Chapter 3: Start Cultivating
In a blink of an eye, after more than a month, Liu Mo practiced most of the magic cheats he bought, but he didn't see any improvement, and he didn't seem to be interested in his own way, he was not very interested, he was always sleepy, shook his head, looked at the thick stack of cheats thrown aside, and looked at the tortoiseshell technique that only left the last one, and introduced it in a beautiful name: Those who have achieved cultivation are invulnerable, and the strength of martial artists cannot be broken, and they can also change the form of the shield as a weapon at will. Liu Mo thought to himself, isn't TM just a turtle shell, could it be that I am destined to become an old turtle? No way, practice, look at the formula, and the atlas with the formula, Liu Mo followed the way on the cheats, concentrated the breath of the whole body on the head, slowly felt the power of nature around him, tried to concentrate the power of the elements in the air in front of him, and entered a selfless meditation realm with all his heart, but he didn't react, and practiced for a day, two days, For three days, there was still no response, but I felt that I could clearly feel the power of nature around me in my divine consciousness, which was very special, and I felt the coldness of the water, the heat of the fire, the breath of the earth, the blade of gold, and the vitality of the wood. But there is no way to make them obedient and obedient, looking at the mantra on the so-called cheats, Liu Mo was a little discouraged at this time, am I really destined to not practice? But think about it again, my old arms and legs, I can't even split a single leg, let myself practice martial arts, wouldn't it be even more useless, since I have lived in a new world now, then I have to live a more exciting life, don't be like I lived for twenty-three years but didn't live out of it. I don't know if it's the difference between the two worlds, it's more advantageous to come to this world, Liu Mo can barely make those so-called elements listen to some words in the next month, although there is no way to separate the various elements, but he can barely release a layer of mixed elements around his body that can't be seen, don't look at a small layer of shield, but it can also resist ordinary punches and kicks. But because it was too draining, I fell asleep before I had time to get excited. All the excitement seemed to be taken over by You Rong's little ghost, and he screamed all night, constantly poking Liu Mo to see if there was still an air cover, maybe the child couldn't control his mood when he saw something new......
In fact, Liu Mo and You Rong didn't know that this world was too pure compared to the original world, and it was full of natural aura everywhere, and they already had too many advantages over the people in this world for the use of natural power and the use of strength, if they put the people of the Red Phoenix Continent back into the original world, they might not live to be thirty years old due to various pollution problems. It's like letting a person who lives a petty bourgeois life every day suddenly go to live the life of a beggar, eat food in the garbage can, sleep on the side of the road, and maybe die soon, but the beggars can live very tenaciously.
You Rong has made a lot of progress in the past two months, he has been sneaking around since he was a child, and he has developed a good skill, and now the Min martial artist has become more agile in his skills, and many places are easy to understand, although he has not yet practiced his strength, but he is not afraid of the average man, even if he can't beat it, he has run over.
Liu Mo and You Rong have lived in this nameless inn for more than two months, and the boss has gradually become acquainted, the innkeeper's surname is Li Mingfu, in his thirties, he looks honest, he is a native of this Chizhong City, and he doesn't know how many generations have lived in this city, this inn is also left by his father, and his son inherits his father's business, and he lives a stable life, and he is also very familiar with the things in the city, and the two often gossip with the boss and know more about the world. The boss only said that these two were brothers who came to the countryside to beg for a living. However, Boss Li also felt strange, since he was here to beg for a living, how could he save money in the long-term inn. shook his head, only to say that the two were losers.
The two sat in the lobby on the first floor of the inn as usual and ate dinner, while Boss Li sat at the door playing abacus.
"Boss Li, how do you feel that there are more people in the city in the past two days," Liu Mo asked
"Yes, isn't this the entrance exam for the magic academy and the martial arts academy once a year, people from all over the south are rushing here, hoping to be able to enter the academy, especially ordinary people's families, as long as they enter the academy, they can change their lives, even if they can't get rich and expensive, they can also worry about food and clothing. Boss Li came over from the door with an abacus.
