It is strictly forbidden to fall in love

Yunjue is an orphan who lives in a small mountain village called "Baqianli". He is 12 years old this year.Regarding his life experience, there was a heavy rain in the mountains that year, and several villagers from Baqianli Village went up to cut firewood and were trapped in the mountains. Suddenly they heard the cry of a baby, and everyone looked for it. They found a baby in the village, and they brought the child back, and the elders in the village named him Yunjue.

In the eyes of other children in the village, Yun Jue is a freak. He always stays alone, with a cold face, doesn't like to talk, and never plays with them, as if he lives in another world, and he always has An inexplicable arrogance, everyone doesn't like him very much, only A Chi is an exception, A Chi is a six-year-old girl, congenitally deficient, weak and sickly.When A Chi was very young, she had a serious illness that almost killed her. Her parents tried their best to find a doctor outside the mountain.

Mica Mica is a legendary ganoderma-shaped aquatic plant that grows in Longtan. It is said that it has the effect of life and death, human flesh and bones. After the dragons in the world became extinct, Mica Mica has disappeared from the world for thousands of years.At this moment, Yun Jue suddenly said that he had seen Yun Muzhi. At that time, Yun Jue was only seven years old. The adults did not believe his words, and continued to sigh.A Chi's illness worsened day by day, and he couldn't even get up. One night, she was sleeping on the bed, and suddenly the window was pushed open by a hand. The three-year-old A Chi opened his eyes and saw that Yun Jue stretched out two arms towards her. hand.

Achi felt in a daze that Yun Jue was carrying him on a long mountain road, Yun Jue didn't speak a word all the way, and after some time, Yun Jue put her down, she couldn't open her sick eyes, From the corner of his eyes, he saw Yun Jue jumping into the red pool.

She remembered that adults often said that Hongtan was an extremely dangerous place, and children would drown in it if they went down to play in the water. She thought Yun Jue was going to die, so she crawled over to call him with all her strength, and what she saw still made her feel It was a dream, a strange and haunting dream.

From the pitch black to the depths of the faintly red pool, a colossal black shadow hovered down. In the child's wide-open eyes, the twilight glow shot through the earth, revealing the shadows of the gods.

When Ah Chi woke up again, she had already returned home, and her parents watched her nervously around the bed. To everyone's surprise, her illness has gradually recovered since then.She can still see Yun Jue in the village every day, watching him bask in the sun alone, watch the stars alone, eat alone, walk alone and go home alone, the lonely back of the boy gradually overlaps with the terrifying and huge black shadow in the dream At the same time, sometimes she suddenly feels scared, maybe Yun Jue is really not from the same world as them.

Maybe Yun Jue is not human at all.

A Chi has never told anyone about this secret, not even Yun Jue.

Baqianli is an isolated village. The towering mountain walls and the huge bottomless red pool make it difficult for outsiders to enter this place. Similarly, people who live here rarely go out, just like all teenagers of this age , the young man named Yun Jue longed for the unknown world beyond the mountains.Whenever night fell, he would lie on the top of the mountain alone and watch the stars, imagining the vast sky and earth. He dreamed that he would swim across the vast sea of ​​stars until he came to the place where the sun rose at the end of the sky, bathed in flames. The same morning light, and then he would suddenly wake up from his dream.

As if it was an inborn nature, he had an irresistible longing for freedom, and as he grew older, that longing became more and more intense, turning into a thin blue flame in the boy's chest.

The lingering loneliness fuels the flames.When he was very young, Yun Jue could feel that the children in the village didn't like him. He watched them flying kites on the hillside, but no one noticed him, and no one called him to play. Walking forward, the children stopped laughing when they saw him, and soon the children ran away, leaving him standing there alone with a blank expression on his face.He picked up the dropped white kite from the hillside, and that silhouette was almost the entire portrayal of his childhood.

And that little girl A Chi who is always sick.Yun Jue sometimes noticed that the child was lying on the window looking at her, but when he looked back, the little girl's eyes would suddenly show fear.He didn't know why A Chi was afraid of him, and he never asked her.He discovered mica zhi by accident. That day he carried A Chi to Hongtan, he swam underwater to find mica zhi. Perhaps because he searched for too long, he gradually lost consciousness underwater. When he came over, he was already lying on the shore, holding a large handful of green ganoderma-like aquatic plants in his hand.

He is a little arrogant in his small bones, if others don't like him, then he won't talk to them, even if he helped someone, he never said it out.

