In the vast depths of the grassland in the northern desert, under a snow-capped snow-capped mountain on the top of the mountain, there are several poor herders living in the snowy family.

Their tents are simple and thin, full of patches. If strong winds come, adult herders will have to hold the wooden stakes that are fixed on the tent with their hands full of frostbite, otherwise the tent will be blown away.

The children would hold the head sheep tightly and hide their bodies under its chest and abdomen. This was not only to ensure that the thin sheep were not frightened and escaped, but also to ensure that they would not be rolled all over the ground by the strong wind.

The wilderness at the foot of the mountain is full of primitive aura, and wild animals will appear from time to time. Not only jackals, but also black bears, which will threaten the flock and shepherds.

Even in grasslands with harsh environments, such places are the least suitable for survival, and are no different from places of exile. Herders who will struggle here generally have various difficulties.

The weather is clear today, with white clouds in the blue sky and a half-grown child wrapped in animal skins walking out of an extra small tent.

The air is relatively hot today. At noon, the sun is particularly irritating, and wearing thick sheepskin will undoubtedly suffer. However, the boy had no other choice because he only had such a dress. Whether it was the cold winter or the scorching heat, if he didn't want to run around with his butt, he had to wear it.

In such a barren place, there is actually not much difference between the shepherds and the flocks of sheep they grazed, and the wild animals in the mountains. The biggest difference is that they can speak human language.

So in the hot time, even if you don’t wear clothes, there is nothing wrong with the children in the other two tents, not to mention boys, even girls, often only wear leaves.

But this young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is different.

His mother told him that he had noble blood and a heroic father, so no matter where he was or what kind of situation he faced, he had to wear clothes.

You must wear clothes. This young herder named Yelu Yi, who later changed his name to Yelu Abaoji, initially realized that he was different from others.

The young herder grinded a sheep bone as thick as a thumb on the stone outside the tent. At his feet, there were many such broken bones, including some slender birch poles.

About an hour later, the boy completed his work - four arrows.

"It is better to use wolf teeth to arrows." A short, dark-faced shepherd came to the boy from outside the tent not far away, leaned over and picked up the sheep bone arrows made by the other party and looked at them.

"In a few days, I will have wolf-tooth arrows." The boy raised his head and responded confidently.

The meaning of this sentence is of course that a young man wants to go to the mountains to hunt and can hunt wild wolves. There are not many iron tools on the grassland. Except for those large tribes, iron arrowheads are rare. A large number of herders use animal bone arrows, and the best one is undoubtedly wolf teeth.

As one of the few neighbors of the teenager, the adult shepherd naturally knew the situation of the teenager. He turned around and looked at the ugly tent, "Your mother is so sick this time, it is difficult for you. You need to go to the mountains to hunt by yourself."

The boy didn't speak.

Living here, grazing is not the most important way to make a living, because they have too few sheep, and more often, they need to go into the mountains to hunt wild animals.

The boy put away the arrow, put a short knife on his waist, picked up a longbow that was not much shorter than him, and said to the adult herder: "I'll ask you to take care of me these days."

Compared with the rough arrows made by the boy, the short sword and long bow on his waist are undoubtedly much more refined. Compared with the two, it is like one in the sky and one in the ground. The adult shepherd is very jealous of these two things, but he has not yet taken it as his own.

Of course, he did not intend to bear the pressure of life for the teenager, and went into the mountains with the other party to help the other party hunt. Deep in the grassland, the pressure of each shepherd's own life is enough to take their lives at any time and have no time to share with others.

"Anda, I'll go into the mountain with you!" At this time, a thin boy came over, carrying a bow and arrow, but his bow was much shabby compared to Yelu Abaoji's, both of the quality and appearance.

The adult herder grabbed the thin boy and cursed: "Just like you, why are you messing around? Go back and let your sheep go!"

Yelu Abaoji said to the thin boy seriously: "I am already thirteen years old. My mother said that I must go to the mountain alone to complete the hunting. This is my coming-of-age ceremony."

Thirteen years old, the adult ceremony. This is unique to Yelu Abaoji.

Yelu Abaoji bid farewell to the shepherd and his son, and brought only three days of dry food and water to the vast and dangerous mountains alone.

"I don't know if he can come out alive. However, the possibility is very small." The adult shepherd rubbed his left shoulder. There was a clear depression there. It was scratched by a wild beast when he was hunting in the mountains a few years ago, and a piece of bone was missing.

"Anda will definitely come back, and he will bring back his prey!" The thin young man was full of confidence, and his eyes looked at Yelu Abaoji's back, full of respect and trust.

The adult shepherd shook his head sadly, "When entering the mountain, who is the hunter and who is the prey, that's not necessarily the case. What's more, he goes into the mountain alone. Are there fewer hunters buried in the mountains every year than the wild beasts that are hunted?"

