Chapter 4 Redeem the throne and return to the spirit
Somewhere in the universe.
In the depths of the universe, where there is no one and no one, there is a planet full of life, quietly suspended in the void.
The color of azure is completely different from the dead gray planet around it.
Jianguo Town.
A quaint and dilapidated town.
Collapsed houses, dilapidated wells, and facilities that have fallen into disrepair are everywhere.
Most of the people living in this town are old and disabled.
Because it is an ancestral land, the old people who have lived all their lives are reluctant to move out of here.
It is rare to see young and vigorous young people, even children, in the town.
It's just that people with a little ability have already dragged their families away from this remote place.
Or go out and wander, maybe make a home outside, or...
This also makes the already dilapidated town, like an old man in his twilight years, the sun sets, and it lacks vitality...
Of course, there are also a very small number of young people who are not ambitious and unwilling to leave their homes, and barely survive by guarding a few acres of thin fields and some livelihoods alone.
Xu Buqi is one of them.
There was no one else in his home, and he was the only one left.
Xu Buqi, who is only thirteen years old, looks thin and weak due to long-term malnutrition, with sallow skin and no luster, and is much shorter than his peers.
But this difficult living environment did not crush the weak and tenacious teenager.
With his own efforts, plus his usual reliance on chores, and the occasional hunting with the young people in the town, the days can be dealt with.
On this day, after a busy day's work, the young man returned home exhausted, and his eyes were also full of tiredness.
But he still forced himself to cheer up, and went to the water tank to get half a scoop of water.
Half is poured into the mouth, and the other half is used to wash the face.
After being stimulated by cold water, the tiredness that was suppressed was temporarily suppressed.
After putting the water scoop back in its place, Xu Buqi came to the only wooden table in the house, and even the oil lamp, which he had been reluctant to use on weekdays, was rarely lit by him.
As the interior of the house gradually brightens, everything in the house is imprinted.
The furnishings in the home are extremely simple, only a table, a stool, a bed, a water tank, and nothing else.
The table was worn out, but it was wiped clean.
A stool, not so much a stool, is more appropriate than a tree root, and it can be regarded as barely usable.
The water tank was broken last year, and Xu Buqi saw that it could still hold a small half tank of water, so he happily dragged it back home.
Although the capacity is not large, it is not without a container for water, and he is content.
Under the reflection of the oil lamp, the young man was staring at the wick in the oil lamp in a daze with a mouthful of big white teeth, not knowing what he was thinking?
Half an hour later.
Xu Buqi came back to his senses and looked at the oil lamp again, with a little nostalgia in his eyes.
Xu Buqi first closed the door, then took two wooden sticks from the side, and clapped his hands with satisfaction after putting them on.
Then he crept to the head of the bed, listened to the movement around him, and then climbed up.
After some skillful groping, Xu Buqi took out a palm-sized burlap bag from somewhere in the corner of the bed.
Grabbing the five fingers in his hand and pinching it vigorously, a slight metal collision sound came out of the cloth bag.
Hearing this sound, Xu Buqi grinned and smirked.
Before taking the cloth bag to the oil lamp, his face showed a look of wealth obsession.
When you open the cloth bag, you can see the worn-out copper plates, lying quietly in the cloth bag.
He skillfully poured the copper plate on the table and counted it carefully.
As if remembering something, Xu Buqi took it out of his body, and then the two "new members" were pinched in his hands, and after being looked at twice under the oil lamp, they were put into the cloth bag together with the copper plate on the table.
"It's coming, it's coming".
"It's finally coming!"
After Xu Buqi blew out the oil lamp, he groped his way to the bed and skillfully stuffed the cloth bag into the head of the bed.
After adjusting his posture, his eyes revealed longing.
This is the secret that belongs to him alone, rebirth!
No one knew that inside this young skin, there would be a soul in his thirties!
Otherworldly souls!
It's been three years since he came here...
After an initial period of adjustment, Xu Buqi has fully adapted to this life.
And also set a goal for himself.
Step into the threshold of cultivation
That's right, it's practice.
That's not a legend!
Rather, it really exists in this world!
A long time ago, when he heard the story of the monk.
In my heart, I have already begun to have a plan.
Since then, Xu Buqi has been secretly saving money, and sometimes he would rather go hungry, but he only goes in and out, just like Pixiu.
Until today, it has been saved for three whole years!
