Chapter I: WTO accession
[Cloud Dream Federation]
[Unmengzawa-gun, Baiyang Castle]
This is a small courtyard located in the deep mountains and forests, isolated from the world.
The dilapidated courtyard gate swayed in the wind, and it seemed as if it would fall down at any moment.
The weeds in the courtyard are deep, but the section connecting the courtyard gate and the door is still visible.
It seems that the owner of this small courtyard is very lazy.
If it weren't for the fact that there were traces of pedestrians on the path connecting the two gates, perhaps anyone would have thought that this small courtyard had been abandoned for a long time.
There are still people in the room, one old and two young.
The old man has white hair and sideburns, and he is dressed in a white shabby cloth robe, but he can also see the breeze. And the two children, a boy and a woman, are both handsome, but the linen clothes on their bodies bury the beauty of the two.
It seems to be the old medicine man and his medicine boy.
Because there is a strong medicinal gas coming out of this house, floating out of the room, stretching for thousands of miles.
At this time, it is the rainy season, and the light rain and dull weather are the norm.
The gray sky is oppressive, and it is difficult to breathe.
And the expression of the old man in the room is the same.
Su Xiaoling and Su Ze have been sitting here for several hours, their legs are already unconscious, looking at the old man in front of them, Su Ze seems to have been wanting to say something, but he has not been able to speak.
"Master......"
The old man in front of Su Xiaoling and Su Ze closed his eyes slightly, and the aura around him was also unusually gentle, which normally made people feel a little scared.
After a long time, Su Xiaoling finally couldn't help it anymore, and the old man in front of him also spoke slightly.
"The old man has long taught you to meditate, don't have other methods, eliminate all thoughts, return to the dantian, enter the sea of spirit, and understand the law of all things.
It's only been a few hours now, and you can't help it?"
The old man in front of him is the master of Su Xiaoling and Su Ze, the two of them have no relatives, and it is the old man who raises the two of them single-handedly.
And this old man is not simple.
In this world, heaven and earth have their creation, and all things have their origins.
The people who live in it can also absorb the essence of heaven and earth and practice it as their own ability, and understand the mystery of life and death, which can be used as a spell to attack.
This said: Mage.
This is a world where mages should practice, and everyone can enter the Dharma path, learn spells, and practice the Dharma path.
Entering the Dharma Path: There is a promising 'spiritual power' in this heaven and earth, and the people of this world are born to be able to absorb spiritual power and refine themselves in this way.
Spiritual power accumulates in the body, and when it reaches a certain limit, it will form a space in the body that can be used exclusively to accumulate spiritual power.
The invisible spiritual power is visible when it is stored in the qifu.
Just like the starry sky at night, with the vastness of its spiritual power, it is the grain of spiritual power, and it can also judge the strength and weakness.
According to the number of spiritual power grains in the Qi Mansion, people also divide the people who have entered the Dharma Dao into multiple levels.
It is ordered.
There are nine levels of the Dharma Path, the ninth order is the strongest, and the first order is the weakest.
Entering the Dharma path is a first-order, but people who are ninth-order are rare.
Su Xiaoling and Su Ze's master is a ninth-order archmage.
In the Yunmeng Federation, there are nine ninth-order mages, Su Xiaoling and Su Zezhi's masters, among them, and their cultivation is also conceivable.
Su Xiaoling and Su Ze, who practiced with the old man, with their excellent talent, also left their peers Xu Yuan.
Su Ze is seven years old this year, and Su Xiaoling is only three months younger than Su Ze.
Most of the children of this age have just entered the Dharma Dao, they are first-order mages, and those with good talent are exploring the mysteries of second-order mages, but Su Ze and Su Xiaoling have been hovering among third-order mages for a long time.
In this small courtyard in the deep mountains, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling practiced with the old man.
Meditation is the main topic of their daily life.
According to normal words, the old man would call Su Ze and Su Xiaoling at most, and meditate for an hour.
But today, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling have been sitting cross-legged for three hours, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling have already woken up, but the old man has never let the two of them rest.
I don't know if it's my hallucination, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling, but they always feel that the old man has something on his mind today.
And this does not seem to be a trivial matter, perhaps, this is something that even the old man finds very tricky.
However, as an old man of the ninth order archmage, above ten thousand people, he can slaughter the city with one thought, and destroy the world with one anger. What kind of thing is there that even the old man can be so troubled?
Su Ze and Su Xiaoling don't know the reasons and disputes, that is, even their own masters can't settle things, what kind of ability do they have to stir things up?
The sky was slowly darkening, and Su Ze and Su Xiaoling had been sitting cross-legged for a whole afternoon.
