In the central room, Teng Yunlong and the other adults all turned to look at Teng Qingshan. From beginning to end, they did not ask Teng Qingshan for his opinion. In their eyes, although Teng Qingshan was talented, he was only a six year old child. How much could a six year old child know about the future?
How could a child make decisions like this?
"Qingshan." Teng Yunlong smiled kindly and said, "The Gui Yuan Sect is the number one sect in Yangzhou's Jiangning County. When you go there, you will be able to obtain a secret technique and cultivate inner strength. When you cultivate inner strength, you will be one of the best men in Yi City! "
"I don't want to go." Teng Qingshan shook his head firmly.
He didn't have a good excuse for the time being. After all, he was only a six year old child.
"Master, I think we should wait for another two years." Teng Yongfan was still reluctant to part with his son.
"Hmph, Yongfan, you have to think about Qingshan's future!" Teng Yunlong's face darkened.
The silver-haired old man with a sarcoma on his forehead had a gloomy expression as he scolded, "Yongfan, your son's future is boundless. Don't ruin your son's future!" This Third Grandpa was famous for being strict in Teng Jia Village. Ordinary children would be too scared to speak when they saw him.
"I don't want brother to go!" Little Qingyu cried out and actually started crying.
"Qingyu, don't cry." Yuan Lan immediately hugged her daughter.
"Little Yu, be good. Don't cry. Brother won't go. " Teng Qingshan touched his sister's smiling face and then turned to look at the adults. "Grandfather, why must I go to the Gui Yuan Sect? I don't want to go! " Teng Qingshan had no other choice. At this time, he could only rely on his identity as a child and throw a tantrum!
"Qingshan, stop it!" Teng Yunlong scolded.
"Qingshan! What does a child like you know? Listen to me! "The Third Grandpa also scolded.
Teng Qingshan didn't want to go.
Even if there was a method to cultivate inner strength, he didn't dare to cultivate it. This was because … the cultivation method of inner strength was actually to open up the meridians and let the inner strength circulate in the body, strengthening the inner strength. Teng Qingshan had some understanding of this from the Millennium Chronicle, and he also knew the secret manual of Crossing Worlds.
However, many of his meridians had yet to be opened.
If he were to forcefully open his meridians according to the secret inner strength technique, it would only cause the other meridians to accumulate impurities, making it harder to open. Then, his advantage as a cultivator of the Internal Martial Arts would vanish. Therefore, Teng Qingshan would not practice the so-called secret technique before he could open all the meridians in his body while practicing the Internal Martial Arts.
After all, the cultivators of the Internal Martial Arts had an advantage in opening up the meridians. Although the speed of improvement in the early stages was not fast, in the later stages, all the meridians in the body could be opened up.
Cultivating the secret manual now would be harming him!
However, these words, Teng Qingshan simply could not say!
"I won't go." Teng Qingshan shook his head.
The Third Grandpa's face darkened and he shouted, "Presumptuous! What does a child like you know? Remember, listen to the adults! We are doing this for your own good! "
"Qingshan." Teng Yunlong's face also darkened.
"Even if you send me there, I won't practice the secret manual in front of me!" Teng Qingshan said, "At that time, when one year is up, the Gui Yuan Sect will kick me out again."
The Third Grandpa pointed at Teng Qingshan and wanted to scold him, but he didn't know what to say.
Indeed, if they sent Teng Qingshan there, if Teng Qingshan did not practice the secret manual, then they really couldn't do anything.
"Qingshan, you are too reckless." Teng Yunlong's anger surged. As the patriarch, his prestige could not be violated. He shouted, "I watched you grow up, and you have always been obedient. How can you be so reckless this time? Be obedient, and when you grow up, you will understand grandfather's painstaking efforts. "
Teng Qingshan shook his head slightly, but he didn't say anything.
A silent protest!
The group of adults in the central room suddenly didn't know what to do. Teng Qingshan had always been obedient, and this was well-known. Why was he so stubborn today? The more obedient a child was, the harder it was to persuade him when he was really stubborn.
"If he is not obedient, Yongxiang, Yonglei, you two take Qingshan out and lock him in the woodshed!" Teng Yunlong ordered.
Teng Yongxiang and Teng Yonglei were startled.
"Master …" Teng Yongfan couldn't help but say anxiously.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Teng Yunlong's eyes widened. Teng Yongxiang and Teng Yonglei could only choose to accept and looked at Teng Qingshan. "I will go myself!" Teng Qingshan didn't say anything else and strode towards the door. Teng Qingshan didn't need to be escorted, so he took the initiative to walk towards the woodshed beside the courtyard. This was out of everyone's expectations.
"Godfather." Yuan Lan was anxious.
"Master." Teng Yongfan also looked at Chief Teng Yunlong.
Teng Yunlong sighed, "I really don't know what is wrong with this child Qingshan. He has always been obedient, but today he is so stubborn. However, he is just a child … If we lock him up for a few days, he will change his mind. Lan, Yongfan, you two can't let Qingshan out! Of course, three meals a day must still be prepared. "
"Yes, Godfather (Master)." Teng Yongfan and Teng Yongfan agreed helplessly.
"Even an adult wouldn't be able to stand being locked up in a small, dark place in the woodshed for a few days. A six year old child wouldn't be able to stand it after a few days. Let him out when he admits defeat, "Teng Yunlong said. At this point, Teng Yunlong had no other way.
Teng Yunlong had no other way to deal with a six year old child, especially his grandson.
Use torture? He couldn't bear to.
Persuade? It was useless.
Locking up Teng Qingshan was the only way for now.
