Chapter 16: Qi Practitioners
From the perspective of a bystander, Chu Mingshu is young and old, awe-inspiring, well-mannered, erudite and ambitious.
Song Yu felt that he couldn't see through him.
At first, I just thought it was fun, and then I tried it for a long time, although he was rambling and his words didn't follow the routine, Chu Mingshu could always deal with it well.
Quoting scriptures and classics, there is reason and evidence, and neither fault nor transgression.
"Young Master Yuan, in my son's heart, there is still a doubt, which has been troubled for many days, I don't know if Young Master Yuan can solve my son's doubts. ”
Chu Mingshu was not impatient, and nodded good-naturedly,
"If Xiaosheng knows, he must know everything. ”
"Of course you do!"
Song Yu laughed, "Two days ago, the Shanhai Sect recruited disciples, and my son watched from the sidelines, and saw that your companion was selected, but you took a child and turned around. ”
"That's right, what's the problem. Chu Ming was puzzled.
"Smack!" Song Yu opened the fan, "Of course there is a problem, immortality, longevity and Tianqi, what a temptation, since ancient times, there are countless people who ask for immortals, since you went that day, you must have such thoughts, but you turned around and left, why is this?"
"I can't let it go, I can't give it up. ”
Chu Mingshu was serious, "You probably also heard what the immortal master said, those who enter the immortal gate must no longer covet the emotions of the world, Qi Yuan's adoptive mother is not in good health, his adoptive father has inconvenient legs and feet, and the second elder only has one heir under his knees, and he is still counting on Qi Yuan's glorious lintel, and he will be sent to the end of his old age. ”
"I see. ”
Song Yu made a suddenly realized expression, and was about to say more, but Chu Mingshu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Immortality, longevity and heavenly Qi, for mortals The natural temptation is very, since ancient times, those who ask for immortals do not know how many mortals ...... And from a small point of view, Song Gongzi, you don't seem to be very interested in this. ”
"Ben Gongzi naturally went to test it back then! It's just that this wealth in the world is nostalgic and fascinating, and Ben Gongzi naturally can't let it go, and he can't bear it!"
......
Sending Song Yu away, Chu Mingshu raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, if it wasn't for reading a lot of books in the past two days, he really didn't know how to deal with this eldest young master with strange words and deeds.
Song Yu is moody, his brain is clear, and it is difficult for ordinary people to figure it out, and it can be seen from the attitude shown by Shangguan Guan that the other party is from a noble background, at least Shangguan Mansion cannot afford to provoke him.
......
Night falls.
When Shangguan Guan walked in, Chu Mingshu had already washed up and was about to go to bed.
"Yuan'er," Shangguan Guan found a stool and sat down, looking at his son lovingly, "These days, are you still comfortable living in the mansion?" ”
Chu Mingshu forcibly endured an indescribable weird feeling in his heart, smiled slightly, and nodded, "I really didn't adapt to it at first, Shangguan Mansion was too big. ”
"I heard that you've been reading in your study for the past two days. ”
"That's right, the master once told me that there is no end to the sea of books, there is no end to learning, and you can't slack off on the exploration of knowledge just because your life is stable. ”
"That's good," Shangguan Wan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she said gently, "You can live here with peace of mind, don't think too much, what you want and what you lack, just tell the housekeeper directly, alas...... It's all because your mother is not good, and she doesn't have time to spend with you...... Recently, there have been too many trivial things in the clan, and when you are free, your mother will definitely compensate you!"
"Hmm. Chu Mingshu nodded very obediently.
Shangguan Guan smiled happily when he saw this, raised his hand and touched Chu Mingshu's hair, "I know what you're worried about, you don't have to be afraid of me...... After all these years, you have also returned to me. ”
"My ......," Chu Mingshu wanted to say and stopped.
"Your adoptive father is much better, he saved your life, and your mother will not treat him badly, the doctor said that although he injured his muscles and bones, and the healing was a little late, it was not impossible to recover. ”
Chu Mingshu's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up, and said happily, "Really! Daddy can stand up again!"
