Long Junhai's parents are ordinary people, and he grew up like an ordinary child, but his soul is a true king who has practiced for countless years. He came to this world to experience the way of life in this world, to make himself more fulfilled, and to add more fun and flavor to his life.
When Long Junhai came to this world, he did not bring Aqiang with him, because the latter was reluctant to leave those sculptures. Although the Earth world is weak, there are many sculpture masters. This made Aqiang feel like he had met a confidant, so he did not leave the Earth world. However, Long Junhai gave him a treasure that can travel through time and space. As long as the other party wants to find him, he can come at any time.
The only one Long Junhai brought with him was Awu, but now Awu still looked like a silly turtle, except that his tail was much longer than that of an ordinary turtle.
When Long Junhai was born in Shizhai Village, Awu was guarding nearby. Although Awu was stupid, he knew who his master was and he also knew who he should be nicer to.
Twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye. According to the custom of the village, children who are twelve years old or older must stay in the Tower of the Dead for one night on July 15th. If the child disappears the next day, it means that the child has been chosen by a master and is destined to become an extraordinary person. If the child returns safely the next day, it only means that he will become an ordinary person.
Although Long Junhai has feelings for his parents, he still wants to see a bigger world, so this time, whether he will be selected or not, he will leave Shizhai Village. This is also his best chance.
July 15th is also known as the Ghost Festival. Many parents reluctantly send their children to the Tower of the Dead, which is thirty miles away, and then wait anxiously outside.
Parents also have complicated feelings. On the one hand, they want their children to succeed, but on the other hand, they don’t want their children to leave them and go far away.
There are more than 300 children gathered within a radius of 100 miles. It is not easy to gather so many people in such a sparsely populated place. In the past few years, there were usually about 100 people.
Long Junhai stood inconspicuously in the crowd. After midnight, several men in black, wearing black cloaks and with faces that could not be seen, appeared in front of a group of children.
Children are the most nervous at this time. They don’t know what their fate will be. Even though they are young, they know that this is a good opportunity for a turning point in their lives and they are unwilling to miss it.
The leading man in black glanced at the group of children, then pointed a few times. More than a dozen children disappeared instantly, and reappeared next to the man in black the next moment, with a black cloak on their bodies.
The children who were selected were very proud and felt that they would soar to new heights from now on, while most of the children who were not selected looked depressed and very sad.
"High Priest, are you only going to pick these few?"
"These are the ones I'll leave it to. I really can't pick any better. There are so few people with spirits these days. Without a powerful spirit, how can anyone possibly defeat the demons?"
"Yes, there are more and more evil spirits now, and our people are suffering more and more casualties. If the evil spirits are not eliminated, there will never be a peaceful world."
"This world will never be at peace. As long as life continues, the battle will never end. All we have to do is move forward courageously. Let's go and complete the baptism of these children."
Several men in black talked, and then disappeared with the chosen children.
At this time, many children who were not selected burst into tears, probably because they felt wronged and upset.
Long Junhai didn't feel anything, but he was very curious about what a spirit was. Could it be that his qualifications were not enough to be selected?
After all, Long Junhai had just arrived in this world, so he didn't know much about the rules of this world. He originally thought that it was the end, but he didn't expect that after more than an hour, three more monks appeared. Among these three monks, one was tall and thin, one was short and fat, and the other was burly.
The short, fat monk looked at everyone and said angrily, "Damn it, we're late again! If you two hadn't insisted on waiting for that pot of broth, we wouldn't have been so late!"
"Hehe, it smells so good!" The tall and thin monk didn't hear what the short and fat monk said at all. He was still picking his teeth with a toothpick, savoring the dog meat soup he drank tonight.
At this time, the burly monk said, "We don't choose any spirit body, as long as it can endure hardship and hard work."
"Yes, yes, yes! We must abide by the Buddhist precepts! Otherwise, wouldn't we become a frivolous monk?" said the tall and thin monk.
"Hey, you two have always been more trouble than help. Forget it, I won't say anymore. I'll just take my time to choose."
The short and fat monk's eyes emitted a golden light that enveloped everyone after he finished speaking. However, after looking back and forth for a long time, he was still very dissatisfied. Finally, he said, "No, what kind of stuff are these? They are so poorly qualified. Let alone exorcising demons, even chopping wood and fetching water is very difficult!"
"Shouldn't it be? Children from this poor and remote area should be able to endure hardships, right?" said the tall and thin monk.
"Can these kids cut down the bamboos in our Tianlei Temple? It's ok that there's no spirit body, but there's no spirit bones either. If we bring them back, we'll definitely get scolded by our master!" said the short and fat monk helplessly.
"The guys from the Church of Light are so despicable! There isn't only one Church of Light in this area within a hundred miles, but they picked all the good ones! They didn't leave any behind!" The strong monk stomped his feet in anger.
"Well, why don't we just forget about it this year? We don't lack people anyway. Many people from the Church of Light were chosen, and many died too. Let's not be angry." The tall and thin monk thought for a while and said.
"Are we going back like this?" The short and fat monk was a little worried.
"How about bringing some dog meat back for Master?" the tall and thin monk said with a smile.
"That's a good idea. I'll go buy a jar of good wine. That way, Master won't punish me too severely!" The short and fat monk said as he prepared to turn around and leave.
Long Junhai felt this was an opportunity, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Masters, please stay! Can I become a disciple of your Tianlei Temple?"
The three monks were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Long Junhai curiously. The short and fat monk shook his head and said, "No, no, your physique is simply not good enough. You will be a burden even if you go to Tianlei Temple!"
"Master, don't underestimate me, I can cook!" Long Junhai said suddenly.
"Hmm? What can you do?" The short and fat monk immediately became excited.
