Chapter 5: Tang San's apprenticeship
Time flies, and on this day, Old Man Jack came to Zhao Xuan's house again.
"Zhao Shi! Zhao Shi! Is Xiao Xuan up? The old man was in good spirits, with joy between his eyebrows, and when he came to Zhao Xuan's house, he saw Zhao Shi who was busy in the small courtyard and asked.
Zhao Shi in the courtyard put down the work in his hand and said continuously: "Get up, I've gotten up a long time ago." ”
"Xiao Xuan! Hurry out, the village chief is here. Mu Qin's anxious voice came from inside the house, and then two figures walked out of the house.
The leader was Zhao Xuan, I saw that he looked quite impatient, wearing a brand new clothes, and Mu Qin, who was following behind, was still helping him tidy up as he walked.
"Mom, it's neat enough." Zhao Xuan couldn't help but say, since he was called up by Mu Qin early this morning, he has been treated as a marionette puppet, and let Mu Qin dress up.
The mother of the child is worried, Zhao Xuan will go to Notting City to enroll in school today, Mu Qin babbled all morning, telling the matters that need attention.
Not to mention, Zhao Xuan looks quite flattering after dressing up. A small face is white and pure, tender as if it can pinch out water, fresh black broken hair, and a pair of black pupils are shiny, like a porcelain doll.
Old Jack's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he said again and again: "Not bad, not bad." ”
At this time, Zhao Shi on the side came over and stuffed a few golden soul coins into Zhao Xuan's hand.
"Son, save some money, your father is not a landowner."
Zhao Xuan was stunned, a warm current flowed in his heart, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "When I come out, let you become the landlord of the land...... And, of course, Mom. ”
Zhao Shi's eyes were a little red, and he nodded sneeringly, and a warm smile bloomed on Mu Qin's face: "Son, you must be careful when you go out alone." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Xuan nodded.
"Okay, okay, it's not a parting of life and death, we'll see you in a few months." That being said, the old man's eyes are also a little ruddy, maybe he can't stand this lovesick parting.
After saying goodbye to his parents, Old Man Jack took Zhao Xuan to Tang San's house, and after receiving Tang San, he hurriedly set off towards Notting City.
……
It was already noon when they arrived in Notting City, and a few people did not delay, Old Man Jack took the two of them to ask passers-by and went straight to the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
Notting College is located in the west of Notting City, although it is only a junior college, but it covers a large area and can be seen at a glance.
In the distance, they had already seen a tall arch, the arch was twenty meters wide and ten meters high, all of them were made of solid rock, and there were two iron gates underneath, black and swarthy, Tang San, who was proficient in forging, could see at a glance that it was made of fine fine iron.
Through the iron grate, you can see that the winding path inside, a large road leads to the inside, on both sides are tall plane trees, it is still summer, the canopy of the plane trees is still green, and the wide plane leaves are pleasant green, but once it is autumn, they will turn into golden red, the color of fire.
Old Jack took Tang San to the gate as soon as he walked to the gate, and was immediately stopped by the young man guarding the door, "What are you doing?" Is this a place where you countrymen can come? ”
Old Jack's clothes were already glamorous in the Holy Soul Village, but when he arrived in Notting City, he completely looked like a countryman, and the porter looked at him with a little disdain.
Old Jack hurriedly smiled and said, "This little brother, we are from the Holy Soul Village, and this child is a work-study student sent by our village this year. You see, what formalities do we need to go through? ”
The porter frowned, and said with some yin and yang weirdness: "Can the grass nest still produce a golden phoenix?" There are also people in a small village who have soul power? The college hasn't had a work-study student for many years. You're not going to be an impostor, are you? ”
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but be angry when he looked at the appearance of this porter, he was not a patient person himself, and when he saw that this porter was deliberately making things difficult, he was even more angry in his heart.
Although this porter is much taller than him, he is not afraid, and he can kill this dragon trap with one punch with his natural power.
Seeing Zhao Xuan's movements beside him, Tang San couldn't help but be startled, and quickly withdrew the sleeve arrow that had been prepared, pulling Zhao Xuan, who had already taken a step.
This pull but didn't want to almost stumble, Tang San was shocked, and his heart was even more depressed, Xiao Xuan's strength was really getting bigger and bigger.
Besides, the porter, Zhao Xuan who suddenly rushed out was taken aback, and when he saw Zhao Xuan being pulled by Tang San, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry when he thought that he was actually frightened by a child.
He pointed at Zhao Xuan and scolded angrily: "Stinky boy, what do you want to do!" ”
Old Jack hadn't come back to his senses for a while, so he almost got into a fight.
