Chapter 28: Retrieving the Spirit Core of the Tai Sui Sui
The heavens seemed to be determined to go against us, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the thunder in the sky was even more rumbling and incessant. The light is just a bit brighter than the night.
Perhaps, is the auger in the anger in the soar it, this thing really has this kind of ability to overturn the clouds and rain, moreover, it is definitely today is on fire, to be with us not to share a heaven and earth! But it should be seriously injured, right? It should be scared, right? After all, the old bastard spirit has already injured it, and my second uncle has beaten it up ……
Our party, including the elderly Hu Laoshi, are not wearing any rain gear that can protect from the wind and rain, all the top of the pouring rain to the north of the land running, Hu Laoshi did not take the tools, but a few of us man hand a shovel, silent, cold in the mud of the field path rushed.
Soon, we left Hu Laoshi a long way behind, yes, after all, he is old, physical strength and young people can not be compared.
After carrying out shovels from my house and Liu Bin's house as well as Hu Laoshi's house and gathering at the mouth of the river embankment, Hu Laoshi told us the purpose of the trip, to go to the temple of the old man in Yangshupo in the north of the land and to dig out the spirit nucleus of the old man. Chen Jin was dying of his wounds, or had already died. If the old taiyou was still around in the past, perhaps with its spiritual flesh, together with its spiritual power that had survived tens of thousands of years of cultivation, it should be able to bring Chen Jin back to life.
The problem is that now the old woman is no longer there, only the spirit core is still there, but the spirit core can really save Chen Jin's life, in fact, Hu Laoshi heart also has no idea, but there is another way?
No, the old woman's spirit core, is the only save Chen Jin a little chance, a little hope.
I hope the old woman's spirit core can save Chen Jin!
We all prayed secretly in our hearts, I even prayed to my old ancestor Zhao Zongming, who didn't know whether he really existed or not.
Yes, when we learned from Hu Laoshi's mouth that we had to use the old taiyou's spirit nucleus to save Chen Jin's life, the few of us did have a brief moment of hesitation and reluctance. After all, all that the old taiyou had left in this world was its spirit core, and the hope of being able to bring the old taiyou back to life was this spirit core.
But we only hesitated and struggled a little bit in our hearts, and then immediately made a decision! Could it be that, after thousands of years, after we all would have already flown and drowned, that Taiyang, who didn't even know who we were anymore, was more important than Chen Jin's life? So we immediately made the decision to dig out the old Taiyou's spirit core and feed it to Chen Jin, even if we had to force it into Chen Jin's stomach, we had to save him.
I admit, at that time, we were selfish, we did this to apologize to the old taiyou, after all, the old taiyou had saved us, helped us, it was really a good taiyou, a pure and good natured spirit.
But we have no choice, we can only selfishly come to use the old taiyou's only, go as the only way to save, save Chen Jin.
When we rushed to the dilapidated temple with the pouring rain, the temple, which was already dilapidated and shaking in the wind and rain, finally couldn't withstand the ravages of the long rain and collapsed into a heap of garbage!
Is it lucky? Or unlucky?
Luckily, we did not go into the temple, otherwise, would certainly be crushed to death in the temple.
Unluckily, after the collapse of the Temple of the Year of the Sea, this large area of debris, more difficult to increase our excavation of the old Taiyang spiritual core. Knowing that the Old Taiyang was buried deep in the middle of the Taiyang Temple, it was important to realize that Chen Jin was now about to die or had already died!
Lightning kept cutting through the deep and gloomy sky, shocking thunder kept rumbling in the sky, and heavy rain was falling.
We did it, in the face of the rain, in the face of the wind, in the face of the gloomy sky, in the face of the intimidating lightning and thunder, wielded shovels and dug up, moved the wooden beams and rafters that had been broken after the collapse of the temple, moved those bricks and fragments, and we kept on doing it, and struggled hard to dig up!
I don't know if God is intentionally scare us, or Jiao is tripping us, a lightning bolt struck a large tree not far away from the slope of the poplar tree, the tree collapsed in the rain, but also a blazing fire, but a few moments was doused by the rain, and the wisps of black smoke, but also by the rain quickly poured out of the shadow of the disappearance.
We didn't stop because of this lightning strike, and still worked hard!
When Hu Laoshi finally arrived, we had already dug out a large pit more than a meter deep in the middle of a pile of ruins, and it looked as if we were about to dig into the old woman's spirit core, yes! To dig to, the old man's spirit core is we buried, we know where to bury, know how deep buried.
Rain, the rain fell more heavily, the surrounding water in the middle of the ruins washed out a small gully, either bright or dark, and then flowed into the pit we dug out, Xue Zhigang and I jumped down, still struggling to dig, look at the direction, after a few shovels down, worried about shovels to the old man's nucleus of the spirit of the old man to the shovel bad, the two of us threw off the shovels, squatting in the middle of the accumulated water, wiping down with their hands.
A ball of mud was fished out by our hands, and we continued to dig and plow.
