Chapter 1 - Ling Yi's Death
Xihe, the god of creation, divided the world into four seas and nine continents.
Zhongzhou, Shenzhou, Youzhou, and Lizhou are located in the South China Sea;
Kunlun Continent, Dazezhou is located in the West Sea;
Shuofangzhou, Penglai Zhou is located in the North Sea, and Xihezhou is located in the East China Sea.
The Protoss has lived in Xihezhou in the East China Sea for generations, and the Protoss has been transformed from celestial phenomena, and gradually formed five factions of the Protoss according to the divine power attributes of the wind, fire, water, thunder, and earth systems. Three thousand years ago, a great war broke out between the Protoss and the Lord of the Demons, Moluo, Xihezhou fell into ruins, and all the Protoss migrated to Shuofangzhou in the North Sea, as well as Penglai Continent.
The spirit clan lives in the West Sea, and the spirit clan is the herbaceous flowers and trees in the world that absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and gradually grow a spiritual core and become a living spirit body. The Spirit Race is kind and sincere, and is protected by the God Race.
The demon clan, also known as the demon clan, devours human souls and loves human blood. Hidden in Jiuzhou, no one knows where the demon clan's nest is, and they don't know why the demon clan is born, and the human race has been repeatedly violated by the demon clan.
The Terrans inhabit the four continents of the South China Sea and are ruled by Terran kings. For more than 500 years, the human race has been ruled by the Li family, and the Li family has made great efforts to govern the country, and several generations of kings have humbly accepted advice and made good use of talented people, and the human race has gradually prospered.
Among them, among the South China Sea people, there is the Zhou family.
The Zhou clan is good at blood arts, has the power to replenish the soul, and is the only group in the human race that can wipe out the demon race. Because when it casts spells, it needs to use blood, so the world is called a blood magician, also known as a soul master, there are records about Zhou's blood magician, and it is also from 3,000 years ago, and some people call Zhou a divine messenger.
There are more than 300 people in the Zhou family, more than 3,000 people in the family, and more than 5,000 people in the foreign family.
Regardless of the clan, division, or other families, all the children of the Zhou family will be registered in the register since birth, and the life records are detailed. Since the Zhou clan opened their spiritual eyes at the age of ten, their parents would send them to Zhugu to learn blood arts.
The ancestors of the Zhou family because of the merit of destroying the demons, especially the human king rewarded the Zhou ancestors with an island called Zhu Hook in Lizhou, so far, Zhu Hook has become the land of the Zhou clan, if there is a demon clan in the four continents of the South China Sea, the place will send a message to Zhu Hook, asking the Zhou blood magician to come to destroy the demon.
And this book is the story of this group of blood magicians...
At noon in the middle of summer, in the northwest office of Zhukou Island,
"Ah Yi, Xiaoyun, why are you two still here?"
Uncle Li, who was usually in charge of assigning tasks to blood magicians, looked at the two people who should have gone out yesterday in confusion, but now they were sitting in a daze in the affairs room.
Uncle Li, Zhou's family, 51 years old, the director of the affairs room, is responsible for the daily exorcism arrangements, and wears a black robe washed to gray every day, but inside is a slanted shirt, the trouser legs are rolled up to the knees, and he wears a pair of straw sandals, and his feet are stained with yellow mud. Uncle Li usually likes to tinker with a few paddy fields in the west of Zhugou, and always says that when he is older, he will go back to his hometown to farm.
Uncle Li looked at the man leaning back on a chair in the room, wearing a brocade white-trimmed crow blue robe. The man's name is Zhou Yun, 23 years old, with a wheat complexion, and a scar on his chin from hours of naughty fighting. Zhou Yun hugged the cat in the office room, as if he had no bones, sat on the chair lazily, and stroked the old black cat in his arms, with a little whitish coat.
Ah Yi, who was the same age as Zhou Yun and wore a cotton black-edged indigo deep coat, sat next to him, looking at the cat in Zhou Yun's arms with his eyes closed. Answered:
"Uncle Li, we arrived at the ferry yesterday and said that there was no boat left, and it would take ten days before the boat returned. We're here to report to you. ”
Uncle Li put the stack of investigation posts he was holding on the table, looked at the two of them with some doubts, frowned, and took out a booklet with a bright yellow cover from the pile of booklets on the table, and looked through it.
