Chapter 228
Cheng Hui wanted to open the little fat boy's head to see what was inside.
Others say bad things about your mother because they are jealous. Why do you think so, you little fool?
"But...but they said..." the little fat man said hesitantly.
"Bullshit!" Cheng Hui slapped him on the forehead. The little fat boy looked at him in confusion.
Cheng Hui said angrily: "You might as well just die of stupidity."
Seeing the little fat boy looking timid again, he couldn't help but sigh: "Look up, you haven't done anything wrong, why do you always look down?"
The little fat boy raised his head tremblingly, and Cheng Hui looked him in the eyes seriously: "Remember, your mother did nothing wrong. It's her freedom to like whoever she wants. Those people knew she was like this before they dated her, right? Your mother also told them that it was just a short-term relationship, right?"
The little fat boy nodded. These were all what his mother had said, and they had also been approved by several uncles. It was obvious that his mother did not lie about such things.
"That's it!" Cheng Hui knocked him on the head. "Since your mother has already made it clear to them, they can just reject your mother. It's their problem to unilaterally decide that your mother will stay with them forever. It has nothing to do with your mother."
Seeing that the little fat boy was still confused, he could only continue to explain, "Relationships between men and women are very complicated. If your mother wanted to play with someone's feelings from the beginning, then it was naturally her fault. But since she had already pointed out that it was just a momentary passion, she did nothing wrong. If those men don't want to be with him, they can just refuse. It's not like she can't bear to refuse, but then blames the other party for not doing what she wants. How can such a good thing happen in the world!"
"But they all say..."
"Who are they?" Cheng Hui interrupted him.
The little fat man was stunned.
"The 'they' you're referring to are all men who've pursued your mother but haven't gotten her, or women who've fought with her for men but haven't been able to win her over. Simply put, they're just a bunch of people who dislike your mother. What good words can they possibly say?"
Seeing the fat boy start to think, Cheng Hui reminded him, "Think carefully. Has your mother ever done anything wrong to others? If not, why do you think you are inferior to others?"
"I...I...I don't know who my father is..." said the little fat boy with his head down.
"Is it important to know who your father is?" Lin Qingyang suddenly asked?
"But everyone else has a father..." said the little fat boy dejectedly.
"You know that other people have fathers, but do you know that some people's fathers would sell their children to others as slaves?" Lin Qingyang looked at him steadily.
“No… That’s not possible…”
The little fat boy was protected too well by his mother. If he wasn't so weak and naive, he wouldn't have been bullied by those people in secret.
Lin Qingyang sneered, "Being able to sell children as slaves is still considered good. Some people give birth to children only to sell them to demon cultivators to be used as blood slaves or puppets. Do you want a father like that?"
"No... I don't want to..." The little fat boy was terrified and shook his head desperately. In his opinion, demon cultivators were very scary guys. The thought of someone actually selling his child to a demon cultivator made him feel that it was better to have no father.
Lin Qingyang sneered and glanced at Cheng Hui. If it weren't for Ah Hui's intention to teach him, this naive little fool wouldn't need any magic cultivation. He could just find two human traffickers to sell him. In less than three months, he would understand that his so-called grievances in daily life were nothing but whining, and his life was already happy enough.
"Do you understand now?" Cheng Hui said with a straight face.
The little fat boy nodded vigorously. It didn’t matter who his father was, as long as he had a mother.
Besides, he still has Uncle Lan, Uncle Xuan, Brother Mo, and Brother Zheng... Maybe there will be more uncles and brothers in the future, so he really shouldn't complain about the world.
"Go back now and tell your mother all the bullying you have endured before." Cheng Hui gestured to the fat boy to stand up, then helped him turn around so that he faced the door.
"Ah? That's not good..." The little fat man hesitated and said, "They said..."
"Don't listen to their nonsense!" Cheng Hui waved his hand and said, "Listen to me. Tell your mother what happened and have a good talk with her. If you don't find someone to back you up when someone bullies you, that's not bravery. That's stupidity. Do you understand?"
The little fat boy nodded confusedly, and then was pushed out by Cheng Hui.
He walked hesitantly to the door of his mother's room. He wanted to go in but didn't know how to start.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a slender, beautiful woman stood at the door. Seeing the little fat boy, she smiled and said, "Why are you back? Aren't you going out to play?"
"Mom..." Seeing his mother's gentle attitude, the little fat boy immediately made up his mind to tell the truth.
What the senior said was right, he was just bullied, so why couldn't he tell his mother!
"Mom, let's go inside and talk."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then happily welcomed her son in. She felt quite emotional in her heart. She didn't know when her son became unwilling to talk or chat with her. Now that her son had grown up, it was not easy for her to interfere too much. She didn't expect that today he actually expressed his desire to chat with her. This was really great.
Cheng Hui sent the fat boy away and set out again with Lin Qingyang.
