Chapter 1: Crossing

Next Chapter

The remnant sun is like blood, and the desert is lonely.

In the yellow sand, a caravan could be seen slowly moving towards the depths of the desert.

Everyone in the team was tightly wrapped, but even so, everyone's eyes were still almost unable to open their eyes by the yellow sand

At the end of the team was a young man with a long body and a very tough appearance, even in such a harsh environment, his resolute eyes did not change in the slightest.

Ye Ziyu's ancestors were also broad, and his grandfather's generation used to be Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty, and later became a prefect.

It's a pity that the world was in turmoil later, and the Ye family gradually declined in the troubled times.

Now the only thing left in Ye Ziyu's family is the yellowed ancient books that Grandpa Tai collected when he was an official.

Although the Ye family is poor, they have been passing down poetry and rites from generation to generation. Ye Ziyu has been learning poetry and etiquette under the guidance of his father since he was a child.

In the past 20 years, he has worked hard, although he is still not a rich and five-car scholar, but he has also developed an honest and resolute character.

The work of the archaeological team is not simple, a lot of professional knowledge in history is boring, and the working environment is very harsh, so there are not many people willing to do it in these years.

Taking this mission as an example, the higher-level departments received information from the masses that when they passed through the desert area near Dunhuang, they vaguely saw objects similar to tombstones covered by yellow sand.

So their archaeological team was sent to this place to carry out exploration work.

They walked into the desert for almost a whole day, and it was not until dusk that they reached the area where the monument had been found.

Suddenly, at the end of the team, Ye Ziyu's gaze was fixed on a small sand dune, and he saw a small dirt bag on the sand dune, which was very similar to a stele.

Ye Ziyu hurriedly trotted and ran to the small dirt bag, and he used his hands to cut off the accumulated yellow sand, revealing the objects covered by the yellow sand.

He took a closer look with a flashlight and found that it was really a stone stele, and the material of the stele looked like a large bluestone.

It is said that in the desert Gobi swept by wind and sand, the stone of this material has long been eroded by the wind.

But the big bluestone in front of me seems to be natural, and the whole body reveals a simple and natural charm. It doesn't look like it's been eroded by wind and sand.

After Ye Ziyu determined that this was the goal of this trip, he shouted to his companions in the distance, and the team members hurried over when they heard the sound.

At this time, Ye Ziyu used a flashlight to shine on the stele of this ancient monument and found that there was nothing else on the stele surface, only the word "Dao". Ye Ziyu immediately thought of an unsolved mystery in ancient China, a legendary figure who was almost mythical.

Taoist ancestor Li Er, legend has it that he rode a green ox out of the Han Valley in the west, and only left a 5,000-word mantra in the world. Since then, it has never appeared in the world, some people say that he went west to turn into Hu, some people say that the purple gas outside Hangu Pass came 30,000 miles to the east, Lao Tzu became an immortal and left, and some people say that Lao Tzu was trapped and died in the desert after leaving Hangu Pass.

And now this monument, isn't it left by Lao Tzu during his lifetime?

Thinking of this, Ye Ziyu looked at the word on the tablet again, this word was by no means artificially engraved, even with the most sophisticated modern instruments, it would never be so natural and exquisite, when he was stunned. His body seemed to be enchanted, and he couldn't help but put his hand on the word "Dao".

The finger that had just been put on was suddenly cut by some invisible force, and in an instant, Ye Ziyu's blood flowed on the word "Dao" on the stone tablet.

The Dao character in the middle of the stele seemed to come to life all of a sudden after absorbing Ye Ziyu's blood, forming a small whirlpool in front of Ye Ziyu, sucking his whole person in.

Ye Ziyu heard the exclamations of his teammates in the distance, and then lost his perception of his body.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Ziyu suddenly felt a glimmer of light, and when he was illuminated by a strong light, his last trace of lucid consciousness disappeared. But at the last moment, he seemed to see the mysterious Dao word again, only to see it turn into a streamer and crash straight towards him, and he completely lost consciousness before the word rushed to himself.

Ye Ziyu suddenly jumped up from the straw mat, and muttered in her mouth: "Wenjuan, don't go." ”

A ray of early morning sunlight shone on Ye Ziyu's face through the hole in the thatched house, which made him completely sober up.

He shielded himself from the glare of the sun with one hand, then sat down on the mat and shook his head with a wry smile, dispelling the illusion that was now out of reach for him.

Yes, he had that dream again that I don't know how many times he had for more than a year, dreaming that he proposed to his girlfriend who had been in love for many years, and the two embraced each other happily.

Ye Ziyu's original life was only because of the Dao monument in the yellow sand, because of that demonic touch, there were earth-shaking changes.

It turned out that just a year ago, after Ye Ziyu regained consciousness, he found that his body had become a child, only eleven or twelve years old, and he had actually traveled to a small mountain village in ancient times.