Although the old man kept asking Su Ze and Su Xiaoling to meditate, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling really couldn't enter meditation anymore, looking at the old man in front of them blankly, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling didn't know how they survived this long time.
"Aze, Xiaoling, you have grown up, and many things do not need the supervision of the master, I hope that you can remember the words I often admonish you, keep your own heart, and never lose yourself in this world of flowers and rain. β
The bright moon was already hanging high in the starry night sky, I don't know how long I had been doing it, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling both probably felt that their nerves had become numb, and they just wanted the old man to open his mouth and tell him to go back to rest.
And the old man finally spoke.
But......
Su Ze and Su Xiaoling didn't know why the old man suddenly said such sad words, but the two of them could sense that tonight, maybe it was not peaceful.
However, the old man really didn't pay attention to the puzzled expressions of Su Ze and Su Xiaoling, and continued to speak:
"I've been meditating for a day, but in fact you're just in a daze. What I want to tell you is that there is no shortage of talented and intelligent people in this world, but what is lacking is people who can persevere.
The two of you are very talented, but you are too playful, and without the supervision of the teacher, you may not be able to make rapid progress!
The reason why I asked you to meditate all afternoon is that in addition to teaching you perseverance, I also want to see you more......
One last look.
Maybe......
Okay, let's not talk about the sad words, the time is almost up, Aze, take the law book that the teacher gave you before, and enter the WTO.
Protect Xiaoling and go to this world. Isn't that what the two of you want to hope for? Remember, if you go out, don't come back! No matter what's going on here, you know?"
The air was slowly silent, and it seemed that because of the old man's emotions, the surrounding world was slightly affected.
In the end, the old man's face full of vicissitudes suddenly appeared two tear stains leading to the corners of his eyes.
At the end of the words, the old man couldn't control his emotions at all, and looked at the magic circle depicted on Su Ze's forehead, and muttered.
This magic circle is the spell that the old man has forged all his life, and it is called the book of sages.
Tonight will indeed be a little uneven, so the old man will let Su Ze and Su Xiaoling leave tonight.
Su Ze and Su Xiaoling couldn't understand why the old man was so sad, but since the old man let himself leave, no matter what happened here, he didn't look back, so he could only abide by it.
didn't hesitate, obviously when the old man asked Su Ze and Su Xiaoling to meditate, they were very leisurely, but this time the old man asked Su Ze and Su Xiaoling to leave, but it seemed to be very urgent.
This courtyard has a path leading to the outside of the forest. Su Ze and Su Xiaoling are looking for this road.
Looking at the old man in front of him, although the old man is indeed very strict with himself, but now, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling have become reluctant again.
Obviously, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling have always longed for the world outside the forest, but now, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling have a very nostalgic emotion for the small broken courtyard.
It's just that the old man didn't have the intention of letting Su Ze and Su Xiaoling stay here, and kept urging Su Ze and Su Xiaoling to leave.
Su Ze and Su Xiaoling have always listened to the old man's words, although the old man's various behaviors today are a little abnormal, but Su Ze and Su Xiaoling can't ask more, they can only abide by it, follow this path, and leave as soon as possible.
It's just that......
Constantly moving forward along this path, Su Ze and Su Xiaoling felt more and more uneasy in their hearts.
"Finally sent these two little ghosts away, Martial Saint, I wanted to be my husband's Soul Gathering Pill, I really didn't expect that my husband would hide this Soul Gathering Pill in that sage book!
Tonight, the old man wants to see, I'm afraid of you, what are you leaving me!
It's just two little rabbit cubs, Aze and Xiaoling, Zhou, you don't want to suffer!
As a teacher, I can only teach you to come here, and in the future, you will have to rely on your own creation. β
......
"Brother Ze! Why did the master tell us to go out in the middle of the night to buy medicine this time, and didn't those pharmacies close at night? Also, why, the master didn't teach us to turn back! I see that the master was not in a good mood all day today. β
Walking on this forest path, Su Ze held the big book given by the old man and didn't say a word, but Su Xiaoling was very puzzled and asked Su Ze.
"I don't know...... Perhaps, we will never go back......"
Looking at Su Xiaoling beside him, Su Ze inexplicably thought that Su Xiaoling was too naΓ―ve, and it was clear that the master's words had already reached that point.
Su Ze didn't know about the old man's affairs, but Su Ze knew that the old man asked himself to come out to collect medicine, which would definitely not be the real purpose.
What the old man really wants is just to find an excuse to support himself.
It's just that the old man, what trouble is he getting into? himself and Su Xiaoling, where should we go next?
