Chapter Ninety-Four: The World Line Shifts
Peng Hui didn't know the answer, as time went by, he had been here for another two years, living this kind of life that was very full and happy for him every day, making him often feel that this was the real reality. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The memories of the previous period became more and more faint in his mind, he had sunk into this wonderful world, not to mention that he was not a monk at all now, and even the various descriptions of Taoism and immortal arts in his memory had disappeared in his mind, as if they had never existed at all.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't I have experienced the equivalent of more than ten years in a dream, and my current mind is not in harmony with my age. Peng Hui often laughed at himself, and in the face of his immature face, he suddenly felt that his thoughts seemed to be too mature.
However, this did not prevent him from continuing to enjoy it, and since he was now mentally mature, he began to share the labor for his parents at a young age.
He began to take the initiative to help his parents with household chores, and many things that mortal children of this age could not do at all, he actually completed them all with ease, which often made his parents feel unbelievable.
And Peng Hui later noticed his abnormality, he combined his own image in the "dream", thinking that his physique was very strong when he was a child, not even weaker than some people who became monks, he was also relieved, thinking that his physique should be born like this, but he had not taken the initiative to do tiring work before, and he had not found out.
Two years ago he was very young and could help carry all kinds of heavy loads, but now he is taller and more capable of work, and he sometimes looks at his father and mother, and is amazed to find that they seem to be younger than he has seen in his "dreams".
"Is it because I help them share the housework?" Peng Hui muttered, in the "dream" he was naughty at this age, not only did he not help his parents but also caused chaos everywhere, maybe it broke their hearts, so in the "dream" they looked a little old.
Because of these memories, he spared no effort to help his parents, and helped as much as he could, and now he can occasionally replace his parents as the shopkeeper.
Every time Peng Hui's parents, who were preparing to work, saw that Peng Hui seemed to have done nothing left, they were also speechless for a while, and their own child was so precocious and sensible that they felt that they were not used to it.
Finally one night at dinner, Peng Hui's father solemnly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then said to Peng Hui seriously: "Hui'er, you have helped us share so much housework in the past two years, I'm really embarrassed, I see that your current physique is about to catch up with me, and I still have to tell you some things." β
Peng Hui also put down the dishes and chopsticks, ready to listen to what he had to say, in fact, he seemed to have the answer in his heart, but he was not sure.
"Are you going to tell him so early?" the middle-aged woman asked, honestly she didn't want Peng Hui to come into contact with that so early.
"Qiu Xin, he has to know these things sooner or later, and now I think it's quite appropriate. The middle-aged man replied that his real name was Peng Su, and Qiu Xin in his words was the name of the middle-aged woman.
"Mother, don't worry, I want to know more when you tell me. Peng Hui said with a smile.
Qiu Xin originally wanted to say something, but after Peng Hui expressed her curiosity, she could only shake her head helplessly, while Peng Su took a deep breath and said slowly: "Hui'er, tell you the origin of our family for my father today......
He told Peng Hui a secret, their lineage used to be a branch of the imperial family, and Peng Su's grandfather, that is, Peng Hui's great-grandfather, was once an elder with a lot of strength in the inner clan, and their lineage could live well all the time.
But one day, a decree came from the clan, saying that his grandfather had made a great mistake and neglected his duty, and that he was to be put to death, and that they would be expelled from the clan and would be banished to a far place.
At that time, he was still an infant baby, and he didn't know what happened later, anyway, his father only told him so much, and then he didn't know what happened in the middle, in short, they drifted to Barren Mountain Town, and Qiu Xin was a maid serving their family at that time, and when he grew up, he also had a secret affection for Qiu Xin, and his father was also willing to match them at that time, but not long after the simple marriage was completed, his father died of a recurrence of his old injury, and he was not able to hunt spirit beasts by himself, resulting in no monk since he beganγ
Peng Hui listened carefully to what Peng Su said, and after thinking about it for a while, he was stunned to find that it seemed to be the same as in his "dream".
"Is it a prophetic dream? But after I changed my habits for the past two years, I must have deviated from some things. Peng Hui carefully analyzed it in his mind, he had a very smart brain, and he quickly came to such a reasonable conclusion.
"It turns out that our family used to be so glorious, alas, what a pity. Peng Hui pretended to sigh and said, how could he be surprised when he knew this in advance.
At this time, his mother also began to wipe away her tears, she had also experienced the hardships of those years, and this sadness made her a woman how could she not shed tears.
Peng Su helped her wipe her tears and comforted her, and then looked at Peng Hui solemnly, and said with burning eyes: "But now after seeing Hui'er, I suddenly feel that there is hope again." β
"Hui'er, your physique is much stronger than mine, almost to the same level as me, when the time comes, you can refine the beast soul and become a monk, maybe you can get rid of our family's long-standing embarrassment." The more Peng Su spoke, the more excited he became, and only realized his gaffe after Qiu Xin pulled it.
"Of course, your father didn't want you to help him fulfill his wish to return to the inner clan, after all, it was simply a luxury, we just hope that you can go further than us, since you have the blood of the royal family, how can you keep cowering in Barren Mountain Town?" Qiu Xin also said seriously for the first time after wiping away his tears.
Peng Hui was surprised, it seemed to be a little different from the "dream" here, his father did tell him about the family's past, but he didn't seem to want him to become a monk.
"Maybe I've unexpectedly strengthened my body in the past two years while helping my parents, and according to the basis in the 'dream', it seems that my qualifications are very good. Peng Hui can only speculate like this, and it seems that the so-called "future" has deviated greatly.
"But Dad should have reached the saturation point of mortals now, Dad may not have been sure to hunt spirit beasts before, but now I may be able to succeed if I go to help, and it is not better to let Dad become a monk first." Peng Hui said.
