Chapter 01: Half a skeleton
[The strong make rules, the weak abide by the rules, and only by becoming the strongest can they regain their dignity!]
Chapter 01: Half a skeleton
Time, unknown.
Location, contract mainland.
In the geometric center of the contract continent, there is a snowy mountain with snow all year round.
The snowy mountain is majestic and spectacular, stretching thousands of miles, ups and downs. Looking from the depths of the sky, it is like an ancient god perched here, and there is a tendency to look up to heaven and earth.
In the depths of the proud snowy mountains, the average altitude is more than 5,000 meters. Here, the species are rare and quiet, but the first and only group of descendants of the contract continent have settled here.
"Look, they're back."
"These children are really good. They can climb to the top of the world and look for the holy light. Even if they don't find it, I'm proud of them."
"That's not, their leader is arrogant!"
......
A group of women stood at the entrance of the snow mountain village, standing on tiptoe at the direction of the sunset, all full of expectations.
At that time, the sunset was like blood, dyed the sky red, and the silver dots were piled up like tens of millions of diamonds, emitting dazzling light on the snow, reflecting the figure of the returned family.
There were 13 boys and girls who went home, four of whom carried a wooden coffin and looked quite gloomy, but their faces were full of bright smiles and the joy of success. They wanted to succeed in the task of finding the Holy Light.
Ao Wuji, who walks at the forefront, is a teenager who is almost 15 years old. His performance in the Ao clan is very outstanding. He is the leader of this action to find the Holy Light.
He walked arrogantly, and his childish face shot a firm look in his eyes.
"See, success will attract everyone's attention. My arrogant team, no matter what I do, will always compete for the first place and never fall behind." Ao Wuji is at the forefront and does not forget to inspire his team members.
"Fight for the first place forever, never fall behind!" The arrogant team shouted three times, shouting out blood and shouting **.
"It is not only the slogan to shout, but also to show the momentum of our proud people! Do you feel that you are about to become a capable man? Ao Wuji suddenly turned around and retreated to the village, his eyes swept over his team members' faces like electricity.
When asked by Ao Wuji, almost everyone became dumb, with an embarrassed look on their faces and lowered their heads.
Ao Wuji's look was cold, and a stern look appeared in his eyes. Just as he wanted to say something, a strong ting suddenly came from his right hand, and his face changed and stopped.
His team thought that Proud Wuji was really angry. They lowered their heads one by one and quietly marched to the village.
Ao Wuji looked at his right hand in a moment. Suddenly, a girl's fragrance came from his nose, but a beautiful team member came over.
"Brother Wuji, when I come back from this trip, I can vaguely feel that my body is a little numb. When absorbing spiritual quantity, this feeling is more obvious. Am I about to become a capable person and refine chakras?"
This girl, named Aokeer, is one of the arrogant team members. She is dressed in white, pure and cute, with jade-like skin, bullying the frost and snow. Walking in the sunset, against the snow, she is almost as bright and touching as an elf in the snow.
"Haha, I'm really an arrogant team member. In less than half a year, you should be able to become a real capable man." With the arrogance, some of the team members have become capable men, and the strength of the team will also be greatly enhanced. How can they be unhappy?
However, deep in his eyebrows, there seemed to be something on his mind. Talking to Ao Ke'er also seemed to be a little perfunctory.
"It's still not as good as you. Last time the elder said that you could become a capable man within ten days, and now it has been nine days. You should be able to become a capable man in these two days..."
Aokeer said with a smile and was praised by Ao Wuji. She was in a good mood. The smile on her face was much brighter than just now. Her smile was like a snow lotus blooming, but as far as her eyes could see, she found the appearance of Wuji's brother and her smile suffocated again.
"Brother Wuji, what's wrong with you? Since you found the holy light and came down from the world's first peak of jade needle peak, you have been a little strange." Ao Ke'er frowned slightly, stopped, and pouted and complained.
Although she is an arrogant team member, her relationship with arrogant is very intimate.
Ao Wuji was stunned, stopped, slowly raised his right hand and put it in front of him.
In his right hand, there is an extremely valuable gold glove, shining with a faint golden light, and there is nothing strange about it.
"What's wrong with you? Isn't this the glove found in the half of the skeleton? Ao Keer's touching eyes turned around and said with a smile, "Oh, I know. If you want to hide your privacy, are you afraid of being discovered by others? Don't worry, we are the only ones who see the half skeleton at first sight. As long as I don't say it, no one will know. Besides, you are the captain of this operation. It's right to take something, but aren't you afraid of bad luck when you take the dead's things?
