The night is well understood, and the bright moon is like a hook, but Yang Ming did not feel sleepy at all, lying on the rocks by the lake, looking at the lonely night scene, looking indifferent.

The dormitory of Xiacai Academy is located in the southeast corner of Xiuwu Academy, it is a low wooden house, the place is remote, the environment is bleak, there is only a poor lake, it can be regarded as a landscape, but it is easy to meet it, in the face of the empty night, monotonous scenery, Yang Ming has also become accustomed to it, and he slowly likes it here.

"I must not leave the Martial Arts Academy. When he left the village, Yang Ming silently swore that he would definitely graduate from the Martial Arts Academy and make a name for himself.

Since seven years ago, King Jiang launched a new policy, all those who practice in the martial arts academy and successfully graduate, regardless of whether they are noble or low, will be awarded the qualification of the national soldier, you know, in the past, only the children of the nobles can be named the national soldier, once awarded the national soldier, you can enter the army, in the future on the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, worship the official, the noble, from now on the glory of the ancestors. For the poor, this new policy is the ladder for them to change their fate, or they can climb to the pinnacle of life, or they may be empty, whether it is the starting point of wealth or an empty dream, and the road of destiny is here.

Spread out the left hand that high-fived Liu Qianyu, and the bet of the day was like a sharp blade, piercing Yang Ming's heart with a knife. Staring at the night outside his fingers, Yang Ming bit his lower lip and said hoarsely: "Look at it, I will definitely be able to change my life." ”

"Do you want to be stronger?" a god-like voice rang out abruptly, long, ethereal, as if it was groaning in the distance, but it seemed to be whispering in the ear.

His face changed instantly, Yang Ming stood up suddenly, and glanced around, but he didn't find half a figure.

"Do you want to be stronger?" the voice rang out again.

"Who is pretending to be a ghost, to tell you, my Yang Ming is not scared. After confirming that it was not a hallucination, Yang Mingqiang suppressed the faint fear in his heart, locked his eyes into a line, and shouted loudly.

"It doesn't matter who I am, you just have to answer me, do you want to be stronger?" the voice was filled with an irresistible allure that forced you to answer his question.

"Of course I want to be stronger. Without hesitation, Yang Ming blurted out.

"Alright, the family contract begins. As the sound landed, something in the depths of Yang Ming's body suddenly burst like a hatching eggshell, and in an instant, a few traces of hot force were like sharp needles, and lightning drilled out from the depths of his heart, so crazy that Yang Ming's body couldn't help but twitch. In the next second, countless points of light burst out from Yang Ming's body, like a gushing spring, the light gathered more and more, gradually taking shape, and then, a transparent ghost-like figure of a man appeared in front of Yang Ming.

The moonlight shone from the shadows of the trees to the man's face, his white face in the bright light looked as delicate as a carving of ice and snow, but there was a lifelike black dragon ornament engraved on his left cheek, the black dragon was like a living thing, faintly gasping. Dressed in a strange white costume and wearing a short sword around his waist, he looks very luxurious. And his whole person was floating in mid-air in a slow and magical way at the moment, like clouds, setting him off more mysteriously, raising a pair of dark eyes like charm, like two stars, staring at Yang Ming's stunned little face, and the voice sounded again: "It seems that you are the heir of the family, it is really thanks to your desire to become stronger, I have appeared again." ”

Blinking his eyes, in the dark, Yang Ming felt that this person had an indescribable sense of intimacy and familiarity, so he forcibly held back the turmoil in his heart, held his breath, and asked, "Who are you, the heir of what family?"

"Don't be surprised, it seems that the qualifications of this generation of heirs are good. A relieved expression appeared on his gentle face, and he said softly, "I am Zuze, a servant who served your family thousands of years ago. ”

"Servant.?" Hearing this, Yang Ming was stunned, and after a while, his face suddenly became excited, "What family? Are you mistaken? I'm just an orphan." ”

Orphan, what a painful word, every night in the dead of night, Yang Ming once imagined who he was, and who were his parents? Are they still alive? And why did they abandon themselves? And how many times in his sleep, faintly saw two vague but warm shadows, whenever he wanted to see clearly, the dream suddenly woke up, leaving two lonely tears flowing down the corners of his eyes.

"Haha, people don't pop out of stones, people have parents and families, and you are the same. Zu Ze smiled slightly, obviously he was not surprised that Yang Ming would have such an expression.

"My family, do you know my background?" his eyes were full of longing, and Yang Ming couldn't stop the fluctuation in his heart and asked.

"Of course I know, once your family was a famous big clan in the Glorious Continent, but unfortunately it was defeated in that war, which is what is known in history as the "Battle of Great Unification", and then the family also fell. In order to revive the glory of the family for future generations, after the defeat, I was sealed in the bloodline of your family, so that I can continue with your family's bloodline to this day. It's a pity that in the long years, there are very few descendants of the family who can awaken me from the seal, counting this time, in the past thousand years, I have only awakened twice. And the last time, the person who woke me up was your father. The appearance of the handsome young man and such a heavy and old-fashioned speech seemed very incongruous, as if a scholar in his early twenties was speaking a serious old words, which was really awkward.

