In the vastness of the stars, the ancient earth is insignificant and inconspicuous.

The ancient earth is distributed on many continents, among which the eastern and western continents are the main ones, and the continents are covered with unfathomable oceans.

The Tianjing Empire is located in the eastern half of the Western Continent, from the Qindong Peninsula in the east, to the Sunset Mountains in the west, to the vast snowy region in the north, and to the small country of Longines in the south.

The Qilin Mountain Range is located at the southwestern end of the Celestial Mirror Empire, and if the Celestial Mirror Empire is regarded as a human body, the Qilin Mountain Range is like a little leg that he sticks out. The climate of the mountain range is warm and pleasant, lush all the year round, the mountain range or the cliff cliff, the majestic and precipitous, or the waterfall is a group, the majestic atmosphere, from the south to the north, the mountains are undulating endlessly, as far as the eye can see, there are fierce beasts in the mountains from time to time or high-pitched long roar or low roar, echoing in the mountains.

The end of the mountain range is close to the sea, and there have been villagers living on the seaside for generations, fishing at sunrise and resting at sunset, and there are 10,000 people so far, forming a main village "Yantou Village", and a number of small villages that have branched out on this basis.

Yantou Village is backed by green mountains and faces the sea.

Most of the houses in the village are made of bluestone, crisscrossed by stone houses, some with giant roofs to ward off predators from the mountains.

On the ninth day of September, early in the morning.

When the first rays of morning light spread on the beach, the village seemed to slowly wake up, roosters crowed, dogs barked, mixed with the scolding of village women, the village began to have a little figure busy, the staggered roof light smoke rose one after another, and people carried fishing gear towards the sea one after another.

There are many stone houses on the mountainside behind the village, the surrounding bamboo forest is dense, the bamboo leaves are verdant and dripping, and the breeze blows, like bursts of green waves.

With a "squeak", the door of the stone house in the side room slowly opened.

Qian Yu stood at the door, squinted his eyes, looked in the direction of the rising sun, unconsciously stretched a big lazy waist, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and secretly muttered to himself about the domineering of the exercises taught by Long Bo, however, looking at the busy figure at the seaside under the mountain, he suddenly felt a sense of peace in his heart, and the fatigue caused by a night of practice and meditation seemed to be swept away.

In front of the stone house is a sudden cliff, the stone flat on the cliff is surrounded by green bamboo poles into a courtyard, Qian Yu practiced a simple set of warm-up fists and kicks around the courtyard, glanced at the door of the main house that was still closed, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly upturned, although Long Bo taught them a few exercises, but he never saw him practice by himself.

"Today is the big day of Brother Haizi's coming-of-age ceremony, and I can't miss it. As she thought to herself, she headed down the mountain, and a large white cat came out of her side and followed.

The village chief's surname is Shen, and the "village chief" has been called for a long time, but not many people remember the name, and he has a son and a daughter, brother Shen Yunhai and sister Shen Yunshan.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of the village chief, a scoop of water in the house rushed to his face, and before he could dodge, Qianyu raised his left leg, looking surprised, and couldn't help but pout, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You girl, Qian Yu finally came down the mountain once, and you teased him again, see if I don't kill you!" Aunt Shen's reprimand and Shen Yunshan's chuckle came from the room.

After a while, Aunt Shen came out with a broom, with a smile on her face, Shen Yunshan followed behind with a snicker, stuck out her tongue at Qianyu, and a red cloud flew up on her cheek.

"Go, sweep the floor. Aunt Shen stuffed the broom into Shen Yunshan's hand and pushed it aside.

Aunt Shen is forty years away, with a strong body, exposed to the wind and sun by the sea all the year round, her complexion is dark, and her eyes reveal the shrewdness of a woman. Qianyu was raised by Aunt Shen since she was a child, and every time she saw Aunt Shen, she had a natural sense of intimacy.

"Aunt Shen, it's okay, it's okay, Yun Shan was joking with me, but I didn't pay attention and didn't have time to dodge. Qian Yu smiled at Shen Yunshan and asked, "What about Brother Haizi?"

"He, isn't it a coming-of-age ceremony today, he went to sea early in the morning, and his father went with him, he went early, I guess he should come back soon, you come in and sit down." At the mention of Shen Yunhai, Aunt Shen looked happy.

Shen Yunhai has just turned eighteen years old this year, and Da Qianyu is two years old, honest and honest, tall and burly, with bronzed skin, strong and powerful.

According to the rules of the village, the eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony requires a solo sailor to go to sea to hunt sea beasts as a commemoration, and adults can follow them to protect them.

