Chapter 12: The Secret Training Ground
"Knock knock. ”
Just as Lone Star and Shuang'er were having breakfast, there was a sharp knock at the door.
Shuang'er was shocked and quickly stood up.
Although Lone Star can get along with her on an equal footing, if the master knows, it will be troublesome.
She straightened her clothes and walked briskly to the door.
After opening the door, a panting young man walked in.
"Yo, it's a twin girl, is the Lone Star Child?"
"Childe is here, what's the matter with you?"
"Oh, it was Mr. Li who asked me to come, and I want to tell the Lone Star Prince, go to him after breakfast. ”
"Okay, I'll tell you that. ”
"Oh...... That...... Well, thank you, Twin Girls. ”
With that, the man turned and hurried away, but there was a slight doubt on his face.
Oops, finally gone.
"Hoo ......"
After the man left, Shuang'er's heart relaxed, and she often breathed a sigh of relief, she kept blocking the door, just didn't want the man to see that there were two pairs of chopsticks on the table, in case it was reported, she would be miserable.
Shuang'er closed the door and came back to sit down.
"What's the matter?"
Lone Star wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked with a slight smirk on the corner of his mouth.
"Ah...... It was Xiao Liuzi who came to inform his son, and after eating, he went to find Manager Li. ”
"Is that Mr. Li?"
"Yes. ”
"Okay, you pack up, I'll go find him. ”
"Okay, Childe go slowly. ”
When Lone Star left, Shuang'er was the only one left in the room, and she stood there in a daze, and it took a while for her to come to her senses, and she was completely relaxed.
After all, this was the first time in her life that she could eat with a high-ranking aristocratic figure, which was something she never dreamed of, and this big man was a god-like son in her heart, which made her almost crazy.
A happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, her face was faintly flushed, and her eyes were full of anticipation and yearning.
Of course, the professional ethics of the slave maid for many years did not make her get carried away because of this, and quickly entered the work of cleaning up the table......
Lone Star came out of the Hidden Bamboo Garden and went straight to the main courtyard of the merchant castle.
"Childe is good. ”
From time to time, servants from work saluted him respectfully and greeted him.
Hmph, it seems that my luck is really good, and now I really become the son of Shangbao.
Lone Star laughed at himself in his heart, but he did not reject this identity of the son, after all, this is not a peaceful and happy earth, in this frightening desolate world, relying on an extra layer of identity will save a lot of trouble.
Well, I don't know where Mr. Na Li works, so let's find someone to ask.
Thinking of this, Lone Star walked over to an old servant who was sweeping the floor.
"This uncle, do you know where Mr. Li is?"
Lone Star asked respectfully.
"Oh, the son is really tormenting the old slave, I don't dare to be the name of 'uncle', Mr. Li is in the steward's room on the right side of the main courtyard. ”
The sweeping old man was still a little surprised to see that Lone Star could be so respectful.
"Thank you. ”
Lone Star turned and left.
The old man who swept the floor smiled and nodded, in this desolate world, the dignity of status is still very strict, so the old slave is also very grateful in his heart.
Lone Star entered through a small door next to the main courtyard hall, and sure enough, he saw a large house with a plaque hanging on the lintel, on which were written three gilt characters: Steward's room, very magnificent.
Well, it seems that the status of this Li manager in Shangbao is not low, and he has such a magnificent office location.
Lone Star thought in his heart, but he didn't know what Mr. Li was looking for him for.
"Knock knock. Is Mr. Li here?"
Lone Star knocked softly on the door.
"But Lone Star, please come in. ”
Lone Star pushed open the door and saw that Manager Li was fiddling with some bags, and the smell of herbs quickly wafted into his nose.
"When I was having dinner just now, a servant came to report that Mr. Li wanted to see me, so I hurried over. ”
"Haha, you don't have to be polite, just call me Uncle Li. Childe should also smell it, these are some pills on the table, which were specially commissioned by the master from White Tiger City, but they are all elixirs for refining the body, which should be enough for Childe to use for a while. ”
Uncle Li pointed to the packets of medicines on the table and said with a smile.
"Oh, ha, Lone Star is here to thank the castle lord and Uncle Li for their kindness, and I will repay it in the future. ”
Looking at these medicinal pills, Lone Star was a little excited in his heart, with these things, his cultivation speed would definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.
"Haha, you don't have to be polite, you just need to understand the master's good intentions. ”
Lone Star frowned and nodded, and at this time his heart was also full of mixed feelings.
What kind of affection is this? Is it family affection? But there is no blood relation; Is friendship what kind of friendship is beyond the boundaries of friendship? Is there kindness? How can there be no unrelated kindness in the world?
Ha, kindness for kindness, affection for affection, why let hesitation block your way.
A lonely heart, a meaningless life, can swing so easily.
"Childe, don't worry too much, since the master trusts you so much, the old man will definitely pursue it to the death. I heard that Childe killed the wolf demon and got a ring, but is there such a thing?"
"Yes, I just kept it as a trophy and wore it on my hand ever since. ”
"Well, can Childe give the ring to the old decay?"
"Uncle Li wants to see it, of course you can. ”
Lone Star took off the ring on the middle finger of his left hand and handed it to Uncle Li.
