Chapter 16: The Snake Demon Golden Feather
Rong Xiyan's heart is in turmoil, she likes Feng Zen very much, and she is also very persistent in the pursuit of ideals. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But Feng Chan didn't like her ideals, at this time Rong Xiyan was confused, should she give up Feng Chan or give up her ideals.
"Little sister, what are you hesitating about, it's too late to give up now. Rong Xiyang persuaded, and gave Feng Chan a look as he spoke.
"If it's hard to choose, it's okay to think about it slowly in the future, and you don't have to rush it. Feng Chan didn't want to embarrass Rong Xiyan, other people's ideals had nothing to do with him, so he didn't cooperate with Rong Xiyang.
"Yes, then I'll decide later. Rong Xiyan reacted quickly and smiled again.
Rong Xiyang originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and let the little sister give up this idea, but she didn't expect it to fail. He couldn't help sighing, hoping that when the little sister matured, she would change to a practical ideal. Rong Xiyan's current wish is not practical or suitable for her, and even makes people laugh.
"It's getting late, I should go back. Feng Chan didn't pay much attention to it.
"So soon, if you don't stay for a meal, I'm just going to introduce you to my father. Rong Xiyang opened his mouth first to stay, and Xiyan showed reluctance on the side.
"Delay a little longer, and it will be dark when I get back. Feng Chan politely declined.
After leaving Rongfu, Feng Chan returned to the town, and when he passed by the blacksmith shop, he was stopped by the blacksmith uncle. To his delight, Uncle Blacksmith had helped him build an iron mirror, five feet long and three feet wide, in advance.
The iron mirror is not as clear as the bronze mirror, and it is a little blurry when you look at the face, but the body contrast is fine. Feng Chan went home with a hundred-pound iron mirror in one hand and leaned it against the wall in the courtyard.
The parents were washing and cooking, and Feng Zen loosened his muscles and bones, and practiced bone forging skills in front of the iron mirror. After having the iron mirror comparison, Feng Chan no longer has to worry about making mistakes in his moves, and he can correct it by himself at any time.
Today, he is still practicing the first five ways of forging bones, mainly exercising the limbs and lumbar spine: movement is like drawing silk, both hands are like tearing cotton, hands and feet are strong, buckle teeth and bones are firm, the shape is shaken, the head is stirred tail, the movement is like a flying dragon ascending to the sky, the cut is like a tiger out of the forest, and the vertical jump is like an ape......
After practicing one set, Feng Chan obviously felt that the muscles and bones of his limbs and waist were much stronger, which surprised him. According to his previous cultivation qualifications, it was impossible for him to make this kind of progress, probably because the snake demon had changed his physique, or the subtlety of the Seventy-two Path Bone Forging Technique.
"According to this progress, maybe before the autumn season, I can practice the power of Jiuding!" In addition to the competition, Wenju also has three martial arts topics: riding and archery, fists and feet, and swords, but the requirements are not as high as martial arts.
He was going to give up the three questions at first, because Feng Chan had only practiced for a period at that time, and at most he would get some points in swordsmanship. If Feng Chan practices the power of Jiuding, then he will definitely be able to get full marks in the three questions, and he will have one more point of certainty.
Thinking of this, Feng Zen's spirit was greatly boosted, and he practiced for another hour before stopping. After practicing martial arts, Feng Chan rested for a while before washing and changing clothes, and then accompanied his parents to dinner.
As the autumn season was approaching, Feng Chan's father Feng Donglin and mother Yue specially made some good dishes for him to replenish his body. Feng Donglin was a carpenter, and Yue's was weaving and sewing clothes, and their family had no land.
As for why there is no land, I have to talk about the older generation, that is, Feng Quanzhou, the grandfather of Feng Chan. Feng Quanzhou also had some assets back then, but was later squandered by Feng Chan's uncle and sold most of the land. And the land that was sold happened to be Feng Donglin's, so the uncle and his father had a quarrel.
Later, the uncle spoke with his name, Feng Donglin couldn't quarrel with him, and he couldn't get angry, so he simply split up. Now Feng Chan's family of three is poor, but they are also happy, especially after Feng Chan was admitted to Bailu Academy, his parents are obviously much more energetic.
