Chapter 8: The Flight of Edgeworth
"Ping'er, go and prepare, say goodbye to your parents, we will set off soon, and the mountain protection array has been opened. Yuan Yi drove the flying sword to Chen Ping, who was still exercising his muscles.
"Well, I didn't have anything to prepare, so I'm going to go home and say goodbye to my parents. Chen Ping said excitedly.
"Go ahead, there are still a few more days to spend more time with your mother. Yuan Yi looked helplessly at Chen Ping, whose eyes were full of excitement.
"Father, mother, as soon as tomorrow passes, I will follow Yuan Yi Dao Elder to seek the method of immortality, you must take care of yourself and take care of yourself. Chen Ping returned home, found his parents, and said calmly.
"Well, I already know, you have thought clearly, you really want to seek the method of immortality, Jindan Dao?" asked the father with a calm look in his eyes, not at all surprised.
Chen Ping looked at his father strangely: "Father, how do you know about Jindan Dao?
"Yes, that's right, it was Daoist Yuan Yi who told me, the moment you decided to go, I thought I knew, in the past six months, watching you not afraid of hardships and working hard to exercise your body, I knew that sooner or later you would have to leave me and your mother, you are like a bird, you will eventually fly away, we will only become an obstacle to you at home, you have no room to play freely, sooner or later it will hinder your growth. As long as you don't forget, there is still me and your mother waiting for your return. Chen Hanshi said proudly.
"Ping'er, no matter where you go, you miss home, miss your mother, just raise your head to see the stars inlaid on the black canopy, which are the eyes of the mother looking forward to the child's homecoming. Yan Xiujiao looked at Chen Ping blankly and said, I wanted to look at my child and imprint his figure deeply in my mind.
At this moment, whether it is Chen Ping, who usually doesn't care, Chen Hanshi, who is not surprised, or Yan Xiujiao, who is sentimental, the three of them hugged each other. For the first time in this world, in front of outsiders, Chen Ping shed tears. Yan Xiujiao has long been crying.
"Parting is always sad. There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. It is difficult for children to become adults under the wing of their parents, and they should let go when it is time to let go. Xiujiao, we are waiting for our children to come back safely. At this time, Chen Hanshi's unchanged voice said.
That's right, how can there be parents in the world who don't want their sons to become talents, and don't want their children to become dragons among people?
After Chen Ping's mother figured this out, she was relieved, yes, people can't always live under the wings of their parents in their lives, we are growing up, and we must step out of the umbrella of our parents to conquer a more wonderful world.
"Son, your father and I will wait for you to come back safely, and when you have conquered everything and stood at the pinnacle of life, you will be our pride. Yan Xiujiao looked at her son with a firm look in her eyes and said.
"Well, I will, and when I'm at the top of my life, you'll be proud to have a son like me. Chen Ping said excitedly. I thought to myself, Mom, Lingruo, you will also be proud of me.
The parting was sad, and in the evening, Yan Xiujiao cooked herself and made a hearty dinner for her son. The family had a great time eating. Chen Hanshi brought out his treasured monkey wine, poured himself a full glass, and poured a glass for Chen Ping. "Father, I don't drink. Chen Ping saw his father pouring wine for himself.
"How can a manly man not drink, you have grown up, have a drink. Chen Hanshi looked at his son and said.
Ah, it's so spicy, Chen Ping raised the wine glass and drank it, this wine is so fragrant, even more fragrant than what I have drunk before. It's just too spicy. Chen Ping thought to himself. "Haha, you kid just haven't drunk wine at first glance, this wine can't taste the same as if you drink it, you have to take a small sip, a small sip to taste, then you can taste the taste of wine. Chen Hanshi said that such a small episode alleviated the pain of parting for the family.
After a while, the wine that Chen Hanshi took out had been drunk by the father and son, and Chen Hanshi and Chen Ping also drank and lay on the table. Yan Xiujiao sighed and said: "Hey~ These two people don't know what they are drinking." Strange, isn't Hanshi usually able to drink? Why did he get drunk after drinking a little casually today? ”
In fact, Chen Hanshi was not drunk, but just pretended to be drunk. The pain of parting torments people, saying that Chen Hanshi doesn't care? Does he really care? He cares more than Yan Xiujiao, just a man, the head of the family, he can only cry silently in his heart, he can't show it on the surface, he can only bear it in his heart.
Early the next morning, Chen Ping woke up, I don't know anything about this wine, but my head doesn't hurt, unlike the wine I drank before, no matter how much I drank, when I woke up the next morning, my head must have hurt badly.
Packed up his things, took two sets of clothes casually, came to the door of Yuan Yi's room, and waited for Yuan Yi to wake up. After a while, the door opened, and Yuan Yi said, "Ping'er, pack up, go and say goodbye to your parents, let's go." ”
"No, Daoist Yuan Yi, don't go and say goodbye, I'm afraid I can't help it. Let's go quickly, I don't want to see the sad eyes of my parents. Chen Ping said.
