Chapter 2: The Mark of the Mandate of Heaven
It's been a week since that incident, and Yang Long's arm has been almost fine after treatment, but because the broken bones are difficult to heal, the cultivation has been temporarily slowed down. As the white-bearded old man said, if it is not treated in time, it is estimated that the arm will be useless.
At the beginning, although Yang Long decisively gave up resistance at a critical time, turned defense into attack, and attacked the eyes of the wild boar with his right hand, the remaining collision force of the wild boar also indirectly hit Yang Long. He had no choice but to use his injured left arm to block in front of him, and although the wild boar was dead, the force of the collision was not something he could resist with his injured left arm.
It was fortunate that the arm was broken, and he finally saved his life.
Recalling that battle, Yang Long felt bitter in his heart. It was just a wild boar, and if it was a creature with a Mandate of Heaven sigil, I was afraid that Yang Long would have to die of hatred. If the white wolf and the tiger are fierce beasts, then the beast with the seal of the destiny is the devil, even if it is a seemingly weak rabbit. Compared to the two, the tiger is like a docile cat, not even a cat.
It's a magical world, Yang Long is lying on the bed, his eyes closed, taking a deep breath, and falling into deep thought. The smell and air here are completely different, there is no dirt from the previous life, there is no noisy city full of gasoline smell, it is like an isolated paradise.
This is his only secret, Yang Long came to this world with the memories of his previous life, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary student living in college, and an accident brought him to this world. In this regard, Yang Long didn't know whether to rejoice or call it unfortunate. Now that there is another alternative change, he will naturally not waste this new journey again, he will live a good life and live vigorously.
From the moment he was conscious, he knew how to look at this strange world with a cold eye. Yang Long was brought up by Whitebeard, he didn't know who the parents who gave birth to him were, and he didn't know if Whitebeard was his relative, but Yang Long had an inexplicable feeling for Whitebeard.
Since he was a child, every day of exercise, every day to surpass himself has become his only pleasure, this is a world where the strong are respected, just like the hunting beasts in the ancient era, the strong survive, and the weak are eliminated. He wants to become a strong man, and after being reborn, he wants to get rid of the decadence of his previous life. But the reality is always unsatisfactory, no matter how hard he tries, the answer he gets is that he has no Heavenly Mandate Mark and cannot cultivate.
What it means to not be able to cultivate, he knows very well. In this vast world, there are many powerful people, and in the eyes of those strong people, those who can't cultivate can only be reduced to ordinary people, or even ant-like existence. Yang Long once asked Whitebeard how he could cultivate. But there has always been only one answer, that is, those who do not have the mark of destiny can only be reduced to mortals.
It wasn't until now that Yang Long understood that the Mandate of Heaven Mark was innate, and it was a special rune carved by the force of nature in the middle of the eyebrows. Of course, this Mandate of Heaven Seal is not something that is born at birth, and the opening of the Mandate of Heaven Seal is generally triggered by special means around the age of six.
There are two kinds of Mandate Seals, one variant and the other natural. For example, the Mandate of Heaven mark of the wind attribute, which belongs to the natural system. As a result, those who possess this sigil can control a certain range of wind attribute power that can be used to aid their own battles. According to Whitebeard, this ability is cultivated to the end, and he can control the power of all wind attributes in heaven and earth, and when he moves, the wind and clouds will change. And the mutant system, this kind of destiny mark is rare, but every time it is born, it is a very terrifying existence.
People regard the body as a measure and the soul as a capacity, and while they continue to grow themselves, the seal of the Mandate of Heaven also increases. This kind of mysterious and mysterious cultivation method is called "seal cultivation".
At the age of six, the seal of the Mandate of Heaven will appear, but it will not be obvious. At that time, as long as you carefully comprehend the affinity of it, you can find out its Heavenly Mandate Exclusive, and then continue to grow through a special cultivation method, and Yang Long once witnessed the whole process of the opening of Pang Hu's Heavenly Mandate Seal.
Panghu is a wood attribute, and wood is the mark of the destiny of nature. At that time, Pang Hu was not sure, until Whitebeard gave Pang Hu Cen Lingcao, his affinity for Mu greatly improved. Now, although he didn't feel any special abilities, Pang Hu's cultivation speed had significantly accelerated. Originally, Pang Hu's physique was already beyond ordinary people, but after the Mandate of Heaven Seal awakened, his body became more vigorous, and his physique was as strong as a calf, and the strength of his eight-year-old body was comparable to that of an adult.
Yang Long once asked Whitebeard if he could awaken the Mandate Mark by taking that kind of spirit grass. This cold joke, it wasn't until Yang Long tried it countless times that he realized that he had become so stupid. Cen Ling Grass is just a kind of Qi and Yang Aphrodisiac Spirit Grass, although this kind of grass is rare, it can still be found in this forest where Yang Long is trying.
