Chapter 3: Broken Runes
Ice fish is a specialty in Xiaoqing River outside the town, the fish meat is smooth and refreshing, fresh and sweet, whether steamed and braised is very delicious and delicious, it is Yang Xiuer's favorite. However, ice fish are generally used to swimming at the bottom of the river, and they are very vigilant by nature, and they are not easy to catch, and only a few old fishermen in the town have the ability to catch them.
Liang Jia walked back to the town, attracting the surprise of the crowd, this handsome young man who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with scars on his face, didn't know how to catch three big ice fish. Liang Jia usually studies hard and practices carving nuclear crystals, and helps to do something at home, and rarely goes out. The most people who know him are the next-door neighbors, and few people in the town know him.
A merchant who came to town to do business also tried to pay a high price for his fish. Wood just shook his head in refusal.
Liang Jia's first time catching ice fish was two years ago, when Yang Xiuer fell ill and lay in bed and drank bitter medicine soup for a few days. Said that he had a weak mouth and did not want to eat, and had no appetite. During the treatment, I called once or twice and just wanted to eat ice fish. The servants in charge of the kitchen went to buy ice fish, but they couldn't buy it, because the ice fish itself is not easy to catch, and even if the fishermen catch it, there are restaurants and big families who are buying it at a high price.
After Liang Jia found out, he went out to Xiaoqinghe and stayed until the evening before catching fish.
When Liang Jia was about to return to Yang's house, he heard someone behind him shouting, "Isn't it a wooden brother in front, it seems that you have grown taller again, and next year you will be as tall as my brother and me." ”
Liang Jia looked back and recognized it as Yang Yuchen, the grandson of the mayor Yang Ting, Yang Yuchen was seventeen years old this year, and walked over and patted Liang Jia on the shoulder. He is about 1.8 meters, and Liang Jia is only about 1.6 meters. He was a head shorter.
"Good boy, I got three of such a big ice fish, did I buy them from the old fishermen by the river, I can't remember the last time I ate such a big ice fish, when was it. I'm blessed, just in time. I must have a meal at my grandfather's house tonight. Wood, look at what I got for grandpa. ”
Raised the brocade box in his left hand up, "Ice Tiger Ginseng Wine, nourishing qi and nourishing the body, it's the best, this is what my grandfather bought from Yanjing." I heard that it is a good wine that only the nobles of Yanjing can drink, and these bottles are for my grandfather. ”
Liang Jia looked at him, didn't speak, took him into the house, and went directly to the backyard. At this time, Yang Fei and Phyllis would play chess under the big tree in the yard. When Yang Fei returned to his hometown, he brought Phyllis and Ao Tie, as well as four servants. Phyllis is not low, he is more resourceful, he is Yang Fei's staff, Phyllis is not from Yan Kingdom, he is from the Western Kaiya Empire. Ao Tie is Yang Fei's personal guard, four servants, Lao Liu is now the housekeeper, and the three servants Li Da, Li Er, and Li San themselves are victims of the disaster, and Yang Fei took them in. They voluntarily followed Qingxiu Town.
Liang Jia brought Yang Yuchen to Yang Fei, and took the fish to the kitchen to clean up.
Yang Fei was amazingly talented when he was young, because his mother Shen was a partial house, and he died of illness after giving birth. And the eldest lady of the main house, the Huang family, is a prominent family in Ningming City, and out of pressure, the old mayor made it clear early that he would pass on the viscount to the son of the Huang family, the mediocre Yang Ting. At that time, Yang Fei was young and vigorous, thinking that his father was unfair, so he resolutely went out to study and work hard, and went to the world under the pseudonym Shen Fei. There was only one granddaughter left, and she decided to return to her hometown in grief and sadness, and she also had the intention of escaping the world, staying away from the court, and preserving her granddaughter.
On the day of his return, although Huang welcomed him with a smile on his face, he was very tentative in his language. Yang Fei was reluctant to reveal his experience and concealed the fact that he had been awarded the hereditary marquis of Yan Kingdom.
