Chapter 77 At that moment, Kunlun
Needless to say, the box contained a mysterious worm egg, but it was not the egg of the evil worm we had originally thought, but the egg of another kind of magical worm.
Seeing this, we all breathed a sigh of relief, because at first we couldn’t figure out why the Grandmaster would bring the demon worm egg to Buhua. Could it be that the Grandmaster was also involved with the demon worm? As it turned out, it wasn’t. We had been thinking about it all wrong.
When Bu Hua saw the Grandmaster again, she was shocked. She was not shocked to see the Grandmaster again, but shocked that someone like the Grandmaster would be weak.
The master didn’t explain anything to Bu Hua, but simply handed her the box. He said, “It is most difficult to nurture the soul. Just as a person is injured, it is difficult to nurture the soul, which is only one of the powers of the soul. Do you know why you can communicate with the bug? It is because your soul power is particularly strong in sensing, and you can communicate at a higher level, a spiritual level. It’s not possible with ordinary people because their Yang bodies lock up their sensing fields. It’s even less possible with ordinary animals and the like, whose souls are many times weaker than those of humans, let alone being able to communicate with you. Only that bug, from a higher village, can you communicate with it because it is also strong enough.
“Why are you telling me this?” Bu Hua was very surprised. She didn’t quite believe that Lao Li had come to tell her this after seeing her again after so many years and finding her in the vast sea of people.
“Your ability is very special, but it is actually a kind of ability that comes from a dry well. In other words, your soul is not strong, but ordinary, but for some reason it was stimulated, and then the power of the soul was concentrated to exert this special ability, just like a person who has spent all the money he can earn in his life at a certain time. Do you understand? The soul accumulates strength through reincarnation, and an old soul is always stronger than a new one. I can’t explain it to you, but the only thing I can say is that this ability has damaged your soul, making it difficult to enter reincarnation. You helped me drug my soul, and I planted the cause. I and my descendants have also received the good fruit produced by you, so I must repay you. Old Li told Bu Hua everything very directly.
Buhua took the box and said with some doubt, “Can the contents of this box help my soul?” During this process, Buhua never doubted the authenticity of the contents. Every word that Lao Li said, she intuitively knew was true. This may also be a manifestation of Buhua’s soul’s ability to sense things.
“Yes, there is a worm egg in there, which also does not belong to this world. You come from Miaojiang, so you of course know how to plant a life-giving worm. Think of it as your life-giving worm, living with you, nourishing your soul naturally. It won’t completely restore you, but at least it will restore you to the ninth level. After you die, the worm will automatically return to where it belongs, and this will also clear the cause and effect between you and me.” After saying this, Old Li turned and left.
Bu Hua suddenly stopped Lao Li and asked, “Aren’t you from Kunlun? Kunlun is a place for immortals. My experience makes me believe that it is not a legend. I just want to ask you, if you are an immortal, how could you be so weak?”
Rarely, Lao Li turned around and looked at Buhua and said, “Who told you that I was a fairy? I came from Kunlun because Kunlun made me what I am, but I am a human being, just like everyone else.”
“What is Kunlun like? Can Zizi go back?” Bu Hua asked.
“Kunlun is not a place. I have only one answer. It may be with us, and we may see it or not see it.” Old Li answered a question that was not asked, and was about to leave.
But at this moment, Buhua stopped Li and said firmly, “I need you to help me with a favor. If you don’t help me, I won’t consider our karma settled. Because I have always owed Zizi, I can’t return to the Black Rock Miao Village in this life. I hope that my descendants can return one day. But the sacred insect is very temperamental. I hope you can think of a way to make it recognize my descendants.”
Old Li looked deeply into Buhua’s eyes and remained silent for a long time before saying, “Are you sure?”
Bu Hua nodded and said, “I’m sure.”
Old Li sighed and said, “This is your choice, and it will also be the choice of your descendants. If you do this, and he makes the wrong choice, will you harm him?”
