In the past five years, Little Hai Ren had grown more and more adorable. He was smart and bold, not at all like a six-year-old child. Now, Little Hai Ren had a younger brother, Nan Haiyi, and a younger sister, Nan Ping.
Little Hai Ren's grandparents had passed away in the past five years. In the past five years, under the guidance of his mother, Yue Ting, Little Hai Ren had made great progress. He was already familiar with the Thousand Character Classic and the Three Character Classic. He had also dabbled in the Four Books and Five Classics. Although his family was poor, little Hai Ren did not delay his studies since he was young. He learned more than his peers, and because Hai Ren was knowledgeable and had a strong memory, his studies were comparable to that of ordinary children.
On this day, after Little Hai Ren finished learning the Analects of Confucius, he went to the woods outside the town to cut firewood as usual.
The day before they left, Madam Liu shouted to Little Hai Ren,"Son, it's already the day and we don't lack firewood, so don't go.”
Little Hai Ren shouted to his mother," Mother, we don't have much firewood at home. It won't rain for a while. I'll go chop some wood and come back. I won't be caught in the rain. I'm smart."”With that, he took the hatchet and water bag and walked out of the palace.
After leaving Clear Spring Town, Little Hai Ren habitually took a shortcut that he found when he was chopping firewood. This path was rarely used and was very secretive. " Sigh..." A series of moans came intermittently. Little Hai Ren followed the sound and found a man in gray lying on the roadside. Out of curiosity, Little Hai Ren walked closer and found that it was an old man in his sixties who was on the verge of death.
Little Hai Ren quickly stepped forward and pulled the old man into his arms, shouting loudly,""Grandpa, wake up, wake up." At the same time, he took out his water bag and fed the old man a few mouthfuls of water. The old man woke up and looked at Little Hai Ren. He panted and said,"Child…Thank you, I can't take it anymore…If someone asks if you have slept with me, just say no. Even your parents can't say that they have slept with me, otherwise it will implicate you and your family. After I die, just sprinkle the medicine powder in the jade bottle on my body…Remember not to get the powder on your hands or body. I have a book in my arms for you. At the same time, I also have a few small things for you. You and I are fated. When you grow up, please give me the jade box in my arms according to the location of the letter in my arms. * He is frivolous and jealous, and he talks about planting poor people. He says that he is rich and rich, and that he is rich and rich.? br/
The old man looked at Little Hai Ren who was getting more and more listless. He tilted his head and passed away. "Grandpa! Grandpa!" Little Hai Ren shouted loudly. I promise you!"
Little Hai Ren mustered up his courage and reached into the old man's clothes to take out an ancient book, a jade box, a jade bottle, a jade pendant, a thick envelope, a small bag, and a few pieces of loose paper. According to the old man's instructions, he poured out the medicine powder from the small jade bottle and sprinkled it evenly on the old man's body. After the medicine powder was sprinkled on the old man's body, the old man's body gradually melted bit by bit. In the end, it completely turned into blood and seeped into the ground. Not even his clothes and hair were left.
Little Hai Ren looked at the wet ground and stood there in a daze for an hour. " Kacha!" A sudden clap of thunder woke Little Hai Ren up. After returning to reality, Little Hai Ren pinched his *** hard." Aiya!”It was really painful. It was real. Little Hai Ren, who was only six years old, quickly put the things he had picked up from the old man's arms into his arms and ran home as fast as he could.
After running for half a mile, three Taoist priests with swords on their backs blocked their way. One of them, who was wearing a blood-red Taoist robe, asked,"Little girl, have you seen a sick old man?”
"I didn't see you, Immortal," Little Hai Ren said.”
The blood-red Taoist priest asked,"Why isn't the child staying at home?"”
Little Hai Ren said," Immortal, you might not know this. Every day, after Hai Ren finishes memorizing books, he goes to the forest in front to chop wood. However, the weather is not good today. It looks like it's going to rain, so I have no choice but to return empty-handed." If there's nothing else, then Hai Ren will leave first. It's going to rain soon, so Hai Ren won't be accompanying the immortals.”After saying that, Little Hai Ren ran home.
