Chapter 4 It's better to gamble
"I beg you, you go quickly! You killed your father and mother, and you killed your uncle and aunt, and we old people want to live a few more years!" In front of an ignorant eight-year-old boy, an old couple kept begging him with tears in their eyes, and they wanted to kneel down for him when they saw the situation.
It was a harsh winter, the cold wind was cold, the snow was falling, and the white space between the sky and the earth was far less cold than the little boy's heart.
"Just let me freeze to death like this. The little boy thought as he curled up in the corner.
Not far away, a white-haired old man came with his beard brushed.
"Where's your family, little friend?" said the old man's kind voice.
The little boy didn't raise his head, and shouted coldly, "Go away! My family has all been killed by me, and you should stay away!"
The old man stroked his beard, pinched his fingers, and said with a smile, "You are indeed the fate of the lone star, and the fate of mortals can't bear you, so it's better to follow me into the world of cultivation." ”
The little boy raised his head and glanced at him, it was indeed a Dao bone fairy style, and he looked like a Dao master, but he still couldn't arouse his interest, snorted coldly, and said lightly, "Cultivation is nothing more than seeking longevity, there are so many troubles in the world, I just want to die without pain." ”
He shouted at the old man again, "Old man, don't bother me, just let me wait for death with peace of mind." ”
When the old man heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha, it's really interesting." Everyone in the world is good at life and evil death, but you doll is the complete opposite!"
He buried his body again and said meaningfully, "Life is like a gamble, no one will know what the result will be until the last moment, why don't we gamble, just bet that you will not kill me!"
The little boy flashed his bright eyes, staring deeply at the old man, as if looking up at the peak of the clouds, and the child's voice shouted, "My name is Pei Yiming!"
The old man's face was kind, he reached out and touched the little boy's head, and said happily, "Is it a blockbuster? My name is Innocent Immortal, and your Dao name will be Pei Zhenzhen in the future!"
"The damn bed is cold and hard, it reminds me of these things!" Pei Zhenzhen exclaimed with tears in the corners of his eyes.
sighed lightly, "Hey, master, you were finally killed by me, but don't worry, even if I fight hard, I won't lose my little life!"
Then he got up and went to the dark river and poured two mouthfuls of spiritual water, the cold river water with a trace of fishy smell, down the throat to the spleen and stomach, a burst of coldness spread all over the body, freezing him shivering.
He walked leisurely along the dark river idly, looking at the strange rocks and colorful halos all over the place, and only began to find it very interesting, but there was a scene everywhere, and he couldn't tell the difference between day and night, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, and slowly became bored.
He swayed, thinking in his heart, "I can't run away with this little cultivation, the stone tablet behind me has a headache, and the dog at the intersection in front of me also said that he can't go, and the dog's appearance is definitely not good." ”
Although he thought so in his heart, his footsteps still unconsciously walked towards Ah Gou's residence.
Pei Zhenzhen walked to the entrance of a cave, leaned against the stone wall, and cautiously looked inside, and an arrogant, strong and mighty man sat in the hole.
His face showed a few purple markings, and his long hair on his shawl stood up like wolf hair, exuding a suffocating coercion all around him.
Pei Zhenzhen was stunned, closed his eyes and quickly shook his head, and when he looked at it again, it was still the skinny dog sitting there.
A dog's familiar male voice came, "Boy, you're here, come in and sit." ”
Pei Zhenzhen immediately nodded and responded, "Hello dog!" and walked in.
Ah Gou snorted, raised his waist, and asked him, "What are you looking for me?"
Pei Zhenzhen was frightened by the man's fierce aura just now, and his heart was still hairy, thinking that he had discovered some ulterior secret of Ah Gou, so he stayed where he was and didn't know how to answer.
At this time, he thought to himself, "Take a gamble!" and make your position clear first. ”
After hesitating for a long time, a sentence popped out of his mouth, "Master Dog, when will we go down the mountain to collect protection money!"
"Why do you want to go down the mountain to collect protection money?" Ah Gou looked dazed, unable to guess what the boy was going to do.
