Chapter 12 is recorded in the thick of the water
The old man stared at Lu Xun and said in a condensed voice: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't say it, Lu Xun, since it's you, then I'll tell you frankly, yes, there is a manuscript of "Miao Shui Hou Tu Lu" in the academy. However, this secret book, even the most powerful Qushi patriarch in the academy has never practiced it. What I and the elders mean is to find a very talented disciple, preferably a disciple who can cultivate both water and earth, of course, Tu Keshui, it is indeed very difficult to find such a person, and it may not be possible to produce one in a thousand years. However, if you can, it is okay to practice for two extremely talented disciples, one to cultivate water and the other to cultivate earth. So far, though, there have been no suitable candidates. ”
"If this person, or these two people, you give them the Records of the Thick Earth, you can't give them so generously, what do you want them to do?" said Russon.
The old man was silent for a moment and said, "I don't want them to do anything, I just hope that they will become the eternal talents of Hanshan Academy and revitalize Hanshan Academy." Lu Xun, although the Hanshan Academy is still the most outstanding academy in the Hanba Empire, and even the Linglan Continent, our academy has declined compared to the past. With the help of the Thirteen Emperors, our Hanshan Academy became the cradle of the warriors and qu warriors of the Linglan Continent, and it became the origin of war skills and war songs, the spirit of Hanshan Academy, the culture of Hanshan Academy, spread to every corner of the mainland, and Hanshan Academy represents the pinnacle of war songs and war skills......"
“...... But, now, we have declined, after the elimination of the True Five Holy Clans, the Heavenly Temple dominates, and after the Heavenly Temple, there is Guyun Peak, and the brilliance of our Hanshan Academy is fading day by day. I hope that in my lifetime, I can revitalize and carry forward Hanshan College. The old man picked up the cup on the table, took a sip, and looked at the tea in the cup in contemplation.
Lu Xun disagreed, glanced at his mouth, and said: "Old ghost, what is wrong with you, the Heavenly Temple and Guyun Peak are different from our Hanshan Academy, they control the situation in the world, and are linked to the power of the world, we are purely spreading culture, we are an academy, not a sect, the purpose of our existence, as conceived by the Hanshan scribes, bears the responsibility of spreading war skills and war songs, as for which sect in the world is the largest, which sect is the loudest, what does it have to do with us." Besides, what are you not satisfied ......with about Hanshan Academy?"
“...... Are there still few students who graduate from here every year, and there are already quite a few people from the department, who are also prominent and famous, not to mention, don't you still have that old immortal? In terms of strength, Guyun Peak and Heavenly Temple are not necessarily much stronger than us. What kind of nerves do you have, do you want Hanshan Academy to win the power? Hmph, this kind of thought, you pull it down, don't say I don't agree, even if I agree, I'm afraid that the old immortal won't agree. Russon said.
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't have the ambition to win power, and I don't want Hanshan Academy to become a problem like Guyun Peak and Heavenly Temple, you are right, we are purely spreading the culture of warriors and qu warriors. However, if we continue to decline, will we still be able to shoulder the responsibility of spreading the culture of warriors and qushi? Although there are indeed many outstanding students who have graduated from our academy.
“...... However, after all, we still lack a strong person like Fernantrus, and one less scholar who can make our academy really rise. Over the years, Fernantrus has indeed helped us a lot, but after all, he does not belong to the Cold Mountain Academy, he belongs to himself......"
“...... That's right, we have peerless figures like Bai Lao, but, Bai Lao has never asked about worldly things, and the revitalization and decline of the academy have nothing to do with him, he is just a bystander, he is just a passing of the Hanshan scribes, and he will not participate in us. I hope that in the future, the academy will be able to produce a talent like Fernantras to take up the burden of the academy that has been a long time coming. I hope that one day, the academy will once again be the cradle of samurai and kogan. If talent like Fernanstras is hard to find, talent like Le Yi can. The old man said.
Lu Xun smiled and said: "That's your business, it's none of my business, you can think about it yourself, you slowly want to break your head, and one day you will figure it out." ”
The old man didn't care about Lu Xun's schadenfreude, he had long been accustomed to Lu Xun's surname, he stared at Lu Xun and said, "You asked me for the manuscript of "Miao Shui Hou Tu Lu", do you have a better candidate. What you have learned is already remarkable, and in the academy, you are also a well-ranked person. You don't pass on your own things to him, but you ask me for a manuscript of "Miaoshui Houtulu", I want to hear your reasons. ”
Lu Xun was silent for a moment, and finally, said: "I am not arrogant in my ability, if a very good disciple learns from me, I will not mistake people's children, but that child, should not follow me to learn the active attack war song, this is too wasteful of his talent, I think about it, in the academy, only a secret book can be worthy of his talent, that is, "Miao Shui Hou Tu Lu". ”
"Is it really that good?" the old man was stunned for a moment, although Lu Xun was not serious, but those eyes were absolutely sharp.
