Chapter 12: Home
"What? There was a vision of heaven and earth in Zhou's mansion!Are you sure?" Mu Long asked sharply, standing up from behind his desk.
"When?" In comparison, the middle-aged man who also sat next to him and looked similar to Mu Long's appearance, but he was older, seemed much calmer, but if he saw his hand hidden behind the desk holding the chair tightly, he knew that at this time, his heart was also flooded with monstrous waves.
"Report and report to the two lords, it was yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, last night, no, it was last night. I was sleeping in the house at the time, but I was awakened by the fluctuation of the majestic combat power, and as soon as I pushed the window, I saw the vision of heaven and earth in the sky above the direction of Zhoufu. The man in the room who came to report was sweating profusely and stammered.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, speak slowly. I sent you to Zhou Town to lurk in order to investigate the movements of the Zhou Mansion. You have made a meritorious contribution this time, speak slowly, don't worry. The middle-aged man who was sitting leaned forward and said in a deep voice. It turned out that he was Mu Ke, the lord of Mu Mansion, and he was also Mu Long's brother on the other side.
"Yes, yes, thank you. Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand, he continued: "This is probably the case. When I opened the window, I was stunned by what I saw. I saw that the sky was full of colorful light, carrying two colors, one red and one silver, hovering in the sky, and the fluctuations emitted were very scary. From the two rays of brilliance, I felt a thick fire element and a thunder element. ”
"Natal element awakening, fire and thunder dual elements, pure attributes!" Hearing this, Mu Ke couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly. Mu Long and Mu Ke glanced at each other, unable to hide the horror in their eyes, and said in unison.
"What about after that?" said Mu Ke, trying to calm his heart.
To Xiao's confusion, a few minutes later, two more rays of light rose. This time it's two colors, one gold and one black. But this time the fluctuations were even more terrifying, I wanted to perceive the fluctuations of the two colors, but under the impact of my mind, I actually spit out a mouthful of blood, so scared that I didn't dare to perceive it again. But I am sure that the breath of the latter is much larger than that of the former. ”
Mu Ke and the others looked at each other, but at the same time, their eyes were full of shock. Although the strength of this person in front of him is average, he also has the strength to build the seventh layer of the foundation. In this way, they will be shocked by the breath that erupts in the distance and vomit blood, how strong is the fluctuation of this flashpoint?
"Stand down. Mu Ke waved his hand.
"Yes. The comer, as if he had been pardoned, hurriedly ran out with a smoke.
Sitting down again, Mu Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "The reason for this vision should be caused by the awakening of the natal element of Zhou Shang in the Zhou Mansion. But—" Mu Ke paused, "this twin elements of fire and thunder can be explained, but what is the more terrifying aura after that?"
Mu Long on the side also gradually calmed down at this moment, sat on the chair with his butt in his ass, and his eyes were a little dull: "There is only one possibility, there are still people in the Zhou Mansion who are awakening the natal element, and the elemental quality of that person is even higher than the previous one!"
At this moment, among the four major families in the entire Qingyang Mountain Range, except for the Zhou Mansion, they are all talking about this unbelievable thing, some people are confused, some people are afraid, and some people are worried.
However, as one of the protagonists of this matter, Xue Yi did not know at all.
Walking on the road that exuded the fragrance of the earth, clothed in the glow of the rising glow, Xue Yi felt that his heart was not as heavy as before.
When he had just learned last night that he would not be able to continue on the path of cultivation in the future, his heart was indeed like ashes. I thought that from now on, I would live like an ordinary person and live a mediocre life. Not even an ordinary person, because he is just a subordinate of the Zhou Mansion.
At that time, he even had the idea of suicide. He really wanted to grit his teeth and induce the two elements that kept clashing in his Jindan, and simply let himself explode to death, instead of continuing to live in this desperate world.
After all, despair is not terrible, the key is to give you infinite hope and then drag you down the abyss of despair.
But after Zhou Shang was angry with him and said the sentence "No matter what happens to you in the future, I will treat you as a brother", Xue Yi suddenly came to his senses. Why is he so disheartened that he feels that he has nothing to love? Your life is your own, and if you lose it, you can't get it back. What's more, in this world, I still have my grandfather, Zhou Shang, Xiaobi, and these people who care about themselves. If they sink like this, it is the greatest harm to them and the greatest irresponsibility to themselves.
Thinking of this, Xue Yi stretched out his palm and slapped himself vigorously. The loud voice spread through the woods on both sides of the road, but Xue Yi felt as if he had let go of something in his heart, and a sense of relief arose.
No more thoughts!
Xue Yi secretly admonished himself.
Xiaobi is lying comfortably on Xue Yi's shoulder at the moment basking in the early morning sun, a few branches are swaying, a few birds are chirping, and the fresh air shows the tranquility and beauty of the morning. A young man dressed in white walked on the path with solid steps. Everything was beautiful like a painting, as if nothing had happened last night.
That's it!
Xue Yi clenched his fists and a smile appeared on his face. Yes, you have to forget the past and start over!
The road widened, and smoke seemed to rise from the mountains in the distance. Xue Yi saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift a smile.
yes, it's home!
Before Xue Yi and his grandfather went to work in Zhou's mansion, they lived in this place with beautiful mountains and rivers like a paradise. It is probably more than 100 miles away from Zhou's mansion. When he lived with his grandfather, although life was a little harder, this moving scenery was Xue Yi's best playmate when he was young. Now when I think back to the original scene, I can't help but feel a warm current in my heart.
I haven't seen my grandfather for almost half a year, grandpa, are you okay?
