This is a completely empty world, where everything has no basis or reason for existence. To put it simply, everything here is just my fantasy, but it's so beautiful like a dream that you can't wake up to.

No, it should be that I don't want to wake up.

There are humans, elves, necromancy, and cave beasts.

Beyond the sky is where I live—the lockdown.

This is my own name, and the reason for such a name is as follows.

First of all, when I became conscious, I was already here.

I often stand by the window, looking out at the beautiful scenery of the wind and snow, the snow covering the whole world, and the scorching summer sun makes me suffer a lot, I admit that I have more drama, but this is also something that cannot be helped, because no matter what happens outside, I cannot intervene.

Although I often self-righteously refer to myself as the Creator, I understand that I and they are just beings living in two different cages.

Unlike their wonderful lives, it's just me here.

I can make anything with my consciousness here, but I can't summon any life.

There was no one to talk to, no one to discuss with me, it was a very painful time, I didn't know if I was still alive, I was lonely, I was lost, I didn't know the value and meaning of my existence.

So I decided to step into their world and break the cage with all my might, which I knew was crazy and would wipe me out if I wasn't careful.

But I didn't have a choice, because loneliness comes with pain, I keep trying, trying, and every time I get exhausted and want to give up, I tell myself that I may fail if I try, but if I don't try, I will only fail.

Allow me to borrow a quote from the book, to live or to perish, that's the question.

Trust me, I'm not crazy.

The reason why I push myself like this day and night is because it not only controls my freedom, but also makes me gradually lose my fighting spirit and gradually sink into the enjoyment of day and night.

But as time passed, there was no progress in the work, and I was still stuck here, and my will was gradually depressed.

There is no reason for opportunities and successes to arise.

On the tenth day of my escape, a group of people burst into the world, dressed in bizarre costumes and each with a strange weapon in their hands.

The leader was an old man, who kept shouting a name on crutches - Tianshou Chakra.

I hid because I didn't know them.

The most important thing is that I don't call it the first wheel of heaven.

The first chakra of heaven is my friend, and it is dead.

I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Zhou Tianshen!

This... It's the only one I can... recalled.

Rumble!!!

After a violent explosion, a huge meteorite fell to the ground.

The meteorite was about ten feet high, and most of its body was embedded in the soil, and the exposed surface was sparkling, the ancient patterns had been broken, and a dark green liquid flowed on it.

The impact of the meteorite falling from the sky caused the entire land around it to subside, the earth cracked, and a devastated crater appeared on the surface.

The dark green liquid slid down the mottled surface of the meteorite and into the cracks beneath it.

The crack began to glow dark green, and tiny pillars of light burst out of the crack and exploded in the air, like gorgeous fireworks, and the broken pillars of light were scattered everywhere.

Wherever the ground touched by the pillar of light began to grow dark green shoots.

Twenty miles away on both sides of the meteorite, large pillars of light were scattered together, forming two light screens, and two towering mountains rose from the ground.

A wind-swept seed fell to the top of the meteorite, soaked it with dark green liquid, and an ant-sized shoot emerged from the seed, slowly turning into a palm-sized leaf, then growing into a waist-high sapling, and finally, the sapling's branches began to thicken, and the leaves came out of the branches.

——————

The dust settled, and the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.

"Phew~. Someone pulled the reins so hard that the red horse was forced to stop.

The man asked uncertainly, "Senior, we've run so far, no one should catch up, right?"

"It's hard to say. The old man's voice came from the middle of the horse team, "If they really decided that the 'dragon scales' were in our hands, they wouldn't have been so easy to give up." I've seen too many things like people dying for money, birds dying for food. ”

One woman cried in the crowd, "But we can't run like this, who knows where the other party is hiding an ambush." We have fled from Zhongzhou all the way to Chuen Chau, we have reached the border of the mainland, and we have suffered so much, what have we gained?"

The man who spoke first yelled, "Enough!

The white horse walked to the front of the line on his horse's hooves, and the old man tightened his tattered robes and looked ahead with cloudy eyes.

