Chapter 8: Elders
Chapter 8 Elders
"Fifth Grandfather......" Cang Fei looked pitiful, and he had long been thinking in his heart about squeezing out everything about immortals in this old mind.
Cang Qiansheng looked at Cang Fei's appearance and smiled bitterly. Every time he rejects the other party, the other party will be like this, he really doesn't know if Cang Fei is pretending to be like this. But thinking that Cang Fei was just a ten-year-old child, he didn't think much about it, and sighed: "That's it! Fifth Grandpa took you to meet someone, and if you have any questions about the immortals, you can ask him in the future, so that I can be quiet and quiet." However, when he talked about that person, Li Qiansheng seemed a little hesitant, but in the end he agreed, it seems that he wants to put aside the trouble of Cangfei as soon as possible.
"Fifth grandfather, who are you going to take your grandson to meet?" Cang Fei wondered.
"If you want to know, come with me, and you'll know when you go. Cang Qiansheng didn't tell Li Yang directly, but walked out of the door, not caring whether Cang Fei followed or not. Seeing this, Cang Fei's eyes flashed, and he quickly followed.
Cangfu is the second largest courtyard in Qingcheng in addition to Xufu, with a wide range and extraordinary momentum, and the main hall of Li Mansion is in the middle. The main hall is the place where the people of the Cang family discuss important matters, and it is there that Cang Yong and his several wives discuss the matter of ascending to the immortal ceremony that day.
There is a small square between the main hall and the gate of Cangfu, which is mainly a meeting place for announcing things within the family or holding events. The last time the immortal ceremony was held, the children of the Cangfu branch and the children of the servants, as well as their elders, gathered there to wait.
The left and right sides of the lobby and the square are the left and right courtyards of Cangfu respectively. The left courtyard is mainly built for the children of martial arts, and the most important venue in it is the martial arts training ground, where Cang Fei and Cang Xing and others fought that day. On the other hand, the right courtyard was built for the children of Xi Wen, and the main building was a family school for teaching studies, and there were also some carved galleries and paintings. Pond flowers and plants provide an atmosphere for the children of the Cang family to write poems and paint.
After the lobby and the left and right courtyards, there is the inner hall of Cangfu, which is mainly the residence of the core clan of the Cang family and their families, and Cangfei's bedroom is of course there.
Cang Fei followed Cang Qiansheng out of the right courtyard, and then walked through the back hall. Finally, we came to a small door behind the back hall. He was puzzled in his heart, because behind the small gate was the outer courtyard, where there were only two places, one was the Cangjia Ancestral Temple, and the other was the Cangjia Buddhist Hall. And Cang Qiansheng in front ignored Cang Fei and walked directly into the outer courtyard. Cang Fei, who was following behind, pouted, but still followed without falling a step.
Entering the outer courtyard, Cang Fei saw the Buddha hall on the left and the ancestral temple on the right. He was very unfamiliar with both places, he had never been to the Buddhist hall at all, and he had only entered the ancestral temple a few times when he was worshipping his ancestors, and each time he was in a hurry, so he didn't have time to understand the situation there.
"Keep up. Cang Qiansheng said casually, and went directly to the ancestral temple. Cang Fei immediately nodded and followed, he knew that the final destination should be the ancestral temple.
"Fourth brother, my younger brother is here to visit!" Cang Qiansheng said softly when he came to the gate of the ancestral temple. Then without waiting for an answer, he walked straight in with Cang Fei.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable! Today, the poor road here has welcomed guests one after another. It seems that the world can't forget the poor road!" As soon as Cang Fei stepped on the threshold, he saw an old Taoist priest in the ancestral temple sitting cross-legged on the futon, looking at himself and Cang Qiansheng without sadness or joy. And on a futon next to him, there was a kind old monk.
These two people Cang Fei knew each other, the Taoist priest was the fourth grandfather Cang Qianxing who was in charge of the ancestral temple, and the Taoist name was Yunxu, and the monk was his second grandfather Cang Qianming. The Buddha name is Kongming, and he is in charge of the outer courtyard Buddha Hall. Now that Cang Qianming is here, he should have come to the ancestral temple to talk about the scriptures with Cang Qianxing.
"It turns out that the second brother is also here, what a coincidence! Fei'er, go get two futons. I'm going to get together with my two brothers. Cang Qiansheng looked at the monk and seemed very happy.
Cang Fei responded obediently, but he still bowed to the monk first and said, "Grandson has seen the second grandfather and the fourth grandfather." After both of them nodded, Cang Fei walked to a corner of the temple and took out two futons, one futon was placed behind Cang Qiansheng, and the other was placed next to him.
