Chapter 8: The Spirit Stone
In the early morning of the second day, at the entrance of Kongjia Village, there were more than a dozen people at the entrance of the village, looking at Mu Bai and Kong Lin who were about to leave.
"Don't send it, father, mother, the child will definitely come back with fame. Looking at his parents, Kong Lin said firmly, and then waved to the rest of the people: "Uncles and aunts, don't send them away, I will definitely come back to see you after the scientific examination, and I will go~"
No longer nostalgic, say goodbye to everyone and turn away. Kong Lin's parents looked at Mu Bai and Kong Lin with tears in their eyes, and gradually walked away towards the road.
......
Somewhere in Linzhou, there is a small mountain, the winding mountain road leads directly to the top of the mountain, the shrubs on both sides of the mountain road are overgrown, there is a dilapidated Taoist temple at the top of the mountain, the red paint of the closed Taoist temple door peels off, although the Taoist temple is dilapidated, the front of the Taoist temple is neat and clean, and it can be seen that someone often cleans and cleans up.
Mu Bai and the others hurried for half a month, stained with dust, and their hair was a little messy, because they were afraid of encountering robbers on the road, they picked up the path, so they delayed for some time, and arrived here until this afternoon.
Standing in front of the door of the Taoist temple, Mu Bai grabbed the copper pull ring, and in the sound of 'dong dong', Mu Bai shouted at the temple: "Is Yichen Dao here, Mu Bai has come to see you." ”
After a while, the door opened, and an old Taoist priest with white hair walked out of the temple, holding the dust in his hand, looking at Mu Bai and stroking his beard and smiling: "It's Mu Bai, no one comes here in my broken Taoist temple on weekdays, I didn't expect you to come, come in." With that, Yichen Daoist got out of the way and let the two enter the Taoist temple.
"You haven't been here for seven or eight years, you've grown so big, and the last time I saw you, you were still young. At this time, the three of them had already sat down in a reception room in the Taoist temple, and Yichen Dao Chang was stroking his long beard and smiling at Mu Bai.
When Mu Bai heard this, his face turned slightly red, "I'm far away from here, it's inconvenient." ”
"It's okay, I know what you mean, this is something your stepfather left you, take a look. Yichen Dao Chang handed the red lacquered wooden box he had taken earlier to Mu Bai, "At the beginning, the young old Dao knew that his limit was approaching, so he gave me this thing and asked me to hand it over to you when you became an adult, and now the thing is returned to its original owner." ”
When Mu Bai heard this, his eyes were a little red, and he took it solemnly, out of politeness, he did not open it immediately, but bowed slightly to Yichen Dao Chang, "I am tired of thinking about my father, my father must be very happy." ”
Yichen Dao stroked his long beard, shook his head and smiled, "Qingchu's temperament, being happy is a big miracle." Then he pointed to Mu Bai's stomach and changed the topic, "Are you hungry? Let's not talk about this for now, you two haven't had dinner yet." I'll let the apprentice go to the room and get you some food. He was afraid that if he continued to chat, he would touch Mu Bai's heart, so he turned around and left the reception room after speaking.
......
At this time, it was already night, and in a side room of the Taoist temple, Mu Bai, who had had dinner, sat at the table. Mu Bai was the only one in the wing, and Kong Lin was resting in another room.
By the candlelight, looking at the red lacquered wooden box in front of him, Mu Bai felt a little uneasy in his heart, he never knew what his background was, and he had asked Lao Dao a few times some questions related to his identity, but Lao Dao said that he didn't know either.
It is also possible that the old Tao left information about cultivating immortals in the wooden box, which he didn't know.
Mu Bai opened the wooden box with apprehension, only to see that there were only four things in the wooden box, a pale cyan jade the size of a baby's fist, a white porcelain bottle, a letter, and a booklet with no words on the cover.
Mu Bai opened the envelope, opened it and looked, after a while, he was a little dazed, his eyes were incredible, his right hand directly grabbed the pale cyan jade, only to see that after Mu Bai's right hand touched the jade, a blue light flashed on the surface of the jade, and then disappeared again.
