This is a very ordinary courtyard in the only small village at the foot of Maoya Mountain.

The yard is very large and clean, and there are all kinds of flowers and plants around the courtyard wall, except for a towering old elm tree.

Flowers and plants dance lightly in the wind, making the whole courtyard filled with a good smell of faint fragrance.

Midsummer...... Evening breeze, dark fragrance...... Float!

This was supposed to be a pleasant scene, but for some reason, there was an indescribable coldness.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a large wooden barrel, and the water mist in the bucket is dense, but it does not disperse.

There was a young man in the bucket, with a furrowed brow and a hideous face, as if he was suffering greatly.

It's just a shower, as for so painful?

But after a few moments, a faint layer of hoarfrost hung on the boy's hair and eyebrows!

Wait a minute!

Hoarfrost?

Frost condensed by the cold?

Isn't this fog volatile heat, but ...... Algidity!

Yes, in the middle of summer, how hot does it take for the water to rise, but what kind of water will emit such a strong cold?

Can a few breaths make people's hair and eyebrows full of frost? This kind of coldness, even in the middle of summer, I'm afraid it's not something that ordinary people can bear, right?

No wonder there is an indescribable coldness in this courtyard, no wonder the young man's face is painful.

For the root of everything is the water in this bucket.

However, this young man's heart is really good, he clenched his teeth and didn't say a word.

However, what happened next shocked the eyeballs!

The dense cold air suddenly stagnated, and then poured straight into the young man's body.

The look of pain on the boy's face intensified

......

This kind of strange scene lasted for about two incense sticks, and the cold finally faded to the extreme, and the young man, as if relieved, breathed a long sigh of relief.

He quickly got up from the barrel, dried himself, put on his clothes, and packed everything up with ease, and then sat down on one of the steps of the courtyard, his face faintly tired.

However, at this moment, in the northwest corner of the courtyard, a deep voice suddenly sounded:

"How do you feel?"

There was even one more person there!

If he didn't say anything, it would be hard to spot.

It was a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, lying on a bamboo chair with his eyes closed, holding a worn-out book in his right hand, and his left hand tapping lightly on the armrest of the bamboo chair.

Beside him, there was a stone well, the stone well was covered with moss, and it looked old, and the mouth of the well also exuded a cold atmosphere...... It was as if the cold water in the bucket had come from this well......

The young man raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said softly: "Master, don't worry, it feels very good!"

The middle-aged man's fingers on the bamboo chair suddenly froze, and they didn't fall for a long time, and after a while, he sighed softly, and then slowly opened his eyes......

Those eyes were cloudy and slightly dim, and they didn't look like the eyes of their age.

He looked straight at the hazy night sky and said softly:

"Fifteen years......"

The young man's figure shook slightly, and an inexplicable complexity flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

The middle-aged man stared at the night sky for a while, and his gaze fell on him again, looking extremely complicated......

After a moment, he sighed softly, then stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards the gate of the courtyard, until his figure disappeared, and his voice came from outside the gate of the courtyard:

"Remember to take a bath every day!"

After the middle-aged man left for a while, the young man also let out a light sigh, and his eyes became a little gloomy......

He slowly raised his head and looked at the night sky, and after a while, like a middle-aged man, he sighed:

"Fifteen years"

......

The boy's name is Lin Xiu, and he is an orphan who was picked up and raised by his master fifteen years ago and in the war.

Although he still doesn't know his master's name, it still doesn't affect his gratitude to him.

He has a legendary innate physique, the scorching sun and the veins!

Unfortunately, this legend is not accompanied by glory and praise, but with fear and death......

The scorching sun melts the veins, and the meridians of the whole body are like the scorching sun, constantly blending, intricate, and chaotic...... Not to mention cultivation, you may even die at any time.

He was able to live to be fifteen years old, not because of the favor of God, but because of the meticulous care of his master.

It was his master who worked hard to find this cold well, and relied on absorbing the cold air in the well water every day to delay the process of merging his meridians.

However, this is only a delay, but it cannot be cured, and the meridians are still slowly merging.

When all the meridians of the body are completely fused, it is the day of his fate...... And this day should not be too far away.

Although his master would go out every once in a while to find all kinds of strange herbs to cure him, it was clear that none of them could cure his strange constitution.

He still needs to use extremely cold water to keep him alive every day.

It is conceivable that the pain of experiencing a cold invasion every day has been torn between life and death for fifteen years...... Such days, whether it is physical or psychological torture, can be called life worse than death.

Although it is human instinct to survive, how many people can really persevere if it is not for their own great perseverance?

At least at this point, his tenacity is admirable!

However, at this time, the gaze of this resolute young man in the night sky seemed a little aimless.

Tonight, he's alone again!

And for some time to come, it will be the same!

His master went to collect medicine for him again, and as usual, chose to go out at night.

He sat on the steps of the courtyard, looking at the starry sky with some blankness, and his thoughts drifted somewhere......

However, after a moment, his somewhat lazy figure shook suddenly, and then immediately sat up straight, and a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, as if ...... I was fascinated by some strange sight.

It was nine bright stars, each of which was incomparably bright.

What is really peculiar is that these nine stars are coincidentally connected into a straight line, and the light lingers with each other, reflecting each other, which is spectacular.

"Huh, shouldn't you, why haven't you seen such a bright star before?" Lin Xiu frowned slightly, and muttered in his mouth.

With such a bright star, it stands to reason that it is impossible not to attract his attention in normal times, let alone as many as nine.

"Could it be that these nine stars only appear at a special time?And tonight, is that special moment?" When Lin Xian was puzzled, he inadvertently swept the stone well beside him, was slightly stunned, and then suddenly got up, and took three steps back with a shocked face......

The stone well in front of him was extremely familiar to him, because he had been dealing with it every day since he could remember, without exception!

At first, he watched his master fetch water, and then since his master went out for the first time, he has been fetching water by himself.

Even the texture of the stone at the mouth of the well and the distribution of the moss around him, he already knew it by heart.

But at this moment, this familiar well felt extremely strange to him......

The dark green moss around the stone well actually exuded a crystal color like jade at this moment, and the wellhead also emitted a faint fluorescence.

It's as if a priceless pearl of the night has fallen into a well.

The fluorescent light gathered into a faint beam, which seemed to loom and shot into the night sky.

Lin Xiu looked at Shi Jing in a daze, then followed the guidance of the beam of light and looked towards the sky, and immediately saw the nine extremely strange stars...... He took a deep breath and looked thoughtful.

He hesitated for only a moment, then made a decision immediately.

A moment later, he had a thick rope around his waist, and the other end of the rope was tied to the old elm tree by the courtyard wall.

He took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and began to carefully move down the wall of the well.

Soon, his figure disappeared into the well.

The courtyard fell into silence again, with only the faint fragrance of flowers, floating quietly in the air.

A gentle breeze blew, the flowers and plants swayed slightly, and the leaves of the old elm tree rustled softly.

Suddenly, an old leaf floated down from the tree and fell towards the mouth of the well, but when it encountered the faint fluorescence, it suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if entering

Another world

......
