Chapter 3 The person staring at me?
Out of curiosity, I quickly walked into the house and immediately saw Tao Bai sleeping on the big bed under the window.
He was lying on his back with a thin quilt covering him. He was breathing peacefully and comfortably, and there was nothing special about him. But after taking a few steps into the house, I frowned.
If an ordinary person came here, he might not feel anything, but cultivators are particularly sensitive to all kinds of smells, not to mention someone with excellent spiritual awareness like me. At that moment, I discovered that the breath in this room was abnormal.
.
Lu Shan leaned against the door and said to me: "You feel it, right?"
"Well, this room is filled with pure Yang energy leaking out. What's worse is that as Tao Bo's breathing rises and falls, anyone who senses something is wrong will know that it has something to do with Tao Bo." I tried my best.
He said in a calm tone, but his heart was already extremely shocked. A cultivator with profound skills can control his breath and momentum, and even further, he can relax and release it as he pleases.
Tao Bo's situation should be that he could not control his pure Yang Qi well, causing the Qi to leak out, but it was rare to exaggerate it to such an extent that it almost filled the entire room.
"Actually, I am prepared for this situation." Lu Shan came over and pointed to a corner of the house where special runes were carved. Lu Shan continued: "There, there, there are such runes!
The purpose of writing is to prevent the breath from leaking out. It can be regarded as a secret of my lineage, but it can only do so much to prevent the breath from leaking out of the house. All abnormalities will not be restored until Tao Bo wakes up.
"
"Yeah." I responded casually. Tao Bo's secrets were more curious than Lu Shan's. Reminiscent of his battles in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, it could be explained.
But even so, I always feel that this person is special. He doesn't look like an accomplished master in spiritual practice. On weekdays, he can keep his breath so restrained that I don't notice anything unusual about him. However, when he is unconscious, he is like this.
general appearance.
Seeing me thinking, Lu Shan walked up to me and said: "Chengyi, I know you are very curious. But there are some things that are much better not to know than to know. If you know, life will be very tiring. It's really tiring."
Yes, just like me."
"Just like you?" I glanced at Lu Shan. Could it be that his calmness, restraint, and depth were all tempered by this kind of hardship?
"Yes, just like me." Lu Shan smiled bitterly, and then said: "Look, you can feel something is wrong when you enter the house, let alone Jiang Yi? If he wants to investigate further."
While talking, Lu Shan walked to Tao Bai's bedside and lifted the quilt off Tao Bai's body. I was shocked when I took a look. I found that the area where Tao Bai was covered by the quilt was red. It was a very exaggerated red.
It was like a fire was burning, and the red color was still flowing faintly, just like the texture of feathers. It was so confusing to see that Tao Bai had a thin layer of red light on his body.
"This situation is pretty good. At the beginning, my whole body was so red, like cooked prawns. Now the redness on my limbs and face has faded," Lu Shan said.
"When did this situation start?" When he was in the Lake of Ghosts, Tao Bai was still normal.
"It started right after his soul came out of the light pillar at the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. It's just that you didn't notice it. His attacks usually start from the chest, spread to the whole body, and then slowly
fade away, shrink back to the chest, and finally recover
Returning to normal was just the beginning in the Lake of Ten Thousand Demons, so you didn’t notice it. Later you fell into a coma, and by the next morning, most parts of your body were already like this. Fortunately, it hadn’t hit your head or face at that time.
It saved me some trouble." Lu Shan explained with a wry smile.
What kind of strange symptom is this? I have never heard of it, but thinking about Tao Bo and the power of the Suzaku that he later attracted, I still couldn't help but murmured and asked: "Is he a human? Or a Suzaku?"
This question is silly. Tao Bai is obviously a living person. Is it possible for Suzaku to exist? Even if it exists, it is probably the same as the legendary dragon and cannot be in this space at all.
But when faced with my question, Lu Shan took it seriously. He said to me: "The truth is not what you guessed! Without the Suzaku, where would the Suzaku come from?" At this point, Lu Shan's attitude became a little excited.
I don’t understand why Lu Shan was so excited. To be honest, this is not like Lu Shan’s style of dealing with things at all. He probably noticed his emotional fluctuations and suddenly sighed, and then said to me: "Chengyi, no
Sorry. I just want to say, look at how this world is
There are many Chuma Immortals. People in the world can't tell whether they are real or fake. But although the Taoists we always know never provoke the Chuma Immortals for many reasons, they still don't know clearly in their hearts. The Chuma Immortals are also human beings. Can you?
