Chapter 6: Becoming a Martial Artist

Under the simple pergola, Dugu Yi looked at Qin Qin who was sitting next to him with eyes as hot as the scorching sun in the desert, and the eagerness and desire in his heart were really difficult to hide. He was only twelve years old, he had already asked countless people, but none of them were willing to accept him as an apprentice, and today, Qin Qin finally handed over an extremely precious cultivation method to him, and this exercise was still from the hand of the supreme powerhouse Martial Saint.

Qin Qin had just sat down on the wooden box when Dugu Yi asked, "Can you start?"

"Hmm. Qin Qin nodded lightly and handed a small wooden branch used as a pen to Dugu Yi. "Write down the words you don't know one by one. ”

"Well, good. Dugu Yi eagerly and carefully opened the nameless exercises, but was stunned when he saw them.

"What's wrong?"

"Uh...... I don't know any of the words on it. Dugu Yi lowered his head with a red face, because he had said that he knew something before.

"Let's start with the first one. Qin Qin seemed to have expected this, so she didn't show anything unusual except for a faint smile on her face.

"Hmm. Dugu Yi nodded again, and began to 'draw' the words in the fine sand in the same way.

At this point, the two also entered the literacy class. Every time Dugu Yi drew a word, Qin Qin began to explain the interpretation and meaning to him and asked him to repeat it over and over again in the sand, until he understood and remembered, Qin Qin would let Dugu Yi move on to the next one.

The precocious Dugu Yi made Qin Qin a lot easier to teach, but when she encountered individual words that were difficult to remember or difficult to understand, Dugu Yi finally knew Qin Qin's strictness, although she didn't hit anyone, but her eyes were enough to leave a shadow in Dugu Yi's heart, in this regard, Dugu Yi could only sigh in her heart: Even in the face of a fierce and hungry beast, there is no terrible look in your eyes!

After studying carefully for half an hour, Dugu Yi stopped continuing to draw, and the only left eye that could see things was staring closely at the pages of the nameless exercises, and asked, "Qin Qin, I already understand the meaning of this first mantra, can I try it now?"

"No, I can't. Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Qin poured a basin of cold water on Dugu Yi, who was eager to try.

"Why?"

"When you are hungry and thirsty, I will only give you a drop of water, do you accept it, or do you refuse?" Qin Qin didn't look at Dugu Yi when he said this, he drew a drop of water in the sand, and then drew a big circle to surround the water droplet.

"Your metaphor is so vivid that I will never forget it. Of course, Dugu Yi, who is familiar with hunger and thirst, understands that at this time, a drop of water will not do anything at all, but will only make people more uncomfortable. It's not that Dugu Yi doesn't understand what Qin Qin said, it's just that with such a precious cultivation technique in his hand, who doesn't want to start cultivating as soon as possible?

Qin Qin looked at Dugu Yi, who lowered his head, and continued: "And cultivating Yuan Power itself is different from eating and drinking, if it is not coherent, it will only damage your meridians, and it is not impossible to even die." ”

"I got it, let's move on. ”

Dugu Yi obediently gave up the idea of trying, and focused on literacy.

After dinner, the caravan, after a day's rest under the scorching sun, finally continued on its way.

"You have a good rest. Dugu Yi looked at Qin Qin with a tired face, and felt a sense of guilt in his heart, thinking that she had taught herself for a day under the scorching sun and wind and sand, Dugu Yi felt a trace of pity in her heart, and also produced a warm current that she had not had in nine years.

"I know. Qin Qin nodded slightly, and said, "Don't let me call you again tomorrow, you will come by yourself when the caravan stops." ”

"Well, good. Dugu Yi remembered what happened when he just woke up today, and his face turned red as soon as he nodded, so he immediately turned around and fled in a panic.

Looking at Duguyi's back running away in a panic, a smile full of meaning also appeared on Qin Qin's pretty face.

It was only at this time that the female martial arts behind Qin Qin Ya opened her mouth and asked, "Miss, why are you so good to him?"

As Qin Qin's personal maid, IELTS naturally knows what Qin Qin is like on weekdays, Qin Qin will not say a word to anyone in the family, but today he is so careful to teach Dugu Yi to learn words, how can this not surprise and puzzle IELTS?

When Qin Qin heard this, she moved her gaze from Duguyi's back to the cloudless sky, and said with emotion in a tone that did not match her age: "He...... Maybe it can fulfill the wish I made a long time ago, I've been waiting for him for a long, long time, and this time it will be ......"

"Miss's wish?" The two martial arts sects all looked at Qin Qin in amazement, they didn't know what Qin Qin's wish was, they didn't know why her wish needed others to fulfill, and they didn't understand where she saw that this young man who wasn't even a martial artist could help her realize it.

"Yes. Qin Qin smiled lightly, but the expression on his face immediately turned cold again. "But now I'm keeping a certain distance from him. ”

After Qin Qin finished speaking, he entered the carriage alone, leaving the two maids in confusion.

Look at the other side.

As soon as Huan Ming saw Dugu Yi coming back, he immediately came up, put his arm around Dugu Yi's shoulders, and asked with great interest, "Boy, how are you getting along with Miss Qin?"

"It's fine. Dugu Yi tried to push Huan Ming away from the pressure on his body, but the difference in strength made him helpless.

Although Dugu Yi had a cold attitude and wanted to get rid of Huanming's arm, Huanming didn't care about this, and still asked enthusiastically, "Tell me what you did all day today?"

