Prologue V. Orphans
"That guy ......" After stepping out of the ring, Liu Feng's mind was full of pictures of the young man. www.biquge.info"Why, from his fist, I felt no less than the power of the fourth order?" "You know, in Fang Cai's competition, the first blow may be a little merciful, but with the strength that he just broke through the sixth order a few days ago, he just knocked the opponent away. Even so, the second blow was delivered with all his might by himself, who was a little angry at the time. However, the boy was only spitting blood, and if it wasn't for the mental blow, he might still be alive.
"Star Feather ......" Liu Feng silently read the name, "If he can cultivate, it will be terrifying......"
……
Inside the official mansion of Meteor Town, the cabinet of the organs.
The area leading to here is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Meteor Town, not only are there officers and soldiers patrolling all day long, but there are layers of true qi barriers established by the town's masters inside, and there are several mysterious masters hidden nearby, always sensing the breath of everyone nearby. There has only been one theft in the nearly fifty years since the construction of the Pavilion, and the thieves were killed shortly after they were killed, and it seems that they have not even been able to escape from the government area.
"It should be here."
Xing Yu looked at the stacks of firewood piled up in front of him, the wood had rotted and became a little soft due to the long-term placement. Slowly peeling off part of the firewood, a "dog hole" that was originally stacked next to an earthen wall gradually revealed a less conspicuous "dog hole".
Xing Yu looked at the hole, did not hesitate, bent down and drilled inside. "Hmm...... It's really crowded. Why is the entrance so small? Xingyu squeezed into it with all his might, and only then did he barely get his whole body into it. At this time, in front of his eyes, a dark and narrow passage could be seen through the faint light. Little by little, Xingyu groped his way forward.
"From here, you can go directly to the Pavilion." Xing Yu thought to himself. This passage was discovered by accident when he was a child playing hide and seek with his friends, and he climbed into it curiously as a young child, only to be surprised to find it inside the cabinet by the guards of the Cabinet. The guards just thought they were young and ignorant and ran around, so they sent Xingyu home, as for why they didn't find Xingyu in advance, it was because Xingyu's body was too small to attract attention, and it happened that there were no valuables in the cabinet at that time, and it was open, so the guards didn't take that situation seriously.
Starting with the earthen wall of a house, the inside of the wall is cut out for an adult to climb through, and after several turns and recourse, it finally connects to the outer wall of the government, then to the inner wall, and finally directly to the back wall of the cabinet. Due to the limited financial resources during the construction of the Cabinet of Organs, in order to save financial resources, the builders merged the rear part of the Cabinet with the internal wall of the government, and the materials used to build the walls were also ordinary mud bricks, which provided the possibility for the predecessors to dig such a narrow passage.
"Even so," Xing Yu thought to himself, if he wanted to dig it all out, not to mention the difficulty of it and the intricate relationship between the locations, it would take more than ten years to dig it day and night. Maybe it will be a lot easier for those who can cultivate, but even that is enough to shock people.
"There has only been one theft in fifty years, and the theft has failed." Xing Yu thought to himself. He had reason to believe that the thieves had followed this passage to the Pavilion to steal!
I don't know how long it took to climb, but in Xing Yu's field of vision, a little light finally appeared in front of the originally pitch black. Crawling forward a little further, a silent scene of the secret room appeared in front of Xing Yu, there was no true qi barrier in the secret room as Xing Yu imagined, maybe the people of the government were completely at ease with the secret room, so all the security forces were arranged outside to prevent outsiders from entering. It's just that they never dreamed that there would be such a passage! Crawling out of the passage, Xingyu found that there was a cabinet less than a meter in front of him that almost completely obscured the view of the secret room, perhaps this is why the guards did not find the hole. Xing Yu looked around, only to see a blood-red box on the stone table in the center, shining with a strange light in Xing Yu's eyes......
"Report to your Excellency, please conduct a daily review!" Outside the official mansion, a guard said respectfully to a white-haired old man. "Well, then take me to the Cabinet first." The old man nodded, and followed the guard in the direction of the Pavilion. "I have to waste so much time every day to come to review, and I have to deign to live in this shabby town, but the adults have no complaints, and the villains admire them very much." The guard in front looked back and smiled, looking at his flattering appearance, as if he wanted to slap the old man.
