Chapter 100 A True Urban Legend
If Ji Ruo's admission to the martial arts exam was exposed because of those news reports, people from other places might just think that the kid is good. Even most people in Yuncheng might just think that he is new and interesting, and they want to come over to join in the fun and help out.
All in all, everyone has a good feeling about this matter.
Of course, not everyone is in a good mood.
City First Hospital.
"Why, why is the boss a martial arts student..."
Little Hu Wang stood in front of his mother's bed, clenched his fists, and his eyes were red.
He remembered what Wang Yun said to him this afternoon when she found him.
"Hu Wang, the teacher wants to apologize to you."
"Apologize? Apologize for what?"
Wang Yun said: "The teacher misunderstood your boss for some reason. The teacher apologizes to you."
She knew before that Ji Ruo was a martial arts student, but because Ji Ruo was not injured and had white hair, he did not look like a good student...she was discriminating against him because of his hair color.
But now, as those pieces of news came out, some of Ji Ruo's personal information was also exposed.
An orphan, an excellent student, sunny and positive... and those words, that song.
This made Wang Yun completely change her view of Ji Ruo.
Hu Wang didn't understand.
Wang Yun clicked on a video, which showed Ji Ruo standing on the flag-raising platform and singing at the top of his lungs.
Little Hu Wang stared at the video blankly and listened to Ji Ruo's song.
He felt as if something was touched in his heart, but he was too young to know what it felt like.
I just think this song is a bit strange. It obviously doesn't sound that good, and the sound is broken and out of tune, but somehow I feel it's not bad...
"Teacher used to think that Ji Ruo had survived in the Beast Mountain by hiding behind the patrolling warriors, but now it seems... In short, Hu Wang, your boss is an excellent person. You should learn more from him."
"Boss... is a martial arts student..." Hu Wang murmured in disbelief.
Wang Yun didn't hear clearly, and asked in confusion: "Hu Wang, what did you say?"
"No, nothing." Hu Wang forced a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, I will be obedient..."
"Well, next time you see Ji Ruo, apologize to him on behalf of the teacher." Wang Yun rubbed Hu Wang's head and said, "Go back to class first."
"good."
…
In the hospital, Hu Wang's eyes were red and his fists were clenched so tightly that they turned white.
He recalled the time he spent with Ji Ruo.
Ji Ruo pushed him in a cart, passing through the streets and alleys. The whistling wind in his ears seemed to carry the scent of happiness.
Ji Ruo taught him boxing, taught him iron sand palm, and taught him the principles of being a human being...
He was really lucky to have a boss like Ji Ruo.
"But why...why is the eldest one a martial arts student?"
Hu Wang looked at his mother who was still unconscious on the hospital bed and wiped away his tears.
He likes playing with Ji Ruo, likes the principles that Ji Ruo teaches him, and also wants to be a good boy.
But when he thought that his mother became like this because of protecting the martial arts examinee, and his father did not come back because of protecting the martial arts examinee, he could no longer feel towards Ji Ruo the same way as before.
Because Ji Ruo was a military examination candidate.
"Woo woo woo, mom, wake up mom..."
Hu Wang fell on the bedside, sobbing softly, "Mom, why are you the only one back? Where's Dad? Didn't you two go together? Why didn't you come back together?"
"Mom, why are you going? Is it because I'm not a good child?"
"I will study hard and be obedient in the future. Mom, please wake up... please... wuwuwuwuwuwu..."
"They are not yours, why do you care about them..."
Little Hu Wang's crying became louder and louder, attracting some doctors and nurses to come over and try to get Hu Wang to stop.
This is a hospital, loud noises are prohibited.
A warrior who had lost his right arm stood in front of the ward. The doctors and nurses who rushed over shook their heads and sighed, "Let the child cry for a while. We're fine."
Some people in other wards were also affected by the crying and were a little dissatisfied at first, but after coming out and understanding the situation, they expressed their understanding.
