Chapter 4 Immortals?
Chapter 4: Gods? ()
But their father and son didn't know how lucky they were just now. If they were a little later, Fu Lou would be a different kind of life and might even cause killing disasters.
Shortly after they returned home, a petite figure flew rapidly from the distance from mid-air. In a few blinks, they arrived at the place where the fighting had just happened. They floated on top of a large rock by the river like a dragonfly. From their light body, it can be seen that they were a young girl.
It was just dawning at this moment, and it would not be surprising if ordinary people saw this scene, because in the eyes of ordinary people, they might just think that a thicker cloud and mist floated in the sky, and perhaps they might think that they were dazzled.
"The master's thousand-mile messaging talisman was sent out from here, but where is the master?" The figure searched back and forth by the river and thought to himself.
The petite figure had already discovered the traces left by the two of them during the fight, so they began to carefully investigate nearby. After a while, the petite figure discovered the stick that fell when the middle-aged man in black and the box containing the God-Destroying Crossbow, and put them away together.
Then, the petite figure wandered around for a long time and found a large flat stone to sit upright until it was too late, and stood up straight, steered his sword and flew away with melancholy.
That night, Fu Lou tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. The scenes that happened during the day were like pictures that kept appearing back and forth in his mind, deeply stimulating his young heart.
Fu Lou couldn't understand why the two weapons that could fly in the sky would float in the air and not fall? It was so magical!
He didn't understand why the girl in green became an old woman after her death. It was simply horrifying. When he thought of this incident again, he still couldn't help but have goose bumps all over his body and his neck was cold.
Of course, he couldn't understand why the man and woman fought for the so-called jewel, and they used all their conspiracy? At his young age and simple life experience, did he think this is necessary? I really don't understand...
Two living people died miserably in front of him, which was a deep fear for him who saw the dead for the first time. During this day, he was always a little demented, and from time to time he looked around because of inexplicable tension. At this moment, he was lying on the bed late at night and remembering this, and his hands couldn't help but hold on to the quilt tightly, just like a person who fell into the water, and even if he saw a straw, he had to hold on to it.
It is not surprising that Fu Lou is so afraid. After all, he is just a child less than nine years old and has never seen a life and death scene before. This is because Fu Lou matured early in his mind. If he were other peers, his performance during the day would probably not be so calm, and he might have been shocked and cried.
After a while, he remembered the two strange bags again. Both bags were not big, the small ones were only the size of a palm, and the flat ones were not as thick as the palms, but they could hold a five-inch-long sharp short sword and several large boxes. Depending on the situation, it seemed that they could hold a lot of things. They were really two amazing bags?
Thinking of the two small bags, Fu Lou stood up and saw the two small bags that were placed on the table beside the bed before going to bed. The two small bags were yellow and black, and they looked exactly the same. There was a rope made of unknown animal skin connected at both ends of the bag. He pulled it, which was very tough. Judging from the length of the rope, it can be used to hang it around the neck or tie it to the waist.
Fu Lou remembered that the yellow bag belonged to the woman in green. So he picked up the yellow bag and weighed it lightly. He rubbed it again, it was very strong, and I don’t know what animal skin was made of. Then he took the leather bag under the oil lamp and looked carefully. He found that there was a hint of light on the leather bag, and strange patterns and symbols were painted around the leather bag. With his knowledge, he didn’t know what these patterns and symbols meant.
Looking inside from the mouth of the bag, he saw that it was dark and seemed to be very big, but he couldn't see anything. Fu Lou tried to reach out to the mouth of the bag with his hands, but he seemed to encounter some invisible resistance and could not reach in at all, let alone take out the items inside. Then he grabbed the edge of the bag with both hands and teared it to both sides, but could not pull it at all.
Then he found a knife and cut the yellow bag hard, but there were no marks on the leather bag, let alone cut it open. In this way, he couldn't open the leather bag for a long time, so he had to give up, put the yellow bag back on the table, and lie on his back on the bed.
