step by step

"Recently, there have been many outsiders in the clan." The young man frowned slightly, and looked up at the peak above.

"Master, don't worry too much, maybe it's because you didn't notice it before?" The child's lazy voice rang in my ears.

The young man rubbed his brows and said with a headache, "You're still so optimistic. I don't know what the hell is that old guy doing?" After all, Jiang is still old and hot, decades of years will never live on a dog .That old guy hid his emotions too well, sometimes, even he couldn't guess what that person was thinking.

The child giggled and said, "One force breaks ten skills, that old guy is only at the second stage of nothingness, and he is not the master's general. No matter what the hell that old man is going to do, will the master care?"

The young man slowly loosened his frown, "That's right. In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy will have no effect."

"Master, those old men are bullying too much, should we still take care of that matter?"

"Forget it, don't meddle in your own business." The young man said casually, "Let it take its course."

"Ok."

in the cell.

"Why, don't you want to?"

Seeing that Kong Zhu was silent, Shi Sang straightened up, rubbed his chin in distress, and slapped his forehead suddenly as if thinking of something: "By the way, I almost forgot."

Kong Zhu leaned on his chin, watching her childish every move.On Shi Sang's forehead, a strange symbol was drawn with some kind of paint. The symbol was so huge that it took up most of the space on his forehead.Some edges and corners extend to the corners of the eyes.The symbol looked a little weird, the dark red light flowed, as if the handwriting was alive, it should have been a bit permeable, but it fell on her body, but it did not damage her handsome face at all.

It's just such a short time, maybe not even a moment, but the two seem to be old friends who have known each other for a long time.There is an unspeakable tacit understanding flowing between the two, constantly narrowing the distance between them.Kong Zhu always had a strange illusion, as if it was preordained in the dark, that the relationship between them should have been like this.

Shi Sang generously took off his outer robe and spread it on the ground.When he got close, he sat down in front of Kong Zhu and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you a story."

"Okay." Kong Zhunan felt curious.

Probably because, with her mind-reading skills, she couldn't see through the thoughts of the person in front of her at all.In Mind Reading, there are strict regulations on the style and color of clothes of all tribesmen, without exception.So just from her clothes, Kongzhu can be sure that she is not a member of the mind-reading clan.But their clan's mind-reading skills, obviously, no one can resist except the direct descendants of the clan.

But even so, intuitively, Kong Zhu still has a special desire to get close to Shi Sang, a stranger.Inexplicably, she believed that Shi Sang would not harm her.

"It's a long story, where do I start?"

"A story about what?" Kong Zhu asked.

"Hmm... It's related to a great war a thousand years ago. At that time, your family was also involved."

"Then you can start from the beginning," Kong Zhu said meaninglessly, "I have never understood the mind-reading."

She didn't care at all, and she didn't want to deliberately care about it.As a direct descendant of a clan, he is not even qualified to know about the splendor and glory his clan has experienced.Being squeezed out by the clansmen to such an extent, isn't this the sorrow of Kongzhu?

The smile on Shi Sang's face gradually faded.Through this fence, she stared at the woman sitting cross-legged in front of her, and her heart was full of emotions.The slightly immature face is exquisite and picturesque, the corners of the slightly curved lips seem to be smiling but not smiling, the light gray pupils are indifferent and sharp, and the expression is casual, as if everything in the world of mortals is just passing by.This is the face she has depicted countless times in her dreams.She didn't even think that her intuition was so accurate.

This is a free woman, no one can keep her.At this moment, she realized so clearly that she was just a child in front of her.A 16 year old kid.A child who was burdened with so much sin and hatred, almost overwhelmed by his own thoughts.

She wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.

"I don't need pity." Kong Zhu said calmly.After so many years of experience, she is extremely sensitive to people's speculations, so she can naturally see Shisang's hesitation at this time.But she didn't care, those injuries were always outside the body, no amount of pain could go deep into the bone marrow.She tilted her head slightly, her eyes were still looking at her, and the bright eyeballs reflected the fine light.She said, "Aren't you going to tell me a story?"

Shi Sang smiled slightly, quickly cleared up his emotions, and his face gradually became serious.With that unhurried voice, a great catastrophe a thousand years ago gradually kicked off:

"There are three branches in the lineage of the prophets of the ancient survivors. They are astrology, divination, and mind reading. The three branches belong to the same lineage, eat and live together, and are like brothers. However, an accident happened a thousand years ago, which led to the three branches The branch is completely broken.

At that time, it was in the heyday of this continent, the Seven Kingdoms stood together, the troubled times were full of disputes, and wars were everywhere. The national strengths of the Seven Kingdoms were almost the same, so they could only restrain each other.But the royal families of various countries are ambitious, and none of the emperors is reconciled.It seems that there is only one step away from that supreme position.As long as you take this step, everything you dream of will be at your fingertips.

