Shen Li has not had this name since more than a thousand years ago. It has been so long that the world has forgotten that there was such a small clan near the White Wolf Yi on the border of Shuzhong.

Shen Li borders the White Wolf Yi on the border of Shuzhong, and is a very inconspicuous miasma land in the mountains. In this miasma, there is a god of Ze living in it, called Xuanyin Chi Ze God.

Xuanyin Pond was not a pond, but a swamp in the deepest part of Shen Li. There is a perennial fog here, and some poisonous gases contained in the fog are not a big problem for the Shen Li people who live here all year round and feed on water and grass in the swamp. However, outsiders will hallucinate in this forest because of the miasma, and often get lost in the swamp.

The Shen Li clan is a nameless small clan that has been accompanied by the sun, moon and stars for thousands of years, and has never stepped out of Shen Li. The world outside the Shen Li Swamp is dangerous to the Shen Li people. They are accompanied by the god Xuanyin Chize all year round. There are fish and aquatic plants in the Xuanyin Pond, and wild fruits on the trees in the forest. There are dead branches and trees on the mountain that can be used as huts. The Shen Li people have lived like this for thousands of years by feeding on these fish, aquatic plants, and wild fruits.

There is a custom among the Shen Li people that the dying will voluntarily sacrifice themselves to the god Xuanyin Chize in exchange for the endless life of future generations.

"Stone Year" and "Su Lang" are a pair of Ze gods in Xuanyin Pond. "Shi Nian" was originally known as Pu Ling, "Su Lang" was formerly known as Pu Bai, the two were born in Xuanyin Pond, lived in Xuanyin Pond, and accepted the worship of the Shen Li people for thousands of years, and also blessed the Shen Li family.

One day, an old man of the Shen Li clan knew that his destiny had reached the point of going to Xuanyin Pond alone.

A thick mist hung in the woods, and the old man walked barefoot in the swamp in his old clothes. The swamp water flooded the instep of his feet, and he rang the bell in his hand before he took a step. The bell is not crisp, but makes a slightly dull sound of "da-da".

This bell has been worn by every member of the Shen Li tribe since birth. The Shen Li people believed that this bell could dispel the miasma in the forest, guide them to the way home, and also guide the soul to the Xuanyin Pool.

The old man's beard was white, and he walked alone in the swamp, as if he had been alone when he came into the world, and he had been alone when he left.

He is not afraid, but has a sense of calmness and yearning.

The dull bell rang again and again, and as soon as the bell rang, the thick fog in front of him would suddenly fade a lot. The miasma swamp is full of devouring silt, and if you take a wrong step, you can only be buried in this eerie swamp, and you can't reach the Xuanyin Pool. But the old man followed the bell without the slightest fear.

Suddenly, with a "poof", a hand reached out from the swamp at the old man's feet and grabbed his ankle!

The old man was shocked and subconsciously wanted to break free, but the hand grabbed the old man's ankle with great strength. The old man lowered his head, and saw a terrible face in the mud looking up at him: "Help...... Save...... Help me......"

The man's face was covered with blood and mud, and the old man couldn't see the man's original appearance clearly, but felt that the person's appearance seemed to be torn off by someone, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

This old man was about to run out of oil, how could he withstand such a fright? He was so frightened that he threw away the copper bell in his hand, and just wanted to ask this unjust ghost.

The swamp was deep and shallow, and the bottom of the water was slippery, so could the old man struggle like this? The old man slipped under his feet, and the whole person fell backwards, sinking into the water, and never got up from the water again.

The old man sank, but the man who looked like a wronged soul crawled out of the mud by stepping on the old man.

He had half a cluster of arrows stuck in his back, and his face was covered in burns, and he knew at a glance that he was a deserter who had escaped from the battlefield. The man climbed to the shallow water by stepping on the old man's corpse, and sat down in the water, panting for breath. He reached out and groped in the mud for a while, and found the brass bell that the old man had thrown away.

He stood up from the water and gently shook the brass bell, which made two "clicks" like the sound of a skeleton stepping on the water. The deserter felt a chill in his heart, and was about to throw away the brass bell, when suddenly a pair of eyes stared at him in the thick fog

The deserter fell back into the water in horror, and his eyes were gone.

The deserter was so frightened that he forgot to throw away the brass bell in his hand. He had the courage to look around, and there was a thick white fog, and even his five fingers couldn't see clearly when he stretched out his hand.

"Da Da" twice, the deserter's movements caused the copper bell to ring twice, and the eyes suddenly appeared again. This time the deserter could see clearly that the eyes staring at him were none other than the old man. As soon as the bell rang, the mist faded by three points, and the old man who had sunk in the water was revealed.

The deserter noticed the trick, and he took a step in the direction of the old man, and then he shook the rattle, and the fog in front of him was thinner by three points.

The deserter followed the guidance of the brass bell and walked out of the miasma swamp.

