The river is not wide, only a dozen feet long. The water is very clear and flows very slowly, reflecting the surrounding mountains, like a painted painting of ink.
By the river, a man sat cross-legged on a stone, a fishing rod was held in his hand, his eyes staring at the float, which was shaking slightly, and there was obviously a fish hijacking.
Before fish eat food, they will mostly test it several times to determine whether the food can be eaten.
Suddenly the float sank suddenly, the fishing rod in the man's hand shook violently, the fishing rod bent rapidly, and the fish took the bait.
"Hahaha, I'm so lucky today. I caught a big fish." The man laughed like thunder, his voice was still so heroic, full of unruly passion. The man was Long Tianxiao, the Zhenyuan Hou of Fengming Empire.
A big fish more than two feet long flew out of the water and was slowly pulled out of the water by Long Tianxiao. The fish had great power. After a few breaths, it was pulled by Long Tianxiao to the side. Long Tianxiao used a net bag to get it.
This big fish weighs more than ten pounds, which made Long Tianxiao very happy. Obviously, it is difficult to catch such a big fish.
"Xiaoyu is so lucky now." Long Tianxiao looked at the big fish and said with a smile.
"Well, I'm having a good time, too." A voice sounded beside Long Tianxiao.
Long Tianxiao's big hand shook, and the fishing rod almost fell. He turned his head and saw a man in a black robe looking at him with a smile.
"Chen'er, you... are you back?"
Long Tianxiao threw down the fishing rod, grabbed Long Chen's arms with both hands, shook it hard, and the tiger's eyes were slightly red.
"Good boy, he's getting stronger and stronger."
How could Long Chen shake with Long Tianxiao's power? Although Long Chen left elixirs for Long Tianxiao to regulate his body, Long Tianxiao's talent was limited after all, and he still had not broken through the innate world.
"Well, it's not okay if you are not strong. If you are not strong, you will be overwhelmed by others. How can you shelter others from the wind and rain?" Long Chen said with a smile.
When Long Chen was very young, Long Tianxiao would pick up the meat to Long Chen every time he had a meal. What Long Tianxiao often said at that time, men needed strength, and only when they were strong could they shelter others from the wind and rain.
Now that the old sayings are mentioned again, Long Chen is no longer the child who was entangled in the past, and has grown into a real strong man.
"Have you seen your mother and your sister?" Long Tianxiao said after being excited.
"I've seen it, I've seen my mother and sister first before I came to see you." Long Chen said.
"That's good, let's go home, I tell you, it's really time to come back today.
In this small river, a kind of catfish is produced, which is different from ordinary catfish. Ordinary catfish live in dirty water, eat carrion and other fish for a living. The meat is like mud, and it has a bad taste. There is still a strange smell in the meat, so it cannot be eaten at all.
However, the golden-mouthed catfish here specializes in the upstream wild fruit roots and stems. The meat is like garlic cloves, and the taste is first-class and extremely delicious.
Today I was lucky and caught such a big one. It seems that God knew you were coming back and took special care of me, haha..." Long Tianxiao laughed loudly, very happy.
If God knew I was here, you would probably not even catch grass roots. Long Chen smiled bitterly in his heart and reached out to help his father carry the net bag. In addition to the golden-mouthed catfish, there were also some mixed fish, which looked like a dozen, which was enough to eat.
"Since the golden-mouthed catfish is so delicious, should I get a few more?" Long Chen said tentatively.
With Long Chen's current ability, he can catch a few fish without any effort. If he wants to eat, he can catch the entire river cleanly.
"No, no, no, it's boring. Fishing is a pleasure, not a means of survival. This should be distinguished."
Long Tianxiao and Long Chen walked side by side and said slowly:
"Although your cultivation is higher and stronger now, your spiritual realm has been stopped. This is not a good thing."
"Dad, it seems you are going to teach me your experience." Long Chen couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile.
"What? If your cultivation is higher than your father, you look down on your father?" Long Tianxiao looked at Long Chen, and a hint of humor appeared on his face.
"How dare I? In front of you, I have always been a fight and a scolding." Long Chen smiled.
"Boy, I used to beat you and scold you, but wasn't it because you were too naughty? If you weren't strict and spoiled you, you would have gone to heaven long ago." Long Tianxiao snorted coldly.
Long Chen laughed and didn't say anything. It was a blessing to be scolded by his father.
The river is only a few miles away from the thatched hut, and it arrived soon. As soon as I arrived home, I saw Xiaoyu still playing with the pill. If the pill was swung hard, the medicinal power inside would fluctuate and slowly float in the air, and would bloom with more brilliant brilliance.
The little guy was having a lot of fun, but he ignored Long Tianxiao and Long Chen, making Long Tianxiao speechless.
Outside the thatched hut, there was a stone table and four stone stools. Looking at the four stone stools, Long Chen knew that one of them was his own, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Even if he is not here, his parents and sister think about him every day, but he hasn't come back once for so many years. It really shouldn't be.
