"Next, Chen Kaiyu." The middle-aged man shouted weakly.

The sun is about to fall, and the remnant sun is like blood.

The middle-aged man sat in the soul testing area for almost a day, and there were thousands of teenagers and girls who came to the test, and there was an endless stream.

But there are very few people who can truly awaken the spiritual vein.

Autumn goes to winter, and the cold wind of winter is really pierced into the flesh and blood, and the wind is frenzied and cold, like a rebellious sword, stabbing fiercely into the people in the street.

The soul detection area is a room of about ten square meters, and the facilities in the house are simple. In all four corners of the room are mechanical stoves, which are burning with cuprite and warming the room with its steaming heat.

In the middle of the room was an antique purple wooden table with a black stone lying on it.

This stone is a spirit measuring stone, which can guide the awakening of spiritual veins.

There was a middle-aged man sitting at the table who was not interested, and it was the same person who had shouted before.

The middle-aged man tilted his head and sat diagonally. His facial features are three-dimensional, although he is a five-star pre-stage spirit, and his aura is liquid. But injecting spiritual energy into the spirit stone all day long, this kind of high-intensity work, is also very uncomfortable for him.

Looking at the young man in front of him who was a little anxious mixed with excitement, he shook his head helplessly. This familiar scene evokes memories that he has long had.

How similar it is to when I was younger! Expectation, nervousness, indescribable mood. But fate is eccentric, and it only favors the lucky ones. The middle-aged man thought silently in his heart.

When he was young, he awakened the second-grade golden spirit vein, and was lucky enough to join the Heavenly Wind City Guard. And at the age of twenty, he ran for one of the three captains of the city lord's guard, and married the daughter of the Chamber of Commerce in a beautiful manner. Now his status is transcendent, and although he has taken a back seat, he still has a well-paid profession like a spirit master.

"Spiritometer-sama!" A soft drink woke up the middle-aged man.

His pupils slowly focused, and he was greeted by a young man in a gray cotton jacket and straight black pants.

The young man had a slightly chubby face, fair skin, and was very delicate, with a pair of small eyes that were bright and bright, and long black and thick hair covering his head. He was tall and thin.

"Oh, oh, you're Chen Kaiyu, come to the quiz." The middle-aged man snapped back to his senses.

Looking at the young man's speechless eyes, he smiled awkwardly.

His eyes swept over this ordinary and ordinary boy, and an indescribable taste surged in the spirit master's heart.

"Put your hands on it." The spirit master said lightly.

The boy did so, his face calm, and he raised his hand slightly, placing it on top of the spirit stone.

The spirit master glanced at the young man in surprise, he had been measuring spirits for three years and had read countless people. The young people who came to the test were all in mixed moods, and their joys and worries were mixed. It is very rare for such a calm person to be so calm.

It's about fate, and it's so calm, it's a child with a story.

The spirit master thought so.

Time passed slowly, and the spirit stone did not change, and none of the nine black grooves were lit.

The spirit master looked at the young man sympathetically, and said slowly: "The awakening failed, and the veins were born useless. ”

The young man's hand trembled unconsciously, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his deep eyes.

"Hmm." The boy replied colorlessly.

Then he turned around, squeezed out of the line and walked out of the gate.

The spirit master looked at Chen Kaiyu's slightly rickety figure and shook his head helplessly.

Chen Kaiyu walked to the square outside and looked back at the magnificent spirit gate. couldn't help but sigh with emotion, in fact, he had expected such a result a long time ago.

This gate is also known as: Yuelongmen.

The carp will eventually come out of the day, and it will change into a dragon by leaping into the dragon gate.

From the time of gods and demons to modern times, the human race has a history of nearly 10,000 years. The emperors and supremes who have emerged alone in the world have all taken the first crucial step from the Soul Gate.

The fish leaps over the dragon gate and becomes a dragon.

Chen Kaiyu looked at it blankly, and then smiled bitterly.

Then he turned around and took a deep breath. Strode out of the Soul Measurement Square.

In the winter twilight, a teenager walked lonely on the street full of sorrow. Inextricably linked, bits and pieces of desolation.

