Eight hundred years ago, a constellation of cosmic comets swept over the surface of the earth, penetrating the clouds of the atmosphere, leaving craters and extraterrestrial objects in the Gobi Desert and the Great Desert. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThese substances from other worlds in the vast universe are outside the surface of the elements and are not in the Three Realms, and no one knows whether they are blessings or curses. Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun couldn't understand this immeasurable calamity, so he came to meet the master, Hongjun Ancestor.

Hongjun Ancestor saw the beginning of chaos, learned the supreme avenue, and knew the matter at the beginning of the universe well. He incarnated Jun Dao for the Yuan Shi Tianzun: the substances belonging to the five elements can be dealt with and resolved by the principle of mutual reincarnation and restraint, which is the fate of the outside of the sky; When I was the second generation of ancestors, I specially ordered Nuwa to refine stones to make up for the sky, leaving behind a treasure furnace of Xuantie, which could refine all the metals in the universe. You can order your great disciple, the Antarctic Immortal, to use this furnace to refine stones and dissolve the material variables outside of Zhou Tian.

The Antarctic True Monarch then led the order to the Gobi Desert Desert, looking for meteorites outside the sky all the way, and melting the cosmic substances outside the Five Elements into the Xuantie Treasure Furnace all the way. This day came to the foot of the Big Rock Mountain Range, see the river convergence here, the heavenly canyon, full of vitality, all kinds of waste for the rejuvenation, refining stones in this place, I am afraid that the fire will hurt the ecological gods, and there are many stones outside the sky here, so the treasure is buried deep in the bottom of the deep pool, refining stones and gold.

Eight hundred years later, it was discovered that the mountain was rich in mineral materials, and a large number of engineering teams were stationed and endless mining began. Most of these teams were slaves and refugees hired by wealthy merchants, so the land was infested with horse thieves and goblins, so the mine owners were also protected by armies.

On this day, in the north of Dayan Mountain, Ouyang Xiao followed a team of miners to work in a mine in a karst cave. The group was full of refugees, the oldest in his sixties and the youngest being a nine-year-old child.

Ouyang Xiao held a bowl of gruel and a dry cake, and sat aside to rest, while the people next to him were scolding, "What kind of dry cake, it's harder than a stone." If I continue digging like this, I'd rather eat the ore than eat this dry cake!"

"That is, this gruel is not called gruel, but should be called gruel. If you don't see two grains of rice in a bowl of soup, can you still call it porridge? I'd rather fight with chickens and ducks for chaff. The others chimed in.

A little girl walked over, added a bowl of porridge to the uncle, walked up to Ouyang Xiao again, and said with a smile: "Hello uncle, do you need to add a bowl of porridge?"

Ouyang Xiao was sweating, and he didn't know if he was tired from work, or if the cave was too stuffy, so he said embarrassedly: "Little girl, I'm only seventeen years old." Brother, does he really look that old?"

The little girl was stunned for a while, and then immediately laughed: "I'm sorry big brother, I'm sorry." It's dimly lit here, I can't see your face clearly, haha!" In fact, she could see clearly that it was the years that had left too many vicissitudes on this brother's face, so that this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy looked really in his forties, as if there were many stories of suffering.

The little girl added a big bowl of gruel to Ouyang Xiao, put down the big wooden bucket on her back, and sat next to her to rest. "Big brother, you must have encountered a lot of things, why did you come here to serve?"

Ouyang Xiao slammed twice into his chest and swallowed the dry cake. "If you don't beat your chest when you eat this, you can't swallow it. How did you get here, little girl?"

The little girl smiled and said: "My parents are serving here, my father is mining in the mining team, and my mother is in the army to make fires and cook for the soldiers. Mom and Dad met here and gave birth to me. ”

"Oh, that's good. What an enviable family! And where is your father now?"

"He and his mom are gone. The little girl was still smiling and chatting, but she could see that her smile was a little reluctant.

