The inner demon calamity is indeed not easy to overcome, even if it is just a wisp of calamity energy that is derived from it.
In this place he married again.
In addition to the fox girl Su Linlin and his junior sister Huang Ying, his senior sister Yu Junyao also lived with him. Three wives, exceeding the task.
I already have a son.
The ancient ancestor Gu He told him to enter the world to experience the various aspects of life. Chen Luo felt that he might not need to go through so much trouble. As a practitioner of the Heart Demon Technique, he experienced the various aspects of life more thoroughly than "entering the world".
“That’s enough!”
Chen Luo interrupted the women and walked to the yard. He saw a little boy with a bruised face and nose kneeling in the yard.
The little boy was his son Chen Yuanzhi.
Unlike the people around him, the moment Chen Luo saw the little boy, the Heart Demon Sutra in his body suddenly accelerated and a familiar feeling rose in his heart.
The one who survives the tribulation!
Chen Yuanzhi is the one who transcends tribulation.
The aura on his body was exactly the same as that of Elder Rong Ling. Chen Luo was very puzzled by this. He did not enter the heavenly tribulation this time. He just adjusted the trajectory of the operation of the technique according to the understanding of the Heart Demon Ancestor, and then saw this scene.
It was like a mental calamity simulated by a martial art.
"Dad, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I promise not to make the teacher angry again. From tomorrow on, I will study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination to bring honor to our family."
Noticing Chen Luo coming in, Chen Yuanzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately started to admit his mistake. Judging from his skilled appearance, it was probably not the first time he had admitted his mistake. His words came out very smoothly, as if he had practiced it thousands of times. Whether he really knew his mistake in his heart, only he knew it best.
Looks somewhat familiar.
Chen Luo looked at this "son" and thought of the apprentice he had just accepted during the day.
Li Fugui, the son of Butcher Li.
He didn't expect that during the mental calamity, this kid would actually become his son.
Chen Luo did not hit him, nor did he pay attention to his apology. He walked past him and went straight into the study and closed the door.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the women didn't dare to let the children get up.
The little boy kneeling on the ground was full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to get up without his father's order. He just resented the old teacher for causing trouble. Isn't it just a pit toilet? Can't it be cleaned after washing?
A few days later.
The Master's fall into the toilet was solved smoothly. As the two families were willing to pay enough money and land deeds, the Master spared them, but he made it clear that he would not accept their children as apprentices again. The two families were too lazy to find a teacher for these two guys, so they simply used their family connections to find two martial arts masters to train them and vent their endless energy.
Practicing martial arts is different from studying. If you can't get into it, the instructor will really beat you.
After a few troublesome little guys had no more education to continue their studies, they were arranged to learn boxing here, and they were beaten by the boxing master every day.
"If you give up literature and pursue martial arts, your life will be ruined."
Mr. Wang sat at the edge of the training ground, watching his son and the boy from the Chen family practicing boxing together, and couldn't help but sigh.
He originally hoped that his son would study hard and win some honor to bring honor to the family, but the son turned out to be unmotivated and after all the struggles he ended up returning to the circle of warriors.
The holy dynasty uses civil officials to control military power. No matter how good a martial artist is, he has to obey the orders of the civil officials. The status of military officers is far lower than that of civil officials. Any seventh-rank civil official can make a fifth-rank military officer bow his head. This gap is even greater in the court.
"Life is long, how can we judge a child's life based on one moment's ups and downs?"
"If you can't read, you can't achieve fame. Without fame, it's meaningless no matter how good your martial arts are." Mr. Wang was very disappointed when he saw his son in the field. He wondered whether he should marry two more concubines and have another child while he was still able to work.
Chen Luo smiled and said nothing more.
The pace of agricultural society is very slow, and it will not change for decades or even hundreds of years. Once it changes, it means a change of dynasty. However, this matter has nothing to do with gentry like Chen Luo.
After integrating into this identity, he did not make any changes and managed the family affairs just like the old Master Chen. Apart from the family business, he usually did the most to train the younger generation of the clan. He would send the ambitious ones to the clan's academy to study, and those who could not study would be arranged to serve as militiamen in the county to ensure that they could make a living.
Not only the Chen family, but also other local gentry and wealthy families such as the Wang family and the Zhou family developed in this way.
Their power is deeply rooted in the local area. Even if the county magistrate takes office, he has to entertain them first, otherwise nothing can be done.
Time flies, and ten years have passed in a flash.
In ten years, Chen Luo has a few more white hairs on his head and has entered middle age. Although his figure is still upright, he is no longer young after all.
"Master, Yuanzhi is always brandishing swords and guns. He is so old, but he doesn't even have a husband." The eldest lady said with a worried look on her face.
Chen Yuanzhi is her son, but this kid is a worry.
After the bombing incident, she found several teachers for her son, but without exception they were all driven away by this rascal. Instead, he was very interested in martial arts. He learned good marksmanship from his master at home. He would go out at dawn every day with a group of friends and was a notorious bully in the county.
