Text "Chapter 38: Soul Searching"
Outside a green wood hut, a swarthy man with an honest face paced back and forth left and right with an anxious face, looking nervously into the house from time to time.
The old woman's urging voice kept coming from the house: "Xu Wa's daughter-in-law, hard, hard, almost born, almost born, hard!", and the woman's painful moans, which continued for a while, and finally came a loud cry of a baby.
The man outside the house smiled with relief when he heard the baby's cry. Just as the man was about to rush into the house, suddenly the world swirled, and in the next moment, the man was already hanging on the top of the hill behind the house, and there was silence around him, as if time had stopped flowing.
The man stepped on the floating clouds, looking at the old man beside him with a frightened face. The old man was dressed in white, his hair and beard were all white, and he held a blue and black whisk in his hand, looking at the panicked man in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Old immortals, old immortals, old immortals, but old immortals?" The man looked at the void at the soles of his feet, his head was dizzy, his legs were weak, he didn't dare to kneel, he couldn't stand, he only dared to carefully bend his legs slightly to keep moving, and asked in a panic to the old man in front of him who looked like a fairy wind and bones.
The old man in white saw the man's fear, and with a wave of his hand, the two of them landed on the stubborn rock on the top of the mountain. The man was on the ground, without the fear just now, but still a little panicked, the man immediately knelt down for the old man in white, and the man thought that today he might have met the kind of flying old fairy in the mouth of the storyteller in the town.
When the man knelt down, he found that the old man in white was still hanging in the air, and his feet were about an inch off the ground, not touching a little mortal dust, which made the man believe that the old man was an old immortal.
The old man in white looked at the man kneeling in front of him and said slowly, "I called you here because I had an opportunity with your newborn son, so I have something to explain to you." ”
Hearing the old man in white say this, the man remembered that his mother-in-law had just given birth, and he hadn't seen it yet, but listening to the loud cry, it should be a handle. The man happily kowtowed to the old man in white and said, "Thank you to the old fairy for taking a fancy to my son, just say what the old fairy has to say." "The man is happy in his heart, his son is favored by the old gods, this is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.
"Actually, you don't need to do anything, you just need to name your son Xu Juesheng. The old man in white said.
As soon as the old man in white finished speaking, the man returned to the hut again, and the voice of the old man in white was still in his ears, "Don't tell anyone about this, this exercise and pill will be given to you." Remember that no one can say anything, including Xu Juesheng. After that, the man had something more in his head, and an extra black pill in his hand.
The man wanted to ask again, but there was no trace of the old man in white, and the old fairy had disappeared. Men want to come, old immortals, they should come and go without a trace like this.
The man happily walked into the house, it was really a son, and looking at the infant son, the man smiled very happily.
According to the explanation of the old man in white, the man named his son Xu Juesheng, although this name does not match the peasant child, but the man knows that this is the name given by the old fairy, and his son has a fairy fate, and the man didn't even give his son a nickname, and he has been called Xu Juesheng since he was a child.
The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night. In the blink of an eye, the baby was 10 years old. Xu Juesheng has not been strange since he was a child, like other peasant children, the old man in white has never appeared again.
The biggest change is Xu Juesheng's father, since he met the old man in white, the man has been extremely interested in this god and ghost thing, the man often goes to the town to listen to books, as long as he encounters something about the gods and ghosts, he will forget to listen to it. Men are not satisfied with listening to books, men begin to go to the stalls to buy some books of fairies, demons and ghosts for children to read, or some records of Zhiwei. But the man was illiterate, so the man began to learn words, and the man learned quickly, and it took more than a year to basically completely understand the books found on the stalls.
After reading a book, the man's understanding of the world has changed, and he has a new perspective on his own life.
Since taking the black and red pill, the man felt that his body had completely changed, and the man always felt that he was full of energy, full of qi and blood, and his physique was stronger.
As for the exercises that the old man left in his mind, he didn't need to understand it at all, as if it was imprinted in the man's brain, and the man just had to do it. After ten years of practice, he has achieved some success, but this honest man has never done it to anyone, and he has never told anyone what happened ten years ago, and the man still lives the life of a farmer hunter.
Until that day, it was a rainy day with thunder and thunder, and the man was hunting in the mountains and encountered rain, so he could only find a place to hide from the rain, and saw a cave, and the man entered it without thinking about it. After entering, the man realized that something was wrong, he had been hunting in the mountains all year round, and he had never seen a cave here.
The man stood at the entrance of the cave and was able to shelter from the rain, but looking at the dark cave in front of him, the man suddenly felt a kind of heat in his heart, he had seen in the book that someone broke into the ancient cave by chance to obtain the inheritance of immortals, and since then he has stepped into the immortal path. Prompted by this thought, the man took a step and began to walk towards the dark hole.
The cave grew narrower and narrower, and a hissing sound could be heard inside, and the man realized that this might not be the Immortal Cave Mansion. But curiosity still drove the man towards the cave, and the more he walked, the more he smelled a fishy smell, and the man resisted vomiting and still walked inside. As he walked, there was a faint red light in the dark cave, and the man got closer and closer, only to see two big red lantern-like eyes, and the snake hyacinth under his eyes made a huge hissing sound, and a disgusting fishy smell came out of his mouth.
What kind of cave is this, this is obviously a passage opened by the giant python in front of him with his body and venom. The man was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, but apparently the python found him, and the python's hara squirted at him, and he ran away after dodging, and his body was not enough to stuff his teeth.
There was a trembling sound of a giant python sliding behind him, and the man ran out of the hole, and the giant python also chased half of its body. Just when the man felt that he was in danger, there was a loud noise behind him, and the man ran for a distance before looking back, only to see that the huge body of the giant python had collapsed to the ground.
There was still scorched smoke in the middle of the python's body, and the large piece of flesh in the middle was gone, and it looked as if it was about to be cut off. In particular, there is a deep mouth as thick as a thigh in the lower part of the snake's head, and there is thunder during it.
The rain had stopped, and the man had been guarding from a distance, and after a long time, he saw that the wounds on the python's body were already full of mosquitoes and flies, and even some wild beasts were biting the snake's flesh and trampling on the snake's body.
The man waited until the evening to dare to approach, and when the man approached, the giant python looked at the man with a big eyelid drooping, and then his body continued to shrink until it shrank to more than ten inches, the size of his thumb, but the wounds in the middle of the snake's body and under the head were still there.
Looking at the little black snake that was paralyzed on the ground, the man hesitated for a while, and actually picked up the little snake carefully and put it on his arm. The man didn't know why he did this, and the man actually felt that he saw the pleading in the eyes of the python just now, and the man felt that this feeling was extremely strange. Although men make a living from hunting, their ancestors have passed down from generation to generation, and animals with high spirituality do not harm or harm.
The man wants to save this black snake.
Seeing this, Gu Changming said: "Their father and son have encountered such a similar thing. ”
"Yes, but that's too much of a coincidence, and the same thing doesn't necessarily end the same way. Lao Li also said.
The above things are all the images of Lao Li's soul search for the ghost cultivator.