That they're a snake? Or a weasel?"
Lu Shan's words may sound strange to others and have nothing to do with the topic we want to talk about. But I know that this is already a small part of the answer Lu Shan gave me. This answer is vague and cannot be delved into.
.
The only thing that is certain is that Tao Bo is indeed a living person and not some random thing?
I nodded, patted Lu Shan on the shoulder and said to him: "I can help with this, and Tao Bai is a good kid. Regardless of whether he is a human being, even if he is really Suzaku, I still treat him as Tao Bai, even though I am
People have an unusual lack of imagination and cannot accept the fact that there are Suzakus in this world."
Lu Shan looked at me and smiled, his eyes showing deep emotion for the first time. He patted me on the shoulder and said nothing. After a moment of silence, he said: "Shall we go to the courtyard in front? Others are waiting.
After a while, it’s time to say all the unpleasant things. There are many practitioners who have weird tempers and think of themselves as noble.”
"That's right." I said with a smile, and then walked out of the room with Lu Shan.
————————————Dividing line——————————————
I have always disliked social interactions, especially when a room full of strangers pretended to be familiar with each other, exchanged greetings, and gossiped for a while, as if they were brothers in life and death. I couldn't handle it from the bottom of my heart.
But things like socializing with favors are the most helpless things in the world. After all, people are lonely social animals. They have the instinct to defend themselves and want to maintain a safe distance, and they also have the social attribute of living in groups and communicating. Therefore, this matter is something that everyone needs.
It is unavoidable unless you have completely retreated from the world and purified yourself.
The circle of cultivators may seem mysterious to ordinary people, but in fact the social interactions are no different from ordinary ones in the world.
I was a little dizzy, dealing with strangers one after another. This vein and that door had almost made my brain jammed, not to mention the names and Dharma numbers. Even my excellent memory was starting to get knotted.
Just as Lu Shan said, it's lively, it's really lively! One or two hundred people crowded into this courtyard, just like the scene when Hu Village was evacuated.
Lu Shan only described it as lively because he was restrained. According to my heart, this place is already noisy.
No matter what earth-shattering things I have done, I am still a junior in the circle of cultivators that pays great attention to seniority, and represents a person who is not worldly. I can almost be regarded as the mysterious Lao Li in their eyes, so no matter what I do
Even if you collapse, you still have to smile and deal with it one by one.
Brother Chengxin was standing behind me, looking at me with a look full of gloating sympathy. With my intervention, the others were relieved and had already found reasons to avoid going there. Brother Chengxin still stayed, and according to the
What he said was that he wanted to see how I, the senior brother of Shanzimai, would suffer.
This kind of social interaction lasted for almost an hour. I was talking a lot of things, which made my mouth dry. It was not until the dinner was about to start that people dispersed from me. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Brother Chengxin handed me a glass.
Give me the tea.
"I didn't expect that my lineage, Lao Li, has always been low-key, but finally you, the third-generation senior brother, created a lively reputation." Brother Chengxin said with a smile next to me.
"Are you gloating about your misfortune? You know very well that we don't interact with people in the circle very much. Even if it is lively today and dispersed tomorrow, we will not really join the circle because of this." I put down the hand in my hand.
cup.
"Yes, we don't have much contact with people in our circle. Even if we do, we are always kind to others. But some people may not necessarily think so." Brother Chengxin's words seemed to indicate something.
"What do you mean?" I frowned and thought about it carefully. Apart from some entanglements in the matter itself, the only thing that really targets my lineage, Old Li, is Master Xiao. Could it be that there are others?
"Don't look back, just pretend to look inadvertently. There is a boy staring at you in the northwest corner. I have been quietly observing him. He has been staring at you since you appeared, almost two hours. If not
His eyes are really not very friendly, I thought he fell in love with you." Brother Chengxin smiled and whispered to me, while saying hello to others, let Brother Chengqing and others come out and were about to sit down.
"Really? Could it be that I fell in love with you and you relied on me? You know, you are a male fox who kills both men and women." I also joked with Brother Chengxin in a low voice, but my eyes were pretending.
Tsukuru looked towards the northwest corner casually.
Even so casually, I caught someone's eye. This situation can only show that, as Brother Chengxin said, someone has been observing me.
