Volume 1 The Little Boy Who Seeks to Learn the Sword Chapter 18 The Immortals
There are two wells behind the courtyard of the Zhujia Restaurant in Yanming Town, the well water is sweet, which is the water source for the daily life of the restaurant and the brewing and cooking.
Zhao Yongchang likes to pee with a bunch of little naughty ghosts running here to frolic and play, making the backyard of the restaurant chickens flying and dogs jumping into the miasma. It's just that the shopkeeper of the restaurant is reasonable and likes children very much, so he didn't say anything cruel to this group of friends, and after coming and going, it became Zhao Yongchang's playbase.
It's just that as they get older and older, that group of people has long since lost the childish appearance of the past. The number of people is getting smaller and smaller, for Zhao Yongchang, who grew up in Yanming Town, Longquan County, since he was a child, he doesn't feel anything, or doesn't care too much.
Since Ye Fan left, he has not been in a good mood every day, and he is even a little depressed.
This is really an unprecedented first time for Zhao Yongchang, who is very arrogant and careless.
Not long ago, there was a brutal woman who couldn't fight with Ye Fan's father, and swaggered into Ye Fan's house, not to mention, but also turned it around. There were not many ornaments in the courtyard, and the woman had broken and damaged a lot.
Zhao Yongchang happened to meet him when he ran to clean the yard before, and he was so angry that his face was flushed and he quarreled with the woman. The woman scolded her for not doing a good job, but she knew that she was wrong, so she simply put on a scoundrel posture that you can do with me. Zhao Yongchang dragged the woman to the official mansion, and the woman was a little panicked, hurriedly said some kind words, and ran away while he was not paying attention.
As long as Zhao Yongchang is fine, he likes to squat next to the well, and he is the scene of most of the day. As for the schoolwork, anyway, his father and mother at home were not strict with him, and Mr. Wen was not the one to complain, so he walked around the well leisurely every day. Zhao Yongchang also thought about talking to Mr. Wen about the conditions, he only went to the course for five days a month, and as long as Mr. agreed, he would give him half of the pocket money, which would be used as money for a few books. It's just that after all, he is a simple-hearted teenager, and he is in awe of Mr. Wen, so he is embarrassed to open this mouth.
In fact, Zhao Yongchang didn't think about any esoteric questions when he was stunned, just wild thoughts. Why do people have to be divided into men and women, why is there a nose under the eyes, why are they all people, why is Zhao Qing's little white face so good-looking?
Zhao Yongchang looked at the well water that had formed a layer of ice on the surface today, and began to calculate Ye Fan's distance, according to the young man's foot strength, he should have walked four or five hundred miles these days.
The boy was a little sad and a little happy.
Zhao Yongchang, the gang of people in Yanming Town, couldn't play with them at all, and they were basically general friends who met and said hello. As soon as Ye Fan left, Zhao Yongchang could only stare at these wells. In fact, those peers really want to have a deep friendship with Zhao Yongchang, but none of Zhao Yongchang can look at it, and people can't always stick a hot face to a cold ass, so it's over, and he is happy to be idle.
Zhao Yongchang has been even more upset in the past two days, because every time he is in a daze by the well, an old man who looks like a Taoist comes to disturb him.
The old man looked at the fairy wind Dao bones, wearing a Dao crown and a robe, and he had a more superior demeanor when he shook off the dust. As soon as they met, they said that they were Kunlun Mountain Heavenly Monarch, and they wanted to accept him as an apprentice and go to Beihua Yangzhou to practice immortality, and they could inherit the position of Heavenly Monarch to him in the future.
Zhao Yongchang didn't pay attention, because since he was young, he had seen such people, all of them without exception in the name of cultivation. The boy is in no mood to care about him now, otherwise he would have to scold him for being a bloody dog.
