Rewrite the myth and become the Taoist!

Chapter 165: The Boy in the Corpse Pile, Meat and Wine (to be updated in the afternoon)
"I have finally traveled through time and space to become an adult again, but I can't seem to awaken my memories?"

Ning Xunqiu stared at the Tianyan Book.

The probability of rewriting one's life and becoming a "human" is extremely slim. No, it can even be said that the worlds with the existence of "human race" are extremely rare. This also makes the opportunity to gain luck through "passing on the law" extremely rare.

Even if this so-called "Emperor Heaven Realm" is just a low-level martial arts world similar to where "Black Emperor Ji Jun" is, it is enough for him to gain nearly a hundred fortunes.

He looked towards Tianyan Book of Life.

……

[Uncle Zhang didn’t agree with me going hunting with him at first.]

[“Hunting” is no child’s play, but a direct confrontation with “aliens” and “alien beasts”. In that vast grassland, food is scarce, and even the cattle and sheep are mostly looted from the weak alien tribes. ]

[The alien races were equally rampant, plundering everywhere, and the grasslands were full of dangers. Although Uncle Zhang and his men were elite soldiers who had fought in hundreds of battles, they were not "military generals" and their strength was ultimately limited. Every time they hunted, there were always people who unfortunately died in battle. . ]

[In such an environment, courage, superb riding skills, archery and spearmanship are the keys to survival and victory. ]

[And I, relying only on brute force, may be just a lamb to be slaughtered in their eyes. Uncle Zhang said frankly that as long as I can defeat any one of them with my own strength in actual combat, he will allow me to participate in this dangerous "hunt". . ]

【I laughed. 】

[I turned around and left, and studied basic riding, basic archery, and basic spearmanship for three days overnight. I always felt that it was not stable enough, and there was no guarantee that "Uncle Zhang" had any trump card. ]

[To be on the safe side, practice for three more days. ]

[As expected, my body seemed to be born for fighting. I internalized those basic skills into instinct and sublimated them into a more advanced martial art.]

[In archery, I have mastered the skill of "shooting an arrow through a willow tree from a hundred paces away". In horsemanship, I have achieved the state of "man and horse becoming one". Wherever the tip of the spear points, I am invincible.]

[To test the results, I first found a few ruffians in the county to try my hand. I held a blood-stained wooden stick and strode out of the alley. In just a moment, a group of people fell to the ground. With the stick in hand, even a dozen ordinary people could not get close to me.]

[The next day, I boasted that I would beat ten of them.]

[I held a lance in one hand, and faced the joint attack of ten uncles. I easily knocked their weapons away one by one.]

[Uncle Zhang fell to the ground helplessly, raised his head, and met the eyes of the thin boy in the dazzling white light. There was no joy of victory in his eyes, only calmness.]

[This kind of confidence, he knows that he can definitely win. ]

[This boy is truly a natural born warrior, with the potential to be a "divine general."]

[Uncle Zhang led ten riders and set off. Along the way, he kept imparting to me the wisdom of survival and told me about the many dangers deep in the grassland. One of them was the strange beasts, those huge and powerful strange beasts, some of which were terrifying beings that could rival the "God Generals".]

[Furthermore, there are the foreign races that occupy all directions. They are numerous, with countless tribes of all sizes. They often invade the border and plunder the people. They have long been resentful of our people. Once we meet, we can only repay blood with blood and tooth for tooth.]

[Uncle Zhang and the uncles who were traveling with him had an unprecedented fierce light flashing in their eyes.]

[I asked curiously what a "divine general" is? ]

Uncle Zhang looked longing, "The Divine General is the best among the military generals. He is personally appointed by the emperor, and his soul is awakened. He has the power to move mountains and seas, and to collapse the sky and split the earth. When the Divine General of the Heavenly Dynasty appears, all the foreign races are terrified and flee at the sight of him!!"

[The uncles around him also showed their pride and were honored. ]

[I don’t understand this kind of glory, and I can’t help but blurt out: “Since the Celestial Empire’s God General is so powerful, why are we still hungry?”]

[Uncle Zhang and the others looked at each other, hesitating for a long time, but could not come up with a reasonable explanation, and finally could only remain silent. ]

[They are not native to this place, and most people in the county are the same. This land has been at war with foreign races for hundreds of years, and soldiers have been replaced one after another like a revolving lantern. Dozens of soldiers have shed their blood here to guard the border. Most of them are soldiers and their families who migrated from the Celestial Empire, far away from their homeland, and took root here.]

Uncle Zhang and my father grew up in the Celestial Empire, listening to the legendary stories of the "divine generals" who expanded the territory. Their loyalty and respect for the "Son of Heaven" were deeply imprinted in their bones.

[A few years before I was born, the county was involved in a series of wars with foreign tribes, and even the only "military general" was killed in the battle, and the number of soldiers was reduced to only about 800.]

[Uncle Zhang said that the court was caught in civil strife and ignored this border area. In recent years, there was even no military pay or food.]

[I was puzzled: "Then why do we have to stay here? We can go to other places to farm. Mother said: Farming can feed us, and we don't need to die..."]

