Chapter 154: Apprenticeship

It seemed that this would ease his mood at this time, he had never seen a dead person before, and now he looked back on what he saw, the falling head, the broken body.

At that time, I was immersed in the grief of the death of my loved one, but in retrospect, it was a little terrifying, I was afraid that after today, I would have nightmares every night.

Maybe the negative effect of sadness is to speed up the flow of time. But I also felt that I had only come over for a while, and I returned to the original place.

The place where that tragedy began.

The emperor and the army were stationed in the camp and were cooking a "big pot of rice", and they just had salt, but they didn't need the salt cloth, and it was rare to be able to eat a good meal.

Half of the emperor's army went up the mountain to hunt, because Hu Xiu said that he would send people to the forest surnamed Hu Rihua, and it would take more than half an hour to say anything about it.

For such a long time, you have to go up to the mountains to get some game to eat.

But they didn't think about it, they came back early, and they were still covered in blood, and it was obvious that it must be a bloody battle.

There was a commotion in the camp of Emperor He, and most of the people left the camp and rushed towards it.

Hu Xiu was still eating fruit in the carriage, looking at the map, and was also shocked by this situation. Hurriedly stood up and rushed outside.

The emperor and the sergeants who were sent out by him looked depressed one by one, and the things that the captain gave them, they couldn't complete, and even those who had to be protected, one survived.

"What's going on?" Hu Xiu's face was a little unsightly, why did he go out and come back like this.

Luo Chenyi hurriedly jumped off the horse and walked to the front.

"Lord Captain, we have encountered a mountain bandit, and you want us to escort the people who have passed...", he said and looked at the little boy who was still on the horse, "and he is the only one left alive." ”

After speaking, he looked at Hu Xiu again, and hurriedly said, "All this is a dereliction of duty by subordinates." ”

"You can't be blamed for this, if you want to blame it, you can blame that group of mountain bandits are not long-sighted and provoked the wrong person." Hu Xiu said with a chill, "What about those mountain bandits now?" ”

"They're all dead, and I've taken off the leader's head." As he spoke, a soldier behind him came down with a head, and from this head, it can be seen that the deceased was originally very fat.

"Then why did these bandits rob you?"

"For the gold." Luo Chen kept saying frankly.

Hu Xiu then remembered that the four pieces of gold he gave them, but this was not a normal transaction? Why did those bandits have the intention of robbing and killing, just for the sake of those four gold bricks?

Hu Xiu smiled bitterly, he didn't know who to blame, blame him for not buying these fruits? But he felt that he was not wrong, he just thought, these fruits are indeed good, buy them, and leave them for himself and the soldiers of the Emperor and the army to eat and taste.

What's wrong with that?

But these mountain bandits who kill people without blinking an eye have killed dozens of people for gold, how ruthless they are, Hu Xiu can't think about it, and he can't guess it.

"So, that kid is the only one alive in that group?"

Hu Xiu pointed to the child on the horse, but he didn't think that he himself was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child.

"Yes." Luo Chenyi replied.

"I'm really sorry~" Hu Xiu looked at him, but he didn't know how to comfort him. His closest relatives are dead, what will he do in the future?

"Is there anyone else in your house?"

"Yes, my mother and aunt." The little boy said.

"If you want, I can have someone send you back, and this time I promise not to be in danger again." Hu Xiu wanted to let the old eunuch escort him back.

"No," the little boy looked at Luo Chenyi with some hesitation, and his eyes were firm for a few moments, "I want to stay!" ”

"Huh?" Hu Xiu thought that he had heard it wrong and stayed?

"I want to stay in the Emperor and Army, follow him, and learn martial arts." The little boy pointed to Luo Chenyi.

"Are you sure?" Hu Xiu wondered, why did he fall in love with this guy, this guy kills people, but he doesn't blink.

"Hmm." He hummed firmly.

"Luo Chenyi, what do you think?" Hu Xiu didn't mind Luo Chen accepting him as an apprentice, after all, there was a sense of guilt in his heart, and it would be good if he really let Luo Chen accept him as an apprentice.

