The river flowed quietly, and a small mound stood alone at the foot of the mountain. Mujin burst into tears and knelt down weakly. Others stood behind her and bowed towards Master Mujin's grave.

Mo Ming carefully lifted Hibiscus up and comforted: "As long as you believe, your teacher will live forever. He will definitely be watching you in a corner. You must live happily. From now on, no matter where you are,

I will always be with you..." He bit his lip, not knowing how to continue, because the first few sentences took him a long time to come up with. This was the first time he learned to comfort someone.

"Well..." Mu Jin was filled with tears and couldn't help but cry on Mo Ming's shoulder again.

"Boss Thorn, thank you for your life-saving grace, please take us in!" Aaron and Abel bowed to Thorn, pleading sincerely.

"Well..."

Everyone was stunned. They thought it would be a matter of course, but they didn't expect that Thorns would hesitate.

"You can stay, but as for you, please go." Thorns asked Abel to stay, but asked Aaron to leave. It was really unbelievable.

"Brother, they both have good intentions. Why did you deliberately break up these two people?" Mo Ming comforted Hibiscus. When he suddenly heard the decision made by Jingji, he felt angry in his heart. He also has a straightforward personality.

What did you say?

Wu Ling'er was also confused, but she always believed that as long as what Jingjie said was correct, he would not make mistakes, so she helped Jingjie comfort Mo Ming and said: "Your brother always has his own reasons for doing things, Mo Ming."

Don't panic and get mad at your brother."

Hibiscus walked up and patted Mo Ming on the shoulder, signaling him not to interrupt yet.

"Thornbush, don't bully me too much. You know that Abel and I are companions, but you deliberately sow our relationship. You look down on both of us, and you just made it clear that you don't want to take us in. Why do you need to play such a despicable trick!" Aaron!

He was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed loudly.

Abel pulled Aaron and bowed to the thorns with embarrassment, "Thank you for your life-saving grace. I will never forget it. But Aaron and I are companions in life and death, and we will never abandon each other.

So... let's say goodbye first." After that, he took Aaron and left here.

At night, a wet river wind blew. A crescent moon hung high, and the shadows of the trees swayed gently.

Mo Ming and his party sat scattered, closed their eyes and concentrated their consciousness. They carefully studied the introductory tutorial in the Cross Contract for the first time. When they opened the overview, they mainly introduced some basic knowledge: the level of cultivators in the Netherworld Continent is divided into cultivators, ghost warriors, and demons.

There are five levels: Emperor, Immortal Lord, and God Emperor, each level has a maximum of nine stars; the cultivation secrets are divided into human level, ghost level, demon level, fairy level, and god level, and each level has a maximum of nine levels; the indicator for judging the level of a cultivator is five talents.

, they are physical strength, defense power, attack power, explosive power, and perception power. Therefore, the types of cultivation secrets are often classified according to talents; special abilities in human genes can be stimulated by swallowing the Tianji Pill, and a person can only

You can take a Tianji Dan. After the Tianji Dan is successfully refined, you will gain an ability based on genetic characteristics (the success rate is extremely low. The success rate for the indigenous people of the Netherworld Continent is about one in 10,000, while for those who pass through the time and space tunnel, it is as high as 100%.

Fifty or more), the acquired abilities are divided into four levels based on practicality and destructiveness, namely mediocre level, terrifying level, demon level, and god king level. Each level is divided into nine levels. No ability can grow across levels.

(For example, if someone acquires a mediocre level ability, the limit of cultivation is the mediocre level ninth level, and he can no longer grow upwards.) After mastering the ability, the practitioner can focus on the whole body to release a fatal blow according to the characteristics of the ability.

.(Practitioners without abilities can create their own special skills after cultivating the five talents to the same level, or learn a special skill after the five talents reach the same level.)

