Chapter 1: The Old House of the Dead
In the ancient city of Huizhou City, most of the shops in it are antique calligraphy and painting shops, No. 28 Hulu Lane, there is a shop, the name of the shop is the memory house. Memories of the house have been open for fifty or sixty years, and the owner of the shop has never changed.
There were very few things in the shop, a few irregular stones, a few old branches, and a few thin handwritten paper manuscripts.
There are few things, and the quality is still poor, but everything here is not cheap, less than tens of thousands of yuan, more than tens of millions, compared with hundreds or thousands of things in other shops, it is simply sky-high here.
Fifty-eight years have passed, and the owner of the shop has changed from a young man with clear eyebrows to an old man who is dying.
Antique shops are generally relatively deserted, only on holidays or events, the flow of people is more, so you see that those who sell antiques have no customers all day long, but don't underestimate it, just sell so many things every week, it's enough to be well-off.
Other shops have more or less customers during holidays, but the reminiscence house has been so deserted for decades.
Outsiders who don't know how to do it suspect that the antique shop business has no customers, and the neighbors of Hulu Lane wonder why the Memory House hasn't closed down yet.
The name of the memory house is very in line with the image of the boss, in the impression of the neighbors, this is a dead old house, few people have seen him out of the house, and even few people have seen him get up from the recliner, the most common thing that the neighbors see is that in winter, he will move the rattan chair to a sunny place and continue to sleep.
It's like a person born on a wicker chair, lying down for decades, and he never introduces anything from the store when customers come, and he still lies with his eyes closed when the customers leave, as if he doesn't know.
Someone asked the price, he didn't have to look at it, he said the price, the price often makes the guests feel incredible, the good-tempered weird looked at the old man and put down the rotten things and left, and the bad temper scolded in a low voice.
On a Monday in May, because there were very few customers in the morning, it was more than nine o'clock, and many shops were still not open, but the memory house was never closed, the boss lived in the shop, and the rattan chair was his bed.
Everyone knows that the owner of the memory house is a weirdo, and the neighbors ignore him.
No matter how strange the person is, he also has friends, an old man dressed in Tang costume and with a steady pace came to the Memory House, and the old man in Tang costume was the only frequent visitor to the Memory House.
"Master, someone who has already awakened his spiritual power has appeared. The old man in Tang costume respectfully said to the old man on the rattan chair: "And there is more than one." β
The old man on the rattan chair suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of light appeared in his cloudy eyes, and then he closed his eyes again and said, "Tell me!"
"In a village in Fujian Province, there was a fisherman who could control the water, a child in a school in Suzhou Province was angry and beat a classmate to death, and a girl in Shaanxi Province whose eyes could shine brightly, shocking the villageγγγ and these people with visions were quickly controlled. β
The old man in Tang costume said carefully, and then said with some hesitation: "Recently, I seem to be able to feel an energy in the air. β
"You can call that energy Reiki. The old man, who had been listening for a long time, finally spoke, and said slowly: "Hmm! It's the kind of aura written in the novel." β
The old man in Tang costume widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "But, the aura that can be cultivated?"
"Yes, there will be a lot of cultivators γγγ cultivators in the future. The old man on the rattan chair said.
"But, can you cultivate and become an immortal?" the old man in Tang costume stammered a little excitedly.
"It depends on how to define immortals, if it is immortality, then no, if it is immortal, if it is an immortal, theoretically it can, as long as there is enough talent and enough aura. β
"The earth has really changed miraculously. Although the old man in Tang costume had long understood the changes in the earth, when he knew that people could cultivate immortals, he was still excited.
"Yes, after waiting for so many years, the aura has finally recovered, is this a strange expression on the bearded face of the old man on the rattan chair.
The old man in Tang costume didn't know who the old man on the rattan chair was, but he knew that if someone could cultivate to become an immortal, then the person on the rattan chair must be the first immortal.
"The aura is still thin, but there is hope. The old man on the rattan chair suddenly grabbed a handful from the air, and the old man in Tang costume only felt that the air in the shop suddenly froze, and then saw the old man holding a mist-like thing in his hand.
Immediately, the old man in Tang costume watched the old man on the rattan chair suck the mist in his hand into his mouth, and his expression showed envy and awe.
After a long time, the old man slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the old man in Tang costume, he said with doubts: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"γγγγγγ" The old man in Tang costume looked confused, thinking: If you don't let me go, do I dare to go?
"Oh, I'll leave now, whatever the master commands, call me at any time. The old man in Tang costume said hurriedly, not daring to have the slightest complaint about the old man on the rattan chair.
"Hmm!" replied to the old man in the rattan chair with a nasal voice.
"Wait!" As soon as the old man in Tang costume walked out of the door of the store, he was stopped again and said, "The third book on the left on the shelf has been sent to you, the introduction to cultivation." β
"Thank you, master!" The old man in Tang costume was overjoyed when he heard this, and after bowing deeply to the old man on the rattan chair, he excitedly picked up the cultivation introductory book.
Because of the old man on the rattan chair, the old man in Tang costume was the first to understand the changes in heaven and earth, and understood the importance of cultivation entry, in this era when the aura has just recovered, with the cultivation introduction cheats, he will be many steps ahead of others, and he will inevitably be far ahead of other cultivators.
About half an hour after the old man in Tang costume left, the old man on the rattan chair slowly stood up and walked out of the store.
"What day did you stand up today? A fat boss in the neighborhood looked at the old man in the rattan chair in surprise and said.
"A day of fresh beginning. The old man said: "From today on, be a happy person, earn money and spend money to enjoy life." β
The fat boss pouted and said, "Lying in the chair all year round, you have been enjoying it." β
"No, you don't understand, I'm thinking. The old man on the rattan chair said: "From now on, facing the green mountains, work hard, and eventually spring will bloom." β
"Oh, I'll go, old man, you're half of the people in the ground, let's not make a fuss?" said the fat boss with a little sourness.
"Now young people, I'm so lazy, I'm so old and I still know how to work hard, I'm young but I don't want to make progress, sad, sad!" the old man in the rattan chair shook his head and sighed and left.
"Nima, you've been lying all your life, and you're dying before you think about working hard, what's the right to say I'm lazy?" The fat boss looked at the old man who left with his back hand, and scolded uncontrollably.
pS: There are some problems with the introduction, I can't change it for the time being, I can only change it in a few days, sweat γγγ
