This is the mortal continent, beautiful and vast, unique and magical, and full of hope.
There is a stretch of wasteland on the mortal continent that stretches as far as the eye can see. It is a natural place for grazing in the wild.
The wind of late autumn rustled the wild grass that was about to wither in the wilderness. The wind blew the grass and saw the cattle and sheep. It was like an autumn pastoral scene.
A young man, wearing a torn sheepskin coat, was lying on a hillside. Half asleep, he dreamed of two old men wearing black and white robes, handsome and elegant, as stable as Mount Tai, hanging in the starry sky. In the middle, there is a Tianhe River in the middle.
"After ten thousand years of promise, I have finally waited for you. Bai Gan, we must tell the difference today!" The old man in black robe spoke to the old man in white robe across the Milky Way, his voice extremely clear.
"Yes, Hei Kun, we should have concluded our ten-thousand-year agreement. You should take action first. We are brothers, and as a brother, I will let you do it for the last time!" the old man in white robe replied, "In the interstellar world I have lived for too long, and it’s time to experience the worlds again!”
The young man immediately understood that the man in white robes was Bai Gan and the man in black robes was Hei Kun. Moreover, the two were brothers and they were fighting to resolve the duel that had been promised for ten thousand years.
"A ten-thousand-year promise?" Wouldn't that be more powerful than the gods? The young man was puzzled and immediately became interested in watching. He really wanted to know the story of the duel between Bai Gan and Hei Kun.
"Baigan, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all. You always regard yourself as a senior brother. This is what I can't tolerate the most. Back then, if my master hadn't been partial and didn't let me get involved in the affairs of the universe and the stars, I would have dominated the universe long ago. Xinghe, will I still stand here today to fight with you?!"
"Yes, Hei Kun, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all." Bai Gan paused and said meaningfully, "No need to say anything more. Come on, I have actually been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
"Okay..." Before Hei Kun's words came out, he had already shot out his palms, forming a rainbow light curtain, flying across the Milky Way, and striking Baigan directly. This rainbow light curtain seemed slow, but it was actually surprisingly fast. It crossed the Tianhe River in an instant.
At this time, the young man discovered that two old men, Bai Gan and Hei Kun, were standing on both sides of a Milky Way with strong enough bodies. Although they were far apart, the distance was not an obstacle to their decisive battle.
When the rainbow light curtain formed by Hei Kun's palms was about to fly in front of Bai Gan, Bai Gan immediately formed seals with his hands, and a cloud-like light curtain of Tai Chi Universe quickly stood in front of him, directly blocking the oncoming rainbow strike. kill.
After a flash of light that could illuminate the entire space, a loud bang was heard, exploding in this unknown space. This loud noise was hundreds of times more powerful than the earth-shattering thunder. , resounded through the sky and the stars, and could not dissipate for a long time. The loud noise caused the young man to lose his eyesight and his ears to deafness for a long, long time. The young man could neither see nor hear, and he fainted.
When he woke up again, he found that his hair was gray - he was actually old. And the two old men, Bai Gan and Hei Kun, were already standing in the middle of the Tianhe River, and they began to fight hand to hand, and they were already on the verge of death.
The battle between the two of them lasted for a hundred years, and even the young people watching the battle became older.
The young man watching the battle was also at a loss as to what the real process of this battle was. However, he still wanted to see, in this unknown space, what the final battle between the two old men Bai Gan and Hei Kun, who had promised for ten thousand years, would be. What an ending.
"Baigan, we have been fighting here for hundreds of years. Although I can't kill you, you can't do anything to me! I can fight to the death and am satisfied..." Hei Kun said weakly.
"Hei Kun, the decisive battle between you and me that has lasted for a hundred years has made me understand that there is no male or female between us. We have exhausted the source of life and will fall and no longer be immortal." Bai Gan said helplessly, "From now on, There is no black and white in the stars..."
After saying that, the two old men Bai Gan and Hei Kun turned into a faint cloud of smoke, slowly drifting in the middle of the Milky Way, and flew towards the direction where they originally stood. The smoke turned into by the old man Hei Kun finally disappeared at the end of the starry sky. , and the smoke cloud transformed by the old man Bai Gan suddenly floated to the top of the young man's head and quietly sank into the young man's body, and there was also a ring-shaped stone on his chest. This stone was as clear as jade, like an elephant in charge of the universe. …
"Liu Yun!" A voice rang in the young man's ear, but the young man had no reaction.
"Liu Yun, wake up!" When another voice called the boy again, the boy slowly opened his sparse eyes and finally woke up from his daydream.
It turns out that the boy who was daydreaming was called Liu Yun. He was a shepherd boy, seventeen years old, five feet five tall, with somewhat disheveled hair and a thin face, but his eyes were very determined and sharp.
