was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly a noise woke up Ah Chen and the brothers. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my mother with a pale face beside me, and my father was roaring and shouting, and I didn't know who he was scolding. It seems that the mother was afraid that the angry father would hurt the brothers.

"Why should I stay in the countryside and do all those jobs like cows and horses?Why can't I live better?" The furious father was full of wine, "I think at the beginning, I was also a dignified three-rank samurai, a thirteen-year-old three-rank samurai, how many people can achieve a three-rank samurai at the age of thirteen?Not to mention that I am still more than a third-rank cultivator?" My father's face was flushed, his muscles were bruised, he raised his hand and grabbed a clay basin next to him, and slammed it: "Why didn't that dead old man let me join the garrison legion?" The boss can go, but I can't go? What is the reason?" As if this could not vent the frustration and sorrow in his heart, his father suddenly turned around and rushed to the courtyard, and roared towards the sky: "Ah, I hate it, hate" This thunderous roar frightened the two brothers and mother of Ah Chen, and the mother and son hugged each other tightly, shrinking in the corner and not daring to move!

Ah Chen closed his eyes tightly, only felt a burst of pain in his head, there seemed to be thousands of lightning flashes in front of him, his mind was frantic and painful, it seemed that a fragile thing in his heart was about to shatter into nothingness, and it seemed that countless wisps of dark and evil aura were entwined in the underworld, and he was entangled in himself, and his chest seemed to be strangled by dozens of iron hoops, and he was about to suffocate at any time. He hugged his mother's arm in pain: "Mother, I'm so uncomfortable, mother, I'm so hurt" Xiao Yue also hugged his mother in horror: "Mother, I'm also afraid!" The mother hugged her two sons tightly, and just subconsciously comforted the children: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my mother is here, my mother is here"

Perhaps it was his mother's comfort, and in the depths of Ah Chen's heart, a vague light suddenly appeared, which seemed soft and warm, as if to soothe his broken heart

After a while, there was no sound in the courtyard, and perhaps my father had gone outside to vent his temper.

The mother and son gradually eased their breath, and Ah Chen slowly regained his calm. He raised his head and asked his mother, "Mother, why does my father drink and go crazy every time?" I'm scared, I don't want my father to be like this." Every time my father gets drunk and goes crazy and beats someone, I'm afraid that he will beat you and my brother and me, I hate him!"

"Alas," the mother sighed sadly, "after you fell asleep, your father sat down again and sulked, and he drank the wine on the table again, and then he went mad!"

"Why is Dad unhappy?" asked Ah Chen.

The mother shook her head, looked at the brothers, and said for a long time: "Actually, you should have heard about your father, right?"

"Well, I've heard a few, but it's not very clear. ”

Tears slowly flowed from her mother's eyes: "Since you have all heard about it, I don't have to hide it from you, I used to worry that you were not sensible and made him angry by saying something in front of your father, but now it seems that there is no need to hide it." ”

It turned out that Ah Chen's grandfather, Yuan Yifu, moved to Tianhe Town to live, and the original family was not wealthy, and the original Yifu got married late. Ah Chen's father, Yuan Lie, grew up here since he was a child, and the Holy Emperor Dynasty practiced martial arts, and this is no exception, and the teenagers of every family will worship in the Tianhe Martial Arts Hall in the town, or practice martial arts under the door of a famous teacher in the town. However, those with ordinary roots and mediocre qualifications may only be able to use martial arts to strengthen their bodies and not achieve great achievements. And Yuan Lie has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child. Although his family is not wealthy and cannot provide more resources for martial arts training, Yuan Lie has reached the third-rank samurai with his own understanding and tenacity. You must know that the martial arts cultivators of the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, even if they have a wealthy family and can provide a lot of financial resources and resources, it is not easy to reach the rank of a third-rank warrior at the age of thirteen. And Ah Chen's father, Yuan Lie, has a shabby family background and lack of resources, and he has achieved three products by virtue of his unique understanding and extraordinary diligence.

