Climb high and look far away, and the breeze is free.

It is an endless verdant landscape with peaks and peaks that stretch for unknown geometry, making people sigh at the magic and magnificence of nature.

It is like a painting, and it is like a screen, but I see that the distant mountains are long, the clouds and mountains are chaotic, and the mountains are green.

The mountain dance dragon snake is like a star, and the mood is unsettled.

The territory of Guxia is vast, and ordinary people rely on a pair of feet to measure, and they can't walk half the distance for thousands of generations.

The three ancient kingdoms, such a vast and boundless land, according to legend, have been untouched for a long time, and there are countless secrets hidden in the great wilderness, stretching for millions of miles; there are endless lakes, which are like the vast oceans of Zeguo; there are ancient kings' tombs, hidden deep in the lofty mountains and mountains, in which they are thousands of miles long; there are Qionglou Yuyu, hanging high above the sky, and never falling......

The Northern Regions is the ancestral land of the Great Xia royal family, and it was not until later that the ancient Xia Kingdom expanded its territory and pacified the four seas and eight wildernesses, and then moved the capital to Shangyu in Zhongzhou to be worshiped by the Quartet.

The king who broke through the threshold of life and death left the inheritance, not only the Shangguan family, but only the Shangguan family entered Zhongzhou, established the dynasty, and ascended to the four poles, and the rest of the ancient families acquiesced in this matter and did not interfere much.

In this world, there are many masters. There are many large forests in the northern region that have not been set foot in for a long time, and I don't know what secrets will be hidden.

Aside from anything else, this is really a place where you can meditate and cultivate, and comprehend the mystical law, and the chaos of the outside world rarely reaches here.

The villagers of Tuba are simple and simple, like a paradise, these villagers have lived here for generations, rarely go out, Ye Ku and the two have asked a few people, they can only talk about some wild things in the forest, and they don't even know what Beicheng and Shangyu are.

Of course, this is in the eyes of Ye Ku and the others, especially when Shangguan Xuanqing first left the prosperity and saw the world for the first time, he would naturally be interested in thinking that this kind of life was good, but if it was for people who lived here all the year round, it would be very different.

The two continued to move forward, and on the way they saw several strong men with prey, but the expression on their faces was not the joy of harvest but the solemnity of depression, in addition to the prey, they also brought back two corpses, bloody, proving to people the cruelty of survival.

"Ye Wither, those two ......"

"It's hopeless. Ye Ku is more indifferent than Shangguan Xuanqing, fighting with his life, this is the way for most people, excessive compassion is a kind of disrespect, after all, what most people strive for is not the compassion of others.

The two of them walked around the mountains for most of the day, but they didn't go far, the forest was very old, what was hidden in it no one knew, and it was too quiet to make people a little uneasy.

"Nowadays, young people eat and drink for nothing, forget it, and the bowl is just like this after eating, I really poured eight lifetimes of mold on the stall such a thing, it is not enough to have two ancestors in the family, and now I have to serve these two more!"

Back in the village, Ye Ku and Shangguan Xuanqing heard complaints from Zhang Da Niu's house.

The two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, it was not to blame that the peasant woman had a broken mouth, it was indeed they who were wrong.

Ye Ku and Shangguan Xuanqing are used to eating and drinking on weekdays, and they don't need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they don't pay attention to this kind of thing at all.

Ye Ku held a heavy ingot of silver in his hand, and he didn't plan to eat and live in vain.

The peasant woman watched Ye Ku walk in, those words must have been heard by Ye Ku and the others, they were originally talking behind their backs, and they were suddenly a little embarrassed, and then saw Ye Ku holding the silver and handing it to her, and hurriedly said that she couldn't ask for it.

She was a little frightened, she had never seen such a big ingot of silver in her life, and it was too easy to get hold of it now, which made the simple people who had dealt with the land all their lives a little overwhelmed.

"Eldest sister, you can take it. The gold and silver were not valued by the monks, and Ye Ku shoved the silver into her hands.

How can anyone really not love money, the peasant woman accepted the money, perhaps because she felt that Ye Ku was close all of a sudden, and said with a smile and a little mysteriously: "You told the eldest sister, did you two elope?"

In her eyes, although Shangguan Xuanqing has changed his clothes, the temperament raised by the rich and noble family and the delicate skin of the body, the ten fingers do not touch the spring water, but they can't be faked, and Ye Ku and the two are poor scholars who kidnapped the daughter of a rich family and eloped.

This is still a few years ago a storyteller from afar came to rest here, chatting after tea and dinner, and the hearts of those who have heard it in this village are still swinging, and they still think that now they know that this story is really not made up.

Before she could speak, the peasant woman looked clear and swore that "don't worry, I'll tell you that you two are my distant relatives and come to defect, it's okay." ”

If a man and a woman say each other, it is difficult to do anything that is not clear, especially in this village where you can't see what you look up and don't look down, it is inevitable that some people will talk about something, who doesn't love the gossip of the west and the east?

