Chixian Shenzhou.

Dayan, the fifteenth year of Jianming.

Beimang Mountain.

This mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, surrounded by mountains and rivers, lined with trees, and green as clouds.

In countless tombs with a height of tens of feet, there are countless princes, generals, ministers and celebrities from the past dynasties buried in them.

There are also layers of mass graves accumulated due to thousands of years of war and epidemics, with bones piled up and phosphorus fire everywhere.

In addition, there are many ferocious birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, as well as mountain spirits and wild ghosts.

Since ancient times, the place has been known as the "Abyss of White Bones" at the foot of the mountain, the "Hometown of the Dead" in the mountain, and the "No Return Cliff" on the mountain.

Even those timid and talented people don't dare to go wandering around in the mountains, and ordinary people are afraid to avoid them.

However.

Located at the foot of Beimang Mountain, Daling Village in Guhuaa'ao is such a unique and unusual village.

In the evening, the sun sets deep and dark.

In the Wang ancestral hall located in the center of the village, a grand and strange "corpse sacrifice" ceremony used to worship ancestors has come to an end.

The strange melody is in the suona sound that penetrates the heart.

"The clan elders offer wine——!"

A fair-skinned young man of about fourteen or five years old, wearing a majestic Taoist official uniform, was sitting on a vermilion altar with a "Sitting White Tiger Statue" hanging on it.

With a somewhat dazed expression, he accepted the various kinds of fine wine presented by the Wang clan chief and clan elders with jade vessels.

First, he sprinkled part of the wine on the ground, using the aroma of the wine to attract ghosts and gods, then took a sip himself, and placed the rest on the altar at his feet.

The incense is lingering, the suonas are noisy, and the yellow curtains are fluttering. Although there are crowds of people, it makes people feel inexplicably like the underworld.

After nine times in a row, the entire ancestral hall was filled with the strong aroma of wine, and the young man's fair and handsome face also turned slightly red.

Under the altar.

The head of the Wang clan, who was wearing gorgeous sacrificial robes but had a tall and fierce body like a tiger and leopard, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the young man completed the sacrificial rituals meticulously even though his movements were a little slow.

‘Although this boy is naturally stupid, he is quite obedient.

In fact, more than ten years have passed, and even if he is the eldest son and grandson of the ancestral princes, he no longer poses any threat to me.

Originally, I just wanted to let you fend for yourself, but no matter what...it's just your own fault.'

With a cold light flashing in his eyes, he raised his head and winked at the clan elder who was presiding over the ceremony.

The latter understood, and the "corpse sacrifice" ceremony continued.

"The descendants pay homage to their ancestors and princes! Kowtow!"

Under the leadership of the patriarch, hundreds of men of the Wang family, old and young, all knelt down and bowed to the young man sitting on the altar.

Of course, it was not the young man himself that everyone was paying homage to, but the role he played at this time as the first ancestor of the Prince of Daling family, the "Prince and his subordinates."

This young man is the "corpse" in the "corpse sacrifice".

According to the ancient sacrificial customs of the Yan and Han Dynasties - a corpse must be sacrificed!

The "corpse" here is not a corpse, but an ancestor or god played by humans during sacrifices.

The actors who play the role of "corpse" are usually the direct descendants of the deceased.

Once it becomes a "corpse", it represents the ancestors or gods during sacrifices. Even when holding national sacrifices, the king of a country must salute and offer wine to the "corpse".

The allusion "vegetarian meal with corpse" comes from this ancient "corpse sacrifice" ceremony, which is also a model of eating without working.

As the "corpse sacrifice" ended, night gradually fell.

Hundreds of members of the Wang clan filed out, leaving only a young man carrying a food box at the end.

After serving a sumptuous meal to the noble "corpse", he didn't even dare to say a word. He retreated as if something terrible was chasing him behind him.

His steps were light and he disappeared outside the door of the ancestral hall in just a few steps. He was obviously very skilled.

The stupid young man dressed as an ancestor of the Wang family was left alone, sitting alone on the altar, like a clay-embedded wood sculpture in the flickering candlelight.

Until it was confirmed that the last footsteps had completely disappeared into the darkness outside the door.

Wang Yuan's originally dull expression suddenly fell down, his eyes became clear again, he rubbed his stiff cheeks desperately, and exhaled deeply:

"Fifteen years, do you know how I got here these years?

If labor and management continue to stay here, sooner or later they will be killed by these so-called blood relatives!"

Even though there was no one here, he still tried his best to lower his voice. Obviously, being cautious has become an instinct for this young man.

Since his birth, the time traveler Wang Yuan has been lucky enough not to experience the mystery of the womb.

