Chapter 10: Crisis

In the following time, Long Xiu practiced the new word scroll every day. When I wake up in the morning, in the basement of the library, and when I go to bed at night, I practice whenever I have time. After so many years of not being able to cultivate, he was full of desire for cultivation. Fortunately, the word scroll is not martial arts, otherwise Long Xiu would have become a martial arts idiot.

The advantage of the word scroll is that the cultivation of the three forms can be practiced at the same time, rather than the first form being practiced in order to practice the second form. In half a month, Long Xiu has begun to grow a little, and with his daily exercise, his physical skills can be clearly improved. The most important thing is that memory is improving by leaps and bounds, and I used to be unable to read a book in five days, but now I can read half a book in one day, and most of them can be memorized.

When Long Xiu taught the character scroll to Wu Lin, Da Ji and Naivety, the three of them replied that they couldn't feel the energy of heaven and earth. Long Xiu's explanation was that it was possible that because his meridians were abnormal, the energy would automatically walk to the cells, and the three of them had normal meridians so they couldn't cultivate.

And Long Xiu not only has to practice the new word scroll every day, but also studies all kinds of magic books, most of the books here are magical, and a small part are warriors. The Fighting Academy is divided into the Academy of Magic and the Academy of Warriors. It's just that soldiers often don't like to read books, so there are always very few.

Long Xiu is putting the sorted books back in their original positions, and the books that came back yesterday are going to be put back on the shelves this morning, and these shelves have all been sorted. Each bookshelf corresponds to a different book, some are fire, some are earth, there are spells, and so on.

Long Xiu's body was still very low and couldn't be put back in the top position, and he had to climb the stool every time to put it back. A small figure is shuttling back and forth through the various bookshelves, and after these days of familiarity, he is already familiar with each bookcase.

"Oh, it's annoying. I don't know how to do the homework that the teacher asked me to write. ”

"Yes, the homework left by the teacher is too difficult, but I can't find the books when I come to find them. ”

"If only someone could ask, or find someone to write it instead?"

β€œ......”

Long Xiu listened to the conversation between the two while sorting through the books, it wasn't the first time he had heard this type. It seems that the students here are not very interested in learning. Long Xiu thought for a while: That's right, most of the students here are children of rich families, and they just came here to make a good reputation. If I can help them write it, since they are from the first level, they should be first-order or second-order magicians, and the topic should not be too difficult.

"Two big brothers, can you show me what kind of topic it looks like?"

The two of them looked like a child, and they didn't bother to look at it anymore, they were still slaves. Like a mosquito, he said, "Go, go, get away, don't get in the way." ”

The reaction of the two Long Xiu had already thought of it in advance, and he was not angry and said, "What if I can help you with your homework?"

"Hmm, can you help us write it? Hahaha, is this kid joking?"

"The two big brothers might as well try the debut question, and you won't lose anything anyway?" Long Xiu said confidently.

The two looked at Long Xiu obviously as a child, but the expression on his face had a different maturity, and he felt that he was reasonable, so he should tease the child.

"Hehe, okay, kid. Do you know the level of a magician?" The son casually had a problem, this is a very simple question, but their character Long Xiu can't beat it.

"Do you want to ask about the past or the present?" asked Long Xiu confidently.

"Oh, what's the difference?" the two were confused.

"Of course there is, it used to be divided into eight stages: trainee magician, junior magician, intermediate magician, senior magician, grand magician, magician, great magician, and holy magician. And now the commonly used are the first to eighth order magicians. ”

After listening to Long Xiu's answer, the two of them were instantly dumbfounded, but they only knew the classification method of magicians from the first order to the eighth order, and they had never heard of magicians being divided into levels like this before. It's yourself who is lonely and unheard.

One of them was not convinced, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know how many systems magic is divided into?"

"Do you want to ask about elemental magic, or synthetic magic, or chanting magic. Long Xiu put his hands behind his back, looking like a teacher.

The two of them were stunned again, is there so much magic?

"You can just say it. The two of them couldn't show their cowardice and let Long Xiu say it, but they didn't know what the answer was.

"Elemental magic is roughly divided into six systems: wind, water, fire, earth, darkness, and light. And there are more synthetic magic, ice, fire, thunder and lightning, sandstorms, etc., for example, water and earth can be combined into wood, wood and earth can be synthesized upwards, there are too many to say, and there are more spell magic, if you want to say, you can't finish it in a month. ”

The two of them were originally unlearned and unskilled, and they didn't know whether the answers to the questions they asked were correct or not, but Long Xiu could answer them anyway.

