The little tripod should be a totem vessel, which means that this girl has become the next generation totem guardian…

From the boy’s teaching to the girl, Bai Jue also learned most of this lost land. Because it was almost cut off from the magical plane, there were some differences between the “witchcraft” and “magic” here.

Compared to the basic, intermediate, and advanced magic levels in the magic plane, witchcraft has an additional apprentice level at the beginning, and the awakening of “witchcraft” here does not rely on the awakening stone or guiding stone, but on “inheritance”!
The classification of wizard levels is also very rough. The primary, intermediate and advanced levels are collectively called earth wizards, which are divided into nine levels, and the super level is called sky wizards, which are divided into three levels.

Ultimately, it is because the resources in this space are limited, and resources for advancement and awakening are extremely scarce, which has led to the current situation.

Among the six totems that were originally lost along with this space, three of them became “disasters” for unknown reasons!
Bai Jue sorted out the information and continued to read the “content”.

…………

The vermilion gate exudes ancient charm, the white jade steps are covered with heartbreaking fallen petals, the colorful glazed tiles reflect brilliant light, and the pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water are scattered in an orderly manner.

The courtyard is surrounded by white walls, green willows hanging around, three gatehouses with hanging flowers, and corridors on all four sides. The courtyard is connected by paths and dotted with rocks.

There are luxuriant trees and luxuriant exotic flowers, and a stream of clear water meanders from the depths of the trees and flowers to flow under the crevices of the rocks. The exotic grasses and fairy vines grow greener as the weather gets colder, and their vines hang down in a lovely manner.

The courtyard is decorated with inverted bell-like flowers. The calyx is white and has a translucent luster like bone china. The top of the petals is a circle of light purple of varying shades, which seems to be dyed or naturally formed.

“Concentrate and be serious…” The boy hit the girl on the head who was trying to escape by acting cute with the bamboo in his hand.

The neatly groomed girl had long light grey hair and a lovely face. No one would feel any dislike towards her when seeing her.

“Um… Master! I’m hungry!” The girl covered her head pitifully, tears in the corners of her eyes, feeling so aggrieved.

Ming Chen sighed, and some unknown emotion flashed in his bright blue eyes. Perhaps it was because he didn’t have the talent to lead disciples. In just over a year, he had turned a well-behaved, sensible and serious child into a greedy girl who only knew how to eat every day…

“It hasn’t even been an hour since we finished our meal, and you’re hungry again?”

“Master, there’s nothing I can do. I’m just hungry…” Yue Qiao observed her master’s expression with narrowed eyes. She was at the age of growing up, so what was wrong with eating more?
“…Yes, eat some dry food first. When you can remember the contents of the witchcraft on the scroll in your hand word for word, I will take you to Guiyu Tower for a big meal.”

“Okay!” Yue’s eyes lit up when she heard Gui Yulou’s words and she forced herself to cheer up. Although she was very tired, she could still hold on a little longer for the sake of the feast!
Ming Chen wanted to say something, but suddenly paused. Blood-red lines gradually spread from his heart to the surrounding area. He instantly fell stiffly to the ground, curled up into a ball.

“Just like before, stay away from me… but… not too far…”

“Master Mingchen!” Yue got up hurriedly after hearing the sound of someone falling to the ground. She was a little surprised to see the bloody lines gradually spreading on the boy’s face. She had seen this situation several times in the more than a year that she had studied with the master, but this was the first time that the lines spread across the face in an instant!
But after a pause, she still approached, ignored Mingchen’s words, took out the small tripod from her arms, bit her finger without hesitation, and let the blood drip on it…

The ancient and complex runes spread out a mysterious energy, slowing down the spread of the blood lines on Mingchen’s body.

The blood-colored lines are called barbarian lines. They are a kind of secret witchcraft that the totem vessel bestows on the totem guardian to strengthen the body. However, the side effects are somewhat obvious. As the strength becomes stronger, the emotions will also fluctuate significantly, and it is extremely easy to lose reason.

Mingchen used to be protected by the totem vessel and was not in serious condition, but now that the small tripod has been handed over to Yue, his condition has become increasingly serious, and all the hidden injuries he suffered in the past have also appeared…

This young man, who looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, is actually over seventy years old. Although he has a high level of cultivation, due to the influence of various factors, he will not live for many years, so he is so anxious to find a successor.

