Chapter 289: Golden Core Monk (Insert Extra)
My name is Hu Shi. I am an inner sect disciple of the Baijian Sect under the Wuji Holy Land, and I am a powerful golden elixir master.
……
One hundred years ago, Yun Kingdom in Western Xinjiang.
And in the Cloud Country, there is a quiet and peaceful little village - Qijia Village.
"Shi'er! It's time to go to the mountains to herd cattle!" Along with this shout, a burst of brisk footsteps suddenly sounded in the village.
"Here I come!" the boy responded excitedly, then trotted towards the cowshed.
After a while, he was seen skillfully leading the old cow, his face filled with joy, and slowly walked out of the village.
Along the way, the breeze caressed the boy's face, and he felt particularly happy.
Suddenly, as if remembering some important treasure, the young man carefully reached into his arms and took out a piece of dirty silk cloth with ecstasy.
Although the silk cloth looked a little worn out, the young man regarded it as a treasure.
When he slowly uncovered the silk cloth, he found that inside was the dry biscuits that his mother had made for him.
Originally, the dry biscuit was intended for him to eat at noon, but the greedy boy could not resist the temptation of delicious food and could not help but take it out to taste it before he even reached the mountain.
After opening the silk cloth, you can see that it is unexpectedly clean and tidy inside.
The shriveled cake in front of me looked a little different. Its color was mottled, some places were gray, and some places were yellow.
The reason for this peculiar appearance is actually very simple, that is, this poor village does not have many rich and diverse ingredients to choose from.
This cake is made from a variety of coarse grains and wild vegetables. Although it does not look good, it is a rare delicacy for the teenager.
Herding cattle can be said to be the most frequent thing the young man does in a year.
In this vast area of western Xinjiang, due to climatic conditions, cereal crops can only mature once a year.
The corresponding harvest season only comes once a year.
Therefore, most of the time, the boy was responsible for leading the cattle to the mountain and ensuring that the cattle had enough to eat.
During the harvest season, when cattle work the most, they need to be fed concentrated feed and do not need to go up the mountain.
"Xiao Shi, are you here to herd cattle again?"
When they arrived in the mountains, a strong man wearing animal skins greeted the young man.
The boy recognized him, he was a famous hunter in the village.
Because his family had no arable land, he could only go up the mountain to hunt some game and then sell it to wealthy families in the nearest big city.
"Hello, Uncle Hu Li." The boy responded politely.
The two did not talk much and each did their own thing.
Time passes bit by bit,
Soon it was noon. The young man looked at the silk cloth in his hand and swallowed his saliva.
Regret why I ate my lunch on the way.
Reluctantly, he shook off the residue on the silk cloth, then carefully picked it up and put it into his mouth.
"what!!!!"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the woods.
The boy was very familiar with this voice; it was Uncle Hu Li whom he had greeted in the morning!
He quickly stood up and tried to run towards the woods.
But halfway through the run, his mother's voice echoed in his mind.
"Don't go deep into the woods, there are wild animals there!"
He suddenly stopped, his face full of fear and anxiety.
"It's okay...Uncle Hu Li might have stepped into the trap he set." He comforted himself.
He turned around and wanted to go back to the cow.
But after that scream, no more sound was heard.
The whole forest was eerily quiet.
"Gudong." He swallowed nervously.
Thinking that Uncle Hu Li was very good to his family, any extra prey he had in the past would be given to his family to improve their food.
Thinking of this, he plucked up his courage, closed his eyes and rushed in.
Following the direction of the sound, I ran for an unknown amount of time.
He was completely lost.
"Uncle Hu Li!" He tried calling the other person's name, hoping to get a response.
But the reality went against his wishes, and the only responses he got were the chirping of insects and birds.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
At this moment, a violent cough was heard not far away.
He bravely went to find the sound.
After walking for a while, I found a figure behind a huge rock.
But it wasn’t Uncle Hu Li.
Looking at the other person in a Taoist robe, the young man asked nervously, "Are you an immortal?"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The man in the Taoist robe coughed for a while.
"Wow--"
He suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood, which scared the young man.
He sat down on the ground and backed away repeatedly.
"Don't... don't be afraid, kid, come here..." the man in Taoist robe called him weakly.
Seeing the boy's frightened expression, the man chuckled, and it seemed as if he had used up all his strength.
The smile was extremely forced, "You know I'm an immortal... You've seen an immortal, right?"
The young man shook his head in confusion, "Mother said that only immortals can bleed so much and not die."
"Mother also said that immortals will never die. No matter how much time passes, they will never grow old!"
The man in Taoist robes slumped on the ground, blood still oozing out of the hole in his stomach.
