Chapter 1 Luca Rossi
A small village next to Venice in continental Europe, Republic of Venice.
The village has no name, it is attached to the city of Venice, and its name depends on the sea and eats on the sea, and it lives by fishing, and there are also workers who go to work in the Venetian shipyard for a small salary. Boats are an important means of transportation in this village, and they are needed to go to sea and travel on weekdays. But the village is very small, and most of them are sampans, so two or three people can go out to sea with their nets.
Not far from the village, about 50 kilometers away, is the famous city of Venice, which is the political, economic, cultural and trade center of the Adriatic Sea, and an important economic pillar is the trading of pepper and other spices. Venice monopolized the pepper trade with Alexandria and for centuries monopolized trade in the Mediterranean. Venice's trading fleet roamed the Mediterranean seas, and red flags flooded the coastal ports.
Explorers from many other countries have had to steer their ships and travel to the depths of the distant oceans to find routes to and from the East, but few returned.
Of course, there are also many outlaws who have made a living as pirates, robbing passing merchant ships, and thus obtaining huge profits.
As soon as the sky was bright, a faint white of fish belly rose in the east, and on a hill next to the village, there was already an agile figure.
It was a teenager who was only 12 years old, and apparently, he was constantly exposed to the warmth of the sun, and his skin had a healthy wheat color. The short black hair that is unusual for ordinary people looks neat and neat, and the clothes are simple but clean.
For others, it is a very laborious thing to climb the hill quickly, but for him, it seems to be at ease, his face is not red and he is not panting, and he looks at ease.
The boy sits on the top of the mountain, pranayama luck. Inhale slowly through the nose and exhale slowly out of the mouth, inhaling softly and exhaling slightly, as if it is a wonderful cycle.
At this moment, the young man sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly exhaled, alternating his hands, and drew a perfect gossip on his chest. If he is seen by outsiders, he will not be able to understand his actions. The youthful breath sank into the dantian, and suddenly two breaths, one yin and one yang, were separated from the dantian, and passed on the palms.
"Hey" The young man burst into a shout, and slapped his palms on the boulder in front of him at the same time, and suddenly, the boulder seemed to be shaken and trembled, and a lot of rubble was scattered down. What's even more strange is that the place where the left palm is slapped has not changed, but the stone surface of the right palm has cracked. But at this time, if someone cuts open the stone face on the left, they will be surprised to find that the stone is already full of fine cracks.
Sighing, the young man made a helpless expression that was just like that of a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, he shook his head and said to himself: "It's still not good, I've been cultivating this yin and yang technique for six years, and for a full six years, I still stay at the first layer, and I can't advance an inch." Even if there are many ghosts, or the muscles and bones are broken, they are always improving. When I first got this exercise, I had only been practicing for a short time, but I didn't expect it to be like this after six years. There are a total of ten Yin and Yang Formulas, why is this first layer so difficult?"
It's been twelve years since I came here, and the young man in front of me is Nangong Yu, who decided to jump off the cliff at the beginning. When he woke up from his coma, he found that he could do nothing but warm the accident. But the expected death did not come, and soon, he came into this world by a kind of squeezing.
Nangong Yu had been confused and confused, and it wasn't until a long time later that he realized that he had continued his life in another way.
Four years after he was born, Nangong Yu slowly learned the language here, and he could speak, because of this, he was mercilessly ridiculed by the people in the same village, and the villagers thought that the child had a bad brain, and the language here was very strange, with only two syllables, which were spliced together by a string of countless earthworm-like symbols that he couldn't understand. What's even more strange is that there are many types of these symbols, and it took Nangong Yu a long time to gradually master all listening, speaking, reading and writing.
He still remembered that when he was born, although his eyes couldn't be opened, when Nangong Yu mastered the language here, with his memory, he could only remember that he heard a hoarse voice crying out heartbreakingly, dear, don't leave me. And that person is his father in this world - Alex Rossi. And his mother in this world, who had just given birth to him, had already died in childbirth. And Nangong Yu has a brand new name in this world, but it is very strange for him - Luca Rossi.