"It's okay, it's much harder for you to stand here all day than the old man." The old man waved his hand and said. "It's not hard, it's not hard!" The guard hurriedly replied, "This is our job, and we should do our duty!" ”
"Hmm." The old man nodded, "The Pavilion is so heavily guarded, there must be no thieves committing crimes." "Of course!" The guard said proudly, "The Pavilion hasn't been stolen in fifty years, and besides, with us, not even a fly will want to fly in!" The words fell, and they had already arrived at the door of the Pavilion. Alright, open the door. The old man said. Be! The guard quickly took out a key to open the door, and bent down and bowed, "Please!" ”
The old man stopped talking, stepped into it, looked around and suddenly frowned.
"Where did you put the blood ginseng?" The old man asked. "It's on the stone table in the center!" The guard replied. "Really?" The old man sneered, "Then please come over and bring me the blood spirit ginseng on the stone table!" "Huh?" Raising his head a little strangely, the guard looked towards the stone table, and the look on his face was instantly replaced by horror, "How come, the blood spirit ginseng is gone?" Obviously it should be here......" said the guard, trying to go inside and look for it.
"Rubbish!" The guard was frightened by an angry reprimand, and fell to his knees with weak legs, his head against the ground, not daring to say anything at all. "It's just to protect the blood spirit ginseng, what do you want!" The old man said angrily, "Hurry up and gather the people, and then find someone to beat fifty boards yourself, don't let me see you again!" "Ah, yes!" The guard hurriedly replied and fled from here, sweat running down his forehead. He knew what the consequences of making the old man angry, and punishing himself like this today was considered light, and if it was really serious, he would have nothing to say about killing himself!
The loud horn sound of "......" resounded throughout the official mansion, and for a while, the crowd surged, and almost all the guard forces rushed in the direction of the pavilion. For a while, the official palace was filled with an aura of slaughter, and the neat queues seemed to be the army about to rush to the battlefield. At this time, the cabinet of the organ ......
The white-haired old man paced through the open chamber, turned his head, and glanced at the entrance. "No, except for the old man and the stupid man, there is no smell of others, and there is no trace of weirdness. But if the thief didn't come in through the entrance......" Suddenly thinking of something, the old man walked around to the back of the stone table, looked down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a slight arc, "Sure enough, ......" On the smooth floor, a slip of sand and the surrounding neat environment seemed particularly incommensurate, the old man looked along the sand, the sand turned around a cabinet, and the old man hurriedly went around to the back of the cabinet. I saw that on the wall behind me, a hole that was not big or small appeared in front of the old man's eyes.
……
"Bang dang!" The wooden door was opened in an instant, and a young figure rushed into the room like the wind. "Sister, I'm back!" The door opened, and Xing Yu said excitedly to the girl lying on the bed with a blood-red spirit ginseng in both hands.
"Sister, I got the blood ginseng!" Xing Yu said excitedly.
However, Xingyue did not answer.
"Sister, don't sleep, cheer up, you'll ......be fine right away" Walking to Xingyue's side, Xing Yu grabbed her right hand with some excitement, however, what he touched was the coldness of his hand.
"Ahh A frightened voice sounded, Xing Yu sat on the ground, stared at the girl on the bed with her eyes closed, and after a long time, she stood up tremblingly, and her trembling hands gradually reached the girl's nostrils......
"Smack." The blood ginseng fell from his hand and fell to the ground, causing the beard on the ginseng to glow with a slight blood-colored glow.
The boy knelt in front of the bed, holding the girl's cold hands, just quietly, motionless, the world in the room seemed to be completely static, making people unable to feel the flow of air, the temperature and the breath of life...... After a long time, the young man began to muttered to himself: "Sister, didn't I say, I will definitely save you within fifteen days, today is only the tenth day, why are you leaving in such a hurry...... Uncle is really, he obviously said that he would let my sister live until the fifteenth day, why didn't he do it......" Picking up the blood ginseng, Xing Yu stood up and turned around and walked in the direction of the old man's kitchen. A moment later, the sound of kitchen knives slashing could be heard in the kitchen.
