There are a total of thirteen constellations in the starry sky of the continent of Tamriel, which can be seen all year round, so the year on the continent is divided into twelve months. Three of them are the main stars, which are the Warrior, Mage, and Thief Stars, which are called guardian constellations by the people on the mainland, and they each have three secondary stars. Together, they defend against the thirteenth zodiac sign ~ Pit Viper.

Because the constellation Pit Viper has a predictable trajectory and meanders across the sky, it looms in the sky only one night a month. Whenever Pit Viper appears, it encroaches on the light of other constellations, like a great snake devouring the starry sky. Therefore, although Pit Viper exists in the starry sky, it is not loved by people, and there is no place for Pit Viper in the twelve months of the continent's age composition.

Those born under the constellation "Pit Viper" are said to have very few favors from the gods or the affection of the devil, but this is usually not a good thing on the mainland, as they often disrupt the existing order on the continent.

To the west of the town of Keimu, a large river runs between the mountains, and when the snow melts from the mountains, it gathers at the lowest point of the mountains to form this wide river. Because of the difference between the mountains, there are majestic waterfalls and waterholes in many places, and some citizens of Skyrim who are unwilling to pay the city residence tax and desire personal freedom will live near these places and make a living by hunting and fishing.

The abundant water resources make countless animals in the nearby forests come to drink and play. Hunters uphold the traditional concept of not killing females and young animals, only hunting old, weak, crippled and male animals, for a long time, hunters and animals have maintained a relative balance between this long body of water. Many animals that have failed in battles, or who are old and decrepit, or accidentally disabled, will automatically come here, let themselves be killed by hunters, cut off their flesh, and send them to the market to sell, and after the hunters die, they will also be eaten by animals, and a simple ecosystem is formed.

The orc girl Ann and her new escort Lu were resting on a river beach west of Ximu Town, and not far away were three lonely stone monuments. These steles are in the shape of a Mitsubishi cone, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, covered with thick vines and mud.

"It's this!" An shouted happily, removing the covering from the stone tablet, and the contents below appeared in front of Lu Xihua's eyes. Each of the three steles is carved with three star charts, each consisting of several stars, and next to them are carved three small portraits of warriors, thieves, and mages.

"I am a Lady sign, a companion planet of Warrior. As she explained, Ann knelt in front of the stele with the portrait of the warrior in an orderly manner, and put her hand on the stele with words in her mouth.

Lu Xihua's eyebrows flashed, and he suddenly felt a faint aura emanating from the girl, and this breath lit up one of the star charts on the stone tablet. A ray of light rose from the top of the stone tablet, and even in the daytime, it could still be seen shooting straight into the sky, as if it had formed some pattern.

"This is star power? Where does it come from? Where is the body that attracts it?" Lu Xihua's eyes were between his eyes, above the gate of heaven, the pearl was blooming, and the orc girl An suddenly had a clear distinction in his eyes at this moment, just like the human body map displayed in the university biology class, countless blood vessels, meridians, and organs were displayed in Lu Xihua's mind one by one, and the mystery of the girl's physical body was displayed in Lu Xihua's eyes.

In Lu Xihua's mind, the source of the power of the orc girl, which triggered the starry sky pattern, actually came from her brain, and the brain of the orc is no different from that of ordinary humans, which are all symbols of intelligent creatures. At the intersection of the brain and the cerebellum, there is a small reddish oval body, which is now glowing, faintly echoing the pattern of stars in the sky.

"Pineal gland?!It's actually here!" Lu Xihua, who had received a university education in that world, could naturally recognize the name of this part, and he couldn't imagine that the source of feeling the star power was actually here!

Lu Xihua couldn't help but sink his thoughts into his brain, and a shock suddenly came, and at this moment, Lu Xihua was like he was drunk, and his head was a little groggy.

"It's still too reckless, how can such a sloppy place be so important. Lu Xihua regretted it a little, it seemed that the mystery in his mind was the key to unlocking the star power, but now it seemed that it was like a monolith. His mind just now rushed into action, as if wood had hit the steel, and the whole person was a little dazed by the impact, which was a situation that Lu Xihua had never had since he became a qi collector.

"Lu, what's wrong with you?" An noticed that Lu Xihua was a little strange, and immediately asked.

Lu Xihua shook his hand, he had recovered, "What were you doing just now?"

