Life is a lifetime, grass and trees are autumn, life is only a few decades, and there are very few people who can live for a hundred years. Legend has it that the gods are immortal, but no one who has life is immortal.

The lifespan of the gods of the heavenly realm is only 18,000 years, and those who are more than 18,000 years old are like mortals who are over 100 years old.

Legend has it that the gods of the heavenly realm have a heavenly tribulation in 10,000 years, when the heavenly tribulation comes, ten thousand thunders go down, ten thousand fires burn together, even if there is a true body that is not corrupt and undefeated, it will also be hit hard by the destruction of the heart and bones, and at the same time it will be reduced in cultivation, reducing the longevity, and few gods can retreat with the whole body.

If the god is nearly 18,000 years old, and his body is getting old day by day, and he forcibly bears the catastrophe of heaven, he will be destroyed and disappear.

Therefore, every time before the Heavenly Tribulation comes, there are people in the Heavenly Realm who are nearly 18,000 years old, and they will inevitably give up their cultivation and enter the reincarnation of the Nether Realm to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation; And those who are in the prime of life, such as 10,000 years old, will also measure their self-generated physique and cultivation, and if they feel powerless to cope, they also choose to give up their priesthood and be reborn in the lower realm. If you meet by chance, you can re-cultivate in the physical body, regain positive results, and regain the priesthood.

The Heavenly Tribulation does not harm the mortal body and other cultivators in the Three Realms, but when the Heavenly Tribulation comes, it will inevitably bring turmoil in the Heavenly Realm, the Three Realms will be overlooked, and many places in the world will lose their protection, and even the beings in the Demon Realm will take the opportunity to break through the shackles and disturb the world, and the world will fall into chaos from then on.

In a certain year, it was the half of Jiazi before the Heavenly Tribulation, and many great gods in the Heavenly Realm had already been reincarnated in the lower realm one after another, in order to return to the throne smoothly before the next gods.

At this time, the world is still clear and peaceful. Fengxi Village, located at the foot of Fengxia Mountain, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, isolated from the world, few people come, and there are few wars, it is really a paradise suitable for seclusion.

Outside the village, there is a river that meanders and cuts off the village from the mountain. There is no bridge over the river, and the villagers can only take the only small boat on the river. The boat was supported by a fifteen-year-old boy named Mochi.

His parents were originally an ordinary family in Fengxi Village, his father Mo Shan was originally a ferryman on the river, and his mother Yang Cuigu worked as a needlewoman for money, and lived a poor life, but the family was harmonious and happy.

Just two years ago, his parents died of illness one after another, and he had to drop out of private school to come back, and he had to fend for himself, but fortunately he had a natural divine power, his son inherited his father's business, and the boat that his father could only hold up with great difficulty. Since then, he has been going back and forth between the two sides of the strait every day, earning some ferry fare, but he can barely survive and not end up on the streets.

Mo Shan has two elder brothers and a younger brother, after the death of Mo Shan and his wife, his two elder brothers ignored Mo Qi, only his younger brother Mo Yun, thinking of Mo Qi's loneliness and helplessness, often gave financial assistance.

The house of the two families was originally separated by a wall, but since the death of Mo Shan and his wife, Mo Yun demolished the middle wall and sealed the gate that originally entered the courtyard of Mo Qi's house.

So, the two courtyards became one courtyard, and the two homes became one home, so that it was convenient for him to take care of this hard-working child. When Mochi came back from the boat, when he was exhausted, he ate at his uncle's house; At noon on the river, it was also his uncle or cousin Mo Zhenzhen who brought him food.

On this day, it was another sunny day, and Mochi was still ferrying.

It was a busy morning, and after noon, when few people crossed the river, Mochi took refuge in a small cave not far from the shore.

The cave seems to have been made for the river ferrymen, and the space is large enough and close to the shore to shelter from the wind and rain, and you can clearly see the ferrymen coming and going.

Mo Qi cleaned up the cave, cleaned up the rubble, pulled out the weeds, made a stone bed on the terrain in the cave, spread a tattered quilt, and could lie on the bed to rest when he was tired.

After lying down for a long time, I didn't feel that my upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and suddenly I heard a crisp shout from outside: "Xiao Mo, it's time to start." As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that it was the concubine of Lu Yuanwai's family.

Lu Yuanwai's family has a lot of land and land, and he has some family resources. However, Lu Yuanwai is generous, willing to give, and is famous far and wide.

Take the ferry as an example, it was originally a clear price, but Lu Yuanwai understood that Mo Qi was lonely and helpless, and his life was not easy, so he gave an extra ten copper coins every time.

Therefore, he is willing to ferry Lu Yuanwai and his family, especially Lu Xiaoyue, the daughter of the concubine Chunlan. Xiaoyue is eleven years old this year, and she looks so well-behaved and tender, and she always wants to pinch and take a bite when she looks at it. The ignorant boy is very fascinated every time he watches it, and he thinks about it.

In his opinion, marrying a daughter-in-law should marry someone like Xiaoyue, who is smart and well-proportioned. The melon seed face is white and pure, white and red, the cherry lips outline the moving colors and curves, the eyebrows and eyes are smart, and the eyes are always watery and pitiful.