Lin Qingyang asked him why he cared about the fat boy. Cheng Hui thought for a moment and said, "Actually... there was a time when I was a kid and I was always bullied."
"Bullying? Who?" Lin Qingyang said coldly.
When Cheng Hui saw his murderous look, he quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. I fought back later. They were in a much worse situation than me."
He was not lying. In fact, he had been bullied for a period of time. At that time, his parents had just divorced and left him to his grandmother. Their divorce was quite a big deal and even the neighbors knew about it.
Maybe children are born with a cruel side, or maybe those naughty kids at the time thought he was easy to bully. Anyway, for a while, all the children living in that area bullied him.
At first, he felt that he was a burden to his parents, so they didn't want him. He was very depressed at that time, and had to face the pointing and talking of the neighbors. He was like a little fat boy, very cowardly.
Later, when he was hit on the head, his grandmother found out about it. The old lady was furious and took him from house to house, watching with her own eyes that the children who bullied him were beaten up by their parents.
After returning home, his grandmother told him that the reason his parents divorced was because his parents were irresponsible and it had nothing to do with him. He was not wrong, so he naturally did not need to blame himself, and he should not punish himself by being bullied by others.
The old lady declared in a very domineering manner, "From now on, if anyone dares to fight you, you must beat them back. If you hurt grandma, take her to see a doctor! As long as you are right, we will not back down!"
In order to prevent her grandson from being bullied, the old lady specially found a retired soldier to teach Cheng Hui some tricks. This was also the secret to Cheng Hui not being bullied after he entered middle school.
It was precisely because he had experienced such days that Cheng Hui couldn't help but give the little fat boy a hand when he saw him.
But there's only so much he can do. For something like this, it will only be useful if the person involved lets it go.
After leaving the city, the two began to fly on their swords. In less than an hour, they arrived at their destination.
This is a rare crescent-shaped canyon. The entrance to the canyon is a long and narrow path. The rock walls on both sides are a thousand meters high, and the rushing river water is surging out.
Walking along the path for about seven or eight miles, the rock wall on the left opens inward and extends for more than thirty miles before being blocked by a Hengduan Mountain Range.
"The scenery here is very nice, very suitable for seclusion." Lin Qingyang looked around. The surrounding mountains were very high, embracing the valley. The lush vegetation covered most of the surrounding rock walls. From above, it was almost impossible to tell that this was a valley.
"It's really good." Cheng Hui agreed. He walked to the river. The clear water was so clear that you could see the bottom. A few naughty little fish were swimming around at the bottom of the river.
As they continued walking in, the vegetation in the valley became more lush. Cheng Hui could feel that the spiritual energy in this valley was very rich. Combined with the fact that this place was connected to the Forbidden Demon Battlefield, he had reason to suspect that there might be a ground vein node hidden in this valley.
Unlike the huge number of water vein nodes, there are only a few hundred ground vein nodes. Each ground vein node is rich in spiritual charm and will inevitably form a place full of spiritual vitality.
Cultivating in such a place was several times more efficient than usual, making it a highly sought-after location for all sects. If it weren't for the sheer difficulty of finding the venation nodes, those hundreds would have already been carved up.
Cheng Hui was immediately tempted. Since the earth vein nodes were scattered all over the place, it was difficult for both good and evil to find them. Those that had been found were occupied by certain sects, and unless they were outstanding disciples, no one else was allowed to touch them.
The Corpse Puppet Sect didn't have access to any earth vein nodes, so Cheng Hui naturally hadn't tried it. However, he had read in the travelogue of a swordsman that cultivating within an earth vein node was a wonderful experience, and with luck, one might even find some opportunities.
Cheng Hui told Lin Qingyang about his discovery. Lin Qingyang also felt that the spiritual energy here was very special, but his senses were not as sharp as Cheng Hui's, so he was a step slower.
There is no rush to find the entrance. Only when the battlefield is about to open can they use magic tools to find it. They came out this time just to roughly determine the location, but they didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise.
The two began to search for possible leyline nodes in the canyon.
The reason why earth vein nodes are so difficult to find is because the vibrations they generate are too weak. After all, the Xuanheng Realm is so vast that no one can explore the earth vein nodes inch by inch. Therefore, most major sects only search within the coverage area of their sect formations, and are powerless beyond this range.
The location of the Corpse Puppet Sect is quite special. Below the mountain gate formation is an ancient battlefield. There is not even a ground vein, let alone a ground vein node.
The area of this valley is not too large, and it is relatively easy to find. This is why Cheng Hui is confident that he can find the node.
The search took two days. Even though the valley was not very large, it still took Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang two full days to find the node.
The earth vein node is located under a cliff on the river bank. It is only one meter in radius, but three seven-star grasses grow there strangely, which shows how rich the spiritual energy here is.