"Dad, he was stuck in a cave collapsed in last year's mining disaster, and he never came out," the little girl said...... "Mom broke her hands by picking up stones to find him, and she couldn't cook anymore." Speaking of this, he began to choke, "Since then, my mother has been pulled by the military masters to do a thousand rides, comforting the military masters, ......"

At this point, Ouyang Xiao had already begun to tremble in shock, and he didn't know how to continue talking. Although his emotions were not out of control, they had already caused a lot of ripples in his calm heart. In all the hardships he has experienced, he never seems to feel that there is anyone more miserable and worse than his fate, so he has learned to deal with everything calmly. But this time, even he seemed to be starting to get sad.

"Then, which military department is my mother in now, and my brother will help you find your mother, okay?" Ouyang Xiao has always been submissive, swallowing his anger, and having no dignity seems to be the only magic weapon for him to survive. Such a sentence came out of his mouth, and it still seemed a little reluctant, after all, it was very difficult to change the survival habits to break the rules.

The little girl also saw it and helped him dispel his confusion, "Don't worry about my brother, my mother has passed away." The little girl smiled and comforted Ouyang Xiao, who was speechless. Survival can make people extremely weak like Ouyang Xiao, and it can also make people become extremely strong like this little girl.

"Mom, as the only woman in the army, was traded together to one of the strongest horse thieves in the neighborhood. The next day I saw my mother cut off her breasts, dried her blood, and laid naked on a sacrificial altar outside the mine, offering it to the goblins of the night. ”

When Ouyang Xiao heard this, he swallowed a mouthful of gruel, his heart was cold, and he couldn't listen anymore.

"Well, let's talk about something else!" the little girl took the initiative to divert the topic, "Brother, what's your name?"

"Laugh. Ouyang smiled. ”

"Oh, what a nice name. My name is Xiao Bei, Wei Chi Bei. The little girl said with a smile.

Ouyang smiled with a look of surprise and asked, "Few people use this name, and the single name has the word 'sadness', which your father gave you?"

"When I was a child, I always cried, and when I saw my father working hard, I was sad, and when I saw my mother cooking, and I was molested, I was also sad, and then the grandfather who brought me up called me Xiao Sadness, Little Sadness. ”

"Your father's surname is Wei Chi, he should be behind the gate, how can it be?" Ouyang smiled puzzled.

"I heard my mother say that she had committed a serious crime, and she reported that she was an important minister of the court, and she was sentenced to disobedience and exiled here. Xiao Bei said, "What is the origin of my brother's surname and first name?"

Ouyang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I don't seem to know at all, I just remember that my father is a blacksmith who calls himself an alchemist all day long. Mom laughed at him all day long, so she named me the word 'laugh', which seems to mean to make my son laugh at Lao Tzu, haha!"

Talking about this, Xiao Bei finally blossomed again, her smile was so innocent, making Ouyang Xiao believe that there are still beautiful and innocent things in this world.

That night, Ouyang Xiao began to sleep with the little girl in her arms. The sweltering heat of the mine was always surprisingly cold at night, and the humidity from the ground made the little girl's back rotten and unable to sleep on the ground. Ouyang Xiao hugged the little girl, she fell asleep peacefully in her arms, and Ouyang Xiao still looked at the torches at the entrance of the cave melancholy, imagining the bright moon in the sky, he didn't know how long he hadn't seen the bright moon in the night sky.

In the middle of the night, a team of officers came to the mine to inspect the mine, and they were responsible for checking the health of the operation team and making life and death changes for the operation team. They walked to Ouyang Xiao's couch, kicked Ouyang Xiao away, pulled the little girl up, stripped naked, and unfolded her back for the soldier commander to see. The soldier commander took a torch and approached to take a closer look, and said to the soldiers next to him, "What is she responsible for in this team's operation area?"

"I am responsible for cooking porridge and food management. A soldier replied.

