It is six years since the great earthquake happened in 4496 in Huihuang continent. The sadness caused by the earthquake seems to fade away from people's mind as time goes by.
in the morning, in Xinmei village, the southernmost part of the pass Empire, on the hill beside the village, a little boy only about a meter away. Holding a small wooden sword about half a meter long in his hand, he was there continuously.
at this time, the little boy was sweating, but the big eyes under the eyebrows of the swords were so vivid; the little red face was so resolute. Unconsciously, the little boy has been practicing on the hill for more than two hours.
the villagers are used to it. It seems that it has become a compulsory course for the little boy to practice sword on the hill every day. If the little boy doesn't practice sword here, the villagers will be surprised.
"Xiaohao! It's time to rest. Don't be tired. Go home quickly. Uncle Cheng is waiting for you to eat! " A middle-aged woman with a hoe on her shoulder smiled as if she was going to work in the field.
"I see! Mei Yi, I'll go back right away. "Although the voice is still a little milky, it's very clear, beautiful and slightly magnetic.
this little boy is Yang Hao, the orphan song Cheng picked up at the seaside.
Yang Hao went back with his little wooden sword. Most of the houses in Xinmei village are wooden houses, and only a few are tile houses.
Yang Hao came into a small tile house with his wooden sword.
"Grandpa, I'm back!" Yang Hao can't wait to shout as soon as he enters the door.
"ah, yo! My sweetheart is back! Are you tired? Are you hungry? " A kind voice came from the room.
"I have made breakfast and I can eat it right away. First, wipe yourself and change into clean clothes. " In the kitchen, a man with half white hair is busy bringing the food to the table; if you look carefully, you can see that the man's right hand seems not very sharp.
song Cheng, a retired mercenary, has had a good time in recent years. Almost every day, we laugh. Every time I look at my sweetheart, I will unconsciously show the white teeth. Although people in their early sixties have also lost most of their hair, their faces are more and more young.
"Grandpa, I have changed my clothes. Can I have a meal?" Yang Hao changed into a blue long shirt and put on the beautiful little face. He looked like a little Confucian.
"OK, come and eat! You are growing up now. You need to eat more, you know? Add more nutrition, so that you can grow healthily, "said Song Cheng, unconsciously revealing the white silver teeth.
"Xiaohao, are you familiar with the moves I taught you?" Song Cheng suddenly said, "page," I've practiced all those moves skillfully. I've been able to use them several times. " Yang Hao replied casually.
"well, I know my Xiaohao is the best. After dinner, you can show me how you are improving these days. Now hurry to eat, eat and don't talk After Song Cheng finished, he watched Yang Hao eat, and his eyes fell on Yang Hao's tender little hand.
in recent years, song Cheng always had a question in his mind, that is, the ring on Yang Hao's ring finger. Although the ring is not very beautiful and gorgeous. But the six stones of different colors combined with the ring seem so harmonious. They often exude the ancient flavor. It's difficult to find its extraordinary place without careful observation.
this is not what song Cheng doubts. What song Cheng doubts is that the ring can't be taken from Yang Hao's hand. It seems to be integrated with Yang Hao.
when song Chenggang found Yang Hao, he was afraid that Yang Hao's fingers would grow and even die because of the restriction of the ring. During that time, song Cheng was like an ant on a hot cochlea. He could only do it in a hurry, but he couldn't help it. But as time went on, more strange things happened, and the ring grew up with Yang Hao.
is always closely connected with Yang Hao's ring finger, as if it were natural.
"what kind of ring is it? Why is it so strange? It seems that the ring material has never been seen before. What is it made of? Is it related to Yang Hao's life experience? Song Cheng's eyebrows are tight. He sits there thinking about it! I'm full. "Yang Hao has had a good meal. Song Cheng hears Yang Hao's voice before returning to his mind.
"what's grandpa thinking? I've called you several times. " Yang Hao's confused way.
"nothing. I'm just thinking about something. Hao'er, you've eaten well. Let's go to the yard and let me see if you are lazy these days."
song Cheng said when he saw Yang Hao cleaning up his chopsticks. "Hao'er, you don't have to clean up. Let's go to the yard. I'll clean up these things later."
"let me do it. I'm faster. It'll take a long time for you to clean up, Grandpa." Yang Hao said casually.
when song Cheng heard this, he felt a pain in his heart. His eyebrows were tight and he couldn't help looking at his right hand.
listen to Grandpa, go to the yard! " Song Cheng's voice seemed to carry a trace of anger.
