Chapter 3 The Mysterious Youth(1/2)
In the early morning, the dense water vapor condensed on the leaves into crystal clear water droplets. After drawing a beautiful arc in the air, it dripped onto the young man's face.
The sudden coolness brought Qin Shaoyou back to reality from his dream.
"This dream is so tiring..."
He put one hand on his forehead and woke up in a daze.
"May I have your name..."
A hoarse voice sounded behind him. Qin Shaoyou was startled and immediately turned over and jumped up.
In the pool not far from him, a pale young man was sitting cross-legged in the water. When he saw him waking up, he raised his head and looked at him.
This man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He looks like he is no more than thirty!
Only then did Qin Shaoyou recall what he saw last night!
He hurriedly looked around, only to find that the corpses from last night were gone, but the blood-crusted dirt on the ground told him that what happened last night was not a dream!
"you...."
"You're not dead?"
There was a trace of fear and a trace of expectation in Qin Shaoyou's words.
"I..." the young man smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, "I'm not dead, and I won't live long..."
Qin Shaoyou was startled for a moment.
"I...my name is Qin Shaoyou, what about you?"
"You must be a hunter in the mountains, why are you here?" The young man took a deep look at the hunting knife on his waist and asked himself.
Qin Shaoyou swallowed subconsciously and replied calmly:
"I want to go to Yunwu Mountain to find immortal cultivators and become my disciples!"
"Um?"
The young man was a little surprised. In the eyes of these mortals, the so-called immortal cultivators were all immortals, and they always asked for the elixir of immortality when they met, which was very annoying.
If there really was an elixir of immortality, he would want to take it himself, but would it be their turn?
But the words of this young man were different from those of all living beings.
"Do you want to become an immortal?"
Seeing that he really mentioned this matter, Qin Shaoyou knelt down respectfully and said sincerely:
"Senior, great master, I, this junior, are striving for a fairy fate. Please give me some advice!"
Seeing his expression, the young man seemed to have seen his past self.
It's just that his current end was something he never could have predicted.
The young man in front of him didn't know what kind of road was waiting for him.
He felt a little compassion.
"The path to immortality is so long. How many people have truly ascended to immortality in the past and present?"
"You'd better give up this unrealistic idea and go home!"
Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoyou shook his head without any hesitation.
"Just because there is no one before, it doesn't mean there will be no one after. Whether I can become an immortal or not, I won't know until I try it myself!"
The young man obviously didn't expect these words to come from a young man's mouth.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to persuade:
"You know, once you set foot on this road, you can't turn back!"
"There is only one act of defiance, and there is only one outcome of failure, and that is to be wiped out in ashes! Have you thought about it?"
Qin Shaoyou was shocked, but then he nodded firmly.
"Even if there are many difficulties and dangers, I will never back down!"
The young man's eyes seemed to soften. He thought for a moment and then said:
"Last question, why do you want to become an immortal?"
"Why...why?"
Qin Shaoyou was slightly stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Why?
In order to seek immortality? Ask about the way of heaven?
Such an answer would be too illusory.
How long does it take to live forever?
How long does it take to be considered enlightened?
After thinking for a long time, his frown relaxed.
"Perhaps...it's because of the unwillingness in my heart!"
The young man's shoulders trembled slightly when he heard these words, as if these words brought back some past events in his heart.
"Hahaha, okay!"
"What a reluctant person!"
His originally dim eyes suddenly became radiant, and then he stood up from the water with a splash, revealing the chapped wounds all over his body!
Qin Shaoyou was horrified. Only then did he notice that the body of the young man in front of him was like broken porcelain. He looked extremely terrifying!
Before he could speak, the young man waved his hand, and in an instant he had put on a brand new Taoist robe, hiding all the wounds on his body.
"Senior...this is what you are doing!"
Qin Shaoyou was stunned.
The young man jumped onto the boulder, and a jade bottle appeared out of thin air in his hand. He poured out a dark pill from it, raised his head, and swallowed it!
After swallowing the pill, the young man's face quickly returned to color.
He stared blankly at this scene. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you truly feel the shock of the extraordinary means at your fingertips!
"The first step in cultivating immortality is to open the Jade Gate!"
"Come here, I'll help you open the Jade Gate!"
The young man held back his excitement, obediently climbed up the boulder, and sat across from the young man.
"There is a jade gate on the top of the human skull. Only by opening the jade gate can we absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and understand the vast way of heaven!"
"Please bear with it, it will hurt a little!"
The young man took a deep breath, raised his hands, and gently held Qin Shaoyou's head.
The latter nodded solemnly.
He was not worried that this person would harm him. After all, Qin Shaoyou was just an unknown person. If this person had murderous intentions, he would have done it last night.
The young man circulated his spiritual power, and for a moment, his whole body emitted a bright red light.
Qin Shaoyou only felt that millions of slender steel needles were piercing into his head, and the severe pain even penetrated into the depths of his soul!
Or if there are countless ants biting his head, he feels that his whole head is about to explode!
"ah!"
He couldn't help but roar.
This process lasted for about half a stick of incense. Just when Qin Shaoyou felt that he could no longer hold on, the young man spoke again.
"The Jade Gate has been opened. Now the spiritual energy is poured in and will merge with your three souls and seven souls. You must always remember your name!"
He reminded solemnly.
When a mortal opens the Jade Gate and spiritual energy enters the human body, the first thing to change is the soul.
The three souls and seven souls shattered and merged under the influence of spiritual energy, forming a brand new ideology, which is the immortal soul.
The formation of the immortal soul is an irreversible process. Once a mortal embarks on the path of cultivating immortality, there is no turning back. If the immortal soul is broken, unless there is a great opportunity, the path of life and death will disappear, and even the chance of reincarnation will be completely lost!
That’s why this young man said, “You can only act against heaven once”!
The perceptual ability that accompanies the fairy soul is called spiritual thought. The divine thought can leave the body and can explore designated areas. For those with strong fairy souls, the divine thought can even be embodied and become the image of its owner. This step is the incarnation of divine thought!
Of course, these are still too early for today’s teenagers.
"My name is Qin Shaoyou!"
"My name is Qin Shaoyou!"
"My name is..."
"My name is..."
