Chapter 140: Taking care of one thing but losing another (2)
All of a sudden, Lu Jian's brain was shaken, his mind was clear, all the illusions gradually disappeared, the cold wind came, slightly damp, opened his eyes, and the surroundings were still dark and cloudy.Thinking back on the illusion, Lu Jian's heart beat endlessly.He thought about it, and suddenly felt a surge of true energy rushing towards his face, directly pouring into his chest.The nature of the zhenqi is peculiar, making one feel light and ready to fly, and after only one turn, it suddenly poured out from his lower abdomen.Then came another stream of condensed and heavy zhenqi, turned around and flowed out of the body.Afterwards, real energy surged incessantly, some were hot as fire, some were cool as autumn water, some were like a breeze passing by, some were like thunder and lightning, some were violent, some were lingering, Lu Jian counted them, there were eight in total. This kind of zhenqi comes and goes, goes and comes again, circulates repeatedly, fluctuates constantly, and gives people different feelings.

Lu Jian was very uncomfortable and couldn't help resisting with concentration.The stronger his resistance is, the faster the Eight Paths of True Qi will turn. At the beginning, it looks like a small snake, and gradually turns into a torrent, like a huge balloon, rolling around in his body. The encounter with the "Great Vajra Divine Power" was like an avalanche disintegrating. Suddenly, the air mass shrank inwards and suddenly gushed outwards. Lu Jian heard a "bang" in his mind, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

I don't know how long he has been in a coma, but suddenly the fragrance of flowers is tangy, the birds are chirping, and there is a pleasant fresh air all around.Lu Jian opened his eyes, only to see the clear blue sky, and a cloud rising in the sky, as light as light, curling away.

Lu Jian sat up and found himself lying on an old tree. The old roots were knotted, the shade was lush, and the thick branches were twisted like a dragon. Under the tree, there were colorful flowers and colorful flowers. The fragrance was faint and wafted in the air. .

Suddenly hearing the sound of cooing, Lu Jian raised his eyes and saw a giant crane standing on a high place, handsome and bright.

"Big guy!" Lu Jian meditated on what happened before, it was Ye Feiye, like a dream.Lu Jian couldn't help but rolled up his trousers, a red mark was visible, although the scar was shallow, it was stabbed by the dwarf's dagger.It was only then that he became convinced that the previous experience was not a dream, but that before he was unconscious, he was in the Yin River, where the cold water was flowing deep, but when he woke up, there was singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the sky was peaceful.

While in doubt, he suddenly felt something strange in the index finger of his right hand. He raised his hand to see that the green light was shining on the finger, and the jade ring was clear. The three strands of red silk were like three blood vessels, endowing the jade ring with incomparable spirituality.Lu Jian stroked the ring, thinking that Mr. Ruoxu must have brought him here. He must have recovered his supernatural powers and got rid of his chronic illness if he could escape from the underground river.

After thinking for a while, he jumped down from the tree.The giant crane cooed twice and rubbed against Lu Jian's temples, looking delicate and intimate.Lu Jian sighed: "Big guy, thank you very much yesterday, if it weren't for you, I would have died!" The giant crane kept cooing, chest up and head up, Lu Jian smiled unconsciously, turned his eyes, and suddenly saw the bark of an ancient tree Peel off a piece, Xiajuan Yunshu, carved a few lines of handwriting: "With the help of the king, the ring is given to the king, and the wealth of the world, you can ask for it. My magic has been accomplished, and since then, the clouds have flown like dragons and dragons, and I will never have a strong enemy. "

The handwriting is carved with finger force, penetrating three points into the wood, revealing arrogance between the lines.Lu Jian stared blankly at the characters, and the last characters were like flying dragons in the sky, about to escape from the tree and fly away.Lu Jian read it again, thinking: "Mr. Ruoxu thinks that he has stayed in the deep mountains for a long time. If nothing else, Gu Shentong is not easy to mess with. There will never be a strong enemy. It's easier said than done?" He sighed and thought to himself These days, I have been running around for others, forgetting the original intention of returning home.Counting three years away from home, I don't know whether my grandfather is healthy or not.Thinking of returning to his heart like an arrow, he dressed up and walked north.

He traveled day and night, and arrived outside Yao's village in a few days.The closer he got to the village, the more timid Lu Jian felt. He was afraid that something would happen to his family after going there for three years.

Strolling on the beach, the sea breeze comes slowly, the land gradually looks far into the sea, the water and the sky are the same color, and a few seabirds appear and disappear between the water and clouds, echoing the sound of the waves, which makes people feel sad all their lives.