The deserter looked at the scene in astonishment, and behind the fog there were two stone niches lit up, and on the stone niche lay a four-legged snake, and as soon as he saw the deserter, he crawled away.

Behind this stone niche there was a thatched hut with lights on, and several fruit trees outside the door were full of wild fruits and exuded fragrance. The deserter was hungry and thirsty, and stretched out his hand to pluck the fruit and began to eat it.

"Who are you?" a crisp female voice remembered from behind the deserter.

The deserter turned back vigilantly.

That woman was none other than Pu Ling. Most of the people who came here were old men who were dying, and although they were seriously injured, they were obviously in the prime of life. In addition, he was wearing armor, and he didn't look like a member of the Shen Li clan.

"You're not from the Shen Li clan, how can you be here?" Pu Ling looked at the deserter.

The deserter looked at Pu Ling, swallowed the half-chewed wild fruit, and looked at the copper bell in his hand.

Pu Ling followed the deserter's gaze and saw the copper bell, and frowned again: "How can you have this? ”

As soon as the deserter saw through Pu Ling's identity, he immediately moved his killing intent. He subconsciously touched his waist, but his waist was empty, but the saber on his waist had already fallen into the swamp.

He took a slow step back, and quietly felt a sharper branch in his hand.

Pu Bai stood behind the deserter and saw the deserter's movements clearly. Pu Bai said coldly: "When you are full of fruits, go out." ”

A man suddenly appeared behind him, and the deserter was so frightened that he threw away the branch in his hand.

Pu Bai was too lazy to deal with the deserters, so he led Pu Ling to turn around and walk into the house.

The deserter was even more shocked when he saw the backs of the two, and broke out in a cold sweat. There was mud everywhere here, and the direction he had walked in was full of footprints, and although Pu Ling and Pu Bai had feet, they didn't leave any footprints.

The deserter knew there was something strange about this place. There wasn't even a single livestock in such a miasma swamp, and the only living creatures were the four-legged snakes. Pu Ling and Pu Bai are not demons, what are they?

This deserter has heard too much ghost talk about eating people's spirits, and he doesn't want to stay here for a long time without Pu Ling driving him away. But although the deserter had just swallowed two fruits, he was still hungry. He was not afraid, so he plucked two more fruits and stuffed them into his mouth.

He panicked, ate in a hurry, and choked a fruit pit into his trachea. In an instant, he couldn't breathe, and his face flushed when he stuck his neck, and he was about to turn his back in a few moments.

"Eh, what's wrong with this person?" Pu Ling happened to walk into the courtyard and saw that the deserter not only didn't leave, but almost killed himself in this courtyard.

Pu Ling hurriedly walked up, stretched out his hand and patted the deserter on the chest, and the deserter spat out a fruit core with a "poof".

Although the deserter spit out the kernel and retrieved his life, he was already seriously injured and fainted in an instant after being tossed like this.

Pu Ling looked at the deserter with round eyes: "Shouldn't you be dead?" She stretched out her hand and probed the deserter's snort: "Pu Bai, he's still alive." ”

Pu Bai frowned and looked at the deserter: "You want to save him?"

Pu Ling: "He hasn't reached his life expectancy yet, and he can't enter the Xuanyin Pool." If you don't save him, won't you be able to watch him die in this Xuanyin Pool?"

Pu Bai was helpless. Pu Ling is kind-hearted, and when the Shen Li clan reaches the Mandate of Heaven, they sacrifice Xuanyin Pool, and Pu Ling will also try his best to use some miasma to make those people suffer less. Now that this deserter is seriously injured here, how can Pu Ling bear not to save him?

Pu Bai had no choice but to bring the deserter into the house. After some healing, Pu Ling not only saved the deserter, but also cured the arrow wounds on his body and the burns on his face.

When the deserter woke up, he found that he was even better looking than before he was injured, and he was grateful to Pu Ling and Pu Bai, and only after a thousand thanks did the four-legged snake lead the way out of Shen Li.

After the deserter left, Pu Ling and Pu Bai recovered the old man's body and buried it in the Xuanyin Pool, and soon left the matter behind. No one expected that this rescue would actually lay the root of the extermination.

Ten years later, the deserter returned.

But this time, he is no longer a deserter, he has become the prime minister. The people behind him called him Cai Xiang.

If it weren't for the copper bell in his hand, Pu Ling and Pu Bai probably wouldn't have recognized the sinister and treacherous Cai Xiang in front of him, who was full of fat and meat, was the deserter who was so thin that he almost choked to death!

Cai Xiang used the copper bell to explore the way and led a group of people and horses straight to Xuanyin Pool.

By the time Pu Ling and Pu Bai smelled the blood in the miasma, it was too late.

Cai Xiang entered the Shenli realm, looking for the road ten years ago to find the miasma forest that entered the Xuanyin Pool, but wandered in the forest and couldn't find the direction. Unable to find the miasma forest, he first went to the Shen Li village and asked the Shen Li people to take him into the miasma forest.