Because he is an orphan, Yun Jue has been living in the ancestral hall of Baqianli Village. On weekdays, he is responsible for guarding the lights in the ancestral hall. This is a boring job, and it seems to outsiders that he always has nothing to do.In the center of the ancestral hall is a pair of ancient coffins, for whom it is unknown, he would occasionally lie in it and sleep.The bewilderment and loneliness that follow everywhere, the boring life over and over again, and the blue flame, these things bother him all the time, and he can only temporarily forget these things and return to peace in the darkness where there is no sound at all.

On this day, he was lying in the coffin with his eyes closed as usual. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and opened his eyes suddenly. The scarlet candlelight danced on his face.

After a pause, Yun Jue took a deep breath and said, "Cheng Bo."

The old man named Cheng Bo raised his head while supporting the lamp, and said with a smile, "Are you scared? How many times have you been told, why are you sleeping here again?" He pointed at Yun Jue, "You're disobedient! .”

Yun Jue turned over and sat up, looked at him with his hands down, like a little zombie who hadn't woken up, and said, "Are you here to deliver lamp oil?"

"Yeah, didn't you see someone hiding and being lazy?" Cheng Bo joked, and walked to a row of tablets on one side of the ancestral hall. He was holding a porcelain pot in his hand, which was half filled with lamp oil. He raised his hand to turn on the lights in front of the tablet one by one.

Cheng Bo is Yun Jue's closest friend in the village. He is the elder who named Yun Jue back then, and he is also one of the people who brought Yun Jue back to Baqianli Village.At first glance, the child Yun Jue is not very likable, too arrogant, and not talkative, everyone prefers the kind of child who is sweet and smiles, but Cheng Bo likes Yun Jue very much in his heart , this child is typically cold-faced and warm-hearted. Only after getting to know him well can he know what is good about this child.

Yun Jue turned over quickly and got out of the coffin, and said to Cheng Bo who was pouring lamp oil, "Let me do it."

After Cheng Bo heard this, he gave him the lamp oil in his hand, "What have you been up to these days? You are always out of sight."

Yun Jue said, "No."

"I think you are lazy all day long, and you will be idle and useless when you grow up." Yun Jue continued to pour the lamp oil without saying a word, obviously he thought that seemed to be quite good, Cheng Bo saw that he was really very useless Looking promising, he couldn't help saying: "Why don't you have a heart at all, kid?" It's really strange, if you say that ten years old is the most fussy age?

Yun Jue didn't know how to tell Cheng Bo these things. The minds of teenagers at this age are difficult to understand. Sometimes they can't even tell what they are thinking in their hearts. It seems that all teenagers have to go through such a dazed stage. Purpose, erratic, like living in a dream, even if you let them talk, they can't say anything.But Yun Jue's situation is actually more complicated.

As the oil gradually poured into the lamp, the candlelight in the hall also brightened, and the two rows of tablets were shining brightly.Cheng Bo looked away from Yun Jue and landed on the tablet behind him, he got up and walked up, picked up a tablet, Yun Jue recognized at a glance that it was Cheng Bo's wife's spiritual tablet, 20 Years passed, and the name on the tablet unknowingly became blurred. Cheng Bo dug out an old box of pen and ink from a corner of the ancestral hall, and wrote the name again.

After finishing writing, Cheng Bo stared at the tablet, and his eyes became gentle. Seeing that Yun Jue was also looking at the tablet in his hand, he asked, "Do you know these two characters?"

"I don't know." Yun Jue had never read a book.Cheng Bo was the only person in Baqianli Village who could read and write, and he alone wrote all the tablets in the ancestral hall.

Cheng Bo taught him these two characters, and then said: "Instead of not knowing what to do all day, you might as well learn the two characters and read some books."

Yun Jue was a little surprised. In this remote village, everyone thought that reading and writing were useless, and no one ever asked him to read and write. He asked, "What's the use of reading and writing?"

Cheng Bo said: "Literacy is very useful. If you can read, you can understand Taoist scriptures. You may be able to practice and become a monk in the future."

"What is a Taoist book? What is a monk?"

Cheng Bo was obviously overwhelmed by this question.The people in Baqianli Village are ordinary people without spiritual roots. Many years ago, they escaped chaos and came to this isolated place. If there were not so many blood and tears, who would want to leave their hometown?Therefore, almost no one here is willing to mention the messy things outside.Although Yun Jue longed for the world beyond the mountains, he had never left Baqianli Village, and no one had ever described that to him before.

Cheng Bo said to Yun Jue: "Cultivators are people with cultivation. They can call the wind and rain, fly with a sword, and subdue demons. If a person wants to become a monk, he must first practice. Taoism is a book that records the methods of cultivation. .”