"I..."Luo Chenyi rarely hesitated, "then what about your family?" ”

"I'll take care of the rest of the matter." Hu Xiu said, he can really solve it for him. Of course, this solution can only be to find their families and send money over.

If you live in the county seat, let the magistrate take care of their family more, if you are in the village, you have to persuade them to go to the county seat, and it is still too dangerous between the villages. Hu Xiu was afraid that when the child went back, no one could be found.

"Have you really thought about being my apprentice?"

"Hmm."

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm." The little boy still said firmly.

Saying that, Luo Chenyi looked at Hu Xiu again, "Lord Captain, do we still have to hurry today?" ”

"Today?" Hu Xiumo rubbed his chin, "If you don't exterminate the bandit den that was robbed this time, I'm not willing to leave like that." ”

This group of bandits is definitely not rootless water, there must be someone behind this, although they can't figure it out, they just killed people for forty gold. But it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that they killed dozens of good people in Dahu, then they have to be responsible for what they did.

As soon as Luo Chen listened to Hu Xiu's words, he knew that he should not leave again during this time, so he took his spear and walked into the woods.

I found a long branch, tried the weight, looked at the length again, and nodded.

"The army doesn't talk about accepting apprentices or accepting apprentices, so you don't need to bow to the teacher, and I can only rob it, so it's too late for you to regret it now." Luo Chen's voice just fell.

"Master!" The little boy knelt down directly and kowtowed three times.

"Hey~ You guys even tell each other their names." Hu Xiu looked at it with a big head, so sloppy, what kind of apprentice is this.

"Master, my name is He Xiaowen...", the little boy said excitedly.

"It doesn't matter." Luo Chenyi interrupted him, and threw the long stick in his hand over, "From now on, until night, take this long stick and stab it ten thousand times." ”

"Hey! Luo Chenyi, you're too strict, 10,000 straight stabs, can he stand this body? "Hu Xiu can also feel it, this He Xiaowen has no martial arts foundation at all, 10,000 direct stabs, his body can't bear it at all!

Even some third- and fourth-order martial artists, if they stab down like this, they will be a little tired.

"Lord Captain, I have been practicing like this since I was a child, and I feel that there is no problem with this training method." Luo Chenyi said.

Don't have any questions? Then you have to think about it, you at least had martial arts at that time!

Alas~ Speaking of martial arts, Hu Xiu suddenly remembered something, turned around and returned to the carriage, and after a while, he came down again, holding a booklet in his hand.

"He Xiaowen, do you have your own mental method?" Hu Xiu asked.

"Mind, what's that?"

Yes, that's a vain question.

"This book has its own heart method, you first follow the above practice, by the way, you should be literate."

"Literacy."

"That's good." Hu Xiu handed him the secret book in his hand, and this secret book was naturally the secret book given to him by Akai Kikako. As soon as he went up, he asked her if she could give this secret to someone else.

But she waved her hand generously, indicating that she didn't care at all.

"Is this the martial arts method?" He Xiaowen looked at the booklet in his hand, which was translated into Dahu characters, his face showed excitement, and the long wooden gun in his hand slowly loosened.

"At any time, the spear in your hand is not allowed to loosen!" Luo Chenyi didn't know when he walked behind him.

"Yes, master!" The wooden gun in He Xiaowen's hand tightened his grip a little more.

Hu Xiu also glanced at Luo Chenyi strangely, this guy really didn't seem to have seen him let go of the silver gun in his hand.

"He Xiaowen, do you know the exact address of your home?" Hu Xiu asked.

"Yes."

"I can write."

"Yes."

Hu Xiu took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and said, "Write it down." ”

"Okay."

He Xiaowen held a wooden gun in his left hand and wrote with one hand in his right hand, although it was a little awkward, but the handwriting was still better than what Hu Xiu wrote.

"It's written." He handed over the paper.

Of the only seven seventh-order masters in the Emperor's army, Hu Xiu summoned four, and even one was the peak of the seventh order.

