the white stone was crying hard, revealing its existence to the East to the Divine Prefecture, to the Pangu Heaven, and to the Void Universe.

The old man descended to the baby's side, with an indescribable expression on his face, staring blankly at this little lump of meat that was changing his fate little by little, and he was at a loss for a moment.

"I didn't expect that this time, you would be born as a mortal. ”

The little baby, instinctively, stretched out his little hand to the old man and cried helplessly.

When the old man saw this, he finally made up his mind, went to the baby, picked him up, and walked towards the river.

With a slight wave of the old man's right hand, several clumps of pine branches were automatically broken off the tree by an invisible force, and piled up into a pile, which spontaneously combusted without fire.

Then a stream of water floated from the river and floated on top of the fire, and in a few moments the current became warm. He reached out and tested the temperature of the water, and then he was relieved to put the baby in the water and bathe him.

The old man was a little flustered, obviously not taking care of the child. But he is still meticulous and washes the baby's little body.

Seeing the baby look comfortable in the water, the old man was also happy. The dirt on the baby's body was washed away, and he stopped crying, and fell into a half-asleep state.

The old man was kind and kind, and said kindly: "Xihe asked me to deal with you according to my own ideas, and I have no other ideas, I just want to take you as an apprentice." ”

"Do you know what it means to take in disciples? That is what I mean by teaching you the skills and leading you to grow up. ”

The baby could not open his eyes yet, and when he heard the sound, he just turned his head curiously to the old man and babbled.

"Since the moment you first appeared three thousand years ago, Xihe's fate has been sealed. ”

"And your fate, I want you to decide for yourself, whether you want to complete your own path, or spend your life as a mortal, it depends on your chance. ”

The old man looked at the baby with a smile, wiped the water off the baby's body with his wide clothes, controlled the river water with his right hand to extinguish the fire, and held the baby in the air, flying against the wind.

"I am in Pangutian, walking in the name of Misida. The old man looked at the baby in his arms and said.

"I'll give you a name, you were born from stone, so take stone as your surname. ”

"You are a creation derived from Taixu, and there should be a meta character in your name. I hope you have a smooth and carefree life, which corresponds to an auspicious word, which is called Shi Yuanji. ”

Mi Sida smiled kindly and flew towards the eastern wind of Kunlun Mountain.

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, the Chishui River flows southward, and a tributary separates from a plain, which is called Yushui by the locals.

Yushui hit a vast black soil plain, rich in products, developed transportation, and gradually formed a town, called Haitang Town.

The vast plain has nurtured a population of more than 20,000 in Haitang Town, making it one of the few large towns within a radius of several hundred miles.

Outside Haitang Town, in the upper reaches of Yushui, there is a mountain called Yushan, this mountain is waterfalls, lush forests and bamboos, and the end is a good scenery. There is a temple on this mountain, which enshrines the sun god Xihe, and the name is the Golden Crow Temple, which is the dojo of Misida.

In the middle of the view, a little boy in a gray robe, with a hurried expression, holding a pocket embroidered with a three-legged golden crow in his hand, ran to the kitchen as if flying.

"Yuanji, slow down, don't fall. The gray-haired Misida was baking flatbread in the kitchen, and when he saw the little boy's hurried look, he scolded softly.

Shi Yuanji came to the kitchen with a smile and said to Mi Sida, "Master, the human seed bag has been brought." As he spoke, he presented the pocket embroidered with the three-legged golden crow in his hand.

Mi Sida pointed to the thick flatbread stacked on the edge of the iron pot and said, "Put all those flatbreads in it, and we will have to stay in the mountains for three or four days." ”

Shi Yuanji looked at the golden and oily flatbread, and put the flatbread into the seed bag with his small hands.

This human seed bag was small and exquisite, about the size of Shi Yuanji's palm, but it contained more than thirty flatbreads. After Shi Yuanji did all this, he patted the seed bag, only to see that the bag was deflated, as if it was empty.

Mi Sida extinguished the fire, took the seed bag, opened it and looked at it, and said, "Books, wine, bedding, tableware, paper and pencils...... Very good, bring it all, let's go. ”

The master and apprentice wore bast shoes, gray robes, and a human seed bag and a wine gourd around their waists, closed the mountain gate and rushed down the mountain.

Shi Yuanji followed behind Mi Sida with brisk steps, and asked suspiciously, "Master, where are we going?"

"Go into the mountains and show you a ...... Alone. Mishida replied. "But before that, go to Niu Er first and ask him to help take care of the house. ”

At the foot of the mountain, there is a small village called Xiaoyu Village. In a farmer's house in the village, a sturdy man was repairing a hoe, and he was Niu Er.

When Niu Er saw the master and apprentice, he greeted him with a smile: "Lord Miguan, go out?"

Mi Sida said with a smile: "Go out for a few days, I bother you to help take care of the house, the key is in the old place." As he spoke, he took out ten copper coins and handed them to the ox.

"You're too polite, just a gesture. Niu Er waved his hand and refused: "Our family, thanks to your help, otherwise we would have become a corpse." ”

"My family rents your land, and you don't collect much rent, so it's a trivial matter to show you a home. ”

"Great grace is like a great hatred, Niu Er, you want to remember my hatred. Misida said with a smile.

"Look at what you said, it has tormented the villain. Seeing that Mi Sida still refused to withdraw his hand, Niu Er had no choice but to take two copper coins. "Then I'll take these, you see. ”

"That's right. ”

Mi Sida nodded with satisfaction, and under the admiring gaze of the villagers of Xiaoyu Village, he flew with Shi Yuanji against the wind and flew towards Kunlun Mountain.
