Chapter 274: A Distant Answer

Because at the end of the path of the strongest there is nothing...... When Ruinon heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble, "Then didn't you stop him?"

"Stop, how could I have stopped him?" the nightmare smiled, "Besides, why should I stop him? If you say, 'Be content!' your swordsmanship is already strong, at least among the humans I've met, your swordsmanship and martial arts are the strongest." If this is a stop, then I can count as a contribution to you humans, but not so completely. ”

Chatting and chatting, the sun slowly rose over the eastern horizon after a long night.

Liu Shengyan pushed open the door and came out with a plate of clay embryos. His gaze only lingered on Ruinon's face for a moment, then he ignored it, and pinched the Tao to himself. In the face of Liu Shengyan's indifference, Rui Nong didn't care, his eyes were slightly closed, and he knelt quietly to the side, like a clay statue.

"If Yanagi continues to ignore him like this, will it be possible that the master will have to kneel for another day?" said Silver, hiding in the bushes on the other side of the river.

"Shhhh Erica covered Silver's mouth and whispered, "Maybe Master Liu is testing Ryanon's will and determination? I think Renon should understand this too, so he's taking the exam!"

"Oh?" Fiona and Silver, who were elves, didn't know what novels they were talking about, what unborn masters they were, and they just nodded as if they didn't understand.

"So we should follow Renon's wishes and cheer him on silently, but don't bother him. ”

"Good!"

It's almost noon. Liu Shengyan finally finished pinching a few pottery, got up and beat his waist, and swayed his back to the small kiln to prepare for a fire. During this time, he never glanced at Rainon, as if he were just a ball of transparent air.

"Yanagi Rock!" the nightmare called out to him.

"What's the matter?" Liu Shengyan's tone was flat, and he concentrated on the work in his hands, as if it was not the legendary monster that was talking to him, but an ordinary friend.

"You're so cold! That's your attitude toward an old friend you haven't seen in more than twenty years?"

Liu Shengyan slowly turned his head and said, "Good afternoon, nightmare!"

"That's kind of like a word. Saying that, Nightmare came to Yanagi Yan and asked, "Are you really unwilling to teach him swordsmanship?"

Liu Shengyan looked down for the flint and steel, and did not say a word.

"Hey!

"Hugh will mention it again!"

On the other side of the river, Erica and the others were crawling in the bushes, anxiously watching the situation ahead.

"Is there any progress?" Fiona asked anxiously.

"How can it be that fast?, but the nightmare seems to be putting pressure on Yanagi. Erica pinched the branches of the bush with her fingers and said, "The old man flickered and did not dare to look at the nightmare, it seems that he has a weak heart, and he must have a play." ”

Is it really as simple as Erica says? Obviously not, fiction is fiction, reality is reality. How can there be so many masters outside the world who have nothing to do and use this method to test the people who are apprenticing to the artist? Isn't this pretending to be 13? If they are really indifferent to fame and fortune and are quiet and far-reaching, they will not use this way of pretending to be 13 to test the apprentices, which insults the personality and dignity of the artists and lowers their own style. A real master of the world will use more intelligent means to investigate, and obviously Yanagi is not.

Another day passed, and Erica sat bored on the floor, playing cards and munching on melon seeds. Fiona yawned and lay down on her back, "Ahhh

"It's getting dark! Renon has been kneeling without eating or drinking for two days, but there is still no progress. Erica put away the messy playing cards, her face full of anxiety, "He's going to be fine, right? ”

"It's been two days...... Fiona got up, her beautiful eyes staring at the cabin on the other side of the river, with the elf's super-ordinary race vision, she could clearly see Ruinon's trembling body, "If you don't eat, drink or sleep like this, no matter how strong you are, you can't hold it!"

Silver burrowed her little head out of the bushes, "Silver, let's bring food and water to the master!"

"Let's go together!" said Erica, taking everyone by the hand.

As Fiona said, kneeling for two days without eating, drinking, or sleeping is unbearable for ordinary people, but Renon is not an ordinary person, and he still kneels quietly at the door of the cabin.

Hunger, thirst, fatigue...... Under these multiple blows, even if Ruinon's body was as strong as a dragon, and even if the strength of his spiritual power was outstanding, he was on the verge of collapse. The strong and muscular body trembled wildly, like a Parkinson's disease patient.

"Are you almost at the limit?" Nightmare paced back and forth behind Ruinon, "It's not the way to go on like this......"

"No matter what, I'm going to ...... Let him teach me swordsmanship......" Renon struggled to squeeze a slight sound out of his throat, only to feel that his throat was dry and burning.

"Even if you die on your knees here, he won't teach you swordsmanship. ”

Renon lowered his head and was silent.

