Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1254 Being Really Foolish and Pretending to Be Foolish

Cook Ding looked at Tianming who obviously didn't want to talk to him, sighed, shook his head and left.

Shi Lan followed step by step, remembering to hide herself behind Cook Ding at all times.

Tianming sat cross-legged on the grass and continued to look at the valley desperately.

He was really hit hard this time.

In the past, he had not come into contact with many peers, or to be precise, there were only two Shaoha Chitaki.

Although when facing the two of them, Tianming could intuitively feel the gap between himself and them.

But firstly, Shaoyu Qiantaki was not an ordinary young man, and it was normal for him to be better than himself. Secondly, Tianming himself occasionally performed brilliantly, and even became a giant of the Mo family.

This convinced him that he was talented and a worthy successor to the Sword Master.

In the days of Little Saint Xianzhuang, this self-confidence was constantly under attack.

Etiquette, music, archery, imperial duties, calligraphy, and mathematics.

These are the Six Arts of Confucianism, which are the six subjects that Confucian disciples mainly learn.

Among these six subjects, Tianming was almost not decent in any of them.

The only thing he was reasonably good at was driving, which he learned while on the road some time ago. Others, such as etiquette, vocal music, archery, calligraphy, and arithmetic, were all a mess and unsightly.

Even the relatively best driving is only just passable, because the Confucian "royal" is not just driving a car and running.

All Confucian disciples are better than him in all subjects!

If Tianming could comfort himself with the reason that these skills were not necessary to become a hero, then the swordsmanship class was the last straw that broke his psychological defense.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang teaches martial arts.

Generally speaking, disciples learn swordsmanship first, not to show off their bravery, but to practice swordsmanship to train their bodies, and to practice swordsmanship to cultivate their minds.

If you are interested in the literary school, just try it briefly and stop it to the point where you can strengthen your body.

If you are interested in martial arts, you can continue your studies and learn more advanced martial arts.

Basically, all the disciples of Little Saint Xian Village will choose the martial arts school and continue to practice martial arts. After all, they are all teenagers. When they are full of energy and vitality, few people can refuse such a cool and interesting thing as practicing martial arts.

In fact, there have only been very few disciples of the literary sect in Xiaoshengxian Village in the past dynasties.

In Fu Nian's generation, the two most famous brothers were Han Fei and Li Si - this was because they advocated the Legalist theory of using force to break the law.

The most famous person of Xunzi's generation was himself - such a famous disciple of the literary school, but he was still pretending...

In the swordsmanship class, Tianming still maintained his unbeatable reputation and suffered a complete defeat...

Although the Confucian swordsmanship class was a little different from what Tianming had imagined, after all, the competition was about martial arts, and his skills were inferior to others.

The constant failure, coupled with the punishment of never being absent, after half a month of torture, the child was numb.

In this day and age, anyone would be in trouble, and Tianming's ability to resist was already very strong.

To this day, he only occasionally hides and emotes alone, and it doesn't take long for him to adjust himself and regain his vitality.

This performance also made Fu Nian look at him with admiration, but at the same time, it also made him more confused.

Although Ziming has various unspeakable flaws, he also has an extremely tough mind and excellent self-regulation ability. At the same time, his physical ability to withstand blows is not generally strong - this is from his experience in the swordsmanship class. It can be seen from the state after being beaten.

Confucius said in "Xiang Zhuan": Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman constantly strives to improve himself.

In Fu Nian's opinion, with Ziming's character, he shouldn't be such a...waste!

Just... just weird.

………………

On the way out of the villa, Chef Ding was still sighing.

Although he also has a lot of dissatisfaction with the new giant Tianming, or it is difficult to agree with him, after all, this is his own giant. He was tortured every day in Xiaoshengxian Village, and he felt very uncomfortable.

But there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, Cook Ding himself could not understand why Tianming could go through a day without getting into trouble.

Speaking of which, this may be considered a skill...

Chef Ding could only comfort himself in this way, but the effect was average. In the blink of an eye, his head hurt even more.

Things seem to be going wrong these days.

Gu Xun often went to an inn to eat, which made him dream at night and even dreamed that he was arrested and taken to the general's mansion.

Thief Zhi has never been able to find out any valuable information, and can only passively wait for the empire to reveal some clues.

He was tortured in Xiaoshengxian Village every day, with no hope of escape and no sign of improvement.

Even my own guys...

Thinking of this, Chef Ding quietly glanced at Shi Lan behind him from the corner of his eye.

Shi Lan also became strange during this time.

Although this child liked to disappear suddenly in the past, when there was work in the inn, he would come very actively, but he would disappear quietly after finishing his work.

But now, she often doesn't show up for a whole day or half a day, and she can't be found for a long time.

And... Cook Ding didn't know if it was his own imagination, but he always felt that this guy who was already gloomy before was now even more... cold.

It's not the kind of coldness that keeps strangers away, but the purest kind of coldness, which makes people feel inexplicably cold.

It’s confusing.

At this time, a voice from the front interrupted Cook Ding's thoughts.

"Shopkeeper Ding!"

Cook Ding came to his senses and looked forward, and he saw that they were Yan Lu, the second master, and Zhang Liang, the third master, among the three masters of Qilu.

The pair of junior brothers were walking side by side on the road.

Chef Ding smiled and went to greet them, "It's Mr. Yan Lu and Mr. Zhang Liang."

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and asked, "I heard that Ziming got into trouble again this morning?"

Chef Ding shook his head when he heard this and waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't mention it, don't mention it!"

"Haha..." Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and even Yan Lu next to him also smiled.

"I have troubled Shopkeeper Ding a lot these days. I would like to thank you in advance on Ziming's behalf."

"Oh...it's nothing." Cook Ding sighed dejectedly, unwilling to say anything more, "No more, I'm leaving first, you two are busy!"

Zhang Liang and Yan Lu didn't say much, they turned around and watched Cook Ding go.

When the cook Ding walked away, the two brothers continued to move forward, and Yan Lu said aloud:

"In the past, shopkeeper Ding hated food being wasted. These days... he is more tolerant of Tian Ming and seems to take good care of him."

"Huh?" Zhang Liang looked like he suddenly realized this, as if he had just discovered this, "From what Second Senior Brother said, it seems like this is really the case!"

"You...seem to really know nothing?" Yan Lu looked sideways at his junior brother, and he deliberately emphasized the word 'seems'.

"Junior brother, it is true that I found out today after you reminded me, senior brother." Zhang Liang responded with a smile.

Yan Lu saw that he was so stubborn, but he didn't mean to push too hard, so he smiled helplessly and passed away.
