Volume 1: The Horns Chapter 4: The Family That Needs to Be Guarded
Work hard to become stronger, in order to protect the person you want to protectββββ young Wang Mo
"Grandpa, Grandpa Lin, Xiaobai and I are back," Wang Mo shouted at the two old men who were drinking tea under a big tree at the entrance of the Spirit Hall.
The reply was called Grandpa Lin, and he was lying leisurely in the wooden rocking chair.
"The granddaughter is back, come and come, help grandpa beat his back. β
It was Lin Baiyi's grandfather who spoke, the old owner of the Aoki Spirit Pavilion, and Lin Qingya, the master of the wood system, although he was shouting Lin Baiyi, his eyes were indeed staring at the one next to him.
Next to him was an old man who looked to be in his sixties, the old man was lying on a stone chair, his body was slightly thin, his age seemed a little dry, and although the flesh on his body was flabby, he looked particularly powerful, looking at Wang Mo and Lin Baiyi with a kind face.
When Lin Baiyi heard her grandfather call her, she immediately ran behind her grandfather and raised her pink little fist to beat him on the shoulder.
The old hall owner Lin immediately had a satisfied and enjoyable face, and smiled at the side: "See, old stone, my granddaughter is good, you see how filial piety is." β
Wang Mo's grandfather is called Wang Shi, the old owner of the Huangshi Spirit Pavilion, his actual age is more than eighty years old, and now the Huangshi Spirit Pavilion has long been passed on to his son, who is Wang Mo's father, and he doesn't take care of things very much, he usually likes to drink tea and chat with the old hall owner Lin, and of course, there are fights.
Old Man Wang didn't say anything to him, but said to Lin Baiyi: "Girl, you can't just care about your wooden grandfather, no one will ask me, an old man." β
Lin Baiyi, who listened to his words, immediately blushed, she was smart, ran to the middle of the two reclining chairs and stretched out her hands, one hand to help the other with a hammer.
Wang Mo walked over at this time and said, "Old man, tomorrow Xiaobai and I are going to participate in the Spirit Enlightenment Ceremony. β
Old Man Wang looked up at Wang Mo's immature face with an expectant expression and said: "A few days ago, your father took your senior brother and third senior brother out of the city to hunt spirit beasts, and they may not be able to come back in the next few days.
"Go ahead, you are stronger than me, and you are the honorary elder of the Lingtan City Grandmaster Association, you can talk about anything that happens, besides, is it time for the second grandson of the old man Huo to be enlightened tomorrow, I am afraid that I will not deal with him." I'd better stay and sit down. Lin Qingya changed from lying down to half-sitting, and commanded his granddaughter to pinch his shoulder.
After hearing this, Old Man Wang began to be a little indignant: "How can there be so many reasons, I think you just want to be lazy, Xiaomo, I'll accompany you tomorrow"
The old fire head said by the old hall master Lin is the owner of a nearby fire spirit hall, and the two have had several conflicts before, although the same real grandmaster's intermediate strength, the old man Huo is slightly higher than Lin Qingya by virtue of his attribute suppression, and later the old man Wang in the later stage of the grandmaster came forward to reconcile, and the scene eased down, which is also the reason why the old man Lin Qingya and Grandpa Wang Mo have a friendship.
The old man has two grandsons, the eldest grandson is almost fifteen years old, called Sun Huo, a senior spirit master, is not in Lingtan City now, he went to the intermediate spirit school in front, I heard that he is about to graduate from the intermediate college, and the younger grandson is called Sun Yan, and he is now 8 years old, the same age as Wang Mo, but the two are in different classes. Lin Qingya's son and daughter-in-law died early, Bai Yi is too young and a girl, compared to the old man, Lin Qingya's old man often feels that there is no successor.
"My son is back, call my grandfather and the owner of the Lin Pavilion and have dinner," a slightly joyful voice came from inside the house.
This is the voice of Wang Mo's mother Li Rou, Li Rou was born in a small family in the spirit world, the old man was injured and hid in the spirit world during the third beast tide, met Wang Mo's grandmother, and returned to the city of hope to resist the beast tide after giving birth to his father, Wang Mo's father and his mother grew up together in the spirit world, and later the outside world stabilized after the beast tide ended, Wang Mo's mother accompanied his father to resolutely leave the spirit family, and only after running outside did Wang Mo have.
