【Preface】

When this country was still a barbarian land, before civilization covered this continent, the oldest legend had been recorded - at the beginning of chaos, everything was not formed, and the creator created countless rifts in order to balance the primordial energy of this world, each of which contained the most primitive and simple energy, and with the passage of time, the energy released by each rift was split and refined and lingered in this world, some of which were discovered and integrated into themselves to use, they were called 'derivative forces', The cultivation and ability of 'Yanli' are divided into seven levels: 'Zero Realm', 'One Realm', 'Ten Desolation Realm', 'Hundred Silence Realm', 'Thousand Imperial Realms', 'Ten Thousand Sects Realm' and 'Dispersion'.

Chen Yin searched for prey in the mountains as usual, today there is no catch, not even a hare has been seen, he put the wooden bow left by his father on his shoulder, the mood is a little strange, he will be 25 years old in one day, which means that he can leave home and go down the mountain, although he has never seen his biological father, he has been dependent on his mother in this deep mountain and old forest since he can remember, but in his 24 years of life, he has always had the shadow of his father- First, if necessary, you can only go down the mountain once a month, in order to purchase essential daily necessities; second, you must not leave home without permission before the age of 25; third, if you go down the mountain, you must not leave the wooden box. Whenever asked the reason, his mother would always smile and touch his face, saying that this was your father's arrangement, and in Chen Yin's impression, his mother loved his father quite much.

At this time, there was a 'rustling' sound from the bushes next to him, Chen Yin immediately pulled out his bow and wound it, and looked intently in the direction of the sound, there was another sound, Chen Yin didn't wait any longer, fired three arrows in a row, and there were three screams in response, it was the sound of a wild boar, Chen Yin frowned, what he didn't like the most was the wild boar, but there was no way at the moment, he hurried to the bushes, where an adult wild boar was lying, with an arrow on the leg and back and on the head, Chen Yin took out the dagger, skillfully made up for the wild boar, and sighed at the wild boar.

With a bow in one hand and a boar in the other, he walked in the direction of his home - a wooden house built in a cave, he had lived alone for more than five years since his mother's death, but now he felt the breath of another person in it, which he had learned from his hunting life in the mountains, and when he concentrated on the changes in his surroundings, he could perceive the breath of the animals around him, not hearing or seeing, but actually feeling. Now he felt that there was a person in the house, his breath was chaotic and weak, he slowed down his pace, cautiously approached his room, the breath inside still did not change, Chen Yin quietly looked in from the wooden window next to him, and found that there was a middle-aged man in tattered clothes sitting in the room, and there were traces of blood on his body, although he could still feel the breath of life, but it was already extremely weak, Chen Yin groped his way to open the door and approached him tentatively.

"Hey, who are you, are you okay?" Chen Yin moved forward.

The man's body moved, he opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yin, coughed a few times in a row, and almost lost his breath: "Don't move." ”

Chen Yin suddenly felt that the air at his feet condensed together, pressing on his ankles, so that he could not move, which scared him a lot, he immediately made his strength to break free, but his feet still did not move, he hunted in the mountains on weekdays, and he had developed a strong body, but he was firmly pressed by this force, this kind of power he saw for the first time, much higher than the tiger or even a more ferocious beast, at this moment he continued to jump backwards, the person suddenly coughed, Chen Yin suddenly felt the strength of his feet loosened, the whole person rose backwards, sure enough, his feet also rose with him, and he could move, but in an instant, the man raised his right hand again, Chen Yin was still in the air, and a strong force came down from top to bottom, forced him to the ground, and he felt like a mountain was pressing on his back, which made him a little out of breath.

"Don't ...... cough cough cough ...... You move again...... will die...... the man was weak, but he was able to restrain Chen Yin and make him unable to move even if he used all his strength, "You...... What are you doing here?"

"This is my home......" Chen Yin didn't dare to move anymore, and said five words with difficulty, he had been completely suppressed by the other party, this power was not only something he had never seen in his life, but it was far greater than the strength he had cultivated himself, but he didn't understand why a person with a weak breath would toss him, a healthy and strong person, so badly.

"I'm sorry, little brother," as soon as the man's voice fell, the power pressing on Chen Yin's body disappeared, he stood up and didn't dare to move in place, the man's face was pale, and the clothes on his chest were stained red with blood, "Your family...... Ahem... Is there anyone else?"

"Nope. Chen Yin hurriedly replied.

"Rest assured...... I won't hurt you, within a hundred miles," the man took a deep breath and steadied, "But there are other people?"

"There is a village at the foot of the mountain twenty miles to the north. Chen Yin swallowed to ease the tension.

"Twenty miles...... Cough... I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up," the stranger was stunned and looked at Chen Yin, "Little brother, can you do me a favor?"

"But... OK. ”

"I'll stay here tonight," said the man, stretching out his hand and taking out a piece of silver, "I won't be less than the two pieces of silver that should be given, take ...... Ahem......"

Chen Yin didn't collect the cashier, and he didn't say anything.

"You just have to find me a quiet place, and I don't have to worry about anything else. The stranger added.

"Looks like you're badly hurt. Chen Yin said cautiously.

"You know how to heal?"

"I don't understand, I feel like you're seriously injured, do you want to eat, the wild boar you just hit?"

"No need. ”

......

Chen Yin was sending the roasted meat to his mouth while staring at the stranger who was sitting motionless, and the person's breath was much calmer: "Aren't you hungry?"

