Chapter 1 Haoxi Ancient Town
At the beginning of the morning, the sound of birds and beasts in the fog is absolutely unheard, the sky is very different, and the water vapor can be seen early in the morning.
Looking around, although it is not far away, but the surrounding green hills and high slopes can still faintly see a silhouette, a very long stone road is built around the mountains, to be able to build such a road in such a place, the manpower and materials invested are huge.
"In front of it is Haoxi Ancient Town, which is rumored to be a very old town. ”
The road is rocky and soil, although it is steep, but the road is very flat, an ox cart full of all kinds of sundries climbs from the bottom to the top, the speed is very slow, a teenager on the car looks at the distance and says, it is very yearning.
"I'm afraid that the people inside are as poor as us, and then they don't have the ability to renovate it, so it's spread like this, don't see a bunch of dilapidated houses, that's running so far in vain. ”
In the car were two young men who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, one with thick eyebrows and a wide face, and the other with proper facial features and quite handsome.
"Don't talk nonsense, if you are right, then the past will be sad, especially if you have been unlucky recently, let alone talk nonsense. The thick-eyed boy leaned back on the back of the car, crutches with his hand, and reminded.
"Don't talk nonsense, when am I going to be unlucky again?" retorted another unconvinced.
"Still stubborn, your mother just died less than two years ago, your father found a family for you, seeing that the auspicious day arrived, and then out of nowhere, the big water came, not to mention the village house, the whole village just a few people who went to pick up their relatives alive, and they were not unlucky......"
"How can this natural disaster be managed, compared to them, my luck is much better, if you don't go with me to pick up relatives, you will also accompany them down. ”
......
The two were talking, and at this time, the trees in the mountains shook, and the sound was a little loud, and the two saw it from a long distance.
"What is that...... the two jumped out of the car together, the thick-eyed young man opened his mouth and asked, just landed, only to see a four-legged beast about a foot long, the two of them were also frightened when they saw this, turned over and rolled down the side of the road stone.
Only the howl of the ox was heard from above, but soon there was no sound, and the two did not dare to move, and crawled quietly on the ground.
However, the beast did not fail to find the two, it bit the front foot of the ox, and then dragged it down, and glanced at them in the process, but did not pay attention to them, more of a warning.
"Now you still dare to say that you are not unlucky?" Seeing him leave, the thick-eyed young man said stunned.
"And said cool words, go quickly, pick up the things that must be used, and if it goes and reverses, the two of us will be swallowed by it even to the bones. The handsome boy had already climbed up, and said very unhappily.
The two quickly picked up some useful things, and then walked along the way, but the road was tortuous, and the sky was bright, and the two sweated profusely, and the thick-eyed young man slammed the iron pot behind him to the ground, and said very dissatisfied:
"I don't know what you think, you brought such a big pot on the way, and you didn't have anything to cook for you, and let me carry it. ”
"It seems that it is still a little far away, or I will lose it here, and I will come back to get it when I have time, otherwise I will die first and there will really be nothing on the way." The other teenager wiped the sweat from his head and looked at the road with no end in sight after another turn.
"This road has a big curve, we really follow the road I am afraid it will be a waste of time and energy, while the weather is bright now, we go up the mountains to see the road, there are shortcuts to take the best. ”
"What did you say......
Leaving behind their heavy loads, the two of them carried a little food on their backs and climbed up a higher mountain, even though they did not pause, but when they reached the top of the mountain, the sky began to darken.
"I said I can't stop, otherwise I will have to stay here for one night to see the road, and I will sleep in this kind of place for one night, and I am afraid that I will not have a chance to get up if I sleep. Both of them were very careful when they came, there were many poisonous beasts, and he gasped as he looked at the thin line of road in the distance.
Seeing the way clearly, the two began to descend the mountain in one direction, but it was getting late, and the two became more and more frightened when they heard the roars that began to rise in their ears.
"There seems to be a cave there, so let's go and hide in it for the night. The two of them saw a black hole on a hill not high in front of them, and they were immediately overjoyed.
The two of them hadn't started to go up the mountain yet, but they saw a big deep pit with water in the pit, and they both wanted to jump down and drink two sips, but they just looked at the height, and it didn't look like they could come up.
"Go up the mountain and enter the cave first, and then come back early tomorrow morning and find a way to go down and drink. Listening to the roar from the side, the two of them were always alerted to the danger everywhere, so they didn't bother to drink water, and went straight to the cave.
When it was dark, the two of them had already arrived in front of the cave, and they first found a lot of wood to burn, first to make sure that there were no fierce beasts in the cave, and then to prevent other fierce beasts from breaking in.