Finding a piece of cloth to wrap the blood-colored powder in front of him, Xingyu put it away, returned to the room and picked up Xingyue, and then walked out of the courtyard and walked in the direction of the outside of the town.
In a meadow outside the town, a large tree swayed its leaves in the bright sunshine in the breeze. Xingyu came to the tree, put Xingyue aside, and took out the shovel he had brought with him, leaned down and began to dig. One shovel, another shovel, and before you know it, half a day has passed.
Stopped shoveling the soil, threw away the shovel, the boy hugged the girl's body on the side, and just about to take out the piece of fabric on his body, the palm of the boy's hand touching the girl's leg suddenly felt a little bulging. The boy reached into the pocket of the girl's pants and found a piece of white paper that had been folded in half, which was still brand new, and the boy spread it out, only to see ten large characters clearly printed on it: Imperial Engineering College Admission Certificate.
The boy put away the paper with a blank face, took out the previous piece of cloth, and gradually sprinkled the blood-red powder on the wound on the girl's chest. Then the boy gently placed the girl in a small rectangular pit that had just been dug, and the pit was just the size of the pit to accommodate the girl's body, no more, no less.
Looking at the remaining powder on the cloth in his hand, the boy looked at the girl in the pit, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the blood-red powder flew in the air like snowflakes, gradually covering the girl's whole body. The boy gave the girl one last look, lowered his body, and began to cover the pit with the dirt he had dug up.
Presently the boy stood up and looked around the land. Except for a small area in front of the tree, which is not covered with herbs, the rest of the area is the same as the surrounding area.
"Sister, the sky is so blue today!" A little boy and a little girl lay side by side on the grass, admiring the blue sky. "Hmm." The little girl replied, "The weather is nice today." "Sister, let me ask you a question." After a while, the little boy suddenly turned his head to look at his sister and asked. "What's the problem, let's talk about it." My sister still looked at the sky and said casually. "You say, can the most powerful heroes control the sky?" The younger brother said quickly, his voice full of curiosity. "Take control of the skies?" My sister raised her eyebrows a little strangely. "It's the best!" The younger brother hurriedly reminded. "Hmm...... Maybe, after all, the world is so big, and the strength of a peerless master must be immeasurable. But if that's the case, isn't this world his, war and peace are only in his thoughts, and it feels a little scary to think about. My sister thought about it and said. yes, I don't think it's scary. The younger brother replied, "If only I could control the sky...... The elder sister turned her head and saw the younger brother raising his hand high into the blue sky, his fists gradually clenched, and his eyes were full of antiquity. "Hmm." My sister responded, "Xiao Yu will definitely be able to." At this moment, the image of the little boy shone with a strange brilliance in her eyes.
Xingyu looked at the sky, the sky was still so blue, and a few white clouds floated leisurely, unrestrained, unrestrained by the mortal world. Just like when I was a child. When I think about it now, everything feels so good.
Perhaps, only when you lose can you know how to cherish it.
As for dealing with the matter of blood spirit ginseng, he didn't know why he did this, if he returned the blood spirit ginseng, at his age, maybe it would just be a beating, if someone pleaded, no matter how lucky he was, he would be scolded, but judging from the current results, once he was caught, even if he was only fourteen years old, he was likely to be sentenced to death! After all, a spiritual object like Blood Spirit Ginseng was too rare, and his current life was far less than its value.
Turning around, Star Feather turned his head to take one last look at the small piece of flat land in front of the big tree, then turned his head and walked in the direction farther away from Meteor Town. Now he is a homeless orphan with no relatives and no home. "Wait......" The original pace of progress suddenly stopped, Xing Yu thought of something, and looked back at the town in the distance, his face full of hesitation. There is one thing that requires him to return to Meteor Town again, although it will be dealt with soon, but for him now, it is undoubtedly equivalent to returning to the wolf's lair, which is extremely dangerous. But......
Turning around, Xingyu made up his mind and walked in the direction of the town.
"Even if you get caught." Xingyu thought.
He had to go.
In order to avenge his parents and sister.