Five days later, just when the thin boy thought Yelu Abaoji was dead in the mountains, in the afterglow of the evening, he walked out of the wilderness with a bloody wild deer and a fat rabbit in his hand.

Nearly half a month later, Yelu Abaoji could move again. His injuries were indeed not light, but fortunately, he did not leave any traces. This was a blessing in the eyes of adult herders.

At the same time, Yelu Abaoji also gained the awe of his neighbors - including several adult shepherds.

Because Yelu Abaoji also hunted a black bear!

That was the root cause of his injury.

According to Yelu Abaoji's statement, several herders were shocked when they went to the mountains to find black bears. They were simply like gods who could hunt such an existence.

When Yelu Abaoji recovered, he was already a formal monk.

In the process of fighting with the Black Bear in his life and death, he actually awakened himself and realized the power of cultivation!

Since then, Yelu Abaoji has never hunted again.

Not only him, but his neighbors never entered the mountains again.

They began to conquer other shepherds.

This is undoubtedly a more efficient, faster, and even safer way to make a living. Once you enter the mountain, there are countless unpredictable dangers. Compared with the powerful beasts in the mountain that are constantly moving, ordinary shepherds are undoubtedly much easier to bully.

When Yelu Abaoji conquered the 100th shepherd's tent and returned triumphant with the spoils, his mother called him alone and told him with unprecedented solemn expression, his life experience and what he needed to do in the future.

His father was the chief of the powerful Diela tribe on the grassland, a hero admired by everyone, but was injured in a war and then seized his position. In order to escape from disaster, his strong and wise mother took him away for thousands of miles and came to this wilderness to live in seclusion.

Now that he has shown his extraordinary talent and strength, he should avenge his father and take back his position.

"Yelu Yi, when there are ten thousand string-controlling warriors behind you, you can return to the tribe and challenge your enemies. So from today on, every time you conquer a shepherd, you cannot kill them, but you must conquer them. When you gain reputation and accumulate strength, you can return to your tribe in the face of a warrior!"

Yelu Abaoji remembered this sentence.

He began to fight non-stop.

His opponents became stronger and stronger, from sporadic tents to living tribes, to large-scale 100-person tribes, and to large-scale 100-person tribes.

There are more and more warriors behind him, and his reputation is becoming more and more famous. In just three years, more than a thousand warriors have taken the initiative to vote.

They followed him, a newly rising hero on the grassland, and joined his ranks, constantly expanding their control and wealth.

Gradually, Yelu Abaoji no longer needed every tribe to attack because the other party began to surrender and surrender. For some small tribes, he could only send his powerful generals to the rescue.

Of course, his enemies are becoming stronger and stronger, and they are fighting with monks and masters more and more frequently, and they are even in danger many times. It is not that he has not experienced failure, but he has not died.

As long as he is not dead, no matter how many of his subordinates die in battle, after a period of time, Yelu Abaoji, who has further cultivation, will always succeed in taking revenge.

When he returned to the Diela tribe with more than 10,000 elite soldiers from all wars, he was already a well-known hero on the grassland. He admired such a strong man very much, and the elders even took the initiative to greet him.

Subsequently, the chief of the Diela tribe, Yelu Abaoji's enemy, was forced to fight with Yelu Abaoji alone in the face of the general trend.

Yelu Abaoji, who was far from the age of twentieth, killed his enemy in front of everyone, cut off the other party's head, and amid the cheers of everyone, he became the new chief of the Diela tribe.

That night, after the cow drink, Yelu Abaoji hugged the thin young man from his former neighbor, and said to him with great enthusiasm: "From now on, your name and my name will be destined to be the stars on the grassland and be looked up to by countless people! I, Yelu Abaoji, you, Yelu Xie Niechi, will become the hero in everyone's mind!"

Yelu Abaoji's legendary path has now entered the climax.

After being favored by the Divine Cult, he successfully unified the eight Khitan tribes.

Afterwards, he no longer had to go out to fight in person. His masters and powerful men led his army to sweep the entire grassland with the momentum of floods and establish the hegemony of the Khitan Kingdom!

His ambition also began to become a qualified hunter from the beginning, so that his mother would no longer have to work hard, and gradually become a conquering more people, possessing more wealth, beauties, and receiving more surrenders until he established a dynasty that never appeared on the grassland!

Finally one day, Yelu Abaoji's eyes turned to the south of the grassland and the Great Wall.

He finally understood that the world is so big that the grassland is nothing, and the Central Plains in the Great Wall are the highest point of wealth and power.

The heroes there have established glory that he could not imagine, conquered the capital he had never arrived, and established the achievements of leaving a name forever.

This is true warriors.

The ambition Yelu Abaoji pointed the blade in his hand at that point.

This invincible king of the grassland vowed to become the emperor of the ages and will last forever in history.

He understood that only the south is ahead of him, and only by conquering there can he conquer the world.

Only by being called the greatest hero.

So, he met Li Ye.
