Chapter 8 "Zhu Xin"

The three days passed silently in the process of Pan Jue's almost selfless cultivation. Now his whole temperament and spirit are refreshed.

"Go, Red Moon Dagger!"

With a command, the Red Moon Dagger plunged into the sky from in front of Pan Jue, circled above the Hidden Flower Valley, and then swooped down like an eagle falcon...... The rapid air flow caused the surrounding flowers and branches to sway, and the fragrance emitted made the "dysfunctional" sense of smell play a role again.

After making a circular movement along the periphery of the Tibetan Flower Valley, Pan Jue planned to control the Red Moon Dagger to return, but at this moment, the dagger suddenly went out of control.

The out-of-control Red Moon Dagger sliced through the air and shot towards Pan Jue's forehead at a faster speed, and if it hit, he would definitely be pierced. At this critical juncture, Pan Jue, who was sitting cross-legged, felt the crisis for the first time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he bounced up and crossed his arms to protect his head.

"Bell-" The Xuantie bracer shattered instantly, Pan Jue's arm was numb and was shocked back to the edge of the Hidden Flower Valley, he calmed down the churning qi and blood, and concentrated his mental power to pull it towards the Red Moon Dagger, as expected, the Red Moon Dagger did not have any reaction. Looking at the quietly suspended dagger, Pan Jue already knew in his heart that there must be another person more powerful than him who replaced the spiritual power he attached to the Red Moon Dagger, but he didn't know who.

Pan Jue shook his arm and leaned up towards the handle of the Red Moon Dagger, but under the man's control, the Red Moon Dagger skillfully dodged like a spiritual snake and stabbed at all the vital points around Pan Jue's body. He had no choice but to raise his palm to greet him, using the Qinglian palm to constantly attack or defend, which couldn't help but remind him of the Wang Jian a few days ago. Although the current Pan Jue is no longer what it used to be, he still has a feeling that he can't use this kind of beating law and is extremely aggrieved.

Pan Jue secretly said in his heart, "No, if it goes on like this, sooner or later, I will try my best to think of a way quickly," he looked around while dealing with the Red Moon Dagger. At that moment, a stone about three feet square jumped into his eyes. Pan Jue suddenly thought about it, he repelled the dagger with one palm, his body retreated violently, and his spiritual power quickly attached to the stone and dragged it towards the Red Moon Dagger.

At the same time, Pan Jue's right palm glowed with a ball of blue light, and the last move that had once fought against Wang Jian reappeared. Unlike last time, because of the help of spiritual power, this time the condensation and compression were more thorough, and the light blue slowly changed to dark blue, and the light became more and more restrained......

Bang bang bang - the stone and the red moon dagger under Pan Jue's control collided one after another, and finally exploded into powder under the sharp cut; At this time, Pan Jue gathered momentum, and slapped his right palm towards the dagger body of the Red Moon Dagger.

Boom –

A tumbling wave of air pressed the surrounding flowers and plants to almost a hundred and eighty degrees, and at this time, the Red Moon Dagger also turned around and plunged into the mountain wall.

At that moment, Pan did not stop, and while the red moon dagger was still "struggling" in the mountain, he rushed towards it quickly, grabbed the handle of the dagger, and pulled it out. After doing all this, Pan Jue adjusted slightly and looked towards the entrance of the Flower Valley with a vigilant face.

A burst of applause came into Pan Jue's ears, and then an old man and a young man appeared in Pan Jue's eyes, and the vigilant look on his face also dissipated and was replaced by excitement on his face, Pan Jue shouted happily, "Grandpa Han, Uncle Han!" You're coming, I thought it was who?"

Han Bing nodded at Pan Jue, and said to Han Wuyu on the side, "Hehe, father, what do you think, the apprentice I taught is good, just the kung fu of taking only one leaf from the ten thousand flowers just now is enough to prove that his strength has reached the realm of controlling matter, and Xiaocheng is even close to Dacheng."

Han Wuyu said coldly, "Hmph, you are a hairy man, there is something wrong with you." Didn't you also teach Xiaosha by hand, as a result? To put it bluntly, it is still related to their own efforts. Xiaosha, this child's talent is still above yours, but she loves to play too much, and she always refuses to calm down and cultivate, hey, it's really a headache for my old man."

After saying that, Han Wuxian beckoned to Pan Jue. When he ran to his side, he slowly spoke, "Xiao Jue, Bing'er said before that when you can make the Red Moon Dagger appear anywhere in the Flower Valley and not hurt a single flower or plant before you can get out of the valley, but what you just performed was to cut a leaf from each flower stem, which is undoubtedly more difficult; In addition, I also personally gave you an additional exam, and it is good that you did not disappoint me, and you proved with your actions that your time has not been wasted these days. With your current strength in the control realm of Xiaocheng and the completion of the military realm, you have already fought and even won against the king of Jianzu. Everything is difficult at the beginning, you have already passed this hurdle, and if you encounter any problems in the cultivation of contemplation in the future, you can come to us at any time. You haven't been home for a long time, I asked Bing'er to accompany you back, this body cultivation can be regarded as an explanation to your father. ”

Pan Jue scratched his head and turned to look at the Hidden Flower Valley that had accompanied him for three whole days, and there was a bit of trance between his eyebrows, only the red moon dagger in his hand reminded him that he had another identity as a contemplator in these three short days.

