That night, Siyu still ran to the top of the mountain to breathe. Since that encounter with Xiaoyu, Siyu developed the habit of going to the top of the mountain to breathe every day. It was already midnight when he walked back. I wanted to go back to the house quietly.
I was sleeping, but I didn't expect that as soon as I opened the door, Grandpa, Ares and Xiaosan appeared from the side, holding a large handful of wild flowers and congratulating themselves.
"This is what you are doing?"
"Child, did you forget that today is your birthday?"
Ximenchen smiled and took out a short sword from behind and handed it to Siyu's hand.
"This is the first weapon my grandpa refined when I was young. I have followed my grandpa for a long time and have a deep affection. Seeing it is like seeing my child. I gave this dagger a name, 'Broken'
Soul'. You keep it and it will follow you from now on until you no longer need it."
"Grandpa, no, how could I ask for such an expensive gift?"
"Silly boy." Ximen Chen pressed Siyu's shoulder, "Compared to you, this dagger is nothing. You are my good boy. Besides, grandpa, don't I still have 'Wutian'?
, this dagger is no longer suitable for me. Now, let me solemnly hand it over to you!"
Siyu stroked the relief on the scabbard, and a cold breath spread into Siyu's hands. Lingtai suddenly woke up. Siyu was secretly surprised. Looking at the grandfather in front of him, the gratitude in his heart became even stronger.
"Boss, I have nothing to give you. This is the 'Warrior Arm Badge' that Michael, the twelve-winged archangel of the West, personally awarded to me when I was on the throne of God. Today I will hand over this symbol of my honor to you.
Here it is, I hope you can take it and reach the top, boss."
"No, no. This is your honor, how can I accept it."
"Boss, I am your servant, and my honor is your honor. Please accept it. It is just a badge to me, but to you, it may be a good helper.
"
"What does it mean?"
"This armband not only symbolizes the status of Ares, the God of War, but also seals an ancient ferocious beast in this armband. Unfortunately, despite all my efforts, I was unable to obtain the recognition of that ferocious beast as its owner.
Therefore, this armband has never shown its due brilliance in my hands. Now I will hand it to the boss. I hope you can recover the ferocious beast sealed in it, so that I can see what kind of thing that guy is.
!”
Siyu silently took the "Warrior Armband" from Ares. He knew that Ares was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface. But at this moment, he had to accept this gift because he understood that Ares had already
He truly regarded himself as a friend. If he didn't accept him now, it would be a humiliation to Ares.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"
The mistress beneath him became unhappy, and everyone started chatting, so they threw it aside. The mistress, who was looked down upon in a cold voice, roared in dissatisfaction, holding Siyu's trouser leg in his mouth, and kept shaking it.
Siyu was dragged by the mistress underneath him, and couldn't help but flip forward. After stumbling for a while, the mistress pulled Siyu to the round table in the middle of the yard, and then relaxed her mouth with satisfaction.
"This is..." Looking at the baskets full of red fruits on the round table, Siyu's eyes became moist.
"This is a good fruit that Xiaosan and his animal friends picked out after a long day of work, especially to celebrate your birthday. This is a gift from Xiaosan to you."
Siyu rubbed her eyes, trying not to let tears fall. "Thank you, thank you mistress."
"Uh-huh!"
"Yu'er, try it quickly, don't spoil Xiaosan's good intentions!"
Siyu nodded, held a red fruit between his two fingers, put it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
It's sour and sweet, and the unique fragrance of the fruit fills my mouth. "Well, it's so delicious. Xiaosan, you can eat one too! Everyone, come and eat."
The mistress happily took the red fruit from Siyu's hand, smashed it with her small mouth for two or three times, and managed to get rid of it without even spitting out the core.
Everyone was eating the red fruits in the bamboo basket, and the cores were spat out on the floor. Ximen Chen gradually turned his attention to Siyu.
"Yu'er, in mainland China, every sixteen-year-old child has to spend the most luxurious coming-of-age ceremony in his life. Now that he's in a foreign country, it's a little simpler. Do you have any complaints?"
