The river is not wide, only a dozen feet long, and the water is clear and flows extremely slowly, reflecting the surrounding mountains as if it were a pair of ink paintings.
By the river, a man was sitting cross-legged on a stone, with a fishing rod in his hand, his eyes staring at the float, which was shaking slightly, and apparently there were fish teasing the hook.
Before the fish eats food, they mostly test it a few times to determine whether the food can be eaten.
Suddenly the float sank violently, and the fishing rod in the man's hand shook violently, and the rod bent rapidly, and the fish took the bait.
"Hahaha, I was so lucky today that I caught a big fish. " The man laughed thunderously, his voice still so heroic, full of debauchery and uninhibited pride, and that man was the Zhenyuan Marquis Long Tianxiao of the Fengming Empire.
A big fish more than two feet long flew out of the water and was slowly pulled out of the water by Long Tianxiao. The fish was very powerful and took a few breaths before being pulled by Long Tianxiao. Long Tianxiao used a net to pocket it.
This big fish weighs more than a dozen kilograms, which makes Long Tianxiao very happy. Obviously, this big fish is difficult to catch.
"Now Xiaoyu is a blessing. " Long Tianxiao looked at the big fish and said with a smile.
"Well, I also have a good taste." A voice sounded beside Long Tianxiao.
Long Tianxiao's big hand shook, and the fishing rod almost fell, and turning his head, he saw a man in a black robe, looking at him with a smile.
"Chen'er, you. . . . . are back? "
Long Tianxiao dropped his fishing rod, grabbed Long Chen's arm with both hands, and shook it hard, his tiger's eyes reddening.
"Good boy, getting stronger and stronger."
With the power of "Long Tianxiao", how could it shake Long Chen? Although Long Chen left elixirs to Long Tianxiao to regulate his body, Long Tianxiao's talent is limited after all, and he still has not broken through his innate nature.
"Well, it doesn't work if you are not strong. If you are not strong, you will be overwhelmed. How can you protect others from the wind and rain? " Long Chen smiled.
When Long Chen was very young, Long Tianxiao gave Long Chen the meat every time he ate. Long Tianxiao often said at that time that men need strength. Only when they grow strong can they protect others from the wind and rain.
Now the old story is mentioned again, but Long Chen is no longer the child who pestered his knees, and has grown into a truly strong man.
"Have you seen your mother and your sister? " After being excited, Long Tianxiao opened his mouth.
"I have seen it. I have seen my mother and sister before I came to see you. " Longchen Road.
"That's good, let's go home, I'll tell you, it's really time to come back today.
In this small river, a species called golden-billed catfish is produced, which is different from ordinary catfish. Ordinary catfish live in dirty water, eat carrion, and eat other fish for a living. The meat is the same as mud. Not to mention the bad taste, the meat There is also a peculiar smell, which is impossible to eat at all.
But this golden-billed catfish here, specializing in the upstream wild fruit rhizomes, has a meat like garlic cloves and a first-rate taste that is incredibly delicious.
I was lucky today, and I actually caught such a big fish. It seems that God knows you are coming back, so he specially favored me, haha. . . . . " Long Tianxiao laughed and was very happy.
God, if you know I'm coming, you probably won't even be able to catch grassroots. Long Chen smiled bitterly in his heart and reached out to help his father carry the net pocket. In addition to the golden-billed catfish, there were also some miscellaneous small fish, including a dozen. It looks like it's enough to eat.
"Since the golden-billed catfish is so delicious, do you want me to get a few more? " The dragon dust probed the way.
With the current ability of "Dragon Dust", it is effortless to catch a few fish. If you want to eat, the entire river can be caught clean.
"No, no, no, this is boring. Fishing is a kind of fun, not a means of survival. This should be distinguished. "
Long Tianxiao walked side by side with Long Chen and said slowly:
"Although your cultivation level is now higher and stronger, your spiritual realm has been stagnant. This is not a good thing. "
"Dad, it seems that you are going to teach me your experience. " Long Chen couldn't help but be happy and said with a smile.
"How? If your cultivation level is higher than your father's, will you look down on your father?" Long Tianxiao looked at Long Chen, and a joke appeared on his face.
"Where do I dare? In front of you, I have always been a hit and scolder." Long Chen smiled.
"Stinky boy, I used to beat you and scold you, wasn't it because you were too naughty? If it weren't harsh and you were used to it, you would have gone to heaven a long time ago." Long Tianxiao snorted coldly.
Long Chen smiled and didn't talk back. He was scolded by his father a few times. That was a blessing.
"The river is only a few miles away from the thatched house. It arrived quickly. As soon as I got home, I saw Xiaoyu still playing with the elixir. If the elixir is shaken hard, the power of the elixir inside will fluctuate and slowly float in the air.", will bloom with more gorgeous brilliance.
The little guy had a great time playing, and he actually ignored Long Tianxiao and Long Chen, leaving Long Tianxiao speechless for a while.
Outside the thatched house, there was a stone table with four stone stools. Looking at the four stone stools, Long Chen knew that one of them was his own, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Even if he's not there, parents and sister, think about him every day, and he hasn't come back once in so many years, really shouldn't.
