"Get out of the way, don't you see the stone bricks being transported, which of you can afford to pay the responsibility for the delay?"

You Xuanhao dodged the carriage convoy carrying bricks and threw a disdainful look at the leading coachman.

These carriages have been moving back and forth between the Wind Capital and the southwestern border of the Alpin Empire all year round, transporting the ice stone bricks produced by the Wind Capital to the borderline to build a wall, and they have been around for four or five years. According to rumors, thirty percent of the forces of the Heavenly Ice Empire were transferred to the border to build a wall, and the person in charge of this project was the second of the three Shangguan brothers, Shangguan Shuo, the Northern Sword King.

But You Xuanhao doesn't care about this. He just wanted to complain that the wagon had smashed the eggs in his bag. This small bag of eggs is the salary he got for selling eggs for half an hour. Although it is not precious, this is the only meat dish in You Xuanhao's hand after all.

"When I get a career in the future, don't even think about protecting your eggs!"

Anger is anger, but You Xuanhao doesn't dare to provoke these coachmen. Although they are not likable, they are all fifty or sixty level soul path monks, and it is more appropriate to escort border defense facilities than to move bricks.

After two hours of busy work, You Xuanhao can be regarded as returning with a full load, carrying a sack of seasonal vegetables and fruits behind him, and three copper coins in his pocket, which can be regarded as New Year's money for himself. He originally wanted to take the Huanpei given by Shangguan Yue'er and change it for a few years to be happy, but after thinking about it, he still dispelled this idea.

Just as he was about to go door-to-door to ask for a few eggs, a figure on the corner caught his attention.

It was a ragged uncle, with a thin body, not a little fat, every bone was clearly visible, but it was such a body, and it always gave people a strong feeling. On his face, You Xuanhao couldn't see a trace of emotion, and even seemed to see the image of hell in his slightly empty eyes. The uncle squatted on the ground woodenly, with a dirty cloth bag on his right hand, I don't know if it was his illusion, You Xuanhao felt that there seemed to be something in the cloth bag that was transmitting a life-saving signal to him.

You Xuanhao didn't plan to deal with this poor man, because this world was originally cruel, the weak eat the strong, and he couldn't change anything as a beggar, but whenever he looked at the cloth bag, he felt that something was exuding a faint breath of life.

"Excuse me, what's in here?" You Xuanhao squatted down and pointed to the cloth bag next to the uncle and asked.

The uncle didn't react at first, but when You Xuanhao spoke again, he reacted, hurriedly got up, and was at a loss for a moment in a panic, combed his fluffy hair, and then picked up the cloth bag.

"Are you asking this?" the uncle's eyes regained a little light, "This is a black snake hunted from the valley of empty sorrow, if this guest wants to buy it, it only costs ten copper coins." ”

"Black snake?" You Xuanhao was a little curious.

"Yes, this is the spirit beast produced in the empty valley on the outskirts of Xindu, the crown black snake. ”

"I don't have that much money, so forget it. Although You Xuanhao is very interested in snakes, he really has no conditions to buy a dying snake. As soon as he finished speaking, he prepared to turn and leave.

"Wait a minute, five copper coins are fine. This is what I bought in exchange for my son's life, I just want to change my food, little brother, you can help me, I haven't been touched by oil and water for three days......" The uncle grabbed You Xuanhao's sleeve and kept an expectant smile on his face.

"You...... With your son's life...... Just to catch a snake for money?" You Xuanhao's voice trembled a little.

"Otherwise, what else can I do, you are a beggar, you also know how difficult it is to live at the bottom of society, how about it, five copper coins, this valuable black snake is yours...... Think about it......"

"You think I bought this...... Will you be able to survive as you wish?"

"At least I believe you can give me money, money is food, and I can't survive without food......"

Smack-

only heard a crisp slap, and You Xuanhao slapped the uncle to the ground.

After picking up the cloth bag that fell on the ground, poking a small hole, and confirming that it was a black snake inside, You Xuanhao threw three copper coins in front of his uncle.

"I want you to pay two copper coins to your son—though I don't think you'll do that, one copper coin left is enough to give you a few more days of life. ”

The uncle picked up the copper coin with trembling hands, and kowtowed to You Xuanhao with a smile. When he looked up, You Xuanhao had disappeared.

......

You Xuanhao, who got the black snake, didn't care about the life or death of others, so he trotted all the way back to his residence. He was going to give this black snake to Old Man Rong to repay him for his nurturing grace in the past few years. If you can eat a meal of snake meat for Chinese New Year's Eve, it would be better, I don't know what Old Man Rong thinks. It's not bad to raise, but I'm afraid of being bitten......

