Chapter 1: Rebirth from the Fire
"It's finally over. ”
Fengyun stretched his waist and was in a better mood.
Tomorrow and Sunday will be two days later, so you can have a good rest.
Soon, he became a little confused again.
What should I do?
I've been playing games for a long time, and I'm getting a little tired of it.
Chasing dramas, I don't seem to be particularly interested in anything lately.
Shopping, I'm not a woman, I don't have that hobby.
Just when he was thinking about how to pass the time, he suddenly heard two girls not far away discussing about travel.
Pregnant.
His eyes lit up immediately.
I've been staying at home, my body is almost rusty, so it's good to go out for a walk, at least I can breathe some fresh air.
Just go on a trip.
Fengyun made up his mind.
He started searching online for suitable destinations.
In view of the habit of Chinese people who like to get together, he gave up those popular attractions.
When you go out to see the scenery, not to see the people.
Considering the tight schedule, he finally set the choice within a radius of 100 kilometers.
After some screening, he finally had a goal.
Xiaolong Mountain, a place he had never heard of before.
He will choose it, in addition to the photos sent by netizens, it is indeed beautiful enough and is a good place for leisure and vacation.
There is a more important reason, a reason why no one else will believe him when he says it.
In addition to the photos posted by netizens about natural scenery, there are also two things similar to rock paintings.
The petroglyphs look clumsy, like the graffiti of young children, but they can still be understood.
One is about hunting, a group of primitives with shirtless bodies and animal skins tied around their waists attacking a monster.
The monster was full of fangs and a row of blade-like spikes on its back, and it was extremely vicious.
It's just that there seems to be something wrong with its size, and according to its proportions to those of primitive people, it should be much larger than the size of an elephant.
However, what really caught his attention and made him finally choose his destination in Xiaolong Mountain was another petroglyph.
At the center of the petroglyphs is a tall fire, in which you can faintly see something in the shape of a pillar.
Around the fire was a large crowd of people.
They revolve around it, singing and dancing with a strong air of fanaticism.
The content of the petroglyphs doesn't seem to be too special, but for some reason, he was deeply fascinated, as if he was obsessed.
What made him even more unexpected was that he looked at it and seemed to be hallucinating.
The flames on the fire seemed to be beating, and a strange chant sounded in the ears, vast and long, shocking the heart.
When Fengyun came to his senses, he was stunned to find that he had been staring at it for half an hour.
Although the situation was a little strange, it piqued his strong curiosity and decided to find out.
On Saturday, the storm came up early.
After washing, I picked up the backpack that I had packed last night and went straight to the station.
Three hours later, he appeared at the foot of Xiaolong Mountain.
The grass and trees are verdant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the water is clear and the sky is blue, it is simply a paradise.
Fengyun did not go directly up the mountain, but followed a path to a small village.
The scope of Xiaolongshan is not small, and the place is not familiar, so it is difficult to find the petroglyphs on the photos, so you need to ask the locals.
It went well.
He didn't have much trouble finding out about the origin of the petroglyphs.
A white-haired old man pointed to an overgrown mountain road and told him that if he kept walking, he could see it.
The old man also told him that the mountain road was carved out by the villagers in the past to get water, and the petroglyphs were near the water source.
Fengyun thanked the old man and walked along the mountain road.
The mountain road seemed to have been deserted for a long time, overgrown with vines and grass, and it was difficult to walk, and after walking a short distance, he was a little out of breath.
Luckily, the destination wasn't too far away, and it took less than an hour to get there.
Just as the old man told him, there was a large petroglyph on the rock wall less than twenty meters away from the waterhole.
It's all painted with red paint, bright red, like freshly painted, and it's hard to imagine that they were made by prehistoric humans.
Calming his breath, he walked briskly towards the rock wall.
When he got closer, he found that the petroglyphs were much richer than what he had seen in the photographs - picking, hunting, building houses, resting, feeding, and farming......
Fengyun's gaze didn't linger on them for long, he was looking for the petroglyph that had a special attraction for him.
He was soon found.
It's right in the middle of the whole petroglyph, and the other petroglyphs surround it, as if it's the most important thing.
Seeing it with your own eyes is very different from seeing it in photos.
As soon as his gaze fell on it, he felt a strong attraction.
His eyes were fixed on it, unable to take a single inch off it, as if it had magical power that sucked his eyes firmly.
Moments later, the situation became completely beyond his imagination.
He found that the flames on the fire actually began to beat, and he could even feel the heat of the fire.
A strange chant sounded in his ears, reckless and rough, filled with the wild atmosphere of ancient wilderness, as if he could travel through time and space.
Then, something that shocked him even more happened.
A strange chant began to come out of his own mouth, with a subtle rhythm, unusually fluent, as if it was not the first time he had done so.
