Chapter 1: The Road to Immortality
The northbound train rumbled, an autumn wind blew, and yellow leaves rolled up on the tracks.
Yu Sheng tightened his suitcase and got into the car back to his hometown.
In the car, big bags under the eyes, and a choking smell of smoke from small smoking guns, made me dizzy for the rest of my life.
But the rest of his life was not disgusted, just opened the somewhat broken windows, and then blew the oncoming wind, listening to the old people bragging, it felt like squatting at the entrance of the village when he was a child, listening to everyone's bragging, which made him miss it very much.
After getting out of the car, there are still two kilometers of dirt road to go, and the birch trees on both sides have grown tall, and the branches are linked to each other like a golden tunnel to taste.
On both sides of the tunnel are golden rice fields, when the wind blows, the leaves rattle, the rice waves roll, and the wind mixed with the fragrance of rice makes people indescribably relaxed and comfortable.
Walking into the village, the rest of my life was slightly disappointed, and the original village of more than 300 people had been abandoned for most of it.
There was only a big yellow dog left at the entrance of the village that used to be basking in the sun.
In the distance, he could see that his grandparents' house was still smoking, but it was no longer theirs.
The grandparents passed away a few years ago, and the house was sold to a neighbor for 20,000 yuan by the uncle.
Further afield, many of the rows of houses you can see have collapsed, and the roofs have become V-shaped.
The kiosks at the old crossroads are gone, the doors are locked, and the inside is empty.
The rest of my life knew that I would never see a group of gamblers playing cards, smoking, and bragging inside.
This is his hometown, Houyaotun, a village that is gradually disappearing.
"It's ruined, but it's so fucking easy when you come back!"
The rest of his life grinned.
"Ding! The immortal ascension system is successfully bound, and the road to immortal ascension task is released:
The earth is dying, and the host needs to help the earth's aura recover and become a sacred place for cultivating immortals again.
Reward: Ascend to the Day! ”
The rest of my life was stunned, the system?
He has read a lot of novels over the years, and he is naturally no stranger to the system, but that task, he only thinks Alexander for the rest of his life!
He's struggling to support himself, and now he still has to take this ball?
The next moment, the system prompt sounded again:
"Ding, the road to immortal ascension branch task one, save the old mansion!
Reward: 1 special upgrade point [Random upgrade level]
Task Punishment: None
Description: No one's home is dying, and you need to buy, clean, and repair the old house.
Quest Punishment: None"
Yu Sheng was stunned, and then looked at his grandparents' house with bright eyes.
When he came back this time, he had already negotiated with his neighbors about the intention to buy back, and it was necessary to buy back the house, repair and clean it.
This task was simply given for nothing.
Yu Sheng walked quickly to the door of the ancestral house, looking at the two old elm trees planted by his grandfather before his death, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
"For the rest of your life, are you back, do you have the money?" In the courtyard, a young man immediately ran over when he saw Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng took out 30,000 yuan and said, "Here it is." ”
The young man took 30,000 yuan and said happily: "Cheng, the house is yours!" ”
"Go to the village committee first to go through the formalities, and I'll just run later. If you're not at ease, you can run with me. The young man said.
Yu Sheng shook his head: "You run, just tell me if you need to." ”
"Done!" The young man collected the money, the two signed the contract, and then he got on his motorcycle and left.
It can be seen that he does not want to stay in the village for a moment.
Yu Sheng shook his head, pushed open the familiar door, walked on the cement stone platform, and cautiously looked through the window at the fire kang in the room, but unfortunately he couldn't see the old lady sitting on the smoking belt on the kang head, the old man curling dry cigarettes and scolding......
The house was empty and everything had been moved.
Yu Sheng made a phone call, and not long after, the uncle came from the township, accompanied by two tractors.
The tractor was filled with old furniture from the grandparents' house, and the uncle took all these things with him when he moved. It's been in the warehouse, and when the rest of his life comes back, he wants to come back.
A group of people hurriedly put the furniture in the yard and left.
The uncle was busy delivering feed, and he didn't have time to stay longer, so he just said to the rest of his life that they would eat together in the evening, and hurriedly rode a motorcycle back to the township.
The movement here was too great, and some old people in the village came over and asked if Yu Sheng was coming back.
Yu Sheng nodded, they were very happy, and rolled up their sleeves one by one to help Yu Sheng clean the old house.
Especially Grandpa Tie, a seventy-year-old man, can't pull it.
Looking at the busy old people, I felt some warmth for the rest of my life.
In the evening, everything was packed up.
"Ding, the first stage of the road to immortal ascension, save the old mansion!
Reward: 1 special upgrade point [Random upgrade level]
Task Punishment: None
Description: No one's home is dying, and you need to buy, clean, and repair the old house.
Mission Progress: Completed
Mission Evaluation: Perfect
The mission reward has been distributed. ”
The system prompt and the prompt bar appeared at the same time, and Yu Sheng was startled.
However, when he saw that there were a little more random points in the upgrade point, Yu Sheng was a little excited.
