Cheng Zirong was stunned, her lips turned white, and she said in a trembling voice: "Why do you think so?"

"You never let me go to see him, and he has never looked for me......" Speaking of this, Cheng Mo's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked, "Aunt Zirong, no matter what the result is, you can tell me......"

Looking at Cheng Mo's childish face, Cheng Zirong sighed softly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is just a child after all, and he also has times when he is vulnerable, and he will also be cranky.

Cheng Zirong gently wiped away the tears on Cheng Mo's face, and said softly: "Actually, we don't know where he is. Nine years ago, he went out to do penance, and he didn't say where he was going or when he would return. ”

Cheng Mo's heart trembled slightly, he was very afraid to hear such an answer, but what Cheng Zirong gave him was such an answer.

Cheng Qingci nodded and said: "In our Cheng family, the ninth brother has the highest talent and the strongest ability, and grandpa has always attached great importance to it. The ninth brother knew that he was responsible for the family, so he went out to do penance. ”

On the Celestial Continent, penance is very common. Some cultivators will leave without saying goodbye and hide in the immortal mountain, and no one knows where he is doing penance and how long he will have to do penance. Some practitioners even abandon their wives and children, cut off mundane things, and cultivate wholeheartedly. Cheng Zirong and Cheng Qingci's explanations also make sense.

Cheng Mo was stunned, "What happened later?"

Cheng Zirong replied: "Later, the ninth brother never came back. ”

Cheng Zirong and Cheng Qingci's eyes are sincere, their eyes are loving, and they don't seem to be deceiving.

Their explanations are reasonable, and there is no need for them to deceive themselves.

Cheng Mo asked, "Have you looked for him?"

"I looked for it, but I couldn't find it. Cheng Zirong sighed lightly.

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Cheng Zirong said: "At that time, I wasn't sure if you were the son of the ninth brother, so I didn't plan to tell you this in order to have fewer branches." Cheng Zirong paused, and then said: "Okay now, since you are the child of the ninth brother, your aunts and uncles will definitely treat you as your own...... From now on, you can stay here well, we will teach you to practice, and when you grow up, we will accompany you to save your mother. ”

"Got it. Cheng Mo wiped a handful of tears and swallowed the fragility and sadness into his stomach.

......

After saying goodbye to his uncle and aunt, Cheng Mo staggered back to the planting area in the West District.

He sat on the stone ridge in front of the wooden house, looking at the plantation full of spiritual radish, and his mind was a little confused. The mountains in front of you are shrouded in mist, and the sky overhead is endless and vast. A dazed sense of strangeness arises spontaneously.

Although he found the Cheng family and his grandfather, he still felt alone. He didn't know where his father was, and he didn't know how to save his mother.

Even though Grandpa Cheng Lu treats himself very well, Aunt Cheng Zirong is very kind, and Uncle Cheng Qingci and Uncle Cheng Zikun are also very friendly, but ...... Thinking of the countless deep sword marks on Jia Sanchang's chest, thinking of the flying birds that fell into the killing array, and thinking of Cheng Dongfei's gloomy face, Cheng Mo felt a little tired in his heart.

"It turns out that my aunt didn't lie to me, and my father really can't find it......"

Cheng Mo became preoccupied: "My father is gone, and I don't know what happened to my mother...... As long as she can come back, I can live for twenty years. After a pause, he thought again: "Twenty years is too little...... Cheng Mo's naïve little head was calculating "how many years of life is the most cost-effective in exchange for Ye Lanzhi", calculating, a strong loneliness and sadness struck.

It's a pity that fate is not a transaction, not how much he is willing to pay, in exchange for how much.

He missed his mother, his nose was sore, his eyes were red, his throat choked for a while, and he couldn't help crying.

Suddenly, I heard someone in front of me coughing a few times. Cheng Mo was stunned and raised his head, but saw that the old man Cheng Lu, the fifth uncle Cheng Dongfei, and a man with a cold face were standing in front of him. Cheng Mo's face turned red, and he hurriedly turned his head, not wanting them to see his tears.

Cheng Lu was very distressed, sat next to Cheng Mo, and said in a good voice: "Do you miss your mother?"

Cheng Mo didn't speak, lowered his head and rolled the corners of his clothes.

Cheng Lu said: "In the future, this will be your home, and you can tell grandpa if you have anything." Grandpa will definitely get your mother back. ”

Cheng Mo didn't say anything.

"How old are you?" asked Cheng Lu.

Cheng Mo stretched out his two index fingers and gestured for an "eleven".

Seeing that Cheng Mo refused to speak, Cheng Lu was angry and funny, but he was helpless.

One old and one young sat quietly on the big rock, and without saying a word, they sat quietly for five minutes.

The trick of not speaking is often effective, and in the silent meditation, Cheng Mo's mood gradually calmed down, and he began to think about questions such as "Why didn't this old man speak, is he angry?" Once this person was curious, his temper dissipated, and instead Cheng Mo was curious and waiting for Cheng Lu's question.

Finally, after another five minutes, Cheng Lu said lightly: "Have you practiced before?"

"This old man has finally spoken!" Cheng Mo let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

Cheng Lu can also be regarded as an "old treacherous and cunning", he deliberately stopped mentioning the matter of family affection, and single-mindedly led Cheng Mo to the topic of cultivation, this trick really worked, only to see Cheng Mo nodded.