He reached out his hand painfully and pressed it, trying to stop the blood loss.
Then he took a deep breath and asked the boy, "Do you want to become an immortal?"
"Fairy?"
It was obvious that the boy was very unfamiliar with this word and didn't even understand what it meant.
"Can you eat enough food if you become an immortal?"
The man suddenly smiled, "Okay..."
"And I can be served by the most beautiful woman!"
"You can make many people kneel before you and submit to you!"
These young men didn’t care much, all they cared about was having enough food to eat.
"I want to become an immortal!"
"I want to eat a full meal!"
"I want to feed both my father and mother!"
Looking at the boy's innocent appearance, the man smiled and waved his hand slowly, "Come here...eat it and you will become an immortal!"
At some point, a small round ball appeared out of thin air in the man's hand.
He was naive and didn't have too many thoughts. The three words "have enough food" kept tempting him in his mind.
He walked up to the man, picked up the ball and swallowed it.
Soon, he felt a little sleepy.
She leaned against the man and slowly fell asleep.
The man looked at the boy sleeping soundly and gave a wicked smile, "Go to sleep... Go to sleep, and you will never be hungry again when you wake up!"
…………
The boy didn’t know how long he slept, he only knew that he had a very long dream.
He vaguely heard someone screaming in his ear, "Three days... Three days!"
"Why don't you wake up, you idiot?!"
"With your shitty talent, you can't even do Qi Refining?!"
"I can not be reconciled!!"
"How can I, a powerful Yuanying stage master, die in a place like this?!!!"
The boy didn't understand what this meant.
But when she woke up, the man next to her was already dead.
The boy only felt that his own feelings were very wonderful.
Standing there, he could even see the patterns on the leaves dozens of meters away.
The memories in his mind became clearer and clearer. As long as he wanted, he could remember everything he saw.
one year later……
In Qijia Village,
A kind-looking old man stood in front of the young man.
She rubbed his head and asked gently, "How old are you this year, kid?"
The boy didn't think much about it and immediately responded, "Nine years old!"
"it is good!"
"it is good!"
"Okay!"
The old man said hello three times, and his smile became even brighter. "What's your name?"
"Hu Shi."
"Hu Shi, Grandpa asks you, do you want to become an immortal?"
Hu Shih remained silent.
Because the person who asked him this question before is dead,
The promise that the immortals would have enough food to eat was not fulfilled.
After a while, he looked up and asked the same question he asked a year ago, "Can immortals eat their fill?"
"Haha, have you eaten enough?" When the old man heard this question, he made the same expression as the man did a year ago.
"Of course……"
"What's a full meal?"
"Eating people... is fine!"
…………
Ten years later...
Hu Shih stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Qijia Village below.
Next to him was the old man from ten years ago.
He turned to look at the old man, "Master, do you have to kill him?"
The old man smiled and stroked his beard, "Your mind... is too complicated."
"If you don't get rid of these distracting thoughts, you will never be able to build a foundation."
Hu Shih did not show much expression.
He calmed down and asked, "Master, do you know why everyone in our village has the surname Hu, but this village is called Qijia Village?"
The old man was startled and asked, "Why?"
"Because before we came here, everyone in this village died... It was you immortals who did this."
Before the old man could savor Hu Shi's words,
A sword instantly pierced his heart.
The old man looked at the sword that pierced his chest in disbelief, "Why...why?!"
"I am your Master!!!"
Hu Shi raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, "If I can't protect my loved ones...what's the point of me becoming an immortal?!"
"You are just a piece of trash who is only at the first level of foundation building."
After saying this, the old man was already dead.
Hu Shi wiped the blood off his face, then ran wildly all the way, following his memory to the place where the Taoist man died eleven years ago.
Seeing that the man's body had not decayed, he was more certain that this man's cultivation was far superior to that of his master.
Hu Shi did not hesitate and stripped everything off the man from head to toe.
Even a lot of pills were found in the ownerless storage ring.
That night, he returned to his familiar home and saw an old woman feeding cows in the yard.
He couldn't imagine why his mother, who was less than 40 years old, was aging so quickly?
He really wanted to rush in to save his mother, but reason told him that there was a difference between immortals and mortals.
He has now reached the peak of Qi Refining, and the medicinal power of the elixir he took eleven years ago is still residual.
It was only a matter of time before he established his foundation.
There is one thing his master said very correctly: his mind is too complicated.
The fear on the faces of mortals when they saw him after he became an immortal was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Mortals' fear of immortals is ingrained in their bones.
He was very afraid that after he told his mother that he had become an immortal, she would kneel before him.
He was even more unwilling to see his childhood playmates being respectful to him.
This…was not the home he missed.
