Chapter 1 Infatuated Boy
"Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
On the southern edge of the land of Donglong, next to a tree-lined path in Qinglong County, there was a crisp and pleasant sound of reading in a school that was neither big nor small.
In the school, a group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers, holding textbooks and following the teacher on the podium, shook their heads and read aloud the inspirational and enterprising poems in the textbooks.
However, at this moment, an alternative voice suddenly sounded, and there was deep thought in this voice.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. ”
Suddenly, the school hall fell silent, and all the students put down the books in their hands in unison, as if they already knew who it was, and all their eyes were cast in one direction.
In the corner of the school, there was a young man wearing a blue scribe's robe, the young man's eyebrows were clear, his eyes were bright but there was a faint sadness. At this point, the boy scratched his head and cast an apologetic glance around.
"Li Xiang, what are you going crazy again, what are you doing, you said that you are young, you don't learn the right way well, follow the way of heaven and earth, and you actually learned infatuation, you said that you ...... Alas! That's it, that's it, you can't be taught, punish you after school, clean the school, and now go out and reflect on it. ”
The old scholar Li on the podium slapped the podium with one hand, pointed at the young man in blue with the other, and glared angrily, although he was angry in his tone, but there was a feeling of hatred that iron could not become steel, and after the anger, there was only helplessness, and in the end, only regret remained.
"Teacher, I'm sorry!" The boy bowed his head and walked out.
"Alas! This infatuated calf Li Xiang, if he doesn't get sick once a day, he won't be able to give birth, you said it's been three years, and his child daughter-in-law doesn't know where to go, and she still can't forget it. ”
"Alas! It's a pity that a genius! If it weren't for the fact that he was abolished three years ago and became a wasted person, he might not know how to nourish his life now. ”
"People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and they are jealous. What's more, there is a beauty in his family who looks like a fairy, maybe it is who covets beauty and looks at him unpleasantly. ”
"Hmmm! That's what I said, when you say that, I'm also envious, jealous and hateful! The little lady has fine skin and tender meat, and she looks greedy, and she really wants to touch it, but it's a pity. ”
There were a few teenagers in the school, looking at Li Xiang's back as he went out, talking in a low voice, with a look of schadenfreude in his eyes.
"Sister Qingxue, where are you anyway?"
The boy stood outside the house, staring blankly into the distance, and in his sight there was a red mountain range.
The young man's name is Li Xiang, he is a down-and-out genius scholar in Qinglong County, Longguo, his family is quite wealthy, and there is a child daughter-in-law named Feng Qingxue who is three years older than him, and the family of four lives happily.
But when Li Xiang was seven years old, his parents suddenly disappeared and were never found, some people said that they had died, and there were only two people left in the family, Li Xiang and Feng Qingxue, and the two depended on each other since then.
The disappearance of his parents made Li Xiang depressed for a long time, but for the sake of life, for the sake of the family, and for the sake of the wind and snow, he still had to continue to live.
Study hard and earn money to support your family.
When he was thirteen years old, Li Xiang was found out by the immortals of Xianmen, he had spiritual roots, had the posture of cultivating immortals, and wanted to admit him to Xianmen.
The development of this matter should have been a happy event, and Li Xiang and Feng Qingxue's life would be better and better.
But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and on the night of the same day, a group of masked black-clothed people appeared, beating Li Xiang into a waste, and the child daughter-in-law was snatched away.
"You see that Li Dacai has been kicked out by the teacher again." A group of five or six-year-old children passed by and saw Li Xiang standing outside the house, and opened his mouth innocently.
"Surely he thought about his wife again in class, and then was punished by the teacher for talking nonsense."
The group of children teased Li Xiang for a while, and then sang a poem that Li Xiang often hung on his lips, and gradually moved away.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. ”
I don't know how long it took, the school was over, and Old Scholar Li walked out, looked at Li Xiang who was standing outside the door, and said with a serious expression: "Tomorrow is the day the Forbidden Land Mountain Range opens, do you really want to go?"
Li Xiang didn't answer, just nodded, and then asked an inconsequential question, "I heard that Mr. Li is from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and I heard that there are many sects there, countless immortals, and flowers are blooming. ”
Old Scholar Li blinked his eyes, didn't understand the meaning, just nodded, and then looked in the direction Li wanted to look, and said: "The Forbidden Land Mountain Range is a place of death, you obviously know that it is very dangerous inside, you still want to go, why do you say you are so stubborn."
"Alas! Idiot! What an infatuated man! ”
Old Scholar Li sighed, withdrew his gaze, and staggered into the distance, his rickety back getting longer and longer as the sun set.
Li Xiang's eyes stared, looking at the back of Old Scholar Li, and he actually had an illusion, hunting in a white robe, with white hair and no wind, the word fairy wind Dao bone appeared in Li Xiang's mind.
"Is Mr. Li an immortal?"
"But what does this have to do with me?"
Li Xiang withdrew his gaze, continued to look at the red mountain range in the distance without blinking, and clenched his fists, he knew that it was a place of death and life, but he also wanted to go.
Some people say that Li Xiang is stupid, but this is his persistence.
It was an ordinary, small house, with a resting couch, a square table with only three legs, and an oil lamp, on which for some unknown reason was surprisingly not extinguished.