"Well, you are now at the first order of the Spirit Seed Stage, and you have entered the ranks of cultivators before the age of twelve, which is also a normal speed. Cheng Lu smiled.

Then, he took out three books from his arms and handed them to Cheng Mo: "This is the practice practiced by the Cheng family, you take it for yourself first." Five months, is that enough?"

Cheng Mo glanced at it, the three books were: Basic Heart Method, Cheng Family Heart Method, and Pranayama Technique.

Ye Lanzhi taught himself the basic mental method, and although he didn't learn it very hard, he almost mastered it. Pranayama is an important exercise for treating internal and external injuries and improving practice, and Cheng Mo also understands it. Only the Cheng family's mental method is unfamiliar. In five months, it is not difficult to master an unfamiliar exercise.

Cheng Mo nodded numbly.

"Good. During this time, you can familiarize yourself with the environment here while carrying out basic cultivation," Cheng Lu patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder and said, "Mo'er, your father is the most talented of the nine brothers, and you have to work hard to cultivate." ”

Cheng Mo nodded.

Cheng Lu looked at Cheng Mo with a smile, in fact, he didn't have any urgent thoughts about Jackie Chan in his heart, after all, Cheng Mo was already a great gift to find Cheng Zixiao's child. The reason why he said this was just to inspire Cheng Mo's fighting spirit.

Subsequently, Cheng Lu explained some of Cheng Mo's meals, daily life, and cultivation, and then left with Cheng Dongfei and the man with a cold face.

And just like that, a few more days passed.

It has been a while since Cheng Mo came to Cheng's house.

During these days, except for his grandfather Cheng Lu, who often came, the other elders did not come to trouble Cheng Mo, and Cheng Mo was also happy to be quiet. Grandpa Cheng Lu would send some elixir every few days, which could not only nourish the body, but also treat internal injuries. Under Cheng Lu's meticulous care, Cheng Mo's injuries have long been completely healed.

The strangeness and rejection in my heart gradually faded with the passage of time. He was no longer as depressed as he had been in the first few days.

From time to time, Cheng Lu would check Cheng Mo's understanding of the cultivation exercises, as well as the speed of his cultivation. Cheng Mo has excellent talent, and he has been practicing very diligently in recent days, which makes Cheng Mo feel surprised and surprised.

I don't know if it's because of jealousy or some other reason, Cheng Dongfei rarely shows up. Only one day at noon, when Cheng Mo was sitting at the table in a daze, he vaguely saw Cheng Dongfei from the mirror behind him. Cheng Dongfei is like a sensitive hunter, staring at him like a cunning prey, with sharp eyes and meticulous observation. Cheng Mo was disgusted, stood up unceremoniously, and locked all the doors and windows with a "snap", and Cheng Dongfei outside the door had no choice but to leave.

On this day, it was another boring evening, and Jia Sanchang didn't know where to work and hadn't come back.

Cheng Mo was home alone, staring at the three exercises on the table, his eyelids drooped for a long time, and then he yawned deeply.

"Basic Heart Method, Cheng Family Heart Method, Pranayama ......" Cheng Mo looked at the page of the book in a daze. He spread the three books flat on the table, his fingers twisting the pages boringly, making a rattling sound, "These efforts are not successful." If you continue to practice like this, I don't know how long it will take to rescue my mother. ”

Cheng Mo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said in his heart: "Xiao Cha, are you there?"

In the past few days, Cheng Mo began to call Insight all things "Xiaocha", and Insight into everything also began to call Cheng Mo the master. One person, one artifact is becoming more and more familiar.

Insight into all things: "Yes, master." ”

Cheng Mo asked, "If it goes on like this, how long do you think I will be able to leave here?"

Although he has integrated into the life of the Cheng family, Cheng Mo's eagerness to leave this place has not diminished at all.

Insight carefully assessed everything for a moment, and said, "Now." ”

Cheng Mo was stunned, and only listened to the explanation of Insight into Everything: "There is no killing array around here, as long as you avoid the sight of the Cheng family, you can leave here now." ”

This is obviously not the answer Cheng Mo wants. Cheng Mo couldn't laugh or cry, and changed his words, "I mean, how long will it take for me to defeat Xi Mu?" After all, Insight into Everything couldn't understand the meaning of "leaving here", and he couldn't turn around and talk to it.

Insight into all things replied, "Judging from the current state of cultivation, with your talent, it only takes thirty years to defeat Xi Mu. ”

"Thirty years ......" Cheng Mo smiled bitterly and was immediately deflated.

Insight into all things: "Master, do you think this cultivation speed is slow?"

"Slow, too slow!" Cheng Mo sighed and said to himself: "I thought I was a genius, but I was so stupid ......"

Insight into the Dao of All Things: "Master, the assumption I just made was based on the current state of cultivation. If you have been cultivating the Basic Heart Method, the Cheng Family Heart Method, and the Pranayama Technique, you can surpass Xi Mu in thirty years, and you will already be a peerless genius!"

"Nonsense! Can I keep cultivating this bullshit basic mental method? Naturally, I want to learn the high-level exercises as soon as possible and break through quickly!" Cheng Mo was so angry that he almost broke out.
