The county lord and Situ Qing returned to their temporary home in Xicheng, and Situ Qing asked while helping to pack up his things: "What kind of stone did you give that kid the county lord?"

The county lord replied, "Do you know about the Holy Demon War?"

Situ Qing: "Is it the holy war tens of thousands of years ago, according to legend, tens of millions of demon soldiers and demons in the entire demon world will invade the human world under the leadership of the Demon Gate Holy Ancestor Asura King, and hundreds of millions of people in the human world live in hell on earth, which is unbearable." Under the leadership of the six saints of the human race, all the elites of the human world launched a holy war with the demon gate stationed in the depths of the wilderness and the place of death, and later the six saints joined forces to fight against the Asura King before they could be drawn, and at the last moment, it is said that there was a saint-level master in the demon world who fought back, and the six saints did not hesitate to die before annihilating the Asura King, and the Asura King died of hatred, and the form and spirit were destroyed, and finally caused the explosion of the Heavenly King Mountain in the place of death. The entire mountain range turned into countless black stones, and later there was a legend that the Asura King and the Six Sages each left a legacy before their deaths, and sealed a few of the stones respectively. ”

Situ Qing: "Oh, I know, is the county lord giving him the stone of Tianwang Mountain?"

Lord: "Well, when I took him captive, the stone was placed next to him. I checked, and this stone is no different from the ones left by my family's ancestors, they are all ordinary stones. The Warriors of Light who followed the saints to participate in the Holy Demon War, and everyone who was lucky enough to survive left one or several of these stones to their descendants, and I have not heard of anyone who has received the inheritance until now. ”

Situ Qing: "This legend has passed for tens of thousands of years, and no one has passed it on. Or maybe it's just a myth. ”

Liang Jia lay asleep in the snow, his breathing was very weak, and the stone in his hand absorbed his tears and blood.

The diamond-shaped stone slowly cracked, and the black outer skin flakes fell off, gradually revealing the blood-red hedron inside. The surface of the hedron is transparent, and a red liquid can be seen flowing slowly inside. The red liquid has an amazing amount of energy, flowing regularly according to a trajectory, gradually getting faster and faster, the flow of energy increases the pressure on the surroundings little by little, and the red light becomes more and more bewitching.

The light from the shiny six-diamond-shaped incision gradually illuminates the entire mountain. The beasts of the nearby wilderness were all subdued by a terrifying and ferocious coercion, and they trembled and crawled on the ground, and the dark clouds around the sky concentrated towards the sky here, forming a whirlpool and whirling violently in the sky. The energy of the hedron has reached a critical point.

With a bang, a golden thunderbolt pierced the void in the center of the dark clouds in the sky and smashed down towards Liang Jia, and the bewitching spar quickly emitted a circle of light more than three feet wide, covering Liang Jia, and a devastating red energy from hell in the spar confronted the heavenly thunder.

The huge power of thunder and lightning bombarded the aperture of the spar, Yu Wei passed through the aperture and shot into Liang Jia's body, Liang Jia let out a terrible scream, and the remaining power of thunder and lightning penetrated into the meridians and five organs of Liang Jia's body, destroying his vitality. Liang Jia rolled on the ground in pain, his body became weaker and weaker, and he endured great pain, and the power of lightning and thunder was still whirling in his body. At this time, the spar cracked, and the red liquid melted into the body along Liang Jia's hand, and the place where the red liquid passed quickly moisturized and repaired Liang Jia's meridians, exuding vigorous vitality, and gradually the golden power of lightning was chased to Liang Jia's dantian.

The red energy rushed up to Liang Jia's head cavity, smoothing the meridians in his head, and finally converging into the two eyes. Liang Jia finally fell asleep.

The surroundings were once again in darkness, and the forest was silent.

Another seven and a half years have passed, in the west of Yongzhou City, east of Ningmingzhou, there is a Qingxiu Town, there are many merchants in the town, every day the villagers of the nearby villages come here to purchase daily necessities, sell mountain goods, trade prey, animal skins, medicinal materials, and wild beast nucleus.

Because this Qingxiu town is backed by the Yishan Mountain Range, behind the Yishan Mountain Range is the wasteland forest. It is very convenient to enter the wasteland from Qingxiu Town for hunting, medicine collection, and mining, and the market here is a convenient supply point for entering the wasteland forest.

The weather is very good these days, and there are many merchants and adventurers coming and going. The surname Yang in Qingxiu Town is a big surname, almost sixty percent of the local households are surnamed Yang, and the hereditary viscount Yang Ting is the patriarch of the Yang family, and it is said that Yang Ting's ancestors were once the personal guards of Emperor Gaozu of Yan State. He has made great contributions, and after getting older, he was awarded the hereditary viscount to return to his hometown and fief Qingxiu Town.

The people of the wasteland continent are martial and strong, the average life span of the human race is more than a hundred years old, and it is common for people to live for more than two hundred above the third order of true qi.

