Chapter 1: The Corner of the Great Wilderness
The sky was gloomy, and Lin Jiayu sat absentmindedly in the classroom, without any desire to listen to the lecture. As early as more than a week ago, he asked Qin Xiaoyue to go to the library after school today, but the teacher had been grinding and chirping for more than ten minutes.
Suddenly, there was thunder outside the window, and then the rain crackled down. Lin Jiayu's heart was roaring and shouting, but the teacher on the podium couldn't hear it.
Finally got out of school, Lin Jiayu put his schoolbag on his head and ran towards the library on the wet ground. Today is Qin Xiaoyue's birthday, and he doesn't want to leave a bad impression in the goddess's heart.
Passing through the street park, Lin Jiayu naturally stepped into the Xun Hexin Building. The building connects the main road of the two streets, and most people who walk this road will borrow the road from the office building, because it saves about 1.5 kilometers of distance.
In the middle of the building, there is a courtyard of more than ten square meters, and a lush tree is planted in the center of the courtyard. Just as Lin Jiayu was passing under the tree, suddenly, a dazzling lightning bolt fell from the sky, which struck him at once.
At the moment of being slashed, Lin Jiayu only felt pain, especially pain. In a trance, he seemed to see his eyebrows burn, and immediately after, he lost consciousness.
When Lin Jiayu woke up, he found himself lying on an antique bed, and some strange little beasts were carved on the bed, like the monsters described in the Book of Mountains and Seas.
"Ahh Eyebrow. Suddenly remembering the scene he saw before losing consciousness, Lin Jiayu hurriedly touched his eyebrows with his hand, and the touch on his hand told him that his eyebrows were not burned.
After carefully examining his body, Lin Jiayu found that there was nothing abnormal in his body, as if being struck by lightning was just an illusion.
Confirming that he was fine, Lin Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief, but then another question crept into his mind, where is he now?
Lin Jiayu got out of bed, opened the door and came to the yard, where he found a girl wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans squatting in the corner of the yard. Lin Jiayu said hello tentatively: "Hello! ”
The girl heard the voice, turned her head and said, "You woke up, you have been asleep for a long time." ”
The moment the girl turned her head, Lin Jiayu lost her mind for a moment. The girl in front of her is simply too beautiful, and her unpowdered face is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is an elf in the world.
The girl has a standard goose egg face, a pair of big eyes flickering on the bridge of her upturned nose, a small mouth as pink as a newly blooming lotus flower, and a little jerky on her face.
If this grows up, it will definitely be a disaster in the world, Lin Jiayu thought to himself. In order to prevent the girl from feeling impolite, Lin Jiayu quickly withdrew her gaze from the girl, and while looking at the courtyard, she said, "Is it? I don't have the slightest impression of it myself. ”
"Well, I've been awake for three days, and you're still sleeping." The girl nodded affirmatively.
"Where is this? Didn't bother you, did you? Lin Jiayu asked.
"I don't know, I just remember that I was burned by the fire and woke up right here." As she spoke, the girl stood up and exposed the corner where her body had just been blocked, "I can't tell where this is, and this strange little thing. ”
Lin Jiayu turned his gaze and saw a small red animal flying in the air with wings flapping its wings in the corner. The little creature had a head that resembled a dinosaur, covered in red scales, and had four fanged claws on its belly, giving it a fierce look.
"This is a dragon?" Lin Jiayu asked uncertainly.
Hearing Lin Jiayu's questioning, the little guy was visibly unhappy, and spewed a flame from his mouth at Lin Jiayu. Lin Jiayu was startled and quickly took a step back.
"Hmm. Listen to those uncles, it's a little red dragon. The girl touched Xiaolong's head, and under the girl's comfort, Xiaolong quieted down.
"You just said you were burned?" Lin Jiayu suddenly reacted, looked at the girl and said with a little shock, "You don't have a scar on your body." ”
Thinking that he also appeared here after being struck by lightning, before the girl could speak, Lin Jiayu suddenly raised her voice: "Could it be that we are all dead, this is the Netherworld?" ”
"Who knows?" The girl shrugged her shoulders and said. "My name is Li Xingxing, what about you?"
"Lin Jiayu." Lin Jiayu replied.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. Li Xingxing and Lin Jiayu looked in the direction of the door, and a man wearing a gray robe with stubble on his face walked in. At the same time as entering the door, this person's hearty voice also sounded in the courtyard: "Haha, little brother is awake?" ”
Lin Jiayu smiled politely and said, "Yes." Can you ask, where is this? ”
The man in the gray robe walked to the middle of the courtyard and stopped, saying, "This is the Barren Continent. My name is Tang Poppy, you can call me Uncle Tang. Now that we're awake, let's go to dinner together! ”
Unexpectedly, this is not a netherworld mansion, and Lin Jiayu has mixed feelings in his heart. Sixteen years of memories flashed through my mind, as if I had lived a lifetime away.
Tang Poppy was very enthusiastic about them, and he knew almost everything. Soon, Lin Jiayu knew all the information he wanted to know from Tang Poppy's mouth.
The location where they are now is called the Badland Corner, the most remote island on the Wasteland Continent. The strong in this continent are respected, everyone is desperately cultivating, and becoming a strong man is almost everyone's dream.
The Tang family migrated here in ancient times, guarding an ancient artifact called the Barren Courtyard. The Tang family has been passed down from generation to generation, and every 10,000 years, the artifact Desolate Courtyard will automatically choose the owner, and the new owner of the Desolate Courtyard will protect this continent from infringement.
Because 10,000 years is too long, in the memory of the Tang family, the matter of choosing the owner of the Barren Courtyard only exists in legends, until the night three days ago, a vision suddenly fell in the sky over the Barren Courtyard.
With a sound of exploding the sky, a white light rose from the barren courtyard and reached the sky. After the white light dissipated, many fine fluorescent light floated out of the barren courtyard, and after hovering in the sky for a long time, they converged into a white dragon, enveloping the entire barren courtyard inside.
After the vision disappeared, the Tang family opened the door, and Lin Jiayu and Li Xingxing were lying on the ground in the courtyard. The oldest man in the clan said that the selection of two heirs at the same time in the Barren House had never happened in history
In order to determine this, Tang Xian, the patriarch of the Tang family, specially bathed and changed clothes, asked out of the family code, checked the records of each desolate courtyard to choose the owner, and confirmed the fact that the desolate courtyard had never chosen two heirs.
In the end, Tang Xian came to an astonishing conclusion: between Lin Jiayu and Li Xingxing, one must die.
