Chapter 2: Eight Years Later
The old man seemed to have done something insignificant at first sight, but his face was still kind and harmonious, he stroked his beard with his hand, and then looked at the children in front of him with a smile.
Gu San slowly got up from the ground, but suddenly knelt on his knees, and bowed to the old man three times, he understood that today was to meet a living immortal, otherwise how could an old man save his brother?" ”
"Get up. The old man just raised his hand, and Gu San slowly stood up, but he was still respectful of his waist, but the old man knew that this was the reason why he was seriously injured, and then took out a bottle from his body, took out a golden pill from it, and said to Gu San: "Come, take it and it should be fine." Then the old man took out another one and handed it to the king monkey.
"Thank you to the living immortals. The king monkey saluted.
The old man nodded, then looked at a few people and said, "Old man passing by here today, it can be regarded as a fate of our creation, one of you can follow me to practice, I wonder if any of you is willing to worship me as a teacher?"
"Apprentice?" Gu San chuckled in his heart, the opportunity was right in front of him, with such a master, why couldn't he be famous in the world? Why didn't he want to get ahead? And why didn't he want to be admired by thousands of people? But a thought in his mind never stopped, if he left, where would his brothers who were only a few years old go? After thinking about it, Gu San said respectfully to the old man: "Old man, living immortals, please forgive Gu San for being rude, I can't worship you as a teacher, once I leave, they will have no one to take care of." Gu San pointed at Fang Qi and the others.
The old man nodded, then looked at Fang Qi, Wang Monkey, and Jiang Xiang, and couldn't help asking, "What about you? ”
Fang Qi and the three of them didn't speak, they looked at each other, everyone knew in their hearts that they all wanted to worship the old man as a teacher, but the old man only accepted one apprentice, who was going to go?
The old man smiled, and then he saw what the three of them were thinking, and said, "You three little dolls have a good discussion, and after the discussion, you can go with me." ”
Fang Qi's three people are about the same age, but Fang Qi is slightly older, ranking second, ranking third, Wang Monkey is second, ranking fourth.
"Second brother, I want to go. Wang Monkey said to Fang Qi, his eyes were full of hope, hoping that Fang Qi would be on his side and agree to let him learn art from the old man.
Jiang Xiang didn't speak, he was silent all the time, just looked at Fang Qi with his eyes, Fang Qi actually wanted to go in his heart, how could he not envy the opportunity to be an immortal? But at the same time, he didn't want to disappoint his two younger brothers, they were orphans themselves, helpless, and several brothers depended on each other, so Fang Qi cherished this friendship between brothers.
Fang Qi thought about it again and again, using a child's 'mature' way of thinking to decide the fate of Wang Monkey and Jiang Xiang, just when Fang Qi made up his mind, he looked at Gu San, but Gu San didn't speak, he already understood what Fang Qi meant, just nodded and agreed.
"Fourth, let the third brother go, his health is worse when he is young, if he worships the old grandfather as a teacher, I think it should be good for his body. Fang Qi said it directly to the king monkey after getting Gu San's approval.
After hearing Fang Qi's words, Wang Monkey felt very uncomfortable, he really wanted to go, he never wanted to live this kind of life again, but Fang Qi was the second brother, and he was also recognized by the eldest brother Gu San, Wang Monkey had no better reason to refute, they were brothers, brothers who had come over after a few years of life and death.
"Let the monkeys go. The general said softly, "I can see that he really wants to go." ”
"No, I'm not going. The king monkey cried out at once, "I'm not going, I'm not going." Saying that, Wang Monkey pushed the general towards the old man, "Third brother, go ahead, after learning the skills, we will no longer be afraid of being bullied." ”
No one can understand what the little Wang Monkey is thinking at this moment, but he really wants to cry, so he cries.
"Yes. The old man nodded, a palm that was not wide was placed on the shoulder of the general, and then looked at the ancient three people, "It can be seen that there is a deep relationship between your brothers, old man, I will make a ten-year covenant for you, ten years later, I will let him come back to this Qianniu Town to find you, as for how far he can cultivate in ten years, it depends on his personal creation." When the old man finished saying the last word, he disappeared along with the general, but the voice still lingered in the ears of several people, and it lasted for a long time.
After a long while, Fang Qi was suddenly stunned, and couldn't help but say to Gu San: "Big brother, do you say that the third brother will still know us in ten years?
"Yes. Gu San nodded firmly, "The third brother was born out of the pile of dead people, and I will always remember the scar on his neck." Speaking of this, Gu San couldn't help but turn to look at Wang Monkey, "Just like this knife mark on the left face of the fourth brother, it is an eternal mark in my heart, even if there is no these, but we still have the love between brothers, brothers will always recognize each other." ”
Fang Qi nodded, Wang Monkey heard Gu San say this, he couldn't help touching the scar on the left side of his face, wiped away his tears, and laughed out loud, it's a brother, how could he not recognize it?
