Chapter 1: Beggars
Ancient Records:
In the ancient era, the sunset and the moon collapsed, the heaven and the earth were forever silent, the ice sea was endless, the abyss was endless, the ancestor gave up his life, hung the sun in the sky, led the moon into the night, came to the abyss alone, locked the resentment of the dead soul in the world, and made the phoenix guard;
Later, Taizu turned into a pillar of heaven and earth and stood in the extreme west, leading the water of the heavenly realm to irrigate the common people.
......
"Don't die...... In the darkness, the voice came, like a ripple on still water, and it was born.
"Who?"
"Come to Life......
"Who?!"
"The sun and the moon are about to collapse......" The voice seemed to come from the bottom of Zhang San's heart, and it reverberated in his mind for a long time.
"How could the sun and the moon collapse?"
"I am full of resentment, and I am unwilling to be separated. β
Zhang San sat up suddenly, because the momentum was too strong, he didn't adapt to it, and his eyes went down again, and it took a long time to sit up again.
"It's getting more and more real, it's getting more and more frequent. Zhang San gritted his teeth and scratched his head, grabbing two or three straws above his head - this was an abandoned ancestral hall, I don't know which dilapidated family belonged to it, but now it has been requisitioned by these little beggars.
There was a snoring sound, and there was more than one.
Zhang San slept with a headache, thinking that we should share weal and woe, and you should not sleep, so he stood up and picked up the broken gong on the desk and knocked it randomly.
For a while, there were many complaints in the ancestral hall, and five or six little beggars got up from the straw, wrinkling their faces one by one, as if they had been wronged.
"Zhang San, what are you doing? It's not dawn yet, why are you crazy?" said a beggar.
"I was awakened by that dream again, I thought I had hit some mold, should I go find a Taoist priest to see?" Zhang San casually threw down the broken gong, which fell to the ground and made another noise.
"Then you can go and see, but you are just a poor beggar, penniless, and full of fleas, who wants to waste his energy on you?"
Zhang San was helpless, but he had something on his mind, and he didn't want to dwell on it anymore, he remembered that there was still something in his arms, so he groped through the rags.
It was a ring, he was born with it, and it was made of very thin material, like silver, and like iron, but for some reason it was not taken, after all, he was born without a father and mother, and he was even vague about how he lived until now, as if he had been a beggar...... He didn't want to think about it, and it was disgusting to go back to the roots.
He never thought of selling this ring for white-flour steamed buns, in his heart he regarded this ring as a part of his body, after all, although he didn't know where he came from, he still remembered the rainstorm when he was a child, and since then, he has only left this ring and red stripes......
"Can you go and change this to a Taoist priest to take a look?" Zhang San hesitated, thinking about breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster, but he didn't have much confidence, for fear that this ring was just scrap iron and had no value.
The ring was pinched between Zhang San's fingers, facing the morning light, but it couldn't reflect the light.
The more I thought about it, the more hot my heart became, and I couldn't bear to be anxious, so I had to get up and go out.
The sky is just a little bright, you can see the road, there are no pedestrians, even if there is, it has nothing to do with him Zhang San, no one will want to get close to a beggar.
Zhang San walked along the road, thinking that there would be about half an hour to buy buns from the stall, then the multigrain shop, then the restaurantβand then there would be a fortune teller wandering the streets.
As a beggar, he naturally has never told fortunes, and the first time he told fortunes, he was a little nervous and didn't know what the process should be.
Walking and walking, Zhang San suddenly saw a figure, the figure carrying a flag and walking over, similar to the fortune teller he had seen on weekdays, but at this time the fortune teller who came out to go shopping was ...... Could it be that I am afraid that I will not have anything to eat when I come out on time?
Xu is heart is worried, or maybe he really doesn't trust, Zhang San passed by the fortune teller, and he didn't open his mouth to scream.
It's just that I didn't expect that the fortune teller who had already made a mistake spoke up: "Child, it's not very peaceful." β
Zhang San knew that it was for him, but he always heard the neighborhood women chatting, saying that the fortune teller took the initiative to say that you are not good and wanted to cheat money, so he scoffed and said, "How can there be a beggar?" After speaking, he walked forward without looking back.
"Haven't you been sleeping well lately?" said the fortune teller.
"I haven't slept well for a day. Zhang San's words were against his will, in fact, he was like a dead pig every time he fell asleep.
"Nightmares?" asked the fortune teller.
Zhang San turned his head at this time, looked at the fortune teller, and said, "How do you know?"
"What do I do?" the old fortune teller was there, and he seemed to be arrogant.
"Can you solve it? I'm about to die of torture!"
