Chapter 16: Loneliness
In the early spring, Qingyang Town is full of vitality, and the scenery in the woods behind the Ye family in Qingyang Town is even more pleasant. The morning breeze blows, the flowers and plants shake, and the leaves rustle. The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on this mountain forest.
On a large bluestone standing in the forest, a young man in a pale blue shirt is facing the morning sun. The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, his facial features were very delicate, and his thick black hair was draped behind him and left and right at will. The dew on the tree glowed golden in the sunlight, and a drop of dew rolled down the leaves, dripping on the boy's forehead, down the center of his eyebrows and down the tip of his nose. However, the young man didn't seem to be aware of it, and he was still facing the morning sun.
I saw that as soon as he exhaled and inhaled, the vitality of the four directions of heaven and earth quickly gathered and continued to submerge into his body. If you look closely, you can find that the pores on the surface of the young man's body are all open, and those heaven and earth vitality qi turn into wisps from the pores into his body, and then quickly flow to the dantian. The faster the speed of absorbing the Heaven and Earth Vitality, the faster the accumulation of true power, the shorter the time you can have enough True Power to impact the meridians in your body and improve your cultivation realm.
As the young man's cultivation time became longer and longer, his face gradually turned pale, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead and temples, and his whole person was trembling. The young man clenched his teeth, and the sharp pain in the dantian made his facial features a little distorted, but he didn't give up, and he was still spitting in the morning sun. About two hours later, it was already three poles of the sun, and the boy was almost about to collapse. From an hour later, the pain in the dantian was unbearable, since that night four years ago, every time he cultivated, it was simply a kind of torture, as if he was suffering from capital punishment!
After resting for a long time, the young man slowly opened his eyes, the sweat had already dried, and his face was no longer pale. His eyes were extremely clear and full of aura, he looked down at his dantian and sighed secretly: "It's been four years, and you still won't let me go." Four years ago, you absorbed all the true power of the sevenfold of my Pulse Realm, turning me from a genius to a waste that everyone ridiculed overnight. In the past four years, I have endured the severe pain brought to me by your absorption of true power, and I have been cultivating frantically every day against the rising sun, hoping that one day I will be able to feed you, but you are like an endless abyss, trapping my world and making me unable to see the light. ”
"Sometimes I really want to cut open the dantian and dig you out to see what it is! Why is there such a strange thing as you in my dantian, is it possible that my Ye Chen will stop at the starting point of the martial arts road because of your existence in this life?" Ye Chen muttered to himself, although his tone was flat, but a pair of fists were slowly clenched, his clear eyes were full of unyielding and tenacious, and the green tendons on his forehead also beat faintly. He didn't believe it, he was even more unwilling, and he was unwilling to be a waste person who was ridiculed because of the strange things in the dantian!
Ye Chen is the lineage of the Ye family in Qingyang Town, under the jurisdiction of the Yunxiao Kingdom, his grandfather is the head of the family, and his father is the heir of the head of the family. And the Ye family is one of the two major families in Qingyang Town, and it can be regarded as a big overlord in this small Qingyang Town. Thinking back to before the age of twelve, how eye-catching he was at that time, with a shrouded aura, everyone praised him as a genius who had not been seen in a hundred years. At that time, Ye Chen's cultivation speed could be called demonic, and no one in Qingyang Town's generation could compare with him, and at the age of twelve, he broke through the seventh positive vein in one fell swoop, and had the cultivation of the Seven Heavens of the Tongmai Realm.
However, Ye Chen's path was not smooth, at the age of twelve, he had just reached the seventh level of the Tongmai Realm, and something strange suddenly happened in the dantian, absorbing the true power of his years of cultivation overnight. Ye Chen's cultivation fell to the lowest state in one fell swoop, and now he is not a martial artist who is the first in the Pulse Realm, and he is indeed a waste person in this world that advocates force. And since then, every time he cultivated, he would have a knife-like twist because of the mysterious thing in the dantian absorbing the true power, and this matter gave Ye Chen too much blow. The people of Qingyang Town are not less talking and ridiculing behind their backs, and even some relatives in the family are gloating, often sneering and sarcastic, thorny in their words, and even provoking and bullying many times.
Ye Chen deeply understands that this world is like this - the strong are respected, and having strong strength is the king. Even if you are a relative of the same family, they may not be able to help you when you are frustrated, and some will fall into the ground. Over the years, Ye Chen had never given up, he was not a person who easily accepted his fate, and every day he would endure severe pain and cultivate frantically in the early morning when the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was the most pure! However, the thing in the dantian that looked like an inner pill was like a bottomless pit, and it couldn't be filled no matter what.
