Volume 1 Yangcheng Shaojie Introduction (5)

It is often said that father and son are very good at doing certain things, such as hiding the truth from each other.

The father did not tell his son, the mother fainted because she was worried about her son's condition, even if the son had already heard the noise in the outer courtyard - even if Lan Wang's hearing was damaged due to a serious illness, he would not be unable to hear such a noisy shouting, after all, he was a mercenary in his previous life, and he had already practiced a pair of kung fu with good ears.

The son didn't tell his father that the man who came in just now hadn't been treated well at all, and he hadn't even cut his pulse, his medicine had not been prescribed, and he couldn't talk about the aerobics scene, and all he had left was a set of meditation methods--but, what a shrewd man his father was, how could he not have found out that the doctor just now was just a charlatan?

The two of them are all seeing through and not saying anything, and they are both thinking about each other and don't want to block each other.

Furthermore, the son will not be so arrogant as to tell his father directly that he has passed through and does not belong to this family and this world at all; The father couldn't bear to tell his son directly, who was only eight years old, that even if he was the eldest son, he would probably not be able to inherit the position of the head of the Lan family. Because of the first rule of the Lan family's ancestral training, those who do not practice martial arts cannot be the head of the family, Lan Wang's legs are useless, there is almost no medicine to treat, there is no hope of learning martial arts, and the hope of becoming the head of the family after recovery is naturally very slim. Father Lan Fengshan didn't know where to talk to the child about these things, after all, just comforting his wife was enough for him to drink a pot.

According to the rules handed down by the ancestors, if the eldest son is unable to practice martial arts due to physical reasons or has a stubborn personality and is unwilling to learn martial arts, the position of the head of the family will be taken over by the younger son. If the youngest son is not competent, the heir to the position will be born among the young people of the same generation in the other side branches of the family, and the eldest son will still take precedence, and the competition between the houses will be based on the principle of merit. Lan Fengshan's wife only has Lan Wang's son, so if Lan Wang can't take over, the position of the young head of the family will fall into the hands of the eldest son of the second or third room. In other words, just because Lan Wang's luck was too bad and he had a strange illness, and at the same time, he didn't have a younger brother from the same mother, and the big house where the current head of the family was located lost the qualification to compete for the position of the next head of the family from the beginning!

And that's not even the most worrying thing. Although the Lan family has strict family laws, the family has a long history, and it is not without a situation in the past where a concubine inherits the position of the head of the family. The sons of the second and third rooms have been amazed by everyone because of their smart and talented talents, and their martial arts attainments at a young age have already amazed everyone, so they have won the hearts of their grandmothers. If there is really an accident, the competition for the head of the family will inevitably have to be complicated. With Lan Fengshan's arrogance, he may be able to reluctantly accept one of the two eldest nephews in the second and third rooms to take over his position, but he absolutely cannot tolerate the heirs born of the concubines to get involved in the dispute between the heads of the family!

But what about being angry? Can you change the facts in front of you?

Not speaking up, not thinking about those terrible possibilities, is just self-comforting! In addition, the child is young, try not to let him start thinking about these things so early.

While thinking about it, the head of the Lan family had a few words with his son, and he couldn't solve the troubles in his heart, and he was worried about his wife's body, so he admonished a few more words, scolded the little maid a few times, and left in a hurry.

As soon as he finished inviting his son, he had to help his wife invite him, which was indeed embarrassing for the head of the family.

Lan Wang didn't have the energy to carefully count how many Langzhong the Lan family had invited him, and of course he couldn't remember their names, after all, his brain was still groggy for at least a week after he woke up. But he was sure that there must have been more than ten Langzhong since he woke up. These people prescribed decoction to themselves, pricked acupuncture, taught aerobics, anyway, all the prescriptions and tricks that could help the injured leg recover, but there was no effect—the bowl of extremely bitter decoction he had just drunk was said to be the fifth prescription.

