Chapter 292 childhood memories of the old courtyard
Looking at the three golden lines on the small black tripod, there was a moment of silence at the entrance of the valley, because this tripod had not appeared in the family for more than ten years. After Hu Chenliang's eyes flickered a few times, he did not appear again.
Make a sound.
The gentle young man who was twenty-seven or eighty-years-old from before stepped forward in one step. He was wearing a black robe and looked slender and handsome. His cultivation was not weak at all. He was already at the late stage of the tenth level of Qi Condensation. He was facing Hu Chen Wu.
Dingyi raised his hand and said, "Are you Master Wu Ding? Do you remember Hu Chen Qiukong?"
Hu Chen Wuding looked at the person in front of him, and the image of a young man flashed in his mind. The young man often brought some things given by his father in private, and a smile appeared on his face. "It turns out to be Brother Qiukong. Farewell."
After more than ten years, your cultivation has almost reached Dzogchen."
When he was sizing up the young man in black shirt in front of him, Huchen Qiukong was also sizing him up, and he seemed to see a thin and somewhat stubborn young man between Huchen's Wuding brows.
"As expected, Young Master Wu Ding is back. The master of the house has arranged several groups of people to take turns waiting here. I have been patrolling here for two months before, and today I am still waiting." Huchen Qiukong said with a smile on his face.
said. .??.
"Oh? Then it's really thanks to you, Brother Qiukong." Hu Chen nodded and said as if he was uncertain. The person in front of him was quite good in his impression.
"Oh, the head of the family has already made arrangements. As soon as Young Master Wu Ding comes back, he will take you back to your previous residence. I will inform the head of the house later. He should be very happy." Huchen Qiukong said quickly,
In the past few months, the family leader had arranged six groups of them to guard the mouth of the valley together with other groups. These six people were all close confidants of the family leader, and all of them had known Huchen Wuding since they were young. This was also
The owner of the house deliberately arranged it.
But when Huchen Qiukong mentioned the words "family master", he didn't expect Huchen Wuding's expression, and the aura of the hunchbacked old man standing silently behind Huchen Wuding suddenly surged.
With their cultivation levels, it was really difficult for them to notice that the hunchbacked old man's aura was different.
"Haha, that really bothered him. Now he is a lot more courageous and dares to come and see me openly." Huchen Wudingze said lightly with a curl of the corner of his mouth.
As soon as he said these words, there were only two of them talking here, and the space seemed to be somewhat silent. It seemed to have frozen for an instant. Hu Chen Qiukong's smile froze on his face, and the faces of the other people were also unnatural.
, or with anger, but no one said anything, but this is a matter between father and son. No matter how they disagree, they cannot kiss the blood of father and son.
After a while, Huchen Qiukong could only smile awkwardly, "Master Wuding, you'd better follow me into the valley first. When you come back, you can't always stand here, right?"
"Okay, brother Qiukong, let's go over there." Huchen Wuding didn't want to embarrass Huchen Qiukong, let alone stay here longer in the public eye, so he said with a calm expression.
Seeing that Huchen Wuding didn't say anything more, Huchen Qiukong felt relieved, and then looked at the other four guards, "I'll take Master Wuding over there, the four of you will be here first." Please stay here and guard it." He is the leader of this team, and no matter how others disobey the arrangements.
Having said that, regardless of the expressions of the four of them, he stretched out his hand towards Huchen Wuding and walked towards the valley first. Huchen Wuding glanced at the other guards, his expression dull, and he took a step forward.
, and then left side by side with Hu Chen Qiukong. Li Yan and Li Yan remained silent from beginning to end. At this time, they also followed. Looking at the young man in purple shirt in front of him who was chatting with Hu Chen Qiukong in a low voice, Li Yan smiled in his heart.
After all, this guy has gone through many ups and downs, but he has a way of dealing with people."
Watching the four of them, Hu Chen Wu Ding, gradually walked away, Hu Chen Liang, one of the remaining four guards, said to one of them with twinkling eyes, "Hu Chen Li, I'll come back as soon as I go, please help me keep an eye on it."
