In the small courtyard, green leaves covered the cucumbers, cicadas chirped, and birds grew green.
At this moment, Li Chen was diligently preparing for his lesson preparation, while the village chief's house was busy preparing.
Helplessly looking at the two brothers who were jubilant, Niu Geng hammered his aching head and said,"" A Wen, didn't we agree last night that the clan rules wouldn't be allowed to change? Why did you bring it up again? It's not like you don't know the situation. What do you want the village chief to do in the future?"“
After saying that, he sighed. It was not a big deal for Li Chen to cultivate the Giant Spirit Art. However, they had made an oath for the safety of the village in the past.
Martial artists valued promises the most. They would never easily make any oaths. If they did, they had to keep them, or else their hearts would be filled with regrets.
Just like in novels, martial artists had to guard their hearts and minds and keep a clear conscience. If he felt guilty, it would not be fun to cause the invasion of the inner demons during his advancement, even if the probability was very small.
Of course, when he was at the Martial Artist level, he would not encounter any inner demons. However, after he advanced to the Xiantian Master level, the above situation would occur unless Niu Tianyun did not want to advance any further and stayed at the Martial Artist level forever.
Of course, Niu Tianyun did not want to give up on the martial arts that he had been pursuing for nearly twenty years. He frowned and felt very helpless. Last night, Niu Wen had told him that Li Chen wanted to cultivate, but it would be great if he did not make such a vicious oath.
"Village Chief, Senior Scholar is all alone now, but you know what Senior Scholar means to our Niu Family Village. If we don't let go of our martial arts, how can we live? If we don't know how to repay kindness, what's the point of cultivating martial arts?
If we treat him sincerely, I think Brother Scholar will be grateful. He is a person who knows how to repay kindness.”Niu Wen spoke with fervor and assurance. Niu Tianyun didn't know how to respond.
He wasn't a talkative person. He smiled bitterly and turned to Niu Geng, who had his eyes closed, to ask him for a decision.
It was true that he was the village chief, but he was only the spiritual leader. The real brain of the Niu Family Village was Niu Geng. In terms of shrewdness and social skills, no one in the Niu Family Village could compare to him.
Niu Geng was a shrewd and careful person. He had arranged everything in a large village of thousands of people in an orderly manner. The secret of the village could be kept until now partly because of the remote area, but the greatest credit was none other than him.
When he was young, he had a serious illness and almost died. He had managed to survive with great difficulty, but he had exhausted his life force and injured his body. Now, he could no longer cultivate, and his body was getting thinner and thinner. This was also the reason why Li Chen felt strange when he saw his thin figure among the group of strong men.
"The clan rules are the iron law. This is also the reason why our Niu Family Village has survived to this day. A Wen, if you have something to say, just say it. We understand these reasons. You already said it last night. This isn't enough to move me.”Niu Geng opened his eyes and stared at Niu Wen with a burning gaze. His tone was a little stern.
Perhaps he had thought of something, Niu Tianyun sighed sadly and stopped Niu Geng, who was about to say something else."Then why don't I teach Li Chen the cultivation technique? Whether or not I can advance to the Xiantian realm in this life is still another matter. I can't delay the inheritance of the race because of my illusory future.”
"Village Chief, you're still young. As long as you have a follow-up cultivation method, you have a great chance of advancing to the Innate Realm. We can't use your future as a bargaining chip.”Hearing this, Niu Geng said anxiously. The Village Chief had protected the Niu Family Village for twenty years, and he would never allow anyone to stand in his way.
"After all, my future is uncertain, and the hope of the Niu Family Village's rise is right in front of us.”Niu Tianyun said in a low voice. His voice gradually became unusually firm.
"But..."
Niu Wen cried out in his heart. He was grateful that the village chief was so considerate of them. He choked and said,"Village Chief, you don't have to do this. We've thought of a way.”
"Village Chief, Uncle Geng, we've thought of a way." Niu Wu nodded with red eyes.”
"Yo, you guys really thought of a solution. What solution?”Niu Geng was very curious. These two brats had really thought of a way.
Niu Wen sniffed and filled the cups with tea."This idea was thought of by Awu. I'm just here to pass it on to you two.”
"Awu? What solution have you come up with?" Niu Tianyun was slightly curious and turned to look at the silly Niu Wu.
He was very pleased with Niu Wu's cultivation talent, and even amazed by it. However, Niu Wu, this dumb gourd, would use his brain? Thinking about it, he shook his head.
Obviously, he didn't think much of Niu Wu's idea. He took a sip of water and said,""Oh! Then what is Awu's method?"
"Ah Wu's idea is very simple, he wants Scholar Brother to join our Niu Family Village. Unfortunately, I didn't think of such a simple thing. Scholar Brother is alone now, I think he will agree.”
"Eh! Join the Niu Family Village?" The two of them looked at each other and were both surprised.
They could not be blamed for this. For the past hundred years, the Fire Country had been suppressing the practitioners, causing the status of scholars to be raised very high. The Niu Family Village had only started to cultivate in the past twenty years and their thinking had long been changed by the Fire Country's Imperial Family.
