Chapter V Fulfilling Promises
A mountain wind blew, and Xiao Hairen woke up slowly. He staggered towards Sanyan Ferry Pier. At this time, it was already dawn. Xiao Hairen arrived at the place where the boat was stopped last night. He saw a little blood on the beach by the river. A few pieces of broken wood from the black-paned boat floated on the bloody riverside, and a blood-stained tiger pillow was placed on the water chestnut vine.
That was the tiger pillow that my sister often hugged. When Xiao Hairen saw this, tears flowed down her body. He secretly swears: You can wait for the juvenile sect, one day I, Nan Hairen, will definitely destroy you with my own hands.
His vow was not a big deal. The Juvenile Sect destined its future destiny from today - that is destruction. He picked up the tiger pillow and washed it carefully with the river water, as if he was afraid of being damaged. Then he placed the tiger pillow on the stone by the river and hung it up. He also sat down at the Yangtze River and cried silently as he watched the Yangtze River.
Xiao Hairen sat by the river and thought for a long time. He thought of his mother's care for him, his father's teachings to him, his younger brother and his sister's naughtyness when he was having fun together... All of this was because the vengeful sect was far away from him overnight, and all that was left was endless memories and endless hatred. My father was far away from the capital, and now he had no relatives. What should I do? His stomach was roaring, it was already noon. Let's talk about it first. Xiao Hairen put away the tiger pillow, reached into his arms, took out the Qiankun bag, put the tiger pillow in. Then he put the Qiankun bag close to his body and walked towards the town not far from the dock.
After finding a noodle stall in the town, Xiao Hairen ordered a bowl of noodles and started eating. The noodle restaurant was a woman in her thirties with a girl of four or five years old. She said to Xiao Hairen, "Brother, why are you eating noodles alone? Where is your adult?" This question immediately aroused Xiao Hairen's sadness. He put down his chopsticks and tears fell unconsciously, and said, "Auntie, my mother and I went to the capital to join my father. Last night, we met a robber, and my mother and sister were both killed." After that, Xiao Hairen cried out. Because she fainted last night and was blown by the mountain wind, and the sun was exposed by the river all morning, she was in an excited state. When she met a woman, she asked her affectionately. Xiao Hairen felt that the sky was spinning and fainted.
The woman hurriedly picked up Xiao Hairen, touched Xiao Hairen's forehead with her hand and pinched her to wake up. She turned around and said to the stall owner selling fire next door: "Brother Li, please help me see the stall below. If someone comes to eat noodles, they will not sell it. They just said that the stall owner has something to do. I will clean up the noodle stall later." After that, she hugged Xiao Hairen and led her daughter to the house.
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Hairen had been living in the woman's house for three days. For three days, the little girl Duan Qiushuang and Xiao Hairen were inseparable from each other. The elder brother shouted in a short voice. Xiao Hairen seemed to be back to the time when she was playing with her sister in the past.
Xiao Hairen already knew that the one who saved her was Aunt Duan. Her husband was a boatman. She was killed on the river when she was fishing two years ago. Now the mother and daughter make a living by noodle stall. Xiao Hairen's illness has improved, but she is still a little weak and will get better after recuperation for a few days. In order not to affect Aunt Duan's family, Xiao Hairen goes to the noodle stall with Aunt Duan every day to help take care of her.
On that day, two scholars talked about the topic of "believing in words and no faith" at the noodle stall. Xiao Hairen felt the illumination of his heart: Yes, my mother said this to me, since I promised the old man to send his master's things back, I should overcome all difficulties and do it. By the way, I can also learn unique skills to find the vengeful sect's people to take revenge. Xiao Hairen did it when he thought of it.
After closing the stall that night, Xiao Hairen said to Aunt Duan: "Hairen thanks for saving me and taking me in. Now my illness has been completely cured. I plan to leave Sanyandu and go to the capital to find my father. Thanks to the care of my aunt and sister Qiushuang in the past few days, I feel like home again. Thank you aunt." After that, he knelt down and kowtowed three times at Aunt Duan.
Aunt Duan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xiao Hairen up and said, "Hairen, don't thank him. This is just the duty of an aunt. I believe that if you are in trouble one day, you will be able to help you. This place is high and far away from the capital city. How can you go as a child? It's better to wait until you get older."
