Chapter 9: Fortune from the Sky
The old man's name is Huzhong Xian, but he is a strange spirit, usually living in a green-skinned gourd, and rarely appears.
When Yi Chen was eight years old, he got this gourd from Wu Er Mazi, who sold groceries on East Street, and he just wanted to get it as a kettle, but he didn't expect to get a lot of trouble and go home......
According to popular opinion, most of these guys who have lost their physical bodies but are still mentally damaged can be called "ghosts" - it must be said that whether it is Daluo, the Northern Territory, the Southern Xinjiang or the Western Regions Demon Kingdom, this kind of "thing" is not very welcome.
Of course, Hu Zhongxian scoffed at this, according to his old man, in that far, far away era, he was a great swordsman, poet, drunkard, gourmet, XXXX......
Of course, when I first introduced myself, I didn't have so many titles, but when people are older, they tend to forget things (self-proclaimed), so the great Huzhong Immortal's predecessors are swordsmen today, and tomorrow they will become poets......
Yi Chen often slandered his stomach, this is not damn amnesia at all, but paranoia! madness! Alzheimer's madness!
Despite this, Yi Chen still didn't lose the gourd, after all, people always have a little secret of their own, not to mention being a member of the Crossing Party, there is nowhere to tell many things on their minds, so they can only be used to entertain a talkative and forgetful crazy old man.
Seeing that Hu Zhongxian blinked his eyes and his words flickered, Yi Chen couldn't help but aggravate his tone: "Senior, I want to listen! This is not a joke, please say it in as much detail as possible!"
Hu Zhongxian sighed and recounted the events of last night one by one.
Don't look at his old age, his brain is still quite clear at the critical moment, and the whole process is described by him as twists and turns, exciting, just like a storyteller.
After Yi Chen listened, he couldn't help but be silent.
For a long time, although he knew that there was something unusual about him, he didn't dare to think crookedly, but he didn't expect that an accident last night completely revealed this secret......
"Demon power...... Are you really sure that the banshee said the word 'demon power', and you heard it right?"
"Nonsense!" Hu Zhongxian said angrily: "That female doll has said so many things over and over, has Lao Tzu heard every sentence wrong?
Yi Chen immediately shut up and stopped talking.
In fact, he knew that he was different from ordinary people when he was a child......
For example, when other people's children grow up so big, they will inevitably have a headache, brain fever, fever and stomach pain, etc., but he is good, and he has been sick since he was a child!
If this only indicates a good physique, then what about the freakish physical fitness?
A mere twelve-year-old child, who does not rely on pills or exercises, is born with a brute strength of several hundred catties, which is definitely an inhuman existence!
The reason for this...... Although Yi Chen didn't want to admit it, he had to secretly guess that the biological father of his body was probably not a human, but a ...... Goblin!
Regarding his father's true identity, Yi Chen has always been curious, but his mother Yi Yunzhen has always refused to say it explicitly - not even half a word!
Yi Chen is not stupid, his mother is like this, why is he embarrassed to ask repeatedly?
Although his body is a twelve-year-old child, his heart is already an adult, how can he be so ignorant?
The old guy was quiet for a while, and then said in a slow tone: "I've thought a lot about it since last night, and some things have finally been thought out clearly, do you know where all the internal breath you have practiced over the years has gone?"
"Huh?" Yi Chen was stunned, this question had bothered him for five years, and he was really confused when he mentioned it suddenly.
"Let me tell you, demon power, all turned into demon power!"
The old guy looked like he hated iron and steel, and said quickly: "Your kid's talent is indeed good, quite a bit like my old man's feeling back then, why has there been no progress after five years of practice? ”
"Ahem...... Yi Chen couldn't help coughing twice, and corrected: "Can we change the word, half-demon, half-demon, okay?"
"Call it whatever you want. The old guy was too lazy to dwell on the details, so he cut straight to the topic: "Your demon bloodline is very hidden, even my old man has lost his eyes, and the internal breath you usually practice has been quietly transformed into demonic power, stored in the demon wheel in your body, and has been accumulated for five years, but you ......can't feel it yourself."
"Wait!" Yi Chen suddenly raised his hand and interrupted the old guy's words, "Demon Wheel?
"How can I explain this to you...... In this way, you can understand it this way, our human race relies on the meridians for cultivation, and the demon race relies on the demon wheel in their bodies, understand?"
"OK, you continue. ”
"You kid has been cultivating for so long, and you haven't used demonic power, and last night was the first time in the world. That one...... Recently, a great fortune fell from the sky, and your kid happened to be hit by one in the head, so he got the 'inheritance'. HEY, SHOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE UNLUCKY, OR DID YOU STEP ON THE DOG SHI AND HIT THE LUCK...... Anyway, you should have this in your life. ”
"Wait, what does it mean to have a great destiny from heaven? Also, what is 'inheritance'?" Yi Chen gave full play to his studious spirit of asking questions if he didn't understand, and continued to raise his hand to ask questions.
This time, the old guy refused to say anything, no matter how Yi Chen asked, he was vague.
In the end, the old thing simply changed the topic: "Last night, you were in a dead situation, so the demonic power on your body was completely stimulated, and then two innate treasures on your body were introduced. The girl seemed to recognize her, so she deliberately tried to test you, but unexpectedly set herself on fire and almost killed herself. Then your three masters woke up, cleaned up and took you home, and that's all about it. ”
"Are you born with a strange treasure...... Yi Chen muttered to himself, and then opened his left hand, but saw that the cyan strange light flickered slightly, and gradually pulled into a long shape.
It's a rag, even if it's dirty, and it has seventeen or eighteen holes, and even the widow's footwrap on the other side of the wall is more than that.
