Chapter 12: The Immortal Fruit is Destroyed
Baili Mufeng saluted respectfully, and said with a smile: "Uncle Jinghai, have you been here for a long time, why don't you come up to help us......
"When I arrived at the lake, I saw that you had already subdued those water ghosts on the boat, and I wanted to go and see the excitement, but I just wanted to see how a few water ghosts were, so I waited here to observe. Elder Jinghai nodded and smiled.
"What do you think of the two of us just now?" Lin Yuwei asked busily, with an expectant look on her face.
"Mu Feng's cultivation is okay for kilometers, but the spirit is not concentrated enough when exercising the exercises, our Qingxuan Dao cultivation is the internal strength of the mind, and when fighting, we need to practice the internal skills of the daily practice for the movement of the exercises to fight against the enemy, so we must concentrate when we pay special attention to the exercises, otherwise the internal strength cultivation will be unstable, the real battle is not the same as practicing in the sect on weekdays, there are many unexpected emergencies, and few carelessness may fall short in an instant, victory and defeat often determine life and ......death."
Baili Mufeng hurriedly saluted and said: "What Uncle Shi said is, thank you for your teachings." ”
"You can practice a lot on weekdays and teach your meditation tips, which can improve your concentration. ”
"I remembered. Baili Mufeng gave another salute.
"Uncle Shi, if the master says the same thing, it will be annoying, but if you say it, it will be completely different. Lin Yuwei said with a smile.
"When the master is naturally stricter, otherwise how can I suppress you, and the master and I are different, don't think about the development of the sect, no responsibility and lightness, the teaching to you on weekdays, naturally it is good not to let you hate it, but you must be considerate of your master in the future, although that guy is serious and boring, but now the situation is different, everyone must work together to cultivate, and be ready to fight at any time......"
"I know, I know, it's the same old thing again, uncle, how did you say I behaved just now?"
"Yuwei, your performance just now has exceeded my expectations, you are not chaotic, calm and adaptable, and you have matured a lot from your qi......"
"It's rare to see my uncle praise me like this, I will definitely work harder to cultivate after I go back, so you will encourage me a lot in the future, so I will work harder, by the way, if you have the opportunity, you can say these words to his old man in front of my master......" Lin Yuwei became proud.
"It's a serious thing for you to hurry up and work hard to break through to the fourth layer, don't say that your master scolds you all day long, I will be strict with you in the future, your age is a good time for cultivation, you can't waste your energy on the affairs of children's affection, how many people are outstanding, but they waste ...... because of their feelings"
"Oh, Uncle Shi, you are really, how can you say these things, who has a long relationship with children all day long......" Lin Yuwei blushed.
Baili Mufeng knew that Elder Jinghai was talking about Lin Yuwei's liking of the fourth senior brother, and he was also a little bored and unwilling to listen, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, why did you come here, uncle, is there something important?"
"I went to Qingshan Town in the north in the morning, your second senior brother and they are selecting disciples there, I went to take a look, forty or fifty children only selected two, so boring, thinking that Yuwei would cook some good wine and food at night, I heard them say that the two of you muttered that you want to come to this Baishui Lake to collect water ghost beads, so I stopped by to see, you are really here......"
"It turned out that I wanted to make good food to come to us, hmph, that's to blame me for saying things like children's love. ”
Elder Jinghai suddenly noticed the village boy standing on the side as he spoke, Zhou Chu had been standing on one side with his head down and did not dare to speak, Lin Yuwei saw that Uncle Shi was staring at him, so he stepped forward and took Zhou Chu's hand and introduced: "Uncle Shi, this child is called Zhou Chu, he is a child from the village in the north, he was almost killed by a water ghost just now, and he happened to be rescued by the sixth senior brother......
"I rescued it with Senior Sister Yuwei. Baili Mufeng hurriedly added.
Elder Jinghai continued to stare at Zhou Chu intently, and muttered to himself inadvertently: "No......"
Lin Yuwei and Baimi Mufeng didn't understand what Uncle Shi meant for a while, and when they saw that there must be something strange in him with such a figure, they didn't ask anymore.
