Awakening from a Big Dream Chapter 14 Are There Immortals in the World?
Chen Fan touched the wall of the tunnel, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, a beam of sunlight suddenly appeared in front of him.
For Chen Fan, who has been in the dark, this is like a pool of clear water that he saw after walking in the desert for a long time, and Chen Fan rushed away.
Rush into the light, embrace the sun, and when the gaze returns, clusters of flowers are blooming beautifully, and the trees are full of green cages, which is quite quiet. The blue sky overhead is as blue as a wash, and there are occasional white clouds scattered among them, embellishing the intoxicating scenery.
What's even more surprising is that the four seasons here are like spring, which is really a fairyland on earth. Chen Fanhe has seen natural beauty.
Streams of warmth poured into his body from under his feet, which reminded Chen Fan of an ethereal thing "aura" that he had only seen described in ancient books.
Although he didn't know if the aura mentioned in the book was this thing, after he came here, he felt that the tiredness of his whole body had been washed away, and the qi in his body was running more normally than usual.
He vaguely saw three figures appearing in front, and Chen Fan hurriedly rushed over. He found that no matter how he walked forward, he could never get close to the three people, but he could clearly hear their conversation, so Chen Fan stood there quietly, listening to their conversation.
Then the three of them continued to walk inside, and Chen Fan hurriedly followed.
Walking into the cave, Chen Fan found that the tunnel was engraved with calligraphy and paintings. Now I study it carefully, but I find that what the people in the painting do cannot be done with the power of mortals, the sword flies, a sword opens the mountain, and the clouds and rain.
Chen Fan was amazed when he saw it, but he never dared to believe that this was something that could be done by one person. But since these murals have their reason here, what are they for? Are they just to praise the merits of this man, then the events in them are all fictional, but if they are fictional, how can they be so real? If these are all facts, it is too fantastical, this is not human, is this the "immortal" described in the book?
One of the old men seemed to be muttering to himself, stopped, looked at the wall of the tunnel, and said earnestly, "These are true and false, but we don't know how many are true and how many are false. The other passer-by on the side frowned, and he saw a little bit of cattiness in the mural, and then said, "This is the last immortal master of your Wudang who has ascended, right?" The old man looked back at the latter, shook his head with a smile, and did not answer the question.
Although he only had a few words, Chen Fan still caught a trace of detail from them, Wudang, Immortal Master. Before Chen Fan could think too much, one of them seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was telling Chen Fan a story, only to hear the man look at the mural on the tunnel and remember.
"Under the green mountains, there was once a city, and the people in the city, everyone yearned for the fairy world, and cultivation has become a daily routine. Legend has it that the city was founded by a Wudang Taoist. The city is full of cultivators, and the main city is built according to the position of the five elements and eight trigrams. When the city was built, a blue light shone into the city. That person, in an instant, was blue. Looking up into the air, the sky projected the figure of the person, faintly a few big characters.
The Taoist shook slightly, and wrote: "Practicing the world, the Tao is in the heart, and a wisp of green clothes returns all things to the source." ”
Looking down again, he was dressed in green clothes, and he suddenly felt refreshed, and the spiritual platform was suddenly bright.
After that, the Taoist man gave up his position as the lord of the city, devoted himself to cultivation, and finally attained enlightenment. Daocheng, hidden in the depths of the green mountains.
Until one day, the clouds and thunder rolled, the Taoist finally had an epiphany of life, cut off the mortal dust, step by step into the void, just when the city shouted immortals, only to see that the Taoist roared in the air, a sword cut through the air, dragging the broken body full of blood, returned to Wudang, and left Wudang after talking with the master at that time, but since that day Wudang has been transferred from birth to WTO.
Since then, no Tsing Yi has appeared in that city of cultivating immortals. After that, there were fewer and fewer people practicing in the city, and finally it was reduced to a pile of ruins in time. ”
At first, the old man laughed after hearing this, pointed at the person who spoke, and sneered: "Old ghost, how old are you, you are about to enter the earth, and you still believe in this legend, if it is really as you said, I Wudang really has such a capable person, and I still allow you to compete with us in Longhu Mountain, and I will trample you to death long ago." And the man shook his head helplessly as he listened to the old man who had been fighting with him all his life.
Chen Fan lowered his head and was silent, as if he remembered something Looking at the mural, a name came to mind, and then blurted out, "Qingfeng." ”
The next moment, I saw one of them turn his head to look at Chen Fan's position, and his eyes were like sharp swords, stinging Chen Fan's eyes.
With a painful cry, Chen Fan took a few steps back, and then opened his eyes to find that he had appeared in front of a small town again.
