divine talisman

Chen Hao looked at his elder brother Chen Xi anxiously, not daring to vent his anger.

The older brother took care of himself to eat, sleep, and sent himself to practice in the best martial arts gym in Songyan City. The hard-earned primordial stones were all spent on himself, but the elder brother was never willing to spend a little bit of primordial stone.

Chen Hao knew that his elder brother seemed cold, but in fact he had a very good heart, and he was very considerate of himself and his grandfather, but why did everyone laugh at him?

Facial paralysis, broom star...

Thinking of these vicious nicknames, Chen Hao was filled with anger, wishing to tear the mouths of those who laughed at his brother.

"Hmph, as long as they scold brother again, I'll beat them!"

Chen Hao clenched his small fists and made a secret decision in his heart.

"Let's go home and eat first."

Chen Xi woke up from the silence, took a deep breath, patted Chen Hao on the shoulder, pushed open the dilapidated door, and walked into the room.

"Brother, don't you blame me?"

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, then grinned joyfully and shouted: "Okay, bro, my stomach is almost flattened by hunger."

……

In the room, a dim pine oil lamp swayed with dim light, illuminating the narrow and cramped dilapidated wooden house.

An old man with thinning hair sat quietly at the dining table. He was as thin as a stick, his face was wrinkled, and a pair of cloudy eyes showed a sense of decadence.

The old man's name was Chen Tianli, and he was also an all-powerful figure in Songyan City in the past. Unfortunately, after the Chen clan was wiped out, he also had a relapse of his old illness, and his cultivation base was completely abolished, becoming an ordinary old man.

"grandfather."

Chen Xi sat silently by the table, looking at the plate of sauerkraut and three bowls of white rice on the table, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, he was still too stupid, if he could earn more primordial stones every day, his grandfather and younger brother wouldn't have to suffer .

"Dinner." Chen Tianli's voice was hoarse and low, "After dinner, I have something to say."

Chen Xi was taken aback, then nodded, "En."

It was very interesting for the three of them to eat. Chen Xi and his grandfather only ate plain rice, and gave Chen Hao a small plate of pickles. The little guy knew that it was useless to refuse, so he just buried himself in the meal, repeating a vow he made a long time ago in his heart. : "Grandpa, brother, when I become stronger in cultivation, I will definitely give you all the delicious meals in the world, and I will stop eating these damned pickles!"

After eating, Chen Hao tidied up the dishes obediently, and walked out of the house with a wooden sword in his hand. He wants to practice the sword, and he must seize every minute to make himself stronger!

"How high is the "Zixiao Kung Fu"?" Chen Tianli listened to the sound of sword practice coming from outside the window, and there was a touch of relief on his old face.

"Zixiao Gong" is the qi refining method handed down by the Chen family. It has a total of [-] levels, and it records in detail the cultivation methods from the nine levels of acquired to the nine levels of innate.

"It's still No.13." Even when Chen Xi was talking to his grandfather, his face was still as cold as before, and that calm and dull aura seemed to never change.

"Oh."

Chen Tianli nodded, noncommittal, but complex emotions welled up in his heart.

He has both love and hatred for this grandson. Ever since Chen Xi was born, the entire Chen clan has had a lot of bad news—the family was destroyed, Chen Xi's biological mother abandoned the house, and Chen Xi's father left with hatred...

What's even more abominable is that the Su family in Longyuan City actually tore up the marriage contract they had made before in front of everyone in Songyan City, completely embarrassing Chen Tianli's old face. Upbringing, he wished he could end his life by suicide!

Sometimes he also suspects that his grandson is really a broom star of bad luck, as rumored.However, he quickly dismissed this idea, and there were only the three of them left in the entire Chen family. In addition, his body was declining day by day, and he could barely make ends meet by relying on Chen Xi's help in making talismans.

In other words, because of Chen Xi's presence, their family has not been so downcast as to be among beggars these years. Even with Chen Xi's hard work, the young grandson Chen Hao entered the famous Tianxing Martial Arts Hall in Songyan City to practice .

Thinking of this, Chen Tianli felt a surge of warmth in his heart, no matter how unlucky he was, Xiaoxi was also his grandson, and also Chen's own flesh and blood!

"I have wronged you all these years."

Chen Tianli sighed and said: "I let Xiao Hao eat well, dress well, and even enter the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, but I made you work hard on your livelihood, and you didn't end up well. Grandpa, I... I'm sorry for you."

Chen Xi's body froze, and the bitterness that had been suppressed deep in his heart for many years was ready to move. He quickly took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the bitterness, shook his head and said, "You are old and frail, and Xiaohao is young and ignorant. These things Of course I should do it."

Chen Tianli smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this."

Chen Xi nodded and remained silent.

He was originally withdrawn and dull, not good at speaking, and these years he was often ridiculed by people around him, which made him more restrained, preferring to act in silence rather than say a word of nonsense.

"The Qianjian Sect of Longyuan City will open its gate in half a month to recruit disciples. I plan to take Xiaohao to try it." After pondering for a long time, Chen Tianli suddenly said.

Chen Xi was stunned, and said: "It's also good, leaving Songyan City will be more beneficial to Xiaohao's growth."

