Part 4: World Drawing

When Ai heard this, he was also a little puzzled, but he thought that the master was so solemn, there must be a reason, although he didn't understand, but he would naturally have the opportunity to be white in the future, and he didn't ask anymore, just "The apprentice knows"

The madman Yang listened, and took a drawing from the package on the other side, this map can be said to be very fine, and he threw him directly in front of Ai, "This is the place I have been, and it is also a known country in this subcontinent, you can take a look"

Ai picked it up and took a closer look, it turned out that there were many other countries besides Central City, starting from Central City, there was a place called "Angel City" in the north, a place called "Wind and Thunder Gorge" in the south, a place called "Valley of Fire" mentioned earlier in the west, and a place called "Shadow World" in the east.

Between the Valley of Flames and Angel City, there is a place called "Forest", and in the farthest corner there is a place called "Polar". There is an "Ice Flame Desert" between Angel City and the Shadow World, and there is an island in the clouds and fog in the distance, with the word "Destiny" written on it. Below, there is a crack between the Shadow World and the Wind Thunder Gorge, which says "Otherworld", and there is an island between the Valley of Flame and the Wind Thunder Gorge with "duckweed" written on it. With this map, think back to the pictures and rhymes you just saw. I seem to understand something. Then he asked in a low voice, "Master, are those pictures and sentences from above just right for the country above?" "Crazy Yang smiled" Exactly, so can you correspond? ”

Ai pondered for a while, and carefully analyzed, "First of all, what is more gloomy is this Valley of Flames, which should correspond to the previous fire, and the stone carved on the side of the 'Burning Spirit, Shining and glorious', listening to this sentence, it should be said that the people of this Valley of Flames, tempered by this flame, should be extraordinary in physique, and I met a person in the town before, who is bold and upright, but there is a flame and auspicious cloud pattern on his left arm, I think it should be a person from the Valley of Fire, this shining brilliance, maybe it is his ability, or it may be about his character" The madman Yang smiled and nodded, "Yes, the people in the Valley of Fire." Most of them are this kind of character, although they will be short-tempered, but they are very good people, and they are also close friends with me, and I still want to have a drink with him again when I have the opportunity. ”

Ai nodded and then analyzed, "I have also heard of this Wind Thunder Gorge, there is a place where thunderstorms are great all year round, so the sentence 'Celestial phenomena attract a realm, and the essence disperses to two worlds' should be this place."

"Not bad, yes, but there are many things you don't know, they all say that the Central City is famous for the country of weapons, but that's just the amount of description, the quality is stable, the wind and thunder gorge is where all today's strong people will go, not for anything else, just let their weapons enter the first line, conventional weapon forging is based on firepower, and the wind and thunder gorge is relying on the power of wind and thunder, and it is not an exaggeration to call the forged weapons artifacts, the weapons they forge can inject their own source qi, and the gap is also reflected in this, But what most people don't know is that in fact, there was no Wind Thunder Gorge originally, it was after the Great War of the Hundred Clans, a group of top weapon forgers left the central city that stabilized the pattern, because of some unknown reasons thousands of mountains and rivers came to the Wind Thunder Gorge, in fact, it was originally just an ordinary canyon, they used the source technique plus some forbidden arts, which attracted celestial phenomena, and since then there has been thunder and lightning all year round, and it is named Wind Thunder Gorge. Traveler's know, I also found out through some ancient books there, and as for the reason for leaving, I was kicked out before I could see it. It's really hateful that the old man in it has too much temper and extraordinary strength, otherwise it wouldn't have made so many strong people rush to it. ”

"It turns out that there is this story" Ai also found it interesting and continued to read, "This duckweed is also easy to recognize'Heaven and earth are long and a duckweed, and the two places are divided into yin' should be said, but I'm not sure, is this place really called duckweed?" ”

The madman Yang nodded, "That's right, compared to other islands, there are no mountains in this place, from a distance, there is a duckweed floating on the sea and got its name, there is my hometown, I am the duckweed people" Ai listened, it turned out that the master came from there, but this is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, how did he get here? "In our hometown, I think the most famous thing is tattooing. Among the three basic techniques now, they are not forbidden techniques, they are source techniques, fighting techniques and tattoo techniques. "Ai is curious, he only knows the source technique, and he never knows what other tattoo techniques, forbidden techniques, listening to the name makes people feel curious." Master, I don't know if I can talk about this? ”

"Actually, it's also good for you, it's difficult for your source technique to progress here, and most of you will have to learn some pattern techniques from me in the future before you have a chance to leave here."

"Needless to say, the source technique is conceived from that source stone, and this continent is all source qi, and it is enough to absorb and cultivate, but there are always people who find another way, they do not release the source qi, but purely absorb and strengthen the body. Formed a fighting technique, the people in the Valley of the Flame are all good at fighting, and the tattoo technique only comes from our hometown" said that the madman Yang drove the source qi, and the tattoo that appeared at the beginning appeared on his body "This is the pattern technique, the duckweed people are located in the continent where the source gas is strong, so many people can't absorb enough source qi, let alone fight, the war of the hundred tribes can be described as a thousand shots, the island owner at that time, that is, my ancestors, went to the polar regions to learn the forbidden arts, and after bringing it back, it is the evolution of the pattern technique, which is by the pattern technique, The source qi is forcibly tattooed on the body, not driven and not visible, and the source qi that bursts out of the drive is difficult for many people to achieve after decades of cultivation, and the skill of the tattoo technique is only known as the elder of duckweed, called the tattoo master, and the technique and quantity of the tattoo directly determine the amount of source qi that can explode. But there is also a price, often the life span of tattoo users will be shortened, after all, it is the evolution of forbidden arts, the price depends on whether you can accept it, I am only 40 this year, but my physical skills are no different from 70 years old"

Ai was shocked, no wonder he would call Grandpa Bai Zhi an old man, it turned out that he was not old, but he only looked old because of the side effects of the tattoo technique. In this way, I can't help but be a little worried, the master said that if I want to solve my own problems, this tattoo technique is an indispensable part, and for a while I am not sure if I have the courage to give up my life for the sake of strength. The madman Yang saw Ai's thoughts, and then smiled, "You don't have to worry about this, there is a solution, you are ready in a few days, I will tell you again." Ai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, although there was a way, but in fact, what flashed in his eyes just now was a trace of determination to exchange life for strength.

