In the midst of the ruins, a black-tailed deer was grazing quietly, when suddenly a sharp arrow shot from the shadows, hitting the neck of the black-tailed deer that had no time to react. After running for a few seconds, he fell to the ground.

At this moment, a strong man walked from the direction where the sharp arrow came. The strong man looked at today's prey with satisfaction and smiled.

"Today's dinner is here, and my wife should praise me again, haha!" The strong man laughed with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to pick up today's prey, the strong man suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something unusual on the stone platform not far away, so he walked over to check. After taking a few steps, he saw the strange appearance on the stone platform.

"It's a person?" With a surprised doubt, the strong man stepped forward.

I saw a man lying on the stone platform, with short hair, a relatively handsome face, closed eyes, wearing strange clothes, and a black stone shaped like a spoon of jade hanging around his neck. The strong man put his finger under the man's nose, "And breathing." After thinking for a moment, the strong man made a decision.

……

After a burst of medicinal fragrance, Shi Jiu slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a little girl with an ancient hairstyle, the girl was holding a bowl of soup medicine in her hand, and the spoon in the other hand was steaming hot. "You're finally awake." The little girl said in surprise.

"A-Niang, come here, he's awake." The girl turned her head and said to the other side of the room.

Shi Jiu shook his head, and then struggled to stand up, "Just where?" ”

"This is my home, you are unconscious, and my father-in-law carried you back." At this time, a woman walked in, dressed plainly, and in a gentle tone, you could feel the kind care.

Looking at the mother and daughter dressed in ancient costumes in front of him, Shi Jiu knew that something must have happened.

"You rest first, if you have any questions, let's talk about it when my father-in-law comes back, drink the medicine first." The woman took the medicine bowl and handed it to Shi Jiu. Shi Jiu didn't think much about it, and quietly began to drink the medicine.

In the evening, the strong man returned. Looking at the stout man with dark tendons in front of him, Shi Jiu solemnly thanked him.

"My surname is Li, you can call me Brother Li." The strong man said.

"My name is Shi Jiu, thank you Brother Li for saving my life."

"This is Tahou Village, I found you in the Reincarnation Tower, and you were unconscious at the time, so I carried you back." As if he knew what Shi Jiu wanted to ask, the strong man said it directly.

"Reincarnation Tower?" Shi Jiu wondered.

"Yes, it's the tower." After speaking, the strong man pointed out the window.

So Shi Jiu followed the direction and looked into the distance. It was a tower hundreds of meters high, with obvious breaks at the highest part of the tower, and many ruins scattered below the tower, even if it was far away, Shi Jiu could still feel the majesty of the tower.

"The old people in the village said that according to legend, the tower had an extraordinary origin, and it used to be able to attract people from outside the world, and then it was destroyed in a great war tens of thousands of years ago." Speaking of this, the strong man showed pity, "By the way, where are you from, and why did you appear in the tower?" ”

"I can't remember, the only thing I know is that my name is Shi Jiu, thank you for saving me, Brother Li." Shi Jiu was grateful and said seriously.

"It's okay, you stay first, I guess you hurt your head and need to recuperate. In addition, the people in our village are very nice, and I will introduce you to everyone tomorrow so that you will not have a life. Brother Li continued: "Ah, by the way, this is my wife and daughter. ”

"Call me Sister-in-law Li, you shouldn't be as old as us, my daughter Xiaolan."

"Thank you, Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li."

"You're welcome, let's go, eat. After eating, I'm getting a good night's sleep, and I'll meet the villagers tomorrow. ”

"Okay."

……

At night, Shi Jiu did not sleep. Recalling the conversation in the evening, he hid partially. "It seems that I should have crossed over, God, are you going to give me another life?" Shi Jiu remembered that he was on his way to school, in order to save a little girl, he was unfortunately hit by a car, and he didn't remember anything after that, until he woke up today.

"Since I have been reborn, then I should seize this opportunity to live a brilliant life and not let myself have regrets. If you can, well, try to find a way back too. "The goal has been set, Shi Jiu is not sad about the past, first sleep well, get familiar with the village tomorrow, and learn as much as possible about this strange world.