The three Taoist priests looked at each other. The blood-red Taoist priest asked,"According to our tracking technique, Hui He Zi must be nearby. Junior Brothers, let's split up and search. We have to find Hui He Zi even if we have to dig three feet into the ground." As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap sounded. A heavy rain fell from the sky. Soon, the ground was filled with water. The water on the ground quickly covered the ground that was soaked by the old man's corpse.
When Little Hai Ren returned home, his clothes were already soaked, but the books and letters in his arms were not wet because Little Hai Ren had placed them under his armpits for protection. Liu-shi helped Little Hai Ren change his clothes and said with heartache,"Hai Ren, if the weather is bad, don't go and gather firewood. Look, you're all wet.”
Little Hai Ren said,"Mother, it's fine. My body is still strong."”
Madam Liu said," Alright, after changing your clothes, hurry to the kitchen and drink the ginger soup to drive away the cold."”
"Mother, if a person agrees to another person's request, does he have to do everything he can to fulfill it?" Little Hai Ren asked.”
Lady Liu said," Of course. As long as a man makes a promise to someone, he must keep it. This is what it means to keep your word. You must never go back on your word. Hai Ren, remember, if you don't keep your word, you can't stand tall."”
"Mother, I know." Little Hai Ren said.”
Little Hai Ren went to the kitchen and drank the ginger soup. Then, he returned to his room and took out the ancient book that the old man had left for him. It looked very old. The pages were not made of paper but leather. The handwriting was strange and ancient. It was neither gold nor seal script. He could not recognize a single word.
Little Hai Ren thought that he could only think of a way to ask his father. Only his father who was knowledgeable would be able to recognize this language. Then, he picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. The jade pendant was carved from a piece of blue jade, and there was a lifelike flying cloud crane carved on it. When the light shone on it, the cloud crane would show different flying postures according to the angle of the jade pendant. It was a treasure. The jade bottle contained medicine powder that could turn corpses into water. Although some of it had been used, there was still more than half of the bottle left. He had to keep it well, or else it would be bad if it got on his body or hands. The jade box was carved from a piece of beautiful jade, and there was a faint green light shining on it. Du wanted to open it, but Little Hai Ren couldn't open it after trying for a long time, so he gave up. The cloth bag was only the size of a palm and was very light, but he could feel that there were some small things inside.
The letter was very thick and was wrapped in a brown envelope without a seal. Little Hai Ren couldn't help but open the letter out of curiosity. There were two letters. One was addressed to the Cave Master, and the other was addressed to the fated person. The contents of the letter to Cave Master were: " Senior Brother, I obtained an ancient book in an ancient cave in Mount Kunlun, but I was accidentally discovered by the Demon Sect. They sent several groups of experts to surround me. I fought with my life on Mount Longquan. Although I managed to save the ancient book and break out of the encirclement, I was injured. What's even more unfortunate is that I seriously injured my Purple Mansion Nascent Soul. I can't turn the situation around now. I regret that I can't return the sect's precious treasure, the Sumeru Divine Cauldron. I had no choice but to seal it in a jade box and find a fated person to send it back to the sect. When the fated person is sent back to the sect, the senior brother can teach him a unique skill of the sect according to the request of the person and take him as a registered disciple. The younger brother will be extremely grateful. Brother Hui He Zi kowtowed."
The other letter was written to the "fated person". If you can fulfill my last wish according to the requirements in the letter, you can come to my sect to learn a unique skill. Older ordinary people can learn it to prolong their lives, and young people can learn it to obtain divine powers. I'm Hui Hezi, the elder of the Gray Cloud Cave of Kongtong Mountain. I've been besieged by the experts of the Demon Sect. I've been seriously injured and my foundation has been destroyed. My life is on the verge of death. However, it's a pity that I can't return the items of my sect to my sect. You can use the jade pendant to send the jade box to Senior Martial Brother Yun He, the Cave Master of Cangyun Cave in Kongtong Mountain. You can also learn a unique skill of our sect. I don't know why this book was written, but it passed away because of it. You must keep it well, so as not to be guilty of holding a treasure. I have a Ruyi Bag. The items in the bag are all things that I have used since I started cultivating. I also give it to you as a token of appreciation. Hui He Zi bows."
