Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world
Chapter 683 The Disappearing Paper Fish
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around Mr. Zhou's bed and stared at him intently.
Zhou Yi was even more excited. He called out to his grandfather loudly, hoping that he could wake up and see him.
However, Lin Beichen did not go to see Mr. Zhou's condition. He knew very well that if he wanted to completely eliminate the evil spirits in Mr. Zhou's body, this step must be taken. He slowly picked up the basin in front of him and walked to the bed.
"Everyone, please make way." Lin Beichen's voice was calm and firm.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately made way for him. Lin Beichen poured the water in the basin on Mr. Zhou without hesitation.
This scene frightened everyone present so much that they didn't even dare to breathe. They had never seen such a bold person!
You know, the person lying on the bed is the most influential old man in the Zhou family. How dare this man do such a thing? Isn't he afraid of revenge from the Zhou family?
However, their thoughts did not last long. Soon, they found that smoke was slowly rising from Mr. Zhou's body, accompanied by a foul smell.
The extremely foul smell made everyone present retch. Only Lin Beichen remained calm, staring intently at Mr. Zhou on the bed.
This situation means that what he just did has taken effect.
At least, the evil spirit in Mr. Zhou should have been driven out of his body.
Zhou Yi couldn't stand the smell and immediately asked the servant to open the window for fresh air.
Soon, Mr. Zhou on the bed started coughing violently again. Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi hurried back to Mr. Zhou's bedside and looked at him excitedly.
"Grandpa, how do you feel?" Zhou Yi asked with concern.
After coughing for a while, Mr. Zhou slowly opened his eyes. He recognized his grandson at a glance and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"It's you. I seem to have been unconscious for a long time. What happened?" Mr. Zhou asked weakly.
Zhou Yi did not hesitate and immediately told Mr. Zhou in detail how he found Lin Beichen and how Lin Beichen performed the ritual.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhou immediately looked at Lin Beichen.
When he found that Lin Beichen looked exactly like the master he met when he was young, he couldn't help but be greatly surprised.
"Master! I never thought I would meet you again in my lifetime!" As he said this, Mr. Zhou struggled to get up. However, Lin Beichen hurriedly stopped him.
"Mr. Zhou, please don't get excited. Although the evil spirits in your body have been dispelled, your body still appears very weak due to being eroded by the evil spirits. At this time, you should take care of your health." Lin Beichen said with concern.
At the same time, he did not forget to explain that matter.
"The master you are talking about should be my ancestor, not me."
He is a man with principles and bottom line. Since the master that the Zhou family had met was not him, he would never impersonate him and use such despicable means to promote the purest Taoism in his mind.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhou nodded to show his understanding. Even so, he was still very excited. The master was a great benefactor to the entire Zhou family. Even though the young man in front of him was not the master he met that year, he was still very excited.
He grasped Lin Beichen's hand and thanked him repeatedly: "I just heard from my grandson that if it weren't for you, I might... you and your ancestors have been so kind to our Zhou family, and we will definitely do our best to repay you!"
Seeing how much Mr. Zhou valued Lin Beichen, no one in the Zhou family dared to disrespect Lin Beichen anymore. They all respected and revered Lin Beichen.
Since Mr. Zhou was still weak, Lin Beichen did not stay in his bedroom for too long. He told Mr. Zhou to have a good rest and take good care of his body.
When leaving Mr. Zhou's room, Zhou Yi was left behind.
When Zhou Yi walked out of the house, he held two items in his hand and handed them to Lin Beichen.
One is an envelope for a letter, and the other is a small knife with a simple and unique shape.
It was obvious at first glance that the knife was quite old. Although it was not a priceless treasure, Lin Beichen had no intention of accepting it.
"It is fate that enables me to come here and treat Mr. Zhou. I have never thought about getting any reward for it." Lin Beichen clearly expressed his attitude.
If he was seeking some reward, he would have made it clear before coming.
After listening to Lin Beichen's words, Zhou Yi expressed his admiration for his character.
"I didn't expect that the Taoist priest is such a kind person, but the Taoist priest may have misunderstood my meaning. You saved my grandfather's life, and our Zhou family has no way to repay you, but these two things have nothing to do with repaying you."
Irrelevant?
Lin Beichen glanced at Zhou Yi, somewhat puzzled.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi quickly explained to Lin Beichen: "Master, this is what my grandfather asked me to give to you. If you don't accept it, I really can't report to my grandfather."
After hearing this, Lin Beichen looked at the two items in Zhou Yi's hand again, "I wonder if Mr. Zhou knows the origin of these two items?"
The reason he asked this was because he found that the simple-looking knife was very old, and even the envelope was yellowed and old, as if it had never been opened.
"This, I really don't know." Zhou Yi scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Grandpa only asked him to hand these things over to Lin Beichen, but did not tell him what they were used for.
Seeing that Lin Beichen was staring at the two items in his hands, Zhou Yi guessed that he must attach great importance to them, so he suggested taking Lin Beichen to ask his grandfather.
"So good."
Following Zhou Yi to Mr. Zhou's room, Lin Beichen found that Mr. Zhou's condition had obviously improved, so he asked about the origins of the two items.
"Excuse me, sir, why do you insist on giving these two things to me?" Lin Beichen looked at Mr. Zhou.
Seeing these two things, Mr. Zhou suddenly became excited and he held the two antiques tightly.
"These two things..." Mr. Zhou carefully stroked the items in his hands, his eyes full of excitement.
"These two things were given to me by that master."
After saying this, Mr. Zhou fell into deep thought.
He began to tell about his experience when he met the master.
It turned out that the master had calculated that Mr. Zhou would meet with disaster in the future, so he gave these two items to him and told him to keep them well and give them to the Taoist priest in the future.