Han Bing came over and patted Pan Jue's shoulder, and said, "It's inevitable to have feelings, let's go" After speaking, he walked towards the valley mouth first.

Pan Jie came back to his senses, and his eyes that looked up at the sky showed a determined gaze, and then he said goodbye to Han Wuyi and chased after Han Bing.

"Uncle Han, are we going back directly?"

"Don't worry, my eldest brother is not in good health, I have prepared a few tonics and plan to send them to him, so let's go to where I live first"

Unconsciously, the two of them had walked out of the Valley of Flowers. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind hit Pan Jue, who had long been accustomed to the warm environment of the Flower Valley, couldn't help but shrink his neck, and the short distance of a few steps was like two worlds.

Pan followed behind Han Bing unhurriedly, and soon, a bamboo forest appeared in front of them, the green bamboos were tall and green, although the weather was cold, it did not affect the dense bamboo leaves on the bamboo branches. There is only one entrance in front of the bamboo forest.

Han Bing stopped and asked with a smile, "Jue'er, you have been here more than once, and now that you are a condenser, what do you feel?" ”

Pan Jue closed his eyes, sensed for a moment, and said, "There seems to be a phantom array in this bamboo forest. I was led in by you before, and although it felt a little wrong, I never knew what was wrong, but today I finally understood."

"Haha, that's right. I planted this bamboo forest myself according to the magic spectrum, and the number of bamboos in each area, and even the spacing of the bamboos, were carefully measured. If you take the wrong step, you will fall into a labyrinthine illusion. However, this can only prevent those who don't know the art of condensation, and it is useless if there is really a master of condensation with this phantom array. ”

After some explanation, Han Bing and Pan Jue walked through the entrance to the depths of the bamboo forest......

In the center of the bamboo forest is a circle of open space about 90 feet in circumference, and a house made entirely of bamboo leans quietly against the bamboo forest on one side, and through the bamboo fence on the house, you can see a beautiful woman sitting on a bamboo chair, with a roll of white cloth on her legs, ten white and slender fingers elegantly threading needles and threads, and her head bowed and embroidering intently; And beside her, a girl in a white dress held incense in her hand, and her big eyes stared at the silk thread in the beautiful woman's hand without blinking. The two of them are Han Bing's wife and daughter.

"Zhuxin, we're back, and you're here!"

"What... What... What?! Aunt Han is home, Uncle Han, you... Why didn't you tell me sooner? Hey, no matter what you do! Pan Jue was shocked by Han Bing's sudden surprise, he shook off Han Bing and couldn't help running, "Aunt Han! Aunt Han! I'm back! ”

"Jue'er, slow down, wait for me!"

The familiar timbre made the mother and daughter look up in the direction of the sound at the same time, and as soon as their eyes arrived, Pan Jue and Han Bing appeared in their sight impartially at the right time.

Without waiting for the mother beside her to make a move, Han Sha swept over the bamboo fence like a milk swallow and pounced towards Pan Jue, while asking urgently, "How is it, how is it, brother, have you succeeded?" Well, Daddy let you out, so to speak...... Wow, it's only been three days, it's amazing. ”

Pan Jue gently held Han Sha's slightly cold little hand that kept shaking his arm, and said gently, "So, Xiaosha, you have to work hard."

"Hmph, you don't look down on people, I'm in the realm of perfection now," Han Sha replied dissatisfiedly.

As soon as these words came out, Pan Jue was stunned for a moment, and then there was softness between his eyebrows, but he was a little unbearable in his heart. These three days have made him understand a lot about the cultivation of the path of contemplation, how lonely and boring it is. Although Han Sha is just an understatement, with her active personality, the process must only be more difficult and painful than herself. After thinking about it, Pan Jue naturally clenched Han Sha's palm, and said softly, "Don't be difficult for yourself, I'm here." I've had enough fun with you these days."

"Seriously, you can't lie to me, right?" Han Sha asked with a serious face.

Pan Jue smiled evilly, "Then, I can still ...... now"

Before he finished speaking, Han Sha immediately shouted, "No! The expected soprano made Pan cover his ears early.

Looking at the quarrel between the two children and then looking at his wife not far away, a word called warmth quietly spread into Han Bing's heart.

