033 Good practice in the library
After a long night and no intention of sleeping, the four of them sat around and chatted about their experiences in recent years.
Hou Wen played with the gift given to him by Liuhuo in his hand, and said vigorously, "I knew that Uncle Shi was so arrogant, what other Tianshan Island would I take you to?"
"Don't say that, without you, I wouldn't have been able to find that amethyst nucleus, and I wouldn't have been able to defeat Xiahou Blade..."
Referring to the amethyst nucleus, Liu Lao suddenly became interested, looked for the flowing fire to pass the crystal nucleus, and looked at it carefully.
"This thing is a little weird, as if the water vitality in it is not one?"
"And the vitality inside is very rich, not like such a small crystal nucleus can have?"
Seeing the master's serious expression, Liuhuo hurriedly asked.
"Will this thing still work? Isn't there any danger?"
Liu Lao slowly shook his head, "Take it, after all, this is the first magic weapon in your life, keep it as a souvenir."
Hou Tianhang watched the flowing fire take the crystal nucleus into his arms, and said to Liu Lao.
"Senior brother, your proposal today has offended many people. Several of us have made similar suggestions before, but none of them have been able to implement them..."
"I haven't been in the inner gate for decades, how did you manage like this..."
"The crisis of the Creation Gate was not formed in a day, and the vitality has become thinner and thinner over the past few hundred years. In the past, it was easy to find awakened mortals, but now it takes decades to find them..."
"Do you know what the Inner Gate has issued the most missions in the past few decades? not treasure hunting, not hunting the dark ones. The most important thing is to explore the good seedlings of the people..."
"It's pitiful to say, now the job of raising a spirit dog in the inner door is the most sought-after, and no one can raise it..."
Hou Tianhang's topic was very heavy, and Liu Lao was silent and drank three glasses of wine in a row.
"No matter how difficult it is, it's not an excuse. The current generation is indeed too unreasonable, more and more secularized, there are few people who sincerely pursue cultivation, but there are more and more enjoyment types, and in the long run, the door of creation will be extinct sooner or later..."
Hou Wen and Liuhuo saw that the elders had a heavy topic, so they hurriedly found an opportunity to leave the table quietly, and walked to the creek to chat by themselves.
"I heard someone say just now that you were carried in with a pale face, and I thought you couldn't do it?
"Actually, I won't tell you that the master asked me to pretend to be sick..."
"How did the injury on your back heal so quickly, Yun Shaoyue's sword is ruthless enough, shouldn't it recover so quickly?"
Seeing Hou Wen's doubts, Liuhuo quickly told him the truth.
"Haha, I see, this cloud covers the moon and suffers, and I let you touch it in vain..."
As soon as Liuhuo heard Hou Wen's words, he hurriedly asked.
"What the hell did I do when I was unconscious? Why did everyone look weird when they mentioned this paragraph..."
"Haha, you don't know? I always thought you did it on purpose..."
Hou Wen, while laughing, told him the plot of the Flowing Fire casting the claw hand of the milk dragon.
"You don't know how hot you are right now. You are simply an idol among the young awakened, and the 10,000-year-old ice beauty makes you touch your breasts in public. Haha..."
Liuhuo never expected that he would do such a thing, and the resentment he had against Yun Shayue disappeared.
"How could this be the case... How could this be the case..."
Hou Wen saw that he blamed himself vigorously, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"It's okay, everyone knows you didn't do it by accident. You don't care what others say about you, no one asks mediocre people, everyone talks about you and it means that you have the ability..."
"By the way, after I pass out, what will happen to Baihua?"
"What else can it be, the inner disciples didn't participate, and there was only a group of outside disciples fighting. I'm too lazy to watch it, but I've avoided this Hundred Flowers Meeting, so I don't have to be reprimanded by my father now..."
"The master said that I should go to class, take the lessons in the library. What's that? Is it hard?"
"Master Tongxuan's class, talk about astronomy and geography, historical biography, cultivation experience, treasure materials, etc., everyone doesn't like to go, it's too restrictive, and you can't learn it at home..."
"It's not just about learning, it's important to have tasks? all kinds of strange tasks for you to complete, and the rewards are not very good, so everyone rejects them..."
"What's more, many missions are dangerous, who is willing to let their children go..."
Listening to Hou Wen's explanation, Liuhuo suddenly felt a little weird. It turns out that there is no difference between the creation and the world, the same love and hate, the same greed and selfish desires.
Slowly, the long night slowly passed away in the conversation between the two.
In the following days, Hou Wen and Liuhuo played happily. The crystal nucleus ring has been made, and it is very expensive to wear in the hands of the flowing fire.
All kinds of entertainment activities in Tiandu City are indispensable to these two brothers, and even the Qinglou has been visited several times. However, Liuhuo obviously can't adapt to the environment there, it's just drinking and listening to music.
Not only that, but even Liuhuo's daily life has changed.
The maids sent by the Hou family were all selected and carefully trained, and they scratched their ears and cheeks while serving the master and apprentice.
yes, eat for you, get up and change your clothes, there are people guarding you when you sleep, she runs over to rub her back when she takes a bath, and she has to stay outside even when she goes to the toilet.
This made the master and apprentice who were used to it very uncomfortable. But you can't blow them away yet, as soon as you say let them go, a group of girls are crying there, saying that the Hou family doesn't want them anymore, and they will be homeless when they leave here.
