Chapter 3 Reborn

Halfway up the back mountain, there is a dark cave, the cave is not big, just enough for one person to enter, the surface soil is fresh, the water is still there, obviously it has just been opened not long ago.

There is about ten feet in it, and there is an earthen pit at the corner, a stream of mountain spring gushes out, clear to the bottom, on the opposite side of the earthen pit is a ten-foot-long stone bed, on which a naked boy sits, he His face was rosy, his forehead was covered with sweat, his hands were resting on his knees, and his fingers were pinching quickly.

This person is exactly Wutian.

It has been ten days since he fell off the cliff. In these ten days, Wutian has been living in this cave and never returned to the village. It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but that Longhe searches in the mountains during the day and guards at the entrance of the village at night. Nothing can be done.

"What's going on, grandpa's fate can't be predicted?"

A mouthful of blood spewed out, Wutian opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and wanted to check whether his grandfather was safe or not, but at the critical moment, he was interrupted by an invisible force. Like myself, it is difficult to see through, unable to calculate.

"As long as I don't go back to the village, Longhe thinks I'm dead, so he shouldn't do anything to grandpa."

Taking out the token from his waist, Wutian looked carefully, but still found nothing, but why Longhe was so excited when he saw the token, and even killed himself to silence it. If it wasn't for Xiaotian's rescue at that time, he would have already fallen into the cliff and turned into a meatloaf. At this moment, there may be no bones left.

However, even though he didn't die, he was seriously injured by Long He's palm, and his internal organs were displaced. He was unconscious for almost five days before waking up, and after refining the essence gifted by Xiaotian, it took another five days to recover.

And all of this is because of this token.

"This token must have some secret, but I have lived in the village since I was a child, so I don't know." Wutian muttered, putting away the token.

In the past ten days, Wutian gained quite a lot. Part of the essence refined during the healing process was used to heal the wound, while the other part was lost automatically and disappeared. After searching, he finally found the reason.

A part of the essence that was originally lost actually gathered in the forehead. After two or three days of accumulation, there will be a slight swelling pain on the forehead from time to time. In the end, the swelling pain will become more severe, as if the skin is cracked , the pain is unbearable.

"Quack!"

At this time, Xiaotian jumped out of the cave, his body as big as a fist was actually supporting a grass donkey that was about one meter long. There was a hole in the neck of the grass donkey, the blood had dried up, obviously dead already.

This is the food specially prepared by Xiaotian for Wutian.

After entering the cave, Xiaotian threw down the grass donkey and climbed onto Wutian's shoulder, licking his cheek with his long, wet tongue, and his long and narrow eyes, with a hint of flattery, were extremely agile.

"Hehe, little guy, how's your harvest today?"

Wutian stood up, pulled out a pitch-black dagger, and while asking, cut off a fat leg, peeled off the fur, washed it in a mountain spring, and ate it raw.

Afraid of being discovered by Longhe, who was searching the mountains, he dared not start a fire, could not barbecue, and could only eat raw, so these days, he lived like this. Fortunately, there was a mountain spring inside, so he would not drink blood and be naked.

Although it was difficult to swallow, Wutian gorged himself, and after a while, only bones remained in one fat leg, and he was still standing aside, drank a mouthful of mountain spring, sat back on the stone bed again, and waited for Xiaotian to hand over today's harvest.

"Gah!" Without waiting for an order, Xiaotian opened his mouth wide, and shot out blood pills one after another, like blood-colored amber, crystal clear, radiant, and full of energy, filling the cave.

"Blood lion essence, mountain ape essence, three-color snake essence... Ah! These are man-eating scorpion essence... Tsk tsk, there are fifteen pieces in total. Xiaotian, today's harvest is not bad." Wutian was delighted, in his heart At the same time, I was shocked.

The masters of each of these essences are terrifying existences in the back mountain, vicious and brutal, as the overlord of one side, they were all swallowed alive by Xiaotian, which is simply unbelievable. In the past, when Wutian saw these monsters, he would run away in panic and stay away. How could he refine their essence and turn it into his own strength like now.

"Quack!"

Xiaotian screamed, stood upright, and danced with his front legs, as if showing off, very proud.