After cleaning the school, he returned home, Li Xiang stood at the window and looked at the sky outside, the sky was dark and rumbling, only a few stars lit up, far away and there was no end in sight, as if he couldn't see the future, there was no light ahead, there was darkness.
After a long time, Li Xiang shook his head, sat cross-legged on the couch, and took out an iron box from the side of the pillow, which was clean and bright, without a trace of dust.
Open the tin box, there is a gray cloth wrap inside, and put the tin box back to the pillow.
Holding the gray package, he flicked the dust that did not exist on it, and when he untied it, he revealed a white brocade box.
The white brocade box exudes a soft glow, adding a touch of light to the already unlit room.
If anyone were here at this time, they would be surprised.
What kind of white brocade box is this, it is simply a white jade brocade box made of thousand-year-old white jade!
The thousand-year-old white jade is worth a thousand taels of silver, even with Li Xiang's previous family background, it can only be bankrupt.
An iron box contains such a valuable item, and it can be seen that the items in the white jade brocade box are even more extraordinary.
"Sister Qingxue, you and I have been dependent on each other for thirteen years, you said that you would marry me when I was sixteen, you said that you were nineteen, and I was sixteen, tying the knot together, and flying like wings."
"Father and mother have left me, but why do you want to leave me?"
"Is it because I became a wasted person, you dislike me and leave me, I don't believe it."
"I must find you and ask me to understand, is our original alliance all fake?"
"It must have been the immortals who forcibly took you away, otherwise you wouldn't have left without saying a word." Li Xiang gently stroked the white jade brocade box, feeling the warmth on it.
Three years ago, after the disappearance of the child's daughter-in-law's sister, Li Xiang scattered all his family property and became nothing, in exchange for the white jade brocade box in his hand.
Millennial white jade, which can store mortal things, is incorruptible for thousands of years, and is immortal for thousands of years.
Such a precious thing is only to protect the things in the brocade box, the people in a painting.
White shadow, willow eyebrows, small nose, cherry mouth, watery hibiscus-like forehead and jade neck. She covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes were clear, and the whole person was extraordinary, as if she had come from a fairyland, without the slightest fireworks in the world, her snow-white skin, her beautiful face, and her wonderful figure hidden in her white dress.
Jade holds a paper fan, walks lightly, falls silently, walks in the wind, the wind blows the fairy robe fluttering, like a neon dress and feather dance.
This is a painting made by Li Xiang when Li Xiang was thirteen years old and Feng Qingxue was sixteen years old. Looking at the person in the painting, although he is only sixteen years old, he is a living beauty embryo.
"The three-year period that the immortal said has arrived, as long as you enter the depths of the Forbidden Land Mountain Range, you can be found, no matter how dangerous the Forbidden Land Mountain Range is, I will find you." Li Xiang stroked his fingers lightly, as if touching the face of the person in the painting, his eyes were soft, and a drop of crystal fell into lovesick tears and turned into lovesick words.
Speechless all night, Li Xiang fell asleep holding the scroll like this.
When the sky was a little cloudy, Li Xiang woke up, put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, and after washing up, he walked outside.
After locking the door and glancing at the house where he had lived for three years, he headed west, where there was a mountain range shrouded in red light.
In the faint light of the night, the moon hangs high, and the cool moonlight shines in this vast and equally boundless red mountain range.
The surroundings are red, the white fog is filled, you can't see your fingers, you can't see your head at a glance, you don't see flowers and bones, only red grass, red towering trees, and even the soil on the ground is red, as if it has been stained with blood, a red world.
Eerie, there was no movement at all, no tinkling sound could be heard, no trace of living beings could be seen, no breath could be smelled, everything was silent, like a dead city, like a huge mouth of the abyss, devouring everything around it.
Li Xiang walked cautiously in the red world, the sound of his feet clattering, stepping on a footprint, and the red grass he stepped on turned into flying ash. However, after Li Xiang took a few breaths, a strange scene occurred, those footprints disappeared automatically, and the original place was restored, but there was no red grass in the same place.
It's not dyed red, it's not inherently red, it's not what it was 100,000 years ago, it was a green mountain range full of life. But just 100,000 years ago, in the spring, and now in this season, a shocking event happened here.
Legend has it that there was a sudden golden light in this place, like a big lid covering this place, and the outside could not see the inside, and no sound could be heard. Legend has it that there were immortals fighting, but no one knew what was going on until a month later, when the golden light cleared and the green mountain range changed into what it is now in the red world.
In the same year, a strange thing happened, when people wanted to enter again, they were blocked by an invisible force, whether it was a human, an immortal or a demon beast, they couldn't get closer.
Three years later, an immortal descended from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to announce to the world that immortals can enter here, but after entering, they will be suppressed and cultivated into mortals like mortals. Mortals can only enter the place for two months after the triennial period, and when the time is up, the white light expells everyone.
Since the incident in the Forbidden Land Mountain Range happened 100,000 years ago, although there are no man-eating demon beasts in it, countless formations have inexplicably appeared in it, some of these formations are powerful, and some are not powerful, but for mortals and immortals who have become mortals, it is one word whether it is powerful or not, if you go in, it is death!
This is the Forbidden Land Range, one of the two major Jedi in the land of the Eastern Dragon.