The man shook his head.

"What was that to me, and why did I feel like something heavy was pressing down on me?"

The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yin very seriously: "That's called Yanli." ”

"Huh?"

"You don't know?"

"I've lived here with my mother since I was a child, and my mother only taught me to read and write, and even hunting was taught to me by hunters along the way, what kind of Yanli did you just say?"

As soon as the man stretched out his hand again, a powerful force emerged from the ground, and immediately pulled Chen Yin to the ground again.

"Not really. The middle-aged man said.

"Don't do this...... Chen Yin got up from the ground again, although he didn't feel any pain this time, but it was extremely funny, he patted the dust on his body.

"How offended...... It's also prudent to do the following," the man thought for a moment, still a little hesitant, and said, "...... Can you send me something to the capital...... I'll tell you what Diffrative Power is, and teach you how to practice it, how about it?"

"It's good, but where is the capital?" Chen Yin had been thinking about leaving here to see somewhere else a few years ago, so he had been waiting for the day he turned twenty-five, that is, tomorrow.

"You can't find ...... If you can't find it, go to the village and find the dart master...... I've got a little bit of silver on me...... Cough...... Send the remaining silver taels as your foot expenses......" The stranger slowly took out an iron plaque from his clothes, Chen Yin didn't know the words on it, and took out a jade pendant along with the iron plaque, "Send it to the Hundred Beasts Village in the capital." ”

Chen Yin took the things and looked out the window: "Is it okay tomorrow morning? At night, wild beasts are rampant in the mountains, and the road is not easy to walk." ”

The man nodded: "Then you should rest early, I will settle down too." ”

"How did you—how did you get hurt?" Chen Yin finally couldn't help asking, but the stranger didn't seem to hear, Chen Yin waited in place for a while, and seeing that he still didn't answer, he cleaned up himself.

**

Early the next morning

Chen Yin woke up, since he saw Yanli yesterday, he has been thinking about it, he thinks that if this technique is used in hunting, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort in the future.

When they came to the outhouse, the stranger was gone, a note and a few ingots of silver were left on the table, and the blood on the ground had been cleaned up.

The content of the note was very simple, and Chen Yin didn't take much effort to understand it: "I will deal with private matters first, and I will still look forward to the entrusted matters, and I will meet Brother Tai before the Jiangyue Festival, and then I will teach Brother Tai the art of Yanli." ”

Although Chen Yin can see it, he doesn't know what Jiangyue Festival is, in his cognition, only during the New Year, his mother will deliberately bring it up. But he didn't pay much attention to it, because it happened that he should go down the mountain today to buy some cloth and come back to protect the winter, simply clean up, and go out down the mountain after paying homage to his father's grave. In the early morning in the mountains, the air is humid and the fog is very heavy, almost every breath can feel the smell of fog water, Chen Yin is familiar with this place, it takes ordinary woodcutters two or three hours, he only needs an hour to reach the village like a fly. At first, the people in the village were very curious about this man wearing a hat, but over time they became more and more surprised, and some people would nod their heads in a friendly way when they saw him.

The stranger said that he wanted Chen Yin to find a dart game, but Chen Yin found that he had never heard of this name, he came to the shop where he bought cloth, the boss saw that it was him, and did not ask much, took out a few pieces of cloth and put it on the table, when his mother was alive, he would always take him down the mountain to buy cloth of the same color and material, and he still does the same.

"Boss, I want to ask where the dart bureau lives?" Although Chen Yin had spoken before, most of them were 'okay' or something like that, but this time he actually asked, and the boss was really surprised.

"There is no dart board here, there is only one Roewe dart board in the town. ”

Further north there is a Tonghui Town, Chen Yin knows, but he has never been there since he was a child, it is said that the journey back and forth will take ten days and a half months, he scratched his head, and asked: "Boss, let me ask again, when is the Jiangyue Festival?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, and thought for a while: "It should be June 28." ”

Chen Yin calculated, there were still more than three months to go, and it was completely too late, so he put the cloth on the table: "Boss, keep it for me, I'll come back and get it." ”

"Okay, forgive me for saying more, the little brother is going to Tonghui?"

"Hmm. ”

"Be careful on the road, you must find a post station to rest before dark, the recent section of the road is a mountain bandit and a big bug, if you are really in a hurry, you will recruit a carriage at the entrance of the village. ”

"Okay, thank you. ”

This is the first time Chen Yin has walked so far, he prepared some dry food, checked the token and jade pendant, after everything was ready, he beckoned a carriage and rushed away, this was the first time he had stepped out of this mountain, and now he was looking forward to the things outside the mountain.

Halfway through the road, it rained in the sky, Chen Yin was looking all the way, although the road was relatively spacious now, but it was raining, and the muddy ground made the driving even slower.

"How far is it from Tonghui?" Chen Yin asked the driver of the car.

"Far away, I can't get there today, there is a post station in a few hours, and we will rest there for the night later, and we will leave early in the morning tomorrow, and we will arrive in the afternoon." ”

"Is it big there?"

"It's big, at least a dozen of them are the size of our village. "There are a lot of fun things, all of which you can't see in the village, those who dance iron and practice kung fu, and if you're lucky, you can also see those who can use magic." ”

"Magic?"

"Ah, it's just making a fire out of thin air or letting the ground sink and rise again, they say it's a lot of money, anyway, it's fun and beautiful. ”

"That's interesting. ”

"Of course it's interesting. ”