Dugu Yi gave up after trying a few times and failed to push Huanming away, looked back at Qin Qin's carriage, and asked impatiently: "Aren't you able to see this distance?"

“......”

Huan Ming wanted to say something more, but Chang Jun rode over and said, "Huan Ming, we should go too." ”

Hearing Chang Jun's voice, Dugu Yi turned his head and glared at him fiercely, if it weren't for the fact that he moved himself to Qin Qin's carriage without authorization, that embarrassing thing wouldn't have happened, fortunately, Qin Qin is not an ordinary girl who is easy to be shy, and she didn't care, otherwise if she was annoyed by that incident, she wouldn't be able to get the mysterious exercises, and she wouldn't teach herself to read and write.

Chang Jun twisted his head to the side, not only turning a blind eye to Dugu Yi's angry eyes, but also with a playful smile on his face.

"Come on. On the carriage that had already begun to move, Haiyan stretched out her arm to Dugu Yi.

Dugu Yi finally 'hummed' to Chang Jun before raising his hand to Haiyan's palm, and after boarding the carriage, he ignored others and sat alone with his eyes closed; Chang Jun and the three of them no longer talked to him, although the three of them couldn't hear the conversation between Dugu Yi and Qin Qin during the day, they could also see that Qin Qin was teaching Dugu Yi to read, so they knew that Dugu Yi might be memorizing the words he just learned today.

In this way, Dugu Yi would go to Qin Qin when the caravan stopped during the day, and returned to Changjun when the caravan set off in the afternoon. Of course, the caravan also had to stop in the second half of the night when the cold was unbearable, but at night Qin Qin had to rest, and Dugu Yi also had to review what he had learned during the day.

Seven days flew by.

Dugu Yi found out for the first time that the time was very short, and he only remembered more than a hundred words, and a day passed. Why did I feel that every day was so long that I didn't know how many times I would wake up hungry when I slept during the day, and how many times I would be thrown rocks by many ignorant children when I walked...... to wait until the sun goes down.

......

This night, after the caravan stopped, Dugu Yi quietly came to the back of the sand dunes not far from the caravan alone.

Dugu Yi looked around and carefully took out the exercise cheats from his arms.

"It's time to try it today. ”

Although the cheats are very thick and there are many words, because many of the words are repeated, Dugu Yi can now roughly understand the first half of the nameless exercises. Although Qin Qin hadn't said that he could cultivate, Dugu Yi really couldn't bear it, so he could only look at Baoshan Kong and sigh at this torment.

After turning the first page and taking a closer look at it with the help of the bright moonlight tonight, Dugu Yi sat cross-legged in the sand as mentioned above, and began to try to condense the Yuan Force in his body.

"There it is!"

In less than five minutes after following the mantra on the first page, Dugu Yi noticed that a warm energy had been generated in his abdomen like a flame in the cold winter, and like a thirsty body nourished by a spiritual spring, there was a faint red halo under his clothes.

But with Qin Qin's previous warning, Dugu Yi didn't dare to stop his luck no matter how excited he was in his heart, and as the energy mass in his body gradually became larger, Dugu Yi's face gradually became ruddy.

Not only that, Dugu Yi also felt that the air around him was sucked towards him, and this feeling was indescribably familiar, as if he had practiced this kind of exercise a long time ago, although this feeling was only for a moment, Dugu Yi was sure that it was not his illusion.

Dugu Yi forcibly suppressed his excitement and doubts until he finished practicing all the formulas of the first weight of the cheats before stopping, and after confirming that there was indeed Yuan Li in his body, he looked up at the night sky and shouted, "I ......"

Dugu Yi shouted, and remembered that there were others behind the dunes, so he buried his face in the sand, regardless of whether the sand would enter his mouth, and shouted to the ground: "I Dugu Yi became... Military... ...... in vain"

Before Dugu Yi finished speaking, his mouth was filled with sand, but the excitement in his heart did not subside because of this, and he turned over and rolled his body ecstatically in the sand without shouting.

It wasn't until he was tired that Dugu Yi knelt in the sand, and comically began to spit out while using his fingers to clear the sand from his mouth and nostrils.

"Whew, whew, whew......"

After Dugu Yi cleaned the sand in her nose and mouth and on her face, her excited heart calmed down a little, and some questions immediately surfaced in her mind: Hearing Qin Qin say that it was almost impossible to condense Yuan Li the first time, she had never heard of someone who succeeded the first time, so why did she succeed? And it took a short time, was it the reason for this nameless exercise, or was it her own reason? And what was the sense of familiarity that arose at that moment?

Pursuing the root of the problem in this way, an unrealistic thought flashed through Duguyi's mind: "Are you a genius?"

Dugu Yi immediately shook his head and denied this thought, Qin Qin has said many times in the past few days that he is 'stupid', this is too far away from genius, but how to explain the familiarity of that moment? Could it be that this exercise itself has such particularity?

"Forget it, I'll ask Qin Qin tomorrow. Dugu Yi gave up thinking that it was impossible to have results, no matter what caused him to step into the ranks of cultivators so quickly, all he should do was to practice hard, he could only strive to become a strong man, no matter what he did, if he didn't have the strength, he would only be trampled under the feet of others after all.

Thinking of Qin Qin, Dugu Yi also wanted to tell her the news that he had become a martial artist immediately, but he thought that it was too late now, and today also made Qin Qin tired for a day, and they were three women in the same carriage, Dugu Yi had no choice but to give up, but he still thought about telling her early tomorrow morning.
