Songyan City, the backyard of Chen's residence.
In a spacious and elegant room, Chen Xi, covered in bandages, climbed out of bed. After being in a coma for nearly two months, he finally woke up.
After experiencing a life-and-death struggle, he now has a calm expression on his brows, his eyes are open and closed with a deep look, and a hint of unique open-mindedness.
In fact, his slightly lanky figure is not weak at all. The muscles outlined by the tight bandage are sharp and angular, like copper poured into iron, full of indescribable explosive power.
After staggering for two steps in the room, Chen Xi was already out of breath. This was a sign of excessive loss of Qi and blood and a serious injury to the essence. He shook his head, but he was not very frustrated in his heart.
The power of the Taiqing Jade Liquid Pill was too overbearing and powerful. After swallowing it twice in a row, the meridians in his body were almost broken, and his Dantian was seriously injured. It was completely empty and dry, with no real energy at all.
Fortunately, the damage to the Daoji was not serious. As long as he took care of himself slowly, he could fully recover. He planned to start a retreat to repair the Daoji in two days when his body was almost fully recovered.
Pushing open the door, Chen Xi came to the courtyard.
This courtyard is no different from that of ordinary people. It is surrounded by lush vegetation and there is a flowerbed next to it, which is planted with dozens of beautiful flowers, including several kinds of camellias that are as beautiful as blood. , very much like Manzhu Shahua Bianganhua.
Groups of blue, yellow, and cyan butterflies fluttered among them, with graceful postures and indescribable agility in the sunlight, making everything around them seem peaceful and quiet.
Chen Xi enjoyed this feeling very much. He had not been peaceful like this for a long time. From childhood to adulthood, he had been racing against time every moment, supporting his family, taking care of his grandfather, and supporting his younger brother to go to school to practice swordsmanship... all without relying on him to make talismans. Earning a few thin yuan stones to support me, although these days are difficult, it is better than being stable and practical. However, after obtaining the cave in the jade pendant, his fate became turbulent.
Participating in the Southern Barbarian Trials, entering the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarians, killing the Li clan, being hunted to the vast sea desert, participating in the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition... Every experience is filled with killing and blood, and is filled with murderous intent and danger. That feeling. Just like he was on the run, wandering around without a place to settle down, his nerves were tense all the time, alert to all possible dangers.
This feeling is very tiring.
But now, sitting in the courtyard of his Chen family, he suddenly felt like he was rooted on the ground. This feeling made him feel peaceful and comfortable from the inside out.
"How wonderful it would be if there were no disputes or hatred, and we could just quietly stay in the family and watch the family rise little by little..." Chen Xi stood in front of the flower garden and sighed softly in his heart.
He knew that this tranquility was only short-lived for him. Only by practicing hard and becoming stronger could he ensure the tranquility of the entire Chen family. Only by becoming stronger can the Chen family rise little by little in stability and tranquility and lay an immortal foundation.
Only in this way can grandpa have a smile on his face, right
In an instant, Chen Xi's heart became firm again. His path was never destined to be peaceful.
Squeak!
The unlocked courtyard door opened, and his younger brother Chen Hao walked in.
"Brother, how are you feeling now?" Chen Hao also felt very happy when he saw his brother standing in front of the flower garden, full of energy. After his brother woke up a few days ago, he was completely relieved. Now what he is worried about is his brother's body. When will I get completely better
Chen Xi smiled: "It's okay, I was just looking for you."
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"In a few days, it will be your birthday, right? I have a gift to give you." Chen Xi said with a smile. When he spoke, there was already an iron sword in his hand, and the sword contained a majestic aura. It means that the sword has a faint light, as if there is a long river of history flowing in it, recording the vast world and various situations in the world.
"I got this sword from the Evil Demon Cemetery. It should be a sacred weapon from the Confucian sect of ancient sages. The aura of awe-inspiringness on it is as majestic as the sea, which is exactly suitable for your awe-inspiring swordsmanship." As he said that, Chen Xi had already put the iron in his hand. The sword was handed over.
Chen Hao took the sword, but was not in a hurry to investigate. A little more tears appeared in the corners of his eyes. He never expected that after so many years, he had almost forgotten his birthday, but his brother still remembered it and even took the trouble to prepare a gift for him.
This reminded him of how when he was a child, his family lived in extreme poverty due to their poverty. But no matter what, every time he had his birthday, his brother would always use magic to prepare gifts for himself. Although they were just small things, they were still very rare. But he still remembers it to this day.
What saddened him the most was that his brother never seemed to celebrate his birthday, never, so much so that even he couldn't remember what day his brother's birthday was.
Chen Hao is not a person who loves to cry. On the contrary, except in front of his grandfather and Chen Xi, he has never shed tears, no matter how big the setbacks and hardships he encounters.
But now, he just wants to cry loudly. He feels that in front of his brother, he is still like a child who has not grown up. He is taking care of him everywhere. He has to fight all the hardships alone, but he always enjoys the benefits.
"Hurry up and try the power of this sword." Chen Xi patted Chen Hao's broad and strong shoulder. Only then did he realize that his younger brother was already as tall as himself.
"There's no need to try. The gift from my brother is the most precious thing in the world to me, not even a fairy weapon can compare with it." Chen Hao carefully put away the iron sword and said with a smile.
Chen Xi was speechless. He had heard this sentence many times. When he was very young, whenever he gave his brother a gift, he would say this. Who would have thought that his brother is now such an adult and still acts like a child? He was in a trance and sighed.
