In the martial arts field, Ye Kong did not make any other requests of Ye Haoran. However, Ye Haoran still ordered the housekeeper to increase his monthly allowance of 20 taels of silver.
However, there was a small obstacle with the second madam who was in charge of the accounts.
"We can't give it to him! That idiot bit off the skin on my wrist. He should compensate us for the medicine! "Ye Wu, who had returned to the room, stopped him sternly.
"Yeah, that bastard is so shameless. He stood outside the ring and said that he didn't lose. He even bit us! How shameless! "Ye Wen cursed as he wrapped the gauze around his arm.
Ye Wu sneered again. "That idiot actually had the nerve to ask Father to teach him martial arts. Tsk, he really overestimated himself. Didn't he see how trashy his aptitude is?"
Speaking of this, Ye Wen laughed. "That idiot really thinks too highly of himself. It's ridiculous. Didn't you see his disappointed expression at that time? Haha …" Ye Wen's laughter affected the sore spot on his arm again. He snorted coldly and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Idiot, I'll get this back from you sooner or later!"
At this moment, their mother, the second madam, said, "You still have to give him 20 taels of silver. Don't let the general know about this. Behave yourself in front of the general. Hehe, I heard some important news today."
"Oh? What news? "Ye Wen and Ye Wu asked with interest.
Then, the three of them leaned their heads together. The second madam mumbled to herself, which made the two brothers beam with envy.
"So, don't provoke that idiot for now. Be at ease, be obedient, and stay at home. Mother will nourish you and strive to make you all have aptitude."
"Okay!"
A similar scene was happening in the third madam's room.
"Mother, that Ye Kong is really despicable. You have to avenge me!" Ye Long lay on the bed and scolded Ye Kong.
"That's right, Mother, you have to help Big Brother take revenge. This fool has become so crafty and vicious now, and Father actually didn't punish him. How hateful!" Ye Hu also said while gnashing his teeth.
The Third Madam was also a martial artist, and her temperament was slightly more straightforward than the Second Madam. She scolded, "Useless thing! You can't beat him, so you want me, a woman, to stand up for him. What kind of ability is that? "
Ye Long wailed, "Mother, it's not that I can't beat him. He's the one who broke the rules."
The Third Madam continued, "I heard from you that this Ye Kong is not stupid. He is very cunning and vicious, so you have to build a good relationship with him." Third Madam looked at her two strong sons and said in a low voice, "You have to learn to use your brains. This fool is smart, and he has offended Second Madam. Are you going to let them fight each other? Do you understand? That ugly mother of his won't get the general's favor, so as long as we defeat the second wife … Mother will be the master of the inner court! "
"Oh!" The two strong sons finally understood and quickly nodded in praise, "Mother still has a way."
The Third Madam smiled proudly and whispered, "Mother has heard some important news today …"
…
Ye Kong did not even know how he got out of Ye Haoran's place. He had been so shocked by his father's words that he had no strength to think.
There was no future in learning martial arts. In other words, his plans to strut around in the Cangnan Continent and ride a horse whip were all for naught.
Give up martial arts for literature and write a beautiful essay? That was even more nonsense. Although he spoke logically, he was actually a person who did not like to study. Otherwise, he would not have dropped out of junior high school.
He felt his vision go blank, and he was in complete despair. However, when he returned to his small courtyard and saw his expectant mother, he could only force a smile and casually say a few words.
Ye Kong was depressed, and he no longer had the high-spirited aura he had in the morning. With his body full of injuries, he followed his mother's instructions and ate some lunch. Then, he went into his room and stared blankly.
In the afternoon, the housekeeper Ye Cai came over to make up for this month's salary, but Ye Kong did not come out.
Although the Second Madam and Third Madam had temporarily stopped fighting because of the mysterious news, Ye Kong was really shocked by Ye Haoran. There was no need to mention the depression in his heart. He was not in the mood to fight with others, and hid in his room as if he had lost his mind.
Chen Jiuniang could see that something was wrong with her son, but she did not dare to disturb him. In the evening, when it was time for dinner, Ye Kong still did not come out.
Chen Jiuniang did not dare to disturb her son, so she could only bring the rice bowl to get the food.
The place to get the food was controlled by a fat woman. Although she was ugly, she was quite narcissistic. She had always hated why General Ye did not like her. Even someone as ugly as Chen Jiuniang gave birth to the General's child.
Therefore, she was naturally very impolite to Chen Jiuniang.
"Give me more. My Kong 'er has recovered, and he was injured today. He needs to eat more," Chen Jiuniang said in a low voice.
The fat woman snorted and said sarcastically, "What? You are favored because your son has recovered? You want to ride on top of us? "
"No, no, Sister Ma, I just want to nourish him." Chen Jiuniang looked at the braised pork in the bowl with embarrassment.
