Chapter 42 Birthday Gift from a Distance
Just as the atmosphere of the banquet was becoming more and more heated, the guests suddenly heard the calls of magical animals coming from the sky, shaking the whole field.
Everyone was shocked and rushed out of the house on guard.
However, he saw nine huge cranes rushing towards him from afar, followed closely by two figures. The one leading the way was the crane that had delivered the letter to Yang Tian.
The flock of cranes flew at an extremely fast speed. In just a few breaths, they had landed in the open space of Foley Manor.
Sure enough, behind the flock of cranes, a man and a woman floated down from the clouds, quickly came to Yang Tian, saluted solemnly and said: "Your servant Caiyu, your subordinate Liangyu, greet the young master. I am here to celebrate the young master's birthday on the order of the master of the family."
At this time, Yang Wen had already walked out quickly, came to the two of them and said, "Sister Caiyu, Brother Liangyu, why did you two come here in person?" After saying that, he wanted to help the two of them up.
The two of them remained in their positions, and Caiyu answered, "The master said that there has been unrest here recently, and in order to protect the young master's family, he sent the two of us here to celebrate his birthday. After the celebration, we will not be leaving for the time being, and we will be here to protect the young master. The master said that anyone who plots against the young master's family can be killed."
As soon as the word "kill" came out, they saw that although the two men bowed, they already had countless murderous intentions, which made everyone feel cold. It was obvious that the two men were not easy to deal with.
Yang Wen was stunned at first when he saw the two people's reactions, but he quickly reacted and quickly winked at Yang Tian.
Yang Tian also hurried forward to support them and said, "No need to be polite, please stand up quickly."
The two men then stood up straight. Caiyu smiled at Yang Tian and continued, "Birthday gift number one, a finishing touch pen. I wish the young master's wonderful pen will bring life to the painting and add the finishing touch."
Before he finished speaking, a crane came forward and offered a brush on its back. It was unknown how this brush was made, but its simple shape, delicate workmanship, and ancient charm that seemed to have been polished by time made it obvious that it was not an ordinary product.
Yang Tian didn't even have time to take a closer look and quickly took it solemnly.
Seeing that the gift was completed, Caiyu said, "The second birthday gift is the spiritual cinnabar. I wish that the young master will be transformed from an ordinary person into a spirit, and the charm will be natural."
Another crane came forward and presented a large jade box with exquisite carvings. Yang Tian opened it gently, and his eyes were filled with a strange red color that looked like ointment and blood, and was extremely evil.
Yang Tian quickly closed the lid and took it solemnly.
"Birthday gift number three, a meditation cushion. May the young master see his true nature and find jade in the mountains."
"Birthday gift number four, a white jade ring named Qiankun. May the young master embrace the world and be as open as the sea."
"Birthday gift number five, a beast-taming ring. May the young master be able to control spirits and help Mantian."
"Birthday gift number six, a Gyrfalcon. I hope the young master can see through things and distinguish right from wrong."
"Birthday celebration ceremony seven, seek the cause and compass. May the young master find the cause and trace the result, and his thoughts will be clear."
"Birthday gift number eight, a soaring cloud. May the young master read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles."
"Birthday gift number nine: Ice Silkworm Jade Cloth. May the young master have a body of steel and iron, and be invincible."
Yang Wen was fascinated by each birthday gift. Others might not know the value of these things, but he knew it very clearly.
He had only heard of some of these things but had never seen them. This was enough to show how much the old man thought of Yang Tian.
Yang Wen felt an inexplicable sourness rising up in his heart, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head. How biased could this person be?
Although the guests around did not know the value of the items, nor could they understand the Chinese words of blessing, they were all shocked by the grand occasion.
The Yang family is obviously a family with profound heritage and strong strength.
Looking at the cranes that left on their own, and Caiyu and Liangyu who were following Yang Tian closely, all those who had looked down on or were hostile to him before changed their expressions slightly and adjusted their strategies in their minds.
Even Lucius, who was the most hostile, hid his emotions even more deeply and warned his wife and son not to conflict with Yang Tian unless necessary.
It was a birthday party that was enjoyed by both the guests and the hosts, and ended late at night.
In addition to receiving enough birthday gifts, Yang Tian also gained the friendship of Neville Longbottom. The fat man thought very highly of Yang Tian, and the two sides agreed to exchange letters.
Although Yang Tian really hoped that Neville could visit their home more often, for some reason, Neville's grandmother politely refused.
As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet, and Yang Tian did not push too hard. There will be plenty of time to spend together in the future, so why rush...
The next morning, a thin figure stood on the clouds and flew cheering in the sky above Foley Manor.
Somersault Cloud, this is the name Yang Tian gave to his Tengyun. According to Aunt Caiyu, Tengyun is a very rare flying prop. The main reason for its rarity is its rare growth potential.
In other words, as the master's strength improves and the master focuses on training, Tengyun will achieve breakthroughs in certain aspects, such as attack or defense capabilities, or increase flight speed, etc., all kinds of unexpected abilities.
To describe Yang Tian’s feelings during the test flight, there is only one word: awesome.
With just a little thought and a little help from the body, Tengyun can fly according to the instructions, very smoothly. Whether standing, sitting, lying or lying down, it will not affect Tengyun's movement.
When Yang Tian was having a great time, he saw Caiyu already standing in the open space of the manor, waiting quietly.
Yang Tian was startled, and quickly flew down, stopping beside Caiyu and saying hello: "Good morning, Aunt Caiyu, you got up so early? Did you rest well?"
"Thanks to the young master, I had a good rest. As a cultivator, one must make good use of the early morning time."
After a pause, Caiyu continued, "That's right, young master. The master asked us to come here, on the one hand to protect your safety, and on the other hand, he also hopes that you can have a systematic study of cultivation."
Yang Tian agreed with this wholeheartedly. Since he was three years old, he has only done one thing in his cultivation, painting. This made Yang Tian, who was always very particular about everything, very uncomfortable. It was not Yang Tian's character to know the facts but not the reasons.
Seeing Yang Tian readily agreed, Caiyu smiled with relief and said, "Then let's start the morning class now."
Then he went straight to the point and continued, "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. Namelessness is the beginning of heaven and earth..."
During a morning class, Yang Tian sat on his meditation cushion, listening silently with his mouth wide open.
It turned out to be the Tao Te Ching? In his previous life, Yang Tian had always believed that the Tao Te Ching was a philosophical book, or even a political or military book. But in this life, it was regarded as an introductory book on cultivation, and Yang Tian was confused.
However, as he listened, Yang Tian was surprised to find that Caiyu's interpretation of the Tao Te Ching was no different from that in his previous life, but on the meditation cushion, he felt a sense of enlightenment that was neither right nor wrong, and seemed to be understood.
Yang Tian felt as if he understood something, but it also seemed as if nothing had changed. It was very mysterious and indescribable.
Looking at Yang Tian's hesitant expression, as if he understood but didn't, Caiyu smiled in admiration, but did not let him ask questions, and just continued explaining.
During the two-hour morning class, only a few hundred words of the Tao Te Ching, which has more than 5,000 words, were taught. However, Yang Tian seemed to be enveloped by the mystery and closed his eyes in deep thought.
Just like that, Yang Tian’s daily activities now include a compulsory morning class…
