Chapter 10: Humanity is a dream
At this time, the door opened, and it was my mother, but her face was a little haggard.
"Whoa!" The ginseng soup in his hand was shattered, and his mother rushed over and hugged him, "Hello, my child, you are finally awake!"
"Mother, what happened?"
"Xiaoyi, good boy, you have been asleep for three days and three nights, but you are in a hurry to die. The mother was very excited, "Patriarch Sanqing blessed, you finally woke up, how do you feel?"
Chen Qi was taken aback, you must know that practicing "Pure Yang Gong" is very consuming of mental energy, and he insisted on a whole day at most in his previous life, which is also the reason why he can practice with confidence, he will wake up when his spirit is not good, and he should have slept lazily, it seems that things are somewhat unexpected to him, after reincarnation, his spiritual power has obviously increased many times.
However, Chen Qi didn't have time to say more to his mother, he was extremely tired and fell into a deep stupor.
This sleep was another day and a night, when Chen Qi woke up, he was completely awake and fully recovered, his mother was guarding the bedside, and he was naturally very surprised to see him wake up safe and sound. Soon alarmed the others, first the maid-in-law outside, and then, the grandfather and father also got the news and rushed over, everyone was very happy, and kept shouting and asking for warmth, Chen Xiaoyi asked the little master a little honestly what kind of fairy fate he had.
Chen Qi was confused. Everyone chattered and explained.
It turned out that Chen Qi was unconscious after he was settled, and others couldn't wake him up, at first his mother thought he was sick, and invited a few doctors to no avail, so he panicked, and almost all the famous doctors in the city were invited, but to no avail, they didn't even understand the reason for Chen Qi's coma, so they had to prescribe some mild and nourishing prescriptions.
In desperation, the Chen family could only hope that those mysterious people, such as goddesses, gods, monks or Taoist priests, did not know that they had invited a lot, and various dojos, fastings, and sacrifices were held many times, but the results did not have any results.
When everyone was almost desperate, a Taoist with the Taoist name Xuansheng suddenly came to the door and said that Chen Qi was not sick, nor was he an evil spirit, but an immortal. Similar to a dream of Huangliang, there are immortals who enlighten and teach him in a dream, and it is a great thing to have a day in the world and a thousand years in a dream.
Hearing this, everyone in the Chen family was a little confused, but when they remembered Chen Qi's mysterious sitting posture before falling asleep, they were a little suspicious, and their hanging hearts were put down a lot. But the child can't always be in a coma like this, and if he doesn't eat or drink, something will happen, and the family asks the Xuansheng Taoist to use his magical powers to wake him up. javascript:
"No, meeting immortals in a dream is a great opportunity and great blessing, and it is a great fortune to interrupt it rashly," Xuansheng Taoist refused, "Use wild ginseng with some mild and nourishing medicinal herbs to boil soup and feed it, you can save your life, and when the time comes, you will naturally wake up." ”
After hearing this, this Taoist priest is a liar, this is Chen Qi's first reaction, what an immortal, why didn't he see it, but suddenly his heart moved, immortal fate This seems to be a good excuse, some things can be done boldly.
At this time, an old Taoist walked in, with a tall figure, crane hair and a childish face, full of spirit, a dark figure gossip robe, holding a snow-colored dust, striding in, full of fairy spirit.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Xuansheng Zhenren, you are here," Chen Shou first noticed this Taoist, stepped forward to greet him, and sat down as the guest host, "Yu'er has woken up, and I am very grateful to the real person for saving his life." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, don't dare to take credit for the poor Dao," Xuansheng Dao Chang waved his hand and said modestly, "So that Sun Ben's life is not in danger, how can he talk about saving his life." ”
Xuansheng Daoist had just entered the room, and Chen Qi, who was being held in his mother's arms, seemed to sense something, and his eyes noticed him through his mother's armpits. This Taoist priest is a little strange, Chen Qi said secretly, he can't describe it accurately, he always feels that this Taoist priest has something special, extraordinary temperament, and some things that others don't have.
At this time, Daoist Xuansheng seemed to notice his gaze, smiled at Chen Qi, and nodded kindly.
"The real person is really too humble," Chen Shou said, "I still have to thank the real person for his guidance, otherwise we will be in a fog, and we don't know what kind of mess we will make." ”
"Hehe," Xuan Sheng said, "Poor Dao also arrived in Lingnan recently, just passing by, I wanted to go to the South China Sea overseas, and on a whim, I passed by Chen's Mansion, which shows that Sun Fu has a deep fate, and his fate with Poor Dao is not shallow." ”
"There seems to be an unfinished meaning in the real words?" Chen Shou was a little nervous, the descendants of the Chen family were not prosperous, and this precious grandson could not be a Taoist priest.
