Chapter 2 The self-cultivation of the traverser

In the past few days, Lin Xiaotian has been staying in the room, and Lin Dakang rarely comes to disturb him. In addition to eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is spent reading history books and geographical documents. After stealing a few days of leisure, Xiaotian is doubly serious.

Through Lin Xiaotian's reading and analysis, he knew that this was a place called the Qinya Continent, and dozens of countries large and small were divided on the continent, of which seven major countries were the main ones, and dozens of vassal countries were supplemented. The country where he lives is called Qi State, and he is one of the Seven Heroes of the Mainland. And it can be ranked third among the seven heroes. The remaining six heroes are Qin, Chu, Korea, Zhao, Wei, and Yan. Among them, the Qin State is the most powerful, and the reason why it is called the Qin Asia Continent is because there was only one Qin Ya Kingdom hundreds of years ago, and several small vassal states around it. The subject state is required to pay an annual tribute, as if it were a "protection fee", and when the subject country is violated by war, it can ask its protectorate for help. When the old emperor of Qin died, the crown prince was young, which led to the division of the country.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, Qin was in the most central position on the mainland, but because of its wealth and strength, with millions of troops, other countries were afraid of it. In the northwest is the Wei State, and its strength can only be regarded as the second-to-last. The northeast is the Yan country, and the strength is the second. This is inextricably linked to the arid climate and sparse population in the north. To the east is South Korea, a country close to the sea. To the south are the states of Qi and Chu. These two countries are allied with each other, and they are also in-laws, and the means of in-law are an important means of maintaining relations between the two countries, and the queen of Qi is the sister of the monarch of Chu. The westernmost is the Zhao State, which is only stronger than the Qin State, and its strength should not be underestimated. There were constant wars between countries, plundering each other's resources, and for hundreds of years, there was little peace on the continent.

The Qinya continent advocates the strong, and various countries have recruited talents to work for it in order to enhance their national strength. As long as you have strength and you are strong, you will be respected and treated highly. Both intelligence and force can be, in a word, "the strong are respected".

But obviously, Lin Xiaotian, a "fool", is not respected by people, and it is a joke in people's mouths. Although his grandfather Lin Yuanzhong was the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Qi State, he held heavy troops and was a very popular minister. But birth, old age, sickness and death are common things for people, and when Lin Yuanzhong was alive, he could protect Lin Xiaotian and protect him from being bullied. But can you protect it for a while, and you can protect it for a lifetime? Fortunately, Emperor Zhu Yanshou of Qi named him "Marquis of Anle", but under this kind of mainland atmosphere where the strong are respected, I am afraid that Lin Xiaotian's life in the future will not be comfortable. After all, it's all too easy to bully a fool.

This strong sense of crisis makes Lin Xiaotian have the idea of constantly enriching himself, he firmly believes that only his own strength is the most reliable, in order to stand tall in the heaven and earth, as a traverser can not be muddy, the big husband should carry a three-foot sword, and make immortal achievements!

Lin Xiaotian decided to go to the old housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, Uncle Xu. This Uncle Xu used to be Lin Yuanzhong's captain of the guard, and he was loyal to Lin Yuanzhong, because he was lame in the war, and later he has been helping to manage the affairs of the mansion in the Lin Mansion. Although Uncle Xu is strict, he is very good to the people of the Lin Mansion. He is very respected in the Lin Mansion and has a high status.

Lin Xiaotian came to the west courtyard of the Lin Mansion. In the Lin Mansion, the East Courtyard is where the Lin family lives, and in fact, it is Lin Xiaotian and Lin Yuanzhong. Lin Yuanzhong was away all the year round because of the war. Lin Xiaotian's father died in battle, and his mother died in childbirth. His grandmother passed away very early, and Lin Yuanzhong was loyal to his feelings, and after his death, he never had a new wife, which was praised by the world. Now there is actually only Lin Xiaotian in the East Courtyard. The west courtyard is where the servants of the Lin Mansion live, and Uncle Xu naturally lives here. Lin Xiaotian came to the West Courtyard, which surprised Uncle Xu, who was watering the flowers, and in his impression, the little master should be playing his favorite swing at this time. Instead of coming here to see him, an old man. If the swing is broken, it should be repaired by Lin Dakang's kid.

"Uncle Xu, I want to study!" Lin Xiaotian explained his intention straightforwardly.

"Who is learning? How can I offend the young master, Uncle Xu, I have to repair him! Uncle Xu's white beard was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists. It's really no one in my Lin Mansion. The young master took me to see what kind of thing doesn't have long eyes. ”

"Well, learning is not personal." Lin Xiaotian explained embarrassedly.

"It's not a human, it's a dog? The young master was bitten by a dog? You have to rush to treatment. "Xiaotian was raised by Uncle Xu since he was a child, and because Lin Yuanzhong is rarely at home, Uncle Xu takes care of Xiaotian, so in Uncle Xu's eyes, Xiaotian is like his own grandson. I love him very much.

Lin Xiaotian broke out in a cold sweat, so he patiently explained to Uncle Xu that he wanted to study and practice martial arts. Because he had just crossed over, Xiao Tian didn't express himself very clearly, probably saying that he wanted to know more about mainland culture and martial arts to strengthen his body.