However, for Yi Chen, this rag is a priceless treasure!
I heard my mother say that this thing was brought out of his mother's womb, and he also served as the important task of wrapping the baby cloth, but what is the specific use, Yi Yunzhen did not say clearly.
It doesn't matter, my mother doesn't say it, Yi Chen can also fiddle with the research himself.
Finally, when he was seven years old, he discovered the true utility of the rags......
No matter how many injuries Yi Chen suffered, such as falling off a cliff while collecting medicine with Wang Ma's face, or being severely injured and vomiting blood by Li Axiang, he could be covered with injuries and healed quickly!
Yi Chen admitted: This is not scientific!
But the facts are the facts, as long as he sticks the rags on his body, the wounds will heal at a speed that is visible to the naked eye!
Of course, it doesn't come without a cost......
Think about it, Yi Chen has grown so big, he has experienced many ups and downs, and he has been injured countless times, but he is lucky not to die, thanks to Brother Rag!~
But the side effect is: the appearance of the rag is getting worse and worse, and the effect is not as good as the one time!
Maybe one day, it will turn into a real rag......
Yi Chen was very worried about this result, so he tried not to use it if he could, he was very seriously injured yesterday afternoon, and he only gritted his teeth and endured it.
As for another strange treasure, not to mention, he has never seen it since he was a child, and he didn't know that he still had such a big killer hidden in his body!
"Alright. Hu Zhongxian cleared his throat and said, "Now is not the time to study this thing, I'll tell you the good news, for some reasons I don't understand, your demon wheel has been temporarily sealed."
"This ...... Is this good news?" Yi Chen could only smile bitterly.
"Nonsense! You kid has water in his head, right? This is the territory of the Terrans, isn't it possible that when you do it with people in the future, you will be as demonic as last night?"
"Uh......"
"Come, you try, and see if those human masters will tie you to a pillar and burn you alive!"
"Forget it......" Yi Chen stuck out his tongue and smiled awkwardly.
"Well, I said it's a good thing, and from now on you're going to forget all about last night and treat it as if it didn't happen. ”
"yes, okay. ”
"One more thing, I almost forgot to mention that since your demon chakra no longer works, your meridians are back to normal. Not...... Well, you can cultivate like before again, come on, practice hard!"
Yi Chen's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but ask, "Before, what before, how long ago, how long ago???
The old guy smiled evilly, but he didn't speak.
Yi Chen comprehended, immediately sat down cross-legged, and escaped into a meditative state......
A quarter of an hour later, after the harvest was over, Yi Chen hurriedly investigated his own cultivation.
Fuck! The old guy really didn't lie, the feeling of five years ago, it's fucking back!!
"Hehe, according to your kid's talent, I think as long as you give you half a year, you can beat all those kids who bullied you all over the ground!~"
Yi Chen waved his fist vigorously and sneered: "Why do you need half a year? Three months! Give me three months! I must let them know how to write the word 'Brother Chen'!"
"Okay!Ambitious!I like it!~" Huzhong Xian laughed, his body suddenly turned into smoke, and he slipped into the gourd.
......
Dongshi has always been the most lively place in Yongle Town, at this time it is early in the morning, the crowd at the entrance of Dongshikou is surging, shoulder to shoulder, all kinds of shouting and shouting and bargaining are endless.
"Second Brother Li, here are four big buns. Yi Chen rubbed his eyes and threw out two copper coins.
"Okay, old rules, fragrant meat stuffed big buns, come on!"
Yi Chen gnawed on the bun and rubbed his eyes, what is the situation with grandma?
The people on the street are all red under the red vision, of course, there is a certain distance limit, more than about ten meters will not work.
Even so, the scene in front of him was very evil, Yi Chen took a few glances, and then tried to control the red vision.
Thankfully, this thing was obedient and faded away after a while.
Wang Dashen's stall is placed in the most marginal corner of the East Market, after all, now that the sun is rising, everyone is in a hurry to buy vegetables and meat, who has the leisure to run to fortune telling early in the morning?
"Sir, have you eaten it?" Yi Chen put the bun on the spread cloth and took out a handful of yellow paper.
"What are you kid doing with a thief smiling, let go of a fart quickly!" Wang Dashenshu grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, glaring at the little guy again.
"Last night...... What the hell is going on?~"
"How do I know!" Wang Ma scratched his scalp with his face, and said angrily: "After I woke up, I saw a big pit on the ground, and your kid was lying in it shirtless, sleeping so much that it was called a fragrant, and Lao Tzu couldn't wake up no matter how he shook it, if it wasn't for the breath you still have, I really want to use the knife to give you a bit." ”
When Yi Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
"Go ahead. Wang Dashenshu chewed and said vaguely: "The thing is in my house, you go and bring it to me." ”
"Okay. Yi Chen got up happily, but listened to Wang Dashen's calculation and said, "Slow!"
"Huh!?"
Wang Dashen was silent for a long time, and then waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go and draw a few regeneration talismans, and use the twilight flower juice to draw." ”
"Ahh
"Why, didn't I teach you?" Wang Dashenshuan's eyes turned into goldfish bubbles again.
"It's not ......" Yi Chen hurriedly explained: "Sir, my level is limited, the regeneration talisman is a fourth-order talisman, and the difficulty is too high, in case you spoil this twilight flower juice......"
"Fart! Lao Tzu has taught you hand-in-hand for so long, and your fucking level is limited? If you can't draw, if you don't draw, get out of here!"
"Draw and ......" Yi Chen was trained, but his heart was sweet, because Wang Ma face is like this, and he has long been used to it.
What I said just now is a little ugly, but the meaning is very clear: Go, rabbit cub, I don't have to worry about you doing things.
