The darkness covered the entire night sky, and the faint glow of the waning moon brought a trace of light to the Tomb of Thousand Souls.
The dilapidated building looked as if it had been baptized for thousands of years. A few broken pillars stood around it, and pits of various sizes were filled with bones and limbs. A breeze blew, and an unpleasant rotten smell spread in the air... The ear-piercing roar was the low roar of a beast, or perhaps…The summoning of a thousand souls…
The Thousand Souls Tomb was once the resting place of countless generals who had made great contributions to the war. It was also the holy land in the hearts of countless Beimang citizens. This place was the place where their obsessions and beliefs were entrusted. However, with the baptism of time and the burying of history, people's reverence for the Thousand Souls Tomb slowly cooled down. Until now, even dead villains or starving beggars had been dumped here…Even... There were also some broken limbs of livestock left behind…
In a huge pit, countless corpses piled up into a mountain. With the help of the residual light, one could vaguely see the ghastly white bones and broken limbs, as if they had been there for some time. Comparatively speaking, the corpses on the mountain of corpses were slightly more complete. Other than a few pools of blood, there were also some unweathered silk. Clearly, these corpses had just been thrown here, and this was also the source of the rotting smell.
All kinds of expressions spread across the pale faces in the pile of corpses. There was cruelty, fear, and death with grievances…After which, at this moment, among the many faces, there was a small pale face that was extremely eye-catching. This was because his upper teeth were biting his lower lip tightly. His brows were frowning even more tightly, indicating that…He was still alive…
After a long time, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and the corners of his bloodshot lips trembled slightly. His tightly shut eyes slowly opened at this moment…
'Finally…I've finally survived…'
In the cycle of reincarnation, he had run for an unknown period of time. Ten years…A hundred years…Or even further. He clearly remembered the terrible environment and the silent danger…Let him live a life where he only knew how to escape. When he saw a ray of light, he seemed to have seen hope…
Looking at the corpse on top of his body, his childish face did not show any panic. His eyes, which were not proportional to his age, revealed a trace of desolation. He gritted his teeth and moved up with all his might. A pale little hand slowly pulled out from the pile of corpses, followed by another hand. Then, his entire body slowly crawled out as well. It was as if he had used up all his strength…
The night breeze blew past, and the young man's long, dirty hair was blown behind his head, revealing a young face. He looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. His body was not considered slender, and his pale face was considered delicate. It was just a tattered linen robe covered with dirty things…
After wiping the ashes off his body, the young man rubbed his stiff face and stood on top of the corpse without avoiding suspicion…He took a deep breath at the deathly aura that filled the sky. At this moment, this nauseating deathly aura was still beautiful to him.
'Since I really survived…' The young man looked at the distant horizon, where he could vaguely see the rising sun. He muttered,'I wonder how senior Ye Xiao and the others are doing. Sigh…She had to find a chance to thank him properly. Senior Ye Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely live well…Chi Xue, are you alright?"
The sky gradually brightened, and the deathly aura of the Thousand Souls Tomb also faded. The miserable appearance made the young man frown. After taking a serious look, he dragged his weak body and moved north without looking back... There was someone he cared about there…
Beimang City was located in the south of the Beixuan Empire, bordering the Thousand Soul Tomb.
The 30-foot-tall city wall revealed some simplicity. Even after experiencing several years of prosperity, it was still desolate. The corrosion of time... It still stood tall between heaven and earth. The moat, which was several zhang wide, was like a mother's embrace as it tightly wrapped around the huge Beimang City…
'Beimang City?' The young man muttered softly. His pale face was stained with some dirt. The color of his tattered linen clothes could no longer be distinguished. The rags could no longer cover his thin and weak body. Beimang City was the first city he saw on his way from the Thousand Soul Tomb.
