The Trials of Leon Chen in the Mystic Valley Chapter 2

"Everyone knows that picking up gold is a good idea. How could you make someone else's child a fool?"

An old man with a gray beard had a headache, his heart was pounding, and his feet were jumping. Seeing that Victor Shi was meditating with his eyes lowered and showing no response, the old man became even more angry and started to roll down his sleeves.

At this time, a soft white hand timidly grabbed the hem of the old man's robe.

"Baby, are you awake? Don't be afraid, I'll ask him to take you back!" The old man slapped his skinny chest.

"Are you the new steward?"

...

Victor Shi opened his eyes, and the people who had been squatting in a hidden corner to watch the show looked at each other in confusion.

"Ahem, I'm not a manager, I'm the owner of the Black Abyss Valley on Motian Cliff. Baby, do you know what the owner is? The valley is the valley of the barn, and this is a valley." The old man puffed up his chest and pressed the three neatly trimmed locks of his hair. Beard waved his hand with an air of dignity, "That's it---"

"The steward of this barn?" Leon Chen blinked.

"puff."

There were sneers in the dark, and the old man turned around in embarrassment and yelled: "Who's there?"

"This place is a barn, and the most we can get is a dustpan of sorghum."

"Buckwheat! Buckwheat grows faster."

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He picked up the confused child and put it on the futon. He grabbed his little chubby hand like a lotus root and shook it gently. He pointed at the silver bell on his wrist and asked, "Are you from the Chen family in Yunzhou Prefecture?" , who is your father?"

"Dad, that's... daddy." The child muttered and puffed up his mouth.

"What kind of business do you have at home?"

Ethan lowered his head in a daze and began to play with the hem of his clothes.

The old man cast doubtful glances at the others. This baby was about to leave his twilight years. If he was not big or small, he should know something. How could he not know all the questions?

Looking at Victor Shi fiercely, the old man felt that Victor Shi had frightened the child.

The old man dug in his pocket, and it took him a long time to find a shriveled wild fruit. He handed it over and coaxed him and asked, "Why are you so far away in the mountains and fields when you are not playing at home?"

Ethan raised his face and answered seriously: "I didn't come to the mountains and wild places... I was at home, in the yard, by the pond."

...

When did a little baby playing in the backyard pond fall into the skyscraper barrier and turn into amber?

This child was knocked unconscious by a strongman at home and thrown off a cliff at night!

A group of cultivators looked at me and me, all looking puzzled - kidnapping a little baby and rushing into the mountains just to throw the child at the bottom of a deep mountain cliff? How much hatred is this?

"Victor Shi, what's going on?"

Facing everyone's questions, Victor Shi stood up and walked to Leon Chen, wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw away the shriveled fruit in the child's hand, and took out a basket of steaming steamed buns from his magic bag. , the aroma was so tempting that Leon Chen stared at him without turning his eyes.

"Wait, where did you get the meat bun? There hasn't been anything like this in Motian Cliff for hundreds of years!" The old man took three steps back with a horrified expression.

Victor Shi bought not only meat buns at the foot of the mountain, but also soft quilts, embroidered satin pillows, tiger-head shoes, and even bellybands.

Now that we have decided to take this child away, how come there is no plan? Victor Shi couldn't do such a goddam thing as stuffing a Bigu Pill into a child's mouth and leaving it alone.

Leon Chen swallowed hard and only stared at the buns without eagerly grabbing them to nibble.

"This kid is well behaved." The old man muttered.

Victor Shi's eyes became colder as he reached out to touch the back of the child's head.

No child is born well-behaved. All children are noisy. Babies cry because they feel uncomfortable. Toddlers cry because they observe the reactions of the people around them. If the people around them ignore them regardless of whether they laugh or cry, the child will become dull. Dumb and dull, he looks well-behaved and honest.

Victor Shi once again confirmed the location of the congestion in Leon Chen's brain and slowly withdrew his hand.

It takes too long for the blood to clot, and forcibly breaking it will damage the meridians. It can only be done step by step. It is best to let Leon Chen practice his own exercises to solve this hidden danger.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that this child, who is sitting on the futon without moving, is a mentally retarded fool.

---No, they have deceived the entire Black Abyss Valley.

