Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 6 Leaving Home
Chapter 6: Leaving Home
Three years have passed in a blink of an eye in the chase and play of children and the love and pampering of parents. The two children of the past are also getting more and more upright, Liu Wen is already thirteen years old, and it will be time to tie his hair in two years.
Xu is life is stable, all-you-can-eat, sleep peacefully, in the past three years, Liu Wen has grown like a catalpa tree planted in the backyard when he first entered Liu's mansion, and now he has caught up with Liu Wen, and even surpassed.
Although he has read for another three years, Liu Wen's style and fire have not changed, this is the so-called easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change.
Liu Wen has changed a lot, from the initial silence and shyness to cheerfulness, but the calmness in his bones has not changed. Although I have only studied with Mr. Cheng for three years, I am deeply valued by Mr. Cheng. In Mr. Cheng's words: "Clever mind, clear and obedient, the road can be expected." ”
Cheng Baishuang has been in Linxia City for all these years, and the only people who can afford his praise in person are Liu Wen and the eldest son of the Li family.
"No doubt, recently, my father sent his former friend Wen'er to the mountain to practice martial arts, what are you going to do?" Liu Yuan said in an inquiring tone, the intention was obvious, I don't ask for it, you choose yourself.
A few days ago, Liu Yuan held a hair binding ceremony for his two sons, which was held in advance. Because he wanted to send Liu Wen to Taihua Sect, one of the thirteen sects, he didn't know what year and month it would be when he came back, so the hair binding ceremony was held in advance. For Liu Wen, it must be in advance, but for Liu Wen, it is unknown.
Liu asked, the word is not doubtful, Liu Yuan gave it. Liu Wen, the word Xiwen, was also given by Liu Yuan. Judging from the words of these two sons, Liu Yuan really doesn't look like a martial artist, at least not like an ordinary martial artist.
"My son didn't dare to invite, and he didn't dare to resign, it was up to his father's will. Liu Wen bowed.
"Don't be inhibited, sit down and talk. Liu Yuan waved his hand.
In the end, I have been reading the book for three years, and listening to it while I am talking, it is not in vain for Cheng Bailu's comments.
"Dad knows your heart, you can also go with Wen'er, and you will have a little to take care of. What he Liu Yuan didn't say was who would take care of whom.
"Dad, when will Uncle Zhu arrive, I'll greet you for you. Liu Wen looked excited, strode into the door, and sat next to Liu Wen.
"According to your Uncle Zhu's reply, it will be noon tomorrow, and sunset should also arrive. Wen'er, your brother will accompany you to Taihua Sect, and in the future, in Taihua Sect, you will listen to your brother for all important things. ”
"My brother will go too, great, then I won't have to worry about it. ”
"Don't worry about what, don't worry that no one will carry the black pot for you?" Liu Yuan glanced at him angrily. "When you go out, it's no better than at home, be careful in everything, don't make trouble for your brother again. In this Linxia City, your brother can carry it down for you, but outside, it will be difficult. ”
"Follow my father's teachings. "Liu Wen is poor, but in terms of right and wrong, he still has a spectrum in his heart, Mr. Cheng's six years of books, Liu Wen has not studied in vain.
"You two go back and pack up, and spend more time with your mother in the past two days. ”
The two said yes, got up and left together.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the whole family got up early with a tacit understanding, and after breakfast, they sat together and chatted. The four of them all saw reluctance in their respective eyes, but who didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that saying it would only add to the sadness.
Before I knew it, it was almost noon, and suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves stopped abruptly outside the courtyard. Needless to say, the four of them got up together and walked towards the door, only to see a middle-aged man standing outside the door.
A green shirt, a sword behind him. In Liu Wen's words, that is, ---- a dashing sword immortal.
The man with the sword is surnamed Zhu Mingmei, the word is far away, it is Liu Yuan's old friend, what is the specific method of communication, Liu Yuan did not talk to his two sons in detail, only said that he would trust Uncle Zhu as much as he Liu Yuan.