Seeing the hut soon, Lu Jian seemed to have a little rabbit in his chest.Before he got close, he heard a thin and strange voice calling: "Lu Jian, Lu Jian."

Lu Jian heard it familiarly, looked left and right, but saw no one, and in surprise, heard the voice call "Lu Jian, Lu Jian." Lu Jian took a few steps forward, and saw a few bamboo poles supporting tattered fishing nets in front of the hut. , a white-haired old man was sitting on a small bench with a stooped figure, mending fishing nets.On the tip of the bamboo pole stands a parrot with red beak and white hair.The old man didn't realize that someone was approaching, he laughed and said: "Good bird, come, cry twice."

The white parrot called again: "Lu Jian, Lu Jian." The old man stretched out his big hand, with a few grains of rice in his palm, the parrot pecked and called again: "Lu Jian, Lu Jian..." The old man stretched out his hand, but there was no more grain in his pocket. Mi, unconsciously sighed, and said: "Good bird, enough, enough..." The white parrot was extremely unwilling, and repeatedly called Lu Jian's name. Well, just like me, no matter how much you think about it, Lu Jian's child, alas, that child is gone..." As he spoke, his voice was blocked, he stretched out his sleeve and rubbed it at the corner of his eyes, and then sighed, "It's only because I'm not good enough , always loves to gamble, that kid followed me, never had a good day since he was a child, suffered a lot, and still hasn't come to a good end..." He rubbed the corners of his eyes, the white parrot has no heart, and doesn't know the joys and sorrows of the world, He couldn't stop calling "Lu Jian", hoping that the master would give him more rice.

The old man stared at the sea dazedly, and murmured along with the birdsong, "Lu Jian, Lu Jian..." After calling twice, his decayed body trembled like a leaf falling in the wind.Lu Jian looked at Xiao Suo's back, his throat choked up, and he called out tremblingly, "Grandpa!"

The old man trembled violently, turned his head tremblingly and looked around, his eyes dazed with suspicion, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously.Lu Jian said, "Grandpa, don't you recognize me? I'm Jian'er." After three years of not seeing each other, Lu Dahai's beard and hair were all white, and his face was wrinkled. When he saw Lu Jian for the first time, he couldn't help but open his mouth, followed by a burst of anger. Stepping forward a few steps, he spread his five fingers apart, bowed left and right, and gave Lu Jian two mouths.

Lu Jian was taken aback by the beating. Lu Dahai looked at his palm, then at Lu Jian, suddenly opened his arms, hugged him tightly, and laughed loudly, "He's alive, ha, he's alive..." Laughing With a smile, his nose was sour, and he began to cry again.

Lu Jianzheng felt embarrassed, but Lu Haihai suddenly laughed again, swung his old fists, and gave him a few ruthless blows. Unexpectedly, Lu Jian's miraculous skills, when he was hit by an external force, he counterattacked spontaneously, which made Lu Haihai's fist hurt, and said in surprise: "What a little bastard, his body has grown strong."

Reunited with his grandfather after the catastrophe, Lu Jian was so happy that he couldn't speak, he just opened his mouth and smiled silly, Lu Dahai gave him a look, and couldn't help but curse again: "Damn, when you grow up, you still don't have a heart, stupid It's too stupid to be stupid." He was old and couldn't bear the joy and sorrow, so he laughed and cursed, and gasped for breath.

Lu Jian helped him to sit down, and when he heard the white parrot still calling him, feeling mixed with sorrow and joy, he took out a steamed bun, crushed it and threw it on the ground, the parrot jumped to the ground, pecking wildly.Seeing birds thinking about people, Lu Jian lightly stroked the parrot's feathers, and sighed, "White Pearl, I haven't seen you in three years, how are you doing?"

Lu Dahai greeted him: "Little bastard, come and sit here." Lu Jian sat down next to him, Lu Dahai was happy in his heart, supported his shoulders to look him up and down, suddenly smiled and said: "Tall, strong, oh, these years Where have you been? You should send me a letter when you are wandering outside. "

Lu Jian looked at him with white hair, felt guilty, and condensed the complicated things of these years, but he didn't like to boast, and he didn't talk about his martial arts success, and he didn't have to brag about defeating the enemy.Even so, Lu Dahai still felt that his grandson's experience was so strange and uncommon, he was stunned for a long time, and said with a smile: "No matter what, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

When Lu Jian asked about the situation after the farewell, Lu Dahai said, "There's nothing unusual about it, but fishing, sleeping, and sometimes when I'm free, I throw two dice, lose all my money, and go fishing again."

