Chapter 2 The Chosen One
After leaving the community, turn around the intersection.
Zhao Futu stopped in front of a shop selling tofu pudding. Aunt Lan likes to eat tofu pudding, the kind of tofu pudding that is white, tender, smooth and light without adding anything. Aunt Lan is a woman who knows how to enjoy herself. Her ancestral home is Beijing.
, from a scholarly family, I have never heard her say much about her birth as Zhao Futu, but she is very picky about food and has a very elegant artistic vision, so that she actually developed good cooking skills inadvertently.
I have to say it’s fate that plays a role in this!
After turning a corner, Zhao Futu walked through the intersection and stopped in front of a high-end women's clothing store called 'Yameng' in the front section of the commercial street.
"Auntie, what do you think I brought you?" As soon as he entered the store, Zhao Futu saw a graceful and elegant woman sitting in front of the counter with her hair on her arms and a light blue dress.
He raised the tofu pudding in his hand and showed a flattering smile. Because Aunt Lan came from a scholarly family, she was born with a special temperament. Every time he saw her, Zhao Futu felt like he was facing the teacher in elementary school.
, inexplicably guilty.
Speaking of which, what Zhao Futu fears most in his life is actually Aunt Lan in front of him.
Seeing Zhao Futu's flattering expression, Aunt Lan rolled her eyes at him, a little dumbfounded, but then she said with a straight face: "Come here, I have something to tell you."
"Okay!" Zhao Futu came up behind Aunt Lan with a shy face, placed the tofu pudding on the table, put his slender white hands on her shoulders, and kneaded them gently.
"Aunt Lan, try it, I just bought it."
Zhao Futu is very familiar with the acupuncture points of the human body, because if a monk can't even remember a few acupuncture points, it would be ridiculous to tell people. He is a single-parent family, and his family was very poor in his early years. His mother worked hard every day to raise him.
, I often suffer from back pain when I come back. Zhao Futu matured early and felt that he should do something, so he taught himself massage very early in order to help his mother relax her muscles every day.
pity……
Things in the world are impermanent, and 'the child wants to be raised but the family does not respond'. There is nothing more miserable than this in life.
Zhao Futu's technique was very good, and Aunt Lan couldn't help but close her eyes comfortably, but then she opened her eyes, grabbed Zhao Futu's finger, pulled it in front of her eyes, looked at it, and then complained: "Why are the nails so long?"
No? I don’t know how to cut it off.”
After saying that, Aunt Lan took out the nail scissors from her small bag, grabbed Zhao Futu's hands, and trimmed them carefully.
"This... isn't very long." Zhao Futu said helplessly, a little embarrassed.
Aunt Lan is a very good person, but there is one disadvantage, that is, she is more strict than his mother. Just like when he comes to her shop, Zhao Futu must tidy himself up carefully first, otherwise he will definitely
He was criticized. But such actions always made him feel warm. After his mother passed away, Aunt Lan was his closest person in the world.
His ancestral home is Jiangnan. After a great flood in 1998, he and his mother came to the north to live together.
Zhao Futu sat down and listened to Aunt Lan grabbing his hand and complaining softly, saying that he was just so unclean and careless about his image, how could he find a wife in the future.
Anyway, it's the same.
At this time, he could only sit quietly and wait for Aunt Lan to finish speaking.
After trimming his fingernails, Aunt Lan looked over them again and again, and after confirming that there were no flaws at all, she let him go with satisfaction. She was a very picky woman who paid great attention to the details of life. She put Zhao Futu's fair and slender hair into shape.
He placed his fingers on his palms, rubbed them carefully, and said slowly: "These hands are just like a girl's hands. You don't know how to take good care of them!"
When Zhao Futu heard this, he was immediately speechless.
What is this?
"Okay. Tell me, what's the matter?" As if she saw Zhao Futu's speechless expression, Aunt Lan raised her hand and brushed her long hair, showing a charming smile, and said slowly.
"Nothing, I just came to see you." Zhao Futu quickly shook his head and said.
"Okay, I have watched you grow up. You are always courteous for nothing, and you are either raping or stealing! If you wag the tail behind your little butt, I will know what you are thinking! Tell me, what is it? As long as it doesn't count.
It's too much, I promise you." Aunt Lan glanced at Zhao Futu and pretended to be disdainful. Zhao Futu is not a person with too complicated thoughts. For an extremely intelligent woman like Aunt Lan, she wants to find out.
His background is really too easy.
When Zhao Futu heard this, he immediately felt a little embarrassed.
"Really? Doesn't Auntie care about it?" Looking at Zhao Futu's troubled expression, Aunt Lan suddenly showed a playful expression on her face, her beautiful red eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth also raised a slight arc.
Although Zhao Futu's name is quite domineering, in front of Aunt Lan, it is of no use at all and is just a decoration.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just like a piece of jade and want to buy it." Looking at Aunt Lan's expression, Zhao Futu knew that his little plan was too naive in front of Aunt Lan, so he could only say shamelessly.
"Xiao Futu, I said you are not young anymore." Aunt Lan was not aware of her sick words at all. She grabbed Zhao Futu's hand and said earnestly again: "I know a little bit about what happened when you were a child. You practice
Just practice Qigong to maintain your health, but don’t get too addicted to it. Cultivating Taoism and other things are not all feudal superstitions, but this is not something ordinary people play, right?"
"You are the only child in the old Zhao family. You said you would become a monk if you were obsessed with it!"