"My father?" Hearing this strange and long-awaited word, Yang Ming's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his voice trembled and asked, "Who is my father and where is he?"

Zu Ze's tone was slightly deep, and then he said slowly: "Your father and everything about the family, I can't tell you now, according to the family contract, the descendants of the family must complete the family mission before I can tell you all the truth about the family, including your father." ”

"Even if you can't know who my father is, why don't you let me know what my last name is?"

He was an orphan since he was a child, fortunately adopted by Yangjia Village, and later followed the surname of the village, the baby in the village has no name, I thought that I would live a life in the village without a name, who would have thought that one day half a year ago, I followed the old village chief into the city, when the Xiuwu Academy was recruiting students in the city, looking at the enrollment notice posted on the city wall, in the dark, he listened to a voice tempting himself, "Go, your life should not always be nameless." When he first adopted him, the old village chief faintly had a feeling that the child would not stay in the village forever, as the child grew up, this idea became stronger, he was not an honest child since he was a child, he was full of curiosity about everything, always chased after the old village chief and asked what it was like outside the village, when he knew that the old village chief had studied private school for several years and knew how to read and write, he was clamoring for the old village chief to teach him to read, and the children of his age were fishing in the river, or climbing trees at the head of the village to catch insects, but he sat quietly in the shade of the tree, reading a small book borrowed from nowhere, Even if it is a thin few pages of the book, he seems to have obtained a treasure, he sits so peacefully, and sometimes he will look to the sky outside the village, and this remote village seems so incompatible, until one day, he suddenly asked the old village chief about the origin of the mainland [Taiyao], asked about the national scholar, the old village chief can never forget, the hope and expectation on the child's face at that time.

The old village chief sighed, seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "You don't belong to the village, maybe this is your chance", and then took the teenager to the admissions office, and paid the registration fee with the money originally used to buy food seeds, but there must always be a name for registration, the old village chief thought for a while, and said to the young man with hope, ordinary people say, the goose has left a voice, the person has left a name, and those who have aspirations should not be nameless. The young man nodded heavily, not daring to live up to the old village chief's sustenance, in the later admission test, Yang Ming, a blockbuster, Wu Yao awakened to the sword heart image, Qili Chen Yao, can be described as a rare genius, successfully entered the martial arts academy, Yang Ming never dared to forget the name that the old village chief took for himself, but no matter how good the name is, it is not in his own surname.

"Family contract, descendants must complete the family mission before I can tell you all the truth about the family, which is also a test for you by the family. Zu Ze's tone was cold, as if he were mechanical.

"What kind of family mission is it?"

Looking at Yang Ming's eager gaze, Zu Ze's chest was slightly straightened, and there was a majesty in his voice: "Revive the glory of the family." ”

"How to do this, I'm just an ordinary student of the Martial Arts Academy now. And I don't even know about the family. Hearing this, Yang Ming pursed his lips, and his eyes secretly looked at Zu Ze who was floating in the air.

Zu Ze paused, but his tone was very indifferent, "I said, I can't tell you about the family now, I can only say that your family is far more powerful than you imagined, what kind of general, or what Jiang royal family, this kind of small family is not even an ant in front of your family." ”

The corners of Yang Ming's mouth twitched, listening to such a rampant tone, but he muttered in his heart: "The cowhide is blowing through the sky, the Jiang royal family is one of the dignified princes of the dynasty, and in his eyes it is not as good as an ant, how arrogant this guy is." ”

However, as soon as his thoughts turned, he thought that he was still ridiculed as a hillbilly from a poor background in the daytime, but now he was told that his family background was illustrious, such a earth-shaking change made Yang Ming sigh, "The noble and the poor are only temporary, thousands of years ago, the family was prominent, but now he is a commoner; ”

In the final analysis, life is actually a war, if you win, you are expensive, if you lose, you are poor, but there is more than one war, once you win or lose, you can't decide forever.

Zu Ze looked at Yang Ming's calm face and nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that twelve years of poor life have also honed your perseverance and maturity, poverty is strong, as the so-called bitterness comes to the end, I don't know how to know the sweetness of bitterness, your life was bitter before, therefore, you are more eager to change your fate than anyone else, and it is precisely because I feel your desire to become stronger that I will wake up from the seal." ”

"But what should we do to revive the glory of the family?" Yang Ming frowned slightly and said with a sigh.

"Jiang Xiaoguo in this area naturally can't do anything, you have to go to the center of the continent, under [Taiyao]. ”

"What are you kidding, it's the capital of the dynasty, and not everyone can go there. Yang Ming said with an incredulous expression, but deep down, why didn't he want to go to the center of the continent, under [Taiyao]?

