"Boom!" There was a loud noise. A big tree fell down by the lake behind Guiguzi's courtyard, and leaves and sawdust were flying all over the sky.
Gui Guzi, who was sitting in the living room, heard the movement in the backyard and came over to ask, "Do you want to destroy all my scenery?"
Li Xiuyuan brushed off the leaves on his body and said with a smile: "I just came to test the power. I won't dare to do it next time. I have to change a place to test fire. I have to change a place."
"Come back for tea." Guiguzi said softly.
Picking up the talisman arrows on the ground, Li Xiuyuan walked to Guiguzi's living room.
After pouring a cup of tea for Li Xiuyuan, Guiguzi asked: "This explosive talisman arrow is too scary. We must control it in the future to prevent it from leaking out, otherwise it may cause us trouble."
"I am only responsible for trial production. The finished products will naturally be managed by you, teacher. I will have to go back after staying here for two years at most. I cannot bear any responsibilities and consequences."
Li Xiuyuan's face was filled with excitement. It took him five days to finally carve out the explosive talisman arrow.
Next, he planned to relax and rest for a few days, brew ten tanks of wine for his teacher, and then thought about taking a trip to the wilderness.
With these two kinds of talisman arrows, I finally have some confidence to go to the wilderness.
Guiguzi looked at him and asked: "Will the arrow body engraved with explosive symbols not be able to withstand the power of the explosion?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the iron arrow in his hand that was blown out of shape, shook his head and said: "No matter how hard the iron arrow is, it can't withstand it. Unlike the fire talisman arrow, this can only be used once."
Guiguzi murmured: "Even once is enough. Even the human body is not as hard as this century-old tree."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at him and said: "Before using these talisman arrows, teacher, you can not take out the exploding talisman arrows. After all, talisman arrows with flames are already very good."
Guiguzi nodded and said, "I know how to handle this, so I won't mess around with it.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "In the next few days, I don't want to think about the talisman arrows anymore. I'm going to start brewing wine, starting from tomorrow."
Guiguzi was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "That's very good. I have already agreed with Chen Guangming that tomorrow he will find someone to come over to set up the stove and build the shed. We will do it together. It won't take much effort."
"Today I will copy down the experience of engraving talisman arrows and give it to the teacher. You can try to engrave it. The premise is that you have to wait for General Chen to rush out a batch of iron arrows."
Looking at Gui Guzi who was in a good mood, Li Xiuyuan said quietly.
Guiguzi raised his head and glanced at him, then asked after silence: "This is your secret, and you just gave it to me like this? Aren't you afraid that I will fall out with you and deny you?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he asked doubtfully: "I will leave here soon. The purpose of making Talisman Arrow is to give the defenders of the Great Wall a defensive weapon. How could the teacher harm his disciples?"
Guiguzi patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "You have special skills that cannot be copied. Even if one day the talisman masters of the Great Wall learn how to engrave talisman arrows, they will never be able to catch up with you in this aspect."
Li Xiuyuan did not show any joy on his face when he heard that the teacher was comparing himself to the Talisman Masters in the Great Wall.
Instead, he said calmly: "My goal is not just to become a Talisman Master, and I will not compare myself with them."
"That's not what it is." Guiguzi said with a smile: "If they knew that this talisman arrow was actually designed by a fourteen-year-old boy, I wonder if they would be so embarrassed that they would hang themselves?"
"Please don't tell me, teacher. Just say that this talisman arrow is the teacher's doing."
Thinking that the most important thing he came here to do has not been done yet, he didn't want to be stared at at this time. If this happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward in the future.
Guiguzi thought for a while, looked at him and said, "You have to tell that boy Chen Guangming about this. I hope he hasn't had time to tell you about you. On the Great Wall, it's okay to keep a low profile, as it can save your life."
Li Xiuyuan frowned and said, "I'm here to practice, not to fight hard."
Gui Baozi looked up at him and said with a smile: "Others are trying their best to make meritorious deeds here on the Great Wall and become famous. It's better for you to think that if you hide yourself deeper, you don't have to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger on the Great Wall, because we are all passers-by." "
Passer-by, Guiguzi deliberately pronounced the two characters "an" very seriously.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, thinking that he was here to find something, not even the experience. But the teacher in front of me has lived for who knows how many years, how could he be a passerby of the Great Wall?
"Teacher, how could you be a passer-by too?" Li Xiuyuan murmured.
"How can I not? There are many monks like you who have come here to practice for two years, and there are still five, ten, or even hundreds of years. But each has his own purpose, and the time spent is naturally different, even if it means sacrificing his life , there are a lot of people there.”
Gui Guzi couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that time had passed and he had stayed here for who knows how many years.
"It seems that everyone has different purposes and the price they need to pay is also different."
Li Xiuyuanxin finally understood some of the reasons. It seemed that these monks had their own purposes.
I don’t know what kind of price I have to pay here? Or is that stuff hidden in the wilderness, and you need to deal with those wilderness people to get it?
"Teacher, please drink your tea slowly while I go and sort out the inscriptions on the talisman arrows. I will send them to you later."
After completing the creation of two different types of talisman arrows, Li Xiuyuan had to seriously think about what he would face next. This was no small matter.
Whenever there is a glimmer of possibility, he will try his best to fight for it.
After the ancient blue dragon is found and sent away, the academy no longer has to consider sending people to face unknown dangers.
Guiguzi waved his hand and said, "Have a good rest and regain your energy. We will start brewing wine tomorrow."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and smiled: "That's my strength. As long as someone comes to help, it's not a troublesome thing. It just takes a few days."
