Chapter 68: Qianfumen, Zhang Youcai
Zhang Youcai carried a load of firewood and walked on the rugged mountain path back to the sect.
He is a fireworker in the Thousand Fu Sect, and he does not participate in the cultivation of talismans, but is only responsible for chopping wood and boiling water in the back mountain.
In the Thousand Fu Sect, there are no less than 100 disciples who are forging their muscles and bones the day after tomorrow, and there are also mundane chores such as planting melons in the ground, beating iron and casting knives, grinding and carrying water, and firewood, which add up to a huge team, just like a gang in the secular world, it is also necessary to eat, drink, and Lasa a bunch of mundane things, without these people it is really not good!
Zhang Youcai is one of them, with a blind old mother and a younger brother who is twelve or thirteen years old. The family of three relied on him to make a living as a pyrotechnician for Qianfumen, and he was bullied all day long, and lived an extremely embarrassing life!
"Hey, why is there a dead man here?"
Zhang Youcai put down the burden of Chai He on his shoulders, and slowly approached the person lying on the path to see if it was a member of the sect he knew.
When I got closer, I saw that he was an extremely young man, with no clothes on his body, and a huge and shocking wound on the back of his hand, revealing Bai Sensen's bones.
However, the strange thing is that this young man actually breathes evenly and long, and his breath is continuous, as if he is sleeping!
"Hey, this little brother, wake up, it's getting dark, go home and sleep!"
After shouting for a long time, seeing that the young man did not move, Zhang Youcai boldly pushed the young man, but there was still no movement!
"Probably drunk!"
Holding the gourd in his hand, Zhang Youcai opened the lid of the gourd, and poured half of the gourd water on the young man's face with apprehension, wanting to wake him up!
Doing this dangerous action, Zhang Youcai was ready to be scolded or beaten up by this person! The young man in front of him, as soon as he saw the long breath, knew that he was a monk who had achieved cultivation, and mortals like them existed like ants in the eyes of these monks, and if they annoyed these people, a bad one would be a disaster of killing!
But Zhang Youcai couldn't bear to bear this person lying here, the Holy Beast Mountain Range, there are many fierce beasts preying on humans, this person sleeping here will be devoured by fierce beasts, and there is not even scum left!
After pouring all the half gourd, the young monk still didn't wake up, Zhang Youcai couldn't help but show a confused expression, after hesitating for a long time, he took off his coat and robe, leaving only the close-fitting horse coat, and it took a lot of effort to put the robe on this young man who was as hard as iron, leaving Chai He on his back and carrying the young man to the mountain behind Qianfu Gate step by step.
A beautiful colorful butterfly fluttered around Zhang Youcai
The mountain behind the Qianfu Gate is the abode of all the ordinary servants who cannot practice, located in a huge mountain col, occasionally I saw a monk disciple with a foot on the Dharma weapon breaking through the air, and with a wave of his hand, the cooked food disappeared, and the disciple then rose into the air and disappeared in a blink of an eye
It was already as dark as ink, and Zhang Youcai finally carried the sleepy young man back with a sigh, and saw from a distance the dim lights of his four dilapidated huts.
This young man on his body is too heavy, although Zhang Youcai can't cultivate, but his physique is extremely tall, and his long-term physical work has made him very strong, and he is usually three or two hundred catties of firewood, but this guy on his back is dead and heavy, which makes Zhang Youcai sweat profusely
Pushing open the hidden bamboo fence door, a thin figure woke up from a nap:
"Big brother, you're back, but you freak out my mother and me!
The thin figure rushed to Zhang Youcai's side, but when he saw the young man on his back, he couldn't help but stop the action of throwing himself into his brother's arms, and took a few steps back in panic!
Such a thin figure, but his voice is hoarse and muffled, and his voice is like an old cow!
"Why is it so late, let me worry about my mother!"
A bamboo fence door on the back wall of the hut slowly opened, and an old woman groped for the wall and paced out tremblingly.
Zhang Youcai put the young man on his straw mat bed and hurriedly went to help the old woman:
"Mother, you haven't slept yet, I met this sleepy little brother on the road today, and I delayed the time to go home, so I worried you, my mother!"
"Little brother, what kind of person is you?, you are too honest and loyal, but don't cause any trouble, your sister, your brother is still so young, if you have an accident, this family will be over!"
Zhang Youcai helped the old lady to sit on the chair, and then nodded:
"Mother, you only know the situation of our family, but meeting is fate, I can't watch the little brother lying on the mountain road, and the fierce beast killed him!
The colorful butterflies on the eaves clearly heard Zhang Youcai's simple words! It was these heartfelt words that changed Zhang Youcai's life as a simple man, and allowed him to get a great creation that he could not even dream of, and finally became a generation of heavenly masters!
Mother Zhang listened to her son's words and nodded:
"Yes, it is not the virtue of our poor family to see death and not to save it, since you have a fate to meet him, it seems that it is also destined by God, let's try our best to let him recover!"