Recently she asked several families to marry her, but when others heard her name, they shook their heads and no one was willing to marry their daughter to her.
“No hurry.”
"Are you not in a hurry? Other Wang family boys have already given birth to their second child."
Chen Luo automatically filtered out this kind of family nonsense. He looked at the boy dancing with a gun in the field, his eyes penetrated the yard and looked at the sky in the distance.
In ten years, he still hasn't found out what this 'heart demon calamity' is. Chen Yuanzhi, the calamity survivor, is also different from Elder Rong Ling. He doesn't have a 'heavenly calamity' around him, nor does he have the desires that Elder Rong Ling has.
He was just like an ordinary gangster, who would go out for a stroll every day after eating and drinking.
If you say he is "evil", you can't really tell. On the contrary, this guy is very righteous. The word he talks about most every day is righteousness, and he occasionally does some things to help the weak and fight against the strong.
"Dad, I'm done practicing."
After using a set of spear skills, Chen Yuan stood in the middle of the yard with his spear in hand, steam coming out of his body. With his burly figure, he looked like a fierce bandit in the mountains, with a fierce and murderous aura blowing towards him.
"Is there anything you want to do?"
Chen Luo looked at this "son" and asked.
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why his father asked this question, but after thinking about it, he answered seriously.
"If you want to be a high-ranking official, you must drink big bowls of wine and eat big mouthfuls of meat!"
Chen Luo smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Original intention?
Maybe not.
"Brother Luo San made an appointment with some heroes today. I will go to have a drink with them in the afternoon and won't be back." Seeing that his father didn't ask any more questions, the boy put down the gun, walked to the side and wiped the sweat off his body with a towel, while telling his mother about his itinerary for the day so that she wouldn't have to wait for him again.
"What do you mean by a good man or a bad man? Come with me to the Li family today."
When the eldest lady heard this, she became anxious and didn't bother to talk to Chen Luo. She quickly stepped forward and tried to grab her son.
"I'm leaving first."
How could Chen Yuanzhi let her hold him? He left a word and turned over and went out the door, leaving the eldest lady behind to shout loudly.
Chen Luo didn't look again. He turned and walked out of the yard and looked up.
The storm is coming.
Disaster is about to happen.
Chen Yuanzhi was just as he said. He played outside until midnight and came back drunk. He reeked of alcohol and staggered as he walked.
Squeak.
The door opened in response. Chen Yuanzhi took two steps and his body tilted. He hugged the pillar next to him and vomited violently. It took him a long time to recover. He leaned back and staggered into the yard.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw an unexpected figure.
It's his father.
Unlike the past, my father sat quietly in the courtyard, with a document on the stone table beside him. Judging from the handwriting on it, it should be written by his uncle, Magistrate Tan.
"Come and sit for a while, sober up from the alcohol."
Chen Luo pointed to the stone bench next to him. The yard was very empty. Chen Luo had sent away all the servants and he was the only one in the yard.
"father?"
Chen Yuanzhi sobered up all of a sudden.
Over the years, he was not afraid of anything, but the person he feared the most was his father. Although his father rarely scolded him, the fear was really deep in his bones. He didn't know if it was the shadow left over from his childhood, but he couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw his father.
"You are not young anymore. I have asked your uncle to find a job for you in the county government. You can report there tomorrow." Chen Luo pointed to the appointment letter on the table.
This was the identity he arranged for his 'son'. He wanted to test his influence on the heavenly tribulation.
"good."
Chen Yuanzhi opened his mouth, and even though his face was full of dissatisfaction, the words turned into one word when they came to his lips.
The next morning.
Chen Yuanzhi yawned with reluctance, standing in his father's study, listening to his father's admonition. If it were his mother, he would definitely not come, but he dared not disobey his father.
"You said before that you wanted to be an official."
Chen Luo asked this question for the second time.
"Can you tell me why you want to be an official?"
He wanted to find out the source of this "calamity energy".
The ancestor of the inner demon said, "There is no good or evil in obsession." Chen Luo also agrees with this statement, but he needs to figure out the subtle differences here. Only after understanding the difference between obsession and inner demon, can he calmly overcome his inner demon calamity.
"I just think being an official is impressive and everyone is afraid of me."
Chen Yuanzhi touched his head. He didn't expect that his father would remember it just by mentioning him casually. If he had known this, he would not have mentioned the matter of being an official. Wouldn't it be great to just say that he wanted to be a hero in the mountains!
"fear?"
Chen Luo frowned, and had a rough guess about Chen Yuanzhi's "inner demon". Most likely it was an emotion like "vanity".
If you can't control your heart, it's easy to get lost in this kind of emotion.
"This job cost a lot of money. When you go to the county government, you should listen more, work more, and talk less. When you are done with your training, come back to me and I will teach you how to manage household affairs."
After throwing the appointment letter to his son, Chen Luo stood up and left. (End of this chapter)
