Chapter III: Civil and Military Affairs
Chapter 3 Civil and Military
At this time, Immortal Master Xu put down Cang Fei's right hand, sighed lightly, and said, "Although I don't know what happened just now, you don't have a spiritual root, go back!"
After Xu Xianshi finished speaking, he half-closed his eyes again and stopped paying attention to Cang Fei. But his words dealt Cang Fei a heavy blow, and the originally ignited hope was suddenly extinguished.
Cang Fei glanced at the lonely Cang Yong, and then followed the latter down to the Sendai. And the later spirit root test is still continuing, although what happened just now aroused the curiosity of some of the people below at the beginning, but it was found that it was not a spirit child, and no one cared about it anymore.
Soon after, the Cang family's clansmen had completed the test, and no one had a spiritual root like the Xu family. And Cang Fei, who returned to the martial arts field, found that the Xu family, who had completed the spiritual root test, had already begun to return home, and the horse convoy bypassed Dengxiantai and left from behind, obviously because of the presence of Xu Xianshi, he did not dare to wantonly drive the people here to make way.
And Cang Yong didn't wait for the people of the Chen family to test the spirit root and began to tell him to prepare to set off, when Chen Yu came down with a few of his relatives and children with a little loss, the Cang family was just ready to set off. Cang Yong immediately said goodbye to Chen Yu, because none of the children of the two had a spiritual root, and the two parties were not in a good mood, and after saying a few words casually, Cang Yong returned to the place where the Cang family's carriage and horses were, and then led the team away.
At this time, Cang Fei sat by the carriage window, opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside, looking desolate. And Cangxing and the others moved out of the way, because they all found that Cang Fei was in a bad mood. They didn't understand what was going on, everyone had the same test result, why was it like this after Cangfei finished the test? But no one dared to come forward to ask, but chose to avoid it.
Their choice was actually correct, if they provoked Cang Fei at this time, they would definitely face Cang Fei's thunderous rage. At this moment, Cang Fei's mind was very confused. There is loss, there is confusion, but more often than not, resentment. He hated the sky in his heart, and his eyes flashed with hatred.
It's all because this blow was too big for him, and he has been carrying a sense of arrogance since the crossing. As a traverser, he is confident that he can make a name for himself in this world. When he first heard the legend of the immortals, he fantasized about the scene of cultivating himself into a true immortal and dominating the world. But now he learned that he had no spiritual root and had no chance to cultivate immortals, which undoubtedly shattered the dream he most longed for in his heart.
Others have crossed, and I have also crossed, why don't I even have a spiritual root?! Cang Fei kept shouting in his heart, constantly asking the sky. But this is destined to be answered by no one.
When the carriage stopped, Cang Fei got out of the carriage with everyone, and then returned to Cangfu, returned to his room groggily, and fell asleep, and slept very deeply.
Time is in a hurry, more than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the ceremony of ascending to immortals has long ended.
As far as Cangfei knows. The Ascending Immortal Ceremony lasted for five and a half days in a row, and by the sixth day. Xu Xianshi waited for a whole morning, but no children came to test, and finally he took out the test beads and flew away. And Qingcheng's Dengxian Ceremony did not appear as a spirit child, and later news came from all over the world, in the test of several nearby counties, except for a spirit child in Hongcheng. There were no spirit children in other counties.
This year's Dengxian Ceremony has become history, and Cang Fei slowly recovered his spirit after a few days of sinking. Although he has not fully recovered from the blow, he has hidden the loss in his heart deep in his heart, and it looks the same as before on the surface.
On this day, he heard a message from the servant beside Cangyong. Cang Yong wanted to see him in the study, although he was suspicious in his heart, but Cang Fei still didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and followed the servant to Cang Yong's study.
"Bang, bang, bang......" Although the door was open, the servant still knocked on the door several times before he said: "Master, the ninth young master (Cangfei Row) has been brought." ”
"Let him in!" Cang Yong's voice came from the room, and the servant immediately made a gesture of please, Cang Fei was not ambiguous, raised his legs and walked straight into the room.
But as soon as he entered the room, he found that Cang Yong was not the only one in the study, in addition to Cang Yong, there was also an old pedantic old man, and a big man.
