Chapter 20: Aoki Shield
"You are all here, I won't say much about the superfluous, you may have heard some rumors, and I won't prove the truth of these rumors, I just tell you, as a teacher, you have to go out for a period of time, as short as a few months, as long as two or three years, during this period, you must help each other, step up cultivation, don't cause trouble, don't let others see jokes, if you encounter any problems that can't be solved, you can ask your Uncle Su, during my absence from the sect, everything that listens to your Uncle Su, hear clearly. ”
Lu Tong looked at Zhong Yunhai standing on the white jade platform, overnight, Zhong Yunhai was much older, his face was sad, his eyes were full of bloodshots, it seemed that the rumors were true, otherwise the master would not have become like this overnight.
"Hear me clearly. They all replied together.
"Okay, you all go back and hurry up your cultivation and strive to achieve something as soon as possible, Jin Guang, Fu Yang, and Teng Bing, the three of you stay, Lu Tong, you also stay, and the others go back!" Zhong Yunhai turned around after speaking, and when the disciples saw that it was not good to say anything, they all bowed to the master and began to withdraw from the cave.
Hearing that the master asked him to stay, Lu Tong was shocked, "Jin Guang, Teng Bing, and the senior brother named Fu Yang left this is a good explanation, after all, these three are currently the highest cultivation among Zhong Yunhai's disciples, so why do you want to stay?"
"Jin Guang, Fu Yang, and Teng Bing, the three of you are the highest disciples of the current cultivation of the teacher, and your senior brother and second senior brother have unfortunately fallen......" As soon as he said this, he heard Zhong Lianhong cry out with a "wow".
"Hong'er, don't cry, remember what your father told you yesterday?" Zhong Yunhai said with a sinking face.
Hearing her father say this, Zhong Lianhong stopped crying and sobbed slowly, while Su Xinyun hugged her hard.
"After your senior brother and second senior brother fall, you will take the lead of all the junior brothers and sisters, don't be lazy for a moment, try your best to improve your cultivation, think twice before you encounter something, don't conflict with your peers, take good care of all your junior brothers and sisters, don't bully them, don't let them be bullied, do you hear?" Zhong Yunhai continued to ask loudly.
"It seems that the rumors are true. Lu Tong said secretly after listening to Zhong Yunhai's words.
"Yes, master, the disciple must practice hard, love the younger brothers and sisters, and never disgrace your reputation. The three of them said in unison.
Lu Tong saw that the eyes of the three people were full of determined expressions, and at this moment he knew that these three people had really taken on a responsibility, a responsibility that belonged to the leader that they had to bear.
"These are three treasures, one for each of you, go back to logistics and cultivation, and achieve something as soon as possible. Zhong Yunhai handed over three jade boxes.
"Thank you, master. The three of Jin Guang each took a jade box and stepped aside.
"Lu Tong, the teacher didn't answer your question yesterday, I wonder if you can choose the exercises?" Zhong Yunhai turned to Lu Tong again and asked.
"The apprentice thanks the master for his concern, and also asks the master to mourn, the apprentice has chosen the appropriate exercises. Lu Tong replied with a pained expression.
He was really heartbroken, the master had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and he still remembered that he, the worst disciple, had chosen the exercises, which overturned all the previous misconceptions about the master.
"Okay, it doesn't depend on what exercises and spells you choose, it is estimated that you can practice any exercises, this is a green wood shield, which was used by your Uncle Su in his early years, and now it is given to you, if you don't know anything about cultivation in the future, you can ask your senior brothers and sisters, or you can ask your Uncle Su. After saying these words, Zhong Yunhai handed over a small cyan shield the size of a palm.
"The apprentice thanked the master again, and thanked Uncle Su. Lu Tong hurriedly thanked him and took the small cyan shield with both hands.
"Oh my God, medium-grade magic weapon. Lu Tong was taken aback when he took the Aoki Shield, and it was estimated that except for the three top disciples in front of him, few of the other disciples would have a medium-grade magic weapon.
"Master, the apprentice's qualifications are dull, his progress is slow, and if he has this treasure, he is afraid that his reputation will be insulted, so please take it back. Lu Tong took the Aoki shield, thought about it, raised his hands and said.
For this treasure, it would be false to say that he was not greedy, but Lu Tong felt that he was really not suitable for owning this treasure, it was too risky to carry this treasure, and the medium-grade magic weapon was a treasure that only disciples in the later stage of qi cultivation could have, and he was now only a mere level of qi training, and he had this treasure, in case it was robbed by others, it would not be even the face of the master and uncle, so Lu Tong said this.
"If you give it to you, you will take it, you don't have to worry about any face, reputation and other nothingness, just cultivate with peace of mind, remember, poor qualifications are not a problem, as long as you work hard, all problems will be solved, and the teacher believes in you." Zhong Yunhai looked at Lu Tong's hands and said.
