Chapter 11: The Five Tribes
The school's morning class has always been the recitation of scriptures, and the second class is determined by the day's schedule, including lectures, arithmetic, etiquette and historical theory.
Joan is also the least good at arithmetic.
She hated the thief who stole people and horses in the scriptures, and asked her how far away she was from the lost owner to catch up; She hated the rats that pierced the holes, and asked her when the rats would meet; She hated not having a square field, and she hated building sculptures of all shapes...... In short, she genuinely hates arithmetic.
Now, in order not to return to Guangyang to sweep the fallen leaves for three years, Qiong is holding her heavier and heavier head, listening to Mr. in the hall and counting the bigger and bigger numbers.
Sweep the fallen leaves for three years......
The mountain behind Lujia is so big, such a long mountain step, when the ginkgo biloba is ripe in autumn, the leaves fall down one after another, how can it be swept away......
The ginkgo biloba leaves in autumn are very beautiful to clean up, and the pale golden ginkgo leaves hang on the trees......
The ginkgo stew made by Ah Luo is also very delicious......
Thinking about it, thinking about it, I was hungry, and the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more I patted my head, and found that the calculation chips on my desk could no longer keep up with Mr. 's rhythm. She sighed, knowing that she had been listening to it for a long time, and she was busy again.
Apart from arithmetic, Joan doesn't know anything else.
After an unknown amount of time, the arithmetic class finally ended.
Before he could rest his energy, a master with gray hair walked in with a scroll in his arms.
The classroom turned from hustle and bustle to silence, and the children consciously returned to their places in twos and threes.
Joan also already knew this master who taught history, he was friendly, his teaching style was very comfortable, and most importantly, she liked literature and history very much.
When the Master saw that the room was quiet and everyone was sitting precariously, he cleared his throat and began to lecture:
"Today, the content taught by the old man is the history of the five tribes."
"Since ancient times, Middle-earth has been sheltered by the four ancient tribes. The four ancient clans of the past were all founded by people who really climbed to the top on the way to cultivating and seeking immortals. ”
"The four ancient clans are, the Xie clan, the Sheng clan, the Yue clan and the Su clan."
"The ancestor of the Xie family refined poison and asked, and he was good at curing strange poisons, after breaking through the shackles and being promoted to a celestial, he created the double sword poison style, which was famous all over the world, and he also founded the sect, which is the Xie family of the frontier of the distant sand garrisoned today."
"The ancestor of the Sheng family is the first person in the ancient world to attain the Tao, and the current Luo Yao Baiyu is this celestial man who carries Wanyan to fill the mountain gap, he removes ghosts, calms yin and yang, and the world can get rid of the ghosts of the ages, thanks to this capable man."
Since then, the Sheng clan has stood on this mountain, suppressing evil spirits and clearing evil spirits. The Sheng's archery and swordsmanship that has been inherited has been continuously honed from generation to generation. ”
"Changtai Yue's clan is evolved from the Sui Zhu Pavilion that collects the world's treasures, the ancestors of the Yue clan lived in Beishan, at first practiced heavy swords and Mo knives, and then transformed into heavy swords in the hands of the ancestor who opened the temple, and founded a new school, which has continued to this day."
"Beishan was originally the watershed between the Demon Sect and the ten major sects in the rivers and lakes of Middle Earth, and after the Yue clan was established, the chaos between the Demon Sect and the various sects was finally pacified, and the people were able to live in peace."
"The Su clan was originally a family of etiquette in the south of the Middle River River, educating the people and teaching etiquette. Under the will of the suzerainty of the Li clan, my Su clan sheltered the people of Yichuan and spread the religion of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette. ”
"Su's foil, originally a prayer sword dance in the sacrifice, and was improved by several ancestors in later generations, which led to the current foil swordsmanship."
Qiong also listened to it with relish, but he didn't know which disciple in the class muttered: "Now that Middle Earth is the five major clans, why don't you talk about the Lu family......"
