The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: Li Qing

Hui Ning led Losa and Akali down the promenade of Shuoji Temple.

In the practice field in the courtyard, there are many monks practicing martial arts, shirtless and dripping with sweat.

Lothar looked at these warriors thoughtfully. Ionia’s natural environment is very pleasant, which is why there are these monks who deliberately practice penance. But the Freljord does not have this kind of place for martial arts at all. The teenagers of all tribes have survived the confrontation with the cold wind and frozen soil, and they have tried their best just to survive.

Akali thought that Hui Ning would bring them to the main hall. She had heard that the temple of Shuoji Temple was beautiful, but Hui Ning led them to the backyard and pushed open the chai gate behind.

“Hey!” Akali grabbed Hui Ning’s shoulder, “Didn’t I ask you to take us to meet that Master Li Qing? Where are we going now?”

“Little benefactor, you are too impetuous.” Hui Ning said indifferently, “I think you are holding Kunai, you should be a disciple of Balanced, have you never cultivated your mind?”

Akali was at a loss for words, and folded her arms in dissatisfaction: “You are obviously about my age, yet you actually preached to me…”

Hui Ning looked at Losa and explained: “Master Li Qing doesn’t have his own school in the temple. He usually meditates alone in the back mountain. I’ll take you to meet him now.”

“A master who doesn’t have his own school.” Akali hugged Lothar’s arm and whispered, “Isn’t it a liar? Are the rumors you heard reliable?”

Lothar touched Akali’s head: “Don’t worry, I know what’s going on.”

There is a luxuriant bamboo forest growing in the back mountain, but there is no paved road, not even a stepped path, and it looks like it is inaccessible.

Huining brought the two of them to the mountainside, and finally saw the building.

An ancient ancestral hall.

It seems that the ancestral hall has not been cleaned for a long time. It is full of dust and fallen leaves. The foot of the stone niche is full of green bamboo shoots. A few squirrels who were digging the ground hurriedly dispersed when they saw Lothar and others coming.

The ancestral hall has no gate, so you can clearly see what’s inside. There are many ancient scrolls and ritual utensils piled up. There seems to be a mural on the wall, but it’s covered with dust, so you can’t see what the painting is.

There is also a stone statue in front of the ancestral hall. It is a strong monk with thick muscles and bones. His upper body is naked, his long braids hang down to the ground, and he sits cross-legged, as if he is meditating.

“There’s no one here?” Akali searched for a long time but couldn’t find anyone there. “You won’t play tricks on us, will you?”

“Hush.” ​​Hui Ning motioned the two of them to be quiet, walked to the ancestral hall, closed his eyes, folded his hands together, as if he was paying homage.

The emerald green dragon came out of his sleeve, it flew without wings, and swam in the ancestral hall.

“Pretentious…” Akali also followed, jumped onto the head of the stone statue and squatted down, looking down at Hui Ning condescendingly with her face in her hands, “How long will it take? Where’s Master Li Qing?”

Hui Ning didn’t look back, but said softly: “At your feet.”

“Ah?” Before Akali could react, the stone statue moved.

He stood up, and then shook off the thick dust and mud accumulated on his body, revealing his strong muscles like gold and stone.

Akali lost her footing and fell from his head, but was quickly hugged by him.

“Be careful, little girl.” He said in a deep voice, sounding like a solid rock, “Don’t step on other people’s heads casually.”

“Wow!” Akali jumped behind Lothar in two or three steps in fright. “It’s scary! Aren’t you a stone statue?”

The monk swung the long braid around his neck and wrapped it around his neck. He moved his muscles and bones, and his body was crackling: “You are mistaken. I have meditated for too long, and a lot of mud has accumulated on my body.”

Akali swallowed her saliva: “How long have you been sitting here?”

“A year or so.” He said.

“It’s been three years.” Hui Ning turned around and corrected, “You have been in meditation since you came back from the Hirana Monastery, and it has been three years.”

“Well, time really flies by.” The monk didn’t seem to care, and said calmly.

Lothar looked at the monk carefully. His figure was not burly, and he was thin compared to the big men Lothar knew, such as Olaf and Bron, but every muscle he exposed was extremely smooth and full, even if it was dust. He couldn’t stop the faint red light all over his body, and just standing in front of him felt a continuous heat wave rushing towards his face.

“I seem to have found the right person…” For the first time, Lothar had extremely high confidence in solving his own problems.

Akali pays more attention to the monk bodyThe tattoo on the head seems to be a dragon, but the tattoo wraps around the monk’s whole body, and he can’t see it completely for a while.

She saw a piece of red cloth wrapped around the monk’s face. The cloth was very thick and obviously opaque, but he blocked her eyes and seemed to have no intention of taking it off: “You are Master Li Qing, why? Why don’t you take off that cloth so you can’t see us?”

