Second Round: Beginning 1.4.3

Hai Zhi was full of joy and said happily: "Thank you so much for teaching me so many things...... " Before Hai Zhi finished speaking, Xia Qing immediately pinched his face with both hands and said: "You are here again, how can there be a younger brother in this world who always says kind words like 'thank you' to his sister!"

Haizhi nodded, she let go and said, Haizhi opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry!"

"You...... Are you angry with me!" Xia Qing put her hands on her waist and said very unhappily, "Okay, I won't tell you, we will go to school early tomorrow morning, you should rest early, otherwise I won't be polite to you if you sleep lazily like usual!" Haizhi looked at Xia Qing's back and smiled with relief, the arrival of tomorrow on the other side was full of hope and expectation.

Early the next morning, Xia Qing came to Haizhi's room as usual to freshen him up, but she was taken aback as soon as she opened the door, and saw that Haizhi had already gotten up and was sitting neatly on the chair in front of the window, and when she saw Xia Qing coming in, she immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Good morning, Sister Qing, are you going to have breakfast?"

Looking at the originally familiar but refreshed Haizhi, Xia Qingleng paused for a while, and then reacted and said, "Ah...... Good morning, come out if you're freshened up. With that, the two of them walked out of the front hall together, and Shane was very happy to see that Haizhi was so energetic.

After the three of them had breakfast together, Xia Qing took Haizhi to the school, the school is in the center of the ethnic village, and the village is south of Xia Qing's house, Haizhi has not gone so far since coming to her house place, so everything in the village is new and unfamiliar to him, every step to the south, more and more strangers and buildings that seem strange to him appear in front of him, the inexplicable nervousness makes the heart pound, hands and feet tremble, if it weren't for Xia Qing has been holding his hand, I'm afraid he would have been paralyzed, obviously, the momentum of getting up in the morning has long disappeared, and the gap between the ideal and the reality is obvious.

"Here, this is the school!" Xia Qing pointed forward and said, Hai Zhi looked in the direction of Xia Qing's finger, a row of yellow-white walls appeared in front of him, the winding branches of the trees in the wall poked out of the wall, and the pink buds grew on the branches, full of bud and vitality.

"Those are plum blossom trees, it's almost time to bloom, I'm looking forward to it! Okay, let's go in, it's still early, the others shouldn't have arrived yet, I'll take you to meet Master first." Xia Qing said as she led Haizhi into the wall, only to see a huge garden appear in front of her: the patchwork of plum blossom trees growing in every corner of the garden, from time to time there are birds flying between the trees, and the crisp sound of bird calls and wings echoing in the quiet garden, which is very pleasant. There is a stone brick path on the ground that extends deep into the garden, and some green moss grows in the gap between the bricks, which is particularly eye-catching.

Follow the trail to the end, through a small arch, to a spacious courtyard, the floor of which is paved with stone tiles, very flat and open, where hundreds of people can run and play. And there is a circle of canals in the periphery of the courtyard, the clear and bottom-clear water flows from west to east, after stepping on a small stone bridge on the canal, I see a white stone pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, the stone pavilion has four columns, the surface is polished smooth and round, shining under the illumination of the morning sun, the stone pavilion leads out four stone stairs on all sides, there is a round platform in the pavilion, I saw an old man wearing a white robe, the fairy wind of the Taoist bones sitting in it: waist-length long hair, The slender eyebrows that hung down to his cheeks and the long beard that reached his abdomen were white and flawless, the color was shiny, the texture was supple, and he looked like he had been carefully groomed, and I saw that his eyes were closed, his mouth was whispering, and a trace of light and misty white mist slowly floated around him.

"He is Master Dao Ju Elder, and most of the people in our clan are his apprentices, including our father and the current patriarch, so you must respect him very much. Xia Qing explained to Hai Zhi softly, "You go over with me to meet him, and then do what I taught you before, understand?" Hai Zhi nodded, and followed Xia Qing to the stone pavilion, the closer to the stone pavilion, the faster Hai Zhi's heart beats, and the more rapid his breathing, he didn't expect to meet such a big man just out of the house, which really made him difficult to adapt to, and he was not psychologically prepared at all.

Xia Qing walked lightly to the stone steps opposite the stone pavilion, knelt down, then turned her head and gave Haizhi a look, and pointed to the position beside her, Haizhi immediately understood, and knelt down beside her.

"Apprentice Xia Qing visits Master. Xia Qing said very respectfully. Dao Ju stopped whispering, slowly opened his eyes, and from his eyes emanated a cloud-like light, as if all demons and monsters would be invisible in front of his eyes.

"It's Qing'er, it's still early, why did you come, who are you around?" said Dao Ju in a very low and slow voice. "Please forgive the disciple for being rude, the disciple came early to bring my younger brother to meet the master, hoping that the master will accept him as an apprentice. After Xia Qing finished speaking, she pushed Haizhi, who was nervous and stiff, with her elbow.

Haizhi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, "Little ...... Children's ...... His name is Haizhi, and he wants to cultivate ...... Practicing the Five Elements...... Spell, Look...... Hope that the master will receive the teaching......" Daoju's gaze moved to Haizhi, and the moment the two looked at each other, Haizhi suddenly felt a burst of scorching heat in his chest, and immediately lowered his head, not daring to face Daoju.

"The so-called planning is in people, success is in heaven, life is in the world, ups and downs, rich and poor, God has already arranged it, and it cannot be forced. Daoju responded lightly to Haizhi.