After hearing this, Lin Beichen was shocked.
He never expected that these two things had such an origin.
In other words, although he had never seen this ancestor, the ancestor had already anticipated his appearance and had made preparations.
"Master, please accept these two things. It means that our Zhou family has lived up to the trust of that master." Old Mr. Zhou looked at Lin Beichen with excitement.
Lin Beichen nodded, took the two things, said thank you, and left Mr. Zhou's bedroom.
"Mr. Zhou, can I borrow the study room?" Lin Beichen couldn't wait to see what his ancestors left behind for him. Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi took Lin Beichen to the study room next to Mr. Zhou's bedroom without saying a word.
"Master, don't worry. I will give orders so that no one can disturb you. Just study these two things with peace of mind."
After saying that, Zhou Yi left the study and carefully closed the door for Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen sat at the desk and opened the envelope in his hand.
There was a piece of letter paper in the envelope, but when he saw the letter paper, he couldn't help but show a look of confusion.
There was not a single word on the letter!
Since there was no words on the letter, why did the ancestor insist that the Zhou family give him the letter?
Lin Beichen vaguely felt that this matter was by no means simple.
He began to feel the letter carefully, thinking that perhaps his ancestors had used some secret method to prevent others from reading the contents of the letter.
However, just as he was groping for the letter, something even stranger happened.
The originally soft and thin letter paper actually cut a wound on his finger!
As Lin Beichen stared at the wound in a daze, blood from the wound dripped onto the letter paper. When the blood beads spread on the letter paper, Lin Beichen felt dizzy.
Then, his eyes went dark and he passed out.
Lin Beichen didn't know why this happened. Even though he had fainted, he was still very panicked.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt a cool breeze on his face, which made him feel refreshed.
Looking around, Lin Beichen was surprised to find that he was not in the Zhou family's study, but in a beautiful wilderness.
The scenery here is extremely beautiful, and just looking at it makes people feel happy.
But he also understood that this was definitely not the real world, but an illusion!
Lin Beichen was amazed that a letter could open the door to a fantasy world.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lin Beichen didn't understand what was going on, and he became alert and quickly took a few steps back.
Just as he was retreating, Lin Beichen watched the phantom turn into a solid entity.
The phantom turned into an old man with white hair. He looked at him with a smile, as if he knew him.
"May I ask where this place is?" Lin Beichen thought, since the old man could appear in the illusion, he might know the origin of this illusion.
Moreover, he came to this illusion after reading the letter. Maybe the things in the illusion are related to his ancestors!
However, the old man did not answer Lin Beichen's question, but continued to look at him with a smile, his expression natural.
"If I am not mistaken, you should know that this is an illusion, and I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Have you been waiting for him for a long time?
These words reminded Lin Beichen of what the Zhou family had told him about their ancestors.
The ancestor asked the Zhou family to go to Xuanzhen Temple to find Mr. Zhou when he encountered a destined disaster. The old man also said that he had been waiting for him there for a long time. Could it be that all this was arranged by the ancestor?
At this moment, Lin Beichen's mind was full of things about his ancestors, and he didn't notice that the old man's eyes were gentle when he looked at him, as if he was not looking at a stranger.
"Then why am I here?" Lin Beichen looked up at the old man.
He felt that although this old man was just a phantom, he must know a lot of things, and he would definitely be able to get something out of the old man.
However, the old man still did not directly answer Lin Beichen's question. He just looked at him with a smile, revealing an immortal aura.
Faced with the old man's silence, Lin Beichen felt inexplicably anxious.
Since he was brought into this illusion, it means that this illusion has some connection with him. Why is the old man unwilling to explain things clearly?
As if seeing through Lin Beichen's impatience, the old man chuckled, slowly raised his right hand, and waved it gently.
As he moved, a ring floated in the air and slowly moved in front of Lin Beichen.
Looking at the appearance of the ring, Lin Beichen still didn't understand why he suddenly entered this illusion.
Is it just to give him this ring?
Faced with Lin Beichen's doubts, the old man's attitude did not change.
"The revival of Taoism falls on your shoulders alone. I hope you can move forward courageously and persevere."
This time, the old man looked at Lin Beichen with eyes full of anticipation.
Although Lin Beichen was somewhat unhappy that he did not receive any explanation as to why he appeared in the illusion, the old man's words made him feel an unprecedented sense of mission.
Before, he had also spoken about reviving Taoism.
But at that time, everything was just his own idea. No one forced him, and no one entrusted it to him.
But at this moment, he felt completely different.
"Although I don't know who you are and why you say this to me, I will never give up on the revival of Taoism!"
Hearing Lin Beichen's answer, the old man nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, the old man's body turned into a shadow again and gradually disappeared.
The old man suddenly disappeared, and Lin Beichen couldn't be sure whether he had left this illusion or disappeared completely. But no matter what, he was helpless and couldn't escape from this place.
After a brief conversation with the old man, the anxiety that Lin Beichen felt when he first entered the illusion miraculously disappeared. The scenery here is beautiful, and it is not a bad thing to stay here for a long time.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes fell on the ring that the old man had handed him before, and began to carefully explore the mystery of the ring.
At first glance, this ring looks no different from an ordinary ring, but upon closer inspection, one can see that it is engraved with intricate and delicate patterns.
Due to the age, he was unable to identify the meaning of these patterns, but it was not difficult to see that these patterns were by no means ordinary.
When Lin Beichen's fingers lightly touched the patterns, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if he was drawn into a mysterious space by an invisible force.
This experience made Lin Beichen feel a little ridiculous. He was clearly still in the illusion, but he inexplicably entered another space.
This situation would be difficult for anyone to accept.
However, Lin Beichen quickly adjusted his mentality. Since it has come, he comforted himself. (End of this chapter)
