At the westernmost tip of the Eternal Continent, there is a fog that can never be seen through, a majestic mountain, in this fog, ups and downs.

Vaguely, it seemed that a red-robed figure, facing west, was sitting on the top of this majestic mountain, his silver hair was neatly tied behind his head by a delicately carved jade ring.

This carving, if you look closely, is a mountain, and it seems to be extremely similar to the mountain hidden in the mist beneath him.

At this time, it is the time of sunset, and the sunset is particularly enchanting today, as if it wants to sprinkle all its light on the earth.

"Chirp" a beam of purple light, out of nowhere, appeared in the sunset in an instant, rushing towards this mountain hidden in the mist, to be exact, rushing towards this red-robed figure.

I saw that the red-robed figure suddenly stood up, his body stood straight, raised his head, and looked at this beam of purple light.

"Crape myrtle is covered with dust, and the ages will change, is this the disaster star that breaks the pattern of the ages in the dark?" The vicissitudes of life muttered from the man's mouth, and he turned around, and there was a layer of fog on his face, which was not real.

His eyes looked to the east, and it seemed that the entire Eternal Continent, which had shrunk countless times, appeared in his eyes.

"Heaven and earth, respect the ancestors and the monarch, courtesy!" the man waved his red robe in his right hand.

On the top of the "buzzing" mountain, layers of light suddenly appeared in the mist, instantly cutting off all qi and detection power, as well as the faint existence of cause and effect.

"Brush" the purple light quickly crashed into the mountain and rushed towards the red-robed man.

I saw that the red-robed man did not hesitate at all, quickly stretched out his jade-like hands, and caught this purple light in an instant.

"Wow, wow, wow" The purple light slowly faded, and a baby boy appeared in the hands of the red-robed man.

I saw that his skin was a little dark, but a pair of teary eyes were extremely bright, and on his chest, a purple light jumped, instantly turned into a purple flame mark, flashed three times, and instantly drilled into the baby's body, and disappeared in an instant.

"Little guy, don't cry, this is your life and mine, since we can't get rid of it, let's complete the master-apprentice friendship in this life. The man said to the baby.

"Oh. For some reason, after hearing the man's words, the child suddenly stopped crying and looked at the red-robed man with bright eyes.

"Since you're from where you're from, then, let's call you Chen Gou!" said the red-robed man to the little boy.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee" the little boy actually smiled happily.

"If you like it, remember the name of the teacher, I am Li Dao, in this life, this is the first time I say my name, and it is also the last time!" said the red-robed man.

"Come with me to the Imperial City, where will be our starting point and our end!" The fog on the red-robed man's face suddenly disappeared, revealing a face that made women extremely jealous, but his face was cold, only there was a trace of warmth hidden in his eyes when he looked at the little boy.

The next moment, countless wrinkles appeared on the red-robed man's face in an instant, and he became old, and even his breath was a little obscure, as if he was about to die.

Raising his head, the red-robed man, holding the little baby, walked towards the next step of the mountain, and the whole mountain, as if with his footsteps, formed a beautiful rhythm, slowly hidden in the fog.

Fifteen years later, in the Shaking Light Dynasty, in the imperial capital of the city, there was a mysterious palace, which was difficult for ordinary princes and nobles to enter, and it was the sacrificial palace.

At this time, a kind old man in a red robe, with a simple jade ring on his head tied up his pale hair, and on the cuffs of the red robe on his right hand, there were four golden five-pointed stars, which was a ground-level red-robed great sacrifice.

Looking at his chest again, on the red robe, there is an ancient mountain hidden in the fog.

The red-robed priest sat in the palace with a kind face, staring at the ten young men and girls who were fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing uniform white robes, and their hair was neatly scattered behind their heads.

At this moment, they are reciting the grand ceremony of the sacrificial line over and over again in their immature voices, the "Sacrificial Ceremony".

Among them was a young man with slightly dark skin, but his eyebrows were clear. His clear eyes were firmly fixed on the "Sacrificial Ceremony" wrapped in brown paper in front of him.

"Heaven and earth, respect the ancestors and the king, courtesy!" The young man silently read, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had heard these words, but he couldn't remember them at all.

"Chen Gou, what are you doing in a daze, the master is going to be angry!" a childish and tactful voice came from the boy's side.

It turned out that next to the boy named Chen Gou, there was a girl with big fair skin and big eyes, who quietly reminded Chen Gou that he should not be distracted.

"Qianqian, got it. Chen Gou stretched out the tone, said helplessly, holding the "Sacrificial Ceremony", and read it carefully again.

For a long time, the red-robed priest sitting on the top raised his slightly cloudy eyes.

"Today is the end of today, three days later, I will shake the five-year document promotion conference of the Imperial Dynasty and become a clerk, which is the threshold for you to go to the sacrifice, I hope that a few of you will be able to stand out at that time and live up to the training of the teacher for many years. The voice of vicissitudes, with a hint of tiredness, spoke slowly.

"The disciple will definitely live up to the master's instructions!" said the ten people seriously.

"It's all gone!" Chen Gou stayed!" said the red-robed priest.

"Disciple retire!" The nine people except Chen Gou, including Qianqian, saluted the old man in a decent manner and slowly retreated.

When everyone disappeared and there were only two people left in the empty hall, only the red-robed priest and Chen Gou were left, Chen Gou was a little nervous.

"Is the master going to punish me for not reading seriously this morning?" Chen Gou thought in his heart.

"Buzzing" The red-robed priest stretched out his withered right hand, and the four gold stars on the embroidered robe shone brightly, and an inexplicable fluctuation instantly enveloped the entire hall.

"Gou'er, come here, come to the master!" the old man said tiredly, waving his hand.

"Yes!" Chen Gou immediately got up, approached the old man, and came to the old man.

"Gou'er, three days later, it will be the clerical promotion conference, for the teacher's hope, in the test after three days, you will fail to be promoted!" The old man's eyes suddenly shot out two bright lights at this time, and his eyes were no longer dizzy.

"What, master, why? Isn't it just that the disciple has studied hard for so many years so that one day he can be promoted to a clerk and become a sacred sacrifice?" asked Chen Gou with confused eyes.

"Remember the words of the teacher, after three days, after the end of the clerical promotion conference, from the road that the teacher took you before, immediately go out of the city, go as far as possible, and do not turn back, otherwise, you will definitely incur the disaster of death. In the old man's deep eyes, there seemed to be mountains and rivers passing by.

"Remember the words of the teacher, living is more important than anything else, only by living, can you do what you want to do, one day, you will understand, your responsibility! Now, don't ask anything, don't say anything!" The old man's eyes instantly became cloudy again, and his breath became even more sluggish.

"Go ahead, prepare for the worst!" the old man waved his hand!

"Yes!" Chen Gou said sluggishly, turning around and walking towards the entrance of the main hall in a daze.
