To Raise a Soul

Wu Xuan's recovery speed was astonishingly fast. If it wasn't for the injury marks on his head, his appearance would look almost the same as usual, and his complexion and spirit would even be better than before the injury.

"Maybe the hospital food is good?"

Wu Xuan was in a good mood and made a joke. Compared with the gaze that was mostly polite when he saw Yin Yan in the past, this time his eyes were full of smiles and enthusiasm, and he said with a kindness: "The car accident happened. Thank you, and last time at the roast duck restaurant, I was going to invite you to dinner, but it was delayed, by the way, did you change your mobile phone number?"

"Changed."

Yin Yan put down the fruit basket and supplements, first opened the stool to let Yu Zhen sit down, and then sat down next to him, and asked politely, "How is the injury?"

Wu Xuan looked back and forth between the two, and replied: "It's not bad, the stitches on the wound on the head have been removed, leaving a scar, and the bones still need to be nourished. I guess I won't be able to go outside for a while. .”

"The New Year is coming soon, it's not bad to spend time with your family while recuperating at home." Yin Yan comforted him politely, but his attitude was never too warm.

Wu Xuan showed a slightly emotional expression when he heard the words, and his attitude was a little more cordial, and he agreed: "You are right, I am too stupid. I have always loved to stay outside these few years, so I should accept it." Xin, spend time with your family... Yin Yan, you are smarter than me."

Yin Yan was silent.

Wu Xuan couldn't hold back his emotions as soon as he opened the gate. Before he could reply, he continued: "When you love, you are frank and unreserved. When you leave, you are crisp and clear. Han Ya treated you so well, you But she never said no to her outside, the only time she explained it was because she didn't want her current lover and family to be troubled by rumors...I'm not as good as you, much worse."

Yin Yan was still silent, as if he only had ears but no mouth.

"Thank you." Wu Xuan's expression suddenly became serious, and he took the initiative to reach out and said, "I was wrong in the past. I always treated you with a superior and hostile attitude. I hope you can forgive me for my ignorance in the past."

"You're welcome." Yin Yan finally spoke, took his hand, and faced his many emotions, he only replied: "Drive carefully in the future."

Wu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then let go of his hands and burst out laughing, covered his chest with a smile, hissed with pain, and said: "You are so interesting, so interesting, drive, drive well! Anyway, healing is boring, and I will go later Recite the traffic rules!"

Hearing this, Yu Zhen changed his view of Wu Xuan a little bit, and if he knew his mistake, he would correct it, which proved that this person could still be saved.

Yin Yan began to think about leaving, the good relationship was over, there was no need to waste time, Wu Xuan had too much nonsense.

"And Yu Zhen, I want to thank you too." Wu Xuan suddenly shifted his gaze to Yu Zhen, stretched out his hand towards him, and said with a smile: "Yin Yan's vision is much better than mine, you are fine, I—"

"We still have something to do, let's say goodbye."

Yin Yan got up to interrupt Wu Xuan, stopped Yu Zhen's hand that was about to reach out, nodded reservedly to Wu Xuan as farewell, then turned around and left with Yu Zhen.

"Ah? Eh! Don't, you're the only ones here—"

Bang, Yin Yan slammed the door of the ward after going out.

Wu Xuan: "..."

He looked at his hand, blinked in confusion, and then took it back dumbfounded: "What... Is it because I'm afraid that I'll rob him again? I just want to bless you..."

As soon as he finished expressing his emotions, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside. Han Ya rushed in with a face full of panic, and said anxiously: "Xuan, I just saw Yin Yan leave in a huff. How are you? Did he make things difficult for you? Blame me, I—"

Ding ding ding.

Wu Xuan turned around and rang the call bell, looked at the bodyguard rushing in, and ordered: "I'm going to rest, please get the irrelevant people out."

Han Ya was "invited" away by the bodyguard with a face full of disbelief and injury, Wu Xuan fell on the bed, recalled Han Ya's behavior just now, and sneered a little self-deprecatingly: "Wu Xuan, Wu Xuan, you are really blind, What kind of broken idol drama is really endless..."