After reading the overview, the first thing that came to mind were the five cultivation secrets prepared by the Nine Heavens Temple for them: the first one is called "Nine Heavens Tide Technique", which is a ghost-level fifth-grade secret book that can enhance physical strength; the second one is

"Intentional Blade Technique", second-level ghost level, is used to cultivate perception, and also has the effect of guiding the body to exert force, so it has no obvious attack effect; the third book is called "Whirlwind Strike", eighth-level human level, with

The function of increasing attack power is the most important combat skill; the fourth book is "Stone Refining Technique", a fifth-level human level, which is used to strengthen muscles and enhance defense; the fifth book is called "Volcano", a third-level human level

, used to increase explosive power. According to layman's understanding, these five books are of low quality, not even middle-grade. However, if you really want to sell them on the market, the price will be high, so Jiutian Temple is willing to sell them.

These books are a great addition to the introductory course.

Mo Ming glanced over it, and suddenly felt a big headache. He skipped the map attached to the secret book. Since Ji Ji could read it, he would just follow his brother from now on. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was right

When he was a young man, he happened to meet a beautiful girl like a flower. All his thoughts were tied to Hibiscus. In addition, he didn't like to compete with others, so he also mentioned these secrets of cultivation.

Not the least bit interested.

"Mo Ming, don't be half-hearted!" Jingjia walked over with a smile, facing the river and standing with his hands behind his back.

"Brother, you're here." Mo Ming quickly stood up and stood side by side with Jia Ji.

"I drove away Aaron and Abel today, and you were angry."

Mo Ming nodded frankly, "I'm a little angry, but mostly I don't understand."

"Why do you think I should keep them?"

"Although we were far apart at the time, we couldn't hear what they said. But it's not difficult to tell. At first, they both planned to save people, but then the bad guys arrived and they had to give up. So I can be sure that they are not bad people.

"

Thorns sighed, "Yes, they are not bad people, but they are definitely not good partners."

"Can you read faces?"

Jingjia smiled, "Some things don't necessarily need time to be verified like 'a road will tell the horse's power'. Often small details can see through a person."

“What’s wrong with Aaron and Abel?”

"If you think about it carefully, Aaron wanted to save people at first, but Abel ignored him."

"it seems to be like this."

"That means Aaron was more compassionate than Abel, right?"

"Um."

"But Aaron has a fatal flaw. This kind of person is a potential rat turd in the team."

Mo Ming's eyes widened, expressing great confusion.

"Later, Avar led people to chase him, and Aaron dragged Abel and ran away immediately. This shows that he values ​​profit over promise, and his compassion and loyalty are based on not harming his own interests. This kind of person lives in

He seems to be a good old man, but he is most likely to betray his friends at critical moments."

"What about Abel? Do you sincerely let him stay?"

"He is sincere, but I know he will not stay. Although he is a little cold, he does what he says and is a gentleman who keeps his word, so he is even less likely to abandon his companions."

Mo Ming nodded in understanding.

"My good brother, you can't follow me forever from now on. I don't want to train you to be a flower in the greenhouse. In the future, you will go out to find your own partners and start your own career in the Netherworld, so it depends on the person's knowledge.

People are particularly important.”

"You mean you're going to separate from me in the future and let me go out on my own?" Mo Ming was greatly surprised and looked at the thorns sadly.

"Yes, I have thought about it for a long time. If you are allowed to be with me, you will always live under my protection and will be destined to achieve nothing in the future. How can my brother of Thorns be just a little person? Brother hopes that in the future you and I will be named It can resound to every corner of the Netherworld Continent.”

Mo Ming opened her mouth wide, startled by the sudden goal in life.

Thorns patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my brother will wait until you have the ability to survive alone before leaving. Anyway, not now."

"oh……"

"Your little girlfriend is here." Jingjie whispered, deliberately giving Moming a lustful look, laughed, turned and walked away.

Mo's ears turned red, and she quickly pretended to be calm and turned around to wave to Hibiscus.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, hibiscus in a pleated skirt was like an orchid blooming quietly at night, indescribably beautiful and refined. Walking towards him, a faint fragrance hit his nostrils, and before he could react, the thin hands of hibiscus were already blooming. She hugged his arm and pulled him to sit down on a stone by the river.

