Chapter 19: Leisure
It was because of this experience of death that Jiang Hai got a few things.
Persistence, the pursuit of facts. Don't give up, don't compromise, go forward without fear until you get what you want. Even if I am tormented by hardship and death, my heart still does not stop until I reach my goal.
Cognition, this is the most important point, two lives as a human being, thinking that he is already fearless of everything, until the moment when he is really about to die, he really finds that he is still so weak. Under absolute power, the techniques are useless and can only be passively beaten, in addition to the desire for power, but also understand the self. It turns out that there is really fear, fear of death, fear of unfinished mission, fear of the flower on the other side that has not been found. Fear that you will achieve nothing.
Pursuit, the strength that I have been pursuing, many people said that they were geniuses before they came, and even they felt extraordinary, but they didn't expect to lose so completely, there was no room for fighting back, if it wasn't for the opponent to let go of himself at the end, maybe at this moment he was a loser who was returning to the road, after all, he underestimated the world and became a frog at the bottom of the well. What can be regarded as the strength of the vast sea of people, and only the strong can have everything. We must work hard to become stronger, so that there will not be today's disadvantage and embarrassment.
How to share this experience with others, not to mention that people's hearts are unpredictable, at present, the people in this room are their own competitors, why should they confess everything if they are still hiding themselves, and the heart of defense is indispensable. Don't look at the five smiling faces in your eyes, the hypocrisy hidden under those smiling faces is well known to several people.
Li Feng looked at the four people in front of him, all of them were young talents, with magnificent heads, and Jiang Hai was even younger. The look of admiration is undisguised, and the smile is full.
"Congratulations to a few of you for passing this level, as for the next two days to know, a few of you left your address with that tutor, and we will notify you of the next exam. Now it's getting late, so go back first. ”
Several people were at the other mentor's place, leaving their addresses and walking out of the inn while chatting and laughing, and then parted ways, but they didn't expect everyone to be escorted home with two red-blooded sergeants behind them, and they didn't expect that there would be such treatment, and the people around looked at Jiang Hai. The dignified red-blooded sergeant guard is also full of face, but it is more jealous.
In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Hai returned to the inn, and Xia Yun was waiting for him alone drinking wine. Seeing Jiang Hai coming, he was about to ask questions, but when he saw the two red-blooded sergeants behind Jiang Hai, he had to swallow back his words, and his mind was full of puzzlement. The two red-blooded sergeants escorted Jiang Hai back to the inn, but they did not leave, but stood at the door of the inn and did not leave. It seems that I have to protect myself these days, and I can't make mistakes.
beckoned Jiang Hai to sit down, "You haven't eaten yet, let's order food first, I'll ask you later," Xia Yun was understanding.
Hearing the meal, Jiang Hai felt that he was already hungry with his chest against his back. Why didn't you feel it before, you were too focused?
He replied to Xia Yun while eating
"How is Xiaohai, look at your elated, it should have passed, right?" Xia Yun put down his wine glass
"Of course, you don't look at who I am, I'm Jiang Hai! Maybe no one knows me yet, but in the future, I want to let everyone in the world know you." Jiang Hai's mouth was full, but his tone was not ambiguous at all.
"The little guy doesn't know how to be modest at all, you have to know how to hide yourself," Xia Yun said dissatisfiedly, but without a little blame, he stretched out his hand and was about to knock Jiang Hai's head.
But it was blocked by Jiang Hai, "You need to be on guard against outsiders, and you still have something to hide from your family." Isn't that hypocritical? "And you can't beat me now, do you see the two door gods at the door? ”
"I forgot that our Xiaohai is now a key protection object, and there are special guards waiting for us. Xia Yun withdrew his hand and stroked his beard and smiled, "Xia Yun withdrew his hand and stroked his beard and smiled,
"Of course, after all, I am a very promising student, and the academy is reluctant to let me have any accidents, so take precautions, after all, there are mixed fish and pearls here, and dragons and snakes are mixed. Besides, jealousy hurts people. ”
"It's good that you know, the rivers and lakes are sinister and unpredictable, you pay more attention to yourself, by the way, what should I do next, when will the academy pick you up?"
