Chapter 31: Drunkenness
Listening to the old man's slightly ridiculous words, Ye Chen buried his head in embarrassment. Although he has always been against the old man, he is grateful to him from the heart.
"It's a big deal to go crazy, what happened to you before, how could you suddenly go crazy?" the old man held the silver needle and asked Ye Chen carefully.
"Maybe I'm too anxious! At that time, I wanted to realize kendo as soon as possible and get up early to get revenge, but as soon as I thought about revenge, I was thinking about what my mother looked like when I was separated, and then I fell into the water with a splitting headache, and then it was like this......"
"The hatred in your heart will be the biggest obstacle to your progress in the future. The most important thing about enlightenment is to empty everything, and hatred will only affect your judgment in the future. In the rivers and lakes, life and death are often between one move. If you are swayed by hatred, you will lose the most intuitive judgment of your opponent, and if you are equal to your opponent, this will be the biggest reason for your failure. ”
"You're right, but how can I forget this vengeance? The reason why I survived so secretly is that one day I can avenge this immortal vengeance. ”
Ye Chen's eyes clenched his fists fiercely, the muscles on his body twitched continuously, and traces of blood flowed out of the needles.
"Don't move...... The silver needle is pierced on your acupuncture point, don't use the liver fire, otherwise it will damage your muscles and veins......" The old man immediately stopped when he saw this.
"Enlightenment should not be rushed, take your time. You're not in a good state right now, so let's recuperate for two days and then continue when you're recovered!"
After the old man gave an order, he carefully checked the silver needles on Ye Chen's body again. After confirming that it was correct, he shook his head and walked out of the bamboo house.
Regarding Ye Chen's life experience, Huangfu Qingyun had already told him. With such a life experience, it is impossible for anyone not to take revenge, which is the minimum standard for being a son of man.
But the old man didn't want Ye Chen to take revenge, because he knew very well what Ye Chen would face if he wanted revenge. After the fall of the Ye family, no one in the martial arts stood up to support the Ye family, whether it was a decent or a cult, they all tacitly chose to forget about this matter, and all kinds of details in it will inevitably not make people suspicious.
After wandering outside for two hours, the old man returned to the bamboo house again and pulled out the silver needle for Ye Chen. Because he was afraid that Ye Chen would go crazy again, the old man had been accompanying him, chatting with him, and lived in a bamboo house for the first time.
The two chatted until late at night, from Ye Chen's childhood to the present, and finally to the origin of Sword Valley. The two of them were like grandchildren, talking and laughing until Ye Chen fell asleep.
Hearing Ye Chen's snoring, the old man got up and came to the door after covering him with the quilt. The night in the Sword Valley was quiet and peaceful, and it was the full moon, and the old man looked up at the moon and jumped to the top of the tallest tree next to the bamboo house.
In the middle of the night, there was a mist in the valley, and occasionally a cold wind swept by. The old man was not disturbed by these external factors in the slightest, and quietly looked at a snow-capped mountain behind Sword Valley.
"It's been thousands of years!Is it true that no one can pick up the ice demon again?I wonder if this kid can break this legend when he grows up?" the old man muttered to himself as he looked at the snowy mountains, remembering what his master had told him.
The next day, when Ye Chen woke up, he found the old man sitting at the door meditating, and he couldn't help but wet his eyes. He thought that the old man had been guarding him, and for his safety, he didn't even dare to sleep.
Thinking that the old man had silently paid so much for himself, Ye Chen secretly felt guilty, quietly got up and picked up a piece of clothing, and prepared to put it on the old man.
"Why do you think I'm asleep and want to please me?"
Just as Ye Chen was about to put on the old man, the old man's lack of a word suddenly startled Ye Chen.
"You didn't fall asleep, I saw that you had closed your eyes, I thought you had kept me all night!" Ye Chen came back to his senses and replied to him angrily.
"What do you mean, I have been guarding you all night, in case you go crazy again in the middle of the night, if I am not here to guard, can I let you plague the thousands of creatures in my Sword Valley?" the old man replied weakly.
"Aren't you sleepy if you don't sleep all night? What if you take a nap during the day and I get sick again?
"You don't have to worry about this, I can go without eating for ten days and half a month, and I can still go without sleep for ten days and half a month. If you don't relapse after staring at you for ten days, I will naturally go to rest. ”
"What? I haven't slept for more than ten days? It's weird enough to not eat for more than ten days, and if you don't sleep, are you still human?" Ye Chen exclaimed.