Lu Jian said, "Where did the parrot come from?" Lu Haihai sighed, "That day a fire burned the Yao family village to nothingness. I was sad for a long time and wanted to find your body to bury. Burnt black. I had no choice but to sit in front of the house in a daze when I suddenly heard someone call 'Jian, Lu Jian'. When I raised my eyes, the bird was perched on the bamboo pole, looking at me with pitiful eyes. This white I saw a parrot in Sumatra, I was tired and hungry at the time, I wanted to catch it and exchange it for a few bucks..." Lu Jian said in surprise, "That's not possible."

"Why not?" Lu Haihai smiled, "Isn't it just a bird? Unexpectedly, I caught it, and the bird called your name again. I was surprised. When I thought of you, I felt a little sad, so I said:' Good bird, please call this name twice again.' The bird immediately called twice. When I heard it, hey, I suddenly felt a little disappointed and pissed a little bit of cat urine, so my heart softened and I didn't sell it. Let it call your name every day since then, this thief bird has learned to be good, once it is hungry, it will call your name, which makes me soft-hearted, so that I can feed it..." Speaking of this, I suddenly made a bitter face, " It's a pity that you came back so easily that there is nothing to eat at home."

This matter was expected by Lu Jian, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go fishing." Since there was no fishing boat, he broke the big tree and made a wooden raft.When Lu Haihai saw him smashing trees with his fists like mowing grass, he couldn't help being stunned.

Lu Jian tied up the rafts, mended the fishing nets, and whistled loudly, ringing to stop the clouds.Not long after, a black and white dot emerged from the clouds and flew towards it, but when it got closer, it turned out to be a giant crane taller than a person.Lu Haihai had never seen such a big bird before, so he hid aside in fright, but he heard Lu Jian's command: "Big guy, I want to catch fish, go and see, where there are many fish, come back and report to me."

The giant crane screamed and rushed away.Lu Jian said to Lu Haihai: "I'll come as soon as I go." Stepping into the sea without using oars, he punched the water with his fists.The giant crane inspected the sky, found a school of fish, and couldn't go away.Lu Jian urged the boat to come forward, cast down the fishing net, and the "Heavenly Tribulation Controlling Military Art" turned, and the fish in the water couldn't help but fell into the fishing net one after another.Lu Jian cast three nets, all the nets were full, and the raft was full of fresh fish, alive and kicking.

Lu Jian knew that if he hit another net, the raft would sink, so he turned back to the shore.After seeing so many live fish, Lu Haihai didn't know where to stay.Lu Jian said, "Grandpa, get out of the way." After getting off the raft, he pulled it up and lifted it up. He carried all the fish on his shoulders. When he came to the front of the house, the raft tilted, and the live fish It fell like raindrops and piled up in front of the house.

Lu Jian smiled and said, "Is that enough?" Lu Dahai rubbed his hands together and said, "That's enough, that's enough." He stepped forward, squeezed the muscles in Lu Jian's shoulders, and said in amazement, "My dear grandson, when did you practice like this?" His ability really shocked me." Lu Jian blushed, and said shyly, "It's just a little bit of brute force." Lu Haihai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you are brute force or brute force." Looking at the fresh fish all over the floor, Then he said worriedly, "There are too many fish, how can I pretend?"

Lu Jian said: "This is easy." He went to find a few bamboos nearby, smashed them, twisted them into two large baskets half the height of a person, put them in fresh fish, and carried them with a long bamboo that was as thick as a calf, and said, "Grandpa , I’m going to sell fish in the city, you wait at home.”

Two baskets of sea fish weighed about 600 catties.Lu Jian carried it like nothing on his shoulders.Lu Dahai was overwhelmed with surprise and clapped his hands in amazement. He finally saw his grandson, and couldn't bear to part for a moment, and said, "I'll go with you, you kid, you don't know how to bargain." Lu Jian smiled and said, "That's fine."

Lu Dahai raised his eyebrows and was happy for a while, then suddenly his expression darkened, and he sighed: "My good grandson, you don't know, the 'big yellow croaker' in the market is getting worse and worse. If the fish you catch is not allowed by him, you will never let it go." Sell, sell the fish, you have to share [-]% of it with him, if not, kill the fish first, and then hurt people, it's very fierce!"

