Chapter 2 Beautiful Sister
A group of neighbors watched.
"Sister!"
Xia Yehuo rushed over in a hurry, and was about to rush home.
"Stop him, don't interfere with my son's stairs!"
A woman screamed.
In normal times, no one cares about Aunt Xia's words, but now it is different from the past, once Xia Qi succeeds in the ranks, he will complete the body refining realm and be qualified to enter the main city to live and live the life of a human being.
If you don't talk to Aunt Xia now, when will you stay?
A dozen or so hands savagely grabbed Xia Ye.
"Don't hurt my brother!"
Xia Ye, who was about to break out and hurt people, heard his sister's voice coming from behind, lowered his head, twisted his body like a fish, and got out of the crowd.
Xia Lingyue stood on the side of the street, safe and sound.
"Sister!"
A smile crept up Natsuno's face.
"It didn't hurt, did it?"
Xia Lingyue looked worried.
"What's going on?"
Xia Ye frowned and looked at his thatched house: "Why is Xia Qi rushing to the stairs in our house?"
Yuan Qi is a kind of energy, there is a type of people who can sense them, and by using secret methods to absorb them, they can constantly temper themselves and improve their life potential, this kind of people are called wizards.
The first step in using the vitality is to strengthen the body, so it is also called the refining realm, with the improvement of the rank, the strength of a wizard will gradually increase, until it reaches a terrifying thousand stones, and even the internal breath is continuous, exhaling like an arrow, which can hurt people!
During the same period, sorcerers also had to practice certain secret techniques to sharpen their divine sense, and when all evil spirits did not invade and were not filthy, it was the great consummation of the divine consciousness realm
After that, the body and the divine consciousness resonate, and the two merge into one, which is the mixed yuan realm, and the most intuitive change for wizards in this realm is that their lifespan has increased.
In this era of difficult survival, the average age of ordinary people is only forty years old, but a Mixed Yuan Realm wizard can easily live to be seventy years old, and his golden age can be doubled.
It doesn't age until the age of sixty, which is something anyone can only dream of.
Above the Mixed Yuan Realm, there is the Hero Realm.
The mainstay of every tribe and the foundation of its existence is heroes, and the number of heroes directly determines the strength of a tribe.
Xia Lingyue smiled wryly.
"My Qi'er is rushing up the stairs in your house, and I can afford you!"
Aunt Xia looked at Xia Lingyue with disgust, and the more she looked at it, the more unpleasant it became.
"Then get out of here!"
Natsuno is not happy.
"Xia Ye, how do you talk to the elders?"
The leaders gossiped, accusing Xia Ye of not doing it, and praising Aunt Xia for giving birth to a good son who was angry.
"Humph!"
Being flattered by a group of people, Aunt Xia was even more arrogant, with her pointed chin raised, and she was about to teach the two sisters and brothers another lesson, so that they would know what attitude to use to talk to her, when she saw Xia Qilong walking and walking out of the thatched house.
"My genius son, you succeeded?"
Aunt Xia pounced on her son with a face full of ecstasy and pride.
"Hmm!"
Xia Qi didn't have any ambition to be complacent, and responded lightly, and his eyes swept around, falling on Xia Lingyue on the street.
A long linen dress with patches but very clean pulp, and a long hair tied with rattan grass, but this girl wears a natural carved beauty.
"I can't get enough of it!"
Xia Qi sighed, Xia Lingyue stood there, her soft eyebrows and eyes, murmuring lip line, and that quiet and tranquil breath, which made her like an elegant Xiaoling, singing about the half moon under the mist in the autumn night!
"Ling Yue, I've succeeded, I've cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Body Refining Realm!"
Xia Qi straightened his back, with one hand behind his back, wanting to make a strong posture, but his eyes couldn't help but slide to the corner of Xia Lingyue's skirt.
Although she was stepping on a pair of straw sandals, the girl's delicate feet stained with rain were white.
Xia Lingyue frowned slightly and took a step back.
Xia Qi smiled freely, he deliberately chose to rush to the steps in Xia Lingyue's house, just to let her see her excellence, he straightened his clothes, put on the most handsome posture, walked towards Xia Lingyue, and then stood still ten meters away from her, staring at her with blazing eyes.
"Xia Lingyue, I'm here to marry you!"
Wow!
The left and right leaders exclaimed, no one expected that Xia Qi would propose at this time, especially those girls of the right age, looking at Xia Lingyue's eyes, they were simply overflowing with envy and jealousy.
That's not enough!
Xia Qi took out a small wooden box from his pocket, opened it, and a bronze ring suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.
Tick tock!
Rain fell and wet the ring, but it didn't damage it in the slightest, but made the patterns more beautiful and dazzling.
"Why not me?"
