Chapter 438: No Continuation of Family Learning (I)
Ma Yuanlamb and Zhou Qinglan's residence is in Shixian Town, a suburb of Buhai. Originally, they were in the city, but Chen Yuanshan wanted to refine Wai Dan all year round, so he had to sell his residence in Shanghai and move to this suburb. In fact, it was originally according to Chen Yuanshan's plan. He wanted to simply move to the mountains such as Emei and Qingcheng, but unfortunately he had no acquaintances there, and it was inconvenient to go. Although it was a little noisy and chaotic in Shanghai, the materials needed for alchemy here were very complete, and as long as he had money, almost all the medicinal materials from all over the world could be bought, and gradually he put out his thoughts of going to that famous mountain and river.
Although Chen Yuanshan and his wife do not have acres of land or industry, they are not worried about expenses. Chen Yuanshan is a master of art. At the same time, he is also proficient in medical skills, and he opened a small Chinese medicine hall in downtown Shanghai before, although the hall is small. However, it has a great reputation, especially for injuries and internal injuries of muscles, bones, skin and flesh. In Shanghai, gangs are rampant, and people fight almost every day, and there is an endless stream of customers. Over time, he has accumulated a lot of wealth, and now he has moved to the suburbs, and from time to time some regular customers often come here for medical treatment.
After Zhou Qinglan married Chen Yuanshan, she only brought some dowries with her when she left the Zhou family, and those dowries had been spent when she was in Tianjin, but Zhou Qinglan also had a superb Mao family Taoism, and it was not a problem to pray for blessings and disasters, and her monthly income was much more than Chen Yuanshan. As for things like demon slaying and demon severing. As early as after her first child was aborted by the demonic yin qi, she had stopped doing it. Perhaps it was for this reason that the couple later gave birth to four thou in succession. If it weren't for the fact that they used the Taoist method of double cultivation to consolidate the essence and transform the qi, I am afraid that they would be born one by one a year.
In this troubled world, Chen Yuanshan and his wife, who avoided the countryside, were also free, but the only thing that bothered them was that none of their children was willing to inherit their education. The boss Chen Xuantong is obsessed with life science, and he has always been disgusted with alchemy, and he ran away from home a few months ago. The second Chen Xuanming doesn't believe in Taoism at all, he opens and closes his mouth every day with new ideas, and now he is a manager in a foreigner company in the city, and he married a foreigner, and this year he gave birth to a mixed-race child. Although it is a joy to be able to hold a grandson, for the relatively traditional Chen Yuanshan couple, the joy of this happy event is obviously discounted. The third and fourth Chen Xuanxin are now studying in a girls' school in Shanghai, and they not only disdain the Taoism of Chen Yuanshan and his wife, but even Chinese medicine is called witch doctors, and they are completely immersed in the Western and new studies of the new trend of thought.
Zhou Qinglan's 48th birthday is two days away, and several of their children in downtown Shanghai have all come back from leave in advance to celebrate their mother's birthday. Although this day should be jubilant, in fact, the atmosphere at home is not so harmonious. The two sisters, Chen Xuanjing and Chen Xuanxin, were dissatisfied that their second brother had married a Western woman who was ten years older than him, thinking that he was completely for the woman's money and status in the concession, and that he was a slave without dignity. Chen Xuanming is also very disdainful of his two younger sisters. To think that they are not fit to produce every day, but they just know what kind of revolution they talk about, and they ask for money from their families, they are two parasites.
Regarding the contradictions between their children, Chen Yuanshan and his wife were also helpless. Although they have the ability to exorcise demons and demons, these are completely useless in educating their children. Chen Yuanshan, who was annoyed by the quarrel of his children, simply hid in the Dan room, buried himself in alchemy, and threw all the things at home to Zhou Qinglan, and Zhou Qinglan didn't know how to relieve the tension between his children. They can only be arranged in different small courtyards. In addition to eating, let them see each other as little as possible.
Although the couple also complained about their son marrying a foreign woman ten years older than him, how could they not see that the union between the two was completely in love, so they could only comfort themselves with the blessings of their children and grandchildren. What really worries the couple is their eldest son, since the eldest son ran away from home, the two of them have also cast spells to find his whereabouts as before, but to no avail, as if there is some power in Chen Xuantong's body to stop their mana. "This may be the Huang Ting Sutra that Mr. Xu gave to Xuantong is influencing your spell, you still don't try again, he will naturally come back when he wants to come back in the Dan room, Chen Yuanshan looked at the Dan furnace heat. Slowly turned the martial fire into a simmer, and then turned his head to Zhou Qinglan, who failed to cast the spell again, and comforted him. Although he is far stronger than his wife in terms of his understanding of Taoism, he is beyond his reach for Xuanmen spells, so he can only use his usual speculation to explain why Zhou Qinglan's method of finding people failed, and alleviate his wife's somewhat impetuous feelings.
"It's all your fault! Why did you always hold the Huang Tingjing in front of him before, making him think that this is some kind of treasure, but now it's okay! My son is gone!" Zhou Qinglan, who was a little tired, didn't appreciate her husband's affection at all, glared at her husband fiercely, and while packing up the magic weapon in her hand, she complained unreasonably like an ordinary woman, and said: "Now there is a shortage of soldiers outside, and my son rarely goes far away, if there is a three-long and two-short."
"Ma'am. Don't you know what kind of person our son is?" Chen Yuanshan knew very well that if he didn't stop Zhou Qinglan from thinking nonsense, this resentment would burn himself, so he hurriedly interrupted Zhou Qinglan's words and said: "That kid has been a ghost since he was a child, only he bullies others, and who can bully him! However, I guess that kid should not have left Shanghai yet, he ran away from home in a hurry, and he didn't have much money with him, and he must still be raising money in the places where the few life masters in Shanghai gathered
Hearing Chen Yuanshan's analysis, Zhou Qinglan's face was slightly better, but soon she noticed that something was wrong with her words. He turned his head suddenly, glared at his husband, and said, "Chen Yuanshan, you have already guessed your son's whereabouts, why haven't you said it? Are you happy to see that I have always failed to cast spells this month? Are you not at all in the heart of getting your son back?"
"Ma'am. I can understand that you have a grudge, but don't hurt the innocent by mistake! Where did I guess my son's whereabouts a long time ago, and I only thought of it on the Internet, and I immediately said it when I thought of it, where did I dare to hide it." Zhou Qingci heard the clue, Chen Yuanshan secretly said bad in his heart, and hurriedly explained. In fact, just as Zhou Qinglan guessed, Chen Yuanshan guessed his son's thoughts from the moment his son stole the book, which was different from Zhou Qinglan's thoughts. He fully supported his son to go outside. I have gained a little experience, but I don't dare to say it explicitly. Although he was a little heartbroken about the Huang Ting Sutra, but after reading it repeatedly in the past 20 years, the words on the Huang Ting Sutra can already be said to have gone back to the back, and the scripture is just a symbol of the pursuit of immortal Tao for him. Now the eldest son, who has never been interested in the fairy way, stole this book, but it made him feel that there might be a successor to what he had learned, so he was naturally happy to see it come true.