Yang Hao realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he obediently followed song Cheng's yard.
"Xiaohao, let Grandpa have a good look at your achievements these days!" Song Cheng said, standing alone in the left corner of the yard, holding his hands, quietly looking at his sweetheart.
"OK." Yang Hao took his little wooden sword and began to compete in the yard.
the yard is not big, about tens of square meters. There is a pool on the right side of the wall, and there is a rockery in the pool.
"ah, ah, ha ~~~" Yang Hao is now concentrating on presenting his achievements in these days. Although the moves are not gorgeous, the combination of several simple moves is coherent and perfect, as if they were made by nature. When each sword is wielded, it doesn't seem to be so powerful, but it reveals mystery everywhere. Yang Hao repeats that in one go A few moves are not gorgeous swordsmanship.
song Cheng squinted and looked at Yang Hao's movements carefully, with a smile on his face. "What a wonderful material! At the age of three, I began to learn martial arts. Now I have such achievements and can use these skills so well. Most of the subtleties in it have been understood. Obviously, there are two levels of samurai. Think about how many years of hard work I had to achieve the level of level 2 Warrior. Xiao Hao is only 6 years old now. It's different if you have good understanding. "
"Grandpa, how are my skills? Yang Hao has stopped practicing and is looking forward to song Cheng, hoping to get song Cheng's affirmation and praise.
"Xiaohao, you have practiced these moves skillfully, and you know a lot about the subtlety! But although you have mastered these moves skillfully, there are still some shortcomings. You should experience them well and be good at finding out your own shortcomings, so that you can improve your cultivation faster.
you should remember this sentence well. Talent is important, but the effort after tomorrow is more important. A person who can become a strong person, talent is not necessarily the best but the most hardworking person. No matter how good his talent is, if he doesn't work hard, he will be a waste in the end. "
although song Cheng was very satisfied with Yang Hao's performance, he didn't want to overindulge him, which led to Yang Hao's arrogance and harmed his future.
"now I'll teach you some new moves. You should watch them carefully, but don't be lazy! Give me the sword! " Song Cheng finished and went to Yang Hao.
Yang Hao didn't lose heart because he didn't get the expected praise, which aroused Yang Hao's indomitable new attitude towards martial arts. After he handed the wooden sword to song Cheng, he backed away and looked at Song Cheng expectantly. Song Cheng took the wooden sword and danced it in the yard.
although song Cheng's speed is slow, his moves are more subtle than Yang haogang's, which seems to reveal the mystery between the moves. Yang Hao is looking at Song Cheng, excited, and unconsciously following song Cheng's moves.
"Xiao Hao, have you seen it clearly?"
"well, I can see clearly. Grandpa, these moves seem to be more powerful than those before!" Yang Hao said excitedly.
"that's for sure. What I taught you before are just some basics. From today on, I'll teach you some useful moves. You need to learn them well. Can you be lazy Song Cheng said seriously.
"I know. I will listen to Grandpa. Grandpa, are you saying that those things taught before are useless?" Yang Hao asked.
"Xiaohao, you're wrong to say that. Although those before were only basic skills, practicing martial arts was like building a tower. Only with a good foundation can a tower be built high, so the basic skills are very important. As long as the skills are solid, then you need to learn advanced martial arts in the future to be able to do more than half the work." Song Cheng said profoundly.
"Oh! It turns out that's the case. Do I want to continue to practice such basic skills in the future? " Yang Hao asked in doubt.
"of course, in the future, you should not only learn advanced swordsmanship, but also try to consolidate the basic skills. From today on, you should not only practice the basic skills and the moves that I newly taught you, but also add some other practices to you every day to increase your eyesight and agility. These will be very helpful for your future practice."
"have you seen all the moves I demonstrated just now? Is there anything you can't understand or don't understand?" Song Cheng asked kindly.
"well, I just saw grandpa's moves clearly, but I don't know much about some of them. It's like that move... Why... " Yang Hao then entered the learning state do not understand the ask themselves do not understand the place.
song Cheng also explained it to Yang Hao patiently. Some even said it two or three times, for fear that Yang Hao could not hear it clearly. 'some even demonstrated it again in person. Song Cheng went back to the house after he had taught everything he should, leaving Yang Hao to practice alone in the yard..
