This book is several times thicker than the one just now, and the records are more detailed. Among them is the method of subsequent awakening of the ability. Lin Xiu is quite familiar with this ability. Two stone locks the size of a millstone, that is his practice method.

The advancement of the different power technique lies in the squeezing of one's own limit, which is similar to fitness, but the process is more difficult and the upper limit is even more immeasurable.

After Lin Xiu finished reading this book, she went to the bookshelf of the heavenly magic.

The book records here are even more detailed. There are detailed instructions for almost every awakening of abilities, but Lin Xiu was a little frightened by the process.

For example, those who have awakened the ability to control fire first have to endure exposure to the sun in the hot summer, then use their hands to detect the fire, bathe in the fire with their bodies, and even find active volcanoes in the late stage of practice, and find them in the magma practice...

Just seeing the description in words, Lin Xiu felt thirsty.

Another example is that a person who has awakened the ability to control lightning has to stand on the roof in a thunderstorm with an iron rod on his back, and lead the thunder into his body. This makes Lin Xiu's hair stand on end...

Lin Xiu quickly found the one he needed the most. Sure enough, the essence of advancing the heavenly magic is to torture himself. After awakening the ice magic, he has to find a breakthrough in the extremely cold environment. Nine cold winters, standing naked outside, letting the wind and snow blow, or lying on the ice, or living in an ice house...

Lin Xiu is not afraid of suffering or torture, but now it is the dog days, the hottest time of the year, where can he find ice noodles and ice houses?

You can't really wait until winter to start practicing, can you?

Lin Xiu closed the book and was worrying about this when she suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance.

The figure of Zhao Lingyin appeared in front of him, and said to Lin Xiu: "I saw Sun Dali at the gate of the imperial city, so I guessed that you came here."

Although Zhao Lingyin's expression was cold, her eyes were soft. Obviously, Lin Xiu, who was so diligent, made her very satisfied.

Lin Xiu said to Zhao Lingyin: "I have just awakened my strange art, and I don't know how to practice it yet, so I came here to read a book."

Zhao Lingyin said lightly: "I will help you with the matter of cultivation, follow me."

After finishing speaking, she gave Lin Xiu another back look, turned around and walked out of the Library Pavilion.

With a cold face and a warm heart, this is Lin Xiu's evaluation of her future sister-in-law. She is very good to him, but she still has to put on an unapproachable appearance, but Lin Xiu has to admit that she is really cool like this.

It's cute and cool.

Lin Xiu followed Zhao Lingyin out of Zangshu Pavilion, unexpectedly, she left the Academy of Different Arts, walked out of the imperial city, and walked straight to the Lin family.

Lin Xiu followed her back home, and followed her into her room with a puzzled expression.

At this time, Zhao Lingyin turned her head and said, "Close the door."

Lin Xiu closed the door casually.

Zhao Lingyin looked at him and said, "Take off your clothes."

Chapter 7

In the room with the doors and windows closed, Lin Xiu was only wearing a shirt, and there was a trace of cold air around her body.

The cold air radiated from Zhao Lingyin's body, causing the temperature in the room to drop sharply, making Lin Xiu feel very comfortable. At first he thought that Zhao Lingyin was plotting against him, but now he realized that she was creating an environment for her to practice.

The magic of ice, if you want to awaken for the second time, you have to put yourself in an extremely cold environment for a long time to stimulate your body's potential, but now is the hottest time of summer, Lin Xiu can't find it at all. Extremely cold environment.

Unless, there is a person who has awakened the same ability and artificially creates one for him.

The future sister-in-law really paid a lot for him.

Lin Xiu stopped thinking wildly and concentrated on feeling the changes in her body.

He also had no way to think about it anymore, because the temperature in the room had dropped extremely low at this time, so low that Lin Xiu couldn't bear it. He had to use all the power in his body to resist the severe cold outside.

During this process, Lin Xiu could feel that the power surging in his body was slowly growing.

Although this growth is very slow and almost insignificant, it is indeed improving.

People call this kind of power "Yuanli". Yuanli is the basis for performing different arts. Awakened again.

An hour later, two figures came out of the room.

Zhao Lingyin's face was a little pale, and she used her abilities for a long time, which consumed a lot of energy.

Lin Xiu's footsteps were sloppy, and the cold environment caused his physical strength to drain rapidly. Zhao Lingyin kept lowering the temperature, and Lin Xiu had been tossed by her without any strength at all.

But the benefits are also obvious. With her help, the vitality in Lin Xiu's body has increased significantly. He tried it just now, and he can already condense a thin layer of ice on his hands out of thin air, although this is Lin Xiu's body. The current limit of ability, but far from the limit of this ability.

According to historical records, if you practice the magic of ice to the extreme, you can freeze mountains, rivers and lakes, and freeze an entire city with a wave of your hand. It is rumored that there is a strong man in the Great Xia Army who has awakened this technique six times.

In the Da Luo Dynasty in the north, there is even a legend-level existence who has awakened this ability seven times and possesses the strength of heaven.