"Ryanon!" Erica and the others arrived, "Eat something, drink something, or your body won't be able to hold on." ”

"Food...... Drink ......" Renon turned his head with difficulty, and a strong salty smell of meat poured into his nostrils.

Erica handed him a hot paper bag and a skin of water and said, "Eat!"

"Gollum ......" Renong's Adam's apple struggled to go up and down, as if it were a rusty piston. He held Erica's "love lunch" in his hand, and his body trembled violently.

"Why? don't you want to eat it?" Erica stared into his eyes quizzically.

"Eat...... Eat ......" Ruinon stammered speechless. His voice was soft, as if his vocal cords were knotted. Suddenly, Ruinon's eyes darkened, and he fell with his back to the sky and his face to the ground.

"Rynon!" Faintly, Rinon heard Fiona and Sylph exclaim.

The figures in the low wooden house swayed, and the candles trembled.

"It's all my fault...... It's all my ......" Erica squatted in the corner, her white teeth grinding her nails.

"It's not your problem, Erica, Rynon ......" Fiona came to Erica's side and comforted, "It's been two days, and he's going to be at his limit." ”

"He can't make it tonight. Yanagi brought a pot of hot ginger soup and said, "The food and water you brought were just a trigger to relax his already tense nerves." This is a good thing for him, and if he is barely allowed to hold on like this, he is afraid that it will cause great damage to his body. ”

"Really?" Erica asked, looking up, "Master Yanagi Yangwa, would you like to teach my brother swordsmanship?" ”

"Teach? I've never had that thought about it. ”

"Never?" Erica stood up in shock, "Aren't you testing Renon before?"

"Test?" Liu Shengyan said with a broken bowl and spoon, and poured hot ginger soup into Ruinon's mouth spoonful by spoonful, "Let the apprentice kneel at your door with a lazy face and beg you, and call it a test? ”

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" As the hot ginger soup flowed into his mouth, Ruinon coughed violently.

Seeing all of Rinong's reactions, Erica, Fiona, and Silver immediately smiled. "Ruinon!" they screamed and threw themselves at Ruinon's bed, "Ruinon, are you okay?

Liu Shengyan looked at everything in front of him and sighed and said, "Hey, the guy who was born in the blessing and doesn't know the blessing." ”

"I ...... I'm ......."

"You're in my house, you're still lying in my bed!" Liu Shengyan snorted dissatisfiedly, "If it weren't for your poor health and inconvenience, I would have kicked you out of the city a long time ago." I'll make an exception for you to stay overnight tonight, and hurry up and pack up your things early tomorrow morning and get out!"

"Master Yanagi Rock ...... Haven't you changed your mind?" said Rinon with a look of loss.

"Hmph!" Yanagi turned away from him.

"What are you saying that you won't teach?" the nightmare poked its head out of the candlelight.

Liu Shengyan didn't seem to be surprised at all by the sudden appearance of the nightmare, "I didn't teach him because I saw my past in his eyes, that ......kind of eyes that were infinitely eager for power," he said with a long sigh, "How can there be any strongest swordsmanship, the strongest martial arts! That's all deceiving himself, even if he really has, even if he does it, what's the use? It's just setting off another bloody storm." I don't want him to keep repeating my mistakes......"

"You've never found the strongest martial art, you've never been exposed to the strongest strength, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, okay?" Ruinon struggled to get up from the bed and said, "The strongest martial art, the strongest strength, is not so easy to be touched by us mortals." ”

"You've already come into contact with it?" Liu Shengyan said with a blank look at Ruinon, "Ten thousand steps back, even if you have that, what? You have spent your whole life pursuing this kind of illusory thing, even if you get it, what can you use it for? Stir up a bloody storm in Middle-earth, and then dominate the continent to rule the world? Yes, your desire is satisfied, but do you know how many innocent peace-loving people have suffered for this before this, wept and even gave their lives for it? This is not a good thing at all. ”

"I won't! I'm not interested in dominating the continent and dominating the world or anything. ”

"Then what do you want this kind of thing for?" Liu Shengyan sneered and handed the bowl to Ruinon and said, "Don't daydream, boy, drink this and go to bed quickly, and get out of the way early tomorrow morning." ”

"The amount of power is right, and the evil is evil...... The fault is not in the force itself, but in the person who uses it. I'm not a good person, but I'm by no means a bad person. Ruinon took the hot ginger soup and said.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Shengyan was suddenly stunned in place, the hand holding the bowl froze in mid-air, and everything in the past quickly swept through his mind, "What are you talking about? Why are you right? Why am I wrong? This is the answer I have come up with with my life!"

"I don't know what to do?"

"Can you send it away without knowing the way?"

"No one has ever touched it, so no one knows the way, does it? Because I don't know the way, I'm going to find the answer! Teach me martial arts, Master Yanagi Yang. ”
