Chapter Twenty-Seven: Io's Journey

"This ...... Be...... Treat me like a ...... God? ”

After hearing Io's patchwork prayers, Chen Peng felt an indescribable sense of peacekeeping, and felt very strange.

However, after observing for so long, Chen Peng can figure out what happened to Io in that fragment plane.

Similar to what Chen Peng was born into, after eating the fruit that was actually the fruit of Chen Peng's soul, Io also gained some of Chen Peng's knowledge, such as some of the techniques he used to treat other tenants with traces of modern medicine, the knowledge that would inexplicably jump out of his brain from time to time, and the paper-making technology, etc., these are all things that Chen Peng saw and understood when he was a child - although Chen Peng doesn't remember it now, but Io obviously gained these memories, He also managed to survive because of this knowledge.

In addition, Chen Peng also understood that the part of the source power he lost was not extinguished, but was obtained by Io, but unlike the form of mental power that the source power came out of Chen Peng's body, Io's expression was completely an alternative model.

In the course of Chen Peng's observations, what he now possessed was the ability to soothe the minds of others, to calm the minds of people within a certain range, and combined with his unique medical skills and herbalism, he was very influential among the tenants in the manor - after all, if the tenants were sick, they could not find a priest to treat them, but could only rely on their own constitution until they were naturally cured or died.

Although Io's medical skills are too far from the modern medical skills of the earth, some common simple diseases are still fine, plus he is enthusiastic, eager to help others, and has a kind personality, which also makes him have great prestige among the lower classes of the manor, whether it is tenants, soldiers, or wilderness outcasts living outside the protection of the manor, they are willing to befriend him and maintain a good relationship.

Moreover, Io's ability to calm the mind can be applied not only to humans, but also to those ferocious creatures in the wild, which is why he can often go deep into the wilderness forests to find herbs or other valuable plants without being attacked by fierce beasts.

In addition to these, Io carved this one-eyed figure based on the dream he saw after eating the fruit he called the "Fruit of Wisdom", as an image of the god he believed in, and after a long period of sincere prayer, his mutated source power acted on this statue, turning into something similar to a signal shooter, and became stronger and stronger over time, shooting out the pure spiritual power that his pious prayers turned into, and the direction locked by the signal shot was Chen Peng, the original owner of this source power, This is also the reason why Chen Peng has started dreaming these days.

All in all, his follower looks like a combination of a barefoot man, a psychiatrist, a druid, and a god.

Seeing this, Chen Peng no longer had the idea of avoiding Io and this fragment plane at the beginning, and he was now very interested in Io, especially some things that were not recorded in the knowledge of the Iris people, which made Chen Peng vaguely have an idea.

"This is the thread of faith that connects the gods and the believers in those Western fantasy stories?" Although he didn't know what it should be called or what its purpose was, he felt that it was quite appropriate to call it the thread of faith.

Chen Peng looked at the silver thin line that was connected to himself at one end and the other from Io, and reached out to touch it, but it was only empty, and then he remembered that he was only in a soul state now, and this line obviously did not exist in reality.

Chen Peng noticed that this line was not directly connected to his body, but only stopped at a distance of about half a meter in front of his forehead, and there were continuous ripples at the end of the line, which should have affected him.

"What if we connected?"

Chen Peng thought about it, cautiously stretched out his right index finger, and gently pointed at the end of the silver silk thread, and suddenly, a trace of cool feeling like a clear spring spread into Chen Peng's body along his index finger, and suddenly a sense of comfort was born, and the source power that had been damaged since the failure of that soul journey and had not been able to fully recover also began to show signs of recovery.

"Could this be the key to restoring and strengthening the source power?"

A surprise immediately emerged from Chen Peng's heart, but after a while, he calmed down, because the coolness had been cut off, and the silver thread of faith was also much dim and illusory, as if it would disappear at any time.

"So that's the case, the source of faith is insufficient?"

A glimmer of enlightenment rose in Chen Peng's heart, and for a moment his thoughts flashed through various religious-related fragments of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign novels, whether true or mythical or wild history, and then converged, deleted and adapted into a somewhat disorganized hodgepodge of ideas.

"Why don't you let Io try it according to this idea?" Chen Peng thought with interest, feeling that although his idea was a little unreliable, it must be very interesting.

However, almost just a moment of thought, Chen Peng suddenly realized that part of his source power, which had only recovered in the past few days, suddenly dropped sharply, and did not stop until it was about to dry up, and then he saw a trace of blue light quickly passing along the silver thread on his side to the other side, almost for a moment, the blue light on the silver thread was already far away.

"What's the situation?! Don't fool me. ”

For a while, Chen Peng looked at the source force that he had bottomed out to the point that he couldn't even push the paper ball, and he wanted to cry without tears. He knew that this situation was probably caused by his previous thoughts, and he sent his messy thoughts to Io like a phone call, but the phone used electricity, and his current method of transmitting information consumed his own source power.

Chen Peng, who was a little dumbfounded, immediately wanted to observe the situation on Io's side to see if it was the same as he thought, but now he couldn't contact Io's side no matter what, if it weren't for the fact that the line of faith still existed, he wouldn't have thought that what he had seen in his dreams in the past few days was really just an illusory dream.

Through this inexplicable incident, Chen Peng learned that the reason why he was able to connect to Io on the fragment plane a few days ago was because his own source power began to recover to a certain level, and now that his source power has bottomed out again, he naturally can't contact the fragment plane where Io is located, obviously, before his source power recovers again, he won't know what happened to Io's side after obtaining his message.