At this moment, Zhu Xin, who was dressed in white palace clothes, walked briskly, her lips moved slightly but she couldn't make a sound, and her concerned eyes looked a little excited.

Fang Cai was stopped by Han Sha, Pan must not be able to meet Zhu Xin for the first time, and now the person who was thinking about it was in front of him, he could no longer hold back the feelings of longing that was about to explode, and quickly greeted him, and shouted affectionately, "Aunt Han!" I miss you! ”

This call of true affection finally made Zhu Xin utter beautiful words with a hint of crying, "Hey, come, good boy, let my aunt take a good look at you." I haven't seen you for more than half a year and grown a lot taller, how to lose weight must have suffered a lot, I'm not at home and I don't know if you eat well or not......"

At this moment, Zhu Xin seemed to think of something, and said apologetically, "Hey, you see I'm confused, come and come, come and go into the house, don't catch a cold outside." ”

As soon as you enter the house, the unique fragrance of bamboo spreads, and the house is neat and quiet, and all the furniture made of bamboo is arranged in an orderly manner.

"Come, you sit down first, I'll go boil water and bring some pastries by the way, I'm afraid I'm already hungry."

"Aunt Han, don't be busy, I'm not hungry"

"It's okay, it's okay," said Zhu Xin, and walked towards the side room.

"Wait, I'll go, you've been practicing medicine to save people for most of the year, and you're tired from running around; Besides, you haven't seen them for a long time, so stay and talk to them more. Han Bingchong smiled at his wife and hurriedly responded.

Zhu Xin nodded, and then took Pan Jue and her daughter's hands and sat down on the side, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

......

"Oh, by the way, come and try this dress, I took the time to sew it when I was away, and you have a piece of yarn. Sa'er put it on, you can get it dressed and let me see it."

Although he took the clothes with both hands and did not put them on, Pan Jue's heart was already filled with warmth. Although he had never enjoyed his mother's love, he knew that at this time, the Aunt Han in his eyes had overlapped with the figure that he could only see in his dreams, and with this emotion, he uncontrollably chanted the title in his heart that he had imagined for nearly fifteen years.

“... Mother...! ”

However, this whisper, which was like a choked whisper in his throat, was clearly captured by Zhu Xin, "Jue'er, you... You... Call me what...?"

Finally, Pan Jue could no longer suppress the emotions he poured out, and threw himself into Zhu Xin's arms, hugged her waist tightly, and cried, "Mother! Mother! ”

Zhu Xin's trembling hands patted Pan Jue's back and comforted softly, "Poor child, okay, don't cry, don't cry, be good, mother is here." ”

After a while, Pan Jue got up and reluctantly pulled out of Zhu Xin's embrace, glanced at Han Sha on the side with a weak heart, picked up the scattered clothes and fled quickly.

When Pan Jue entered the inner room, Han Sha began to pout, "Hmph, mother!" I'm going to hug it too. Then he went into his mother's arms without hesitation.

With a smile on her face, Zhu Xin hugged her daughter in her arms and muttered, "Sha'er, my good boy." ”

After a while, Pan Jue had already changed his clothes, and his figure became more and more slender in a clean and well-fitting silver shirt, and his black hair was neatly tied behind his head and looked quite calm.

"Well, yes, yes, it's really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, what a beautiful young man with a jade tree in the wind, handsome and chic, Zhu Xin, you don't have a good eye for us, haha" Han Bing, who was holding a plate of snacks, said with a hearty smile.

"you, what does it have to do with you. Ignore him and get something to eat. After speaking, Zhu Xin took the plate in Han Bing's hand and walked towards Pan Jue.

Han Bing laughed helplessly a few times and said, "Jue'er, I'm ready, let's go to your house later." Baby daughter, you have to accompany your mother, she is very hard to be alone, it is not easy, now go home, you must be filial to her. ”

"What? Leave so soon... That..."

Pan Jue put down the snack and said, "Mother, I haven't been back for three days, so I have to go back first."

Zhu Xin said in frustration: "Hey... Okay, I can't be too selfish, you should spend more time with your big brother. You have been practicing in the Hidden Flower Valley for three whole days, maybe you have forgotten that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, tonight Chinese New Year's Eve you and your eldest brother must come together, I will make you your favorite snow fish pot, okay? ”

"Hmm!" With Zhu Xin's permission, Pan Jue suddenly took a step back, knelt on the ground, and solemnly kowtowed to her.

Zhu Xin said slightly angrily, "Jue'er, what are you doing here, hurry up!" ”

Pan Jue got up and said, "Mother, I remember your kindness to me over the years, this is what I should do as a son of man, I think my mother will be happy for me when she sees it in heaven."

Zhu Xin shook her head helplessly, and said softly, "Only this once, not for example!" ”

Pan Jue smiled knowingly and said, "I'll try my best." Okay, Uncle Han, let's go. Mother, little yarn, see you in the evening! ”
