Chapter 2: The Sealed Boy
Heavenly Star Continent, Shenwu Kingdom, Tianyu City.
"It hurts, it hurts......"
Jiang Yi opened his eyes in a daze, and felt a tearing pain all over his body, especially his head. He barely supported his upper body, grinning and looking around, only to find that he was still lying on the ridge of the medicine field in the west mountain of the Jiang family.
Reaching out and touching the exaggerated meat bun on his forehead that was swollen like an egg, Jiang Yi's heart was suddenly filled with irrepressible anger. Early this morning, when he rushed to count the harvest of the family's Xishan Yao Field, he happened to meet Jiang Ruhu and several other young masters of the family who were stealing medicine and wanted to exchange it for pocket money. This kind of deceitful behavior is generally not too serious, and the family stewards turn a blind eye to it, and they don't see it.
But Jiang Yi, who had only taken over this job for a few days, didn't know the inside story, and couldn't help but persuade him when he met him, but he didn't expect to be beaten by several people from the other party, and he was in a coma until he woke up.
"Jiang Ruhu, just to persuade you, you are so ruthless...... Hmph, one day the master will ask you back with interest!"
Muttering a few words viciously, Jiang Yi wanted to stand up, but before he could stand firmly, he stumbled in pain and almost fell again. His body was covered with wounds, large and small, and the convulsions were so convulsive that his delicate little face was almost deformed, and his head was still groggy.
It's a pity that apart from scolding his mother two sentences afterwards and silently adding an oath in his heart to settle accounts after the autumn, what can he do......
The Jiang family, where Jiang Yi is located, is one of the five major families in Tianyu City, and there are many children in the clan, and the rank is extremely strict.
The most noble among the younger generation of the Jiang family is naturally the young master with various blood relations, followed by ordinary children who are not related by blood. Among them, a direct bloodline young master like the eldest young master, as well as a very small number of side young masters with outstanding talents, are undoubtedly the top-level existences. And Jiang Ruhu and the others, as a side young master, have average talents, so their status among the children of the Jiang family belongs to the second class.
As for Jiang Yi......
Although in a sense, he also bears the title of a sideline young master, his actual status is not much higher than that of the most ordinary low-level disciples. Especially in recent years, because of his status as a nominal young master, he has often been bullied by various clansmen, and he has been injured of varying degrees every time. This time, for example, he was beaten unconscious for a whole morning.
"Strength!"
"Strength!"
"I don't have strong strength! I, Jiang Yi, will be trampled under my feet by Jiang Ruhu's miscellaneous pieces for the rest of my life, and I will be humiliated in every way! This is not the life I want, absolutely not!" Thinking back to the scene in the morning, Jiang Yi's face burst with green tendons, his fists were clenched, and even his nails were deeply sunk into his palms.
He stubbornly raised his head, which he faintly felt getting heavier and heavier, ignoring the strange eyes of others, and limped home step by step. The huge pain along the way made his originally delicate and immature face extremely distorted with pain, and his eyes were full of resentment......
......
Twelve years ago, Jiang Yi, who was only three years old at the time, was carried back to the Jiang family by the Great Elder and became the most powerful outer gate of the Jiang family.
When he was five years old, he practiced basic martial arts like the other children in his clan. At that time, he showed an amazing understanding of martial arts, and all kinds of complicated and cumbersome basic moves could be seen at a glance, and he was still playing well, which made him a well-known genius boy of the Jiang family.
Two years later, however, everything was reversed......
When he was seven years old, the family practiced Yuan Li according to the usual **** children who had reached the age of seven, and they also specially gave Jiang Yi the human level water system heart method that only direct children could cultivate, "River Water Decision".
Subsequently, under the expectant gaze of countless people, Jiang Yi unexpectedly practiced hard for a whole month before he could barely refine a few traces of insignificant water system Yuan Force—even the most qualified ordinary child in the clan would only need three or five days to achieve this effect.
In the Heavenly Star Continent, everyone can refine the Yuan Force with the help of the most basic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, because only with a strong Yuan Force in the body can they exert all kinds of powerful martial arts powers, open mountains and crack stones, and fly away from the sky. But if you don't have Yuan Li, no matter how subtle the martial arts magic power is, even if you master the mantra of tens of thousands of martial arts, you can't use it, you can only be a waste!
Xiao Jiang Yi's martial arts comprehension and physical qualifications were actually one in the sky and the other on the ground? This shocked everyone in the Jiang family at that time!
After the results were confirmed, the Great Elder was furious and personally went to the Library Pavilion to take out all the dozens of cultivation methods that he could select within his authority, covering many fields, and asked Jiang Yi to try them book by book, department by department. Because even if Jiang Yi is suitable for cultivating the lowest level of mental method of a certain department, as long as he can have the speed of an ordinary person, with his martial arts understanding, he is still expected to become a talent.
Helpless......
Even though Xiao Jiang Yi had tried all the dozens of secret books and every other mental method, it took nearly a year, but there was still no miracle - the results he had accumulated by refining a month's Yuan Force were not even as good as some genius disciples cultivating for a day!
Why do these two extremes coexist in the world?
After the Great Elder was troubled, he finally thought of using Yuan Force to inspect Jiang Yi's body, and only then did he discover a shocking secret - on the periphery of Jiang Yi's dantian, there was actually a layer of seal, like a delicate film, which perfectly wrapped Jiang Yi's entire dantian space, filtering inside and outside, greatly reducing the speed of the Yuan force in and out of the dantian in his body!
In other words, this strange seal is the culprit behind Xiao Jiang Yiyuan's cultivation speed!
The Great Elder then drew the pattern of the seal through his inner vision, which looked like a mysterious and strange combination of dragon-shaped runes, but everyone couldn't understand what the rune combination was, let alone crack it......
