Chapter 1: The Black Book
87_87380 Yanguo Yunzhou Mansion, Luojia.
The Luo family is a martial arts family, although it is not well-known in the entire Great Yan Kingdom, it is still the number one in Yunzhou.
The head of the family, Luo Lie, is a master who has opened up the second vein of Ren Du, and the family martial arts Luo Yanbu and the Seven Illusion Palms are quite unique.
Luo Lie has no children under his knees, and only gave birth to a daughter Luo Xingye at the age of thirty-five, with a beautiful appearance, she is a famous beauty in Yunzhou, and she is talented, and the result of the qualification test is that she can surpass the upper five grades and reach the lower six qualifications.
Luo Lie has two younger brothers, both of whom have passed the six veins, and they are almost masters of Rendu, and the second brother Luo Xiong has two sons, the eldest son Luo Xingyao and the second son Luo Xingyun.
The third brother, Luo Hu, has a son named Luo Xinghui.
Luo Xingyao's fifth-grade qualification is second only to Luo Xingye in the Luo family, and Luo Xingyun and Luo Xinghui are both lower-fifth-grade qualifications, and they are also dragons among people.
There is a teacher at home, not only teaching a few young masters and young ladies to practice martial arts, but also responsible for teaching the relatives of the Luo family.
The Luo family is everyone, located in Luojiazhuang, five hundred miles north of Yunzhou Mansion, the population of the village is more than 8,000, of which the people surnamed Luo account for 70% of the entire Zhuangzi, some are a little related, and more people are not related.
Many of them were given surnames by the Luo family, and their predecessors may have been slaves, exiled prisoners, or orphans.
In short, within a radius of hundreds of miles from Luojiazhuang, Luo Lie's Luo family is the king, and the rest of the people can be said to be domestic slaves or people.
Ten days ago, dark clouds covered the sky, the darkness was not good, Luo Lie thought that there was a vision in the sky, Zhuang Nei must make a move, the biennial Zhuang disciple selection was held a year earlier, it has ended ten days ago, and young boys and girls of the right age have participated in the qualification test.
The qualifications are divided into nine grades, and the first, second and third grades have basically no value for training, and the four grades can be cultivated in the village.
For a while, some people are happy and some are worried, those who have reached the four-grade qualification will be focused on training by the village's positioning as martial arts disciples, and those below the four-grade will become an ordinary person.
In a small courtyard in Luojiazhuang, there is a tree in the courtyard, the tree is wrapped with cloth, and there are two sandbags hanging, there are stains of blood on it, the bark has fallen off, and there are footprints around the trees and sandbags, and the ground is sunken down more than ten centimeters, which shows how hard the owner has worked.
The yard was deserted, and a thin layer of dust had fallen from the hut, and no one had moved around for days.
Luo Xiu lay on the bed, covered with the quilt, and opened his eyes slightly.
There was a sharp pain in his head, and he was resisting the sharp pain with extremely strong willpower, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from crying out.
Luo Xiu is an orphan, picked up by the owner since he was a child, given the surname Luo, originally lived in the Luo family's mansion, and later had a dispute with several young masters of the Luo family because of his love for Luo Xingye, the eldest lady of the Luo family, and was finally driven out and lived in Luojiazhuang.
Luo Xiu has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he thinks that he has a firm heart for martial arts, and his previous ideal is to be able to achieve something in martial arts and be worthy of Luo Xingye, before the test, he thought so.
He still clearly remembers that the test ten days ago was almost a major change that determined his life fate, and his qualifications were only the top three grades!
The upper three grades and the lower four grades have only one small stage, but they are like the difference between heaven and earth.
Martial arts are not something that poor people can do, unless you are talented enough to be cultivated in Zhuangnai, because martial arts cultivation requires a lot of resources, pills, weapons, talismans, exercises, etc., and cultivating an ordinary martial artist is enough to bankrupt a wealthy family more than ten times.
And his three-grade qualifications are not enough to make the Luo family look at him differently.
These are not what Luo Xiu should care about at the moment, he slept heavily after testing his qualifications, he didn't want to give up on himself, his heart towards martial arts was extremely firm, he wouldn't give up because of his lack of talent, he just wanted to take a break.
On the way back that night, he picked up a black book in his yard and took it back to lie on the bed to look at it, not wanting to hurt his hand because of boxing, and the blood dripped on the black book.
The black book disappeared in a streamer, and then appeared in his mind.
Bursts of extremely intense pain were tearing Luo Xiu's soul, and the pain was ten million times stronger than when he was bitten by the demon wolf, even if Luo Xiu thought he was strong-willed, he fainted in an instant.
Even in the process of coma, he was still tormented by the sharp pain from the depths of his soul, and the black book seemed to be embedded in his soul alive, like a rusty chainsaw, pulling his * back and forth, and magnifying that feeling ten million times!
