In the early morning in the mountains, birds chirp and clouds are like sand.

Early morning and dusk are the time when yin and yang meet, and this is the time of the day when the aura is at its strongest. Yang Zixiao began to cultivate day after day, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and constantly circulating the aura in the two veins of dry and dui. When saturation is reached, it begins to hit the bottleneck of the middle stage of the second vein.

Suddenly, Yang Zixiao frowned, his head was slightly right, and he avoided a stone carrying wind and thunder. The stone shot into the earth and saw no bottom.

Immediately followed by a fist, as hot as fire, hitting Yang Zixiao's head, as if it had already been calculated. Two other stones shot at the top of his head and at his side, sealing his way out. The corners of Yang Zixiao's mouth hooked, and he actually lay backwards, dodging the continuous back moves. He slammed his palms on the ground, bounced up, and rushed into the man's arms like arrows, and hugged him.

"Brother, you're back, haha~" Yang Zixiao hugged no one else, it was his eldest brother, Yang Ziling!

Yang Ziling was hugged by his younger brother and smiled helplessly. He used to learn from his younger brother, but he always lost to his younger brother with outstanding talent! He went to the inner courtyard of Suzaku Temple to practice for half a year, and he thought that he had improved, so he attacked his younger brother and tried his depth. As a result, he was broken by his younger brother's move, and if his younger brother threw himself into his arms just now and punched himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get up now. He grinned, but it was uglier than crying.

"Brother, brother, you're here so soon, did you bring me anything funny! Why was your punch so hot, as if it was on fire? ”

"The hospital was on holiday, and I came back. I haven't seen you for half a year, but your kid has improved again!" Yang Ziling rubbed his brother's fleshy face lovingly.

"That punch is called [Vermilion Bird Strike], it is a ground-level martial art of the academy, I have just started, if I open the three veins, I can turn the spirit into fire and burn everything if I practice it to the extreme. ”

"I'm going to learn, good brother! I'll give you a back thump and a massage. Okay, teach me!" Yang Zixiao was extremely surprised, he was worried that there was no martial arts available, his brother had always hurt himself, there must be no problem!

"You kid, you're obsessed......! Go home first, my parents are waiting for us!"

Yang Zixiao nodded and followed his brother all the way home.

Over the hill and through Yunzhuang is Yangjia Village. But Yang Zixiao insisted on bypassing this manor, saying that he didn't like the owner of this manor, but in fact he was afraid of meeting that girl!

Yang Zixiao dragged his brother and went around half the mountain before returning home. Both of them were a little tired, but they saw a table of food and a loving smile from their mother. That tiredness has long since dissipated.

There are four people at a table, and Yang Jianghua sits on a woman in her right hand, and the shallow lines can't hide the former elegance. This woman is Yang Jianghua's wife Yang, formerly known as Zhou Fangfei, who changed her surname to Yang after marrying Yang Jianghua. She smiled and looked at her son, who had just come home, with love and pity in her eyes.

After the meal, the maids cleared the table and served tea. Yang Jianghua said slowly: "Ziling has made progress in the past six months, and the courtyard can still be completed?"

"Back to my father's words, I ranked tenth in the courtyard examination and was assigned to the outer courtyard, but in the outer courtyard competition that just ended, I have entered the inner courtyard and started to learn martial arts!" Yang Ziling's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, but everyone didn't notice it.

"Well! Yes! The courtyard is full of dragons and phoenixes, and the inner courtyard is even more elite, and it is rare to be able to enter the inner courtyard! But you must not be arrogant and complacent! Compared to those big families, you are still far behind!" Yang Jianghua's tone changed, and he squinted at Yang Ziling.

"The child remembers his father's teachings!" Yang Ziling paused, glanced at the younger brother and said, "Actually, the child has one more thing to discuss with his father when he comes back this time." ”

Yang Jianghua closed his eyes, and the tea turned around in his mouth several times before slowly swallowing, as if he was tasting tea, but did not speak.

"Uh~" Yang Ziling looked at his mother with a flattering expression.

"This kid, just say anything. Yang said with a smile.

"I want Zixiao to participate in this year's Suzaku Academy's college exam! Suzaku Academy only recruits students once every three years, if you don't go this year, you have to wait another three years! Zixiao is talented and intelligent, three years is equivalent to wasting a lot of time!"

He knew that his parents loved his second brother, and he was only ten years old when he wanted to go to the academy to study, and he was afraid that his parents would not agree, but the academy's martial arts skills were broad and profound. There is also a famous teacher, my own perverted brother, who will be like a fish in water when he arrives in the courtyard!

Yang Jianghua frowned slightly, his fingertips tapped the teacup, thoughtful, and did not respond.

"I don't agree, Zixiao is too small. No one will take care of me when I go to the academy, I don't worry!" Yang Shi, who was still smiling just now, looked sad, "Ziling has already gone, Zixiao will go again, I am reluctant! ”

Yang Zixiao's eyes lit up, but after listening to his mother's words, his expression was gloomy.

"Dad, I heard that Nanzhou Phoenix Girl Anxin is also enrolled this year, she is the proud daughter of Nanzhou, and now she has two veins at the age of twelve, and Zixiao is now also two veins, not worse than her!

Yang Ziling has always felt that his younger brother is on par with that phoenix girl, and his younger brother's talent is even above that peace of mind! It's just that she was born into a big family, so she has received far more attention than her younger brother.

The family looked at Yang Jianghua, waiting for the decision of the head of the family.

