Chapter 9 Bear the burden of humiliation
Old lady Chen's retreat can be related to Chen Yue's situation. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If there is no "old man" staring at it, I am afraid that there is no place for him to stand in this Chen Mansion...... I wondered if I wanted to go back to the Grange, but I regretted it: "Why did Grandpa suddenly remember to go into retreat? I haven't asked his old man for a month, and I don't know when the next time we meet." β
On the bluestone path, among the lush flowers and trees, Fang Fei Yingying stepped forward, glanced at Chen Yue when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "The old lady found that there is still a hundred-year-old spirit grass in the house this morning, and it has already been asked to go to the East Courtyard to find it. β
Chen Yue was shocked for a while: "That ginseng plant was actually targeted by the 'old man'." How far 'Wangyueju' is from this 'Mengyuan', since the 'old man' can sense it, others will naturally sense it. Fortunately, I came on this trip, otherwise the chickens and eggs would be beaten ......" said with a strange face: "I have heard of ginseng for hundreds of years, what is the spirit grass?"
Fang Fei smiled and said: "I haven't seen what the spirit grass looks like, I only heard that it is a kind of flower and tree that gathers the essence of the sun and the moon and grows by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." The 'Genki Pill' that our house purchases every year is said to be configured with spiritual grass. β
Chen Yue's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look carefully at the woman beside him, although she was a concubine, she was so knowledgeable, she was worthy of being a "celebrity" next to the "old man".
Fang Fei seemed to be able to see his thoughts, smiled slightly, accepted it calmly, and said, "I don't know what the eldest young master has planned, are you still going to go back to the Grange to cultivate?"
Chen Yue no longer underestimated this woman, and simply asked: "Stimulating the bloodline can only depend on luck, and I can only find a way to 'gather qi' first, I don't know if Miss Fangfei has any good suggestions." β
"Where can I give any advice to the eldest young master. Fang Fei smiled and said slowly: "There are many people in the house, but I think the eldest young master is much calmer than before, and if you want to cultivate, you don't necessarily have to go to the grange." Besides, there are so many martial artists in the house, there are always those who are on the opposite side of the eldest young master. Isn't there still a 'Yuan Qi Pill'? There are so many young masters and young ladies in the house, if the eldest young master is not in the mansion, even if the old lady has a heart, he will not be able to exert his strength!"
Chen Yue looked at Fang Fei, his eyes brighter. Being able to talk to him like this as a concubine is this calmness and mind, and he is ashamed of himself. And to be able to say this, this woman is definitely above him in terms of knowledge and means. Sure enough, it was "nine dogs out of a mastiff", and the door of the mansion was the place where people were most trained, and they didn't dare to despise this woman anymore. But what is this woman's plan to show favor to him like this, a young master who has lost power......
Fang Fei suddenly met his gaze and smiled, and said: "Speaking of which, we are not outsiders, I originally served your mother, and I hugged you when you were a child." Now Lie'er is also in the East Courtyard, even if I want to discipline, first, I can't reach the whip, and second, I don't have that qualification. If he is disobedient, please ask the eldest young master to give him advice. β
Chen Yue suddenly realized that the biological mother of the "Eighth Uncle" was the one in front of her, and she spared such a circle, just for the last sentence, I have to say that she has good intentions.
Thinking of that "Lie Ye", he frowned secretly, how could such a shrewd person teach such a demon king of the mixed world? With the Taoism of "Fang Fei", he wanted to play tricks in the Chen family's compound, wasn't he looking for death?
Not to mention that the "eighth master" offended him this morning, even if he didn't, he didn't want to get involved in the Chen family's struggle for power and profit, not to mention that it was his "second uncle" who was in charge of the family now. Joining the "Qingtian Temple" as soon as possible to find his sister in Hokyung is his goal.
Seeing that Fang Fei had been looking at him, he seemed to smile and said: "Eighth Uncle has his own master to teach, how can I, a junior, put his beak in place." If Miss Fangfei has a heart, it is better to take care of a few masters, and it is more justifiable. β
Fang Fei's eyes finally showed a little surprise, Chen Yue was able to resist the temptation of the "Yuan Qi Pill". You must know that the "Yuanqi Pill" is known as 10,000 taels of silver, and it has no price, and the power of the Chen family cannot get a palm every year. Could it be that Chen Yue still didn't know his own situation, and thought that the "old man" would give him a grain for the sake of his dead father? They all said that people go to tea and cool, let alone people die and the lights go out......
