Chapter 2: The Lesson of Love
Before you know it, seven years have passed.
"Mother, my brother doesn't play with me, woo woo ......"
"Yunxi, my brother is cultivating hard with my father, because my brother will protect you and protect us ghost clansmen when he grows up in the future, you are now four years old, and you can almost start practicing, you can't keep thinking about playing. β
"No, I just saw my brother go out to play, and he didn't take me with him. β
"Yes, when my brother comes back, my mother will teach him a stern lesson and let him spend more time with our lovely little Yunxi, okay?"
"Well, mother, then we said okay, my brother is back, and I want him to come and play with me. β
Yun Tian is really a genius, he began to practice with his father at the age of three, and in just a few years, he has mastered the power, and he will not be at a disadvantage when competing with ordinary ghost adults;
It's the same today, after practicing with my father, I ran out on my own.
A sturdy figure shuttled quickly through the jungle, and the dense bushes could not become an obstacle at all, but were used by him as a springboard, jumping from one tree to another quickly, more agile than a monkey.
One by one, the trees were left behind, and the light in front of them slowly became brighter, and "Huh" suddenly broke through the bushes and jumped onto a rock, which was a waterfall and a puddle of water.
"Haha, I'm here!!"
Looking for prestige, Yun Tian's dexterous figure appeared in front of him, full of smiles, grinning big mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth, bright big eyes, soft short hair, and the unique ghost clan logo on his forehead - ghost horns, different from normal ghost people, Yun Tian has more horns. In normal ghost people, males have one horn, located in the middle of the forehead, slightly longer, and females have two horns, on either side of the forehead, short. However, Yuntian has three horns (the middle one is longer, and the two sides are shorter), which is unique among the ghost clan, so the elders of the clan specially instructed the father and mother to teach them well and not to take the evil path.
"I've been practicing for so long, I'm so tired, and I'm finally able to have fun for a while. β
After speaking, he took off his clothes, "plopped", and got into the water, and in the clear water, a slippery body could be seen swimming back and forth, like a fish. After staying underwater for a long time, he came out of the water with a "bang" and a splash from his mouth.
"Ah~ It's so comfortable. "Yun Tianping lay on the shallow water stones, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the sun.
"Husband, did Yuntian sneak out again?"
"It's Madame, we just finished practicing, I went to drink a cup of tea, did this kid sneak out again? Madame, don't worry, when he comes back, I will definitely teach him a good lesson, haha......"
"This kid is really not worrying. Hmph, and you, as the head of the clan, don't care if you don't discipline Yun Tian strictly, but spoil him and indulge him like this, what will the clan think? Father and the elders have warned us to teach him well, but what about you? Repeatedly acquiescing to him sneaking out, what if Yun Tian causes some trouble outside?"
"Madame's lesson is that when he comes back, I will reprimand him severely. However, although Yuntian often sneaked out, he never caused any trouble, but helped the clansmen a lot, Yuntian is intelligent, and Madame, your usual careful teachings, I think Yuntian will be measured, Madame may be too worried. β
"Our ghost race survives in the gap between humans and demons, although it has been hidden and disguised well for a long time, and there has been no fighting, but it is inevitable that there will be some enemies who hate us, so it is better to be more careful. β
"Yes, yes, Madame reminded you very much. β
"Get out of here!" The father walked over and wanted to help his mother massage her shoulders and soothe her emotions, but he was scolded and dismissed.
How much you loved me when you didn't get married, and now the slightest trouble will make me angry, and I'm so embarrassed! My father's heart was full of depression.
(The Oni usually live in human form, and when they use their powers, their appearance will change somewhat, the most obvious is that when they use their strength, the horns on their foreheads will be revealed, and their eyes will change slightly.)
"Ah~ comfortable, it's not a short time to come out, it's time to go back. Yuntian stretched.
Walking happily from the clan, Yun Tian greeted everyone he met with a smile, and the clansmen also loved this little master very much, firstly, he was very arrogant, approachable, and did not have the frame of being the son of the patriarch; secondly, he often helped the clansmen to do some things, and his strength was also very strong, he was a genius in the eyes of the clansmen, how could such a person not be popular with everyone.
Before Yuntian stepped into the house, he saw his father and mother sitting in the lobby from a distance, this posture felt bad, and he was about to sneak back to the room quietly, when he was stopped by a voice.
"Yuntian, where are you going, don't you come to greet your father and mother when you see them?" said in a long voice.
only heard a "whoosh" sound, and Yuntian stood in front of his father and mother.
"Hmm~ The child is a little thirsty, come out and drink saliva......" Yun Tian said and looked at his father on the side, but his father just squeezed his eyes twice and looked out of the house.
"Gone?"
"It's gone. β
After waiting for a long time, Yun Tian saw that his mother was still holding her head with her hands, her eyes closed, and she didn't speak.
"Can I go?Mother~Adult~" Yuntian said tentatively.
"What do you think?" asked the mother arrogantly with her eyes closed.
