Chapter 29 Chapter 9 Apparatus

Lian Xing fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly being woken up from sleep, a gentle voice outside the door said softly: "Lian Xing, Lian Xing, mother is here." Lian Xing walked out the door, the sky was full of stars, under the starlight, beside the bamboo forest, a woman in white was gently waving at him. The woman was still calling his name softly: "Lian Xing, Lian Xing, mother is here." Lian Xing yelled: "Mother! Mother!" He strode over and tried to hug the woman, but he failed. At this moment, the big green bug suddenly landed in front of him, opened its mouth wide, and bit down on his head. Lian Xing was startled and woke up, covered in cold sweat.

The sky is still full of stars outside the window, and the bamboo forest is rustling in the wind.But it turned out to be a dream. After waking up, she couldn't fall asleep anymore, and could only wait helplessly until dawn. In the morning, I couldn't finish the homework that Aunt Li asked me to do, and I was always absent-minded. Fourth Aunt Li stepped forward, touched his forehead, and wondered: "This child, he doesn't have a fever, what's wrong? Did he lose his soul while playing yesterday?" Lian Xing lowered his head and said, "I'm fine, Fourth Aunt, you don't have to worry."

Fourth Aunt Li said: "It's no wonder I'm not worried. You have no father or mother since you were a child. If Fourth Aunt doesn't love you, who else will love you?" Lian Xing bit his lip and asked softly, "Fourth Aunt, when I came here, I had no father or mother, right?" Fourth Aunt Li said: "Yes, when you came, you were brought by your iron-footed seventh-iron uncle. No one knows who your parents are. Why do you ask this?" Lian Xing said: "It's nothing, I'll ask casually." Whether to go to that cliff to inquire about his mother, the six-year-old really didn't know what to do.

After lunch, Lian Xing lay on his bed and continued to think about his thoughts. Da Kui came over and said, "Lian Xing, I went to learn Kung Fu from my master, you are waiting for me at home." He turned and left. Lian Xing suddenly felt hot, stood up, and finally decided to go to the cliff. Lian Xing sneaked out of the valley and walked up the cliff along the narrow path that he came down yesterday. There is no one on the cliff. Lian Xing's heart sank, could they not see that he was gone? The cave on the cliff was dark—maybe they were waiting for themselves in the cave? Lian Xing lit the torch and walked into the cave step by step.

Walking to the stone room where the five people met yesterday, the stone room was also empty. Lian Xing's heart was as cold as water in an instant, and he couldn't help shouting: "I'm here, where are you?" In the empty cave, he could only hear his own voice surging back and forth: "I'm coming, I'm coming... Where are you? Where are you..." Lian Xing couldn't help but burst into tears, the glimmer of hope for finding his mother was gone.In the past, Aunt Li had been taking care of her all the time, no one mentioned it, and she didn't feel anything about it, but this time when the scholar mentioned her mother, Lian Xing couldn't restrain the admiration for his parents anymore.

After crying for a while, Lian Xing felt much better. Standing up, under the light of the fire, he found that there seemed to be words carved on the cave wall.When Lian Xing came to him, he saw two lines of big characters engraved on the wall of the cave - "I have been waiting for Lian Xing for a long time, so I will keep Baoyu as a record."I only hope that I cherish thousands of things, and I will be able to meet again in the next year! The handwriting was very scribbled, as if it was done hastily with a dagger and other objects. Sure enough, there was a dagger inserted under the handwriting, and the edge of the dagger was buried deep in the mountain wall.A golden chain is hung on the handle of the dagger, and a piece of precious jade is strung on the chain.

The precious jade is rosy and lustrous, and the whole body is crystal clear and transparent. From the outside to the inside, the red becomes deeper and deeper, until it reaches the center of the precious jade, it is as red as red sandalwood. Lian Xing looked at the handwriting carefully and saw what was written in it. It seemed that those people were waiting for him and couldn't come for a long time. When he encountered a sudden situation, he left in a hurry. Before leaving, he left these few words and gave himself a piece of precious jade .The words also said that he could still get together in the next year.It seems that if you want to see your mother, you have to wait until the future.