"After that, he ignored Huchen Tuhu and the other person and flew directly towards the other direction in the valley.
The man named Hu Chenli was the man who had glared at Hu Chen before butchering the tiger, and he was obviously with Hu Chenliang.
"Young Master Wu Ding is back. Do you want to go back and report it quickly? I asked Hu Chen Le, do you also want to go back and tell the Four Meridians, or else, I will keep an eye on it for you? Hehe." Hu Chen Tuhu looked towards the end.
One of the guards said, making a strange laugh.
The guard named Hu Chenle narrowed his eyes but did not speak.
In this team, there were actually four people including the head of the house, the first house, the second house, and the fourth house.
Hu Chen Wuding walked all the way into the valley, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar road. The past scene was vivid in his mind, as if it was yesterday. He met many tribesmen along the way. In their surprised and doubtful eyes, Hu Chen Wu Ding
Ding and Huchen Qiukong spoke in low voices and did not say hello to anyone else. Although some people here had already guessed Huchen Wuding's identity, they did not come forward to speak, but their eyes were full of complex colors.
Li Yan looked at all this and couldn't help but murmured in his heart, "This is not the part about the old scholar's storytelling. When the concubine returned, even the servants looked arrogant and domineering to him, and then they wished they could come forward and talk to Huchen Wu again.
In the scene where Ding was stepped on twice in the face and finally slapped mercilessly by Huchen Wuding, it seems that the book the old scholar said was also nonsense." Although he was thinking this in his mind, he actually didn't understand that kind of scene.
How could it be possible, unless the head of the family really stated that Hu Chen Wu Ding was no longer his own flesh and blood, but in this case, there would not have been a situation where he privately protected Hu Chen Wu Ding and left.
Therefore, the only ones who dare to suppress Huchen Wuding face to face are those unrelated mothers, or half-brothers and sisters. If the rest of the people do this, it is estimated that Huchen Wuding is afraid of his wife.
My father will not show any mercy to these servants. After all, he is a golden elixir master and the head of the family. How to let others bully his son is equivalent to letting a servant beat him.

After we walked half a stick of incense through the valley pavilions, a small courtyard appeared in front of us. Looking at the newly turned soil in front of the courtyard and the neatly cut flowers and plants on both sides of the road, Hu Chen Wuding stopped in front of the courtyard door.
It was obvious that this place had been cleaned recently.
Although the courtyard gate has been wiped clean, the mottled vermilion paint on it and the some worn bricks and tiles on the courtyard wall still indicate that it has been dusty for a long time.
Hu Chen Wuding stretched out his trembling hands and gently pushed open the courtyard door. He pushed it very slowly, as if he was pushing open a door that had been sealed for a long time. As the courtyard door opened gently, there was a wave of
There was a long, slow "squeak" sound, and Hu Chen Wuding held his breath. As the courtyard door opened, his eyes stared unblinkingly into the courtyard.
A scene he was familiar with, but without the gentle smile of the familiar person facing him. Even though he knew the outcome of all this, after Hu Chen Wuding swept his eyes across the entire courtyard, his heart still tightened and his eyes leaked.
Two lines of tears broke out.
Huchen Qiukong stood aside, and when he saw Huchen Wuding's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said softly, "Master Wuding, I will arrange for a few maids to come over later, so they can be used if necessary."
Huchen Wuding seemed not to have heard anything. His eyes were still scanning back and forth in the courtyard, as if he was trying to find something. After a long time, he breathed out softly and turned to look at Huchen Qiukong, "No need, I didn't do it before."
Is it just my mother and I? Besides, I also have Uncle Sang and Brother Li now."
After hearing this, Huchen Qiukong was startled at first, and finally nodded silently. Then he glanced at Li Yan and the two of them. He had also heard about the origins of the people the young master brought with him, but wasn't it said before that only one person could protect the young master Wu Ding?
And why is there an additional Qi Condensation stage monk? Although he is also at the late stage of the tenth level of Qi Condensation, it is obvious that this level of cultivation cannot protect the young master.
