In the early morning, a classroom in Licorice Hall was very quiet. It turned out that the master who was teaching had finished his lecture and asked the students to study by themselves. When the bell rang, they could leave on their own. The master sat on the top and read a book, while the students sat on the bottom and reviewed.
Chen Hongjing was sitting in the seat at the far side. He had just finished copying the usage of several medicinal herbs in the book, and then looked out the window and remembered what Old Man Yong said to him at Fan Mansion last night.
Last night, after Old Man Yong finished talking about the matter and came out, he let others go ahead while he wanted to talk about something with Chen Hongjing.
Old Man Yong looked at Chen Hongjing and said calmly: "My child, do you know why you fainted when you faced Lao Zhao on the day you came back, and when you woke up, you couldn't find any injuries on your body?"
Chen Hongjing shook his head: "I don't know, but I had a dream at that time, dreaming that I was attacking Master Gu Tianhai. I had asked Fan Xiaoxi and Gao Zhuli before if this happened, but they said that I did Dreaming."
"What if I say it's not a dream?" Old Man Yong looked at Chen Hongjing, who was a little shocked. Old Man Yong didn't intend to hide it from Chen Hongjing: "The reason why you fainted is because Old Zhao put a ray of soul into it. in your body."
"That ray of soul took over your body during the time when you fainted. You did attack Mrs. Gu Tianhai, but it was not your soul that attacked. It was that ray of soul that attacked."
"That ray of soul is also the former disciple of Master Gu Tianhai, one of the masterminds of the burning of Wuchen Pavilion, and Hong Zhishun, who is also known as the genius of Licorice Hall. At this moment, that ray of soul is still in your body. "
"But don't worry, it's just a wisp and it won't affect you. I've checked it for you. He's in a resting state and won't wake up for a while. Through vocal therapy in the past few days, he has also regained consciousness. Strengthen your body and soul."
"Even if he wakes up again, he can't take the initiative over your body."
Old Man Yong looked at Chen Hongjing who was still digesting, patted his head to bring him back to his senses, and continued: "After class tomorrow, come to me on the mountain and I will teach you how to practice boxing."
Chen Hongjing sighed and no longer looked out the window, but looked back at the notes he had just taken. Although there is only one class today, he has not yet fully accepted what Old Man Yong told him last night.
For example, why did Lao Zhao use his body as a container to put a ray of Hong Zhishun's soul into his body? Since Hong Zhishun's soul is still in his body, when will Old Zhao come back and snatch it away?
While still thinking about these questions, Old Man Yong appeared at the window: "You didn't know when the bell rang after class? Are you still thinking about what I told you last night? Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. Even if Old Zhao comes Even in front of me, he can't hurt a hair on your face. I said so."
Chen Hongjing was lying on the table and said angrily: "How can you not think about this? What you told me last night, I have been thinking about it now. Why did you choose me? And, what do you think he is? What do you want to do?"
"How do I know what he wants to do? I'm not the worm in his belly. I'm just here to take you up the mountain. Let's go, kid. If that old Zhao really comes one day and brings There are some difficult ghosts, you can at least fight with them for one or two fights before you die." Old Man Yong said with a smile.
Chen Hongjing cursed directly in his heart, ah, yes, yes, if you can fight him for one or two moves and then die, that's not death. Either die early or die late, so I would rather die early and give birth early.
"By the way, were you afraid that I was in danger, so you deliberately went down the mountain to find me and protect me up the mountain?" Chen Hongjing asked.
Old man Yong shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm here to teach. I've finished my class, and I came to see you on the way to go up the mountain. By the way, I haven't eaten the chicken you cooked for a long time. Senior brother is a little greedy. , do you want to show off your skills once?"
Chen Hongjing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Let's go buy ingredients first."
Old Man Yong whistled happily and climbed in through the window to help Chen Hongjing pack his things.
"By the way, which master are you here to teach?"
"Lectures for your principal and vice principal."
"Wow, you take their class by yourself, do you really know so much?"
"Of course, in the Fan Mansion, you just showed your skills a little bit. You may not be able to learn all about me in a lifetime."
"Then where are the principal and vice principal?"
"Go and catch Lao Zhao."
"Oh, then I can rest assured. The two big guys are taking action, and I can practice boxing with peace of mind."
"As long as I'm here, can't I let you practice boxing with peace of mind?"
"That's not true. By the way, senior, why do you like others to call you senior brother?"
"It's none of your business."
The two of them just walked out of the Licorice Hall door, bought things, and went up the mountain...
After going up the mountain, Old Man Yong did not ask Chen Hongjing to boil water for cooking, nor did he immediately teach Chen Hongjing how to practice boxing. He first asked Chen Hongjing to recite the four-note Qingxin Jue taught to him by Wang Yingdian several times. Then, practice the basic boxing and palm techniques you usually practice by doubling them. Chen Hongjing asked what happened after practicing, and Old Man Yong replied, "Have you finished practicing?" Have you started practicing? Just these two sentences made Chen Hongjing shut up.
