Chapter 13: Meditation
He got up early in the morning, meditated under the tree, had lunch, and began to read in the afternoon, and as soon as it was dark, he climbed into bed.
In this regard, Wang Bing complained a lot, she was a guest invited by Chen Li, but now she was half left to dry.
In the past few days, Pan Yingfeng has come to see him once.
Chen Li sat cross-legged under the tree, looking at Pan Yingfeng, his expression was like a pool of stagnant water, and he was angry when he saw Pan Yingfeng a few days ago, Chen Li thought that he had made a lot of progress.
And Pan Yingfeng seemed to be passing by, glanced at Chen Li, turned around and left, without stopping. On the seventh day of Chen Li's return, on this day, the entire Chen Mansion was busy, anxious to hang lanterns and inlay them with red colors, so that outsiders thought that the Chen Mansion was going to have some happy events.
After asking, I learned that Chen Dongsheng was coming back today. I thought that after so many days of self-cultivation, Chen Li didn't say that he was not shocked in his heart, at least his anger would not be so direct.
But after hearing the name Chen Dongsheng, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart
。 After packing up the scattered books, Chen Li had lunch as usual, went to the ancestral hall to put incense on his mother, and carried a snake gun, Chen Li walked out of the small courtyard.
He didn't stop until he reached the main gate.
All the people of the Chen family have arrived, all the people in the big house and the third room, Chen Li's uncle, that is, the head of the Chen family, he is mixed with a trembling old man.
It was the old lady of the Chen family, I heard that he hadn't walked out of the hall for ten years, and this time in order to welcome Chen Dongsheng home, even he walked out of the old nest.
Chen Li found a pergola, sat down lazily, put the snake gun next to him, and took out a book from his arms, called "General History of the Tang Dynasty".
He didn't mean to come forward to salute, he came here just to wait for someone, the other person he hated to the core.
Maybe someone recognized him, and the Chen family members standing at the city gate all looked at him and whispered a few words to the old lady and the Chen family master, and then he gave two orders with a small servant.
Chen Li didn't pay attention to what they were going to do, and read books by himself. Before he could turn a few pages, he felt someone walk to his side, and when he looked up, it was the head of the Chen family who had just instructed the little guy to bend down, come to Chen Li and say, "Young Master Li, the old lady wants you to come over." ”
Chen Li didn't speak, looked up at the little girl, then turned his head to look at the old lady of the Chen family, and then lowered his head to read.
The little guy stood there, his face full of embarrassment, only to see that Chen Li had no intention of getting up, so he could only go back to report.
The old lady saw that only the little maid came back, and Chen Li was still sitting under the pergola, motionless.
After asking the reason, the old lady was so angry that she straightened the cane in her hand and coughed violently.
The head of the Chen family hurriedly relieved a few words, and looked at the second master of the Chen family, that is, Chen Li's father, Chen Hedi, and asked him to call Chen Li in the past.
For Chen Li, Chen Heren knows a little, he knows that his son doesn't like to talk, but he is extremely rebellious, especially after the death of his concubine, it is even more serious
。 For some reason, he owes too much to his concubine and wants to be kind to Chen Li.
For this reason, he also asked Pan Yingfeng to polish for a few years, and now how he polishes it, the more disobedient he becomes.
Chen Hedi's face turned red with anger, he strode under the pergola, and yelled at Chen Li: "Rebel, the master called you over, didn't you hear?"
I thought that after he came over, Chen Li would go with him because of the etiquette.
But this is not the case, Chen Li raised his head, and with the eyes he had just looked at Xiaowu, he looked at Chen He for the first time, and then buried his head in reading again.
"You...... You ......" Chen Hedi raised his hand and wanted Chen Li to slap him, but his hand hung in the air and did not fall for a long time, "You are determined to die of anger." ”
"That's the old lady, as a junior of the Chen family, why don't you go over to see the ceremony?" Chen Hedi shouted.
Chen Li raised his head lazily again and looked at Chen Hedi, this time he Chen Hedi knew what Chen Li meant by saying these words, and to speak, this was also his problem.
If he had been tougher, he wouldn't have so many problems now.
Originally, he planned to teach Chen Li a lesson, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips, so he could only sigh heavily and walk away.
