Chapter 35
Chapter 35
Perhaps it was because of his growing age, or perhaps because he was relaxed from the bottom of his heart. Cheng Kun slept extremely peacefully this time. In his impression, he had not had such a deep sleep for a long time, until he heard the voice calling him to get up. Only then did he open his eyes in a daze.
The other party's figure was only reflected in the misty eyes for a moment, and then they were covered again by leaden eyelids.There seemed to be a funny and helpless sigh from the other party in his ear, and then there was a flurry of noises, as if someone had left——Cheng Kun rubbed his warm legs under the quilt in satisfaction, and continued to sleep soundly.
Unexpectedly, not long after he closed his eyes, there was a sudden warm and moist feeling on his face, something wet stuck to him, and he wiped his cheeks one by one.Cheng Kun came to his senses in a jerk, and was so bored that he uttered two "huh" and turned his head to avoid the thing that was wiped on his face.
Opening his eyes, he saw that it was Yang Dingtian who was wiping his face with a towel in his hands, he stopped when he saw him refusing, and said with a smile: "Are you awake?"
"..." The feeling of wetness on the face is not annoying because of the warmth.But being treated like a child like this still made Cheng Kun feel a little uncomfortable all over.He touched his face with his hand and said, "Brother, why are you..."
Yang Dingtian smiled and said: "What a dream? Your face is covered with saliva - get up quickly, your master is still waiting for you to have breakfast in the dining hall!"
Cheng Kun suddenly had black lines on his face. Is there any correlation between good dreams and saliva? !However, this rubbing did wake him up a lot. He rubbed his eyes and stood up, and then he felt a light pat on the back, and immediately Yang Dingtian praised him: "Not bad! It's rare that you didn't stay in bed. Today If you want to go down the mountain, the morning training will be waived, and I will send you off after dinner."
Cheng Kun was caught off guard and staggered, and tensed his back muscles reflexively: the vital parts were touched so easily, which made him subconsciously alert.The next moment, after thinking about his current situation and the identities of the people around him, he slowly relaxed his guard and bent down to pick up the shoes on the ground.
With this movement, he felt something slipped out of his neck. Cheng Kun reflexively lowered his head to look at it, and was instantly stunned.
That string of emerald green, round and lovely, is the Buddhist beads picked off last night and placed under the pillow!
At this time, Yang Dingtian also bent down, and was startled when he saw the pendant hanging from his neck: "Why are you wearing this thing again? Isn't it too heavy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Dingtian noticed that Cheng Kun slowly turned his head to look at him, his almond eyes were wide open, and there was an inexplicable look in them.He couldn't help being startled, and was about to ask again, but Cheng Kun lowered his head again, stretched out his hand and pulled the jasper Buddha bead as if he didn't care, and said, "It's okay, I'm afraid I forgot to bring it—let's put it on first!"
His voice was as usual, and with his head lowered again, the thin bangs covered most of the expression on his side face, making it hard to see clearly, so Yang Dingtian didn't take it seriously, just smiled and said: "I'm afraid I'll forget ? I will always remind you—Okay, put on your shoes and go, I’ve mixed the water, and go to wash your face, just rubbing is not enough!”
Cheng Kun responded in a low voice, and said, "Senior brother, I want to change clothes, so go wash up first!"
Yang Dingtian thought that the child was shy, so he nodded and went around the screen and walked out.Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, Cheng Kun sat up slowly, pulled the Buddhist beads on his neck vigorously, and after confirming that he couldn't pull them off, the corners of his lips curled up somewhat mockingly.
After all, it was given to him by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva himself, how could it be so easy to pick it off?He thought too naively before - Cheng Kun caressed the plump and round jasper Buddha beads, narrowing his eyes slightly: Forget it!So what if I carry this thing all the time?Anyway, he picked it up in this life, and he doesn't intend to follow the old path of his previous life, so let's hang on to it!
Ignoring the feeling of unhappiness in his heart, Cheng Kun put on his clothes, shoes and socks and got off the ground, stuffed the Buddhist beads into the neckline again, and then walked towards the door.
……
A very depressing breakfast, partly because of the failure of the first attempt to turn around fate, partly because of the little episode in the morning.Cheng Kun has been sullen since he walked into the dining hall, and the dull expression on his small face seems a little unexpectedly cute.
Yang Dingtian probably guessed what he was thinking, and didn't stop him. He just sat beside him with a smile, took a bun from time to time, or had a casual chat with Tao Yushan. After breakfast, he asked Cheng Kun to check it. Is there something left behind, ready to send their master and apprentice down the mountain.
It was said that they were sent to the foot of the mountain, but Yang Dingtian sent the two of them a long way, and stopped until he reached the official road. Before leaving, he could not avoid all kinds of instructions and care, especially when he gave Cheng Kun a few words, which could not be concealed in his words concern.Cheng Kun was depressed: If you are really worried, why not go to Taojiazhuang with them?He didn't see that Yang Dingtian's injury was really serious.Even if there is, the big deal is that they just slow down and go, and they are not in a hurry to go back anyway.
It's a pity that Cheng Kun really couldn't say this kind of cold and selfish words at the moment, so he could only follow Tao Yushan away sullenly, looking back at the outstanding figure who was getting farther and farther away from them, and felt impulsive for countless times. He stopped in his tracks and threw himself back—it was the first time Cheng Kun had experienced this unprecedented sense of concern.Even if he left his junior sister to wander the rivers and lakes before, he had never felt such a strong feeling.