Seeing that the concierge was becoming more and more presumptuous, Tang San and Zhao Xuan both held back a lot of strength in their hearts, and even Tang San's strength to pull Zhao Xuan was a little smaller.
At this moment, a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly remembered: "Okay, stop it." ”
The porter was stunned for a moment, and then, the anger on his face suddenly turned into flattery, and the change was unimaginable, and he nodded to the person who came: "Master, you are back." ”
Tang San and Zhao Xuan turned their heads to look, only to see a man of medium stature and a little thin, who didn't know when he had come to them. It seems that this person is about forty or fifty years old, with short black hair parted from three or seven, his appearance is very ordinary, his hands are behind his back, but he has a special temperament on his body, and his eyes are open and closed with a little laziness and decadence.
The 'master' just glanced at the porter, ignored him, and said to Old Jack, "Old sir, can you show me the proof of the Martial Spirit Palace?" ”
"Huh? Oh, good, good. Old man Jack, who had been disconnected for a long time, finally went online again, and he took out the Wuhun Hall certificate in his arms and gave it to the "master", and then wiped his non-existent sweat.
Looking back, the scene just now really frightened him, not that he was afraid of a conflict with the porter, after all, he was standing on his side, the old man was just afraid that Tang San and Zhao Xuan would be harmed, this is the future of the village.
The master took the martial soul certificate from Old Man Jack, and when he saw the two certificates clearly, his originally indifferent expression suddenly changed, and he became extremely serious, which also revealed a little confusion.
"Blue Silver Grass...... Innate soul power...... The mobile phone is also full of innate soul power, what kind of martial soul is this. "The master has devoted his life to the study of martial souls, and can be said to be the first person in the theoretical world, and there are very few martial souls he has never seen, but this "mobile phone" has never heard of at all.
"It's true, sir, I apologize to you on behalf of the academy for what happened just now. Leave this child to me. After reading the two proofs repeatedly, the master said to Old Man Jack.
A figure who was at least a soul master apologized to himself, and Old Jack's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he hurriedly shook his hands and said, "No need to apologize, no need to apologize." We're not good either. Master, then this kid is in trouble with you. Xiao San, Xiao Xuan, you follow the master in, but you must be obedient. ”
Jack said a few more words to the two of them before leaving.
The master glanced at the porter lightly, "This is the first and last time, if you commit another offense, you don't need to stay." His voice was hoarse and calm, but there was an irrefutable feeling.
Cold sweat broke out behind the porter, and he hurriedly flashed to the side, in fact, he was also frightened, he didn't expect that these two children were really work-study students this year.
Although they are only work-study students, this is not something he can offend, no one will know what they will be like in the future, if the academy knows that he will be punished.
The master looked down at Tang San and Zhao Xuan, a smile squeezed out of his face, the muscles on his face seemed to be a little stiff, and the way he laughed was a little flattering.
"Thank you, teacher." The three of them walked into the academy, different from Zhao Xuan, who had no heart and lungs, Tang San said to the master.
"Teacher? I'm not a teacher at the academy. The master glanced down at Tang San and said lightly.
"Not a teacher? Didn't you just say that you represent the Academy? ”
The master shook his head, he had always been impatient, but he was extremely tolerant today, and once again squeezed out a trace of that ugly smile, "Who said that the teachers of the academy must represent the academy?" ”
Tang San suddenly said, "I understand, then you must be the principal of the academy, or the leader." ”
The master laughed and said, "You are a six-year-old child, and you are very smart. Still, you're wrong. ”
Tang San said suspiciously, "Then who are you?" ”
The master said, "I'm just a guest here to eat and drink. You, like everyone else, call me Master. That's what everyone calls me. I've even forgotten my name. The certificate of the Martial Spirit Hall says that your name is Tang San, Tang San, you have to understand that the meaning of the master and the teacher is very different, don't call it wrong in the future. Unless ......"
Saying this, he listened to his words, but his eyes flashed with a burning light, "Unless you really want me to be your teacher." ”
"Do you want to teach me how to cultivate martial spirits?" Tang San asked.
The master stopped and stood still facing Tang San, "Then would you like to?" ”
Tang San also naturally stopped, looking up at the master in front of him, at this time, he looked closely, and from bottom to top, he found that the master's mouth was a bit big, and his lips were also very thick. He didn't speak, neither said yes nor said no.
The master looked at Tang San's stunned eyes, and that stiff smile reappeared, "Okay, you are indeed a smart child. ”
Not opening your mouth has two meanings, one is not to refuse in a hurry, so as not to offend the master. The second is to ask the master with actions, why should I worship you as a teacher?
