In the city of Feng'an, the emperor of the Zhao Xin clan, it is located in the majestic and prosperous palace group directly west of it, and there is a slightly dilapidated palace in its southeast position. Look at the degree of its dilapidation can be seen that this palace has been some years, although it is a royal palace, but for some reason, it seems that it has not been protected for a long time, there is an old plaque on the palace gate of the dull vermilion lacquer, and the word Fengluo Garden is written on it. At this time, it was the autumn equinox, and the only bright thing in the courtyard was a plane tree, and the large plane leaves were shining with golden light, and the golden plane leaves had already fallen on the ground. Although the branches and leaves of this plane tree are glowing with golden light, it is very beautiful, but in such an environment, it is even more desolate. In the courtyard, a little maid was running around the plane tree, chasing a little boy about two years old, shouting "Little boy, slow down." ”

A woman stood at the gate of the palace, looking at the little boy running, her eyes were endlessly tender, but there was also a flash of sadness. On that snowy night two years ago, I lost the person I loved the most, and I also fled in a panic all the way, and finally escaped with an abandoned teleportation array repaired by Fifth Uncle Jiang. It was Zhao Qin'er's mother and son who escaped from the ascension, but Zhao Qin'er's appearance at this time was a little older than before, and now it looks consistent with her actual age.

At the beginning, the three of them were teleported by the teleportation array that had been old for a long time to the vicinity of the black iceberg at the southernmost point of the Hanlan Mountain System, and they had no sleep all night. After escaping, Zhao Qin'er learned the cause of the incident from Fifth Uncle Jiang, and her heart was shocked and confused, and she still had a little hatred for the Temple of the Apocalypse. But at that time, I looked around, and the road ahead was uncertain. In desperation, Zhao Qin'er told Uncle Jiang about her identity, and finally the two discussed and decided to go to Zhao Qin'er's homeland. After waiting until dawn, Zhao Qin'er and Fifth Uncle Jiang, who were holding Jiang Chen, crossed the mountains, traveled all the way to the west, riding and using some short- and medium-distance teleportation arrays, and after half a year, the three of them finally arrived at the territory of the Zhao Xin clan in Jiu Nao Prefecture, the westernmost part of the mainland. After Fifth Uncle Jiang escorted the mother and son to Feng'an City, Kyoto, the country of Zhao Xin's country, Zhao Qin'er was ridiculed and ridiculed by the clansmen. Fifth Uncle Jiang had to show his Divine Array Master's methods, and those Zhao clan members were all frightened and inexplicable, so they didn't dare to speak. But there are still clansmen who do not accept Zhao Qin'er's recognition of their ancestors and return to their ancestors, let alone Jiang Chen, who is still in his infancy. In the end, Zhao Lingyun, who has become the elder brother of the monarch of the Zhao Xin clan, and the old prince Dexian, who once loved him the most, came forward to solve the matter as the great sect of the Zhao clan, and arranged the mother and son to the place where Zhao Qin'er once lived, the "Fengluo Garden" named by the first monarch Inside, the mother and son can be regarded as having a place to live, and then Fifth Uncle Jiang spent three months carving a spirit sealing array in Jiang Chen's body, and then told Zhao Qin'er that he was going to find the Anti-Heaven Alliance, one of the most mysterious organizations on the mainland, to make some plans for Jiang Chen's future, and then said goodbye to Zhao Qin'er's mother and son, and no news came.

Legend has it that this organization was formed by a group of cultivators who did not believe in Emperor Hao, and the Temple of the Apocalypse called them heretics or forsakens, and the secular people called them demons. There is also a legend that this organization has existed for thousands of years, and there are many powerful people in the alliance. However, these people never appear in front of the world, and only when the signs of the apocalypse occur, these people will appear in the world, and finally converge in front of the pillar of heaven to embark on the road to conquer the heavens.

Zhao Qin'er has been back to her homeland for more than two years, watching Xiao Jiang Chen grow up little by little, talking for the first time, walking by herself for the first time, running by herself for the first time, and loving to play like an ordinary child. It's just that in this cold palace, there is only one little maid to play with him, although there is no brocade clothes and jade food, but there is no food and clothing. Occasionally, my brother would come over to see Zhao Qin'er, and he was also very fond of Jiang Chen, who sometimes showed unusual talents, and the days passed in this dull and uneventful way. As long as Zhao Qin'er grows up safely, marries a wife and has children, and lives like an ordinary person, she does not pray for him to be rich and rich, nor does she expect him to avenge his father. But fate!

