Yuan Qingsu stood outside the pavilion and looked back at the entrance of Yin-Yang Lao, where there were ripples of divine power.

The night wind blew, and the trees in the garden made gloomy and dull whispers.

The two of them said nothing and walked side by side towards the exit of the Imperial Garden in the darkness.

When I arrived outside the garden, the lights suddenly lit up and the code words of the woods gradually disappeared.

Standing in front of the traffic light, Yuan Qingsu looked at the vehicles passing by in the neon light and suddenly remembered something.

"People with divine power must participate in the battle. Why do you have to be so troublesome? You still need to look for me as an outsider?" he asked.

"Every generation of divine witches has not lived past 25 years old. It is the most important force to resist monsters. When I arrived at me, the Great Imperial Office wanted me to continue practicing. Unless all other practitioners were killed, they would not have to participate in the battle, but he could only manage the official, not the unofficial."

"Isn't this a good thing? If you keep practicing, you will be strong one day to resist monsters alone, and you can still survive by yourself."

"The 14 years without the war, the mortality rate of practitioners is very high, and ordinary people..." Shen Lin Yuzi fell into silence, his face slightly dim.

"This is just a temporary sacrifice," Yuan Qingsu looked at her beautiful and refined face, "In the long run, you will continue to live and practice, which is the best way to reduce more sacrifices."

"Let the next generation of divine witches do it." Shen Lin Yuzi put away his emotions and his expression became calm again. "The responsibility of the divine witch is to protect. The person who accomplishes this matter may not necessarily be me."

The red light began to flash, and the green light was on in a blink of an eye.

The two walked onto the zebra crossing and shuttled through the noisy crowd like a shadow puppet.

"Miss Shen Lin," said Yuan Qingsu after a moment of silence, "You have a goal you want to achieve, and I want to survive, so let's put the contradiction aside first and live together, is it okay?"

"good."

Leaving the zebra crossing, the two walked towards the station in the eyes of the people around them.

"Your gaze is a little short-sighted, but a great person." Yuan Qingsu said from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you want to give up avenge on me? Although I don't think you have hope." Shen Lin Yuzi glanced at him.

"My eyes have a long-term vision, but I am a selfish villain. As long as I don't take revenge, I will remember it for the rest of my life."

Shen Lin Yuzi had finished five words, and the two stopped talking and walked to the station platform.

The tram slid into the platform with the night wind, watching the people in the car get off first and the people on the platform get on later, Yuan Qingsu thought: Can such rules be used somewhere in practice?

If a tram does not follow the rules of [get off first and go on], the ones who go down cannot get off, the ones who want to get on cannot get up, which will reduce the efficiency of getting on and off, and even congested traffic doors will cause the doors to fail to close.

The door cannot be closed and the train cannot depart on time, which will affect the time of a train of people. If the stoppage time is too long, it will also affect the normal operation of subsequent trains and even affect the operation order of the entire line.

After thinking for a while, he could only think of: no matter how busy he is, he cannot make trouble, and he must always remain calm.

"Miss Shenlin, ask for a question."

"Um."

Yuan Qingsu said what she thought and asked her: "As a senior, do you have any opinions on this?"

Shen Lin Yuzi first glanced at him and replied:

"It is important to maintain a normal mind, but in battle, you must be between tension and slackness, and be impartial in order to respond to changes in the same way."

Yuan Qingsu thought about what she said, and thought of the words in "The Art of War" "If you don't know your enemy, you will know yourself, you will win and lose."

If you are a "confidant", can you maintain a "balance between tension and slackness" in the battle?

He reported this to Shenlin Yuzi.

"It is a way to understand yourself and let you think about the problem from a high perspective, but it is difficult to be a complete confidant."

"It's a little bit to learn, thank you."

"When you go back, read more notes I gave you, which contain all my insights on my practice."

The two boarded a different tram.

Miko Kamiyashi returned to the "Haishan Shrine", and Genyu went to the "Minghe Valley" to teach high school students.

During self-study and Q&A, he took out Shenlin Yuzi's practice notes.

Before looking through, he took out a blank note and prepared to write down all his understanding and insights in practice.

He wrote down the thunder mantra, water mantra, and divine flow in today's chronological order, and wrote down the events just now.

【On April 3rd, watch the tram to get on and off】

【·Enlightenment: Keep a normal mind and be at the same time between tension and slackness]

【·Method: Get to know yourself thoroughly】

Having written this, something appeared in my mind.

