Chapter 22: I want to become stronger, teach me to cultivate

"Heaven and Earth Aura, what is it?" Chen Chen looked at Hou Ling in confusion, because he didn't know what Heaven and Earth Aura.

Hou Ling got up and walked a hundred and ten zhang away, turned his back to Chen Chen, and slowly spoke: "All things in the world are born naturally, absorbing the qi of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon and growing, and over time there will be some special things, and our cultivators call this special thing aura. ”

Chen Chen was still confused, looking at Hou Ling as if he didn't understand.

Hou Ling smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know what the aura is, you just need to remember that if you absorb enough aura, you can change the essence of a life and make it more powerful." ”

As the words fell, Hou Ling slowly stretched out his right hand.

Then, Chen Chen saw a blazing white flame coming out of the palm of Hou Ling's right hand.

In Chen Chen's dumbfounded eyes, Hou Ling gently pushed his palm, and the flame fell on a stone.

The stone melted instantly, and then vanished, but the flame continued to burn until a small pit burned in the flat ground, and then it was extinguished.

Uncle Hou is so powerful!

No wonder the cut in the bear's chest looks like it was pierced by flames!

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Chen said in a deep voice: "After I absorb the aura of this heaven and earth, can I become as powerful as this?"

Hou Ling smiled faintly: "What, do you want to become stronger?"

"Yes. Chen Chen nodded.

Hou Ling's eyes narrowed: "I asked you before, didn't you reject me?

Sighing silently, Chen Chen said softly: "I have never experienced the feeling of helplessness yesterday before. ”

After the words fell, Chen Chen raised his head again and glanced at the little fat man and thin monkey who were eating in the distance, and then said: "This feeling of being able to watch the danger approaching but being powerless is particularly uncomfortable. ”

After speaking, Chen Chen took a deep breath and began to recall the scene yesterday when the jungle wolf chased after him, the three of them fled frantically, and the golden retriever giant bear's claws stuck into the hole.

yes, this feeling of powerlessness is so uncomfortable!

Chen Chen's words seemed to be like a knife, stabbing deeply into Hou Ling's heart.

Because he has also experienced this kind of situation where he can only watch things happen, but he can't stop it, and he doesn't have the ability to stop it.

Thinking of this, Hou Ling couldn't help but take out the wine gourd, took a sip of wine, and then looked into the distance with his eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate the mountains and look through the sky.

After a long time, Hou Ling glanced at Chen Chen and said in a deep voice, "So what are your plans?"

"I want to become stronger, teach me to cultivate!" Chen Chen replied without any hesitation.

Hou Ling smiled.

In the past, although this kid had to pester himself to teach him some three-legged cat kung fu, when it came to cultivation, he always pushed back.

It seems that the test arranged by the old man this time has had an unexpected effect on this kid.

Immediately, Hou Ling said softly: "Cultivation is a thing that cannot be turned back once it starts, and the process is extremely arduous and full of dangers. ”

Chen Chen said with a serious expression: "I'm not afraid, as long as I can gain strength, I won't be afraid of hardship." ”

Hou Ling seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice: "Cultivation, you need to leave here, because there are no conditions for cultivation here." ”

came, Chen Chen knew that Hou Ling would say this, in the past, the two of them would talk about it every time.

Chen Chen has not cultivated all this time, and it is also because of this reason.

It's not because of anything else, it's that Chen Chen feels that Chen Feng is old and needs to be taken care of.

The second is that he likes here, the mountains, the water, and the people.

Therefore, Chen Chen, as before, fell silent again......

The mountain wind blew, Chen Chen felt a little cold inexplicably, and tightened the tattered clothes.

Seeing this, Hou Ling threw the wine gourd in his hand over: "Try a few sips." ”

Chen Chen caught it, but as soon as he took a sip, he coughed violently: "What kind of wine are you, why is it so strong?"

Hou Ling smiled and said, "Forget about the water." ”

It's obviously wine, so you have to call it forget about water, what to pretend!

But Chen Chen still asked: "Why is it called forgetting worries?"

Hou Ling smiled faintly: "Forget the pain that you don't want to remember." ”

Chen Chen was a little puzzled: "Uncle is so powerful, does he also have painful memories?"

Hou Ling glanced at Chen Chen, sighed deeply, and said slowly: "I was also like you, wanting to protect some people and protect some things, but then I found out that any protection requires strength, without power, all protection is just a joke." ”

Chen Chen nodded: "Uncle also said this to me before, but I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at that time. ”

"You don't understand it now. Hou Ling shook his head: "If you understood, you wouldn't still be hesitating to this day." ”

After a pause, Hou Ling continued: "If you want to protect the tranquility and softness in your heart, you have to find a way to become stronger, so strong that no one dares to hurt them, and is even willing to take the initiative to protect them for you." ”

Chen Chen frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "This is the same as what Ah Gong said, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, almost the same truth." ”

"Pretty much. Hou Ling nodded: "If you still don't understand, just think about it, what will you do if one day, when you find out that your relatives, your brothers and sisters, everyone you know is gone, and you are the only one left in this world?"

Chen Chen frowned: "I will live well, isn't it normal for people to be born, old, sick and die?"

Shaking his head, Hou Ling said in a cold tone: "What if, they were killed?"

Killed?

Listening to Hou Ling's words, Chen Chen was suddenly shocked, why would Uncle Hou say such a thing?

Is it a casual remark, or does it mean something?

For a moment, Chen Chen fell into deep thought......

Just as Chen Chen was thinking, Hou Ling's voice rang out again: "Have you thought it through?"

Chen Chen stared at Hou Ling and nodded heavily: "I've thought about it clearly, I'm willing to leave here and cultivate with you." ”

After a pause, Chen Chen said again: "But can you give me a little time?" ”

Hou Ling nodded: "It's just right, I still have some things in my hands, and when I'm done, I'll start teaching you to cultivate." ”

Chen Chen nodded, and then turned his gaze to the little fat man and the thin monkey who were red-faced and red-eared and extremely enjoying the food, and muttered: "Why do the little fat men and the thin monkey eat bear meat and don't feel like me?"

Hou Ling smiled slightly: "Talent." ”

"Is talent related to cultivation?" Chen Chen asked puzzled.

"Of course, talent determines the level of a person's cultivation achievements. Hou Ling said lightly: "It's like a wolf that if there are no other factors, it will never be able to defeat a giant bear." ”

Chen Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then wanted to ask something, but heard Hou Ling say in a deep voice: "Let's go, I will tell you all this later." ”

After speaking, Hou Ling walked towards the fire......
