Chapter 262 Chapter 262 Brother, can you hold my hand? If you don’t, I will…
Yes, after all, little Yan Ning is different from other cubs.
And as a parent, he spent too little time with the little one.
Of course, the birth rate of monks is extremely low. The stronger the talent, the harder it is to have offspring. However, because of their strong talent, they pursue the great way more, so many monks do not care much about their children, but he is different.
Cheng Hanqiu thought to himself.
It was like recalling the cool wind of Xizhou, or the pouring rain of Nanzhou. When he was still young, a few of his friends laughed and scolded him, saying that although he had a bad temper, he had more sense of responsibility than many people, so they gathered around him.
Yes, just like what those guys said.
Cheng Hanqiu narrowed his eyes. He was always a little more responsible than some people - so he would not do it again.
Cheng Hanqiu naturally carried the cub to the soft chair.
He put the little guy down.
Seeing the little guy holding the pillow, he cheered a little, turned to look at him with shining eyes, threw the little pillow up, and then kicked his two short legs, using his hands and feet to climb up.
He was quite quick.
After climbing up quickly.
She swiftly picked up her little pillow and turned to look at Cheng Hanqiu expectantly.
Cheng Hanqiu stood there reservedly for a few seconds, then finally stepped forward, squeezed the cub into his familiar, safe little corner, and firmly occupied most of the space outside the soft chair.
It was really crowded, but the little cub was not annoyed at all. He even poked his little head out from the little corner with a frown.
Yan Ning was actually quite sad.
After all, those things are nightmares and shadows.
Go through it all again.
Even if they don't dwell on the past, don't let themselves be suppressed and stop moving forward, or choose to indulge in revenge because of that kind of pleasure, it is not a comforting experience for the cub.
Cheng Hanqiu naturally reached out his hand, still with that fierce and unruly look, and pressed the little head down.
"sleep."
Yan Ning has just entered the Taoist stage. Although he is already a serious cultivator, his body is still in the adaptation period at this stage, so he still needs food and sleep.
After passing the introductory stage and then the tenth level of Qi training, one enters the foundation-building stage. This is considered to be the real journey on the road of cultivation. At this time, the cultivators are essentially different from ordinary people. They do not need to eat food or sleep, and can rely on the essence of the sun and the moon to constantly temper themselves.
And now.
The cubs are still growing.
You really need to eat and sleep well.
As Cheng Hanqiu said this, he naturally pressed the cub's head down.
Everything today seemed like a lifetime ago to him.
Telescope was resting in the Spirit Sword Space, occasionally he could hear the sound of complaints. The little cub was just like the previous few days, staying obediently beside him.
It seems like everything is the same as before, but it also seems like everything is different.
It was difficult for Cheng Hanqiu to describe his mood.
But it's definitely different.
Before, the little guy was still tense and timid when facing him.
Even if they were close, there was still a layer of membrane between them. The thorns did not stop hurting people, but turned into soft thorns, poking him tentatively again and again.
But now, the cub turned over its soft belly and reached out with its little hands to the wine gourd that Cheng Hanqiu had tied around his waist.
Cheng Hanqiu dodged twice, finally opened his eyes, reached out and held the cub's wrist.
"do what?"
The little guy was clear-headed, with half of his head sticking out from behind him.
A pair of eyes that are bright and big.
"Ningning wants to see this."
The little fellow became bolder, and his already chattering mouth became even more active after he answered the question.
"Daddy has been holding this. Is this wine? Senior Brother said it's delicious. Can Ningning try it? Ningning is amazing today. Ningning has already finished reading all those words and reviewed two pages of posts in just one night!"
The little guy had an expression on his face that said, "How can I be so awesome?", and the little brush also stretched out, trying to nod and confirm what the cub said.
Hehe! Its owner is the most powerful!
Cheng Hanqiu was silent for a moment.
"No, you can't drink it. When did Gu Yin tell you that? Has he ever drunk it? ... Did that kid steal my spiritual wine?"
The cub blinked, not knowing why Cheng Hanqiu had such a weird look on his face.
I don't know how I managed to push my senior brother to the edge of the cliff with just one sentence.
The little cub let out a soft sound.
