Qingdu is adjacent to Xiongguan in the northwest of Dayong. It is the metropolis of Liangzhou. It has been beautiful since ancient times and is a place where bandits and relatives should not live. Although it is not as prosperous and prosperous as the sacred land of the Central Plains, it is not the desolation of the long sands that the Central Plains people imagined. location.
Autumn, the fifteenth year of Qingyuan.
After a heavy rain that stopped in the middle of the night, the sand and dust all over the city of Qingdu were washed away along with the remaining heat.
The dusty streets of Qingque Road rarely reveal their true appearance. The bluestone slabs, polished over time, look like they are dyed in blue, and complement the blue sky, perfectly interpreting what Qingdu is.
It just so happens that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which makes this autumn rain that moistens the earth even more festive.
"I almost forgot, this world also has a Mid-Autumn Festival..."
Lin Yue sat back on the lounge chair in his small courtyard, looking up at the lush golden-leaf elm tree in the courtyard, with some nostalgic melancholy in his eyes.
In my previous life, there was also such a golden-leaf elm planted in front of my house.
Unfortunately, the tree is no longer the same tree, and the world is no longer the same world.
Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season.
In his previous society with developed transportation, he had no special feelings about this poem. It was not until now, when he found that it was impossible to return to his hometown, that he really had a profound understanding of it.
"It's been a year so soon..."
Calculate the time.
Lin Yue has been in this world for almost a year.
Even though the world we lived in in our previous life had its disadvantages, it was still 10,000 times better than this boring ancient feudal society with weak awareness of human rights.
The only thing worth gratifying is——
This is not a simple ancient world, there are also real practitioners.
This is very desirable.
However, the existence of cultivators also makes the hierarchy in this world more strict and cruel.
But he traveled through time and became a mortal with no qualifications for cultivation.
This is very helpless.
"Fortunately, I didn't die..."
Lin Yue grunted and leaned lazily on the recliner, "If you wait a little longer, maybe you can get the secret method to change your qualifications in the future."
at this time--
"Dong dong dong."
Outside the courtyard door, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Then, a soft girl's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Yue, are you at home?"
"Xiaotong? Wait a minute and I will open the door." Lin Yue stood up immediately after hearing this and walked towards the courtyard door.
I heard that she was the youngest daughter of the Wang family next door. She was a relatively familiar person among several families in this alley.
"Ah... no, brother Yue, don't open the door."
The girl outside the door said nervously: "I'm just here to give you a box of mooncakes. I'll say a few words to you through the door and then leave. You can open the door again later, otherwise... Sister Ziqiu will misunderstand... …”
Lin Yue was speechless.
Only then did he realize that in the eyes of outsiders, he still had an unmarried 'wife'.
It is indeed inappropriate to meet other women in private.
Besides, he knew the slightest admiration for him in this girl's heart...
I think she has more of a 'guilty conscience'.
"Okay." Lin Yue stopped at the door and asked through the door: "Xiaotong, did you just talk about moon cakes?"
"Yes, it's the mooncakes my mother just made. Don't accept them."
After the girl outside the door finished speaking, she seemed to hesitate for a while before asking: "Brother Yue, how is sister Ziqiu's illness? I haven't seen her for a long time."
"It's still the same. I can only lie in bed every day and wake up only once in a long time." Lin Yue sighed.
There was silence outside the door for a long time before a soft sigh came from the door.
"Brother Yue, your relationship with Sister Ziqiu is so good. You still take care of her at this time. I envy Sister Ziqiu so much... Ah, no..."
The girl seemed to realize that she had made a mistake, and her voice became a little panicked.
"I-I'm leaving first... Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
After a moment of silence, the girl's thin and rapid footsteps gradually faded away.
Lin Yue opened the courtyard door, and there was a bamboo food box at the door.
He glanced at the corner of the alley not far away and smiled dumbly.
Immediately, he picked up the food box, returned to the courtyard, and sat down at the stone table under the tree.
