Chapter 406: Ghost Boy

These three people seem to be respectable, very, very charitable, and easy to talk to.

Besides, Xiao Hai said the same.

Chen Shuisheng relaxed, anyway, he guessed casually, looking at the appearance and temperament of the three people, and then estimated according to the lifespan of normal people: "A hundred years old, right?" ”

"Only a hundred years old? Hehe......" the old man waved his hand lightly, "guess again, you might as well be bold." ”

Is 100 years old too little? Looks pretty much the same!

That's right! Master, his old man is a holy master, and he has survived for many, many years, so these three people can't be the apprentices he accepted a long, long time ago, right?

However, if this is the case, how can they behave like ordinary people when they speak? It seems that he still has to listen to Xiaohai's orders.

There's a problem here, could they be testing me for something?

Chen Shuisheng scratched his head and pondered a lot in his heart, but after pondering for a while, Chen Shuisheng thought again, no matter how much he cares, he won't die if he guesses directly, "Two hundred years old?" ”

"Forget it, old man, I don't think he can guess, don't be embarrassed for him." The old fairy smiled.

The old ghost said to Chen Shuisheng, "We've already given you a lot of hints, can't you guess?" ”

"Guess again, one last time." The old man urged a few sentences in a hurry.

Chen Shuisheng was a little speechless, is this thing interesting?

Seeing the persistent appearance of the three people, as if they couldn't say it if they didn't cooperate, Chen Shuisheng looked at everyone carefully, the three old people had been sitting, they were sitting on three old-looking Taishi chairs, and the robes they were wearing blocked their lower body legs and feet, and they walked around the three people with a punch, Chen Shuisheng looked at the skin of the three again, wrinkled, and like old bark.

"The three of them are about 800 years old."

Chen Shuisheng suddenly reported an astonishing number.

The three of them were stunned, and the old man hurriedly said, "Tell me, how did you come up with this number?" ”

Did I guess right? Chen Shuisheng smiled faintly, "I guessed it casually." ”

Hearing this, the old immortal smiled and said: "This is indeed too embarrassing for him, but his premonition is really good, we are staying with the golden bodies left by the immortals, they are indeed about eight hundred years old, but our actual age is only more than three hundred years old." ”

“……”

Chen Shuisheng was really speechless, what does this Nima have to do with anything?

"Hey! There are so many of our stories, and they are too long, Aquatic, would you like to hear them? Perhaps, these stories can help you with the monasticism or something. The old ghost looked at Chen Shuisheng with a smile.

Anyway, there is nothing to do now, Chen Shuisheng nodded, "Of course I do, the experience of the three senior brothers, I believe it will be very, very incredible." ”

"That, I admit, is incredible." The old man hurriedly interjected, "Well, let me talk about it first." ”

"Hehe, third child, you're here again." The old ghost grinned and shook his head.

The old immortal waved his hand lightly and said, "Let him go, let's close our eyes and concentrate on it, and observe the movements of the fairy world and the underworld first." ”

The old immortal and the old ghost closed their eyes one after another, and the aura on the two of them changed rapidly, turning into two dark brown skeletons in an instant!

Chen Shuisheng was taken aback, couldn't help but get up, and looked dumbfounded.

The old man laughed and said: "Shuisheng, sit down, leave them alone, they have listened to my story many times, and their ears have to hear calluses, hehe......"

The old man smiled easily.

Chen Shuisheng could see that this was a kind of laugh from the bottom of his heart without the slightest pressure.

But Chen Shuisheng was very curious, why did the three of them have to tell stories to themselves, and could there be any special reason here?

It seems that you have to listen to the story before you can get an answer to this question.

Anyway, everything is under Xiaohai's control, and it is also a pleasant thing to calm down and listen to the story.

"It's a bit of a long story, I have to start when I wasn't born......"

The old man smiled, stared at the stone wall in front of him, and as if he was not looking at the stone wall, he spoke in a gentle tone and spoke slowly.

Eight hundred years ago, a strange thing happened in a small mountain village during the Southern Song Dynasty.

This is a very, very ordinary mountain village, and there are only about 20 families in the village, and everyone lives a plain life of sunrise and sunset. But that night, thunder and lightning, storms and rains, and a terrible cry came from the mountain, which was not the cry of an ordinary animal, nor the howl of a wolf, but the people who heard it said that it was the cry of a demon.

The next day, the people in the village came to find the old village chief, the old village chief is an old hunter, he has been in the mountains all his life, he knows that there is no such beast in the mountains, he predicted that this is a goblin to make a monster, there may be something big happening, so he didn't let anyone Jinshan, took two people, carried food or something on his back and rushed to Qingfeng Temple fifty miles away, invited a Zhenyuan Dao chief, and returned to the village overnight.

Zhenyuan Dao Chang is a very, very famous Dao Chief, the Tao is unfathomable, famous far and near, and is a living immortal within a radius of 100 miles. After listening to the village chief's narration, the head of Zhenyuan pinched his fingers and asked the village chief to bring back all the gifts, promising to help eliminate demons and suppress evil spirits for free, and he looked very happy.

