Chapter 9: A day of ups and downs
In the courtyard, there were only two people left, and the Great Elder turned around and looked at Meng Chen with a blank expression, "Meng Chen, are you guilty?"
"What's the crime?" Meng Chen didn't understand what the Great Elder was talking about.
"Hmph, I still want to pretend to be garlic, the martial spirit realm can absorb spiritual energy and turn it into spiritual power, how can the strength be tempered and resisted by the fifth fold, even if you have the spirit pattern in your hand, if you really start to do it, you have already died in Huangquan, and the old man is present, otherwise the Meng family will suffer heavy losses, do you know?" the Great Elder said angrily.
Meng Chen's brows furrowed, his eyes became vigilant against the Great Elder, and he was secretly shocked in his heart! How could the Great Elder know that I had a spirit pattern. The Great Elder noticed his gaze and snorted coldly, "Do you think the old man is rare in your spirit patterns?"
After speaking, the wrinkled right hand stretched out, and a green spirit pattern hovered in the palm of his hand, and the spiritual power emitted infected the plants in the courtyard, all of which were suddenly full of vitality, and it felt that the power was several times stronger than Meng Chen's earth spirit pattern.
"It's ...... Wood Spirit Pattern!" Meng Chen exclaimed!
"Hmph...... Count you as a little insightful. The Great Elder was still a little angry.
"Uh~hehe...... Great Elder, this ...... I didn't mean that just now. Meng Chen was embarrassed, he thought that the Great Elder was going to plot against him, but now he was too careful.
"Hmph! Is it the old man who knows it in his own heart? The Great Elder glared at Meng Chen angrily, kindly treating it as a donkey's liver and lungs, whoever encounters this kind of thing will feel uncomfortable.
"I ...... This...... The younger generation is guilty. Meng Chen had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger, he clenched his fists and lowered his head, and glanced up at the Great Elder from time to time, and the embarrassment did not fade.
After this atmosphere lasted for more than ten breaths, the Great Elder saw Meng Chen's embarrassed face, laughed secretly in his heart, and then sighed, "That's it, if you can't get along with a junior, if you are seen, you will say that the old man is narrow-minded." ”
"But...... Meng Chen, the old man would like to remind you, in this world, don't underestimate or despise a person, and don't judge people by their appearance, some people seem to be weak on the outside, but in fact, they are deeply hidden, when you have the idea of despising this kind of person, it may be the most fatal blow to yourself!" The Great Elder said meaningfully.
Hearing these words, Meng Chen was silent, deeply touched, and his heart fluctuated, and after a long time, he said, "Thank you Great Elder for your guidance, Meng Chen remembers it in his heart." ”
The Great Elder smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "Hmm...... Fools can be taught, but then again, how do you control the Earth Spirit Pattern?"
"It's okay. Meng Chen scratched his head and said humbly.
"Release the spirit pattern and show it to the old man," the Great Elder said with a smile as he touched his beard.
"This ...... All right. Meng Chen hesitated, but he thought about it, the Great Elder naturally had no malicious intentions, so why hide it, so he concentrated his energy, and with a muffled snort, the Earth Spirit Pattern instantly appeared from the surface of his body, all over his body, dazzling, and the Great Elder was so shocked that he even tore off the hand that was originally stroking his beard, and he couldn't calm down for a long time!
Meng Chen was very puzzled when he saw the Great Elder's surprised look, "Is my spirit pattern so exaggerated?"
"It's not just an exaggeration, it's terrifying. The Great Elder said very excitedly, then walked quickly to Meng Chen and grabbed his hands, "You are seventeen this year, right?"
"Hmm," Meng Chen nodded.
"Haha...... Great, really good, the rise of our Meng family is just around the corner!" The Great Elder suddenly laughed as if he was crazy, and Meng Chen looked confused.
The Great Elder looked at Meng Chen excitedly again, and asked in a gentle tone, "Are you willing to win glory for the Meng family?"
