Volume 1 - The Father from Another World Chapter 5: The Choice (I)
In the dead of night, Long Yanshi sat alone on a mountain peak not far from the manor, and the wind blew his clothes to hunt. Holding a wine gourd in his hand, from which a strong smell of wine came out from time to time, this gourd is like a spring, flowing out of an endless stream of liquor, his clothes are wet but he doesn't care at all, there is an indissoluble self-deprecation between his eyebrows.
"Come out, come have a drink with me"
As soon as the words fell, a white shadow jumped down from the branch, and the lotus step moved lightly in the moonlight just like a fairy in the Moon Palace, walked to Long Yanshi's side and sat down, took the wine gourd from his hand, took a big sip, and a touch of crimson flew on his originally white face, quietly leaned on the man's shoulder, and said softly:
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Xiangxiang, are we incompetent parents?"
The woman snorted and laughed:
"It's been a long time since you've called me that, little villain, are you still bothered by that?"
"Yes, this kid was about the same age as a five-year-old when he was three years old, and he was pestering me to practice martial arts, and at that time his head was hot, he perfected the plan and let him practice and play, but who would have thought that this kid was so gifted that he learned so much in less than five years. Could this be the strength of the combination of human and demon blood? Alas, regret it!".
"I really don't know if I should tell him the cultivation method and make him stronger. Emotionally speaking, I don't want him to embark on the path of cultivation, so that one day he will leave us and go to the outside world, and it will inevitably bring danger to him. ”
"Rationally, since he has talent, we should at least give him a chance. There is nothing wrong with the dangers out there, but a person can only grow through grinding, and that's what we want to see, isn't it? Besides, this is the end of our journey, but it is only the beginning of it."
There was a strange blank look on the man's face.
The woman took over:
"Aren't you and I too good at the beginning? If it weren't for the appearance of the ancient ruins, there wouldn't have been such a thing, or maybe we were just ordinary nobodies, how could so many things happen. The water in the cultivation realm is too deep, and the mistakes we have made are enough for us to bear!"
The man laughed at himself and retorted:
"The child is going to grow up, can you bear to let him stay here for the rest of his life? Aren't we selfish in that way? We want him to live, and we want him to be free and happy. His qualifications are mediocre, and that's it, but I really can't bear to destroy such a good seedling in my own hands, especially since he is still my son. None of us know his future, but at least we should give him a choice. ”
The woman looked back and smiled:
"Hehe, don't you already have a result? It's just that you are struggling and hesitating, your extraordinariness may be destined to be extraordinary for our son, you understand that this may be our end, but it is definitely not his, why am I?, I really want him to stay for the rest of his life, but then we can rest assured? I can't"
The man looked at her in a daze, as if the woman had seen through his thoughts. The woman chuckled, "It's not like what I said, is it?" The man nodded subconsciously, his wife had always been very opposed to him teaching his son any cultivation exercises, no, he was in opposition to him just now, why did he change his mind all of a sudden?
The woman smiled and said:
"Actually, I don't know why, I would say something like this, maybe your second thing has been in the house for a long time, and my own IQ is not enough."
Hearing the woman say this, his mood was no longer as dull as before, he turned his head and gently knocked on the woman's head, and said a little provocatively:
"I'm known as the almighty shou in our world, it's obvious that you've been with me for a long time and your IQ has risen, I'm going to punish you for disrespecting me just now, little lady, you can't run."
Long Yanshi has completely lost the gloom just now, and there are just endless obscenities and unkind eyes, just like a little rascal. The woman hooked her fingers in his direction, turned around and twisted her upturned little buttocks, and said provocatively: "If you have the ability, don't use spiritual power, you can catch me ......" Before the words were finished, they had already fallen into a warm embrace, and it was a typical princess hug.
The woman said with tears in her eyes: "You are cheating, you will do it before they finish speaking, no, no restart."
"You treat me as stupid, I told you a long time ago, never be limited by routines, others bet with you, that is the beginning of routines, so you have to strangle it in the cradle. As punishment, hehe". After speaking, he grabbed it fiercely on the woman's plump chest.
The woman's face was red with shame, but she didn't resist anything, and sighed in her heart: "Alas, in terms of intelligence, it will never be able to compare to this little villain."
"Let's go, let's go home, Long Yanshi just hugged Gusu and asked for incense, and walked towards the village." This is a great enjoyment for them, although thousands of years have passed since they became parents, their relationship is just like the beginning, if there is any change, it can only be more and more precipitated.
