In the humble thatched hut, the dim butter lamp flickered, and the old wooden box was opened, revealing a pale blue short blade, a yellowed scroll, and a dull gray half-foot seal pen.

The sealer, the portrayal of the writer also.

The so-called seal pen is actually a kind of thing that resembles a brush, and the tip of the pen is a sharp blade, which is the tool required by the spirit pattern master to carve the spirit pattern.

Therefore, the seal pen is also called the pattern knife.

Lin Xun personally prefers the name of the knife, the knife, the homonym is to ask, ask the world, who is competing?

It's indescribably exhilarating.

Lin Xun's gaze lingered for a long time on the [Yellowed Scroll] and the [Dark Gray Half-Foot Seal Pen], these two things had an extremely unusual meaning to him.

The yellowed scroll is about three fingers thick, the scroll is nameless, the book skin is cut from animal skin, it is already very worn, it is obvious that this book has existed for a long time, just a glance, it makes people feel a breath of time.

The dark gray half-foot seal pen is also quite unique, quite different from the usual seal pen, it is more like a sword, the surface is dull, imprinted with a mysterious cloud pattern, the pen is like a sword blade, and the whole body exudes a chilling cold breath, reaching the depths of the soul.

These are the two most important mysterious treasures on Lin Xun's body.

In addition to the three items of short blades, scrolls, and seal pens, there are also some bones, animal skins, plant stems, ores and other things, all of which are spiritual materials, which can be used to refine weapons, and after special smelting, they can also be used as spiritual ink and materials required for seal carving spiritual patterns.

These spiritual materials were all collected by Lin Xun during this long journey, and if they were used to sell, they could also obtain a lot of wealth.

In the far corner of the wooden box, there is also a pile of hard wood that is only the thickness of a thumb, and the whole body is uneven and rugged, like jade.

The name of this wood is "stone pine silverwood", and it has no value, and its only characteristic is that it is hard enough, as hard as stone.

For Lingwen apprentices, learning to carve Lingwen, stone pine silver wood is an excellent practice material.

Lin Xun carefully took out the thick yellowed scroll and sat down at the desk by the window.

Looking at this scroll quietly, Lin Xun did not open it, but fell into deep thought.

In a trance, Lin Xun's thoughts were flying, as if he had returned to the past.

......

It was a mine prison with a lot of prisoners and isolated from the rest of the world.

From the time Lin Xun first began to remember, he had been staying in that mine prison, where the sky was black, dark and damp, and there was never sunlight.

The atmosphere there was also oppressive, with prisoners dying every day and new prisoners being brought in every day.

In Lin Xun's memory, until that mine prison was completely destroyed, no one had ever been able to escape from that prison.

Strictly speaking, Lin Xun was not a prisoner, he was an abandoned baby, and when he was discovered, he was almost eaten as food by those fierce and vicious prisoners.

This is what Mr. Deer told him.

And the reason why Lin Xun survived was, of course, that he was saved by Mr. Lu.

No one knows the origin of Mr. Deer, but his position in that mine prison is very unique, whether it is the guards guarding the mine prison or those prisoners, they all respect Mr. Lu very deferentially.

It's all because of Mr. Deer's other identity - the Spirit Tattoo Master.

Lin Xun has been following Mr. Lu since he was a child, and since he was sensible, he has been ordered by Mr. Lu to do all kinds of things.

literacy, identification of spiritual materials, learning to make ink, practicing seal carving, and memorizing spiritual patterns...... At the same time, he also takes care of serving tea, pouring water, laundry, cooking and other chores.

Lin Xun thought that he was already a disciple of Mr. Lu, and the guards and prisoners in the mine prison thought the same.

But Mr. Lu never recognized Lin Xun as a disciple, according to Mr. Lu, he never planned to accept apprentices in his life, Lin Xun could only be regarded as a miscellaneous person by his side, nothing more.

For this statement, Lin Xun was also depressed for a while, but then gradually forgot about it, but deep in his heart, he always regarded Mr. Lu as a teacher.

Life in the mine prison is very boring and dark, and as Lin Xun gradually grows up, he also begins to slowly understand that there is a wider world outside of this mine prison.

When Lin Xun was nine years old, Mr. Lu took Lin Xun out for the first time and left the prison mine.

But only three days later, he returned.

In the past three days, the shock to Lin Xun was huge, he saw the appearance of the outside world, saw the sun, and also saw the blue sky and white clouds.

