Chapter 4: The Mysterious Old Man
Chen Xiao looked at the old man who came out from behind the stone, and saw that the old man was poorly dressed, but he was unusually neat. The beard is gray and flutters in the air. A pair of slightly sunken eyes seem to have a sea of stars in them, which is deep and abnormal, and has the image of a master.
"Why am I here?" Chen Xiao looked at the old man and asked, he was obviously outside the gate of Chenfu, and when he woke up again, he was in a place that he was completely unknown.
The old man looked at Chen Xiao's worried look, and felt strange in his heart, thinking that Lao Tzu had just saved your kid, and your kid actually came to guard against Lao Tzu in a blink of an eye. But the next moment he felt funny and said, "Haha, boy, don't worry, I am the one who saved you, not the one who harmed you." If I wanted to kill you, how could I talk so much nonsense with you here, and it would be effortless to want to kill you. The old man saved you twice, and it can even be said that he is your regeneration benefactor. As for who you asked the old man was, the old man's name, Ning Ze! But no one dared to call me that for a long time. ”
"My predecessor saved me twice? Chen Xiao asked puzzled.
The old man recalled that when he first saw Chenxiao, he was still a baby in swaddling clothes, lying in a basket and down the river and was found by himself. But I can't take him with me, because what I'm going to do is dangerous. had to bring Chen Xiao to Chenfu and hand it over to Chen Nan to raise him. And now when we say goodbye, this kid is already so old, and he is still handsome and extraordinary. The old man couldn't help but sigh, it was really a cultivation without years!
Looking at Chen Xiao's face, the old man seemed to remember something. He asked, "Did your father Chennan tell you about your origin?"
"My father never told me about it, but I heard people in the clan say that I was born to my father and a cheap maid outside, and I was born low. I've never heard of my mother, maybe people don't want to mention it. But I often heard them insult my mother like that, and I categorically couldn't tolerate it. But every time I reasoned with them, I ended up being beaten all over my body, which is also to blame for my lack of ability and talent, and I couldn't even defend my mother's dignity. Chen Xiao hung his head and said, not only has he been coldly bullied over the years, but even his mother, who has never met before, has also been insulted. All men are equal, why does there have to be any distinction between high and low, Chen Xiao doesn't understand.
Of course, this is not the case with your origins, but what you have experienced is not a bad thing, and people are more able to grow in the quality of their state of mind in the face of adversity. After going through so much, I think that your state of mind is already very incomparable, and this is the blessing and misfortune that depend on each other. The old man stroked his beard and said.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up and asked, "My predecessor said that he was my reborn benefactor, and he also knew my origin, so didn't he recognize my mother?" When I asked about my father, my father only told me that my mother was dead, and as for the specifics, he never said anything to himself. Chen Xiao liked to chase and ask when he was a child, but if he asked too much, his father would get angry, and then he was silent, and every time his father was red, his eyes were red. As he grew up, Chen Xiao also understood that he was afraid that his father would have a reason not to say it, so he also learned not to ask about it anymore.
"I probably know your mother!" said the old man.
Chen Xiao immediately asked, "Senior, how do you say this, what is the purpose?" as if he had seen the dawn.
"Now you, your strength is low, it's better not to know too early. When the time comes, I'll tell you the answer, just remember that your current identity is not your real identity, but although I have some guesses about your real identity, I can't tell you for the time being. Again, I'll talk about it when the time comes. ”
Chen Xiao heard the meaning of the words and asked, "So, is my father just my adoptive father now?"
The old man seemed to go back to fifteen years ago, and said slowly: "That's right, it was the old man who entrusted you to him in the first place. And he was once favored by the old man, and he has no children under his knees, so he treats you as his own. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiao was shocked, thinking that he must ask his father to confirm the matter when he went back to find time.
At this time, the old man seemed to remember something again, and suddenly said, "Boy, gather the aura in your body on your palm, let me see." ”
Chen Xiao was puzzled, but he immediately did what the old man said, gathering the aura in the meridians on the palm of his hand. The spiritual realm opens up a sea of qi and can store spiritual energy. The Body Refining Realm can only store a small amount of aura in the meridians. Chen Xiao gathered the aura on the palm of his hand, and saw that the next moment his palm flashed with a light blue light, making a zizizi sound.
"Sure enough, it's the thunder and lightning attribute! The monks of heaven and earth rely on absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate, and their affinity for various attributes is different. But usually there will be no such difference in affinity in the physical realm, and it is often not until you open up the sea of qi that you will know what kind of attribute you have a stronger affinity for the aura. And in the realm of physical training, there is an attribute aura, which only shows that the affinity for this attribute has reached an indescribable height. Such a person will have a great, great advantage in his cultivation in the future, and there will not be many such people in the world. And you, maybe it's your bloodline that gives you this talent. And the thunder and lightning attribute has a strong attack power, and it is known as the king of the attributes, which is not a lie!" the old man said, thinking that since he was the orphan of that adult, it should indeed be the thunder and lightning attribute.
Chen Xiao couldn't believe it for a while, and muttered: "It's so powerful, is this really me?
"The more powerful the bloodline, the more aura is absorbed in the early stage of awakening, and when the children of the big families and big sects awaken the bloodline at an early age, they usually take all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures to replenish the aura, and it becomes easier to awaken the bloodline. And if you don't have such conditions, you can only absorb the aura of heaven and earth by yourself, which is why you have not broken through the first level of the refining realm. ”
"Then why is it that I only need to awaken the bloodline to break through, and the others don't need to?" Chen Xiao asked.
The old man simply rolled his eyes at this time, people desperately envied what they wanted, and this kid even complained and disliked it. So he reprimanded: "You kid be content, there is no one in the world who has the power of the bloodline." Moreover, the owners of the bloodline are mostly concentrated in the big families and large sects, and there are very few. There is still no one in the entire Daqian Empire who has bloodline, and if you speak like this, if you are heard by others, you will probably be angry. ”