Elder Jinghai looked at Zhou Chu intently and raised his hand to signal him to come over, Lin Yuwei hurriedly pushed Zhou Chu in front of him, Zhou Chu was nervous and scared for a while, standing with his head down and not daring to look up, Elder Jinghai looked at it again, stretched out his hand to take off the coat on Zhou Chu's body that was covered with a hundred miles of Mufeng, his face changed suddenly, he stretched out his right hand to make a magic gesture, and then pushed his palm to Zhou Chu's chest, working lightly......
Zhou Chu only felt a hot current rushing into his body, making his heart pound wildly, and when he looked down again, the position of Elder Jinghai's palm and his chest lit up with white light from the inside to the outside like a lantern, and this white light was very turbid and disordered......
After a while, Elder Jinghai withdrew his hand, the expression on his face was very complicated, Lin Yuwei stepped forward to put Zhou Chu's coat back on, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle, the light on Zhou Chu's body is neither the black of mortals, nor the yellow of those who possess immortal fate, nor the orange-red of immortal cultivators, this is the first time I have seen such white......
Elder Jinghai didn't directly answer Lin Yuwei's question, and said with a serious expression: "Actually, it wasn't the two of you who saved this kid just now, but he saved himself. ”
"Did you save yourself?" Baili Mufeng looked confused.
When Zhou Chu heard this, he was first shocked and very confused, and looked at the three people in front of him with a shocked expression.
"This kid has fairy fruit in his body. ”
"Immortal Fruit ......" Baili Mufeng and Lin Yuwei let out an exclamation almost at the same time when they heard this word, and a shocked expression appeared on their faces......
Immortal fruit refers to a mortal who has a certain amount of cultivation in his body before he goes to the immortal mountain to cultivate immortals, some of them are left over from the fall of the strongest immortal in their previous life, and some of them have suffered some special encounter and reversed their mortal body, in short, it is more rare to have immortal fruit than to have immortal fate.
Compared to those immortal cultivators who only have the internal strength of cultivating the Fa after going to the Immortal Mountain and starting to cultivate, those who have immortal fruits are naturally stronger, have a higher starting point, and cultivate faster, and are the best among the most immortal cultivators. But it is very rare, among the hundreds of disciples in the Qingxuan Dao, only the Taoist leader Lin Qingxuan and the second senior brother Murong Tian have immortal fruits, which is rare.
"Yes, he saved himself just now, and you just happened to arrive, and you didn't know the inside story......"
"That's right, I've been wondering how it could be so coincidental just now, if Zhou Chu is just an ordinary mortal, so many water ghosts attack together, it can kill him in an instant, even if the two of us arrive in time, it is impossible to save it, when we arrived, Zhou Chu had already surfaced, those water ghosts were hovering in the water around him, and he was a little timid and didn't dare to step forward, and didn't attack, it seems that he should have been shocked by the immortal fruit in Zhou Chu's body......"
Elder Jinghai nodded.
Hearing these words, Zhou Chu only felt a burst of confusion, and suddenly recalled that when he was pulled by the water ghosts in the water, he saw the white light on his chest, which should be what they called the fairy fruit.
Lin Yuwei hugged Zhou Chu's shoulders tightly, and was about to jump up happily, and said busily: "Uncle Shi, I just wanted you to see if Zhou Chu had any immortal fate, and now it seems that he will definitely be picked up by Zhen to our door......"
After Lin Yuwei finished speaking, she didn't see a smile on Elder Jinghai's face, and she was a little puzzled and hesitant for a while, and sure enough, Elder Jinghai let out a long sigh and said very regretfully: " Despite this, but it is a pity that the immortal fruit in this child's body was also destroyed at the same time when he saved his life, and the immortal fruit in his body is not strong, so it can only save his life, but it's a pity, it's a pity, if this accident hadn't happened, and he could come to our sect to cultivate, this kid would definitely be a genius in the future, much stronger than both of you......"
"Do you mean that Zhou Chu couldn't receive our subordinates?" Lin Yuwei's voice trembled, and she turned to sadness.
"Yes, he is just an ordinary mortal now, if he can live his life in peace, what good is it to cultivate immortals......" Elder Jinghai's words were sincere, without feelings of sadness and joy.