"Ahem. ”

Although the peasant woman lowered her voice, where could she escape Shangguan Xuanqing's ears, she stood in the door frame and coughed twice, the woman saw this situation, Shangguan Xuanqing smiled meaningfully, and refused to stop, and said to Shangguan Xuanqing: "Actually, as soon as you enter the door, I can see it......"

"Mother, I'm hungry. ”

A little girl of five or six years old came out to break the embarrassment, she was dressed simply and plainly, with patches on her mother's clothes, and she had just played happily, and the mud was stained with her trouser legs and that cute little face.

In fact, this is Ye Ku and Shangguan Xuanqing

In the end, it was the child who was important, Ye Ku and Shangguan Xuanqing were immediately thrown aside.

The peasant woman hurriedly carried the child into the kitchen and got busy.

"It stands to reason that Gu Jun should have arrived before us, why haven't we heard from him yet?" Ye Ku was changing the topic, and Shangguan Xuanqing touched his face with both hands to make it not so hot.

"How do I know. ”

"Could it be that we are going wrong?"

"No way, how can the path I led be wrong?"

While the two were talking, Zhang Da Niu also returned, with the meat and the smell of blood on his body when he came back from hunting, and there were a lot of dried blood stains on his clothes.

The little girl ran out and threw herself into Zhang Daniu's arms when she heard the movement, she seemed to notice Shangguan Xuanqing at this time, and after being put down by her father, she took Shangguan Xuanqing's hand with the little hand that had just been washed and shook it.

"Sister, you are so beautiful. ”

Of course, this sentence is useful, not to mention that it is still a child who says it, and the child's words are unscrupulous and only tell the truth, Shangguan Xuanqing smiled and squinted, his voice was like a silver bell, but he was also like a child.

"The mouth is so sweet, will my sister take you out to play for a while?"

After a while, the fragrant meal was served, half a roast chicken, a large pot of fragrant chicken soup, and fried fragrant wild roe deer meat and a plate of green vegetables, which were particularly hearty.

Ye Ku and Shangguan Xuanqing only learned the benefits of silver for the first time, and they followed the customs of the locals and praised the deliciousness.

After eating, Shangguan Xuanqing really took the little girl out to play, but he left the original intention of coming here behind, and Ye Ku also followed her, so he stayed in the house to chat with Zhang Daniu.

"We just went out for a walk and saw a small temple outside the village, and there was a person living in it?" Ye Wei asked about it.

"The man hasn't been there for long. Zhang Daniu was talkative, and told Ye Ku and the others about it.

The man had come to the village a few months earlier, and he didn't know his name, so he would ask the village to exchange the meat he had hunted in the mountains for some vegetables, and everyone went with him.

The temple was the only empty house in the village, and the man took up residence in it.

There are two gods in the temple, one is the mountain god and the other is the village god, it is said that in the past, robbers were entrenched in this place, and a famous master helped them to pacify the robbers and keep a side peaceful.

However, most of the masters traveled all over the world and would not stay in one place for long, so the master pacified the robbers and left, and the villagers of Tuba Village offered him and the mountain god together to show their reverence and gratitude.

The people here are simple and simple, whoever is good to them is remembered, and whoever is kind to them will be offered, offering incense to him, offering chickens, ducks, melons and fruits, and praying for peace.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and recently another group of bandits came out, and the three villages around them had to "make offerings" to the bandits on time and according to their heads every month for the past two months.

It's strange to say, their place was originally quite well-fed, but after the last wave of robbers, it was very difficult, and now this gang of thieves doesn't know what they are trying to do.

"I see that there are a lot of strong men in the village, and if they can go into such a primitive old forest to hunt, their skills must not be bad, and those bandits are so powerful?" Ye Ku was a little puzzled, he saw with his own eyes the people in the village who went into the mountains to hunt, and their bodies were very strong, just in terms of physique, they were enough to compare with some monks of the second or third grade of mortal bones.

"Thanks to the exercise method left by the village god, the people in the village can go into the mountains to hunt according to the practice, and life is not so difficult. But this time the bandits are really powerful, last time we were angry and fought, the leading thief didn't know where to summon a golden sword, slashed many of us, and also removed one of Lao Li's arms. ”

Zhang Daniu was angry and helpless when he spoke.

"Yes, those bandits are very hateful, but Xiao Ye, don't worry, they only came a while ago, and there is at least half a month left to count. Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law said, "It's not the eldest sister I'll drive you, but our village is really not peaceful, we are natives, we can't do without it, you and the girl should leave early." That girl is so good-looking and has so tender skin, she must be the daughter of a family who can't bear our suffering. ”

It was also when the three of them were chatting that there was a rush of shouts outside, and Zhang Daniu's face changed, "Those dogs are here again!"

"Oh, the child is still outside, and the girl is still there. Zhang Daniu immediately rushed out with his hunting knife, Ye Ku wanted to help, but was pressed back by Zhang Daniu, "What's the use of you going, stay good and don't make trouble!"

The men rushed towards the entrance of the village with self-defense things, and Ye Ku stood in front of the door and watched them rush to defend their village, his figure flashed and merged into the flow of people.

Zhang Daniu's wife was about to shout that Ye Ku was hiding well, but found that he was missing in a blink of an eye.
