300 mutilated souls
Chu Qiao returned to the Chu family's villa in a daze, and heard the laughter of relatives in the family from a distance.
It's so warm.
Chu Qiao took a few steps and walked in the direction of the door. No wonder, some would say, that home is a haven from the wind. Hearing the laughter of his family, Chu Qiao felt the strength in his body and came back.
"I'm back." Chu Qiao pushed open the door, and everyone looked over in unison, although Chu Qiao was smiling, they all noticed a touch of embarrassment between Chu Qiao's eyebrows.
"Hungry? Eat some more. Qiao Qiao's mother's voice was very soft, and she beckoned to Chu Qiao, "Jiu Bi said that you didn't eat much in the store, come and taste the soup cooked by your mother, they all said that the soup cooked by your mother is paired with roast duck, which is just right!" ”
Chu Qiao nodded with a reluctant smile, walked over, and took the small bowl in her mother's hand, the green vegetable soup in it made her heart a little depressed, and it was instantly refreshed.
After drinking two sips of green vegetable soup, as soon as Chu Qiao put down the bowl, Chu Yuntian said, "Qiao Qiao, come to my study." ”
Chu Qiao nodded and smiled bitterly, he really can't hide anything from his grandfather's eyes!
Walking into the study, as soon as Chu Qiao sat down, Chu Yuntian asked, "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?" Isn't going well today? ”
Chu Qiao sighed, nodded and said, "Yes...... Grandfather...... This really stumped me......"
Then, Chu Qiao told Chu Yuntian what happened today.
"Grandpa, I originally thought that it would be no difficult to extradite the undead and eliminate evil spirits, and the psychic only needs to raise his hand to cut off those evil things and save many people...... Now I realize that many things can't be solved with no mana! Chu Qiao sighed, "I really don't know how to face Qiuyue's parents, you didn't see their eyes...... I really felt that under those eyes, I couldn't have made any decisions. ”
Chu Yuntian nodded, "Qiaoqiao, you can think like this, grandpa is very pleased, you have grown up." ”
"Grandpa...... I-" Chu Qiao originally thought that his grandfather would severely criticize him for being too impatient and rash in handling things, but he didn't expect that his grandfather would praise him.
"Not every psychic has compassion. From ancient times to the present, there is no shortage of psychics with high magic power, they just regard subduing evil spirits as a way and tool to sharpen themselves, and they don't care about the pain of others, so they can only be psychics all their lives, and they can't become great psychics. Chu Yuntian's eyes contained appreciation for Chu Qiao, "Only people who really have great love in their hearts will feel guilty and blame themselves for not being able to help others." Qiaoqiao, originally you didn't have to blame yourself like this, you have already done what you should do, and even, you have done more and better than others, but you are sad because you can't fulfill the wishes of Qiuyue's parents, this is grandpa's good granddaughter, this is the real psychic! ”
"Grandpa...... I really want to help Qiuyue's parents. When Chu Qiao heard Chu Yuntian's words, she felt that somewhere in her heart was touched, it turned out that her grandfather knew her heart, her eyes were hot, and her tone was a little choked, "I thought I could do it......"
"Grandpa knows." Chu Yuntian nodded, "Things are not as bad as you think, even if Qiu Yue becomes a charm, she still has a chance to make up for her lost soul, it just needs to take a little more effort, don't be so depressed." ”
"Really?" Chu Qiao stood up, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, "Grandpa, I'm not afraid of hard work, I want to figure this matter out thoroughly." ”
"Okay." Chu Yuntian nodded and said, "Now I don't know what Qiu Yue's charm is missing, this is only for you to find by yourself, I can remind you that what she has lost may be what she originally had, such as kindness, honesty, and integrity...... Find out for yourself. ”
"These?" Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.