Meng Chen responded without hesitation: "The juniors are willing." ”
Because, this is an opportunity to repay the Meng family, after all, he took someone else's ancestral heirloom.
When the Great Elder heard that he was willing, his hands trembled with joy, Meng Chen didn't know why he was so excited, he only knew that he took out a hairpin from his chest, and gently stroked the hairpin stripes with his right hand, as if stroking a woman's hair, his eyes were full of affection, and he said to himself, "Lanxi~"
The voice is monotonous, but full of emotion!
The Great Elder looked up at Meng Chen and asked in a pleading tone, "Can you grant the old man's request?" ”
"As long as I can, the Great Elder will say it's okay. Meng Chen didn't agree directly, because there are some things that can't be done by agreeing.
"Okay, this hairpin is a token of my love affair with another woman, just help me pass it to her when the time comes. The Great Elder handed it to Meng Chen, but Meng Chen didn't take it directly.
"Where is she?"
"Tian Yuan Peak!"
"Tianyuan Peak!" Meng Chen's face was solemn, he touched his chin and thought, judging from another memory, Tianyuan Peak is one of the three major sects in the Imperial Prefecture, with strong strength, and there are tens of millions of disciples in total, could it be that the Great Elder wants me to participate in the election in more than two months?
Seeing that Meng Chen was silent, the Great Elder frowned slightly, and said, "Tianyuan Peak is a cultivation place that the world dreams of, don't you still dislike it?"
"No, no, no, how can the younger generation dislike it, it's just that the number of places in each family is limited, and my cultivation is slightly low, so I feel a little powerless!" Meng Chen explained.
"Then you can rest assured, the old man has his own way, but your cultivation must be improved, and the position of the chief of the coming-of-age ceremony must also be taken, which is not only the key to dissolving your sister's marriage, but also the key to the election quota, do you understand?" said the Great Elder cautiously.
"Understood" Speaking of his sister's marriage, Meng Chen immediately decided.
"Okay! Her name is Lan Xi, and she gives the hairpin to the old man to hold. The Great Elder handed it directly to Meng Chen, without any hesitation, and his intuition told him that Meng Chen would not let him down.
Meng Chen took back the storage Dai Zhong and said firmly, "I will hand it over to her with my own hands." ”
"Hmm" The Great Elder smiled and nodded, and then said, "Ten days later, I will go to the humble house and walk with the old man to auction the building, and there will be an unexpected good thing for you at that time." ”
"Hmm" Meng Chen agreed on the spot, how could he refuse to send good things to the door?
Then the Great Elder rose into the air and dropped a bag, "There is a spirit grass in here, refine it carefully, don't be in a hurry, if there is anything, just come to the old man." ”
After leaving a word, the Great Elder was gone.
Meng Chen retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "The Great Elder's shot is really generous, but it is also, the master of the Martial Spirit Realm, the elixir such as the quenching body is useless at all, and the elixir on the Great Elder's body is at least the elixir level." ”
After some emotion, he took out the spirit grass in the bag and put it in front of him, showing a faint smile, "Today may be a really good day." ”
Meow~
But he didn't be happy for long, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom again, because the spirit grass in his hand was snatched away by the kitten who jumped out of his chest in a blink of an eye, and the defenseless Meng Chen stopped in place, like petrification, and when he reacted, the spirit grass had been eaten by the kitten!
Meng Chen screamed frantically, grabbed the kitten's two hind legs and fell down, "Damn~ Quickly spit it out for Lao Tzu." ”
Meow~
The little kitten who turned upside down licked his paws with satisfaction, and also burped! Meng Chen was so angry that Meng Chen was outrageous, but the next scene made him let go of his hand, because the kitten's body was wrapped in white light, and this phenomenon showed that the kitten was breaking through.