Victor Shi smiled slightly and put the meat bun with the right temperature into Leon Chen's hand.

Ethan looked at Victor Shi hesitantly, with his hair untied and wearing a wide-sleeved robe. He always felt that this person was different from the person in his memory. The servants of the Chen Mansion smelled of sweat, and the maids smelled of powder, but there was no one in front of them. Instead, they looked like the pure water of the Buddha Lotus enshrined in the house, which was everlasting and fragrant.

Leon Chen lowered his head blankly and approached the meat bun.

It smells so good.

It was warm, just like the hand that touched my hair just now.

Leon Chen raised his head and glanced around again, then moved to hide behind Victor Shi, and carefully took a bite of the bun. The heat of the meat juice touched his mouth, soothing his hungry belly.

"This child's face---"

An old man with profound magical power saw the clues. He quickly stretched out his hand to figure it out, and the long white eyebrows dragging to the cheekbones shrugged in a very funny way.

Ethan was amused and giggled.

The Taoist stretched out his hand to touch Leon Chen's bones, but Victor Shi took a step forward and stood aside without leaving any trace.

"You?" The Taoist suddenly realized, "This child also has a fate of three calamities and nine tribulations, the same as you?"

Victor Shi didn't answer and stuffed another meat bun into Leon Chen's hand.

"Come on!" The owner of the valley looked up to the sky and sighed, "This trouble is yours, we don't care!"

After saying that, he left, including those who were watching the fun.

Subtle voices came from outside the cave.

"Valley Master, is this really okay?"

"What's wrong? When Victor Shi first came to Black Abyss Valley, all his thoughts were lost, and he was like a dead thing. Now I stuff a doll just to make trouble for him, and it also saves him from queuing up in the underworld earlier than us at such a young age! B@st@ard, Don’t you know that the number of underworld officials is very tight now?”

"Then the child's family..."

"Since his fate is like this, it's okay not to send this son back home." The Valley Master sighed leisurely, "Is it possible that Victor Shi has a compassionate heart?"

***

Not long after the Lord of Black Abyss Valley said this, he regretted it.

It's boring all day long at the bottom of the skyscraper cliff, and everyone is tired of looking at each other. Now that there is an extra little baby, the cultivators feel it is very rare.

"Valley Master, that doll is very well-behaved. It doesn't cry or make trouble, and it will laugh when it is teased."

Idiot, not all children are like this.

"Grand Master, that baby is white and tender, much whiter than the Ganoderma lucidum baby I raised."

Fool, who told you not to grow ginseng? That one is the whitest.

"Valley Master, Victor Shi invited Arthur Nan's tablet. Judging from this posture, it seems that he wants to accept a disciple on his behalf."

"It's no wonder." The Lord of Black Abyss Valley stroked his beard and said, "All the disciples that Victor Shi had accepted are dead. Although the mortal physiognomist is not good enough, he often regards the three tribulations and nine disasters as the overcoming of great evils. But Victor Shi himself is probably very concerned about it. Putting the child under Arthur Nan's name and raising him as a junior would be a way to get around Victor Shi's worries. "

"It's just a title. Anyway, it's difficult for the masters and apprentices of the sect to meet even once. Which one is not the basic technique taught by the senior brother." A cultivator said mockingly, "I am much closer to my senior brother than to my master father." "

"If you're envious, go get a doll yourself and stop yelling in front of me." The Valley Master said angrily.

"Ha...this is it."

Everyone immediately dispersed like birds and disappeared without a trace.

It's not that they don't have apprentices and juniors, it's just that most cultivators are unwilling to accept such young children.

---They will only ask for the great supernatural powers of Taoist Wenxian, but will not take care of children.

As a young child, he is still ignorant of worldly affairs. If I don’t experience the world of mortals for three thousand years, I’m afraid that it will be difficult for me to see the way and break through the tribulation in the future.

The valley owner thought for a moment and decided to go back and persuade Victor Shi to give the child to the hunters in the mountains to raise him and then take him back when he becomes an adult.

As soon as he stepped into the cave on the mountain wall where Victor Shi lived, someone came up to him with a complicated expression and whispered, "Valley Master, there is something wrong with this child."

