Chapter 15 Chinese Kung Fu
Recently, Lu Ya'er has read a lot of books with the cooperation of the sect. This time, the direction of her research is the travelogues of her predecessors. Monks should not practice behind closed doors, and when their cultivation reaches a certain bottleneck, they often go out to experience and look for opportunities to break through. During their travels, in addition to visiting other friendly sects, they also explored secrets, such as ancient battlefields, the ruins of famous cities and palaces, or the former residences of their predecessors. Often a broken sword, a fragment of an inscription, or a relic of a predecessor's power may be a precious opportunity, so many travelers are happy to do it.
In the travelogues written by these travelers, in addition to exploring the secrets, they also record the natural and cultural environment along the way. After unremitting efforts, Lu Yaer corroborated each other in the vast travelogue and miscellaneous conversations, found many useful clues, and compiled them into a book of reading notes, called "Searching for the Secret of Detectives".
Lu Ya'er pointed out in her reading notes that the reason why many immortal cities have been abandoned in the long history is not only because of natural disasters and wars, but also because of the depletion of resources, such as the depletion of the leyline aura, the hunting and extinction of demon beasts, or the collection of elixirs. This is confirmed in the few words of many travelogues.
It is worth mentioning that although many seniors have speculated about the reasons for the abandonment of those immortal cities in their notes, they have not gotten to the point. You must know that tens of thousands of years ago was an era of national cultivation, and the large and small immortal cities were dotted throughout the Middle-earth Continent, according to the literature, the number of immortal cities at that time was even more than the current cities in the secular world, but the ruins of immortal cities that were successfully discovered were indeed less than one. This is really good news.
Not only that, Lu Ya'er consulted a lot of books related to the Dragon Searching Point, and also visited several senior brothers, sisters and elders who were good at this skill, and then deduced the situation tens of thousands of years ago according to the current distribution of spiritual veins in the Middle Earth Continent. In this way, Lu Yaer's research results this time are about to come out.
For a long time, the position of guarding the library was regarded as a chicken rib by the disciples of the sect. Many disciples believe that other books are worthless except for cultivating the Fa. Even the disciples who practice the exercises don't need a lot, it's enough to have one or two sets that suit them, and no matter how good the other exercises are, they don't have enough time to practice, so no one wants to stay in the library for a long time.
Since the last time Lu Ya'er's research results were circulated at the top level, the position of the caretaker of the Library Pavilion has become hot, and there are even Jindan elders who are willing to give in. However, in the fierce competition, the elder gave up his position to another elder's grandson, a disciple of the foundation building period surnamed Zheng.
Now Lu Ya'er can summon six imperial hands, and her combat power is comparable to the late stage of qi training, but it still seems to be at the level of qi training. At this time, there were six books beside Lu Ya'er, and she saluted Uncle Zheng, who was sitting on the ground and was solemnly seated...... These three books are the "Secrets", and these three are important related books......"
After listening to Lu Ya'er's report, Uncle Zheng couldn't pretend anymore, he stood up, took the six books one by one and held them in his arms, his fingers trembling slightly. This is sorted out by Lu Ya'er! That's a proper achievement! The previous master of the Library Pavilion was reused because of this little girl! After two months of waiting, it was finally my turn.
After hastily reading the previous summary, Uncle Zheng was so shocked that he didn't want to. Where are these reading notes, if someone exchanges the treasure of the big sect, it is estimated that the sect master will not agree. Such a precious six books were caught in the air by this little aunt and grandmother and thrown to play, in case they were snatched by the gang's spies, Uncle Zheng estimated that his suicide and apology would not be enough to calm the anger of the gang leader.
Uncle Zheng estimated that if he encountered an enemy, he would not be able to see enough, so he hurriedly played a communication talisman in the air and summoned his grandfather to come to escort him. Then the entire high-level of the sect was sensational again, and the security level of the Library Pavilion was also raised by several levels, and even a high-level person volunteered to disguise himself as a sweeping Taoist priest to be on guard in secret.
Yang Liu's temporary guardian in the United States is none other than Mayor Smith. The mayor was a well-known lawyer and had accumulated a large fortune and purchased a villa with a garden near the university town. Smith's family members in addition to his wife, Barbara. Smith, and son Billy. Smith and daughter Lilith. Smith.
Barb. Smith is a traditional American housewife, in her forties, with chestnut curly hair and a shawl, blue eyes, and a slender build, about 1.7 meters tall, who looks like a toned model.
Billy. Smith from the photo, in his twenties, looks like his father, black hair and blue eyes are a little handsome, she is currently going to college in other places, and she usually does not go home during the winter and summer vacations, it is said that he has a good part-time job at present, usually busy, and generally only comes back to reunite with his family on important holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Lilith. Smith is fifteen years old, looks like her mother, and is slightly taller than Willow. The only difference between Lilith and her mother is that she has shorter hair and resembles a tomboy.
