At that time, Jiuyang was still an outer disciple of the Sacred Artifact Hall. Because of his hard work and diligence, he was highly regarded by his teachers. He often commented: "This boy is not very qualified, but his mind is firm. Just like a Buddhist disciple, he is hard-working and has good character." Pure kindness will surely lead to great things in the future!"
Jiuyang¡¯s master is the firearms saint who was famous in the ancient martial arts world. His real name is Fanyi.
Fan Yi was not only a well-known weapon refiner back then, but his weird temper was also unpredictable. The Sacred Artifact Hall was full of talents and geniuses, but he liked Jiu Yang, a somewhat silly guy.
Jiuyang is a child from a poor family. He has been dark and thin since he was a child, and he is no better than the children of the nobles. While other brothers and sisters were enjoying the popular food and drinking spicy food, Jiuyang was meditating and practicing.
While other brothers and sisters were traveling around the stars, he was practicing the art of controlling fire in the spire of the Sacristy Hall.
While other brothers and sisters were hanging out with beauties outside and trying their best to win her heart, Jiuyang was watching the moon and stars - just because the master said something: "Those who are not qualified enough, if they want to cultivate soul power , there is also a path, but it is very difficult. Watch the stars and the moon every night, and absorb the cold aura of heaven and earth into the body to practice soul power. The soul is inherently cold, and this cold aura is of great benefit to the cultivation of soul power. "
Ever since, Jiuyang spent the first ten years in the Sacred Artifact Hall in such a monotonous, tasteless and boring way. When cold spiritual energy enters the body, the impact on the meridians is very painful, just like throwing ice cubes into a stove, causing a violent reaction. Jiuyang endured this kind of suffering every day to cultivate his soul power.
Because he has no qualifications.
Because he has no money.
Although the brothers occasionally laughed at Jiuyang in private for his stupidity, Jiuyang was an upright person and willing to help others. Over time, the brothers became more polite to him. However, I still joke with him occasionally, saying that he is "a stone that cannot eat fireworks from the world."
The person who had the best relationship with Jiuyang back then was Danqing, who was one year younger than Jiuyang.
Danqing has a lively personality, and Jiuyang's words "stones that do not eat the fireworks of the world" are what he said. There is also the next sentence: "The food is the fairy that does not eat the fireworks of the world."
"Eating" generally refers to men and women who are in love with each other among disciples at that time.
The two sentences of Danqing obviously point out that Jiuyang is not close to women and seems to have no desire. Jiuyang was not angry when he heard this. He just kept practicing and practicing weapon refining and never had time to care about this.
That year, Fan Yi, the second elder of the Sacred Artifact Hall, was invited to the Yihu Clan to watch the Yihu Clan¡¯s Saint Selection Ceremony.
According to the usual practice, when an elder is invited, he usually brings at least one disciple with him.
Everyone thought that Fan Yi would bring a lively personality, eloquence, and great popularity. However, they did not expect that Fan Yi's unexpected temperament decided that he would choose Jiuyang!
And Jiuyang did not dare to disobey his master's order, and finally left the spire where he had been practicing for fourteen years for the first time.
When his thin figure appeared in the sunshine outside the spire, with his simple clothes, no one could tell that he was already an alchemist with the ability to refine holy weapons!
After practicing hard day and night for these years, Jiuyang's cultivation in weapon refining has long been far superior to that of his peers. All those geniuses are far behind him and can only be far behind.
His soul power is also young, and he has already reached the peak of Soul Master at the age of only twenty-three!
In those days, there was only one word to describe a person who could reach the peak of Soul Master at the age of twenty-three - genius!
However, only Jiuyang and Fanyi understand what kind of "genius" Jiuyang is
"Jiuyang, I'm going to the Yihu Clan. The other party has many etiquettes. Have you memorized all the etiquettes I asked you to memorize?" Fan Yi asked Jiuyang on the road.
Jiuyang nodded and replied: "Master, I will remember everything."
"Have you ever remembered to be proficient?"
"" Jiuyang paused, "Some of them are not familiar enough."
"Keep in mind, you must remember all the rules of the other party's clan, otherwise if you violate any of them, even I will not be able to keep you safe."
"Disciple, obey your orders."
"It's not to follow my orders - but for your own life." Fan Yi said with a smile, "If you violate other people's clan rules, you must know that they want your life, not mine. Remember. If you follow their clan rules, it¡¯s for yourself, do you understand?¡±
"Disciple understands." Jiuyang cupped his fists and saluted.
"Well, I also know that you understand." Fan Yi nodded, his eyes filled with relief: If this child didn't understand this truth, how could he endure loneliness and concentrate on practicing for fourteen years? That kind of loneliness and depression can only be endured by the strong in heaven and earth!Along the way, Jiuyang marveled at the colorful world outside. After all, he had never traveled with his brothers, never traveled to various planets, and had never seen so many customs and cultures.
When he arrived at the Yihu tribe, he felt deeply that the Yihu tribe paid attention to their clothing.