"This kid will become stupid after drinking it."
Cheng Hanqiu chuckled in his heart, having already made a judgment. He turned around and pressed the little guy down again. As he said this, he threw the wine gourd at hand directly into the storage bag.
"Then Ningning doesn't want it anymore."
The little cub immediately shook his head and withdrew his hand.
"Ningning is smart, Ningning can't become stupid."
Ningning hasn't pretended enough yet.
Cheng Hanqiu patted his head.
As a sword cultivator, he had traveled all over the Thirteen States and faced disasters and demons at any time. He was used to having the telescope hanging around his waist. When he really couldn't lift the sword and had to seal the telescope, he had a wine gourd around his waist.
In a blink of an eye, several decades have passed.
He himself is used to it.
But it’s only for half a month.
This wine gourd has hardly been touched.
It was as if he no longer needed the intoxication and drunkenness brought by the spirit wine.
It probably won't be necessary anymore.
Cheng Hanqiu thought to himself.
Stuff the wine gourd into the innermost position.
He looked at the lively cub in front of him.
The cub has pure spiritual energy and the surrounding temperature is slightly lower, like a natural ice jade, which is extremely comfortable to hold around.
Since he came here, things have changed so quickly.
But in my previous life——
Cheng Hanqiu thought about the shadows and fears he had seen along the way as he walked through the illusion of the test and found the little cub. He thought of the little figure who was shivering in the darkness, wanting to resist but could only cowardly protect himself to avoid getting hurt.
Cheng Hanqiu's complexion continued to darken.
His large hand was still patting the cub's head.
"Because of that, fear of the dark? Fear of ghosts?"
Cheng Hanqiu wanted to have a good talk with the cub.
Of course.
He himself didn't feel happy about the little guy sticking to him, well, of course not.
After all, he is a cultivator, and the little guy has revealed his scars today. So he must move forward courageously on the road of cultivation in the future and cannot be afraid of these things.
Cheng Hanqiu wanted to let the cub know that those things were not scary.
"because--"
The cub was still huddled in the little corner where he felt safe.
He held the small brush and pinched his father's clothes. After thinking for a while, he also held his father's white hair in his arms.
"Because Ningning was alone there, they wanted to hurt her, and she had no way to resist. Ningning didn't cry, and they found it boring, so they played tricks on her. For a while, Ningning didn't sleep for a long time."
The bloodline of the ancient immortals is actually different from that of ordinary cubs from the moment they are born, not only in terms of talent, but also in terms of character.
It was like he was so afraid of pain, but when drawing blood and cutting flesh, he gritted his teeth and refused to cry.
Only at the last moment of despair did I shed tears of pain.
But some people are just that bad at heart.
They like to see the flowers on the high mountain fall from the altar, like to see the strong bend, and like to see the strong being destroyed and turned into fragility.
So Yan Ning was scared.
He is just a little kid.
Under such teasing day after day, it is better to say that he has held on until now and has only grown into a little thorn in his heart, which can be regarded as his strong character.
The darkness in Cheng Hanqiu's eyes grew deeper.
He was vaguely irritable.
I can't express my emotions.
Of course he could be afraid in such a situation.
He himself couldn't guarantee what he would be like now if he had encountered these things at Yan Ning's age.
But he couldn't let the little guy be scared -
That's not good for the little guy to practice Taoism.
But one thing is for sure, even if it re-affected his internal injuries, he still felt it was worth it.
That is to use a telescope to smash everything to pieces and cut into pieces the phantoms that were hurting the cubs at that time.
So there is no need to be afraid.
It will always be like this.
Cheng Hanqiu organized his words and tried to tell the little cub this.
But the cub soon spoke again.
"It's very dark there. To keep me agitated, they use some very painful things, and they only light a single lamp. Many people have died there. Even though everything is rinsed and re-tempered at high temperatures after each use, it is still stained with countless soul fragments and has a foul smell—"
The cub huddled behind him, as if reminiscing. There was a faint tremor in the tail end of his voice, but he kept talking.
"Ningning is very scared, but she doesn't dare to say it. She's always afraid that she'll be the next one—"
The next person to die there.
