Chapter 1 The Mountain Village Teenager's Boldness
"Qingtong... Qingtong! Ergou said he wanted to compete with our brothers in terms of courage. Whoever is the bravest will be the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang in Daqingshan Village!" A few short-breathing eleven or twelve-year-old boys broke the tranquility of the mountain village.
Breaking into a small bluestone courtyard that was the only one that still looked decent.
There was only a young man of about the same age as them, lying on a bamboo couch under the big tree in the courtyard. His eyes were obsessed with looking at the gaps between the leaves of the sycamore tree, which had become messy and faded in early spring.
The noisy arrival made the young man on the couch frown, but then he felt helpless.
"Our village has only about 300 households and a population of over 2,000 people. In this small area, the Wild Wolf Gang, the Green Bull Gang, the Gongshan Sect... I'm bored even if you don't feel tired," said the young man on the couch.
He has already sat up. In terms of appearance, he is a very delicate young man.
If you are born into a wealthy family, you must be a handsome young man with a great reputation. Now... "Pretty Brother" is already considered an honorific title.
"But Ergou, that shady kid, said that if he becomes the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, he will give money to the gang." When the person said this, he gritted his teeth. Wouldn't it be okay to take the money?
"Where did he get the money from his poor life? It's not because he wants Brother Qingtong to go into the mountains empty-handed!" This is another young man among the group of people, because this young man has been treated by Li Qingtong, so the relationship is
Closer.
"That Ergouzi is quite shameless. He also said that we brothers and sisters in a village in Daqingshan should share the wealth and adversities, the blessings and the hardships, and he was determined to take advantage of the eldest brother." The last one came.
He has distinctive characteristics. He is eleven or twelve years old and still wears a bright red bellyband.
It makes people laugh when they look at it.
"Aren't you brave enough? You can't go into the Phoenix Cave, right? There are coffins where the ancestors of our village are buried for generations. Some old coffins have rotted and cracked in the cave. Whenever someone in the village dies, the job of carrying the coffin into the cave is
Not many people are willing to do it, and they are still a bunch of middle-aged people." Li Qingtong's clear and unwavering eyes had a glimmer of light, but they were extremely secretive.
"As expected of Brother Qingtong, those two dogs are really planning to let me enter the Phoenix Cave together. There are inscriptions for sacrificial rituals inside. Whoever can rub the oldest inscription will be the boss." As expected of him, he is eleven or twelve years old.
A young man with straightforward ideas.
"If you do this, you won't be afraid of being spanked by the elders later on. I am alone in the family and have no relatives. I am really not afraid of doing this. But I remember that Ergouzi has five uncles and seven great-uncles, which is a big family.
As for the people, they are all fierce and powerful..." As if seeing a familiar scene, several teenagers laughed in unison.
"Brother Qingtong shouldn't agree to him."
"Yeah yeah!"
"..."
"Where is Li Qingtong? The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang in Daqingshan Village... is here!" Fortunately, a young boy with a bad image stopped his mouth in time, otherwise the name of the gang leader, whose nickname is Er Gouzi, and whose nickname is Chen Ergou, would be revealed... What's going on?
It doesn't sound good either.
"Are you brave? I agreed, but when the time comes our rubbing linen will need all participants to leave their own marks on it. If you want to participate in the competition with achievements that no one has done before, don't think about it." Rang was present.
Unexpected things happen to everyone.
Li Qingtong not only agreed to the seemingly unreasonable request, but also seemed confident in upholding the rules.
This made the young men who had tipped off the information suddenly become more confident. After all, Brother Qingtong was a strong man who dared to go into the mountains alone to dig out medicinal materials.
In their eyes, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a god!
Daqingshan Village has such a name entirely because it is backed by vast mountains, and even the mountain village itself has penetrated a small part of the edge of the endless vast mountains and forests.
Such deep mountains and old forests are not safe during the day, and there are countless terrifying predators at night.
In such an environment, let alone a young man, even a seasoned hunter and an experienced herbal farmer would not be able to guarantee the safety and harvest of every trip into the mountains.
But Li Qingtong was not like that. He started wandering around mountain villages when he was ten years old. He could always gain something even when he was not favored. He could barely make ends meet by selling it to a vampire-like caravan.
Two or three years have passed, and Li Qingtong has become a young and experienced medicinal farmer who dares to go deep into the mountains and forests alone, and has gained a lot every time.
"Okay!" The kid Wang, who was about the same age, was aroused. In fact, he was complaining in his heart.
He dared to put forward such a conditional competition because he had a strange rubbing in his hand. The rubbing was left by his ancestors. It has been a long time but has not left any trace of old age on it, as if it had just been rubbed from an inscription.
This rubbing is said to contain a magical secret, but it has been passed down for generations without seeing anything out of the ordinary.
The only thing I know is that this rubbing comes from the tombstone of Fenghuang Cave a long time ago!
Ergouzi also fought hard for one of the three major gangs among the teenagers in Daqingshan Village.
