Chapter 12: Going Home
Master Sorrow has not yet woken up from the shock and thinking, this side Yuan Zhichen has slowly raised his palms to the sky, and then slowly pressed down under the dantian, and let out a long breath, which has already been completed. Opening his eyes, Yuan Zhichen asked, "Master, do you think there's anything wrong with my practice?"
"Oh, no, no, you're doing well! By the way, do you feel uncomfortable or anything special?" asked Master Sorrow.
Yuan Zhichen heard that he didn't practice anymore, and he was also very happy, and when he heard Master Sorrow ask, he tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "Well, there is no special feeling, it's just that the body is more comfortable, but"
Master Sorrow was startled: "But what?"
Yuan Zhichen pursed his lips: "I just feel a little weird in my heart, I can't say it!"
"Huh, that's how it feels?" said Master Grim was a little nervous. "Hmm. ”
Master Sorrow hurriedly sat down in front of this Yuan Zhichen and said, "You do a good job, relax, let me take a closer look." ”
Yuan Zhichen hurriedly sat upright, Master Sorrow, and looked at Yuan Zhichen's eyes carefully, although they were no longer as bright as before, their eyes were clear and pure, there was no look of enchantment, their breathing was normal, and their bodies seemed to be normal. Master Sorrow was not at ease, and carefully checked it several times, but still did not find anything wrong.
"Strange, there's nothing wrong with it!" muttered Master Sorrow.
"Forget it, it should be that this kid has just practiced this Heart Sutra, maybe he is a little uncomfortable, right?" Master Sorrow thought in his heart.
So, Master Sorrow comforted: "Xiao Chen, maybe you just practiced this thing, and you are still a little unaccustomed to it, it doesn't matter, with logistics and practice, it will slowly get better!"
Yuan Zhichen nodded: "Got it, master!"
Outside the hall, Yuan Lie and Jiaxiu Gongzi were talking without a word. This Jiaxiu Gongzi seems to have a deep friendship with Yuan Lie, but he is still in this Jiuzhi Temple and does not leave the mountain immediately.
Seeing that Master Sorrow River came out with Yuan Zhichen, Yuan Lie hurriedly greeted him: "Master, how is it?" Jiaxiu Gongzi and Uncle Sun also followed to see the child's situation.
"Don't worry, this kid is very good and well-behaved!" said Master Sorrow smiled.
Yuan Zhichen was also sensible and comforted his father: "Dad, I'm fine!" Seeing that this child was so considerate, Yuan Zhichen also touched Yuan Zhichen's head lovingly.
"Master, you said you would help me, but don't forget it!" Before everyone could speak, Yuan Zhichen shouted at Master Sorrow again.
"I won't forget it, I won't forget it!" said Master Sorrowful. Everyone laughed too.
Yuan Lie also smiled and patted his son's little head: "Little broken child, how did you talk to the master?"
Master Sorrow smiled and said: "Yuan Lie, your kid's desire to practice martial arts is very strong, it seems that if I don't help him fulfill this wish, I'm afraid he won't let me go!"
"The master is serious, this kid probably thinks that martial arts training is good, perhaps, he gave up after suffering hardships. How dare you blame the master?" Yuan Lie said busily.
didn't wait for Master Sorrow to speak, but the Jiaxiu son on the side teased Yuan Zhichen: "Xiao Chen, you want to learn martial arts, don't bother the master, I can help you find a good master, how about going to Tianfeng County with me?" I promise to find you a powerful master!" Ning Jiaxiu said with a half-hearted smile.
Under his selfishness, Jiaxiu Gongzi hopes that this enigmatic child can be brought to be cultivated well, and see if he can teach a man of the hour.
Yuan Zhichen tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Thank you, big brother, but I want to listen to the master's opinion." Besides, I don't want to be too far away from my parents right now!"
Ning Jiaxiu smiled and touched the little boy's head: "It's okay, when you grow up in the future, you can go to Tianfeng County to play with your big brother, right?"
"Okay!" Yuan Zhichen also responded happily.
Master Sorrow saw that Ning Jiaxiu was reluctant to give up his love for this child, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "In the end, he is a child of a family, and his vision is really not ordinary." This Ning Gongzi is open-minded and long-term, and his achievements in the future are also extraordinary. ”
Yuan Lie didn't say much, just looked at Master Sorrow, and stopped talking.
Master Sorrow said strangely: "Yuan Lie, you have something to say!"
Yuan Lie hurriedly said: "Master, my child is only seven years old this year, the child is stubborn and ignorant, and he still needs me and his mother to discipline him. Besides, with such a young child, I don't worry about him staying away from us. So, I don't want him to stay away from home in order to practice martial arts. ”
After listening to Yuan Lie's words, Master Sorrow also groaned: "What you said is not unreasonable. However, I promised him that he would grant him his wish, and you know that if you left this child in town, it would not be of much help to him. If you find a mediocre master, you can't teach and train well, and you just waste the child's time. ”
Yuan Lie also knew that in this Tianhe Town, although there are martial arts halls and many martial artists, but if he wants to find an excellent master, he does not, even if he is talented, he does not dare to say that he taught his son very well. Besides, it is impossible to teach children martial arts out of nothing if they are talented, but at the moment, children cannot be far away from their parents' hometown. It's hard to think about.
"If this is not the case, there is an acquaintance of mine in the county seat Lei Huo Martial Arts Hall, who has been helped by me, I see him as a person, and his cultivation is quite good, but he is a very different martial artist, and he is quite insightful in cultivation, so I also appreciate it. Right now, he is working as a teacher in the Thunder Fire Martial Arts Pavilion. According to his cultivation, it is enough to be a master for this child now. I can let this child go to the thunder fire, and let the acquaintance take care of and teach this child. What do you think?" asked Master Sorrowful.
