Chapter 2 Pages in the Mind
The sudden sound scared Xia Zhanhong and his steps stopped immediately. Then, a heat current rose from his abdomen and rushed straight to the top of his head. In his sense that something moved in his mind, which seemed extremely abrupt.
"What happened?" Xia Zhanhong was shocked. He had never encountered such a strange situation before. He only knew that the heat current rising from his abdomen should be the medicinal power of Cao Huan Dan! He usually practiced his skills and was so effective when he took Cao Huan Dan to heal his wounds.
In just a moment, all the heat flow poured into his mind. Xia Zhanhong felt a vortex spinning in his mind, and his consciousness was forcibly pulled back.
The scenery in the distance gradually blurred, and the sight of him became less and less. He was pulled by the suction force and entered another empty space.
Looking at the broken paper floating in front of him and emitting a faint golden light, Xia Zhanhong felt that his mind was not enough. Before the impact of rebirth had dissipated, he found such a strange thing in his body. Even if he had experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes in his previous life, he could not suppress the surprise in his heart.
After a while, Xia Zhanhong slowly recovered and then remembered the last memory he had before waking up. He was almost certain that this broken page was the golden light flashing in front of his eyes when Tang Mingxuan raised his knife and slashed it down.
After calming down, he looked at the matter carefully and found that the paper surface was rough, with many broken edges, and three pinholes on the right, which looked like bound traces.
"It seems to be a page of a book," Xia Zhanhong said softly.
However, before his voice fell, a line of squares suddenly appeared at the top of the page, with eleven in total. Then, a crisp sound came from it: "The pages are activated...the energy is insufficient, and the reward technique cannot be displayed!"
Immediately afterwards, Xia Zhanhong saw some words appearing under the eleven squares, "Holder: Xia Zhanhong; cultivation level: initial level of martial arts; book page level: first level; scope of action: one mile in radius. Grass still lacks the power of elixirs, and the holder himself can light up the display function!"
"Reward exercises? Holder? Range of action? Display function..." Xia Zhanhong was puzzled, the text on the page had receded, and the light golden light began to converge, and soon gathered in the first square above the page.
While the first square was lit up by golden light, a line of text appeared below: "Display function: can display the name of any thing that is the same as the page level as the book page! Energy consumption: low!"
As soon as Xia Zhanhong finished reading, the words disappeared and the pages turned into broken and rough again. The difference is that there is a square with golden light shining above the pages.
At this time, the suction force that involved the mind disappeared, and Xia Zhanhong woke up suddenly, looked around, and found that he was still standing in the position he had just now, not moving at all.
Shaking his head slightly, Xia Zhanhong had a hint of excitement on his face: "That page... should be inside me? The empty space just now..."
Thinking of this, the rough and broken pages immediately appeared in my mind, revealing a little. Xia Zhanhong could fully feel that the pages were in my mind, extremely real, and were definitely not his imagination out of thin air.
"Display function! I don't know how to use it?" As soon as this thought changed, a line of words appeared again on the page of the book in my mind, "Concentrate your energy and focus on the target you want to display!"
"Is that simple?" Xia Zhanhong turned around, focused his eyes on the bronze mirror on the table, and focused on it. Immediately, the page of the book gave the answer, the phoenix-patterned bronze mirror.
"It can really be shown!" Xia Zhanhong was delighted and was about to try again. Suddenly, his feet became weak, as if his strength had been pulled away a lot, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"What's going on? Is this display ability...it takes energy to consume! That's right, the page of the book just mentioned that the display function consumes energy...it turns out that this function consumes my own strength." Xia Zhanhong stood up with both hands, stood up hard, and concentrated his energy. Sure enough, he found that the golden light in the square of the book page had dimmed a lot.
Walking back and sitting slowly on the chair, Xia Zhanhong closed his eyes slightly and said to himself: "It seems that this page cannot be used casually. With my current initial military military strength, it is probably not enough to use it three times..."
After scrutinizing the scene in his mind bit by bit, Xia Zhanhong said to himself: "If you want to use this display function, you don't have to consume energy. Since the elixir's medicinal power can activate the pages, it may also be used for this display function. However, Cao Huan Dan is just the most common healing pill. The medicinal power is limited, and even the reward for activating the pages cannot be given!"
After a moment of pause, Xia Zhanhong murmured, "I can go back a hundred years ago. Eighty times it is because of this page. This thing must be an ordinary thing. The technique it gives is absolutely extraordinary! I will ask my sister later to see how much money there is at home, and buy some advanced elixirs first to show this technique."
Xia Zhanhong was full of expectations for this technique. At that time, he practiced the mass martial arts in the martial arts hall for twenty years. The six levels of warriors: soldiers, school, general, commander, king, and emperor. Each level is divided into first, middle, high, perfect, and fourth levels! The mass martial arts only record how to thrust the strength. There is no method of opening the meridians and opening the acupoints at all. If he could practice to the level of martial arts, he would have reached the sky. Later, if he had not paid a great price and got a Tongtian Record, he would not have been able to enter the innate world for his life.
From this we can see how important a good martial art is to warriors in this world where warriors are respected. However, it is too difficult to get better martial arts. Every family regards their martial arts more than life, and even the children of the family have to choose people to teach them. Therefore, Xia Zhanhong was framed and stole the Zhang family's martial arts and was sentenced to death.
