Chapter Twenty-Four: Digging into the Ground to See Mother

Mengsheng knew that he was lucky enough to kill Monk Zhuji this time, and that luck would not stick to you like a dog's tail candy forever. Only by raising the Houtu method to the second or even the third layer can he have a fight with the Yang family. But if you want to break through to the second layer, you must first get rid of the demons in your heart. Therefore, what Mengsheng wants now is to go home once, meet his little mother Cai's and half-brother, and all the kindness and injustice can be resolved. But thinking that after the Linggen test, he said goodbye to Uncle Li, and asked Uncle Li to hand over 3 taels of silver to Xiaoniang, and swore that "I only see her in Huangquan." "A cultivator must not break his oath, otherwise he will be sent by heaven when he crosses the tribulation in the future, and he will not be able to survive the tribulation. But if the demons are not removed, the cultivation cannot be broken through.

How good is that?

Mengsheng walked out of the cabin and walked in the medicine field, looking preoccupied.

Seeing that his senior brother was in trouble, Yang Yu stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, why are you so difficult?"

"My brother and sister really don't hide it, I have encountered a bottleneck in my brother's cultivation, and every time I break through, there are demons in my heart, that is, my stepmother and half-brother repeatedly appear, which makes me very troubled. ”

"Then senior brother, go back and meet them, it's also a fate. Yang Yu said.

"However, I swore that I would never see them again in this life, except in the Yellow Springs. What do you think is good about that?" said the dreamer.

"Well," Yang Yu said, "Senior brother, when I went to private school, my husband once told such a story, I still remember it, do I want to tell it to you?"

"I'm so annoyed, what kind of stories do you hear?" Mengsheng said with a wave of his hand.

"Senior brother, you calm down first, maybe you know how to do it after listening. Yang Yu said.

"Let's hear about it. The two of them sat on the ridge.

"When I talked about "Spring and Autumn", Yang Yu really told the story, "Zheng Wugong's wife Wu Jiang had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her first child, so she named the child Kou Sheng, which means dystocia. Therefore, Wu Jiang hated this child at all. When she gave birth to her second child, Duan, it went well, and Wu Jiang especially liked this youngest son, Duan. When Zheng Wugong elected an heir, Wu Jiang strongly advocated the establishment of the section, and Zheng Wugong insisted on establishing Kou Sheng, that is, the later Zheng Zhuang Gong. So Duan and Wu Jiang became angry, and then plotted against him. Later, Duan and Wu Jiang felt that their wings were full, and when the time was ripe, they should join forces and take action. How did they know that Zheng Zhuanggong's side had already arranged to stop. As soon as they made their moves, they were immediately crushed. Duan fled abroad, but how can he deal with Wu Jiang, his biological mother, who acted as the internal response to the rebellion? Severely punish according to law, for fear of bearing the unfilial crime of killing his mother; if he does not pursue it, how can the relationship between mother and son be maintained? After thinking about it, the last way is to let Wu Jiang live in Chengying, which is far away from the capital. And swore that 'I won't see each other until the Yellow Spring.' But after all, they have a mother-son relationship, and after a while, Zheng Zhuanggong regretted it a little. Because of the oath of 'not seeing each other as well as Huangquan', I am afraid of losing my dignity and regretting it. Later, there was a person named Uncle Yingkao, who knew what Zheng Zhuanggong was thinking, and when Zheng Zhuanggong entertained him for dinner, he first picked up a piece of meat and was reluctant to eat it, but put it away. Zheng Zhuanggong was very strange and asked him why. He replied: 'I have an old mother at home. Every time my mother asked me to eat, she always tasted it first. My mother has never eaten such a soup as she has today, so please allow me to take it home and give it to my mother. Zheng Zhuanggong was very moved when he heard this, and said, "You have a mother, but I don't!" Uncle Yingkao asked why, and Zheng Zhuanggong told the truth, and said that he had sworn first, and he could not recover the hardship. Uncle Yingkao listened and said, "This is easy to do. Dig a tunnel in the ground until you reach the Yellow Spring, where your mother and son will meet. In this way, who can say that this is not Huangquan meeting!' Zheng Zhuanggong met his mother according to Uncle Yingkao's method and restored the mother-son relationship. ”

"Little junior brother, isn't this the story of 'digging into the ground to see my mother'? yes, why didn't I think of it? Mengsheng said suddenly, "Thank you, junior brother, for reminding me." ”

So, Mengsheng said goodbye to Yang Yu, and when he left, he gave Yang Yu the body shield obtained from the nine layers of condensing qi, which made Yang Yu grateful again. Thinking that he must have a reason to go out, he went to the deacon elders and asked for a mission to go out.

There are many kinds of tasks in the sect, such as going out to deliver letters, collecting elixir spirit stones, guarding spirit mines, etc., which are the obligations of disciples of the sect, and each time you complete a task, you will get a certain amount of sect contribution points and get a certain reward.

"This nephew, when is it, you still have to do the task of the master, everyone is preparing for the sect competition in half a year. The deacon elder asked, puzzled.

"Uncle Shi, the little nephew really wants to go to the Fang Market to buy some magic weapons, and it is also for Dabi. Mengsheng said half-truthfully, "So just give me a task to deliver a letter or something, and let me go shopping in Xiafang City by the way." ”

"That's it, then you don't want to get any tasks, I'll give you a token, go and go back quickly, it's important to hurry up and cultivate." The deacon elder was empathetic and handed the plaque to Mengsheng.

