Chapter 4: The Father is Hidden from the Son
The people were all driven out, and only Tang Luo and Tang Sen were left in the wings, the small one sitting in the middle of the bed, and the big one sitting on the edge of the bed looking at each other, looking at each other in pairs.
No one spoke first, and the atmosphere was silent, but not awkward. Both are natural.
The reason for Tang Luo's silence is simple, because the number above his father's head has changed.
He clearly remembered that when he saw it the day before yesterday, the number above Townsen's head was 30045.5, and he saw it again today. It's already 30055.9, with an increase of 10.4.
In the past two days of recuperation, Tang Luo already had some guesses of his own about these numbers, and he was eager to verify them.
First of all:
This number is available to everyone, but the size of the number varies. For example, Aji, who just performed in front of him, is 74.6, while some other subordinates are mostly between 50-70.
My mother came to visit her for both days, but her numbers did not change in any way, the first time she saw it was 6130.7, and it is still the same today.
Because of his weak body, he was arranged to recuperate in the wing, so Tang Luo had no way to see the number of the mansion guards and the soldiers of the sect for the time being.
But he had some bold guesses about these numbers, and these values might be related to cultivation or vitality.
The only common denominator of these people with numbers below one hundred is that they have no talent for martial arts or missed the time to practice martial arts because they were lazy when they were young, and they are all ordinary people who are not in the mortal realm, and their values are low.
And Tang Sen is the first of the clan martial arts, and he can be said to be the strongest among his father's generation, so it is not surprising that the value is so high.
When her mother Xu Shuhui was chatting, she had inadvertently mentioned that she was also a well-known chivalrous girl back then, and she could call herself at least a martial artist in the mortal realm, and the difference between her and Tang Sen's values was nearly five times, Tang Luo couldn't think of anything other than cultivation that they could be so different.
Seeing Tang Sen's growth this time also secretly confirmed his guess, in addition to the fact that his cultivation will increase according to the length of his cultivation time, he really can't think of what these growing numbers can represent, could it be the length?
Another conjecture is that these numbers represent life force, because according to the strength of cultivation, a person's physique will undergo various forms of evolution, the most significant of which is the increase in lifespan and physical strength. It is also very reasonable to say that these numbers represent the vitality of a person.
There are many guesses, but experiments are hard to find, because Tang Luo can't see his own numbers.
He was sure that he must have these numbers, but he didn't notice them when his neck was sore, and he didn't show them in the mirror. This deprived Tang Luo of the best experimental sample.
Regarding the fact that he can see the numbers above other people's heads, he doesn't plan to publicize it for the time being, because his dantian is strange enough, but don't be pulled out to slice and study, I heard that many martial artists who are stuck in the bottleneck like to study the body of young people, which is very perverted. I have to protect myself.
Although he looked silent, if you didn't interrupt these thoughts, Tang Luo could be in a daze for a day.
"Roel. After all, it was the first seat of the martial hall, and Tang Sen still spoke first, his voice was still low, but it was no longer as majestic as when he entered the door.
The voice interrupted Tang Luo's thoughts, and the kid realized that Tang Sen had been sitting on the edge of the bed for a while.
"I'm sorry, father. I'm thinking about something. Tang Luo is a little sorry, but like most fathers and sons, the communication between the two always seems to be estranged and polite.
As a silent father, Tang Sen is not very good at taking the initiative to chat with his son and daughter, and most of the time, these communication tasks are done by Xu Shuhui.
The conversation between the two at such a distance is rarely in memory.
Each such conversation meant that Townsend had something important to look for him, the last time he was about four years old.
I asked for a martial arts foundation, and my father's repeated confirmation and instructions.
What's it this time?
"This was found in your bed that day when you passed out, remember to put it away. Townsend pulled out an object from his bosom, a black metal ball, with inscriptions in more than any language on the surface, horizontal and vertical.
"Isn't this the star core in Lao Tzu's dantian, why is it in my father's hands, could it be that I can really take out the star core in my dantian? When Tang Luo saw this thing, his eyes were about to pop out in surprise, this expression had never been seen in more than ten years, he was really stunned. I couldn't control the muscles on my face anymore, and my face was very stiff.
Tang Sen looked at his shocked face and sighed in his heart, feeling that he had understood everything.
