There is a huze, surrounded by countless small clear springs, soft grass and flowers, birds and insects, full of harmony, a young man standing by the lake, he raised his hand and flicked his fingers, the lake surface was rippling, splashing a Dripping water, flying to the sky.
“Withering spirit, help it become enlightened.”
The thirteen rays of light followed the drop of water through the darkness and came to a new world. This world was collapsing. The thirteen rays of light were sucked and pulled apart, and the drop of water fell to the ground.
Its appearance accelerated the shattering of the remaining world, but it didn’t take long for the whole world to completely stop collapsing, and only one of the thirteen rays of light remained in this world, and the rest disappeared in the endless darkness of the universe.
On the edge of the desert in the Western Regions, there is a small village called Luoxian. No one remembers the origin of the name. Except for this small village, there is no one else within a hundred miles.
Behind an ordinary stone house in the village, there are two people, one big and one small, the youngest is a child who looks four or five years old, and the older is a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest.
“Man is born with two souls and seven souls, but three souls and seven souls are complete. To seek immortals and seek longevity is actually to find the third soul.”
“Boy, do you understand?”
“Hahahaha, of course you don’t understand. How many people do.”
The child blinked, only to find that the middle-aged man was gone.
Cold and summer, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the child is fifteen years old.
“It’s over, it’s over, what should I do with this, I really owe my mouth.” Xiao Chen lingered in front of the dark entrance, his expression uncertain.
On his left is the way back, brightly lit, and on his right is the entrance to the second floor, which is dark.
“Agree, don’t make fun of your life.” Xiao Er immediately suggested.
“I’m not cowardly, I’m just pretending to be out, I’m throwing out water.” Xiao San immediately objected.
“Heaven is to the left, cowardly.” Xiao Er didn’t give up and walked to Xiao Chen’s side with a solemn expression.
“Warriors go to the right, don’t be cowardly.” Xiaosan continued to sing opposite Xiaoer.
Xiaochen shook his head, “As of now, there is no other way but to use the last treasure.”
After speaking, Xiaochen took out a small delicate bag from his arms, with a solemn expression and careful movements. Looking at the bag in his hand, a hesitant expression appeared on his face. After a long time, Xiaochen closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He opened it abruptly, stretched out his hand and took out a copper plate from the bag.
“Enter from the front, and leave from the back.” Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, holding the copper plate tightly in his hand.
Little Er slapped the door, “I will never change my life.”
When he saw this scene, Xiao Er had completely given up hope of going back. In the past ten years that he and Xiao Chen had known each other, all the problems that needed to be solved by throwing copper plates eventually turned into unsolvable problems.
Sighed secretly, seeing Xiao San’s expectant eyes, although he was not expecting him, he admitted that he lost again, he couldn’t go back, he had to bite the bullet and go on.
Xiaochen is the eldest brother of Xiaoer and Xiaosan, the three of them are good friends, Xiaosan likes Xiaochen, Xiaochen doesn’t like Xiaosan, Xiaoer likes Xiaosan, but he never expressed it or let others know, Xiao Er was willing to risk his life to follow because he knew that Xiao San would definitely come.
The copper plate was thrown up by Xiao Chen. Looking at the copper plate in the air, Xiao Er couldn’t help thinking of yesterday.
In an open space in Luoxian Village, a group of children surrounded and shouted. I don’t know why, but I heard a boy’s voice spread far away.
“When the time comes, I will take the second and third children.”
When I heard this, Xiao Er’s face changed dramatically, “Brother, this is too hard to pretend.”
“It’s alright, big brother just take care of it, little sister supports you.” Xiaosan’s reaction was completely different from Xiaoer’s, “Wait, Xiaoer, he said ‘bring Xiaoer and Xiaosan’ together? Wow haha, Big brother is finally willing to take me to play.”
Little 2 looked at the little 3 with hearts full of hearts beside him and Xiao Chen who was ecstatic in the crowd. He felt that the whole world was a little darker. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter.
“Okay, this is what you said. Whoever doesn’t go will be his grandson.”
The crowd dispersed and left, leaving only Xiao Chen, Xiao Er and Xiao San.
“I ****** didn’t say I’m going!” Xiao Er was roaring in his heart, but didn’t say a word.
“Tomorrow is the day of sand mining, and it’s our first time mining sand. Let’s all go home and get ready. We’ll go directly to the second floor.” Xiao Chen walked to the side of the second and third children and said with a smile , patted the little San who was still in a sluggish state.
Little Er hesitated to speak, stared blankly at Xiaochen, and only spoke quietly until Xiaochen left, “I…I don’t want to go.”
