A certain village …
This was a place where mortals lived.
On the surface of the sea, the sea breeze was blowing gently as a figure laid there. His body was covered with seaweed as he allowed the seawater to splash down on his body.
One wave after another.
He did not know if this person was dead or not.
All of a sudden!
That figure moved and stood up from the beach slowly. However, after taking a single step, he fell down. He then stood up again and walked off into the distance slowly.
In the village, smoke was emitted from the chimneys on the roofs. Every single household was ever so peaceful.
At the entrance of the village, a bunch of kids were surrounding a strange person.
"Seaweed Monster …!"
"Hurry up and hit the Seaweed Monster! He's walking towards us!"
A bunch of kids were waving branches that were only as thick as a thumb in their hands.
There was a cracking sound.
The moment those branches made contact with that figure, they seemed to be blocked by some sort of power and broke apart instantly.
When the kids caught sight of this, they started crying out and ran towards the village. They wanted to tell the adults that someone was bullying them.
When the villagers rushed to the entrance of the village and caught sight of that strange figure, they were all stunned. They did not know who this person was, but they felt that he was really weird.
"Who are you? We're just an ordinary village here …! "A bold middle-aged man gripped the tools in his hands tightly and asked nervously.
There was no reply.
However, everyone felt that this person before them was really dangerous, and they did not dare to offend him.
They knew that there were Immortals in this world, and they had seen Immortals flying over their heads before. However, they did not think that this person before them was an Immortal.
Thud!
The villagers realized that this person before them suddenly swayed a little before collapsing onto the ground as though he was dead.
After a long time …
The villagers stood there without moving at all, as though they were waiting for something.
They did not know who this person before them was, and they were all extremely afraid.
At this moment, an elderly man walked over with a walking stick in his hands. Looking at the person before him who was covered in seaweed, he pondered for a moment.
The surrounding villagers were waiting as well, as though they were waiting for the elderly man to speak up.
"Help him into the village." The elderly man said with a hoarse voice.
The young man in the village nodded his head and approached carefully, helping this strange person into the village.
Within the house …
The villagers gathered outside. Some tiptoed while others sneaked in. They wanted to see who this strange person was and what he was doing.
Why did he stand at the entrance of the village and then suddenly faint?
When the doctor in the village saw the condition of the mysterious man, all the villagers who were watching took in a breath of cold air.
How terrifying!
Some of the children were so frightened that they cried.
There was a wound on his chest. One could even see his beating heart. But strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed out.
"Who the hell is he? How can he still be alive after suffering such heavy injuries?" The village doctor exclaimed in shock. Not only was his chest pierced, but the other parts of his body were also damaged. If it was them, they would have already died.
The village chief looked at the crowd outside and said, "Let the children leave first."
Since the old man had spoken, the young men in the village wouldn't disobey. Then, they let the children leave.
"Do your best," the old man said to the doctor.
The old doctor nodded. He had never seen such injuries before. Even if he had seen such injuries before, it wouldn't be like this person's. There was still heartbeat and breathing.
Sometimes, the young men in the village would catch wild beasts in the mountains and they would get injured too. If they had such injuries, they would have died long ago.
The crowd dispersed!
The doctor brewed medicinal herbs to treat this mysterious man.
It wasn't that the elders in the village weren't worried about whether this person was a bad person. But looking at his face, he was young and he didn't look like a bad person. At the same time, they were kind-hearted and they couldn't just leave him to die. Hence, they could only try their best.
A few days later.
The doctor came three times a day to check on the young man's condition. He was shocked by the young man's vitality. It was just too tenacious. The medicinal herbs that were placed on the young man's body actually dried up after a while.
At the same time, when they fed the young man porridge, they could see the porridge disintegrating in his body.
It was just too magical.
The people in the village kept discussing this mysterious man. Recently, this mysterious young man's arrival made the villagers very curious. When they were farming, they were all discussing about him.
Another few days passed.
On a walkway in the fields …
A young man stood there in a daze as if he was in pain, watching the people farming in the field.
"Seaweed …!"
The children who were running on the muddy ground surrounded the young man and called out in laughter.
That was the name of the young man. The villagers did not know who this young man was, nor did they know what his name was. Eventually, they just called him Seaweed.
That was because when the villagers first saw him, he was covered in seaweed.
The young men in the village were extremely afraid of this young man at the start. But later on, they realized that this young man did not seem to be able to speak at all. At the same time, his reactions towards everything were extremely slow. Even if they were to call out to him, he would only turn his head slightly to look at them.
Those eyes of his were lifeless, as though he had lost his soul.
At the same time, the hole in his chest was still extremely obvious. From time to time, there would even be some black smoke coming out of it, looking extremely horrifying.
"Seaweed! Why can't you speak?" A little girl wearing pink clothes with two little braids bounced up her head and looked at Seaweed in bewilderment.
"Seaweed, he doesn't know how to speak! He only knows how to sleep!" Another child said.
…
Yet another few days passed by …
By now, the villagers were already used to this young man. At the same time, they felt that this young man was really weird. That was because this young man would always stand in the yard and raise his head to look at the void. And just like that, he would stand there for an entire night without any hint of sleepiness at all.
In fact, he wouldn't even eat anything. The only time he would open his mouth was when someone brought something to his mouth.
On this particular day …
A ritual was being held in the village.
Because of the drought, the plants in the fields were almost dying. Even though they could head to other places to look for water sources, they would be dozens of miles away. At the same time, there would be many dangers along the way as well. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for the villagers.
Not too far away from the village, the villagers were kneeling down on the ground and praying to a clay statue made of mud.
"May the weather be favorable."
"Rain …"
"Rain …"
The young man stood there and looked at everything before him. His eyes shone with a glint that disappeared almost immediately.
That mouth of his that had never moved at all suddenly moved gently, as though it was moving along with the voice of the villagers.
"Rain …"
The moment he opened his mouth, a gust of wind blew across the entire world. That initially scorching hot sky was covered by a patch of dark clouds all of a sudden.
There was no Lei Ting.
There were no signs at all.
All of a sudden, a heavy downpour descended.
When the villagers caught sight of this, all of them got agitated.
"The rain is here! The rain is here …!"