"Father." At this moment, a childish and clear voice suddenly sounded at the gate of the courtyard.
Chen Xi was stunned, and looked up, only to see a little guy about one year old, but with the head of a tiger, standing staggeringly next to the gate, and next to the little guy, Fei Lengcui was standing there with a smile. .
"Is this your son?" Chen Xi looked at his younger brother with shock in his eyes.
"I forgot to tell you that Leng Cui was pregnant when I left Liuyun Sword Sect, and she gave birth to Yu'er not long after returning to Songyan City." Chen Hao scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Chen Yu..." After muttering to himself, Chen Xi could no longer hold back his surprise, burst out laughing, opened his arms, and said to the little guy: "Yu'er, come here, let uncle hug you!"
The little guy blinked his eyes, obviously afraid of the uncle covered in white bandages. He hesitated and looked at his mother beside him.
"Go quickly, that's your uncle. Yu'er must remember to listen to his uncle." Fei Lengcui smiled softly and encouraged little Chen Yu.
"Well, Yu'er listen to mother." The little guy nodded and walked towards Chen Xi crookedly with his little feet. After all, he was only less than a year old, so his walking was unsteady and he walked a little hastily. , when he was approaching Chen Xi, he tripped and fell forward, his eyes closed in fear.
But the next moment, the little guy was picked up by a pair of big hands. It was Chen Xi. He held the little guy tightly in his arms, his eyes turned into lines with laughter, and he kept saying over and over again: "Yu'er, good Yu'er , I have a heir to the Chen family. Grandpa must be very happy to know about it underground... "
"Uncle, there's a lot of blood on your body." Xiao Chen Yu pointed to the blood stains on the bandage and said seriously: "My father said that men don't shed tears when they bleed. When I grow up, I will bleed a lot of blood like your uncle." , absolutely no tears.β
The little guy's expression was full of mistakes, which made Chen Xi laugh again. He fell in love with this tough little guy even more. With a move in his heart, he took out an elixir and said, "Yu'er, this is a gift from my uncle. I promise. Uncle, wait until you grow up before eating it, okay?"
This elixir was as big as Xiao Chen Yu's fist, and it was crystal clear. There were streaks of bright divine clouds surging inside it, and there were even faint sounds of dragons roaring and tigers roaring. It is the Taoist Yuan Dan that contains the earthly path.
Seeing this elixir, Chen Hao and Fei Lengcui were both shocked and couldn't believe it. "Is this the Daoyi Yuan Dan? Brother, this thing is too valuable. No, I can't give him this gift."
Both of them declined hastily. The value of a Daoyi Yuan Dan is absolutely immeasurable, and it is a rare treasure that can only be found but cannot be found. Seeing that Chen Xi wanted to give such a thing to his son who was less than one year old, How can the two of them agree
"Do you like Yu'er?" Chen Xi ignored them and asked the little guy directly.
"I like it, it looks like candy, but the candy is not so big and beautiful." Xiao Chen Yu's eyes flickered, curiously watching the streaks of rays of light flowing endlessly on the surface of Daoyi Yuandan, which was very interesting.
"I'll give you this candy, okay?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"No, my father said that no reward comes without merit, so Yu'er can't have this candy." Xiao Chen Yu was obviously very greedy, but after thinking for a long time with his head tilted, he still shook his head and refused.
"Well, you can help the uncle with his shoulder. Even if you have done a good job, this candy will be yours. How about it?" Chen Xi really liked this little guy so much. While he was hugging the little guy, he I have almost understood this little guy's basics and qualifications. He is definitely the best choice. As long as he practices diligently in the future, he will also be a great seedling.
Little Chen Yu didn't hesitate anymore. He waved his fist to help his uncle's shoulder. His expression was very serious, but in Chen Xi's eyes, there was an indescribable cuteness.
After teasing the little guy for a while, Chen Xi handed him over to Fei Lengcui, and she took him out of the courtyard.
"Brother, that Dao Yi Yuan Dan is too precious, just give it to him like this, this..." Chen Hao still felt it was inappropriate and said.
Before Chen Hao could finish speaking, Chen Xi interrupted: "Do you know how those geniuses who are famous all over the world today are cultivated? It's because the sects and families behind them have trained them in their respective ways when they were young. The elixir he planted helped him cut off his hair and cleanse his marrow, conceive and nourish his body, and laid a solid foundation unimaginable by ordinary people. Only in this way can he make great progress in cultivation and leave others far behind. I gave Yu a Daoyi Yuan Dan. Son, itβs nothing.β
Chen Hao opened his mouth, but said no more. He had already seen that his brother's mind had been made up, and it was useless to persuade him.
The two brothers chatted for a while. Seeing a hint of fatigue on Chen Xi's eyebrows, Chen Hao immediately left and asked Chen Xi to have a good rest while he went to attend to some family matters.
Looking at the back of his younger brother as he hurriedly left, Chen Xi nodded secretly. He had already seen that his younger brother now had the ability to stand alone. In addition, there was the Tai Qi Dust Sword Formation to protect the family. As long as no powerful person from the Earthly Immortal Realm came to invade, , enough to cope with everything.
"When I regain my strength, maybe I can leave with peace of mind..." Chen Xi pondered for a long time, walked back into the house, sat cross-legged on the bed, and placed a jade slip shimmering with golden light in front of him.
Although he is not able to practice for the time being, he can take advantage of this time to learn some skills, and the jade slip of the skills in front of him is the half-step martial arts - "Great Annihilation Fist" obtained from the Qianyuan Treasure House. γ.