A lonely ghost with nowhere to go.
Cheng Hanqiu looked serious and turned around.
Then he met the cub's clear eyes.
"Ningning has been crying and crying. Ningning kept thinking, it would be nice if there was someone different—"
Xiao Yanning was still pulling Cheng Hanqiu's white hair.
"And then Ningning really saw it."
Yan Ning tilted her little head back.
"I saw Daddy's gray hair."
Cheng Hanqiu looked at the little fellow, his Adam's apple rolling twice, and he was a little choked up for a moment, unable to speak. He could only listen to the cub's soft voice, telling him -
"Ningning hadn't remembered it at that time, but Ningning felt that Ningning was saved. All of Ningning's memories there were of painful departures. Only this time was different. This time, Daddy came, and everything around was bright."
The little guy told him softly just like that - how much he was looking forward to him.
"So, so—"
The cub opened its eyes wide. It was actually a little sleepy, but it was obviously trying hard to keep its eyelids open.
"Daddy, please don't hate your gray hair, okay? I'll tell you a secret. Ningning used to have nightmares all the time, but after having daddy, she has had fewer nightmares. They don't even dare to tease Ningning in her dreams. Daddy is so awesome..."
Cheng Hanqiu was stunned.
The cub's biological clock rang on time. After he finished speaking with all his strength, his eyelids drooped instantly.
Falling asleep in just two or three seconds.
Before falling asleep, he murmured, "Daddy, it's a little hard to find materials for dyeing black hair."
When all the words are connected together, it's really hilarious.
Cheng Hanqiu didn't have time to say a word. The little guy had said everything he needed to say, and he could only look at the cub.
The cub who has fallen asleep looks very well-behaved.
There is not a single thorn on the body.
He smacked his lips lightly in his sleep.
He slowly adjusted his sleeping position in his little corner where he felt safe.
Her whole little face was buried in his arms, with only shallow breathing sounds.
This is so weird.
Cheng Hanqiu slowly pulled the cub out a little to ensure he could breathe normally.
This feeling is really weird.
He actually didn't do anything at all.
But one of the cubs told him distressedly that he liked his disgusting and weird white hair, but if he really didn't like it, he would also try to find something to dye his white hair black.
For the cub, everything seems so simple.
Instead, he was confused in the past and stopped moving forward.
Cheng Hanqiu laughed slowly, relaxed his body, and fell asleep next to the cub.
He restrained himself.
Wait until the soft little cub beside you turns over.
Finally, looking at that rosy little face, my psychological defenses seemed to be broken.
His nerves, which were not sensitive to family affection, rarely showed any warmth.
He lowered his head and kissed Yan Ning on the forehead.
How strange.
Obviously, there was no change in his body's tendons and veins, but he just felt a lot more relaxed.
I even want to say thank you——
I want to say - thank you for trusting me like this.
*
The next morning.
The entire Danfeng is very lively.
After all, some new disciples have joined.
This group of young disciples were all excited and screaming.
He got up early in the morning and walked around the entire Danfeng, and then was brought by Gu Yin to pay homage to his master for tea.
Most of these young disciples are of half-demon blood.
Some even have the characteristics of demons.
The ears are pointed and have a furry feel, and the face is also covered with a layer of fur.
They will then listen to Elder Danfeng's lectures on the mountainside and will not easily come to the top of the mountain again.
So after a simple tea ceremony, a group of young disciples looked at the fierce figure on the high seat with some fear, and quickly slipped away.
Cheng Hanqiu was too powerful. He had killed many demons and some bad monsters in the past. Even at this moment, he was surrounded by that sinister aura.
Not to mention the shocking and weird appearance.
The group of little kids didn't dare to act recklessly and quickly slipped away.
Gu Yin stood with his fellow junior brothers and sisters whom he hadn't seen for a while.
I sighed when I saw this.
"It seems that Master's power has not diminished at all. I thought he was a little more kind and gentle."
Is it just because the junior brother is not afraid of him?
Wu Yi and Zhan Tianyu over there both looked over.
I looked at him with some suspicion and disbelief.
"Listen, listen, what are you talking about."
Wu Yi spoke first.
