Chapter 1: Strange Fortune in a Mass Grave
In the middle of the night, the waning moon was gradually shrouded in dark clouds, the starlight was dim, and the sky and the earth were almost dark.
On the official road outside Luoyun City, Ye Li walked in a hurry, he looked up at the dark night sky, and wrapped the linen clothes on his body again, "This ghost weather ......"
He walked more urgently.
After about half an hour, Ye left the official road and turned into a small road. With the meager light, Ye Lishen walked shallow by foot, and began to gradually slow down.
"I think it's almost there. In the dark cavity not far away, there was the hoarse and piercing cry of the bone-eater, and a chill arose.
There is a mass grave ahead.
Ye Li's hard-earned courage dissipated almost instantly, and he hesitated to retract his steps forward.
"No, the iron pillar is still waiting for me to burn paper money for him. Ye Li pinched himself hard, secretly scolding himself for being useless, but his legs were still a little trembling.
The mass grave is a place of death in Luo Yuncheng, some people who died in vain will be buried here, if they are buried, it is considered to be a return to death; if they are thrown here at will, then it is equivalent to exposing the corpses in the wilderness, and no one cares about them at all. Over time, the mass graves became more and more eerie, and in the evening, there were almost no people here. There are even rumors that after nightfall, there is a ghost fire looming in the mass grave, which will devour passers-by.
Ye Li gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward.
The dark clouds seemed to be blown away a little by the wind, and a trace of moonlight sprinkled down, Ye Li's thin body suddenly shivered, as if a yin wind was blowing from the back of his neck, startling goosebumps.
Finally, after walking for about half a pillar of incense, Ye Li saw the messy graves of the mass grave. He paused and walked in with the paper money.
The soil on the ground was a little wet, as if it had been soaked in blood, and the sound of crackling footsteps was particularly harsh at this time, Ye Li walked cautiously, and there were dry bones scattered on the ground, which was particularly infiltrating.
"Wow!" "On the almost decaying old tree, the crow, which looked like iron juice, suddenly cried out and flew on a grave with its wings.
Ye Li encouraged himself in his heart, followed the same steps, and finally came to a low tomb.
Dark clouds obscured the moonlight again.
Ye Li took out the flint from his arms and lit the paper money.
"Tiezhu, you can go with peace of mind, eat more below, you will save me jerky when you are alive, and you must eat hard after you die, you can rest assured, the money is not enough, I will burn it for you......" The firelight jumped, Ye Li said softly
"I will definitely avenge you!" After a long silence, Ye Li suddenly said heavily, reflecting the fire burned by the paper money, his eyes were full of murderous aura.
The bone-eater bird in the distance let out a hoarse cry from time to time, as if it was gnawing on flesh and bones.
"Li Shoucai, this scumbag, I will definitely do it for you!" Ye Li couldn't help but think of the day when Tie Zhu was killed by the cane, Li Shoucai leaned over, laughed arrogantly, and even said coldly in his ear, Zhao Tiezhu has been cleaned up, and the next one is you.
"Woo woo......" There seemed to be someone crying not far away, waking Ye Li up from his grief.
He felt as if his body was out of control, and he kept shaking. The paper money was quickly burned, and the spark was swept up by the yin wind, which looked particularly gloomy.
"Tiezhu, you must bless me......" Ye Li trembled slightly, and quickly got up, preparing to leave this terrifying place.
suddenly
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
......
There was a roar of thunder in the sky, earth-shattering, and the blinding lightning like a dragon and snake shattered the dark clouds and fell from the sky. At the same time, two pillars of red light swept wildly across the sky, and another thunderous explosion was deafening.
The red light quickly spread out, covering the sky and the earth, and even the lightning turned red, which was very weird.
The dark clouds had now turned a fiery red, like a sea of fire. On top of that, there were two Taoists flying in the air, alarming the wind and clouds.
"Arrogant thief, dare to steal my spiritual object and die!" A magnificent voice turned into thunder and rolled over, the sky trembled violently, and dark clouds rolled wildly.
"Nonsense, heaven and earth spirits are virtuous, fire and thunder, even if I can't get it today, I Xiao Hongyun will never let you succeed......" There was an angry voice from the red light in front of him, and at the same time, a gang wind was like a giant blade cutting through, plowing the dark clouds into a deep ravine, almost penetrating the clouds.
"Presumptuous!" "As the name suggests, the fire thunder is like fire, and the strength is terrifying, and a roar is like the wrath of the thunder of the nine heavens, and it directly disperses the Gangfeng, and at the same time, a thunder fire carries the terrifying momentum of incinerating all things and presses it forward.
"Today is a dead ......" Ahead, Xiao Hongyun couldn't help but smile bitterly, but then a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Even if I die with you, I will never let you get this treasure!" He took out the spiritual object in his arms, which turned out to be a purple-gold hand bone, deep and mysterious, although there was no monstrous coercion, but it seemed to contain extremely deep power, moving people's hearts.
Xiao Hongyun saw through the dark clouds and found Ye Li, who was quickly running towards the mass grave, his heart moved, and the purple gold hand bone in his hand turned into a streamer and flew towards Ye Li. At the same time, Xiao Hongyun turned around suddenly, and the whole person turned into a ball of fireball and crashed towards the fire thunder, "Let's die together!" For a while, the momentum was monstrous!
"Bold!" The fire thunder was furious, and the power of the rolling fire and thunder gushed out from his palm, colliding directly with Xiao Hongyun.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
......
