Sword Master Online Chapter 2: : Parting
Old man Lu's residence is located in the east of the village, and it is a courtyard that looks very particular. The outer courtyard is surrounded by white walls, the courtyard is green with cypresses, and a two-story wooden building can be seen in the green trees and red flowers.
The corridor in the courtyard leads directly to the wooden building. In the middle of the building, there are four large characters written in seal script "Shuxiangmendi". There is a marble book case in the lobby on the first floor of the small building. The case is full of poems and paintings of celebrities, and there are a few excellent inkstones. The old man sat on the bamboo chair, caressing the calligraphy and paintings before the case, and the book stickers. A middle-aged man stood before the case. The middle-aged man was in his forties. He was of a sturdy figure with a dark complexion and reddish. He was dressed in burlap and linen. His clothes had many small openings that were obviously burned by the fire. This middle-aged man is Lu Yu's father, Lu Wenhua. Not long ago, the old butler came to him and said that his father had something to see him, and he rushed over without changing his clothes.
"Father, I don’t know what is the order for my son to come here? Is it because Lu Yu's kid has annoyed your old man again, let's see how his son goes back to clean up him." Lu Wenhua first respectfully greeted his father, and then immediately pretended to be angry and reprimanded Lu Yu.
The old man originally looked down at the calligraphy and calligraphy. Hearing what his son said, he put the calligraphy and calligraphy down, looked at his son with complicated eyes, and said angrily: "Who can annoy me more than you? Miss me, the scholar of Lu Family First, how did you give birth to an unfilial son who strikes iron."
When Lu Wenhua heard this, he hung his head down and said nothing. Lu Wenhua is an honest person, never quarrels with others, and obeys the father's words. Only in the choice of the future road and the father had a disagreement. He has liked ironing since he was a child, so he decided to become a blacksmith when he grew up. The old man was very annoyed by this, and he would fight almost every two or three days. As a result, it is still the same after more than ten years. The old man had no choice but to follow him to open a blacksmith shop at the entrance of the village.
"Every time you scold you like this, don't talk, keep your head down." The old man sees his son not talking and has nothing to do. I had to change the subject and said: "This kid, Lu Yu, is reading books about gods and ghosts again today. He is just like you. I can't change it."
Lu Wenhua saw that his father no longer entangled in the topic just now, he hurriedly followed his father's topic and said: "Father, I'll go back and fix him. Burn the book."
"This trick again? Does it work?" the old man said.
"This..." Lu Wenhua hesitated and couldn't say anything. He knew in his heart that it would be useless to hit a hundred times, but he didn't dare to speak directly to his father.
"Stop this, this is definitely useless." The old man directly denied this method. Then he said: "He has the same character as you, and he won't die if he doesn't hit the South Wall, then we will let him hit the South Wall."
"Ah---" Lu Wenhua looked at his father in surprise.
"When I was a county magistrate in my early years, I did hear that there are fairies in this world." The old man stood up, ignoring his son whose mouth was open.
continued: "I also learned about this incident by accident. Thirty years ago, I had just arrived in Fengxian County as the magistrate. One day, I received a report from the government that a group had gathered at the foot of Qixia Mountain. More than a thousand people. I thought it was a gathering of people to make trouble, so I hurriedly ordered three yamen. I went to Qixia Mountain to find out. We drove a day to reach Qixia Mountain. Once there, I was dumbfounded. Because of this thousand number Among the people, there are about three hundred children. The youngest are only four or five years old, and the older ones are only sixteen or seventeen years old. I sent the yamen to inquire and learned that most of them are villagers near Qixia Mountain, and one A small part of them are foreigners from all over the country. They have only one purpose here. I hope that their children can worship the immortals.
I thought it was ridiculous at the time, how could there be immortals in this world? However, these villagers said with certainty that every 30 years, at noon on August 15th, immortals come to Qixia Mountain to accept disciples. This is a matter uploaded by the ancestors, and every 30 years there are always several Accepted as a disciple. And the outsider said more mysteriously, saying that their ancestors were accepted as disciples by immortals. Later, their ancestors became immortals and left their ancestral precepts. Every 30 years, they brought their children to try their luck. Another fairy. Naturally, I still didn't believe it, so I decided to stay overnight and wait until tomorrow noon to see what happened. At noon the next day, the sky suddenly sounded "whoo---hu", and three people in white appeared from the eastern sky. Two young men next to each other stepped on a sword and flew with a sword. A middle-aged man with a kind eyebrow and good eyes, a robe and no sword under his feet, stepped directly in the void. The three of them hovered over the crowd, and suddenly more than a thousand people knelt down to worship, shouting: "Welcome to the immortals!" The three slowly landed, and one of them drew his sword with a wave, and suddenly the surrounding trees burst into a circular shape. space. Then the old man began to use the fairy method to distinguish children with or without fairy destiny. "When the old man talked about this, he suddenly stopped talking. Instead, he looked at his son and wanted to hear his thoughts.
"Father, what do you mean..." It took a long time for Lu Wenhua to come back to his senses, healed his thoughts, and said, "Father, do you want Yu'er to worship a fairy as a teacher?" The old man nodded, still Did not speak.
"Father, once you enter the immortal gate, does it mean that you will never see Yu'er anymore." Lu Wenhua asked carefully with red eyes.
"I think it should be." The old man sighed, and then said, "Oh! This is nothing we can do. Yu'er's longing for the way of immortals since childhood, we can't stop it. If Yu'er has no fairy fate, I think he will give up too. Studying with peace of mind, the top pick in the future is just around the corner. If there is a fairy relationship, it will be a great opportunity for Yu'er."
"Father, I know all this. But I can't bear it."
