Chapter 2 Stones
"Shopkeeper, three taels of silver, no, two taels, how about this? This may be the kind of spirit stone used by immortals. ”
"Go, go, nothing. Return the spirit stone, you haven't seen the spirit stone, right? Hurry up, don't lie here. ”
Chen Mengsheng stood outside the door of a pawnshop, holding a stone in his hand, his face was quite melancholy. This was already the fourth pawnshop he had entered, and they all kicked him out without exception. He couldn't help it, he was hungry.
A month ago, for the sake of his vow, he resolutely left his hometown despite the dissuasion of his father and mother, and embarked on the road of becoming an immortal. He didn't even know where to be an immortal, but he heard Zhang Xiaohu's immortal relatives say that the immortal sect was far away, and he could only go to the distance.
Half a month ago, he met a bandit, his package was snatched by them, and he was pushed off the cliff by them and almost died. Fortunately, a crooked-necked tree hung on him, and he was lucky enough to save his life.
Later, he ate wild fruits, drank water from the stream, and limped out of the mountains and forests to this town. He took the only thing he thought was valuable and wanted to go to the pawnshop for some money, but he was thrown out as a liar.
He looked at the stone in his hand and sighed deeply.
The stone looked a little shiny, there were some strange lines on it, and there seemed to be a black thing inside, I couldn't see what it was, this stone was picked up by him under the cliff.
"I'm so hungry, I knew I wouldn't come to the market, I thought you could exchange some money for this broken stone, but I didn't expect that the fart would not be topped. ”
He wanted to throw the stone away, but he thought that he would have nothing left after throwing it away, so he took it back into his arms.
Limping, Chen Mengsheng walked out of the market weakly, and at some point, he fainted on the side of the road. The moment he fainted, the stone in his arms flashed an invisible light that disappeared into his mind.
Chen Mengsheng had a dream, he dreamed of a large table of delicious food, he devoured it, and ate it beautifully in the dream.
"Hey, wake up, wake up!"
Chen Mengsheng was holding a chicken leg to nibble in his dream when someone woke him up.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at an old man next to him.
"Child, why are you sleeping on the side of the road?" the old man looked worried.
Chen Mengsheng snorted, "Ahem, I slept too late last night, and I suddenly fell asleep when I walked here, so I wanted to squint for a while." ”
"Children should go to bed early, don't stay up late in the future, I thought something happened to you. ”
"Thank you uncle for your concern, I'm fine. ”
The old man shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Watching the old man walk away, Chen Mengsheng jumped into the woods on the side of the road.
"What's the matter, why aren't you hungry?" he muttered to himself, touching his shriveled stomach.
He remembered that he was hungry and faint, how could he wake up and not be hungry at all, as if he had eaten, but he had also eaten, and he had eaten in his dreams, could it be that the dream had come true?
I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so I simply didn't want to, as long as I wasn't hungry, I could say anything.
That night, he found only a few bitter berries, and after swallowing hard, he went to bed early. In the evening, he had another dream, in which he feasted, but then he woke up hungry.
He touched his stomach and wondered, "It doesn't make sense, I dreamed of eating at noon, and when I woke up, it was the same as if I had really eaten, why can't I do it at night?"
"Alas, it seems that it is just a stroke of luck, how can there be such a good thing, dreams can come true. ”
He rolled over, and was smacked by something in his arms, and he felt it, and it was the stone.
"Does it have anything to do with your little rock? It hasn't happened before. ”
After looking at the stone for a long time, he didn't find any clues, but his stomach was even hungrier, and he had no choice but to get up and look for food under the moonlight.
When dawn came, he looked at the berries in his hand and looked uncomfortable.
"How can this rotten place be this kind of fruit, and let people not live!"
Enduring the bitterness, he finished eating the berries in his hand and dragged his heavy legs on the road.
At three o'clock in the morning, he was hungry and sleepy, and at last he came to a big tree, and he fell into a deep sleep. After he fell asleep, the stone flashed again.
Suddenly, Chen Mengsheng opened his eyes with a look of surprise. He had just had a big and happy dream, and this time he woke up and it seemed that the dream had come true again. He began to calm down and think about the relationship.
"Yesterday at noon, today in the morning, I woke up from eating in a dream and was not hungry. I had the same dream last night, but I woke up hungry, is this dream still related to time?
Thinking of this, he had a plan, and to prove whether his guess was true, he only had to dream again. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, and it took him a long time to fall asleep again.
This time, because he was not hungry, he was full of energy in the dream, and he actually had the leisure to climb the mountain, but then he met a group of wolves on the mountain, and he was so frightened that he ran away, and a wolf caught up with him, and was about to bite him with his bloody mouth open, and woke him up.