A white phantom appeared in the place where they had originally befriended, and said to himself: "It seems that it is time for me to make a choice, Xiao Xuefeng, my sister is really looking forward to meeting you more and more." With that, she dissipated.
The next morning, the sky was just bright, Longyan Xuefeng was in a vacant space in his backyard, playing a set of boxing techniques, the boxing was strong and powerful, the receiving room was like a wolf like a tiger, the immature little face was filled with a tyrannical atmosphere, like the Milky Way's eyes flashed with a trace of cold light, a punch swung out of the whirring sound of breaking the wind, only to hear a muffled bang, a very destructive punch was caught by a big hand so lightly.
Long Yanshi gently let go of his hand, a complicated color flashed in his eyes, and he said with a solemn face:
"Don't practice yet, come with me".
Long Yan Xuefeng was stunned for a moment, when did his nervous father become so serious? He didn't ask just quietly followed, he had a hunch that this matter was not small today.
After a while, he came to the second floor, Gusu asked Xiang was also there, not saying a word, just looking at his son softly, the second floor was very simple, bamboo furniture, and some ink paintings hanging on the wall, I don't know how long it has been hanging but I can still smell the fragrance of ink, as well as the fragrance of green bamboo, every time it gives him a dreamlike feeling.
He was just about to find a place to sit.
Long Yanshi's face was solemn:
"Let me ask you, why do you like to practice martial arts?"
Long Yan Xuefeng put away his usual hippie smiling face, scratched his head and asked blankly: "Isn't it like to like, do you need a reason?"
"If you like it today and don't like it tomorrow, then you can leave now. ”
Long Yan Xuefeng had a premonition in his heart when he heard Long Yanshi's words, he would definitely gain something today, he thought about it and said: "At the beginning, it was just for fun, so that I could run faster and jump higher without being bullied by those guys."
"That's all?" Long Yan explained. He was more or less disappointed when he heard this answer, if a person did something just for fun, he might achieve something, but there are many people who give up halfway, because they lack a goal, which is always at a loss, just for fun. But the words below Longyan Snow Peak shocked him.
"That's not all, then I fell in love with inventions, and there are many design or practical problems with my inventions, such as the "folding glider" I brought back yesterday would never be able to fly if it was a normal person. ”
In other words, martial arts and internal force can make up for my lack of technology in invention, and invention can allow me to do things that I can't do with my hard work, isn't this a good complement? This also makes me really fall in love with invention and martial arts. ”
"I really want to see what kind of progress my invention will go and what kind of things I can do when my strength reaches a certain level." In his eyes, there is no youthfulness and immaturity that belongs to children, there are only longings and yearnings, and a little bit of fanaticism.
Long Yanshi looked at his son stupidly, with an expression of excitement and wisdom. From his face, he seemed to see the scene when he first came to this world and was ready to do a big job. He couldn't help but tremble, his expression was complicated, and he said in a somewhat urgent voice:
"Who told you these things, tell me quickly, tell me quickly!"
"I said that Daddy didn't drink too much this morning, who else should tell me about this? Don't you know it by practicing it yourself? Why don't I have such a good innate advantage and invent it again? I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out."
Looking at Long Yan Xuefeng as a matter of course, he couldn't help but smile. Yes, he has been researching and inventing for several years, and it is not surprising that he has such a harvest, it seems that he really touched the scene just now, and he thought too much.
Long Yanshi exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, looked at Long Yanshi and took a deep breath and said:
"Okay! Since you have this idea, we support you, and tell you the truth: what you are practicing now is negligible in front of the real Dao" There was not much emotion in the tone.
Longyan Xuefeng was stunned for a while.
Negligible... Negligible... Negligible...... This sentence echoed in his mind over and over again, no matter how mature his mind was, he was still just a child, and he had many, many things to experience. He was a little disappointed, he was proud, he smashed gold with his fists, stomped his feet and cracked the ground, and his world-beating martial arts of steel and iron bones turned out to be a flower fist show legs.
Long Yanshi didn't say a word, just watched quietly, he understood that it was not terrible to find his ignorance and weakness, but what was terrible was that he had no way to face it. A person who does not even have the courage to face setbacks cannot become stronger. He understands that his son is not such a person, and now it depends on how short time he can come out, and the shorter the time it takes, the better the heart and understanding that can be explained, which is often more important than talent and resources.
There was silence in the room, there was only a slight heartbeat, and time seemed to slow down in a few breaths, Long Yan Xuefeng raised his head and stared at the two of them with a firm and fiery gaze. The eyes are extremely complicated.