"All the fuss, the deeper this cultivation is, the less these substances are needed. You'll know when you reach the realm of transformation when you cultivate in the future. People don't just depend on whole grains to survive. The old man glanced at Ye Chen with disdain and said.
"My Sword Valley has been passed down for thousands of years, and there has never been a broken dynasty, and I have the most say in historical matters. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were immortals in this world, and the founder of my Sword Valley was one of them. It's just that for some reason, the immortals slowly disappeared, and there has never been a single one in later generations. ”
"Just because they don't show up doesn't mean they don't exist, perhaps, they are hiding somewhere, observing every move on the rivers and lakes. Ye Chen squinted his eyes when he heard this.
When the old man talked about immortals, Ye Chen immediately thought of the benefactor that Huangfu Qingyun said. After all, Huangfu Qingyun is also a person with advanced cultivation, and he agrees with that person's strength, even if that person is not an immortal, I am afraid that he is not far from an immortal.
"There is some truth in what you said, maybe those immortals disdain to let the world know about their existence, and are looking down on all beings in the world!" the old man nodded with interest.
"Hey, it doesn't matter what kind of immortal he is, even if he has immortals, he won't help me! Old man, can I continue cultivating today?" Ye Chen said.
Hearing this, the old man turned his head and stared at Ye Chen with a playful expression: "Cultivation? You want to be beautiful, you just went mad yesterday, and you want to continue today?" Let me tell you, you have to breathe for at least ten days, and you are not allowed to mobilize the slightest trace of true qi during this period, otherwise you may go mad again at any time, and the degree of madness is getting stronger and stronger every time, if you don't want to live, you just don't say it, just practice you." ”
"What? Ten days? So what am I going to do all this time? I can't stay in this house all the time, right?"
Ye Chen almost went crazy when he heard this, if he really let him stay here for ten days, he would go crazy first before he could go mad.
"Hehe......" the old man smiled.
"I didn't let you stay in the house for ten days, I just told you not to mobilize your true qi. There are some flower seeds under the bed in the room, you can try to plant some flowers in the past ten days, and you should cultivate your self-cultivation, which is also good for your body. ”
After listening to the old man's words, Ye Chen reluctantly returned to the house, and sure enough, he saw a bag of seeds wrapped under the bed. He held the seed in one hand and a broken stick in the other, complaining about the dirt around the house.
The old man did not leave after seeing him move, but jumped on the roof and watched him plant flowers carefully.
The old man commanded him to plant the plant for a while, and told him to fetch water. Before noon, Ye Chen was tired, and kept complaining again and again.
The old man's actions instantly wiped out the little good feeling that Ye Chen had just had. At this time, Ye Chen even regarded him as his enemy in his heart. Looking at the old man's smiling face, he wanted to rush to him and beat him up immediately.
In this way, Ye Chen was enslaved for ten whole days. Ten days later, just as Ye Chen was happily preparing to go to the Huxin Pavilion to cultivate, the old man stopped him with a wicked smile.
Seeing the old man's smiling face, Ye Chen knew that there must be no good thing, and sure enough, the old man called Ye Chen directly. Took him out of the Sword Valley and came to the market at the bottom of the mountain.
When he came to the market, the old man was like crazy, and kept buying sorghum corn, and bought more than 1,000 catties in less than a while. I just wanted to loot and buy a street of sorghum and corn.
Ye Chen knew that the old man had reached the realm of Bigu, so he naturally didn't need to eat these things, but he still couldn't figure out what the old man was buying so much for. He also asked the old man, but the old man always laughed it off, and was unwilling to confide in him.
Just as Ye Chen was guessing what he wanted to do, the old man finally revealed the purpose of bringing Ye Chen out.
Those simple peasants helped them transport these things down the mountain and left, and after they left, the old man stared at Ye Chen with a wicked smile, the meaning was self-evident.
"You don't want me to transport these up the mountain, do you?" Ye Chen said, pointing to a large pile of things.
"That's right, I just want you to be lucky, otherwise what did I bring you here for?" replied the old man as a matter of course.
"I won't do this! If you want to say that I can help you with a hundred or ten catties, you will treat me as a horse for more than a thousand catties! Besides, even a horse can't hump so many things!"
Ye Chen kept rejecting the old man, in his opinion, it was clear that the old man was cleaning him up, he didn't eat or drink, it was useless to take so much food.
"Don't pretend in front of me, if you are an ordinary person, then I will definitely not force you, old man. This thousand catties is not difficult for you at all, the true qi of your body. Don't say so much, even if you have another thousand catties, I believe you have a way to transport it back. ”
