Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Soul Tinker
I applied the lower practice, and all I felt was a bead in my abdomen, the size of a thumb cap. Then I looked at Jewel and said, "What should I do?" Zhu'er hurriedly said, "Use your mind to turn the fishtail into legs." So I did as Pearl said, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the tail of the fish on my lower body had really turned into legs. So I stood up happily and walked a few quick steps, as I did when I was a human being, walking freely.
Then I looked at Zhu'er again and asked, "Then if I go to land in the future, will I age rapidly?" Zhu'er looked at me and said, "As long as you soak in water often, and immediately convert the aura on the shark bead into your own cultivation, it won't be." "I'm so happy that I can finally live like a human being.
So he happily said to Xuan Lei and Zhu'er: "Tomorrow we can go to the streets of the merman country to walk around." Zhu'er thought for a moment and said, "Mother, I can't go with you, but I'll wait for you to come back." When the time comes, I'll surprise you. "Thinking that this pearl has lived in this merman country for thousands of years, she must have been to all the places and places here, since she doesn't want to go, let her be......
The next day, before I opened my eyes, Xuan Lei was chattering outside the door. I thought I was worthy of a bird, so I got up early. Do early birds get worms? So I got up and freshened up, looked at my legs, and felt a lot better.
So he pushed open the door and walked out of the door, and Xuan Lei stood there stupidly at this time. He looked at me and said, "My aunt, you're really early enough to get up early, and it's going to be noon in a while." I looked at Xuan Lei and said, "Where did this bottomless valley come from, what morning, noon, and evening sayings, don't ink, hurry up." ”
I walked in front of Xuan Lei, and I was in a very good mood, and I saw something good on the side of the road. Just let him buy it for me, what merman oil, dragon silk yarn, night pearl...... But that Xuan Lei didn't look so happy, and asked me with a pout: "Buy so many things, the vendor wants Jingyuan." Why don't you use your own? I'm going to be hollowed out in a while. ”
I looked at Xuan Lei's reluctant look and said, "You don't want to, do you?" Well, look at some people lining up to buy it for me. So, he pointed to Ao Run and Ao Shun, who were rushing towards us. After a while, they came to the front. I looked at them and asked, "Why are you here too?" ”
Ao Run just glanced at me and didn't speak, and Ao Shun said: "This mermaid country is so big, we are afraid that something will happen to you, so we came with us." "I thought: Okay, it's all coming anyway, and it's safer to have a lot of people.
In this way, we also visited the street markets of the mermaid country. Xuan Lei stepped forward and whispered to me, "Do you really want to take the two of them there?" I looked at Xuan Lei puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" Why can't you take them with you? At this time, Ao Run walked over. And Xuan Lei hurriedly said: "Well, there's nothing to do, just go." ”
Ao Run stepped forward and asked me, "Where are you going?" I said, "Go and see the god who can mend souls." Ao Run hurriedly said: "Okay, let's go together." So we went all the way to the hill behind the market. Ao Shun stepped forward and knocked on the door, then asked, "Is anyone there?" ”
I heard an old man reply in a hoarse voice: "Wait. Then there was no sound, and the door did not open for a long time. So Ao Shun knocked on the door a few more times, and then asked respectfully, "May I ask the old man to open the door and meet us?" I heard the hoarse voice from the room and replied: "Why are these young people so impatient? Impatient to wait for such a while? So we didn't speak, but stood quietly outside the door.
After a long time, I heard the door creak open. I saw an old man with gray hair holding a hammer in his hand. He opened the door for us and said, "Come in, close the door." "We walked into the house and saw that there were cliffs all around, and there were large and small bottles hanging on the cliffs. I stepped forward and touched the bottle with my hand to see what it contained.
I saw that the old man hurriedly turned around and said, "Don't move, there is a human soul in there, and if you accidentally break it, do you know what it will mean?" I looked at the old man and shook my head. The old man then said, "It means that this soul will perish forever, and there will be no more such soul in the world." "I thought to myself, it's so serious, but it's good that I just touched it gently.
