Six years later.

Yan Yue sat on the bed with his knees crossed, looking at the calm starry sky outside the window.

For six years, he often looked up at the starry sky alone in the dead of night, and the starlight in the night sky often suddenly dimmed, like the wind blowing out the candle flame, and the dim stars never lit up again.

At this time, the starry sky is no longer as twinkling as it was six years ago.

Yan Yue remembered that when he was just sensible, he saw the starry sky, which was full of stars. Then, the stars diminished year by year, until two years ago, when the stars suddenly disappeared in a large area, and the twinkling starry sky stopped calming.

As the starry sky calmed, a huge star appeared in the night sky, and there were many stars underneath this star.

In the past, children in the village often asked the old master in the private school why the stars always twinkle and twinkle, and then disappear.

The old master replied that it was the stars fighting.

Now the children asked the old master why the stars were no longer twinkling.

The old master replied, "That's because the fight has a result, you see, the biggest star is the king, and the people on the side are all small soldiers."

This huge star hanging in the night sky is called the Moon of Izumo by cultivators.

This Izumo moon is like the sun half obscured by clouds, the upper part is bright and translucent, and the lower part is surrounded by stars, and the moonlight is hazy.

Yan Shaoyuan has a lot of books about strange things at home, Yan Yue often reads them, and some books mention, "In ancient times, there was a moon, and there was a shadow in the moon, and the shadow was like a galloping horse......"

In order to distinguish between the two, cultivators also called the ancient moon of shadows the ancient moon, and the current moon of Izumo as the new moon.

"Gu Yue, New Moon, don't think about this, tomorrow you have to get up early to exercise and sleep!"

"Knock-knock!knock!knock!knock!knock!".

One slow, four fast, and five more voices sounded in the big tree village.

It was winter, the cold wind was biting, and the sky was still hazy on the fifth watch, but a family turned on the lights with the sound of the change.

After a while, the door of one of the bedrooms of this family creaked open, and a young man dressed in a thin and neat outfit walked out of the room, and the chill hit his bones, making him shiver.

The young man's face is resolute and his eyes are bright, it is Yan Yue.

He has moved back into his home and lives alone.

Yan Yue exhaled a breath of white air, closed the door, squatted down under the eaves, supported the ground with both hands, stretched back his legs, and straightened his whole body. Then lower your body to the floor with your hands and then rely on the strength of your arms to prop your body up.

After more than 100 times of such an equalization, Yan Yue stood up, moved his body in the courtyard again, and trotted away outside the village.

He left the village, ran along the path, towards a hillside, came to the bottom of the hill, crouched down, crossed his fingers behind his back, and began to jump along the uphill path.

During the jump, a yellow gourd hanging on his waist swayed up and down as he jumped.

Jumping forward for a distance, Yan Yue felt that his legs were extremely sore, he stopped, looked back behind him, looked ahead again, gritted his teeth and continued to jump forward.

When he reached the top of the mountain, he had to pause and recharge every jump, but he still did not give up, and finally, when the sky showed a hint of fish's belly, he reached the top of the mountain in this way.

When he came to a big tree, he took off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body, and his wheat-colored skin was covered with beads of sweat, which made the strong muscles on his body more toned, and his well-proportioned and coordinated figure made him have a unique temperament with an ordinary appearance.

Yan Yue began to punch and punch the trunk of the tree, and the snow on the tree from yesterday "instigated" and "instigated" to fall, falling on his body, but he didn't realize it.

"Click!" As Yan Yue's fist shot down, the big tree fell with a bang.

Because Yan Yue had hit the same place for many years, the inside of the trunk had long been destroyed, and it was finally broken at this time.

Yan Yue looked at the big tree that fell to the ground, looked at the somewhat red and swollen fist, and said in surprise: "In the past few years, the exercise that my father asked me to do is not in vain!"

In the past six years, Yan Shaoyuan has often gone far away, and comes back once a year in half a year.

Every time he came back, he would bring back some medicinal wine that regulated qi and blood, instructed Yan Yue to store the medicinal wine in a mysterious gourd, store it for a period of time before drinking, and urged Yan Yue to exercise, saying that he had a thin physique and needed to exercise.

And Yan Yue has not succeeded in opening the light for six years, and he is very unwilling in his heart, under the supervision of Yan Shaoyuan, after forging his body several times, he feels that the matter of opening the light is ethereal, and only the breakthrough of physical fitness is real.

So for six years, he has been exercising every day.

After exercising for a while, he took off the gourd hanging from his waist, pulled out the cork, and suddenly a strong aroma of wine wafted out, and he took the gourd and raised his head to drink.

After a few sips of wine, Yan Yue only felt a warm current flowing in his body, and his whole body was extremely comfortable and refreshed.

After resting for a while, he sat down cross-legged on the top of the mountain and began his uninterrupted spiritual cultivation for six years.

Yan Yue's whole body was bathed in the rising sun, and a trace of white gas continued to evaporate from his body.

"After the New Year, the season of Shangxian is back, I must ask him to help me open the light again, maybe this time it will be ......"