Because Nangong Yu spoke late, children of the same age in the same village often made fun of him and scolded him for being a fool. But Nangong Yu didn't care at all, after all, he was now over forty years old in his heart, and he didn't care about these children at all.
When he first came here, Nangong Yu was surprised and frightened at first, and then slowly became excited and now calm, Nangong Yu has fully accepted the reality, in its opinion, God has given him another chance to start his life again, a life that truly belongs to him.
Although he came to this strange world, Nangong Yu has the greatest wealth, and that is memory. As the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty, martial arts cultivation methods and other things that ordinary people can't touch have been deeply imprinted in his mind. Including the secret book that he got at the end of his previous life, he was also deeply imprinted in his heart in the process of cultivating before. Nangong Yu hopes that in this life, he can successfully cultivate the "Yin and Yang Jue" that he dreamed of at the beginning.
"It's time to go back. Nangong Yu looked at the sky, at this time the sky tended to be bright, cloudless, and the sea breeze was slight. The sturdy body rose into the air and ran down the mountain. If someone sees him at this time, they will be surprised to close their mouths, every step he takes out, not in a straight line, but in a strange step, moving left and right, and there is no sound, but the speed is not slow at all, and there are many phantoms between his feet, and it is difficult to distinguish between the left and right. The potholed road surface between the mountains was not affected by him in the slightest, high and low, left and right, and when the speed was fast, it seemed to separate two afterimages, advancing alternately, extremely ghostly.
This is also the light skill he cultivated in his previous life, and it is said that it is light skill, but it is not used to hurry. On the contrary, he is much slower than the real light skill, but he is better at being unpredictable, and he is used to avoid enemy attacks. Why Nangong Yu can become the commander of the Jinyi Guard is because he is the world's best in the world, as well as this unpredictable light skill, this light skill is called "ghost shadow", because it spreads out like a ghost, silent, so it is named. If it weren't for the fact that he got the "Yin and Yang Formula" by chance, perhaps, Nangong Yu would not have caused the disaster of killing.
Yin and Yang are the inner strength of the heart, one move and one style contain the two forces of yin and yang, yin energy is soft energy, specifically injuring the enemy's viscera, qi and blood, the middle will not die instantly, but will slowly lose the function of internal organs in pain, extremely painful. Yang Jin is the strength of the fierce, splitting mountains and gravel, invincible. And the yin and yang formula is to make people cultivate two kinds of strength, which makes people unpredictable. Nangong Yu practiced this move in order to capture the enemy alive, so that the enemy would lose all the ability to resist in an instant, but not to death, so that it was convenient to take it back for slow interrogation. Light Gong "Ghost Shadow", the purpose is to kill with one move, just imagine, the enemy can distinguish his own position, as long as he is close, the blade in his palm cuts his throat, he can die. At that time, it was known as the Qinglong Double Peer, and everyone in the world was shocked when they heard it.
Nangong Yu has been laying a foundation for himself since he was one year old, and without a solid foundation, no matter how peculiar your exercises are, you will not be able to play them to the fullest. Although Jinyiwei's training was very painful, it has to be said that the effect was very good. When he was six years old, the meridians of the whole body were fixed, and Nangong Yu began to practice the Yin and Yang formula. At this time, in addition to the yin and yang tricks, the division of tendons and bones and ghosts can be said to have been slightly successful.
Nangong Yu's current family lives on the west side of the village, at the end of the village, two adobe houses and a small courtyard are considered relatively simple in the village. There was a fishing net in the middle of the yard, but it looked like it would be useless for two or three days. Nangong Yu's father is also a fisherman.
Here, the richest were the aristocracy, who gained great wealth through exploitation and trading. Secondly, there are some merchants, and of course merchants are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. The rest, except for serfs, are ordinary civilians like Nangong Yu's father, who make a living by fishing or hard work.
However, the village is close to the sea, and there are so many creatures in the sea, as long as you are diligent, the family can still live, but Nangong Yu's family is very poor, and it can be said that they are poor. The meager income from fishing has long been used by Nangong Yu's father to buy wine and drink.
