Chapter 8 The Mysterious New Instructor (4)
“The demons have killed thousands of our compatriots and dyed the earth red with the blood of our compatriots. For three thousand years, our six major temples have never We don’t dare to slack off at all, for the sake of human reproduction and inheritance, in order to one day be able to regain everything we have lost, and to drive away those cruel and vicious demons, we will make every effort until the last drop of life is burned out.”
< br>"Long Haochen, you must remember that the demons are our enemies with deep blood feud."
Xingyu's voice was full of contagion, and even the nine-year-old Long Haochen's blood boiled because of his words.
"The demons are our enemies with deep blood feud." Long Haochen repeated what Xingyu said firmly.
Xingyu nodded, "All the efforts we have made are to drive them out of our home, regain everything we have lost, and protect our loved ones. What if one day, we don't If you can stop the invasion of the demons, what will happen when they come to Odin Town? What kind of disaster will your friends and your mother face?"
Long Haochen shivered smartly, and the persistence in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Looking at his appearance, Xingyu showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He could naturally see that this little guy had already kept what he said in mind.
“That’s all the historical knowledge I want to teach you today. Starting tomorrow, I will tell you about the origins of the six temples. Next, I will teach you our human characters and some knowledge related to the demons. ”
For the whole morning, Long Haochen was immersed in the various stories told by Xingyu. Compared with the previous Chief Instructor Balza, this new teacher brought him so many different things. Various quotations from scriptures, simple and direct description, seem to have endless knowledge. In just one morning, Long Haochen already felt that his brain was enriched with a lot of knowledge. This made Long Haochen fall in love with Teacher Xingyu immediately.
"Tomorrow morning, I will test everything you taught today. Okay, let's eat. You can rest for half an hour after the meal."
As he said this, Xingyu seemed to have changed. Like magic, all kinds of food were placed on the wooden table in a matter of seconds.
Slightly scorching energy surged from Xingyu's hands, and under Long Haochen's dumbfounded gaze, the food suddenly emitted steam and a strong aroma.
A large bowl of crystal clear and plump white rice, four large portions of two meat and two vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of fragrant chicken soup that made Long Haochen swallow his saliva instantly. Because of the financial constraints at home, he had never eaten such good food since he was a child. Just looking at it made Long Haochen's eyes straighten.
Xingyu took out two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, "Eat. You can rest for a while after eating."
Long Haochen suddenly stood up quickly, walked to Xingyu, and fell to his knees with a thud.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that there is gold under a man's knees, so how can you kneel down so easily?" Xingyu scolded angrily.
Long Haochen lowered his head and whispered: "Teacher, I, I..."
"What are you doing? You have to kneel down for a small favor. Am I teaching you a kowtowing bug?" Xingyu's voice became a little more stern.
Long Haochen whispered: "Teacher, I want to say, can I eat less every day, and then bring some to my mother when I go home every week. My mother has never eaten so delicious. "
Xingyu was stunned, his original anger disappeared in an instant, and his whole person seemed a little sluggish, even giving people a feeling of stiffness. Because Long Haochen lowered his head, he didn't see that his mysterious new teacher's lips were trembling slightly. There is also something crystal clear in his eyes.
Standing up slowly, Xingyu opened the door and walked out, but his voice came back, "Get up and eat. I promise you, as long as you follow me and practice hard, and you can meet my requirements, I will have someone send you to me every day from now on." A meal for your mother."
"Thank you, teacher." Long Haochen was overjoyed, turned around on his knees and kowtowed several times in the direction of the door before standing up. Get ready for that tempting meal. Xingyu stood outside the door, looking up at the sky, as if trying to suppress something, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Humility, honesty, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, benevolence, justice." , what else does he lack? Is he really a born knight? ”
When he returned to the wooden house, Xiao Haochen had already finished lunch, but left half of each meal untouched. He also filled a bowl of rice and placed it next to Xingyu. Seeing him coming back, he quickly stood up and looked at him respectfully.
"The room next door is yours, go and rest for a while. I will call you when the time comes."
"Yes." Long Haochen only felt that Teacher Xingyu was a gift from God to him , went to rest happily.
Half an hour later, Xingyu called out Long Haochen.
"The afternoon and evening will be your practice time. This is for you." Xingyu handed a pair of green bamboo swords to Long Haochen.
This pair of bamboo swords is much lighter than the original wooden sword used by Long Haochen. One hand has one handle. Although it is as light as nothing, one can feel its toughness.
Xingyu took his arm and jumped up again, leaping towards the bottom of the mountain. In just a moment, he led Long Haochen to the halfway point of the mountain.
Pointing to a big rock in front of him, Xingyu said: "This is a natural owl ant nest. There are tens of thousands of owl ants in it. Although this insect is not considered a monster, But it is very aggressive, especially against intruders. Remember, use your bamboo sword to protect yourself."
It was just a simple explanation, before Long Haochen understood what was going on. , Xingyu had already kicked away the big rock in front of him, and with Long Haochen's exclamation, he was sent into the dark cave under the big rock.
A gentle force supported Long Haochen's body as he fell downwards. He fell for about five meters before he found his feet on the ground.
The big stone above his head had been restored to its original position, and he couldn't see anything around him. However, before the big stone was covered, he could vaguely see a space of about ten square meters around him.
At this moment, there was a buzzing sound, and Long Haochen felt as if there were countless dense things around him, flying towards him from all directions.
Only then did he understand what Teacher Xingyu meant, and he subconsciously waved a pair of bamboo swords in his hands.
However, what he learned in Odingzi Palace was only some of the most basic skills such as chopping, splitting, and stabbing. Facing the unknown number of crazy owl ants, his body was bitten in multiple places almost instantly.
Severe pain came from all over the body, causing Xiao Haochen to scream suddenly, and the bamboo sword in his hand suddenly became scattered.
"This is one of your cultivation methods, and it is also your initial assessment. If you can't withstand this level, you can go down the mountain tomorrow."
Xingyu's voice came to Long Hao Chen Er felt that his panicked mood had stabilized a little, but the pain coming from his body became more severe. The clothes on his body couldn't stop the bites of owl ants, and even a scattered swing of the bamboo sword in his hand could. It was clearly felt that a large number of objects were hit.
"I can withstand it." Long Haochen shouted, thinking of his mother and what Xingyu said to him today, his courage suddenly broke through the shackles of fear, waving the bamboo sword in his hand desperately, driving away Watching the owl ants that kept attacking him.
"Although you can't see now, all you have lost is vision. You still have hearing, smell, touch, feeling and even taste. Use all your abilities that can help you to feel everything around you..."