While thinking, You Xuanhao arrived at the cabin where he lived.

In the wax moon, it is the season to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and nothing has changed in the cabin, and it is still deserted. The only difference is that the old beggar who was lying on the bench and reciting the martial arts scriptures is gone.

You Xuanhao couldn't help but feel deep regret.

With great difficulty, he ran through all the civilian trade markets, and not only completed the task of melting the old man, but also prepared some small gifts to honor his old man—but now he is gone.

Even if he just went to the place he wanted to go in the distance, not to drive the crane west, You Xuanhao always had the urge to wear linen and filial piety.

Except for a letter and a rusty sword, Rong Ze left nothing.

"Xuan Hao, my apprentice, the teacher knew that you didn't like to go out, so he deliberately found a reason to send you out. The teacher told you that there are some places and some people that the teacher cannot forget, and the teacher must take back some things that belong to him. Don't forget what you've been taught, if you fail to reach the Great Emperor level next time we meet, I won't want you as a disciple. ”

"This sword has been with me for decades, and although it is a rusty iron sword, it is very useful to you. It's gentle enough to maximize the usefulness of your gemstone, no matter what kind of stone you're setting in. I suggest that after you have found the most precious gem, you can set it with Nirvana True Fire and exercise it, so that you can get a rare artifact for thousands of years. Of course, the best gems and Nirvana True Fire, I don't think you will be able to find them in a few years, so don't be in a hurry to find them, you will naturally get them. ”

"Also, go to the bridge cave of the Ice Emperor Bridge and get back what belongs to you. ”

You Xuanhao felt inexplicable, since he had been messing with the old man, he had often earned a meal and never had any savings, where did he say "my things"?

Thinking of this, a trace of sourness rose in You Xuanhao's heart. It's been seven years, Mom and Dad, I don't know what happened to you, but why haven't you looked at me for seven years......

"Forget it, they must have suffered something serious and can't come back...... Heh, every successful genius is trained alone from his parents!" You Xuanhao comforted himself. This sentence is not unreasonable - after all, so many male protagonists in novels are without parents next to them. Although You Xuanhao doesn't have much money, he has read a lot of novels about soul mages.

It's just that...... Ice Emperor Bridge ...... There was nothing in that bridge! Even if there were, it would have been swept away by those who were greedy for profit.

It's useless to think more, seeing is believing.

After briefly cleaning up a few square meters of residence, You Xuanhao locked the rusty door.

Goodbye, the old house that has been with me for seven years. Goodbye, seven years of hard beggar life. Goodbye, my memories.

Step by step, he walked away with his back to the old house, and a cool breeze blew, plucking the strings of You Xuanhao's heart.

The two swords behind him were tightly wound with coarse cloth to hide their edge. When you have the storage artifact, put the two swords in. Sheath ...... It doesn't make it more convenient.

Since then, You Xuanhao has embarked on the thorny road of becoming a god.

......

Doumu Empire, Imperial Palace.

"What? I can't stop this guy with the Seven Curse Seals of the Kuimu Formation!" the brown-haired man with the purple and gold crown on his head said angrily, "It's clear that there is only so little cultivation, how did you do it?" Qi Yuan Zhenren, could it be that you let that kid go!"

"The magic circle set up by His Majesty, how dare the poor Dao move?" said the monk wearing a cyan Taoist robe under the stage, "I think the method of breaking this array seems to be a soul dao exercise, if it is not for him to cultivate to the emperor level, then it can only be ......"

When Qi Yuan said this, he didn't dare to speak again, and if you looked at his face closely, you would find that his expression was a little hideous.

"Do you want to say that my third brother let him go?" the brown-haired man's tone was steady, but he didn't mean to be mad, "Alas, even if the third brother becomes like this, he still thinks about sending that bastard boy to the outside world......

Qi Yuan's face showed a hint of relief at this time.

"Qiyuan Zhenren, go to Yunling Immortal Mountain and invite Zhiqun Zhenren down, and ask him to help me complete the purification ceremony of the third brother. By the way, let's see how my daughter is practicing there. ”

"Yes......"

......

TechnoAlpin Empire, Wind Capital, Ice Emperor Bridge.

You Xuanhao was looking for direction in the crowd at this time.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the town is full of cars and horses, and there are many beautiful young women who go out shopping. You Xuanhao was squeezed like a baked cake in the crowd, and occasionally accidentally touched the soft part of the beauty's body, which made You Xuanhao extremely embarrassed, but there was nowhere to hide. Well, it's nice to the touch......

