If you don't mind machine translations then here is the first chapter for you:
It was September with the slight chill of autumn.
Daybreak, at night and daytime, is connecting with, Datian Town in thick fog is still sleeping soundly, starts to climb mountains to hunt except for several diligent hunting households, occasionally several chickens crying dog's bark cannot alarm the Datian Town's clear dream, is neglected quickly in the silence.
Lives on the mountain hillside live on water while being close to it, backs on the good wishes that in the Small Islet Mountains' Datian Town name is wearing to till the fields, actually because of paddies scarce and barren, but has to the generation hunting.
The chicken cried three, the weather shines gradually, on the street had the person's shadow gradually, often had „drank and drinks” the exercising martial arts sound to resound through sky over Datian Town.
These exercise martial arts in the shouting out sound mostly to be childish, the youth who precisely morning exercise send out, they clench jaws, the heart saves is surpassing Qin Haoxuan and Zhang Kuang's goal, is keeping practicing assiduously.
In Datian Town youth heart, except for surpassing Qin Haoxuan and Zhang Kuang, but also has a dreamlike dream, that on the deities by Small Islet Mountains was received for the apprentice, practices a skill of jumping fences and mounting roofs, must become an outstanding hunting household again badly.
Datian Town west also calculates that in a lordly courtyard, their surpassing goal Qin Haoxuan also lies on the bed the deep sleep.
In Datian Town this group of children, the Qin Haoxuan skill is the most outstanding, every day must rest to solar tall Zhao him sweeps away all obstacles in the contemporaries, besides an exquisite hunting skill and method, can put out some rare medicinal herbs to sell to the medicine shop on town once for a while, earns not the poor silver money subsidy home, was not only paid homage to admire by many contemporaries, even the Sirs are still full of praise, feels ashamed in comparison.
No one notices variety variegated little snake to steal into Qin Haoxuan's Qin Haoxuan's quietly, at the extremely skilled tour his head, then lay before the Qin Haoxuan's pillow is motionless.
This little snake roughly half a foot, a colorful snakeskin, on the skin has the dense and numerous bulge, touches the lumps, resembles the scale Non- Qilin. Its head like the general Ophidia cone-shape, instead four directions, does not look extremely strange.
“Wú... ” Qin Haoxuan rubs the eyes, sits, sees the head variety variegated, motionless little snake is not only not surprised, instead convenient a yellow color object takes down the little snake mouth is holding in the mouth, this yellow color object small nail is roughly big, sends out the spooky delicate fragrance, immediately motionless little snake will hold into the bosom.
This scrap yellow color object is a precious sealwort, looks at the semblance is yellow color gravel, appearance although is unattractive, but from its exquisite touch, and sends out the completely relaxed delicate fragrance, makes clear to it is not unusual , the medicine laid out the old man to talk over no wonder for several years, certainly can sell a good price.
Qin Haoxuan's puts in the bosom traces bosom ice-cold little snake, the train of thought scatters, recalls several years ago.
On his grandfather also left has served as an official, afterward after the ancestor the family/home moved to Datian Town, then to the descendant established the custom, must study actually cannot serve as an official, now the father is only a service farm work makes money not many, mother made some thick liquid thick liquid to wash to make money the subsidy in the townhome.
From Qin Haoxuan that the urination studies, became aware to study from the book rather than admitted to the academic honor for the reason, therefore sensible compared with common contemporaries early him, eight years old climbed mountains to go hunting along with the Sirs, in the crisis and slaughtered exercised a fine athlete, the big end of discontented hunting was divided by the Sirs, his tenth then climbed mountains to hunt that year alone.
although often encounters the danger, but Qin Haoxuan turns danger into safety repeatedly, the injury of only receiving is nipped one by strange little snake at age 12, this, his life completely changed.
That is a summer early morning, connected four days of rainstorms, the mountain road mud was difficult to walk, multiplies miasma, in the family/home putting into the pot meter/rice Qin Haoxuan does not have to just dawn climb mountains in the day, starts to search for the prey.
However nearby mountain Yu prey was hit 7788 early, wandered morning Qin Haoxuan to have achieved nothing, in he could not find way out, a river deer has fled rapidly, Qin Haoxuan pursued without demur.
That river deer is quite sly, threads back and forth in the grove, Qin Haoxuan ripple fire several arrows came up empty-handed, moreover, it also courses the Small Islet Mountains' deep place Qin Haoxuan.
Datian Town generation hunting, but saunters in the surrounding, even if prey more and more scarce today also no one dares to penetrate Small Islet Mountains, once had brave hunting household thorough Small Islet Mountains, actually does not see.
Not only in legend Small Islet Mountains is occupying the deity, demons, and monsters of many devils.
