Prologue The Heart Flows, Secretly Hurts the Mind Chapter 2 The Awakening Ritual
[Xiran: I wanted to live a peaceful and peaceful life, but I found that God had arranged everything for you, and it was doomed from the beginning, and you couldn't live your life peacefully. 】
"Ah, it turned out that our tide was here, and it was really the awakening ceremony that dared to be late, and I had to let the next person invite it, the shelf was quite big." Coming from Xi Ran's side, her words were very sharp, and there was a taste of mockery, the speaker was a girl in a red dress, with a high ponytail and contemptuous eyes, she was not a master to be messed with, she was Xuanzong's eldest daughter Xuan Lianna, a woman who would inherit the position of the suzerain in the future, and she was naturally hostile to this outsider Xi Ran.
"Fortunately, my shelf is not as big as yours, so I participated in a ceremony and brought so many servants, are you afraid that my life will be lost?" Shizome has always disliked others to provoke her, and since the two of them have been working against each other openly and secretly for so long, naturally Shizome will not let go of the opportunity to refute at this time.
"You!" Xuan Lianna wanted to say something more, but at this time, Sect Master Xuan Ze coughed a few times and was silent.
Sect Master Xuan Ze is already a middle-aged man who is about to enter old age, although there are many affairs, which makes him very tired, but he can still feel that he has strong strength, wearing a silver dress, wearing a silver crown, and there is still a bit of heroism between his eyebrows.
"Okay, today is the awakening ceremony of your star power, and I will briefly introduce the star power. It is the foundation of our cultivation, the higher the power of the stars, the more powerful spells you can learn, in addition, you can also have your own spirit beasts and Dharma bodies, etc., this is the growth path for you to become a star spirit master in the future, of course, among you to choose the future development direction also depends on the innate conditions, that is, the power of the stars and your spirit pattern to awaken from birth to the present, the spirit pattern is fixed, it is the innate ability given to you by God, and it is also the basis for your future development direction. Okay, without further ado, let's start the ceremony, let's start with Liana. After a brief introduction, Xuan Ze announced the start of the ceremony.
"Yes, father." Xuanliana nodded in response, and then confidently walked to the center of the stage, "When you're ready, put your hands on top of the sigil." Xuan Ze likes his eldest daughter very much, and he usually spoils and cares for her, and he is very much looking forward to her talent at this time.
"Okay" After saying that, Xuanliana put her hands on the top of the rune, and a beam of skyrocketing golden light appeared with a "whoosh", showing a circular pattern in the center of the beam, and a golden vortex in the middle, which was Xuanliana's spirit pattern - wind. Then the pillar of light gradually turned orange, indicating that Xuanliana's star power starts from the orange level, and theoretically the star power is from low to high, which are white, yellow, orange, green, blue, black, pink purple, red, silver, and gold.
Xuan Ze was not surprised by Lianna's result, and was very satisfied, not only inherited Xuanzong's direct bloodline spirit pattern-wind, but also the innate talent was not comparable to a few people. Cultivate well, and in the future, you may be able to catch up with the strength of Xuan Ze's own high-level one-star spirit master.
In this time and space, after all the spirit element attributes are absorbed and absorbed, the cultivation of the star spirit master can be officially started, and its level is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate and advanced, each level is divided into one star, two stars, and three stars from low to high, the higher the more difficult it is to cultivate, when the power of the stars reaches the golden level, the star spirit master surpasses the strength of the advanced three-star, and the world calls it a god. Of course, almost no one has reached this level, and it is only recorded in ancient books that it appeared thousands of years ago, but it is only a legend.
"Next" Then Xuan Ze waved his hand and called the next one to come up, and sure enough, among these concubines in the future, none of them could surpass Xuan Lianna, which couldn't help but make Xuan Lianna a little arrogant, and her head was higher. The smug eyes also flicked to the tide from time to time.
Shizome looked at his palm, curious about what kind of abilities he would have.
"Finally, Shizome can come."
Originally, it was an awakening ceremony only for relatives of the sect who were related by blood, and it was impossible for Xiran to participate in it with a person who had no identity, but because of Elder Ruoshui's insistent persuasion, Sect Master Xuan Ze gave her such an opportunity.
Shizome stepped forward, put his hands down, and suddenly a beam of silver light rushed up to the sky, saying that it was silver light rather than the light of multicolored stars in the silver light, showing off dazzlingly, and a star-shaped shape appeared in the middle, and in the middle was a snowflake pattern.
Everyone present was shocked, especially Elder Ruoshui, a smile of relief appeared on the old man's face, and he muttered, "It's really an excellent inheritance." ”
The dazzling light shook everyone into a trance, and the tide in the center of the light was like a god, and the noble one dared not approach. At this time, Shizoran didn't know the changes around her, she was in the light, she felt the warmth, and felt that the veins around her body were opened, and the warmth and coolness wrapped herself, so that she saw the five colors, then silver, then blood red, and then there was no color, she has been closing her eyes to feel the changes around her, as well as the increase in the energy in her body.
