Chapter 12 Friendship is paid
Haozhuang lay quietly on the edge of the pool, his breathing slow and even. His eyes stared vacantly at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and a crystal tear flowed out of his eyes.
Li told him an ancient legend between his ancestor Taihao and Li's ancestor Changxi.
If you talk about it, he and Li can be regarded as an ancestor, but Chang Xi gave birth to ten sons and one daughter, but after Taihao's death, these ten sons and one daughter split up.
The ten sons are of the Golden Crow bloodline, but the first daughter inherited her mother and became a three-legged white bird. They each intermarried, and now in later generations, the bloodline of the ten sons of the Golden Crow is becoming thinner and thinner, and nine of them have disappeared in the long river of history, only the branch of Haozhuang's ancestor Shaohao still retains a complete bloodline. It's just that it takes several generations to be able to give birth to a pure Golden Crow bloodline.
The Chang family, who inherited the three-legged white bird, was a powerful vassal state in the east of the Great Shang, and this country was dominated by Chang women for generations. Through divination, the witch in the kingdom learned that there was an opportunity for the young princess Li with the blood of a three-legged white bird in the Southern Martial Academy of Dashang, so the lord of the country dredged up the relationship with Nan Bohou and sent the princess to the Southern Martial Academy.
Sure enough, she met Haozhuang with the blood of the golden crow here. The three-legged golden crow and the three-legged white bird complement each other, and if you can steal the opponent's martial soul as your own through special techniques, you can achieve the effect of one and two souls, complementing each other. After the strength is completed, it can urge the power of the sun and the moon at the same time, and it has unimaginable power.
Li tried his best to push Haozhuang, whose strength was growing slowly for some reason, to the peak of the ninth layer of the forging body, and the golden crow martial soul in his body was in a state of waking up from sleep, and the white bird in Li's body was also about to wake up.
The two do not exclude each other. Wait until she sweeps the Golden Crow Martial Spirit into her body. Then use your own essence and blood to nourish it. The Chang family, who also has a trace of Golden Crow blood, refines the Golden Crow Martial Soul for his own use.
"My surname is Chang, and I am the princess of Xi Kingdom, which is the bloodline of Changxi mentioned in the story. ”
"Now that your strength has reached the peak of the ninth layer of forging body, then I can also ask you for what I want, are you willing?"
"The Golden Crow Martial Soul is very important to my Xi Kingdom, you can't become a master of the True Martial Realm in ten years, even if I have a delicate heart, I can't do it with all my might. That's why I need two souls in one."
"I took the Golden Crow Martial Soul, and I will go back to Chang Country in the future, ten years later, if I can still live to enter the Southern Martial Academy, I will definitely be"
While telling him a story, she threw a black pill to him. Haozhuang, who maintained 100% trust in Li, did not hesitate to take the pill into his mouth.
When she finished telling her story and asked him for the Golden Crow Martial Soul, he couldn't move, and it was difficult for him to speak.
He couldn't believe that Lee would harm him, and something had been taken away from his heart. At the same time, he lost one thing forever in his heart.
He didn't understand what she was talking about for ten years. He only knew that Lee had been calculating him all along, and all the good he did was for today's plunder. He was willing to give his life for her to repay her for the grace of recreation, but what she did was like stabbing Haozhuang in the heart.
His heart was still aching, and he looked up at the sky. The sun rises and the moon sets, and the clouds roll up.
I don't know when, it has quietly fallen in the sky, and Haozhuang's body has long been able to move, but he has not moved from beginning to end.
It was as if he was dead, his heart was dead.
In the coldness of the rain, his bones trembled. A little Lori in a pink skirt is holding a small umbrella, and she seems to have discovered the existence of Haozhuang. Walking gently to his side, he put the umbrella over his head, looked at him carefully, and said, "Hey, it's you." ”
Haozhuang didn't pay attention to him, he couldn't open his eyes in the rain, and although he knew that someone was covering the rain above his head, he still didn't move.
"You're still the same stinky ass you used to. She kicked him in the mud with her small feet, kicking him all over the face with the muddy sewage. Only then did he rub his foot on his clothes with satisfaction.
He just rubbed his feet twice, but he was suddenly stunned, looked at Haozhuang under his feet blankly, and said: "How is it possible, how can anyone in the Southern Martial Academy know the art of soul snatching?" Then he looked at Haozhuang carefully, and finally shook his head with a sneer, and said: "It's a pity, if there is no way to reach the tenth layer of the forging body and awaken the second martial soul, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue cultivating in the future!"
She said a word, intentionally or unconsciously, and then walked gently along the lake upstream, carrying a small bamboo basket in her hand, which seemed to contain some delicious food.
Just after she left, Haozhuang's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he stroked the mud footprints on his chest that were stepped on by Xiao Lori with one hand, thinking about the words of her forging the second martial soul of the tenth layer in his mind.
