Chapter 4 Hu Family Manor

This Hu family manor is not ordinary, the current head of the family, Hu Zhennan, is a disciple of the alchemy of the outer gate of the Taiqing Gate, because of his mediocre qualifications and hopeless cultivation of immortals, he voluntarily went down the mountain to establish a family of cultivating immortals to help Taiqing Gate take care of a nearby mineral vein.

Taiqingmen and Leiyin Temple have always been good friends, Huihai presided over Zhenhai Temple, and Hu Zhennan also visited him personally. However, his status in Taiqingmen is low, and his cultivation is not high, so Huihai did not meet him in person, but just asked the monk to come forward to receive him.

Thinking of this, Huihai couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the small role that I couldn't look down on back then would now come to the door for help, it's really unpredictable." ”

Hui Hai began to close his eyes and breathe, he was seriously injured, until the sun went down and the earth was hazy, he condensed a trace of spiritual power, and he was barely able to get up, so he stumbled towards the Hu family's courtyard.

......

Hu Zhennan is fifty years old this year, he has been dealing with the elixir spirit grass for many years, and he is proficient in the art of maintenance, so he looks like a middle-aged monk in his thirties, with a face like a crown of jade, and three long whiskers fluttering on his chest.

His wife died young, leaving behind a pair of children, his sister Hu Xue is eighteen this year, born with a beautiful face and moon, is a well-known beauty, and his younger brother Hu Yun is fifteen years old, although he is young, but he is very scheming, Hu Zhennan will discuss with his son if he has anything difficult to decide.

The sky was completely dark, and more than a dozen red candles the size of a baby's arm illuminated the hall, Hu Zhennan, his son Hu Yun, and his daughter Hu Xue were sitting in the hall arguing after dinner.

"Daddy, why don't you let me take the entrance test of the sect, do you want your son to be mediocre all his life?" Hu Yun said angrily.

Hu Zhennan sighed and said: "Yun'er, the Taiqingmen entry test is a life of death, so many people take the test every year, less than two percent of them succeed, and the rest either become dementia, or their brains burst and die on the spot, why do you take this risk?"

Hu Yun argued: "How can a husband do nothing all his life, Daddy, I heard that Taiqing Sect only recruits disciples under the age of fifteen, this year is my last chance, no matter what, I have to participate this year, even if it doesn't work, death will die, what's the big deal." ”

Taiqingmen has rules, non-sect disciples are not allowed to teach Taoism, if there is a violation, will be punished by ten thousand arrows through the heart, so although Hu Zhennan is a disciple of Taiqingmen, but some of the sect's exercises and mantras are not taught to children, but only teach them some alchemy techniques, and Hu Yun has been fascinated by cultivating immortals since he was a child, and he is arrogant, if he is made a mortal, it is better to kill him.

"Nonsense, Yun'er, I'm old, if you can't pass the trial, die on the spot or become an idiot, who will take care of your sister in the future and support the Hu family's family business? Yun'er, listen to your father's words, you are very talented in alchemy, if you can become an alchemist in the future, your status in the immortal cultivation world is no worse than those immortal cultivators. Hu Zhennan said in a deep voice.

Hu Xue stretched out her hand to hold Hu Yun's hand, and comforted her softly: "Brother Yun, why do you have to cultivate immortals, it's good for us to be like this now, it's a big deal that my sister won't marry in the future, and I will accompany you and my father." ”

"Cher, you're messing around too. Hu Zhennan was angry and funny.

At this time, the housekeeper Laifu walked in quickly and said busily: "Master, a monk came to the door and said that he wanted to see you." ”

"What monk, from that temple?" asked Hu Zhennan casually.

"Well, looking at the clothes, he looks like a monk from Zhenhai Temple, by the way, he says his name is Huihai. ”

Hu Zhennan's face changed greatly, he stood up suddenly, and shouted, "Huihai, you can't hear it wrong?" Hu Yun and Hu Xue were taken aback, glanced at each other, and secretly guessed what the origin of this Huihai was.

Laifu had a difficult face, and said, "This ...... The old slave didn't listen exactly, the monk was seriously injured, and he had a broken arm, and he couldn't speak. ”

"Let's go, let's see. Hu Zhennan took Hu Yun, Hu Xue and Laifu and walked quickly towards the door.

There was a servant standing outside the gate, and when he saw them, he exclaimed, "Master, you are here, this monk has fainted." ”

Hu Zhennan took three steps into two steps, and when he arrived outside the gate, he saw that under the dim reflection of the lantern, an old monk was lying on the stone steps at the door, covered in blood, and his broken arm was still oozing blood, his face was pale, and his anger was like a gossamer.