Outside, everyone watched in disbelief as the light was absorbed by the tide of light, until it was completely gone, and then it turned into a yellow pillar of light, which was the level of the star power of the tide stain.
Until the end, Xi Ran walked off the stage, Xuan Ze didn't react, that spirit pattern, that multicolored light, made him a little trance, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, he suddenly felt that the origin of Xi Ran must not be simple. Although the power of the stars shown in the end is not as high as that of Xuan Lianna, if you cultivate it well, you will definitely be a rare talent in the future.
After all, Elder Shui is well-informed, and she knows very well in her heart that this Shizome's life experience is a secret box of Pandora that cannot be opened, and she was entrusted by the deceased to take care of Shizome, so she has to keep this secret well.
She could guess what caused those changes, but she couldn't say that she had sworn and promised the deceased to protect her, to keep her away from strife, and to live her life in peace.
Sometimes it backfires, but now it seems that Elder Ruoshui looked at Xuan Ze's eyes like seeing Bao, and she felt that she had made a wrong decision, and she should not be exposed to everyone for the awakening ceremony. Then she turned her head to look at the tide that had no emotional fluctuations, her eyes were as gentle as water, and she suddenly sighed in her heart: Some people have some things that are destined and cannot be changed and stopped.
Ten years later
Since the last awakening ceremony, another ten years have passed unconsciously, and in the past ten years, Ruoshui has been carefully cultivating Shizome, and Shizoran has also grown rapidly under the guidance of Ruoshui's closed door, and the cultivation of the power of the stars has entered the intermediate stage, showing blue, but the ability of the spirit pattern is not enough, because she is a snowflake type, it means that she is a natural attribute, ice, snow, and water should be tamed and under her control.
In the past ten years, she has studied hard and practiced hard, conquered water and snow, and now she is almost ice, and she can be regarded as an officially middle-level one-star star spirit master. Her cultivation plan was arranged by Ruoshui, which was a little different from the cultivation methods of ordinary people, after all, Ruoshui hoped that Xiran would become strong quickly and have the ability to protect herself, after all, she couldn't stay in the Xuanzong family for the rest of her life and stay at home. And once outside, the outside world is not so easy to survive.
Xuanzong's backyard
The snow petals flying in the sky are mixed with red plum petals, with the rotation and waving of the girl in the blue cloak in the middle, red and white, the power of the slight blue stars lingers in it, the aura is so big, a vortex is formed not far away, I saw that the brown hair flicked, the girl's hand turned, the vortex disappeared, the girl turned around, and saw Elder Ruoshui not far away, and ran over happily: "Master, the apprentice is done!" ”
The words reveal a sense of joy.,This skill is called:Snow Swirl.,It's the skill of the snow element created by Shizome.。 Ruoshui lowered his head and touched Xiran's head, and said dotingly: "Okay, yes, I'll take you out tomorrow and go to the Ice Sea Forest." ”
"Are you going to start practicing ice?" Shizome asked curiously when he heard this.
"That's right, you can rest well today, tomorrow is your first time out of Xuanzong, go back and clean up." Ruoshui patted Shizoe's shoulder, and his tone seemed to be a little heavy.
"Okay, the apprentice will go back first." Shizoan looked at her master suspiciously, but still bowed and left sensibly.
She didn't know what Ruoshui was worried about, why she had a heavy tone, and Shizoran didn't know that she had left Xuanzong and started her difficult journey. She didn't know that the person who loved her since she was a child, the person she had always regarded as a relative, would leave her so quickly.
Ice Sea Town
Binghai Town is a small town located near the entrance of the Ice Sea Forest, and the people in it have guarded this forest for generations, guarding the blessings of nature, and people also rely on the forest to survive. The town is not too big, but the people are simple and lively.
Shizome, who left Xuanzong for the first time, was attracted by all kinds of things, and looked at all kinds of fun, good-looking, and delicious things bought at the stalls, and was excited, happy, and went from house to house.
"Master, you see there's a restaurant here, it's quite magnificent." Not far ahead, there is a two-story small building, made of red nanmu, a chic, magnificent restaurant, with a plaque on it that reads 'Haixiu Pavilion' in gilding, looking at the endless stream of people at the door, it should be a very popular restaurant.
The shopkeeper who was entertaining at the door of Haixiu Pavilion stepped forward to greet the two of them eagerly when he saw the two of them stop at this time: "That's not it, we are the biggest restaurant in the whole town, do you want to come in and try this delicacy?" ”
Xiran was a little moved, and then looked at the master, as if asking for advice, Elder Ruoshui looked around and said, "Then try it." ”
"Okay, two of you, please." The shopkeeper happily beckoned the two of them to go up to the second floor, found a good position by the window and arranged to sit down, and began to introduce the top dishes and various specialties here.
