Volume 1: Born to Be a Hero Chapter 18: When I Wake Up from a Dream
Yes!!!
With a terrible sound, He Yi suddenly woke up from his dream, only to feel a headache and a cold sweat.
It turned out to be a dream!
He opened his eyes to the sky and gasped for air.
I don't know when it began, the scene ten years ago, the defeat, the desert and the escape, gradually became his inner demon.
Whenever he was haggard, the scene would be like a ferocious beast, unconsciously jumping out and tearing at his will.
Father, Chen Tai, Jin Xuan, Cao Jin, Huang Liang, Huang Cai, Liu Zhian......
These familiar faces appeared in He Yi's mind one by one, like a marquee constantly rotating in his mind.
He clutched his head in pain and struggled for a while before he gradually quieted down, and then suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously looked around vigilantly.
What caught my eye was several broken wolf corpses.
"Moon Snow White Wolf..."
He almost forgot that he was still in the snowy fields of the Northern Wilderness.
There was a faint fishy smell in the air, and he carefully looked at the corpses of the moon wolves, which had basically been gnawed by other beasts, and even bones had been exposed in some places.
"Have there been other beasts here, how long have I been unconscious......" He Yi rubbed his head in pain.
At the moment when he lowered his head, his body suddenly became stiff.
He Yi was stunned.
He was horrified to see his leg bones.
Yes, their own leg bones.
Like the corpses of those moon snow white wolves, there are a lot of traces of being eaten by wild beasts on his thighs, calves, and soles, and even the white bones of the forest have been exposed in some places.
The rest of the minced flesh, half-hung on the bare bones, looked very horrible.
He Yi subconsciously reached out to touch it, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.
"It's... What's going on?" In the huge shock and shock, He Yi quickly turned his shirt and sleeves up, and everywhere he looked, there were tooth marks and broken flesh.
There was barely a single intact thing left on his entire body!
Now He Yi looks like a living corpse!
"How did I end up like this..."
"Why am I unconscious..."
"I ...... How is it possible, how is it possible to survive?"
“......”
Everything in front of him is really beyond the scope of He Yi's cognition.
As if he had lost his soul, he remained motionless, snow falling and burying him around him.
After a long time, a huge red-eyed grizzly bear gradually approached, sniffed a few times beside He Yi, and then left with a disgusted face.
Not long after, two more vicious fanged hyenas passed by He Yi, watching He Yi vigilantly, and quickly snatched away a fairly intact wolf corpse, but ignored He Yi from beginning to end.
Obviously, neither the grizzly bear nor the hyena regarded He Yi as a living person or thing that could be eaten.
"Is it because of the possession of evil spirits and the addition of karma that I have become such an inhuman and ghostly appearance?"
"Then what is my existence?"
"Is it a human, or is it a ghost?"
After the shock, He Yi began to think.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is a blessing to have survived after fainting in such a completely exposed place.
After a slight hesitation, he put his hands on his face, feeling the smooth curve of his face, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this face was finally gnawed by a wild beast.
If his body is broken, he can still cover it with clothing, but if this face is broken, then even if he can really escape from the snow, he will not be able to see people again.
After sorting out his thoughts, He Yi looked around.
It was still the same mess as before he fainted, but the camp tent that had been knocked down by the wolves was strangely re-erected at this time.
This could never have been done by a beast, and it seemed that there were other people who had been here during the time he was unconscious.
He got up and entered the tent, and sure enough, there were the bodies of a man and a woman in the open space inside the tent.
The two hugged each other and died.
The woman's head was leaning against the man's arms, one arm was wrapped around the man's neck, and the man put his hand on the woman's waist, looking very intimate.
"Cultivator?"
He Yi took a closer look at the clothes of these two people, they were all crane feather clothes, and this kind of clothes would only appear on monks.
Perhaps, these two people are a pair of immortals.
But why did you die here?
In a corner of He Yi's tent, he found the Demon Slaying Sword he had used earlier, plus seven or eight fist-sized ornate brocade bags, which were specially used by cultivators to store items, something called the "Qiankun Bag".
He Yi tried to open one of them to see what could be used inside, but the red rope tied to the bag was like a hammered iron rope, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it in the slightest.
In desperation, He Yi could only put these things away for the time being.
Continuing to walk around the tent, there was nothing new to discover, and when He Yi was about to leave, the corner of his eye fell on the palms of the man and woman clasping tightly.
He suddenly found that in the palm of the two of them, a blood-stained cloth horn was particularly dazzling under the frozen white skin.
It seemed like a bloody letter.
After a slight hesitation, He Yi gently pulled out the blood-stained silk.
When I opened it, it was densely packed with hundreds of words, but it explained the origin of these two people.
It reads:
I was born in Pingwu for five years, since I was a child fond of poetry and books, how can I be stupid and dull, and only in the year of establishment did I take the position of Jinshi, to the age of not confused, still do not raise the posture of a person, sad and ridiculous! As the saying goes, I know the destiny of heaven at fifty, and I am riddled with dampness, physical and mental pain, and I am unable to do the imperial examination again, so I live in seclusion on the coast and seek self-enjoyment...... (omitted later)
The first half of the scroll is the author's own account, and it is written about some things that happened before the man's practice.
Countless times to go to Beijing to take the exam, countless times the name of Sun Mountain, everywhere by people white-eyed ridicule, until the year of the Mandate of Heaven, the matter was lightened, so he chose to go to the coastal seclusion.
"Five years on weekdays, five years on weekdays..."
He Yi repeated it several times, this Pingwu year is already the era name of the previous dynasty, and after calculating the age of this man, he is nearly ninety years old.
But the appearance of this person in front of him, where is there a trace of white hair? No matter how you look at it, he is only in his twenties...
Moving on, it is written about the man's experience of cultivation over the years.
After letting go of the obsession in his heart, the man's state of mind rose several realms one after another, and his heart and eyes were completed, and he gave birth to a peerless spiritual root overnight, and his understanding and root bones were excellent, which was unprecedented.
"The human heart is unstained, the heart is calm and natural, the way this person uses is somewhat similar to the legendary Buddha Shakyamuni, who participated in meditation and enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and realized the Tao in one night?"
Because of his qualifications, this man was accepted as a disciple by a cultivator.
But what I didn't expect was that this man's comprehension was too domineering, and he had a peerless spiritual root, and in less than three spring and autumn periods, his cultivation had far surpassed his master who had been cultivating for more than three hundred years, and his appearance began to become younger and younger.
It was also from this time that his master began to alienate him, snub him, and even ...... I want to kill him!
His master tried to dig out his immortal roots and refine them into an elixir that could improve his qualifications!
Because the man had no defense against his master, one night, the master who attacked him abolished his cultivation, dug out the spiritual root, and almost died, and finally escaped from the mountain gate with the help of his junior sister.
And his junior sister is the female corpse in front of him.
From this moment on, the man saw for the first time the inferior roots of the cultivators, who were stronger but more jealous and selfish than anyone else.
Later, the man became enlightened again, returned to the immortal gate, and personally killed his teacher to avenge the great revenge.