"yes, that's it." Chu Yuntian looked at Chu Qiaodao, sighed and said, "These beautiful things, after they are gradually lost, will become charms that cannot be seen, heard, or spoken." I can't see it because she doesn't have a pair of eyes that can see the real thing. She couldn't hear it because she wouldn't listen to the truth. I can't say it because she doesn't tell the truth anymore. ”
"Original...... That's how the charm is formed. Chu Qiao said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then many people will become charms after death?" ”
"It's not like that." Chu Yuntian shook his head and said, "Souls that normally leave the body can get a chance to look back on their lives at the moment of death, and in a single thought, they will either repent, or remember, or redeem...... They will be able to regain what they have lost, leave this world with their whole selves, and naturally they will not become charms. But some people are very unlucky and don't have such an opportunity, so they can only leave this world with their crippled self, and that is the charm. ”
"Akizuki's soul left her body at the moment of fright, right?" Chu Qiao suddenly realized, "Later, her body was occupied by Danli's soul again, and she couldn't go back, so she became a charm, not even a wandering spirit!" ”
"That's how it should be." Chu Yuntian muttered, "Qiao Qiao, since you have decided to help Qiu Yue, try your best to help, maybe the final result is that she is not worthy of you to help her like this, but by doing so, your heart will be at ease." ”
Chu Qiao nodded fiercely, feeling the stone pressing on his heart, and went to most of it.
"Grandpa, I see."
"Haha...... Good boy, your understanding is much better than your father's! Chu Yuntian was even more relieved in his heart, the more he looked at Chu Qiao, the more satisfied he became, having such a granddaughter was really the best gift God gave him!
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door of the study, Chu Qiao got up and went to open the door, only to see Qiao Qiao's mother standing outside the door, and said to Chu Yuntian in embarrassment, "Dad, the eldest brother and sister-in-law said that they want to talk to you alone." ”
Chu Qiao turned his head to look at Chu Yuntian, "Grandpa, if you don't want to see them, let them go back." ”
Chu Yuntian waved his hand, "They have been waiting patiently for so many days, I'm afraid they can't wait any longer, let's listen to what they say." ”
Qiaoqiao's mother nodded and turned to go.
After a while, Chu Tianyu and Wen Lan appeared at the door of the study with smiles, and when they saw Chu Qiao sitting inside, Chu Tianyu said with some displeasure, "Qiaoqiao, your aunt and I want to talk to grandpa alone, you go out first." ”
As soon as Chu Qiao stood up, Chu Yuntian stopped her with his eyes, "Qiaoqiao, you don't have to go, you have to learn to be in charge." ”
Chu Tianyu's face suddenly looked a little unsightly, and the smile on his face also froze in an instant, looking at Chu Qiao very embarrassed.
"Tianyu, even if Mingyu is here, I have to say this." Chu Yuntian said, "You should know what the ghost pupil means to the Chu family, Qiao Qiao will definitely take over the Chu family in the future, so, if you have something to say, just say it in front of Qiao Qiao, and let Qiao Qiao listen to it." ”
Chu Tianyu didn't dare to disobey, so he had to say respectfully, "Yes, father." ”
Wen Lan's face was even more ugly, but in front of Chu Yuntian, she didn't dare to show it, she just kept glancing at Chu Qiao with her eyes, and Chu Qiao didn't see it.
"Father, the Xuanmen Dabi period is approaching, I don't know what your plans are, father?" Chu Tianyu sat down, and then asked.
Chu Yuntian pondered for a moment, "This Xuanmen competition, our Chu family will definitely participate, my old man naturally wants to participate on behalf of the Chu family, Mingyu also wants to participate, since your family is back and wants to contribute to the Chu family, then, you and Wen Lan will also participate in the competition." ”
Chu Tianyu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Chu Qiao, and opened his mouth to say, "Father, isn't Qiao Qiao's body still recovering?" The first test of the Xuanmen Dabi, who will go? ”
Chu Qiao knew that the first test edge in Chu Tianyu's mouth was referring to one of the big ratios in the Xuanmen Great Competition.
This Xuanmen Dabi is a continuation of the four major family Dabi. However, in the original competition of the four major families, only the top four families in the Xuanmen were involved, and later the four major families gradually withered, forming the entire Xuanmen competition.
The competition is divided into "first appearance", "only self-oriented" and "self-respecting".
The first appearance is naturally a field prepared for young people in the Xuanmen Sect, and many young juniors are making their debut in the Xuanmen Competition and becoming dazzling new stars.
And the self-only vertical and horizontal is naturally prepared for the major powerhouses in the Xuanmen, and being able to stand out in the self-only vertical and horizontal is not the mainstay of the major families.
