Chapter 179 Substitute Lu 3
Chapter 179 Substitute Lu 3
Ah Si was too bored, and the voice in his head couldn't speak all the time, so he started to imitate the patterns on the wall. Different squares, one after another, connected into a piece. Ah Si didn't know what it meant, but he was willing to imitate it.
Draw on the floor over and over again with water droplets.
Xiao Yu, who was watching everything inside from outside the door, was surprised. It was just a monster that was born a few days ago. It was rare for it to have intelligence, but it could even actively imitate the words on the wall. Was it really just a monster?
Xiao Yu picked up a book, pushed open the door and came to the snake demon.
When A Si saw the immortal, he didn't care about the water stains on the ground and rushed towards him, hugging his waist tightly.
This action made Xiao Yu frown slightly: "Ah Si, although you are a monster, you still have to learn the basic etiquette of the human world. You can't just jump on others casually, it's extremely impolite."
A-mi was pushed away and was a little unhappy: "But A-mi likes the immortal, why can't I hug him?"
The book gently tapped Ah Si's head: "Don't let your emotions control your actions. You must restrain yourself and return to propriety, and use propriety to suppress the most primitive animal nature in your body. Only in this way can you completely shed your wildness and separate yourself from the monsters. From today on, I will teach you to read and recognize words."
In fact, A Si didn't quite know what the immortal meant, but he was very happy. He thought that the immortal would accompany him, and then he would not be bored in the future.
After bringing in the desk, bench and four treasures of the study, Xiao Yu was ready to repeat the lesson over and over again. After all, the clever dog in Wang Ziyue's yard could only do simple arithmetic after so many years of teaching. Monsters do not have the blood of gods, and their brains are already chaotic. It is not easy for them to understand human language when they are born. It will take hard work for them to learn to be polite.
However, what Xiao Yu didn't expect was that Ah Si had a very good memory. He could learn any words once he was taught, and he could also draw inferences from one thing and connect it with reality. This made Xiao Yu a little interested in teaching.
This little snake demon is indeed a good student. In less than an afternoon, he had memorized the Thousand Characters that Xiao Yu brought. What kind of memory is this? Even when Xiao Yu was a child, he couldn't study at this speed.
This made him a little shaken. Is this guy really just an ordinary snake demon? Why is he different from what is recorded in the book? He is too smart. He has a photographic memory. It took him half a year to learn this book when he first started. How could this guy only take half a day?
Xiao Yu didn't believe it, thinking it must be a momentary memory, and he must have forgotten it afterwards. However, after a night, Xiao Yu came to check again, and found that this guy not only hadn't forgotten, but could even stumble and read the article on the wall.
This is too much of a bully, isn't it? Where is the advantage of the bloodline of the Gods? How can an ordinary snake egg like Ah Mi be so powerful?
Wait, this is an ordinary snake egg. Xiao Yu was a little skeptical, but he did buy it at the price of a snake egg, and because it was not very alive, he bought it at a 50% discount.
Now, this half-price snake egg has shown a talent for studying. Could he be suitable to take the next imperial examination?
Xiao Yu did not give up, and moved a pile of books from the human world to Ah Si's room, asking him to read the famous classics, the Four Books and the Five Classics. Xiao Yu thought, I don't believe you can still read such boring books with great interest.
But he guessed wrong. For a child who had no entertainment, getting a toy was such a happy and exciting thing! As soon as Xiao Yu left, Ah Si started reading the book. Fortunately, some of the obscure characters on it were accompanied by pinyin and annotations, and translations were kindly provided below, so that Ah Si would not have too much difficulty reading.
Dozens of books were no match for A Si's reading day and night. In less than half a month, he had memorized all the books.
Xiao Yu flipped through the test questions he randomly checked, and his heart skipped a beat in shock: This guy... is too evil. Could I still train a great writer?
Ah Si drew circles on the ground with his toes, watching the immortal marking the test questions, feeling quite bored: "Immortal, are there any other books? I have memorized all these."
Xiao Yu's face slowly emerged from the test paper, and he looked at Ah Si as if he was looking at a monster. It was too outrageous. He had been tortured by these books for more than ten years before he escaped. But Ah Si had memorized them all in just ten days. Memorized them! Even Xiao Yu, who had lived for more than a hundred years, couldn't memorize them at this time! Moreover, there were no more books from the mortal world in his study.