"Brother Kaiyu, wait for me." A crisp girlish voice pulled Chen Kaiyu back to reality.

Chen Kaiyu turned his head, and a girl in a blue cotton jacket and a light blue scarf was jogging from a distance.

Closer, the girl stopped, gasping for breath.

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slightly green melon seed face, willow-like eyebrows, thin lips, and a delicate nose.

A pair of smart eyes flashed with inexplicable color, and the long hair that curbed the color was casually scattered.

Pretty as the peach of three springs, pure as the chrysanthemum of nine autumns.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the girl, and the sun covered her fair little face. She stood playfully, her little hands on her chest panting.

Chen Kaiyu looked at the person in front of him with some amazement, and said, "Yao'er, you have been following me?" ”

Li Yao'er glanced at him and said playfully: "You are really a big guy, you don't keep your word at all, you said that you would go to your house for dinner after the test, you just said you would leave, what should I do if I am left alone?" ”

Chen Kaiyu barely squeezed out a smile and laughed at himself: "Isn't I sad and sad, a person who was born with a wasted vein can only spend an ordinary life." It's ridiculous that I still have those fantasy dreams that are out of reach.

He shook his head and looked at the sunset on the horizon, his thoughts as if drifting into the distance.

Li Yao'er looked at his lonely expression, and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, she walked in, and a pair of jade lotus roots wrapped around Chen Kaiyu from behind.

Chen Kaiyu sniffed imperceptibly, the girl's unique body fragrance was full of surroundings, and it was the kind of fresh and natural sweetness. This is so difficult for a man with strong blood.

From a distance, the two look like men and women in love.

Chen Kaiyu pulled away, looked at the girl with a flushed face, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Haha, I'm so charming, the beauty took the initiative to send the newspaper." Chen Kaiyu shrugged his shoulders and spoke.

Li Yao'er glared at him and said dissatisfiedly, "Look at your cheapness." She stretched her body, and her graceful body curves were outlined, just like the green lotus in March, elegant and green.

Chen Kaiyu looked at the lovely person in front of him, and said cheaply: "Miss Li, how can you say that she is also a character who has awakened the third-level water spirit vein, and the younger brother will have to rely on you to support you in the future." ”

Li Yao'er stretched her arms and said magnificently: "Xiao Chenzi, my sister will definitely cover you in the future, and I will raise you for a lifetime." ”

The girl's appearance is extremely delicate.

Chen Kaiyu laughed: "It seems that I am going to become one of Queen Li's male harems, don't worry, I will behave well." ”

The girl was anxious and angry, and stomped her feet: "Brother Kaiyu, you are making fun of me, I will tell my uncle if you are like this." ”

After speaking, the girl stepped forward and waved her pink fist gently.

At this time, Chen Kaiyu suddenly remembered that the distance between them might become farther and farther away, gradually forming an insurmountable gap, and sighed secretly in his heart. He realized that he was getting more and more decadent, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Li Yao'er looked at his constantly changing face, worried for a while, and wanted to open her mouth but didn't know what to say.

"We'll still be good neighbors in the future, Li Yao'er." He spoke. The change of title, in which the color of indifference is fully revealed.

Li Yao'er's beautiful eyes were a little red, and she asked the young man angrily: "Brother Kaiyu, what do you think of me, don't you understand my mind now, do you know that you make me really angry like this." ”

Chen Kaiyu's face was as deep as water, and there was no response.

Li Yao'er's expression dimmed a little, and she sighed: "Brother Kaiyu, I know your dream to become the spirit of the heavens and the earth, and to wipe out the injustices in the world." I also understand that reality is very cruel to you, it ruthlessly shatters your youthful dreams, makes you confused, confused, and painful. But because of these setbacks, will you sink here?

The world is huge, hundreds of millions of human beings, why are most of them not ordinary people? Can't they live? They are still alive, and some of them have lived wonderful lives.

There are five types of heaven and earth spirit veins: gold spirit veins, wood spirit veins, water spirit veins, fire spirit veins, and earth spirit veins.

