Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 626 Three Kneels

With a casual wave of his hand, Yaro sent a soft leather cushion spinning out, landing lightly on the gravel ground in front of Bevin.

At the same time, the ground churned, and a patch of soft yellow soil emerged from the land in front of Bevin.

This is also a disguised application of the tripping technique.

Yaro said, "Kneel!"

Bevin knelt down.

Yaro said in a low voice, "Bevin, do you know that everything in the world grows according to its own way? Your kneeling today is not out of humiliation, but out of gratitude, reverence, and praise for life."

Bevin's attitude became even more solemn.

Yaro said again, "Kowtowing!"

Bevin kowtowed sincerely, his forehead touching the ground.

Yaro said, "This bow is to express my gratitude to Heaven and Earth for nurturing all things."

"Thank you for the sunshine, the rain, and the gentle breeze; thank you for the earth, the mountains and rivers, and all living things."

"Heaven and earth are selfless, nurturing all things. You should be grateful for their grace with a heart of reverence."

Bevin gently lifted his forehead from the yellow earth, his gaze fixed on the two characters 'Heaven' and 'Earth' carved in front of him. He felt those two characters grow even more solemn, settling into his heart and leaving a deep imprint.

Yaro's voice rang out again, like a morning bell and evening drum, echoing in Bevin's ears: "Kowtowing again!"

Bevan bent down again, his forehead touching the ground.

Yaro said, "This bow is to express my gratitude to the sages who have passed away."

"They cleared mountains and expanded the land, practicing slash-and-burn agriculture, and with their wisdom and sweat, they built today's civilization, so that you don't have to be born to compete with wild animals for food or fight for your life against nature..."

With his forehead touching the yellow earth, Bevin felt as if his soul resonated with the spirits of the ancients as Yaro's melodious voice sang.

He seemed to see the figures of the ancients fighting against wild beasts, cultivating the wilderness, and forging ahead through wind and rain.

He seemed to see the sages cultivating the land with their own hands, creating tools with their wisdom, and irrigating civilization with their sweat, so that future generations could live in peace.

A deep sense of respect welled up in Bevin's heart.

"Kneel three times!"

Yaro's voice rang out again, solemn and dignified.

Bevin kowtowed heavily.

Yaro continued, "This bow is to express my gratitude to our fellow human beings in the world."

"They may be your relatives, friends, teachers, and countless strangers."

"They walk hand in hand with you, share your joys and sorrows, and share your glory."

"From the distant frontiers, there are people you've never met, who struggle against nature, cultivating wastelands, taming wild beasts, and eradicating diseases. Every effort they make creates a safer environment for all of humanity..."

"Closer still, there are the soldiers and warriors of your country. They guard the borders, defend against foreign enemies, and resist invasion. Their sacrifices and dedication allow you to live in peace, untouched by the ravages of war..."

"Closer still are your relatives, friends, and neighbors. They live with you day and night, providing you with food and clothing, offering care, and keeping you from becoming homeless..."

……

Respect Heaven and Earth, respect our ancestors, and respect our fellow human beings.

This is not just an apprenticeship ceremony, but also a lesson!

Bevan seemed to witness the creation of the world, the clear Yang rising to become the sky and the turbid Yin sinking to become the earth; everything in the world transformed from chaos to clarity in his eyes.

For the first time, he understood with absolute clarity the meaning of 'heaven' within the Patching Heaven Sect.

They are relatives and friends, fellow countrymen, fellow human beings, all things, and everything in heaven and earth.

His gaze sharpened, his back straightened instinctively, and he seemed to have shed his childishness in an instant, suddenly becoming mature.

Bevin was absolutely certain that he would never forget this experience of becoming an apprentice.

He kowtowed with heartfelt admiration, his forehead striking the loess soil heavily, leaving a dent in the earth.

bump!

……

[Personal Task: Take on Apprentices (Completed)]

[Quest Reward: Skill Point +1]

[Remaining skill points: 2] ...

"The mission is already complete?"

Yaro looked at the two lively geese that had been prepared as sacrifices, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"The mission was completed before the geese were even killed, does that mean the completion of the mission is not directly related to death?"

This is the second time that Yaro has completed a system task.

From an experimental perspective, this conclusion is not rigorous.

After all, this is just an isolated case, and there may be other undiscovered conditions for achieving it.

However, given the current scarcity of missions, there are no conditions to support Yaro in conducting repeated experiments.

Yaro could only secretly memorize the process of completing this mission, and waved to Bevin, saying:

"The ceremony is complete, please rise."

"Yes, Master!"

Bevin stood up and clasped his hands in greeting. His brows revealed a youthful spirit, and although he was still a bit green, he already had a hint of the demeanor of a martial arts hero.

Yaro nodded slightly, then said:

"There are four realms of human beings: self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world. No matter how great your ambition is, the first step is to strengthen yourself. This strength includes both the ideological level and the physical strength."

I've said enough about the ideas, but no matter how much I say, it's not as good as seeing it for yourself and thinking about it for yourself. After all, seeing is believing.

But if you want to go out and see the world, or even change the world in the future, you need to have the ability to resist external risks, which is your own strength.

You are far from good enough in this respect.

Therefore, your main focus going forward should be on developing your dantian and quickly mastering the basics of internal martial arts.

Bevin needs time to train, and Yaro also hopes to take some time to think carefully about how to use the skill point he just acquired.

"Yes, Master, I will go to cultivate now."

Bevin clasped his hands in agreement and turned to walk towards the tent at the foot of the cliff.

Yaro turned back and said:

“Baron Claire, I’ll go wait outside and won’t disturb you as you continue to improve the ruins. However, I recommend that you first cultivate the ‘Heaven-Mending Technique’ and deeply understand the ‘True Meaning of Heaven-Mending’. Anyway, you are already a formal knight, so it shouldn’t take you long to start cultivating the ‘Heaven-Mending Technique’.”

"Mr. Yarrow, please wait a moment."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Claire stared at the two characters 'Heaven' and 'Earth' carved on the rock face, pondering:

"Mr. Yalu, you just said that there are four realms of human beings: self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world. So, which realm has the Old Man Who Mending the Sky reached?"

This……

Yaro recalled his description of the old man who mended the sky.

Self-cultivation... people are going crazy.

Qi Jia... died alone.

Governing the country...

……

Not knowing how to summarize for a moment, Yaro asked in return, "What do you think?"

"He must have reached the level of 'pacifying the world'."

Claire pondered:

"Just like Mr. Yaro, whose strength has reached a level that we can only look up to, yet he still studies and trains every day."

This also illustrates that self-cultivation has no limits and may even require lifelong practice.

As for "Qi Jia" (齐家), I don't think it simply refers to family harmony. Based on what you said when you made Bevin kneel for the third time, I think "Qi Jia" should refer to relatives, friends, and neighbors. More specifically, it refers to the first group of people you can influence.

For example, Mr. Yarrow, the first step in your "family management" process was to integrate Perrin Castle.

The next steps are governing the country and bringing peace to the world…

"Founding a school of martial arts, creating martial arts techniques, and spreading the way of martial arts—that is the Old Man Who Mending the Sky...and your governance of the country and peace of the world!"