Her eyes sparkled slightly, but it was inconvenient for her to say more for a while. Chen Yue thought for a moment, saw that there was a fork in the road in front of him, stood still and hugged his fists and said, "Miss Fangfei, I still have to go back to the Eastern Courtyard to cultivate, so I will leave." β
Fang Fei nodded, and also bowed: "The eldest young master walks slowly, if you lack anything, just tell me, I can still talk in front of the old lady." β
"Then thank you, girl. Chen Yue bowed again and headed towards the East Courtyard.
Fang Fei looked at Chen Yue's back with a slightly gloomy face, thoughtful, and when he disappeared behind the flower tree, he also stepped on the path to the main courtyard.
......
Chen Yue walked on the road, his heart suddenly calmed down, "Fang Fei" was from such a humble background, pleasing an old man with peach and plum years, and he was still planning for his future, what qualifications did he have to feel sorry for himself? In a blink of an eye, he only felt that his previous actions were very naΓ―ve......
When he returned to Wangyueju and saw that the "Moonlight Treasure Box" was still there, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after carefully hiding the box, he changed into a short brown and walked towards the "Xuanwu Hall".
"Xuanwu Hall" is located in the southeast corner of the East Courtyard, covering an area of more than ten acres, and the gate is open on the street, known as one of the four martial arts halls in Yongcheng. Not only do the children of the Chen family want to practice here, but the relatives and friends of the Chen family can also send their children to practice. Even the flat-headed people, as long as they can afford to pay the restraints, they can also practice in the "Xuanwu Hall". The people sitting in the hall are all "martial artists", and the strength of the major families is reflected here.
When Chen Yue walked into the martial arts hall through the side door, the field of the former academy was already practicing. On one side, a column of young people is practicing bow and arrow, one instructor is standing at one end shouting passwords, and the rest of the instructors are correcting the posture of the crowd back and forth. When everyone's arms were sore, the teacher gave the order to release the arrows.
"Whoosh-" A hundred arrows were fired, but few of them could hit the target.
Dozens of teenagers in the field were separated by a few feet, and they were boxing according to the password of the teacher, and the shouting and shouting were deafening, and there was quite a momentum.
On the other side, hundreds of boys and girls were squatting on the horse, and the head of the sect was a big man with a beard on his face, pacing in the team with a thorn stick, and from time to time he pulled to the waist and legs of the boys around him, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Intention to guard the dantian, the strength rises from the ground, the strength is born from the heart, don't use brute force to support it! Whether the horse steps are squatting well, see if you are trembling or not." Don't squat for too long at first, but be mindful. Squat another stick of incense, and let you rest. β
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yue saw Chen Lie, who was squatting in the middle of the first row, obviously the object of his attention. Chen Lie also saw him, his little face suddenly wrinkled, and then there was a "snap", Jing Tiao twitched on his back, and the head of the sect shouted behind him: "You were distracted just after class, you don't need to rest for a while!"
Chen Lie's mouth froze, and tears flowed out. The head of the sect whipped him again and scolded: "What are you crying about, Lao Tzu is still hungry, and he has no strength!"
Chen Yue suddenly gave the head of the sect a thumbs up. Chen Lie was furious, jumped up and pointed at the strong man and scolded: "Dead orangutan, you dare to beat the master!"
"Huh?" the strong man kicked his eyes, and "brush, brush, brush" was whipped on Chen Lie with three whips.
Chen Lie cried out loud with a "wow", lying on the ground and rolling around, cursing constantly in his mouth: "Dead orangutan...... You're looking for death...... I'm going to kill you......"
"You scold again!" the strong man snorted coldly, and another whip.
"Eight ...... of the Dead King" Chen Lie was not convinced, and scolded again, and the strong man waved his hand to whip it.
After whipping him three or four times, Chen Lie finally didn't dare to scold. Everyone looked stupid, and a few "thorns" were even more frightened and didn't dare to move more. Several children who practiced boxing and archery in other places also stopped and cast their eyes one after another.
The strong man went down with another whip and shouted, "Get up and squat!"
Where did Chen Lie listen, Lai cried even more sadly on the ground: "I want to sue my father...... I'm going to tell my aunt...... I'm going to sue Daddy......"
