More than four thousand years? Originally, Xia Yan thought that a history of more than four hundred years was already very long. But now, the third grandfather told him that the Xia family has a history of more than four thousand years. How could this not surprise him?
?
"Don't be surprised! In fact, the first ancestor of our Xia family was a Holy Emperor! Since that ancestor passed away, our Xia family has gradually declined. The current Xia family is far less powerful than before!" Xia Changhe
He sighed and said sadly.
Xia Yan was really shocked! He had never known this information. The earliest ancestor of the Xia family was actually a Holy Emperor? Xia Yan knew about the Holy Emperor. The strongest person in the Dragon Continent,
It is the Holy Emperor! The Holy Emperor controls the Holy Land, the Holy Land controls the Temple, and the Holy Temple controls the Holy Church!
The highest power center in a county like Yushui City is the Holy Church! And there are thousands of Holy Churches in the entire Dragon Continent. This shows how powerful the Holy Emperor is. It can be said that the Holy Emperor controls
The entire Dragon Continent!
"This ring was left by that ancestor. This ring is called the Lingluo Ring. In fact, this Lingluo Ring has been passed down to the next clan leader within the family. However, the previous clan leader of our Xia family
But he passed the ring to me." Xia Changhe said with a slight wry smile.
The last patriarch of the Xia family was Xia Changhe's father. He naturally had selfish motives when he passed this ring to Xia Changhe.
After Xia Yan was shocked, he took the dark ring from Xia Changhe's hand, put it on his hand, and stroked it carefully. There were many small lines on the ring that had not been rubbed away with the passage of time.
, the material of the ring is very strong, and although it has been passed down for four thousand years, these lines are still very clear.
"Xia Yan, please don't lose this Lingluo ring." Xia Changhe looked solemn, and then said: "Actually, our Xia family has always had a legend about this ring. This Lingluo ring is not an ordinary one.
Ring. If you can open this ring, you can gain the power in the ring and become a peerless strongman. Alas, it's a pity... In the past four thousand years, our Xia family has experienced hundreds of patriarchs, but no one can open this ring.
A ring. Now, even our tribe has gradually forgotten this legend. But, Xia Yan, no matter what, I hope this ring can bring you good luck!" Xia Changhe finally took the photo again.
Patting Xia Yan on the shoulder, Xia Yan felt the weight on her shoulders, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.
"Third Grandpa, I want to participate in the selection of outstanding family members next year! I want to study at Purple Leaf College. Only by going to Purple Leaf College can I challenge the leader of the Holy Church as soon as possible!" Xia Yan said firmly.
"Purple Leaf Academy? Master of the Holy Hall?" Xia Changhe was slightly startled and said with a bitter smile: "Xia Yan, one of your meridians is not connected now. What do you think about next year's selection..."
"Forget it, Xia Yan, come on, I hope you can pass the selection!" Xia Changhe suddenly smiled and looked at Xia Yan kindly. Obviously, Xia Changhe didn't mean what he said. He didn't really believe that Xia Yan could do it.
Xia Yan solemnly nodded his head. No matter how difficult it was, he would work hard to achieve his goal. Among the family's children under the age of fifteen, Xia Liu, the most accomplished ones, had opened eight of the one hundred and eight meridians.
Seventeen articles!
Looking at Xia Changhe's leaving figure, Xia Yancai gradually digested the information he just heard. From morning to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, from evening to early morning, Xia Yanzai carefully looked at the ring on his hand.
I went through it hundreds of times, even forgetting my hunger, and couldn't see anything unusual about this dark ring.
The sun rose, and the bright sunlight shone through the tall purple paulownia leaves in the courtyard. Xia Yan sat cross-legged under the purple paulownia tree, with his eyes closed, a faint blush on his face, working hard to think about it.
It is necessary to control the internal force like a gossamer to open up the meridians in the body.
After repeated efforts and repeated failures, the sun slowly slid above his head. Xia Yan had tried countless times, but none of them succeeded. The first meridian still showed no sign of being opened. However, Xia Yan
There was no discouragement on Junlang's face. He had never given up on practicing in the past ten years.
Suddenly, at this time, there was a burst of soft footsteps from outside the courtyard. Listening to this sound, Xia Yan knew that it was the footsteps of a woman.
"Is it that Xiao Cui again?" Xia Yan frowned, knowing that someone was about to walk into the courtyard, so he had to open his eyes first and stood up from the ground. He was a little angry in his heart and looked at the courtyard door with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Xiaocui, the patriarch's servant girl, disliked her very much.
