Chapter 14: Making Up a Master
Zhao Lan said a lot of things, and finally stopped Tong Chen.
Seeing that Zhao Lan's mother and son were making such a fuss because they couldn't refine the pill, Old Man Qian felt more and more guilty in his heart, and sighed again and again: "Lan'er, Xiaochen, it's all my fault, and it has affected you two ......"
Seeing that Tong Chen had been pacified, Zhao Lan walked to Old Man Qian's side again, held Old Man Qian's hand and said, "Master, don't say that, since you have been in poor health recently, then don't worry about the things in the medicine garden first, everything is with me!"
Old man Qian is already old, and he has been weak recently, which will make Zhao Lan feel more and more tired after standing in Zhao Lan's room for so long, Zhao Lan saw that Old Man Qian's face was getting worse and worse, and after a few words of comfort, she helped Old Man Qian back to the room.
After returning to the room, seeing that Tong Chen was still sitting on the chair without saying a word, Zhao Lan knew that Tong Chen's anger had not disappeared, she walked in front of Tong Chen, and was about to speak, but Tong Chen suddenly said: "Mother, why don't we just move out of Tong's house?"
Tong Chen's words were very abrupt, Zhao Lan didn't react for a while, and after a while, she was a little surprised: "Chen'er, for no reason, how can you say such a thing?"
"For no reason?" Tong Chen looked up at Zhao Lan: "Not to mention that Tong Ying called you over to lecture today, just say that for so many years, he has never recognized the matter of our mother, which is enough for us to leave the Tong family!"
"Chen'er!" Zhao Lan held her son's hand and said earnestly: "My mother knows that you feel sorry for me and fight for me, but now that you have grown up and have your own opinions, this makes your mother feel very happy, but this matter must not be mentioned again, even if... He is no longer good to our mother, but the Tong family is our home, how can we leave home if we don't agree with each other?"
Seeing Zhao Lan's resolute attitude, Tong Chen knew that unless there was some big change, Zhao Lan would never choose to walk out of the gate of Tong's house, which is not difficult to understand, for women like Zhao Lan, it is unimaginable to let them leave the environment where they have been growing up to live outside, the reason why Tong Chen asked this question was mainly to try what Zhao Lan's attitude was, and he didn't think that Zhao Lan could agree immediately.
"Mother, now Grandpa Qian can't open the furnace for alchemy, and the medicine garden can't regularly hand over the pills to the family, today Tong Ying can call you over to say a meal, it's hard to guarantee that in a few days he will call you over to say the second or third meal, you can bear this breath, I can't bear it as a son!"
Since Tong Chen was silent for a month and didn't speak, Zhao Lan felt that her son looked vaguely changed, but she couldn't figure out what kind of change it was for a while, after experiencing these things today, although Zhao Lan felt very sad in her heart, but seeing Tong Chen change her timid and fearful appearance in the past, and become so strong and assertive, she couldn't mention how happy she was, and even felt more sad because she was reprimanded by Tong Ying.
It is said that there is no mother in the world who does not love her son, but which mother would want her son to be cowardly and unassertive? Naturally, they all hope that their son can be a man who stands up to the sky, and he can let the mother rely on him at a critical time.
"Chen'er, your Grandpa Qian's current physical condition is indeed no longer suitable for opening a furnace for alchemy, so my mother is trying to practice the pill these days, no matter what, after all, my mother has been with your Grandpa Qian for more than 20 years, and she can't always do nothing, it's time to take a step forward!"
Hearing Zhao Lan's words, Tong Chen couldn't help but say: "Mother, how can alchemy be as easy as you think? Your cultivation itself is not high, but alchemy is an extremely energy-consuming thing, if you don't get it right, there will even be a situation where the furnace will be exploded, I think you should not take risks!"
Zhao Lan sighed softly, looked at Tong Chen, and said, "Then what do you say? We can't do nothing, right?"
Seeing Zhao Lan's worried appearance, Tong Chen's heart moved, he pondered his language, and then said: "Mother, in fact, I just have something I want to tell you, I met an alchemist when I went out to collect medicine this time, and the other party felt that he had a lot of fate with me, so he gave birth to the idea of accepting me as an apprentice, and I have officially worshipped him as a teacher outside!"
When Tong Chen's words fell, Zhao Lan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Chen'er, are you telling the truth?"
Tong Chen nodded.
Zhao Lan asked again: "What about your master and others, didn't you bring him back with you?"
"Mother!" Tong Chen said: "My master is not an ordinary alchemist, he told me that he went out this time mainly to have a good experience outside and improve his state of mind, so that he can refine a better pill as soon as possible, people like him will not be willing to get involved in human affairs, you don't want to see him, originally he didn't let me tell anyone about him taking me as an apprentice, I saw that you are now so anxious about Grandpa Qian's can't do alchemy, so I decided to tell you." ”
"That's it!" Hearing Tong Chen's words, Zhao Lan felt a little lost in her heart, originally she wanted to ask Tong Chen to call that person to come to Tong's house to help with alchemy, since Tong Chen said so, then her idea was obviously impossible to realize!
Seeing Zhao Lan's reaction in his eyes, Tong Chen followed closely and said: "Mother, I haven't finished talking yet! Although my master is reluctant to come forward, he has already promised me to teach me alchemy, he is now living in Yuquan City, and I can go to him at any time." ”
"He's going to teach you alchemy?" Zhao Lan was overjoyed.
Tong Chen nodded and said, "Yes, so what I mean is that since Grandpa Qian can't do alchemy now, then I'll try it, after all, I'm worshipping an alchemy master now, if I don't understand something, I can ask him at any time, and my current cultivation is also stable in the realm of the spirit period, which is more suitable for opening the furnace for alchemy than you." ”
Over the years, the main reason why Zhao Lan has not been able to enter the alchemy is that her cultivation is low, she has been hovering on the edge of the spirit period, and she has not been able to step into the spirit period for a long time, and the energy required to open the furnace alchemy is difficult for ordinary people to bear, so the old man Qian has never taught Zhao Lan alchemy, for fear that once she learns it, she will be in a hurry to achieve it, but she has no intention of cultivating.
Zhao Lan said that she wanted to try alchemy, which was originally a helpless choice made in a last resort, and after listening to Tong Chen's words, she thought about it carefully and felt that Tong Chen was indeed more suitable for opening the furnace for alchemy than her.
"Okay, since you have this heart, then you can try it, my mother supports you!"
After that, Zhao Lan asked Tong Chen in detail about the master he worshipped, such as whether it was a man or a woman, how old he was, what he looked like, etc., Tong Chen's master was originally made up by himself, and it didn't exist at all in reality, so he made it up and finally coped with it.