"Aren't we people in the Demon Dao? If we don't do evil, we do evil everywhere, how can we make others afraid of us!" Pei Zhenzhen's expression was very serious, as if it was a matter of course.
Ah Gou stared at him with a wooden expression, and then laughed loudly, "You kid really looks at it more and more interesting!"
This will become Pei Zhenzhen with a puzzled face.
Ah Gou burst out laughing and explained to Pei Zhenzhen, "Our demon cultivators are not the same as demons, most of the people in the demon path in this world were condemned as evil demons and crooked paths when they were born, and some were just unscrupulous for the love and hate in their hearts, and they were characterized as evil people by righteous people. ”
He stood up again and continued, "For example, our Demon Lord, who was a disciple of the head of Kunlun and a young leader in the cultivation realm, was expelled from the sect because he fell in love with a banshee, and later fell into the Demon Dao forever. ”
After speaking, he added, "Of course, there are also broken jars, and they are simply broken to the end!"
Pei Zhenzhen listened to the words of the dog, which directly subverted his cognition for so many years, and also felt that the image of the dog in his heart was beautified a little.
A "grunting" sound came from his stomach.
Pei Zhenzhen looked embarrassed and said, "Master dog, my cultivation is shallow, and I haven't been able to do it without eating." ”
"Go out and catch some hares yourself. Ah Gou said casually, not worried that the boy was going to run away.
Bae Zhenzhen trotted out of the hole, and the warm sunlight and fresh air made him feel refreshed.
To run away or not to escape, of course, is a gamble.
An hour later, the smell of barbecue wafted through the cave.
In the next breath, Pei Zhenzhen had two more figures around him, one fat and one thin.
For example, the satisfaction of ascending to the immortal realm permeated the corners of the mouths of the three people, and from time to time there was the sound of sucking fingers, and the explosion of grease dripping on the carbon fire lingered in the ears, like the sound of heaven.
The cat scraped the oil off his face with his fingers, and then inhaled deeply into his mouth, and muttered in a simple voice, "Although eating doesn't make sense to us, it's really delicious......"
Ah Gou shouted excitedly, "Isn't this the so-called Great Perfection Realm! Boy, you must have been sent by Heaven to reward us for our hard work!"
Pei Zhenzhen also said with a happy face, "First marinate with salt, sprinkle wild onions and wild garlic, slowly roast the oil with a simmer, and finally eat it while roasting over a high fire, so that it can be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the entrance is fragrant and salty." ”
He asked proudly, "Master Cat, Master Dog is still satisfied, do you want to call the Demon Lord?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, no, no!" two different male voices came at the same time.
After a while, the hiccups came to mind in the cave, especially the cat, and each hiccup would make waves in his pile of meat.
Ah Gou also seemed to have gained a little weight at this time, and suddenly cried, and choked up to Pei Zhenzhen, "You don't know, our cultivation is hard, unlike the people in the Xianmen, who are at ease and admired everywhere, we are bored in this cave all day long and don't see the light of day, I sometimes wonder if the dedication to cultivation is worth it!"
Pei Zhenzhen stood up, hugged Ah Gou into her arms like a mother coaxing a child, but said with a wicked smile on his face, "Don't be sad about the dog, I have a treasure that can make the cat master, and the dog master is not bored on the road of cultivation!"
The two immediately looked at Pei Zhenzhen, and there was longing in their eyes.
Pei Zhenzhen put his hand in his arms and deliberately slowed down his movements, and the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became tense, as if he was about to take out a supreme earth-shattering magic weapon.
After groping for a while, he slowly stretched out his right hand, and slowly opened it again, and three dice appeared.
"Isn't this just dice, how can it help me practice?" Ah Gou looked puzzled.
At this time, Pei Zhenzhen cleared his throat vigorously, straightened his waist, and pretended to say to a cat and a dog, "This dice can guess the number of points, compare the size, make up pairs, six sides and twelve sides blackjack, the changes are endless, until the moment the market opens, no one knows what the result is, this is life, this is the way of heaven!"
Happy laughter continued to be heard from the devil's cave that night.
