Chapter 16: Spiritual Teachers
"Accompanied by beautiful women, Yang Ming, your kid is really moisturizing. Before the person arrived, the characteristic old voice floated into the medicine field.
"Elder Weng, I'm just helping Cai Yin tidy up the medicine field. Yang Ming waved his hand casually, but the corners of Weng Lao's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, today's Weng Lao looked very energetic, and his hair was combed meticulously.
"Grandpa Weng, let's go to the back room and talk, I'll make tea for you. Cai Yin knew that Weng Lao naturally had something to talk to Yang Ming when he came here, so he also went to make tea very cooperatively.
After thanking Caiyin, the old and the young walked into the back room and sat down.
"Elder Weng, there must be a good thing coming over today. Seeing that Weng Lao's face was full of red light, Yang Ming guessed a little bit, and asked straight to the point.
"Hahaha, that's right, I'm here today to tell you about the meritocracy exam in two months. Looking at Yang Ming, with a vigorous cheek, a kind of pride and relief appeared on Weng Lao's face, just like looking at his grandson, "Since the establishment of our Xiacai Academy, in the past seven years, no student has been included in the excellent school, but this year is different, you Yang Ming, and Lin Dong, I believe that you will be able to pass this excellent school exam." ”
A few days ago, Yang Ming miraculously defeated the Shangcai Academy in such an unfavorable situation, which greatly encouraged Weng Lao's confidence, and he believed that in the excellent school exam two months later, Yang Ming would definitely be able to bring new miracles to the Xiacai Academy.
"Well, don't worry, now that my injuries are all healed, I can continue to cultivate tomorrow. Yang Ming waved his right arm, and the muscles on his forearm were faintly visible through his sleeves.
"Haha, you and Lin Dong are both impatient, Lin Dong is also cultivating day and night now, but you don't have to be too anxious, according to the requirements of the academy, after five days, the academy will specially arrange a cultivation tutor for you. ”
"Cultivator, what is that?" the young man asked curiously.
"You should also know that the Excellence Exam is not as simple as the Lift Assessment, personal combat power, resourcefulness, judgment, etc., are all to be assessed by Excellence. Although you and Lin Dong have outstanding combat power, after all, they have too little actual combat experience and are still inexperienced, so the academy will arrange relevant mentors for you to take you out for cultivation and experience. According to the usual practice, most of the teachers in charge of cultivation are selected from the army or palace guards. Weng Lao explained with a smile.
"Is that a chance to enter the army?" Hearing the word army, Yang Ming suddenly looked excited.
Jiang Guo system, the generals, can be through military merits, get the official title, someone once said, once into the army, is the starting point of wealth.
"Hahaha, if you can be favored by those generals and be responsible for guiding you, they will naturally be able to bring you into the army. ”
"Great!"
Hearing this, Yang Ming was also happy in his heart, he was able to join the army to practice, and he was excited when he thought about it.
At this time, Cai Yin came over with tea, looking at the excited young man, Cai Yin's eyes were also bent into a shallow crescent, and she chuckled playfully. Cai Yin naturally didn't understand the boy's desire for the army, she was just infected by the burning passion of the teenager.
The three of them chatted while drinking tea, and spent a few hours leisurely, until the night was approaching, and Weng Lao did not leave.
After having dinner with Cai Yin and chatting a few more words, Yang Ming returned to his room, originally wanting to rest in peace and prepare to start practicing tomorrow, but after being told about the cultivation, how could Yang Ming sleep peacefully.
"Young Master can't sleep?" Lying on the bed, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the depths of Yang Ming's mind, and then, Zu Ze's light figure flowed out of Yang Ming's body like a white mist, floating into the air.
Nodding, the corners of Yang Ming's mouth couldn't help but say excitedly: "Of course, but any man, who doesn't aspire to become a general, Jin Ge Iron Horse, galloping on the battlefield." ”
"It's good to be able to join the army to practice, but what I care more about is the ability of the spiritual teacher. His tone turned slightly, and Zu Ze's face became much more serious, "I want to take advantage of this practice to find an excellent master for the young master." ”
"Master?" Hearing this, Yang Ming's face was shocked. "Why do you want to find me a master, don't you teach me?"