"Mom, come right away" Wang Moke knew his mother's temper, obviously he was a great spirit master with a water attribute, and he was more like a fire-based when he was angry.
But I really love myself.
In front of the Spirit Hall is a three-story small building, the first floor is for office, the second floor is for eating, the third floor is where Wang Mo's family lives, and in the middle of the Spirit Hall is a large open space and an egg-shaped spiritual skill cultivation room. Behind it is the cadet quarters. The spirit hall is not only to teach spirit skills, but also to teach students to charge tuition fees that cannot support the expenses at all, and the owner of the hall will often lead the students directly under him to go out of the city to hunt spirit beasts, even if it is to hone the strength of the students, and to increase income to keep the spirit hall running normally. The hall is like a big family.
Ordinary students have special personnel in charge of their meals, and the meals of the direct students are all made by Wang Mo's mother herself, these students have been studying in the Spirit Hall for several years, and as cultivators, their food requirements are still relatively high.
Like today, everyone's food expenses add up to close to 10 spirit points, and the tuition fee of an ordinary student is 100 spirit points a year, as for the direct students, they pay 300 spirit points a year symbolically, and there is income when they go out of the city to hunt spirit beasts, and these incomes belong to their personal own.
The first-order spirit beast on the road is only worth ten spirit points, the second-order one hundred spirit points, and ten thousand spirit points can be exchanged for one spirit bi, and the spirit bi stone is a kind of thing that seals the spiritual energy, which can be directly absorbed by spiritual cultivation, and generally no one will exchange the spirit bi for spirit points.
Wang Mo's table are all people who are relatively close, the two old hall owners, Wang Mo's mother, Wang Mo, Lin Baiyi, a swarthy young man, a delicate girl, the young man is the second senior brother of the Spirit Pavilion, and the fourth girl is Wang Mo's fourth senior sister.
There was a table of more than a dozen children who were slightly older than Wang Mo next to him, they were ordinary students, although their eyes were fixed on the food, they all sat honestly.
"Okay, let's eat" Old Man Wang spoke, and everyone began to move their chopsticks.
"Black Iron, how are your Rock Shield and Ground Bamboo Shoot Thorn practiced?" the old man asked the swarthy young man. The Rock Shield and the Earth Bamboo Shoot Thorn are earth-derived spiritual skills taught by Old Man Wang, one attack and one defense.
"The rock shield has been basically mastered, and the release of bamboo shoot thorns is not very proficient, and the position and angle are not very accurate. The swarthy young man spoke sullenly, a little not very neat.
After listening to the young man's words, Old Man Wang was still quite satisfied, it still took a certain amount of time for these two derivative spiritual skills to be fully mastered, although this disciple was eighteen or nineteen years old, he was already relatively stable in doing things, which was very in line with his mind.
"Tomorrow Xiao Mo Lingqi, his father is not here, I will accompany him to the school, or you will guide the students to practice, if you have something to find you Grandpa Lin, I will guide you again when I come back, there is no other way to accurately grasp the bamboo shoot thorns, you need to practice a lot." β
The swarthy young man thanked the master with a sigh of gratitude.
Although Wang Mo's father is now the owner of the hall, these direct students are all worshipping under the old man's door, and the ordinary students next to him are his apprentices.
The age gap between the students is not big, and they still get along according to the same generation, and most of the direct students call Uncle Wang when they see Wang Mo's father. Wang Mo and the ordinary students are also called by senior brothers and sisters.
"Hey, Little Brother Mo is about to start the Spirit Enlightenment Ceremony, has he grown up, he must be a cultivator genius who is so well-behaved. β
It was the handsome girl who spoke, and after speaking, she reached out to touch Wang Mo's head next to her.
Wang Mo hurriedly dodged in the direction of Lin Baiyi on the other side, but the fourth senior sister's subordinates still didn't dodge, and his head was touched, which is also the action that the fourth senior sister likes to do since he was a child, and it is a manifestation of pampering Wang Mo. The second senior brother didn't speak, only echoed and laughed beside him.
"Like a phoenix, you have to work hard in your cultivation, you see that your two junior brothers can also go out of the city to hunt spirit beasts, and your senior brother is almost able to stand alone, just you and Hei Tie are still almost hot. "She and Hei Tie are also seventeen or eighteen years old, in the middle of the spirit master's stage, and have been practicing in the city for safety.