Jiang State is located on the eastern edge of the continent, and its strength is the weakest among the vassal states, so the cultivation level of the Martial Arts Academy is not high, if you want to cultivate to a higher level, even Shinto, you can only go to the center of the continent, and the capital of the dynasty is "Muguang", which is a holy place that countless people yearn for.

Countless years ago, the [Taiyao] divine light descended on the center of the continent, and from this, the human race gained the light and transformed extraordinarily, after thousands of years, the cultivation became more and more complicated, but all changes did not deviate from its origin, and traced its origin, all contained in the [Taiyao] divine light. Being able to enter the center of the continent, the holy capital to "bathe in light", bathe in the [Taiyao] divine light and cultivate, is everyone's dream, and it has attracted the pursuit of countless strong people. However, the [Taiyao] divine light only shines on the outstanding people with outstanding talents, and the standard for judging talents is the only one in the mainland, the examination held every four years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is called "Heavenly Selection".

Since the beginning of the dynasty, "Heavenly Selection" has formed this system of grace, and only those who are selected are qualified to bathe in [Taiyao] Shenguang, but the selection conditions are extremely strict, the princes and countries in order to compete for the selection quota, the competition is very fierce, especially in the past ten years, the selected quota has basically fallen into the hands of the big countries, and the small countries are just cannon fodder in their competition, and so far, Jiang Guo, and only the genius Jiang Shaobai, who is known as a rare genius in a century, once participated in a natural selection, but it was also a feather back, the strong man of the big country outside, how perverted, people can't help but be frightened.

In the face of Yang Ming's worries and doubts, Zu Ze was very relaxed, "You are the descendant of the family, with the noble bloodline of the family flowing in your body, plus my assistance, how can you not go to [Taiyao]?"

Glancing at Zu Ze obliquely, Yang Ming was really a little suspicious. Pursing the corners of his mouth, Yang Ming asked softly, "Have you really been sealed in our bloodline for nearly a thousand years, how can people live for so long?"

"I'm a spiritual wizard, what's so difficult to let my will live for a thousand years?" Zu Ze casually revealed his identity, but it made Yang Ming's nerves tense suddenly, his body shook suddenly, and he took a deep breath. Although Yang Ming is only a twelve-year-old baby, he also knows what the identity of a wizard means to the Glorious Continent, which is the sorcery that manipulates all things and the wisdom that overrides all beings.

The so-called sorcerer is to internalize Wu Yao in the soul in the body, and by virtue of the fusion of Wu Yao and the soul, he can obtain powerful spiritual power, perform witchcraft, and apply his thoughts to people or things in the outside world, and can influence or control external objects.

There is a saying in the mainland, "the world's major events, in the worship and Rong", sacrifice and war, all are closely related to wizards and warriors, and the former can often determine the success or failure of the latter, for thousands of years, wizards have been playing the role of "auxiliaries", regardless of the clan, powerful countries, all those who are in high positions, there will be the shadow of wizards behind them, and because of their different abilities, their status is also different. Among them, the most common are medicine wizards, as the name suggests, they can refine all kinds of magical elixirs. On the other hand, the Linghui wizards are the rarest and most noble among the wizards, their wisdom is supreme, they can call the wind and rain, move mountains and land, and are the best candidates to assist in the great cause. There is a saying in the mainland that could not be more appropriate to describe the wizards of Linghui, "What they say will happen, and what they think will come true." ”

For many years, among millions of people, there will be a Psychic Wizard, and every Psychic Wizard born will be sought after by families from all over the world. And now, in front of Yang Ming, there is another Linghui wizard, Zu Ze, but he is still a servant who serves his family, although Yang Ming does not know how prominent his family was in the past, just to be able to get the assistance of a Linghui wizard, he can imagine how noble his family is.

Now Yang Ming can already understand everything Zu Ze said, never question the words of the Linghui Wizard in the Glorious Continent, this is common sense that even a three-year-old child knows.

Unable to hide the anticipation and ecstasy in his heart, Yang Ming couldn't wait to ask: "Since you are a Linghui wizard, then you must be able to use witchcraft to make me stronger." ”

Hearing this, Zu Ze smiled lightly, and said with some embarrassment: "In the past, I could indeed use witchcraft to allow you to gain unparalleled power overnight, but I have been sealed for too long, and witchcraft will also decay sharply with sleep, and now it has been exhausted. ”

His face was suddenly disappointed, and the ups and downs of his expression were very obvious on Yang Ming's face, Yang Ming was unwilling, and then asked, "Then how can you help me become stronger?"

Facing Yang Ming's questioning gaze, Zu Ze smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, I have a huge inheritance left to you by your family here, and this inheritance is enough to help you achieve great things." ”

"Inheritance?money?"

"It's not money, but it's more precious than money, and one of them is elephantism. ”