He muttered, "No, there should have been more than 20 survey boats at the ferry yesterday." Why is there no ship? ”
"We didn't know why, we went to the ferry, asked the people at the ferry, they said that all the boats had sailed in the early hours of yesterday morning, we asked what it was, and the people at the ferry didn't say." Zhou Yun stood up, hugged the cat, put the cat on the chair, and walked next to Uncle Li.
"Uncle Li, you mark it for us, and when the ship arrives, the two of us will go on a mission." Zhou Yun took out the ticket from his arms, signaled to Ah Yi, and gave the ticket to Uncle Li.
Since there was no boat at the ferry, the two of them couldn't get out of the island, let alone the mission, but even the boats that they didn't know about the ferry port actually set sail. Uncle Li paused and said, "Okay, I'll replace it for you here." “
The Blood Sorcerer departs from the Hooks and must hold a ticket to leave the Hooks. No one who does not have a ticket shall enter the hooks, nor shall he leave them. So Zhou Yun and the others had to go to Uncle Li to change the ticket.
Ah Yi sighed helplessly, thinking that he had originally thought that he would go out one more order yesterday, and then the task of this year's mission Jin could make a new soul arm for his father before his father's birthday. The soul arm that my father used before has been a little long, and the soul power has gradually dissipated, and it cannot be used for more than half of the day, and many times I don't listen to the call.
Who knew that it would not be possible to set off normally yesterday, and it would take ten days before the ship returned. It is estimated that I will not be able to catch up with my father's birthday.
Zhou Yi was worried when he thought of this question.
After the two put away the new tickets, they walked out of the office together.
Zhou Yunshen said mysteriously: "Ah Yi, go, go to my house, last month my eldest brother brought me a set of books of the human race, I promise you have never read it, there are a lot of anecdotes!" ”
After speaking, he pulled Ah Yi to go home. Ah Yi wanted to refuse, but was helplessly held by Zhou Yun, so he could only join him.
Zhou Yun is not in shape many times, and often doesn't know where to get some strange things. Since he was a child, he has often been naughty and mischievous, and often makes the elders of the clan angry half to death, Zhou Yun didn't know what he did when he was young, he was tied up by Zhou Yun's father, hung at the door of the ancestral hall, hung for three days and three nights, and his life was almost gone, before he was put down, and then Zhou Yun was much more honest than before.
However, Zhou Yunsheng was born in the Zhou family, his grandfather was an elder in the clan, he didn't worry about food and clothing since he was a child, and he had a big brother on top of him, so he developed a temperament that was not afraid of heaven and earth.
The two went to Zhou Yun's house together, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Zhou Yun's mother holding a whip and walking towards Zhou Yun angrily. said angrily: "Zhou Yun, you took advantage of the fact that your father and your grandfather were not at home these days, it turned the sky upside down, right, the Shadow Horse can't be found, and I will break your legs!" “
At this time, Zhou Yun immediately hid behind Ah Yi when he saw this, and said with a hippie smile: "Mother, mother, don't be angry, being angry is not good for your health." If you are angry, you will get old. I don't know that as soon as I let go of the reins, it will run away on its own, anyway, it is on the island, and it can't get out of the island. The mother was deflated. I've asked Tsurukaze to find the horses. “
Zhou Yun's mother Zhou Xue was even more angry, the crane wind of the foreign family was thin and small, how could he control the shadow horse, and in case the horse hurt someone, it would be bad.
The Shadow Horse is the descendant of the Shadow Horse that he married back then, he just became an adult this year, and he is a thoroughbred horse, this kid stares at the horse all day long, and takes advantage of his own inattention, so he takes the horse out, and the horse runs away, this Shadow Horse is specially given to the eldest son Zhou Lingyi, and when he comes back from this mission, let the horse recognize the master. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he raised his whip to beat Zhou Yun, but Zhou Yun blocked Zhou Yi in front, and he was afraid of accidentally injuring Zhou Yi.