The climates of the Great Luo Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty are different. The winters in most areas are long and cold, and some extreme areas are even covered with ice and snow all year round. It is most suitable for people with the ability of Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin to practice.

According to the number of awakenings of different spells, people divide the strength of ability users into nine levels.

From the lower realm of the yellow rank, the upper realm of the yellow rank, the lower realm of the mysterious rank..., to the lower realm of the heavenly rank, the upper realm of the heavenly rank, and the supreme realm that only exists in legends, each corresponds to the first awakening of the different arts, and the second awakening. Awakening until the ninth awakening.

Zhao Lingyin has been awakened four times, and her strength has reached the upper level of the mysterious rank. This is already a genius among geniuses, and her elder sister, the proud girl of heaven, seems to have undergone five awakenings. At the age of less than 20, Awakening abilities five times --- Lin Xiu herself felt that she was not good enough for her.

Thinking of her fiancée, Lin Xiu felt a little curious, and asked, "Lingyin, what ability did your sister awaken?"

Regarding this matter, Zhao Lingyin didn't say much, and said lightly: "You will know in the future."

Lin Xiu wholeheartedly wanted to annul the engagement, but it was impossible to have one in the future. He was just curious about the fiancée he had never met.

Twenty years ago, both the Zhao family and the Lin family were wealthy and powerful people who were about to decline, but after the Zhao family gave birth to the girl and awakened their abilities, Zhao Lingyin's father, Lin Xiu's nominal father-in-law, changed from a third-class uncle to a first-class marquis in one fell swoop. , all this, just because he gave birth to a daughter.

How special is that Zhao family's first daughter to bring so much glory to the Zhao family?

Curiosity is curiosity, but Lin Xiu also knows that these things have nothing to do with him after all. When the engagement is terminated, the two will have nothing to do with each other.

In the courtyard, Sun Dali saw Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin coming out of the room, and both of them looked very tired, so their eyes widened involuntarily.

However, he then looked up at the sky, turned around as if nothing had happened, and ran away.

Sun Dali ran away in a flash, and Zhao Lingyin also left the Lin residence.

Lin Xiu walked to the corner of the yard, where Sun Dali usually honed his strength, and easily lifted a small stone lock.

It seemed that with the improvement of the energy in his body, his strength also increased slightly.

That is to say, there is essentially no difference in the origin force cultivated by different cultivation methods. As long as the origin force increases, all the different abilities can go hand in hand.

In this way, it means that he has an additional path of practice. Even without the help of the spirit voice, he doesn't have to wait until winter to practice. If Lin Xiu can obtain other strange arts, his path of practice will be wider and wider.

This is a road that no one has ever traveled, and it is also the only way for Lin Xiu to catch up with those geniuses.

At this moment, Lin Xiu's physical strength had been exhausted by Zhao Lingyin. He leaned on the stone bench in the yard and slowly recovered.

Not long after, Sun Dali slipped in from the outside. He looked around and asked, "Where is Second Miss?"

Lin Xiu said weakly: "Go home."

Sun Dali then ran up to Lin Xiu, pursed his lips, and asked in disbelief, "Master, do you want both sisters to accept you?"

"Bah!" Lin Xiu stood up from the stool and said, "A dog can't spit out ivory. Is your young master that kind of person?"

He and Lingyin stayed in the room for a long time just now, this dog must have misunderstood, Lin Xiu said: "Just now Lingyin was helping me practice."

Sun Dali showed a naive smile on his face, and squeezed his eyes at Lin Xiu: "I understand, I understand..."

Then he asked again: "Could it be that the young master you like is Second Miss?"

Lin Xiu did like Zhao Lingyin, but not in the way Sun Dali understood.

It's a bit sad to say, two lifetimes added up, there is no second person who treats Lin Xiu as well as she does, helping him enter the School of Different Arts, spending energy, delaying time to help him practice, just because of the marriage contract between her and her sister .

Who doesn't like such a girl?

What's more, she is so beautiful and has such a good figure...

Seeing that Lin Xiu didn't admit it, Sun Dali thought it was his acquiescence. He thought for a while, and made a suggestion from the side: "Actually, if you really like the second lady, young master, it's not impossible. When we first made the marriage contract, we didn't say anything about it." You must marry the eldest lady, anyway, they are all daughters of the Zhao family, it doesn't matter who you marry, it doesn't matter..."

"roll roll roll……"

Lin Xiu waved her hand and told Sun Dali to go away. He didn't even think about getting married, so no one would marry him. But then again, if it was really with Lingyin...

Thinking of that severe beating, he quickly expelled this terrible thought from his mind.

If he really married Lingyin, then he might only be the younger brother of the family in the future...

Lin Xiu continued to imagine such scenes, and actually felt a little happy. Although the family status was a little lower, he still had a family. The word "family" was already very unfamiliar to him.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xiu shook her head mockingly and planned to go back to her room to rest. At this moment, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard, and soon two figures hurried in from outside.