The strong man was also short-tempered, frowned, and shouted, "You cry again!"
After whipping him more than a dozen times in a row, Chen Lie finally didn't dare to cry, and when the strong man stopped, he got up and ran to the door.
The strong man pursed his lips disdainfully and did not stop him. Chen Yue knew that his subordinates were merciful. Don't look at the whips, in fact, there is not a single mark left. Otherwise, with the ability of the "Yi Jin" martial artist, he can be broken into thousands of pieces with a whip.
A tall and thin sect leader next to him then came over and reminded: "This is the 'Eighth Master', it's almost enough!"
The strong man pursed his lips and sneered: "The second master has passed down the word, the patriarch has retreated, let us all keep an eye on it." Eighth Master, I'm going to teach him the rules of cultivation today! It's all rolled out of the knife, and our lives are cheaper than him?" Seeing that Chen Lie was about to run out of the door, he kicked his toes on the ground at will.
A small pebble flew out of the wind and hit Chen Lie right on his back. He said "ouch", and another dog gnawed on the mud and fell to the ground.
Chen Yue shook his head, and said in his heart: "Miss Fangfei, you are too worried, people really dare to care...... and he didn't bother to watch the child splash, and walked around the venue to the main hall.
The main hall is of very high standard, it is a seven-room five-frame resting mountain-style heavy roof hall, get your hands on the "Xuanwu" two vigorous ancient characters, a ring of several zhang square on the left and right, a group of disciples gathered aside, the younger one is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the older one is thirty or forty years old. There are two people on the stage who are dismantling the moves, fists and feet, and the cheers are coming and going, so it is not lively.
"Yue Shao is here!" I don't know who shouted.
"Huh-" Everyone looked sideways at the same time, and even the four martial artists who competed gradually stopped their fists and feet, and the afterglow of hundreds of explorations glanced at Chen Yue, and whispered: "I heard that Shangguan Yan of 'Danfeng Hall' is splitting his legs, he is going to duel with Ming Shao of 'Flying Tiger Hall', he's a man!"
"Hmph, just by him, he also wants to challenge Ming Shao, I heard that Ming Shao has already 'gathered qi', and he has stimulated the bloodline of the five-grade 'Hurricane Flying Tiger', even under the master of Yi Jin, he can go on a few rounds. β
"That is, it doesn't matter if he is slapped in the face, it will also cause our 'Xuanwu Hall' to lose face in front of the 'Flying Tiger Hall'!"
......
It was the first time for Chen Yue to be squinted at by such a person, and his brows were slightly furrowed, but he was relieved when he thought about it. Most of them are not members of the Chen family, and no one here recognizes him as a "young master", everything has to be based on strength. Speaking by identity, he has never had a bright future in his life. Only by speaking with strength can he have the possibility of turning over. At the moment, the eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the heart, and the steps do not stop.
"Shut up!" a loud shout rang out, and a strong young man in black stepped out from behind the screen, his cold gaze sweeping across the hall.
"Senior brother......" Everyone was excited, and suddenly fell silent.
The young man looked at Chen Yue, hugged his fists and said, "Senior Brother Chen is so good, he didn't embarrass our 'Xuanwu Hall'!"
"This senior brother is really ...... directly" Chen Yue smiled bitterly in his heart, hugged his fists and said, "Let Senior Brother Zhang laugh." β
Seeing that Chen Yue's bearing was calm, the young man had a trace of appreciation in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Nangong Ming has just gathered qi, and the power of the bloodline can't be exerted much, junior brother don't be frightened by them." With your foundation, there may not be no chance of winning...... Master Qi is in the hall, let's go in. β
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, for your encouragement. Chen Yue was really afraid that this "senior brother" would be endless, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bypassed the screen and entered the backyard.
Going out is a big ring of ten zhang square, surrounded by a circle of corridor houses, under the corridor eighteen kinds of weapons are readily available, all of which are finely carved. Chen Yue walked to a compartment with a familiar car, hugged his fists and said, "Disciple Chen Yue, I ask to see Master Qi." β
"I heard in the morning that you are going to duel with Nangong Ming, and I will come within three minutes of you!" A mellow and hearty middle-aged man laughed, and the door opened, revealing a white-clothed scholar with a lupine scarf and thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Chen Yue had a headache, so he could only clench his fists and smile bitterly: "Master Qi's magic trick!"
