Cultivation of Immortality

When Zhui'er returned to the river, Qing'er had already sent her eldest grandson away.

When Zhui'er sat down, he gently touched the silver hairpin that his mother had inserted in her bun. The divine thought stored in it had disappeared. This method was undoubtedly extremely clever.

"Did you find out anything?" Qing'er asked with concern.

"There is an excellent layer of protection. With it protecting the family, I can feel more at ease. But I live well in the town. Why do you think of moving back?" Zhui'er didn't want to mention too much about those puzzlements. My mother didn’t want to worry about the mystery, so she changed the subject.

Qing'er looked at the vast misty river surface, then glanced at Zhui'er, and whispered, "Let's talk about this later when we get home."

Zhui'er was startled for a moment before he understood what his mother meant. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are worried about the spirits in the river, right?"

When Qing'er heard him directly call someone a monster, she was so frightened that she winked at him repeatedly and pinched his arm.

Zhui'er smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. This river is extremely big in the eyes of mortals. But there are countless rivers much bigger than the Tai River in places where mortals can't reach. Compared with those rivers, this is nothing." It's a small river. Big monsters can't come out of this kind of river. I can kill them without even moving my fingers. I checked the monster records and found that the little girl holding the winter melon is not a dragon girl, just a kind of dragon girl. The Fairy Fish with the magical power of transformation, the one I fought with has a thousand years of Taoism at most, so there is no big harm."

"What you're saying...is that a thousand years of Taoism are not enough?" Qing'er found it hard to believe her son. Although his son was quite capable, his tone was a bit too loud.

Zhui'er explained, "Except for a very few beasts at the level of fairy beasts, it takes a long time for others to become spirits. Their speed is incomparable to that of humans. It is inconvenient for me to use spells in front of you, otherwise I can take you down to the river and let you watch me kill it with your own eyes."

Qing'er started to shake her head and wink again, which meant she wanted him to stop talking.

While speaking, Zhui'er had already used his spiritual consciousness to find the fairy fish dormant in a mud cave at the bottom of the river a hundred feet deep. It was the same as recorded in the ghost book. It was about the size of a child and had colorful features. The scales, bulging under the abdomen are dark blue, the pectoral fins are like human arms, and the long tail fin is divided into two forks. It looks only slightly humanoid, and is far from the appearance of the little girl I saw. It felt that it was being stared at by its spiritual consciousness, and it was so frightened that it lay down in the mud cave and its whole body was shaking slightly, not daring to take any action.

After sending a spiritual thought to the fairy fish, Zhui'er said to his mother, "Mom, do you think there is something in the river's heart?"

Qing'er was already scared. After hearing what he said, she was so frightened that she gripped Zhui'er's arm and looked towards the middle of the river. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and there was no water mist on the wide river. She saw the man holding him at a glance. It was not easy for the little girl in Donggua to identify what it was from such a long distance. Because the two of them were talking about this, she naturally started to think in that direction, so she looked more and more More and more alike.

For Qing'er, the child holding the winter melon was a legend. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, it was almost like seeing a ghost with her own eyes. She was so frightened that she could only hold on to Zhui'er's arm. This was mainly because she was afraid of the monster. Her son was dragged into the water,

Zhui'er said extremely calmly, "Mom, don't be afraid."

Qing'er saw the little girl floating in the waves for a few moments before disappearing. She looked towards her eldest grandson in horror. It was obvious that she was about to scream next.

Zhui'er hurriedly covered her mother's mouth and said in that extremely calm tone, "Mom, don't be afraid. She doesn't dare to be presumptuous when the child is here. I

Let it go east and it will not dare to go west. "

Qing'er's first reaction just now was that the spirit heard what they said and came up, but her son's words made her understand. It was her son who restrained the spirit like a god restraining a ghost. This was It was not convenient to speak directly, which made her panic. She was both happy and scared at the same time. She was happy that her son had such great abilities, but she was scared that after her son left, what would happen if people wanted to take revenge on them? Do it.

"You...are you really capable of getting rid of it?"

Zhui'er smiled and said, "Last time I came back, I said I wanted to clean up the spirits in the river. Didn't you stop me and tell me to stay out of trouble?"

Qing'er said with a bitter face, "I'm not afraid that you can't beat them. Now that it's like this, then you..."

Zhui'er didn't take it seriously and said, "I will definitely not allow these monsters to continue to harm the villagers. I will deal with them later."

Qing'er said a little anxiously, "Do we have to look back? What if we run away in a while?"

"It doesn't dare." Zhui'er said with confidence, because he was staring at the fairy fish with his spiritual consciousness.

Qing'er was anxious and didn't know whether to urge her son to take action. She said worriedly, "Although I knew this thing must be real when you told me about it when you were a child, the feeling when I saw it with my own eyes was different. I asked you to do it in the first place." My grandparents moved to the town to avoid it. The river has been very peaceful over the years. I just thought they had stopped. Your dad and I thought about moving back. I am nostalgic for my hometown. Secondly, there is your shadow everywhere in the old house. Mom said this not to pull your heart. Just looking at those scenery and thinking about you when you were a child makes me happy. Now that you are older, even if you spend the whole day There’s no point in staying with me, you have to understand this.”

At this point, she sighed and continued, "After all, you have to get rid of these monsters. If we move back here, this problem will be over. Are you really sure? If not, we can move to a far away place." Go live, you won’t suffer anywhere if you have money.”

Zhui'er smiled and said, "It's not a matter of certainty. It's as easy as trampling on a few ants. Didn't you agree with me at the beginning that when I learn my skills, I can protect you from evil spirits? Now My child can fulfill this wish. Eradicate all the evil spirits and evil spirits in this area so that people in this area will no longer be harmed by them. This is your merit. If you hadn't taken me on this road without fear of hardships. , the child would not be what he is today.”

Qing'er shook her head and said, "I don't want any merit. No matter how much I suffered in the past, I just wanted to do it for my son. Don't take too many risks. If anything happens, my mother won't be able to bear it. I told you to learn my skills and come back to protect my mother." , that’s just coaxing you, why should I take it seriously? My mother has lived to this age, and her life will be considered worthy of death. Don’t be ignorant. If you are really hurt by this matter, you are cheating on your mother. It’s a trap.”

Zhui'er said anxiously, "You are worthy of your life, but you still have Xian'er and your eldest grandson. Aren't you afraid that they will be harmed by evil spirits one day?"

Qing'er slapped him on the arm and said angrily, "Don't bully me with these words. They don't necessarily encounter evil spirits. If they do catch up with them, there is nothing to say. If you want to listen to me, just leave this river." Just get rid of what’s inside, don’t worry about the surroundings.”

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Zhui'er promised obediently.

"Alas... you are no longer the Xiao Zhuo'er who obeyed your mother's orders." Qing'er's words were half reproach and half emotion. What she loved most was the heartbreakingly sensible Xiao Zhuo'er. For her, the best time in her life has passed. It would be great if she could go back to that time. When Zhui'er returned to the river, Qing'er had already sent her eldest grandson away.

When Zhui'er sat down, he gently touched the silver hairpin that his mother had inserted in her bun. The divine thought stored in it had disappeared. This method was undoubtedly extremely clever.