The gold lord kills, and most of the spirits who awaken the golden spirit vein are sword cultivators, and their combat power is strong. The most representative sword cultivation in modern times is

Among the human race in the fantasy continent, the first day of the new year is an extremely important day for young people.

Because this day is closely related to its future and fate.

This day, which extends from the period of gods and demons to the modern world, is the oldest tradition of the human race.

Every year, this day is known as the Spiritual Vein Awakening Day by hundreds of millions of people in the mainland.

All races on the continent

Tianzhou is one of the thirteen continents of the mainland.

The Eastern Alliance, consisting of five empires, thirteen vassals, and several hundred small states.

Among them, the five empires occupy the five council seats, and the Eastern Alliance is basically under the control of the Big Five.

In all Terran cities, young people who have reached the age of fifteen can awaken their spiritual veins and cultivate spiritual energy through spirit measuring stones.

Looking at the teenagers and girls who were waiting in front of them, these young people's hearts

The goddess of fate is eccentric, and it will favor certain lucky people in particular. Those people, even if they are exposed to the cold, can get a life that is the envy of others.

For others, fate is unfortunate and involuntarily, which is the truest portrayal of it. Even if they work hard all their lives, how many people will still end up being as strong as their lives, and the heavens will not fulfill people's wishes.

Li Tianzhen, a ghost genius in the Middle Ages, although he was born with a wasted vein, did he succumb to the arrangement of fate? No, he is not a spirit, he only has a hundred and ten years of life, but in this short life, he can't bloom as bright as the sun. Day and night to study the art of war, when knowing the destiny of heaven, in the danger of the human race, three years of lobbying the nations, finally formed an imperial alliance, under his leadership, the rebellion of the Nine Dynasties ended, repelled the invasion of the demon race. He also commanded the mainland human race and launched the final battle between the ancient and ancient demon races, the Yunjiang War.

In this battle, the sky and the earth were shattered, countless lives were killed and injured, and the water of the Yunjiang River was dyed blood-red.

In the end, the human race won and beat the demon race to the north of the Yunjiang River, and cowered in the bitter cold land of the three continents. This is the feat of Li Tianzhen, the master of all nations, who led the human race out of the long dark ages of the Middle Ages and laid a solid foundation for the creation of the human mechanical age.

In that era, weren't there also many powerhouses in the Emperor Realm and the Supreme Realm? But who dares to assert that those great powers can be compared to Li Tianzhen? The first person in the Middle Ages, this is worthy of the name.

Brother Kaiyu, this is a classic example of ordinary people's counterattack. Maybe you think what I'm saying is boring, because that's what we hear all the time. But most importantly, I want to express that although the dream of youth is good, the reality is hard. When you encounter difficulties, facing them is the best way to solve them, do you want to live a precious life in depression?

I liked you before, energetic, sunny and I enjoyed being around you. But now, I admit that you have matured, which is good, but in your figure, I see a gloomy twilight, is this the result you want?

I hope you understand my heart, and I want you to see who you really are!

Li Yao'er made witty words and talked eloquently.

Chen Kaiyu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and the girl's silver bell voice echoed in his ears for a long time, breaking his long-suppressed heart.

Yes, but I haven't awakened, is it necessary to be like this, the world is big, there are many professions, my path is very broad, why is my heart so narrow? Chen Kaiyu thought secretly.

He took a deep breath and looked at the girl with burning eyes.

Li Yao'er was a little embarrassed to be stared at, and couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, okay, just when I talk to myself, you can't make fun of me." ”

Chen Kaiyu laughed, walked forward and gently hugged the pretty woman in front of him.

"My Miss Yao, when have you been so verbose, please rest assured, I will go through this hurdle, your words are very exciting, let me out of the fog.

Li Yao'er exhaled the aroma into his ear and said softly: "Brother Kaiyu, when you encounter setbacks, you must remember your preciousness, and you must also think of me, okay?" ”

Chen Kaiyu was silent, but hugged the girl even tighter.

Smelling the girl's fragrance, he secretly swore in his heart: "No matter what happens, you must protect her in this life." ”

At this moment, a man and a woman are embracing in the winter sunset. Gradually, their shadows were stretched.