At this time, Zhang Youcai's younger brother's hoarse voice suddenly exclaimed:
"Oh, he's injured on his hands!
Zhang Youcai approached Zhang's mother's house, and walked out with a medicine basket in a moment:
"Why are you flustered, the boss is not a small young man, he is not ashamed, he doesn't know how to be reserved!"
Although the words were harsh, the smile on his face and the soft gaze on his younger brother showed Zhang Youcai's doting on his younger brother!
The thin figure also ran to his brother's side happily, pulling Zhang Youcai by one arm, and watching him find the dried wilted vine roots from the medicine basket
A month has passed!
Zhang Youcai, who had finished a day of miscellaneous labor, returned home, his mother had already groped for a meal, and the family of three gathered around the wooden table and began to eat.
"Talented, do you think lazy real people will wake up, how do I feel that this house is becoming more and more depressed day by day, as if I am carrying a very heavy and heavy thing, it's really strange!"
"Yes, yes, since this lazy guy came to our house, the air seems to be frozen, I always have a feeling of extremely unsmooth breathing, but when I go out, I don't have this strange feeling of suffocation!
Zhang Youcai listened to the words of his mother and younger brother silently, and after eating all the rice in the bowl, he kept making movements to pick it in his mouth, but he didn't say a word!
Lazy Zhenren is the name given by his younger brother to the unconscious young man in bed, which means that this guy is very lazy and hasn't slept enough for a month, but like those cultivators, he can starve to death without eating or drinking!
Zhang Youcai also discovered a strange phenomenon, since carrying the sleeping young man back home, his aura seems to be getting stronger and stronger!
He doesn't understand anything like his brother and mother. I have been doing chores for the Qianfu Gate all the year round, and I have also learned a lot of common sense of cultivation under the influence of my ears and eyes. Knowing that this suffocating aura is a manifestation of this young man's cultivation being released!
Now that this person has been asleep for a month, his cultivation aura has become many times stronger! Just a trace of leakage has already made it unbearable for himself and his mother and brother! I don't know how this mysterious young man has been able to grow his cultivation even in his sleep? Moreover, the extremely serious wound on the back of his hand has now been healed as before, and not even a scar has been left!
Back in the room, Zhang Youcai helped the lazy real person up from the bed, carried it on his back, and then said to his younger brother:
"Take all the bedding on my bed and follow me"
When Mother Zhang heard this, she asked strangely:
"Talented son, what are you going to do? You can't do something unconscionable just because your mother and your brother complained!"
"Mother, don't worry, I'm moving my little brother to the cave where our family stores dry food, which is secluded and safe, which can prevent others from discovering the existence of lazy real people, and can also make you and your brother no longer suffer from suffocation, just kill two birds with one stone!"
As soon as Mother Zhang heard this, she was relieved!
Zhang Youcai's emaciated younger brother made a bundle of several quilts from him, and trotted all the way behind his brother.
A colorful butterfly flew over his head, giving the emaciated boy a happy expression on his face!
For a month, he found that this colorful butterfly often flew at his door, and one day he couldn't help but shout stupidly at the butterfly in the sky:
"Butterfly Butterfly, shall we be friends?"
After shouting, the boy himself felt a little ridiculous, and he couldn't help but giggle!
However, the beautiful colorful butterfly seemed to understand his words, and between flapping its wings and flying, it actually landed on the young man's shoulder!
In this way, Zhang Youcai's younger brother has one more friend!
In the cave, there are a lot of dry goods that can be stored in the cave, the temperature in the cave is suitable, warm in winter and cool in summer, in the cold winter and hot season, Zhang Youcai's family will move to this hidden small cave to live, in order to survive the most difficult winter and summer!
After Zhang Youcai waited for his younger brother to spread the bedding on the ready-made wooden bed, he put the lazy real person on the bed and lay down, covered the quilt, and instructed:
"Little brother, remember to come and see the lazy real person from time to time, and if there is anything abnormal, you should quickly notify the eldest brother, don't forget!"
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed!
Zhang Youcai's family, half a year ago, because of the strong pressure in the cave where the mountain goods were stored, it was difficult for them to breathe, so they only watched from a distance and could not enter the cave again!
On this day, Zhang Youcai's younger brother came to the far away place of the cave as usual to see if the lazy real person's aura was strengthened again!
He was afraid that if it continued like this, his family of three would have to move! The breath coming from the cave more than a mile away from the hut gradually spread to almost a mile away, and it was only a little bit that it spread to the place where the hut was!
This time, however, the boy noticed that as he got closer to the cave, the usual mounting pressure disappeared today!
Until he reached the door of the cave, he did not feel a trace of suffocation, which made the young man extremely curious, so he went into the cave that he had not seen for a long time.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a cold gaze in the cave, shooting straight at him