Chen Hongjing had no choice but to step aside, cross his legs, and start reciting the Four-note Qingxin Jue. Although it was said that he was thinking about the heart, in fact, he was still thinking about what happened last night, and what he missed more was another ray of soul in his body.
Chen Hongjing shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Just as he slowly entered the state and his heart slowly calmed down, the sound of 'ping ping ping ping' came from the outside world, the sound of chickens flying and crowing, and the crazy old man's movements. He has the ambition to fight with that chicken for three days and three nights.
Chen Hongjing finally couldn't bear it anymore, opened his eyes and cursed loudly: "I asked you to stop for a while. You are so noisy, how can I calm down and recite the incantation? They all told me to chop the chicken for you first, You don’t want to.”
Chen Hongjing shook his head. The scene he saw when he opened his eyes was a mess. The condiments fell on the ground. The pot climbed up the tree at some point. Old man Yong grabbed the chicken with both hands. The chicken was still going on. Peck his head.
Old man Yong let the chicken peck his head and said slightly disappointed: "Can such a small noise disturb you? It can be imagined how poor your concentration is. You went to Fan Mansion to study for a few days. Have you forgotten all the things? You can’t do two things at once, calm down and really feel what you have to do.”
Although there was some truth in what Old Man Yong said, Chen Hongjing always felt that he was blaming himself for the voice he made and just looking for some excuse to shirk the past. Chen Hongjing no longer paid attention to this crazy old man who was not normal for a moment. He should calm down as he said, ignore external objects, and finish reciting the inner mantra.
But it's easier said than done. It really seemed like Old Man Yong and the chicken were going to fight for three days and three nights, and they really didn't stop for a moment. Well, at this moment, Chen Hongjing strongly believed that all this was done intentionally by the crazy old man.
Two hours later, Chen Hongjing began to slowly enter the state. While reciting the Heart Art, a gust of palm wind came from the left, and Chen Hongjing only had time to open his eyes. There was a loud "pop" and the whole person was blown away.
After receiving a slap, Chen Hongjing shook his head from side to side and stood up. Four old men appeared in front of him. He endured the pain on his face and the buzzing in his head. He pointed at one of the old men and said directly: " Fuck you, old man, I have tolerated you for a long time. You little bitch, you will die for me."
Chen Hongjing ran towards one of the old men, Old Yong, as if he was drunk. He felt that he was running as fast as the wind, but in fact, to Old Man Yong, he looked like a drunken man. The kind that doesn't know where to go and might fall to the ground at any time.
Chen Hongjing thrust his foot into the air in front of him. His left foot could no longer support him and he fell to the ground with a "crash". But he still cursed Old Man Yong relentlessly, and he fainted while cursing.
When he woke up again, he was soaking in potion in a large medicine vat, with a hot towel on his forehead. Chen Hongjing took off the hot towel and applied it to his left face. He hissed, his head was still dizzy, and the left side of his face hurt so much. It was estimated that it would take at least three days for the slap mark on his face to fade away.
In fact, there was no slap mark on Chen Hongjing's face at all. Old Man Yong used the wind of his palm to knock Chen Hongjing away. If he really used a slap, Chen Hongjing would probably be half dead.
Before Chen Hongjing could complain, Old Man Yong said: "The enemy will not let you prepare everything before they come to hunt you. Do you think Zhao Jishi, the principal and deputy principal of Licorice Hall, and the ten major universities were dispatched to study together? , so easily let the soul of Hong Zhishun, who is known as the genius, in your body, and then evaded the pursuit of the top ten universities without hesitation? "
"After all, Zhao Jishi was also known as a genius back then, and he was also known as the number one genius in Ganshu City. Even the pharmacists in the holy land of literature invited him to attend lectures. However, he refused them all. That’s all.”
"What I want to tell you is that no matter how I attack you illogically, don't get angry and learn to calmly think about every opportunity to escape. Even if the chance is one in ten thousand, You can’t give up.”
Chen Hongjing was a little helpless and sighed: "Although what you said is true, can you tell me in advance? How old am I? It's you I'm facing now, not the old Zhao you said. And When Lao Zhao comes, he can at least say a few words. If he comes to your place, he will definitely give you face. At that time, didn’t I know? "
Old man Yong smiled and said: "You boy, you are really good at talking. When I first met you, you were not that good at talking. But you are right, when he comes to my place, he will give me more or less But maybe the people around him won’t give me face. Since I’ve been beaten, let it pass, and let’s start doing that from tomorrow.”
"Why don't we finish our dinner first? What do you think? Hongjing kid?" Old Man Yong picked up the chicken with his left hand and said with a smile.