But the child's body is too weak to match the reincarnated soul with its complex memories.

Therefore, during the nearly fifteen years since he was a child, his consciousness was sometimes awake and sometimes silent.

During most of the silent time, he looks like a foolish boy with an IQ of only three or four years old. This is also the inherent understanding of him by all members of the Wang clan, which is deeply ingrained and has no doubts.

However, as his body continued to grow, Wang Yuanzhu's conscious time became longer and longer.

Just in the "corpse sacrifice" just now, the incompatibility between his soul and body in this life has completely dissipated, and his stupid state is gone forever!

At this time, Wang Yuan was more clearly aware of his dangerous situation than ever before.

The source of the crisis was no one else, but the Daling Wang clan of Beiman Mountain who had been bowing down to him just now!

Speaking of the Daling Wang family, we have to mention Chixian Shenzhou, where the Dayan Dynasty was located in this world.

This is an undeniably mysterious world.

The Taoism is sacred, mountain spirits and wild ghosts roar proudly in the mountains and forests, and monsters and monsters emerge in endlessly. Even the immortality that everyone pursues is not a fantasy.

In addition to the extremely rich burial objects in the large tomb on Beimang Mountain, the bones left by those princes, generals, ministers, and famous people in ancient history are one of the best training materials.

Of course, it is impossible to lack manpower to take care of it.

The Wang family living in the Daling Village of Guhuai'ao at the foot of the mountain are the tombkeepers responsible for guarding the tombs of this royal family since the burial of the first Luoyang king of the Dayan Dynasty, "Yili King Zhou Yi".

This duty has been passed down from generation to generation by the Wang family, and it has lasted for nearly two hundred years to this day.

coincidentally.

Wang Yuan, who was born into this family, unexpectedly discovered that not only his name, appearance, birthday and even his birthmark in this life were exactly the same as those in his previous life, he was simply another self in a parallel world.

He was already alone in his previous life. It should be a great thing to be able to live a new life with this starting point and hope to get a glimpse of the Taoist magic that can lead to immortality.

But most of the Wang clan, headed by the clan leader Wang Yunhu, obviously don't think so.

His lineage started two hundred years ago and is the main direct lineage that has been continued by the prince's eldest son, eldest son, and grandson. He is also the head of the Wang clan in all generations, and this has been the case from generation to generation without exception.

It stands to reason that Wang Yuan's parents died young and he became an orphan. He was also born "stupid" and could not threaten the interests of others, let alone be eliminated by others.

But who allowed him, the sole heir of the long house, to have... a thousand acres of private land in his name?

Although the Wang family has not only received salaries from the Great Yan court in recent years, but also received tax-free family land to support them, their lives have been relatively prosperous.

But not counting each family's private land, the total family land, which is the foundation of the family, is only two thousand acres.

One can imagine how envious the thousand acres of fertile land that Grandpa Wang Yuan acquired in exchange for his military exploits was.

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

A bad tradition that has existed since ancient times - eating out households, naturally happened to Wang Yuan.

And the current patriarch Wang Yunhu is a good person.

Even though he had eaten a large portion, he still knew that the rain and dew should be shared equally. No one in the clan who could breathe was left behind, and everyone got a share of the pie.

No one in the whole clan cared that this was actually a family fortune earned by others with their own lives. On the contrary, everyone was praising Wang Yunhu for his benevolence and righteousness.

Individual people with conscience can at best ignore it and act in ignorance.

Seeing that Wang Yuan was about to turn fifteen in one month, he was registered as a military official and became an official tomb keeper receiving imperial salary.

Clan members need to report to the "Da Ling Si" who is in charge of the tomb affairs of each royal family, and even to the "Shrine Supervisor" who guards the imperial tombs in the capital.

When the time comes, the clan's joint efforts to seize Wang Yuan's family's land will no longer be concealed.

In fact, even if you don't report it at that time, the supervisor will definitely come to ask and evaluate you.

So...there was this "corpse sacrifice" with him as the protagonist.

Wang Yuan looked at the dim candlelight, empty and gloomy ancestral hall, and showed a somewhat ugly smile:

"The whole family is thinking about killing labor and management without anyone noticing, and then inheriting my family's thousand acres of fertile land with peace of mind.

If I hadn't been a 'fool', I probably wouldn't be alive now and would have been reincarnated in a daze.

No, it’s difficult to reincarnate safely in this mysterious world and start a new life.”

Taking advantage of being a "fool", others didn't even bother to avoid him when they were plotting and plotting. Naturally, he overheard a lot of inside information.

The crisis of life and death is tonight!
