The bottom of a long and narrow valley with strange rocks, the howl of the biting cold wind, like a wronged ice demon crying to the heavens, disturbed people's minds, and the aura of fear gradually spread. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is the ancestral land of Tangjia Village and nearby villages, located in a hidden location in the northeast corner of the mountainside of Baektu Mountain, and ordinary people will not even notice that there is such a strange narrow valley bottom on Baektu Mountain.

Dongfang Xiaoshu followed behind Tang Shouren, slowly following the footprints he had walked by, without saying a word.

When Tang Shouren stopped and took a deep breath, Dongfang Xiaoshu also stopped, squinting at the world at the bottom of the valley covered with ice and snow.

"Old man Tang, have you arrived?"

Dongfang Xiaoshu asked seemingly unintentionally.

"It's here, but I still have to wait for a few people, they can't get there, and they can't enter the ancestral land!"

Tang Shouren replied in an elder-like tone.

"Is there anyone else but me?"

Dongfang Xiaoshu asked without any scheming, and at the same time rubbed his two hands against each other, blowing air with his mouth from time to time to keep warm, and his feet kept kicking back and forth to soothe his numb feet.

"Remember, take what you have to take, do what you have to do, and don't ask for anything else! You don't want to think about how much it cost me to save you from Li Tianlai's father and son! ”

Tang Shouren reached out and untied an animal skin pouch from his waist, took out a piece of dried meat and put it in his mouth, and said coldly at the same time, his tone was full of the smell of cold wind.

"Come on, Tangjia Village is bewitched by you, and my Dongfang Xiaoshu is an exception!"

"When I promised fifty taels of silver, that one was heartbreaking, but when I gave it to me, I was actually smiling, I must have made a lot of money, you old fox!"

"I'm fighting for my life, it's good for you, touch your upper and lower lips, and the silver is in hand!"

When Dongfang Xiaoshu said heartbreakingly, he almost fell down with an exaggerated stumble under his feet, and replied with a salty and indifferent mouth, without a trace of appreciation at all.

Dongfang Xiaoshu opened the animal skin pocket around his waist with both hands, like unbuttoning a girl's clothes, both gentle and slow. Taking out a piece of fragrant meatloaf and putting it in his mouth, Dongfang Xiaoshu let out a happy moan, looking very enjoyable.

Dongfang Xiaoshu's series of actions finally aroused Tang Shouren's extreme disdain, and he couldn't help but ridicule in his heart: "It's a completely authentic turtle, I haven't seen the world's idiots and wild seeds, hmph, how can the old man's silver be so easy to take, just the first dowry!" ”

At this time, Dongfang Xiaoshu didn't bother to pay attention to the disdain on Tang Shouren's face, and was completely immersed in his own world, enjoying the deliciousness of this fragrant meatloaf.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've eaten meat so unscrupulously, although there are many prey that I usually hunt, most of them are handed over to Tang Shouren, an old fox, and only in this way can I get the opportunity to take a medicinal bath."

Dongfang Xiaoshu, who was squinting, resisted the urge to continue eating the second meatloaf, and tried to swallow the excess saliva in his mouth a few times.

Finally, he reluctantly withdrew his hand and forcibly tied the animal skin bag around his waist with composure. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was inappropriate, and once again untied the animal skin bag and hid it in the hidden pocket sewn on his chest, only then did he raise his head with satisfaction, straighten his sword-like waist, and restore his usual demeanor.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious meat, it tastes so good!"

"Humph!"

For Dongfang Xiaoshu's self-amusement, Tang Shouren just squeezed out a cold snort that was neither light nor heavy from his nasal cavity.

In his heart, he thought disdainfully: "Eat, eat, after a while, when you enter the ancestral land, when you see that lady, you will become its delicacy!" ”

About the ancestral land on Mt. Baektu, the Oriental Tree does not know very well.

His understanding of the ancestral land was completely from the gossip he heard from Tang Huaishu.

Tang Huaishu once saw the notes of the previous patriarch of the Tang family, and most of the notes depicted some situations in the ancestral land.

However, on the last page of the note, he turned his pen and said that there had been immortal cultivators among the ancestors of the Tang family, who could not only call the wind and rain, but also fly away in an instant, and his skills were beyond the realm of mortals, which was staggering.

This is also one of the real reasons why Dongfang Xiaoshu is willing to risk his life, but still agrees to come to the ancestral land of Baektu Mountain.

And Tang Shouren squatted on the leeward side of a stone at this time, put his hand into the cuff, closed his eyes comfortably, and fell into memory.

Fifty years ago, Tang Shouren's father entered the ancestral land, although he failed to find the secret book of immortal magic that made people call for wind and rain and fly away, but he brought back a batch of "magic medicine" from the ancestral land.

Even if an ordinary person eats one pill, he can be strong, prolong his life, and stay away from all diseases.

In the third month after his father's return from the ancestral land, he became the new patriarch of Tangjia Village, and since then, he has been found out in depth, and he is almost invisible to people in the village.

A year later, it mysteriously disappeared, and the hearts of everyone in Tangjia Village have since been cast a strange shadow, and the previous patriarch has also become a taboo topic in the village, but the weirdness has not disappeared due to the disappearance of the previous patriarch.

