The next morning, when I woke up, it was seven o'clock. After Chen Kai opened his eyes, he stretched a big lazy waist before sitting up from the bed.

It had been a long time since he had slept for so long. I slept comfortably and peacefully.

"Mom, it's early!"

When I came out of the room, I saw that my mother was already in the kitchen heating some of the leftover dishes from last night, cooking some noodles, and the remaining dumplings were also hot.

"Xiao Kai, get up." When Zhang Liping heard this, she looked back at Chen Kai with a smile. In the past, Chen Kai got up very early to practice at home, and basically did not sleep lazy, so Zhang Liping was not surprised to see Chen Kai get up so early.

"Well, Mom, is Yue'e up?" Chen Kai looked at some of the dishes that his mother had heated in the kitchen, sniffled, and asked casually.

Zhang Liping responded: "Oh, Yue'e, she got up early, and I just saw her meditating on the balcony." ”

In the past, Zhang Liping often saw Chen Kai meditating and breathing and phallizing, which was no stranger.

"Oh, I'll go take a look." Chen Kai answered and walked out of the kitchen. When I came to the living room, I saw Zheng Yue'e sitting on a cushion on the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window, meditating and spitting.

It's not about cultivating true qi, it's just about breathing and regulating the breath. Although it will not allow the true qi to grow, it can straighten out one's own qi and strengthen some of one's control over the true qi.

After looking at it twice, Chen Kai went to wash up and didn't bother Zheng Yue'e.

Waiting for Chen Kai to wash up, after a while, Zheng Yue'e also ended breathing, slowly lifted her breath, and then stood up.

"Yue, come and sit, get ready to eat." Chen Kai greeted and helped his mother bring out the hot dishes from the kitchen, as well as a large pot of noodles.

"Hmm. Okay, uncle. Zheng Yue'e answered, hurriedly walked into the house, and then closed the floor-to-ceiling window.

"By the way, Mom, you can help me make a sweet and sour carp and a bowl of longevity noodles later." Chen Kai suddenly spoke.

Zhang Liping was stunned when she heard this, looked up at Chen Kai, then sighed slightly, nodded, and said, "Hmm." Okay, Mom will do it later. Alas, your master likes to eat sweet and sour fish and longevity noodles, and he also said that the word 'longevity' in longevity noodles is good, and he likes it very much. ”

"In the past, every year on the first day of the new year, you would bring the sweet and sour fish and longevity noodles made by your mother to your master, but I didn't expect it to be ...... this year."

Zhang Liping sighed, and also had a lot of emotion. She was very aware of her son's feelings for his master, and even because Chen Kai's father left when he was young, it was his master who played a certain role as a father in a certain way.

Chen Kai's feelings for his master can be said to be both a master and a father!

Thinking of the departure of my son, Master. Zhang Liping also felt very sorry for her son, she knew that her son must be very sad in his heart.

"Well, Mom, I'm sorry for you." Chen Kai said softly. The voice was a little low.

Zheng Yue'e, who was originally about to clip noodles next to her, couldn't help but pause when she heard Zhang Liping mention Chen Kai's master.

couldn't help but say: "Uncle Shi, I, can I go with you to worship my ancestor?" ”

Zheng Yue'e was a little apprehensive. seemed worried that Chen Kai would not agree to take her.

Chen Kai glanced at her and was about to speak, when Zhang Liping suddenly said, "Xiao Kai." Why don't I go with you to see your master?" It's really thanks to him for teaching you over the years. ”

At this point, Zhang Liping is really grateful to Chen Kai's master, if it weren't for Master Chen Kai's teaching, Zhang Liping believes that Chen Kai would not have been so sensible all the time, basically she didn't worry about it much, and Chen Kai's master also taught Chen Kai his skills, Zhang Liping was very grateful in her heart.

Now that Chen Kai's master is gone, she also wants to go and worship.

"Well, good! Then let's go together. I think Master, the old man, must be glad that you went to see him. Chen Kai said with a smile, his smile looking very peaceful.

After breakfast, Zhang Liping immediately began to cook sweet and sour fish and longevity noodles in the kitchen......

Coming to the countryside and mountains, Chen Kai looked at the small Taoist temple where the master had lived for more than eight years, and his eyes were full of memories and sighs. On the edge of the Taoist temple is the tomb of the master.

"Uncle Shi, Master has been living here all these years?" Zheng Yue'e looked at the small Taoist temple in front of her and couldn't help asking. For a while it was uninhabited, and it was covered with dust.

"Well, ever since Master met me and took me as an apprentice, he has been living here. Next to it is Master's grave. Chen Kai took a deep breath and pointed to the small mound next to the Taoist temple and said.

Chen Kai's master was buried by himself, he didn't make it very luxurious, he just made a wooden coffin out of wood, and then buried it here, and even the tombstone was cut from the side of a stone simply engraved the master's name.

