At noon, the sun shines brightly on the snow. The sky was not brightened by the bright sun. Because the sky of the ghost domain has always been gray, and it will always be a gloomy tone. Under this gray sky, a small building of adobe bricks and tiles stood quietly on the ground. The small building is inconspicuous, and it is no different from the house of ordinary people. However, it is located in a luxurious compound, surrounded by glazed tiles and white jade bricks, which are magnificent, and even if there is no dazzling sun, it still feels like it will shine. A teenager was walking slowly towards the inconspicuous building.

The young man was tall and immature, and the face of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old was plain, the kind that would never be found in the crowd, but on that extremely popular face, a pair of red and green demon pupils flashed with light, looking weird, a head of white hair perpendicular to the shoulders, straight but not smooth, the color was not that bright silver, but a dull pale. It's like an old man who has experienced many years of vicissitudes, tormented by the hardships of the world and turned gray.

"Father, you're looking for me. The boy's voice was also very flat, not loud, not sharp, not crisp, like the surface of a windless lake, without waves.

"Yes, come in. Standing inside the door was a majestic and upright back, and this person was the young man's father, Bai Chen. "Tomorrow is the entrance test for the Black Emperor. ”

"Yes, Father. ”

"How sure are you?"

"Eighty percent"

"Eighty percent?" Bai Chen's gaze suddenly became sharp, looking at the young man, his face that seemed mature and with some vicissitudes of life showed a stern color, different from the young man's white hair, Bai Chen was a black hair, black and shiny. "Eighty percent, that's too low, you have to remember that the success rate of less than ninety percent in the future is close to zero, understand?

For Bai Ye, Bai Chen's requirements have always been very strict. Because his cultivation talent is really not very good. Among his peers, his talent is relatively good, but compared to the younger generation of the four major families, his talent is really poor. Fortunately, although Bai Ye's cultivation talent is not very good, he is quite good in mental tricks, plus his two elder brothers are the best among the younger generation, and his younger brother and sister are also good. What's even more valuable is that the relationship between the five brothers and sisters is good, and there is no dispute over the position of the future head of the family.

The rise and prosperity of a family requires a person who can stand up to the matter. And White Night is such a person. Therefore, Bai Chen has always cultivated Bai Ye as the future head of the family. Even if his cultivation talent is not good, with the support of his two elder brothers, it is quite good, and he does not have to worry about his younger siblings being excluded.

Bai Ye looked at Bai Chen's stern face and quickly replied, "The child understands." ”

Bai Chen's face softened slightly, and said, "The annual meeting remembers the origin of the names of your five brothers and sisters." ”

"Remember, the names of our Bai family are taken from the family heirloom parchment scroll, or added, or homophonic, or slightly modified, our five brothers and sisters took Lie, Yao, Night, Moon, Dream, these five words, I ranked third, so I named Bai Ye. ”

"Well, that's right, your uncle and I are the same, these are all set by our ancestors, and I don't know why this is happening. Since the parchment, this rule has been created, and we don't need to know why, just follow the teachings of our ancestors. That parchment scroll is a prophecy, a prophecy about my Bai family. The parchment scroll was in this ancestral hall, under the family motto. ”

Hearing this, Bai Ye couldn't help but have doubts, and asked, "Father, where did you get that parchment scroll? Why did you make such an ancestral precept according to this parchment scroll, and why did you prophesy it for our Bai family?"

Bai Chen replied, "I don't know the origin of that parchment scroll. I asked your grandfather the same thing, but he didn't know. Where it came from, and for what? I only know that my Bai family must follow it for generations. As for the specific reason, it may only be known to the first generation of the head of the family, the ancestor of the Bai family. ”

Then, Bai Chen took out a key on his body and said to Bai Ye, "This is the key to our Bai family ancestral hall, except for me and your uncle, each of your five brothers and sisters has a hand, and the exercises, techniques, and all other books here, you can read and learn at will." You can also use all the facilities and auxiliary items here. But you can't take anything out of there. Whether it is the study of exercises and techniques, or the use of facilities and auxiliary supplies, it must be carried out here, if you are practicing the techniques, you can go out to practice first, and then come back to see, you can memorize them, but you must not copy. Got it?"

