Verse 84: The Shining Young Knight (2-in-1)
"What is the power of the mind?" Bai Ya immediately confided the doubts in his heart, "It sounds illusory. ”
Cang Su smiled: "I can't practice, and I don't know exactly what the power of the mind is. But as far as I know, there are many examples of being able to harness the power of the mind. ”
"The barbarians living in the Frost Continent, most of their elite warriors, have the ability to instinctively dodge. They can dodge when they are attacked by something they can't see or when they are swooped. According to scholars' research, the essence of this intuitive evasion is the power of the mind. If this ability is stronger, it will also perceive traps. ”
"There are a lot of ice avalanche zones in the Frost Continent, a large area of ice with a key ice avalanche point. Jumping around in the rest of the ice, nothing. However, as long as you step on this avalanche point, the entire ice surface will shatter in an instant, and those who lose their footing often die as a result. ”
"Explorers of other races often die in ice avalanches, or are attacked by monsters in deep snow. However, the elite barbarians, after the ability to intuitively dodge and avoid traps to the extent of perceiving traps, can avoid them in advance and walk safely in the snow. ”
"This ability continues to improve, and the barbarian warriors will not be afraid of siege on the battlefield. They always instinctively try to avoid being in danger of being flanked. ”
Hearing this, Needle Gold couldn't help but move in his heart.
He remembered that he had once ventured into the lizard group in order to rescue Zidi, Cangsu and others.
In the face of the siege, he was not flustered in his heart, calmly handled all attacks, and dodged the continuous attacks with ease, but he was very similar to the barbarians.
Cangsu continued, "In the Wilderness Continent, there is a Wind Sword Saint. He is a powerhouse at the level of the Holy Domain, and since the beginning of his cultivation, he has only specialized in the long sword in his hand. He had no armor and no other weapons, and devoted almost all of his energy to improving his sword skills. It is rumored that every time he draws out his sword, it is so fast that people can't see it clearly. His sword skills are extremely simple, and with every shot, he can take the life of at least one enemy. ”
"This Swift Wind Sword Master has a very high reputation and influence among the orcs, and is worshiped by many orcs. Because his cultivation of the Dou Qi Technique is very ordinary, and his own bloodline is not excellent, but he can reach such a height, which makes the vast majority of orcs with poor qualifications and no excellent Dou Qi Cultivation see an example and hope. ”
"For the orcs who asked him for advice, the Wind Sword Master once explained—extremely heart, extremely sword. People speculate that it was he who developed the power of the mind and projected the power of the mind onto the sword, reaching the wonderful realm of the unity of man and sword in the legend. ”
"Is there still such a figure among the orcs?" Bai Ya exclaimed, "If this is the case, why are the orcs still beaten by our human race and can't hold their heads up?"
Needle Gold shook his head and said solemnly, "Don't underestimate the orcs. The orcs can dominate the entire wilderness continent, and naturally there are many heroes and heroes. Although it is our empire that has the upper hand now, in reality, we have only seized a corner of the Wild Continent, and we have only defeated one of the tribes of the beast race. The true war potential of the orcs has not yet begun to erupt. ”
Bai Ya is just an ordinary little person, with the intention of making a contribution, going to the Wilderness Continent in an attempt to become a knight.
There are many people like him.
In the political propaganda of the empire, the strength of the orcs was deliberately weakened, the interests and prospects of war were promoted, and the forces of all levels of the empire were encouraged to flock to the wilderness continent.
The needle gold and hundred needle families are also among them. However, as a nobleman, the vision of needle gold is much higher than that of Bai Ya.
The middle and lower classes were simply optimistic about the prospects of the Terrans on the Wild Continent. The middle and upper echelons of the elite almost knew that this was only the early stage of the Terran invasion, and they had only just gained a foothold. A real war will be needed in the future to determine the outcome of the bicommunal dispute.