【·Extension: Understanding leads to domination】

[·Extended 2: Don’t limit your perception to combat, everything is the same (Associated Thunder Spell, Water Spell and Sword Technique, practice these first)]

[·Extended 3: You can get insights from the tram and "The Art of War", so you can also use other things and books. Pay more attention and get in touch with new things in daily life]

[Summary: There is new knowledge to learn every day, and strive to defeat yesterday's me with today's me]

"Teacher Yuan." Some students came to ask questions with red books.

"Where can't you?" Yuan Qingsu closed the notes.

During rest, you cannot practice thunder mantras and water mantras. Yuan Qingsu uses a ballpoint pen to practice Shinto Flow Sword Technique.

"Teacher, what is this?" asked the student from the nearby female high school.

"I participated in the Kendo Department of the school and have been practicing recently." Yuan Tengsu ballpoint pen stroked in the air, which was the "Thunder and Fire Slash" in the Shinto flow.

If you inject divine power and use this move to slash out, the body of the delicate girl wearing a pleated skirt in front of you will show signs of being burned and electric shocked.

"So amazing! Teacher Yuan not only learns well, but also knows kendo!" The girls around him made admiration voices.

Even the air changed color, and a dazzling light burst out on their faces.

Yuan Qingsu has the magic that makes girls look radiant.

"Just beginners." Another move of "Flowing Water Slash" was another "Flowing Water Slash" with the girl besieging him.

If you inject divine power and use "North Star", the girl's heads will basically fall off in this circle.

"So handsome!"

"Teacher Yuan will do it again!"

"Wait a minute, I'll take my phone to record the video and post it on Facebook!"

“Can’t record video.”

"Hey——, stingy!"

Yuan Qingsu's move "Rolling Wood Slash" is a trick that focuses on endless streams, one after another, like endless wood rolling down from the hillside.

In his eyes, the girl who wanted to record the video had been crushed into a pie.

"Go back and start class." He put away the ballpoint pen.

"No, can you talk for a while?"

“That’s it.”

"Teacher Yuan, tell us your ins account!"

No matter how the girl with the hem of the skirt is high, Yuan Qingsu is unshakable.

After class, I took the tram back to the dormitory.

The dormitories provided by the school are very small.

When taking a shower, you will accidentally touch the toilet at your feet, but except for these, everything else is pretty good.

There is an old refrigerator half a person tall in the southwest corner;

There is a mini kitchen for making some simple meals;

There is a desk, a single small bed with a wall, and the head of the bed is a small bookshelves containing professional course books and foreign language dictionaries.

Yuan Qingsu turned on the desk lamp and looked at "Microbiology" and Shen Lin Yuzi's cultivation notes for a while.

I have to give up after learning 90% of Spanish. Saving my life is the most important thing now.

Close the notes and replace the "North Star" with a transparent umbrella of 100 yen in the convenience store, and practice Shinto flow.

Then practice the water spell in the bathroom until the divine power is exhausted.

After some tossing, the muscles were hot and the ligaments were thrusting and thrusting, and I felt that my muscles and bones could not stand up, and the pain was unbearable.

I endured my fatigue, took a simple shower, climbed onto the bed with difficulty, pulled the quilt to my chest, and covered my body with a pile of bones.

Close my eyes, recall what happened today, and finally empty my brain and prepare to go to bed, I began to worry about money again.

From 9 am to 4 pm, I spent 7 hours at the "Shira Mountain Shrine" and paid in installments from "Polaris". I spent 90,000 yen on my practice for one day just today.

The deposit is only 110,000 yen.

Just as I was about to think about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, my sleepiness surged.

In the end, I had to use the motto of Confucian scholar Anhui Xixuan to comfort my poor self:

"I am a cuckoo in the sky. Now I will swallow my anger and be famous in the future."

The next Sunday, before his eyes opened, Yuan Qingsu recalled the key points of casting the thunder and water spells in his brain.

When brushing my teeth, I couldn't help but use my toothbrush to show the sword moves of Shinto.

"Thunder and Fire Slash!" As soon as he slashed out, Yuan Qingsu called out "ah", and the mirror where the toothpaste was sprinkled was everywhere.

"Sorry, Brother Mirror, you can hold it for a while."

Yuan Qingsu simply doesn’t wipe it first, apply a move, brush your teeth for a while, think about the skills of transporting capacity during the brushing time, and then apply another move, brush your teeth for a while.

When he finished brushing his teeth, there was no place to look at people in the mirror.

Next is breakfast.

I had no money and wanted to eat well, so I had to go to the school cafeteria.

There were no people on campus on Sunday morning, so the school specially launched a 100 yen package to promote students to eat breakfast.

In the past, he was a person who ate Akamon ramen, 500 yen! His living standards were cut by four-fifths!