The last self-esteem is for those who have become famous in the Xuanmen, and Chu Yuntian, as the head of the Chu family, is naturally self-respecting.
And Chu Tianyu and Wen Lan are afraid that they will participate in the self-only with Chu Mingyu.
However, Chu Tianyu and his family are not concerned about their own competition, but who will represent the Chu family in the competition. In the final analysis, the talent of the two of them is not good, and going to participate in the competition is just a matter of the situation, and it is impossible to win the championship. But Chu Cen still hopes to really show himself in the first appearance.
Chu Yuntian heard Chu Tianyu's question, his eyes became a little deep, Chu Tianyu was stared at by his father and felt a little furious, but his waist was slammed by his wife, and then he continued to bite the bullet and said, "Father, since Qiao Qiao's body has not recovered, it is not good for her body to barely play." Our Chu family can't do without young people to participate, so let Cen Cen go and contribute to the Chu family! Father, what do you think? Cen Cen is also the granddaughter of the Chu family, and she also has the blood of the Chu family in her body, so it is also appropriate to contribute to the Chu family. ”
Chu Yuntian asked lightly, "Are you sure that Cen Cen will not disgrace the Chu family when he plays?" ”
Chu Tianyu was stunned, he didn't expect his father to make this clear.
The current Chu Cen will naturally embarrass the Chu family, the Xuanmen Dabi is a grand event in the Xuanmen, and many hidden Xuanmen families will choose to take this opportunity to sharpen the younger generations, so it is often the competition with the highest attention when the first edge emerges. Every family will send the strongest junior, Chu Cen's current strength, to compete, it's really not enough to see!
"Father......" Chu Tianyu's face blushed for a while, turned white for a while, and said in a pleading tone, "Father, Cen Cen also needs to be sharpened!" It was the two of us who did the wrong thing at the beginning, so don't be angry with Cen Cen, she is from the Chu family, you can give her a chance......"
"When did I get angry with Cen Cen?" Chu Yuntian still said indifferently, "Cen Cen is also my beloved granddaughter. ”
When Chu Tianyu heard this, his heart was overjoyed, "In this way, is my father willing to help Cen Cen?" ”
"Tianyu, do you want me to use the Chu Clan's secret method to help Cen Cen improve his strength?" Chu Yuntian stared at Chu Tianyu and said, "You should know that in that case, it may not be good for Cen Cen!" ”
Chu Tianyu hurriedly said, "Father, Cen Cen's qualifications are not as good as Qiao Qiao's. Qiao Qiao naturally doesn't need to use secret methods to improve her strength, but Cen Cen is different, Cen Cen has been abroad for so many years, and she has not received your guidance, and our husband and wife's teaching to her is naturally limited, if you can use secret methods to improve your strength, it will be ...... for Cen Cen It's also a good thing. ”
Chu Yuntian was silent.
Chu Tianyu was anxious, leaning forward slightly, "Father......"
"Daddy!" Wen Lan finally couldn't help but speak, "It's all granddaughters, you can't be so partial!" You let Qiao Qiao take over the Chu family, we have no opinion, who let Qiao Qiao inherit the ghost pupil? We also sincerely regretted what happened at the beginning, and it is enough to wander outside for so many years, right? You can't ignore Cen Cen's future! ”
Chu Yuntian let out a long sigh, "If you use the secret method to improve your strength, it is very likely that Cen Cen will not be able to improve again in the future!" ”
"Aren't there exceptions?" Wen Lan grabbed the conversation and said, "Isn't there a lot of predecessors in the history of the Chu Clan, after using secret methods to improve their strength under forced circumstances, they can still cultivate in the end, and even their cultivation speed has improved by leaps and bounds!" Maybe Cen Cen needs such an opportunity? ”
"Let me think about it again!" Chu Yuntian shook his head and said.
"Dad-" Wen Lan was about to say more, but was pulled by Chu Tianyu. Chu Tianyu knows his father's character, and he has always said the same. Since my father agreed to think about it, it means that there is still room for things to turn around.
"Okay, let's go back first, my father will give Cen Cen a chance." Chu Tianyu glanced at his father cautiously, pulled Wen Lan up and walked out, "Father, let's go back first." ”
Wen Lan saw her husband like this, so she had to follow her husband and leave unwillingly.
