Tonight the moon is bright and the stars are shining

At the top of the dam, Qi Tian sat on the bluestone that was cracked into several pieces of the dam, holding half a steamed bun with green mildew spots tightly in his hand, and a pair of bright eyes looking into the distance, completely lacking the lively energy on weekdays.

Erhu sighed and looked at Qi Tian, he naturally knew why Qi Tian looked like this, the life of a little beggar was undoubtedly painful, and this pain not only came from life but also from the heart. For them, being beaten and scolded is commonplace, and it's not a big deal, but being looked down upon and having no self-esteem is the most painful.

After a while, Qi Tian opened his eyes wide and said with great joy: "Second Tiger Brother... You say that if we become what Mr. said, we will become that kind of gas..."

"Xiaotian, you are my brother, won't I talk about it today, tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to the town to find a job as a porter, and we won't have to go in the future...... , In short, after earning money and renting Shangtian, I will definitely let you be well fed and clothed, okay?" Erhu didn't look directly at Qi Tian and gritted his teeth and said.

Qi Tian grabbed the steamed bun in his hand and said eagerly: "But, what if you wake up?"

"If you wake up the spirit that Mr. said, I will agree with you to get out of this Cangshan Town, okay! Sleep, Mr. will let us go early tomorrow, Xiao Tian. ”

Qi Tian knows Erhu's thoughts, Erhu has been taking care of him all these years, a child with a child and a child among them can't say that the grievances are unclear, I'm afraid only Erhu knows about him. "Xiao Tian" This is what Erhu coaxed him to obey, and he hasn't heard him say it for a long time.

Nothing was said all night

The red glow on the horizon has not yet appeared, and it is when the sleep is the deepest, I heard a voice from the dam, "Get up~Yo roar~" This voice is terrible at this time.

I saw that several farmhouses under the dam lit candles one after another, and there was a faint sound of "Oh, what time is this, those two little cubs, let Lao Tzu see that he has to kill them..."

"Forget it... Keep sleeping, Ming'er still has a job, blow out the candle, these two little cubs are crazy today. ”

"Hey, Brother Erhu, wouldn't it be beautiful for you and me to come to the throat every day at this hour?"

"Don't, Daddy Zhang under the dam is very grumpy, did you forget that he ran after the mountain with an iron fork?"

Qi Tian stretched out his tongue and stopped talking, the two of them frolicked and went straight to the school, even though the night was still deep now, it still did not hinder the two of them from running all the way, and they had already arrived at the school in a short time.

"Hey, didn't this gentleman let us come earlier, why didn't the door of the school open? Qi Tian scratched the nest of messy hair on the top of his head, looking puzzled.

"Ahem, Mr. Qi, who did you say overslept?" Mr. Gao said with a smile in his voice.

When the two heard Mr. Gao's voice, they hurriedly bowed and looked up, but found that the originally closed gate of the academy suddenly opened at some point, and Mr. Gao looked at the two with a soft light like fireflies, twisting his beard and groaning.

Qi Tian Erhu's expressions changed, the door of this academy was wrapped in iron sheets and was quite heavy, on weekdays, it was Dou Wushi who took the older martial arts boys to open the door with great effort, this Mr. Gao didn't know what means he used, and he actually opened this heavy door quietly, which was very surprising.

Qi Tian patted his chest and said in surprise: "Sir, you, how can you shine like a firefly?"

"Stupid, sir, this is catching a lot of fireflies on your body, like a child, sir, if you want to see the way, you will make a lantern, why waste this?" Erhu stared at Mr. Gao, and his tone was still with a trace of regret.

The two sang and harmonized, and they actually discussed the fluorescence on their bodies.

Mr. Gao rolled his eyes and almost didn't get angry with the two of them, he pulled his beard and shouted at the two of them: "Get in here, two stinky boys who don't know anything! Lingwenju Tower is waiting for you, come and ask if you have any questions." ”

Qi Tian and Erhu shrunk their necks, looked at each other and stuck out their tongues, and hurriedly ran towards the academy.

And Mr. Gao, who was originally at the gate, disappeared like a stream of fire.

The two were slightly stunned, but they still obeyed Mr. Gao's words and ran to Lingwenju.

At tea time, the two had already seen Mr. Gao's small courtyard, and when they were hesitating, Mr. Gao's gentle voice came from inside.

"Come in, two boys. ”

Qi Tian took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door of Lingwenju.

In the courtyard, Mr. Gao stood quietly under the seven-story tower, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the arrival of Qi Tian and Erhu.

Mr. Gao looked at Qi Tian Erhu with a smile: "I know that you two must have a lot of questions to ask in your heart, but you can follow me into the tower first, and I will answer the doubts in your hearts little by little." ”

With that, he turned and pushed open the door of the tower and walked straight in.

This seven-story tower, Qi Tian and Erhu have never been in before, when they first came, the two of them moved a lot of minds to see what was going on, but every time they were thrown out of Lingwenju by Mr. Gao, and then after a long time, the two never moved their minds to go in.

