Chapter 4: Old Dreams of the Empty City

There are two most important people who have influenced my life, my mother before the age of five, and my mother after the age of five...... It's my master!

When I was five years old, I asked my master what spiritual practice was.

The master said that cultivation is to eat.

It dawned on me that cultivation was eating, and the so-called cultivation of the Nine Realms was just how much I ate.

When the master heard this, his expression became more and more indifferent: "Should the meal eaten by a group of ants be divided into three, six, nine, and so on? Since it is a meal, of course it is necessary to eat the best meal.

That day, the master told me that there are three kinds of delicious rice in the world.

Yourself, heaven and earth, sentient beings!

Later, he chose a path for me.

He told me that I can only go on this road forever, and I can't turn back, and if one day I regret it, then, between him and me, there is only one person who can live among all beings in heaven and earth.

Years later, the master had eaten enough of the "sentient beings", and I found "myself". From then on, the master is no longer the master, I ...... It's not me anymore......

......

......

"This time, if I don't die, ten years later, I will return to the sea of suffering and compete with you!"

"Boom!"

......

......

"Ahh

Waking up from the nightmare, Chu Xuan was sweating profusely!

His eyes widened, like copper bells, and the light beating between his eyes was cold and terrifying!

Taking a few big breaths, he reached out and wiped it on his face.

Bean-sized beads of sweat still keep falling.

He suddenly felt very hot, hot all over, as if something was about to burn out of his heart.

Got up from the ground, walked out of the study, searched back and forth in the yard, and finally found a well next to the firewood room in the front yard. When the cold well water fell from his head, he was soaking wet, and finally felt a little cooler on his body.

But the effect doesn't seem to be much, and after a few breaths, the body is just as hot.

With a light exhale, he took off his wet shirt and threw it aside, revealing his naked upper body.

Bronzed skin, well-proportioned and powerful, with metallic notes and shine.

This kind of body has to do with his way of practice.

But......

Touching the shoulder blades on both sides of his shoulder, he looked stunned.

The wound there had already congealed, and the scars had fallen like powder.

frowned, somewhat unexpectedly.

Healed?

But......

How could the shoulder blade that had been pierced by that man's own hand heal so easily?

He was locked by the divine chain cast by the feathered blue gold, suppressed in the Eye of the North Sea for nearly a year, the cold air of Xuan Bing had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, although he was lucky to get out later, but the Dao had dried up, and the golden body was broken, otherwise with his previous temperament, why should his mother's things rely on persecution by this means, he would have already broken into the door and robbed it.

But at this time, not only did the external injury heal, but the divine spring in the body recovered, and it seemed that even the golden body had recovered a few points.

His dark eyes blinked, and he suddenly thought of his mother's essay. Mother mentions something called "delayed nucleus".

"If there is enough energy to build an energy bridge, then the "delayed nucleus" will definitely have an imaginary effect, and one day, the destruction of the world will no longer be a myth and legend!"

Uh, Xuan Bing cold qi is a type of energy, right?

In the eyes of Beihai, a large amount of Xuanbing cold qi has accumulated in his body, which has long been difficult to suppress, last night, the Xuanbing cold qi in his body erupted in vain, and the injury seems to have been out of control for a long time, but at this moment, he doesn't seem to have too much discomfort, but his state is a little better, could it be that it and the "delayed core" have built the energy bridge that his mother said?

I didn't realize it before, but now that I feel it quietly, it seems that there is really something in my body.

It was as if a sun with a constant burst of flames existed in the body.

Could it be the "delayed nucleus" mentioned by the mother?

There was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

From the beginning of his practice, he knew that he was different, but he never thought that this difference would have something to do with his mother.

......

......

In the dead of night, something called loneliness quietly penetrates into the heart.

Chu Xuan looked at the half-round bright moon in the sky, and slowly walked to the courtyard behind.

During the day, I haven't looked at it, but now I find that in fact, this house is not small, in addition to the shop in front, there are three small courtyards in the back, each courtyard has a main house, a wing room and a rain corridor, which seems quiet and deep.

It's hard to imagine that my mother would have such an empty mansion in Baiyun City back then, presumably at that time, she must have been very lonely.

As for the mother's death......

Chu Xuan closed his eyes slightly.

Therefore, negative emotions should be hidden deep in the heart, and no one can touch them. Only in this way, when you strayed into a lost world, can you clearly see the direction you want to see.

With his heart calming down, Chu Xuan looked out of the wall.

More than a dozen breaths wandered in the shadows, like reptiles in the dark, hidden and disgusting.

After thinking about it, he squinted and shook his head.

Those who like to dance on the tip of a knife are not only madmen, but also adventurers who are lucky.

If you want to take risks, you naturally need courage.

I just don't know how many of them will be able to muster up the courage to climb over the wall tonight.

Although he reluctantly forced Chu to bow his head during the day, this persecution was based on the premise of whether he could maintain enough shock power.

In the eyes of many people, he is just an "ordinary person", even if he has a seemingly terrifying "big killing weapon" in his hands, but in essence he is still an "ordinary person" who is "weak and weak".

As soon as he thought of this, a cry of terror pierced the night.

He froze, then smiled and strode out into the backyard.

There are still people who can't hold back, but the first to come out is not a powerful character.

Sanjin Courtyard has a good allegory, which means "three in and three out".

The problem arises in the last courtyard, because it has been empty for many years, it is inevitable that it will be a little eerie.

