Chapter 11: Grandpa's Gift
Listening to the words of his grandfather and father complimenting each other, Zhao Lengfei couldn't help but pout at his mother and grimaced. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tian Yuan looked at his grandson who was squeezing his eyebrows at his daughter, and changed his words: "Good grandson, now that you have passed your tenth birthday, you have also reached the age of learning skills, although you have followed your father to study in the university hall since you were a child, but what big skills can you learn in the academy in addition to reading and reading and reading, it is nothing more than to gain fame and fortune in the future, these false names and positions have long been abandoned by your father, do you still care?" Have you ever thought about what you will do in the future? ”
"I want to go to the Damen Sect to learn cultivation and become a real cultivation master in the future." Zhao Lengfei saw that the eyes of the whole family were focused on him, so he simply said what was in his heart.
"Oh? If you want to learn the truth, do you want to learn it after hearing the guests talk about the truth today, or have you planned to do so for a long time? ”
"Hail has heard my father talk about cultivating the truth before, and I have learned a lot from the book, and I have already planned to do so." Zhao Lengfei replied.
"Hehe, good grandson, cultivating truth is not as easy as you think, back then I also had a few friends who were fortunate enough to worship in Aoki Palace to learn cultivation, these people were able to be selected as disciples by the head of the four major sects above the top of the Aoki Palace, which is not one in a million people among the dragon and phoenix, whether it is talent, mind or the so-called cultivation of the root bone qualification, they are far higher than me, but they have practiced for decades, but they have always been the lowest level of cultivators, and they have not even been able to cross the initial hurdle of cultivation.
Cultivating truth is not as simple as reading and reading, practicing martial arts and swords, as long as you have good talent, perseverance, and hard work. If you want to cultivate the truth, in addition to the extremely outstanding qualifications, the guidance of famous teachers, good opportunities, and your own creation are all indispensable. It's so hard to cultivate, are you sure you want to learn? Tian Yuanwai looked at Zhao Lengfei's eyes and asked.
"Of course, you have to learn, no matter how difficult it is to cultivate the truth, there are people who have succeeded, what others can do, I have someone who will definitely be able to do it, and what others can't do, I may not be able to do it, even if there is only one person in this world who can cultivate the truth and succeed, that person will only be me." Zhao Lengfei's eyes flashed, and he said in an unusually resolute tone.
Zhao Lengfei has a reason to learn, he doesn't belong here, he clearly remembers that he comes from another world, although he has successfully integrated into the new family and adapted to the current world, but the memories and emotions buried in his heart can never be forgotten, so as long as there is a glimmer of hope that can be connected to the original world, he will fight for it, no matter how rich and comfortable his life is, it is impossible for him to forget his identity in his previous life and stop and enjoy.
In the past two years, Zhao Lengfei faintly felt that only through cultivation could he truly understand the current world, and only by understanding this world could he find the answer to all these things that happened to him.
Zhao Lengfei is a person who will not give up once he has identified the goal, when he is determined to do something, no matter how difficult it is, how many people have failed, he will persist in doing it, he firmly believes that in the end, the person who succeeds and does the best must be himself, and he is also this character in his previous life.
"No matter how difficult it is to cultivate, I have learned it." Zhao Lengfei said secretly in his heart.
"Okay, worthy of being my grandson, ambitious." Tian Yuanwai nodded and said: "All the people who have heard of Xiuzhen, which one does not have a mind about Xiuzhen, just say that our Dasheng country, with a population of hundreds of millions, geniuses do not know geometry, but there are very few people who can really make a difference on the road of Xiuzhen, I also wanted to go to Aoki Palace to apprentice when I was young, but the result was that because the qualifications of the root bones were too poor, I didn't even have the opportunity to get started." ”
Speaking of old things, Tian Yuanwai also sighed slightly: "Later, when I was successful in business, I had the opportunity to contact some high-level cultivators, and at that time I knew that these ordinary people of ours with wealth, identity and status are actually no different from grass mustard in the eyes of real cultivators, even if they have the ability of your father, they are just ordinary in the eyes of cultivators, and there is no merit." In the early years, your father also came into contact with a lot of cultivators, and the feeling of being looked down upon made him very unconvinced, and he wanted to learn the truth by himself through some ways, but the final result was up to him to tell you. ”
"Daddy, is this true? When, why haven't I heard you talk about it at all? Zhao Lengfei opened his mouth and asked, listening to his grandfather's words, he was also muttering in his heart: "If you can't succeed in self-learning with your father's talent, it seems that cultivation is really as it says in the book, even if you have cultivation exercises, you can't learn it without the guidance of a teacher." ”
"Yes, that's before you were born, by chance, I got a book of cultivation exercises, and I did have the idea of self-study and cultivation." Zhao Qingshuang nodded and said: "But the things in that exercise are too obscure and difficult to understand, and the exercise I got is incomplete, plus I can't meet the many external material conditions required for cultivation, so I haven't been able to understand much after several years of enlightenment." ”
"Then why didn't Daddy go and participate in the assessment of those cultivators who accepted disciples? If you can't pass the assessment with your father's ability, then it is estimated that no one in our Dasheng Kingdom will be able to pass the assessment. Zhao Leng said.