The old mayor Yang Wei stepped down at the age of 120. Yang Ting is now in his early sixties, is the second son of the old mayor, the old mayor has a total of four sons and six daughters, the eldest son Yang Fei is amazingly talented, amazing, he went out in his twenties, and there has been no news, more than six years ago, Yang Fei, who was nearly 70 years old, returned to the nest with two subordinates, several servants, four carriages and two children.

Yang Fei only lived at home for two days, so he bought a small courtyard in the east of the town, cleaned it and moved over. In the second year, he bought a shop on the edge of the small courtyard and sold energy crystal nuclei and martial arts rune crystals.

Yang Fei has a very good business selling rune crystals, buying the crystal nuclei of desolate beasts from hunters, and selling only 80 energy rune crystals a day in his own shop, and three martial arts rune crystals, Yang Fei does not sell them wholesale to merchants from the city. It is only sold to mercenaries, hunters, and medicine pickers who go into the mountains to hunt. Yang Fei's nuclear crystals are not cheap, other stores only sell 200 Yan coins for first-order energy rune crystals, and Yang Fei sells first-order energy rune crystals for 280 Yan coins. The second-order nuclear crystal is sold for 800 Yan coins, and Yang Fei sells 950 Yan coins. Because Yang Fei's rune crystals have reached the middle-grade level, it takes more than ten seconds for ordinary energy rune crystals to be absorbed, and medium-grade ones are all within 5 seconds, and ordinary energy nuclei can restore 4 to 5 percent of true qi when absorbed into the body. The recovery of the medium grade is to 6 percent. Suppose that when a group of people are fighting with desolate beasts in the wasteland, their true qi is exhausted and they need to absorb energy, of course, the sooner they recover, the better, and the more true qi they recover, the better, this is likely to determine their own life and death, which is related to the outcome of the battle.

More than six years ago, Yang Fei and his entourage returned to their hometown and encountered a snowy day, took the wrong road, went to the Xiaoyishan Mountain Range, walked to the edge of a forest, and saw a child with blood on his face and hands, frozen to the point that he was almost unable to breathe, so he took him back to Qingxiu Town, and the child did not speak after waking up. Yang Fei's granddaughter gave him the nickname Wood, who was very diligent and sensible, and after he recovered from his injury, he worked with the servants they brought. Carry water, chop wood, do everything.

It wasn't until three months later that the wood spoke for the first time, that day the wood washed the teacup for Yang Fei, washed it and brought it into the room for him, Yang Fei was carving a first-order energy rune crystal, and the wood looked at it quietly on the side curiously.

Yang Fei's right wrist was as flexible as a snake, as soft as a boneless. The pen knife in his hand cut sharply on the crystal nucleus, carving out fine lines, the eyes of the wood stared at the rune crystal, his gaze extended to the crystal nucleus, and he directly saw the energy flow in the crystal nucleus, as if he was looking at a flowing scroll full of charm.

Yang Fei carved for almost a quarter of an hour, and the pen knife in his hand turned lightly and closed the knife.

After Yang Fei finished carving, he turned his head and asked with a smile, "Wood, are you very interested in this?" ”

The wood groaned for a while, stretched out his index finger in his right hand, and pointed to a rune on the rune crystal: "You haven't finished carving yet, there is still a stroke here"

Yang Fei was surprised: "Wood, it turns out that you can speak."

Picked up an ancient book of first-order rune crystals on the side, and compared the rune crystals he made, it was exactly the same. Turning to the wood, he said, "The image I carved is exactly the same as the image of the rune book." ”

Wood said, "That's the book is wrong." Then he went back to work.

In an instant, Yang Fei was stunned, the book was wrong, what a big breath, it was a book written by an ancient rune master.

In the end, Yang Fei thought about it, picked up the engraving pen, and added a knife to the place where the wood was talking, and after adding, he held the rune crystal in his hand and sensed it with true qi, and the low-grade energy rune crystal just now became a medium-grade rune crystal, Yang Fei was stunned again.

As far as he knew, when the grandson of Chu Long, the great master of runes in Yanjing City, was thirteen years old, he carved a second-order energy rune crystal, and he was named a rune genius. What kind of demon is this wood, a child who is only six or seven years old.

After that, Yang Fei found Mu and asked him where he learned the runes, and the wood said that he didn't know runes. Yang Fei asked him how he knew that the place was going to be added.

The wood said, "I saw something flowing through it." ”

When Yang Fei was young, he traveled abroad to study and befriended Li Tianzong, the prince of Yan State at that time. Similar interests, become friends. When the emperor of Yan died of old age, Yan King Shu Dan rebelled, Yang Fei assisted the prince to order all the princes of Yan to enter Beijing to quell the rebellion, Wang Shu Dan was defeated and went outside Beijing, colluding with foreign barbarians to threaten Yan again, Yang Fei offered a discordant plan, and the foreign barbarians killed Wang Shudan.

So Yang Fei was awarded the title of Marquis. When Yang Fei was away from home, Wang Shudan's son sneaked into Yang Fei's house at night and killed Yang Fei all over the house, leaving only his little granddaughter hiding under the bed and escaping.