"What?" The Lord of Black Abyss Valley immediately became alert.

The soft white dumpling in the cave was wrapped in a newly bought quilt. He curled up at Victor Shi's feet and fell asleep sweetly. He was also snoring. He was sleeping very well. He didn't kick off the quilt or roll around. The child is very relieved.

Seeing the Master of Black Abyss Valley leaving and returning, Victor Shi didn't even raise his eyes and remained in a cross-legged posture without moving, so as not to disturb Ethan, who was lying half of his body on his lap.

"While Victor Shi was wiping his face, we coaxed him to ask him how old he was, and the result was--" The expression on this cultivator's face was extremely wonderful. It was better than hearing that his apprentice was more secular and had four wives. Still looking shocked.

"Three years old." Ethan answered with his head tilted and looked around confusedly, as if he wanted to find some evidence, but this was not the Chen Mansion, and there was no maid or servant scolding him for his nonsense.

No matter how lost he should be, he should be in the Chen Mansion, so if he just waits and sleeps here, he can be found by his servants.

Leon Chen's behavior that was inconsistent with his age finally aroused the vigilance of the cultivators, who looked at Victor Shi. After patting Ethan on the back and waiting until Leon Chen fell asleep, Victor Shi nodded to them.

There is an uproar. For a child with mental problems, it is very difficult to teach him to seek the Supreme Way, even to be sensible!

Victor Shi didn't care at all.

After knowing that Leon Chen was mentally retarded, he thought about a solution.

Even if Victor Shi is not proficient in the secret techniques of various sects in the world, he still knows a thing or two.

The technique of tantric enlightenment is suitable for Leon Chen.

Leon Chen fell from the sky cliff and fell into the barrier and was trapped in it. The meridians and apertures were loosened by the spiritual power. This was a good opportunity to initiate the secret method.

The master of the Black Abyss Valley was so keen. When he saw Victor Shi's calm eyes and the look of someone already planning something, he guessed the rough idea and quickly stopped him: "Absolutely not. This kid's mind is deficient. He doesn't know what the problem is yet. Use the method of initiation." , I’m afraid it’s inappropriate!”

Victor Shi seemed as if he hadn't heard anything.

Seeing that he was determined to have his own way, the Lord of Black Abyss Valley took the child away with quick eyesight.

Ethan was woken up, rubbed his eyes, and looked around confusedly.

"Be good, don't be afraid." The owner of the valley was worried that the child would be frightened and crying, so he quickly comforted him.

Unexpectedly, Leon Chen blinked his eyes blankly, tilted his head and asked:

"Are you the new steward?"

"It's the Valley Master! Huh?"

The master of Black Abyss Valley felt something was wrong, so he stopped and stared at Leon Chen.

Ethan was a little frightened by him and trembled slightly, but did not dare to struggle.

"Little doll, what's your name?"

"Chen... He." Ethan said inarticulately.

This name is on the bell hanging on the silver circle, and everyone knows it. Being able to say his own name didn't seem too stupid, but the next second, the Valley Master's luck was broken.

"Where is this?" Ethan bit his finger and glanced at Victor Shi without stopping at all. He looked around as if he was looking at a completely unfamiliar world.

The owner of the valley remembered what someone had said to him just now that there was something wrong with the child. He was shocked and immediately asked:

"Little doll, how old are you this year?"

"Three years old."

Great, exactly the same answer. Damn it, didn't this kid realize that he was much older than three years old?

"You weren't playing at home, why did you come here?"

"I don't know, I just caught a grasshopper next to the pond." Ethan tilted his head and thought, "Then I fell into the water. Grandpa, steward, where is this place? Grandma must be very angry. I don't dare to run around anymore." "

"You don't know me?" The valley owner was shocked. He held the child in front of Victor Shi, pointed at Victor Shi and asked, "You haven't seen him before?"

Ethan looked at him innocently and shook his head.

...

This kid is actually not stupid! It's a mental illness!

"Come on, you can use whatever secret method you want, whether it's the initiation technique or the soul-inducing technique." The master of Black Abyss Valley stuffed the child back to Victor Shi in frustration: "Anyway, you fed me a few meat buns in vain this morning! "