"Chen Jushi, don't worry, so that Sun has excellent talents, extraordinary roots, and deep immortal fate, he is really a good apprentice," Xuansheng Dao held his long beard with his hand, "Poor Dao is naturally excited, but unfortunately Poor Dao went to the South China Sea to make peace with people but an old grudge, this is unpredictable, life and death are difficult to argue, naturally you can't mislead people's children." ”
As he spoke, Xuansheng Dao Chang took out a jade pendant and a simple book from his sleeve, "This yin and yang jade pendant is a poor Taoist thing, which can protect oneself and keep it safe, so I will give it to Ling Sun, so that he will be free from evil and grow up safely in the future." This "Tao Te Ching" is a thing that is read on weekdays, it is an ordinary thing, and it is also given to Ling Sun, who can read more on weekdays to increase wisdom. ”
"No, the kindness of a real person has not been repaid, how dare you be such a generous gift to a real person?" Chen Shou refused,
"Alas, they are all ordinary things, not worth it. Now, Ling Sun woke up from his dream and wanted to get a fairy fate, maybe one day in the future, Dao Zuo will meet, and there will be a chance to call a Taoist friend, these should be a good fate, Chen Jushi must not refuse. ”
Daoist Xuansheng put the two things on the small table next to him, got up and picked up the dust, turned around and strode away in a dashing manner.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, Chen Qi felt that before Xuansheng Dao left, he looked at him deeply, and that look was meaningful.
At night, Chen Qi lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, thinking of the Xuansheng Taoist during the day, he was a little unsure whether this Taoist was a real Taoist master or a swaggering liar, judging from the appearance alone, he was definitely a fairy wind and Taoist bones, with an extraordinary temperament, but many things can't just look at the surface, if this is a Taoist virtuous person, why didn't he see that he was practicing martial arts, but instead came to the ridiculous conclusion that he met an immortal in a dream? Or does it have a deep meaning?
Thinking of this, Chen Qi got up, took out the two gifts given by the Xuansheng Daoist during the day, and looked carefully under the candlelight, with some small expectations in his heart. After all, according to the plot of traditional fantasy novels, if this Xuansheng Taoist is the legendary master of the world, most of the things given to the protagonist look inconspicuous at first, but in the end, most of them are confirmed to be peerless treasures.
But Chen Qi read the "Tao Te Ching" inside and out more than a dozen times, and found that the content was nothing special, there were no metaphors and code words, although there were some words and sentences that were a little different from the "Tao Te Ching" he saw in his previous life, but this is nothing, after all, there are many versions of the "Tao Te Ching", and some differences are normal.
It's an ordinary paper book, probably old, and the paper is a little yellowed. The paper of the book cover is slightly thicker, but it is not made of cowhide, and there is no laminate. In fact, Chen Qi carefully pinched every page of the book by hand, and found no overlapping pages or mezzanines.
Do you need to use a fire to roast it?" Chen Qi said secretly, and then he gently roasted every page of the book on the candle, except for the pages that turned black a little, there was no change in the slightest, and no hidden content emerged.
He thought to himself again, so he quietly went out, brought a basin of water, and carefully immersed the ancient book, but the water slowly turned black, Chen Qi was taken aback, and quickly took it up, and found that the handwriting had been blurred, mixed together, and nothing could be seen clearly, a mess of paste, but he never found the hidden content, and a good book was completely ruined, so he could only throw it away as garbage.
"Alas," Chen Qi sighed, "Is it really that he is suspicious and thinks too much?! This Xuansheng Taoist is a liar with extraordinary acting skills!"
But he was really a little unwilling, he picked up the yin and yang jade pendant again, and it was cold in his hand, it seemed to be some kind of ice jade, Chen Qi looked at it for a long time, and he didn't recognize what kind of jade it was made of, but it should be worth a lot of silver, but this was not what he wanted, he wanted to know if this jade pendant was hiding some kind of special secret.
The yin and yang fish carved by jade looks good, and in addition, there is no other superfluous decoration, which is very simple and simple.
Chen Qi took this jade pendant and looked through the firelight and moonlight, but he didn't find any hidden treasure maps and other graphic clues, and there was no reaction when he was soaked in the fire. He was a little discouraged, and resisted the urge to break the jade pendant for inspection, after all, it was worth a lot of silver, and it couldn't be wasted, it seemed that this old liar was quite willing to spend the money.
In the following days, Chen Qi had been waiting for that Xuansheng Daoist to come to the door again, if he was a liar and gave bait, he would definitely come again, ready to expose him, but he had never seen this Taoist since then.