"Master's majesty is enough to kill people!"
"Brother, some of your ideas are too fantastical."
Zhan Tianyu hid in the shadows and gave a twisted smile.
"Big Brother, I heard that Master has disposed of all the notebooks you collected? Did you dispose of the ones you hid in the other courtyard?"
Gu Yin pounced and covered Zhan Tianyu's mouth.
The eldest brother, who always liked to squint his eyes and smile at people, opened his eyes wide in fear.
"Junior brother, you'd better stop talking."
It's nice to be a dark, twisted, crawling mute.
"I remembered I still have some elixir homework to do, I have to hurry up - Oh, right, there was news from the main peak this morning, you guys should ask Master what's going on, and contact me if there's anything else."
In order to protect the last bit of love stories between men and women.
Gu Yin slipped away very quickly.
Zhan Tianyu watched him slip away without saying a word.
He turned and looked at Cheng Hanqiu.
This noble young master who was always dark and twisted now had some respect for me.
Wu Yi sat not far away, cracking walnuts with his own alchemy furnace.
They had already passed the initial stage of foundation building and should not have needed to eat these foods, but for Wu Yi, this was the only pleasure she had, and she couldn't be deprived of it, right?
She raised the alchemy furnace high, smashed it hard, then picked and chose from it, and finally picked up a handful of walnut kernels, blew them at the corner of her mouth, and stuffed them all into her mouth.
This is a simple and stubborn person, happily chewing walnuts and looking around.
"Why hasn't Junior Brother come out yet—"
Her voice was a little slurred because she was chewing walnuts.
"Oh, that little chubby face, oh, those beautiful big eyes, oh, it's really great. Second Brother, what do you think it will take for me to agree to enter my alchemy furnace? Oh, Second Brother, do you eat walnuts? I'll crack a handful for you!"
And my junior brother, I’ll give him a hand too!
The more Wu Yi thought about it, the more excited she became. She swung the alchemy furnace in her hand with great force.
Zhan Tianyu: "You are sick, stay away from me——"
But in the end, he was disturbed by the sound of the wind. He looked over and couldn't help but say, "What a mess you've made of the walnuts by smashing them like that. Can't you use a little less force?"
With a dark face, he quickly stepped forward and snatched the alchemy furnace.
That's when it happened.
Little Yan Ning yawned and poked his little head out from the main hall. He looked outside eagerly, as if looking for where his father was.
Cheng Hanqiu had already noticed the presence of the little guy behind him, waved to him, and at the same time called the two people who were cracking walnuts over.
Xiao Yan Ning yawned and walked to Cheng Hanqiu.
Then I heard my senior sister screaming beside me.
She even tried to snatch the alchemy furnace from Zhan Tianyu, with stars in her eyes.
"Junior brother!!! You're so cute, little junior brother!!! Senior sister will crack walnuts for you!"
"Calm down! You're going to hit me in the head!"
Compared with Wu Yi, the girl with extraordinary strength, Zhan Tianyu is an utterly weak alchemy practitioner.
He had originally had a dark look in his eyes when he saw the little guy sticking his head out of the main hall door. He actually hated children and kept his distance from those disciples who had just entered Danfeng. But before his dark emotions could flare up, he was completely interrupted by Wu Yi. At this moment, he was still trying to hold Wu Yi's alchemy furnace, but he was about to be lifted up by Wu Yi. His face was full of black lines. The young man in purple clothes no longer looked like a noble young man.
Cheng Hanqiu has become accustomed to the two people's quarrels.
But he was a little hesitant about Wu Yi's close attention on Xiao Yan Ning.
After all, this guy really looks like he wants to eat children.
Then he looked at Zhan Tianyu again.
"The main peak discussed yesterday and organized weekly training for disciples below Qi training, and monthly training for inner disciples below the middle stage of foundation building."
Cheng Hanqiu laughed with some disdain.
"We'll start today. Your eldest brother doesn't need to go over there. You two can take Ningning and take a look later."
"I've never heard of this kind of training before. Shouldn't each peak be governed by its own rules? Why are they suddenly changing it?"
Wu Yi was a little confused.
"Because of Junior Brother's talent, they think he shouldn't be here."