After walking for an unknown amount of time, You Xuanhao finally arrived at the Ice Emperor Bridge. When I looked at it, I was fascinated by the decoration of the Ice Emperor Bridge.

At the head of the bridge, a gate was erected to welcome guests, and the words "Ice Emperor Bridge" were written on it with fluorescent magic dragons and phoenixes. On both sides of the bridge, there are many precious and beautiful plants, each of which emits a faint brilliance and exudes a faint fragrance. The railings are intertwined with colored lights, all powered by magic, shining with fantastic brilliance day and night - I have to say that there are quite a few magic soul mages in the Alpin Empire. Looking at the scenery on the bridge, most of them are rich ladies, most of them are beautiful and fragrant, some are gentle like water, wearing long skirts, some are extremely hot, and the scenery under the short skirts is at a glance. Because it was an ice soul technique that they cultivated, they didn't feel cold. While the girls were talking and laughing, they inadvertently hooked the souls of countless passers-by. You Xuanhao is very determined, as if he didn't see anything. "Only by enduring loneliness can you become a genius!"

It is only during the Chinese New Year that there is such a lively place. You Xuanhao looked around and saw that there were people everywhere, so he had to rent a house, settle down for the time being, and wait until midnight to move. I have to mention that You Xuanhao bargained with the innkeeper for a long time, and finally lived at half price - four copper coins. However, even if it is only four copper coins, it is enough for You Xuanhao to eat several delicious meals.

The currency of the Ethereal Continent is unified, and its specifications are divided into iron coins, copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and spirit crystals, and the value of the former and the latter is one to ten. With the rise in prices, iron money gradually faded out of the field of trade, and it was generally only used to buy salt and vegetables. In the five empires, the developed areas also circulated a kind of paper money called "Lian Yuan", which was converted into a coin or a copper coin, and the face value was divided into 1 Lian Coin, 5 Lian Coin, 10 Lian Lian, 20 Lian Lian, 50 Lian Coin, and 100 Lian Lian.

The entanglement on You Xuanhao's body, coupled with the ten coins hidden by the old man Rong in his shoes, only forty copper coins in total, obviously could not support You Xuanhao to reach the Soul Dao Palace in the imperial capital. Let's find something to do halfway through...... You Xuanhao pondered.

......

Night falls. The wind capital is still the same wind capital, but there is no noise of people coming and going.

In the middle of the night in the wax moon, the moonlight is hazy, spreading endless chill on the streets with few pedestrians. The breeze blows through the small trees on both sides of the street, making a rustling sound. At this time, You Xuanhao felt a little guilty of being a thief, and ran through the closed shops one after another without calmness, and finally arrived at the "long-missed" Ice Emperor Bridge. Looking around and seeing that there were no pedestrians, You Xuanhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew...... It's my world!"

"My treasure...... My treasure ......" You Xuanhao entered the first bridge cave through a path along the wall, looking around.

I searched every brick and every crack, but I didn't find any mechanism.

"Really, it's a shame that I'm not here because I've spent so much energy...... There are still six holes here, do you want me to touch them one by one?"

So You Xuanhao passed through the narrow passage between the two bridge holes and entered the next bridge hole.

Half an hour passed......

You Xuanhao leaned on the wall of the last bridge at this time, his face full of unhappiness and vicissitudes with a capital letter. Tiredness is written between the eyebrows, but anger blooms from the pupils like firelight.

"It was put on the side by the old man...... Can I curse now......" he said as he urged the water element in his palm to condense.

The chirping of birds flying and frolicking by the bridge made You Xuanhao's heart more and more uneasy.

"Eat me!" leaned to the side, throwing a fist-sized balloon of water into the air. "Go!"

"Huh-" An innocent cardinal that flew by fell in response.

You Xuanhao slowly got up, looked at the hazy moon, and fell into thought. Could it be that I opened it in the wrong way? Do I want to remove the fixed bricks and put them together into a fixed pattern? Or do I want to recognize blood? Or is the bridge just a symbol, a symbol of the foundation of mankind on the road to a happy and well-off society...... And then the old man Rong asked me to dedicate myself to the happiness of all mankind?

I thought about everything I could think of, and I had no idea.

"Then let's relax...... Maybe you thought of it in an instant...... "With that, You Xuanhao unloaded the two swords behind him and put them on the ground.

