Chapter 8 The so-called human nature
Lin Xi limped through the rainbow-like medicine valley with Bian Linghan and walked towards the old bamboo building at the end of the terraces.
Although there are new lessons every day, the daily special training on Windrangers is still carried out non-stop.
On the other side of the hill, new terraces cultivated by the Imperial Medicine Department have also been completed, and various young shoots have already been transplanted into them.
If there is a sea, the scenery of this rainbow valley will never be inferior to Provence in the picture book.
"You're ten stops slower than usual. ”
The one-eyed, black-robed lecturer who was waiting in the woods behind the old bamboo building first made a dissatisfied voice, and then turned around to see Lin Xi frowning and limping, but there was a slight chill in his one-eyed eyes: "What's the matter?"
"I was beaten by Mr. Xu, and he asked me to demonstrate to him that the so-called martial arts are faster and stronger means of killing, but I couldn't reach half of his clothes desperately. Lin Xi looked at the one-eyed black-robed lecturer and smiled bitterly. Xu Shengmo's wicker, especially the blow that hit his ankle, was really heavy, making every step he took to land until now would have the taste of pain at that time.
"Even if you are a Great Soul Master's cultivation, you may not be able to touch half of his clothes, let alone now. The one-eyed black-robed lecturer had a layer of frost on his face, and forced his eyes to look at Lin Xi, "Why are you beaten like this, from your eyes, I can't see any dissatisfaction, are you so peaceful that you don't have half a bit of blood?"
Lin Xi looked at the one-eyed black-robed lecturer curiously, and said, "Students don't understand what the teacher says, the more strict the teacher is with the student, the more benefits the student will get." ”
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer looked at Lin Xi and Bian Linghan, who were as green and thin as green bamboo, and sneered: "I really don't know if you are self-consoling or stupid, do you think that Xu Shengmo looks at you differently and deliberately sharpens you because of your natural choice and accompanying Bian Linghan to accept this special course?"
"Why not?" Lin Xi was stunned: "That's what the students really think. ”
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer glanced at Lin Xi and said, "Xu Shengmo has always been with me all the way, and he is still very different from me. ”
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why... Does the academy also have a communiqué for personal vendettas?"
The one-eyed, black-robed lecturer sneered: "Where there are people, there are disputes, just like you naturally have dirt bags, golden spoons, and border barbarians. In the past few days since you entered the academy, just because of your background and personality, you are not naturally demarcated? This is still the case for the new students of the Zhige Department, not to mention the entire department, the entire Qingluan Academy. ”
Lin Xi's brows furrowed even tighter.
The words of the one-eyed black-robed lecturer are not difficult to understand at all, and it is true that in the past few days, a small group has naturally formed among the freshmen of the Zhige Department, and the closest to him are Li Kaiyun and Tang Ke, Hua Lianyue, Bian Linghan and the others, but as a holy place with glory and dreams, he originally thought that the starting point of each lecturer must be noble, and whether it was Mu Qing or this one-eyed black-robed lecturer with a vicious appearance, they left a good impression on him, but if Xu Shengmo deliberately blamed him just because he was the person selected by the one-eyed black-robed lecturer, then his opinion of Xu Shengmo would definitely plummet.
"Teacher Tong, why are you and him not on the right path, because of the gap between your hearts?" After a moment of silence, Lin Xi asked seriously.
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer picked up a black bow, put a tube of feather arrows on his back, and kept holding the feather control string to shoot, each arrow accurately fell on the red hearts of each target in the forest, with a wonderful rhythm and aesthetic posture, so that Lin Xi and Bian Linghan naturally formed a deep impression in their minds, this lesson has already begun, but he did not hide it, and when he continued to shoot arrows, he explained coldly: " I have a different background from Xu Shengmo, I am also from Tubao, he is from a golden spoon, and his qualifications and cultivation have always been higher than mine, but I have obtained two of the same badges as him, and one of them is earlier than he got it. However, the biggest difference between me and him is that I have a completely different view of things as they are, and I, Professor Qin, and Vice Dean Xia have always been firmly opposed to one of his proposals. That's the biggest reason why there is a clear line between me and him, as well as some of the lecturers and professors in the college, but the vast majority of professors who disagree with us are not as narrow-minded as he is. ”
Lin Xi carefully observed every subtle movement of the one-eyed black-robed lecturer, including the gentle movement of the three fingers on the tail feathers when the arrow flew out of his hand, and at the same time asked with a frown, "What kind of proposal makes you incompatible?"