Aside from the unavoidable expenses of daily life, he hasn't replaced anything for three whole years...
Including the clothes on the body.
There were two sets of clothes, one of which was removed and the other was dried in front of the house.
The two sets of clothes are worn in rotation, and if they are broken, they are sewn and mended, and the rotation is not very diligent, but it is enough.
Because of this, he was often teased by people in the town, saying that at a young age, he knew that he had to save money to marry a daughter-in-law.
For this, Xu Buqi was never annoyed, and he didn't explain anything too much.
"At most, half a month, when the ancestral house is sold, the money should be enough."
With a beautiful expectation for tomorrow, Xu Buqi could no longer control the tiredness and sleepiness from his body, and fell asleep heavily.
Outside the house, there were already stars, and the moonlight was reflected in the town, which in addition to being dilapidated, it also added a bit of weirdness.
Above the sky, a meteor with a long tail flashed from the distant sky to the night sky above the town, and the trajectory of the meteor changed slightly.
In the end, the direction is this dilapidated town.
The light flashed and rushed towards a certain part of the town.
Because the people in the town had already fallen asleep by this time, no one paid attention to this subtle scene in the night sky.
Twins!
Xu Buqi, who was sleeping, suddenly shouted loudly in his mouth, and his closed eyes also opened at this moment!
There is endless killing intent and regret in his eyes...
It's just that this kind of expression only exists for a moment.
After his expression converged, Xu Buqi's eyes gradually became confused, and he muttered two words repeatedly.
"Twins?"
It turned out to be just a dream...
Xu Buqi was already wet with cold sweat, sitting on the bed and patting his head gently, trying to recall something?
But no matter how hard he tries, the scenes in his dreams are like ice and snow melting, and there are no bits and pieces...
The only thing he could feel was the pressure.
The terrifying pressure of the mountains almost crushed him!
But, he didn't understand why he felt this way.
Where does the stress come from?
None of the impressions...
The only thing I remember is the two names that I don't know what to do.
"Twins".
Just those two words, and that's it...
Xu Buqi muttered several times in his mouth, but still had no clue.
In the end, I simply didn't think about it.
The awakening in the dream also drove away the last trace of sleepiness from him.
Xu Buqi propped himself up and leaned his head against the wall.
The boredom in my heart seems to be stimulated by the slightly cool wall, which is better.
The stars shifted, and a cluster of moonlight slowly moved from the foot of the bed.
In the end, it shone on Xu Buqi's tired little face.
Stretch out your little hand in front of your face and slowly turn it in the moonlight.
The immature palm that should have belonged to this age has long been covered with cracked wounds.
Some have healed, while most have just scabbed.
What's more, tiny beads of blood are oozing out intermittently, and the junction between the palm and the four fingers is covered with a thick layer of calluses.
Xu Buqi carefully looked at his palm, the corners of his mouth pulled up a self-deprecating arc, and his eyes were calm.
At one point, he was startled, and the calm in his eyes was covered with shock.
Again, uncertainly, looking at his palm.
Finally, the problem was discovered!
Moonlight?
Why is there such a bright moonshine?
Xu Buqi followed the trajectory of the moonlight and hurriedly looked up, but saw that the roof didn't know when, there was already a regular opening.
The moonlight shone in through the hole
"Thief!".
Xu Buqi's first reaction was that there was a thief in the house!
With the illumination of the moonlight, he hurriedly churned nervously at the head of the bed.
When the familiar mass appeared in his hand, he exhaled deeply, and his hanging heart was also released at this moment.
Thankfully, the most important thing was not lost!
As long as he didn't lose the money he had worked hard to accumulate for three years, even if the entire house was emptied, it wouldn't affect him at all.
Tightly grasping the cloth bag, Xu Buqi tiptoed out of bed and carefully looked at everything in the house.
The door is intact, there are no signs of movement, the few facilities in the house are there, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
The only thing that puzzled Xu Buqi was the strange hole that appeared on the roof.
The incision is flat and presents a regular triangular shape.
Seeing this shape, Xu Buqi thought about it, and couldn't help but think of something in his heart.
Cutter!
However, even if it is a cutting machine, it is impossible to have no movement at all
What's more, this is not the earth he is familiar with.
Redeem the position, return to the spirit
Just when Xu Buqi was full of thoughts, an ethereal word came from inside his body.
It's just that, as a party, I don't have any awareness...
