Chapter 2 Visitors from Heaven
Lingxing is in a calm mountain village
The night is as quiet as water, and the soft moonlight sprays on the endless earth, which is spring, but it is set off like autumn, like the night of Mid-Autumn Festival. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoSpring, at the beginning of the year, especially in the countryside, is particularly busy, as soon as the spring equinox arrives, the farmers are busy, although they get up early and are greedy for darkness, but the villagers also love their own self-entertainment, self-sufficient life; Kimura is no exception, a small mountain village located at the foot of a large mountain, the mountain is very sloping, as if a landslide can happen at any time, but it is still as stable as Mount Tai for thousands of years.
Kimura is actually surrounded by mountains on three sides, but the sloping mountains are so majestic that people tend to overlook the other two hills. Not far from the village of Kimura there is a small river flowing, the Mingling River.
The river is not very spacious, it is eight or nine times wide, crystal clear, there are all kinds of fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river, but this river water is also strange, it flows out of the mountains, flows around the wooden village and the surrounding seven or eight miles of hills, and flows back to the depths of the mountains, why the Linghe River is named Mucun villagers never know, they only know that they are drinking this water to grow up, they believe in this river, think that the river water has spirituality, rural people are relatively simple, since this river water has raised their ancestors for generations, they naturally love this river, every year will bring children to protect this river。
On this spring evening as usual, the villagers of Kimura also returned home in the evening, and after returning home in the evening, the green smoke rose, and soon the whole Kimura was filled with the aroma of rice, and it was already night after the villagers finished eating, and because the moon was exceptionally bright today, many villagers came out to talk, and naturally they would talk about the moon.
"Daddy, why is the moon so round tonight, it was all missing before",
"Yao'er, don't you know, the moon will be full every 15 days."
"Is that so, by the way, Daddy, why does the moon always come out at night, why don't you see it during the day?"
"There is sunshine during the day, so naturally you can't see the moon"
"So, how does it seem that there is a house on the moon?"
"Yao'er, legend has it that the house on the moon can be inhabited by immortals."
Xiao Yao'er looked puzzled and said, "Immortals, since there are immortals living on the moon, why don't they come down and let us have a look, Yao'er wants to see the immortals."
"Immortals are not something that we mortals can see if they want to, many of them can fly."
"Can you fly? Then Yao'er wants to see them more, Daddy, Yao'er wants to see them" Xiao Yao'er looked forward to it, but suddenly her face was bitter, she suddenly looked like she was about to cry, she no longer looked at the moon, turned her head and asked her father, "The immortals don't see us, it must be because they are too arrogant, Yao'er also wants to be an immortal, but how can I become an immortal, Yao'er can't be an immortal", Yao'er was about to cry.
At this time, her father hurriedly replied, "Yao'er doesn't cry, let's be immortals when we grow up, and when you grow up, you will become an immortal."
"Really? Yao'er will become an immortal when she grows up, it's really good, Yao'er will become an immortal too. Haha..."Xiao Yao'er said excitedly
"Of course it's true, how could Daddy lie to Xiao Yao'er" For his daughter, Mu Qi is quite speechless, she was born quirky, only three years old, she is curious about everything, in order to make her daughter happy, he has a lot of words.
The father and daughter talked and talked, the night was deeper, and Yao'er was sleepy, and said, "Daddy, Yao'er is going to sleep, Yao'er is going to find her mother."
"Well, Yao'er go to sleep, let's have a sweet dream."
"Hmm", Yao'er left
Yao'er's family lives in the depths of the village, close to the mountains, and there is a small yard at home, surrounded by a fence full of emerald green plants.
At this time, Mu Qi thought, "Mortals live a life that mortals like, how can it not be a happy thing, I don't envy any immortals, as long as I can live with their mother and daughter for a lifetime." Thinking about going back, suddenly a shadow flashed in the sky to cover the whole moonlight, the village suddenly darkened, I don't know when, there was an extra flying crane in his small yard, there were two people on the back of the crane, an old man holding a child, the child was four or five years old, the child was sleeping soundly, the old man was covered in blood, there was a knife mark on his forehead, blood was dripping, it was obvious that he had just been injured, and Feihe was also seriously injured.
At this time, the old man jumped off the crane's back. Mu Qi next to him was mentally upside down at this time, how could this kind of thing happen in his yard for no reason, so he hurriedly went back to the house and talked to Yao'er's mother, and after a while, the two of them came out, looking at the old man looking down at the child in his arms, his face was full of love.
Mu Qi and his wife, who were standing nearby, didn't dare to disturb, just watched, Mu Qi was about 30 years old, and he had also seen some of the world, but today this situation was also the first time he had encountered, two people and a flying crane appeared out of thin air, although this old man looked like an ordinary mortal.
