Chapter 21: The Dearest Stranger
"Do you remember why I named you Bairen?" the old man suddenly turned his head and whispered to Zhang Bairen.
"I remember that the master told me back then that he wanted me to learn to endure the sorrow of innocence, learn to endure the pain of forging the body, and learn to endure the pain of breaking love, so I named it Bairen, and the disciple never forgot the master's teachings" Zhang Bairen replied after thinking for a while.
"Hahahaha... It's rare that you can still remember what I said back then," the old man said, holding his long beard and looking at Zhang Bairen with very appreciative eyes.
"You have to remember that forbearance does not mean cowardice, but a way of making decisions after seeing the appearance of things clearly."
"The so-called forbearance is just that, that is, to learn to observe the world with your heart, to learn to give up the small love in your heart, in order to obtain the great love that ordinary people do not have, only when you learn to observe the whole world with the eyes of great love, you can detach from this world and achieve the supreme road"
The old man said to Zhang Bairen like a god at this time, and Zhang Bairen kept the old man's words in his heart word by word, although he could not fully understand the meaning at this time.
"Hey... Do you know why you often had nightmares when you were a child?" the old man suddenly reached out and touched Zhang Bairen's head, and said with some distress.
"Ah, master, how do you know that I always have such strange nightmares?" Zhang Bairen suddenly looked at the old man in surprise and said, because he had never mentioned this matter to anyone.
"By the way, master, it seems that I haven't had that nightmare for a long time!" Zhang Bairen suddenly woke up and looked at the old man and said.
"The reason why you have that nightmare is because you have a very powerful power in your body, if I guess correctly, the origin spirit beast in your body should be the Vermilion Bird origin spirit beast, one of the legendary four ancient divine beasts" The old man's eyes suddenly became a little terrifying and he said.
"Master, what are the Four Ancient Divine Beasts?" Zhang Bairen suddenly said in surprise in his heart.
"According to legend, the four great beasts of antiquity were born as early as the beginning of the reign of the gods at the beginning of heaven and earth, and the oldest beast god family, each of which has the vast power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
But it is such a group of beast god races with the power of heaven and earth, but they are very violent and arrogant, and they have led the beast god clan and the ancient gods to provoke disputes all year round, resulting in perennial wars throughout the ancient era."
"Later, he broke the rules of the gods and uncontrollably wanted to destroy the human world without any power to fight back, so that the human world faced the catastrophe of annihilation, but in the end, under the joint encirclement and suppression of countless ancient gods, he was able to kill his clan."
"But due to the power of the beast god race, although their bodies were destroyed, their souls escaped, and since then they have been hidden in the vast universe, and later they actually exist in a parasitic situation, living in the human body, and at the same time co-living and dying with the parasitic body."
"This is also the reason why after the end of the Age of the Ancient Gods, why ordinary human bodies can also cultivate, and there is also the origin spirit body of the beast spirit, the reason why human beings with this physique appeared in the world."
The old man seemed to be reminiscing about the past at this moment, and said slowly with his back to Zhang Bairen.
"Master, isn't there any other way to kill the spirit beast?" Zhang Bairen looked at the old man's back and suddenly said.
"You are it, it is you, this is the innate second life of their beast god clan, it can't be explained" The old man turned around and said slowly with some helplessness.
"Fortunately, they are only a form of spirit that exists in the mortal body, and cannot directly dominate the human mind, as long as the human being itself is strong enough and the will is strong enough, the beast spirit will never be able to harm the world."
"Master, according to what you say, this beast spirit is nothing to be afraid of."
"Hehe... If it were as simple as you say, then the world wouldn't have to worry about it..."
This human being with the beast spirit physique, once it reaches a certain strength, the power brought by the beast spirit is far beyond the reach of ordinary monks."
The powerful power brought by the beast spirit physique will slowly erode the human mind, and the more powerful the beast spirit, the more immeasurable the power it brings, and finally people will be lost in the endless power and unable to extricate themselves, this is the most terrifying existence."
The old man said slowly and sadly.
"But master, didn't you say that as long as the will is strong enough, they can't do anything?" Zhang Bairen continued.
"Huh, yes····· , the key lies here!" A hint of relief suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes, and suddenly he stretched out his finger and nodded three times in Zhang Bairen's heart.
Zhang Bairen felt the power from the old man's fingertips, suddenly raised his head, his eyes were very firm, and he said to the old man, "Master, I understand"
"Hahahaha... So good... That's great······" After glancing at Zhang Bairen behind him, the old man slowly walked towards the white light in the distance.
"Master... Where are you going? Master ·····" Zhang Bairen called hard and wanted to chase after the old man, but found that he couldn't move at all, and the whole world suddenly became dark.
"Ren'er! Ren'er, wake up, don't scare your mother!" I saw that Concubine Lian heard Zhang Bairen's call and immediately rushed to Zhang Bairen's side and called softly.
After a while, Zhang Bairen slowly opened his eyes. "Hmm..."
"Ren'er, you're awake, you're finally awake, God bless, you're really scared to death" Seeing Zhang Bairen wake up, Concubine Lian suddenly became extremely excited, and the eighth prince and Chen Liang and others who heard the sound also rushed over.
"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up, I'll just say that my nephew Jiren has his own blessing, and he will be fine, hahahaha..." The eighth prince was also very excited when he saw Zhang Bairen wake up, and said with a smile.
"Mother, why am I here?" Zhang Bairen said slowly after seeing everything around him, and as he spoke, he propped up his body and wanted to get up, and suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body.
"Don't move, lie down, do you know that you have been in a coma for seven days, the imperial doctor said that you have suffered serious internal injuries, and you must not act rashly" Concubine Lian immediately stopped Zhang Bairen's movements and said.
"Lord Wang, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" Zhang Bairen felt that his head was still confused at the moment, and then asked the Eighth Prince.
It turned out that after the battle between Zhang Bairen and the national teacher was over, the eighth prince who woke up led people to look for them all the way in the direction of their battle.
Later, on the hillside ten miles away, he finally found Zhang Bairen, who was unconscious with blood all over his body, and then hurriedly brought him back to the palace and invited the best imperial doctor to treat him, but many imperial doctors saw Zhang Bairen who was so seriously injured, and they were all helpless and did not dare to start.
Later, it was the eighth prince who forced him to force him with his life, so he asked the imperial doctor to bandage and treat Zhang Bairen, in fact, he just took some precious elixir to make a decoction for him to take.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bairen was really rescued.
After the incident finally subsided, Zhang Bairen was forcibly asked by Concubine Lian to lie on the bed for another half a month, in fact, a few days after Zhang Bairen woke up, Zhang Bairen had almost recovered.
On this day, Zhang Bairen, under the leadership of the eighth prince, came to the palace, because he always wanted to meet someone.
At this time, in the huge Dragon Breath Palace, all the subordinates have been summoned out, only the Eighth Prince and Zhang Bairen slowly entered the main hall, only to see a person lying on a huge dragon bed in the middle of the main hall, it is the current monarch, that is, Zhang Bairen's biological father.
Zhang Bairen slowly came to the side of the bed without saying a word at this time, and what caught his eye was a sallow face, and at this moment he was lying on the huge bed like a gossamer, and at this time Zhang Bairen finally understood what it meant to love and hate.
He hated, that is, the person in front of him abandoned him extremely ruthlessly, he loved, he had fantasized countless times that there could be a burly and tall man who would one day come to take him home, and for a while, his eyes were full of tears.
