In the twenty-third year of Daoguang, Huaxian County, Guangdong, Guanlubu Village.

It's a peaceful village with quite a beautiful view. Behind the village there are eighteen verdant green hills of various sizes, which surround it in the shape of a half-moon; In front of the village, there is a wide circular pond, which is crystal clear, and there are swimming fish, shrimp and turtles. The breeze is coming, the water waves are not prosperous, the traffic is strange, and the chickens and dogs smell each other. What a paradise scene!

It's a sunny day and it seems like a good day. But for Hong Renkun, a scholar in the village, he has no intention of watching these beautiful scenery.

Hong Renkun is a member of the Hong clan, a big family in Guanlubu Village, and is the third in the family, with the eldest brother Hong Renfa and the second brother Hong Renda. He was intelligent since he was a child, and he was very favored at home, and his family was very polite to him. On weekdays, he mainly reads and learns to write, and there is almost no need to go to the fields to do farm work.

At this moment, the third child of the Hong family just sat quietly on a big stone in front of the pond in front of the village, motionless and looking at the calm water in a daze.

If people who are familiar with him will know that this look shows that he is very nervous. And the heart is still very messy.

Hong Renkun's nervousness is justified.

Because tomorrow, he will leave his hometown of Guanlubu Village again and go to Guangzhou Mansion to participate in this year's hospital examination. Counting up, this is the fourth time he has participated in the Guangzhou Academy Examination, if he is not successful. He is almost thirty years old, and he has no face to take the exam again, and his family does not have so much spare money to provide him......

Alas.

Hong Renkun let out a long sigh, picked up a stone and threw it into the pond in front of him. I thought silently in my heart: I, Hong Renkun, was born in a family of cultivators and scholars, although my family is in the middle of the road, but I am also a scholarly family. I went to school at the village school when I was seven years old, and I was familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics and the ancient books of the sages. From a small village, my father and elders were optimistic that I could gain fame and glory to my ancestors. It's a pity...... I let everyone down. Jesus Christ, is it true that I, Hong Renkun, will not be able to gain fame and become an official in this life? The knowledge of the Confucian sage. I really can't understand the transparency? ”

What he thought silently in his heart was also very strange.

After all, he is a more traditional reader, and what he believes in should be the way of Confucius and Mencius. However, he has a good impression of Western Christianity, and although he is not devout in his faith, he also keeps it in his heart.

This is because when Hong Renkun went to Guangzhou to take the college examination several times before, he met several missionaries who came to China to preach. I talked with them for a while, and read a few books on the promotion of Western Christianity. I became interested in Christianity.

Western Christianity and Chinese traditional Confucian and Mencian studies, these two completely different cultural characteristics, are not abrupt in Hong Renkun's body......

Hong Renkun was uneasy in his heart: "I don't know if this Guangzhou hospital examination can be successful in one fell swoop." I don't have a fifth chance. At that time, you will either have to be a farmer for the rest of your life, or you will have to go to the city to find an errand to write letters for others to make a living. ”

"Third Brother Hong, what are you doing? Looking at the fish in the pond, could it be that you are hungry and want to eat the fish? Do you want to go and help you catch fish? ”

Right now. A rugged voice sounded behind him.

Hong Renkun turned his head and saw a middle-aged man about 1.8 meters tall walking towards him. This person is quite handsome, with a long and thin figure, if you just listen to the voice, I am afraid that you will think that it is a strong man like Li Kui and Zhang Fei. It doesn't have anything to do with this kind of appearance.

The peculiar thing is that this person is very long, and it hangs down above the knees like an ape. And not only are the arms long, but the fingers are also very long. And slender, giving people a peculiar visual sense.

Hong Renkun smiled bitterly: "Big brother Hei, don't laugh at me." I will go to Guangzhou tomorrow to catch the exam. My heart is so full of ups and downs, where do I have any appetite to eat? ”

This middle-aged man is called Heiguan, and he is an "outlier" in Guanlubu Village.

A few years ago, Hong Renkun returned home from Guangzhou after failing the second hospital test. On the way back, he met a homeless man who had fallen on the side of the road, ragged and half-dead.