Cang Fei knows these two people, the former is the fifth grandfather Cang Qiansheng who teaches the younger generations in the family to learn literature, and the other is the third uncle Cang Hong who teaches the younger generations martial arts.
"I've seen Daddy, Fifth Grandfather, Third Uncle!" Cang Fei bowed to them very politely, making the three elders nod secretly.
"Fei'er is really polite, do you know what Daddy called you over for this time?" Cang Yong looked at Cang Fei with great affection, and asked at the same time.
Cang Fei looked at the three of them and secretly guessed that when the men of the Cang family were six years old, they would let them major in literature or martial arts according to each other's physique and preferences. And he is six years old, just in time for the subject selection period, and now Cang Yong has invited both civil and military teachers, which must be for this matter.
Although Cang Fei already had a guess in his heart, he said: "Fei'er doesn't know, please tell Daddy." ”
"Fei'er, you are not too young, you should see an older brother than you, some of them learn literature and some practice martial arts, I don't know which one you like?" Cang Yong smiled and asked directly.
When Cang Fei heard the other party's question, he actually had the answer in his heart, but he still pretended to think about it before he said, "Daddy, the child wants to learn martial arts." ”
"Fei'er, your body is thin and weak, and your qualifications for martial arts are not high, even if you learn martial arts, you won't have much success. At this time, the third uncle on the side spoke, his words were very authoritative, and he instantly denied Cangfei's choice.
Cang Fei secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and he lowered his head at the moment, pretending to be unwilling and said: "Third uncle! I remember that you were caught secretly learning martial arts that day, and later you said the same thing after checking your nephew's physique." But the nephew still said that day, the nephew is not afraid of hardship, even if it takes a hundred times more work than others, he will work hard to learn martial arts well. ”
"Idiot! Learning martial arts depends on your talent, why should you be so persistent if you are not highly talented? I think you are usually smart and clever, and you have a very high talent for learning literature, so why don't you just learn literature from me. At this time, the fifth grandfather, who had been silent, also spoke, and his eyes looked at Cang Fei even more kindly, it seemed that he really hoped that Cang Fei could learn from him.
Cang Fei was crying out in his heart at this time, the reason why the fifth grandfather said this was actually because Cang Fei knew that the words of his previous life were not the same as those of this world. I often go to these five grandfathers to study. There are many similarities between the two worlds, and he is very easy to learn, which makes these five grandfathers never forget his "talent" in literature. This matter can only be blamed on Cangfei for being cocooned, and no one else can be blamed.
"Fifth grandfather, I actually don't like to study literature, I ......" Cang Fei is not reconciled, and learning literature has no future at all in his eyes. And there is still hope for learning martial arts, if this world also has martial arts to break through the void, or enter the Tao from martial arts or something, then it will be a big loss to learn literature by yourself.
"That's enough!" Cang Yong interrupted Cang Fei's words, "I can't do it for you, I discussed it with your fifth grandfather and third uncle just now, you are not suitable for learning martial arts, but suitable for learning literature, so you will learn literature from your fifth grandfather in the future." Got it?!" After Cang Yong finished speaking, he glanced at Cang Fei coldly.
Cang Fei immediately lowered his head, avoiding the other party's eyes, but the unwillingness in his heart did not disappear at all, but he kept thinking about how to deal with it, he is just a child now, whether he can use this to be coquettish, or cry. What about forcing the other party to give in? But then he felt that this was not in line with his usual performance, and his eyes were spinning. With a countermeasure, he immediately muttered: "Daddy, in addition to studying literature in the future, can I still learn a little martial arts from the third uncle." ”
"Yes, but you have to focus on literature. Now you go out first, I still have something to talk about with your fifth and third uncles. For the first time, Cang Yong found out that Cang Fei was so stubborn, but he felt that he couldn't hurt the child's heart too much. had to agree casually, and waved his hand to let Cang Fei out.
Cang Fei turned around and retreated, and the unwillingness on his face disappeared immediately after he went out, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The next day, in the martial arts training ground in Cangfu. Dozens of disciples are throwing punches and kicking here, and the martial artists on the side step forward from time to time to point, and sometimes these Cangfu disciples will also learn from each other. On the bench next to the martial arts training ground, a child was half-lying on it, looking at the scene in the field with great interest.
