The morning light illuminates the pupils, arousing the trembling of the eyelashes. The pupils that escaped from the darkness stare at the light blue ceiling. The body that gradually recovers from pain is nostalgic for the warmth of the quilt, but the soul abducted by habit wears the cold and pulls it.
Lin Shuwen numbly walked towards today's suffering.
"Does your body hurt? If you can't hold on anymore, I can let you rest for a day?"
Feng Xuyuan was holding the dining table with both arms, and the glasses-shaped instrument was full of numerical values. She was checking the physical condition of her disciple.
His palms could no longer hold the rice bowl tightly. Lin Shuwen tremblingly picked up the spoon and drank the white porridge bit by bit. He could no longer care about the tingling at the tip of his tongue. His twitching abdomen took away his newly awakened consciousness. His stiff arms rested on
The abdomen and lower body were opened, and the stomach bag, the only one with other senses, was hugged.
Mei'er jumped into her master's arms, softly stroking Lin Shuwen's belly like a warm baby. He slowly pulled out his arms and stroked his beloved pet with tenderness on his face.
"Listen to Master, because Master, you won't kill me..."
There was no trace of resistance in his soft voice. After a week of training, Lin Shuwen had completely lost the impetuousness and anger he had when he first arrived. Now he has given up most of his thinking, and all he has is a soul numbed by pain. The corner of his mouth
Curving a curve, he remembered the plot of a novel he had read: In order to relieve the adolescent agitation of the young men under his command, the military instructors increased the training intensity, making them so tired that they had no thoughts and even no energy to think and do anything.
What I didn't expect was that now that I had been trained to the last bit of strength by my master, I found it difficult to even use my brain, let alone drive.
However, Feng Xuyuan's originally smiling face gradually became stiff. She lowered her head and recalled the scene more than twenty years ago. There was a man who also suffered from the devil for thirty days at the beginning without any complaints, and then...
"That's it. Then, an hour after you finish eating, you can go to the mountains. Walk the first two kilometers and do some preparatory exercises, and then speed up and run the next three kilometers."
"knew."
"Hey, do you really have nothing to complain to me about?"
"No, because I do feel that I have become stronger. Master will not harm me..."
Lin Shuwen has been obedient to his teachers since he was a child. This is also due to the fact that he has met several very good teachers. Coach Li, who taught him Taekwondo, was also as strict as Feng Xuyuan. When he was only ten years old, he was afraid of pain.
, try different ways to skip classes, but as long as you come to the gym, the coach will personally reprimand, teach, and train yourself. He does this to everyone. As long as you stand in the gym and bow to him next time, he will "old things"
"New account" will be calculated separately for you together.
As long as you feel growth, it means that your teacher did not harm you. No matter how strict and mean he was, you just need to remember that you were the one before, and you couldn't even hit a light target.
In Lin Shuwen's heart, those teachers who are willing to teach him are worthy of his respect, so he will accept all requests and accept their forging like a silent piece of iron, no matter what he will experience.
But the man Feng Xuyuan taught was not as kind and grateful as Lin Shuwen.
The upside-down ponytail swept through the branches of the mountain road. Feng Xuyuan followed closely the boy who was stumbling and running in front of him. Her glasses showed the burning part of the disciple. Feng Xuyuan knew very well what kind of pain Lin Shuwen was suffering, and because of this, she
Waiting for Lin Shuwen to complain and cry to herself like those children, even the insults and accusations that drive her crazy with pain. She understands that her thoughts are crazy, and she also knows that everything she has done is out of bounds, but the pain in her chest twenty years ago
The wound made her lose her mind, and the man was also so silent
He accepted all her requests and gained his own appreciation. Then, the sword that penetrated him revealed his depression. He did not possess proud perseverance, he just hid his resentment in his heart, waiting to explode.
"The next question is, what will happen to the elemental spirit attacked by the conflicting element..."
"When the amount of energy penetration... reaches the coverage line... the elemental spirit will... ahem... return to nature... phew... then, a new elemental spirit will be born, uh... at the same time, the contract and memory will be lost...
"
The boy's arms are already covered with blood-red lines, which are the result of the muscles being torn apart. The straight body exudes heat, melting into human-shaped mist in the dry cold of winter, and the chasing water droplets connect into water lines, in red and white.
written on the skin. There is perseverance hidden in the half-opened and half-closed eyes, but that is not the expression of Master's "hope".
"Miss Feng Xuyuan, are you thinking about something?"
Cangyue flew out of Feng Xuyuan's shadow and asked Feng Xuyuan, who was holding her chest in a daze. She analyzed the values on the instrument screen with her vertical eyes. She was worried that Feng Xuyuan, who was thinking about something, would forget to monitor the instrument. After all,
The principle of training is to completely consume the strength of every muscle in Lin Shuwen's body, and then squeeze it again according to the recovery situation every day, completely releasing and forcing out all the potential in his body, but such training is tantamount to death torture.
, instruments are needed to monitor his status at all times to ensure that he is close to the danger line, so she is worried that Feng Xuyuan will put his master in danger because of his daze.
"Zangetsu, this disciple of mine is not a masochist, right...?"
"Huh? Of course not! My master is kind, friendly and mentally healthy, how could he be a masochist!?"
