Chapter 2: Degraded to Slavery
In the Wubei Pavilion, Ye Xu looked up at the treasure house of the Ye family. It was his first time entering here.
The first thing that caught his eye was an oval bronze mirror more than ten feet high, with dragon and phoenix patterns carved around it, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere. Obviously, this bronze mirror was extremely old and was not an ordinary mirror.
Below the bronze mirror was a giant bronze toad, squatting on all fours, holding the bronze mirror in its mouth.
Ye Xu had heard other children in the clan talk about this strange bronze mirror. It was said that this bronze mirror was called Tongxin Shenjing, a magical witch treasure. People standing in front of it could see their souls and communicate with the way of heaven.
A white-haired old man sat in front of the Tongxin Shenjing, closing his eyes and concentrating. A dark airflow surged from his head, like a dark cloud three feet in diameter. A black flag shuttled back and forth in the black air, and the flag surface shook and fluttered.
The old man had white eyebrows and eagle eyes, and the breath he exuded was so oppressive that he could hardly breathe!
Ye Xu's heart moved: "This person is the sorcerer in charge of the Wubei Pavilion, Grey Eagle Ye Fan? I heard that he was a well-known figure among the magic sorcerers in Liuzhou, and his soul is a gray giant eagle. This person is cruel and ruthless, and has killed many people. Later, he was convinced by the mansion master and entered the Ye Mansion, responsible for training new sorcerers for the Ye family."
The old man Ye Fan noticed someone coming in, opened his eyes, opened his mouth and inhaled, and all the black air above his head was sucked into his stomach, then stretched out his skinny big hand, and gently waved it, and the black flag gently fell into his hand. The black flag grew in the wind, and in an instant it grew to more than one person tall, and the flag surface was black, which looked doubly gloomy and weird.
Ye Fan stood up with the black banner. Seeing that Ye Xu was not very old, he could not help but show a surprised look. He said sinisterly: "At such a young age, he has cultivated a congenital hegemonic body. He is also a talent. Boy, stand in front of the magic mirror, don't move, let the magic mirror reflect your soul."
Ye Xu bowed and walked to the giant bronze mirror. He looked into the mirror, but saw that the mirror was plain and dull, and it was a green haze. He could not see any image at all.
He was surprised in his heart, and suddenly the old man Ye Fan pulled out a bull-ear sharp knife and slashed it quickly from his palm, and blood gushed out immediately. Ye Xu was shocked and angry. Before he could react, he saw Ye Fan shaking the black banner and shouting. Suddenly, a ball of blood flew out from his palm and poured into the black banner.
The big banner was nourished by his blood, and black mist rolled. Suddenly, it turned into a foot-long skull, and a puff of black smoke sprayed onto the bronze mirror. Ye Fan shouted loudly, and the five fingers of his left hand jumped and changed. In an instant, he made hundreds of big handprints and shouted: "The soul is manifested, communicating with the heavens, open!"
Ye Xu realized that Ye Fan had no ill intentions. He just needed his blood as a primer to open the Tongxin Shenjing, so that the soul could be manifested to communicate with the heavens. He hurriedly looked at the bronze mirror.
The green gas on the Tongxin Shenjing gradually disappeared, the mirror surface gradually brightened, and the blurry image in the mirror gradually became clear.
Ye Fan's gloomy voice came from the side: "Boy, after the soul is manifested, you must immediately experience it with your heart and communicate with the heaven. If you can get the recognition of the Ten Earth Demon Dao in the Heaven Dao, the Heaven Dao will give you a jade tower. The jade tower contains everything, even the cultivation method and witchcraft of the sorcerer! Only by getting the jade tower can you be considered a sorcerer of the magic way!"
Ye Xu also knew something about sorcerers and understood the meaning of his words.
The necessary condition to become a sorcerer is to communicate with the heavens with the Yuanshen and obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao.
The so-called Heavenly Dao is actually the law of heaven and earth. Everything in the world is within the framework of the law of heaven and earth. From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to escape the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.
To communicate with the Heavenly Dao, to put it bluntly, is that the martial arts masters use the Yuanshen to communicate with the heavens and obtain a part of the inheritance of the laws of heaven and earth. This inheritance is the mind method and the witch method.