Xia Qing heard the meaning of Dao Ju's refusal, and immediately recalled: "Master, the apprentice has been with Haizhi for a long time, and knows that he is honest and sincere, if the master can be taught by him, he will definitely practice hard and live up to the high expectations of the master!"

"Qing'er, have you forgotten the two prerequisites for practicing the Five Elements Spell?" Dao Ju said, "There are nine types of human physiques in the world: peace, qi deficiency, yang deficiency, yin deficiency, phlegm dampness, dampness and heat, blood congestion, qi depression, and special endowments, and the reason why my Five Saint Clansmen can have the Five Elements Technique alone is because God favors my Five Saint Clansmen and allows us to have the tenth type of physique: Moist Void, and only those who have a Moist Deficiency Physique can pass the Five Elements Qi in the five internal organs through the bone marrow, blood veins, The meridians and flesh quickly radiate out of the body, thus performing various powerful Five Elements spells. The other Enneagram Physique people can only transmit the Qi of the Five Elements through the narrow meridians, and even if they practice for life, they can only perform the lowest level of spells, which is not enough to protect themselves from the world. The physique of my view of the sea is really one of the nine types of peace, so it is not suitable for practice. ”

Hai Zhi felt a little disappointed after listening to Daoju's words, but it made him calm down, Hai Zhi kowtowed to Dao Ju, and then said calmly: "Master, Hai Zhi knows that he is dull by nature, and he is destined to be mediocre in this life, but I ...... I don't want to hide behind my family anymore and be protected by my family forever, I see ants on the ground, bees in the flowers, and birds and finches in the trees, although their lives are humble, but they are trying to forage for food every day in order to survive, and I want to be like them, even if I can only learn the lowest level of magic, but as long as I put in a little effort every day, it is much better than doing nothing. ”

Xia Qing looked at Haizhi in surprise, never expecting him to be able to say such mature words. Daoju listened to Haizhi's words, was silent for a while, and responded: "Since you have become enlightened, I will no longer dissuade you. ”

Xia Qing said happily, "Master, do you mean to agree to accept Haizhi as an apprentice?"

Dao Ju didn't answer, I saw him stretch out his right hand, the palm of his hand slowly flipped, and a white mist gathered in his palm, and then pushed forward, and the white mist floated in front of Haizhi, and then scattered five white qi into his body, Haizhi was startled, and touched his chest with his hand, it seemed that there was no big problem.

"Don't be afraid, Master is measuring the Five Elements Qi in your body. Xia Qing explained.

After a while, five white qi pierced out of Haizhi's back, and returned to the Dao Ju's palm to converge into the original air mass, and as soon as Dao Ju clenched his fist, the air mass disappeared.

"The second premise of practicing the Five Elements Spell is that the five organs in the body must contain enough Five Elements Qi in order to perform the spell while maintaining life," Dao Ju said to Haizhi, "Your liver, kidneys, and spleen are no different from ordinary people, and you have very little qi, only the fire and gold qi contained in your heart and lungs are relatively rich, so you can perform the fire and gold arts." Although I agree with you to enter the academy, your qualifications are too low, and I am busy with teaching affairs, so it is impossible to teach you specially. After speaking, Dao Ju closed his eyes and said no more.

Hai Zhi was overjoyed, kowtowed to Dao Ju again, and said loudly: "Master Xie, the disciple must practice diligently and live up to Master's expectations!" Xia Qing smiled and took Hai Zhi and withdrew from the stone pavilion.

When the two walked to the gate of the courtyard, they saw a group of children who seemed to be Xia Qing's age walking over with laughter, and a young man in the lead saw the two of them and shouted: "Xiaoqing, it's good!

Haizhi looked at the young man in surprise, and wondered in his heart: Although this person met for the first time, why did he know his name? He looks a few years older than Xia Qing, and he has a kind of appearance that stands out from the crowd in the crowd: wearing a purple and white robe, his face is like a crown of jade, his long hair reaches his waist, the hair at the front end is raised back, there are no bangs, his smooth forehead is exposed, and he wears a silver silk forehead chain inlaid with purple gems, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes are blazing, looking out in all directions, although he is young, he has already exuded a strong aura of aggressiveness.

"His name is Jie Ao, he is the son of the patriarch, the master calls him a once-in-a-century genius, and he knows all the big and small things in the clan, and it seems that he will succeed his father and train him as a successor in the future, so it is better not to get too close to him. Xia Qing whispered in Haizhi's ear.

"Xiaoqing, you shouldn't be saying bad things about me, don't teach Haizhi badly!" Jie Ao squinted his eyes and smiled, his smile was like a needle hidden in the cotton, making people feel uneasy.

"Senior brother misunderstood, Haizhi just came to the school today, I just taught him some rules. Xia Qing replied, her tone seemed quite serious, even a little cold, which was very different from the usual lively impression at home.

Jie Ao walked to Haizhi's side, squinted at him with the corner of his eye, and then patted him on the shoulder with his hand and said: "So, Haizhi has become our junior brother Luo, little junior brother, welcome to our big family, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, or if you encounter any difficulties, just come to me!"

Haizhi hurriedly replied, "Thank you...... Thank you, senior brother!" Then he saw that he was surrounded by unfamiliar faces, which made him feel so uncomfortable, and he suddenly felt red-faced, moved his steps, and slowly retreated behind Xia Qing......

Haizhi's life has finally ushered in a new beginning, and how can he learn the Five Elements with mediocre or even low qualifications?
