The Trials of Leon Chen in the Mystic Valley Chapter 4

Immortal magic is of course easier than ordinary people flipping through volumes of books.

Just put a jade slip on your forehead and scan it with your spiritual consciousness, and you will immediately know the records inside.

Three thousand jade balls may seem like a lot, but if you read quickly, you can solve it in a cup of tea.

Leon Chen was fifteen years old and had only been practicing for nine years. His spiritual consciousness was just beginning and his abilities were limited. His spiritual power was exhausted, and he had only seen one-seventh of the box full of jade balls.

Poor Leon Chen held the jade ball and his expression changed drastically. From confusion, surprise, anger and embarrassment, to finally being stunned.

He has been at the bottom of the skyscraper cliff for nine years. Every day when he wakes up, he cannot remember what happened yesterday. Only his increasing cultivation and the spiritual energy in his Dantian will not disappear with the emptiness of his memory.

His long-dead master Arthur Nan entered Taoism through martial arts, and Victor Shi certainly taught Leon Chen the same way.

A master who has lost his memory is still a master. When Leon Chen casually picked up the hundred-jin boulder, it was difficult for him to lie that he was still in Chen's house, and he couldn't explain why he had no memory after the age of three.

It seems that the scene of catching grasshoppers by the pond yesterday is still vivid in my mind. In the blink of an eye, I have reached the age of tying my hair. The initiation secret method has given Leon Chen a mind consistent with his age. He can dress, read and recognize the four seasons. The changes of day and night, distinguishing objects and knowing their uses (knowing what they are when you see them, and knowing how to use them) cannot cure mental illness.

Someone always tells Leon Chen every day that the person living with you is your senior brother.

Growing up, Leon Chen was not easy to be deceived. Stories that were too ridiculous made it difficult for him to accept intuitively. Usually, what he quickly believed was Victor Shi's identity.

Senior brother...

The senior brother who has gone off grain but still prepares food and daily life for him every day.

Except for going to Black Abyss Pond to practice in the early morning, his senior brother will always be by his side the rest of the time.

Leon Chen was not aware of his dependence, nor was he aware of Victor Shi's patient upbringing and care for him, because he only knew Victor Shi for this day and had no way of comparing him.

Now everything used to be in a box of jade balls for him to look through.

Yuqiu faithfully recorded what happened every day without missing a single detail. From the time when the soft and fat dumpling stumbled on the river beach every day and was tricked by the "old gods" into crying and laughing, to when Victor Shi came back with the dumpling in his arms and wiped his face clean, and played with the clay dolls and sugar figures, holding the fat man out of the pit. He wrote with his little hands, taught the short-legged Ethan to stand and practice martial arts, and helped him regulate his inner breath. These are all vivid in his mind.

When he woke up the next day, Leon Chen never felt hungry, nor did he feel the muscle pain caused by martial arts training, and his spiritual practice had never disrupted his inner breath. During the time when Leon Chen was destined to forget, Victor Shi took care of him silently, just like a habit. I'm afraid even Victor Shi didn't know how much he had done.

---Being bullied to tears by the guys in the Black Abyss Valley when he was a child made Leon Chen angry and humiliated, but the biggest gain from discovering this box was the wealth that symbolized those years. The memories he once had but lost.

Leon Chen was in a daze. Countless familiar and unfamiliar selves overlapped in Cangyu, but in the end they were fixed in Victor Shi's always calm smile.

The boy in white shirt squatted on the ground, his hand holding the box trembling slightly.

Tomorrow, he will forget again all the precious memories this box holds.

"Brother, I want to remember forever..."

A hand was placed on his right shoulder. Leon Chen was startled and immediately realized that Victor Shi was back. He also saw that he was rummaging through things, and his eyes were red with disgrace.

"I accidentally kicked it, and the box was unlocked." Leon Chen explained casually.

A few days ago, Victor Shi had just personally untied the small buns tied on both sides of Leon Chen's head for his junior brother, and gathered his hair into a bunch. This meant that he had grown up and was no longer a child of the same age. Seeing that Leon Chen was in a panic and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, Victor Shi saw the innocent and aggrieved face of Ethan with short legs in front of his eyes, and he couldn't hold back the curved corners of his lips.

The boy in the white shirt froze there, with the words "I was laughed at by my senior brother" constantly circling in his mind.

Victor Shi flicked his sleeves, and the box closed automatically and returned to its original place.

Seeing Leon Chen looking straight at the box, Victor Shi slowly reached into the young man's clothes and took out a small ball also carved from beryl.

Leon Chen quickly grabbed Victor Shi's hand, his eyes unconsciously showing pleading.

For Victor Shi, this appearance of Leon Chen was too new.

---There seemed to be some throbbing in his heart, but because it was too slight, Victor Shi quickly ignored it.

Junior brother has been very well-behaved since he was a child. Even though he has to endure hardships in martial arts, he still performs the most standard movements in a disciplined manner. When he was a child, his legs were short and he couldn't walk on the plum blossom pile, so he used to jump on it. He ate whatever he wanted and never complained. The Black Abyss Valley is isolated from the world, so Leon Chen will not beg his senior brother to give him something like ordinary children.

Sure enough, you were so angry about being deceived that you decided to take revenge on those disrespectful people?

Victor Shi frowned, it was not good to be too impatient. With Leon Chen's cultivation level, anyone in the Black Abyss Valley could topple him to the ground and prevent him from getting up.

