Chapter 1: The Down-and-Out Child
Chapter 1: The Down-and-Out Child
The sky was cloudless, and the scorching sun was baking the earth. On a hill ridge on the border between China and Vietnam, a platoon of armed police soldiers lurked among the trees, staring at a path sheltered by a dense forest.
"Recruit eggs, don't be nervous! It's just a group of antiquities smugglers, much easier to deal with than drug dealers. Wang Yue, the squad leader of the first squad, patted the sweaty recruits beside him.
Wang Yue is a first-class non-commissioned officer, who graduated from college to serve as a soldier, and should have been discharged from the army two years ago to continue to study, but he was reluctant to live in the barracks, especially his combat partner "Adi", who was with him day and night. In addition, Wang Yue's military quality is exquisite, especially good at dog training, and the troops are reluctant to let him leave, so they stay.
In the past few years, Wang Yue and the police dog "Adi" have cooperated to complete more than 100 tasks, arrested hundreds of drug dealers, and made a lot of achievements in the army, and Wang Yue was also crowned with the title of "King of Soldiers".
This mission is very simple, according to the above, archaeologists excavated a set of "oracle bone inscriptions" of "divine beast totem" in Yin Ruins, which is of great scientific value, but it was stolen by cultural relics dealers and will be stolen across the border today.
Before the mission, Wang Yue looked at the slides of these oracle bones in the squadron, each tortoise shell was carved with mysterious characters, Wang Yue couldn't understand it, but the picture on it was extremely realistic, for example, the divine beast "Xuanwu" totem, standing proudly on a snowfield, a "Xuanwu", the dragon head turtle body, especially commendable, the totem was carved with mysterious symbols, dense, but there was no sense of chaos, there was a kind of natural mystery of Taoism.
Wang Yue couldn't help but admire the artistic skills of the ancestors in painting, it was really not simple, such a perfect painting could be carved on the tortoise shell, not to mention the jade-like tortoise shell, but in terms of pattern, this is a treasure, and it must not be allowed to flow abroad.
Adi's ears suddenly stood up, apparently someone had come. Wang Yue doted on the old guy police dog "Adi" beside him, Adi calmed down under Wang Yue's comfort, and there was not much time, and three people flashed out of the tree-lined path, each carrying a leather bag on their backs.
"Action!" With the squadron leader's order, Wang Yue and the others rushed out fiercely, and the three of them were subdued in an instant.
The leather bag was opened, and an antique sandalwood box was taken out. At the signal of the squadron leader, Wang Yue opened the sandalwood box, and five pieces of fluorescent tortoise shells were stacked inside, exactly what he was looking for.
"Woo!" At this moment, Adi barked wildly and anxiously bit the sandalwood box in Wang Yue's hand.
"Get out of the way, bomb!" Wang Yue's face suddenly turned pale, and there was a fist-sized bomb hidden under the tortoise shell, which was activated the moment the box was opened. Wang Yue swooped, holding the sandalwood box and rolling down towards the deep ditch next to the woods with Adi. Then, a sky-high flame ignited, and in a trance, Wang Yue vaguely saw Adi and himself being annihilated by the flames in an instant.
※※※※※※
"Am I going to die!" Wang Yue opened his eyes and found himself lying in a room, the linen quilt looked extremely shabby, and the surrounding layout seemed to have returned to ancient times.
"Young master, you're awake!" The door was opened, and a delicate girl wearing a cyan ancient costume linen dress walked in with a wooden bowl, and when she saw Wang Yue wake up, she let out an exclamation.
"What kind of language is this, why can I understand it!" The girl's language was obviously not the language of the earth, which immediately made Wang Yue stunned.
Then, a large amount of information instantly came to his mind, almost making Wang Yue faint, and it took half a day for Wang Yue to slowly digest this information.
"My soul possessed this body called Wang Yue, and I gained his memory. This thing was very abrupt, and Wang Yue didn't know what to do.
