Chapter 1.

Jizhou, the foothills of Taihang Mountain, stretching for thousands of miles, hundreds of mountains are interconnected, thousands of peaks are towering, and thousands of ravines are deep. Hanoi north to Youzhou, where Bailing, people are difficult to reach. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, because of its topography, it has been formed by the valley, and it has to be too many paths.

However, in this stretch near the sea, north of the Eight Paths Taihang Path, on the towering peaks, there are actually the sounds of chickens and dogs. Originally, there was a depression in the middle of the mountain peak, like a dry lake, with a few houses, and a small village of its own.

This small village, named Qianlong Village, was formed by Guiguzi in his later years, migrating and multiplying with his disciples and servants. During the period from the Warring States period to the present, it has been nearly 400 years, and there is no distinction between disciples or servants.

The Guigu doctrine is all-encompassing, and can be classified as a soldier, a vertical and horizontal family, arithmetic, and yin and yang. The most difficult of these was arithmetic, which was understandable to the ancients who did not have Arabic numerals.

Zeng Yu has been here for three years now, since the contact, the Arabic numerals handed over to the village boys, and the village elders were shocked as heavens, sighing that Mr. has a spirit, and there is such a talented protégé. In addition, Zeng Yu was originally a scholarly family, and he had a certain amount of knowledge in all aspects when he was in high school, and he became the leader of this generation in the village after three years of learning.

Although it is a seclusion, it is not a complete escape from the world, such as the words of the soldiers, the words of the vertical and horizontal, should have entered the world to practice. During the period, there were also people out of the mountain, and broke out of a great reputation, the lord to the marquis, but in order to keep secret, not to show people in the Guigu Gate, but to become a soldier or a family, as for later, the Confucian family is dominant, hidden deeper.

In the village, most of the houses are simple, but there is one in the middle that is particularly prominent, take a closer look, there is a couplet at the gate, the book "Tiankai Xuanjiao teaches the sage, the earth springs spring in the inside", it seems to be the ancestral temple in the village.

At this time, under the big tree outside the ancestral hall, there is a young man sitting alone on the stone, holding a bamboo slip, seemingly reading and thinking, but if you can listen carefully, you will find that it is not at all.

"The world is wonderful, and I don't know what the previous dream was like." The boy's name is Zeng Yu, an orphan in the village, and his father fell off a cliff when he was more than a year old. His mother was overly sad, and her body, which had been not good after giving birth to him, fell ill all of a sudden, and within a few years, she also died. Fortunately, the people in the village are simple, Zeng Yu is also smart and sensible, and with the relief of Baijiafan, he grew up, and now he is also a seventeen-year-old boy.

But a few days ago, after returning from the village school, he suddenly fell ill and was in a coma for three days. ”

After saying that, before he could ask, he disappeared, and after a while, he found himself in a place that he didn't know what it was called, and the food, drink, clothing, and housing were all different from his own, and he was actually in a place called Middle School. After a few years of understanding and studying, he found that this world may be the future of the original world, he thought that he would spend his life like this, but he didn't expect that after graduating from college, he fell ill and fell asleep again, and once again saw the old man he met when he was asleep before, and after waking up, he returned to Qianlong Village, and time, compared to the last coma, only three days have passed.

This year is the sixth year of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty (182 AD), and it is also the year when this generation of teenagers decide whether to join the WTO. Thinking of this, he jumped up and walked to the back of the village.

At this time, at the back of the village, it was a different scene, a group of teenagers were duel with sticks, one of them was obviously better than the others, but he was alone and had the advantage.

"Haha, Erhei, you're bullying your brother again, why didn't you go hunting in the mountains today", Zeng Yu just walked over and shouted from afar.

"Big brother, I said don't call me Erhei, you make me very faceless like this", Erhei's surname is Wang, his single name is Qing, although he is the same age as Zeng Yu, he is twenty-eight years old, but looking at his figure, the altitude of more than eight feet, if it is not for the slightly immature face, he can't tell that he is a sixteen-year-old boy at all. Hearing Zeng Yu call him, he forced back the five opponents around him with one move, and walked straight over.

"We are all brothers, everyone is the same, and we are not in front of outsiders, and we don't have any words, so let's call this cordial," Zeng Yu said.

"Okay, okay, whatever the eldest brother says, I'll listen to you anyway", Wang Qing said again and again, wiping his sweat over and over again.

"I came to you today for something, in another month, it will be the second of February, and it will be our group of brothers to decide whether to go out, or the time in the mountains, what do you think?"

"Me? Of course, I followed you out, big brother."

"Good brother, then let's break through and dare to carry the world when we turn back."

"Big brother, have you gone to ask the third child, this kid is bad all day long, we have to pull him out to scourge people, we can't stay in the village to teach bad children." Wang Qing suddenly said to Zeng Yu, with a lewd smile that did not match his image at this time.

"You're right, I'm going to ask him, let's go, let's go to him and see where he eats." As he spoke, the two walked together to the village chief's house. It turned out that the third child they were talking about was the child of the village chief, who had been very smart since he was a child, but he didn't use all his intelligence in his studies, and he swayed all day long, leading the children in the village to become a scourge. However, despite this, the village chief usually takes care of everyone, so everyone endures it. Second, although this guy usually doesn't do serious things, he never gets into trouble, but he really has too much energy and likes to toss, and the village is originally the inheritance of the Ghost Valley, and he is talented in vertical and horizontal, so everyone follows him.

