"Zeng Youren! Stop! Little bastard! Don't run away!"
Zhang Huiyuan would never have thought that she would give birth to such a naughty son ten years ago. Ever since Zeng Youren was more than a year old and could take two steps on the ground, this baby has been restless. From being "active" to "naughty" to now being "lawless", it's really a headache.
Even a teacher like Zeng Hao who likes persuasion and education has already taken advantage of his own son. First his brain collapsed, then he got rattan sticks, and now several bamboo sticks have been broken.
Useless!
For this reason, Zhang Huiyuan and Zeng Hao gave birth to another son five years ago as a reminder. At this time, Zhang Huiyuan was pregnant again. In three months, the third child was born. It is said that the third child was finally pregnant with a daughter.
However, the second child did not have the talent to practice Taoism like Zeng Youren did, and he did not even seem to have the talent to practice martial arts. Zeng Hao was the happiest about this. He prides himself on being a well-educated scholar. He would be very depressed if none of his sons followed him and majored in learning. Now that the second son cannot practice Taoism or martial arts, isn't this just a matter of following him in his studies?
And contrary to Zeng Youren, Erzi has a very stable temper. At a young age, he can calm down and listen to Zeng Hao's teachings on calligraphy, and he is very smart. In terms of knowledge, the five-year-old second son is much more literate and proficient in famous articles than Zeng Youren.
Early this morning, Zeng Youren ran out of the house. It was said that he had made an appointment with others to go down to the river to fish for loaches, but he couldn't stop him.
But touching a loach? This is also the reason why Zeng Youren was only beaten and not imprisoned. Because although he was naughty and lawless, he didn't have any signs of "bad habits" in his body.
I don’t play around with money, I don’t go to curious flower houses, I don’t go to bully the market on the street, I don’t climb over people’s courtyard walls, and I don’t hang around in teahouses where I make myself look greasy all day long.
It is better to say that he is the eldest son of a top wealthy family than he is a naughty kid from an ordinary family. Climb trees to dig out bird's nests, go down to rivers to catch fish and shrimps, and take slingshots everywhere on the road. If a cat or dog is unlucky, they will be hit all over the head with a stone.
It is the type of dog that hides away from anything it sees.
However, Zeng Youren is not without anyone who can survive.
"Mom, wait until I catch the loach and cook it for you tonight! Haha, yeah!"
Zeng Youren, who had just run out the door and was turning back to yell proudly at Zhang Huiyuan, hit someone in the chest. The other person didn't move at all, and he was bounced back and sat on his butt.
"Where are you going? Why don't you take me with you?"
"Ah? Shi, Uncle Shitou, are you here? I-I'm not going anywhere. I just feel that there must be some distinguished guests arriving today. I-I'll go out to greet them."
Zeng Youren, who was fearless, saw that the person he bumped into was Wang Nian, who had appeared in front of him at some point. The pride and joy on his face disappeared in an instant. Instead, there was a kind of horror like a mouse seeing a cat.
When it comes to being naughty and mischievous, Zeng Youren is the younger brother compared to Wang Nian. The Zhang family and the Zeng family have no way to deal with Zeng Youren, but Wang Nian has it. Whether it's a golden hoop, speech skills, or a shut-up charm that can make people speechless all day long, they can't deal with the restless naughty kid. It is first-rate and easy to use.
Once you have a stubborn temper, a second time, a third time, a dozen times, the iron pestle has been ground into a needle for you, why are you still stubborn? Not really stupid.
After touching Zeng Youren's head, Wang Nian, who is now twenty years old, can't see the appearance of the naughty kid who was the same as Zeng Youren or even better. He has dark skin, a tall build, and his hair tied back casually. Only the smile in the corner of his eyes makes him not look so stereotyped.
"Sister, I'll take Youren out for a walk." Wang Nian bowed and saluted Zhang Huiyuan, who had chased him to the door. The latter smiled, nodded, and told Wang Nian not to leave until he finished his work and come back for dinner.
Don't worry, Zhang Huiyuan. With Wang Nian, Zeng Youren can't make trouble. Moreover, every time Wang Nian came down the mountain, he came to take exams and teach his skills. In the third year after Zeng Youren accepted the Tuna Method, that is, when he was three years old, Wang Nian would come down every three months, giving instructions and corrections each time, and slowly instilled the Taoist methods into Zeng Youren's mind. in mind.
His talent was good enough that he could use breathing techniques to absorb spiritual air and nourish his body and meridians since he was born. Even though he practiced unconsciously, he had only completed the first threshold of channeling air into a whirlpool at the age of three.
After that, there was spiritual stone supplementation. At the age of six, he successfully crossed the Qi Entraining Realm and entered the Xuan Vein Realm. After that, his cultivation speed did not slow down at all. Now at the age of ten, he is already in the late stage of the Xuan Vein Realm. This cultivation still did not rely on the blessing of the spiritual energy of the blessed land on the cliff mountain. He has never even eaten Pei Yuan Dan.
It is already on the premise of slowly laying down the basics. It can only be said that Zeng Youren's talent is amazing. Coupled with the fact that he has a higher starting point than others, this makes him look like a cultivator now.
A large group and a small group were walking along the path. The Zeng family was not in Langyuan City, but on the outskirts of the city. Not long after walking, the area near the Miscellaneous Academy was filled with pure mountain scenery. You could even easily find a small stream with many small fishes in it all year round. Zeng Youren often fished for fish and shrimps here.
Wang Nian found an open place to stop. He looked at the bitter-faced Zeng Youren next to him with a half-smile and said, "Come on, first try the talismans I made you familiar with last time. Just pick up a stick and draw it on the ground for me." Look. If you make a mistake, I will give you a golden hoop with a stick of incense. How about playing with it? Are you confident that you will get the reward? "
"Uncle Shitou, can we talk to each other? Is it interesting for you to scare my kid? Besides, there are cobblestones everywhere in this place. How can I draw a talisman on the ground with a stick?" Sensing Wang Nian's deliberate attempt to make things difficult, Zeng Youren I dare to be angry but dare not speak.
"Oh? Does that mean you want to give up the exam directly?"
"No, no, no, I'll paint! Isn't it okay if I paint!"
I saw Zeng Youren cursing in a low voice, picking up a small wooden stick, and then began to draw symbols on the ground. But his feet and hands are not just as simple as drawing talismans.
As soon as his feet shook, the uneven and stony ground beside the stream surged up with ripples. After the wave hit, the area within a radius of about two feet became as smooth as a mirror, and all the ups and downs were eliminated. And the ground becomes firmer than before, making it easier to draw things on it.
But the ground is flat and firm, and it's not like a small stick can be used to write and draw freely. But the wooden stick in Zeng Youren's hand seemed like a sharp blade, leaving traces on the ground as easily as cutting tofu. And the traces were clear. The gravel that was supposed to form an obstacle actually disintegrated into powder the moment it came into contact with the wooden stick.
In less than a stick of incense, the three kinds of talismans were finished in Zeng Youren's hands.
"Yes, you are making rapid progress. You won't get the reward this time. Also, try your Five Elements spells again, just use the ones I taught you before, and let me see how fast your conversion is."