Although he thought it was strange - this mountain outskirts. There are no villages and towns nearby, so why would anyone fall here? But out of kindness and confidence in his skills (he also practiced some boxing and kick kung fu on weekdays), Hong Renkun still gave the homeless man a sip of water to drink and a few mouthfuls of food. He was able to wake him up from his coma.

Seeing that it was getting late, the slightly sober homeless man begged Hong Renkun to take him back to the village to save his life. Otherwise, you'll wake up. In his current state, there is no way to leave, and at night in the wilderness, he can't escape being eaten by beasts such as tigers and wolves.

After thinking about it, Hong Renkun still took him back to the village. After some arguments with the elders of the clan, the homeless man actually settled in the village for a long time......

In the time that followed, the homeless man whom Hong Renkun had "picked up" told him that his name was Heiguan. In fact, it is the last generation and the last successor of the Guanshan Taibao, a secret tomb robbery organization that has been passed down from ancient times to the present!

Tomb robbing has been a strange practice since ancient times. It is also a shady deed that many people have turned their noses up. But in fact, as early as the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao set up an official team dedicated to tomb robbery in order to obtain military spending. He was even appointed to an official position.

Usually in some secret rumors among the people, there are four major schools of tomb robbing. They are the captain of the touching gold, the general of the middle of the hair, the unloading of the ridge, and the mountain movers. Among them, the first two are "official thieves", and the latter two are civil tomb robbery organizations.

But few people know, in fact, except for these four major tomb robbing sects. There is also a stronger and more mysterious family tomb robbery sect that is inherited by family and blood relatives.

It's for, Guanshan Taibao!

And this middle-aged man who calls himself Heiguan is the last Guanshan Taibao. It's just that due to a mistake in robbing a tomb in an ancient tomb nearby, he almost died in it, and it took all his best to escape. But in the end, he was unconscious next to the mountain path and was discovered by Hong Renkun......

This black view originally thought that this Hong Renkun was a scholar, and he hated people like him the most, learning the way of Confucius and Mencius. So after telling the truth, he planned to leave Guanlubu Village and repay Hong Renkun for saving his life in the future.

Where to think. Although Hong Renkun is a scholar, he is not rigid in this regard, and can even be said to be quite enlightened. Otherwise, he would not have been able to "read the sages" and at the same time be semi-Western Christian.

After knowing the identity of the black view, not only does it not discriminate or fear. On the contrary, I am very interested in the anecdotes of tomb robbing! From time to time, I let the black view talk about it, and I was fascinated by it. Sometimes I even want to go to the deep and dark underground world with Heiguan.

It's a pity that the black view will be very happy to refuse.

First, because Hong Renkun has never had any experience, nor has he undergone any training in tomb robbing, going down to the ancient tomb is a dead end. Second, since that time, he has vowed that if it is not a big thing, he will never rob the tomb again.

In short, in the past few years, Hong Renkun has established a very deep relationship with this black view. He called Hong Renkun's ranking in the Hong family "Third Brother Hong", and Hong Renkun called him "Big Brother Black......

Today, Heiguan couldn't find Hong Renkun's shadow everywhere, so he thought that he might have come to the pond in front of the village to relax. Come and look for it, it's really here!

Heiguan figured out the reason why his brother was depressed, and he also swooped on the big stone where Hong Renkun was sitting. Sit down against him. comforted softly: "Third Brother Hong, for my brother, I met you before." Traveling from south to north, it can be said that I have traveled almost half of the country and met all kinds of characters. I haven't seen anything like you. You're special, I think you're going to do something great for it! So don't be nervous, whether you can get in or not, your future will soar. ”

Hong Renkun listened to Heiguan's words. Lian Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Big brother Hei, don't comfort me." I know what I know, except for reading. I have met a few foreigners, and I know a little bit about the language of foreigners, and I understand a little bit of foreigners' religion. Nothing. Oh, if you have to say it, it's okay. ”

Heiguan didn't smile, and said, "Third Brother Hong doesn't have to be arrogant. Although you learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, you can also accept the knowledge of the Westerners. At the same time, I can understand tomb robbers like me. Hehe, such a open-mindedness and tolerance, if you can't do big things, then no one can do big things. Don't worry, my brother, my tricks are thieves and thieves. ”

Either way, people are doing it with good intentions. Hong Renkun didn't say much anymore. Just arched his hand to express his gratitude.

