On top of a barren mountain, in the courtyard of a grass house, sat an elder with fairy wind bones, and in front of the elder, stood five children who looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. Three men and two women, some of them are resolute, some are delicate, and although the girl is still a little immature, she can also see that she is a beautiful embryo.

The elder looked at the five people in front of him, his expression calm: "Tianwen, Ye Hua, Xue Song, Yuan Shuang, and Mu Ling." Today, the five of you are going down the mountain, and I brought you up from your parents five years ago, and I think that today is also the day you will go down the mountain. ”

Ye Hua was the older of the five, and was regarded as the elder brother among the five, so he took the lead in standing up, respectfully bowed to the old man in front of him and asked, "Master, why did you ask us to go down the mountain today? ”

"Yes, master, we are obviously still children, you can't be too demanding of us, otherwise master, your old man will definitely be lonely on this barren mountain. Tianwen got into the master's arms with a coquettish face, and it was indeed like a child as he said.

Although the five are only twelve or thirteen years old, their physical development already does not look like a child at all, except that their speech is slightly immature.

"God, it's too heavy. Cedar, who has always been silent, also popped out a sentence.

Tianwen, who was named, also stood up embarrassedly and hurriedly apologized to the master.

"Hahaha, God asked this kid to say well, indeed, going down the mountain is still a little early for you, but what you need is not a hotbed on this barren mountain, all the strong people, although most of them are born destined, but there are also many people who are achieved by the efforts of the day after tomorrow. Here, even if you stay for as long as you do, you are nothing. The master said earnestly.

The five of them were silent, although they usually listened to the master's teachings, and they also knew that the strong were not cultivated, and they were born in this world where martial arts were respected, and if they were not respected, they would perish.

Ye Hua thought for a long time, Tianwen still looked indifferent, Cedar couldn't see any expression, but two women looked expectant.

"Now, I hope you can have the last competition on the mountain, this time, everyone will be rewarded, but the first place is definitely different from the fifth place, if you don't want to get the fifth place prize, then try to win......"

Three days later, all five of them had reached the foot of the mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain was a village from which Tianwen came from, and it was the only place in the vicinity where there were still living people.

"Okay, senior brothers and sisters, my home is in this village, do you want to come in and sit down?" Tianwen, the youngest of the senior brothers, looked at the other four with an excited face.

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a chirp in the sky, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a huge phoenix-winged bird, and there was more than one, and many people could be faintly seen on it.

Not only that, but on the other side, there was another dragon groan, and everyone looked to the other side, and there were three huge flying dragons flying towards this side, which was unbelievable, just like the echo of the dragon and phoenix.

Tianwen didn't seem to be very surprised, so he could only spread his hands helplessly and said, "It seems that senior brothers and sisters, we can't go to my house to taste my parents' craftsmanship." ”

Ye Hua is the prince of the Gu Yuan Empire, and Cedar is said to be an important figure in the northern country, in Tianwen's heart is estimated to be a prince or something, although Tianwen has been with them for five years, but Cedar's personality is taciturn, maybe what he said with Tianwen in the past five years is not as much as Tianwen himself said in a day, but fortunately, Cedar never goes out of the group, but he is very enthusiastic about these brothers.

The other two are Tianwen's senior sisters, who are the princesses of the Xuanchu Principality and the Heavenly Beast Kingdom, and the demon beasts such as the flying dragon and the phoenix-winged bird are not something that ordinary people can ride. In contrast, it seems that only Tianwen has no identity, just an ordinary villager.

"God, I'm sorry, it looks like I'll have to wait for the next chance to go again. Ye Hua said with a wry smile.

"No way, I didn't expect them to be too punctual. God asks, the next time my sister goes to your house again, I haven't been home for a long time, in fact, I'm a little homesick. The curtain spirit was also embarrassed.

As for Yuanshuang and Xuesong, they also shook their heads, Tianwen didn't understand, compared to themselves, they haven't gone home for five years, and they can still go home to see when they're fine, indeed, Tianwen is too happy.

Ye Hua looked at everyone and smiled: "But junior brothers and sisters, don't forget, the agreement we made when we went down the mountain. ”

"Let me go to you after three years? Senior Brother Yehua, don't be embarrassed for me, okay, after three years, I will go out of the village at most to see the outside world, but it is too difficult to go out of our country to find you. Tianwen suddenly cried out again and again.