They had never thought of recruiting Li Chen. Subconsciously, they thought that Li Chen's status was noble. If Li Chen entered the capital and joined the royal family, he would definitely become a noble in one step. There were many people with cultivation like them. They were small martial artists who were only worthy of being his subordinates.
They respected Li Chen very much, but they also felt a faint sense of alienation from the bottom of their hearts. They thought that they were people from two different worlds.
Recruit? He didn't even dare to think about this. On the other hand, Niu Wu Chicheng's temperament was not affected.
When Niu Wentang said it openly, the two of them were stunned. They thought to themselves, Is this okay? If Li Chen joined the Niu Family Village, then the Niu Family Village would be honored!
Niu Geng was the first to be tempted. He straightened his lazy sitting posture and said,""This is a perfect solution. Not only can Li Chen cultivate the cultivation method, but the village chief will also not go back on his word.”
"Yes, how could he agree?" Niu Tianyun was also tempted.
Seeing the two of them, Niu Wen knew that there was hope. He smiled and said in a clear voice,"Village Chief, I've said before that Senior Scholar is not one of those scholars from our Fire Country. He does not have that kind of high and mighty bad temper in his bones. Brother Scholar has a gentle temper and a cheerful personality. He doesn't look down on us at all. We get along very well these days.”
"Yes, I can testify to this. Brother Scholar is a very good person.”Niu Wu chimed in.
Niu Tianyun was still worried and said,"But this doesn't mean that Li Chen will agree to join our Niu Family Village. After all, he has a noble status. In the past, he didn't know what he would get with his knowledge, but now he should know.”
Niu Wen was waiting for you to say that. He laughed in his heart."Then we have to fight for it. I understand Brother Scholar's personality. He is a very loyal person. As long as we treat him sincerely, he will definitely be grateful.”
Niu Tianyun opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Niu Wen hurriedly said," I believe that Scholar Brother will definitely agree. Besides, our Niu Family Village's cultivation technique isn't some peerless treasure. What's so precious about it?"”
"Brat, how can you say that? The cultivation techniques of our Niu Family Village are not easy to obtain.”Niu Tianyun scolded.
"Hehe! Village chief, I was just afraid that you would hesitate.”
Niu Tianyun shook his head with a bitter smile. He looked at Niu Geng, who was deep in thought, and said,"Ah Geng, what do you think?"
"I think what A Wen said is feasible. I don't think this Li Chen is an ordinary person.”Niu Geng thought for a while and agreed.
Hearing Niu Geng's affirmative answer, Niu Wen and his wife were so happy that they almost jumped up. In the Niu Family Village, as long as Niu Geng nodded, the village chief would usually agree.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly.
Beneath the gourd vines was a good place to avoid the heat. Li Chen hid below and fiddled with a wooden board. This was just sent by the village carpenter Niu Que. It was polished smooth and had a slight yellow color. It was made of ironwood, a specialty of the True Martial Continent.
Li Chen planned to use it as a blackboard. He didn't have a blackboard or chalk, so he could only make do with it. He used charcoal to write, so it shouldn't be a problem.
He casually wrote a few words and found that the charcoal was quite effective on the paper. The handwriting was clear. Li Chen nodded in satisfaction. He no longer had to worry about how a clever housewife could not cook without rice.
It was better to find someone to help carry it to the classroom. Looking at the big blackboard, Li Chen felt a sense of powerlessness. It was not that he was lazy, but that he really could not carry it.
Ironwood. Just from the name, it was related to iron. The two-meter-by-two-meter thin blackboard weighed nearly a hundred pounds. If he moved it to the classroom alone, he would be exhausted. Then, there would be no need to teach.
"Brother Scholar, are you there?"
Just as he got up and walked out, Niu Wu's loud voice sounded in his ear. Someone gave him a pillow when he was not sleepy. Li Chen quickly replied,"Yes, come in yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the small courtyard was pushed open, and Niu Wu's huge body came into view. Niu Wen followed behind him. When he saw Li Chen, he ran over as if he was familiar with him.
"You came at the right time. I was going to get someone to help me carry this plank to the classroom.”Li Chen asked." Why are you two looking for me?“
" It's like this. Aren't you going to teach? You don't even have a book with you. Coincidentally, there are some books in the village. The village chief asked me to bring them over for you to take a look and see if they're useful to you. Anyway, we didn't show any words, so I took them all over. "Niu Wen chuckled as he untied a blue bag on his back and handed it over.
"Books? Could it be left behind by the person who taught Niu Tianyun martial arts techniques? "Although Li Chen was puzzled, he still took the bag that Niu Wen handed over and opened it under the gazes of the two.
There were not many books in the bag, about a dozen or so. They were all simple books made of cloth and animal skin, and they were heavy to carry.
He casually flipped through the titles of the books. Most of the books were in traditional Chinese characters. The boss of Li Chen's company was from Taiwan. In order to maintain a good relationship between his superiors and subordinates, he had learned traditional Chinese characters for a year, so traditional Chinese characters were not a problem for him.
Eh? Isn't the Giant Spirit Technique a cultivation technique of the Niu Family Village?
