129,【Half life wasted before the road】
“…”
The old turtle by the river is still in shock.
In the middle of the night, I was alone in the cold riverside under the moon. When I was sobbing and crying, a human suddenly appeared and talked to me.
This is too scary.
Unfortunately, the turtle does not have sweat glands, otherwise it will sweat coldly.
Unconsciously!
This human came behind him like this. The whole process was not silent, but he was so excited that he didn't realize it at all. This was the first time in a monster's life in more than a thousand years.
Fortunately, the other party's tone was gentle and obedient tone, and he was vaguely caring or curious about himself crying. It was not the kind that he subconsciously thought, and suddenly appeared and claimed a name, and then killed himself, a monster, and he was irritated.
This made him feel a little relaxed. After all, it seems that if the other party wants to kill him, he will definitely not be able to escape.
My speed on land was too slow, and I was still a few feet away from the water. If the other party took action, I would probably not have the chance to pounce into the river.
After calming down, the old turtle slightly lowered his alert, retracted his open claws, and retracted his round head, which was ready to retract from the shell at any time, stretched out a little, and shouted:
"You are silent, so scary!"
After being frightened like this, Lao Turtle had no intention of crying, but focused on dealing with the person in front of him.
The old turtle looked at the person who came, and saw that the other party was wearing plain clothes, a thin silver hairpin between his hair bun, with a handsome face and a long body, standing under the moonlight, the corners of the clothes and the laces fluttered lightly with the night wind, and was free and unrestrained than mortal figures.
What made him notice the most was that looking from the front, there was a handle behind the person who came, as if it was a long sword, and the old turtle couldn't help but be afraid.
Fang Chang smiled slightly, like the spring breeze and snow: "It's a negligence, sorry."
Hearing these words, Lao Gui felt a little relieved, and a hint of shame appeared on his round face: "But he was so sad that he made me laugh."
Waving his hand, Fang Chang expressed his understanding.
However, Lao Gui thought that the man in white in front of him should have high cultivation and extensive knowledge. Perhaps because of the opportunity, he told him what he cried: "What I am sad about in the little demon is that I cannot transform for a long time."
"oh."
Fang Chang thought to himself that this is another monster stuck at the transformation barrier.
It seems that as a big barrier on the path of monster cultivation, transformation is really well-known. It is too common for situations like the old turtle. This level is like a big sieve. Every monster has to pass it, but the mesh of the sieve is very thin, so only a small number of monsters can have the honor to seize the opportunity, transform into humans, and find the path to practice later.
The words held in for a long time are like blocked sluices. Once there is a beginning, they will be vented and can no longer be blocked. Therefore, the old turtle involuntarily began to talk to the stranger in front of him:
"I gave myself a name, Guiyuan. From Kaihui, I am one thousand years old this year... I have been living in this river, born and raised here. But the memories of the days when I just started to cultivate spiritual wisdom and refine the vertebral bones have been so long that they are vague."
"A thousand years is really too long, so long that I thought I could remember the situation for a lifetime, and it was gradually erased from my mind. Maybe there will be no trace again at any time."
"Now that most of my life has passed, I practice hard every day, but I still can't feel the opportunity to transform. Perhaps there is no hope in this life, so I can't help but feel sad, so I leaned against the river and cried. It's really a bit ashamed to be caught by my brother."
"I've been busy for most of my life, but I haven't survived here. It's really 'I'm afraid that my years will be gone, and half of my life has been wasted', alas..."
After various non-human creatures become demons, their lifespan will have a leap, but the increased lifespan is also affected by their own lifespan.
Turtles are often difficult to transform, and most turtles have not lived long. However, the old turtle in front of them is a relatively rare long-lived species among turtles, but this has caused the difficulty of transforming, which doubled again.
Seeing that the turtle demon was still embarrassed by the crying just now, Fang Chang bowed and said, "It's abrupt."
Lao Guiyuan pondered slightly and continued, "Brother Tai should be a person with great ability. I wonder if he can see how long it will take to have the opportunity to transform?"
"Well." Fang Chang pondered for a while and asked, "Have you ever eaten humans or demons over the years?"
"I never saw a master when I was young. I told him about this. I never dared to try it or was not interested." Lao Gui shook his head, "At that time, I was still a little demon and I was not qualified to cling to him. I just strictly abide by the instructions."
"That's good." Fang Chang said.
Then he thought that since he met him, it was the fate of the turtle demon in front of him, so he turned his eyes and looked up at the top of the turtle.
"The news is not good." Fang Chang shook his head and said. This shocked the turtle on the other side, and immediately cheered up and listened to Fang Chang's next words.
"From the following in the end of the Tao, there is no hope for Brother Turtle to transform into a hundred years."
He reported to the truth.
Gui Yuan's expression on the opposite side instantly dimmed.
Seeing the other person's appearance, Fang Chang bowed his hand and did not continue to speak. Fate cannot be forced. Even if Fang Chang is already a small success practitioner, he cannot break through this. Squeezing the seedlings will only backfire.
The thick disappointment on the old turtle's face could not be concealed at all.
He gave a gentle salute to Fang Chang, then turned his head lonely and jumped back into the river.
Fang Chang watched the moonlight sprinkled on the river surface, and the ripples caused by the turtle entering the water, reflecting the moonlight everywhere at will, and the moon shadow also became broken in the ripples, just like broken porcelain sprinkled all over the ground.
He shook his head and turned back and walked back.
…………
...
The morning sun is shining brightly.
Fang Chang got up very early and practiced it briefly, but at this time, after experiencing the breakthrough after realizing the mind and seeing the nature, he got up early every day to absorb the true fire of the sun, which was no longer of great use.
However, Fang Chang still maintained his morning class habit. He probably had to wait until there was a big advancement and he would not cancel this habit until he did not need to practice it himself.
The father and son of the Chuan family got up quite early. They had already prepared breakfast and were calling Fang Chang to eat:
"Good morning, come and have dinner~"
"Okay, I'll do it now." Fang Chang put down the book in his hand, stuffed it back into the package, and then walked to the dining table.
The breakfast was mainly porridge, and the boatman also cooked an egg for Fang Chang, which was also a preferential treatment for the guests.
Zhou Changduo was very energetic. It seemed that the drunkenness yesterday evening did not cause any negative impact on him, but instead made him sleep more steadily. He slurped with pickled vegetables and dried fish, and slurped with porridge. The other party said:
"After breakfast, I set off and made an appointment to dock in Xingqing Mansion this afternoon."
