Chapter 24 Yu Canghai got anxious!

"Cough cough!"

"Brother, have you forgotten that although I have entered Songfeng Temple, I am still the master's disciple. Strictly speaking, I am also a disciple of Baiyun Temple."

Being stopped in the yard by Yu Canghai, Chu Yuan coughed.

"Junior brother, you have already entered Songfeng Temple. When you say this, do you really think of yourself as a disciple of Baiyun Temple?"

When Yu Canghai heard this, he immediately became anxious!

Of course he knew that Chu Yuan was a disciple of the abbot of Baiyun Temple, and that Chu Yuan was introduced to Songfeng Temple by the abbot of Baiyun Temple.

However, seeing that his junior brother Chu Yuan was too talented, the prosperity of Qingcheng Sect would depend on Chu Yuan.

He was afraid that his junior fellow apprentice was still thinking about Baiyun Temple and had some connection with it.

If the master of Baiyun Temple suddenly regretted his decision and wanted to take Chu Yuan back.

Songfeng Temple and Qingcheng Sect suffered heavy losses.

Originally, he trusted Chu Yuan quite a bit at the beginning.

I think that Junior Brother Chu Yuan went to Baiyun Temple only to follow Senior Uncle Ziyun to learn strange arts and create formations for the Qingcheng Sect.

However, in the past two months, Chu Yuan has been staying in Baiyun Temple for longer and longer periods of time, and the time between his return to Songfeng Temple has been getting longer and longer.

In addition, his son Yu Renyan and four disciples often asked him about whether their uncle Chu Yuan would never come back, which made him worried.

Therefore, taking advantage of Chu Yuan's return to Songfeng Temple, he decided to get to the bottom of this matter.

"Brother, you worry too much. I am naturally a disciple of Songfeng Temple, but I have also practiced in Baiyun Temple for a year. This time, in order to save time and energy when creating the formation, it is reasonable for me to stay in Baiyun Temple for a short period of time."

Chu Yuan explained helplessly.

"Junior brother, is that a short stay? You haven't been back to Songfeng Temple for more than a month? If Senior Brother doesn't look for you, are you going to spend the New Year at Baiyun Temple?"

Yu Canghai felt very dissatisfied.

He felt that Chu Yuan was secretly colluding with Baiyun Temple.

but!

Chu Yuan thought that the Qingcheng Sect was creating a formation, so he went to Baiyun Temple to learn strange techniques. He couldn't find any faults with it, which made Yu Canghai very depressed.

“How can this be possible!”

Chu Yuan turned and walked into the room, motioning for his senior brother to sit on the wooden bench with him to talk.

Seeing Chu Yuan sit down first, Yu Canghai sat down even though he felt depressed.

"I'm back now, right? And in the past three months, I've learned almost all of the Qimen magic, so I don't need to go there for the time being."

Chu Yuan explained.

"Really?"

Yu Canghai said with some disbelief.

"Of course it's true."

Chu Yuan nodded.

He has the ability to enter dreams and his progress in learning the art of divination is amazing.

Three months!
He has learned the basics, and Master Ziyun has nothing left to teach him!

If Chu Yuan wants to continue to improve in the art of Qimen, he needs to spend time studying it himself.

However, Chu Yuan was not prepared and continued to spend time and energy on Qimen divination, trying to become a master of Qimen divination.

Instead of spending that time, he might as well spend it practicing "Nine Heavens Gangqi"!

Master the "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" as soon as possible, and reach the point where the Gang Qi protects the body and makes one invulnerable to swords and spears.

In this world, the strong ultimately have the final say.

As for creating formations, his current attainments in the art of strangeness and numerology were already more than sufficient to do so.

"That's good."

Yu Canghai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior brother, it's not that I don't want you to have contact with Baiyun Temple and Uncle Ziyun, it's mainly because you stayed there for too long this time."

Afterwards, Yu Canghai felt that his attitude just now was too hasty, and was afraid that it would cause Chu Yuan to feel alienated, so he tried to explain to Chu Yuan.

"It is indeed Junior Brother's fault for not considering things carefully this time. It is understandable that Senior Brother is worried."

Chu Yuan nodded.

Although the senior brother was a little anxious just now, from his perspective, his concerns were not unreasonable and he could understand them.