His frightened eyes were open, and his head was unconsciously tilted to one side, as if the wolf was really right next to him, too real. He was covered in sweat and his stomach was rumbling again.
"It's true!"
Horror was followed by ecstasy, and his dreams could come true. He ran for a long time in his dream, hot and hungry, but he didn't expect to wake up sweating profusely and hungry.
He took out the stone again and looked at it carefully. He was somewhat convinced that his change should have a lot to do with the stone.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this stone was extraordinary, and after looking at it for a long time, it seemed that his mind was being ingested. He withdrew his gaze and shook his head. It seems that this stone is a big treasure that can make dreams come true. But he still has to do some testing to see if the stone is a treasure or not.
For a day, he spent almost in a dream. He first found a hidden tree, buried the stone underneath, and then went to sleep elsewhere, but when he woke up, nothing changed, and what happened in the dream had no effect on him at all. Later, he put the stone back on, and sure enough, the dream became a reality.
Confirmed, he jumped high. Unexpectedly, he actually picked up a big baby, with this stone, wouldn't he be comfortable in the future, just daydreaming.
For the next few days, he spent almost all of his dreams in his dreams, and whenever he was hungry, he would fall asleep and feast.
However, after a few days, he lost a lot of weight, looked very haggard, his head was swollen, and his heart was nauseous. He was originally very fat, and he was still very fat after losing weight, but his clothes were very loose. He slept too much time, and sometimes he dreamed in a daze, half asleep and half awake.
He walked with vain steps and listlessness. In the past few days, he finally understood that the stone could make his dream come true, but it was just a lie to his feelings, he didn't feel hungry after eating in his dream, but he didn't eat in reality, and his body naturally couldn't bear it.
With a heavy pace, he fainted again in the mountains and forests. By the time he woke up, he was already in a carriage.
"Wake up. A hearty voice came from outside the carriage.
Chen Mengsheng got up, opened the curtain on the carriage, and saw a big man with a beard.
"Hehe, I happened to pass by this place, you slept there, I didn't wake you up, I guess you fainted, and I didn't see anyone coming after a while, in this wilderness, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I have to take you first. ”
"Thank you, uncle, uncle, in fact, I'm hungry, have you eaten?"
"There's a blue cloth package in the carriage, and there's dry food in it, so eat it quickly. ”
The carriage grunted forward, and Chen Mengsheng sat next to Dahan, rubbing his stomach and talking to Dahan.
"No way, who let him humiliate me, if I become an immortal, I will definitely beat him all over the ground to find teeth. ”
"Okay! ”
"By the way, uncle, do you really have a way to make me an immortal? No, is it a way to become a monk?"
"Hehe, as long as you have a spiritual root, I can make you a monk. However, you have become a monk, and you will do something for me in the future. ”
"Great! I will never forget my uncle's kindness, don't say one thing, do ten things. ”
"Hehe, let's wait until you become a monk, that matter is not that simple. ”
The carriage traveled for a month before it reached a small town.
In a small inn, the big man nodded and stood in front of a little old man with an obscene appearance.
"Huang Xianshi, my little nephew is the Five Elements Spirit Root, and I hope that the Immortal Master will receive it under the door. ”
"What do I want this disciple to do?"
"Immortal Master, Immortal Master, this is a gift he gave me after I saved a demon hunter, I don't know how valuable, I hope that the immortal master will accept it, teach my little nephew, and fulfill my Chen family's wish to be an immortal." ”
Huang Xianshi took a wooden box containing a bundle of bearded plants. His eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but he said quietly, "This thing is not worth much among monks, but seeing that you are so sincere, leave that child behind." ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. ”
"Mengsheng, you will follow the Yellow Immortal Master to cultivate in the future, remember your oath, you must be an immortal. The big man dragged Chen Mengsheng and said to him.
"Immortals?" the Yellow Immortal Master scoffed.
"Uncle, are you leaving?"
"I still have something to do, and the future can only depend on you, remember that you still promised me one thing. ”
"Well, I must remember. By the way, uncle, where will I find you after I become a monk?"
"You just need to cultivate well, and when you become an immortal, you will naturally find me. ”
Chen Mengsheng didn't pay attention, the big man said that he was an immortal, not a monk.
The big man left, leaving Chen Mengsheng in this place, and he looked at the obscene old man with a worried expression.
The obscene old man held the wooden box, overjoyed, "Hey, hey, it turned out to be Rehmannia Essence, this is a hundred-year-old elixir, fortunately he has no eyes." ”
"Boy, come here, what's your name?"
"The kid's name is Chen Mengsheng. ”
"Tut-tut, Five Elements Spiritual Root, you have to work hard. The old man said meaningfully.
Ten days later, the old man stood in front of a mountain gate with Chen Mengsheng and three children.