The night sky is exceptionally clear, dotted with stars that shimmer faintly.

The old man seemed to have made a lot of determination, his hand holding the horsewhip was tightly clenched, and he sighed slightly: "We are not leaving." ”

"What?"

Everyone who heard this sentence was full of questions, but fortunately, the long-term attack made this team have an indescribable tacit understanding.

No one will question the old man's decision at this time.

Red Mato helped his master to the white horse, rubbed the white horse's neck affectionately, and the man asked, "Why?"

The old man smiled bitterly and did not answer the man's inquiry.

The man stopped talking, but raised his right arm and made a gesture to dismount and rest.

The people dismounted, and each went about his duty to prepare dinner.

Some people chop wood, some make fires, and some prepare food.

Probably sensing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, the woman who had been reprimanded just now came to the old man and the man's side and whispered, "I'm sorry, Senior Kou." ”

Hearing the woman's apologetic words, the old man laughed.

"It's okay, little cicada, it's none of your business, I'm really tired. ”

The old man raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory.

At this moment, an exclamation attracted everyone's attention.

Then came shouts.

"Senior Kou, Brother Zhou, come and see, I found a baby. The shout came from afar, but it seemed to be ringing in the ears.

The old man stroked the white beard on his chin and said kindly, "Listening to the voice, it seems to be the young man named Wang Buliu." I didn't expect that just over a month, his bat sound has improved so much, it's really terrifying!"

The man who was called Brother Zhou by the young man said earnestly: "This guy has talent, but he is too impatient. I haven't practiced kung fu for a few days, and I want to show off in front of others. Sooner or later, he will suffer a loss, in fact, among those of us, I am most worried about him. ”

"Let's go, let's see what good things Wang Buliu has found. ”

The old man waved his whip, and the white horse walked forward.

Before he could get to the place, he heard the voice of a young man.

"I tell you, I've never seen anything so strange since I've grown so big. I think, among us people, Kou Huai's predecessors have seen the world, maybe he can say something, but there is one thing I want to say in advance, this thing is what I saw first, according to the principle of first come, first served, it should belong to me. But who made us good brothers, if any of you are willing to bid to buy it, I can give you a friendly price, two hundred Tianya Stones. ”

"I think you're just talking nonsense here. The fat man with a white cloth on his head shouted, "Things are placed in the middle of the road, and what you say is yours is yours, and I still say it's mine." ”

"Return 200 Tianya Stones, Wang Buliu, I see that you are really out of money, if you can take out 20 Tianya Stones for me now, I will immediately call you Dad." ”

"White fat man, I think you are just looking for trouble. ”

Wang Buliu pounced on the white fat man viciously, and the two instantly became a ball.

Everyone looked at the scuffling posture of the two, and couldn't help but applaud, without any intention of fighting.

In fact, everyone understands that don't look at these two people fighting so fiercely now, but if there is any danger, they are always the first to think about each other.

The long-term attack made everyone's nerves tense for a long time, and thanks to the martial arts duel staged by these two people every day, everyone's nerves were given a short rest without collapse.

Wang Buliu exclaimed, clutched his lower abdomen and fled outward, "I'll go, white fat man, you dare to dig out my eagle's nest." ”

The white fat man straightened the white cloth on his head, and said with disdain: "What a bullshit eagle's nest, I see, it's just a little loach." ”

The crowd laughed.

"What's going on, so lively?"

The old man drove the white horse into the crowd, and everyone gave way.

The white fat man saw the figure of the old man, ran to the white horse in two steps and did one step, and helped the old man to dismount.

"Master, it was Wang Buliu who said that he wanted to compete with his apprentice, but he was beaten back to his hometown by the apprentice when he went to sea. ”

"What do you mean to be beaten back to your hometown, white fat man, you have the ability to do it in front of your master, let's compare again. Wang Buliu stood at the highest point of the meteorite with his stomach covered, quite pointing out the country.