The old man looked at his son’s red eyes and shook his head, “I’m so willing. However, you must understand that if it is an eagle, it should be soaring in the blue sky instead of hiding in the chicken coop.” Lu Wenhua listened. Understand the meaning of the father's words, so parents don't want their children to live better. As long as the children can be better, what is the point of being sad. Lu Wenhua thought of this, looked at his father, and nodded heavily.
The old man nodded in satisfaction and frowned again.
"Father, what's the matter." Lu Wenhua quickly asked when seeing his father's different color.
"Do you know how many of the more than 300 children had fairy fate?" The old man said meaningfully. Lu Wenhua didn't interrupt, he knew his father would continue talking.
The old man stretched out two fingers, and said worriedly: "There are only two. And it's the immortal that came out of the original ancestor."
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and then the father and son discussed some specific matters about going to Qixia Mountain. After a while, the old man felt a little tired, so he waved his hand to signal that his son could withdraw. Lu Wenhua bowed to his father, slowly withdrew to the door, and gently closed the door.
The old man was lying on the Grand Master's chair. The Grand Master's chair made a "creak---creak" sound because it was too "old". The old man whispered: "Yu'er, is this idea good or bad for you?"
Lu Yu, with Erlang's legs upturned, lay leisurely on the bed, looking through the window at the sunset in the sky for a while like a horse galloping, and another like a red flower blooming. Lu Yu asked himself in his heart: "Are there really gods living above this cloud layer? What is the world outside of this cloud layer? How big is this world? If I could personally see how good the world outside the cloud layer would be. ."
"Yu'er, what are you thinking about?" Lu Wenhua interrupted Lu Yu's thinking.
Lu Yu heard that he was his father, and he muttered in his heart: "It seems that the storm is still coming." But he calmly got out of the bed and stared at his father's face. See some signs. Father's face looked the same as usual, and it seemed that there should be no physical pain.
"Yu'er, tomorrow your grandfather is going to take you out to the far door, so be prepared." Lu Wenhua said calmly.
"Ah---Where to go?" Lu Yu became excited immediately. He hasn't been out a few times since he was a child, and he has never been to the town to secretly buy a copy of "Sou Shen Ji". If the father wants to go far, he must not go to town, but to go farther.
"Qixia Mountain." Father replied briefly.
"Where is that? How far is it from our village?"
"Qixia Mountain is a mountain, about a hundred miles away from our village."
"Why are we going there?"
"Because your grandfather wants to take you to see the immortals, to see if you have a relationship with immortals and enter the path of immortals."
Lu Yu's heart jumped wildly when he heard this. It turns out that there are immortals in this world, and I can also become a fairy and travel the whole world.
Lu Yu got more excited as he thought about it, and quickly pinched himself a few times to see if he was dreaming.
Lu Wenhua looked at his happy son, coughed lightly, and said, "Don’t be too happy too early, do you have a fairy relationship or two things. We have to say in advance, if you If there is no fairy relationship, I will study hard after I come back. If I am not admitted to the Jinshi, I will no longer be allowed to read books about gods and ghosts."
Lu Yu didn't even think about it, but he blurted out: "Don't worry, I can definitely become a god."
Lu Wenhua had no choice but to take this son, turned around, and when he walked to the door, he left a sentence: "I will finish dinner, come to my room." After speaking, he walked out of the room.
Lu Yu looked at his father's thick back, the excitement in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly felt like crying. Although Lu Yu was only twelve years old, he was particularly fond of reading under the influence of his grandfather. He read almost all his grandfather's books and learned a lot from the books, and gradually matured, often with the eyes of adults. To look at things. Lu Yu clearly realized that once he entered the path of immortality, he would be separated from his family, maybe several years, maybe ten years, or even forever. This is what Lu Yu is most afraid of facing, but his heart to Dao is also very firm. He had to comfort himself, maybe he became a god, he could turn his family, or everyone in the village into a god.
At dinner, Lu Yu saw that his mother's eyes were red and swollen. He guessed that he should know that he might also be cultivating and was crying~IndoMTL.com~ his father was still expressionless, but Lu Yu knew in his heart that his father must be very reluctant to give up. Mother made all Lu Yu's favorite dishes tonight. Her mother kept picking vegetables for Lu Yu until she couldn't afford them. Lu Yu also worked very hard, eating three times the usual amount of food in one go. Because only in this way, the mother will be happier.
After dinner, Lu Yu came to his parents’ room. His mother was packing up the baggage of tomorrow’s journey. His father was copying and writing before the book, not knowing what he was writing.
"Yu'er, come here." When the father heard the footsteps, he raised his head and saw that it was his son coming in.
"Oh." Lu Yu responded and came to his father's side. I saw my father put together a thick book. Then he wrapped the book in cloth and put him in Lu Yu's hands. Lu Yu looked at his father with puzzled eyes.
"Being my father has nothing to do, I can only strike iron in my life. This notebook records some of my iron experience and some of my thoughts. Although it may not be of any use to you, this is the only gift that my father can give you. "Father said calmly.
Lu Yu's eyes were filled with tears, but he never cried, and hugged the book tightly in his arms.
"Old man, what are you doing? You have to make Yu'er unable to cry." The mother looked at her father reproachfully, and waved at Lu Yu, and said, "Come here, come to my mother and see what my mother does for you. New clothes." Lu Yu walked to her mother obediently, and her mother gestured with her clothes on Lu Yu, muttering: "Listen to my grandfather on the road, don't run around, pay attention to safety outside..." Lu Yu I fell asleep in the mother's babbling.
Early the next morning, a carriage drove out of the village and galloped into the distance quickly.
