Chapter 9 The Sea(1/2)
"How old am I this year?" Yi Tianxing squatted on the steps at the door of the small bookstore, asking in a daze, holding a freshly lit cigarette in his hand.
Ye Xiangseng, wearing the cloth robe, squatted beside him. He heard his question and turned his head in confusion: "Don't you know how old you are?"
"Yeah, it should be eighteen." Yi Tianxing flattered his mouth: "Why do you think your mentality is a bit like eighty? You are also very like an old man in your life, and you are quite boring."
"That's because you're under too much pressure."
"Well, there was a sudden extra little guy to raise and teach, which was really stressful." He pulled out a puff of cigarettes, and the 84MM roll of paper suddenly burned to the yellow paper.
He threw down the cigarette roll and stepped on it twice. He walked into the bookstore and said casually: "I will take Xiao Zhuque out. I will come back tomorrow night. If Leilei comes tomorrow, please tell her not to worry." As he said that, he hugged Xiao Yizhu, who was sleepy, and walked out of the room and towards the west of the provincial capital.
"Where are you going?" Ye Xiangseng shouted from behind.
Yi Tianxing waved his hand without answering.
————————————————
To the west of the provincial capital is a military airport. There are no elevated wires above the airport, no high-rise buildings around, and the sky above the head is extremely clean, so it is impossible for civil aviation aircraft to pass by.
He stood on the mountain outside the airport with Xiao Yizhu in his arms, and quietly said, "I haven't flew past your father, are you afraid?"
Xiao Yizhu clenched his collar tightly, but responded very bravely: "Don't be afraid." The little guy had long wanted to fly in his heart, and walked tens of thousands of miles after turning into a human form, making it deeply miss the joy of having wings.
Yi Tianxing stood straight on the mountain, his breath flowed slightly around him, and the short trees on the top of the mountain trembled... The three meditation scriptures were carefully transported, and the green lotus Taoist heart gently stroked the true fire life wheel like a red jade plate, and fragments of the heavenly fire were continuously transported to the soles of his feet.
"rise."
Two rays of heavenly fire spewed out from under his feet, and immediately melted the leather shoes on his feet. When they touched the ground, they stirred up countless dust. The flames passed by and burned a large area of grass.
And his people were also shocked by the huge recoil force and flew into the sky suddenly!
...
...
Then a perfect arc was drawn...falling at a faster speed.
There was a loud bang!
The two men with gray-headed and gray-faced faces were smashed and climbed up from a big pit. Xiao Yizhu hugged his neck nervously, and his tender lips trembled, "Dad, I fell."
"I know." Yi Tianxing stood up angrily, "I haven't flew before. Today's first test flight, failure is naturally allowed. This is the first truth that dad wants to teach you as a human being - failure is a successful mother."
"Yes." Xiao Yi Zhu dined his chubby head and said seriously: "Leilei's mother failed, I succeeded."
Ignoring Xiao Zhuque's understanding ability, I just said that Yi Tianxing carefully adjusted the dose of fire under his feet. I don't know how many times he fell, but finally relied on the indestructible fall-resistant materials and arduous fighting spirit of their father-in-law, he finally successfully stood up from the ground.
Yi Tianxing was holding the child, and two strange flames were sprayed under his feet, shaking in the night sky, shouting ecstaticly: "Flying up!"
Since the time when the little Zhuque was captured by his ancestors in Guiyuan Temple last year, after he realized the principle of the fire-breathing under his feet, he had always wanted to fly to the sky to see it. Today, he finally achieved the reality and couldn't help but feel happy.
Flying is originally one of the ultimate ideals of human beings. Although Yi Tianxing is a monster, he cannot escape this temptation.
Xiao Yizhu in his arms sighed and shook his head, thinking that his father was too satisfied - if he was still a bird, flying would not be as simple as walking.