Chen Fan, who was standing in place, his face was full of disbelief, and before he could come back to his senses, a pair of strangely dressed young and old appeared in front of him.
Chen Fan was just about to raise his hand to ask, but the two of them walked straight into the town as if they didn't see him, and Chen Fan hurriedly followed.
"Is this the Immortal City?" asked, the child, who was about five or six years old, looking up at the old man beside him.
"Yes. It used to be a fairy city, but now it's just an ordinary town. An old man next to him said with a smile. "This was once a blessed place for practitioners. ”
"But no one here seems to be wearing green clothes?" the child asked.
The old man stroked his beard and said, "If the Tao is completed, there will be." I didn't expect that after so many years, such an old custom still exists. ”
"Then my illness, can I get better?" the child tilted his head to look at the old man.
"Absolutely. The old man touched the child's head. "If Grandpa is here, you can be fine. Let's find a place to live first. “
An old man and a young man, walking on the street like this, wearing tattered clothes, looked abrupt, came to a hotel, and heard the greeting of Xiao Er as soon as he entered the door.
"Hey, this master, are you sharpening or staying in the store?"
"Grandpa, do you want to stay here?" the child looked inside the inn.
"Yes, you're not in good shape. Of course, a better place to stay. ”
"Call Hanako, hurry up. When the shopkeeper saw that the two of them were going to go here, he immediately changed his face and wanted to drive his grandson away. "This is not where you came from!"
I saw the old man take out a bag from the bag behind him, take out two ingots of silver, and shake it in front of the shopkeeper.
"Can you live?"
"Yes, yes. Look at what you said. After seeing the silver, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up a little, and he immediately changed his mouth. "It's small, and I don't know Tarzan with eyes. ”
"Take this ingot of silver first. Prepare two good sets of clothes. ”
"Okay, please, go to the second floor. ”
The child sees all this. It is said that people should not be good-looking, but it seems that money is still good.
The two went to the room, and the second child was busy looking for clothes.
"Grandpa, is that okay?"
"How?"
"The money is exposed. ”
"It's fine. Grandpa is here. ”
Soon, the shopkeeper brought clothes to the two of them.
One large and one small, two sets of Tsing Yi. Tsing Yi?!The two of them stared at the clothes.
The shopkeeper looked at the sudden change in the expressions of the two of them. "Ahem, dyed by the dyehouse. It's not that kind of Tsing Yi. When outsiders wear this, everyone will know that you are outsiders and will take care of you. ”
"Then thank you for the second brother, you can take this money. ”
"This, how can this be. The shopkeeper took the money with a smile, put it in his mouth and bit it, and smiled even more happily.
"Excuse me, don't we have a real Tsing Yi person?"
"It's gone. I heard my grandfather's grandfather say that since that one, no one in Tsing Yi has appeared. However, now many people go to the depths of the green mountains to cultivate. It is said that the chances of success are higher. The shopkeeper was holding the money in his hand and said in one breath. "You're a foreigner who just arrived, let me remind you that there are a lot of beasts there. ”
"Okay. ”
"If you have something, just call me. Xiao Er exited the room.
"Grandpa, are we going to the depths of the green mountains?"
"Yes. There is a cure for your illness. ”
Chen Fan stood quietly between their grandfather and grandson, from the moment he entered the store, watching countless people pass through his body, Chen Fan understood that he did not exist in this world at this moment, he didn't know what he was doing, but there was a voice in his heart that told him that it was okay to follow the pair of grandfathers and grandsons, so Chen Fan had been following the two of them by virtue of his feelings.
The next day, the two went to the mountains.
Green mountains and deep mountains. Dense woods. On the road, from time to time, an animal popped up, an animal whose name could not be named.
There is also a phantom shadow of the old and the young. The child, pale, struggled to walk. The old man was full of concern, but he was helpless.
Chen Fan wanted to help, but the moment he touched the child's body, Chen Fan's hand passed through the child's body.
Chen Fan looked at his hands, glanced at the pale child, and looked at the pair of grandchildren in front of him unwillingly.
"Grandpa, can you find the Qingfeng Dao Leader when you walk like this? He was a man from a thousand years ago. ”
Qingfeng, this familiar name came to his mind again, Chen Fan wanted to recall this name, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it, and at this moment, the old man spoke.
"It's best to find him. If you can't find it, you can also find the water monster in the deep water pool. I heard that it has a bead that can prolong life. This bead is good for you. The old man said firmly.
Chen Fan quietly looked at the old man in front of him, and for others to think that the old man's thoughts were ignorant, where did the water monster come from, and how did he prolong his life.