Yu Zhen was dragged out of the ward by Yin Yan in a daze, and before leaving, he received an extremely negative slap from Han Ya.

"what happened to you?"

After getting in the car, Yu Zhen asked suspiciously, and at the same time, the sense of commotion that something was about to break ground came back, along with a sour and depressed mood.

Yin Yan suddenly took out a ball and ate it, and while holding his hand, he replied calmly, "I'm hungry."

The hand on the knee was held, so the commotion disappeared, and the sour depression subsided in an instant.

Yu Zhen looked at her hand that was being held, and silently shook it back.

It turns out that Yin Yan not only has the effect of warming the baby, but also has a calming effect...it's really useful.

After the silence, he belatedly realized what Yin Yan had said. He took a look at Yin Yan's abdomen at two o'clock in the afternoon, and confirmed, "Are you hungry?"

How long has it been since lunch, and you're actually hungry?

Yin Yan didn't speak, but withdrew his hand to start the car, and drove towards the apartment.

After the two returned to the apartment, they had an afternoon tea together. Afterwards, Yin Yan sat on the sofa and continued to tap on the computer, while Yu Zhen went into the pot to think about meritorious plants.

The pots were still empty. After the batch of flowers planted last time were sold, only the rose tree near the pond was left inside, and the other places returned to their original bare appearance after being cleaned.

As soon as Yu Zhen entered, he noticed a sudden bright green in the corner. He turned his head to look carefully for a few seconds, his eyes lit up, and he ran over quickly.

The orchid species that were once thought to be hopeless, with the help of Xi Soil and Boundless Water, actually survived and broke ground!I also pulled out the stick quietly, and it is now about ten centimeters high!

"One, two, three... there are actually five, you guys are awesome!"

Yu Zhen was overjoyed, touched their small leaves one by one, summoned nothingness to come to the boundless water, generously gave them two drops, thought for a while, and gave some merit to them, said happily: "Since you are alive Once it comes down, it must grow well! Grow strong and strong!"

Orchid naturally wouldn't respond to his words, but nothingness could.

It stretched out its paws and pulled Yu Zhen's trouser legs, then turned around and took two steps towards the pond, then looked back at Yu Zhen, meowing.

"What are you going to show me again?"

Yu Zhen stood up cooperatively and followed behind it with a smile.

Because he is not the real master of nothingness, he cannot understand the meaning of nothingness and communicate directly with nothingness like Yin Yan.But after getting along with him for this period of time, he has already been able to understand the meaning of every little movement and every cry of nothingness very proficiently.

Nothingness flicked its tail, meowed again, and ran towards the pond.

The lotus flowers in the pond are still blooming brilliantly, and the lotus leaves are kept at a certain amount with restraint. After covering the pond, they no longer grow randomly.

Yu Zhen glanced briefly to make sure that the lotus flowers were still in good condition, then looked down at nothingness, and saw nothingness was stretching out his claws and pulling a clay pot with a seedling planted by the pond, as if he wanted to tell him something.

"What happened to it?"

Yu Zhen knelt down, touched the seedlings in the clay pot, and asked in doubt.

This young seedling was stimulated by the seeds given by Yin Yan, and it grew a little slowly. The help from the boundless water and the breathable soil seemed to be very limited. The roses bloomed one after another, but it was still just a young seedling, and It has been in the seedling state for a long time.

"Meow." Wu Wu flicked his tail, squatted in front of the pot, closed his eyes and put his paws on it.

Yu Zhen understood in seconds: "You want me to feed it merit?"

Wu Wu opened his eyes and nodded while screaming.

Yu Zhen was puzzled. The last time Wu Wu asked him to feed merit to the lotus, it was because the Bodhi Lotus was rarely and generously preparing to bear lotus seeds, so he couldn't miss it.But now this... This is just a seedling, it will definitely not bear fruit or bloom.

"Meow meow." Nothingness urged.

"Okay, okay, hey, don't worry." Yu Zhen pressed its little head funny, and reached out to touch the leaves of the seedlings.

