In the back mountain, on a gentle slope halfway up the mountain.
The area was covered with weeds and thorns. The branches, which looked like white bone claws, were entangled by green vines and trembled from time to time in the breeze. The only empty space here was a small grave, which was quite low and the tombstone was only half a person tall.
The stone tablet was gray and made of a rough and uneven stone. Li Chu's name was engraved crookedly on it, which was scratched by thirteen-year-old Li Wei with a sharp stone.
Four years later, the carvings had become blurred and almost indistinct. A number of fast-growing vines and mosses had also climbed up both sides of the tombstone, inlaying two or three patches of green.
Kaxiu stood in front of the tombstone and looked at it silently for a while.
He placed a bouquet of white flowers in front of the tombstone.
Then he found some stones around and began to scrape the moss off the tombstone inch by inch, and all kinds of parasitic plants were also pulled off. With the tombstone as the center, all the plants within a three-meter radius were pulled up by Kaxiu and thrown far away.
In a short while, the area around the cemetery was empty.
Holding a long-handled sharp stone in his hand, Kaxiu squatted in front of the tombstone and carved Li Chu's name as well as the year, month and day with great effort.
This time the font is very dignified and neat.
Kaxiu once again stood in front of the tombstone, with his right hand resting just below his left shoulder, and imitated the priest and said, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, and your kingdom come. May your sacred heart bless the earth as it is in heaven..."
He is not religious.
But this is just a beautiful blessing for the dead.
After staying there for a while, Kaxiu turned around. He suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar, and was slightly stunned.
Slowly raised his fist and walked away: "Goodbye..."
********************
Five days later, Feng Xiang Sect officially entered the disciples' building complex.
On the left side of the edge, in a small white stone house.
Ka Zheng was maintaining a strange and awkward posture, half squatting in a horse stance, his body leaning slightly forward.
Stand on tiptoe and lower your head slightly toward the ground.
This is a weird position, and it requires a good center of gravity and strong body control to stand firmly, and it's very stamina-consuming.
The sound of breathing in and out repeats itself in a regular cycle.
Kaxiu's chest rose and fell rhythmically, and the stench of mud on his body gradually dissipated, turning into a faint fragrance. The black membrane covering his entire body surface slowly became transparent, revealing the angular and strong muscles underneath.
"Hu..." He exhaled heavily and opened his eyes. His original strange movements returned to standing.
"The effect is too poor... The effect of the ointment is probably only one-third or even one-quarter of the potion." Kaxiu clenched his palms, and the friction between the skin of his fingers was as slippery as a catfish.
He could tell the effect of the ointment and potion by the progress of his martial arts, but he could actually feel it during normal practice. The stinging sensation of the potion on the skin and muscles was far beyond that of the ointment, and the stimulation was at least many times stronger.
The more painful it is, the more effective it is; the stronger the medicine, the faster the progress.
In the real world, Kaxiu, who was used to using buckets of potions, couldn't tolerate the slow process of applying ointment.
Maybe it's time to execute the original plan.
He glanced at the sunlight outside the window and picked up a gray combat suit with wind and cloud patterns embroidered on the sleeves.
He cleaned the room casually and strode out the door.
Today at noon is the day for the monthly test. Of course, the monthly test here is not a large-scale competition for the entire sect. It is just a monthly martial arts progress check for the three disciples under Lixia. It is probably that each of the three people fights a match.
Although Li Wei was the senior brother in the past, and had been in the youth training camp earlier than Damo and Sharon, he was always at the bottom of the list in every monthly test, and couldn't even beat Sharon, who was a girl. He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and no matter how much strength he had, he couldn't exert it.
As a warrior, personality is extremely important, which basically determines your fighting style. A timid person can't even use his fists freely, while a domineering and arrogant person will make you feel that he will attack you at any time even when he is defending with his fists.
In fact, practicing martial arts can effectively change a person's physique and spirit, but this change has certain limits.
It varies from person to person and is not absolute.
Kaxiu could clearly feel that he had changed. He became braver, calmer, and more confident. He also did not feel much disgust when killing people, and even felt a little excited. Although he suspected that this anti-human mentality was a change brought about by the weird and strange demon shadow...
Ten minutes later, Kaxiu arrived at a pointed-roof building.
After turning right through the long corridor, he stopped in front of the door at the end of the road and knocked gently.
"Teacher, I'm here."
"Come in."
A familiar hoarse voice came from the other side of the door.
"Yes." Kaxiu pushed open the door.
In front of me was an empty quiet room, with gray-white slabs in a grid pattern on the floor. Sunlight poured in from two windows on the top of the wall, making the entire space transparent and bright.
In the center of the quiet room, Lisha was sitting cross-legged on the ground in a light yellow combat suit. About four or five meters away from her, Sharon Damo was sitting cross-legged on the ground in a gray combat suit.
Hearing the door open, the two looked over.
Sharon's eyes were a little complicated, mixed with a hint of strangeness. It seemed that she didn't know this Senior Brother Levi.
There was anger and fear in Damo's eyes, with 30% anger and 70% fear, and his expression was a little timid.
Seeing Kaxiu looking at him, Damo quickly lowered his head.
His butt was twisting restlessly, as if someone was warming himself by the fire under the floor. To be honest, he was afraid. He was afraid of this strange Levi. It felt like a monkey provoking a sleeping tiger. The tiger was asleep, so the monkey could show off his power. He stood on the tiger and pulled its hair.
Once the tiger wakes up, the monkey will be in trouble.
Now Damo is like the monkey whose legs were bitten off, hanging on the treetop with his hands, trembling as he watches the tiger climbing the tree. This is undoubtedly a torment.
"Close the door. Come over here and sit over there."
Lisha instructed.
Kaxiu nodded, turned around and closed the door. Then he walked over to Damo and Sharon and sat down.
As luck would have it, the person on the right was Damo, and the distance between them was only ten centimeters. Kaxiu could clearly see that the moment he sat down, Damo's body instantly became stiff.
And he secretly glanced at me out of the corner of his eye.
It seems that beating him twice to the point of urinary incontinence had an effective deterrent effect, and Kaxiu felt very relieved about it.
