Chapter 52: The Apprentice
"Master, I've finished my basic training. Teach me how to punch someone. Early in the morning, when the sky was still dawning, Garcia shouted to him outside Ji Yijun's window.
"Ran away?" Ji Yijun asked with half-squinted eyes as he lay on the bed.
"I've done ten laps around town. ”
"Jumped?"
"Well, like a frog, jumping fifty times back and forth in the alley behind. “
"Fight too...... Hit?" he asked, yawning.
"Of course, this is the most exciting one, and I did an extra hundred more than the five hundred horse step punches you prescribed. Garcia's voice was full of excitement, as if he had punched a lot of enemies with one punch.
"Count you ruthless, the old place is waiting for me. This time, Ji Yijun finally woke up for seven or eight minutes, sat up and commanded.
"Well, all right, I bought you the best white bread and a little bucket of fresh milk from Aunt Lisa. Garcia's voice quickly became softer, and this guy, as he spoke, ran away.
Ji Yijun really admires the children's martial arts talent and martial arts practice momentum here, Garcia is only sixteen years old, but he is almost as strong as a calf, since Ji Yijun promised to teach him kung fu, he will get up early every day to practice, only do more, never be lazy. When Ji Yijun himself practiced martial arts back then, his laziness in fishing for three days and drying nets for two days could not be compared with him at all.
However, teaching people to practice martial arts is much more interesting than opening a store to be a bodyguard. Taking advantage of Li Jia's still sleepy sleep, he went out after a simple wash.
The place where Ji Yijun and Garcia agreed was not far from their shop, just through two small alleys, which was an open space near the river, where children often gathered to play. Before Ji Yijun arrived, he heard a sound of "ha, ha" from there. How does it seem like there is more than one person?
Ji Yijun turned the corner of the wall and found that there were four or five boys practicing boxing with Garcia there. Garcia was at the front, facing these people, and they followed Garcia's movements and punched him, saying "ha, ha" in their mouths. Ji Yijun saw Garcia's extremely serious appearance, and secretly laughed, could it be that he had just accepted an apprentice and was about to become a master in the blink of an eye?
He didn't interrupt them, but looked around from the side, and his brow furrowed, wasn't this Enrique's gang that he had just gotten up with before?
When Enrique saw Ji Yijun, they all stopped their movements, staring at him a little cramped and nervous.
"Master, Master, Enrique, a few of them were subdued by you last time, and they also want to learn kung fu from you as a teacher. Garcia ran over excitedly and said, "I said that Master's kung fu is amazing, and they idiots must not be able to learn even the simplest movements." They didn't believe me, and they just tried to follow my example. ”
"Eventful!" Ji Yijun shook his hand and slapped Garcia's head, looked at the little hooligans in front of him again, and said a little angrily: "Last time, you took a knife and wanted to stab me?
Enrique ran over and knelt down in front of Ji Yijun without hesitation, and Enrique, who was in the lead, said, "We apologize, Master, you can spare us." You are so amazing, we all admire you, so we are willing to learn from you. ”
"You are the mage's guard, and you must be both powerful and generous. Please spare us. The other thug also patted his ass.
Ji Yijun found that these little hooligans were able to bend and stretch, and he asked: "But you, you are bad guys, what if you learn my skills, what should you do to do bad things?"
"Enrique and the others also fought, bullied and bullied people, they didn't do anything bad, and the last time they robbed with a dagger, it was really too attractive for gold coins. This year, the lord is tightened, and everyone is having a hard time, so they naturally think of the crooked way. But then he told me that he didn't really want to hurt anyone. After all, Garcia and they all knew each other since childhood, and he still helped Enrique say a few good words, "Besides, they are wandering around because they have nothing to do." If the teacher had disciplined them and given them something to do, they wouldn't have gotten into trouble everywhere. ”
Ji Yijun had some difficulty listening to Garcia's long words, but he at least understood that Garcia spoke for them. But if he doesn't want to hurt people or something, Ji Yijun doesn't believe it, he has personally fought with them, he has no eyes on the knife and gun, and he kills people in anger or something, it's normal.
But it can be seen that they are not the most heinous people. People in this era have no education, let alone any laws. The so-called morality is based only on the innate conscience, or the teachings of country slang. It is true that the behavior of modern people cannot be judged by their perceptions.
Ji Yijun held his chin, circled around the few people who were almost five bodies on the ground, and then said: "If you want to learn kung fu, how can you say it, you have to give me a decent reason to impress me, right? For example, my father is sick and wants to make ends meet? My sister has been robbed and wants to take it back? I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I want to take revenge?"