The golden light fell, and the young seedling, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly trembled, stretched its body, and then slowly grew a new leaf, and it did not move again.

"Meow." Wu Wu raised his paw to signal Yu Zhen to stop.

"That's it?" Yu Zhen withdrew his hand cooperatively.

Nothingness continued to call.

Yu Zhen stared at it with big eyes, silent for a few seconds, and guessed: "You mean, it can only continue to grow up if it is fed with merit? Or it will always be so small?"

"Meow." Wu Wu flicked his tail and nodded.

Yu Zhen: "..."

He turned his head to look at the stingy seedling with only one leaf growing in the pot, carefully observed its branches and leaf shape, and made a bad guess in his heart.

Looking at the shape of this plant, it is estimated that it is not a flower, but a tree.He fed a lot of merit just now, even more than the lotus seeds he gave out last time. If this is really a tree, and it grows only by merit, then he will probably grow old with it.

"You..." He touched the young seedling's new leaves, and sighed helplessly and dotingly: "Forget it, you grow well, and I will come to feed you every day."

After taking care of the plants in the pot, he thought for a while, and then simply moved to the rose field, and began to collect petals to make essential oils and perfumes.

He has been thinking about giving Qiu Feiqian a gift, since lotus petals can't be used, then use roses.These roses grow in the pots and are infused with lotus fragrance. The fragrance gradually changes a little and becomes very light and elegant. After smelling for a long time, it will make people feel soothed. It is suitable for making essential oils and perfumes.

He bought a set of equipment for making essential oils online in advance. Because he wanted to make essential oils with higher purity for Qiu Feiqian, he deliberately chose the better equipment from the self-made set, and now put it in nothingness.

When he got busy, he forgot the time, and Yin Yan didn't bother him. He called back and said that he would live in the apartment tonight. Go back and type on the computer.

With the dilution of infinite water as the base, the production of essential oils became much easier, but even so, I was busy until midnight, picking one crop after another of roses, and finally got only a small bottle of the finished product.

"Let's do this first." Yu Zhen touched the nothingness that had been with him all this time, and said, "It's been hard work, go and rest."

Nothingness flicked its tail and jumped onto him.

Falling asleep with the fragrance of flowers all over her body, probably because of the influence of the fragrance of flowers, Yu Zhen had a dream about flowers that night.

In the dream, he came to the village under the mountain where he once begged for seeds, and became the seed he buried at the old woman's door, and fell into the old woman's dream every night.

The dream of the old woman is full of warmth. In the dream, she is still young, just married and started a family. Her husband is very hardworking and loves her very much. The two of them are living a good life.

Later they had their first child, a big fat boy who cried earth-shatteringly when he was born, and when he grew up, he turned out to be very energetic.Two years later, the second child was born, a daughter, also fat, with two dimples on her smiling face.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth... The family became more and more lively, and the days became more and more prosperous.

The children grew up day by day, the eldest became a carpenter and married the childhood sweetheart next door; the second married to the neighboring village, the husband looked fierce but treated her very well; The fourth child went to a school in the city; the fourth child became a soldier, and was discharged safely and opened a small shop in his hometown; the fifth child was the most beautiful, became a teacher, married and went to the city, and lived a happy life of his own.

The old woman slowly became what she is now, and her wife left before her. She was lying on the bed, looking at the sad and crying children around her, with tears in her eyes, but a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she closed her eyes forever.

The warm dream dissipated, and the old woman stood in front of him who was still in the shape of a seed, knelt down and touched the land where he was hiding, and said with a smile: "Good boy, thank you."

As she spoke, her figure gradually became younger, her face was full of happiness: "I'm going to find my children and my wife, thank you for allowing me to have such a beautiful dream at the end of my life."

"God bless you."

The translucent figure dissipated, and several strands of golden light emerged, slowly gathered, and enveloped him directly.

Clap.

The seeds are broken.

Yu Zhen opened his eyes in a flash. In the dark room, an ancient book was quietly suspended in front of him. When the pages were opened, the calligraphy on the first page slowly faded, and finally only the words "daughter Rui" remained.