Relying on one's own strength alone is too far away from unification.So while developing their own national strength, they gradually set their sights on seeking powerful foreign aid.

The lineage of prophets has lived in seclusion in the extremely cold place since ancient times. The three major branches of the tribe have lived together since childhood. It is inevitable that there will always be some extra stories.The elders in the clan are tolerant and happy to hear about such a situation.However, what happened this time was not the wonderful gifted scholar and beautiful woman they imagined, but a peerless and forbidden love between women.

At that time, there were two amazingly talented girls from the two lines of astrology and divination. They awakened at the age of three, entered martial arts at the age of seven, and broke through the realm of fusion at the age of 13.Before he was sixteen, he was established as the successor by the two clans.Not siblings, but closer than compatriots.

As a matter of course, after this news accidentally leaked out, it caused an uproar at the time.Not only the three branches of the prophets reacted strongly, but the entire continent was boiling.Those two were exceptionally firm, no matter how much pressure the outside world exerted on them, even if the elites of the two clans were deprived of their inheritance and expelled from the clan, they still did not give up their relationship.

Later, several emperors were furious. They would never allow such a shocking behavior to be imitated by their subjects, and jointly issued a hunting order. They avoided chasing and killing all day long, exhausted physically and mentally.But because of their abilities—maybe the tribe couldn't bear to push them to a dead end, when they were expelled from the family, they didn't abolish their respective abilities—the two lived like this for two years without any danger.

But everything changed in the third year.The prophecy works against the sky, and has never interfered in the internal affairs of various countries. With the power of several empires, the two still keep escaping.Seeing the power of prophecy, the emperors were eye-opened, so they found the extreme north, and wanted to invite them to help all countries unify the world.

The patriarchs naturally refused, but they didn't know that, living in seclusion for hundreds of generations, they had long forgotten that people's hearts are sinister and the world is cold.Also forget the heart of defense.Their strength made all countries jealous, and their refusal made the emperors hold grudges. So with the help of a self-proclaimed upright traitor at the time, they joined forces to attack the extreme north.

The war lasted for a long time, and the whole world was involved in it.A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with severed limbs flying all over the place.Even at that time, my branch of predictors was still standing at the top of the world... It's really sad, but it was just for a poor love. Not prosperous, although the family is huge, but the real elite of direct lineage is extremely scarce. "

The story ends here.

The level classification of fortune tellers and martial arts cultivation is the same. At the beginning, there are three realms of fusion and nothingness, each realm has seven stages, and the seven rainbow colors of red, orange, green, blue, blue and purple are used as standards.At the beginning, the section is light red, the deeper the realm, the darker the color, until the section of nothingness, it has become dark red. Entering the realm of fusion at the age of 13, it's no wonder that such an amazingly talented person is famous across the continent.

"...I always thought that among the prophets, I was the only one who survived." Kong Zhu frowned slightly, and Shi Sang's words revealed too much information: "What about you? I can feel that you You are not a member of my mind-reading family. But the ability in your body is very similar to mine, are you a surviving member of the divination family?"

"Of course." Shi Sang nodded naturally between her brows, and said with infinite intimacy, "Didn't you notice? Our abilities come from the same line, so we always have a special feeling of wanting to be close to each other."

Kong Zhu hesitated for a while before slowly asking: "...Who is the traitor?"

A strange expression appeared on Shi Sang's face, she seemed to want to smile as easily as before, but after a long time of hard work, only half of the stiff arc was revealed.She sighed and gave up the fake expression: "Didn't you already guess it?"

Kong Zhu pursed his lips and remained silent.Yes, it was so obvious, how could she not guess it?There are three branches of the fortune teller lineage, one lineage is extinct, the other lineage is in decline, and there is still one lineage, but it seems to occupy the right time, place, and harmony, except for the lack of prosperity of the offspring, the power is getting stronger and stronger.

"He is the patriarch of that generation of mind-reading. After the deaths and injuries of several major branches, and the situation in the mainland has almost settled, he regretted it." Shi Sang showed a look of sadness or irony that he couldn't tell, "He regretted luring wolves into the house, and in order to atone for his sins, he set up a rule for his descendants: All descendants of my generation will be led by the line of divination, go together in life and death, and protect each other with life."

"The same-fate contract was also passed down at that time. When every family member of the Divination lineage becomes an adult, they will come to the Reading Heart lineage to choose a companion of their own."

Shi Sang looked at Kong Zhu for a moment, and said with a smile, "I came here this time for this purpose. I want you to be my companion."

She paused, and solemnly and seriously sent out the invitation:

"—Would you like to come with me?"
