Chapter Twenty-Eight: Master and Apprentice
If anyone can look down on Panlong Town from the sky, they will find out. At the moment when Zhong Li's golden vertical pupils opened, all the things and lights and shadows in the town dimmed in an instant, but the direction of the school suddenly brightened.
In the teaching room, the old man who drove the car frowned when the low whistle sounded, and his face did not have the calmness and calmness of the previous two juniors when they competed in martial arts, and when Zhong Li was ready to fully open his eyes, the old man could no longer sit still, jumped out of the window, and with a wave of his left hand, he threw the black cloak he was wearing into the air, like a dark cloud, blocking the light of the sun directly on Zhong Li, his right hand reached out to his sideburns, cut off a strand of white hair, and then used the hair as a sword to stab Zhong Li's head!
At this time, the girl with golden vertical pupils had completely lost human features in her eyes, and it seemed that her sobriety and sanity were gradually fading, and when she found that the old man had stabbed her white hair with a sword, she immediately took her eyes off Zhao Xifeng and looked into the air.
The low beast roar that had been lingering in everyone's ears suddenly became clear and audible.
The girl's face was hideous and she roared, and two golden rays of light shot out of her eyes to meet the sword stabbed out by the old man in black from top to bottom, just when the golden light and the white hair were about to intersect, the old man threw out a cloud of black clothes that just covered the sun, and Zhongli's originally hideous face shook for a while. The light in his eyes also weakened.
The old man took advantage of the situation and stabbed his white hair on the back of Zhong Li's neck, the girl's body went soft, the light in her eyes faded, she fell to the bottom of the sound, and fell asleep.
The old man who drove the car landed beside Zhong Li, put the black cloak that fell from the sky on Zhong Li, untied the hairband to cover the girl's eyes, and then picked up the girl horizontally and walked towards the black carriage parked outside the school.
When he was halfway through, the old man suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned his back to Zhao Xifeng and said: "The little master said, if you win her, tell you her identity, since she fainted at the moment, then the old man will tell you, you listen, my little master's name is Zhong Li, and she is the most beloved young daughter of the head of the sect, as for what sect the Huangji Sect is, you go and ask Mr. Qian to say goodbye." ”
After saying that, he left quickly, leaving Zhao Xifeng to stand alone in the middle of the small courtyard, and after a while, all the students in the side hall of the school rushed out, cheering and throwing Zhao Xifeng into the air.
In the teaching room, Qian Fuzi looked at the direction of the black carriage leaving, his brows were tightly locked, and he was thoughtful.
Zhong Li didn't come to the school again for a few days, according to Qian Fuzi, it was because he used some kind of secret method at the last moment of the fight with Zhao Xifeng, and he needed to adjust and recuperate for a while, but everyone in the school only felt that it must be the little girl who hurt face, after all, in the whole process of the competition, Zhong Li was not seriously injured, but was slapped at the end.
On the other hand, Zhao Xifeng was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, not to mention bruises all over his body, and he was stigmatized by slapping a girl, but he still insisted on coming to the school every day.
It is strange to say that it took only three days for Zhao Xifeng to fully recover from the skin trauma on his body, which surprised everyone.
In the next few days, Zhao Xifeng defeated Zhong Li's prestige established in the side hall of the school, and with Qian Fuzi's lethargic Mengxue course, it quickly disappeared with the long-overdue cultivation course. If it weren't for Zhao Xifeng's injury teaching, everyone would have started the next stage of cultivation and learning, and it was such a beautiful teaching. I heard that the Beiyue Academy has already begun to teach the truly lethal Fa Decision.
One day in late April, Zhao Xifeng changed into a light practice uniform, walked out of the house, and came to the small temple at the south gate of the town.
At the entrance of the small temple, the dry sea monk stood with a smile and waited for a long time.
Looking at the children walking step by step in the distance, after the test between life and death at the beginning of the year, they still have clear and bright eyes and an increasingly mature demeanor, and their hearts are full of gratification, not only for the growth of the teenager, but also for a deceased person who is no longer alive.
Behind the dry sea, is the peach tree that has accompanied Zhao Xifeng for many years, since the year of the star tide, every April at this time, the peach blossom has already woken up from a deep sleep in autumn and winter, blooming a colorful tree, and this year is still dead and silent.
The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms of the dragon have not bloomed.
Today, Zhao Xifeng has an appointment with Kuhai, and the old monk will continue to teach Zhao Xifeng the nine movements that the young man has not fully mastered before he was injured.
Although Zhao Xifeng had successfully taken care of his body, Kuhai still insisted that Zhao Xifeng practice this technique.
According to Kukai, this set of movements was originally a family tradition of a certain family in Kyoto, and the old monk and one of the younger members of the family were old friends, and there was an agreement between the two to find a suitable successor for each other, so they exchanged a set of practice exercises.
Now, the deceased has passed away, but this set of exercises has remained. And the dry sea taught it to Zhao Xifeng, so strictly speaking, Zhao Xifeng should be the heir of the old man in the dry sea.
Zhao Xifeng is not interested in these twists and turns, he just patted his chest and promised that in the future, no matter what danger and predicament this family encounters, he will help him, after hearing this, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he didn't say anything, just nodded.
At this time, Zhao Xifeng didn't know what his promise meant to the future Great Zhou Dynasty and even the entire Central Continent.
"These nine movements given to you by the monk are not so much a set of exercises as a set of body methods. Kuhai said slowly, "Practitioners accumulate true elements in the process of movement by changing their posture and form, and increase the speed of body movement through the flow of true elements. ”
Kuhai stood under the peach tree, and every time he said a formula, he made corresponding movements. Zhao Xifeng watched carefully from the side, and laughed out loud when the old monk was in front of him, and said jokingly: "Master, if I suddenly look like a cat or a puppy when I am fighting against someone, then I don't need to fight, and I will die of laughter." ”
The speaker was unintentional, but Kuhai thought of Zhao Yuzhen's true intention when he taught him this set of body methods, and also said to him: "Great monk, you are too wooden, and it is not interesting to teach you this set of gadgets, at least let you be innocent and lively when learning animals." ”
So Kuhai stopped his movements, walked under the tree, touched Zhao Xifeng's head and said with a smile: "Little donor, remember that when you are an enemy with someone, don't think about anything other than life and death in your heart, and even put life and death aside, if you can live, what posture does he use?"
Zhao Xifeng said "um" and nodded in response.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and after Zhao Xifeng took a look at his body, his ability to control his body reached a new level, six of the nine movements could be completely made, and only the last three were still clueless, because he had never seen an eagle, nor a bear, let alone a tiger. Even if there was a dry sea to guide him, he couldn't grasp the charm in it, so he had to give up for the time being.
After the practice, Zhao Xifeng still completed today's physical exercise under the peach tree, and then tidied up his clothes, ran and jumped and walked home.
Kuhai watched Zhao Xifeng disappear under the city wall of the town, and said to the small temple: "When you meet Zhao Xiaoshi in the town, it is the cause and effect of many years ago, and accepting you as an apprentice for the teacher is to create a sin with your own hands, and all the karma in the future will be borne by the teacher, so you don't have to take it to heart."
In the small temple, a thin figure nodded vigorously and knelt down.
