Chapter 50 Remedies
Bian Yuanzhi was born in an ordinary farmyard in Taiping Town and is fourteen years old this year.
As the youngest son who is loved by his family, Bian Yuanzhi simply cannot bear to work on the farm like his brothers. He grew up listening to the stories of the Ling family's daughters and was very envious of the Ling sister, who was the only one in Taiping Town who was lucky enough to enter Guangcheng Sect in the past hundred years. According to legend, she was spotted by an immortal when she was a teenager and taken to Guangcheng Mountain.
Therefore, he also had a dream of becoming an immortal.
However, after so many years, there has only been one girl named Ling in the entire Taiping Town, so he has never spoken out his dream.
Until recently, there were suddenly many new faces in the town.
Among them, there was a very handsome immortal who actually asked him if he was willing to become his disciple and go with him to Taiyin Sect to practice Taoism.
Bian Yuanzhi was so happy that he went crazy. Even his parents and brothers were excited all night when they learned about it. His mother even gave him the new clothes she had made for his brother and asked him to serve the immortal well.
However, on the second day as agreed, the immortal did not show up.
There was no sign of a third day.
Day 4, Day 5…
Seven whole days passed, and the memory of that day seemed like a dream.
The mocking looks from the neighbors around him made him feel suffocated.
"That kid from the Bian family also wants to cultivate immortality?"
"Maybe he was just lying to trick people!"
"How could the immortal be interested in him?"
…
Immortal... why did you break your promise? Or was it really just an absurd dream? Bian Yuanzhi held a handful of pebbles and skipped them unconsciously on the river bank, feeling empty inside.
"Brother Gou, it's not that I don't want to make amends, it's just that I really forgot what that kid looked like! I didn't even ask his name! It's been so many days, and I can't find the NPC dialogue records anymore! I only roughly remember that he was in this area, but I have no idea if I can find him!"
In the distance, it seemed like someone was talking, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Bian Yuanzhi subconsciously hid in the grass behind the tree, not wanting to be seen by others.
Wang Ergou said anxiously, "Even if you forgot, you have to look for it. You can just look for it one NPC at a time. You have to pay for the sins you committed, right? Besides, you are the lowest combat power in the server right now! Don't you want to catch up?"
Zhen Junzi, the player being pulled by Wang Ergou, said with tears in his eyes: "There's nothing we can do, Brother Gou! The speed of cultivating the five spiritual roots is slower than others. You are all stuck in cultivation, but I am the only one. Look, I am at the same level as you, but my blue bar is not even half of yours! My cultivation is even worse! I can't keep up with the level at all!"
"That's why I asked you to remedy it! What if this game has some settings that can change your spiritual roots?"
"But I really can't remember what he looks like!"
"Then look for them one by one! Even if you don't remember him, he must remember you, right?"
"That's hard to say!"
Wang Ergou rolled his eyes: "Just tell me if you want to make amends!"
This time, Zhen Junzi answered straightforwardly: "Yes!"
"That's it!"
As he spoke, Wang Ergou pulled Zhen Junzi and walked towards Taiping Town.
Bian Yuanzhi, who had been hiding behind a tree and listening in a daze for a long time, finally couldn't help himself and quietly stretched his head out to take a look. When he saw the figure being pulled, his eyes widened immediately. "Immortal... Immortal!?"
The not-so-loud sound immediately attracted the attention of Wang Ergou and Zhen Junzi - the NPC's close chat call came right in their faces, making it hard not to notice!
"Um!?"
Zhen Junzi turned his head and saw a skinny child with yellow and dry hair that was piled on his head like a bird's nest. His eyes were wide open with shock in them.
This kid...why does he look familiar? When Bian Yuanzhi saw the two "immortals" looking at him at the same time, he was startled and wanted to run but didn't dare to. He seemed to be fixed in place, and his face flushed.
Wang Ergou lowered his voice and whispered in Zhen Junzi's ear: "Could this be the kid you were cooing at?"
Zhen Junzi smiled bitterly and said, "I... I really don't remember... I just said it casually at the time. I was just doing something to make a living, just... to make a living, you know? I didn't think of anything else at all..."
Wang Ergou said sarcastically, "You want to turn yourself into a five-spiritual root? You did a great job, it's brilliant, it's awesome! It's just like a kitten climbing a tree - it meows up to the sky! You lied to me, kid, aren't you ashamed?"
Perhaps it was because the two "immortals" did not look ferocious, nor were they as high and mighty as the Guangcheng Mountain Immortal. For some reason, Bian Yuanzhi asked what he had buried in his heart for several days: "Immortal... why... why didn't you come that day?"
While Wang Ergou was stunned, he expertly turned off the character's voice and switched to the microphone in the team list: "Holy crap! It's really this kid!"
"I, ah, I," Zhen Junzi first scratched his head in embarrassment, then quickly came up with a clever idea and made up a story: "Master... I broke through in seclusion a few days ago, so I was a little late, so I postponed coming to see you until today..."
Wang Ergou ate the melon with gusto, and exclaimed in the game microphone: "Awesome, brother, this can be rounded up!"
Bian Yuanzhi's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Then, then you came here today to take me to practice Taoism!?"
"Well……"
Zhen Junzi didn't know how to answer. Wang Ergou on the side urged him: "Hurry up and agree! Do you still want to be the floor tile of all the players in the server!?"
In a flash, Zhen Junzi replied to the team: "But I don't know how to take care of children!"
Wang Ergou was furious: "What a lot of bullshit! You better take him in first!"
"Ah, it's like this," Zhen Junzi saw the boy's expression becoming more and more lost and desperate, and he quickly coughed and said, "Master, I think that if you follow me to practice, you will probably have to sleep in the open air, which is very hard. Are you still willing to follow me?"
Wang Ergou quickly winked at Bian Yuanzhi and said, "Your master has called himself 'Master'! Don't you understand what that means?!"
"Me! I do!"
Bian Yuan was so moved that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, which scared Zhen Junzi.
At this point in the plot, Zhen Junzi actually felt a bit of "role-playing" and even became addicted to it. He imitated the actors in the TV series and cosplayed some immortal kings and gods. He struck a pose like an immortal and said with a deliberately serious expression: "Don't kowtow yet. Let me ask you, from now on, on the long journey to immortality, you will no longer have parents, children, sisters and brothers. If you regret it now, it's not too late!"
"I……"
Bian Yuanzhi subconsciously glanced at Wang Ergou next to Zhen Junzi, and couldn't help but tilt his head to look at Taiping Town in the distance - he seemed to be able to see the roof of his own house.
Zhen Junzi continued to act like a sage and said, "If you have any distracting thoughts in your mind, you might as well give them up as soon as possible, so as to avoid practicing for several years and ending up with nothing, which would be a waste of effort."
Who would have thought that it would have been better if he hadn't said it. As soon as he said this, the boy in front of him suddenly seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up. He leaned forward and kowtowed heavily: "Disciple, I don't regret it!"
Zhen Junzi nodded with satisfaction, but the chat channel was broken: "No, I said so, why does he still want to hang himself here!?"
