I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

It was a courtyard provided by Hu Po's family, and there were several mercenaries in it. Through chatting, Lu Juan roughly learned that the composition of these mercenaries is very complicated. There are former soldiers, some martial artists who have practiced martial arts, and even The priests who were expelled from the shrine, etc. These people are pirates if they change their position. They are just mercenaries who use money to do things. They usually have a better status in the government. Because they dare to take risks, they are more familiar with many complicated waters than those who follow them.

At night, Lu Jian, who finally had a normal meal in Hedao, was very moved and ordered three big bowls.

When his companions were all drunk and singing, Lu Yi decided to go out to get some air.

The other courtyard is very large, with luxuriant vegetation. Under the cold and bright moonlight, you can see the cherry blossoms falling with the wind. The falling cherry blossoms at night present a light purple color, which is even more enchanting.

Lu Jian looked at the flowers for a while, and after doing some stretching exercises, he heard some strange sounds.

whoosh-

thump——

He followed the sound and saw a spacious yard.

It's not so much a courtyard, it's better to say it's a dojo, an archery field or something like that.

There are several targets hanging on one side, and a young girl is standing on the wooden floor at a distance.

Amber stood there wearing a suit of clothes that bound her chest, stepping on white socks, and holding a longbow.

She looked intently at the void ahead, her eyes were not focused on the target, as if she was staring at something more distant.

After a gap that was so long that one would think it was a still picture, Kohaku slowly raised the arrow in her hand, and pulled up the bowstring with an elegant posture like a dance.

If you shoot like this, you will definitely hit.

After seeing this gesture, Lu Jian felt so emotional.

It was another long wait, and just when Lu Jian felt that he should leave, Amber let go of the tight bowstring.

Without any suspense, boring and boring, the arrow buzzed and hit the very center of the target, precisely splitting the arrow that hit it in two from the middle.

Amber maintained the arrow-shooting posture for a while, and finally relaxed after a long time.

"Awaited."

She looked at Lu Jian on one side.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===328.Seeing the World===

The spring breeze is warm, the night cherry blossoms are colorful, the moonlight is pleasant, and the courtyard is quiet and mysterious.

It should have been a very suitable environment for couples to talk to each other and spend time together.

But in this dojo of bow and arrow, Lu Jian always felt that something was wrong.

"You shoot well."

Lu Juan boasted, but then he felt that this boast was a bit nonsense. He had seen the power of the priestess, sitting at Hedao Taisha Shrine and being able to shoot an arrow thousands of miles away. In contrast, the current archery is like pediatrics. Same.

"Thank you."

Amber glanced at Lu Trim, she stood still, holding the bow in her hand, but she didn't shoot any more arrows, and she didn't intend to put it back.

"The core of archery lies in the heart. If the heart is not calm, it is impossible to shoot."

She spoke with a calm tone, as if she was reciting some waka.

"Before that arrow just now, my heart has been affected, so now I don't know how to shoot an arrow."

"?"

Lu Jian was a little confused, is this saying that his appearance disrupted his practice?

"Should I go?"

"No, it's not because of you, it's just that I'm not mature enough. A real witch should be able to concentrate on everything and get rid of all distracting thoughts, that is, to 'get rid of foreign objects'. Maybe 'see the world'."

Amber didn't know it was because she saw outsiders alone, she talked more than in the afternoon.

"Go to foreign objects? See the world?"

Lu Jian definitely doesn't understand these things, and he thinks that serious mercenaries probably don't understand either. Even if everyone understands, it doesn't matter if he asks for more information as a fool.

"The witch's practice is divided into three stages. Examining oneself, removing external objects, and seeing the world. Examining oneself means being able to feel all of one's own states through practice, controlling oneself, and removing external objects means being able to get rid of distracting thoughts, even if there is interference from outsiders. You can also maintain peace of mind, even in a busy city, you can still have a calm mind, so you can see the world."

When Amber said this, I don't know if it was Lu Jian's illusion, but her eyes moved a little bit.

"Then what is seeing the world?"

Lu Juan continued.

"To see the world, to be able to see anything in any part of the world, at this time, it is no longer the pair of naked eyes, but the eyes of the heart. In this state, it is the domain of the witch. Anywhere at sea is attacked by filth, and clean fire follows."

Speaking of Miko-sama, Kohaku's emotions became a little more obvious.

"Then I think you can try to go to places with a lot of people when you practice, maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort."

Lu Jian suggested.

"For this kind of self-cultivation work, the more people there are, the better. It's best to be in the vegetable market. When you watch two aunts arguing and greet each other's [-]th generation ancestors, you should stop there, then settle down and train. It must have worked out well.”

"Food market? Eighteen generations of ancestors?"

Amber was slightly puzzled.

"You haven't been out of this house, have you?"

Lu Jian remembered that in some novels, most of these witches and the like lived reclusively, and some had never seen the outside world at all.

"I don't need to go out."

Amber can only argue in this way.

"The time of practice is precious and should not be wasted on pleasure."

"That's true."

Lu Bian sighed.

After all, the person standing in front of him is not a pure academic master or a genius, but the hope of the world is focused on her successor as the next priestess priestess. If his own strength is lacking in the slightest, it will lead to the death of countless people. Death, not sloppy.

"But this time you go to Hedao, you can experience the outside world, which is pretty good."

Lu Jian joked.

"What I want to do is to arrive and the island, not travel."

Amber said seriously.

While the two were chatting under the moon, the grass beside Lu Jian's feet suddenly shook.

Almost instantly, Amber raised her bow and drew the string, and the arrow shot out through the air, flying straight towards the grass.

thump——

The wooden arrows sank straight into the ground, with such strength that even Lu Jian could not compare with it. The wind brought by the arrows blew up the grass, revealing the things underneath.

It was a dog.

"???"

Lu Jian looked at the dog and felt a little familiar.

It looks almost the same as the one I keep at home.

"Laika?"

Lu Jian called out tentatively.

"Ow!"

The dog ran over and frantically rubbed Lu Trian's trouser legs.

"It really is you, wait, why did you come here?"

Lu Jian rubbed Laika's round head.

This is not an island country, but Hedao, a foreign land.

But if you think about it carefully, Laika's body is a hound that can travel through time to hunt down the Chosen One, so it's no problem at all to be able to follow the smell of the landing trip to catch up with Kazushima.

In other words, if it had come to chase Lu Trip, then Lu Trip might have sent it by now.

"what is this?"

Amber's nose moved slightly, she was always on guard against Laika, this dog had a special feeling, very similar to filth.

"It's my dog ​​called Laika."

Lu Jian introduced.

"Laika?"

Amber was a little uncertain about the pronunciation.

At this time, Laika suddenly moved her nose and looked at Amber, and then, with four short legs, she quickly moved to Amber's side.

"Huh? Wait ah!"

Before Amber could react, the fat dog came to Amber's feet, and while rubbing the white socks affectionately, he lay on the ground and rolled, his belly turned up.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jian had mixed feelings.

If Laika turned into its original appearance at this time, the picture would be simply too beautiful.

Amber looked at the rolling dog begging to be stroked, hesitated for a while, then slowly squatted down, and reached out to touch Laika's belly.

Soft, fluffy, and warm.

This wonderful touch reassured Amber, and she rubbed Laika's stomach again like Lu Tumbler rubbed Laika's head.

"Woooooo-"

Laika made a comfortable sound and rolled more vigorously.

Suddenly, Amber stopped, she stood up, and took two steps back.

"Sorry, I should go back."

Picking up the bow and arrow, she bowed to Lu Jian, then hurriedly turned and left, as if being driven away by something.
