Chapter 1 Old Land
The vast land of China is vast and vast. The land of Middle-earth has great rivers and mountains, which are the most rich and fertile. Since ancient times, it has been a must-have place for soldiers, and it is also a preferred place for people who practice true Taoism to establish sects.
Except for the Middle-earth area, the far north is an endless bitter ice field. There are rumors that ordinary people enter it and their breath becomes ice. Although this is suspected of exaggeration, it also shows the severe cold there.
The southern land is the location of the world-famous vast mountains - 100,000 mountains. There are many wild and strange species living in the depths of 100,000 mountains, which are extremely dangerous. The area around the per 100,000 mountains is the place where the 72 barbarians of southern Xinjiang live. Ru Mao drinks blood and is extremely fierce. He often harasses the atomic people. Later, there is a burning incense valley located on the border between the middle soil and the southern Xinjiang, which finally deterred the indigenous people there and keeps the safety of the lives and property of the southern people of Middle-earth.
The west is divided into southwest and northwest.
There is a big fierce land in the southwest, which is a death swamp. It is poisonous fog and poisonous miasma all year round. Even if the true practitioners go there, they should also be careful. If you are not careful, the boat may completely overturn there.
The northwest is another fierce land, which is a wild Gobi. Looking around the yellow sand all over the sky, five days of the sand and dust tornadoes are launched within ten days, which is extremely dangerous. It is said that there is a magnificent temple deep in it, but it is the birthplace of the infamous magic religion.
......
A month later, the late autumn is far away, and it gradually enters winter. The further north it is, the more fierce the cold wind is.
In the rugged official road, Ye Tian was alone, wearing a simple cyan robe and carrying a blue cloth package, he walked slowly on the land frozen because of the cold.
The wind is getting bigger, and the night is about to come.
The cold wind blew on his face, blew up his long hair, and cooled his lonely heart.
His lips were a little dry, but it was because he hadn't drunk water for three days; his face was a little pale, but it was because he hadn't eaten for three days... But his waist and back were still straight, and his eyes were still bright.
This time he is going to the north, the first place where he settled after his rebirth. Although it was only half a day, he still wanted to go, but it was a common fate. He did not choose to fly, but walked over step by step.
This is a mental training and a test of the body.
This section of the official road has been a long time. Because there is no post station pub along the way, few people will walk, and even fewer people will walk in the cold winter.
Rows of withered grass and dead branches passed from both sides, and he walked slowly, as if he would never worry about the distance of the road or his body.
......
The night fell.
A little light lit up in a distant place. Ye Tian's face did not show any strangeness. He still walked slowly, walked into the sporadic lights, and sank into the darkness.
This is an old village, and sporadic lights come from an old house in the front of the village.
It should be a tavern or inn.
Ye Tian stepped forward and gently opened the closed door.
The room is very small and dim. There are only four square tables, and there are fewer people in it. In addition to a middle-aged man who is also a shopkeeper and a sophomore, there are three people sitting at a square table.
Cree...
The disrepaired door made a sound when it opened.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, everyone couldn't help looking over, and their eyes fell on Ye Tian.
Ye Tian didn't care about his doubtful eyes. He looked at the down shopkeeper and smiled and said, "Do you have any wine?"
The shopkeeper did not say anything, but his actions replaced his words.
He bent down, took out a wine jar and put it in front of Ye Tian.
Ye Tian pinched the mouth of the altar with one hand and found a table near the corner. He sat down and put down the package...
"What's there to eat?" Ye Tian asked again.
The middle-aged shopkeeper turned up his turbid eyes and said lightly, "Fried rice with eggs!"
Ye Tian smiled bitterly in his heart and didn't care about it. He just said, "Give me three."
The middle-aged shopkeeper took a deep look at him, turned around and was ready to go.
Ye Tian shook his head, untied the package, took out a cyan gourd, and then patted the clay seal of the wine jar, full of bad wine full of gourds. Then he put away the gourd, tied the package, found a sea bowl, and began to serve wine for himself.
