Chapter 1: A Lotus in the Eternal Sky
One of the three thousand realms, all in the middle of the wide realm.
The early morning sun swayed, still unable to penetrate the heavy dark clouds, like a black curtain, covering the sky, in which the thunder flickered, like a dragon suddenly appeared!
Like a light rain, it falls into the endless majestic mountains, and the emerald color turns into a deep green, which is added to the haze by the drizzle.
Under the green hills, there is a village, living near the water, the drizzle falls into the river, the calm river surface is rippling, the water droplets bounce up, and they turn into hands and feet, just like water fairies.
They picked up the willow leaves that fell into the water, rushed to the center of the river, and in less than three breaths, they turned into water and melted into the river.
The steaming water is like a light veil, adding a touch of tranquility to the village.
The early morning came, although there was no morning sun, but a trace of cooking smoke was rising, but there was no smoke.
I saw that this family was located on the edge of the village, it was a thatched house, the courtyard was broken, and the courtyard wall had collapsed a lot, and the yellow mud-infused roof wall had already cracked due to the light rain, as if it would collapse at any time.
In the house, it is even more simple, a kang, a table and a stove, that's all, and there is a smell of its incomparably smelly.
There was a corpse on the kang, which had long been decomposed, and the thick yellow corpse water flowed down the corpse, and the white maggots wriggled on its rotting flesh......
Beside the corpse of the peasant woman there was a child, about three years old, not yet grown, and his thin body was wrapped in a patched linen garment, and his face was as yellow as a bamboo squire.
There was also a birthmark on his cheek like a drop of blood, red as blood, spreading down from the right corner of the eye, passing through the cheek, and not ending until the jaw, like a bloody tear!
The child's eyes stared at the corpse with a blank eye, and he did not move away for a moment.
The room was frighteningly quiet, except for the weak heartbeat of a child and the faint sound of breathing.
From the aisle of the village, I walked two men in robes, carrying hoes on their backs, and their calloused soles were covered with mud, and it seemed that they had gone down to the ground early in the morning because they were worried about the water in the fields due to the continuous drizzle.
Passing by the thatched hut, I couldn't help but look towards the courtyard.
"Alas, the hard-working baby, Li's body is weak, it's raining again, I'm afraid I didn't get up to make some food for the baby this morning!" A black-faced man with a hoe on his back sighed.
"Lao Yin, don't worry about other people's affairs, that baby was born to kill his father, and now his mother is infected by Ke, which is already a hindrance, so don't mix it indiscriminately. Another man frowned and persuaded.
He avoided the child like a snake and scorpion between his words!
"You are superstitious, what kind of doll is it, I can't look past it, I have to go and see!" The black-faced man surnamed Yin choked and said in a choked voice, and he was about to go towards the small courtyard.
"You old stubborn donkey, you say I'm superstitious, so what's the matter with this doll's father being shot to death by a black bear in the mountains just after he was born?" the other man glared and persuaded.
The steps of the black-faced man surnamed Yin couldn't help but be stunned.
"And after giving birth to him, Li's body is weak, but he used to be able to carry a few loads of rice to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads, and the baby was born dumb, and the birthmark is also a bad thing, Brother Wang's daughter-in-law next door looked at it more than a month ago and couldn't afford to be sick, and it was only a few days ago. ”
The man added, and as he spoke, he pulled the man surnamed Yin away.
"It's all a coincidence, don't scare people all day long!" the man surnamed Yin shook his head and glanced at the man.
"Don't you believe it, how do you explain the blue light of the Li family's doll when she was born three years ago? It's almost time for the sun to brighten, it must be a bad thing to reincarnate and harm people, and I am also for your good!" the man's eyes widened, and he argued with reason.
As soon as he said this, the black-faced man surnamed Yin finally wavered, looked at the thatched hut hidden in the hazy drizzle, and sighed......
The figures of the two men with hoes on their backs and dressed in lily clothes gradually disappeared into the muddy path.
The sound of conversation came clearly into the hut through the sound of the rain falling, and the child clasped his hands on his knees, his empty eyes still staring at the rotting corpse, the ...... It's his mother......
His stomach was already growling with hunger, his petite and thin body was shivering from the moisture of the room, and his lips were blue, but the child seemed to be unaware of it, and remained motionless.
Only the blood-red birthmark engraved on the little face was like a burning blood flame, beating endlessly......
The rain is getting heavier, and the world seems to be soaked in water vapor at this moment, hazy and picturesque......
In the dark clouds covering the sky, the thunder light is like a dragon breaking through the sea, shuttling endlessly, thick and depressing, and the rolling thunder is as deafening as a heavenly drum.
In the thunderclouds, there was a figure, and I saw a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe standing in the thundercloud, and the rolling thunder could not get close to him at all.
The momentum of the body is like a boundless sea, and the blood-colored light is as dazzling as a ruby, steaming up from its body, soaring into the sky, and its body is covered with a layer of jade light, warm and moist like water.
But with his momentum, he rushed away from the thunder and stood in the void.
I saw a middle-aged man in this robe, with a high forehead, a full face, a sparse beard on his face, and a slightly messy bun, showing a sense of vicissitudes.
