Chapter Twenty-Five: It's Hard to Find
(Ask for recommended tickets and collections again, do you still have tickets?)
......
In his own small courtyard, Xingtian General General roughly described the situation of the martial arts test, naturally, he didn't say a word about the unfair treatment he received, and he was afraid that his father would worry about him.
And after learning that the blue-shirted man was Xingtianbai's master, Xing Yuanshan was also relieved, he had lived for most of his life, and naturally he also had some experience in seeing people, although the blue-shirted man was shabby, but he looked dignified and had an extraordinary atmosphere, and he was definitely a good teacher for Xingtian.
At this time, Qu Chong said to Xingtian: "Apprentice, as a teacher, you have something to say to your father, you go outside the house first!"
Seeing that his father also nodded to himself, Xingtian could only answer and walked out of the room.
Obviously, the master has something to say to his father alone, and although Xingtian is a little curious, he can't disobey the will of the elders. After looking at the sky and thinking that the two people in the house might not be able to talk for a long time, Xing Tian went out directly and walked towards the small courtyard where Linglong lived.
After three days of separation, Xingtian found that he wanted to see the figure that haunted him more and more, even if it was just listening to her play the piano, it was also a wonderful enjoyment.
I was familiar with the road and arrived at the small courtyard where Linglong lived, but the courtyard door was closed, but there was a copper lock hanging on it.
"Not at home?"
Xingtian was stunned for a moment, so he thought about coming back another day, at this time, a village woman happened to come from the side, but when she saw Xingtian, she smiled and said, "Isn't this the son of the old criminal?"
The woman in this village, Xingtian, also knows, is in the same village, her husband's surname is Guo, but unfortunately she died early, leaving only orphans and widows, everyone calls him Guo Sister-in-law, of course, Xingtian's generation can only be called Guo Auntie.
"Hello Aunt Guo!"
"Are you going to find this family?" Aunt Guo seemed to see Xingtian's intentions, but said in a low voice: "You don't know yet, this family moved away three days ago, I have long said that the two girls in this family came strangely, and they came suddenly, and they left suddenly......"
Moved away?
Aunt Guo didn't listen to a word of what Aunt Guo said, but his brain was buzzing, and his heart sank vigorously, and when Aunt Guo, who was dealing with the good thing, left, Xing Tian slowly walked to the door of the small courtyard, and then took out a key from his arms.
This key was given to him by Linglong a long time ago, when Linglong joked that if she moved out one day, she would send the small courtyard to Xingtian.
Unexpectedly, this joke turned out to be true at that time.
Xingtian couldn't understand why Linglong wanted to move away, even if she wanted to leave, she should have told herself in advance, and why did she say that she would wait for herself when she was parting that day?
Or did Linglong suddenly encounter something urgent and had to leave, if so, then she should have told herself three days ago.
Is it an unspeakable suffering?
Suddenly, Xing Tian thought of the sad face that Linglong had inadvertently revealed some time ago, and he was even more sure of this kind of speculation in his heart.
Distraught, Xingtian reached out the key to the door lock and twisted it, and heard a click, and the copper lock opened.
Xingtian pushed the door in, and it was still the same clean courtyard, but at this moment many things had been packed away, such as the tea set on the stone table, such as the guqin.
It's the same in the house, the furniture is there, but some of the little things are taken away. I can feel that the owner of this place is not leaving for a while, but really moving away and will not come back. In addition, Xing Tian also saw the deed of this small courtyard on the table in the house, which was obviously left to him by Linglong.
For a while, Xingtian only felt a sense of coldness, his heart was troubled, and at the same time full of questions,
"What happened?" Xing Tian looked around, the scene of him and Linglong talking and laughing here in the past was still vivid, but he didn't expect that in just three days, it turned out to be a thing or a person.
Xingtian doesn't have many friends, in his heart, Linglong is the most important person besides his father, not to mention the kind of affection between men and women, for a while he was at a loss, standing on the spot, and his heart was like numbness.
I don't know how long later, there was a sound of pushing the door outside the house, and Xingtian suddenly jumped out after hearing it, but after seeing that it was Master Qu Chong who came in outside, his eyes that were originally full of expectation dimmed again.
"The world is sentimental, it can be seen that the way of heaven is unfair, and he doesn't care about his concubine's intentions, the mirrors and flowers are empty, sighing bitterly for a lifetime, it is difficult to find a good shadow, thousands of jade dews fall, a cup of loess with a golden wind!" Qu Chong sighed to himself with his hands behind his back, this poem Xingtian had heard before, but when he heard it at this moment, he heard some clues from it.
"Master, could it be that you already knew ......" Xingtian's heart moved, thinking of Qu Chong's ability, but a glimmer of hope swelled up.
Qu Chong nodded, but walked in slowly and said: "I saw that at the beginning of you, I used the arithmetic technique of asking the gods to divinate the good fortune for you, this love word is your calamity, listen to the teacher's words, let this matter go, don't pursue it again, this is the best for you." Otherwise, no matter how hard you struggle, it will be difficult to change your fate with manpower, and in the end you will only end up in the golden wind of loess and miserable for a lifetime!"
