Chapter 1: The Price of Humility

Next Chapter

Styx Continent, Bifeng Country, Yunbei City.

Outside the city, there were many people hunched over a river, walking in the shallows with homemade harpoons in both hands in the warm early summer, their eyes skimming back and forth on the water, for fear of missing something, and their expressions were slightly nervous.

Looking at the afternoon sky, the warmth is extraordinary, only the tireless river goes forward, sparkling, the afterglow is just right to dot this side of the water and soil, the vicissitudes of the earth show the glory and rise and fall of the past.

However, at this moment, the calm picture was broken, and the heart-wrenching howls were like the crow of a rooster in the morning.

"Help, there's a thunder crab, ah, ah, run. ”

"What? First-Order Demon Beast Thunder Pattern Crab?

After the civilians in the fishing operation scolded, they found that the bottom of the water fluctuated violently, and in a few breaths, they had already seen it not far away, and the first-order demon beast thunder pattern crab like a buffalo appeared, and they turned around decisively and ran away desperately, scattering in a hurry.

There was a burst of horses' hooves by the river in the distance, and it was the city guards of other cities galloping towards Yunbei City, seeing that the civilians were being chased and killed by demon beasts, they glanced coldly and continued to whip the horses to sit down, without any hesitation, fluttering like the wind.

Many teenagers and old people fled slowly, and when they saw the city guards appear, they just felt a turning point in their hearts, but the result was like this.

The life of the weak in this world is like a mustard, and no one will have mercy on the weak.

People with despair and helplessness in their eyes are about to die here, closing their eyes and waiting for the last moment of their lives.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion accompanied by the splashing of the river, forcefully forcing back the thunder crab with teeth and claws, it turned out to be the escort brought by the merchant who bought the bitter eel pearl oyster, these civilians are the way for these merchants to make money, so they died and there is one less way to buy in the future, which is any mercenary businessman, who does not want to see, so he has the move to save people.

Seeing a certain teenager who could survive and had just given up escaping, tears burst out of his eyes, and no one could experience the cathartic mood of escaping death, bitter and deep grief, heartbreaking.

"Survived, I survived, I survived?"

His lips trembled slightly, and the young man who repeated a sentence revealed a sense of perseverance on his face because of tears, and a sprout in his heart that wanted to become stronger, although it was only a prototype, it could change a person's life.

The Stygian Continent, advocating martial arts, respecting martial arts, there are many people who have practiced martial arts since childhood, but there are very few people who have stepped into the martial arts, but anyone who is lucky enough to step into the martial arts, even if they are the lowest-level martial artists, their lives will change greatly.

Yunbei City is located between three big rivers, since ancient times, all kinds of young talents have come out in large numbers, the name of Yunbei City comes from the specialty of this place, the bitter eel pearl oyster that grows in the river water, the pearl produced by the scallop of this fan-like size is of great benefit to the low-level warriors, so there are a large number of ordinary people to catch the bitter eel pearl oyster for a living.

After the tossing of the thunder crab just now, many civilians called it a day early and sold today's harvest to the merchants who came.

Among the civilians who supported each other, a lonely and emaciated teenager, wearing tattered clothes at will, his hands were empty and his head was bowed, and he entered Yunbei City with the flow of people, because of the thunder crab, there was no gain today, which meant that today's belly was going to starve.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw someone hanging out a pen. It reads: The sky is barren, the earth is broken, and all those who have fate are guests.

Curious passers-by couldn't figure out what the meaning of this poem was not like a poem? Moreover, the person who put up the pen was still a well-known local loser, the young master of the Wu family.

There are passers-by in a hurry, stop to watch, in short, there are not a few people who hunt for curiosity. At this time, a beggar-like boy passed by, stroking his belly, it was now afternoon, this little grunt belly had not yet entered a meter, and saw many people looking at one place, and heard someone say something loudly?

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, there are a lot of amazing and gorgeous people in our Yunbei City, I want to recruit a few people to go to Chixiao City with this young master to learn martial arts, and when I become a martial artist, I will be a good reward, I don't know who has the talent to recommend myself now?"

The little beggar hadn't opened meat for a day, and now he heard that he was going to recruit talents, and he still seemed to be very promising, and he was really hungry, so he didn't have time to think about it, and rushed forward with an arrow, but he accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.

Because he was so hungry, he hurriedly spoke

"Young master, no, no, genius, peerless genius young master, you choose me, choose me, I will have a lot of ways to survive in the wild, and my brain is also smart, young master, you choose me!"

Suddenly, this scene made the boy who claimed to be the most loser in the local area also flustered, what is the situation? What he is looking for is a talented person with cultivation strength, and this beggar thinks this is a singing opera?

The onlookers burst into laughter, thinking that this little beggar was very interesting, but he had come to the wrong place, and it was okay for him to go to the theater.

The little beggar is also a local person, named Qin Yi, 15 years old, his parents and the same village affectionately call him Yi'er, Qin Yi's parents because of the help of the same village, can live a harmonious and happy life, although it is a little bitter, but, the family is very warm. When she gave birth to Qin Yi, she took the name because she hoped that her child would grow up and be a loving and righteous person.