It's just that Zhao Yongchang didn't expect that he was too lazy to take care of him, and the liar still kicked his nose and cheek to annoy him from time to time. If it weren't for the good attitude of the old man, Zhao Yongchang would have wanted to give him an electric cannon and tell him that the master is not one of those stupid people who can fall for you, an old liar.
In fact, that Dao person is also full of sorrow now, if it is a child of an ordinary family, it is very easy to solve it if he exerts his magical powers a little and gives some money, but what can he do if he can't be forcibly taken away? I never thought that the will of heaven would make people, such a good seedling who is extremely suitable for the Kunlun faction has an inextricable relationship with Mr. Wen, not to mention robbery, just want to show his identity to prove that he is suspected of overpowering others. If Mr. Wen is annoyed, the disciple will not be able to do it at that time, and then there will be no good fruit to eat in the whole Kunlun, and let others see the joke in vain.
It's not that the Taoist didn't want to talk to Zhao Yongchang's parents, but after staying in the town for these days, the young man's mother and son had already inquired about how much they loved their son. If the woman knew that her heart and liver were going to go to Beihuayang, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away from home, to practice, she would definitely not be reluctant, and if the matter was too big to end, she would have to give up.
Therefore, the Taoist can only use a war of words to try to persuade Zhao Yongchang to go with him. It's just that the Taoist broke his head and didn't expect that this lazy young man who looked stupid was so vigilant that his mouth was about to wear out, and it didn't have any effect at all. Seeing the young man's expression became more and more impatient, the Taoist really wanted to cry without tears.
The old man sighed in his heart, this disciple must be accepted, if Zhao Yongchang still doesn't believe and doesn't want to go with him, he can only risk angering Mr. Wen to try one or two, even if he pays a little price, he willingly admits it, even Yinghushan Tianjun's carefree and easy temperament has taken a fancy to the young man, how good Zhao Yongchang's root talent is can be seen from this. If he hadn't used some means, he would have to throw in and admit defeat if he didn't have 100 moves.
The Taoist came to the well behind the restaurant again today, and stood still not far from Zhao Yongchang, with a leisurely expression, calm and relaxed, brushing the dust on his elbow, and did not go straight to the young man as usual, but just smiled slightly, looking at him quietly.
Zhao Yongchang was upset, but the person didn't have any extra movements, and he couldn't say anything. The boy turned his back and crouched down by the well, not looking at the old liar.
The Taoist paced gently, with mixed feelings, and muttered to himself: "Feng Shui resort, outstanding people, and the division of yin and yang, it is really the chosen one." ”
Zhao Yongchang didn't raise his head, as if he hadn't heard.
Seeing that Zhao Yongchang didn't take a stubble, the Taoist's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "It is rumored that the Dao Ancestor Sage can see a heaven and earth from a leaf, which is really a great power. The poor Dao Dao Law and the Dao Ancestor Sage can't be compared, but it is not difficult to see some clues from this courtyard. ”
The old Taoist stretched out his left hand, holding an ordinary white bowl filled with half a bowl of water, walked to the well next to the young man, and gently placed the white bowl on the side of the well.
The well water, which had been frozen, suddenly seemed to be boiling, and bubbles kept emerging, and within a moment, a column of water erupted from the bottom of the well, heading straight for the white bowl. Zhao Yongchang's heart was tickled by the movement behind him, and he looked back curiously, and was speechless by the scene in front of him.
This process lasted for half an hour, and Zhao Yongchang didn't care whether this person was a liar or not, so he quickly walked to the well and looked into the bowl in three steps and two steps. I saw that the water in the white bowl was not more, no less, or half a bowl, as if it was Zhao Yongchang's hallucination just now, but in fact, not even a single drop of water went in.
Zhao Yongchang was extremely shocked, thinking that he was dreaming, and gradually turned into fear from the initial confusion, and said to the Taoist in front of him stumblingly: "Water... What about water? You're not a liar, really... It's really immortal... Immortals?"
The Taoist faced Zhao Yongchang, picked up the white bowl, and stretched out his hand to hand it out: "Do you want to see it?"
