In July, it was the hottest and humid time in Tingzhou.

Li Ming carried the bookcase heavily, wiped the sweat on his chin with his sleeve, and raised his head, even if the sky was clear, the sky and the earth always seemed to be covered with a mist, which made people very unhappy. The shop fronts on the canal street are shaking weakly, but in this weather, how can anyone stand on the street and solicit customers.

Standing in front of a shop with "broken jade snacks" and stopped, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, even through the dense bamboo curtain, Li Ming could feel the coolness coming from this cold drink shop that was famous throughout the Yu country. This made him think of the banquet of the children of the wealthy and powerful in the academy last month, and the dazzling variety of dim sum and cold drinks shrouded in the icy air, but unfortunately he couldn't name them.

Smiled and shook his head, how could he be so stingy now? Li Ming continued to walk west along Shushui Street.

"Dada......"

At this moment, a few whips accompanied by the hooves of horses, there was a group of cavalry whistling through the street, this team of thirty-four horsemen, in this weather is also a full set of chain mail blue helmets, everyone is also wearing a rather heavy gray-blue coat, which makes people feel hot at first sight.

It's just that the hidden dragon pattern embroidered behind the big dragon clearly represents the majesty of the Dayu Dingye Army, so no one on the street looked at them a few more times.

"The Dingye Army in the city is strict in discipline and never disturbs the people, why is this team rampage?" Li Ming hid to the side to make way, a little puzzled, but in a blink of an eye, he was relieved, "I still go out in disguise in this weather, if there is any important task to keep it safe, I still hurry up to see Mr." ”

Out of the gate of Tingzhou City and stepping on that path, there were more and more teenagers on the road who walked like him, and when they met familiar people, they walked side by side in twos and threes, and the sound of low or high chatting also intermittently reached Li Ming's ears:

"Do you know, our academy's last ceremony of inheriting the heavens, it was really showing a big face. ”

"Who doesn't know this, the senior named Li Ming was in the limelight at the ceremony, and even the governor was impressed. ”

"I heard ......" The student in front of him suddenly lowered his voice, not knowing what to say to his companion, and then there was a burst of exclamations.

"Fifty percent of the heavens! Isn't that the chosen one!"

"My obedient, according to Dayu's law, this kind of freak will be directly named the chosen by the imperial court once he becomes an adult!"

“......”

In the breeze, the intermittent words kept coming to mind, and from time to time I could hear two words such as "Illusory Universe Favor", "Water God Blessing" and "One Step to the Sky".

Li Ming listened, and couldn't help but puff up his chest, there seemed to be a gust of breeze in his chest, and he was very happy.

On the Phantom Universe Continent, although everyone can inherit the power of the sky, but the vast majority of the living beings are only less than one percent of the sky, only looking at the population of Dayu country is more than 10,000, but the selection of heaven that can inherit the sky is only a few thousand. That is to say, the fourteen-year-old Li Ming has already surpassed tens of thousands of people in this country once he inherited the sky.

Such a sense of superiority makes Li Ming, who is still a teenager, not flutter.

But after a while, there was another topic in the crowd:

"Have you heard, there is a new gentleman in our academy, and that is a great man. ”

"When you mentioned this, I remembered, I heard that it was also last month, when he came to the academy, the dean greeted him with a lower rank and treated him with respect. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Lord Dean is the only heavenly gift in the state city, even if he meets the governor of a province, he also has a peaceful courtesy, if that gentleman is so honorable, wouldn't it be ......" The student lowered his voice halfway through speaking, and pointed to the sky in awe.

Everyone in the Illusory Universe Continent can inherit the power of heaven, and the five of the heavens become the chosen ones, the six become the heavenly grants, the seven become the heavenly gods, the eight become the apocalypse, and more than ninety percent of them are the gods that only exist in legends.

But then again, the new gentleman never seemed to teach, and rarely even appeared in person for more than a month. After a brief silence, the discussion resumed.