Ah Yi was sandwiched between the two, Zhou Yun was glad that he was smart and called Ah Yi over in advance, so that he could avoid being whipped today. Ah Yi was really embarrassed. could only appease Zhou Yun's mother and said, "Aunt Xue is discouraged, you dissipate your anger." “
The three of them were entangled for a while, and Zhou Yun's mother, Zhou Xue, injured her body when she was born, and she has not recovered yet. After a few back and forth, Zhou Yun's mother was also a little out of breath.
Zhou Yun's mother finally said: "If you have one-tenth of Ah Yi's sensibility, you are the same age, see how much more sensible Ah Yi is than you?!" When your father comes back, he will naturally take care of you. With that, he threw the whip on the ground.
Then he explained to the two guys around him, find more people to go out to look for horses, and protect Hefeng, who was thin and small, was kicked by the Shadow Horse, and was afraid that he would have to lie in bed for several months.
Seeing that his mother no longer wanted to beat herself, Zhou Yun hurriedly stepped forward to coax her mother, and waited for Zhou Yun's mother to be angry. Zhou Yun's mother likes Ah Yi's child, she is sensible and obedient, and she just happened to be at home today, so she hurriedly asked the kitchen to start preparing dinner, and left Ah Yi to come down for dinner tonight.
Ah Yi couldn't shirk it, so he agreed to stay and eat. In the study, the two of them looked at the book that Zhou Ling brought back together, and the book told strange things, and the two were very fascinated. Seeing the back, Zhou Yun said: "One day, I will go through all the places written in these books." Then he wrote a book and sold him for 10 gold. Richer than the emperor. “
Ah Yi smiled helplessly, Zhou Yun was always so out of tune.
I don't know how long later, my mother sent someone to pass the word and go to the front hall for dinner.
Zhou Yun's father and grandfather have been in the ancestral hall these days, and the two often don't go home for a few days in the ancestral hall all year round, and Zhou Yun is also used to it. He grew up in Zhou Ling's area since he was a child, and his eldest brother has been on frequent missions in the past five years, and it is rare to see his eldest brother, and there are only him and his mother in the family, as well as Hefeng who occasionally comes over to eat.
After the three of them finished eating, Zhou Yun's mother went back to the house, and Zhou Yun asked Ah Yi to go to his house together, saying that he had something to give him. A servant came in from outside and said that Tsurukaze had found the Shadow Horse.
After a while, the thin little Hefeng came over with a dirty body, his hair, face, and legs were covered with lumps of mud, Zhou Yun saw Hefeng's embarrassed appearance, laughed, and said, "Where did you run here, did you fall into the mud." Hahahaha. ”
Ah Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said angrily: "Didn't he go to find a horse for you?" You're still laughing here, the culprit. ”
Zhou Yun suddenly realized that he was in trouble and asked Hefeng to wipe his buttocks, scratched his head embarrassedly, and hurriedly picked up the basin, preparing to wash Hefeng's face with a basin.
However, Hefeng's expression was a little abnormal, and he said next to Zhou Yun: "Brother Yun, the Shadow Horse has been found, and it has been tethered to the stable, go into the house, I have something to tell you." ”
Zhou Yun couldn't help but get excited when he saw that Hefeng had an abnormal expression, and there was definitely some exclusive news, but he was not in a hurry for a while.
said: "You better wash your face first, like a mud monkey." ”
Hefeng waved his hand and said, "Brother Yun, let's go in first, it's not too late for me to go home and wash later." ”
Zhou Yun saw that Hefeng was a little strange, so he turned around and entered the back room, and Hefeng and Ah Yi followed.
When he arrived in the back room, Hefeng just wanted to speak, Zhou Yun suddenly thought of something, hurriedly waved his hand, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll give things to Ah Yi first, so that I don't always forget." ”
Zhou Yun rummaged through a large camphor box next to his bedside and turned around.
Zhou Yun handed Ah Yi a five-foot-long and two-foot-wide box,
said: "This is the thank you gift for saving me last time, I have never liked to owe favors." The power should be cleared. ”
Last time, Ah Yi and Zhou Yun went out in distress, Ah Yi rescued Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun didn't want to owe favors. Take advantage of today to give a thank you gift to Ayi.
Ah Yi felt that this was nothing, and wanted to shirk it, Zhou Yun was a little impatient and said, "Oops! It's not a valuable thing, just ask you to take it. You can open it again when you get home, and we brothers still talk about this. ”
directly threw the box to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was worried that the box would fall to the ground, so he hurriedly caught it and accepted it.