Martial arts, the first emphasis on cultivating the body, from a young age to pay attention to a reasonable diet, supplemented by secret medicine, apprenticeship to learn the secret method, slowly began to boil the skin film as hard as nails, temper the tendons, tough flesh and blood, and then quench the bones, change the marrow, refine the gods, the body and the spirit are one, and then condense the yuan, the prototype of spiritual ideas, and finally can glimpse the avenue. Of course, just cultivating the physical body cannot be called a martial artist, so martial arts cultivators must find famous teachers to practice martial arts and improve their fighting ability, so as to be a veritable martial artist.

In short, the nine layers of martial cultivation quenching body are the first grade of the armor body, the second grade of strong tendons, the third grade of hundred refining, the fourth grade of King Kong, the fifth grade of true essence, the sixth grade of blood change, the seventh grade of condensation, the eighth grade of divine will, and the ninth grade of peep Tao. The realm after entering the Tao with martial arts, but no one knows. Perhaps only the Inhumans and Celestials of ancient legends can know, right?

Quenching the body is not a simple way to boil up energy, it is necessary to have a practice of the mind and mantra as the general outline of cultivation, these practice secrets, good and bad are very different, as for what kind of secret method can be practiced, it depends on their respective opportunities and fate. Therefore, finding the best exercises is also the goal that martial cultivators strive for.

Yuan Lie brothers three, the eldest brother Yuan Cong is seven years older than Yuan Lie, although the talent is not as good as Yuan Lie, but also reached the realm of the second grade of strong muscles, just when Yuan Cong was eighteen years old, the Holy Emperor Dynasty recruited strong men to defend southern Xinjiang. The Yanghuo Dynasty in southern Xinjiang was rebellious and stubborn, not remembering the grace of the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty to save the poor several times, and repeatedly violated the Holy Heaven Frontier. Yuan Cong martial arts realm is ordinary, but he is quite clever, mixed in the army, repeatedly promoted, after a few years in the army, he became a captain, and set up several third-class combat merits, a second-class combat exploits. In the few correspondence with his eldest brother, Yuan Lie was very envious of his eldest brother Yuan Cong, and longed for a career in the military camp, eager to join the army, and with his skills and efforts, he could fight for a wife. And because Yuan Lie has outstanding talent, his talent in cultivation is widely known, and Yuan Lie has a tall figure, light eyebrows and deep eyes, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle, so the warriors and good deeds of Tianhe Town call him "Yuan Men Lie Eagle". It means that Yuan Lie is the eagle of the warrior and will soar into the sky. Moreover, Yuan Lie is among his classmates in the school, and he is also well-known for his intelligence and sensitivity, and Yuan Lie is outstanding in both civil and military affairs, and everyone thinks that Yuan Lie will be extraordinary in the future. Under the mouths of the people, Yuan Lie naturally has the idea of getting ahead, glorifying his ancestors, and eminent lintel. As for the old three original returns, Xiao Yuan Lie is five years old, but he does not practice martial arts, does not read, likes to wander outside, although he seems to be not doing his job, but he is also flexible, ingenious, among the three brothers, he is the most free, plus walking in the world, black and white are mixed, the family is not rich, but the life is also comfortable.

It is said that when Yuan Lie was sixteen years old, he was conscripted by the Holy Emperor Dynasty to deal with the invasion of the northern Gegao tribe, Yuan Lie was full of hope and went to apply for the test and inspection. I never thought that Yuan Lie's father, Yuan Yifu, thought that his eldest son had gone to defend southern Xinjiang, and Yuan Lie did not need to follow in the footsteps of his eldest brother, but should shoulder the burden of the family. Then, naturally, it can only be Yuan Lie as the backbone of the family, how can he still be allowed to enlist in the army?

The military service laws of the Holy Heavenly Dynasty did not force all men of appropriate age to enlist in the army, but qualified men were encouraged to join the army to serve the dynasty. Therefore, although Yuan Lie passed the test, because the eldest brother had already joined the army and served the dynasty, the official could not forcibly recruit Yuan Lie into the army, and he still needed to volunteer. As a result, when his father, who was over fifty, asked him to stay at home and not enlist in the army, even if he was unwilling in every way, Yuan Lie's enthusiasm could only dissipate in his stomach. began to take on the responsibility of supporting his family, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and even Tianhe Martial Arts Hall didn't go much. Seeing this situation, the owner of the Tianhe Martial Arts Pavilion also sighed, feeling sorry for this genius.