...
However, the good life did not go as Li Xiuyuan imagined. After he gave the five talisman arrows he made to Chen Guangming and brewed ten jars of wine for Guiguzi, instead of receiving the credit he imagined, he got an unexpected one. people.
On this day, Li Xiuyuan was returning from a walk around the Sky Tower and was about to step into Guiguzi's courtyard when he heard a middle-aged man's voice coming from inside.
"Isn't this Chen Guangming? Who could it be?"
Li Xiuyuan did not hesitate, pushed the door open and went in. No matter who came, he could not escape.
I saw a middle-aged man in a black robe standing in the yard, kissing a talisman arrow and chatting with Gui Guzi. He looked at Li Xiuyuan who pushed in the door and asked, "Is this the master's new disciple?"
"Who are you?" Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the man who suddenly appeared in the small courtyard. The man's appearance was so sudden that even Chen Guangming hadn't told him about it yet.
This person seems to be dressed casually, but when he stands there he seems to blend into the world. This is not the Po-Xu realm, but a realm above Po-Xu. This is a great practitioner of the Cave Heaven Realm.
The middle-aged man should have understood the laws of heaven and earth to a certain extent due to his cultivation in the later stage of Dongtian. Perhaps it would not take much effort to break through to the legendary transcendence.
Li Xiuyuan felt a heavy blow on his chest and stayed there in a daze.
Gui Gu Liao looked at Li Xiudi's dazed look and smiled lightly: "Xiu Yuan, I've come to meet General Li Mubai of the Qinglong Army."
"Meet the general!" According to Guiguzi's words, Li Xiuyuan said respectfully and saluted.
"I just want to know if you are willing to join our Qinglong Army?" The man in black looked at Li Xiuyuan calmly and asked.
Li Xiuyuan complained endlessly, thinking that I still want to go wandering in the wilderness, so why would I want to join the four major legions?
"I haven't decided yet. I want to go outside the Great Wall to see..." Li Xiuyuan was only halfway through his words when the man in black interrupted his answer: "Even if I know you are willing, are you still unwilling?"
A monstrous aura erupted from the man in black, like a sharp sword, slashing towards Li Xiuyuan.
Under this indescribable pressure, Li Xiuyuan's body trembled and he thought to himself, are you trying to force me?
"Well, General, I can only stay at the Great Wall for two years. I have to leave when the time is up." Li Xiuyuan swallowed nervously and stubbornly made the distinction for himself.
"It doesn't matter, since you are already the master's disciple, as long as the two years are up, you can leave the Great Wall... From today on, you are a member of my Qinglong Army!"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this. Are you buying and selling by force? There is no such truth.
"I am the teacher's student. I want to practice Talisman with the teacher. I want to be free. I will not fight for you."
Looking at Li Mubai, who was dressed in black robes, Li Xiuyuan fought back tenaciously without flinching.
"It's better this way!" The man in black looked at Guiguzi in front of him and said categorically.
"I'm going outside the Great Wall. I don't have time to fight for you. I want to go home!" Li Xiuyuan was so angry that he simply yelled.
"From now on, you will be a member of the Qinglong Army for the next two years." The man in black raised his right hand, and a piece of black iron engraved with a green dragon flew towards Li Xiuyuan. .
"You joined the Green Dragon Legion because the talismans you learned from the master are good and are beneficial to the Great Wall. It's not up to you whether you want to join or not. This is an order!"
The man in black refused to say anything and shouted outside the hospital: "Li Guangming!"
"My subordinates are here!" Li Guangming's voice suddenly came from outside the yard.
"From now on, this guy will be handed over to you. Let him follow the master to forge talisman arrows and consider promotion after making military exploits for the Azure Dragon Army!"
After the man in black finished explaining, he turned around and walked out of the hospital regardless of Li Xiuyuan's mood at the moment.
Li Xiuyuan sighed secretly, knowing that he had made a big deal about the talisman arrow this time. If he had known it, he would have said that the casting failed.
"Teacher, is the general of the Qinglong Army a bandit?" Li Xiuyuan looked at the back of the man in black who had walked out of the courtyard with a bitter look on his face and shouted.
"Almost!" Gui Guzi looked at Li Xiuyuan's appearance and couldn't help laughing.
"What does this mean? Could it be that the four major legions are all bandits?!" Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said in disbelief, are they all bandits? Isn't this too scary?
"If he doesn't come here to rob you today, he might be Suzaku and Xuanwu in a few days. Don't forget that there is a White Tiger general who hasn't come out yet."
In Guiguzi's opinion, it was the most ordinary thing, but he didn't expect Li Xiuyuan's reaction to be so big. No monk who comes to the Great Wall can escape from the four legions, unless they are mediocre people who are killed by the barbarian warriors as soon as they leave the city.
Thinking of this, Guiguzi looked at Li Xiuyuan and laughed, and said softly: "No one among the monks in the Great Wall can be independent of the four legions, except the dead."
"Okay! Fortunately, I continue to practice Talisman with the teacher, otherwise I will promise to escape overnight." Li Xiuyuan thought about Li Mubai's appearance and said loudly again.
At this moment, Li Guangming, who was standing outside the courtyard, came in, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "You have to cherish this opportunity. You must know that there are many monks who want to join the Qinglong Army, and you are the first one who can let the general come in person. ."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at him and asked, "What about Zhao Pingan and Chen Shanshan who left the Great Wall and went to the wilderness?"
...
