Chapter 3 10-day period
In the early morning, Jinniu Town was noisy early.
The state pastoral government has allocated enough money and grain to allow the people of Jinniu Town to survive until the autumn harvest of the second year, and now for the people of Jinniu Town, the biggest thing is to build the houses properly before the arrival of winter, so that there will be no shelter from the cold at that time.
In the morning light, you can see people busy carrying building materials, running back and forth on the muddy road that has not yet been paved with stone slabs.
In the Xue Mansion, after breakfast, the more than sixty children stood up straight in the courtyard with great interest, looking in the direction of the inner room, all looking eager.
It wasn't until more than ten days later, Wei Lai, Sun Daren and others walked out of the back room, and these children's eyes lit up, and they were about to surround them.
Sun Daren's eyes were wide at that time, and the children who were excited had personally experienced the days when Young Master Sun was rampant in Wupan City, and one by one they reined in their interest and retreated, but they still couldn't stop looking at Wei Lai's gaze.
Wei Lai, who has been a fool for six years, rarely experienced such a thing, and he was somewhat embarrassed. When he walked up to the front and back of the people, he coughed and asked, "Do you know what you are looking for?"
A group of children shook their heads in unison.
"Hmm. Wei Lai pondered for a while, as if looking for a suitable word, but the eyes of these children were too hot, and Wei Lai was inexplicably a little nervous.
"Well, in this case, which of you has tempered the physical body or practiced the academy exercises?" Wei Lai decided to take a different approach.
As before, a group of people shook their heads in unison again - this was probably expected, after all, whether it was the various medicinal materials and utensils needed to cultivate the physical body or the exercises of the academy, they were all very valuable, and there were very few students or apprentices in the Wupan City Academy and the martial arts hall, and it was normal for these sixty-odd children to not have these "lucky ones".
"Then do you want to practice?" Wei Lai asked again.
In fact, this is a question that is not a problem, who doesn't want to become a human being, and who doesn't want to have the power of heaven and earth. It's just that although the cultivation is only a few words, the talent and money required are not something that ordinary people can imagine.
Therefore, when those children heard this question, their eyes lit up, but then they dimmed - their family background was not good in the past, and they didn't dare to expect this at all, and now that they have lost their parents and family, how can they be qualified to think about things that they couldn't think of before?
"You. Wei Lai probably knew what these children were thinking, he squatted down on the stone steps, and pointed to a boy standing in front of him, he was also quite old in the crowd, estimated to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, and his body was thin.
"Huh?" He obviously didn't expect to be "handpicked" by Wei Lai, and was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Wei Lai with some uncertainty and trepidation.
"What's your name. Wei Lai asked.
The boy responded, looking somewhat instinctively uneasy: "Li Xu." ”
"Do you want to practice?" Wei Lai asked again.
"I ......" Li Xu hesitated a little, and looked at Wei Lai cautiously, as if he was carefully speculating about Wei Lai's meaning with his own sensitive mind that was not deeply involved in the world.
But after all, he is young, how can he see the reason, he has been struggling for a long time, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, the young man's heart dictates, so he simply gritted his teeth and said: "I want to!"
A smile appeared on Wei Lai's face at that time, and he looked to the side again and asked, "What about you?"
The children were still a little hesitant, but soon an eleven or twelve-year-old girl pulled a seven or eight-year-old boy and gritted her teeth, walked out of the crowd, stared at Wei Lai and said, "Brother Alai, we want to too." ”
The girl and the boy Wei Lai knew each other, the girl's name was Qian Qian, the boy's name was Qian Yue, they were the children of the cell boss Qian Xugui, their mother experienced that danger, died in shock and grief, and the two sisters and brothers also became orphans and were adopted by Xue Xinghu.
When the rest of the children saw that someone was taking the lead, they showed their intention one by one, and in the next ten or so moments, they actually rushed forward to express their desire to practice.
Wei Lai stood up with a smile, his eyes swept over the bodies of those children one by one, and said, "If you want to say it, you have to fight for it." ”
"The world is very noisy, but no one will wait quietly for you to hesitate. ”
Wei Lai's words were somewhat profound for these children, and the children were stunned and puzzled.
Wei Lai immediately stood up and said, "This is the first truth I want to give to you before practicing. ”
"The spiritual meeting is a very hard and boring thing, if you have determination, you have to do it, and if you do it, you have to work hard. ”
Most of the children were quite smart, and when they heard this, they also understood what Wei Lai meant, and their eyes suddenly became eager, and their faces were full of joy.
"The second truth. Wei Lai said again, and some noisy crowds were quiet for a moment, and they all stared at Wei Lai with wide eyes. "You, no, we are actually all the same, with the river god of the Wupan River, and some eagles and dogs in the imperial court. ”
Saying that, Wei Lai paused here and looked at the Qian family sister and brother: "I know that for most of the people present, cultivation is not only an upward ladder, but also a bargaining chip for revenge. ”
Wei Lai's eyes were like torches, and he saw that the Qian family sisters and brothers were flustered, so they lowered their heads at that time.