"Then, the apprentice accepts it here, please rest assured that the apprentice will not disgrace the master's reputation even if he loses his life. He knew that it was inappropriate to say something nihilistic at this time, and after speaking, Lu Tong bowed and went down.
"Alright, you all go out! Zhong Yunhai waved his hand to the four of them.
"Please mourn, Master. The four of them said together, and then slowly withdrew from the cave.
Out of Zhong Yunhai's cave, Lu Tong saw that Yang Shouyuan was waiting for him, so he clasped his hands into fists, bent down slightly and said, "Senior brother and sister, junior brother has taken his leave first." ”
Jin Guang and the others stood slightly, glanced at Yang Shouyuan and the others not far away, and Fu Yang said: "Senior Brother Lu, I just returned to the sect, I have heard of you, cultivate hard, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can find all senior brothers and sisters, don't insult the master's love for you." After speaking, without waiting for Lu Tong to reply, the three of them walked away to do their own business.
After the three of them left, Yang Shouyuan and others hurriedly surrounded them.
"Senior Brother Lu, what did the master do with you?"
"What did the master say to the three senior brothers and sisters?"
"What did Senior Brother Fu Yang say to you just now?"
Everyone asked several questions, and Lu Tong looked at everyone's curious and jealous eyes and thought: "It seems that if you don't make it clear, it won't work to dispel everyone's doubts." ”
"The master just experienced the pain of losing a child and didn't say anything to me, but just asked me about the choice of exercises, and by the way, he gave me a few words, and most of the time he was arranging the cultivation of the three senior brothers and sisters. Lu Tong replied, it's better not to say about the master's gift to Aoki Shield, who doesn't have a little secret, they will talk about it when they ask later.
"Look, look, I'll just say? Master is definitely a good master, when we just entered the first level of the Qi cultivation period, didn't the master give all the guidance? Senior Brother Lu didn't have the opportunity to get the master's guidance yesterday, and today the master is making amends. Ding Tie said helplessly.
"It seems that they have been arguing about what I am doing in the Master's Cave Mansion!" Lu Tong thought secretly.
"Hey, do you know the situation of Senior Brother Fu Yang who spoke to me just now? This is the first time I've seen him. Lu Tong hurriedly diverted the topic and said.
"You said Senior Brother Fu Yang! He is our fourth senior brother, and he entered the master's door with the second senior brother and the third senior brother, don't look at him as the fourth in line, but it is said that his combat power is on par with the second senior brother, definitely higher than the third senior brother, this time I heard that the senior brother and the second senior brother had an accident, and hurriedly rushed back from the field. Hearing Lu Tong's question, Fang Laixiang played the role of Mr. Commentary.
"Ao, Senior Brother Fu Yang is much more amiable than Senior Brother Jinguang. Lu Tong replied thoughtfully.
"That's what you said, it's not like Senior Brother Jinguang who keeps a straight face all day long, like a dead person in the family. Song Bao said in a good voice.
"Senior Brother Song, don't talk nonsense, Senior Brother Jinguang is much more bitter than us. Yang Shouyuan, who rarely spoke this time, suddenly said when he heard Song Bao's words.
Then, Yang Shouyuan slowly introduced some things about Jinguang.
It turned out that Jin Guang had a cheerful personality when he first joined the Qingquan Sect under Zhong Yunhai's gate, talking and laughing all day long, and he was a very cute little living treasure, but one day, somehow, Jin Guang, who only had the fourth layer of the Qi training period, suddenly fled home from the sect desperately, and this was okay, until he built the foundation, he couldn't go home privately, and the violators were severely punished. A total of 35 sisters and brothers were all killed, and their heads were missing, looking at such a miserable scene, Jin Guang fainted on the spot.
After experiencing this, Jin Guang only begged for death, and later Zhong Yunhai pleaded everywhere, so that he was exempted from the heavy punishment of Jin Guang, and the Law Enforcement Hall only confined him for one year, after coming out, Jin Guang cultivated hard, and was bent on revenge, and it became what he is now, Zhong Yunhai has no way to do this, he can only give more guidance in his cultivation, and take a little more care in his life.
After listening to Yang Shouyuan's narration, everyone fell into a short silence, frankly speaking, Lu Tong didn't know if he had the courage to survive after experiencing such a thing, even if he survived, what else would there be in life except hatred? No wonder Jin Guang always had a gloomy face, no wonder when he first entered the master's door and asked Jin Guang for leave to go home, Senior Brother Huang said those inexplicable words.
"Okay, don't ask this or that, how much can Senior Brother Lu know, let's hurry up and go back to cultivating! Don't let down the master's hard work. Yang Shouyuan said.
So everyone didn't say anything anymore and rushed to their residences, and after experiencing this incident, they seemed to have matured a lot, and everyone worked hard to cultivate, for fear that they would fall behind and others.