"Old ghost, I treat you as a friend, I tell you, but you are not allowed to publicize it. That kid can be a fellow practitioner of the five lines, and he can also be a fellow practitioner of warriors and qushi!" Lu Xun said with a solemn face.
"Bang-" The teacup in the old man's hand fell to the ground and shattered, his body trembled, and said, "Really, you are not mistaken. ”
"Yes, it's true. Russon said.
"Russon, such a good genius, you should bring him back to the academy!" said the old man solemnly.
However, Lu Xun immediately refused, and said: "No, old ghost, I will not hand over this child to you, I don't want him to carry your ghost things on his shoulders! He is a genius, I hope he can grow freely like a tree, not pruned by others! A genius like him should not be used by others to cultivate a talent, he just needs to grow freely!"
"You—" The old man was furious with Russon.
Lu Xun said in a deep voice: "Old ghost, let me make it clear to you, this child, he can't be the kind of person you imagined, I don't allow you to train him as your successor! Old ghost, although you are very powerful, but the restrictions of the sect and the prejudice of the sect cannot make this child receive better opportunities in the future, so I will definitely not let him become your successor, let him stay in Hanshan Academy forever, the outside world is bigger, he needs more space in the future, not just in Hanshan Academy......"
“...... Old ghost, I'll tell you frankly, you can learn well, and a few elders can learn well. However, he is not qualified to be his lifelong master, in this world, no one is qualified to be his lifelong master, he needs the guidance of the great grandmaster, and he does not need to be restricted by the sect! So, old ghost, if you want to come to the real thing, our friends don't have to do it!" Lu Xun said solemnly.
If Yan San knew that Lu Xun loved him so much, he would be very moved.
"I will give him the "Records of Misty Water and Thick Earth", if I can, I will ask Fernantras to personally guide him, I have only one condition, let him become an eternal internal disciple of Hanshan Academy. The old man said.
If there were students in Hanshan Academy who knew that their dean had made such an incredible condition, they would be maddened with red eyes. Not only did he give Yan Sanxue the peerless secret of the Holy Demon Palace, but he also invited a strong person like Fernantras to personally guide him, which was simply making people crazy with jealousy, I was afraid that no student could have such treatment.
"No, I can't. Ruson immediately refused, and said in a deep voice: "Old ghost, I don't deny that Fernantrus is indeed very powerful, and there are very few people in this world who are stronger than him. However, I don't want him to be held back by Hanshan Academy for the rest of his life, he becomes a regular disciple of Hanshan Academy, and he will never have the opportunity to be guided by more powerful people in his life, because this is sectarian prejudice. The battle of the water system and the earth system of Fernantrus is far from satisfying him. ”
"Lu Xun, in this world, there are very few people who are stronger than Fernantrus, Xiao Shengyi is one, Xi Qingshang is one, Lu Yunfei who has not passed by for thousands of years is the same, and Bai Lao of our academy is one. Other than that, there is no one more powerful than them. Do you want the four great grandmaster-level people to fail to guide him? This is a very difficult thing. The old man said.
Lu Xun was silent for a while, and said: "Look at fate, if they see him, they will definitely be willing to point him out, because because he is such a genius, anyone will be moved." Old ghost, I am willing to exchange my dual cultivation method of water and fire for the "Miaoshui Thick Earth Record", and then add him to become a student of Hanshan Academy, but he is not an internal disciple. ”
"No, you should know that if it weren't for the disciples of the inner determination, I wouldn't be able to convince a few elders to pass on the "Records of the Thick Earth of Miao Shui" to him, this is impossible, and the "Records of the Thick Soil of the Thin Water" can only be passed on to the disciples of the inner determination. The old man said.
Lu Xun was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Old ghost, since you don't want to, I won't force it. I had already made plans before I came. I would like to submit my resignation to you. ”
"Do you want to leave Hanshan Academy?" the old man was stunned and said, "Over the years, although I haven't let you go to class, you are still a teacher in the academy, and I asked you to suspend class, just to let you study with peace of mind." ”
Lu Xun nodded and said: "I understand, old ghost, you have been taking care of me all these years, I know this very well in my heart, with a friend like you, I am very satisfied in my life." I want to leave the academy, not because of how the academy is, but because I want to stay by that child's side, he is like an infinite treasure, which will surely attract the coveted of countless people, I hope that with my meager strength, I can give him a little help, give him a little advice, and hope that he can get a better development. ”
The old man was silent.
"Of course, old ghost, if the academy can use me one day, you pass me a blank piece of paper, and I can serve the academy at any time. I've been in the academy for so long, and the academy has treated me well, and I should repay it. Russon said.
The old man was silent, and finally, he said: "Lu Xun, you resign, I pressed it down, you are still a teacher in the academy, since you want to stay by his side, stay here." As for the academy, I'll explain it to you. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, old ghost. Russon said.
The old ghost smiled and said, "Bring that kid with me when you have time." ”
Ruson nodded and said no more.
