The capital of Yuezhou, Lanling City.
"Aji, here's this month's wages!" After loading two heavy bags of rice into the cabin of the boat, the pretty little maid dangled a purse and skipped to a stop in front of Aji and handed it to Aji.
Aji wiped his hands on his clothes with a smile, took the purse, was slightly stunned, and said: "Sister Yuanyuan, I gave it to you by mistake. I earn eight taels of silver a month, and there are ten taels in it."
The little maid known as Sister Yuanyuan smiled and said: "That's right. The girl said that she invited you here to record articles, but she assigned you a lot of hard work. The extra two taels of silver are for you. Take it. .”
Aji shook his head: "It's just a little hard work, not worth two taels of silver. Please thank Sister Yuanyuan for me." With that, he took out eight taels of silver from his purse and handed the remaining two taels of silver together with the purse. Round.
Yuanyuan glared at Aji with an irritated look: "Just take it if I ask you to, don't you think you can't spend it? If you can't spend it, just save it to marry a wife later."
Aji was still smiling, but insisted on holding up the purse. Yuanyuan stamped her feet, reached out to grab the purse, and snorted: "You deserve to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"
Aji didn't answer, just smiled. Yuanyuan didn't know what to say, so she took out a stack of newspapers from her sleeve and handed it to Aji.
"Here, this is the latest issue of "Da Xuan Min Bao". Mom bought it for guests to read. There is no one on the boat now, so you can take it and read it. You will save money and buy it."
Aji waved his hand again: "Thank you, Sister Yuanyuan, but no, I have to buy it. When I buy them all, I can bind them into a book."
When Yuanyuan saw that Aji was unwilling to accept her kindness, she snorted, said "Don't pull her down", turned around and walked into the cabin of the boat. Aji scratched the back of his head and saw the little maid walking away, so he followed the sampan and jumped onto the shore.
"It's the hardest thing to bear the kindness of a beauty." Aji sighed inwardly, but he knew that the extra two taels of silver was not given by some girl, but the little maid who dug it out of her own money. his.
And that purse, the little maid took advantage of the girl's sleep and stayed up late under the moonlight to embroider it stitch by stitch.
But how could he be able to accept this friendship?
…
His name is Aji, and he has no idea who his father is. His mother is a singing prostitute on a boat on the ten-mile drunken star river. After giving birth to him, his mother threw himself into the Zui Xing River. He only grew up by relying on the support of one of the painted boats on the river. He was not very talented, but he was more practical. He relied on rote memorization to learn elegant literature.
It's a pity that he didn't awaken the talent of reading through.
I originally thought that this would be it for the rest of my life. I would save money for half my life, find a decent woman to get married, have a few children, and hope that they can awaken their talents in reading, and then use their lives to earn money to exchange for their future, and then in illness or aging. die.
Until, he read "Swordsman".
Aji didn't know what happened to others, but he found that after reading "The Swordsman", he felt "qi" in his body.
He grew up on a painting boat and had seen many romantic and talented people. He naturally knew what "qi" was, but that "qi" was different from others, it was colorful.
The "Colorful Qi" was not big, it was only about the size of a soybean at first. Aji thought of those Confucian scholars discussing how to increase Haoran's righteousness, so he bought all the "Great Vocational Daily", cut out "Swordsman", bound it into a book, read it over and over again, and imagined the words in the text. world, to imagine everyone in the text. He found that the "qi" in his body was slowly increasing!
This discovery was like letting Aji grab a board when he was drowning. He held on tightly and refused to let go. He didn't know what the "Seven Colors Qi" did, but he could feel that this was his chance to change his life.
He doesn't want to miss it!
…
After squeezing out of the crowded sales point, Aji took the "Swordsman" he had just bought and found a tea stall at random, ordered the cheapest big bowl of tea, and started reading.
In "The Swordsman", his favorite character is not the protagonist Linghu Chong, nor the hermit-like Feng Qingyang, but the chic and domineering Ren Woxing.
Whatever I think, I do.
This is what Aji wants to live like.
For some reason today, he was in a trance while reading the elegant text. He seemed to have entered the world of "Swordsman", and everyone and everything around him had nothing to do with him.
