The Fall of the Black Serpent (1) Chapter 1 (First Acquaintance)

Next Chapter

At the beginning of the eightieth year of the Yuan calendar, Jiuzhou ended centuries of territorial warfare and unification with Yao. The superior took the ancient city of Chang'an as the imperial capital and called himself the Star Emperor.

After that, Xingdi advocated reform and innovation, and vigorously promoted academics. After the death of the Star Emperor, his descendants continued to actively explore the way of cultivating immortals, encouraging the establishment and development of the sect, after hundreds of years, Jiuzhou reached an incomparably prosperous state, and many sects of cultivating immortals respected the Yao Kingdom like the stars holding the moon, so it was renamed 'Wanxingzhou', and pushed to remember the new calendar of the world - 'ephemeris'.

However, in the first year of the ephemeris, in the barren land directly south of the Yao Kingdom, many desolate ancient beasts appeared one after another, colluding with the sea of Xuanbing, which was unique among the five major sects, and wanted to rebel!

In the tenth year of the ephemeris, the 'Battle of the Stars' came as scheduled. With the Xingling Mountain vein as the mainstream, the remaining three absolute 'Hundred Flowers Sect', 'Eightfold Method', and 'Beast Control Sect' are the main combat forces to fight.

The Great War, which lasted for half a century, was almost wiped out by the Yao Kingdom, the leader of the ancient beast lineage, Baqi, and the Red Sun Golden Fox Clan, one of the hundred clans. Since then, the ancient beast retreated to the Slashing Immortal Mountain and disappeared, and the rebellious sect Xuanbing Immortal Sect was removed from the Hundred Immortals Alliance of Wanxingzhou and rushed to the Sea of Cold Bones. After the Great War, the Four Great Immortal Gates successively asked Emperor Shuxing to withdraw from Yaoguo, build their own system, and break away from the world.

At the beginning of the seventieth year of the ephemeris, the Star Emperor allowed it.

......

Not far from Chang'an, surrounded by mountains and forests.

The rain was pouring down, and the wind was howling, like a dragon that had been touched against the scales, and it was like this village proclaiming its brutal rule. Even though it was still early, half of it was already covered in darkness.

"Bell-bell, bell", I don't know how long it took for the village entrance to start to hear intermittent striking, sometimes strong and sometimes slight. A small thatched pavilion in the deep alley looks particularly fragile and small in this bad weather. He followed the sound of the bell, but found that it was already pitch black, only a few houses side by side, and the light of the lights shone through the plain veil on the grille window around the pavilion.

He shook his head numbly, trying to think of something, but it seemed that he didn't know anything. He hung his head and let himself be buried in the darkness.

"Hey!", some childish voices came abruptly, "why aren't you going home?"

He looked over a little confused, by the faint light of the fire. Wrapped in a red cotton plain dress, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old trembled. She covered her small, frozen red hands, and the hot air slowly spit out from her mouth and wrapped around her palms. She staggered over, and the rain hit her two straight ponytails, looking particularly playful. He didn't answer her, still staring blankly at her rain-soaked ponytail, the water dropping down the girl's hair, and with one step, the girl stepped into the pavilion.

"Are you here to listen to the old gentleman?", the girl didn't seem to care whether he answered her or not, and still asked herself, "I knew I should have brought a wooden umbrella, this rain is really heavy." ”

"Oh yes, I haven't asked you what your name is?" asked the girl, rubbing her wet hair, curiously, "Sir said you had to remember someone's name before you could be friends with him." She looked back and smiled innocently.

He shook his head, "I don't know", and the simple answer made the girl a little overwhelmed.

"Hmm...... , how could I not know", the girl was a little puzzled, "Didn't your family tell you?"

He was a little stunned...... My, family?

Suddenly the rain fell heavier, and the sudden thunder startled the girl. Faintly, it seemed that someone's shout was heard. The girl seemed to have forgotten the question she had just asked, and looked out of the pavilion.

"Sujin...... , Su Jin ......", the shout got closer and closer, and it seemed to be the voice of an adult woman.

"I'm here, Niang", the girl replied loudly, shaking her head and looking very cute. As soon as the words fell, the woman's brisk footsteps came, and the sound of rain was particularly heavy.

"I'm going home," the girl said softly, turning to the side, "you're going to ask your family for your name, and I'll be friends with you tomorrow, hehe." He looked at the girl's childish smiling face, a little distracted, and then just nodded slowly.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a wooden umbrella appeared dozens of meters outside the pavilion. The girl trotted briskly over.

"You stupid girl, you don't know how to take an umbrella to listen to a book after such a heavy rain", the woman rubbed her daughter who squeezed under the umbrella with some distress.

"Hehe, I'm not lazy", the girl lowered her head a little ashamedly, "Besides, don't you still want to come and take me back." "Then if I don't come to pick you up, you're going to go home drenched," the woman said angrily, "Don't do that next time!"

"Okay, I know it's wrong," the girl shook her arm coquettishly.

"Alas, I really can't help you, go home", the woman shook her head helplessly and said with a smile.

He listened to their footsteps fade away, and fell into the darkness again. Another thunderclap, accompanied by a sudden flash of lightning, and the zigzag white light was extremely dazzling in the dark night. In an instant, the pavilion was like the day. He moved, his thin limbs suddenly clasped by thick chains! The pitch black seemed to come out of the void space, and he was bound to death.

