258: Dancing Spear 258: Dancing Spear The Yan people started this war.
It is not right for them to shout and beat the people of the Great Steppe and then suddenly cried foul when the Great Steppe people began to retaliate.
And since the Yan people never stopped their aggression, even creating a mountain of skulls compiled of the Great Steppe people when that Hu Qubing ride toward the Great Steppe, the Great Steppe people vowed that when there cos a ti where they could ride south, they would repay that massacre tenfold.
Dama spoke to them in a way Aeryon did not.
Aeryon thod seems benevolent.
But what these warriors wanted is not a benevolent leader but a leader who could avenge them As for the others, they decided to cast their lot with Aeryon.
Burchu is one of them.
Aeryon lack that sharp edges that Dama have.
But it is this kind of person that could endure and wait, that is capable of great things.
This is Burchu belief And now, he is here in front of the tent Aeryon welcod him warmly., holding his hand and escorting him inside the banquet tent.
The song is played, dancers dances the most beautiful and intoxicating dance.
If it was any other person, they would be intoxicated with this temptation of music and woman But while Burchu does appears to like the treatnt, he is not engrossed in it, nor doe she cross any lines.
Aeryon watches this with interest.
This is a test.
But also, a ti for him to observe what kind of person this Burchu is.
Regardless whether he attack the dancers, or whether he went wild hearing the music and losing all propriety Aeryon would still hire him.
Why then one might that Aeryon need to set up such a test?
He simply wanted to know what kind of person Burchu is.
And he got his answer in just that few monts.
Burchu could enjoy life but he also is not soone who could easily be tempted.
This is a man with a singular determination and Bruch evaluation in Aeryon mind increases The cooks bring a lot of at seasoned with all kinds of spices and all kinds of food is brought out.
There is wine, the Ayrag and even wine from the Central Plains.
The music ended, the dancers stopped dancing and they leave the tent.
And there is only Burchu, Aeryon and his guard in this open and large tent.
Aeryon and Burchu began to speak with each other, both of them is testing each other.
Aeryon spoke with this man and he could see that this man is a very ambitious man.
Burchu reminded him of so of the warriors that he t in other tribes.
Promising warriors.
Aeryon could not be happier that night.
Burchu was drinking and in his drunken stupor he ask “Could the Kan fight with ?” The atmosphere in the tent imdiately turns cold At this ti, all of Aeryon guard look at Burchu with ferocious eyes.
Aeryon on the other hand listening to this was shocked for a second before he laugh.
Since he beco a great chief of this tribe, since he conquers many tribes and having tens of thousands of warriors under him, nobody ever dare be so rude like that to him This is not a majesty he cultivated for himself.
It is cultivated naturally as he wins more and more battle.
Even the Elder that use to treat him like a child and treat him like family feel so awe for him Even his warriors would have that kind of awe towards him.
Aeryon laughed because he is shocked that soone still have such courage.
If he is in a bad mood, he could order the death of Burchu with a few words.
Burchu no atter how strong and how proficient he is with the spear, could he fight against ten thousand warriors?
He could not Even band of warriors that passes through Brolgadhr area would show him great respect and dare not slight him The guards in the tent could not help but wanting to raise their sword and punish this young man who does not know the heights of Heaven But Aeryon gesture with his hand to stop what they were doing.
Aeryon would not take such word seriously.
He could tell from the conversation he have with Burchu, that this young man is passionate and eager to prove himself.
Aeryon himself gave off the appearance of a welcoming and approachable person.
Aeryon adapted his approach according to people.
For people who he wanted to intimidate, he would co with different face and with different deanour.
For people he wanted to win over, he would be lowering himself sotis and for people who he wanted to be friends with, he would act friendly.
But he could tell that even though Burchu said it in his drunken stupor, he is serious about fighting him.
“This young man reminded very much of my sworn brother” Aeryon thought to himself.
Belarion also always wanted to fight him.
The stronger he beca, the more interested Belarion is in fighting him It is the first ti Aeryon saw how eager his sworn brother in wanting to fight.
And Aeryon realizes sothing.
That the reason why Belarion never ask him to fight before, is because the conclusion of victory could already be seen But when he fought against hundreds of n alone during the battle between him and the Xewa and Ghar tribe, Belarion now see him as soone who could fight him It must be boring for him in the past.
In the tribe, there is no one that could defeat him.
And because ethe tribe always treat him well, he also did not exhibit any tendency to go violent.
So, Belarion always ask him to fight him when he is free.
Aeryon also have trained against Belarion a few tis.
And he always lose in pure strength.
There was one ti that he fight against Belarion and won.
He relies on positioning and his speed.
But the most terrifying thing about his sworn brother is not that he has innate strength.
It is that he grows extrely fast.
The stronger the people that fight him, the faster he improves.
Aeryon is only worried that one day, when there is no one else that could give him any challenge, will he stagnate and decline?
Is this the fate of people who is born with innate strength?
Is this why they always wanted to fight against each other?
Only by fighting against more powerful people they could improve.
Or they die if they could not improve.
Aeryon sotis thinks that it is Belarion that got the cheat and not him.
Burchu reminded him of Belarion attitude so he is not that mad against him.
But he is also interested in Burchu spearmanship.
Aeryon did ask where he learn such spearmanship.
He learns it from his father who learns it from his grandfather who learns it from his father.
When Aeryon ask the origin of this thod of spearmanship, Burchu replied to him, he himself did not know But his father told him stories when he was young that the thod of the spearmanship ca from Yindu.
He also said that his great great grandfather stole this thod of spearmanship from the House of the Dead.
Burchu did not know whether this House of the Dead is the na of the place or a na of a sect or an organization or a code.
But it is from this place or organization that Burchu have such an impressive spearmanship.
Aeryon simply said that he would not mind fighting against Burchu.
In his drunken stupor, Burchu shows his spearmanship.
He took his spear , jump to the center of the open-air banquet and began performing his spearmanship In it Aeryon could see the exquisiteness of Burchu spearmanship.
The strength of a spear lies in directness When he uses the spear, it goes like an arrow that is being pulled back with all of power and cos back like a strong shot, each move is powerful and cutting the air easily.
When the spear is aid at him, even Aeryon could not help but feel like there is an aura pointing at him.
People with weak will would even flinch if there were to be subjected to this spear tip Stabbing of the spear, is like letting the arrow goes, but it return unseen When you weapon stabs, his weapon would drag it.
When your weapon does not move, his spear would shoot.
Only its head is seen and not its tail.
It is like a swimming dragon.
Burchu spear has that hint of stealth in its move.
It is direct but seem to integrate so kind of wisdom in his spear move.
“hidden below the deepest ground”, display that is as though “moving above the highest sky”, and alternating endlessly between the two states.
That is Aeryon feeling when looking at Burchu spear thod With hardness and softness changing into each other in this way, you will ultimately discover wisdom that had been hidden.
“Conceal and reveal, attacking swiftly, swimming like a dragon” >> CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Keikokumars please support my story if you can.