"oh……"
Feng Xuyuan lowered her eyes, signaled Lin Shuwen to stop moving, looked at the disciple who was lying on the ground panting and recovering, and began to speak as if talking to himself.
"There was once a person like him. No matter what I asked or how I trained, he kept silent. The children who were in the same period as him would yell at me and act coquettishly. He was the only one who silently carried out the tasks like an adult. I felt at the time that he was strong-willed.
, is a malleable talent, and then slowly, I began to pay special attention to him, and finally determined that he would be my heir, the next generation owner of these two children."
Feng Xuyuan pulled out the glowing black and white pendant from her chest. Cangyue keenly saw a long-remaining penetrating wound in the ravine illuminated by the lightsaber. She seemed to know the reason why that person failed to inherit it in the end.
"Later, I passed "Shadow" to him and let him go out in the society. As a result, when I returned to China and prepared to enjoy my old age, he asked me for the remaining "Hui". I needed "Hui" at that time.
Assisting Shadow Kill to save the country, I postponed it for some time. After three years, that is, during these three years, I began to be misunderstood and slandered by the mortals in the world. In the end, I had no choice but to bring my disciples here, and then in Ye Yuan
He came the day those children left school."
The old wound on her chest began to ache faintly. Feng Xuyuan looked at Lin Shuwen, who was surrounded by animals in his waking state, and continued to tell the ending to the only listener.
"He asked me for "Hui" again. At that time, because of Ye Yuan's help, I already knew that he was slandering me behind my back. Even the invaders who targeted the country at that time had his shadow. I proposed a swordsmanship competition, and then I sadly discovered
His sword path was already full of murderous intent, directed at me. With an ironclad anger, I knocked the "shadow" out of his hand and announced that he would be expelled from the school. Later, he begged me,
Just like that child before, he prayed for my forgiveness and hoped to practice under me again. At that time, Ye Yuan saw that I was soft-hearted and told him to kill himself.
, thinking that it would be impossible for an egoist like him to do this, but he dug out his right eye without hesitation, and then I completely relented."
Cangyue looked at Feng Xuyuan, who had completely lost her former look, and covered her back with black wings, patting her gently a few times. Feng Xuyuan thanked her in a low voice, looking at the "hui" and "shadow" lying quietly in her hands.
, made up for the past ending.
"I asked him to pick up the "Shadow" and then follow me to the main room to heal his injuries. Then when he arrived behind me, there was a sudden explosion outside the dojo. At this moment of confusion, he took the "Shadow"
He stabbed me in the chest. But he did not take my life. Instead, he told his dissatisfaction and anger over the years with his bleeding eyes, blaming all the pain and suffering he had suffered over the years on me. But I care.
That's not what I'm concerned about. What I care about is that the children led by Ye Yuan are resisting the intruders for me. I used the healing power of "Hui" to desperately injure him, but after losing my strength, I could only watch helplessly.
A group of children were massacred by a trap that was set at an unknown time. I had placed my hope in the temple and Taoist temple not far away, but until the military and police arrived, their mountain gates were closed."
Feng Xuyuan rubbed the dark "shadow" in her heart and whispered to calm his guilt, telling him that she had never blamed him.
"You should have listened to Ye Yuan's story with him. Later, I completely retreated into seclusion and only kept in contact with Ye Yuan and his family for twenty years. I no longer trust anyone, and I dare not trust anyone anymore."
"So the character of Master Menghulu reminds you of Damon, and you wonder if he is the second hidden poisonous snake?"
"..."
Feng Xuyuan acquiesced to Canyue's conclusion. She knew what kind of character the child she met after twenty years was like. She also conducted observations and tests for more than a month, and even recorded the number of times Lin Shuwen solved personal needs.
.But despite this, he was obedient and uncomplaining and still overlapped with that man's figure. The existence of a knot in her heart made her more and more afraid, worried that she had looked away again.
Cangyue grinned, she put away the black wings on Feng Xuyuan's back, and pointed with the wingtips at the owner who was having fun with the animals in the distance.
"In that case, why don't you conduct a test, not a long-term test like this, but a test that stimulates the master's emotions. Now the three of us together can't beat you. In other words, if the master loses control, you can completely stop us.
"
"It's not that he is out of control. I hope he will complain about me like other children do. That will at least prove that he is not..."
"But that could be a cover-up, right? Just like that Damon gouging out his own eyes. So if you really want to know who my master is, just use the most extreme test method to test it, even though I feel a little sorry for the master.
, but it would be better for both of us to untie the knot between you two as soon as possible, wouldn’t it?”
"..."
Feng Xuyuan put away the pendant wordlessly and walked towards Lin Shuwen. After scattering the beasts, she announced the end of her disciples' rest. More than ten seconds later, the familiar voice of questions and answers sounded again.
That night, Feng Xuyuan came to the temple alone and handed a letter to a disciple of the abbot who was out giving lectures. The full moon was bright, and Feng Xuyuan, who had returned from the temple, sat beside the disciple's bed. She stretched out her hand.
, touched his cheek, and the trill of "I'm sorry" echoed in the silent room. Mo Yunfei, who heard the noise, hid behind the armrest of the sofa, watching the master and apprentice with gossipy eyes, but before he could wait,
The corner of his mouth grinned, and the heavy blow from his neck took away his consciousness.
Under the moonlight, the capable beauty's face is covered with red clouds.