Xing Tian was stunned, he didn't expect his master to say this, but Xing Tian was stubborn, admitting death, congenital deficiencies and ascetic martial arts, how could he give up so simply what he believed?
Besides, even if you let go, you can't let go of anything, Linglong's thing, Xingtian can't let go, even if you kill him, you can't let go.
Thinking of this, Xing Tian didn't say much, but he bowed to Qu Chong, and he couldn't afford it, kneeling on the ground, extremely respectful.
Xing Tian knew that at this time, only Qu Chong could help him.
If there was still a bit of distraction in Xingtian's apprenticeship before, then at this moment his worship is sincere.
Qu Chong shook his head again and again, his face was bitter, he didn't speak, Xingtian was also stubborn, and he couldn't stand on his knees, and a pair of master and apprentice were so deadlocked.
An Hour......
Two Hours......
It was already dark, Xing Tian kept that posture and didn't move, and finally three hours later, Qu Chong sighed as if he had made some decision.
"It's just that I'm not so particular about it, and I've done anything out of the ordinary for so many years, and I don't care about it again. If you kowtow, you are my apprentice, if I don't help you, who will help you?"
......
In the early morning of the next day, Qu Chong and Xingtian, the master and apprentice, left Wajin Village, and when he left, Xingtian kowtowed to his father three times, and Xing Yuanshan knew that his son was going out with his master to learn art, so he was naturally very excited, and he didn't know what Qu Chong said to him alone yesterday, in short, Xing Yuanshan told his son that he must listen to his master.
"Xiaotian, remember, the teacher is the father, outside, Brother Qu is your second father, you must be obedient, if you don't respect the teacher, I won't be the first to agree!"
Thinking that he would not see his son for a few years, Xing Yuanshan was also a little reluctant, it can be said that he had been instructed by a thousand times, until Xing Tianhe and his figure left Wajin Village, and Xing Yuanshan saw that old tears flowed down his face.
Xingtian is not like this, but Qu Chong said when he saw this: "Don't worry, I secretly gave your father a small hexagram, your father will have a lot of good days in the future, but it's you, have you really made a decision?"
Xing Tian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but nodded firmly.
Seeing this, Qu Chong also knew that his apprentice had made up his mind, so he said slowly: "Just like the teacher said last night, that girl called Linglong is very big and has an extremely hard fate, although there is an intersection with you, but you and her fate are destined to be difficult to form a pair, even so, do you still have to go to her?"
Xingtian still nodded.
"Okay, for the teacher, use the Ask the Heavenly God algorithm, and already know where she is now, so I'll take you around! It will take at least half a month to travel along the way, and during this time, the teacher will start teaching you something!"
The two of them made their way north, only on foot.
On the first day, Qu Chong asked Xingtian about Xingtian's current martial arts cultivation, but he said: "The initial cultivation of the quenching body, but unfortunately the cultivation is too low, just when we are in a hurry, I will first teach you a set of footwork, called 'Tianshan Yunbu', it is when I traveled to the Tianshan Mountains in the western country in my early years, I learned a martial art in the quenching period, which is suitable for the cultivation of martial artists in the early stage of quenching.
Hearing that it was a footwork martial arts, Xing Tian was shocked, you must know that the martial arts of the quenching period are full of flowers, but especially the footwork is the most rare and precious.
Since it is a martial art, it is not a day's work to learn it, and in the next few days, Xingtian spent the rest of his time practicing this martial art in addition to hurrying. In addition, Qu Chong also kept reciting some inexplicable mantras to Xingtian, and asked Xingtian to forcibly write them down.
And when Xingtian asked what these mantras were, Qu Chong shook his head and said nothing, and when he was asked in a hurry, he threatened not to take Xingtian to see Linglong, but Xingtian had no choice but to give up.
Naturally, the purple gourd has always been taken by Xingtian, and it is difficult to hide it from Qu Chong day and night all the way, but Qu Chong's eyes showed a trace of essence except for the first time when he saw the purple gourd, but then he turned a blind eye, which made Xingtian feel that he was too petty. During this period of contact, Qu Chong has changed from a charlatan at the beginning to a master in Xingtian's heart, at least Xingtian knows that the other party is helping him wholeheartedly. According to Xingtian's thoughts, he thinks that this purple gourd is a treasure, maybe the master and his old man still can't look down on it.
It's just that Qu Chong later took an opportunity to warn Xingtian that the origin of the purple gourd had become a mystery, and even he used 'Ask the Heavenly God Arithmetic' to scrutinize, but he could only see a fog, which was obviously a treasure, let Xingtian collect it carefully, and don't let others peep after seeing it.
On the second day, Xingtian was already able to perform the footwork in the 'Tianshan Cloud Step' to hurry, and the more this martial art was used, the better the effect of cultivation, for several days, Xingtian was immersed in this martial arts, and on the seventh day, this Tianshan Cloud Step, Xingtian was already able to show his nose and eyes, and when he was against the enemy, he was also treacherous, making people unable to guard against it.
And these days, the relationship between Qu Chong and Xingtian is getting better and better, and slowly, Xingtian can also feel that his master actually has a lot of sorrows, many stories, sometimes when the bright moon is empty, the master will make a pot of old wine, sit on the roof, look at the moon and drink, and look gloomy.