While Yan Yue has been forging his body every day for six years, his spiritual cultivation has never fallen.

In the past six years, in the first few years, he has asked Ji Boyan many times to help him try to open the light, but as before, the spiritual light cannot be injected into the sea of knowledge.

Later, Ji Boyan was annoyed when he saw Yan Yue, so he was afraid to avoid it.

Yan Yue never went to look for him again, but just a few days ago, the uncomfortable feeling that had existed on the top of his head since he discovered the spiritual light suddenly disappeared, making this Yan Yue's gloomy heart rekindle hope.

But this is the end of the year, Ji Boyan is not in the village, and he will not come back until after the New Year.

Yan Yue's aura is greater than that of ordinary people, and if you remove the clouds and mist around its outer circle, it is even deeper inside.

If the best aura-star light is a star, then Yan Yue's auralight is a galaxy!

Those who have the best spiritual light only need to light up one star, while Yan Yue needs to light up the entire galaxy.

It's just that there seems to be clouds and mist around his aura, so that he can't perceive the situation inside, even if a monk like the white-haired old man can't peek into a corner of it after opening the Heavenly Eye.

Although Yan Yue's uncomfortable feeling on the top of his head had disappeared, he was not sure in his heart whether he had attained spiritual perfection and continued to cultivate.

The first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival.

This is an extremely important festival every year.

This day is not only the beginning of the new year, but also the day of the "arrival" of Emperor Yan, the ancestor of Xiuzhen.

On this day, people with blood relations gathered together to worship the New Year, give red envelopes, sit around the fire, and tell the story of Emperor Yan driving away the New Year beast.

In Yan Yue's grandfather's house, more than half of the villagers in Dashu Village were there, and there was a brazier in the hall, and a large cluster of flames was burning in it, reflecting the whole hall house red.

"Legend has it that five thousand years ago, the god Emperor Yan came to the world to drive away the ...... beasts" Yan Yue's grandfather was telling the story of Emperor Yan to the children.

The children gathered around Yan Yue's grandfather and listened attentively, "Grandpa, grandpa, what is the Nian Beast?"

"This beast, well, is a fierce beast that is afraid of fire, but it is not afraid of the mortal fire of our mortals, only the divine fire of the god Yanhuang. Five thousand years ago, our land was full of such ferocious beasts, and we could only live in caves in the mountains. ”

"What happened?" the children asked excitedly, even though they listened to it once a year.

"Later, our savior, Emperor Yan, appeared, and with a wave of his big hand, the fire that burned the whole sky turned red, and from then on, there were no more Nian beasts. Therefore, our ancestor Emperor Yan is the reincarnation of the fire god in the sky, which must not be fake. Yan Yue's grandfather spoke with a fluttering eyebrow, as if he had personally experienced the scene at that time.

He Gengnong didn't see Yan Yue in the crowd, and asked Yan Shaoyuan: "Where is Ah Yue, where did you go?"

"Let's sleep at home. "Although Yan Shaoyuan often goes far away, he will come back during the New Year's holidays.

"If you don't come to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, why are you still sleeping lazily at home!" After He Gengnong finished speaking, he braved the heavy snow and went to Yan Yue's house.

He Gengnong came to the courtyard of Yan Yue's house, looked in from the window, and vaguely saw Yan Yue sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, he called and walked into the house.

After pushing open the door of Yan Yue's bedroom, he saw Yan Yue lying in the quilt.

He stepped forward to call, and Yan Yue woke up with sleepy eyes.

He Gengnong was stunned, then understood, shook his head and smiled, and said, "I was obviously meditating and cultivating, why did I pretend to sleep when I heard that my uncle was coming?"

Yan Yue scratched his head embarrassedly and said in a low voice: "The efforts made in vain will make people laugh at ......"

Yan Yue has always been unable to open the light, and the villagers treat him coldly, if they see that he is still trying, he will be even more sneering and sneering, and all kinds of evil words will be used against him.

But Yan Yue was unwilling to give up, so he usually hid and secretly cultivated alone.

He Gengnong knew what Yan Yue had happened to over the years, and when he saw the inferiority complex in his eyes, he patted Yan Yue on the shoulder, smiled heartily, and said, "You don't need to live for other people's opinions!"

Yan Yue was silent.

He Gengnong said again: "You will be an adult after the New Year, go, give your grandparents New Year's greetings." ”

Whenever there is a New Year's holiday, Yan Yue is inevitably criticized by his relatives for no reason, and he doesn't want to go in his heart. But seeing that He Gengnong was overflowing with his concern for himself, and he came in the snow, it was difficult to resist his enthusiasm, so he agreed.

Walking on the snow, Yan Yue said: "Uncle, after the New Year, I will be an adult, I heard that the outside world is very big, and I want to go out and have a look." ”

He Gengnong shook his head and said, "I heard that there is a lot of chaos outside now, but don't go out." ”

Yan Yue said suspiciously: "What's going on outside now?"

He Gengnong said: "It seems to be a battle between cultivators, I don't know very well. ”