传说小屿山中不但居住着神仙,还有许多凶神恶煞的妖魔鬼怪。
Has legend Qin Haoxuan of demons and monsters to be half believing and half doubting to the remote mountain, but in the remote mountain is miasma runs amuck surely, some innumerable ominous birds and beasts, therefore he does not dare to penetrate the Small Islet Mountains hunting, but goes home without the prey at present again, can only let the father mother and starves together.
Qin Haoxuan clenched teeth to pursue, never saying die to pursue was very far, finally killed this sly river deer, at this time he has penetrated Small Islet Mountains, here unvisited, joint held the thick lofty tree to block the sky, overgrowing with heather of cover, the moist ground overspread one to have a decayed fallen leaf, can only determine Datian Town in the direction, when with memory fumble road.
Paws proceeds along no particular course the road that for a long time Qin Haoxuan had not found to go home actually arrives in a small mountain valley.
Compared with towering ancient wood of outside, this is small mountain valley of safflower green grass, the environment is quiet and beautiful, fine spring day.
When Qin Haoxuan hunting Mr. Chen to medicine shop has studied the identification herbal medicine especially, recognized here to grow many values, not poor herbal medicines, it can bring to sell to Mr. Chen, can change one month of grain money, mother did not use that laboriously.
To do does, Qin Haoxuan cannot attend to this is in the crisis-ridden Small Islet Mountains deep place, picks the herbal medicine wantonly.
When Qin Haoxuan picks happy, suddenly colorful little snake flees from the thick patch of grass, bites in the Qin Haoxuan's right-hand.
Qin Haoxuan but thinks a dizziness, pū tōng throws down on the ground, faints.
Also has not known how long, thinks Qin Haoxuan that oneself are doomed dead wakes up from the stupor, the discovery original green grass such as towering ancient wood is impressively ordinary, does not calculate big small mountain valley was suddenly broader in oneself eyes.
Moves the body, the body has never had the flexibility, in just liking the lofty tree thick patch of grass shuttles back and forth.
It is not right, oneself are not uses, but is the body bends down on the ground hovers?
At the edge of water pond, Qin Haoxuan sees own body is not the familiar human body, but is a colorful snake, not far away, his body is sprawled to lie down in the thick patch of grass, did not have the heartbeat and breath.
Is it possible that did oneself die? Takes possession in this does nip on my little snake?
A fearful thought flashes through in the Qin Haoxuan mind, the rapid tour to own body by, imagines shuttling back and forth the soul.
Suddenly, a strong suction „corpse” on transmits from oneself, Qin Haoxuan but thinks that has a dizzy spell, the soul suction, after the moment, opens the eye again, oneself return to the human body unexpectedly, but strange little snake that before the soul took possession lay on the ground is motionless.
Moves the thought again, another strong suction pulls the soul to little snake on.
If several samsara, Qin Haoxuan determined finally own soul can shuttle back and forth to take possession in the body and the main body of little snake back and forth, if immediately attains Supreme Treasure, lights up with pleasure.
This tosses about is the night falls, the miasma in Small Islet Mountains starts to spread, if the human body inhales the miasma to be doomed dead, before this little snake, lives in Small Islet Mountains, the miasma thinks that is unable to threaten it.
The Qin Haoxuan thought moves, is attached to the soul little snake, miasma that really in mountain valley raises definitely is unable to harm him.
His hovering body, but also discovered a mysterious interesting part, the snake body roamed passed/lived place will leave behind a special flavor/smell, regardless of walks far, when can seek for the arrival road according to this aura, in other words he can seek for the road that goes home.
When road that in seeking to go home, Qin Haoxuan also discovered many interesting parts of snake body, for example hundred do not invade poisonously, for example especially is sensitive to the spiritual medicine different grass, some leopard greedy people noticed little snake frightens turns around runs.
Henceforward, Qin Haoxuan often takes possession in the evening on little snake, enters the Small Islet Mountains deep place to seek for the rare and precious raw material for medicine, then sold to medicine shop Mr. Chen to earn the far ratio to go hunting more much silver money, the day of his family/home also gets better and better, he becomes the model models in Datian Town this crowd of youth.
Taking possession little snake treasure hunt although is everywhere mysterious, but takes possession after each time, will leave behind repercussion -- to be exhausted next day, cannot spunk up, only wants to sleep.
Changed the clothing, Qin Haoxuan walked out of the door with the sealwort, went against him of two dark pouches to be tired, forced to greet with the acquaintance who on the road bumped into.
In Qin Haoxuan to the road in medicine shop on, a pitiful yell reaches in his ear.
„Oh... Boss Zhang I really do not have money, Boss Zhang forgives... oh...”