"The area of the Wilderness Continent is at least twice that of the Shengming Continent, and there is only one Wind Sword Saint. He is special, and the bloodline is still the cornerstone that determines strength. In comparison of comprehensive strength, our human race is far higher than that of the beast race. Zidi expressed her opinion, "We have won this war between the human race and the orcs!"
Zidi's optimism about the future is also the most common perception of the human race.
She had to win, too.
There is no room for the development of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce in the Shengming Continent, and if the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce wants to develop and grow, the war between the human race and the beast race is the best way.
Needle Gold did not continue to explain.
He found that if he said a little, he would be able to say more. Cangsu's words were more convincing to others than his own explanations.
Bai Ya clung to this topic: "How can I open the power of the mind? I also want to be such a person!"
He didn't have a good bloodline, and he was just an ordinary hunter's son, and Miss Nishihagi didn't have any material support for him. So Bai Ya is very interested in psychic power.
Zi Di chuckled and said, "Your question, the Wind Sword Saint has already given the answer - extremely sword, extremely heart. That means you have to put your mind on one thing, and focus all your attention and energy on one point. So, Bai Ya, if you want to learn from the Wind Sword Saint, then forget about your Miss Nishihagi first. ”
"Ah, how can this be?!" Bai Ya was stunned and shook his head again and again.
The crowd chuckled again.
Bai Ya heard the laughter and saw the teasing eyes of others, and then realized that she was being teased.
He touched his head, and his face turned red.
But despite being embarrassed, Bai Ya still gritted his teeth and looked at Needle Gold with eyes full of worship, love, exploration, and pleading: "Lord Needle Gold, do you have any experience?"
After a pause, Bai Ya continued to ask, "You also have the power of the mind, but you are completely different from the Wind Sword Saint - you love Lord Zidi!"
Cyanobacteria and Cangsu all glanced at the white bud, and the heart said that this white bud was really bold.
Cyanobacteria is middle-aged, and Cangsu is already an old man, both of whom have rich life experiences and understand the gap between the upper and lower classes. In other words, they would never ask a Templar for the tricks of cultivation as an ordinary person.
But Bai Ya is just a young man, and his life experience is actually very little. It is precisely because of this that he falls in love with Miss Nishihagi, who is an aristocratic person.
White Bud has the romance and innocence peculiar to young people.
He had already decided in his heart that Miss Nishihagi was waiting for him, looking forward to the day when he would become a knight, and then return to his hometown with honor, and marry him.
And after all he has experienced on this island, he also faces the threat of death.
For various reasons, he is very eager to get his strength.
But he also understands the brutal side of reality. He didn't have a bloodline advantage, and he didn't have cultivation resources, so his psychic power sounded very illusory, but it became his only hope.
This is also the reason why the Blademaster of the Wind is so influential and charismatic.
Bai Ya's straightforward words couldn't help but make Zidi secretly look at the needle gold, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.
Needle Jin coughed and rolled his eyes secretly: "The ghost knows what the power of the mind is!"
He was able to do this step by cheating in his heart.
But he didn't want to lie anymore.
Keep lying, and the lies will only get more and more told.
Because as long as it is a lie, it is not the truth, and there will be flaws. When there is a flaw, the liar has to cover up the previous one with another lie. But isn't there a flaw in the lies that follow?
In this way, there will be more and more flaws, and eventually the liar will be reduced to a situation where he can't extricate himself from drinking to quench his thirst.
And, for the needle, something more important - lying is against chivalry!
In fact, the lie that Needle Gold had just told to cover up the lizard's eyes had already made him very stressed.
So, he decided to tell the truth this time: "Bai Ya, I may have disappointed you." I don't know much about psychic power. Maybe...... It has something to do with my experience. There are many experiences of life and death, and my soul has been tempered. ”
"Ah, that's right. Bai Ya's face was full of disappointment.
This young man admired and trusted Needle Gold very much, and did not think that Needle Gold deliberately concealed it.
Needle Gold wanted to comfort Bai Ya, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He had no choice but to cast his expectant gaze on Cang Su.
Cangsu did not disappoint him.
