Chapter 7: Dragon Scales
"What do you have to tell me? Do you still tell me to throw away my sword? I really don't understand sometimes, why do you look at me so strictly? Aoxue, you won't let me go out when they go out, and now you want me to throw away even a sword, what are you afraid of?"
Ye Chen complained angrily, telling the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Jiang Yingyue sighed softly when she saw Ye Chen say this. She didn't want anything to happen to Ye Chen in her heart, so she did everything possible to prevent him from leaving here. She never told him about Ye Chen's life experience, but when Ye Chen asked, she told him that his father was an ordinary villager who died of famine.
The reason why she didn't dare to tell him his true identity was that she was afraid that Ye Chen would be angry and lose her life in vain after she found out. After all, back then, the Ye family could be said to be the enemy of the world. If you want to take revenge, it is almost equivalent to being the enemy of the entire martial arts, and there is no hope at all.
Now that Ye Chen is so resistant to himself, Jiang Yingyue is afraid that things will be reversed, causing Ye Chen to quietly leave the village. After thinking about it, she still decided to tell Ye Chen his true life experience.
"Chen'er, don't blame your mother for being too restrained by you, the reason why I did this is completely for your good!"
"It's good for me, isn't it? A manly man, how can he be in the village all day long?" Ye Chen said.
"It's true that a manly husband stays in the village all day, but if you leave here, I'm afraid your life will be in danger!" Jiang Yingyue said.
Ye Chen smiled contemptuously when he heard this, "Heh...... I have no enemies, and I can't offend anyone, so who wants to put me to death?"
"We have enemies......? I didn't tell you. ”
"It is true that our mother and son fled here, but it was not caused by famine. There was no famine out there at all, and we weren't ordinary people. Jiang Yingyue said softly.
"What do you mean?" Ye Chen suddenly rolled up from the bed when he heard this, and stared at Jiang Yingyue tightly with a frown, wanting to see if she had lied to herself.
Jiang Yingyue looked at Ye Chen with a sad face, and continued to say lightly: "Your father's name is Ye Qian, and your grandfather's name is Ye Ting. Our Ye family is a great family in martial arts, and it is not inferior to those sects. The reason why you and I fled here is only for a scale. ”
"Scales?" Ye Chen frowned, he really didn't understand, if it was really as his mother said, how could a single scale make a great family decay in an instant.
"It's scales, but it's not ordinary scales, according to legend, it is the scales left by the dragon in ancient times, a total of seven pieces, seven colors, according to legend, the dragon scales contain the secret of becoming an immortal, thousands of years of people have been fighting for it countless deaths and injuries, all in order to explore the secret of becoming an immortal. ”
"Twenty years ago, when you were born, your father stumbled upon a piece of it in a secret cave. In the end, the news leaked, in a dark night, countless people took advantage of the night to kill into the Ye family's compound, in order to protect you, your father desperately fought a bloody way, let me and you leave the Ye family safely, and he and the Ye family, but ......"
When Jiang Yingyue said this, tears couldn't help but flow down her eyes, and in her mind, she always remembered the man covered in blood, who waved at her with a smile after saying goodbye.
When Ye Chen heard this, he had already clenched his fists tightly. Seeing Jiang Yingyue so sad, he stepped forward and slowly helped her to the bed. While comforting, he wiped her tears.
"You know now why I didn't let you out, do you? I've lost your father, and I can't lose you anymore. Jiang Yingyue choked up.
"I understand your feelings, mother, but is this blood feud just like that?" Ye Chen said angrily.
"Revenge? You better forget it! Back then, many sects of the entire martial arts may have been involved. Revenge is to be the enemy of martial arts, for your safety, this revenge is not revenge. ”
Jiang Yingyue sobbed innocently, and Ye Chen comforted and appeased her on the side.
The old man was lying on the roof, and it was not a pleasure to see this scene, a woman was forced to this field, which was indeed a little heart-wrenching.
Although he had guessed the true identity of Jiang Yingyue's mother and son, and had thought that they were from the Ye family, what he didn't expect was that Ye Chen was Ye Ting's grandson, and he never imagined that the Ye family would end up in such a field.
Thirty years ago, before he came here, the Ye family was so powerful, he was only in his early thirties at that time, so he naturally had seen Ye Ting, and at that time, Ye Ting's father had a profound cultivation, which was not much better than the martial arts supreme at that time. And Ye Ting is upright, and his cultivation is okay. If he hadn't heard Jiang Yingyue confide in his heart, he would never have thought that the Ye family had already declined.