His parents, relatives, and comrades-in-arms in the army were all haunted in his heart, and Wang Yue was silent for a long time, so he could only silently shed tears. However, Wang Yue was already calm and tenacious, so he calmed down after a short time and began to think carefully about his situation.
After absorbing the memory of this person named Wang Yue, he also had a preliminary understanding of this world, in Wang Yue's view, this world is a mythical barbaric era, and everything has broken his cognition.
From memory, I know that there are many races in this world, the demon beast race, the half-orc race and other races are extremely powerful, and the human race is short and weak, unable to use the spiritual power of heaven and earth.
In Wang Yue's view, the civilization of this world is very different from the earth, and this is a fantasy mythological civilization, which makes Wang Yue, who likes this kind of life in his bones, have a faint excitement in his sadness.
The body occupied by Wang Yue is the grandson of the city lord of White Wolf City, the city lord of White Wolf City has five sons, Wang Yue's father is the fifth son of the city lord, when Wang Yue was five years old, he went out on a mission and never returned, Wang Yue's mother died of sadness. Since then, Wang Yue has been homeless and has become an orphan under the fence. Except for Ling'er, who was adopted by Wang Yue's mother since childhood, and Xu Fu, who was rescued by his father, Wang Yue hardly cared about anyone.
White Wolf City was built by the Wang family, the Bai family and the Xiao family, and the position of the city lord was held by the three families who cultivated as the highest, and now Wang Yue's grandfather Wang Tianhao cultivated as the highest and served as the city lord. However, the Bai family and the Xiao family are also extremely powerful in White Wolf City, and they are not weaker than the Wang family in the slightest, and the three families have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. White Wolf City is located in the Western Regions of the Eastern Continent, and the Western Regions are composed of dozens of cities forming a free alliance, so this place is also called the Free City-State.
When Wang Yue was fifteen years old, Xu Fu raised money in many ways, sold all his belongings, collected 10,000 gold coins, and carried out activities up and down, and finally won a blood contract beast for Wang Yue, and the Wang family transferred a white wolf from White Wolf Mountain to give Wang Yue, originally as Wang Yue's direct son, at the age of sixteen, he should be equipped with a brute beast with higher qualifications, but someone in the Wang family deliberately made trouble and did not give Wang Yue a chance at all. After Xu Fu's activities, he was equipped with a brute beast with low qualifications and a very low chance of success in signing a blood contract.
Although Xu Fu knew that this was someone from the Wang family, as Wang Yue, he was not qualified to bargain at all, but Wang Yue successfully signed a blood contract with the white wolf and became a brute beast master, which made Xu Fu very pleased.
Of course, being able to become a beast master is also a one-in-a-hundred qualification. Wang Yue signed a blood contract and became a junior brute beast master, his momentum rose, and he was immediately arrogant and domineering, molesting Bai Ling'er of the Bai family on the street, and was seriously injured by Xiao Lei's righteousness and bravery, Wang Yue was angry and summoned a white wolf to fight, and was torn by Xiao Lei's blood contract beast money leopard.
These words were only circulated in the market, and Wang Yue absorbed the memory and knew the specific situation at that time. can only say that Wang Yue is stupid, Bai Ling'er is the daughter of the head of the Bai family, and her talent is extraordinary, how can she fall in love with Wang Yue! This is someone deliberately set a trap, Bai Ling'er used a little means to let Wang Yue fall into the gentle trap, and then the thief shouted to catch the thief, Xiao Lei saw righteousness and courageously abolished Wang Yue.
And from the memory of the dead Wang Yue, I know that Wang Yue actually had a marriage contract with Bai Yan of the Bai family, and this marriage contract was made by Bai Yan's father and Wang Yue's father. And Bai Yan was selected by Peacock City at the age of twelve, and now she is a registered student of the Heavenly Dome Beast Academy, with a great future, ranking first among the younger generation of White Wolf City. Wang Yue faintly felt that the death of Wang Yue was framed, and it was likely to be related to this matter.