"It's not that I want to guess, this must be a nobleman from the national capital, who offended someone in the national capital, so he came to our Tingzhou for refuge......"

Li Ming listened to the students talking about these gossip that was half empty and half hearsay, shook his head and smiled a little helplessly and proudly, and unconsciously quickened his pace and distanced himself from the crowd.

At the end of the path, the students gathered like a tide, and the place where the tide was accepted was the Shushui Academy.

The academy is built according to the canal, the courtyard of the four entrances is not big or small, densely planted with flowers and trees, the pavilions are scattered, the scenery is quite elegant, quiet people's minds, it is indeed a good place to study. And now His Majesty the Emperor of Yu attaches great importance to culture and education, and the local government of the academy should not dare to ignore it, and even the important weapon of the Yu country, the wind and rain tower that is rumored to be able to regulate the wind and rain climate, is also transferred by Zijiang Mansion himself.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the academy, a burst of coolness came to his face, as if he had walked into the cold pool in one step from the steamer, Li Ming had to sigh again at the internal and external changes, and looked at the delicate small tower on the hill behind the mountain with great longing, and then his spirit was shocked, and he walked towards the library of the academy.

"Hello senior!"

Walking along the path paved with clear stones, there were constantly students from the academy taking the initiative to say hello on the way, Li Ming understood that most of the students in the academy had some background, but they were not easy to be self-conscious, so they also returned the salute one by one.

Thinking about these powerful sons who were usually above the top in the past, before the Chengtian ceremony last month, they didn't take him seriously at all, and now seeing that they have taken the initiative to release their kindness, Li Ming can't help but feel that the world is impermanent.

The garden of the Shushui Academy is tortuous, but the road is not too far, and soon Li Ming came to the library building, but he turned around and bypassed the library building.

It turns out that behind this library, there is a small thatched hut, but it happens to be blocked by a three-storey library building with a width of several rooms, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it without paying attention.

In the tall shadow of the library building, the door of the hut was hidden, and the face of this young man, who was bound to become an upstart in the court, showed a rare awe on his face.

Li Ming walked up the steps, knocked on the door that had never been locked, and then quickly retreated to the bottom of the steps and stood quietly, and respectfully asked the door, "Li Ming greets Mr." ”

One advance and one retreat shows that the students of the college are rigorous.

It's just that since he inherited the Heavenly Codex, Li Ming has become an out-and-out proud son of the sky, and even the dean of the academy who also inherits fifty percent of the heavens must respect him for three points, who is in the thatched hut that makes him so humble?

With his voice, the bamboo door sounded softly, and a young man with short hair appeared in front of the door, and Li Ming hurriedly bowed again.

"Ah, it's Xiao Ming, come on, come in and sit. ”

This gentleman looks like he is in his twenties, his face is straight, and his eyebrows are also delicate, but his nose is a little collapsed, which destroys the contours of his facial features. And this person's eye sockets are deep, his eyes are red and swollen, and his eyes are also cloudy, and he looks like a person who often stays up late.

After listening to Mr.'s warm greeting, Li Ming slowly followed him into the hut.

The cottage was bright and dark, although it was not bright but spacious, the gentleman let Li Ming sit down in front of the bamboo table, took the teapot and poured two cups of water, Li Ming got up again and said thank you.

"Don't be formal," the gentleman sat at the other end of the bamboo table, looking at Li Ming with a smile, "How have you felt in the past month?"

Li Ming wanted to stand up and reply, but was held down by his husband, so he had to sit upright and lean forward, saying, "The world is turned upside down." ”

I thought of my own changes before and after the Chengtian ceremony, the condescension of the magnates of the academy, the generous rewards of the imperial court, the overnight wealth of my parents and younger siblings, and the awe-inspiring eyes of the neighbors...... That sentence couldn't be more apt.