Zhou Qian jumped off the horse and pulled Wang Buliu off the meteorite, "Wang Buliu, come down quickly, in front of Kou seniors, you must not be rude." ”

The king drooped his head, stepped aside, grinned, and said no more.

The old man ignored Wang Buliu, let alone the apprentice who had been supporting him beside him, only to see him step forward, look at the black stone in front of him, and ask with his eyelids twitching: "This is the treasure you found?"

Hearing the old man's shout, Wang Buliu raised his head and looked dazed.

Zhou Qian reminded, "The seniors are asking you." ”

Wang Buliu hurriedly ran to the old man's side and asked carefully, "Yes, this is what I found, senior, do you know this thing?"

"I don't know. But... , a baby indeed. The old man stroked the crater's cratered skin and fell into deep thought again.

I don't know how long it took, but the old man raised his head, and his eyes had become brighter, not as cloudy as before.

I saw him take two steps back, clenched his hands into fists, placed them horizontally in front of his chest, and swung forward suddenly, and a majestic momentum swept out from the old man's arm, until the wind and sand rolled up and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The white fat man looked at everything that was happening in front of him, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and suddenly fell to the ground, crying out with a 'wow', "Master, your old man has finally recovered his realm, and we don't have to hide anymore." ”

As soon as the white fat man's cry started, he was slapped by Kou Huai, "Master is back to the top, it should be a happy thing, why are you crying?"

The white fat man sobbed twice, looked at his master with tears in his eyes, and finally didn't dare to cry again.

"Senior, is this true?" Zhou Qian stepped forward and looked at the old man in front of him, he could clearly feel the majesty of the old man, which would not be dispersed for a long time, and it was by no means comparable to them.

The old man put one hand behind his back, and the other hand stroked his beard, his expression was full of self-satisfaction, and the sudden return of the realm made him feel a sense of pride in his heart, and said loudly: "That's right, the old man has returned to the peak realm - Tiankan Realm, we don't have to hide anymore in the future." ”

"Great!" everyone exclaimed, and the hardships and grievances of these days finally came out at this moment.

"But we can't go back. ”

The cheers came to an abrupt end.

"Why, why?" Zhou Qian said the question in everyone's hearts.

The old man walked out of the crowd and came to the side of the white horse.

"White fat man, the king does not stay, you watch here, and the others come with me. ”

After saying this, Kou Huai led the white horse and walked behind him.

Although full of questions, Zhou Qian still resisted the idea of asking, and led the others to leave with Kou Huai.

The white horse and the red horse snuggled together, like lovers who had been separated for a long time, cherishing every moment of togetherness.

The fire rose, Kou Huai sat in the middle, Zhou Qian and Sun Tiancian sat on either side of him, and the others sat around the fire, just forming a circle.

The light of the fire shone on the crowd, carving a low shadow on their faces.

Kou Huai straightened up and looked at the juniors in front of him, their faces were more or less slightly scarred, some were old wounds, and some were new ones.

Kou Huai cleared his throat and said, "These days, it's really hard for everyone. It should have been my business alone, but it caused everyone to accompany my old bones to hide in Tibet, and I really can't stand everyone. ”

"Senior Kou, don't say that. A thin woman in a red dress and satin hurriedly got up, the silk dress on her body had already broken a few big holes, and she looked embarrassed, "If it weren't for your righteous awe-inspiring rescue of me and Xianggong, we don't know where we would have died." If you really can't say sorry, it should be that we're sorry for you. Xianggong and I don't have any outstanding skills, and even the realm is only the lowest talent realm, if it weren't for you helping us as a couple, we would have been dead a long time ago. ”

The middle-aged man with a bandage on his arm shouted in response, "Miao Xian is right, if it weren't for Senior Kou's heart for the world, we would have died in the hands of those guys who eat people and don't spit out bones." ”

Zhou Qian turned to the side and said, "Yes, Senior Kou, you are just out of sight of us when you say this." We have been together for so many days, we have long been a family, if you have something hidden in your mind, just command, we must saddle the horse and the horse. ”

Kou Huai patted Zhou Qian's shoulder and smiled slightly, "I don't need you to saddle my horse for me now." ”

Sun Tiancian asked curiously, "Senior, what the hell is going on, why did you suddenly recover your realm?"