Uncle Li took the strange ring, his small eyes narrowed into a slit, and the deep wrinkles on his forehead also squirmed like insects a few times, and then suddenly his eyes widened, he nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I wonder what Uncle Li can see?"
Seeing Uncle Li's reaction, Lone Star seemed to feel that he had discovered something surprising.
"Hahaha, Childe is really lucky, this ring is a storage magic weapon refined by the refiner with a rare natural spirit stone Kongwei stone, and it can be controlled by spiritual power, which can be regarded as an excellent storage magic weapon for body refining martial artists. ”
"Oh, I see, ha, I thought it was just a normal ring. ”
"Childe has not entered the martial arts before, naturally he is not very familiar with some things, here is a book "Introduction to Martial Arts", which tells some basic knowledge of martial arts, Childe can take it and read it, I believe it should be beneficial. ”
As he spoke, Uncle Li took out a book made of thick parchment from the bottom drawer of a table and handed it to Lone Star.
"Thank you Uncle Li, I don't know how to use this ring?"
Lone Star took the book, and then eagerly asked how the ring was used, which was his primary concern.
"Ha, Childe doesn't have to be anxious, this ring is controlled by spiritual power, I'll try it for Childe first. ”
After speaking, Uncle Li took the ring, only to see him frowning, and a pair of sharp little eyes staring at the ring.
Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared on the ring face, and then a book appeared on the table next to it, it was a low-grade martial art: Stone Crusher.
"It's really magical, I don't know what the trick is to control this ring?"
"Haha, this ring has passed my test, the communication is very good, ordinary people's mental power should be able to control, concentrate, feel this ring, you will see what you want. ”
Uncle Li smiled lightly and handed the ring to Lone Star.
Lone Star took the ring, closed his eyes, and felt the spatial structure of the ring with his heart.
Slowly, there seemed to be all kinds of pictures floating in the spiritual sea of the lone star, it was the situation inside the ring, he carefully checked, there was a space about three feet inside the ring, there were really a lot of things inside, there were general weapons, there were all kinds of pills, and some gold coins, food, etc., it seemed that they were all left by the wolf demon.
Then, Lone Star slowly opened his eyes, frowned, and a burst of blue light flashed on the ring again, and a long sword appeared on the table.
"Seeing that Childe easily controlled this gift ring, it seems that Childe's spiritual power is extraordinary. ”
Uncle Li smiled and nodded, looking very appreciative of Lone Star.
"Uncle Li praised it, and I want to thank Uncle Li for his guidance. ”
Lone Star was very humble and saluted Uncle Li.
"I didn't expect this wolf demon to rob the martial arts, which happened to be used by the son, which is a very good thing. But the old man reminded that Childe's foundation is weak now, and he must not use it in vain. ”
Lone Star understands. ”
"Okay, you put your things away, and I'll take you somewhere. ”
After speaking, Uncle Li smiled strangely and walked forward.
"Huh, that's ......."
Lone Star snapped into its senses, but quickly settled down again.
He quickly put his things into the Gift Ring and followed.
Uncle Li led Lone Star from the side yard into the backyard, and then walked onto a narrow path.
The path is lined with dense shrubs and towering trees, making it very quiet and mysterious.
After walking through the path, it turned out to be a wide field, with all kinds of wooden stakes, sandbags, iron casseroles and other body refining tools, which felt no smaller than the courtyard on the first floor of the Dianwu Hall.
Some martial artists were constantly training, and when they saw Uncle Li coming, they all gathered neatly.
"Ha, it turns out that this is the place where I learned martial arts last time. It's on this scale. ”
Lone Star took a look at these people, their martial arts aura was above him, they should be at least martial artists with a heavy body refining, and even some were martial artists with a double body refining body.
"Hey...... Ay...... Everyone come here, let me introduce you, this is the guest of honor of the castle master, Lone Star Son, he is going to practice here in the past few days, I hope you will take care of it more. ”
Uncle Li cleared his throat and shouted as straight as he could to the people who came to gather.
"Please rest assured, Manager Li, we will do our best to help the Lone Star Prince. ”
Everyone replied in unison.
"Childe, here is the strength of the Shangbao defense raised by the master himself, although the strength is not as good as the Dianwutang, but it can still cast a basic defense line for the Shangbao, the soldiers here have one heavy body refinement, two heavy, you can also ask them for advice, here is a copy of "Body Refining Foundation", you take it to practice first." ”
Uncle Li took out a parchment book and handed it to Lone Star.
"Thank you Uncle Li, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and live up to the expectations of the castle master. ”
"Okay, that place is a cultivation area specially prepared for you, Childe can come and cultivate on his own these days, but remember, this place is the secret of the merchant castle, and it must not be known to outsiders. ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Li frowned, a murderous aura appeared on his face, and his tone became heavy.
"Uncle Li, rest assured, Lone Star will remember. ”
Uncle Li nodded and left.
Lone Star saw Uncle Li's performance just now, and he actually felt an unusual pressure.
Hmph, it's just that people can't look good, this old man is not simple, and it is very likely that he is hiding his strength.?!
