Chapter 2: The Family Situation (1)
Xufu is directly east of Surabaya City, taking the meaning of purple gas from the east. It consists of three square courtyards that occupy an extremely wide area and are connected together to form a three-courtyard mansion. This is the standard architectural layout with "ceremony" as the core, paying attention to the difference between inside and outside, respecting the left, the depth of the mansion, and the number of courtyards represent power and wealth.
Xu Jun didn't ride a horse or a carriage when he went out. For him, taking a walk in this otherworld late at night has a special charm, but unfortunately Xiao Qi doesn't feel this way. The two walked for a full pillar of incense and returned to Xu's mansion. Just about to knock on the door, the housekeeper Fulai opened the door and respectfully welcomed Xu Jun into the house.
Xu Jun smiled bitterly, he really couldn't figure out what special functions Fulai had. No matter when he returns home, Fulai will wait for him at the door, could it be that the other party has the ability to predict the future?
"Third young master, the master is waiting for you in the room."
The master in Fulai's mouth is the patriarch Xu Zhiqiao, and he is also Xu Jun's biological father in this life. Xu Jun nodded and strode towards the study.
Xu Jun didn't understand why Xu Zhiqiao was looking for him, since he woke up, he had only seen Xu Zhiqiao twice, and each time he passed by in a hurry, and he never talked alone. He walked to the door of the study with some trepidation, and was just about to knock on the door when he heard Xu Zhiqiao's voice: "The door is not closed, push the door in by yourself." ”
Xu Jun took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked into the house. He is not afraid of swords and blood, but he really doesn't know how to get along with his parents.
The faint smell of burnt paper filled the air, making the air in the room a little choking. The room is divided into two rooms, and the furnishings are very simple, one room inside has a large bed, and the outside room is full of books, like a study.
Xu Zhiqiao sat at a table, looking down at some twists and turns. When he saw Xu Jun walking in, he didn't raise his head to speak, but every time he finished watching a recital, he would throw it into a brazier next to his feet.
The raging flames kept rising, and whenever the flames were about to be extinguished, Xu Zhiqiao happened to throw them into the brazier after watching the music. There were thousands of folds on the table, Xu Jun frowned, stood aside obediently, and did not make a sound to disturb Xu Zhiqiao.
However, I have never eaten pork and seen a pig run, although Xu Jun did not grow up in this era, it does not mean that he does not understand anything. The fold is something that the emperor can see, and after the instructions are completely useless, they will be sent to the celebrant for destruction, and they are not allowed to leak at all, how can it be in the hands of Xu Zhiqiao? He had a faint sense of foreboding that his happy life as a gentleman might not be as peaceful as it seemed.
After about two teas, Xu Zhiqiao finally finished reading the recital. He threw the last piece into the brazier, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said: "Lao Tzu is hard and busy, but the son is spending all day drinking outside, what kind of system." ”
Xu Jun glanced at the brazier emitting black smoke, raised his head and said, "Father is so capable, what else do you need the child to do?" ”
Xu Zhiqiao put down the teacup and said: "Don't pretend to be cynical in front of your Lao Tzu, what kind of person you are is a father knows very well." ”
Xu Zhiqiao's eyes pierced Xu Jun's heart like two sharp arrows, and Xu Jun suddenly felt that he had no secrets like a girl who had stripped her clothes, and was uneasy.
"In a few days, my father will go far away, and your grandfather will take care of the house. You're sixteen years old, and there are some things I should let you know. ”
Xu Jun frowned, muttering in his heart, not knowing what Xu Zhiqiao wanted to say.
Xu Zhiqiao sighed and said: "A thousand years ago, our Xu family was a famous martial arts family in Great Qin, with many capable people, and there were even masters of the Soul Realm. But three hundred years ago, your ancestors obtained a book of ancient peerless exercises, the Golden Guan Yu Lock Technique. The news leaked, a large number of masked masters flocked to it, and the Xu family suffered a catastrophe. At that time, your grandfather was only one year old, and he was still in swaddling clothes, and an old slave carried him to hide in the secret passage, and narrowly escaped with his life, and the golden Guan Yu lock was also retained. ”
But unexpectedly, this set of exercises was incomplete, and two pages were torn away, and the second layer of mantras was missing, and it became a pile of waste paper. Your second uncle forcibly cultivated the incomplete Jinguan Yu Lock Technique, so that he went mad and fell unconscious, while your father has been secretly looking for the missing two pages of exercises and the true identities of those masked people. ”
When Xu Zhiqiao's words fell, Xu Jun's complexion changed, once you know many things, don't want to stay out of it. He knew that his happy life as a gentleman was coming to an end, but he really didn't want to pay attention to these rights and wrongs. But he understood that it was useless to escape, Xu Zhiqiao was checking the true identity of the masked people, and the masked people would let the Xu family go. Even if Xu Zhiqiao handed over this golden jade lock recipe, those people would definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"What do you want me to do?" Xu Jun sighed and said.
