Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 2 The Day of Destiny (Part II)
After all, the immortals still didn't leave with Wu Jie, but just told him that if he really wanted to cultivate, then he would have to leave this town and go to the outside world to wander in the Great World Realm, to find his own opportunity to seek the Tao.
"The most important thing for our dragon faction is the word 'chance', you didn't appear in front of Shibo, which means that your fate is not with us." The steady immortal said.
Seeing that Wu Jie's bright eyes quickly dimmed, the lively immortal couldn't bear it after all, and said: "You don't have to be depressed, since you have moved the heart of the Dao and come to us in time, this means that you may indeed be a person with a fate, but your fate has not really appeared yet." So...... Find the opportunity that truly belongs to you! β
After saying this, the two immortals rose with golden light under their feet, and they flew away at a speed that Wu Xie could not catch up.
After the two immortals left, Wu Xie had been a little distracted.
The pain of having hope and then losing it is even more unbearable than the pain of never getting hope.
He really made up his mind to cultivate the Tao and seek immortals, and because of this, he attached great importance to this immortal fate, and he was even more reluctant to lose it.
Moreover, he could see that the two immortals were indeed tempted for a while, and they did want to lead him into the mountain to cultivate.
But they eventually gave up because of "chance".
As monks who have not been in the Dao for a long time, they are not qualified to lead others to the entrance, and those who have this qualification are only the big men who break the spells of the Sanshan Daoist and capture them.
If Wu Xie could have appeared before the Great Han left and asked him for guidance, maybe he was already cultivating in the Immortal Mountain at the moment, right?
Immortals only value chance, since Wu Xie did not appear at that time, it is a chance incompatibility; Since the opportunity is not the same, you can't force it.
Wu Xie couldn't understand this persistent attitude of "chance-only theory", and in his opinion, this kind of psychology was really a bit sick. But he was able to understand what the two were doing, and calmly accepted the end of the chance slipping in front of him.
Or rather, he struggled to calm himself down.
Returning home in a daze, he put aside the medicine basket and hoe, took out many small boxes from under the counter where the medicine was grabbed, and took out a bag of sun-dried sand, and practiced habitually.
Each box has a portion written on it, one tael, half a tael, three coins, two coins and five cents...... Wu Xie took a box in his hand, opened the lid, twisted a small handful of sand and put it in, then closed the lid, and replaced it with another one.
This is what he is practicing, not using scales, relying on the feeling to grasp the required amount accurately.
The unique skill of "grasping a hand" has been passed down for a long time, and many old guys in famous stores have this ability, but in the usual sense, "a handful of grasping" is to catch groceries and candies, etc., and the highest degree of accuracy is about half a tael, but what Wu Xie wants to practice is the ability to grasp medicine - medicine is not those things that don't matter if there is more or less, let alone half a tael, many times a penny is a death!
So he practiced harder than others, and pursued far higher precision than others.
From the age of eight to the age of fifteen, he practiced hard every day for seven years to achieve this unique skill. Now he's accurate to the bottom of a penny, and he's working towards half a penny, or five cents.
If he hadn't seen and heard what he had seen and heard today, he would probably be willing to become a healer with unique skills, maybe he would try to learn more brilliant medical skills in the future, or he might use his knowledge from another world to become a miracle doctor like Xue Muhua Hu Qingniu, or even go down in history like Hua Tuo Bian Que......
But now, his mind has completely changed!
This is a world with immortals, immortal, eternal, it is completely possible!
What he pursues, of course, is to become an immortal!
How many heroes and sages on the earth throughout the ages have fallen under the ruthless pig-killing knife of the years, turning into a wave in the long river of history and a page of thousands of scrolls of history...... And he was fortunate to come to this world where he could become an immortal, and saw the hope that transcended time and let the river of time wash away!
More importantly, when he made up his mind to seek immortals, the feeling of being full of heart and soul made him extremely determined.
This is a feeling he has not felt in many years, and it is a determination that he has never enjoyed in the decades of his two lives!
"Perhaps...... It is my destiny to travel to this world and pursue the road to becoming an immortal! β
"If not, why have I been dreaming such strange dreams all these years? Why would I somehow cross over to this world? β
"It must be like this! I will definitely find my true fairy fate and hold it tightly in my hands! β
Thinking of this, his mood became hot again.
At dinner, he mentioned it to his parents, intending to find out what they were talking about.
In fact, even if Wu Xie doesn't say it, Wu Lao Niang already wants to take the initiative to mention this matter - Wu Jie's failure to seek immortals has spread throughout the town, and everyone knows that the Wu family, a young man who has always been calm and old, is rarely fanatical - the scene where he ran wild in the town, I don't know how many people in Lu Dao have seen it with their own eyes.
There is no one in the world who knows children better than their parents, even though Father Wu and Mrs. Wu don't know that their son is a traverser, but for so many years from childhood to adulthood, they have seen his son's every move in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, how can they not know that Lu Dao's son is really moved this time?
Steady people are not easily fanatical, but when they do, they are more difficult to convince than those who are frizzy, because they must have made up their minds after careful consideration.