Like Old Jack, the master raised his hand and rubbed it on Tang San's head, "Talented, and so smart, it seems that I will also be persistent." Anyway, you are also the third twin martial soul in the past hundred years. ”
Listening to the master's words, Tang San was taken aback, watching the master's gaze suddenly change, his left wrist had been quietly raised, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
The old god of the master looked at him and smiled: "Aren't you very fast, why did I know that you are a twin martial spirit?" As he spoke, he shook the certificate that Old Jack had given him in his hand, "It's because of this certificate." Maybe other people can't see the flaws in it, but if I can't see it, then I don't deserve the word master. ”
"I have investigated six hundred and forty-seven people whose martial souls are Blue Silver Grass, and among them, there are sixteen who have soul power, and the probability is less than three percent. And even among the sixteen people who have soul power, none of them can exceed the first level of soul power, but you are the tenth level of innate soul power. According to one of the ten core competitiveness of the martial soul that I have studied, the size of the innate soul power is directly proportional to the quality of the martial soul. Blue Silver Grass obviously can't be satisfied, so, I'm sure that you should have another martial soul, and a very powerful martial soul. ”
Tang San's eyes gradually calmed down, and he argued, "There are exceptions to everything, why can't I be a special case?" ”
The master nodded seriously and said, "That's right, there are exceptions to everything, but your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, so you are obviously not that exception." In the past hundred years, although there have only been two twin martial souls, there have been nineteen people who are born with full soul power, and I have carefully studied the martial souls of each of them, all of them are powerful existences, and the youngest one has now reached the level of a great soul master. Except for the fourteen powerful martial spirits inherited from the family lineage, there are five exceptions. ”
The more the two chatted, the more energetic they became, and in the end, somehow, Tang San actually knelt down on his knees and worshiped the master as his teacher.
Zhao Xuan on the side was dumbfounded, seeing that the two of them hit it off at first sight, he couldn't help but feel depressed when he couldn't care about him at all, how could there always be a feeling that he was superfluous.
However, Zhao Xuan was inexplicably relieved to see Tang San revealing his twin martial souls, it turned out that not only did he have two martial souls, but Xiao San actually had them, which made him not worry that he was an outlier, and he would be sliced and studied after being discovered.
Although, in a way, he is indeed an outlier.
Seeing Tang San and the master chattering endlessly, and hating each other, Zhao Xuan was inexplicably a little surprised.
"I also have two martial spirits." He whispered.
Although his voice was very small, the master with sensitive ears instantly caught it, and he quickly turned his head to look at Zhao Xuan, and said in surprise: "You also have two martial spirits?!" ”
Tang San also looked at Zhao Xuan with some surprise, didn't the master say that these twin martial souls were rare? Why does Xiaoxuan also have it?
Besides, the master, he has been stunned by this gift package, is one not enough to give him a second one? He was full of joy and asked Zhao Xuan with some trembling, "Can you show me?" ”
Zhao Xuan thought for a moment and nodded, firstly, the master was already the teacher of the junior, and secondly, from the discussion just now, Zhao Xuan had already seen that the master was just a fanatical researcher.
In fact, in his previous life, he had similar things to the master, and he had the same enthusiasm when he studied hacking technology, but now, ahem......
Zhao Xuan summoned the mobile phone with one hand and the computer with the other, and the master's eyes changed instantly, and he became extremely serious.
He looked at these two martial spirits, and his heart was excited: "Sure enough, they are two new martial souls that have never appeared before!" ”
He hurriedly poked out a notebook from his bosom, took notes, looked up for a while, and wrote hard.
It took him a long time before he put down the note in his hand, and a fine sweat appeared on his forehead due to excitement.
After putting down the note, the master suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Zhao Xuan with fiery eyes: "Zhao Xuan, are you willing to ......?"
Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, he seemed to know what the master wanted to say.
"Don't!" He refused.
The words that the master had not yet said were stiffly stuffed back by Zhao Xuan, and his eyes were a little resentful, and he looked straight at Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan couldn't stand it a little, if a beautiful woman did this, he could gladly accept it, but the master was just an old man.
So he hurriedly said: "Master, I'm very lazy, I don't want to learn theory, it's enough for you to have a junior, he's diligent, he can train him as much as you want, and if you want to study my martial soul in the future, just call me, I will be on call." ”
The master opened his mouth, then closed it again. He thought about it, it was indeed enough to have a disciple of Tang San, from the conversation just now, he had already seen that Tang San was very smart, sensitive and studious, and he was also very satisfied with this disciple.
So, the master nodded: "Okay." ”
Tang San on the side was full of black lines, no matter how pure he was, he couldn't help but think crookedly when he thought of the word training.
