At the Chu Family in Qinglin County of the Great Xia Kingdom, the family skill test is in progress once every three years. The training ground has been cleaned up, and all the training equipment has been removed. But there is a mill in the middle. The mill is shining with light blue light. Look carefully, it seems to ripple slightly like water lines. This is a spirit tool used to test skills, called the ripple air plate.
A young man walked forward, squatted down, lowered his waist, clenched his right fist and raised his elbow, and punched on the corrugated measuring plate. The fist was like entering the water, but it didn't splash. It just formed a ripple and spread to the side, until the scale of "two" slowly stopped. The examiner beside kept watching the movement of the ripple until it stopped moving, Sing loudly: "Chuxing, the middle of the second layer of gas refining!"
"Chu Xing is not bad, and his skill has improved in the past three years!" The onlookers heard bursts of praise, and Chu Yan, the head of the family, nodded slightly with his beard and hands twisted.
Chu Jue, his second younger brother, stood beside him and said with a dry smile, "Yes, yes, it's really my grandson." He glanced at his eldest brother thoughtfully and showed off.
Chu Yan thought that the second child's competitiveness had returned, and smiled: "Second child, your grandson and my grandson are all descendants of the Chu family. We are happy that they have made progress!"
"Brother, Chuyang doesn't know how this year is going?"
When it comes to Chuyang, Chuyan frowns. He is his only grandson. He was expected by himself, but his family's performance in the last skill test was not good. I don't know how this time, I can't help but feel worried and don't speak.
"Next, Chuyang!" the examiner shouted.
Out of the three generations of disciples came a teenager. He was 15 or 16 years old, dressed in blue cloth, with a symmetrical figure, a resolute face, steady eyes, and pursed lips. He looked a little stubborn. It was Chu Yang.
Chu Yang is a passer-by. It has been more than ten years since he came to the world from birth. He still retains the memory of his previous life. He has two generations of experience, which is different from ordinary people. He showed his talent for practising martial arts very early, but when he was eight years old, his cultivation stopped. So far, he has not broken through the cultivation layer.
Chuyang walked slowly to the front of the corrugated air measuring plate, firmly strode, hit it with a fist of luck, and heard a sound of "bang", as if it hit the wood. There were no waves, but some dust. Chuyang shook his head too, but could he still not?
"This..." The examiner looked at it and said, "Chuyang, there is no breakthrough in the gas refining layer."
There were whispers all around, which seemed strange. Most of the outside disciples with poor conditions had broken through, but Chuyang had not yet broken through? Isn't he called the genius of the family? How come it's like this now? This is a bit unreasonable.
Some people felt sorry for him, some people did not win his popularity, and of course some people gloated.
Chuyang ignored everyone's eyes and turned to go down. Then a nasty voice came out: "Ha ha, Chuyang, you really belong to the Millennium Crane Tail!"
The man named Chu Lin is another grandson of Chu Jue. He is now the best in martial arts among the three generations of disciples. He is used to arrogance and arrogance, and seems to be the leader of the three generations of disciples. But Chu Yang goes his own way and does not buy his account, so he has always had a problem with Chu Yang. Today, I saw Chuyang perform so badly, so I jumped out to say something cold.
Chuyang said in his heart, what do you know, the Crosser Bull! If I don't explain, I will soon surpass you. Let you be proud for a while! Chu Yang left him a figure and a raised middle finger, but Chu Lin didn't know if he could understand the meaning of the middle finger.
Chuyan was undoubtedly very disappointed. He sighed in his heart: Chuyang, what have you been doing these years? Your talent is very good. You used to be a genius in your family. How did you become like this now?
The test of all inner and outer disciples has ended. Chu Lin has the highest score, and at the beginning of the third level of gas refining, everyone knows who has the lowest score.
"Feng Er, you stay for a while." After the test, everyone wanted to leave. Chu Yan stopped his daughter Chu Lingfeng.
The daughter knew that her father had something to say to herself, and had guessed it was about Chuyang.
"Father, do you want to see me?" She came to the study and stood with her hands down.
