Chapter 12: Return to Muxiang Town
In the late autumn season, the wind and frost are noble, the water falls and the stone comes out, the vast Muxiang River is still raging and rushing, and the blue waves of the river flow eastward without returning.
By the river, there was a wretched figure, with broken clothes and wounds. The skin and flesh turned outward, a little white from the river blistering, and the red blood was still oozing.
This person is Ye Tian.
When he opened his eyes, the autumn mood turned into a refreshing coldness, which went straight to his heart, Ye Tian shuddered, and said secretly: "I didn't die like this, it seems that I really have a big fate." ”
When he was unconscious before, Ye Tian still had a shallow consciousness to retain, and he remembered everything that happened in a daze.
Stretching out his hand, his eyes fell on the plain handkerchief, and a wave that had never been seen before shook in Ye Tianxin Lake.
"Peerless ......"
After muttering in a low voice and folding the handkerchief into his arms, Ye Tian began to meditate cross-legged.
"The Jade Bone Pill is made with thirty-six kinds of demon beast essence blood, combined with ground muscles and bones, after a cultivator who cultivates the Qi Realm takes it, unless the soul is damaged, all other external injuries can be healed within a day. It's just that even my meridians collapsed this time, and the severity of my injuries is far from being cured by two Wai Dan......"
Feeling the situation in his body, a touch of gloom flashed on Ye Tian's face, and he was immediately replaced by excitement.
"Even if the meridians are destroyed, I can't give up! I still have time, and my father is still waiting for me!"
Thinking of this, Ye Tian only felt that his broken body had given birth to strong strength in vain.
With the medicinal power of the Jade Bone Pill, Ye Tian's physical injuries had stopped deteriorating, and after meditating for half a day, he regained a lot of strength.
Looking at the scars on the surface of his body, there were a few like hideous centipedes, crawling all over his body, but Ye Tian did not have the slightest resistance.
Compared with the previous Lingering Breath, the current situation is already heaven-good.
"Let's go back first. ”
Standing up and seeing the direction of Muxiang Town from a distance, Ye Tian walked quickly.
Muxiang Town, the town lord's mansion, is in full swing at this time.
Many men and women crowded outside the wide martial arts arena, looking at the dozens of energetic teenagers in the field.
The old mayor stood in front of these young men, looking at the immature faces with a satisfied look on his face.
A month ago, the five-year Confucian selection began, and three people in the small Muxiang Town passed the selection and entered the Confucian outer sect to practice. Later, with the efforts of Ouyang Pu, the senior brother of the mayor of the town and one of the three sages of Confucianism today, Confucianism made an exception for the first time and conducted a second selection.
Confucianism is one of the six famous sects in Central and South China, and it is a great immortal fate to be able to enter it. After receiving the news, those teenagers who did not pass the selection of Confucianism put into practicing harder, hoping to be selected by the immortal chief this time.
Next to the old mayor, Ye Wen, who was dressed in a literary shirt, looked at the teenagers in front of him and sighed in his heart:
"It's been nearly two months since Tian'er left, and I don't know what happens now, but the disease can be completely eliminated?"
Ye Wen was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a commotion in his ears.
Outside the martial arts arena, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"Isn't this the son of Scholar Ye?"
"Ye Tiangongzi, doesn't it mean that he got the immortal fate, and for this reason he also rejected the immortal chief of the Confucian Sect? Why did he get this appearance now?"
"Shhh, Scholar Ye has been feeling ill recently, so let's be quiet, don't irritate him. ”
Ye Tian walked all the way, listening to the whispers in the crowd, especially hearing the information about Ye Wen, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Oh my God, it's really you!"
On the martial arts arena, Ye Wen looked at the familiar figure from far and near, his eyes were round, his face was full of disbelief, and he stepped forward in three steps and two steps.
Ye Tian walked up quickly, and when he looked up, he saw the wrinkles clearly visible on Ye Wen's face, but they were only more than a month apart, but Ye Wen seemed to be old for twenty years, his heart couldn't help but sour, and his voice was a little choked: "Tian'er is not filial, so my father is worried!"
In the face of such heavy family affection, Ye Tian's firm Dao heart seemed so vulnerable.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
Looking at Ye Tian's injuries, Ye Wenhu's eyes were full of tears, and his wrinkles were full of distress, but he held back his tears, unwilling to let Ye Tian see his weak side.
"Hmm!"
Ye Tian nodded heavily, looked past Ye Wen, saw the old mayor walking slowly, stepped forward and saluted, "Grandpa mayor." ”
Seeing that Ye Tian was covered with scars and ragged clothes, the old mayor admired in his heart, and said kindly: "Tian'er is back, Ye Wen, let's take the child home first, after being separated for so long, your father and son should have a lot to say." ”
Hearing this, Ye Wen nodded, and pulled Ye Tian out of the martial arts arena.
Ye Tian's appearance was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, setting off waves in Muxiang Town.
Ye Tian had previously rejected Ouyang Pu's invitation, saying that he was favored by an immortal master, and when the news came out, I don't know how many people were envious. Now he is in embarrassment, and he is just in time for the second selection of Confucianism, which inevitably provokes some people to think about it.
