Without waiting for his father to say anything more, Chen Zimo continued: "The night you were taken away, lightning flashed and thundered, and heavy rain poured down...... How old was I? During the day, I was so frightened by the wolf-like policemen that I was so scared that I wet the bed at night when I was alone guarding such a large yard and covering my head with a quilt in the house...... The next day it rained heavily, and in the evening there was lightning and thunder, and the rain was pouring down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I was really scared, so I braved the heavy rain with an umbrella, walked alone along the dark streets of the village, found my godfather's house, and begged him to give me a few talismans that can ward off evil spirits and scare ghosts, so that I would not be afraid at night, but I had no money to buy talismans at that time, and my godfather saw that I was pitiful, and he didn't care that I wanted money, and adopted me and taught me, so that I would not live alone in this empty big courtyard every day. Now, you call my godfather, an old god, an old man?! ”

"This ......" Chen Jin said embarrassedly: "Okay, I apologize to you, and I also apologize to Hu Si, who passed away." ”

"Go to sleep." Chen Zimo turned around and walked to the backyard.

Chen Jin said in the back: "Zimo, go to my house, it's burning the stove, it's warm." ”

"No, I sleep in the backyard at night." Chen Zimo said without looking back: "You remember, without my permission, no one, including you, is allowed to go to the backyard casually." In a few days, I'll lock the round door here. ”

Chen Jin sat by the campfire with a cigarette in his mouth, staring blankly at his son's thin back, and disappeared behind the round door.

"Bunny!"

Chen Jin lay down on his back, ignoring the coldness on the ground, smelling the cold air, and for a while he had a lot of thoughts, as if he had a long, long dream. When I woke up from a dream, the timid and cowardly son had grown up.

And he has hardly done anything for his son.

After a long time, Chen Jin turned over and got up, patted the dust on his body, and staggered to the bedroom, muttering drunkenly: "Lao Tzu is your father, I owe you slowly, but, you are a son, you still have to listen to me!" ”

The backyard door was closed.

The lights are not on.

The flames of the two candles planted in the candlestick are faint and still. The three sticks of incense in the small incense burner were about to burn out, and the fine smoke curled.

Chen Zimo sat cross-legged on the Taishi chair on the right side of the table, his eyes closed and seemed to be practicing, but in fact, his heart fluctuated. He originally wanted to use meditation techniques to get rid of distracting thoughts and practice seriously, but he had too many doubts in his heart, and he really didn't want to practice, hoping to understand more quickly, the origin of the "Tongxuan Sutra Volume I", and his father, who had excellent cultivation talent, why did his body suddenly burst out with pure and abundant essence before, connecting with the five elements of heaven and earth?

And before and after that short few seconds, nothing abnormal happened to my father.

Therefore, from the perspective of a warlock, the burst of a large number of primordial elements in those few seconds is clearly a spell. But Chen Zimo knew very well that his father did not cast spells, to be exact, he did not know spells at all, and did not believe in the existence of spells.

So, what is the reason for the large burst of essence that is as short as a spell?

Due to the moment when the essence burst out for a short time, Chen Zimo was extremely sensitive and quickly performed the spirit search technique and succeeded, so that he, who was born without atavistic essence, naturally thought that since the essence of his father's body could be used for his own spell like the aura emitted by a scroll, then as long as he was with his father in the future, as long as his father's body could slowly release the essence like a scroll......

Wouldn't you have more opportunities to perform spells?

This possibility is not impossible.

Previously, Chen Zimo was shocked by sensing the burst of abundant and pure essence, and hurriedly performed a spell to judge, and then was interrupted by his father, so he did not carefully probe whether his father's body was continuously releasing essence. And my father is an excellent cultivation genius that is rare in a hundred years, and has a natural sense of the natural five elements of heaven and earth, and his essence is extremely pure and abundant, so it is reasonable and almost inevitable to release it slowly at all times.

Thinking of this, Chen Zimo almost couldn't help but want to go to his father's side immediately, and use the spirit search technique to confirm whether his father's body was releasing the essence at any time.

He quickly meditated on the meditation technique, suppressing the urge.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years......

The scroll, which was bloodily fought over by many mysterious and powerful forces around the world, appeared at home and was discovered by him for some reason; The father, who has an excellent talent for cultivation, but has not practiced magic, has a short burst of abundant and pure essence, and is not a spell, why is it? What is the relationship between the scroll and the father?

The stars sink in the night.

It was the darkest time of the night before dawn, and the lights of every house and the light of the street lamps seemed so dim and faint.

Suddenly, the sound of crackling firecrackers exploded in the courtyard of someone's house, and then the whole village was awakened by the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers one after another, and the rich night seemed to be blown apart, and a few stars poked out their heads in the dark night sky.

In the countryside in the southern area of Yannan City, there is a custom of greeting the New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Chen Zimo, who was meditating cross-legged in the backyard hall, was awakened by the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers, he opened his eyes, silently recited mantras to collect his skills, got down from the Taishi chair, slowly stretched his muscles, opened the door and walked out.