After reading the letter, Little Hai Ren put the letter back into the envelope. He supported his chin with his small hand, frowned, and fell into deep thought that was very inappropriate for his age…How could he not let his parents know and do what he promised the old man? What was the content of that ancient book? Why couldn't he recognize a single word? The sky darkened unknowingly. "Ren 'er, it's time for dinner." The sound of Madam Liu calling Little Hai Ren to eat came from the central room. "Mother, I'll be right there." Jian! I'm not going to let you go. I'm going to let you go. br/
Little Hai Ren sat in front of the dining table, eating plain porridge as he asked his father, Nan Weifeng, who had just returned from the Clear Spring Academy," Father, what dynasty is the non-metal and non-seal characters from? Do we have any books in our study that compare the ancient and modern?”
Nan Weifeng said," There are a few books that were left behind by your great-grandfather when he was an editor of the Imperial Academy. The handwriting is strange and ancient. Even I can only recognize 70 - 80% of them. Why are you asking about these?"”
"I picked up an ancient book when I was gathering firewood," Little Hai Ren said."I don't know any of the words in the book, so I asked."”
Nan Weifeng said," Let me see what kind of book can stump Ren 'er. Eat quickly. The porridge is cold."”
Little Hai Ren picked up an ancient book and remembered that the old man didn't want him to tell his family. He couldn't help but regret it, but since he had already said it, he could only do so. It seemed that he could only think of a way to convince his parents that he had obtained the book. Little Hai Ren hurriedly finished his meal and returned to his room to collect the other things. He then put the ancient book in his arms. * And he said, I'm afraid I'm not going to let you go. I'm not going to let you go. br/
Nan Weifeng saw little Hai Ren enter and quickly called out,"Ren 'er, these books were in your great-grandfather's collection. There should still be a volume of this book, but your great-grandfather couldn't collect all of it. I heard from your grandfather that your great-grandfather had always regretted this, and because this book wasn't complete, I haven't read it carefully.”Little Hai Ren saw that the book his father was pointing at was very similar to the ancient book in his arms, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
"The ancient book I found is very similar to this book. I wonder if it's the first volume?"”
"What?" Nan Weifeng asked. If that was the case, there couldn't be such a coincidence in the world, right? Quickly bring it over for father to take a look."
Little Hai Ren took out an ancient book and handed it to Nan Weifeng. Nan Weifeng took the book and placed it together with the ancient book in his hand. He carefully observed the texture of the book and the shape of the words. He found that the texture and the font of the book were exactly the same, except that Little Hai Ren's book seemed more ancient. Nan Weifeng used his profound knowledge to carefully read the words on the books and discovered that the first volume of the Chaos Sutra and the second volume of the Chaos Sutra were written on the covers of the two books.
Nan Weifeng was a calligraphy fanatic and was very interested in the calligraphy and writings of the past dynasties, especially in the study of uncommon characters. When he saw that these two books were actually a set, he couldn't help but feel his interest soar.
"Hai Ren, why don't you leave this book with me for a few days and let me help you translate these two books into modern Chinese before giving them to you?”Nan Weifeng said to Little Hai Ren.
"Then there is?" Little Hai Ren said. Forgive me! br/
That night, Nan Weifeng began to translate ancient and modern Chinese characters in his study. For more than a month, other than dealing with business in the Clear Spring Academy, Nan Weifeng spent the rest of his time in the study of his cottage.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Wei Feng called Little Hai Ren over and said,"Hai Ren, I've finished translating these two books. These two are the originals, and this is the translation. If you're interested, you can learn some ancient words by comparing the ancient and modern versions. It's also good to increase your experience. I think this is just a collection of miscellaneous skills, including Qi Refinement, Sword Refinement, Array Formation, Treasure Appraisal, Medical Divination, etc. You can look at it yourself but don't get lost in it.”
Little Hai Ren said," Thank you, Father. I will study the ancient characters seriously. I will definitely not be addicted to this book. Please don't worry, Father."”
