Chapter 16 Huo Mansion
"Little brother, don't be too nervous, this tea is picked in the mountains where the aura of heaven and earth gathers, the tea leaves have a trace amount of heaven and earth aura, and you don't have a soul cultivation, so although it is normal for the body to have abnormalities, there is no need to be too nervous, it will not be a big problem for you. ”
Huo Lao took the tea again and drank it all, and only then did he relax when he heard this, it turned out that there was something strange in his body that was caused by this tea, but the boiling of the dantian made Xiao Chen feel the aura flowing in his body again, and he firmly believed that he must have started the soul cultivation, but he didn't know why he couldn't release the aura now.
"By the way, little brother, I haven't asked your name all the way to now. Huo Lao interrupted Xiao Chen's thoughts, and only then did Xiao Chen come to his senses and look at Huo Lao.
"My name is Xiao Chen, and my mother said that I have eyes like vast stars, so I was given this name" Xiao Chen said of his mother, and involuntarily began to worry about whether his mother was safe and sound now, and his thoughts made Xiao Chen feel sad, and he wanted to get stronger quickly to find his mother and Xiao Rui.
"What a good name. Huo Lao smiled slightly.
"Xiao Chen, what are your plans in the future?" Huo Lao thought to himself that it was time to take Xiao Chen's income as his apprentice, after all, his mantle had not yet been inherited, Xiao Chen's age and temperament were very consistent, and he was the most suitable candidate at the moment.
"I didn't think about it that much, I just want to get stronger and go to my mother and ......" Xiao Chen sighed, his eyes lost their luster and gradually dimmed, he really wanted to become stronger, but if he didn't have the right way to cultivate, no matter how much he did, it would be in vain.
"Oh, what's wrong with your mother?" Huo Lao saw that Xiao Chen had something on his mind, and felt that he had to untie this knot, otherwise it would definitely affect his cultivation in the future, and if he went mad because of this knot, it would be worth the loss.
"My mother, she was taken away...... Xiao Chen's eyes turned red, guilt sprouted in his heart, he held back his emotions and didn't let the tears fall in his eyes, and told everything that happened.
"It's just a loss of conscience!" After Xiaoqing listened to Xiao Chen's narration, the whole person was very angry and upset for Xiao Chen.
When Xiaoqing was a child, her parents were also killed by traitors, and she almost fell into the soul of a traitor, but fortunately, Huo Lao appeared in time to save her, and she was able to survive.
"It's also a poor child, hey, I'm afraid this world is going to get more and more chaotic......" Seeing that a twelve-year-old child was carrying so many things, Huo Lao couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Chen.
"That being the case, then Xiao Chen, are you willing to follow me to learn the exercises, and when you become stronger, you will go to your mother and sister. Huo Lao was even more determined to accept Xiao Chen as an apprentice, and the reason why Xiao Chen became stronger would make him work hard and become a great weapon in the future.
"I ......" Xiao Chen hesitated, it was not that he didn't want to worship Huo Lao as a teacher, he knew that Huo Lao could teach him things, and he also knew that Huo Lao's strength was not weak, but he was afraid that he would live up to the expectations of others again, after all, he had learned from the past, and he didn't have much confidence at this time.
"If you run away from your own failures, how can you become stronger, and if you don't change your mistakes, how can you talk about cultivation? What you lack is nothing more than the courage to face your mistakes. Huo Lao preached Xiao Chen like a teacher, he saw that Xiao Chen was still hesitating, and decided to wake him up so that he was realizing what he needed.
"Yes, isn't what I lack is courage, the courage to face mistakes, the courage to face the unknown!" Xiao Chen was awakened by Huo Lao's words, didn't he just make mistakes and only run away, blame others first, and never face up to his mistakes?
"Huo Lao, thank you, I, Xiao Chen, am willing to become your apprentice, and from now on, I will devote myself to cultivation and live up to your high expectations!" Xiao Chen immediately knelt down from the stool and kowtowed to Huo Lao.
"You don't have to do this much, get up quickly. Veteran Huo helped Xiao Chen up from the ground and patted the ashes on his body.
"Look, you've been like this all the way around, so you have to dress formally and worship Huo Lao as a teacher. Xiaoqing covered her mouth and laughed aloud.
Xiao Chen only reacted at this time, from all the way to Hui Lai City, the clothes on his body were already in tatters, and his face was also wrapped in a layer of dust, so he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, fortunately, Huo Lao was not confined to the subtleties, otherwise he would definitely be considered a beggar who asked for food.
Xiaoqing took Xiao Chen to the house to wash and change into a new set of clothes, and then found an empty house in the house for Xiao Chen to live in. Huo Lao said.
"Okay, Huo Lao. ”
Then Xiao Qing took Xiao Chen to a clearing as big as a courtyard, and there was nothing on the open space except for a bright room and some other martial arts equipment, which made Xiao Chen think that this Huo Lao was not an ordinary rich family, and even a vacant room was so big.
"Xiao Gongzi, this is the place where you will rest in the future, if you have anything in the future, you can ask Xiaohui to tell me about it. Xiaoqing's entire palm stretched out and pointed to a maid who seemed to be only about sixteen years old, with very neat facial features and clear eyebrows, which made people feel very comfortable.
"Okay, thank you, little young girl. Xiao Xuan thanked Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing smiled in return and left the courtyard where Xiao Chen lived.
"Hello Young Master Xiao, in the future, Young Master Xiao's daily life will be taken care of by Xiaohui. Xiao Hui bowed down respectfully and greeted Xiao Chen.
"No, no, no, Sister Xiaohui is serious, I'm just Huo Lao's disciple, you don't have to call me young master, just call me Xiaochen......" Xiao Chen was frightened by a young master, he couldn't afford such a noble title.
"Then how can it be done, this is related to the face of Huo Mansion, if it is called Xiaochen outside people will laugh, the old man's face will not be able to hang up" Xiaohui explained.
"Then call Xiao Gongzi, do you think this will work?"
"That'...... All right. ”
At noon, after Xiao Chen took care of everything inside and outside the house, he thought about going to the Huo Mansion to take a look around, wanting to see what was in the Huo Mansion, after all, if he wanted to live here for a long time, if he didn't even understand the terrain in the house, it would be a little unreasonable.
"Sister Xiaohui, can you take me around this mansion with me, I am not familiar with the mansion when I first came. Xiao Chen said.
"Naturally, it's okay, and that's what I'm supposed to do. After that, Xiao Hui took Xiao Chen and began to explain the internal structure of the Huo Mansion.
"Huo Mansion is divided into four directions: southeast, northwest, and northwest, the place where the prince lives is in the West Mansion, and the residence of the Lord is in the North Mansion. Xiao Hui explained, Xiao Chen nodded like a curious child.
