Chapter 1 Back to Lake Village

I have experienced coma several times, but never like this time, my consciousness was so clear, and I watched the memories being completely annihilated in my consciousness.

This memory is extremely messy, and the most profound impression is the pain of splitting one's soul with the secret method, and the tranquility that seems to have never changed during the years of self-sealing.

In my scattered memories, I saw what Master and the others looked like when they were young, but there were no specific incidents.

I also felt all the happiness when I figured out the opportunities brought by my disciples and grandchildren, and the exhaustion after the operation.

Finally, I saw that the most unshakable thing deep in that memory was the things that needed to be done in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and the few secret techniques that were left deep in the memory to be passed on to us. These had almost become the will of the soul.

However, these have all dissipated. After replaying them once while I was in a coma, they completely became other people's memories mapped in my mind, separated from my personal will, so that I would not confuse these as my memories.

The rest was integrated into my soul. In the coma, I also felt that I was inexplicably stronger.

"Master" I murmured in a low voice, as if this time was a farewell, a farewell after a brief reunion with my master, but the warmth and touch in my heart inexplicably overflowed my whole body, releasing the remaining residual energy.

The power of the soul to protect me, this is the warmth given by the master.

"Are you awake?" A voice rang in my ears, and my mind was recovering. When I thought about it carefully, I heard that the voice belonged to Lu Shan. I tried to open my heavy eyelids, and my vision gradually settled, and I saw the person in front of me.

Who is it if the person in front of me is not Lu Shan?

At this moment, Lu Shan was sitting on a stool next to my bed, holding a cigarette in his mouth. His face looked a little melancholy. Seeing me wake up, this melancholy dissipated to a certain extent.

"Want cigarettes or water?" Lu Shan asked me as his eyes gradually regained their clarity.

"Water, then smoke." I answered simply. People who have experienced life and death battles together always get along more casually.

After drinking a large bowl of sugar water, Lu Shan lit a cigarette for me and stuffed it into my mouth. I took a deep breath of the cigarette and said casually: "Why is it sugar water? It feels like a child after drinking medicine."

, just like giving a bowl of sugar water to coax you."

"Sugar water will help you replenish your physical energy." Lu Shan exhaled a puff of smoke and explained casually.

"Have I been unconscious for a long time? Where are they?" I blew out a smoke ring and watched the smoke ring gradually getting bigger and bigger in the air, and then gradually faded away. I didn't ask where it was, because when I was awake,

At that time, I knew I was in Hucun, because this was Uncle Zheng’s home. I stayed here for a few days before setting off to the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

"It didn't take long, just two days. I talked a lot of nonsense intermittently, but I also said a lot of useful things." Lu Shan said lightly.

Does that mean I still talked in my sleep? Did I also say useful sleep talk? I laughed when I heard it, and then asked Lu Shan: "What did I say? Is there anything useful?"

Lu Shan's expression became a little strange, and then he pondered for a moment, and then he organized his words and said to me: "Well, you are probably speaking as your master, and you are talking about the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts Project.

Similar. What is useful is one of the passages. You said that there is only one chance in a million that a dragon can become a dragon. Waiting for this opportunity is like betting on dice and winning a hundred big ones in a row. If you want to find Penglai, you must make human efforts. This time

Xiao Chengqian's acquisition of the dragon soul is one of the opportunities."

Afraid that I didn't understand, Lu Shan explained again: "We have analyzed that old Taoist Master Li should use the pure soul that has dispersed his will to replenish your soul, but this requires a process. In this process, he is more or less

I came into contact with some of your memories and will. So I used the remaining power to convey that paragraph of words through you. The other words should be nonsense spoken during the process of the will dissipating. After all, those things in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, it feels like

This is the most important thing in the remnant soul of old Taoist Li."

"Really." I frowned slightly. Lu Shan's words were the same as what I felt when I was in a coma, but I didn't know that Master did such a thing for us when he lost his will.

"What your master said needs to be carefully analyzed before you wake up. Don't think too much." Lu Shan put out the cigarette butt, stood up, and walked around the room randomly. I saw that his eyes were a little red.

, people also feel more irritable.

I remembered something and asked them. Lu Shan didn’t answer me. Thinking of this, I said, “Lu Shan, do you have anything to say to me alone?”