Enrique was puzzled by what he heard, and several people looked at each other for a long time, and Enrique said: "My father is a tailor, and my mother takes care of my younger siblings at home. I just want to learn your skills well, and there will be a way out in the future. We can do the work for you, help you find out the news, and do things that you are not happy about and inconvenient to do. ”
"Yes, yes, in the future, as long as you finger your hand, someone will do everything. The others chimed in.
"Moreover, in the future, we will beat whoever you ask us to beat, and we will all go together, and we will not be afraid of any of us with the skills you taught. Enrique added.
Help with the work? Inquire about the news, and hit whoever you say? Ji Yijun narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Okay then." I will give you a test, and when you pass the test, I will teach you. ”
——————————————————————
In the Rose and Crystal Hotel, the inn where Xiao Chen and his party are now staying, Bard Gardo and Letona are hiding in a small room, discussing something in a low voice.
"I still don't understand what level of mages those two people are. Letona, who has rarely spoken, holds a white spar in his hand: "However, this Demon Exploration Stone tells me that their spiritual power is quite strong. Especially that Xiao Chen, he seemed to be practicing some kind of magic every night. ”
Caldo, with his fingers crossed, reclining on a sofa in thought, said, "We can't stay any longer, and as bards who have no place to stay, it's too much to stay in such a luxurious inn for one night, and it would be doubtful to stay with them any longer." ”
"What then, do you want me to try them?" Letona took out a small staff from his bag, "I can sneak up on Xiao Chen's room at night...... See how he reacts. ”
"Well, so be it! But it must not be discovered, and it would be bad if he broke it. Path, the spy of the Temple of the God of War, saw what they were coming, and it was by no means something that ordinary magicians could do. We need to know where they came from, to find out their details, and now it seems that they are most likely magicians from outside the continent, which represents a lot of possibilities. Gardo gestured to the sky outside the window, "You know, his power may not be able to reach that far, maybe we and these people can still be allies." We must not get the adults in trouble. ”
"Hmm. Got it. Then I started. Letona took the wand in his hand and said something, and soon, a dark green light emitted from the wand, and a magic circle appeared in the void, and then a hand slowly floated out of the magic circle.
"Be quiet, don't get noticed by the old fellow in Icasa. Gardo looked at Letona with a serious expression, this is a magic that summons ghosts, since you can't reveal your identity, let this undead play with Xiao Chen upstairs.
Gradually, the head and chest of the undead slowly emerged from the magic circle, this ghost was basically translucent, in the form of a human woman, but the white eyes, sharp fangs, and fingernails of several inches looked very seeping. Gardo has seen Letona cast spells many times, and the ghosts summoned each time are different, and today's one can be called the best, with a solid body and sharp claws, which is used to test Xiao Chen's ability, which is very suitable.
However, just as the ghost's thigh floated out of the magic array, Letona's face suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "It's not good, he is exerting his spiritual power to cultivate, and it seems that he is also preparing to release magic." Wisdom is supreme, what kind of spiritual power is this, it actually penetrated the room and fell in front of me. ”
"Stop it. ”
"No, my mental power was caught by him, he, he wouldn't let me go...... Ah, he's going to unleash his magic...... Ah!!h
Letona's voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly let out a terrible scream along with the summoned ghost, and a moment later, Gardo also felt a force rush into his mind. Fear, extreme fear. All the most terrifying things he had ever seen appeared in front of him in a posture that was several times more terrifying, and he couldn't help but let out a huge scream......
I don't know how long it took, but Gardo, drenched in sweat, woke up, and sat down on the ground, still shivering, and in front of him, the ghost had long since collapsed, and Letona fell to the ground foaming at the mouth and fainted.
He...... He must have found us. It was a warning that such a terrifying magician would not allow anyone to peep and offend. Just when we were about to test him, he launched such a powerful attack, could it be that in fact, our details have been mastered by Xiao Chen? The more Gardo thought about it, the more frightened he became, he really didn't dare to use Xiao Chen's brain anymore, he pushed open the window of the hotel, grabbed Letona with one hand, and kicked it hard, like a bolt of lightning, rushing out of the house.
At this time, Xiao Chen was in the ecstasy of successfully casting his first magic, although he didn't know why the magic released would be attracted by an unknown force downstairs, and he actually spread it downstairs. But, after all, this is the first step to success.
Someone was just shouting, I just hope it doesn't cause any accidents, right?" he thought to himself.
Xiao Chen didn't know that he had inexplicably scared away the two spies who were going to attack him, and by the way, he had nightmares for a whole night of nightmares for the people who were sleeping in several rooms around him.
