Chapter 40: Five Years Later
The breeze in the garden blew through the flowers that bloomed in early spring, blew the tips of Zhao Qin'er's hair, and brushed the chessboard on the stone table, Zhao Qin'er suddenly heard Chen Ziyao ask about Jiang Chen's body when the formation was sealed, although his face was calm and natural, but his heart was like being struck by lightning, and he was thinking about responding to Chen Ziyao's question, and heard Chen Ziyao say: "The trick point in Chen'er's body was sealed by the trick array, and there was no omission, but the place connecting the Chengling acupoint seemed to be a little loose......" Before Chen Ziyao finished speaking, Zhao Qin'er asked in surprise: "How is it possible?" Chen Ziyao said flatly: "Don't panic first, I have also studied the talisman a little, and I have re-strengthened that place, don't worry! I am curious why you blocked Chen'er's whole body spiritual aperture, and didn't want him to practice?"
Zhao Qin'er lowered her head and was silent for a moment and said, "Teacher, you are one of my closest people, but this matter is really dangerous, I really don't dare to implicate you, don't ask." ”
Chen Ziyao smiled and said: "Your teacher and I are so old, I haven't seen anything, I haven't encountered any danger, and I will be afraid of trouble." The more you don't say it, the more upset my heart will become, so you can say it! If you have something to say, let's figure it out together. ”
Zhao Qin'er heard Chen Ziyao say this, and she hesitated, not knowing whether to explain Jiang Chen's life experience to the teacher. Then he put the white zi he had been holding in his hand on the chessboard and asked Chen Ziyao, "Teacher, what kind of existence do you think the Heavenly Apocalypse Hall is?"
Chen Ziyao was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he picked up a sunspot from the chess box and put it on the chessboard before saying: "There are good and evil in the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace, there are moths, there are also true cultivators, there are priests who truly pray for the blessing of living beings in the world, and there are also those who exploit the wealth and greed of believers. The Heavenly Apocalypse Hall is not a sacred place, but only the foundation of Di Hao's existence in the human world, and it is also the spiritual sustenance of the fanatical sect. Why did you suddenly ask about the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace? Is it because Jiang Chen's life experience involves the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace?"
Zhao Qin'er still didn't answer Chen Ziyao's question, and asked Chen Ziyao again: "Teacher, do you know what kind of existence the Anti-Heaven Alliance is?" Chen Ziyao seemed to have expected Zhao Qin'er to ask this question, and said directly: "The Anti-Heaven Alliance, I don't know how long it has existed, there are rumors that there has been such a group of people since ancient times, but I don't know much about this force, and I haven't been in contact with these people, but in the records of the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace, the Anti-Heaven Alliance has been mentioned. Seeing that Zhao Qin'er listened carefully, Chen Ziyao paused and said: According to records, those people were all abandoned by Di Hao and fell into the Nine Netherworld Prisons forever. It is recorded in the hand-me-down books of the Heavenly Apocalypse Hall that those people are all demons, who will bring disasters to the mainland, and they are all evil people, and the Holy Guard Palace of the Heavenly Apocalypse Hall is specially set up to investigate these people. However, I think that this so-called anti-heaven alliance can make the Heavenly Apocalypse Hall treat it so solemnly, and I think these people should all be high-level cultivators. ”
"Teacher, what would you do if you found a member of the Anti-Heaven Alliance?" Zhao Qin'er then asked, Chen Ziyao smiled and said: "What can I do, first see if these people really have three heads and six arms as recorded in the book, and then see if he is really doing evil, eating people without spitting out bones." Suddenly, Chen Ziyao came to Zhao Qin'er's side and asked in a low voice, "Is Chen'er's father a member of the Anti-Heaven Alliance?" ”
Zhao Qin'er looked at Chen Ziyao's smiling face close at hand, and was asking her mysteriously, Zhao Qin'er hurriedly said: "How is it possible, teacher, you really dare to think about it, I believe you have also heard about the abyss! Just because he hid a person in the Anti-Heaven Alliance, the entire Mo clan was wiped out." Teacher, this is no joke. ”
Chen Ziyao said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, the teacher has carried it for you, it's just a Heavenly Apocalypse Palace, and the old man has long been unable to see their faces, and he has always had a lofty face, as if the world owes them something." ”
Zhao Qin'er hurriedly persuaded: "Teacher, if you speak in a low voice, it will bring disaster if you are heard." Chen Ziyao smiled, looked around and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things, let's continue to play chess, and let the teacher study whether your chess skills have also improved." Chen Ziyao no longer asked Jiang Chen's life experience, as if he had already received an answer, and played chess seriously with Zhao Qin'er.