Xiao Hairen said: "The aunt cannot repay Hairen's great kindness. If she does not dislike Hairen's stupidity, Hairen is willing to worship the aunt as her adopted mother and will respect the aunt in the future."
Aunt Duan said, "It is really a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life. My good mother cannot ask for it."
Xiao Hairen knelt down and knocked nine times at Aunt Duan, changed his name and said, "Mom, my son should go to the capital to find his father first, and come back to pick him up to the capital to enjoy his happiness." As he said that, he took a dust-proof bead from the Qiankun bag in his arms and handed it to Xiao Qiushuang and said, "Sister, this is for you by your brother. This is the dustproof bead, and the sister will not get any dust after she takes it on her body. Then the sister is clean and fragrant every day. I will miss you when I leave."
Xiao Qiushuang took the Chenxiazhu and said, "Thank you brother, I will take it with me. As long as I miss you, I will take it out and take it out and take it out."
Xiao Hairen insisted on leaving, but his mother-in-law Duan couldn't stop him, so he gave Xiao Hairen a bag and took out all the savings from the pasta stall recently for Xiao Hairen to take out the money for going to the capital. He just waited for Xiao Hairen to take off Xiao Hairen on the road early tomorrow morning. Xiao Hairen took out most of the broken silver from the bag and stuffed it under the shop where he was sleeping, and wrote a text message in the moonlight.
The next day, Xiao Hairen shed tears and bid farewell to his adopted mother-in-law Duan and his younger sister Duan Qiushuang, and then walked along the river. He had already walked a long way. When Xiao Hairen turned around, he could still see that his adopted mother and Qiushuang were waving to him. Xiao Hairen knelt down and kowtowed to his adopted mother in the distance, and then walked forward. Xiao Hairen was inquiring and walking along the way. After all, the money given by his adopted mother was spent. Xiao Hairen begged all the way, stayed in temples at night, and moved towards Kongtong Mountain. Sometimes he wrote letters to earn some money. After experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world, he would think of his mother and his sister and his adopted mother and daughter, as if he had infinite power on his body.
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Hairen has been out for more than two months. Now it is winter, and the weather is getting colder. Xiao Hairen has grown taller and stronger, and her clothes have become a little smaller. In order to resist the severe cold, Xiao Hairen wore all the clothes in his bag, but he still felt cold. In order to keep the cold, Xiao Hairen asked for dry food for one day every day, and then trotted on the road after asking for directions.
At noon that day, Xiao Hairen was tired from running away and planned to find a place to shelter some dry food. When she opened the bag, she saw that there was not much dry food, and it was only enough to fill her hungry meal. Suddenly, when she asked for directions in the morning, the uncle told him that there was no one in the village within a hundred miles. Xiao Hairen swallowed and wrapped the bag again, thinking that she should bear it until she could eat together at night. Xiao Hairen tightened her belt and walked forward quickly.
While walking, a rabbit suddenly jumped out of the mountain roadside. When Xiao Hairen saw it, he immediately became energetic. It would be better to catch the rabbit and give it a tooth. Xiao Hairen chased after him excitedly. The rabbit ran towards the top of the mountain in a panic. Xiao Hairen kept chasing forward, and the rabbit plunged to the top of the mountain and disappeared.
Xiao Hairen went near and took a look with his hands. Behind the thatch and shrub was a one-foot-high cave. There were obvious piles of marks around the cave. Xiao Hairen pushed the hole with his hand and found that the traces sealed by earth and stone were obviously loose. With curiosity, Xiao Hairen expanded the cave with his hand one foot, just enough for one person to easily climb in.
Xiao Hairen took out a night pearl from the Qiankun bag and held it with one hand to climb into the hole. The hole was very dry, and the more it was getting wider the hole, and finally he could stand up and walk. After entering, Xiao Hairen smelled a scent. After smelling it, he was excited and relieved of fatigue. Xiao Hairen thought that what kind of thing smelled so good.
The hole suddenly turned inside. With the light of the night pearl, Xiao Hairen saw that there was about ten feet in front of him. On the side near the mountain wall, there was a pool of more than five feet wide. The water in the pool was green, but it was strangely green, and there was a trace of white air. There was a strange-shaped tree three feet tall in the middle of the pool. There were nine fiery red fruits the size of night pearls on it, and the fragrance was constantly emanating from the fruit. Next to the pool was a skeleton, and next to the skeleton was a pile of skeletons of unknown animals.