Everything he said was very well-founded, but he forgot his current age, even if he was precocious, but when he analyzed it at such a deep level, his "numb" parents couldn't suppress the surprise in their hearts.
"My son's head is much better than mine. Peng Su made a joke, eased the atmosphere, and then said: "Don't worry about this for now, but Hui'er, you're right, I really want to trouble you this time, if the two of us join forces, maybe the success rate will be greater, but this is a bit dangerous, to be honest, I also struggled for a long time and discussed with your mother for a while before I decided to say it." β
In the end, Peng Su actually brought a burst of bitterness, yes, he wanted to let his young son risk with him, as parents, how could they be willing, but there is only one way to change their situation.
"It's okay, Dad, your son and I are very strong, you can just teach me some more combat experience. Peng Hui smiled, he agreed without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation.
He understands his father's helplessness with a precocious mind, not to mention that he has already become very strong after the baptism of "dream", and he will not retreat because of this thing, not to mention that he has also experienced a life-and-death battle in "dream", although he has no strong power now, but his courage is still there.
"Hui'er, don't think about this so simply, your father also wanted you to grow up to ten years old. Seeing that Peng Hui still wanted to go in the short term, Qiu Xin suddenly became anxious, and he hurriedly persuaded.
Peng Su was also taken aback, he didn't expect his son to be more decisive than himself, which made him feel embarrassed as a father.
He took a deep look at Peng Hui, and after discovering the composure and perseverance on his face, he finally sighed, and then signaled Qiu Xin to understand Peng Hui.
"Since you both insist, I won't say much, but it's better to go when you're sure. In the end, Qiu Xin knew that the two of them had made up their minds and could not change it, so he could only remind them to be careful.
Peng Hui and his father looked at each other and smiled, these two are really father and son.
............
And after that, Peng Su also began to teach Peng Hui some combat skills, at this time, Peng Hui's fighting methods in the "dream" were also in a state of nominal existence, and he could only remember that he had these, but he just couldn't recall the specifics.
In order to achieve his wish as soon as possible, Peng Hui worked hard every day to exercise his physique, and sometimes the pressure on himself made Peng Su unbearable, but Peng Hui still managed to finish it.
Qiu Xin often cried and red-eyed when he saw the bruises and some wounds on his son's body, and advised Peng Hui many times not to go on like this.
But Peng Hui rarely didn't listen to his mother's words once, and still strengthened the pressure to train himself, under such hard exercise, his physique became very strong in a year, and finally caught up with his father, which can be regarded as reaching the top level among mortals.
His father did not slack off, hoping to go further, and after that, the two of them began to learn from each other, but Peng Hui still did not have as much actual combat experience as his father, so he lost more often.
But this is indeed the best way to learn combat skills, and through the competition with his father, he gradually gained some experience, and the number of defeats is much less.
Eventually, they knew it was time to go, and they were going to enter the Tiandang Mountains to hunt soul beasts.
Of course, because they had to enter this place that even the monks were very afraid of, they had prepared a lot of things, all kinds of knives, potions and traps, after all, although they only moved on the outermost side, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not kill stronger spirit beasts, and they would have to rely on these things to escape when the time came.
After saying goodbye to Qiu Xin, their father and son went on the road, Peng Hui was also seven years old at this time, his size was growing rapidly, he was already enough for Peng Su's chest, and his physique was not weaker than his father, no wonder Peng Su would be so persistent in training Peng Hui.
Along the way, Peng Su told Peng Hui a lot of precautions and reminded him that he should not relax at any time.
Peng Hui listened very carefully, and when he was about to get close to the mountain range, he saw this mountain forest with towering mountains, and he was in a trance. γ
Was everything really a dream? Now Peng Hui remembered those things again, and began to wonder if he had really traveled to the past.
The Tiandang Mountain Range stretched for tens of thousands of miles, and Peng Hui and Peng Su quickly tensed their nerves after entering, and began to set traps along the periphery in places where no one should come, expecting to catch the spirit beast.
Of course, this alone is not enough, they also put bait, in order to attract a lowliest spirit beast, and then trap it, and finally they attack again, this is the safest way.
Peng Hui was very calm at first, but he had not moved for several hours, and he began to slack off, but Peng Su never relaxed, always vigilantly observing.
"Hui'er, prepare, it's coming!" After another while, Peng Su hurriedly asked Peng Hui to refresh himself, the prey they were waiting for was coming.
After saying that, he immediately picked up his weapon, and then Peng Hui also immediately came to his strength, carefully picked up the equipment, and quietly maintained his original appearance under Peng Su's signal, they didn't want to startle the snake, and they wanted to make sure that the spirit beast fell into the trap before thundering.
Of course, although it was hidden in the dark, they still saw the figure of the spirit beast, it was a leopard with a golden horn, and at this time, it was attracted by the bait set by Peng Hui and them, and it was about to approach, and it was about to step on the trap.
Peng Su and Peng Hui both raised their hearts to their throats, and they kept silently chanting "Hurry up, step on it", they had already determined that this time they were really lucky, only one spirit beast was attracted, and it was also within the scope of their hunting ability.
The golden-horned leopard walked slowly, approaching the butcher's shop that Peng Hui had prepared, but just as it was about to open its mouth to take a bite, a string of chains suddenly rushed out from under the dirt, and with spikes, it quickly attacked it.
"Whew!" the golden-horned leopard screamed, and although it reacted quickly and did not get pierced by the tip of the chain, it was still scratched, after all, the chain rushed out of the ground too suddenly and too quickly, and it was also quite frightened.
"It's now!" Peng Su shouted, and then rushed over with his weapon as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and Peng Hui also came out from the other direction, and they divided into two ways to flank the golden-horned leopard.
Both of them were enthusiastic and attacked without fear. (To be continued)