What his father Zhao Qingshuang knows best, if even his father can't pass the core of the four major sects to accept apprentices, then the four major sects may not be able to accept half of the apprentices over the years, and the longer he stays with his father, the more he feels that his father's ability is far more than what he sees.
"I haven't participated in the apprenticeship assessment of the four major sects, so I don't know if I can pass it, in fact, my interest in cultivation is only a moment, far from the point where I have to learn, once I enter the cultivation sect, it is normal to not go out of the sect for a few years, or even more than ten years or even decades, I have this family, of course I will not go to those sects to learn cultivation."
"Oh, I see." Zhao Lengfei thought about it, his father was a filial person, and he was definitely reluctant to leave his grandfather and grandmother when he was young, how could he go to learn Xiuzhen, thinking of this, he turned his head and asked his mother: "Mother, will you be reluctant if I go to learn Xiuzhen from a teacher?" ”
Tian Yunting has been listening to her father, husband and son, and did not interject, and was suddenly asked by her son, she immediately touched her son's face, and said: "You go to learn skills, what am I reluctant to do, what's good about tying you to me, I can take care of you for a while, and I can take care of you for a lifetime, as a mother is not an unreasonable person, you just need to learn to take care of yourself, and often go home to see your mother when the time comes." ”
Tian Yunting said very simply, without the slightest hesitation, but the reluctance in her eyes couldn't hide it from her son at all, Zhao Lengfei's heart trembled fiercely, what he wanted and wanted to do all these years, his parents were all satisfied, he knew that he couldn't be as willful as he was when he was a child, and he should consider his family's feelings in everything he did in the future.
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely study hard, and let me help my grandfather and father realize their wishes." Zhao Lengfei understands his family's support, understanding and expectations for him, and he can only put words of gratitude in his heart.
Tian Yuanwai listened to his grandson's words, smiled with relief, stood up, and said to his daughter and son-in-law: "Yun Ting Qingshuang, help me move this table." ”
The two didn't know what the old father meant, and they didn't mean to ask, but moved the tea table in the center of the room to the side as the old father said.
Moving away from the table, Tian Yuanwai squatted down and rolled up the blanket on the ground, Zhao Lengfei didn't know what his grandfather was going to do, but he was not idle, and helped his grandfather clean it up together.
The blanket was rolled up to the wall, and the floor in the room was exposed, and the floor was covered with polished flat marble slabs, which was no different from the floor that Zhao Lengfei usually saw.
Tian Yuanwai took out a key from his waist, and pressed the key at a certain place on the ground, and the key was inserted into the floor, after the key was inserted into the ground, Tian Yuanwai gently twisted it, and heard a squeaky sound, and the floor in the center of the room was actually propped up, revealing a hole half a meter square.
Zhao Lengfei was very surprised in his heart, this kind of device he had seen in the book, it was the simplest kind of mechanism technique, the mechanism elastic plate.
Mechanism art was very prosperous in the ancient era of the Great Sheng Kingdom, at that time the mechanism warlock had designed countless incredible mechanisms, without relying on any electric hydraulic device, completely relying on physical braking, you can use a small key to open and close the stone door weighing 10,000 pounds freely, it is really unimaginable.
It's a pity that the ideas of those mechanism warlocks in ancient times were too conservative and traditional, and the different inheritances were almost hostile to each other, and there would be no exchange of production experience between any two families, which greatly hindered the development of the skill of machine magic.
And the attitude towards the inheritance of the skill of the machine, but the family is the same, that is, rather lack than indiscriminate, the most important thing to learn the mechanism is talent, there is a way is easy to find good talents, the mechanism will gradually be lost after surgery, and it is normal to disappear in the long river of history, and people today can only imitate the simplest of the mechanisms according to the description in the ancient books.