The master twisted his white beard and smiled lightly: "The old man is about to speak." ”
He was about to speak, but after a while, he asked, "Does any disciple know how the Lu clan was established and became the only clan among the four great ancient clans after the Hundred Families?" ”
Joan also immediately responded: "Sir, I know. ”
Seeing that a disciple immediately answered, the master raised his hand and said, "Please speak." ”
"Mr. Xie." Qiong also stood up: "The reason why the Lu clan can become one of the five clans today is because of the ancestor Lu Zhiyin. ”
She paused and continued: "When Middle-earth was surrounded by the four ancient clans and set up a defensive platform, Ancestor Lu was just an ordinary monk, he traveled to Middle-earth alone, and became a ranger. ”
"At that time, the world was not as stable as it is today, and demons and evil were everywhere, among which the most famous ones were the Ten Thousand Year Evil Jiao and the Infant Devouring Dao Cultivator. The four clans had worked together to form an army to encircle and suppress, but several times failed to succeed, in the whole world was disheartened, thinking that they were invincible demons, Lu Ancestor one person and one sword, slashed the evil Jiao, slaughtered the baby, and became famous all over the world, founded the sect. ”
"And the Lu clan's swordsmanship was created by the ancestor of this ranger, and its name is 'You Chasing'."
The master nodded: "Well, very good, the answer is methodical." Sit down. ”
Joan listened and sat back in her seat.
Su Ye suppressed his voice and smiled at the table in front of him: "Lu Xiyan, it's okay." ”
Joan didn't look back, but waved her hand and made a "yes" gesture.
When she looked up again, she met the black eyes of Sheng Xuanyan who was looking sideways slightly at the front table, and he immediately turned back.
"What is there to boast about, she is the Lu family herself, how her family arose, she must know ......"
"That is, when I talked about other families before, why didn't I see her? ……”
Joan also heard someone muttering her tongue and looked around, but she couldn't see which one was saying.
She secretly said to herself: I am not "the Lu family myself", besides, ask me which of the five clans and ten factions has the past historical sites, and I can tell you everything.
"Quiet!" The master knocked on the lectern: "It is not appropriate to talk privately in class, if you have any doubts, you can ask the old man after class." ”
After that, he continued to follow the content of the class in detail until the class ended.
After school.
Qiong Yi did not leave in a hurry, but healed the scar again and forgot the pain to complain to Sheng Xuan: "Sheng Gongzi." ”
Sheng Xuan looked back at her.
"Where's that puppy yesterday? You're not going to really lose it, are you? Joan was half-lying on the table, leaning over to look at him.
Didn't lose it, I brought it back.
Sheng Xuanyan thought like this, and smoothed it again in his heart, and then spoke: "No ......"
"No! He brought it back yesterday! Su Ye walked from behind and put his arm around Sheng Xuan's shoulder, with a surprised expression: "I mean, where did he pick up the puppies, it turned out that you gave it!" ”
Sheng Xuan's words were interrupted and swallowed back into his stomach silently.
"That's good!" Qiong Yi's eyes bent into crescent moons: "Although that puppy looks cute, it is very fierce!" If you raise it, you have to train it well, since Sheng Gongzi has raised it, I have nothing to do, I will come to see it again when I have the opportunity. ”
Su Ye arched the fire with a bad heart: "Look at Sheng Xuan's resentment? ”
"What, look at the puppy!" Joan was also slightly annoyed, and walked out the door with the book in her arms.
"Lu Xiyan, in the evening, I chartered a restaurant in the east of the town, called Binhong Pavilion, and invited a lot of classmates, why don't you also enjoy your face and have a drink?" Su Ye said with a smile.
Qiong also stopped and thought about it, and replied: "No, it's the time to practice on weekdays later, and I still have to practice, so I won't come." ”
"Don't you give this face? It's sad. Su Ye pretended to be sad and said, grabbing Sheng Xuan's grievances: "Come on, I don't care, you have to accompany me." ”
Seeing that the conversation was not on her, Joan also bowed slightly and left the school classroom.