Ahem, Xiao Yu decided to teach Ah Si something else. Just because you are good at studying doesn't mean you are good at magic. Today I will use magic to dampen your spirit and let you know that there are still difficulties in this world.
"Then I will begin to teach you the magic arts!" As Xiao Yu said this, he chanted a string of spells, and a cluster of flames appeared between his fingers. He looked at Ah Si in shock.
"The Immortal is so powerful."
With a flick of his finger, the flame disappeared. "This is called Fire Controlling Technique. Although it is a simple technique, it is extremely difficult for novices to master it. Wang Ziyue, the best among the new generation of disciples, also spent three days to practice this technique. Ordinary disciples need seven days to master the trick. As for you, I don't expect you to master it in seven days. You only need to..."
Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, a huge flame emerged from the palm of A Si next to him, turning Xiao Yu's face red, and his entire pupils were filled with this cluster of hot flames.
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and was so scared that he forgot to close his mouth.
Ah Si didn't notice Xiao Yu's surprise, and excitedly brought the flame, which was strong enough to roast meat, closer to the immortal: "Look, I learned it!"
"I've learned it..." Haha, it learned it so quickly! A demon beast can actually have such talent, how can those young disciples who are about to enter the sect survive?
Speaking of the group of disciples, Xiao Yu looked at Ah Si and finally made the decision he had been thinking about for a long time: "Ah Si, I will send you to the sect to be a cultivator!"
Ah Mi tilted his head slightly: "Does the Immortal want me to leave you?"
Xiao Yu explained to him: "No, I just want you to practice with other cultivators. Then I will become your master!"
Xiao Yu actually thought about this for a long time. When he saw Ah Si's outstanding talent, he kept thinking whether he was wrong. At first, he just planned to find an orc to replace Wang Ziyue.
But now something went wrong. This beastman that he had hatched with his own hands actually had human consciousness and thoughts. Even his appearance was no different from that of a human. Xiao Yu couldn't tell whether this was the beast he had found or a human.
To be honest, even though Xiao Yu hatched the snake with his own hands, he had never seen A Si's true form. He only knew that he had the dual attributes of water and fire, but he didn't know what color snake he was.
Seeing A Si becoming more and more like a human, Xiao Yu's firm belief was shaken. Was it too cruel to ask A Si to replace Wang Ziyue?
Today, seeing his outstanding talent for cultivation, this thought became even stronger. Ah Si clearly has the ability to think independently now, so he can no longer be treated as an ordinary beast, but as a human being. In this way, Ah Si will be treated the same as other cultivators, and how far he can go in the future depends on his own luck.
"Ami, go to the new student registration office and enter the mountain gate with the ordinary young monks."
Ah Mi listened carefully. After reading so many books, he could understand the meaning of these words. The immortal wanted him to be a human being.
Ah Si followed the rules taught in the book and bowed respectfully: "Ah Si obeys your command."
Tianyi Sword Sect is one of the best sects in the small world, with countless powerful people and several races. The cultivation resources are top-notch.
And A Si, relying on his age of only a few months and his strong physique, successfully made it to the top of the registered disciples and became the direct disciple of Elder Xiao Yu, the youngest elder of Tianyi Sword Sect.
Looking at the green jade card in his hand, Ah Si had a bright smile on his face. On the top of the jade card, there were two big characters "Xiao Yu", which was the name of the immortal. And today, he was no longer a monster raised in the immortal's house. He was the immortal's disciple, a legitimate disciple of Xiao Yu.
This realization made Ah Si happy. Although he was born not long ago, he also knew the principle of the different paths of humans and demons mentioned in the book. But now it was different, he and his master were on the same path, they were on the same path.
At this apprenticeship ceremony, A Si also met the eldest brother Wang Ziyue who frequently appeared in the master's words.
He was tall and broad-shouldered, with a handsome appearance, a long sword on his back, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked very safe. Ah Si tilted his head and looked at this senior brother quietly, thinking that he seemed to be a really good person. He always had a smile on his face, and seemed to be very nice to everyone.