"I don't know what the use of this upgrade point is, could it be that it can improve my attributes?" Yu Sheng muttered in his heart.
"Ding!
From now on, you'll get an upgrade point every day, which upgrades everything.
Each time you upgrade an item, you will randomly get a faint aura between one and ten paths, and the older the upgraded item, the more spirits you attach to it, and the more aura you get.
Auras can be used to boost oneself and draw items. ”
Then there was an extra shop panel in front of Yu Sheng.
The panel is divided into four sections: Shop, Draw Wheel, and Mystery Packs and Personal Boosts.
For the rest of my life, I opened the store, and there was nothing in it.
Click on the lottery wheel, the wheel is gray, indicating that the lottery requires at least ten aura.
The mystery bundle only has a big question mark with a countdown on it and seven days to go.
The rest of my life is calculated, and seven days later it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means that this mysterious gift package was distributed in time for the holiday.
The last one is the personal promotion section, which has a small rest of life in it, and the five products of waste are written on the side!
Upgrading to the Waste Four Rank requires a wisp of aura!
Yu Sheng's face was dark, and he asked himself if his physical fitness was not bad, but the evaluation here in the system turned out to be a waste.
In addition to these, there is a little upgrade point in the bottom right corner.
"I don't know how to use this thing."
This thought just came to mind, and the system prompt sounded: "Do whatever you want, go with your thoughts." ”
At that moment, Yu Sheng actually realized, and with the thought of it, a white light swirled around his fingers, and he knew that it was the upgrade point, as long as he pointed it on the corresponding item, he could upgrade the corresponding item.
But what to upgrade?
I want to upgrade myself for the rest of my life, after all, I am the fundamental.
"Ding! Upgrade points do not work on living things, please select dead things. The system beep sounded again.
The rest of your life was stunned, dead things?
That's a bit tricky.
Looking around, it seems that the oldest thing in the family is the furniture left by his grandparents, as well as some old objects.
But he didn't have time to take stock of the old things.
At this time, Grandpa Tie brought two more ox feet: "Little fish, we will give you a hot pot at night!" ”
Other uncles and aunts, grandparents also went home to get firewood, rice, oil, salt, Chinese cabbage, green onions, soybean sauce and so on......
Then a group of old people started chatting on the fire.
In the face of these grandparents, uncles and aunts who have watched them grow up since childhood, all they can do for the rest of their lives is to chat.
Then Yu Sheng went to the village and shouted around, and the people at home were all called to the house, and they were stunned to make two tables.
Grandpa Tie even took out the old wine that had been treasured for many years, a small burnt at 70 degrees.
After three cups, I was drunk for the rest of my life.
……
Early the next morning, Yu Sheng got up and went to the grave of his grandparents, telling them that he had come back and would come to see them often in the future.
By the way, he brought home the stray dog at the entrance of the village that no one wanted, and the family was finally a little angry.
In the evening, Yu Sheng heard that Grandpa Tie was taken to the city by his family in the middle of the night last night.
The second uncle and second aunt are also ready to go to the city to help the children take their grandchildren after the autumn harvest......
The rest of my life knows that this year's Chinese New Year may not be able to gather two tables of people.
Just then, the system beep sounded again.
"Ding! The second phase of the path to immortality is to save the dying village.
Reward: 10 special upgrade points [random upgrade level]
Task Punishment: None
Description: The people in the village walked, died, and when everyone left, the village died. Use your abilities to reawaken the village's upgrades and attract more people back. ”
"10 random skill points?!" Yu Sheng jumped up excitedly.
But on second thought, saving a village is not as simple as achieving an ancestral home. If you want to revitalize a village, the difficulty is so difficult, and the rest of your life even doubts whether you have the ability.
"Let's take one step at a time, I have upgrade points, I have aura, and I can draw lotteries, as long as I give me time, I should be able to do it."
The rest of his life muttered.
It's a new day, and he should have a little upgrade point again, and he's going to study it and use it.
Just then, someone came to the door.
A group of three people, one of whom was still wearing filial piety, arrived at the door of the house, and the person who led it said loudly: "Filial son kowtows".
Yu Sheng got up immediately, he knew that this was a funeral report, this was an old man who had passed away, and the filial son had come to find someone to help.
The young people in the village have the rest of their lives left, and those who are fifty years old are considered young and strong laborers, and it is normal for people to come to the door.
As for why you don't enter the door, it's because people in the world are taboo to wear filial piety to enter the house, which is unlucky.
So the filial son only kowtows at the door.
Yu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa Tie is old? ”
The middle-aged man nodded and cried.
It turned out that it was not Grandpa Tie who was picked up, but suddenly fell ill, and his family took him to the hospital overnight.
However, I still couldn't get it back, and I left in the middle of the night yesterday and sent it back to the village this morning.
The rest of his life was sour, yesterday the old man took a sip of wine with everyone, and took out the treasure wine to entertain the whole village, and left today.
This made the rest of my life very uncomfortable.
"Uncle Xu, I'm going to help."