"Ziyuan, don't come unharmed. Liu Yuan stepped forward and held Zhu Mei's hands, and said loudly.
"I said Zhiyuan, Han Yue, you two can really hide" Zhu Mei saw the two former friends again, as if he was in a different world, his face was full of joy.
Liu Yuan pressed his hands slightly, and looked at Zhu Mei with both eyes, as if his eyes could speak, and Zhu Mei immediately stopped talking.
"Come, I've seen your Uncle Zhu. Liu Yuan recruited two sons to introduce Zhu Mei.
"This is my son Liu Wen, although he is a righteous son, he is better than his own child. ”
"This is my second Liu Wen, very naughty. Liu Yuan has always been proud when he introduces his two sons to others. It's like only you Liu Yuan has a son, and others don't have a son.
Not to mention, this Zhu Mei who came today really has no son, and even his daughter-in-law was robbed, and it was none other than Liu Zhiyuan in front of him who robbed his daughter-in-law.
"Meet Uncle Zhu. The two children spoke in unison.
Zhu Mei was also prepared, took out two bags from his arms, and gave them to the two children, "Keep them first, and use them later." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhu!"
"Don't stand outside, talk inside. Mrs. Liu, that is, Han Yue in Zhu Mei's mouth, said.
The three friends hadn't seen each other for many years, and this chat was two hours, Liu Wen was curious about what they were talking about, but as soon as he entered the house, he asked Liu Yuan to send him out.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Liu Wen thought that he couldn't go today, but at this time, Liu Yuan called the two of them out.
From his father and Zhu Mei, he heard that the time was in a hurry, and he was going to set off now. Liu Wen went out for the first time since he was a child, and his original excitement faded a lot at the time of separation, looking at his parents in the courtyard, his eyes were red. Liu Wen hurriedly turned around and got into the car, so that the tears did not fall.
Although Liu Wen has been wandering for three years, it is also the first time to leave relatives in the real sense, although calm, but also sentimental, for a while a thousand words do not know how to speak, and finally only said "Dad, mother, take care." ”
After the two boarded the car, Zhu Mei no longer greeted each other, and drove westward, anyway, he recognized the door today, and he wanted to come at any time in the future.
Liu Yuan and his wife kept looking west, and did not withdraw their gaze until the carriage had disappeared from view. After Mrs. Liu withdrew her gaze, she turned around and went back to the house.
Liu Yuan walked straight to the old blind man's desk, looked at the old blind man's teapot that was still steaming on the desk, and slowly spoke:
"Purple sand in the clear spring,
Flowers in the water.
Steaming fragrant flowers,
The slightest bitterness runs Shaohua. ”
"Yo, Lord Liu is so Yaxing," the old blind man put away the seriousness of fortune-telling and quipped.
"You have a big heart, and you are not your son. ”
"Why don't you give me one? or two. "Old blind man, this is an old and indecent today.
"Get out, I don't have the heart to talk to you, I'm willing to wait for Wen'er to come back and you will pull him off" Liu Yuan was not angry. Can there be? Now that the two sons are by their side, they are still calculating.
"Who let you have two good sons, and they are both so good" The old blind man no longer teased Liu Yuan.
"Are you sure?"
"The road has been paved, let's see the creation!"
Liu Yuan stopped talking, turned his head and looked west again.
The old blind man also looked westward, and his closed eyes were slightly open at this time, but he saw that his eyes were full of stars.
If a guy sees this scene, he will definitely say, "Act, you two play hard." A vulgar martial artist who writes poetry when he opens his mouth, and a blind man with starry eyes. "These are two special actors!"
The two brothers, Liu Wen and Liu Wen, said goodbye to their parents and followed Zhu Mei all the way to the west, they didn't know what was waiting for them in front of them, at least not yet, and they didn't even know where their destination, Taihua Sect, was.
Along the way, Liu Wen asked Zhu Mei, and Zhu Mei always said that it was still early, and when he really entered the mountain, he would know.
