Chapter 2 The Secret of Cultivation
Sikong Zhan in the courtyard was still giggling foolishly. The old man Sikong Buqun had already rushed into the room, holding the newborn baby and dancing, muttering from time to time, "Sikong Haoxuan, Sikong Haoxuan..." Sikong Zhan reacted and hurriedly rushed into the room. Looking at his wife who was asleep safely, he set his target on the newly born Sikong Haoxuan, and actually started a baby fight with his father.
The few people in the room seemed to be able to feel the joy of the two of them, and no one disturbed them. The maid gently covered Song Ziyan with a quilt and left the room. "Father, give me a hug, I am the child's biological father!" It was obvious that Sikong Zhan could not rob the old man and began to attack with words. "Hmph, you are a rough man, how can you hold a child? I am the child's biological grandfather, why do I have any objection to hug you?"
Sikong Zhan was obviously suffocated, so he had to use his big face full of beards to touch Sikong Haoxuan's cute little face through the old man's arms. Sikong Haoxuan was so depressed that he was a godfather figure, and was tortured by these two crazy people.
The most hateful thing is that the old man with white hair actually grabbed his little brother and laughed endlessly. It was unbearable, the baby's crying became louder, and the old man's laughter also reached the sky.
The joy in the inner courtyard was different, and the outer courtyard was filled with people waiting for news. "Second brother, do you think my mother will give us a younger brother or a younger sister this time? Hehe, I'm going to be a sister." A cute six-year-old girl said, shaking the sleeves of a boy.
It seems that the boy is not big, but his speech is more stable than his age. His bright eyes are full of wisdom. "Three sisters, I think we must have a younger brother in the barrier. Priest Su has already walked out with a smile, which means that his mother gave birth smoothly. It is possible that his grandfather and father are so happy that they forget the large group of people in the family outside. It must be a boy. For the Sikong family, which is increasingly rare, this is a huge joy."
"I have a younger brother! Second brother, you are about to go to the college. The elder brother is away all year round. Now, there is someone at home to play with me again." The little girl waved her hands happily and shouted, completely ignoring the surprised gaze of the anxious adults around.
A long time later, the old man Sikong Buqun walked out of the barrier with his baby in his arms and came to the outer courtyard. He raised the baby to a group of important family members in the courtyard and announced excitedly, "Our Sikong family will add new people." The old man did not think at this time what kind of huge shock this newly born baby would cause the entire family and even the entire continent.
Under the care of the entire family, the newborn baby grows slowly...
"Brother Xuan, please accompany me to the newly opened jewelry store in Dongcheng." Sikong Xiaoyue pushed Sikong Haoxuan, who was sitting cross-legged by the pond with his hands, and said pitifully. "The evil spirit is coming... I will be tortured by her sooner or later." Sikong Haoxuan cursed in his heart and opened his eyes helplessly, "Garment store? Dongcheng is so close, don't you go by yourself? Tell me, how much do you want..."
Sikong Xiaoyue kissed Sikong Haoxuan heavily on the face, "Brother Xuan is the best, just borrow another hundred crystal coins for my sister." "What!" Sikong Xuan was shocked, "One hundred crystal coins, sister, my pocket money for a month is only one hundred crystal coins. Besides, you have never paid back the money you borrowed me."
"Hmph, don't pretend to be pitiful. Who doesn't know that you little villain has saved a lot of money. If you don't borrow, be careful that I will mess with you and practice your skills." Sikong Xiaoyue's cunning little eyes looked at Sikong Haoxuan turning around.
The threatened Sikong Haoxuan had no choice but to take out his amethyst card and cut out 100 crystal coins for the disaster spirit, and swore in his heart: "In the future, you must find a place that this master cannot find." Sending Sikong Xiaoyue, the disaster spirit, Sikong Haoxuan continued to practice the "reincarnation mind method". For many years, Sikong Haoxuan used the help of entering into meditation to practice the mind method to comprehend witchcraft. This method gave him a great breakthrough in mental methods and witchcraft, but he still did not dare to be negligent. He clearly knew the importance of accumulation.
In the attic of the head of the family, Sikong Buqun and his old friend Su Qiu were savoring the tribute wine they brought from the palace, and they were so uncomfortable.
"Su Qiu, do you think Xuan'er is really practicing what skills? This child is reluctant to reveal anything, but over the years, I can't feel a trace of fighting spirit or magic power from him." Through the window, Sikong Buqun looked at Sikong Haoxuan sitting cross-legged by the pond, and felt a little worried.
The reason why Sikong Haoxuan keeps his cultivation methods confidential is not that he does not trust his family. Instead, he comes to a strange world with an instinctive self-protection behavior. He has a fear of strange things in his heart, and is afraid of completely exposing himself.
Su Qiu smiled and said, "Buqun, you're too worried. You can be sure that Xuan'er must be practicing something. No one will sit in such a strange posture for so many years without any reason."
"I told this little guy back then that he didn't learn about his 'proud fighting spirit'. To let outsiders know that the 'proud fighting spirit' of our Sikong family has such no market among their descendants, and they must become the laughing stock of the empire." Sikong Buqun sighed.
Su Qiu also sighed: "Yes, the third-ranked 'Apride Fighting Qi' in the mainland is the only one among your descendants who practices to the seventh level. It is worrying in the current form of the power of the imperial capital."
Sikong Buqun put down his wine glass and said with a bitter face: "Although Zhan'er was the commander of the Blizzard Legion and has made great achievements over the years, he still has some shortcomings as the head of the family. It seems that he can only put his hope on a few grandchildren. In recent years, he has grown up very quickly. He has cultivated the "Apride Fighting Qi" to the fourth level at the age of 18 and can also be ranked in the family calendar. Mo Chen, a kid, has been yelling that he is not interested in violence since he was a child, and he is a mother spoiled him. Zi Yan has made great contributions to the family. With him protecting me, my grandfather, is helpless."
Su Qiu laughed and said, "Your two grandsons are the most interesting. He looks down on us. I heard that he made a shocking statement when he was twelve years old: Yes, those who dance guns and sticks are all reckless men, and magicians are sick men who only set off fireworks."
Sikong Buqun changed the topic awkwardly, "Of these three grandchildren, the one I can't see through the most is this youngest grandson, Sikong Haoxuan."
Su Qiu said seriously, "Yes, I can't see through him either. I watched him grow up. Since I was born, I have closed my eyes and refused to open it. I only look like a normal child when I eat. I suspect that he has started practicing since he was born."
The first time I heard an old friend analyze his third grandson, Sikong Buqun couldn't help but feel shocked, "What? I started practicing qigong at birth?"
"I'm just guessing, why are you nervous?" Looking at Sikong Buqun who breathed a sigh of relief, Su Qiu thought to himself: "I was born in the quiet sleep of my mother. After birth, I spent most of my time practicing with my eyes closed and so on. Is my guess really a random guess?"
"Su Qiu, don't you want to know what Xuan'er is practicing?" Su Qiu glanced at Sikong Buqun with a smile on his face, "What, is the Duke who is in charge of the imperial military planning to plot against his grandson?"
Sikong Buqun, who was smiling, couldn't help but stiffen his smile when he heard Su Qiu's words, "I said, don't say that it's so ugly... Don't you want it? Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival..."
Under the careful service of the maid, Sikong Haoxuan, who had finished breakfast, sighed in his heart, "The first family in the empire is different, and he never dreamed of this kind of enjoyment in his previous life."
