Chapter 1: Ancestors
went to the bakery opposite and bought a few leftover discounted bread from yesterday, Chen Miao walked towards his humble rental house, and found a person standing at the door, looking a little familiar.
The other party obviously heard the footsteps, turned his head to look at her, and showed a bright smile: "Sister, you are finally back." ”
"Chen Hao, why are you here? Is there something wrong? After arriving in this world, the only thing she became familiar with was this cheap brother.
After her accidental death, she was reborn as the girl with the same name as her, and until a month later, she still felt a little incredible.
The other party flatteringly raised the cake in his hand: "Today is your birthday, can't I come over to celebrate you?" ”
"Thank you." It turns out that today is the original owner's birthday.
"......" seemed to be surprised that Chen Miao would answer like this, and the little boy froze directly in place, glaring.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Miao bypassed him, took out the key and opened the door.
Chen Hao quickly followed her into the house: "It's nothing, I just think you spoke very much like a human today-ah, no, it doesn't count just now-sister, it's your birthday today, don't force me to say something that makes you unhappy." ”
Chen Miao glanced at him, obviously his words just now already had an unhappy effect.
"Ahem." Chen Hao scratched his head, "Grandma asked you to go back for a meal and celebrate for you, or you should take this opportunity to move back." ”
"Not going back."
"Why don't you go back?" Chen Hao glanced at the bread bag in her hand, "You see that you are so poor that you can only eat this every day, if you go back, although the pocket money will not increase, at least you can eat enough for every meal." ”
"......" Chen Miao sighed silently, if she could, she also wanted to take a look, but unfortunately she had almost no memory of the original owner, some were only some sporadic memory fragments, and this world was very different from the world she was in before, it was nothing in the face of this tenacious brother, but those family members, she was not sure that she could get by.
What if it turns out that she is no longer their original daughter, and they drag her away for slicing research?
Now the place where she is is developed by the cultivation world, it is said that there were many cultivators who ascended a long time ago, but it is a pity that later, the aura became thinner and thinner, and it became difficult to cultivate the truth, not to mention the ascension, it was difficult to even improve a small realm, and most people gave up cultivation.
Even so, Xiuzhen still has a high status in everyone's minds, just like now, although high-tech products have been everywhere, there are still people cultivating, and even some Xiuzhen disciplines are still retained in schools, such as rune literature evolved from drawing Dao symbols, and pharmacy evolved from alchemy.
But because of the age, and the fact that there are fewer and fewer monks with high abilities, many spells have been lost, and now there are not many left, and they are not pure, and the power is not as powerful as those Xiuzhen novels that Chen Miao read in his previous life, and most of them are used in combination with technology, such as drawing runes on the armor of the mecha to enhance defense; Another example is the mobile station in the shopping mall, drawing a teleportation formation, which can reach the destination quickly and accurately.
When she first arrived here, Chen Miao really couldn't accept this kind of nondescript world for a while, but now, she has a strong adaptability, and she doesn't feel much disobedience, and even feels quite convenient many times.
However, adaptation is adaptation, and many things are still black-eyed, so naturally she is not so bold and runs straight home.
Seeing that Chen Miao was silent, Chen Hao looked at his sister helplessly, and persuaded: "Sister, I think your behavior is too stupid, why don't you just learn a discipline of cultivation, just go to the classroom and mix around, at least you can keep the course you want to learn, maybe it will be unexpected and your taste!" ”
"Excuse me, I don't have that talent." You can't go to school for the time being, otherwise it will be exposed.
Chen Miao's family is a family that is more inclined to cultivation, it is said that a long time ago, it was a big family of cultivation, and there were many great monks in it, but now it has gradually failed, and this has been even more true in recent years, because of the rise of the mecha industry, there are many younger generations who have begun to give up cultivation-related professions and engage in mecha-related professions.
So when it comes to their generation, the elders all require the younger generation to choose the subjects to study in school, and even the monthly pocket money is linked to the academic performance, the better the test score of such subjects, the higher the pocket money, and vice versa.
However, the original owner is more interested in those scientific and technological products, and she is a very stubborn child, she wants to become a nail maker, not only did she not choose any discipline related to cultivation in the first place, but even after being forcibly added by her parents to a cultivation subject, she ran away from home with a lot of backbone, and refused to study.
Originally, I just wanted her to learn one more subject, but I didn't expect her to run away from home, and she used the pocket money she saved to rent a small house outside.
When she first came over, she saw an unfinished letter on the table, and later checked the text to know that it should be the so-called "suicide note". Although I doubt that this girl has really done something stupid, the memories she has obtained are pitiful, and even running away from home are all scattered from Chen Hao's side, so she can't draw conclusions.
But now that she has become Chen Miao here, she decided to live well.
"Actually, I knew you would say that." Chen Hao said and took out a bag of things from his bag, wrapped it tightly, and didn't know what it was, from the appearance, it looked like a book, "This is a gift from grandpa." ”
Chen Miao blinked: "Gift? ”
"yes." Chen Hao handed it over as he spoke, glanced at his sister again, and said as if he had made up his mind, "Sister, let me remind you first, so you don't have to look at the opening of the rampage mode, which is the ancestral formation atlas." ”
Chen Miao originally wanted to reach out and take it, but he couldn't help but freeze halfway.
Formation Atlas? Or is it an ancestral one?
This grandfather is too bold, he knows that this girl hates things related to cultivation, and he actually gives this kind of gift, aren't you afraid that she will tear the book directly?
