Chapter 7 Chapter Seven: The Sword of the Hero

It was finally dawn. Activities in various places in the village have stopped, and the morning class has also ended, and the 180 men and women in front of the stage are arranged neatly, forming a strange line. Every boy and girl is sweating profusely, wearing all kinds of odd-shaped odds and ends. On their heads are heavy helmets, shoulder pads, weighted arm sleeves, lead leather waist guards, iron tile leg armor, and iron spiked boots. Stone locks with different weights.Even adults, wearing these gadgets, can hardly last half an hour. No wonder that in three years, more than a third of the people were lost.

It was dawn, but they had finished their morning classes. Morning class is a stick of incense, about half an hour or so. Everyone is exhausted after morning class, and they have to line up to meet those who have returned home victoriously. Put a row of tiger-skin chairs on the stage, and there are more than 20 deacons, big and small, sitting in a row.In the middle is the owner of Jiang Zhuang, and on the left is Gan Fei, the general manager. More than 30 male and female coaches are arranged on both sides of the general platform. The person in charge of each group is watching eagerly from the rear of the team.

Two big men held Xin Wenzhao and Yu Xiaoqiu, who were injured and tired, and stood in the audience. Calculating the time, the two of them have worked hard for twelve full hours, without a rest for a day and a night, even hard-nosed people can't stand it. A big man stepped forward, bowed to the stage, and said: "I want to report to the owner of the villa, Xin Wenzhao and Yu Xiaoqiu are not seriously injured, and they only need to be recuperated for ten days to recover." Xin Wenzhao and Yu Xiaoqiu felt a big stone falling from their hearts, and they only felt that their bodies and minds were slackened, and their whole body was exhausted.

If the big man in charge of the medical examination spit out the bad news of fractures and tendon injuries, and indirectly announced their death sentence, a new mound of loess will be added to the foot of Xiaoluo Mountain, and two poor little innocent souls will be added. Another big man presented two yellow flags at the same time. The owner of the village looked at it for a long time, and asked coldly: Whose idea was it to take back the two flags? Xin Wenzhao's face became even paler. Yu Xiaoqiu shivered, and turned his head to look at Xin Wenzhao involuntarily, complaining in his heart.

It means disciple.Xin Wenzhao answered bravely. The owner sneered, and asked again: Are you guilty? Wen Zhao was horrified, and replied, "My disciple is guilty." The owner waved to the chief executive. The chief manager stood up and said coldly: "Thirty leather whips, where is the disciple who executes the sentence?" A burly man who was in charge of carrying out the punishment in the audience said loudly: "Today, the disciples who will execute the sentence come out." Boys and girls were stunned, and no one dared to move in silence. Only four boys and four girls came out, put down the stone locks in their hands, saluted at the same time and said at the same time: The disciples are here.

implement!The big man in charge yelled. The big man in charge of the medical examination leaned forward and said: "I want to report to the owner of the village, can I wait for him to make a good job before executing it?"His flank was torn apart, and his injury was serious. shut up!Those who cannot stand the test are worthless.Immediate execution, no mercy.The owner of Jiangzhuang said loudly. Eight virgins and boys unloaded Wen Zhao's concealed weapons, held him up to the execution stake beside the platform and hung up his hands. With an order, eight people took turns to whip the whip, and each shouted to count and the other executed.

Thirty leather whips beat Xin Wenzhao to death, the wound burst open, and blood stained his clothes. After the execution was over, he was dragged back to the same place. He could no longer stand up, but crawled and knelt on the ground, his whole body twitching horribly. The owner of the village remained unmoved, and asked in a deep voice: How do you know that the yellow flag on the top of the mountain is a fake? He didn't dare not answer, and said with difficulty: "The overlord, the flag is a flagpole made of bamboo." I found that it was not the original yellow flag, why did I bring it back?

The younger brother must prove that he has been to the top of the mountain. Do you think your whereabouts can be hidden from others? The owner snorted, and said again: Except that your martial arts can be fully used freely when dealing with the enemy, anyone who acts presumptuously must accept severe punishment. The two of you were ordered to go out on business for the first time. Fortunately, the mistakes you made were not serious, so you will be punished lightly.You have to keep in mind that you must never make a mistake next time. Then, the chief executive told everyone the general story of Xin Wenzhao and Yu Xiaoqiu's first mission to the village last night.

Claiming that the eight people guarding the yellow flag last night, four are giant bandits from Jiangxi, and four are green bandits from the Huangshan area. Xin and Yu can exchange for glorious success at the least cost. I am proud of it, and I have to work hard and practice hard in order to stand out. In the future, if the disciples in Zhuangzhong have achieved what they have learned, they will be assigned to go out to do errands. They will never allow the reputation of Xiao Luotian to be ashamed, and the slightest negligence will be enough to destroy their future. He also publicly claimed that in the next seven years, among the existing disciples, only one hundred disciples will go out on the road after completing their studies. There is nothing to say.