The Yang family has been in the same house for several generations, with many people and mixed tastes. Yang Fei decided to move out and live alone, happy and relaxed. There is no need to fall into the suspicion and suspicion of the family.
Yang Fei moved here to live for six years, except for the New Year's festival or ancestor worship. Yang Fei rarely returned to Yang's mansion, and no one in the Yang family came to visit the house, except for Yang Fei's youngest sister, she was also a concubine, married to Li Hu, a hunter in the town, and gave birth to a son, Li Xiaobao, who was the same age as Yang Xiu'er, and also studied martial arts in Ningming together. Li Xiaobao has a sweet mouth and thick skin, and often comes to eat and drink. But Yang Fei likes him very much.
Yang Yuchen has never been to Yang Fei's house, even if he greets him during the festival, he is plain and bland, and he is not very enthusiastic. The highest cultivation of the Yang family is the old mayor of Yang, the sixth order. Secondly, the second Yang Ting, the third Yang He, and the fourth Yang Jian are all fifth-order. They couldn't see through Yang Fei's cultivation, plus Yang Fei was sad that his wife and children died unexpectedly, and his temples were gray. He looks old and haggard. They thought that Yang Fei's talent when he was young had been wasted, and he returned to his hometown in the hope of sheltering under the wings of the Yang family, doing business and providing for the elderly, and living a good life. It was inevitable to despise Yang Fei, but he also had no vigilance to prevent him from coming back to fight for property, and he got along well when he met at the party.
The juniors of the Yang family also treated Yang Fei politely and politely, and there was no contact in private. Yang Fei didn't mind, he was happy and quiet.
This time, Yang Yuchen came uninvited, and brought good wine, probably because he had something to ask for. Yang Fei and Phyllis glanced at each other, responded to Yang Yuchen lightly, and continued to play chess.
Yang Yuchen was quite calm, and he kept standing by and watching them play chess, and the two elders played three games and were about to close the chess. Yang Yuchen explained the purpose of this trip.
Yang Yuchen cultivated to the middle of the third order of martial arts, and was defeated in the academy and people half a year ago, and was seriously injured, injuring the dantian and martial arts rune crystals, and used precious medicinal materials to nourish his body in half a year, but the runes on the martial arts rune crystals were damaged, and the crystal walls were also somewhat damaged, and he was almost about to expose the crystal energy in the crystal nucleus. This fire-based Sky Blasting Sword Martial Technique Crystal Nucleus is a third-order mid-grade crystal nucleus, far surpassing the ordinary third-order crystal nucleus, Yang Ting spent a lot of money to buy it for his son, and after it was damaged, he went to Ning Mingcheng and asked many rune masters to look at it, and they all said that there was no way to repair it. Finding Yang Fei here is purely a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
Mainly Yang Fei's rune crystal shop, which was just opened six years ago, just selling some ordinary rune crystals, and now in the past two years, with the improvement of Liang Jia's rune knowledge, the cultivation has progressed to the late second-order stage, and the control power of carving has also tended to be mysterious. It was possible to carve some third-order martial arts runes and sell them. Out of the psychology of trying his luck, Yang Yuchen begged Yang Fei here.
Rune master is a very rare profession, because it is very difficult to become an excellent rune master, first of all, you must have a good mental power to perceive the energy fluctuations of the crystal nucleus, the control power of the hand must be good, you must have a high IQ and memory, and you must have a lot of precious rune secret books to learn, and the true qi level must be very high. In the end, it takes a lot of crystal nuclei to practice, and the success rate of ordinary rune masters is very strong. That means that more than 70% of the crystal nuclei have been carved out. In contrast, thirteen-year-old Liang Jia's fifty-percent success rate can be called a genius.
