This girl was only about twelve or thirteen years old, with a pretty face that looked a little childish, but her figure showed some maturity. Lin Hong's eyes suddenly flashed with passion, and several teenagers stared at her blankly, as if they were being caught. The law of immobilization is there.
But more fear flashed in Lin Hong's eyes, and he stopped in a hurry. Regardless of status or level of warrior, this girl was not something he could afford to offend.
Li Tong, the only daughter of the Li family, the largest force in Mingyang Town, is also the most dazzling star in Mingyang Town. She is already a high-level warrior at the age of twelve. It is said that Yun Yuan, one of the four major forces in Donghua Kingdom, the empire where Mingyang Town is located, The court has taken a fancy to her qualifications and will recruit her as a disciple soon.
Lin Hong whispered to Shen Rui: "You are lucky today. You have a girl to protect you. If you fall into my hands again another day, I will teach you a lesson and make you look good."
"Oh, it turns out it's sister Li Tong. Brother Shen Rui and I are joking around." Lin Hong smiled and stood up and said to Li Tong as if nothing happened. Suddenly he felt a dull pain in his palms, but he was secretly surprised in his heart. For some reason, he always felt like this Shen Rui's body is much harder than ordinary people.
"What a tough guy." He cursed secretly, turned to his partners and said, "Today's practice is over, let's go back."
After saying that, he looked at Li Tong reluctantly and walked away with a few people.
"Are you okay?" Li Tong pulled Shen Rui up and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Shen Rui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said coldly.
He remembered what Lin Hong said about asking women to protect him, and couldn't help but feel ashamed. He didn't want to show any more of his ugly behavior in front of Li Tong, so he ran towards the mountain without looking back.
"Alas," looking at the young man's retreating figure, the girl sighed faintly, "Brother Rui, can't we go back to the past?"
When Shen Rui was a child, his adoptive father Uncle Kun often took Shen Rui to deliver prey caught from the mountains to the Li family. Li Tong and Shen Rui were similar in age and often played together for half a day. But since Li Tong was considered the number one martial arts practitioner in the town, After the genius Shen Rui was deemed a useless practitioner by Instructor Su and sentenced to death, Shen Rui lost the innocent smile of the past on his face, and he almost stopped talking to Li Tong, and never even went to Li Tong's house.
Thinking of the days when she and Shen Rui were close together when she was a child, Li Tong was worried. She knew it was useless to catch up, so she had to turn back and leave sadly.
Black Peak Mountain is a towering mountain. Shen Rui has grown up on this mountain since he was a child, so he is naturally very familiar with this place. He ran up the mountain as hard as he could, and after a while he reached the top of the mountain panting.
"God, why did you let me be born in this world where martial arts is respected, but you didn't let me practice martial arts-" Shen Rui raised his head and roared, as if he wanted to shout out all the resentment he had accumulated for many years.
The roar startled a flock of birds in the distant forest. In front of him was a cliff of ten thousand feet. Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered over the years because of his inability to practice martial arts, Shen Rui really wanted to jump off from here and end his life.
He came to his senses and secretly laughed at his ridiculous idea. What would Uncle Kun do if he died? And he didn't know who his parents were, so how could he die so easily? Besides, the world is unpredictable, and maybe he could become one one day. Maybe a warrior respected by everyone.
Thinking of this, he turned around and came to the open space by the cliff, and started practicing his boxing skills.
"It's useless for you to practice like this. Your meridians are blocked, and you will never be able to develop martial arts." A high-pitched voice sounded behind Shen Rui's head.
Shen Rui was shocked. He had no idea when someone appeared next to him. It seemed that this person must be a master of martial arts. When he looked back, he saw a masked woman covered in black gauze not far away. Looking at him coldly.
Although the face of the masked woman cannot be seen clearly, the cold eyes of the masked woman can make people feel cold from head to toe.
"Who are you?" Shen Rui asked warily.