"Ah, my daughter, my father has been busy with family affairs and hasn't talked to you. How are you doing these days?"
The Chu family is a big family. In addition, there are hundreds of servants and disciples. Chu Yan is the head of the family. He is also very busy with chores. He seldom talks with his daughter.
"Very good, Lan'er and Yang'er are obedient."
"Oh, it's not easy for you to take two children with you alone. Is the monthly living expenses enough? Do you need me to add more for you?" Chu Lingfeng died early and became a widow. She dragged her daughter Chulan. Later, her eldest brother Chu Lingshan ran away from home again. Before leaving, she left Chuyang to take care of her. It's really not easy for her to take care of the two children alone.
"Don't bother your father, or someone will gossip again."
Chuyan nodded, but his daughter still knew the general.
"Daughter, is Chuyang obedient? The child hasn't broken through the gas refining layer yet, what's the matter?" Chuyan came to the point.
Chu Lingfeng said, "Chuyang is a good boy. He is sensible, calm, knowledgeable, and concentrated in practising martial arts. Especially, his strength and speed are excellent. I think it's strange that he hasn't made progress in Qi refining. Is it because of his talent?"
"Talent?!" Chuyan closed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and said: "Chuyang's talent is not only good but also very good. He tested his bones when he was five years old. He is definitely a martial arts genius, and can't be wrong."
"Yes, I also know that. I wonder if there was any deviation in the original test?"
Chu Yan shook his head, "No, others have tested it, and it's all normal. There must be another reason. Maybe the child has a heart knot that hasn't been opened. Please understand."
"It's the father!"
Chu Lingfeng said goodbye to her father and went home. She was as anxious as her father about Chuyang's failure to break through the gas refining layer. She decided to go back and talk to Chuyang.
When she got home, she saw that Chu Yang was cooking with his sister Chu Lan. She felt warm in her heart, and the two children were sensible.
Chulan is a shrewd elder sister. She is a bit boyish and good at fighting injustice. She is heroic and has good kung fu. This test also reached the middle of the second level of gas refining. She also hated Chu Lin and could not stand his arrogance. At this time, she was criticizing Chu Lin for his shortcomings. Chuyang doesn't speak a lot. My sister said he listened.
When Chu Lingfeng came back, how could he make the children busy? Clapping her hands, she said, "Go aside and leave it to me. I will cook some good dishes for you today."
The two children set up tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and soon the delicious food was served, and the family began to eat. During the meal, Ling Feng served the two children with vegetables. The whole family talked and laughed happily.
"Chuyang, I want to talk to you after dinner," said Chu Lingfeng.
"Aunt, we want to go together. I just want to tell you something."
After eating, Chulan went to wash the dishes. His aunt and nephew came to the yard and sat on the stone bench under the pomegranate tree. It was spring, and the breeze brought the fragrance of pomegranate flowers, and a few petals fell from time to time, which was very pleasant.
"Aunt, tell me." Chuyang's eyes are like stars at night. He has a tall nose, thin lips, and a determined face. He is really a big boy.
"Chuyang, are you satisfied with the test today?"
"Not satisfied." After a pause, he said: "Aunt, I know what you want to say. I'm really making slow progress in my cultivation now, but you can rest assured that I can catch up quickly, certainly!"
"Can you tell your aunt what you can do, and do you need her help?" Chu Lingfeng looked at Chu Yang kindly.
"As for the way, it's a secret. It's really necessary to help. I'll talk to my aunt about it."
"Oh, what's the matter? Tell me."
"It's such an aunt. Now that I'm old enough to take care of myself, I want to move out."
Chu Lingfeng looked at Chu Yang and blinked. "Yang'er, are you serious? Why are you living well?"
"Auntie, don't worry. Everything is fine here, but I need to give myself special training. I need to find a quiet place. Besides, they are all in the Chu family. They are not far away, so I can meet often." Chuyang said firmly.
Special training?! Yes, Chu Yang has been delayed for a long time. He needs to chase after him. Besides, he has a secret that can't be revealed easily.
"Well, I'll go to discuss with grandpa tomorrow, and I guess he will agree." The aunt agreed happily.
