Chapter 5: The protagonist's second physical examination
Early in the morning, Zu Li ran to the wooden house with a lunch box.
Chen Yunqiu, who was looking at the water by the river, heard Zu Li's greeting, turned around and smiled: "Yo, it's early." Uncle Chen is still sleeping, be quiet when you go in. ”
Hearing Chen Yunqiu's words, Zu Li slowed down, carefully pushed the door in, put the lunch box on the table, closed the door and retreated, and sat down next to Chen Yunqiu.
"Don't be too restrained, Uncle Chen is very easy-going. Seeing that Zu Li was so nervous, Chen Yunqiu smiled and comforted: "You see that I have only known Uncle Chen for a few days, and I am not very respectful to him, didn't he leave me alone?"
"Brother Qiu, are you Uncle Chen's apprentice?"
"No, he's my savior. ”
“...... But anyway, you don't want anything from him, do you? I want to be a teacher, so it's normal for me to be nervous. Zu Li was a little stunned when he heard this answer, but he still said what was in his heart.
"So your mother gave you permission to learn the sword?"
"Well, I begged for a long time yesterday before my mother agreed. In the morning, she asked me to bring some food for you and Uncle Chen, saying that you probably don't have time to cook. ”
"That's a tact, but we really don't have time to cook. Don't worry, after eating your meal, I will definitely help you say good things. While sighing that Zu Li's mother really knows how to take care of people's face, Chen Yunqiu stood up and walked towards the house.
"Brother Qiu, don't you want to learn swords?" Zu Li asked as he looked at Chen Yunqiu's back from behind.
Chen Yunqiu shook his head and replied: "I used to think about being a young hero who fights the sword world, but now I don't want to move, I still lie comfortably on the bed." ”
When I opened the lunch box, there were actually three dishes. Chen Yunqiu woke up Chen Jinzhi to prepare for dinner, the sun was shining outside the window, and it was another peaceful day.
"If you eat someone else's food, you have to do something for him. Are you going to take him as an apprentice?" asked Chen Yunqiu as he brought out the dishes and laid them out.
"Don't worry about it, you better think about yourself. Zu Li's qualifications are not bad, although they can't reach my level, but compared to you, it is the difference between heaven and earth. ”
"If you are willing to accept the apprentices, start the meal. ”
After eating, Chen Jinzhi left the bowl for Chen Yunqiu to wash, and said that he would use it to exercise the necessary skills for life, but Chen Yunqiu could only accept it. At this time, Zu Li had been by the river for a long time.
Chen Jinzhi walked over, called Zu Li up and asked him to put on a fist fight, and then instructed to adjust his posture.
"Hold on like this for a while, and when I'm satisfied, you'll be my founding disciple. Chen Jinzhi walked into the house with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to let Chen Yunqiu finish telling the story he told last night.
"Dishes washed?"
"After washing, when it is dry, I will put it in the lunch box for the little one to take home. Chen Yunqiu, who was lying on the bed in a daze, replied lazily.
"Isn't it boring?" Chen Jinzhi tried to stir up the conversation.
"Not boring. ”
"Then do you want to tell a story?" Chen Jinzhi decided to go straight to the point.
"What do you want to hear?" Chen Yunqiu accepted.
"For example, the story of slaying the dragon that I didn't finish last night, did Xiao Ming pull out the seven deadly sins?"
"I want to hear about the dragon clan, then okay," Chen Yunqiu was about to start magnifying his moves, "I said last night that Xiao Ming's senior sister Xiao Hong was pierced by the tail of the fire dragon, right?"
"Yes, and then Xiao Ming used his exclusive skills to save Xiao Hong. Chen Jinzhi was unaware.
Then Xiao Ming pulled out the smallest of the seven deadly sins, stabbed the fire dragon but the fire dragon did not die, and then was killed by the girl on the shore with a shot into the soul, and the dragon clan ended. ”
"Huh?" Chen Jinzhi was stunned, feeling that he was the one who was shot into the soul.
"Chen, Yun, Autumn!" he said word by word, he almost wanted to tear Chen Yunqiu apart, last night's story was so detailed and vivid, the plot was ups and downs, like a bowl of chef's carefully cooked dishes, and this morning it was so perfunctory, it was like a piece of excrement, who could bear this contrast?
"Calm and calm, let's discuss the next planning issues first," Chen Yunqiu tried to appease Chen Jinzhi, who seemed to have been fed a piece of excrement, "Are you going to take your ancestor out to travel next?"
"Yes, but it's not decided yet. Speaking of this, Chen Jinzhi calmed down, "Since the money I use to buy a salt shaker can make people jealous to vomit blood, it means that this money is still quite a lot, I will leave some money for you, and then ask Zuli's mother to take care of it, you should be able to live a good life." ”
"Sounds good, but I have another idea," this time Chen Yunqiu began to follow the temptation, "Anyway, you just want to come out to play, and I heard you say that there is nothing particularly fun in the city, so it is better to stay here and I will tell you a story." ”
"It's like the story that ended in just three words?" Chen Jinzhi was still haunted by the ending just now.
"No, no, no, you definitely won't agree to such a story, right?" I promise," Chen Yunqiu straightened the three fingers in the middle of his right hand and said to Chen Jinzhi: "The quality of the future stories will definitely be the same as last night's, and I have read a lot of books, enough for you to listen to for a year or two." ”
"Deal, but let's talk about it first, I don't accept the story of poor quality. Chen Jinzhi was instantly convinced, after all, listening to stories here every day with nothing to do is much more comfortable than practicing in retreat in the sect.
"And don't worry, I'll stay here for a few more months at most and then leave, and then I'll go wherever you want. ”
When Chen Jinzhi heard this, he asked a little strangely, "Huh, do you have anything to do while staying here?"
"Let's see how a story ends. Chen Yunqiu was a little unsure, and asked again, "Do you have monsters, ghosts, or anything like that here?"
"Of course there is, demons are animals that can cultivate, but the big demons that can turn into human forms are basically on the other side of the Broken Cloud Plateau. As for ghosts, they are souls that do not disperse after death. ”
"That should be right," Chen Yunqiu nodded, and asked again, "Can you see ghosts?"
"With the help of a sorcerer's talisman, the average person can't see it with his eyes alone. But after breaking through to the Immortal Realm, I could vaguely feel the presence of ghosts by relying on my qi. But since you asked, did you see something?"
"This river," Chen Yunqiu did not answer directly, but pointed out the window, "an old man drowned." He became a ghost, and because he couldn't worry about the old woman at home, he crawled out of the river every day and went home to take care of her. ”
"You're by the river every morning just to talk to him?" Chen Jinzhi's focus was a little strange.
"Hey, your ability to grasp details is a bit strong, but I can't say that I am talking to him, to be precise, I am listening to him. ”
"Your physique is indeed a little abnormal," Chen Jinzhi suddenly realized that something was wrong, "When you fell from the sky and hit me, I felt pain, but you didn't have anything, it stands to reason that my body should be much stronger than ordinary people, and it is impossible for you to be a delicate and weak child without being injured." You came over and let me take a closer look, I only paid attention to checking if you were injured last time, and I thought you were in good condition and I didn't care. ”
After some examination, Chen Jinzhi came to a conclusion: "You are not a normal person. ”