A pair of black eyes were like electricity, and the spiritual light flickered in them, and he muttered: "It's been three years, and the immortals have been found one after another, and there are two that have fallen on my Kunwu Hill, why haven't you found the other one yet?"
The tone was full of helplessness, and the white light in his hand flashed, and there was a bronze mirror with a patina color, urging with one hand, and shining down casually.
At this moment, under the illumination of the mirror light, suddenly, a blue light filled the sky, reaching up to the green underworld, and the void was shaking like chaff under the illumination of this blue light.
The black cloud curtain that shrouded thousands of miles was directly disintegrated into nothingness by this pillar of blue light that rose to the sky, and the blue light was overwhelming, and it collapsed into a sea of clouds for thousands of miles!
The Dao-robed man standing in the void was dumbfounded, standing on the void in a daze, and hurriedly looked towards the source of the blue light.
But he was immediately turned snow-white by the dazzling blue light, and when he could see again, he was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him......
I saw a green lotus standing in the void, the lotus is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is!
There are five leaves, the flower blooms twenty-four petals, swaying and living, covering the sky and the sun, the blue light rushes into the sky, the leaf is so big, the shadow it casts, enough to cover a mountain range.
The lotus petals are surrounded by gray mist, like dust gathering, looking at the past, where is the dust, it is clear that there are eternal stars!
The whole lotus flower is cyan, like the most beautiful thing in the world, flawless and beautiful, and there is a blood-colored lotus petal in it, which is extremely eye-catching.
At this moment, it is like heaven and earth, only this lotus is left, as long as it is there, it is the only one, it is really a lotus in the eternal blue sky, and the air collapses into the sky!
The green lotus is swaying, even if it is thousands of miles away, you can still see the green lotus in the void.
At this moment, the children in the hut frowned slightly, and their empty eyes finally stopped looking at the rotting corpse, but looked upward, as if they could see the blue lotus through the roof.
At this moment, the child's eyes gradually became more refined at this moment, and in the depths of the pitch-black pupils, two green lotuses were engraved and slowly swirling.
The blood marks on his cheeks were like a beating blood-colored flame at this moment, burning violently.
Where do you still look like some stupid child?
At this moment, the people in the village were all alarmed by this movement, the dark clouds collapsed, and the early morning sun sprinkled down like gold, looking towards the sky, only to see a blue lotus through the sky, bathed in the morning light, swaying.
It was shocking, and it hit people's hearts, and everyone looked at the sky dumbfounded......
At this moment, the middle-aged man in the Dao robe standing in the void reacted, remembered the key, and hurriedly withdrew the bronze mirror in his hand.
Everything just now is like a mirage, but the cloudless clear sky is a real record of the scene that just happened.
The man in the Taoist robe who received the bronze mirror, without saying a word, rushed down like a sharp arrow piercing the clouds, and a dazzling eye appeared in the courtyard of the thatched house......
With a wave of his sleeves, all the living creatures in the village fainted in an instant, and no one could see what was happening.
Then he hugged his fists and said: "Mu Xingqiu of the Creation Taoist Sect visited the seniors, and asked the seniors to move to the Taoism, and I will help the seniors to practice the Dao!"
Mu Xingqiu can be described as sonorous, with a sound on the ground, and his body bowed straight.
You must know that this is a monk who has stepped on the void and his momentum has collapsed, and he is so respectful to the children of a mountain village at this moment.
A full stick of incense has passed, there is no echo in the house, Mu Xingqiu's forehead is already sweating, judging from the world Qinglian just now, this person was by no means an easy person in his previous life, and if he said it just now, he wouldn't anger him, right?
An hour passed, and there was still no response, and he didn't dare to use his divine sense to investigate, for fear of angering the existence in it, Mu Xingqiu's face was already like a blank paper, but he still didn't move.
Immediately, the firmness in his eyes flashed, and he gently pushed open the door of the house, and the sky-high stench that suddenly came from the house, and Mu Xingqiu, who was smoking, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The next moment, everything in the room made him unable to say a word. I don't know what it's like in my heart......
I saw a three-year-old child, extremely thin and sallow, standing in the middle of the house, with his back to Mu Xingqiu, staring straight at the rotting corpse......
Mu Xingqiu knew that it was his mother, and it seemed that he had been dead for three or four days, and the child had been guarding it like this, like a fool.
As the minutes ticked by, the child stood motionless on the ground, guarding his mother's corpse.
And Mu Xingqiu was the same, he didn't say a word, like a wooden stake at the door, and there was silence in the village......
Seven days had passed, and the child watched his mother's corpse decompose, his little body trembling, and he didn't know what it was like.
"Let's go......"
The immature children's voice came, with a hint of milk, but the will contained in it was unshakable.
"I don't know the name of my predecessors, but I still hope to teach you!" Mu Xingqiu lowered his head and hugged his fist.
The child slowly turned around, his thin and petite body seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind at any time, and said softly: "Qinglian ......"
The two slowly rotating green lotuses in a pair of delicate eyes gradually fell silent and returned to their emptiness again.
"That surname ......," Mu Xingqiu hesitated.
"Hmm...... The surname is Li!" Li Qinglian turned her head, looked at the dry bones, her eyes were shining with a little light, and she stepped out of the hut with a firm step......