Chen Hongjing sighed, jumped out of the medicine vat, took the chicken from Old Man Yong that he had fought with for so many rounds, and began to deal with it...
After dinner, Chen Hongjing lay on the ground, staring at the stars in a daze. He was thinking that if a meteor suddenly crashed down, and then found out that it was not a meteor, but Lao Zhao came to catch him, then the crazy old man would definitely take action. The crazy old man actually beat Lao Zhao very well. It was hard to separate, and soon the principal and vice-principal arrived, but from Lao Zhao's side, the masked man and Li Shehu also arrived.
Both sides punched each other and kicked each other. At this moment, Lao Zhao found a gap and pointed his fingers directly at his forehead. He fainted again, and Hong Zhishun woke up, and woke up forever, and He lost his body and fell asleep forever...
The more Chen Hongjing thought about it, the more frightening it became. He quickly sat up and began to recite the Four-note Pure Heart Jue. After seeing this, Old Man Yong said with a smile: "Didn't you just start practicing formally? What? Are you afraid that Old Zhao will descend from the sky later and take you away?"
Chen Hongjing closed his eyes, nodded and said: "Yeah, I'm afraid that you can't beat him, and you will ask me to help you later. I hope I won't kill him with one punch, so that I can help you win more It’s time to avenge me.”
Old Man Yong smiled: "You have no class tomorrow, right?"
Chen Hongjing shook his head: "No, if there is, it will not be stable. Knowledge is important, but life is even more important."
Mr. Yong nodded: "If you have this intention, then there is no need to change tomorrow. Come directly now."
"Come on, come on. This time I will not..." Chen Hongjing just opened his eyes, but before he could finish speaking, he fainted again. Old Man Yong's punch was directly in front of Chen Hongjing's face. The fist stopped at the tip of his nose, and Chen Hongjing fainted...
After Chen Hongjing woke up, it was already dawn. He walked out of the cave and found that the crazy old man was not outside. Instead, he saw Wangai tinkering with breakfast outside. The buns he bought from the market were placed one by one on the plate.
"Hey, wake up. Senior Brother Guitian has classes in the morning and went to Licorice Hall early. Eat some breakfast first, and I will accompany you to practice later." Wangai picked up a bun and threw it towards Chen Hongjing.
Chen Hongjing grabbed the bun, took a bite and said, "By the way, Wangai, where is your current state?"
Wang'ai thought for a while and said slowly: "I haven't really understood it, but I guess there should be a fourth or fifth realm. In fact, tell me, I don't even know what I am now, sword cultivator ? Warrior? Qi refiner?"
Chen Hongkong nodded to express his understanding. Wangai had this kind of personality since he was a child, and he just let things happen. Only do what he likes. If he doesn't like it, he will give up even if he is very talented. Although he doesn't know his position yet, when he chooses something he likes, even if he doesn't understand it at the moment, one day he will study it thoroughly.
Chen Hongjing continued to ask: "Then how long do you plan to stay?"
Wang'ai counted the days and said with emotion: "Well, after all, I have been in Ganshu City for a while. I probably helped you practice for a few days. I will go back to Lingxian Mountain first to see if Zhong Xiaofan is back. If so Before he came back, he went directly to Longhu Mountain to find him."
Chen Hongjing looked puzzled: "Can we enter Longhu Mountain?"
"Why can't you? Even if you can't, just find a young master guarding the door and tell him that he's looking for someone and ask Zhong Xiaofan to come out." Wangai said slowly.
Suddenly, Wangai remembered something, took out a square-cun object from his sleeve, and then took out a letter from the square-cun object and handed it to Chen Hongjing: "Did you write home before? This time I Go home, they said that the reply to you was originally intended to be sent to the inn, but when they saw me, they gave it to me directly."
When Chen Hongjing saw the letter, he stuffed the buns in his hands into his mouth. He didn't care about the oil stains on his hands and wiped them on his body. He took the letter and ran to the side to read it.
Wang'ai saw this scene and shook his head. Is that the case? At most, it was Su Fuzi and Liang Siheng who wrote it for him. Why hide so far away? Can you still write love words to him?
Chen Hongjing opened the envelope and looked for a person's handwriting. He saw the end of the letter and finally found the handwriting he wanted to find. Although it was only one sentence, after reading it, he had a smile on his face.
I saw him folding the letter in half, putting it properly in his clothes, looking up to the sky and laughing: "Practice! Practice! I want to practice!"
Wang Ai was confused. Master's words and Liang Siheng's words were so powerful? But it's no wonder, apart from him, there are only a few people who are good to him in his hometown. Wangai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I will practice with you."
There is only one sentence in the handwriting, and what it says is: I am going to practice. I hope you can also complete the things you like. When we meet next time, I can still eat the chicken cooked by you. I also hope that next time The first time we met, you and I became better people.
