Chapter 2: The Dragon's Elephant Moves the Mountain
Dujiazhuang is a larger village at the foot of the eastern foot of Shenniu Mountain, the whole Zhuangzi is composed of the Du family, more than 200 households, all of them are members of the Du family, Du Lin's father Du Youcai is the patriarch of the Du family and the owner of the village, Ji Xiaofan is one of the few people with foreign surnames on the village, and the people with foreign surnames live at the foot of the mountain on the periphery of Zhuangzi.
Ji Xiaofan returned to the door of his house, and looked at the empty courtyard and the three simple earthen houses, and his father didn't seem to be at home.
Ji Xiaofan breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly slipped back to his room, put down the medicine basket, and just sat down.
"Little bunny, are you fighting with someone else again?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded, which frightened Xiao Fan and quickly stood up.
In the room, a hunchbacked old man of about sixty years walked in, with a dark complexion, a wrinkled face, gray eyebrows and hair, dressed in a white-washed coarse cloth shirt, the old man had a straight face, his eyes were shining, and the most interesting thing was that this old man was one-armed, missing his right arm!
It turned out that this person was Ji Xiaofan's father, but looking at the huge age difference between the two, it was not like father and son, but like grandson.
"Dad, I have always remembered your old man's teachings, how can I be that disobedient person, child, even if it is Durin's bastards who deliberately find fault, press step by step, bully me and insult me, I will endure it again and again, even if it is an accidental move, it is also legitimate self-defense, Daddy's son is not a person who causes trouble, of course, we are not a nest of people who are bullied, you say, Dad?"
Ji Xiaofan saw his father asking, and hurriedly reported to his father with a smile on his face, a pair of eyes rolled around his bones, looking at his father's face, and waiting for his father with a small idea.
"Hmph, every time there is a reason, what about the herbs I arranged for you to pick?" The old man obviously didn't believe what Xiao Fan said, but this kid's answer was neither soft nor hard, but it made the old man not reprimand for a while.
"Dad, all the herbs to be used today have been picked back" Xiao Fan hurriedly handed the medicine basket to Dad.
"Well, it's good that I didn't delay the business!"
The old man's face softened slightly, and he nodded.
Seeing that his father was not angry, Xiao Fan hurriedly asked the old man with a smile: "Dad, the children taught by your old man are definitely people who know what is important, how can they forget the business, but just now on the way back, I met a group of masters in a life-and-death duel, and his grandmother ...... Oops, those people flew away and hit the sky and the earth, it was terrible, but then they all killed ......"
As soon as he heard Xiao Fan's words, the old man stood up suddenly, his expression was awe-inspiring, he grabbed Xiao Fan's shoulder, and asked, "Where is the place of the fight?"
After Xiao Fan told his father the place, his father told Xiao Fan not to go out, and the old man, who had always been old and calm, turned around and ran out of the house.
Xiao Fan has not yet recovered from the horror of that group of people, and he doesn't care about his father's gaffe.
Half an hour later, Daddy walked back with a serious face.
When he came to Xiao Fan's room, after asking Xiao Fan about what he had seen, he instructed Xiao Fan not to talk about it to the outside world, and explained that once someone made a special trip to ask, he said that the distance was too far to see clearly, and he didn't know anything else.
"Daddy, are those dueling people immortals? They can actually fly in the air, my cultivation is thousands of times worse than them!"
Asking like this, the old man looked at Xiao Fan fixedly for a while, and snorted, "Immortals?
The old man looked disdainful, as if those people were not worth mentioning at all, and then sat down, motioned for Xiaofan to sit beside him, looked up at the window and was stunned for a while, and muttered: "It's been fourteen years, it's so slow, it's so fast!"
Xiao Fan looked at his father puzzled, he couldn't understand his father's feelings, and he didn't understand why his father said it so slowly and quickly.
"Xiaofan, you are a good boy, you have been very obedient to my wishes over the years, and it is not in vain that I have taken you in and recognized you as a righteous son, there are some things I have not told you all these years, no matter what, since you encountered this incident today, you also asked, I simply told you some things, you will no longer have doubts if you understand"
"The continent we live in is called Taixuanbu Continent, the area is very vast, ordinary people can not get out of this continent in their lives, Lingzhou has four ancient countries, namely Baosheng Country, Tianqi Kingdom, Luofu Kingdom, Heishui Country, Baosheng Country has the widest area and the strongest strength, Tianqi is second, Heishui is the weakest, and the place where we are is the land of Tianqi Country......"
Xiao Fan listened with a look of surprise, these were unheard of before.
"Tianqi has nine states, sixteen counties, one hundred and twenty mansions, and eight hundred cities, and the Shenniu Mountain Dujiazhuang where we live is just a small village and town under the jurisdiction of Mochizuki City, a small place that can no longer be small, how big and spectacular it is outside, it was ...... back then."
Speaking of this, the old man suddenly paused, sighed and shook his head, and continued, "Back then, the old man was so carefree in the world, hum, that year I offended the enemy and was hunted down, fled to Shenniu Mountain, heard the tiger roaring ape crying mixed with the baby's cry in the mountain col, and hurriedly went over to disperse the tiger wolf and rescued you in swaddling clothes, and then I took you to live incognito in this village, this time for 14 years!"
The old man's face was calm when he said this, but he still couldn't hide his shock in his heart.