"What are you thinking about, kid? You should have had enough rest, right?" At this time, a strong man riding on the back of a horse five feet away from Liu Yun said.
"It's nothing, I just fell asleep unknowingly." Liu Yun said sheepishly, "Uncle Li, I'm ready to rest. I'll come over now." He hit the top with a carp, jumped up from the hillside, and headed straight towards Walking in the direction of the strong man.
The strong man's name is Uncle Li. He is the ranch steward of the Liu family, one of the four major families of "Liu Cheng and Li Zhou" in the mortal world. Liu Yun has been called this since he was a child. Liu Yun was picked up by Uncle Li from outside. Because Uncle Li liked Yun's freedom, Yun'er was erratic and felt at home all over the world, so he got the name "Liu Yun". Therefore, Liu Yun respected Uncle Li very much, just like his own father.
"Uncle Li, we have been out for several days and have almost finished our dry food. Do we have to go back?" Liu Yun asked. Uncle Li looked sad: "Yes, we will set off now. I hope we can make it before dark tomorrow." Go back, or we will be hungry again." Then, Uncle Li looked at the sky and muttered, "Don't let it rain!"
At this time, it was already evening. Liu Yun and Uncle Li were driving cattle and sheep on the way back to Liu's pasture. Suddenly, a bright light flashed on the horizon in the distance, followed by a loud noise, and more than a thousand cattle, The sheep were immediately frightened by the shocking sound and retreated one after another, not daring to go any further.
Uncle Li immediately controlled the frightened cattle and sheep, and told Liu Yundao: "I'll go over and take a look. You wait here and take care of the cattle and sheep." After saying that, he whipped and ran in the direction of the bright light.
Liu Yun waited and waited, but did not see Uncle Li coming back. He was very anxious, so he had to ride straight to the place where the light was shining to see what was going on.
When I came to the place after the flash of light, I saw that the flying dust had just dispersed, revealing a deep pit the size of half a football field. There was an unknown object with a bright fire, and it seemed that a creature with life characteristics was trapped in it. .
Liu Yun jumped off the horse neatly, put one end of the rope on the horse's back, then grabbed the rope tightly with both hands, and slowly followed the rope down to the bottom of the pit.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Liu Yun cautiously moved forward step by step, approaching the burning object. He took a closer look, and in the light of the fire, there was a vaguely groaning person, who seemed to be an old man. It was said that he was a human. , In fact, it is not the case. He looks like a fairy, with an elegant expression, a bit like the old man Bai Gan he saw in his daydream, but he looks very weak and is about to die. Before he has time to think about it, Liu Yun uses the sand to After putting out the fire, go and help the old man.
The old man opened his mouth, as if he had something to say. Liu Yun put his ear to the old man's mouth and listened, "Ah...ah..." After a few times, he could no longer hear any sound.
Liu Yun turned around and was about to ask questions when he found that the moaning old man was not breathing and was obviously dead.
Faced with such a tragic result, Liu Yun felt it was a pity. He thought he could save the trapped groaning old man, but he was busy for a long time in vain.
Liu Yun still understood the principle that "a dead person cannot be resurrected, and the dead must be buried in peace." He picked up the old man and prepared to find a suitable place to bury him, and then went to look for Uncle Li.
Inadvertently, Liu Yun discovered that in the old man's released right hand, there was a ring-shaped stone as bright as jade - it was the same stone that he had dreamed about in his daydream.
Liu Yun took the transparent ring-shaped stone from the old man's hand. As soon as the ring-shaped stone reached Liu Yun's hand, the old man's body immediately lit up with a blaze of fire. In just the blink of an eye, it disappeared into thin air and disappeared completely. No trace.
Putting away the ring-shaped stone, Liu Yun clasped his hands together, bowed in the direction where the old man disappeared, and prayed for his rest.
Liu Yun originally wanted to find a clue about the deceased from the scene, but found nothing of value, so he had to give up. Because he still wanted to find Uncle Li's whereabouts and follow Uncle Li back to the Liu family ranch as soon as possible.
Liu Yun climbed out of the pit and looked around for Uncle Li, but still couldn't find anyone. At this time, Liu Yun, who was full of disappointment, felt hungry, tired, and cold. He made plans to return and jumped on horseback. He took out a torch and lit it. Using the light to guide the way, he mounted his horse and ran back. Within half a stick of incense, he was back among the cattle and sheep, looking forward to Uncle Li's return.
Liu Yun found some dry firewood collected during the day, lit a fire, and took out some dry food to satisfy his hunger while taking care of the cattle and sheep. After eating two dry sesame cakes, the cold, hunger, and fatigue were all gone, and he felt relaxed. .
"Where did Uncle Li go? Did something happen if he didn't come back for so long?" Liu Yun thought, if Uncle Li could come back at this time, he would sit by the fire with him, eat some dry food, and talk. , how great it would be.