Although he was absolutely sure that he had never touched them, not even dreamed of them.
He subconsciously wanted to keep his mouth shut, but the chant kept coming out of his mouth.
Calm down!
He forced himself to compose himself, and then did everything in his power to control his hands and pinch himself, hoping to regain control of his body.
It's late.
Just a little movement of the petrified fingers, the petroglyphs in front of him changed dramatically.
The fire in the middle of the crowd seemed to have been suddenly poured with a large barrel of hot oil, and the flames burst to the ground three or four stories high.
At the same time, the state of the flame began to change rapidly, and it turned into a flame serpent with several people hugging each other.
The eyes of the Flame Serpent shot out a cold and sharp light, piercing Fengyun's eyes, freezing his soul, and then opened its huge mouth and bit him violently, as fast as lightning.
......
"No ......"
Fengyun screamed and sat up suddenly, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.
Subconsciously touched his body with his hands, and no burns appeared.
It turned out to be just a nightmare!
Fengyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But before he could relax, he was suddenly stunned, and his eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible.
The table not far away turned out to be a large rock, and the stool was simply a wooden stake.
The walls are jagged with stones, mud between the cracks, and the roofs are thatched, and in many places they are shiny.
The so-called window is just two wooden sticks stuck in an irregular hollow......
The stone under him was covered with a half-lost animal skin, and the animal skin clothes he was wearing were also tattered, and the smell of untreated leather went straight to his nose, making him frown.
"It can't be a crossing, right?"
Fengyun couldn't help but smile wryly.
He got up and walked out of the house.
There was still a hint of fantasy in his heart, he didn't cross over, but just ended up in a remote village.
But as soon as he walked out of the doorway, the last shred of illusion in his heart was shattered.
As far as the eye can see, all you can see are low and dilapidated grass houses, some of which have even collapsed.
As for the clothing of people, the better ones are animal skin clothes, and the almost ones can only be covered with "clothes" made of leaves and bark, while some children are simply naked, in short, there is not a trace of modern civilization to be seen.
It should have been crossed.
Thinking of his strange encounter in front of the rock paintings, the wind and clouds were finally confirmed.
At the same time, a trace of bitterness welled up in his heart.
On weekdays, I have complained about unsafe food, environmental pollution, and poor air, but there is no need to get myself into a primitive society all at once.
"Cloud, are you awake?"
Just as Fengyun struggled to digest and cross this reality, a loud voice suddenly sounded above his head.
Fengyun looked up and found a giant standing behind him, he was only a little higher than his waist, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing that Fengyun didn't speak, the giant grinned toothily and comforted: "It's not a big deal to be scared and faint when you wake up, every time you have it." Don't be embarrassed. Besides, this time is different from the past, no wonder you. As long as you behave well in the future, everyone will change their opinion of you. ”
As he spoke, the giant reached out and patted Fengyun's shoulder with his big hand as a sign of encouragement.
Fengyun's legs went limp, and he almost sat on the ground.
The giant's palm didn't feel like it was made of flesh at all, it was hard as a stone, and when it touched his shoulder, it felt like he had been struck by a giant hammer.
The giant shook his head: "You're still too weak. Remember to eat more meat in the future. I'm leaving. ”
With that, he threw a stone axe, the size of a table, on his shoulder, and took a big stride away, as fast as a galloping horse, and the blink of an eye was gone.
It seems that the place I traveled to is still different from the primitive society recorded in the books.
Fengyun showed a thoughtful expression.
The giant left with a walk, but faster than an Olympic runner sprinting, and the stone axe was too big, a far cry from his impression of a primitive man.
After the giant left, Fengyun did not return to the house.
He began to look at himself, as he had a vague sense that something was wrong with his body.
In a few moments, his hunch was confirmed.
He did have a problem with his body, he got younger.
Looking at the immature face on the water, which was only about ten years old, Fengyun understood that his crossing this time should be a soul crossing.
Figuring out the situation of the new body, it seems to touch some mechanism in the depths of the mind, and some information begins to appear out of thin air, all of which are the memories of the original owner of the body.
The original owner of the body has only one word in his name - Yun, but he has a family name - Feng, so it can also be called Fengyun, which is the same as his name before he crossed over.
Yun's tribe has a name, called the Flame Snake, which can't help but remind Fengyun of the giant fire snake that changed from the flames and swallowed him in one bite.
The Flame Snake Tribe originally had tens of thousands of people, and it could be regarded as a large tribe in the Razor area, but it was a pity that a great change caused it to suffer heavy losses, and only less than a thousand people fled back to the ancestral land - Snake God Mountain in embarrassment.
These are also what Yun listened to the old man in the tribe, and as for whether it is true or not, Fengyun can't make a judgment.
