Chapter 17 The Sea and the Sky
"The world is so big, I want to see it!" Looking at his son's pure and bright eyes, Chen Xing suddenly felt that he was really a little old! Yes! Who in this world has not been young? Who has not longed? Who has not been enthusiastic? As long as he has a young heart, he may have greater gains if he dares to break through and fight, so why should he be obsessed!
Not everyone will dare to try, and not everyone will have even greater dreams? The sea laughed, the rivers and lakes were free, perhaps only a truly strong person would have such a simple and strong heart! If he did not experience wind and rain, how could he see a rainbow! Then go ahead! A white and warm palm rested on Chen Xing's shoulder, and Chen Xing sobered up from his contemplation. Gently rubbing the back of his wife's tender hand, "Am I getting old?" I feel that everything is in my chest, but I can't see through Lan'er more and more?" "If you can't see through it, don't look at it, as long as he's still our son, it's okay, and if you care, it's messy!" "Yes! You can see clearly, and I'm a little bit interested in my husband!"
Silently came to the side of the long-lost cold pool, picked up a small stone and threw it hard at the water, the pool water suddenly swayed a series of waves, and the water surface returned to calm in a moment, and threw out another one, and so on, until the arm was a little stiff, and then quieted down. "I still don't think about it, since my father doesn't allow me to participate, there must be his own reasons, I'd better go with the flow, maybe I also give myself a space to think!" Looking at a pool of water, the situation of throwing stones just now appeared in front of me, and I gradually fell into contemplation. At this moment, the previous depression was swept away, and the improvement of his mood shocked Chen Lan's spirit, and the whole person seemed to be reborn from the fire, radiating infinite vitality. The meridians of the whole body made a sound, and the aura of heaven and earth swarmed in an instant, and the green snake heart change method operated on its own, and with a 'poof' sound, the eighth qi filament in the qi sea was formed, and the eight layers of the qi realm were less. Everything came so suddenly, you must know that Chen Lan returned from Shinto in just a few days, and he broke through the first level, and his foundation was extremely solid, without a trace of frivolity, it was simply incredible. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Chen Lan absorbed a large amount of cyan air flow in the Divine Dao, which was a trace of origin qi left by the divine beast Qinglong specifically for his true inheritor, which was used to improve the inheritor's physique, wash the bones and marrow, and enhance cultivation. Although he absorbed some of it before, he didn't absorb it completely, just because Chen Lan's realm was too low, and some of them were still stored in the meridians and bones, but now with the improvement of Chen Lan's state of mind, even his cultivation has broken through again, and everything has come naturally. Feeling that he was a little stronger again, Chen Lan was excited, her whole body was exerted, her breath was shocking, her whole body was drumming, and she was hunting. A sudden untimely voice came to mind and said: "Don't be complacent, you're almost thirteen years old, don't talk about it, look at you who are about the same age, your rival Bai Chengzhong, your little lover Long Lihua, if it is really a battle of life and death, one finger will kill you in seconds!" "Xiaoqing, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is my rival in love, who is my little lover, if you talk nonsense, I will ignore you in the future?" Chen Lan reprimanded Xiaoqing in his mouth, as if he had seen a ghost, his expression was nervous, for fear that someone would hear it, and glanced left and right. "Okay, look at your virtue, like a local chicken, I said it in your heart, who can hear it, I'm afraid there is a ghost in my heart, right?" "Xiaoqing, don't talk nonsense, we're really just friends!" Chen Lan said seriously with a red neck.
It's only three months before the Qingshu election, although the skills of the young warriors have improved by leaps and bounds during this time, but they still can't relax, and no one can predict the result until the end. Therefore, Chen Xing grasped the children's training more tightly.
It is worth mentioning that after the end of the Shinto inheritance, Ma Xichao took leave to go home to visit relatives and did not return for a long time. As a teacher, Chen Xing naturally sent someone to inquire about this matter, only to learn that after Ma Xichao returned home, the father saw that his son's realm had not made much progress, and in a fit of anger, he imposed family rules on Ma Xichao and ordered Ma Xichao to retreat and break through the Qi cultivation realm before he could get out. Ma Xichao did not react to his father's harsh orders and dealt with them calmly.
