At this moment, Old Man Xiao came from outside carrying a pheasant and muttered: "It's weird, why haven't you seen this bastard Cheng Qingshan in the past few days?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Chen couldn't help but ask when he saw old man Xiao mumbling something.
Old Xiao looked up at Lu Chen and cursed: "Cheng Qingshan is gone, and I don't know what he is doing. I wanted him to roast a beggar's chicken to satisfy his craving, but I couldn't find him for a long time. He must be lazy."
"
"Did you go hunting in the mountains?" Lu Chen asked in surprise.
Old Xiao shook his head and said: "I saw him going out yesterday, but he hasn't seen anyone until now. This mountain is so big, and with his strength, he can visit it two or three times, unless he is eaten by monsters on the mountain.
"
"Otherwise, at this hour, I should have come back long ago."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Be patient, if he wants to leave, he should say hello to us in advance."
"Hmph, let's go and pull him over. When the beggar's chicken is roasted later, we will eat it. If we don't give it to this kid, he will look like a wolf." Old man Xiao said a little indignantly.
Lu Chen was a little dumbfounded: "You are a swordsman, but you are so stingy."
"This is not a matter of being stingy or not, this is a matter of principle." Old Man Xiao said angrily: "I got a beggar's chicken. It's not enough for one person. Why should I give it to this kid? Humph, come back and let him go outside by himself.
Find it."
Chase Lu smiled helplessly, wondering if this old man was too old, why was he so small-minded?
"Forget it, leave him alone, let's get rid of the beggar's chicken first, and we'll have two cups of it tonight." Old man Xiao carried the pheasant, played a tune, and walked into the side hall to prepare for cleaning.
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. This old man was too cute. A few days ago, he called himself brother and sister, but now they are father and son again.
As for Cheng Qingshan, he didn't think much about it. This kid can't become a talent without polishing. As a martial artist, if you want to achieve success in martial arts, you can't do it without sinking your heart.
He pondered for a moment, and then continued to hold the wooden sword, practicing sword skills, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to comprehending the power of heaven and earth.
In the courtyard, the earthy aura continued to flow and wrap around the wooden sword. Lu Chen's eyes were sharp, and with a flash of his body, he turned into a phantom and rushed out.
With a wave of the sword, everyone within a ten-foot radius was oppressed by an invisible aura, the ground trembled slightly, and countless piles of snow were thrown into the air.
Brush. Brush. Brush....
Lu Chen held the wooden sword and swung it out continuously, drawing wonderful arcs in the air.
Each arc is interlocked with each other, endlessly, forming a world of its own, like endless reincarnation.
The earthy air surrounds the whole body, constantly causing the power of heaven and earth to oscillate.
The sword blade flew through the air lightly, slowly, and everywhere it went, the space was distorted, as if it weighed tens of millions of pounds, and the air produced bursts of roaring sounds.
After slashing, he turned around and made another straight stab.
The space seemed to have been stabbed with a hole, and the powerful force of heaven and earth burst out from the tip of the sword, creating layers of ripples visible to the naked eye in the air.
With a pop, a fist-sized hole suddenly appeared in the wall of more than ten feet, and the rock flowed out like powder.
Lu Chen continued to strike with sword after sword. Each sword seemed simple, but in fact it achieved the artistic conception of returning to nature.
The powerful oppressive aura was filled with an indescribable sense of weight. Standing in the courtyard, the whole person seemed as majestic as a mountain and unshakable.
Chase Lu took one step forward, and with a whoosh, the whole person disappeared in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, a ghostly figure appeared in a corner ten feet away, as if teleporting.
This is not an effect produced by extremely fast movement, but by the mystery of a special law.
The way of earth is to shrink the earth into an inch.
"The earth is thick and nurtures all things." Lu Chen murmured to himself while swinging his sword, with a heartfelt smile on his face.
"Only by stepping on the earth can people clearly feel the pulse of the heart and the breath of life bred by the earth."
"Mountains, flowing water, forests, and lakes are all part of the earth."
"It is precisely because of them that we have this magnificent mountain and river."
"The way of the earth, in addition to the five artistic conceptions of shrinking the earth to an inch, endless life, vibration, thickness, and hardness, there should be another kind."
"That's endless power."
"The earth is the source of strength."
"Human beings, birds and animals, flowers, trees, mountains, rivers and lakes all exist because the earth provides them with the nutrients for their survival."
"This is the power that makes all things grow."
"As the saying goes, only by being down-to-earth can you thrive."
Lu Chen's eyes were bright, his feet were on the ground, and the khaki energy continued to flow out along his legs, surrounding his body, as if forming an khaki armor.
The sword blade cut through the sky, carrying endless energy to oppress the world, like a majestic mountain crashing down, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and a terrifying shock wave swept away in all directions.
The ground was instantly shaken and cracks appeared.
