Volume 1 The Butterfly That Can't Fly Over the Sea Chapter 53 The Grass Ring

My wife has been dead for almost sixty years.

Her health has always been very good, and she has the relics left by the monk to protect her, so it stands to reason that it is not a problem to live a hundred years old.

But she was not yet forty-five years old when she died, and in the light and shadow of the relics, when she lay on the sickbed, she was so weak that she could not look like an old man of eighty or ninety years old.

I'm good, after the relics returned, I couldn't hold on for a few years, but I survived.

Although I was still trapped at the bottom of the river and couldn't move, I was able to swim out of my body by relying on the relics, and I immediately thought of my son.

His name was Liu Gui, and I spent a full tael of silver to ask the most learned gentleman in Wupan City at that time to give him a name.

He said Gui, Yuya. It is the instrument of the gentleman and the emperor, it is difficult to damage the year, and it is as soft as spring.

I watched as my fifteen-year-old Gui'er buried her mother alone. The relatives of the Xue family were willing to take care of it, but he remembered his mother's last words, and the bun spread out by himself.

So he made noodles alone, repaired the steamer alone, ate alone, and wept alone in the night holding the pillow.

I wanted to hold him and tell Daddy that he was always there.

But the power given to me by the relics can only make me watch, but I can't do anything, I can only pretend that I am still with him and accompany him. He is a strong child, and with the help of the Xue family, he has finally grown up. He remembered his mother's words and kept the bun shop open. I stayed with him and watched him grow from a little boy to a man, he had a girl he liked, and began to toss and turn at night, but he had a thief's heart and no thief's courage.

I was so anxious that I wanted to give him two feet and tell him that if he liked it, he would go for it.

Fortunately, he was lucky, the elders of the Xue family made the decision for him and married the girl he liked.

The girl is good, diligent, and beautiful, the life of the young couple is prosperous, after a few years, the life is stable, the husband and wife have some savings, the girl is also pregnant, my son is very happy, that day at home hand and dance, happy as when I was a child when I first made him a bamboo horse. I'm also very happy, I'm running around him, it's a pity that he can't see me.

Later, my eldest grandson was also born, and I also giggled and felt satisfied when I saw my son and daughter-in-law rejoicing.

Just when I thought that their little couple would live a carefree life like this, he suddenly fell ill, just like his mother, without warning. The daughter-in-law used up all her savings and invited the best Langzhong she could invite, but she still lacked skills. At that time, my grandson was only ten years old.

I sensed something was wrong.

It shouldn't.

I returned to the bottom of the river and began to examine it all, and I had a vague sense that it had something to do with the thing that was trapping me and constantly draining my power. With the help of the relics, I began to trace the whereabouts of the power in my body, following the traces of the surging power along the Wupan River.

I realized that the ability that the relics gave me was not infinite, it was extremely limited, and it allowed my consciousness to stay in the river basin under my jurisdiction as a river god, and once I transcended that river basin, I would become extremely weak, and there would be a force that kept pulling me and pulling me back.

I didn't give in, I tried countless times, and each time I ended up being stunned by the pulling force, and when I woke up, I would be back in my physical body. But I gradually found that every time I moved a little more distance than the last time, even if this point is nothing compared to the long and vast Wupan River, but as long as there is hope, I am willing to keep trying, I want to find the root of the matter, for my wife and son.

Many years have passed.

My grandson grew up, got married, and had children, but he was worse than his father, who lived only thirty years old, and died before he could see what his daughter looked like.

I realized that if I didn't solve this problem, my descendants would suffer like this, and it would be like a curse that would follow my descendants until we became extinct.

I started to swim harder against the current, and I've been swimming like this for more than 30 years, but the farthest I can reach is still only a tenth of the entire Wupan River basin. I was desperate, especially as I watched Qingyan grow up day by day, and this despair became more and more intense.

I can't imagine how I will face the day when she dies in front of my eyes like her father, her grandfather, and her grandmother, and I know that this day is not as far away as I imagined.

Until one day, I swam a longer distance, and of course there was no culprit I was looking for, there was something else thereβ€”another river god, the river god of my upper waters.

It was a tortoise, a tortoise the size of a foot and a foot in size. When I saw him, he had turned into an empty shell, only the huge tortoise shell still stood at the bottom of the river, and I smelled the thing that had trapped me on his corpse. I shuddered, and suddenly realized that what that force wanted to extract was the luck of the entire Wupan River.

He wants to be the river god of Wupan River - the real river god.