Unlike Xiu'er in the east of the village, her hair is messy all day long, like a puff of weeds; The face is always dirty, and there is always redness and dirt that cannot be erased. The clothes were ragged, dirty and smelly.

The most terrible thing is that she still has two lines of snot hanging under her nose, which come and go as she breathes, and every time I see her, my scalp is numb, and I always want to find a reason to escape.

And Mochi always cleaned himself up, covered in plain fabric, sometimes with patches, but without a trace of dirt.

He will be very careful when he is holding the boat and working, if he accidentally gets his clothes dirty, he will immediately find a way to wipe them off, and if he can't wipe them, he will immediately go home and change his clothes.

When Mo Qi was very young, he played with a group of children such as Tian Xiu'er and Dog, but once upon a time, he suddenly began to distance himself from them and stopped playing with them.

He wanted to play with Lu Xiaoyue, but Xiaoyue rarely went out, and he was always accompanied by an adult when he went out, so he could only watch from afar. He feels that he has grown up and is very principled, and this principle is not to dislike the poor and love the rich, but to have the right aesthetics.

"Here we are." Hearing Lu Xiaofei Chunlan's call, Mo Qi reflexively responded, catapulted out, and reached the river in a few arrow steps, and then quickly propped up the boat.

Mo Qi knew that Satsuki must be with Chunlan, because he sent them there in the morning, saying that he was rushing to the market to buy some fabrics and some rouge gouache.

Mochi had been looking forward to it all morning, not wanting to come back in the afternoon. At a glance at Xiao Yue, Mo Qi's thief eyes still lit up, and the smile came from his heart, unconsciously hanging on his face.

When Xiao Yue saw him, she was a little shy, grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes with a small hand, hid behind her mother, and peeked at Mo Qi from the crook of her mother's arm. She always felt that this big brother's eyes were hot, as if he wanted to eat people.

Moqi helped the mother and daughter to get on the boat and sit down, and he stood at the stern of the boat, humming a song leisurely, and propping up the boat.

Normally, he only needs a few strokes to shake it over, but in this situation, he can't exert his strength, or he is reluctant to exert himself.

The scenery along the way was extremely beautiful today, so he looked left and right, and his eyes sometimes slid over Xiao Yue.

"Mrs. Lu, I want to marry Xiaoyue." The ghost made a difference, and Mo Qi suddenly looked at Chunlan and said. After saying that, he was scared and his face was red, but he looked at Chunlan so confidently, as if he was dead.

When Satsuki heard this, she blushed and buried her little head completely in her mother's arms.

Chunlan was angry and annoyed, gently patted Xiaoyue's back, and spat at Mo Qi from afar: "Phew, the toad wants to eat swan meat, don't say that our Xiaoyue is still a child, even if she grows up, one day she will marry someone, and she will not marry you, you pee on yourself, see where you are matched with our Xiaoyue?" The right door? Talented and good-looking? I don't think you should be delusional, the idea of beating Tian Jia Xiu'er in the east of the village is more practical. ”

At the mention of Tian Xiu'er, Mo Qi unconsciously retched. He felt that he was humiliated, and his heart was a little blocked, but he hadn't thought about the disparity in status between himself and Xiao Yue before, as well as the problem of matching appearances.

"Aunt Lan, I think I'm handsome and chic, majestic, and worthy of Xiaoyue's beauty, as for the family, I'm a little poorer at present, but I've calculated, I support the boat like this every day, and in another three years, when I save enough money, I will make a big deal."

You are really angry with me, my daughter, in the future, it will definitely be the object of the rich sons who break through the threshold to propose marriage, how can it be your turn to be pursued by a poor boy, it is not worth mentioning, it is an insult to my daughter.

You're too naïve, waiting for you to make a big deal, I'm still waiting for you to be a big official. It's a dream. But if you weren't stupid, you wouldn't have said such stupid things.

Chunlan is also twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but she has also seen the world, and she has a lot of life experience, so she can change from a peasant girl to become Lu Yuanwai's concubine, most of the reason is that Lu Yuanwai is lustful, but Chunlan also used some means to facilitate it.

Chunlan thought about it for a long time, and she was not angry, but laughed: "In this way, when you save enough money to buy 3,000 hectares of fertile land and 300 houses, you can marry our family Xiaoyue at that time." ”

She set him a goal that he would not be able to achieve in his lifetime, and she was happy to see it happen, whether he retreated in the face of difficulties or wasted his efforts.

When Mo Qi heard this, he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, but he felt as if the opportunity was right in front of him, and immediately raised his index finger heroically: "A word is a certainty." ”

Xiaoyue was so anxious in her mother's arms that she cried: "No, mother, I don't want to marry him." ”

Chunlan gently patted Xiaoyue's back and smiled coquettishly: "If he really achieves his goal, it's too late for you to be happy in the future." ”

However, Xiao Yuetou stepped deeper and cried harder, and a small hand grasped her mother's back, almost tearing off a piece of flesh. Chunlan just let her play childish, and continued to smile and caress her back.