In line with the mentality that a try is better than not trying, Lan Wang has always followed the doctor's instructions and did whatever he had to do. But later, even he gradually discovered that the doctor who came was just perfunctory and even swindling for a considerable consultation fee. However, for the sake of the so-called "face" of the Lan family, even if his cheap father knew that most of these Jianghu doctors were liars, he couldn't openly drive them out without paying for the consultation. The other two families in Yangcheng and the other two rooms of the Lan family are waiting to see the jokes in this house, even if ordinary people witness the Lan family doing this, they rarely have to accuse the Lan family of bullying people - after all, the people who eat melons will instinctively sympathize with the weak, and being able to catch the pigtails of the strong who have been in the top position for a long time is also a great pleasure in the lives of many idlers.

As a result, the Lan family, the ruler of Yangguan Town, the six towns in Jiangbei, the head of the three major families in Yangcheng, and one of the seven warlords of the Great Ling Dynasty, was driven by the magical thing of "face", and let a dozen charlatans play around, knowing that it was fraud, and they had to desperately stuff money. As a result, the deception skills of the liars are becoming more and more low-level, and the "medical skills" of the scammers are becoming more and more out of tune. Today's Wang Langzhong is even more outrageous, he has been pretending to be pretending to be mysterious, and after coming in, he mysteriously asked all the family members and servants around Lan Wang to withdraw, so as not to affect his "treatment". After everyone had withdrawn, he lightly handed Lan Wang a set of mental methods, passed on a few mantras, and asked Lan Wang to meditate with him. As a result, this sitting is two hours! Although Lan Wang's mind was finally clearer, his legs were unconscious, and his upper body had no strength, so he didn't bother to poke him, so he had to follow him to watch his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, and sit for four hours. It was not until the sun was slanting to the west that Wang Langzhong, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and the treatment was "completed"! Naturally, during the whole process, Lan Wang didn't really meditate at all, after all, he didn't understand those general mantras of metaphysical teachings at all.

Picking up the hot water Lan Xin had just brought and rinsing his mouth to remove the bitter smell of the medicine, Lan Wang put down the teacup and began to think about how to regain his body's strength. He didn't take those so-called "aerobics plays" to heart at all from the beginning - there are more than N versions of the five bird plays that have been handed down in history, and the problem is that not everyone is Hua Tuo! This side of the carriage is still agitating the cheek raiser to let the hot water swirl in the mouth, and the young master of the compartment has begun to carefully recall the muscle strength training procedures he used in the past.

However, the more the former mercenary leader thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The so-called recovery training of physical strength is nothing more than to use the stimulation of muscles to awaken the potential of the human body, so that the strength of the limbs can be restored to the level before the injury as much as possible. The problem is that regular training routines invariably require the cooperation of other people or training equipment - after all, Lan Wang is now a disabled person with paralyzed legs, and even if he regains the strength of his upper limbs, he needs a training facilitator to accompany him in the pre-training warm-up. In this situation, the equipment is relatively easy to say, so where to find a qualified trainer! To make matters worse, it's still very difficult to do even those ancillary training programs that don't require equipment or others at all, and are done purely by your own limbs against gravity. Lan Wang's current body is not a young man in his thirties, but a child who is not yet nine years old! The difference in strength and physical potential between the two is like a moat. If you want to directly apply the previous tried and tested way, the result will definitely be absolutely and unsuspensefully tragic.

Lan Wang made such a difficulty. When he woke up in the past few days, he had already found that he had been "reincarnated" into a family of military generals. Even if you don't listen to the conversation of your family and subordinates, just the armor and the sword used for ceremonial decoration in the room can tell that the Lan clan is definitely a generational general. In such a family, if a descendant's legs are wasted and his hands are powerless, he will be very sad when he grows up. What's more, the traverser can think with his toes that the cheap dad must have something to hide from him: a big family has a son with a normal mind but a crippled body, and it is not a doom for the sky to fall into the dark when he is taught in detail, as long as it is not a sudden illness, even if it is to be treated, it can be slowly figured out, and there is no need to invite Langzhong in such a hurry. There is only one possibility why these anomalies were born - the Lan family may have some hidden secrets. If he wants to solve the dilemma in front of him, the only way for Lan Wang is to exercise his hands and honestly pick up his martial arts again.