When the mayor of Zhenyuan Dao entered the village, he directly asked if there was a woman in the village who had just given birth.

The old village chief hurriedly shook his head, there was no one in the village who had children.

The head of the Zhenyuan Daoist smiled and said okay, this matter is on him, let the old village chief leave it alone.

Immediately, the head of Zhenyuan entered the mountain.

The old village chief was very puzzled, and he couldn't understand what the mayor of Zhenyuan meant, so he went from house to house early the next morning to see if there were any relatives from anyone's house, and there may be pregnant women among the relatives, and there are only about 20 households in the village, which is very easy to visit, but there are no pregnant women, not even the pregnant daughter-in-law.

After going back, the old village chief put this matter down and did what he had to do.

Who knows, when it was almost dark, the chief of Zhenyuan came back from the mountain with a baby!

When the mayor of Zhenyuan came to the old village chief's house, the old village chief and his wife surrounded him and asked curiously where the child came from.

The chief of Zhenyuan said that this child is not an ordinary person, if the villagers can adopt him well, there will be blessings, and if the villagers bully him, then there will be bad luck. In other words, this child can bring both blessings and disasters.

Such a child, the head of Zhenyuan asked the village chief if he wanted to adopt him?

The old village chief has never had a child, so he naturally wants to adopt a child, and with the words of the head of Zhenyuan, he has no worries. When the mayor of Zhenyuan was leaving, he told the village chief that the child was difficult to take care of, and he would cry endlessly at night, and when he cried, he would be fed glutinous rice porridge, so that he would not cry, and he must not be fed meat food, let alone bloody food, if he was fed meat food, it would be a great disaster, and the whole village would die. Another point is that the child must change households every day, and the twenty-nine families in the village live in rotation, and there are one or two days left in the month, and the head of Zhenyuan will come and take the child to live in the Taoist temple.

As long as the child is raised until he is three years old, after the age of three, the child can protect the people in the village, so that the people in the village can live a good life without illness and disaster.

These words came from the mouth of the Taoist chief of Zhenyuan, and they are naturally true words for the villagers who believe in Taoist culture.

The old village chief gathered the villagers overnight to discuss the matter of taking care of the children.

The old village chief also deliberately said that the child was a fairy descending child.

The people in the village were simple-minded, regarded the children as gods and Buddhas, and took care of them carefully, completely ignoring the terrifying sound of the ghost crying and wolf howling that night.

Day after day, year after year.

Under the careful care of the villagers, the child grew up very quickly, and the three-year-old child was taller than the ten-year-old child.

It's just that this child can't speak all the time.

But he was quick-witted, bright-eyed, quicker than a monkey when he climbed a tree, faster than a cheetah, and had great strength, a three-year-old man, ten years old, but thirty-year-old man's strength.

Moreover, in the night the child was gone, and no one knew where he had gone.

But the next morning, there would be hares and boars in front of every house.

It is not surprising that the people in the village have seen a lot, knowing that the child is not an ordinary person, and everyone is good to him.

Sometimes every family gets a wild boar, and when the villagers can't eat all of it, they take it to the town and sell it, and sell it to buy glutinous rice, which they bring back to make porridge for their children.

For three years, the child drank porridge and did not eat anything else.

Just after everyone had adapted to this life, immersed in happiness and joy, and after another six months, the child changed, and every night he would let out a strange cry like a wolf howl, which frightened the people of the village, and then the strange cry of that night three years ago sounded.

So, at the request of the old village chief, the head of Zhenyuan took the child away.

The head of Zhenyuan named the child Ghost Boy and taught him to speak, the principles of being a human being, and some Taoist skills.

The ghost boy is very active, not easy to learn, and he has to jump up and down like a monkey all day long, making the Taoist temple a mess, which is not decent.

In order to train the ghost boy well, the head of Zhenyuan tied him up, did not give him food, forced him to read and write, and only after learning a certain amount of knowledge according to the regulations can he give him food. After some strict training by the head of Zhenyuan Dao, the ghost boy was gradually tamed, and he gradually began to like to read, and became obsessed with reading.

Ten years have passed in a flash, and the ghost boy has read all the books that the Zhenyuan Daoist can get, learned all the Taoist techniques taught by the Zhenyuan Daoist, changed his stubborn nature, and turned into a handsome young man with a dignified appearance. The head of Zhenyuan Road is gradually getting old, because of the inconvenience of hands and feet, but whenever there are any demons and monsters in ten miles and eight towns, they all assign the ghost boy to do, the ghost boy lives up to expectations, invincible, invincible, and the reputation of the ghost boy is great for a while, and everyone knows it.

This day is the sixteenth birthday of the ghost boy.

Daoist Zhenyuan called the ghost boy to his side and told him about the ghost boy's life experience.