Sure enough, there was nothing behind him, and he was relaxed......

Then a strange scene happened: the rusty sword fell to the ground, as if it had an induction with something, it trembled constantly, and hit the bottom of the bridge with a "ping-pong" sound.

You Xuanhao was startled, picked up the two swords with his hand, and stopped trembling.

"This is ......" You Xuanhao was sure that he was not too tired and had a delusion because he had not slept well, so he took a deep breath and put the two swords on the ground.

Table Tennis –

"It's really an induction ......" You Xuanhao was overjoyed in his heart, ran towards the next bridge hole, and pressed the sword down suddenly, and sure enough, the tremor was even stronger.

"Well, according to the principle of symmetry, my stuff is in the middle of the bridge. ”

......

The bricks of the bridge cavern violently trembled with the rusty sword, and the entire Ice Emperor Bridge swayed, as if it might tip at any moment.

The upper wall of the central bridge emits a faint green glow. At this time, You Xuanhao couldn't take his eyes off the hidden patterns under the green brilliance, and he was a little distracted.

This is...... "It's been seven years, and I've finally seen this symbol again, maybe I should really be glad that I'm not an unorganized individual......"

You Xuanhao removed the loose bricks with his hands and saw the box underneath.

It was a strange box, green all over, made of two quadrangular parts joined together, with a hovering black dragon carved in the middle. You Xuanhao took it out and found that there was no dust pollution on it, and it was extremely clean. When I turned to the back, I saw that the words "Dongfang Che" were engraved on it, and I really felt strange.

Because Mao doesn't have this person in his impression......

Driven by curiosity, You Xuanhao slowly opened this strange box.

The colored light in the box flickered, but the moment it was opened, a white light shot into You Xuanhao's eyes, and You Xuanhao suddenly felt weak all over his body, and he fell to the ground in an instant.

When I woke up again, it was close to dawn.

You Xuanhao is glad that no one came to catch such a big movement last night, thanks to Fengdu's virtual night patrol system!

At this time, fragmented memories kept flashing in his mind—these memories did not belong to him, but came out of the box and entered You Xuanhao's mind along the white light.

"I'm Dongfang Che ......"

"Oriental Che...... Who is it? Is it famous?"

"I, that is, you...... You must take back your ...... Everything!"

Hum - You Xuanhao's whole body trembled, and he found that he had recorded a lot of incisive exercises in his mind, which were not like the exercises of the soul path cultivation, nor the methods of the immortal path. Moyue True Technique, the first technique that You Xuanhao remembered was the Moyue True Technique.

Looking through the box again, there is a bracelet inside, the bracelet is silver, and it is inlaid with three gemstones - a metamorphic cat's eye in the middle, and on both sides are a tender orange sunstone and a white and blue moonstone, all of which are extremely pure. The outside of the bracelet is engraved with strange runes, and the inside is engraved with a dignified regular script - "Tianxin bracelet, containing 800 cubic meters, can accommodate living things, spiritual power control, can absorb spiritual energy." ”

"I've picked up a treasure...... No, it's mine. With this treasure, I am one step closer to becoming the number one soul mage in the world...... Hahahaha, in the future, I will travel to Xuanhao, oh no, Dongfang Che, I will be the master of this world!"

After that, I looked around and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

"I'm a dumbfounder, this person is sick...... "Is it stupid to sleep in the bridge hole?" "A natural beggar has to pretend to be ......"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, You Xuanhao desperately ran out of the bridge hole, returned to the rented place, simply cleaned up his bags, meditated for another hour, and then left the Fengdu where he had lived for a long time.

Playing with the Tianxin bracelet on his wrist along the way, You Xuanhao pondered that if he was so poor that he had no food to eat one day, he would take this bracelet to auction, and he was afraid that he would not have to worry about food and clothing for several lifetimes. Even if you just remove the gems on them and sell them one by one, it is indeed enough to enrich the armor side, and just this metamorphosis cat's eye, which is full of spiritual power fluctuations, can auction off dozens of spirit crystals. The luggage is stored in the moonstone, which is convenient, and you only need to enter a trace of spiritual power to retrieve the items. The melons, fruits and vegetables that I bought before, as well as the crown black snake, were all included in the Tianxin bracelet by You Xuanhao at this moment.

There are no scenic spots along the way, after all, the Ice Empire is such a cold place, the vegetation on the mountains is sparse, and the barren mountains are all around, which is really not very beautiful.

You Xuanhao kept moving forward like this until Xuanbing City.