No one could have imagined that the results of the conversation between the young man and the woman would affect the future direction of mainland history.

Many years later, whenever someone asked the Savior about his cultivation motivation, he would always smile and calmly talk about the conversation that prompted his inner awakening and the woman who loved him deeply.

Time passed, Chen Kaiyu let go of his arms, looked at the lovely person in front of him, and said, "Go home." After speaking, he pinched the girl's pink nose, and then ran to the street.

While running, Chen Kaiyu suddenly felt a heavy object attack behind him, and a familiar aura came from behind him.

He smiled knowingly: "You are so heavy, come down quickly, my old bones are going to be crushed to death by you." ”

Li Yao'er snorted dissatisfiedly, without the slightest intention of coming down.

Chen Kaiyu shook his head and continued to turn on the wild running mode. Since he was a child, he has practiced the nameless exercises given to him by the old man in his family, which have greatly improved his physical fitness, comparable to the body of the demon clan. That's really nothing to him.

He carried the girl on his back, walked like flying, ran to the mechanical station sign, and waited for the arrival of the mechanical bus. This is a product of the mechanical age, making it more convenient for ordinary people to travel.

The cities of the Shenyue Empire are divided into four major levels, Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. Only cities above the yellow level will be allocated mechanical buses for ordinary people to travel.

The city where Chen Kaiyu is located is Tianfeng City, located in the northeastern border of the empire, its north is the endless Warcraft Forest, the east and south are the Shenyue Sea, and the west is close to the Nanyue Capital.

Heavenly Wind City is just a corner of the empire, and the Shenyue Empire is just a drop in the ocean on the fantasy continent.

Chen Kaiyu and Li Yao'er waited for a while, only to see a huge black locomotive turn around at the intersection, and the maximum speed of the locomotive was three times the sprint speed of ordinary people. On both sides of the black front of the car hung the Divine Moon Battle Flag, and the pure black banner was woven with a round of bright moon.

The locomotive stopped at the stop sign, the door slowly opened, Chen Kaiyu and Li Yao'er got on the train, and there were very few people in the car. They found their seats easily.

About fifteen minutes later, the driver shouted, "The city center has arrived." Chen Kaiyu took out two copper coins from the mouthband, threw them into the coin, and then pulled Li Yao'er out of the car.

It's dark, but the city center is still brightly lit and crowded. Because today is the first day of the new year, most of the hundreds of millions of people in Shenyue are in a happy mood and preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Chen Kaiyu and Li Yao'er walked for a while, and the door of his restaurant was faintly visible from a distance. Walking in, the signboard of Chen's Noodle Restaurant is clearer. The door of the restaurant is a little shabby, from which you can see the smell of the baptism of time. On both sides of the door are engraved two lines of words that make people speechless: the price is fair, and the child is not bullied. These are the words that the strange old man of his family thinks. According to the old man, this sign has stood in the wind and rain for more than 15 years.

Looking at the slogan, Chen Kaiyu couldn't help but shake his head, this may be one of the reasons why the restaurant business has been cold.

Chen Kaiyu pushed the door open, and Li Yao'er followed.

There are a few quaint tables in the restaurant, and there are no customers. In front of the counter, there sat a middle-aged man with a sad face, who was liquidating something.

Chen Kaiyu took a closer look, the cabinet was full of coins, and the old man took the trouble to count them over and over again. Chen Kaiyu became more and more speechless in his heart.

The middle-aged man's name is Chen Peng, and he is Chen Kaiyu's biological father, but Chen Kaiyu rarely calls him father, but has been called an old man since he was a child. Over time, this title is difficult to change.

"Old man, I'm back." Chen Kaiyu said.

"Well, how's that?" A strong voice came out of Chen Peng's mouth.

Chen Kaiyu shrugged his shoulders and did not respond.

"Hello uncle." Li Yao'er smiled.

"Xiao Yao is also here, okay, okay, I'm hungry, I'll cook for you." Chen Peng said.

"I'm sorry for you, uncle."

Chen Peng waved his hand, then turned around and entered the kitchen.

After a while, five plates of home-cooked side dishes were on the table, as well as three bowls of steaming noodles.
