The short old man in front of me, wearing a dirty and fat robe, is the Gray Fairy in the Sanqing Temple. I helped him to become a human being, which was a kind of grace for him. His feelings for me are very similar to that of Hu Xiangu to my grandfather, and many of Hu Xiangu's magic skills were taught by my grandfather, so she would perform the younger generation's etiquette.
Thinking of the determination of the white fox when it ferried me across the river, a trace of sadness suddenly rose in my heart. From ancient times to the present, there has been no shortage of ungrateful villains. People say that birds are ruthless, but there are crows who feed their parents. They all say that fish and shrimps are cold-blooded, but they don't know that the salmon in the deep sea will stay aside after laying eggs until the fish hatch, feed the fish with themselves, and finally turn into a pile of bones.
The difference between humans and animals lies more in the word "emotion".
Shu Huachun smiled, his eyes were just a slit, he walked a few steps closer to me, took my hand and said: "It has been more than a year since we parted at Sanqing Temple that day, I, an old Taoist priest, have been looking forward to your call. A few days ago, a group of people who claimed to be from the sect came to take me in. I heard from them that the Taoist friend seemed to be in trouble, but I was anxious and had no way to do anything."
His excitement was absolutely true, and to be honest, it also made me feel a little touched. At this time, He Shasha spoke from the side: "Since you know each other, it will be easy, let's get in the car together."
"I want to soak in the hot spring first to drive away the bad luck." I said.
But the Mercedes driver suddenly refused to do it, he pointed at me and said: "Why are you so nosy, do I have to find two girls for you to eat meat? Hurry up and get in the car!"
I looked back at He Shasha, spread my hands and said: "I must go to the hot spring, if not, you should lock me up again."
"Why? Is the bath center okay?" she said. I shook my head and told her that she had to take a hot spring bath, because it was 'earth water', and a clean bath would help to get rid of bad luck. Besides, I had been in prison for two nights, and my aura was definitely disturbed. Besides, I was in the Feng Shui business, so I had to pay more attention.
"Miss, I think he is shameless. Does he really think he is a big shot? He still wants to take a hot spring bath. He is spoiled. If I can't cure Mr. He's illness, I will chop off his fingers." The driver was furious.
From the situation and the conversation, it is probably that they met the underworld. Don't think we are so powerful. If we are so powerful, there wouldn't be so many people killed by bullets in the Songhua River.
But Shu Huachun was not happy. He squinted his eyes, walked in front of the young man, raised his head, pointed at his face and said, "You are so rude. I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your father." After saying this, he suddenly blew at the man.
The young man immediately covered his nose and said in disgust: "You ate shit, why is it so smelly!"
As soon as he finished scolding, Shu Huachun laughed like a mouse. In just a breath, the young man's eyes began to become distracted, and the whole person seemed to be crazy and turned around in circles.
Everyone around was dumbfounded. After all, it was sunny and broad daylight, and it looked so weird.
Shu Huachun pointed at the crowd one by one and said arrogantly: "Watch your words, otherwise I, the old Taoist priest, will turn you into stink bugs."
I understand this trick. The foul breath that Shu Huachun exhaled disturbed the opponent's magnetic field and caused his five senses to be misplaced, so he would unconsciously turn around in circles. But today the sun is very strong, and the opponent can recover in three minutes at most. But the current process looks more intimidating.
The burly men did not dare to make arrogant remarks anymore, and they showed some fear. Then Shu Huachun came up to me and said, "You guys, do you really think that I, an old Taoist priest, am easy to bully? Let me tell you, I am the one who is merciful to God and I don't want to care about you. Otherwise, you will all report to the King of Hell."
He Shasha was very impressed by Shu Huachun's move. She said, "Master, this move is really powerful. As long as you can help me get things done, I will never treat you unfairly."
"Then let's go to the hot springs first to welcome my Taoist friend." Shu Huachun said.
When Lao Pao recovered his five senses and squatted on the ground with a pale face, no one dared to express different opinions. He Shasha asked someone to change the driver, glared at the man, and said, "Don't embarrass yourself here, go to the car behind."
The other party spit out a few mouthfuls of acid and was helped into the car, while Shu Huachun and I sat in the back seat. He Shasha asked someone to buy me some clothes, and then we went to Masanjia to soak in the hot springs. The Mercedes-Benz fleet along the way was extremely shocking. If you didn't know, you would probably think that some big brother was released from prison.
I was very curious about how Shu Huachun could leave Sanqing Temple? You know, it has not been through the thunder tribulation. If there is no Taoist temple to protect it, it will definitely be struck by heavenly thunder, and it may fall into ashes. But now he is still chatting with me leisurely, and he doesn't care.
When we arrived at the hot spring town, He Shasha got off the car. She looked very stylish in sunglasses, and the burly man following behind us made us the focus instantly.
As for me, I was shirtless and wearing birthday pants on my lower body. If I hadn't worn them backwards on purpose, I would have definitely attracted a lot of attention.
