Chapter 20 Finding People, Learning Martial Arts, and Finding Flowers
The king of brave soldiers, but in the end he became a tragic hero.
A few years ago, during a great battle against pure-blooded desolate beasts, Nie Shi accidentally fell into a siege. After several days of hard fighting, he was defeated and the Yuan wheel was shattered. Since then, he can no longer carry his strength and exert his strength, not only does he not have the ability of a soldier king, but he is not even as good as an ordinary martial artist, Nie Shi knows that it is not interesting to stay in the army, so he took the initiative to quit the army.
When Zhong Jing and Ziying first met Nie Shi, he was already a drunkard who had died of a drunken dream, and was beaten up in the street because he had no money to pay the bill. If Zhong Jing hadn't come to the rescue, I was afraid that he would have been disabled.
With the knowledge of the wandering wolf guard, Zhong Jing could naturally see that Nie Shi was a person in the army, and he couldn't bear to be so drunk. Although Nie Shi ignored Zhong Jing, what kind of person Zhong Jing was, with both soft and hard, he finally forced Nie Shi to fight with him, naturally, he did not use the power of a martial artist.
The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, after that, Nie Shi became friends with Zhong Jing and his wife, although Zhong Jing has the surname and Nie Shi Shaoyan, the surnames of the two are not very different, but they are both straightforward people, and they are both literate and martial, and soon became friends with Mo Zhi.
Under the encouragement of Zhong Jing, Nie Shi tried his best to find another way to create a special martial arts method. Although you can't perceive the external strength, internal strength, and innate strength, and then become a martial artist, you can use the martial arts cultivated by Nie Shi's ability to use this method to fight with people who have just entered the realm of martial artists, and they will not fall behind at all.
Zhong Jing and Ziying also tried this method, originally planning to see if they could corroborate each other with their martial arts, and to improve their martial arts, but because they had Yuan Wheel, they couldn't comprehend the different power methods in Nie Shi's method, so they had to give up.
Nie Shi worked hard and continued to practice new methods, but after a few years, he found that this method seemed to have no further possibility, and at most he could only restore less than half of the strength he had in his heyday. Nie Shi racked his brains and searched all kinds of martial arts techniques, but he still couldn't find a way.
After another two years like this, Nie Shi only felt that there was no hope, although he still practiced martial arts, his eyes had lost their luster, and he regarded martial arts as a numb habitual surname. People who originally spoke little became even more cold-spoken, like a stone.
This time, no matter how Zhong Jing provoked him, it had no effect. So Zhong Jing recommended Nie Shi to follow the current right minister, Zhong Shuli, the head of the Three Arts Academy, to cultivate the surname of Wenyang, Nie Shi is already indifferent to anything, what Zhong Jing says, he will do. More than two years ago, the master of Ningshui County Academy was transferred to the court to assist Zhong Shuli, and Nie Shi took this position.
After Zhong Jing's death, Zi Ying met Nie Shi and told him about Zhong Jing's death. When Nie Shi heard this, he was furious, and he practiced martial arts for several days regardless of it.
Zi Ying thought that he would cheer up, but soon found that the Mu Ran in his eyes had not changed at all, and he practiced so wildly, but it was just to vent. Disappointed, Ziying left the Three Arts Academy, and then quietly went to Bailong Town in the north of Ningshui County.
Three months ago, Ziying told Xie Qingyun about Nie Shi and proposed to let him follow Nie Shi to practice martial arts, but the young man only thought about it for a long time and refused.
Of course he is happy to be able to practice martial arts, Xie Qingyun has always hoped that there can be a way in this world, so that he can ignore the Yuan Wheel and let him practice martial arts like ordinary people.
But following such a stone man to practice martial arts, he may not be able to succeed, he is unwilling. What's more, the situation of the family is very bad, his mother is getting weaker and weaker, and he wants to follow any of the carpenter, the big pharmacist, and the big cook, so as to earn money to support the family as soon as possible and reduce the burden on his father.
Although she is a teacher, Ziying does not want to force Xie Qingyun in this matter.
However, another incident made Xie Qingyun change his attention.
In the past two years, Zi Ying has flipped through many of Zhong Jing's books in order to investigate the mystery of the divine soul, but there have been no clues, but she has accidentally discovered a method for treating cold poison, which is specifically aimed at various cold qi entering the body, and naturally includes the cold qi of the desolate beast ice tiger in Xie Qingyun's mother.
It is mentioned in the book that if you want to cure the poison of the world's yin and cold, you must find the things that are the most yang and the hottest, and use the martial artist Lingyuan to attract the surname of the yang poison into the body, and fight the poison with poison. And the herb that has this supreme yang to hot poisonous surname is called the extreme yang flower.
However, the book does not mention where the polar yang peanut is, only that the growth environment of the polar yang flower is harsh, and there must be fierce mountains and rivers near it, which is very difficult to find. Zi Ying thought that the academy had a rich collection of books, and perhaps there was a text that recorded the polar yang flower.