Zu Ze smiled slightly, then leaned over and said, "I'm just a servant serving you, although I know about cultivation, it's just on paper. Before, I simply handed over the elephant technique that originally belonged to you to you, and I was not considered a master. The master not only teaches the art of elephants, but also teaches the methods of cultivation and the skills of fighting. In the past, it was taught directly from within the family, the father taught the son, and the son taught the grandchild, but now the family is gone, so I have to find a good teacher for you. ”
Nodding thoughtfully, Yang Ming once again had new thoughts about the upcoming cultivation, and his blood couldn't help but heat up.
......
Five days later, early in the morning, the small forest under the mountain
The first day is getting slightly hotter, and through the heavy foliage, small frecks of light are sprinkled on the ground, and the stars are like stars.
In the woods, two galloping figures, like cheetahs, staggered figures, only to see a strong light, the clash of light blades and fists and feet, driving the surrounding air to fluctuate violently, creating waves like waves, so that the tender grass on the ground also bent over.
The backward figure suddenly stopped, Yang Ming's right foot stepped on the ground suddenly, and immediately stabilized his body, raised his head, and looked at Lin Dong, who had barely stopped after retreating dozens of steps, Yang Ming's face also showed a little admiration.
But Lin Dong didn't admit defeat, his right fist slowly pushed forward, and suddenly the pale Wu Yao on his right arm became more intense, and the soles of his feet slammed on the ground, his body was like a strong wind, and the earth suddenly flew.
Looking at Lin Dong, who was attacking again, the corners of Yang Ming's mouth were lightly raised, and the fighting spirit in his heart was strong, and being competitive was originally the most primitive animal nature of human beings, and at this time, it was even more vividly manifested in the two teenagers.
The soles of his feet stepped on the dirt ground fiercely, Yang Ming raised his sword in his right hand, braked quietly, and looked at Lin Dong who was approaching, and in his black eyes, a sharp light flashed, as if it was a vulture that would sweep down the air at any time.
"Drink. ”
Lin Dong's galloping figure suddenly stopped at a distance of one meter from Yang Ming, his right foot supported the ground, his body rotated suddenly with the help of high-speed afterburner, and his left leg crossed a falling-like arc in the air, like a rolling stone falling to the ground, and smashed it towards Yang Ming.
His eyes moved slightly, but Yang Ming took the initiative to retreat, and his body took the initiative to retreat, avoiding the rapid attack of Lin Dong's left leg, and at the same time, his right hand pushed forward, and on top of the broken sword, Wu Yao's light suddenly burst out, and in an instant, the three-foot light blade pierced the air, stabbing out like lightning.
The light blade hit the shirt on Lin Dong's chest, if he advanced even one millimeter, the light blade would pierce the hospital uniform, between extreme movement and extreme quiet, almost perfect transformation, so that Lin Dong couldn't help but admire from his heart, and shook his head helplessly, Lin Dong withdrew his fists and feet, and sighed sincerely,
"I lost. ”
"Brother Lin Dong's fists and feet are very strong, I just got lucky to win at speed, if I fight hard with Brother Lin Dong, I'm afraid I will break my muscles and bones." ”
Hearing Yang Ming's concession, Lin Dong shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile: "What's the matter, it should be said that you are merciful under the sword." ”
Lin Dong's words were not polite words, but sincere admiration, just a few days without seeing, Lin Dong felt that Yang Ming's strength had made great progress again, just like a rushing river, every day, every hour, was advancing at a speed that ordinary people could not match. This kind of speed can really only be described by the word genius.
Although Lin Dong was also cultivating hard day and night, the more he cultivated, the more Lin Dong discovered such a fact. Hard work is a necessary condition for cultivation, but it is not sufficient, many people practice hard all their lives, and they can become strong, but they have never been able to reach the god-like realm, because they lack one thing, which is talent. It is true that cultivation and hard work account for 99 percent, and talent is only one percent, but it is this one percent that is the most deadly. And Yang Ming just has this one percent of talent, and the effort that is not lost to anyone. Although they didn't get along for a long time, for some reason, Lin Dong silently admitted a fact in his heart, and was convinced that Yang Ming would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.
"It's really good, when I competed with the Shangcai Academy before, Brother Lin Dong was so seriously injured, I'm still worried about you. Now it seems that my worries are unfounded. After the discussion, the boy's words shifted to other aspects.
"Hahaha, this little injury can't bother me, in fact, I can recover so quickly, mainly because of my mental image......" Lin Dong patted his chest, and there was a bit of youthful pride in his tone. Lin Dong never told others about his mental image, because when he was admitted to the hospital, he was really ridiculed because of his mental image, which became a hurdle in Lin Dong's heart.