The two of them were in a trance for a moment, looking at the open tower door and feeling a little unreal.

Qi Tian clenched his fists and pulled Erhu, who was still hesitating, into the tower.

As soon as he entered the tower, Qi Tian was dazzled, the tower said that it was seven floors but it was a hollow building, as if it was a hollow cylinder, there were no lighting appliances in the whole tower, but it exuded a soft light, the ground and the wall were depicted with extremely mysterious words and lines, and the top of the tower was suspended with a ball that flashed blue light from time to time, and if you looked closely, it seemed like a deep eyeball that seemed to be able to suck people in.

Staring at these patterns, Qi Tian only felt dizzy for a while, and there was a faint throbbing in his body, as if his body had become one with this tower, and his originally thin body seemed to be inflated, and he actually flew up slowly, and his body was also glowing with a little fluorescent light like Mr. Gao, and a blue ink-colored swirling air mass was faintly visible in his abdomen.

Seeing Qi Tian's changes, Erhu hurriedly pulled it with his hand, but suddenly, his already thick body looked even more powerful and tall, and the tattoos on his body actually had some connection with the lines drawn on the wall, the muscles on his body bulged high and full of explosive power, and there was a black airflow around his body.

Almost at the same time, the two of them fainted with a muffled snort.

As time passed, the changes between the two did not stop, but became more surging.

Mr. Gao stared at the two of them tightly, nodding from time to time, as if he was quite satisfied with their situation.

.....................

Inside the tower

"Whew... My head hurts" slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, Qi Tian shook his head and found that he was still in the tower, while Mr. Gao and Erhu were sitting cross-legged beside him and whispering something from time to time, but Erhu's dark and resolute face showed a look of struggle and hesitation from time to time.

Qi Tian was in a trance, in his memory, his tiger brother had never shown such a look, no matter how difficult and bitter it was, Qi Tian had to listen carefully with his ears.

Suddenly, Mr. Gao smiled and patted Qi Tian lightly: "Qi boy, get up when he wakes up, why are you eavesdropping with your ears pricked up." ”

"Ahem, how does the sir know I'm awake, what's wrong with me? I remember..."

"Boy Qi, you and Erhu have both awakened the cyclone, and I already told you yesterday. Before Qi Tian finished speaking, Mr. Gao's extremely serious voice came.

Mr. Gao's expression was serious at the moment, and he looked at the two of them with some helplessness and apology: "I wanted to make it clear to you that you are willing to awaken the cyclone again, but after you entered the Qi Master Tower, you actually awakened on your own, and in desperation, I had to wait for you to open the cyclone to complete the awakening, but it really surprised me that you were able to awaken on your own." ”

Qi Tian heard that he had awakened and could not care to listen to what Mr. Gao said, compared to the hesitation and struggle of the second tiger, Qi Tian was happy, and he was busy seeing what changes in his body.

"This kid is interested. Mr. Gao shook his head and looked at Erhu who was frowning sadly, and said slowly: "Erhu, what you said before, I already understand, it's just that the boy has ambitions in all directions, and now you and Qi Xiaozi have taken the first step, if you are afraid of the outside world, wouldn't it be a pity to have your talent, and the cyclone that Qi Xiaozi awakened seems to be very unusual." ”

Erhu looked at Qi Tian, who was overjoyed, sighed and muttered: "Sir, I and Xiaotian are in Cangshan when we are young, although we are not good, but we can live, I heard from the past merchants that the outside is not as good as Cangshan, it will eat people, I, I only hope that Xiaotian can live in peace." ”

Mr. Gao sighed and wanted to say something more, thinking that he had to talk about these two tigers before, he was reluctant to do so.

Looking at Qi Tian's strength, Mr. Gao twisted his beard and beckoned to Qi Tian: "Boy Qi, come here, let me see what cyclone you have awakened." ”

Qi Tian immediately ran forward when he heard this, and Mr. Gao pretended to be the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in Zhenxi, and gave Qi Tian a pulse of some eagerness, and his mouth was not idle: " Qi boy, you are amazing, Mr. Gang, I looked at your golden light flashing, and a blue and ink-colored cyclone surrounded the waist and abdomen, it must be a cyclone of the wind attribute, you must know that the wind attribute of the qi master can resist the wind, fly freely between heaven and earth, and can summon the wind to gather the wind blade to kill the enemy thousands of miles away, it can be described as a heroic dry cloud, just now I also told Huzi, just then I will tell you about this qi master. ”

Erhu listened to Mr. Gao's words on the side, and suddenly his mouth was bitter, where is this to see what Qi Tian has awakened, it is clearly to pour ecstasy soup for Qi Tian, where can this Qi Tian withstand such coaxing.