Mo Qi's heart also blossomed, "Hahaha" unconsciously laughed out loud, and a little green laughter echoed in the valley for a long time.

Suddenly, without warning, Lu Xiaoyue suddenly raised her head, and her eyes burst out with a killing intent that was extremely incommensurate with her age.

Almost at the same time, she stretched out her right hand and volleyed a palm at Mo Qi, who was getting carried away at the bow of the boat, and roared loudly: "I don't want to marry you." ”

Strange things happened, Mo Qi and Lu Xiaoyue were separated by more than a foot distance, and her little hand waved a palm, which was the effect of fighting mosquitoes, but Mo Qi felt a strong attack, and his body flew up in the air, plopped, and fell into the water.

The icy river water was biting, and Mo Qi realized that he had fallen into the water.

Accident, this is definitely an accident, harmless, fortunately, the water is good, and the legs are cut and kicked, and they are about to surface.

However, something even stranger happened, he felt a small hand gently press on his head, and he pushed it hard, but he couldn't break away, as if his head was sealed.

He tried to break free of the little hand again, but he couldn't shake it off, and the same went left and right, and the suffocation and oppression came violently, prompting him to struggle even more violently.

On the boat, Chunlan was stunned by this sudden change, watching her always well-behaved daughter become so crazy in an instant, she couldn't believe her eyes, she didn't even know how Satsuki broke free from her embrace and rushed to the side of the boat, her head buzzed and blank.

At this moment, the sound of the splash of water from Moqi's struggle on the side of the boat suddenly woke her up, and she immediately rushed over, grabbed her daughter's hand that was pressing Moqi's head and pulled it hard, and at the same time almost cried out: "Daughter, let go, he will drown." ”

However, she couldn't shake the delicate little hand with all her strength, and at the same time, she was desperate to find that Xiao Yue's eyes were faintly glowing with red light, and the red light revealed a chill and a breath of death.

Moqi in the water still struggled desperately but to no avail, suffocating for a while, for the first time in his life, he felt like he was going to die, and he finally experienced the feeling of being infinitely close to death.

At this time, he finally realized that it was the little goblin who wanted his life, but where did she get so much strength? Could it be that she is really a goblin? But it doesn't seem to matter anymore.

Just when Chunlan was on the verge of despair and Mo Qi was on the verge of giving up, a dull roar came from underwater, long and long, as if it came from the bottom of the river or even the bottom of the mud layer under the river, the depths of hell, and the chill brought by it soaked into the bones.

The waves on the surface of the water are centered on Mochi, protruding upwards and spreading out in all directions. With another low roar that resounded through the sky, a golden dragon burst out of the water, with Moqi's body on its head, and swirled in mid-air, allowing the water droplets to slide down, and a light rain fell in the air.

The golden dragon snaked in mid-air and landed to place Mochi on the shore. Then he turned his head to look at Xiao Yue on the boat, and there was a refreshing chill in his fist-sized eyes.

Without hesitation, the dragon raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar, soared into the sky, turned around in midair, and pounced on the boat from top to bottom.

When the dragon came up from the bottom of the water, it brought up a violent force and overturned Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue lay on her back on the boat, the red light in her eyes disappeared, because of the pain and fear, she was already crying, and the fierce means and momentum that had just erupted were like two people.

Chunlan's whole person was stunned, too many things that happened in an instant just now were still blocked in Chunlan's mind, and she couldn't digest it for the time being. However, as if out of instinct, she had already flown over, picked up Satsuki, and held her in her arms.

The next moment, in Chunlan's exclamation, the dragon took the mother and daughter in her mouth, soared into the air, and moved up and down in mid-air, frightening Chunlan to scream again and again, and Lu Xiaoyue even put her head into her mother's arms and cried.

Mochi on the shore stared blankly at the dragon flying up and down in mid-air, a little puzzled.

Although he had never seen a dragon, the first time he saw the object, he almost didn't hesitate to think it was a dragon.

But what happened today was so weird. First, Lu Xiaoyue threw him into the water through the air, and then went crazy and wanted to kill him, and then the legendary dragon appeared.

The dragon appeared as if to save him. But he didn't understand why the dragon wanted to save himself. Not related to each other.

What's even more shocking is that the dragon's subsequent actions seem to be trying to kill the mother and daughter.

Xiao Yue's series of abnormal behaviors just now really scared him, and he still has palpitations in his heart, and he seems to have the idea of letting her die, but after thinking about it carefully, he feels that it is a pity to die.

But everything that happened today was beyond her comprehension, and he couldn't stop it from happening, or rather, everything happened today so suddenly that he didn't have time to find a way to stop it from happening.

At this moment, the dragon in mid-air tilted its head, as if it had finally made up its mind to swallow the mother and daughter, and the mother and daughter in its mouth involuntarily slid backwards. In desperation, Chunlan grabbed one of the dragon's teeth and let out a heart-rending cry.

Mo Qi finally let out a cry as if he had broken through the shackles: "Don't! ”
