Chapter 5: The Half-Step Immortal in Distress (Part II)
Unexpectedly, a huge surprise was waiting for him. He had just completed the procedures for the purchase of the house and paid the down payment for three months, and the house price had more than doubled. Needless to say, the current price is not to mention, anyway, Lao Qi's financial capacity can't afford it at all.
Lao Ha is a husky, a dog he brought back from the flower and bird market after he left the Nanyan Group. He didn't bother to name him, so he called him Lao Ha, and they didn't put forward any different opinions, so they followed him for more than ten years. Especially due to physical reasons, he has been completely idle at home for the past few years, and his body has been blessed day by day, and he is dragged out of the community by Lao Ha every morning and evening for a walk, which has become the main activity of Lao Qi's exercise.
Last night, Lao Qi, who was at home alone, went out to walk the dog, and was dragged by Lao Ha a farther away without worry. When passing by the ruins of an unnamed ancient tower that had just been demolished to make way for the highway around the city, Lao Ha suddenly broke free from the chain and ran to the base of the ancient tower ruins as if crazy, where he played with the soil regardless of it. Lao Qi ran over panting, ready to teach Lao Ha a lesson, Lao Ha had already gouged out a black ring, and flatteringly took it to Lao Qi's hands.
Lao Ha knew that he could find good things in the ruins of ancient buildings, and Lao Qi, who smiled at Lao Ha's gift, patted Lao Ha's head happily as a reward. A jade artifact was dug out of the ruins of an ancient building, and Lao Qi felt that it was normal.
Lao Qi took a look in his hand, hey, yes, Lao Ha has also learned to pick up leaks, and it is still only jade. In addition to Lao Ha's saliva on the ring, there is no dirt at all, wipe Lao Ha's saliva, and put it in his pocket.
Lao Qi, who has lived nearby for more than ten years, is very familiar with the surrounding geographical environment, and the ancient tower that was demolished was originally built on a small earthen bag about ten meters high. Around the small dirt bag, a few years ago there was a small village of a few hundred people. After the transformation of the new countryside and the relocation to the newly built community, the houses in the old village were demolished according to the regulations. The small ancient tower has been standing alone on this hill until the construction of the ring highway began this year, and the location of the small ancient tower is in the way, so the tower can only be asked to go.
Such small ancient pagodas are scattered in the rural areas of central Yunnan, very ordinary, without any official name, and no one regards the small ancient pagoda as a cultural relic and monument, which needs to be protected. In recent years, new rural transformation has been carried out everywhere, and I don't know how many such small ancient pagodas have been demolished.
When he returned home after walking the dog, he was alone at home, and Lao Qi, who had nothing to do, made a pot of tea and went to the study to surf the Internet. He loves to play Go, although his level is not high, he can only bully and bully his eight-year-old niece who has achieved an amateur fourth dan, but it is still difficult to find a chess friend who plays Go. If it were chess, it would be easy to find, and there would be a group of old men and half-old men gathered at the old Ren who looked at the gate. There is no way, Qu is high and widowed, and when Lao Qi's hands are itchy, he can only go online to find someone to talk to.
I opened my Dell laptop, which I had used for more than four years, logged on to the QQ Go website, found a vacant seat and waited for the opponent, and soon waited for the old chess friends to start playing. Unconsciously, Lao Qi took out the ring that Lao Ha gave him from his pocket and played with it.
This black ring has no distinctive shape, round and round, judging from the feel, the material should be jade, which will not be wrong. Playing with it, Lao Qi put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand to try it.
This time, the trouble came, and the ring on the middle finger of the left hand was easily rooted, and it couldn't be taken out. tried all kinds of ways to toss until midnight, and more troublesome things appeared, and in Lao Qi's mind, there was actually an old man's voice talking to him.
After the popularization of the Internet, with the prosperity of online literature, time-traveling, rebirth, supernatural, and Xianxia have become popular entertainment topics. Even movies and TV series have begun to extract a lot of material from online literature, and even the time-traveling TV series adapted from the original book have been broadcast on CCTV in a grand manner. Surrounded by computer networks, smartphones. Netizens in this era, in the atmosphere of entertainment, there are very few people who don't know about time-travel, rebirth, fairytales, and supernatural beings.
Lao Qi is a programmer, and he has been a little unlucky in the past few years, but he is also a senior professional network person, and he usually likes to spend time on the Internet. I also read a lot of online novels in my boring time, so I naturally have a lot of knowledge and routines.
In this year, Lao Qi, who has experienced the ups and downs of life, is also downplayed, and at the age of 45, he is already the late age of knowing the destiny of heaven. Doesn't it mean that the rich rely on technology to make their fortunes, and the poor rely on mutation to change their lives? Anyway, it doesn't matter what he talks about in his head, even if he encounters the devil?
Lao Qi, who quickly calmed down, sat on the chair in front of the computer, followed the routine in the novel, and concentrated on asking with consciousness: "Who are you?
"Of course it's a fairy, do you think Lao Tzu is a demon and a monster?" The voice in my head was a man's voice, a little vicissitudes, a little unhappy.
"Hello immortals! you are the immortal of that road, how can you patronize the humble house, we are fated?" Lao Qi, who had already been released, continued to ask questions with his consciousness very routinely.
Regardless of whether the routine in the novel is true or not, everyone has a saying or consensus - this world is in the era of the end of the law, there is very little aura on the earth, and the mana of the immortals should be very limited. Lao Qi naturally thinks that this so-called fairy must be related to the ring, otherwise he has lived for decades and has not met a ghost, and today Lao Ha picked up a broken ring for him, and he couldn't take it off on his finger, so he met the fairy.
However, a so-called immortal who takes the initiative to talk to himself through the ring and does not let himself disappear immediately should not be terrible. It's like the monks and Taoist aunts he used to meet in places of interest or in street restaurants, right?
"Boy, don't be hippie and smiley, be serious. Do you think you're going to eat Lao Tzu? What are you going to do if you settle down?"
The old man in his mind, no, no, no, the old fairy seemed to be very angry, but he was also helpless to just warn Lao Qi - be serious.
"What is there in your old man's command, and the boy will do it?"
Lao Qi knows what is enough to stop, after all, people say that it is a fairy. As the saying goes, it's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, don't accidentally offend and it's hard to clean up.
"Hey, hey, boy, you're smart. Lao Tzu will not delay time, I will tell you about Lao Tzu, save you from thinking nonsense - thousands of years ago, this world entered the era of the end of the law, and the aura is getting less and less,......"
Sure enough, did the great gods who wrote the novel tell their own stories? Lao Qi listened to the stories of the old gods in his mind, and secretly wondered to himself.
“…… At that time, Lao Tzu, as a cultivator on the land of Shenzhou, defended the Ming army for the true dragon of the Han family and recovered the Dali Kingdom occupied by the Mongols. Lao Tzu's main task was to drive away the outside cultivators who had invaded the Central Plains. After several major wars. Lao Tzu happened to encounter the Immortal Tribulation, because it was inevitable to injure innocent civilians in the battle, and he was contaminated with cause and effect, and as a result, the Crossing failed and had to give up his body and store the Yuan Shen in the natal ring to wait for the immortal fate. I didn't expect karma in the era of the end of the Dharma to be so terrible. Not only was Lao Tzu unable to rebuild his physical body, but he couldn't even do it. ”
The story of the old fairy in Lao Qi's mind is almost finished. Lao Qi was secretly pleasantly surprised, another routine story, a story of a half-step immortal who failed to survive the immortal catastrophe and almost lost his soul.