Under the coercion, Yun Tian knew that the matter had been revealed, so he had to 'recruit from the truth': "I'm sorry, Mother, I'm not thirsty, I'm going out to help the clansmen." Didn't you and my father always teach me that you have to protect your clan, help your clan, and become strong, so after my father and I finished cultivating, we would inspect the clan to see if there were any clansmen in need of help. Father. β
"Well, yes, that's what I taught. Father chimed in.
"And who did you help today?" asked the mother, still in that tone.
"I helped Uncle Zhang repair the house today and helped Aunt Chen chop wood. β
"Yudie, go and call Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen over. β
"Yes. β
"Alas~alas~, Mother, I don't do these things to show off, but to follow your teachings and help the clansmen, and I don't have to trouble people to make a special trip to verify it. Yun Tian said tremblingly.
"Really?"
"It's... yes..."Yun Tian's mouth trembled a little.
"Hmph, lie, yes! Dare to lie, it seems that you don't have a long memory if you don't teach you a lesson. The mother suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, horns appeared on her forehead, and she looked like she was going to do it.
"Madame is angry, if you have something to say, it is not good to do it. My father persuaded me.
"Shut up, sit down!" was scolded by his mother, and his father sat down honestly again.
"Do you think I don't know what you did today, I watched you run into the West Mountain, you still dare to lie in front of me, you are really getting bolder, it seems that I have to give you some color today. β
"Mother, I don't dare, I don't dare, spare me this time......" Yuntian hurriedly begged for mercy, although he had provoked his mother many times, but his mother had never used the power of the ghost clan, and this time he could see that he was going to move seriously.
"Yunxi, help!" Knowing that his father was unreliable, Yuntian could only ask his sister for help.
"Mother, mother, don't beat my brother, don't beat my brother......" Yunxi, who was standing next to her mother, pulled her mother's clothes and shook them coquettishly.
"Oh~ Yunxi, my good baby, my brother is disobedient, my mother taught him a lesson, so that he can remember and can't lie anymore in the future. Mother hugged Yunxi and said dotingly.
"My mother was so terrible just now, it scared me. ε~ε~" Yunxi sobbed.
"I'm scared baby, I'm sorry, my mother didn't mean it!" said the mother coaxed Yunxi.
"I've never advocated violent education, but punishment for you is absolutely indispensable. I can't supervise you all the time, I don't know if you steal food, and I don't think it's reliable to let others supervise me...... Today, you will be punished to wash my feet, and when I am comfortable, this matter will pass, and if it doesn't work, I can only think of other ways. How's it going?" Mother put Yunxi in her seat and got up and came to me.
"Yes, Mother. β
"Anything else to say?"
"Mother, I didn't go to Xishan today, I went to the waterhole in the south. Yuntian whispered.
Dare to refute it, right, the mother glared at Yun Tian fiercely.
"Yunxi, you are four years old this year, and my brother has been practicing martial arts since he was three years old, so ah, you will start practicing with Aunt Yudie from tomorrow! Got it?" Mother stroked Yunxi's face and said softly, then turned around and left.
Yunxi also looked confused, and sat there in a daze, because her mother usually spoiled her too much, and completely pampered her like a princess, but now she wants her to participate in the arduous cultivation, which doesn't feel real.
In the evening, Yun Tian washed his feet, came to his mother's house, knocked on the door gently, and shouted with a smile: "Mother, I have come to serve you to wash your feet." β
"Come in!"
Seeing his mother sitting on the bed, looking at him, Yun Tianle greeted him with a smile, showing a trace of fear in his smile, put down the wooden basin, lifted his mother's feet, and put them into the water.
"Mother, how do you feel, is it hot?"
"It's okay, let's get some work!"
In this terrifyingly quiet atmosphere, Yun Tian didn't dare to look up at his mother, and completed the service in fear, tiptoed back, pushed open the door and met his father, who had been observing outside.
"Afraid or not, why did you say you had nothing to provoke your mother? Also, your mother taught you for your own good, don't hold a grudge against her. Go for it!"
"Well, got it. β
"Lan Xia, are you a little too ruthless in doing this, I feel that Yuntian will have a psychological shadow on you in the future. β
"It's not your fault, as a father, as the head of a family, always pampering children and indulging them, if one day we get into trouble, it's too late for us to regret it. I don't want you to take care of you, I'm not strict enough to take the blame for you, in the end, you have a reputation as a good father, and I have become a vicious mother; β
"Okay, it's all my fault, let my wife be wronged. β
Yun Tian returned to the room, sat in front of the mirror, used a little strength, and stared at the horns above his head. Although the clansmen were warned that they were not allowed to reveal their identities at will, especially in front of the demons and humans, Yun Tian had more or less seen the appearance of the clansmen when they used their powers, including their father and mother, and none of them had three horns on their heads, except for themselves. Of course, Yun Tian never complained about his mother's strictness, and he knew that this was his mother's protection for him. Although he is very special, the clansmen have never regarded themselves as aliens and alienated, thinking of this, Yun Tian still slept happily.