Chu Yuan's words made Yu Canghai even more embarrassed. He changed the subject and said:

"By the way, Junior Brother, during the time you were not at Songfeng Temple, your family came to look for you again. They wanted to see you, but when they heard that you were not at Songfeng Temple, they waited for two days and then went down the mountain and left."

"My family?"

When Chu Yuan heard this, several blurry figures appeared in his mind.

"Since they're gone, forget it. We'll see each other again when we have a chance."

Chu Yuan doesn't care about the Tao.

If he is at Songfeng Temple, it would be okay to meet him.

But since I missed it, forget it.

"When they left, my senior brother gave them some money and property on behalf of my junior brother, but..."

Yu Canghai thought of the situation at that time and hesitated to speak.

"Did they take it?"

Chu Yuan was curious.

"They confiscated it. It was because my senior brother gave them money and property that they got angry and immediately went down the mountain and left."

Yu Canghai looked somewhat helpless.

He originally wanted to give some money and property to Chu Yuan's family to change their living environment, but who knew that this thing did not come true.

"Did you refuse?"

Chu Yuan muttered to himself and suddenly fell silent.

According to his position, he certainly hopes that his family will accept this property.

Because in his memory, that family was really poor and could only barely make ends meet.

The money and property donated by his senior brother Yu Canghai on his behalf must be quite a lot. After accepting this money and property, the living conditions of his family would be greatly improved immediately.

But if the family really accepted the money.

It will definitely make the already thin ties between him and his family even more fragile.

Although it did not lead to a complete severance of relations, it was easier for him to handle.

Just send some money to your family every once in a while.

Simple and convenient!
In this situation, the appearance of his family made Chu Yuan feel a little awkward. "Forget it, I'll go back and see him next time I go down the mountain."

Chu Yuan made a decision.

……

Dayi County.

Huaishu Village.

The first day of the first lunar month is Zhengdan Festival.

The Chu family yard is particularly lively today, with more laughter than usual.

Chu Chunying, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, came back today with her son-in-law Wang Erhe from the next village. The eldest son Chu Qingfeng, who was an apprentice in a pharmacy in the county town, was also at home.

On the door of the Chu family’s house, there were brand new red couplets and door god paintings.

In the house, the adults were busy preparing meals.

In the yard, a chubby and dirty five-year-old boy and a thin little girl with a slightly protruding forehead were playing.

They are Wang Tiegeng, the son of Chu Yingchun, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, and Chu Xinyue, the daughter of Chu Qingfeng, the eldest son of the Chu family.

Chu Qingfeng, who seldom went home, and his eldest son-in-law Wang Erhe, watched their wives busy in the kitchen, and seemed to be doing nothing. They played with the two children in the yard with an uncomfortable look on their faces.

The food was ready soon. After it was served, all the adults and children outside came to the table.

Since there are not many people in the family, women, children, men...

All sitting at one table.

There were only six dishes on the table, four vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes.

Vegetarian dishes include cabbage, cabbage, pickled bamboo shoots, radish, wild dried vegetables and the like, which are easy to preserve.

The meat dishes include dried fish that is dried in the summer and autumn, and roosters that are only slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.

The meal is sorghum rice.

There is also a pot of liquor in a small ceramic jar on the table, which is only drunk during the Chinese New Year.

A glass of liquor was poured in front of each adult man in the Chu family.

Perhaps meat is rarely seen on normal days, and it is rare to eat meat during the New Year, especially chicken, so everyone eats with their mouths full of oil, especially the children, who even put the bones in their mouths and suck them.

"What a pity! It would be better if Dunzi was here."

Seeing that the food on the table was almost gone and the broth was finished, everyone started talking more and more, and Chu's mother suddenly said.

This made the originally lively atmosphere in the room suddenly cold.

"Mom, we didn't see my third brother again when we went to Qingcheng Mountain this time. I heard that he went to another Taoist temple to learn some strange magic."

Chu Erheidao, who went to Qingcheng Mountain with his father Chu Qiao.

"That kid is living well in Qingcheng Mountain. There's no need for us to worry about him. A group of Taoist priests who are about the same age as the eldest brother call him Uncle Master and Grand Uncle Master. They look so respectful to him."