It wasn't until the old man at the tea stall pushed him that Aji woke up. Three hours had passed. Aji put away the newspaper and was about to leave. He had to go back because he had work to do on the boat in the evening. But at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then a stream of information poured into his mind, and Aji closed and opened his eyes.
"The magic of attracting stars!"
…
Almost at the same time, in Zhongjing City, which was tens of thousands of miles away, Chen Luo paused for a moment and then recovered.
"Damn it, who is so awesome? He didn't even finish writing the book before he figured out the "Star Absorbing Technique"!" Chen Luo sighed in his heart.
According to the explanation of the dream book spirit, if other people understand martial arts, Chen Luo can also understand it. This is not copying from the air. In fact, these martial arts were already engraved in Chen Luo's mind when he was writing. They just need others to understand them as a guide to unlock those martial arts.
It is equivalent to Chen Luo teaching others a martial arts and then losing his memory himself. As a result, that person succeeded and practiced it in front of him, and he remembered it again.
The roots are still with Chen Luo.
Therefore, even if others understand martial arts, it is only at the entry level and requires continuous practice and research, while Chen Luo is directly at the perfect level.
To put it simply, Chen Luo's martial arts understanding is full of proficiency in one click.
"What a pity..." Chen Luo sighed. It can be seen from Ji Zhong's comprehension of the Dugu Nine Swords. Even if he comprehends the martial arts in the book, if he does not complete the channel connection, the red dust energy cannot be used at all, and the martial arts will not be used. It can't be used, let alone gain proficiency.
"Perhaps we can pass on the information about Tongmai Realm?" Chen Luo hesitated in his heart. The reason why he did not teach Ji Zhong was because Ji Zhong himself was a Confucian genius and did not need to take this path.
But not teaching it publicly, on the one hand, Chen Luo does have a little bit of self-preservation, but more importantly, Chen Luo doesn't know how big an impact this will have if it spreads.
Although his master looks very powerful, his little arms and legs are really hurt if he touches them, and he will die if he touches them...
It's better to find an opportunity to discuss it with Master in person. I feel like the fourth senior brother can't cover this matter.
After thinking about these messy things, Chen Luo felt relieved and just had a plan.
Then the next step is to try the power of the "Star Absorbing Technique".
Chen Luo stood up and walked out of the main hall...
…
Lanling City.
Aji tried his best to use the "Star Absorbing Technique", but he felt as if his whole body was blocked by something and he couldn't use it at all.
"No, it's not like this, it can't be like this." Aji repeated in his mind.
"The story of Wan Anbo was written by Yawen. Yawen can inherit the power of heaven. The seven-color energy in my body and the 'star-absorbing method' in my mind all show that these can gain power."
"But why can't it be used?"
"Yes, Wan Anbo, Wan Anbo must know what to do?"
A thought suddenly came to Aji's mind: he was going to Zhongjing City to find Wan Anbo.
But soon he sighed again, Zhongjing City is tens of thousands of miles away from Lanling City. He has never left the gate of Lanling City since he was a child.
How to arrange food and accommodation along the way? What should you do if you encounter a mountain bandit and a roadhog?
Otherwise forget it?
As soon as this idea appeared in Aji's mind, Aji quickly shook his head and shook it away.
"What I understand is the 'Star Absorbing Technique' that I can do whatever I want. How can I be so timid!"
"Don't I want to live like I can do whatever I want?"
"Go ahead, even if you die on the road, you are dying for hope. It is better than dying of illness or old age! It is better than dying of regrets in the future!"
"I'm going to Zhongjing."
"From today on, I want to have a famous name."
"My name is Ren Ji! Follow your heart and everything will be fine!"
Ren Ji's eyes brightened instantly. He turned his back to Zui Xinghe and walked towards Lanling City Gate step by step, firmly...
…
At this time, Chen Luo didn't know that there was a young man tens of thousands of miles away because he made a life-or-death decision. He is mobilizing the mortal energy in his body to activate the "Star Absorbing Technique".
Chen Luo slowly walked towards Ji Zhong and put his hand on Ji Zhong's chest.
Facing Ji Zhong's puzzled expression, Chen Luo smiled slightly and said, "It feels a little weird, please bear with it."
After saying that, the Star Absorbing Technique suddenly started to work, and a suction force suddenly occurred in Chen Luo's body. Almost instantly, Ji Zhong's expression changed...