Tian Yuanwai took out a very delicate white box from the hole in the ground, and put it on the table that had just been moved to the wall, the box was not big, only thirty centimeters square, Zhao Lengfei could see at a glance that this box was carved from a whole piece of white warm jade, his father likes to collect strange ancient books, so he has seen countless antiquities and treasures, and now his eyes are also vicious and ruthless, not to mention the things in the box for the time being, this box alone is worth 100,000 taels of silver, and it can be in the shop of half a street in Yingshui County, The box was unlocked, and a piece of golden rune paper was attached to the mouth of the box.
Zhao Lengfei looked at his mother and found that his mother was also surprised, staring intently at the white jade box, judging from his mother's expression, I am afraid that his mother did not know that she had this thing at home before.
Tian Yuanwai beckoned the family to sit down around the table again, he didn't say what to do with this box, but took out another piece of silver rune paper from his arms, he carefully pasted the silver rune paper and the golden rune paper on the jade box together, and gently wiped the surface of the rune paper with his thumb a few times, so that the two rune papers were completely glued together.
The family didn't know what Tian Yuanwai meant, and they all looked at Tian Yuanwai and the jade blind man with curious eyes, and Tian Yuanwai didn't have any intention to explain to a few people, just motioned for them to look at the rune paper on the jade box.
After about half a minute, the two rune papers pasted together caught fire with a "poof", and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, Tian Yuanwai said to Zhao Lengfei who was surprised: "Good grandson, open it and take a look, the things in it are my birthday gift to you, I hope it will help you in the future, don't let me down." ”
"Thank you, grandpa." After Zhao Lengfei finished speaking, he didn't think much about it, opened the lid of the jade box, and took out the contents inside.
There is only a neat belt and a turquoise jade pendant in the jade box, the belt is about five centimeters wide and nearly two meters long. There is no buckle and strap card on the belt, it is the ancient wrapping style, the whole belt is silver-white, embroidered with a golden pattern like water waves, it looks as if there is really a golden water wave rippling, the belt is exquisitely made, and the feel is also excellent, which is by no means comparable to ordinary silk wadding.
The jade pendant is three centimeters long, one and a half centimeters wide, the shape is very peculiar, like a small leaf, Zhao Lengfei can clearly see the size of the whole leaf, and even the edge of the leaf is not carved naturally, it is difficult to imagine that this jade pendant is artificially carved.
The jade pendant is turquoise all over, with a silver-white dot raised in the center, Zhao Lengfei took it to his eyes and observed it carefully, and found that this jade pendant seemed to be transparent on the outside, and there was green smoke inside, and the silver-white dot was actually a white spider carved on it.
It's just that the spider is too small, Zhao Lengfei can only vaguely see the shape of the spider with the naked eye, I really don't know how such a small thing is carved, a delicate thin line passes through a small hole at the top of the pendant similar to a petiole, looking at the length of the thin line, it should be worn around the neck.
Zhao Lengfei couldn't see the origin of these two things at all, his father Zhao Qingshuang's gaze only stayed on the jade talisman for a few seconds before shifting to the belt, staring at the belt for a while, Zhao Qingshuang finally recognized what it was, Rao couldn't help but take a breath of cold air with his calm temperament: "This is the legendary storage belt." ”
Storage belt, Zhao Lengfei has seen the description of it more than once in the book: the appliance used by the master of cultivation to store items, the appearance looks similar to an ordinary belt, but wearing it can easily carry a lot of things without adding any weight, and the storage belt is also divided into high, medium and low grades, and the number of items stored in different levels of storage belts varies greatly.
Even the lowest-level storage belt is something that cultivators can encounter but cannot find, and it is mentioned in the "Miscellaneous Records of Xingxiu Guyang" that in the era when Gu Yang lived, the production method of the storage belt has been lost, and no one has the ability to make a new storage belt anymore. In Gu Yang's original sect, only the head and the Great Elder each had a storage belt, and Gu Yang himself had a great opportunity on the way to practice, so he was lucky enough to get a lowest-level storage belt.
Zhao Lengfei estimated that the storage belt should only exist in the hands of some major sects or big people who have been inherited for a long time, and ordinary cultivators are not qualified to have it at all, and he never imagined that his grandfather would have one.
"Hehe, Qingshuang really has good eyesight, this is a storage belt, and it is also an intermediate storage belt, which can store a lot of things, good grandson, there are many things in the belt, all of them are for you, and you will have time to look at them yourself in the future."
