Tao Xiaozhi fell into the deep pool, constantly churning and sinking.

The pool is deep and the water is cold, and the ice is cold to the bone. But Tao Xiaozhi's blood still seemed to be boiling, his chest was still a volcanic eruption, and the spell-like fangs were still red!

This fangs are like the embodiment of fire, but they have never been afraid of water, but when they encounter water, they burn more and more, bursting out with amazing energy, like a volcanic eruption!

What the hell did it come from? It's just a fang, why does it have so much energy? Why does it have convulsions and a high fever when it turns red? Why does the fire unicorn often break into my sleep and burn me in the fire without mercy? Why does Grandpa go to a mysterious place to slaughter beasts? Why does Grandpa leave it to me, and what is his purpose? Why does Grandma always refuse to tell me about Grandpa? Why is there so many "whys" and so many "whys" Why can't I figure out any of them...... These are all old problems that have plagued Tao Xiaozhi for twelve years, and Tao Xiaozhi is too lazy to think about these things in normal times, because he can't think of one of them, and it will only increase his troubles and sadness. But when the fangs turned red, the pain crept in, and the mess began to gnaw at his brain again. Therefore, at this time, he not only had convulsions and high fever, but his head was also very painful, and the pain was like all the nerves in his brain were full of needles, and it was a burning red needle!

Every time the fangs attacked, it was when Tao Xiaozhi fought with the Grim Reaper, he always snatched the flame of life from the hands of the Grim Reaper at the critical moment when he was about to die, won the final victory, and survived. This is the will given to him by his grandfather: tenacity!

Before the age of eight, grandpa never let Tao Xiaozhi leave his side one by one, except for him to go far away, no matter where he went, the toilet or sleep, they were always inseparable. During the day, his grandfather taught him kung fu, taught him marksmanship, and went fishing, swimming, and hunting with him; at night, his grandfather taught him to read, teach him how to be a man, tell him stories, talk about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, talk about the hundred schools of thought, talk about the Three Kingdoms, talk about heroes, and talk about the way of kings...... And there is a will: tenacity!

Grandpa said that when he was a teenager, he always fantasized about going out to create the world and doing what a man should do. So, he went out of the house. He met a bandit in the barren mountains and mountains, and he was caught in the cottage. When the bandits were bored, they treated him as an object of pastime, beating him severely, not to mention beating him severely, and feeding him dog shit and horse urine! But he still did not die. He made a bet to the leader of the bandits that he would stick a sharp knife into his chest every day until a hundred and eight days later, and if he did not die, then let him go. The bandit leader agreed. The thieves stuck a knife in his chest every day, but it didn't hit the vital point, and they didn't want him to die so comfortably. One hundred and seven days passed, and he miraculously survived. On the one hundred and eighth day, the bandit plunged a large sharp knife into his heart, piercing through his heart and out of his back. He fell, in a pool of blood. However, the bandit leader still rescued him, not for anything else, but to respect his tenacious will!

"See?" Grandpa opened his chest, which was bumpy and wounded, full of large pits, rotten flesh, and severely deformed, and even the nipples were gone, like an old piece of wood that had been gnawed by termites. Grandpa pointed to the one hundred and eight wounds and said, "This is tenacity!"

This is the most terrifying chest Tao Xiaozhi has ever seen, and this is also his most feared chest, it is the best interpretation of "tenacious", a monument of will, enough to make him look up to the motto of his life!

That's why Tao Xiaozhi can still live until now, this is why when his fangs turn red, he can always defeat the spiritual pillar of death: tenacious life, the soul of will!

Tao Xiaozhi still remembers the night after he wore the fanged necklace for the first time, the night after his grandfather left him, when he was eight years old, and he fell asleep in tears with the thought of his grandfather. In his sleep, a monster covered in fire burst into his world, hissing and dancing, spewing a huge ball of fire at him. He woke up, and then, his fangs turned red, and he had convulsions and a high fever, and he was almost dead. But at the moment when he was about to close his eyes, he thought of his grandfather, thought of many things, and then, he gritted his teeth and stood up bravely.

Over the past twelve years, as this fangs turned red, the energy of the eruption became greater and greater, the time of the eruption became more and more elusive, the frequency of the outbreak became more and more, the pain he endured became greater and greater, and the odds of victory against the Grim Reaper became smaller and smaller! If it were someone else, I don't know how many times he died, but he survived, and lived happily.

Every time his fangs turned red, he didn't want others to see his pain. He hid under the bed, ran into the woods, went into the wilderness, and fought death for two or three hours (or two or three hours in a coma), and finally got up, smiled, and went back to Stone Village, and back home, he was still the most troublesome troublemaker and prankster in Stone Village, and he was still alive and well. He was happy because after each fight against the fangs, he experienced a feeling of coming back from the dead, and thus cherished life and what he had even more. A person who has died almost thousands of times, can be happy when he can be happy, and create some fun when he can't, who can predict whether he will really die next time he "dies"?

"This thing is for you!" said Grandpa, "and it will bless you in times of need." (This is what Tao Xiaozhi said on his eighth birthday, when his grandfather gave him this fang)

Will it really bless me in times of crisis? This has always been a knot in Tao Xiaozhi's heart that has always been difficult to untie, but he has always been convinced. In the past 12 years, what it has given to Tao Xiaozhi, in addition to pain or pain, in addition to torture or torture, it has always wanted to destroy him to pieces! But Tao Xiaozhi suddenly understood: It destroyed me to make me stronger, let me fight, and let me fight tenaciously! Bear the pain and fight tenaciously one by one, is this the original intention of grandpa to give it to him?

"The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world!" Grandpa touched Xiao Xiaozhi's brain and said, "You have to remember Fan Zhongyan's words, it is the way of the king!" (This is a fragment of what grandpa taught Tao Xiaozhi to read)

Bear the pain, fight tenaciously, and become the king one by one, this is what grandpa wants Tao Xiaozhi to do!

What kind of king do you want to become? the king of the stone village, the king of the world, the king of the turtle and the bastard, or the king of pock...... Can I really do that?

"As long as you wear it," Grandpa pointed to Xiao Xiaozhi's little nose, "You can do anything!" (these are the words that Tao Xiaozhi said when he gave him this fang)

Tao Xiaozhi has always worn it, because it was given by his grandfather, because with it, he can become the king!

But did it really only give him pain? As his grandfather said, it really happened to kill him in danger a few times. The thief Zhao Tu had just cut him to the ground, and when he was about to kill him, it turned red, and at that time, his injuries were not light (he was stabbed in the chest and his right foot was broken by a wooden beam), but for some reason he miraculously came back to life, and his body was full of energy! Just now, he met these damn poisonous spiders, and it appeared again! What did it want to do? Maybe it didn't want Tao Xiaozhi to die at the hands of others, so that it could slowly torture him to death.

Tao Xiaozhi is still convulsing and having a high fever, still sinking, the water is still cold to the bone, the poisonous wound is still numb, the venom is still flowing, the blood is still boiling, the chest is still hot, the fangs are still red, his head is still hurting, he is still thinking about his grandfather and the fangs, his life and death are still a mystery!