"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your success!" Mengsheng gratefully accepted the token.

Out of the mountain gate, through the lost stone forest, Mengsheng went straight to the small village where he grew up on the edge of Wanzhang Pond. It seems that Uncle Li has to deal with this matter, so Mengsheng came directly to Uncle Li's house.

When Uncle Li saw Mengsheng coming, he immediately asked Huzi about the situation, and he was very happy to hear that Huzi had already succeeded in cultivating hard. But then he said, "Mengsheng, what is the matter with you coming back?"

Mengsheng whispered, "I want to meet my little mother and little brother." ”

Seeing Mengsheng talking about Cai's, Uncle Li sighed and said: "Mengsheng, the year before yesterday, you went to the spiritual root test without telling your little mother, and then said goodbye, I came back to give you the silver taels, she cried sadly for several days, and often talked about you in the past two years, saying that I was sorry for you back then, but there was no chance to compensate." Your little lady is getting much older. Go back and see her. ”

"But uncle, back then, I swore that 'I won't see each other until Huangquan'. Mengsheng continued, "So I came today to ask Uncle to do me a favor." ”

"Whatever you want me to do, just say. Uncle Li said.

"Uncle, I will go to Wanzhang Tanxi to dig a hole until Huangquan, and at the second watch, you will bring my little mother and little brother to meet, so that you can meet without breaking your oath." Mengsheng looked at Uncle Li.

"Boy, you are clever enough to come up with such a way, okay, you go dig it, and I will bring them to meet you in the second watch. Uncle Li said with a smile.

"Uncle, if they don't want to come, forget it. Mengsheng said as he left.

"No, no. Go dig it. Uncle Li said loudly.

Mengsheng came to a high post ten miles west of Wanzhang Pond, waved his sword and dug down, half a day later, a wide passage went straight to the ground to touch the Yellow Spring, and then opened a room on both sides of the passage, placed several stone benches, sat cross-legged on a stone bench, and waited for the little lady to come together.

At the second watch, Mengsheng heard Uncle Li's voice outside: "Cai, Mengsheng is waiting for you below, you go and see each other." I don't have access to it. ”

"Thank you, uncle, let's go down. "It's Cai's voice.

After a while, Cai's voice came: "Sheng'er, where are you?"

"Go through the front door, I'm inside. Mengsheng thought about the torture he had suffered before, and said in a stiff tone.

"Again, go quickly, your brother is ahead. ”

"Brother, brother. The little brother rushed in first, came to Mengsheng, and took Mengsheng's hand.

I haven't seen him for three years, and my little brother has grown a lot taller, "Little brother." Mengsheng touched his head and smiled.

"Sheng'er, it's not good to be a little girl, I'm going to you-" Cai followed closely, and as he spoke, he was about to kneel down to Mengsheng.

As Uncle Li said, Cai's is much older, and a woman in her thirties is just like a woman in her fifties, with gray hair and a haggard face. Mengsheng remembered what a beautiful woman she was when she first arrived at his house, and then her father died while hunting, and two years later she sent her grandparents away, and it was not easy for a weak woman to pull two children. It's really a dream of sleeping at night, weaving and cultivating, and calluses to support his relatives, but there is no filial piety. Mengsheng suddenly remembered one thing clearly, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake that year, and it was she who used her mouth to help her take drugs to heal her injuries. Cai's various goodnesses are vividly visible. Mengsheng held back his eyes, squatted down busily, and supported Cai's, "Little lady, don't be like this, get up, it's not a child." ”

"Sheng'er, are you willing to forgive the little mother?" Cai looked at Mengsheng with a look of anticipation, "Since you left, I have been scolding myself in my heart, motherless children are like grass, how can you live alone outside?" Come back, Sheng'er, from now on, you are my biological son." ”

"Little mother, I'm worried about you, it's not Sheng'er, but Sheng'er has never been able to let go of you, every time I meditate and cultivate, you will always appear in my mind, and it has become my inner demon, so I want to come back and see you. Mengsheng also said emotionally.

"Brother, don't go, my brother wants you to take you to catch fish and shrimp to play. He shook Mengsheng's hand and said.

"Little lady, in fact, I have never hated you in my heart, I have now stepped into the road of cultivating immortals, I will continue to walk, see you today, I don't know if there will be a chance to get together in the future, you have to take care and raise your brother." This is my wish to meet you. Mengsheng pulled Cai to sit down.

"Sheng'er, I heard Uncle Li say that you and Huzi have become immortals, and it is a rare opportunity for us to meet today, but I will eliminate the uneasiness in my heart from now on, and you should be more careful when you are out alone. Cai said with tears in his eyes.

"Little mother, I have been with you for six years, I have not done a little filial piety, and I can't always be by my side after giving birth. And I don't need any more gold and silver, so take it. Mengsheng took out the two Golden Gu Pills and the gold and silver he got from the storage bag of the Qi Condensation Ninth Layer disciple and handed them to the Cai family.

Cai held his hands in his hands and wept silently.

At this moment, lightning and thunder suddenly thundered, dispersing the fog in the air, and in the basement, a ray of light flashed. Mengsheng and Cai raised their heads at the same time, and the two of them felt a brightness in their hearts at the same time, and their expressions were light, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.

Cai's heart knot has been solved, the dream has been removed, a sense of peace has enveloped everything, and everything has become wonderful.