Legend has it that one day 10,000 years ago, the sky was dark, the earth shook and the mountains and rivers were translocated, forming a huge ravine, the terrain was steep, and the aura of heaven and earth was richer than other places. Tenglong, Baiya, and Majiagou were originally one, however, with the reproduction of the clan and the increasing population, the other two families with the surname Bai and Ma finally migrated after some negotiation. The Bai family chose to build about 50 miles southwest of Tenglong Village by the mountain, and the mountain name is Baiya. Because the mountain grows like the teeth of an ancient creature, the fangs are bared to the sky, as if they want to devour the starry sky. Ma chose to rely on this huge ravine with dangerous terrain and strong aura.
The Huangsha River, which seems to pour from above the Nine Heavens, runs through the entire Longshan Empire from east to west. The river is muddy all year round, the yellow waves are monstrous, the water monsters are numerous, extremely fierce, and the strange rocks on the riverside are numerous, so it is rare for people to visit. In a strange stone forest, a tall and well-proportioned figure shuttled through the forest, a yellow-billed jaw chased frantically, biting, and roaring in the sky, and yellow rags occasionally fell on its sharp teeth. In the end, the yellow-billed jaw was exhausted, and swept its jagged tail towards a stone pillar beside it, and the stone pillars were broken from the roots, and its vertical eyes looked in the direction where the figure disappeared, and roared a few times, as if demonstrating, and then slowly shook its bloated and huge body and crawled away. The figure running for his life is none other than Ma Xichao, who is going home to visit relatives. At this moment, Ma Xichao looked quite embarrassed, standing on a rock, panting heavily, his chest heaving heavily, sweat soaking through his entire clothes, and his yellow robe was torn. But Ma Xichao's body is still as straight as a javelin, his dark square face is still indifferent, and his eyes are sharp and full of determination. After returning from the experience, watching the cultivation of most of his fellow disciples and brothers improve by leaps and bounds, he was a little anxious in his heart, so he went home to visit relatives as an excuse to eliminate the haze in his heart. Who knew that when he returned to the clan, he was instantly flooded by the saliva of the elders, so in order to avoid this situation, he pushed the boat down the river and meditated in this stone forest. More than ten days have passed in a flash, and the yellow-mouthed jaw has naturally become his free sparring partner every day. At present, although he is still at the seventh layer of the Shaoqi Realm, his body method has entered the realm quickly, and the power accumulated in his body is enough, and he is not far from breaking through. Looking at the strange rocks in front of him, with different heights and different shapes, Ma Xichao was distracted for a while, and then said to himself: "Everything is different, not to mention people, if you are in a hurry, you will fall into the magic barrier, only by going with the flow and keeping your heart can you get out of the fog!"
"That's right, it seems that this visit to relatives has made you feel relieved and benefited immensely!" I don't know when, Chen Xing quietly came, which made Ma Xichao excited. "Teacher, when are you here?" "I heard that your father is quite dissatisfied with you, and the general election is imminent, so I made a special trip to pick you up for fear of delaying your cultivation! It seems that I am too worried!" "Thank you for coming, the students are ashamed!" Ma Xichao flew in front of Chen Xing in a hurry and bowed. Chen Xing stretched out his hand and pointed at the Baihui acupoint above Ma Xichao's head, and a trace of stinging pain instantly swept through his body, and his whole body suddenly lightened, and the sea of qi shook, breaking through the eighth layer. Ma Xichao gave a deep salute again, and Chen Xing explained with a smile: "Seeing that your Baihui acupoint yang qi is blocked, being a teacher is just to help you dredge it! Everything is your own accumulation is enough, and the breakthrough is only a few days sooner or later!" Looking at Chen Xing, Ma Xichao's heart was full of sincere respect, only such a master can teach excellent students, isn't Senior Brother Longteng the best proof?
In a hurry, two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and there are only a dozen days left to start the 'Qingshu General Election', what an exciting moment this is! After half a year of preparation, the teenagers are already boiling with enthusiasm, and they urgently need a hearty battle to interpret the fire in their hearts.