At noon, an intoxicating aroma came from the hall, followed immediately by Old Man Xiao's brilliant laughter: "Brother Lu, the beggar's chicken is ready, let's have some."
Lu Chen, who was practicing, was stunned when he heard these words. He had just been touched by the way of earth, but when he was interrupted by Brother Xiao, he suddenly felt nothing at all.
"Brother Xiao, I finally have a feeling. Your shouting has interrupted the cultivation process."
"I really don't know what to say about you." Lu Chen said a little annoyed.
Brother Xiao cursed and said: "You are so young, why are you working so hard? The beggar's chicken is ready, why don't you practice again later? Do you want to eat or not? If you don't eat, you will fall down."
"Don't say anything after eating. I didn't make you proud."
Lu Chen glanced at Brother Xiao and couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed that he had to find a quieter place and not be interrupted hastily by others, otherwise it would have a great impact on his perception.
He sighed softly, sheathed his sword and walked into the main hall.
Old Man Xiao stretched out his hand to take the beggar's chicken out of the fire, patted the burnt mud on it, and said with a smile: "Oh, it smells so good."
"It's both delicious and delicious. Old man, my craftsmanship has improved again."
"Lu Chen, come here, I'll give you a thigh to eat."
"Brother, eat some chicken wings. Well, leave a chicken butt for Cheng Qingshan. You can't be a man without conscience. After all, this guy has been serving me for more than half a month."
Xiao Chen was gnawing on the chicken wings, his mouth was full of oil, he was smiling from ear to ear, and his eyes were narrowed into slits.
Lu Chen grabbed the chicken leg and took a bite. It tasted pretty good. Where did this old guy learn how to cook it? It felt pretty good.
"On an occasion like this, having wine and meat is a good thing. Lu Chen, let's have a drink together." Xiao Chen took out the wine gourd from his waist with a smile and poured Lu Chen a glass of water.
Then he prepared to take a nice sip, but found that the wine in the wine gourd was empty.
"Hey, there's no more wine." Xiao Chen frowned when he realized there was no more wine.
"It looks like I need to ask Cheng Qingshan to buy a jar and bring it back."
Lu Chen said: "Isn't Cheng Qingshan back yet?"
"Yeah, I almost forgot about this incident." Xiao Chen patted his head and said with some annoyance.
Speaking of this, Lu Chen suddenly froze. Recalling what happened during this period, he seemed to have remembered something, and his face gradually became ugly.
"Cheng Qingshan will not come back again." Lu Chen's voice suddenly sounded a little low.
Xiao Chen said disapprovingly: "Where can he go if he doesn't come back? Are you kidding me?"
"Today is the end of the month. He should go down the mountain to seek revenge." Lu Chen explained.
Xiao Chen was a little stunned and said: "Revenge, what's going on?"
"You probably don't know about him yet," Lu Chen said slowly.
With that, he told Xiao Chen the whole process of getting to know Cheng Qingshan.
After hearing Cheng Qingshan's experience, Xiao Chen suddenly became furious: "What, Cheng Qingshan's arm was cut off by someone from the Helian family."
"He was also robbed of his love and his beloved woman."
"His grandma, if this happens to me, my uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt will never tolerate it."
Lu Chen said: "Cheng Qingshan left suddenly, most likely because he went to settle accounts with his enemies. Today is the end of the month, and it happens to be the day that He Lianjie gets married."
"This place is not far from Red Tiger City. He will definitely not let He Lianjie get what he wants."
During these days, he practiced swordplay on the top of the mountain. With his hearing and eyesight, he naturally knew what was happening in Red Tiger City.
However, this has nothing to do with him, so naturally he won't take it too seriously.
But Cheng Qingshan will never fail to pay attention.
Xiao Chen said with some confusion: "With his strength, can he take revenge?"
"No, he can barely protect himself. He Lianjie is a descendant of the Helian family. He is powerful and has many masters around him."
"To seek revenge with his strength is to seek death." Lu Chen shook his head and said.
Xiao Chen: "What should we do? Watch him die?"
"Then what do you want to do?" Chase Lu looked up at the other party and asked calmly.
Xiao Chen scratched the back of his head with his hand, and said a little upset: "After all, we have been together for a while, and I have a good impression of this kid. If something like this happens, you can't just ignore him."
"How are you going to save me? You and I are both swordsmen. It's not good to interfere in this kind of thing." Lu Chen said slowly.
Xiao Chen's eyes widened and he grinned: "What's wrong? You have really become a god, and you can no longer care about mundane things."
"Cheng Qingshan has served us husband and wife with all his heart and soul for such a long time. Why don't you look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha?"
"You little brat, you have no conscience."
"The old man can't stand by and watch this kind of thing happen."
Lu Chen said with great interest: "What are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? If anyone dares to touch Cheng Qingshan, I will tear down his ancestral tomb." Xiao Chen threw away the chicken wings that had eaten most of the chicken wings, and ran out in an instant.