A beautiful woman who was running in front took Lin Xiu's hand as soon as she walked in, with a worried face on her face, she looked Lin Xiu up and down, and asked, "Xiu'er, where are you hurt? "

A middle-aged man who came out after her saw Lin Xiu standing in the yard, and the nervousness on his face disappeared a little.

Lin Xiu looked at the couple with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Are you..."

The middle-aged man's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words, while the woman looked at Lin Xiu with an unbelievable expression. At this moment, after hearing a "plop", Sun Dali suddenly knelt down in front of the two of them, and said with a guilty expression: " I'm sorry, master and madam, I didn't protect the young master well!"

……

A moment later, Uncle Ping'an's Mansion.

"You said, the young master was stunned by the meteorite and then lost his memory?"

"He has also awakened a different technique?"

"Heaven-level ice magic?"

After receiving the news not long ago, the middle-aged man and the glamorous woman who hurried back to the capital were shocked, and looked at Lin Xiu directly.

After only being away for a few days, so many changes have taken place at home.

First, his son was almost killed by the meteorite, and after waking up, he lost all his memories. Then he, who hadn’t shown any talent for strange magic for 18 years, unexpectedly awakened the magic of ice. Uncle Ping’an and his wife didn’t know whether to be happy or worried. .

In the end, the woman wiped her tears, held Lin Xiu's hand tightly and said, "It doesn't matter whether you have the awakening spell or not, as long as you are fine..."

Lin Xiu felt very embarrassed. Of course he knew at this moment that the couple in front of him were Uncle Ping'an and his wife who hurried back to the capital after learning about their son's accident.

They were the parents of another Lin Xiu, but not his parents.

Although Lin Xiu felt an inexplicable closeness to Uncle Ping'an and his wife, he couldn't call the two strangers his father and mother with peace of mind. He left the house in a hurry under the pretext that he still had something to do.

On the streets of Wangdu, Sun Dali followed Lin Xiu, curiously asked: "Master, you have never been to the Yamen a few times, why did you suddenly want to go there today?"

Lin Xiudao: "It's because I don't go often. This job is not easy. If I lose my job, what will I do in the future?"

Sun Dali nodded and agreed, "That's right..."

He sized up Lin Xiu with curious eyes, always feeling that after the young master lost his memory, he seemed to have become more sensible.

The identity of the Qing official secretary was obtained by the master after a lot of effort and at a great price.

After all, master and madam cannot protect the young master for the rest of his life.

Daxia's titles are only third-rank and ninth-rank, from the highest first-class duke to the lowest third-class uncle, the master's title is only the third-class Ping'an uncle, and after the master passes away, the young master's status is only a commoner.

In order for the young master to live a better life in the future, the master did not know how many relationships he entrusted and how much money he spent to help him arrange a clerical status in the Clean Officials Department.

The clerk of the Cleaning Department is only responsible for recording and sorting out the files, and there is no danger in the yamen all day long. It is a job that can be done for a lifetime.

However, the young master was lazy, he only went there for a few days at first, but he found the clerical job boring, and never went there again.

Fortunately, the head of the file warehouse has some friendship with the master, so he turned a blind eye to the young master's affairs, otherwise, he would have lost the job he had so hard to get.

Although Lin Xiu was at home these days, he was not idle. Using the excuse of amnesia, he asked Sun Dali for a lot of Lin Xiu's personal information bit by bit.

Including his interpersonal relationship, places he often goes to, some living habits, etc...

It was at that time that he learned that because the title of Uncle Ping'an could not be inherited, the family left Lin Xiu with a way out, that is, the clerk of the Cleaning Department. This position is not dangerous. It is enough to tidy up the dossiers. The Qing officials and clerks are fed by the state's salary. Even if the Lin family is completely ruined, he will not starve to death.

Uncle Ping'an and his wife put so much thought into his mediocre son, which made Lin Xiu a little envious. He had never owned these things before...

Chapter 8 A good man

The yamen of the Qingli Division is under the imperial city, and when Lin Xiu was about to reach the gate of the Qingli Division, she was stopped by the yamen servants at the door.

"Who is it, why are you here to clean up the officials?"

With his hands on his hips, Sun Dali said in a doggy manner: "Blind your dog eyes, you don't even know your adults?"

At this moment, another yamen servant hastily stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said: "He is new here, I have never met Mr. Lin, please don't blame Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, please..."

Although the rank of the official secretary is not high, it is just a junior official of the ninth rank, but an official is an official, and it is not something these petty officials can afford to offend.

Lin Xiu didn't bother with the yamen servant either, and made an appointment with Sun Dali to pick him up, and walked straight into the gate of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department.

After Lin Xiu walked in, the new yamen servant asked curiously: "Who is that person? I have been in the Cleaning Department for a month, why have I never seen him?"

Another yamen servant shook his head, and said in a low voice: "A related household who came in with money, but it's strange, he hardly came to the yamen before, why did he come today..."

Walking into the courtyard of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department, you will be facing the lobby of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department, which is also the place where the trial of cases is held.