"It's very simple, although the Golden Guan Yu Lock Technique is incomplete, it is a peerless technique after all, as long as you cultivate to the first level, you can have the ability to protect yourself. From today onwards, you have to devote yourself to cultivating this skill, find out the true identity of those masked people, find the missing second layer of the golden Guan Yu lock formula, and revive the prestige of the Xu family. ”
"Why me?" Xu Jun frowned and was quite puzzled, in terms of talent, Xu Yun, the eldest young master of the Xu family, was a hundred times stronger than him. In terms of ambition, the second young master Xu Feng has always wanted to become the next patriarch of the family, how could he choose him, a gentleman who just wants to eat and wait for death?
"Although your eldest brother Xu Yun is talented, he is too aggressive, once he impulsively uses the golden guanyu lock trick, it will inevitably attract the attention of people with a heart and cause a big disaster for the Xu family. Although your cousin Xu Feng is ambitious, he is arrogant and stupid, and he can't achieve great things. Only you are different, you have been in the market for a long time, and it is most suitable to find out the news. And you seem to be cynical, but in fact you are extremely measured. The most important thing is that no one cares about a gentleman, and I am more relieved to hand over this cheats to you. ”
"Damn, is this fucking praising me or hurting me?" Xu Jun blinked, and couldn't help but protest in his heart.
"Father, you think too highly of me, I'm just a gentleman, I can't bear the heavy responsibility of the family, you should give this peerless magic to others."
Xu Jun hurriedly shirked it, he didn't want to take this hot potato. In the previous life, he fought enough, and in this life, he really didn't want to face the bloody storm again. Besides, there are countless beauties waiting for him to save, how can he give up the entire peach forest for a few broken papers.
"When a country or a nation is in danger, there will always be someone who stands up, and this is fate. Since you have become a descendant of the Xu family, no matter whether you are right or wrong, you have been chosen by fate and cannot escape. ”
When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, Xu Jun understands the truth that there are no eggs under the nest. But he is really unwilling to get involved in these rights and wrongs, and I hope that something will never happen to the Xu family. Otherwise, he would have to turn back into that bloody outlaw on the streets again.
"Since the father has decided, the only thing to be a son is obedience. I'll put this cheats first, when does my father want me to return you. ”
"No need to return it, this is a manuscript."
"Damn." Xu Jun was completely speechless, he had expected this to be the case. But after tossing in the middle of the night, he was also a little tired, he returned to his room with the secret of Jin Guan Yu's lock trick, and the oil lamp was not lit, so he took off his clothes and got into the bed.
"Huh? What's so soft, it feels good, could it be that Xiao Qi took the initiative to give it to him, then hahaha. Xu Jun opened his eyes excitedly, only to see a huge, white head, which was only a few millimeters away from the tip of his nose, and emitted a disgusting smell of garlic, Xu Jun was shocked.
"Holy,." As soon as Xu Jun was excited, he punched twice at the head.
The screams sounded, and the head suddenly opened its mouth and said, "Don't fight, cousin, don't fight, it's me." ”
Xu Jun stopped, hurriedly lit the fuel lamp, and saw a short and chubby girl wearing only **, with half a pound of flour on her face, appearing in front of him.
The girl is Xu Jun's cousin, and she just arrived at Xu's house this afternoon. She rubbed her dark eyes and said, "Cousin, why are you beating me?" ”
Xu Jun was shocked, and said angrily: "Uncle, what are you doing in my bed in the middle of the night, and you are still like a ghost, I won't beat you or anyone." ”
"Cousin, why do you say that. When you were twelve, you lied to people about eating candy in the room, and you ended up putting people in the house. You said that you would be responsible and marry someone else. ”
Xu Jun shivered and chilled, such a special product can be served, this is too fucking heavy taste, absolutely special lovers.
"This cousin, I think you may have misunderstood, how can I take a fancy to you, a big fat girl. Your honor will scare others when you come out at night, so it's better to go back to bed early. ”
"Cousin, why don't you live like this?" After the fat cousin finished speaking, she hid her face and cried, put on her clothes and rushed out of Xu Jun's door.
Xu Jun sighed and said, "If I had grown like you, I would have stopped living a long time ago." ”
Xu Jun closed the door and continued to sleep. Unexpectedly, just after falling asleep, I remembered the knock on the door again.
