Tatsubuchi, a 17-year-old middle school student, was adopted by the Tatsu family after his mother died shortly after he was born. The former name was Chen, the name was originally given by his adoptive mother Chen Tai to find a fortune teller on the same street, and Chen's father thought it was troublesome, and later changed its name to the homonym of the word 'yuan'.

"This child is born with a lack of water, and the person who is prosperous is smart and kind, but Taiwang is easy to say right and wrong, wandering and greedy, and if he is not enough, he has an impermanence and is timid. On the day this child entered your Chen family, it was the fifth latitude of the star, and all kinds of signs indicate that this child will be blessed in the future, let me see... Just give the word '渁'. ”

[Five latitudes are the five stars in the sky, gold is too white, wood is year, water is Chen, fire is fluorescent, and earth is the town. 】

At the end of class, Chen Yuan was sitting on the lawn of the school, and he was sitting and resting at the moment because he had just finished the kilometer running test. Chen Yuan belongs to the physique that sweats when he exercises a little, and he is sweating profusely at the moment, and the black-framed glasses he wears can almost slide off with sweat.

Although it is not suitable to sit and rest immediately after such strenuous exercise, Chen Yuan usually does not exercise much, and now he is indeed tired, his legs are like filled with lead, and he doesn't even have the strength to stand up.

"The weather is really poisonous today, and I don't know how to pick a good time. Chen Yuan complained in his heart, feeling thirsty but weak, so he could only rest for a while.

Now the sun grew more and more intense, like a beast about to get out of control.

"Didi..."

Hearing the sound of the mobile phone in the bag, Chen Yuan slowly took out the mobile phone, clicked on a certain icon and saw that there was an email, and the email saw that the content inside was garbled.

Chen Yuan didn't delete it in a hurry, but flipped through it carefully, and found that there was an English word "ants" at the end of the text message.

Chen Yuan chuckled in his heart, thinking that this email might have been sent by that person, just because it was his own contact method with him.

Chen Yuan was thinking about how to recover the content of the email, and before he could stand firmly, his eyes fell down in response.

...

I don't know how long it took.

The sound of the slow flow of water first came to mind, followed by a cool breeze.

"Ahh..h As soon as he sneezed, Chen Yuan's consciousness gradually cleared up, and when he got up, he found that the phone had disappeared. Then he flickered his eyes and found that behind him was a river that was extremely clear, sparkling in the sunlight.

Chen Yuan suddenly felt extremely thirsty, and instead of doing it, he wanted to go up and wash his hands first, and then took two sips of it, feeling extremely refreshing.

After a moment, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a strange sound in his abdomen, followed by a burst of dizziness, his face turned pale, and some black spots gradually appeared in front of his eyes, and his consciousness became blurred again.

...

When he woke up again, Tatsubuchi found himself locked in a small and dilapidated house, fortunately his glasses were still on his body, but the frame was squeezed a little crooked.

There was a wooden table not far away, and next to it sat a young woman in a robe, not particularly beautiful, but also delicate, and was sipping tea at the moment.

"You're finally awake. The woman noticed that there was some movement in the people inside, and came over and said, "Stranger of the earth, tell me how you broke into the place where you just been?"

"What?" Chen Yuan didn't understand what she meant by asking.

At this time, the robed woman flipped her hand, and the tea in the cup floated in the air little by little, slowly forming ice flowers around Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at the scene in front of him, curious that one hand wanted to touch an ice flower, and the cold and stinging feeling instantly made him retract his hand. Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan reacted, he may have crossed over, the key is that he hasn't figured out how he got here, and what kind of place is this.

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't reply, the woman said first, "Earlier, you fell on the edge of the Jin River, and that area is not accessible to ordinary people. To answer my question, I won't be kind to you if I find out that you are hiding something. ”

"I can say, but I want to ask first what is this place, and how do you know where I came from?"

Chen Yuan learned from the woman's mouth that this place is called the Holy Realm, and it is divided into eight regions according to the region, and this location is in the border area of the Northwest Domain.

The terrain of the northwest region is complex, and the whole outer region is surrounded by layers of mountains and rivers, with mountains and mountains, cloudy and misty in all seasons, very mysterious, and has the reputation of 'easy to defend and difficult to attack'.

