When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into Ling Meng's room, he also woke up, I don't know if he was too tired from practicing last night, he rarely slept well, and he didn't have nightmares.

After tidying up the quilt, Ling Meng first went to the first floor to choose a gargle, and then went to the third floor to meditate, after a short period of meditation, Xia Ye would come and call him to have breakfast, this was the beginning of Ling Meng's day.

"It's not early, we're leaving. After eating the bread and potato soup, Zhencheng said to Ling Meng, who had only eaten a little.

"Yes. Receiving the signal to leave, Ling Meng stood up and followed behind Zhencheng.

Pulling open the door, Earthquake City turned to Summer Night, who was standing by and watching them, and said, "You can take a vacation when you're done with what you're doing." ”

"Walk slowly. He bowed slightly to them as they left. After that, after cleaning up, she can go to visit her aunt and sister who she hasn't seen for a long time.

Ling Meng had never been out at this point in time, the snow castle in the morning light had a sense of sacredness, and the busy waiters walking through the quiet, graceful and winding paths brought life and vitality to it, and in this vigorous morning, Ling Meng took another important step towards his life's journey......

The academy is located at the south gate of the Snow Mansion, next to the address of the Xuefu City Guard, and opposite is a horse farm.

As one of the few teaching institutions in Baiyucheng, Xuefu School teaches a lot of things, such as physical skills, horsemanship, archery, swordsmanship, weapon maintenance, weapon forging, and wild survival.

Every February, students are recruited, and the tuition fee is not expensive, so many people come to apply every year. There are four academic years in total, which are divided into general and higher education, with two ordinary years and two advanced years.

The number of ordinary two-semester students is very large, and it is used to screen for really good talents, and the number of higher subjects is very small, and the tuition is completely free, and most of the students who graduate with excellent grades have a bright future.

It took half an hour to walk from the snow castle to the academy with Zhencheng, Ling Meng didn't expect that it didn't look too far from the castle, but it took a lot of time to walk.

"You don't seem to like using your abilities very much. "Because I taught Ling Meng to use spiritual power to strengthen his body, if he used this little distance, he wouldn't feel hard or sweat.

"I don't want to use it if it's not necessary, Uncle Wang said, physical exercise is also very important. ”

"Physical exercise is important, but it's also important to use it on a daily basis, so do you get familiar with it quickly. ”

"Yes. ”

"But you just don't push yourself. "Zhencheng is used to this somewhat stubborn child," he said. ”

Zhencheng took out something from his pocket, and after Ling Meng caught it with both hands, he found that it was a lifelike snow gladiolus flower, which was used as a carved badge.

"This is a pass for the Snow Mansion, show it when you enter and exit the gate and the castle, and the guards will let you go. Don't lose it, it's a bit of a hassle to get another one for this little thing. ”

"Yes. Ling Meng carefully put it away.

Since you are coming from the castle, there is a special entrance without going to the main entrance.

Following Zhencheng through the door guarded by several people, Ling Meng noticed their slightly awe-inspiring expressions, obviously Zhencheng's popularity was also very high. You must work harder to study, this is Ling Meng's little idea.

Stepping on the neat and quiet path, the atmosphere in the school is more majestic than the outside, especially everything is very symmetrical, the neat trees, the neat and white school building, and the straight stone paths give everything a sense of order, which is not the same as the casual and relaxed atmosphere outside the college.

After turning two corners along the stone path, Ling Meng was taken by Zhencheng to a remote forest hut, which was still a small cabin with a sense of age, and the original solemn atmosphere was immediately destroyed by this silent hut, and the change in atmosphere made Ling Meng stunned for a moment.

And Zhencheng just stepped forward and knocked on the door, he didn't push the door directly this time, it seems that he is also a noble person.

"Come in. I heard a knock on the door, and an older voice came from the room.

Hearing the reply from the room, with the sound of squeaking, Zhencheng pushed open the wooden door.

"Excuse me, Mr. Qianmo. ”

Ling Meng, who followed in, found that the room was more aged, with old tables and chairs, old bookshelves, old books, and an old man with hair of half a hundred years old, I saw him lying in a rocking chair and shaking gently, in addition to this, he also held a book in his left hand in front of his face, and his right hand held a pot of wine hanging outside the armrest, and his body was bathed in the sunlight that shone through the leaves and then through the window, and a picture of great artistic conception appeared in front of Ling Meng's eyes.

Ling Meng, who was observing the old man, was a little distracted, so much so that he didn't even notice that the old man was observing him through the book.

"Sir is still so Yaxing. Even Zhencheng was infected by his temperament.

The old gentleman did not seem to hear him, and did not pay attention to him, but closed the book in his left hand.

This action made Ling Meng, who had been paying attention to him, react, and at the moment when he met the old man's eyes, suddenly the original feelings of harmony and tranquility were gone, and he turned as if he was being targeted by a falcon, and his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Ling Meng, which made him unconsciously retreat a little.

"Is that him? Although he seemed to ask, he said in an affirmative tone.

"Yes, how it feels. ”

"So-so. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ling Meng, who came back to his senses, found that the old man had already picked up the book from scratch, as if he hadn't glared at him just now.

