At the foot of the Yunling Mountains, outside a thatched house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In a messy yard, three people who looked like family members overturned the herbs that were drying outside the house, trampled on them vigorously, and crushed them.

"Don't step on it, please don't step on it." A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old was crying desperately.

A thin boy of fifteen or sixteen years old next to him rushed forward and tried desperately to stop him, but he was kicked by a family member and lay on the ground unable to move.

"Hao'er!" On the bed in the house, there was a pale-faced woman, who watched her son be kicked down, fell off the bed, and struggled to crawl to the door, "You will have retribution, ahem..."

"Widow Zhang, if you can't pay back the money, don't blame us for being polite!" A family member said viciously.

"But you've trampled all the herbs, let's take what we want," Zhang Hao said as he lay on the ground, enduring the pain.

"Our son-in-law said that as long as Miss Yu'er is willing to sign the deed of sale, this account will naturally be written off." The family looked at the little girl with a lewd smile on his face and said loudly.

"Don't even think about it, I'll pay back the money," Zhang Hao struggled to get up, stood in front of his sister, and reluctantly said loudly.

"Hmph, how many times have you said this? Want to fool the ghost?" Jia Ding said with a look of contempt: "If it weren't for your dead ghost father's sake, do you think you can drag it out until now?" If you don't do it next time, you can't help it! Let's go. ”

The three of them turned and walked away.

It turned out that these three people were the family members of the Zhou family in Yangling County, and Zhang Hao's father was also a warrior who served the Zhou family, but unfortunately when he went into the mountains to hunt with the Zhou family a few years ago, he encountered a fierce beast and suffered a tragic accident.

Because Zhang Hao was frail and sickly since he was a child, he was not suitable for martial arts training at all, and he could not become a martial artist to take over his father's class.

Without the support of his father, Zhang Hao's mother worked hard in order to pull the two eldest children, so that she became ill from overwork and was bedridden a year ago.

At this time, the burden of the whole family was on Zhang Hao's shoulders, so Zhang Hao had to carry the medicine basket on his back and became a medicine picker.

However, in order to treat his mother's illness, Zhang Hao borrowed two copper coins from the Zhou family and set up a note of usury.

Unexpectedly, this was the beginning of the Zhang family's suffering.

In the past year, Zhang Hao has already repaid several times the principal, but under the rolling interest, he owes more and more.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll go pick medicine again today," Zhang Hao helped his mother to the bed and held his mother's hand tightly to comfort.

"It's useless," Zhang Hao's mother's voice was weak, "Hao'er, it's my mother who dragged you and Yu'er down." ”

"Mother, I'm sure I can pick valuable herbs today," Zhang Hao looked at his mother's pale face, desperately squeezing out a smile.

"Hey, my mother has seen through it, this money is not enough, Hao'er, you take Yu'er and escape! If you sell yourself into slavery, there is no hope in this life. Zhang Hao's mother was sad in her heart, and tears fell down and hit Zhang Hao's hands.

Zhang Hao felt a pain in his heart, knowing that his mother didn't want to affect them.

But how can he do such a thing, he shook his mother's hand and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will have a way." ”

"Brother, the vegetable soup is on the table, you can eat first." Yu'er said on the side.

Zhang Hao went to the table and picked up the vegetable soup, which was a mixture of cassava flour and wild vegetables, no oil and no salt, and the taste was also very bitter, which could only fill the stomach.

The early morning sun shone on the table, Zhang Hao looked at the two bowls next to him, and the vegetable soup in the bowls could shine a shadow.

Zhang Hao knew that if he didn't eat this bowl of vegetable soup, his mother and sister wouldn't touch it, and now he was the pillar of the family, if he fell, the family would collapse.

With tears in his eyes, he picked up the bowl and drank it in a big gulp, Zhang Hao picked up the medicine basket and walked towards the mountain.

This Yunling Mountain Range is extremely vast, and the vegetation in the mountains is abundant, and there are many medicinal herbs, among which there are also rare medicinal herbs, but there are also countless fierce beasts.

In order to avoid encountering fierce beasts, Zhang Hao had always only picked some ordinary herbs on the periphery, but this time he did not stop at the periphery, but walked deeper into the mountain.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, not only was it safe, but Zhang Hao also collected a lot of high-quality herbs. On a mountain peak, Zhang Hao stopped and looked at the Jade Emperor in front of him, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

The Jade Emperor Peak is an extremely steep boulder on this peak, named because it resembles the Jade Emperor.

On the way back from collecting medicine, Zhang Hao accidentally saw that the Jade Emperor's left ear had a long-term orchid blood grass, which was the material for making high-grade gold sore medicine.

"This orchid blood grass is at least more than five years old, but the position of the long plant is so tricky, if it is not for excellent eyesight and luck, it is difficult to find it at all," Zhang Hao secretly thought in his heart, "It's just that if you want to climb to the left ear of the Jade Emperor, the risk is too great, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss." ”

"With this herb, not only can I pay off the interest money owed to the Zhou family, but I can also buy some delicious supplements for my mother and sister. Just be careful, and you should be fine. ”

"Fight!" Zhang Hao put down the medicine basket on his back and climbed towards the top of the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor Peak is connected to the mountain peak on one shoulder, and the other shoulder is stretched out of the cliff, and if you fall down, you will definitely die.

