In fact, when Zhong Dushan was very young, he heard his grandfather tell a lot of legends about the lotus. And these legends are nothing more than about how the lotus flower is effective, the lotus flower can make mortals immortal, so that martial arts people can be of great benefit, and so on.

However, just when these familiar things made Zhong Dushan not strange, Zhong Dushan suddenly thought of another legend about the lotus.

Back then, because the Zhong family only had one child of their own, Zhong Dushan was a little lonely since he was a child, and growing up alone left him without a good playmate.

One day, he hid alone in the gate and watched the children outside happily playing games.

Due to the special status of the Zhong family, Zhong Dushan is not allowed to go out to play, nor is he allowed to make friends with other children, but children's nature is playful, so he hid behind the door and watched the children play.

Just when Zhong Dushan's heart was full of envy, suddenly, he felt a pair of big hands pat his shoulder.

At this time, Zhong Dushan was dumbfounded, he was worried that his father found out that he didn't practice well, but watched others play here, so he looked back tremblingly, and then the hanging heart immediately let go.

It turned out that it was none other than his grandfather who was standing behind.

It is said that Zhong Dushan's grandfather loves this only grandson very much, when he saw the young Zhong Dushan growing up alone, his heart was somewhat sour, yes, it is precisely because he was born in such a family, so Zhong Dushan's childhood did not have the innocence of ordinary children, but countless exercises, and the responsibility that cannot be shirked when he becomes an adult in the future.

"Twilight, are you watching other people play again?" said Grandpa kindly.

Grandpa's words were like a gust of spring breeze, which made Zhong Dushan's heart, which felt lonely just now, suddenly warm a lot.

Zhong Dushan nodded.

"Grandpa, you won't tell Daddy, will you?" Zhong Dushan raised his head, looked at Grandpa, and asked.

"Of course," Grandpa smiled, his old face full of wrinkles, and at this time, in Zhong Dushan's opinion, these wrinkles were also full of signs of love.

"Grandpa, I also want to go out to play, but Daddy always wants me to practice. Zhong Dushan lowered his head and said disappointedly, in his little heart, he was helpless.

"Child, your father is also for your good, you think, you are the only son of the Zhong family, and our Zhong family has the task of protecting the lotus, so in the future, if you are an unarmed person and do not have a little excellent skills, how can you protect the lotus well?" Although the grandfather felt very sorry for this grandson in his heart, for the sake of the lotus, for the interests of the entire Zhong family, and for the future of this child, the grandfather still said step by step.

Zhong Dushan nodded, although, when he was young, he never thought about what a heavy burden he would have to face in the future.

"Grandpa, other people's friends have brothers and sisters, but I don't have anything. At this time, Zhong Dushan once again looked at the children playing outside the courtyard, and their silver bell-like laughter made Zhong Dushan want to grow wings, fly outside, join them, and release the nature that children should have.

"Yes, but your father and mother are the only children of you. Grandpa also said regretfully. When he is old, he naturally hopes to have a full house of children and grandchildren, but since his daughter-in-law gave birth to this little grandson, he has been injured and can no longer have children, so he is destined to have only one grandson in Zhong Dushan.

However, grandpa knows that in the world of adults, there is truth, and in the world of children, there should be hope.

So, the grandfather said to Zhong Dushan: "Dushan, wait a few days, let your mother give you another brother, and when the time comes, you can play together." ”

"I don't want a brother. Unexpectedly, Zhong Dushan refused at that time.

"Why, don't you want someone to play with you, isn't it good to have a brother for you?" asked Grandpa, puzzled.

"Because," Zhong Dushan raised his head, showed a child's mischievous smile, and said, "I want a little sister." ”

"Why is that?"

"Because in that case, I'm my brother and I can protect my sister. Zhong Dushan said proudly.

"So that's the case, it seems that you are not very old, and you still have a lot of hero complexes. Grandpa listened to Zhong Dushan's fairy tales, so he couldn't help laughing.

Children always take what adults say seriously, so after a few days, Zhong Dushan walked to his grandfather's room, and then asked, "Grandpa, is what you said true that day?"

"What did you say?" Grandpa had long forgotten what he had said.

"Just let my mother give me another sister. ”

"Well, you wait patiently. Unexpectedly, this child took his unintentional words seriously.

However, when I asked my mother that day, she did not speak, but kept shedding tears. Zhong Dushan said, with an innocent expression on his face.

At this time, the grandfather realized the seriousness of the problem, but he didn't expect that the child would ask his mother, so it was normal for the daughter-in-law to cry.

However, how can he tell Zhong Dushan that his mother will not have children anymore?

Grandpa is in trouble.

At this time, Zhong Dushan asked, "Grandpa, is my mother unwilling to give me a sister?"

"Twilight, you must know that there are many things in the world, not whether you want to do it, but whether you can do it. Grandpa said helplessly.

So, Zhong Dushan knew in a daze that he couldn't have a sister.

At this time, Grandpa saw Zhong Dushan's lost expression, so he said: "Dushan, do you know that in fact, our family's lotus can also become a person." ”

"What?" Zhong Dushan asked in surprise.

