In the desolate and dilapidated courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar paced among the weeds, looking around with a look of nostalgia. Behind him, the young man in black was following closely, watching the middle-aged man's actions, his face full of puzzlement.

"Hey......" After a while, the middle-aged man sighed softly, as if mixed with sorrow, "I have been shrinking here for more than ten years unconsciously, time flies so fast, such a peaceful life is really unforgettable." ”

The young man in black listened to the middle-aged man's emotion, and seemed to think of something, but he didn't seem to be sure, and after a moment of doubt, he said softly: "Father, the child doesn't understand what you mean. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned, slowly turned around and looked at the young man in front of him who was about to surpass his height, and pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Chen'er, we have been on a mission since we were born, and now you are weak and not qualified to know the secrets, but the exercises I have passed on to you are the way to the secrets, and you will know when you cultivate to reach that realm." ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man paused for a moment again, as if he was caught in a memory, and a faint look of pain appeared on his face. "This is our fate, knowing that there is no escape from death, you were born at the time of the catastrophe of our clan, I took you in your infancy and shrunk here, in order to give you a safe environment to grow up, now that you are an adult, I should also do what I should do. ”

Yan Chen heard a strong sense of gloom from his father's words, he didn't know what kind of secret it was, what kind of mission would make his father, who had always been calm, so moved.

The breeze is bleak, and the courtyard is desolate.

Yan Chen smacked his lips, feeling that he was full of doubts but didn't know where to ask, so he had to look at his father helplessly, he was afraid that after this parting, there would be no hope of seeing each other.

He didn't want to be frustrated just after his love scene, and lose his father in the blink of an eye.

The father seems to be very open-minded, or at least simply explaining what happened after his death. "Chen'er, don't look at me like this, when you understand our mission one day, I believe you will make the same choice as me and your predecessors. ”

"But my father ......"

"Chen'er, the eldest husband is worthy of the sky and the earth. Since this is our fate, then don't run away from it, and have the courage to face it! Look at your current appearance, I am disappointed!" Perhaps he couldn't get used to Yan Chen's appearance at this time, but his father actually opened his mouth and scolded him sternly.

Father's head kick shocked Yan Chen for a while, and the words that just came to his mouth were hurriedly swallowed, seeing that his father was angry, he didn't want to find it unhappy. adjusted his mood slightly, and even the sadness caused by the end of his first love, which had just ended without a problem, seemed to have disappeared a lot, and perseverance gradually emerged.

Seeing that Yanchen gradually adjusted himself, his father nodded with satisfaction, obviously Yanchen's heart was still very satisfying to him. Of course, if he knew that Yan Chen's mind had jumped to the point where he could wander the world after his father left, he didn't know whether he would praise the young man for his good temperament, or if he wanted to slap this big-hearted child to death.

"Chen'er, Chen'er......" Xu is Yanchen's thinking was too out-of-the-box, thinking too much, his father called him a few times before he reacted, and when he turned his head to look at his father, he was still a little dazed, thinking that Fang Cai must have been fascinated by iQue, forgetting that his father was still around. He reacted in an instant, quickly gathered his mind, and listened carefully to his father's instructions.

The father only said that he suddenly received so much news that he couldn't digest it for a while, and he didn't think much about it, and when he saw that he was relieved, he continued the unfinished topic.

"You have been practicing with me since you were a child, and you have reached the realm of condensing qi when you are a young man, and this kind of achievement is already amazing. But looking at the Star Yuan Continent, there are many people who are more talented than you, so don't be proud. ”

"Father, the child understands that he will never be proud and carried away because of this little achievement, but the child now only knows that the realm has three realms: gathering, condensing, and mixing, and then he doesn't know the realm after that, but he asks his father to solve his doubts. ”

My father was very satisfied with Yan Chen's humble and studious attitude, and even opened his mouth to answer questions.

"Along the way of cultivation, after countless predecessors have summarized, the general levels on the Star Yuan Continent are now divided into: Qi Gathering, Qi Condensation, Mixed Yuan, Quenching God, Yang God, Incarnation, Dao Heart, Asking Dao, and Breaking Void, but the strength of each cultivator in the same realm is high and low after excluding the exercise factor, so on the basis of the nine realms, each realm is divided into nine realms again. ”

"What about the broken void, is it the highest realm to break the void?" At this moment, Yan Chen was like a dry sponge, grasping everything and desperately absorbing it.

"Breaking the void is the highest realm of the Star Yuan Continent, but breaking the void nine times can already break the shackles of heaven and earth, shatter the void and go. Because of this, nature is not the highest realm of a cultivator. ”

"Shatter the void and leave this world?" At this time, Yan Chen was already full of longing, and his out-of-touch thinking had already begun to fantasize about galloping in another world, if it wasn't for his father's timely interruption, I am afraid that he would be the emperor of heaven at this time, and the goddess of heaven would be pregnant.

