The content of the letter is not too long:
"Hong'er, you must have grown up a lot when you read this letter. Your parents are very pleased that your brothers are growing up strong. But my parents are sorry for you. If this letter is opened, then It means that something must have happened in the family. It seems that the old enemies are chasing after you again. I am afraid that your parents will have to separate from you. Dad left this letter in advance because he was worried about this kind of thing happening. Now that Hong'er has reached this age, he can To distinguish right from wrong, it is time to explain to you the situation of our Tianji family.
It's my and your mother's fault. Before your brothers were born, the two of us had a grudge against the Shigure Sect, the most powerful sect in the martial arts world. The specific reason is not yet for you, Hong'er, to know, but you must understand that as the number one sect in the martial arts world, the Shigu Sect is extremely terrifying regardless of its influence on the mainland or the strength of its many masters. Yes, once he is wanted by them, it means that he will no longer have a place to stay on this Douwu Continent.
Your parents are well aware of the power of the Shigu Sect. Back then, your mother came up with a clever plan to hide it from the outside world and settle down in Nanyue Village, which is closest to the Shigu Sect. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest. In a short time, they would not have guessed that we would take such a risk and hide directly under their noses. But I know in my heart that this is just a temporary solution. Over the years, Shi Yuzong has been relentlessly searching the continent for the whereabouts of our family. If it weren't for the fact that he was distracted during the war with Tianmingwu Mansion and diverted a lot of people. Attention, this is how we were lucky enough not to be noticed.
Now that this day has finally come, I hope you, Hong'er, can understand your mother and I's helpless actions. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, the two of us would not take this step and leave alone to draw the enemy's attention away, so as not to draw the Shigu Sect's attention to you two. You must remember that when we get rid of the pursuers behind us, we will definitely come back to look for your brothers; what you have to do is to take care of yourselves, and remember during this period that you must not easily reveal your life experience to outsiders. Just wait patiently for your parents to come home.
There is another thing that is also very important. Dad has noticed very early that you have been interested in the method of cultivation since you were a child, and you and Xiaofei's qualifications are extremely rare in the entire martial arts world. If you persist in practicing diligently, you will definitely be able to do it one day. Achieve something.
It's just that there are many difficulties in practicing cultivation. Even if you have the talent, if you are unwilling to endure hardship and have no faith and determination, you will eventually become an ordinary person. Your mother and I also relied on our excellent talents when we first entered cultivation. It was smooth at first, but after that, we also had to overcome many difficulties before we could achieve our current strength. Your mother didn't want to see your brothers suffer what I and I went through, so she never agreed to my teaching you the method of cultivation. But I have always firmly believed that spiritual practice has always been an excellent way to sharpen one's body. This is not only an improvement in cultivation and strength, but also an exercise in a person's will. If you can endure some hardships as a child and cultivate a persevering and diligent character, This will be of great help to you throughout your life.
In the end, your mother also acquiesced, and you can start learning how to practice when you are twelve years old. The journey of cultivation is long and there is no end in sight. No matter how many years of cultivation the seniors in the martial arts world are, they are just explorers who started a little earlier on the path of cultivation. You must always firmly believe that as long as you keep working hard, you will eventually be able to catch up or even surpass them; you can respect and learn from those who are stronger, but don't be easily discouraged because you started later than others and your cultivation is not as good as others. Remember not to give up halfway.
Dad has no time to teach you how to practice, nor do you want to do so. You have to try everything yourself before you know your own shortcomings. Without your parents’ guidance, you may take detours and take the wrong path in your subsequent practice, but I hope you can work hard to overcome these setbacks through your own thinking and determination. My parents also had no one to guide them in their early cultivation. They relied on their own failed experiences in the dark to gradually realize the Tao method that was most suitable for them.
Of course, exploring on your own does not mean being arrogant. I just don’t want to pave the way for you all at once, causing you to develop the bad habit of getting something for nothing. Find a suitable master to guide you, ask for advice humbly and not be ashamed to ask, and find your own path. The only thing dad can teach you is: the foundation of practicing Taoism is neither supreme talent nor powerful martial arts, but a heart; practicing is to go against the will of heaven and to be with the people in the dark. The process of unremitting struggle against rules and order, and finally getting rid of or even transcending them; only by maintaining an enterprising heart that never gives up on difficulties, a curious heart that explores the unknown, and a heart that loves the strong and the rules of heaven and earth. Only with a deep sense of awe can you go further on the path of spiritual practice.