At this time, the eldest senior brother was talking to a senior sister in the sect. There seemed to be flowers in the eldest senior brother's eyes, and there was a sense of joy lingering around him. How wonderful! Could this be what the book said about mutual love?
I turned my head to look at the master, only to find that he was also looking in the direction of the eldest brother. Wasn't the emotion in his eyes the same as that in the eldest brother's eyes? Strange, does the master like the senior sister too?
Returning to the old room, A Si was still thinking about the look in his master's eyes just now. He was a little confused.
Xiao Hong happened to appear in Ah Si's mind at this time. Ah Si was no longer surprised by Xiao Hong's appearance: "Do you know the identity of the person my master loves?"
Xiaohong was just wondering why Ah Si didn't call her dad, when she heard his question. It was strange that Ah Si could speak complete sentences after only being away for a few days, and even took Xiao Yu as his master. The progress in the past few days was quite big: "How do you know Xiao Yu likes Wang Ziyue?"
Ah Mi stopped making the bed, dropped the quilt in his hands, and asked in disbelief, "My master likes Wang Ziyue?" Aren't they both men? How could the master like him? "What about my senior sister?"
Xiao Hong lazily fanned the flames: "Of course he and your master are a love rival."
Asi felt that his knowledge had expanded a lot. He had only read books about love between men and women, but had not read any about love between men.
However, after knowing that the master liked Wang Ziyue, Ah Si's evaluation of this senior brother was lowered. Humph, nothing special.
Since becoming a disciple of the Tianyi Sword Sect, A Si has officially entered the sect's school to learn basic theoretical knowledge. He can basically remember these books after reading them once. For him, the classroom has no other attraction except the ability to interact with classmates.
Moreover, he found that whenever he went to the academy, the master would always look for the eldest brother under various pretexts, which made Ah Si very unhappy. Sitting in his seat, his mind would involuntarily show the scene of the master and Wang Ziyue hugging each other. He felt sour in his heart, even more sour than the vinegar he had eaten at noon.
Ah Si decided that he had to take action. Since the senior brother and the senior sister were in love, they should be together. As for the others, they should let go of their thoughts and focus on their own apprentices.
"Master, Master, I heard that the plums in the back mountain are ripe. Come pick them with me." Ah Si ran to the master's room excitedly after school. Xiao Yu was refining pills, which seemed to be for Wang Ziyue's healing.
After hearing what his apprentice said, Xiao Yu refused without a second thought: "I'm still busy, you can find a few classmates to go with you."
Ah Si was reluctant: "But we are all freshmen, we have never been to the back mountain, and we don't know where the plum tree is. Master, please go with us, we can pick plums and make wine. The eldest brother said he wanted to drink some wine a while ago!"
Hearing that Wang Ziyue wanted to drink, Xiao Yu stopped what he was doing, cast a few spells on the alchemy furnace, and followed A Si out.
Several newly-initiated disciples were each holding a basket, obviously waiting for Xiao Yu, their guide.
Walking up the mountain together, Xiao Yu asked Ah Si: "How did you know there was a plum tree on the back mountain?"
A chubby little disciple behind him said, "I heard it when the senior brother was talking to others. He also said that the wine brewed from this plum tree is particularly delicious."
Hearing that Wang Ziyue liked it, Xiao Yu's steps became much lighter: "The tree is next to a mountain spring, it is nourished by spiritual energy, and the fruit it bears is naturally good. Since you like it, pick more."
The plum tree was located in a remote and quiet place. Several young disciples who did not know magic yet walked and stopped, and finally arrived in front of the tree.
What the eldest brother said was indeed true. The tree had indeed grown green fruits. They might be a little astringent to eat, but they were great for making wine. Several young disciples excitedly rushed towards the tree.
Xiao Yu waved his sleeves, and many plums on the top of the tree went into his pocket. Having nothing to do, he thought of washing his hands in the spiritual spring next to him.
As he was walking towards that place, he suddenly heard the lewd sounds beside the clear spring. Who was it, committing adultery in broad daylight and destroying the beauty of the pool? Xiao Yu considered the children in the distance and planned to drive the two away, but when he got closer, he found that the man standing in the pool was none other than his nephew Wang Ziyue, and the person entangled with Wang Ziyue was none other than the woman from that day.