The people of the Shen Li tribe have been blessed by the Xuanyin Pond for generations, so how could they take Cai Xiang into the forest? Cai Xiang went on a killing spree, slaughtering all the men in Shen Li's village, leaving behind women and children.

But the Shen Li family, even if they are women, is not so easy to bully. Cai Xiang was severely punished in Shenli Village for three days, and the rest of the people were arrested one by one and executed with thousands of knives. The screams echoed over Shen Li, until three days later, in the evening, a little boy finally opened his mouth.

The little boy had only one thing to ask for, and that was to save his mother. But Cai Xiang knew how to enter the miasma forest, and he stabbed the little boy's mother mercilessly.

The little boy watched in horror as Cai Xiang's knife pierced through his mother's abdomen, red blood falling down the tip of the knife into the mud.

Cai Xiang looked at the little boy and smiled: "If I had said it earlier, I could have really let your mother go." It's a pity that it's come to this, and she's better off going to your father. ”

After that, Cai Xiang grabbed the little boy by the neck and lifted him up. The little boy was choked by Cai Xiang's neck and couldn't breathe, so he could only look at Cai Xiang with round eyes, and his feet kicked in the air.

Just when the little boy thought that he was going to be strangled to death by Cai Xiang, Cai Xiang let go and threw the little boy to the people behind: "Take him, maybe it will be useful." ”

Cai Xiang followed the path pointed out by the little boy and walked to the Xuanyin Pond with a copper bell. When he entered the Xuanyin Pool, the blood stains on Cai Xiang's body had not yet dried. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face, looked at Pu Ling and Pu Bai and grinned: "The two immortals haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

With a "clang", the basket in Pu Ling's hand fell to the ground.

Cai Xiang did not hide his purpose at all, and said bluntly: "This prime minister was favored by the immortal family many years ago. The immortal family not only saved Benxiang's life, but also gave Benxiang a good skin. I want this method of rejuvenation when I come today. Of course, the two immortals are the benefactors of the true phase, and the true appearance will not treat the two immortals badly. As long as the two immortals go back with the prime minister, the prime minister can ensure that the two of them will have fine clothes and food for a lifetime. ”

"Bastard!" Pu Bai protected Pu Ling behind him and glared at Cai Xiang angrily. Pu Bai's fingers moved slightly, and the surrounding miasma slowly gathered towards Cai Xiang.

Cai Xiangyi brought the little boy behind him over: "The two immortals should put away those witchcraft." Or do you want to try if the knife is faster or if you are faster?"

Cai Xiang put the knife on the little boy's neck and smiled sadly: "This is the last person in the Shen Li clan." ”

"What?" Pu Bai looked at the little boy in horror.

The little boy was restrained with his hands and feet, and the whole person struggled desperately. Instead of trying to break free, he stretched his neck and wiped it off the blade. His eyes were bloodshot, and he repeated the words: "Kill them!"

Cai Xiang took the knife farther away, looked at the little boy and shook his head: "Tut-tut, the temperament is not small, but I can't help you." ”

Pu Bai gritted his teeth and said: "There is no rejuvenation technique in this world. ”

Cai Xiang squinted his eyes and looked at Pu Bai: "There is no medicine, I can only ask the two immortals to go back." ”

Pu Ling said angrily: "Don't you think about it! What an ungrateful thief!"

Cai Xiang snorted: "The two immortal families have lived in this poor country for a long time, I'm afraid they don't know what the outside world is like, right?" Cai Xiang arched his hand: "Now the saint is the Son of Heaven, his will is the will of heaven, and the two immortals have to go if they don't go!"

There was a sound of squirming all around, and nearly a hundred four-legged snakes crawled towards Cai Xiang.

Cai Xiang was startled, jumped up with his feet, and his fat big feet suddenly stepped towards one of them: "Disgusting!"

"Stop!" Pu Bai's heart ached, these four-legged snakes were all disciples and grandchildren of Xuanyin Pool.

Pu Bai saw that Cai Xiang had injured the four-legged snake, so he bullied himself and attacked Cai Xiang. Cai Xiang waved his hand, and suddenly ten thousand arrows shot at Pu Bai behind him.

Pu Bai was originally good at driving only forest biogas. In order not to hurt the little boy, he actually chose to fight with Cai Xiang.

But the rain of arrows fell from the sky, where is Pu Bai's opponent.

When Pu Ling saw that Pu Bai was killed by Cai Xiang, how could she live alone? She looked at Cai Xiang with red eyes, then at the little boy, and suddenly shattered her inner pill with all her strength.

Cai Xiang saw Pu Bai and Pu Ling pass away one after another, and he was angry. Without doing anything, he took out the oil and poured it all over the Xuanyin Pool.

The Xuanyin Pool, which had never been lit for thousands of years, was burned in an instant. Along with it, there are hundreds of gods in the Xuanyin Pool who have not achieved positive results.