"Young Master, let's drink some porridge! The Blood Pact Beast is dead, you can sign it again. Take care of your body first. Ling'er next to him looked at Wang Yue in a daze and wept, and didn't dare to say much, until Wang Yue eased up and said timidly and softly.
Wang Yue nodded, and slowly drank the gruel handed over by Ling'er. Ling'er is two years younger than Wang Yue, adopted by Wang Yue's mother in infancy, both of them were raised by Xu Fu, the previous Wang Yue either beat or scolded him, and his attitude was extremely bad; Wang Yue looked at Ling'er's eyes with fear and worry, and his heart contracted suddenly, this is a girl who is only fourteen years old, due to malnutrition, her body is still very thin, but a pair of smart eyes can already read words and feelings, it is the child of a poor family who has long been in charge.
This made the current Wang Yue curse fiercely in his heart that the dead Wang Yue was a "dead pervert" who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, and he was a lot more relieved to devour his soul.
Drinking some gruel, the aching body gradually regained a little strength, Wang Yue began to close his eyes and carefully refer to the accompanying blood contract technique, after all, in this cruel world, becoming a beast master is the foundation of his own life.
Gathering his mind and cultivating according to the law of the accompanying blood contract technique, Wang Yue suddenly felt that this technique was extremely mysterious, and suddenly, a large blood seal phantom appeared in his mind, which seemed to contain the power of the Heavenly Dao, making people feel extremely sacred.
As a child of the Wang family, although his status is low, he is no stranger to cultivating the associated blood contract technique, because Xu Fu used to be a high-level brute beast master, but his three blood contract beasts were killed at the same time, and the condensed blood contract seal was destroyed, and the cultivation was completely abolished. But his knowledge is still there, and under the teaching of words and deeds, Wang Yue has been familiar with the cultivation method of the blood contract technique since he was a child.
The cultivation of the accompanying blood contract technique is mainly to temper the blood contract seal, the quality of the blood contract seal is improved, and the cultivation of the beast master is constantly improved, the blood contract beasts signed will gradually increase, and the combat power of the beast master will gradually increase.
Of course, signing a blood contract with a beast is not only to command the beast to fight, but also to use its qi and blood power to strengthen one's own cultivation method. This cultivation method has evolved to this day, and it can be said that a hundred schools of thought are contending and improving day by day.
The cultivation method handed down by the ancestors of the Wang family is summarized and perfected by the ancestors of the Wang family, and this technique can dominate one side and govern dozens of small tribes, which shows that the Wang family's cultivation method is extraordinary.
According to the introduction of the book "Beast Genealogy", the blood contract beast of the Wang family, the white wolf, whose bloodline belongs to the spirit beast level, ranks fifty-six among the spirit beasts. This kind of ranking is divided according to the highest level of cultivation that the white wolf can reach, that is to say, if the white wolf of the Wang family does not have mutations and opportunities, he can only stop at the cultivation of spirit beasts, and if he wants to evolve into a more advanced Xuan Beast, the chance is almost zero.
And the brute beast has to go through a long evolution before it can stimulate the power of the bloodline, swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, and evolve into a spirit beast with the control of spiritual power.
Because the human race cannot directly absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth, when the blood contract beast evolves into a spirit beast, the beast master can comprehend the method of operating the spiritual power of the five elements through the blood contract seal, and use the blood contract beast as a bridge to borrow the spiritual power of heaven and earth for his own use, and become a spirit beast master, so that he can truly embark on the road of cultivation, which is really extremely mysterious.
It's just that, with Wang Yue's status, he hasn't obtained the cultivation method of the Spirit Beast Master from his family, and Xu Fu only obtained the cultivation method of the Beast Master from Wang Yue's father and passed it on to Wang Yue.
Wang Yue used the method to decide, poured the essence and spirit into the virtual seal, and operated the "psychic" method to communicate with the blood contract beast space, because once the virtual seal was formed, it would be accompanied by a blood contract beast space of about ten square meters, and this space was the parasitic space of the blood contract beast.
