Chapter 32: The Legend of the River That Day
Compared with Beihai Town, there are only about 20 households here in Linhai Village.
These families live on the sea, and in addition to the big fish, pearl shells can occasionally be salvaged in the depths of the North Sea.
The pearls on the bottom of the sea are the basic materials for refining magic weapons and formations, so the harvest of these North Sea fish and pearls alone can feed the people of the entire village.
Chen Changqing and others walked into the village under the leadership of Chen Haodong.
As soon as the villagers saw Chen Haodong, they all stepped forward to say hello.
"Sanye Chen, you're here. ”
"It's been a long time since I've seen the third master. ”
Chen Haodong responded one by one.
"Daddy, don't the people in the village have to work?" Chen Ziying looked around curiously, and found that most of the villagers were sitting in front of the house playing chess and chatting.
Chen Changqing explained in a whisper beside him: "Ying'er, now it's ready for winter. It's not fishing season, so it's dangerous to go out into the water like that. ”
Chen Ziying suddenly realized.
Chen Haodong glanced at Chen Changqing, nodded slightly, and did not make a sound.
Soon, the group passed by a temple.
Inside the temple is a stone statue of an old turtle.
Chen Ziying became curious again: "Daddy, what is this big turtle?"
Chen Haodong hurriedly said: "This is the water god offered by the villagers of Linhai Village. It is the North Sea Turtle. Ying'er, don't be disrespectful to the sea god. ”
Chen Changqing looked at the temple curiously, and found that there were sacrificial ingredients in front of the stone statue, and it seemed that the villagers of Linhai Village were still very religious, even if it was not the season to go to sea, they still sincerely worshiped this water god.
Chen Changqing stepped forward and asked Chen Haodong curiously, "Dad, the child has a question and wants to ask." ”
Chen Haodong pointed at Chen Changqing and said to Chen Ziying: "Ying'er, you must learn your brother's etiquette." ”
Chen Ziying looked up at the sky: "Oh." ”
Chen Haodong said to Chen Changqing: "What's the matter?"
Chen Changqing said: "Dad, I don't know how much you know about this water god in Linhai Village. I've seen the Northern Strange Tales that don't seem to record the deeds of this water god. ”
Chen Haodong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Regarding the deeds of Lord Water God, it is inconvenient for mortals like me to say more. If you are interested, I will send someone to the village chief to read the village chronicles of Linhai Village to you. ”
Chen Changqing nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Then the boy will thank his father first." ”
The group walked and chatted, and soon passed through Linhai Village.
Chen Changqing and the others found that their residence was not in this Linhai Village.
When he walked out of the village, Chen Haodong said to Zhou Long and the two coachmen: "You can settle down in this small shop in the village." I can't live that many people in my cliff hut. ”
Zhou Long nodded in response.
Chen Haodong said to a coachman again: "Later, you can help me go to the village chief's side and ask for a copy of the village chronicles of Linhai Village to bring to the young master Changqing." ”
After the explanation, Chen Haodong took Chen Changqing's brother and sister and left Linhai Village. After walking a short mountain road, they came to the edge of the cliff behind Linhai Village.
There is a cottage built here, which is not big. It is estimated that Chen Haodong built it himself.
Chen Haodong asked Chen Changqing's brothers and sisters to wait at the door for a while, and then went in to clean up.
Before he came, he went to get two cleansing charms, which he could use in the house to clean the dirt from the house.
After a while, Chen Haodong came out and beckoned Chen Changqing and them in.
The cottage sparrows are small but have all the organs.
There was a bed, a cupboard, and a chair in the room.
Chen Haodong spread two more haystacks in the corner of the house.
"I'll sleep on the haystack with Ying'er tonight, Changqing, if you're not well, go to bed. After coming in, Chen Haodong pointed to the bed and said.
Chen Changqing: "Dad, let Ying'er sleep in the bed." ”
Chen Ziying hugged Chen Changqing's waist: "I'll just sleep with my brother." ”
Chen Haodong's face darkened.
Chen Changqing: "Ying'er, you have grown up, and you can't sleep with your brother anymore." Brother can sleep on the haystack, you can sleep in the bed. ”
Chen Ziying: "I'm only ten years old, and I'm still very young. ”
Chen Changqing's face changed slightly: "Ying'er, let me tell you a legend that has been spread in this heaven and ten thousand worlds. It is said that there is a divine beast above the galaxy above the sky of the heavens and all worlds, its hands are like pincers, eight legs on the ground, its body is flat, and its body is wrapped in a hard carapace, and it is extremely fierce. ”
"It has been paying attention to these heavens and all worlds, and is dedicated to punishing evil things among immortals and mortals. Legend has it that there are some other worlds, where people are reversed, and the things that cross the line between brothers and sisters are watched by those eyes......"
Chen Ziying: "And then?"
Chen Changqing said gloomily: "Then those other worlds disappeared. ”
"Brother, don't lie to me, I'm not an eight or nine-year-old girl. Chen Ziying looked incredulous.
Chen Changqing looked at Chen Haodong: "If you don't believe it, ask your father, if the divine beast that observes the world's morality gets angry, it will rain down from the sky and destroy the heavens and the earth." ”
Chen Haodong nodded cooperatively: "At that time, it is estimated that the Jade Gate Realm will be reduced to ashes." ”
Chen Ziying scratched his head: "It's so serious? I sleep with my brother, will the whole world be destroyed?"
Chen Changqing nodded seriously, and secretly said in his heart: It would be nice if a few more people explained to Ying'er.
"I always feel like you two are doting me. Forget it, I'll just barely sleep in bed. Chen Ziying still agreed to sleep in the bed alone.