He Shasha asked the driver to buy tickets for us. She said, "I'll wait for you two outside. The driver will take you two in. How long will it take to take a bath?"
I said 30 minutes would be enough. After hearing that, He Shasha slowly walked towards the Mercedes-Benz car wearing sunglasses.
I whispered to Shu Huachun, "What do they do?"
"Some time ago, they asked me for help. I saw that this woman had the Seven Killings in her fate. I knew she was not a kind person, so I gave her a slap. But in the end, they went to the Taoist temple and kidnapped me in the middle of the night yesterday. They were just bandits." Shu Huachun complained.
After listening to him, I guessed that I might have accidentally provoked the underworld. Most of the underworld here are businessmen who have gathered some subordinates to organize underworld gangs. But don't underestimate the gangs. They are rich and powerful. If they do some illegal business secretly, then these people are much scarier than those in Hong Kong movies.
Also, don't think that the so-called underworld is like the loyal and righteous people in the movies. Few people who lick blood on the tip of the knife have a good ending.
I went into the private room with Shu Huachun, and I lay in the hot spring pool to get rid of bad luck. I was facing dirty water in the past two days. Today I am going to clean it with ground water and wash it thoroughly to completely get rid of the troubles that Xianchi may bring me.
To relax my tense nerves in recent days, I asked: "Daoyou, how can you leave the temple? I remember you haven't passed the thunder punishment yet?"
Shu Huachun squinted his eyes and smiled: "Look at my back. A few days ago, I was cleaning the Taoist temple. Suddenly, I saw a child in red clothes came to me. She said that her mother had an evil disease and asked me to go and treat it. But the weather was cloudy that day. I was a little hesitant. Who knew that the child cried and begged me, and I couldn't help but go."
His spine was straight, because only the human spine can stand upright, so I smiled and said: "Looking at the face of Daoyou, it should be the day when the lucky star came."
"Guessed right." Shu Huachun smiled and touched his goatee, and then told me briefly.
The woman he rescued that day was already more than seven months pregnant. Although pregnant women are blessed by the gods, it does not mean that they will not get sick. So when Shu Huachun arrived, he found that the woman did not have any evil disease, but was shocked by the cold water when she was drawing water from the well. Now she had a fever and was talking nonsense.
Moreover, the woman's husband was working away from home, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not in harmony, which led to their separation long ago. It was only the child who had to walk the mountain road to find Shu Huachun. Just when Shu Huachun was about to prepare some medicine for her, the woman's amniotic fluid broke.
In the past, it was often said that premature births were "seven months alive, eight months dead", so premature babies in July could still be saved. Shu Huachun had never learned to deliver babies, but he could only bite the bullet and learn from the plots he had heard, boiling water and hot towels, and finally gave birth to the child. However, the most taboo thing for the earthly immortals they practiced was the blood in the birth canal of women.
So when the child was born, the old Taoist's thousand years of hard work was destroyed, but the premature baby's vitality was too weak. Shu Huachun felt that since his Taoism was gone, it was useless to keep the demon pill, so he broke the demon pill and smeared it on the newborn's body, using the thousand years of essence to make up for the child's congenital deficiency.
Originally, Shu Huachun was going to return to his mouse body to practice again, but he unexpectedly got a blessing in disguise. If he hadn't happened to lose his Taoism that day, the thunder would have killed him. After the demon pill was broken, when Shu Huachun was about to turn into a beast, he was hit by the human energy when the child was born. If it was normal, it might not be a big deal, but at this time he was at the critical moment of shifting his nine orifices and restoring his beast body.
His sacrifice to save others accidentally inhaled this most refined human energy, which accidentally allowed him to remove the last trace of demon energy from his body. Although he would never know any demon magic in the future, it was a blessing in disguise, saving a thousand years of hard work and turning into a human.
He took a long breath in the hot spring and said, "I was originally going to travel around, but he caught me. No matter what, I have finally grown up. It doesn't matter if my life is short. I have been to toilets, warehouses, fields, alleys, and houses. But for thousands of years, I have always been hiding in dark corners. This time I can be a human being with my head held high and seek freedom. Even if my life is only a few years, I am satisfied." Shu Huachun's thoughts made me sigh. Isn't Hu Xiangu the same idea? But things in the world are impermanent. After all, there are gains and losses. Thinking of the three-year request from the Grandmaster, I pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, what are your plans for the future?"
"Plans?" Shu Huachun smiled and said, "The only plan is to go back to Beijing. When I first regained consciousness, I still remember that I was at the foot of the Great Wall."
I felt that Shu Huachun had lived for a long time and must know a lot of things. Now I don't know what my future will be like, but the merit bag that Yuanshi Tianzun mentioned is not fake. It's better to have someone to help me than to go through the trouble of making 100 million by myself, so I said, "Can you please stay and help me, fellow Daoist?"
"What for?" He asked doubtfully.
I glanced at the sky helplessly and said, "Help me make 100 million."
