In a ruins, a black-tailed deer was grazing quietly. Suddenly a sharp arrow shot from the darkness, hitting the neck of the black-tailed deer who had no time to react. After running for a few seconds, he fell to the ground.
At this time, a strong man came from the direction where the sharp arrow was shot. The strong man looked at today's prey with satisfaction and smiled.
"Today's dinner is here, it's time for my wife to praise me again, haha!" The strong man laughed with satisfaction.
Just as he was about to pick up today's prey, the strong man suddenly noticed something strange on the stone platform not far away, so he walked over to check it out. After walking a few steps, I saw something strange on the stone platform.
"It's actually a person?" With surprise and confusion, the strong man stepped forward.
I saw a man lying on the stone platform with short hair, a handsome face, his eyes closed, wearing strange clothes, and a black stone shaped like a spoon jade hanging around his neck. The strong man put his finger close to the man's nose and said, "You're still breathing." After thinking for a moment, the strong man made a decision.
…
After a burst of medicinal fragrance hit his face, Shi Jiu slowly opened his eyes. What caught his eye was a little girl with ancient hair style. The girl was holding a bowl of soup in one hand and a spoon in the other hand. Steaming hot. "You finally woke up." The little girl said in surprise.
"Aniang, come here quickly, he's awake." The girl turned her head and said to the other side of the room.
Shi Jiu shook his head, then tried his best to stand up, "Just where?"
"This is my home. You were unconscious and my husband-in-law carried you back." At this time, a woman walked over, dressed in simple clothes, and her gentle tone could feel her kind concern.
Looking at the mother and daughter in ancient costumes in front of him, Shi Jiu knew what must have happened.
"You should rest first. If you have any questions, wait until my husband comes back. Drink the medicine first." The woman took the medicine bowl and handed it to Shi Jiu. Shi Jiu didn't think too much and quietly started drinking the medicine.
In the evening, the strong man came back. Looking at the thick man with dark tendon flesh in front of him, Shi Jiu solemnly thanked him.
"My surname is Li, you can call me Brother Li." The strong man said.
"My name is Shi Jiu. Thank you Brother Li for saving my life."
"This is Tahou Village. I found you in the Reincarnation Tower. You were unconscious at the time, so I carried you back." As if he knew what Shi Jiu wanted to ask, the strong man said it directly.
"Reincarnation Tower?" Shi Jiu asked doubtfully.
"Yes, that's the tall tower." After saying that, the strong man pointed out the window.
So Shi Jiu followed the direction and looked into the distance. It was a tower hundreds of meters high. There was an obvious break at the highest point of the tower. There were many ruins scattered below the tower. Even from a distance, Shi Jiu could still feel the majesty of the tower.
"The old man in the village said that according to legend, the tower had an extraordinary origin and was once able to attract people from outside the world. Later, in a war tens of thousands of years ago, the tower was destroyed." Speaking of this, the strong man showed regret. , "By the way, where are you from and why do you appear in the tower?"
"I can't remember. The only thing I know is that my name is Shi Jiu. Thank you for saving me, Brother Li." Shi Jiu said with gratitude and seriously.
"It doesn't matter, you stay here first. I guess you hurt your head and need to recuperate. Besides, the people in our village are very nice. I will introduce it to everyone tomorrow so that you will not be born." Brother Li continued: "Ah, By the way, this is my wife and daughter."
"Call me Sister-in-law Li, you are probably not older than us, my daughter Xiaolan."
"Thank you Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li."
"You're welcome, let's go, let's eat. After eating, have a good sleep and meet the villagers tomorrow."
"good."
…
At night, Shi Jiu did not fall asleep. Recalling the conversation in the evening, he hid part of it. "It seems that I have traveled through time. God, are you going to give me another life?" Shi Jiu remembered that he was on his way to school, but unfortunately he was hit by a car while trying to save a little girl. After that, he had nothing to do with anything. I remember it until I woke up today.
"Now that I am reborn, I will seize this opportunity and live a brilliant life without letting myself have any regrets. If possible, well, I should also try to find a way to go back." The goal has been set, and Shi Jiu is not here either Sad about the past, take a good sleep first, get familiar with the village tomorrow, and learn as much as possible about this strange world.