Cang Qiansheng nodded and sat on the futon behind him, but Cang Fei looked at the futon beside him and did not sit, but stood respectfully behind Cang Qiansheng.
"Fei'er, why don't you sit?" Cang Qianxing turned his head to Cang Fei and asked.
Cang Fei hurriedly shook his head and responded: "Back to the fourth grandfather, in front of your elders, my grandson doesn't dare to make a mistake." ”
"Amitabha! Master Qiansheng, this is the student you taught? Sure enough, just like you, they are all people who observe etiquette! It's just that the Buddha said: All people in the world are equal, so how can there be a distinction between respect and inferiority?" Cang Qianming shook his head slightly, and after saying this, he closed his eyes lightly and ignored the other three.
And Cang Qianxing next to him nodded when he heard this, "What the Buddha of Kongming said is very true, but unfortunately Qiansheng has been in the turbidity world all the year round, so it should be difficult to figure this out." With a helpless sigh, the Taoist priest didn't say anything more.
"Respecting the teacher is the word of a saint, and Qiansheng is a disciple of a saint, and he will never dare to disobey it. The younger brother came this time because he asked for something, Fei'er was quite interested in the affairs of the immortals, and his doubts were not answered by his younger brother. As for the matter of immortals, the younger brother thought that the fourth brother would know more about the people in the Dao Sect, so he came to pay his respects. Cang Qiansheng didn't care about the words of the two brothers, but directly explained the meaning.
"What does the little donor want to know?" Cang Qianxing's tone did not contain any emotion. And Cang Qiansheng was not surprised by this, it seemed that he had long been accustomed to it, but repeated Cang Fei's question.
"The immortal qi on the immortal body?" Cang Qianxing turned his head to look at Cang Fei and asked softly, "I don't know why the little donor wants to know about these immortal things?"
Cang Fei had been sitting on the side and bowing his head and waiting, wondering why Cang Qiansheng had let him bring two futons. At this time, when he heard Cang Qianxing's question, he looked up at the other party and was about to answer. But at this moment, Cang Qianxing's pupils flashed with blue light, and Cang Fei, who was staring at him, only felt that his brain was dizzy, and his eyes were confused: "Fei'er wants to know more about immortals, I don't believe that I am a ......."
Rumble!
When Cang Fei was about to say the word traverser, his heart tightened, his mind roared, and his sanity immediately recovered.
"Huh!" Cang Qianxing let out a voice in surprise, and Cang Fei broke free from his mind control, which surprised him. And the other side. Cang Fei was even more furious, just now he was confused by the other party, and almost revealed his identity as a traverser. If it weren't for the fact that his mind suddenly fluttered for some reason, he would still be lost in the other party's exercises now.
Although Cang Fei knew that even if he said that he was a traverser, the other party might not be able to understand it, but once he was in the next words. inadvertently revealed that he was not the original Cangfei, and I can't imagine what he will release at that time. At this time, he was extremely shocked in his heart, and he was afraid of the fourth grandfather in front of him, who was the other party?
At this time, Cang Qiansheng smiled heartily: "Haha! I can't imagine that the fourth brother's true words also missed?Fei'er, you weren't frightened, right?" Cang Qiansheng turned around and looked at Cang Fei softly, and comforted softly.
When Cang Fei heard Cang Qiansheng's words, he smiled bitterly in his heart, a mortal actually had such a strong ecstasy spell, that is, he had cultivated the Feng Luo Xuangong that he was running all the time to the second heaven. When the other party invades his mind, he can't resist the slightest, and he still looks down on the world when he sees it.