Shaking his head, Siyu took a deep breath. "This home is better than that home!"
Ximen Chen looked at his grandson, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Ximen Chen had heard a little bit about Siyu's situation in the Ximen family, so Ximen Chen had always been a little apologetic towards Siyu.
"Hey, yes. This place is better than home, but home is home after all. We have been traveling since when you were twelve years old. It's been four years, it's time to go back and have a look."
"Grandpa, what do you mean?"
Ximen Chen nodded and looked at Siyu, who was almost 1.8 meters tall and handsome in front of him, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"It's time to go home!"
"go home!"
That night, Ximen Chen brought out a jar of wine that he had buried when Siyu woke up two years ago. It didn't last long, but it was enough to enjoy.
In Ximenchen's words: Siyu has grown up and is an adult. As a man, he is a real man even though he is always a man of wine and meat.
It's a pity that last time there was meat but no wine, and now there is wine but no meat. Good things in the world never come in pairs. Three people and one cow can only play with baskets of red fruits as food for drinking.
That night, the three of them chatted happily, and even the mistress would hum a few words from time to time to show her mood.
…
The next day, the scorching sun was high. In the open space at the east end of the village, the two groups of students gathered together for the first time, and the two teachers once again appeared in front of each student at the same time.
"It has been two years, and we are gratified by everyone's efforts. You are the most talented students I have ever seen in my life. I hope you can continue your practice. Even without me and Teacher Ares, you can still be as normal as usual.
Be conscious and self-disciplined. But if you are unwilling to continue practicing, we will not force you to do so. You will choose your own path in the future."
Ximen Chen secretly felt sad that it was a big mistake to secretly pass on the family secrets to outsiders. But Ximen Chen has never regretted it. The qualifications of these children are really great, especially Xiaoyu. In just two years, they will become
When he had reached the late stage of practicing "Starlight Art" in the fourth heaven, he was such a peerless genius, and he really wanted to stay by his side, but Ximen Chen knew that Xiaoyu did not belong to him, she had her own home.
"Dongzi, how's your practice of "Wrath of the Earth" going? Show me two moves."
Dongzi walked out of the crowd, wiped the tears from his eyes, and walked up to Ares.
"Come on, let's use two moves and see."
Dongzi nodded vigorously, turned around and looked at the boulder in front of him. He raised his hands above his head, and Dongzi's hands were gradually wrapped in a yellowish color.
"Ning Qi, remember what I said, your attacks must be strong, steady, and ruthless." Ares shouted to Dongzi from the side.
With a huge roar, Dongzi hit the khaki energy ball condensed in his hand against the boulder in front of him. With a loud thundering sound, a deep pit was carved out of the boulder, and cracks appeared around the pit.
Dongzi was breathing heavily, and the tears in his eyes had already soaked his clothes.
"Pa, pa~~" Ares clapped his hands and looked at Dongzi with relief. It was a kind of pride, but the corners of his eyes were also trembling involuntarily. Separation is an unforgettable experience for everyone.
process, most of which is sad.
The eight children shed tears one after another, but no one cried out, because Ares said that they had grown up and could no longer cry. So they did not cry and could not cry.
"Children, today is not a farewell. It's just that from now on, we will no longer start training. We will stay for two more days and organize all the exercises for you. Don't be so sad. Be happy and spend time with us.
Live this last unforgettable time."
Dongzi suppressed his sobs and walked out of the team again. This time, he walked up to Siyu.
"Remember? I said I would defeat you."
Siyu looked at the big boy in front of her in amazement. He was so persistent that Siyu couldn't help but admire him.
Wanran smiled and Siyu said: "You are very powerful, I can't compare to you."
"No, I must defeat you with my own hands." Dongzi stared at Siyu fiercely, "If you are a man, accept my challenge."
Siyu turned her face to her grandfather in embarrassment, only to see her grandfather and Ares smiling and nodding.