Lian Xing took down the piece of precious jade and hung it in his underwear.He reached out and pulled out the dagger, and took it out without any effort. The dagger was not very long, the blade was dark but not too heavy.Neither light nor heavy, very hand in hand. Lian Xing stroked casually on the cave wall, and with a click, a large rock fell down. Lian Xing was both surprised and delighted that this dagger turned out to be a precious blade. At that moment, he put it in his arms unceremoniously, and sneaked back to the valley along the original road. Da Kui is looking for him in the valley.

Lian Xing sneaked behind Da Kui and coughed. Da Kui was startled, turned around to see him, and said anxiously, "I'm looking for you." Lian Xing said: "Looking for me? What do you want me for?" Da Kui frowned: "Hey, I made a mistake. It's the master who asked you to practice. You should go there quickly. If it's later, the master should be in a hurry." Lian Xing stuck out his tongue and walked away in a hurry. Lian Xing came to the old ancestral hall, the old ancestral hall was quiet and there was no one.Lian Xing knocked on the door and said softly: "Master? Master?" No one answered the door.Lian Xing gently pushed open a crack in the door, and looked in. He saw Li Kaishan, the ancestor of Qianshan, sitting on the futon, holding a dark bead in his left hand, and was concentrating on thinking.

The bead is about the size of a pigeon's egg, it's black and dull, it's not known what it's made of, it doesn't look outstanding, I don't know why the Patriarch Qianshan stared at it so intently, and he didn't notice someone calling softly outside the door . Lian Xing boldly pushed open the door and called, "Master Zu." Li Kaishan was startled, looked up suddenly, saw Lian Xing, said with a smile: "You're here." Putting the dark bead into his bosom, he said to Lian Xing: "Today, Master teaches you to change shape." Lian Xing said: "Master, what is shape-shifting?"

Li Kaishan stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Let me ask you, if you meet an enemy outside, that enemy's martial arts is still very high, you can't beat him, what should you do?" Lian Xing rolled his eyes wide and said with a smile: "Master Zu, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Li Kaishan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "How to tell the truth, how to tell the lie?" Lian Xing said with a smile: "Is it a lie? That is, you have to fight even if you can't fight." Li Kaishan said: "What about the truth?" Lian Xing smiled and said, "If you can't beat it, then run away." Li Kaishan nodded again and again, and said: "Good boy, run away when you know you can't beat it, you can know how to change, it's good, it's good. However, you can run in different ways, you can't run around or run around. Changing shadows is how to run." Lian Xing secretly laughed in his heart: Who can run away if you can't beat it? Is there any need to teach it? Li Kaishan said seriously: "Lian Xing, don't laugh in your heart, look down on this skill of running away when you can't beat it." Lian Xing blushed, bowed his head and said, "My disciples dare not." Li Kaishan said again: "Think about it, the world is so big that there are countless people. When we walk in the rivers and lakes, we will inevitably stumble and form bridges with others. If you meet someone with a big heart, I don't care about you; if you meet a person with a small heart Yes, but the martial arts are higher than yours, so it is inevitable that someone will not attack you. At this time, you will have to learn the skill of running away if you can't beat it. If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. It's too late." After finishing speaking, he taught Lian Xing the formula of changing shape and changing shadow. Lian Xing kept them in mind one by one. Li Kaishan said: "This form-shifting needs to be practiced every day. When facing the enemy, you must be able to do it without thinking, with your heart and feet, and with the unity of body and mind, in order to be invincible." Just as I was talking about this, suddenly a middle-aged man with a beard and beard pushed the door in hastily.Lian Xing recognized this person, it turned out to be Fang Liuyi, Li Kaishan's sixth disciple. Fang Liuyi was full of panic, and said to Li Kaishan: "Master, it's not good, Xiu Tianluo who was locked up in the back mountain has escaped." Li Kaishan was startled and couldn't help standing up.
