Chapter 8: Mastering horsemanship, taking advantage of the Tianhe sword, learning swordsmanship, and becoming a "swordsman"!
The sky is bright.
At Dutou Du's house, Ji Xiu, who was busy and sweating, rode back to the stable of Lin's House without stopping.
"Morning, Brother Ji."
Old man Yao, with his hands in his pockets and humming a little tune, brightened up when he saw the person coming. He smiled and took out two warm eggs and stuffed them into the man's hands.
"Thank you, old man."
There was no one around, so Ji Xiu took a quick glance, casually took it, said "thank you", and went to fiddle with the fodder to prepare to feed the horses.
Wait for Ji Xiu to go far away.
Start to work.
Looking at his busy figure, which was sweating all over when he came, Old Man Yao hummed:
“After all, they are young people.”
"I was just pretending a while ago, but no one from the main family came, and there was no sign of the second young lady either. I don't know who I'm pretending to be, but it's useless."
"Look, it's still dark now, and he's not here. He gets up later than me, an old man."
"But fortunately, I am still willing to work. As long as I work, it's fine."
After watching for a while, he saw that Ji Xiu was organized and did not make any mistakes.
Old man Yao squatted under the eaves of his wooden house with his hands in his pockets. He picked up some dry firewood and a piece of charcoal, lit the stove, then sat on a stool and watched, nodding with satisfaction from time to time.
Ever since this kid named 'Ji Xiu' came to this stable.
All the work is taken care of.
He would take some of the refined rice, flour, eggs and beans home in a bag after he had picked out the leftovers, without fighting or competing with them.
Coupled with his superb horse-raising skills, the horses became even fatter and stronger.
It was extremely rare for Master Lin to come to heaven. He condescended to come and took away a few horses, ready to go out to do some business.
It happened that this boy was not at home, and he praised himself a lot at that time. Until now, old man Yao is as happy as ever.
So, watching Ji Xiu bending over to open the stall and letting the horse run around, Old Man Yao couldn't help but think to himself:
"Boy, you must not leave"
"If you leave, the good days of the old man will be over."
At this time, Yao Shi, who got up half a beat later than his "master" and "grandfather", came out yawning.
When Old Man Yao saw this, he was immediately displeased. After comparing himself with him, he didn't tolerate him and kicked him:
"You little brat, you get up later than me and you can't even do anything. Why don't you go and help your brother Ji by cleaning out the horse manure?"
"Do you still want to eat?"
"Ouch!"
The noise not far away vaguely reached my ears.
But Ji Xiu, who was whipping the gravel road with the reins and riding his horse in circles, had no intention of paying attention to anything else.
Just because of this moment,
Ji Xiu, with a twinkling look in his eyes, was looking at the brilliant Dao talisman appearing before his eyes——
[Feed the horse, add hay, tame it, and progress in 'Horsemanship' +1! ]
[Equestrianism: (1000/1000)]
[You have to tame a horse a thousand times before you can succeed. The Master of the Scriptures will completely master the "horsemanship"! ]
[Currently, you can advance martial arts and magic: 1. 】
When the last horse returned to the stable obediently in Ji Xiu's hands.
Looking at the Dao talisman, it shows the complete accomplishment of the "skill".
Ji Xiu glanced at the water in the wooden barrel on the side.
All I saw was my own reflection in it.
His face was pale, his eyes were dark circles, and his whole body was filled with fatigue, which made him feel sad.
This time,
He got up at five in the morning and went to Duan Dutou's house to light the stove, feed hay, remove horse manure, and wash clothes.
It takes more than half an hour every day, and there is no time to practice sword fighting in the air.
After finishing his work, in order to prevent the manager of the Lin Residence from checking him out, he had to trot all the way to the stable to feed the horses and put them in a pen. He had to work for a whole day before he had any free time.
Then he rushed back to Duan's house and finished the work he needed to do. Only then did he have some spare time to borrow a broadsword from the rack in the dutou's courtyard and practice a few exercises.
Maybe it's because time is short.
Maybe it's exhaustion.
