Chapter 96: The Singing of the Summer Cicadas (2)

The thatched simple gazebo, Dongsheng was lying on a chair, the thin aura in his body was running on his own, and at the end of this period of cultivation, his grandfather did not let him be idle, not only to prepare for the school in the city, but also to learn the basic knowledge of the world in his grandfather's mouth, Liu Laohan also told him that learning these was not so that he could take the initiative to step into that world, and when the torrent hit, he could have a chance to breathe and live.

Dongsheng understood that the old man might have felt some changes from him, so he said those words, and he also asked Liu Laohan curiously why his father did not practice martial arts, Liu Laohan just shook his head and said, "Your father, if you are lucky, you don't have to suffer from martial arts in this life." โ€

Dongsheng saw that his grandfather didn't want to say more, so he didn't continue to ask, he could only bury his doubts in his heart, as for why his father was lucky, only he would slowly find the answer in the future.

Pulled out a thick little paper tie from his pocket, one end was tied to death by a thin rope, it looks like a villain book, only Dongsheng knows, this is a little baby made by his grandfather, grandpa said that this is called a book in the cultivation world, as long as you understand the things inside, Dongsheng will encounter things in the cultivation world in the future, and basically have a bit of a score in his heart.

As grandpa said, the strange scenes encountered before, as well as those treacherous monsters, there are rough records in this little book, that is, most of them are abbreviated, and detailed records are very rare, about this, Old Man Liu said that this small codex was passed down by Grandpa Dongsheng, from Grandpa Dongsheng to Grandpa Dongsheng to Grandpa Dongsheng to the second grandfather, until Old Man Liu passed it on to Dongsheng, passed down from generation to generation. Most of the knowledge in it was collected by the grandfather, and the detailed descriptions were slowly added by the younger generations.

Receiving this Zhiwei Codex, Dongsheng is like a treasure, every time he finishes his cultivation and study, he will take out a small codex and read it carefully, not only to understand the treasures and strangeness of the cultivation world, but also the child's natural curiosity, he feels that he will have to add his own notes to it in the future.

The old Zhiwei Codex is composed of yellowed pieces of paper, and the handwriting written on it with an oil-based pen has become a little blurry due to the passage of time, but fortunately, each owner cherishes it very much, so it does not affect the viewing.

Dongsheng raised his hand and gently flipped the paper, and the codex made a sound as it flipped, echoing in the quiet pavilion, turning the codex to the position he had read before, and silently reciting, "Charm, the essence of wood and stone......, ้ญ‘, a dragon-shaped ......." โ€

Dongsheng reads the contents of the Codex selflessly, a novel world, and his child's curiosity is like a shriveled sponge that meets plenty of moisture, sucking it with all his might.

With a squeak, the courtyard door was opened, Dongsheng woke up from his trance, blinked his eyes and looked in the direction of the movement, the figure of Liu Laohan appeared at the courtyard gate, and he had finished the day's farm work with a hoe and came back to cook for his grandson.

"Grandpa!" Dongsheng called.

Hearing his grandson's call, Liu Laohan grinned, raised his hand and waved, indicating that he heard it, seeing this, Dongsheng also understood that the old man was going to go directly to the back kitchen, so he withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the codex.

Put the hoe on his back into the adobe house that specializes in stacking farm tools, Liu Laohan glanced at his grandson with his spare eyes, and saw that he was looking through the codex with relish, and there was a trace of memory in his eyes, thinking that when he first got the codex, he was also eager to take out the codex every day and look through it, this small codex, now there are also his notes, after all, after so many years, he has also experienced a lot of things, but the people who have experienced those things together are gone, and only two half-cut old men are left.

"Alas......", the old man spit out a long breath of turbidity through the smoke, Liu Laohan retracted his gaze, looked at the rhubarb shaking his head in front of him, shook his wry smile helplessly, stretched out his calloused arm, rubbed it on the dog's head a few times, and then left to walk to the back kitchen.

After a simple dinner, and the grandfather and grandson didn't have any other business hobbies, Liu Laohan turned on the black and white TV in the house, ready to watch the daily news broadcast to pass the boring time. Dongsheng returned to the pavilion and sat cross-legged on the straw mat, which was newly woven by Liu Laohan, and the chair was indeed a little inconvenient to cross his legs when practicing. Night refining is Liu Laohan recently let the winter sheng begin, night refining pays attention to the inner Zhoutian, the morning refining pays attention to the outer periphery, the morning purple qi comes from the east, at this time the purple gas and the Zhou Tian cycle, for a long time refining a trace of pure yang, pure yang meaning is difficult to invade, can protect their own heart when the yin enters the body, night refining, the inner Zhou Tian circulation, temper their own flesh and blood with qi and blood, accelerate the evolution of the body, and promote the body to enter the refining body faster.

