In the land of the Eastern Wasteland, most of the fringes are deep mountains and old forests, and there are many mountains.

The small barren mountain stands here. The mountain range is long and spans tens of miles. There are many wild animals and plants in the forest. The active life is reflected in this small barren mountain. The long Qingshui ancient river originates here and traverses for several days. For ten miles, it flows toward the deeper regions of the Eastern Desolation.

The morning sun is like fire, reflecting the red clouds.

On the banks of the Qingshui River, the green water meanders, the ancient vines embrace the trees, and the river flows calmly. It is as clear as jade, and the river is surrounded by mountains. In the golden light of the morning sun, it is like a golden light belt, bright and bright. Reflect the Quartet.

The Qingshui River feeds the wilderness. Most of the riversides are birds and beasts drawing water. The fishy smell overflows, accompanied by the howling wind of the wet soil and clear water, setting off an ancient rhyme brewing in this southern barren land.

The river flows quietly, across the spring and autumn, and through the four seasons, nurturing the people living on this land.

At this moment, on a large bluestone by the river, a young man dressed in animal skins was lying there quietly, bathing in the rising sun.

The golden sunlight shone on his body, reflecting his immature face.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old face, delicate and handsome, slightly light eyebrows, slightly long black hair like black jade, drooping on the shoulders, scattered casually.

He was nearly four or five feet tall, and was wearing a black unknown animal skin. The skin under the animal skin was bronze in color, emitting a faint moist light in the rising sun.

If you look closely, you can even see some scars on the body, which are the imprints left on his body by plants, trees and beasts.

The young man was lying on the bluestone, his thin lips were tightly closed, his eyes were also closed, his chest heaved and fluctuated, and between his breaths and breaths, a faint mist could be faintly seen reverberating in his nostrils.

This is practicing!

When the sun rose high and the sun was getting thicker, the boy suddenly opened his eyes.

In a trance, there seemed to be a flash of lightning flashing across his eyes, dazzling and penetrating.

His name is Li Yue, he is a child born and raised in this mountain, he lives in an ancient village not far away, now he is nearly twelve years old, but he has never stepped out of this mountain.

"call!"

The young man exhaled lightly, and suddenly, a white sword of air shot out from his mouth, flying straight for several feet, before it turned into dense air and dissipated in the heaven and earth.

He pushed his palms up, and with a jerk, his body jumped off the bluestone like a monkey, and he stood on the ground barefoot.

Raising his head and looking at the sky, the young man's pitch-black eyes had a different kind of warm and moist color, combined with his light sword eyebrows and delicate and handsome face, he exuded a dusty and comfortable atmosphere.

"Still no breakthrough?"

Li Yue sighed slightly and shook his head.

Feeling slightly, you can clearly see the boundless golden sea of ​​bitterness churning with the waves in the lower abdomen. In the center of the deep sea of ​​bitterness, a miraculous spring flows slowly. The golden divine power follows his breathing rhythm like a tide. Rush through the meridians, draw a complete circle, and then sink into the sea of ​​suffering.

After this complete cycle, his muscles, bones, skin and flesh were all moistened, his body seemed to be emitting a faint halo, the sea of ​​bitterness was rushing, and there were many runes in the golden divine power that were endlessly extinguished.

It has been five or six years since Li Yue practiced, and now his cultivation has fallen into a bottleneck. No matter how he practices, it seems that there is no breakthrough at all.

This was very helpless, and made the young him feel slightly disappointed!

But soon, Li Yue looked away, "If there is no breakthrough, then there is no breakthrough. Anyway, this pass is a pass, which stumps many people, but I believe that one day, I, Li Yue, will be able to break through the great realm of Lunhai. Reach the Dao Palace level!"

He is not a pessimistic person. It is common for him to be difficult to break through the mountains for several months or even years when he has reached his level of practice, so there is nothing strange about him.

"It's just that Grandpa is going to be disappointed again. In the entire Liuxian Village, there are strong people who haven't been out of the secret realm of the Taoist Palace for a long time. If I can break through, then the village will be able to stand firm in this mountain!"

"Let's do it!"

He smiled, his dark eyes swept around, looking at the birds and beasts coming to draw water by the river, a smile flashed across his eyes.

"Hey, there's a lot of food, what should I eat this time? Boar? Dog? Or the delicious snow chicken?" Thinking of the delicious snow chicken, the boy's saliva seemed to flow down.

"It doesn't matter, let's catch one for breakfast first!"

The young man is greedy for food. Since he practiced cultivation, he has eaten almost all the wild beasts and birds in this mountain, even the monsters and beasts have eaten a lot. For this reason, his barbecue skills have improved over time, which is quite impressive. Somewhat skilled.

Fierce beasts and monsters are powerful beasts. However, ferocious beasts do not have much wisdom, but they are equally powerful and can compete with practitioners. There are also many ferocious beasts in this mountain.

Looking at the group of beasts by the river, the young man jerked his body, all the muscles in his body collapsed, and shot out like a spring, and rushed towards there quickly.

While running, he somehow ingested a stone the size of a chicken egg in the palm of his hand. While running, he looked at those beasts and birds.

"Give it to me, Zhong!"

With strength in his arms and bulging muscles, the boy threw the stone in his hand violently.