"Don't worry about who I am, don't worry, I'm here to help you." The woman in black chuckled.
Somehow, Shen Rui always felt that the person in front of him seemed to have some evil intentions, so he said calmly: "I don't need your help."
"Oh, you stubborn kid, I kindly came to help you practice martial arts, but you don't appreciate it. Oh, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." The woman in black turned around and left.
As soon as Shen Rui heard the words "cultivate martial qi", he seemed to be cast by magic. He turned around hurriedly and said eagerly: "Can you really help me open up my meridians and cultivate martial qi?"
The woman in black did not answer Shen Rui's question, but asked: "What is your name?"
Shen Rui originally didn't want to say his name, but thinking that the person in front of him might change his destiny, he answered truthfully: "My name is Shen Rui."
The woman in black trembled all over, then smiled and said: "Actually, it's not that your meridians are blocked, but someone has sealed your main meridians with a curse seal."
"What?" Shen Rui clenched his fists, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, "Who is so vicious?"
The woman in black said: "You will know who is so cruel in the future. I can't tell you now."
Shen Rui was shocked and begged: "Do you know my life experience? Tell me who I am?"
The woman in black said: "It's not yet time. You will naturally know who you are when the time comes. I can't tell you yet."
No matter how much Shen Rui begged, the woman in black refused to tell him her life experience, so Shen Rui had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
"Then tell me how to break this damn curse seal?"
The woman in black shook her head: "Only the person who placed this curse seal on you can undo it. I have no choice."
"...After talking for a long time, it turned out that you were playing tricks on me." Shen Rui said angrily.
The woman in black said: "I don't have the leisure to play tricks on you. In addition to the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, there are countless meridians that are much more undeveloped than the main meridians in the human body. It's what people call hidden veins. Only your main veins are blocked. As long as you open up all the other hidden veins, you will not only be able to cultivate martial energy, but the effect will be much better than others who use the main veins to practice."
Shen Rui was overjoyed and said anxiously: "Then teach me the trick to open the hidden veins."
The woman in black said: "I have a kind of golden needle that can open up the hidden veins of the human body, but..."
She stopped suddenly, and Shen Rui asked hurriedly: "But what?"
The woman in black sighed: "Although this method is theoretically feasible, from the time it appeared until now, no one except the first palace owner of Xiaoyao Palace has been able to really get through it, so this method is used to get through the hidden..." Taking a pulse can be said to be a narrow escape, but you have to decide whether to try it or not?"
Shen Rui said without hesitation: "I do."
A look of pride flashed in the eyes of the woman in black, and she said in her heart: "Good sister, I have never thought of harming your son. He is seeking death himself. Don't blame me."
She said to Shen Rui: "Is there a secluded and safe place around here? I must give you acupuncture in an absolutely safe place."
Shen Rui was very familiar with this place. He pointed to the south and said, "There is a cave not far away there. Few people know about it. I will take you there."
He knew that if the other party wanted to kill him, it would be a simple matter, so he was not worried about his safety. The two of them walked in tandem and soon arrived at a hidden cave.
The cave was wide, dry and full of light. The woman in black said happily: "This is a really good place. Turn around and sit on the ground, take off your top, and I will give you acupuncture immediately."
Shen Rui turned around and sat down as instructed, taking off his shirt, revealing his thin but extremely strong upper body.
The woman in black sat behind him and said: "This process is extremely painful, you have to endure it."
Shen Rui's chest puffed up: "Don't worry, if I scream, I won't be a good man."
After hearing these words, the woman in black was shocked, and the figure of the man she had been longing for seemed to appear in front of her eyes. She came back to her senses, but the young man in front of her was his and someone else's child.
"You bastard, I will use you to practice the Golden Needle technique today." The woman in black thought to herself, a sinister smile flashed across her face, but she was covered with a veil, and Shen Rui couldn't see the change in her expression at all.