Zhao Yongchang hurriedly shook his head like a bulge, turned his hands behind his back, and avoided the white bowl.
The old man chuckled lightly and said gently: "This bowl can't eat people, why are you so afraid? Take it and see if you know whether Poor Dao is a liar or not." ”
Although the Taoist said so, Zhao Yongchang still beat the drum in his heart. But he was also afraid that if he didn't agree, he would displease the gentle Taoist in front of him, so he could only stretch out his hand tremblingly, carefully take the white bowl, bring it to him, and look down.
After a long time, I didn't see the slightest movement in this white bowl, just before Zhao Yongchang was about to return the white bowl to the Taoist.
A wrist-thick stream of water sprayed out of the white bowl and went straight to Zhao Yongchang's door.
The boy panicked, thinking that the water was coming, so he quickly withdrew his hands and covered his eyes.
After a long time, Zhao Yongchang did not feel the impact of the water, slowly let go of his hands and opened his eyes.
Zhao Yongchang looked at the scene in front of him, his mouth gradually opened, and his shock was beyond words. If the white bowl absorbing water was just a small impact before, then what Zhao Yongchang sees now is a stormy wave.
I saw that with the teenager as the center, the entire yard was surrounded by a transparent film, which was crystal clear and beautiful. Inside the membrane, there is a small world full of water.
It's a small world, but it's all there. There are trees, flowers, birds, and animals. There are old people, immature and childish. There are also alleys and a few ordinary people's homes. These scenes of water are no different from the human world, except for the smaller ones. Zhao Yongchang stretched out his hand tremblingly, pinched his thigh hard, and realized that he was not dreaming after feeling the pain. Those creatures composed of water, after seeing the young man, turned to Zhao Yongchang one after another, and actually bowed down in unison to worship for a long time.
The Taoist was above the sky, overlooking the ground, and when he saw this scene, he bowed slightly, thinking that he was indeed a natural water monarch, and he was not wrong.
Zhao Yongchang was a little scared, he didn't see the figure of the Taoist when he looked around, and he couldn't help but shout anxiously: "Dao Chief, I believe that you are not a liar, I really believe it." Come out quickly, don't scare me if I'm timid. ”
When the man heard this, he shook off the dust, and a hole appeared in the film. The Taoist descended with the wind, his expression was gentle, and he slowly said to Zhao Yongchang: "Although you and I meet in Pingshui, I don't want to lie to you." To tell you the truth, child, you were born with a water life, and your roots and bones are excellent, even if you are a great sect that was only established on that day, it is also a hot cultivation seed. It's just that I paid a little price to have the opportunity to be the first to find you. Although I said that, my Kunlun sect is also the top sect second to none in the Hongmeng world, so I will only ask you one last time, would you like to go to Huayang Yangzhou with me to practice, and take up the position of Kunlun Heavenly Monarch in the future? Now you don't know how tempting the Heavenly Monarch is, but I just remind you that there are only five people in the whole world, and the power in your hands is very great, and the wealth and immortality are not worth mentioning. ”
Zhao Yongchang's mind was now a mess of paste, but he was not confused after all, "Dao Chief, you let me slow down first." I'm confused about everything I want now, but you're too scary. ”
The Taoist stroked his beard lightly and nodded slowly, "Then give you two days, and then give me an answer in this place." But you are not allowed to mention anything here, not even your parents. If it can't be done, then everything is vain, and the poor road will not mention the matter of accepting apprentices. ”
Zhao Yongchang didn't dare not agree, and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Daoist, I won't say anything about killing me." ”
The Taoist waved his sleeves, and everything in the film and the small world slowly disappeared, and then his feet left the ground and drove away.
Zhao Yongchang saw that the Taoist disappeared into the sea of clouds, and suddenly came back to his senses and ran away.
The timid boy felt that he must have seen a ghost in broad daylight.