Lu Jian smiled and said, "If he wants money, give it to him." Picking up the baskets, he strode towards the city.Lu Dahai followed, pointing and rambling, telling about the changes in the neighborhood after Lu Jian left: someone's old man passed away, someone's daughter got married, someone else gave birth to a child, someone's death happened again.The small fishing village is originally a corner of the world of mortals. All the joys and sorrows in the world, life and death, are staged here year after year, without a moment's delay.

Lu Jian listened silently. When he heard joy, his grandfather laughed and he laughed too. When he heard sorrow, his grandfather sighed, and he sighed accordingly.

Lu Dahai talked for a while, then suddenly said: "Jian'er, you have been away for a few years, you have become a successful person, and you are getting older. In the past, I was always worried that my family would be poor and people would not see you. Now, with your fishing skills, The strength to carry a tripod, within a year, you must have enough food and clothing. I just thought about it, you are not young, you should marry a wife and continue the incense. I have sold the fish today, and I will prepare a generous gift for Dongcun Aunt Zhou will go around for you, and see which girl is willing to find a good day to get things done. Well, do you remember the second daughter of the Jiang family in Beicun? When you were young, you played sand together. This year will be seventeen. You look pretty good, but you are a little darker, and your left leg is still a little lame. But you are not a young man, so you should not be too picky when looking for a wife, as long as you can raise children..." At this point, Lu Jian suddenly stopped, his eyes widened. Looking at the distance stupidly.

Lu Dahai followed his gaze and saw a ruined wall covered by chaotic grass and thorns.Lu Haihai sighed: "The fire in Yao's house burned for two days before it was extinguished, and there was no one alive in the village. This case alarmed the governor of Shandong, and sent many police officers to investigate. After several months of investigation, there was no one left." After finding out the reason, we had to designate a Japanese pirate to rob."

Lu Jian had never heard of it, and was fascinated by the woods behind the ruins.The forest trees are green and the smoke is soft, and there seems to be a slim and beautiful shadow in the depths of the forest smoke. The sword is flying, the embroidered clothes are like snow, and the cold smoke around the body is faint, like a caged veil. Er looks back and looks forward, but the shallow smile reveals With endless desolation.

"Council... big fool... fool..." The voice of reproach sounded in my ears, "It's worthless, what it's worth is a sincere heart..." The girl who spoke had a pretty face like a snow-white peony, Rolling teardrops are like dew among flowers.

The sea breeze moved the trees like weeping. When Lu Jian heard the wind, he felt a slight chill. Something was quietly dying in his heart. A sour smell poured into his nostrils, and tears flowed down his face.Lu Dahai let out a surprise, and asked strangely, "Why are you crying?" Lu Jian wiped his tears and sighed, "It's nothing, I was blinded by the wind."

Not allowing Lu Haihai to ask any more questions, Lu Jian bowed his head and left. Lu Dahai caught up and said, "Did you hear about the marriage?" Lu Jian sighed, "Grandpa is in charge." Said: "If you don't love the Jiang family, I'll ask Aunt Zhou to find you a handsome one in another village." Lu Jian said: "A handsome one is ugly, it doesn't matter what your last name is, as long as you like it, grandpa."

"Fart." Lu Dahai scolded with staring eyes, "It's not like I'm marrying a wife."

"Anyway, it works!" Lu Jianyou said, "It doesn't matter if you don't marry for life."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Dahai said angrily, "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring, don't you understand?" Lu Jian said, "Then find someone who can have children." Seeing his grandson's mood languishing, he couldn't help but feel very puzzled. Looking closely, Lu Jian's complexion was bleak and his eyes were slack, as if all three souls and six souls were not on him.He was more and more puzzled, only felt that he had been estranged from his grandson since he hadn't seen him for three years, when he thought of this, he scratched his thin white hair, feeling very annoyed.

After a while, he entered the county seat and came to the fish market.As soon as Lu Jian put down his load, six or seven people surrounded him. The man in the lead was dressed in fine clothes and his skin was burnt.Seeing Lu Jian, he smiled and said, "Lu Dahai, isn't your grandson dead? Why did he come back to life?" Lu Haihai felt guilty because of his prestige, and said with a smile, "Huang Lord, the little old man made a mistake, he had been out for a few years on business and just came back, it's only because he didn't say hello to the little old man before he left, so there was some misunderstanding."

The big yellow croaker sneered and said, "Leave if you don't tell me, you must have done something bad. You little brat of the Lu family, isn't it?" angry.
