Chapter 2 Stealing a glimmer of life
It's by no means an ordinary baby, and you can figure it out with your roots.
The red-robed old demon has no yang root, he doesn't have to think about it to understand.
It's a monster, but it doesn't look like it, it's clearly no different from ordinary children, half a year old, and that pink face is cute.
The red-robed old demon still didn't dare to approach, so he stood there and watched, and when he was sleepy, he squatted down and continued to watch, even though he was hungry and protested, and he didn't realize it.
As if he was enchanted, the red-robed old demon watched it like this for a night and a day, and it was not until the evening of the next day that he was awakened by the subtle cry of the baby.
As if he was exhausted, he sat on the ground, and his heart was turbulent, and it was difficult to calm down. Through this observation day by night, he found that the baby in swaddling clothes not only had a sea of flowers all over the mountains to help gather spiritual power, but also absorbed the essence of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night.
Heaven and earth are beautiful, the sun is fine and the moon is blooming, this baby can be used for his own use without even moving his fingers, what kind of terrible existence is it!
The red-robed old demon finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to go up and check it out, because the baby's cry seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. That baby is the only one in the world, but no one can be sure what he is, whether he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.
Such a small life, if you don't eat for a day and a night, your body may not be able to withstand it.
The red-robed old demon naturally also considered having spiritual support, the baby may not be so fragile, but he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. At this moment, the red-robed old demon had already made a calculation in his heart, whether the baby was a human or a monster, if there was no danger, he would take it away first.
In the future, it will be used for alchemy and medicine, depending on the situation. If it helps to restore cultivation or regrow yang roots, then it will be practiced into an elixir, and it will be helpless.
With this in mind, the red-robed old demon approached the baby step by step, and as he approached, the baby's cry became louder and louder.
Hearing the cry, the red-robed old demon's heart became more stable, which made him feel that the baby was not in danger, as if he was begging for help.
When he came to him, the baby immediately stopped crying. The red-robed old demon hesitated for a moment, stared at the baby and observed carefully, and saw that the baby's eyes were bright and shining, but his complexion was not very good-looking, as if it was caused by malnutrition.
Looking at the swaddling clothes again, it is a piece of white cloth with fine workmanship, and the material is strange, unlike any kind of cloth in the world. There is a flower embroidered on the fabric, which is very similar to the blue flowers blooming here, but if you look closely, you feel that it is different, and the flowers on the fabric are more like lotus flowers.
The red-robed old demon pondered for a while before he decided that the flower embroidered on the cloth was indeed a lotus flower, but the flower of this flower bed was only like a lotus but not a lotus flower.
He didn't know that these blue flowers were ghost flowers.
There was also a thumb-thick rope tied to the swaddling clothes, which was wrapped around twice. This rope is inconspicuous, and the old demon in the red robe can see its extraordinaryness at a glance, and the extraordinary thing is that even he can't see the origin of this rope.
Is there any magic weapon in the world that his red-robed old demon can't recognize? It's the dragon tendon and phoenix feather, and he has also seen it.
The red-robed old demon stretched out his trembling hand and tried to touch the rope.
There is no danger, the texture of the rope is rough, and it is not seen to be of any use, but it makes people feel that it is absolutely extraordinary.
The red-robed old demon picked up the swaddling clothes and held them in his arms. At first, I was a little apprehensive, but after two breaths, nothing abnormal happened, and a big stone in my heart was slightly lowered.
The baby opened its little eyes and looked at the face of the red-robed old demon, and actually babbled and laughed.
With the laughter, the bloodshot dim moon that had just risen in the twilight regained its light in an instant, and the hideous and terrifying blood stains slowly faded. The red-robed old demon accidentally discovered this scene, and his heart was shocked.
Before he could calm down, the red-robed old demon found an even more peculiar scene. The blue flowers all over the mountains also withered at this moment, and the pieces quickly withered, submerged into the soil, and there was no trace of them.
The sea of flowers seems to have never appeared, and there is no trace of it, if it weren't for the baby in his arms still babbling, the red-robed old demon would definitely feel that he was in a dream.
Everything came too suddenly, and when the red-robed old demon cleared his thoughts, the entire mountain range had returned to its normal scene, there was no sea of flowers, and there was no faint blue light, just an ordinary deep valley, with the faint sound of gurgling water and the sound of insects at night.
It seems a little empty and lonely.
The red-robed old demon's state of mind also calmed down, took a deep breath, and looked at the baby in his arms, who was also looking at him.
"What's your name?" asked the red-robed old demon.
The baby babbles and laughs.
The red-robed old demon carefully checked the baby's condition and found that it was a boy with an extremely weak body. It is unheard of for such a weak baby to be able to talk and laugh.
Although the red-robed old demon had lost his cultivation, he could also see that the baby's physical condition was very bad based on experience alone. The spiritual veins are all broken, the roots and bones are missing, the cultivation is completely hopeless, the meridians are all destroyed, the flesh and blood are sealed, and as an ordinary person, he has already died hundreds of times, how can he still live until now?