At this time, Chen Yuan and the woman were in a dilapidated wooden house on a hill on the border of the outer realms.

And the matter about the earth is a long story, and the woman does not intend to say more, but only a few cursory words. It was probably a long time ago that there was a passage to the outside world in the Holy Realm, and since then many outsiders have been ushered in, including earthlings, and then for some reason the passage was closed, and the people who came here were also trapped here, and then from time to time some outsiders would come in, but only in and out, like a one-way road.

"It is rumored that it was the work of a certain domain master, probably because he was afraid that the outsiders might pose a threat to the Holy Realm in the future. ”

"Am I going to have to stay in this place forever? ”

"It's not hopeless, if you can get in touch with the existence of the domain master, maybe you can find a way back. Also, after all this time, you haven't told me how you got here. ”

"I don't know, the first time I woke up, I was in the place you just mentioned, and I just drank a few sips of water from the river, and I don't know what happened after that. ”

The robed woman looked at Chen Yuan and explained, thinking to herself, "I don't think he looks like a dull person, if you want to make up a reason, it shouldn't be difficult to use this kind of excuse." ”

Then the woman said, "You drank the water of the Jin River, which is the place where the people of the Inner Regions ditch the filth of their lives. The microorganisms of the water there have been baptized by the Domain Lord's Origin Holy Power, which has greatly strengthened its ability to decompose pollutants, making the self-purification speed of the water in the Geumhe River tens of thousands of times stronger than that of ordinary rivers, and ordinary filth poured into it will not be long before it becomes clear again. However, the water in the Jin River is highly toxic to ordinary people, as long as you drink it, even the blood in the body can be purified thoroughly. If it weren't for your luck, you'd have turned into a puddle of cement!"

Although Chen Yuan had seen her ability before, he didn't necessarily believe what she said because of this, and he said it so mysteriously.

"According to you, how did I survive? Chen Yuan continued.

The woman's tone became colder, "There is a 'mirage' in your body, it should have accidentally entered your stomach when you were drinking water by the Jinhe, so you were temporarily saved for a life." ”

"What's that?"

"I just mentioned to you that the microorganisms in Jinhe that have been baptized by holy power are as mysterious as a mirage because of their water-purifying power, and the domain lord specially gave them the name 'Mirage'. However, even the strongest holy power in the Holy Realm is also affected by the energy transmission efficiency of the natural world, and the average 'mirage' can only absorb one to two percent of the energy, while the 'Mirage' is different, it can ignore the rules of the natural world and absorb to the point where it is infinitely close to ten percent, just like a brain that has developed to ten percent. However, in hundreds of years, only such a 'king' will be born, and his life will only be fifty years at best, and once his existence is discovered, it will be immediately used to dedicate to the lord of the Northwest Domain, and it was once known as one of the three treasures of the Northwest Domain. ”

The woman continued: "But it is not enough to have the 'Mirage King', if I hadn't sealed the 'Mirage' and the 'King' in your sea of thoughts with secret techniques in time, that 'King' alone would only be able to temporarily suppress the actions of other 'Mirages'. ”

The robed woman then said, "But I am not unconditional for you, I want you to make a special vow, and I will show you what to do later." ”

"What's in it for me to do that. When Chen Yuan heard the oath that the woman said, he thought about his situation for a while and said.

"You don't have room to bargain with me, I used a secret technique to save you at a great price, and the 'mirage' in your body is also a lot of temptation for me, although I am only thirty percent sure that it will be transplanted, but in the end you will die if it succeeds or not, do you want to try it." ”

"No, that's what I promised you. But what happens if I can't finish it in the end?"

"What I want to give you is a soul pact of life and death, if you can't achieve it, your soul will be broken, and you will never exist again. But fortunately, you have a lifetime to complete the goal, and in the future, you can still get its lifespan after you really fuse with the 'Mirage', which means that you can live normally to more than a hundred years old in the future, and you don't have much to lose. The woman didn't care.

A day later.

Chen Yuan was sitting on a boat at this time, and several people on the boat were drinking a little wine while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountains and rivers.

At this moment, Chen Yuan was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but he was thinking back to the experience of the previous day.