Zhao Qin'er was also happy and relaxed, and didn't mention it anymore, she still had some gains today, knowing that a person like a teacher who cultivated would not be like those fanatical believers in the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace, shouting and killing when he heard the anti-heavens.
After a while, Yue Shutong, who had gone and returned, also came back, and seeing that Zhao Qin'er and Chen Ziyao were killing on the chessboard, he also came up, sat on the stone bench close to Zhao Qin'er, observed for a while and said, "Qin'er, your Uncle Yue came to help you kill your teacher without leaving a piece of armor." "The gazebo in the garden is even more lively. It wasn't until Chen Ziyao lost his chess and admitted defeat that he angrily reprimanded: "Old Yue is stubborn, have you forgotten the ancient admonition that 'watching chess and not saying a word is a true gentleman'?"
Yue Shutong laughed and said, "I haven't forgotten! But as long as I can win a game against you, the old man is willing to be a villain." Chen Ziyao was speechless by Yue Shutong's words, and was even more angry, Zhao Qin'er on the side hurriedly persuaded the two elders to quarrel about to break out and said: "Today, I will personally cook a few dishes for the two of you, and you are not allowed to quarrel again! You two play chess first, and I will call you two after you are done." As he spoke, he got up and moved out of the way, and when he left, he told the two old children again not to quarrel again.
After staying in Yue's Mansion until the evening, Zhao Qin'er and Jiang Chen set off for the city and headed towards Fengluo Villa. In the evening, Yue Shutong made some simple explanations, and the next morning, Yue Shutong didn't bring anything, and came directly to Fengluo Villa, since then Jiang Chen finally came into contact with many strange things on the Dihao Continent, as well as the secret history and ancient gods that have been passed down for a long time.
The years are like a spring rain, moisturizing things silently changing everything in the world, one year old and one withering, between the changes of yin and yang at four o'clock, time has come to the 37.1 billion years of the Dihao Continent in such a silent way, and the seventeenth year of the Yuanxing of the Zhao Xin family.
Five years have passed in a flash, and the boys and girls who were once boys and girls have grown into boys and girls, only the stubborn stones that have not changed for 10,000 years still stand between the mountains and rivers, let the wind and rain blow, and have not changed a bit. And Zhao Xin's country also fought with Xia five years ago, Jin and Jin signed a contract, the two sides made a compromise and concession to each other, and officially set up a border market, mutual exchange, no longer a small range of trade, driving the Feng'an City to be more lively, there are two countries of businessmen are settled in Zhao Xin's country for a long time, although the three countries are calm and peaceful on the surface, but the dark is still turbulent, a trick is not as good as this giant ship carrying hundreds of millions of people will be drowned in the stormy waves, and Zhao Lingyun as the helmsman of this giant ship, is more cautious to improve their own layout.
Located in the western suburbs of Feng'an City, Fengluo Villa is still as quiet and comfortable as five years ago, a well-proportioned figure, handsome face, wearing a light gray arrow suit, is holding a bronze giant tripod, in the courtyard set up a black rope made of iron wire spirit snake molting and weaving on the smooth back and forth, the speed is not affected by the giant tripod at all, like a breeze, it is Jiang Chen, who is already close to the height of an adult. There was a man and a woman standing outside the field cheering for the teenager in the field, the girl was wearing a red gilt arrow suit, her hair was combed into a simple ponytail, her face was delicate, and the young man next to her who was fat and strong, wearing a simple blue and black arrow suit, cheered for Jiang Chen who was training in the field, it was Jiang Chen's childhood playmates Yue Wujing and Wei Chide.
Yue Wujing whispered to Wei Chi De next to him, "Ade, you said that Ah Chen can't hold on to a stick of incense, can I give him the Martial Cultivation Rock Realm training method that my father gave me when he went to patrol the border?"