He was completely confused about the tricks of the sword and Duan Dutou's explanations from time to time.
Until today, I have practiced for several days.
I haven't figured out the reason for it.
It also told him to stop thinking of himself as a "martial arts genius".
"If it's not, then it's not. As the saying goes, 'There are three thousand roads, and all of them lead to the same destination.' They are just different paths that lead to the same destination, and it still depends on your own efforts!" After a slight disappointment.
Ji Xiu regained his composure and touched the copy of the secret book in his arms.
His eyes gradually became hot and scorching.
Am I not also doing something different and relying entirely on myself?
No difference!
[Do you want to advance the payment of 'Tianhe Sword Technique'? ]
"Advance."
He muttered to himself.
next moment,
A memory that belonged to him but seemed not to belong to him gradually came to his mind.
That is the memory of a 'swordsman'.
That swordsman was also called Ji Xiu.
He looked at a young man who looked exactly like him, standing in front of a waterfall that looked like an upside-down river in the sky, holding a single-edged machete, practicing his skills day after day, seemingly tireless.
The training made his eyes go from dull and cloudy to as sharp as an eagle's.
The two rough palms were covered with calluses as thick as rocks;
Until the end, it lasted for hundreds of days and nights, almost a year, without distraction.
At a certain moment, the swordsman seemed to have a sudden inspiration, and the inspiration he had accumulated for thousands of days finally condensed into one point——
Then he swung a knife
It was like flowing light, drawing a knife to cut the water, cutting open a section of the waterfall behind it, making it smooth and flat, causing thousands of waves to splash!
So far,
The knife is ready.
Put away the knife,
Sheathed.
Memories rushed into Ji Xiu’s mind like a torrent.
From blur.
It started to become clearer.
At this moment,
Ji Xiu unconsciously spread out his palms.
But I saw that my thumb and index finger had thick calluses formed.
He looked at the barrel filled with water again.
The boy who should have had a sallow complexion and dark eyes
I don’t know when, my eyes have become as sharp and bright as a knife.
It's like,
During those hundreds of days and nights, Ji Xiu stood on the rock, drawing his sword and cutting the water all day long, practicing his sword devoutly, and only then did he achieve success.
So, reborn!
【Tianhe Sword Skills: Getting Started】
[Advance conditions: Only when you unsheathe ten thousand swords can you achieve something! ]
"I have mastered it?!"
For a moment, Ji Xiu murmured to himself, there has never been a moment when he was so eager to hold the knife!
at this time,
"Brother Ji, please make way. The old man asked me to help you clean it up."
Yao Shi, who was running to the east stable carrying two wooden barrels, saw Ji Xiu turning around in the blink of an eye.
So, my eyes met his.
But when he saw those sharp eagle eyes
Suddenly he let out an "Ah", was startled, staggered, and was about to fall to the ground!
Fortunately.
Ji Xiu reached out and grabbed his collar to prevent him from falling flat on his face.
Ji Xiu lowered his eyebrows slightly, closed his eyes, and took a breath.
Wait until you open your eyes again,
The terrifying blade light in his eyes had disappeared, and everything returned to normal:
"Are you okay?"
"Be careful." He smiled gently.
But in Yao Shi's eyes, it made him frightened and even doubt his life.
"It's okay."
He patted his body and just stood up, seeming to be hesitant to say something.
However, at this time, Ji Xiu's figure had slowly walked away.
"It's really like seeing a ghost, that look."
"How come they are exactly the same as those in the inner courtyard of the mansion, where they have maids and servants to serve them, and even have their own courtyards and stewards?"
"Or am I dazzled and haven't woken up yet?"
Yao Shi rubbed his eyes and scratched his hair, unable to figure out what was going on. However, he was afraid to catch up with Ji Xiu and ask him for clarification.
In the end, he could only shake his head, put the matter behind him, and continued to go to work with a sad face, carrying the bucket.
only.
From now on,
When he sees Ji Xiu again, I'm afraid this young boy will have some shadows in his heart.
Thus unconsciously.
Yes, with respect.
