Chapter 5 Monkey Play
In the wild, on the trail, an old man and a young man walked one after the other, it was the old man and Wu Liang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Liang looked up at the old man, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. Before leaving the Chen family, the old man's eyes seemed to be seared into his mind and lingered. Since he can remember, in the past few years, when has the old man ever leaked such a look at him?
Think about the old man's obscene appearance when he was drunk after drinking, think about the hateful expression that the old man showed to him when he was short of money, and then think about the old man's useless appearance when he entered and exited Fireworks Alley......
The old man's previous actions were mixed together, which made Wu Liang have to doubt the authenticity of the previous Chen family's scene.
Without warning, the old man's footsteps paused, and Wu Liang, who was being distracted, bumped into the old man. It's not strong, but it's not small.
The old man is as stable as a mountain, not affected in the slightest. Wu Liang was unsteady on his feet, and subconsciously took a few small steps back.
The old man turned around and looked at Wu Liang, who was hurriedly retreating, for fear of falling, and suddenly reached out and pulled him.
Wu Liang's heart warmed again, and he felt a strong family affection: "Sure enough, the scene of the Chen family is really not an illusion. ”
The corners of his eyes moistened slightly, ready to meet the old man's kind gaze again. But when he saw the old man's movements clearly, he couldn't help but burst into tears and yelled: "Sure enough, that's not true, the scene of the Chen family is really just an illusion!"
At this time, the index finger of the old man's other hand was stuffed into his nose, and he himself was picking his nose without regard for his image......
"Ahh How did he know how much of a blow Wu Liang had suffered.
"I'll just say, how is that obscene old man possible, how can it be ......"
Wu Liang muttered in a low voice, the whole person was indescribably lost.
"Lewd old man?"
The old man raised his eyebrows, "Are you talking about me?"
Thinking like this, his big hand on Wu Liang's arm suddenly clenched.
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts!" The pain in his arm pulled Wu Liang out of the intense loss.
Based on past experience, Wu Liang knew that this matter was absolutely inseparable from the old man without thinking about it. He raised his head angrily, intending to reason with the old man, but met the old man's sparkling eyes.
"It's over!"
Wu Liang suddenly had a thrill, remembering the words "bad old man" in his previous words, he shrank his neck, his whole body was weak, and the anger on his face was replaced by a flattering smile: "What, old man, your old man is really majestic in the Chen family today!"
"Really?" The old man showed a sinister smile, and the strength in his hand increased by three points silently: "It turns out that I, a bad old man, still have a majestic moment." ”
He spoke in a strange tone, especially when he said the word bad old man.
"Ugh!"
Wu Liang screamed miserably, begging for mercy: "Old man, can't I be wrong?"
"You said it yourself. The old man let go of his hand contentedly, looking like you had bumped into it yourself.
He pretended to touch his chin, grinned, and showed a grim smile: "Hehe, I haven't eaten a wild boar for a long time, you kid caught a wild boar for me to eat, and I don't think this happened today." ”
"What, wild boar?"
The muscles on Wu Liang's face twitched, and he raised his eyes to look around, as far as he could see, a horse and a flat river, where it seemed to be a place where wild boars could be born.
......
When night came, by the bonfire, Wu Liang put the skinned hare on the branch and roasted the hare with a displeased face. After his pleading, the old man finally agreed to change the recipe and eat hares instead.
On the side of the bonfire, the old man sat against the tree, with a wine gourd in one hand and rabbit meat in the other, eating happily.
Eating is better than doing, the hare is not big, not long after, a roasted hare has been swallowed by the old man, he casually plucked a dog's tail grass, while picking his teeth, while urging Wu Liang dissatisfied: "Little rabbit cub, hurry up! You want to starve your grandfather and me!"
Wu Liang was stunned, he was busy for a long time, he didn't eat a piece of meat, and at the end he was scolded by the old man. As soon as his temper came up, he slapped the ground and accused: "Old man, do you still take me as your own grandson?"
In the face of Wu Liang's accusation, the old man did not blush, he chuckled, sneered and said: "You are not my own grandson in the first place......
Wu Liang's face was full of black lines, and the green tendons on the top of his head suddenly burst out.
......
After a full meal and wine, the grandfather and grandson climbed the big tree, sat side by side on the branches, craned their necks, looked at the stars in the sky, and thought about each other.
"Old man, where are we going next?" The quiet atmosphere didn't last long, and Wu Liang opened his mouth to break it.
After half a day of precipitation, he couldn't wait to know where the old man was going to take him to participate in the spiritual opening ceremony.
The old man took a sip of wine and scratched his head: "Where to go, I didn't think about it." ”
"Eh, I didn't think about it. ”
Wu Liang shrunk his neck, rubbed his hands, and repeated it with joy, before he recalled the meaning of this sentence.
He turned his head to stare at the old man, his eyes almost spewing fire, "What did you say, didn't you think about it?"
"Cut, fuss. The old man glanced at him lightly, although his face was expressionless, but he enjoyed this process in his heart.