This old man's original name was Yan Boguang, who was originally a profound cultivator in the territory of Baosheng Kingdom, who had been in Baosheng Country for more than 20 years, and was wanted and killed by the whole country ten years ago because of the accidental killing of Changle Hou's second son, and escaped all the way to the Shenniu Mountain boundary of Tianqi Country after being cut off an arm.
When he passed by the mountain col, he was shocked by the scene he saw, only to see a large group of wild wolves gathered between the mountain passes, a colorful tiger lying prone in the middle, and there was a month-old baby under the tiger sucking tiger milk, such a strange scene, that is the scene that the legendary saint was born, Yan Boguang was shocked and secretly said that this son must be extraordinary, and there will be good fortune after adoption.
So he quietly hid his body on the side, and when the tiger and wolf left to forage for food, he took the baby away.
Because the baby has a small jade pendant around his neck, engraved with the word "Ji", Yan Boguang named the baby Ji Xiaofan, and gave himself the pseudonym Ji Wuming, and Xiaofan is commensurate with father and son.
Yan Boguang had a wife in his early years, but later died of illness and had no children, so he went into the mountains to become a solitary monk.
After picking up Xiao Fan after more than ten years of getting along, the two have also established a deep relationship, Xiao Fan is not only handsome and cute, but also very smart and sensible, the more he grows up, the more clever he becomes, and he knows how to coax Yan Boguang to be happy, Yan Boguang now also enjoys this kind of family fun, and he also treats Xiao Fan as his own child in his heart.
Later, because Dujiazhuang was surrounded by mountains on three sides, the aura was sufficient, and there was not much traffic with the outside world, so he took Xiaofan to live in seclusion.
Usually go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs to refine some shoddy medicinal materials and sell them to the villagers, but they can also survive for the two of them.
"Rest assured, when the child grows up, he will definitely honor your old man, so as to repay his father's nurturing love for the child and let your old man enjoy his old age in peace!"
Ji Xiaofan knew that although the old man was not his own father, he really raised himself, although his father has always been strict with him, and the grace of nurturing is greater than heaven, Xiaofan is still full of gratitude and respect.
"Stinky boy, my father is only over sixty years old, and he still has a lot of years to live, what is it to enjoy his old age, you are cursing your father to report to the underworld early" The old man scolded Xiao Fan with a straight face, but there was a loving smile in his eyes.
"Daddy is angry, of course Daddy is a hundred years old, hey, Daddy, just now you said that those people are not worthy of being called immortals, then, what kind of people can be called immortals?" Xiao Fan saw the old man's displeasure, and quickly changed the topic.
"Hmph, immortals, that's the existence of the Nine Heavens and Nine Shadows of the Nine Heavens on the Sea of Nashan and the Sea, and the few people you are talking about are just ordinary disciples of the sect who have cultivated the Yuan Dao Exercises and opened the Lingtai."
Yan Boguang looked at Xiao Fan with a shocked face, and his heart was a little gloomy, when he hugged Xiao Fan back, Yan Boguang probed Xiao Fan's body with his divine thoughts, and found that Xiao Fan's Lingtai was sealed, sealed by a very strong secret technique, with Yan Boguang's ability, it couldn't be opened at all, the Lingtai was sealed, and Xiao Fan's physique was very weak, which meant that Xiao Fan's Yuan Dao was sealed all the way, and the hope of becoming a master of Yuan Dao in this life was extremely slim.
"Daddy, how do you know this, can you tell me about you?"
Listening and listening, Xiao Fan suddenly asked, Dad was stunned, looked out the window, and was stunned for a while.
"Well, now that you know what is going on and what is going on, let's tell you all about it...... Dad, I was originally a casual cultivator in Baosheng Kingdom, and I ...... back then," Yan Boguang then told Xiao Fan about his experience.
After hearing what happened to Yan Boguang, Xiao Fan had already gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, shouting that he wanted to avenge his father.
"Dad, since you are so powerful, you can teach the exercises to the children, and when the children learn it, they can also avenge you," Xiao Fan pulled Yan Boguang's clothes and begged with a hippie smile.
Yan Boguang looked at Xiao Fan, then shook his head, and said helplessly: "Child, it's not that Daddy doesn't teach you, it's that your spiritual platform is sealed by an unknown force, I have tried several times and can't solve it at all, and your cultivation of the Yuan Dao Exercises is full of suffering......"
"And you are different from ordinary people since childhood, your physique is very fragile, these ten years Dad has been studying how to enhance your physique, five years ago there was a way, so you will be steamed with more than a dozen kinds of herbs every day for two hours, now you have been steaming for five years, the long years of herbal steaming, has made a fundamental change in your physique, and now your flesh and blood meridians are super tough, and your strength is much greater than ordinary people. ”
"Although your cultivation of the Yuan Dao Technique has been blocked, but the body refining martial arts is also a way of cultivation, didn't I teach you the body refining technique "Dragon Elephant Moving Mountain Technique" three years ago, and now you have also cultivated to the third realm, this "Dragon Elephant Moving Mountain Technique" is not an ordinary exercise, but I got it from the treasure house of the Baosheng Kingdom Hou Ye Mansion back then, and it is a rare grandmaster-level martial arts technique."
"Dad, how powerful this exercise is, tell me about it!"
Yan Boguang raised his hand and gently tapped Xiaofan's brain, and continued.