"The tuition in this kind of place must be very expensive, and those ordinary people can read it," You Rong said puzzled
"You don't understand this, although the living in the academy is good, and the food is good, but all the expenses are free, and all expenses are funded by the imperial treasury, otherwise how can these people read, whether you are from the empire or not, I don't understand"
"My brother and I grew up in the mountains and forests since we were children, and we have never seen the world, so it depends on my brother's age, and my parents don't want us to live in isolation all the time, so they let me take my brother out to wander. ”
"No wonder! You brothers don't look at the treatment of this academy, there are countless people who want to enter the academy every year, but there are few who can be admitted to the academy every year, the martial arts academy is better, it can accept dozens of people every year, the magic academy can enter about ten people every year, and there are a few years that are even more pitiful and there is no one, after all, the magic academy needs people who can master a trace of natural power to enter, how difficult it is, I have never seen a few magicians in my life. ”
Liu Mo thought to himself that he was not too miserable after all, at least he could be blinded by himself to practice magic that was extremely rare in the eyes of the world.
You Rong looked at Liu Mo with envy, and thought to himself, "Hmph, it turns out that the master in the world is really hard to live, and I finally met a noble person when I came to another world, and now there are so few magicians, as long as the master and I follow Brother Liu, the glory and wealth will only be around the corner!haha" The more You Rong thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help laughing.
Li Fu looked at You Rong, puzzled, what is this little ghost happy about, and couldn't help but quip, "I think you should try it too, see that you little ghost is very clever and has a good physique, maybe there is a chance" After finishing speaking, he felt that he ignored Liu Mo and laughed embarrassedly.
Liu Mo didn't explain, and led You Rong into the room.
"I said big brother~, you already know magic, you will definitely be able to enter the magic academy, don't forget my little brother when you develop in the future, we are brothers in distress who came to the same world~~ hehe!"
Liu Mo looked at this little ghost, if he had relatives in this strange world, he could only be regarded as You Rong.
"Xiao Rong, the two of us are also friends of life and death, I came to this world inexplicably, and I have long regarded you as my own brother when I live until now" Liu Mo's sincerity emanated from the bottom of his heart.
You Rong felt Liu Mo's sincerity, his eyes turned red, and he threw himself into Liu Mo's arms, and tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes. After all, he has no father and mother since he was a child, begging for a living on the street, I don't know how many cold eyes he has received, how many times he has been beaten, no one can look down on him, and he has no real friends, but now he has a big brother in this world, how can a twelve-year-old ghost hold back his excitement.
"Brother, the two of us are the only relatives in this world now, and we work together to live a different life."
You Rong removed the big characters and called his brother directly, but he was more sincere and less naughty in the past.
Liu Mo took out his pocket, took out the remaining cigarettes, and took out the last three
"Xiaorong, let's also learn to worship on TV, just use these last three cigarettes, anyway, I won't have to smoke in the future, recognize you as a younger brother and let me live a new smoke-free life."
Lit three cigarettes, inserted them on the windowsill, and the two became brothers from then on, looking at the slowly burning cigarettes, Liu Mo couldn't help the pain in his heart, there will be no cigarettes to smoke in the future, this day can't be passed, think about it before, a cigarette smoked for several days, a few puffs a day to enjoy it, but now it is going to say goodbye forever, with a look of concern, tears rolling in his eyes. You Rong next to him saw Liu Mo's expression, and thought that Liu Mo was as excited as he was in his heart, and couldn't help but be even more moved.
The two brothers discussed all night, preparing to report one to the magic academy and the other to the martial arts academy, and break out of the world together. Not for anything else, just for the two of them to live better, the previous life was not very satisfactory, so let's make up for it in this life.
The eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth month of the Red Phoenix calendar is the day of the entrance examination of the college, and today is the sixth day of the eighth month of August, there are more people on the road, and you can see a few groups of people talking about it everywhere in the tavern, and there are also parents who bring their children to try the opportunity, so it is not lively. Liu Mo still has his poetry stall, but his ears collect information from the mouths of people who pass by from time to time. You Rong walked the streets and alleys, sometimes from this tavern, sometimes ran into that alley, and in a few months, he had already touched this Chizhong City thoroughly, and he was accompanied by a group of little children, just like a child king.