His own son was not a genius, and Townsend knew it from the beginning. The thirteen-year-old Mortal Realm listened to bluffing, but in fact, it was nothing in Tang Sen's eyes, Tang Luo asked for a martial arts foundation at the age of four, and it took five years to start cultivating the exercises after the foundation was completed, and the progress of martial arts was only so-so.
This kind of qualification and cultivation speed doesn't look like the level that a genius should have, to put it mildly, a middle-aged person is barely there, but when he enters the mortal realm, he suddenly undergoes earth-shaking changes, one year to the peak of the mortal realm, two years to complete the accumulation and break into the mortal in one fell swoop, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a heavenly pride.
The contrast between the front and back is so big, how can people not be suspicious, the son should have had some kind of adventure. The most father, I am really happy for him, after all, who doesn't want their children to become dragons and phoenixes.
Therefore, as one of the stewards of the martial arts hall at that time, Tang Sen sealed all of Tang Luo's cultivation information, even if he went to the sect to access the information, Tang Luo's cultivation time data was not available. This is also a kind of protection of the father for the child.
But after the battle with Wusheng Mountain, Tang Luo fell from the mortal realm to the mortal realm, although Tang Sen didn't say anything, he sighed in his heart.
Tang Sen began to suspect that there was something wrong with Tang Luo's adventure, and he was able to judge the cultivation speed of the two of them before and after, it was nothing more than exercises and some strange cultivation assistance, such as Dao seeds, spiritual weapons, and even some soul vessels. Based on the information channels of the Tang Clan, Tang Sen actually knew a lot of unknown secrets, most of which flowed out after the collapse of some once-powerful sects.
Most of the opportunities that many people encounter, the treasures in the dungeon, the exercises in the crypts, and the treasures in the ruins are all designed by the sect. The purpose is also very simple, these adventures, such as exercises, are mostly wedding exercises.
The so-called wedding dress exercise is the method that was created to support the superior exercises, and most of the effects are to make up for some of the shortcomings of the superior exercises, and the cultivators of the wedding clothes exercises meet the people who practice the superior exercises, as long as the realm is comparable, there is no possibility of sparing the duel between the two.
And because the exercises themselves have a back door, as long as the disciples who practice the superior exercises follow the steps, they can absorb the martial arts of the cultivators of the wedding dress exercises for their own use, although they cannot completely absorb it, even if it is only a few percent of the benefits, it is a huge benefit for a martial artist of the same realm.
The sect didn't want one of its own disciples to be just to make a wedding dress for another disciple, so it would repeatedly arrange such adventures for those wandering martial artists to compete for, and most of these secondary exercises were renamed and surnamed.
And with the knowledge of wandering warriors, they can't see what is wrong with these exercises, so they practice stupidly, and they have worked hard for ten years to reach the peak of transformation, and they are eaten clean by others, and they end up in a wedding dress.
There are more hands and feet in all kinds of spiritual weapons, and the methods are vicious, but most of them are for the essence of Shouyuan, and most of the arrangers are masters of cultivating magic skills, but because they are artifacts, it is very easy to detect whether there are hands and feet.
If Tang Luo's adventure was such a type of magic weapon, then it would not be strange at all to be sucked dry and cultivated.
Because Tang Luo practiced the family heirloom Tongtian Technique, and there was no problem with the exercises, Tang Sen judged that he must have encountered a vicious magic weapon.
From the very beginning, he had been paying attention to Tang Luo's cultivation, but he had found nothing. It wasn't until a few days ago that Tang Luo was in a coma and lost all his cultivation in bed, and this iron ball appeared in his arms. The magic weapon has finally appeared, and the next thing is to see who sets such a vicious trap.
Tang Sen thought that he had found the main master, but after two days of research, this iron ball did not have any backhand, although he didn't know what the magic was, but there was absolutely no damage to the body and cultivation.
In this way, only the worst situation is left, Tang Luo's cultivation has nothing to do with the exercises and adventures, it should be like what Buxiao said, Tang Luo may be a special leakage.
Looking at his son's face in disbelief, Tang Sen was also a little sorry, the young man's little secret was broken, most of them looked so frightened, but he didn't blame him.
In fact, children should not have this kind of panic in the face of their parents because the secret is broken, because the love of parents for their children has always been giving, not coveting and taking, at least not in this family.
Placing the iron ball beside the bed, Townsend stood up and prepared to leave, without saying a word.