Generally, rune masters can only carve rune crystal nuclei that are lower than their own level, for example, martial arts third-order rune masters can only carve first-order or second-order rune crystals, because when rune masters carve crystal nuclei, they have to spend a lot of energy to perceive the energy direction of the crystal nucleus, and when the spiritual power is perceived in the crystal nucleus, they have to face the rejection and suppression of crystal nucleus energy. At the same time, the luck control zhì pen knife carved runes, and followed the direction of energy to carve martial arts runes, and the rune master had no way to carve crystal nuclei of the same level as himself.
Liang Jia is definitely a being against the sky. He didn't need to use his true qi to fight against the crystal nucleus energy, nor did he need to sense the fluctuations of the crystal nucleus energy, his eyes could directly penetrate the crystal wall and watch its flow. It is only necessary to carve runes that fit the crystal nucleus, so Liang Jia can carve second-order middle-grade and even third-order low-grade martial arts runes when he is in the second order of martial arts. Yang Fei was worried that Liang Jia's talent was too shocking. The crystal nucleus that has always claimed to be in his crystal nucleus shop is only by cooperating with a reclusive rune master that he can get these good rune crystals on a regular basis.
Yang Yuchen handed over the damaged martial arts rune crystal to Yang Fei to accept, and asked him to ask the rune master to repair it. If the repair is successful, the runemaster will be rewarded with a lot of money.
At this time, Xiu'er came back. There were two other girls who came back with her, and of course Li Xiaobao.
Among the two girls, the one in red clothes is called Su Lili, slightly chubby, with a round face, and a lot of words, but she is not disgusted, and she treats herself as an outsider after a while.
Another girl, Ling Keer, is very beautiful and fair-skinned. The posture is stunning, and the ice skin is jade. But the expression is cold and arrogant, and it is not easy to approach.
Li Xiaobao looks like his mother and is very delicate, with big eyes, and he knows that he is a clever child when he looks at it. As soon as he entered the gate, he shouted: "Uncle, I came to see you, I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”
Yang Xiuer patted his head with her hand.
"You're a hungry ghost, you don't go home and come to my house to eat and drink, and it's so loud, it's really rare. ”
Li Xiaobao turned around calmly and said, "Alas, girl, don't be big or small, I'm your cousin." ”
Yang Xiuer rolled her eyes at him, and said to the second daughter, "Don't pay attention to him, let's go in, and I'll introduce my grandfather to you." ”
Entering the hall, Yang Fei, Phyllis and Yang Yuchen were all there. "Grandpa, I'm back. ”
"Grandpa, the one who came home with me today, as well as my two friends, are coming to our town to play for a few days, and they are all very good friends of my college. ”
"Good...... Good...... You're welcome, just like you're at home. ”
Li Xiaobao replied first: "I know, uncle, I will treat it as my own." ”
Xiu'er pushed Li Xiaobao away, "Go away, my grandfather is not talking to you." Lili, Kerr. This is my grandfather," Xiu'er affectionately took her grandfather's arm and introduced.
"Hello Grandpa Yang. The two women shouted
"Good...... Okay, they're all good kids. ”
"This is Uncle Philip, oh, and my cousin is also there, my cousin's name is Yang Yuchen, and he is one of the two Yang family who can practice at the Yanjing Ancient Martial Arts Academy. ”
"Uncle Philip is good, I've seen Brother Yang. ”
"Good...... Good. ”
"Hello two girls" Yang Yuchen's eyes skimmed directly over Su Lili, and when he saw Ling Ke'er, his eyebrows raised, and he turned his eyes away.
Xiu'er said to her grandfather: "Grandpa, what about Brother Wood, why haven't you seen others?"
Yang Fei: "He caught you ice fish today, and he is cooking fish in the kitchen." You take your friends to your yard to freshen up, and you'll be ready to eat right away. ”
"Oh, got it, Grandpa. Kerr, Lili, let's go in."
This time when she came to Yang's house, Su Lili came alone, Ling Ke'er brought three entourages, two men and one woman, and sent them to the door of Yang's house to find an inn in the town by herself.