When Jiang Chen was five years old, Zhao Lingyun brought a colorless crystal vein stone to test why little Jiang Chen attributes the spiritual vein, but the vein stone did not react, at that time Zhao Lingyun's mood was very complicated, thinking that his sister was so talented, but this little nephew did not inherit at all, and he turned out to be an ordinary person who did not know how to do it. Do you want to take an unpredictable path of martial arts cultivation like Yue Qianming, the old friend of the brother and sister, forget it!

I don't know why Zhao Lingyun still has no heirs of his own, although there are more than a dozen concubines in the harem, but none of them gave birth to a boy and a half girl to Zhao Lingyun, Zhao Lingyun is even more focused on government affairs, although the ministers of the court and members of the royal family have written many times to advise Zhao Lingyun to consider the future of Zhao Xin's country and give birth to heirs as soon as possible, but Zhao Lingyun himself, as the monarch of Zhao Xin's country, never cares about the matter of heirs, but this is to give Zhao clan members an opportunity to have ambitious people. And the reason why Zhao Lingyun has no heirs is not because he doesn't like children, he is very fond of Jiang Chen, who was born to his sister Zhao Qin'er, who is a compatriot, and is even better than Zhao Qin'er. After knowing that Jiang Chen couldn't become a spiritual cultivator, the only thought in his heart was how he could protect this child to live this life safely. And of course Zhao Qin'er knew the reason why the pulse measuring stone didn't respond, it was related to Jiang Chen's life experience, and Zhao Qin'er could only acquiesce that Jiang Chen was a person with a weak spiritual vein.

Zhao Lingyun will still come to Luofeng Yuan to rest for a while in the future, talk about the affairs of the court with his sister, who has a higher IQ than himself, and ask Zhao Lingqin's opinion on the decision of some political affairs, and tease Xiao Jiang Chen by the way. And Zhao Qin'er sometimes helps her brother to relieve his troubles, but he stops at a simple point and doesn't want to fall into the deep water of the government. But I don't know when, a rumor circulated in this Feng'an City, the child of the former Tianzhizhi girl turned out to be a waste, although Zhao Lingyun still loved his only sister as he did when he was a child, but he couldn't stop the crowd, so he could only not mention Jiang Chen's cultivation in front of his sister. Although this courtyard is deep and lonely, but it also blocks those vicious gossip, the sunset and sunrise are still not in a hurry, Xiao Jiang Chen can't live in this secluded palace forever, he will one day come into contact with this complex society, when he steps out of the gate of Luofeng Garden, those rumors will be like rotten eggs that have been fermented for a long time, and the stench will all come to him.

In the 36.5 billion year of the Emperor Hao Continent, in the summer of the twelfth year of Zhao Xin's Guoyuanxing, Jiang Chen, who was already six years old, happily carried a small bag on his back, and was sent out of the gate of Luofeng Yuan by Zhao Qin'er. The eunuch who led the eunuch led the way without any sound, but Jiang Chen, who was following behind, was very excited, he rarely walked out of Fengluo Garden, and even if he went out, it was around Fengluo Garden, so it was a novelty to see everything. Walking through a long corridor with carved beams and paintings, and passing through a quiet garden with green bamboo, I came to a palace, and the word Shuling Yuan was shining on the plaque above the door. On the lintels on both sides of the palace gate are engraved with "the spirit of cultivating heaven and earth protects the people, and hears the words of heaven and earth to deny oneself." The persuasion of the couplet. Jiang Chen followed the eunuch into the door, and came to an old man, who had white eyebrows, was wearing a white robe, his face was old-fashioned and calm, and he looked upright. The eunuch bowed down and said respectfully: "Dean Chen, this is the child of the eldest princess's family, and the emperor has given permission to enter the royal spiritual courtyard to practice. ”

This old man's name is Chen Ziyao, he is more than two hundred years old, he has refused many opportunities to go out of office, but he has been in this royal spiritual courtyard for more than 70 years, and he is the teacher of Zhao Lingyun, the monarch of the current Zhao Xin family, and Zhao Qin'er's former teacher, and the director of this royal spiritual courtyard. And this royal spiritual courtyard is not only open to the children of the royal family, but also the children of important ministers in the court have gone to school and cultivated in it. Chen Ziyao is very famous in this Zhao Xin country, and all the ministers in the court have to call him Master Chen or Dean Chen when they meet him.

Chen Ziyao looked at Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen also bent over and shouted milkily at this moment: "I've seen Old Master Chen." Old Master Chen waved his hand and said to the eunuch, "You go." Then he took Jiang Chen's little hand and asked in a low voice as he walked, "Why do you call me master, not the dean?" Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at it and said, "My mother taught me that I saw the first oldest person today to call master, so that it seems close." Chen Ziyao laughed and said, "That ghost clever girl." As they spoke, the two came to a room full of children of the same age as Jiang Chen. Chen Ziyao looked at him, said hello to the teaching of "Heavenly Language" to the children on the stage, and then pointed to an empty seat and said, "You can sit there from now on." Then he walked out of the classroom.