As soon as Ann heard Lu Xihua's inquiry, she immediately became happy, "I'm praying! I'll tell you a secret, I seem to have felt the Lady Star answer me just now, and the Lady Star is a secondary star of the Warrior Constellation." Just now I was praying to her, and I felt a pair of loving eyes in the sky watching me, silently giving me care and courage. Speaking of this, a solemnity appeared on Ann's face, "Merciful Lady Star, I hope you can bless me to find my way home." ”

Lu Xihua shook his head, "Ann, as your bodyguard, I have one word of advice for you: it is not safe to pin your hopes on the gods of nothingness. Only on your own is the most real. ”

An nodded excitedly, tilted his head and said, "Yes, if An has such a strong martial arts skill, he will not be bullied." But Ann also likes Lady Star, because whenever Ann is in trouble, she gives me warmth and encouragement like a mother. ”

Lu Xihua understood that this orc girl regarded the lady star of the sky as her mother, and she was abducted and trafficked thousands of miles away since she was a child, and she was tortured alone, and it is estimated that only the silent stars in the sky were watching her, giving her the courage to live and the hope of returning home. In this way, the so-called gods are still somewhat useful.

"Ann, you will have the strength to protect yourself. Lu Xihua touched the girl's head lovingly, which made the girl a little embarrassed.

After dinner, the girl opened her eyes and asked, "Lu, can I really learn your martial arts?"

Lu Xihua smiled, "You can learn, this is not a martial art, this is a force." Force comes from everyone's body, it is a manifestation of self, just like everyone's heart, force comes from the heart, and everyone's strength performance is different. ”

Ann was a little confused when she heard this, "Did Lu mean that some people are very smart, some people are strong, and some people are very agile?"

Lu Xihua smiled, "It can also be understood in this way, once you have strength in your body, you can also be smart, and at the same time, you can be strong and agile." ”

"So what is force? Ann sounds confused. The girl scratched her head in anguish, as an orc, it was a painful thing to think too much.

"In this way, you can attack me in any form. Lu Xihua stood up, closed his eyes and said.

Ann listened carefully to Lu Xihua's words, and believed very much, and immediately jumped up, and hid in the dense jungle with a short body, but she did not have a bow and arrow for hunting. She thought it was extremely bad to use a bow and arrow against an invisible person, even if that person was much more powerful than her.

Lu Xihua stood in place, his hands behind his back, as if he didn't care about anything, only the mountain wind gently blew on the hem of his clothes, and the whole figure merged with the river beach, the jungle and the meadow.

Suddenly, a huge wooden stick suddenly appeared behind Lu Xihua, and ran towards Lu Xihua's back, and the force seemed to be very strong, and it actually made a sound of breaking the air.

"Yes, he has courage, he seems to have suffered a lot, and he is also very kind, and he did not attack the back of my head. Lu Xihua didn't know when he had turned around, stretched out two fingers, and gently and skillfully clamped the thick-looking wooden stick into his fingers, and the end of the wooden stick was an incredibly small face with a big mouth.

"Is this the force?" said Ann excitedly.

Lu Xihua nodded, "You have suffered for a long time before, and you have a lot of injuries on your body. You see, your palms, legs, and arms are all over the joints, and your skin is rough. These are all signs of long-term suffering, physical damage. Look at me again. As he spoke, Lu Xihua spread out his palm, as smooth as jade, shining a crystal complexion in the moonlight, slightly ruddy, like a newborn baby.

Soothed and touched Lu Xihua's hand, with an incredible expression, "Lu, your skin is so smooth and elastic." Better than those noble ladies and ladies, how did you do that? Looking at the skin, you really can't tell that you are a warrior, it is simply better than the skin of a child. Ann said as she poked her fingers hard at it, and when she poked it, it was a small pit, and her skin immediately bounced up again.

"This is the effect of force, the natural effect of every organ in your body when it is strong. Speaking of this, Lu Xihua stretched out his fist, and suddenly pinched it, and suddenly the whole arm was a big circle, which was four or five times larger than before, and his complexion turned from white jade to white gold, and the whole arm seemed to be made of steel, not like a human body. The arm stretched out five fingers and slashed at the waist-thick wooden stake next to it, and suddenly the stake cracked into eight pieces, the size of the blocks, more neat than those sawed with a saw.

"How did you do that?" Lu! It's amazing!" Ann covered her mouth, for fear of screaming.

"That's the essence of power. The first step is to practice to erect the fur so that the power in the body can reach all parts of the body, and the nutrients can naturally be transmitted to all parts of the body. At this point, the old skin on your skin will fall off and become smooth, and the bones and joints on your body will shrink and become heavier and heavier, and finally no weapon will be able to hurt you. ”

"Then how do you put the fur on end?" Ann hurriedly asked.

"Have you ever seen animals get angry, especially tigers and leopards, when they are so angry that their whole body hair stands up like needles. This is fried hair, also called standing hair. We are the same, sometimes, in special circumstances, there will be many small bumps on the skin, and the hair will rise. Lu Xihua patiently explained.

"I knew that! I met saber-toothed tigers and panthers in the forest, and when they chased me, my body tensed, and at that moment I didn't think about anything, I knew to run. But after that, I don't usually feel that way anymore, do I have to be in danger to understand?"