After a long time, Yang Jianghua took a deep breath and said: "Cultivation is not about being competitive! Ziling, your mentality is not right! Regarding Zixiao, I won't let him go, at least not this year! Wait for him to be sixteen years old, he is still too young and too playful." Growing seedlings is not necessarily a good thing. Besides, now that Liang Lao has taught him, it is enough. ”

"Yes!" Yang Ziling glanced at his younger brother, a little helpless. You must know that the Vermilion Bird Academy has the most martial arts classics in the entire Nanzhou, in addition to the many human-level martial arts as much as a cow's hair, and a small number of ground-level martial arts, there is also a heaven-level martial arts-[Twilight]! Therefore, everyone in Nanzhou is proud to enter the Suzaku Academy. Yang Ziling didn't understand why his father didn't let Zixiao go to the Vermilion Bird Courtyard, was it really reluctant?

Yang Zixiao doesn't care, because he loves Liang Lao very much, and he always feels an indescribable intimacy.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Yang Zixiao took his brother to the bamboo forest in the back mountain.

The dark night was lit up by stars, and the moon was like frost, covering the ground. There is silence between heaven and earth, and only when the wind rises, can you hear the rustling of bamboo leaves.

"Hurry up and teach me, don't be fooled!"

"When have I ever cheated?"

"Hey, a lot. Last year, you promised me to steal my father's wine for me to drink, but you drank it all. The year before last, you promised to take me to the city to play, but you peeked at Sister Xue······"

"Okay! Okay! That's an accident, you said like I'm a pervert! Don't talk nonsense in front of others!" Yang Ziling looked embarrassed and quickly changed the topic.

"Whew~ Now let's be serious. This [Vermilion Bird Strike] is a ground-level martial art in the inner courtyard, and it cannot be passed on. But you're going to be in the hospital sooner or later, so it's not a side story!"

Yang Zixiao was extremely excited, although his father had [cracks], he had never taught him. He said that he could only teach him after he opened the three veins.

"Quick!

"Listen well, the spirit is divided into two veins, gathering the spirit at the end, fast and rushing against each other······" Yang Ziling was reciting the mantra while demonstrating.

"Like this?" Yang Zixiao clenched his fist with one hand, his fist was red and hot, and there was a trace of heat.

"Uh······ It seems to be!" Yang Ziling's eyes widened in disbelief. It took me two months to learn boxing to make it hot, and my younger brother was able to get to this point the first time he learned it!

Yang Zixiao saw that his brother was extremely surprised, so he explained: "When I try to break through the separation vein, I will produce similar heat when I use my aura to continuously hit the bottleneck, I think it should be about the same. ”

Yang Zixiao swung his fist at a bamboo, and half of the bamboo forest fell in response!

"It's amazing! Thank you, brother!" Yang Zixiao pondered for a while, and then went to study alone. Leaving Ziling, who has been frozen, and the bamboo forest that is staggering.

Yang Ziling looked at the black burns on the bamboo, stunned. He shook his head helplessly, some things are really innate. He has some expectations for what kind of level his younger brother will be able to reach in a few years, but it's a pity that his younger brother can't go to Suzaku Academy to study early.

The entire Nanzhou is the descendant of the legendary Suzaku. It is said that 10,000 years ago, Suzaku was one of the guards of the god of Mi, and then the god of Mi fell. The Suzaku died out in Nanzhou, leaving behind a monument!

The legendary awakened Vermilion Bird bloodline can obtain the inheritance in the stele, the god-level martial art - [Wildfire]!

However, for thousands of years, no one has been inherited. The legendary awakened bloodlines were also burned in front of the monument by wildfire. And this monument is in the Suzaku Academy, and only the strongest students in the academy are qualified to participate in enlightenment! The white bones in front of the monument are still unable to resist those people's yearning for peerless martial arts.

In the past few days, Yang Zixiao came to the backyard to practice [Vermilion Bird Strike] whenever he was free. He is gifted and intelligent, and his understanding is extremely high, and the Vermilion Bird Strike is becoming more and more presentable.

A one-eyed old man watched quietly, his eyes full of relief. This old man is none other than Liang Ben, the head of the Yang family, Liang Lao. He is also Yang Zixiao's master, unless Yang Zixiao is in trouble, he will not come forward to disturb. I don't know how long it took for him to turn around and leave, and Yang Zixiao, who had been practicing Vermilion Bird Strike, didn't notice it.

After a while, Yang Ziling came to the courtyard to continue to instruct his younger brother, he had extremely limited time to come back this time, he wanted to go to Yunzhou City to have a look, but he was dragged by his younger brother to teach martial arts. It's the third day, and I'm going back to the academy tomorrow. He looked at his younger brother's serious appearance and couldn't help but admire. The younger brother is already talented and intelligent, but what is even more commendable is the hard work of several years!

"Suzaku Strike!"

Yang Zixiao used the [Vermilion Bird Strike] again, and the temperature of the air in the courtyard suddenly rose, and his fist gradually turned red.

Yang Ziling applauded in his heart, it was extremely rare for the second vein cultivation to make the [Vermilion Bird Strike] have such power.

What surprised Yang Ziling even more was that the aura around Zixiao's fist also began to heat up, and the aura floating up and down was like a flame! This is the effect of opening the three veins to control the spirit! But the younger brother obviously has not yet opened the veins.

Yang Ziling suppressed the shock in his heart and applauded his younger brother.

Yang Zixiao looked at his brother with some embarrassment and smiled, and said, "Brother is going back to the academy tomorrow?"

Yang Ziling nodded and said, "Don't slack off, the disciples in the academy are all talented and intelligent, and the inner courtyard is even more hidden!"

"How is my brother doing in the inner courtyard?" Yang Zixiao was a little curious.

Yang Ziling's expression suddenly darkened, and he didn't say much. Just explained: "Don't enter the Phoenix Courtyard!" and turned around and walked away.

Yang Zixiao didn't know why, but this was not what he cared about at the moment. What he wants to do most at the moment is to find that girl to be ashamed!