Xiao Hairen bowed to the skeleton and said, "Senior, please forgive me for disturbing me. I am so hungry that I can't bear to chase the hare. I'll catch up with the wild rabbits. After I pick the wild fruit, I will put the bones of my senior into the soil." After that, I took out the water-avoiding droplets and walked into the pool to pick nine fruits under the strange tree. As the fruit was picked, the strange tree became smaller bit by bit and disappeared.
Looking at the fiery red fruit, Xiao Hairen couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance, picked up one and put it in his mouth. The fruit immediately turned into body fluid as soon as it entered his mouth, and the fragrance left on his cheeks. Then Xiao Hairen ate two more pieces in a row and put the remaining six into Qiankun bag.
After walking out of the pool and collecting the water-retarding droplets, Xiao Hairen came to the skeleton. At this time, Xiao Hairen felt a warm current rise in the lower abdomen. The cold body felt that there was no trace of coldness. The body became hotter and hotter. In the end, she took off her clothes and was still very hot. Xiao Hairen thought: You must not be greedy in the future. It seems that the fruit is poisonous. Xiao Hairen plunged into the pool and felt a coolness rise from the top door. She was soft and soft. Unconsciously, Xiao Hairen fell asleep. Xiao Hairen's body became pink in the pool. Looking closely, the black and sticky liquid was flowing out from his pores. As the mucus flowed out, Xiao Hairen's body color also changed from pink to jade. The green liquid in the pool was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, there was no drop left, leaving only a stone pit of more than three feet.
Xiao Hairen was sleeping naked in the pit.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Hairen woke up.
Xiao Hairen felt refreshed when she woke up, and she had endless power to use her body. She felt that the cave was very bright, which was more clear than watching things with the help of Night Pearl when she first entered the cave.
Xiao Hairen hurriedly put on his clothes, put away the Qiankun treasure bag and the Ye Mingzhu that fell on the ground, came to the skeleton and kowtowed and flipped it, then took out a small sword from the Qiankun bag, dug a pit three feet long, two feet wide and two feet deep near the mountain wall, and then put the dry bones into the pit one by one. Just as he was cleaning up the dry bones, he found that there was a piece of non-paper or silk item under the dry bones, and there was a lot of handwriting on it.
The content is as follows: I am a first-level casual cultivator who has reached the Mahayana realm. Seeing that ascending to the point, I found that there was a "Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Tree" in this cave. This object is the most treasure of the immortal world. It blooms every 30,000 years and bears every 60,000 years. It will mature in 90,000 years. When it matures, the fragrance will spread thousands of miles. Eating one piece can increase the lifespan of 40,000 years. A cold dragon protects the Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Fruit at the same time. When I arrived, I saw that the Fire Dragon Fruit was still ripe for two thousand years, and I planned to be here
He opened a cave to cultivate his true nature, and wanted to use the spiritual energy of Xuantian Kong Ling Milk and the Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Fruit to ascend to the upper realm as soon as possible, but he did not want to wake up Hanlong. This divine beast thought that I was watching the Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Fruit and attacked me. I fought with Hanlong for half a month and finally killed him, but I was also severely injured, and my Taoist foundation was completely damaged, and my vitality was gone. I left a "Da Luotian Divine Arts", a bottle of Tiandan Pill, a top-grade fairy sword, another cold dragon inner elixir, thirty-six dragon balls, and a top-grade fairy weapon storage bracelet, and I gave it to the person who was destined to be Yuanshi Ancestor.
After reading the message from the ancestor Yuanshi, Xiao Hairen found a palm-shewn ancient sword, a non-gold or jade bracelet, a jade bottle and a sparkling jade slip, an egg-sized milky white ball-shaped object-the inner elixir of Hanlong, and a pile of transparent beads the size of walnuts. It seems that those are Hanlong's dragon balls. After Xiao Hairen put the bones in the pit and buried them, he worshiped three times at the ancestor Yuanshi's tomb. Then he received the items mentioned by the ancestor Yuanshi into the Qiankun treasure bag.
Xiao Hairen came out of the cave and found that it was snowing and the north wind was blowing, but Xiao Hairen didn't feel cold at all. He identified the direction and walked forward with great strides.