"This can be regarded as solving the trouble of dreaming." Chen Peng smiled bitterly.

……

On the other side of the thread of faith that Chen Peng could not see, Io, as usual, fell asleep after praying.

These days, Io was in a good mood, and he felt that the connection with the great being who had given him knowledge had deepened, and that intimacy that was closer than blood became clearer.

"God is watching me."

Today, during the usual bedtime prayer, he had a feeling in his dark that something was going to happen.

Sure enough, when he was asleep, there was a warm feeling, like being immersed in warm water, very comfortable, and a voice whispered beside him, very soft and soft, and he couldn't hear the content clearly.

Then Io woke up.

There was light in the room.

He saw that the statue was light, very bright, very warm, just like in the dream, an illusory shadow appeared on the surface of the statue, and when he saw Io wake up, this shadow suddenly burst out of the statue and pounced on Io's body, merging and disappearing.

On the surface, it seemed that Io had not changed at all, just froze, but he knew that when the phantom pounced on his body, countless strange knowledge and information immediately poured into his brain, shocking his consciousness into a blank.

It took a long time for Io to wake up.

The light in the house was gone.

Io's eyes flashed with a dazzling glint.

He came to the statue and knelt down.

"Great Lord, giver of knowledge, thy devotees do thy will, and spread thy radiance over the great 6 of this tribulation, that all may share in thy glory."

His whole body glowed with a silver glow, and in the midst of the light, countless symbols flickered.

"In this way, I swear by my qiē that as long as you still need me, I will love, protect you, and support you, and as far as my eyes can see, it will be your kingdom."

……

A few days later, in the early morning, fresh dew slowly flowed along the foliage, and the crisp sound of birdsong echoed through the fields.

Two little boys, about thirteen or fourteen years old, came out of a small hut at the edge of the field, each carrying a large shabby bag, which was stuffed to the brim, and looked very happy to carry it on their backs.

The two boys followed the path in the field all the way to the gate of the manor, where a young man in a simple gray cloth robe was already waiting, the young man was dressed very thinly, and more conspicuously his feet, which were clinging to the dirt of the road, so naked, and undressed.

"Hollid, Merry, have you decided? You will never come back when you get out of this manor, you must rely on yourself to face the dangers outside, fill your stomach with your hands, and find a place with your legs, are you ready? "The gray-robed boy is Io.

"Yes, we're ready, Brother Io, we'll go wherever you go." The two boys, both orphans adopted by Io two years ago, usually live on the edge of Io's ancestral field, and when Io decides to leave the manor, they insist on following Io's side, and also dedicate the fields and houses that Io gave them to Baron Baggins, in exchange for the right to leave the manor.

"Okay, then come with me." Io smiled and nodded, turning to walk out first.

The two little boys hurriedly followed.

The manor where they had lived since childhood became smaller and smaller behind them, and when the three of them climbed over a small mound, the manor behind them could not be seen, and at this moment, the three of them saw a person walking out of the dirt road and blocking the three of them.

"Uncle Pluto?" Io saw clearly that it was Pluto, a hunter who lived in a forest hut.

"Little Io, are you going to get out of here?" Pluto stepped forward, his massive body blocking the slanting sunlight, and a huge black shadow enveloped Io and the two little boys behind him.

"Yes, uncle." Io said.

"Why?" Pluto asked,

"My Father told me that if I want to solve the misfortunes of this world, I should step on every part of this world with my feet, see all the calamities of the world with my eyes, and experience all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows with my heart, and only then can I get the final answer."

"Really?" Pluto scratched his head and muttered, "I don't understand." He looked at the young man with a smile but a determined glint in his eyes, and finally nodded: "But I think it makes sense, then I'll go with you too." ”

"Uncle, ......," Io asked suspiciously.

"Anyway, it's the same wherever I live, and if you helped me, then I should help you too." Pluto patted Io's shoulder, grinning wide, revealing an ugly smile: "How can you travel in the wilderness without me?" ”

After staring at Pluto for a moment, Io smiled, "Welcome to Pluto, Uncle Pluto." ”

Then he asked the two boys behind him to come forward and wait for the four of them to form a circle before continuing: "My Father has said that every great cause needs a great team, and the members of a great team should have a great name. ”

(Chen Peng: When did I say that?) )

"God the Father has told me many of the names of the sages, and I have some that suit us well, and I hope that we can use the names of the sages to remind ourselves of what we should do and keep in mind our mission."

"That's a good note, so little Io, what do you think I should be called?"

"Uncle, you will be called Wukong in the future." Io blurted out. Pluto in front of him was tall and strong, his hands could hang down to his knees, his long messy hair and equally messy beard, which looked shaggy, which made Io think of the name at once.

"Goku?" Pluto struggled to pronounce the two words that tested his tongue, and then nodded: "It's a weird name, but it sounds good, then I'll be Goku from now on." ”

"Hollid, you're Wuneng, Merry, you're Wujing."

Io looked at the two little boys, who nodded their heads again and again, and practiced the two tongue twisters that Io said until they could remember and say them proficiently.

"Little Io, what is your holy name?" Pluto asked, wide-eyed.

"Pompon." Io raised his head and looked at the sun rising in the east, "From now on, I will be a ...... of Pomban"