Thirty years ago, when the ancestral land was opened, Tang Shouren prepared a large number of ancestral gifts according to the notes of the previous patriarch, hoping that the ancestors would bless them, so that the descendants could find the legendary immortal arts and embark on the road of their ancestors.

Unexpected endings often stem from wishful thinking, where people see the beginning but don't expect the end.

Strange to say, only young people who have reached the age of fifteen can enter, and when the younger or older enter the ancestral land, they will encounter an invisible wall, obviously there is nothing in front of them, but they have not advanced an inch, as if the ancestral land can test people's bone age, which is very surprising.

The grand and grand ancestor worship was completed in Tang Shouren's three worships and nine knocks, and the five descendants of the village who were selected to enter the ancestral land this time walked into the mountain gate of the ancestral land one by one in laughter, and it seemed that the swarthy cave entrance had already faded the coat of panic and unknown, and became as kind and warm as the wooden door at home.

As if they were worried that the treasures in the ancestral land would be obtained by the rest of the people first, although the five teenagers laughed, they disappeared into the dark cave like a gust of wind, causing the elders to laugh and scold.

Among the five teenagers is Tang Shouren's youngest son.

The elders led by Tang Shouren are looking forward to it, a stick of incense has passed, an hour has passed, two hours have passed, and everyone has a chat to pass the time.

Suddenly a bang was heard, and the entire narrow valley floor suddenly became extremely quiet, and the people in the astonishment did not know what was happening, and saw each other express something with their mouths open, but they could not hear any sound.

Tang Shouren pointed to the mountain gate opened by the ancestral land, his lips kept opening and closing, his eyes widened in horror, and the sky shook for a while, and everyone lost control of their bodies and consciousness.

As the heavens shook and the earth shook, the narrow valley was groaning, and somewhere at the bottom of the valley gradually bulged, cracks cracked like bursting blood vessels, centered on the uplifted place, and cobwebs were distributed in the surrounding ten zhang space.

A blazing flame rose into the air without warning, like a winged phoenix of fire, and the stones of the uplifted land instantly peeled away from the uplift like dirt as if they had weathered for thousands of years.

A large, somewhat broken altar was revealed, and the flames that rose into the air spread out in all directions, turning into clusters, like a spiritual child, feeling fresh about everything, and examining everything carefully.

A cluster of flames naturally came to the entrance of the cave in the ancestral land, swayed from side to side with some confusion for a while, and slowly floated towards the swarthy cave entrance, and actually floated in without hindrance.

The flames didn't go deeper, but they went back and forth between the invisible walls, as if it were fun.

The scattered clusters of flames returned one after another and merged into one, and the blazing narrow flames flashed into the ancestral land.

When Tang Shouren woke up, it was the scorching sun.

Ignoring the pain of his whole body, his eyes and ears in severe pain, he struggled to get up from the snow, squinting his eyes and looking around with palpitations to see what was going on.

The three old men in the same village are missing, and the entire valley floor does not seem to have changed much, except for a huge and dilapidated altar.

Tang Shouren tiptoed towards the broken altar, and just wanted to take a closer look, but a blazing fiery red fell from the sky, wrapping the broken altar and disappearing without a trace.

"The immortal spares his life, the immortal spares his life......"

Tang Shouren was trembling and lying in the snow, his limbs were paralyzed, and he begged for mercy, but he didn't get any response for a long time.

When Tang Shouren plucked up the courage to look up, he found that his eyes were empty, there was some broken altar there, and even Tang Shouren had a dazzling illusion.

However, in front of the entrance of the ancestral cave, a few lines of bloody characters came into Tang Shouren's eyes out of place, Tang Shouren seemed to see something extremely terrible, turned around and ran away, but found that he was motionless.

"What are you running? Besides, can you run? ”

A black strange bird the size of a mountain, with scarlet eyes the size of a house, stared at Tang Shouren with scarlet eyes and said.

"Damn humans, you know how to shit and pee everywhere, disgusting birds!"

"Niangniang said that in the future, two fifteen-year-old young people will be sent in every ten years, and Niangniang can protect the nearby villages from monsters; If it doesn't arrive, this is the end! ”

Like a black strange bird the size of a mountain, it rolled its scarlet eyes, revealing a very disgusted look, a wing, the wind was raging, and when it flew sand and stones, three heads stacked together were revealed, and blood was dripping.

"This is a token of contact with Niangniang, if there is a demon nuisance, place it on the altar in the ancestral hall, and Niangniang will keep your village safe!"

As the sound of the black strange bird fell, a gray bottle the size of a thumb fell in front of Tang Shouren, and the black strange bird turned into a black light and entered the cave where the ancestral land was located, and disappeared.

Tang Shouren was as if he had been cursed, and the bloody human head was deeply imprinted into his heart, becoming the most terrible nightmare in the rest of his life, and it was also buried deep in Tang Shouren's heart.

The people of Tangjia Village knew nothing except that there was an accident to worship their ancestors.

"Old man, it looks like someone is coming!"

Dongfang Xiaoshu, who was in joy, said brightly, and after rubbing his raised right index finger against his eyebrows, he pressed it on his chest a little by the way.

"It's good to be here!"

Tang Shouren muttered to himself, shook his head, shook off the past, and exhaled a long breath, his cold face finally twisted into a few twists, and the coldness was gone.

The biting cold wind was still howling, and pieces of crystal snowflakes were falling sporadically, and in an instant, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, obscuring the sight and changing the sky.