[“Our home is right here.” Uncle Zhang sighed in a low voice and then fell silent again.]

[I looked at the uncles in front of me, and the figures of my mother, brother, sister, and Uncle Zhang’s children emerged in my mind. This is the significance of the Celestial Empire’s migration of soldiers and their families.]

[If the city is captured, your entire family will die.]

[At that time——]

[Where is the emperor? Where are the gods?] [In my mind, there are only three simple thoughts: "no more hunger", "eat meat with big mouthfuls", and "eat meat with everyone".]

[I lowered my head and clenched the lance in my hand. I was born with this ability.]

[Seven days later, Uncle Zhang pointed to the tribe in front and said, "There are about 300 young and strong men in their tribe. Once they go out, they will leave 30 young and strong men to guard the house. When the time comes, we will act immediately."]

[The other uncles feel a little tricky. ]

[We only have a dozen people, no heavy armor, and no "military generals" to lead the charge. Each person must deal with at least three people.]

Uncle Zhang was helpless. This was already the weakest "alien tribe". The weaker tribes had long been reduced to slaves. There were at least a hundred young and strong people left in other tribes. But if the "hunting" failed this time, half of the family would starve to death or freeze to death this winter. 】

[This time, with me here, Uncle Zhang was full of confidence and planned to rob openly. Uncle Zhang kept reminding me to remember one word: "Kill!" ]

[After three days of hiding quietly, the young men of the tribe set out to plunder. My uncle and I covered our faces and rushed into the tribe at night. I stabbed the alien's throat with the horse lance in my hand and pulled it out, blood gushed out.]

[That was my first time killing people, and I killed a lot of people.]

【But there is nothing wrong with me. 】

【Everything went smoothly.】

【Uncle Zhang began to drive the cattle and sheep skillfully.】

[In addition to the cattle and sheep, I stared blankly at the dull-looking people. They were both men and women, but they were naked. Uncle Zhang said that we were also "cattle and sheep" in the eyes of the other races.]

[Are we the target of the aliens’ hunting? 】

[The uncles drove the herds of cattle and sheep back. This was the most dangerous time because we would encounter foreign tribes on the grassland. Uncle Zhang and I were responsible for being vigilant. We would kill and eat the occasional jackals we encountered, as jackal meat was not tasty.]

[The first three days were peaceful, and Uncle Zhang used his experience to avoid large numbers of aliens, but we were unlucky and ran into three aliens. I shot them one by one with my bow. Uncle Zhang recognized the corpses and his face changed drastically.]

[The appearance of foreign scouts means that there is a large tribe's army within a ten-mile radius.]

[Uncle Zhang immediately decided to abandon most of the cattle and sheep, and take three of them home. This way, the foreigners would definitely give up chasing them in order to steal the cattle and sheep. On the grassland, human life is not worth a sheep.]

【We left in a hurry.】

[The foreign soldiers looked at the fleeing cattle and sheep in all directions, and indeed did not chase them, but instead captured them. However, among the three scouts there was a centurion's younger brother, who looked at his brother's corpse with red eyes, and he wanted revenge.]

[The alien centurion led his men to chase us for thirty miles in one breath and finally caught up with us.]

[They are numerous and are elite cavalry, and their strength is even stronger than Uncle Zhang.]

Uncle Zhang's face turned pale. He knew that there was no way to escape this time. He asked us to abandon the cattle and sheep and run in one direction. Whoever survived would depend on their own fate.

[He told me: "Run, don't look back."]

[Everyone chose a direction to escape, but I remained standing, watching their backs gradually disappear, and then turned around silently.]

[“It’s just a kid, charge at him!” The centurion grinned, his eyes swept over my thin body, and he waved the scimitar in his hand wantonly.]

[Standing on the hillside, I held the lance in my hand, lowered my eyes, and calmly watched the noisy foreign tribes rushing towards me like a tide.]

【"kill!"】

[I suddenly spurred my horse and charged forward bravely. At that moment, it was as if some invisible shackles were broken in my body, and I felt my strength rising continuously. The lance in my hand broke during the fierce battle, and I casually changed to another weapon and continued.]

[My weapon is like a violent storm, swinging non-stop. Wherever I go, no one can withstand my blow. The aliens fall down one after another like wheat fields swept by a violent wind.]

【This is a bloody massacre. 】

[Fear spread quickly like wildfire, and then the aliens were completely defeated. Each arrow was accurate and ruthless, taking away a fresh life. In the end, only a few people from the aliens escaped. And those cold eyes became a nightmare that could never be erased from their hearts. ]

[I slowly put down my bow and arrow, looked around, and saw that large areas of green grass had been stained red by blood. My body strength was rapidly dissipating. Hunger came over me, and I sat down tiredly on the corpse of the first alien I had stabbed, and took out a piece of dry food and a pot of wine from his arms.]

[Uncle Zhang looked back and confirmed that the aliens were not chasing him. He was confused and heard the fierce screams of the aliens, so he decided to go back and find out what was going on.]

[He approached cautiously, and the scene before him terrified him—corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.]

[And in the center of the pile of corpses, there sat a thin young boy...]
