Chapter 1
In a vast and boundless immortal cultivation country, there is a peaceful and beautiful small mountain village. Surrounded by green mountains and lush trees, a clear brook flows murmur past, just like a beautiful landscape painting.
The houses in the mountain village are scattered in an orderly manner. The thatched roofs on the houses sparkle with golden light under the sunlight. In the fields, the villagers are working hard, with simple and happy smiles on their faces. The children are playing and laughing on the paths in the village, and the clear laughter echoes in the air.
Lin Feng, a sixteen-year-old boy, lives in this small mountain village. He is tall and straight, with a handsome face and bright and shining eyes. Lin Feng lost his parents since childhood and was adopted by the Taoist priest of the mountain village temple. Under the careful care of the Taoist priest, Lin Feng grew up healthily. He is full of respect for the Taoist priest and regards the Taoist priest as his own father.
In the early morning, the sun shines on the small mountain village, covering the whole village with a layer of golden coat. Lin Feng gets up early and comes to the small courtyard behind the Taoist temple to start his daily cultivation. He sits cross-legged, closes his eyes, and feels the spiritual energy around him. In this immortal cultivation country, spiritual energy is the basis for immortal cultivators to cultivate. Only by absorbing spiritual energy can one continuously improve one's strength.
Although Lin Feng is young, he has a strong desire for immortal cultivation. He knows that in this world, only by having powerful strength can one protect oneself and the people around one. He often remembers what the Taoist priest said to him: "Lin Feng, the road to immortal cultivation is long and arduous, but as long as you have firm beliefs and unyielding will, you will definitely succeed."
Lin Feng takes a deep breath and begins to guide the surrounding spiritual energy into his body. He can feel the spiritual energy flowing in his limbs and bones, bringing a warm and comfortable feeling. As the spiritual energy continues to pour in, Lin Feng's body gradually becomes lighter, and he seems to merge with the surrounding nature.
After cultivating for a while, Lin Feng opened his eyes and stood up. He stretched his body and felt the abundant strength in his body. He knows that his cultivation road is still very long, but he is confident to walk step by step.
Walking out of the small courtyard, Lin Feng comes to the kitchen of the Taoist temple. He skillfully lights a fire and starts preparing breakfast. Thinking of the pickles and steamed buns that the Taoist priest likes, he carefully takes out some pickles from the jar and puts them on a plate. Then, he takes out several steaming steamed buns from the steamer and puts them on the table.
Soon, a simple and delicious breakfast is ready. Lin Feng carries the breakfast to the Taoist priest's room and knocks on the door gently.
"Come in." A gentle voice came from inside the room.
Lin Feng pushed open the door and saw the Taoist priest sitting at the table, reading an ancient book. He smiled and put the breakfast on the table and said, "Taoist priest, it's time to eat."
The Taoist priest put down the book, looked at Lin Feng, and his eyes were full of love. "Lin Feng, you are getting more and more sensible."
Lin Feng scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly. "This is what I should do. Taoist priest, eat quickly. It won't taste good when it gets cold."
The Taoist priest nodded and began to eat breakfast. Lin Feng sat aside and watched the Taoist priest quietly, his heart full of happiness. He knows that although he has no love from his biological parents, the love given by the Taoist priest makes him feel the warmth of home.
After eating breakfast, Lin Feng starts to be busy again. He cleans the yard of the Taoist temple and then goes to the well in the village to draw water. Along the way, he meets several good friends. Everyone greets each other with smiles on their faces.
"Lin Feng, good morning!" A young boy named Xiaohu said with a smile.
"Xiaohu, good morning! Where are you going?" Lin Feng asked.
"I'm going to the field to help my dad work. What about you?" Xiaohu replied.
"I'm going to draw water." Lin Feng said.
"Then come back quickly. We'll go to the mountain to play later." Xiaohu said.
"Okay!" Lin Feng agreed with a smile.
After drawing water, Lin Feng returns to the Taoist temple and pours the water into the tank. Then, he picks up an axe and prepares to go to the mountain to cut firewood. In this small mountain village, firewood is an essential thing in life, so Lin Feng often goes to the mountain to cut firewood to provide fuel for the Taoist temple and the villagers.
Lin Feng carries an axe on his back and walks along the mountain path to the mountain. Along the way, he enjoys the beautiful scenery around him, and his heart is full of joy. The air on the mountain is fresh and sweet. The birds are singing happily on the branches, as if cheering for Lin Feng.
When he came to the mountain, Lin Feng found a dense forest. He swung his axe and started cutting firewood. His movements are skillful and powerful. The axe seems to have life in his hands and constantly cuts down those thick trees. As the axe falls, one piece of wood after another is cut off and neatly piled up aside.
After cutting firewood for a while, Lin Feng felt a little tired. He put down the axe and sat on a rock to rest for a while. Looking at the mountains and forests around him, his heart was filled with emotion. He knows that behind this beautiful world, there are many unknown dangers and challenges. But he is not afraid because he has firm beliefs and unyielding will. He believes that he can overcome all difficulties.