Tomb robber Heiguan suddenly reached out and untied a jade-like pendant from his neck, and handed it to Hong Renkun: "Give!" ”

Hong Renkun looked at him suspiciously: "Big Brother Hei, this is ......"

"This is a piece of jade pendant stolen from an immortal tomb in Guangxi at the peak of my strength. Wearing it on the body, it can refresh the mind and prevent poison. Anyway, since I put it on, I've never gotten sick. The body has always been very healthy, and it has not deteriorated with age. Now, give it to you, Third Brother Hong. I hope to bless you with a successful start to the exam! ”

He handed the pendant to Hong Renkun.

I saw that this pendant was oval-shaped, translucent throughout, showing a brilliant dazzling luster under the eyes. It's beautiful. What's even more striking is that in the center of the translucent pendant, there is a small cloud of bright red liquid substance - as if it is blood sealed inside. Mysterious, amazing.

This pendant Hong Renkun knows, it's the treasure of Heiguan, and now he wants to give it to himself? Is it used as a talisman for my trip to Guangzhou to catch the exam this time?

For a moment, many emotions flashed through his heart, and he wanted to speak, but he felt that he couldn't open his mouth. It took a while to hold back a sentence: "But Big Brother Hei, this is your most beloved thing." It's likely that it's really an immortal relic......"

He was really impressed.

Seeing him like this, Hei laughed and slapped this strange pendant on Hong Renkun's hand, and said with a big grin: "What bullshit immortal? That's all I have to say. If you are really an immortal, can you still die? Can you still have your own tomb? Isn't that nonsense? However, the Guangxi tomb is indeed strangely tight, and it is so terrifying that it is difficult to describe in words. I just walked around the tomb door and scared me back, and the tomb door seemed to have a script on it. It probably means that it is a fairy tomb with a bad temper. I guess it's just the bad taste of some guy who pretended to be a ghost in ancient times. Let's talk about the White Lotus Sect in the Jiaqing period, if Liu Zhixie can die normally, it is very likely that he will arrange an immortal tomb for himself. Ha ha. ”

Hong Renkun thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, and nodded: "What Big Brother Hei said is also true, there are too many people in this world who pretend to be gods and ghosts. There are no immortals, but there are strange people. I think that the God, Jesus, Christ, etc., that foreigners talk about, are similar to our Sanqing Patriarchs, maybe they are strange people with extraordinary strength in ancient times. ”

Heiguan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge, Third Brother Hong." Okay, take this pendant. My brother and I went back to the village, this person is very old, and he likes to spend a relaxed and leisure life. I'm waiting in the village for you to get fame and return to your hometown! ”

Regardless of Hong Renkun, he got off the rock with a sharp jump, and then walked towards the village with his hands behind his back......

"Big Brother Black, thank you. I will definitely live up to the expectations of you and my fathers and fellow villagers, and this time I will definitely gain fame and glory to my ancestors! I promise! Hong Renkun looked at the strange pendant in his hand and held it tightly in his palm.

Early the next morning, Hong Renkun, who had packed his bags, said goodbye to the villagers and clansmen who saw him off in Guanlubu Village, and turned around and walked to the pipeline to Guangzhou Mansion. He is about to officially participate in the fourth imperial examination of his life.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that in this fourth imperial examination, he will still be named Sun Shan.

What he didn't know was that from then on, a series of changes would make him extremely disgusted with Confucius and Mencius, and even disgusted with cultural knowledge, and his personality would become extremely extreme and violent.

What he also doesn't know is how powerful the power he can control in the next ten years of his life to set off a war that will sweep through most of China!

What he didn't know was what kind of terrifying and powerful opponent he would face—the other party even occupied the name of righteousness and Chinese orthodoxy. and start a multi-party scuffle and wrestling......

From the moment Hong Renkun stepped out of Guanlubu Village for the fourth time. Surge forward! (To be continued.) )
