The stars are moving, the vicissitudes of the sea, the flowers are blooming and falling, and they are endless.

Twenty-five thousand years later, the world is divided into 36 tribes, and there are 10 out of 10 strong people. There are Xiangshui and Xuehua in the north, Shennong and Shenyi in the south, Wanhua and Yumeng in the east, and fire worship and mountain opening in the west. There are a number of small clans entrenched around the big clans, which are not only heart-to-heart, but also contain each other, and the relationship is complex and changeable. In recent years, there have been constant border conflicts between ethnic groups, all of whom are fighting for resources and food.

Surrounded by green trees, the martial arts field of Longchi Township of the Kaishan Clan is surrounded by villagers at this moment, and two teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old are facing each other naked, their spirits are highly concentrated, and beads of sweat the size of beans are flowing down their foreheads.

On the sidelines, a young man with a stubble face and a rough face was watching the battle, and this person was the martial artist Haoge of Longchi Township. He was the teacher of all the teenagers who participated in the selection competition today, and he was also the only one among the adults in Longchi Township who had received formal spiritual training.

There was a young man beside Hao Ge, who was heroic and tall, and he was recording quickly in a small book, but he was fifteen or sixteen years old, his eyes were like bright stars in the night, his thick eyebrows were like double knives Lingyun, and his teeth were better than mutton fat and white jade, which was Hao Ge's big apprentice Tianbao.

"Tianbao, what are the current battle statistics?" asked Haoge.

"The two of them dismantled forty-seven moves, and the palm strength fought against each other three times, and Kaile had the advantage, and the winning rate was about seventy percent. Tianbao said.

On the field, Hongyi's figure flashed, turned his palm into a claw, and buckled Kaile's right shoulder, he knew that his fists and feet and physical strength were not dominant, and he wanted to fight for the initiative by grappling.

"There is reality and there is nothing, and reality has become nothing. Tempo muttered to himself.

Kai Le seems to have already seen through Hongyi's tricks, he pressed on his right shoulder with one hand, controlled Hongyi's claws, his right elbow flipped, Hongyi lost his center of gravity all of a sudden, Kai Le lifted his shoulder, his right arm was forced, that Hongyi had been gently thrown up, Kai Le kicked his back with a heavy leg, Hongyi immediately flew out a few feet away, planted in the dust and couldn't get up.

The onlookers applauded thunderously and applauded continuously.

"Dang!" a gong sounded.

"There are a total of forty-eight styles in this competition, Kai Le wins!" Tianbao said loudly.

"Concession, concession!" Kaile smiled and greeted the villagers around him.

"Tianbao, if you are Hongyi, how can you crack this trick just now?" Haoge asked in a low voice.

"When Kaile's right elbow flips, the center of gravity is on the left foot, and he should push his left back first, so ......" Tianbao suddenly thought of something, stuck out his tongue and hurriedly said: "I don't know, I, I don't know, I'm talking nonsense." ”

Hao Ge slowly walked into the martial arts arena, and the villagers quieted down.

"Who else is on stage to challenge?" Hao Ge said.

Next to him, an old man with a long beard said, "If no one else is fighting, then Kaile will report it." "He is the head of Longchi Township.

"Again, who else has come on stage to challenge?" said Hao Ge, looking at Tianbao.

All the teenagers in the audience were silent, knowing that their strength was not as good as Kaile.

"Tianbao, don't you come up and compete?" said Teacher Haoge.

Speaking of Tianbao, Kai Le's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his fists couldn't help but clench a little.

Tianbao stood up and arched his hand and said: "Teacher, Tianbao knows that his strength is mediocre, and he is not Kaile's opponent, and Kaile's junior brother is the best person to represent our Longchi Township." ”

Hao Ge sighed: "Okay! Since there is no one else to fight, then the first place in today's selection competition is Kaile!"

Under the ring, applause and cheers suddenly rose, and Kaile was thrown high by the villagers like a spring breeze like a champion.

The old villager coughed twice: "Kaile, you will represent the township and be selected for our Kaishan Clan's Qixuan Qiankun Pagoda to receive a higher level of cultivation, do you know?"

Kaile said: "How can I not know? I will definitely learn the upper level exercises as soon as possible and contribute to my clan." ”

The old villager chief motioned for the villagers to calm down, and he said with a solemn expression: "Twenty-five thousand years ago, the water god Gonggong and the fire god Zhurong fought in Buzhou Mountain, and Gonggong was defeated and angrily touched Buzhou Mountain, causing the Heavenly Pillar to collapse and human disasters to run rampant. After the collapse of the mountain, the divine light overflowed, and Zhu Rong found the hidden soul of heaven and earth in the mountain. ”

Hao Ge continued: "The souls of this heaven and earth are colorful and tens of millions, and they are hidden in the Buzhou Mountain, and they burst out with the collapse of the Buzhou Mountain. Since then, the human beings who have mastered the soul of heaven and earth have the power to surpass mortals, which is unexpected by the creation gods, they are worried that human beings have lost their fear of the gods from now on, and have the ability to question the gods and even challenge the gods, so the gods are furious, and the human world suffers a catastrophe every 2,500 years, in order to delay the progress of human beings' cultivation of the soul of heaven and earth. ”

The elder said: "Yes, in the next few years, it will coincide with the tenth tribulation of the world, and the disaster of this tenth tribulation will be unprecedentedly cruel. ”

The villagers in the audience talked a lot, just listening to the words "gods and demons" can think of the tragedy when the catastrophe came.