Airplanes~
Meow~
The white light slowly dissipated, the kitten slowly landed on the ground, Meng Chen looked curious about what would happen to the kitten after the breakthrough, and immediately hugged it, looked at it several times, and found that it was only the grass on the head that grew a little taller and the white fur that turned yellow, and there was not much change.
This made Meng Chen even more angry, "You little guy, don't say anything after eating, it hasn't changed much, see if I don't clean you up." ”
Meng Chen hugged the kitten's body with one hand, slapped its buttocks with one hand, and the kitten meowed indiscriminately, and only let go of his hand after ten hits.
He sighed and said, "Alas~ What can I do about this, even the cultivation resources that the Great Elder gave me are gone, and I could have been happy today." ”
Meow~
The kitten squatting on the ground waved its paws, as if it wanted to attract the owner's attention, but Meng Chen just ignored it and ignored it directly, and the kitten meowed weakly, as if he was very guilty.
Meng Chen had no sympathy, because the cultivation resources were very important to him now, and he couldn't improve the realm, so the certainty of canceling his sister's marriage would be one point less, he glared at the kitten angrily, and said coldly, "You have eaten the spirit grass, we no longer owe each other, you can go." ”
Meow~
The kitten seemed to be able to understand the words, its eyes were teary and pitiful, and it kept meowing, trying to make the owner keep him.
But Meng Chen had made up his mind, thinking about other things, walked back to the room and closed the door hard, and with a bang, the kitten's body trembled, and it meowed sadly several times, as if to say something, and then ran out of the yard.
Meng Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the door panel, gritted his teeth, and his eyes merged again.
At night, the night was dark and windy, and it was raining, although Meng Chen was sitting cross-legged, seemingly cultivating, but in fact he was upset, he opened his eyes and punched the side of the bed, looking very annoying.
The little witch saw his appearance, and sneered, "Bastard, you abandoned it, and now you are depressed, I really don't know what you think." ”
"I want you to take care of it. Meng Chen responded coldly.
"Hmph!" the little witch snorted disdainfully, and then continued to sarcastically, "Alas~ With such a ruthless and unrighteous master, it's really a pity for that little guy, and the storm is still being chased by other spirit beasts outside." ”
When Meng Chen heard this, his fists rattled, and then he lay on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Seeing that Meng Chen was indifferent, the little witch smiled enchantingly and continued: "And so desperately, I don't know if it's for a fire lingzhi or for someone." ”
Meng Chen immediately opened his eyes, looking nervous, "Tell me quickly, where is it now?"
"Hmph! Why did Princess Ben tell you? The little witch said arrogantly.
"Why?" Meng Chen took out the Yin Yang Jade, and then roared, "Just now I am your master!"
......
"Huh...... Master, are you stupid? I can crush you if I go out now, do you believe it or not?" the little witch's face darkened.
"If you want to kill me, you can kill me a long time ago, you think I don't know, you're trapped here and you have to rely on me to get out, if I die, you never want to come out, although I don't know why, but since I met you, I have this premonition. Meng Chen finished speaking in one breath, leaving no room for anything.
The little witch gritted her teeth, her body was black and steaming, and she was obviously moved with killing intent, but this point was indeed said by Meng Chen.
She didn't reply, Meng Chen was anxious, "Tell me the direction quickly, otherwise you won't figure it out for the rest of your life." ”
The little angel was also anxious, and opened his mouth to persuade, "Sister, you can tell the big brother the whereabouts of the little kitten." ”
"Even you speak for him. The little witch turned her head and glared at her sister.
"I ......" The little angel shrank her head with tears in her eyes when she saw her sister's fierce and terrible expression.
When the little witch saw that her sister was afraid of herself, her body shook, "I'm sorry, sister." ”
Woo~
The little angel couldn't help crying, and ran towards the boundless darkness, the little witch clenched the black * skirt with both hands, and then said to Meng Chen outside, "Deep in the mountains behind the Meng family, you can find it yourself" and then chased in the direction of her sister.
Meng Chen, who knew the place, sprinted outside with his legs, no matter what the storm.