Yi Tianxing naturally would not rely on this control ability to dare to burrow all over the sky. He also carefully learned the direction and strength of the fire. After successfully completing several tests three inches from the grass, he finally mastered the "true meaning of flying" with his powerful control over every trace of muscle in his body. He mustered up the courage to say to Xiao Yizhu: "Let's go."
"Dad..." Xiao Yizhu didn't know what his father wanted to play when he was carrying him out to test flight in the middle of the night. As soon as he thought about it, he felt that his whole body was lighter. The night wind blew, and he had already reached mid-air.
Yi Tianxing's feet spitted fire and quickly accelerated to the extremely high night sky. He tried to turn and descend... After discovering that he was proficient, he finally bravely stepped on the sky fire, shaking, like drinking mellow wine... and flew south, leaving only a fiery red drag line on the night sky of the provincial capital, looking extremely gorgeous.
...
...
The sky on autumn nights is generally very high, far and light.
Yi Tianxing flew in the night sky for the first time in his life, but he felt that this place seemed different from the world. The sky here was very low and close and cold. The stars in the sky seemed to be able to pick it up. The mist around him whistled by, and the night wind blew straight into his nostrils.
He was a little scared. Although he had not had any experience of falling from a high altitude, this empty feeling of powerlessness still made him not very adaptable.
The one in his arms seemed to feel the smell that he hadn't felt for a long time, and he looked very comfortable and licked his lips.
There is not even a bird above the night sky.
Only a strange black shadow with fire on his feet was flying through the air.
"Life is really silent..." The last word was blown into my stomach by the strong night wind. Yi Tianxing was slightly aware of his eyes, shut up and no longer spoke sourly, experiencing the pleasure and alienation of flying.
Xiao Yizhu in his arms suddenly tightened. In the middle of the night today, he made his father feel angry and wrote the Heart Sutra hundreds of times. How could his father be so kind to bring him to the sky to play?
Is he going to throw himself away?
When the little Zhuque thought about it this way, he felt more and more likely. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Tears became poems. He hugged Yi Tianxing's neck tightly and did not loosen. A series of eyeballs slid out of his eye sockets and fell from the extremely high sky, shining with a red light.
"Ah, are there meteors?" Yi Tianxing found that a few lights were flying towards the ground under his feet. He was stunned for a moment before he noticed that the little guy in his arms was crying.
"Why are you crying?" he asked.
"No." The little guy gently used his white and fat palms to slap the flames on his father's chest, as if he was trying to please him.
"Son, you used to fly in the sky, and you saw these scenery, right?" Yi Tianxing said in the whistling night wind.
"Dad, where are we going?" the little guy asked word by word without answering his question.
"By the sea, let's go and see the sunrise."
Yi Zhu felt relieved, leaned in his arms, and gently rubbed his face.
"Maybe one day, I will fly outside this atmosphere to see it, but I hope it will come later that day." Yi Tianxing, who was flying in the wind, looked at the night sky above his head, smiled slightly, and when he lowered his head, he realized that the child was already asleep.
———————————————
Yi Zhu woke up and rubbed his eyes with his fat hands without skill. He saw the face of his 18-year-old father. His usual simple face smiled slightly, his eyes staring straight ahead. The morning light flashed, and his whole face was shrouded in a faint light.
The sound of waves hitting the reefs was thunderous.
The little guy subconsciously turned his head.
When Yi Tianxing saw him awake, he smiled and pointed his finger in the direction of the depths of the sea: "It's the first time flying, the first time I saw the sea, I feel very good.
The depths of the sea are calm, the nearest part of the sea is roaring, and several ribbons made of white waves are hung on the sea surface for decoration.
The sun has broken free from the sea water, and there are colorful clouds dyed red by the rising sun in the sky, which contrasts with the cleaner sky.
The little guy got up and sat down next to the young father with some difficulty.
“Beautiful?”
"Um."
"Now you are human, so you must learn to look at the world from a human perspective and learn to find the beauty of the world with a human perspective." Yi Tianxing smiled and said, "This is why I brought you to the beach - a good man has a heart like the sea."
The little guy turned his head and listened to something profound to him.