Yuan Lie thought for a while and said, "If you go to the county seat to learn martial arts, I think it is feasible." My brother is also working in the city on an errand and is in good place to take care of the child. Moreover, the county seat is dozens of miles away from Tianhe Town, which is not too far. It should be fine, but I'll ask the kid what he means. ”
Yuan Zhichen had already shouted by himself: "I am willing to go to the county seat to learn martial arts, it is not very far from home, and my father can go to see me when he is free." Besides, Lin Yin is also in the city, and I also have company. Actually, there was another reason why he didn't say it, Yuan Zhichen always heard Lin Yin talk about the fun of the county, and he wanted to see it for a long time. After all, a seven-year-old child is playful by nature, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Seeing the cheering appearance of Na Yuan Zhichen, Master Sorrow River quipped lovingly: "When I go there, I learn martial arts, not play." If you play and discard what you've learned, that's not what you're supposed to do!"
"Well, master, I know," Yuan Zhichen said firmly, "I won't forget my goal! However, I think I should rest and relax when I have free time, right?
Master Sorrow said: "Just remember, don't let your father down! In this way, I will immediately go to repair a book and let you bring it, and my acquaintance will naturally understand." ”
Yuan Lie hurriedly said: "There is Master Lao!"
Master Sorrow went to repair the book himself, leaving everyone to wait outside the hall. After half a pillar of incense, the master had already come out and handed the letter to Yuan Lie: "When you get to the thunder fire, go to find this person!" Yuan Lie took the letter and looked at it, nodding.
Ning Jiaxiu saw that their affairs had been dealt with, so he said: "Master, I will stay in the town for one night tonight, the master will rest for a long time, and I will come to invite the master tomorrow." He said to Yuan Lie again: "Brother Yuan, you and I might as well go down the mountain together, I have chariots and horses waiting at the bottom of the mountain." I see that Xiao Chen is also tired and inconvenient to walk, so how about taking my carriage back to the town?"
Yuan Lie originally wanted to refuse, but looking at the child's face, he agreed.
A few people said goodbye to Master Sorrow, and went down the mountain together, and Master Sorrow River also went to rest without mentioning it.
Yuan Lie carried the child on his back, talked and laughed with Jiaxiu Gongzi and his party all the way, and walked down the mountain. It was past noon, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, and when they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, they suddenly saw a figure on the side of the road. Everyone looked at him, but it was an old man of about fifty with ragged clothes and sloppy yellow hair. The old man was tall and had a yellow beard.
"Ah, it's an old madman!" Yuan Zhichen exclaimed as he looked at the sloppy figure, and hurriedly hugged his father tightly with both hands.
It's no wonder that in the morning, when the Yuan Zhichen brothers went out to play, they were followed by the old madman, and they were already scared. Right now, this old madman suddenly appeared here again, staring at Yuan Zhichen with a pair of ringed eyes, no wonder Yuan Zhichen was frightened.
Yuan Lie and Jia Xiu Gongzi, as well as Uncle Sun, all looked at the old madman vigilantly, this guy's eyes were too terrifying, and it was obviously aimed at Yuan Zhichen, like a monster ready to burst out and devour people at any time, as if there were some bad intentions.
Yuan Lie couldn't help but be surprised, this old madman is usually crazy and confused, but he hasn't heard that it hurts people, Yuan Lie also often encounters it, and sometimes sends him something to eat. But right now, this old madman is two people who are completely different from usual. I can't help but be secretly vigilant and gather momentum, and teach this beastly madman a lesson at any time.
The old madman stared at Yuan Zhichen for a while, and let out a hoarse cry in his throat, like a beast roaring, as if he was whispering to himself. The eyes are sometimes clear, sometimes confused.
Yuan Zhichen peeked at the old madman, and he didn't dare to come out.
Everyone did not dare to make any moves, and they all kept an eye on the old madman to prevent him from committing any atrocities.
After a while, the old madman, who seemed to have fallen into a state of madness again, gradually faded his eyes, and became confused again, and then roared loudly, turned and burrowed into the bushes, and disappeared in three strokes.
"Whew" Everyone let out a long breath and looked at each other suspiciously.
Yuan Lie sighed: "This old madman is also pitiful, I don't know where he came from, he has been in this town for many years, and he has always been crazy. I have never seen an old madman look so scary!" he shook his head and beckoned everyone to continue descending the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, those carriages and horses were waiting, these people had already maintained the previous team, and they were not loose and free because the master did not arrive, it could be seen that the people of the Ning family were really well-trained.
Seeing that his son-in-law came down the mountain, it seemed that he was still bringing outsiders, and the two leading men in the team hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but they did not peek at Yuan Lie's father and son, and they really kept their duty. For the guards of the Ning family, the master's affairs are not something that he can speculate and interfere with. On the one hand, it is true that the Ning family is well-governed, and on the other hand, it is also a respect for the master.
Yuan Lie refused Ning Jiaxiu's invitation to ride together, and only rode a spare horse in the team. And Yuan Zhichen was still very weak, so he was taken into the car by the son of Jia Xiu.
Those Ning family guards and maidservants, seeing that the child brought by the master, although the clothes were quite clean, but it was just an ordinary child, but they were so valued, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised. You must know that Ning Jiaxiu is a handsome son, and he is a little clean, and he usually does not allow outsiders to enter his car, but now this rustic child is being carried by him into the car, which is incredible.
After Jiaxiu Gongzi entered the car and sat down, Uncle Sun said to the two men at the head of the team: "Lei Chao, Zhu Biao, stay in the town tonight, and Gongzi needs to come tomorrow." Now go back to the town first, the road will go slower, no need to rush!"
The two men agreed, and then ordered the team to set off, and the group headed towards the sky and the town in an orderly manner.