As if bewitched, he unconsciously reached out and touched the pages of the book, and the moment his fingertips touched the handwriting, a golden light burst out, and "Daughter Rui" turned into a seed and flew straight towards him.

The vision disappeared, and the room returned to darkness.

He was dumbfounded for a while, then suddenly lowered his head to look at his abdomen, then got off the bed and ran towards Yin Yan's room next door.

"Yin Yan! I just—"

The door of Yin Yan's room opened suddenly, and Yu Zhen knocked on the door in vain. He leaned forward and fell into Yin Yan's arms.

"What's wrong?" Yin Yan hugged him and asked in a low voice.

The posture of the other party hugging him was too natural. Yu Zhen sensed his breath, and all the excitement settled instantly. He looked up at him, touched the position of his dantian foolishly, and said, "I...my place is warm of."

In the previous practice, he had never felt the existence of the dantian, and Yin Yan only mentioned the words "Qi sinking to the dantian" and the need to sense the dantian when he first digested the power of the lotus seeds.

He knew that a cultivator should use the dantian, but because he has been cultivating all the time to accumulate merit and has never used it, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He thought that his cultivation method was rather special and he didn't need the dantian.

But today, he finally sensed the existence of Dantian for the first time.There is the root of a cultivator. He didn't feel it when he was practicing, and he didn't feel it when he entered the Tao. Now, he finally feels it.

It's as if the strength gained from cultivation in the body finally has a home, they gather there, like a small stove, warming the whole body.

He could even clearly feel that there was a golden seed lying there at this time, and the golden light of merit was floating around the seed, forming a special soil for the seed to grow.

It's amazing, it's like people suddenly have roots.

Yin Yan's originally calm expression was broken the moment he said these words, and he touched his dantian in a slight loss of composure, with strength surging in his hand.

"Don't, it's hot."

Yu Zhen struggled unbearably, and froze again after struggling.

He has also sensed Yin Yan's power before, such as when he saw nothingness for the first time, but the number of times was limited and the feeling was very vague.But now he could clearly feel the trajectory of Yin Yan's power enveloping his dantian, and he could even vaguely feel the excitement and eagerness in this power.

He raised his eyes and saw Yin Yan's serious expression of frowning which was rare at this time, his heart suddenly beat a little faster.

This person is very nervous about himself, very, very nervous, far more nervous than he thinks he is.

"Fate is emerging."

Yin Yan withdrew his strength, let go of his frowning brows, looked up at him, his Adam's apple moved, and said, "Congratulations, you have taken the first step."

Remnant soul, born with evil spirits, Yu Zhen's congenital conditions are ridiculously poor. I thought that pouring merits and virtues and resisting the influence of evil spirits to successfully enter the Tao is the limit. The follow-up practice must be planned slowly, but I didn't expect Yu Zhen to step out smoothly. took the first step.

The foundation of Taoism, the once damaged dantian actually came back, after reincarnation.

This person really... never let him down.

A touch of emotion mixed with pride suddenly surged up in his heart, Yu Zhen was a little dazed, his mind was chaotic, some vague thoughts were rushing to take the lead, but he was confused by the heat spreading outward from his dantian.

"You have just advanced, and you need to enter the tower to stabilize the realm."

Yin Yan suddenly let go of him, took out a ball for him to eat, and then summoned nothingness, and said: "You were completely unconscious when you entered the tower last time, you need to be careful this time, don't get lost in the illusion."

The pill melted in the mouth, a cold fragrance permeated the mouth, the brain suddenly cleared, all distracting thoughts disappeared, and only the golden seed in the dantian was in the mind.

Yin Yan took Yu Zhen, who was in a half-sedated state, and led him to the emptiest room on the second floor. After the nothingness turned into his body, he waved open the tower door and motioned him to come forward.

"you……"

"I'll wait for you outside."

Consciousness briefly returned to reality, and then quickly entered a mysterious state. Yu Zhen retracted his gaze and looked at the towering tower in front of him. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, and stepped up.

