Chapter 294 Vanity?

The Heart Demon Tribulation is indeed not easy to overcome, even if it is just a Heart Demon Tribulation derived from a wisp of Tribulation Qi.

He got married again in this place.

In addition to the fox girl Su Linlin and his junior sister Huang Ying, his senior sister Yu Junyao also lived with him in the same room. Three wives, exceeding the task.

He has a son.

The ancient river ancestor told him to enter the world to experience the various aspects of life, and Chen Luo felt that he might not need to go through so much trouble. As a practitioner of the Heart Demon Art, he experienced the various aspects of life more thoroughly than "entering the world".

"That's it!"

Chen Luo interrupted the women and walked to the middle of the yard, where he saw a little boy with a bruised face kneeling in the yard.

This little boy was his son Chen Yuanzhi.

Unlike the people around him, the Heart Demon Art in Chen Luo's body suddenly accelerated when he saw this little boy, and a familiar feeling rose in his heart.

Tribulation overcomer!

Chen Yuanzhi is the Tribulation overcomer.

The aura on his body is exactly the same as that of Elder Rong Ling at the beginning. Chen Luo was very puzzled by this. He did not enter the heavenly tribulation this time. He just adjusted the trajectory of the operation of the technique according to the understanding of the Heart Demon Ancestor, and then he saw this scene.

It was like a Heart Demon Tribulation simulated by the technique.

"Dad, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I promise not to make the teacher angry again. From tomorrow on, I will study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination to bring honor to my family."

Upon noticing Chen Luo coming in, Chen Yuanzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately admitted his mistake. Looking at his skilled appearance, it was probably not the first time he admitted his mistake. He spoke very smoothly, as if he had practiced it thousands of times. Whether he really knew his mistake in his heart, only he knew it best.

It looked familiar.

Chen Luo looked at this "son" and remembered the apprentice he had just accepted during the day.

Li Fugui, the son of Li the Butcher.

He didn't expect that this kid would become his son in the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Chen Luo did not hit him, nor did he pay attention to his confession. He walked past him and walked into the study and closed the door.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the women didn't dare to let the children get up.

The little boy kneeling on the ground was full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to get up without his father's order. He just resented the old teacher for causing trouble. Isn't it just a toilet? Wouldn't it be clean if he washed it?

A few days later.

The matter of the teacher falling into the toilet was solved smoothly. As the two families were willing to pay enough silver and land deeds, the teacher was generous and let them go, but he made it clear that he would not accept the children of the two families as apprentices again. The two families were too lazy to find a teacher for the two guys, so they simply used their family connections to find two martial arts masters to come back and train them to vent their endless energy.

Practicing martial arts is different from reading. If you can't practice it, the coach will really beat you.

After the troublesome little guys had no books to read, they were arranged to learn boxing here, and they were beaten by the boxing gym masters every day.

"Abandoning literature and following martial arts, this life is ruined."

Wang Yuanwai sat on the edge of the training ground, watching his son and the boy from the Chen family practicing boxing together, and couldn't help sighing.

He originally hoped that his boy could study hard and get a good reputation to bring honor to the family, but this boy didn't make progress, and after a lot of trouble, he returned to the circle of martial artists.

The Holy Dynasty controls martial arts with literature. No matter how good martial arts are, they have to obey the orders of literati. The status of military officers is far inferior to that of civil officials. Any seventh-rank civil official can make a fifth-rank military officer bow his head, and this gap is even greater in the court.

"Life is still long, how can you judge a child's life because of temporary ups and downs?"

"If you can't read, you can't get a good reputation. Without a good reputation, it's meaningless to learn martial arts well." Wang Yuanwai looked at his son in the field and was very disappointed. He wondered whether he should marry two more concubines and have another one while he was still able to work.

Chen Luo smiled and said nothing more.

The pace of agricultural society is very slow, and it will not change for decades or even hundreds of years. Once it changes, it means a change of dynasty. However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with gentry like Chen Luo.

After integrating into this identity, he did not make any changes, and managed the family affairs like the former Master Chen. In addition to the family industry, the most he did on weekdays was to cultivate the younger generation of the clan. He would send them to the clan's book hall to study, and those who could not read would be arranged to be militiamen in the county to ensure that they could make a living.

Not only the Chen family, but also the gentry and nobles such as the Wang family and the Zhou family developed in this way.

Their power is intertwined in the local area. Even if the county magistrate takes office, he must first entertain them, otherwise nothing can be done.

Time passed, and ten years passed in a flash.

In ten years, Chen Luo had a few more white hairs on his head, and he entered middle age. Although his posture was still upright, he was no longer young after all.

"Master, Yuanzhi is always wielding swords and guns. He is so old, but he doesn't even have a husband." The eldest lady said with a worried look on her face.

Chen Yuanzhi is her son, but this kid is not easy to worry about.

After the bombing incident, she found several teachers for her son, but they were all driven away by this bastard without exception. On the contrary, he was very interested in martial arts. He followed the master at home to practice a good gun. Every day at dawn, he went out with a group of friends. He was a notorious bully in the county.

