Chapter 68 Thousand Talisman Gate, Zhang Youcai
Zhang Youcai carried a load of firewood and walked on the rugged mountain path back to the sect.
He is the pyrotechnics handyman of Qianfu Sect. He does not participate in the practice of making talismans. He is only responsible for chopping wood and boiling water in the back mountain and other chores.
In the Qianfu Sect, there are no less than a hundred disciples who are in the process of tempering their muscles and bones, as well as ordinary chores such as planting melons, forging iron, forging knives, grinding, carrying water and firewood, etc., which adds up to a huge team, just like a gang in the secular world.
, also have to eat, drink, and do a lot of mundane things. Without these people, it would be impossible!
Zhang Youcai is one of them. He has a blind old mother and a younger brother who is 12 or 13 years old. The family of three relies on him to make a living as a pyrotechnics handyman for Qianfumen. They work hard all day long and are bullied. They live in an extremely embarrassing way.
!
"Hey, why is there a dead person here?"
Zhang Youcai put down the load of firewood on his shoulders and slowly approached the person lying on the path to see if he was a member of the sect he knew.
When he got closer, he saw that he was an extremely young man, with no clothes on his body, and a shockingly huge wound on the back of his hand, revealing his white bones.
However, the strange thing is that this young man is breathing evenly and long, and his breath is continuous, as if he is sleeping!
"Hey, little brother, wake up quickly. It's almost dark. Go home and sleep!"
After shouting for a long time, seeing that the young man made no movement, Zhang Youcai bravely pushed the young man, but still no movement!
"Probably drunk!"
Holding the gourd in his hand, Zhang Youcai opened the lid of the gourd and poured half of the gourd water on the young man's face with anxiety, hoping to wake him up!
For doing this dangerous move, Zhang Youcai was already prepared to be yelled at or beaten up by this person! Looking at the long breathing of the young man in front of him, he knew that he was an accomplished monk. Mortals like them, in these
They are like ants in the eyes of the monks. If they annoy these people, the consequences will be life-threatening!
But Zhang Youcai couldn't bear the thought of this person lying here. In the Holy Beast Mountain Range, there are many ferocious beasts that prey on humans. If this person sleeps here, there is a high chance that he will be devoured by the ferocious beasts, and not even the dregs will be left!
After pouring all the half-gourds, the young monk still didn't wake up. Zhang Youcai couldn't help showing a confused expression. After hesitating for a long time, he took off his coat and robe, leaving only the mandarin jacket close to his body. It took a lot of effort to put the robe on.
The young man, who was as hard as iron, left behind the firewood and carried the young man on his back as he moved step by step towards the mountain behind Qianfumen.
A beautiful colorful butterfly was flying around Zhang Youcai.
...
The mountain behind Qianfumen is the residence of all ordinary servants who cannot practice. It is located in a huge mountain depression. Occasionally, I see a monk disciple with a magic weapon on his feet coming through the air. With a wave of his hand, the cooked food disappears.
And flying, the disciple then rose into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye...
The sky was already as dark as ink, Zhang Youcai finally carried the sleeping young man back with a squeak, and saw from a distance dim lights like beans in his four dilapidated huts.
The young man on his body was really too heavy. Although Zhang Youcai could not practice cultivation, he was extremely tall and his long-term physical work had made him very strong. He could easily carry three to two hundred kilograms of firewood, but this guy on his back was
It was so heavy that Zhang Youcai was sweating profusely from carrying it...
Pushing open the ajar bamboo door, a thin figure woke up from a nap:
"Brother, you are back, but you scared my mother and me! We thought something had happened to you!"
The thin figure rushed to Zhang Youcai's side, but when he saw the young man on his back, he couldn't help but stop throwing himself into his brother's arms and took a few steps back in panic!
Such a thin figure, but his voice is hoarse and muffled, like an old cow!
"Is Youcai back? Why are you so late, making your mother worried?"
A bamboo door on the back wall of the hut slowly opened, and an old woman groped the wall and stepped out shakily.
Zhang Youcai placed the young man on his straw mat bed and hurried to help the old woman:
"Mom, you haven't slept yet. I bumped into this sleeping guy on the road today, which delayed my return home and made you worried!"
"Brother, what kind of person are you? My son, you are just too honest and loyal, but you must not cause any trouble. Your sister...ah, your brother is still so young. What if something happens to you?
, this family is finished!”
Zhang Youcai helped his wife sit on a chair and then nodded:
"Mom, Youcai knows the situation of our family, but meeting each other is fate. I can't just watch my little brother lying on the mountain road and being killed by a vicious beast! This is the only blessing Youcai can give to my little brother.
, he seems to have been seriously injured, whether he can wake up or not, we can only do our best and leave it to fate!"
The colorful butterflies on the eaves clearly heard Zhang Youcai's simple words! These words from the heart changed the life of Zhang Youcai, a simple man, and gave him a great achievement that was unimaginable in his dreams.
Creation, and finally became a generation of heavenly masters!