"Yeah, we're not in the way."
"Let him cry."
Apart from making Hu Wang cry, they didn't know how to comfort the child.
…
"Hmm~"
Little Huwang's mother opened her eyes in confusion.
What caught my eye was the spotless white ceiling, and the ventilator that assisted breathing was adjusted to the rhythm of a certain breathing method.
She is a warrior and has long been out of danger.
“Wuwuwuwu…”
When my hearing returned, I could hear a familiar sobbing sound that seemed to come from a very far away place.
She tilted her head slightly.
I saw my son lying on the bed, repeating over and over again, 'They are not yours, why do you care about them...'
Zhang Ping felt a little distressed.
She pulled off the ventilator and whispered, "Because they are still children."
Hu Wang raised his head suddenly and saw his mother looking at him weakly and tenderly. He threw himself into Zhang Ping's arms and burst into tears.
"Mom! Mom! Woo woo woo woo! You're finally awake!"
Zhang Ping's expression was fierce for a moment.
This hit was pretty hard...
She endured the pain, forced a smile, and gently rubbed Hu Wang's head.
"Awang, Mom protects others because those people are children.
Awang, you are also a child. Your parents cannot be with you all the time.
You will have to grow up and leave us to live on your own.
You will meet many people, experience many things, and form a new family with others...
So, Awang, if you encounter difficulties or danger in the future, mom and dad also hope that others can stand up to protect you. If other children encounter danger in front of us, but we do nothing, then how can others protect you when you encounter danger in the future? "
Hu Wang raised his head with tears in his eyes and looked at his mother in a daze.
"Mom, I..."
"Put yourself in their shoes, Awang. The children we protect will also protect you when you are in danger in the future. Don't be sad."
"But Dad..."
Zhang Ping felt a pain in her heart when she heard this.
If her husband had not sacrificed his life to take care of her, she would not have survived, but even so, she lost both legs.
With her warrior physique, she should have woken up long ago after returning to Da Xia and being out of danger with the medical staff's treatment.
The reason she was in a coma for such a long time was because of her husband's sacrifice.
If she hadn't been worried about little Hu Wang, she would have fallen into a deep sleep.
"Don't be sad, Awang, Dad is a hero and you should be proud of him." Zhang Ping said with a trembling voice.
Xiao Huwang is sad, and she is sad too!
She watched her lover die in front of her own eyes!
She was sad, but she couldn't say that she was sad, and she couldn't let Xiao Huwang be sad with her.
"Awang, have you been studying hard recently?" Zhang Ping tried to change the subject.
Hu Wang was still young, so the topic was easily diverted. He wiped his tears and sobbed, "Yes, I studied hard. Teacher Wang praised me for being a good kid, and I even recognized a big boss..."
Zhang Ping: “???”
She was stunned for a moment.
Is it because the way I woke up is wrong? Do you think I am the boss?!
…
Under the street lights.
Ji Ruo pushed the cart, took Luo Xi with her, and chatted with Gu Xingzhou as they walked.
The boy naturally didn't know that he had just interrupted someone else's emotions from a distance. He concealed his shock and asked curiously:
"Teacher, who is the fantasy master?"
It was a creation of the Lord of Imagination. Ji Ruo also had one in his hand, but it was incomplete.
Although the name of the Panoramic Mirror is strange, its functions are extremely powerful.
Not to mention the 'all-seeing shuttle', the storage space seems to have no limit, and it can even stop time and preserve food!
"Don't you know the Lord of Fantasy?" Gu Xingzhou asked in surprise.
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment: "Should I...know him?"
"It's that urban legend." Seeing Ji Ruo's confused look, Gu Xingzhou knew that Ji Ruo really didn't know the truth, so he said, "The legend about that guy has been circulating on the Internet for many years. I thought you knew it.
No one knows who the Fantasy Master is... No, it should be said that no one knows what the Fantasy Master is.