The sweat all over his body wet the bedding, Luo Xiu woke up in a coma again, woke up and fell into a coma again, he couldn't shout, he couldn't move, the only thing he could do was to keep a little clear of his mind, that is, he must not give up!
Give up, maybe die!
He didn't know who his parents were since he was a child, he lived in the mountains since he was a child, and he still had a vague memory, when he was three years old, he was pulled into the water by the water snake, although it was just a small snake, but he was also a behemoth for young children, at that time he did not give up, and bit the snake seven inches alive, and climbed up from the water before he was drowned.
When he was four years old, he was pierced in the leg by a porcupine spine, he did not dare to pull out the porcupine's thorns, so he dragged the injured leg and crawled in the mountains and forests, and still carried the little porcupine on his leg, until he found the healing herbs, he stoned the porcupine to death, and then healed himself, and the blood loss made him unconscious for three days.
When he was five years old, he met a demon wolf cub, the wolf cub bit his waist, he stuck his body in the crack of the stone, and used a homemade stone knife to blind the wolf cub's eyes, but he didn't let the wolf cub take it away.
At the age of six, he was found by Luo Lie and brought back, no matter what the circumstances, Luo Xiu never gave up.
This time is no exception!
Time passed little by little, and Luo Xiu didn't even feel hungry, only pain!
He tried hard to remember the things that made him happy and used them to resist the pain, but over the years, except for the first meal he had at the Luo family, only when he was injured in a fight with the young master of the Luo family, Luo Xingye gave him a pair of bone-setting medicine, which was the only happy thing.
The girl's voice and smile kept emerging, Luo Xiu had experienced the warmth and coldness of people over the years, of course he understood that he was not worthy of Luo Xingye, but this was the only thing he was happy about, he could only think like this, and he even thought that if Luo Xingye came to see him at this time, then the pain might not be so unbearable.
The first day hurt a lot, he gritted his teeth and survived, and no one came to see him.
The third day was particularly painful, and he vaguely remembered in his coma that after three days, no one came to see him.
On the fifth day, the pain reached its peak, and he hoped that someone would come, and whoever was good to him would be good to him for the rest of his life or no one.
On the seventh day, the pain had subsided only slightly, and he was still alone.
On the eighth day, he finally realized that in this world, after all, strength is king, and everything else is illusory.
On the ninth day he was a little used to the pain, and he knew that something had changed about him.
The tenth day of coma finally ended.
After coming to his senses, the pain became more obvious, but Luo Xiu was able to hold on.
The ten long days were a hundred times longer than he felt during the years he had lived in the mountains, so long that even Luo Xiu's will did not want to try it a second time.
His eyelids twitched slightly, a muscle spasm from the pain.
He could clearly feel that in his mind, a black book with only three pages was quietly floating there.
It should be in the mind, in my own mind, and there is nothing else around but the book.
Luo Xiu also felt that after ten days of struggle with this strange book, his spiritual strength was much stronger!
The so-called qualification test, in fact, is to test the strength of people's dantian, everyone who is interested in martial arts, will cultivate a sense of qi at a young age, condense dantian, Luo Xiu is a weakness in this aspect, ten days ago when the test, he stood in front of the magic stele that is said to be a master of the Luo family, and he clearly felt the tremor of his dantian.
The stone tablet emitted an inexplicable pressure, everyone needed to mobilize the dantian qi to fight, and Luo Xiu tried his best to mobilize his poor dantian qi to fight, and he only lasted for thirty-nine breaths before he could hold on.
Ten or less is recognized as having no talent, ten to twenty is one grade, twenty to thirty is two grades, and so on, Luo Xiu's thirty-nine breaths are the upper three grades, which is only one step away from the fourth grade qualification.
This step becomes the end of the world.
And now, he was extremely sure that if he stood in front of that stone monument again, he would be able to last longer, conservatively estimated, at least ten breaths longer!
This black book can actually nourish the breath!
The talent of a martial artist is extremely important, and those who lack talent cannot use dantian qi to open up the meridians, that is, they cannot break through the realm of physical training and enter the period of meridians.
If you can't pass through the pulse, you can't convert it into true yuan internal force without dantian qi, after all, you are just an ordinary person, even if you complete the physical training, you are just an ordinary person with a strong body.
And this black book has actually been nourishing his dantian qi, so doesn't it mean that his current qualifications are at least the fourth grade, and they are still increasing at an extremely slow rate.
Luo Xiu secretly clenched his fists, even if his limbs were weak and hungry now, this grip was very powerful!
With his will, if the talent is improved, there will definitely be a future!
He sank his mind into the black book again, and he vaguely felt that this black book should have a bigger secret!
The book was only three pages, and he slowly opened it!