When he returned to the Chen family, Chen Hetian hurriedly asked him, but Chen Hedi just shook his head and did not speak.
Chen Li was a little far away and didn't hear what they said, but Chen Hetian wanted to come over angrily, but was stopped by Chen Hedi.
Seeing that everything was clear, Chen Li opened the book again and waited for the person he was waiting for.
After a long time, from Zhengyang to the west, Chen Dongsheng was still not seen.
Everyone in the Chen family was already waiting a little anxiously, but no one was impatient.
After all, Chen Dongsheng has been away from home for ten years, and everyone wants to see what this Chen family Tianjiao has grown up to now.
Chen Li is different from them, now it's time to eat, it's time to eat, this is a habit that has been cultivated in the past seven days.
In front of the nearby stall, he bought a bowl of noodles, squatted back in the corner of the pergola, and Chen Li ate it in a big gulp.
did not avoid the disdain thrown by the Chen family's Dongzi generation at all.
Just when the sun was red and about to set, the refugees outside the city suddenly stirred, and the discussion was so loud that everyone in the city could hear it clearly. Chen Li looked in the direction of the sun, and a small black dot appeared there, which was very eye-catching.
He knew that the person he was waiting for was coming.
Unhurriedly ate the few remaining noodles in the bowl, gave the bowl to the stall owner, he took the snake gun, and immediately stood in the street before anyone arrived, and the words had already gone first.
This poem that wants to be said to be closed sang in people's hearts a hundred times and thousands of times, and the black dots slowly flew in, and it turned out to be a sword holding a sloppy Taoist flying.
Originally, flying in the sky gave people the first sense of being a fairy, but the sloppy Taoist destroyed the tall image in people's hearts.
landed on the ground, holding the sword of the Taoist and returning to the scabbard on his own.
After the Taoist landed, the strong smell of alcohol suddenly spread far away, causing pedestrians on the street to cover their noses and flee.
Even Chen Li was so far away that he could smell a strong smell.
The Taoist was in rags, and his robe was full of oil, and he couldn't tell what color it was.
Untied the gourd from his waist and took a big sip of what was inside, and if I guessed correctly, it should be wine.
He drank in a hurry, and the wine dripped down his beard, which had grown for many years, and when he came, he wiped the wine off his beard with his cuffs, shook his messy hair, and said loudly: "Good wine!"
Then he looked at the place where the Chen family was standing, and laughed madly: "There are so many crazy people, you look so terrible, you don't look like people." ”
Pan Yingfeng saw the Taoist and said with a wry smile: "Dongsheng my son, I have suffered you outside, hurry up and go home with my mother to wash, change clothes, and sober up." ”
As she spoke, she was about to step forward to pull Chen Dongsheng's hand, but Chen Dongsheng didn't appreciate it, shook his hand, staggered back a few steps, and said vaguely: "Who are you, I don't know you, I'll tell you, stay away from me, otherwise don't blame Daoye's sword for being merciless." ”
Who can recognize this as Chen Jiatianjiao, Chen Dongsheng, in his thirties, is at the age of standing, but he is a drunkard, dressed more like a flower.
The jaws of Chen Jiadong's generation are about to fall to the ground, which is still the high-spirited Tianjiao in Yuezhou City at the beginning.
If it weren't for Pan Yingfeng stepping forward to greet him, they wouldn't dare to make Chen Li very curious, when Chen Dongsheng left, he was still young, and he only remembered that every time he came to his mother, he was drunk.
But it's not like it is now, and it's a live one called Hanako
。 Chen Dongsheng shook off Pan Yingfeng, crossed the Chen family, and said to himself as he walked: "Dao Ye returned to his hometown this time to pay tribute to the old man, yes! ”
Seeing Chen Dongsheng's staggering appearance, Pan Yingfeng was distressed and hurriedly caught up.
But he didn't want Chen Dongsheng to suddenly pull out the long sword in his sheath and slash at Pan Yingfeng's feet
A huge sword slashed out from the sword, marking a sword mark between him and the Chen family.
The current Chen Dongsheng still has the same depressed appearance as before, his sharp eyes are straight to people's hearts, just looking at him standing there makes people's eyes hurt.
