The Barbarian Mountain was vast and boundless. It was filled with lofty mountains and continuous mountain ranges. Wild beasts and strange birds roamed everywhere. In this endless savage forest, there were many legendary primitive tribes living in seclusion.
In the middle of a desolate mountain, in an ancient mountain range, there was a small village that had lived for generations. There were more than a hundred families and hundreds of villagers in the village. He lived a quiet life isolated from the world. They worked at sunrise and rested at moonrise. They were self-sufficient and rarely came into contact with the outside world.
The morning glow shone on the deep forest, making the raindrops on the branches and flowers in the forest crystal clear. It was as if bright pearls were rolling, and the fresh air was refreshing.
It was a vibrant morning.
"Xiaogu, what do you think?" In a dilapidated stone house in an ancient village deep within Man Mountain, a white-haired old man sat upright. His face was haggard and he wore a beast skin coat. His wrinkled face, which had been through many hardships, carried a complicated and indescribable emotion. He said to the other middle-aged man in the stone house. The middle-aged man was tall and sturdy, and his black hair draped over his shoulders. At this moment, his brows were slightly furrowed as he paced back and forth, as if he was thinking about something.
"Uncle Hua, I have a strange feeling.”The middle-aged man shifted his gaze to the heavily injured and unconscious young man on the stone bed.（
"Mm, let's wait until the young man wakes up. Why would he appear in the depths of the Man Mountain? And according to what Wolf Child said, he was found in the Ancient Barbaric Dragon's lair. This was really puzzling…”
"Boom! Boom!" The stone room trembled slightly. The two figures gradually disappeared, and the stone room was silent. A gentle glow shone through the dilapidated stone window. It sprinkled large patches of golden color, adding a touch of vitality to this dull and quiet stone house.
He was lying quietly on the stone bed. Faint breathing could be heard from his nose. However, he was still unconscious at this moment. Bean-sized sweat kept appearing on his pale handsome face. His dry lips trembled as if he was muttering something.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a heart-wrenching roar rang out in the stone room. The unconscious young man on the stone bed suddenly opened his eyes. Traces of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth. Cold sweat had already soaked his clothes, as if he had just had a very terrifying nightmare.
"I didn't expect…I, Xiao Chen, am still alive?”After a long while, the young man's lifeless eyes finally regained a trace of vitality. The past was like a tide as scenes surged out.
"Where am I?" Xiao Chen came back to his senses and began to carefully size up everything in front of him. Xiao Chen slowly spat out the dry and hoarse words.
"Rumble…" The stone house trembled slightly again, and then a series of hurried footsteps sounded.
"That's great. You're finally awake." Hearing this slightly immature voice, Xiao Chen, who was lying on the stone bed, turned his head with great effort. What he saw was a youth of about seven or eight years old. He was dressed in a beast skin robe. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His thin face was filled with a sincere and friendly smile, especially his pair of sapphire eyes. They were clear and bright, making him unforgettable.
"Hmm? Who are you? What was this place?“
"Your words are so strange. This is where we live. My name is Gu San 'er. You were brought back by Big Brother Cang Lang from outside.”The young man's clear and innocent eyes were filled with curiosity as he carefully sized up the young man who came from outside.
" Hmm?..." Although his accent was strange and awkward, Xiao Chen could roughly understand it. He had a vague guess in his heart.
"Oh, right, I was so focused on talking to you that I almost forgot about the important matter. Fifth Granduncle once instructed that if you wake up, you must inform him immediately.”At this point, the young man named Gu San 'er suddenly slapped his forehead and playfully stuck out his tongue at Xiao Chen before running away.
The stone house quieted down once again. The faint sound of insects could be heard from time to time, but Xiao Chen's heart was surging at this moment.
"Young man, you're awake." Not long after, an old voice came from outside the stone house. Immediately after, the old man walked towards him shakily with a walking stick. It was terrifying to look at, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
" Hiss-" Instinctively, Xiao Chen wanted to stand up and help the old man up. However, the moment he moved, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. The intense pain, as if he had been struck by lightning, almost made him faint again.
"Hehe, young man, this old man is not as weak as you think. With your current situation, you should take care of yourself.”The white-bearded old man wearing a linen coat could not help but shake his head and chuckle when he saw Xiao Chen's actions.
"Old man, I am Xiao Chen. Thank you for saving my life. Can you tell me what this place is?”Xiao Chen's face turned red when he heard this. He then asked. This question was especially important to him now.
