The sun in the west burned the clouds around him red, like a great red cloth covering the sky.

Lin Qing looked at the sunset on the horizon and asked the young man beside him, "Why did your father name you Yan Hong?" ”

Yan Hong was stunned, and then asked, "Do you think red is not good-looking or not good-looking?" ”

Lin Qing waved his hand again and again, he was tired of being chased by the young man next to him, but he didn't want to run anymore, the two of them were panting against a tree.

"I didn't mean that, I was just curious." Qing'er hurriedly explained.

Yan Hong glanced at Lin Qing with her eyes, and then said, "Because every time people in the city have a happy event, they will come to our house to buy red cloth." The red cloth represents festivity, and when I was born, my father was so happy that he gave me this name. ”

Lin Qing listened to Yan Hong's explanation and nodded silently.

"What about you? Why are you called Lin Qing? Yan Hong then asked.

Lin Qing squeaked for a long time and said, "I don't know, my grandfather hasn't told me this." I don't know if my name was given to me by my grandfather or by my grandfather......"

Yan Hong patted Lin Qing on the shoulder, and then sighed like an adult: "Although the name is your own, most of the time it is called by others. It doesn't matter how he came to be, what does it mean! As long as I know you, even if you call it Two Woods! ”

Lin Qing muttered and said, "Why two woods?" ”

Yan Hong rolled his eyes and said, "Lin is two pieces of wood!" You'll be two pieces of wood from now on! ”

Lin Qing only consulted two woods, but he didn't find that Yan Hong's two woods were called himself, so he refused a little at the moment: "I don't want to be two woods!" ”

Yan Hong immediately retorted: "Then you should be wood!" ”

After saying that, he made a grimace and ran away, and Lin Qing chased after him.

The red sun in the west has sunk half of its body. In the afterglow, the outline of the city wall in the distance can still be seen.

The red faded and was replaced by a crescent moon in the east.

The evening breeze is light, and the moon is clear.

……

……

……

Lin Qing returned to the wooden house, and the moon was already half empty.

Seeing the grandfather sitting in front of the hall, Lin Qing suddenly felt a little afraid. Grandpa saw Lin Qing enter the house, but he still didn't speak, which made Lin Qing even more confused.

After a while, Lin Qing timidly opened his mouth.

Lin Qing looked at the grandpa with a serious face and said, "Grandpa, I'm back." ”

The voice was very small, as if I had done something wrong and had no confidence in my heart.

Grandpa shook his body, maybe he was a little stiff after sitting for a long time, Lin Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Under the dim oil lamp, Lin Qing saw the wrinkled grandfather, and his heart seemed to take a breath of the cold wind of the moon.

In Lin Qing's memory, Grandpa has always been that kind and kind-eyed look. Even when he is angry, he is still a little kind. He never thought about how Grandpa looked old, although Grandpa often said that he was old.

However, today for the first time, he felt that the old man in front of him, his grandfather, was already in the twilight.

Grandpa got up with Lin Qing's support.

Looking at Lin Qing on the side, Grandpa said: "The green lamp is dry, and the old tree is dry. When you grow up, Grandpa will naturally grow old. ”

Lin Qing listened silently on the side, listening to Grandpa's words.

The old man put his hand on Lin Qing's body and said, "The road in the future will eventually have to be walked by yourself." You have to make your own choices, and you have to face it yourself. Grandpa has only one request, what you choose, you have to bear! ”

Lin Qing nodded silently, he could understand Grandpa's words, but he didn't understand the meaning of Grandpa's words.

The old man turned around and continued, "Maybe you can't understand it now, but you will understand it later. ”

Lin Qing responded softly.

After Grandpa fell asleep, Lin Qing stood under the moon and thought for a long time.

At this time, the insects and frogs in the valley were noisy.

He thought that Grandpa would reprimand him for his playfulness, but Grandpa didn't. Lin Qing thought about what Grandpa told him, and thought about it for a long time, but after all, he still didn't understand what Grandpa wanted to tell him.