The two continued to ask and continued to ask, just to embarrass Long Xiu once, but Long Xiu never gave them a chance to do their own, and all the questions were answered.

Until a long time passed.

The two said, "Teach us." ”

"You're asking me to help you with your homework, that's easy to say, but I have a small condition. Long Xiu saw that the other party had already thrown himself to the ground with the five bodies he admired, revealing the wolf body under the sheepskin.

"You say, if only we could do it. The two of them began to worry a little about what such a master would ask for him, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

"It's simple, I'll need a gold coin to help you with your homework. ”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and thought that Long Xiu wanted some valuables, most of the people who could come here to go to school were noble children, and money was not difficult for them. said: "It's not easy, my brother and I will each give you a gold coin?"

Long Xiu regretted that his intestines were about to break, and he said in his heart: These two guys are rich people, it seems that they have said less, and they will ask for more next time.

Long Xiu has been worried about the cost of Dandan's milk recently, and the little money left after selling the clothes was used to buy milk for Dandan, and now the money is almost gone. Long Xiu's original clothes were only sold for half a gold coin, and he didn't expect to get two gold coins for them to write their homework.

"What's this one?"

β€œa”

"Where's this?"

β€œc”

......

After simply getting two gold coins, Long Xiu took the money and ran to buy five eggs, ready to go back and invite the little brothers to have a good meal.

"What do you want me to take?" said Long Xiu as he pushed open Wu Lin's door.

Unexpectedly, the innocence and great ability were there, so he turned to look at him, there were tears on his face, Wu Lin was lying on the bed, and there was still blood on his body.

Long Xiu hurriedly threw down the egg and ran over and asked, "What's the matter?" Wu Lin, what's wrong with him?"

"He got into a fight with someone and was stabbed with a knife. Da Jian cried and said.

Long Xiu hurriedly checked Wu Lin's injury, the wound was in the abdomen, a knife wound. is still bleeding, naΓ―ve and capable of pressing Wu Lin's wounds, but the bleeding can't be stopped at all. Both of them were dying, and Wu Lin had already fainted with a pale face.

"Get out of the way, let me try. ”

Long Xiu hurriedly urged the raw word scroll in his body and condensed the energy in his hand, only to see that his hand began to glow faintly, Long Xiu tried hard to control the energy in his hand, and put his hand on Wu Lin's abdomen.

It was the first time he had used a word roll for treatment, but he couldn't make a mistake and wasn't allowed to make a mistake. If you make a mistake, your good brother will die.

Long Xiu's head was already stained with sweat, and he saw that the wound on Wu Lin's abdomen was slowly healing, and his face began to color, and he looked at Wu Lin's wound in surprise with both innocence and great ability.

Until Wu Lin's wounds were all healed, with a "bang", Long Xiu fell to the ground, forcibly urging the scroll and prostrating himself.

After a while.

I saw Wu Lin slowly open his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Seeing him wake up, NaΓ―ve said excitedly: "Stupid, you almost died." ”

"Can you pull me?" Long Xiu's voice came, Long Xiu fell to the ground due to collapse, his body had no strength at all, and he couldn't even stand up.

The two hurriedly helped Long Xiu up and sat on the bed, just rescued one, and the other looked like he was about to die.

After a pause, Long Xiu asked, "What the hell is going on?" I didn't ask just now. ”

"That's right, Wu Lin was stopped by Arthur when he came back and asked him to pay the money. said that it was the protection fee for the four of us, and Wu Lin didn't give it," Da Shui explained.

"Isn't it okay to give them away, has the money been all spent last time?" Long Xiu asked that after selling the clothes last time, the rest of the money was kept by Wu Lin, who was responsible for buying milk for Dan Dan every day.

"There's still a little left, but that's the money to buy milk for Dandan, and I can't give them it. Wu Lin stood up and said, this is the last bit of money for a few people, there is no money to work in the Fighting Courtyard, just to take care of the food. If the money is gone, the milk of the balls will not be settled.

"What a big idiot, you can make it again when the money is gone, what if you die, fortunately I came back in time this time. Long Xiu slapped it with a palm, he was angry that Wu Lin was a dead brain, but Long Xiu was still very moved.

"Ahem, tap, tap. The balls are still small, and they will starve to death without milk. ”

"Who are they, why are they here to collect protection money?" Long Xiu was a little puzzled, he hadn't heard of anyone collecting protection money during the time he had been here.