Hearing this, everyone raised their heads and looked at the old man with a look of hope.

"It's thanks to the stone. The old man pointed to the place where everyone had gathered just now, "If my expectations are correct, it should be an extraterrestrial meteorite, and it is the one that helped me re-ascend to the threshold of the Tiankan Realm." ”

"I don't know why, but the value of that meteorite is far greater than the dragon scales in our hands. So, let's not let that group of people know about the existence of this meteorite. ”

"What do we need to do?" Zhou Qian couldn't help but get nervous, a stone that could help others get back to the top, this was a treasure that I had never heard of.

Kou Huai stood up and looked around vigilantly, at this time he was no longer in the state he was in three months ago, any wind and grass, he could feel it, this was the advantage of the Heavenly Realm.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Kou Huai sat down again, "I think that the role of the extraterrestrial meteorite should not be to help the martial artist return to the peak, but to activate the martial artist's cultivation talent and help us reach the sky in one step." ”

Hiss~

Hearing Kou Huai's explanation, everyone gasped.

One step to the sky, this is the common wish of thousands of warriors, I didn't expect this kind of good thing to be encountered by them.

After Kou Huai waited for everyone to calm down, he continued: "I was already a seriously injured body, and according to common sense, it was impossible to return to the Tiankan Realm, but when I touched that extraterrestrial meteorite, I could strongly feel the energy contained in the extraterrestrial meteorite, and that energy kept repairing my injured meridians until they all recovered as before, and my realm also climbed back to the Tiankan Realm. But just as I wanted to continue to move forward and break through the Heavenly Barrier Realm in one fell swoop, that energy suddenly disappeared, and I could no longer find a trace. ”

Zhou Qian listened to Kou Huai's feelings, and he already knew in his heart, "You mean, extraterrestrial meteorites can help us reach the sky in one step, but the height of climbing is determined by our own talent, if I can only reach the Jizo realm in my life, even with the help of meteorites, it is impossible to reach the Tiankan realm." ”

Kou Huai looked at Zhou Qian and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhou Qian spoke again, "Although it is different from what we expected, it is a good thing to be able to reach the limit of a lifetime in one step, you must know that there are many young talents in the Tianshou Continent, even if they have super high talents, but they have also fallen prematurely due to some accidents. ”

The rugged man wearing a tiger skin skirt and a broken knife pinned to his waist said with his hands on his hands, "What Brother Zhou said is extremely true, I have been in the human realm for two years, and I originally didn't have any hope that I could advance to the realm, but now with the help of meteorites, I am a little enthusiastic." ”

On the other side, a thin young man who looked quite similar to Wang Buliu, his eyes were blazing, and he clenched his fists and said, "If you can reach the heavenly realm in one fell swoop, I don't think anyone would dare to bully Lao Tzu." ”

The man in the tiger skin skirt teased, "Heavenly realm, Wang Zailiu, your tone is really the same as your brother, one dreams of making money, and the other dreams of cultivating, no wonder you are brothers." ”

Hearing the man's ridicule, Wang Zailiu didn't care, rolled his eyes and retorted, "What's the matter? Just because you Jin Dashan can advance to the realm of the realm, you won't allow me to advance to the realm of heaven, hmph, let alone the realm of heaven, when the time comes, maybe even the realm of the gods." ”

Someone took over the conversation and made fun of the thin man's audacity, "Shen Jing? I think you are nervous." ”

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Qian smiled at the corner of his mouth and stretched a big lazy waist.