"Brother, I only want this one, this one." Leon Chen stared at the jade ball in Victor Shi's hand.

Then he received a slight flick of his finger on his forehead. Victor Shi looked at him---it's a trick. With this jade ball, you can have today's memory. You can read it whenever you want. A box is fine, but can the contents in the box be a secret?

Victor Shi let go of his hand and started drawing sealing talismans on the box.

Leon Chen was already satisfied after catching the jade ball. Judging from the memory he had just checked, he knew that once Victor Shi promised him, he would not go back on it while he was asleep or forgotten. It was enough to be able to remember today forever. As for what was in the box The days are long for those who belong to us, and just like senior brother, there will always be a time when they all belong to him!

Leon Chen slipped aside to practice martial arts in a polite manner.

The punch brings the wind, the closing position is mysterious, the body moves at will, and the antelope hangs its horns. Using the methods of nourishing the Qi and regulating the breath in the world of cultivation, and in turn learning the best martial arts in the world, how can we not make rapid progress?

"Brother, I'm going to take a bath by the stream." After Leon Chen finished practicing, he ran out of the cave without looking back.

He held the jade ball tightly and didn't stop until he got into the woods beside the pond.

He didn't care about anyone, he held his breath and didn't notice anything strange. Then Leon Chen easily jumped up and sat down on a Tangli tree, leaning on the branch, holding his forehead with one hand and holding the jade ball in his hand with the other.

"Well...what do you want to say to me tomorrow?"

Leon Chen thought for a moment, then made up his mind and whispered to Yuqiu: "Don't believe anyone except senior brother, especially don't believe what they say! Senior brother is easy to recognize. He is dressed in red and has a string of silver around his wrist." The rosary is the most beautiful person in the whole Black Abyss Valley."

"Senior brother's name is Victor Shi, and it sounds a bit like 'master'. Fortunately, he is not my master, otherwise I wouldn't be able to call him by his name directly."

"Senior brother goes to Black Abyss Pond to practice every morning, so don't disturb him."

"The owner of the valley said that the cold water gushing out from the rocky bottom of the deep mountains of Motian Cliff is filled with Yin energy. The Black Abyss Pool where the mountain streams gather will flow to the Wangchuan River in the underworld. There is the City of Wishi and the Naihe Bridge by the river. Senior brother is not a Buddhist, he He meditates by the pond every day and transmits the power of tempering the rosary beads into the netherworld, just for the sake of his two apprentices who have died long ago, hoping that they will not suffer the pain of reincarnation. "

Having said this, Leon Chen was a little unhappy. He leaned back heavily on the tree trunk and sighed after a long while:

"The world of cultivation is really troublesome. Master has to refine magic weapons for his disciples while they are still alive, so he has to work hard and teach them more. Do you still have to worry about them after the disciples die?

Our master has died long ago, and no one cares about taking care of our senior brother. "

The young man in white shirt frowned in distress under the sun, and continued hesitantly: "The old Taoist with long eyebrows thought that I would not remember. He once told me that senior brother's fate was very bad. He was alone. He lost his master and his disciples, and betrayed his relatives and friends. Divorce. The disciple was still killed by his beloved, so don’t mention your family or finding relatives in front of your senior brother. It’s best not to mention your nephew! "

"Also, senior brother never speaks, don't be surprised. Because senior brother is practicing closed-mouth meditation. In the world of cultivation, only the Buddhist method can redeem the suffering of reincarnation. It is also said that the body, mind, and tongue are the root of creating sin, so senior brother for In the practice of Heiyuantan, I read the Buddhist teachings on the heart that I didn't understand at all. I have been silent since nineteen years ago, and I rarely use my spiritual consciousness. "

Another familiar but unfamiliar scene appeared in front of Leon Chen: Victor Shi was half-immersed in the water. The water was cold to the bone, and his long hair was scattered. The rosary beads passed through his fingertips one by one. The color became more and more transparent and bright, and the tail end of the rosary beads was submerged in the water. Here, the spiritual power attached to the beads turned into a physical entity, overflowing in strands and flowing into the netherworld along with the water in the pool.

Do not recite sutras or recite Buddhist verses.

Just because of countless obsessions, they are all praying for the dead to return to peace and joy.

"Senior brother's apprentices must be smarter than me, seeing how good senior brother is to them!" Leon Chen said sourly, then quickly slapped himself on the forehead and seriously reflected on himself, "No, I'm still alive. You must not be in front of senior brother. Say this in front of me."

The breeze shook the Tangli flowers off the branches, and the young man's white clothes were hidden among them, but the jade ball in his hand reflected the sunlight and exposed his existence.

Victor Shi found Leon Chen without any effort at all.

When he was listening invisibly, he happened to hear his junior brother say seriously:

"Now, ten years is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Although those old guys deceived me miserably, I can't defeat anyone now. Correction, even if it takes another hundred years, I still can't defeat those old monsters, but, It all depends on the person, there must be a way to the mountain! There is a trick in the cultivation world: if you can't defeat the senior brother, go to the junior brother, and if you can't defeat the master, go to his apprentice. A roundabout tactic will be more effective than beating him when I get out of the valley. , there are plenty of opportunities to collect debt!"

Victor Shi laughed dumbly.

In the spring breeze, the young man leaned on the branch, his body swaying, his expression thoughtful, his jaw raised and thinking hard:

"So there is a very serious question now. Does my senior brother have many enemies?"