The tower door engraved with golden runes opened silently, and the inside was pitch black, making it impossible to see anything clearly.He stood at the door, turned his head to look at Yin Yan who was standing there, suddenly hesitated, and instinctively didn't want to leave Yin Yan's side.

As if seeing what he was thinking, Yin Yan stepped over, stretched out his arms to hug him, stroked his hair, and whispered in his ear: "Remember, keep your heart." After speaking, let him go, Push him gently into the tower.

Unprepared, Yu Zhen staggered two steps into the tower, turned around hastily, but only saw the tower door which was quickly closed.

boom.

The moment the tower door closed, a thunder sounded above the head, and the surrounding pitch-black picture was torn apart, revealing a pair of blurred figures of a young man and a woman.

They stood in a dark forest, the woman's hair was disheveled, and she was holding a swaddling baby tightly in her arms, and the man was fighting for her.

"Xiao Shu, you can't have this child. The doctor said he has a deformed brain and will be a fool in the future! It will only drag us down!"

"No, Jincheng, he is our first child, if it is a misdiagnosis, don't throw him away, okay, even send him to an orphanage, please don't throw him away."

The man called Jin Cheng seemed to have nothing to do with the woman, so he withdrew his hand irritably, turned around twice, and asked, "Do you really want to keep him?"

The woman wept bitterly and hugged the child tightly.

The man smashed the tree next to him hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just stay, don't regret it!"

Yu Zhen stood outside the screen, listening to their conversation, her heart beat slowly faster, and her eyes fell on the swaddling baby in the woman's arms.

Intuition told him that the child was himself.If the intuition is correct, the two people who are now arguing about whether to keep him should be his parents.

But didn't grandpa say that his parents died not long after he was born?Those two people...

The scene changed suddenly, and it became a scene in a small second bedroom.

Babies who have grown to a few months old lie in the cradle, only giggling and drooling, looking silly.

The haggard woman pushed the cradle collapsed, and screamed: "Smile and smile! You know how to laugh! You fool! Fool! People outside are laughing at me, and Jincheng doesn't like to go home anymore. Blame you!"

boom!

The cradle was pushed against the wall by her, and the baby inside was frightened, and finally stopped laughing and began to cry loudly.

The woman collapsed even more, stood up suddenly, reached out and pinched the baby's arm in the cradle.

"Do not……"

Yu Zhen's heart clenched into a ball, and she couldn't believe that the woman's attitude changed so quickly.

The picture changed again, the baby grew up a bit, but the woman's appearance changed.She wore a beautiful long dress, stepped on pointed high-heeled shoes, and painted her nails bright red. She completely ignored the crying child in the cradle, and went out with her handbag.

Not long after, the man in a suit and smelling of alcohol returned home without even looking at the cradle, and fell drunk on the sofa, complaining that the crying of the child disturbed his sleep before falling asleep.

Yu Zhen stood where she was, with her lips tightly pursed, trying to see the man's appearance clearly, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

The scene changed again, and it was still the second bedroom, where the young men and women were negotiating sarcastically, and the child in the cradle seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed.

"Yu Jincheng, I was really blind to be with you back then."

"Each each other."

"I don't want children."

"Neither do I."

The negotiation reached an impasse, and finally the woman came up with an idea and said, "Let's put it in the orphanage."

"I'm not as heartless as you." The man's words changed suddenly, and he said, "In this way, the house will belong to me. If you leave the house without leaving the house, I will take care of the children."

The woman sneered: "Are you so kind?"

"No." The man was frank, and said bluntly: "My Taoist adoptive father is a good man. He will definitely raise the child well after sending him there, which is better than in an orphanage. But what about you? Wang Shu, someone in your family can take care of you child?"

The woman was silent, looked sideways at the cradle for a while, then looked away firmly, and replied: "Okay, the house belongs to you."

All the pictures disappeared, and Yu Zhen stood in the darkness, stunned for a long time, laughing at himself.

Grandpa...how come you lied to me about my life experience.
