Chapter 33: One Step at a Time (Part I)
From the primeval period, when the ruler of the world was still a human race, there was such a saying, and this sentence is still like a mantra, telling the essence of chasing the path of immortality.
Heaven and earth are like chessboards, and cultivators are like chess pieces, but they are in crisis step by step, and if they want to jump out of the chessboard, they should take every step into the camp, and if they make a mistake, they will die.
And this time, when Chu Hao stepped on the first jade step, he felt more profound than ever before.
In the first step, when you stepped on it, the chill spread throughout your body, not only did the surface of your body immediately form a layer of frost, but your eyebrows and eyelashes were suddenly dyed white.
Then, starting from the soles of his feet, the frost began to spread upward, getting thicker and thicker, and it felt like Chu Hao was absolutely frozen.
If that's okay, it's just that the scene in front of Chu Hao's eyes directly made him forget his luck to resist the end of being frozen into a popsicle.
Everywhere I saw in front of me, a girl who was dressed as not belonging to this world at all was looking at Chu Hao, but her face was quite weird.
"I said, don't send me any love letters, I don't like your type. ”
After saying a word, the girl wearing a kind of "school uniform" had already crumpled a piece of letter paper into a paper ball when Chu Hao was already in a daze, and then threw it aside in disgust, and then said: "When do you know what the Korean Wave is, the daily flow, and then grow to one meter eight, and don't wear such old-fashioned clothes, come to me again." ”
After saying that, the girl turned around and left in a shout.
Behind him, a tall boy was waiting with a bouquet of flowers and something called an LV bag in his hand.
"Boy, you're too tender. ”
When they left, Chu Hao knew what he was going to say from the boy's mouth.
It's just that......
"Get out!"
Chu Hao shouted loudly, but the two people in front of him didn't seem to hear it, they just walked like that, and when Chu Hao said again, the scene suddenly shattered like a mirror, and when he looked down, he was just standing on the top of the first jade step, and under his feet, there was a piece of broken ice.
"Boredom ......"
Chu Hao shook his head and sighed lightly, that scene was nothing more than a picture of the first time he liked someone back then, but was completely rejected.
"I thought you had something great, but if that's the case, then it's avoided. ”
After speaking, he took another step, and this time, the bone-chilling cold did not appear, but it was as if he was in a blazing fire, as if it was about to burn him all.
And the scene in front of him was still so familiar, but this time, Chu Hao frowned, and then showed a wry smile.
"Break up, I don't want to squeeze the bus to work every day, when you have a house and a car, come to me again." ”
This is the scene when I was in love for a year, and everyone envied me to catch up with the goddess, but I was broken up, and the reason is the same.
In a light sigh, a qiē was broken again, as if there had never been a zài, and Chu Hao was already in the second jade order.
As a human being in the third life, his state of mind has long been extraordinary, how could he react as he did at the beginning again, so Chu Hao just sighed lightly, and nothing else.
"Hehe, it's interesting, do you miss the journey?"
After laughing, Chu Hao stepped on the third jade step with his hand.
The third step is a feeling of complete suffocation, but the scene in front of me is happening in the workplace, the stuffy hall, the hurried footsteps, confirming that the workplace is like a war.
Looking at this scene, Chu Hao only raised his eyelids, and then stepped directly on the fourth jade step in a qiē shattering.
"...... this?"
This time, there was no feeling at all, but the scene that appeared in front of him, even though Chu Hao was mentally prepared, but for a moment, a trace of sluggishness flashed in his eyes.
"Help me!"
In the midst of the heavy rain, the occasional burst of lightning that streaked across the sky illuminated the night and illuminated the face of the young man lying in a pool of blood.
That's me, just my former self.
"Help me!"
In the heavy rain, he called for help, and not far in front of him, in a Buick with an uneven front body, a young man was hurriedly making a phone call, and from time to time he put his head out of the window and shouted: "Don't die, don't die, I've already called 120, don't die, the car I just bought." ”
It's just that no matter how he shouted, the breath of the person in the pool of blood was already getting weaker and weaker.
...... Is this the scenario of one's own death?
Obviously, all the things in front of him, even if he knew that this moment was just an illusion, Chu Hao couldn't help but show a trace of discomfort in his heart, after all, this was a real existence, and it was himself after all.
"Forget it. ”
With a light sigh, Chu Hao closed his eyes and waited for a qiē to be broken.
It's just a fantasy, though.
"Help me, please. ”
"Impossible!"
Chu Hao finally showed a hint of shock, and looked at the fact that the qi qi was still continuing, and even the heavy rain that continued to fall actually had a biting chill.
And that pungent smell of blood.
"You...... You can see me. ”
Ignoring whether the wetness of the whole body was real or not, looking at the aura in front of him getting weaker and weaker, but his eyes were no longer looking at the car owner, but at the self in his own direction, Chu Hao finally asked.
"Help me, please. ”
That self was still calling for help, but from his eyes, Chu Hao vaguely saw a glimmer of hope, and there was another person.
"Hold on!"
Chu Hao finally shouted, and then ignored the severe pain in his whole body when he was running the aura, wanting to instill the aura into himself and hold on to his life until the ambulance arrived.
It's just that......
"Damn. ”
In a burst of sharp pain, Chu Hao had already found himself on top of the fourth jade order, and in the palm of his hand, the aura fluctuated.
"Humph!"
With a look of anger on his face, he stepped onto the fifth jade step.