Finally the old woman's purple-gold colored spirit core was touched up by me, and I shouted, "I've dug it, I've dug it!" I stood up and threw the spirit nucleus to Chang Yunliang who was standing on top.
Chang Yunliang reached out and caught it, and without saying a word, he turned his head and ran towards the village. Xue Zhigang and I climbed up from underneath the pit and couldn't even heckle our hands on the rainwater before running towards the village, even forgetting the shovels behind us.
The others hurriedly picked up our discarded shovels and ran after us.
Hu Laoshi, still running at the end.
It was pouring rain! Just so non-stop down, the sky is as gloomy as it is already night, lightning a path through the night sky, thunder rumbles, non-stop resounding in the sky as ink ……
Still remember that day, the lightning strike led to the Yangshupo area was destroyed more than a dozen large trees, our village south of the embankment, that built up only more than half a year of the Dragon King Temple, but also by the powerful lightning blasted into the dregs.
I don't know, whether this is the Jiao of the Black Dragon Cave in Xishan Mountain or not, warning us on purpose. Is not to tell us, it is going to be the enemy of the whole village, it is no longer protect this village, also do not need this village villagers to give the offerings and faith ……
We ran back to the village, ran to Dr. Du's house, each body has not a clean place, even the face is also splashed with mud, on the way back, we have slipped and fell on the muddy dirt road.
When we panted and stood in the house of Dr. Du's house, holding the old Tai Sui s spirit core standing next to Chen Jin, we suddenly thought, this Tai Sui s spirit core, how to feed to Chen Jin …… which is whether there is any doorway? Hu Laoshi is not there ah, he is still in the back.
It is too late to rest, our brothers and sisters rushed out again, and did not say hello to Dr. Du, so we pulled Dr. Du s family crate and rushed out.
Due to the heavy rain, the water level of the Mangniu River has risen rapidly, the water level has already overflowed the already low bridge, we dribbled through the water and rushed over, and the water on the bridge, has reached a depth of more than half a foot.
In the north, the water in the rice paddies is also full, overflowing, the muddy road surface is gone, all eyes are a watery, bean-sized raindrops crackling into the water, splashing countless countless splashes, in the dim light, the water surface is shaking around shaking people's eyes, shaking people's heart panic.
Hu Laoshi hard dripping water walking in the field path, he is exhausted, really exhausted.
A few of us rushed over, shouting greetings, hands and feet to help Hu Lao Si to the plate car, and then even pushed and pulled to the village run.
Hu Laoshi did not refuse, he is really tired, can not walk, do not want to move, he needs to rest a little bit, to save some strength to go back to save Chen Jin, do not need us to talk, he knew why we ran back and pull the cart to run back to pull him, we need him, we do not know how to do a lot of things do not know how to do.
The wheels of the crate into the mud, we a few will lift the crate up to lift the past, the crate wheels covered with mud can not turn, we will use our hands to buckle clean …… a line of people stumbled, through all the hardships and dangers, Hu Laoshi pulled to the door of Dr. Du, and then we saw Hu Laoshi in the crate to stand up are a bit difficult, then surrounded up to will be Then we saw that Hu was struggling to stand up on the crate, so we went up to him and carried him down to the house.
Before Hu Laoshi landed, he greeted, "Dr. Du, go get a bowl of boiling water."
"Hey!" Dr. Du promised, and immediately went to carry a pot of boiling water and brought a large bowl, placing it on the small table in front of the bed.
Chen Jin's face at this time had completely turned grayish-white, without a trace of blood, his lips had turned that kind of greenish-purple, and the faint undulation of his chest had long since become as calm as ice.
To put it bluntly, this person, already dead.
Hu Laoshi trembling in the bed stood, raised his right hand bit through the middle finger, will be their own blood is not much to offer a few drops of blood droplets fell into the boiling water, swiftly melted, as bloomed a few beautiful bright flowers.
Hu Laoshi began to cast spells, he touched out of his pocket a few has been soaked rolled into a ball as a ball of feces like talisman paper, lips a close chanting some of the sudden laborious roar, both hands tightly covered the ball of talisman paper, ten fingers together and constantly changing into a variety of gestures, followed by both hands placed in a large bowl above, once again bellowed out, between the two hands suddenly burst out of a group of sparks, followed by the fire exuberant! The fire was more than half a foot high, burning, Hu Laoshi held back for a while before putting the burning talisman paper into the big bowl.
Burning talisman paper in the bowl for a while, before burning out extinguished, holding boiling water mixed with blood in the bowl, all the black ashes.
Hu Lao Si picked up the Tai Sui spirit core placed on the table, and with the bloodied middle finger of his right hand, he drew strange symbols on it, very quickly, and his mouth was constantly breaking into some unintelligible words. He slowly put the spirit core into the bowl, the water overflowed .
Suddenly, the spirit of the core out of the poof sound, water splashed open, the spirit of the core was slowly cracked, split in pieces, each piece of the spirit of the core and continue to split, finally into a tiny as millet like particles after the crackling poof sound of the split only to stop.
In the large bowl, talisman paper blood boiling water and spirit nucleus, became a thick gruel.