Now no one in Hanmei Town doesn't know that Feng Chan is a student of Bailu Academy, and he is still a showman, and they all respect him for three points. Of course, there are also some people who are jealous and envious, and secretly don't know what to think.
If the word Xiucai was placed hundreds of years ago, the common people would call the lord when they saw it, and they would also take the court month and divide the land. But now the show doesn't have those benefits, it's just that it has a better reputation.
The main reason is that with the opening of the private academy, there are more and more readers, the level is getting higher and higher, and there are more people who are admitted to the show. Bailu Academy alone has more than 100 talents, where did they get the land to distribute to them.
"Zen'er, you must pay attention to your body during this time, don't have any accidents. When Yue's served him vegetables, he didn't forget to tell him.
"I'm in much better health than ordinary people, I come and go in the wind and rain, and I'll be fine if I soak in the pool for two days. But you two should pay attention to your body, don't wait for me to be admitted to the lifting of people in the coming day, but you are sick and cannot enjoy the blessings. Feng Chan said with a smile.
"No, I live with your mother to this day, just to wait for you to be filial to us. Feng Donglin said.
Although the life is poor, but when they think that Feng Chan can become an official in the future, Feng Donglin and the Yue family do not feel tired at all. Every day when the family gets together for dinner, it is when they are happiest and happiest.
Yue's also smiled, and then said with a sad face: "It's that your third uncle doesn't stop, and after being beaten, his aunt always comes to our house to make trouble." Your father has no choice but to help your third uncle go to work in the fields, otherwise their family will starve to death. ”
Feng Dongping glared at her and said, "What nonsense is said in front of the child, the Zen exam is enough to bother, these trivial things, do you need to bother him." I will help that month, and when the third child's injury is healed, let's stay away from his house. ”
Yue Shi reacted, and hurriedly said to Feng Chan: "Zen'er, don't take this matter to heart, I'll just take it with your father." You, just ******** study, and once you pass the township exam, you won't have any troubles. ”
Feng Chan smiled helplessly, the wicked are not terrible, the terrible wicked are shameless, and when they meet people like the third uncle and aunt, they can only consider themselves unlucky. However, what Yue said makes sense, his current task is to take the exam, and he has been working hard for more than ten years, and there is no shortage of these two months.
However, Feng Chan still persuaded: "It's okay to help their family plow the fields, but don't be tired, you will be lazy when you are free." Feng Liang is two years older than me, let him do more things, he won't be tired. ”
Feng Liang is Feng Dongping's eldest son, nineteen years old this year, and he used to study with Feng Chan. However, Feng Liang is a person who can't sit still, and when he was a child, he liked to make a fool of himself, and he went to the river and trees every day. Later, Feng Chan was admitted to Tongsheng and entered Bailu Academy, while Feng Liang failed to go home to cultivate the fields.
"You don't know, Feng Liang is reluctant to do things now, and he is clamoring to take the test all day long. Maybe it's because I look at your scenery, and I want to ......" Yue's family doesn't like to talk much outside, but he often complains at home, and he interrupted Feng Donglin before he finished speaking.
"The old ladies are endless, you have to annoy the child to be happy, right, what are you doing!" Feng Donglin raised his chopsticks, pretending to beat Yue's family.
"Hey, it's me who has a lot of mouths, don't take it to heart......" Yue began to remedy again.
Feng Chan was somewhat dissatisfied with the third uncle, but he really didn't care much about these parents. He has refined his body seven tripods, and he can pinch Feng Dongping to death with one finger, how can he have the heart to care about him so much.
Yue's complained, but Feng Chan just echoed and smiled, and forgot about it when he turned around. Feng Chan's idea is very simple, when I am admitted to the Juren and become a master, none of you want to take advantage.
How to repay virtue with virtue?
"Hiss..."
As soon as he returned to the room, Feng Chan saw the snake demon bathing in the moonlight on the windowsill, and his body twisted around as if dancing.