In the end, the owner announced that at the beginning of next month, more than 20 well-known masters and celebrities in the universe will come to teach, and a group of selected children will be specially taught. The event of taking the flag last night proved that the disciples of this village can take on great positions, so individual cultivation in advance, and strict requirements for all disciples to work hard, be strong and persevering, is the only way to success. Individual teaching requires reallocation of rooms. From now on, there will be very few opportunities for disciples to practice together. It will be more difficult and stricter than the current group practice. The fate of elimination.

And tell everyone frankly that after graduation, every student is the hero of one side, riches and honors are at their fingertips, and no one dares to defy him. Xin Wenzhao had been injured for five days, and before he fully recovered, he put himself into the endless and cruel training of the Dahong Furnace. In early October, new coaches arrived one after another. To the surprise of all the male and female disciples, these new coaches were all gloomy and sad-faced people, aged between fifty and seventy, with a withdrawn and eccentric personality, and complex expressions of resentment, hatred, and helplessness in their eyes. To the deacons in the villa, he never pretended to be polite, and even to the owner of the village who was in charge of life and death, he often showed rebellious acts of resistance. But the deacons in Zhuangzhong didn't mind. Xin Wenzhao moved to the elegant room at the back, and lived in a large room with Liang Zhihao and another companion named Cen Shiqing.An old teacher in his 60s surnamed Yong is responsible for the guidance. This old instructor Yong has a humble appearance and a withdrawn personality. Except for the necessary instructions during the exercise, he doesn't say a word all day long, like a gourd without a mouth. Learn everything from the beginning. The old Yong's method is very different from the previous ones. He emphasizes internal training and does not pay attention to external training. Coach Yong taught for three years.During this period, Xin Wenzhao's artistic career was advancing by leaps and bounds, thanks to the strict guidance and supervision of Coach Yong. After many times of tricks and countless tests by many unknown people, Coach Yong finally had no skills to teach, and he has since disappeared. Then came a middle-aged man surnamed Dong, and began another series of horrific years of training. During this period, he was sent to the mountains to track, fight, escape, endure hunger and cold with unknown masters. Anyone must be tortured to extract a confession every three months. Each time lasts for five days. They experience all kinds of inhuman torture. During this time, he grew up. A good diet, first-class medicine, and the best internal and external Baoyuan Peiben ointment pills and powdered wine made his physique surprisingly strong. At the age of sixteen, he was nearly seven feet tall. After six long years and cruel and strict training, these children gradually grew up and became strong young people. The smiles disappeared from their faces, and the innocence has long since disappeared, replaced by the seriousness of adults and the gloom beyond ordinary people. Training in this inhuman state, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of people are trained.Dark, alert, cruel, ruthless.As alert and cruel as a leopard, as cunning as a fox, as ferocious as a lion, and as greedy as a wolf, he is a deformed superman between man and beast. Flogging was abolished that year, replaced by milder but intolerable punishments. Those who are at fault must pour one bucket of water into another bucket in a deep eight-foot-square pit dug in the wilderness in their spare time except for their main homework. Someone above monitors and counts, and each stick of incense must be poured up and down three hundred times, even at night, and they are only allowed to sleep for an hour and a half, and this lasts for ten days to half a month.The time limit depends on the size of the fault. This kind of punishment seems simple and not strenuous, but after a long time, it is not the same thing at all.Fatigue makes the whole body lose its strength.What's worse is that this kind of repetitive and hopeless work will drive people crazy, and the number of people who commit suicide because of this is three times more than those who are whipped to death. The penalty of death was also abolished, and duels were introduced in its place. Let two people who committed the death penalty fight each other to the death, and the one who survived will be imprisoned until another person who committed the death penalty is born, and then arrange another life-and-death duel for him. Therefore, in the death row, a dueling prisoner is imprisoned for a long time. Unless both parties die together, the death row will never be empty. The second day of the first lunar month is the day when all must gather every year. On this day in the seventh year, Xin Wenzhao discovered that among the 180 companions three years ago, only 112 were left.That is to say, during the three years of individual teaching, Xiao Luoshan buried another sixty-eight companions. In the fall of this year, Xin Wenzhao and more than 20 companions with the best grades no longer had a better coach to teach art, and a coach Di who was about fifty years old was replaced. From then on, his fate took a turn for the better. In the past seven years, no one knew the details of Luo Tian and Luo Tian, ​​let alone the purpose of the owner in training