Wuguan Sanjue

Chapter 1 Colorful Essence
In the middle of the cold winter night, the north wind roared, wantonly destroying everything.The snowflakes raged around with the strong wind, and felt extremely painful when they fell on people's faces.

'Squeak, squeak. 'A few dead branches can't bear the heavy snow, and they seem to be crushed at any time in the cold wind.Occasionally, there was a barking sound of dogs, and soon all the barking sounds became one.

The simple windows that were blown by the strong wind were whistling, and the flames in the dark stove in the house were soaring high, exuding bursts of heat, which was incompatible with the weather outside.

"Damn it, in this damn weather, the family's prey is running out. If it continues like this, it will run out of food sooner or later." The bearded Orion in a thick leather coat cursed. As the pillar of the family, he had to support his family. However, this year's heavy snowfall is extremely frequent, and it is impossible to catch prey at all. This is undoubtedly a torment for Mu Kang who hunts for a living.Although Mu Kang was cursing, his kind eyes turned to Mu Hao who was falling asleep for a while. His only son seemed to be afraid of disturbing Mu Hao's sleep, and Mu Kang's curse gradually died down. Lan, on the other hand, was mending leather clothes under the dim oil lamp.

Hearing her husband's cursing, Duan Lan just frowned, and continued to shift her gaze to the tattered leather jacket, "Hao'er, what are you doing? Why do you tear your clothes every time you come back? It seems that tomorrow I will find a way to give Haoer I'm sewing a new dress." Duan Lan said a little angrily.

"Boom, boom..." There was a hasty knock on the door, and looking at the waning moon hanging in the hollow along the old window grilles, Mu Kang couldn't imagine who was knocking on the door at this time. Reluctantly getting up, the movement was very light, afraid of disturbing the sleeping Mu Hao.

"Brother Mu, it's not good. The blood wolf in the mountain attacked the people in the east of the village." The person who came was Li Hu, the hunter who was with Mu Kang. Speaking of Mu Kang in the village, no one would give a thumbs up, because Mu Kang He has the best hunting skills in the village, so everyone asks Mu Kang for help in the existing affairs, and Mu Kang does not refuse. Mu Kang has become the pillar of the village. Today the Li family is married, and the Wu family is married tomorrow. .

"What, take me to take a look." Mu Kang said to Duan Lan who was still asleep, grabbed the leather jacket on the bed and walked out.Duan Lan wanted to say something but her mouth still didn't come out, she just said "be careful", but Mu Kang's figure had disappeared in the bitter cold wind.

. . . . . .
Mu Kang didn't return all night, and Duan Lan didn't sleep well either. She didn't know what was going on in the east of the village. Although she was worried, Duan Lan still didn't dare to find her husband rashly. Everyone was a hunter, so they lived around the mountain. Lan, an unarmed woman, did not dare to go out alone. There have been several incidents of winter beasts attacking lonely people.

Duan Lan's absent-minded expression was noticed by Mu Hao. They all said that children from poor families are in charge of the family early. Although Mu Hao is only eight years old, his intelligence is far superior to that of children of the same age.

"Mother, what's the matter. Where's father?" Mu Hao asked Duan Lan.

Duan Lan looked at the snowy sky, "It's nothing, your father has gone to help." Duan Lan said to Mu Hao with a relaxed face, apparently not wanting Mu Hao to know her uneasiness.Feeling more and more uneasy in her heart, Duan Lan walked back and forth anxiously, leaving a series of footprints on the snowy ground.

Mu Hao knew that this was because his mother was worried about his father. It was the same scene when his father went to the deep mountains to hunt Duan Lan before, but today it was extraordinarily strong.Mu Hao also felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, thinking of his father's courage to lift hundreds of kilograms of prey with one hand, and his arrow skills with hundreds of shots.The unease in Mu Hao's heart disappeared without a trace.

After simply eating a few mouthfuls of the breakfast prepared by Duan Lan, Mu Hao ran towards the back mountain. Of course, he did not tell Duan Lan. If his mother found out, she would definitely stop Mu Hao. The wind was blowing red, Mu Hao was rubbing his little hands while running, Mu Hao was in the period of growing his body, the sleeves of the clothes his mother sewed seemed to be short, he took a few breaths of hot air on his hands, Mu Hao couldn't help speeding up his pace .

The back mountain is a paradise for wild animals, and of course it is also the home of hunters.For the hunters in Huanghui Village, the Back Mountain is the source of all vitality. Without the Back Mountain, there would be no Huanghui Village.

Turning left and turning right, Mu Hao ran for about an hour before reaching a dark cave, surrounded by thick snow. Mu Hao's cave was too small, and only Mu Hao could barely get in by himself.Mu Hao looked around, found no movement, and crawled in, "squeak..." Duan Lan stayed up all night to sew the leather jacket and was torn again. Mu Hao looked at it with distress, but soon there was a trace of firmness in his eyes. , Drilling into the hole again.

From the outside, you can’t see anything special about the entrance of this cave, but when you go in, you will find that there is something special about it. Although the wind is biting outside, there is no chill in the whole cave, and there are a few unnamed weeds growing on the rock wall, full of vitality.Patting the dust off his body, Wu Hao walked inside, the cave became wider and wider as he walked, the joy in Mu Hao's eyes was beyond words.