The tomb of Tianxuan!

There are only these words on that tombstone, 'Tianxuan' is Chen Kai's master's honorific name in the Wanxing Sect. As for the natal life, Chen Kai's master did not mention it to him. Therefore, when Chen Kai erected the monument, he could only erect the monument in the name of 'Tianxuan'.

Walking quickly to the tomb, Zheng Yue'e looked at the simple tomb and was silent for a while. She hadn't seen Chen Kai's master, and naturally she didn't have any feelings for this ancestor, but when she learned that she had another ancestor, she actually admired and admired the ancestor in her heart.

After all, in her eyes, her master and uncle were already amazing figures in cultivation. Zheng Yue'e longs for being able to meet the fairy-like ancestor in her uncle's mouth, and even see the immortal methods of the ancestor with her own eyes.

It's a pity, but I didn't expect that what I saw now was only the tomb of my ancestor. There is some sadness and sadness in my heart.

Zhang Liping also silently walked to the grave, and then took out the sweet and sour fish and longevity noodles that were still hot in the thermos box and put them in front of the tombstone.

"Dao Chief, this is my own sweet and sour fish and longevity noodles. In previous years, you always told Xiao Kai that you liked the sweet and sour fish and longevity noodles I made, and you didn't feel tired of eating it, but now I personally brought it over for you to taste, and thank you for teaching Xiao Kai over the years, so that this child can be sensible and talented......"

Zhang Liping squatted in front of the tombstone, resting a pair of chopsticks neatly on the bowl containing longevity noodles, and chattering.

Chen Kai watched quietly on the side, his palm involuntarily touching a pillar in front of the Taoist temple, looking at the master's tomb, and closing his eyes at some point, as if he could hear the master talking to him.

I also had in my mind the image of following the Master here and being taught by the Master......

After worshipping the master and returning home, Chen Kai was silent for a while, Zhang Liping looked at it in her eyes, a little distressed, but she could also understand Chen Kai's mood, and she didn't know how to persuade Chen Kai.

However, Zhang Liping knew that her son would be fine if she was quiet, so she didn't say anything.

And in the evening, Chen Kai's mood was finally relieved, after all, the master has been dead for more than half a year, and today is just a touch of sadness, some feelings are just low, it's not a big deal.

Calm down and slowly relax your mood.

There are no relatives at home to leave, because over the years, Chen Kai's family is very quiet during the Chinese New Year. At this time in previous years, Chen Kai practiced with his master at the Taoist temple in the mountains, while his mother would only close the small market on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, and it would resume business on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

The reason why there are no relatives in the family is because Chen Kai's mother is an only child, and his grandparents left early. As for Chen Kai's father, he has no brothers and sisters, but there are a few uncles and uncles in the village in his hometown in the countryside who occasionally walk around.

After returning to the mountains to worship the master before, Chen Kai and Zhang Liping had already walked around. Basically, Chen Kai's family's so-called New Year's greetings with relatives are even like this.

In this regard, Chen Kai's family is much more deserted for the New Year than other people's homes are full of lively relatives. But I've gotten used to it over the years.

It's just that when Chen Kai was young, he couldn't help but be a little envious of other people, who had so many uncles and aunts, aunts, uncles and aunts and so on. I envy that they can go to many, many relatives' houses during the New Year, many people sit and eat together happily, and there are a lot of red envelopes to get New Year's money......

In some ways, Chen Kai's childhood is a little missing compared to most other children. Including the loss of his father, his family life became very difficult, and his mother's fatigue could only be barely maintained, and the difficult living conditions made Chen Kai introverted and silent in his childhood, and even a little autistic and inferior.

After all, everyone else has a dad, but he doesn't. Others have very good conditions, all kinds of toys, or new school bags, new clothes, etc., but he knows that his mother works very hard, and almost never takes the initiative to ask her to buy anything.

Fortunately, Chen Kai later met his master.

It was the appearance of the master that changed his character, and his life also made up for some of the care that Chen Kai lacked in his childhood.

If it weren't for the fact that the master played a very important role in his life, Chen Kai would not have been unable to let go of the master's feelings after leaving for more than half a year.

Walking to the balcony, facing the dark night outside, blowing the cold wind of the night that was a bit bitter in winter, Chen Kai's eyes were unusually deep and staring at the darkness in the distance.

Life is impermanent, what has passed has passed after all, and no one can change anything. can only bury the reluctance and nostalgia deep in the bottom of my heart, and when I touch it at a certain moment, there will be a different kind of feelings and sighs.

After standing quietly alone for about ten minutes, Chen Kai returned to the house. Zhang Liping had already gone back to her room to rest, but Zheng Yue'e was still sitting in the living room.

Seeing Chen Kai walking back, he couldn't help but get up and said, "Uncle Shi, are you still thinking about your ancestor?" (To be continued......)