No one knows whether He is a living being or what form He exists in.
According to legend, this being named the Lord of Fantasy created many treasures that were either powerful or unique. He generously left these treasures in various corners of this world, waiting for those who were destined to find them.
Some are in secret places, some are in gutters, and some are even in toilets...fantasy creations can exist anywhere.
If someone is lucky enough to get one, it will definitely be a great success.”
Ji Ruo was shocked, wasn't he?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the Pantheon.
The ability to travel through time and space at will, as well as the ability to store seemingly unlimited items, who can resist it!
Even if you just use this thing to transport feces and urine, it can still save a lot of manpower and resources!
Gu Xingzhou continued: "This is roughly the content of the legend. This legend seems to have appeared at the same time as the advent of the secret realm.
In the early years, this legend was quite popular on the Internet, but after so many people passed by, no one really found the creation of the Lord of Imagination, so everyone gradually regarded this legend as a more interesting story.
This is 'Urban Legends - Fantasy Masters', these things are quite popular in your circle of young people, I thought you knew it."
Ji Ruo pretended to be puzzled and asked, "If it is a legend, why do you say that the reward given to me is the creation of the Lord of Illusion?"
"Because fantasy creations really exist!" Gu Xingzhou said with a smile: "In this legend, only the main body of the 'Fantasy Master' has never been proven to exist, but the fantasy creations in the legend do exist.
Over the centuries, many lucky people have obtained fantasy creations.
What I brought to you this time is the core of the so-called secret realm transmission device, a part of the fantasy creation: the Pantheon... "
Gu Xingzhou squinted at Ji Ruo and said, "The transmission function of the secret realm transmission device is actually realized by relying on this fragment of the Universal Mirror. In the past, the Education Department used this thing to connect to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Secret Realm and implemented the Secret Realm Martial Arts Examination System.
Now that the secret realm martial arts examination system has been abolished, this fragment has been left idle... Isn't this just right, have you reached an agreement with the mountain god tree? In the future, it may be difficult for you to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain through normal means. With this fragment, it will be more convenient for you. "
As he spoke, Gu Xingzhou took out a small diamond-shaped fragment.
Ji Ruo was stunned. What a coincidence!
The shape of this fragment is exactly the missing piece in the center of the pantheon that Ji Ruo holds!
Seeing Ji Ruo was stunned, Gu Xingzhou thought that Ji Ruo thought this thing was too precious, so he said, "Ji Ruo, this thing is not as precious as you think. It just looks awesome. In fact, because it is incomplete, the only secret realm that can be transported back and forth is the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Now that the secret realm martial arts examination system has been abolished, this fragment is just sitting there for fun. You have made so many friends in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and you have made an agreement with the mountain god tree. You need to go back and forth to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain frequently. Giving the fragment to you is just right."
When Ji Ruo heard this, he immediately followed Gu Xingzhou's words and said, "But teacher, this is a creation of the Lord of Illusion after all. It's a bit inappropriate to give it to me as a student..."
The boy declined sheepishly while reaching out to open the pocket of his school uniform.
It's true that this is his reward, but as a good child, he always has to pretend to refuse when the elders give him 'year-end money'.
Gu Xingzhou was a little confused by Ji Ruo's actions, then he laughed and stuffed the thumb-sized diamond-shaped fragment that reflected a location in Wanshou Mountain into Ji Ruo's pocket.
"You kid, hahahaha."
After thinking for a while, Gu Xingzhou said, "Ji Ruo, the creations of the fantasy master are not all good things. I have seen a fantasy creation called 'Fully automatic tracking infinite toilet paper that can wipe absolutely clean'. Its main function is to automatically wipe the butts of all the people around it who go to the toilet, and it wipes very 'cleanly'."
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment. As soon as he heard the name, he knew that this thing must be the creation of the Lord of Fantasy. He thought to himself that the Lord of Fantasy could have such a down-to-earth creation.