In his mind, he subconsciously believed that Li Yan should be the nephew or disciple of the hunchbacked old man.
He then bowed his hands to Zhuo Lingfeng, "Senior, if you have any instructions, just give them to me through the sound transmission." After saying that, he patted his waist, and in a flash of light, ten transmission notes appeared.
He held it in his hand, and then handed it over respectfully. .??.??
Zhuo Lingfeng just glanced at the transmission talismans in Huchen Qiukong's hand, and then he stretched out his hand with a dull expression and took away the ten transmission talismans.
Seeing this, Huchen Qiukong felt relieved. Before, he was worried that this person would not accept the kindness of the family leader and refuse to accept the transmission talisman. In that case, if they encountered something in the family, they would not be able to notify the family leader in time, but he
Things went wrong.
He turned to look at Hu Chen Wu Ding again, patted his shoulder lightly, and was about to speak, but his expression couldn't help but be startled after this pat, because Hu Chen Wu Ding seemed to have slipped away without leaving a trace.
Half a step later, the shot actually failed. Although he was a little surprised, Huchen Qiukong quickly understood, smiled bitterly, and retracted his palm in embarrassment. r> "Master Wu Ding, I think you are tired from traveling for days, so you should take a rest first. A servant will bring some food later. Although we immortal cultivators have already gone away from grain, these delicacies were ordered by the master of the house.
To relieve the fatigue of the journey, the food tastes good.
I'm going to go over and talk to the head of the family now. It's estimated that the head of the family will come to see you later and tell you about tomorrow's competition." After saying that, he didn't wait for Hu Chen Wuding to answer.
He left in a hurry, obviously he wanted to report the matter back to the head of the family as soon as possible.
Hu Chen Wuding looked back at Li Yan and the two of them, without saying anything, but walked directly into the courtyard.
The courtyard is not big. Like many ordinary courtyards, there are several big trees in the courtyard. There is a stone table and four stone benches under the trees. Hu Chen Wu Ding walked directly to the stone table and stretched out his palms to move back and forth on the stone table.
After rubbing it for a long time, he slowly sat down on a stone bench, then stared blankly at the stone bench opposite, and said to himself.
"In the past, my mother always sat on the stone bench opposite. Every time I came back from practicing, I would smell a strong aroma as soon as I entered the courtyard. Although there were only one or two side dishes, the smell was very fragrant.
It was very fragrant. My mother would sit on the stone bench and look at me with a smile. Then she would urge me to wash my hands. When I came back, there would already be a bowl full of rice placed in front of me. She would keep filling it for me.
Serve the food, for fear that I will be hungry..."
He was talking to himself like this, and Li Yanting felt a little sad, which reminded him of his parents at home. Zhuo Lingfeng, after hearing that the stone bench opposite Huchen Wuding was where his mother used to sit,
There was a slight fluctuation in his dull expression. First, he paused, and then walked slowly towards the stone table. His steps were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing others. Finally, he stood in front of the stone bench, his eyes
Staring straight at the stone bench, he listened to Hu Chen's uncertain self-talk.
Hu Chen Wuding just muttered to himself for a short moment, then raised his head and smiled at Li Yan, "I'm sorry, but I made Brother Li laugh. Although my childhood was very unhappy, under the eyes of others,
, I still think of my mother."
Li Yan nodded silently. He could understand his feelings towards Huchen Wuding, and by the way, he also had a better impression of Huchen Wuding himself.
Hu Chen Wuding immediately stood up and walked towards the room in the courtyard. There were only four rooms in the courtyard, and he pushed the doors in one by one. It was not until about a cup of tea that he came out of a room.
He walked out slowly, but his eyes were a little red at the moment. Most of the things here are still there, and the arrangement is still the same as before. It seems that someone has come to clean up this place. It’s just that over the past ten years, some
Maybe the things were rotten and damaged, so there were still some things missing in his memory.
"Uncle Sang, he may come later. I hope you won't take action now, at least not before you reach the Golden Core." Hu Chen Wuding looked at Zhuo Lingfeng, who had been silently looking at the stone table and stone bench.