Recently, she asked people to talk to several families about marriage. When others heard his name, they shook their heads. No one was willing to marry their daughter to him.

"No hurry."

"Not in a hurry? Other Wang family boys have given birth to second children."

Chen Luo automatically filtered out this kind of nonsense about family matters. Looking at the young man dancing with the gun in the field, his eyes penetrated the yard and looked farther into the sky.

In ten years, he still hasn't found out what this 'Inner Demon Tribulation' is. Chen Yuanzhi, the tribulation transcender, is also different from Elder Rong Ling. He does not have a 'Heavenly Tribulation' around him, and he does not have the same desires as Elder Rong Ling.

He is like an ordinary gangster who goes out to wander the streets every day after eating and drinking.

If you want to say that he is "evil", you can't tell it clearly. On the contrary, this kid is very loyal. What he shouts about most every day is loyalty, and occasionally he will do some things to help the strong and the weak.

"Dad, I'm done practicing."

After finishing a set of marksmanship, Chen Yuanzhi stood in the yard with his gun pointed, his whole body steaming. With his burly figure, he looked like a fierce bandit in the mountains, with a fierce aura coming towards his face.

"Is there anything you want to do?"

Chen Luo looked at this 'son' and asked.

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why his father asked this question, but he thought about it and answered seriously.

"If you want to be a high official, drink a lot of wine and eat meat!"

Chen Luo smiled and didn't ask again.

True intention?

Maybe not.

"Brother Luo San made an appointment with some good guys today. I'm going to have a drink with them in the afternoon and won't be back." Seeing that his father didn't ask any more questions, the young man put down the barrel of the gun and walked to the side to wipe off the sweat on his body with a towel. , and did not forget to tell his mother about his schedule today, so as not to let her wait for him again.

"What kind of guy is not a good guy? Follow me to Li's house today."

The eldest lady immediately became anxious when she heard this. She didn't care to chat with Chen Luo and quickly stepped forward to hold her son.

"I go first."

How could Chen Yuanzhi let her hold him back? He turned over and walked out the door without saying a word. The eldest lady was left shouting loudly from behind.

Chen Luo didn't look again. He turned around and walked out of the yard, looking up.

The storm is rising.

Disaster is about to happen.

Chen Yuanzhi was just as he said. He stayed out until midnight and didn't come back until midnight. He was so drunk that he smelled of alcohol and was staggering when he walked.

Squeak.

The door opened in response. Chen Yuanzhi had just taken two steps when his body tilted and he hugged the pillar next to him. He vomited heavily. It took him a long time to regain his strength, leaned up and staggered into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw an unexpected figure.

It's his father.

Different from the past, my father was sitting quietly in the courtyard, with a document placed on the stone table next to him. Judging from the handwriting on it, it should be written by his uncle, Magistrate Tan.

"Come and sit for a while, sober up."

Chen Luo pointed to the stone bench next to him. The courtyard was very empty. Chen Luo had sent away all the servants, and he was the only one in the courtyard.

"father?"

Chen Yuanzhi sobered up immediately.

In these years, he has not been afraid of anything, but the person he fears most is his father. Although his father rarely scolded him on weekdays, that kind of fear really came from his bones. He didn't know if it was a shadow left over from his childhood. He couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw his father.

"You are not young anymore. I asked your uncle to find a job for you in the county government. Go report tomorrow." Chen Luo pointed to the appointment letter on the table.

This is the identity he arranged for his 'son'. He wanted to try his influence on the catastrophe.

"good."

Chen Yuanzhi opened his mouth. Even though his face was full of dissatisfaction, the words still turned into one word.

The next morning.

With a face full of reluctance, Chen Yuanzhi yawned and stood in his father's study, listening to his father's warning. If it were his mother, he would definitely not come, but he would not dare not listen to his father's words.

"You said before that you wanted to be an official."

Chen Luo asked this question for the second time.

"Can you tell me why you want to be an official?"

He wanted to figure out the source of this 'tribulation energy'.

The ancestor of the inner demon said, "There is no good or evil in obsession." Chen Luo also agreed with this sentence, but he had to understand the subtle difference between it. Only after he understood the gap between obsession and inner demon, could he calmly overcome it. My own inner demons.

"I just feel that being an official is so prestigious that others are afraid of me."

Chen Yuanzhi scratched his head. He didn't expect that he would remember his father just by casually mentioning it. If he had known it earlier, he would not have talked about being an official. He would have just said that it would be nice to go up the mountain and be a good man!

"fear?"

Chen Luo frowned and had a rough guess about Chen Yuanzhi's 'inner demon'. Most likely it's an emotion like 'vanity'.

If you can't control this kind of emotion, you can easily get lost in it.

"This job costs a lot of money. After you go to the county government, you should listen more, do more, and talk less. Come back to me after your experience is over, and I will teach you how to manage your family affairs."

After throwing the appointment letter to his son, Chen Luo stood up and left. (End of chapter)
