C1 Falling Rocks from Beyond

First chapter.

"Blackie, don't run!"

"Moo ~"

After the huge black yak jogged a few steps, it was finally pulled by the Shepherd Boy, who had just reached its rib cage. It obediently stopped in its tracks.

The little Shepherd Boy turned around and stood behind the yak with familiarity. He looked at the peaceful village in the distance and took out the bamboo flute he had just cut yesterday to play.

The black yak seemed to be unable to withstand the music. After two cries, it hurriedly buried its head in the grass.

The Shepherd Boy immediately noticed the reaction of the black yak and stopped his performance in dissatisfaction. He used the bamboo flute to lightly tap on the bull's head twice.

"Dahei, you actually dare to despise me!"

After reprimanding the black yak, the Shepherd Boy was just about to continue playing when the sudden loud noise behind him interrupted him.

The huge explosion instantly startled the black yak. Not only did it repeatedly cry out, it even began to run in all directions.

The Shepherd Boy spent a lot of effort to pacify the black yak. Only then did he have the time to look up and see where the explosion came from.

It turned out that something had flown down from the sky and exploded the hill behind him. Smoke rose.

A strong curiosity drove Ye Zhifa, so he comforted the frightened black yak and rode it towards the back of the mountain.

He didn't expect that the black yak would be unwilling to take another step when it was only a short distance away from the top of the hill.

Ye Zhifa could only turn around and jump off the back of the yak. He leaned on his short legs and continued forward.

When he walked to the top of the hill while panting, he finally saw what hit him. It was a blue crystal that was as tall as an adult. It was stuck in the middle of a big pit that was about two meters deep.

At this time, the smoke in the pit had gradually dispersed. Ye Zhifa found that the soil on the wall of the pit had become extremely smooth. From afar, it looked like a mirror.

Ye Zhifa had seen meteorites in his past life, but he had never heard of any meteorites that had such a smooth surface. Occasionally, there would be light dots flashing. Driven by curiosity, he wanted to get closer and take a look, but he did not expect his feet to slip. His whole body slid down from the edge of the big pit.

The wall of the pit was smooth and had no leverage. Although Ye Zhifa saw himself sliding towards the crystal, he had no other choice. He shouted in horror a few times before he crashed into it with a bang!

How could a head be as hard as a stone? Under this hit, a large amount of blood gushed out from the top of Ye Zhifa's head. His vision was blocked by the blood, and he only had one thought in his mind. Am I going to die?"

After that, his vision went dark and he was still alive.

The crystal turned into a ray of light and entered his body.

"Ye, Ye, wake up!"

Did I transmigrate again? Or was Yama King shouting his name?

This world was different from Earth, there were things like gods, ghosts, and ghosts everywhere. If there really was the Yama King of the Underworld, Ye Zhifa wouldn't be surprised.

He was worried that he would see the Rakshasa and Ghost Territories when he opened his eyes, so he shut his eyes tightly. However, the voice beside his ear sounded very familiar. Finally, he couldn't help but open his eyes, and found that the person in his field of vision had a benevolent look on his face. It wasn't the Yin Soldier that he had imagined.

"Uncle Wang, why is it you?"

"Why not me? When we heard the sound, we all ran over to take a look. In the end, we found you in the pit. However, you are really lucky. You actually didn't get hurt even after falling down like this. Your luck is really not bad."

Ye Zhifa propped up his upper body and realized that other than Uncle Wang, there were also a few villagers surrounding him. He quickly expressed his gratitude to everyone.

However, after hearing Uncle Wang's words, he quickly reached out and touched his forehead. He found that there was not a single trace of blood on his retracted palm other than some dirt.

He clearly had a head full of blood just now. Where did all the blood go?

Seeing that Ye Zhifa was fine, everyone was relieved and started discussing the explosion again.

"It's really strange. We clearly heard a sound and saw a pit, but why is there nothing in the pit? Zhifa, did you see anything in the pit?"

There was nothing in the pit?!

Ye Zhifa hurriedly turned his head and found that the pit was empty. The huge dark blue crystal had disappeared, leaving only a deeper pit in the center.

"Uncle Wang, in the pit..."

He was about to tell Uncle Wang about the blue crystal when he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear and alarm in his heart. It seemed that if he dared to say one more word, he would be in big trouble.

In this way, Ye Zhifa quickly changed his words, not daring to say what he had heard at that time.

... "There's nothing in the pit. I just wanted to see what's underneath, that's why I fell down."

The villagers did not doubt that Ye Zhifa was lying. They only discussed that they would find a temple to pay their respects in two days, then they all left the place.

Only Uncle Wang was sad about Ye Zhifa fainting, so he did not need to herd the cows today. He just needed to go home and rest early.

Ye Zhifa had something on his mind, so he agreed. He sat on the black bull's back and followed Uncle Wang back to the village.

His small house was close to Uncle Wang's house, but it was different from Uncle Wang's house, where his parents and wife were waiting. Ye Zhifa's house was empty, and no one was there to welcome him.

This was also reasonable. As an orphan who was picked up by the villagers when he was a baby, except for a jade pendant with his name on it, his real family did not leave anything for him. Even this name was called Leaves in the mouths of the villagers. Only he could remember Ye Zhifa's name clearly.

However, Ye Zhifa had long gotten used to the loneliness of an adult's soul, but what happened today made him unable to understand.

Lying on the small bed, Ye Zhifa took out the jade pendant with the name carved on it from under the pillow and rubbed it in his palm.

This was also his habit of thinking, and the only question that lingered in his mind at this time was - Was that dark blue crystal really an illusion?

Ye Zhifa had clearly seen the crystal with his own eyes. He even had a bleeding head when he hit it. How could the crystal and the wound disappear in the blink of an eye?

Even though he had a way of thinking that was more active than anyone else in this world, knowledge and understanding of this world still limited him. How could the current Ye Zhifa know the most unknown secret in this world?

After worrying for a while, Ye Zhifa returned the jade pendant and let out a long breath. He decided not to put the matter of the crystal aside for now.

No matter how secret this crystal had, could it be more worth worrying about than the matter of him transmigrating?