The old man listened carefully on the rooftop, although he was a little indignant, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do, through the gap. He saw Jiang Yingyue take out a plain gray cloth from his arms, as if he was wrapped in something.
When Jiang Yingyue slowly opened, his eyes widened all of a sudden. As Jiang Yingyue slowly opened the gray cloth, a burst of red light suddenly revealed from the gray cloth, illuminating the entire room.
"I knew that Ye Ting would definitely give you the dragon scales at the moment of crisis and let you bring them out. ”
The old man stared closely at the dragon scales in Jiang Yingyue's hand, watching her hand it over to Ye Chen.
Seeing the dragon scales, he immediately understood why Jiang Yingyue was so hidden, so that he only told Ye Chen about his background now. I also understood why the people from the Shura Hall suddenly came after thirty years. All of this is for the sake of dragon scales.
In the room, Ye Chen was carefully studying with dragon scales. This palm-sized dragon scale, except for the red and red light, is like an enlarged version of fish scales, and he really can't see anything special.
"This is the dragon scales, I really don't see the secret of what it helps to become an immortal. Ye Chen raised his head and asked.
Jiang Yingyue shook her head when she heard this, and said, "I don't know either." It's just that when I first got it, I heard your grandfather mention it. The colorful dragon scales contain endless true qi, and if you use manpower to absorb the true qi inside, it will make people reborn and turn into immortals, immortal. ”
"This dragon scale caused the Ye family to be destroyed overnight, and it is an ominous thing. I didn't want to keep it, but it was handed over to me by your grandfather himself, and it was the only thing left by the Ye family at present, and I couldn't throw it away. Now I'll give it to you for safekeeping. Remember not to let anyone know that it is in your hands, otherwise the consequences will be serious. ”
"I see, I'll take care of it. Ye Chen nodded, wrapped it in cloth again, and put it under the pillow.
"Now that you know your background, do you still want to go out?" Jiang Yingyue asked with a squint.
"I'll go out, but not now, one day, I'll make all those who caused the destruction of my Ye family pay. ”
Ye Chen clenched his fists, his nails deeply embedded in the flesh, and a trace of blood flowed out.
He is now extremely hungry for strength, and in order to take revenge, he can now do whatever it takes. If he studied martial arts before to fight the sword rivers and lakes, then he is only learning martial arts now to avenge the revenge of the clan.
"Don't you understand? I don't want anything to happen to you!"
Jiang Yingyue was extremely worried when she saw this, she told Ye Chen about her life experience, just to let him understand that there were many people outside who were eyeing him. Unexpectedly, he was even more determined when he knew it now.
"Don't worry, mother, I'll pay attention, I'm not completely sure, I won't reveal my identity when I go out. Ye Chen said soothingly.
The two talked for a while, and Ye Chen finally sent Jiang Yingyue back to her room. When he returned, he picked up the sword on his bed and practiced alone in his room. He didn't want to delay for a moment now, he just wanted to improve his strength quickly.
When Ye Chen was practicing swords. The old man also slipped away quietly. He already knew what he wanted to know, and it wouldn't be interesting to read any further. He was not interested in dragon scales at all, now that he was sixty or seventy years old, he had already seen through everything, and he was not so interested in life and death.
The night passed like this, and early the next morning, Ye Chen got up and ran around the village. He has to train his body and keep himself at the top of his game so that he can keep improving.
Regarding Ye Chen's abnormal behavior, Jiang Yingyue didn't pay too much attention to it. To her, Ye Chen is smart and knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
In her opinion, Ye Chen didn't know how to cultivate at all, so she didn't pay attention to what Ye Chen said about revenge.
Ye Chen ran around the village and then went straight to the old elm tree.
Although he already knew about Ye Chen's life experience, seeing that Ye Chen was angry in his heart, he still had to act like he didn't know.
Ye Chen stared at him for a while, and without saying a word, he directly pulled him away. In the village, for fear that others would find out, he kept staggering to follow Ye Chen, pretending to be weak.
When he arrived outside the village, he suddenly shook off Ye Chen's hand and pretended to have an angry expression.
"Old man, from today onwards, you have to teach me again, you have to teach me well, teach me all your skills in pressing the bottom of the box. Ye Chen said.
The old man shook his hand when he heard this, pointed at him and said, "You hairy boy, I have taught whatever you can and what you can." That's how I came back in the first place. If you want to become great, you have to rely on yourself, didn't I say it! You have to rely on yourself to understand your own kendo. ”