"Old man, didn't you say you would take me to the Enlightenment Ceremony?" Wu Liang stood up suddenly, and the branches under his feet swayed.
"What kind of spiritual ceremony?" the old man opened his eyes wide and continued to pretend to be confused, "Didn't you say that even if you really wanted to come to that place, you wouldn't go?"
"That's different!"
Wu Liang was speechless for a while, but then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "That's just the Chen family's opening ceremony, if I have the opportunity to participate in other opening ceremonies, I must go." Besides, didn't you also say it when you were in the Chen family, the world is so big, and it's not only the Chen family that has an opening array. ”
"Is there one?" the old man's face did not turn red, his heart did not beat, and his eyes did not blink in denial.
"You ......" Wu Liang was angry, and was about to scold, suddenly remembering the routine when he was teased by the old man for more than ten years, and compared with today, he suddenly found many similarities.
He hurriedly swallowed back the words that were about to come out, and couldn't help but secretly say that Jiang was still old and spicy, and at the same time made a profound criticism of his qi cultivation kung fu.
After slowing down for a while, after his mood calmed down, Wu Liang rubbed his face again and rubbed beside the old man.
He pretended to be pitiful without shame, shook the old man's arm coquettishly, and said angrily: "Old man, once this year passes, it will be really difficult for me to participate in the opening ceremony, who will give up the place of enlightenment to a person who has passed the age of thirteen?"
So, your old man is doing well, walk around more, and I will find a place for your grandson, okay! Okay~" When he said this, Wu Liang's voice was so sweet that it was outrageous!
Even the old man with excellent concentration had goosebumps when he heard this. He hurriedly got up, shook off Wu Liang's hand on his arm with a look of disgust, and looked his grandson up and down with strange eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you. After confirming that Wu Liang was not possessed by ghosts and monsters, the old man waved his hand in frustration.
Wu Liang's pretentious and shy appearance in front of him, he was really unbearable.
The old man yawned several times in a row, satisfying Wu Liang's appetite, and then introduced with a little satisfaction: "Although the spiritual ceremony is widely used in Mengyu, it is difficult to be completely popularized.
The entire preparation process is extremely complicated, requiring a lot of material resources and manpower, not to mention the need for an opening array as the core. As a result, the vast majority of small families do not have the ability to perform an opening ceremony.
There are only five Enlightenment Arrays in the entire Fog Sea, and the families that have the ability to hold the Enlightenment Ceremony alone are only the Wen family of Wulong Island and the Chen family of Luoxing Island. The remaining three Spirit Arrays were controlled by the remaining dozens of families, large and small. ”
"Are there only five Spirit Opening Arrays?" Wu Liang frowned: "This is a little too little." ”
"Hmph, you know what. The old man took a sip of wine and continued with a little mockery: "Mist, rock, Qian, and secluded, the overall strength of the Fog Sea is the worst among the four seas, and the concentration of heaven and earth aura is also the lowest.
Even the Chen family's Spirit Opening Array was built by the Chen family a hundred years ago at a great cost to an elder of the Qingling Sect who was proficient in the formation. ”
The old man sneered: "If it weren't for that, the number of Spirit Arrays in the Sea of Fog would have to stay at four now." ”
Wu Liang nodded, thoughtful. But he didn't want to delve into anything here, but asked what he was most concerned about at this time: "Then which Spirit Formation are we going to next?"
"Not at all!" the old man squinted his eyes and said firmly.
"What?"
Wu Liang jumped up suddenly, "Old man, we don't bring this!"
"What's the hurry. ”
The old man glared and explained unhurriedly: "You don't count how many people in the sea of fog look forward to participating in the spiritual ceremony every year. Hmph, although there are five Spirit Formation Arrays in the Sea of Mist, the number of places that can be provided is far from enough for the Sea of Mist Monks to divide up, so I naturally don't bother to compete with those juniors in the Sea of Mist. ”
The old man tilted his head, tucked his little thumb into his ear, and plucked his ear vigorously: "Originally, the Chen family was a good choice, but my clan was too angry. ”
Wu Liang nodded approvingly, feeling that the old man had been talking nonsense for a long time, and this sentence sounded comfortable.
Although his heart was slightly comfortable, this little emotion did not make Wu Liang forget his purpose, so he hurriedly added: "The Chen family is not good, isn't there still a Wen family?"
"Wen family?" the old man raised his eyebrows: "The Wen family is indeed not bad, if I give them a few spiritual materials and the like, I can indeed get a place." ”
"Hey, there's a play!" Wu Liang's eyes lit up, looking forward to the old man's next words.
"But-" The old man's face was entangled, and after a long time, he spread his hands under Wu Liang's expectant eyes and said, "But I don't like the Wen family, especially the place on Wulong Island......"
The expression on Wu Liang's face froze, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered.
"Old man, are you playing with me?"
Wu Liang burst into tears, at this time he was no longer half interested in the opening ceremony, "Forget it, let your old man watch it." I kind of figured it out, even if I talk to you a lot here, your old man will only treat me like a monkey......"
"Well, that's right. The old man patted the back of Wu Liang's head with a look of relief.
