Chapter 15: On the Road
As the two of them walked, Zhang Qide chuckled and told Li Ji the story inside the door.
Perhaps the sun was already high in the sky, and the scorching temperature made Li Ji, who had just finished running the second level of mental skills, feel particularly comfortable, but he always felt that there was something different inside his body, as if it was the coldest cellar.
Dark places that sunlight can never reach.
"Are you Li Ji, the youngest disciple?"
Zhang Qide asked as he walked.
"Well, yes, uncle, I am Li Ji." Li Ji replied respectfully.
"Since you want me to teach you, then don't blame me for being verbose. Do you know the story of our generation? Or maybe you have never understood it."
"I don't know. I've been practicing hard on the back mountain since I started, and I haven't had much contact with anything else."
"That's it. First of all, you have to know that you may become the leader in the future, and this thing will make you extremely lonely. Maybe there will be no one in the next decades or even hundreds of years.
People who can tell the truth win people.”
"Ah? Why is this? Uncle Master." Li Ji was a little confused and asked Zhang Qide.
Zhang Qide seemed to be nostalgic and mocking as he said: "So, you have to listen carefully to the stories of our generation. I am the twenty-sixth generation disciple of the Sword Sect. Naturally, you are the twenty-seventh generation.
There are a total of sixteen disciples in our generation, but now, there are only four left. Some of them died in battle, and some have lost their traces."
"Maybe you want to ask what happened. Let me tell you how some people died. That was when your senior brother Song Zhe first started. At that time, the sirens in the east rioted, triggering a war between the two sides.
, the Sword Sect almost came out in full force, and almost all the people were mobilized. Except for me, who was still your junior uncle, Sun Zheng, the one you just saw, the two of us were punished to guard this place because of our crimes.
In the wine room, some people were left to guard the mountain gate, and everyone else went. I don’t know what happened in that battle, but when they came back, not one out of ten was left alive. At that time, they were most likely to be the leader.
The ones in charge are your master and senior brother Zhao. They grew up together, but at that time they were like enemies. After the war, it brought huge trauma. In that battle, all the twenty-sixth generation disciples of Nagato, except me,
Two, only two came back alive, one was missing, and the rest were all killed in the battle. After that, Senior Brother Zhao never mentioned the position of leader. Later, under the order of Master, the two competed, and Senior Brother Zhao also directly admitted defeat and gave up.
Already."
After a pause, Zhang Qide continued: "Back then, Master asked me and Sun Zheng to go up too.
But the two of us were stopped by our uncle, and we felt a little dissatisfied at first. Now that I think about it, thanks to my uncle's care, the master has become confused."
Li Ji listened to Zhang Qide's words and felt confused. What does this have to do with him? But Zhang Qide's next words made him doubtful.
"Li Ji, do you think I'm talking nonsense to you?"
Li Ji shook his head and said, "Li Ji doesn't dare."
Zhang Qide chuckled and said: "I don't dare. Apart from talking to Song Zhe, have you talked to other senior brothers?"
Li Ji thought for a moment, shook his head and replied: "Probably not, but I did have a few words with my senior sister."
Zhang Qide showed a wry smile on his face and said: "That's it. Your senior sister is not qualified, so she is taking it lightly."
"But uncle, shouldn't we let the master choose one? Shouldn't it be the senior brother who will succeed him? There's nothing to argue about."
"After all, I am still naive. Perhaps my uncle is right. The tradition of Sword Sect is barbaric and low-level. The key is that everyone involved in it enjoys it endlessly."
"Uncle Master, have you ever regretted it? Ever."
"I have regretted it countless times. Sometimes I even want to go to my uncle to argue. You have to know what it means to be the head of the Sword Sect? He is the head of the three major sects in the world. He has supreme power, and many people flock to him."
"But when you get old, or when everything is a foregone conclusion, you will find that in fact, this rule is really rubbish. The head brother is determined to change it, but in the end this is the result. It has not changed, or even
Nothing is worse than that.”
Li Ji shook his head vigorously, "No, uncle, my mother told me when I was very young that as a human being, you must be kind. She said that although she had not read any books, this great master of enlightenment
Tell her, that is of course right, so she asked my brother and I to keep it in mind that my senior brother, master, and uncles are so good to me, and there is no way I will fight."
Zhang Qide was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud, patted Li Ji on the shoulder and said, "What about the future, when you grow up, will you change?"
"No, Uncle Master, although I, Li Ji, am stupid and have no abilities, I will always remember these teachings."
"Hmph, alas, no wonder that boy Song Zhe likes you so much. Even if your talent is not as good as others, he is still willing to teach you, even at the expense of his own practice. In fact, it is worth this
What to do, Li Ji, do you know how your senior brother joined the Sword Sect?"
"Well... Senior Brother only said that he joined the sect a hundred years ago, and didn't say much else."
"His whole family died in that war. He was originally the son of the head of a small sect under the protection of the Sword Sect. He was just born when the Kraken riots occurred. When Senior Brother Zhao and the others arrived, only
He and his father were separated. At that time, his father only breathed his last breath and fell down after saying his name. He was brought back by Senior Brother Zhao."
"Ah? Then why didn't Uncle Zhao accept him as his disciple?" Li Ji asked doubtfully.
"Humph, because Master refused. He saw that Song Zhe was extremely talented, and Senior Brother Zhao gave up the fight after he came back. Master seemed a little unhappy, so Senior Brother Zhao didn't fight back then. But...
....Forget it, even if it’s here, let’s stop the gossip. You’ll have to endure a lot of hardships when you enter the practice room. You have to be prepared. If you can’t hold on, tell me, Uncle Master.”
Seeing Zhang Qide suddenly changing the topic, Li Ji originally wanted to hear more, but since Zhang Qide didn't say anything, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to give up.
When he saw the words 'practice room', Li Ji couldn't help but scratch his head. It looked more like a big iron bucket.
"Uncle Master?"
"Um?"
"Are you sure this is a training room? How do I feel..."
"Don't feel it, it's like a big iron bucket. That's what I asked my uncle back then."
...
Zhang Qide took out the key, quickly opened the lock, and gently pushed the door open.
As soon as the door opened, a heavy smell of corruption immediately entered Li Ji's nose, choking him and coughing. He looked at Zhang Qide, only to find that he had already been prepared and had already held his breath. There were waves of speechlessness in his heart.
.
Zhang Qide put away the key, and the flames on his right hand protruded and turned into blazing flames. With a flick of his hand, eight huge fire pillars in the house were ignited.
Li Ji's eyes widened. In his opinion, this was really handsome.
"This is just a little trick. You can do it as long as you work hard."