"It's only where to go, it's only passed the third level, and you have to wait until everyone has passed the third level to decide the next test. I am now waiting for the notification from the tutor. ”
"You showed off your feelings for a long time before you passed the third level, look at your squeezy energy, I thought you were admitted, if you were not admitted, I will see how you explain to your family. ”
"Don't worry, I'll be able to get in. ”
"It's good that you're so confident, if you say ugly things about the elimination of the front, we'll immediately roll up and leave, and some people will miss it after coming out for a long time. ”
Jiang Hai heard the voice in the words but didn't ask in detail, if he could tell himself, Xia Yun would definitely tell him, he didn't say that it could only be that the time had not come, but he could deduce that it was not a good thing. There were words in my grandfather's words that night, as well as Xia Yun's serious words in front of him, and it is not difficult to guess what he said now. Now my focus should be on the exam, so I can't be distracted, so I will keep it in my heart for the time being, and wait for an opportunity to talk about it.
The protection of the red-blooded sergeant is really omnipresent, Jiang Hai woke up and pushed the door open and saw two sergeants standing straight at the door, with admiration suddenly rising and being loyal and dutiful.
It's just that it didn't take long for Jiang Hai to be a little unbearable. This Nima is too upright, although it is not close protection, but eating and drinking Lazar is not ten steps away, Jiang Hai suddenly has a feeling of being watched, glad that he is not a woman, if it is a woman, what is it called.
Xia Yun was optimistic about this situation, and blindly persuaded Jiang Hai that it was for safety reasons, and it was only a day or two to endure it, and it would be difficult for someone to follow him in the future.
At this point, Jiang Hai had two more people behind him, and he was always ten steps away from him.
That's where the troubles come from. Going out for a walk naturally attracts attention all the way, and I must be famous. It's like looking at the strange things in the Treasure Pavilion. Alas, it's not that Jiang Hai is eye-catching, but that the two people in the back are too popular.
There was surprise, envy and even jealousy in his eyes. The last ones are naturally those who come in the dust, but leave in frustration. Looking at his own downfall and the scenery of others, how can he not feel unfair. In another time and space, this is called hatred of the rich.
Facing these strange eyes, Jiang Hai was also helpless, a simple trip attracted such unhappiness, the elegance of the walk dissipated instantly, and the stride inn hurried.
The two-day test eliminated nine out of ten people. Those people had to go home, and there were many people out of the city for a while, scrambling to be the first. There are very few outsiders in the city, and those who remain are either waiting for the next round of tests like Jiang Hai. Or just for fun. The originally noisy and congested city of Yinsheng suddenly stopped a lot.
The biggest contrast between before and after is still the inn restaurant. Now I have a lot of free time, and I believe it will be back to normal in two days at most.
There are always people who insist, for the sake of ideals, fame and fortune, in order to have a bright future. This is a strong belief that supports countless young talents to go forward and succeed. Chase that limited number of spots.
In the evening, Jiang Hai sat in a corner of the inn, asked for a pot of tea and some snacks, and watched people come and go, and the appearance of the market. Traffickers and pawns who are running for a living, students who are running for the future, elders and relatives who work tirelessly, and patrol soldiers who do their duty. Look at it all as a spectator. Detachment from everything is not in it, quietly watching and not being infected by this environment, just motionless for an afternoon.
Once upon a time, I liked this kind of quietness, thinking about the direction of life in silence, and looking for inner peace. There is no worldly oppression, and there is no disturbance, and his own world now seems more or less withdrawn. In this life, such a character is no longer good, and it will slowly wear out ambitions, and it is impossible not to work hard if you carry too much.
The inn talked for a while and didn't know what was going on, and pulled Jiang Hai's gaze back from outside the house, this was Wen Hui's father and son, and the fat body could be seen at a glance in the crowd, and the form was too eye-catching, but the object of discussion at this moment was obviously not them, but the two red-blooded sergeants behind.
In this situation, Jing Jianghai knew that this Wen Hui had also passed the charm level, and now he was also a talented student. Sure enough, confident people have strength as long as they are not stupid.
Jiang Hai's two guardians were also drinking tea in the hall at this time, Jiang Hai had not gone out since he came back in the morning, and they had been staying here. A few guards who knew Wen Hui's guards took the initiative to say hello, and a few people sat at the two guards table and talked.