Zhan Tianyu gave a twisted smile.
“So we came up with this countermeasure.”
The main peak of Xuanyun Sect is actually Jianfeng.
The majority of cultivators in Xuanyun Sect are sword cultivators.
When this news came out, it was known that weekly lectures would indeed have a great effect on disciples below the Qi Refining Stage. All the peaks were very enthusiastic about it. After all, each peak had different resources, and it was easy for powerful sword cultivators to attain enlightenment.
This is a good thing for many peaks who do not have greater ability to help their disciples make further progress.
Moreover, they can communicate with each other, and when they go out to practice, people from the same sect will look after them to some extent.
"It's not just the Xuanyun Sect."
Cheng Hanqiu closed his eyes and thought.
"The nearby Chengshan Sect was attacked by demonic sects a while ago, and the sect suffered some serious damage. Last year, Chengshan Sect accepted disciples, and those disciples were temporarily arranged to train in Xuanyun Sect. There are also some demon tribes with pure bloodlines, which can be regarded as a symbol of peaceful coexistence. They are studying together."
Yu Feng must have played a big role in this matter.
But we really can't let Xiao Yan Ning stay here and passively wait for Yu Feng to make a move.
What's more, this is not just the business of Xuanyun Sect.
Cheng Hanqiu really didn't want to give face to these guys.
However, the head patriarch, who was gradually feeling a strange desire to protect others, tried hard to suppress those emotions.
This is the most feared thing in practicing Taoism.
Too much protection can easily prevent the cubs from growing.
What he needs to do is also very clear -
He wanted to try to regulate his tendons and veins again.
He had already developed mental problems while recuperating his tendons and meridians.
Since then, his cultivation level has regressed to the early Nascent Soul stage and he has not dared to move at all, living a life of drunkenness and dreams every day.
But now it should be a little different——
Cheng Hanqiu thought to himself.
He lifted the cub up.
Xiao Yan Ning was digesting and thinking about these things.
He thought for a long time and suddenly spoke.
"Dad, Ningning met someone unhappy—"
"Swear back, what are you afraid of?"
Cheng Hanqiu slowly patted the cub's head.
It seems that nothing has changed, but it also seems that things are really different.
The obedient cub nodded.
"oh."
After a moment, Cheng Hanqiu left a trace of his spiritual sense on the cub and turned to enter the alchemy room.
Wu Yi, with a happy face, and Zhan Tianyu, with an unhappy face, stood together, staring at the little white and soft cub in front of them.
To describe these two simply - brainless and unhappy.
Little Yan Ning was also wearing a small Taoist robe today, blinking her eyes obediently.
"Oh, oh, oh—"
Wu Yi happily extended his hand.
"Senior Sister, can you take Ningning with you?"
Xiao Yan Ning hesitated for a moment, reached out and held Wu Yi's hand, then looked at Zhan Tianyu who was crossing his arms and frowning.
Zhan Tianyu was a little annoyed.
Then I heard the cub say, "Senior Brother."
A soft, chewy baby voice.
"Um?"
"Holding hands?"
Who wants to hold your hand?
Zhan Tianyu snorted and laughed.
"Short legs, I'm so tired of holding you."
Xiao Yanning: ...
Xiao Yanning withdrew her hand.
"Okay, Ningning knows that Second Senior Brother is not doing well, so Ningning won't force him."
Zhan Tianyu: ...
That little mouth is chattering away.
After being provoked, the first reaction is to stab back.
It’s a pity that Zhan Tianyu didn’t realize the cub’s character before.
"Sure enough, Senior Sister is more powerful."
Xiao Yan Ning sighed.
"Although my legs are long, I'm useless. It's okay, it's okay. Ningning understands."
Zhan Tianyu: ………
Wu Yi reacted, suppressed his laughter, and his shoulders trembled.
I said one thing and got a lot of replies.
Zhan Tianyu couldn't hold it anymore.
But it seems that he is about to be classified as a failure.
His face was dark and he held out his hand.
"Second Brother, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yan Ning blinked her eyes.
"Brother, I'm just kidding you," he said, his face darkening as he spoke each word. "Hold, hand, hand."