The young man lifted his heavy footsteps and walked towards the city. When he reached the moat, the young man raised his eyebrows. In the dry river ditch, there was only a small pond of turbid water. He dived into the water. It had been three days, and his tensed body finally relaxed. He was like a fish in the water, swimming happily. Float up…It sank again…
After a long time, the young man sat by the river with his upper body bare. He grabbed a raw fish in his hand and kept stuffing it into his mouth. The excitement he had in the water was long gone. After eating a raw fish, his gaze turned to the tall city gate. Through the crack of the door, he could vaguely see the people in the city. The young man was stunned for a moment as he held the clothes that looked like cloth strips. He helplessly put them on and slowly walked into the city…
The noisy hawkers and the bustling streets made him feel a sense of familiarity. Looking at this harmonious scene, the youth sighed slightly.'I wonder how much time has passed in the world during my reincarnation…Looks like I should find someone to ask…'
His gaze turned to his surroundings and looked at the buildings of different heights. He immediately stopped at the door of a relatively clean shop. Perhaps it was because the weather was a little hot, but the small teahouse was filled with people. The young man hesitated for a moment before slowly walking over…
" Where did this little beggar come from? Scram to the side and don't hinder me from doing business." The young man who had walked to the door was blocked by a rough man.
Frowning, the young man sized himself up again. Looking at his tattered clothes, he felt a little funny. This was really... It felt like a tiger had fallen to the ground…
The burly man looked at the little beggar. Not only did he not leave, but he was even laughing. He was furious and said angrily,'Brat, I'll kill you…' Then, his strong arm grabbed the young man's collar, wanting to throw the beggar out.
The young man smiled as he looked at the hand that was grabbing the corner of his collar. He looked at the burly man with a face full of ridicule. He didn't even want to say anything when he met such a person.
Just as the burly man was about to throw it out with all his might, his eyes were filled with fear. He hurriedly retracted his hand, but it was too late…The seemingly strong arm was already hanging limply on his arm. You... You '
'You what? If you don't want the other one to become like this…Get lost!
Just as the youth finished speaking, the fierce-looking man retreated to the side in fear. He immediately squeezed out an ugly smile and said fawningly,'Young Master, please come in…' He also knew that he had kicked a steel plate today. He could only break his front teeth and swallow it. Judging from the strange scene earlier, even if there were ten of him, he wouldn't be able to defeat this little beggar!
The young man looked at the burly man who seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person and was stunned.
The burly man looked at the dumbfounded young man and thought that he was angry. He retreated to the door of the shop and bowed to make a gesture of invitation." Young Master, Zhang Biao is blind. Please don't take it to heart.'
'Uh...' The burly man had already done this much. The young man scratched the back of his head and said in embarrassment,'I…I don't have money.
" It's free. Eat as much as you want. The store is mine. Please, Young Master…" The burly man was very cooperative. He looked at the young man longingly.
The store was not very large, but there were quite a number of people. At this moment, many people looked at a table in the corner with strange gazes. There, a burly man was constantly putting food into a little beggar's bowl. His fawning manner made them think that they were seeing things.
'That's…Is that Zhang Biao?
'That's right, it's him. Since when did this bastard become so kind…'
'That's right…All the beggars in the vicinity have been scared away by him. Why is this little beggar...'
The two people in the corner acted as if they did not hear him. One of them stuffed food into his mouth like a whirlwind, while the other carried a wine pot and kept serving wine.
There were only half of the dishes left on the table. The young man put down his chopsticks and looked at the burly man, Zhang Biao, and said softly," Thank you for the meal. Can you tell me what year it is? Was this place far from the Snow God Peak in Thule?'
'Ah…Zhang Biao looked at the young man in shock. A strange look flashed in his eyes, but he still answered honestly,'This year is the year 1889 of the Yuan calendar. As for the Snow God Peak that Young Master mentioned, I don't know…
'Year 1889 of the Yuan calendar…' The young man's originally delicate and pretty face darkened. His clenched fists made cracking sounds, and a sharp aura spread out. Zhang Biao's heart trembled at the side, and everyone's eyes were filled with surprise. The originally noisy store completely quieted down...
After a long time, a furious roar came from the store and circled the sky above the entire South City. It did not dissipate for a long time…
'To hell with reincarnation…'