"Could it be that Ye Tian is not good at learning and was driven back?"
"Seeing him so embarrassed, maybe he was deceived. ”
"Hmph, could it be that he still wants to participate in the selection of Confucianism?"
Led by Xiao Tianyu, several teenagers sneered when they saw this scene.
Ye Tian looked a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what happened to him. ”
In the crowd, Tian Liuli's delicate face showed a trace of worry, watching Ye Tian's figure disappear.
It's just that for all this, neither Ye Wen nor Ye Tian has the heart to pay attention to it.
"Tian'er, tell me, you are in the mountains, did you come out to make an accident?"
In the bedroom, Ye Wen looked at his ragged and scarred son in front of him, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and his palms trembled slightly.
Ye Tian has been sick since he was a child, and he thought that there was a turnaround, but he didn't expect to be like this now.
Seeing his father's uncomfortable expression, Ye Tian's heart was also full of guilt.
"I ...... The meridians are all broken, and they are gone, father, I can't stand you. ”
In the end, Ye Tian said softly.
This is a fact that cannot be concealed, as long as Ye Wen examines his injuries, he will inevitably find out.
Hearing this, Ye Wen was like a thunderbolt, his head buzzed, and he almost fainted.
The meridians are broken, and it is already a miracle to be alive, and it is impossible to cultivate the truth and seek the Tao from now on.
And Ye Tiantian was born with one more life soul than ordinary people, if he couldn't cultivate to the twelfth level of Qi cultivation and solve the hidden dangers, what was the difference between asking for his life?
Ye Wen grabbed Ye Tian's wrist vein suddenly, and then he was stunned, his face turned pale, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and his dejected appearance made Ye Tian's heart like a knife.
"How can this be, who is so vicious and wants to cut off my son's life!"
Ye Wen's eyes were full of anger.
Ye Tian shook his head, and his face returned to calm, "It's none of other people's business, it's my own carelessness in practicing martial arts, and I am eager for quick success, which led to this situation." ”
There was no complaining in his tone, but Ye Tian's will became firm.
What if the meridians are broken? His Ye Tian's path is constantly improving, and even if he is added to the body of ten thousand tribulations, it will not be able to erase it.
"Hey, three days later, Confucianism selected disciples for the second time. At that time, I will intercede with my Confucian predecessors and ask them to help you heal your wounds. ”
Hope ignited in Ye Wen's heart, and he said firmly: "Even if the predecessors can't cure you, you can still go to Confucianism." Confucianism is one of the six major sects, and there must be a way. ”
Ye Tian didn't want to hit Ye Wen's beliefs, so he didn't say anything more.
He was well aware of his injuries, and he could only reshape his meridians unless he broke through to the Illusory Sea Realm.
However, with his current situation, he couldn't even carry his true qi, and cultivation was already impossible, so how could he break through.
Soon, the news that Ye Tian's meridians were broken spread far and wide, and the people in the entire Muxiang Town knew about it.
"Did you hear that? Ye Tian is already gone. ”
"I already knew, thinking about how arrogant Ye Tian was a month ago, before he was even ten years old, he was ashamed to be our master. ”
"He is to blame, who asked him to refuse Immortal Master Ouyang, he has to go to the mountains to cultivate immortals with strange people. ”
A large number of teenagers gathered on the martial arts arena to practice their fists and feet in preparation for the second selection.
And when they heard that the once amazing genius had been reduced to a waste, they all had a sense of schadenfreude.
However, such waves did not affect Ye Tian.
After recuperation, his injuries have healed and recovered as before, but the meridians are still full of holes, and even the most basic qi induction method cannot be operated, and the phantom sea is even more dead.
The entrance of the Phantom Sea is a place for the human body to store essence and qi, storing the energy of life, and it is also the initial starting point of cultivation.
In Ye Tian's Illusory Sea, the domineering true qi had long since passed, and only a piece of nothingness remained.
The illusory life soul moved imperceptibly, and Huo Ling'er, who was suspended next to him, noticed this scene and immediately ran out from afar.
However, after that, this life soul did not make any abnormal movements, and became lifeless again.
Ye Tian sighed lightly, leaned back in his chair, and opened the book in his hand.
Although his will was still firm, he couldn't carry his true qi, which always made Ye Tian feel a faint sense of loss in his heart.
"It is recorded in the scriptures that there was once a great Confucian named Fang Yan, who was weak and sick when he was young, and both parents died. Although he lived on the streets and had to be with beggars, he eavesdropped on his husband's lectures outside the private school every day, and finally developed a strong and righteous spirit, and became a generation of Confucianism. Compared with the dialect, my parents are both there, and I have no worries about food and clothing, so what is there to lose? ”
Thinking of this, the slightest hesitation also disappeared, Ye Tian believed that there was no way to heaven and man, and even a beggar could become an admirable Confucian, how could his way out be cut off?
Bang bang bang.
At this moment, there was a strong knock on the door, as if it was kicking with a foot.