"The child understood. ”

"Well, although you are still young, you are all sensible, in the future, the rise and fall of the Bai family, it depends on you, fortunately, you are all very good, your eldest brother and your second brother's natal spirit has awakened last year, they are the Blue Sea Flame and the Bai Gang Refining Heart Flame, both of which are good strengths, presumably your natal spirit is also about to awaken, even if it is not as good as your two brothers, it is not much worse, and you brothers and sisters, your heart is the best, and you are also the most suitable to be the heir of my Bai family master, so I plan to let you go" The Black Emperor "Study for a while, after you come back, take over the position of head of the family, I also told your brother and sister, they have no objections, I think, the future Bai family under your leadership, will definitely be stronger." ”

The natal spirit is a cultivation talent unique to the people of the ghost domain. The sooner one awakens, the more he can see his cultivation talent. The average younger generation of the four major families will awaken around the age of ten, his eldest brother Bai Lie has awakened as early as the age of eight, and the second brother Bai Yao has awakened at the age of six. Bai Ye is fourteen years old this year, and he hasn't woken up yet, but he has a faint sense of awakening. Bai Chen's "presumably not too bad" is just comfort.

"It's a pity, your mother left early, and died after giving birth to Xiaomeng, so I can't see the growth of a few of you......" Speaking of this, Bai Chen's face showed melancholy and regret.

"The child will live up to his father's expectations and prosper my Bai family to comfort his mother's soul in the sky. ”

"Okay, that's enough for you. Okay, you can watch something here now, I'm leaving. With that, Bai Chen turned around and walked out the door.

Bai Ye was left alone in the ancestral hall, casually looking through various exercises, techniques, etc., and all kinds of books here are also varied, such as the history of the ghost domain, the legends of the human world, and the biographies of some strong people in the past. The Four Books and the Five Classics, various regional cultures, various etiquette, and even mechanical engineering, architecture, and various life technology books.

Books like this are all at a glance at the white night, and they don't stop. He had to learn one or two techniques before facing the "Black Emperor" exam. However, there are also a wide variety of techniques here, such as the attack "Flame Palm", "Fire Lion Roar", "Light Flame Rush", "Fire Line", "Burning Sky Slash" and so on. Because most of the Bai family's natal essence is fire-based, there are more fire-attribute techniques. There are also "Glimpses of Floating Light", "Treading Fire", "Soul Shifting Step", "Lost Step" and so on. There are other auxiliary classes, like "Fire Swallowing Technique", "Sky Fire Change", "Fire Shadow Shield", "**" and so on. This is another white night is a little dazzling, but time is limited, he can only learn one or two, and just learning, it may not be able to use it well. Fortunately, Bai Ye still knew something, and only picked two techniques that were most suitable for him, so he no longer hesitated.

Bai Ye continued to wander around the ancestral hall, casually flipping through various books and looking at various objects. No, Bai Ye saw the parchment scroll that Bai Chen said. As for the prophecy of the parchment scroll, Bai Ye still believes very much. Not for anything else, but because the prophecy was written on the parchment. Parchment rolls are an expensive item and are rare in all domains. And with the status of the Ghost Domain among the major domains, this parchment scroll may be the only one in the Ghost Domain.

As early as thousands of years ago, parchment scrolls have been regarded as treasures, and generally what can be written on parchment scrolls is either rare exercises or martial arts, or some treasure maps, buried with immeasurable treasures. Parchment rolls are different from parchment paper. Parchment paper is simply made by soaking the sheepskin in lime water, removing the wool, scraping thin on both sides, stretching and drying, and polishing. Parchment rolls, on the other hand, are made from a lot of precious materials and high-grade animal skins. The words written on the parchment roll can remain unfading for thousands of years, and the parchment roll itself is not easily damaged. Once upon a time, when there was still a farm economy, a blank parchment could buy an entire estate for the price. Nowadays, the material used in parchment rolls is more expensive, and its price has also risen. Today's blank parchment roll can buy almost half of the Bai family. The fact that such an expensive parchment scroll was used to write a prophecy shows the power of the prophet at that time. The accuracy of this prophecy can also be seen.

The parchment scroll was placed on the front seat of the ancestral hall, and it was respectfully placed there, and I saw that the parchment scroll read:

The stars are the generals, and the mountains and rocks are the pawns.

Brothers in the woods, friends in the rivers and lakes.

The sun shines brightly, and the clouds disperse.

Clear the body and clear eyes, break the delusion and become enlightened.

There is no hole in the heart of the night, and foxes and wolves avoid it.

The moon is half gone, and the dream is dancing.

"Is this the future of my Bai family? The momentum is magnificent, there is the posture of a high-ranking person, all over the world are friends, the heart is barrier-free, and the nature of the Ming and Qing dynasties. If this prophecy is true, it seems that my Bai family will have a broader future.

Bai Ye looked up in the direction ahead, and saw a huge plaque hanging directly above this positive position, which read:

Bai family motto: insidious, cunning, treacherous, murderous, cold-blooded, greedy, arrogant...... My descendants of the Bai family, if you can't do any of the above, please go to heaven, you don't have to go to hell to see me.

- The ancestor of the Bai family