Lu Xihua shook his head and brought Ann up in front of him, "Remember it." As he spoke, he put one hand on Ann's shoulder and the other towards the back of Ann's neck.

Starting from the back of his head, and then inch by inch, Lu Xihua's fingers moved down the joints of the vertebrae and nudged them, and with each inch of joints moved, An felt as if his body was straightening up little by little. At the same time, the movement of the bone joints also drove the movement of the bones of the whole body and the expansion and contraction of the muscles, and Ann only felt that the whole body was hot and the body was slightly sweating.

Suddenly, Lu Xihua's finger touched the tip of Ann's tail vertebrae.

Ann felt the weight of her whole body, and suddenly drooped to the end of her buttocks, where there seemed to be an invisible tail, and her whole body was like a wild cat that had stepped on its tail. All the sweat and heat that emanated before seemed to be forced back at this moment.

"The tail of an animal is balanced and controlled, and the hair of a ferocious animal will explode as soon as the tail is erected. The tail of a human is degenerate, so it is not as sensitive as an animal. You often have to feel this way in the future, so that your senses can reach your limbs. I'll teach you a few more movements, and when you do it, you have to keep this feeling in your heart, so that it can be effective and help you better feel the force in your body. ”

The first martial arts teaching, it happened in this situation, Lu Xihua only taught the principle, teaching according to aptitude, the girl listened to it ignorantly, and felt that it made sense, but she couldn't say where it was good.

------ Dividing Line------

The water waves of the white flowers rushed down from the cliff wall like a roll of white cloth, standing by the waterfall, the river water hit the waterhole and made a loud sound, a shadow appeared on the water, slowly stepping on the water step by step, as if the deep waterhole was like flat ground at the moment.

If you look closer, you can see that the figure is barefoot, and its toes cover the water, emitting a peculiar bowen, and these ripples interfere with each other, stirring up a little splash, and with these splashes, the figure stands on the water.

One step at a time, the figure did not run in the pool, but walked forward, and just like that, with a little splash of water under his feet, he stepped out of a regular circle, and suddenly, the figure seemed to have lost all its strength, and without making a sound, it fell into the water. With his legs crossed, he sat on the stone at the bottom of the water, and the sunlight passed through the surface of the pool and shone on the bottom of the water, revealing the appearance of the person, who was Lu Xihua.

"Treading the waves" is to rely on one's own strength to evenly distribute on the water surface, and then act on the reaction force of the water surface to support one's body forward, and the consumption of physical strength is very terrifying. At this moment, Lu Xihua's whole body strength was exhausted, sitting at the bottom of the pool, feeling the huge water pressure around him, and a scene appeared in his mind.

Countless ravines appear in front of you, as if the reckless mountains, in the depths of the mountains, there is a cyan stone gate, simple and heavy, like a circle but not a circle, like a square not a square. The stone door is decorated with quaint patterns, rich and delicate, one by one, like the twists and turns of the brain.

"Pineal gland!" Lu Xihua thought of the name, "Open it and I can feel the star power!"

Lu Xihua's divine thoughts at this moment turned into a ray of light, shining on the stone gate, and turned into a white light with all his might. Lu Xihua didn't dare to use other methods, he had found this stone gate in his mind after he was exhausted before. At first, he was ready to open it violently, but he was shocked by the force of the stone gate, and he actually made his seven orifices bleed, Lu Xihua didn't dare to use force anymore, and using violence to break the door was simply suicide.

At this moment, Lu Xihua turned his divine thoughts into a pillar of light and shone on the stone gate, and constantly tried his best but still failed to shake the stone gate by half a point, but his spirit became weaker and weaker, obviously because the divine thoughts were consumed too much, and he didn't dare to try again, so he immediately retreated, and suddenly felt a burst of weakness in his body. "No wonder some people suffer from lovesickness, and they are getting thinner and thinner day by day, and this mental consumption is more terrible than the physical consumption. ”

"Lu, we're ready to go!" An waved his hand at the edge of the pool, and the girl exuded vitality, clearly looking like she had learned martial arts.

"Okay!" Lu Xihua's figure just soared into the sky, and when he landed on the shore, there were no droplets of water on his body.

Ann's eyes were staring at Lu Xihua's clothes, and she had long coveted this set of clothes.

"Let's go, it's been a month, and we should take the dragon stone back, otherwise, the lord will think that we will take the deposit and run away. Lu Xihua said.

"Yes, yes, yes! Ann Hao misses the warm quilt of the hotel. The girl's small head kept nodding, and seemed to agree with Lu Xihua's statement.

"Alas, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. After Lu Xihua said this, he strode away. The girl shook her head, Lu often said things she didn't understand, what a strange person. 21010
