Chapter 3: Returning Home
Zheng Kong's father, Zheng You, successfully broke through the realm of the Four Mountains at the age of forty, and can be regarded as a powerful figure of the Zheng family. In the matter of the three major families of Ice Heart City winning the pill, Zheng You was out of the limelight and laid a good foundation for the Zheng family. But somehow, his son likes to be fierce and fierce, lustful and greedy for money, and has offended many people in the clan.
This also led to the fact that although Zheng Kong's status in the clan was not low, he was not approached by the rest of the clan!
Zheng Kong's fiasco can be said to have made many people shout with refreshment, and at the same time, the eyes they looked at Zheng Yu also changed, from the original disgust and indifference to blazing and surprised......
"Zheng Zheng, pass on my message, let the husband and wife return to the clan!" The patriarch waved his sleeve robe at Zheng Zheng, and when Zheng Zheng took the order to go out, he signaled to Zheng Fang to come to his study.
Not long after, Zheng Fang was taken by the patriarch to a spacious study, the main window of the study is facing east, and all kinds of books are displayed on the shelves.
"Sit down. The patriarch stretched out his right hand, and a chair hidden under the table was sucked out and slid in front of Zheng Fang. Zheng Fang was naturally not too polite, and when he saw the patriarch sitting on the edge of the bed, he also sat down.
"I asked you a few questions, and you answered me honestly. The patriarch looked at Zheng Fang quietly, Zheng Fang listened to this sentence, his face changed a little subtly, and his heart suddenly set off a storm......
"Could it be that the secret of the One Hundred and Eight Yan Qigong has been discovered? Impossible! This exercise only exists in my mind! No matter how sharp-eyed a person is, it is impossible for him to see the slightest clue! What exactly does he want to ask?"
"If the patriarch has any questions, just ask, the younger generation knows, and he must say everything!"
"Okay, have you ever met a worldly master?" asked the patriarch without any disguise, brushing his beard, which was not much on his chin.
"The younger generation has not been out of Ice Heart City in the past ten years, but I met an old gentleman not long ago, and because he had a good chat with me, he gave me a quenching pill, I was injured by Zheng Kong a week ago, and it was because of this quenching pill that I recovered quickly. Zheng Fang just casually made up a reason to prevaricate the past.
"To tell you the truth, my great-grandson Zheng Hui is eleven years old this year, but he has not been able to absorb the vitality for a long time. I once touched your bones, and at that time I could see that your qualifications were not as good as your father's, but they were by no means ordinary! Today, I touched your bones again, but I found that your bones are completely different from those you did when you were a child! It can be said that your achievements in the future will not be below me!"
"But what I don't understand is why your bone quality changes, as you said, if it is really the credit of the so-called Quenching Pill, then ...... Is the old gentleman still there?"
After hearing this, the turbulent waves in Zheng Fang's heart calmed down, and he hurriedly replied: "The old gentleman is in a hurry, he has already left Bingxin City half a month ago, as for where to go, he didn't say, and the juniors naturally didn't dare to ask more." ”
The patriarch sighed, he was not the kind of person who didn't know what was going on, and then stood up and walked out of the window, holding the bottom of the window with both hands, looking at the great-grandson who was playing with a few friends outside, he couldn't help but feel a sour heart, the old eyes blurred for a while, and he endured his low mood, and the patriarch only said a very heavy word to Zheng Fang:
"In the future, you will inherit the patriarch, as long as your strength surpasses that of me now!"
Zheng Fang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, like a boulder stirring up a thousand waves. He wondered, why did the patriarch have this idea? Is it because he has the best future in the clan? What about the patriarch's sons and grandsons? They are not always unqualified, right?
At this moment, there were several brisk knocks outside the door, and it turned out that Zheng Zheng had brought Zheng Jiliao and his wife here.
"Patriarch, the two of them have already been brought, but the head of the Hong family has something to see you and wants to ask you to Baihetan for a while. ”
"Okay, let's go. The patriarch snorted sharply, rubbed his eyes and blinked vigorously, coughed twice and walked out, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say to Zheng Fang, "Live well, I've wronged you all these years!"
Looking at the back of the old man leaving, Zheng Fang's good impression of him increased sharply, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him......
The family of three finally got together, and the husband and wife learned of Zheng Fang's victory from Zheng Zheng's mouth, and from the road to the study, their faces were always filled with indelible joy and pride.
The family almost said in unison, "Old place!" and then happily walked to their former home.
They didn't take much with them on their trip, and soon returned to the humble house.
Ten years ago, Zheng Jiliao was still in the clan, and he had delicious food at home. During the holidays, those relatives who are not too closely related by blood will always send different gifts, until the day of his accident, the family was left out in the cold and abandoned, and no one has entered this house for ten years.
When the three of them came to their home after a long absence of ten years, their hearts were always sunny.