Kou Huai stroked his beard and sighed, "We fled all the way from Zhongzhou to Cunzhou, and we suffered a lot during this period, but for the safety of the Tianshou Continent, all this is worth it, and now we not only have the 'dragon scales' that control the survival of the Tianshou Continent, but also this meteorite that can help cultivators ascend to the sky in one step." If the secret of the meteorite was obtained by other sects or people with bad intentions, it would never be a good thing for the people of the Tianshou Continent. ”

The old man paused, and then continued, "I have made a decision, we must not only protect the safety of the meteorite, and never let it fall into the hands of that group of people, but also protect the secrets of the meteorite, and not bury the fate of the common people because of personal greed." ”

"Therefore, I decided to build a village here, as long as I Kou Huai lives for one day, the meteorites and dragon scales will not fall into the hands of that group of people, and the people in the world will be able to live one more day. However, this is just my decision, and as for everyone's decision to stay or not, I still have to follow everyone's opinions. ”

Zhou Qian stood up first, arched his hand to the old man and said, "My life before Zhou was saved by Senior Kou, and I will go wherever Senior Kou goes." ”

"Me too. Sun Tiancian raised his hand in response.

"Count me in. ”

"Everyone is already a family, how can someone be allowed to leave the team. ”

Kou Huai stood up and bowed to everyone, "Thank you." ”

Senior Kou said seriously. ”

————————

Zhou Qian tilted his head, his right hand crossed in front of his eyebrows, blocking his eyes, "Senior Kou, this locust tree has grown so big." ”

Kou Huai changed into a blue robe, and wore a pair of cotton shoes sewn by Sun Tiancian himself.

Kou Huai lowered his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the surface of his feet, the little cicada was really ingenious.

"Senior Kou. Zhou ago shouted again.

"Huh?" Kou Huai didn't come back to his senses for a while, and turned his head to look at the middle-aged man beside him.

"Now that the village has been built, every family has their own business, and we see more and more pedestrians, and then we have to open an inn to solicit business, and when the children grow up, they will go out to study and start a sect, but now the village doesn't even have a name. It's a bit shabby. ”

Kou Huai said with a smile, "Start a sect, just your three-legged cat's kung fu, and you still want to teach others, it's better to save it, so as not to mislead people's children." ”

Zhou Qian rubbed his hands, his face was full of stubble, his face was red, and he was a little embarrassed, "You really don't open any pot, let's talk about the name of the village." ”

Kou Huai stood tall and looked at the towering locust tree, with lush branches and endless foliage.

"Our village is called Laohuai Village. ”

————————

The scorching sun cleared, and a cry broke the summer irritability.

Sun Tiancian was sweating profusely and ran out of the village, holding a chubby child in his hand.

Kou Huai and Zhou Qian were walking in front of a farmland outside the village, and the two talked a few words from time to time.

Sun Tiancian gasped, his face was flushed, and when he ran to the two of them, he was exhausted, "Senior Kou, I picked up a child under the locust tree." ”

"Let me see. ”

Kou Huai's old hand kneaded the baby's little face, and couldn't help laughing, "This is really providential." ”

Zhou Qian asked puzzledly, "Why did the predecessor say this?"

Kou Huai handed the child back to Sun Tianciao, turned around, faced the two of them, and habitually pinched his beard with his fingers, "Now there are no children for the two of you in the village, and this baby happened to be picked up by Xiao Tiancia under the locust tree, isn't it providence?"

Zhou Qian cautiously said, "This child's whereabouts are unknown, in case it is lost by a passerby, we will take it for ourselves, I am afraid it is inappropriate." ”

Kou Huai said firmly, "Don't worry, I said it was the will of heaven, and that was the will of heaven." Think about what to name this child. ”

Zhou Qian bowed, "I also asked Senior Kou to give us a name for this child." ”

Kou Huai closed his eyes and recuperated, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes looking down at the ground.

Zhou Qian straightened up, took two steps closer, and said in his ear, "Senior, it's just a name, your drama is a bit too much." ”

"You, you. Kou Huai opened his eyes, patted Zhou Qian's shoulder, turned around and strode away, looking up and smiling.

"Let's call it Zhou Tianshen. ”