However, what he thought in his heart, he didn't dare to show anything, he pretended to be puzzled from the time he woke up to the present, and only then did he reply in a wooden manner: "What happened just now? Sun Er seemed to be answering the fourth grandfather's question, but it was as if he was dreaming." ”
"It's nothing, it should just be that the donor was absent-minded just now. The surprise on Cang Qianxing's face had long since disappeared. "Since the donor wants to know about the immortal qi, Poor Dao will explain it to the donor. The immortal energy mentioned in the "Heaven and Earth Xuanjing". The immortals call it aura, it exists in the heavens and the earth, formless, colorless and everywhere, it is not visible to our mortal eyes, but the immortals can absorb it for their cultivation. As for whether the immortals are surrounded by aura, the poor Dao doesn't know anything. If the donor really wants to know, he may have to ask the immortal himself. ”
Cang Fei was pleasantly surprised, because he learned that the cultivators of this world also relied on absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate. However, because his question had not been answered, he could only pretend to be dissatisfied. frowned and said, "Since the fourth grandfather can't answer this matter, the grandson can only wait until he meets the immortals and then ask them in person." ”
"Haha!" Cang Qiansheng laughed when he heard Li Yang's childish words, "If there is an immortal willing to talk to you, then it doesn't hurt." Fei'er, your matter is over, let's go back first, if you still have such questions in the future, just ask your fourth grandfather directly. As for your fifth grandfather and me, it is rare that the two elder brothers are here, and I plan to stay and catch up with them. ”
Fei'er understood. Cang Fei immediately agreed, and then bowed to Cang Qianxing and Cang Qianming, "Grandson has retired first!" Cang Qianxing nodded, and Cang Qianming was still sitting cross-legged on the futon like a Buddha statue, his eyes closed and not moving. Of course, Cang Fei didn't dare to have an opinion, and then quietly retreated, just glanced at the empty futon from the corner of his eye before leaving, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
When he walked out of the temple gate, a cool breeze blew in front of him, and he suddenly felt a chill on his back. At this time, she realized that the clothes on her back had already been soaked with sweat, thinking that it was the cold sweat that came out of the technique just now. With a sigh of relief, he quickly left this place that made him feel a little afraid, as for Cang Qiansheng said that he had relevant questions in the future, he could continue to ask Cang Qianxing, where did he still have that guts.
When Cang Yang left in a hurry, making up his mind not to set foot in this place easily in the future, the atmosphere in the ancestral temple was very depressing. Because the three people sitting on the futon have been silent since Cang Yang left, there is no noise in the temple, and the sound that the three of them can hear is only the sound of their slow breathing.
At this moment, a gloomy voice spread through the temple, "That kid was weird just now. ”
The voice was very strange and erratic, so that the three people who heard this could not guess where this person was.
"It's just a ten-year-old child, what's so weird? Won't Uncle Nine sit down and talk?" Cang Qiansheng's voice was respectful, but his words were very amazing. He is already Cangfei's grandfather, and he is seventy years old at this time, but he also calls the mysterious person who came out of the voice the ninth uncle, so isn't this ninth uncle a character who has lived longer?
"I've consulted with you so many times, which one of you have ever sat down? You shouldn't have ordered that kid to take two futons just now. Even if you take two, you should ask him to sit down, so that he will not be suspicious. The voice was erratic, and he unceremoniously reproached Cang Qiansheng.
"The elders are here, and Qianshengli should prepare a seat for the elders. And since this one is for the elders, there is naturally no reason to let the juniors sit. Besides, he's a ten-year-old child, what does he know?" Although Cang Qiansheng was blamed, he didn't dare to have any anger, and just retorted softly.
"Hmph! I hate you the guy who reads to death the most, that kid has already noticed the strangeness in it just now! Do you really think he is a fool? In my eyes, you are much more stupid than him!" Listening to the tone of the ninth uncle, he was already extremely angry, and it seemed that he was very angry with Cang Qiansheng.
"Qiansheng, that kid did find the clue just now, he secretly paid attention to this empty futon before leaving, although I don't know what conjecture he had in his heart, but this time Qiansheng you are definitely negligent. At this time, Cang Qianxing also interjected, indicating that Cang Qiansheng had indeed made a mistake just now.
Cang Qiansheng was really a little surprised, Cang Qianxing also said so, it seems that there will be nothing wrong with this matter. I didn't expect the ten-year-old Cang Fei to pay attention to such a small move, which was also too unbelievable, and I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when I thought of it, and said sincerely: "Uncle Nine, my nephew knows that he is wrong. ”
"Hmph! What's the use of knowing your mistakes, will you change them next time? Can you turn around with your brain full of sage rules? Don't talk about me, even you won't believe it!" After Uncle Jiu, who didn't know where, lost his temper, he let go of Cang Qiansheng and turned his head to the other side, "Qianxing, what happened just now?"
"Back to Uncle Jiu, my nephew's mantra was broken by that kid!" In the face of this ninth uncle, Cang Qianxing no longer dared to call others benefactors, let alone call himself poor.
"How is it possible?!" Cang Qiansheng was shocked again, and said in confusion: "Fei'er's Feng Luo Xuangong has only been cultivated to the second level, how can it be possible to break the fourth brother's true speech technique?!Fourth brother, you can't be mistaken, right?"
"What a cow who doesn't know how to be flexible!" Uncle Jiu, who was in the hiding place, couldn't bear it anymore and shouted violently: "Qiansheng, I don't want to hear your voice again until I approve it!"
"Yes, Uncle Nine, my nephew understands. Cang Qiansheng's face turned red, but he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, so he bowed his head and agreed. (To be continued.) )
