Chapter 8 Encouragement from Father
Why did you get involved in grandpa again?
Chong Xiu was puzzled by Chong Yong’s problem, but he still followed Chong Yong’s words and replied: “Didn’t the old injury recur? Isn’t it saved?”
Chong Yong: "The old injury... can also be said to be the old injury, but the main reason should be that during the War of Restoration, he was affected by the enemy's use of the national treasure "district resentment"."
Chongxiu: "Direction?"
Chong Yong: "I don't know the detailed ability of Di Jin Gong. What I know was told by your grandfather before his death. Even your uncle, third master and others don't know it.
That day, I was only three years old. One day, your grandfather suddenly told me that he regretted giving birth to me, and then told me... "
With such a thrilling beginning, Chongxiu was attracted by the story of Chonghong.
After listening to Chong Yong’s story, Chong Xiu summarized it, and the content was roughly:
Grandpa was young and went to join the army. In the last battle, the enemy used the national treasure "Earth Resentment" curse trick. Most of the people who were captured died on the spot. Later, the Guangwu Empire learned some information about "Earth Resentment" from the documents left by the enemy. Grandpa Chongxiu also learned through the relationship between the Yan family: it turns out that people who have suffered "Earth Resentment" curse will have a significant lifespan!
The total lifespan of those who are cursed will be reduced by half, and those who have survived by half will die on the spot.
Not only that, if those who survive have offspring, their offspring will be inherited to curse, and because the newborn is more vulnerable, the lifespan of the offspring of the cursed will be shortened to one quarter!
The average lifespan of non-cultivators in the Tianming Continent is 100 years, and practitioners can only increase their lifespan from the realm of inspiration.
In other words, if you cannot break through to the realm of inspiration at the age of about twenty-five, you will... die!
Even if they break through to the realm of inspiration, their lineage will only be one-quarter of their time to break through to a higher level.
It is precisely because of this that Chong Yong became a martial arts ill maniac who was not concerned about anything other than cultivation at a very young age.
He was unwilling to become the partner of his marriage with the Yan family, and he also had this consideration.
If you don’t practice, you will really die!
Do you dare not practice?
Chong Xiu was suddenly shocked by the bad news that "if you don't practice, you will die."
But soon, he suddenly thought of a key point and asked, "You knew this news at the age of three, so why do you still have to have a baby?"
Chongyong didn't seem to expect Chongyong to ask this question, and he did not intend to have a child because of this factor.
However, Chong Yong couldn't tell Chong Xiu: I picked it up.
Not to mention anything else, since it was picked up, wouldn’t the heavy sage be without the pressure of cursing?
After thinking about it, I recalled sixteen years ago...
That day, Chonghong dragged his broken body and his messy steps swaying in the snow. Then he saw another basket hanging on a crooked tree covered with snow, and a child screaming inside...
Speaking of Xue, Chongyong remembered the girl who was just taken back by the guards sent by her family not long ago. She liked to wear snow-white clothes, and her skin was as white as snow...
Chong Yong looked at the lost child and thought of Cumin alone.
Everyone is lonely, let’s spend time with each other.
In this way, Chongyong couldn't help but adopt the child.
Since Chongyong never took care of the child and could not feed him, he directly let the child eat barbecue made of wild beasts, which caused the child to have indigestion and did not get stinky for several days.
As a result, Chongyong also attributed the responsibility to the child's "genius" and said that the child was like a Pixiu, only entering and not leaving, so he named the child "Xiu" and his surname was "Zhong".
......
Recalling the little things that happened in the past, the dull expression of the rushing expression became gentle. Finally, he sighed with emotion as he recalled the beautiful times: "It's just that I couldn't hold it back..."
Chongxiu twitched his lips and complained: "I thought Dad, you are an honest person. My mother is so beautiful? She is so beautiful that even a silly person like you... The honest person can't control it? And it's just a hit!"
Chongyong felt that his son had misunderstood his meaning, but such a misunderstanding was also good, at least it covered up the loopholes in his story.
After Chongxiu solved the confusion, he believed his father's words.
After the meal, Chong Xiu quickly discovered a problem. After feeling the changes in his body, he estimated that the food he ate in this meal could not be enough for him to complete a cycle of cultivation!