When Zhou Chu heard this, he only felt that his hands and feet were weak and he almost fell to the ground, and an indescribable complex feeling poured into his heart.
The sun had set behind the mountains, and the mountains and forests in the distance had gradually dimmed, and the whole world had become gray.
"Don't be sad at the beginning of the week, everyone has their own destiny, since you are destined to be so, it is better to accept it calmly, although you don't have the fairy fruit, but the general little demon and little ghost in the world dare not easily approach you, you can live a peaceful life in the future, and you will understand in the future that this is not a good thing......"
Before the beginning of the week, he was ready to stay by his grandfather's side for the rest of his life, and the great sorrow and joy had already made him a little numb, so he didn't feel too much pain in his heart for the time being, and nodded solemnly.
"It's not too early now, why don't we send you back to the village together, and then solemnly tell the villagers that the water ghost has been subdued, and you can also settle the matter, so that everyone can rest assured that they can go to the lake to fish...... Elder Jinghai continued.
Lin Yuwei and Baili Mufeng nodded, and the four of them walked up to the village, and just after walking a few steps, they saw several people in the distance walking towards this side, shouting Zhou Chu's name as they walked, obviously looking for him.
Zhou Chu was in a trance at this time, his mind was blank, he heard the villagers shouting to find themselves and wanted to respond but there was no strength in his throat and he couldn't make any sound, Lin Yuwei responded to them loudly, and the villagers walked over quickly.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Uncle Wu Zi, Sun Yuandao, and six or seven villagers.
Sun Yuandao sent Ying'er home and went to the ancestral hall and disappeared Zhou Chu, thinking that he went home and went home alone, just now at dinner time I wanted to call him to eat together, but I didn't see him at home, so I called Uncle Wu Zi to look around together.
Everyone was very surprised to see Elder Jinghai and the three of them, just like when they first saw them at the beginning of the week, they understood that they were not extraordinary, and hurriedly bowed to worship, Baili Mufeng stepped forward to help everyone up, and explained: "We are about to go to the village, it is better for you to come, the water ghosts in this lake have been subdued by us, and you can rest assured that you will go to the lake to fish in the future......"
Everyone thanked them again and again, Elder Jinghai didn't say much, turned around and prepared to leave, Lin Yuwei knew that she was going to separate from Zhou Chu, she couldn't help but be very sad, and pushed Zhou Chu to the villagers and instructed: "Zhou Chu was injured when he helped just now, you take care of him when you go back." ”
Uncle Wu Zi stepped forward and pulled Zhou Chu back to his side and nodded in agreement, and then took off his coat, Zhou Chu took off the coat he put on his body and gave it to Baili Mufeng, the smell of parting was stronger, Lin Yuwei's voice trembled a little, stepped forward and patted Zhou Chu's shoulder again, and said with a smile: "I've been in the town for the past two days, if you have time, come to the inn in the town to find me, I'll take you to buy delicious food, don't forget." ”
"What Senior Sister Yuwei said is exactly, we will not forget you in the future, and we will come to see you when we have the chance, smile, don't be unhappy. Baili Mufeng wanted to make Lin Yuwei happier, but Lin Yuwei didn't appreciate it, and felt bored.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, Zhou Chuchu was very reluctant, thinking that he might never see each other again in the future, and he didn't want the two of them to see him crying, so he had to endure it, and he had a lot of things to say in his heart but couldn't say it.
Elder Jinghai coughed and signaled that it was time to go, Lin Yuwei and Baili Mufeng had to turn around and follow him, and the three of them disappeared into the mountains and forests without a trace.
When the three of them disappeared, Zhou Chu looked up and asked Uncle Wu Zi, "How is my grandfather?"
Uncle Wu Zi didn't answer directly, but changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's talk about it when we go back." ”
Hearing Uncle Wu say this, Zhou Chuxin had the answer in his heart, his mouth was hot, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Uncle Wu Zi picked up Zhou Chu on his back, and everyone began to walk back.
Zhou Chu felt very warm lying on Uncle Wuzi's generous back, and finally couldn't help tears welling up.