The pace quickened, and in about a quarter of an hour, the outline of the countryside not far away came into view. The familiar dirt road, the endless farmland on both sides of the road, and the peasants sitting on ox carts and wearing hats on the road are all announcing a fact that makes Xue Yi excited - he is home!
Quietly waking up Xiao Bi, who was pretending to be asleep on her shoulder, Xiao Bi glanced at Xue Yi reluctantly, and obediently got into Xue Yi's sleeve.
Following the familiar road, Xue Yi soon found the old mansion in his memory. Before he could enter the courtyard, the sound of sawing wood came from inside.
Xue Yi walked in quickly, and saw a gray-haired old man stepping on the wooden pier in front of him with one leg, holding a handsaw in both hands, sawing the wood neatly. That's right, Grandpa is the only carpenter in the village, and all the carpenters in the village have to come to him.
As if hearing the voice behind him, the old man did not stop his work, nor did he raise his head, but said loudly: "You're here to beat furniture, right? There is tea on the table in the room, although it is not a good tea, it will be served. I'll talk about that when I'm done. ”
Listening to his grandfather's still clear voice, Xue Yi smiled even more on his face, and called softly: "Grandpa, I'm back!"
The old man turned his head suddenly, and his eyes immediately focused on the young man in white at the door, who seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "Yizi, is it you?"
"It's me, I'm back to see you. Xue Yi said with a smile.
"Haha, it turned out to be my Yizi who came back. Come on, let grandpa see, oh, he's grown a lot taller. How have you been in the Zhou Mansion during this time? Are they having a hard time for you? Is the little boy you said still so good to you? Eh, by the way, this is not a New Year's holiday, why did you come back?" The old man hurriedly put down the saw in his hand, rushed over and hugged Xue Yi, and then touched his hair dotingly, and said.
Listening to his grandfather's series of questions, Xue Yi couldn't help but feel happiness in his heart: "I miss you." Rest assured, I'm doing well in Zhoufu. They treat me very well. Zhou Shang still regarded me as his brother. Also, he just broke through in the past two days, and now he has become a warrior!"
"Hehe, that's good. As long as you're happy, I'm a grandfather at an age, and I can live no matter what. As long as you're doing well, I'll be satisfied. Come, let's go to the house and rest. I've walked all the way, and I'm tired. It's almost noon, you drink saliva to moisten your throat first, I'll go get food, and when you come back, you can tell grandpa about the things in Nafu, so that my old bones can also have a long insight. The old man grabbed Xue Yi's clothes and walked into the house and said.
"Grandpa, I've brought you lunch! I just brought you a roast chicken and freshly steamed white flour steamed buns at the morning market on the road. You eat pickles every day, and you can eat some good ones today to replenish your body. Xue Yi took out a roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves from his arms, as well as a pack of hot steamed buns, handed them to the old man, and said.
"I've really grown up, and I'll care about my grandfather. Well, this Ma family's roast chicken is still so fragrant. The old man turned out to roast chicken and steamed buns, smelled the fragrance of roast chicken, and smiled like a flower with wrinkles on his face.
"When I came, Zhou Shang gave me fifty gold coins, which is a lot of money, so I bought some good things on the way. You can keep these fifty gold coins later, don't live so tightly. Xue Yi took out the money bag, put it on the table, and said.
"No, I don't. What am I going to do? At my age, I don't have a lot of room to spend. You take it, you are young, and you have a lot of places to spend money, how can you stay? Fifty gold coins, and grandpa has to work for more than a year to earn this amount, how can you leave it to me? Quickly put it away and be obedient. Hearing this, the old man immediately smiled, and quickly stuffed the money bag back into Xue Yi's body.
It seemed that he had expected this result for a long time, Xue Yi did not resist, but a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"By the way, grandpa, when I come back this time, I actually have a very important thing to tell you. ”
Watching the old man take down the chopping board and kitchen knife hanging in a corner of the room and put them on the table, and put the roast chicken on top and began to chop it with a knife, Xue Yi suddenly spoke.
"What's the matter?" the old man asked, without stopping his movements.
"That...... I shouldn't be able to cultivate anymore in the future. ”
"Bang-" The kitchen knife fell on the board, the old man turned around and looked at Xue Yi with a frown: "What did you say?"
Summoning up his courage, Xue Yi felt that it was better to let his grandfather know: "Grandpa, I won't be able to cultivate in the future." ”
"Why, the people of the Zhou family won't give you cultivation?" the old man's voice seemed to contain a hint of anger.
"No, it has nothing to do with them. Xue Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "It's my own reason." My physique is very special, and the people of the Zhou family helped me detect it. No one with this kind of physique can cultivate. ”
"Really?" the old man seemed to be a little incredulous.
"It's true. I felt it myself. If you practice again, it will be bad for your health. For fear that his grandfather would be worried, Xue Yi did not say that his life was in danger.
After being silent for a long time, just when Xue Yi couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade his grandfather, the old man straightened up, let out a long sigh, and said, "That's it." Alas, it's good to be an ordinary person. Perhaps, this is God's arrangement. ”
Xue Yi looked at his grandfather in surprise, at this moment, the old man seemed to be ten years old. "Grandpa, are you okay? I've already seen it, since I can't cultivate, then forget it, maybe this path is really not suitable for me. Just sorry I let you down. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Being an ordinary person may also be a good thing for you. The old man raised his head, glanced at Xue Yi, who was in a somewhat depressed mood, and seemed to be a little eager to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, and then lowered his head and continued to deal with the roast chicken under his hand.
Hearing this, Xue Yi couldn't help but be a little puzzled. But the doubts only existed for a moment, and in the end, they were buried in the bottom of my heart with my trust in my grandfather.
