My son, how could you be Lü Bu?!

Chapter 62 Lü Bu Learns Skills

Chapter 64 Lü Bu Learns Skills

"Rotten wood cannot be carved!"

"Damn it! He's rotten wood, beyond redemption!"

"Lu Bu, are you even listening to your master?!"

at this time.

In the small courtyard where the Cai family is temporarily staying.

Since he had already taken on a disciple, Cai Yong thought he should teach him well. Since he was just staying in Wuyuan City anyway, he decided to take a copy of the Spring and Autumn Annals and explain the punctuation and meaning of some sentences to Lü Bu.

It would also allow the Wuyuan County to teach these border warriors, who only know how to fight, to be influenced by some literary and poetic refinement.

At first, everything was fine.

Although his newly accepted disciple Lü Bu looked bitter and reluctant to learn, Lü Bu nodded repeatedly as soon as Cai Yong spoke, showing an excellent attitude.

They were completely devoid of the crudeness typical of border warriors!

This attitude pleased Cai Yong, who was usually a bit arrogant. He couldn't help but nod repeatedly, wanting to teach Lü Bu some real skills.

only...

When he was thirsty from talking, he rested for a while, drank some tea, and then asked Lü Bu to repeat what he had said to him, wanting to see how much Lü Bu had actually learned.

That's when he realized it.

Damn it!

This Lü Bu seemed to have an excellent attitude, nodding repeatedly and appearing extremely obedient. However, he barely listened to what Lü Bu said and didn't really think about it!

He didn't even remember three points, let alone five!

Seeing Lü Bu in this state.

Cai Yong was already furious. If he hadn't cherished the bamboo slips in his hand, he would have almost smashed them directly onto Lü Bu's face.

only...

When Cai Yong suddenly had a whimsical idea to teach Lü Bu to recite the Spring and Autumn Annals with him, to see his sense of rhythm and phrasing.

Looking at Lü Bu, who seemed somewhat serious but stumbled over his words, he realized that Lü Bu might have genuinely listened attentively, but... due to his extremely poor foundation: let alone punctuation, he didn't even recognize nearly a fifth of the characters in the classics.

This is why Lü Bu didn't learn much.

After understanding this point.

Cai Yong sighed. He felt as if he had a burst of energy that he wanted to vent, but it had all come out like cotton.

In a short time.

Seeing Lü Bu's seemingly serious demeanor, Cai Yong's expression was complex.

He remained silent for a moment.

However, he pointed to Cai Dan, who was playing with the raccoon dog that Lu Bu had brought, and said helplessly to Lu Bu.

"Fengxian".

Lu Bu, who was frowning at the bamboo slip in his hand, looked up blankly.

"In the future."

"You arrive half an hour earlier every morning."

"If you encounter any unfamiliar words or don't understand how to punctuate a sentence, you can ask my daughter for help!"

"Don't let her young age fool you; she's already read through all the dozen or so scriptures I brought, and she understands their true meaning!"

Upon hearing that his newly appointed teacher had assigned him to a child five or six years younger than himself, Lü Bu was taken aback, subconsciously frowning slightly as he looked at Cai Dan.

He noticed Lü Bu looking over.

Sitting to one side, Xiao Cai Dan, who had listened to her father's entire speech, had a smile on her face.

"Brother Lü, Yan gets up very early every morning; you can ask him for advice."

Before Lü Bu could thank him, Xiao Cai Dan raised the raccoon dog in his hand and asked Lü Bu curiously.

"By the way, does this cat have a name?"

Upon hearing Cai Dan's question, Lü Bu remained silent for a moment before slowly uttering a name that even he, a semi-literate man, found rather rustic.

"It... is called Big White."

"Oh?!" Upon hearing this name, Cai Dan's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask more questions.

Cai Yong, who was standing to one side, seemed to have thought of something again, and suddenly spoke up, interrupting his youngest daughter.

"alright!"

"Just getting acquainted is enough; no need for further conversation!"

talking.

He stood up again and walked into the house.

"Fengxian, come with me."

"Although your foundation is weak, it won't prevent you from learning other things!"

"Now that I've accepted you as my disciple, and you seem quite eager to learn, I cannot hold back. I will certainly teach you everything you need to know!"

"My reputation in Luoyang is so great that many people are eager to befriend me. Besides my character, I also have three other exceptional qualities."

"Firstly, my teacher is skilled at writing inscriptions, and among these, he is particularly adept at writing epitaphs!"

"Back in Luoyang, whenever someone died, everyone wanted me to write an epitaph. In fact, there were almost always long queues outside my house just to have one written!"

"So... teacher, you make friends by eating the dead?" Lu Bu suddenly asked with some curiosity.

When talking about his specialty, Cai Yong was unusually proud, but Lu Bu stopped him. He coughed twice and glared at Lu Bu.

"What?! Dead man's food?!"

"This is the elegance of scholars! A tribute to the deceased!"

Cai Dan, who was not far away, heard the conversation between the two and suddenly laughed.

Although Lü Bu was all brawn and no brains, he wasn't stupid. Seeing Cai Yong's expression, he immediately shut up.

then.

Cai Yong paused for a while before speaking again.

"Secondly, there's my cursive seal script, with its strokes revealing wisps of white space, as if written with a dry brush. It's been admired and imitated by many, and is known as 'flying white script'!"

"As for the third point."

"It is my skill in playing the zither that makes people proud to hear Yong play a tune. Some time ago, that Prince Wang was chasing me because I refused to play the zither for him!"

talking.

Suddenly, a smug look reappeared on Cai Yong's face. His bulbous nose was raised to the sky, giving him an arrogant appearance.

Seeing his father like this, Xiao Cai Dan, who was outside, looked helpless again.

These three unique skills, compared to Cai Yong, made Lü Bu seem like a complete country bumpkin from Jiuyuan. He listened with amazement and sighs.

Followed by.

As if he had just thought of something, Lü Bu suddenly looked up, his face full of astonishment.

"etc."

"Teacher, do we have to learn the classics, inscriptions, and the 'flying white' calligraphy style? And finally, we have to learn to play the zither?"

"When I came here, my father only said he wanted to teach me to read more scriptures... he didn't say I had to learn so much!"

"Lu Bu, will you learn or not?!" Upon hearing Lu Bu's question, Cai Yong merely glanced at him disdainfully, a cold smile on his face.

"These three unique skills of mine, if left out in the open, any one of them would be worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

"Those who live elsewhere can't learn this even if they wanted to!"

"A scroll of inscriptions, a piece of cursive script, or even a single tune on the zither can be worth a thousand pieces of gold?!" Upon hearing this, Lü Bu seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He hesitated for a moment, enduring the soreness in his head from studying, then gritted his teeth and nodded emphatically.

"Cloth learning!"

As the sun began to set, it grew increasingly late.

South of Jiuyuan City.

There exists a very continuous Wula Mountain range running east to west, which is the eastern branch of the Yinshan Mountains.

at this time.

As the sun moved westward, it cast extremely long shadows of countless figures carrying swords and knives, slowly making their way towards Jiuyuan City outside the mountains.
