Chapter 1: Tiandao Village
The verdant mountains are stacked on top of each other, like the undulating waves of the sea, surging and majestic.
The mountain peaks, towering thousands of miles, are like sharp heavenly swords straight into the sky, shrouded in a gray and heavy mist.
The mountains of Sichuan and Chuan, abandoned by the sun, stand gloomily in the clouds like giants full of grievances.
The mountains are black and boundless, and the cliffs stand up to the sky like axes.
The name of this mountain is "Hundred Beast Mountain".
Hundred Beast Mountain is located at the junction of two ancient cities - Xuanyuan City and Aoki City. It not only has the vigorous natural atmosphere of Aoki City, but also integrates the peaceful and refreshing beauty of Xuanyuan City.
Legend has it that this was the place where the great god Nuwa went down to help the Yellow Emperor cast a sword, I don't know whether it was contaminated with Nuwa's fairy energy, or retained Nuwa's soul.
Due to the comfortable climate and excellent natural conditions, the Hundred Beasts Mountain has also become a paradise for strange and rare beasts, monsters and poisonous insects, which is quiet and beautiful, but also full of dangers.
All things are ruthless, slaughtered, and only for their own place to grow.
......
In such a deep mountain where demonic beasts are crisscrossed, there is a group of men, women and children who live in peace and contentment, and this group of people named the place where they live - Tiandao Village.
Because of the surrounding mountains, majestic mountains, steep terrain, and many strange beasts and poisonous insects, this group of people is almost isolated from the world, and this village is unknown.
The story starts here.
......
In the early morning, a magnificent morning glow appeared in the east, wisps of cooking smoke drifted from the rooftops of the village, and the air was filled with a light veil of mist.
"The way of heaven is clear, how can he ever let one person go; the cycle of heaven, all things do not escape the six paths, life sometimes, people die in an orderly manner, people obey the will of heaven, do not go against the destiny of heaven!"
At this time, in a vacant lot in the village, a group of children of three, four or five years old were sitting around an old but energetic white-bearded old man smiling and telling a big truth.
"Hmm, what about your brother?"
The white-bearded old man's sharp gaze swept over another clearing.
There, a group of fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen-year-old teenagers greeted the morning glow, training with a broad-shouldered, tall man who stood like a stone tower.
"I won't tell you that my brother is sleeping, and my brother said that you must not tell the old village chief that he is still sleeping. A little girl with a pink jade bracelet said angrily.
The little girl was very beautiful and cute, with a pair of big watery eyes suitable for a smart and clever look, two curved eyebrows, like the crescent moon, her row of snow-white teeth showed two small tiger teeth, and two pigtails on her head.
"Your brother is lazy again, go and find your brother, today is his coming-of-age day, let him go to Uncle Zhou Tong, don't miss the coming-of-age ceremony." The old village chief said sternly.
"Oh, well!"
The little girl got up and swayed from side to side, her farts were staggering, and she stumbled out.
"No! No!"
"Don't, don't chase me!"
"I don't know what a Providential is. ”
A handsome young man was lying on the grass, his eyes closed, waving his hands wildly and shouting.
His skin was very white and delicate, the bridge of his nose was straight, with a beautiful curve, his black hair was soft and shiny, shining with a shiny sheen, but his handsome face was extremely pale at this time, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Brother, brother!"
The little girl stared at the delicate young man in front of her curiously, with big eyes.
"No, don't kill them, don't kill me, ah......"
With an exclamation, the handsome young man suddenly woke up.
"Brother, brother, are you having nightmares again?"
The little girl leaned up and rubbed the forehead of the delicate young man, and obediently stretched out her chubby little hand to wipe the young man in a cold sweat.
"Hmm!" the young man made up his mind, "Xiaoman, is there anything wrong with finding my brother?"
"Oh, the village chief's grandfather asked you to go to Uncle Zhou Tong quickly, don't miss your coming-of-age ceremony, after today, my brother will be an adult, you have to protect Xiaoman!"
The little girl smiled sweetly, revealing two small tiger teeth, and two little hands with a little baby fat kept gesturing, making a fighting posture.
"Hehe......" The young man touched the little girl's head dotingly, "Let's go!" said and picked up the little girl and ran to the village.
"Uncle Zhou Tong, I'm here!"
The handsome young man came to the training ground and said respectfully to a group of thick-cut men who were training fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Tianyang, I'm lazy again in the morning!"
"Uh...... Hey, hey, hey. The handsome boy stuck out his tongue mischievously.
"Do you know why the old village chief named you Mu Tianyang?"
"I know!"
Facing Zhou Tong's question, Mu Tianyang knew in his heart that he was the old village chief who went out hunting sixteen years ago and happened to pick it up from the foot of the Hundred Beasts Mountain.
Although he is an abandoned child of his parents, he is born with spiritual bones, wisdom roots, and excellent cultivation talent, and the village chief hopes that he can be worthy of the good conditions given to him by God, and also hopes that God can protect his children to protect his own growth, become strong, and can protect the village. Hence the name "Tianyang", with the village chief's surname "Mu".
I hated that I didn't have the slightest interest in cultivation when I was a child, and it was only a few months ago that I barely succeeded in condensing my qi, stepped into the ranks of monks, and became a fighter.
"You have been gifted and intelligent since childhood, but you are lazy by nature, you don't learn the art of self-cultivation, you don't learn the method of hunting, you just became a fighter at the age of sixteen, which of your brothers and sisters of the same age is not a warrior strength, and a few are even more in the realm of big warriors, how can you protect your clansmen and your sister in the future. ”
"Isn't there still an uncle!hehe......" Mu Tianyang laughed mischievously.