Even if Tang Luo's cultivation is completely lost now, and he can't even cultivate in the future, his opportunity is his adventure, and it's good to keep a souvenir.
I have to say that Tang Sen is still very thoughtful, but some parts have been misunderstood because of the asymmetry of intelligence.
The reason why Tang Luo's expression was sluggish and confused now was not that some little secret had been broken or something, but that he had fallen into a kind of chaotic thinking.
How did this core come out of my body?
So what has become of my dantian?
It's such a big one, could it be that I have had such a big stone in my stomach since I was a child. Oh no, knotted iron?
After the star core comes out, can I still cultivate?
Will the spiritual power I cultivate in the future disappear?
Can this physical core still be used as an accelerator?
Has there been any change in the fact that this core has become an entity?
Too many speculations gathered together, making Tang Luo's mind go blank in an instant, so even the shock on his face didn't have time to regain his composure. But Tang Sen's rise still attracted Tang Luo's attention.
Seeing that his father had already walked to the door, Tang Luo hurriedly stopped Tang Sen.
"Father. ”
Townsend turned his head, his gaze calm.
"Well, thank you in advance. ”
Whether it was because he was the first to arrive after his accident or because he put down the star core without saying a word, this thank you Tang Luo should say that the last time he woke up, he just saw each other, and his father left without even saying a word, this time it can't be like this.
Tang Sen nodded, for him, no matter what he paid, as long as the family thanked him enough, he responded: "Well, your body is almost the same, you don't need to be stuffy in the room, go out and walk around more." ”
Is it finally time to go out!
Tang Luo was overjoyed, to be honest, he was really suffocated in the past two days, especially after seeing the numbers, not being able to go out means that there are too many speculations that can't be confirmed, if it weren't for the fact that his arm couldn't twist Xu Shuhui's thigh, he would have slipped out a long time ago.
There's one more thing.
"Can I resume my cultivation?" Tang Luo didn't actually know what was wrong with his body, because he hadn't even seen the doctor's face.
But since he woke up, his mother forbade him to practice martial arts again, thinking that it should be because of physical problems, since his body has recovered enough to move around, cultivation should be put on the agenda, because there are many, many conjectures waiting for him to verify, not to mention how to reach the peak of people without cultivation in this continent where the strong are respected.
But Tang Luo's words did have another meaning in Tang Sen's ears.
Xu Shuhui's prohibition of Tang Luo's cultivation was not temporary, the doctor said that the child was just out of strength, his body was weak, and there was no other problem. She said this only because she remembered Bu Xiao's words again, Tang Luo was a special congenital leaky body.
The special reason may be that Tang Luo can cultivate to the mortal realm at most in this life, and then he will lose his cultivation. It's like a wooden barrel with a hole, and when it reaches a certain water level, it starts to leak.
Of course, it's okay to continue cultivating, but instead of cultivating again and again and losing again and again, and experiencing such great pain, it is better to give him an excuse to give up martial arts.
"Look, my mother won't let me cultivate. Not my own will. Xu Shuhui didn't want the child to be so miserable and was willing to be this excuse.
Thinking about it, with Tang Luo's cleverness, he will also take advantage of the trend.
This idea was discussed with Tang Sen, although as a martial artist, Tang Sen didn't want his Tang Luo to become a weak person who made excuses in trouble, but he didn't want to see his efforts go to waste again and again, so he could only reluctantly agree to her proposal.
But in my heart, I still hope that Tang Luo will choose another more manly path, and I am very relieved to hear him ask so energetically.
Maybe Tang Luo is really congenital leakage, maybe he can only cultivate to the point of metamorphosis in this life.
But as long as Tang Luo doesn't give up martial arts, there is no possibility of miracles happening in the future.
The real weak are those who give up on themselves because of temporary difficulties.
It seems that the thirteen-year-old Tang Luo already has a real strong mentality.
But this road is not smooth, how long can the child persevere?
"Are you ready? Townsend asked earnestly.
Tang Luo was stunned, with a black question mark on his face.
I practiced martial arts at the age of four, and I've been practicing for almost ten years now, so there's nothing to prepare for.
But seeing that Tang Sen asked so seriously, he still replied in a daze: "Eh. . . You ready. ”
Tang Sen nodded and left satisfied, his back looking high-spirited.