The fat Sister Ma glanced at her and sneered, "Eat more steamed buns to nourish your brain." She took a few more cold steamed buns from the bowl and threw them over.
Chen Jiuniang wanted to say something, but in the end, she took the rice and steamed buns and walked away. What else could she do? These stewards could not afford to offend any of them. Although they were servants, they were all related. This Sister Ma was the most favored Ninth Madam's relative. Even if she reported it to the General, with her ugly appearance, would she be able to do so?
It was better to endure it.
Returning to the small courtyard, she put a few yellow cold steamed buns in her room, then knocked on her son's door and put the food on the table.
Ye Kong thought about it carefully for an afternoon. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was wearing the wrong clothes.
"It's possible to learn martial arts to protect myself, but it's impossible to develop in the path of martial arts."
"No matter how much effort you put in, it's hard to become someone great."
These two sentences had completely defeated Ye Kong.
He was disappointed, depressed, and disheartened.
"This is a far cry from Earth." He did not want to continue staying in this stupid mainland. He started to think of a way to go back, but there was nothing here. Miss Zhao gave him a slap, and he muttered, "Can I transmigrate if I die? Or … I should just commit suicide. "
"Even if I die, I will die with a full stomach."
Looking at the dishes, the white rice was piping hot, just like on Earth. Looking at the vegetables on top, they were green vegetables.
Although there was no meat, it was still delicious. But as he ate, he suddenly thought of something.
Ye Kong put down the chopsticks in his hand, opened the door and walked out of the room. At this moment, the moon was hanging high in the sky, but the sky was not dark yet. Such a big moon with a red halo, it had a magnificent beauty that could not be seen on Earth.
"It's a pity that I can't stay here for long." Ye Kong sighed as he pushed open the door to Chen Jiuniang's room.
"Kong 'er." Chen Jiuniang was startled, and she subconsciously hid the cold steamed bun in her hand behind her back.
Ye Kong's eyes widened. He came here because he guessed that his mother must have given him all the food, so he wanted his mother to go over to his place to eat some.
But who knew that his mother could not even eat white rice, and could only hide in the room to eat cold steamed buns!
"Mother, are you going to eat this?" Ye Kong's anger soared to the heavens.
"It's fine, it's fine. Mother … loves to eat steamed buns." Chen Jiuniang seemed to be afraid that her son did not believe her, and she used all her strength to eat a few more mouthfuls of steamed buns. But the steamed buns had already lost their moisture, and were dry and hard, choking her to tears.
Although she was not his biological mother, and although they did not have any feelings for each other … seeing this scene, Ye Kong could not bear it!
"F * ck these immortals! I will chop them to death! "Ye Kong turned and left.
"No! Kong 'er, Mother is fine, so don't cause trouble. Mother only wants you to be well, and that's enough. " Chen Jiuniang pounced forward and hugged her son, and with tears in her eyes, she pleaded, "You don't know how happy Mother is now that your mind is clear. But Kong 'er, you are only twelve years old, and you can't win against them. Mother is most worried about you now. As long as you are well, Mother can eat bran and drink porridge, but if something happens to you, how can Mother continue living …"
By the time Chen Jiuniang finished speaking, her tears were already falling like rain.
Ye Kong was just thinking of committing suicide and returning to Earth, but when this scene happened, he realized how cruel he was!
Not only did he eat the soul of Chen Jiuniang's son, but now he wanted to end his life with his own hands. And if he died, Chen Jiuniang would not be able to live on either.
No! I want to live on! I want to live on with Ye Kong's life! Not only do I want to live a better life, I want these evil and heartless people to pay the price!
Ye Kong clenched his teeth and slowly raised his head, as if he was forcefully swallowing something down …
This breath was really hard to swallow, but he swallowed it down. At this moment, he had also firmed his conviction, crushing all the depression and dispiritedness in the afternoon!
Hatred was also a kind of motivation!
After a long time. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and loosened his clenched fists.
"Mother, don't worry. One day, I will let them understand that if they eat what I have, they have to spit it out. If they take what I have, they have to return it. If they bully me … it will be too late for regrets!"
The night in Cang Nan Continent was brighter and quieter than on Earth. The moonlight shone through the window lattice, which had already been torn in countless places, and sprinkled the floor in front of the bed with specks of white light, making people feel a little cold.
"The moonlight in front of the window is like frost on the ground. Raising my head to look at the bright moon, lowering my head to think of my hometown … "This was one of the few poems that Ye Kong could remember. Reciting it at this moment, it was quite appropriate.