"Light eyebrows, maybe I'm really not a good father, that's why Hao'er doesn't want to call me father. ”
In the corner of the temple, before a piece of gold lacquer was still very new, Chu Mu whispered to himself, but his demeanor and tone showed a rare weakness.
That was the scene that Chu Hao had seen in his previous life.
After traveling in his previous life, it was naturally difficult for him to suddenly identify with this world, and even more difficult to identify with the suddenly extra family and the father.
For Chu Hao, who was once an orphan, family and parents were very heavy words, so when he suddenly faced him, he could only face it with an indifferent face.
This is the fifth step, and when you step down, this is what happens in front of you.
Ye Qingmei.
On the tablet, it was Chu Hao's mother, who had never met but had always been in his memory, who died suddenly when Chu Hao was six years old.
And that year, the Chu family lost their housemother, but they had one more young genius.
Chu Hao, perhaps, the original owner of this body, began to use self-mutilation-style unremitting cultivation after every night, which led to the legend of the genius for a period later, and also led to his early death, and finally ushered in him, a person from another world.
"Father. ”
Standing in front of the window, looking at the figure inside, Chu Hao showed a trace of demeanor and a trace of guilt, because the person's whispers all came from himself.
Because of his indifference and estrangement at the beginning, this man was constantly uncomfortable in his heart, and it was only because he had too much responsibility on his body that he couldn't say it, so he would let him whisper in the middle of the night before coming to the spiritual seat of his deceased wife.
But in his previous life, even if he had seen this happen several times, even if his heart had been shaken, he didn't take that step after all and went in to comfort this man.
"I'm sorry, father. ”
He knew that the people inside couldn't hear it, because he was in a hallucination, and he knew that the scene of a qiē was just from his own memory, but he still said it a little self-deceptively after all.
In any case, no one can deny that there is a real blood connection between him and him.
"In this life, I will protect you. ”
With a light sigh, he turned around, but he found that this was like the fourth step, even if he saw through it, he couldn't leave this illusion.
"What's the matter......
"Boom!"
Just when Chu Hao was puzzled, but quickly realized something, in the sky, a golden palm fell from the sky, and then in a violent shaking of a crashing sound, the Chu Mansion was already in ruins.
"Bloody Night in the Royal City!"
For some reason, he felt the vibration when he was in a fantasy world, and even coughed directly from the dust, and then in the cough, he already understood what day this scene came from.
The next moment, the scene had changed.
"Hao'er! Hurry up and find Hao'er for me. ”
In the ruins, Chu Mu continued to search and rescue the surviving Chu family, and at the same time pushed away the guards who came forward to bandage his back wounds, but directly gave an order to find Chu Hao in a fierce drink.
"Father......!"
Chu Hao's face was shocked, looking at the scene that happened in front of him, he remembered that in the previous life, when the Chu Mansion collapsed, he was already in a coma, so this scene was not in his memory at all.
"What the hell is going on!"
"It's fake, it's all fake, it's just an illusion!"
No one answered him, he could only talk to himself, trying to get himself out of this illusion, but the next moment, the scene had changed again, and he saw that in the street full of wailing, Chu Mu was carrying an unconscious teenager and rushing towards the city gate.
"That's ...... Me!"
Like the fourth step, I saw another self, and the young man in front of me was my current self, because his appearance was exactly the same as now.
"Brother Chu, you came just in time, huh?!Why are there only three of you left in the Chu family?! Forget it, I will wait for the five family heads to go out together, or there may be a way to live." ”
And just when Chu Hao was shocked and puzzled, Song Wudao, who was dressed as a wolf, appeared, and there were several other family heads such as Tang Zongzu by his side.
"Good!"
Chu Mu nodded, then put down the young man on his shoulder, and then in the wry smile of Song Wudao and the others, Chu Mu touched the head of the unconscious young man, and said softly: "Hao'er, if you can still practice, at least you can escape alone, but ...... , for his father, he finally failed the Chu family once. ”
"Ling family, if I, Chu Mu, are not dead today, no matter the ends of the earth, no matter what method, I Chu Mu will definitely set foot on your Ling family to avenge the revenge of the year. ”
In the strange look of Song Wudao and the others, Chu Mu handed over the unconscious young man to the only remaining guard beside him, but the next moment, he quickly snatched it back.
And at this moment, in Chu Hao's soft sigh and unbearably closed his eyes, the door behind Song Wudao and the others was smashed with a palm, and then in the dust, in the surprise of Song Wudao and the others, the man smiled and pushed out with a palm again.
In addition to Chu Mu's rapid avoidance, the four masters turned into blood and mud and scattered everywhere.
"No!"
When he clearly smelled the smell of blood, and he didn't know which family master's flesh and blood were directly stained on the corners of his clothes, Chu Hao finally couldn't hold it back and stepped forward.
Regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, Chu Hao knew that the reason for his life in this life was to protect it and let it not come again.
But the next moment......
"Light eyebrows, maybe I'm really not a good father, that's why Hao'er doesn't want to call me father. ”
"No!"
When Chu Hao wanted to take a step forward, he actually returned to the Chu Mansion, before the collapse of the Chu family, at this moment, Chu Hao didn't care about anything, and wanted to enter the ancestral hall directly and tell Chu Mu what was going on.
Absolutely no matter how it happens again, Chu Hao at this moment seems to have completely forgotten what kind of scene he is in, but he has this thought firmly in his heart.