After dinner, Yuan Qingsu came to the side of "San Silang Pool".

Today he could see the transparent carp by himself.

"Good morning." He greeted the carp.

Regardless of the carp's reaction, put down the notes of Shen Lin Yuzi and his own, took out the "Polaris" and started practicing.

"Stepping water!"

The sword swept across, even if it was not infused with divine power, relying on the sharpness of the "North Star", the surrounding green leaves kept falling and falling into the pool.

"Roll the wood chop!"

"North Star" slashed towards the water, one sword after another.

Occasionally, someone passed by, and Yuan Qingsu pretended to be a member of the Kendo Ministry and practiced some slashes that seemed to be on TV - I don't know if it was called this name.

A man asked him where he bought the sword. After he was perfunctory, he considered where to get a wooden sword that was not expensive.

At half past eight, he packed his things and took the tram to the "Haishan Shrine".

The tram was shaking, and the cherry blossoms outside the window were almost full of blooming, and it seemed as if the tram was about to dye it pink.

Yuan Qingsu sat near the door of the tram, holding his own practice notes in his hand, and wrote down some of his morning experiences.

After writing, I began to think about how to make money.

As an unofficial practitioner, I also received a reward for participating in the [Battle], 500,000 yen at a time, and 5 million yen died.

This is what happened next, what should I do now?

The first thing is to save money and start with food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Clothes.

You don’t need to buy clothes, just wear old ones. Just in case, ask your mother to send high school sportswear as training clothes.

Food.

Canteen, end.

live.

The student dormitory that I finally applied for is very cheap. Although it is inconvenient to practice, there is currently no better choice.

OK.

Next time you walk, don’t take the tram. The toll is a lot of money, and it’s not too far anyway. Time on the road can also be used to read the notes of practice.

In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is actually another one, which is communication fees.

But the mobile phone package that the female teller who helped Yuan Qingsu was already the most economical and affordable. Unless she didn't use it, there would be no room for saving money.

The second is open source.

As a part-time job as a private school lecturer, he earns 2,500 yen, 6 hours a week, and earns 15,000 yen per week. He can only buy Miss Shen Lin for one and a half hours.

There is also the money sent from home.

The money I sent was quite considerable, so I could go out for dinner occasionally, but he sent the letter yesterday, which happened to say that he started his part-time job and would probably be less next month.

Currently, there are only these two items in terms of income, and you can also find a part-time job, but earning money is for the sake of practice. Now, for money, I waste my time in practicing cultivation, and put the cart before the horse.

"Ah." Yuan Qingsu sighed.

Although he has never been generous, he has never been worried about money like this.

"Next stop, Baishan Station, Baishan Station." Yuan Qingsu closed the notebook and got up and got out of the car.

Walk to the shrine, walk into the banyan tree with roots, and come to the residence of Miko Kamira.

"Miss Shenlin, I wanted to say yesterday that your hair is beautiful when tied, elegant and refined, and looks very nice when it is loose."

"Thank you." Shen Lin Yuzi still had her hair tied up today, wearing a witch's suit, and white magnolia embroidered on her sleeves.

"This is my practice notes. Please review it for Miss Shen Lin." He handed his notes to the other party.

She nodded gently and took the notes' hand, white and slender.

Shen Lin Yuzi slowly read Yuan Qingsu's notes, and Yuan Qingsu took the time to go to the courtyard to practice before the Butterfly Shikigami brought tea.

First, he practiced divine power, surrounded by colorful divine aura, and was absorbed by the black light in his body.

The entire courtyard seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​light, and the gorgeous light covered the green of the plants and trees.

After practicing, practice thunder spells against the pond that Shen Lin Yuzi had blasted out yesterday.

This mantra is like practicing divine power. There is no place for him to practice except here, and once he is cast, it will be thunder.

The sun at noon passes through the window and copies the sun on the tatami in the Kawaka.

Shen Lin Yuzi modified it, supplemented Yuan Qingsu's notes, got up and came to the corridor. Yuan Qingsu was practicing Shendao.

The "North Star" infused with divine power emitted black light, cremation crackled, and as soon as the "Thunder and Fire Slash" took action, a burst of white smoke emerged from the pond water.

Shen Lin Yuzi glanced at him and pointed: "Don't use the strength of twisting the rag, imagine that there is a tea cloth in his hand."

"Tea cloth? What is that?" Yuan Qingsu stopped and turned around and asked.

Next to the side of the Shenlin Yuzi, Bai Zi, a girl in military uniform, sat in the corridor and played chess with the Butterfly Shikigami. The Butterfly Shikigami was disagreeable and was arguing about what to do next.

