Seal the Jedi.

On this day, the rocks of the mountain peaks, which had been silent in the depths of the forbidden land for tens of thousands of years, began to crack inch by inch, and the cracked rock cracks revealed a thousand rays of light, reflecting half of the sky.

The whole heaven and earth suddenly glowed, colorful, as if there was an ancient treasure born, the aura between the heaven and the earth surging wildly, not a moment later, there was a pillar of light to the sky, straight to the sky.

"That's... Is there a great treasure born in the direction of the forbidden land?"

"Pass the order, immediately send someone to the Demon Sealing Jedi to find out the news..."

"Yes!"

..................

Almost at the same time, the forces of all the nearby cities sent people to the forbidden land to inquire about the news, and everyone wanted to share some benefits!

More and more people came to this forbidden place to find out, but unfortunately no one could enter, and the entire forbidden place seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier.

"It seems that we have to continue to wait, the prohibition that suddenly appeared here is very strong, and it can't be broken in a while!"

"Now that more and more people are coming from the major forces, and there is no way to enter the forbidden land, if we wait for all the forces to gather, I'm afraid we won't even be able to drink the soup. ”

"That's no way, is there a way for you to get in early?"

"If I had a way, would I still be waiting here?" the man said helplessly, rolling his eyes.

....................................

In the depths of the Forbidden Land, as the glow skyrocketed, a giant sword hung high and slowly swirled.

At one point, the spinning greatsword began to shrink rapidly, reaching the size of a normal longsword.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, as if being guided, the long sword flew away in the direction of the extreme north, as fast as if it had broken through the limits of space.

As the long sword left, an old voice sounded:

"The Heavenly Demon has been removed, your task has been completed, in the future, I will return your freedom..."

"Look! What's that?"

"A sword! Flying out of the forbidden land, it must be a peerless treasure!"

"Chase!"

Outside the forbidden land, when everyone was at a loss, they were immediately surprised when they saw a long sword flying out, and hurriedly chased in the direction where the long sword left.

After the long sword flew away, the previous prohibition that had stopped everyone had disappeared, and some people went after the sword, while others thought that there might be something more precious inside, so they simply gave up the long sword and continued to explore the forbidden land.

The people who went deep into the forbidden land did not encounter any danger, and the road was unusually calm, until everyone reached the depths of the forbidden land, and they did not find anything.

Only then did everyone realize that the long sword that left before was the most precious treasure, but it was a pity that it was too late.

And the people who chased all the way, because the speed of the long sword was too fast, also lost their goal at this time.

In the end, many of the forces attracted by the natural vision this time all returned in vain.

Those forces who want to get the peerless treasure are still aimlessly sending people to find them.

The Far North Barrens.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was lying on the ground, the boy was breathing evenly, his clothes were somewhat tattered, but there was no trace of injury on his body.

A nearby villager passed by and saw someone lying on the ground.

"How can anyone lie here in this barren mountain range?"

Although the villagers were very confused, they were still afraid of getting into trouble and were about to leave.

But when he approached, he found that it was a young man who had fainted here, and after a closer look, he found that although the young man was unconscious, his body was very strong, and his life should not be in danger, so he simply carried the young man and took him home to take care of it.

On a somewhat shabby bed lay a little boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

The young man's face is delicate and seems to have a distinctive temperament.

The boy opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and let out an unconscious "Hmm?", as if he didn't quite know what was going on.

What you see is a dilapidated thatched hut with yellowed walls and shabby furniture, almost empty inside, and the adobe floor is not very smooth.

When I got out of bed, the door was a dark red wooden door, the texture was a little blurry, and it looked very old.

Beyond the threshold, there is a small courtyard, surrounded by a fence wall, and some vegetables are planted in the open space of the yard.

"Oh, kid, are you awake?"

A woman came over, saw the young man from a distance, hurried over, and asked with concern.

The young man looked at the woman in front of him, a little confused.

"What's your name, where is your home, and my husband picked you up from outside, and you were still unconscious. ”

Seeing that he did not answer, the woman continued to ask, but the young man remained silent.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to talk, go back to the house to rest first, and I'll call you again when the meal is ready." ”

The woman was a little helpless, so she had to pull the young man into the house.

Evening.

In this family, the man's surname is Zhang, his daughter-in-law's surname is Li, and the two have a nine-year-old son named Tie Dan'er.

Life in the mountains is very poor, and the home of Lao Zhang and his wife is also very simple.

The woman sighed to her husband, "Old man, do you think the child in this house is a fool? ”

"No, this kid has clear eyebrows, and he doesn't look like he has a bad brain. ”

The woman suddenly said, "Why don't you go to the city tomorrow and ask if anyone's baby is lost?"

