For Chen Yuan, who couldn't meditate and cultivate, sleeping was his best means of rejuvenating his energy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, he also planned to stay at Senior Brother Zhou's house for one night, recuperate his spirits, and then set off to Yunmengze.

But at this moment, the insects and frogs outside the window are a little unbearable.

Chen Yuan understood that the real reason why he couldn't sleep was because he had something on his mind.

Zhou Zhihao's father gave Chen Yuan a very strange feeling.

When they first met during the day, Chen Yuan was already aware of it, but at that time, he couldn't say why.

After coming back, after thinking quietly, he realized that the problem was his father's attitude towards him.

When Father Zhou saw him, he behaved too indifferently, as if he was like Chen Yuan's senior brothers and elders, who looked at Chen Yuan with a dull gaze on weekdays.

But this is the most abnormal place in the normal attitude.

If Zhou Zhihao is his son, he can treat it with a normal heart, but for Chen Yuan, such a strange monk, Father Zhou should never have that indifferent attitude.

is like his apprentice Wang Hu, although he knows that Chen Yuan is a friend brought by Zhou Zhihao, he still has three points of diligence and awe in his attitude.

But Father Zhou didn't care that Chen Yuan was a monk, in his eyes, Chen Yuan was not much different from those villagers who visited the door.

If this anomaly in attitude was just the cause of Chen Yuan's doubts, then when talking about the long sword with strange refining techniques, Father Zhou's performance was even more puzzling.

He was faintly disdainful of the flying sword that Chen Yuan refined for Zhou Zhihao, and he was quite complacent about Chen Yuan's praise of his own technique, which was recognized by his peers, and then when Chen Yuan praised him for his unique method of handling materials, he changed color and said that he was sick and retired.

For a while, Father Zhou gave Chen Yuan the feeling that he was a secret refining Dao cultivator, not the best blacksmith in the mouth of Senior Brother Zhou.

It's just that what puzzled Chen Yuan the most was that Father Zhou's body couldn't feel the monk's unique aura or spiritual power fluctuations at all.

Thinking about his thoughts in a mess, it was difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning for a long time, and in the end, Chen Yuan gave up this futile attempt.

The night was like water, Chen Yuan put on his clothes and walked into the small courtyard, taking a walk at will.

This is the backyard of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhihao's mother has long passed away, and there are only the Zhou family's father and son and a few apprentices who learn to make iron in the yard, and there is no female dependent, so there are not so many taboos.

Although the scenery in the small courtyard is not beautiful, it is clean and wild, and the smell of charcoal burning from the front yard is mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers, which makes Chen Yuan's heart gradually calm down.

Forget it, everyone has their own secrets, why do I have so much heart, Chen Yuan laughed at himself.

Just as Chen Yuan was about to go back to sleep, about to pretend that he didn't know anything about Father Zhou's abnormality, he suddenly heard a long sigh from the darkness under the tree.

Chen Yuan raised his eyes and found that it was Zhou Zhihao sitting alone at the stone table, frowning.

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still turned around and walked towards Senior Brother Zhou.

"How's the situation with uncle?" Out of politeness, Chen Yuan couldn't ignore his master's condition.

Senior Brother Zhou's main purpose on this trip home was to take the elixir he found from the sect to cure his father's illness.

But looking at his current performance, it seems that the result is not ideal.

Sure enough, Zhou Zhihao opened his mouth and said: "Huangji Health Pill is known as the best pill that mortals can take, not only can it abandon injuries and diseases, but also prolong life, this time the reward of 10,000 spirit stones I got in Ningcheng Dao was mostly spent on this pill." ”

"The effect is so magical, but why does it have no effect on my father?" Zhou Zhihao's expression was full of depression.

The elixir suitable for mortals, healing wounds and diseases, ranging from a dozen spirit stones to thousands of spirit stones.

Zhou Zhihao was commendable in filial piety, thinking of his father's hard work in raising him alone, and smashed in 10,000 spirit stones at any cost, not only to cure his father's injury, but also to hope that his father could regain his youth and live a long life.

Now that he has not even achieved the most basic goals, how can he not be disappointed?

"Uh, could it be that the medicinal power is relatively stable and slow, and it will take effect slowly in the future?" asked Chen Yuan.

"No," Zhou Zhihao shook his head and said disappointedly, "After my father took the pill, I stayed by his side for two hours, and I didn't notice even the slightest change. ”

"It's as if my dad eats nothing more than a jelly bean," Zhou Zhihao smiled bitterly, "Hey, a jelly bean worth 10,000 spirit stones......"

Of course, Chen Yuan understood that this situation was by no means normal.

Like this kind of superb elixir, even if the medicinal properties are soothing, at the beginning of taking it, there will be some out-of-phase such as the warmth of the body or the elimination of impurities in the body.

Not to mention the 10,000 pills, in Chen Yuan's previous life, a cold medicine for one dollar would also have a little dizziness and drowsiness.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your father, what kind of illness is it?"

Hearing Chen Yuan's question, Zhou Zhihao's brows couldn't help frowning.

I saw him say suspiciously: "I can't say what the specific symptoms are, I remember when I was a child, my father seemed to be fine, but as I got older, my father's illness has become more and more obvious in recent years." ”

"At first, my hands gradually weakened, then my legs also became a little disobedient, and the most important thing is that every thunderstorm, my father's strange disease will torture him to death. ”

"In my mind, my father is like a big mountain, no matter what difficulties he encounters, he never even frowns. ”

"But once I unexpectedly saw my father's ill appearance, he was rolling on the ground in pain, his fingers scratched blood marks on the bluestone slab, and his face was completely distorted, full of snot and tears. ”

"My dad was in such pain, but I could only watch from the sidelines, and I couldn't help anything. Thinking of his father's tragic situation, Senior Brother Zhou's tone became choked, and tears couldn't help but flow out.

"Later, I was fortunate enough to be chosen by Ying Tianzong, and on the day I entered the door, I secretly swore in my heart that I would definitely ask for an elixir to cure my father's illness. ”

"But now...... But now I can't help with anything. ”

Zhou Zhihao slammed down with a punch, and the stone table suddenly fell apart, and his words were full of hatred for his incompetence.

As for his father's illness described by Senior Brother Zhou, Chen Yuan had never heard of it.

Seeing Senior Brother Zhou's painful appearance, even if Chen Yuan wanted to help, he couldn't do anything.

Just when he was helpless, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered that the dog was leftover.

It seems that there is nothing in this world that it does not know.

Perhaps, it will have a way.
