Chapter 20 The shadow of the mind is full of illusions
Fang Ziqing's eyes looked through the candle flame, as if she was looking through those memories of the past. Bursts of complicated emotions flashed in her heart, and she said helplessly: "But how many Qi Refiners have been able to enter the three days of immortality since ancient times?" As a mother, I really don't understand why you men want to go down such a dangerous road with all their minds, isn't it good to be a mortal who is content and happy? β
Fang Xing only came to his senses at this time, why was Fang Zizheng about to say to himself again and again that the Qi Refining Dao was a road of victory and undefeated, it turned out that this was the case.
After hesitating for a while, Fang Xing really didn't know how to comfort his mother, he could only comfort her with a clumsy smile on the side: "Being an ordinary man is also death in the end, and being a Qi Refiner who swallows clouds and fog may still have a chance to live." Men always have to go on a vigorous journey to live their lives in vain. Mother, you look down on the child. Perhaps, the son will be able to step into immortality for three days, and let a bunch of people fall through the eyeballs! β
In order to amuse his mother, Fang Xing even made a funny and ridiculous expression.
"Poof" Fang Mu was really amused by him, she shook her head with a smile and said, "You are sixteen years old, you still don't grow up?" β
Fang Xing laughed and said: "In front of the mother, the son will always be the son. β
Fang Ziqing was overjoyed in her heart, and finally found that the son in front of her was already a little different from her usual momentum. She said with relief: "You have grown up and have your own pursuits, and it is not easy to stop you as a mother." Well, then I can wait for the day when you are canonized as a real person by the imperial court. β
"Canonization of a real person?" Fang Xing blinked when he heard this, he remembered that the Vulture Ancestor had said something like 'True Human Realm' to him.
Fang Ziqing smiled and said, "As long as my son can step into immortality for three days, the Great Zhou Imperial Court will canonize you as a real person." In the past 400 years, a total of 72 real people have been canonized on the Great Monday, and they have been awarded the dojo and listed as enshrined in the court. Since my son has great ambitions, I hope that my son can also be among them in the future. β
The Vulture Ancestor turned out to be a figure in the Three Days of Immortality, and such a person actually died in Fang Xing's hands! This astonishing fact, Fang Xing still has a moment of fear when he thinks about it now! I really don't know who can beat him to the point where he escapes, and finally crashes into Fang Xing's sword and dies of grievance.
Fang Xing was first shocked in his heart, and then asked with some surprise: "Could it be that these seventy-two real people are all the Qi Refiners who have entered the three days of immortality in the past four hundred years?" How did Mother know this? β
Fang's mother avoided answering, but said, "There are still many things that my mother knows!" A lot of things that I can't tell you right now. Three days after you step into the psychics, you will be in charge of our family. At that time, Wei Niang will tell you a lot of secrets that you don't know. β
Fang Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect his mother to use this method to stimulate his fighting spirit, he also smiled and said: "The child must work hard, and he will not let his mother down!" β
He said this to the core! Fang Ziqing smiled with relief when she heard this, she closed her eyes for a while, and then spoke again: "You used to have a bad temperament, if you want to embark on the road of qi refining, you still have to hone some after all." At home, my mother and your uncle can mention you more, but if you go out, it will all depend on you, and my son will have to be patient and beat himself well! β
Speaking of this, Fang Mu secretly paid attention to the expression on Fang Xing's face, she secretly accused Fang Xing in that paragraph, if Fang Xing had heard it before, he would definitely be unconvinced. This time, he unexpectedly found that Fang Xing's face was as usual, and there was no abnormal color, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. It's just that this kid has finally grown up, and he is just happy at the moment, but he doesn't know that the whole person of Fang Xing now has a earth-shaking change, and now he can't wait to reflect on all the stupidity and mistakes in the past, where will he be stubborn in this little thing.
"I have said so much for my mother, do I know the proportions of this?"
"My son understood." Fang Xing replied honestly.
"My son has been smart since he was a child, so naturally he doesn't need a hammer to beat the drum. It's good to understand, and it's not in vain for my mother to talk to you so much. β
Fang's mother's eyes were gentle and loving, but there was an inexplicable pressure, so that Fang Xing didn't have the slightest idea of interjecting, just listened quietly and understood her words with his heart.
Fang's mother talked so much intermittently, she was really tired, she patted Fang Xing's hand that was pinching his shoulder, and motioned for Fang Xing to come to him.
Caressing Fang Xing's gradually thicker shoulders, Fang's mother said to Fang Xing with a hint of expectation: "My son has also grown up, so I won't say anything more for my mother." β
"Well done! Well done! Your father is a great man, and I don't want your father and my mother to be disappointed. β
This was just a word of advice that parents all over the world often said, but at this moment, it caused a wave in Fang Xing's heart.
"Your Father......"
"Your father is a great man......"
Fang Xing couldn't help but be shocked, this was the first time he had heard her mention his father from his mother!