What your parents left for you in the box is a soul-gathering stone that can help you practice your soul, and a storage bag that contains some supplies that can help you practice. The cultivation of soul power is as important as spiritual power. This will be explained to you naturally when you have a master. This soul gathering stone is a strange spiritual treasure that your mother found in the snowy mountains. It will wait for you to practice and become spiritual. After gaining strength, you only need to inject spiritual power into the Soul Gathering Stone, and you can use this to cultivate your soul. The same goes for the storage sachet. You only need to inject spiritual power into its seal to open it. It contains some weapons that your parents have used before. It is most suitable for people like you who have just started to practice. The choice of weapons is also important. Destiny, choose a weapon that is most comfortable for you.
Finally, my father and mother sincerely hope to return to you two as soon as possible. At the same time, we also hope that by the time you come back, Hong'er, you will live up to your father's expectations and achieve success in your studies. Fei'er is still young, so as an elder brother, remember to take good care of him. And Fei'er is not quite like you. Although in my opinion his cultivation talent is not much worse than yours, he preferred reading and literacy when he was a child. Dad doesn't know what his attitude is towards cultivation; if one day he can reach At your age, you can ask Fei'er for his opinion first as you do today to see if Fei'er is willing to start practicing. If Fei'er is opposed to practicing, respect his choice. Then it will be up to you to protect his safety. .
I hope you two can stay safe out there, and your parents will definitely try their best to come back to you as soon as possible and love you forever. "
The sentences in the letter are simple and unpretentious. There is not much space in the tear-jerking confession of longing, but more of supervision and expectations for the two brothers. But it was such a simple letter that both of them had red eyes after reading it; after not receiving any news from their parents for two years, today they suddenly saw such a letter that their father had left behind, which was truly emotional and full of feelings for the two brothers. The deeply concerned letter was already a gift from God to the two young brothers. In both of their minds, their father's usually majestic but yet somewhat loving and strong cheeks appeared in their minds.
After a while, the two brothers finally regained their composure, carefully resealed and straightened the envelope, then solemnly put it into the wooden cabinet beside them, and then turned around to study the other two items mentioned in the letter. However, as the letter said, these two things require the injection of spiritual power to activate. Now, no matter how hard the two brothers try, they have not changed at all; the crystal stone has always been dim in color and unresponsive. The seal cannot be opened no matter what.
At this time, the two finally began to discuss the contents of the letter. "I never expected that our family's enemy would be the Shigure Sect, the most powerful sect in the martial arts world." Although the brothers did not understand the background of the Shigure Sect at all, they had not even heard of many sects in this remote place. Name, but the reputation of being the number one in the martial arts world cannot be deceiving. Thinking of such a powerful enemy searching for the family day and night, both of them couldn't help but feel a little pressure and fear in their hearts.
"Dad said in the letter that he wanted me to start practicing at the age of twelve, and now it's not too far away from this date. I already have a lot of interest in practicing, and I also learned some body-training techniques under my father's guidance. The only problem is that my father asked me to find a suitable famous teacher; now that Donglin Village is located in a remote area, there are not many people who know how to practice, and the few martial arts masters in the village are just mediocre people who know nothing more than some outsiders. Kung Fu, I don’t know where to look for it.”
"It seems that we can only try our luck in Dongsheng Town. Although it is a place where fish and dragons are mixed and the rules and regulations are in vain, it is a prosperous town after all. There are many practitioners. If you are lucky, you may be able to find a suitable candidate. It's just that the distance there is Donglin Village is quite a distance away. From now on, if I go back and forth every day, I’m afraid I won’t have time to take care of you, Xiao Fei.” Tian Jihong hesitated.
"It's okay, Brother Hong. Don't worry." Tianji Fei is very sensible and doesn't want to worry her brother. "When we first got here, Brother Hong, you were only a year or two older than me now. It was so difficult at that time. We have survived the days. Now I can take care of myself. There will be no problem at home alone. When I grow up, I can practice with you, Brother Hong, and then we will move in together. Go to Dongsheng Town to prevent you from running away every day, Brother Hong!"
"Well, tomorrow I will go out to Dongsheng Town to see if I can find a suitable martial arts school to become a disciple." Tianjihong had no choice but to make this decision, but at this time, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind When I saw the figure next to the inn during the day, I couldn't help but think that if I was lucky enough to be able to become his disciple, maybe my problem would be solved. But then I thought about it, not to mention that I had never met or knew him, I had not even seen his face clearly, so where could I go to look for him? In the end, Tian Jihong had no choice but to give up the idea and began to prepare for the next day's journey.