Hao Ge said: "Therefore, all ethnic groups in the world have been intensively developing reserve forces in recent years, and this time we have selected teenagers over the age of 15 from the Kaishan clan to deal with the tenth calamity." Qixuan Qiankun Pagoda is the highest cultivation hall of the whole clan, only by going there can you master the cultivation method of the soul of heaven and earth, after the catastrophe has passed, these meritorious people will be added to the official and knighted, and they will be named the family family, and enjoy the status and treatment of nobles from generation to generation. Kaile, do you know the significance of this trip?"

Kai Le nodded: "Although I have died for a lifetime, if I can contribute to the safe passage of my clan, I will still be alive and dead." ”

"Well done!" said the mayor.

Seeing the birth of such a talent in Longchi Township, the villagers were also overjoyed, especially Kaile's parents were full of joy and sorrow, tears flowed, and Kaile seemed to have become a hero of the whole township and the whole clan surrounded by the villagers.

The township chief instructed everyone to disperse, and he went back to write an official document, writing a special account of Kaile's situation, and making up some "stories" about how he helped the villagers and helped the strong and the weak on weekdays.

As night fell, the bustling martial arts arena during the day became extraordinarily silent. Tianbao walked around the martial arts arena with his food, came to the door of the martial god temple, and knocked on the tall wooden door.

The knock on the door echoed in the empty Martial God Temple for a long time, and there was a sudden strange sound in the temple, but it soon returned to silence.

"Teacher Haoge, it's time to eat!" Tianbao said, "Today there is your favorite beef ball soup!"

There was no response in the Martial God Temple, and everything was as silent as death. The crows on the branches outside the temple looked strange and harsh.

Sensing that something was wrong, Tianbao gently pushed open the door and bypassed the statue of the martial god to the side hall.

"Teacher Haoge?" Tianbao wondered, on weekdays, as soon as Teacher Haoge heard that he had his favorite dish today, he would have already pounced on it and feasted on it.

Walking into the side hall, Tianbao saw Hao Ge sitting on the edge of the bed, looking straight at the ground with his eyes, and by the faint candlelight, Tianbao found that Hao Ge's eyes were blank, as if he was ten years old all of a sudden.

"Teacher Haoge?" Tianbao put the food on the table, "Teacher Haoge?"

Hao Ge slowly raised his head and looked straight at Tianbao, wanting to speak again.

Suddenly, Hao Ge rose up and attacked Tianbao's chest, Tianbao was startled, his hands protected his chest, and when his fists and palms met, Tianbao felt that Haoge's fist was like a hammer, and his strength was extraordinary.

In class on weekdays, Tianbao often fights against Hao Ge, Hao Ge has never used all his strength, but this punch just now is indeed a real killing move, if there is the slightest slowness, the heart will inevitably be broken.

Hao Ge couldn't strike a blow and pursued him. Tianbao was startled by the sudden attack, and instinctively fled outside the temple, Haoge's body was above Tianbao, and soon caught up with Tianbao, and the two fought in the martial arts arena.

Haoge's attack was so powerful that Tianbao was tired of coping with it, and after twenty moves, he was gradually unable to resist it. What puzzled Tianbao was why the teacher who usually loved him suddenly attacked him? And judging from this sharp move, this was by no means a teaching battle, but a move that wanted Tianbao's life.

"After ten more moves, you will definitely die at the hands of the teacher. Tianbao thought to himself.

By the moonlight, Tianbao saw that Haoge's expression was very complicated, fierce, sad, hesitant, regretful, Tianbao even clearly saw Haoge crying. What was the strange sound just before he walked into the Martial God Temple?

Gradually, Haoge's strength weakened, his moves slowed down, and he fell to his knees and broke down and cried.

"Why, why?" Hao Ge muttered.

"Teacher Haoge!"

"Don't come here!" Hao Ge raised his head and said, "Every move I made just now was used by Kai Le, and the strength was tripled, you can obviously catch it, why don't you compete with Kai Le?"

"I ......," Tianbao said.

"You're afraid of death! You're afraid you're going to die on the battlefield?"

"No!" Tempo shouted, "I just want to...... I just wanted to be around the teacher. ”

"Ridiculous! The kindness of a woman!" it rained in the sky, and Hao Ge pointed at Tianbao and said angrily, "Do you know that going to the Qixuan Qiankun Pagoda to practice is an opportunity that many people dream of and can't ask for!"

"I know!" Tianbao said categorically, "But I also know that you are not really happy every day, teacher, there is a dark cloud in front of your eyes, it lingers, that is your most vulnerable place! I don't want to learn the soul of heaven and earth, and I don't want to cultivate the Tao, I just hope to learn the level of the teacher, to be an ordinary martial artist in this countryside, to teach those children who can't afford to pay the tuition, so that they will not be bullied." "Tianbao has been studying in Haoge's martial arts arena for free all these years, and he does some chores on weekdays.

Tianbao continued: "I know that the soul of heaven and earth is a very powerful way to practice, but for me, being with the teacher, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and helping the villagers is the life I want to live. ”

Hao Ge sat down on the ground. "Tianbao, what do you want me to say about you, do you think you know yourself?"

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the master and apprentice talked in the rain.

"Teacher, what exactly were you ...... in the temple just now?"

"You won't understand. Hao Ge stared blankly at the stagnant water on the ground, lost in thought.
