Five years ago, on the second day of the second month, it was still cold as winter.
On this day, Chen Shiyi got up early in the morning, intending to go out and see if the net he had set in the river two days ago had caught any fish that he could bring back for breakfast. However, he didn't see any fish, only the old man Yu who had been caught in the fishing net and had already frozen stiff.
Of course, there is also the little Ziyu tightly held in the arms of Old man Yu.
Carefully pulling Old man Yu and Ziyu out of the river, looking at Old man Yu's body full of sword wounds, originally Chen Shiyi was thinking it's better to mind one's own business, but just as Chen Shiyi turned to leave, the originally slightly purple from the cold Ziyu suddenly cried out "wah."
Chen Shiyi is also a person with a soft heart. He can't stand to see others cry, and when he suddenly hears the crying of a little girl, his heart softens. Seeing the little girl's face turning purple from the cold, his compassion is instantly ignited.
Gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, he hesitantly circles around the old and the young for a while. Finally, he grits his teeth, looks up to the sky, and shouts, "What bad luck...!" before taking the old and the young back home.
After Ji Ya successfully treated the grandfather and grandson, I originally planned to let them leave once they had recovered. However, after Old man Yu's health improved, he found an abandoned house near Chen Shiyi's home, cleaned it up, and decided to stay there.
At first, Chen Shiyi was feeling down after failing to awaken, but after saving Ziyu's grandfather and grandson and taking care of the seriously ill Ziyu and Old man Yu every day, their mood gradually improved.
After seeing Old man Yu recover from his injuries and settle near his own home, at first, I was worried about the obvious signs of a fight on Old man Yu's body and feared that his enemies might come looking for him, and I would be implicated. However, after more than half a year passed without any incidents, I felt relieved. In recent years, it's actually this old man and the child that have brought a lot of joy to Chen Shiyi, who originally led a lonely life.
Joy...! It comes at a price!
Originally, Chen Shiyi lived alone, relying on his outstanding strength to do odd jobs for the tribe. He managed to get by, but his economic burden increased significantly after he saved the grandfather and grandson of Ziyu. In less than half a year, the little savings he had accumulated were squandered by the two.
Looking at the increasingly empty rice jar at home, and Ziyu who came over every day to freeload, Chen Shiyi could only sigh again, "Such a hard life...!" There was no way around it; he had to support them even if he had to kneel.
From then on, people in the tribe saw a young man shuttling back and forth in the streets and alleys every day, running errands for others. Sometimes he appeared at the rice shop in the east, and then he would show up at the cloth shop in the west. In the morning, people would see the young man at the pharmacy in the south, and in the evening, they would see him dragging a large medicine box back from the mountains in the north.
In these years, it's more accurate to say that Chen Shiyi raised him rather than Old man Yu.
Whenever I think of this, Chen Shiyi will silently say to himself, "Endure, endure a little longer, raise her a bit more, find a rich and foolish man to marry this stinky girl, and make a good profit from her."
Regardless of the hardships and joys between Chen Shiyi and the old man and grandson, let's talk about the process of Ji Ya telling the whole story on the platform. Ji Lie and others looked at Chen Shiyi's expression with different thoughts in their hearts.
When was the last time the Nine Stars were aligned? Oh...! It seems like it was when Chen Shiyi performed the Soul Sacrifice a few years ago! But that kid was not competent, he failed to awaken successfully, so it doesn't count.
As for the time before that, when was it? It's probably a thousand years ago...!
According to the genealogy records of the clan, a thousand years ago, there appeared a stunning genius in the clan. At the age of six, his nine-star soul awakened and he obtained the "Domain Sealing Cauldron." At the age of fifteen, he broke through to the Star Realm and was invited to go to the Xuanwu Empire for further training. Six hundred years ago, he was appointed as the High Priest of the Xuanwu Empire. It is rumored that he has now reached the state of "Shuangling Realm" in the highest three realms of cultivation, and is considered a divine being.
Thinking of this, several people couldn't help but sigh: "The natural laws of heaven and earth are truly mysterious and unpredictable, so are human destinies, and even more so, soul destinies...!"
The factors that influence the awakening of the soul are complex and variable. Due to differences in individual personality, physical constitution, and the purity of the soul, the range, size, and attributes of the "Starry Realm" that one can sense during "soul sacrifice" will also vary. Therefore, the form, abilities, and strength of the awakened soul will also differ for each person.
In most people's understanding of the "six realms," a person generally has two opportunities for awakening between the ages of six and nine. It is rare to hear of someone awakening their soul at the age of twelve, and those who do are said to have limited achievements due to the relatively low purity of their soul force after awakening.
However, there are rumors that certain powerful ancient families and clans, which have stood for thousands of years, are able to delay the awakening of the soul force through some secret method. This is done in order to allow their disciples to repeatedly temper their bodies before the age of twelve, refining a powerful amount of soul force. At the age of twelve, they use secret techniques to communicate with certain specific attributes of star souls, awakening inherited souls with powerful specific attributes.
It is said that the royal bloodline of the Xuanwu Empire, which has been passed down for over ten thousand years, awakens their souls at the age of twelve, and most of their awakened "souls" are the empire's totemic beasts... powerful defensive and strength dual-system souls, "Xuanwu".
With Ziyu's Nine-Star Life Destiny Soul "Azure Dragon" leading the way, the members of the clan began to anticipate the subsequent soul sacrifice ceremony, hoping for even more powerful destiny souls to appear. They hoped that this would deter the Famfeng Tribe from harassing them again.
Whether it was divine favor or the stimulation from Ziyu's Azure Dragon destiny soul, as the evening soul sacrifice ceremony approached its end, four more children awakened their destiny souls, and their spiritual purity all reached five stars.
The sight of Ji Lie, Ji Ya, and others made them very excited and grateful for the protection of their ancestors. They felt it would be inappropriate to kowtow and thank their ancestors on the spot due to concerns about losing face, otherwise the OId man Shao would have really considered doing so. After the excitement, Ji Lie calmed down and felt a wave of worry.
At the same time, five people awakened their soul destiny, and they are all soul destinies of five stars or above. Among them, there is even a peerless soul destiny like the Azure Dragon, which has not appeared in the Xiahou tribe for nearly a thousand years. Even within the jurisdiction of Li Yang City, which extends for tens of thousands of kilometers, it is rare to hear of a situation where five people with soul destinies of five stars or above awaken in a year.
This is certainly a good thing for the Xiahou tribe, but it is happening at a time when the tribal power is weak, which may force some neighboring tribes with aspirations to the Xiahou tribe to act early, taking advantage of the fact that the younger generation in the tribe has not yet grown in strength, and strike first to eliminate the Xiahou tribe.
At that time, it would be like making a wedding dress for others in vain...!
But on second thought, having someone is better than having no one. No matter what, let's first cultivate them well. Other matters can be considered later. If it really goes as I expected and other tribes make a move first, then I can only fight to protect these children. They are all the future of the Xiahou tribe.