Just as Lin Feng was resting, he suddenly heard a strange sound. He stood up and looked around vigilantly. The sound got closer and closer. Finally, Lin Feng heard it clearly. It was a low roar. He knew that this was the sound of a wild beast. In this mountain forest, wild beasts often appear, so Lin Feng must always be vigilant.
Lin Feng picked up the axe and prepared to deal with possible dangers. He slowly walked in the direction of the sound. His heart was full of tension and uneasiness. As he approached, the roar became louder and louder. He could feel a powerful aura coming.
Finally, Lin Feng saw a huge black bear. The black bear stood on a huge rock and roared at the sky. Its body is huge and strong, its fur is black and shiny, and its eyes flash with fierce light.
Lin Feng's heart tightened. He knew that he was in trouble. The black bear is a very fierce wild beast. Its strength is very powerful. Ordinary people are not its opponents at all. But Lin Feng did not back down. He held the axe tightly and prepared to fight the black bear.
The black bear saw Lin Feng and immediately rushed towards him. Its speed is very fast. In the blink of an eye, it came to Lin Feng's front. Lin Feng had no time to think. He raised his axe and chopped at the black bear. The black bear raised its paw and easily blocked Lin Feng's axe. Lin Feng only felt a huge force coming. His body involuntarily backed away.
Lin Feng stabilized his body and raised his axe again and chopped at the black bear. This time, he used all his strength. The axe, with the sound of the wind, chopped at the black bear. The black bear raised its paw again and wanted to block Lin Feng's axe. But this time, Lin Feng's axe chopped on the black bear's paw and made a clear sound.
The black bear was in pain and let out an angry roar. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Lin Feng. Lin Feng quickly dodged to the side and avoided the black bear's attack. Then, he raised his axe again and chopped at the black bear. This time, his axe chopped on the black bear's back and left a deep wound.
The black bear roared angrily and turned around and pounced on Lin Feng again. Lin Feng knew that he could not fight the black bear head-on anymore. He had to find a way to outsmart it. He looked at the mountains and forests around him and suddenly had an idea.
Lin Feng turned and ran towards the depths of the mountain forest. The black bear chased after him closely. While running, Lin Feng was looking for an opportunity. Finally, he saw a trap. This trap is used by the villagers to catch wild beasts. There are sharp wooden stakes inserted inside.
Lin Feng jumped into the trap without hesitation. The black bear saw Lin Feng jump into the trap and also jumped in. But it didn't expect that this trap was specially prepared for it. After the black bear fell into the trap, it was stabbed by the wooden stakes inside and let out a tragic roar.
Lin Feng looked at the black bear in the trap and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had finally defeated this fierce wild beast. He climbed out of the trap, picked up the axe, and walked towards the black bear. He knew that he couldn't let the black bear leave alive. Otherwise, it would continue to threaten the safety of the villagers.
Lin Feng raised the axe and chopped at the black bear's head. The black bear struggled a few times and then stopped moving. Lin Feng looked at the dead black bear and was full of a sense of accomplishment. He knew that he had once again overcome difficulties and protected the safety of the villagers.
Lin Feng dragged the black bear's body out of the trap and prepared to take it back to the village. He knew that the black bear's meat could be distributed to the villagers to eat. The bear skin could be made into clothes and quilts. It was very useful for the villagers.
Lin Feng carried the black bear's body on his back and walked along the mountain path back to the village. Along the way, he met several villagers. When everyone saw Lin Feng carrying the black bear's body, they all showed surprised expressions.
"Lin Feng, you are so amazing! You can actually kill such a big black bear." A villager said.
"This black bear often appears on the mountain and threatens our safety. You have eliminated a harm for us." Another villager said.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "This is what I should do. Let's carry the black bear back to the village together so that everyone can share this harvest."
The villagers nodded one after another and helped carry the black bear back to the village. After returning to the village, Lin Feng put the black bear's body on the square in the village. The villagers gathered around and praised Lin Feng's bravery and wit.
"Lin Feng, you are the hero of our village!" An old man said.
"Yes, Lin Feng, you are so amazing! We don't have to worry about the threat of black bears anymore." A child said.
Listening to everyone's praise, Lin Feng was full of joy. He knew that his efforts had been recognized by everyone, which made him very proud.
Just as everyone was cheering for Lin Feng's victory, a mysterious figure appeared on the mountain outside the village. This figure was completely covered in a black cloak. His face could not be seen. Only a pair of cold eyes were exposed. He looked at the small mountain village, and his eyes flashed with greedy light.
"There must be some treasure hidden in this small mountain village. I must find it and use it for myself." The mysterious person thought secretly.
The mysterious person quietly walked towards the small mountain village. His footsteps were light and silent, like a ghost. He came to a big tree outside the village and quietly observed the situation in the village. He saw the villagers cheering for Lin Feng's victory. A sneer couldn't help but appear on his face.
"These stupid villagers don't know the danger they are about to face at all." The mysterious person thought.
The mysterious person waited for the opportunity and prepared to launch a sudden attack on the small mountain village. He knew that he must be careful and not let the villagers discover his existence. Otherwise, his plan would fail.
At this time, Lin Feng did not know that danger was quietly approaching. He was immersed in everyone's praise. His heart was full of joy and pride. He didn't know that a huge disaster was about to befall this peaceful and beautiful small mountain village.
