Chapter 118: Reincarnation and Rebirth
In the northern part of the country, in Ningzhou, which borders the Great Zhou Kingdom, somewhere between the mountains and forests, two teenagers are collecting firewood. On closer inspection, a teenager was collecting firewood, and another teenager was sitting in the shade of a tree on the side, holding a thread-bound book, shaking his head and relishing.
The young man who fetched firewood, about sixteen or seventeen years old, was born tall and strong, with ape arms and bee waist, but his eyebrows were very handsome and angular. He held a firewood knife in his hand, swayed it at will, and soon hit a big load of firewood, which was made into two bundles, and he was afraid that there would be no more than 100 catties. The young man inserted a flat pole into the firewood burden, and with a slight lift of his right hand, the hundred-ten-pound firewood burden fluttered on his shoulder, and it seemed that there was no effort at all.
The firewood boy picked up the firewood, came to the side of the young man who was reading, and said with a smile: "Yaozu, go home." ”
The young man reading the book looked up in amazement. It seems that he is one or two years younger than the firewood boy, he looks delicate, full of books, and his body is much thinner.
"Big brother, are you going home? You're ready to make a load of firewood so soon? I've only read a few pages......
The young man, Yaozu, seemed to be a little unconvinced. I felt that I had just sat down, and before the tea, the eldest brother had already collected a load of firewood.
"Well, it's a quiet place, just right for you to study. Then you can read it for a while, and I will go around the nearby mountains and forests to see if there are any medicinal herbs, find a few plants and dry them, and exchange them for a few dollars to supplement the family. ”
The firewood boy seemed to be very doting on this brother, and said with a smile when he heard this.
Yaozu hesitated and said, "Big brother, there is no one here, you ...... You'd better not go too far, right?"
The firewood boy smiled and said, "Yaozu, you are also fifteen years old, and you will soon be an adult." After two years, it's time to take the exam and catch the exam. Once you are in high school, you will be an official body, and ordinary people will call you an adult when they see it. How can you be so timid? Don't worry, I said that I am very familiar with collecting firewood here, there are no snakes, insects and wild things, and it is very safe. I'll come when I go. ”
Yaozu smiled wryly and said, "Big brother, I'm ...... I'm not scared either. Now that you've laid the wood, Mo Ruo can read with me. My father didn't let you do these rough jobs, he wanted you to study for the Jinshi, take the top prize, and expand the lintel of our Xu family. ”
The firewood boy laughed and said, "I care, we two brothers, one is Guangzong and the other is Yaozu...... However, the eldest brother is really not interested in the matter of reading and taking the top prize, so leave it to you to do. You are naturally intelligent, you have never forgotten your reading, and you are a champion material. I'll just do more work, so that you and your little sister have something to eat, and I can be regarded as fulfilling my responsibility as a big brother. ”
Xu Yaozu hurriedly said: "Well, I know, you are the best big brother." ”
Xu Guangzong smiled slightly, nodded, took out a dough cake from his arms, handed it to Xu Yaozu, and said, "Yaozu, you can eat it." ”
Xu Yaozu was taken aback, shook his hand again and again, and said, "No, big brother, this is the lunch that my mother gave you, I have already eaten it, I can't eat you anymore, otherwise you will be hungry." ”
Xu Guangzong touched his head, stuffed the bread into his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother can't be hungry." You study here, and I'll come when I go. ”
"Big brother, big brother ......"
Xu Yaozu lifted the dough cake and hurriedly chased after it, wanting to return it to Xu Guangzong. It's just that Xu Guangzong is tall and has long legs, so he has already gone far. Xu Yao Zuwen is weak, where can he catch up? I had to retreat to the shade of the tree and sit down, pick up the rough piece of dough, look at it for a while, it seems that I can't resist the temptation of food, and gently break off a little and put it in my mouth. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed softly and put the rest of the dough into his arms.
Xu Guangzong strode to the depths of the mountain forest, sat down on a slope, his face was blurred for a while, and the whole person gradually disappeared without a trace, and a small tree grew in the same place, with lush branches and leaves, waving in the wind, and verdant.
About an hour passed, the small tree swayed gently, and there was a distortion like water in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the green tree transformed into the appearance of Xu Guangzong.
Xu Guangzong frowned lightly and whispered to himself: "The power of the law of this reincarnation channel is really powerful, and after so many years, it still can't be fully recovered. It seems that it will take at least two or three years to restore the old view......"
Undoubtedly, this firewood boy named Xu Guangzong is Xu Jin, who was chased and killed in the netherworld many years ago and escaped through the reincarnation channel.
Xu Jin slightly sensed the collision of the power of the law in the reincarnation channel, but in the last section, he was shocked by the power of the law and fainted, but he was not clear. By the time he gradually regained consciousness, it was already six or seven years later.
Xu Jin was surprised to find that he had really become an ordinary child in the world, born in a family surnamed Xu. And the mana in his body is also imprisoned, making it difficult to exert it. Fortunately, Xu Jin could still remember the exercises of the Nine Secret Techniques, and in the dead of night, he secretly practiced them, and little by little freed his mana from the confinement state.