"Alright then, let's go. After Yuan Yi finished speaking, he took out his sword, pulled Chen Ping and flew into the sky. As soon as they left, there was a man standing behind them, looking at how lonely it was, just standing so blankly, looking at the direction they left, the man who was like an iron beater, finally shed tears at the last moment, silently thought in his heart, take care of the child, father is waiting for you to come back, you must come back alive.
"Wow, it's so exciting, Daoist Yuan Yi, when I learn the spell, can I fly like you." Chen Ping stood behind Yuan Yi, feeling the wind blowing and feeling the vastness of the earth.
"This is called the flight of the sword, you can only fly by yourself during the foundation building period, but you can only fly a few miles during the foundation building period, that is because you don't see the head of our sect, you don't need any flying swords, you can fly, much faster than me. Yuan Yi smiled and said, thought about it, and then said to Chen Ping: "Hurry up, I'm going to speed up, fly like us, and fly to the year of the monkey." ”
After speaking, with a whoosh, the speed became faster, and the frightened Chen Ping tightly grabbed Yuan Yi's robe.
After flying for about three hours, Yuan Yi said, "We're almost there, we're ready to go down." ”
As soon as he fell to the ground, Chen Ping turned into mud, collapsed to the ground, began to vomit, and said vaguely in his mouth: "I, I, I, I can't do it, I'm going to die, I'm dizzy." After saying that, he vomited again, thinking to himself, damn, is this the legendary empty halo. I've done a lot of airplanes before, but I've never seen this happen.
"Ping'er, you see, this mountain range is called the Yuantian Mountain Range, when you usually come, it is a fog, and you can't enter it without its law, this is for cultivators, and mortals are naturally not subject to this restriction. However, if a mortal enters the mountains, he will lose his way and eventually wither withered inside. The Mountain Protection Immortal Array was opened once every five years, for thirty-three days and three hours. The great array of this gate is called the Yuan Tian Zhu Immortal Array, which was founded by the ancestor of the Kai faction, Yuan Tian Zhenjun. Yuan Yi said.
"Then, what is the connection between Yuantian City and Yuantian Mountain Range?" Chen Ping still hadn't come to his senses.
"Hehe, Yuantian City is at the foot of the Yuantian Mountain Range, but it is already close to the edge, and the Yuantian Mountain Range is thousands of miles long, not to mention hundreds of thousands of miles. Yuan Yi said with emotion.
"Ah, no, it's so long, I thought it was just a mountain range with a radius of thousands of miles. Chen Ping said in surprise.
"Let's go, you are not a disciple of this sect, you can only walk up the mountain, and you can only do it alone, I helped you and helped me. Yuan Yi looked at Chen Ping as well.
"Walk, walk, how long will it take? I won't be able to walk on the mountain for a year, right?" Chen Ping exclaimed.
"Walk, walk, twenty years ago, I also walked up the mountain like this, this is also the first level of Yuantianmen to accept disciples, if you can't pass the first level, then I will send you back now, don't embarrass me." Yuan Yi said solemnly.
Chen Ping shrunk his neck when he heard Yuan Yi say this, and then thought of something, straightened his waist and said loudly to Yuan Yi: "Since I came out, I have to go home in style, otherwise, I have nothing to do with my face, and I will also embarrass Yuan Yi Daoist you, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely go up and become a disciple of the sect, and I will not disappoint the expectations of my parents and you." With that, he walked straight in.
Yuan Yi nodded, and said softly that his temper is better than mine, yes, I just don't know if you can climb the mountain, and then said loudly to Chen Ping: "Ping'er, I'm going, I'm waiting for you on the mountain." Remember, you only have thirty-three days and three hours. ”
At this time, Chen Ping has entered the deep mountains, I must speed up my pace, I can't embarrass Yuan Yi Daochang, only with a persevering mentality, can I achieve the goal, I must become a cultivator, only when I become a cultivator can I go home to see my mother and Lingruo. Are you all right now?
After a while, half a month has passed, and Chen Ping has been rushing every day for half a month, climbing on a tree to rest when he is tired, and picking some wild fruits to quench his thirst and satisfy his hunger. On this day, I faintly heard the sound of fighting in an invisible place. Chen Ping had the mentality that it was better to have more than one thing, and was ready to take a detour. But he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and slowly lurked towards the place where the fight was fighting.
Soon, Chen Ping came to the place where the fight was fighting, only to see the boss of Chen Ping's frightened mouth when the fight scene was open. He saw something, and saw a spirit beast that was thicker than his waist and resembled a snake not far away, why did it look like a snake, it had a silver horn on its head. Everyone knows that snakes have no horns.