The young man casually replied, "Isn't that great? No matter how much you use it, it will never run out. If we develop technology in this area, it will be like having unlimited energy."
"If only it were that simple." Gu Xingzhou shook his head slightly: "This imaginary creation, when there are no living creatures around that need to be 'cleaned', the paper on it will never be torn off.
The used paper will disappear into thin air, which is not a big problem. The main thing is the "wipe clean" determined by this fantasy creation.
"What do you mean?" Ji Ruo asked curiously.
"It cannot tell whether the person who goes to the toilet is defecating or peeing. No matter who goes to the toilet or how they go, it will automatically wipe the person's butt... After detecting that someone nearby has gone to the toilet, it will wipe until it is absolutely clean..."
Ji Ruo: “?”
Gu Xingzhou said with a face full of memories: "When I first discovered this imaginary creation, it was in a dry toilet at the border.
At that time, a warrior who was about to break through to the Xingxuan Realm had just finished using the toilet when he was found by this toilet paper.
That roll of toilet paper floated behind the warrior to wipe his butt for three years, and as time went by, the speed of wiping became faster and faster, and the force became stronger and stronger. The texture of the toilet paper was obviously very soft, but surprisingly tough..."
Ji Ruo asked blankly: "And then?"
"Then, that warrior was wiped out abruptly..."
Ji Ruo had a toothache: "Is this what it means to 'clean it thoroughly'..."
"So, Ji Ruo, I'm telling you this mainly to tell you that although the creations of the Fantasy Lord are powerful, they are not all good things. Many fantasy creations have very strong side effects. If you have the opportunity to obtain other fantasy creations in the future, don't develop them casually on your own."
Ji Ruo's heart sank, and he suddenly felt that the mirror on his body was a little hot: "Teacher, this fantasy creation you gave me, won't it have any strong side effects?"
"You can rest assured about this." Gu Xingzhou said with a smile: "This fragment is incomplete. It only has the function of directional travel through time and space. It has no side effects. Otherwise, I would not dare to give it to you."
"Huh~ That's good." Ji Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xingzhou suddenly said, "Don't call me teacher anymore. I'm not a teacher anymore. It feels weird to hear you calling me teacher all the time... I'm actually not worthy of being a teacher."
"How come you are not worthy of being my teacher..." Ji Ruo was halfway through his words when he saw that Gu Xingzhou was in a low mood, so he quickly changed the subject: "Then what should I call you? Come to think of it, I don't even know your last name."
Gu Xingzhou was stunned: "Didn't I say that?"
"Did you tell me that?"
"It seems... there really isn't one..." Gu Xingzhou shook his head awkwardly, feeling even more uncomfortable.
It was because of his "careless" character, because there had been no problems in the martial arts exams for the past ten years, and there was still a long time before the Earth Dragon woke up normally, so he did not make many contingency plans, which led to the death of so many children...
"Then let's get to know each other again." Gu Xingzhou gathered his emotions and forced a smile, "My name is Gu Xingzhou, and I'm a sinner."
The moon is high in the sky and the street lights are dim.
The two people and the cat have already arrived downstairs of Ji Ruo's house.
Ji Ruo didn't quite understand why Gu Xingzhou said that he was a sinner. Just as he was about to comfort him, he suddenly felt that this name seemed a little familiar...
"You are the Director of the Education Department?!"
"If I have to say, it should be the previous director who killed so many children. I am not worthy of being the director..." Gu Xingzhou said with a painful expression.
"Uncle Gu, I suddenly remembered something. Please wait for me for a moment."
"Ah? Oh, okay."
Ji Ruo quickly pushed the cart into the hallway and parked it: "Uncle Gu, could you please go to the hospital with me?"
What a coincidence!
Ji Ruo was worried about how to tell the higher-ups about the news, but he didn't expect that the teacher he rescued on the top of the mountain was actually the Director of the Education Department!
"To the hospital?"