The next moment, Cang Xu said to Bai Ya: "What Lord Jin said is very reasonable. ”
"There are many scholars who have analyzed and summarized that the true meaning of the cultivation of the Wind Sword Saint is that he puts his life above the tip of the sword, and every battle, and even every practice, he has to face death. Under the stimulus of death, he gradually excavated his psychic power. And these encounters of Lord Needle Gold on the island are similar to the cultivation process of the Wind Sword Saint who took the initiative to abandon his armor and fight to the death against a strong enemy. ”
Bai Ya raised his eyebrows: "So, if you want to tap the power of the mind, you have to take the initiative to explore and expose yourself to the stimulation of death?
Cangsu said: "Therefore, the Wind Sword Saint has received a lot of disciples, but it has not cultivated the next Wind Sword Saint. Although many good seeds have sprung up, many more have died. His method of cultivation is too dangerous, and it can be said that luck occupies a large component. So far, no apprentice who can fully inherit the mantle of the Wind Sword Saint has appeared. ”
Bai Ya sighed, hearing this, he could only put away his thoughts.
Although Bai Ya is willing to take risks in order to gain power, he also has his own bottom line. In order to pursue spiritual power, he went around looking for death, which was already below his bottom line.
Just as Needle Gold shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing the family, Miss Nishihagi's love and expectation are his motivation and also his bond for Bai Ya.
The next moment, Bai Ya looked at the needle gold with more admiration and love.
"You are truly remarkable, Lord Needle Gold! You have mastered the power of the mind at such a young age. Compared to the Wind Swordmaster, you have a better bloodline. Among the Templars, you must be the most special. It's really an honor to meet adults and follow them!" Bai Ya sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Needle gold: ......
"It's not just an honor, it's a hope. Zi Di took Bai Ya's words, and also looked at the needle gold, her eyes revealing tenderness and sweetness.
Cangsu laughed and said in a very affirmative tone: "Lord Needle Gold is extremely talented, and definitely has a brighter future than the Wind Sword Saint. But what I admire the most is your character. With you, the Hundred Needles family will definitely be able to rise again. ”
Cyanoza didn't speak, and when he heard Cangsu's words, he nodded silently.
Like Cangsu, he also recognizes the virtue of needle gold the most.
At this moment, Cyanoza couldn't help but superficially recall the scenes since his contact with Needle Gold.
He and Huang Zao knelt on the ground and forgave their sins—this is mercy.
Needle gold toyed with the bronze head sheep between applause, killed the leader of the flying squirrel and so on - this is bravery.
Needle Gold has really listened to and accepted the recommendations of Cangsu, Zidi and others many times - this is good at listening to the opinions of others.
Needle Gold leads the entire team and faces a difficult choice, deciding to cut down the bow and successfully hunt the flying squirrel swarm, which is a wise leader.
Poisoning, lack of food, being chased by herds of animals in the desert, how many crises, Needle Gold has been inspiring others - this is steadfastness and optimism.
Needle Gold promises: Do your best to save everyone, although there are only five of them left in the entire exploration team, but this can't be blamed on Needle Gold. He has done his best, and he has been fulfilling his promise - this is keeping promises.
And what made Cyanobacteria feel ashamed and admired the most was the experience he heard from Cangsu and Zidi. In the volcanic cave, in the most dangerous moment, even if the beard took the initiative to dedicate himself, the needle gold adhered to the spirit of knighthood and did not treat people as food - what a noble character!
No one knows better than Spirulina how noble, how rare, and how commendable this spirit and virtue is in the face of death.
After leaving the volcanic rock area, after the battle, hunger, and extreme lack of food, Needle Gold still pushed the only lizard meat and jerboa meat to Cang Whisker and Zi Di - this is mercy for the weak and self-sacrificing!
And what touched Spirulina the most was that even though he knew about his crime, Needle Gold still took pity on him and did not abandon him, and finally let Spirulina decide to live.
Although Needle Gold did not say any comforting words to Spirulina, Spirulina is convinced that he understands himself!