As the saying goes, there is no double blessing, but there is no single line of evil. In the five years that followed, the dynasty issued two conscription orders in response to sudden invasions of the frontier. Yuan Lie's ambition is not dead, and he secretly went to apply for the test twice, and the official naturally encouraged and hoped again. However, Yuan Yifu did not agree with Yuan Lie to leave home and guard the frontier. At this time, Yuan Cong had already retired from the army and returned to his hometown, because Yuan Cong did not want to leave his hometown, so he found an errand in the city as the chief patrol of the yamen, and married a wife and had children, and set up his own door. When the third child of the original family grew up, he wandered all day long, and rarely went home, and the family was even more inseparable from Yuan Lie to take charge of the main beam, so how could he go to serve in the army?

After these three blows, Yuan Lie has lost his ambition of the past, although his eyes are still sharp, he has abandoned the martial arts, and his ambition has disappeared, leaving only helplessness and depression, and even often borrowing alcohol to kill his sorrows. Soon after, Yuan Yifu found a family for Yuan Lie, and asked Yuan Lie to marry a woman surnamed Qin from the next village, so as to tie up Yuan Lie's unstable heart. After starting a family and starting a business, he set up his own door and wanted to support his family, so Yuan Lie was completely dead. And the martial cultivators of Tianhe Town no longer envy this former "Yuanmen Fierce Eagle", and even some despicable people secretly call Yuan Lie "Yuanmen Grass Chicken", which is extremely ridiculous. These cold words reached Yuan Lie's ears, which naturally made this former proud son of heaven doubly shocked, depressed and depressed, and since then he has been depressed, and after marriage, he often drank and went crazy, beating his wife and children.

After listening to their mother Qin's words, Ah Chen's brothers really and thoroughly understood what kind of bitterness and depression their father had over the years. Qin Shi looked at the brothers and said softly: "Actually, over the years, your father has also had a lot of bitterness in his heart, I don't blame him, but he shouldn't treat you brothers like this, every time he goes home, he doesn't have a good face, and often beats and scolds you, at this point, my father is sorry for you, he is unwilling to teach you martial arts, which is understandable, but he shouldn't give you so much torture." I have advised your father, but he is so addicted to his past that he will not listen to me, and alas, he has suffered you, poor child!" said the mother, and put her arms around the brother and sister tightly.

"Mother, don't be sad, I know my father is uncomfortable. Although Ah Chen couldn't understand his father's sorrow, he comforted his mother sensibly: "I hope my father can get better!"

"Mmmm, I also hope that Daddy will become a big hero in the past. Xiao Yue also said with a look of admiration.

Qin just let out a low sigh

"By the way, mother, what time is it?, do you think your in-laws will come back?" Ah Chen was still thinking about it.

Qin wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled: "I don't know, maybe, you can get up tomorrow morning and have a look! It's almost time, you should go to bed!"

"Oh. ”

The night is getting thicker and thicker, and it is just over half the hour, which is the turn of today and tomorrow. The air around the original house seemed to become turbulent and mysterious, and several vague shadows suddenly appeared in the air, these shadows seemed to be human, real and illusory, and unstable. Sometimes these shadows were eager to enter the house, and sometimes they were frightened and hurried away.

After tossing back and forth like this for a long time, finally, these shadows gathered in a circle, chirping and wailing in a low voice, as if they were singing a sad song, and seemed to be arguing about something, and finally, these shadows gradually melted into a huge ball of light and shadow, which was silent above the original home, and the little starlight in the sky was gradually attracted and disappeared into the light and shadow. Wisps of netherworld aura rose from the earth, and it quietly blended into the light and shadow. The light and shadow gradually condensed, emitting a purple light, and the purple light swayed, like a flame jumping and flickering. The purple flame kept burning, and after about a quarter of an hour, the purple flame became more distinct and vivid. But it was not swaying, but condensed into a bright purple light. Suddenly, the purple light suddenly flashed and disappeared into the original house

Ah Chen, who was asleep, only felt that his body was suddenly uncomfortable, cold and hot, and after the discomfort, he was relaxed and comfortable, so he fell asleep even more sweetly

The strange scene on the roof of the original house, in the middle of the night of the Halloween Festival in this town, every household has already closed their doors and slept peacefully, and this suburban farmer does not seem to have attracted anyone's attention.