Not long after Liu Mo's stall, a child came over to chat with Liu Mo and said what he had seen and heard today. In this strange world, information collection is very important for them, after all, the more they know about this world, the more hope they have for life. Fortunately, You Rong, this little guy is a big ghost, he is familiar with everyone, he is a courtesan, and he is deeply loved by the neighbors in the neighborhood, coupled with his good skills, the children in the neighborhood can't beat him, and he often helps the bullied ghosts in the neighborhood to get ahead, so he has turned the children in the neighborhood into his eyes and ears. Looking at the children who came over for a while, Liu Mo thought sadly in his heart how it was so similar to the scene of an adult kidnapping a group of children to ask for food everywhere in his previous life. I couldn't help but shake my head.
At noon, the children all went home to eat, Liu Mo bought a few buns next to him, and the two of them ate casually at the stall, You Rong lay on the stall and slept on Zhengxiang, and from time to time drooled, and I didn't know what kind of dreams I had. Liu Mo sat alone on the stall, thinking carefully.
It seems that there are really a lot of people who have reported to the Martial Arts Academy this year, and there are about seven or eight hundred people, but the Magic Academy is only a very small individual, according to the information of the children, I haven't seen more than ten, think about it after all, the threshold is too high. I couldn't help but worry about You Rong beside me, so many people applied to the Martial Arts Academy, and I don't know if Xiao Rong can enter the Academy, he has no problem, he will definitely be able to enter the Magic Academy.
In fact, the people who graduated from the academy are also divided into high and low, the martial arts credit is nine grades, the Imperial Martial Arts Academy must reach the fourth grade to graduate, the normal study period is four years, those who have not graduated for more than six years are expelled and discharged, and there are not a few who are expelled and discharged every year, but there are also very good students who reach the fifth grade when they graduate, but there are no more than ten students who have graduated from the fifth grade in the past hundred years. Those who have the strength to start as a product, and the first to three grades are martial arts, and their status is a little higher than that of ordinary people, but 90% of those who practice martial arts only stay at this stage. And from the fourth rank to the sixth rank is the real martial artist with social status, called martial arts, like most of the generals in the empire are at this level. And at the next level, there are seven and eight grades, called martial souls, the number of martial souls is quite rare, and there are no more than fifty in the entire Red Phoenix Empire, half of the martial souls serve the country, and the others either establish their own huge families or become idle clouds and wild cranes who do not like the troubles of the world. The top nine products are called martial saints, and there are only three well-known martial saints, namely Haofan, Li Sheng and Liu Yichen.
Haofan has been in the imperial court for a long time, rarely leaves the palace, and is the first master of the Red Phoenix Empire. Li Sheng is the protector general of the Red Phoenix Empire, a strong trump card of the imperial army. The most ethereal is Liu Yichen, who does not like secular trivial things, and has a home all year round, but few people know the true face of Lushan, many warriors are struggling to trace his traces, but few people can do so, but there are also a few people who met him by chance, and they got his guidance, and later became a hegemon, making his rumors more mythical.
The magician is divided into levels according to the degree of control over the power of nature, and can master more magic elements, and control more of the power of nature, the higher the level, the most basic magic apostle can only use the most basic magic power; 。
But there are attack magic, defense magic, healing magic, etc., and so far all magicians can only specialize in one series of magic, so it's not that the higher the level of the magician, the stronger the combat ability, and there is still a big difference with the martial artist. However, because the number of magicians is really small, no matter what kind of magicians they are training, even those who are in the initial stage of magic apostles have a good status on this continent. Since most of those who practice magic are in the magician stage, they are generally referred to as magicians on the mainland. Most of the magicians are relatively withdrawn and extremely rare, so there are few magicians on the mainland who can be named, and the most famous of them is the only great magician in the Red Phoenix Empire - Liang Shuibing, although he is already the idol of the people of the whole country, but there are few who have really seen the true face of Lushan, people just admire this great magician from the bottom of their hearts, but they don't know whether it is a man or a woman.