"How should I explain this to your mother?"
Zhao Futu once again expressed that he was afraid of Aunt Lan. He smiled bitterly and explained: "Auntie, don't worry. I won't become a monk, really!"
Growing up, Zhao Futu bought a lot of strange things because he was curious about the way of alchemy. This always made the two women nervous, fearing that one day he would not want to become a Taoist priest. But fortunately, he has not had such an idea yet.
, in recent years, apart from buying some jade and setting up strange Bagua formations, I just sprinkled some dried sandalwood and did other things, which was not too out of the ordinary.
But Aunt Lan just felt that there was a big difference between a young man in his early twenties who always liked these weird things and people of this age group.
She always felt uneasy.
"Tell me, how much does it cost? I'll buy it for you." Finally, Aunt Lan sighed, touched Zhao Futu's head lovingly, and said slowly.
Zhao Futu glanced at Aunt Lan carefully and whispered: "Thirty-six thousand."
"What!?" Aunt Lan jumped up when she heard this. She stretched out her delicate hand and grabbed Zhao Futu's ear, roaring: "Tell me! Did you do something bad outside? Then you came back to lie to me.
?Did you get into any trouble?"
Zhao Futu was in pain and immediately raised his hands to beg for mercy: "Auntie, it really doesn't happen!"
"That's a piece of blue field jade. It really costs that much! This price is after a discount. What kind of trouble have I gotten into since I was a child? You can't slander me!"
"The moon in the sea has tears, and the sun in Lantian is warm and jade produces smoke."
"You taught me to recite this ancient poem. That piece is real Lantian jade. You should know that Lantian jade is quite expensive, right?"
Hearing this, Aunt Lan suddenly frowned and looked at Zhao Futu with suspicion. After seeing his magnanimous expression, she loosened her fingers and scolded him with a pretty face: "No! You have nothing to do with buying this."
What's the use of expensive jade! This thing can't be used as food. I spent a lot of money to buy you a house last year, and now that prices have risen so much, how can I have spare money to buy you such expensive jade."
But as she talked, Aunt Lan became a little soft-hearted again.
She glanced at Zhao Futu, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you really want to buy it, Aunt Tianlan will ask a friend to bring you another piece of jade."
"Little Buddha, please don't buy such expensive jade, okay?"
Zhao Futu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The contrast between Aunt Lan's before and after was too great. But for some reason, his heart felt warm and swollen, as if something was about to overflow. On impulse, he actually hugged her.
Aunt Lan kissed her and then put one on her left cheek. However, after doing so, he regretted a little and said quickly: "Then I won't buy it. Auntie, you eat slowly, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he ran away.
"You brat! You even dare to eat my aunt's tofu! You are so tired of living!" Aunt Lan raised her hand and touched the place where Zhao Futu secretly kissed her, pretending to be annoyed.
But seeing him running away in embarrassment, I couldn't help but smile.
………………
On the way back, Zhao Futu was still a little scared.
Although Aunt Lan dotes on him sometimes, he is really afraid of this Aunt Lan. Although Aunt Lan looks weak and shaken by the wind, when she gets really angry, her power is amazing!
Zhao Futu's ability to open bricks is really not enough for Aunt Lan.
Sometimes, he would also be curious about how Aunt Lan was born. With her ancestral home in a place like the capital, Aunt Lan's birth must be extraordinary.
Entering the community and going up the stairs, Zhao Futu lives on the third floor.
"I definitely have to buy jade. According to ancient books, when the fate is broken, various spirits in the form of demons and ghosts will appear. If you don't have something to protect yourself, it will be easy for these evil spirits to interfere with the sea of consciousness and dislocate the true energy.
, went crazy!" Zhao Futu walked up the steps and thought in his heart: "I have been practicing by myself all the way. Without a master to protect me, I can only start from other places."
master?
Nowadays, there are many good and bad cultivators. It can be said that it is the most chaotic era. If you just know something, you will start to deceive people under the banner. There is no trust at all.
That’s why the gang of gangsters on the Internet are running rampant.
Since you can't rely on others, you can only rely on yourself. In reality, aside from those strange and weird things in legends, the only thing that can really protect the body and calm the soul is jade.
Among them, Lantian Jade has the best effect!
But just when Zhao Futu was thinking about these problems in his mind, the stairs he was climbing up experienced surprising changes! The winding stairs seemed to have no end, and a black cloud surrounded them.
The black clouds are billowing and tumbling endlessly, and there is a faint trace of strange red light in them. The deep red light contains a mysterious power that is breathtaking and captivating!
In the corridors, black clouds were still surging crazily, like a carnival that had no beginning and would never end. There were also terrifying red lightnings intermittently. There was no sound, but it swept across the earth with a rush.
The terrifying momentum! The boundless black clouds shook and rolled, and then dispersed. Amidst the waves of terrifying power, a huge arch appeared that seemed to connect the heaven and the earth. The arch had a metal-like texture and the color of flesh and blood, and there was chaos on it.
Ferocious fangs and sharp teeth!
The ghost-headed copper door slowly opened, and then a huge suction force came from it!
Before Zhao Futu could react while he was thinking, he was involuntarily dragged into the ghost-headed bronze door by the terrifying suction force, which looked like a beast with a huge mouth!
At this time, a mysterious and low voice echoed in this space shrouded in terrifying power.
"Target locked!"
"The space is opened! Host data is automatically extracted, and the contractor number is generated..."
"Welcome to the nightmare space! The Chosen One!"