The mind method can improve the cultivation of the sorcerer, and the witch method is the attack method of the sorcerer.
The treasure bestowed by the Nine Heavens Law is called the tower, and the treasure bestowed by the Ten Earth Law is called the building.
The sorcerer who obtains the pagoda obtains the inheritance of the righteous way, while the sorcerer who obtains the jade building obtains the inheritance of the magic way.
The pagodas and jade buildings bestowed by the heavens are divided into nine grades, four levels and thirty-six grades. Taking the pagoda as an example, the more layers of the pagoda, the higher the grade, and the better the mind method provided.
Among them, the nine layers are the ninth grade, with a total of four colors: yellow, green, black and white. Gold is the best, followed by green, black is the second, and white is the lowest. The nine-story exquisite golden pagoda is of the highest grade, the supreme treasure. If you practice the core method of the pagoda and have great achievements, you can communicate with the gods.
The eight-story pagoda is of the eighth grade, and so on.
As for the one-story pagoda, it is of the first grade, the lowest grade, and the mental method it provides is the most inferior. The sorcerers call it the lowest grade. The one-story white jade pagoda and the white jade building are of the lowest grade.
Practicing the lowest grade mental method does not have any magic power, and is only one level higher than the martial arts in the world.
In a moment, the green gas on the surface of the Tongxin Shenjing completely dissipated, and Ye Fan nodded and said: "It finally appeared. Boy, look carefully, this is your Yuanshen!"
Ye Xu was shocked and looked hurriedly. He saw a timeless and handsome young man in blue clothes in the mirror. It was his own figure. Suddenly, the image in the mirror exploded, and the body instantly disintegrated, decomposing into billions of spiritual lights, covering the entire mirror surface, dots and dots, like billions of stars in the night sky.
These spiritual lights seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, gradually condensing together to form an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves and a crown that covered the sky!
This ancient tree has lived for tens of thousands of years. It is extremely old and vicissitudes. There are thousands of rays of light and auspicious air pouring down from the top of the ancient tree!
The sleeping soul finally awakened.
In the dark, Ye Xu seemed to feel that another self in his body finally woke up from his slumber. The joy in his heart was beyond words: "When the first generation of the Ye family's palace master awakened his soul, he said that seeing the mirror and seeing the heart will reveal my true nature. Today I know that I am me! I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence before, but now I finally understand it. It turns out that he said that only by using the Tongxin Shenjing to awaken the soul can you know what the true form of your soul is!"
Suddenly, he seemed to realize that as his soul awakened, there was an extra thing in his dantian.
Ye Xu hurriedly looked inside his dantian and saw that his dantian was full of Cangming Zhenqi, like a sea of clouds. In the center of the sea of clouds, a white jade building rose and fell in the sea of clouds, emitting millions of rays of light, illuminating the sea of clouds with golden light.
This white jade building has only one floor. It is made of unknown materials. It looks like gold but not gold, like jade but not jade. The four corners are pointed, and there are dragon heads swallowing jade beads on the corners. The tower body is covered with strange patterns, like rolling clouds and mist, and dragons and snakes are soaring.
Ye Xu was extremely surprised: "I haven't had time to communicate with the heavens and get the approval of the heavens. How could there be a jade building in my dantian? Could it be that this white jade building has always been in my body, but I didn't find it, and it only appeared when the soul awakened..."
Ye Fan was also shocked. He has been in charge of the Wubei Pavilion for decades, but this is the first time he has seen someone's soul is actually a strange tree!
"My soul is a gray giant eagle, and the soul of the mansion master Ye Sidao is the ancient alien monster Manggu Zhuha. The souls of other people in the mansion are also mostly monsters. Why is this kid's soul so weird? Now, it depends on whether this kid can inherit the Ten Earth Demon Dao and become a sorcerer... Well, this kid has finally been recognized by the Heavenly Dao!"
Ye Fan's eagle eyes showed a look of relief. He looked up and saw a ray of light falling from the sky and heading straight for Ye Xu. He could vaguely see a Seven-Star Cold Jade Tower in the ray of light. This was a sign that Ye Xu had been recognized by the Heavenly Dao and was given the Demon Dao Jade Tower.