Buhua said firmly, “I only know that Zizi saved my life. If it weren’t for her, I would have died when I was five years old. What you owe, you must repay. You made me owe Zizi. Isn’t that also your cause?”
This is the fiery and clear-cut character of the Miao girl. For the first time, her words left Li with no way to argue.
In the end, Li agreed. He said, “I won’t mention it, but you may not have avoided this disaster either. You have owed too much to the bugs in the past, and it is inevitable that your descendants will pay for it. It seems that many things cannot be avoided just because I want to help you.”
“I will educate my descendants well. I only know that what I owe must be repaid.” Bu Hua was so determined.
This was the second and last time that Buhua met with Lao Li. My master and Buhua’s entanglement ended here.
We were both puzzled. What did he mean by “from Kunlun”? Did he mean that Kunlun had made me what I am? I wouldn’t believe that my master was some kind of immortal. Didn’t he himself deny that?
The letter does not end here. At the end of the letter, Gao Ning tells of his own experiences. In short, he did not believe his grandmother’s magical story at first, and did not want to take the risk of seeing the sacred insect.
Despite the fact that his grandmother had produced the yin organ left by Lao Li to collect her soul’s will, and there was other evidence, Gao Ning was not interested in the matter.
Until the day his grandmother died, he wrote in the letter: “I didn’t expect that when my grandmother died, an unusually beautiful bug flew out of her body. I didn’t even know how it flew out, it just appeared out of nowhere, and there was no wound on my grandmother’s body.
This was not enough to shock me. What really shocked me was that the bug disappeared from our space, just like that, and I disappeared into thin air.
My grandmother said I was a gifted sorcerer, that my soul was particularly strong. Can I tell you? Chen Chengyi, at that moment, I saw Kunlun.
Yes, I saw Kunlun. From that moment on, I began to feel that I was unwilling to let my life end so ordinary. Money, power, and anything else could not attract me, because what is more desirable than Kunlun and eternal life?
So, I spent several years planning, and then I started to take action.
We all know what happened next, but it is worth mentioning that because Gao Ning inherited his grandmother’s abilities in some ways, although much weaker, he was much stronger than the other shamans.
As for me being targeted, it’s ridiculous, because I was sold to the Black Rock Miao Village by that organization. They knew that my blood was magical, and that the evolution of the worms every eighty years required my blood.
Incidentally, that little monster that disappeared has a connection with me, because Qi collected so much of my blood for so many days to feed that little monster.
At the end of the letter, Gao Ning wrote
“I feel the call more and more strongly. It’s near that village. I feel I have a chance to go to Kunlun. Or rather, it’s not my feeling, it’s Zizi. It feels the scent of its homeland.
I am going to set off there, waiting there, or Zizi did not lie to my grandmother, and I went there with it, we will be separated.
I feel that time is drawing near, and it won’t be long.
But, Chen Chengyi, can I tell you that I am scared? I can feel that I have a chance to go to Kunlun, but I also feel that I may not succeed, and I even feel that I may die? Who is not afraid of death? Maybe some people are not afraid, but I am.
Maybe you don’t think of me as a friend, but at this moment I have an urge to drink with you and pour out my heart. Maybe this way, I won’t be so scared.
You hate me, don’t you? I’ve been plotting against you for so long, but I really don’t hate you. It’s probably because you’re a fool and you’re not a threat to me.
Well, I’ve said everything I need to say, and I’m about to set off. Will you wish me luck? Chen Chengyi?
Haha, I’m starting to talk nonsense. If you can read this letter, it means I’ve already disappeared. Whether I’ve gone to Kunlun or died, it’s not your turn to wish me good luck.
But after you read this, can you say a little prayer for me?
Gao Ning
The letter ends here. I silently fold the paper, and at the same time, I say to myself, “Good luck, Gao Ning. I hope you can cherish this lucky escape from being devoured by your soul, and in your next life, you can be smart, but you must have a bottom line.