After clinking glasses with his eldest son and son-in-law, Chu Qiao put down the clay cup in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Really? Dad, second brother, and third brother are really living so well in Qingcheng Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, the boss Chu Qingfeng put down the wine glass in his hand and said with some disbelief.

"How could this be true? A Taoist priest who was about the same age as my father entertained us. He was said to be the leader of the Qingcheng Sect. He called me Junior Brother. When we left, he gave us a hundred taels of silver, but unfortunately my father didn't take it..."

Chu Erhei thought about what happened more than a month ago when he and his father went to Qingcheng Mountain to find his third brother and they stayed in the Taoist temple for two days. For a moment he felt like he was in a dream.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen a Taoist temple with tall and magnificent palaces, a wide square, connected houses, and majestic statues of gods.

He also asked his father. The two times his father went to the mountain to find Chu Yuan, the Taoist priests on the mountain were not so polite.

Chu Qiao didn't know that the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple had also reported to Yu Canghai at that time.

However, Yu Canghai was not sure about Chu Yuan’s attitude towards his family.

He didn't notify Chu Yuan, nor did he personally come out to entertain them.

"One hundred taels of silver..."

Chu Qingfeng, Chu Chunying, Wang Erhe, Chu Xiu and others at the table couldn't help but tremble their hands when they heard this.

Chu Qingfeng worked as an apprentice in a pharmacy in the county town, earning only three cents of silver a month.

Wang Erhe worked as a yamen runner in the county town. With his salary and various grey incomes, he earned about five cents of silver.

The two of them are already the highest-earning people in the Chu family.

Hundreds of taels of silver!
It is Wang Erhe’s income for nearly twenty years and Chu Qingfeng’s income for thirty-three years.

If the family had this one hundred taels of silver, the lives of the Chu family would definitely be greatly improved.

"We can't accept that silver. Sanlang hasn't even shown up. Let's not talk about whether he's not in the temple or is deliberately hiding from me. If we accept the 100 taels of silver given by his senior brother, Sanlang will have less and less contact with us in the future."

Seeing many pairs of eyes looking at him, Chu Qiao shook his head.

His eyes were calm and his tone was firm.

After hearing what Chu's father said, the others felt regretful, but also suddenly realized the truth.

"Yes, when my father saw my third brother take out the silver, he flew into a rage and took me down the mountain. I didn't understand why at the time. Later, my father explained to me that if we really took the silver, we would probably lose our third brother forever. Are you willing to give up your third brother for one hundred taels of silver?"

Chu Erhei then said.

Chu Erhei's words made no one speak at the table for a while.

Maybe everyone has different ideas in their hearts, but in front of everyone, no one says they are willing.

"The junior brother of the leader of Qingcheng Sect..."

When Wang Erhe heard this name, he was hesitant to speak for a moment.

"What's the matter, Erhe, have you heard of Saburo?"

Father Chu happened to see the expression of his son-in-law Wang Erhe, and immediately turned his gaze to Wang Erhe.

"Father-in-law, you also know that I am a servant in the Dayi County Yamen. I usually come into contact with some people in the martial arts world and know some news about the martial arts world."

"As far as I know, the Qingcheng Sect is a major martial arts sect in Bashu. Its leader, Yu Canghai, is highly skilled in martial arts and is an expert in both palm and sword skills. He has made a great name for himself in the martial arts world and is a first-class master with a prominent reputation in the martial arts world."

"It is said that around the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he was invincible and founded the world's number one escort agency "Fuwei Escort Agency". At the 70th birthday of the hero Lin, Lin Yuantu, the junior brother of the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, first defeated the martial arts master Lin Shaozhu, the grandson of the hero Lin, and then made Fei Bin, a famous master of the Songshan Sect, suffer a loss at his hands. He stole the limelight for a while, and after the news spread, he has become famous all over the world."

Wang Erhe recalled.

"Erhe, the junior brother of the Qingcheng Sect leader you mentioned, could it be Sanlang?"

Mother Chu said with an incredible look on her face.

"If the Qingcheng Sect's leader, Yu Canghai, doesn't have a second junior brother, then he should be the third brother."

Wang Er River.

"But how is this possible? Sanlang is only ten years old this year!"

Mother Chu found it unbelievable.

　ps: In the previous article, the protagonist was given a nickname called Dunzi, but it was deleted because it didn’t sound good. It should be replaced by Sanlang!
