Real game world: I am gifted and I suppress all monsters

Yu Mu scratched his head and said, "Afraid, uh, not afraid, but a little afraid."

Chen Qingzhou was puzzled. "Didn't we have a good chat last time when we went to Beiting together?"

Yu Mu was a little embarrassed, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "That time... that time you were not an elder."

Chen Qingzhou rolled his eyes. "You are just a kid, how old are you? You care about these things. The elders are also human beings, they are nothing more than you!"

Yu Mu nodded, but his expression still didn't relax.

Chen Qingzhou shook his head, "Why are you still awake so late?"

Yu Mu pointed to a stone lock on the ground and said, "The disciple is practicing martial arts."

Chen Qingzhou went up and weighed the stone lock, which was quite heavy. "You are weak, so practice with the lighter ones first, so as not to get hurt."

Yu Mu suddenly became anxious, "Elder! I can do it. I will study hard and practice diligently, and will never bring shame to the sect!"

Chen Qingzhou frowned, "Why are you so excited? I didn't say anything to you!"

Yu Mu was startled and lowered his head, "Disciple...disciple just doesn't want to disappoint the teachers..."

Chen Qingzhou shook his head. "You are so young, why are you so pedantic? I mean we should proceed step by step. More haste makes waste."

Yu Mu respectfully accepted the order: "Yes, yes, disciple understands!"

Chen Qingzhou said "hmm", stood up and was about to leave, but he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and walked towards the northeast corner of the room.

It was just a corner where some miscellaneous items were piled up. I didn't know what was so special about it.

Chen Qingzhou found a few calligraphy scrolls among a pile of miscellaneous items. "Did you draw these?"

Yu Mu nodded. He wrote and painted every day when he was in Tianshan, and he also took the time to paint a few paintings today. "These are just some doodles I made in my spare time. I dare not offend the elder's eyes."

"You've drawn so much in just a short while?"

Chen Qingzhou casually pulled out one of the scrolls of calligraphy and painting and unfolded it to take a look.

It is a painting of "Green Bamboos in the Auspicious Snow", in which the brushwork and ink are used skillfully, with the strokes flowing like dragons and snakes, and flowing like clouds and running water around the white paper.

The painting shows the mountains and snow of Tianshan Mountain. In the wind and snow, there are several vibrant green bamboos standing upright, unafraid of the severe frost and bitter cold, as if there is a vigorous vitality hidden in them, showing the artist's profound skill.

Expanding further, under the snow-capped mountains and next to the green bamboo, there is a woman in white standing, holding a long sword, standing proudly and independently.

Chen Qingzhou felt that she looked familiar, "Who is this woman?"

Yu Mu blushed and stuttered nervously, "No one, no one, no one, I just drew it casually on a whim..."

"Oh!"

Chen Qingzhou remembered, "This is the little girl Bing from the Yan family in Jiangnan!"

"what!"

Yu Mu looked like a shocking secret had been discovered. His neck and face turned red and he was speechless.

Chen Qingzhou smiled evilly and said, "It's the beginning of love!"

Yu Mu waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'm just drawing casually."

Chen Qingzhou advised: "It's okay if there is none. I advise you that the girl is attracted to Senior Brother Xuanyuan. You can figure it out yourself."

After saying that, she didn't tease him anymore and continued reading. There was a short poem at the end of the scroll.

Auspicious snow fell from the north sky,

Nanzhu looks at the sky.

The snow is the same every year.

The bamboo is different every year.

The poem fits the artistic conception of the painting very well, and seems to symbolize the growth and changes year after year, and gradually gives me a feeling of looking down on the past.

The beautiful hairpin-shaped small calligraphy is graceful and elegant, exuding a graceful charm, which is quite different from the vast and majestic Tianshan Mountains.

Although Chen Qingzhou didn't understand calligraphy and painting, he thought it was beautiful. "Not bad, I didn't expect you to be good at this. You really chose the wrong career!"

"what!"

Yu Mu screamed, "Elder! Please give me another chance. I will practice hard and never waste my time writing or painting again!"

Chen Qingzhou was stunned. Seeing Yu Mu was about to cry, he shook his head and said, "What a nerd! I think you should stop calling me Yu Mu and call me Blockhead!"

Yu Mu was even more frightened, trembling all over, "Elder, please don't despise me, don't drive me down the mountain!"

Chen Qingzhou was convinced. He really had no idea what was going on in this kid's stupid head.

"No, you just don't understand what people say?"

Yu Mu looked at Chen Qingzhou with her big watery eyes, speechless.

Chen Qingzhou coughed twice and consoled her: "Okay, okay, okay. I'm afraid of you. Don't be nervous or afraid. No one is going to drive you down the mountain. Stand up straight and be confident!"

Yu Mu wiped away his tears but shook his head, "To be honest with you, Elder, I have been in Tianci for ten years and I have long forgotten what self-confidence is."

Chen Qingzhou frowned, "Why?"

Yu Mu said dejectedly, "I was chosen by Master Huo when I was seven years old and became a disciple of Tianci. However, in the past ten years, I have never been able to gain enlightenment and have disappointed Master time and time again."

Chen Qingzhou asked curiously: "Then why did he choose you?"

Yu Mu explained: "Because I have loved writing and painting since I was young, Chief Huo is in charge of casting. The weapons used by warriors and the equipment used to guard the city all need to be made according to the drawings."

Chen Qingzhou nodded, "It's not the wrong career, it's pretty good!"

Yu Mu lowered his head, "But this alone is far from enough. You must understand the relevant life skills, otherwise the drawings and weapons you make will not be able to deal with the monsters."

"I see." Chen Qingzhou understood. "Don't worry, you are only a few years old! Look at Senior Sister Qianyu, hasn't she been enlightened yet? But now she has comprehended the first-level life technique. If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response. The early bird catches the worm. Persistence is the key to everything."

Seeing that Yu Mu still had his head down, he advised, “Also, although your master is annoying, he must still value you since he allowed you to go down the mountain to gain experience this time. You should work harder!”

Yu Mu thought carefully about what he said, slowly raised his head, and finally a little light returned to his eyes, "Thank you, Elder Chen, I will work hard."

"What elder? From now on, you should call me brother. If you call me elder again, I will ignore you!"

Yu Mu was terrified and hesitated for a few seconds. Under Chen Qingzhou's sincere gaze, he called out.

"Chen...Brother Chen."

"Well, that's right, young man, do something practical instead of those empty talk!"

Yu Mu bowed to the ground, "I remember, Brother Chen!"

"Take a rest, silly boy. Look at Senior Sister Qianyu. She eats when she should and sleeps when she should. Health is the most important thing."

……

The next day, Chen Qingzhou and the other two left the small garden for cultivation and, led by a disciple, headed to Xuanyuan Stone Forest, a place for practicing martial arts.

This place is as its name suggests. The area within a few miles is filled with towering stone pillars, which are straight and sharp. From a distance, they look like a bamboo forest.

The Stone Forest is located on the east side of the Xuanyuan Family lobby. Further east are mountains and hills, which are not suitable for living or activities.

At the foot of the easternmost mountain there is a pond of moderate size. It was originally a place for recreation, but it was too remote and gradually no one took care of it. Year after year, moss grew on the surface of the water and a foul stench filled the air. No one goes there anymore, and no one knows if any monsters have been born there.