"Child, the lotus heart of our lotus can also become a person, if you really want a sister, when the time comes, when the next time the lotus blooms, grandpa will use the lotus heart to make you a sister, how about it?"

Zhong Dushan couldn't believe his ears, it was like listening to a fairy tale.

"Is this true?"

"Of course," Grandpa said, patting his chest.

So, in the heart of the young Zhong Dushan at that time, such seeds took root and sprouted.

Lotus heart can also become a person, and Zhong Dushan's heart is full of hope.

However, every thirty years, the lotus flower only blooms.

Therefore, by the time the lotus blooms again, Zhong Dushan has grown up, and he is no longer like a child, he needs a younger sister.

What's more, the grandfather who promised to conjure a sister with a lotus flower for himself had already passed away when the lotus was in full bloom.

Later, this fairytale-like legend was never mentioned again.

However, today, after so many years, Zhong Dushan suddenly remembered this childhood legend.

Grandpa said at the time that he wanted to use lotus flowers to make a younger sister for himself.

So, now that I am now, can't I use a lotus flower as a baby, replace Zhuang Zhongren's child, and hand it over to Granny Jin?

Moreover, in the future, for the contract with this intergenerational child, can't it be replaced by a lotus heart forever?

Thinking of this, Zhong Dushan hurriedly came to the study.

After all, this lotus heart became a human thing, but I heard my grandfather say it, I don't know if it's true, so Zhong Dushan hopes to see if there is any information from the ancient books.

In this way, Zhong Dushan did not eat dinner, but flipped through the ancient books one by one.

There were already a lot of books piled up on the ground, all of which Zhong Dushan had read by himself, but there was no information at all.

Zhong Dushan looked out the window at the darkening sky, and then felt very disappointed.

Could it be that this is really just a legend, not true?

Yes, how can a lotus heart become a living person?

However, Zhong Dushan didn't want to believe it, did he really lie to himself back then?

Whenever he remembered his grandfather's affirmative gaze back then, and his grandfather's love for him, Zhong Dushan convinced himself that it was impossible for his grandfather to lie to himself.

So, Zhong Dushan cheered up again, and then began to continue to flip the book.

Suddenly, a few lines of words on an ancient book made Zhong Dushan's eyes light up.

This ancient book says that a thousand years ago, also in Lingyun Mountain, such a thing really happened.

So, Zhong Dushan sat on the ground as if he had obtained a treasure, and then looked at it seriously.

The book says that once, there was a big family on Lingyun Mountain, the owners were two old couples, more than half a hundred years old but had no children under their knees, and they searched for all kinds of prescriptions but did not get what they wanted, just when the two people were desperate, a Taoist priest came from afar, so these two people asked this Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest said that the lotus flower on Lingyun Mountain can turn its lotus heart into a person.

At that time, the two men were overjoyed and hurriedly asked the Taoist priest in convincing, the reason for it.

The Taoist priest saw that these two were very sincere, so he helped them and cast a spell on the lotus heart, and it didn't take long for a boy to come out of the lotus.

Seeing this, Zhong Dushan burst into tears of excitement.

It seems that grandpa really doesn't have a liar himself, and it seems that the Zhong family's predicament has a new way out.

So, Zhong Dushan carefully looked at the entire process of casting the spell.

Actually, it's not that complicated, you just need a lotus heart, and then find a monk who has attained the Tao and recite the scriptures to the lotus for seven days, and then you can have a child.

Zhong Dushan was very surprised, how could he never have heard of such a shocking secret?

At this time, Zhong Dushan was very fortunate that the lotus flower would bloom in less than a month, and he could just have a lotus heart, and then he would be looking for a monk who had attained the Tao, and it would be done.

However, at this time, Zhong Dushan was still a little worried, not knowing if this child would be a normal flesh-and-blood person.

So, Zhong Dushan continued to watch.

The book says that the child was white and fat, and there was no difference between him and a normal baby.

Later, this boy also grew up healthy and healthy, very smart, and there was nothing different from normal human beings.

The only difference between this child and others is that this child has a strange fragrance on his body from the moment he is born, which smells very good, and if you smell it carefully, you will find that this strange fragrance is the same as the taste of lotus.

It's no wonder, after all, that this child was transformed by the lotus heart of the lotus.

The days went on like this.

Suddenly, one day, the child had a serious illness, and the old couple hurriedly invited Lang Zhong, but just when Lang Zhong gave the child a pulse, something amazing happened.

Lang Zhong did not call the child's pulse.

That is, the child has no pulse.

That is, the child has no heart.

The old couple was stunned, but they didn't expect that the child they had raised for so many years would have no heart.

Later, fortunately, the child was blessed with a great life, and the disease was cured.

Later, the child survived his voice safely.

At the same time, the book also writes that in addition to the fact that the body has a strange fragrance and no heart, this child is a little different from normal people, that is, the child's blood is white.

It's the kind of white and immaculate color, like the color of a lotus flower.

Seeing this, Zhong Dushan was stunned.

The body has a strange fragrance, but there is no heart.

Such words made Zhong Dushan suddenly think of a person.
