If you think about it carefully, what Chen Liqiu said is very reasonable. If you want to repay your kindness, why should you wait until tomorrow? If we say goodbye today, we may not see each other again in the future.
Seeing Changsheng following him, Chen Liqiu, who was walking behind, immediately came back and asked with a smile, "Hey, have you changed your mind?"
Changsheng nodded.
"Let's go over and talk to Master." Chen Liqiu pulled him forward.
Daochang Lin and others stopped and turned around, waiting for the two of them to follow.
Changsheng walked up to Taoist Lin, lowered his head and said, "If it hadn't been for the rescue by the Taoist Priest and several heroes earlier, I would have been beaten to death by the villagers. It was rare for Lao Huang to die with his body intact. I should repay the kindness I received from others, but I Without gold and silver, I cannot repay you now. I can only follow you and see what I can do for you. If you are willing, I will follow you. If you are not willing, I will go elsewhere."
After Chang Sheng said this, Chen Liqiu and others were a little surprised. They thought that Chang Sheng would beg Lin Daozhang to accept him as his disciple, but they didn't expect that he would actually say these words. However, Lin Daozhang was very satisfied with Chang Sheng's words. After all, accepting a disciple requires time to observe and understand, so it would be too abrupt to ask for a disciple by chance.
"Haha, let's go." Director Lin turned around and went ahead.
When Taoist Lin said this, he naturally agreed, and everyone took Changsheng on the road together.
It was almost five o'clock at this time, so everyone stopped looking for their dormitory and hurried on in the dark, walking eastward.
Although Changsheng is lame, it is not serious. He can walk normally and will not be a drag on others.
Everyone had a good impression of Chang Sheng. First, they admired his love and justice. In order to protect a dying farm cow, a young man dared to make enemies of dozens of villagers, sacrificed his life to protect each other and would rather die than retreat. How brave. Furthermore, I sympathized with him, so he was lonely and helpless, and his legs and feet were not convenient.
Among them, Chen Liqiu was the most talkative. He didn’t know that Baturu and Mayumi had already introduced everyone to Changsheng during the time when he and Lin Daochang entered the village. This time he introduced everyone in detail. The boss, Batulu, was twenty this year. He was five years old and had been with the master for nine years.
The second eldest brother, Li Zhongyong, was nineteen years old and had been with the master for four years.
He is eighteen and has been with the master for three years.
The fourth child, Mayumi, is sixteen years old and was taken in by his master last year.
Except for the eldest, Batulu, all three of them have families.
While Chen Liqiu was speaking eloquently, Taoist Lin who was walking in front suddenly stopped. Everyone followed his line of sight and looked north. They saw a fallen jujube tree not far to the north. The tree was dark and seemed to have been burned. Burned.
"Master, did lightning strike the tree?" Li Zhongyong was quite excited.
"It should be." Taoist Lin walked over.
Everyone followed him to the fallen jujube tree. It was a jujube tree as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The break was located at the lower part of the tree. The trunk was dark but the branches and leaves were still green.
Just when everyone was looking at the jujube tree, Batulu suddenly pointed to the northwest and said, "Master, there seems to be one there."
After hearing Batulu's words, everyone found an elm tree that had been struck by lightning a dozen feet away on the west side.
After taking a closer look at the two trees that had been struck by lightning, Director Lin looked puzzled, frowned and shook his head, "Something's wrong."
"What's wrong, Master?" Batulu asked.
Taoist priest Lin replied, "Both these two trees were struck by lightning not long ago. Ordinary rainfall and thunder will never fall in two places so close to each other."
"What do you mean?" Li Zhongyong asked.
Taoist priest Lin did not answer Li Zhongyong's question, but said to everyone, "Search this area carefully to see if there is anything unusual."
After hearing Taoist Lin's words, everyone immediately started to search separately. Only Chang Sheng stayed in the same place. He did not participate in the search for two reasons. First, he did not know what to look for. Second, he was very familiar with this area. It was him. The hilltop where I lived last night.
The top of the mountain was not that big. Soon everyone searched the top of the mountain and found a cave on the mountainside. However, the cave was very small and everyone only looked outside.
The results of the search made Taoist Lin even more confused, leaving everyone to cut down the lightning-struck jujube trees and go to higher places to check the terrain here.