Chen Tianli couldn't help asking: "You...don't blame grandpa for being biased?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "I will obey Grandpa's arrangements for everything."

Chen Tianli carefully looked at his grandson's face, as if he wanted to see something from it, but to his disappointment, Chen Xi's appearance remained the same from the beginning to the end, completely motionless, like a stiff piece of wood.

"Be in the crowd without losing the few, and the more silent you are when you talk, the temperament is stubborn and tenacious, so I don't know whether it is good or bad, alas."

Chen Tianli sighed deeply, got up and went back to the house.

……

Early the next morning.

When Chen Xi got up, it had just dawned. He washed himself with cold water, and as soon as he walked out of the house, he saw his younger brother Chen Hao practicing his sword.

brush!brush!brush!

The wooden sword swayed, making a rapid sound of cutting through the air. Chen Hao held the sword in his right hand, and his thin body jumped flexibly, chopping, cutting, picking, stabbing, and slashing, practicing swordsmanship meticulously.

His small face was covered with sweat, but there was a firm look between his immature brows, and the wooden sword in his hand did not tremble at all, calm and skillful.

Chen Xi watched silently for a while, without disturbing his younger brother. After hastily cooking the meal, he did not make talismans as usual, but quickly ran towards Zhang's grocery store.

"Ah, the face paralyzed Chen is here again!"

"Oh, I thought I would not run into him when I came to work in the morning, but I still bumped into him. What bad luck."

Inside Zhang's Grocery Store, the new apprentice Fu saw Chen Xi walking in, and they all avoided him, as if they were afraid of bad luck.

"Uncle Zhang, I would like to borrow a hundred primordial stones first. I wonder if it is possible?" Chen Xi didn't have the heart to pay attention to these cynics, so he went straight to the counter and made his request to Zhang Dayong.

Zhang Dayong asked doubtfully, "Chen Xi, what happened? Tell me, maybe I can help."

Chen Xi helped his grocery store make talismans for more than five years. He had never borrowed money from him before, but today he suddenly wanted to borrow a hundred primordial stones. He was naturally puzzled, and planned to help this little guy if he could. .

Chen Xi heard the caring meaning in Zhang Dayong's words, his heart warmed up, he shook his head and said, "I'm not in trouble, I just want to buy something."

Suddenly Zhang Dayong took out a Lingyu and said, "Here, is it enough? If not, I will lend you some more."

"That's enough, thank you Uncle Zhang, I will replace it with you soon."

One spirit jade is roughly equivalent to one hundred primordial stones, and it's still the kind that is only high but not low.After Chen Xi took the Lingyu, he turned around and left in a hurry.

"Strange, this kid is extremely frugal in order to maintain his family's livelihood. He never spends money recklessly. What's going on today?"

Zhang Dayong looked at Chen Xi's back disappearing outside the shop door, full of doubts.

……

Bailiantang, located in the bustling street in the center of Songyan City, specializes in selling some weapons and equipment needed by monks. The scale is large, and it is also quite famous in Songyan City.

After Chen Xi went in for a while, a piece of spiritual jade was spent in less than a quarter of an hour, and he didn't feel any pain, but instead felt relieved.

When I got home, it was almost noon, Chen Tianli was packing his bags, and Chen Hao was sitting in front of the door, holding his face in his hands, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother, you're back." Chen Hao stood up suddenly, his little face was full of joy.

Chen Xi touched Chen Hao's head, and said, "Leave in a while?"

Chen Hao nodded, his expression became gloomy, he was reluctant to leave his brother, and when he thought of going to Longyuan City, he would not be able to see his brother often again, he felt very sad.

Chen Xi took out a long jade box and handed it over: "I bought it for you, you have to work hard."

"Bought it for me?"

Chen Hao was stunned, looking at the exquisite jade box, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever he saw other people's children showing off with various gifts, he was extremely envious, but he never dared to expect to have them.Because he knew that the lives of his grandparents and grandchildren depended on his elder brother's hard work to maintain them. Under such circumstances, he did not dare to ask extravagantly.

Now, when he was about to leave, his elder brother bought him a gift without saying a word. How could he not be moved by this?

"elder brother……"

Chen Hao's voice was a little choked up, he lowered his head and tried hard not to cry, but his eyes were already red.

Chen Xi patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Take care of grandpa, and take care of yourself as well."

"En!" Chen Hao nodded fiercely.

"I'm going to see grandpa, I'll take you out of the city later." Chen Xi showed a rare smile on his face, turned and walked into the house.

Chen Hao took a deep breath, and slowly opened the jade box. A long sword with a cold luster was placed quietly in the jade box.

hum!

Picking up the long sword, the true essence surged, and the long sword let out a clear moan suddenly, and a sharp aura gushed out.

"Brother, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

Chen Hao looked at the long sword in his hand with firm eyes, as if he had grown up overnight, and he was no longer the ignorant child he used to be.

……

At noon, the golden crow hangs high.

outside the city gate.

A carriage carrying the grandpa and grandson drove away slowly.

Chen Xi stood on the city wall, his eyes fixed on the distance, his heart fluttered.