"I don't know you, so it's better not to come along, or my sword will really kill people. ”
After speaking, Chen Dongsheng staggered forward again, and the Chen family and the people of the character generation and the old lady could only shake their heads frequently when they saw this scene.
Chen Dongsheng didn't walk fast, and it took a lot of time to walk in front of Chen Li.
At this time, Chen Li moved, and the snake spear slashed forward, hitting Chen Dongsheng's throat.
"Chen Dongsheng, do you remember me. Chen Li's eyes were red, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to swallow the person in front of him alive.
Everyone in the Chen family who was left behind took a step forward nervously, and Pan Yingfeng and Chen Hedi were even more pale and almost rushed forward.
"You ......"
Chen Dongsheng's eyes were misty, he pointed at Chen Li, and shook his recognition.
In the end, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "I remember, you are Chen Li, when I left, you were so tall, no, so tall." ”
He gestured with his hand randomly, remembering Chen Li's height. Just looking at him like that, no matter how you look at it, he is a typical drunkard maniac, which makes people feel the same when they look at it.
He didn't remember Pan Yingfeng and these people, but he only remembered that after Chen Du was sure that the person in front of him was Chen Li, Chen Dongsheng turned around and pointed out all the people present with his sword.
"Chen Li, you tell me, has anyone bullied you here, tell me, I'll chop off his head and give it to you as a night pot. ”
And Chen Licai didn't care about Chen Dongsheng's crazy words, and shouted angrily: "Do you know that my mother died because of your behavior. ”
Hearing Chen Li's words, Chen Dongsheng was stunned, his body no longer shook, and he lowered his head.
The pedestrians on the street seemed to have heard something terrible, and began to talk about it.
Old lady Chen was so anxious that she put on her crutches and said, "Old Zhao, clear the street!"
An old housekeeper behind him bowed down and took the Chen family's little servant to drive everyone on the street away.
After everyone dispersed, only the Chen family and the servants were left on the street. Chen Dongsheng, who was against the snake spear, was trembling all over, and two drops of crystal liquid were dripping on the ground.
His long, messy hair obscured his face, and he couldn't tell if the dripping liquid was tears or what.
"Yes, everyone was killed by me, why did I come back?"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Dongsheng sang with his feet, jumped into the sky, sang the poem when he came, and disappeared into the sky.
"Tick!"
"To trigger the system task and become an invincible hero in the world, you must first take the first step and become the first place in the family competition, and the task reward: a trick breaking pill. ”
Chen Li didn't pay attention to the electric synthesized sound that suddenly appeared in his head, but looked at the direction in which Chen Dongsheng disappeared.
In a voice that only he could hear, he said, "What kind of person are you, what happened back then." Am I wrong, or is it the way it is?"
After seeing Chen Dongsheng, Chen Li's revenge began to shake the fifteenth day of August in the Tang calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the city of Yuezhou was lively at this time. On Yuezhou Square, four high platforms have been set up at this time for the ancestral tablets of the four major families.
In the center of the square, there is a quadrangular tripod, the four major families, Chen, Ou, Zhang, Wu four heads side by side in front of the tripod, holding a few pillars of green incense in their hands.
The four masters held incense above their heads and respectfully bowed down to the high platform.
Incense was put on sequentially.
This incense order is also interesting, and Chen Hetian is in first place.
This Yuezhou City is led by the four major families, there must always be a backbone, the Chen family sits in this position, among the four major families, the strongest is the Chen family.
Behind the wheel were the group of Chen Jiadong's generation, and the young children of the other three families who were going to participate in the big competition.
After everyone was next to each other and the incense was applied, Chen Hetian turned around, opened his hands to the sky, and sang loudly: "The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens begins!"
Under his order, the people of the four major families all moved, and each walked to his own high platform, following his own sacrificial rules.
Chen Li hid in a shady corner, holding a book and reading there.
Chen Hedi came to persuade him and asked him to participate in the sacrifice to the heavens, but he still used the same rhetoric a few days ago, so that Chen Hedi had nothing to say.
There is no Chen Li in the Chen family's genealogy, why should he participate, those ancestors on the high platform have nothing to do with him now.
In addition to reading, he was also observing the people around him.
Today is an irregular event in Yuezhou, making an exception to let the refugees from the thirteen cities outside the city also enter the city to watch