As for the reason why I was able to practice six times before, it was the foundation left by the past.
Chongxiu's brain was instantly activated: "According to such a meal, even if I eat it as soon as I digest it, I can only eat five meals a day, and only practice five times a day. It takes about 170 days to practice, which is nearly half a year, almost six months!
The unified examination usually starts in early June every year.
Every year, the family will take annual exams on the first day of the first month after spring, that is, the first day of March.
This is also convenient for understanding the level of cultivation of the tribe members who are about to take the unified examination before the unified examination.
It's the third day of March now!
Although I knew from my dad that my birthday was in winter, he said he forgot about the specific day...
But according to the unified examination rules, only age is counted, but only the year of birth is not dependent on the specific date of birth. In other words, as long as the age of eighteen after the birthday of that year, it will be calculated as 18 years old, so I will take the unified examination next year!
That is to say, fifteen months.
In this way, after I recovered my meridians, I had only nearly nine months left to take the unified examination.
Nine months...what can I reach?
Forget it, everyone has another chance to take the make-up exam anyway. If the grades are not good, you can go there next year!"
In fact, this opportunity to make up for the exam actually has little impact on the final result.
This make-up exam opportunity is usually prepared for those who accidentally miss the exam.
Because examiners decide whether to accept the candidates through the potential shown by the candidates and what kind of resources they will be given after admission.
The scoring standards are very detailed, and they even take into account the candidate's birthday. If the birthday is relatively low that year, the examiner will estimate what level the candidate will be in a few months, and then appropriately add points.
If you fail the exam in the first year, you will not make much progress in the second year, because the examiner will deduct certain points based on your practice time, and the final result will be similar to last year. Even because the students who have already enrolled in the same year have less valuable further study time, it is likely that the score will be lower than last year.
Unless someone can really undergo a complete transformation within one year, such as the case where the Chongxiu achieves ten times the cultivation speed during the retraining stage, which is more than ten years in a year.”
The biggest worry about Chongxiu now is his own life...
"It took me thirteen years to reach the state of nourishing the spirit, but I need to go in the next nine years, or even earlier. After all, I cannot be sure whether my original life span can exceed one hundred years. I will practice again before the age of twenty-five, and there will be a tenfold acceleration before the second level of nourishing the spirit. However, after the second level of nourishing the spirit, there will be no such benefit!
Can I really practice as scheduled to reach the state of inspiration?!
Is it really too late?
No! You can't sit still and wait for death!
Since this kind of food cannot provide energy quickly, I will change to better supplies, which will restore my meridians one day earlier, and there will be more hope for every extra day of practice!
"By the way, I haven't used up my training resources this month!"
After breakfast.
Chongxiu: "Father, I want to practice basket...I want to practice!"
Chong Yong felt relieved that his son, who was disabled and strong, had such ambition, nodded, and then took Chong Xiu back to the room.
Well, I just brought it over.
The side effects of the meridians being cut off cause the nervous system of Chongxiu to be oversensitized for a while, and any nerve signals are amplified to the "severe pain" level, which requires Chonghong to help with analgesia.
However, it only takes a few days for the human body to adapt and block out these wrong signals.
However, before this, the heavy Xiu was temporarily disabled.
......
Soon, Chong Xiu entered the state of cultivation with the assistance of Chong Yong's [Analgesic Technique].
Before this, Chongxiu placed a pile of bottles and jars beside the bed, and there were half of the training resources issued by the family this month. This is a ready-to-eat nutritional supplement called "Yanyuan Lu" made of medicinal materials that Chongxiu is considered very precious to the Chongxiu family.
The kind that can be eaten in Kaifeng is also added with royal jelly produced by the king among bee spirit beasts, which is quite delicious.
After Chong Yong saw Chong Xiu take out half of the Yangyuan Lu, which is more than half of the "monthly offering" in the other tribe's spiritual states, he just thought Chong Xiu forgets that he can't replace sleep through meditation and practice in the mental state. He has to go into a long retreat.
But Chong Yong did not intend to remind him, because he was afraid that mentioning the "Shen Shen Realm" would stimulate his son.
Moreover, it’s good for a son to be motivated. Of course, a father cannot pour cold water on this when making the child build up his confidence.
Anyway, my son will find out soon.
Chapter completed!