Looking at the blue light, Mu Bai looked excited, grabbed the jade, the letter and the book, and immediately turned around and ran towards the wing where Kong Lin was.
......
In Kong Lin's wing, Mu Bai and Kong Lin sat opposite each other, only to see that Mu Bai's eyes were still a little excited, looking at Kong Lin and saying, "Brother Kong, do you believe that there are immortal cultivators in this world?"
When Kong Lin heard this, he was a little stunned, stretched out his right hand and probed Mu Bai's forehead, and said in astonishment: "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense, how can there be immortal cultivators in this world? "The cultivation of immortals that Mu Bai and Kong Lin talked about before, Kong Lin only thought that the old way of the early Qing was nonsense, but he didn't expect that Mu Bai was also talking nonsense at this time.
Mu Bai was a little helpless, so he immediately stopped explaining and handed the letter in his hand directly to Kong Lin.
After Kong Lin took it, he unfolded it and looked at the content, gradually, Kong Lin's pupils shrunk, and there were not many words on the letter page, but the content was amazing to them, and they saw that the letter read:
"Boy, when you see this letter, I must have gone to chat with the old man of Hades, but unfortunately, it is not as you think of your life experience, and Lao Dao really doesn't know which foot of the mountain you jumped out of. Nothing else, it's just the immortals I told you before, the elixir didn't lie to you, but the facts.
Lao Dao: When I was young, I saved a person who cultivated immortals, and that person was chased and killed and was seriously injured and dying.
In order to repay me, he left a spirit exploration stone and a cultivation book, and the refining elixir I mentioned was also recorded in that book. Haha, although it is a elixir, the elixir eaten by immortal cultivators is not an elixir, and it is reserved for you when it is refined.
If you don't believe it, it's very simple, after your hand touches the spirit stone, the spirit stone will flash with blue light, which means that you have the qualification to cultivate immortals, and when you were just picked up by the old Taoist, I tried it for you. It's a pity that I and Yichen have tried the old way, but we can't get to the fairy road.
The immortal cultivator said that in the future, if there are descendants who can cultivate immortals, they can take that book to the Yuqing Mountain Range in Zhongzhou to find him, and the book is accompanied by a map.
In fact, Lao Dao I am selfish, I could have sent you when you were young, but Lao Dao was reluctant, I finally had such a son, I can't just say send it.
So I plan that if you have reached the age of sixteen and have not returned to heaven, I will tell you directly, if you are not yet sixteen, after I return to heaven, then rely on you to go by yourself, and you have to go by yourself in the future, I will take the first step in the old way, I can't accompany you, I am waiting for you to come and accompany me underground, haha. ”
After Kong Lin read the letter, he was a little silent, and silently took the cyan spirit stone handed by Mu Bai, when Kong Lin touched the spirit stone, the spirit stone burst out of a piece of green light, the dazzling green light directly reflected the light of the chamber, after a while, I saw that the light dissipated, and the spirit stone instantly turned gray, clicked, and shattered.
The two of them looked at the broken gray stone in Kong Lin's hand, they were both in a daze, the spirit exploration stone reflected blue light, it was certain that Kong Lin had the qualification to cultivate immortals, but this spirit exploration stone was directly shattered, what was the situation?
After a while, Mu Bai hesitated and said to Kong Lin: "Brother Kong, you have also seen the situation, or you can cultivate immortals with me." ”
Previously, after Mu Bai read Lao Dao's letter, the first thing that came to mind was Kong Lin, Mu Bai's life was saved by Kong Lin, so Kong Lin's injury has not healed yet, if Kong Lin reacted a little slower at that time, then there must be a corpse of Mu Bai in the alley, and if Kong Lin blocked it at that time, his head was a little off, then there was Kong Lin's body in the alley.
Therefore, Mu Bai had unreserved trust in Kong Lin, and came directly to him to tell Kong Lin about it. After all, there are blessings to share, Mu Bai thought of this, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
