Volume 1 Wandering the World Chapter 18 An Old Man
Wrists, forearms, whole arms, shoulders.
After a few breaths, a force pulled his right hand and touched the mist.
Again, two "needles" injected this mysterious sensation into his body at the same time.
After a few more breaths, the mysterious feeling did not stop. After the left and right arms were completely filled, the sensation traveled towards his torso.
At this time, Xu Pingfan was like a vegetative person, slaughtered by others.
When the mysterious feeling flowed into his mind at the last moment, he fainted.
At the moment when he fainted, time seemed to stop.
All the people's movements are frozen in this moment, whether in the mountains or in the city, all, all, without exception.
The only one who can move in the whole world is Xu Pingfan.
……
I don't know how long it took, Xu Pingfan was pulled out of a coma by a looming voice.
“…… Hey, hey, hey, boy, wake up!"
“…… Well?...... This...... Where is this?"
What catches your eye is a quaint log cabin. Xu Pingfan was lying on the bed, and the slightest movement would creak and creak. Next to him was an old man, who didn't look very old, probably in his early sixties, but the whole person was in good spirits and his body was very strong, not like an ordinary person.
"You finally woke up, do you know how long you've been asleep? Seven days and seven nights, I shouted to you here for seven days and seven nights before you woke up!"
"Where am I? There is no one living on Wuji Mountain, and there is no such house?" Xu Pingfan sat on the bed and looked around suspiciously.
"There is no one living in Wuji Mountain? That's impossible, there are so many people in the fairy world, and there are tens of thousands of people living in seclusion in the entire Wuji Mountain, not to mention that this place is not called Wuji Mountain, it's called Wuji Mountain Range. The old man looked at Xu Pingfan as if he was looking at a fool.
"Immortal Realm?Wuji Mountain Range?" Xu Pingfan's mind was blank, as if he was being chased by a college student to teach calculus as a primary school student.
"Hmm, you're not from the fairy world?" the old man's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he asked softly.
"What kind of fairy world? You're making a movie, aren't you? I'm an earthling! You're not going to be an alien, are you?"
Hahahaha!
The old man laughed for more than a minute before stopping, then got up from the chair, supported Xu Pingfan's shoulders, let him sit on the edge of the bed, swished his throat, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, young man, from this moment on, your fate has changed." ”
"What and what, what fate has changed?" Xu Pingfan shook his head, still keeping twelve points of vigilance at the person in front of him and the words in his mouth.
"Have a cup of tea and listen to me slowly. ”
Xu Pingfan took the tea, but he didn't dare to drink it.
"I am a gatekeeper, and this door is the door between the earth and the fairy world. Have you come into contact with a mysterious power, and that mysterious power enters your limbs, then your torso, and finally your brain?"
"That's right. ”
"That's right, to put it bluntly, you are like you are in the casino with all your net worth, and you bet on a leopard six, as soon as people open it, the result is really, you are like this now, do you understand?"
"I don't understand. ”
"Why are you so stupid, that is, you were chosen by God, understand? God makes you stronger, let you do what you want to do, and I, the messenger of God, my purpose here is to wait for God to come down to the person he has chosen, and then help you. "The old man is also in a hurry, he has seen such a stupid person, but he has never seen such a stupid person.
"That's... Then why did God choose me?"
"Do you think I know it? I've said it ten thousand times, I'm just a janitor, he chooses someone to give it to me, and I'll do my best to help you, and then what you're going to do has nothing to do with me, you know?" the old man was anxious and began to shout.
"Know... Got it. Xu Pingfan probably understood his identity, and knew that since the person in front of him could be selected as the gatekeeper, it meant that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Okay, from today onwards, I will be your master, remember, the word master is not something that ordinary people can use. Teacher, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts. You can call the person who disciplines you a teacher, but you can't call it a teacher, the teacher must be someone who has taught you what you have learned all your life, and even handed over your life to you, without hesitation, and helps you go further. Although you may meet such people in the future, most of them are because they have found a shining point in your body, or they are forced to do it, so you can call those people teachers, but you can't call them teachers. Do you understand?" said the old man, earnestly.
"Understood, Master. Xu Pingfan replied solemnly.
"Good, you've got it. In the fairy world, there are actually many rules for apprenticeship, but in my case, first, you are a chosen person from heaven, and if I am not a gatekeeper, I am not qualified to be your master. Second, I'm a lazy person, so I don't have so many rules. After drinking this cup of tea, I am your master, and you are my only disciple. ”
Xu Pingfan stood up, picked up the teacup, and drank it all. At the same time, a mysterious sensation suddenly hit him, filling his brain like an initiation.
"This tea is called Wudao Tea, which is made from the leaves of the ancient god tree Wudao Tree. You don't have to feel distressed, first, I still have a lot of these leaves, all of which are given to me by God, and they are all prepared for you, and you have to use them before you leave, and you can take the rest with you. Second, when you go to the fairy world in the future, you will still encounter it, because the Enlightenment Tree is very famous in the fairy world, and you can go to the Enlightenment Tea Party held by him at that time, and you can get the Enlightenment Leaf. The old man patiently explained.
Two hours later.
"It's so comfortable. Xu Pingfan opened his eyes and said slowly.
"Sure enough, the people chosen by God are different. By the time you attend the Enlightenment Tea Party, you'll understand what I mean. ”
"Master, what is the purpose of this enlightenment tea?" Xu Pingfan asked with a puzzled face.
"This enlightenment tea, after you drink it, will enhance your cognition of things for a certain period of time. For example, if your knowledge of a book of exercises has only reached the point of getting a first glimpse of the path, and if you practice it after drinking enlightenment tea, you will understand the meaning of this exercise more easily. ”
"Is there such a magical thing?" Xu Pingfan said in surprise.
"When you can leave, you will understand that there is such a thing as enlightenment tea, except for the enlightenment tea party, you can't touch it. But its effect is limited to enlightenment, the longer it takes you to wake up, the longer you can be enlightened, and the better the effect, so it is not magical, and it is also a well-known thing in the fairy world. ”
"By the way, Master, I haven't asked for your name yet. ”
