Chapter 50: Like a Dream
Wu Wei put away his mind, at this time, his whole person was integrated with the gray gas, outsiders saw its existence at all, and he exuded his divine consciousness to wander in this gray space, like a ghost.
As the range of walking out became farther and farther, the gray gas around him changed strangely again, and after about half an hour, Wu Wei walked to a hill and looked away, and everything in front of him once again subverted his imagination.
I saw a dreamlike gray world appear in front of me, and in the distance, between the heavens and the earth, mountains, grass, lakes, and the sun, moon and stars are all condensed from gray gas.
More closely, the smoke-filled villages, rivers, streams, fertile fields, and livestock are all made of ash gas, and the picture is lifelike and like substance.
"Is this a dream?" A cold mountain breeze gently blew, and Wu Wei couldn't help but shudder, and his heart was in a trance.
Soon he came back to his senses from his sluggish state, and unconsciously reached out and touched the stone under his feet, which was actually substantial, and he picked up a small stone and went to the depression not far away, and the stone fell into the water with a clanging sound.
"This isn't an illusion, could it be that my cultivation of the Soul Snatching Technique has gone mad?"
Wu Wei began to suspect that his consciousness had deviated, the world in front of him looked ethereal and extremely unreal, but the eyes could deceive him, but the sense of touch was real.
At that moment, the smell of barbecued meat wafted through the air in the mountains, and as I listened closely, a small conversation could be heard behind a bush in the distance.
"What the hell is this world..."
Now he was almost sure that this gray space was an unbelievably strange world, but his mind was full of questions.
After a moment's hesitation, he walked towards the place where the sound had come, and soon he walked around the longing bushes, and saw before him two teenagers sitting around a pile of firewood, roasting game with great interest, both of whom were condensed with gray gas in their eyes, apparently like the mountains and rivers.
Wu Wei's figure was like a ghost around the two teenagers, but he didn't act rashly, although the two of them seemed to be just mortals, he was still cautious and observed for a while.
I only heard one of the younger teenagers look worried, and said timidly: "Brother Mu, we stole Aunt Wang's chickens, if our mother finds out, will we be beaten with sticks?"
"Why are you still so timid, this is not the first time you have stolen, as long as you don't tell it, no one will know. Another slightly older boy held a skewered roast chicken on a tree branch and counted the dots while roasting it skillfully.
"It's justβ" The younger boy still seemed to be relieved, and muttered quietly for a while.
"Alright, don't worry about it. When the meat is cooked, eat it quickly, and I will go to the mountains to collect medicine later. β
The older boy tore off half of the roasted chicken and handed it to the other boy, and the two of them ate it with great interest.
Wu looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, the memories of his childhood came to his heart like a tide, once upon a time he was just like the two pheasant boys in front of him, which suddenly made him feel so kind and real.
It's just that he immediately recovered from his sudden expression, and the scene in front of him was like an illusory, as if the image in his memory was reflected.
"I still have to ask in person..."After thinking about it, his mind moved, and after his divine consciousness was released, he locked on the slightly older boy Zhihai, and said, "Do you know what kind of place this is?"
The slightly older boy only felt a sudden buzzing sound in his head, like a lightning strike, his face suddenly turned blue and white, and he still maintained the movement of gnawing on chicken legs, and his body really didn't dare to move.
The young man in front of him was resolute, he first looked around for a while, there was no one in the four fields, but the voice was close to his ears, he almost didn't think about it, and hurriedly threw away the chicken leg and said very respectfully in the direction from which the voice came: "Tell the immortal seniors, this is Majiazhuang..."
When Wu Wei heard the word 'senior', he immediately wanted to laugh in his heart, but he quickly remembered that he was transmitting the divine consciousness to such a mortal young man, and it was already extremely extraordinary that the other party did not faint in fright. And although his voice sounded like he was in his thirties, his actual age was not much older than the teenager in front of him.
"I mean a wider range of place names. Wu Wei softened his tone and explained patiently.
"Incense Town. The young man thought for a while, for their remote village, the bigger place could only be the town, and he felt a little strange about Wu Wei's question, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he replied respectfully.
In fact, the boy grew up listening to the elders in the village talk about anecdotes, and he knew that there were immortals in this world who could fly to the sky, elusive, ethereal, and unreachable existence.
Wu Wei sighed secretly when he heard this: "It seems that I still have to find a place where there are monks and ask, so that I can really figure it out..."
Seeing that the other party did not respond, the young man was apprehensive for a while, and his back was soaked in cold sweat at this moment, but his heart was more full of excitement, because he saw the legendary 'immortal', and at this moment he was still looking forward to the 'immortal' to ask more questions.
Wu Wei retracted his mind and said lightly to the young man: "You guys continue to eat..."
When the young man heard this, his face suddenly became anxious, he plucked up his courage, and solemnly knelt down in the direction where Wu Wei was and said, "Immortal, can I worship you as a teacher?"
Although the boy grew up in the bad water of the poor village, but the rumors about the immortals have also heard a lot in the ancestors, he has been very yearning for the identity of the 'immortals' since he was a child, and now he sees people like Wu Wei who don't see him, only hear his voice, and he is sure that he should be the legendary immortal, he wants to miss it, and he may never see it again in this life.
"Apprenticeship?"
Wu Wei, who had just taken a few steps, suddenly smiled in surprise, he was just a rookie who had just stepped into cultivation, how could he afford to be a teacher, and at this moment he was still being chased into this desperate situation, and it was unknown whether he could get out alive.
He turned to look at the two teenagers not far away, the younger one had already fainted from fright, and the older one was kneeling to him with reverent eyes.
He remembered the warm scene that touched his heart just now, and stretched out his hand with a wave, wanting to attract spiritual power and want to help the young man up, but after thinking about it, he withdrew the spiritual power in his body, and said, "If there is a chance, we should see you again." β
The young man was lying on the ground in fear, and suddenly heard the other party say this, and suddenly showed excitement, thanked him again and again, and said, "Thank you, master..."
Wu Wei shook his head helplessly, smiled dumbly, and after a little silence, he didn't say anything more, and then his figure flashed, and he flew towards the gray mist in front of him.