Only when the foundation of morning refining is solid, can there be enough qi and blood to temper flesh and blood during night refining, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Liu Laohan glanced at his grandson's hard work in cultivation, and the corners of his mouth also showed a hint of relief.

On the second day, Dongsheng got up for morning exercise according to his habit, sat on the straw mat in the pavilion, a familiar warmth came from all around, Dongsheng felt like he was soaked in a hot spring, his whole body was so comfortable that even his pores were opened, and even he could feel a crisp and numb itch from the depths of his bones, which was not only uncomfortable, but also made his whole body extremely relaxed, like someone gently brushing his spine with his hand, making him a little drowsy.

When he opened his eyes, it was already three poles of the sun, looking at the hot sun outside the pavilion, Dongsheng was also helpless in his heart, every morning practice unconsciously slept unconsciously, and it was noon when he woke up.

Liu Laohan went out early in the morning, Dongsheng glanced at the adobe house where farm tools were placed, there was a small lock hanging on the small wooden door, a dog hole was opened in the lower part of the door, and an iron chain extended into the adobe house from the outside, and it seemed that Rhubarb was sleeping inside.

Dongsheng speculated that Liu Laohan did not take farm tools, most of the time there is nothing in the field today, it should be to go to the small square in the village to play long cards, there is a small square at the door of the village committee of Wumu Village, there are households with active minds, through the relatives of the family committee are the village committee, just opened a teahouse in front of the small square, all day and night are the old man and the old lady there to drink tea and play cards, this year the old people also plant vegetables to pass the time, the field is okay to run to the teahouse in the small square, the teahouse in the town is too far, two yuan of fire three rounds, are enough to play a few rounds of cards, except for the spot, The old people are all gathered there, and Dongsheng doesn't have to guess, he knows that most of the old man Liu is also there to fool around with a group of old men and old ladies.

Ma slipped up from the straw mat, Dong Sheng thought that he hadn't been to the town for almost two months, and he should go to see it, and by the way, see how his good brother Pang Heiwa was, and he didn't know how his martial arts cultivation was. Thinking that his hair was already black and coarse, and most of them were even more black and coarse after cultivating martial arts, Dongsheng shook his head.

When he got up in the summer, he wore a pair of shorts in winter, and now he has slender muscles, with slightly dark skin and a height of just 1.7 meters, and his whole body exudes a fierce temperament. Although he used to be outstanding among his peers, his bamboo pole-like figure made him look like a gust of wind could blow him away, compared to two months ago, he has indeed changed a lot now.

However, for himself, this kind of subtle change is difficult to find, and Dongsheng doesn't feel that he has changed anywhere.

Walking out of the gazebo, Dongsheng walked towards the faucet that fetched water. Coming to the faucet, Dongsheng held the handle of the rod and waved it easily, and after a while the clear well water rushed out of the faucet and flowed into the water tank that was placed under the faucet in advance, Dongsheng leisurely played the water until the water tank was filled, and then let go of the hand holding the rod handle.

Grabbing the scoop floating on the water tank, Dongsheng scooped the cold well water full of scoops, and then poured it down from his head, the coldness of the well water has not yet invaded the body, it was dispelled by the pure yang meaning of swimming, Dongsheng did not feel the slightest discomfort, only felt that the well water still had a little warmth.

Since after each morning exercise, another layer of filth like oil would appear on the surface of his body, Dongsheng had to take a shower every time he finished his cultivation to keep himself clean.

At the end of the shower, Dongsheng casually threw the scoop into the water tank, half of the water in the tank, Dongsheng walked to the house, the qi and blood in the body flowed, a warmth covered the whole body, the water droplets on the body surface were evaporated, and a burst of white smoke rose from Dongsheng's body instantly, and even the wet shorts were dried instantly.

When he came to the back room, Dong Sheng found a few clean clothes on his bed, and when he put them on, he was no different from an ordinary country boy except for his darker complexion.

