Chapter 43 Tiger and Monkey
Back mountain, on a gentle slope halfway up the mountain.
Overgrown with weeds and climbing thorns. The branches, which were as messy as white bone claws, were entangled with green vines and trembled left and right in the breeze from time to time. The only empty thing here is a small tomb, which is quite low and the tombstone is only half a person's height.
The stele is gray and made of a rough and uneven stone. Li Chu's name was crookedly engraved on it, scratched on it by thirteen-year-old Li Wei with a sharp stone.
More than four years have passed, and the carvings have become blurry and almost invisible. There are also many fast-growing vines and moss climbing up both sides of the tombstone, with two or three patches of green inlaid in it.
Card Xiu stood in front of the tombstone and looked at it silently for a while.
He placed a bouquet of white flowers in front of the tombstone.
Then he found some stones around and began to scrape off the moss on the tombstone inch by inch, and also pulled down various parasitic plants. With the tombstone as the center, Kaxiu pulled up all the plants within a three-meter radius and threw them into the distance.
Within a few moments, the area around the cemetery was empty.
Holding a long-handled sharp stone in his hand, Kaxiu squatted in front of the tombstone and carved Li Chu's name, year, month and day with all his strength.
This time the font is dignified and neat.
Ka Xiu once again stood in front of the tombstone, his right hand pressed a little below the shoulder of his left hand, imitating the priest: "Our Father in heaven, may everyone hallow your name, may your kingdom come. May your The Sacred Heart is like heaven, blessing the earth..."
He is not religious.
But this is just a good blessing for the deceased.
After staying in place for a moment, Kaxiu turned around. He suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was familiar and was slightly stunned.
Slowly raised his fist and turned away: "Goodbye..."
Five days later, in the building complex where Feng Xiang Sect's official disciples were.
To the left of the edge is a small white stone house.
Kashu was still maintaining a strange and awkward posture, with his whole body squatting in a horse stance and his body leaning forward slightly.
He stood up slightly on his tiptoes, and his head dropped slightly to the ground.
This posture is very weird. To stand firmly requires a good center of gravity and strong body control, and it is very physically demanding.
A regular cycle of inhaling and exhaling.
Ka Xiu's chest rose and fell rhythmically, and the odor on his body, which was like river mud, gradually dissipated and turned into a faint fragrance. The black membrane covering the entire body slowly becomes transparent, revealing the sharp-edged and strong muscles underneath.
"Huh..." He exhaled heavily and opened his eyes. The original weird movements also returned to a standing posture.
"The effect is too bad... The effect of the ointment is estimated to be only one-third or even one-fourth of the potion." Card Xiu shook his hands, and the friction between the skin of his fingers was as slippery as a catfish.
He could see the comparative effects of ointments and potions through the progress of his martial arts, but in fact he could feel them during normal practice. The stinging sensation of the medicine on the skin and muscles is far beyond that of the ointment, and the stimulation is at least many times stronger.
The more painful it is, the more effective it is, and the more powerful the medicine, the faster the progress.
In the real world, Kaxiu, who is used to filling buckets of potion with water, is not very able to tolerate the slow training of the ointment.
Maybe it's time to follow through with the original plan.
He glanced at the sunshine outside the window and picked up a gray fighting suit with wind patterns and cloud patterns embroidered on the sleeves next to it.
I cleaned the house casually and strode out the door.
Today is the day of the monthly test at noon. Of course, the monthly test here is not a large-scale competition for the whole sect. It is just a monthly martial arts progress check for the three disciples of Lisha's sect. It's probably like three people each playing a game.
Although Levi was a senior brother in the past, he was one generation ahead of Dahmer and Sharon in the youth training camp. But every time she took the monthly test, she was always at the bottom, even Sharon, a girl, couldn't beat her. I can't get over the hurdle in my heart, and I can't exert any amount of strength.
As a warrior, character is really important, as it basically determines your fighting style. A submissive person can't even let go of his fists, and a domineering and arrogant person can't even use fists to defend you, but you feel like he will explode and hurt someone at any time.
In fact, practicing martial arts can effectively change a person's body and spirit. However, this change has a certain limit.
It varies from person to person and is not absolute.
Ka Xiu can actually clearly feel that he has been changed. He has become braver, calmer and more confident. And there won't be much revulsion when killing someone, and there's even a hint of excitement. Although he suspected that this somewhat anti-human mentality was the change brought about by the strange and weird shadow...
Ten minutes later, Ka Xiu came to a steeple building.
Go through the long corridor and turn right, in front of the door near the end of the road. He stopped and knocked lightly on the door.
"Teacher, I'm here."
"come in."
A familiar husky voice came from inside the door.
"Yes." Ka Xiu opened the door.
In front of him was an empty quiet room, with square gray-white stone slabs on the ground. The two windows on the top of the wall shed sunlight, making the entire space transparent and bright.
In the center of the quiet room, Lisha was sitting cross-legged on the ground wearing a light yellow fighting uniform. About four or five meters away from her, Sharon Damo was sitting cross-legged on the ground in a gray fighting uniform.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two looked over.
Sharon's eyes were a little complicated, mixed with a hint of strangeness. It seems that he doesn't recognize this Senior Brother Li Wei.
Damo's eyes were filled with anger and fear, with anger accounting for 30% and fear accounting for 70%, and his expression was a little timid.
Seeing Kashu looking over, Damo lowered his head quickly.
His butt was twisting restlessly, as if someone was warming himself under the floor. To be honest, he was afraid, he was afraid of this somewhat unfamiliar Levi. It felt like a monkey provoking a sleeping tiger. The tiger was asleep, so the monkey was able to show off his power. Standing on the tiger, pulling its hair.
Once the tiger woke up, the monkey would be in trouble.
Now Damo was like the monkey with two legs bitten off, hanging on the end of the tree with his hands, trembling as he watched the tiger climbing the tree. This was undoubtedly a torment.
"Close the door, come over, sit over there."
Lisha instructed.
Kashu nodded, turned around and closed the door. Then he walked to Damo and Sharon and sat down.
Coincidentally, the person on the right was Damo, and the distance between the two was only ten centimeters. Kaxiu could clearly see that the moment he sat down, Damo's body instantly stiffened.
And he secretly looked at him from the corner of his eye.
It seems that beating him twice to incontinence has played a very effective deterrent role, and Kaxiu is very pleased about this.
Thank you Liu Qingnianshi for the 200 starting coins reward, thank you Gaoyang Yuyue for the 500 starting coins reward, and thank you for the 100 starting coins reward for the name-giving monster who can't name.
There is one more chapter to wait, something delayed me, sorry.