So he had to silently write down this sentence in his heart, and he knew that he would definitely understand it in the future. He just hoped that it would not be too late for him to understand this, and not exceed the speed of Grandpa's aging.

He can be a child without a father, but he can't be a child without a grandfather. Grandpa is all he has, his father, his mother and his mentor and friend.

For the first time in his life, Lin Qing felt this thing, it was a heart-wrenching but not painful feeling.

The reason why he was worried was because of Grandpa, who was aging step by step, and because Grandpa said something that he couldn't understand tonight. Because he knew what Grandpa wanted to say to him. But Grandpa didn't say it directly, but chose to let him understand it slowly, and there must be Grandpa's intentions in this.

He knew that in Grandpa's heart, he was no longer the ignorant teenager he was back then.

But in Lin Qing's heart, Grandpa will always be the kind Grandpa.

Xia Worm was noisy in the courtyard, and the troubles in Lin Qing's heart echoed in the valley, making him unable to sleep for a long time.

……

……

On the second day, Lin Qing woke up under the push of his grandfather, and Lin Qing quickly jumped up after stretching his waist halfway. The mouth kept shouting: "It's over, it's over......"

Grandpa looked at the anxious Lin Qing and comforted: "It's still early!" ”

Lin Qing glanced out the window, took a steamed bun and began to run towards the courtyard. Grandpa had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and said to himself: "This kid! ”

This was the first time Lin Qing had slept so deeply, even if he had practiced hard in the past, he had never encountered such a thing. It's just that because of tossing and turning last night, Lin Qing also forgot when he fell asleep.

Lin Qing ran on the trail in the back mountain, nibbling on steamed buns while running. Because he ran too fast, he almost didn't choke on steamed buns, so he stopped and slapped his chest twice.

Lin Qing looked up at the sky again, and found that it was still early, so he slowed down.

I thought in my heart how could I sleep so dead, if it weren't for Grandpa, it would have delayed the big event.

Lin Qing came to the courtyard, and the Shanmen Dojo began to gather people. More than a dozen teachers were still present, but they had not yet seen Huayang real people.

When the sun in the east climbed to the mountainside of Tingzhaofeng, the mountain gate dojo was already overcrowded.

In the circular enchantment surrounded by dozens of teaching teachers, Lin Qing and eight other disciples lined up among them, and Huayang Zhenren was also among them at this time.

is still so familiar with Huayang Zhenren, as well as his familiar precepts, as if he has not changed the wording for many years.

As Huayang Zhenren's voice landed, the duel began.

However, what Lin Qing didn't expect was that his first duel actually faced Yan Hong.

Lin Qing and Yan Hong entered the arena, and the two of them seemed to be smiling, making the group of disciples around them confused.

Yan Hong looked at Lin Qing, who was stupid, and shouted, "Wood, I won't show mercy!" ”

After speaking, he quickly formed a palm print, urging the Yuan Force in his body.

Qingxiu's face suddenly had a hint of ruthlessness, as if he wanted to let the other party taste it.

When Lin Qing saw Yan Hong move, he immediately came back to his senses, and his fingers quickly interlaced.

I saw that Yan Hong's palm seal was fixed, and there was a thick fluctuation in front of him, and it seemed that he was not ready to retain his strength.

Everyone in the audience shouted in amazement after watching it, they had never seen it on stage like this. The duel that I have seen is usually the other party on the stage testing each other's skills, which is rare today.

Lin Qing was the same here, and there was a strong fluctuation rolling in front of him. Looking at the movements of the two, they wanted to collide head-on.

After the two of them knotted, two strong fluctuations came out of each other. The electric light and flint saw that two powerful fluctuations collided together, shaking the smoke and dust billowing on the field.

Fortunately, there is a teacher's enchantment on the sidelines, otherwise this fluctuation will definitely affect a large number of disciples.

The two people in the field were also shocked to take two steps back, and then stood still and looked at each other.

Lin Qing looked at Yan Hong and said with a smile: "Don't show mercy to your subordinates. ”

Yan Hong replied: "Then I have to use all my strength!" ”

The disciples in the audience listened to the conversation between the two, and they didn't know the truth but heard a little provocative, and they also followed the coaxing.