Wutian patted it on the head, and said with a smile: "I know you are powerful, go and eat the grass donkey, and then help me refine the cold air in the token. It is estimated that soon, I will be able to open up my body and become a cultivator. Yuan may be of great use to me."

In the past few days, Wutian found a strange sign, whenever he held the water elemental essence, there would be a stream of air rushing into his body, spreading all over the body, and there was no repulsion, which meant that he could absorb the elemental essence, this kind Although the absorption is slow and negligible, it is faintly visible.

Xiaotian shook his head, walked upright with his back on his forefoot, agile and funny.

After being together for ten days, the little guy looks dirty, but he is very cute. Of course, it depends on the person. If it is a woman, no matter how ethereal Xiaotian behaves, no one will be willing to touch it. But for Wutian, it is like a family member, with incomparable affection.

Wutian shook his head and laughed, picked up an essence, threw it into his mouth, it melted in his mouth, and melted into his whole body in an instant, moistening every inch of his skin like sweet rain, refreshing his spirit.

With the eyes closed, there is no balance, the mind is calm, and the essence is controlled to impact the sea of ​​​​qi, and breaking through the barriers, opening the door of the sea of ​​​​qi, can open the body, dig out the treasures of the human body, and become a swindler.

He had a premonition that the refining of fifteen essences would surely make a breakthrough and enter the stage of infancy.

The first step in cultivation, the embryonic period.

In the early stage of rebirth, the fetal gas is removed, the body is opened, and the essence is restrained. In the small stage of rebirth, condense essence, wash the body, refine impurities, and make the body reach a pure state, flawless and spotless.

At the stage of rebirth, the essence comes out of the body and is added to the body, which has the effect of improving the hardness of the body and improving the sensory effects of the five sense organs. In the perfect period of rebirth, essence extracts objects, congeals illusory objects, and fights with people.

The rebirth stage is mainly to wash the body, condense into essence, reach the second step of the pulse expansion stage, stimulate the potential of treasures, and develop the physical strength, which can be regarded as the real opening of the door of cultivation.

…

Dragon Village!

At this moment, an old man in his sixties was standing at the entrance of the village, with two braids on his head and a cane in his hand, looking at the back mountain, counting with his fingers.

This person is Wutian's grandfather, Longshan.

"Longshan, what's the point of this? Xiaotian has been missing for ten days and has no news at all. You just stay here without eating, drinking, or sleeping. You don't want people to wait until you come back. Instead, you drag yourself down." A villager kindly advised.

Long Shan remained expressionless and didn't speak, his counting movements with his fingers became faster and faster.

"Old guy, listen to our advice, you can't do this, you'd better go back and rest!" Another villager tried to persuade him.

"Wutian is true. He went to sleep on the top of the back mountain at night. Didn't he know that there were powerful monsters haunting there? Now, he was attacked by monsters and fell into the cliff. His life and death were unknown, and he even got involved in Longhe. It’s really unnerving.”

"No, in order to save him, Longhe lost a palm, and his strength was greatly reduced. What will happen to the food in the village in the future? If he dies, he will die. Why do he have to implicate the villagers? It's really a evil star."

"Hey! You shouldn't have softened your heart back then, and let him enter the village. Now it won't cause this field."

"Pfft!" At this moment, Long Shan's rickety body trembled, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his expression shrank, as if he might be dying at any time, but his wrinkled face was full of smiles.

After ten days of hard calculations, I finally caught a trace of my grandson's good or bad, and it was not a serious problem.

Long Shan withdrew his gaze, glanced at everyone, and said, "Although Tian'er can't cultivate, he has been very sensible since he was a child. He loves you and treats you as relatives. It's fine for you to make sarcastic remarks on weekdays. Now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown. Not only do you Don’t care, but treat each other with cold eyes and sarcasm, is this the character of your elders? Are you still human?”

"Old man Long, don't speak so harshly. If you hadn't insisted on bringing that trash into the village, such a thing would not have happened now. You can only blame him for not being self-aware." The person who spoke was Long He father, Longquan.