"Yes, yes, but ......" the fortune teller stretched out his hand and twisted his fingers.
"I don't have any money. β
"What's that, a waste of time!" the fortune teller immediately shook his face, turned around and left.
"I have a ring, I just don't know if it's worth it. β
As soon as the fortune teller heard this, he immediately stopped his figure, and when he turned around, he smiled again: "Take it and take a look!"
Zhang San took out the ring from the rags around his waist, twisted it and handed it to the fortune teller, who carefully weighed and checked, the smile became worse, and then retracted, handed the ring back to Zhang San, and said: "Just look at it, it's worthless, but you can ask whatever you want, it is considered that this immortal has accumulated virtue and done good deeds today, and sent it to you." β
Zhang San was stunned, he didn't expect such a situation, but since there was a free gift, of course it should not be in vain, so he asked: "How can I expel the nightmare? That dream is so scary, like it wants to drag me into the abyss." β
"It's easy, you just have to put that ring on. The fortune teller said.
"Huh?"
"I just cast a spell on it, and you won't have nightmares when you put it on anyway. β
Zhang San didn't think much about it, and directly put the ring on his hand, the size was just right, he didn't wear it before because the ring was too big, but he didn't expect that he could wear it unconsciously.
"Alright, now you have the Bloodlight Plague. The fortune teller had a cunning face, and smiled as if he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.
"What?"
"I said you had a bloodlight plague. β
"What do you mean?"
"You'll find out soon enough. The fortune teller turned and walked away, no longer lingering, as if the purpose of his trip was only to get the little beggar to take the old ring, "Three days later, come to me in the woods outside the city." The fortune teller continued.
"Where's the woods?"
"You only have to go into the woods to see me. β
The fortune teller was far away from Zhang San step by step, Zhang San wanted to chase but couldn't catch up, I don't know why he walked so fast, on the way back, he kept thinking about the "bloody disaster", and he didn't even know when he arrived at the ancestral hall.
.......
Somewhere, a person seemed to step out of the void, stood behind a wheelchair, threw down the flag in his hand, and helped the wheelchair on.
"Master, you're back. The man in the wheelchair whispered.
"Yes. β
"See that too?"
"Hmm. β
"Can the legs and feet be neat?"
"Not only are the legs and feet sharp, but the eyes are also very sharp. The fortune teller laughed, and began to tear his face, revealing a completely different face from before, except that there were two hollows under his forehead, which looked like skeletons.
"That's a good feeling. The man in the wheelchair laughed.
......
Some people stand on the snowy mountain, the wind and snow are like swords, but there are also real swords flying and wandering in the wind and snow, the sword light is shining, and the snowflakes jingle and ring.
The man beckoned lightly, and the flying sword flew towards him, but it shook for a moment before it was sheathed, and it did not fall into the sheath, but only into the thick solid ice under the snow at the man's feet, and the snow-capped mountain collapsed in response.
A young man staggered out of the collapsed snowdrift, covered in snow, like a white-haired savage.
"Master, why do you want to be angry with this snowy mountain?" the young man complained.
After the snow-capped mountain collapsed under his feet, the swordsman remained in the air, motionless, looking into the distance.
"Master?" The white-haired savage apprentice also stepped on his sword and stepped into the air and came to the swordsman's side.
"Baike, go down the mountain. The swordsman spoke.
"Yes, Master. The apprentice shook off the snow on his body, and without asking the reason, Edgeworth flew south.
......
"Tsuruhei. A Taoist priest looked at the disconnected dust in front of him, his face did not fluctuate, he just shouted.
"Master. The little Taoist priest pushed the door in and saluted.
"There's something coming out of the south, go and see it. The Taoist priest said.
"Yes, Master. The little Taoist priest bowed and retired.
"Wait!"
"What else does Master command?"
"There is someone out of the mountain in Youling, you can go with him, and you can have a companion. β
"White guest?" the little Taoist's eyes lit up.
"It should be. The Taoist priest nodded.
"The apprentice has retired!" When leaving, the little Taoist priest's steps were much brisker.
......
In a field of flowers, the girl stood up, looked to the north, and said curiously: "Master......" But before she finished speaking, she was blocked back.
"Don't look at those, the big things in the world have nothing to do with our women. The woman who was smelling the flowers did not raise her head and eyes, and said.
"But Ji Ling seems to be coming this way. "The girl seems to yearn for something.
"Ji Ling won't move. β
"I mean the little Ji Ling! the little one!" the girl emphasized.
"She's going to be caught soon!"
At the same time, in the south of Tianshui, there was really a red-robed girl who was dragged back to a red mansion with her ears.