This feeling of being out of control is terrible, at least for someone like Cheng Kun who is used to being calm, it is not a good thing.In order to prevent himself from worrying too much about gains and losses and losing his normal mind, Cheng Kun simply turned his head cruelly to prevent himself from looking back.Just like that, he didn't want to part with him until he passed the corner of the official road and the master and apprentice got on their horses, and then he looked back reluctantly for the last time, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything from this angle.
Taojiazhuang is far away in Shandong, and it is far away from Beishan where they were before. It takes about five days to travel back and forth on fast horses.Tao Yushan and Cheng Kun did not have a deep relationship between master and apprentice. After being reborn, Cheng Kun even disliked this cheap master in various ways, so this journey can be described as extremely silent. The two of them hurried on their way except for eating and resting. , actually never talked a few words.
The weather turned warmer this day, and at noon, the sun was so hot that people were hot all over.The two masters and apprentices drove for a while, both felt profuse in sweat, and the water in the kettle was drunk early.
So after seeing a simple tea house in front of them, the two of them chose to go there to rest for a while.
It is close to the official road, and it can be regarded as a necessary place for people to come and go.Although the teahouse is simple and simple, there are many people in it.Tao Yushan and Cheng Kun chose a corner table and sat down. Tao Yushan ordered a few side dishes, a pot of weak tea, and two bowls of rice, and sat down to drink the tea.
Due to the large number of customers coming and going, coupled with the hot weather, and it was noon, Xiao Er was a little too busy, and the food delivery was much slower than usual.The master and the apprentice had nothing else to do but go on their way, so they didn't care too much. Tao Yushan simply walked to the side of the horse, took off his and Cheng Kun's water bags, went to the kitchen and gave Xiao Er a copper coin for filling. Full.
Cheng Kun was sitting alone at the square table, drinking the bitter rough tea with squinted eyes, his eyes looked bored but observed the surrounding environment vigilantly.This is the habit he has developed for many years in the rivers and lakes in his previous life: seeing all directions, listening to all directions, and paying attention to clues that can be grasped at any time. Only in this way can he ensure his own safety to the greatest extent and thus seek the greatest benefit.
Hearing this, he really heard an interesting piece of news.
The people at the table next to them came earlier than them, and their outfits were a little weird, and some of them had darker eyebrows than ordinary people.Cheng Kun could tell at a glance that those people came from the Western Regions, and when he heard them talking in a low voice, they only vaguely mentioned words such as "Kunlun" and "Kongtong".
The voices of those people came from the Kunlun School at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Coincidentally, what they were talking about happened to be related to the Fang family in Bojia Town.Although what they said was very cryptic, and they didn't mention the words "demon religion" in their words, Cheng Kun could easily hear what they meant, and his heart moved: "Could it be that the 'before' Fang family This tragedy has something to do with the Kunlun faction?"
Cheng Kun thought it over carefully, he didn't know much about that tragedy, and he didn't know what happened to Yang Dingtian afterwards.Later, Mingjiao obviously took several actions against Kunlun School and Kongtong School, and his good apprentice Xie Xun even indirectly obtained Kongtong's secret book "Seven Injury Boxing Manual" because of this. Among the six major sects, it seems that only the Kunlun and Kongtong sects have been targeted.
Of course, his help was indispensable. The good apprentice Xie Xun just faithfully carried out his plan.At that time—Cheng Kun shook his head amusedly to himself: Those are all past events, thinking about them now will only increase troubles, it’s better to forget them!
Listening carefully to the conversation at the next table, it's a pity that his internal strength is mediocre now, and what he can hear is only a few words.Cheng Kun couldn't help feeling itchy, secretly hated that he had lost the deep internal strength of his previous life, and had to start everything from scratch.Even so, he still tried his best to prick up his ears, lest he miss a word—he had a hunch that those people must have something to do with the destruction of the Fang family.Thinking about it now, those people who chased him and Yang Dingtian "back then" were able to persevere like this, coupled with their great skills, they were obviously not ordinary people.If it is said that the two factions of Kunlun and Kongtong joined forces, it is not impossible.
It's a pity that the people at that table were also very cautious. Not only were the voices of the discussion very low, but their words were also extremely cautious.Cheng Kun tried his best to listen for a long time but didn't hear anything. He was annoyed when he suddenly felt that the light in front of him dimmed, and a person stood beside him in the backlight, covering most of the sunlight, and bowed to him: "Amitabha, my little brother!" Donor, can you do me a favor?"
The sound of the Buddha's chant in his ears made Cheng Kun shiver, and he turned his head reflexively, and saw a man wearing a gray monk's robe.The old monk holding the Buddhist beads was standing beside him with his hands clasped together, bowing his head slightly in salute. Due to the backlight, he couldn't see his face clearly, only the gray beard hanging down from the man's chin.
Beggars!
This idea came up reflexively in his mind, and Cheng Kun narrowed his eyes and stared at the other party. Now when he sees the monk, he has some inexplicable feeling in his heart: It seems that he has nothing to do with Buddhism in his previous life or this life. The string of Buddhist beads that I wore, this feeling of "bad fate" became more obvious.
It just so happened that at this time Xiao Er brought them the food they had ordered before, accompanied by Tao Yushan who had gone to fill the water before. Seeing the old monk standing by the table, Tao Yushan had the same reaction as Cheng Kun, and he opened his mouth and said: "Master is Want to get alms?"
The old monk smiled slightly, bowed to Tao Yushan, and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is empty-handed, the benefactor is polite!"
As soon as he said this, Cheng Kun couldn't help trembling, subconsciously squeezed the chopsticks in his hand, and raised his head to stare at the old monk: "The four great monks of Shaolin, the empty view with the highest knowledge and wisdom!"That cheap master in his previous life and the second half of his life!