It’s okay if he dies, but the totem cannot be without a guardian, otherwise the totem vessel will become silent, the totem will get out of control, and it will set off a disaster that is enough to destroy all people!
“Ayue, it’s enough. You don’t have to continue wasting the spiritual power of the Bi’an Ding to help me suppress the barbarian patterns. If you want your master to suffer less, learn the witchcraft I teach you as soon as possible. When you grow up, I, your master, will be able to put down the burden.” Mingchen met the girl’s worried gaze, smiled helplessly, and gently rubbed her head.

“After I put down my burden, your master and I will find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to enjoy a pastoral life…”

Yue looked at Mingchen’s deathly pale hair and forced a smile. As always, she was no longer the little girl who knew nothing. She could feel that her master’s life flame was already shaky and almost exhausted.

He was so weak that he couldn’t even hide his physical condition. With the blessing of the Bi’an Ding, everything was exposed to the girl’s eyes.

All she could do now was to pretend that she knew nothing and fulfill her master’s final wish.

……

Dusk rolled up the long line of sorrow and stared at the earth with black pupils. There was still singing and dancing, but there was still a group of people, staring at the direction where another group of people were going away in the dim lights. The sound of flute and erhu floated faintly in the air, hoarse and melodious.

It seems like today is some kind of festival… Oh yes, it’s the annual festival.

The streets were busier than usual. Mingchen put down the stack of drawing paper in his hand, looked at Yue who was holding a teacup in a daze, and asked softly, “Do you want to go out and have some fun? It looks quite lively.”

The master took his disciple’s hand and walked into the crowd together.

Dongfeng night puts flowers and trees.It blows down and the stars are like rain.BMW engraved cars on the road.The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

Moer snow willow golden strands.The smile was filled with fragrance.People look for him thousands of Baidu.Suddenly looking back, the person was there, dimly lit.

This is a poem describing the Lantern Festival, but it is not an exaggeration to put it here.

Bai Jue’s consciousness followed Yue’s perspective, watching everything silently.

Yucheng is the second largest city after the Imperial City, so it is naturally bustling. In addition, today is the annual festival which is similar to the Spring Festival in the eyes of the citizens, which adds a bit of excitement.

The streets are brightly lit and fireworks are blooming in the sky. The strong smell of fireworks can soothe the waves in people’s hearts and make people completely immersed in this hard-won beauty.

Although there are still ferocious beasts attacking the city and various tragedies, everything is now developing in a good direction!

Suddenly, Mingchen stopped and looked towards the restaurant in the distance, which was a place called Guiyu Tower.

“Hey, old beggar over there, come here!” The waiter of the restaurant threw a package to him with a vicious and impatient look on his face, “Take these food and leave quickly. Don’t block the business.”

The old beggar looked at the servant with a strange look, smiled apologetically, said thank you, and limped away from the restaurant with the package. The servant looked at the old beggar’s back with a little pity in his eyes, shook his head and walked back to the restaurant.

He himself wasn’t living a very happy life, so being able to help him in this regard was already the limit…

“Waiter! Take your order!”

“Here I am, sir. The signature dish of our Guiyu Tower is…” The servant smiled respectfully and humbly.

“Master, what’s wrong with you?” Yue followed Mingchen’s gaze and saw the old beggar’s back, which looked familiar to her…

“I met an old friend. Come with me to meet him.”

The old beggar sat in the alley and slowly opened the package with his only remaining right hand. It felt heavy when he held it, weighing at least seven or eight kilograms.

Sesame seed cakes, steamed buns, rice, pickles, and a paper bag containing more than twenty copper coins.

“In this world, there are not many people who keep their original intentions…” The old beggar sighed and slowly ate the sesame seed bun with the pickles. After he finished a sesame seed bun, he scratched his messy hair with his greasy hands, then he was silent for a while, as if he had decided something.

“What happened to you? You’re in such a mess. Apart from the three disasters, there should be few things that can beat you like this, right?” Mingchen took Yue’s hand and came to the alley, with some inquiry in his eyes.

“I wasted decades at the second level. I was unwilling to stop there, so I went to a forbidden area. I broke through to the third level, but my body was crippled…” The old beggar didn’t seem surprised by their arrival. He just sighed, his eyes unclear under his disheveled hair.

