Chapter 8 Shan Xing
Li Wu didn't know much about martial arts in his previous life, and he had only heard a little about the practice of martial arts.
When everyone has a comeback, the way of heaven is vast, and the so-called desperate situation is just an excuse.
The abandonment of those who have not been condensed is the most hypocritical, even if he suffered from the ban, Li Wu has never given up, since he began refining the Qingling Grass, he has already taken the first step forward in this life. Since this opportunity was ahead, he naturally couldn't miss it easily.
"Master is above, please accept the disciple Li Wu's worship. Li Wu said, not twisting, immediately knelt on the roof and bowed to Ding Ming. The so-called worship is the ritual of worshipping the teacher, and after performing this ritual of worshipping the teacher, the teacher will be the father all day long, and those who destroy the teacher and destroy the Tao can be cut down by the world.
Ding Ming's heart trembled, he only wanted Li Wu's verbal response, where did he think of such a formal salute, and his blood was surging at the moment, okay!
"You boy, get up quickly, hurry up, what are you doing with this Rausch ritual. Ding Ming touched his nose, the first time he received this apprenticeship, he was obviously a little uncomfortable, even if his heart was happy, his face was still a little nervous.
At this time, Ding Ming still didn't know how much benefit what he did and said today would bring to him in the future, and he was directly taught to be above ten thousand people, and the glory was unparalleled, of course, this is all a later story.
Li Wu's heart was clear, and he saluted like this, except for the Immortal Pavilion Daoist in his previous life, he only walked to Ding Ming in front of him. And the reason why he bowed this prayer was that he really recognized Ding Ming as his teacher, and secondly, he wanted to eliminate all Ding Ming's concerns, so that he could teach himself.
Of course, in addition to saluting, he did not forget Ding Ming's other purpose of coming this time, "I wonder if the master still has something to help with the apprentices?"
Ding Ming, who was immersed in the joy of accepting apprentices, was pulled back to reality in an instant, tsk, this just accepted the apprentice and asked the apprentice to do something, Ding Ming couldn't pull his face, but when he heard Li Wu's words, he also opened his mouth with a face: "There is indeed a thing, the commander of the army has a son, called Shan Xing." β
"Not favored?" Li Wu raised his eyebrows, it didn't seem to be an easy errand.
This kid is very shrewd, Ding Ming glanced at Li Wu a few times, and then continued: "As you said, that kid can't mix in the evil army anymore. β
"The disciple doesn't understand, the son of the commander of the hall, what can he say that he can't live on his own territory?"
Oh, childish and naΓ―ve. "There are more than a dozen children in command, so who cares that he is a half-beast man. Ding Ming said, sighing. "Besides, he committed an accident last month, and someone in the army testified that he stole the commander's seal. β
Speaking of stealing the seal, for the time being, regardless of Shan Xing's age and Li Wu's similar age and thin stature, even if the table of the district commander's tent is enough, Ding Ming does not believe that he can do such a thing just because of his timid temperament.
"Dare to ask Master, what is Shan Xing's age?" Li Wu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"More than two years younger than you. Ding Ming said with a muffled snort.
It is also ridiculous to the extreme, what is the use of a five or six-year-old child asking for that seal? I think it is the hand of one of his ambitious brothers, the evil army is not a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and no one follows the righteous path of the so-called brothers, friends and brothers, fathers and sons filial piety, so even if the leader of the evil army is in the prime of life, the few grown sons under him are afraid that they are already ready to move, and they will not be able to bear it.
It's just that the matter was revealed, and the person who really coveted the seal retreated with the protection of the military power, and then he fastened the unwarranted hat on a child who was only a few years old.
After listening to Ding Ming's answer, the image of Shan Xing in Li Wu's heart also became a little clearer, and it seemed that he was a poor outcast who had no status and was used at will.
"Xuanying Continent, but among the army, those who steal the military seal without permission can only die?" Li Wu pondered for a moment before asking.
"Naturally, the five horses were divided into corpses and died by capital punishment. A trace of pity flashed on Ding Ming's face, maybe it was also a less important position in the army, and the kid was quite close to him, of course, this so-called kindness was compared to the rest of the evil army that frightened Shan Xing.
"But now that you mention him to me, it proves that he is not dead now, so, you saved him?" Li Wu's tone was a little hesitant, this position of commander should not be enough to decide the life and death of the son of the commander.
"It's not so much that I saved him, but that the commander let him go. Tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that children are innocent, and anyone with a little brain knows that this matter must not be the hand of Shan Xing. It's just that this military law and military law, since it is the law, it must be implemented, so the commander released the message of Shan Xing's death in the army. Ding Ming paused for a moment and continued: "There is no place for him in the army, and the commander still has some affection for his dead mother, so he asked me to send him out, just hoping to save him from death, even if it is enough to live an ordinary life." β
"A life of ordinary peace and happiness...... Li Wu muttered, how could a half-beast person who was at the lowest level of the Xuanying Continent have an ordinary and happy life?