Da Jian lowered his head and said: "The former boss of the slaves of our Southern Courtyard was Lin Li, and he also took good care of the people in our Southern Courtyard, and never charged protection money. But a few days ago, Lin Li was defeated by the Thunder Fist of the Eastern Courtyard, so the Thunder Fist asked the people of our Southern Courtyard to pay protection money. ”

"Thunder Fist, who is this?" asked Long Xiu.

"You didn't know when you first came, he didn't know his original name, but people called him Thunder Fist, and he had thunder magic on his fist when he fought. The people in our southern courtyard are all Orientals, and we can't beat them. Da Quan explained.

Long Xiu was thinking in his mind that since he couldn't beat it, he could only pay protection money, but this was not a long-term solution. Strengthening your own strength is the key.

"How much do they charge?"

"Well, the four of us have half a gold coin a month. There are only a few dozen copper coins left in the milk money of Dandan, and I have to pay so much money, but where to get the money. The other two were also at a loss.

"What do you think this is?" Long Xiu said with a smile as he took out a gold coin and a few silver coins from his sleeve.

When several people saw that it was money, they first looked at him in surprise, and then changed their expressions of worry and disdain for a moment.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Long Xiu, you won't learn from Wu Lin to steal money. Naively asked worriedly. Where did such a large sum of money come from, and there is no income here, only one possibility is stealing.

Long Xiu slapped his forehead and said, "Am I that kind of person? ”

"Earned?" the three asked in unison.

Long Xiu told the matter of the two gold coins.

The three of them suddenly realized that they could give so much money to help with homework.

Long Xiucai remembered that there were still eggs, and when he came in just now, he was still outside directly, and ran out to pick up the eggs. The eggshell was broken but still edible, so one was given to each person.

Wu Lin was injured, and each person gave Wu Lin half more. Dan Dan is holding the egg next to him and eating, and his body is not much bigger than the egg. But one skill was eaten all. Several people couldn't help but worry about the amount of balls they ate.

"Give them the money tomorrow, and then I want you to start cultivating as well. ”

"Cultivation?" the three asked.

Long Xiu nodded and said, "We were bullied because we were very weak, and Wu Lin almost died today." If we can cultivate, we can at least have the ability to protect ourselves. I'll find some books for you to study. ”

"But we can't read, only naΓ―ve literacy, and I don't know how to read. Wu Lin said with a bitter face, his big ability is also a nod, he was sold here very early, and they have not learned to read at all.

Long Xiu thought for a while and said, "Then from today onwards, I will teach Wu Lin, and I will teach great skills in naivety." After that, I'll find you some exercises to cultivate. ”

Today's incident really made Long Xiu feel a crisis, if you want to survive here, you must strengthen your own strength, not only your own strength, but also the strength of your friends to become stronger. This is the best way to protect yourself.

"Senior brother, the fourth junior brother is back. But he was seriously injured, he was injured by the demon capital city lord, I have already seen it, his exercises are very peculiar, and I can't think of a way to save him. ”

"Well, I know his exercises, I'll take a look at them later. ”

The two of them were Long Xiu's father, Long Mu, and his master Yun Yazi.

"I only know that Long Xiu was sent to the Fighting Academy, and the fourth junior brother didn't find out about anything else. He couldn't get into the Fighting Courtyard. Yun Yazi said worriedly.

Ryuki nodded and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Yun Yazi didn't know what Long Mu was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Are we not if the Demon Capital City Lord finds out, Long Xiu's life is likely to be in danger." ”

Long Muyi waved his hand and interrupted: "Senior brother, don't worry, he won't do this." I still have the value of use, he won't move Long'er for the time being, as long as he can't beat the Xianyin Sect for a day, Long'er will always be safe. ”

"But if the Demon City Lord knows what we're doing."

"Hehe, senior brother. The strength of the Guiji Gate is not weak, why am I cooperating with the demon capital, instead of going to the Guiji Gate. I'm going to drag him into the muddy waters. Since he chose to start this chess game, then I won't let him quit so easily."

Long Mu saw that Yun Yazi still had a worried expression, and said with a smile: "My senior brother, I just want him to find out, and if he finds out, he will understand that I am still laying out, and Long'er will not let me down." ”

Yun Yazi didn't say anything more, sighed and said: I hope that the junior brother's calculation this time is not wrong, otherwise it will not only be a matter of the Immortal Yin Sect.