As soon as Long Tianxiao came back, Mrs. Long ran out and took the golden-mouthed catfish. She was very happy to see such a big golden-mouthed catfish. She asked the father and father to drink tea first and she went to stew the fish.
Long Tianxiao took out a teapot, put it on the stone table, and brewed a large pot of tea. Long Chen hurriedly said, "I have better tea here."
"There is no distinction between good and bad tea. The key is the mood of drinking tea. The fish is no distinction between size and size. The key is what you want?" Long Tianxiao shook his head and used his own tea to make tea.
"Chen'er, you are so tired. I saw endless fatigue in your eyes.
You need to adjust, otherwise, if you continue like this, your spirit will be tense and you will not be able to vent your wisdom, and your wisdom will become blocked and you will not be able to make correct judgments when encountering things.
Although I don’t know what you have experienced, your spirit is too depressed and problems will arise over time.”
Long Tianxiao looked at Long Chen and couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. Long Chen's face looked like a ferocious look and the fatigue in his eyes could not be concealed.
However, Long Chen has grown up and has his own world. Long Tianxiao can no longer shelter him from the wind and rain.
"I have encountered some things recently. There are too many dirty things, which makes me feel irritable and a little breathless." Long Chen nodded.
When he returned to Tianwu Continent, he saw the destruction of Xuantian Dao Sect. After that, powerful enemies from all sides emerged and wanted to kill Long Chen. Almost the entire Dongxuan Realm was chasing Long Chen.
What's more, there are Dan Valley, Ancient Clans, Ancient Family Alliance, and Blood Killing Hall peeping. Although the evil path has not been moved, Long Chen knew that they must be brewing something.
This is the most terrifying thing. The enemy on the surface can be guarded against, but the enemy behind it will not take action easily. It will be a decisive kill when it comes to attacking, and will never give Long Chen any chance to breathe.
If it were someone else, I would have been crazy long ago and the pressure was not high, so it would be strange if it was staring at so many powerful enemies.
"You are very tired." Long Tianxiao said.
"Yeah, a little bit." Long Chen nodded.
"Stop if you are tired"
"But I can't stop." Long Chen smiled bitterly.
"There's nothing that can't stop. Do you remember the first time you learned to swim?" Long Tianxiao poured a cup of tea to Long Chen.
Long Chen hurriedly took it, but a strange look appeared on his face: "How can you not remember? At that time, you were too cruel and threw me into the pool without paying attention. I was choked and my stomach floated on the water like a ball. I remember that my mother had a fierce quarrel with you at that time."
Long Tianxiao nodded and said, "Yes, your mother feels sorry for you, but there are some things that you don't have time to come step by step, so you can only use extraordinary means.
So you spent two hours learning to swim. Although you were only two and a half years old at that time, I believe you should remember everything in those two days clearly.”
"Of course I remember clearly. What I remember most clearly is that your black face, like the King of Hell, is very scary." Long Chen said with some complaints.
Long Tianxiao was really too strict with him at that time. If Long Chen had a son himself, he would never have the heart to do so.
Long Tianxiao shook his head and said, "It's a pity that your memory is still not deep enough. Do you remember it? I told you very seriously at that time:
Life is like drowning. The more panic you are, the more fear you are, and the more you struggle desperately, the closer you are to death."
Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned. At that time, Long Tianxiao did say so, but it was too long and Long Chen forgot about it.
But at this time, Long Tianxiao mentioned that Long Chen suddenly thought of something.
"You are drowning in the sea now. You struggle desperately to keep you safe, but you can't get rid of the crisis and see no hope.
So you are physically and mentally exhausted, unable to see the shore or the island. In this case, the harder you work, the more you consume your precious physical strength.
Remember, how did you learn to swim in just two hours?”
Long Chen pondered for a moment and said, "You told me that when you are in crisis and no one helps you, you need to learn to give yourself a chance to breathe.
After you have won the chance to breathe, adjust your state to deal with the crises around you, instead of just fighting the crises, what you mean is….”
Long Tianxiao said: "That's right, you are what you were like now, you have to find a way to relax.
A bad mood and a tight spirit will not help you in any way, but will make you worse and worse.
There is no way to relax? That's not an excuse. You have to find a way to relax in order to meet the next challenge in a better state.
Just like drowning, you must give yourself a chance to breathe, get a chance to breathe, adjust your state and learn to swim.
Only by learning to swim and race against time, you will live longer in the waves, and you can persist until someone comes to save you, or you will be on the dock yourself.
Sometimes, the mystery between one breath and one breath is the fundamental reason for the whole world to revolve around us, and the principles and laws are around us, but most people ignore it.
So, Chen'er, don't always rush forward. Sometimes stopping your steps, looking at the surrounding situation, or even looking back at the path you have walked may have a great inspiration for you.