Yi Tianxing gently patted his head: "I woke up last night. I was only eighteen years old and didn't have what a father should have... so many things, so when I think about you rolling around in life in the future, I don't know how to educate you, I feel a little nervous... Like you, I don't belong to this world simply, but the difference is that when I was young, my grandfather died and I grew up alone, so no one taught me anything. I slowly explored and felt everything myself."
"And you are different. I am by your side, so I want you to live happier than me and avoid detours." He smiled slightly, but his smile had a bit of bitterness, "I was a little autistic when I was a child..."
He ignored the child's understanding and said to himself: "In the county town, no one can beat me, so I was the most arrogant and coldest at that time. Fortunately, I met your mother later... Later, when I came to the provincial capital, I suddenly learned about the existence of many practitioners and found that some people were actually something I couldn't beat, so I started to smile and deal with it, but I felt quite comfortable in my heart, because after all, I found that I was not a lonely existence."
"If you want to enter the world, you have to learn to interact with people... wait, wait." He grabbed his hair anxiously, "Why is it a bit messy? Wait for me to organize the language."
Xiao Yizhu looked at him with innocent eyes.
Yi Tianxing said again: "You killed those kidnappers on the road. Although I was angry, the main thing was a little panic. I was worried that you would rely too much on your own ability beyond the world to obtain something that seems indifferent to me." He nodded, as if to strengthen his confidence in persuading children. "You and I can easily use your ability to obtain some things that are difficult for normal people to get after many years of struggle, such as wealth, power, status, etc. I am afraid that you will be blinded by these wishes. Of course, you are still young now.
Yi Zhu suddenly spoke, "Money is very good."
Yi Tianxing looked at him and said for a long time: "Money is good, but a philosopher said that we should let money be our slaves, not its slaves. Just like the ancient man in Gaoyang County, he had to put a pistol under his pillow every night when he sleeps. What's the fun of such a life? If we dare to do anything for money and don't have a trace of fear, then what are we?"
"The owner of money." Yi Zhu had a little bit of a bad idea. Of course, it was mainly because Yi Tianxing's educational methods were relatively backward.
...
...
"Don't worry!" Yi Tianxing screamed at the sea, turned his head and smiled, "Do you want to go to the sea to play? Every morning, there are Chinese white dolphins here."
The little guy shook his head, with a little fear on his face.
The Vermilion Bird's nature is fire and has a natural resistance to water.
Yi Tianxing didn't care about so much. He took off his clothes and stripped naked the little guy's light pink jumpsuit very savagely. He jumped off the reef with the little guy and fell heavily into the sea.
The gentle blue sea water surrounded them, and the fish in the water were frightened by these uninvited guests and swam away.
After all, Xiao Yizhu was not an ordinary person. After experiencing initial fear, she quickly adapted to the tolerance of the pressure of the seabed water, imitated her father's appearance, and used her skin to greedily absorb the oxygen in the seawater.
Yi Tianxing held its hand and swam into the sea.
The father and son poked their heads out from the bottom of the water, giggled and swam towards the place where the sun rose in the east, gradually turning into two small black dots.
——————————————
Sitting on the reef, the two of them shook their bodies gently, and the sky fire in their bodies emerged, instantly evaporating the salt water on their bodies, leaving a faint layer of salt on their bodies.
"Snow, Dad." The little guy giggled and clumsyly touched the salt grains on Yi Tianxing's chest with his fingers.
Yi Tianxing was itchy and laughed: "This is salt. We both work harder. This thing will burn more than 1,400 degrees." As he said that, the two of them bulged their cheeks, like two bulging frogs, pushing the sky fire out of every pore in their bodies, and melting and steaming the salt particles with hissing sound.
The sea breeze is coming, with a slight fishy smell and coolness.
"As soon as I want to reason with you, I will be a little stupid and a little confused." Yi Tianxing turned his head slightly and smiled: "But I took you to the sea for a trip just now. Do you think it's fun with those dolphins?"
