Deep in Fengqi Mountain, a village sits at the foot of a cliff, with the village facing the Despair Cliff to the south, and a path that descends sideways from the cliff, and further south is a group of mountains that serve as the transition zone between Fengqi Mountain and Luohuang City. There are only some ordinary beasts in the transition zone, most of the people in the village hunt here, and only those senior warriors will enter the mountains north of the village, where most of them are demon beasts with spiritual power, which are extremely dangerous.

Bai Nian walked into the village and greeted the people in the village, the village only has a population of about 100, but the people here get along very well and united, those old people all watched Bai Nian grow up, and they were very sympathetic to a child without parents, so they treated him well, and those teenagers and girls had a good relationship with him and treated him as a brother.

"Brother Nian, you're finally back. My grandfather told you to come back and look for him immediately" At this time, a slightly chubby child walked towards Bai Nian, this is the grandson of the village chief, named Bai Fan, who is 6 years younger than him.

This entry into the mountain is his coming-of-age ceremony, and the people of Baicun have to go to the mountains and forests to hunt a mountain tiger every 16 years old to be considered an adult, but this time it was obviously missed because of Lin Qingyue.

"Xiao Fan, take me there" Bai Nian touched the little fat man's head and said with a smile.

In a stone house, an old man who was over half a hundred years old looked at Bai Nian in front of him, and said flatly: "You said that you saved a woman who was hunted down this time and missed the hunt?"

"Yes, Grandpa the Village Chief. I wanted to take her into the village for refuge, but she didn't want to implicate me and gave up. ”

"I'm afraid this woman is not mortal, it is rare for her to have such a mind. ”

"Grandpa, you are so powerful, can you help a group of sisters saved by Brother Nian?" Bai Fan said on the side.

"What do you know, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that my strength probably can't help" The village chief sighed.

Bai Nian also understood that they might not be able to help Lin Qingyue, and the means of incarnating outside Lin Qingyue's body when Lin Qingyue left alone were not something that the village chief could use. Thinking of the peerless smile in his mind, he couldn't forget it for a long time.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Ah Nian, it is easy to hunt a mountain tiger with your strength, and this time you will be counted as having passed the adult test. The village chief continued, "The people in the village have two paths when they become adults, one is to become a mortal and the other is to become a warrior. ”

The people of the White Village can choose to become a warrior when they become adults, but many people are not suitable for the path of a warrior, and most of them end up becoming mortals.

"Do you want to be a mortal or a warrior?"

"Grandpa the village chief, I want to be a warrior. ”

"Needless to say, mortals just have to live an ordinary life. However, the way of martial arts cultivation is a road against the sky, during which they have gone through all kinds of tribulations and fought with people and the sky, and often most of the warriors died. Do you want to go down this road even then?"

"Yes, Grandpa the Village Chief, I'm sure I'm going to take this road. The peerless figure came to mind, and he spoke firmly.

"Okay, Bai Fan, you go out first. ”

Bai Fan left the stone house unhappily, and the village chief continued: "Do you know your background?"

"My background?" wasn't he picked up by the village chief, and it was rare that there was anything else he didn't know?

"Listen to me tell me a story first!" The village chief looked at the handsome young man in front of him kindly, and sighed in his heart, what a look!

"Sixteen years ago, an injured couple came to the village, and the village took them in and helped them heal. At that time, there was a beast king in the depths of Fengqi Mountain, who often caused monster riots, attacked the village, and almost destroyed the village. In the end, it was the couple who subdued the beastmaster, and it was the village that survived. And the couple spent a year in the village recuperating and gave birth to a son. Soon after, they left the village and gave me the child for adoption, and their child was you, Bai Nian. ”

After hearing these words, Bai Nian was a little surprised, and there was joy in his heart, he finally knew a little bit of news about his parents, and he also had resentment, why his parents left him before he knew anything.

"Your parents told me before they left that I wouldn't let anyone know about your relationship with them, so I can only claim that you found it in a forest. ”

"They said that when you become an adult, if you want to be a mortal, you should never let you know this, let you live an ordinary life. And if you want to become a warrior, I'll give you these things. As he spoke, the village chief took out a ring-shaped ring and a roll of bamboo slips.

Bai Nian carefully looked at the ring and bamboo slip in his hand. The ring is carved from a round piece of white jade, and the outer ring is delicately engraved with some intricate patterns. Spread out the bamboo slip, only to see the frontispiece written "vertical and horizontal thousand laws" four big characters, the font is vigorous and powerful, sharp and sharp.

"This white jade ring should be related to your life experience, and this "Vertical and Horizontal Thousand Laws" should be the method of cultivation, I can't understand it at all, it is not something that ordinary people can practice at all, but since it was left to you by your parents, it must have a deep meaning. ”

"Is that all?" Bai Nian said a little lonely.

"Your parents didn't tell me where they came from, and I don't even know their names. But I know that your parents named you Bai Nian in the hope that you will be able to conform to your thoughts and not be constrained by the world. ”

"One thought is ordinary, and one thought is cultivation. In a moment's thought, is it all on your own?" Bai Nian sighed in his heart, his parents were really ruthless, and he left here alone.

"Don't think about it, your parents must have had a last resort to do this, and they may not be able to protect themselves at that time, so they will hand you over to me. ”

The village chief recalled those two extraordinary figures 16 years ago, and his heart fluttered.

"Your parents are very strong people, you are their heir, and your physique should not be weak, do you want to become strong and go to them?"

After hearing this, Bai Nian's eyes flashed with a gleam, only the strong can control everything in the world of martial artists, and he wants to find his own background.