Seeing that everything that should be explained has been almost, the father immediately decided not to waste any more time, greeted Yanchen and flicked his sleeves in a dashing manner, and prepared to fly away as soon as he lifted his body.

"Father, wait a minute. "Not to mention that the sons are all enemies of their father's previous life, and they came to collect debts in this life, as soon as the father put on a dashing posture, he was stopped by Yan Chen, and the body that had just flown up landed on the ground again with a "click", and the embarrassment was overflowing.

"You, is there anything else?" the father looked at Yanchen with a smile.

"That, father, I just want to ask, which realm do I have to go to to be qualified to know the secret?" Thinking about it, Yan Chen also saw the embarrassment, and scratched his head in a sneer.

"Then you will know, okay, there is nothing to do, right? Then the father will leave first, after so many years of delay, I really can't drag it out any longer, I really hope to have the opportunity to see you in the future." After speaking, without waiting for Yan Chen to speak, his father's figure quickly disappeared, thinking that he was afraid of being called down by Yan Chen with a "click" again.

Yan Chen was stunned when he saw his father disappear in front of his eyes like this, and after a while, he slowly withdrew his chin that was wide open in surprise, supported his right arm with his left arm, and stroked his chin with his right arm and fell into deep thought.

"So, I'm an orphan?" Yan Chen, who was holding his chin in contemplation under the sun, shone brightly, but Yan Chen, who was contemplative, was full of thoughts.

After a long time, he slowly lowered his arm and shook it gently, numb.

Then he slowly slipped into his room, and after tossing in it for a long time, when he came out again, there was already an extra burden on his shoulders, and he actually packed all his belongings and carried them on his shoulders.

"Now that I'm alone, it seems that I can only eat the fat man. After that, he looked at the desolate and dilapidated small courtyard, and then locked the "creaking" small firewood door, turned around and walked towards the head of the restaurant without looking back.

......

"Boss, I'm back. ”

In the back kitchen, the fat boss who was sweating profusely and carrying a big spoon looked at Yan Chen who was wrapped around his back in a daze.

"You're ......"

Yan Chen pursed his lips, found a clean place on his shoulder, and turned his head to grit at the fat boss who was still staring at him, "My dad said that he has something to do, and I am an orphan, so I came to you, hey, hey, hey, it's paste, you're mushy in the pot." ”

Hearing this, the fat boss hurriedly fried the vegetables for a while, and then looked at Yanchen with a complicated expression for a long time, and Yanchen's scalp was numb, and the soles of his feet sighed faintly. "Yanchen, our small restaurant is about to be unable to open, you see, fat man, I am now old, my hands are unstable, and I can't hold the frying spoon anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to fry vegetables anymore, and I will be sad in the future." ”

As he spoke, the fat boss's mung bean-sized eyes squeezed twice, looking at the situation as if he was sad.

"Is it?, dead fat man, do you want me to accept your shabby restaurant, and you think that you will run away with the master later?" The fat boss's acting skills failed to fool the shrewd Yan Chen, and after throwing out a sentence with a smile, he picked up the burden on the side and prepared to go to the backyard to find a place to live for himself.

"Stinky boy, don't go too far, you eat the fat man's, take the fat man's salary, and want to occupy the fat man's restaurant, let me tell you, you are delusional. As he spoke, the fat boss threw away the things at hand, and didn't care that there were still diners waiting to be served in the lobby in front of him, and rolled towards Yan Chen's figure with a bang.

Yan Chen heard the sound behind him, turned his head and saw that the fat boss had chased after him, and screamed: "Dead fat man, can you still pick and search, master, won't I live in your room." ”

"No way!"

"Master, I'm tired and tired every day to do so much work for you. ”

"No way!"

"Dead fatty, I burned down your restaurant. ”

"No way!"

"What else can you say no but no?"

"You can't stay here, go back to your house. ”

“......”

In the end, the fat boss still failed to win Yanchen, and he grabbed a wing room in a grand manner, and lived in it beautifully, and the distressed fat boss sat in front of the door of the wing room and beat his chest, and the ghost cried and howled.

"Stinky boy, you can't live in your house, what's the matter with occupying the fat man's house?"

"My dad is missing, and I'm afraid to see things and think about people when I go back. Through the door, Yan Chen threw out such a sentence on the bed.

"Then your wages will be used to cover the cost of the room. The fat boss said through gritted teeth against the closed door.

"Believe it or not, sir, I burned down your restaurant?"

"You...... You...... You come out, let's discuss it again. ”

There is no response in the room......