Everything suddenly became clear, I am the river god of the Wupan River, my son, wife, and even every descendant will share a little bit of luck with me, but even if it is only a little bit, the spell caster or that method is like this, it is extremely vicious, and anyone with a little bit of Wupan River luck will not escape the devouring of that method.

Sometimes the answer is more frightening and desperate than the unknown.

Who drove the river gods in the waters of the Wupan River into the Wupan River? It was the Dayan Imperial Court.

Who could have such great ability to let the Dayan Imperial Court let him devour the luck of the entire Wupan River?

Whatever it is, it's not something that my little Jiang God can compete with.

I gave up the struggle, and cowered at the bottom of the river, not even daring to look at Qingyan outside, I was afraid that I would see her like her father, her grandfather, or her grandmother.

Liu Jiejie glanced sideways at Wei Lai, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Compared to you, my tolerance in this regard seems to be much worse. ”

Wei Lai was noncommittal about Liu Jiejie's words, and he asked, "Then what happened later? How did you escape from the bottom of the river?" ”

Liu Yujie blinked: "Because of you." ”

"Later, the news that the imperial court canonized the Wupan Dragon King as the god of the Wupan River came, and I only knew who was responsible for all this, but this didn't seem to change anything. ”

"Until one day, a scholar with his child broke through the river and came to me. ”

"They gave me a Blood Pill. ”

Liu Jiejie said and took out the pill from his arms and handed it to Wei Lai, Wei Lai took the thing, he was slightly stunned, the look in his eyes was still a little confused, obviously, a blood inscription pill should not be able to change Liu Jiejie's embarrassing situation at that time.

Liu Jiejie saw his confusion and continued his story.

......

Of course, a Blood Inscription Pill can't change my predicament.

But although I am in an embarrassing situation, I can still be regarded as the river god of the Wupan River. You worship me, worship me sincerely, you and I have a trace of cause and effect, you recognize me as the god of the Wupan River.

Of course, this is of little use.

But things in the world are strange in a fateful meeting.

Your cultivation of that strange technique seems to be able to connect you with the qi of the Wupan Dragon King, and between the laws of heaven and earth, you are the righteous god of this Wupan River.

You see, in this way, things are wonderful.

Since the gods of the Wupan River have recognized me as the river god of this water, then am I really the god?

The method that pressed on me became weaker and weaker day by day from the beginning of your cultivation of that method, and then I had the ability to move freely, and then I could even climb out of the Wupan River with difficulty on my own and set foot in this city again.

You say, isn't it all because of you?

Wei Lai, who heard this, couldn't help but be stunned, and then he smiled dumbly, all this was just an unintentional move when he was young, but he didn't want to achieve this opportunity for Liu Jiejie.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Wei Lai asked again.

There is no doubt about the strength of the Wupan Dragon King, Wei Lai will not be his opponent now, and Liu Jiejie will not be, so in this way, it seems that even if Liu Jiejie escapes, he will not be able to change Liu Qingyan's situation.

Liu Jiejie smiled slightly, took out another thing from his arms, and handed it to Wei Lai, Wei Lai looked at it fixedly, but saw that it was a black stone that was clean and unpretentious, but like jade.

"This is?" Wei Lai took the thing, and an indescribable breath poured into Wei Lai's body along the stone, Wei Lai's body shook, and he only felt refreshed in a trance, and the fatigue of yesterday's sleepless night melted away, and at the same time, the pores around his body opened, and the whole person seemed to be connected with heaven and earth, indescribably transparent and comfortable.

This thing is obviously not an extraordinary product, and thinking about the story of Liu Jie's talent, Wei Lai suddenly understood what it was.

Wei Lai shuddered as he held the object's hand, and hurriedly handed it back.

But Liu Jiejie reached out at that time to block Wei Lai's hand, and he said calmly: "The monk said that I should give this thing to someone who is destined." ”

"When I was okay all these years, I thought, what is destined for someone, and where should I find it?"

"Later, I realized that there is no need to look for someone who is destined. We will meet by fate. ”

"I have a relationship with my wife, so I gave her the relics, but unfortunately she couldn't keep them, and the relics came back to me. ”

"What about you, your life is very hard, we met at the bottom of the river ten years ago, and you gave me a way to live. Ten years later, if I escape, I should return the favor to you. ”

"You say, is this fate?"

Liu Jiejie said this, and when he saw that Wei Lai was going to refuse, he smiled again: "Take it." Even if you don't need it, if you find someone destined in the future, just give it to him, and you can fulfill the monk's wish for me. ”

"After all, I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to do it for him again......"
