Chapter 435: A Dream and a Life

Spring goes to winter, and a year passes quietly.

Qin Chen's life is not rich, but it is not too bad, but there is one thing that makes him not quite understand, his mother's words, for some reason, are becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Until one day, Qin Chen came back from playing outside, hugged his forehead, kissed him dotingly, and said, "Chen'er, listen to your father." ”

After speaking, he left directly, no matter how Qin Chen cried, he couldn't stay, and even he vowed to cultivate hard, but he only got a word of peace.

"Daddy, why is my mother leaving?" Qin Chen's eyes were red and swollen, and he asked puzzled.

"It is the father who is not able to protect your mother and son. Qin Qingyu, who was originally standing up to the sky, seemed to become extremely powerless for a moment.

Since then, the life of a happy family of three has become extraordinarily single, Qin Qingyu can't say a word all day, but he actually looks at the sky, not knowing what to think about anymore.

Qin Chen, who had nothing to do, had to often go to the girl next door to play, until three years later, one evening, Qin Qingyu looked at the sky and said softly: "Chen'er, your mother is in trouble, and your father is going to help her get through it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qin Chen's reaction, he had already left.

Qin Chen only felt that the whole sky fell in an instant, and he cried and begged his father not to leave, but this hysterical voice could only echo in the empty forest, without the slightest response.

Until the figure, a middle-aged man, carrying a lantern, came to the forest and reported back Qin Chen, who was already asleep.

This person is the father of the girl next door.

Since then, Qin Chen's life has been spent next door, but every evening he will look blankly at the sky, hoping that his father can come back.

That's 10 years.

Qin Chen has now entered his youth, and under the influence of the father of the girl next door, he has also begun to make a living by striking iron, although life is hard, but it is also very fast.

But the strange thing is that this kind middle-aged neighbor, although he taught Qin Chen the technique of iron-making, did not accept him as an apprentice.

The girl next door mentioned this several times, but the middle-aged man shook her head and smiled: "The time has not yet come." ”

waited for another three years, and Qin Chen and the girl had reached the age of talking about marriage.

They were happy with each other and became husband and wife, and the middle-aged man also handed over the blacksmith shop to them to take care of.

Qin Chen is loyal and righteous, and has won the trust of many villagers, and the business of the blacksmith shop is becoming more and more prosperous.

Originally, they had the opportunity to go to the county town to buy more blacksmith shops, but Qin Chen was bent on waiting for his father to return, so he didn't leave.

Day after day, thirty years of spring, autumn and summer, the former middle-aged people have become old Mai, Qin Chen is also over fifty years old, the blacksmith shop has the opportunity to pass on the next generation, but the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and the girl who was pregnant in October is gone.

Today's Qin Chen, the technology of striking iron is still there, but the strength of striking iron no longer exists, and the business of the blacksmith shop has begun to become depressed.

In the end, no one cared for it at all.

It didn't take long for the girl's father to get old.

In front of the grave, Qin Chen bought a pot of wine with the little silver taels left, looked at the sky with his eyes interfering, and poured a sip of spicy wine with little strength.

One day, two days, three days.

Qin Chen silently guarded in front of the grave, and the wine was long gone.

But he didn't know where to go, and now he only had the only obsession left in his heart, waiting for his father.

Qin Chen got up and staggered back to the blacksmith shop, at this time, he already knew that he had little time left, and he used the skills taught by the girl's father to create a peerless sword.

As soon as this sword was forged, it had a piercing edge and shone brightly.

Qin Chen held this sword, his eyes looked at the sky, and in his mind, the scene of his father and mother leaving, he regretted that he had not been able to cultivate well at the beginning, but now he can only live a dull life.

"Mother, are you really right to let me be safe?" The sword in Qin Chen's hand was getting sharper and sharper, but his strength and even life were not much left.

With the last of his strength, he stuck this sword on the ground in front of him, hoping that if his father returned, he would be able to see his determination.

After doing all this, Qin Chen's eyes slowly closed.

Just as he was about to wait for the last moment of death, a sigh suddenly sounded from the side.

"Hey, you're not to my liking. ”

As soon as this voice came out, the surrounding scenery shattered like a dream.

In Qin Chen's mind, there were countless dusty memories, and the tide came like a tide, and almost at the same time, he heard Xu Liang's words.

"How?"

Qin Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked around a little blankly, for a few seconds before he reacted.

However, the previous life was deeply imprinted in his heart.

Immediately, Qin Chen slowly shook his head and said, "I wasn't taken seriously. ”

Xu Liang couldn't help but look incredulous, and said: "In the entire Dangu lineage, you have been in the dream for the longest time, and the vast majority of the rest of the people have already woken up." ”

Qin Chen looked around and really found that everyone had woken up, and couldn't help frowning secretly.

Xu Liang said again: "This dream, the memory of our reality, has been sealed for the vast majority, and it will follow the guidance of the ancient style master, which is not as good as a new life, but some people, just in the juvenile stage, have already broken away from the guidance of the ancient style master, and they will wake up directly, and if it is a very small number of people, they can follow the ancient style path for the rest of their lives, then it will be regarded as success." ”

Qin Chen thought about it slightly, but shook his head with a wry smile, in his life in the dream realm, at the last moment, if it was a forged thing, it was the thing taught by the middle-aged man, it would be recognized by the ancient wind master, but he chose a different path.

"There are also two tests, as long as one of them meets the requirements of the ancient style master, you can successfully apprentice. Xu Liang cheered Qin Chen up, but in fact, he was the least confident.

The apprentices accepted by the ancient wind master before, eight people, seven of them, all of them were accepted as apprentices because of his will, only one was in the second level, according to his character, as for the fate, so far, there has never been one.

In other words, the hope of wanting to learn from Gu Feng in the future is very slim.

Han Changqing, who was above the stands, looked at Qin Chen for the first time, and saw that the latter was frowning, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a cold arc.

And Qi Lao on the side, also frowned, his eyes paused on Qin Chen, and sighed helplessly, he originally thought that Qin Chen still had hope to become his little junior brother, but it seemed that there was not much possibility.

Immediately, his voice spread throughout the audience again, and said: "Everyone, the first level of the test is over, and after a stick of incense, the second level of the test will be carried out." ”