“So that servant is the successor you chose?” Ming Chen asked.

“I have been secretly observing him for more than a year. Although he is not as good as the disciple you accepted, he should have the opportunity to reach my level in the future… There is no need to worry that Ya Zi will lose control.” The old beggar moved a few times and propped himself up with his crutches.

“I just don’t know if he is willing to inherit my legacy…”

……

“Axue, I’m back!” The servant rang the copper ring on the heavy wooden door. It was quiet all around. It was almost two o’clock in the morning and most people had already gone to bed to recharge their energy for tomorrow’s life.

“Click…” The door opened, and the girl stood behind the door with a gentle smile on her face. She took the clothes and hat from the servant’s hand and wiped the sweat from the servant’s forehead with a towel.

Although her skin was rough, her hands were covered with calluses, and her left cheek had marks of burns from the flames, in the servant’s eyes, she was the most beautiful person in his heart.

This small house is not big and the decoration is very simple. The only valuable thing may be the countless silver wind chimes hanging on the tree in the middle of the yard.

The house is the servant’s ancestral home. It is said that their family was once a powerful family and made their fortune here, but for some reason they declined. By his father’s generation, only two or three kittens were left.

The servant’s surname was Liu and his given name was Shang. Axue was brought home by his father when he was nine years old. According to him, she was the orphan of his good friend, whose name was Qingxue.

When Liu Shang was eleven years old, his father died mysteriously, leaving the two of them to depend on each other. It has been seven years now.

The girl was well-behaved and sensible, the boy was strong and resilient, and they had a stable home. Although things were a bit difficult, they still survived well. Although their life could not be said to be comfortable, it was not tight either.

“Axue, I have saved enough money, let’s go see the sea.” Liu Shang held the girl’s hand and looked at her seriously, his tone confirming the matter.

Liuxue seemed a little flustered, the gentle smile on her face disappeared, and she became a little anxious, pulling the boy’s hand up.

She is mute and cannot speak.

Looking at the girl pulling at the corner of her clothes and gesturing anxiously with his hands, Liu Shang couldn’t help but smile and gently hugged her.

The girl froze, and she didn’t finish what she wanted to write. Liu Shang’s words rang in her ears: “Going to see the sea is what we have always wanted, right? As for starting a family, having you is enough!”

The girl stared blankly at Liu Shang’s eyes, finding it hard to believe…

Gentle and cautious, sensitive but silent, this is the portrayal of Liuxue’s soul. She is actually a little inferior.

I am dumb, thin, weak, and ugly due to burns. Am I really qualified to accept him?
Liu Shang gently touched the girl’s cheek, not caring about the hideous scar, “If you don’t say anything, it means you agree.”

Obviously…I can’t speak!
But, but…as long as you don’t mind, I will always follow you!

……

“Hehe, we came at a really bad time. Now we’re provoked again…” The old beggar who was separated from the door by a wall took a bite of the food in the package, and seemed to be gnashing with hatred!
He is just an old widower, without a wife or family, and he can’t bear to see this scene!

At this time, the old beggar was stunned for a moment, because the sky suddenly brightened… The sun appeared at this second watch?
“Ancient books say: There is a mountain in the North Sea, called the Mountain of Youdu. Black water flows out of it, and on it there are black birds, black snakes, black leopards, black tigers, and black foxes with bushy tails.

The black bird is similar to a swallow and its body is pitch black. Some say it is a phoenix. There are many controversies about it. It is an ancient tribal totem that is good at driving away fire and is a symbol of good fortune.

Ming Chen, who was standing by, whispered the reason why the sun appeared at the second watch: “The black bird led the demons to attack the city.”

At this time of the year!
The barrier formation of Jue City was activated the moment daybreak. Countless lines intertwined and spread, condensing into the shadow of an ancient tree.

The branches of the ancient tree are crooked, and there are irregular bumps and uneven bumps on the trunk, which makes it look ancient and simple, like an immortal. The leaves on the branches are very large, spreading densely everywhere, protecting the entire city under its branches.

The cry sounded, red fire swept, the black bird soared in the sky, its cold eyes fixed on the ancient city, countless demons and ferocious beasts roared, and rushed towards it one after another without fear of death!