Since the two of them were together, Erhu knew that he didn't like to use his brains, he had always listened to Qi Tian, he pointed where to fight, and what Mr. Gao said to them yesterday, Erhu didn't yearn for it in his heart. But he was afraid! The old man who adopted them when he was a child often said: The outside world will eat people. These words were deeply imprinted in the depths of his young heart. In addition, what the merchants who came to say made him feel a lot of fear in his heart, but there was also a trace of yearning.

He exhaled gloomily, Erhu was also very depressed in his heart, and young people had a momentum, but it was not so easy to eliminate the imprint since he was a child, but what Mr. Gao said made his heart fluctuate, and his life experience seemed to be related to Beishuo Prefecture in the far north.

In addition to what Mr. Gao said yesterday, after awakening today, Mr. Gao told in detail about the existence of the Qi Master.

The domain of Hengtian, pay attention to refining qi and seeking the source, the cultivation of qi can be said to have developed to the extreme, and the qi master is both a profession and a class, the qi master has a qi master association, and the school set up by the qi master association recruits and recommends, and then the major branches will hold a very strict qi master assessment every three years, and those who pass the assessment will get the star card issued by the qi master association, so as to become a real qi master. Then you need to choose the direction of development to the Qi Master Association, so as to fulfill the responsibilities and tasks of being a Qi Master, and of course, the treatment you enjoy after becoming a Qi Master will also be improved according to the level of the Qi Master.

However, the classification of Qi Masters is basically divided into Martial Master, Qi Master, Atmospheric Master, Qi Sect, Qi Monarch and Sage level. On this basis, the Dongzhou Qi Master Association will be awarded star ratings according to contributions, with a total of seven stars, and various privileges can be obtained in the Dongzhou Qi Master Association.

The cyclone after the awakening of the qi master is different, although the attributes are the same, but the derived abilities are not the same, such as the same fire attribute qi, some people can control the flame to change, some people attach the flame gas attribute to weapons and fists to fight, and even some people can turn gas into a specific thing, in which the means have their own merits.

Erhu touched the tattoo on his body, the tattoo lines after awakening the cyclone are even more vivid, this tattoo has been there since he can remember, when he was a child, he asked the old man who adopted them what this tattoo was, tattooed to scare people?

The old man who adopted them at that time stared at him and said word by word: "This is what your mother gave you, and one day you will know." ”

"What day?"

"Get out of here and go outside. ”

Just as Erhu was hesitating when he recalled the past, he heard Mr. Gao's voice rise sharply: "You know, when a mediocre person is simple, there are too many people who choose to retreat in the face of the unknown, but it is precisely because of the charm of the unknown that it is like a masked beauty, which makes countless people crazy for a look, and we should not be afraid of the unknown." ”

"Hey..."Looking at Qi Tian's excited appearance, Erhu sighed deeply, his mouth almost opened, and finally spoke: "Sir, when is the Qi Master assessment this time, you are right, you can't miss Xiaotian's future." ”

"Brother Huzi!"

"Okay, that's how it should be, there is still half a year to go, Fengyun City will conduct a qi master assessment, although you have awakened the cyclone, but you have not been recognized by the association for a day, you can't even be called a martial artist. Mr. Gao twisted his beard and said loudly.

"Half a year so fast?" Qi Tian replied in surprise with a stunned face. Half a year is not a long time, but it is not a short time, he and Erhu have not undergone systematic training like those martial arts boys before, even if they are really gifted and awaken the cyclone, they will not use it, just like a child with a giant heavy sword, he can't swing it at all in his hand.

If you don't have enough ability, then it is impossible to pass the assessment of the Qi Master Association, then you will have to wait for another three years, and the most golden time will be missed.

Mr. Gao said confidently: "That's right, it's only half a year, so it's still urgent, but everything is possible, so I'll make a special training plan for you two boys." ”

"Special training?" The two of them glanced at each other, and they both thought in their hearts, I'm afraid this Mr. Gao had already premeditated. Those two people have long been seen cultivating in picture books?

At a glance, Mr. Gao saw the thoughts in his two hearts and said quite complacently: "You two clever boys, although you have never refined your body, but you have been under my nose for three years, and there is a faint momentum in your body, how can you hide it from me? If I don't awaken you in these three days, I am afraid that you will be supported to death by the cyclone in your body." ”

After a moment of silence, he continued: "I have also secretly observed you, and the body refining method in your hands seems to be that of the Wind Clan of the Deer tribe in the Southern Regions... But it's a little different, no matter what, the old man who adopted you is definitely not an ordinary person, and the one who can take out the hair of the spirit beast in the Southern Regions to make a book must be a character with a background, you need to keep this thing safe, and you are not allowed to mention or use it in front of anyone in the future. ”

"Write it down, sir," Qi Tian puffed up his chest and touched the animal skin tied around his waist in a mouthful of promises.

Mr. Gao nodded, closed his eyes and waved: "You guys go back first, don't go to the town to show off, you can't swagger for the time being, come over tomorrow or today." ”

Qi Tian and Erhu responded seriously, saluted Mr. Gao, and went out of the academy with great excitement.