It's a slow and long process.
The power of the law of the reincarnation channel is not trivial, even though he has an innate holy relic, he has almost erased all his memories and mana. In the end, she was reincarnated in the mortal world, and after the mortal woman was conceived in October, she was able to see the sky again. In the first few years, Xu Jin's own divine consciousness was completely sealed, muddy, indistinguishable from ordinary boys in the world, and only gradually recovered later.
The Jumang Sacred Tree regained the ability to transform into shapes, which was barely possible in the last year or two.
However, Xu Jin was already very satisfied.
In any case, his divine consciousness, memory, and mana had not been completely erased in the reincarnation channel, the holy tree and the Yin Luo Blade had also been preserved intact, and even that strange spirit stone was still in his body, providing him with a steady stream of spiritual power.
This is already too rebellious.
I'm afraid that since ancient times, he is the only person who can recover the memories of his previous life after being reincarnated through the reincarnation channel.
Naturally, Xu Jin didn't know at all, because of the collision of the power of the law, the reincarnation passage he passed through was completely destroyed, turning into a bottomless hell abyss, affecting a wide area of the Netherworld.
Ningzhou, where Xu Jin was reincarnated, belonged to the ordinary mundane world, and there was no great cultivation sect in the territory. Because the aura here is thin, it is not enough to support the survival of a large cultivation sect, and there may be individual scattered cultivation, and Xu Jin is not clear. He had that peculiar spirit stone, and he never had to worry about the lack of spiritual energy when he was cultivating.
After the law battle of the reincarnation channel, this spirit stone is still not exhausted, and sometimes Xu Jin is a little speechless when he thinks about it.
What really made Xu Jin happiest was that he was originally worried that the Jumang Sacred Tree would not be able to adapt to the environment of the Pure Yang Realm, but later found that this worry was simply unnecessary. The Jumang Sacred Tree did not have the slightest discomfort with the pure yang power of the Pure Yang Realm.
Xu Jin stood at the foot of the hill and moved his muscles and bones, and seeing that the hour was not early, he walked down the mountain quickly, preparing to call Xu Yaozu to go home together.
Xu Jin was reincarnated in this family surnamed Xu, the family is poor, he is the eldest son, and there is a brother and a sister. Whether it is his parents or younger siblings, they are all ordinary mortals, Xu Jin has looked at and investigated, and there is no spiritual foundation for cultivation. This made Xu Jin very helpless, it seems that the parents and younger siblings in this life can only live like ordinary mortals for the rest of their lives.
That's not a bad thing.
The strong in the cultivation realm are respected, and dangers are lurking, Xu Jin has only been on the road of cultivation for more than ten years, and he doesn't know how many monks have seen a miserable ending where their souls are scattered and destroyed. The masters who have truly attained immortality, Xu Jin has never seen any of them. With the power of the Yin Wind Ancestor, in the end, he could only choose the path of reincarnation and start over.
If the parents and siblings in this life can spend their lives peacefully, they are also very happy.
Xu Jin only began to recover the memories of his previous life after he was six or seven years old, and before that, he had already cultivated a deep relationship with his parents and younger siblings. Moreover, Xu Jin was an assassin in his previous life, and he received strict assassination training since he was a child, and he was cold and dull, and had no family affection at all. This strong family affection is really a long time gone for Xu Jin, and because of this, it is even more precious.
When passing through the mountain road, Xu Jin collected a few herbs.
The Jumang Sacred Tree's innate ability to sense the spirit grass elixir has not been lost. However, on the ground of Ningzhou, the spiritual energy is thin, and the spiritual herb elixir that is really suitable for cultivators is very lacking. The herbs collected by Xu Jin were all ordinary herbs from the mortal world, and after they were dried and refined, they were taken to the city and exchanged for a few copper coins to help supplement the family.
Xu Jin did not intend to rely on his mana to seek ill-gotten gains, whether it was a cultivator or a mortal, some of the most basic guidelines must still be strictly observed. This is Xu Jin's bottom line. If Xu Jinzhen did this, he might be able to help the Xu family become rich, but it might also cause his family to suffer a curse.
As long as the family is safe, coarse tea and light rice are not a kind of happiness.
A fat hare sprang out of the grass on the side of the road, Xu Jin flicked his hand, and a cold force shot out like lightning, and the hare didn't say a word, turned over and fell.
"Big brother, you're back......"
When he came to the col where he was collecting firewood, Xu Yaozu hurriedly greeted him and shouted happily.
Xu Jin smiled and nodded.
"Ah, hit a hare. Xu Yaozu was even more excited when he saw the fat hare in his eldest brother's hand, and shouted: "Now the little sister must be very happy......
said that the little sister was so happy, and Xu Yaozu himself couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The eldest brother is a good skill, and he can often hit some wild things, which makes the family feast. In this barren and remote country, in the homes of ordinary farmers, they can have a meal of meat and sacrifice their teeth every three or five times, what a beautiful thing!
Xu Jin laughed, took the firewood, hung the hare on the firewood, and strode down the mountain.
Xu Yaozu was elated and followed closely behind.