"yes, then I think you'd be surprised. ”

"Don't blow it, I haven't seen anything old man, and when the time comes, you will be hit in the face if you have average qualifications. As he spoke, he took the wine to his nose and sniffed it but didn't drink it, "For the sake of the good wine you have contributed over the years, I will definitely help you with this favor." ”

"Then there's work. ”

"Xiaomeng, this is the old man Xue Qianmo, the dean of this school, he has agreed to me to guide your spiritual power cultivation, say thank you. ”

"Thank you. ”

"How is it that you are the one who contributed two pots of Chinese New Year's Eve to the spring wine, I will have a snack." ”

"Then I'll leave it to you after that. ”

"Go ahead and get busy with you. ”

"Then I'm leaving, Xiaomeng, you have to listen to this old man's words, you know. ”

"Yes. ”

"Come back by yourself on vacation, do you remember the road?"

"Yes. ”

"In addition, lunch and dinner are eaten in a special cafeteria, and you don't have to pay by showing the badge I just gave you, understand?"

"Understood. ”

Helped Ling Meng tidy up the somewhat folded collar, and thought that there was nothing to do, and Zhencheng opened the wooden door and walked out.

"Okay, little one, come to me, since you want to help you break through the Qi Gathering Period, then you must first let me see what your situation is. ”

Hearing his words, Ling Meng walked up to him, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Just give me your hand. Putting the wine on the table next to him, the old man grabbed Ling Meng's wrist.

A warm feeling came from the old man's hand, starting from Ling Meng's wrist and spreading to his entire arm.

"Turn your back to me. The old man who closed his eyes gave instructions to Ling Meng, and Ling Meng, who turned around, noticed that the hand was on his back, and then on his waist.

"The aura is very thick, and the foundation is also very good, these two pots of wine are really not profitable. ”

"Take off your coat and sit down. ”

After Ling Meng sat down, the old man also walked behind him, and his two hands were gently placed on his back.

"Close your eyes, calm your mind, control the aura, I will guide you, you just try to control the aura and keep up with me. ”

"Yes. Just one is that the old man clearly feels that he has calmed down, and he is in a pretty good state of mind, and he should be able to relax.

The process was smooth to the old man's surprise, it might have been divided into several times, and the process that took more than ten days was completed in only ten minutes.

Smacking his lips, "Then you have entered the cycle period, and if you feel uncomfortable there during meditation, just tell me." ”

"Sir, I feel fine now. ”

"You will feel this way at first, but in the future, if you feel uncomfortable, no matter how slight, tell me, a fitting spiritual cycle will take you further. ”

"Yes. ”

"There's still a lot of time, do you want to talk about it for a while? ”

"Please, sir. Ling Meng, who had put on his coat from the beginning, stood politely in front of the old man.

"When you gain great power, what do you want to use it to gain power, power, fame, or possessions?"

"Sir, I don't understand those things very well, I just think that strength can help Uncle Wang, so I want to learn it well. ”

"Well, then can I ask you, even if he tells you to kill people, will you do the same to kill people who have nothing to do with you?"

"Uncle Wang, he won't let me do such a thing. Although his tone was not strong, Ling Meng did not have any doubts about it.

"Not necessarily, kid. In that position, there are countless people who have stabbed it. ”

"Sir, I don't understand the meaning of this conversation. After being silent for a while, Ling Meng asked the doubts in his heart.

"You were adopted by him. ”

"Yes. ”

"Are you grateful to him?"

"Yes. ”

"He asked you to kill someone, are you willing to kill for him?, as I said earlier, as his successor, you will have to face many enemies of the Duke's family in any position. ”

"If it's an enemy, I can. ”

"Even if there are a lot of good people among those people?"

"Sir, why are there good people among the enemy?"

"Do you think my words are strange? If the king wants to make a move against the duke, do you want to make the king an enemy?"

"......" Ling Meng was instantly confused and began to think about that possibility.

"By then your enemy will be a nation, think about how many people you will kill, and how many of them will be damned?"

"Is this going to happen?"

"Hypothetical, hypothetical, but this kind of thing, whether it's a story or a past history, it's as much as you want. ”

"Why do you ask me such a thing. "Ling Meng is confused, very confused.

"Now, that person thinks of you as a successor and is training you, you can understand. ”

"Yes. After thinking about it for a while, Ling Meng still accepted this possibility.

"I have no doubt that you are up to the task, but you are too confused, and the tragic past binds you, and so fragile that you are capable of killing all the enemies that come your way, for better or for worse. It seemed to be a bit much, and the old man took a sip of wine, "You are still young, and you still have a long time to grow and think, but you must think, and then keep your heart, otherwise you will be eroded by power and become an emotionless machine." ”

“......”

"Then let me ask you another question, when you have the ability, will you go to help people in need?"

"Yes. "There is not much hesitation, this is what his father and mother have told him since he was a child, and he was saved because of Uncle Wang's kindness.

"I see. From his answer, the old man understood that it was not an answer to win his favor, but a concept that had not changed even after suffering and had long been rooted in his heart!

"You have to remember that this kindness is your heart, don't be deceived by common sense and falsehood, and do what you feel is right. ”

"Let's talk about it here, and you're going to miss the time to meet up with everyone. After putting away the book and wine he had just read, the old man tidied up his clothes and said to Ling Meng.

During this contact and conversation, he developed a great affection for the child and decided to help him in any way he could.

May misery be far away from you, child......
