Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 961: Lu Qibin's Past - Extra : Writing a Book
On the way back to the village, Li Yang asked, "I heard from Li Ming that you want to write a book? Why?"

"I don't know either···"

Huo Xing was a little nervous, but still spoke intermittently, "It's just that, I don't know why, but I always feel like you are doing something big.

For this reason, Elder Xu dared to disobey the sect's orders...

Miss, you are also conducting research at the risk of being discovered. Miss Li Ming is a disciple of Xingguan Sect, and she is also conducting research in secret...

I don't understand what this has to do with cultivation, but I just have an inexplicable impulse...Miss, you may laugh at me, but I feel that I am also involved in this matter, so I want to record everything that happened. If I have the opportunity to return to my hometown in the future, maybe I can pass it on to my family."

"Stupid! The more times like this, the more you have to be careful. You wrote a book and left traces. What if the Xingguan Sect's gang found it at the last moment? Li Ming said that one of Xu Ming's servants escaped!"

At this point, Li Yang suddenly fell silent and sighed, "Forget it, why should I tell you so much? I'll just burn it when the time comes."

Huo Xing opened his mouth, at a loss...

···
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.

Huo Xing's work was the same as usual. He helped the villagers herd sheep, plow the fields, and harvest during the day. At night, he assisted Li Yang in stargazing and secretly passed letters and information between Li Yang and Li Ming.

In addition, he is learning to read with Li Ming and constantly recording everything he experiences.

"Ms. Li Ming, please take a look at how I wrote it." Huo Xing handed the experience he wrote to Li Ming, hoping that she could give some suggestions.

At first, Li Ming was rather wary of Huo Xing's request for her to teach him how to read, but later she discovered that this uncle really wanted to learn, and had quite a few ideas... Although his ideas were a little bit naive, they did give her a new direction for thinking.

In his constant contact with Huo Xing, Li Ming found that he seemed to have some feelings for him. It was not love, but a kind of dependence similar to that of an elder.

Her grandfather didn't know how to take care of his granddaughter, and was busy looking for the servant who ran away from Xu Ming's house...
Not to mention her parents, they abandoned her and ran away!
Therefore, there is a tall and gentle middle-aged uncle who can talk to her, and these uncles are still studying hard, so naturally they have a lot of common language.

"good."

Li Ming flipped through the book written by Huo Xing and praised it, "Although scholars may think that the content of the book is too colloquial, and some of the words used are even very vulgar, but for a man who started learning in his thirties and is now over forty, you can definitely be considered a genius!"

"is it?"

Huo Xing scratched the back of his head, quite delighted, "I never thought that what I wrote could be published on the big... "

"A very elegant place." Li Ming added with a smile.

"Yes, it is a refined place."

Huo Xing smiled awkwardly, "I just hope that the book I wrote can be spread to my hometown. The village chief can read, so maybe I can open a half-board in the village, and the village chief can explain my experience to the children in the village.

Even if I am not a soul master, I think if the children in the village knew my experience, they would not think of staying in the village all their lives, but would think of going out to try their luck.

I also left the village and went through various places to have such experience... Of course, I am definitely not as good as you, Miss Li Ming. After all, I am just an ordinary person."

"You are not ordinary, you are already a soul master now."

Li Ming smiled, and then said seriously, "Moreover, if you really count it, your experience is much richer than that of most soul masters. At least the direct disciples of the Xingguan clan don't go out most of the time, so their experience must be far less than yours!"

Huo Xing just smiled innocently. Then, Li Ming picked up a pen, ready to add some content to the back of the book, and asked, "Where do you live in your hometown?"

"I don't know exactly where it is, but it seems to be in a village on the border between the Xingluo Empire and the Tiandou Empire. I grew up listening to the legends of the Soul Saint in the village."

Huo Xing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. "I don't know how to get back now. I only know that the name of the village is Holy Soul Village. I heard that it was called Rice Village before, but more than a hundred years ago, a Soul Saint walked out of the village, so it was renamed Holy Soul Village."

"Holy Soul Village? Rice Village?"

Li Ming seemed to be thinking about something. "That's a little hard to find. After all, there are not only a few villages with these two names on the mainland, but you have determined the range."

So, Li Ming wrote a line at the end of the book: If anyone is touched by reading this book in the future, please build a fence for villagers to communicate in Shenghun Village (formerly known as Daohe Village) at the junction of Xingluo and Tiandou. Thank you very much!
"Isn't this bad?" Huo Xing was a little worried. "Except for the villagers, other people won't be interested in the book I wrote, right?"

"It's okay, it's not a mandatory requirement."

Li Ming closed the book and handed it to Huo Xing with a smile, "Since you wrote this book not just for yourself, why don't you be bolder and find a chance to make it public in the future? Besides, it's good to be prepared for a rainy day."

Huo Xing thought about it for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement. After all, the research of Li Yang and Li Ming was not allowed by Xingguan Sect. Even in Xingluo City, before the strength of these two people reached a level that could make the elders and the sect master in the sect wary, if they were exposed, they might encounter great obstacles...

···
"Huo Xing is from Holy Soul Village?"

Zhou Qing was a little surprised when he heard this, and found that this Holy Soul Village was really a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

"Not necessarily here."

Lu Qibin said, "When I was young, I traveled to the Xingluo Empire and encountered eight villages called Holy Soul Village."

"That's true, but it seems that we are the only Holy Soul Village located on the border between Tiandou and Xingluo, and our Holy Soul Village used to be called Daohe Village."

Zhou Qing smiled, but he was not sure, and just asked Lu Qibin to continue...

···
After saying goodbye to Li Ming, Huo Xing went to the city to purchase some supplies. However, before returning to the village, he found a small alley in the city and gave some of his dry biscuits to these beggars.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

"You are such a good man!"

"You gave us enough to eat, will it be enough for you?"

The beggars happily took the dry biscuits, some wolfed them down, some expressed gratitude, and some even cared whether Huo Xing would be hungry.

"I am okay."

Seeing the beggars' concern for him, Huo Xing felt that his kindness was not in vain. These poor people were not as shameless as Miss Li Yang said.

If they were not disabled and no one wanted to hire them, how could they give up their dignity and live on charity in such a dark alley?

However, Huo Xing could never have imagined that in an imperial capital like Xingluo City, there would actually be beggars...