"All the bones in your body are broken, and your veins are in tatters. It's a miracle that you're still alive.”The old man did not directly answer Xiao Chen's question. Instead, he muttered thoughtfully.
Looking at Xiao Chen, who was lying on the bed and unable to move, the old man continued,"This Man Mountain region is located in the extreme north of the Eastern Wastelands. We are a hidden tribe that lives in seclusion in the depths of the Man Mountains and rarely interact with the outside world.”
Looking at the dazed Xiao Chen, the old man couldn't help but frown and slowly added,"The Eastern Barren Territory is vast and boundless. It's normal that you haven't heard of some places. " However…" The old man came to the side of the stone bed and stared out of the stone window with a thoughtful expression.
"Sure enough, could it be true?" Although it was just a few words, Xiao Chen's mind was already in turmoil. Although he was severely injured and could not move, he was still in a daze. However, this didn't mean that he couldn't think. On the contrary, he was thinking about many things. Sacred Martial inheritance, fierce pursuit, forced to jump off the cliff…all these scenes seemed to be replaying in his eyes. Although he still didn't know what this place was, he was basically certain that it wasn't the cultivation world he was familiar with!
"Alright, young man, there's no need to think about anything else. Now, you can stay here and rest well.”After a long while, the grey-robed old man turned around and spoke to Xiao Chen, who was deep in thought. Then, he held onto his walking stick and slowly walked out of the stone house.
"Surviving a great disaster, in a foreign world? Hehe, it seems that the heavens have been treating me well.”Under such a tragic pursuit, he had already lost all hope of survival. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel lucky.
However, he was a little depressed after that because his body was in a terrible state. His veins and bones were almost damaged, and there was not much energy left in his body. This was really difficult for him to accept now.
"I believe that there is always a way. Since I, Xiao Chen, didn't die in such a tragic environment, I believe that I, Xiao Chen, will stand up again. "In this self-comfort, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of fatigue. He slowly fell asleep again. He was seriously injured now.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chen slowly woke up from his deep sleep. However, he realized that there was already someone beside him. It was still the same young man called Gu Zhi 'er. At this moment, he was staring at a pair of big eyes that were as bright as black gems, carefully sizing up Xiao Chen.
"Aiya, Brother Xiao, you're finally awake. Do you know that you've been unconscious for three days now? " After seeing Xiao Chen wake up, Gu Zhi 'er's tender face immediately bloomed with an innocent smile as he said excitedly.
"Ahem, are you Gu San 'er? "After a violent cough, Xiao Chen's pale face revealed a friendly smile. Xiao Chen still liked this little boy very much. Speaking of details, Gu Zhi 'er could be considered the first person Xiao Chen had seen since he came to this strange world.
"Yes, that's right. Brother Xiao, you are still weak. You should rest well. If you need anything, just call me. Brother Xiao, you can call me San Er from now on. Everyone calls me that in the village.”
"Thank you, San Er."
"Brother Xiao, since you're awake, I'll go get you something to eat.”Gu San 'er slowly walked out of the stone house, leaving Xiao Chen alone to think.
Not long after, the fragrance of rice wafted over. Gu San 'er came in from outside the house with a rough wooden tray. With Gu San 'er's help, he picked up the bowl of porridge that Gu San' er had handed over. He could not help but sigh in his heart, It felt like a lifetime ago. I didn't expect to be able to sit at the dining table again. Things are unpredictable!
At this moment, Xiao Chen's stomach was empty, so it was not suitable for him to eat greasy things. A bowl of porridge was just right. After dinner, the sky was already dark. Xiao Chen lay quietly on the stone bed. A candle was lit in the room, and the candlelight filled the stone house with a gentle warmth. On the stone bed, Xiao Chen's heart could not calm down for a long time, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
Xiao Chen was an orphan. He had been alone since he was young and lived a miserable life. When he was seven years old, in the middle of a snowy night, he was hungry and cold. He fell into a coma and was taken in by an old man passing by. At that moment, Xiao Chen's life completely changed. The old man's identity was shocking. He was actually the sect master of the Lingyun Sect, a supreme sect in the world of cultivation. From then on, he had his first family member in his life-his master. From then on, he had been cultivating with his master. From then on, Xiao Chen's amazing cultivation talent began to slowly show. Before he was twenty, he had become a top expert among the younger generation and was famous in the cultivation world. Until that one incident happened, everything had changed…What a joke!
The candle's tears dried up, and with a final flash of sparks, the room fell into darkness.
The stars outside the window were twinkling, and the night was exceptionally quiet. However, for Xiao Chen, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