On the wooden boards in the corridor, there are tea and desserts prepared by Butterfly Little Man for Yuan Qingsu.

"The cloth used to clean tea sets in the tea ceremony," said Shen Lin Yuzi. "For elegance, you should not twist hard like a rag when twisting. You should keep your strength. When you make moves, you should not use too much force. Once you make an excessive move, the ups and downs of your movements will become larger, and your opponent will see through the intention, and you will not have the spare energy to change your moves."

"I don't understand the tea ceremony. Can I use other words next time?" Yuan Qingsu was very honest. If she knew, she knew.

"Don't you write in your notes, so be more careful and get in touch with new things? Take this opportunity to learn more."

"It makes sense, but this is the same as the thing between us. I will talk about it when I can survive!" After saying that, Yuan Qingsu turned his body and looked at the pond and hit the "Thunder and Fire Slash".

This time he had spare energy, and his power became weaker, but at the same time, he moved his heart and swung his sword and another "flowing water slash" with a seven-point force.

The water in the pond splashed everywhere, the grass and trees became wet, and a miniature rainbow appeared in the air.

A layer of golden waves appeared in the corridor, blocking the splashes of water.

"So that's how it is!" Yuan Qingsu's tone was filled with joy and excitement, and she was happy that she had learned a trick.

Before, he saw Shindo Liu's moves, and his moves were powerful, and he thought he had to do his best. As a result, after each move, he had to adjust his breath slightly before he could use the second move.

Now you can use two moves in a row. Although the power is weak, there is one more move and you can deal with more changes.

"The flowing water slash is not only about drawing circles, cleaning up the surroundings, but also used to attack and advance unexpectedly." Shen Lin Yuzi said again.

Yuan Qingsu pondered for a while, and the "North Star" in his hand suddenly bloomed in black light, carrying black water waves, biting at Shenlin Yuzi like a water dragon.

Shenlin Yuzi played his fingers and a golden water wave flew out, which was also a "flowing water slash".

Just as the black water and the golden water were about to collide, Yuan Qingsu turned around and the originally aggressive black dragon dived like flowing water, avoiding the golden water, and rushed towards Shenlin Yuzi again.

This move not only uses Shen Lin Yuzi's guidance on "Flowing Water Slash", but also has the skills to retain power.

It is precisely because of the retention of energy that the source of pure water can turn "flowing water slash".

"Piggy! You're desperate!" Bai Zi, who was playing chess, jumped up and picked up the bell and threw it over.

Shen Lin Yuzi waved his hand, a golden light flashed, and the bell flew back.

As for Yuan Qingsu... he was thrown into the pool again - he could make the "River Slash" turn, and of course the god Lin Yuzi who taught him would do it.

The golden water wave, with the man and the sword, rolled him up and threw him into the pool behind him.

"Can you please throw me away? My clothes are so wet..."

Before Yuan Qingsu finished speaking, Shen Lin Yuzi waved his palm again, "Rolling Wood Slash" hit the head.

Yuan Qingsu subconsciously used the "Roll Wood Slash" to fight back.

Two waves of air collide with each other, offsetting each other. Since the source of Qingyuan is in the water, there is no place to borrow power, the person sinks in again.

It was too late to float up, for "Rolling Wood Slash", it was just the first wave of air just now.

Yuan Qingsu opened his eyes, the water waves swayed, the sky was as blue as the sea, the water surface was bright, and the next wave of air had already hit.

He swung his sword hard and offset the wave of air again. The person was repelled and stood completely at the bottom of the pool three meters deep.

After the foot touched the bottom, Yuan Qingsu calmed down instead, and the third "Rolling Wood Slash" slashed towards the water.

Who knew that the one coming from the opposite side was not "Rolling Wood Slash", but "Rolling Water Slash".

The golden air wave entered the water, and it was swimming around his black "rolling wood slash" like a swimming fish, hitting him.

Yuan Qingsu's eyes were filled with Venus, and he vomited blood directly, and the clear pool water in front of him turned red.

When he floated up hard, he lay down by the pool, feeling weak like a dog falling into the water.

"I learned it." He was not angry, but instead convinced him.

He had just learned to retain strength and change moves, but he still subconsciously thought that "Rolling Wood Slash" was one after another, sticking to moves.

"Your talent is the best of people I have ever met."

A golden light like rain fell on Yuan Qingsu to heal his injuries.

"It's useless to be talented, it's true that you can survive." In a blink of an eye, Yuan Qingsu felt that his health was more than half better.

"Good talent can give you a little more survival rate in the first [battle] the day after tomorrow."
Chapter completed!