After determining that Jiang Yi could not cultivate, the Great Elder who adopted him instantly aged more than ten years, and since then he has been closed all day long, flipping through all kinds of ancient talisman books, looking for rune masters everywhere, hoping to break the seal one day.
Time is like flowing water, when Jiang Yi was nine years old, the Great Elder once again left a letter and left the Jiang family. He left this time for six years, during which there was no news at all, as if the world had evaporated.
From a peerless genius to a waste, the strongest worship of the family also disappeared, which greatly damaged the strength of the Jiang family.
As the culprit, Jiang Yi was no longer treated by the top leaders of the Jiang family since then, even if he always insisted on cultivating, and in the six years since the Great Elder disappeared, his Yuan Power was raised from zero hardship to the first level of the Casting Ding Realm, his status in the clan was still declining again and again. Not only was he moved out of the Jiang family's backyard two years ago and moved into the west courtyard where the family's servants were, but even a few days ago, he was asked to take over half a year early that only the children of the family who had reached the age of sixteen and finally confirmed that they could not cultivate to the Casting Ding Realm would be responsible for chores such as counting the harvest of the family's medicine fields.
"Alas...... The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, no matter how much he recalls, it's useless, I don't know what my miserable situation will be seen by the little slave, and what I will worry about. ”
Thinking of the little slave, the hideous expression on Jiang Yi's face finally calmed down, and it seemed that there was no pain in his body anymore. Although the days are hard, he has never given up, and he has always felt that the most important reason why he still has the courage to continue to fight is this little maid who grew up with him, is like a brother and sister, never abandons him, and encourages and cheers him on weekdays.
......
"Bang!"
In a dilapidated small courtyard in the west courtyard of the Jiang family, the door was suddenly knocked open, and Jiang Yi, who almost didn't make it to his home, stumbled and stumbled into the door. His brow furrowed, his eyes were full of pain, and there were still traces of blood left on the corners of his mouth.
The room was deserted, there was no familiar dim candle flame, and there was no familiar weak figure, lying on the table and gasping for a while, Jiang Yicai trembled and lit the candle, but saw a note pressed on the table.
"There are nests and porridge in the pot, the little slave has gone to a relative's house, come back tomorrow, don't read it! Come on, young master!" The font is very ugly, crooked, and Jiang Yi's heart is sour after seeing it.
Relatives, this stupid girl......
Twelve years ago, when his mother died of illness in his hazy memory, he was carried to this Tianyu City by the Great Elder with his right hand, and the other child that the Great Elder was holding in his left hand at that time was the little slave. He and Xiao Nu didn't know anyone else at all in Tianyu City, except for the Jiang family's clansmen, and where did they come out of relatives?
Jiang Yi actually knew very well in his heart that in the past few years, he has become more and more unpopular with his family, and the monthly money given to him by the Jiang family has also decreased again and again. If it weren't for the fact that the little slave went out to work, not to mention the basic pills needed to assist in cultivation, I am afraid that it would be a problem to even replenish the meat consumed by the body for daily exercise......
Many times Jiang Yi also wanted to go out to work and earn some money to subsidize the family, but he was resolutely stopped by the small slaves. It's just a matter of saying that the affairs stipulated in the clan, he is the young master of the Jiang family, the young master will be a person who will do big things in the future, how can he go outside to do such a cheap chore?
"Big deal...... Young master, shitty young master, ha......ha
Jiang Yi laughed, his laughter was full of desolation, he staggered back to the bed and lay down, his head hurt more and more, as if he was about to explode in the next moment, and after a while he fell asleep again, not even eating the dinner in the pot.
This night, Jiang Yi had a dream......
When he opened his eyes, the little slave was cooking, and her body was washing vegetables with her back to him, looking so thin.
He just wanted to go up to help, but he saw a large pile of ancient books, and a slender and tall white-haired old man walked into the room, piled the books in his arms on the table, and told him with a serious expression that there was definitely one of these secret books suitable for his cultivation.
"Grandpa, it's really good that you're okay...... Jiang Yi called out in his sleep with tears on his face.
At this time, the little slave also handed over a lit candle, and said in his mouth, "Come on, young master!"
So he answered, took one of the ancient books on the table, and only then turned the first page, but there was a flower in front of him, only to see that dozens of small black seal fonts on the first page of the ancient book flew out of the book in turn, arranged in a neat string in mid-air, and rotated around his head.
"Heaven and earth are vast, only the avenue is eternal, if you want to prove the way of heaven, you must first cultivate your own ......"
Jiang Yi was dazzled as he read those small seal characters, and was very surprised in his heart, these small black seal characters were rotating as a whole, and they were still swimming up and down with themselves as the center, just like small tadpoles, full of life.
Jiang Yizheng was looking at it interestingly, who knew that in the next moment, the mutation would be reborn!
The dozens of black tadpole-like words suddenly dissolved the formation, and they all rushed up at his head with their claws, biting his body one by one, and even trying to get into his eyes and ears!
"Ahhh
Jiang Yi woke up suddenly from his dream, but he pulled the wound, and his whole face suddenly distorted with pain, and his weak body kept twitching.
It took a whole half of the incense to slowly disappear before the tearing pain slowly disappeared. Jiang Yi was drenched in cold sweat all over his body, his hair stood up, and it took him a long time to sit up with difficulty.
"It's a dream......"
"No, that's not right!"
Jiang Yi just let out a long sigh, and suddenly his face changed, and his expression seemed to be a ghost.
Because at this moment, he suddenly found that there were dozens of small black seal characters in his mind!?
The words were exactly the same as what he had just seen in his dream, like little tadpoles, spinning, flipping and swimming in his mind with joy......
