Surrounded by mountains, it stretches for countless miles, as far as the eye can see, as if there is no end.
Mountain peaks stand tall one after another. From a distance, they seem to be hanging upside down from the sky, making people look up.
This is a wild land in Dongzhou, known as the Great Wilderness of Dongzhou. It is sparsely populated and mostly visited by some ferocious and unusual beasts. It is said that these ancient beasts that have not yet become extinct still exist here, which is very scary.
Not far from the foot of the mountain is a small mountain village with a population of about a hundred people. A group of children in the village are playing happily. Rows of thatched houses are located here, adding a touch of vitality to this mysterious wilderness.
They were clad in animal skins and were extremely muscular, with thick black hair hanging down, adding a touch of wildness to them.
This is Yangcun. The village is not big and everyone lives in thatched houses. It is named after a thick poplar tree at the entrance of the village. This poplar tree can be more than ten meters in diameter. It stands very conspicuously at the head of the village. Unfortunately, this poplar tree
The trees have long since lost their vitality and no longer have lush branches. Even so, the dead branches of the poplar trees cover half of the sky.
Most of the people living here make a living by hunting, and their strong bodies compete with the ferocious beasts in the wilderness, giving them a wild and fierce temperament.
In the early morning, misty smoke rises from Yangcun, adding a bit of smoke and smoke to this cold land.
There is a bird's nest on the dead poplar tree at the head of the village. The baby bird is waiting for feeding inside. The newly grown feathers are colorful and very pleasing.
It didn't take long for the place to become lively. A group of children were playing together, and the sound of fighting and laughter filled the village.
There was an old man in the village, sitting on a stone pier in the early morning, looking at the peaceful scenery in the village with a smile. One of the children playing in the distance tripped over a dog because he ran too fast. When the old man saw this, hehe
I wanted to get up and help the child up, but when I saw the child fell down, he got up immediately, wiped his nose, didn't care at all, and continued to run out.
There is a large open space in the center of the village, which is the martial arts arena. Every day, the children in the village practice martial arts here under the guidance of adults, so that these children can develop their own skills.
They wore animal skins sewn for them by the adults as clothes, and carried huge bone sticks in their hands, which looked like they were taken out of unknown beasts. Their scattered hair moved in the wind, and their bodies were full of primitive energy.
Breathing, full of wildness.
Next to the martial arts arena, there is a large pot with bubbles bubbling in it. From time to time, someone beside it adds some herbs, like things into it. The hot steam gives off the aroma of medicine, and one smell makes you feel all over the body.
Shutai, the tired feeling will disappear

Without a trace.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people in the martial arts arena who were still struggling to practice the martial arts taught to them by the adults. They ranged from four or five to fifteen or sixteen years old, and none of them dared to slack off. It could be seen that they usually
The adults were quite strict in their discipline. Although they were sweating profusely, no one complained.
Sitting on a huge rock not far away was a boy of about eleven or twelve years old. The boy had thick black hair, a face as smooth as jade, and piercing eyes. He sat cross-legged there quietly, watching the practicing children fall into
I was deep in thought, not knowing what I was thinking about.
The old man stood up, walked to the martial arts field and said: "Children, come here, the medicine is ready!"
A dozen children in the martial arts arena stopped. When they heard what the old man said, an unknown look of fear appeared in their eyes. It could be seen that they seemed to be very resistant and afraid!
I was scared, but there was nothing I could do. They walked over one by one with a sad face, and the old man burst out laughing.
One of the lean children walked up to the old man, tugged on the old man's sleeves and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, can I be bad? Although this stuff smells good, the taste after drinking it is really bad."
I can’t stand it, every bone in my body is hurting!”
"You have just been in the first stage of your practice, the marrow-cutting stage. These great medicines are of great help to you on your path of practice. They can make your foundation stronger and clear the impurities in your body, so that in the future you can
"Growing up very fast", so if you can't bear this little hardship, then you can only be an ordinary person. The old man explained with a smile.
"Drink quickly. This is specially brewed by the elders for you. You will know the benefits in the future." A middle-aged man said, with a hint of sternness in his words.
When a group of children heard the words, they shrank their necks and dared not say anything anymore. They could only say with a dry smile: "Uncle Dahu, I drink, I drink"! These children were afraid of the man in front of them from the bottom of their hearts.
Because the man in front of them is usually responsible for teaching them martial arts and supervising their practice. He can be said to be very strict, which makes them feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.
"That's pretty much it"! Dahu said with a satisfied smile. In fact, the children knew it very well. He was only strict with them when practicing martial arts. He also loved them very much and would not scold them.
A dozen children stood in a row, picked up the medicinal soup in the bowl, raised their heads and drank it in one gulp. In an instant, their faces flushed, and each child frowned and gritted their teeth, as if they were suffering.
With great pain.
Then they immediately sat there cross-legged, closed their eyes, big beads of sweat fell from their foreheads, and every bone in their bodies made a sound, but
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
You can imagine how painful they are now.
After a long time, they opened their eyes slightly and exhaled slowly. Their bodies were already damp, and the sweat mixed with some dark substances were eliminated from the body. At this time, they felt as if they had walked away from hell again.
, that feeling left them with lingering fear!
"Very good, these medicines can help you quickly eliminate impurities from your body, making your tendons and bone marrow purer, giving you a stronger body, and your strength can be greatly improved!" The clan elder said to them with a smile.
.
"This practice is too difficult. You have to endure so much pain at the beginning. It's hard to imagine how those powerful people can continue on this path." A child muttered.
"Actually, that's not the case. The first step on the path of spiritual practice may be a little more painful, because everyone who steps into spiritual practice hopes to have an extremely powerful body. The first step of casual practice must be to let go
When his physical body becomes stronger, the stronger physical body can carry all things and has endless potential, so the first step is called the "marrow cutting" period. Dahu explained to the children.
A group of children understood and all nodded.
At this time, the clan elder waved and said to the young man sitting cross-legged on the boulder: "Feifan, come here, your medicine is ready."
When the young man heard the sound, he stood up and walked over. The other children had expressions of gloating on their faces. One by one, they smiled and said, "It's time for Brother Bufan to suffer again. His medicine is several times more effective than ours."
, I really don’t know how he managed it.”
There is a small casserole next to the big pot, which is also steaming. The medicinal soup inside is prepared for him. The medicine inside is more powerful and the medicinal materials are more precious.
It’s not that the clan elders are partial, it’s because other children simply can’t bear the effects of such a powerful medicine. There was once a child who was curious and just took a sip and fell to the ground rolling over and wailing. His body couldn’t bear it at all. Fortunately, the clan
The old man helped him relieve his pain. From then on, no child dared to drink his medicine.
This young man's surname is Yang Bufan. He came here when he was four or five years old. No one knows how he came here. They only remember that the clan elder came out of the room early that morning and took him out.
After saying this, the child lived here. When anyone asked about Yang Bufan's life experience, the clan elders would remain silent and tell the truth.
Yang Bufan walked up to him with a calm expression. He picked up a large bowl and put the medicinal soup in it. When he could eat it a little, he drank it up in one gulp.
When he put the bowl down, it could be seen that his fingers were trembling, which was a sign of extreme pain, and he remained silent.