"I don't believe you can cut off my martial arts path! I can't feed you in four years, so I will wait for ten years! One day, I, Ye Chen, will regain my past glory!" Ye Chen's hand grabbed on a piece of gravel, and the sound of the gravel was actually crushed by him. Ye Chen's eyes were full of tenacity and unyielding, he clapped his hands and jumped down from the bluestone, and walked home along the way down the mountain. The place where Ye Chen lived was the abandoned courtyard of the Ye family, and the facilities here were dilapidated and shabby, an abandoned courtyard. Several houses in the courtyard are in disrepair and unattended, and they leak every rainy day. Fortunately, the room he lived in had dilapidated windows, which could not block the wind, but could still provide protection from the rain.
As for his treatment in the family, Ye Chen has also been used to it over the years. In the final analysis, it was because of his strength, if he was still the genius he was at the beginning, would the people in the family treat him like this, would they still let himself live in this abandoned and dilapidated courtyard? Pushing open the somewhat decayed door, Ye Chen walked in, went to the simple bed, and looked at the ceiling silently, thinking in his mind, how to find some elixir to fill the things in the dantian.
Just as he was thinking, hurried footsteps sounded in the courtyard. Ye Chen frowned, this dilapidated courtyard was usually not set foot by anyone except his lovely sister Ye Xin'er and cousin Ye Ming. Hearing the hurried footsteps of the people at this moment, it was clear that there was something urgent Ye Chen turned over from the bed, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw that his cousin Ye Ming's distant cousin Chen Er had already rushed to the front, and the two almost collided together. Ye Chen was about to ask, only to see Chen Er raise his head and squint at him, and said with a smile: "Yo, isn't this the genius of the Ye family? Why didn't you stay in bed today, your body is weak, and the wind blows you away." ”
"Chen Er, what is the matter with you coming to me, tell me. Ye Chen said lightly, not wanting to have a verbal dispute with him. It's not the first time that Chen Er has ridiculed like this, it's just that Ye Chen understands that his strength is far inferior to Chen Er, and if he makes a move, he will still suffer. Therefore, this ugly face is deeply remembered in his mind, and he will definitely return it in the future, so that he will grovel before himself as he did many years ago. "Hey, of course I'm here for something, otherwise you think I'm okay and I'll run to this yard that has been abandoned for many years to smell musty?" Chen Er pouted, with a sharp monkey cheek on his face, and he looked like a villain. Squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Chen a few times, then he hugged his arms, tilted his head slightly, and said, "You just want to know today......?" If you want to know, beg me, hahaha!"
Listening to Chen Er's words and looking at his villainous posture, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he had the urge to slap him. However, Ye Chen didn't really do it, he knew that he couldn't be Chen Er's opponent at all, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart at the moment, and said: "If you don't say it for sure, then leave my shabby place quickly, but when the time comes, what will be the consequences of the elders to blame, you know it yourself!"
"Hey, if you are self-aware, the head of the family asked you to go to the family hall. Chen Er said with a sneer. When the words fell, he spat fiercely, and said, "Bah! a piece of waste, you want me to inform you, what a thing?" Chen Er left, and his figure gradually disappeared into the courtyard. Ye Chen stood quietly at the door of the house, he knew what Chen Er's previous self-knowledge meant. Over the years, Chen Er has provoked three times and four times, the purpose of which is to force himself to act, and he can take the opportunity to teach himself a lesson.
After all, Chen Er's status in the Ye family was very low, and even if Ye Chen was not valued by the family now, he would not dare to take the initiative. Ye Chen understood Chen Er's thoughts, so naturally he would not be stupid enough to fall for him. "Grandpa asked me to go to the family hall, it seems that something big must have happened, otherwise how could I, a long-forgotten person, be remembered by him. Ye Chen whispered to himself, and then walked quickly towards the family hall. Out of the courtyard, after passing through a few corridors, Ye Chen came to the middle courtyard, and happened to meet his cousin Ye Ming who came out of the room and Chen Er, who looked like a servant behind him.
Ye Chen knew that Ye Ming would make things difficult for him, almost every time he encountered it without elders. Therefore, he walked forward quickly, not wanting to clash with it at this time. However, Ye Ming refused to let Ye Chen go. As soon as he saw Ye Chen walking in a hurry, his eyes immediately lit up, and then a sneer appeared, and he stopped in front of him. "Huh...... Isn't this the genius of our Ye family?" Ye Ming smiled, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Brother Chen, where are you going?" Ye Chen didn't want to pay attention to him, turned sideways, and was about to leave. Ye Ming's face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Stop! Didn't you hear your cousin talking to you?" As a disciple of the Ye family, do you still have any rules, can you respect your brother?"
Ye Chen was still about to leave, but at this time, Chen Er, who was beside Ye Ming, dodged in front of him, blocking his way. "What the hell do you want? Is it still the same trick as before?" Ye Chen said lightly, looking at Ye Ming head-on, without the slightest fear.
"Tut-tut......" Ye Ming sneered, and said: "It's this kind of look, cousin, I like your fearless eyes, so that when my fist falls on you, I will have pleasure, ah...... Hahahaha!"
