Chapter 4: The World
A few days later, a feeling of hunger came from Chen Xin's abdomen, he opened his eyes weakly, touched the ancient bed of the golden silk jade quilt under him, looked at the ancient wood carved with dragons and phoenixes above, and faintly exuded a faint fragrance, he sat up and thought for a moment in his mind, "Where is this?" He only remembered that before he passed out, he saw the picture of Chen Dong.
"Hey! This wood is so familiar," Chen Xin's mind unconsciously appeared a picture, remembering that when Chen Xi took himself to work in the county seat of a landlord Wang's family, the head of the Wang family had a treasure "wood carved Buddha statue". The Buddha statue is half a meter high, the head of the Wang family has to look at it five times a day, wipe it three times, and take it out to show off when someone meets, as if it is a golden silk nanmu or something.
Chen Xin looked carefully, the big bed under him was not the golden silk nanmu, and then looked at this one-hall and two-room room, the furnishings of the whole room were simple and atmospheric, and each furnishing was worth a lot of money.
Chen Xin exhaled, stunned for a moment, pinched his cheeks, grinned in pain, and finally determined that he was not dreaming, it seems that his road to recognizing his relatives has been successful, suppressing the hunger in his abdomen, he got out of bed, eager to find Chen Dong, at this moment, there is something more important than eating, that is, the word "cultivation" that grandpa said when he left, could it be that there is really a legend in this world, cultivating into immortals, immortal and immortal!
As soon as he walked to the living room, he found Chen Dong's figure, at this moment Chen Dong had his back to him, holding the jade pendant brought by Chen Xi in his hand, his face was full of mourning, seeing Chen Xin coming, Chen Dong put away his expression, put on a kind attitude, and asked Chen Xin coldly: "Chen Xin, are you hungry, there is some porridge here, you eat something first, what do you want to ask when you are full, grandpa will tell you." ”
At this time, Chen Dong was no longer the majestic and powerful ninth-layer martial artist, but a kind old man, and the shrewdness in his eyes turned into warmth.
Chen Xin found out that the round table in the living room was already full of porridge and side dishes, Chen Xin, who had not eaten for three months, swallowed his saliva and gobbled up the food on the table.
After a while, a pot of porridge and six dishes were swept away by him, and the young man's perennial sallow complexion also had a hint of ruddy, Chen Dong looked at Chen Xin with relief, poured Chen Xin a cup of tea, and said recallingly: "You and your father really look exactly the same...... Big brother, after decades, you finally figured it out, but it's a pity that ...... Hey!"
Chen Xin looked at Chen Dong with a questioning face, and didn't bother him, he was silent for a long time, Chen Dong seemed to have figured out something, and continued to say what he didn't finish: "The eldest brother's name is Chen Xi, my name is Chen Dong, your grandfather is a fortune teller, our brothers are twins, your grandfather came out before me, after birth, your grandfather made a fortune for the two of us, saying that our brothers will eventually die because of a woman, one to the east and the other to the west."
That's why we named the words East and West. My brother and I knew about it as long as we could remember, but it didn't affect our feelings until your grandmother appeared."
"Chen Xin, do you know, heaven and earth are formed by the vitality, all things are formed by the heaven and the earth, the heaven and the earth, the birth of the vitality, the ancestor of all things, that is to say, the vitality is the origin of the world, everything in the heaven and earth is composed of the vitality, and our ancestors are the yuan.
He created everything in the world, created vitality, created human beings, and human beings created methods that can absorb vitality, break the limits of the body, increase their lifespan by a thousand years, and jump out of the six realms of reincarnation, which is cultivation!"
"Cultivators, you can soar through the clouds and fog, and you can live forever, go to the heavens and the earth, move mountains and seas, and your grandmother ...... Just a monk. ”
Chen Xin didn't know how to answer, his eyes widened in surprise for a while, and the tea in his mouth flowed down the corner of his mouth to his chest.
The cultivation realm includes qi training, foundation building, and metamorphosis realm. Each phase has ten layers, and each layer has three stages, the early stage, the late stage, and the consummation."
"And I, I am a monk at the ninth level of the Qi cultivation period, your grandmother is a foundation building monk, Chen Xin, don't underestimate the Qi cultivation and foundation building realm, you must know that cultivation is the mystery of seizing heaven and earth, invading the sun and the moon, the second grandfather is now eighty years old, but there are still forty years of life, if you can successfully build the foundation by chance, the life span will increase to two hundred years.
"Your grandmother was a side disciple of the Xiuzhen family, because of the experience of going out, unfortunately was seriously injured, and later by chance, was rescued by our two brothers, but unfortunately your grandfather died early, in addition to the fact that our brothers are both rural villagers, where do you know the difference between monks and ordinary people, when I saw your grandmother's outstanding temperament, I knew that she was not an ordinary person.
Although she had no external injuries, she was unconscious, only when she was too tired to cause a coma, until she woke up, everything was too late, she injured the foundation, her cultivation was destroyed, and there was no treatment during the coma, resulting in life damage, she was like ashes, and she didn't want to return to the family, she was depressed, at that time, our brothers took turns to take care of her, and slowly fell in love with your grandmother."
"Because of your grandmother, our two brothers finally had a disagreement, your grandmother finally chose your grandfather, the atmosphere in my heart, left a book and ran away, until more than ten years later I embarked on the road of cultivation and became a monk in the Qi refining period, when I returned to Mao'er Village, your grandmother had passed away, leaving your father and your grandfather, I was going to take your father and your grandfather together, but the eldest brother died to save face, at that time, the last words he said to me turned out to be: " You go, never come back, there have never been monks in Mao'er Village, and I still live well even if I don't cultivate. ”
It is also because of this sentence that I have never been back to Mao'er Village, and I have been away for decades, but now it is a matter of things and people, hey, I am to blame for my stinky temper." Chen Xin also listened to the helplessness in his heart, the resentment and hatred of the elder generation is not something he can comment, and because his grandmother let the two brothers die and do not get along, although Chen Dong said it lightly, but Chen Xin knew that the second grandfather and grandfather were deeply in love with their grandmother, and the past is gone.
The two were silent for a while, and Chen Xin said: "Second grandfather, grandpa left a last word before he died, it should be that he wanted me to take the road of cultivation," Chen Dong nodded: "When I saw this jade pendant, I understood, this jade pendant was originally your grandmother's, before I left, your grandmother had already noticed it, and wanted to give it to me, let me take this jade pendant to the Xu family in Luohu City, in exchange for a disciple quota, I refused at the time, and finally came to the place where your grandmother lived, and by chance took refuge in the Li family in Luohu City."