Qian Yu followed Aunt Shen into the house, and at a glance saw a transparent tank containing most of the beast cores, the oval cylinder arc was smooth, and the beast cores in the tank were large and small, ranging from bean grains to coconut fruits, most of which were white, mixed with some light yellow and golden yellow.

These are the trophies obtained by the village chief from hunting fierce beasts, most of them are sea beast cores, mountain beasts rarely come to attack the village now, and it is said that the largest golden sea beast in the transparent tank also left a scar on the village chief's arm. The surface of the beast core is crystal lubricated, and there is a flow of light and shadow from time to time, and there is a dazzling feeling when looking through the cylinder.

Qian Yu stroked the transparent tank and smiled.

It is said that when Long Bo picked himself up, he came back with a transparent tank, and when he was a child, the transparent tank was always a bathtub for his bath, and then it was thrown away in the yard and idle, so it was moved back by Shen Yunshan to install the soul core, which was also regarded as waste.

Aunt Shen brought Shen Yunhai's clothes to Qian Yu to change into, and after saying hello, she went to lunch.

Qian Yu sat at the table, looking at the transparent tank in a daze, and the white cat was lying at his feet and napping on his own.

Since the age of three sensible, Qianyu remembers that he and Long Bo depend on each other, Long Bo is thin and energetic, but he is silent on weekdays, according to Aunt Shen, Long Bo is an outsider, more than ten years ago suddenly came to the village, settled in the middle of the mountain, rarely went down the mountain, and had little contact with the people in the village, until he picked up his own contact with the village chief, at that time he was hot, the high temperature was not stopped, but Long Bo was in a hurry, and found the village chief's house to help, everyone was also anxious, and they couldn't think of reasons and solutions, but when they saw that they had abnormal body temperature, everything else was normal, they should drink milk when they should drink, and pee when they should pee, so they were slightly relievedIn the end, Lombard attributed this phenomenon to the unaccustomed water and soil, and fostered himself in Aunt Shen's house for more than half a year, and the high temperature slowly faded, during which Lombard would go down the mountain every day to help him perform a full-body kneading massage.

At that time, Aunt Shen gave birth to Shen Yunhai, and when she had milk, she divided half of it and fed it to Qianyu, and later she had Shen Yunshan, so she cut off Shen Yunhai's milk, and from the perspective of upbringing, Aunt Shen was her own mother.

When he was three years old, Lombard began to teach himself the exercises "in his sleeves", and the exercises were strong and domineering. After Aunt Shen learned about it, she successively sent Shen Yunhai's brothers and sisters to the mountain to learn art.

There is a set of ancient exercises in the village, which was handed down by a preacher a long time ago, and the men, women and children in the village have practiced it, which can strengthen the body, and over time there are few people in the village who are sick.

More than ten years have passed, Shen Yunhai has been instructed by Long Bo, and his exercises have progressed rapidly, and his body is taller and burlier than his peers, and he can rank first in the competition of minors in the village every year.

The highest level of cultivation can be achieved through the exercises, and every time he asks Long Bo how many times he has reached the first level, Long Bo smiles and is silent, and that expression, sometimes proud, sometimes a little self-deprecating, is unpredictable.

The exercises in the village are the first three, and at present, Shen Yunhai has cultivated to the third level, and he also practices the Longbo exercises, but he has not been able to break through the first weight for a long time, until the bizarre encounter three years ago, he inadvertently broke through the first weight, but in the three years since then, there has been no progress, and he feels that his body is like a funnel, no matter how hard he cultivates, as long as there is a slight increase in internal strength, it will overflow from the funnel-like body.

Qianyu couldn't help but think of that midsummer afternoon three years ago, when the scorching sun was in the sky...

The scorching sun scorched the earth, but the tall trees in the mountains were cool and crisp, and an agile figure quickly shuttled between the trees, rustling with fallen leaves behind them.

Under a larch pine, the figure stopped abruptly, and a handsome young man appeared in shape, with a cold expression, sharp edges and corners, thick and long eyebrows, and a faint inch-long oblique scar printed slightly above the eyebrows, adding to the youthful sharpness. He was dressed in a short-sleeved beast suit, with a jade pendant on his chest, and a homemade bow, which was none other than Qianyu.

Qian Yu cautiously bent down, twisted a ball of dirt with his thumb and forefinger, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it for a moment, his gaze extended up the trunk of the tree, and with a sudden tightening of his gaze, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow rushing down from above.

Caught off guard, Qian Yu rolled sideways and squatted on the spot, took advantage of the situation to draw out a big bow with a backhand, put on a sharp arrow, and was ready to attack.