"Alright, you guys clean up. Bring incense and candles, and we'll go and give incense to your mother.
Chen Ziying ran to Chen Haodong's side: "Daddy, in fact, why didn't you let us come with you to worship your mother?"
Hearing this, Chen Haodong felt a little uncomfortable.
To put it bluntly, he didn't take this pair of children to heart before, and even felt that they were a burden. Especially Chen Changqing......
Chen Haodong felt ashamed, he opened his mouth, looked at Chen Changqing, and then at Chen Ziying, who was looking at him with his head up.
Chen Changqing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ziying's little hand with one hand: "Ying'er, you are still young, you don't understand." Daddy came alone to remember the sweet time he had with his mother alone. We're here, won't we disturb him?"
Chen Ziying nodded as if he didn't understand.
Chen Haodong looked at Chen Changqing with a touched face.
Chen Changqing bowed slightly at Chen Haodong.
At this moment, even Chen Haodong himself felt very strange, did he save the Jade Gate Realm in his last life, or did he kill some big devil?
This son and a daughter, one has a good mind and great intelligence. Another talent is a cultivation wizard, even the first day of the Northern Realm.
How many lifetimes have I been blessed?
Chen Changqing saw that Chen Haodong was still in a daze, so he reminded: "Daddy, in fact, we miss our mother too." Take us there. “
Chen Haodong came back to his senses at this time: "Yes, yes, let's go." ”
A family of three walked out of the hut with incense and candles and offerings.
Zhong Sitian's grave is on the edge of this cliff. The tombstone is facing the sea, Chen Changqing feels that this design is a bit strange, but this is requested by his mother, so there is nothing to worry about. As long as my mother likes it.
Chen Haodong set up the worship supplies, and then said to Chen Changqing and them: "Changqing, Ying'er comes over to offer incense." ”
Chen Changqing's brother and sister took the incense from their father's hands, bowed three times, and then offered incense respectively.
Chen Changqing: "Mother, don't worry. I took good care of my sister. She's on her first day in the North, don't worry. ”
Chen Ziying: "Mother, don't worry." My brother is already engaged to Sister Ouyang of the Ouyang family, so you don't have to worry about him being wanted. ”
Chen Changqing: "......"
After Chen Changqing and his brother and sister finished the incense, Chen Haodong sat down next to the tombstone.
Without saying a word, he looked at the tombstone.
Chen Ziying quietly asked Chen Changqing with a concentric mantra: "Brother, what is Daddy doing?"
Chen Changqing shook his head slightly, and then stepped forward and said to Chen Haodong: "Dad, I'll go back with Ying'er first." ”
Chen Haodong waved his hand and didn't speak.
Chen Changqing understood, nodded slightly, and took Chen Ziying back to the hut first.
While walking, Chen Ziying asked, "Brother, was my father thinking about my mother just now?"
Chen Changqing nodded: "You are still young, and if you have someone you like in the future, you will know what it feels like." ”
"I like you now, brother. ”
Chen Changqing looked at Chen Ziying and smiled slightly: "It's not like this." ”
"Then do you like your sister-in-law?" asked Chen Ziying.
Chen Changqing thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know in the future." But I don't feel it now. ”
As they spoke, they returned to the hut.
At this time, one of the coachmen had already come over with the village chronicle of Linhai Village and was waiting at the door of the hut.
Chen Changqing took the village chronicle: "It's hard work, big brother, you should go back and rest." You may have to bring us dinner later. ”
"Yes, Young Master Evergreen. ”
......
After the sun went down, Chen Haodong returned to the hut.
It could be seen that he must have drunk some wine.
Chen Changqing helped him into the room and sat firmly: "Daddy, dinner is ready." Why don't you eat and go rest?"
Earlier, the coachman brought the food up, but Chen Changqing and Chen Ziying didn't eat first, they both planned to eat together after Chen Haodong came back.
Chen Haodong waved his hand: "Help me go over and lie down, I won't finish eating tonight." ”
Chen Changqing nodded and helped Chen Haodong to lie down on the grass.
The Chen Changqing brother and sister glanced at each other.
Chen Changqing said to Chen Ziying: "Ying'er, I'll go outside for a walk." After you finish eating, rest early. ”
Chen Ziying: "Where are you going?"
Chen Changqing shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know the people here, and I won't be able to sleep if I don't prepare outside." ”
Chen Ziying nodded: "Well, then you go and come back quickly." Be careful. ”
Just after Chen Changqing set up a temporary induction talisman array outside the hut, plus a small formation of half a bucket of water, Chen Changqing returned to the hut.
After going back, he found that Chen Ziying and Chen Haodong were asleep.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, but fortunately he didn't go too far.
Chen Changqing didn't feel sleepy, so he sat in front of the window and looked at the village chronicles of Linhai Village by the moonlight.
At the same time, outside Linhai Village, a shadow fell from the sky.
The shadow fell to the ground, and countless pink petals moved with the wind, swirling around her.
The person who came was none other than Lin Qingxuan of the Ruthless Sect.
After Lin Qingxuan landed, he counted with his fingers.
"There are so many cultivation geniuses in this small place?"
She wanted to look in the direction of Linhai Village, and then looked in the direction of Linbei City in the distance.
"Let's go over here first. In the end, Lin Qingxuan chose the side of the distance comparison.
Between the words, she jumped into the air and took off towards the mountain behind Linhai Village.
......
Chen Changqing flipped through the village chronicles page by page, and before he knew it, it was early in the morning.
He had always been interested in this kind of anecdote, and he had the feeling of watching strange stories on Earth before.
Chen Changqing was watching the rise, and the magic circle outside the house fluctuated.
Cultivators?