Wei Chide twisted his big head and said: "Of course not, when Uncle Yue left, he was told by a thousand times, if Ah Chen can't hold a 10,000-jin giant tripod under the gravity space of the twentieth layer and hold on to a stick of incense, and complete the training arranged by Uncle Yue, he will hand over the training exercises of the Rock Realm to him, which will harm him." And Uncle Yue also asked me to supervise the two of you, otherwise I will be punished alone. ”
Yue Wujing glanced at Wei Chi De with disdain and said, "Why are you so cowardly, no wonder you are still on the seventh layer of the Naling Realm." Wei Chide was instantly unhappy when he was despised, and retorted: "Can you blame me for this? It was my father who made me have to lay a solid foundation that made me cultivate so slowly. Besides, Uncle Yue also said that if he handed over the Rock Realm training method to Jiang Chen early, he would be in danger, Xue'er, you don't want Jiang Chen to have an accident, right?"
Yue Wujing nodded helplessly and said, "If you don't give it, you won't give it!" I hope Ah Chen can persevere, you see that the long incense pillar has already burned half of it, and Ah Chen hasn't sweated yet! ”
After the two finished speaking, they continued to cheer for Jiang Chen, and at this time, an old man in a white robe walked in from the moon gate, looking at Jiang Chen, who was completing his training in the field, and couldn't help but sigh, Yue Shutong, who had already taught Jiang Chen five years of scripture classics. When he came to Fengluo Villa, he saw that Jiang Chen had also embarked on the road of martial arts, and discussed with Zhao Qin'er, wanting Jiang Chen to stop training, but Jiang Chen, who had always been obedient to Zhao Qin'er, refused to give in to this matter, and the mother and son had a cold war for a long time, and finally Zhao Qin'er, who was a mother, compromised, and Jiang Chen continued to train in martial arts.
Yue Shutong saw Jiang Chen walking on a thin rope, holding the 10,000-pound giant tripod as if walking on the ground, as fast as the wind, and couldn't help but nodded, in the past five years, he has watched Jiang Chen grow up little by little, how fortunate it is, he knows it clearly, and at the same time, he has to take care of learning the classics, but this child doesn't feel hard at all, and he still enjoys it.
looked at his granddaughter and the big fat boy on the side, who were cheering for Jiang Chen, shook his head, and saw that Jiang Chen would not have an accident, so he didn't bother them, turned around and walked out of the courtyard and returned to the study to read and drink tea alone.
As for Zhao Qin'er and Xiangming, the two of them have already gone into the city to go shopping with Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan, who sent Yue Wujing and Wei Chi De, and I heard that there is an auction in Wanbao Pavilion today, and a few people took the invitation letter that Wanbao Pavilion gave to Yue Qianming and Wei Chi Zhongming to see the excitement, leaving the old man Yue who didn't want to join in the excitement to take care of a few children.
The time of half a pillar of incense passed quietly, and Yue Shutong, who was drinking tea and reading a book in the study, suddenly heard a loud noise, followed by the cheers of the three children, Yue Shutong touched his beard and a smile appeared on his face, knowing that Jiang Chen had successfully completed the body refining task assigned by his son. Thinking of Jiang Chen's smart aura when he was studying, he couldn't help but feel sorry for this child, how could such a good child be born with no sense of spirituality!
Yue Shutong, who was thinking about this, suddenly heard the sound of several children cheering and running from far and near, and after a while, there was a knock on the door, and I don't know what these children are looking for themselves, so they said casually: "Come in." The three children pushed the door in, pushing each other and letting each other speak.
Yue Shu said with a straight face: "What is the matter with you?" In the end, Yue Wujing said: "Grandpa, a few of us want to go into the city to celebrate Ah Chen's entry into the Rock Realm, and I hope you will allow it." ”
Yue Shutong pretended to think about it for a moment with a straight face, and after the bluffing Yue Wujing coquettishly told him that he reluctantly agreed to the three of them, and told them not to pick quarrels and provoke trouble after entering the city, otherwise they would be punished when they came back, and the three of them agreed. Out of the study, several people beckoned the servants to get ready for the car, and the group of three also went into the city.