The old man picked up the hammer and sat down in his chair, knocking something unknown, and then looked at us. He asked, "Do you guys want to mend your souls?" I hurriedly replied, "Okay, please help me fix it." The old man looked at me and said, "Girl, your soul is so broken that I can't fix it." But the girl's self-healing ability is very strong, and she will soon be able to repair herself. ”
The old man looked at Ao Run and said, "This son's soul is missing a corner, I don't know if the old man wants to help you complete that corner?" Ao Run looked at the old man and nodded. The old man continued: "It takes two thousand years of essence to restore the soul of the childe. Xuan Lei hurriedly said: "You are an old immortal, you might as well go and grab it." Ao Run hurriedly raised his hand to signal Xuan Lei to stop, then looked at the old man and said, "Yes, I accept it." ”
I saw the old man get up from the chair and walk to Ao Run, and instantly stretched out his hand to Ao Run's heart. Pull out a shadow-like thing that is close to transparency. He put it on the table in front of the chair and beat it on the table with his hammer, just like a stall on the road to repair shoes. It's done in a while.
The old man stuffed the transparent stuff back into Ao Run's body. At this time, I was stunned for a while. I thought: This soul has really been ravaged by him, and it will be repaired with such a beating.
Looking at Ao Run, Ao Run seemed to have tears in his eyes at this time. I don't know what he went through, why he was so sad. At this time, Ao Run gave his 2,000-year-old essence to the old man. And the old man seemed to look at Ao Shun unwillingly, and then said: "This little boy, your soul is already scarred, how about the old man give you a discount on the thin face of that boy today and collect your two thousand years of essence?" As he spoke, he pointed to Ao Run.
This Xuan Lei hurriedly interjected again: "You are an old immortal, I don't think you are a good bird, you want so many essences, I am not afraid to blow you up." This Ao Shun is a real character, and hurriedly said: "Then since it can be repaired, I will try it." The old man took out Ao Shun's soul and beat it as before, and then put Ao Shun's soul back up. At this time, Ao Shun opened his eyes, and his eyes were also teary, and then he willingly gave the old man two thousand years of essence.
At this time, the old man looked at Xuan Lei and said, "It's your turn." And Xuan Lei hurriedly said: "I don't cultivate, and I don't have a essence to give you." The old man smiled and said, "Although you didn't say a word, the old man saw that you had a loyal heart to protect the Lord. If you don't cultivate, you have to repair, and today I will repair it for you for free. "After finishing speaking, he moved to Xuan Lei in an instant, took out his soul, and then it was a mess, and it was repaired after a while."
I looked at the situation and wanted to walk away. Who let this guy talk nonsense. At this time, the old man had already settled Xuan Lei's soul, Xuan Lei looked at the old man and bowed down, and said, "Thank you for helping me repair the missing part of my soul." At this time, the old man pulled his beard and said with a smile: "No need, come to think of it, the original Nine Heavens Xuannu also saved my husband's life." ”
We walked back to the Shark Palace, and none of them spoke all the way. It made me wonder what to do for a while. So I started by asking, "How do you feel when you've repaired your souls?" ”
Ao Shun first spoke: "I have scattered memories of my past life. Then he looked at me and said, "You are my Luo'er, and Zhu'er is our daughter." So I lowered my head in shame, thinking that I was just like Ao Run said at the beginning, and my body had been played with by Ao Run. How can I have the face to face Ao Shun in front of me who already knows the truth?
After a while, I looked at Ao Run and Xuan Lei and asked, "What about you?" Ao Run hurriedly said: "I don't feel so empty." That Xuan Lei also hurriedly said: "I have the whereabouts of my master, and she is still in this world." I hurriedly asked Xuan Lei again: "Then are you about to leave me?" That Xuan Lei hurriedly shook his head and fell silent.
So we walked in the direction of the Shark Palace, all the way. No one is talking to me. I think: now they also have their own goals, or maybe they remember some of the past. I'm the only one who is still at a loss now, and I have to be more careful in what I say and act in the future. Because I don't know when they will suddenly become my hostile and not necessarily.