But where to start?

The experience has told Lan Wang that the more he tries to think at this time, the more confused his mind will become. Instead, it is appropriate to divert your attention or simply take a break. At this time, the sun had just set, and there was still a long time before it was time to go to bed, and it was too early to lie down and sleep. This thing may not be beneficial to one's leg, but it is absolutely harmless to calm the mind and empty the brain.

Even if it's a scammer, what is left behind is not for nothing.

"Traditional Chinese medicine says that five minutes of serious meditation can catch up with one hour of deep sleep. Today, I'm going to see if there is any scientific basis for this statement. While thinking, he broke the silence and said to Lan Xin, who had been standing quietly beside him, "Xin'er, I'm going to close my eyes and rest for a while, don't disturb me, and don't let anyone in." ”

The little maid who had just been reprimanded and didn't even dare to take a breath of air now was really pitiful, and she had been mentally stimulated so many times in just one pillar of incense. Hearing that the little young master, who had been bedridden for a long time, taciturn, childish and innocent, and had not yet been enlightened, suddenly opened his mouth like a little adult and spoke to her in a tone she had never heard before, she was completely overwhelmed for a while, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, her two petite hands wrung uneasily in front of her, and her mouth just responded mechanically: "Yes... It's the young master! ”

Lan Wang didn't care at all at this time - anyway, the thank you just now had already made it exposed, so it didn't itch if there were more lice and didn't worry about more debts. However, at this time, he had already recited the mantra and entered a meditative state, of course, it was impossible for him to know that no one in the entire Lan family mansion had called Lan Xin "Xin'er" in the past, not even her own parents.

It turned out that the realm of meditation was more subtle than Lan Wang had anticipated.

After closing his eyes, he stared directly at the darkness in front of him. As the mantra worked, he felt his mind begin to slow down and become ethereal, his thoughts were gradually emptied, and the troubles that had been weighing heavily on his heart just now gradually disappeared without a trace. Time passed by his fingers little by little, and slowly, Lan Wang could not even "see" the darkness in front of him completely - that experience, as if his various senses had been completely closed. The brain unconsciously forgets the darkness it felt when it just closed its eyes, and the darkness gradually turned into chaos. In the end, all that remains in front of me and in my heart is nothingness, nothingness, nothingness, colorlessness. The concept of time was also blurred, but at a certain moment, a thought suddenly floated in Lan Wang's mind: Is he back to when Hongmeng first opened? Before the formation of heaven and earth, was this world the same as it is now in my consciousness? Could it be that just by meditating, adults can explore their own soul inward and communicate with the world and the present?

The next moment this thought arose, Lan Wang "woke up".

The time seemed like a long time, but only half an hour had passed, and the light outside the window had just completely faded, and the night had just fallen.

He stretched and turned his head to look at the wall, where Lan Xin was still standing, but the tiredness was written on her little face. When she saw the young master wake up, she quickly cheered up and came over to serve tea and pour water for the young master.

"No one came in just now, did they?"

"Back to the young master, no. The lord and aunt all beckoned the subordinates to take care of the lady, but no one had come just now, not even knocking on the door. ”

"That's good."

Lan Wang now dared to conclude that this little girl had subconsciously begun to gradually accept and even adapt to her master's abnormality. After all, no matter how old the young master is, it is still within the scope of normal people's understanding, not to mention that the little maid herself is still a child, and her thinking is far more malleable than that of adults, and it is easier to self-hypnosis.

He reached out and picked up the small tweezers, wanting to add a little tea to himself. The maid was terrified to grab the tweezers: "Young master, what are you doing here?" Let the servant come! ”

The next second, she was speechless in shock.

Just by holding it carelessly, Lan Wang's fingers had already pinched and bent the iron tweezers.