Wang Mo's fifth and sixth senior brothers all belonged to different spirit hunting teams, and they often followed the activities of their spirit hunting team, only occasionally coming back to repair.
The fourth senior sister was named, and her eyes glanced at the swarthy young man next to her and said, "I think my skills are okay, I am still stronger than black iron." β
The fourth senior sister's original name was Xu Fengjiao, ranked fourth, everyone called her Sifeng (like a phoenix), of course, this is called by the elders, if Wang Mo is called so, he is guaranteed to be beaten.
The old man also reminded her: "You, your strength is okay, and you still owe some experience, so let's wait for that stinky boy to come back, and next time you will follow him out for a long time." The stinky boy in the old man's mouth is naturally Wang Mo's father.
"Okay, okay, finally able to get out. β
The fourth senior sister obviously didn't care about the old man's words in front of her.
For this disciple, Old Man Wang just shook his head, it seems that this girl's memory will not last long if he doesn't suffer a little loss.
Wang Mo's mother sat opposite Wang Mo and kept picking vegetables for the two children, "I specially made this grass spirit mushroom stewed wild pheasant, you two eat more, eat more and grow faster." "One of the grass spirit mushrooms belongs to spiritual materials, and the other is a first-order spirit animal, and it was specially bought by the queen mother to replenish Wang Mo's body.
Wang Mo cooperated with a burst of eating and chewing, he was hungry, as for his mother's dishes, the taste was really good.
Wang Mo's mother is also very satisfied with Wang Mo's cooperative attitude.
Compared with Wang Mo's eating appearance, Lin Baiyi ate much more elegantly, and at this time, Lin Qingya, who had eaten almost the same, spoke: "Xiao Mo'er, go back and send me and Bai Yi back, it just so happens that the old man I have something I want to tell you" Wang Mo looked up at Grandpa Lin suspiciously, and then looked at his grandfather. Old Man Wang probably understood something, and nodded at Wang Mo in agreement.
Wang Mo was a little puzzled, usually Grandpa Lin didn't let him send it, but seeing that Grandpa agreed, he naturally had no opinion.
Bowed his head and quickly took a few bites of rice and got up to say that he had eaten, and when he saw Wang Mo get up, the old pavilion owner Lin also said goodbye, and when he took Wang Mo and Lin Baiyi away, he also said to the old man Wang, "You have a good grandson!" There was a slight desolate sigh in his voice.
Several people at the same table didn't hear the charm, Wang Mo's mother was simply praising her son, of course Old Man Wang understood his taste, and Lin Baiyi, who was following behind, frowned slightly when he heard this, and the hand beside him silently clenched his fists.
At the entrance of the Qingya Spirit Pavilion not far from Wang Mo's Spirit Hall, Old Man Lin asked his granddaughter to go back first.
An old man and a young man stopped at the entrance for a long time, Wang Mo just stood aside, he was puzzled by Grandpa Lin's performance today, seeing that the sky was starting to darken, Lin Qingya said: "Xiao Mo'er, do you wonder that the old man is a little abnormal today? Tomorrow you will be enlightened, whether you can practice depends on tomorrow, Bai Yi is my only relative, although she is weak on the surface but extremely strong in her heart, she always thinks that becoming stronger can help me share one or two, my heart is so tense that sooner or later there will be problems, in case she has bad qualifications or cannot practice tomorrow, I am afraid that she will not be able to think about it." β
Wang Mo was a little stunned by Grandpa Lin's call, and said slowly: "Grandpa Lin, don't worry, Xiaobai grew up with me, I treat her as my own sister, she is my family, don't worry, I believe Xiaobai will definitely be able to practice! Even if she can't practice, I will do my best to protect her." β
After listening to Wang Mo's words, Lin Qingya couldn't help but feel very relieved, and sighed: "Good, good, good."
When Wang Mo came back, it was almost dark, looking at the grandfather drinking tea at the door, the mother who was packing up things, the father who was hunting outside, the fourth senior sister who reprimanded the students and the second senior brother who smiled bitterly next to him.
I can't help but sigh in my heart, these are all family members who need to be guarded by themselves!