He advocated teaching with living people. The one-eyed, black-robed lecturer said with some coldness: "Let the students directly confront the enemy, assassinate prisoners and enemy prisoners." According to him, the most realistic killings are the most effective for students to improve. ”
Lin Xi and Bian Linghan were both stunned, and couldn't help but glance at each other. There is some truth to this assertion. Lin Xi took a deep breath, looked at the one-eyed black-robed lecturer and said, "Especially the Zhige Department, since most of them will face the most brutal strangulation in the future, then this kind of method should indeed be able to cultivate more powerful students, so why don't you agree with this proposition, Teacher Tong?"
"Our reason is also very simple, if you are on the battlefield and kill the opponent, there is nothing to say, but there is no glory in using the opponent you have captured to kill in the classroom, and it seems too cruel... Xu Shengmo: They think that we are too kind of women, but we think that this is human nature, because the dean has already opposed this. The one-eyed black-robed lecturer stopped, looked at Lin Xi and Bian Linglan and said, "The dean once said that even the killing weapon that came out of our Qingluan Academy must at least have humanity and know that you are not killing for the sake of killing. ”
"Do you want to use what you think is the truth to subtly change the world?" Lin Xi thought of the middle-aged uncle he had never met before, and smiled silently wryly. "It seems that there are quite a few people on his side... Why are you telling us this, aren't you afraid that we think you are suspicious of wooing us?" After shaking his head, Lin Xi looked at the one-eyed black-robed lecturer very directly and said.
The one-eyed, black-robed lecturer sneered disdainfully, a disdainful sneer that really floated completely from the bottom of his heart to his face: "I just want you to understand that whether it is a lecturer from Qingluan Academy or a high-ranking person in the Yunqin Empire, they are all people with flesh and blood and their own selfish desires and opinions. In both the academy and the empire, there are factions formed because of power and self-righteousness, I don't care which faction you join in the future, but I just hope that the students I teach will always have that humanity in their hearts, and look at everyone with a cautious and skeptical mentality, which can also make a Windranger live longer. ”
Lin Xi and Bian Linghan both heard the kindness in the words of the one-eyed black-robed lecturer, and in the quiet woods, both of them gave a serious salute: "Students are taught." ”
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer stopped talking, and Lin Xi and Bian Linghan naturally each picked up a black longbow, "That's right", Lin Xi suddenly thought of something, smiled, and said: "Teacher Xu shouldn't have an opinion about you, so you even hate this bow and arrow, right?" In today's martial arts class, he said that any blade should simply be regarded as an extension of the body, as if it were his own hands and feet, except for stupid things like arrows that are uncontrollable after flying out. ”
The one-eyed, black-robed lecturer pursed his lips in disdain, arrogantly reluctant to make any comments.
Lin Xi smiled and continued to ask, "Teacher, our Qingluan Academy really doesn't have any moves against the enemy?
That's just his statement. The one-eyed black-robed lecturer sneered: "That's the case, you see that he won't teach you the Qingluan Twenty-Four Body Technique in the next class." These twenty-four physical techniques themselves contain a lot of actions against the enemy, and if you use a blade next, how to use the sword the fastest, and at what angle is the most difficult to assassinate, this is originally a move. ”
"Well, one last question. Lin Xi, who was already familiar with the lecturer's temper, nodded obediently, looked at him seriously and asked, "If you and Teacher Xu fight to the death, who is more powerful?"
"If I face it abruptly in this Qingluan Academy, he is more likely to kill me. If I'm going to kill him outside, there's a better chance he'll be killed by me. The one-eyed black-robed lecturer frowned, glanced at Lin Xi deeply, and said slowly.
Lin Xi smiled slightly, stopped talking nonsense, and began to repeat the action of holding the bow and arrows to control the strings intently.
But this time, the one-eyed, black-robed lecturer said coldly: "From now on, you can activate the arrows." ”
"Can you officially shoot arrows?" Lin Xi was happy for a while, and felt a little complacent in his heart: "It seems that my archery cultivation is not slow." ”
"In order to achieve the most accurate strike, it is not only necessary to hold the bow accurately, but most importantly, to control the subtle effect of the bowstring on the feather arrow when it is fired, and to feel the effect of the changing wind on the arrow in flight. If there is no wind in the environment, among the ten archers of the border army, I am afraid that 20% of them can hit the bull's-eye with arrows within 100 steps. ”
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer didn't see the complacency in Lin Xi's heart this time, but just calmly told a fact, "The wind can make the arrows deviate, but the wind walker must not be affected by the wind and let the wind be used for his own use." ”
"Whoosh!"
As he spoke, Lin Xi's first arrow officially landed on the lower half of the target in front of him, and if it was a person, it happened to be shot on the foot.
Lin Xi smiled, and didn't feel embarrassed, and once again concentrated on drawing the bow, setting up the arrow, and drawing the string.
Black feathered arrows flew in the wind in the forest.