Whether it is the title of 'unmarried pregnancy' or the title of 'illegitimate child', these two are huge clouds over Fang Ziqing and Fang Xing's heads. For them, this is a taboo that cannot be avoided, but which has to be ignored.
Whether in the past or now, Fang Xing is a filial son, and he can perceive it since he was a child: for his seriously ill mother, it is sad to talk about his biological father. Therefore, he obediently buried his doubts deep in his heart, Fang Ziqing never mentioned it, Fang Xing didn't ask, and the mother and son seemed to have been tacitly working together to hide the word 'father' until now-until this moment, Fang Ziqing took the initiative to say it.
"Ah......" Fang Xing was dumbfounded, stunned.
"Let's go, take a shower, get ready to rest, my son is tired today, let's rest early." Fang Mu didn't seem to know how much shock her words would bring to Fang Xing, her expression was the same as always, and her tone was soft but firm urging Fang Xing to sleep.
Seeing Fang Xing leave rather depressed, Fang Ziqing also got up and prepared to rest.
She lay on the bed, staring at the wall with motherly eyes, as if it were Fang Xing's face, or the man who occupied her mind and body. She stretched her limbs slightly, and soon began to breathe evenly and slowly, and she fell asleep.
When Fang Xing came out of Fang's mother's room, Zhu'er was leaning over, leaning on the low table, dozing off in a daze. She is now lulling Sisi to sleep, and then went to fetch water, boil water, and add firewood for a long time, boiling three pots of boiling water in a row, but after waiting for a long time, Fang Xing didn't come out, which made her tired and sleepy.
Fang Xing was in a stomach at this time, seeing that her little face was slightly blackened, and she looked pitiful, she didn't say anything to laugh, just wiped her face, waved her hand again, and let her go to sleepβit was already late, and she didn't need to wait anymore.
After Zhu'er went back to the room to sleep, Fang Xing took a bath by himself.
The wooden barrel is very wide and deep, which can allow Fang Xing to sit in it. There is a lot of boiling water, which can fill the large bath tub to the brim. The water is slightly hot, but it is very comfortable to soak.
What makes Fang Xing even happier is that this large bath bucket is also made of hundred-year-old pine, and as soon as the boiling water is poured in, there is a unique fragrance of pine wafting out.
Fang Xing shrank in the large bathtub, and could feel that the bones and skin of his whole body were relaxed, and in the dense water vapor, hundreds of millions of pores in his body were opened. After just soaking for a while, I felt that the fatigue of the day was gone, and the whole person became refreshed.
In this faint fragrance of pine trees, Fang Xing was enjoying it while silently taking care of his thoughtsβhe was still thinking about the things that Fang's mother had told him just now.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was more and more fog shrouded in my mother, and it became a little strange to Fang Xing.
"Whew!" Soaking in the water, he let out a long exhale.
The young Fang's mother is undoubtedly a beauty, Fang Xing is convinced of this.
From the time Fang Xing could remember, he remembered that many people had beaten his mother's idea, and even Fang Xing's two uncles had the idea of being a matchmaker and recruiting his uncle again, but Fang's mother was completely unmoved, and would rather be worn out by the lonely and lonely time that the youth and beauty that women were proud of, rather than forget his father.
Fang Xing had never seen his father, and he didn't know who his father was. But now her mother took the initiative to say it, and the reason for this really made Fang Xing puzzled.
"It turns out that my father was not a nameless stealer, but a great man."
Fang Xing has never been able to understand, what kind of man should be to make his mother so fascinated by him? What kind of motivation has kept my mother silent and persistent for so many years? Is it all because of the love of the mother for the father? A short love that only happened a dozen years ago?
These confusions seem to have a temporary explanation in the sentence "Your father is a great character" that Fang's mother said today.
No son doesn't want his father to be a great man. Similarly, even Fang Xing, who has been a human for two lifetimes, has an undeniable vague expectation of his father.
What Fang's mother said made Fang Xing very happy, but it was far from enough for him.
"Well done! Well done! β
"Your father is a great man"
"My son will not disappoint your father and mother."
Fang Xing repeated Fang's mother's expectation several times in his heart, and closed his eyes for a long time, until the water in the bucket was slightly cool, and after all the thick water vapor that was still curling and swirling before had drifted away, he suddenly stood up from the water.
Countless droplets of water scrambled to drip from his long hair, drawing graceful arcs and leaving along the curves of his healthy body.
Fang Xing just let his body be exposed to the air. A pair of narrow eyes, shining like an open flame under the moist half-drooping eyelashes, dazzling and cold, this is a reflection of the surging fierceness in his heart.
He threw his hands up in the air, like thunder, and slammed them on the water, causing a splash, but he didn't care in the slightest. With frowning, pursed lips, and a straight face, he stepped out of the tub without saying a word, put on his clothes, carried the tub, emptied the sewage, and then went straight to his room.
The night was long, and he still had a lot to figure out!
The first thing is to get a clear picture of the seven-colored treasure light!