But in Chen Fan's eyes, he is an old man who has never given up hope in order to see his grandson. Looking at the two, Chen Fan remembered every bit of himself and the old handsome, and unconsciously a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Fan's mouth.
It's strange to say that Chen Fan followed all the way, and the two of them didn't encounter any beasts along the way.
Walk all the way to the mountains and find the waterhole.
But I saw an old man in Tsing Yi, fishing.
"Grandpa, look, just like us. "The child calls, the old man. "Could he be healing like me?"
"Go over and see. ”
The old man walked up to the old man in Tsing Yi and made a gesture. "Dare to ask Brother Tai, fishing in the mountains, can you get a harvest?"
Chen Fan on the side didn't make an album, just stood there quietly and looked at the old man in front of him who was rumored to be amazing, Qingfeng.
Although he saw Qingfeng for the first time, a voice in his heart told him that the old man in front of him was the old man Qingfeng who had been talking to those people before.
Because he knew that Qingfeng Lao Dao couldn't see himself, Chen Fan stood aside and carefully looked at this suspicious old man.
"One old and one young. And what Chen Fan didn't know was that when he was looking at the breeze, the latter glanced at the place where Chen Fan was without a trace, and then replied slowly.
"Please make it clear. The old man did it again.
"This kid is destined for me. The resulting disease is rare for thousands of years. The meridians are occluded, and the qi and blood flow backwards. It doesn't look like he will survive more than three days. It's not easy to survive until now. ”
"Brother Tai, his eyes are like torches. The old man said respectfully. "What's the cure?"
"There is no cure. The old man in Tsing Yi tugged on the fishing rod and said leisurely. "If you catch a living creature today, you may be saved. “
Suddenly, the child's blood surged, his chest was stuffy, and a mouthful of blood spit out.
The old man hurried over to hold the child.
"Grandpa, am I going to die?"
"......," the old man did not speak.
In the waterhole, a dark figure swam back and forth. It seems to come in search of the smell of blood.
"Providence. The old man in Tsing Yi said slowly, shook his hand, and the fishing rod ran straight towards the black shadow.
A dark shadow appears. A snake-like water monster soars into the air.
The old man in Tsing Yi pointed with his hand. The monster rolled in its belly and spat out a bead from its mouth. Then, the old man in Tsing Yi rushed over and slapped at the body of the water monster.
Slowly, the monster's body changed.
The old man in Tsing Yi suddenly turned to the child and slapped the child on the back. The child spurted out a mouthful of blood, sprayed on the water monster, and fainted.
The water monster twitched for a while, and its body made a "crackling" sound, and slowly transformed into a dragon form.
The water monster let out a long howl. Soar into the sky. Circling around the heads of the old man and the child in Tsing Yi.
The old man in Tsing Yi took out the beads and put them in the child's mouth.
The child's body is hot and red in an instant. After a while, it turned white and chilled. And so on for 3 hours.
The child fell asleep.
"Dude. Thanks a lot. The old man stopped and bowed deeply to the old man in Tsing Yi.
"Not necessarily. The old man in Tsing Yi stopped. "As I said, you and I are destined. This bead can only preserve qi and blood and can prolong life. But it could not cure him. “
"When I introduce the flying dragon into his body, the physical disease can be eliminated, but he needs to be here with me, guarding the waterhole. ”
"As long as you can do it, you can do anything. ”
The old man in Tsing Yi changed his hand to summon the flying dragon in the sky and guide it into the child's body. The flying dragon, which is illusory as green smoke, pours into the top of the child's head.
When the child is momentary, the green smoke is added. After a long time, the green smoke disappeared.
Child, open your eyes. The eyes are blue. The height also seems to be a bit taller.
Child, bow your head. I found that I was no longer wearing the clothes I was wearing, but as if I were nothing, it was light and shiny.
"Is this Tsing Yi?"
"Grandpa, my body seems to have changed!"
"Although it has not been exchanged for blood and marrow, it is also the body of a dragon. From now on, you and your grandfather will stay here and watch over the waterhole. The old man in Tsing Yi looked at his grandson. "You may call me, Breeze. ”
Breeze?!
Okay! We're here to stay!
Hearing the two agree, Qingfeng returned to the stone and sat down with the fish.
And only Chen Fan was left stunned in place, and now he has not recovered from the shock just now, flying dragons, empowerments, water monsters.
It was the same this time, before Chen Fan could think about it, a pitch-black cave appeared under his feet, and because he was defenseless, Chen Fan fell down smoothly.
What Chen Fan didn't know was that at the moment he fell, Qingfeng, who was sitting on the stone, took a deep look at where Chen Fan was. He muttered, "Live, try to live!"