With a sound of "duang", Xu Bo's kettle smashed on the ground, making a crisp sound. After listening to Lin Xiaotian's explanation, Uncle Xu looked incredulous, his expression was strange, and he stared at him with wide eyes, just like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

In the past, Mr. Lin did not invite Mr. Lin Xiaotian, because of Xiaotian's particularity (uh, he is a fool, Marshal Lin doesn't want his grandson to practice his homework like other students, so as not to be laughed at, it is more convenient to invite him to his home). It's a pity that Lin Xiaotian is not interested in the slightest, he only knows how to play, and he doesn't have the slightest idea of practicing homework. even teased Mr. like a prank, making Mr. discouraged, and finally so angry that Mr. slammed the door and left, which made the old marshal embarrassed. As for martial arts, Lin Yuanzhong was already a heaven-level master, and the Lin family's ancestral "Starry Sky Sword Technique" was practiced to the 7th layer, reaching the realm of seven stars and moons. It's a pity that Lin Xiaotian's body is thin and weak, and his IQ is even more limited, after all, martial arts not only requires diligent efforts, but also needs to be understood. According to legend in the mainland, an ordinary master directly leaped to a heaven-level master after an epiphany one day, which shows the importance of talent. The old man gave up the idea of teaching him martial arts. Now, Lin Xiaotian took the initiative to ask to learn these, which surprised Uncle Xu.

"Young Master, are you serious?" Uncle Xu looked at Lin Xiaotian suspiciously, and after speaking, he touched Xiaotian's forehead with his hand, Uncle Xu really suspected that the little young master had burned his brain...... In fact, "Xiaotian's" brain has already burned out.

Lin Xiaotian was aware of the particularity of his identity, and his words and actions did not look like the performance of a "fool" at all. If you don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid it will arouse Xu Bo's suspicion, and then it will be a big trouble. At this time, Xiao Tian's mood was quite complicated.

"Dakang boasted to me that practicing martial arts can fly in the sky, higher than a swing, I think it must be fun. As for reading, grandpa has always hoped for it. I want to make grandpa happy. Lin Xiaotian lowered his head and explained shyly. I was still very apprehensive in my heart.

"Oh, what a good boy with filial piety. The old man must be very pleased when he finds out. Uncle Xu's eyes were moist and he patted Lin Xiaotian on the shoulder.

"Young master, don't worry, Uncle Xu, I'll arrange it." Uncle Xu always put the affairs of the Lin family in the first place. Just like the captain of the guard who served Lin Yuanzhong back then. There's no need to ask too much, it's more about execution. Xu Bo has always had a strong military style.

"It's easier to practice martial arts, although the old man is lame, but he was also a second-stage master at the prefecture level before, and there is no problem in guiding the young master to get started. As for please sir, it's still more troublesome. Uncle Xu stroked his beard and thought.

"Young master, which scholar do you want to study with in the Royal Forest Garden?" Uncle Xu felt that it was better to let Xiao Tian choose Mr., lest the young master regret it in the future, and he would not be able to say, hehe, the gentleman he picked, let him learn it hard. I'm so witty...... Uncle Xu felt a pang in his heart.

"Huh?" Xiao Tian was confused for a while, he used to be a teacher who picked students, and he never thought that he could choose a scholar to be his husband at will. Xiao Tian instantly became proud, but immediately worried, in Xiao Tian's impression, the scholars are all pedantic images of white-bearded old men, and they are full of mouths, which is tireless. "That Uncle Xu, is there anyone younger? People are still young......"

"Oh. What the young master said also makes sense. There are only 3 people who are young, and the first one is Hu Qingtian, who is full of economy and erudition. The second one is Wang Bo, who is very good at reciting poetry, and wrote "Song of the Goose" at the age of 6 and is famous all over the world. The last one is Zhou Xian'er, this woman is the first talented woman in a hundred years of Daqi, this woman is excellent in calligraphy and painting, and was personally given by His Majesty as a scholar of the Royal Forest Garden. In this way, women are encouraged to study hard...... She is also the daughter of Zhou Anguo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites......"

"Uncle Xu, it's her." As soon as he heard that it was a female teacher, Lin Xiaotian's heart immediately moved. Hurriedly interrupted Uncle Xu.

"Haha, okay, Miss Zhou is indeed superior. The young master follows her and can learn to ask questions in college. It seems that the young master and I have come to one place. ”

At this time, Lin Xiaotian's mind was full of pictures of female teachers in stockings in the island country......

"I have to ask the master to repair a book with Miss Zhou, I believe that Miss Zhou will sell the face of the master. Etiquette is indispensable. "As the housekeeper of a large family, Uncle Xu is impeccable in terms of etiquette.

After discussing with Uncle Xu, Lin Xiaotian said goodbye to Uncle Xu. Looking at Lin Xiaotian's distant back, Uncle Xu's eyes flickered, "Perhaps, the young master's condition has improved, and I feel that the young master is no longer the stupid appearance he used to be, and this matter needs to be described to the master in detail." "Uncle Xu passed on the changes of the young master and the matter of inviting Zhou Xian'er to teach in the Lin Mansion to the master.

After returning to the room, Lin Xiaotian had palpitations. I feel that I am still impulsive, if I hadn't hurriedly resolved it just now, it would have aroused Xu Bo's suspicions, and it seems that I need to be more careful in the future. If people can see the clues, the consequences do not look at the assumptions. But Lin Xiaotian also understands that this kind of hiding is not a long-term solution, and it is necessary to find an appropriate time to let everyone understand that there is no problem with his IQ. The difficulty is that he can't just pull a person and say, "You know what? Actually, I'm not stupid. I'm normal, if you don't believe it, I'll prove it to you......" No matter what others think of these words, it's not a normal person to prove that you're not a fool.

In fact, Lin Xiaotian also understands that as long as everyone believes that I am Lin Xiaotian. It's not difficult, because even if Lin Xiaotian says it, no one will believe it. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaotian's heart began to settle down.

Thinking of Zhou Xian'er, Lin Xiaotian has imagined countless pictures of each other, but he has thought that this is the case