As soon as Long Tianxiao came back, Mrs. Long ran out and picked up the golden-billed catfish. Seeing such a large golden-billed catfish, she was very happy and asked the two of them to drink tea first. She went to stew the fish.
Long Tianxiao took out a teapot, put it on the stone table, and made a large pot of tea. Long Chen hurriedly said: "I have better tea here."
"Tea does not distinguish between good and bad. The key depends on the state of mind of tasting tea. Fish does not distinguish between size. The key depends on what you want? " Long Tianxiao shook his head and still made tea with his own tea leaves.
"Chen'er, you are too tired. I see endless exhaustion from your eyes.
You need to adjust, otherwise, if this continues, the spirit will be tight and will not get catharsis, wisdom will become occluded, encountering things, unable to make correct judgments.
Although I don't know what you've been through, your spirit is too depressed and you'll have problems over time."
Long Tianxiao couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken when he looked at Long Chen. Long Chen's face looked like wind and dust, and the fatigue in his eyes could not be concealed.
However, Long Chen has grown up, he has his own world, and Long Tianxiao can no longer protect him from the wind and rain.
"I have indeed encountered some things recently. There are too many bad things, which makes people feel irritable and a little out of breath. " Long Chen nodded.
Returning to Tianwu Continent, he saw the destruction of Xuantian Daozong. After that, powerful enemies emerged from all sides and wanted to kill Longchen. Almost the entire Dongxuan Domain was chasing Longchen.
What's more, there are peeps at Dangu, the ancient clan, the alliance of ancient families, and the Blood Killing Hall. Although there has been no movement in the evil way, Long Chen knows that they must be brewing something.
This is the most terrifying thing. The enemy on the surface can be guarded against, but the enemy behind it can easily not take action. Once it takes action, it will be a sure kill, and it will never give Long Chen any chance to breathe.
Being stared at by "so many powerful enemies, if it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have gone crazy a long time ago. I'm not under much pressure, so it's strange".
"You are tired." The dragon roared.
"um, a little." Long Chen nodded.
"Just stop when you are tired "
"but can't stop. " Dragon dust smiled bitterly.
"There is nothing that can't stop. Do you still remember the first time you learned to swim? " Long Tianxiao poured a cup of tea for Long Chen.
Long Chen hurriedly took it, but a strange color appeared on his face: "How could I not remember that at that time, you were so cruel that you threw me into the pool and ignored me. I was choked, and my stomach floated like a ball. On the water, for this matter, I remember that my mother had a serious quarrel with you. "
Long Tianxiao nodded and said: "Yes, your mother feels sorry for you, but there are some things that have no time to come step by step and can only be used by extraordinary means.
So you learned to swim in two hours, and although you were only two and a half years old at the time, I believe that you should remember everything in those two days clearly."
"Of course, I remember clearly. What I remember most clearly is your black face, which looks like the Lord of Hell and is very scary. " Long Chen complained somewhat authentically.
Long Tianxiao was really too harsh on him at that time, and if Long Chen himself had a son, he would never bear to do so.
Long Tianxiao shook his head and said: "It's a pity that your memory is still not deep enough. Do you remember it? I told you very seriously at that time:
"Life is like drowning. The more panicked, frightened, and desperately struggling you are, the closer you are to death.""
Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned. At that time, Long Tianxiao did say this, but it took too long and Long Chen forgot a little.
But when Long Tianxiao mentioned it at this time, Long Chen suddenly thought of something.
"You are drowning in the sea now. You are struggling desperately to keep you safe for a while, but you cannot get out of the crisis and see no hope.
So physically and mentally exhausted, you can't see the shore, you can't see the island, in this case, the harder you work, the more you consume your precious physical strength.
Remember, how did you learn to swim in just two hours?"
Long Chen pondered and said: "At that time, you told me that when you are in crisis and no one can help you, you need to learn to win yourself a chance to breathe.
After winning the chance to breathe, you can adjust your state to deal with the surrounding crises instead of blindly fighting the crises. What you mean is. . . . . "
Long Tianxiao said: "Yes, you are what you were now. You have to find a way to relax.
A bad mood, a tense spirit, will not help you in any way, but will make you worse and worse.
Can't relax? That's no excuse, you have to find a way to relax in order to meet the next challenge in a better state.
Just like in drowning, you have to win yourself a respite, and after you have a respite, adjust your state and learn to swim.
Only if you learn to swim, race against time, and you will live longer in the waves, you can hold on until someone comes to save you, or you yourself will come to the shore.
Sometimes, the mystery between breathing and breathing is the foundation of the cycle of the entire world. Principles and laws are around us, but most people turn a blind eye to them.
So, Chen'er, don't always rush forward, sometimes stopping your steps and looking at the situation around you, or even looking back at the path you've taken, may be a great inspiration to you.
Don't blindly follow the crowd. Having a goal does not mean that you will not get lost. You need to understand your own way and don't follow the route set by your predecessors in everything. In that way, you will never be able to surpass your predecessors." Long Tianxiao looked at Long Chen, which was meaningful and authentic.