But at this time, Wang Yue was stunned, there should only be dozens of square meters of blood contract beast space, but now it has expanded to hundreds of miles, the black land has no grass, a plateau with a depth of about thirty or forty kilometers stands up in the center of the space, in the center of the plateau, a "Xuanwu" totem about three zhang high stands on the ground, the dragon's head towers, proud of the world, the turtle body is entrenched, thick as a mountain.
On this totem were carved countless mystical runes, which were the totems on the blue tortoise shell that Wang Yue had seen.
"Could it be that this is derived from the oracle bone inscription?" Wang Yue was suddenly puzzled, the moment his soul thought came into contact with this totem, a stream of consciousness was instantly injected into the totem, and it seemed that in an instant, Wang Yue and this totem became one.
In Wang Yue's mind, a picture emerged, the ancient land, the fierce beasts were rampant, the ancestors were brutally killed under the ravages of the fierce beasts, and in order to survive, the ancestors raised beasts to resist the enemy. But in the face of fierce saber-toothed tigers and giant mountain-like mammoths, the dragon soared for nine days...... The power of humans to raise beasts is too small.
Finally, in the struggle for survival for tens of thousands of years, the beast spirit totem was erected, and the ancestors carved mysterious runes on the totem, and worshiped the totem with various rituals. The great sages of the Terrans controlled the guardian beasts to protect the Terrans, and the Terrans began to flourish.
At this time, Wang Yue's mind was very confused, but he clarified three points, one is that this totem contains the wisdom of the earth's ancestors, it can contain and control the guardian beast, so that the beast becomes extremely powerful; second, this oracle bone inscription has been fused with his own blood contract beast space, and cannot be separated; third, this totem needs energy to play a role, these energies are soul power and spiritual power between heaven and earth; fourth, this oracle bone totem is a Xuanwu totem, and the attribute is water, that is to say, this totem has a strong nourishing effect on the five elements of water demon beasts.
Moreover, the runes on this totem are extremely mysterious, and they are the crystallization of the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao recorded by the ancestors of the earth, and Wang Yue does not know how to activate these runes.
At the same time, Wang Yue was also extremely puzzled, why these totems lost their utility on the earth, how the ancestors disappeared in the long river of history, and why these totems could be combined with his own blood contract beast space and turn the void into reality, Wang Yue could not know. Wang Yue speculated that it may be because the aura of the earth has disappeared, and the existence of these totems cannot be carried, these tortoise shells are just a means for the ancestors to treasure the precious heritage, in this world, the aura is sufficient, and with the guidance of the blood contract seal, the prototype has been transformed.
At the same time, Wang Yue also wondered whether the ancestors of the earth had mastered the cultivation method of using beasts as a bridge to strengthen themselves, which was unknown. However, the companion blood contract technique of this world is to use beasts as a bridge to step into the path of cultivation, and the direction of these two civilizations seems to coincide here in Wang Yue, if it can be used, use totems to cultivate and control beasts, and use beasts to strengthen itself, it will create a new civilization, the road of a human race strong.
At this time, under the totem, where Wang Yue's blood contract beast white wolf was dying, the mysterious pattern engraved on the totem was rippling with a blue halo, enveloping the white wolf whose throat was torn, the broken throat of the white wolf had healed, and its wound was slowly recovering.
"It's amazing!" When Wang Yue withdrew the white wolf into the blood contract space, its fate was already hanging by a thread, and it was impossible for it to live.
Fused with the Xuanwu totem, Wang Yue understood that this is the anti-heaven effect of the totem; at this time, the totem has only recovered a little energy under the nourishment of the spiritual power of this world, and in order to stimulate the effect of the totem greatly, it is necessary to provide more spiritual power and pure soul power. According to the totem's reminder, the methods of obtaining soul power include "worship" and "sacrifice", and for Wang Yue, the current method that can be used is "worship".