Li Ming looked at Mr. again, his eyes were full of awe: "The student has today, and Mr. treats me with grace and reconstruction." ”

People in the world are only born with the first among people, and the ugly duckling can soar into the sky, just because he is a swan with an extraordinary background. But Li Ming knew in his heart that he had ascended to the sky from an ordinary student, and he became a blockbuster at the Chengtian ceremony and became a high-ranking chosen man, all because of the mysterious gentleman in front of him.

"That's the power that God has given you, and I just woke it up in advance, and besides, ......," a smile appeared on the young gentleman's face, "and you paid the price for it, didn't you?"

“......”

Recalling that day more than a month ago, everything that happened in this thatched hut, Li Ming was silent, just looking at the eyes of the young man opposite, in addition to respect and fear, but with a little more obscure other meanings.

The young gentleman didn't care, but just asked with interest: "I remember that the book said that after the Phantom Universe people inherit the sky, the heavenly energy will awaken, so what is your heavenly energy?"

The tone of this sentence is actually very strange, because this is the common knowledge that everyone knows above the illusion, but when this gentleman says it, it is like a rare thing read from a classic, if there is another person here, I am afraid that I can't help but wonder whether this person is a person from the illusion universe in person.

But Li Ming had long been accustomed to this gentleman's strange tone and way of speaking, and after being silent for a while, he replied: "The student's natural ability is self-healing. ”

The so-called natural ability, naturally refers to the talent of people all kinds of wonderful ability, although the earth does not distinguish between the north and the south, people do not distinguish between old and young, everyone can inherit the ability of heaven, but only the talent of more than one percent of the heaven can obtain the incredible power given by God.

Legend has it that the Heavenly Temple is set up in the center of the Tianxin Sea in the center of the world, and the Nine Temples are divided into all sides of the Fantasy Continent, and these ten altars are the source of all the power of all living beings in this vast world.

And in the water department, there is a kind of natural energy called self-healing, those who get this natural ability, the wound is healed in an instant, if it is a person who inherits the sky, the severed limbs can also be reborn immediately, and the five internal organs can be broken and can also recover on their own, almost immortal and immortal.

Recalling these records, the gentleman looked at Li Ming and sighed, "I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a lot in the future." ”

"Huh?" Li Ming was puzzled.

"If you want to be a dragon elephant for the gods, you must first be a sentient being. The gentleman sighed and said no more, but Li Ming understood a little.

All dynasties and dynasties in the Fantasy Universe have a tendency to rely on the able, and in the Dayu Dynasty, even if they are just teenagers, as long as they awaken, they can be sealed and eaten.

Such attention is naturally not only because the emperors of various dynasties want to declare their reverence for the destiny of heaven to the world, but also because they need this amazing power beyond the mundane for their use.

And strength, naturally needs to be exercised to be strong, everyone knows that the heavenly energy is also useful to advance and retreat, so if you want to exercise the heavenly energy that heals itself from this injury......

Li Ming shuddered, and then remembered the two sentences recorded in the classics, "Broken limbs can be reborn immediately, and broken internal organs can also recover on their own", and he shuddered a little - if there is no exact experimental proof, how can it be so specific?

Seeing that he was frightened by himself, the corners of his mouth were imperceptibly hooked, revealing a little narrowness, and then gently knocked on the table: "What I want, did you bring it to me?"

Li Ming came back to his senses, and hurriedly took out a few things from the bookcase behind him and put them on a few with both hands.

It was a few road citations and the like, and a household register, the inner book was spread out, obviously new, and I don't know whether it was true or false, and there was a line of big characters printed on the leather paper:

Dayu Tingzhou Mansion, Shangyu.

The gentleman picked up the household registration and took a closer look, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "Shang Yu, Shang Yu! Now it seems that you are really a Dayu person." ”

Li Ming heard that there was some depression in Mr.'s words, but he didn't dare to respond, but the question arose again in his heart: "Sir, where did you come from?"
