Chapter 21: Atai's Memories
"Xuan'er, are you back?" came Grandpa Atai's voice outside the door.
"Well, it's back grandpa. Xu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Grandpa Atai, I have something I want to ask you." ”
"I'll go back to my house first, and you can come over later. Grandpa Atai slowly paced out of the house, and although he was curious, he didn't ask when he saw that Xu Xuan had no intention of mentioning it.
"Brother Xuan, then I'll go and prepare the meal first. After saying that, he left thoughtfully.
Da Hei yelled at Xu Xuan twice and then stepped out first, Yun Bai was silent, he had already decided not to say it yet, but he forgot that there was someone here who might also know, so how much did he know? Yun Bai was entangled and curious at the same time.
Xu Xuan walked outside Grandpa Atai's house and knocked on the door: "Grandpa, I'm in." ”
Pushing open the door, Grandpa Atai was sitting at the table, his hands trembling and touching a white cloth bag with a blue background. He saw Xu Xuan sitting beside him, and said with emotion: "It's finally this day." ”
Xu Xuan moved the corners of his mouth, but did not speak, Grandpa Atai looked at Xu Xuan with excitement: "Xuan'er, you have finally become an instrumentaturist, and I can finally speak." Grandpa Atai closed his eyes, and he remembered the past, the first time he met his master, and the days when he got along with his master later.
He was originally named Wang Tai, and after following the master, he followed the master's surname as Ling Tai, but he never asked Xu Xuan to call him Grandpa Atai, and before he found that person, he didn't have the face to use the surname Ling.
When he was seven years old, his father and mother suddenly suffered misfortune, and his relatives said that he was a bad star, and no one was willing to help him. He can only wander the streets and alleys, and he can only rely on luck to pick up a little thing every day to fill his stomach.
For a day or two, I endured the white eyes and ridicule of others every day, chewing leftovers.
"Phew, it's really bad luck to see someone asking for food when I just opened the store. The man's saliva spat at his feet, and he couldn't help curling up, another day was coming, and another day was a muddy day.
Atai walked without a purpose, the anger, grievances, and shame at the beginning were gone, and it was good to be gone, and it was good to pick up those unformed things without thinking about anything, and to say thank you without eating what others threw at him.
The old self is long gone, and he thinks that my name will also be gone, replaced by "begging for food".
He turned an alley and lay down under the eaves of the building on the bank of the river, and he remembered the days when his father and mother were still there, and he closed his eyes and stopped thinking about food, so hungry, so hungry that he could see his father and mother when he closed his eyes.
But someone disturbed him when he was about to see his father, and when he woke up, he was already in an unknown residence.
He did not have the joy of rebirth after being rescued, he stared at the house with anger, he was lying on a large crimson wooden bed, covered with an orchid dark pattern silk quilt, the head of the bed was engraved with birds and flowers, the bed was hung with a red silk tent, the wind moved slightly, as if entering a strange space, he looked down at himself, his clothes had already been changed into a white clean silk robe, and some of the abrasions on his body were also carefully medicated, he got out of bed, at this time the door opened, he raised his head, his skin was better than snow, The beautiful and elegant girl smiled slightly, and the slightly swaying green willow outside the door formed a beautiful picture......
The girl who later became his master was named Ling Qingxi, and she was also the mother Xu Xuan had never met.
Ah Tai looked at Xu Xuan in front of him, unconsciously he was already sixteen, he smiled exactly like his mother, Xu Xuan had not condensed the soul of the instrument before, but Ah Tai was not worried, he was her child, it was impossible for him to become an instrument master.
You must know that she is the genius of their "Qing" generation, and when she meets that amazing genius, their children will definitely be the pride of the sky.
It's just a pity that Xu Xuan hasn't seen his father and mother since he was a child, and he has been cultivating hard, if it weren't for that, Xu Xuan would have received help from the clan, instead of cultivating alone like now.
But that matter, Atai doesn't plan to talk to him now, the same consideration as Yunbai, he is too weak, and not telling is the protection of him.
Ah Tai sorted out his emotions and slowly spoke to Xu Xuan: "The contents of this cloth bag are also gifts left by your mother for you after you become an instrumenter. ”
Sure enough, Grandpa Atai really knew about his father's mother, and he just wanted to ask, but Grandpa Atai motioned to Xu Xuan to open the cloth bag first.
The cloth bag is not big, and when it is opened, it is a book, Xu Xuan picks it up and flips through it, this is a secret book of its own law.
"There should be boxing techniques in the codex left to you by your father, and you can play more freely with the soul silk boxing gloves, which is a secret book of body methods, which can be greatly beneficial to the enemy. ”
Xu Xuan relied on the impossible dodge when facing the enemy before, if he had a body technique, he could attack more unexpectedly, and he could also dodge better, which was exactly what Xu Xuan lacked at present.
"I used to be your mother's servant. Grandpa Atai recalled the past and smiled: "Although I can't become an instrumentalist, your mother has also found exercises for me that are suitable for ordinary people to cultivate, so that my body can still be so strong." After speaking, he looked at Xu Xuan kindly: "Xuan'er, you must be very curious about your father's affairs, but I don't know much, now you are too weak, I don't know that it is good for you." ”
Xu Xuan understood that Grandpa Atai didn't tell him about his hard work, for fear that what he would bear too much would not be conducive to his cultivation, but for Xu Xuan, reuniting with his father and mother was what he longed for, as a child, he was destined to be born with a lot of burdens, which was also what he should bear as a child.
"Grandpa Atai, I've grown up, and I understand your hard work, but as their child, can I just wait where I am? Knowing what happened to my father and mother will not affect me, but will make me understand what I should do, and that is what I must do, so, Grandpa Atai, please tell me." ”
Looking at Xu Xuan's firm gaze, Ah Tai's eyes were hot, I haven't seen this kind of fiery and firm gaze for a long time, master, your child has grown up.
Yun Bai looked at this and didn't speak, Xu Xuan didn't hide anything today and came to see Grandpa Atai in front of him, and he didn't treat him as an outsider, maybe the protection he thought before was not important, the eagle would fly into the sky after all, and Xu Xuan was the same, what he needed was not protection, but the answer.
Atai's mouth moved, and he finally made up his mind: "Xuan'er, it's good that you understand my hard work, I have one condition, if you can complete it, I will tell you everything I know." ”
Xu Xuan nodded, he would do it no matter what the conditions, and today he was excited to know the relationship between Grandpa Atai and his mother, and he would not give up the idea of continuing to inquire about anything.
Ah Tai looked at the scrappy Xu Xuan and nodded secretly: "If you can get a place to enter the Riyan Academy, then I will tell you." ”
"Haha, okay, Grandpa Atai, it's a word. Xu Xuan was overjoyed, he already had the intention of competing for that place, so it seemed that he had to get this place.
Atai turned around and took out a piece of tissue paper from the bedside, "This is also left by your mother, in addition to the soul itself, the spiritual power in the brain also needs to be strengthened, but many artists do not have the talent in this area, I didn't want to take it to you so early, but if you can comprehend it in the past few days, it will also increase the grasp of obtaining the quota." Ah Tai watched Xu Xuan ecstatically accept the tissue paper and the secret book of the body method, and after thanking him, he kept looking for a place to understand.
"Grandpa Atai, the meal is ready, where did Brother Xuan go?" As soon as Wan'er came out of the fire room, he saw Xu Xuan hurriedly walking away.
"Hey, he's got more important things. Ah Tai touched his beard and looked at Xu Xuan who was far away, and thought with emotion: "Master, although he is only like a fledgling now, I feel that the day when your mother and son will get together should not be far away." ”