"Father-in-law, this storage belt is too valuable, if it is seen by a cultivator who knows the goods, it is easy to be coveted by others, and Hail is not capable of keeping such a treasure now." Zhao Qingshuang said with some worry when she heard this.
"It's okay, I just said to give it to my good grandson as a gift, not to let him take it out to show others, Yun Ting, you help him keep it first, when the good grandson needs it, you give it to him, this thing is really helpful to the good grandson Xiuzhen."
Zhao Lengfei now knew how valuable the things given by his grandfather were, since the belt was something used by cultivators, the jade pendant should not be simple, he was busy and looked at the jade pendant carefully, the jade material must be a good material in a million, and the workmanship is also first-class fine, but what does this jade pendant have to do with the cultivator, could it be that the cultivator has worn it.
Zhao Lengfei looked at his father, and his father said with some uncertainty: "If I guess correctly, this should be a jade talisman refined by a master of cultivation, but what kind of effect it has, I don't know." ”
Qingshuang said yes, this is indeed a jade talisman refined by a master of cultivation, it is said that it is still a talisman jade talisman, but its specific effect and usage, I don't know, good grandson, let your mother help you put this talisman on, sooner or later you will use it. This storage belt and talisman are my family heirlooms, but even your mother has never seen them before. Tian Yuan said.
"Family heirlooms, could it be that our ancestors also had powerful cultivators?" Zhao Lengfei asked in surprise, he originally thought that these two things were obtained by his grandfather through some means, and he could pass down the talisman jade talisman refined by the master of cultivation and the intermediate storage belt that ordinary cultivators could not see, it seemed that his grandfather's ancestor really had a great person.
"I really don't know if my ancestors have ever produced cultivators, these two things have been passed down for generations, but their origins have not been passed down, but there is a sentence about these two things, good grandson, you have to listen well, the ancestral teachings are like this: 'These two things contain the secrets of my ancestors, and those who are not cultivators cannot understand their meanings, and if they are not virtuous descendants, they should not be passed on lightly, so as to prevent the disaster of extermination.'
My father and grandfather and I are all in the same line, and when I arrived at your mother, she was a daughter, and she didn't have the ability to keep these two things, so these two things became hot things, and I originally wanted to let them go with me, and no longer leave any trouble for future generations.
Now that you are determined to become a cultivator, these two ancestral things should be of some use to you, so I will pass them on to you, my good grandson, and you will never be able to show these two things to others in the future. Tian Yuan said earnestly.
"Yes, Hail reminds." After listening to his grandfather's words, Zhao Lengfei also knew the seriousness of the matter, and he knew very well what he should do.
Mother took the jade talisman and put it on him, Zhao Lengfei felt that the jade talisman was a little cool at first, but after a while, he couldn't feel it at all, and if he didn't think about it, he wouldn't notice that he was wearing this thing at all.
The family cleaned up the house in its original state and chatted for a while, and then Tian Yuanwai took Zhao Lengfei to play in the storage room where he collected strange things, leaving only Zhao Lengfei's parents in the house.
"Qingshuang, do you think that if Hail goes to cultivate, can you pass the assessment? He's still too young, I'm really worried. Tian Yunting's eyes looked a little moist, obviously worried about her son after listening to her previous words.
"Madam, don't worry, you don't know Hail'er's talent and potential, that's what Xiuzhen values, doesn't your son understand? And when the father-in-law makes a mistake in looking at people, the meaning of his old man's words is already obvious, and even he thinks that Hail will embark on the road of cultivation, so don't worry. Zhao Qingshuang comforted his wife.
"I hope you and your father are right, which cultivation sect are you going to let Xiao'er go to to take the entrance examination? How long can he stay home? ”
"Xuanshuimen, I've thought about this for a long time, although Xuanshuimen is the least powerful of the four major factions, its reputation is the best, and the cultivators in the door are all righteous. Moreover, Xuanshuimen is also close to home, and I also know a consul from Xuanshuimen, who can entrust me to take care of it. Zhao Qingshuang calculated in his heart, and said: "Now there are still more than nine months before Xuanshuimen accepts apprentices to the outside world, and I can train Xiao'er well during this time, what do you think?" ”
Listening to her husband's words, Tian Yunting lowered her head and was silent, as if she was thinking about something, Zhao Qingshuang didn't continue to say anything when she saw this, just quietly watched her wife think about it, and after a while, Tian Yunting raised her head and said: "Okay, it's up to you, it's really reluctant for Hail to leave home at such a young age, but for the sake of Hail'er's future, I support you in whatever you do." ”