The leopard struck a failed blow, turned around and stared at the thousand feathers, and an arrow feather was inserted into the leopard's side chest, leaving traces of blood at the end of the feathers that had not yet dried.

A leopard and a person held each other for a moment, and the air seemed to freeze.

Qianyu was the first to attack, and the sharp arrow took off the bow.

The leopard grabbed the ground with its front paws, roared in its mouth, and swooped towards the thousand feathers with the tip of the arrow.

The sharp arrow grazed the leopard's neck and nailed it into the trunk of the tree behind him, and a blood flower flew up from the leopard's earlobe.

Seeing that he failed to compete for results, Qianyu rushed forward with his right toe in a hurry, straightened his waist and abdomen, tilted his head and chest back, and slid forward on his knees in an instant, holding the big bow with both hands, and lifting forward against the leopard's chest.

The leopard's wound was forced, and its body suddenly lost its balance, rolled to the side, did not stop, and turned around and ran towards the mountain.

Qianyu rolled over and got up, chasing after him.

The mountain behind the stone house is the paradise of Qianyu when he was young, the breath of all kinds of fierce beasts in the mountain can be distinguished from afar, and after a few years, the slightly more ferocious beasts have been beaten and sacrificed, and now this leopard has inadvertently bumped into it, and it can't be let go.

Looking from above, a leopard gallops along the ridge towards the top of the mountain, and in the mountains in front of him, surrounded by a huge natural lake, the surface of the lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and green trees, and under the scorching sun it is like a shining dark green gem, exuding a charming light.

At the east end of the lake, a towering ancient pine towers into the clouds, which is very conspicuous.

Qianyu climbed among the trees, breathing slightly, holding on to the tree, looking at the leopard drinking water by the lake.

The leopard let out a low wheezing sound, and the prolonged wild run once again touched the wound, and drops of blood slipped from the arrow feathers and rippled into the lake.

After drinking the lake water, the leopard licked his lips, and turned his head to look behind him, about to leave.

Qian Yu looked from top to bottom, and saw a black shadow rising from the bottom of the lake, spreading to the water's edge of the leopard, at the moment when the leopard turned around, a huge tentacle was raised high, with lightning speed, a hand wrapped up the leopard and quickly dragged into the lake, after a while, the rippling lake gradually returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Qianyu, what do you want?" Shen Yunshan finished sweeping the ground and came in with a cup of flower tea, and Hongxia did not retreat.

Qian Yu came back to his senses, looked at Shen Yunshan, took the teacup a little funny and angry, took a sip, and a burst of floral fragrance came from his lips and teeth into his heart, and he couldn't help but praise: "What a fragrant tea!"

Shen Yunshan is the same age as Qianyu, her complexion is slightly dark, she usually combs a big braid, due to her early development, she is almost as tall as Qianyu, her body is light and vigorous, and she runs like a jaguar. Aunt Shen often joked that when she was breastfeeding, she fed Shen Yunshan with her left hand, and then continued to feed Qianyu with her right hand.

Qian Yu has a very good relationship with Shen Yunhai and Shen Yunshan, and regards them as his own brothers and sisters, whenever he has a gap between cultivation, he will go down the mountain for a walk, and also feel the fun of playing by the sea, and Shen Yunshan's little tricks are also used to it.

Qian Yu didn't dare to tell the truth, and said vaguely: "I'm wondering when Brother Haizi will come back." ”

"Yes, I went out early in the morning, and I should have come back as promised, so I won't run into any big monsters. Phew, bah, look at my crow's mouth. Shen Yunshan slapped her cheeks busily.

"You girl, you will talk nonsense. Aunt Shen came out with a plate of grilled fish and scolded with a smile.

"Qianyu, you eat first, wait while eating, maybe you'll be back in a while, don't worry, I'll go get some wine." Aunt Shen rubbed her hands on her apron and walked towards the door as she spoke.

Jumping fish is a seaside specialty, whenever the sea water recess and the tide is low, a large number of jumping fish jump on the tidal flats, there is a unique scenery, the village women pick it up effortlessly, the boiled meat is fresh and tender, you can enter it if you suck it, the barbecue is more than some fireworks in the world, with the coconut fruit wine brewed by Uncle Sheng, the taste, it is difficult to pass it on, every time you go down the mountain a thousand feathers are still intended.

Coconut fruit wine is made by the neighbor Uncle Sheng's unique secret recipe, not only the wine is fruity, but also feels more powerful after drinking, and the wine brewed by others is less of that taste and feeling, and then the villagers simply don't do it, and when they want to drink it, they exchange it from Uncle Sheng, and they are the only one since then.

After a while, Aunt Shen came back with two jars of coconut wine.
