Chapter 3: The Road Under Our Feet

Lotus Street, Baicaotang.

Chu Xuan gently pushed open the door, and several clusters of dust fell.

He looked up and found that the furnishings in the room were very simple, a medicine cupboard, a few tables and chairs, and it was not like a place where a woman lived.

The only thing that is unusual is that the walls are covered with drawing paper, which is full of strange things, all of which many people have not touched.

Seeing this environment, Chu Xuan smiled wistfully.

It really seems!

This pharmacy belonged to his mother, whom he had never seen before, but who was no stranger to it.

Because, it is very similar to the place where I lived when I was a child.

At that time, he and his mother traveled to many places, and the longest one he lived in was a seaside town in the eastern part of Nanzhao Kingdom.

Like that room, the room was covered with colorful drawing paper.

Although he didn't know what it was, and his mother didn't say anything, he looked at it and thought it was amazing.

In addition, my mother likes to read very much, and if there is an inner hall behind the pharmacy, there should be a study. Thinking of this, he was a little anxious, walked quickly to the backyard, and came to a room facing east and west.

Reaching out to open the door, I looked up to see a bookcase full of books, and a yellowed rattan rocking chair underneath. Walking over in surprise and stroking it with his hand, Chu Xuan's eyes were warm and warm, and the smile on his face was a little more.

As the sun was setting, he opened the window and let the dim light pour down through the cracks in the vines outside the window and reflect on the rattan rocking chair under the bookcase.

Pulling out a scroll, he slowly lay down, tried the comfort of the rattan rocking chair, and finally crossed his legs in satisfaction and opened the scroll to read.

The scroll is not a medical miscellaneous, but a vernacular novel about ghosts and gods, densely marked with many small characters, all written in a strange script. Chu Xuan knew the text, and she studied it with her mother when she was a child, and she said that this is the text of her hometown, and it must not be circulated in the world, so few people recognize it.

Looking very kind, Chu Xuan turned the novel to the end with a smile, wondering what his mother said, he always knew that his mother always had the habit of making essays after reading the book, and this habit was often marked on the last page of the book.

"If you want to attain spiritual attainment, you have the talents and aptitudes that are essential, one is the understanding and analysis of things, and the other is the genetic inheritance that you are born with. Most of the descendants of some people who have achieved success in their cultivation will go further than others, and the main reason may be that they carry some energy particles in their genes. ”

Uh, it's about spiritual practice?

I didn't expect my mother to be so interested in spiritual practice.

He kept looking.

"This kind of energy particles will be slowly diluted over time, the more powerful the descendants of the person, the slower the dilution of the genetic energy particles, but relatively fast, some cultivation families, gate valve can develop and grow because of this, which is inseparable from the people who have been surprised by their ancestors.

But I'm just an ordinary person, and the genetic particles in my body must be extremely weak, and if I have a child in the future, will I lose at the starting line at the first step in my life? No! No, I can't let my child lose his life because of being an ordinary mother! There must be some other way! There will definitely be!

Well?

Chu Xuan blinked, his expression a little surprised.

Seems to concern yourself?

Although he didn't understand many words literally, he probably still understood it, and he was surprised that his mother was indeed an ordinary person who couldn't practice, but she didn't seem to know anything about cultivation and Taoism as he once thought.

Curiosity, he got up and took out another book in the bookcase, which was the "Chongxu Sutra" compiled by Zhang Chongxu, the holy hand of Dandao, and turned to the last page, which was also marked with his mother's handwriting.

"The child has been more than two months old, and I, who am a doctor myself, have recently discovered that I am really not a competent mother. However, after thousands of experiments, the general plan is there, but it is ...... It's just that the "delayed core" is a sacred relic in the clan, and in the first place, the entire family was almost killed and injured in order to let me escape with it, and in doing so, will Izumishita's knowing parents blame me? No! No! After all, this child is their grandson, and they will definitely support my decision!"

His curiosity was even heavier, he had never heard his mother talk about herself, let alone her clan, especially the word "escape", which was too reverie, as if her mother had a very hidden secret.

Put the book in it and pull out another one.."The experiment has failed again, but don't be discouraged, you will definitely find a way." But today I met a very strange man, that person...... It's funny, it's just a little too old-fashioned, he ......"

"Smack!"

Chu Xuan closed the book and frowned, the essay in this book should have been written before the Chongxu Sutra, and that man should be Chu Wenyuan!

Not much interest!

Throwing the book aside, he rubbed it on the bookcase, and finally pulled out a copy of the "Miscellaneous Treatise on the Neijing".