The village is not big, and Xiao Chen quickly disappeared from the sight of the two of them. At this time, Xiaosan finally returned to normal, “Xiaoer get ready, my sister will take you on an adventure tomorrow, don’t get too excited, sleep well. “
After finishing speaking, Xiaosan also jumped home.
In the early morning of the next day, the entrance to the village was full of men, women and old people. In Luoxian Village, this kind of scene would only occur once a month at most, but compared with the past, there were a few more boys. storm.
The storm occurs at most once a month, and it also brings gold sand as scheduled. The ancestors of Luoxian Village have been like this for generations. It has never been wrong. This is also a desolate desert that cannot be planted or grazing. Luoxian Village can still exist forever. The reason, and the reason why they never thought of leaving here.
The village chief walked to the front of the crowd, “It’s getting late, we have to leave quickly, the sandstorm won’t recognize people if it’s too late.”
The villagers have already arrived. Of course, they have no opinion when the village chief speaks. They all started moving and embarked on a road that only the villagers know, going to a place that only the villagers know, doing something that anyone can do can do.
After about half an hour, the villagers came to the front of a huge mound. Although it was not covered with yellow sand, it was bare and there was no trace of life at all. This huge mound was exactly what they did. destination of the line.
Accurately speaking, it is under the mound.
“I don’t need to say more about how to do it. Everyone, hurry up and go back as soon as possible.” The village chief shouted and led the people through a huge hole in the mound to the ground.
Seeing that the village chief had gone in first, the rest of the villagers followed behind him and went underground together, with a group of young men walking in the back.
This is the first time they have participated in the sand mining activities in the village, because the ancestors said that they should not enter this place under the age of fifteen.
No one knows the reason, and no one dares to go against it, because those who have tried it have stayed in it forever.
The villagers are not surprised by this kind of weather for a long time. It happens at the same time almost every month. When this kind of weather occurs, it also means that the huge mound called the golden sand grave by the villagers will overflow underground. gold sand.
This kind of gold sand is actually not real gold, and its value is not as good as real gold. It is a good additive for making jewelry. The villagers take the gold sand they pick to the town every month and sell them, and then exchange them for their living needs. I planted some wind-proof and sand-proof plants around the village, without planting and grazing, and I lived a good life.
The life of Luoxian Village has been like this for generations. The golden sand under this golden sand tomb has been collected for countless years, but it still exists every month and has never been cut off.
No one in the village knows how these golden sands came from, maybe it’s too long ago, even their ancestors have forgotten, or it’s so mysterious that even their ancestors don’t know why, just tell them as they tell their descendants now , to survive.
Although these red gold sands are endearing, they are not invaluable things. At best, the money earned by collecting gold sand every month is enough for the villagers of Luoxian Village to live a normal life without daily labor. It is because of this that no one cares about them for so many years, and they can live a stable life.
“Great harvest, everyone seems to have collected more gold sand this time than last month. It’s great, and I can eat a few more meals.” It was a man standing next to the village chief who spoke. Strong man.
“Yes, yes, at first we were worried that the golden sand tomb would be emptied one day. It seems that we were overly concerned.” The village chief was also happy to bloom. The gold sand is 60% more than last month.
The village chief touched his beard with a smile on his face. He walked at the forefront, “Don’t be too busy to be happy, go back and talk about it. I think this cloud is too dark, don’t let it go.”
Everyone understands the meaning of the village chief, and they all rush to the village with the golden sand they harvested. Because of the special geographical location, sand never accumulates near Luoxian Village. , and the house can withstand strong winds. No matter how big the storm is, Luoxian Village has not been destroyed. The villagers firmly believe that as long as they return to the village, no matter how unusual the storm is, they will not be in any danger.
“Wait, the village chief, the number of people is not enough.” Everyone was about to go back when a strong man said.
The village chief turned his head and glanced at the crowd when he heard the words, and soon realized that Xiao Chen, Xiao Er and Xiao San were missing.
“You go to them, and the others leave quickly.” The wind was blowing violently, and the sandstorm was coming. The village chief didn’t dare to let the villagers stay longer, but he couldn’t just ignore how many children and let the big man who spoke up stay.
Under the mound is a large space, which seems to be a mine. The huge torches on the walls illuminate the whole space like daylight. Those gold sands appear on the first floor. There is a corner of the first floor. There is a long passage through which you can see an entrance, which is the entrance to the second floor.
And just like Zu Xun’s children under the age of fifteen cannot enter here, it is also clearly warned that no one can enter the second floor, and the same people have tried and never came back.
At this moment, Xiaochen and the others are right in front of this entrance. The copper plate has been thrown up by Xiaochen, and when it falls, it is time for him to make a decision, perhaps also when he decides life and death, but no one knows how it will turn out. .
“ding”
The copper plate falls to the ground.
The speed of the copper plate spinning on the ground is getting slower and slower, and the result will be seen.