The figure flashed, and a tall woman appeared in Xia Yan's eyes. The woman who entered Xia Yan's simple courtyard was not the clan leader's maid, Xiaocui.
"Are you Master Xia Yan?" When the woman saw Xia Yan, who was dressed in simple clothes in the courtyard, she was stunned for a moment. It was obviously the first time she saw Xia Yan, and then she opened her mouth and asked uncertainly.
Xia Yan nodded. He did not recognize this woman, but judging from her clothes, she must be a maid of the Xia family.
"Master Xia Yan, my name is Xiaoyu, and my young lady is Xia Zixin! The young lady asked me to bring you a book!" As Xiaoyu spoke, he looked around and saw no one else, then he carefully opened the book from his chest.
She took out an ancient book with a blue cover from her pink lapel. Judging from her appearance, it must be Xia Zixin who told her not to let others see it. There were several golden writings on the blue cover, called "The Falling Heroes Broken Jade Sword"
.
Xia Yan looked directly at Xiaoyu, his thin body not moving.
Xiaoyu puffed up her pink cheeks, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, and said secretly, "Although I haven't been to the Xia family for a long time, I have been with the young lady, and I also know the status of your young master in the Xia family. The young lady kindly asked me to send you the secret book.
You are practicing cultivation, but you show me such a face."
Although Xiaoyu was unhappy, she had no choice but to continue: "The lady asked me to send this book for Master Xia Yan to read carefully. She said she hoped this book would be helpful to the young master."
When Xia Yan saw this secret book, he knew that it should be the secret book of Xia Zixin's own cultivation. Although this secret book was not considered popular, it was the best among the less popular secret books. The ordinary descendants of the Xia family would not be able to obtain this secret book of cultivation.
Opportunistic.
There was a hint of unhappiness in Xiaoyu's tone, but Xia Yan's face did not change at all. Xia Yan's secret book of cultivation was secretly obtained by Xia Changhe. Although it was not popular, it was different from "The Fallen Hero's Broken Jade Sword"
Not much. Therefore, there was no need for Xia Yan to accept this secret book.
Xia Yan said calmly: "Thank you miss for me, but I don't need this secret book. Please take it back!"
As he said that, Xia Yan waved his hand slightly, making a gesture of seeing off the guests.
Xiaoyu obviously did not expect that Xia Yan would have such an attitude, and he would not accept the secret book. After being stunned for a moment, a look of anger appeared on her pink face.
After a full two or three breaths, Xiaoyu stamped her feet fiercely, grunted in dissatisfaction, turned around and left quickly. If she were in front of another young master, Xiaoyu would naturally not dare to do such a thing.
Dissatisfaction is expressed.
Xia Yan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and murmured to himself: "Thank you for your kindness. You just asked the maid to send me the secret book. Do you think I am just a waste? Do you think it will embarrass you if you come with me?"
?In this case, why did you send someone to deliver this secret book? Is it because you feel uneasy? "
A person stood quietly in the yard for a while. Xia Yan returned to his room, skillfully put several pieces of clothes of similar styles into a floral package, turned around and walked out of the yard, closing the shabby door.
wooden door.
"Didn't he even take a look?" In an exquisite small courtyard in the backyard of Xia's family, a woman in a white dress tightened her eyes and asked with a resentful tone.
Standing respectfully in front of her was the maid Xiaoyu who had just returned from Xia Yan's residence. Xiaoyu was holding the blue-covered "Luoying Broken Jade Sword" secret book in her hand.
"Yes, Miss, when he saw this book, he smiled indifferently, as if he despised the book that Miss gave him! However, that young master Xia Yan is really good-looking. I think among all the young masters in the Xia family,
"Only Master Xia Yan is the prettiest." Xiaoyu curled her lips, and when she thought of Xia Yan's smile at that time, she felt angry in her heart. But when she thought of Xia Yan's handsome appearance, she couldn't help but praise her.
"Forget it, since he doesn't need it, just think that I am a good person for nothing and let him go!" Xia Zixin waved her fair, smooth and boneless arms and sighed slightly.
In her opinion, Xia Yan was overestimating his own abilities. Even at this time, he still wanted to save face. She sighed quietly and said, "Forget it, whatever your future path will be, it's all your business. However,
, I will always keep the love between you and my brother and sister in my heart."