Opening the food box, Lin Yue couldn't help but mutter to himself: "It's not Cantonese-style mooncakes, why is it the same as naan... I want to eat lotus paste and egg yolk..."
I tore off a piece of bread and tasted it. It was freshly baked, but it had a different flavor.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At this time——
"Well……"
Suddenly, a weak low groan came from the room behind him.
"Awake up so soon?" Lin Yue turned his head and glanced, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips.
He stood up immediately, opened the sand-proof curtain at the door, and walked into the house.
A strong herbal smell filled the house.
The source of the medicinal smell was the young woman on the bed.
She was lying weakly on the bed, her face was sickly pale, and her eyebrows were full of haggard. Although she was a little thin and her complexion was not good, it could be seen that she was once a pretty beauty.
Now she can be called a sick beauty.
"It's only been eight hours. You've been waking up faster and faster lately. It seems you've begun to resist the medicine."
Lin Yue smiled at her and sat down by the bed.
Immediately, he lifted up the quilt, groped around her thin body through the thin clothes, and began to carefully examine the bones and joints of her body.
During the whole process, although the thin young woman did not resist, or could not resist, she always stared at him with hateful eyes.
The hatred in it seemed to be that he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Don't look at me like that, I feel disgusted too."
Lin Yue talked to himself, while patiently pressing and checking every bone and joint, "But it must be checked to prevent you from recovering secretly."
It wasn't until it was confirmed that every bone and joint of her body was softer and boneless than that of an ordinary woman that she stopped.
Immediately, he nodded slightly and praised: "You have really good bones. You are still alive after eating so much bone powder. You are indeed the most noble bloodline in the world. It is indeed extraordinary."
The muscles in the corners of the young woman's eyes kept twitching, and the resentment in her eyes was about to burst out.
But when placed on this delicate and beautiful face, it seemed that there was no murderous look at all.
"By the way, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Sister Xiaoyu also gave us a box of mooncakes."
As he spoke, Lin Yue casually pinched the cheek of the woman on the bed, skillfully took out a brown medicine ball the size of a walnut from her mouth and put it aside, "It's a pity that your teeth can't eat mooncakes now, so you should continue to drink porridge."
The young woman opened her mouth with difficulty, but her mouth and tongue were numb and stiff, and she could not speak even a single word.
"Are you hungry? Still want to scold me?"
Lin Yue glanced at her and said calmly: "Don't worry. With your physique, after taking out this Wu Ma Powder, the effect of the medicine can only make you paralyzed and speechless for a moment and a half. Let's wait a while."
After a while.
"Drink quickly."
Lin Yue held a bowl of vegetable porridge mixed with medicinal powder in one hand, pinched the young woman's nose with the other hand, and poured it into her mouth.
The woman seemed to be extremely hungry. Although her mouth and tongue were stiff and slow, she still tried her best to swallow.
After a while, the bowl of porridge was finished.
Lin Yue placed the empty bowl on the table beside him, picked up the brown black wheat powder ball, and was about to stuff it into her mouth again.
"etc."
The young woman spoke a little hastily, but the numbness had not completely passed, and her speech was a little unclear.
Lin Yue stopped and looked at her with interest, "What do you want to say?"
The young woman stared at him and was silent for a while. Then she said slightly slurring her words: "I know you hate me to the core. Why don't you torture me or kill me? You can use this to destroy me and support me." , what’s the point of turning me into this?”
"significance?"
Lin Yue smiled, his smile full of joy: "Seeing you become like this, reduced to a useless person waiting to die, I feel very happy, how can it be meaningless?"
The young woman was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said angrily: "You despicable pariah! If you can, kill me. I... uh uh..."
Before she could finish her words, Lin Yue pinched her thin cheeks and directly stuffed the Wu Ma powder ball into her mouth. It immediately filled her mouth and made her unable to say a word.