Looking at the young knight in front of him, looking at his handsome face, looking at his blonde hair, looking at the elegant and calm smile on the corner of his mouth, the eyes of the silent blue-green algae gradually moistened.
He didn't see gold, he didn't see the Templars, he seemed to see the sun.
In his eyes, in his heart, the needle gold seems to be radiating light from all over his body all the time!
This kind of light is not because of the identity of the Templars of the Needle Gold, not because of the identity of the sole heir of the Hundred Needle Family, not because of the reflection of the external sun, but because of the character and spirit from the inside out.
He stood there, looking unremarkable, but just a flag, a banner that belonged to a knight!
This made Cyanobacteria want to follow this flag from the bottom of their hearts.
These days, when night falls, when Spirulina rests and faces himself alone, he is also reminiscing and imagining.
"If at that time, when we found that Zidi, Cangsu and the others were trapped on the top of the sand dunes and besieged by a group of lizards, my brother and I would have gone to the rescue regardless of our own safety, we would have joined up with Lord Needlegold. In that case, wouldn't there be the current result?"
"But at that time, I listened to my brother and did not choose to rescue. Is this a god, is it a punishment and a warning from fate to our brothers?"
"Lord Needle Gold, you haven't even given up to save a sinful person like me!"
"From now on, I will follow you with all my self and everything I have until death!"
"You once saved my brother, but when your fiancée was in danger, Huang Zao and I both chose to run away and give up. From now on, I will spend my life atoning for this choice!"
"People who follow people like you, don't they...... Maybe...... Can my darkness fade, can my sins be reduced?"
"It's like the sun shining on it, melting away all the darkness......"
After coming out of the oasis, the blue-green algae is silent, and the above psychological process is unknown.
He once degraded himself as a slave and declared his allegiance to the needle. But that's only because the yellow algae offended a big man like Needle Gold, and for the sake of his younger brother, Cyanobacteria had to do it.
But now the silent allegiance of cyanobacteria is of a completely different nature.
This allegiance, because of the element of the noble status of the needle, is very little. More importantly, it is the understanding of cyanobacteria that makes the latter agree, and the great kindness of needlegold to save the life and soul of cyanobacteria.
In addition, there is the remorse and guilt of the cyanobacteria itself, the attempt to redeem the self, which comes from the driving force of goodness in the depths of human nature.
Cyanoza looked at the needle gold expressionlessly, but the emotions in his heart were extremely complicated, and his eyes gradually turned red and his vision became more and more blurred.
Looking at the white buds, purple pedicles, blue beards, and blue-green algae, Needle Gold felt a tingling on the scalp.
These people all looked at him with eagerness, adoration, affection, tenderness, loyalty, appreciation, and so on.
The young knight couldn't stand it anymore.
What made him feel a little frightened was that the blue-green algae actually had a tendency to cry on the spot.
"What does he mean by that?!"
"I just told a little lie, trying to pave the way for the future and cover up my heart. ”
The intensity of everyone's reaction was beyond expectations, and Needle Jin felt that he was gradually unable to bear it, and he quickly shook his head: "You think too highly of me. Okay, without further ado, let's move on. ”
Needlegold turned around and continued to lead the way.
Others don't know, but don't needles know themselves yet?
He knew that his abilities were actually very limited.
He also knew that although he was resolute on the outside, he was also hesitant, confused, hesitant and sad on the inside.
He longed for bravery, but feared death.
He was a nobleman, a knight, but he was also an ordinary man.
"Yes, I almost forgot! Lord Needle Gold also has the quality of humility!" "Cyanobacteria's eyes lit up again.
"It's hard to imagine that a man of his age could have achieved such things and still maintain a modest and cautious state of mind. This is by no means posturing! I'm sure this humility comes from the bottom of his heart. I really want to know immediately what great things Needle-sama will achieve in the future. "Cyanobacteria looked at the back of the needle gold, and was full of emotion and admiration in my heart.