*****
Normally, children loved to play and couldn't bear to be restrained. Although Teng Yunlong and the others thought highly of this gifted child, they only thought that Teng Qingshan would be able to hold on for two to three days. However, they didn't expect that Teng Qingshan, a six year old child, would be locked up in the woodshed for a whole six days without crying out.
Teng Qingshan stayed in the woodshed calmly. Every time he was asked if he changed his mind, Teng Qingshan would say the same thing — — "I don't want to leave Teng Jia Village!"
Teng Yunlong was anxious!
Was he going to be locked up like this? If he was locked up for a long time, it might affect the child's temperament. In his heart, Teng Yunlong loved this grandson of his very much. This time, he allowed his grandson to go to the Gui Yuan Sect because he was thinking about his grandson's future.
… …
Inside the woodshed.
In the narrow space, Teng Qingshan practiced the Three Postures over and over again. The Three Postures were known as the origin of Xing Yi. Although Teng Qingshan had already reached the Grandmaster Realm, he still felt that the Three Postures were unfathomable and often gained some insights. Being locked up in the woodshed, Teng Qingshan didn't have a trace of impatience.
On the contrary, he could practice to his heart's content.
As an assassin in his previous life, what kind of torture hadn't he suffered? Being locked up? To Teng Qingshan, it wasn't a punishment at all.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan's ears moved slightly. He immediately stopped practicing and sat down to lean against the wood beside him.
Every time someone came near, Teng Qingshan would stop practicing.
"Qingshan." A voice sounded.
"Third Grandpa." Teng Qingshan opened his mouth because he was worried that Teng Yongfan and his wife would secretly let Teng Qingshan out. Therefore, this Third Grandpa personally guarded Teng Qingshan.
"Qingshan, Third Grandpa is telling you that staying in Teng Jia Village is a waste of your talent. You are a genius that only appears once in a thousand years. At this crucial moment, you can't throw a tantrum." Originally, the Third Grandpa was very cold, but when he became angry, Teng Qingshan didn't say a word and ignored him.
After a long time, the Third Grandpa could only persuade him with kind words.
After all, if he persuaded him with kind words, Teng Qingshan would still talk to him.
"Qingshan, are you still not willing to go?" The Third Grandpa asked.
"Third Grandpa, I said that I don't want to leave Teng Jia Village. At least, I don't want to now! Not to mention six days, even if you locked me up for six months, I still wouldn't change my mind. "Teng Qingshan's voice was calm, but the words he said were very firm and without hesitation.
Outside the woodshed, the Third Grandpa was also helpless.
A six year old child was able to be locked up for six days without a trace of impatience. With this kind of temperament, if he went to Gui Yuan Sect in the future, he would definitely have great achievements.
"Creak." The door of the woodshed opened.
"What's wrong?" Teng Qingshan turned his head to look in surprise.
Outside the woodshed, the Third Grandpa looked at Teng Qingshan and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He revealed a helpless smile and said, "Alright, little Qingshan, Third Grandpa admits that you are powerful! Your grandfather and I admit our defeat! From now on, we won't force you to go. When you want to go, we'll send you there! "
No matter what, Teng Yunlong and the others loved Teng Qingshan very much, so they couldn't lock him up forever.
Six days was the deadline that Teng Yunlong and the others had discussed. If Teng Qingshan still wasn't willing to give in after six days, they could only admit defeat.
"Third Grandpa." Seeing the trace of exhaustion on the Third Grandpa's face, Teng Qingshan felt a trace of guilt in his heart. He knew that these elders in the clan also hoped that he would have great achievements, which was why they were like this. However, he couldn't tell them the reason. He had won this confrontation.
However, Teng Qingshan could feel the care and concern these elders had for him.
"Third Grandpa, don't worry. Even if I stay in Teng Jia Village, I won't let you down." Teng Qingshan said.
"Haha … … You've been locked up for six days, but you're still calm. You're only six years old this year! Haha, I, your Third Grandfather, have never seen a child like you in my entire life. I, your Third Grandfather, cannot be sure of your future achievements. "At this moment, the Third Grandfather could only accept the result of Teng Qingshan staying in Teng Jia Village.
After a while, Teng Yunlong and many others gathered in the courtyard.
Teng Yunlong looked at his grandson and smiled helplessly. He then looked at Teng Yongfan and said, "Yongfan, don't think that your son is usually obedient. When he's stubborn, I can't do anything to him."
"This child is too disobedient. He doesn't understand master's kindness." Teng Yongfan could only comfort Chief Teng Yunlong at this time.
"Qingshan." Teng Yunlong turned to look at Teng Qingshan and said, "Tell me, what do you want to learn? As long as you want to learn it, your grandfather will think of a way to find a good master to teach you."
"I want to learn the spear!"
Teng Qingshan said what he had planned for a long time.
"Spear?" Teng Yunlong frowned and said, "Qingshan, many people in our clan practice the spear, but this is only a farmer's skill. It's the accumulated experience of generations. Moreover, the spear is the most difficult weapon to practice. Without ten years of hard work, it's impossible to use the spear. If you want to have great achievements in the spear, you need to immerse yourself in it for a lifetime. Within the borders of Yi City, I haven't heard of anyone who is a true expert in using the spear. It's very difficult to find a good spear master for you. You should change your weapon. "
"I'll practice the spear." Teng Qingshan said.
PS: Haha, Teng Qingshan's future weapon has been decided. Actually, when Tomato watched Jet Li's Five Shaolin Ancestors, he held a long spear in his hand. It was very handsome and delightful!
