Chapter 14: Awakening
"When is the snow going to fall in Nanxian County...... Ye Sheng saw that when his father pushed the door open, his waist was rickety.
My father was old, and he would inevitably continue to grow old. Ye Sheng looked at the vast snow, his face was dazed.
It's been more than ten years. More than ten years have passed, and Ye Sheng finally determined that the dream about cultivating immortals when he was a child was fake. The sound similar to the one that made me faint inexplicably many years ago never appeared again, but when the snow fell, every time I felt cold, a warm current would inexplicably emit from my chest, filling my limbs with strength......
Ye Sheng put down the book in his hand, looked at the white expanse outside the window, and knew in his heart many years ago: In this world, there are no immortals.
"Huzi, in a few months, it's time for you to enter the capital for the exam......" The father suddenly turned around and looked at the scroll in Ye Sheng's hand.
He sighed, the weather was getting colder and colder, and he felt like the breath he exhaled was going to freeze.
"I told you Uncle Wang, Chunni's kid left early...... Uncle Wang also regarded you as his second son, and he said that he would send you when the time came...... It's not that I don't know, Ye Sheng...... I know it's not easy for you to read......" Father bowed his head, trying to add some wood to the stove.
"Dad, I'll come, I'll ......" Ye Sheng put down the scroll in his hand and ran over to help.
"Ahem-it's out of the way......" Father waved his hand and gently pushed Ye Sheng away. "Now the weather is too weird, and I heard people from outside say that the county lord of Nanxian County has offended God...... You say that this snow is like this, is there any record in the book?"
Ye Sheng chuckled and shook his head. He seemed to notice that as his father got older, he began to like to talk to him about miscellaneous things.
Seeing Ye Sheng shaking his head, his father said again: "You said that on this day, is there really an immortal? I said don't laugh at you, Ye Sheng...... You said that if there were no immortals, where did this snow come from...... Also, who is in charge of the heavens and the earth...... Even the death of Chunni's baby ......"
Ye Sheng was silent, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Chunni disappeared five or six years ago. Listening to Uncle Wang, she went up the mountain to collect some medicine for her mother that day, but she never came back. Legend has it that she was seen circling in a mountain stream, and in an instant, she disappeared when she was mixed with a gust of wind. There are also rumors that she stumbled and fell into a mountain stream and became the food of the herd of bears.
These are all rumors, but the fortune teller at the head of the village said that Chunni's life should not be extinguished, but it is just a place that ordinary people can't reach.
Uncle Wang secretly gave the fortune teller a few taels of silver several times, wanting to ask where it was, but the old blind man pinched his fingers and counted, but he smiled, saying that the secret of heaven should not be revealed.
The people in the village only thought that the old blind man was deceiving people, and the matter spread, and they all said that the old blind man was blind, and if he couldn't figure it out, he would say anything about heaven to fool him.
The county lord also went to him once because of the heavy snow, but he just shook his head and said nothing, and after a long time, everyone talked nonsense as an old blind man, and no one came to look for him again.
But the old blind man was not in a hurry, and sat in his broken temple all day long, and the snow fell and covered him all over his body, and the air conditioning was overwhelming, and he still smiled and did not move. After a few months, the old blind man disappeared.
So there are rumors again, saying that some people saw the old blind man feathering and soaring, and some people said that the old blind man was buried in the snow, and his bones were frozen, and when he dug it out, he looked like a stone. All in all, people are panicked and have different opinions. Everyone's lives were turned upside down by a heavy snowfall.
At the end of the year, there was hardly any crop harvest, all the livestock were frozen to death, the meat was so hard that it could not be cut, and the county town was already in danger. It was also in this year that the county lord knew that the county was in danger of famine and precariousness, so he invited a mage from the capital to practice the law, but the mage went crazy and broke his heart and cried on the street. In an instant, everyone's fear was raised to an unprecedented height, and it was in this fear that Ye Sheng ushered in the big test of the capital.
That day, Uncle Wang called the carriage to his door, the weather was too cold, the horse was called from other places, the groom looked unhappy, to such a depressing place, even the horses were unstable. If it weren't for Uncle Wang's money, he probably wouldn't have gone to this unlucky place for the rest of his life.
Ye Sheng packed up everything, folded a few books into a box, put them in the carriage, and took some dry food made by his father and some wine - the plum wine was gone, this ghost weather was so cold that everything died, this is the rice wine made by his father from the leftover rice, saying that it is to keep out the cold. Ye Sheng knew in his heart that there was not much rice left in the family, and Uncle Wang sometimes brought some, Ye Sheng made up his mind in his heart, this time he must be on the list and take his father out of this musty place, otherwise how will he live if he stays here for the rest of his life.
Before leaving, Uncle Wang gave Ye Sheng a few taels of silver, Ye Sheng couldn't shirk it, and accepted it, at this moment he looked at the snow, the carriage drove out, passed the east end of the village, and bumped all the way. At this moment, he thought of Chunni, and he didn't know if what the old blind man said was right, could it be that this Nizi was really a little lucky and didn't die, and what kind of cave did she go to? The book says that there is a paradise, which is left over from the pre-Qin period......
