The sunlight of dawn passes through the cracks of the mountains on the east side, shining on the earth as promised, dispersing the dark night that covers the world with dreams.

There is a Wu Palace in the Wu Kingdom of Jiuzhou and the Thirteen Kingdoms.

Due to the erosion of time, the appearance of the Wuwang Mansion is no longer as grand as it was back then. However, in terms of the spectacular appearance, even the City Lord Mansion just built three years ago cannot be compared.

The Wu Prince's Mansion was the mansion given to his younger brother by the ancestor of the Wu Kingdom.

The reason why he was forced was that half of the country of Wu was brought back by his younger brother. With this achievement, in order not to gossip for outsiders, the ancestor of Wu State had no choice but to take Wu State as the country's name, and also granted a king of Wu, who was more than ten thousand people, and gave him a mansion comparable to the palace.

As time goes by, the ancestor emperor and the King Wu, who is nicknamed the second emperor, are no longer there. After several rise and fall, the Wu Palace, which has declined in nearly a hundred years, has turned around with the current owner of Wu Xuance, who has nine sons, and has a prosperous population, which has even caused concerns among the people in the Wu Kingdom temple today.

On the back mountain of King Wu’s Mansion, a ray of sunshine shines along the dilapidated windows on the desk in front of the windowsill.

The dim room reveals its true appearance under the sunlight.

The beds made of pine wood, tables and chairs, mosquito curtains made of burlap, and teapots placed on the table are common crane-mouthed pots on the streets today. Judging from the furniture, it is no different from the rooms of ordinary people.

If the room was not for being so wide that it could walk the horses and the glazed blue bricks on the ground showed the glory of the house, no one would have believed that this was in the Wu Palace.

On the desk in front of the windowsill, a boy in red was sleeping at the desk, and on his right half face was a red-clothed boy in red.

The young man's name is Wuling. He will be eighteen years old in a few days. He is the youngest generation in the Wu King's Mansion today, and one of the seventeen grandsons of Wu King Wu Xuance.

Since Wuling can be remembered, their family has lived in the back mountain of the Wuwang Mansion.

As for why he did not live in the mansion of the Wuwang Mansion cluster with the rest of the royal palace, the reason for this has to start with his father Wu Shufu.

When Wu Pose was young, he was the best candidate for King Wu's Mansion. Later, he left home and went on a long trip. When he came back, his sword heart broke and became a waste that he could not even take on a sword. He was accompanied by wine all day long.

Because of this, Wu Po Shu lost the identity of King Wu's heir.

In order not to talk to others, their family moved to the back mountain of the royal palace. Over the years, their family has been supported by Jiang Minyue, who is a wife and mother.

On the paper pressed by the boy's arm, three eye-catching words were written straight.

Hanging upside down.

Speaking of the Upside-down Mountain, among the 13 Kingdoms of Jiuzhou, anyone with some experience has heard of it.

It is the highest mountain among the 13 Kingdoms of Jiuzhou. It is said to be as high as 108,000 feet high, and even geese cannot fly over it. There is a saying that "it takes three days and three nights for people to fall from the top of the mountain to fall to the ground."

The sun shone on the eyelids, and the light made Wuling open his eyes.

Wuling yawned and looked out the window. The sun was already hanging high on the top of the maple tree that gradually turned yellow after autumn.

Wu Ling stood up and stretched his body. When he accidentally saw the three words "Updated Mountain" on the desk, he quickly put away the things he wrote on the desk last night and hid them in the book beside him.

"Fortunately, it was not discovered."

After confirming that it was not easy to be discovered, Wu Ling, who was guilty, breathed a sigh of relief.

If his mother knew that he was collecting things about the Overhang Mountain, she would be punished to sweep the cemetery.

After all, he is still a boy who is born to be afraid of his mother.

"Upended Mountain, Upside Down Mountain, how many secrets do you hide?"

Wuling looked at the maple tree outside the window and was lost.

Upside down Mountain is a mountain that has been shrouded in mystery since ancient times. Since records have been recorded, there have been hundreds of thousands of people who have climbed Upside down Mountain, but few of them have finally returned alive.

And those who come back alive have one characteristic.

Either they are crazy or the living dead falling from the mountain.

But even so, every winter, when the white fog covering the upside-down mountains dissipates, there are still a constant stream of people sent by various countries to climb the mountain.

Everything is just because of rumors that there are immortal immortals on the mountain.

Immortality!

This is something everyone dreams of.

In the past half month, Wuling has been reading books and collecting records about the upside down mountain.

With the collection, Wuling discovered that the upside down mountain was not that simple.

There are hundreds of thousands of climbers recorded in the case. Where did these people go after climbing the mountain? If they die, the corpses of these people alone can be piled up into a mountain. Even if the upside down mountain is really 100,000 feet high, the corpses are enough to be lined from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

The Wuwang Mansion has a history of more than 600 years, and the collections of books, both in quantity and records are very rich. Wuling has read the books in the Book Pavilion, but there are very few records about the Overhang Mountain, and it is not even as circulated by the people in the city.