"You also noticed that this glove seems to have life. As soon as you see me, it bites my hand. It's not that I'm willing to hide. From this point, it is predestined to me, but I don't know whether it is unlucky or not." Ao Wuji said with a faint smile.
Ao Ke'er's wonderful eyes turned around and smiled, "Yes, think about it carefully. A light to the sky was emitted from the half of the skeleton. As soon as you took off this glove, the golden light disappeared. Oh, by the way, the owner of the skeleton did not know that he had died for tens of thousands of years, but there was still such a strong heat on the skeleton, burning clothes, hair, nails, and magic weapons, but this gold glove was not damaged at all. Maybe it was really a treasure. No, you have to pay me for sealing your mouth, hehe.
I was amused by Ao Ke'er's bright and innocent smile, and the arrogant smile at the corners of her mouth was a little thicker. She didn't want to mention the golden gloves anymore, so she jumped out of the topic.
"These days, you should be serious. It's better to work hard and absorb more spiritual energy, so that you can become a capable man faster. If our team wants to be stronger than those 17-year-old, 18-year-old or even 20-year-old teams, they must first cultivate into capable men.
Nengshi, the watershed between the two people in the mainland.
mortals and capable people.
Becoming a capable man means standing out and having a certain talent. As long as you can practice a strange skill, it is equivalent to grasping an iron rice bowl. If you practice the strange skill of a little stone into gold, it must be a golden rice bowl.
Therefore, someone will come to hire Nengshi. Of course, the higher the level of Nengshi, the better the treatment.
Ao Keer barely reached the age of 15. If she can break through the realm of a capable man, her future must be unlimited. Not to mention a capable man, even a higher-level master, shape master and field owner may be.
However, in front of her, there is always an arrogant person born only an hour earlier than her!
"Brother Wuji, after coming down from the jade needle peak, I feel that my physical fitness (body ability) and mind power have improved to a certain extent. If I can find some more elixir to supplement the elemental power, I can absorb enough spiritual quantity (the purest energy between heaven and earth) and become a real capable man. Maybe I may catch up with Wu You don't have to be a brother, hee."
Ao Wuji smiled faintly. He was afraid that Ao Keer would find the strangeness of the golden gloves, so he wanted to open her and smiled casually:
"Your mother is calling you to go home for dinner. Go! I'll give the half of the bones to Elder Ding.
"No, this thing was the first thing we found. I want to meet the elder on the top with you and ask him for a reward. If he doesn't give it, I'll annoy him to death." Ao Keer shook her head.
Ao Wuji grinned at the corners of his mouth and said to himself, "You are almost annoying me to death." Without saying much, he jumped out and came to the four teenagers carrying a mouthful of Nanmu coffin.
"The four of you worked harder, carry this coffin, follow me to the altar, and give it to the elders on the top."
The four people's faces are full of fiery. They went to the altar to meet the top elders. It is an honor that only a few people have among the disciples of the whole younger generation. If the top elders are willing to give advice and become a real capable man, it will never be far away.
At this moment, not to mention carrying a coffin on his shoulder, even if he carried a body on his back, he did not hesitate.
Whether the four people agree or not, they will go first.
As soon as he took four or five steps, there was a strong tingling from his arrogant right hand, as if countless small thorns were eating his flesh and blood.
What shocked him more then happened again. He suddenly felt that his right hand seemed to have been bitten by this mysterious glove, and the spirit that had just condensed leaked out of the "hole" like water.
"What's going on? The attacks are getting more and more frequent. What kind of glove is this? It can't be taken off, pulled off, cut and cut. Now it has penetrated into my flesh and blood like a parasite.
The arrogant bone was stimulated, and the resoluteness in his eyes became stronger. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist: "His grandma, look at how I conquer you!" Keep moving forward.
As soon as his spirit dispersed, he could not walk fast. He was almost a person who had never practiced at all. He walked out step by step, and his footprints were deeply stuck in the snow and walked towards the tower in the middle of the snow mountain village.
The blue sky is like washing, and there is no cloud pattern.
The shy sunset glow, like a beautiful woman, disappeared behind the distant snowy mountains.
When night comes, the most sacred Tongxiao Tower in the snow mountain village is getting brighter and brighter, emitting an aura, shining on the whole snow mountain village.
Ao Wuji was lucky to come to Tongxiao Tower once and probably knew some things about Tongxiao Tower, which were not as rumors in the village said.