Qin Yi's parents had an accident when they went out hunting, leaving only the lonely Qin Yi, when the hunters in the same village brought back the corpses of Qin Yi's parents, the young heart that was hit by the blow, buried his parents in pain and suffering, and was too sad to accept the reality, and ran away from home, wandering on the streets of Yunbei City, living a life with a meal without a meal.

was driven away by a number of backwards, the little beggar Qin Yi was very helpless, it seems that he will not have good luck today, so he can only go to the wild to catch some small animals such as voles to fill his stomach.

I've been wandering in Yunbei City for nearly a year, and I know how to see people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when I see ghosts. I was hungry just now, and I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so I came forward and recommended myself, I have to say that there is a world of difference from the character of the village Mu Ne in the past.

Life is like this, it makes people understand what is bitter, what is sweet, what is hope and that boundless longing.

A lonely figure, the small hands on his shoulders hung down weakly, and his body staggered and walked out of the city.

"Little brother, wait. ”

A young man's voice came from behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was a rich boy who was not much different from his age, holding a fan in his right hand, dressed in luxurious white clothes, with a hungry face and a commensurate and tall figure, only a little white hair on his forehead was a little eye-catching, it could be said that he was dignified, but he didn't know why he wanted to stop Qin Yi?

Qin Yi, who didn't know why, scratched his head and asked in a low voice:

"I don't know what's going on with Childe? I don't seem to know Childe. ”

"Hehe, little brother, just now I saw that you were articulate and have good eyesight, why can't you see my intention?"

"Could it be that you also want to recruit some people to go to Chixiao City with you to learn martial arts?"

"Exactly, I'm a little bored going to Chixiao City, and I want to find someone who can speak well to relieve my boredom, I don't know what you think?"

"Really, great, Childe, I will, I have lived in the countryside since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of strange flowers and beasts, so I promise to relieve your boredom for Childe." ”

The two sides hit it off, and good luck always seems to be given to those who dare to take on failure, although just now he recommended himself bitterly, which not only caused ridicule from others, but also deeply stabbed his self-esteem. But compared to the benefits he has now, as a wandering beggar, he is already satisfied.

What's more, if you want to become stronger, you have to step out of Yunbei City, and today's encounter with fishing for bitter eel pearl oysters made Qin Yi understand one thing, that is, the humble price!

There is a saying called time to run, not the world is all desperate and frustrated, no, Qin Yi mustered up the courage for the first time to make the choice ushered in the spring.

"Little brother, this son and the little young master of the Wu family are not all the way, this son is a member of the Li family in Yunbei City, my name is Li Lantao, we are going to Luxu Valley to call a few friends now.

In addition, if you want, I can help convince a friend who has some friendship to accept you as a scholar, and you can also learn some basic martial arts knowledge, but you have to pass his level first. ”

Hearing these words, Qin Yi's heart once again set off a monstrous wave, not only did he have a stomach, but he could also touch the martial arts, and his dull expression fell into the eyes of this great benevolent man, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he waved the paper fan with satisfaction, and walked forward.

After taking Qin Yi to eat in the restaurant, he bought another set of clothes, and after washing, he revealed an equally handsome face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and strong muscles.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to change your outfit, and my son almost didn't recognize you. Well, yes, yes, let's go. ”

Qin Yi wore such a good cloth for the first time in his life, and he was praised, and his heart was filled with some confidence unique to a teenager, he was not tied up like before, and he opened the box when he spoke.

Now Qin Yi felt the slightest noble aura coming to him, this feeling was really good.

Crying with joy, turning joy into sorrow.

Embarrassment is often without warning, and is immersed in all kinds of fantasies and dreams of a bright future, Qin Yi is awakened by a discordant contemptuous voice.

"Hmph, a cheap life is a cheap life, even if you put on human skin, you can't get rid of it. ”

A coquettish girl, looking up and coming, seemed to be a sin to lower her head to look at Qin Yi.

Looking at this woman's green shirt and fine hair, extraordinary temperament, and pink delicate face, if it weren't for this temper and tongue, she might be one of the best beauties in the hearts of the teenagers in Yunbei City.

"Sister, why are you here? ”

When cold water is poured on the head, anyone will be angry, it can be seen that the words and deeds of the arrival person and Li Gongzi are very intimate, and they are also called sister.

Qin Yi clenched his fist, then let go of his hand again, and stepped forward to humbly hug his fist in greeting, as if what he said just now had nothing to do with him.

"It turned out to be Li Gongzi's sister, no wonder it is so gorgeous, a noble person must have a noble life, and it can't be the same as a cheap life like mine. Little brother Qin Yi, thanks to Li Gongzi's kind deeds, he is now what he is now, and the young lady is wise and knowledgeable, and admires it. ”

Qin Yi exerted his housekeeping skills learned by wandering and begging this year, although he was disgusted with what he said, however, he was full of bitterness at a young age, and he knew the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"It's just a few words, and I can still have the opportunity to contact martial arts in the future, but I can't be rash. ”

Seeing that Qin Yi understood the world very well, Li Gongzi showed a trace of reluctance on his face, and it seemed that it was not bad to let Qin Yi be a slave for himself, but this expression was only fleeting, shaking his fan, and he took his sister and the group to the Luxu Valley outside the city.