However, his homesickness didn't last long. Since he had already decided to persevere in this strange and cruel continent, he had to restrain these emotions, and even forget his identity as an Earthling. He had to integrate into this world that didn't have much warmth, and fight for a trace of dignity and happiness for himself.
Ye Kong sat cross-legged on the bed. He had already adapted to the air in Cang Nan Continent, and no longer felt uncomfortable. However, he could still feel the spiritual energy in the air.
Obviously, compared to the daytime, the water element spiritual energy was much more abundant, the wood element spiritual energy was also somewhat increased, the earth element was unchanged, and the fire and metal elements were so weak that they were almost undetectable.
Ye Kong speculated that this was probably because he came from Earth, where the spiritual energy was thin. It was like a person who had lived in an oxygen-deficient environment for a long time suddenly coming to a plain with abundant oxygen. Of course, the feeling of subtlety would surpass that of a person who had lived in a plain for a long time.
Ye Kong suddenly felt that he wasn't completely useless. He was more sensitive to Spiritual Qi than the people of Cangnan Continent. Could this be a place where he could start?
He had read a lot of Xianxia and Wuxia novels. Absorbing the Spiritual Qi of the five elements to benefit oneself, seizing the fortune of heaven and earth to enjoy the fate of immortals. Ye Kong knew all of this. Those novels had written it very clearly. Absorbing spiritual energy and storing it in the Qi Sea. When it was time to use it, one could just release the spiritual energy. Wouldn't that be fine?
Even if he couldn't become an immortal, he could cultivate internal energy or Qigong and open up the Conception and Governing Vessels. That would be fine too. After a few years of cultivation, he could become a martial arts master and travel the world, doing chivalry and helping the weak. Then, he could make a name for himself in Jianghu. Who would dare to look down on him and bully his mother?
However, it sounded simple, but it wasn't that simple to do.
How to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth? Deep breaths? Seizing the fortune of heaven and earth? How? And the Conception and Governing Vessels … I didn't read the novels seriously, so I really don't know where the Conception and Governing Vessels are.
"Whatever, let's meditate first."
Ye Kong still knew about meditation. He sat cross-legged on the bed with his palms facing up and placed them naturally on his knees. He adjusted his breathing and cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. Then, he slowly entered the state of meditation.
Needless to say, entering the state of meditation was quite difficult. It was not easy to enter the state that was like sleeping but not sleeping, with no distracting thoughts in the mind.
However, Ye Kong was also a person with a firm mind. Since he had made up his mind and there was no other way out, he could only get rid of all thoughts of wishful thinking and practice hard.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Kong's legs were a little numb from sitting. The sleepiness in his mind kept rising. His eyelids felt like they were thousands of kilograms. He couldn't wait to fall on the bed and sleep. Only then would he be happy.
"Persevering to the end is victory!" Ye Kong dispelled the wishful thinking of "I'll think about it tomorrow" in his mind. He jumped off the bed and stretched his legs. Then, he found a large embroidery needle that Chen Jiuniang used for work.
"The ancients hung their heads on a beam and pierced their buttocks with an awl. Today, I'll also learn!" Ye Kong climbed onto the small bed again and sat cross-legged.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Kong's thighs had been pierced by a few needles. Traces of blood had left dots on the coarse cloth of his trousers.
However, Ye Kong still persisted. He didn't believe that he couldn't even pass the stage of meditation.
Another two hours passed. In a daze, Ye Kong finally entered a state where he was half asleep and half awake for the first time. His breathing was calm, slow and rhythmic. His mind was clear, but it was also empty, not thinking of anything. Both of his eyes were slightly opened, but the scene that he saw was not the moonlight in front of him.
He also didn't know where he was. He felt that he was in a chaotic void. The surroundings were covered by clouds and fog. He couldn't see the outside, but the space was empty.
Ye Kong was stunned for a moment. He quickly looked at himself and found that he had become a white ball of light.
This was his soul! After he entered meditation, he actually came to the place where he had the great battle with the fool last time!
Ye Kong didn't understand why he was here. He also didn't know where a person's soul was. In any case, it shouldn't be in the Dantian. It should be in the mind or the Purple Mansion.
Suddenly, he found that he wasn't the only one in the space. Above him, there was a budding golden light!
What was that? Ye Kong flew up.
He saw that the golden light was hanging high in the center of the space. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It was about the size of the fool's soul. However, it was very bright. The golden light was shining brightly, like a red sun in the space.
However, Ye Kong knew that it was definitely not a sun. The object in the golden light was flat and felt like a book.
Why is there a book in my mind? Ye Kong felt that his guess was laughable.
However, when he flew not far above the golden light, he was surprised. "Oh my god! It really is a book! There's a book in my mind! "