"Da Niu Erhu didn't expect you to be sent out, I thought that our team only had this errand with my worm, hahaha I am now balanced. One laughed
"You're laughing at a ghost, you think we want to follow people's butts and follow the fart, it's not really arranged by the boss" Da Niu was full of grievances, just like the little daughter-in-law was bullied. Not to mention, the nickname of this big cow is really suitable for his strong body, the tiger's back and bear's waist are as strong as a cow. It's just that this appearance at the moment makes people can't help laughing, but no one dares to laugh.
"Haha" The sergeant named Worm laughed out loud, they were all bitter masters, "Come and let's have a cup of tea, the wine can't be drunk, this tea is a substitute for the bar" Several people raised their glasses and drank together.
"By the way, what about the kid you protect?" the Brute Hammer only pointed at the Jiang Hai.
It turned out to be him Erhu said
"Do you know him?"
"This kid is the guy who has been fishing with Mentor Li Feng for a few days. ”
"Oh, it's him, you didn't say he ......," Hammer whispered.
"No, no, no," interrupted Brutehammer with three words in a row, "you didn't see the light of the Celestial Stone that day, I happened to be there that day." ”
"You mean, it's still hanging Lao Tzu's appetite" The hammer was also an anxious man, slapping the table, his eyes were like copper bells, and he looked at the two tigers.
"I'm just drinking a cup of tea with a dry mouth, don't you want to be so excited. Sure enough, it's a brute hammer, and it's very impulsive. A cup of tea continued
"That day, as soon as his hand touched the Tianmingshi, it made the Tianmingshi emit a faint light, and as long as the Tianmingshi was allowed to shine, it would be considered a pass, but before the mentor could speak, that day the Mingshi suddenly shone brightly, and the whole room was as white as day, and the mentor was stunned for a long time without speaking. It was the kid who opened his mouth before the mentor woke up. ”
"So, this time, the Deer Academy has picked up a treasure?"
"I don't know if you found the treasure or not, do you remember what our young adult told us before? His light is less than a tenth of this boy. ”
The three gasped
"This is not over, then Mentor Li said that this is the second time in history that the Tianmingshi emits such light, do you know who the first time .....was? My lord, "Erhu didn't dare to call him by his name, and few people in the world dared to call him by his name." I wanted to say that I was perverted, but when I thought about it, I was not qualified enough to be called an adult.
The eyes of the three of them looking at Jiang Hai suddenly changed. This made Jiang Hai puzzled.
"Now you know what you two are protecting? It's a future god. "The big bull and the tiger looked at the hammer and the bugs
A look of looking at a joke.
"I'm really killing the boss this time. ”
Wen Hui and his son walked up to Jiang Hai, "Fight a table?" Seeing Jiang Hai nodding, the two sat down.
"Have you had dinner yet, little brother? Jiang Hai was also curious, and Wen Hui also agreed.
"Dare to ask what the son is called," Wen Hui took the initiative to ask
"Where is the son, the people of the mountains and the wilderness, you call me Jianghai?"
"'Jianghai' is a good name, there is a river and a sea, what is the biggest in the world, that is the sea, and the future of Brother Tai is immeasurable. Wen Hui seemed to be flattering, but his words were intentional.
"Isn't Brother Wen also having a bright future," his eyes also deliberately glanced at the guard.
"Hehe, maybe we will be brothers in the same sect in the future. ”
"I don't dare to say this, maybe I will be eliminated in the next moment, I don't have the strength to talk and laugh like Brother Wen. ”
"Brother Jiang laughed, my intuition tells me that you are my biggest competitor in this exam. ”
"Competitors, five places are enough, how can I compete with you, won't it be over if you take one of them?" Jiang Hai said.
"That's right, in fact, I'm more special, and I can't fight with you. ”
"Special, what's special?" Jiang Hai asked
"Forgive me for not being able to say it right now. Wen Hui gave up
Everyone has a little secret, and Jiang Hai doesn't ask deeply.
The other table of four people watched as their respective protectors came together. "It looks like we're going to act together, and that fat man of yours is with that kid. The bug laughed
"Okay, let's share the pressure together. ”
By the way, what about that little fat man?
This guy is a bit special? He's a mage, and he hooked his hand and motioned for the two of them to step forward
"He's a Ice, Fire and Thunder Mage. It is a matter of the college's secrets that cannot be disclosed, "Several people are brothers in life and death, so they have to tell the truth."
