The dark purple dark red robe hung down to the ground, but I don't know what material this dress is, and it can't be stained with the slightest dust.

The young man stood under the tree in the courtyard, staring at the peach blossoms with lush leaves, his eyes were clear for a while, and then blank.

As he woke up for more and more, he could already remember too many things, including who he was, everything that happened to him, and why he was in this strange place.

Holy Spirit Fetus, Coffin, Soul Transfer, Assassination, Teleportation Circle......

It was as if it happened yesterday, and it was as distant as a dream, and I couldn't grasp it, but I couldn't forget it.

On the contrary, everything that happened in front of him made him feel cordial and comfortable for a long time.

He had heard the big man in leather armor talk about the affairs of the border city and Yinshan, and he only thought about it for a while to sort out the cause and effect. Thinking about the thirteen years of silence in the dark lake of the yin mountain, his unintentional actions have brought almost desperate damage to the city.

Although he felt a little sorry in his heart, he didn't feel guilty.

Naturally, there is no need to explain it to these people.

The young man spread out his palms, glanced down at his seemingly unfamiliar and somewhat familiar body, and couldn't help sighing.

"Ah Chen, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yue'er walked out of the room, wiped her hands on the floral apron twice, and looked at the young man with some strange eyes.

Ah Chen is his name, to be precise, Xiao Chen is the name Xiao Yue'er gave him. But it doesn't matter, the name is just a temporary title for him now, and he doesn't care.

"Are you looking at the peach blossoms? I've heard the old people in the city say that in the past, there was a peach blossom forest of several streets long on Yinshan Mountain, and every spring when a large number of peach blossoms bloomed, it was really beautiful. ”

"I don't know if it's true, it's been a long time ago, I really want to see it......"

Xiao Yue'er held her hands in front of her chest and said with a yearning expression.

Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Yue'er, then turned his head away. If it weren't for this little girl's insistence, she might still be staying in Yinshan and not coming out. As for the matter of living in the Xiao family now, he is happy to accept it.

Xiao Yue'er's family is the most ordinary resident of the border city, Xiao's father usually follows the hunting team in the border city into the mountains to hunt, and Xiao Yue'er occasionally does needlework for others, barely making a living. So he did have some incomprehension about Xiao Yue'er's insistence on taking him in.

And the leather-armored man is the captain of the border city hunting team, and he is also the captain of the border city guards, and he has always had a good relationship with the Xiao family.

"Ah Chen, today is the day when Uncle Yan helps the children in the border city to inscribe inscriptions, I want to see it, can you accompany me to see it?" Xiao Yue'er tilted her head and asked with some expectation.

The boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Xiao Yue'er pulled the young man's sleeve out of the door very enthusiastically, and came to a square at the front of the border city, which was already full of people, looking at the stone platform in the center of the square.

The stone platform is almost ten zhang square, and there is a one-person high and low round tripod in the middle, three groups of two ears. There was a circle of young people of all sizes sitting around Yuanding, the youngest was about eight or nine years old, and the oldest was fourteen or fifteen years old, all staring nervously at the man in the top position.

The man was none other than Shi Yan.

The arrival of Xiao Chen and Xiao Yue'er attracted Shi Yan's attention almost immediately, as a monk with full eight veins, he was very sensitive to the sense of breath.

And most importantly, he cares very much about the boy who walked out of Yin Mountain.

Xiao Chen glanced at Shi Yan, turned around and walked to a remote corner, Xiao Yue'er didn't know why she also followed, Xiao Chen thought about it, and suddenly asked.

"As far as I know, the inscription is the first step in cultivation, and there is no substitute for it, why don't you participate?"

Xiao Yue'er glanced at Xiao Chen with some surprise, because since coming down from Tianyin Mountain until today, the young man in front of her had not said such a long word.

Thinking about the young man's question, Xiao Yue'er's eyes couldn't help but darken.

"I participated in the inscription tournament three years ago, but I didn't succeed, people say that the border city is cursed, but I still think that maybe I am not suitable for cultivation......

"And ......" Xiao Yue'er looked at the round tripod on the stone platform and said, "When the inscription needs the assistance of the soul-attracting incense, and the soul-attracting incense is a very valuable thing, every child who participates in the inscription conference must pay ten gold in advance as a fee, and the family ...... I really can't afford it. ”

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment and didn't speak again.

"It's you, I see you're eleven or twelve years old, this is the best age to engrave the life tattoo, it would be a pity if you missed it. Xiao Yue'er said a little sadly, "It's a pity that the family really doesn't have any money, otherwise I will definitely ask my father to sign you up for the ......."

Xiao Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it.

"Oh, Ah Chen, can't you remember your background, and the reason why you appeared in Yinshan?" Xiao Yue'er asked with some pity, in her opinion, there was nothing more sad than losing her memory.

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment and nodded.

"If you can remember, you must tell me, I will ask Uncle Yan to help you contact your family, you know?"

It's not that he can't remember, he just doesn't want to think about it. He doesn't need anyone to contact his family for him, because he doesn't have family.

Boom!

A cold bell rang, and the noise in the field suddenly stopped, and everyone stared at the big man on the stone platform and the hundreds of young boys and girls sitting around them, their eyes were full of eagerness and excitement.

Of course, there is a hint of regret and sorrow.

If you inscribe the life crest elsewhere, the chances of success must be greater, and it will not be like the border city, after all, this is a cursed place.

"The inscription is the beginning of cultivation, and it is also the most important key to cultivation, whether you can embark on the path of cultivation, how far you can go on the road of cultivation, you can see it from the inscription of the life pattern. Shi Yan stood on the stone platform, glanced at the teenagers in a circle, and said.

"Of course, the success rate of inscribed life crests depends not only on the individual's talent, the tenacity of the life soul power and the strength of the spiritual power, but also on the cultivation of the acquired life, the environment and many conditions. ”

"However, our border city is located in the border of Daxuan, adjacent to the vicissitudes of the river, and has always lacked these resources, neither has the corresponding soul gathering array, and even the quality of the soul-attracting incense is not very high, the only thing we can rely on is to exercise and practice since childhood. ”

Shi Yan's eyes were inexplicable, and he glanced at the little boy standing in the corner intentionally or unintentionally, and then cast his eyes in the direction of Yin Mountain outside the border city.

Like many people in the border city, he once suspected that the so-called curse of the border city was related to the dark lake above the Yin Mountain, and now that the dark lake has disappeared, it is not good to say that it is an opportunity for the border city to rise again, and the already depressed heart can't help but start to be eager.

"Alright boys, the inscription ceremony, start now!"