Wutang is already crowded and popular today, because the contestants are about to be selected, and for the clansmen, this is the most important day before the election. "Hey, I said that your Lihua's girl, not only does she have a long water spirit, but her cultivation is also amazing, she has a layer of Qi Cultivation Realm, why did you give birth to such an excellent girl like a stupid bear and this bear?" "Get out of your horse narcissism, look at the two rabbit cubs in your family, one looks like a dung mound, the other looks like a noodle, don't let my girl beat him for a while, and he doesn't even know his wife, hahaha!" "Look at that Bai Chengzhong, he has already cultivated the second layer of the Qi Realm, which is more powerful than Long Teng three years ago, and this year he will be guaranteed to give us Wutang a long face, maybe he can still win the first place!" "The kid of the Star Family is not bad, didn't he be able to practice martial arts before! Now he is at the eighth level of the Qi Realm, and his potential is not bad!"
Due to the relationship between the dragons, Aoki Town allocated ten places to the martial arts, which were allocated by the clan itself. You must know that there are only fifty places in the entire Aoki Town, which is already very good, and other villages are all fighting for a place. Looking at the hour, Chen Xing slowly walked up to the stone platform, coughing his throat, the noisy crowd under the stage suddenly fell silent, and a deep and deep voice penetrated the entire space: "Today, after careful consultation between the clan elders and the village chiefs of the three villages, the warriors participating in the general election this time do not need to compete in martial arts, and Bai Lao will directly announce the list!" As soon as Chen Xing's words were finished, the crowd below immediately exploded, and for a while, everyone was puzzled and questioned. "Quiet, what are you shouting about, it's not a system, I will announce the list of personnel, and if you have objections, you will compete in force!"
"Bai Chengzhong, Long Lihua, Long Jun, Long Xiaobao, Ma Chaoyang, Ma Zhaohui, Long Lixuan, Bai Dashan, Ma Xichao, and Chen Lan will rest for a day tomorrow, and set off for Qingyun City with the people from the academy the day after tomorrow!" "Huh, didn't Daddy let me go?" Chen Lan was a little happy in her heart. "There's still me!" Marcy mused. "Hey, isn't there no Lan'er?" Chen Xing was also stunned. "Uncle Bai, I have objections, everyone is of the same clan, there is no selfishness, I will tell you the truth, the Qingshu election is not a child's play, it is an extremely important event for our ancestors, there are several children in the village who are cultivating on the eighth floor, not to mention that the girl in Yuexiu is still on the ninth floor, why is it not selected, Ma Xichao's kid and the star family's family are both eighth-layer cultivation, why don't you give other children a chance?" Bai Fugui's questioning words were immediately approved by most people. Yes, the election is the obsession of several generations and should be carefully chosen!" "When we discussed and decided, it was after comprehensive consideration in all aspects, I think the most controversial among the clansmen at present are the two children Chen Lan and Ma Xichao, Chen Xing vetoed when choosing Chen Lan, but as elders, a few of us old immortals still decided to give the children a chance, Chen Lan seriously injured Bai Dashan on the eighth layer with one punch when he was in the seventh layer of the Shaoqi Realm, have you all heard of this matter?" If you don't believe it, you can ask Dashan for verification; as for Ma Xichao, this kid is highly recommended by Chen Xing, as a teacher, he has the most right to speak, here I only want to explain one point, the same qi is important, but this world is measured by strength, not determined by human feelings, cultivation does not mean that strength must be strong!" Bai Lao said in a somewhat stern tone, and the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and they all fell into thought, yes!
"I-quit! I'm a little weak," Chen Lan plucked up the courage to finish with a calm face, and the quiet scene became even quieter. Oh, the scene was just instantaneous, "Whose child, stupid, I don't cherish such a good opportunity!" "Star's family?" "Son, good!" Originally, Caiyi was still blaming her husband in her heart, but her son withdrew directly, and Caiyi suddenly relaxed. Chen Xing nodded in approval.
Ma Xichao, who happened to be standing next to Chen Lan, wanted to raise his feet and take a step forward, Chen Lan immediately grabbed Ma Xichao's sleeve and said solemnly: "You don't have to quit, this world is very big, I also want to go and see it, but not now, you need such a stage now, cherish!" The eyes of the two teenagers intertwined in the void, enduring.