This time he was very calm, closed the door and walked to the windowsill, and stretched out a hand to stroke the head of the basilisk. The snake demon recognized Feng Chan, and not only did not resist, but also rubbed his hand obediently.
"Since you're a demon, why can't you speak?" Feng Chan said as he looked into its eyes.
The snake demon's dark eyes showed a hint of doubt, and he tilted his head to think like a human. At this time, Feng Zen realized that perhaps it had been practicing for too short a time, and it had never been in contact with the Terrans, so it did not understand the Terran language.
Even when a person is born, he can't speak, but he has to learn word by word, let alone a snake. The monsters in myths and stories can speak, and I think that they are extremely cultivated and can turn into human form.
After playing with the snake demon for a while, the relationship between the two became more and more harmonious, faster than the interaction between people. Because the snake demon has a low intelligence, he doesn't put so much effort into it, and Feng Chan also feels very relaxed and happy.
Feng Chan didn't know that a large part of the reason why the snake demon was intimate with him was that his physique had changed. Because after being bitten by the snake demon, Feng Chan's blood has the breath of the snake demon, so it is easier to gain trust.
"Do you want me to teach you to speak, with your spiritual intelligence, you should be able to learn a thousand words. "After Feng Chan frolicked with the snake demon for a while, he probably understood its wisdom, which was equivalent to a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
The snake demon showed thought again, and then nodded happily, wrapping around Feng Chan and refusing to come down. Feng Zen is also a joy, it seems that the snake demon can understand some human languages, so it is much more convenient to communicate.
Reading this, Feng Chan took out the thousand-character text he learned when he was a child, and taught the snake demon to recognize words word by word. The snake demon also has a curiosity and a desire to learn, and it learns very seriously, but unfortunately its tongue and vocal cords are different, and it can only say one or two simple words.
For example, if the snake demon wants to speak the human language, he must change his vocal cords and tongue. Or learn ventriloquism, according to ancient records, it seems that many yokai use ventriloquis.
"Yes, just teach it ventriloquism, so that you can speak even if your vocal cords and tongue are not good. Feng Chan's eyes suddenly lit up, so he began to teach the snake demon to control the abdomen, viscera and breath to make sounds.
"Woo, whoa, oh, uh......"
Feng Chan first taught it some simple vocalizations, and the snake demon quickly learned that it had more control over its abdomen than Feng Zen. After all, Feng Chan has not practiced to the viscera, and if he cultivates to the realm of mixed yuan, the ventriloquist is almost the same as the mouth. And the snake demon seemed to be in the mixed yuan realm, its abdomen was slightly agitated, and it emitted a very standard human language.
Feng Chan was pleasantly surprised when he saw this, gradually increased the difficulty, and began to teach it a thousand-character text again: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, Universe Flood, Sun and Moon Flourishing, Chensu Liezhang, Cold and Summer, Autumn Harvest and Winter Hide, Leap Age, Rhythm Lu Tunes Yang......
Two hours later, it was already the fourth watch, but Feng Zen was never tired of it, and the snake demon was also full of interest. The snake demon's memory is much stronger than that of ordinary children, and he actually memorized a thousand words in just two hours.
"In the lower seal Zen, the seal of the seal, the Zen of the sitting meditation. Feng Chan introduced himself to the snake demon.
"Seal, Zen. The snake demon spitted out the letter and made a sound through his abdomen, which sounded a bit like a boy's voice. Feng Chan didn't know how to distinguish the male of the snake, and after hearing its voice, he subconsciously regarded him as a male snake.
"I'll give you a name, it's..."
Feng Zen remembered the first time he encountered the snake demon, the scene when it easily twisted the finely forged sword into a twisted flower, and the dance when it bathed in the moonlight. Finally, Feng Chan smiled and said: "Just call you Jin Ling, your scales are as tough as real gold, Ling is the feather of a bird, and it has the meaning of feathering and soaring." I hope that one day you will molt and turn into a dragon, travel the Nine Heavens, and never have to climb on the ground again. ”
The snake demon's eyes lit up, and he seemed to fall into an endless yearning: "Jin Ling, turn into a dragon!"