When Lin Qing heard that Yan Hong was going to use all his strength, he was first overjoyed. He also wanted to see how his good friend had cultivated over the years.

So he quickly sealed the vitality in his body, this time his seal was obviously longer than just now, and with the dance of his fingers, a fluctuation of mental qi appeared in front of Lin Qing's body that was several times thicker than just now.

And Yan Hong, who was opposite Lin Qing, was also in the seal, but his seal seemed to be longer than Lin Qing.

Lin Qing looked at Yan Hong in front of him and was full of confidence in him. This was a strong fluctuation of thoughts, and it also flew to the opposite blush with Lin Qing's gaze.

The fluctuation of the mind qi quickly struck towards Yan Hong, and wherever it passed, the air around it was also distorted a little. Rubbing the fluctuating tail, you can see a little firelight.

For the first time on the Xia Lun, the disciples saw the fluctuation of the mind qi with the light of fire. The invisible mass with a flaming tail behind it.

The crowd in the audience was amazed and lost their voices, and the scene seemed to be forbidden.

At this time, the teachers on the sidelines were also staring at this fluctuation.

However, Yan Hong put down the hand of the seal, he just made a movement, he didn't urge the vitality in his body at all.

A smile appeared at the corner of Yan Hong's mouth, a smile of relief.

Yan Hong knew what Lin Qing wanted, and he knew the gap between himself and Lin Qing. Yan Hong was willing to be a stepping stone under his feet, and then watched this Lin Qing climb to the top.

When Lin Qing saw Yan Hong put down his hand, this wood finally seemed to understand something, but he didn't have time to stop.

The strong thought qi arrived in front of Yan Hong's body in an instant, only a few inches away from Yan Hong.

At this moment, a wall that seemed to be made of ice bricks quietly appeared in front of Yan Hong, blocking Yan Hong. The violent fluctuations hit the ice wall, leaving a latent mark.

The dean standing on the side made a move, and then with another wave of his right hand, the ice wall disappeared into thin air.

Everyone in the audience watched what happened in the field in an instant, and after a long time, they finally made a sound.

Then there was an uproar in the stadium.

Huayang Zhenren looked at the young man in front of him, this young man with a resolute face written on his face, and he was a little surprised. However, what surprised him even more was that he couldn't see this young man's Dao heart. Blue-green, red-purple, he didn't see a single color on the boy's body, not even white.

At this time, some disciples in the audience recognized him, and some people shouted that he was a disciple of Yuan Qingzi and lived in the back mountain.

Huayang Zhenren stood up straight and held his breath in the direction of the back mountain. He opened his eyes a moment later, a look of surprise.

Huayang Zhenren looked at Lin Qing and asked suspiciously, "Have you measured the Dao heart?" ”

Lin Qing was also puzzled: "No." ”

Huayang Zhenren suddenly realized: "I see. So why not? ”

Lin Qing looked serious, looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Listening to Grandpa chatting with people, I shouldn't have the money to buy that bamboo slip." ”

Huayang Zhenren couldn't cry or laugh because he didn't have the money to take the test.

Huayang Zhenren patted the young man on the shoulder and motioned for him to rest.

Lin Qing got off the field and walked towards Yan Hong.

In the next two duels, Huayang Zhenren has been watching the young man in front of him seriously.

He found that although this young man had a strong vitality, he did not use any exercises to make a Xuan Duel, and both duels relied on a strong cultivation foundation to achieve victory in the duel.

In other words, this young man who has no family background and does not know his talent has reached this state completely by relying on his own penance. There is indeed only one old man in the mountain who has not cultivated, and Huayang Zhenren also visited him just now.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Huayang Zhenren kept nodding, as if he had seen some kind of magic weapon. He looked at the young man's skillful palm prints, as if he had seen the young man's penance for many days and months.

Even if I don't know if I was born with a Dao heart, so what, Huayang Zhenren thought in his heart.

The thought in his heart made the old man laugh out loud, and after laughing, he said to himself: "The road can be expected!" ”