these virgins. They only heard that they would be the dominant heroes when they made their debut in the future, and that they would be prosperous and rich just around the corner, that's all. Everyone has doubts in their hearts, how much gold and silver is needed to open such a large-scale training place for a long time? Who has such a strong fortune to be able to do this job? But no one dared to ask, and no one asked to get an answer. This coach Di is completely different from the previous coaches. He is slender, gentle and gentle. He always smiles. Xin Wenzhao fell in love with this Coach Di at first sight. This was the first time he fell in love with someone in seven years. He changed his residence again, occupying a single courtyard with a living room and a room for himself. In addition to learning art from Coach Di, he had to go to the front yard to meet a few middle-aged masters to learn some juggling and receive some guidance on how to deal with people. In the blink of an eye, it was August, and Coach Di had been here for a month.On this day, Coach Di instructed him to finish his qi training, and said with a smile: "Wen Zhao, I have a few words to ask you." Disciples respectfully listen to the teachings.He sat upright and bowed his head respectfully. Are you happy here? He was stunned, feeling extremely shocked and wronged. For the first time in six years, someone asked him such an abrupt question, and he was at a loss. Coach Di laughed and said: I guide four people, and you are the one with the highest talent and the strongest understanding among the four, so I want to know how you feel in your heart so that I can teach you according to your aptitude. The disciple didn't know how to start.He mumbled a reply. Coach Di's smile disappeared, and he asked seriously: You didn't think about your future?You don't intend to know what they want you to do in the future? He was dumbfounded in shock, his face turned pale and he said, "Senior, I have learned from you, this disciple must report these words to the chief supervisor." Instructor Di laughed loudly, his voice shaking the roof tiles, and he said after laughing: Yes, you must report every word, or you will be finished. Does the senior know the result? hehe!Of course I know.Here, I am just the instructor, there is no title of master and apprentice between you and me, and there is no family relationship to speak of. If other coaches said something like that, he wouldn't live until tomorrow.And me, lol!Don't worry, Master Jiang doesn't dare to kill me yet. senior said Your coaches in the past were all poor wretches who were forced to come to teach. They had families, children, sons and daughters, and they exchanged his own life for the safety of the family.Even if they die without making any mistakes, they will die without a problem when their art industry is handed over. The foot of Xiao Luo Mountain is where their bones are buried. senior Ha ha!As for me, I have no home and no tiredness, wandering alone in the rivers and lakes, without care and care.I am not completely forced to come here to seek death. The owner of your villa wants to learn my Da Luo sword, and he has been thinking about it for ten years. Before I hand over this set of sword skills, he will never kill me. But I won't make things difficult for you, you can tell Master Jiang exactly what I said, okay!Let's not talk about that. Over the past month, I have fully understood your cultivation level. From today onwards, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life. It is not only a weapon, but also a book of self-cultivation. It depends on your fortune. .Take the sword! He took the long sword and offered it with both hands. Master Di held the sword in both hands, and said solemnly: "Son, tell me what you think about kendo." He squatted at the side and replied respectfully: "Yujian is the same as the heaven and earth, and the meaning is as good as the gods. The key is to be fast, ruthless and accurate, as quiet as a virgin, and as moving as a dragon." Enough, enough, that's all they can teach you, turn you into a bunch of bloodthirsty walking dead.Coach Di said with a smile. He couldn't help shivering, and said in surprise: Disciple asks senior to show me the way. There are three classes of martial arts swords, which are classified as the sword of the knight, the sword of the hermit, and the sword of the devil.The sword of a chivalrous man uses benevolence as the front, etiquette as the collar, righteousness as the spine, faith as the spine, and wisdom as the handle; use it to walk the rivers and lakes, go straight to the front, hit the top, case, and luck Beside, let's go up to the floating clouds and go down to the Jedi era. Disciples are stupid, and it is difficult to understand its true meaning.He said sarcastically. You will understand later.My eyes are not blind, the moon is covered by floating clouds, and the altar is covered with dirt. This is only a temporary change, not a constant.It's like a cone in the sac, like a dragon's dive; as long as you use your eyes and ears more, you will eventually break through the sac and soar one day. Dare to explain the sword of the hermit? Instructor Di laughed wildly, and said after laughing: The whole world is raging, and it is the duty of sword learners.What Di learned was the sword of a knight, not as good as others.You must have this heart, I hope you can realize this great way, I will die without regret.With sincerity and righteousness, I will impart to you the Supreme Heart Dharma. The disciples are taught with sincerity. Instructor Di stood standing with his sword in his hand, while Xin Wenzhao knelt down in front of him.