"Okay, what the hell is going on?"
Zhou Yun sat on the Luohan chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked Hefeng. Zhou Yun couldn't stop being excited, all the boats at the ferry yesterday sailed at once, something big must have happened, but yesterday he and Ah Yi asked for someone for a long time, but they didn't hear any useful news.
"Brother Ling Yi is dead." Crane Wind lowered his voice and said.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Yun and Zhou Yi exclaimed at the same time, and Zhou Yun stood up directly, crushing the teacup in his hand.
His face was full of anger, Crane Wind, where did he hear this nonsense. He can make other jokes, but he can't accept this kind of joke.
"Where did you get the news here, it's fake, who can hurt him in this world?" Ah Yi grabbed Zhou Yun, who was a little angry, afraid that he would beat Hefeng in the next second, so he confirmed to Hefeng again.
Zhou Lingyi, except for the group of elders in the ancestral hall, is the strongest person in the blood sealing technique, he opened the spiritual eye at the age of five, and he opened the spiritual eye earlier than all the blood magicians recorded in the genealogy, normally speaking, the blood magicians basically open the spiritual eye at the age of about 10. After opening the spiritual eye, you have soul power, and you can start cultivating the art of blood sealing. Ling Yi is 29 years old this year, he is already a fourth-order blood magician, the other fourth-order blood magicians are all fourth-order when they are in their sixties, and the highest level is the fifth order, so far there is only one patriarch who has been there, this one is the first patriarch of the Zhou clan. And yet that's how he was, dead. Who will believe such news.
Hefeng was a little timid, shrunk his neck, and didn't dare to look at Zhou Yun, as if looking at Ah Yi with the eyes of asking for help.
Zhou Yun calmed down, and Hefeng probably wouldn't spread some things about Brother Ling Yi. He sat down and motioned for Tsurukaze to continue.
Crane Wind swallowed his saliva and said:
"Brother Yun, it's really not me cursing Brother Ling, it's true. The day before yesterday, there was a raven, died by the east pond of Zhujiao, the raven's beak contained a ring of enlightenment, was picked up by a few children who had just opened their eyes from our family, they gave it to the older people, and they recognized it as the ring of Ling Yi's eldest brother, and now the patriarch does not tell the outside world. I looked for a horse today, went to the East Pond, and then chatted with a few children from outside the family, and I heard about it. ”
After death, the living soul is annihilated, the original soul enters reincarnation, the awakened soul returns to the earthly world, and the awakened soul will gradually dissipate over time. After the death of the Zhou clan, in order to prevent the soul from being used by the demon clan, the soul of the blood magician will be sealed in the ring by the Zhou's unique sealing ring and brought back by the raven.
After the Zhou clan opened their spiritual eyes, if they decided to become a blood magician, they would cut off the ring finger of their left hand, and then take a strand of their hair, integrate it into the meteoric iron water, and make a ring by the Zhou craftsman. After the death of the Blood Sorcerer, the Ring of Awakening automatically seals his soul, and the Ring of Awakening turns from brown to blood red.
The raven brings the Ring back to the hooks, and the Bloodmage can open his eyes to determine who the owner of the Ring is, and according to the Raven's instructions, he can also know where the Bloodmage died.
"Are you sure that there is Brother Ling Yi's Awakened Soul in that ring?" Ah Yi still didn't believe it, if Brother Ling Yi's ring was lost, or if he was just injured.
Hefeng secretly glanced at Zhou Yun a few times, and saw that Zhou Yun had no other reaction. He continued:
"It's to confirm that the soul of Brother Ling Yi has been sealed. When the children picked it up, they confirmed that the ring was blood-red and had sealed the soul. To be able to enter Ling Yi's Awakening Ring, only Ling Yi's own Awakening Soul is left.
Yes, only my own Awakening Soul can be sealed by my own Awakening Ring, could it be that Brother Ling Yi really encountered an accident?
Ah Yi stopped talking, and Zhou Yun sat on the chair and didn't speak.
Crane Wind continued: "There is another thing, the ancestral hall was stolen, and the key to the middle door of the ancestral hall was stolen. Now it's going around to find out who took it. ”