"Uncle is not as good as a cultivator in the outside world, he has no rich material heritage, no extraordinary talent, and the Great War Master is already the limit of his life, and he will always be classified into the loess one day. ”
Zhou Tong glanced at Mu Tianyang with some concern.
"It's time to tell you something, in fact, our family's original surname is Xuanyuan. ”
"What? Regulus?"
This made Mu Tianyang feel incredible, everyone knew what the surname Xuanyuan represented.
Mu Tianyang once remembered that the old village chief said that the Xuanyuan family was a mainland royal family and a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
Xuanyuan Continent is the only one who has stepped into the realm of the War Emperor, defeated the Yan Emperor in Hanquan, defeated the Demon Venerable Chi Yu Zhuolu, and each clan respected as the son of the Heavenly Dao, the first person under the Heavenly Dao.
Listening to Zhou Tong's detailed explanation to himself, Mu Tianyang only now had some understanding of the place where he lived day and night.
The Hundred Beasts Mountain is located in the land of twists and turns, with a rich source of ten thousand beasts, and is a place where all forces must fight.
Thousands of years ago, the Xuanyuan City Lord originally wanted to send troops to station, but did not want to destroy the original ecology, so he discussed the best of both worlds with the neighboring city Aoki City Lord, Xuanyuan City sent a group of spiritual Xuanyuan young men and women, to Aoki City for training, so that they become a special force, not only familiar with the habits of wild beasts, but also good at fighting with fierce beasts and poisonous insects, stationed in the Hundred Beasts Mountain, and then formed a small village, which is the Tiandao Village where they live.
"Then why don't I see that the village has contact with the outside world?"
"Originally, there was a connection, but a hundred years ago it was suddenly cut off, and our village sent a master out to contact, but none of them returned. ”
Zhou Tong shook his head helplessly, and continued: "Who knew that the Xuanyuan family was wiped out overnight a hundred years ago, and the chickens and dogs were lifeless, and now Xuanyuan City belongs to Aoki City, and I also wanted to go to Aoki City Mansion to find out, but I was ambushed by a strong man on the way and returned to the village with serious injuries." The old village chief was worried that we would be implicated in this, so he asked us to change our surnames according to our personal preferences, alas......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Tong couldn't help but sigh.
"Our village is always in danger of perdition, if the murderers who exterminated the Xuanyuan family know that there is another branch of the Xuanyuan clan living in seclusion in the deep valley of the Hundred Beast Mountain, I don't think they will let us go. You are already an adult, and you should take on the responsibility of protecting the village and protecting your loved ones. ”
"Uncle, I'm ......"
Unexpectedly, there was such a secret in it, but I saw Mu Tianyang clenching his fists tightly with both hands, as if he had made up his mind.
"Go to the back mountain, the village chief is already waiting for you there. ”
"Hmm!" After speaking, Mu Tianyang ran out.
Looking at Mu Tianyang's distant figure, Zhou Tong's eyes showed a hint of relief, but the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile.
"It's been sixteen years, and you've finally grown up!"
"Brother, wait for me, I'm going too!"
As he spoke, Xiao Man waved his little hand and staggered to follow.
Houshan is the forbidden place of Qingfeng Village, and except for the village chief, everyone can only come to this place once in their lifetime, and that is when they are adults.
It is a canyon clogged with wildflowers, and the road is uneven and full of jutting rocks, which are often carried by the cries of wild beasts.
At this time, there was an old man standing in front of the canyon, with white hair, a rickety body, and a cane, but his face was full of red light and his spirit was radiant.
"Village Chief!" Mu Tianyang said as he came to the old man.
"Babble, I'm tired. ”
Xiao Man didn't know where to suddenly get out of the bushes, sat on the ground, and pouted.
"Brother is so bad, he doesn't wait for Xiaoman. ”
The village chief smiled kindly at the two of them.
"Tianyang, you are here, the ancestral spirit statue is in the canyon, you can find the ancestral spirit statue through this gorge, you can go in with Xiaoman, in this gorge, you can see your past every step of the way, the most important thing for a monk is not to forget the original intention, stick to the heart, and feel it well!"
"Well, village chief, let's go in!"
"Babble, village chief grandpa, then my brother and I went in!"
Xiao Man's slightly baby fat body rolled over from the ground, got up with difficulty, and held Mu Tianyang's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would lose it.
The moment they stepped into the gorge with one foot, the scenery on the side suddenly changed, and Mu Tianyang saw an ordinary thatched hut, a plainly dressed couple, holding a newborn baby in their arms, happily teasing the child in their arms from time to time.
"Daddy, Mommy!"
When Mu Tianyang saw these two people, he suddenly felt a kind of kindness from his heart, and couldn't help but shout.
When he took another step in the gorge, the scenery on the side changed, the couple dressed plainly, looking at the child in their arms, their eyes were full of doting and reluctance, and then the woman carefully put the child on the bed and picked up the sword beside the bed.
The man took out a jade plaque from the box, and the two left in a hurry, and Mu Tianyang clearly saw two words engraved on the jade plaque: Xuanyuan.
"If this is your own past, shouldn't you have picked it up at the foot of the Hundred Beasts Mountain, why did it appear here, did the village chief not tell you the truth?"
Seeing this scene, Mu Tianyang couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart, and thought to himself.
He couldn't help but take another step forward.