"And duckweed is more than that, in fact, there are hints in the sentence, but I won't go into detail with you now, wait for you to have a chance to find out for yourself in the future, it's still too early for you." Ai nodded, this sentence does have meaning, but it is still too far away from himself. So he looked back, "By the way, Master, the 'polar region' you just mentioned refers to 'extremely remote places', there is an island in the corner on the drawing, and the sentence 'the end of the world is extremely from here, and the cape is difficult to walk again' refers to this place."

"Yes, I haven't been to this polar region, so it's just painted in the corner, but I have met someone who has used the polar forbidden art during the journey, in fact, the polar region is the most famous forbidden art, and it is rumored that even the forbidden art about life and death is among them, it was by the time of the Hundred Races War, a part of the surviving elders, took the clansmen away from the subcontinent, all the way to the ends of the earth, and brought the most dangerous and powerful ability at that time, because there was no restraint, so the forbidden art was like a fish in water there, It is also a place that many people want to go to but are difficult to reach. But I still don't recommend you to know more, I've read a lot of ancient books, and I've rarely heard of anyone coming back, and even if they do, they won't mention everything there. ”

Ai agreed, and looked at it again. The madman Yang seemed to see that Ai had a hard time seeing, so he didn't wait for Ai to continue guessing. I took the picture, just said to him, "This picture is waiting for you to come out of me, I will give it to you, it is also convenient for you to travel far away in the future, there is a direction, now you just need to know about it, in fact, these are just a scenery I passed by, a lot of content behind, you can't experience it without personal experience, you have too many spoilers, it's just endless curiosity and desire, which is not good for your growth." I still have something to do today, you can go back first, and if you want to make progress later, come to me, I will perform the tattoo technique for you, if you think about it, you can come, and it will not be harmed. It's just that I'm leaving in half a month, and there are still some things I have to deal with, remember, after leaving here, don't go back and don't mention to anyone what you saw today, unintentional talking is the root of most failures, don't make this kind of mistake here, I won't tolerate it"

Ai nodded, thanked him again and left here, leaving the back mountain, it was late at night, returned home, Aunt Bai Hua had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw him coming back, she patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't ask him why he came back late, just asked him to come to dinner quickly, Ai also felt embarrassed, and after eating, he helped sit down on the housework, chatted with them for a while, and then went back to the room to rest.

He lay on the bed, thinking about everything in the back mountain today, recalling the words he saw, the sentences, and recalling his apprenticeship, these places and stories that he had never heard of before, and it was very wonderful to hear it today. Then I unconsciously recalled how to complete the "Heavenly Throw" in the future, and if I entered the "Five Directions", I had to enter the "South" according to the requirements of the Master. The most important thing now is to decide whether you can accept these costs. According to what he saw in the books, only after completing this stage, can he be free from the constraints of the environment, and can refine the source gas freely, and even in the extreme environment, there will be unexpected effects on refining the source gas. It's just that he is too young now, and his source qi is too small, if, as the master said, at present, either leave Central City to find an environment that matches his source qi, or can he only clear the level, tattoo arts, and forcibly improve himself, but can he accept the price of this life?

In fact, life expectancy has never been the first in Ai's view, his own life experience, as well as the opportunities of various countries, the improvement of strength is inevitable, if there is no such awareness, even if you are strong, in front of more powerful people, even if you live to the bottom of 100 years old, it is just in this enclosure, doing nothing to live a boring life, it is better to be wonderful than 50, so he made up his mind. In any case, the "Heavenly Throw" after a month must be passed, it is the first step to make yourself strong and travel, so you must take this step, and the master also said that there is a way to fight against this broken life, go and listen to it, so that the price will not be unbearable. Thinking of this, Ai slowly fell asleep, and woke up early the next morning, doing housework, and eating breakfast, but today he finished the cultivation that had no effect and walked directly to the back mountain.

Ai came to the entrance of the cave. But I found that the vines that originally blocked the entrance of the cave were burned, and the entrance of the cave was blocked by many gravels, Ai was about to approach, and the voice of the madman Yang came "Try to come in, use all your methods"

Ai knows that this is the first test for himself who wants to break through himself and give himself, if he can't achieve it, let alone what will happen later. So Ai was at the entrance of the cave, eating the herbs he had picked on the road to help refine the source qi, and at the same time making a posture as instructed by the books he had seen before.

Although Ai couldn't gather too much source qi, a small amount of refining was still possible, and when he felt that the source qi was about to dissipate, he directly turned it on his right hand, and there was gradually a little yellowish light on his hand, forming a slight flow. Ai directly clenched, and hit the source qi of this refinement directly on the stone, only to see that the stone did not move at all, Ai was a little surprised, in the past, the stone, the stake will inevitably be damaged, and once a boulder was smashed into a huge pit, this time there was no change at all, or it was strange.

Just as he was surprised, a burst of source qi suddenly came from inside, and the rubble was bounced away. The madman Yang walked out slowly.

"Now, I know what the attribute of your source qi is."