When he woke up the next day, Shi Jiu found that there were many more people in the room, and standing at the front was an old man with a white beard and a cane. The old man looked at Shi Jiu, and then smiled: "I am the head of this village, Xiao Lizi told us about you, don't be burdened, the people in the village are very good." Let Xiao Lizi take you into the city to see the doctor tomorrow, Doctor Ge in the city has excellent medical skills and should be able to cure your illness. ”

"Thank you, village chief." Shi Jiu said gratefully.

Then, Shi Jiu went out of the house with everyone and came outside. This was also the first time Shi Jiu looked at this strange world.

The village is not very large, the houses here are all made of wood, there is a small cobbled square not far away, and the mountains are in the distance. The pale sky, the dark clouds, and of course, the most conspicuous thing is the towering Reincarnation Tower in the distance, although it has been broken for 10,000 years and is full of ruins, you can still feel its simplicity and majesty.

While looking at this strange everything, Shi Jiu also felt that there was a faint, special thing permeating here, although he couldn't see it, he could feel it. Shi Jiu was secretly curious in his heart, this world and the earth are really different.

"Village Chief, I feel something very special around me, although I can't touch it, I can feel it." Shi Jiu asked.

"Oh? Are you sure? Can you really feel it? The village chief asked in surprise.

"Well, yes. And I kind of like it. Shi Jiu replied honestly.

"It seems that you are really not an ordinary person, the thing you feel is called the underworld, which is unique to our underworld." The village chief looked at Shi Jiu and said.

"I don't know much about the Immortal Yuan, but it is necessary for the cultivation of the strong. The strong guide the Shen Yuan to cultivate the exercises, and when practiced to the extreme, he can go to heaven and earth, and he can do anything. And ordinary people can't feel it, but everything that can feel it is the dragon and phoenix among people. After speaking, a trace of envy appeared on the village chief's face.

"You can feel it, it means that you come from an extraordinary background, maybe you have the potential to become a strong person. The city lord of Liushan City, where you are going tomorrow, is a strong man who can cultivate the Immortal Yuan. ”

"Hades." Shi Jiu nodded thoughtfully.

After that, under the leadership of the village chief, Shi Jiu walked around the village and outside the village, and learned more about the village. Tahou Village, a village with simple folk customs, is named because it is not far from the Reincarnation Tower, and is under the jurisdiction of Liushan City.

Then, the village chief pointed to the mountains in the north of the village: "That's the Hengduan Mountain Range, and there are a lot of underworld beasts in it. The underworld beast has a pluto core in its body, the pit core is very valuable, and it is very helpful to cultivators, our village is not far from the Hengduan Mountain Range, so there are often people who hunt pit beasts passing by our village. ”

"It's a pity that there are no cultivators in our village, otherwise we would be able to go into the mountains to kill the beasts." After speaking, the village chief sighed.

The village chief's words made Shi Jiu's heart uncalm for a while.

"This is the underworld, where people go when they die? Do myths and legends come to life? It's different from what I imagined, why didn't I see King Yama? It seems that there is some basis for myths and legends. Shi Jiu pondered the village chief's words, "Cultivating the Immortal Yuan and becoming a strong person may be able to find a way to go back." Shi Jiu had a thought in his heart.

At this time, the village chief looked at Shi Jiu, who was thinking, and said with a smile: "When you recover your memory, you may be able to cultivate." By the way, enter the city tomorrow, follow Xiao Lizi and them, and come back as soon as possible after the matter is done. Recently, horse bandits have been rampant, and the city lord is suppressing bandits, and safety comes first. ”

"Thank you, village chief, I remember." Shi Jiu replied.

"Don't worry, village chief, my little plum is doing things, aren't you still at ease? I'll come back when I'm done. Brother Li, a strong man, said confidently.

……

At night, Shi Jiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

"In my previous life, I liked to read fantasy novels, and I also fantasized about it, but now God has given me the opportunity to be reborn in the underworld, then I want to become a strong man and escape the world!" At the same time as Shi Jiu's heart was happy, the black spoon jade worn on his chest flashed imperceptibly, and then returned to calm.