To climb to the left ear position, you need to climb dozens of meters high from the mountain peak to the Jade Emperor's right ear, and then move all the way from the forehead, but there is almost no position on the top of the Jade Emperor's head for the hand to step on.

Climbing to the bridge of the Jade Emperor's nose, there was only a slight bulge for stepping on, Zhang Hao was already exhausted at this time, his fingers and calves were constantly trembling and twitching, but seeing the blue blood grass that was not far away, Zhang Hao mustered up great courage in his heart and continued to climb forward.

At this time, the mountain wind was whistling under his feet, Zhang Hao held his breath and moved slowly, and finally reached out and grabbed the orchid blood grass, but he didn't move at all, which suddenly made Zhang Hao's heart jump for a while.

You must know that at this moment, under Zhang Hao's feet, there is the abyss.

Zhang Hao worked hard in his hand, and the herb was finally slowly pulled out, but at the moment when the herb was pulled out, Zhang Hao's feet slipped and he stepped into the air.

Zhang Hao was holding the medicine in one hand at this time, and only one hand and one foot were left to exert force, where could he still support it, and the whole person fell down.

"No!" Zhang Hao's face was full of horror, watching the Jade Emperor's top get higher and smaller.

Seeing that Zhang Hao was about to smash on the ground, he fell through the ground into a hole with a "bang".

The bottom of the cave seemed to be a formation, shining with a faint light, and in the middle of the formation, a severed sword was standing up straight.

Impartially, Zhang Hao happened to be pierced by this broken sword, and half of the tip of the sword stabbed out of Zhang Hao's abdomen.

"Mother, Yu'er......" This was Zhang Hao's last thought before closing his eyes.

At the moment when Zhang Hao fell, the runes in that formation suddenly rose and collapsed one by one in the air.

At the same time as the formation darkened, Zhang Hao's blood seemed to be attracted, and it quickly converged towards the tip of the sword, and Zhang Hao turned into a dried corpse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The blood condensed into a tiny rosy bead of blood on the tip of the sword, motionless and exuding a beautiful luster like a jewel.

In the silence of the night, the white moonlight shone down from the roof of the cave and shone on the rose-colored blood beads, which reflected the faint moonlight, flickering as if breathing.

At this time, a giant python climbed in from the top of the cave and climbed all the way to Zhang Hao's body, seemingly not minding that the dinner was too dry.

The rose-colored blood bead suddenly flew up, turned into a blood-colored rune, and hit the giant python, only to see that the giant python instantly turned into a dried corpse, and then fell to the ground and shattered into a puddle of powder.

The rose-colored blood beads came out again, and they seemed to be much bigger than before. The blood beads were suspended on the top of Zhang Hao's head, as if he was thinking about something, for a long time, the blood beads suddenly drilled into Zhang Hao's head and disappeared.

Soon, Zhang Hao's miserable white and dry face gradually returned to a moist flesh color, and the skin on his body slowly began to swell and returned to its original state.

It's just that the swelling of Zhang Hao's body doesn't seem to stop, but it seems to be pumping, and it swells to a limit, as if it is about to explode in the next second.

Zhang Hao's eyes rolled and his mouth was wide open, as if he was desperately shouting, but he didn't make any sound.

And in the bulging body, the blood qi seemed to be looking for an outlet, knocking Zhang Hao's skin out of the bulge one by one.

In the end, those blood qi seemed to give up, the bulge became less and less, and the body was slowly returning to normal, and the truncated sword seemed to have dissolved in Zhang Hao's abdomen, and there was no trace of it anymore.

At the same time, Zhang Hao's originally thin figure was also pulled up a little, and his originally lean limbs also showed well-proportioned muscles.

I don't know how long it has been, Zhang Hao woke up with his eyes open, and found that he seemed to have fallen into a cave, and there was a faint light shining in from the top of the cave.

Zhang Hao vaguely remembered that he seemed to have fallen from the top of the mountain, fell off the cliff, and then had no memory.

With a slight movement, Zhang Hao suddenly felt that every bone and muscle in his whole body was in pain, and he barely stood up, but found that his arms and body were full of muscles.

"This power? This is the power of a warrior! Zhang Hao punched out and felt an unprecedented explosive force.

"What happened to me?" Ren Zhang Hao racked his brain, and he couldn't think of what happened just now.

The hole in the ground is not big, there is nothing else except the blue blood grass on the ground, Zhang Hao used both hands and feet, and it didn't take long to crawl out of the hole.

Looking at the cliff overhead, Zhang Hao couldn't help but be a little afraid, and then looked around, a few feet away from the cave, there was a dense primeval forest.

Hearing the howls of fierce beasts coming from time to time in the forest, Zhang Hao decided to try to climb the cliff first, after all, the cliff is still the most direct way to return, and the forest does not know what dangers are hidden.

Reaching out to grab a raised rock, Zhang Hao found that he climbed much easier, as soon as he pulled his hand, his whole body jumped up slightly, and as soon as his feet were padded, his hand climbed a big rock in the distance.

Zhang Hao climbed faster and faster, and with a stick of incense, he climbed to the middle of the cliff. After another incense stick, Zhang Hao finally touched the mountain rock on the top of the cliff, and rolled up.

Lying on the ground, looking at the bright moon in the sky that exudes soft light, Zhang Hao greedily breathed the air with the fragrance of grass, and really felt like a world away.