While drinking inferior drinks, he recalled what happened along the way.
Punish evil and promote good, hoe the strong and help the weak...
This is the theme that the chivalrous will never change.
Along the way, he witnessed too many unfortunate people, more unfortunate than himself, more than ten times more painful than himself. He never regarded himself as the most unfortunate person in the world, which is indeed the case.
Compared with many unfortunate people, Ye Tian feels that he is lucky.
He has a father-like master, a mother-like master, a group of loving brothers, and a lovely little sister.
After a while, three fried rice with eggs was served.
Egg fried rice? There are some black rice, but the eggs are not found.
Ye Tian did not complain. He knew that life in these remote areas was not easy, and there was not much to eat.
He was so hungry that he quickly finished three fried rice with eggs and drank wine again.
I was speechless all night, and the light kept dim until dawn.
......
At dawn the next day, the three hurriedly settled the bill and left.
Ye Tian was not so anxious. He asked the middle-aged shopkeeper for three bowls of rice porridge and drank it slowly.
The middle-aged shopkeeper didn't seem to like to talk. He stood there, as if he was waiting for the guests and looking at something.
It was silent again, and only Ye Tian heard the sound of porridge.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hoofs on the ground sounded.
In a moment, a group of soldiers in iron armor broke in.
The leader shouted, "Shopkeeper, did you see these three people just now?" With that, he unfolded a picture, which was a portrait of three people who had just left.
The middle-aged shopkeeper did not hide it. He pointed out the direction of the three people leaving, the north.
The leader snorted coldly and said, "I knew that these three jumping clowns wanted to run to the north." The words turned around and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have anything to eat?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper said lightly, "Fried rice with eggs!"
The leader scolded, "You're playing with me!" With that, he came forward to push the middle-aged man.
It's just that half of his hand has been handed out, and he can no longer move forward.
The middle-aged man clenched the two wrists of the leader with both hands, so that he could no longer move forward.
The leader's face turned red. He couldn't get in. If he wanted to, he couldn't retreat.
The middle-aged man snorted heavily, and his hands suddenly exerted force, and directly pushed the leader out...
The leader had the intention to retreat and was breaking free. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man pushed and suddenly fell back unstablely. For a moment, he bumped into a series of soldiers.
The leader is not a nerd. He knew the importance of the matter and suffered a secret loss. He knew that this fallen middle-aged man was not easy to mess with and shouted, "Let's go!" Then he ran away with a group of soldiers.
Ye Tian had just finished eating, as if he hadn't seen this scene. He said, "Shopkeeper, check out."
The middle-aged shopkeeper said, "A taels of silver."
One jar of wine, three egg fried rice, three rice porridge, one taels of silver, this shopkeeper will make money.
However, Ye Tian obviously didn't care much. He put down the silver, put away the package, and walked out, in the direction of the north.
......
Broken tiles, dead grass and gravel.
This is a desolate scene.
Looking at today's scene, who can imagine that this was a prosperous town in the past?
Walking on this land, Ye Tian seemed to think of the scene where he once stood up in the dead body.
However, he was confused again.
His original intention was to come here to have a look, but did he really just want to see it?
In the depths of my heart, it seems that I still want to avenge the former owner of this body!
But when I really come here, there have been nine cold and summers. What used to be absent is still not there. What used to be there must be still there now?
Was the town really destroyed because of the war?
Now that I think about it, it's obvious that it's not. If it's a war, how can there be no soldiers? How can those ordinary people be killed!
But what's going on with the war?
Nine spring and autumns pass by leisurely. Who should I report the hatred?
Ye Tian doesn't know.
He stood on this land and didn't know anything.
He didn't even know why he came here.
However, he still came after all.
The former corpse has long disappeared, leaving only withered blood buried in the ground and scattered with the wind.