Fu Lou still couldn't sleep while lying in bed. He remembered the strangeness of the man and the woman, and the legendary story in "Shan Hai Jing" that he once saw in his grandfather. There was a story about "nodded stones" that made him still feel strange.
There was once a miserable woman who worked hard to raise her son alone and obeyed her everything she wanted. However, her son was too spoiled since childhood and did not want to improve, and she was fooling around in the casino all day long. Gradually, all her wealth, which was originally wealthy, was sold out by her son and gambled.
At this time, the woman was old and could not stop her unruly son. She also understood that spoiling her son too much would lead to the consequences today. The old woman regretted herself and thus became desperate. So the old woman went to the riverside outside the house, jumped into the river, and jumped into the river.
At this time, a stream of water flashed across the river. As soon as the old woman's feet touched the river, they were pulled ashore by an invisible big palm. The one who pulled her ashore was an old Taoist who was a child-haired and kind-hearted person. After the old Taoist asked about the old woman's death, he sighed and asked the old woman to go home, saying that he would help her find her son and let her son change the gambling.
The old woman's son did not repent at all after meeting the old Taoist.
So the old Taoist asked, "Zhu Zi, how do you want to repent?"
"Unless you can nod your head to agree," the old woman's son pointed to a long stubborn stone that was about to be feet long by the side of the road. It was impossible for him to think.
"Okay! Then let's try." The old Taoist said calmly.
So the old Taoist walked to the long stubborn stone and looked extremely serious and said to the stubborn stone: "Stubborn stone, stubborn stone, if you hear me and want this guy to change the gambling, please nod."
The old woman's son couldn't imagine that the old Taoist would do this and couldn't help but laugh with contempt.
But before the smile on his face faded, a miracle happened. The long stubborn stone stood up slightly, and then the top of the stubborn stone bent to the old Taoist twice, as if it was nodding.
The old woman's son was shocked at this time and kept saying: "I was wrong, really wrong. God's will! Is it God's will? God wants me to correct it... God's will is hard to disobey." He was completely awakened at this time, with a feeling of shame on his face, sometimes white and sometimes red.
Then the old woman's son knelt down on the ground with a loud bang, kowtowed to Dawanshi three times, picked up Dawanshi, and rushed home without looking back.
When he returned home, he immediately knelt down to the old woman, burst into tears, and claimed that he was an unfilial son. From then on, he did not leave the door and studied hard and treated the old woman with all his heart. Soon, he passed the exam for the scholar and then passed the Jinshi exam. He became an official, with a clean and honest official reputation and the name of the Qing Dada Master is far away.
From then on, the allusion of "Nod of the Stubborn Stone" has been found in the world.
Thinking of this, Fu Lou understood that the stubborn stone in the story must have been manipulated by the old Taoist, and it was exactly like the man and woman who controlled the stick and fought with the golden sword this morning.
"God?" Fu Lou had a sudden thought at this time. Could it be that these two people are gods and this leather bag is also a god? But how could the gods appear by the Liusha River for no reason? Could it be that they are not gods, but monsters? Then Fu Lou began to think about it randomly.
Liang Xiang, Fu Lou murmured to himself: "No matter whether he is a god or a monster, those two small bags are definitely not something that ordinary people can use. You must hide them well so that you will not be discovered."
Before, Fu Blacksmith Fu had not stopped the fight between the man and the woman before Fu Lou finished talking about the entire passage of the man and the woman, so he didn't know that Fu Lou had retrieved two leather bags. Now Fu Lou found that the leather bags were not something that ordinary people could use, so he didn't want to tell his father about the two bags.
When he thought about doing it, Fulou found a clean small clay pot, put the two leather bags in, and covered the lid. Then he looked around the house for a few times before climbing under the bed, uncovered a brick on the ground under the bed, and dug a small hole. After digging the hole, he put the small clay pot containing the leather bag in and put the brick back to its original place.