He slowly got up from the ground, looked at the place where the little Lori went, then clenched his fists, raised his head and let the rain in the sky wash away the mud on his face, thinking of the Li who got along with him day and night, and a trace of firmness appeared on his face.
One day, he will catch up with the man and take back what he has lost.
He returned to the newcomer's courtyard with a cold face, Nan Chan and Jian saw Hao Zhuang coming back alone, they were stunned at first, and then Nan Chan stepped forward and pulled his sleeve and asked, "Zhuang, you disappeared with Li for a day, what are you doing?" Then he glanced behind Hao Zhuang again, and said, "Where did Li go?"
Haozhuang pushed Nanchan away without saying a word, and then walked to the place where he changed clothes, took off his muddy clothes, and put on a clean samurai uniform again.
He took out a small jade bottle from his arms, which contained a golden pill, the pill was called Jinyang Dan, which had the effect of improving the cultivation of the forging body, if he took it, although he might not be able to completely break into the tenth layer of the forging body, it could also save him at least a year of penance.
However, after some hesitation, he finally chose to give up taking Jinyang Dan. The kindness he owed to Li had been paid off, but then he didn't want to owe Li anything more.
Haozhuang is like a different person, and inexplicable sadness and resentment often appear in his eyes that were originally as clear as water.
Half a year has passed quietly, and Haozhuang's strength is still at the peak of the ninth layer of forging body, and he has had the feeling of breaking through the bottleneck once on the way, but he has never awakened the legendary second martial spirit.
Nanchan and Jane had already broken through to the Awakening Stage, and as expected, they entered the inner door. Although Haozhuang has gradually lost confidence in friendship, he is still very sad about the departure of the two.
I don't know when, he has moved out of the small courtyard where he lived at the beginning, and went to live in a deep mountain near the Southern Martial Arts Academy, thirsty to drink mountain springs, hungry to eat wild fruits.
He still dreams every night, but he doesn't dream of new things as he had at first. Once again, he was awakened by the nightmare of the thunderstorm, and his mind was always the woman with tears on her face.
She seems to be a very important person to herself, who is he?
Whenever he struggled to think about it, he always had an unbearable headache. Crazy in the mountains and forests, the legend finally jumped into the water with a pop.
He waved his hands and feet in the crazy water, but unconsciously used the twelve forms of forging body, and with the powerful help of the water, the bottleneck in his body that had not been loosened for a long time was quietly loosened.
He held his breath again and frantically cultivated the twelve forms of forging body under the water, and when he really couldn't hold back and came out of the water, he suddenly remembered that he had also cultivated underwater for many years in the dream world.
The brows on his small face were furrowed, and a mental method called internal strength in the memory fragment came to his mind, and after cultivating cross-legged for a long time, he really produced a trace of heat in his body.
Just when he was overjoyed, the heat suddenly disappeared from his body, as if it had never appeared.
He was very unwilling to practice frantically again, but he still disappeared from his body shortly after generating the heat as he had done at the beginning.
After spending a day, he scolded in great distress: "Dreams are all fake!"
Since then, he has never believed in what is in his dreams again, diving underwater every day to practice the twelve forms of body forging, winter to spring, summer is cool and autumn is cool. Later, I went to the waterfall to cultivate, and the strength in my body doubled every day.
Year after year has passed, and Haozhuang has felt as if he has broken through some bottleneck several times, but he still has not awakened the legendary second martial spirit.
This year, he was already ten years old, and according to the rules of the Martial Academy, any teenager who could not break through to the Awakening Soul Stage after reaching the age of ten would be sent to his hometown.
Haozhuang broke through to the peak of the ninth layer of the forging body within a year of being admitted to the hospital, and in the same class, the west left wing room can be described as a legendary existence, although one of the four roommates in the courtyard somehow disappeared, but the remaining three almost all reached the ninth layer of the forging body within a year.
But Haozhuang has not awakened the martial soul for nine years, which is really unbelievable.
The evaluation of his natural waste material was gradually affirmed by most of the inner disciples in the martial arts academy, but still no one dared to bully him.
The fundamental reason for this is that he has two good friends. Although the two have been living in the shadow of a little Lori named Su Mei, they have been tenaciously working hard to be good brothers.
The two were beaten by Xiao Lori again, and they came to say goodbye to Haozhuang with crutches with blue skin and swollen faces. Before leaving, Haozhuang thought about it for a while, and gave him the Taoist scriptures that his father gave him when he went out, but he couldn't understand them, and gave Jane, who looked honest, but was actually wise and foolish, and then gave the 'cutting deer' to Nanchan as a parting gift.
On his waist, he hung a three-foot Qingfeng cast by Jane, who was already in the early stage of returning to his ancestors. After harvesting the pure-hearted jade pendant given by Nanchan, who gritted his teeth, he carried his bags on his back and walked towards Haoguo with firm steps.
No one knew that at this time, in his physical body, he already had the power of ten thousand catties that only a martial artist at the peak of awakening could have. (To be continued.) )