If he could really find clues and know the location of the extreme yang flower, Ziying would be willing to go and help Xie Qingyun's mother find this flower. She has traveled with Zhong Jing to many poor mountains and bad waters, and wild beasts, and if she wants to travel far, she has rich experience.
However, since the catfish beast was killed, the purple baby's injuries have worsened, and it will be difficult to recover within ten years. If you look for it recklessly, not to mention those powerful wild beasts, they are ordinary wild beasts, and the purple baby is difficult to be an opponent, I am afraid that if the flower is not found, it will die.
But if Xie Qingyun can learn Nie Shi's skills and be able to deal with ordinary desolate beasts, as long as he finds out where the extreme yang flower is, he can search for flowers with her, and with the experience of Ziying, he can avoid some powerful desolate beasts, although he also has to go through all kinds of difficulties, but his hope is several times greater.
Ziying mentioned this matter to Xie Qingyun, and the young man immediately made up his mind to enter the academy to seek martial arts and medicine.
After listening to Xie Qingyun's long-winded but incomparably detailed narration. Nie Shi was still frowning, but the thick blood qi had already dissipated.
"In that case, why didn't you take out the token and recognize me earlier?" Nie Shi asked.
Xie Qingyun scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Although I know that Senior Nie is in the academy, but the senior said that the identity of the senior cannot be confirmed without seeing the silence room." Even if Shi Niang saw her predecessors once more than two years ago, there are many strange things in this world, if you meet an imposter and expose your identity, won't you cause a big disaster. ”
Regarding Xie Qingyun's caution, Nie Shi was neither praising nor angry: "Since I am willing to teach you, why do you bother to take out the wolf order again? Don't you think that with this relationship, I will take care of you more?!"
Xie Qingyun shook his head and said truthfully: "My predecessors don't want to teach me, so I'm just a master of the academy who wants to drive me away, so why should I take out a token to recognize me." And my predecessors are willing to teach me, that is, they can help me find the benefactor of the extreme yang flower to save my mother, and I don't tell the truth to the benefactor, which is my disrespect. ”
"The words are sharp, and they are very similar to your master. Nie Shi didn't have any expression, and answered.
Interrupted by Nie Shi, the little boy had not finished speaking, and then said: "In addition, Shi Niang also said that if you don't know who I am, you are willing to teach me, and you will do your best to teach me." Otherwise, if you take the token directly to ask for it, it is a bit of a picture with a friend, which is not very good. ”
Hearing this, Nie Shi was displeased: "The little girl is very delicate, but she also underestimated my old Nie." As long as you are Brother Zhong's apprentice, if you want me to teach, how can I refuse!"
"Little girl?" Xie Qingyun was a little confused, although the master is very beautiful, but she is only the beauty of a woman, if she is about the same age as Nie Shi in appearance, how can she say that she is a girl, and how can she say that she is a little girl.
Thinking so in my heart, I naturally can't mention it on my lips. Xie Qingyun answered Nie Shi's question seriously: "Shi Niang knows that the seniors will say this, and she said that if the seniors are still the previous Nie Shi, she will naturally do her best." But the predecessors have now forgotten who they are, when they are a stone, they have long lost the original spirit that even if the Yuan Wheel is broken, they are still fearless and have created a set of unique learning. Even if such a Nie Shi sees the wolf order, his heart is numb and wooden, how can he teach him to the best of his heart. ”
"The master said that if the disciple can think of ideas to arouse the lost heart of the seniors and let the seniors voluntarily teach me, then this matter can be regarded as a real success. But if the predecessors fail to change back to the previous Nie Shi, then there is no point in practicing martial arts with the seniors. This time when he came to the academy to study, the disciples had to do three things, one of which was to find the soldier king Nie Shi. Second, the soldier king Nie Shi practiced martial arts. Third, find the scroll with the polar yang flower and find the clue of the polar yang flower. ”
"If you can't find the king of soldiers, it's not interesting to practice martial arts. I can't find the king of soldiers, and I know where the polar yang flower is, and I can't go there. These three things will eventually fall on the soldier king Nie Shi, and if the first thing is not successful, the rest will not be completed. ”
only mentions the soldier king Nie Shi, not the master Nie Shi, the little boy means that he came to find the former Nie Shi, not the later stone.
The reason why he didn't tell the people in the town about coming to the academy to ask for martial arts, and even his father and mother didn't tell him, was because Ziying understood that the king of soldiers had never wanted people to know, and after his Yuan wheel was shattered, he created a special martial art.
The second and more important point is that Zi Ying wants to get back to the former Nie Shi. If this matter is spread out, and he is accidentally heard by Nie Shi, who often goes to the Wuhua Restaurant in the county town to fight tooth sacrifices, no matter how sincere Xie Qingyun is, it is easy to be regarded as deliberate by Nie Shi, so how can he touch Nie Shi and help him find the spirit of daring to fight with the destiny of heaven.
As soon as the words came out, Nie Shi was already stunned. The little boy left him alone, but sat there and waited.