But it was a whisper in their ears.

"Got it!" Hu Xiu said.

"Understood, Captain!"

"Go ahead."

They took the piece of paper written by the boy, on which was the exact address of He Xiaowen's house.

Soon, they gathered another wagon and guarded a carriage with an iron box containing a thousand taels of silver, which to be honest it was not very much.

In fact, Hu Xiu can also put a hundred taels of gold in it, but if it is loaded with gold, the wheels of the carriage are pressed on the road, and the rut depth formed is different.

The heavier the wagons, the deeper the ruts; If it is lighter, it is shallow. Hu Xiu just thought that the ruts were deep, otherwise how could those mountain bandits be lured out.

But helplessly, Luo Chenyi didn't leave a single mouth, otherwise there would be so much trouble, and now he could go directly to their mountain bandits' lair.

This team of people is only about twenty people, and they don't dare to let too many people, but they are all elites. There are four seventh-order martial artists, and the others are all sixth-order, and this lineup, even if they encounter an eighth-order, can resist for a moment.

But only for a moment. Unless you can meet a martial artist like the head of the Lu family, relying on external forces, he broke through the eighth order, the kind of eighth-order master, who was so weak that he was overturned by a seventh-order, and then died at the hands of his grandmother.

Hu Xiu suspects that he can fight if he is on. However, the situation was urgent, and he had to flee.

This group of twenty people set off, swaying, this is what Hu Xiu said, go slowly, as long as you can come back before the evening. At this time, I can only hope that those mountain bandits will do it again.

And at this moment, the boy finally finished reading the mental method and tried to run the qi and blood, just a few times. Hu Xiu noticed that his qi and blood seemed to be gradually running.

The talent is good~ Hu Xiu thought secretly, but this can't be regarded as stepping into the first order. A first-order martial artist needs exercises, and he can only be considered a first-order martial artist if he runs for a week.

The state of a first-order martial artist is actually so powerful as that ordinary person, and his own qi and blood are a little thicker than that of ordinary people.

According to his speed, he felt the speed of qi and blood, and after running a circle, it should be a matter of two or three days. Hu Xiu didn't know if this talent was great, but it was definitely much better than the women in the car.

Until now, he has only broken through the first order, especially Wuqin is the slowest and takes the longest.

"Can you practice straight stabbing now?" Luo Chenyi said lightly.

"It's okay, master!" He Xiaowen said loudly.

Hu Xiu had a headache when he saw it, and he also wanted to stop it, this little boy shouldn't be very afraid when he heard that he was going to practice 10,000 straight stabs, he was so excited and did nothing, like this, he was embarrassed to speak for him.

At the first shot, the little boy stabbed straight out.

"The posture is wrong, this shot doesn't count."

"Luo Chenyi's shot, even if it is on those 10,000 guns, 10,000 guns and more than 9,000 guns, there is not much difference." Hu Xiu comforted.

"When you're on the battlefield, the enemy won't kill you just because you got the wrong gun, or because you're full of guns." Luo Chen said lightly, I don't know if I said it to Hu Xiu or He Xiaowen.

"Yes! Master. ”

"You come to learn from me, this gun also has a technique, don't swing your legs like this, the posture of pinching the gun in your hand, no... It should be pinched like this, otherwise the gun will be weak and weak, and it will stab the enemy like an itch. ”

Luo Chen said as he posed, and the silver spear was pinched in his hand, which was a straight stab.

Fast and swift, like a dragon in the clouds.

……

ps: Salt cloth, most of the ancient marching troops, prepared this thing, because salt is an indispensable thing for people. But there is also such a thing as vinegar cloth in "Tang Brick", which is similar to salt cloth, both seasonings.

One can not be jealous, but one must not be without salt. If people do not consume salt for a long time, they will experience symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, weak pulse, muscle spasms, blurred vision, and weakened reflexes, and even cause death.

The normal process of apprenticeship in ancient times: 1. Dressing properly, 2. Worshipping the teacher, 3. Purifying hands and hearts, 4. Cinnabar enlightenment.