"hold head high!"

There was a sharp sound of broken wind, and the stone cut through the air, causing slight ripples in the air, and slammed into a bird that was drawing water.

"Plop!"

The bird's head shook, and it fell to the ground in an instant. The eyes on the head were bulging, and the blood was flowing from the bird's beak. It could be seen that it was dead.

At the same time, the surrounding beasts and birds scattered in all directions, fled the water bank in panic, and fled into the forest.

"Whoosh!"

The boy ran to the prey in a few steps, and looked at the bird with a big smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, it's a water jade bird. The meat of this kind of bird is fat and tender, wrapped in mud and ancient tree branches and leaves, and then buried in the ground and roasted, the taste... tsk tsk!"

Thinking of this, Li Yue's mouth was full of saliva, he swallowed, his throat wriggled, and he started to do it.

"Start!"

The young man happily carried the water jade bird, plucked the feathers to remove the dirt, then took out some bottles and cans from his bosom, poured some seasonings into the belly of the cleaned water jade bird, and looked for it again. A huge ancient tree branch was wrapped around it, and evenly coated with a layer of mud.

After finishing this, he carefully put away those bottles and jars on the ground. These are the guys he eats. The seasonings in them are all prepared by him himself. up.

Then, he dug a hole by the river, filled it with soil, picked up some dry firewood, took out the torch, lit it, and started to smolder.

In about half an hour, he extinguished the bonfire, dug out the steaming water jade bird, knocked the hardened mud outside, and tore off the branches and leaves.

Suddenly, a fragrant smell hit the nostrils.

"smell good!"

Li Yue smiled, and couldn't wait to tear off a fat and tender thigh, and took a bite.

Immediately, an extremely tender and delicious taste exploded on the taste buds, crazily passing over every cell and every factor on the taste buds.

The delicious gravy bloomed on the tip of the tongue, and became richer with the chewing of the teeth, and then sank into the throat and stomach.

"It's delicious, um, it's delicious!"

Li Yue wiped out a leg with three blows, five and two, and he ate like a feast.

Although the water jade bird is not as delicious as the snow chicken he has eaten, it is still one of the top delicacies.

The snow chicken is a wild bird that often appears in cold winters, and it is relatively rare. It is already early summer, the climate is warm, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. There are few snow chickens in this season.

It is a blessing to catch one once in a while.

After eating breakfast beautifully, Li Yue looked at the huge fireball in the sky and murmured slightly, "It's getting late, it's time to go back!"

Immediately, he started walking back.

Walking through a small path and passing through a patch of weeds, soon, a village built on the hillside appeared in front of the boy.

This is where Li Yue lives, Liuxian Village.

Behind the village is a small and barren mountain. There are no ferocious animals in the mountain, but there are many trees. A branch of the Qingshui River flows out of the mountain, passes through the village, and brings the source of life to the people in the village.

The entire village is surrounded by a thick stone wall. The stone wall is made of big blue stones. I don't know how long it has been. The blue stones are covered with moss, and some traces of animal claws can be seen faintly.

This stone wall was built to keep away monsters and beasts. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been quite a long time. The mottled marks on the stone wall and the blackened moss can tell that the village is very old.

On the stone wall, there are rows of hard wooden thorns. These wooden thorns are all taken from the hardest thorns on the mountain behind the village. They can paralyze the prey, and the defense is really good.

And these wood thorns are changed every year, year after year, and it has become a tradition in the village. Whenever the thorn trees are lush, the children in the whole village will go to the back mountain to chop wood, and even the children will compete. Let's see who cuts the most thorn trees.

When Li Yue thought of this, he also felt amused. Back then, he also competed with his friends. At that time, he was still a kid, seven or eight years old, and he was also the king of children.

Now seeing those little kids in the village, he also finds it quite interesting and often teases them.

Walking, walking, soon, Li Yue saw the red gate in the middle of the stone wall outside the village.

It was an eight-foot-high gate, the whole body was dark red, and it was made of hard old pagoda wood for thousands of years, and it was coated with layers of animal oil. Yes, the whole gate looked like it was wrapped in amber. Among them, it is extremely hard.

"Yo, Xiao Li Yue is back, um, there is a residual fragrance all over his body, let's steal it again!"

Li Yue smiled embarrassedly, and looked at a wooden building built on both sides of the gate. Upstairs, there was a big man with animal skin jokingly looking at him.

"Hey, good morning Uncle Yunsheng, you are on duty today!"

The big man named Yun Sheng is strong and strong, like a tiger or a wolf, with strong breath, wearing animal skins, carrying a strong bow on his back, and hanging an arrow basket on his waist. Looking at Li Yue, he laughed and said, "Little slippery man, Don’t change the subject, you’re going to steal food again, if you don’t pay attention to your morning training every day, you will know how to eat, the wild beasts in the mountains will probably fly away in fright when they see you now!”

"Where is it?" Li Yue blushed slightly, "I only eat it once in a while, so it's not as exaggerated as Uncle Yun Sheng said!"

"Grandpa is still waiting for me to go back, that's all, see you, Uncle Yunsheng!"

As Li Yue said, he hurriedly ran away from the road at the entrance of the village.

"This kid!"

The big man shook his head, smiled, and immediately continued to guard here.