Soon, the power of Wu Ma San numbed her mouth and tongue.
"Everyone thinks you are my unmarried wife Su Ziqiu, so how could I kill you? Besides, it's only been two months, so you can enjoy it slowly."
Lin Yue sneered and wiped the saliva from his fingertips on her quilt with some disgust.
Then he stood up and walked out of the house.
He came outside, sat down on the couch in the courtyard again, and looked at the blue sky in silence.
After a while, he sighed silently.
"How long can I keep it secret? If this continues..."
I do not know how long it has been.
A gust of wind blew through the golden leaf elm tree in the courtyard, causing the golden leaves on the tree to rustle.
Suddenly--
"clang!"
A loud sound, like the sound of a bell hitting a bell, suddenly exploded in Lin Yue's mind!
At the same time, everything in front of me seemed to have stopped in an instant. The leaves of the elm leaves that were blown by the wind stopped swinging completely, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
Everything was silent.
Only the high-pitched and majestic bells were left, reverberating like thunder in my mind.
"Today's bell finally came. When did it ring?"
Lin Yue had long been used to it and was not surprised. He was just happy.
Listen carefully immediately.
"clang!"
After another high-pitched and majestic bell, a vague and illusory whisper, indistinguishable from male to female, rang in my mind -
"Did you know? Although there are various cultivation paths in the world, there are only seven paths that are expected to break through all the heavenly barriers. And the one with the greatest potential among the seven paths can only be practiced after the bloodline of the Dayong Royal Family has awakened..."
Immediately, this ethereal whisper disappeared without a trace, and the still leaves of the elm tree in front of me began to sway gently in the wind again.
Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"Seven paths? The path of cultivation with the greatest potential. Only the royal family can practice it?"
Lin Yue frowned slightly, and then sighed helplessly in his heart: "Although it is Erxiang's secret, I don't even have the qualifications to practice, so it won't help me at all..."
That's what he's up to.
In other words, it is a special ability that he awakened after coming to this world.
In the parlance of this world, it should be called 'innate supernatural power'.
Every one or two days, a strange bell would suddenly ring in his mind, and then a whisper would appear, telling him a 'secret' that he did not understand.
Judging from the pattern over the past year——
The more times the bell rang before the voice revealed its secrets, the more 'advanced' the secrets he heard seemed to be.
In one year, he has already obtained two to three hundred secrets.
The most advanced secret is an eight-ring level, followed by a five-ring level, a four-ring level, a three-ring level only twice, and a two-ring level only six times.
As for the other two hundred or so secrets, they are all of the first-ring level.
The first-level secrets are basically just the little secrets of ordinary people around you.
For example, Uncle Wang next door was born sterile, but he has three children.
For example, Miss Xiaoyue from Zuichun Tower buried one hundred and fifty taels of silver under an old locust tree in the north of the city.
For example, Zhang Hai, the fat and fair shopkeeper of Guangjuxuan, has always been rude to women, but physically very modest. He can be called Ruan Xiaoer.
Starting from the second ring, it basically involves the secrets of practitioners.
For example, bone powder formula.
It was a relic of a Taoist practitioner that he discovered through a second-level secret.
He also learned about the 'innate magical power' from a second-level secret.
There are indeed a very small number of people in the world who can awaken their innate supernatural powers, which can be said to happen once in hundreds of millions of people, but there is no pattern.
Moreover, once the bloodline of the Dayong royal family of the current Dynasty is awakened, it is also possible to awaken the innate magical power.
only……
I'm afraid he is an anomaly with such a unique innate magical power.
Secrets that reach the level of three rings are already at a level that ordinary people will never have access to.
The secrets of the Fourth Ring Level let him know more about the mysterious things about the Dayong Royal Family.
And the secret of the five-ring level allowed him to find a rare treasure that even practitioners dream of.
As for the eight rings...
He didn't dare to reveal anything at all.
That was a terrible secret that could shock the world.