Under the orcs, Fang is a half-beast, a half-beast person, most of them are cruel by nature, the world discriminates and spurns them, even the orcs regard it as filth, and do not want to be with it, the northern land is quite tolerant of the orcs, the orcs are mostly transformed from spirit beasts, and the bloodline is pure in their eyes, but this half-beast people, the people of the northern land hate the mongrel the most............ Li Wu was noncommittal to Ding Ming's words.
Perhaps the most simple and simple vision of ordinary happiness in the eyes of others is a luxury that will never be attainable for the half-beast man.
"Where do you want to place him when he comes out, but Yucun??" asked Li Wu.
"I don't believe in his own ability to survive, and I don't trust anyone in this village, except for you, of course. Ding Ming calmly looked into Li Wu's eyes. "Of course, I will pay all his expenses, three hundred silver dollars a month. β
"I think you still need to discuss with my grandmother, who is only a child, and I am afraid that I will not be able to be the master. After listening to the price, Li Wu was a little moved, but after the big worship, Ning Po was the elder of the family, and as a junior, how could she bring people to the house without authorization.
"You don't look like a child............... Ding Ming smiled, "but it's better for you to let me know, he's here this afternoon."
For some reason, Ding Ming always felt that under the shell of this Li Wu child, he must be an extremely shrewd adult. However, he didn't think much about it, only because his apprentice was brilliant and intelligent, so he had the calmness and ability far beyond his age.
But time flies, not long after Ding Ming left, it was afternoon in a daze. After Li Wu got Ning Po's permission, he opened the door and pulled a cigarette to greet Shan Xing, who was worth three hundred silver dollars a month.
And Ning Po was obviously lacking in interest, so she didn't come out under the pretext of taking a nap.
The low roar of the white dog mixed with the summer heat rolled in, and the eyes were the fiery red of the child above.
The red is dazzling but unassuming, and there is even an indescribable morbidity, and the light red delicate hairs on the young arms curl slightly, and they surrender quietly and obediently like their masters, without the slightest sense of messiness.
Shan Xing's brows were lowered, although he was a boy, his facial features were too beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a spring dawn, the eyes are like peach blossoms, the eyebrows are like daisies, and it is a little indistinguishable between male and female. Even if you look closely, there is no beast on his face, and even among humans, he is also an immortal, with a good sense of beauty that leads thousands of women to bend their waists.
It's just that the fiery red hair color and the tail hanging behind him reveal his true identity, a half-beast man who no one despises.
"Come down, here. Ding Ming on the side led the white dog to squat, then turned his head and whispered to Shan Xing on the white dog.
Shan Xing didn't answer, just nodded timidly, and went down to the ground with the slender fluff on the white hound.
It's just that the white dog didn't seem to like his touch, and with a kick of all fours, he moved away from Shan Xing, and turned into the arms of Huaiyan. Not only did he look at Huaiyan with his wet eyes, but he also gently rubbed his head against Huaiyan's little hand. and when he was by Shan Xing's side, he was like two dogs.
Shan Xing, who was resolutely abandoned by the White Dog, was obviously a little stunned, as if he didn't expect that he had fallen to the point where such people were tired of dogs.
This stupid dog doesn't have the same eyesight as I do. Ding Ming looked at the White Dog viciously, his eyes full of warnings.
The White Dog looked a little aggrieved at his master's gaze, and after a long while, he returned to Shan Xing's side. It's just that the tail that swayed violently at the cigarette hung down.
"Shan Xing, my name is Li Wu. Li Wu looked at Shan Xing and said straight to the point: "In the future, you will live here, and if you need to talk to me, just talk to me." β
Although Li Wu felt a little pity for Shan Xing in his heart, he knew clearly that he knew that what he could do for Shan Xing was very limited, so he only regarded himself as a homeowner, and Shan Xing's tenant with 300 silver dollars a month was naturally entertained.
"Good ......," Shan Xing Nuo said.
Li Wu saw Shan Xing's hair move slightly, and met his eyes that were as red as his hair, clear but flickering inexplicably.
As the saying goes, Shan Xing's pupils are full of fear and panic, obviously because he has been in an overly depressed environment for a long time, and has instinctively feared and rejected everything in the outside world.
Just by looking at those eyes, you know that he is a cautious person who does not dare to resist easily even if he is persecuted.
How could such a person steal the seal? The person who imposed such a great crime on this Shan Xing was obviously also a fool, and he could not hold back his impatience and rashness, and he was afraid that he would only be a cannon fodder in the bloody battle for the throne in the future.
Li Wu sneered in his heart, but his face was peaceful.