"She had a sore on her back, so take her up and use good medicine. ”

So the team of soldiers took Xiao Bei to the ground, and Ouyang Xiao finally put his heart down. The rest of the soldiers picked him up again, stripped his pants and checked the front and back, and there was a foul smell.

The leader of the soldiers pinched his nose and asked, "What is he responsible for here?"

"Captain Hui is responsible for explosives blasting and probing, and the operation team next to him is responsible for transporting waste land, and the operation landfill team is on the right. ”

The soldier commander said, "Why is his skin so rough?" ”

"Back to the school captain, in order to save his father, he threw himself into the charcoal pond of the blacksmith shop. A little soldier whispered into the soldier's ear: "His father is the famous Ouyang Python Tiger, the most famous blacksmith in the world." Ouyang Python refused to build weapons for the army, and would rather burn his belongings by burning his own grave. His wife, like him, would rather die than give in, and both husband and wife threw themselves into the fire. In order to save his parents, this stupid boy rushed into the coal pond and was seriously injured. His father kicked him out, turned him into a burning man, laughed and said, "Stinky boy, the great world of Yama said that he won't accept you!" The boy's experience and deeds were widely spread throughout the mine, and many people praised him. ”

"Oh, is that really the case?" said the soldier commander, very moved, "give him medicine too! Take him to the top. ”

Finally, Ouyang Xiao saw the bright moon in the night sky again, although the crescent moon was very small and obscured by the black clouds in the night sky, Ouyang Xiao still felt that it was so bright, illuminating his world.

Ouyang Xiao was taken to a tent on the ground, where several soldiers from the medical team applied ointment to him. The cold ointment is applied to the back and warms the heart. It seemed to be the happiest day of his life, and he cherished such moments very much.

"You have half an hour to let off steam, it's rare to come up, go around and take a good breathe!" the captain said to Ouyang Xiao, "But don't go far, there are jackals, tigers and leopards around here." ”

Ouyang Xiao nodded and thanked him. He knew that in fact, there were jackals, tigers and leopards around here, and the real jackals, tigers and leopards were them and the nearby horse gang thieves, as well as the goblins who sometimes came out to catch people and eat. Ouyang Xiao walked quickly towards the highest mining platform, he wanted to find the closest place to the moon and experience the feeling of the moonlight shining on his body.

"Why can't this stinky boy even say thank you? Don't you think of me as his benefactor?" said the lieutenant to the soldiers next to him, who were all members of the medical team, and they all replied with a smile: "Those who have been down there for a long time are a little stupid and can't speak, so the commander doesn't have to care." ”

Ouyang Xiao came to the highest mining platform, overlooking the entire mining field, and he could also look up at the towering mine sub-peak next to him. A crescent moon hung in the black tent in the sky, hazy and vivid. Ouyang Xiao was ready to bathe in the warm breeze in the night sky, experience this moment of freedom, lean on the mine platform, and sleep well.

Suddenly, I saw that around the mine in the distance below, on a sacrificial platform, two warriors in heavy armor pulled a sleek little girl and pushed her into the Nine Dragons bathing pool next to it.

After the little girl had been washed, two soldiers carried her to the altar, and a miner babbled and sang with a rune. After drawing a few circles and burning three talismans, he took out a vermilion sword, cut open the girl's two wrists, and let her blood slowly collect into the treasure along the channel of the altar.

Ouyang Xiao saw it so clearly, he was so frightened that he trembled, and after a closer look, he recognized that the little girl was none other than Xiao Bei!

"What's the situation?" Ouyang Xiao thought to himself, and was about to rush down, but was stopped by the soldier commander who caught up, and shouted with a serious expression: "Your time is up, idler." It's time to go back down there. ”

"Captain?" Ouyang smiled and saw that he was the captain of the soldiers, and hurriedly asked, "Captain, what are you doing next?"