Ye Sheng thought, about to the county yamen, opened the curtain to see, it is still snow, white is the only dress on the earth, the horses are even more uneasy in this biting cold, the groom cursed and shouted, I couldn't tell who he was scolding, but Ye Sheng heard it clearly, he was scolding himself for bringing him this funeral. Ye Sheng shook his head and smiled. Suddenly, his eyes froze, in such a cold weather, he actually saw an old man at the door of the yamen!
This old man had white hair, standing in this heaven and earth, as if nothing could shake him, he just stood there, as if he represented the heaven and earth in Ye Sheng's eyes!
Ye Sheng was stunned, rubbed his eyes, and looked again, the old man was still standing there, but the feeling of the coercion of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared cleanly, the old man just stood there, in Ye Sheng's eyes, he was still hunched like his father.
"Old man......" Ye Sheng shouted from afar, "It's very cold here......
He wanted to remind the old man that people often freeze to death in the snow on the roadside in this weather, but in the next second, he was speechless all of a sudden.
There was a gust of wind around the old man, and out of thin air, a middle-aged man appeared!
"This ......" Ye Sheng's heart shook, and he looked at it carefully, and at this look, the two of them were gone.
Is it an illusion? The book once said that people will see some strange things at a certain time, and these all come from people's hearts. Ye Sheng thought in his heart, but I didn't think about anything. Or...... Ye Sheng's chest jumped suddenly, could it be that they were the legendary immortals?
Chunni's disappearance, has something to do with them?
Ye Sheng shook his head, he had read too many books and thought about a lot of messy things, did the immortals have anything to do with him? Thinking like this, he took out the wine jug that his father gave him, took a sip, and thought of the groom, so he opened the curtain and hooked his waist and walked outside, handing him a jug. The groom was originally extremely depressed, there was snow everywhere in this county, and it was estimated that he would have to walk for a day on this road, and when he saw Ye Sheng sending wine over, he didn't have any temper, so he drank politely and chatted with Ye Sheng.
"Scholars are good...... My baby goes around playing every day, and I don't know when I will be able to read a book like a child......"
As he spoke, he drove his beloved horse again.
"If you are in a hurry, you will not be in a hurry...... Ye Sheng said with a smile, "Everything is destined, maybe numerology is destined for your son to be a big official." ”
"Hahaha......" The groom laughed heartily twice, as if the depression just now had been swept away at this time. Isn't what ordinary people expect is that their son can get ahead? Ye Sheng suddenly remembered his father and his big exam. He made up his mind in the bottom of his heart.
The carriage shook all the way, except for the necessary rest, and soon arrived at the capital of Zhao State.
Ye Sheng jumped out of the carriage, soon, he was going to enter the city in the evening, and it was the big exam in three days, and it was false to say that he was not nervous, after all, he was a person from a small place, and he was not sure whether he could pass the big exam.
The groom added some fodder to his horse on the side of the road, and laughed. Ever since he walked out of the ghost place in Nanxian where it snowed every day, he had been in a very happy mood. He would jokingly say to Ye Sheng: "What is Childe thinking, but I'm going to enter the city, the last time I entered the city, ah......"
Ye Sheng chuckled, once this honest man opened the chatterbox, he couldn't hold it back, and he talked endlessly.
Ye Sheng automatically ignored his words and looked at the sky, and suddenly, he was stunned.
In the sky, there were two figures flying!
"Tianyu Kingdom, don't think that the old man is afraid of you if he doesn't resist! Although my Great Heavenly Kingdom is not as good as you, but you can't take the old man alone!"
This sound fell on Ye Sheng and Ma Fu's ears, like thunder in the sky, rumbling!
This is......
Ye Sheng's eyes widened in shock, this is ...... Yes, immortals!
The middle-aged man behind the old man snorted coldly, stepped on the flying sword and said, "Great Heavenly Kingdom, if you haven't done anything that hurts heaven and reason, why do you still want to escape? Hmph!
Ye Sheng looked at the two of them, the momentum emanating from the sky had already made him completely turbulent, this is definitely an immortal, it is an immortal! Ye Sheng roared in his heart, Father, in my life, I have seen an immortal! There are immortals in the world!
Just as Ye Sheng shouted these words in his heart, suddenly, everything in heaven and earth stood still.
Except for Ye Sheng.
As soon as the coercion was dispersed, Ye Sheng got up from the ground in embarrassment, and looked around, the old man and middle-aged man in the sky were still in this position, the horses were still bowing their heads and preparing to graze, the groom opened his mouth wide, and he was frightened.
Only Ye Sheng can move freely.
Just when the question in Ye Sheng's heart had not yet appeared, the sky suddenly cracked. A cold snort came from inside: "Don't wake up yet!"
Wake up......
Ye Sheng's eyes were blurry, and he went down on the grass...... Consciousness twisted, and at the same moment, in the middle of the square, he opened his eyes!