As if knowing what Chen Miao was thinking, Chen Hao directly stuffed the book into her hand: "Don't worry, it's a photocopy, grandpa said that when I turn sixteen, he will also give me a copy, he said that I am so talented in painting, and I will definitely be able to become a great array magician when the time comes." ”
Seeing his expectant look, Chen Miao threw the book back: "Why don't you take a look first and enter the ranks of array magicians as soon as possible." ”
"Huh?" Chen Hao hurriedly caught it, "Sister, are you sure?" This is an ancestral heirloom, and the formations recorded in it are not even in the national database, even if it is a copy, one page in it is worth tens of thousands! Grandpa has explained, and when you write it down, you must destroy it directly. ”
…… Million?!
Chen Miao was shocked, originally not interested, but when he said this, he suddenly wanted to see what this pattern worth tens of thousands of dollars looked like.
Who expected to see her expression, Chen Hao suddenly made a loud alarm: "Sister! What kind of expression do you have, don't be obsessed with money and sell it! Otherwise, even Dad won't be able to save you! ”
"............" is really his own brother.
Seeing that Chen Miao didn't make a sound, Chen Hao called out carefully: "Sister? ”
"Take it out and take a look."
"Huh? Oh good! Chen Hao tore open a little bit of the package, and suddenly stuffed the book back, "Sister, you should open it, this is your birthday gift." ”
Chen Miao didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, anyway, she just wanted to see the content inside, and whoever dismantled it would be the same.
Although it is very thickly wrapped, there is actually only a thin one inside, and the first page is a circle array, and there are all kinds of formations behind, separated from low to high levels, and each formation is marked with its purpose and matters that need to be paid attention to when drawing.
The two sisters and brothers quickly flipped through it, and at the end, Chen Hao stared at the formation that looked extremely complicated above, and asked suspiciously: "What kind of formation is this, there is no annotation below." ”
Chen Miao replied: "Why don't you draw it and try it." ”
The reason why she did this was because she knew that with Chen Hao's current strength, if it was a formation with relatively large influence, it would definitely not succeed, and even if it was drawn, she would not worry about danger.
"Sister, don't be kidding, this is an ancestral formation, can you scribble? Moreover, this formation is in a high-level formation, even if I draw it, with my current level, it will not be able to be activated. Chen Hao paused, and then continued, "But it's the first time I've seen such a complex formation, it's good to practice it, anyway, just wipe it off after drawing - sister, do you have paper and pen here?" ”
"Yes, I'll look for it." Chen Miao quickly found a stack of white paper and a pen and handed it to him.
Originally, the pens used to draw the formation were all special, which could maximize the power of the formation, and also hide the formation, which Chen Hao just practiced, so he didn't pay so much attention.
After starting to write, Chen Hao's attention was highly concentrated, as if only the paper in front of him was left, and he quickly began to draw.
The formation has to be drawn by hand to have an effect, but it must be drawn very neatly, as long as there is a little deviation or even a little thicker and a little thinner, there is no effect.
Chen Hao has practiced since he was a child, and the patterns he draws are exactly the same regardless of thickness or color.
Chen Miao can't do this no matter what, I have to say that this kid's talent is indeed very good, but it's a pity that he wasn't born in that era of abundant aura.
She didn't make a sound to disturb him, and when Chen Hao finished drawing the last stroke, Chen Miao was about to praise him, but saw his head tilted and fell directly on the table.
…… Forehead?! What's the situation?
"Chen Hao, are you okay?" Chen Miao hurriedly helped him up, and found that there was no blood on his face, and it was as pale as the stack of white paper on the table.
She hurriedly turned out the "health monitoring instrument" from the cabinet, which is a must-have instrument for people today, the price is not expensive, the model is small and easy to carry, if it is some small problems, there is no need to go to the hospital, just adjust according to the reminder above.
Scanned it for Chen Hao, and saw that it prompted "Excessive fatigue, please pay attention to rest", she breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had drawn the formation just now, which consumed his strength, and she should wake up after resting for a while.
I don't know what kind of formation it is, it's so terrifying......
At this moment, she found that the formation that Chen Hao had just drawn began to emit a dazzling light, and her heart sank suddenly.
The formation was actually launched? Isn't this a high-level formation?
I saw a figure gradually appear in the sky above the formation, and it became clear after a while, this was a young girl, dressed in a scarlet robe, looking more like the collared skirt of the original world.
She fell lightly on the table, opened her eyes and looked at Chen Miao, but only glanced at it, and hurriedly looked around, her eyes full of surprise.
Although the other party is dressed strangely, since he came here, Chen Miao has sometimes seen people wearing like this on the street, which is no longer strange.
Could it be that this formation is a teleportation array? And forcibly pulled the people who were using the teleportation array over?
Chen Miao suddenly felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to explain to the other party. At this time, the other party leaned over and picked up the formation, frowning and observing it carefully.
"Sorry for pulling you over all of a sudden." Seeing this, Chen Miao hurriedly got up and walked towards her, "Can you return that piece of paper to me first?" Although she has only just arrived here, she also knows the importance of ancestral heirlooms and must not be seen by outsiders.
"You drew this?" The girl didn't give her the paper back right away, but she did look away from it.
"My brother painted it."
The girl glanced at Chen Hao: "My brother? ”
"Yes."
"What's your name?"
Although he wondered why the other party asked this, Chen Miao still replied: "Chen Miao." ”
"Chen Miao?" The other party repeated her name, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and then the young girl suddenly said in an old lady's tone, "Chen Miao, I am your ancestor. ”