After listening to her son's words, Zhang's mother nodded:
"Yes, it is not the virtue of our poor people to ignore death. Since you and he have met, it seems to be destined by God. Let's try our best to help him recover!"
At this time, Zhang Youcai's younger brother suddenly screamed with a hoarse voice:
"Oh, he was injured on his hand! I can see the bones, what should I do, brother?"
Zhang Youcai approached Zhang's mother's house and soon came out with a medicine basket:
"Why are you in such a hurry? You're not a young man...you're a young man. You're not ashamed yet. Why don't you be more reserved!"
Although the words were harsh, the smile on his face and the soft gaze he looked at his younger brother showed Zhang Youcai's doting on his younger brother!
The thin figure also ran to his brother's side happily, holding Zhang Youcai's arm and watching him find dried vine roots one by one from the medicine basket...
...
A month has passed!
Zhang Youcai returned home after a day of working as a handyman. His mother had already fumbled to prepare the meal, and the family of three gathered around the wooden table and began to eat.
"You are so talented. Do you think Master Lazy will wake up? Why do I feel more and more depressed in this room every day? It seems like I am carrying something very heavy on my back. It's really strange!"
"Yes, yes, ever since this lazy guy came to our house, the air seems to have solidified. I always feel that my breathing is extremely difficult. But when I go far away, I no longer have this strange suffocation feeling! Brother
Do you think this is because of lazy people?"
Zhang Youcai listened silently to what his mother and brother were saying. He finished the bowl of rice and kept picking it into his mouth, but he didn't say a word!
Lazy Master is the name given by his younger brother to the unconscious young man on the bed. It means that this guy is very lazy and hasn't slept enough after sleeping for a month, but he is like those cultivators who can survive without eating or drinking without starving to death!
Zhang Youcai also discovered a strange phenomenon. After carrying the sleeping young man back home, his aura seemed to be getting stronger and stronger!
Unlike his younger brother and my mother, he doesn't know anything. He has been doing odd jobs for Qianfu Sect all year round, and he has learned a lot of common sense about cultivation through his ears and eyes. Knowing this suffocating aura is a manifestation of this young man's cultivation!
Now that this person has been sleeping for a month, his cultivation aura has become many times stronger! Just a trace of leakage has already made it unbearable for him and his mother and brother! I don’t know how this mysterious young man can do it even in his sleep.
To increase his cultivation? Moreover, the extremely serious wound on the back of his hand has now healed as before, without leaving even a scar!
Back in the room, Zhang Youcai helped Lazy Master up from the bed, carried him on his back, and then said to his brother:
"Take all the quilts on my bed and follow me."
When Zhang's mother heard this, she asked strangely:
"My talented son, what are you doing? You can't do something unconscionable just because your mother complained to your brother!"
"Mom, don't worry. I'm moving my little brother to the cave where our family stores dry food. It's a quiet and safe place. It can prevent others from discovering the existence of the lazy master, and it can also prevent you and your brother from being suffocated. It just kills two birds with one stone.
Woolen cloth!"
When Mother Zhang heard this, she felt relieved!
Zhang Youcai's thin younger brother rolled up some of his quilts into a bundle and trotted along behind him.
A colorful butterfly flew on his head, making the skinny boy look happy!
For a month, he noticed that this colorful butterfly was often flying at his door. One day, he couldn't help but shouted stupidly to the butterfly in the sky:
"Butterfly Butterfly, can we be friends?"
After shouting, the young man felt that it was a bit ridiculous, and he giggled unconsciously!
However, the beautiful colorful butterfly seemed to understand his words. While fluttering its wings, it actually landed on the young man's shoulder!
Just like that, Zhang Youcai's younger brother has an extra friend!
...
There are many storable dry goods in the cave. The temperature inside the cave is suitable, warm in winter and cool in summer. During the cold winter and hot summer seasons, Zhang Youcai's family will move to this secret small cave to survive the most difficult winter and summer seasons!
After Zhang Youcai waited for his younger brother to spread the bedding on the ready-made wooden bed, he laid down the lazy master on the bed, covered him with the quilt, and ordered:
"Little brother, remember to come and see Lazy Master from time to time. If anything unusual happens, you should inform big brother as soon as possible. Don't forget it!"
...
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed!
Half a year ago, Zhang Youcai's family suffered from strong pressure coming from the cave where mountain goods were stored. It was difficult for them to breathe inside, so they all just watched from a distance and could no longer enter the cave!
On this day, Zhang Youcai's younger brother came to the far side of the cave as usual to see if the aura of the lazy master had become stronger again!
He was afraid that if it continued to grow like this, his family of three would have to move! The aura coming from the cave more than a mile away from the hut gradually extended to almost a mile away, and only a little bit spread to where the hut was.
!
However, this time, the young man found that as he got closer and closer to the cave, the usual gradually increasing pressure disappeared today! He was surprised to speed up his pace, and concentrated his consciousness to feel the surrounding...
Until he reached the entrance of the cave, he didn't feel a breath of suffocation, which made the young man extremely curious, so he got into the cave he hadn't seen for a long time.