What a freak.
The red-robed old demon pondered and meditated, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed.
Yes, it is those flowers that are renewing your life, allowing you to absorb the heavens and the earth, the essence of the sun, and the moon, so that you can steal a glimmer of life.
But now that the flowers are gone, will you survive?
The baby was babbling and laughing again.
The red-robed old demon smiled: "I don't think you are a natural treasure, and you can't refine any elixir." If you survive, I will raise you up and take you as an apprentice, what do you think?"
The baby was still babbling and laughing, but this time he raised his delicate little hand and wanted to grab the old face of the red-robed old demon.
The red-robed old demon was shocked, hurriedly caught the baby's small palm and probed it, and immediately exclaimed: "Strange and strange, strange and strange! The meridians are all repaired! The blood is also flowing......
The world is unpredictable, and the red-robed old demon never dreamed that one day, he would have to raise a half-old baby by himself.
"If I can survive, you will survive. ”
The red-robed old demon cut off the head of a highly venomous snake, and carried the snake's body upside down to feed the baby blood, and the baby sucked the severed neck of the snake as if drinking milk.
The more venomous the snake, the more it is tonified, the baby is too small to eat anything, and the red-robed old demon has been feeding him blood for the past few days.
"You drink blood, I eat meat, my glimmer of life is your glimmer of life. ”
When the baby was full, he looked at the red-robed old demon babbling and laughing.
"You're happy, you don't understand my suffering. The red-robed old demon said while roasting the snake on the fire, "I don't even dare to go out of this mountain, I'm afraid I'll hide in the mountain for the rest of my life." It's all for you, if I'm alone, I can run anywhere. ”
The baby smiled happily, and a large patch of snake blood remained on his mouth.
"You don't have a name yet, and I don't know who your parents are or what their last names are. Since you are messing with me, then I will simply help you come up with a name, my name is Zhuge Guang, and you will be called Zhuge Xie in the future, how about it?"
"If you don't object to me, you'll acquiesce. Zhuge Xie, let me ask you, would you like to worship me as a teacher? If you don't want to, just say it, and if you don't say it, you will acquiesce. ”
"Okay, since you agreed, then go to the teacher...... If you can't even stand up, the apprenticeship will be waived. ”
......
The Forget Worry Mountain is majestic and magnificent, and several peaks are connected. On the north side, the mountain slows down, and there is a small village at the foot of the mountain, with more than a dozen families.
Forget the village at the foot of the mountain, this is the place.
On this day, a little old man came to the village with a baby in his arms.
The little old man was thin and small, with a sparse goatee on his chin, half of which he could tell had been glued to himself. The little old man claimed to be surnamed Zhuge , but because of the change in his family, his relatives were lost, and he was left with a grandson to raise alone, living in the mountains.
This time I went down the mountain to exchange the mountain goods for a little white rice, which was used to boil rice soup for my grandson to drink, and by the way, I would change some clothes to make clothes.
The villagers were willing to help when they saw that the baby was cute and the little old man was generous. Someone also persuaded the little old man to move to the village to live, but the little old man always politely refused, saying that he only wanted to live in the mountains.
In the future, the little old man would come to the village from time to time to change things, and when everyone got acquainted with each other, they called the little old man Lao Zhuge . In the eyes of the villagers, Lao Zhuge has a bit of a sharp voice, a girl, like a woman, his little goatee is getting rarer and rarer day by day, and later it is all sticky.
"Old Zhuge , when are you going to teach me the tricks?" After he could speak, Zhuge Xie asked the most question, and this was it.
Whenever this happens, Zhuge Guang always smiles mysteriously, and then asks rhetorically: "Do you know what a woman is?"
"Aren't those aunts who wash clothes by the stream down the mountain just women?"
"I said it last time, it doesn't count. ”
Zhuge Xie shook his little head: "Then what is a woman?"
"I can't tell you that if you don't understand, it's not time to learn the Fa. Zhuge Guang said, "I Yuexian Pavilion's Taoism, I don't understand that women can't learn it." Go, shoot me a wild boar and come back, you don't have a good little body to exercise, and you don't know how many years you can live. ”
Watching Zhuge go out with a bow and arrow, Zhuge Guang had mixed feelings in his heart. It's been seven years, and it's not easy to nest in this mountain.
Looking back on the past, the anger in Zhuge Guang's heart still hasn't disappeared.
Zhuge Mao, you cut off my yang root and ruined my cultivation, and now I teach an apprentice to take revenge on you!
This subset of the creation of heaven and earth, although the spiritual veins are broken, the root bones are missing, and the cultivation is completely hopeless, but the Taoist system of my Yuexian Pavilion does not rely on the spiritual vein root bones, as long as there are women. I will teach him to harm the women of the world, and let me breathe a bad breath.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Guang's eyes flashed fiercely. The pain of breaking the root has made his heart change greatly over the years, and he has become almost perverted.
He has never been a good person, and he has never wanted to be a good person, and the apprentices he wants to teach are naturally not good people.
