Bai Changsheng really didn't "die", but it was almost there.

That day, I remembered something and didn't tell Zhang's mother, but I had already fallen asleep when the effect of the medicine came up.

The breath is getting heavier, the breath is gone, and the consciousness is getting more and more blurred...

But suddenly, I felt a flash of white light, and I found myself in a chaos.

Is this in a dream?

I know I'm dreaming, but I can't wake up yet. Bai Changsheng felt that this situation was very strange, so he wandered around in the chaos and wanted to figure it out.

But as soon as I lifted my feet, I felt that the sky was falling, and one scene after another followed, and it collapsed under my feet.

It was dark, and I saw many people flying back and forth in the sky.

There are Chen Mingshi, Wenyan and Wenwu brothers, and a bunch of people I don't know.

I've experienced too much weirdness these days, and I'm a little frightened now, and I don't feel too scared.

Anyway, I'm "dead" and I'm in a dream, what else can I do?

While looking around, Bai Changsheng looked at this situation and remembered a wilderness rumor in the early years, which was somewhat similar to this situation:

···

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man who lived alone in Nanyuan, lived a tight life, lived by the river, and fished for a living.

One day, when the old man came back from fishing, he saw such a person, holding a big gourd in his hand, standing at the door of the house and waiting for the old man.

You're welcome, seeing that the old man is back, the man comes in directly.

The old man asked him and said nothing, but he saw that the gourd in the man's hand was very large.

It can fit the size of a person, but it is held in the hand of the person as if it were being carried and played.

The old man asked who you were, and the man didn't speak, just laughed.

I think it's very strange, but looking at this person's kind face, he doesn't look like a bad person.

Outside, it was a wilderness, so he was left behind.

The man put the gourd at the door, pointed to the gourd, and waved his hand again and again.

That means you must not open the gourd.

It seemed that he was a mute, and the old man didn't care, so he stayed in his house with the man and the gourd, and after a few days, he was fine.

But the man just didn't speak, and got up every day to eat, eat, and sleep.

Occasionally helping the elderly deal with housework is also diligent.

The old man has no children, so he doesn't mind this person playing on him.

I really don't have much interest in that gourd.

Then one day, Nanyuan was flooded.

The old man's home was not far from the shore, and when the water came, it overflowed the embankment.

The old man was old, and he was reluctant to leave the old things at home, so he didn't leave.

Seeing that the river was rising day by day, it gradually overflowed the front house and backyard, becoming more and more critical.

The old man was also flustered, thinking that it was important to save his life.

Pulling the man was about to run, and the old man thought that he could not be left here to be drowned.

But the man did not leave, but pointed to the gourd and gestured to the water.

The old man didn't know what he meant, but the man seemed to be in a hurry.

He found a black cloth to cover the old man's face, and signaled him not to look or speak.

The old man was blindfolded, and he felt that there was a whining sound outside, which was very terrifying.

Thinking that a water ghost was coming, he quietly uncovered the black cloth on his face:

I saw a huge goldfish, shouting with its mouth open!

The old man was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a move, the goldfish was wearing human clothes, and he was the one who took him in!

It turned out to be fish essence.

The old man was a little frightened, and listened to the fish spirit open his mouth and spit out words:

"Water!"

Just listen to this one word, and then I see the river surging up:

All the water in the river was sucked into the mouth of the goldfish, and then the goldfish monster opened the gourd, cooed, and began to spit water.

The whole river was sucked in by the big goldfish! Spit into the gourd again!

The gourd seemed to be dissatisfied, and through the black cloth, the old man saw that there was chaos inside the gourd, and there were all kinds of demons and monsters.

When everything was said and the river dried up, the goldfish monster turned around and became human again.

Turning around to help the old man take off the black cloth, the goldfish monster saw the shock and horror on the old man's face, and knew that the old man had secretly watched.

Kneeling on the ground, the goldfish monster couldn't cry:

It turned out that it was here to repay the favor!

The old man didn't understand, but he learned the origin after listening to the goldfish monster's explanation:

When I was a child, I used to have a goldfish tank at home, and the adults accidentally broke it when they were cleaning, and the water was gone, and those goldfish died all over the place.

Only one was still alive, gasping for breath and struggling to survive.

The old man was very young at that time, and he couldn't bear it, so he picked up the goldfish, put it in a clay pot, and later released it into the river.

The goldfish just survived.

Before leaving, the goldfish glanced at the old man, seemed to be very grateful, and disappeared.

Later, the essence of the sun and the moon tempered his body, and the goldfish cultivated into essence, and he could be transformed into a human.

You can't speak more human language yet, if you don't finish your cultivation, you will leak the secret of heaven and be discovered by God.

But the goldfish monster has opened his mind, and he remembered that without the old man, he would not have himself, so he wanted to repay the favor. pinched his fingers and calculated, even if there would be such a big flood, all the old man's property would be buried.

The goldfish is a fine man, but he is very kind, so he came here to repay his kindness.

But the old man secretly saw this scene, even if it was a leak of heaven, plus the two of them had words, the goldfish would be punished by heaven.

I couldn't speak before, I just wanted to get through this catastrophe safely and send the elderly to the end.

But now that it is inevitable, the goldfish can't cry.

The old man asked again what the gourd was, and the goldfish said that when he was cultivating, the Qiankun gourd he stole from the Dragon King of the East China Sea could fit into a world.

It can also lock people, ghosts, gods and demons, and all things. As long as you go in, you will return to chaos and turn into the soul in the gourd and never come out.

And what can't be responded to, such as this flood, just need to shout what it is, and it will be sucked in.

Therefore, if someone holds a gourd and shouts their name, they must not agree!

After listening to this, the old man sighed with emotion and a little pity.

Hurriedly asked what to do with the goldfish essence, will it be taken away by God.

The goldfish spirit cried and nodded, and said: The dust is over, the kindness is difficult to repay, and I hope that you will cherish it.

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, hitting the heavenly spirit of the goldfish spirit.

After the thunder, a wisp of true soul of the goldfish spirit passed away with the wind.

The old man wept and was very sad. But he found that the gourd was not taken away, and he still stayed with himself.

Not daring to open it, the old man hid the gourd and lived alone again.

Fishing all day long, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, it is all right.

And when the people saw that the flood had subsided, they all came back to live here, and there were more people again.

One day, when the old man came home, he suddenly found a few children playing in his yard.

He didn't care, so he went with them, and after a while, he heard screams outside, and the old man thought something was wrong, so he hurried out to see.

I saw the gourd, I don't know when it was turned out by the child, and it was in the yard.

The mouth of the gourd has also been opened, and there is chaos inside, there are countless demons and monsters, and everything in the world is struggling in it.

The boy didn't know how important it was, so he asked the old man:

Grandpa, what is this?

"It's a gourd!"

Boom la la la!!

···

Bai Changsheng thought about it, didn't he seem to be in that gourd in his current situation?

After thinking about it, I smiled, I thought too much, and the folk rumors were innumerable, and if this was the case, it would be too miserable.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking nonsense, and the first thing to do now was to figure out the situation.

As he was pondering, he suddenly heard a terrible voice behind him:

"Bai Changsheng!"