At the end of the cave is a huge stone chair, on which is placed a box made of unknown material, with strange pictures and texts drawn on it, the whole box looks small but extremely heavy, Mu Hao is unable to swing it at all.So Wu Hao had no choice but to hide it from his family and prepare to break open the box to see what happened.This is also the reason why Mu Hao came here. A few days ago, Mu Hao discovered this cave when he was catching a snow fox. Perhaps out of the child's curiosity, Wu Hao discovered this unique cave.

Looking for tools from his father's tool room, Mu Hao wanted to open the box to see what kind of treasure it was.The hard work of the past few days was not in vain. If Mu Hao tried harder today, the heavy stone lock on the box would be smashed. Mu Hao couldn't wait, so he swung a hammer that was out of proportion to himself and smashed it.

The men in Huanghui Village began to practice since they could walk. Mu Hao is very talented. Under Mu Kang's careful teaching, Mu Hao has already reached the third level of body training. There is no pressure at all when swinging the hammer. .

"Boom, boom." The sound spread throughout the cave, echoing for a long time. ． ． ． ． ．

A dull sound came, and the stone lock finally landed.Mu Hao looked at the box in front of him with excitement.After wiping off his hot sweat, Mu Hao forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood far away, and picked up a three-meter-long bamboo pole from the side towards the box.

Mu Hao's face was flushed red, and the veins on his white arms were bulging. He finally lifted the heavy box cover and found that there was no movement. The old people who were listening said that many precious treasures would be a threat.In consideration of safety, Mu Hao decided to do something else. After a few breaths, Mu Hao's short breathing sounded, and there was no movement in the cave.

Wu Hao walked up to the box anxiously, and the inside was full of light. An unknown liquid in the box gave off colorful light as if it was alive. Mu Hao couldn't even believe the scene in front of him. A child who grew up in the mountains had never encountered such a phenomenon.

Mu Hao rubbed his eyes, an inexplicable attraction made Wu Hao stretch his hand towards the colorful liquid, Mu Hao even felt that he had lost control of his limbs.

The moment Mu Hao's little hand came into contact with the colorful liquid, he felt as if bitten by a poisonous snake. A piercing pain spread to Mu Hao's heart. First, the colorful liquid in the box entered Mu Hao's body spontaneously. It was only for a moment. In time, Mu Hao had no time to withdraw his hand.

Wu Hao felt as if he was being roasted in an oven, and his whole body was red.Her lips were also dry due to the lack of moisture, and there were several bloody mouths.Mu Hao clenched his teeth and tried hard not to make a sound, but the pain still exceeded Mu Hao's tolerance, and Mu Hao passed out from the pain.

. . . . .

I don't know how long he slept, Mu Hao gradually woke up, Wu Hao sat up immediately, and found that the pain all over his body had disappeared. Thinking of the pain before he fell into a coma, Mu Hao was afraid for a while.The box above the stone chair was already empty, with nothing in it.Mu Hao looked around and couldn't find anything.

Looking at the darkening sky outside, Mu Hao quickly wiped off the dust on his body, walked outside, and walked out of the cave easily, Wu Hao hurried home.

Thinking that his mother must be worried about him now, the speed under Mu Hao's feet is constantly increasing, and even Mu Hao himself doesn't realize that his speed today is several times faster than before.

From afar, he saw his mother Duan Lan standing at the door, Li Hu was standing talking to Duan Lan, Mu Hao's heart sank, and an ominous thought came to his mind, but Mu Hao quickly suppressed it. Going down, the speed under your feet increased again.

"Uncle Li, what's the matter." Seeing Mu Hao greet him, Li Hu smiled wryly, said a few words to Duan Lan not to worry, and left in a hurry.

"Xiao Hao, why did you come here so late." Duan Lan's face was not very good-looking, but seeing the hanging stone in Mu Hao's heart, it seemed to have fallen.

"Mother, I'm going to the back mountain to practice." Mu Hao smiled sweetly at Duan Lan, his big eyes fluttered, as if he was worried that Duan Lan didn't believe him, but fortunately, Duan Lan didn't want to ask why Mu Hao went there all day. Mu Hao easily avoided his mother's questioning.

Duan Lan had already cooked the meal at home, Mu Hao looked out. "Mom, where's dad? Why don't you come here?" In the past, the whole family ate together, but today it was only Duan Lan and himself, and Mu Hao felt a little out of place.

"Your father has something to do. I'm afraid he won't be back tonight. You should have dinner. You have to go to the martial arts field tomorrow." Duan Lan said in a relaxed tone.

"Oh" it might be because he didn't eat for a day, Mu Hao still felt very hungry after finishing the meal that Duan Lan prepared for Mu Kang.Mu Hao looked at Mu Hao who was devouring, and the sadness on his face eased a bit.

Hearing that Mu Hao was still not full, Duan Lan cooked the only wild boar leg left in the house for Mu Hao. Mu Hao once again showed an amazing appetite, and he patted his belly with satisfaction only after eating a wild boar leg. ． ． ． ． ．
Duan Lan looked at Mu Hao who had fallen asleep, picked up the torn clothes, shook her head, and began to mend.