Hu Zhennan was a little hesitant, Huihai's name was like thunder, he went to Zhenhai Temple last time to visit, but he didn't see the real person, so he didn't know whether this person was real or false, but he thought about it again, since he was a senior monk of Zhenhai Temple, he couldn't see death and not save him, as for the identity, he would slowly inquire about it in the future.

So he stretched out his hand to catch the Huihai vein gate and input a spiritual power.

With the passage of time, Hu Zhennan's face was difficult to see, Huihai's injuries were extremely serious, the meridians were broken, except for several elixirs that brought back the dead at that time, it was really difficult to treat, he sighed, reached out and connected a few fingers under Huihai's armpit, stopped the bleeding of the broken arm, and beckoned to Hu Yun again, and said, "Yun'er, come and help this master up." ”

Hu Yun agreed, walked over to hold Huihai's waist, lifted him up, only to hear a ding, and something fell from Huihai's arms.

Hu Yun picked it up casually and saw that it was a stone dagger, and was about to observe it carefully, Huihai snorted lightly, opened his eyes slightly, and saw Hu Yun holding a stone dagger in his hand, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he immediately opened his eyes and shouted: "Little thief, put down the Buddha's immortal killing blade." Swinging his palm at Hu Yun.

This sudden change was sudden, no one thought of it, only to see Hu Yun snort, fell to the ground on his back, fainted, and the stone dagger also fell at his feet.

Hui Hai slapped him, pulling the injury and fainting again.

"Brother Yun", "Young Master", "Young Master"

Hu Xue and the servant housekeeper all rushed to Hu Yun's side to check, Hu Zhennan was about to go over, but when he heard the three words "Immortal Killing Blade" shouted from Huikou, his feet were like nailed to the ground, motionless, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the stone dagger on the ground.

"Daddy, Brother Yun is bleeding. ”

"Daddy"

Hu Xue called a few times in a row, Hu Zhennan came back to his senses, hurriedly walked over, lowered his body and put the immortal killing blade into his arms, then checked Hu Yun's injury, and said absentmindedly: "It's okay, it's just a little internal, just a few days of rest, it's okay, it's no big deal." He added: "This monk is really hateful, Laifu, lock him up, and when he wakes up, I will inquire about his origin." ”

Laifu found a few more subordinates, carried Hu Yun back to the room, and locked Huihai in the firewood room. Hu Zhennan prescribed medicine to calm his nerves and heal his injuries, and told Hu Xue to take care of his younger brother, so he locked himself in the study and instructed his subordinates not to disturb him.

When Hu Yun woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. The sky was overcast, thunder was rolling, and the room was very dark. He turned his head slightly, and saw his sister Hu Xue lying on the side of the bed sleeping, it seemed that he should take care of himself all night.

Hu Yun's mother died when he was five years old, and from childhood to adulthood, whenever he was sick, his sister took care of her like this. Later, as he grew older, such opportunities became less and less. At this moment, the room was as warm as spring, the silence was abnormal, listening to the rolling thunder outside the window, Hu Yun had a warm current in his heart, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the beauty mole on Hu Xue's cheek.

Hu Xue's body trembled slightly, opened her eyes, and said happily: "Xiaoyun, you're awake, I'll pour you some water." After that, he was about to stand up, and suddenly found that Hu Yun was touching his face, and said with a smile: "You are not a child again, and you are so naughty." ”

It turned out that Hu Yun had been very curious about the beautiful moles on his sister Hu Xue's face since he was a child, and he always liked to touch them with his hands, but it was only when he grew up later that he restrained this intimate action.

Hu Yun retracted his hand in embarrassment, took the water that Hu Xue poured, took a sip, and said, "Sister, where is Daddy?"

"Daddy, I've been locked in my study all day, and I don't know what I'm doing. Hu Xue replied casually.

"Oh, by the way, sister, what about the old monk?" Hu Yun asked again.

"Hmph, that old monk is really hateful, I think eighty percent is pretending to be a senior monk of Zhenhai Temple. Just take a look at his stone dagger, and he will beat you, and we are not trying to rob him, such a wicked man should throw him out as soon as possible. ”

Hu Yun felt that there was something strange in it, pondered for a while, and said, "Sister, let's go see that old monk." ”

Hu Yun was startled, knowing his younger brother's character of retribution, he said hesitantly: "Xiaoyun, I just said casually, that old monk is seriously injured, but it is actually quite pitiful. You don't have to deal with him. ”

The sister and brother grew up together, Hu Yun knew that his sister was kind-hearted, but seeing her diametrically opposite attitude, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister, where do you want to go, I just think he won't beat me for no reason, I have to ask for clarification." Rest assured. ”

Hu Xue knew that she couldn't resist her younger brother, so she helped him up, put on his coat, opened the door and walked towards the firewood room.