The same is true for book shops of all sizes in Wucheng.

It seems that someone deliberately erased the things about the upside down mountain.

What is the scene on the upside-down mountain? Is it a corpse on the ground, or a different world? No one knows whether there are immortals.

Like every young man, Wuling always wanted to travel far away with poetry and wine, go out to see the world, and personally unveil the mystery that the world shrouded in his heart.

But in order to prevent Wuling from escaping from marriage, Wu Po Shu and Jiang Minyue never allowed him to leave Wucheng.

As for the upside-down mountain that has never returned, there is nothing to talk about.

Thinking of his parents, Wuling quickly retracted his thoughts.

He looked out the window and saw that there was no movement around the room except for the occasional sparrow sound.

"It's already this time, where's the mother?"

Wu Ling frowned slightly, feeling very strange.

If it were in the past, Jiang Minyue would have come to urge him to go to school to teach his brothers and cousins ​​to read and read.

Since two years ago, when Wuling was fifteen years old, the master of the academy told Wu Ling that Wu Xuance, the talent of Wuling was no less than him, so Wuling had another task every day, which was to teach his cousins ​​to read and read.

At first, Wuling was unwilling to do so, but later Wu Posuke learned about this and allowed Wuling to dream of something.

Wuling agreed.

Anyway, it is not difficult to teach a group of seven or eight-year-old children to read and read.

"Eleventh Brother! Eleventh Brother!"

While Wuling was confused, there was a cry outside the house, and then a hurried figure rang out, which was his ninth uncle's son Wu Zhen. In addition, Wu Zhen also has another identity, that is his student.

Whenever this little guy hears something new, he will always come to tell him the first time.

Looking at Wu Zhen's panting appearance, Wu Ling couldn't help but frowned, "Is something wrong with Zhao State?"

Among the thirteen Kingdoms of Jiuzhou, the three kingdoms, namely Wu, Zhao and Tianlang, the ancient kingdoms, were the most powerful. These days, the Wu Palace often heard about Zhao's affairs. It is said that a mutiny occurred in Zhao. If nothing unexpected happens, wars will accompany Zhao for a long time.

With the complex relationship between the Thirteen Kingdoms, the war may spread and sweep other countries.

Wu Ling poured Wu Zhen a cup of tea and said, "Xiao Zhen, has something happened?"

Wu Zhen gasped, raised the teacup over his head, drank it in big gulps, obviously using his strength to run over.

Wuling rubbed his head and smiled and said, "Drink slowly, don't hurry."

After Wu Zhen drank tea, he brushed his sleeves directly to wipe the tea beside his mouth. This scene made Wu Ling shook his head helplessly.

It seems that his usual etiquette lessons are in vain to teach these guys.

After Wu Zhen's aura calmed down slightly, he spoke, "The third brother is back!"

"Third brother?"

Wuling's heart trembled!

Fearing that Wu Ling didn't know, Wu Zhen quickly added: "It's the third brother who went to climb the Overhang Mountain eight years ago."

Wu Ling held Wu Zhen's small shoulder with both hands and said excitedly: "Where is the third brother now?"

Wu Zhen said: "In the Hall of Conventions! But..."

Before Wu Zhen could finish his words, Wu Ling ran out of the house. Wu Zhen was stunned. This was the first time he saw Wu Ling, who had always been steady and orderly, lose his composure.

Wuling was full of joy, like a light boat crossing thousands of mountains, running towards the meeting hall of the King Wu's Mansion.

The third brother Wu Xiangyang is the one whom Wuling admires the most among the twenty brothers and sisters of his generation and the one who has the greatest influence on Wuling.

Wu Kingdom is martial, and he has a special liking for swords.

In fact, it is not just the Wu Kingdom, but also the entire Jiuzhou Thirteen Kingdoms. Whether it is the farmers in the fields or the kings, princes, generals and ministers in the temple, they are somewhat good at swordsmanship.

Every person from the 13th Kingdom of Jiuzhou will start practicing martial arts when he is a child.

When he was a child, Wuling saw that all his peers had learned swords, but his parents only asked him to read and read, and were not allowed to practice swords. He felt resentful about this and was depressed all day long.

Until one day, a young man came to him and told him that there is nothing to learn about swords, and he could read a few more glances. Reading and literacy is what people should learn most in this world. No matter how powerful a person is in swordsmanship, he can only solve his own problems. If he wants to solve the problems of the world, he must first read a good book.

The young man also said that reading is the most powerful swordsman in the world.

The light kills the evil people and the people in the world call them good; the dark kills the powerful and the nobles invisibly.

This young man is his third brother Wu Xiangyang.

A young man who is full of sunshine like a name, born towards the sun.

It was also because of Wu Xiangyang's words that Wu Ling began to study hard.

From that day on, every time Wu Xiangyang practiced swordsmanship, there was always a child reading with a book next to him.

However, this kind of life lasted only three years.
To be continued...
