Volume 3, Dragon Plains Ancient Land_Chapter 91, Great Origin (2)
"Oh...... Looks like you've put a lot of effort into it. What about Granny Lee? I heard Yuan Feng say that she is a celebrity in the fairy circle and a senior. I took a sip of my wine and continued to ask.
"Granny Li is the patriarch of our 507 Institute, and she may be very old, because she was already a member of the 507 Institute long before Sha Lao joined the Chinese Tiger Society. It is even rumored that she is one of the founders of the 507 Institute. I have the impression that she rarely shows her head and doesn't care much about the development of 507. Most of the time, she hides in her large garden to rest. She has her own residence in the primeval forests of the Greater and Lesser Khing'an Mountains and Xishuangbanna, where she is said to have raised many goblins. And this time, when we were looking for a mentor, we were once confused, because there are very few people in the circle who can teach Yuan Feng, and there are only one in ten thousand people who can get close to the goblin, not to mention that Yuan Feng has reached the point where many people can't do it, after all, she controls a very powerful goblin hub. But just when we were hesitating, Granny Li came uninvited. She didn't say the reason, she just said that she was willing to teach Yuan Feng, which contributed to her becoming Yuan Feng's mentor this time. "Uncle Jia's words sound very mysterious, and there are still many places that have not been explained when I think about it, maybe he doesn't know anything about Granny Li.
"Alright, that's all said and done, I should go back too." I lit a cigarette and stood up to walk out.
Uncle Jia said in the back: "Do you know that among all these mentors, Tao Lao is the most tormenting. ”
I waved my hand, but I didn't hear what he was saying, and I thought he was saying goodbye to me.
I told everyone about the situation this night, Tang Yuyan didn't say that she wanted to quit, I think she should hold on a little longer. After all, if she can hold on for one more day, maybe Xiao Wang will be able to convince the old woman that there is hope, and every point of her own persistence means that hope has increased by one point. Luo Qiong said with a bitter face: "I haven't seen her tail yet, is it that I want to hang her tail as soon as she lights it up?" ”
The fat man shouted with a smile on his face, saying that if he could make Lu Bu on his body in the future, wouldn't he be invincible all over the world. As a result, I sneered coldly next to me: "In case someone invites Dian Wei to come up, you can't do it." ”
"Okay, let's rest early, it's not early."
I didn't say anything all night, I got up at six o'clock the next day, the fat man and Luo Qiong were still sleeping, the sky outside was just bright, not long after the sun came out, I yawned and carried the basin to wash my face. When I walked to the boiling water room, there was no one, I wiped my face with water, I was wiping my eyes, the hairs on my neck stood up all of a sudden, I subconsciously dodged to the side, I heard a "ding" sound, opened my eyes and looked, good guy, just where I was standing, an iron arrow was stuck in the wall, the arrow completely pierced into the cement wall, if I moved half a step slower, I might be in a different place now!
"Fuck, who?" I turned around and roared.
I saw Tao Lao's guard holding a demon hunting crossbow in his hand, as if it was the one we brought in, and Tao Lao was standing at the door, holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, recording something.
"Xiao Liu! What are you shooting me for? I shouted.
Xiao Liu looked at me innocently and said, "It's Tao Lao's order." ”
I was stunned, and immediately looked at Tao Lao, he nodded at me and said: "It's my order, after entering the second week, it will start attacking you anytime and anywhere, your reaction just now is still good, but it is a more serious problem that you didn't shoot back immediately after the reaction." If you have to see who fights back, you've been killed. ”
"It's two different things, this is the base, I thought it was safe!" I'm still very unhappy with this kind of surprise attack.
"That's not safe from now on, I've already recorded my reaction this time, and I hope you will react better next time. I'll wait for you in the building......" Tao Lao turned around and left, I had a feeling of discomfort after being watched, and I couldn't help frowning.
The books in the box were reading more and more slowly, and it became much slower when I started to wonder if I would be attacked. Tao Lao occasionally tells me some annotations, and the explanations are quite clear, but I still don't understand more space. Especially when I read the solitary book that is more than 300 years old, although the spells in it are recorded quite clearly, if you don't practice it yourself, many of them are half-understood.
And what's worse is that even in the building I am not safe, a few days encountered a poisonous snake and spider sneak attack, once on the road walking and fell into the pit, down after all around the snake, fortunately I reacted quickly, a fire burned all the snakes. Cold hidden arrows, even shootings, and I felt like my life was being threatened every second.
And what makes me even more puzzled is that Uncle A's beating can still exercise my ability to resist beatings, but let me study in the building without commenting, and I have to worry about being sneak attacked, which seems to be useless to me at all.
After enduring it for half a month, I finally found Tao Lao.
"Do you have time?" I went to the second floor and asked him as he sat reading something in a stack of books.
He reached out and made a five-five gesture at me, but didn't look up. It meant that I was asked to wait for five minutes, and I clasped my hands around my chest and waited beside me, but after waiting for about ten minutes, he looked up at me and said, "What's wrong?" Do you have time to come and see me at work? ”
I have been constantly harassed in the past few days, and I can't even sleep well, and the other party's tone of nonchalance at the moment, I finally got a little emotional and said: "I don't understand the point of your arrangement, if you think that constant harassment can exercise my vigilance, then I can clearly tell you that it is useless." It only makes me not rest well, and it affects my reading speed. When it comes to reading, those ancient books are complicated and difficult to understand, those books about magic are good, on the contrary, those books about exercises are obscure, if you don't explain it to me, how do I know what it means? ”
He glanced at me and asked calmly, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
"What I want to say is that I don't think these training methods of yours are of any use, and it is better to let me and Uncle Jia practice a few more games with this kung fu, at least there is some practical significance in fighting him." I didn't hold back, and I said all the words that I was holding back at once. This feels like watching "Shaolin Temple" at the beginning, and the new warrior monks have to chop wood and carry water, thinking that it is useless but actually practicing basic skills. But I really didn't see what basic skills Old Man Tao's training methods could practice!
"Is it all over? If I finish speaking, I still have to work, if you think it's useless, you can not come, and concentrate on practicing with A. I don't force you to train according to my plan. After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to work, and he didn't even get angry at my confrontation just now.
This made me a little embarrassed, and I thought he would definitely say some truth.
I stood in place, a little dilemma, just got angry and said a lot of brainlessly, now it's good, I regret it, and the words I say are that the water that was spilled can't be recovered.
"Why don't you leave?" He asked, without looking up.
"Won't you say something?"
"I don't think you will listen to anything I say, so you still do what you want, if you think that what you want can win the Ling family and improve your ability, then you can naturally do what you want."
I was stunned when I said this, in fact, I was also very confused, fat people they at least have a mentor with them, and it is certain to improve their strength, but I am reading books every day, and the sparring with Jiayi is only one-sided beaten, and I am holding back the fire in my heart but there is no place to vent, so my emotions are out of control. After calming down and thinking about it, I realized that in fact, the crux of my heart was that I couldn't find a way to improve my ability and defeat the spirit family, I was very confused, and I couldn't find the answer before I got angry.
"You're not going to say it, are you?" He looked back at me, "If you don't say it, then listen to me." In my eyes, you're a little kid who has been spoiled by luck and doesn't know it. ”