"How did you go with the introductory tutorial?" Hibiscus turned around and asked with a smile.

"Well..." Looking at the girl's beautiful face and those eyes that seemed to be able to speak, Mo Ming actually forgot her words.

"Huh?" Hibiscus's eyes opened wider and she tilted her head to look at him, "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh...hehe...I looked at it a little bit."

"Then which book are you going to start practicing from?"

Mo Ming scratched the back of his head, "I think I'd better start practicing from the simplest one. "Volcano" is the lowest level. I'll practice it from tomorrow on."

"You chose the wrong one. "Volcano" has the lowest level, but it is more difficult to practice. This kung fu emphasizes explosive power. After successful practice, it has the effect of lifting a thousand pounds. Its practice process is extremely domineering and fierce, and it requires considerable physical strength. Harsh, so I suggest you practice "Nine Heavens Tide Kung Fu" first. After strengthening your physical strength, you can have more energy to practice other elements. The order of practice can be based on the grades of these five books, starting from high to low. .”

Listening to Hibiscus's sweet voice, this kind of eloquent and methodical explanation is very enjoyable.

"Hibiscus, you know so much. I will definitely work hard to practice, and I will protect you well in the future and prevent you from getting hurt." Mo Ming patted her chest and assured confidently.

"Oh... no, from now on, I will protect you!"

Mo Ming, who was still a little lazy at first, is now full of confidence in practicing martial arts. Maybe women are just medicine for adolescent boys, and hibiscus is a good medicine that is hard to find in the world, but all good medicines are bitter, and the bitterness is unforgettable.

Hibiscus hugged her knees, lowered her head and smiled implicitly. At this moment, the moon shadow in the river became gentle.

"Well, Hibiscus will always be with you, no matter whether you are an unknown pawn or a powerful figure in the world in the future." Hibiscus looked up at the moon, as if she could see two shadows leaning against each other.

"I have decided that from tomorrow on, except for sleeping, I will spend all my time practicing."

"Well, I will always be behind you to support you. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask me."

"By the way, how far have you cultivated now?" Mo Ming couldn't help but be curious.

"Well..."

Mo Ming looked at Hibiscus and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just show me your current cultivation results, so that I can have a reference in mind."

"Well."

Hibiscus stood up, took a breath slowly, concentrated her mind, and suddenly shouted: "Tornado strike!" At this time, her right fist brought up a strong wind, and a powerful white cyclone wrapped around her elbow to

The fist was spinning rapidly. There was an explosion, and the stone that was half a man's height on the ground was smashed into pieces in seconds.

Mo Ming's jaw almost dislocated and fell to the ground. When did Hibiscus become so powerful?

"So...so awesome..."

Mu Jin walked towards Mo Ming and said sadly: "If I had concentrated on practicing earlier, maybe the master would not have died."

"Stop blaming yourself, okay? If your master is alive in heaven, he will be happy for you if he sees that you have mastered the whirlwind strike like this in only half a day."

Hibiscus nodded, "I hope."

"By the way, that move you just performed shows how far you have practiced."

"In terms of attack power alone, it barely reaches the early stage of human level one. This is all due to the fact that I have learned Taekwondo before, and my understanding ability is not weak, so I didn't encounter many obstacles in learning, so it was easy.

That’s it.”

After hearing this, Mo Ming felt a sense of frustration. He held his head with both hands, grabbed his hair, and said with some frustration: "You have to have physical strength, perception, attack power, defense power, and explosive power to all reach the human level before you can reach the next level."

Star cultivator, this difficulty is too great."

"Don't forget what you said about protecting me. How can I give up the one I like so easily?" After saying this, Mu Jin took advantage of Mo Ming's attention and kissed him gently on the cheek, and then quickly acted like a

The fawn turned around and ran away in an extremely shy and excited mood.

The gentle kiss on Mo Ming's cheek was still warm, and under the breeze, the cold feeling evoked a tickling pleasure in her heart.