"It hurts! The construction of the energy bridge hinders the healing of the wound, so it will take at least two or three months for the injury to heal, but I don't know if it will have any adverse effects on the child...... Fortunately, the plan was successful, and the "delayed nucleus" was fused into the child, which will gradually change the child's genetic particles, and even derive some other magical effects, but it's a pity...... I don't know how to practice, it took so long to only open up an energy bridge, and it is still a little slow to warm up, if there is enough energy to build an energy bridge, then the "delayed nucleus" will definitely have an imaginary effect, a total of one day, the destruction of the world is no longer a myth and legend!"

"Original...... It's for me. ”

The book was clutched tightly. His finger bones tingled a little, but he ignored it, just mechanically flipped through the familiar handwriting at the back of the scroll.

What happened? What happened?

"The child is five months old, his stomach is slightly bulging, the wound has long been healed, and it stands to reason that there will be no root cause left, but in recent days, he suddenly found that his chest was tight, and his internal organs seemed to have some problems. ”

"I didn't tell him about the child, I didn't want him to be embarrassed at this time, his family wouldn't let him marry an ordinary woman, but the child ...... A child should not be without a father. I asked him if he would like to leave Baiyun City with me and live in a place where no one knew us, and he said that I would give him some time to deal with family affairs, and before the first day of the first lunar month, he would definitely go to Gaoyang City to meet me. ”

"I've been in Baiyun City for a few years, and I've met a few friends, so since I'm leaving, it's better to say goodbye. Where is the Spiegel Building...... Forget it, Dong Wufu has always been hostile to Wen Yuan, and I also understand some things, since I don't want to hurt him, it's better not to see him. As for Xuanwu, looking cold, he is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but he is doing things in the Chu family, and some things still have to be hidden from him. Let's meet Lihua tomorrow, it's a good sister, if you don't see her before leaving, she will hate me for the rest of her life. ”

The essay was gone here, Chu Xuan flipped through it a few times, and found a few more pieces of manuscript paper in a book.

"Gao Yang City has been waiting for nearly two months, Wen Yuan has not appeared yet, I heard that there was a conflict between Baiyun City and the Southern Yin and Yang Sect, and even used the Warlock Camp for a time, Wen Yuan must have been dragged by the matter, and he couldn't get out for the time being, I just hope that he is safe and sound in this conflict. ”

"Recently, my body has become more and more painful, and when I passed by Nanyang Temple, an old Taoist said that I had fallen into the secret method of the Demon Dao, and I could only be saved if I went to Shouyang Mountain with him. I don't believe it much, this old way is still ragged, his eyes are blank, he doesn't look like a master in the world, maybe he is a liar. I haven't offended anyone, who can use the Dao Law against me, an ordinary person? What's more, not to mention that the first day of the first lunar month is coming, if he leaves at this time, Wen Yuan will definitely not find his own. ”

"On the first day of the first lunar month, I waited all night at the agreed place, the weather was very cold, my hands and feet were almost frozen, the sky was bright, Wen Yuan's figure still did not appear, he must have something to do not rush over...... After waiting for another three days, I really couldn't rest assured, I decided to go back to Baiyun City to find out the news, Wen Yuan must have something to do before he rushed over.

"Back to Baiyun City, but there is something wrong with the atmosphere in the city, it seems that it has just experienced a great war, I heard that many people have died, I hurriedly went to Mingjing Tower to find Dong Wufu, I hope he can help me find out the news of Wenyuan, don't have an accident!

When I returned to the pharmacy, I was really a little restless, hiding in the study, and suddenly remembered my mother's words: "When the situation is treacherous, the best solution to deal with things is to stop the water." "I wrote something in the room for a while, and then I calmed down, oh! Mother is right, no matter how anxious it is useless, let's wait for the news of Dong Wufu tomorrow. ”

The corners of the manuscript paper are wrinkled, which should have been stuffed in when you were in a hurry, and the events that followed were not described, and it should have been something that happened suddenly that disrupted the original plan.

"The world never stops because of one person. Without a father and a mother, even without a mother...... There will be other people. ”

Mother's scattered words sounded in his ears, Chu Xuan closed his eyes, only to feel that there was qi and blood in his heart rushing to the heavenly spirit cover, which was difficult to suppress!

When he grew up, he didn't suspect the cause of his mother's death, but he didn't want to think about it.

Lying on the rattan rocking chair, he seemed to see his mother again, seeing her looking at the sky, and seeing her painting a portrait at night.

With a sad smile, he coughed twice and couldn't help coughing up blood.

"Can't you hold it back?"

Sighing, he shook his head.

In terms of physical condition, he has long been aware of the fire, the injury from a year ago has not healed, and he has been infected with Xuan Bing Cold Qi, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time.

"It's just...... It's not going to be that easy!"