"Oh, do you really want to ask for immortals?" After a period of silence, it was Father Wu who asked, "The immortals have said, it's not easy to ask for immortals!" β
"The child has made up his mind!" Wu Xie said categorically, "After a while, it will be the autumn festival, and after the autumn festival, the child will go out to find the so-called 'opportunity'!" β
"How can the gods be so good!" Wu Lao Niang persuaded, "You are smart and steady, you are serious and decent, and you will definitely become a famous doctor in the future - didn't you often say that you want to become a generation of famous doctors?" β
"If you can't succeed in seeking immortals, of course the child will come back and continue to practice medicine." Wu Xie actually didn't plan to "seek immortals" at all, but he was a little sad when he saw his mother, so he couldn't help but lie, "It just so happens that the medical books at home have been read, and even if the child can't seek immortals this time, he will have to find a few medical books that are not available at home." β
The two elders glanced at each other and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
They couldn't see that "if you can't succeed in seeking immortals, come back to practice medicine" is just prevarication, but their son has said it to this point, and they really can't think of any way to persuade Wu Xie to change his mind.
Growing up, this kid wasn't a person who would change his mind easily!
"Then don't practice medical skills these days, follow Boss Du to practice martial arts!" Daddy Wu also traveled the rivers and lakes back then, and he is well versed in the truth of walking the rivers and lakes - when he is alone, the most reliable thing is his fist, and it will always be much more convenient and safe to have a harder fist.
Wu Xie nodded and responded to this matter.
He knew that this was the biggest concession from his parents.
That night, he lay in bed tossing and turning, and the scenes of the immortal fighting techniques he saw during the day kept flashing in his mind, like a movie replay.
The palpitating black smoke, the golden light that soared into the sky, the figure of the sword flying......
He tossed and turned back and forth about what he had seen and heard, and he didn't know how long it had taken for him to fall asleep.
It's still the familiar black storm, it's still the familiar thunder.
Wu Xie stood in the midst of the wind and thunder, as in despair as always.
But in the moment of despair, there was another emotion lingering in his heart, reverberating, like a stream of magma that wanted to break through the rock and break out of the ground.
He knew what he wanted to say and do, he knew he had something very important, but he just couldn't think of it.
I don't know how long it took to say that at the moment when the thunder fell, he had an idea, recalled what he saw and thought during the day, and the suppressed passion burst out suddenly!
"Me! Want! Yes! Immortal! His roar echoed like a bell, and the thunder could not cover it.
With this roar, the wind and thunder in the sky suddenly disappeared, and his heart suddenly brightened.
Before he crossed over, he had read a lot of Xianxia novels, and he had already guessed whether his dream was a scene of immortal tragedy, but he thought about it very clearly during the day, but when he arrived in the dream, he only knew that he was desperate and fearful.
Only now, he finally woke up from his dream.
"What the hell is going on?" Wu Xie muttered, but saw the scenery in front of him shake and turn into a misty cloud.
He walked in the clouds and mist in confusion, and he didn't know how long it had been, but suddenly it was a small field in front of him.
The field was surrounded by misty clouds, but this field and a place near it were free of clouds and mist, which was very refreshing.
No, it's not "very refreshing", but it's very refreshing!
Because almost the first moment he stepped on the field, Wu Xie felt the abnormality here - the air here was so fresh that even the mere breathing produced a feeling that could be called "pleasant".
Before that, he had never imagined that breathing could bring people a pleasant feelingβwith every breath of air, from the nasal cavity to the trachea to the lungs to the whole body, every cell seemed to cheer, like a farmer who has been in a drought for a long time, and like a dry earth, desperately absorbing the fresh feeling contained in the air...... It was probably just after taking two or three breaths, he felt that the whole person was full of energy, a heat was rising between his muscles and bones, and his heart was full of incomparable fulfillment and self-confidence.
He even felt that even if a tiger appeared in front of him at this moment, he could kill it with three punches and two kicks like Wu Song!
It's a pity that in this field, Wu Xie didn't find a tiger, but saw a rabbit.
A rabbit slumping and sleeping.
It was lying under a big tree that Wu Xie looked a little familiar with, sleeping soundly, and actually snoring like a human.
Wu Xie looked around a little puzzled, only to see that this field was empty, except for the black soil that could not see any name, the only thing special was the inexplicably familiar big tree and the rabbit under the tree that felt very human.
Wu Xie wanted to take a closer look, but the slight sound of his feet on the ground had already alarmed the sleeping rabbit, and when he saw its long ears shake twice, it staggered up and stretched out.
Well, it was indeed a stretch, because it had already turned into a little girl in white clothes and white hair in the moment when it straightened up.
This little girl was about eight or nine years old, delicate and lovely, both hair and clothes were as white as snow, but a pair of big watery eyes were as red as jewels, and the long rabbit ears on the top of her head clearly explained her race.
She didn't seem to have fully woken up, her expression was a little dazed, and her body was a little shaky, which made Wu Xie worry about whether she would stage a classic flat fall, and plant an upside down onion on the black soil that was flat to the point of not having any undulations.
At this time, he had completely forgotten that the other party was obviously not a human but a youkai - who had ever heard of a youkai falling to the ground in a daze?
Wu Xie soon discovered his mistake.
The rabbit-eared girl's gaze naturally fell on him, first surprised, then bewildered, and then suddenly realized, and turned full of unbelievable surprise.
Wu Xie never thought that he would be able to see so many mature expressions one after another from a childish, young and innocent face in just one or two seconds!
What surprised him even more was the girl's next reaction - she rushed to Wu Xie in a flash, hugged his waist, and cried.
"Master! Your old man is finally back! How did it take so long to survive a catastrophe! How many times has this been a vicissitude! β