In the end, Liu Lao couldn't bear it anymore, so he briefly explained to Liuhuo and went down the mountain to play.
From this day on, Liuhuo became the only male owner of this mansion.
This morning, the maid Xiaoyue woke up the fire early.
"Young Master, today is when you go to the library for class, and Young Master Hou Wen will be here in a while, so you better freshen up early..."
Xiaoyue is the oldest among the maids, and Liuhuo saw that she was a little older, so he let her be a housekeeper. The family's money and things are all in her hands, anyway, the master left a lot of money, enough to spark for decades.
Just as Liuhuo was eating breakfast, Hou Wen hurriedly came over, and as soon as he entered the house, he picked up a bowl of porridge and drank it.
"Oh, I got up late today, and I haven't even eaten, so you should hurry up. Chaoyang Peak is not close to here, Master Tongxuan does not let his disciples ride horses, so he can only walk up the mountain..."
After a simple meal, the two walked up the mountain.
The library is located halfway up the Chaoyang Peak. On a lonely cliff platform on the mountainside, there is a small academy.
There are no roads here. At the foot of the mountain, the disciples have to climb the mountain on their own, but with the blessing of the Wind Walking Technique, everything is not a problem.
When Liuhuo walked into the academy, there were already many inner disciples gathered here.
Jade Qilin and Li Feiyang are considered to be the elders here, and they all nodded their heads when they saw the flowing fire coming. But the clouds around him are different, staring at the flowing fire with cold eyes, making the flowing fire extremely embarrassing.
Seeing this, Hou Wen felt that he dragged the flowing fire away, and said in a low voice.
"It seems that this enmity between the two of you is difficult to resolve, but she doesn't dare to do anything to you directly, be careful not to provoke her..."
As he spoke, a big man like a black iron tower walked towards the flowing fire.
"Is it Senior Brother Liuhuo in front? I'm Shi Meng, I've heard about your deeds, dare to take out a small dragon from the fire dragon with your bare hands, you are ruthless enough, you have a temper with me..."
Hou Wen saw that Shi Meng was coming, and hurriedly said hello.
"Brother Meng is back, how did you get this battle?"
"Hehe, there's nothing to say, so I took out two orc tribes, and then asked my dad to call back to class..."
It turned out that this was Shi Meng, the son of Elder Shi Zhongxing.
To say that this father and son are absolutely ruthless characters. Elder Shi led the only army in the Creation Sect, the 'Hunter', to kill all kinds of dark forces on the Zhongzhou Continent all day long, not only the dark ones were afraid of him, but even the orc tribes in the vast mountains were in awe of this father and son.
Shi Meng's education since he was a child was different from ordinary people, and he was taken by his father to the hunters as soon as he woke up, and he ran with him. It can be said that Shi Meng is the only awakened person who has entered the realm of small mastery by fighting.
If you want to say who is experienced in combat, it has to be him.
Liuhuo and Shi Meng didn't say a few words, a low bell rang, and Master Tongxuan came to everyone.
"Today, the inner disciples reopened, and all the inner disciples who had just arrived went to wait for me in the Jiazi room. The rest of the outer disciples, continue yesterday's lesson..."
After speaking, Master Tongxuan turned around and entered the house.
Liuhuo hurriedly walked to the Jiazi room with Hou Wen, quickly found the desk with his name on it, and sat down.
After a while, Master Tongxuan also entered the house.
"The reopening of classes for your inner disciples is a collective decision of the entire Council of Elders. You are all inner disciples, you are the best of the small masters, and I will not teach you the basic knowledge here, but only the practical skills and the rules of the Creation Gate..."
"I think your parents and teachers have already told you about the current crisis in the Creation Gate. You are the hope of the Builders, and you have a great responsibility. I can tell you clearly that in three months, you will all have to send out a mission, and the specific task will be decided by lottery at that time..."
"This mission arrangement will not be so easy, there will be a lot of front-line tasks in it, get ready..."
"Today I will mainly talk about the characteristics and cracking skills of wood-based spells, you listen carefully..."
......
In this way, Liuhuo's learning career in the inner gate of creation began.
This is the first time that the master has received systematic spiritual training, and many of the places that the master does not explain in detail and some negligence on weekdays have been answered here.
In the library, Liuhuo became the most diligent disciple.
Every morning, Liuhuo is the first disciple to climb to the top of the mountain, meditating against the rising sun.
In every class, Liuhuo always takes the trouble to ask all kinds of questions, no matter how naïve the questions are.
In the library cave behind the study, Liuhuo carefully read the practice notes of his predecessors.
Under the faint light, the flowing fire carefully identified all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures.
Every day, the fire comes the earliest, and the one who leaves is the latest. Flowing Fire's diligence made Master Tongxuan very pleased, but it also made Hou Wen very distressed, because his father had already reprimanded him several times for Flowing Fire's diligence.
Time passed slowly, and for more than a month, Liuhuo slowly became familiar with Zhongzhou Mountain, and gradually understood the Creation Gate.
In the evening of this day, Liuhuo left the study and walked on the mountain road home.
Just as Flowing Fire was recalling today's lesson, he suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart, and when he looked up and took a closer look.
A ball of fire burst out of the woods beside him and struck at him.