The girls screamed sadly, and they felt that if they had been proposed like this, they would have fainted with happiness.
"Qi'er!"
Aunt Xia's voice trembled, this ring is exquisitely crafted and gorgeous, and it is worth fifty knife coins when it is placed on the market.
This is a huge sum of money enough for a family of two to buy half a year's rations! Just gave Xia Lingyue like this, and she was really unwilling.
"Ling Yue!"
Xia Qi didn't care about his mother's words, but looked at Xia Lingyue affectionately, he felt that he was simply the embodiment of love saint at this moment, and he was so cool that he could fascinate a large number of girls.
The long street was quiet, everyone was waiting for the birth of a beautiful event, and some people were even wondering if Xia Qi's family would hold a wedding banquet.
"I'm sorry!"
Summer Month refuses.
"With Aunt Xia's stinginess, I'm afraid there won't be many meat dishes!"
The neighbors' thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and they all looked up in amazement, looking at Xia Lingyue, with an expression as if they saw the big meat of the mouse to their mouths.
Xia Ye, who had been silent, had a smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Why?"
Aunt Xia screamed, her voice high-pitched and high-pitched, full of anger and incomprehension, like an old bustard who saw that the young prostitutes he had raised for more than ten years were suddenly deceived by men.
The atmosphere became awkward, especially the leaders who were surrounding Aunt Xia to congratulate her, as if they had been slapped in the face.
"What?"
The lines that Xia Qi prepared were all blocked in his throat, so that his mouth was wide open, like a catfish that had been thrown ashore and was dying, and he didn't know how to pick up the stubble.
"I'm sorry, I can't marry you!"
This time, Xia Lingyue's voice was much louder, and it was resolute, like a golden stone, unquestionable: "Xiao Yezi, let's go home!"
"You, you don't even know how to lift!"
Aunt Xia rushed over, twisted Xia Lingyue's face with one hand, and grabbed her hair with the other, she felt that her best son was humiliated.
Natsuno stepped forward and blocked the woman.
"You're just a waste, what's to be proud of? My son can take a fancy to you, it's a blessing that you have cultivated for ten lifetimes!"
Aunt Xia scolded and spitted wildly, she didn't like this marriage, but it wasn't Xia Lingyue's turn to refuse!
"Hey!"
Natsuno was upset.
"Don't fight!"
Xia Lingyue grabbed Xia Ye, worried that he would suffer.
"What? You want to beat me? Come on, my son is a Great Perfection of the Refining Realm, what about you?"
Aunt Xia held her chest up, and her triangular eyes were full of contempt: "Phew, the Xia family is a double waste, and sure enough, the mud can't support the wall!"
"Don't do it!"
Xia Lingyue hugged Xia Ye's arm tightly, she knew her brother's character, it might not matter what he was scolded for, but once it involved herself, she would be very angry.
Poof!
Someone laughed.
The Xia family's double waste is the most intuitive perception of the sister and brother in the slums.
Xia Lingyue is the daughter of Xia Wuyan, the former first hero of the Xia tribe, but she herself is a tabula rasa, even if she can't sense a trace of vitality, she is simply blind to her bloodline, so some people always say that she may be the child of the old king next door, and even Xia Wuyan has the nickname of a cuiding hero.
Xia Ye's bloodline is strong, but this also brought him ruin.
In this post-Stone Age, where the living environment was harsh, a person could not survive, so a clan system was gradually formed.
Based on the surname, the entire clan lived together, and then gradually tribes were formed, and cities were formed.
In order to compete for limited survival resources, wars broke out frequently, some surnames died and the clan was wiped out, and some surnames rose and prospered, which lasted until now, a total of eight surnames had the last laugh, proclaimed themselves kings, and shared this continent.
The Zhao family occupies the northern part of the mainland, and its national strength can rank among the top three among the eight major surnames, and it has dozens of large and small vassal clans.
The Xia tribe is one of them, it is located in the north of the Rehe River, adjacent to the powerful Zhongshan clan in the east, and the vast wasteland Gusen in the north, which has to constantly face the raids and plunders of the savage tribes, and has to attach itself to the Zhao State in order not to be annexed and exterminated.
The major events of the country are in Rong!
Every clan composed of surnames will often worship their ancestors and pray for protection, and each clan will believe in the same totem and inherit the same bloodline power!
This is everything that is rooted in life and cannot be changed, and the surname is an indelible imprint of a person!
King Zhao's methods of ruling the vassal clans were simple and crude, and in the name of sacrificing ancestors and protecting the tribes, he demanded that each tribal patriarch sacrifice his best son.
At the festival of the country, the great wizards of the Zhao clan will use a secret method to strip the bloodlines of the sons of these patriarchs and sacrifice them to the ancestors, in order to pray for good weather in the coming year and more heroes can be born!