Of course, it is not Wang Yue himself who worships, because Wang Yue is the master of the totem, and it is useless to worship, but to let others worship, so as to obtain faith and soul power. With the capacity of the space, one hundred and ten people can be recruited into it at present, and it is simple to get some people into this world, there is a slave market in White Wolf City, and there are often wars among various tribes, and those weak tribes are often destroyed, and the clansmen become slaves, as long as there are gold coins, they can be purchased. However, how to raise these people, with Wang Yue's current financial resources, I am afraid that it is a huge problem.
Wang Yue withdrew his divine consciousness from the space, and his heart was mixed, happy that his Blood Pact Beast was not dead, and that he had a strange Blood Pact Beast space, which was the basis for his survival in this world;
"Bang!" The door of the house was gently opened, and a man about fifty years old quietly came to Wang Yue's bed, followed by the silent Ling'er.
In fact, Wang Yue was still a little nervous in his heart, after all, he was an "impostor", and this person was Xu Fu, who had been dependent on Wang Yue since he was a child.
"Young Master, fortunately, you have signed the Blood Pact Beast for a short time, and the associated fusion degree is low, so the damage to the 'False Seal' is not great, if the fusion time is long, I am afraid that this time you will break the path of cultivating the Beast Master." Staying in the green mountains is not worrying about running out of firewood, as long as the young master has firm confidence, he will definitely be able to make a comeback. I know that this incident was secretly instigated by someone, and the young master was wronged. Xu Fu comforted softly.
"Thank you, Fu Bo!" Wang Yue listened to Fu Bo's words, his heart couldn't help but warm, and he immediately blurted out.
"Young master, this is what an old slave should do. Xu Fu suddenly burst into tears. In the past, Wang Yue shouted and drank it, but today, Wang Yue's eyes made him feel that Wang Yue had changed his sex, and he was sincerely moved.
"Bang!" At this moment, the door of the small courtyard was kicked open, and the three of them broke into the house where Wang Yue was located one after the other.
"Great butler!" Xu Fu's body trembled, and he got up in fear to greet him.
"Wang Yue, you molested Miss Bai on the street, provoked the relationship between the Wang family and the Bai family, and insulted the court, and his crime should be punished, but he was a direct descendant of the Wang family, and after consulting the elders of the family, he was allowed to make meritorious service for his crimes, and he was limited to one month to set off to the Tianji Plateau as the lord, and led the Bison Department and the Green Wolf Department to defend the Bison Plain territory. The chief housekeeper Wang Quan stretched out his hand to push Fu Bo away, and looked gloomily at Wang Yue who was lying on the bed and said sharply.
"Great steward, I beg you, I beg you, you can't do this. Going to the Tianji Plateau is to send the young master to death, please let the young master go, let the young master go!" When Fu Bo heard this, he immediately knelt down and begged.
"Xu Fu, this is the decision of the Great Elder and the Deputy City Lord, and no one can change it, unless Wang Yue doesn't want to be a descendant of the Wang family. Moreover, the Tianji Plateau is the territory of the Wang family's border fortress, and its location is important, and it is the trust of the elders in Wang Yue that made him the lord. Take the order!" Wang Quan said with an iron card still on Wang Yue's bed.
"Great steward, the young master's blood contract beast is dead, and now he is sent to carry out the mission, can the family give another brute beast and let the young master sign the blood contract. Xu Fu pleaded.
"Give the brute beast, eggplant! The brute beast of your family is a turnip and cabbage, whatever you want, it costs tens of thousands of gold coins to train a white wolf to become a brute beast, and you want to spoil another one if you spoil one. Go to the Tianji Plateau on time, if I can keep my royal family's territory, I can apply to the elders for a blood contract beast. Wang Quan said coldly.
"Big butler, you can't be like this, without the Blood Pact Beast, the young master is an ordinary person who has no power to restrain the chicken, where to go is to die!" Xu Fu fell to the ground and hugged Wang Quan's thigh.