After jet lag, the mother and daughter were greeted by Mr. Smith's family dinner. The main dish of the dinner was Mrs. Smith's roast turkey, and the dessert was a local biscuit made by Lilith.
When the tableware and drinks were set on the long table, Mrs. Smith welcomed the whole family: "Dear Mrs. Yang and beautiful Miss Yang, we are very honored to have you to my house, and I hope you can have a wonderful dinner today." ”
Before coming to the United States, Yang Liu suddenly memorized a lot of English words, coupled with the intellectual aura bonus, and now there is no problem with simple listening and speaking conversations. Translate Mrs. Smith's words to her mother, and then Yang Liu expressed her gratitude on behalf of her mother.
Since both parties did not understand each other's dining etiquette, the meal was eaten quietly, and both parties breathed a sigh of relief after the meal. In fact, the atmosphere at the dinner table of the Smith family has always been relaxed, and Mr. Smith often tells some humorous jokes at the dinner table to amuse his wife and daughter.
After the meal, the four women found a common topic and began to discuss the issue of clothing enthusiastically. Mother and daughter Smith were very interested in the costumes of the mother and daughter of Willow and asked a lot of questions. When encountering professional vocabulary that he didn't understand, Yang Liu used his mobile phone dictionary to check it, and basically did not encounter any obstacles after some communication, and Yang Liu's oral level even improved in conversation.
During the conversation, Mr. Smith sat next to him and watched quietly with a smile, occasionally interjecting a few words into an active atmosphere.
Mrs. Smith concluded, "Chinese dresses are some of the most aristocratic I have ever seen, and if I take them and show them to my friends, I am sure they will immediately fall in love with these beautiful clothes." ”
Yangliu's mother and daughter each live in a room, each with a separate toilet and bathroom, which is more convenient for life. The mother and daughter slept very soundly that night.
The next day, Mr. Smith personally drove the mother and daughter to Mermaid Middle School to register. Mermaid High School is a standard American-style private boarding school that dates back to the American Civil War. The school has strict management and strict school spirit, requiring students to live simply, have noble morals, help each other and friendship, and not be greedy for enjoyment. But it is also very difficult to get into such a school, if it is not to hit the state legislator or above, it is not you who choose the school for your child, but the school who chooses you. Of course, if the child is good enough, even if he comes from a poor family, the school will admit him or her, and give him considerable financial assistance.
Yang Liu's class is 8th grade class C, there are a total of 25 students including Yang Liu, and the homeroom teacher, Mrs. Carter, is a young and beautiful lady. Although Yang Liu had not yet taken the second foreign language test, Mr. Smith thought that the Chinese exchange student was good enough that the school agreed to transfer to another class for a while. By the way, Mr. Smith is also a member of the board of directors of the Mermaid School.
Willow's first lesson was on American history. The American history teacher was a tall, middle-aged man, Mr. Robert. In the first half of the class, Mr. Robert frothed at the mouth and talked about the American Civil War vividly and interestingly, describing many details of the war and the cruelty of the war. In the second half of the lesson, Mr. Robert gave a question and asked everyone to discuss: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you were Mr. Lincoln, would you start such a war?" ”
Many students raised their hands and answered enthusiastically, with about half of them choosing yes or no, and the reasons were varied, but they basically had a solid basis for what they said. Finally, Mr. Robert asked Yang Liu to answer this question, and Yang Liu thought for a moment and replied: "It is in the interest of the United States that the problem of division must be resolved quickly by war." Just look at the development of the American economy in the post-war decades. ”
After class, all the students in the class took turns to walk up to Yang Liu to introduce themselves. Among them, a shy little girl caught Yang Liu's attention, because her personality was more like Wen Jing.
"My name is Angela. White, please call me Angela. May I call you Liu, Miss Yang. Angela asked, blushing, speaking softly.
Willow replied, "Please call me Willow, it's a pleasure to meet you, Angela." ”
The school's curriculum is relatively compact, and the details of life are arranged in an orderly manner, and students hardly have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Yang Liu's room is a standard double room, a bit like a hotel, with a separate toilet and bathroom, wardrobe and desk, but there is no TV.
"My name is Hathaway, Richie. Dear Liu, you can call me Heather. Yang Liu's roommate was a beautiful girl with red hair, and she came up to greet her warmly as soon as they met.
"I'm an eighth-grader, but I've heard of you. Today is all your news, dear Liu, and I heard that you will have amazing Chinese kung fu...... This is your wardrobe, please let me help you put your clothes in...... Here's your school uniform...... By the way, let's talk about your Chinese kung fu......" Hathaway asked as she chattered as she helped Willow tidy up her wardrobe, showing the nature of her chatter.