Nangong Yu only had him and his father in the house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, a smell of rice came to his nose, which was not made by his father, but made by Nangong Yu for his father.
Since the age of five, when Nangong Yu had just learned the language here, he began to cook for himself. It wasn't his father's request, but if he didn't do it himself, he basically didn't have enough to eat.
Coming to the stove, Nangong Yu skillfully opened the lid of the pot, the pungent seafood porridge had already been stewed, although it was seafood porridge, but there was only rice and some crabs in the pot.
Every morning before going out to practice, Nangong Yu would put the rice in the pot and make firewood, and when he came back, he could eat it.
Picking up the bowl next to the stove, which already had many gaps, Nangong Yu carefully put on two bowls of porridge and placed them on the wooden table next to him. The table was tattered, but barely enough to support the dishes.
Nangong Yu shouted to the house: "Dad, it's time to eat." ”
After a while, the door to the room was opened, and a tall figure snorted out with staggering steps. It was a middle-aged man, who looked to be about fifty years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a burly build, just sloppy and unkempt.
The torn clothes were worn on the body, and there were not even patches on them, revealing the fair skin underneath, the originally handsome facial features were twisted together, the sleepy eyes were hazy, the hair was messy, the beard on the face had not been shaved for I don't know how long, and the eyes were dull and dim. This is Nangong Yu's father in this life - Alex Rossi.
But to the surprise of the people here, Alex is blonde and fair-skinned. Nangong Yu, or Luca Rossi, is black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned, and he is much older than his peers when he can speak, so the people in the village have always called them the devil's family. Coupled with the fact that Alex was drunk and dreaming all day long, gradually the people in the village were very disgusted with them.
For Nangong Yu's previous life, he didn't know what family affection was, and he had never had family affection. Yes, it's just endless training, or torture. Although Alex almost didn't care about him in this life, Nangong Yu had no complaints, after all, this was his father.
The family shouldn't have been so poor, because Alex spent almost all of his money on drinking alcohol, so there were only a few broken tables and beds in the house, just enough for the two of them to spend the night. It's not so much a home, but a sleeping nest, some people laugh at Nangong Yu, saying that the pig nest is neater than Nangong Yu's house.
Nangong Yu didn't care at all, but respected his father very much, and he was a human being in two lives, which made Nangong Yu feel for the first time that he could call his father happily.
Alex staggered to the table, grabbed the bowl on the table, and was not afraid of burning his mouth, and poured the porridge into his mouth in a big gulp, and the warm porridge went down to his stomach, which made Alex's face look a little better.
Nangong Yu himself also took a bowl of porridge and drank it, and the hot seafood porridge slowly slid into his stomach.
In his previous life, Nangong Yu was born and died, how many tribulations he went through, in this life, he was reincarnated as a human, although he was ridiculed, but for Nangong Yu, there was nothing he couldn't bear.
Soon, most of the porridge had fallen into Alex's stomach, he sighed slowly, glanced at Nangong Yu, and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can go out to sea to fish, the net is there, and I will go back to sleep for a while." ”
Alex is like this every day, drinking at night, sleeping during the day, occasionally taking Nangong Yu out to sea to fish, and still drunk after coming back to exchange money. Alex stood up, as if the reason for his breakfast, and his body was not shaking, yawned, and walked towards the house.
"Dad. Nangong Yu suddenly shouted.
Alex looked back at Nangong Yu and said, "What's the matter?"
Nangong Yu continued: "Can I go with Marco today to fish in the sea near Trieste, I heard that there are a lot of fat fish there. ”
Alex: "Hmm?!Are you going that far??Go early and come back early, don't forget to come back and cook." ”
Nangong Yu said, "Got it, Dad." ”
Alex thought for a moment, then said, "Stay safe. ”
The rare care makes Nangong Yu's heart very warm, for ordinary people, such words are said almost every day, but for Nangong Yu, it is very rare. In fact, Nangong Yu is very satisfied with the current life, the grievances of the rivers and lakes in the past, you live and die no longer exist, although the life here is poor, but it is calm and peaceful.
