Chapter 288: Youth
The sun had just crossed the horizon and a new day began.
In a small village on an ordinary island, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy has become the pillar of the family.
In order to make a living, for the sake of the family's rations, the boy began his daily fishing trip.
Although the fishing tools are extremely simple, as a creature after the flood, even if there is no cultivation, the physical fitness of every clansman at this time is very strong.
And his fishing boat won't go too far, after all, the monsters in the East China Sea are rampant at this time, which is very dangerous, and all he has to do is catch fish at the edge of the sea.
It was just past noon, and the boy had captured enough sea, and just as he was about to think about whether to expand the results of the battle, a shadow hung over the small wrecked ship.
The level in front of the boat suddenly rises, and waves several feet high appear. A sudden wave crashed against the boat, and the dilapidated boat rippled in the sea like a rootless bird.
Fortunately, there was only one blow from the waves, otherwise the small fishing boat would have fallen apart. There is no wind and no waves, and there is no sea breeze blowing at this time, but the sudden rise of the waves seems very abnormal.
"Sea Monster !!"
The boy was terrified, and after the waves had passed, a huge monster came out of the sea, ten or so high, and opened its bloody mouth to swallow itself.
"Help!!
When he goes out to sea to fish, meeting sea beasts is the most fatal, and he can only pray at this time that he can escape from the attack of sea beasts before this time and escape.
Seeing the sea beast's mouth coming at him, the young man jumped out of the boat and swam desperately to his homeland.
The lost sailor's fishing boat was swallowed by the sea monster, and the boy had no intention of worrying about the loss of his own property, and his only hope now was to be able to put on his wings and fly out of the sea.
Because he found that his swimming speed was no faster than the sea monster moving in the sea, and if there was no accident, he would not have been able to escape the giant mouth monster.
After swimming for a long time, the sea beast came behind the boy again, and the boy could only watch himself become the food in the mouth of the sea monster and could not do anything.
"Mother, the child is not filial, I can't serve you anymore, little sister, you must take care of your mother!" This was the only thought of the young man before he died.
He lost his father at a young age, and the only thing he relied on was his mother and sister, and because he also lost the top pillar of the family, this young man carried the banner of the family early.
However, surprisingly, the sea monster did not swallow the boy who was waiting for death with his eyes closed, which allowed him to escape death.
Opening his eyes, the boy found that the sea monster had been subjugated by a strong man who was floating and standing.
"Immortals?"
The immortal in the eyes of the young man stood on his head, dressed in a moon-white robe, holding a dusty rod in his hand, and the whole person looked fairy and free in the world. Thousands of silver filaments in the dust pointed at the sea monster, immobilizing the sea monster and making it motionless and unable to speak.
"Thank you to the gods for saving your life!"
Although the boy didn't know whether the savior in the light blue shirt above his head was a god, this did not prevent the boy from placing this title on the benefactor's head.
In legend, the gods move mountains and seas, live forever, and are omnipotent. Although the boy used to listen to those legends as stories, now that he could stand in the void and control the invincible sea monster, the boy had some confidence in the legend of the fairy god.
The monk in the moon-white robe smiled at the fishing boy at his feet, and with a flick of the dust in his hand, the sea monster on the opposite side was pierced by endless silver threads.
The boy was stunned, and he couldn't imagine that the sea monster that had almost lost his life had died like this. At the same time, the fishing boy has a closer understanding of the methods of the "gods".
The whirlpool caused by the sea monster's corpse snorting into the sea is so attractive that the boy is sucked into it if he can't get rid of it.
But fortunately, the monk did not want the life of the person he was saving to be in danger again, so with a finger of his hand, a cloud of water appeared, and then the cloud dragged the boy up and flew into the air and stood next to the monk.
In a short time, the sea monster's blood stained the sea, attracting many seabirds and fish, and then the animals began a bloody battle for food.
But none of this had anything to do with the boy and the monk, who guided him slowly towards the island where he lived.
"Thank you to the gods for saving your life!"
The young man knelt on top of the water cloud and kowtowed to his savior, knowing that without the help of the gods, he would die in the mouth of the beast. And after losing himself, his mother and sister will be difficult to sustain and unable to live, so it can be said that the gods saved him and saved his entire family.
"There is no need to be like this, the road is uneven, and I saw that the little brother encountered a sea monster and almost died here. I can't bear to be poor, so I do it. The Taoist said with a smile.
Somehow, as soon as the Taoist spoke, the young man felt a sense of intimacy. This made him and this Taoist meet for the first time, but he trusted this Taoist very much.
"Thank you to the gods for saving me. The boy didn't say much, just kept kowtowing in thanks, for he knew that there was only so much he could do.
The monk did not stop the young man's gratitude, and accepted it after a polite gesture.
After a while, the two of them returned to the small island.
"Okay, the poor way to send you here is the completion of merit. The monk said to the boy.
Saving people is just a matter of convenience, and if this boy can bring anything to the monk, now after letting the boy out of safety, the monk will have to leave here.
"Please take me as an apprentice!"
After the young man saw this man's method, how could he easily let go of this opportunity? If he could really learn something from this immortal, would he still need to fish like this in the future?
In his village, every child who listens to the legend of the fairy god has a dream of being a fairy, and he is no exception. And now that the gods are in front of him, he must seize the opportunity.
Seeing that the fairy seemed to be indifferent, the young man thought that his sincerity was not enough, so he kept kowtowing, hoping that the fairy could pity himself and accept him as an apprentice.
"That's it, although you and I don't have a master-apprentice relationship, but the poor way calculates that you have an immortal fate. Since you have pleaded so much, the poor way does not want you to get nothing. The Taoist sighed.
"Thank you Immortal Dade!"
Although it is a pity that he can't be accepted by the immortals, since the immortals think that they have an immortal fate, then they will definitely be able to become immortals in the future, how can this young man not be excited?
The Taoist threw out a jade talisman to the young man: "Everything you want to know is in this jade talisman, and you can know it after dripping blood." ”
Then he gave the boy a sword.
"This thing has a fate. ”
"Thank you to the immortals, I don't know what the name of the gods is?
After simply dripping blood and recognizing the master, the young man got the method of cultivating immortals, and the young man shouted to this immortal god after being happy.
"You and I are destined to meet again, but you know the name of the poor road. I hope you will do it yourself, and you and I will see you again. ”
After the Taoist left these words, he disappeared without a trace and disappeared in front of the young man, leaving only the young man kneeling on the beach with his sword in his hand. (To be continued.) )