The reason why the Tongxiao Tower is sacred and mysterious is not the seven floors towering into the sky, but the seven floors leading to the depths of the earth. The upper part of the surface is called the sky layer, in which some villages and even the elders of the proud people live, while the seven floors deep underground hide the secret treasures of the Ao people. The further down, the more valuable they are.
It is said that in thousands of years, the elders of the clan have been to the five floors at most. As for what is deeper, no one knows, just because their strength has not yet reached the realm that can open the six floors of the earth, and arrogant and others have come to the fifth floor under the leadership of the top elders with the half of the remnants. Layer.
"Wuji, you have done a good job this time. You have found the source of the holy light and made a great contribution."
On the fifth floor of Tongxiao Tower, the voice of the elders on the top is very fine, but extremely loud. In this cold space, the echoes are stirring, as if there is a fierce fight.
"There is an iron piece on the cabinet over there. You can take it as a reward for this mission." The elder pointed to a cabinet on his right hand with a white jade crutch.
"Aha, okay, thank you very much, the elder, the top elder's golden gun did not fall, the top elders are in the sky, the top elders are majestic and angry, and the top elders fought overnight..." The four people who came in with arrogant Wuji carrying the Nanmu coffin burst into a cheer and recited the "prame" circulating when they were young, and the top elders were angry. Let go, laugh so much that I can't close my mouth.
People in the contract continent can practice strange arts, and becoming a capable man is a sign of being able to master strange arts. The source of manipulation lies in the chakras in the body.
Naturally, some methods are needed to practice chakras. These methods of practicing chakras have seven grades: jade, gold, silver, copper, iron, leather and paper.
The daily practice of the proud people is paper-level secret methods, and the slightly more expensive leather-level secret methods can only be practiced occasionally. As for the iron-level secret methods, they have never seen these young disciples. How can they not be ecstatic?
In his arrogant eyes, there was also a frenzy, but after all, he was not as frivolous as the team members. He turned his eyes and looked at the pair of gold gloves and said, "Do you want to tell Elder Ding about this gold gloves? He is knowledgeable and skillful. Maybe he can help me take off the gloves... No, no, I'm not as arrogant as an idle person. I must be able to take off the gloves with my own strength.
Ao Wuji came to his senses. The others have gone. There are only the top elder and himself on the five floors of the huge tower.
"Wuji, what are you thinking... How did you go to the Jade Needle Peak? The amount of spirituality stored in the body does not increase but decrease. If it goes on like this, you can't become a capable man before sunset tomorrow."
Under the dim light, the figure of the elder on the top remained motionless in the shadow, full of gloomy atmosphere. The Nanmu coffin lay quietly on the cold ground, solidifying the air of the whole Tongxiao Tower.
"Eader, I'm fine. Maybe this mission is too tired." Ao Wuji answered casually and looked at the golden gloves intentionally or unintentionally.
"They have all been rewarded. If you complete the task, you should also reward something. Do you have the confidence to try the inheritance of the fetal charm?
The top elder's white jade crutch gently touched the ground, and there was an echo from the empty five floors of the ground.
"Yes, I have confidence. I'm arrogant and will do it!" Ao Wuji's heart gushed out of heat and ecstasy in an instant, and his blood boiled up in an instant.
The inheritance of the divine fetal charm will completely change the physique of the practitioner, from an ordinary physical fetus to an energy body made of energy accumulation.
This is the reward that all proud people dream of, and it is also the reward that all proud people are most afraid of.
Because from ancient times to now, among the 169 people who are qualified to receive the inheritance of the divine fetal charm, they can't control their own powerful spiritual power when they gradually transform into energy bodies, and eventually end up self-destruct.
"Good! The spiritual quantity in your body dissipates quickly. Go back and have a good rest. When your body returns to its peak state, you can break through the chakra and come to me again.
The symbolic eyes in the arrogant eyes surged up again and said secretly, "Before tomorrow night, you must become a real capable man!"
"Wuch, your glove is very beautiful. Can you show me?" I don't know if the elder Ding saw anything, and suddenly asked this question.
"There's nothing to see." Ao Wuji softly refused, turned directly, walked out of the shadow step by step, and pushed open the stone door on the fifth floor.
"Little baby, it will be fatal to accept the inheritance of the divine fetal charm. Don't!" The sound in his heart shocked Ao Wuji's whole body. He looked around, and his eyes stopped at this pair of mysterious gold gloves.
