Chapter 1: A Strong Enemy Comes
The southern part of Qingyang Empire
Deep in the lush Liuli Mountains, ancient and unknown villages live beside the mountains. The vicissitudes of architecture siege a circle, and the architectural circle is filled with a vast sacrifice ground. This is the inherent architectural style of the Thunder Clan.
A sculpture that resembles an ancient sword stands upright in the center of the sacrifice venue. The red diamond stretches in all directions with the ancient sword as the center, and various sacrifices are placed below. More than a hundred people gathered in the sacrifice venue and sat neatly at the dining table. They are all unknown villagers. The villagers dress beautifully and will hold a major ceremony here today.
Five old men stood next to the altar, all of whom were over 60 years old. At this time, an old man with gray hair glanced at everyone, shook his sleeves and cleared his throat, "The bride and groom are coming soon, please calm down."
"Captain Murray, ready," a loud shout came from the opposite side.
When everyone heard this, they looked at a house full of red cloth next to the ritual ground. A middle-aged woman was at the door, with a smile on her face, waved to the old man.
"The ceremony begins soon, and everyone invites us two protagonists with warm applause."
The house was facing the ancient sword, and a passage had already been left. When the door slowly opened, a man in his weak year walked slowly towards him holding a woman wearing red as red as red clouds.
"Wow, Brother Mu Xiao is so handsome, he is more handsome than usual."
"Sister Lanzhi wears a headscarf and can't see it, but it must be very beautiful."
At this time, amid the warm applause, some people whispered to each other, and everyone's face was filled with an excited smile.
Mu Xiao is an orphan of the Thunder Clan. He grew up eating Baijia Meals since childhood. Of course, Wuming Village only has about twenty families. It seems that he has had some experience in eating Baijia Meals, but he is indeed a child raised by Wuming Villagers.
Now that he has grown up, the head of Murray has betrothed his granddaughter to him, so that he can start a family and start a business earlier, and take over his mission of protecting the ancient burial.
Mu Xiao walked over with Lan Zhi in his hand, and his strange and handsome face was full of smiles. Although this marriage was mostly handled, he thought that his lifelong mission was to protect the ancient burial of the back mountain in the deep mountains, and starting a family was an inevitable choice.
Perhaps he didn't know what love is. In the hearts of the traditional Thunder Clan people, getting married is to pass on the family line and continue the incense.
Mu Xiao and Lanzhi walked to the altar, and several melodious trumpets sounded in Wuming Village, and all the village names stared at the altar.
"The auspicious time has come, and the sacrifice has begun"
A big man with bare arms shouted at everyone on the edge of the altar. Everyone knelt down, and Mu Xiao was no exception.
In Wuming Village, no matter how big the matter is, you must worship the giant sword before it begins. This is the legacy of the ancestors of the Thunder Clan.
"God of Gu Yuan is here, please bless my Thunder Clan's peace and prosperity for generations. Today, the Thunder Clan's children, Mu Xiao, and Mu Lanzhi, are married. Please bless the Great of Gu Yuan to protect them and ensure that they have a happy marriage for a hundred years and give them a happy family."
Everyone was lying on the ground to worship devoutly, and the old voice of the Murray Chief Murray echoed the sacrificial ground. After saying that, the strong wine in his hand slowly fell along the altar.
"After the ceremony, get up!"
The bare-spoken man shouted again, and everyone stood up and sat back at the table. Chief Murray and five old men sat in a row, ready to accept the salute of the newcomers.
Mu Xiao looked at the villagers ahead nervously. He had a lot of fun with everyone on weekdays, but at this moment he was extremely nervous.
"Grandpa, why don't you see Brother Tian?" Mu Xiao turned around and asked Murray in a low voice. Brother Tian was Mu Xiao's childhood childhood, and he was his best brother in Wuming Village. But today is his wedding day, but he is not present. Do you want to give yourself any surprises?
Several elders whispered to each other. Mu Tiantian is Mu Xiao’s best brother, why aren’t they present at this time?
Seeing this, Murray coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry about him. Such an important day has not come. Eighty percent of them have run to Fenglin Town again."
As he said that, Murray was full of old tendons exposed hands, and waved his hand to signal that the bare-shoulder's wedding ceremony could begin. In the expectant eyes of everyone, the man walked to Mu Xiao and Lanzhi with a tea set in hand and poured tea for them.
Then he raised his voice: "Worship the world"
Mu Xiao and Lanzhi raised their teacup and knelt down in the direction of no one, pouring the tea to finish it.
The villagers cheered excitedly and said that they were short of worshiping the high hall now, namely, the head of Murray and several elders, and finally the couple worshiped each other, which was considered to have tied the two together in this life, and this was the result of the villagers' expectations.
But none of them expected that at this time, all the guards arranged to guard the village entrance were lying on the ground, and more than thirty masked men were coming to the ritual ground.
The bare-shoulder shouted again: "Two visits to the high hall"
Mu Xiao and Lanzhi served tea to several old men. At this moment, the sound of dense footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the ritual hall. Then a thick sound rolled towards the ritual hall.
"No need to worship, I can't run away today."
A man wearing a mask suddenly flashed through the crowd. Wherever he went, the nameless villagers screamed loudly, and his long sword was dripping with blood.
"Who dares to kill my tribe indiscriminately in my Thunder Clan?" Murray Chief Murray stood up suddenly, and several other elders stood up to protect Mu Xiao and Lanzhi at the same time.
A cold and ruthless voice came from behind the mask: "Who is Murray? I can spare you all the time."
"Don't think about it"
The Murray Clan Chief Murray was furious. Although the person in front of him was so powerful, it was the responsibility of the Thunder Clan to protect the ancient burial. How could he retreat at all?
The masked man suddenly stretched out his hands, and a white light flashed, hitting Murray, and he threw himself on the altar, his old face twitching, and he was in great pain. At this time, the sacrificial ground was already in chaos, and the Thunder Clan warriors fought with the masked man with swords.
Several elders besieged the masked man, but in front of the masked man, they had no rival power and were beaten all over the ground by the masked man.
Mu Xiao looked at the masked man with terrible power in his every move. The subordinates he brought were as powerful as that, and the Thunder Clan Warriors were no match for them at all.
"Escape, run away quickly"
Mu Xiao shouted at the chaotic villagers, jumping to kill with the masked man.
The red turban was floating in the sky above the sacrificial ground. Mu Lanzhi's turban was no longer there. At this time, he was protecting the heads of Murray. A long sword attacked her side. The bare-shoulder who was fighting rushed to her quickly when he saw this and pushed her suddenly. Mu Lanzhi was forced to take a few steps back.
Puff! With a dull sound, a long sword penetrated his body from behind the man.
"Uncle San!"
Mu Lanzhi looked at the scene in front of him and screamed in surprise. Mu Xiao turned around and his third uncle had slowly fallen down. He raised his long sword and slashed at the masked man. At this moment, all his anger poured on the sword, and the masked man was exasperated on the spot.
Not far away, the masked man blasted out his palm, and with white light, he smashed the four elders hard on the altar. The sound of broken bones sounded, and after a few moments, they were gone.
The masked man picked up the Murray Clan Chief and rushed to the forbidden area of the Thunder Clan in the back mountain.