In the dark clouds, the red light exploded violently, as if red thunder was shuttling through the dark clouds, and the terrible roar almost shattered Luo Yuncheng.
"Is it going to rain?" Under the dark clouds, in the mass grave, Ye Li wrapped his clothes, looked up at the sky, and saw that the dark clouds were all dyed red, as if there was a blood rain about to pour, he stepped up his pace. The mass grave is so eerie, and with the red light in the sky, it really feels like going to hell. As for the conversation between Huo Leizi and Xiao Hongyun, he didn't hear it at all, without him, the voices of these two people were like thunder, and ordinary people could only hear the roaring thunder, and they couldn't distinguish the words at all.
Red thunderbolts swept through the dark clouds, even cutting through the void and smashing to the ground. Ye Li's speed was even faster, and his ears were about to be deafened. Ye Li cursed the sudden strange weather, but he didn't notice that a streamer seemed to cross the space and flew straight towards him, hitting his head in an instant.
"How...... ......He didn't even have time to react, his brain suddenly thundered, and he only saw a red light flashing in his afterglow, and he fainted directly the next moment.
The red streamer wrapped the purple gold hand bone and circled around Ye Li's right hand, and the next breath was like ice and snow melting, slowly fusing with Ye Li's right hand, and in less than three breaths, it was completely melted together, and there was no trace of abnormality.
......
By the time Ye Li woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day.
As soon as the sky was hazy, Ye Li got up and found himself lying outside the mass grave, "It's not good, you have to go back quickly, if you are found, it will be miserable......" He touched his head, which was still a little painful, and ran directly to his firewood room.
Ye Li is an ordinary third-grade family member of the Xiang family, with a low status. At the age of fifteen, perhaps due to malnutrition, he looks thinner than his peers, but his appearance is delicate. His eyes have a special verve, as if the light of the stars at night has planted roots in the pupils.
"The thunder last night was terrifying!"
"Yes, I've lived for more than thirty years, and for the first time I've been scared by thunder, and I feel like the sky is going to fall......"
Along the way, all Ye Li heard was about the thunder last night.
"Where have you been?" Ye Li returned to the Xiangjia Wai Mansion and was just about to sneak into the firewood room, but found Li Shoucai sitting on a chair in the room, looking at him arrogantly.
Li Shoucai is a young man in his twenties, but he was born bald, plus his back is a little hunched, not much taller than Ye Li, secretly, everyone calls him Iron King Ba. Tie Zhu once laughed at Li Shoucai to Ye Li, but he heard it, so he kept holding a grudge and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
Ye Li was startled, and secretly said badly, but there was no indication on his face, and he turned around and walked out of the firewood room directly, as if he hadn't heard Li Shoucai's words at all. He already has a grudge against Li Shoucai, and once he explains it, he really can't tell it.
"Presumptuous, dare to do this to me?" But Ye Li's move annoyed Li Shoucai. Li Shoucai slapped the chair and jumped up angrily, he hated it most when others treated him with such a disdainful expression, and the deepest inferiority complex in his heart was distorted and magnified at this moment, Li Shoucai's forehead was bruised, and he quickly rushed over and pushed Ye Li's back hard.
"Plop!"
Ye Li was thinking about how to fool the past, when suddenly there was a strong force from behind him, and he was caught off guard, and he fell directly forward to the ground.
"You!" Ye Li hurriedly got up and looked behind him, only to see Li Shoucai's hideous face showing a smug expression.
"Aren't you convinced? This is a lesson for you, don't forget, I'm now the second-grade family in charge of you, if I find out that you have the slightest mistake, I'll kill you! Remember, Zhao Tiezhu is still waiting for you in the underworld......" Li Shoucai clapped his hands, walked up to Ye Li, and said gloomily.
With that, Li Shoucai turned around and laughed and left. As for Ye Liye's non-return, he had already been happily dispersed at this time, and with such a punching bag, he was reluctant to waste it like this.
Ye Li's eyes were cold, he gritted his teeth tightly, resisting the urge to pounce, now he is only a third-grade family, and he can't make a move at will. Commandment to the family: Offending the superior, the rod will be punished fifty!
"I must endure it, I must not fall into his trap, otherwise my death will be small, but the revenge of the iron pillar will not be avenged!" Ye Li said to himself secretly in his heart.
He packed up his mood and started his day's work. It's good that I sneaked out and wasn't investigated, otherwise I'm afraid it would be another disaster.
Approaching evening, Ye Li finally completed today's task and began his daily exercise. Xiang Jia stipulates that those below the rank of the family are not allowed to practice martial arts, and only those who have reached 300 jin of strength or made heavy contributions to the family will be granted the qualification to practice martial arts. So what Ye Li has to do now is to work hard to exercise his strength, so that he can reach the standard of three hundred catties of strength.
Once you reach this standard and be able to cultivate martial arts, then revenge is not far away!
Ye Li came to the place where he specialized in cultivation. Domestic servants all have a place to practice their strength, but Ye Li thought that there were many people in that place, which was not suitable for cultivation, so he privately found a secluded corner where no one would go to and exercised.
There was no specific training pillar, so Ye Li found a few big stones for practice, although the conditions were difficult, but the victory was hidden in the place, and no one found it.
"Hmm, what's going on?" As soon as he picked up the stone, Ye Li realized that something was wrong.