"It's true, don't worry, sit down. Shangguan Guan soothed, "However, your adoptive father is not young after all, and in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to go to the mountains to hunt again." ”
"Then ...... him"
"Don't worry, I gave the Qi clan a sum of money, enough for them to willingly support your adoptive father......"
"Then how can it be done," Chu Mingshu shook his head, "Qi Yuan's surname is Qi one day, and he is his father's son one day, and it is his son's responsibility to give his father's pension to the end, how can he fake his hands to others." ”
"Yuan'er ......" looked at the stubborn Chu Mingshu, Shangguan Guan sighed, and she said, "Your business, your adoptive father already knows, and he also accepted his mother's proposal, in Shangguan Mansion, you will live better." ”
"How so!" Chu Mingshu's eyes widened, he stood up again, and said seriously, "I want to go back." ”
"No way!" Shangguan Wan refused, she shook her head helplessly, and then softened her tone, holding Chu Mingshu's face and saying, "Yuan'er, obedient, you are still young, you don't know, only according to your mother's arrangement, you will live well, and they will live well." ”
"You are simply people from two worlds, so why should you force and disturb each other. ”
"After all, it is your savior, Yuan'er, and my mother assures you that they will adopt another child in their own family, and they will have enough savings to raise him to be an adult and live a happy life from now on. ”
Chu Mingshu was a little frustrated, he sat down dejectedly, he didn't know what to say for a while, Shangguan Wan stood behind him, put his hands on his shoulders, and suddenly said, "Yuan'er...... Do you want to cultivate immortals?"
Chu Mingshu's eyes flashed, he turned around slightly, and looked at Shangguan Wan with a puzzled expression, "Cultivating immortals?"
Shangguan Guan pursed his lips and smiled, "Two days ago, some people said that they saw you go to the test site of Shanhai Sect to take the exam, but they didn't know why they left halfway, and my mother knew that you were worried about your adoptive father, and now you have no worries, do you still want to cultivate immortals." ”
Chu Mingshu didn't answer her, just opened his eyes and asked, "In this world, are there really immortals?"
"I don't know. Shangguan Wan shook his head, and then said, "However, in our world, there is a kind of people who pursue the immortal path, and they are qi practitioners. ”
"Qi practitioner?"
"Legend has it that the person who chases the immortal and seeks the Tao is called a cultivator, and the land of Dachu is vast, but there is no cultivator. ”
"Isn't a Qi Practitioner a True Cultivator?"
"Yes and no," Shangguan Guan frowned, "It is also the pursuit of the way of heaven and the inheritance of qi practitioners, but it is incomplete." ”
"No...... Complete?!"
Shangguan Guan nodded.
"Why?"
"I don't know," Shangguan Guan could only shake his head, and said, "However, even if it is an incomplete inheritance, it is still no problem to strengthen the body and prolong life." ”
"Can't you live forever?"
"Silly boy, how can there be any real immortality! Even the legendary cultivators can't do this. ”
"Mother wants her child to become a qi practitioner?"
"Of course. Shangguan Guan nodded unabashedly, "Not to mention the high status of Qi practitioners, as long as you can learn some self-preservation techniques, be healthy and grow up safely, no matter what kind of price you have to pay, your mother is willing!"
The moon hangs on the branches, and the night of Shangguan's Mansion is quiet, and even the insects with late autumn are much quieter than those in the countryside.
Chu Mingshu lay on the soft quilt, his hands were superimposed on the back of his head, he blew out the candles, the whole bedroom was pitch black, thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind, and it was just a moment before he returned to nothingness, Chu Mingshu opened his eyes in the dark.
Cultivating immortals, practicing qi.
Raising his hand to cover the black jade on his chest, Chu Mingshu's expression was gloomy.
Chu Mingshu, what are you afraid of?
Since crossing over three years ago, he has encountered life and death many times in the deep mountains, and each time he almost died, and in the end he didn't carry it.
This life was originally obtained for nothing, living one more day is taking advantage, and if you die, you will die, and you will die, and you will be a hundred, and the right is that since the last time, you have not come back to life!
Qi practitioners, give it a try.