This is the Blood Sacrifice!
Xia Wei patriarch was willing to dedicate his most outstanding son to King Zhao, and he didn't dare to pick a waste to fool King Zhao, so Xia Ye was unlucky.
Xia Ye is worthy of being the descendant of Xia Wuyan, the first hero of the Xia tribe, his bloodline is strong, and he has shown extraordinary talent at a young age, everyone says that it is not surprising that before he is eighteen years old, he will become a hero and become the banner of the Xia clan!
Four years ago, in the tide of wild beasts, Xia Wuyan died heroically in order to protect the tribe, and Xia Wei recognized Xia Ye as a righteous son in recognition of his merits, and vowed to take care of them, but only a month later, Xia Ye was dedicated to King Zhao.
After experiencing a cruel blood sacrifice, Xia Ye didn't die, but he lost his left eye, perhaps because he felt that he wouldn't live long, or maybe he was worried that cutting grass and eradicating the roots would affect his reputation, Xia Wei Patriarch forgot about this insignificant insect and left him to fend for himself.
"Am I wrong? You two wastes add up, isn't it exactly the Xia family's double waste?"
Aunt Xia did her best to mock her!
"Ling Yue, I can protect you and give you happiness!"
Although Xia Qi was still confessing, there was a trace of impatience and anger in his voice!
"My brother can protect me too!"
In Xia Lingyue's heart, her younger brother is the best.
"I've got the exact news that the Blood Survival Trial will start in half a month. ”
The corners of Xia Qi's mouth overflowed with a smile that was bound to win: "And I, I can protect your brother!"
The footsteps of the summer moon stopped.
The Wild Beast Tide erupts once every four years, and after it ends, the major tribes will take advantage of the next lull period to throw young people between the ages of fifteen and eighteen into the wasteland for a bloody survival trial.
The so-called wasteland is a place that human beings have never set foot in, reckless, primitive, and full of dangerous species, but human beings must pioneer, because the larger the land, the more resources for survival.
Food, water, ore veins, and even savage slaves will either wage war to plunder from other tribes or gather from the wastelands!
The warriors of each tribe are very precious, and naturally they cannot be consumed casually, so there is a blood survival trial, to put it bluntly, these young people are pawns.
Every young person who participates in the trial will receive an Ancestral Spirit, and when they arrive in the wasteland and choose a lot, they can worship the Ancestor, after which the Ancestral Spirit will build a temporary tribal altar and light the altar fire.
The fire of the altar can dispel nearby beasts, ghosts, and miasma, and temporarily provide a safe camp, at which point the pawns can begin their initial exploration.
While collecting food and trying to survive, you can find materials that are full of vitality, and when you have enough, you can pray to the ancestors at the altar and let the ancestral spirits build the Juggernaut Tower.
This is the most important building in the tribe, and it can be used as a hub to build the Vitality Tower, Spring Pool, and Hero Altar.
When these five basic buildings are in place, even if a small tribe is born, the horse pawns will complete the blood survival trial.
Easier said than done!
Although it is a pioneer, the horse pawns are not familiar with the wasteland, but the water source, ore veins, and the land for cultivation are all contested areas, so there are often many horse pawns to build tribes in these places, and then it is a bloody conquest and fighting, only the final victor is qualified to erect the totem banner of the tribe!
There are more than a dozen clans near the Xia tribe, not to mention the fights between these pawns with different surnames, even within the Xia tribe, it is not monolithic.
When the time comes, hundreds of people will pour into the wasteland and start a competition, and Xia Lingyue will be willing to have one more ally even if he believes in his brother's talent.
"I can even introduce him to Xia Wei!"
Xia Qi chuckled lightly and broke out another fierce news.
There was an exclamation!
Xia Wei is the youngest son of the patriarch Xia Wei, with outstanding talent, known as the future of the tribe, if he can be his subordinate, then he will definitely be an important minister of the Xia clan in the future.
For the sake of her younger brother, Xia Lingyue was willing to sacrifice herself, but just as she was about to speak, Xia Ye took a step and blocked in front of her.
"Even you, dare to protect me?"
Xia Ye pursed his lips, ignored Xia Qi after speaking, took Xia Lingyue's hand and walked to the thatched house.
The body temperature passed through his fingertips, which warmed people's hearts, and looking at the back of his younger brother Yuan Yu Yuezhi, Xia Lingyue closed her lips.
At this time, the man is in charge!
Seeing his beloved girl passing by, with only her brother in his eyes, Xia Qi couldn't stand this contempt and insult anymore, and roared.
"You'll regret it!"
Xia Lingyue didn't care, she had a big secret, and she couldn't wait to tell her brother!