Pushing open the courtyard door, raising his legs and stepping in, a biting cold wind blew, the fallen leaves fluttered, and the rustling sound of friction looked a little weird.

Chu Xuan's gaze fell on a willow tree in the courtyard, and there were people on the willow tree, more than one person.

It's just that these people don't seem to want to be in the trees, perhaps because their posture is very unsightly and uncomfortable.

It seems very easy to associate one word - suicide!

Three men, dressed in black, with red faces tied up like rice dumplings by the branches of the willow tree, each with green tendons, rolled their eyes, and hung alive from the trunk of the tree as the branches continued to tighten.

It's miserable!

Chu Xuan was amazed, he looked at this willow tree with great interest, oh no, it should be said that it was a tree demon!

A demon with at least 500 years of Taoism.

This kind of strange creature is probably still rare, and to conceive this creature, it requires the creation of heaven and earth, and the conditions are extremely harsh.

However, it should not be found in a human city, especially in the backyard where her mother once lived, and not a single demon should appear.

However, the demon behaved strangely, not only did not attack him, but instead curled up the branches and wrapped itself in the shape of a cactus.

"Uh......" Chu Xuan smiled and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Don't, don't come here!"

It's a crisp sound, a little shivering.

Chu Xuan was sure that this demon seemed to be very afraid of himself, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth and stepped forward step by step.

"Why are you afraid of me?"

"Don't come here...... No!...... Ah......h

The demon's writhing torso, teeth and claws, set off a powerful storm.

The wind was howling and the sky was full of smoke and dust.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

There was the sound of his body falling to the ground, and Chu Xuan grew his mouth and froze in place.

What did he see?

A demon, a demon with five hundred years of Taoism, actually threw down the "prey", raised two claw-like rhizomes, and smashed the south wall, and that's it...... Just run away!

Belch!

Well, there may be cowardice in the demon, but this demon seems to be even more timid.

......

......

In the firewood room, three "prey" who were tied hand and foot have been woken up.

Chu Xuan looked at the things he had found on them, and while brewing emotions, he was preparing to torture them to extract confessions.

The first big man to wake up shook his head, then glanced around at the firewood room, and finally, his eyes fell on Chu Xuan, who was facing away from them.."What kind of demon technique did you use to make us fall for the yin trick unknowingly?"

It turned out to be together.

Chu Xuan took out a short knife from the stove with an expressionless face, it was well-made and very sharp.

"This knife is yours?" he asked.

"Hehe!" the big man sneered.."Boy, that's not how you hold the knife, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the sword light wrinkled.

A huge head flew out of the air, blood gushing out, staining the green bricks all over the ground.

The other two's eyes widened, and they let out an "ah" in fright at the sudden situation.

Chu Xuan put away the knife and put his index finger to his mouth and "shhhh

"Listen!" he squinted, listened for a moment, and then said in a very gentle tone. ”

"Haha......"

Seeing the two of them swallowing saliva, he showed a nervous laugh, and walked to the two of them, the bloodthirsty temperament exuded in his bones, and the two people next to him became more and more frightened.

"Don't worry, I'll treat the captives well. He cracked his mouth and smiled, and the smile was terrifying.

Seeing him walking towards him, the second person was sweating, "You, you...... Far from me...... Yes...... Uh-huh......"

Chu Xuan covered his mouth and suddenly frowned.

"Don't make noise. ”

Softly spoken, but as cold as a knife.

He slid the weapon in his hand, gently slicing through the man's shirt, and finally stopped at the right rib.

The wrist moved slowly, and with a "poof" sound, as if something had been pierced, the fragile skin cracked, and the sharp tip of the knife pierced diagonally through the ribs.

This person was covered in a cold sweat, his hair exploded, and the strength of his whole body collapsed at the touch of a touch, as if his body was being pulled by something cold, involving the entire internal organs, and even a light breath would make him feel painful.

patted the other party's face, and under his frightened expression, Chu Xuan leaned into his ear and whispered.."Don't worry, it's just pierced the lobes of the lungs, don't speak, don't breathe, it won't hurt." ”

With that, he turned his head and smiled mildly at the third.

"I ...... I said, what do you want to know...... I tell you all, please, don't kill me......"

"I'm not going to kill you. ”

He took out a steamed bun and asked with a smile, "This is what you carried in your package?"

"Yes...... Yes. The man looked flattering.

"Oh. ”

He smiled, not knowing where to take out dozens of sharp steel needles.

"One, two...... while counting, while plunging into the steamed bun.

At last......

"Eat it. ”

"Ah?...... No...... Don't !!"

"Gaba!" the sound of the frontal bone being removed.

"Boom...... Gurg...... Cluck...... Giggle......"

......

......

"Ah!!h

In the firewood room, the three of them were sweating profusely, their faces were full of fear, their eyes were bloodshot, and in the end, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Xuan, who was facing away from them, as if they had seen a hideous demon.

"Don't kill me, I'll say anything!" the three of them said in unison, surprisingly unanimous.

A smile hung on the corner of Chu Xuan's mouth, and it became more and more obvious.

Adventurers, after all, have to take risks.

I didn't prepare well, and I learned what others were doing. Perhaps, being awakened by a small illusion is much better than one day being alive or dead.

It dawned on him that he might be better suited to the profession of a doctor than his mother.

The mother heals people, and he heals...... It's the human heart.