“It’s not necessary, little girl.” Li Qing smiled slightly, “I’m blind.”

Akali was dumbfounded.

Lothar took a step forward and saluted Li Qing: “Master Li Qing, I hope you can…”

“I can see your problem.” Li Qing interrupted Lothar, “When you stepped into this bamboo forest, I thought it was General Winter who came to chase Xia away, but I didn’t expect you to be so half Big boy.”

“Since Master already knows about my problem, I hope you can find a way to solve it for me.” Lothar said earnestly, “I can do whatever you want.”

Li Qing was facing Lothar. He was blind, but Lothar always felt that there was a hot gaze looking at him under the red cloth.

After a while, Li Qing said: “I’ve never seen you in such a situation, how did you turn your body into this?”

Lothar tore off the neckline of his clothes, revealing the ice feather tattoo: “In my body, there lives…a very powerful spirit, but I can neither awaken this spirit nor remove it from my body.”

The first time Akali heard Lothar mention something about his body, she also pricked up her ears and listened intently.

“I see.” Li Qing walked up to Lothar and pressed his palm on Lothar’s chest. The moment the two touched, Akali clearly heard the sound of “Zi Zi” and white steam drifting along with it. out.

Li Qing let go of his hand and shook his head regretfully: “I can’t solve your problem. This spirit is too deeply rooted in your body. If I force it out, it may hurt you.”

“I’m not afraid of getting hurt!” Lothar said hastily.

“You are very likely to die.”

“I’m not afraid either!”

Li Qing fell silent.

“Master.” Hui Ning came up at this time, “How about letting him enter the body with a dragon?”

“Dragon enters the body” Akali didn’t know what to do, “It seems very cool.”

Li Qing turned around and looked at his disciple: “Do you think he has the qualifications?”

“It’s fate for him to come here to see you.” Hui Ning shook his Zen stick lightly, and Xiao Long flew back to his side: “I think you can try.”

Li Qing nodded: “Since it’s your eyes.”

He looked at Lothar again: “Aren’t you an Ionian?”

“How do you know?”

“Your accent sounds like a deliberate imitation.”

Lothar was secretly stunned. He thought his Ionia was already very authentic, but he didn’t expect to be recognized: “Yes, I’m not Ionia.”

“Let me guess.” Li Qing said, “You are from the Freljord.”

Lothar was startled, but readily admitted: “Yes.”

Section 128

“Freljord…” Akali seemed to have heard the elders of the Kinkou Sect mention this place, but she was always distracted in class, and couldn’t remember what they talked about.

“Freljord…” Li Qing seemed to be nostalgic and said, “I have been to that place, it was extremely cold, and there is no hell on earth like this.”

“Why did the master go there?”

“The Freljord is very famous in many monasteries and monasteries. The environment in Ionia is not suitable for penance. Some confident young disciples will go there. Although there are not many people who come back every time, there are still many People yearn for.”

Lothar didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The barren and cold land of the Freljord was actually yearned for by the Ionians who were sitting on a rich land.

After reminiscing, Li Qing changed the subject: “Although you are not Ionian, I don’t mind. As long as you can be recognized by Shenlong, even if you are Noxus, I will not hold grudges.”

“Shenlong…” Lothar was a little confused, and Swain didn’t mention what it was.

“But you have to pass my assessment first.” Li Qing said, “Otherwise I won’t let you see Shenlong.”

“Master, let me come.” Hui Ning volunteered.

Li Qing glanced at Hui Ning unexpectedly. Among his disciples, Hui Ning had always been the most indifferent one. He didn’t expect him to propose it.

“Could it be that this Luosha…has also raised his interest?” Li Qing suddenly felt that things had become quite interesting.

“Okay, that’s it.” Li Qing said to Lothar, “Luosha, find a way to defeat Hui Ning and get his approval. This is your assessment. If you can’t even win against him, it’s useless to meet Shenlong Send to death.”

Lothar was stunned. He lowered his head to look at Hui Ning, a child who looked to be about the same age as Akali.

“I really want to fight with children”

There are many spirits of nature in Ionia, but the most famous spirit of nature must be the dragon.

It is said that Shenlong is one of the most powerful spirits of nature. Its image is a mythical beast with a snake body, wolf head, antlers, rabbit eyes, eagle claws, lion mane, fish scales, and carp tail. The whole body is burning forever. flames.

Unlike other spirits of nature, Shenlong has no territory of its own, because it is an unfettered existence, it can soar to the nine heavens, or dive into the abyss.

Another way of saying is that Shenlong actually has its own territory, butIts territory is the whole of Ionia.