This kind of person who has just appeared in the Mandate of Heaven can awaken with a little assistance in a special way, but everyone's Mandate Mark is different, and the natural awakening method will be different. Unless the Yang Dragon is also a wood attribute, Cen Ling Grass can only be used to replenish qi and blood. According to Whitebeard, some people with good qualifications can awaken on their own without assistance, and some will only awaken after arriving at some special venues, so there is no single way to awaken.
The cultivation of forgetting to sleep and eat every day, the understanding of the heart every day, and then the continuous self-comfort every day. Watching an individual around you begin to surpass themselves while they become weaker and weaker is an incomparable blow. Yang Long was now eight years old, but he couldn't sense any of his affinity attributes. The best age for Destiny to awaken is between the ages of six and seven, but those who exceed this natural age stage are reduced to mortals.
Yang Long shook his head vigorously, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a bright smile. In his previous life, he didn't have any special abilities, maybe God is only suitable for him to be a mortal! In Yang Long's mind, a figure appeared, with the anger of Zilan's little girl, the shouting of the white-bearded old man, and the joy of everyone in this village, and on the other side of the distance, there was also an unknown memory fragment.
Although there were some complaints in his heart, Yang Long quickly adjusted. In fact, after being accustomed to the busy life of the previous life, it may not be a good thing to come to this indisputable village and live a peaceful and ordinary life.
"Bang bang bang" frequent knocks on the door interrupted Yang Long's contemplation.
Yang Long shook off the cranky thoughts in his head and got up to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, a white shadow flashed in, accompanied by a crisp cheer.
"I'm fat. ”
"Want Want"
A fluffy white puppy also shook its head and tail and broke in, and it seemed that even it had become familiar with the road.
Hearing this voice, Yang Long knew who was coming with his eyes closed, and as for the fluffy puppy, it was picked up by Zilan in the trial forest a week ago. At first, Zilan thought it was a lost wolf cub, but now that she brought it home and took a closer look, she found that this little guy had his ears lobes, his plush and loose, and he looked like a puppy, which was not comparable to a fierce wolf at all.
However, the puppy was well-behaved and cute, and it was pitiful, and Zilan was reluctant to throw it back to the mountain. So, it was adopted and renamed Xiaobai.
As soon as Zilan broke into Yanglong's house, she was like her own home, lying on Yanglong's big bed and laughing with Xiaobai without any care.
While hip-hopping, he complained to Yang Long, "Brother Yang, you don't know what today's task is! Running ten kilometers with a weight of ten kilograms every day, and after coming back, I have to fight the green wolf, participate in enlightenment, and practice the boxing method taught by Grandpa Bai. This is too unusual, just the weight is not something that children like us can bear, let alone a beast like a green wolf. ”
Saying this, Zilan's pink little face suddenly became angry.
Hearing this, Yang Long couldn't help but sigh slightly, carrying a weight of ten kilograms is a compulsory course every day, and this rule was set a year ago.
Before, Yang Long was still able to keep up with the children's cultivation progress, but later, almost several children in the village had already awakened their talents. As a result, the amount of cultivation has become even larger, and it is a great burden for a person like him who has not awakened the talent, and this burden can even crush an adult, not to mention his body that is only eight years old.
Thinking of this, Yang Long smiled bitterly. He didn't get anything out of his daily cultivation, and sometimes he wanted to give up this kind of futile cultivation, but when he saw that the other children were practicing so hard, his self-esteem didn't allow it to rise.
Zi Lan looked at the helplessness on Yang Long's face and spit out the tip of her pink tongue. She knew that this was the pain in Yang Long's heart, and she gritted her teeth and worked hard to cultivate with Pang Hu every day, and when she fainted, she continued to cultivate, and sometimes even she felt distressed.
Zilan jumped out of bed, looking at Yang Long's dull mood, her eyes rolled and said, "Brother Yang, tell you good news." ”
"Grandpa Bai said that he was going to Mozhu Town to buy some things tomorrow, and he planned to take a few little ones to see the world. ”
Sure enough, as soon as he heard the news, Yang Long couldn't bear it anymore, and the gloom on his face swept away. Completely forgot about the initial displeasure, and the questions continued one after another.
"Is it Mozhu Town, not far from our village?"
"Yes"
"Is the old man going to take us there?"
"Uh-huh"
"Is that me, too?"
"Uh-huh"
Seeing the little girl happily nodding her little head, Yang Long's excited heart could not be calmed.
Since coming to this world, Yang Long has stayed in this village and never went out. He is not only full of curiosity and yearning for the outside, but also a trace of fear of the unknown. He really wanted to understand the world, but since he didn't awaken the Mandate Seal, he gradually had a distant idea of this dream. After all, the outside world and here are the difference between heaven and earth. Now Zilan's news is really too important to him. Even if he can't be at the top of this world, then he hopes to have a chance to look up to this corner.