The cold air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The lights in the front yard were bright, presumably because my father had gotten up at some point, or even turned on the bulbs in the houses where the lights were not broken, and the courtyard lights had not been turned off since the last night when they had been sent away.

Fortunately, my father didn't come to the backyard to turn on the lights on his own initiative.

Chen Zimo turned around and went back to the house, refilled candles and incense in front of his godfather's spiritual seat, and then went to the kitchen in the front yard.

The sound of firecrackers indicates that most people have begun to eat dumplings at home.

Chen Zimo is not in a hurry, because others need to kowtow to their own parents or brothers, and the elders in the neighborhood, and he ...... No, you don't. In these years, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he got up the latest, kowtowed to his godfather after eating dumplings, and then went to Hou Qiang's house, and he didn't go to other neighbors.

It's not that he's ignorant, it's that his godfather won't let him go. The people in the village said that Hu Si was an old and desperate household, so he was taboo about this.

The real reason is that Hu Si feels that he is at a loss - he is so old, and no one comes to pay New Year's greetings every year, so Chen Zimo, his godgrandson who depends on him for his life, can't kowtow to others to pay New Year's greetings.

When Chen Zimo came to the kitchen, he found that his father had just brought the cooked dumplings to the small wooden table, which were steaming.

"That's right, come over and eat......" Chen Jin greeted with a smile.

"Oh." Chen Zimo responded simply, did not rush to sit down and eat dumplings, took the firecracker that was placed on the windowsill and went out, lit it in the yard, crackled in just a few seconds, and the work was finished.

He went back to the house and sat down at the small wooden table, picked up the chopsticks he had prepared, and ate quietly.

The dumplings were delivered by someone else last night, and there were also soaked laba garlic and vinegar.

Chen Jin was about to sit down when he heard footsteps outside—he had gotten up early to open the street door, a tradition in the countryside, because it was necessary to open the door early to consider that people would come to pay New Year's greetings.

"Uncle Kaneko......"

"Uncle Chen!"

"I'm going to kowtow to you!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Brother Jin, welcome the new year......

……

Chen Zimo had dumplings in his mouth and an incredible expression on his face, watching his father walk out with a smile on his face to greet the people who came to greet the New Year.

It stands to reason that blankets or pieces of linen should be laid out in the main hall of the hall so that people who come to kowtow to the New Year can kneel down and not get their pants dirty. But because Chen Zimo occupied the entire backyard, Chen Jin could only use the outside of the bedroom where he was currently sleeping as a place to keep the New Year. In fact, the so-called kowtow to the New Year is not really kowtowing, but just symbolically kneeling - there is a saying in the countryside of Yannan City called "the knee during the New Year, it is worthless...... which has a joking meaning, and of course it is not entirely derogatory.

Affection, that's all.

But Chen Zimo has been silent all these years, where have I seen others come to the house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

This is only the first wave, and then, every once in a while, there will be a wave of people coming to pay New Year's greetings, more than ten, as few as three or two, there are younger generations, some are the same generation as Chen Jin, but younger than Chen Jin, and there are even husband and wife who come together.

Chen Zimo became more and more confused.

Why did my father get the respect of many villagers?

Until the light of day finally stopped villagers coming to pay New Year's greetings, Chen Zimo cleaned up the dishes sent last night in the kitchen to prepare for lunch. Although he had eaten dumplings since the fifth watch, he still couldn't help but drool. In the past few years with my godfather, except for being able to eat a big meal at someone else's house when I went out with my grandfather to do rituals, I haven't eaten at all at home, and I am reluctant to buy it to cook and eat.

Chen Jin walked in with a cigarette in his mouth, sat on the stool and smiled at his son working there, and said: "Don't be busy, follow my father for a while, go to the village for a while, there are a few old people who are still there, and you have to kowtow to people to pay New Year's greetings." ”

"I'm not going." Chen Zimo simply refused.

"How can I not go?" Chen Jin frowned, and said a little angrily: "Everyone else has come to our house to kowtow to your father, and you don't go to other people's elders to pay New Year's greetings, this is called rudeness, not like words!" ”

Chen Zimo snorted coldly: "That's when you came back, no one has kowtowed to my godfather for the past few years, why should I give them New Year's greetings?" ”

"Two different things......"

"Same!"

"How can that be the same?" Chen Jin couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted angrily: "When I wasn't at home back then, others looked down on him Hu Si, and it was human nature not to kowtow to him for the New Year, can you blame others?" Who let him be a god stick yin yang fairy without doing his job?! When I was at home before, I never gave him a New Year's greeting! ”

Chen Zimo stiffened his neck, looked at his father fearlessly, and said coldly: "You, it's you, I, it's me!" ”

"I'm your father!"

"Hu Si is my godfather! He's not a god! He's a true warlock, and he's so much stronger than you! ”

When these words blurted out, Chen Zimo immediately shut up, feeling worried.