The ray of light wrapped in the Seven-Star Cold Jade Tower had just fallen on Ye Xu's head. Ye Xu was shocked to find that the white jade tower in his dantian suddenly became restless, as if it was extremely angry about the arrival of the Seven-Star Tower. A terrifying force suddenly erupted from the jade tower.
The Seven-Star Cold Jade Building seemed to have been hit by an invisible heavy blow. It exploded with a bang, and the air wave swept across, almost completely destroying the Wubei Pavilion!
The Seven-Star Cold Jade Building was also destroyed in the explosion, and disappeared into thin air!
Ye Xu was at the center of the explosion. Although he was protected by the innate energy, this level of explosion was simply not something that an innate martial arts expert could resist. The young man was stunned without saying a word, and was still wondering in his heart: "What's going on..."
Ye Fan was also blown away by the air wave. Just as he landed on the ground, four figures suddenly flashed, and the owner of the mansion Ye Sidao and others appeared in the Wubei Pavilion. Seeing the mess in the Wubei Pavilion, even though Ye Sidao was very cunning, he still couldn't help but get really angry and lowered his voice and shouted: "Ye Fan, what's going on?"
Ye Fan looked confused and shook his head slowly: "I don't know, maybe someone doesn't want to see my Ye family prosper, so he secretly took action and smashed the jade tower given to this kid by the heaven. Unfortunately, the seven-story seven-star Qingguang Hanyu Tower was destroyed just like that..."
"Seven-story seven-star, Qingguang Hanyu Tower..."
Ye Sidao was shocked. The number of floors of the jade tower represents the qualifications and future achievements of the sorcerer. The more floors, the greater the future achievements.
He is the number one master of the magic way in Liuzhou City, but he only got the three-story Longdu Fanbian Qizhen Tower. Ye Xu actually got the seven-story seven-star Qingguang Hanyu Tower. His future is limitless. He is really a genius!
At this moment, the Jade Tower was inexplicably destroyed. Ye Sidao felt a pain in his heart and said to Ye Fan: "The Jade Tower is destroyed, so the young guard..."
Ye Fan checked it and sighed: "He is useless. His meridians are all broken. Even if the injury is healed, he will be like a useless person..."
"Is it possible to cure it?"
Ye Fan shook his head and said: "No. Unless there is a Tianxiang Life-Sustaining Pill, but this kind of elixir is hard to come by. When I was wandering around in the world, I heard that there was a Tianxiang Life-Sustaining Pill in the Liang Wang Mansion in Qingzhou, which was treasured by Liang Wang and regarded as his life."
Ye Sidao looked wooden and silent for a moment, and said: "The destruction of the Wubei Pavilion this time was caused by the young guard. Considering that he is a member of the royal family, this matter will not be pursued. I will punish him as a slave, and when he wakes up, let He went to the horse farm to raise horses. "
The grey-robed old man Ye Siran couldn't help but said, "Master, this punishment is probably too harsh?"
Ye Sidao shook his head: "It may not be a bad thing for him to fail this test. If he is unyielding and rebuilds his innateness, I will naturally cancel his status as a horse slave! If he is unable to recover, such a Ye family member is better off not having him!"
His eyes gradually became sharp, and he turned to the purple-robed middle-aged man and said, "Sizhe, you guys should find out who secretly attacked our Ye family this time! If you find out who did it, immediately wipe out his entire family! In Liuzhou, there are still people who dare to attack our Ye family. They really don't know how to live or die!"
After that, he left with a wave of his sleeves.
The other senior members of the Ye family looked at each other, sighed secretly, and left one after another.
The mysterious man smashed the seven-story Seven-Star Cold Jade Tower and destroyed the most outstanding genius of the Ye Mansion. The fury in the heart of the Mansion Master Ye Sidao can be imagined!
Ye Fan sighed secretly, and looked at Ye Xu with a trace of pity: "It is not easy to rebuild the innate? Moreover, the meridians are broken and the cultivation is wasted. Ye Xu, the young guard, is probably completely finished..."