Several youth are kicking two youth who the ground is swaying back and forth maliciously, a brocade clothes youth as if enjoys others' pitiful yell calmly extremely, often sends out to sneer, he is Zhang Kuang that and Qin Haoxuan shares the honor.
The surrounded youth are many, has the indignation, has the sympathy, there are filled with righteous indignation, does not have one to dare to speak in the front of that brocade clothes youth.
„Favored to father, this does not pay the insurance premium on time the fate!” Zhang Kuang little brother is stepping on a face of ground youth, self-satisfied declaration.
At this time another youth was driven beyond the limits of forbearance finally, cursed loudly: „Robber, Zhang Kuang your robber dies like a dog!”
Without beginning on the Zhang Kuang face flashes through a fierceness, sees only him to walk fast, will kick on that youth mouth, conceivable, once were kicked , a youth mouth tooth did not remain several.
„Surnamed Zhang, haven't you seen me?” Has not lifted saying after here Qin Haoxuan eyelid: „You, if dares to kick, I tied up to throw Small Islet Mountains to feed the wolf you!”
Qin Haoxuan in Datian Town this group of youth is really the different kind, eight years old received the family heavy burden he who climbs mountains to hunt rarely with this group of contemporaries no steady jobs, became the Boss in a youngster with Zhang Kuang that he shares the honor naturally.
The Zhang Kuang's father is the Datian Town most outstanding hunter, but Zhang Kuang my also talent different reported that at age 12 once Tushou killed two greedy people, is the youth has.
However such a ruthless role, can lord it over in Datian Town this group of children, dreaded, him about Qin Haoxuan is only once beaten violently by Qin Haoxuan last year, broke four ribs, lay down for three months to recover on the bed, from now on does not dare to offend Qin Haoxuan.
The Qin Haoxuan's sound like invisible shackles, compels the foot that Zhang Kuang takes back stiffly must kick out, looks to Qin Haoxuan, although in the heart wishes one could to tear to shreds him, but in the surface actually does not dare to reveal the slightest.
He knows that Qin Haoxuan could say can achieve, if oneself this kicked the reality, said that ties up itself to lose climbs mountains to feed the wolf certainly to do!
A heart hatred incomparable Zhang Kuang complexion revolution, eyebrow corner/horn many are also hanging some cold frosts: „Surnamed Qin, these two go bad my custom, can teach?”
In the Qin Haoxuan heart sneers, when did this take by force and deceit also becomes the custom? He was disinclined to say anything with Zhang Kuang, the mouth squeezed out a character ‚get lost/rolling’ character.
Zhang Kuang hear of facial colors are ugly, actually also knows that gets angry can only suffer a loss, in the heart cussed out a lot of Qin Haoxuan, how he could not master this Qin Haoxuan actually to think that studied the person who since childhood grew up, should deeply understand that ‚formidable’ two characters, united the hand and foot to be able with oneself the running amuck native place, how everything must do against with oneself.
Qin Haoxuan sees Zhang Kuang that smelly complexion, knows that the opposite party is thinking anything, in the heart sighed talks over itself secretly: Qin Haoxuan Qin Haoxuan, your studying reason, should know that at a young age ‚formidable’ two characters, should know that far away from this evil person is, how to come across this thing you then unable to bear?
Thinks of here, Qin Haoxuan also smiles bitterly, oneself study the although reason of reading, actually also fostered some smelly temperament of scholar, clear(ly) knew sometimes standing and remaining aloof from the thing of no immediate concern to oneself, then can evade many wicked matters, actually could not endure in the heart this ‚principle’ character.
Has eyesight sharp one to see in the fist that Qin Haoxuan grips tightly as if has anything, but also sends out the light quiet and beautiful medicine fragrance, said: “Wú... quite fragrant! Does Brother Qin, what good thing result in today? Is this hurries to the Chen Family medicine shop to sell? ”
„Nonsense, isn't the thing that Brother Qin takes when the good thing?” Qin Haoxuan has not spoken, a youth then continued, flatter the response, wins one piece to echo the sound quickly.
„Brother Qin, two outside guests buy it is said today completely up the precious raw material for medicine of Chen Family medicine shop, but also said that others want the precious raw material for medicine, they can put out compared with the Chen Family medicine shop are higher than many price purchases!”
„Yes, I also heard, Brother Qin some of your always many good things, if they can have a liking, could get rich!”
In the Qin Haoxuan heart moves, the dark feeling luck is good, the frank promise said: „Has a look, if the selling price is good, I asked you to drink.”
In cheers, Qin Haoxuan was crowded around by many youths is moving toward the Chen Family medicine shop.
Appears suction Qin Haoxuan of complete eyeball, the side only has several hardcore little brothers' Zhang Kuang to clench jaws saying: „Shortly the deities will arrive for selecting apprentices. I must be chosen by the dieties so that I can leave this foul place!"