The study was quiet again, and Chu Yuntian couldn't help but massage the temples with his hands, looking tired.
Chu Qiao gently walked behind Chu Yuntian and massaged Chu Yuntian, "Grandpa...... Are you worried that after improving Chu Cen's strength, it will threaten my status, or are you worried that Cen Cen will never have a chance to improve himself in the future? ”
"Girl, both are worried, what kind of worry do you think I will be?" Chu Yuntian asked rhetorically.
"Grandpa...... I know that you have both worries, but you must be more worried than the first. Chu Qiao whispered, "You still feel sorry for Chu Cen." ”
After a while, Chu Yuntian nodded, "If they had your heart in the first place, how could they make such a big mistake?" They only see my partiality, but they don't see why I am so 'partial', your father is kind and gentle. Your mother never fights with anyone, and you, Jojo...... Exquisite-hearted, but also inherited your father's kindness and mother's generosity, your family, how can you not let me be more favoritive? ”
Chu Qiao smiled slightly, "Grandpa, Qiao Qiao, thank you for your preference." ”
"Hey......" Chu Yuntian let out a long sigh again, "It's a pity that Tianyu and his family don't understand this!" ”
"Grandpa, what kind of secret method is that? Makes you feel embarrassed like this? Chu Qiao couldn't help but ask curiously.
Chu Yuntian waved his hand, "I'll tell you when you take over the Chu family." ”
Chu Tian's heart jumped, could it be that this so-called secret method needed the head of the Chu family to be able to use it? No wonder the uncle and his family returned to the Chu family so aggrieved and begged their grandfather.
The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and Chu Qiao left the study.
In the small building, Wen Lan angrily circled around the room, "We're all so low, and the old guy still refuses to let go!" I'm afraid that if our Cen Cen becomes stronger, it will threaten Chu Qiao! Too eccentric! Too eccentric! Isn't our family Cen surnamed Chu? ”
"Alright, don't talk about it." Chu Tianyu's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa still won't improve my strength?" Chu Cen pouted and said, "Grandpa doesn't want me to participate in the debut?" Apart from me and Chu Qiao, who else in the Chu family can participate? Would he rather be embarrassed by the Chu family than let me show my face in the Xuanmen Competition? ”
"Your grandfather still has to think about it." Chu Tianyu spit out this sentence with difficulty, "Maybe he is worried that after you use the secret method to improve your strength, it will be difficult to go to the next level in the future." ”
"I don't believe it!" Chu Cen immediately raised his little head and waited for Chu Tianyu to say, "If Grandpa would be worried about me, he wouldn't have done anything to abolish my cultivation in the first place!" ”
"Grandpa was merciful to his subordinates at the beginning!" Chu Tianyu said, "Otherwise, can you recover so quickly with the help of the power over there?" ”
"Dad, since that side is so strong, why don't you let that side help us get rid of Chu Qiao's stumbling block? As long as Chu Qiao is gone, the Chu family can only count on me, will grandpa be more partial to me? A trace of coldness flashed in Chu Cen's eyes, and Chu Tianyu was a little frightened.
Cen Cen ...... Even if Chu Qiao is not good to you, he is also your cousin! Chu Tianyu couldn't help but speak.
"What sister? Did she treat me like a sister? Chu Cen said disapprenously, "This time when we come back, have you heard her call me sister?" She didn't treat me as a sister for a long time, and I would still treat her as a sister? ”
Chu Tianyu didn't know what to say, so he could only look at his daughter in a daze, and a chill rose in his heart.
Wen Lan praised, "That's it! If others are unkind, we are unjust! Whatever! ”
"Dad, when are we going to do it?" Chu Cen stared at Chu Tianyu with burning eyes.
Chu Tianyu closed his eyes a little tiredly and leaned back on the sofa, "It will be soon...... They said they had to keep the bait and wait for the fish to appear! ”
"Dad, what kind of organization is over there?" Chu Cen still couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Don't ask, kid!" As soon as Wen Lan mentioned this, her face also changed, "When it's time to tell you, I will naturally tell you!" ”
Chu Qiao returned to his room and looked towards Xiao Lou, "Will you disappoint grandpa again?" ”