"It's already a great gift to you to bring you up, it gives you half an hour of freedom, it is for you to learn to be grateful in the moonlight, not for you to meddle in your affairs, you noisy bastard!" the lieutenant scolded viciously.

Ouyang Xiao didn't care so much, and continued to ask, "What are you going to do with Xiao Bei?"

The lieutenant sighed, closed his eyes, and finally said, "I'll just say it." Who do you think is protecting you all day long, so you can mine here and find treasures with peace of mind. Hard work comes at a price, and there are horse gangs and thieves that we can't afford to provoke, as well as goblins that often haunt the mines and caves, which are to be worshipped. This trick is what we learned from the gang of thieves, where the monsters gather, often come to catch people and take things, to escort everyone, we have to learn to sacrifice. Only in our mine there are women and children who donate, and as long as they are offered to the demons, they can keep us all safe. ”

When Ouyang Xiao heard this, he was so stunned that he couldn't speak anymore, and the whole person was stunned. He turned his head to look at the sacrificial platform on Xiao Bei's side, where the Taoist priest was still chanting, and two heavy soldiers were waiting beside the little girl. Ouyang Xiao came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he asked slowly, "Then a woman who was put on this stove before was cut off **, and you did it too?"

The lieutenant was taken aback, his expression stunned, "You, how did you know?"

"You guys are such bastards! Do you know she's the mother of this little girl? You brutes, you really don't let the whole family go!" Ouyang Xiao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"What do you want to do?" the lieutenant was sweating nervously, "We are also forced to be helpless, I advise you not to send you to death, the goblin will come in a while." ”

The soldier climbed on Ouyang Xiao's shoulder and wanted to pull him towards the mine, but Ouyang Xiao stood still, no matter how hard the captain tried, he just wouldn't go. "I, Ouyang Xiao, have been weak all my life and have no dignity. I can call you grandpa for food, and I can kneel for you for a moment of freedom. But this is the only thing, I really, I really can't let it go!"

As he was talking, tears spurted out with snot all over his face, and the liquid in his nasal cavity bubbled with the cry, Ouyang Xiao was completely unable to cry, crying like a man. He pinched the underside of the lieutenant and pulled it hard, and the lieutenant's eyes rolled up, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.

"You, you...... What do you want to do? Do you know you're disobeying the officer? This sin is to be killed!" said the lieutenant in fear.

"As the only woman in the army, have you also ridden on it, and trampled on it!?" Ouyang Xiao continued to cry, leaning over the captain's face with a painful expression, and asked with a face-to-face rhetoric. The lieutenant's legs were trembling, and a lot of cold sweat was oozing from his vest.

"It seems that you don't have to answer! Your two balls have already betrayed you! They have already told me all! Do you really think that you are a merciful soldier commander?" Ouyang Xiao let go of the captain's lower body, and an iron lump was stuffed into the crotch of his pants, and a lead was hanging on the outside of the crotch, which had already ignited......

Seeing this, the captain roared: "**** ancestors......!

Before the pig-killing cry was finished, the man had already rolled his eyes, vomited foam at the mouth, fell to the ground and convulsed, and completely fainted.

"Tut-tut, what a miserable situation!" I saw that after the lead was burned, there was no movement. Ouyang Xiao turned around and left, "The homemade explosives I finally collected are so precious, how can I be willing to give them to you as a funeral!

Ouyang Xiao immediately ran towards the gravel road of the mine, hoping to get to Xiao Bei's side as quickly as possible and kill the Daoist and the two heavy soldiers with explosives. When he arrived, the two soldiers and the man were gone, and Xiao Bei was seen lying naked on the altar, his body was cold, the corners of his mouth were bloody, but his smile was still bright.

Ouyang smiled and tears churned, and he was already speechless. He picked up Xiao Bei and hugged her into his arms. Feeling a black wind behind him, a humanoid crocodile wearing carved armor roared and rushed over with a big tail.