For people in the Taoist sect, lightning-strike wood is a top-quality weapon for making magic weapons, especially lightning-strike jujube wood, which is the most yang thing. After being struck by lightning, the power of thunder remains in it, so it is perfect for restraining yin things.
While cutting down the lightning-struck wood, Li Zhongyong and others were also chatting casually. Changsheng learned two important pieces of information from the conversations. First, although they followed Taoist Lin, Taoist Lin did not teach him martial arts. The second reason why they are confused is that in addition to the two trees here that have been hit by lightning recently, there are also some old trees that have fallen down and were also hit by lightning. Various signs indicate that there have been many transitional catastrophes here. Thunder.
"Brother Li, what is the Tribulation-Transcending Heavenly Thunder?" Changsheng asked in a low voice.
"We are all our own people. Don't let others see you. From now on, just call me second brother." Li Zhongyong corrected the title of Changsheng with a smile, and then explained, "To talk about overcoming the thunder of calamity, we must first start with the practice of aliens. , the seven orifices of aliens are incomplete, and their practice is not tolerated by heaven. Therefore, the practice of aliens needs to go through many catastrophes, one small catastrophe every hundred years, and one major catastrophe every thousand years. Every disaster will trigger the thunder of transcending tribulation. If there is good luck, you can escape it. If you escape the sky thunder, your Taoism will become more profound. If you have bad luck and do not escape the sky thunder, you will be wiped out by the sky thunder."
"You mean there are monsters in this mountain?" Chang Sheng asked nervously.
Li Zhongyong shook his head and said, "If there are really advanced aliens here, it would make sense. The key point is that this mountain peak does not hide the wind and gather energy, the vegetation is not strong, and there is no clean water source. It is not suitable for aliens to hibernate and practice."
After Li Zhongyong finished speaking, Chen Liqiu said, "In addition to the trees knocked down by thunder, we also found many traces of lightning strikes in the mountain. Judging from the direction of this mountain peak, this is not a place with many thunderstorms. It should not be The only possibility that caused so many sky thunders to fall here is that aliens once lived here to survive the tribulation. But this theory does not make sense. First of all, this place is too close to the village and is noisy, so it is not suitable for aliens to hibernate and live. Secondly, the tribulations of alien beings may occur once in a thousand years or once in a hundred years, but if you look carefully at the dead trees in the mountains that were knocked down by thunder, you will see that they did not happen a hundred years ago, but concentrated in the last few years."
"What do you mean?" Changsheng asked cautiously.
"What I mean is that this matter is unreasonable, and it doesn't make sense no matter how you put it," Chen Liqiu curled his lips and said, "By the way, you live nearby. Do you know if anything strange has happened here?"
Changsheng shook his head. Chen Liqiu and others didn't know why, but he knew very well that he was the cause of the many thunders here, but he didn't dare to tell Chen Liqiu and others.
It's rare to meet someone who understands, so Chang Sheng naturally won't let go of the opportunity and asked, "Third brother, does the thunder that transcends the tribulation only hit monsters? Can it hit people?"
"No," Chen Liqiu shook his head, "Unless you are a person transformed from a different species, or a Qi practitioner who has reached the pinnacle of cultivation, only when you reach the level of purple Qi cultivation will you cause thunder."
Chang Sheng originally wanted to ask if he was a human being, but this thought just flashed through his mind. He knew that he was a human being. Even if he didn't believe in himself, he still believed in Daochang Lin and others. If he was really a monster, they wouldn't be able to can not tell.
He also wanted to ask if there was anything dirty on his body that would be struck by lightning, but this ridiculous thought just passed by for a moment. Taoist Master Lin was a Taoist priest. If there was really something dirty on his body, he would definitely be able to see it.
Everyone cut down the jujube tree that was struck down by lightning and put it away. It was already dawn.
Taoist priest Lin also rushed back, with a puzzled expression on his face. Needless to say, he did not find the reason why the Tribulation-Transcending Thunder frequently appeared here.
Everyone packed up their things and continued eastbound. Daozhang Lin, Li Zhongyong and others kept talking about the matter during the journey. After previous observations, the possibility of aliens living here has been ruled out, but the frequent occurrence of the Tribulation-Transcending Heavenly Thunder here is. In fact, there is only one reasonable explanation for this, and that is that aliens who originally lived in other places came here to survive the tribulation...