Seeing that Yunjue was interested, Cheng Bo told the child about it. Obviously he didn't think Yunjue could really become a monk outside the mountain, so he only mentioned the good side of monks and Taoism. In his description, those monks Just like the gods, they are omnipotent. Whenever there is a disaster in the world, they will stand up to save the common people from the water and fire. They wave their hands, and the raging flood stops. They wave their hands again, and the mountains and seas are flat. Swinging, as if real gods descended from the sky.

Yun Jue seemed a little astonished when he heard Cheng Bo describe the strange world beyond the mountain.

Cheng Bo smiled and said: "If you want to become a monk, you must first be able to read and write. The sons and young masters of the immortal family outside the mountain all read and read when they were young. They grew up with their heads resting on Taoist books. They can all split a mountain with one sword, just the mountain you always climb, they can split it with one sword casually."

"A monk is the most powerful in this world?"

Cheng Bo said: "Of course it is. Those spirit beasts and monsters were all surrendered by the monks."

Yun Jue didn't speak anymore, he seemed to be thinking about something, what Cheng Bo said was unimaginable to him before.

The child looked inexplicably cute when he was concentrating on something. Cheng Bo raised his hand and patted his head, saying: "Speaking of which, haven't you always wanted to go outside the mountain? I was going to go outside the mountain for the past two days. I bought some lamp oil in my town, instead of wandering around all day, why don’t you go buy it for me? I’ll save this trip too.”

Yun Jue looked up at him all of a sudden, his eyes lit up, "Okay."

Seeing that Yun Jue usually had a cold face with no expression on his face, it was rare to see him react so much, Cheng Bo couldn't help laughing, this kid really wanted to go out and have a look.The next day, he handed over a folded letter and a bag of money to Yun Jue. He was very relieved of Yun Jue. Although this child was young, he was more prudent in doing things than many adults. On the other hand, the boy outside the mountain The town is slightly larger than Baqianli Village, and compared to those towns with sects, it is still a small and remote place that cannot be more remote. The people living in the town are ordinary people, not even children. what danger.

He said to Yun Jue: "I put some more money in it. After you buy the lamp oil, you can buy two more books and come back to learn calligraphy." Looking at Yun Jue's expression yesterday, he knew that the child's mind was moved, he I think reading is very good, and cultivating Taoism is a fantasy, but at least I have mastered the craft after learning to write.

Under Cheng Bo's gaze, the 12-year-old Yun Jue nodded, turned and left for eight thousand miles.At the same time, Zhong Qing, who had made up his mind in Tianhengzong, who was thousands of miles away, also went down the mountain early.

The wheel of fortune officially began to turn at that moment, as if a hand had moved the painting in the dark.

Yun Jue didn't know that there was a person in the distant Taoist sect who was always thinking about him in his heart, and he left that small mountain village with a letter and money.When going down the mountain, he passed by a group of people, who didn't pay attention to him, a child in ragged clothes, and he was also busy on his way. After walking a certain distance, he stopped and looked back at the group of people in white clothes. stranger in a robe.He noticed that the clothes on those people were strange, as white and soft as clouds and mist. He had never seen such exquisite and luxurious clothes. It was not until the figures of the group of people disappeared at the end of the mountain path that he slowly turned around and continued on. Going forward, he didn't think much about it.

After Yun Jue left, the group of white-robed monks came to Baqianli Village.

Uncle Cheng was still wrong in saying something that day, the most powerful person in this world is not a monk.You must know that there were no monks, no monsters, and spirit beasts in this world. At that time, there was only one kind of creature in this world that could use the spiritual power of heaven and earth. In the middle, I opened my eyes and traveled eight thousand miles in a flash.

After their death, their bones were scattered all over the world and buried by mountains and rivers. Over time, herbs with spiritual power gradually grew in the mountains, and various spirit beasts and monsters began to appear in the rivers. The people nearby were also affected by those bones, and suddenly one day, some of these people found that they had the ability to call wind and rain.They dug up the fragmentary bones from the mountain, refined the elixir from the spiritual grass on the mountain, and practiced on the mountain overflowing with spiritual power. Later, they began to compete with each other for these spiritual treasures, and they did not hesitate to shed blood for it. They gathered together in groups, and gradually formed various factions. They called themselves monks, and struggled from generation to generation, finally casting the five major sects on countless corpses.

And the kind of creature that has been extinct for thousands of years, the monks call it a dragon.