The children present obviously had such thoughts to a greater or lesser extent, and after hearing this, they seemed to have been debunked by someone, and their expressions were slightly flustered.
"There is no need to be ashamed. The hatred of killing parents and the hatred of dying in the homeland are not shared, and those who can forget are the real villains. Wei Lai said again, and the children looked up again and looked at Wei Lai with complicated expressions.
"But I don't want you to live in hatred forever, and neither do I. ”
"Sooner or later, we will find the snake, find the eagle dog that is the culprit, and ...... them one by one" Wei Lai was silent again, he remembered what the former Yin God had told him in the temple of Guanshan Lance that day, and then continued: "But before that, we all need to walk a long way, it is rugged and winding, sometimes we are confused, we cannot see the direction, and sometimes it even makes us despair. ”
"But I want you to remember how those who sacrificed themselves to keep us alive want us to live. ”
"Forever...... Never lose your way. ”
......
This topic is too heavy for most children, especially about their dead parents, and Xue Xinghu has always avoided mentioning them in front of them, but Wei Lai thinks that it is always more useful to face the past than to pretend to forget.
The children didn't understand Wei Lai's words very well, and most of their faces showed confusion and confusion at that time.
Of course, Wei Lai also knew that it was impossible for these children to fully understand the meaning of his words at this time, but he had to plant this seed. He smiled slightly, put away the intention of continuing on these heavy topics, and his tone became relaxed: "Okay, the great truth is over, let's start practicing." Hearing this, the children immediately put away their previous doubts, and their eyes lit up again.
Cultivation is a mysterious and sacred thing for them, and they are naturally full of anticipation for the door of the new world that will open before them.
Wei Lai glanced sideways at Sun Daren who was thoughtful, he knew that everything he said was also applicable to Sun Daren, although these days, this guy seems to have regained his big grinning temperament, but Wei Lai understands that Sun Bojin's death has planted the seeds of hatred deep in Sun Daren's heart. He has seen Sun Daren practicing desperately in a place where no one is there more than once, but hatred can certainly make people strong, but blindly plunging into it, it will also lose his mind, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Wei Lai couldn't accurately measure the balance between hatred and survival, after all, he himself was in that kind of hatred, he stretched out his hand and patted Sun Daren's shoulder gently, and Sun Daren, who was stunned, looked back at Wei Lai suspiciously.
Wei Lai smiled and said, "I'll leave it to you next." ”
"Huh?" Sun Daren was stunned for a moment, looking confused.
"Teach them your Guanyun Martial Pavilion's most signature body refining and blood condensation technique. Wei Lai said.
Sun Daren's heart was a little inexplicable, not that the method was profound, but this blood condensation and refining body, although talent and diligence are important, but the medicinal materials and appliances are equally essential, just like himself, his father in order to let him condense five divine blood at the age of sixteen, the silver taels spent on buying drugs before and after are as huge as a thousand taels, without these things, just cultivating this method, without three or five years, I am afraid it will be difficult to condense a divine blood.
He thought that Wei Lai should understand this, but it can be seen that Wei Lai's posture at this moment did not seem to be thinking about where to get the resources needed for so many children's cultivation. If this is the case, allowing these children to practice this Dharma is no different from misleading people's children.
Thinking of this, Sun Daren wanted to remind Wei Lai, but it can be seen that Wei Lai's expression is calm, but he still doesn't want to save his face in front of so many people, so he simply temporarily restrained his thoughts, walked in front of many children and began to show his body refining and blood condensation methods in the Guanyun Martial Arts Pavilion one by one.
Most of the children were very surprised, and they looked at Sun Daren intently, trying to write down every detail of the method.
......
Wei Lai stepped aside, looked at the people in front of him, and was silent.
Xue Xinghu, who didn't know when he had arrived, walked to his side, looking at the group of children who were trying to follow Sun Daren's punches and legs, his expression was a little solemn.
"I understand your good intentions, in this world, only cultivation can break through the shackles and become a master, but we are poor and remote and can't support so many children's ......," Xue Xinghu said in a deep voice.
After that, Xue Xinghu looked at Wei Lai, but the young man was not in a hurry for the man to respond, but continued to look straight at those children.
Xue Xinghu secretly thought that his words embarrassed Wei Lai, and he continued: "I said, you have done enough for the Golden Bull, there is no need to worry about these things, what should they do in the future, I ......"
"Ten days. But at this moment, Wei Lai's voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh?" Xue Xinghu, who was interrupted, frowned and stared at Wei Lai in confusion.
The young man turned his head at that time, looked at Xue Xinghu, and said with a smile.
"Ten days later, I will leave Taurus Town with Qingyan. ”
"At that time, there will be sixty-four more martial artists from the Wuyang Realm in Jinniu Town. ”