After that, Yang Fei was disheartened and resigned from his official position to return to his hometown, but King Yan couldn't keep it, and asked Yang Fei what he wanted, Yang Fei said: "When I was young, I liked to learn runes in the academy very much, and I was very entangled, but my family asked me to learn martial arts, and it was easier to get ahead." Now I kind of regret not learning runes"

King Yan sent four cars of books collected in the royal family of Yan Kingdom to Yang Fei. Among them, there are books related to runes, such as recording the crystal nucleus of wild beasts, rune formations, healing runes, carved rune crystals, rune weapons, and so on. Many of them are ancient books, even unique ones, which are very precious.

Yang Fei's own true qi is a super master in the latter stage of the eighth order, with these books, it is still logical to read slowly, learn by heart, and learn to carve some simple, entry-level rune crystals.

The rune crystal nucleus is carved from the crystal nucleus of the desolate beast. The liquid inside the crystal nucleus is where the true qi cultivation of the desolate beast condenses and crystals, and each crystal nucleus liquid has its own unique flow mode.

The liquid flows in the crystal shell according to the way the beast was alive, and even if it is the same kind of beast, there will be slight differences. Each crystal nucleus is unique, each one is different, to become an outstanding rune master, in addition to being familiar with the runes suitable for each kind of desolate beast, you must also use your true qi and spiritual power to perceive each crystal nucleus. Feel it while carving, and modify the runes that fit it and belong to it. Therefore, Yang Fei suspected that the wood could sense the flow of energy inside the crystal nucleus.

The next day, Yang Fei gave a rune pen knife and a few crystal nuclei, as well as a primary rune book to wood, and told him to carve runes on it. Under Yang Fei's repeated insistence, the wood began to pick up the carving knife. At the beginning, the wood carved several crystal nuclei, and by the time the ninth was carved, the wood was successful. After that, the wood was carved better and better.

Later, Yang Fei simply gave all the four cars of runes to the wood and moved them all into the wooden room.

Since then, the wood gets up every day to chop wood, carry water, and then read runes and carve crystal nuclei.

Liang Jia's body has been destroyed and tempered by the heavenly thunder, and the magic energy has repaired the body, meridians, and brain mysteries, inheriting the magic eye of the Asura King. Others use true qi to perceive the crystal nucleus, and use spiritual power to explore the crystal nucleus, and the magic eye of the wood can directly see through the crystal nucleus, see the subtle energy distribution in the crystal nucleus, see the changes in energy, and the flow of energy.

Liang Jia learned from the most basic rune theory. Learn this boring knowledge. Rune carving is the most difficult knowledge, want difficult and obscure runes, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, Liang Jia's understanding and wisdom, memory have been exerted to the extreme, only in the world of runes, Liang Jia can forget jì a qiē pain and sadness, only in the world of runes, Liang Jia can forget jì self, the way to escape the pain is to forget jì pain, although only temporarily forget jì.

Since then, Liang Jia's life, in addition to carving runes, is to learn all the knowledge related to runes day and night, and in this way, more than six years have passed.

In September, at noon one day, in a small room on the left side of Yang Fei's backyard, in front of a large black table, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy sat there, with his head down, his hands and elbows resting on the table, holding a dark red crystal nucleus in his left hand, and a pen knife in his right hand, the tip of the pen gently circulated on the epidermis of the crystal nucleus, and elegant arcs were drawn on the crystal nucleus, gradually forming mysterious runes, the soft lines extended smoothly from under the tip of the pen, the dark red light became brighter and brighter, his brushstrokes were sometimes fierce, sometimes slender, sometimes dexterous, the boy's face was very delicate and fair, the only deficiency was that there was a scar under the corner of the left eye, he was completely immersed in the world of runes, his hand was very steady, is breathing very smooth, there is a touch of bright red in the depths of his eyes, staring at the crystal nucleus tightly, suddenly the tip of the pen paused, a hook, and the crystal nucleus darkened. Done, the boy put the crystal nucleus into the box force, just 80 energy rune crystals, 3 martial arts rune crystals. It only took 2 and a half hours.

Yang Fei's granddaughter is called Yang Xiu'er, fourteen years old. In the past few years, I have been practicing in the Xuanwu School in Ningming City, and I can come back for five days every month when the academy is resting. Today is the day she is coming back.

Liang Jia went out from the back door of the courtyard, walked out of the town, and walked for a stick of incense, there was a small river, the surface of the small river was about five zhang wide, Liang Jia found a piece of dead wood on the ground, and the person stood quietly by the river, staring at the bottom of the water, standing for half an hour, with a flick of his hand, a dead branch shot into the water. After a while, an ice fish weighing more than four catties floated up. The dead branch just passed through the fish's eye, and the dead branch shot the fish, so Liang Jia used the same method, and caught three fish by the river before stopping. Liang Jia found a piece of grass, passed through the gills of the fish, and walked back with the fish.