Dongsheng thought about his schoolwork, and felt that there was nothing to review, and he didn't have much confidence in the entrance exam he was going to take in the city school next month, but he did everything he had to do, and the results will be handed over to tomorrow.

Retracting his gaze from the schoolbag, Dongsheng took a few clothes and stuffed them into the satchel, carrying the satchel Dongsheng walked straight out of the door, along the path in the village, and walked to the small square at the door of the village committee in winter, looking at the old men and women in the small square sitting around a small wooden table, staring at the cards in their hands with relish, and the one who did not sit down also took a small plastic stool, sitting behind the card friends to concentrate, the owner of the teahouse is also a person who can do business, looking at the noon, cooking a big pot of dishes, a big bowl of rice covered with a big pot of dishes, Give the old people a bowl to eat, a little bit of not being able to eat with confidence, this little thing hinders their customers from playing cards.

Dongsheng glanced at the old man Liu, the old man was holding a big bowl of food in his left hand, holding chopsticks in his right hand, while watching the card friends in front of him playing cards, eating the meal with relish, holding the bowl with a lit cigarette on his left finger, smoking while eating, while setting up a dragon gate array with the old friends around him, this day is not good.

Thinking about it, he even forgot his grandson's lunch, but for those who cultivate martial arts, it is not a big problem to be hungry for one or two meals, and Dongsheng naturally will not complain about his grandfather. As soon as Dongsheng arrived in the small square, Liu Laohan noticed the breath of his grandson, turned his head to look at his grandson with a smile, raised his hand holding chopsticks and waved, signaling his grandson to come over quickly.

Dongsheng shook his head helplessly, passed by a bunch of old men and old ladies with broken mouths, and came to Liu Laohan's side, "Baby, have you eaten?" Liu Laohan said with a smile.

Dongsheng shook his head and said, "Haven't eaten yet?" โ€

"That feeling is good" said Liu Laohan put his chopsticks in the bowl and was about to take care of the little owner of the teahouse, when Dongsheng raised his hand to stop him.

"Grandpa, I'm going to go to the town to play with Pang Heiwa for a few days, and I'll go to the town to eat later."

"Oh? All right. Liu Laohan said, retracting his palm, "Go to the town to pay attention to safety, don't cause trouble." Old man Liu admonished.

"I know," Dongsheng nodded.

"By the way, don't forget your daily practice."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Dongsheng waved his hand, and finally said, "Grandpa, I'm leaving", and turned around and walked out of the small square.

Looking at the back of his grandson's departure, Old Man Liu also shook his head helplessly, this kid hasn't been to the town to play for so long, he may be itching in his heart, originally Old Man Liu thought that according to his grandson's habits, it would be good to be able to touch the body refining a heavy body in a year, but he didn't expect to give him a surprise, but he didn't touch the threshold of the body refining a heavy one before it was two months. Although he has always disapproved of his grandson's cultivation of martial arts, his grandson's talent and hard work still make Old Man Liu himself have to admit that it is indeed very good.

"Old Liu, is this your grandson?" Lao Li, who was also eating in a bowl on the side, glanced at Dongsheng and said.

"That's it! Who do you think is the grandson? Old man Liu squinted at his old friend and said in a slashing voice.

"Ouch hey! Oh no, look at you like that! Lao Li rolled his eyes and continued, "How long has this been cultivating?" I see that your grandson's divine light is restrained, and the meaning of pure yang appears from time to time, it should be almost a heavy day, how long have you been secretly teaching your grandson behind the back of your old brothers? โ€

"Hehe......", Old Man Liu smiled and said, "I won't tell you!" โ€

"Tut-tut", Old Man Li smacked his mouth, and when he saw that Old Man Liu just didn't say anything, he couldn't help but guess: "It looks like the bone age is almost thirteen, and it will take three or four years to be able to practice half a foot and a heavy sky at this age." โ€

"You old boy, you said that you didn't want to start a spiritual relationship with our grandson, and you didn't want your grandson to set foot in the cultivation world. Boy! I secretly taught my brothers behind my back, I said why my grandson has never learned the true meaning of pure yang, it turns out that you keep a hand! โ€

As he spoke, Lao Li Tou threw the finished rice bowl on the small table, and the bowl and the small dining table collided together and made a clang, and several old comrades-in-arms sitting together looked over.

"Lao Li, what's the situation?"