At that moment, the child suddenly felt a faint sound of wind in the back of his ears. He instantly kicked the back of the chair, and flew out of the bench, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he supported himself with both hands in time, although a pair of arms trembled slightly and looked a little difficult, but finally he bounced up with strength. But before he could stand firmly, he was caught by a large hand around his neck.
"Fei'er! Yes, this time I actually stood firm!" The voice seemed a little rough, with a hint of approval in his voice, and listening to his words, the child who was caught turned out to be Cang Fei.
Cang Fei looked at a big man in a tight-fitting military uniform in front of him, and smiled: "Actually, my nephew hasn't stood firm yet, otherwise how could he be caught by you so easily, Third Uncle." ”
The big man in front of Cang Fei was his third uncle Cang Hong.
"Hmph, didn't your father say that you should concentrate on studying literature, why did you still come to me?" Cang Hong's face was serious, and there was even a hint of anger.
"When I was leaving, my father said that when I had free time, I could come to you to learn a little martial arts. After all, I don't know any martial arts, and I will be bullied by outsiders in the future, but I will lose the face of our Cang family. Cang Fei showed an innocent smile, and his eyes deliberately showed a hint of pride.
After listening to Cang Fei's words, Cang Hong's expression did not soften, but became even more cold, and said sarcastically: "What you want to learn is not just a little self-defense martial arts, right?
"Of course, my nephew's mind can't be hidden from you, third uncle, in fact, my father doesn't necessarily know my nephew's thoughts, I should think that my nephew doesn't matter whether he learns literature and martial arts, so he agrees to this matter. The innocent smile on Cang Fei's face did not decrease at all, but he was taken aback in his heart, it seems that his performance is still too prominent, and he actually let this third uncle see his abnormality, should he be more low-key in the future?
"How can your father usually have time to look at you more, let alone understand you, it's not easy to be deceived by you. But I'm different, you've been secretly learning martial arts from me for nearly a year, don't I know anything about your catties? Your qualifications are indeed not suitable for martial arts, so let's go to your fifth grandfather to learn literature. Cang Hong's words were full of the smell of consolation, and he seemed to be determined to teach Cang Fei martial arts.
"Third uncle, what you said is not right at all, of course it is a defect to learn martial arts without good qualifications, but I have the perseverance they don't have. Like Cang Xing and Cang Ren, they are older than me and have been learning martial arts longer than me, but so what! Which of them is my opponent? They can also practice martial arts like that, why can't I?!" Cang Fei was in a hurry at this time, if the other party refused to teach him martial arts, how much could he learn by stealing it?
"Cangxing said that you bullied them that day, and you still denied it, are you admitting those things now?" Cang Hong looked at Cang Fei and said with a smile, but at the same time he was secretly frightened in his heart, if all this is true, Cang Fei is really a monster in martial arts.
"Ming people don't do dark things, and my nephew does have some festivals with them. But that's because they bullied me first, I was forced to fight back, and I never took the initiative to provoke them. Cang Fei knew that there were some things that he couldn't hide, so he revealed some things.
Cang Hong confirmed the thoughts in his heart, but he fell silent, his eyes flickered, and finally sighed, "Although you said that they bullied you first, who would believe you? If you let your father know about this, you will be guilty." ”
Then, he said: "Forget it, I'll help you hide this matter, and you won't mention it to anyone in the future, understand?"
Cang Fei thought of Cang Yong's straight face, and his heart was furious, this cheap father is not easy to mess with, and said immediately: "My nephew understands, but what if my nephew wants to practice martial arts?"
Cang Fei's smiling face looked nervous, his eyes revealed expectation, and there were tears in his eyes, dripping and turning, as if the other party didn't promise him, tears would flow down immediately.
"Okay, but you also have to go to your fifth grandfather often to learn literature, otherwise you won't be able to hide it from others. If your father knew that you practiced martial arts with me all day, he would be furious. Once you get involved with me, don't blame me for not teaching you martial arts anymore. Cang Hong said with a serious face.
"Of course, it's a big deal that my nephew will cultivate both civil and martial arts, but of course it's mainly about martial arts. Cang Fei grinned, and suddenly threw himself into Cang Hong's arms, and sprinkled coquettishly. However, at this time, he was secretly laughing in his heart, this effort was not wasted, and he finally persuaded the third uncle. (To be continued.) )
