On a cold night, heavy snowflakes were flying, and the biting cold wind did not extinguish the joy of the residents of Zizhu Town. Everyone poured into the streets one after another, and the whole town looked like a lively and festive scene.
Today is the day when the second child of the only big shot in the town, Master "Jialing Taishi", is born. Master Taishi arranged a grand celebration in the center of the town, and all the residents were invited to participate. It is said that not only
The pure and aged wines are available for drinking, and you can also taste a lot of delicacies cooked with spirit animal meat, which really makes many residents of the town who have never tasted the taste of spirit animals in their lives very excited.
Zizhu Town was originally an inconspicuous town in the Dongchen Empire. It was located in a small city thousands of miles away from Yanjing Chenxing. If Taishi Jia Ling hadn't suddenly announced his abdication and Emperor Dongchen had given the entire Zizhu Town to Jia Ling,
If the Grand Master were to be his residence, the people here would probably never see such a high-ranking figure in their lifetime.
When they first received the news, the residents in the town were sweating with fear. They were worried that the Grand Master would drive away the residents and then build a large mansion. Unexpectedly, Lord Jialing, who is the Grand Master, would keep such a low profile.
, which only occupies a small, centuries-old castle in the town, and moved in after a slight renovation.
People only caught a glimpse of Master Taishi from a distance during the welcome ceremony held by the mayor. Under his gorgeous gold-rimmed black robe, there was a calm middle-aged man in his forties.
During the initial period when the Grand Master arrived, the residents of the town were talking privately. They felt that the Grand Master had come to settle down in such a remote place and kept such a low profile. He was afraid that he might have offended the higher-ups in Yanjing and was demoted to this place by the emperor.
Bar?
Later, new rumors emerged. Some people claimed to have learned the secret after returning from Yanjing. Grand Master Jia Ling was a powerful person at the level of spiritual refining. Even the emperor respected him, and he came to settle here.
In order to avoid the prosperity and break through to the realm of pseudo-sage. As soon as this rumor came out, the town was in an uproar.
This world is composed of four continents, southeast, northwest, collectively called the Holy Spirit Continent. There are hundreds of large and small countries on the continent, and Dongchen Kingdom is only a medium-sized country located on the Eastern Continent. Its strength is also unparalleled on the Eastern Continent.
It can only be ranked in the tenth place. People in this holy world all admire holy power. The so-called holy power is the natural power that people obtain through their understanding of the heaven and earth during practice. It is also called magic power, spiritual power or spiritual energy.
A person's own abilities are limited, but if he can acquire the power of nature and use his hands to activate the spirits of heaven and earth, he can acquire unimaginable abilities. Talented people who can activate this power of nature are also collectively referred to as monks by ordinary people.
, monks are the masters of this world, even a monk who has just acquired holy power can run rampant among ordinary people.
Of course, not all people can master this power of nature. Only a very small number of talented people, who start special training at a very young age, can reach the ranks of monks in one step.
Generally speaking, monks are divided into nine realms according to the strength of their abilities: Qi refining, spiritual enlightenment, spiritual building, spiritual gathering, spiritual refining, false saint, immortal, holy realm, and divine realm. Not only monks, but also the spirits of this world
Beasts are also differentiated according to this level.
Qi refining is a compulsory course for all children in this world. Only by comprehending and accumulating the natural power of heaven and earth can one succeed in spiritual enlightenment, step into the ranks of monks, and ascend to heaven in one step.
The subsequent levels are divided according to how much holy power can be used, and the crossing of each level is a process of qualitative change. It is said that the masters of the spirit-building level can fight one against a hundred against a regular army of ordinary people;
When you reach the gathering level, you can easily defeat a thousand enemies. It is conceivable that the abilities of higher-level monks will be so terrifying. Therefore, each country on the continent has its own army of monks.
The strength of the country is also a symbol of the strength of the entire country.
There are only a handful of higher spiritual refining monks on the mainland, and there are even fewer higher realms of false saints and immortals. It is said that as long as one reaches the realm of false saints, one can fly through the air;
The strong man can even stand in the air, and can be regarded as half a god.
As for the powerful men in the holy realm and the divine realm, they are basically just gods who exist in legends, so let’s not mention them.
Of course, the rumors were just rumors, and people's interest in discussing them was only concentrated in the first few months. As the Grand Master retired to seclusion, these rumors were gradually forgotten by people.
In the Grand Master's Mansion, the servants who had just returned from the celebration were all very happy! After all, the Grand Master was happy to have a son, and when he was happy, it was his servants who were the first to be rewarded.
This ancient castle, which had just been renovated into the residence of the Grand Master, seemed to have changed from the gloominess of the past year, and was decorated with various colorful cloths and flowers to give it a warmer atmosphere.
"Jiaming, you will have a younger brother in the future. Let's name your younger brother Jiajun. You are seven years old now and are a little man. When you become an older brother, you must help your mother take good care of your younger brother!" Mrs. Taishi was still lying quietly on the bed.
Recuperate. At this time, she was stroking the little head of her eldest son Jiaming and said with a look of relief.
"Of course! From now on, my brother will be left to me!" Jiaming looked excited.
Jia Ming is the eldest son of Grand Master Jia Ling. He is seven years old this year. He has a handsome face with short black hair, and the bright black eyes inherited from Grand Master Jialing's family, making this child look cute and handsome.
For this seven-year-old boy, having one more brother is equivalent to having one more playmate. Of course he is very happy. He thinks that he will not be so lonely in the future, wandering alone in this eerie castle.
!
I really don’t know why my father couldn’t live in Yanjing, and came to this remote and lifeless place, with no friends left! My father still soaked in the basement every day, and basically no one was seen. My mother has been pregnant for more than half a year.
I was careful at every step, and I never took myself to any fun places!
Not only that, the Grand Master and his wife also issued an order to the servants, asking them to keep a close eye on their naughty son and forbidding him to run out of the castle to play, which really frustrated the little guy!
Now that his younger brother is born, he finally has something to play with! All Jiaming thinks about is how to play with his younger brother in the future, not considering that this younger brother is only one day old.
It’s no wonder that Jiaming is a typical naughty boy. Although he was born into a noble family, he is not as arrogant as an aristocratic young master. He has been getting along with the common people around him since he was a child. This handsome boy is also very lovable, from birth to
Before leaving Yanjing at the age of six, he lived a carefree and happy life.
The year after he came here was almost like going to jail. Especially when his father chose this castle as his residence. At that time, even the old housekeeper who had been with his father for many years objected, but the Taishi and his wife insisted on it.
After choosing this place, everyone had no choice but to settle down honestly. For this reason, the little guy was so angry that he refused to eat and made trouble for several days, frightening a bunch of servants.
"I hope my brother will grow up soon so that we can have fun!" At night, Jiaming returned to his room and fell asleep beautifully with this thought in his mind. The grand master and his wife also rested with their youngest son.
The entire mansion returned to its former peace, and the centuries-old castle seemed to have fallen asleep after a rare day of hard work.
No one noticed that in the silent courtyard of the castle, in a basement directly below the center of the courtyard, an ancient secret pattern carved on the ground was flashing sporadic fluorescent light, each one a faint blue.
The runes slowly rose on the pattern, and dots of fireflies jumped lonely. Slowly, these subtle rays of light passed through the ceiling wall of the basement and the thick snow, turning into dots of starlight as they rose, blending into the floating sky.
The flying crystal snow petals seemed to be celebrating something.