The night was like ink, the moonlight was hazy, and the three brothers stood quietly in the empty alley, looking at the place where the general and the old man disappeared, silent, except for Ye Xue in Fang Qi's arms, dancing with both hands, babbling.
......
Time flies, like flowing water, eight years have passed in a blink of an eye.
About forty miles outside Qianniu Town, there are several thatched huts, backed by mountains and facing rivers.
The morning sun was still flickering under the clouds, like a bride about to be married, and the sky and the earth were surrounded by a hazy mist, but in front of this thatched hut, a young man was learning the way of a tiger pounced at this time, his hands leaned forward into tiger claws, and his feet shook into waves but never fell, as if a tiger crossed the stream, but the boy never moved a step, looking at his eyes, as if he could see through everything, and no subtlety could escape his eyes.
The boy was Fang Qi, these postures were all learned by him usually risking his life to watch tigers pounce in the mountains, although they were not as aggressive as tigers, but he found that after practicing these postures regularly, his physical strength increased a lot, and his strength was much greater than that of ordinary people.
Eight years have passed, Fang Qi is fourteen years old this year, as if he has grown into a handsome teenager, due to his long-term activities in the mountains, now Fang Qi has a height of one meter seven, compared to the ancient three, if it is not for the clothes that are too cold, walking out of the Lu is definitely a figure like a son of a family, eyebrows like a crescent moon, eyes like a sea of stars, the face of the Chinese character, like a rich and noble appearance.
Fang Qi just stood there like this, as if he hadn't moved, as if he hadn't moved, and he didn't know how much time had passed, until he heard a sound as crisp as a copper bell in his ears that he retracted his posture.
"Second brother, it's time to eat. A girl trotted out of the thatched hut with a towel in her hand, it was Ye Xue, who was ten years old this year, and when she came to Fang Qi's side, she was busy wiping the sweat on Fang Qi's face, and asked mischievously while wiping: "Honestly, how long have you been practicing today?"
"Just for a moment. Fang Qi smiled, took the towel from Ye Xue's hand, and said, "I'm not a child anymore, why do I need you a hairy girl to help me wipe my sweat?"
"Hmph, it's not, I got up and saw you practicing there, and you lied to me. Ye Xue snatched the towel from Fang Qi's hand again, and continued to wipe it: "Because I care about you, who asked you to be my second brother?" Ye Xue said with a smile, and then took Fang Qi's hand and walked towards the thatched house, "Let's go, eat first, otherwise the food will be cold." ”
Fang Qi smiled and followed Ye Xue towards the thatched house.
As soon as she entered the house, Ye Xue shouted, "Big brother, you secretly started eating again, and you didn't wait for me and my second brother." ”
At this time, Gu San was sitting at the wooden table and eating, now he is twenty years old, but he looks like he is in his thirties, his body is thin, although he is one meter seven, but he seems to be unwinded.
After Fang Qi washed his face, he sat down at the wooden table and said to Gu San, "Big brother, I'll go around the mountains today to see if I can catch a few decent wild things and come back to make up for you." ”
"I can't make up for this body. Gu San said with a smile, "You don't know what to do, you haven't eaten anything with the fourth brother for the eldest brother in the past few years? But the fourth brother will come back tomorrow after learning martial arts in Qianniu Town, so it's good for you to go hunt some wild things and come back." ”
"Yes. Fang Qi nodded, and then took the meal that Ye Xue had served.
Hearing that Fang Qi was going into the mountains to hunt wild things today, Ye Xue suddenly came to her senses, "I'm going too, I'm going to go, I'm going to follow my second brother to play in the mountains." ”
"You are not allowed to go anywhere, let me stay at home with my eldest brother, what is a girl running around all day long. Fang Qi said with a straight face.
"I'm going, and staying at home all day suffocates me. Ye Xue pouted and resisted.
Gu San smiled, "Second brother, just let her follow you around, you don't allow her to run around these days, it is estimated that she has long been tired of it, so I wonder when to sneak out of the city." ”
Fang Qi looked at Ye Xue, "You have to be obedient when you enter the mountain when the time comes, otherwise I will definitely spank you, do you hear?"
Ye Xue grinned, "Don't worry, I'm definitely obedient." ”
After breakfast, Ye Xue packed up everything and followed behind Fang Qi to prepare to set off.
"Stay safe and come back early. Gu San instructed in front of the thatched house.
"Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely bring my sister back safely. Fang Qi nodded, and set off directly towards the mountain.
Outside Qianniu Town is the vast mountain, no one knows how big the mountain is, how wide it is, the mountain is full of green towering trees, some people want to know how big the mountain is, so they set off towards the depths of the mountain, but it is rumored that those who have entered the depths of the mountain have never returned, I don't know whether the road died in the mountain or really walked out of the mountain to another world.