He didn't seem to feel the presence of the chains, and curled up his thin limbs. Darkness completely enveloped the place.

I don't know how long it took, and the tyrannical rain withdrew from the stage. The sky was clean, like the first grass was fresh and vibrant.

He struggled to open his eyes, and the surrounding area was muddy, and the remaining rain slid down the corner of the pavilion.

"He's awake! Come and see!" the shrill child's cry exploded like thunder in his hazy consciousness.

He frowned. He is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, with a thin figure and a sharp chin, which makes people a little unpleasant.

"Come on, hehe", another child ran over, with a round belly, tiger-headed, and cute, but the arrogance and arrogance in his expression were particularly unpleasant. Behind him were a group of boys of the same size.

"This guy is awake, he didn't have a lot of fun yesterday, and today I have to let him taste Lao Tzu's fist, hehe. The fat boy rubbed his fists together and smiled defiantly. Before the words fell, the surrounding children were flattering, but it was as wonderful as a gathering of a group of adults.

He looked unconsciously, not feeling the danger he was about to face. Then he shook his wet hair, and the raindrops were thrown out. But at the moment he turned around, an unknown mass of objects slammed into his sight. He was in some pain as the rain was heavy, and the dirty mud mixed with the muddy rain slid down his cheeks.

"Haha, look how disgusting he is!" the skinny kid slapped his dirty hands and laughed triumphantly. Everyone looked at him with a dirty face, as if they had an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Immediately, a steady stream of dirt came at him, some mixed with stones, and smashed him out of blood. He shook his head indifferently, as if accustomed to such abrupt attacks. In his eyes, there is still no color in the cloud, which makes people feel a little distressed. It seems that he is about the same age as them, but the darkness in his eyes is puzzling to adults who have experienced all the vicissitudes of life.

"Look at him, how stupid", the fat boy led by him sneered sarcastically, "a beast without a father, haha". Holding a larger lump of mud in his hand, he threw it with all his might, almost stumbling on his feet.

With a thud, the huge mud took him to the ground, and his weak torso slammed into the hard stone bricks. When he looked up again, his face was covered in muddy blood, slowly running down his sleeves. He struggled to get up, but was pulled back by the heavy chains of his limbs.

"Haha, look at him haha", the laughter of the boys instantly enveloped the small pavilion where the sunlight was blocked. "What a clown!" This prank seems to have no end for the time being, and countless ways of spoofing the children have happened to him one by one, and strangely, he does not resist. Perhaps, the only thing he could resist was the indifferent look in his eyes, which, in their understanding, was a silent provocation.

As the sky darkened, this aimless prank gradually came to an end. Most of them were a little tired, but their faces did not diminish the satisfaction of bad taste.

"This guy is really stupid and boring", the fat boy shook his head playfully, "Let's do this today, let's play again tomorrow", maybe this has become a daily amateur activity in their eyes, and they don't end up with it. The boys all nodded in agreement and walked away in the direction of the light, not forgetting to kick it before leaving. The sunset sprinkled on their still young faces, but it also brought the beauty of youth. However, only he knew that under this kind of beautiful drama, there was also a kind of banter on his bloody face.

The red-hot magma boiled through the cracks in the stone layers, and hot gas gushed out. But in the dark underground there is a burgundy light, and around the empty cave, countless gems are inlaid on the hard rock wall, which is like a palace, and it is resplendent with gold.

The man sat in the depths of the hall, pure blue flames shrouded the huge chair in front of him, and all around him were giant wolves with wings and one tail! Strong limbs and terrifying claws were tightly embedded in the hot ground, and the vigorous flames spread from their thick and powerful wings, and their whole bodies seemed to burn in flames. This kind of strange beast that seems to be noisy in the world has all succumbed to it and fell down like a deep submission.

But he was not surprised, and there was no fear at all. In the dark red firelight, in the man's plain face, his eyes were strangely bright and blood-red vertical pupils, eye-catching but terrifying.

"How did the story begin?" The dull voice was not loud, but it seemed to rise from the entire lava river, enveloping this palace in another world.

"Everything is going according to plan, but," a deep man's voice replied in a corner that was out of the light, and he paused, as if he didn't know how to speak.

"Say," commanded the man on the throne without raising his head.

"I'm afraid it will be a big blow to him if it goes on like this," the man in the dark was a little puzzled, "Is it possible to make it easier to make it easier? ”

He waved his hand, "It's okay, when he comes to me, the real story has just begun, and here, there are some things that we can't predict until now." He paused and slowly stood up, "Hopefully he will make it to that day, and I look forward to seeing him again." ”

"Understood, I'll arrange it. The man responded, and the next moment, he was completely hidden in the darkness.

After a long time, the man on the throne walked down, and the dark red robe fluttered without wind. As he walked, the magma beneath his feet boiled violently as if in response. The monsters around them trembled as if they were under heavy pressure. At this moment, everything around him declares that he is the king here!

"I'll wait for you to come back!" the king roared violently, his fluttering robe was torn in an instant, and the huge wings full of black scales stretched out arrogantly, and as the giant wings flapped, the surrounding aura became hotter and hotter. In the darkness, the king's head suddenly protruded sharp horns, full of flashing red lines, and his eyes revealed endless killing intent and banter, like a fierce and terrifying dragon in ancient times showing its huge majesty.