People of the Yihu tribe have three sets of clothes at home, one set for daily use only, one set for eating, and one set for after bathing. The etiquette of wearing various kinds of clothes outside is even more complicated. During festivals, there are also various kinds of dresses.
Jiuyang feels that the Yihu clan is really a serious race, and the various rules and regulations of the clan are enough to make people feel dizzy.
Fortunately, Jiuyang's hard work over the years has allowed him to develop a good memory. It took him more than a month to memorize all the rules of the Fox clan, and later he was able to recite them backwards and forwards.
He has been worried that this is the only time he goes out with his master. If he embarrasses his master because he violates other people's clan rules, he will be punished by death. So he memorized it very carefully, even memorizing all kinds of clan rules that he could never come into contact with.
For example, "Saint girls from the alien fox tribe are not allowed to have close contact with men before getting married", "Foreigners to marry a saint must have the strength of two saints" - for this kind of thing, he, Jiuyang, has always been called a "idiot". It is absolutely impossible to come into contact with the "Muyu" guy.
His strength first determines that he cannot violate this racial rule, because with his strength, he has not yet reached the point where he can come into contact with the fox saint. And even if he takes a step back, even if he can really get in touch with him, he has no thoughts about the opposite sex at all, and he will not make any objections.
When Jiuyang recited this paragraph, he still shrugged, feeling that this paragraph was dispensable so that he would not encounter these things.
As long as you are proficient in memorizing table manners, benefits in doing things, addressing benefits, and dressing etiquette, that's it.
"However, he did not dare to disobey his master's orders, so he still memorized all the fox clan etiquette.
Arrive at the Fox Clan.
"Star in the sky, Hall of Sacred Weapons, Second Elder, Saint of Fire Weapons, Saint of All Yi has arrived!" The strong warrior of the Fox clan read loudly at the entrance of the bird gate of the grand ceremony with a voice like a bell.
"Sage, please come this way." The charming and bright Fox tribe woman twisted her waist, dressed in a bright dress, bent down and bowed to welcome Fan Yi and Jiu Yang behind him.
Jiuyang was a little shy and hid half of his body behind Fan Yi.
Fan Yi was generous and walked in front with his head held high, and Jiu Yang had no choice but to follow suit.
"Hehe, boy, you have never been out of the tower in these years - how do you think this fox tribe woman is tempted?" After Fan Yi sat down, he noticed that Jiuyang was coquettish and joked.
"Return to Master, the Fox Clan Etiquette Chapter, Article 13, you must not verbally tease women of the Fox Clan, do not make flirtatious glances, and do not have evil thoughts. Master, have I passed the test?" Jiuyang's face was covered with sweat.
Fan Yi burst into laughter. How could he not understand what his disciple was thinking?
This kid Jiuyang must have thought that he was taking the opportunity to test his memorization! In fact, I really just wanted to ask him
"In fact, why should we be so cautious about those etiquette? The reason why he was asked to memorize it was because he was afraid that his slender head would accidentally bump into others. In fact, according to Jiuyang's temperament, it would be difficult for him to break the rules!
"You're not young anymore. When will my teacher propose a marriage to you - which family's daughter you have chosen, as long as the family is interested in you, you will openly tell my teacher and provide you with a betrothal gift. We have plenty! Anyone who came out of the Sacred Artifact Palace is willing to give away the holy artifacts!" Fan Yi patted Jiuyang's shoulder.
Jiuyang¡¯s eyes sparkled, and Fanyi laughed again when he saw it.
Jiuyang has been suffering since he was a child. He begged along the way to the spire of the Sacred Artifact Hall. He was lucky to be able to eat a bun every day, and he never dared to ask for anything extravagant.
Fan Yi has no children. He has a weird personality and has no women to associate with. He has long regarded Jiu Yang as his own son.
Although Jiuyang is a bit honest, he is neither stupid nor stupid. How could he not appreciate Fanyi's care for him? When I heard Fan Yi's words, a hot spring surged in my heart, and I felt that I was no longer a helpless and careless orphan.
Which night did you not dream about your father?
But what kind of person is his father?
Jiuyang grew up in a brothel, and his mother was also a woman from a brothel. He had never met his father.
But the strange thing is that although he grew up in a brothel, his temperament is not as romantic as those of the prostitutes. He hates such people very much. And he also stayed away from women.
I have dreamed about my father since I was a child. Maybe my father is a great hero. He should be the legendary two saints. With a wave of his hand, a city turns into dust!
A seed has been planted in Jiuyang's little heart: "I want to be a kind escort in this world. Maybe I am not a genius or a strong person, but I can work hard and I can do my best to spread kindness. .¡±
After wiping away his tears, Jiuyang stared at the Saintess Selection Ceremony with wide eyes.
This saint selection ceremony is not as gorgeous as it sounds. On the contrary, the ceremony is held in an environment similar to a colosseum. Fighting, desperate, and bloody scenes make Jiuyang's eyes bulge and he can't help but turn his head.
"Jiuyang, don't look away. Face it head on," Fan Yi's voice was calm and solemn, "You have to remember, this is life!"