He stole this family heirloom that was locked in the cabinet from his grandfather and went all out to do it.
…
"Listen up, everyone, today is a happy day for our Wild Wolf Gang to invite Brother Li Qingtong to join the gang. No matter who wins, we will be a family in the future!" Ergouzi spoke loudly as if he had taken advantage of him and chatted with Qiba in front of him.
Personal greeting.
To be honest, if he implements the ideas he set, Li Qingtong will suffer losses whether he wins or not.
Ergouzi, the leader of the gang, was so generous because he had learned from Li Qingtong's habit of struggling for power. What's more, there were huge financial benefits waiting for him.
"You can't say that. If you win, I will join the Wild Wolf Gang and become a gang member. If you lose, just go and play in the mud with the two foreigners. Don't bother me again!" Although Li Qingtong himself is only twelve or thirteen years old.
, but there is a mature soul inside such a young man.
Li Qingtong is not only his current name, but also the name of a time-traveler from China who worked hard for twenty-eight years but was scarred in his previous life.
Soul penetration!
Still alone!
But this place gave Li Qingtong a different feeling. The belief system he had established after completing a baptism process in his previous life suddenly collapsed in this world.
Because this is a world where the civilization of immortal cultivators shines brightly, and the culprit who was blasted across two realms by a meteor has been dependent on him for almost thirteen years!
In these years, Li Qingtong was able to gradually become more nourished by relying on the power of the culprit who reincarnated him from birth to death, and from death to life.
Of course, the effect of that thing is not just the magical thing that Li Qingtong is showing now.
Li Qingtong, who has a mature soul, understands that no one is innocent but only possesses the jade. He uses the rare thing at the minimum to change everything around him bit by bit.
"Check the rubbings on the linen. I believe that if you leave for too long, you will be noticed by the other two factions. I am not afraid that they will take advantage of the situation, but you can go to your elders and file a complaint... Haha!" Li Qingtong's unquestionable words
Er Gouzi was reluctant to hear the sound, but he nodded happily after thinking of something.
This Li Qingtong has always kept a distance from the three young men from Daqingshan Village, and now the Wild Wolf Gang is going to decide on this person!
An extremely unexpected scene happened to Li Qingtong. Chen Ergou maintained a strong momentum in front of Li Qingtong.
When it came time to check the rubbings, Li Qingtong suddenly discovered that only he and Ergouzi were participating in the competition!
The young people around the relationship are just excited and curious spectators.
Watching a death-defying competition like entering the Phoenix Cave and competing for courage...just thinking about it made these teenagers so excited that they wanted to pee.
"You should make a mark first." Li Qingtong still seemed to be calm and in a surprisingly good mood.
"Okay! These two pieces of linen are fine linen that I spent a lot of effort to find. Remember not to throw them away. They can be used again after washing." Ergouzi wrote the words "Chen Ergou" with his thick hand.
Crooked font.
If the only old gentleman teaching literacy in the village saw this, he would definitely beat his chest and feel ashamed that he had such an enlightened disciple.
Li Qingtong wrote his name casually. There was no writing brush in the village, so he used an earthen writing brush made of fine bamboo stuffed with ox tail hair.
Not very easy to use, but the effect is okay.
It's just that after Li Qingtong finished writing his name and Ergouzi took the initiative to step forward, he had already twisted two pieces of fine linen one foot wide and three feet long.
After rummaging through my hands for a moment, I seemed to have chosen one, but the two dogs happened to come forward, so I stopped trying to put down the one I didn't like.
Ergouzi was a little dumbfounded, and he tried very hard to recall.
It's a pity that it is of no use.
The move was too slow just now, which directly caused Chen Ergou to not know what to do next.
One of the two pieces of fine linen has something fishy about it.
But now, after rummaging through Li Qingtong's hands for a while, his efforts to find exactly the same linen became a big trap!
It is now difficult to tell which rubbings of treasures were passed down from ancestors, and now it is not possible to directly use development methods to reveal those unknown graphics and characters.
Ergouzi is full of entanglements now.
"How about you choose first?" Li Qingtong seemed to be calm and calm at all times, which made Ergouzi even more crazy.
"Brother Qingtong should choose first." Unable to use secret methods handed down from his ancestors in public, Ergouzi could only rely on luck.
Whichever one you choose has a 50% chance, right?
Besides, as for the real linen with rubbings on it, only their family, handed down from their ancestors, knew how to simply use secret methods to reveal and hide the patterns and characters.
Even if Li Qingtong was lucky enough to get it, it would be useless.
The real dilemma for Ergouzi is...if he wants to win, he has to go deep into the smelly Phoenix Cave!
That's not a nice place.
It's normal to go into a hospital and be sick for three to five days when you come back.
go!
Er Gouzi is ruthless and shows his heroic nature at this moment.
After making up his mind, Ergouzi didn't give himself any time to continue to struggle. He casually took the piece of linen that Li Qingtong was leaving in his other hand and walked into the Phoenix Cave!