The two of them lit the fire into the hole, and the not very large space was illuminated by the firelight, and the two of them did not see the big beast, but there was a bunch of black insects and ants piled up in one place, which looked very weird.
"Blank, you bring the fire, burn these things to death first, these insects, ants, stones and trees are all eaten, and I don't know how to die if they are not burned clean. The handsome young man shouted to the man who was burning the fire outside.
He heard that there was something in it and ran in curiously, and when he saw this large pile of insects and ants, he couldn't help but shake his body, he went to pick up a lot of dry wood, and after forming a circle, he directly lit the fire, and then kept making a crisp sound, and those insects and ants began to run around, but they were all swallowed by the fire.
The fire was not small, and the two of them quickly retreated, and only walked in after there was no sound in the cave.
"What is this...... "When the two of them entered, in addition to the light of the remaining firewood, they found a white horn in the black corpse, and pulled it out with a wooden stick, only to see that it was a book that was not too thick.
"What is this?" the thick-eyed boy asked, picking up the book.
"You haven't seen the book, are you stupid or what?" gave him a blank look, he took the book and looked at it, it was blank inside and out, nothing.
"What books have you ever seen that can't be burned, there's no problem with such a big fire, this thing is a bit evil......"
"Peel them all up and see what's in there, these insects and ants aren't going to gather here for no reason. ”
The two of them were even more curious, and they picked up the still hot corpses to the firewood, but they didn't find anything, dry and cracked stone and soil, and nothing else.
The two of them were suddenly in a lack of interest, and they didn't find any difference in the book for a long time, and the two quickly leaned together casually.
Soon, the fire was extinguished, and a white light in the dark hole attracted the attention of the handsome young man, and he called out softly:
"Hurry up, see if there's a glowing mass there......"
When he heard this, he fixed his eyes and saw a faint white light, and he hurried to fetch a piece of burnt wood, and after blowing it twice, there was a little light in the hole.
The two of them walked and saw that the white light was in the middle of the firewood that had been extinguished just now.
"What the hell is this, this hole is too evil!" The thick-eyed boy touched it with his hand, but he couldn't touch anything, and the faint white light was still there after his hand was removed.
After two breaths, he stretched out the fiery firewood, but it was there, not disappearing, not moving a minute.
But as the handsome young man slapped the book in his hand, the faint white light disappeared, and the two complained for a while, and finally fell asleep.
After spending the night in the cave, the two went down the mountain early in the morning, and came to the deep pit they had seen yesterday, and regardless of whether the water below was clean or not, they tied a rattan they had found when they came down the mountain to a tree and climbed down to get water.
Haoxi Ancient Town, this city is indeed extremely ancient, most of the houses are built of stone, although they are built of stone and soil, but they are still quite stable at this time, and this is not an ordinary stone.
The thing that covers the top is the same as a stone, but no one has ever seen such a boulder, there are many large houses in the town, the boulder several zhang long is straight as the main beam, and the boulder weighing thousands of catties does not know how to get the thickness of the palm of the hand, and then cover it.
This stone has been tried, and even an iron tool cannot be smashed.
In the eyes of everyone, only the legendary immortals have such abilities, and the people here have always believed in the existence of immortals.
It took three days for the two teenagers to arrive in the town, in fact, before that, the two of them had met the people living around, and they had heard a lot about the town, even so, they couldn't help but marvel at what they saw with their own eyes.
"Sure enough, it's a good place......"
The two of them came from a poor background, needless to say about the work in their hands, they are very capable of doing it, not to mention this handsome young man, who knows a lot, and can have the ability to marry at the age of fifteen, so it is conceivable that the craft is in the line.
The two of them soon found a place to settle down, but they also lived outside the ancient town, which was large, but there was no place to stay, and it cost a lot of money to live overnight.
When they first came here, they had no money on them, so the two of them casually built a simple wooden house.
"What else do you see, hurry up and find a way to survive, or wait to starve to death?" The two of them have been eating messily these days, and none of them have eaten well, and seeing that he has time to take the book he brought back and flip through it, he can't bear to speak.
"You better take care of yourself, you don't know anything, you have brute strength, go to a good family, you can do some trivial things, and you can make a living. He still fiddled with the book in his hand and said casually.
Hearing this, the thick-eyed young man snorted, no matter how he walked out, he grew up with him from childhood to adulthood, and knew that what he said was true, but he was not convinced.
After a long time, the hunger in his belly forced him to put down the strange book in his hand, and he sighed with a frown, and said to himself:
"Maybe it's really useless, it seems that I am thinking too much. ”
As he spoke, he threw the book aside, and the humble wooden house had no bed or table, so he naturally had no intention of keeping it, so he first went to the middle of the town to see what could be done, and he was still very confident in his own talents.