"Old man Li, what are you angry at Lao Liu? Your grandson's comprehension, pure yang, and true intentions have to be spit out ...... his mouth. โ€

"Hahaha......!" The little old men didn't think it was a big deal to watch the drama with their rice bowls, so they laughed vigorously at each other.

Seeing this, Old Man Li's face was a little unbearable, red and white, his eyes were horizontal, and he saw that Old Man Liu was still holding the bowl, leisurely pulling the food, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, he was even more angry, his heart was horizontal, the qi and blood in his body were running, and the qi waves of the eightfold body refining were scattered, and he was about to spread out and raise bursts of dust, and several coercion of the same level broke out around him at the same time, suppressing the vision caused by the eightfold body refining of Old Man Li within a radius of his body.

Bursts of white divine light appeared on the surface of Old Man Li's body, and the divine light flowed like a flower, setting off Old Man Li like a god. Suddenly, Lao Li's legs broke out of the air, turned into an afterimage and kicked at Liu Laohan, who was close in front of him, looking at the whereabouts of his feet, facing the bowl where Old Man Liu was eating.

"Poofโ€”โ€”! Just like the sound of an iron rod hitting cotton, Liu Laohan was still holding a rice bowl in the small square, but the hand holding the chopsticks before was horizontal in front of him, and the calloused black palm was just holding Lao Li's calf, and Lao Li's leg was rioting, as if he wanted to break free of Old Man Liu's palm, but unfortunately Old Man Liu's palm was still firmly grasping his calf and not moving.

"Okay, okay, the two of them are almost two hundred years old, and they are still like children, who can do everything at once!"

"Lao Li, no, between brothers, such a little thing, you can do it!"

The old men who were watching around opened their mouths to persuade, but Lao Li Tou rolled his eyes, when he was arching the fire just now, he didn't see a few of you dogs persuading him, so he had to wait for Lao Tzu to eat deflated.

"Tian Botou! Let go! Lao Li shouted Liu Laohan's nickname.

Liu Laohan pursed his lips and said, "Disperse your divine power first." โ€

"Hmph......", Lao Li Tou breathed out of his nose, although there was still an angry expression on his face, but the divine light that appeared on Old Man Li was slowly extinguished.

Seeing this, Old Man Liu also let go of his hand, Old Man Li instantly withdrew his legs, sat down under the persuasion of several old comrades-in-arms around him, tilted his head to the side angrily, and no longer looked at Old Man Liu.

Just after kicking it just now, his legs seemed to tremble slightly. Thinking of his eightfold cultivation of refining the body, destroying gold and breaking jade can be said to be holding a handle, but he can't break a palm of Old Man Liu, he has become stronger again over the years, thinking of this, Old Man Li Yu Guang looked at Old Man Liu staring at him with a cheap smile, and he was even more angry.

"Lao Liu, don't be angry with him, if you are old, you will be angry to death, hehehe......." The old Zheng Tou, who was eating deliciously on the side, laughed.

Old man Liu and old man Li both twitched the corners of their mouths, when it came to their cultivation, it was difficult to die, how could they be angry to death, this old Zheng Tou was using the two of them to fight each other.

"Tell me, what's going on with your grandson?" Old man Li still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and said with a pestle on his face.

Hearing this, Old Man Liu didn't reply, and stretched out two fingers, "Two years?!" Old man Li was shocked, and thought of his grandson, who couldn't learn martial arts, and finally had to transfer to an academic scholar, so Old Man Li sighed.

Old man Li said again: "Finally, I ask something, are you hiding your true meaning from pure yang?" โ€

Obviously, this old man Li's grandson's martial arts comprehension is a mess, I have to blame Old Man Liu for hiding his secrets, and he will talk about this every once in a while, this will come again, Liu Laohan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and still said: "Just think about it, although the grandsons of Lao Zheng and Lao Zhang have not cultivated the true meaning of pure yang, but other people's grandsons have realized the meaning of pure yang and realized their own things, don't you understand?" โ€

"Today, I don't see that your grandson's pure yang true meaning is so pure, it is better than when you were young, isn't this just a mouthful......", Old Man Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, showing a trace of embarrassment on his face.

When Old Man Liu heard this, he didn't want to bother with him anymore, so he took out his chopsticks from the bowl, his mind moved slightly, and the food that had been cold on his left hand was a little warmer, and he pulled up the food beautifully, and continued to watch his old comrades-in-arms play cards.