"Brother! Brother! Dad is back and I'm going to ask you to come over!"
Xia Zhanhong's thinking was interrupted by his sister's voice. He slowly opened his eyes and found that Xia Yubing was standing beside him. While pressing his hand on the back of the chair, he asked softly, "When did Dad come back? I didn't hear it!"
Xia Yubing reached out to hold his arm and whispered: "I just came back, and my face was very gloomy!"
Nodding with a smile, Xia Zhanhong raised his hand and rubbed his sister's head, and walked towards the door. Xia Yubing held his arm and followed.
"Yubing, how much money does the family still have?" Xia Zhanhong moved slowly and asked in a low voice.
Xia Yubing paused, and the sad face between her eyebrows became even more intense. She shook her head, sighed, and said nothing.
"There is no money at home?" Xia Zhanhong was a little confused. His father was the patrol captain in the city. Although the official salary was not high, he also received ten taels of gold per month. Moreover, since his sister was thirteen years old, she has been very careful in her budget and has always had a surplus.
Xia Yubing nodded silently, tears flowed down unconsciously, and said with a sob: "The Zhang family put you in jail and did not let us see you. My father exchanged all the savings in the family, a total of 1,000 taels of gold, and exchanged two blue crystals for the lieutenant, and then he would face the Zhang family... Later, they asked my father to hand over the seven-star purple flame gun, so that he would give you a chance to participate in the fight..."
"Dad asked them to cancel the fight, but they asked me to marry Zhang Wuqiang as a concubine, and even stepped on your head with my feet and said many insulting words. Dad couldn't help but rush up to protect you, but was injured by the man named Wang Tianling. Later, if it weren't for the lieutenant's words, they wouldn't let you take you home, wuwu..."
At this point, Xia Yubing was already crying and could no longer say anything!
Xia Zhanhong's eyes shrank slightly, his expression darkened, and his face covered with dark clouds was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip into it.
In his previous life, when he woke up, he was already at home. He only knew that his father was beaten and injured in order to save himself from prison, but his father never said the specific situation. In addition, his sister quietly left at that time, so he did not mention this matter again. Now that he heard his sister's words, he knew the real reason why his father sold the house.
After a while, Xia Zhanhong controlled his emotions, patted his sister's shoulder gently, and said quietly: "Don't worry, money is easy to deal with... Let's go, don't let dad wait for a long time!
In the main room, Xia Zhanhong saw his father again and saw his strong and firm face again. Thinking back to his father's head full of white hair and hunched body, he felt a soreness in his heart.
Xia Chengzong, sitting upright on the chair, had a straight waist, and could not see any serious injury at all, but his face was a little pale. But Xia Zhanhong knew that his father was extremely injured and ordinary healing pills could not play any role at all.
"Dad, you are back!" When Xia Zhanhong came to Xia Chengzong, he stood with his head down, but the scene of his father and younger brother guarding the door, stabbing several times, and making him jump out of the window and escape at the top of his lungs.
"Yeah!" Xia Chengzong nodded and said with a calm face: "Zhan Hong, do you know that you are going to participate in the fight?"
Seeing Xia Zhanhong nodding silently, Xia Chengzong continued: "Your opponent has been decided. It is a robber named Wei San. It is said that his cultivation is close to the advanced level of martial arts..."
"Ah!" Although I had known that the Zhang family would not stop, Xia Yubing couldn't help but exclaim when she heard her father say the news.
Xia Chengzong looked at his daughter with a side look, and a hint of doting flashed. Then he turned around and said to Xia Zhanhong with a serious face: "You have been recuperating at home these two days. Three days later, on duty for your father. You take Yubing away from Pingshan City and fly away. Never come back... Remember, take good care of your sister outside!"
After the words came to an end, Xia Chengzong sighed heavily, closed his eyes, and his face was filled with guilt.
Xia Yubing covered her little mouth and looked at her father, tears kept falling like broken pearls.
Shaking his head slightly, Xia Zhanhong said lightly: "Dad! I will feel at ease when I leave you and my brother here for the rest of my life!"
Xia Chengzong suddenly opened his eyes, his pale face turned red, and he slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "What do you want? Should you send your sister to the Zhang family as a concubine, or die in the arena, so that the Xia family will be extinct from now on?" As he said that, his body shook, he sat back again, coughing repeatedly.
Xia Zhanhong hurried forward, holding his father's arm with one hand, patting his back with the other hand, and quickly said, "Dad! We can't leave. The Zhang family has now set their minds on my sister and will definitely stare at us secretly. If my sister rashly leaves the city, maybe she is taking advantage of their wishes!"
Xia Chengzong's cough gradually stopped, but his face turned pale. He gasped for a while and murmured: "I handed over the family spear to give you this opportunity to escape. But now..."
Xia Zhanhong gently patted his father's back and said quietly: "Dad, it's not difficult to solve the problem. As long as I can be promoted to the middle level of the martial arts army, I will be sure to win in the fight!"
Xia Chengzong looked at his son deeply, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Zhan Hong, you don't need to comfort your father. Our family has no skills and no pills. It's like a fool to break through within one month!"
Xia Zhanhong paused the movements in his hand and said seriously: "Dad, I didn't joke, there is really a way!"
In his memory, a big event would happen in Pingshan City in only ten days at most. This incident was the opportunity for their Xia family to get out of trouble.