Lu Shan didn't say anything, but just moved some decorations on the cabinet opposite. It was said that they were some antiques collected by Uncle Zheng. They couldn't be called many treasures, but most of them were small objects with quite clever ideas. It was good to play with them occasionally.

"Lu Shan." I called out. It looked like he was focused on these objects and didn't listen to what I said.

"Hmm." Lu Shan responded, casually placing these small items on the cabinet, then put his hands in his pockets, turned to me and said, "Chengyi, it's very lively outside."

"Why is it so lively?" I had finished smoking the cigarette in my hand, and I casually stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray that Lu Shan had just placed beside my bed.

"We went to the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. The situation was unclear at the time. Didn't we ask Ji Feng to inform many people that there was still a three-day appointment? After you fell into coma, we waited for dawn to take you away. As a result, we met those people on the way.

People are here. A lot of people are here." Lu Shan said calmly.

"Are there a lot of people here? That's not the key. The key is what are you upset about?" I asked seriously, and after a little speculation about the situation on the Monsoon side, I could understand that it was said to be three days, but out of worry, Monsoon

The troops should be divided into two groups, one group repairing the outer formation, waiting for us, and one group searching for reinforcements.

"I received an order from Jiang Yi to wait where we are. He will come here." When Lu Shan mentioned this, his brows immediately furrowed and he took out another cigarette in annoyance.

Jiang Yi? Coming? How did Jiang Yi know?

I was about to speak when a loud voice came to my ears: "I heard voices in the house. Brother Cheng must have woken up. I'll go take a look."

This voice belonged to Uncle Zheng. He was still so full of energy. The voice came before the person arrived. His sudden arrival made it difficult for Lu Shan and I to continue talking.

Lu Shan's expression returned to normal, and I also made a calm expression. By coincidence, I also wanted to ask Uncle Zheng about the situation in Hu Village. It would be great if he came.

The door opened, and Uncle Zheng walked into the room. He still looked energetic, but I saw a trace of despair in Uncle Zheng's eyes. As for why, I still can't figure it out.

"Chengyi, it's been two days, have you finally woken up?" Lu Shan brought a stool and asked Uncle Zheng to sit down beside my bed.

"Uncle, why don't you bother worrying about me? Aren't you awake now?" I said casually and politely.

"Why are you so polite? Speaking of which, you young people are really pushing back the waves of the Yangtze River. Not only are you a great benefactor to Lake Village, but you have also solved the crisis in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. It is us who thank you! Are you still polite to me?"

Uncle Zheng smiled heartily and happily. Although he said this politely, he was extremely sincere.

I also smiled and didn’t know how to answer. In fact, where is the credit only for us? If you think about it carefully, the ferryman, Master Hongren, hundreds of Buddhist and Taoist souls, and the soul power accumulated from generation to generation sealed in the boundary monument,

Mindfulness, after all, is not a whole thing that we can accomplish alone.

It's just that this matter involves too much, so I didn't answer the call because I couldn't explain it clearly, and I don't know if Brother Chengqing and the others have explained the situation. It seems that they must have concealed something.

Thinking of this, I changed the topic and asked Uncle Zheng: "Where is Hu Village? How is the situation after being surrounded for so many days?"

Speaking of this, Uncle Zheng's face became a little heavier and he said: "There must be sacrifices, but fortunately at the most critical moment, a few of us old immortals used secret techniques to save most of the people.

The fact that Lake Village is still there is a blessing among misfortunes. Although the crisis in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts has been resolved, our Lake Village lineage still needs to be protected from generation to generation to prevent the formation from being destroyed."

Uncle Zheng spoke with great emotion. I remembered the trace of despair in Uncle Zheng's eyes, and couldn't help but worry about this straightforward old man. I couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, how is your body?"

"My health is not in the way. I have lived a long time anyway. What we cultivators talk about is merit! I am very happy that I can accumulate a lot of merit at this age." Uncle Zheng did not say anything clearly.

But I have already guessed that Uncle Zheng's so-called secret technique must have touched his origin, and he will show a trace of despair.

The situation is actually very pessimistic.

But since Uncle Zheng didn't want to say more, I didn't want to ask more questions. I just admired this old man from the bottom of my heart.

The conversation fell into silence for a while. Uncle Zheng seemed to have remembered something and stood up and said: "Since you are awake, I will inform them to prepare for the banquet. Many people are preparing to see you. Please hurry up and clean up."