When he first got on the road, Liu Wen was quite curious, whether he looked at the scenery outside the window and teased Liu Wen. But after a long time, I became a little sleepy, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
When he woke up, the car had stopped, and Liu Wen got out of the car to see that the three of them were in the wilderness. There was nothing but trees around.
Liu Wen was a little panicked, but fortunately he saw a fire not far from the carriage, and the smell of barbecued meat came from it. Smelling this, my stomach is really hungry.
Liu Wen quickly ran to the fire, and it turned out that Liu Wen and Zhu Mei were gnawing on rabbit meat from someone else. Liu Wen was also not polite, he tore a rabbit leg from the shelf and began to gnaw.
"Uncle Zhu, where is this?" Liu Wen said vaguely.
"This mountain is the remaining vein of Xiaoyin Mountain, located in the east of your Fenglai Prefecture, I heard that Xiaoyin Mountain used to be the southeast border of Fenglai Prefecture, and the imperial court sent troops to guard here to prevent the southern barbarians from invading. There were no fewer battles, no fewer people died, and since then, there have often been some ghost things. I said big nephew, you can be careful when you sleep at night. Zhu Mei joked.
After hearing this, Liu Wen hurriedly leaned over to Liu Wen's side, looking really scared.
"Uncle Zhu, where is the Taihua Sect we are going to?" Liu Wen looked much better than the usual bold Liu Wen at this time, throwing away the bones in his hand and asking.
"In the southwest Kunwu Prefecture, it is separated from your Fenglai Prefecture by the Southern Dayan Prefecture. ”
"Then how long will it take us to get there?" Liu Wen did not know much about the geography of the world in which he lived.
The world is divided into Kyushu, Liu Wen's place is in the southeast of Fenglai Prefecture, Liu Wen's birthplace is in the easternmost part of Fenglai Prefecture, there is a village, called Longxian Village.
Although Liu Wen went all the way to the west and walked for three years, he had not even finished half of Fenglaizhou.
"If all goes well, catch the mountain spirit boat, and it will be there in January. If you don't make it, I'll send you two home. What Zhu Mei didn't say was that if he couldn't catch up, he would have to wait another ten years.
Liu asked the two brothers to not know what the mountain spirit boat in Zhu Mei's mouth was, let alone how fast the spirit boat was, but they heard that it would take a month to walk, and they instantly knew how big the world was.
Otherwise, how could Zhu Mei not enter the city, not hide in the mountains, and end up sleeping in the mountains.
Zhu Mei saw that the two brothers were full, so he told them to go to the car and rest quickly, and they would have to get up early tomorrow to hurry. He sat cross-legged by the fire, with his sword on his knees, and began to close his eyes.
The road was bumpy, Liu Wen was really tired, and he didn't wake up for long, and he was lying in the car at this time, falling asleep quickly.
Liu Wen has suffered before, and it seems that he is accustomed to it, or he may have too many things on his mind and has not fallen asleep for a long time. I can't sleep anyway, so it's better to get up and stay with Uncle Zhu for a while.
Thinking of this, Liu Wen lifted the curtain of the car, but as soon as he lifted a crack, he found that the outside of the car was as bright as day at this time, and it was dark again in an instant.
Liu Wen fixed his eyes and saw that it was Zhu Mei's long sword on his knee that was returned to the sheath, and he restrained the last trace of glory.
Liu Wen was not much surprised, and it was not the first time he had seen him. Liu Wen was just an accident, it turned out that Zhu Mei was actually the legendary mountain immortal, and then wondered, how could his father-in-law Liu Yuan get acquainted with such a fairy figure?
At this time, Zhu Mei turned his head and saw the calm in Liu Wen's eyes, but he was quite curious. A half-year-old child, who has seen such a fairy method, is not panicked, but his temperament is calm enough.
"I didn't tell you, but there are ghosts in this mountain. ”
It turned out that Zhu Mei really wasn't scaring Liu Wen, but the brothers didn't take it seriously at that time.
Now Liu Wen couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply didn't sleep. Getting out of the car and sitting next to Zhu Mei, he wanted to know more about this world, more precisely, to know this world that ordinary people don't know.