Jiang Chen had never seen so many peers since he was a child, he was a little nervous and a little excited, and after sitting in his seat, he looked around. On his right is a little fat man, who seems to be a little drowsy at the moment, and he didn't even notice that Old Master Chen came, and on the left is a little girl, who has some broken cake residues on the corner of her mouth at the moment, and it seems that she has just eaten shortbread. The little girl saw Jiang Chen looking at her, and looked at the corner of her mouth, and hurriedly reached out to wipe her mouth, and after wiping it, she also waved her small fist at Jiang Chen threateningly, meaning that he would beat him if he dared to tell Xi, Jiang Chen hurriedly turned his head over.

Chen Ziyao was walking in this very familiar spiritual courtyard at the moment, but in his mind was the small figure just now, and he couldn't help but sigh a little: The naughty girl was so old back then, and time passed so fast. But how could this girl's child not be able to practice? The lady of heaven who left all her peers far behind, disappeared for many years, but returned with her son, and the child is such a talent, I really don't know how to do it! But that girl has never appeared in front of the world since she returned, and even me, an old fellow, has not come to see her, and she is not like the little girl who dared to pull out her beard back then. "Alas!" Chen Ziyao sighed deeply, and he didn't know what that girl had been through all these years.

Jiang Chen took a small bite of a shortbread, while looking up at the teaching on the stage, the little girl on the right also gave him a small shortbread in order to buy him, little Jiang Chen was interested in everything, but he didn't refuse, he just found it interesting, at this time he was eating with the little girl happily. And the teacher was fascinated by what he was talking about at the moment, completely immersed in the wonderful text of "Heavenly Language" he taught, and he didn't find the two people who stole the food at all.

Until the little fat man sitting on Jiang Chen's right had already entered a state of deep sleep, he actually let out a low snoring sound, and the teacher read while walking, he read a sentence, and the little dolls sitting on it read a sentence. When they arrived at Jiang Chen's place, they were finally disturbed by the low snoring of the little fat man, and when they raised their heads to see the little fat man sleeping soundly, they first found the little fat man sleeping soundly, and then saw the crumbs on the corners of Jiang Chen and the little girl's mouths, and immediately became angry, knocked the little fat man up with a book, and shouted: "Yu Chide, Yue Wujing, and you." He pointed his finger at Jiang Chen and asked, "What's your name?" Jiang Chen lowered his head and replied, "My name is Jiang Chen." The teacher was in a trance, and he didn't think that there was anyone surnamed Jiang in the court, and after a while, he seemed to remember something and was stunned, but he didn't show his voice. With a little anger, he said, "You three take the book and go to the door to stand." Jiang Chen and the three of them could only do so, and came to the door of the classroom together with the books. There was a burst of laughter in the quiet classroom, until the low and thick bell rang and the three returned to their seats to pack up their books, and the three little ones were ridiculed by the other peers in the classroom.

The little fat man seemed to be accustomed to it, but Yue Wujing was angry and chased after the others for a while. The three of them prepared for the cultivation course that followed. Zhao Qin'er never told Jiang Chen that he couldn't cultivate, there was the spirit sealing array engraved by Fifth Uncle Jiang, and I believe that little Jiang Chen would not be able to comprehend the aura, and he couldn't alarm the Apocalypse Palace, and some things couldn't be explained to Xiao Jiang Chen. When little Jiang Chen came to school in the spiritual courtyard, Zhao Qin'er didn't deliberately tell Jiang Chen anything. It is also good to let Xiao Jiang Chen get in touch with children of the same age, and to boil his body by the way as he teaches Ming Deli, so when the imperial brother proposed that Jiang Chen go to school in the Royal Spiritual Academy, Zhao Qin'er did not refuse.

Jiang Chen followed Yue Wujing and the little fat man Wei Chi De to the practice room. has had the experience of being punished together, and the three of them are familiar with it, compared to the previous five years of life, this feeling of getting along with peers now is an experience that Jiang Chen has never experienced.

Childhood is always accompanied by some childish fun, as well as the purest friendships made. I was punished by the teacher together, and I did a prank together. We can make trouble over small things, we can reconcile with a gentle apology, and we can laugh all day long after a prank is successful. Many years later, Jiang Chen recalled the time spent in the spiritual courtyard, both happy and unsatisfactory. There are like-minded companions, and there are children who play tricks and bully him everywhere. But overall, it was the happiest time of his life!