"Three-line mages are rare, and they are also thunder-attribute three-line mages, this is also a treasure-level guy. I didn't expect that two of them were found in this small city of Yinsheng, and the academy is blessed, and the burden of the two of you is not light. "Bugs quipped.
"That's why I blame the captain for giving us such drudgery, alas. The bull sighed.
"I forgot to tell you about his amazing deeds. ”
"Oh, and this kind of gossip, come and talk about it. The two were clearly interested.
"Everyone knows that the third level guarded by Mentor Li Feng is the most difficult, and it can be described as one in a million, but this fat man is definitely the easiest I have ever seen. Everyone else looked like they were going to die and grinned, and he opened his mouth and saliva straight down three thousand feet the whole time, and there was a puddle on the ground. That's it, maybe something strange happened in a dream. At the end of the day, the mentor woke him up, and he opened his mouth and said, 'Who took my chicken legs?' Mommy has been chasing you for a few days and nights, isn't it you?' He also pointed to the nose of Tutor Li Feng"
"Poof", the hammer bug who was drinking tea, and the two of them sprayed tea on the face of the talking big cow at the same time.
"This is fine," he laughed loudly, holding his belly, "hahaha"
Da Niu depressedly wiped the tea from his face, I knew it would be like this.
"This is too strange for him, the feeling is to chase the chicken leg until he drools, the nature of the foodie does not change, no wonder he is so fat. ”
The two of them ignored the other people in the hall regardless of the impact, and laughed when they should have laughed. The one who laughed was called a loud one, and I didn't think that the Predator also had such an emotional side. This surprised everyone. Is this still the impression of the imperial soldier who is as cold as iron and does not smile and does not be shocked by the collapse of the sky?
Jiang Hai and Wen Hui were also among them, curious about what kind of strange thing made the red-blooded sergeant with the image of the empire so out of shape. Of course, curiosity is curiosity, and curiosity will not be stupid to ask.
"Stop, I can't laugh anymore, my stomach hurts" The two barely stopped laughing while holding their stomachs. It's just that Wen Hui at the other table felt a few strange eyes looking at him,
What is the situation, how do you feel like looking at a monster, Wen Hui followed his eyes and saw that it was those red-blooded soldiers. Said to protect me, why did you look at me like this.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Hai asked when he saw Wen Hui's strange appearance
"This red-blooded sergeant is so protective?"
"Alas," Jiang Hai felt the same way, "you have to try to get used to it, I've been here like this all day today, like a shadow, and I've been staring at it wherever I go? You'll get the feeling. Jiang Hai's heart palpitated.
It's just that both of them obviously misunderstood what the other meant. Think about that scene, wherever you go, you enjoy this kind of inhuman gaze, and you look at yourself like a fool when you go to the toilet. Walking on the road, there are a few piercing eyes behind him. How can this be good, Wen Hui already had a little cold sweat on his neck, and he was afraid for a while.
"Alas, you have to get used to it," Jiang Hai patted Wen Hui on the shoulder.
"Big brother, you can't scare me like that, it's too scary, I'd rather try the Charm Sound again than have them follow. ”
"It's up to you and me, and they're commanded to do it. Patience is over. Jiang Hai took out Xia Yun's words of comfort to himself, but he didn't know why Wen Hui was so afraid, which made Jiang Hai puzzled.
Wen Hui also knew that things were not under his control. Keep your head down and only accept.
There was nothing to do for a day, Xia Yun knew that he had the protection of the red-blooded sergeant, and he couldn't see anyone for a day, saying that he was going out to play and leaving Jiang Hai alone.
I don't know why these two guards are getting closer and closer to me, yesterday it was ten steps away, and after one night, it became five steps, and this is worth it! If it continues to develop at this rate, won't we have to share the same bed tomorrow? The day after tomorrow........ Jiang Hai trembled for a while, and he didn't dare to think about it.
It's no wonder that the two of them heard about Jiang Hai's potential yesterday, this is a baby, you have to be careful to protect it, you can't get out of the sight of you and me, the two agreed that ten steps is a bit far, in case something happens, they are afraid that they will not react in a hurry, so they changed it to five steps.
When I went to have breakfast, Wen Hui had already come here early, full of black eyes, and was sitting there dejectedly. Seeing Jiang Hai coming, he beckoned Jiang Hai to sit down.