The husband hesitated: "It's good if I find this, but what if I can't find it?" This child has been living in our house, and I'm afraid that some people will gossip when the time comes. ”

"There's no way to do it, if you can't find it, you can live in our house, you can't kick him out, right? The woman said angrily.

When the husband saw that his daughter-in-law had said this, he had to echo and said, "Okay, okay, I just listen to you." ”

The next day, the husband searched outside for a long time and did not find any clues about the teenager, so the teenager stayed at their house.

In this era, it is not uncommon for people to flee into the mountains to escape disasters, and Lao Zhang and his wife are decent and have some prestige in the village, so the villagers are only fresh for two days and slowly get used to it.

About the boy's life or something, everyone couldn't ask, and it was even difficult to speak, so gradually, the people in the village gave him a new name - Dumb.

Sister Li's maiden family was originally a family that could read and write, so the task of teaching Dumb to speak fell on Sister Li's head.

Although Dumb is a stupid person, he learns things very quickly, and it only takes a few months for him to be able to communicate with others normally.

Everyone in the village is speculating that maybe Dumb is not unable to speak, but for some reason, his head has been stimulated, so he has forgotten everything before.

Dumb lives like this in the village, compared to the chaos outside, the life in the mountains is quite free, although the same has to pay harsh taxes to the state, the people in the village are also happy.

Slowly, Dumb learned to speak and write, and the people in the village said that Dumb was very smart and could learn everything.

Sister Li also often talked to the villagers about Dumb: "I'll just say, this kid is so handsome, why can't he speak and write?"

Later, Sister Li became more and more interested in teaching Dumb to read and break, and she was so happy that she simply took her own iron eggs to read and write together.

This can make Tie Dan'er depressed, because before Dumb came, Sister Li had disliked him for being too stupid and had given up on teaching him to read, but now she had to learn again.

However, something that made Tie Dan'er even more depressed appeared, compared to Dumb, his learning speed was like a turtle crawling, because of this, he was not less beaten.

On this day, Sister Zhao was reprimanding Tie Dan'er.

"Look at the stupid people, and then look at yourself, why are you so stupid?" said and slapped his son on the head.

This time Tie Dan'er was even more aggrieved: "Mother, you didn't just know that I was stupid today." Besides, Dumb must have been able to write before, he just forgot, and now he remembers it as soon as you teach him, that's why he learns so fast, why do you want me to compare with him?"

Speaking of Dumb, Sister Li turned her head and asked, "By the way, Dumb, have you remembered some of your previous things?"

Dumb hugged his head and thought hard, but his face became more and more painful, and later, he even fell to the ground and rolled over.

"Dumb, what's wrong with you?"

Sister Li panicked when she saw this, and called several times but there was no response.

In the end, in a hurry, he had to call Tie Dan'er to call Lang Zhong in the village.

Tie Dan'er answered and immediately ran out to look for someone.

After a while, Tie Dan'er came back with Lang Zhong in the village, and at this time, Dumb had calmed down and sat cross-legged on the bed.

After Lang Zhong checked Dumb's pulse, he didn't check anything, but the strange thing is that Dumb's pulse is different from ordinary people, Dumb's pulse is extremely slow, and the frequency and amplitude of the heart beat are different from normal people.

This Lang Zhong has been frowning, but he can't figure out why.

Lang Zhong, who was sitting next to Dumb, suddenly felt refreshed, as if there was a breeze blowing around him.

Tie Dan'er looked at Dumb's strange sitting posture and was a little puzzled.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

"I didn't know that he was sitting like this after I helped him in. ”

Tie Dan'er was just about to ask that Lang Zhong, why was Dumb like this, but he saw Lang Zhong's surprised expression.

"It's... Five hearts to the sky? Is he cultivating his strength?"

"What is Force?" Tie Dan'er asked again.

"Cultivating Yuanli, this is the method used by those who have great abilities in the rivers and lakes. ”

Na Langzhong seems to be caught in the memory:

This is a very magical world, there are many, many magical people in the big city outside, they can cultivate, they can absorb the energy that is free from heaven and earth, that kind of energy we can't see or touch, but they can use that energy to make themselves stronger.

Those strange people call that kind of energy the power of the force, and they use this kid's method.

In the past, I went outside just to find such a strange person and teach me how to cultivate.

Once, in order to worship Master, I knelt in front of someone's house for a few days.

Although they accepted me, it's a pity that I'm not angry, I don't have that kind of talent, I studied for a few years, I didn't understand anything, and finally had to give up.

Later, I learned some medicine outside, and I didn't go out for a few years in vain.

Lang Zhong came back to his senses, and said solemnly to Sister Li and Tie Dan'er: "You must not go around talking about this child, his background is probably not ordinary, so as not to cause trouble!"

Sister Li nodded again and again when she heard this, and when Lang Zhong said this, she was also frightened.
