Chapter 44: Heaven remembers the past
It is a dense mountain forest, lush and vibrant, and the rustling of leaves and branches by the morning breeze is the pulse of nature, representing life and hope.
There were four people lying in a stone cave in this mountain forest, and a strange horse the size of a mouse was guarding the side, this strange horse was too young to be described as a horse, it should be one.
Anyone who passes by will be astonished by the sight of this strange horse standing upright, standing with only two hooves, and not only that, but now it carries the other two hooves behind him, and stands with his hands on his back like a man, pacing back and forth, and muttering words in his mouth.
"Can this kid do it, he shouldn't have an accident if his life is so hard. ”
Ma Chacha was a little anxious, frowning and pacing back and forth, Shen Hao was still a teenager after all, and the first time he acted alone to assassinate a treacherous villain who had entered the world deeply, it would always make him a little uneasy.
At this time, the agreed time is getting closer and closer, and Ma Chacha's heart is also beating drums, and he can only silently hope that Shen Hao will return.
Suddenly, the dense forest was alarmed, and a fierce aura was approaching, and Ma Chacha felt that it was Shen Hao who was back.
After a while, a figure appeared in the distance, very fast, from far to near, and a young man was coming, with a confident smile on his face.
"You did it. ”
Ma Chacha smiled, this kid did not disappoint him, and returned from his first solo action.
"Happy!"
At this time, Shen Hao had changed back into his original honest and honest appearance, and told Ma Chacha about the assassination to the east.
"Don't say it, although you look silly now, you look like a fool, but I didn't expect to have a little brain at the critical moment. Seeing that everything was under control, Ma Chacha changed his painting style and began to smooth his tone again.
Shen Hao, who was originally happy and full of confidence, immediately sank his face when he heard this, and thought, "Damn, who wants to be stupid, is this my original appearance?"
"Haven't the four of them woken up yet?" Shen Hao looked at the four people on the ground.
"No, the effect of this 'dream flower' seems to be stronger than I imagined, you see these four guys are like four dead pigs, sleeping so fragrantly, and they all have a comfortable and miserable expression, I really don't know what it means to dream without a trace before I see them, Ma Ye, I have been staring at the side with big eyes!"
"I think I'll wake up naturally in a while. It no longer bothered with the four of them, turned to Shen Hao, and said, "After they wake up, we will go on the road normally, and you will treat it as if nothing has happened and wait and see what happens." ”
Shen Hao nodded, then took out the small bottle he had taken from Xiang Dong from his arms, and said, "Show you something good." He opened the cap of the bottle, and suddenly a fragrance wafted out, and the small pill in the bottle exuded a faint golden light, which looked quite attractive.
Unexpectedly, Ma Chacha didn't react, but said with a disdainful face: "Where did you get these second-rate pills?"
"Second-rate?" Shen Hao was puzzled, he had witnessed the scene of Xiang Dong's serious injury and immediately recovered after taking it, how could he become a second-rate pill when he arrived at Ma Chacha.
"This so-called 'Xiao Huan Dan' is just a combination of several ordinary elixirs refined, at most it is effective for you and low-level monks like Xiang Dong, and it has almost no effect on those with supernatural powers, and higher-level monks can't even look at it, isn't it second-rate?"
Ma Chacha held his head high, he didn't care about this kind of thing, and said: "If this is a 'Great Returning Pill', it can still be a little useful, and if it is further turned into a 'Divine Returning Pill' that can play a role in the gods, then it may be worth my excitement." ”
Shen Hao's throat was dry, and the more he talked about it, the more outrageous it became, but he could also understand that for an ancient beast that was once above the gods, the low-level elixir of "Little Returning Pill" was indeed not worth mentioning.
So, he asked, "'God returned to Dan', did such a holy thing still exist in the world?"
Ma Chacha shook his head and said: "Naturally, there is no more, otherwise the old antiques in the Nine Kings City will not shrink in the city all day long and dare not be born, this kind of thing is very domineering, one can make the old god who is about to die reborn, and the god fruit level will be sublimated, and it can even play a big role in my realm back then!"
Then it sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity that all the 'Divine Return Pills' were exhausted in the Ancient War, otherwise any one that exists in the world is worth fighting for those old guys." ”
"Isn't there anyone trying to refine it anymore?" Shen Hao asked.
Ma Chacha's eyes widened, and he said: "You should be a dog skin plaster, say that there is, this kind of elixir needs heavenly treasures, spiritual roots and fairy branches are definitely not what you can imagine at this level, let me tell you this, even the 'Blood Grass that you used to regard as a treasure' is just a small auxiliary medicine in the refining process of the 'Divine Return Pill', and it is the kind that can be replaced by other elixirs at any time." ”
"But now that Kyushu is recovering, those immortal root elixirs that have long been extinct may grow again, and by that time, the rules of Kyushu Avenue will be nearly complete, the aura will recover, and it will return to antiquity, and the 'God Returning Pill' may reappear, but I don't know what the world will be like when it comes......
Sometimes the world is like this, you want to explore deeply, you want to get more, rise up in the competition, stand proudly at the peak of an era, but in the end you find that the more opportunities, the greater the competition, the more prosperous it is, the easier it is to attract greater disasters, shed more blood, when the prosperity is gone, the world withers, what will be left?
Sometimes, mortals are afraid of life, old age and hardship, and want to become a monk, see through life and death, and leap into immortality, thinking that that is to get rid of the suffering of the world, but they don't know that when you really get to that point, and then go into the secrets of the world, you will be even more afraid.
Ma Chacha couldn't help but think of what this heroic man had said when he followed Shen Hao's ancestor - Shen Fang, he said that his most memorable time was the dull time when he was a mortal, he felt that it was very real, and he didn't need to carry so much, but it was a pity that when he got to this point, the road ahead was dark, in order to protect Kyushu, he had no choice, he had to fight, to open up.
If one day, he can really clear those obstacles, and then look back, he hopes to return to the life of mortals, plain and real, rough and delicate......
But now, where are the people who say these things?
Thinking of this, Ma Chacha had tears in his eyes, and he recounted to Shen Hao the words of his ancestors, which also made him sigh.
However, after being silent for a while, Shen Hao still strengthened his belief, and said: "Maybe what my ancestors said is right, but I still have to rise up, I want to rise and bloom in this troubled world, the blood and tears of my relatives can never be erased from my memory, the past experience tells me that only by becoming stronger, can I open up my own pure land, in order to have my own peace, even if it is only for a moment, I still have to fight, a moment is eternal!"
Shen Hao's eyes were very solemn, he felt that his ancestors were also because of this, so they would still go on the road without hesitation and fight in front of them in such a difficult situation.
Ma Chacha solemnly looked at the young man in front of him, his heart fluctuated one after another, and finally he said softly: "May you one day catch up with the footsteps of your ancestors, replace them, and make a good fortune!"
In the end, they looked at each other and smiled, often reminiscing about their predecessors in this way, and it is a good thing to motivate themselves, but it still takes one step at a time to return to reality, and it is not a simple swear to rise in the troubled times.
At the same time, the four people on the ground finally showed signs of awakening.