Just as Lin Dong was about to tell the truth, a loud call from a hammer came from not far away
"Yang Ming, Brother Lin Dong, Elder Weng told you to rush to the martial arts training ground now, saying that the cultivation instructor invited by the academy is here. ”
Hearing this, the two teenagers' eyes suddenly lit up, and they immediately wiped a handful of sweat stains on their faces like running water, and straightened their hospital clothes, just like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws, cautious.
Looking at the two of them, Hammer couldn't help licking his mouth, and his face also showed envy and admiration, "I heard that the cultivation instructors invited by the academy are all generals in the army, I really envy you for being able to enter the army to practice." I don't know when I'll have this luck. ”
"As long as you usually brush your mouth less and do more practical things in cultivation, I guarantee that you can be like us next year. Yang Ming said with a chuckle while arranging his unkempt hair, "However, you can't be too happy, after all, you have to go through the selection of the mentor." ”
"It must be no problem, Yang Ming, you are the strongest among the ordinary students of our academy, I guess those mentors will definitely rush to ask for you." Lin Dong said sincerely, with a blessed smile on his face, without the slightest pretentiousness.
"Brother Lin Dong, you're not bad, we will definitely be selected. Perhaps happy in his heart, Yang Ming couldn't help but tilt his head and joke.
"Of course, you have defeated the heroes of the Shangcai Academy, and when the two of you join the army and become generals in the future, don't forget my hammer. ”
"A hammer like yours will never forget. ”
After saying this joke, the two teenagers couldn't wait to rush to the direction of the martial arts training ground, and only a goodbye came back from the wind.
......
In the martial arts training ground, there are many people gathered here at this time, Dean Shen Mo, the stewards of the two academies, Weng Lao and Cai Man, and then there are Shen Mo's right hand, four generals in full armor, even if it is hot, the armor is faintly shining with cold light, so that the people around can't help but be in awe.
In the wide martial arts training ground, these four generals are particularly conspicuous, with shining armor and majestic momentum, which almost attracts all the attention.
"Oh, this time, the cultivation instructors are all super strong masters, there are three of them in the army, and one is the head of the palace guards......" A student of the Shangcai Academy spoke incoherently excitedly.
The other students also nodded frequently, and their excitement was self-evident.
"Oh, that's the Red Horse General. Everyone's eyes swept over the four cultivation guides in turn, and finally they all landed on the person next to Shen Mo's right side, it was a cold man wearing red armor, his face was resolute, and his red armor was like a blazing flame, slowly burning, and the amazing fluctuations of Wu Yao loomed.
Jiang Guo has lived in the extreme east for more than 900 years, and the army construction has also been quite successful, among which the most capable army is the Red Horse Army, every soldier of the Red Horse Army has been selected by thousands of people, and the training on weekdays is also very strict. They are the most outstanding powerhouses of Jiang Guo, the pillars of Zhenguo, and the commander of the 30,000 Red Horse Army is Liu Qianyu's father, General Jiang Guo, Liu Chen.
"I really didn't expect that the academy would even invite the generals of the Red Horse Army, if I can worship the general of the Red Horse Army as a cultivation mentor this time, it will not be difficult to join the Red Horse Army in the future. One of the students fantasized and licked his lips.
Hearing this, Yan Zhendong on the side laughed proudly, "My father and General Liu have always been good friends, as early as a few days ago, my father had already taken care of me, this time Young Master Ben will definitely be selected by the Red Horse Army." ”
"It's really worthy of Young Master Yan. Several people around cast envious glances, and frequently stammered, hoping to take advantage of Yan Zhendong's relationship so that he could also climb the thigh of the Red Horse Army.
"I hope that Young Master Yan will say a few more kind words for the little brother, and the future of the little brother depends on Young Master Yan. Han Mingshan also stepped forward to show his goodwill.
"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, everyone is a companion of the Shangcai Academy, so naturally they will take care of it more. In this flattery, Yan Zhendong became even more proud, and suddenly, his eyes turned, and on the path at the end of the martial arts training ground in the distance, two young figures were hurrying over.
Squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the happy smiles on the faces of the two young men in the distance, Yan Zhendong and Han Mingshan, there was a touch of cold malice on their faces,
"Yang Ming, Lin Dong, these two poor people who don't know the height of the sky, they don't know yet, there will be no one among the generals who come this time to guide their cultivation, today, Young Master Ben has to take a good look at how these two civilians are making a fool of themselves. Yan Zhendong seemed to know something earlier, and secretly sneered proudly.