When he woke up the next day, Shi Jiu found that there were many people in the room, and the one standing at the front was an old man with a white beard and a cane. The old man looked at Shi Jiu, then smiled and said: "I am the village chief. Xiao Lizi told us about you. Don't worry, the people in the village are very nice. Let Xiao Lizi take you to the city to see the doctor tomorrow. Doctor Ge here has superb medical skills and should be able to cure your disease."
"Thank you, village chief." Shi Jiu said gratefully.
Afterwards, Shi Jiu followed everyone out of the room and came outside. This was also the first time Shi Jiu looked at this strange world.
The village is not very big. The houses here are all made of wood. There is a small square paved with cobblestones not far away, and there are rolling mountains in the distance. The light sky, dark clouds, and of course the most conspicuous thing is the towering Reincarnation Tower in the distance. Although it has been broken for thousands of years and is covered in ruins, you can still feel its simplicity and majesty.
While looking at all this strangeness, Shi Jiu also felt that there was something faint and special permeating the place. Although he couldn't see it, he could feel it. Shi Jiu was secretly curious, this world was really different from the earth.
"Village Chief, I feel something special around me. Although I can't touch it, I can feel it." Shi Jiu asked.
"Oh? Really? Can you really feel it?" the village chief asked in surprise.
"Well, yes. And I kind of like this feeling." Shi Jiu answered honestly.
"It seems that you are really not an ordinary person. The thing you feel is called Ming Yuan, which is unique to our underworld." The village chief looked at Shi Jiu and said.
"I don't know much about Ming Yuan, but it is necessary for strong people to practice. Strong people guide Ming Yuan to practice their skills. When they practice to the extreme, they can go to heaven and earth, and they can do anything. But ordinary people can't feel it, but ordinary people can't feel it. What I can feel is that they are the best among people." After saying that, a look of envy appeared on the village chief's face.
"You can feel it, which means you have an extraordinary background, and maybe you have the potential to become a strong man. The city owner of Liushan City where you are going tomorrow is a strong man who can cultivate Ming Yuan."
"Ming Yuan." Shi Jiu nodded thoughtfully.
Afterwards, Shi Jiu, led by the village chief, walked around the village and learned more about the village. Tahou Village, a village with simple folk customs, got its name because it is not far from the Reincarnation Tower. It is under the jurisdiction of Liushan City.
Then, the village chief pointed to the rolling mountains in the north direction of the village: "That is the Hengduan Mountains, where there are a large number of underworld beasts. There are underworld cores in the underworld beasts. The underworld cores are very valuable and are very helpful to cultivators. Our village is far away from the The Hengduan Mountains are not far away, so people who hunt underworld beasts often pass by our village."
"It's a pity that there are no cultivators in our village, otherwise we would be able to go into the mountains and kill the underworld beasts." After saying this, the village chief sighed.
The village chief's words made Shi Jiu feel uneasy.
"This is the underworld, the place where people go after death? Do myths and legends reflect reality? It's different from what I imagined. Why didn't I see King Yama? It seems that myths and legends also have some basis." Shi Jiu thought about it. The village chief said, "Cultivate Ming Yuan and become a strong man, maybe you can find a way to go back." Shi Jiu had an idea in his heart.
At this time, the village chief looked at Shi Jiu who was thinking, and said with a smile: "When you recover your memory, you may be able to practice. By the way, go to the city tomorrow and follow Xiao Lizi and the others. After finishing the matter, come back as soon as possible. Horse bandits are rampant recently. , the city lord is suppressing bandits, safety comes first."
"Thank you, village chief, I'll remember it." Shi Jiu replied.
"Don't worry, village chief. Aren't you still at ease while I'm doing some work? I'll be back when I'm done." The strong man Li Ge said confidently.
…
At night, Shi Jiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"In my previous life, I liked reading fantasy novels, and I also imagined that now that God has given me a chance to be reborn in the underworld, I will become a strong man and be free in the world!" While Shi Jiu was feeling happy in his heart, he wore the black t-shirt on his chest. Shaoyu flashed imperceptibly, and then returned to calm.