The small mountain village is not big, because most of the people in the village are surnamed Li, so it is also called Lijiazhuang.

The land in the village is fertile, so the villagers mostly make a living from farming, and more than 70 miles east of Lijiazhuang is a primeval forest, where the woods are dense, the mountains are stacked, and countless trees are like a green ocean.

There are many pheasants and rabbits in the mountains and forests, and occasionally villagers go into the mountains to hunt, and when they are lucky, they can also catch some hares and pheasants, and take them home to the family to open a meat.

It's just that in addition to pheasants, hares, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains, if you are unlucky, you can't go out, so the villagers rarely go to the mountains to hunt, unless they are really forced to take risks.

This is a unique and good place for Ye Ziyu, he made a few simple traps, and every time he was full of harvest.

The villagers were all drooling with envy, and they all wanted to go to Ye Ziyu to learn from him, and his reputation in the village was growing day by day.

But suddenly one day, he caught a pheasant in his trap, and when he was plucking his feathers, five men came behind him, led by Zhang Mazi, a scoundrel in the village, who came to Ye Ziyu under the leadership of the village chief housekeeper Li Fu.

Li Fu looked at the chicken in Ye Ziyu's hand, and Li Fu deliberately shouted: "Okay, I'll just say how my chickens have become fewer, it turns out that your kid stole them." After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Mazi, Zhang Mazi immediately understood, and with a wave of his hand, everyone surrounded Ye Ziyu in the center.

Ye Ziyu looked dazed, he saw that the other party was not good, and explained while looking at the gap in the encirclement: "This is my own mountain, I didn't steal your chicken." But as if they had not heard, they threw him to the ground and beat him severely.

Li Fu saw that the fire was almost over, so he walked over and grabbed Zhang Mazi, and whispered a few words in his ear, and Zhang Mazi stopped his fists and kicks stupidly.

After a while, there was the sound of gongs and drums in the village, and the splashers beat gongs and drums to inform everyone to come to see the excitement under the big locust tree.

Ye Ziyu was tied up by the splashers, and there was a dead chicken tied to his head, with chicken feathers and shoe prints all over his body, how embarrassed and embarrassed he was.

Li Fu saw that the people were almost here, so he jumped on the high platform under the locust tree and shouted: "The big guys are quiet, I called everyone here today to let everyone see that this kid eats meat every day, it turns out that he is stealing the chickens of our village chief behind his back!" Now that everyone has stolen money, I also ask my fathers and fellow villagers to be a witness. ”

Everyone in the audience began to talk one after another, and they pointed at Ye Ziyu on the stage.

There are also a few idlers who do chores in the village even said that all the game that Ye Ziyu hunted on weekdays was stolen, and said that they had already seen Ye Ziyu drill the fence of the village chief's house with their own eyes, and they said that they had noses and eyes, and everyone couldn't help but believe it.

The villagers who are usually honest and honest are speaking the most vicious words in the world, perhaps because they are ignorant, or because they like to watch others unlucky.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts, how can there be such a big chicken in the village chief's house, it is clearly a pheasant in the mountains, which is obviously the village chief's design to clean up Ye Ziyu. But what does it have to do with them? As the saying goes, I am happy when people are unlucky.

I just don't know what they would think if one day they were so unfair, and the people who were tied to the stage became themselves?

Ye Ziyu was gagged with a sackcloth, and he couldn't make the slightest sound when he said something in his mouth. The eyes are red and bloodshot, this is not only to kill, but also to punish the heart!

Ye Ziyu has had a hard time since he was framed that time. On the pretext of compensating him for the loss of chickens, the village chief forced Ye Ziyu to work as a helper in the field, and did not pay him, only giving him a bowl of sorghum rice a day.

Ye Ziyu has never suffered such a shame and humiliation when he is so old, and he secretly thought about entering the kitchen of Village Chief Li's house in the middle of the night, snatching the kitchen knife and killing all the people who framed him. But he endured it in the end, the main reason was that he was too weak now, and he really didn't have the capital to compete with these people.

However, he did not give up because of this, he was busy in the field during the day, and then went to the mountains and forests at night to place traps, and after catching the prey, he did not take it home, but directly made a fire in the mountains and forests, roasted and eaten, and then returned to the village, and no one found out that he was still hunting secretly for a year.

Today, Ye Ziyu's physical fitness is more than a little stronger than a year ago, originally only about one and a half meters tall, but after the meat nutrition kept up, it suddenly jumped to one meter seven, coupled with the high-intensity physical labor on weekdays, Ye Ziyu's muscles are also distinct.

Just as Ye Ziyu began to plan his revenge, the village ushered in a mysterious guest, and the guest also brought a roll of fire paint official documents.