"Haha, then I don't care, after all, you are the master's most painful disciple, junior brother. Speaking of which, I'm kind of looking forward to the next meeting, okay, we'll see you later. After speaking, Ye Hua quickly approached the three giant flying dragons that had stopped, and Cedar also nodded at everyone and followed, Tianwen sure enough, there was a person wearing clothes that looked very similar to Cedar's clothes on one of them.

Yuan Shuang and Mu Ling also rushed to the side of the person who came to pick him up after saying goodbye to Tianwen, and Tianwen also walked in the direction of the village, although his home was at the foot of the mountain, he had only come back three times in five years.

However, it seems a little strange in the village today, because Tianwen has not seen anyone for a long time after entering the village, but there is a lively sound in the center of the village.

Tianwen's speed was very fast, and he rushed over in two clicks, but what he didn't expect was that all the villagers were gathered here, and at the same time, there were a few outsiders in front of the villagers.

"Tianwen, why did you come back? Didn't you say ......" Tianwen looked up and followed the voice, and found that his mother was standing in front.

Tianwen ran over without saying anything, hugging his mother, this reunion after a long absence is very valuable for Tianwen, a teenager.

"Mother, what is my father doing?" Tianwen was very puzzled when he saw his father talking to those outsiders.

Tianwen's mother looked at her husband who was standing at the front, and said with a worried face: "Our village is included in the scope of Heshan City, and your father is accepting the appointment of Heshan City, and from now on, our small village will no longer be without belonging." ”

"Oh, isn't that if we are attacked by wild beasts or other things in the future, we can still ask for the protection of the mountain city?" Tianwen was also surprised.

When Tianwen's mother heard this, the expression on her face was not relaxed, why should she be happy, but her face was full of worry when she came to her mother. Tianwen was also puzzled, quietly broke away from his mother's arms, and after walking in and hearing what the group of people in the mountain city said to his father, he understood why.

Tianwen heard that the people of Heshan City actually asked their village to hand over a large number of ingredients and raw materials every year, and suddenly became a little angry, and his village obviously relied on these things to be transported into Heshan City to sell to obtain Weibo inclusion, so he directly handed over to Heshan City for free every year, in order to obtain its protection, compared to the village, it can not be a big benefit.

At night, Tianwen sat at his door and looked at the sky, with an indescribable depression in his heart.

"Tianwen, what are you doing sitting at the door?" Tianwen's father walked out and sat next to Tianwen as well.

"Father, why should we be co-opted by Heshan City, in fact, we are still good and self-sufficient like before, and there are no large beasts in our vicinity, let alone demon beasts. I kind of don't understand. Tianwen's face was full of puzzlement, as if this matter did not seem to him to be of any benefit.

"God, you should be almost twelve years old this year, how long have you not been back? After a while, you will know the good intentions of your father, so go to bed early. After speaking, the father calmed Jing Tianwen's little head and returned to the house.

Tianwen's doubts are getting bigger and bigger, but he can't believe his father's attitude, more to choose to believe, in fact, Tianwen also has more important things, that is, the things that the master gave to the five of them before going down the mountain, although it is nominally a reward for the five people, Tianwen thinks that he got the one he needs the most, although it is the reward of his fifth place.

Time flies quickly, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Tianwen, who thought that life was going to return to stability, finally one day, two outsiders came to the village to break the peaceful life.

On this day, Tianwen's father got up especially early, and not only that, but other families in the village who had children who were about the same age or younger than Tianwen all got up early, and it seemed that something big had happened.

"Elder Yang, why did we go to this small village alone to awaken the martial vein for them? One of them said.

But Elder Yang didn't react, and said lightly: "Deacon Gao, what do you say, this is the task given to me by the city lord, don't you want me to disobey the city lord's orders? Or do you think your own background is better than theirs? In my opinion, there is no difference."

"It's perfectly okay to pretend to be a bunch of unqualified waste, we don't need to travel so far to come to this place where no one is around......"

"Are you brainless? If one day a person here goes to the mountain city to tell him about today's incident, and the city lord hears about it, do we still have good fruits to eat? Besides, it is just to pass on the martial scriptures to this village, and every year we have to go to other villages to find talents, you must know that this is a right that can be accepted as long as you reach the specified age and go to the city. We're just running errands, a good errand like this, as long as we get to the place, how do you think the people in this village will entertain us?" Elder Yang looked confident, and Deacon Gao suddenly realized, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, and slowly, swaggeringly walked into the village where Tianwen's family lived.