*
The rejection of Su Ye's banquet was not because Qiong Yi was polite, nor because she didn't want to go, but because she really had to practice the exercises.
Among the cultivators of all ethnic groups and sects, which one did not start to build the foundation since childhood, and there are very few Taoists like Qiong Yi who only began to draw qi into the body after the age of ten and did not have any childlike skills.
After all, if you miss the best foundation building period, you will only be slower and far behind when you open your body and condense your qi in the future.
Unless it's a genius with great talent.
Qiong was able to catch up with the cultivation results of others in just five years, relying not only on her talent, but also on her diligent practice day after day.
Therefore, daily qi refining and swordsmanship are indispensable.
Qiong Yi was sitting on the bed in the inn room carrying the exercises, only to hear a rapid knock on the door outside the house, she slowly returned to the dantian with her true qi, opened her eyes, and thought: Who will disturb her cultivation, can know that she lives here, except for her junior brother Lu Li, it is her junior sister Yang Xiaosi.
Qiong also pushed open the door, and the person at the door was really her little junior sister, Yang Xiaosi.
"Senior sister!" Yang Xiaosi saw that Qiong also opened the door, and hurriedly called her, with a mysterious expression: "I'm here to tell you good news!" ”
Good news?
For Joan, moving out of this inn is great news.
She pulled Yang Xiaosi to the house: "Say it quickly, don't sell it to your senior sister." ”
Yang Xiaosi pushed her hand away again and again, only stood at the door and said, "Senior sister, don't you know?" It's that little boy Su in your classroom, who chartered the most luxurious restaurant in the town and invited all the children to dinner! ”
It turned out to be this thing.
Qiong also replied: "I naturally know, but your senior sister still has to cultivate, how can you have kung fu." She paused for a long time and continued: "Besides, most of the people who come to Yize to study are male disciples, and the female disciples are the most from our family. ”
"That's right! Senior sister, that's why I came to you! Yang Xiaosi nodded again and again, "I know it's not good to mix in a crowd of sons, so I want to have a companion with you!" ”
Joan also looked at her: "You want to go?" ”
Yang Xiaosi nodded.
Qiong also understood: "Lu Li's kid is gone!" ”
Yang Xiaosi nodded again.
"You!" Qiong also poked Yang Xiaosi's little head melon seeds: "What do you think in your head every day!" Why do you want to revolve around the landing! ”
"But I really want to see him more!" Yang Xiaosi took Qiong Yi's hand and shook it for a while, "Senior sister-you just go with me-I'll buy you sweet cakes when you go back, if the sweet cakes are not enough, I'll buy you snowflake cakes!" If the snowflake cake is not enough, I will buy you another gantang cake! ”
Qiong Yi is the most reliant on others, not to mention Yang Xiaosi's high price, his eyes like shallow grapes flowed in his sockets, and finally closed his eyes: "Okay, I promise you!" ”
Yang Xiaosi was overjoyed: "I know that the fifth senior sister is the best!" ”
Qiong Yi, the little junior sister, grew up with Lu Li, the two were childhood sweethearts, and I don't know when she started to fall in love with Lu Li out of control.
Qiong also didn't understand what was particularly attractive about Lu Li, who was also a little silly, but Yang Xiaosi could explain his goodness one by one. said that when he helped him remove the worms from his body; said that he and himself were punished by the master and encouraged each other; said that when he braved the heavy rain to deliver an umbrella to her on the top of the mountain...... She always felt that Lu Li was the best and most dazzling man in the world.
Joan could only sigh.
She asked Xiao Si again if she hated Lu Li.
Yang Xiaosi clenched his fists and said, of course, that is when Lu Li only treats him as his super reliable senior brother every time!
She doesn't want to be his junior sister at all, okay!
Qiong also patted Yang Xiaosi on the shoulder and said: Where there is a will, there is a way.