From then on, every once in a while, Mr. Deer would take him out for ten days at most and three days at the least, and then return to the mine prison again.

The purpose of going out is also simple, Mr. Lu carved the spirit pattern, and he needs to go out to pick up more spiritual materials.

And as he went out again and again, Lin Xun finally had a further understanding of the world.

The only thing that made Lin Xun wonder was why Mr. Lu would rather stay in the dark mine prison than stay outside?

Unfortunately, until the mine prison was shattered and disappeared, Lin Xun did not get a definite answer.

The mine prison was shattered......

Thinking of this, Lin Xun, who was sitting at the desk, felt a sudden pain in his heart, and the tragic picture of three months ago irrepressibly appeared in his mind.

On that day, he was practicing carving a "Aoki Spirit Pattern" pattern, and Mr. Lu was smelting a furnace of spiritual materials, babbling something in his mouth.

Outside the room, a group of guards were wielding blood-stained iron whips in their hands, whipping the prisoners who were unable to do their jobs, shouts and wails echoing under the dark sky.

This kind of day is no different from the past, Lin Xun has long been used to it, and he will not even sympathize with those prisoners who seem to be pitiful, but are actually extremely vicious in their bones.

It's just that on that day, the only one who seemed a little strange was Mr. Deer.

Lin Xun has known since he was a child that Mr. Lu has a very bad temper, irritable and impatient, and he doesn't know how many times he has been scolded by Mr. Lu since he was a child, and he has long been used to it.

Because Mr. Lu scolds and scolds, but he never beats people, and when he scolds Lin Xun, it is often when Lin Xun makes mistakes.

It's just that Mr. Lu's temper was particularly irritable that day, and he broke many things in the house, and even his favorite seal pen "Qingqiong Burning Gold" was broken by him.

Just when Lin Xun felt a little strange in his heart, he saw Mr. Lu take out an old wooden box, throw the yellowed scroll, a pale blue short blade, and a dull half-foot seal pen into the wooden box, and hand it to Lin Xun, who was in a daze.

To this day, Lin Xun still remembers that Mr. Lu's expression at that time was uncertain and complicated, with hatred, helplessness and unwillingness, but in the end, it all turned into a serious and solemn color.

That kind of seriousness and solemnity is something Lin Xun has never seen, and he will never forget that scene in his life.

At that time, Mr. Lu grabbed Lin Xun's shoulders tightly with both hands, very hard, and when Lin Xun felt that his bones were about to be crushed, Mr. Lu spoke.

"From today onwards, you have to learn to survive alone, so you have to live well!"

At that moment, Mr. Lu's voice was hoarse and firm, and his eyes were bloodshot, full of madness as if he was dying.

"Remember, Lao Tzu saved you with great difficulty, and you must not die!"

Then, Mr. Lu pointed to the [Yellowed Scroll] and the [Dark Gray Seal Pen], and said in an unprecedented solemn tone, "You must take good care of them in the future! Whether you can successfully practice in the future depends on them! Especially that pen, which hides a secret that even I have not yet revealed, as long as you can crack it, even if it is dug out of the origin spiritual vein, it is enough to change your life against the sky!"

"Also, haven't you always wanted to know who deprived you of the original origin spirit vein? Lao Tzu told you, the answer lies in the Ziyao Empire!"

"You have to live to find it, so you can't die!"

"Remember!?"

In the almost hysterical voice, Mr. Lu's expression had become faintly hideous, Lin Xun was completely shocked at that moment, and nodded subconsciously.

Then, Mr. Lu grabbed Lin Xun's thin and thin body, and went on a rampage all the way to a secluded mine crossing that Lin Xun had never seen before.

"Go ahead!"

The mine road is secluded, like a bottomless abyss, but Mr. Lu did not hesitate to push Lin Xun into the depths of the mine entrance.

At that moment, Lin Xun didn't even have time to react, the whole person was like a cliff falling up and down, and his head was blank.

It was also at that moment that he saw an old palm in his vision, tearing through the darkness above the mine prison and descending with a bang.

The old man's palm was so big that it covered the sky, every knuckle was like a pillar of optimus, every palm print was like a ravine, and the terrifying purple flames permeated the surface of the old palm, like a purple sea of fire pouring from the extraterrestrial starry sky, incinerating the darkness and burning the sky, filled with a terrifying aura of destruction.

Lin Xun never knew whose hand in this world could ...... Cover the sky!