"Longquan, what you said is going too far. Longshan has no heirs. It is human nature to adopt a child. Even if you can't practice, you have lived together for so many years, and you are already part of the village. What's more, Xiaotian is a filial and sensible child. Compared with the other children, they are much stronger." The villagers who persuaded Longshan at first said with a dark face.

Longquan said angrily: "In order to save that little beast, my son lost one hand, and you still protect him. From now on, no one will go hunting, no one will make money, and no one will protect the village. Let me see how you live? He must be sensible. If you want to, you should die yourself, don't implicate my son, implicate everyone."

"Father."

At this time, Long He strode over from a distance: "Father, stop talking, Xiao Tian's death is my responsibility, if I have enough ability, I won't just watch him fall off the cliff."

"Hey! Little Tian's destiny should be like this, Longhe, don't blame yourself."

"That's right! Xiao Tian is ignorant and goes to sleep in the back mountain in the middle of the night. It's no fault of you."

"Have you found Xiaotian's body? After all, he is also a member of the village. We can't let him die in the wilderness!"

After all, they are people from a village, and most people feel a little bit unbearable.

Long He frowned, and said: "In the past ten days, I have searched every corner of the back mountain, but I haven't found Xiaotian's body. I'm afraid it's already..."

"Really?" Long Shan asked.

Longhe nodded, and said with concern: "Uncle Longshan, don't worry, don't worry, as long as I don't find Xiaotian for a day, I won't give up, but you can't continue like this, if Xiaotian comes back safely one day and sees you so haggard , I’m still not sad to death.”

Long Shan smiled faintly, and said to everyone: "I'll say it again, no matter whether Tian'er can cultivate or not, he is my grandson, and from now on, no one is allowed to mention his life experience in front of him, and no one is allowed to say anything about it. He's an orphan."

After finishing speaking, Long Shan walked towards a wooden house with a cane, and there was not much worry on his face.

"Old stubborn." Longquan cursed in a low voice, and then persuaded: "He'er, your injury is still not healed, go and have a good rest, don't go looking for someone who made you lose your hand day and night, it's not worth it !"

"Father, Xiaotian is a member of the village. Taking care of him is what I should do. It's worth talking about whether it's worth it. Don't talk about it in the future."

Long He looked at the villagers and said loudly: "Fathers and folks, although Long He has lost a hand and his ability has weakened, please rest assured that no matter what, I will protect the village and take care of you as usual, so that you have no worries about food and clothing. , because you are all my family."

"Hehe, with this sentence, we can rest assured." The villagers were full of smiles. With this promise, the big stone in their hearts finally fell.

…

In the cave.

Wutian sat on the stone bed, his body surface was shrouded in blood mist, and in the dark cave, he looked a little eerie.

With the refinement of the five essences, Wutian felt the swelling pain on his forehead become more and more intense, as if something was about to burst out of his skin.

When the tenth essence was refined, the swelling and pain disappeared, and the forehead seemed to be in a saturated state, and the absorption of essence stopped, or stronger energy was needed to open the skin and let the things inside break the skin out.

Wutian couldn't understand this situation, but he vaguely understood that this might be the reason why he couldn't open his body for sixteen years.

Now that the mysterious light cluster on the forehead is saturated, isn't it possible to activate the physique?

As soon as he thought of it, Wutian threw all the five essences into his mouth, and the majestic energy immediately dispersed, wandering around every inch of the body, and then gathered a little, like a sharp arrow, shooting towards the sea of ​​energy, Fast and fierce.

"Pfft!" The body trembled suddenly, the blood overflowed, and the severe pain was like a wave, sweeping through every nerve, but Wutian clenched his teeth and did not frown.

"Crack!!!"

Bursts of crisp sounds came out from Wutian's body, like the sky collapsing, the earth cracking, breaking through the barrier, opening the shackles, getting louder, the cave suddenly shook, trembling violently as if caused by the sound.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was no celestial body surface, and a strong suction force was generated. Within a hundred feet outside the cave, the essence of flowers, plants and trees drifted out, pouring into the cave and entering the body like a green ocean.

"This is the first stage of rebirth, this is the evil one, really powerful." Wutian opened his eyes suddenly, and two beams shot out, like thunder, illuminating the entire cave.