The two of them spoke, and within a few minutes they came to the door of the village chief's house, and they heard the sound of talking from inside.

"Dad, let's talk about it first, if I win a chess game today, you will let me go down the mountain", when I heard it, it was Sun Hao's unique voice, arrogant, but with a certain principle, he always likes to plan and move.

"Roll the calf, although your mother is reluctant, but I know that you belong to the outside world, even if you don't win, I will let you go down the mountain", a bold voice returned.

"That's the best, but don't worry, I'll win."

Zeng Yu and the two outside the door, hearing the conversation between the father and son, looked at each other, it seems that there is no need to ask, they already know the answer. The two also walked into the house, and saw that the father and son were setting up a chessboard on the table, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be chess.

It turned out that since Zeng Yu had a new memory three years ago, he handed over this chess to everyone, and it slowly became a big pastime. Especially some uncles and uncles of the older generation, they like to put a plate on it when they have nothing to do. And Sun Hao also likes this very much, often learns from Zeng Yu, but always loses more and wins less, plus in arithmetic, Zeng Yu is everyone's teacher, so Sun Hao also regards Zeng Yu as a big brother, a few years ago, Zeng Yu is older, plus everyone obeys him, he is the eldest brother, Wang Qing is second, is the second brother, Sun Hao is the youngest, is the third. But he himself always felt that he should be the second brother, just because Wang Qing was a few days older, and he usually looked like his muscles were growing to his brain, how could he compare to a person who relied on his brain to eat.

The two people playing chess saw Zeng Yu and them coming in, and the village chief looked up, "Xiao Yu and Ah Qing are here, sit casually, you are Xiaohao brothers, and this is also your home",

"Hello Uncle Sun!" The two greeted each other, and sat down on a stool.

"Uncle Sun, we came today to ask Sun Hao if he plans to go down the mountain this year, but I heard you outside the door just now, and I understand", Wang Qing was straight, and he said his intention straight to the point.

"Good brother, then the three of us just have a good time, and what we have learned in our lives is not in vain", Sun Hao saw that the eldest brother who usually respects him was also going down the mountain, and returned happily, and by the way, he took the old father to the army.

"That's right, then let's have lunch here first, your aunt is preparing now, and I don't need to call you today", Uncle Sun took the opportunity to return to the army. There used to be only two meals in the village, and eating and drinking were simple, but since Zeng Yu discovered his talent for eating and drinking from his new memory, slowly the people in the village have become accustomed to three meals a day, and there are more tricks, and he himself is an orphan, often hunting and other ingredients to the village. Originally, the village chief admired him very much, and when he saw that he was in trouble alone, he simply let him come to the village chief's house for dinner when he was free.

Not long after, the chess game between the father and son ended, and Sun Hao played exceptionally this time, and soon won against his father, which can be regarded as an official teacher. At this time, the meal is also ready. "Eat quickly, there is a wild deer hunted in front of your Uncle Sun today, which is just a blessing." Sun Hao's mother's surname is Liu, and she is a traditional woman in this era, who keeps the house in good order, and since she learned the new cooking skills mentioned by Zeng Yu, the meals she cooks are a must.

After the meal, the village chief asked the three of them to stay and followed him to the study.

"The three of you are my optimistic teenagers, Xiao Yu, you are comprehensive, have ideas, eclectic, I believe there will be a future, Ah Qing is brave, although I don't like to think, but it is also thick and fine, and you follow Xiao Yu, I can rest assured." The village chief looked at the two of them and said earnestly. Then he turned to look at his son. "Hao'er, I know you like the world under the mountain, and I hope to be a marquis, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, don't be ambitious, follow Xiao Yu well, I think you can learn a lot from him."

"Thank you, Uncle Sun (Dad)!" The three of them bowed down together and saluted. When the village chief saw the three of them, he thought for a moment, got up and turned around to open the cabinet and take out something from it. It turned out to be a black box, and then I saw the village chief open it, and inside was a round jade pendant, and there were two words engraved on it, and if you looked closely, it was the hieroglyph of Guigu.

"This is a token of our Guigumen people, and people who have gone down the mountain for generations have understood it, and they are generally informed of the exclusive imprint. But your generation, the old people in the village, can see that it is the most outstanding generation in history, and I believe that it will make great achievements, and now I will pass it on to you, which was originally given when you go down the mountain, but since you are sure to go down the mountain today, I will give it to you first." The village chief took out the jade pendant and gave it to Zeng Yu, "Xiao Yu, in this generation, you are the best, and you are also obeyed in the same generation, now I will tell you about it, if you encounter trouble after going down the mountain, you can find us in the same door, but I hope more that you can rise on your own." ”

"Uncle Sun, don't worry, we will definitely not insult it, it will definitely spread the name of the ancestor in Kyushu one day", Zeng Yu said as a result.

"Okay, in the future, the three of you will definitely help each other, they all grew up together, and if there is any conflict, you must also put brotherly feelings first", the village chief encouraged the three of them earnestly.

After speaking, the three of them walked out of the study and bid farewell to the village chief, Zeng Yu and Wang Qing also went back to prepare, both full of expectations for the future.