Yu Xiyue pushed open the old door, made a creaking and sharp sound, and a handful of dust fell on her head, patting her dusty head and clothes, and suddenly raised a gray mist for a while. Zheng Yu sensibly sprinkled water on the ground to prevent the dust in the house from drifting again. And Zheng Jiliao went out to buy wine and meat with a few bits and pieces of silver, ready to celebrate today's big event.
The old house was empty of nothing but dust, a peculiar smell, and a few tables that were almost rotting into hollows, but it was only early in the morning, and the sun was shining, and it was no big problem to clean it simply, and the mother and son cleaned it with laughter.
It was already noon, Zheng Fang sat cross-legged on the roof and meditated, now his strength has reached the strength of the four hundred stages of the Xuan level, as long as he reaches the seven thousand two hundred stages, he can reach the force level, and the force level needs three thousand six hundred stages to break through to the realm of the two mountains.
Ordinary people have to work ten times and a hundred times more hard to cultivate this ten thousand and eight hundred levels of vitality, even if Zheng Kong cultivates for a few more years than Zheng Fang, he will only be more than one thousand and three hundred stages of the Xuan level. The reason why Zheng Yu was able to defeat Zheng Kong was more because of his combat experience, not to mention that he couldn't show too much strength, otherwise it would completely arouse the suspicion of the elders and patriarchs, so he hid his strength.
"Eight hundred pieces of vitality can be derived in one day, and if you continue at this pace, you will be able to enter the power level in another ten days and half a month, as long as you have enough strength, you will be able to cultivate the exercises and martial arts you once had. Zheng Fang thought about the most glorious moment in the past, and couldn't help but feel a burst of blood boiling in his body, but he really couldn't wait to reach the third realm!
But just as Zheng Fang was recalling all the things in his previous life, his mother said in a puzzled voice: "Flail, your father's alcohol addiction shouldn't be committed again, right? It's almost afternoon, why haven't people come yet?"
Zheng Yu immediately stood up from his meditative state, his expression frozen.
"Impossible! My father promised me to quit drinking in the future, how could I drink it myself halfway? Something must have gone wrong! I'll go and see, mother, you stay here and wait for my news!" With that, Zheng Yu jumped off the roof and rushed away towards the outside of the clan with a few loud sounds.
Every time Zheng Yu landed, he could raise air fluctuations, and he took the next step without even touching the ground on his toes, and the speed was definitely faster than any cultivator in the late stage of the First Heavy Mountain Force Level.
The bazaar is eight or nine kilometers away from the Zheng people, and if you usually use it, you can walk it in less than an hour, but judging from the speed of Zheng Fang, the distance of eight or nine kilometers is just the time of a meal.
Coming to the bazaar, Zheng Yu gasped slightly and looked around, he understood that his father's current strength could not even beat the most ordinary cultivator, let alone the person who had been offended in the past.
Think about it carefully, most of the people who have offended Zheng Jiliao are people from the Hong family and the Sima family, don't look at Zheng Jiliao's self-abandonment in the past ten years, but more than ten years ago, he was really a hero, helping poor families everywhere and rescuing the bullied portal, which is why the people in Bingxin City support the Zheng family more, most of them buy Zheng Jiliao's orders.
"Those who can offend are the Hong family and the Sima family, what does that mean? If there is really a misfortune, the people who make trouble must be cultivators above the second mountain. "Judging from Zheng Fang's current strength, although it is possible to kill a cultivator of the Double Mountain with all his strength, I am afraid that he will not have an advantage in numbers, and he will encounter a cultivator of the Triple Mountain.
"Eh, Uncle Zhang, have you ever seen my father?" Zheng Yu grabbed Uncle Zhang, who was passing by to pick up dung, and opened his mouth to ask.
"It's Xiao Zheng, your father is in the Golden Gate Hall behind the vegetable market, hurry up, it seems that he is about to fight with others!"
Ten years of life in the city have made a family of three get acquainted with most of the people in the town, with a wide range of contacts and relatively well-informed.
Golden Gate Hall, a gambling house opened by the Sima family, made most of the families in Bingxin City ruined, and the women could only blame their own masters for being obsessed.
The entrance of the Golden Gate Hall was crowded with people, and Zheng Yu finally squeezed in to find that there was a pot of porridge in the hall! Seeing that his father was surrounded by seven or eight strong men, his face and shoulders were full of bruises.
Seeing that the situation had changed, the rest of the people all pounced on him, and Zheng Flails pushed his father away, and his vitality turned around his body, and six muffled bangs came out one after another, and the crowd was thrown out like water attached to their hands!
Zheng Flails helped his father up, and when he saw his embarrassed appearance, he was worried, and his face was even more cloudy, and then he looked at the big men around him, one by one, lying on the ground for a long time and unable to recover.
Seeing something flying from the door curtain, Zheng Fang reacted very quickly, and a soft body dodged it, and caught the flying object with his hand, and at first glance, it was just an empty bowl......
"What people!"