But Mu Qi is not stupid, just think about it, you know that this must be the so-called immortal, and he didn't do anything wrong, I don't know why the immortal landed in his yard, and he was injured, who injured the old man? And that child, is it the grandson of the old man? Why is he holding a child? A bunch of questions arose in Mu Qi's mind, but he didn't speak.
After a long time, the old man finally raised his head and looked at the couple, Mu Qi and his wife were suddenly nervous, hugged each other, and then Mu Qi finally spoke,
"Old man, I know you are an immortal, do you have anything to do, do you need help" Mu Qi said stiffly, the white moonlight shining on his face made him even paler.
The old man looked at the couple and said, "Old man Motuo, I really need your help, I have exhausted all my ways to get here, I have just arrived, I don't know where this is?"
"Immortals, this is Mu Village, a remote mountain village in Lanling Country," Mu Qi said
"Lanling Kingdom?well, I don't know which continent this is?" The old man asked
"Immortal, Mu Qi is just an ordinary villager, I don't know which continent and which part of Lanling Country it belongs to, Mu Qi has grown so big and walked a radius of hundreds of miles" Mu Qi was worried in his heart
"Yes, it's normal that you don't know, but it doesn't matter anymore, the old man has run out of oil here, don't be afraid, it's just that the old man has something to ask for" The old man said with a bitter face.
At this time, the flying crane behind him had disappeared, and he said silently, "Tianhe, my Mo family owes you a favor to the crane clan, although you were captured by me, but in the end we also became friends, and you burned the Dao for the hope of my family, for this, my Mo family owes you"
"Immortal, what do you need help with" Mu Qi breathed a sigh of relief
"I won't let you help me in vain, I will give you some longevity, you don't have mana, you can only increase longevity by washing the marrow and refining your body, I need you to raise my grandson as an adult, I don't need you to do anything else!" the old man said
Increasing longevity is indeed attractive to mortals, but for Mu Qi, he has long looked down on it, as long as life is happy, why should he care about the length of life? His idea is very simple, live the life of an ordinary person, carefree, just this old man has run out of oil, and such a young child will definitely not make a living, no matter what, he will definitely starve to death, or be eaten by wild beasts in the wilderness, Mu Qi is psychologically entangled.
Looking at the old man's grinding style, his gray hair was dyed bloodshot, and his white clothes were also stained red with blood, Mu Qi's heart changed from fear at the beginning to sympathy, and he thought that the little ghost in his family wanted a child to accompany him, seeing that other people's families had brothers and sisters, but he only had one person to play, and he was shouting for another all day long, Mu Qi's heart softened.
"Old man, we adopted this child, as for this Shouyuan, we don't want it, I can live with the child and her mother for the rest of my life," Mu Qi replied
The old man was surprised in his heart, ordinary mortals all wanted to increase their longevity, including some old monks who also hoped that their longevity would be longer, but this descendant could see life and death clearly, and he was very surprised, and a look of appreciation appeared on his face. After saying that, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand were side by side, and after his arm rotated in the air, he pointed at Mu Qi and his wife, and suddenly two rays of light shot out until they were on the body, and after the light entered the body, Mu Qi and his wife felt that nothing special had happened, but the surface of the skin felt some more greasy substance.
Mu Qi and his wife don't know how difficult it is to ask the old man to say thank you in the whole universe, in the whole universe, there are almost no people who can make the old man owe favors, and the old man doesn't say thank you much in his life, and the old man will generally pay off the favor directly, because this is cause and effect.
The old man glanced at the wooden house, there was a little girl, who was sleeping in a daze, glanced at the little girl, but the old man couldn't see through, the little girl seemed to be a special physique, so that her whole person became ethereal, the old man couldn't explain what kind of physique this was, only knew that this little baby was not simple, but the old man calculated, in a daze, knowing that this child was not harmful to his own child, he withdrew his gaze.
After doing this, the old man seemed to have no regrets, looked at the person and child in his arms, took out a life lock from his sleeve and put it on the child's neck, and said, " Feng'er, grandpa is leaving, whether you become a mortal or a monk in the future, it all depends on your own creation, grandpa put useful things in this life lock, and then if you embark on the path of cultivation, it will be useful to you, but if you become a mortal, pass on this life lock, there are also some other words of mine in it, but these are all things that you need to know after you become a monk" said these words, Mu Qi and his wife did not hear them, but saw the old man silently saying something to the child.
After finishing speaking, the old man's whole body turned into a Tao, and the last power of the transformation sealed the child's bloodline and qualifications, and the child became a mortal from then on. Unless the Tao is taller than the old man, he can see one or two, but even if the Tao is higher than him, and he does not use the whole body Dao, it is difficult to see the clues, because he is a child who is sealed with the power of the Dao, and the power of the Dao contains a trace of his perception of the Mo family's mastery, so it is difficult to see that to break the seal, the only way to break the seal is to learn the Mo family's mastery, or to reach the legendary fairyland, but there is no immortal in the world.
